Volume 3: The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors Chapter 437: Although the world is big, it can also be “netted”!
Qing Qian looked at his teacher with resentment in his eyes.
Rong Chengzi coughed lightly and explained, "Master is good at preserving life and nourishing Qi, but it's not just that. In fact, in addition to Qi, Master also cultivates martial arts."
After saying this, Rong Chengzi suddenly waved his sleeves, and his blood and energy surged, shaking the void. He shouted softly, and shook his strong arms, and only the roar of the distant mountains could be heard.
Qing Qian looked at it and his pupils shrank slightly. The undulating mountains had been razed to the ground and the void had collapsed into pieces.
"Teacher, you didn't use any magic?" Although he was young, he was not a novice in cultivation. Qing Qian had his own unique keen sense of spiritual energy and magic power.
Rong Chengzi smiled and said, "Exploring the potential of the human body, tempering the flesh, and forging the spirit is the path of martial arts for our human race. Practicing martial arts requires very little spiritual energy from heaven and earth. Even humans who are not qualified for refining qi and cannot reach the path of immortality can practice it."
Qing Qian asked: "Then the teacher is refining qi..."
Rong Chengzi stroked his beard and smiled: "My tribe's martial arts developed relatively late. In order to pave the way for our martial arts, I, your master, first cultivated immortality and then practiced martial arts, intending to combine the theory of qi with the way of martial arts."
"The future of martial arts?" Qing Qian blinked.
"Yes, the path of martial arts." Rong Chengzi sighed, "The martial arts of our tribe are derived from the body-building methods of the witch tribe. However, witches and humans are different. Humans learn the ways of the witch tribe, but in the end they still have to walk their own path."
He told Qing Qian that the human race's martial arts had only progressed to the sixth realm, corresponding to the Taiyi Golden Immortal of the Immortal Path. The road to the seventh realm had barely taken halfway.
"As for the cultivation system, if it's not opened yet, then it's not opened yet. How can you say it's only half opened?" Qing Qian was puzzled.
Rong Chengzi smiled bitterly and said, “That’s because it’s not that no one has entered the seventh realm, but the method is too unique and only suitable for a few races. It can’t be promoted, so it’s only half successful.
Just like climbing a tree to pick fruit, some people are naturally gifted and can reach it safely with just one leap, while others who try to do so either fail to jump or fall to their death or become disabled.
Qing Qian suddenly realized.
"How many people in the human race have entered the Dao through martial arts now?"
"Including the founder and the successor, there are only nine people in two generations." Rong Chengzi shook his head.
Qing Qian asked, "Is the teacher among these nine people?"
Upon hearing this, Rong Chengzi's face flushed, his pride evident in his words. He said, "Of course, your master is the leader of the human race's martial arts and Qi cultivation lineage!"
After hearing this, Qing Qian smiled.
Martial arts leader?
Not a bad title!
"Teacher, as your direct disciple, wouldn't I be second to none in the Qi cultivation lineage?" Qing Qian was very excited.
When Rong Chengzi heard this, his expression instantly became a little unnatural. He coughed lightly and said vaguely, "Almost, almost."
Currently, there are only two of them in the Qi cultivation lineage, so Qing Qian is half right.
As for whether the other half can be realized...
Rong Chengzi looked at Qing Qian in front of him, and a glimmer of hope ignited in his eyes.
"I hope this kid can hold on, otherwise I will be left with no one to follow me again!"
Qing Qian felt uncomfortable being stared at by Rong Chengzi. He changed the subject and asked, "Teacher, you are the leader of the martial arts Qi cultivation lineage. Does that mean there are other lineages?"
"You are quite clever." Rong Chengzi smiled faintly and said, "In addition to my Qi cultivation lineage, there is also Chisongzi's Jing cultivation lineage, Ning Fengzi's Shen cultivation lineage, and Wuhuaizi's Li cultivation lineage."
"Essence, energy, spirit, and strength?"
Qing Qian chewed over these four words for a long time before asking, "What is the difference between the four meridians?"
"In the art of martial arts, one must cultivate Qi over and over again, build five towers and twelve cities to temper oneself, so that one can achieve immortality and explore the infinite possibilities of the great Dao. In addition..." Rong Chengzi spoke eloquently, describing the essentials and wonderful methods of martial arts cultivation with Qi one by one, which made Qing Qian feel very impressed.
"...Of course, I have reached the pinnacle of Qi cultivation in martial arts. There are many other principles that I will not elaborate on one by one. After all, you, Qian'er, have only just begun to glimpse the ways of Qi cultivation, and you may not understand the mysteries yet." Rong Chengzi spoke from early morning to late evening, and he stopped only when he heard Qing'er's stomach rumbling.
Qing Qian was so fascinated by what was being said that he didn't feel hungry, but his body couldn't bear it anymore, so he had no choice but to eat first.
"Teacher, why do you practice martial arts?"
After regaining his spirits, Qing Qian asked again.
"I have practiced martial arts diligently, learned from the Wu clan, and focused on strengthening my physical body, seeking immortality of the flesh!"
Qing Qian frowned, "Not cultivating the soul?"
Rong Chengzi shook his head, "Don't practice! It's hard to be refined with mixed things, so just take the path of purity. If gods stand in my way, kill them; if immortals stand in my way, kill them!"
"What about the divine martial arts?" Qing Qian asked again.
Rong Chengzi replied, "The key to cultivating the martial arts is to temper the mind and cultivate the divine will of the martial arts. This will allow you to break through illusions and reality, illuminate the great Dao, and make your own will seem real. With your will, you can control the power of heaven and earth. If you take it a step further, you will achieve the unity of heaven and man, transcend the other shore, and reach the primordial chaos!"
Among our four lineages, Ning Fengzi has gone the smoothest and furthest. Three humans have already become his disciples and have reached the seventh level. If this lineage can be further promoted, it will become a prominent sect! It is not like Wu Huaizi and I, who only have wonderful methods but are incomplete and have nothing to pass on! "
Speaking of this, Rong Chengzi sighed repeatedly.
Qing Qian consoled him, "Teacher, don't you still have me as your disciple?"
Rong Chengzi smiled.
"So, your master has high hopes for you. I hope that you can inherit my unique skills, constantly improve them, and then open up a universal path for our human race!"
Qing Qian immediately expressed his attitude, "I will definitely live up to the teacher's trust!"
The master and the disciple encouraged each other for a while, and Rong Chengzi then introduced the art of martial arts.
"The idea of Wu Huaizi cultivating martial arts stems from a venerable master. This method emulates the great god Pangu, requiring the creation of an inner world within the human body . If one day this method is developed to its ultimate limit, allowing the inner and outer worlds to merge, then the martial artist may be able to achieve eternity with the world and attain the Infinite."
That’s right, the goal of human martial arts has always been to reach the other side of the Tao!
It can be said that it is very ambitious.
But any complete cultivation system must have this step.
Attaining enlightenment and achieving enlightenment is the lifelong pursuit of those who practice Taoism.
Not only the human race, but also many sacred beings and races in the world have explored the path to enlightenment.
The human race strives for perfection in martial arts, the witch clan strives for the pinnacle in strength, dragons, phoenixes and unicorns compete for luck, and the former demon ancestor Luohou even spread the magic way to the world. The perfection of his system is no less than that of the immortal way. Even Luohou himself almost succeeded, but unfortunately he was defeated in the end.
The Taoist ancestor ascended to the top, and the immortal path flourished.
But this does not mean that the Demon Ancestor’s path is wrong.
Therefore, most of the ancient saints split into the demon world, which may be a search for an alternative way to attain enlightenment.
Qing Qian frowned after hearing the four methods.
"Why can't the four methods work together?"
He always felt that the Four Pulses method was too extreme.
Rong Chengzi said: "Because the road ahead is blocked, we can only take a different approach. As long as it works, it is the right path! But even so, it cannot be universal."
In addition to them, many human beings are exploring the martial arts, but unfortunately none of them are as good as these four methods. At least they have reached the seventh level.
"So, the human race's martial arts urgently needs someone to cleanse the world and open up a new path forward?"
Qing Qian knew about the predicament of human martial arts, and with Rong Chengzi constantly conveying his feelings to him, this gave rise to boundless ambition in his small body.
He has an attitude of "who else but me?"
…
Sacrifice Mountain.
Little Fuxi practiced Taoism with Mingyu, with a seven-day cycle, practicing for five days and resting for two days.
The wise Fuxi named these seven days after the five elements, the sun and the moon. The first day was called Jin Yao Ri and the seventh day was called Ri Yao Ri.
In addition to cultivation, young Fuxi also asked Mingyu for advice on the principles of the world. During the two days of rest, Mingyu asked him to observe everything in the tribe carefully, and if there was anything unclear, he could ask her.
Little Fuxi did as he was told. He practiced Taoism with Mingyu for five days, and spent two days returning to the tribe with his mother to interact with the tribesmen one by one. While combining work and rest, he explored the way to behave in the world.
He would put into practice the principles he learned from Mingyu and guide the tribesmen in their production work.
Fuxi had displayed all kinds of supernatural powers since he was a child, and his tribesmen were not surprised. After verifying his words several times, they found they were very effective. Since then, no one would question him.
They even expected little Fuxi to bring them more surprises.
And little Fuxi did not disappoint the expectations of his tribe. When he was twelve years old, he was lying under a big tree and saw a spider weaving a web to hunt. He was so inspired that he invented a hunting tool for human beings - the net.
From then on, the Hua clan used nets to trap wild beasts, catch birds, and catch fish and shrimp.
A small net has brought great convenience to the tribe.
Fuxi also received the support of the Hua tribe.
The clan leader Hua Yun also gradually let Fuxi take over the clan affairs.
"Sir, I understand!"
When the first net was formed, mysterious and yellow merits descended from the sky.
Merits come from the Queen Mother of Heaven.
Nuwa said that this move would be of great benefit!
It was also on that day that the twelve-year-old Fuxi officially opened the door to immortality.
Mingyu looked at the handsome young man in front of her and asked with a smile, "What do you understand?"
Fuxi spread out the net, which was stained with Xuanhuang's merits, and became more dazzling under the sunlight.
"The teacher once said that the world is big and there are many human races, but the world is big and chaotic, and the human races are numerous and diverse. In such a chaotic world, the human race cannot gain a firm foothold between heaven and earth. They need a net, a big net that can capture the world and everything!"
Fuxi's face flushed, his eyes revealing immense confidence. "The Holy Mother said that my net is the first of its kind for the human race and will be of great use. I believe so too! You once told me that the Hua clan is located in the Chengji wilderness, and that there are 160 human race members in the Chengji wilderness, and another 500 other races, large and small.
In the nine years that I have been learning the Dao from you, there have been 24 conflicts of varying sizes among the 160 tribes of the human race, and countless conflicts among the 500 tribes. The human race, the tribes, and the wilds of Chengji are in such a mess, it is not good. "
“So what?” Mingyu asked.
Fuxi replied, "I want to use this net to capture them all, unite them as one, and there will be no more fighting!"
Mingyu shook her head. "The Hua clan is just a small clan in Chengji Wilderness. Chengji Wilderness is just a remote place in the northwest wilderness, and the entire northwest wilderness is just a drop in the ocean. The three branches of the human race span two continents, and there are 3,000 large clans and 100,000 small clans. Chengji is not in conflict, but the human race is in conflict. Even if the human race is not in conflict, how can you take over the world?"
"If there is a dispute in Chengji, I will control Chengji; if there is a dispute among human beings, I will control human beings; if there is a dispute in the world, I will control the world!" Fuxi answered firmly.
"I will weave small nets one after another to capture a region, an area, or even an entire clan. One day, these small nets will converge into a big net that unites the world and encompasses all directions!"
Mingyu couldn't stop laughing when she heard this.
"Is this what you learned from a web?"
"Yes!"
Fuxi nodded and bowed to Mingyu: "What do you think, sir?"
"Great kindness!"
Mingyu was generous with her praise.
He didn't expect that Fuxi would understand his mission so early.
Fuxi smiled when he received the teacher's praise.
"Okay, now that you've told me about what you've gained, it's time to practice with me. What I'm going to teach you today is a secret scroll of martial arts..." Mingyu took out a scroll.
The smile on Fuxi's face froze for a moment.
"First... sir, today is Monday, you should rest."
"Rest? Who was the one who made the bold statement in front of me that he would conquer the world? With such a great mission ahead, how can you rest?" Mingyu narrowed his eyes and put a playful smile on the corners of his mouth.
"To celebrate your awakening to your great mission and your entry into the path of immortality, I have decided to revoke your right to rest on Sundays from now on."
Now that you have become immortals, you will have more energy to practice Taoism.
Fuxi knew he couldn't escape, so he could only smile wryly and follow his teacher to the martial arts arena.
It’s not that he doesn’t like practicing. Fuxi also has deep feelings for human martial arts.
but……
He doesn't want to be abused!
The gentleman never shows mercy when he strikes, and he really means it!
Even if he became an immortal, Fuxi didn't think he could bear it.
"I hope you can be gentler today..."
Fuxi observed a moment of silence for himself.
One day later.
The young man, with a pale face, fled away from Xishan.
Mingyu sat in the octagonal pavilion, looking at the disheveled figure from afar and shook her head slightly.
"Young people these days can't even handle it for a day!"
Turning around, he looked towards the ancestral land of the human race.
The young man named Qing Qian, relying on his powerful talent, chose to practice both immortal martial arts and now he has opened two doors. His progress is extremely rapid.
"Very good. It seems we need to find a chance for them to meet."
Mingyu whispered.
I personally sent the other person to keep the master company, but I can't let the two of them go on alone like this.
He made a hand gesture with his right hand, and a decree fell into Jinshan.
When Rong Chengzi saw this, he immediately fooled his disciples.
"Qian'er, you should keep moving forward in martial arts. Your master wants to take you to travel around the human race and fight with all the martial arts practitioners of the same level!"
"It's all up to the teacher!"
The twelve-year-old Qing Qian is well developed and has lost some of his childishness, with a heroic look between his brows.
He also wanted to see the human world.
So, an old man and a young man set out from their ancestral land and traveled through countless tribes, just hoping to defeat them!
However, Rong Chengzi did not take Qingqian all the way west, they took a detour.
"Let's go visit my good friends. Although their paths are different, we can learn from them."
