Chapter 1646: Chapter 380: Obtaining Qian Kun, Molten Furnace Upper Realm!

"Qiankun Great Method!"

Chen Jie gazed at the secret manual on the jade table before him, his eyes brightening. It was said, "Worn-out iron shoes with no place to find it, and then it comes effortlessly"—what he had been painstakingly searching for was precisely this Qiankun Great Method.

Unexpectedly, it was simply placed on this stone table just like that.

Thinking about how many people outside were fighting and snatching for this Qiankun Great Method, recalling how insane Du Zundao became, remembering how Little Ming King was ravenously eager, and the meaning this Qiankun Great Method represented.

Chen Jie felt that this Qiankun Great Method before him weighed a thousand pounds.

Yet, no matter how turbulent it was outside, no matter how many people were fighting and plundering for this Qiankun Great Method, it was still so calm here.

Chen Jie looked up and saw the name of the pavilion, this pavilion was called the "Contemplation Hall".

What is contemplation? It indicates that this was the place where past Sect Hierarchs of the Zoroastrian Sect meditated and practiced Kung Fu in seclusion.

It must be said, the elders of the Zoroastrian Sect were indeed good at choosing locations.

Chen Jie thought, without rushing to take this Qiankun Great Method, instead thoroughly inspecting this Qiankun Great Method, inside out, as well as the conditions inside and outside the pavilion. After discovering that there was no danger here, Chen Jie was relieved to return.

Practicing Kung Fu is like driving a car; the first thing is to ensure the surrounding environment is safe. Otherwise, when you’re at a critical point in practicing, where would you have time to worry about the outside world?

If there truly was danger, and someone launched a sudden attack on you while you were in seclusion, you wouldn’t be able to withstand it.

After confirming that everything around was safe, with nothing to threaten him, Chen Jie arrived in front of the jade table and carefully inspected the material of the Qiankun Great Method book on the table.

Chen Jie had watched many archaeological programs; some ancient books appear intact, but due to years of weathering, just placing your hand on them could likely cause the entire secret manual to shatter instantly.

If that happened, Chen Jie estimated he would be stunned on the spot.

Fortunately, this Qiankun Great Method, though seemingly written on paper, was actually made of a very special material. Chen Jie looked at it; it appeared similar to some kind of animal skin. However, this skin was very thin, almost like paper. When Chen Jie touched it, it even had a nice elasticity.

No wonder Little Ming King and Han Ling’er weren’t afraid of him using a fake secret manual to fool them; just based on this paper material, he couldn’t counterfeit it in a short time.

But it wasn’t a big deal; after all, he didn’t intend to do any mischief with this Qiankun Great Method.

Thinking this way, Chen Jie picked up the Qiankun Great Method.

With the secret manual in hand, Chen Jie carefully perused it. Excluding the preface, this Qiankun Great Method comprised five sections, namely "Qian Yuan Chu Dong", "Immovable Primordial Earth", "Yin Yang Intersection", "Shifting", and "Qiankun Unification".

The Fourth Layer, among them, "Shifting", was exactly the detailed explanation of the Heaven and Earth Transposition moves Chen Jie had been seeking.

Or rather, its full name.

Chen Jie took the secret manual and began reading, starting with the preface.

"The way of heaven and earth, Yin Yang Qian Kun, Yin Yang as the foundation, Qian Kun as the manifestation, Yin Yang Intersection, Qian Kun self-connects."

"This ’Qiankun Great Method’ gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, comprehends the mysteries of Yin Yang, understands the transformations of Qian Kun. Those who cultivate this Kung Fu need to understand the way of Yin Yang and realize the principles of Qian Kun; otherwise, not obtaining its method will instead harm oneself."

The signature below: "Mao Ziyuan"

Seeing this name, Chen Jie was momentarily stunned, but soon he recalled who this person was—apparently the founder of the Zoroastrian Sect.

This person was originally a monk, a disciple of the famous Eastern Jin monk, Monk Hui Yuan. He took refuge in the Three Jewels and upheld the Five Precepts, but later joined the Fire Virtue Sect of Taoism, worshiping the Fire Virtue Blazing Star Lord of the South, thus transitioning from Buddhism to Taoism.

In eighteen years, he mastered both paths of Taoism and Buddhism, creating a fusion of Buddhist and Taoist practices, taking upon himself the mission to save the world, founding the most influential sect of subsequent dynasties—the Zoroastrian Sect.

He was the first generation Sect Hierarch and also the first-generation Venerable King Ming!

Chen Jie recalled everything he had read about this legendary figure from ancient texts, and he felt that a true man should be like this, creating a strong influence for future generations.

If not an emperor, then a Sect Hierarch.

Chen Jie thought this way, though he leaned more towards the first—"A true man should be an emperor!"

Holding the Qiankun Great Method, Chen Jie flipped through it once and, finding nothing amiss, was about to begin formal practice. He looked around and then saw the golden yellow meditation cushion on the ground.

This cushion’s color was exceptionally bright, and crafted from some unknown material, it appeared quite exquisite.

And it didn’t fade. When Chen Jie sat on it, he immediately felt clear-headed, his thoughts becoming active, as if he had suddenly attained enlightenment, which surprised him.

When he stood up, that wondrous feeling vanished, but upon sitting again, his thoughts became active once more. Chen Jie’s eyes lit up; could this thing possibly also enhance memory and aid in enlightenment? This cushion was indeed a treasure.

Thinking this, Chen Jie disregarded everything else and sat directly on the cushion.

Sitting cross-legged, palms tilted toward the sky, he eliminated all distracting thoughts from his mind.

He opened the Qiankun Great Method, skipped the sequel, and directly began reading the first section’s content.

The first section: "Qian Yuan Chu Dong"—achieving the initial movement through the convergence of inner qi with heaven and earth, transforming Qian into flexibility, transforming Kun into strength, with both strength and flexibility present, manifesting initial movement.

The second section: "Immovable Primordial Earth"—transforming Primordial Earth with faith, Kun for the earth, with great virtue embracing all, signifying infinite possibilities, responding to myriad motions with stillness.

The two sections combined speak only of two words, Qian Kun.

What is Qian? What is Kun?

Qian is heaven; Kun is earth. Qian Kun is heaven and earth; Qian connects to Yang, Kun connects to Yin. Qian Kun is Yin Yang; Qian is strong, Kun is flexible. Only with both strength and flexibility can they complement each other; mastering these two sections enables understanding of Qian Kun, transforming strength and flexibility, greatly enhancing power!
