Volume 2: Entering Wu with Force Chapter 57: Primordial Spirit's Abode

  Ye Fan finished reciting the Yuanshen Jituo technique and didn't explain the profound meaning of the scripture, standing quietly there with a gloomy old face.

  Ye Xu furrowed his brow, carefully pondering the subtleties of the scriptures, striving to thoroughly grasp this mental discipline and comprehend it in his heart.

  After a long while, he slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air.

  Yuanshen Jituo Shu is a technique that embeds the Yuanshen in true energy, Gang energy, Yuan energy, Wu treasure, weapons and other objects, allowing for control over energy and objects.

  Ye Xue had been vaguely aware of his yuan Shen since he recognized it in the Wu Bei Ge, but he still didn't fully understand its function. Even after re-cultivating the pre-heavenly martial path, he still couldn't find where his yuan Shen was located.

  It wasn't until now that he realized everyone's primordial spirit was hidden in a hole called the Zi Fu at the center of their eyebrows.

  Zifu is also known as Mìnggōng, Yìntáng and Tiāntíng. It is a point corresponding to Dantian.

  The lower abdomen contains true qi and yuanqi, while the purple mansion between the eyebrows nurtures the yuan shen and jing hun.

  In ancient legend, Tian Ting is where gods and goddesses reside, and the yuan Shen resides within Tian Ting, which is only natural.

  This technique is not complicated at all. Compared with the Nine Turns of Primordial Qi and the Heavenly Cycle Star Cultivation Method, it can be said to be too simple.

  His consciousness descended into the Purple Mansion, and his vision suddenly became incredibly broad.

  His purple mansion is shaped like a palace, entering the blue sky above and the yellow spring below, with a shape like a building, and it is unknown how many layers there are.

  In the mansion, there is nothing else, only a giant ancient tree floating in the center of the purple palace, with lush branches and leaves, countless roots wandering slowly in the air, giving people a dreamlike feeling.

  That is his primordial spirit.

  The primordial spirit of the witch, outsiders cannot see clearly, only through the heart's eye can be seen, or cultivate to the legendary realm, and practice the primordial spirit into a substantial existence.

  However, people who can cultivate to this point are rare in the world. This kind of person, Ye Xu had never heard of before.

  He attempted to urge the Yuanshen Jituo technique, and saw the ancient tree slowly come to life, emerging from the Zifu, growing larger and larger, until it became roughly the same size as him, merging tightly with his physical body.

  At this moment, Ye Xu only felt that his body had become incredibly dense, with muscles, bones, meridians and tendons seemingly infused with endless power!

  His aura seemed to have come alive, lively and dynamic, spreading into the air, as if countless tentacles had emerged, even able to touch the slightest vibrations in the air!

  He opened his eyes, and his senses seemed to have been magnified countless times. Everything in front of him suddenly became incredibly vivid and clear, so that he could see the dark ripples stirred up by the fish swimming in the clear river water, the air currents blown out by the breathing leaves of the willow trees beside him, and even the tiny spores in the air!

  This feeling is unprecedented, it's using the yuan Shen to see and perceive, this is the wonder of the yuan Shen technique!

  Ye Xu walked to the riverbank and slapped his palm onto the water's surface!

  As he slapped his palm down, the air burst into the water, and all that could be seen was the water surface being blasted open with column after column of water, with a deafening roar that seemed to come from beneath his feet and extend all the way to the opposite bank of the river, as if there were ten or more explosive kegs buried underwater, exploding one after another.

  His palm strength can easily strike out over thirty meters, and his control of the vortex is also more handy.

  Ye Xue was both shocked and delighted, a surge of great confidence welling up in his heart. He thought to himself: "After my divine sense is attached to the gaseous energy, my actual strength has indeed increased several fold! Previously, my gaseous energy could only leave a shallow wound on Ye Fu's body, now I am enough to be able to twist off his head!"

  Ye Fan stood beside him, involuntarily revealing a look of surprise. The Yuanshen Jituo technique was not particularly profound, but mastering this mental method was by no means easy.

  At first, he spent nearly two months cultivating this mind method, while Ye Xu only used less than an hour!

  Ye Fan nodded slowly and said proudly: "Seventh Master, your talent is only slightly inferior to mine, but it's still not bad."

  Ye Xu nodded and said: "Senior's talent is extraordinary, naturally it can't be compared with mine."

  Ye Fan's expression didn't change, and he calmly accepted his flattery, saying: "You still need to continue practicing the Yuanshen Jituo technique. When you truly refine your Yuanshen into a Yuan, becoming a first-rate wizard of Peiyuan, I'll teach you other wizardry techniques. You can go back now!"

  Ye Xiu saluted and left, stepping on the waves. Behind him, he seemed to hear Ye Xuan's faint voice: "This pervert..."

  He turned his head and saw that the old man was muttering to himself, but he didn't know what he was cursing.

  Ye Xuheng thought to himself, "Does Ye Yun know who he's scolding? If we're talking about being abnormal, there are even more abnormal people in Liu Zhou than him... Using a Wu Shi's living soul to refine a Wu treasure..."

  After he left, Ye Yun fell into deep thought again, muttering to himself: "At the water pool of Hei Wu Ridge, his Jade Building was clearly only one story, which is the lowest grade of Yu Dan Wu Liang White Jade Building. Why did it recently become a two-story Chan Shan Wu Liang White Jade Building? Could it be that even if the seven-story Seven Star Qing Guang Han Jade Building is damaged, it can still grow?"

  He was at his wit's end and had never heard of such a thing happening before in all his years.

  "Seventh Master, in the Martial Preparation Pavilion, I examined your body and with my knowledge, I also determined that there was no possibility of saving you. Unexpectedly, just a few days later, you were able to get up and jump around again, killing people, and even possessing a Jade Building that can grow... it seems that there are many secrets on your body..."

  Returning to the Ye family's inner courtyard, Ye Xu once again carefully pondered the technique of lodging one's primordial spirit. The more he grasped the essence of this technique, the more he felt the ingenious ideas of his predecessors and the wonders of the human body.

  If he didn't come into contact with this mind method, how would he have expected that there would be a mysterious place like the Purple Mansion in the human body, and how would he have known that the Original Spirit actually resides here?

  Ye Xue repeatedly practiced the Yuanshen Jituo technique, and it became more and more handy. Only then did he put down this heart method and turned to attack Zhou Tianxing's Doulian Qi Technique and Jiuzhuan Yuangong.

  Although the yuan Shen Ji Tuoshu is wonderful, cultivation is the foundation of a witch doctor. He has not yet become a witch doctor and must soon convert his Qi into Yuan Qi to be considered as having entered the threshold of witchcraft.

  He first activated the Zhoutian Xingdou Lianqi technique, his hands transforming into various seals that drew in the power of the stars. The stellar energy was refined into a powerful aura, causing his dantian to swell and surge with energy. His cultivation advanced rapidly, and he felt an overwhelming urge to spit out the impurities within him.

  At the same time, Ye Xu began to operate the fourth turn of the Nine Turns Primordial Merit, slowly transforming the Qi in his body into Yuan Qi.

  As long as he converts all his Qi into Yuan Qi, he will successfully enter the realm of Wu Shi and become a first-class Wu Shi.

  Only by becoming a wizard would his position in the Ye family be thoroughly consolidated, and even if the high-ranking officials of the Imperial Court wanted to move him, they would have to weigh their options carefully.

  In his dantian, his aura began to condense and transform into a milky white primordial energy.

  Ye Xuan gazed at his dantian, only to see that it was vastly different from before. Previously, his dantian had been filled with a vast and majestic true energy, like a sea of clouds. But now, the true energy had vanished without a trace, replaced by an extremely pure yuanqi that blazed like fire, floating in the center of his dantian like a sea of flames, with white fierce flames rolling about.

  That two-story white jade building stood steadily in the midst of fierce flames, emitting a kind of ancient and distant charm.

  Buzz!

  The jade building shook slightly, as if it was extremely satisfied with its living environment.

  Suddenly, Ye Xu noticed a phenomenon. The yuanqi that he had painstakingly transformed in his dantian was rapidly decreasing, almost disappearing without a trace within a few breaths!

  His heart sank: "Damn it, something's gone wrong after all!"

  He had already converted nearly half of his cultivation into yuanqi, but he didn't expect that this yuanqi would suddenly disappear into thin air, without leaving a single trace behind!

  "Could it be that the Zhoutian Xingdou Lianqi Technique and the Jiuzhuan Yuangong are really conflicting, and can't be cultivated at the same time?"

  Ye Xudong calmed his mind and began to urge the fourth turn of Yuan Gong's heart method, carefully observing, only then did he realize where the problem lay, and let out a sigh of relief.

  His vital energy disappeared not because of the conflict between the Zhoutian Xingdou Lianqi technique and the Jiuzhuan Yuangong, but because when he was operating the Yuangong to refine his body, the Yuangong simultaneously and continuously drew away his vital energy to transform his physique.

  Jiuzhuan Yuangong absorbs the original energy at an extremely fast speed, and for every bit of original energy he refines, his Yuangong devours that much more, to the point where there is not even half a bit of original energy left in his dantian.

  The shortcomings of this kung fu have finally been exposed.
