Chapter 25 Contact with Mystery
Once the golden body technique is practiced, it will improve from the level of life and have a physique far beyond ordinary people. From the early resistance ability, to the inability to cut with a real iron sword, and to the indestructibility of the golden body, in the eyes of ordinary people, this is extraordinary.
Wang Xuan devoted himself to it, rehearsing it over and over again. In the empty world of meditation, the time is quite long for him.
Here he can think calmly, pose the most precise body posture, and correct any flaws reasonably.
Although he was practicing the Golden Body Technique, Wang Xuan found that he was still in a detached state, he could examine himself calmly, and his mind was clear.
"The highest level of meditation, entering the land of emptiness, is where my spirit is resident, based here to perform the golden body technique."
Wang Xuan is very clear that this space, which is as silent as a barren universe, belongs to a very special field, giving people an extremely real feeling.
It is impossible for his real body to appear here, but this kind of practice seems to be able to feed back into the physical body.
Wang Xuan is transparent inside and outside, and his mind is cold and quiet, as if he is detached, looking down on everything about himself, and in the process of practicing the golden body technique, he makes fewer and fewer mistakes.
Until the end, his actions were indistinguishable from those recorded in the scriptures, without any flaws.
At this time, through the emptiness and dead silence, he vaguely sensed the outside body, which seemed to be adapting to various changes, posing one after another.
His outer body made the most standard movements, performing the perfect golden body technique.
However, that kind of movement is very slow, as if imprinting something with the flesh, instead of countless attempts and exercises like in the void.
...
In this state of absolute calm, Wang Xuan thought, the highest level of meditation, a few minutes in the outside world, may take years here, but can the results here really be brought out?
If you leave here, there should be no problem with spiritual understanding, etc., and you can take it out.
In the land of emptiness, the passage of time for several years, relatively speaking, is mainly aimed at the spiritual level.
But even if the external physical body remembers this feeling, will it improve accordingly?
He believes that the physical body should not be able to keep up with the changes here.
This is regrettable, but he also feels that it is extremely real, after all, the physical body has not followed up here.
If one is full of energy and returns with all the comprehension and flawless memory of the golden body technique, will it be possible to speed up the formation of the golden body in the real world?
However, Wang Xuan also noticed some unusual things. Examining himself, outside the void, why is the external body that can be vaguely perceived moving, and performed the golden body technique with the most standard movements. Is it just the subconscious pushing?
Now he has a super keen perception, and immediately realizes that he seems to have overlooked something.
In the land of emptiness, a world of meditation, after a few days, Wang Xuan felt a little tired.
He couldn't help frowning, didn't he mean that the highest level of meditation can stay here for several years? It may even be longer.
What is missing, what is wrong? He thought calmly, watching himself who was practicing the golden body technique, his movements gradually slowed down, almost showing flaws.
"It's not like that." He whispered, feeling a little tired.
Suddenly, two rays of light flashed across his almost indifferent eyes, and he knew where the problem was.
Why can he enter here? It's all because he operated the root method in the bamboo slips of the pre-Qin period in a super-sensing state, so he gained a foothold here.
The next moment, Wang Xuan changed. He no longer practiced the golden body technique with a tired spirit, but once again urged the root method left by the pre-Qin alchemists.
Almost in an instant, everything changed. His energy began to flourish, fatigue and other factors gradually subsided, and even his perception and so on were improving, and his state quickly improved.
Soon, his spiritual perception and acuity continued to increase.
Afterwards, his supernatural perception fully recovered, and spread out, touching something.
"Using the root method of the pre-Qin alchemists, I have attracted some kind of mysterious substance!"
He made an accurate and correct judgment at the first time. It was a mysterious factor that was difficult to explain, scattered in the void.
It was because of this mysterious factor that his spirit was no longer exhausted, but became more and more vigorous.
Wang Xuan was in the highest level of meditation, and noticed that some inexplicable matter came from outside and entered the void, making his state better than ever.
It's like nectar from the sky, watering the empty place and nourishing his spirit.
As time passed, he felt that not only the spirit, but also the body that he vaguely sensed was changing.
He realized that using the highest level of meditation is not enough to describe the phenomenon in front of him, and needs to be explained with the interior scene of Huangting.
"This is the interior scene of the Yellow Court of Taoism. Absolute emptiness and tranquility, in the emptiness of time, attracts unspeakable mysterious factors."
Inner scene, silence, emptiness, like a dead land, but standing here, can attract substances that are very beneficial to the spirit and body.
Wang Xuan realized that the foundation of the old technique is in the interior!
In an instant, he was further convinced that the most correct way to unlock the secret method inherited by the pre-Qin alchemists was to do it in the interior.
He even had some doubts that the origin of the old technique was also related to the inner scene.
Why were pre-Qin alchemists so powerful?
Because, if you want to practice their method, you must first come here in a super-sense state, so that you can receive mysterious substances.
For a long time, few latecomers came to this place, so the old art became more and more dim, and it is difficult for the achievements of later generations to compare with alchemists.
Entering the highest level of meditation and standing in the inner scene is a necessary condition for practicing the advanced and profound root method of the pre-Qin Bamboo Slips. This threshold has directly blocked countless people from ancient to modern times.
Soon after, Wang Xuan felt the external changes, and the physical body really benefited, not limited to the spirit of the void.
As time went by, the mysterious substance falling from the inner scene became saturated, and it was useless to use the root method of the alchemist, so Wang Xuan began to practice the golden body technique again.
This time he observed carefully, and the effect was indeed better than before.
In the interior scene, he practiced the golden body technique flawlessly, and as time passed, his physical technique continued to become stronger.
At the same time, he vaguely sensed that his physical body was also moving, nourished by mysterious substances, and the golden body technique was slowly improving.
He has an insight that the mysterious factors received from the inner scene can enter the real world and be absorbed by his body.
This means that the golden body achievements he obtained in the highest level of meditation can be completely brought to the real world!
Even though Wang Xuan was in a state of absolute calm and detachment, he trembled for a moment, but soon all the emotional fluctuations were smoothed out, and the interior scene returned to silence.
One year, two years, in the land of emptiness, Wang Xuan continued to practice the golden body technique. Whenever he felt a little tired, he would run the root method in the bamboo slips of the pre-Qin period again, attracting indescribable mysterious factors, and watering the place. until saturated.
In two years, he practiced the second layer of the golden body technique in the inner scene, and felt that the external body had also changed, and shed a layer of skin.
All because of the inexplicable substances brought in from the inner scene to ensure the improvement and change of the physical body, which is consistent with the spiritual realm.
During the two years in the interior, Wang Xuan not only practiced the golden body art, but also tried to practice the body art on a few pages of gold paper.
After all, this kind of method is too tempting for him, it is something left by the founder of Taoism.
In the process, he discovered a horrifying truth, this technique actually hurts the body, and the physical technique recorded in the golden book is too terrifying and difficult to practice.
"He who was previously ignorant is fearless."
This is Wang Xuan's evaluation of himself practicing this physical skill before entering the interior scene.
Here, with his powerful perception and almost transcendental state, he overlooked himself and discovered a terrible fact.
When he practiced this physical technique, as long as there was a slight pain, the internal organs were actually injured. It can be clearly seen in the interior scene that there is a slight bleeding on the internal organs.
If it is in the outside world, I am afraid that the most sophisticated instrument monitoring is required to capture such extremely subtle changes.
Because this kind of injury is very weak, it can almost be ignored.
But for people who practice gymnastics, if it is like this for a long time, if they accumulate slowly, accidents will inevitably happen, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
In the early days, Wang Xuan felt that this was not a tearing pain, and it passed after he endured it. If he persisted for a while every day, he would gradually adapt to it sooner or later.
Now based on the interior scene, he understood that he almost strayed into the restricted area in the past.
"The physical skills in the golden book can only be practiced in the inner scene."
Wang Xuan noticed that when there is slight invisible bleeding in the viscera, the mysterious substance in the inner scene will permeate, nourish the viscera until it is cured.
It is indeed the golden book left by Zhang Daoling. The starting point is too high. If you can't enter the inner scene, you can't practice this kind of physical skill at all.
Moreover, in two years, Wang Xuan only practiced the first engraving on the first page of gold paper.
This time, he didn't practice all the engraved pictures on the first page of gold paper like he did in the outside world, but focused on one picture.
Sure enough, after continuous bleeding from internal organs and two years of worldly polishing, he practiced the first picture to perfection.
Regarding this picture, no matter how much he tossed about, his viscera were no longer injured.
"It's too difficult!"
Wang Xuan believes that this kind of physical skill is not prepared for him at this stage, it is entirely the achievement of his constant injuries and suffering.
The first picture is like this, it can be imagined that the follow-up will only be more difficult!
He decided to improve the Golden Body Technique first, and leave the things Zhang Daoling left behind to practice seriously when he has a higher level in the future.
Time passed in the interior scene, and three years later, Wang Xuan practiced the golden body technique to the third level. He felt that in a few months, the third level would be completely complete.
At this time, an inexplicable feeling came to his heart, and he immediately knew that the highest level of meditation was over, and he was about to withdraw from the inner scene.
Sure enough, the land of emptiness was no longer silent, but gradually had voices.
It was his own heartbeat, and the soft wind outside the window, and the sound of cars passing on the street further away.
The land of the inner scene dissipated, and Wang Xuan's spirit completely returned to reality.
He immediately felt the changes in himself. After shedding two layers of skin, his new body was crystal clear and tough, and his physique was significantly improved and stronger than before.
In the real world, his golden body technique has reached the third level!
He checked the time, five years in the interior scene, but in the real world, only a few minutes passed!
