Chapter 89 (2/2)
Fang Qiu couldn’t help laughing.
This wolf is quite intelligent.
Looking into the distance,
“A mountain cave?”
Fang Qiu just noticed a mountain cliff at the depths of this deep jungle. At the very bottom of the cliff, there was a cave with a two meter high and one meter wide entrance.
From so far away, the cave looked pitch dark. He couldn’t see anything.
“Could there be something in the cave?”
Fang Qiu looked back at that provoking wolf.
Thinking about it.
There must be something terrifying in that cave. And it plans to use that to get rid of me?
Heheh…
Fang Qiu laughed. His body moved and reached the wolf before it could react.
His arm rose and his blade dropped.
A palm slash hit the wolf’s head with appropriate strength.
The wolf passed out when its flurried roar was still echoing.
Sleep a bit longer!
Fang Qiu headed out at once towards the cave deep in the forest.
He was not scared of dangers.
He wouldn’t let go of any possibility of finding earth treasures.
Outside the cave, Fang Qiu was confused after quickly sensing.
There was no breath.
Why was the wolf so afraid?
Turning around to look at the wolf in a faint, puzzled Fang Qiu entered the cave.
As soon as he stepped in the cave, a stream of powerful force dashed towards him abruptly.
Moreover,
There were tens of thousands of devils screaming by his ears!
Fang Qiu’s eyes widened.
His internal Qi flew throughout his body instantly.
A loud shout.
“Break!”
He threw a punch!
Bam!
The entire cave shook as the two forces collided.
The force vanished.
The screams ceased.
Fang Qiu heaved a sigh.
The force was not that mighty but the devil’s scream was truly horrifying.
From the ear to the heart.
If he was not already at the Master stage, a heart devil might have invaded.
Very high-handed defense!
Fang Qiu sneered. He developed a sudden interest in this cave.
What on earth is inside worthy such protection?
He strode in!
The cave was not deep.
After three to four meters, it opened up to a wide clearing in front of Fang Qiu.
It was a squared space like a normal room. Sunlight shone through a hole in the ceiling about the size of a head. There was a one-palm wide moat around the four corners, very elaborately designed.
A bed stood by the innermost wall.
The bed was rather special, weaved with rattans in the form of a shriveled silkworm chrysalis. Very interesting.
Besides the rattan bed,
Fang Qiu noticed a pile of flat rocks by the wall to the right, appearing to have nothing unusual.
Turning to look at his left,
The oblique sunlight shone on the wall.
“Hmm?”
Fang Qiu was at a loss, gazing blankly at the wall.
He saw.
A few beams of diffuse light reflected from the wall under the sunlight.
“Characters?”
As the idea flashed across his mind, Fang Qiu moved forth to check at once.
Coming up the wall.
Fang Qiu saw many characters on the wall as expected.
“The great Tao is formless but it bears heaven and earth. It is emotionless but it operates the sun and the moon. It is nameless and it nourishes all in this world. I don’t know its name but I name it Tao!
“Everything in this world guards against me. Turning around and being honest brings the greatest joy!”
These were the two sentences written on the wall.
“Aren’t these from the Peace Sutra and the Book of Mencius?”
Fang Qiu muttered to himself.
He knew the first line was quoted from the Peace Sutra and the second from the Book of Mencius.
Both were classics that any pursuer of religious practice must learn.
“Why would anyone write it here?”
Suspicious,
Fang Qiu read on.
His entire body shook as he read!
“The meaning of Tao lies in the capability and the capability of a man lies in the spirit.”
“Tao is formless, nameless, and emotionless. Man has a form, a body, and a spirit.”
“Between heaven and earth, Tao has infinite energy. In the body, Man has limited strength.”
“Gather the energy of heaven and earth and control it in the palm. It is the Great Hand of Destruction.”
Till here,
Fang Qiu’s face changed.
An average martial arts practitioner might not understand these lines.
But he was a master!
He sensed the great meaning behind these words!
To make it simple, the energy between heaven and earth was limitless because heaven and earth had no form. Humans could absorb the energy of heaven and earth and gather it below the navel to make use on their own. The more they could absorb, the stronger they would become. However, humans couldn’t use the energy of heaven and earth directly because of their body.
The last line was the most important.
Gather the energy of heaven and earth and control it in the palm!
Apparently, this line on the wall was a movement of martial arts that allowed men to directly make use of the energy of heaven and earth.
And this movement was called the Great Hand of Destruction!
How horrible it would be if one could make use of the energy of heaven and earth at his own will!
Fang Qiu never dared think about it until then.
Martial artists at the master stage could gather the energy of heaven and earth below the navel, making the energy of heaven and earth their internal Qi. However, how much energy could a human body of limited size gather?
Despite that, they would already be extremely mighty.
He could only imagine the horror if one could make use of the energy of heaven and earth.
