Chapter 7: The Impermanence Sutra

In his mind, Tang Feng kept in mind the cultivation mantra of the first layer of the Impermanence Technique. He intended to attempt to sense the so-called spiritual energy between heaven and earth. However, just as his thoughts stirred, a slightly cool breath suddenly emanated from the space between his eyebrows, at the point known as the Yintang. This breath originated from the Yintang, passing through the Baihui, Fengfu, Fengchi, Tianzhu, Chengjiang, and continued downward, penetrating through the Tiantu, Yutang, Tanjong, and Shenque, directly rushing into the Qi Sea. It then traveled through the Zhongzhu, Mangyu, Youmen, and Shenfeng, returning to the Yintang.

As long as one possesses sufficiently strong capabilities, no one can underestimate oneself

Hahaha! Tang Feng could not help but laugh out loud a few times; this is a great opportunity! Although the ghostly deity of the Bull Head has exhausted its ten years of cultivation, the assistance it provided and the foundation it laid are sufficient to benefit him immensely

Dreaming? Tang Feng suddenly felt a rather unreal sensation

Introspection! Only when one's strength reaches a sufficiently high level can one possess the ability to control the entire state of one's body through the mind throughout one's life

However, a person who has not even reached the first level of Qi Refinement actually possesses a Qi Heart? Mo Liushu formed his Qi Heart at the third level of Qi Refinement, and the most outstanding disciple since the establishment of the Tianxiu sect also achieved a Qi Heart at the second level of Qi Refinement. Not to mention the Li Tang Empire, even if we look across the entire Tian Gang Continent, there has been no rumor of anyone possessing a Qi Heart at the first level of Qi Refinement! There are not even legends about it.

The strength of internal energy fundamentally depends on the unblocking of the meridians within the body. The cool breath that just passed through the acupoints was none other than the energy points of the Ren and Du meridians. An ordinary person in the martial world might spend a lifetime trying to open even one or two of these points, yet I just guided an energy flow along the Ren and Du meridians for a complete cycle. What does this indicate? Have I fully opened my Ren and Du meridians?

After taking a brief look at his dantian, wanting to assess his current progress in strength, Tang Feng was taken aback after just one glance

The Impermanence Technique consists of twelve levels, each with its own unique mental methods and incantations. Tang Feng can currently only perceive the mental method of the first level, and he will only be able to access the mental methods and incantations of the next level once his strength reaches a certain level.

What strength do I possess? Prior to this, Tang Feng could not even be considered a first-grade practitioner; at most, he was merely a half-grade, possessing only a rudimentary understanding of cultivation methods. Although he had just opened his acupoints and that cool aura had widened and strengthened his meridians, it did not bring any improvement to his own realm.

A hundred-foot tall building rises from the ground; what is the most important? The foundation

After patiently pondering the Impermanence Technique, Tang Feng sat cross-legged this time. Although he had not slept all night, he felt no fatigue at this moment; in fact, one could even say he was somewhat exhilarated

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Tang Feng thought for a moment and finally understood the cause and effect. The Ox Head had granted him ten years of ghostly cultivation in the underworld and had once told him that this would be beneficial for his body after reincarnation. However, Tang Feng did not expect this assistance to be so powerful

After operating for over a hundred cycles, until that aura completely dissipated, Tang Feng still felt somewhat unsatisfied

Although Tang Feng could hardly believe it, he had no choice but to accept it

The thought of "Gangxin" suddenly sprang to mind for Tang Feng! Immediately afterward, he was startled by this absurd idea.

The cultivation level of a ghostly deity after ten years is uncertain to Tang Feng, but the ability to form a core of energy before reaching the first level of refining energy, as well as to open and expand one's meridians, allows Tang Feng to imagine the sheer ferocity of the ghostly deity's cultivation.

Strength! Strength! Strength!

As he slightly focused his mind on the book, Tang Feng suddenly felt a gentle energy emanating from the skeleton, continuously flowing into his meridians, circulating endlessly along the route of the Impermanence Technique.

In a previous life, he was a remarkable talent amidst the grandeur of the Tang dynasty, yet a single act of saving someone left his lofty ambitions unfulfilled. In this life, fortunate enough to be reincarnated with memories, he must resolutely avoid any regrets again

To achieve this, one must meet three requirements to be qualified.

With a hint of disbelief, he closed his eyes again. Tang Feng once more immersed his mind in the cultivation of the Impermanence Technique. This time, the sensation was even clearer than before. That cool, shadowy aura was indeed circulating along the two main meridians, again and again, in a continuous cycle. Moreover, Tang Feng discovered that his mind could actually perceive the movement and flow of this aura, observing it with remarkable clarity, as if seen with the naked eye. Again and again, and Tang Feng found that his mind could actually perceive the movement and flow of this aura, observing it with remarkable clarity, as if seen with the naked eye.

A Sunday

It is clearly just a skeleton, yet Tang Feng still developed such an absurd feeling.

As the two major deities of the underworld, Bull-Head and Horse-Face naturally practice methods that are unsuitable for a living person like Tang Feng. If one insists on pursuing them, the only outcome will be a state of neither being human nor ghost.

Tang Feng could not help but startle, opening his eyes in astonishment

However, now, a person who has not even reached the level of refining the Qi and is merely a novice in the realm of books, unexpectedly possesses their own core of Qi, and this core is a finely crafted, exquisitely polished skull that is both lustrous and translucent

What is this? Tang Feng is on the verge of tears! The events that occurred after the operation of the Unpredictable Technique are too bizarre, far exceeding Tang Feng's imagination. First, the Ren and Du meridians were opened, then the channels were widened and reinforced, and to top it all off, a pure white skeleton unexpectedly appeared in the dantian

Within my dantian, I unexpectedly found a skeleton! A skeleton approximately the size of a thumbnail, with bones as white as jade! This skeleton is seated in a cross-legged position, its entire skeletal structure radiating a smooth luster, and its face exuding a dignified and majestic appearance

The spirit flowed within him with the coolness of this aura, as if a fish had joyfully fallen into the water. Gradually, Tang Feng noticed that this aura began to slow down and was no longer as robust as it had been at the start. However, the meridians within his body had been expanded, becoming broader and more resilient.

What is this? Although Tang Feng in his previous life did not reach the realm of cultivating internal energy, he has never eaten pork; has he never seen a pig run?

The Three Absolute Treasures of the Tang Sect: poison, hidden weapons, and mechanisms! Each one is enough to cause immense headaches for those in the martial world

When encountering the King of Hell, do not provoke the young master of the Tang Clan! This saying, "hetushucomcom," is a valuable experience summarized over countless years by people of the martial world through innumerable lives. It is also a phrase that every martial artist is repeatedly cautioned about by their mentors when embarking on journeys.

In other words, the current Tang style has still not reached the first rank of refinement.

With such a foundation, Tang Feng only needs to put in a little more effort to achieve greater rewards than others

After a night of contemplation, Tang Feng also unearthed the grand gifts that the Ox-Head and Horse-Face would present to him in the underworld. The Ox-Head bestowed upon him ten years of cultivation in the realm of spirits, while the Horse-Face provided him with a set of cultivation techniques.

Since this mental technique was bestowed by the spirits, it is likely to be quite remarkable. Moreover, as one's cultivation deepens, one can utilize some extraordinary skills. Tang Feng has not yet reached that level, and naturally cannot verify it.

However, that set of cultivation techniques was adapted by the Horse Face based on the memories of many individuals who had gone to be reincarnated, so Tang Feng had no concerns while practicing it

I will make this world understand the true meaning of the phrase, "It is better to encounter the King of Hell than to provoke a member of the Tang Sect"! Let anyone who dares to act against me repent in death for their past deeds

The Impermanence Sutra

Even in the cycle of reincarnation, I am still a disciple of the Tang Sect! I will make all my enemies aware of who can be provoked and who cannot be provoked
