Chapter 8 Lunar Sun
At this moment, the morning glow shines from the east, the bright red sun leaps over the horizon, and the pale golden sunlight spills down, shimmering on the water's surface. Occasionally, ordinary fish leap out of the water, splashing up a wave.
Yang Changsheng opened the first page of the "Nine Revolutions of the Sun and Moon Forging Scripture". The ancient and difficult-to-understand text and mysterious rune patterns seemed to exude a wild and primitive atmosphere.
He carefully studied the essentials of cultivation, especially the methods for forming the "Sun Kalpa Seal" and the "Moon Kalpa Seal," as well as the key to visualizing the red sun and silver moon in his sea of consciousness.
As a genuine graduate of an industrial university, his comprehension ability was naturally quite strong, and he quickly grasped the first level of the technique.
If the description of the cultivation method is true, the intensity and danger of the cultivation process of this ancient body-refining technique are enough to deter any normal cultivator.
"You can gain strength by enduring hardship, and live a carefree life in the future. Is there really such a good thing..."
Yang Changsheng's fingertips brushed across the yellowed pages, but a smile that was hard for others to understand appeared on his lips.
As a cog in that machine, I've been through hardship since childhood and I'm used to it. If I were to suddenly enjoy happiness, I really wouldn't be able to adapt.
Let's begin!
After reviewing the content in his mind again, he intertwined and overlapped his ten fingers in a mysterious way, forming the Sun Tribulation Seal for daytime cultivation.
boom!
The moment the seal was formed, a crimson radiance, imperceptible even to divine sense, descended from the sky, accompanied by unimaginable scorching heat.
"hiss……"
Yang Changsheng felt a sharp pain, and then felt a faint burning sensation on his fingertips, as if he had grasped an invisible flame.
Gritting his teeth, he immediately focused his mind and tried his best to visualize a bright red sun, as red as blood, illuminating all things in the sky!
At first, it was very difficult. The outline of the red sun in my mind was blurry and distorted, sometimes gathering and sometimes dispersing, unable to take shape.
But as his mind focused, the blazing fireball finally stabilized in the void of his consciousness, radiating boundless light and heat.
Just as the outline of the blazing sun became clear and stable, strands of indescribable, terrifying heat seemed to be forcibly drawn down from beyond the heavens.
It ignored the barrier of clothing on his body and forcefully poured into his body.
This power is not warm; it is fiery and domineering.
"Bang!"
Yang Changsheng trembled violently, as if he had been thrown into a huge furnace for forging divine iron. His skin instantly turned red like a branding iron, and his flesh felt as if countless hot steel needles were piercing and burning it.
It makes a tiny, teeth-grinding "sizzling" sound.
Even more terrifying is the internal meridians, the channels nourished by magical power, which are like a dried-up riverbed being poured with scalding magma, tearing apart inch by inch, causing excruciating pain.
The intense pain made my vision go black, and I almost had to immediately stop the visualization and release the hand mudra.
However, he clenched his teeth and kept his mind clear.
The large beads of sweat that had just seeped out of his pores were instantly vaporized by the high temperature on his body, forming a layer of misty white fog around him. His body trembled violently and uncontrollably, and every muscle spasmed in pain.
"Buzz!"
Just as Yang Changsheng felt his consciousness was about to be swallowed up by the burning pain, the dazzling golden ancient tree mark deep within his sea of consciousness reacted once more.
A wisp of pure, cool energy, imbued with the breath of life, flowed slowly from the sea of consciousness, like a stream thawing in early spring, and quickly spread to every part of the body.
Where this life-giving force passed, the flesh and veins that had been scorched, cracked, and nearly collapsed by the sun's essence began to repair, nourish, and heal at an alarming speed, like rain after a long drought.
"This is truly agonizing..."
Yang Changsheng murmured to himself, the power of life force had little effect on his spirit. Although it was weakened, it was still very painful, but it was within his tolerance.
The first time he underwent the Sun Tribulation cultivation, it lasted less than a quarter of an hour. Yang Changsheng collapsed onto the deck, utterly exhausted, as if he had just been pulled out of the water and thrown into a fire.
"call……"
He was panting heavily, and every inch of his flesh was convulsing uncontrollably.
Fortunately, the life force brought by the Golden Ancient Tree Mark did not stop, continuing to nourish his damaged body and not affecting his lifespan.
After resting for half an hour, Yang Changsheng began to circulate the Xuan Yuan Technique again, using his water spirit root to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Biyue Lake area for cultivation. He did this every day without fail, cultivating for four hours.
The process was not painful at all; on the contrary, it was very comfortable, as if I were soaking in a hot spring.
"No wonder the ancient body cultivation path became a low-level practice; very few people could endure such hardship."
After finishing his Qi refining cultivation, Yang Changsheng opened his eyes, calmed the magical power in his dantian, and felt inexplicably unsatisfied.
Compared to spiritual cultivation and the practice of taking medicine and breathing exercises, physical cultivation is truly a form of torture, giving one the feeling of having to endure something without suffering.
However, the benefits were also great. In just half an hour of cultivation, he could clearly feel the increase in his physical strength, which far exceeded the increase in his magical power.
"What a fulfilling life!"
The immortal body can naturally abstain from grains. After practicing water control several times as usual, Yang Changsheng went into the cabin for a light nap to relax his mind.
In the path of cultivation, there is a balance between exertion and relaxation. Although the current cultivation time may be increased to six hours, there is still half the time to rest, so it does not reach the level of working without rest.
As long as this is the case, it is still within his acceptable range.
……
At night, a bright moon hangs high, casting silvery light. Tiny clouds swirl around, and a light drizzle, full of spiritual energy and vitality, falls. The crystal shrimp in the five acres of water swim happily.
"Come, Moonlight!"
Yang Changsheng sat cross-legged, glanced at the starry sky and the bright moon, took a deep breath and exhaled, quickly calming his mind.
With his hands clasped together, the Moon Tribulation Seal was formed. In his sea of consciousness, the outline of a cold and aloof silver moon slowly emerged, its silvery radiance cascading down into the void.
The essence of Taiyin is extremely Yin and extremely cold.
When the first wisp of invisible Yin energy was drawn into his body, Yang Changsheng felt his blood instantly congeal, become lifeless and frozen, and his soul was invaded...
Half an hour later, the Moon Tribulation cultivation ended, and Yang Changsheng lay stiffly on the deck like an ice sculpture just pulled from a glacier.
He clenched his teeth, making a grinding sound, and his body was covered in ice crystals.
It was only under the slow nourishment of the life force flowing from the mark of the golden ancient tree that it recovered to its original state.
The torment of being subjected to both ice and fire would likely have caused any ordinary cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining to give up in less than two breaths.
This ancient body-forging technique is not something ordinary people can cultivate; it's a dead end.
"Actually, it feels quite comfortable..."
A smile appeared on Yang Changsheng's face. His physical strength had increased by half a percent after only two cultivation sessions, a speed that was incredibly astonishing.
If you continue cultivating like this, your Body Refining Technique will soon surpass the second level of Qi Refining, becoming a true trump card for protecting your path!
