Monk Hui Guang muttered, "The Marrow Cleansing Technique changes your original cultivation level, but this transformation isn't a bad thing. Instead, it builds a firm foundation. You have the body of the Soul Lotus, so you already have a solid foundation, but it's not impenetrable. If you cultivate the Marrow Cleansing Technique, you might be able to cultivate an impenetrable body."
Chu Li smiled.
Monk Hui Guang said, "Although your previous cultivation level was not shallow, it was too heterogeneous. Once you cultivate on this foundation, you'll become nondescript, and it'll be difficult to cultivate to the perfect state."
Chu Li replied, "Yes."
Monk Hui Guang sighed, "Your aptitude and talent are excellent, cultivate well."
Chu Li pressed his palms together.
Monk Hui Guang turned around and left slowly.
Chu Li sat on the bed and began to cultivate the Marrow Cleansing Technique.
His surroundings were quiet, and no one disturbed him. He knew that Ding Kong was doing his morning class at this time.
The Marrow Cleansing Technique was just an incantation, and its meaning was simple and comprehensive.
However, it was a difficult thing to do. It required a strong state of mind, no one, no self, and to completely forget oneself.
For those who lacked the power of meditation, or those whose state of mind was not strong enough, it was as difficult as ascending to heaven. The more one wanted to forget oneself, the more distracting thoughts there would be.
Chu Li's meditation skill was very profound, and his dharmic base was also very high, so it was easy for him to achieve this.
In the state of no self, he did not know the passage of time, did not know the troubles of the world, and everything turned into nothingness.
After a while, a strange power surged from the bottom of his feet, warm and numb, breaking his state of mind.
As soon as the distracting thoughts were gone, the power disappeared.
Chu Li secretly praised the mystery of the Marrow Cleansing Technique. It reacted so quickly, it was simple yet effective.
He immersed himself in nothingness again, and the strange power was born from the bottom of his feet again, and then moved up his legs. Along the way, the inner energy in the acupuncture points was melted by this power.
His legs felt warm as if they had disappeared, and his heart was at peace.
It moved up his calves to his Dantian, and quickly transformed the inner energy in his Dantian into a warm power.
This power became stronger and faster, from his Dantian to his chest, then to his neck, and finally stopped at the middle of his eyebrows. Then, it went back down, and he repeated the previous path.
His body was immersed in this warm energy, as if he was soaking in a hot spring. It was even more comfortable than a hot spring, lazy and warm, indescribable joy and comfort that he could not extricate himself from.
However, this force was slowly diminishing and becoming weaker. Chu Li used the Omniscient Mirror to observe it and found that it was drilling into his flesh and blood. Then, it passed through his flesh and into his bones and even into his bone marrow.
Under the observation of the Omniscient Mirror, the bones were as thick as flesh. After the strange energy seeped into them, the flesh turned silver and shone brightly. When the energy completely melted and disappeared, the color of the bone marrow turned from silver to white again. However, it was slightly more transparent and brighter.
After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly woke up.
There was a knock on the door. He took a step to the door and opened it.
He realized that the inner energy in his body had disappeared, as if he had never practiced martial arts before. However, his body was as light as a feather, as if his entire body had become weightless, as if he had disappeared. He had broken free from the shackles of his physical body, leaving only his soul behind.
With one step, he actually crossed from the inside of the house to the door. This was not Qing Gong, but it was better than Qing Gong.
Ding Kong stood outside the door and smiled. "Junior Brother Chu, I've received the news. I'll bring you to your evening class."
Chu Li lifted his head to look at the sky. The setting sun dyed the Sky Heart Courtyard red.
Chu Li pressed his palms together. "Thank you, Senior Brother Ding Kong."
Ding Kong waved his hand. "Let's go."
He suddenly looked at Chu Li and stopped in his tracks. "Huh, your martial arts is gone?"
Chu Li nodded. "It's gone."
"You're going to start practicing martial arts so soon." Ding Kong sighed. "But as a monk disciple, you still have to do morning and evening classes. It's not easy."
He showed a sympathetic expression.
Until now, he still felt that the morning and evening classes were a huge torture. Every day felt like a year.
Chu Li smiled.
The two of them left the Sky Heart Courtyard and headed east. They arrived at the basilica.
There were already more than two hundred monks standing in front of the basilica. They were all dressed in spotless yellow robes. Chu Li's robe was still his original white robe, which was particularly eye-catching.
Chu Li did not care, and the monks around him did not look at him either. They all kept their eyes closed and stood still.
Monk Ding Kong brought him to the back and stood still.
"Smack!" The sound of incense slapping was heard.
The monk at the front slowly walked up the stairs and entered the basilica. Following that, the other monks walked up the stairs one by one. Chu Li and Monk Ding Kong were the last to enter. The basilica was already filled with monks sitting on a yellow cattail hassock.
Chu Li sat on a cattail hassock as well. His heart instantly calmed down.
The atmosphere in the basilica was solemn. The statue of Buddha sitting at the northernmost side shone with golden light.
Not only was it golden on the outside, but it was also golden on the inside. Under the observation of the Omniscient Mirror, the golden light was emitted from the inside out, illuminating the basilica.
Under this golden light, the Omniscient Mirror could not see the minds of the people around it. It was suppressed by the golden light to the point that it could only see the outside but not the inside.
Chu Li did not know what kind of power this golden light was, but it was very strange.
"Infinite Life Scripture!" An old monk stood in front of the statue. His eyebrows were all white, and his face was as red as a baby's. His white eyebrows were like two long horsetail whisks that drooped down to his cheeks.
"Bang bang bang bang …" The sound of a wooden fish was heard.
The monks started chanting.
The chanting was uniform and filled the entire basilica. It was everywhere.
Chu Li also chanted the Infinite Life Scripture softly.
He closed his eyes, but the Omniscient Mirror did not dissipate. It was still observing the monks and the old monk standing under the statue.
The old monk looked thin and frail. He was already old and did not know any martial arts, but he made Chu Li shiver. He felt a bone-piercing chill. It was obvious that he had an amazing power, but he did not show it.
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that the old monk did not know any martial arts. Looking at the way he stood there, he knew that he did not know any martial arts. He did not even know any martial arts that strengthened his body.
However, it was this ordinary old monk who possessed an earth-shattering power.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Chu Li.
It was a calm gaze, but Chu Li felt a great pressure. It was obvious that the old monk had sensed his clairvoyance. This must have been due to his powerful spiritual energy and subtle senses.
Chu Li's gaze suddenly froze. He opened his eyes and looked at a young monk.
The young monk's body floated up gently, emitting a green light. His feet were two inches off the ground as he stood in the void. The green light surrounded his body.
The young monk's unusual appearance seemed to be a trigger. Then, three more monks appeared. One was lying in the air with a yellow light flashing around his body. One had a halo on top of his head, and the last one had a light flashing between his eyebrows.
He did not observe these unusual appearances with the Omniscient Mirror. He saw them with his own eyes.
The old monk appeared beside them in a flash. He held an incense board in his hand and hit it hard.
"Pa! Pa! Pa! Pa! "Four hits landed on their heads.
They immediately returned to their original state. The light dissipated and they stood straight on the ground. They continued to focus on chanting as if nothing had happened.
