"Tai Chi cultivates the mind and refines the body. With the human body as the universe, the sea contains hundreds of rivers, the moon and the sun, deducing the heaven and earth, and unearthing the body's potential. No wonder everyone can cultivate the Dao of Tai Chi." Yang Wu couldn't help but murmur after comprehending the Dao of Tai Chi.
Now, he understood the Dao of Tai Chi, but it didn't mean that he had successfully cultivated the Dao of Tai Chi. He only understood a little and understood the simple principles of Tai Chi. He had to cultivate day and night before he could truly comprehend the Dao of Tai Chi.
Moreover, he didn't have a Yin and Yang body, so he would never be able to cultivate the Dao of Tai Chi to the realm of great success.
Fortunately, the Great Dao was interconnected. He had comprehended the Dao of Tai Chi, which was very beneficial to his cultivation. When he cultivated other martial arts, he could compare them with each other and accelerate his comprehension of other martial arts, especially his new martial arts.
Yang Wu once again practiced Tai Chi. He found that the fist technique he practiced was different from the original Tai Chi. Whether it was the movements or the essentials, it seemed to be more casual. He didn't feel the slightest discomfort. He even felt that this kind of fist technique was more in line with his state of mind.
"Why is it like this?" Yang Wu stopped and asked himself after practicing a set of Tai Chi.
Ordinary Wudang disciples practiced the same Tai Chi. Why did he practice a different Tai Chi after comprehending the Dao of Tai Chi?
"Because you have already entered the basics of the Dao of Taiji. The Dao of Taiji is born from the heart. The Dao of Taiji in everyone's heart is different. Thus, your Dao of Taiji will also be different from others." An old voice rang out beside Yang Wu's ear.
"Tai Chi is born from the heart? I see. " Yang Wu was slightly stunned and understood the truth. He then looked in a direction and saw a white-haired youth sitting on the roof. If one didn't look carefully, they wouldn't notice his existence.
"You are?" Yang Wu couldn't see through the youth's depth. He only felt that the other party was extraordinary, but he couldn't tell what was so extraordinary about him.
"Don't worry about who I am. Let's exchange a few moves first." The white-haired youth responded and his figure appeared beside Yang Wu. Even Yang Wu couldn't see how the other party moved.
Immediately after, the other party struck a Tai Chi starting pose and got into a very standard horse stance, fully displaying the style of a grandmaster.
Yang Wu also wanted to test his own Tai Chi Dao, so he replied, "Alright, let's do it."
He stretched out his arm and placed it on his opponent's arm. Before he could say anything, a powerful force pushed him back a dozen steps.
"Your reaction is too slow. Again." The white-haired youth said.
"Alright, I'm here." Yang Wu did not mind that the other party had made the first move. It was true that his reaction was slow, the other party had not used his profound energy.
Yang Wu walked over quickly and waved his Taiji Fist slowly.
This punch seemed to be very slow, but in the blink of an eye, it arrived at the white-haired youth's chest. The fist landed unceremoniously on the other party's chest.
Yang Wu's punch didn't have any profound energy, but the strength was not small. He was a little worried that the other party wouldn't be able to withstand it.
However, when his fist landed, he discovered that it was as if he had punched a cotton flower, and the force of his fist actually had no place to land. Before he could react, an extremely powerful rebound force was produced, and it shook him to the point that he retreated more than ten steps.
"You won't be able to win by being distracted like this. Do your best." The white-haired youth calmly said.
"Alright, again." Yang Wu responded and completely let go of his hands and feet to exchange blows with the other party.
One punch, two punches, three punches …
"Not enough. Your fist is too slow."
"Is this like Tai Chi? It's not strong enough, and it's too soft. How can you borrow strength to fight strength? "
"Tai Chi is divided into Yin and Yang. Yin and Yang are balanced, and hardness and softness combine. These are all correct, but you forgot that it is impermanent."
… …
Yang Wu and the white-haired youth continuously exchanged blows. In the beginning, Yang Wu was constantly pushed away by the white-haired youth. Time and time again, Yang Wu couldn't even touch the other party's skin. Yang Wu then discovered that the other party's understanding of the way of Tai Chi was too deep. It wasn't something that he could compare to when he had just comprehended it.
Fortunately, the white-haired youth was extremely patient. As he exchanged blows with Yang Wu, he also gave him pointers. Gradually, Yang Wu was able to stand firmly in front of the white-haired youth. Both of them continuously massaged each other. Yang Wu once again entered a state of enlightenment.
The way of Tai Chi was a combination of Yin and Yang. It also contained a myriad of changes. It was not a Dao that was unchanging. Instead, it was a Dao that was constantly changing. It was like the rising and setting of the sun and the rising of the moon, constantly alternating. The changes were extremely fast. Tai Chi entered a state of "no moves". No matter how one attacked, it was always correct. It was completely different from other battle techniques.
Unknowingly, Yang Wu and the white-haired youth exchanged blows until night, and then from night to the next day. The movements of the two of them became slower and slower. However, the force behind their movements became stronger and stronger. It was as if the heavens and the earth were affected. The fallen leaves in the surrounding courtyard constantly fluttered in the air, unable to fall down for a long time.
Little Hei, who was in the corner, also became spirited. It thought to itself, "I didn't expect there to be such a capable person. His aptitude isn't bad either. If he has the opportunity, he might be able to take that step. As expected of the place where Master once stayed."
Outside Yang Wu's courtyard, Song Qing and Zhang Mingshan had already arrived.
They didn't step into the courtyard. They had been watching from outside. They couldn't help but be fascinated.
They had also been practicing Tai Chi since they were young. However, they had never grasped the main points of Tai Chi. There was no way for them to comprehend the way of Tai Chi. They could only explore other martial arts that belonged to them.
Now, they saw with their own eyes that Yang Wu had comprehended the way of Tai Chi. He even exchanged blows with their Supreme Guardian. This level of comprehension was just too amazing.
Yang Wu was pushed away by the white-haired youth once again.
However, this time, he retreated as light as a swallow. He didn't look like he was in a sorry state at all.
"Alright, this time you've truly entered the way of Tai Chi. It's really not bad," the white-haired youth said with a satisfied smile.
Yang Wu cupped his hands at the white-haired youth and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
Yang Wu still couldn't figure out the white-haired youth's identity, but it didn't stop him from respecting him. The white-haired youth's strength was definitely above his, and his status in the WuTang Sect was definitely not ordinary.
"I can't say that I'm teaching you, but I'm itching to spar with you. For so many years, very few people in the WuTang Sect have been able to comprehend the way of Tai Chi overnight. You can do it in just a few days. Your comprehension is really good. If you have the Yin Yang Combat Body like Lu Zhi, it would be even more perfect," the white-haired youth said with emotion.
The WuTang Sect had been around for so many years. Although there were several precedents of people comprehending the way of Tai Chi overnight, those were all after countless days and nights of cultivation. Yang Wu had only been in the WuTang Sect for a few days and he had already comprehended the way of Tai Chi. He was definitely the first person to do so.
Yang Wu smiled and said, "Lu Zhi is indeed one in a million. I'm happy for him that he can become a disciple of the WuTang Sect. Thank you for your guidance, senior."
The white-haired youth smiled and said to Song Qing and Zhang Mingshan outside the courtyard, "You two have been watching for so long. Come in too."
"It's the Supreme Guardian," the two responded in unison and walked in from outside the courtyard.
"The Supreme Guardian?" Yang Wu was shocked.
The Supreme Guardian was definitely the existence of the Heaven Reaching Realm. The other party actually came out to spar with him?
"Don't look at me like that. I've only lived a little longer." The white-haired youth waved his hand at Yang Wu. Then he looked at Song Qing and Zhang Mingshan and said, "You two have been watching for so long. What have you learned?"
Song Qing respectfully said, "The Supreme Guardian, Song Qing has learned a little."
"Then tell me."
"In the past, when I practiced the Tai Chi Dao, I focused too much on the traces and less on the changes, so I have been unable to enter the threshold. In the future, I will definitely be more flexible and changeable. I believe that I will definitely be able to see the Tai Chi Dao."
"Your Headmaster has already told you these things. What kind of learning is this? Mingshan, tell me."
"The Earth Xuan Qi that I cultivate is more than stable, but not changeable. This aspect needs to be strengthened. In addition, the Earth Xuan Qi can be both hard and soft. For example, the hard mountain rock represents the hard side, and the mud flow represents the soft side. If I study this aspect in the future, I should be able to form my own Dao."
"I have touched on the surface of the truth. The Tai Chi Dao is all-encompassing and changeable. You have been cultivating since you were young, so the Tai Chi Dao is imprinted in your hearts. How to change, you can refer to your heart. The Tai Chi Dao is just a way for you to verify your Dao." The white-haired youth said with his hands behind his back. Then he said to Yang Wu, "I heard that you are already a top level alchemist. How about we talk about alchemy?"
Song Qing and Zhang Mingshan were shocked.
Their Supreme Guardian's divine power was amazing, and his alchemy was extraordinary. He was a divine alchemist, and he actually took the initiative to invite Yang Wu to talk about alchemy?
Yang Wu said without hesitation, "Of course."
"Follow me." The white-haired youth said. He rolled up his sleeves and quickly left with Yang Wu.
Soon, they appeared in the forbidden area of the back mountain of Wudang.
There was an old cauldron here. The cauldron still had the smell of medicine. It was obviously the smell accumulated from years of alchemy.
"I have been in seclusion here all year round, and I don't have anything good to entertain you. Let's have a chat, "the white-haired youth said and waved his hand. A tea set was placed on the jade table, and there were two dark green jade chairs beside it.
Yang Wu was attracted by the jade table and chairs. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Jade Emperor's essence."
Yang Wu had killed people from the Jade Emperor Clan. The jade table and chairs in front of him were of the same quality as the bodies of the Jade Emperor Clan.
"It's just some leftover material from the Jade Emperor Clan." The white-haired youth said casually.
Then, he began to warm the tea and boil it. Waves of intoxicating tea fragrance filled the mountain peak.
"Heart Nourishing Tea." When Yang Wu saw the tea leaves, he was shocked again.
He had only obtained a little bit of Heart Nourishing Tea in the Alchemy Department. It was left behind by Xuanyuan Badao. He didn't expect the Supreme Guardian of Wudang to have it too. Moreover, there seemed to be a lot of it.
The white-haired youth shook his head and said, "This isn't Heart Nourishing Tea. It's Enlightenment Tea."
"What!" Yang Wu lost his composure even more.
Heart Nourishing Tea was a top-grade holy tea. It could help people calm down and easily enter a state of enlightenment.
Enlightenment Tea was of a higher grade than Heart Nourishing Tea. It was a true divine tea. No matter who drank it, they could directly comprehend the Dao.
As soon as the white-haired youth finished boiling the tea, Yang Wu couldn't wait to drink it.
Then, he comprehended the Dao again.
