The reason why Li Mu studied the Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method and the Seventy-two Changes of Earth Evil was that the new TV series Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West were popular at the same time. After a few glances, the old faker pretentiously said that the TV series were not based on reality at all. Li Mu despised the pretentious old faker at that time. A myth and legend should be based on reality, but now it seemed … Well, it was very embarrassing.
There really was the Spiritual Fangcun Mountain, the Cave of Slanting Moon and Three Stars, and the Somersault Cloud, 99% of Ancestor Puti, and the Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method … Could it be that the old faker was not bluffing about this matter, but really knew something?
"When I return to Earth, I must kneel down and ask the old faker for advice."
Li Mu thought to himself. He couldn't wait to take the jade slip of the Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method and unfold it. After skimming through it, an inexplicable feeling rose in his heart. There were a lot of Taoist terms and the profound meaning of the Great Way in it. Li Mu couldn't quite understand it, but he still felt it was very powerful and didn't seem to be a fraud.
In fact, the description of the Eight Nine Mysteries in The Investiture of Gods was much more detailed than in The Journey to the West, mainly because the protagonist of The Journey to the West was Monkey Sun, and Erlang Deity Yang Jian, who practiced the Eight Nine Mysteries, was just a supporting male character. In The Investiture of Gods, Yang Jian was the first general of Qi, and Jiang Ziya commented that Yang Jian was the best general of Qi, and Jiang Ziya said that Yang Jian was "the most meritorious, the most intelligent and brave". In the war against King Wu of Zhou, Yang Jian defeated countless strong enemies with the Eight Nine Mysteries. He was dazzling, scattered beans to form soldiers, and resisted flying stones with his body … Among them, the Eight Nine Mysteries could be said to be invincible, and Yang Jian was almost invincible because of it. The only time he was captured by the Three Sky Goddesses with the Golden Dipper of Primordial Chaos and put into the Milky Way Formation was the Milky Way.
In Li Mu's view, the Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method was far better than the Seventy-two Changes of Earth Evil.
In The Investiture of the Gods, the Ultimate Yin and Yang Cultivation Method was the most powerful Cultivation Method of the Chan Sect. Unfortunately, the disciples of the Chan Sect later betrayed the sect and joined the Western Sect, so this Cultivation Method also flowed into the Western Sect. Later, the Western Sect changed to Buddhism.
Li Mu didn't expect that there was such a Cultivation Method in the world and that he got it.
This was a truly great opportunity.
He tried to put the jade scroll of the Eight Nine Mysteries into it, but to his surprise, he couldn't.
"Eh? Could it be that the jade slip itself is also a treasure? "
Li Mu stared at the jade slip that was glowing with precious light. Suddenly, as if he had an idea, he cut his fingertip and dripped a drop of blood on it. Then, with a flash of light in his hand, the jade slip disappeared and reappeared in the Mud-pill Palace in Li Mu's head. It bobbed up and down in his spirit sea, emitting thousands of rays of jade-colored light. Vaguely, there was Taoist Sound flowing, as if a supreme figure was explaining the mystery of the Great Way in Li Mu's Mud-pill Palace. It was extremely magical.
He was very surprised to feel for a while, but nothing strange happened, so Li Mu gradually relaxed.
However, did this mean that the jade slip of the Eight Nine Mysteries had recognized him as its master?
Li Mu was not sure.
His gaze fell on another jade scroll in the hands of the statue in front of him.
It was the Five Emperors' Immortality Scriptures.
Although he had never heard of the name "Five Emperors' Immortality Scriptures", there was no doubt that the fact that this statue, which he suspected to be Patriarch Puti, was holding it in both hands indicated that the scriptures were as valuable as the Ultimate Yin and Yang Mysteries of the Clan of Enlightenment.
Li Mu grinned so widely that the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.
He took the Five Emperors' Immortality Scriptures and almost jumped up in excitement when he read it.
It turned out to be a scripture about the Great Way of cultivating the five internal organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lung, and kidney.
The five emperors in the Five Emperors' Immortality Scriptures were not the five emperors of the ancient Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of China. Instead, they referred to the Red Emperor in the south, the Green Emperor in the east, the Yellow Emperor in the center, the White Emperor in the west, and the Mo Emperor in the north. They corresponded to the power of fire, wood, earth, metal, and water of the five elements of the five elements, which perfectly corresponded to the five internal organs of the human body.
Once the five internal organs were cultivated, one could live forever.
One of the Eight Nine Mysteries was to refine the body, while the other one was to refine the internal organs.
When the two scriptures were combined, one could cultivate both the internal and external organs.
It was a bit like the Xiantian Skill and the Zhenwu Boxing.
After reading it, Li Mu dropped a drop of blood on the jade scroll of the Five Emperors' Immortality Scriptures. With a flash of light, the scripture disappeared from his hand and reappeared in Li Mu's Mud-pill Palace and his Sea of Spirit, where it burst out thousands of beams of light like a blazing sun. At the same time, the faint sound of the Great Way was echoing, as if a supreme master was preaching the scriptures, which made people feel refreshed.
When Li Mu concentrated his spiritual force, he could open the jade scroll.
The huge jade scroll unfolded in his Sea of Spirit like a scroll that covered the sky. The ancient seal characters on it were shining brightly, which was extremely clear.
Li Mu withdrew his spiritual force from his Sea of Spirit and looked around the entire stone chamber.
Except for the three dust-proof luminous pearls inlaid on the ceiling, there were no other treasures.
Then, Li Mu's eyes fell on the white jade statue that he suspected to be Master Puti.
"This statue is a bit weird. I just kowtowed a few times, and it took out two earth-shattering Cultivation Methods. If I kowtow a few more times, won't it be …"
Devil Li knelt down shamelessly and kowtowed a few more times in a row. And his kowtows were so loud that the stone slabs on the floor were almost broken.
However, when he looked up again, the white jade statue was still in the same posture as before. There was no change at all.
"Alas, it seems that there are no other Cultivation Methods except the Eight Nine Mysteries and the Five Emperors' Immortality Scriptures."
Li Mu stood up in disappointment.
Unwilling to give up, he turned around again, but in the end, he did not choose to put this stone statue into his Storage Ring.
Li Mu's mouth was crooked with a smile and he went back to the stone hall outside.
That was probably all the things in the entire stone chamber with three rooms and one living room.
The harvest was huge.
Li Mu cheerfully looked out of the room.
At that time, the golden ape was still sitting at the door of the stone chamber with a look of despair. The treasure it had guarded for so many years was snatched away by the devil. It was utterly disheartened. Just now, it had rushed out several times without any regard for its own safety, only to be bounced back by the lightning restriction in the corridor. It wanted to cry but had no tears. When it saw Li Mu appear in the stone hall again, it roared angrily and anxiously, thumping its chest and stamping its feet.
Li Mu burst into laughter.
"Serves you right.
"That's what you get for playing dirty."
After thinking for a while, Li Mu felt that he was satisfied with such an opportunity. There was no need for him to search other places in the Everlasting Heaven. Besides, the lightning restriction in the stone chamber was so powerful that he would probably be electrocuted again if he went out. So, he might as well stay in the stone chamber and practice Cultivation Methods slowly. When the time came, he would be automatically sent out of the Everlasting Heaven.
Therefore, he simply sat down on the rush cushion in the stone hall, closed his eyes, and began to meditate.
This time, Li Mu chose to practice the Five Emperors' Immortality Scriptures.
The natural qi in his body was almost out of control. He had tried to suppress it before because he did not have a better Celestial Being Cultivation Method, so he hesitated. Now, the Five Emperors' Immortality Scriptures was exactly the Taoist scripture to cultivate the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys. Although it was not a Celestial Being Cultivation Method in the sense of that world, its effect was definitely better than any Celestial Being Cultivation Method. Even the Celestial Being Cultivation Method of the top nine Holy Clans might not be as good as it.
He sank his spirit into his Sea of Consciousness and began to flip through the Five Emperors' Immortality Scriptures.
The huge jade slip released thousands of beams of light and slowly unfolded.
"The heart contains the spirit. The acquired is the consciousness, and the innate is the ritual. If you are empty of sorrow, you will be calm. The fire of the Southern Red Emperor …" The Taoist voice slowly rang. It was the content of the Five Emperors' Immortality Scriptures, which rang in the Mud-pill Palace and his Sea of Consciousness like a loudspeaker.
Li Mu was completely immersed in it.
In the Five Emperors' Immortality Scriptures, the first target to cultivate the five internal organs was the heart.
According to the theoretical system of the Celestial Being Realm on the Divine Land, the central qi of the five internal organs was the most difficult to cultivate, and it was also the qi that took the longest time to cultivate. Therefore, many martial arts experts put the heart cultivation last. When the other four internal organs of the liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were cultivated, their strength was adjusted to the best state, and they mastered the power of the fourth step of the Celestial Being Realm, they would slowly cultivate the qi of the heart.
However, the Five Emperors' Immortality Scriptures did the opposite.
The heart was the master of the five internal organs. When the heart qi was cultivated, one could master the power of the Way of Heaven, and then cultivate the other four qi. That way, one could return to the original state and cultivate qi with the Way. That way, one could vividly display the profound meaning that one could not understand in the ordinary cultivation process.
Li Mu believed that this method was obviously more scientific than the mainstream way of cultivating the Celestial Being Realm on the Divine Land.
Therefore, without hesitation, he began to cultivate according to the profound meaning of the Five Emperors' Immortality Scriptures.
The first part was called the Heart Sutra of the Fire Emperor.
Li Mu was immersed in the sound of the sutra. He was full of energy and completely immersed in the state.
He visualized all the natural qi in his body and turned it into the power of fire. Then, according to the route recorded in the Heart Sutra of the Fire Emperor, the natural qi flowed in his body. After passing through the eight extraordinary meridians, it slowly flowed toward his heart …
Li Mu's entire body turned scarlet.
His skin, flesh, and bones gradually became transparent. Only his heart, the scarlet color of his heart, was clearly visible. It was beating slowly with a strange rhythm. Every time it beat, some natural qi of fire would be infused into his heart and then discharged, as if it was receiving blood and then supplying blood.
The fire power discharged by his heart flowed along his blood vessels to every part of his body.
The process was very slow.
Time flew by.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Li Mu had been in closed-door cultivation the whole time. He never opened his eyes.
His entire body was almost completely transparent, with only a faint outline of his body. Only his heart and blood vessels — whether it was the major meridians, arteries, or tiny capillaries, they were all clearly visible. His heart was constantly absorbing and discharging the power of fire, constantly supplying it to his blood vessels, and then distributing it to his limbs and bones. The whole process was silent and extremely strange.
An incredible transformation was taking place in Li Mu's body.
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed.
The golden ape was waiting outside the stone chamber, waiting anxiously.
An idea gradually came to his mind.
