Misty Canyon Volume 2 Chapter 9 The Unexpected Moment at the Last Minute

  After being scratched by the black leopard on his right shoulder, his right hand was already unable to move. He used his left hand to prop up his body, took out the medicine, and roughly treated the wound on his right shoulder before half-crawling and half-walking back to the small stone cave and sat down.

  "Hmm, although Seventh Madame isn't a thing, but this time, if it weren't for the many things she sent over, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made it till now!" Wang Guanlan's face was filled with bitter smiles. However, the various supplies that Seventh Madame had sent were indeed effective, but he only carried so much on him, and after several big battles and unexpected events, they were almost all used up now.

  "Zhu Huang Dan, Qing Ling Jie Du Dan and Jin Chuang Yao are all left with only one bottle each. I need to be frugal with them. Since I'm injured now, I'll stay here for a while to recover. Although my right hand is unusable, as long as my internal energy recovers, I can still use the Bodhi Town Knife and even the Di Zang Ben Yuan Knife. As long as I don't run around recklessly, there shouldn't be any danger!" He thought to himself, although the fate symbol had brought him a lot of trouble, but compared to the benefits he gained, it was self-evident.

  A single thought gives rise to all dharmas!!

  This was the name of the fate symbol he had obtained from Yue Haifeng, although he had only just begun to obtain this fate symbol and was far from refining it. However, the information he had gained from this fate symbol made him overjoyed.

  One thought gives rise to all Dharmas is a divine soul symbol, acting on the divine soul, even if it's just the initial stage of blood sacrifice, as long as it succeeds, it can increase the power of the divine soul by tenfold. It is precisely this tenfold increase in divine soul power that provides an opportunity for a cultivator at the Qi Refining stage to sense the divine soul power that only a cultivator at the Qi Control stage can sense.

  This opportunity is opening up the Upper Dan Tian.

  Upper Dan Tian, the abode of the divine!

  It is the belonging of the divine soul, located in the sea of marrow at the center of the eyebrows.

  In martial arts, there is a saying: "If the Sea of Marrow is not opened, the spirit and soul will not be born."

  That is to say, if the Sea of Marrow cannot be opened, then even if one senses the power of the divine soul, it cannot be used freely.

  Originally, even if one obtained this life symbol and increased their divine soul power tenfold, a Qi Refining stage warrior would still be unable to open the Sea of Consciousness. Not to mention the Qi Refining stage, even a Condensation stage warrior would find it very difficult, just like Yue Haifeng who had only initially grasped the power of his divine soul and whose Sea of Consciousness was not completely opened.

  But Wang Guanlan is different from ordinary Qi-refining cultivators. He has suddenly awakened to the Buddha's divine powers and his soul has traversed, equivalent to merging the souls of two people. The power of his soul is much more majestic than that of an ordinary person. Therefore, as soon as he made a blood sacrifice with the fate symbol, his soul power increased tenfold, immediately meeting the requirements for breaking through the Marrow Sea. For ordinary people, breaking through the Marrow Sea is a gradual process, but for him, it was a violent and forceful process. He relied on the fate symbol's explosive increase in soul power to forcibly break through the Marrow Sea, greatly increasing the danger. It can even be said that he was on the verge of death, and if not for the dozens of Bodhi Town Law Enforcement knives' knife energy being activated by him, his Marrow Sea would have been burst open, and his soul would have dissipated and perished.

  But things were just so coincidental that the town of Bodhi's law enforcement became a vent, releasing some of the spiritual energy that was enough to burst his brain sea, and he was finally safe and sound, but even so, his brain sea still suffered a certain degree of damage.

  The brain can be compared to the upper dantian. Once it is injured, the trouble will be great. It's like a martial artist who has been wounded in the dantian and qihai, causing their internal energy to dissipate. When the brain is injured, the spirit and soul will also dissipate. The dissipation of internal energy only prevents the martial artist from practicing, but it may not be fatal. However, the dissipation of the spirit and soul can be fatal.

  "With the Yuanchen Spiritual Technique, with this method of refining the soul and condensing the marrow sea, I can recover from the injury to the marrow sea within three days!" Wang Guanlan sat cross-legged in the stone cave, slowly digesting the information obtained from the fate symbol.

  "A single thought gives rise to all dharmas, the primordial spirit technique!"

  Yuanchen spiritual technique is a method of refining the soul, as a member of a noble family, Wang Guanlan naturally understands how important it is to have a method for refining one's spirit. Even if it's a low-level method, its value is equivalent to that of a precious martial art scripture, and it's priceless. Moreover, this Yuanchen spiritual technique contains the essence of the "Nian Sheng Wan Fa" mantra, which makes it even more valuable than his Arhat Breaking Precept Knife.

  Although it is unknown what level this Yuan Zhen spiritual technique is, even if it were not a spiritual technique but an observational method, he would still have made a huge profit, let alone the fact that it is indeed a spiritual technique.

  The Yuanchen Spiritual Technique is just one of the many methods implied by the phrase "One Thought Gives Rise to Myriad Laws". The most important thing about One Thought Giving Rise to Myriad Laws is not the Yuanchen Spiritual Technique, but rather the Fate Symbol itself and the symbol on it. Simply using the initial blood sacrifice can increase the power of the soul by tenfold, which is already an extremely heaven-defying thing. Moreover, as long as one continues to refine this Fate Symbol, its amplification of the soul's power will continue to increase, far surpassing that of their peers. Now, a tenfold increase in spiritual power is just the beginning. The true function of this Fate Symbol still awaits further development by Wang Guanlan.

  "I've only reached the second layer of Qi refinement, yet I've already broken through to the Sea of Marrow. This means that when I break through from the Condensing Qi realm to the Controlling Qi realm, there won't be any bottlenecks at all. As long as my internal Qi and meridians can withstand it, everything will fall into place naturally. No wonder Yue Hai Peak could sense someone approaching the cave from a distance and even use spiritual attacks. So that's how it is!"

  After Wang Guanlan had completely browsed through the Yuanchen Spiritual Technique, he finally resolved the doubts in his heart. All of these were just a technique for using spiritual power with the Yuanchen Spiritual Technique.

  He carefully comprehended the Yuanchen spiritual technique, working hard to repair the injury to his Sea of Marrow, while adapting to the explosive increase in spiritual power. This one sitting lasted for three whole days, allowing his Sea of Marrow's injury to fully recover, and also enabling him to control the explosively increased spiritual power with ease and smoothness, as if it were an extension of himself.

  "A single thought gives rise to all laws, and all laws are stored in a single thought. Unfortunately, my strength is too low, and my accumulation is too little!" After repairing the injury to his Sea of Marrow, Wang Guanlan's spiritual cultivation had reached another level, and he slowly opened his eyes. "The range of complete awareness is only 15 zhang, and the range of vague awareness is only 30 zhang... I still need to continue working hard!" He walked out of the small stone cave, twisted his body, and winced in pain as a sharp ache shot through his right shoulder. The injury on his right shoulder had not healed well, and could even be said to be very poor - it was now completely unable to move. Using his left hand, he touched his belly, looked up at the sun on top of his head, and Wang Guanlan ran to the edge of the Tiger Leaping Gorge with a bitter smile, gulped down a bellyful of water, and continued upstream along the gorge.

  Calculating the time, the Ning Wang Fu should have already resolved the trouble in the Wuyin Gorge. Although his right arm was disabled, after three days of rest, his internal energy and spirit had recovered. On that day, he rushed down from the Tiger Leaping Gorge for only half a time, so although this place is deep within the Tiger Leaping Gorge, it's not far from the safest section of the Wuyin Gorge. As long as he maintains his current speed, he believes he should be able to return to where he fell into the water before nightfall, and once there, he will be safe.

  But if everything went as smoothly as expected, there would be no unexpected events in the world. Just a little while after he left, he encountered trouble.

  After turning a bend, a steep cliff about a thousand feet high stood in front of him, blocking his way.

  "No way, do I have to swim across?!" Wang Guanlan looked at the steep cliff in front of him with a gloomy expression, then glanced at the crystal-clear Tiger Leaping Gorge, where several man-eating fish were swimming leisurely, as if waiting for their prey to arrive.

  "One hundred zhang, I have to swim a distance of one hundred zhang to get past this section of cliff wall, damn it, can only swim over!"

  Standing at the edge of the cliff for a long time, Wang Guanlan finally reluctantly came to a conclusion that he could only swim across now.

  The cliff was too high and his right hand couldn't move, so it was impossible to climb over. In that case, the hundred-meter-long riverbed was his only choice.

  Three days ago, he would never have chosen to do so, dragging a crippled arm and swimming across the river filled with piranhas for hundreds of feet, which was simply suicidal. However, times are different now, Wang Guanlan had enough confidence to deal with these strange fish, so after confirming that swimming over was the simplest and only way, he jumped into the Tiger Leaping Gorge without hesitation.

  Those strange fish in the river that had given Wang Guanlan a hard time swam over after the shockwave, opened their big mouths full of sharp teeth, and bit towards Wang Guanlan.

  "Hmm!!" Wang Guanlan let out a cold hum, and an invisible spiritual ripple spread out with his hum, shaking the surrounding area. These strange fish had sharp teeth and were fierce, but they hadn't awakened their spiritual intelligence, and their divine soul power was pitifully small. How could they withstand Wang Guanlan's suddenly increased divine soul power? Before they even got close to him, those tiny, pitiful strange fish all became dull-eyed, their bellies flipped over, and although there were no visible wounds on their bodies, their divine souls had already been destroyed by Wang Guanlan, leaving not a single thread of life.

  Seeing the strange fish flipping on his belly, Wang Guanlan let out a mouthful of bad breath, and his mood suddenly became comfortable. His movements were also much faster than before. One arm couldn't move, but it didn't affect his speed in the water. A distance of hundreds of meters was nothing to him.

  It's just as they say, "Extreme joy begets sorrow." Just when he thought he had navigated through this stretch of water and was on his way to a smooth journey, strange things started happening.

  "What is that thing?!" As he swam and swam, suddenly he felt something was off. He lifted his head to see a black dot appearing on the horizon. At first glance, it was only as big as a sesame seed, but after one breath, it grew to the size of a washbasin, and then it blocked his line of sight.

  No good!!!!!

  Subconsciously, Wang Guanlan plunged into the water in an instant.

  Splash!!

  Rumble!!

  Fortunately, the object that fell from the sky did not land on his body, but instead landed in a ravine more than 100 meters away. However, even so, the turbulent waves stirred up by the impact still swept Wang Guanlan's body far away, even out of the water surface, and crashed against the steep cliff at the edge of the ravine.

  "Ah!!!!!" Wang Guanlan was thrown out of the water by a huge shock, and his back slammed into the stone wall. Fortunately, there were waves to slow down the impact, so the collision he suffered wasn't too intense, but it still shook his internal organs. He spat out a mouthful of blood and only then did he feel a bit better.
