Chapter 53 Yin Zhao Tian Zhong, Vertical Pupil Mirror
He said everything he had to say.
Regardless of how pleased and sincere the Prefect Yu was, and how much he reciprocated;
Regardless of how respectful, eloquent, and righteous Jiang Yirong was,
After putting down her phone, Jiang Yirong's smile gradually faded.
She sat in the official car, looking in the direction of Baiyang Temple, a deep sense of awe still lingering in her eyes.
In fact, Jiang Yirong felt that her speech just now was not very good.
In official circles, speaking at this point is practically blatant.
But for Jiang Yirong, at this moment, such a clear and decisive statement and stance were necessary.
"After all... no matter what, we must never forget to unite with our veteran comrades."
Jiang Yirong gave a self-deprecating laugh, but the contents of the "Collection of Wonderful Mysteries from the Jade Garden" appeared in her mind.
Actually, she wasn't insisting on advocating for the elderly people in power.
If this cultivation method could be spread, then as the "main scripture" practitioner, she would be able to unite and gain even more power among the younger generation in the country!
But... just as Lin Yu said.
The essence of this exercise lies in "Gathering in the Forest Garden," which means to benefit all who see it and to create a forest garden, but it is not simply a dense forest.
Its core lies in the population, or rather, in the word "species"!
The saying goes, "A gentleman is sociable but not partisan, while a petty person is partisan but not sociable."
A group is characterized by a balance of density and openness.
Cultivating this technique is like growing your own tree, which then bears one seed after another.
Afterwards, the seeds that have been sown will be nurtured into secondary scriptures that can be practiced by others.
This is the essence of the "Collection of Wonderful Mysteries from the Jade Garden".
However, this "Collection of Wonderful Mysteries from the Jade Garden" has two limitations.
Firstly, although the seed upon which the secondary scripture relies can be cultivated even by ordinary people without spiritual essence... their cultivation level cannot be higher than that of the cultivator of the main scripture.
Secondly... there is a limit to the number of secondary scriptures that can be differentiated from each realm.
For example, she has only obtained the cultivation method and has not yet entered the embryonic breathing stage.
Only when one reaches the first level of embryonic breathing and condenses the first breath of true breath can a secondary seed be differentiated.
Upon reaching the second level of embryonic breathing, after the flow of true breath, three seeds can be differentiated.
Zhou Jing, nine seeds.
Only by entering the Harmony Realm and achieving mastery of embryonic breathing can eighty-one seeds be differentiated!
That is... eighty-one opportunities for cultivation.
Of course, this number cannot be described as small, but... it is not a large number either.
After mastering fetal breathing, the only way to further expand the number of secondary meridian seeds is to enter the Qi Refining stage.
Yes, according to the mental knowledge that Lin Yu included in the "Collection of Wonderful Mysteries from the Jade Garden" exercise method.
Given Jiang Yirong's current aptitude... it would take her at least several years to reach the Qi Refining stage.
The effort she has put in over the years, resulting in eighty-one seeds and eighty-one secondary scriptures that can be practiced by others, represents the limit of what she can differentiate.
Therefore... within a few years, these eighty-one seeds can only be used by the oldest and highest-ranking people who hold the reins of power in the country to enter the path of cultivation.
However... who can predict what changes will occur in the world a few years from now?
Moreover... once the spiritual atmosphere appears in the world, spiritual lands, spiritual resources, spiritual materials... these things will inevitably appear as well.
When the time comes, it may not take that long to enter the Qi Refining stage.
A faint glint appeared in Jiang Yirong's eyes, and some distracting thoughts quietly rose from the depths of her mind.
But it was only just risen before she pushed it down.
"It's too early to think about these things now."
Jiang Yirong shook her head and made another phone call.
"...Yang Qing, it's me."
"You should have memorized the location of Baiyang Temple by now."
"Next, you will meet them at the gate for me... After the two girls come out of the temple, greet them well and then take them to Jingzhou as far as possible."
"...I need to go to Jingzhou first."
At this point, Jiang Yirong recalled another miscellaneous consciousness that Lin Yu had attached to her mind, hesitated for a moment, and then continued:
"It's not just about what's mentioned above."
"Do you remember? That Taoist priest named Jiang Songjing who was a key target of our investigation before... He did indeed receive the inheritance of the Changqing Sect."
"...While these days are passing by, and people in Jingzhou treat Baiyang Temple and Sect Leader Lin with the utmost reverence, avoiding anything related to Baiyang Temple...I want to go to Jingzhou myself and meet with him!"
……
In Baiyang Temple.
After Jiang Yirong left, only Lin Yu and the two girls remained.
Xu Xiu and Shang Yin stood in the courtyard, and even when Jiang Yirong accepted the inheritance and left, they still dared not speak.
The majesty emanating from the middle-aged man was simply too lofty and distant.
Moreover, after entering the path of cultivation, they were able to feel Lin Yu's presence, which was like an abyss and also like the blue sky.
So when they stood in front of Lin Yu, they were like ancient sorcerers questioning the heavens, not daring to speak first, and could only wait for Lin Yu to speak.
However, Lin Yu didn't keep them waiting for long.
Right after Jiang Yirong left, he turned his attention to the two of them.
"Now they have cultivated the [Ganmu] and condensed their first breath of true energy."
"Have you all fully grasped the miscellaneous knowledge I left in the original cultivation technique?"
"yes--"
Xu Xiu had just opened her mouth when Shang Yin spoke first:
"Yes, Master! I have learned it!"
"...This cultivation method was passed down from the Evergreen Sect. It is a cultivation method of the Five Wood Elements, specifically the Sweet Wood Element. Our Evergreen Sect has mastered the Way of Wood in the world, so life and death, and all changes are contained within it. It can be described as vast and rigorous... Moreover, there is a grotto-heaven within the sect called the Yin Zhao Heaven—"
Shang Yin blinked her eyes. After stepping into the True Breath realm, her appearance became even more exquisite than before.
The moment you have a thought in your mind, a sense of allure arises spontaneously.
"Sect Master, may I have the honor of witnessing your skills?"
Although Lin Yu had previously said that the two girls had no secrets in her eyes, Shang Yin still pretended not to have heard this, as if she wanted to win Lin Yu's favor.
Lin Yu merely glanced at her and nodded, saying:
"Come with me, all of you."
Upon hearing this, Shang Yin beamed with joy, while Xu Xiu's eyes also revealed an expectant look.
The next second, a dark light flashed in Lin Yu's eyes, and his spiritual sense enveloped Xu Xiu and Shang Yin.
Although the two sensed something was amiss, they dared not resist. Following Lin Yu's spiritual guidance, they transformed their thoughts and arrived at the inner sanctum.
——【Yin Zhao Tian】!
At this moment, after Lin Yu stepped into the Qi Refining stage, the appearance of this inner world underwent a complete transformation.
The scene was more distant and vast than what Jiang Songjing had seen, yet it was also more obscure and difficult to understand.
The moment they stepped into the Yin Zhao Tian, what attracted the two girls' full attention was not the vast and desolate wood element energy around them, but an eye hanging above the cave.
That was a... vertical pupil that pierced the entire sky!
It seems to be embedded at the top of the cave, or as if the sky above the cave was transformed from that eye!
But compared to a normal eye, it is flat and smooth, merely a narrow, elongated arc.
Moreover, what is reflected in it is not a slightly undulating oval mirror image, but rather...
...pure and unadulterated, almost like a reflection in a mirror!
The moment their mental manifestations stepped into the [Yin Zhao Tian], the two of them saw themselves reflected in that "vertical pupil".
But... the two figures reflected in those mirror-like eyes were completely different from them now, and even from them in the past!
The two figures in the mirror were no longer young girls, but beautiful young women, each riding on golden and black light, holding opposite ends. One was as bright as the sun, and the other as deep as a black hole. This was undoubtedly the aura of their martial arts techniques.
But that phenomenon was far more powerful than theirs now. With just one glance, the golden and black light in the mirror seemed to tear through the void, pierce the entire sky, and spread all the way to the more distant universe!
Below their battle, on the upper level of the vertical mirror, one could vaguely see scenes of earthquakes and the collapse of rivers and seas.
Countless people were displaced and countless bodies lay strewn across the land!
Not only that... among those seas of blood-red corpses, there were two familiar faces that had completely lost their breath. The moment they came into view, Xu Xiu and Shang Yin almost froze!
Then, two exclamations escaped simultaneously, as if by unspoken agreement:
"Jiang Wanren...?!"
"...Su Xu!!!"
