Soul travels through the world of immortality

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, several months have passed. Li Mingyang's life in Lin'an City has gradually stabilized.

He would wander around the market every day and made many like-minded friends. These friends came from all walks of life, some were literati, some were knights-errant, and some were street vendors. Their presence made Li Mingyang's life colorful.

Among his many friends, Li Mingyang interacted most frequently with the zither player Su Wan. Su Wan was a talented woman, and her zither sounded like the sound of nature, intoxicating people. Whenever night fell, Li Mingyang would always come to Su Wan's residence to listen to her playing one moving piece after another. And Su Wan would also tell him some stories about music theory and life philosophy, which benefited Li Mingyang a lot.

One evening, the sun was setting and the afterglow was shining on the earth, giving people a warm and peaceful feeling. At this time, Li Mingyang was sitting in a teahouse, tasting the fragrant tea and enjoying this moment of tranquility. Suddenly, a servant came running over and handed him an urgent letter.

Li Mingyang opened the envelope and found it was from Su Wan. The tone of the letter was very anxious. It turned out that one of her good friends had met with an accident in an ancient temple in the suburbs and was in critical condition. Su Wan hoped that Li Mingyang could go to help because she knew that Li Mingyang had extraordinary skills and wisdom.

After reading the letter, Li Mingyang frowned slightly, and a feeling of worry surged in his heart. He knew that this trip might be full of dangers, but he also knew that as a friend, he could not sit idly by. So he immediately got up and prepared to go to the ancient temple.

After returning home, Li Mingyang changed into light clothes for easier movement. He also took his dagger with him just in case. After everything was ready, he hurriedly set out on the journey to the ancient temple.

Along the way, Li Mingyang's mood became heavier and heavier. He didn't know what was waiting for him ahead.

This mysterious ancient temple is located in a dense forest outside the city, surrounded by dense trees, forming a natural barrier. The environment here is very quiet, except for the occasional bird calls, there is almost no sound.

Li Mingyang walked along a winding path, taking every step with great caution. Finally, after a long journey, he saw the ancient temple hidden deep in the forest from afar. The temple looked very dilapidated, with peeling walls and a shabby roof, but it still exuded a quaint charm.

The temple door was half-open, with a faint candlelight shining through, as if telling the outside world about its past glory and vicissitudes.

Li Mingyang took a deep breath and then carefully pushed open the temple door. The door hinge made a creaking sound, which made people feel terrified.

After entering the ancient temple, he found that it was filled with an old smell and the ground was covered with dust. It was obvious that no one had been here for a long time. He looked around and his eyes finally fell on the young woman sitting on the altar.

The woman looked to be about 20 years old, with a beautiful face and an anxious expression. When she saw Li Mingyang, she immediately stood up, her eyes full of gratitude.

"Are you Brother Li Yun? I am Su Wan's good friend, my name is Liu Qing. My senior brother is trapped in this temple, I hope you can help me." Liu Qing said anxiously.

Li Mingyang nodded, indicating that he was Li Yun, and motioned Liu Qing to lead the way.

The two walked through the dilapidated hall and came to a secret room in the backyard. The door of the secret room was tightly closed, and a cold breath came out from the crack of the door, which made people shudder.

Li Mingyang concentrated his attention and listened carefully to the movements in the secret room. He could vaguely hear a low chanting voice coming from the secret room, the voice was melodious and graceful, as if it came from a distant time and space.

He gently pushed the door open and saw a man in a Taoist robe sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, surrounded by a faint blue light. The man had a handsome face and elegant temperament, but at this moment he looked a little pale and weak.

"Senior Brother!" Liu Qing shouted excitedly.

The man slowly opened his eyes, a relieved smile on his face. "You're here..." he said softly, with a hint of fatigue in his voice.

"This is..." Li Mingyang was shocked. He recognized that the blue light was emitted by a special cultivation method. This method is usually only mastered by a very small number of gifted practitioners, and requires a very high level of cultivation and state of mind to perform. I didn't expect to see someone using this method here.

When Liu Qing saw Li Mingyang's reaction, she said anxiously, "This is my senior brother. He has been sitting like this since he entered this secret room. It has been several days. We have tried many ways, but we can't wake him up." There was obvious worry and anxiety in her voice, and it was obvious that she was very concerned about her senior brother's condition.

Li Mingyang walked forward and carefully observed the man's condition. He found that there was a strong energy circulating in the man's Dantian, but it seemed to be restrained by some force and could not be fully released. This situation is very rare. Generally speaking, it only occurs in a specific cultivation environment or when there is external interference.

"This is a special state of cultivation, called 'entering meditation'." Li Mingyang said in a deep voice, "But your senior brother's situation is a little different. He seems to be affected by some external force, which makes him unable to come out of meditation on his own." His tone was serious and earnest, which made people feel a little nervous.

When Liu Qing heard this, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes: "Brother Li Yun, do you have any solution?" She stared at Li Mingyang, as if she had grasped the last straw.

Li Mingyang thought for a while and said, "I can try to use my inner strength to help him free himself, but this requires your trust and cooperation. If you are willing to trust me, let me give it a try." His eyes were firm and confident, making Liu Qing and others feel his sincerity and determination.

Liu Qing nodded quickly: "As long as we can rescue Brother, we are willing to do anything."

Li Mingyang took a deep breath, sat cross-legged opposite the man, and placed his hands on his shoulders. He used the Qi in his body and slowly injected it into the man's body. As the Qi was injected, the blue light around the man began to become unstable and gradually dispersed.

Suddenly, a strong recoil force came from the man's body, and Li Mingyang was shocked and took a few steps back, almost falling. He quickly stabilized his body and tried again. This time, he adjusted the frequency of his true qi to resonate with the energy in the man's body.

Gradually, the man's breathing became steady, and the blue light around him gradually dissipated. Finally, he slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of confusion and surprise.

"Junior sister, Brother Li Yun, why are you here?" the man asked puzzledly.

Liu Qing hurried forward and said excitedly: "Brother, you finally woke up! We thought you would never wake up."

The man looked around and realized that he was in a secret room. He recalled what happened before and suddenly realized: "So that's it. I was trying an ancient practice method and accidentally fell into a state of 'meditation'."

Li Mingyang smiled and said, "The method your senior brother is practicing is called 'Ling Yuan Jue', which is an extremely rare method of practice. It can guide the spiritual energy between heaven and earth into the body and accelerate the practice process. But if it is not mastered properly, it is easy to fall into a situation where you can't extricate yourself."

Upon hearing this, the man bowed to Li Mingyang gratefully and said, "Thank you, Brother Li Yun, for saving me. If it weren't for you, I would have been in trouble."

Li Mingyang waved his hand, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "It's just a small matter, no need to be so polite. However, you must be careful and cautious when practicing in the future, and don't be greedy and reckless, so as not to fall into danger."

The man nodded repeatedly, his eyes full of gratitude, and said that he would definitely remember Li Mingyang's teachings. Then, he introduced to Li Mingyang in detail the practice methods of "Lingyuan Jue" and the matters that need to be paid attention to.

Li Mingyang listened carefully, but a storm was brewing in his heart. He was surprised to find that this "Ling Yuan Jue" was not only a powerful cultivation method, but also a brand-new cultivation concept. It focused on living in harmony with nature and improving one's own cultivation realm by guiding the spiritual energy between heaven and earth.

"It turns out that there is such a way to practice!" Li Mingyang was amazed in his heart, "Perhaps, this is the key to my breaking through the current bottleneck."

On the way back to Lin'an City, the practice method of "Lingyuan Jue" kept emerging in Li Mingyang's mind.

He made up his mind that in the days ahead, he would try hard to integrate this unique practice method into his own practice and find new directions for breakthroughs.

After returning to Lin'an City, Li Mingyang couldn't wait to explore the mystery of "Lingyuan Jue".

He spent a lot of time every day studying this secret book and putting it into practice based on his own cultivation experience.

Gradually, his understanding of the "Ling Yuan Jue" became deeper and deeper, and he also made remarkable progress in the process of cultivation.

However, just as Li Mingyang devoted himself to cultivation, a sudden crisis befell Lin'an City...

It was a sunny afternoon, the sun was shining, the breeze was blowing, the leaves were rustling, and the birds were singing happily. However, this peaceful scene was broken by a sudden vibration. Li Mingyang was practicing in a cave outside the city. He closed his eyes and immersed himself in his own world. Suddenly, he felt a strong wave coming from a distance, as if the whole earth was shaking. He was startled, opened his eyes quickly, and stood up. He walked out of the cave and looked into the distance, only to see dark clouds on the horizon and an ominous atmosphere spreading.

Li Mingyang frowned, and a sense of uneasiness surged in his heart. He knew that this kind of unusual situation often meant the coming of danger. He decided to return to Lin'an City immediately to see what happened. He used his Qinggong skills and rushed back to the city as fast as a bird. When he returned to Lin'an City, he was shocked by the scene in front of him. The city was in chaos, and the people were panicking and running around, their faces full of fear and despair. The houses on both sides of the street collapsed one after another, raising clouds of smoke and dust, forming a hazy dust fog.

Li Mingyang was extremely anxious. He shuttled through the crowd, looking for familiar figures. Finally, he found Su Wan and Liu Qing. They were pale and terrified, obviously very frightened. Li Mingyang asked hurriedly: "What happened? Why is this happening?" Su Wan replied tremblingly: "Just now, a group of monsters suddenly appeared in the north of the city. They are extremely ferocious, and the guards in the city are no match for them. We must find a way to stop them!"

After hearing the news, Li Mingyang's face became solemn and his eyebrows knitted tightly together. He knew in his heart that the sudden appearance of the monster was definitely not a coincidence, and there must be a huge conspiracy behind it. So, he made up his mind without hesitation to go to the north of the city in person to understand the actual situation there.

"You just stay here and make sure you are safe." Li Mingyang solemnly instructed the people around him, "I will be back as soon as possible."

Su Wan and Liu Qing nodded obediently to show that they understood, and then saw Li Mingyang off with concerned eyes.

Li Mingyang's footsteps were brisk, and he rushed away like a gust of wind. After a while, he arrived at the north of the city. The scene in front of him made him feel nervous. He saw that the city wall was covered with cracks, and the originally solid city gate had turned into ruins. A group of hideous monsters of various shapes were rampant in the city, and the guards in the city were desperately resisting their attacks. However, the situation was still at a disadvantage and the situation was extremely critical.

Li Mingyang quickly observed and assessed the current situation. He noticed that although there were a large number of these monsters, they seemed to lack unified command and dispatch. After careful consideration, he made a decision that he should first eliminate a few powerful monsters to stabilize the current tense situation.

He held the short sword at his waist tightly in his right hand, his eyes firm and resolute. He took a deep breath and used all his strength to activate the "Spiritual Yuan Jue". The true energy in his body was like a surging river, flowing rapidly through his body and converging on the sword. He leaped up and pounced on a huge wolf-shaped monster, drawing a sharp arc in the air.
