Incredible Insight: Cultivating Immortality at Eight, Astonishing Zhang Sanfeng

Ning Changge looked at the thriving spirit tea growing in the cultivated soil before him, his thoughts wandering as he contemplated whether he should find a larger place.

The scripture chamber was good, but the space was a bit limited. In the future, if he needed to cultivate more spiritual items, he might run out of room.

“I’ll wait until this batch of spirit tea has matured,” Ning Changge thought, a faint smile on his lips. He watered this spirit tea with the spiritual liquid produced daily by the Mountain and River Gathering Spirit Furnace, and it was now under the influence of a time restriction, which could accelerate its growth. Soon, he would reap the rewards.

Thinking about this, Ning Changge couldn’t help but reflect, “Time restrictions are even more challenging than spatial restrictions. While I have grasped a bit of spatial restrictions, time restrictions are like the minutiae within the minutiae.”

He had tried to comprehend both types of restrictions continuously, hoping to derive time and space techniques from them. But it was incredibly difficult.

The escape technique was somewhat related to spatial techniques, but time techniques seemed completely out of reach.

In the end, he concluded: his spiritual power was too weak. It was insufficient to support techniques of this level, which might be closer to divine arts.

He gently flicked his finger, and nine drops of spiritual liquid flowed into the growing spirit tea in front of him.

Ning Changge turned and picked up a Daoist scripture, silently perusing it. His Daoist aura became even more profound.

At this point, the Daoist scriptures of the Five Great Sword Sects had mostly been assimilated into his foundation. He felt that he had a clue about the Foundation Cultivation Chapter of the Eternal Verdant Art and might be able to create it in a few days!

“Based on my calculations, once I reach the perfection stage of Qi Refinement, I should be comparable to lesser Land Immortals. As for the Foundation Establishment stage, I should be able to surpass most lesser Land Immortals. To truly become invincible in this world, I might need to reach the Golden Core stage!” Ning Changge mused.

He had never encountered Land Immortals, but during these days of discussion with Zhang Sanfeng, he had gained some insights and discerned certain things from Zhang Sanfeng’s knowledge and cultivation.

Martial cultivation had levels. The difference between the Transcendent realm and the Land Immortals was one step away but that step was extremely far apart. And even among Land Immortals, there were distinctions as well. They two were divided into three, six, or nine levels with a huge gap between each successive level. As Zhang Sanfeng had said, lesser Land Immortals had limited lifespans but boundless battle power.

Ning Changge felt that he should at least reach the perfection stage of Qi Refinement to have the qualifications to travel the world. At that point, he might not be invincible, but few would be able to harm him.

He shook his head, temporarily setting aside these thoughts.

As he continued reading the Daoist scriptures, he immersed himself fully, unaware that clusters of spiritual fire were rising and falling beside him. Ning Changge was searching for inspiration in the scripture to further develop his spiritual fire.

He held a scroll called “Cultivating True Qi: Techniques of Igniting True Fire” and continued reading. The Daoist principles were becoming increasingly intense.

“The correct technique requires the presence of an inner elixir and the pure Yang energy within it. It is also known as the True Fire … Using internal observation, Righteous Fire can eliminate the Three Corpses. Using internal observation, it can exorcise the Seven Souls. Using internal observation, it can subdue hordes of demons. Using internal observation, it can annihilate the Five Fiends. Using internal observation, it can expel the Nine Worms. Using internal observation, it can heal illnesses. Using internal observation, it can refine one’s physical form …

After some time, Ning Changge closed the scripture. His eyes were clear.

“…The Three Samadhis of True Fire, igniting the inner elixir with the Primordial Spirit, Primordial Qi, and Primordial Essence, this is the Three Samadhis.”

“With my current cultivation, it’s very difficult to control the Three Samadhis of True Fire. It’s better to take a step back and master the Primordial Qi True Fire first. This is the pure Yang!” Ning Changge concluded.

These days of reading the Daoist scriptures had brought him flashes of insight. Suddenly, he felt a surge of inspiration.

With a flash of the Five Elements Escape Technique, he appeared high in the sky, riding the wind and clouds. Ning Changge basked in the sunlight, his eyes directed at the sky.

He felt the brilliance of the sun and its pure Yang essence at its zenith.

[You’ve studied the Daoist scriptures and comprehended the Three Samadhis of True Fire, as well as observed the brilliance of the sun, gaining insights into the dominance of pure Yang. You’ve created a Daoist technique: Pure Yang True Fire!]

A smile played on Ning Changge’s lips. He extended his hand, and with a flicker of spiritual power, a spark of true fire emerged, burning brightly with a deep cyan color.

He could clearly feel that the power of this Pure Yang True Fire was several times greater than the previous spiritual fire technique he had learned.

“Excellent! Today, I’ve comprehended Pure Yang True Fire and also gained insights into the path of the Three Samadhis of True Fire. In the future, with sufficient spiritual power, I can create Divine Fire and Essence Fire, true divine arts!” Ning Changge rejoiced.

With this Pure Yang True Fire, his efficiency in refining elixirs and crafting artifacts would greatly increase, and he could even use it offensively. Furthermore, he could channel it into his Dantian and purify his spiritual power, enhancing its purity.

With this thought, Ning Changge couldn’t help but summon the Chixiao Sword. With a flash of crimson sword light, it soared into the sky, dancing and spinning in jubilation.

…

Several days later, the scripture chamber received some guests.

Ning Changge appeared before Song Yuanqiao and Zhang Cuishan, among others, with a smile. “Are my senior brothers be missing wearing your swords?”

Song Yuanqiao and the others were startled by Ning Changge’s sudden appearance, but upon hearing his words, their faces lit up.

“Have the swords been forged already?”

A few days ago, after Ning Changge had achieved the Pure Yang True Fire, he had taken all the swords of the Seven Heroes of Wudang to experiment with.

The results proved that the Pure Yang True Fire was indeed formidable. After adding some spiritual minerals and refining them with the true fire, the Heroes’ swords had undergone a transformation, becoming true magic weapons.

Strictly speaking, they could be considered semi-magic artifacts.

It wasn’t that Ning Changge was being stingy, but if he fully refined them into magic artifacts, they might become harder to control. In their current state, they possessed some magical powers while still being manageable by their wielders, greatly increasing their strength.

Ning Changge waved his hand, and the seven longswords flew out from the Na Yuan Ring one by one, landing in front of the seven heroes.

Each sword emitted a chilling radiance, with sharp edges that could easily cut through iron and stone. Without even using their true qi, these treasures could easily sever metal and sunder stone!

Placing these in Jianghu, automatically elevated them to the status of divine weapons.

“”I’m afraid it’s no less impressive than the Heaven-Defying Sword used by Mistress Miejue of the Emei Sect, which can cut through gold and jade!” Zhang Songxi couldn’t help but exclaim.

Everyone was extremely satisfied.

“Thank you, junior brother!”

Ning Changge casually waved his hand. These weapons were considered top-notch treasures among the martial arts world, but to him, they were nothing more than trifles. When the Chixiao Sword appeared, even without using spiritual power, these swords wouldn’t be able to withstand a single blow.

Observing their expressions, Ning Changge smiled and said, “I suppose you didn’t all gather here just to retrieve your swords?”

Song Yuanqiao’s expression turned serious, and he said, “We knew we couldn’t keep this from you, junior brother. Something has happened in the martial world, and the Dragon Slaying Sword has reappeared!”
