Chapter 11: The Reversal of the Wheel of Fortune

  Shi Dong stretched out his hand and touched out the secret book "Mai Lun Zhuan Sha Shen Gong", turning it over page by page to read carefully.

  He didn't know many characters, but the Mo Xian Men had already taken into account that some new disciples had a poor foundation in reading and writing. Therefore, at the end of the secret book, there was also a small booklet on reading and writing for reference.

  Although it was difficult to read, the content was written in a straightforward manner. After spending several days of effort, Shi Dong finally thoroughly understood the practice method of the entire set of skills.

  This Mysterious Wheel Turning Evil Spirit Skill is the number one evil skill in the world, unlike Taoist cultivation that requires absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth, or Buddhist meditation that relies on contemplation. Its cultivation method uses the seven major meridians opened up in the human body to absorb yin energy from the outside world, which is then converted into evil energy and stored inside.

  It is called Zhuan Lun Zhuan Sha Shen Gong.

  Originally, everyone has seven major energy centers on their body, distributed from the top of the head to the bottom along the central meridian, which are - Crown Chakra, Third Eye Chakra, Throat Chakra, Heart Chakra, Solar Plexus Chakra, Sacral Chakra and Root Chakra.

  Also corresponds to the seven Po of the three Hun and seven Po: Tian Chong Po, Ling Hui Po, Qi Po, Li Po, Zhong Shu Po, Jing Po and Ying Po.

  According to the theory of Hun and Po, Tian Chong Po is located at the top wheel, in charge of controlling internal energy, so it can make the practitioner control magic; Ling Hui Po is located at the eyebrow heart wheel, in charge of spirit; Qi Po is located at the throat wheel, leading the yuanqi inhalation and exhalation; Li Po is located at the heart wheel, in charge of strength; Zhong Shu Po is located at the navel wheel, in charge of physical solidity; Jing Po is located at the Dan Tian wheel, in charge of cultivation; Ying Po is located at the Hai Di wheel, in charge of body method and speed.

  It seems that this set of divine skills actually opens up the seven major energy centers in the human body, and then absorbs the same yin energy as the soul from the outside world, enters the body to refine it into true qi.

  The Shifu's divine powers are based on the different functions of the seven major chakras, specifically divided into power divine powers, law divine powers, mind divine powers, auxiliary divine powers and so on.

  Understanding all this, Shi Dong seemed to see a picture scroll unfolding before his eyes that he had never seen before. Inside was a new world where one could cultivate immortality and achieve eternal life.

  Her eyes sparkled, her heart racing, as she read the ancient manual of cultivation techniques. She thought to herself: "Who would have thought that cultivating immortality could be so wonderful? Once I break through the first level of Qi refinement, I'll be able to start using my internal energy and learn all sorts of magical abilities. Hmm, let's see... it says here that once I break through the first level of Qi refinement, I'll be able to wash my marrow and exchange my bones for new ones, increasing my lifespan by 50 years."

  "Wow, 50 years! That's over 100 years if you add them together. That's even longer than the oldest person in our village!" Shi Dong exclaimed in surprise.

  He was stunned for a while, and then continued to read: "After the 12th layer of the Refining Qi period, you can build the foundation. Once successful, your lifespan will increase by 150 years!" His heart skipped two beats, thinking that an increase in lifespan of 150 years is what kind of concept? Isn't it that a person can live to be over 200 years old?!

  By then, my cultivation will be as powerful as Bai Jing's! I can even create a mysterious black flag of my own. With just one wave of my hand, a group of ghostly shadows will emerge and the cultivators of Ling Xiang Sect will be killed until they're left trembling with fear, won't that be exhilarating?!

  For a moment, Shi Dong was so excited that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and quickly continued reading down. Suddenly, he was shocked to the point where his eyes were wide with wonder, "This... after building the foundation and then breaking through, one can achieve the Golden Elixir, and their lifespan will increase by 500 years, that would mean... that would mean reaching the realm of Master!"

  "Good heavens! With this calculation, Shouyuan's lifespan has increased by 500 years. A person can actually live to be nearly 800 years old... Isn't this being a demigod?"

  The stone moved in his mind, rumbling and resonating, as if he saw the scene of the five great gates opening their qualifications again - the five gate masters appeared with a majestic momentum, and various great divine powers only revealed a scale or a claw, which had already shocked the world.

  "I must cultivate immortality! Only by becoming an immortal can I let my mother and sister live a good life, and let myself no longer be looked down upon!" Shi Dong's eyes lit up, and he clenched his fist tightly.

  From this moment on, thirteen-year-old Shidong finally made a solemn vow that for the rest of his life he would pursue the great path of immortality, without regrets.

  ……

  With great enthusiasm, he held the mysterious scripture of divine work, repeatedly reciting it until he fully understood its meaning. Shi Dong took a deep breath in, and slowly exhaled, first calming his mind and quieting his spirit.

  A moment later, he jumped down and walked slowly around the stone table on the ground in accordance with the way of practicing Gongfa. He swung his fists and kicked his legs while walking, and from time to time, he pounded the seven major meridians on his body, making a loud noise.

  Gradually, his face turned rosy and radiant, his eyes sparkled, and even his breath seemed to carry a warm temperature. The seven major chakras on his body slowly emerged, emitting a dark red glow through his clothes.

  "Hi!"

  Suddenly excitedly shouting loudly, Shi Dong raised his hand and took off his outer garment, wearing only a pair of shorts.

  At this time, his whole body was steaming with heat, and the seven major meridians appeared on the surface of his body, slowly rotating in a strange and mysterious way.

  Shi Dong's expression turned grave and abnormal, he crouched down into a horse stance, one hand pointing to the sky and the other to the ground, let out a low hum, his entire body's muscles tensed up in an instant.

  Hmph!

  A faint disturbance in the air, as if a faint breath was entering his throat wheel from all around, the throat wheel suddenly lit up and began to rotate rapidly. Immediately afterwards, passing through the throat wheel and down, from the heart wheel, navel wheel to the dan Tian wheel, the pulse wheels turned red and shone brightly, rotating rapidly.

  After circling around the Dan Tian wheel for a few rounds, that strand of light gray gas reached the tail vertebrae sea bottom wheel. After the same pulse wheel rotation, it slowly moved up along the spine to the top of the head.

  Shi Dong's body trembled all over, his eyes shining brightly, especially when the gray aura reached the brow wheel, the light in his eyes became even more dazzling.

  After staying here for a moment, the breath descended again to the Dan Tian wheel. At this time, the gray color of the breath faded slightly and instead merged with a hint of blood color, presenting a beautiful blood-silver color.

  Thus repeated for three weeks, the breath finally turned into a dark grey colour and entered the dan tian wheel, never to emerge again.

  Shi Dong's face showed surprise as he stood up, originally he had followed the Mo Xing Zhuan Sha Shen Gong, attempting to complete a cycle of work. He absorbed strands of yin energy from the outside into his body, then used the seven major meridians to stimulate the blood and energy, refining and purifying the yin energy, finally forming Sha True Energy stored in the Dan Tian.

  The Kuiwu Gate's technique was so bizarre that Shi Dong hadn't expected it, and throughout the entire process, he seemed to see seven bright red suns appearing inside his body, constantly rotating and transforming the gray energy that had entered his body into a wondrous thread of true Qi.

  What surprised him even more was that this set of the world's number one magic, was a set of dynamic work, not like the Taoist or Buddhist practice of meditation, it required the practitioner's body to move in a certain rhythm, first stimulating the internal energy and blood circulation, and then absorbing the surrounding yin energy into the body.

  Otherwise, without the vigorous Qi and blood circulation, simply absorbing Yin energy into the body will cause a person to be frozen stiff, and their consciousness will also be affected by Yin, which is extremely dangerous.

  Such a bold and innovative technique couldn't help but make Shi Dong admire the ancestors of the Demon Slaughter Sect who created it.

  He carefully examined his body and found nothing uncomfortable, but instead felt invigorated and full of energy. His whole body was filled with strength, and he had already gained obvious benefits from just one practice session, which made him both surprised and delighted.

  "Since this Marrow-Washing Life-Death Kung Fu is a set of dynamic exercises, while practicing the true energy of life and death, it can also cultivate the body. I'll try to see if my strength has increased a bit?"

  He crouched down, his hands embracing a boulder the size of a millstone, and with a sudden burst of strength, he felt his heart chakra spinning, a surge of energy born from his heart, and the boulder, weighing over a hundred kilograms, slowly lifted off the ground.

  "Good boy......" He couldn't help but exclaim.

  The result was that a mouthful of true energy relaxed, and the power emitted from the heart wheel disappeared instantly. The stone pedestal fell to the ground with a loud crash.

  "Wow! No wonder the Mo Xie Men cultivators are more powerful than those from Ling Xiao Sect! This cultivation method is indeed profound, allowing for dual cultivation of both body and technique. Impressive! Impressive!" Shi Dong couldn't help but praise in his heart, immediately recalling the "Dual Cultivation of Body and Technique" mentioned in the secret manual, and he couldn't help but feel extremely delighted.

  It turns out that most demonic cultivation methods are unmatched in their overbearing nature, and while they also focus on cultivating magical powers, they also emphasize the importance of physical training, and the results can be seen quickly. However, the downside is that the foundation is unstable, and when breaking through bottlenecks, one faces even greater obstacles than with orthodox cultivation methods, and the possibility of going berserk is even higher.

  So, the demon cultivators are indeed individually powerful, but their mortality rate is also much higher than that of orthodox cultivists. It's a cultivation path where great danger and great divine abilities coexist.

  Shi Dong was unaware of this at the moment, and was only immersed in the joy of his body becoming stronger. He thought to himself that the Demon Slaughter Sect was indeed formidable, and that he had already undergone a transformation after just opening up his meridians and practicing his skills once.

  If you persist in practicing and break through to the Refining Qi stage, how powerful will that be?

  Overjoyed, Shi Dong was about to take advantage of the situation when he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen. The thread of True Qi that had been stored inside his lower abdomen began to stir restlessly, and at the same time, the seven major meridians also felt a burning, piercing pain.

  "Oh no, oh no, what's happening?" Shi Dong winced in pain, his whole body trembling, and beads of sweat the size of peas suddenly appeared on his forehead, before he collapsed to the ground.

  He inadvertently glanced at his left hand, which made him even more shocked and numb all over, his heart racing wildly, only to see a glowing picture emerging from the palm of his hand.

  "This... this strange thing, could it be what that old madman left behind?" Shi Dong's heart skipped a beat as he hastily leaned in to take a closer look.
