Chapter 302 Jimo Peak (1/2)
A round moon was hanging in the sky. The moonlight that fell covered Qing Xuan like a thin veil.
There was a cliff in front of Shen Lian. He sat facing it, and he tried to understand the page of mysterious tadpole writing. Each and every symbol swam through Shen Lin's heart and the tadpoles seemed to come alive in his heart. They were being reorganized.
The tadpoles kept swimming and a mysterious vital force began to spread within his heart.
Shen Lian's spirit was utilized to its max, and every little tadpole felt as if its outer layer was being removed and its inner self was being revealed.
At the time, the river reflected a clear view of the sky, and Shen Lian stood up all in a sudden. He pointed his finger at the cliff in front of him.
The cliff had been moisturized under Qing Xuan's soulful aura for ten thousand years and hence not even normal sword could cause a scratch on it.
However, it seemed that the depth of Shen Lian's finger could even carve out the Great Way of Dao. Every stroke was like divine soldiers equipped with weapons, who looked extraordinary. Everything he penned, there was Qi from heaven and earth gathering on the stone sculpture like white fog.
Even though it was a newborn stone inscription, there was ancient Dao meaning coming from it, as if they were the Dao words since the beginning of time.
It was no longer tadpole writing, but Qin dynasty writing. It could be recognized by someone knowledgeable.
Every stroke of the Dao words seemed to contain an infinite amount of profoundness. Observing closely, the stone inscription Shen Lian wrote had a strict technique but the Qi was free. It held a beautiful and open form. The whole passage, however, was the supreme technique of Dao cultivation.
By the time Shen Lian finished, the moon was blocked by the cloud. Thunderstorms began to pour for the whole night.
At the same time, Shen Lian's ears were filled with Daoist music. It was not the sound of thunder but the tadpole writing he decrypted. Every word and sentence rang in his mind, and every word was akin to the Resonance of the Great Way. It resonated through his mind and cleansed his spirit. His spirit had become more transparent and dustless.
Until Shen Lian finished going through the book, he then was aware that it was the legendary Huangting scripture, one of the primary scripture of Daoism. It was rumored that a Daoist master had imitated the heavenly script after seeing the Great Brahma's Cryptology to the Infinity Hole. He then used it to form a part of the Daoist's scripture, Huangting.
The page of scripture he had was not the original copy of the Daoist Master's Huangting but supposedly a version written by an ancient cultivator of Qi.
This part of the Huangting talked about how to be enlightened. It utilized Daoist's single-mindedness and appreciation of Qi as the basis to talk about how to cultivate for immortality.
The scripture taught people to visualize the existence of a deity in every part of the body, such as the brain, the five facial features, all the organs in the chest and the abdomen, and also the stomach and intestines. If one could read the scripture often and say the deity's name in silence, along with remembering the shape, color, residence, and role of the deity in mind, then one could communicate with the spirit and celestials to ensure the internal organs were at ease and that the body and the mind stayed together until an old age. Ultimately immortality would be achieved.
How detailed and profound the technique was, compared with the existing Daoist formula, the difference was huge. In terms of whether it touched base with the fundamentals in achieving the Great Way of Dao, it was hard to say which was better.
The benefit for Shen Lian to cultivate this technique was that if he always read this scripture in silence, he could visualize the deity and adjust his shape and mind. With that, he could neutralize the Qi of Dan of the five elements. When he succeeded in the Primordial Spirit, he could ensure the vitality of his body was maintained, and that he could use all kinds of techniques.
Of course, the Huangting was not as simple as that. There was a limit to what this page of scripture could do.
If he could one day restore the whole of Huanting, he then could find out the ultimate secret of this Daoist's supreme scripture. It could even help him in peeping the level of Daoist Master, or even that of Buddha.
The scripture fared way better than many other techniques in Qing Xuan in terms of adjusting the mana. If one ever suffered any internal injury during cultivation, by chanting the Huangting the injury could be healed without any medication.
