At night, the sky was dotted with stars, and the starlight that sprinkled down decorated the residence's garden beautifully. Looking down from the sky, one would feel relaxed and happy.
He Yiming looked at the starry sky and slowly flipped open a strange book.
The book was different. It was not made of paper, but a special material that was similar to copper. The book felt cold to the touch, but after a long time, it felt warm as if it was going to integrate into one's body, which was very strange.
This was a gift from Xu Zili the Venerable One — a wind-mastery technique's secret manual.
Being a Venerable One, Xu Zili had naturally traveled the world before, and he obtained the peculiar secret manual by chance. The book described a wind-mastery technique that was beyond the 5 Elements. Unfortunately, it was of no use to Xu Zili, who was proficient in the Five Elements Cultivation Method.
When he met He Yiming this time, he knew that the Flower of Wind was one of the 3 flowers that the young fellow condensed, so he gave the secret manual to him.
Along the way, He Yiming had read the peculiar secret manual many times.
The secret manual's biggest feature was that there were no words on it, and it only depicted vivid pictures.
When Innate Powerhouses focused on the pictures, they seemed to be able to sense the enormous momentum of the wind and clouds in the pictures. Nonetheless, unless one was naturally gifted in the wind, one would not be able to comprehend it no matter how much one sensed it.
He Yiming treasured the peculiar book very much. Even though he had been traveling with Jin Zhanzheng along the way, he did not show it in front of him.
It was late at night, so it was a good time for him to cultivate.
He gently flipped to the first page of the book. It was a picture of a mountain and river, but what was shocking was that one would have different feelings when looking at it from different angles. He Yiming even had a peculiar thought. If he connected the results from different angles, the mountain and river picture would come to life.
Needless to say, it was only a thought. Not to mention that he had never studied the art of painting, even if he had been immersed in it since he was young, he could not have drawn the contents of the secret manual on a new piece of paper without any mistakes.
In actuality, what was depicted in the book was a conception, which could only be sensed but could not be expressed in other ways.
He Yiming took a deep breath and furrowed his eyebrows. When he was highly focused, he could clearly sense the power of the wind in the picture. He knew this was the effect of the Flower of Wind. It was also because he condensed the Flower of Wind that he could sense the meaning expressed in the picture.
However, what gave He Yiming a headache was that he felt that the power contained in the picture was not just the power of the wind.
In other words, the power of wind was just a decoration in this strange secret book. What was hidden inside was an even more enormous and unbelievable power.
He Yiming did not know that if Xu Zili knew about his thought, the old man would be shocked.
This secret manual had been in Xu Zili's hands for more than a hundred years, but he could only distinguish the power of the wind. Furthermore, he was unable to study it, so in the end, he gave it to He Yiming as a gift.
If he were to know that there was more than one type of energy in this treasure, he might not be willing to give it away so easily.
Ou Yangming looked at the picture in front of him quietly as if he was completely immersed in it and could not extricate himself.
After a long time, a thought flashed in He Yiming's mind.
It was a rather crazy thought, and even he did not know why it suddenly flashed in his mind.
After hesitating for a while, He Yiming finally reached out his hand, and a stream of essential Qi slowly condensed at his fingertips. Following that, he slowly channeled a stream of essential Qi into the secret manual.
It was an extremely daring attempt.
Things that could withstand the infusion of essential Qi were at least relics. Although the secret manual was rather peculiar, it would be too exaggerated to say that it was a relic.
Therefore, He Yiming was extremely cautious when he tried to channel his essential Qi into the book.
Slowly, He Yiming's face changed. He felt that although the secret manual was not made of ordinary paper, it could not withstand the support of essential Qi. Although the essential Qi that was channeled into the book was extremely minute, if he continued to do so or increased the amount of essential Qi, the secret manual would definitely explode on the spot.
He sighed softly and slowly withdrew the stream of essential Qi.
However, just as he was about to withdraw all of it, He Yiming was moved again. The look in his eyes flickered for a moment, then the essential Qi in his body circulated and slowly turned into a wind-like essential Qi.
Then, this stream of True Qi replaced the most ordinary and basic True Qi and entered the strange book.
In the next moment, He Yiming's eyes were filled with ecstasy.
He felt that once the wind-type essential Qi entered the secret manual, not only was it not rejected or unable to withstand the essential Qi, but it was also gradually attracted by the secret manual as if it was eager for it.
With regards to this sudden change, He Yiming immediately restrained his mind and controlled his True Qi within a limited range. With an even more cautious attitude, he channeled his True Qi into it.
He closed his eyes and quietly sensed everything in front of him.
When the wind-type secret manual had a magical resonance with the secret manual, he no longer needed to use his five senses. Instead, he used a power that he did not understand to communicate with the secret manual.
An unusual feeling surged in him. He seemed to have left the courtyard and arrived at an empty place.
The scenery around him was beautiful and open, but it gave him an extremely familiar feeling as if he had seen it somewhere before.
Slowly, He Yiming's face changed. In his memory, he had already remembered. The scenery around him should be the scenery in the first landscape painting in the secret manual.
However, the only difference was that he used to be outside the painting and looked at it from a different angle.
But now, he had personally entered it and sensed the changes inside the Panorama of Clarity.
This was definitely an extremely rare thing. Even with He Yiming's current knowledge and experience, it was definitely his first time encountering something like this.
Before this, he would never have thought that such a magical thing could happen in this world.
However, after trying it out just now, He Yiming also understood. Why could he not study anything from this book even though it had been in Xu Zili's hands for more than a hundred years?
That was because in order to truly see through the mystery, one had to personally participate in it.
However, this secret manual was quite repulsive to the five-element essential Qi. If too much essential Qi was channeled into it, the secret manual would definitely explode. Only by channeling wind-type essential Qi could one feel the greatest mystery of this secret manual.
Suddenly, the scenery in front of him began to slowly change.
He Yiming carefully looked around. His mind was also highly concentrated and completely relaxed, quietly observing everything around him.
In this strange space that seemed to be real, fog and a large number of clouds suddenly emerged.
The clouds in the sky seemed to have suddenly expanded and surged from top to bottom. Not only that, but endless fog also appeared around He Yiming at the same time.
In just the blink of an eye, the sudden appearance of the clouds and mist completely spread out and filled every space nearby.
He Yiming watched all this with his mouth agape. His heart seemed to be filled with clouds and fog, and similarly, he could no longer contain anything else.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew from an unknown place far away.
It was light and gentle, but firm and full of power.
The originally chaotic clouds and fog seemed to be affected by the wind, and began to blend and mix with each other.
The vast sea of clouds changed rapidly. At one time, it was like Chang 'e waving a white silk and dancing lightly; at another time, it was like a surging sea rolling in from the sky.
In just a moment, everything in front of him changed again. Even He Yiming could not tell whether it was clouds or fog around him.
At this moment, he seemed to recall the clouds and fog that surrounded the northwest peak and never dispersed all year long.
Vaguely, he felt the similarities between the two. Whether it was the clouds and fog in the secret manual or the clouds and fog in reality, they were actually the same.
He Yiming finally fell silent. After experiencing this mysterious and magical state, his heart was completely immersed in it.
At this point, he finally understood that his previous feeling was not wrong. The secret manual recorded not only the power of the wind.
In other words, the power of the wind was just a cover and decoration here.
In this secret manual, the power of the clouds and fog was really powerful.
Especially after experiencing it personally, He Yiming had a new understanding of the two illusory powers.
Before he advanced to One-Line-Heaven, he had already grasped the power of wind, rain, clouds, and fog.
However, the powers that he grasped at that time were extremely superficial. So far, among the four powers, apart from the power of the wind, which he had successfully condensed into the Wind Flower, his understanding of the other three powers remained stagnant.
However, it was different today. After experiencing the power of the clouds and fog in the secret manual, he suddenly had a completely different understanding of the two powers.
This understanding could not be described with words. Just like the things drawn in the secret manual, they could only be understood and could not be described.
Slowly, Ou Yangming's mental conception withdrew from the secret manual and slowly returned to his body.
The moment he opened his eyes again, his heart was filled with a strong urge to shout to the sky.
He reached out a hand, and when he spread it out flat, a strange change suddenly occurred. (To be continued, if you want to know what happens next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters, support the author, support the original reading!)
