Chapter 133 True Martial Wall
Chapter 133 True Martial Wall
Inside the Yangxin Pavilion, Lu Ming was concentrating on circulating his internal energy and regulating his breathing when a soft knock came from outside the door.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, the sect leader requests your presence."
A young monk dressed in blue stood outside the door, his attitude kind and polite.
Lu Ming's heart stirred slightly, and he thought to himself, "Sect Leader Gu pretended not to know me before, but now he suddenly summons me. It must be related to the Martial Ancestor's inheritance. He has received too many favors from the True Martial Sect, and his heart is becoming more and more uneasy."
He quickly straightened his clothes and then followed the boy.
The two walked one after the other through several quiet corridors and hidden formations, heading deeper into the back of Zhenwu Mountain.
The scenery along the way became increasingly ancient, and the spiritual energy was so rich that it turned into rain and dew. There were almost no other disciples in sight, and the deeper one went, the more tranquil it became.
Finally, they stopped in front of a mountain wall.
The disciple took out a token and pressed it against a hidden node on the mountain wall.
Suddenly, the mountain wall rippled like water, revealing a passage just wide enough for one person to pass through.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, please. The sect leader is waiting inside." The disciple stepped aside but did not enter.
Lu Ming composed himself, stepped inside, and the passage behind him quietly closed, revealing a bright and open space before him.
This is a secluded valley surrounded by mountains. In the center of the valley, there is nothing but a huge gray-white wall that is thousands of feet high and hundreds of feet wide, like an ancient monument to heaven and earth!
As soon as Lu Ming stepped into the valley, he was suddenly shaken to his core.
In addition to the magnificent martial arts essence, there is also a vast essence of earth, surging out from the earth's dragon veins and from every inch of the stone wall!
This is the original earth spirit energy of the Zhenwu Mountain dragon vein, the pure earth element essence that the Martial Ancestor used to activate the earth's dragon vein with his supreme martial arts, which has been accumulating for tens of thousands of years.
On the giant wall, natural patterns form countless mysterious designs, some like a god punching open the sky and creating the earth, and others like dragons and snakes dancing and stirring up the wind and clouds.
The vast and profound meaning of martial arts permeates all directions; it is a call originating from the source of life and power.
The sect leader, Gu Yingtian, stood with his hands behind his back on the jade platform in front of the wall.
His figure was as small as dust compared to the giant wall, yet his aura seemed to be one with the giant wall.
Upon seeing Lu Ming arrive, he turned around with a warm smile on his face.
"Young friend Lu, how are you feeling?" Gu Yingtian asked directly without exchanging pleasantries.
Lu Ming bowed solemnly:
"This junior greets the sect master. The martial arts essence here is as vast as the sea, and there is also a powerful earth elemental energy that inspires awe and makes the five elements involuntarily agitated."
Gu Yingtian smiled slightly, "Young friend Lu, there's no need for such formalities. Elder Pojun said long ago that you have received the true teachings of the Martial Ancestor and are already in a master-disciple relationship with him."
"If we're really talking about seniority, you're Po Jun's junior brother, which puts you at a higher level than me."
"With my limited cultivation, how dare I say such a thing? Sect Leader Gu, please don't be so joking," Lu Ming said with an awkward smile.
"Young friend, it has only been a few months since we last met, but your cultivation has improved greatly. Moreover, judging from your aura, I can see that you have the aura of the Heavenly Dao bestowed upon you. It seems that you have a different destiny in the Tian Shu Ruins." Gu Yingtian said with admiration in his eyes.
"By the way, how did you explain your martial arts skills to your fellow disciples?" Gu Yingtian asked again.
"I only said that I was seriously injured in a fight near Wuling City, and then I was helped by an elder of the Zhenwu Sect who taught me the techniques to forge my body," Lu Ming replied.
Gu Yingtian pondered for a moment, "Alright, as long as we don't reveal the Martial Ancestor's secrets."
Gu Yingtian pointed to the giant wall in front of him and revealed the true purpose of bringing him here:
"This is the foundation upon which our Zhenwu Sect stands, the Zhenwu Wall. Legend has it that this is where the Martial Ancestor attained enlightenment, and his original essence is imprinted here."
"And this core ancestral origin area, in addition to the martial ancestor's inheritance, also contains the essence of the dragon vein and earth energy of the entire Zhenwu Mountain."
There are two main reasons why I brought you here.
"Firstly, you have received the true teachings of the Martial Ancestor and bear the karma of the Martial Ancestor. Coming here to comprehend the origin can help you prove your path in martial arts."
"Secondly, once you reach the Five Elements and Three Flowers Realm of Martial Arts, the five elements of heart fire, liver wood, spleen earth, lung metal, and kidney water all need to absorb the five elements' energy to achieve perfection."
"Of the five elements of martial arts, earth is the central element, bearing the other four. If the earth element is not stable, the five elements cannot be in harmony, and the three flowers cannot gather."
"I brought you here today to use the essence of this earth spirit that has been here for thousands of years to help you absorb the earth energy of your spleen to perfection and solidify the most important foundation of your Five Qi Realm."
Lu Ming was startled, but felt increasingly embarrassed, as he owed the Zhenwu Sect too many favors.
The reason for this summons from Sect Master Gu is specifically to help him improve his shortcomings in martial arts training.
Among the five elements, the spleen (earth) occupies the central position, like the earth bearing all things, and is the foundation of qi, blood, internal organs, and the physical body.
"Last time you were eager to return, and you had only just entered the threshold of the Five Qi. Now that your cultivation has improved, you have the foundation to support the Five Qi. You can take this opportunity to replenish your Spleen Earth Qi first," Gu Yingtian said.
Lu Ming bowed again, his tone sincere: "This junior has received a great favor from the Zhenwu Sect. Such a generous gift is beyond my ability to repay."
Gu Yingtian waved his hand and said, "I told you long ago that there's no need for such formalities. Now that you have inherited the Martial Ancestor's legacy, you are family. Moreover, the fortune you have brought to the True Martial Sect far exceeds your imagination. You can accept all of this with equanimity."
"You should calm down and contemplate, first absorb the essence of the earth spirit to perfect the earth energy of your spleen, and then comprehend the true meaning within the wall. How much you gain depends entirely on your own destiny."
"Remember, do not force things, do not lose your way, and verify your own path."
Having said that, Gu Yingtian's figure faded like ink in water, disappearing silently, leaving only his lingering voice:
"This place is safe and undisturbed. When you wish to leave, simply communicate with the jade talisman in your bosom."
In the valley, only Lu Ming remained, facing the vast True Martial Wall and the boundless essence of earth.
He walked to the blue boulder in front of the giant wall and sat down cross-legged.
The giant rock is warm to the touch, connected to the earth's dragon veins. Once you sit on it, your mind and spirit will be completely calmed, and you will become one with the rhythm of the valley.
Lu Ming stopped trying to observe the patterns on the wall and instead focused on circulating the Xuanwu True Skill to guide and absorb the earth energy of the dragon vein.
At the very moment the cultivation technique was activated, the abundant primordial earth spirit essence in the valley, as if drawn by a force, surged into his body!
The yellowish-brown earth elemental energy flowed wildly through the meridians and internal organs.
The earth's energy from the dragon vein continuously flows into the spleen, muscles and bones, and the foundation of qi and blood.
The originally weak spleen qi became strong at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Earth is the center, which carries and generates all things.
The dragon veins and earth energy converge here, and the earth spirit energy is extremely concentrated, so Lu Ming can absorb it very quickly.
After about several hours, Lu Ming suddenly felt a jolt in his chest.
The Qi of the Spleen Earth has been fully realized!
Instantly, the five elements found a stabilizing force: the heart fire was calm, the liver wood was not wild, the lung metal was not harsh, and the kidney water was not cold, thus ensuring a stable circulation of the five elements.
Lu Mingxin was mentally clear, allowing his qi, blood, five elements, and Dao foundation aura to naturally emanate and merge with the True Martial Wall.
When he unconsciously and silently activated the first chapter of the Golden Scroll, a sudden change occurred!
Deep within his sea of consciousness, golden runes shone brightly, and a surge of Daoist energy rose into the sky!
The giant rock beneath them rumbled, and the silent Zhenwu Wall before them was instantly awakened by the golden talisman's Daoist aura!
The ancient patterns on the wall lit up one by one, with the giant phantom in the center of the wall shining the brightest!
A vast will resonated strongly with Lu Ming's aura and the Daoist essence of the Golden Scroll!
On one side is the source of the Golden Register's legal principle of "chaos originating from the beginning, existence and non-existence arising from each other."
On one side is the Martial Ancestor, whose power is at its peak, breaking through laws with force and carrying the Dao with martial arts.
The two complement and corroborate each other at the fundamental level, and the ultimate martial arts also point directly to the root of the Great Dao!
Under the constant resonance, several ancient patterns on the Zhenwu Wall soared into the air and intertwined, transforming into a deep golden phantom.
This is the seventh chapter of the Golden Register, the Chapter on the Transformation and Sublimation of Profound Mystery!
This article focuses on the origin of the physical body, the internal organs and spiritual treasures, and the potential of life. It is highly consistent with the Xuanwu True Skill. It is clear that the Martial Ancestor also comprehended the Great Dao from the remnants of the Golden Scroll!
The illusory image of the chapter swirled, directly imprinting the supreme mystery of using the physical body as a raft for crossing the world into Lu Ming's soul.
With his physical body as the foundation and the profound essence of enlightenment as the catalyst, Lu Ming underwent earth-shattering changes within his body:
Lu Ming frantically absorbed the earth spirit and the spiritual light from the wall, further advancing his Xuanwu True Body.
The internal organs circulate with divine light, awakening deeper potential.
The resonance of the immortal sword fragments in his dantian was stronger, and his Dao foundation became more and more stable.
After an unknown amount of time, the illusory image of the golden talisman faded and merged into the True Martial Wall and Lu Ming's sea of consciousness.
Lu Ming stood up, his five elements becoming more harmonious, his internal organs radiating a divine light, and his every move exuding an indescribable aura.
With the earth element complete and the five elements established, he has gained access to the profound mysteries of the Golden Register. This opportunity has exceeded Lu Ming's expectations!
He bowed deeply before the Zhenwu Wall, expressing his gratitude for this supreme blessing.
He then communicated with the jade talisman through his mind.
With a slight movement in the space, Gu Yingtian's figure reappeared.
His gaze swept over Lu Ming, and his eyes flashed with astonishing brilliance as he exclaimed in admiration.
"Excellent, truly a perfect balance of earth and earth, a foundation of the five elements! Excellent resonance of the golden talisman, manifestation of the ancestral wall!" Gu Yingtian's tone was full of shock and satisfaction. "Young friend Lu, your good fortune is truly incredible."
"Earth is the foundation. Your five elements are now firmly established. Your future cultivation will be smooth sailing."
"The profound mysteries of the incomplete Golden Scroll are hidden in the True Martial Wall. Over thousands of years, only I and one of my disciples have comprehended them. But it took me several years to comprehend them, and you managed to comprehend them in just a few hours!"
Lu Ming bowed and said, "This junior is just lucky. Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master."
Gu Yingtian waved his hand, his smile warm: "This is something you and I know, there's no need to spread it around."
"Can you tell me how you were able to comprehend it in just a few hours?" Gu Yingtian couldn't help but ask.
"Actually, it wasn't something I comprehended myself. Rather, it was the first chapter of the Golden Scroll I received from the Tian Shu Ruins that resonated with the True Martial Wall," Lu Ming said truthfully.
"What!? You actually obtained the first chapter of the Golden Scroll!" Even someone as great as Gu Yingtian was stunned.
