Chapter 19 Swallowing Light and Exhaling Clouds
After a long time, Gu Xiuyun put down the classics in his hands.
"It turns out that the Chu County where Youning City is located belongs to the Ruoshui Sect. The Shangzong that the tribesmen often mention refers to the Ruoshui Sect." Gu Xiuyun suddenly realized, "As for the Changlitian sect where the second sister Gu Xiuhan went, it is not an ordinary sect. , but a heavenly realm.”
According to the classics, this vast land is jointly controlled by four sects, namely the Weak Water Sect, Likong Sect, Wuhen Sect and Yuecheng.
Among them, the Weak Water Sect and the Li Kong Sect are the most powerful, occupying almost 90% of the area on the surface, while the Wuhen Sect has ghosts and ghosts, and no one knows where they are hiding.
The Moon City is even more weird. It is said that it only appears at night. Anyone who enters this city is equivalent to leaving the Yang world and has nothing to do with the mortal world.
Below the four major sects are various counties and cities. These cities are controlled by wealthy families and pay tribute to the four major sects every year to maintain their status.
For example, Youning City is a government city. In Youning City, the Gu family and the Yu family are the most respected.
The Gu family is in charge of the north city, the Yu family is in charge of the west city, and the remaining aristocratic families divide the east city and the south city. There are hundreds of aristocratic families, large and small, in total.
As for the outside of Youning City, although the area is vast, there are so many monsters and beasts that mortals cannot survive at all. Only warriors from various aristocratic families can occasionally leave the city and hunt large numbers of beasts to replenish the consumption in the city.
Only at this moment did Gu Xiuyun understand what kind of world he was in?
The vast land is almost entirely occupied by monsters and wild beasts. The human race can only survive in the city. Those who are stronger than the Gu family must also rely on the weak Water Sect to use its power to resist the attacks of monster beasts.
"No wonder everyone in the Gu clan is immersed in hard training. Living in this kind of world, if you want to survive, you must be strong enough."
Gu Xiuyun's eyes flashed.
The Alchemy Pagoda has all the books he needs, and the clan will also provide an endless supply of elixirs. For him, the most important thing now is to enlighten his spiritual veins and step into the immortal gate.
"The classics on the fourth floor seem to be all about martial arts and strange stories. It's not interesting to read too much. Why not go to the upper two floors to have a look."
He turned around and walked to the stairs, stepping up to the fifth floor.
There are only a dozen classics on the fifth floor, but they are written in stone slips, which makes them extremely bloated. Each classic has hundreds of volumes of stone slips, and there are hundreds of bookshelves.
Gu Xiuyun picked up a volume of stone slips and looked at it carefully.
"The Technique of Swallowing Light and Breathing Clouds: Using Qi as the root, practicing spirit and gathering pulses..."
"It is indeed an immortal technique!"
His eyes suddenly lit up and he quickly started reading.
The stone slips on this bookshelf all talk about the "Turning the Clouds" technique. Each stone slip contains only a few hundred words. The entire bookshelf contains tens of thousands of words.
with it
For example, when Gu Yue found the Secret of Seeking Truth at the top of Yunfeng, there was only a roll of kraft paper, which was extremely shabby.
But Gu Xiuyun understood that the two could not be compared.
The "Turning the Light and Breathing the Clouds" technique in front of me is actually not the original one, but a technique translated by later generations. The real Immortal Dao techniques are all recorded in ancient texts. Every word contains endless profound meanings and is worth pondering over a lifetime.
The stone slips in front of me are recorded in ordinary characters. The words are much more detailed, but also a little more shackles. If future generations use this to practice, they will not be able to escape the influence of the writer.
"Although it's just a translation, I haven't even managed to activate my spiritual veins yet, so it might as well take a look!"
Gu Xiuyun immersed himself in reading. After a full day, he finished reading the bookshelf in front of him.
At this moment, the entire "Turning the Light and Breathing the Clouds" was echoing in his mind.
There are only the first three realms of the Swallowing Light and Breathing Cloud Jue in the Alchemy Pagoda, which are Yuanling's pulse-cleansing, pulse-opening and fighting-qi rising to the sky.
In other words, even if you don't join the Shangzong, you can reach the realm of Dou Qi Chongxiao by relying on this technique alone.
But after Gu Xiuyun immersed himself in the deduction, he keenly discovered that this was simply impossible.
The division of realms in the "Turning the Light and Breathing Clouds" formula is extremely detailed, and there is no shortage of practice tips. However, the secrets of the operation of each key point are not entirely true. Especially after the pulse point realm is opened, even the techniques to break the key points are not available. No.
According to the chapter on seeking truth, there are a total of six heavenly gates in the Kaiping Pulse Gate Realm. Every time a gate is broken through, the spiritual veins in the spine will grow until it fills the entire spine. At that time, the physical body and spiritual veins will Together, their skills are so high that they can dominate even the weak Water Sect.
But every level is as tough as a mountain. How easy is it to break it?
The chapter on asking for truth specifically records six methods for this, which are used to break through the various levels of heaven. Even so, it is still as difficult as climbing to heaven.
However, the Swallowing Light and Cloud Breathing Technique does not even have a way to break through the barrier, and it is even more hopeless to break through the heavenly barrier.
Gu Xiuyun looked at the bottom of the stone slip and saw clearly written on it, "Given to the family by Gu Hanqiu, the weak water sect."
"It turns out that it was given by the ancestor of the third generation of the clan. Unfortunately, this ancestor died too early, and he only reached the Dou Qi Soaring Sky realm at the end of his cultivation. No wonder there is no record of the subsequent techniques."
"The secret to breaking through the pulse barrier realm must have been blocked by the weak water sect, so there is no record of it. In this way, no matter how talented the Gu family's children are, they must worship the sect in order to make further progress, otherwise they will only be able to live in this world forever. It stops at the early stage of opening the pulse barrier.”
Gu Gu!
Suddenly my stomach rumbled.
"I've been reading for so long that I even forgot to eat." Gu Xiuyun shook his head and smiled, "There are a lot of Kung Fu books on the fifth floor. I will definitely not finish them all in a day or two. I'd better go to the Five Zang Temple to worship first!"
He turned around
When he was about to leave, a woman in red walked towards him.
"Are you Gu Xiuyun?" The red-dressed woman looked cold, with murderous intent in her eyes, and spiritual power fluctuated around her.
A strong person in the Yuanling Ximai realm?
Gu Xiuyun frowned slightly. Looking at the expression of the woman in front of him, it was clear that she had a grudge against him, but when did he offend such a person?
Gu Xiuyun rolled his eyes and said, "I am Gu Xiudan. My cousin just went to the sixth floor of the Danjing Tower. May I ask what the lady wants?"
"It turned out to be Mr. Dan. I am Yan Suqing. I want to settle an old account with Gu Xiuyun. Please forgive me for offending you in my words." The red-dressed woman's face softened a lot.
Hearing this, Gu Xiuyun suddenly realized, "It turned out to be the biological sister of that cousin. No wonder she wanted to settle the account with me."
The Yan Suqing in front of him was the biological sister of Yan Sushi, the cousin who was almost flirted with by Gu Xiuyun's predecessor.
Speaking of which, although the Yan family and the Gu family are stationed in two different cities, they have a good relationship with each other, so the direct descendants of the Yan family can also enter and exit the Danjing Tower freely.
But for some reason, Yan Suqing actually came to Yuning City. Could it be that she came to settle accounts with him?
Gu Xiuyun shook his head secretly in his heart. Yan Suqing is such a genius, why would she rush all the way to Yuning City for him? After all, Yan Suqing is different from Yan Sushi. She is a generation of genius. She will never leave the family easily unless something big happens.
However, Yan Sushi has suffered from a strange disease since childhood. She has to take the blood of the thorn snake near Yuning City every day to be safe and sound, so she lives in the Gu family for a long time.
As the same daughter, in terms of status, Yan Suqing is much higher than her sister. Not to mention that Gu Xiuyun did not succeed, even if he really succeeded, he should not alarm this young lady.
Gu Xiuyun's mind was in a state of confusion, but he said, "Miss Yan, you are too polite. Our two families have always been good friends. I should call you my cousin. Gu Xiuyun is on the sixth floor. Go find him!"
"Thank you, cousin Dan."
The red-clothed woman turned and walked up to the sixth floor. Gu Xiuyun took this opportunity to walk down the stairs.
As soon as he walked out of the Danjing Tower, the old servant guarding the door came up to him, "Sir, you have been in the Danjing Tower for a day and a night. I thought something happened to you!"
"Chang Bo, this is the Danjing Tower. There are so many Yuanling Ximai Realm guardians in it. What can happen to me?" Gu Xiuyun smiled, "But let's go quickly. If we stay here, something will really happen!"
The red-clothed girl is a master of Yuanling Ximai Realm. If she really catches up, he and Chang Bo can't beat her together.
Speaking of the grudges between them, Gu Xiuyun was in the wrong. After all, he almost molested the other party's sister. Even if this grudge was put in front of the head of the Gu family, no one dared to say a word for him.
