With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal-Chapter 610 - 549: The Subtlety of Spiritual Scent, Unity of Heart and Dao, and the Mutated Sun!
A martial artist need not be mentioned, with scarlet smoke rising, big or small.
He alone watches dying things, like the hare caught in the mountains, the fish upended at the bottom of the pond.
The aura of death is like layers of cobwebs entangled, he reaches out to pluck them, yet cannot help but fail...
The good and bad signs in one’s aura, the hundred states of life, the cycle of life and death...
All these are principles.
The heavens and earth have qi, all things follow the principles.
Every sip and bite, none not predetermined.
Observing qi in the heavens and the earth, Meng Chuan has cultivated for a long time, and today at last realized, the qi of heaven and earth is not only on the surface.
But also hidden in the mind and intention!
The mountains and rivers have spirits, the grass and trees hold secrets, the alternation of day and night has its own rules.
How to break limits?
Not limited to observing the form of qi, but also penetrating the essence of qi.
Meng Chuan, unconstrained by standing or lying, with eyes piercing through illusions, sees the qi flow of all things rushing like a river, mighty and unending.
Breathing in through the nose, leisurely and comfortably.
Lounging with crossed legs, lying on the grassland.
With a casual gesture, the qi brought a sparrow from the treetop.
Pointing its brow with a finger, a rolling wood attribute qi rushed in, instantly feeling vibrant life.
In just a moment, he released his hand, letting go of the startled bird.
The sparrow’s life is naturally thin, and too much vitality overflows.
He used the essence of grass and trees to transform it, unable to do more.
As for pointing at humans...
Subsequent attainment of the patriarch, Physical Buddha realm, perhaps can attempt once or twice.
As the thought crossed his mind, he turned over and stood firmly.
Looking to the long sky, voice distant:
"The cycle of life and death, nothing but the gathering and scattering of qi; the myriad states of the human world, merely the waxing and waning of yin and yang."
Break the shackles of the old method.
With the mind, in accord with the Dao.
The unusual feeling surrounding him gradually dissipated.
Meng Chuan fixed his gaze and returned to his senses, somewhat nostalgic for the state just experienced.
He called this state "as if assisted by gods."
Enhanced comprehension and various traits abounded during previous fist practice, he felt it many times.
Today’s limit breaking of the [Qi Observation Skill], however, was the first time.
The sense of mystery gradually faded, he looked towards the panel:
[Qi Observation Skill: Limit Broken]
[Acquired Limit Breaking Trait: Spiritual Smell (Basic)]
"In one breath understand the principles of heaven and earth, spiritual smell penetrates to discern life and death."
Meng Chuan’s gaze shifted down, and seeing this line of small characters, he felt somewhat surprised.
Based on experience, characteristics with such "annotations" seemed to be rather extraordinary.
As for specifics, not quite clear.
Setting those aside for now, he then focused on the important point, its utility.
This was his first time breaking the limits of a Taoist method of qi cultivation.
Curious about the uniqueness of limit-breaking traits in such martial arts.
Listed under the [Martial Arts] category on the panel along with fist skills, they surely have their usefulness...
His gaze shifted.
At the very bottom, a new entry appeared.
[Spiritual Smell (Basic)]
Focusing a bit, the utility emerged.
Function one: Sensitive to qi, enhances the perception sensitivity to the spiritual energy of all things, capable of distinguishing natural qi of different attributes;
Function two: Eye recognition method, slightly enhances the efficiency of capturing spiritual energy, small enhancement of smooth operation of spiritual breath type cultivation techniques.
Indeed worthy of being a limit-breaking trait of qi cultivation techniques.
Its utility, like the principles, is quite roundabout...
Ironically possessing infinite wisdom.
A brief moment of thought, and a sudden understanding.
The former transformation lies in the sensitivity to qi.
Applied internally, it manifested as his "six senses" being more sensitive.
Eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, mind.
The six senses being more sensitive, facilitating the perception of colors.
With this utility, supposedly approaches closer to the Buddhist principle of the "six senses perceiving colors."
The day to cultivate the [Pure Six Senses Perceiving Colors Method] is not far off.
This is his method of Tao-Buddhist integration.
The Taoist method’s limit breaking, utilized in the Buddhist sect’s Heart Sutra Spell practice. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Looking across the world, only he is unique like the scorpion’s sting...
Besides this, also when "distinguishing qi," it can slightly improve accuracy.
Looking at the silver-white fortune and red blood light, more accurately.
The utility clearly states it sharpens qi perception, which is the rightful intention.
Function two seems roundabout, but actually simple and straightforward.
Unexpectedly, the [Spiritual Smell] method, can also alter the eyes.
One must first smell with the nose, naturally faster with eyes than without.
This utility accompanying him, was his orientation when attempting from perfection to limit breaking.
The specific utility of traits complements the path of limit breaking in martial arts.
This realization he had long perceived, thus pondering no longer.
In simple terms, the utility of "eye recognition method".
Enhances the efficiency of manipulating various qi, meanwhile, for martial arts needing qi regulation, accelerates proficiency.
Not limited to the Five Elements, even when practicing [Nine Demon Subduing Styles].
The yin and yang qi summoned, can all benefit from the "eye recognition method."
From personal experience, the limit-breaking trait of qi cultivation techniques, truly can extend to martial arts martial skills.
That puts my mind at ease.
Future practice of qi cultivation techniques must not be interrupted.
Meng Chuan grew curious:
"Wondering if the Buddhist sect’s unique method, Heart Sutra Spell, is the same way..."
Hopefully so.
During Master Bai Bao’s test, upon seeing the existence of traits, he could be mostly at ease.
If it’s like the [Secret Technique], incapable of limit breaking, relegated to occasional auxiliary practice.
Upon completing the national mission, he plans to seek out Master Bai Bao for a test.
Then visit the Longhua Tree, to "pick up" a Buddhist fruit if possible.
By then, the Shaolin journey will be nearly perfect.
At this thought, recalling the unresponsive Arhat comrades, Meng Chuan felt a bit frustrated...
"The Dharma Realm Hemming Plan cannot just die prematurely..."
Looking at [Long-Brow Fist], there’s still time before the limit breaking, can’t speak too hastily.
As for other "soul-summoning" methods, he has some clues, not too anxious anyway.
"Urgency is the least helpful, the boat will naturally go straight when it reaches the bridge..."
...
Swaying and standing up, Meng Chuan squinted towards the sunlight.
"Since that day after conversing with Grandmaster Doma during the stormy night, the weather has been particularly peculiar..."
