Under One Person: My Inner Realm Connects to All Worlds!

Chapter 44 A Grand Master

The pill realm before Han Yun shattered completely, revealing the original stone chamber scene.

He looked down at his palm, and with a thought, a wisp of golden flame rose from his palm, pure and bright, without a trace of impurity.

This is the manifestation of the Dao mind, and it is also the foundation for future cultivation.

"The path of alchemy is long and winding, and today I have only just begun," Han Yun murmured to himself, his gaze resolute.

With this Golden Elixir Path, he has finally entered the fundamental gate of the Great Dao.

He bowed deeply to the vast emptiness, respectfully saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. I will certainly follow your teachings and live up to the true legacy of alchemy!"

Since he has inherited the Daoist teachings of Ge Zu, it wouldn't be a loss for him to call him "Master." Besides, Ge Zu is a Daoist patriarch, so it's good to have his coattails. Who knows, they might come in handy!
Han Yun's main strategy is to cast a wide net and catch as many fish as possible, taking chances regardless of whether there are any.

This time, Han Yun's identity as an "alchemist" is completely confirmed and is no longer a fabrication.

Then, adhering to the principle of "a thief doesn't leave empty-handed"... well, to save money, Han Yun packed up everything and took it with him, including the alchemy furnace and the gold dust on the upper layer.

“Master, I believe you won’t blame me. These are all things from our sect, and it is perfectly legitimate for me, as your disciple, to inherit them.”

As Han Yun packed the items and placed them into the interior space, he spoke with conviction.

After packing everything up, Han Yun managed to erase the marks left by the breach in Danxia Cave, restoring it to its original state, and then returned to Qingxu Temple.

After all, if he just left like that, Master Xuanzhen would inevitably become suspicious.

"Has the layperson gained anything?"

Han Yun shook his head and said, "No, but the scenery of Qingxu Mountain is quite nice. Although it is winter, the mountain is majestic and the icefalls are hanging upside down, which has a unique charm."

Upon hearing this, Master Xuanzhen sighed, "Alas, perhaps there is no trace of the Ge Ancestor here at all, or perhaps the so-called Ge Ancestor's legacy is just this fragment of the 'Baopuzi'."

"It's like trying to catch the moon's reflection in a well, or drawing water with a bamboo basket—it's all for naught. We have our own great path, so why seek truth elsewhere? This branch of my lineage ends with me, and it's time to return to our ancestral home." Master Xuanzhen looked dazed and sighed deeply.

Han Yun exchanged some polite words and then took his leave.

Master Xuanzhen lowered his hands to see him off.

Having spent some time, and with nightfall approaching, Han Yun decided to rest for the night in a nearby county.

The next morning, after having a local specialty, braised pork in a bowl, we headed towards the Sun family's house in Wanxian County.

This Sun family is the same Sun family that Sun Lutang belonged to.

Sun Lutang was known in the modern world of extraordinary people as the Martial Saint, the Martial God, the All-rounder, the Tiger-Headed Young Guardian, and the Number One Hand in the World.

According to records, Sun Lutang began traveling at the age of twenty-five, during which time he traveled to counties and countryside, and visited famous sects such as Shaolin, Wudang, and Emei.

Upon hearing of someone with exceptional skills, I will not hesitate to travel far and wide, even through dangerous obstacles, to visit them.

Those who disagreed with him challenged him, and he never lost. Like Han Yun today, he also traveled thousands of miles to hone his skills.

I once met a strange man, a wandering hermit, whose secular surname was Zhang, but who was actually a disciple of the Zhang family of Longhu Mountain. He taught me a secret method for cultivating the mind and nourishing the Qi, which could naturally lead to fasting and cleanse the body of impurities in the blood and Qi.

Later, Sun Lutang incorporated this into his practice of Xingyi Bagua, reaching the point where he could leap into the air and unleash divine light with his wisdom sword.

Later, he studied the Book of Changes under a high monk in Sichuan, and built a hermitage in Wudang with a hermit named Chen, where he listened to his lectures on alchemical texts. This journey lasted for more than three years, during which he learned about various arts and techniques, which enabled Sun Lutang to reach the pinnacle of his cultivation. His every action, every thought, and every response was in accordance with the principles of Heaven and the Dao.

When one's sexual cultivation reaches the state of emptiness and nothingness, one can perceive without hearing or seeing. Even when faced with unexpected events, one can respond calmly and respond with understanding.

It can be said that they neither saw nor heard anything, and avoided danger when they sensed it.

Later, Sun Lutang proposed a consistent and purely spiritual approach. He also followed Lao Tzu's natural way, combined the meanings of the Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing, and integrated various schools of thought into one.

He combined the essence of Xingyi, Bagua, and Taiji martial arts to create the principles and methods of Sun-style Taijiquan.

Finally, it is pointed out that the essence of Tai Chi Chuan is nothing more than the study of the expansion and contraction of Qi, and the same is true for Xingyi Quan and Bagua Quan. The three styles of boxing have different applications and emphases, but their principles are the same, which has a sense of returning to simplicity and authenticity.

The One Qi refers to the Qi of Harmony and True Unity, which arises from Wuji (the primordial state of nothingness). It fully describes the essence of the primordial One Qi. Therefore, all martial arts originate from emptiness and return to emptiness.

A famous Wudang master once said: "Mr. Sun Lutang was uniquely proficient in Xingyi, Bagua and Taiji, and reached the highest level of mastery. In addition to his diligent study and good understanding, he was truly gifted with exceptional talent and superior skills."

It can be said that Sun Lutang was a man of extraordinary luck at that time. In addition to his amazing talent, he also had good comprehension and was blessed with the help of benefactors in his life.

It was the right time, the right luck, and the right fate that created such a master.

Therefore, the Sun family is a place we must visit.

The Sun family residence in Wanxian County is located in the eastern suburbs of the county. The house, with its blue bricks and gray tiles, is simple and grand, with a large courtyard and deep walls. A pair of majestic stone lions stand in front of the gate.

Han Yun's ears twitched slightly as he heard the sounds of fists and feet whistling through the air coming from inside the courtyard.

He knocked on the door as usual, and soon someone opened the door. Seeing his extraordinary demeanor, the person quickly stepped forward to bow.

Han Yun smiled slightly and explained his purpose: "I am Han Yun, the fifth successor of the Great Sword King. I have long admired the Sun family's reputation and have come here to seek their guidance."

Why is he said to be a successor of Wang Wu, the Great Swordsman? Because Wang Wu and Sun Lutang were known as the top ten masters of the late dynasty, and they have some connection.

Moreover, if we fight the Sun family, my knife skills will definitely be exposed, so there's no need to hide them.

The man looked embarrassed: "Unfortunately, my patriarch is currently in the backyard instructing the younger generation in their martial arts training, and has instructed that no guests be received..."

Before the words were finished, a clear, loud laugh suddenly rang out from inside the courtyard: "Distinguished guests have arrived! I am so sorry for not welcoming you properly!"

A middle-aged man dressed in a dark blue robe strode over, his eyes sharp as lightning, his steps swift and powerful.

Han Yun was startled when he saw this person. The man's Qi was perfectly harmonious and unimpeded, as if he were one with heaven and earth. This showed that the Sun family had an extraordinary heritage and profound foundation.

The middle-aged man cupped his hands and smiled, "I am Sun Weiyue, the current head of the Sun family. I just heard you claim to be a descendant of Master Wang Wu. Do you have any proof?"

Han Yun remained calm and unhurried, taking two swords from his back and confidently declaring, "I'll rely on the long sword in my hand!"

Having said that, he drew his white calf saber, its blade aura sharp and pure, clear and melodious like a dragon. With a casual slash, he left a three-zhang-long crack in the ground.

"how?"

Sun Weiyue's pupils contracted, but his eyes showed a hint of closeness: "Mr. Wang Wu had a very close relationship with my late grandfather. As his successor, he is family. Please come in!"

Han Yun followed Sun Weiyue through several courtyards, where dozens of young disciples were practicing. Some were practicing Tai Chi, some were walking the Bagua steps, and some were practicing Xingyi Quan. Their moves were different, but all were full of vitality.
