Chapter Fifty-Nine: Again Through the Mysterious Gate

  Yang Hao and his group left the real estate company, it was already past 1 pm. With nothing to do, they went to the mall to buy some clothes and daily necessities. Yunxue and Zilei also bought some cosmetics separately, then drove Yang's Jeep towards Yiyang Shu's home.

  "Perfect timing.... Ah Hao, I specially tailored two sets of kung fu for you, go inside and try them out..."

  "Master, what...what is this? Is it really that simple?"

  "Haha... the truth is not complicated, but it seems mysterious to ordinary people. It's just a few words, but those who understand will get it, while those who don't will be confused. Let's see your wisdom..." Yu Deng and Yu Zhuo followed Master's instructions and took Yang Hao to a relatively sealed room in the underground chamber... The entire room had only 4 palm-sized ventilation holes... No lights, even during the day it was pitch black...

  "Junior brother~~ Master has been worrying about your matter for 3 days and nights, you must practice diligently. Master asked me to remind you that if you succeed in practicing, not only will you be able to move freely, but your entire body will undergo a very mysterious change. So let you focus on cultivating, if you don't succeed within 7 days, Master is prepared to let you break free from the yin evil fate and stay away from ghosts and evil spirits."

  "It's that serious???? Only 7 days to practice 2 functions??? If I don't make it, how am I going to get by in the future??? A dull life is definitely not for me..." Yang Hao said with a gloomy face.

  "Alright, junior brother, you can work hard now... We're going up..." Yu Deng Yu Zhuo said after finishing speaking, nodded his head at Yang Hao and then closed the door and walked out.

  Yang Hao walked a few laps in this room, the room was not big, the floor was made of cement, flat and smooth. The walls around were surprisingly made of marble, standing in the middle of the house could only see through 4 air vents to see the weak light... Following this light, Yang Hao opened the two papers given to him by his master.

  The first paper reads: "One glance to concentrate the spirit, two glances for the energy to ascend, three glances for the energy to transform into an image, four glances to open up spiritual awareness. Gaze inward to capture the soul. Observe the internal organs. When calm, even ghosts and spirits become clear."

  "I'm dizzy... Master is giving me a riddle, isn't he??? What's this... confusing....." Yang Hao muttered helplessly after looking at the mysterious words and then opened the second chapter of paper.

  The content is also just one sentence: With a peaceful and calm mind, the will transforms into a golden body, with a body within the body, which can be observed in its form. When the will moves, the energy moves, when the energy moves, the body moves. The physical body is also moving, but the mind is reversed, thinking that it is moving. The energy surrounds and nourishes the body, filling its shape, and when the empty body moves, both the empty and solid bodies move together.

  "Master ah~~~ Are you teasing me?? What is this?? It's moving sometimes and not moving at other times, and then it's all moving... Yang Hao scratched his head with his hand, repeatedly staring at this mysterious-looking technique, his head was about to explode..."

  Suddenly, Yang Hao saw a line of small words under the second sheet of paper.

  "Yang Hao's little apprentice, these two methods are not methods, but rather enlightenment of the mind. Enlightenment of the mind is not to be thought about with the brain, but only to be measured with the heart. Let go of distracting thoughts, don't stop in your mouth, have a realization in your heart, dispel confusion, and the method will be accomplished..."

  "It seems to be the master's own understanding... This thing is indeed a precious and rare technique..." Yang Hao suddenly felt that his master was truly selfless, and this made him feel a surge of reverence and love in his heart. Many people who have practiced know that there are countless techniques, and it's not hard to learn them... But how many people can actually succeed? Without the guidance of a wise teacher, one will either become lost in emptiness or fall into madness. Only when the master finds someone worthy of passing on their legacy will they reveal their understanding in detail, like a bright lamp that guides one directly to the destination. This shows just how important this understanding is."

  The above two sentences are not false, but the actual experience of the author's specific kung fu practice. If there is no enlightened master, please do not practice randomly.

  Yang Hao carefully savored his master's two sentences, not to be thought about with the brain, but only to be measured with the heart, casting aside miscellaneous thoughts, mouth not stopping... Thinking of this, Yang Hao's mouth began to murmur the content, but in his mind there was no thought at all, just a quietness.

  "3 days have passed, and I don't know if Ah Hao can see through the mystery..." Yi Yang Shu said with a hint of worry. He had already made up his mind: if Yang Hao really succeeded in 7 days, he would teach him all his skills. If Yang Hao couldn't reach his goal, Yi Yang Shu would find a way to make him give up his dark profession and become an ordinary person again, erasing all memories, including those of himself, Hu Tou Zi Lei, and everyone else's experiences. This was also Yi Yang Shu's most conflicted place: he liked this disciple very much, but if he couldn't succeed, he absolutely didn't want to let Yang Hao take risks again, even if it meant painfully cutting ties and making him lose everything to become an ordinary person again. If he succeeded, that would be the best...

  "Zi Lei, Hu Tou... you two come here~~~~" Yi Yang Shu suddenly seemed to think of something and called the two over to his side.

  "Master Yiyang, what's going on?" Master Yiyang looked at the tiger-headed speaker, then at Ziliu, and slowly said.

  "You two were originally animal immortals, and it's already not easy to have cultivated to this point. Although you've transformed into human form, your progress is still as slow as before. You know, why animals that have cultivated for hundreds or thousands of years can't surpass those high-level cultivators who have only cultivated for decades?

  Hutou and Zilei looked at each other in confusion, this was indeed a question. Calculating by the time spent cultivating, Hutou had already cultivated for several hundred years, while Zilei had been cultivating for an even longer period of over a thousand years. Yet, humans' lifespan is only around 100 years or so. But when encountering high-level cultivators, they would still fall short, which was indeed puzzling."

  "Human life may be short, but it is the essence of heaven and earth. A person's 10 years of cultivation can compare to an animal's 200 years, and a person's 50 years of cultivation can surpass an animal's thousand years. But this still refers to ordinary people; if we're talking about geniuses, then 10 years of effort can already surpass the thousand-year cultivation of the Purple Tears. This is where the key lies..."

  "Master Yiyang, just say it directly if you have something on your mind..." Hu Tou asked somewhat anxiously.

  "Nowadays in modern society, it's rare to see two people who have cultivated human form. My acquaintance with you two is also a kind of fate. So I want to advise you two: if you want to make progress, you must break away from the animal cultivation method and instinct. Start practicing the orthodox Taoist alchemy, you two have already achieved small success, if you start practicing my Xian's Hunyuan Danfa now, you will definitely achieve rapid progress."

  Hutou and Zilei were both stunned. They were shocked by Yiyang Shu's words. To be honest, these two people knew each other well, and in Yiyang Shu's eyes, they were just two demons. Now, however, he was going to lead them onto the right path, cultivate the Heaven and Earth Mixed Yuan Qi, practice the Human Dao, and obtain the Heavenly Dao. How could they not be excited?

  "Master is above, please accept the disciple's bow..." Zi Lian's head was intelligent, and as soon as Master Yang's voice fell, she bowed slightly and presented a cup of tea to pay respects.

  "This... how can this make Ah Huo a master? Master, why are you doing this?" Tiger Head asked in confusion, because no matter what kind of expert, they would not easily pass on their skills, let alone to a demon.

  "It's nothing, I just wanted you all to look more like individuals and completely sever your ties with the You identity..."

  "Hu Tou pays respects to Master... Hu Tou is indeed a man, once he understands, he will not look back. At this time, Yi Yang Shu looked at the two people in front of him with a smiling face, savoring the tea of worship. In fact, in Yi Yang Shu's heart, doing so was still for his own little disciple Yang Hao... After the worship, Yi Yang Shu began to teach the two people. First, he abolished Hu Tou and Zi Lei's cultivation and their true bodies, Tian Gen. Next, he taught them how to expel the evil energy from their bodies and absorb the pre-heavenly mixed yuan energy. Although the two people were a bit reluctant, thinking about the future, they still followed Yi Yang Shu's arrangement, learning everything seriously. Yi Yang Shu also got rid of his anxious waiting, and Hu Tou and Zi Lei now had new life."

  But Yang Hao didn't know that he had been hitting his head in the basement for 3 days. Except for his eyes being much brighter than before and being able to vaguely see auras, there was no significant progress. This made him suffer a lot. However, over these few days, Yang Hao also mastered many skills, which were: don't think about anything in your mind, don't think about the things you're reciting with your mouth, just use your body and heart to experience the subtleties within.

  He found that after a long time, a small person appeared in his body, looking exactly like himself. Moreover, he felt that this little person was him, and he was the little person. What's more interesting is that after the little person appeared for several days, it seemed to understand what Yang Hao was saying, and as Yang Hao muttered to himself, the little person actually started practicing qigong inside his body... At first, Yang Hao felt a surge of energy throughout his body. Later, as the little person practiced qigong inside him, his body also reacted, with the little person's hands moving in sync with his own. However, Yang Hao's anti-gravity phenomenon caused him no small amount of confusion. As soon as he moved, his body would float up and bump into the ceiling, and his head had already been bumped so much it was almost like a pig's head... But Yang Hao gritted his teeth and continued to practice.

  As he spoke, Yang Hao had unknowingly cultivated for 6 days already, and this was the evening of the 6th day. After finishing his meditation, Yang Hao didn't stop and continued to practice his Intention Body Mystical Connection. The small glowing person immediately appeared in his mind, but today it didn't move, only staring at Yang Hao with its eyes. Yang Hao found it strange, usually when he started chanting, the little man would start practicing, why wasn't it moving today? And why was it staring straight at him... So Yang Hao also started staring back at it. "Why isn't it moving?" Yang Hao's intention unfolded, making the little man take a step forward, and suddenly the little man really did take a step forward. Yang Hao looked at it with surprise and delight, lifting his feet, walking, squatting down, standing up... The little man followed suit.

  "Come on, run a couple of steps~~" Yang Hao was having so much fun playing, but after running just a few steps, he felt a chill spread across his face... "Damn..." Yang Hao opened his eyes to take a look and found that his physical body had also moved... He rubbed his temples, trying to recall everything.

  "So that's it, the little guy is me, he moves and I move~~~ Haha~~~ It's done, just like Master said~~~" Yang Hao immediately sat down, and the little guy inside him also sat down. After Yang Hao started practicing the two techniques again, the little guy suddenly smiled at Yang Hao and disappeared... Yang Hao opened his eyes to find himself in a pitch-black space with 2 golden lights appearing before him. "Huh?? This... is this the light from my eyes?? Haha, this light looks so familiar~~~~" Yang Hao suddenly remembered that the first time he saw Master fight against Tiger Head, Master seemed to have used this kind of golden light. Could it be??

  "That's great~~~" Yang Hao jumped up excitedly, but this time he didn't bump into the ceiling. Instead, he was just like an ordinary person...

  "Haha, I can control my body now..." Yang Hao walked back and forth in the room, savoring the joy of controlling his body. Suddenly, his thoughts turned to outside the door... His eyes turned white, and he actually walked out of this sealed room...

  "I... how did I get out?" Yang Hao stood outside the door, looking at this completely sealed room, extremely surprised to see himself, both shocked and delighted. So he put his mind back in the house again. His eyes turned white again, and his body actually returned to the house...

  "Haha~~ Is this the wall-penetrating technique?? I can go anywhere now~~ Hehe..." Yang Hao was excited in his room for half a day, but today is only the sixth day, and there's still one more day left. What should I do? Ah, right! The Bagua You Long step that Master gave me hasn't been practiced yet, might as well take a look... So Yang Hao took out the Bagua You Long step from his pocket... And so he spent the last day on the You Long step.

  On the eighth day morning, Yu Deng and Yu Zhuo followed orders to release Yang Hao from prison. As soon as the door opened...

  "Master... Master~~~ Something's wrong... something's wrong~~ Ah Hao... Ah Hao is gone..."

  "What? What did you say?"

  "Yang Hao is gone?!" The two, who were in the middle of their cultivation, Hu Tou and Zi Lei, looked at Yu Deng with shocked expressions as they hastily walked up to ask.

  "Haha... no need to look anymore... this little stinker is here..." Yi Yang Shu, with a relieved expression, looked at the kitchen door.
