195: Exchange for the Six Gods Secret! Fellow practitioners point to the mysterious sky phenomenon! (
Chapter 194: Exchanging for the Six Gods Art! Dual Cultivation of Zhi Xuan and Heavenly Elephant! (13)
“Sit on the bed, cross your legs, and regulate your breathing.”
Hearing Li Chang'an's command, Qingniao suddenly looked up, her starry eyes filled with confusion.
Seeing that Li Chang'an didn't seem to be joking, Qingniao complied.
After she sat down cross-legged, Li Chang'an's palms pressed against her back.
Qingniao trembled all over, and her body began to sweat slightly.
Li Chang'an nodded in satisfaction. No wonder in TV dramas, when treating beautiful women's injuries, they always had to take off their clothes.
It turns out there was a basis for it!
After a long while, Qingniao discovered an abnormal Qi in her body.
Li Chang'an's Esoteric Buddhism Internal Energy entered her body, rampaging through Qingniao's meridians.
After an hour of torment, that Qi finally completely dissipated.
“Your Highness, the power just now was...”
Li Chang'an wrapped his arm around Qingniao's fair shoulder, pulling her into his embrace.
“That was the Karmic Obstruction of Precepts, one of the Six Perfections of Esoteric Buddhism, used to prevent female devotees from losing their virginity.”
“If we didn't disperse the Karmic Obstruction, the good fortune between this Prince and Qingniao tonight would turn into a funeral.”
This kind of Karmic Obstruction was deadly, causing both men and women to explode and die.
Qingniao, who was originally shy, immediately sat up in alarm!
“Your Highness! Qingniao had no idea!”
Li Chang'an said, “How could a foolish woman like you keep such a secret?”
“This is probably Li Yishan's scheme. Only he and the person who cast the Karmic Obstruction know about it.”
Qingniao was not sent to be Xu Fengnian's deathsworn, but rather to assassinate Li Chang'an.
Previously, when Li Chang'an removed Xu Weibear's Karmic Obstruction, Li Yishan only considered it a coincidence.
No matter how unfathomable Li Yishan was, he couldn't have guessed that Li Chang'an was actually an Esoteric Buddhism master.
Although Reverend Longshou's methods were clever, to Li Chang'an, who had cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to the twelfth level, it was like showing off in front of an expert.
Qingniao murmured, “Esoteric Buddhism... Red Sect, it's Reverend Longshou! Similar to Young Miss Xu's Karmic Obstruction of Endurance!”
Li Chang'an nodded and said, “It's him indeed. Their Red Sect is most skilled in Dual Cultivation.”
“Li Yishan intends to use your innocence to unleash this deadly Move against this Prince.”
“When you and this Prince are deeply in love, both of you will perish together.”
Qingniao exclaimed, “Your Highness's Esoteric Buddhism Cultivation is even more profound than White-Robed Guanyin's!”
White-Robed Guanyin was an Esoteric Buddhism Grandmaster of the Red Sect, fully named Great Merciful Dharma King, Bodhisattva in Waiting, and so on.
She was exquisitely beautiful, often wore white clothes, and called herself Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Therefore, the Western Regions referred to her as White-Robed Guanyin.
In reality, she was merely the Sect Master of a Buddhist School.
From the moment Li Chang'an first saw Qingniao, he noticed the anomaly.
That night, Qingniao's mind was in turmoil, and she had narrowly escaped death once.
She felt Li Chang'an's hand on her body begin to slowly Move.
A strange sensation began to spread throughout her body.
However, the reserved Qingniao was still immersed in the events that had just transpired.
Her captivating, watery eyes were filled with shyness and apology.
“Your Highness, you must believe Qingniao.”
“Qingniao did not intend to harm Your Highness!”
...“Qingniao, your marksmanship is indeed exquisite.”
...“Your Highness, your subordinate... this concubine wishes to ask Your Highness for one thing.”
“Can we not let Young Miss Xu and Hong Shu know about our matter for now?”
Li Chang'an knew Qingniao was embarrassed; she was usually so aloof, yet she still couldn't escape the Prince's clutches.
Li Chang'an deliberately remained silent, prompting Qingniao to act coquettishly.
“Your Highness... Your Highness... is that alright?”
Li Chang'an said seriously, “Is it alright?”
“That depends on whether Qingniao is well-behaved!”
Qingniao said with a blush, “Qingniao will definitely be very well-behaved.
Whatever Hong Shu can do, Qingniao can do too.”
“And... I will definitely do it better than her!”
Not telling Xu Weibear and Hong Shu was fine.
This way, being with Qingniao would also have the joy of a secret affair.
A few days later, Li Chang'an received a message from the Brocade-Clad Guards in Qing Province, stating that Jiang Si had been settled.
Because Jin City was full of Fushui Bureau spies, they couldn't let them discover that Jiang Si had escaped to Yong Province.
Therefore, Li Chang'an had ordered the Eight Exquisites to settle Jiang Si in Qing Province.
Qing Province was a necessary route for Li Chang'an to travel to Sha Province...
While striving to reach the thirteenth level of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, Li Chang'an discovered a miraculous Cultivation Technique in the Myriad Realms Mall.
This Cultivation Technique could only be Cultivated after reaching the Peak of the Vajra Realm, meaning having a profound foundation in Esoteric Buddhism Cultivation Technique and an exceptionally strong physique.
The Buddhist Divine Skill, “Six Gods Art,” itself was incredibly powerful.
It was a supreme ancient Martial Skill, encompassing the most top-tier Martial Skill Moves of the six Buddhist deities.
The six Moves were Vajra Unbinding, Thunder God Swiftness, Arhat Disassembly, Bodhisattva Extinction, Guanyin Chaos, and Rulai Break!
Vajra Unbinding was majestic and domineering, its force like a rapidly drilling cone, capable of splitting a Vajra body.
Thunder God Swiftness was as fast as thunder and swift as lightning, a top-tier movement technique at the First-Grade stage.
Arhat Disassembly was tough and gentle, deflecting a thousand pounds with four ounces, completely neutralizing enemy attacks.
Bodhisattva Extinction could release fierce, scorching fiery Qi, melting metal and iron, burning all things.
Guanyin Chaos was a swift and chaotic swirling Move, unleashing hundreds of strikes in an instant, making it impossible to guard against.
Rulai Break, on the other hand, was the strongest ultimate technique of the Six Gods Art, condensing unparalleled Internal Energy into astonishing power, combining both rigidity and flexibility!
However, the power of the “Six Gods Art” itself was only one aspect.
In this world's Cultivation system, this Cultivation Technique had another powerful function.
Ordinary Jianghu Martial Artists, after entering First-Grade, Cultivated Vajra, Zhi Xuan, and Heavenly Elephant in sequence.
But by Cultivating the “Six Gods Art,” one could Cultivate all three Realms simultaneously, advancing side by side!
This method of Cultivation could truly be described as unprecedented.
In fact, the Cultivation Realms in the Snowy World did not necessarily have to be progressive.
For example, Hong Shu was a pseudo-Vajra, pseudo-Zhi Xuan.
And Li Chang'an could simultaneously be in the Vajra Realm, Zhi Xuan Realm, and Celestial Phenomenon Realm!
All Martial Artists in the world followed the same progression path before entering the First-Grade Great Grandmaster Realm.
But after entering the First-Grade Great Grandmaster Realm, differences emerged.
This divergence was related to the Luck of this world.
The three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism each had their own Luck, and their Cultivation paths were completely different.
The Cultivation path for First-Grade Buddhists was Vajra, Great Vajra, and Terrestrial Deity.
The Cultivation path for First-Grade Daoists was Zhi Xuan, Great Zhi Xuan, and Terrestrial Deity.
The Cultivation path for First-Grade Confucians was Heavenly Elephant, Great Heavenly Elephant, and Terrestrial Deity.
For Jianghu Martial Artists outside the three religions, the First-Grade Cultivation path was Vajra, Zhi Xuan, Heavenly Elephant, and Terrestrial Deity!
Among Jianghu Martial Artists, very few Cultivated to the Great Vajra, Great Zhi Xuan, or Great Heavenly Elephant Realms.
Because after reaching the Peak of the Vajra Realm, one could Cultivate Zhi Xuan secret arts, and after reaching the Peak of Zhi Xuan, one could Cultivate Heavenly Elephant perception.
Once all three Realms reached their Peak, one could advance to the Terrestrial Deity Realm.
Of course, this was the Cultivation path for ordinary Jianghu Martial Artists.
Li Chang'an, having obtained the “Six Gods Art,” could embark on another Cultivation path.
This path differed from the ordinary path in two places.
The first difference was that one could Cultivate all three Realms simultaneously.
By Cultivating Guanyin Chaos from the Six Gods Art and comprehending Zhi Xuan Divine Ability, one could enter the Zhi Xuan Realm!
By Cultivating Bodhisattva Extinction from the Six Gods Art and triggering the earth fire phenomenon, one could enter the Celestial Phenomenon Realm!
The second difference was that all three Realms could be Cultivated to the Great Realm.
A Martial Artist in the Great Vajra Realm is unharmed below the Terrestrial Deity!
A Martial Artist in the Great Zhi Xuan Realm is invincible below the Terrestrial Deity!
A Martial Artist in the Great Heavenly Elephant Realm can slay a Terrestrial Deity!
Cultivating according to this path allows one to reach the strongest level in each Realm!
Eventually Cultivating to the Terrestrial Deity, one would be among the strongest Terrestrial Deities!
For Li Chang'an, after the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, Six Gods Art, and Prajna Heart Bell all reached Great Perfection, he would be able to enter the Martial Artist Great Vajra Realm!
By then, Martial Artists below the Terrestrial Deity would be unable to breach his defenses!
Even a Martial Artist in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm would be unable to break Li Chang'an's defense!
This Divine Skill was so miraculous that it could greatly increase Li Chang'an's advancement speed.
Therefore, Li Chang'an did not hesitate to spend all his remaining points to exchange for this Cultivation Technique.
[Consumed 6000 Mortal World Points, exchanged for “Six Gods Art”!]
After exchanging for the Six Gods Art, Li Chang'an made Cultivation his top priority.
This was also why he summoned Zhuge Liang, as it could save him a significant amount of Cultivation time.
Because in the Snowy World, military power and personal Cultivation were equally important, to ultimately seize the Luck of the three religions (Confucianism, Buddhism, Daoism), one must possess Cultivation beyond that of a Terrestrial Deity.
First-Grade has four Realms: Vajra, Zhi Xuan, Heavenly Elephant, and Terrestrial Deity.
Above First-Grade, there are also the Celestial and Celestial Longevity Realms!
Because Huang Longshi scattered a large amount of Luck into the Jianghu, in the coming years, many Terrestrial Deities would emerge in the Jianghu.
And the top few martial powerhouses in this world, such as Wang Xianzhi, the Li Yang Dynasty eunuch, Gao Shulu, Zhang Fufeng, and Tuoba Pusa, could all reach the Celestial Realm.
While building up his power and recruiting soldiers, Li Chang'an never relaxed his Martial Dao Cultivation.
The Six Gods Art was a Buddhist Martial Skill; the deeper one's attainment in Buddhist Cultivation Techniques, the easier it was to Cultivate.
Li Chang'an had already Cultivated the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill to the twelfth level, and the Prajna Heart Bell had also reached Perfection, so Cultivating the Six Gods Art naturally yielded twice the result with half the effort.
Therefore, after only half a year, Li Chang'an had already achieved Minor Achievement in the Six Gods Art.
Although during these six months, the imperial court repeatedly issued edicts urging Li Chang'an to take up his fief, Li Chang'an remained unmoved.
It wasn't until the Six Gods Art reached Minor Achievement that Li Chang'an simultaneously stepped into the Zhi Xuan and Celestial Phenomenon Realms!
This unprecedented and peculiar Realm also elevated Li Chang'an's martial power ranking to the top thirty!
World: Journey in the Snow
Age: 19 years old
Realm: Martial Artist First-Grade (Vajra Realm Peak, Zhi Xuan Realm Early Stage, Celestial Phenomenon Realm Early Stage)
Cultivation Technique: Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill (Twelfth Level)
Martial Skill: Dragon Grasping Skill (Perfection), Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms (Perfection), Crossing the River on a Reed (Perfection), Prajna Heart Bell (Perfection), Six Gods Art (Minor Achievement)
Innate Wisdom: Clairvoyant Eyes, Photographic Memory, Myriad Realms Warlord
Abilities: (Expand)
Mortal World Points: None (Accumulated 200,000 points)
Ranking: Power 28, Wealth 40, Martial Power 25, Romantic 85, Literary 230
Due to Zhuge Liang's presence, Li Chang'an had greater control over the power in his hands.
Therefore, Li Chang'an's power and military strength did not increase, but his power ranking also rose to the top thirty!
At the same time, due to Qingniao's devotion, Li Chang'an's romantic ranking also increased significantly.
With all rankings on the rise, it was time to depart for his fief.
After the Li Yang Dynasty urged him for another half a year, Li Chang'an finally set off.
Li Chang'an led his troops and laborers, a vast and mighty procession, out of Jin City.
The Xuanjia Army, Modao Soldiers, and Bai Er Soldiers totaled seven thousand elite troops!
Their armor was gleaming, and their swords and spears glinted!
In addition, there were over a thousand laborers transporting provisions.
Governor Tian Zong, with tears and snot, along with the people of Jin City, bid farewell to Li Chang'an.
From Yong Province to Sha Province, the nearest route was naturally through the three Northern Liang Provinces.
The three Northern Liang Provinces were absolutely off-limits to Li Chang'an.
If he went through Northern Liang, Xu Xiao would definitely find various ways to make things difficult, which would be vexing.
Therefore, Li Chang'an took the route through Qing Province and Western Shu Province.
Passing through Qing Province, two individuals were very important.
The first person was naturally Pei Nanwei, the bed-armored beauty.
She would later be ranked fifth on the Rouge List. According to intelligence from the Brocade-Clad Guards, she was not yet Prince Jing'an's consort.
Given this, Li Chang'an didn't mind directly intercepting her.
After all, Pei Nanwei was not happy with Prince Jing'an.
The other person was the great strategist Lu Xu.
This blind strategist, Lu Xu, was one of the top strategists in the world after Li Yishan.
Such a strategist, skilled in schemes, and the upright Marquis Wu Zhuge, could perfectly complement each other.
A month later, Li Chang'an led his troops into Qing Province.
Over the past six months, Zhuge Liang and Gu Dazu had enjoyed their conversations, as both shared a strong obsession with restoring their respective nations.
Gu Dazu even had a fit of martial arts fanaticism and wanted to teach Zhuge Liang how to Cultivate martial arts.
“Military Advisor, with your talent, if you Cultivate Confucian Cultivation Techniques diligently, you will definitely be stronger than Cao Changqing!”
Cao Changqing was a Western Chu remnant, specializing in Confucian Dao, known for monopolizing eight measures of the Heavenly Elephant's charm.
In the Battle of Xi Leibi, he directly entered the Great Heavenly Elephant Realm, earning the title of Confucian Sage!
Zhuge Liang calmly fanned himself with his feather fan, “Cultivating martial arts, how can it be as interesting as reading?”
He often read various books from this world with great delight.
Gu Dazu lamented, “Alas... what a pity. You can't reach the Celestial Phenomenon Realm just by reading!”
“If you Cultivated to the Confucian Great Heavenly Elephant Realm, you could claim half of the Celestial Phenomenon's eight measures of charm!”
Qing Province, by Spring God Lake.
According to Li Yang Dynasty law, armies could not Move freely and could only be stationed near official roads.
In the evening, Li Chang'an got out of his carriage and had Qingniao follow him for a stroll by the lake.
From inside the carriage, Xu Weibear looked at Qingniao's retreating figure with a half-smile.
“Sister Hong Shu, His Highness has been taking Qingniao out alone frequently lately.”
Hong Shu puffed out her firm, high chest and tossed her alluring dark hair.
“Sister Weixiong, His Highness eats too much meat; occasionally, he also wants to eat some vegetables!”
“Qingniao clearly has feelings, but she just won't take the initiative; it's infuriating!”
Xu Weibear chuckled, “It's hard not to fall for a remarkable man like His Highness after spending time with him.”
Hong Shu giggled, “Is that so? It seems someone was taken down after only a few days!”
Xu Weibear stammered for a long time, then finally confessed, “This young lady is willing!”
