Bab 16: Chapter 16 Heavenly Master
The Grand Sun Nine Refinement Visualization Method is easy to start but hard to master.
The first three layers involve igniting the Spiritual Fire with Essence and Qi, forging the Great Sun, burning the spirit, and extracting Divine Thoughts.
The middle three layers stimulate the soul with Divine Thoughts, nurturing the Yin God.
Upon reaching the last three realms, condensing the Primordial Spirit reveals the beginning of the mystery.
"Spirituality, the elusive force of the wandering soul, spirit, the idealistic power of thought, both of which are concepts of nothingness and etherealness, forged by the Spiritual Fire from Essence and Qi, become formless and immaterial Divine Thoughts."
Jin Lai flipped through the books, immersing himself involuntarily.
The first layer of the Grand Sun Nine Refinement Visualization Method requires visualizing the Great Sun, reflecting the spirituality within, allowing both to resonate, to ultimately achieve the transformation of Spiritual Fire into the Great Sun.
Once spirituality is manifested, it is then ignited with Essence and Qi, forging the Great Sun, making the visualized Great Sun intensely brilliant, burning the spirit, and extracting Divine Thoughts.
"The foundation of the Grand Sun Nine Refinement Visualization Method is to visualize the Great Sun. Only with a powerful Great Sun can one use less Essence and Qi, Spirituality, more effectively burn the spirit, and forge even more Divine Thoughts."
Jin Lai closed his eyes.
In his mind, details about the Great Sun flashed continuously.
The Grand Sun Nine Refinement Visualization Method portrays the Great Sun as a fireball.
A super fireball.
High temperature, intense light, also initially involving the concept of radiation.
Its structure could involve the Great Sun Divine Crystal, the Golden Crow Divine Bird, or the Underground Magma.
Before understanding the essence of the Great Sun, anything with high temperature and brightness could be seen as the Great Sun, the core of visualization, simply amplified.
The people of this world do not understand the essence of the Great Sun...
But he does.
Core, radiation zone, convection zone, photosphere, chromosphere, corona.
Take the Sun outside of Blue Star, for example.
The core has a temperature of up to 20 million degrees, a pressure equivalent to 260 billion atmospheres, with continuous nuclear fusion reactions where four hydrogen nuclei merge into one helium nucleus.
According to the mass-energy conversion formula E=mc², every second, mass of six hundred million tons of hydrogen undergoes nuclear fusion to become five point ninety-six billion tons of helium, releasing energy equivalent to four million tons of hydrogen.
These form the foundation of all light and heat.
"I did a solar science column back in the day, studied the birth of the Sun in detail, although I've since forgotten most of the specifics, but..."
Jin Lai "glanced" at the Qingguang in his spiritual world.
This knowledge still sedimented in his mind, cleansed by the Qingguang, would all be properly dealt with by it.
...
To practice the Grand Sun Nine Refinement Visualization Method, Essence and Qi must be used as fuel to ignite the Spiritual Fire, inevitably causing great harm to one's Primordial Energy. Jin Lai could not possibly perform it within Changjun City.
He planned to find a safe place, have Gu Xiangyang bring people over as protectors, then commence the switch to practice the Grand Sun Nine Refinement Visualization Method.
Just as he finished packing and was about to leave Changjun City, a knock came from outside.
Jin Lai sensed carefully for a moment, walked to the courtyard, and opened the door.
By this time, three people were already waiting at the courtyard door.
One Hugging Pill Master and two in the Gang Condensation stage.
Jin Lai recognized one of the Gang Condensation individuals.
It was the middle-aged man whose young master was abducted by the devil last night.
"Elder Gu."
The middle-aged man hurriedly approached.
Next to him, a young man around twenty-three or twenty-four respectfully bowed: "Jiang Xiyu thanks Elder Gu for saving my life."
Clearly, he was the young master kidnapped by the devil.
"It was a trivial effort, no need for such formalities."
Jin Lai uttered.
"To Elder Gu, it might have been a trivial effort, but for me, it was life-saving grace."
Jiang Xiyu took a Sword Box from the elder behind him, inside was a Treasure Sword shimmering with cold light: "Here is a humble gift, hardly representative of my gratitude, please accept it, Elder Gu."
With just a glance, Jin Lai guessed that this Treasure Sword...
Was definitely top-grade.
Exactly what he needed.
Gu Jinlai glanced at the Hugging Pill Master behind him.
To have a Hugging Pill Master as a protector, Jiang Xiyu must have an extraordinary identity.
There must be elders in the family who have reached Refining God.
After a moment, he seemed to guess something, "Surname Jiang? The Jiang Family from the Capital?"
"The Jiang Family has spread its branches and leaves in Starlight City for three hundred years, with no shortage of collateral bloodlines. I am just one of them."
Jiang Xiyu said.
A collateral line.
But still a young master of the Jiang Family.
As he planned to leave Changjun City, he would inevitably leave traces behind, subjecting him to the scrutiny of Lin Xiao or Zhou Yunyi.
He intended to practice Qi Refining and God Transformation, following the Path of Heavenly Master. During the time his blood and Qi were depleted, he would undoubtedly be weak. If Lin Xiao and Zhou Yunyi kept their gaze on him all the time, his situation would be extremely perilous. However, if he could slip out of Chang County undetected and conceal himself in the Capital...
Given some time to create some artifacts to protect himself, Lin Xiao and Zhou Yunyi would no longer pose a threat to his safety.
"The sword, forget about it. If you truly want to thank me, perhaps you could take advantage of the Jiang Family's channels to secretly transport me to the Capital,"
Gu Jinlai said, "You may have heard about my situation. Lin Xiao is pushing aggressively, and the sect elders are turning a blind eye, which left me disillusioned. The rumors that I have deviated in my cultivation are true, as it was because I willingly pursued Qi Refining and God Transformation, embarking on the Heavenly Master Path. The Path of Heavenly Master isn't suited for combat, but once in the Capital, I reckon I might be safe."
Using the Jiang Family's channels to go to the Capital...
Jiang Xiyu hesitated.
Gu Jinlai saved his life, and that great kindness could not be left unacknowledged.
However, he did not wish to have too many dealings with someone like Gu Jinlai, associated with the Demon Path, which is why he intended to give a top-grade Treasure Sword to repay the debt of gratitude.
Now Gu Jinlai requested using the Jiang Family's channels to travel to the Capital...
After pondering for a moment, Jiang Xiyu asked, "Elder Gu, is it true that you are turning to cultivate the Path of Heavenly Master?"
"It is indeed true. I have long since been unwilling to get involved in the strife of the Purgatory Demon Sect. Six months ago, I requested a transfer to Changjun City, not only to avoid Lin Xiao but also to distance myself from worldly distractions and focus on casting artifacts for the Heavenly Master Dao,"
Gu Jinlai said, "I've devoted myself to the study of the Heavenly Master's Path day and night. Anxious to try, I attempted Qi Refining and God Transformation a month and a half ago, which greatly damaged my primordial energy. And today, I traded demon merits for a technique of the Heavenly Master. If I weren't truly intent on practicing the Heavenly Master Dao, why would I bother wasting them?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiyu was quite surprised.
What Gu Jinlai had exchanged for his merits, with the Jiang Family's connections at the Demon Refining Hall, could certainly be verified. He was unlikely to make empty claims on this matter.
If he truly forwent exchanging for the Nourishing God Pill that could have aided his cultivation recovery, and instead chose a Heavenly Master Technique...
Then it was possible that he genuinely intended to dedicate himself solely to the Path of Heavenly Master and take a step back from active involvement.
"With my foundation in Refining God still intact and after many years of research, combined with the new Heavenly Master Technique I've acquired, I believe it won't take me long to complete the Visualization and enter the door of the Heavenly Master Dao,"
Gu Jinlai added.
Jiang Xiyu and the Hugging Pill Master exchanged glances.
Seeing the elder nod slightly, Jiang Xiyu then said, "Elder Gu saved my life, and should you ask anything of me, I shall fulfill it to the best of my ability. I will make arrangements immediately."
"Thank you,"
Gu Jinlai folded his hands in salute and exhaled deeply.
...
Nominally, Star State was still under the control of the State Governor.
The Jiang Family, as one of the four great families of Star State's Capital, still possessed immense influence even within Changjun City.
In just half a day, they had already arranged a discreet route for Gu Jinlai to leave.
...
At nightfall,
On a horse-drawn carriage, Gu Jinlai squinted as he looked towards the darkness-shrouded Changjun City.
This city hadn't left him with many pleasant memories.
But it was the first place he had stayed since crossing over.
"It's a bit of an embarrassing departure,"
Gu Jinlai muttered to himself softly.
But...
"I will come back."
