Chapter 369: Practicing the 9 Yang Heavenly Scripture
Although it is not possible to be completely detached from the world like the legendary immortals, this is already far beyond the capabilities of ordinary people.
As for sleep, an indispensable daily activity for ordinary people, cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm also have a unique way of dealing with it.
They can use meditation to replace sleep, and even the effects obtained during meditation are more significant than sleep.
This improvement in ability undoubtedly further highlights the difference between foundation-building cultivators and ordinary people.
The night passed in a flash, and Wu Ming slowly woke up from his trance.
He listened quietly to the melodious bird songs and gurgling water coming from outside the cave, as if he was in a fairyland isolated from the world, where everything was so peaceful and beautiful.
Greeting the first rays of sunshine in the morning, Wu Ming stepped out of the cave and strolled up the hill.
He looked around and finally stopped at a high, flat open space. A huge green rock appeared in his sight. The rock had a wide view and faced the sun, making it an ideal place for cultivation.
With a slight wave of his sleeve, a burst of force cleared away the debris on the boulder. Wu Ming decided to practice on this boulder.
Wu Ming stepped onto the boulder, crossed his legs, and let his hands hang naturally on his knees.
He closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and let his mind gradually calm down.
While waiting for the midday sun to arrive, Wu Ming began to think about the many difficulties he might encounter in the process of practicing the Nine Yang Heavenly Scripture.
Time passed minute by minute, and before we knew it, the sun was already hanging high in the center of the sky. This was the time of the day when the yang energy was at its strongest and the solar energy was the richest.
Wu Ming's heart moved, and the true energy in his body began to flow slowly along the Great Circulation like a ignited flame according to the specific operation method of the Nine Yang Heavenly Sutra.
As the true energy flowed, Wu Ming's body began to resonate with the surrounding heaven and earth energy.
He could clearly feel the vital energy of the surrounding heaven and earth pouring into his body like a clear spring, and the scorching sunlight above his head seemed to be attracted by something and was continuously absorbed into his body.
These two energies met in various parts of Wu Ming's body's tendons and veins. They intertwined and penetrated each other, the distance between them became closer and closer, and finally gradually merged together.
However, it is not an easy task to merge the true essence and the fire of the sun.
As soon as the true essence came into contact with the sun's fire, it was like fuel meeting sparks, instantly igniting a blazing flame.
This sudden burning sensation was like a hot torrent gushing out of Wu Ming's body and quickly sweeping across his entire body.
His tendons and veins began to twitch violently like hemp ropes roasted by fire.
This pain made his body feel as if it was being cut by millions of knives at the same time. The stinging sensation came like a tide, making it almost unbearable for him.
"Sure enough, this Nine Yang Heavenly Scripture is not that easy to get started!"
Wu Ming secretly groaned in his heart. However, he was not frightened by this sudden predicament because he had been prepared for it.
He quickly bit into pieces a Xuepo Pill that he had been holding in his mouth. This was a pill he had prepared the day before specifically for practicing the Nine Yang Heavenly Scripture, and it had an extremely cold property.
As the pill melted and entered his body, a biting chill flowed through his body like a clear spring.
This chill was like drinking a sip of ice water on a hot summer day, bringing a refreshing cool feeling that quickly suppressed the burning sensation.
Wu Ming's body gradually calmed down due to the nourishment of the cold air, and the painful tingling sensation just now slowly dissipated.
As the effects of the Xuepo Pill took effect, the sparks produced by the encounter between the true essence and the solar energy began to gradually dissipate.
After that, although the integration between the two was still slow, it finally began.
However, as long as there is a trend of fusion, it means that Wu Ming's cultivation direction has not deviated, and he is following the correct path of the technique.
As long as you keep going, you will definitely be able to master the Nine Yang Heavenly Scripture.
Over the years, Wu Ming has devoted himself to cultivation in the sect.
Through the wonderful sermons of the deacons, the heated discussions among the disciples, and the reading of the vast number of books in the Sutra Library, his horizons were greatly broadened.
He is no longer as ignorant and shallow as when he first entered the sect. He has a deep understanding and knowledge of all aspects of cultivation.
On the path of spiritual practice, the most taboo thing is to go astray. Once you take the wrong path, the consequences will be disastrous.
In mild cases, it may cause damage to the meridians, injury to the dantian, or even serious injury; in severe cases, it may cause the person to go crazy and eventually die.
Just when Wu Ming was secretly delighted, thinking that his practice was going smoothly and was about to succeed.
He was completely unaware that at the moment when the two merged, a faint feeling of heat followed his spiritual consciousness and invaded his sea of consciousness.
This feeling of heat was like an uninvited guest, quietly sneaking into the depths of his soul.
Then, his soul seemed to be under a spell and entered a wonderful state that was difficult to describe in words.
.......
"Grandson, I'm afraid I can't hold on any longer. I'm afraid I won't be able to stay by your side anymore."
The old man with white hair and haggard face lying on the sickbed was Wu Tianlong.
He used up his last bit of strength, tightly grasped the hand of the young man beside the bed, and spoke with difficulty.
His voice was weak and trembling, like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.
The young man's face was filled with grief, tears welling in his eyes. He stared at his grandfather's increasingly thin face, his heart aching. This plain-looking young man was Wu Ming.
"Grandpa, you must hold on! You haven't seen our Wu family prosper, you haven't seen me start a family and build a career, how can you leave me like this?"
Wu Ming burst into tears, his voice choked with sobs.
However, the old man's life force was gradually extinguished, his breathing was getting weaker and weaker, and every word he said seemed to be squeezed out with all his strength.
"Grandson, I know you're filial, but life and death are determined by fate, and I've reached the end of my life. From now on, you'll be alone in this world, so you must be strong."
Wu Tianlong's eyes gradually dimmed, but he still tried hard to finish his final instructions.
"I don't ask you to bring great glory to our Wu family. I just ask you to live a peaceful and happy life."
After saying the last sentence, the old man tilted his head slightly, slowly loosened his hands, and left this world.
"Grandpa! Grandpa! Please don't leave!"
