Chapter Nine, The True Overview of the Nine Calamities

Chu Yang distinctly felt that although his power had not increased, the speed of its operation had significantly improved. Moreover, within his meridians, a layer of golden, flexible radiance was slowly dissipating, merging into the inner walls of his meridians

The ginseng essence, which had not yet been absorbed by the meridians, transformed into a stream of light and was entirely absorbed by the Nine Calamity Sword

At this time, Shi Qianshan and Tan Tan should be practicing their skills deep within the Zizhu Forest, unable to hear any commotion from this side. Meanwhile, Meng Chaoran is nowhere to be found, so naturally, there is no one around.

The way of heaven is ruthless, all things are destroyed; the way of heaven is compassionate, all things are born. The way of the sword is ruthless, slaughtering the world; the way of the sword is compassionate, with thoughts for all living beings. Whether compassionate or ruthless, it depends on one's heart. Nine tribulations and nine layers, ruthless, yet compassionate. Whether compassionate or ruthless, it is all the same.

The name of the golden blood ginseng comes from this. This is golden blood

The voice was cold, yet the sharpness of the questioning and retorts was astonishing. The gaze behind it felt like a thorn in the back, almost tangible, and it seemed to cause a faint pain.

Under the Lock Cloud Peak, Li Jianyin and Wu Qianqian, disciples of the Gathering Cloud Peak, respectfully seek an audience with Master Meng on behalf of their teacher. We kindly ask the senior brothers inside to relay this message. The young man in white spoke loudly, his voice carrying far without dissipating, demonstrating his remarkable internal martial arts skills.

The medicinal power of the golden blood ginseng essence, transformed by the Nine Calamity Sword, has finally been completely integrated into Chu Yang's meridians

This young man has a slightly slender build and a tall figure, with sword-like eyebrows and thin lips. At first glance, he may not seem particularly attractive, but the more one looks, the more intriguing he becomes. His pursed lips form a downward semi-arc, giving him an air of aloofness that makes one hesitant to approach, infused with a hint of cruel wildness. However, at this moment, the light in his eyes resembles two sharp swords, opening and closing with a commanding presence that makes one reluctant to gaze directly at him

The sound came from behind the two individuals

Lock Cloud Peak is the mountain where the position of the second of the Ten Disciples is located, closely connected to Gather Cloud Peak

... ...

Under the tumult of Chu Yang's mind, he surprisingly did not notice that on the illusory tip of the Nine Calamity Sword within his dantian, there was actually a faint trace of black...! ... So small that it was almost imperceptible, yet it was indeed substantial

Cultivating to the depths leads to the Way of Heaven

One might develop such an impression even without knowing the girl's usual character

Chu Yang looked up at the sky, a sharp pain in his heart, indescribable...

Before he could even feel surprised, he suddenly sensed that the Nine Calamity Sword in his dantian was radiating a brilliant light, giving Chu Yang a transparent sensation as if his entire body was being illuminated. ... Immediately afterward, a sharp pain shot through his dantian, and the light vanished without a trace, but Chu Yang knew that a mysterious event was unfolding ...

... ...

Suddenly, a dim golden light flashed on the sword body, and this time it was clearly much brighter than the last. The brilliance then vanished, and from the illusory hilt of the Nine Tribulations Sword, a stream of cool dark golden energy flowed out, instantly merging into Chu Yang's entire meridian system. Chu Yang watched in astonishment as a flash of golden light appeared on his exposed skin, then disappeared. His entire meridian system swelled like a toad, then retracted... followed by another swell... Instantly merging into Chu Yang's entire meridian system, he watched as a flash of golden light appeared on his exposed skin, then disappeared. His entire meridian system swelled like a toad, then retracted... followed by another swell...

Light dance, it turns out it was my mistake! From the very beginning, I took the wrong path. This has led to the tragedy of our lives

If one were to say that another's meridians are merely a small pond, then one's own meridians undoubtedly become a deep well. This is a qualitative difference

It is like a balloon, being blown into by someone, then letting the air out; and then blowing into it again

In the secular world, the secrets of the heavenly way are all contained within it, the seven emotions and six desires, the beginning of the heavenly way

A cold voice said: "How my master acquired the ten greatest disciples is not something you need to inquire about; you are not yet qualified! However, I would like to ask, how did such an arrogant person, who shows no respect for their elders, become a disciple of Lock Cloud Peak? Could it be that you come from a wealthy family? Or perhaps you have a good father?"

"Master Meng? Haha..." The young man laughed very frivolously, but he lowered his voice and said, "This Master Meng, I have heard that even if someone rides on his head, he would not get angry... Such a cowardly person, I truly cannot imagine how he earned his position among the top ten disciples back in the day!"

Nine Calamity Sword, oh Nine Calamity Sword, you have played a great joke on me, allowing me to ruin my life for a flawed technique, only to grant me a true rebirth after my destruction and the loss of my books

A general outline, yet it presents two paths. One path leads to sanctity, while the other leads to demonic transformation. ... How to cultivate oneself depends on a single-minded focus

Among the several houses in the Purple Bamboo Garden, there is a profound silence with no one to respond

At dawn, outside the Purple Bamboo Garden, two individuals arrived. One was a young man, and the other a young woman. Both were dressed in white robes, fluttering in the wind, and amidst the sea of purple bamboo, they appeared even more extraordinary and ethereal

Seemingly delicate, yet exuding a heroic grace; appearing strong and bold, yet imparting a gentle, fluid essence.

Chu Yang's entire body trembled violently, feeling a surge of intense agitation in his heart, accompanied by a wave of dizziness. At that moment, he nearly fell from the stone wall.

Although he was on the edge of a cliff, Chu Yang almost burst out laughing. This guy is just too human-like, isn't he

Thus, after nine consecutive times, this feeling has finally disappeared

What is devoid of emotion and what is filled with emotion all reside within one's own heart. If one's heart is devoid of emotion, then it is the path of the emotionless sword. If one's heart is filled with emotion, then it is the path of the emotional sword

Golden Blood Ginseng contains ginseng liquid; the older it is, the more ginseng liquid it contains, and the better the effect. Only this ginseng liquid is truly an effective substance. If one does not know how to excavate it, even a slight abrasion will cause all the ginseng liquid to flow out instantly. At that point, even if one swallows the entire Golden Blood Ginseng, it would merely be consuming a piece of tree root

This foundation is sufficient for one to continuously advance to the Martial Ancestor level without having to worry about the capacity and endurance of the meridians

It turns out that my entire past life was devoted to cultivating the path of harmony and the sword of literature, and it was all a mistake! A grave mistake!

Here is the true essence of the Nine Calamities and Nine Heavens Heart Method General Outline

The young man had sword-like brows and starry eyes, handsome and dashing, yet his face bore a kind of self-restrained pride; the young woman, only about seventeen or eighteen years old, had features like a painting, an exquisite appearance, a tall figure, and a serene expression on her face. Upon seeing this young woman, one could not help but feel two words arise in their heart: gentle.

Chu Yang surprisingly felt that the Nine Calamity Sword seemed to emit a satisfied belch, slowly returning to the dantian, giving off a sense of leisurely strolling after a hearty meal, swaying and flicking its tail, exuding an impressive demeanor

The young girl furrowed her brows and said softly, "Senior Brother Li, be cautious with your words. We are in the Bamboo Grove; do not let anyone overhear and provoke Uncle Meng's displeasure"

Should I hate you or should I thank you

It is indeed Chu Yang

Once the essence of the Golden Blood Xuan Shen enters the body, it automatically flows to soothe the meridians throughout. At this moment, the sword soul of the Nine Calamities Sword within the Dantian suddenly emits a wave of excitement, becoming agitated, and then transforms into a bolt of lightning, unexpectedly bursting forth from the Dantian and swiftly approaching. ... Filled with a sense of joy ...

He attempted to stimulate his meridians, feeling the extreme elasticity and flexibility that flowed through them, akin to the sensation of an indestructible ball, which filled Chu Yang with immense joy

The young girl was startled and hurriedly said: "Senior Brother Li, what did Father instruct before we came? Father told us to be extremely careful with our words, how could you..."

Before she could finish speaking, a cold snort was heard from behind her.

In the previous life, the path of cultivation was fraught with difficulties. Ultimately, one resorted to unorthodox methods to advance, entering the sword path through slaughter. However, one could never truly comprehend the essence, let alone reach the pinnacle of martial arts. Now, Chu Yang finally understands where he went wrong

A few words suddenly emerged in his heart

Standing on the stone wall, he waited until his breathing completely calmed down before placing the golden blood ginseng into his mouth. He gently bit through the skin with his teeth, and immediately a stream of liquid, cool yet spicy, flowed down his throat. This juice was surprisingly golden in color, shining brilliantly.

The two were startled and quickly turned around, only to see a young boy covered in dust, looking somewhat dirty. However, a sharp light shone from his eyes as he coldly stared at them

The gains from this experience will lay the foundation for my entire life! ... The rewards are immense ...! ... Although my skills may not increase, I have opened a smooth pathway for myself that leads directly upward!

On this cliff face, invisible to all, Chu Yang trembled all over, nearly losing control of himself

In the past life, although I clearly had feelings in my heart, I still insisted on severing and extinguishing those feelings. How could that possibly succeed

Having traversed the vast seas and seen through the affairs of the world, love is but indifference, and indifference is but love; in love and indifference, the essence lies in the way of heaven. Where there is humanity, there is martial way; with the martial way, one ascends to the way of heaven, and ultimately, it leads to transcendence

The young man in white, Li Jianyin, called out once more, yet there was still no response. He couldn't help but furrow his brows and said with dissatisfaction, "Has the Purple Bamboo Garden still not awakened? How is it that there isn't even a single breath to be heard?"
