Chapter 204 Obtained four techniques from Tianji Pavilion and returned with a full load!
【Heavenly Eye Method】
[Advanced: First Turn]
[Effects: The soul can communicate with the power of heaven and earth, can see ghosts and gods, and see through magic disguises. ]
"The soul is in the womb, and the mortal eyes prevent the soul from opening its eyes to see the world."
“But now, I have opened my third eye, which is equivalent to a weakened version of my spiritual awareness and divine thoughts.” Zhao Xing looked inward at his sea of consciousness.
The soul in the sea of consciousness is exactly the same as himself. The body is still relatively illusory, but the eyes are light golden and much more solid than the body parts.
The advanced level of the Sky Eye Technique will form a magical power - [Seeing from the sky and hearing from the earth].
This magical power is quite abnormal. It can monitor the enemy's every move from thousands of miles away.
However, the birth of supernatural powers will not appear until the era of spiritual energy revival.
The Heaven Eye Technique can now only be cultivated to the top level.
"Sixth-grade Tiangang, fifth-grade Chunyuan, fourth-grade Yuanpo, third-grade Yuanhun."
"As you grow stronger step by step to the third level, your soul will also become stronger. It will not be restricted by the flesh and can leave the body for a short period of time."
"But if you want to make your soul wander in the void, you need more support." Zhao Xing thought of the 'Blood Spirit Venerable' he had met in Gucheng.
Like the 'Blood Spirit Venerable', not only can his soul travel through the void, but he can also separate his life soul.
However, this method relies on the blood sacrifices of believers, and is preserved throughout the world based on the faith, blood, and souls of others.
The method of the Blood Spirit Master can go a long way, but the individual strength is relatively weak.
Back then in the abandoned workshop in Gucheng, a dark spirit like Donghu Bo was able to fight with it for a long time.
But for the Blood Spirit Master, losing a part of his soul was no big deal, as long as his main body was not hurt, just like a nail can grow back after being cut.
If the soul itself is injured, it will be more troublesome. Most of the treasures that can heal the soul are above the seventh level.
"When your soul reaches the third level, your soul can wander in the void. Only then will you be truly strong." Zhao Xing said secretly.
This Taixu refers to the vast space.
It is a dangerous thing for the soul to leave the body, but why do some people still like to do it?
Of course there are benefits.
"When I reach the third level of Yuanhun realm, I can let my soul travel to the underworld to find rare plants in the underworld and bring them back to plant myself."
"Almost all of the native species in the underworld are above level seven, such as the Soul Devouring Tree, the Bone Tree, the Hundred Ghost Vine... These are all powerful arms for fighting."
A strong soul brings many benefits.
The benefits of taking a miraculous item like the Soul-Life Pill are extraordinary.
If a seventh-grade warrior takes it, his control over his body will become extremely strong after his soul reaches the sixth grade. For example, he could use two swords instead of only one originally.
It is equivalent to improving the talent of a warrior!
If a swordsman like Long Xiao took the Soul Pill, he might be able to control an extra flying sword!
The enhancement of combat effectiveness is obvious!
For Zhao Xing, his soul reached the early sixth level, and his control over his vital energy and spells became stronger.
Immediately, two spells were broken through.
However, Zhao Xing felt that his biggest gain was not [High-level Sleepyhead] and [Heavenly Eye Technique].
It's the 'straw man method'.
Zhao Xing hasn't tried it yet, but he has a feeling that if he tries 'Four Methods in One' or 'Five Methods in One' now, it will definitely be easier than before.
The number of straw men that can be controlled at the same time will also increase.
"After taking the Soul Pill, maybe I can be like Old Liu and master the Straw Man of my Self very early and perform all kinds of magic."
Zhao Xing must learn how to be a straw man.
The 'Straw Man' performs all kinds of magic, which is equivalent to low-cost trial and error. Any dangerous spells or spells with side effects will be tried by the 'Straw Man' first.
In this way, even if you encounter any irreparable injuries, your main body will not be hurt.
The ego straw man is equivalent to a "human panel". You can constantly try and error to find the most correct direction.
Liu Tianning is so awesome, and there is a reason for that!
He has so many ego straw men in the Wanfa Palace, practicing spells almost all the time. It is hard to imagine Liu Tianning's true combat power.
When Zhao Xing was breaking into the self-examination platform, he was in an illusion formed by his subconscious mind. In the end, he sought help from "Liu Tianning" to get rid of the strong interference of the illusion.
This was actually because Zhao Xing thought of Liu Tianning and the scenes in Wanfa Palace. Only after he proved himself did he get rid of the illusion.
Otherwise, he would not be able to concentrate his thoughts and would not be able to focus on thinking at all, and would continue to be reincarnated in the illusion.
"I know eleven high-level techniques now, and Liu Tianning probably knows more than a hundred?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh. "He has already joined the Military Supervisory Department, which is a very high threshold."
When the last investigation team came out, Tan Taiming and Fan Zhaoli were both considered old men, having lived for at least three or four hundred years, but Liu Tianning was younger than all of them.
After taking the Soul-Life Pill, Zhao Xing became refreshed. After familiarizing himself with his physical condition, he entered the Dameng Academy again.
He remembered that there was still the Tianji Pavilion in the academy that he had not visited yet.
Just now, he was kicked out because he consumed too much energy in breaking through the platform of self-examination.
"Om~"
Entering again, Zhao Xing flew over the clouds and mist and came directly to a pavilion.
Tianji Pavilion is a tower-like structure. When Zhao Xing looked up, the pavilion reached straight into the sky and the top could not be seen at all.
All that can be seen are the first five floors of the Tianji Pavilion.
"This is a new building. There was no Tianji Pavilion in the Yunmeng Academy during the Emperor Wu period." Zhao Xing said in his heart.
Why did Emperor Wu remove the Tianji Pavilion? Zhao Xing could also guess the reason.
Because in the military world of the Great Zhou, there is a mysterious organization called the 'Tianji Palace'.
All the people kept there are appointed officials of the imperial court.
Taizu of the Great Zhou Dynasty severely cut down on the professions of fortune tellers, Yin-Yang masters, etc., but the royal family put it to use and every year they would select outstanding people from the royal family to enter the Tianji Palace.
The function of the Tianji Palace is to predict the future, to gain insight into the future destiny of the Great Zhou, to predict the direction of war, natural disasters, changes in the caves, and so on.
Its classic artifact is the [Creation Disk].
The Tianji Pavilion in the Daming Academy should be of similar nature to the Tianji Hall in the Great Zhou, which is why it was removed by Emperor Wu.
"The practices in different dynasties are different. It seems that Dali's Tianji Pavilion is not limited to the royal family." Zhao Xing took a deep breath and walked into the pavilion.
As I walked into the pavilion, an ancient voice whispered in my ears:
"The multiplication and division are used to explain the origin of creation, and the fortune-telling and divination are used to understand the changes in the universe."
Zhao Xing looked up and followed the sound, and found a little bird standing on the cupboard and singing.
It was holding a book in its mouth and shaking its head.
When Zhao Xing saw the bird's appearance clearly, he was shocked.
"Heavenly Destiny Bird?!"
"Is this a mechanical beast or is it real?"
The Tianming Black Bird has a long lifespan, possibly tens of thousands of years. Could it be a living bird?
Just as he was stunned, the Black Bird of Destiny opened the scroll and turned a page with its claws.
Then the fog in the entire first layer of space dissipated.
"Student Zhao Xing, I am the guardian of the black bird. You can freely browse the first five floors of the Tianji Pavilion. You can learn as much as you can. If you can't learn, you can't force it."
Zhao Xing was slightly stunned, and bowed to the Black Bird Guardian: "Excuse me, Guardian, do I not need to pass any test?"
Xuanniao glanced at Zhao Xing with his eyes slanted:
"The divination books, the fortune books, the physiognomy books, the hexagram books, the heavenly books, their scriptures are numerous and their meanings are endless. The threshold for learning them is the biggest test."
"So that's how it is." Zhao Xing suddenly realized and stopped asking questions. After paying homage to the guardian, he walked past the black bird and walked forward.
On the first floor, there were rows of large cabinets filled with books.
Each row of bookcases is forty to fifty meters high, as if you were walking into an ancient library.
"What a treasure house, what a treasure house." Zhao Xing said inwardly.
I picked up a glittering book at random - "Tai Xuan Jing".
After opening it, Zhao Xing felt drowsy in less than a few seconds and put it back to its place.
The book is as its title suggests, too mysterious and completely incomprehensible.
He picked up the next page of "Tai Xuan Zhen Jie·Wu Sheng Chapter" and this time he finally understood a little bit.
"Things have images when they are created, images have numbers when they are created, multiplication and division are used to explain and explore the source of creation... This is about using mathematics to calculate and deduce the principles of heaven and earth." Zhao Xing read it for a while and put it back. The Taixuan Sutra is just a general outline and there is no specific method.
Sutras are generally theories and ideas.
Spells are applications.
After taking a look, Zhao Xing knew that the Taixuan Sutra was not what he wanted. To learn its mysterious method, he had to understand ten thousand volumes of scriptures. This row of scriptures was all the contents of the Taixuan Sutra. Only then would he be able to learn its method in the end.
He didn't have to learn everything. Mr. Zhao's time was very precious now, so he had to use it wisely. Besides, it was easy to get stuck in this kind of metaphysics, so he just had to memorize a little bit and have a rough understanding of it.
When Zhao Xing came to the second row, he saw another book, "Huangji Jingshi Shu".
This is a book that explores the origin of the universe, natural changes, and social history.
"Observe the rise and fall of heaven and earth, calculate the waxing and waning of the sun and moon, examine the degrees of yin and yang, and observe the forms of hardness and softness. Therefore, we govern them with the origin, record them with the meeting, begin with the movement, and end with the world. Based on the way of heaven and tested by human affairs, we record everything about rise and fall, governance and chaos."
He was quite interested because it was a book that 'projected the past' and drew lessons from the past to govern the present and future.
For example, it mentions a passage: "In the year Jiachen in 2158 BC, a flood split the sky and the world was in chaos."
The period here is one hundred and twenty years.
This means that 258,960 years before the reign of Emperor Li, there was a devastating flood that almost split the sky apart, causing chaos in the world.
It also predicted, "In the year 3247 Kuichou, the westernmost sea ice will thaw and bring endless disasters."
The number is too large, and we have no idea whether the prediction is correct or not because it cannot be verified.
"The Arctic Ocean did thaw in later generations, but the timing doesn't match."
"There was a gap of about 50,000 years between Dali and Dazhou. It predicts that the polar ice sea will thaw in 389,000 years. This is pure nonsense."
"It will take another two thousand years for the spiritual energy to revive, and it won't take that long for the Arctic Ocean to thaw."
"What's more, it is sheer nonsense that the spiritual energy will be revived in three centuries in the first year of the Li Dynasty." Zhao Xing curled his lips and put the book back on the bookshelf.
This type of deduction has limited accuracy, and is extremely wrong when it comes to the era of recovery.
However, in the minds of the ancients, the era of spiritual energy was no different from a legend. Even if it was wrong, it was no big deal.
Dali was nothing more than a dynasty of fortune in the Yuanqi era, and had certain limitations in its method of deduction.
Zhao Xing continued to browse and soon found a useful book on the second floor.
The Great Derivations
"There are fifty great ways, and the heavens give rise to forty-nine. Man escapes from one of them, and the heavens and the earth determine his fate. The fate of each man is different."
When Zhao Xing saw the Dayan Sutra, he immediately smiled.
Finally a useful book has arrived.
The Dayan Sutra is an explanation of destiny. On this row of bookshelves, Zhao Xing found a book called "Dayan Wangqi Method".
"The Qi-reading method can reveal the destiny of living beings, not just humans."
"This secret method is much more practical."
You can see other people's fortunes. If you meet a lucky person, just stick to him and follow him to get benefits.
If you encounter that kind of unlucky person, you can avoid it.
"It also mentions methods to increase luck, one of which is to seize the spiritual beauty of heaven and earth to increase it."
"But it didn't say how to take away someone's luck. After all, Dali is a dynasty of luck. How could it teach such a method? This method can only be found in other sects."
The method of looking at qi is easy to learn because its basic threshold is the soul and the bright eye method.
It was only because Zhao Xing reached the threshold that he was able to come in.
The Qi-Watching Method is a high-level method. It has little attack power, but its auxiliary effect is very strong.
After Zhao Xing learned it, he continued to wander around the pavilion.
Zhao Xing was searching in the pavilion. He had seen many of the books before, but just as the Black Bird Guardian had said, he could not learn most of them.
Even if you can learn it, it depends on what era you are in. In the Zhou Dynasty, it is basically impossible to practice any tricks from the books of fate and physiognomy. It is not something that can be practiced at this time.
Zhao Xing had his eyes on some books that he wanted to learn, but his current level was not high enough and he would feel sleepy after reading them, such as Taixuan Sutra, Huangji Zhishi Shu, Zang Sutra, Liuyao Sutra, etc. He planned to study them again when his level was improved in the future.
The above scriptures are too profound. It would be useless to spend energy on them now, because as long as the Great Zhou Dynasty does not collapse, fortune-telling professions will have to stay in the sewer and will not be able to get up.
But there are three books that would be beneficial to learn now, and they can help you avoid Taizu's "Aspiration to Establish the Dao". Even if they are not [An Official in Charge], they can still play a certain role.
Zhao Xing selected three books that he could learn and determined to study them in depth.
One is the "Turtle Money Hexagram", which requires the help of external objects to be implemented.
First, the sea turtles and creatures in the sea are not subject to the control of Taizu’s ambition to establish the Tao, just like many exotic beasts are not included in the system of destiny dynasty.
The spirit turtle can bear the cost of fortune-telling and can also produce results.
The second is special coins, such as ancient purple gold coins and Hongyun coins. These are ancient coins handed down from the ancient divine court and have magical effects. Zhao Xing knows where to find them.
The second is the "Book of Divination".
This divination method is also related to the profession of Si Nong.
Because it can predict climate change in heaven and earth, such as where and how long it will take for a century-long or thousand-year-long climate change to occur.
The book of divination is divided into two parts, one is the book of divination on land, the other is the book of divination on sea.
After the war, Zhao Xing will definitely be transferred to the post of Wen Sinong.
Raise horses, plant crops and so on, they will definitely come in handy when the time comes.
The third is "Five Fingers of Destiny"
This is a fortune-telling method that does not require any external tools.
This is also known as "counting with one's fingers".
The Five Fingers of Destiny was a top-level secret technique and a spell that could be practiced in the Great Zhou Dynasty even if one was not an official in charge of destiny. It was the method of deducing destiny that Zhao Xing valued the most.
"Any method of predicting fate starts from predicting the changes in the universe."
"The Five Finger Heavenly Fate Method can circumvent Taizu's ambition to establish the Dao because it starts from the inner five elements of heaven and earth."
"I divine the inner world of the five elements of the human body. This is a layer of separation. Then I use the results of the inner five elements of the world to combine with the changes of the outer world. This method is the Five Fingers Destiny."
Including the Dayan Wangqi Method, Zhao Xing obtained a total of four very useful spells that could be practiced in the near future from the Tianji Pavilion.
He bowed to the Xuanniao Guardian and left the Tianji Pavilion with satisfaction.
Entering the Daming Academy, I gained a lot.
Zhao Xing was studying and practicing his newly acquired secret technique underground.
After a while, Zhao Xing suddenly opened his eyes and couldn't help but smile.
"My soul has reached the early sixth level, and I have gained new insights into the first chapter of The Great Dream Spring and Autumn engraved on my soul armor."
"Except for 'Soul Sensing Danger' and 'Sleepy Bug Spell', I can now practice in my dreams."
The first chapter is "Entering the Dream". If you can achieve "cultivation in dreams", you can be considered to have truly entered the door.
When your realm is elevated and your understanding becomes deeper, you will be able to achieve true 'dream walking'.
Make a person fall into a dream, then jump into the person's dream and kill him.
Just as Zhao Xing was practicing underground, Chen Shijie walked into the marching hall.
"Where is Zhao Xingren?"
Han Bing, who was standing guard outside, pointed to the ground and said, "He told me to go downstairs and rest."
Chen Shijie was stunned: "What's wrong with this? Sleeping underground."
Han Bing shook his head: "I don't know, maybe geniuses all have some quirks, and some people even like to sleep in coffins."
“……”Chen Shijie was speechless.
I really don't understand you young people.
"Are you sure it's this location?"
"Ah."
Chen Shijie walked to the ground where Zhao Xing had sunk and stomped his feet hard.
The vital energy flowed down through the ground, causing the ground veins to fluctuate and spread in all directions, conveying the message: "Zhao Xing, wake up, I have something to talk to you about."
There is one more chapter, it won't be too late. I also recommend a book to my friend, please go and have a look~
