Chapter 17: The Secret of the Desolate Expanse (3)

  "In your spare time, go to the library and review various Xingzhuang Gongfa, understand the nature of each Xingzhuang, which will help you create your own Wuxing Gongfa. Also, don't reveal to outsiders that you have built your foundation for now, it's best not to show your true Qi in front of others." Yan Long instructed.

  "Progenitor of True Energy!" This was the name Master gave to the true energy within his body, meaning that this true energy could transform into various elemental forces.

  "Yes, Master." Chang Sheng nodded and said.

  "As a master, I haven't cultivated the 'Swallowing Heaven Golden Body Technique', so I won't be able to help you much in your cultivation. However, I can assist you with heavenly materials and spiritual elixirs, so don't worry about those things. Alright, I'll head back first, wait until you've adapted a bit and made some progress, then come back." With that, Flame Dragon turned around and left.

  At first, the master told himself that he couldn't cultivate the "Swallowing Heaven Golden Body Technique" for a reason. That is to say, if you want to make the "Swallowing Heaven Golden Body Technique" coexist with other techniques, the only foundation is to first cultivate the "Swallowing Heaven Golden Body Technique", and then cultivate other techniques, using the Wanling True Qi as the source, and transforming the true qi of the cultivated technique, so that they can complement each other.

  If you have previously practiced other qigong methods, unless you have abandoned your dantian and allowed all of your true qi to disperse, then you must not begin practicing the "Swallowing Heaven Golden Body Method" or any other qigong method. If you do so forcibly, the only consequence will be that you will go mad from the uncontrolled flow of qi, suffer a catastrophic collapse of your body and die.

  Yan Long has already survived two heavenly tribulations and is a peerless expert, having also grasped his own way. There's fundamentally no need to cultivate other techniques; as Yan Long said, only what suits oneself is the best!

  In the following days, Chang Sheng stayed in his own courtyard, working hard to control his body balance. From originally making a loud noise with one foot, he changed to now landing silently. Moreover, he could complete the entire set of Tempering Body Technique.

  After thoroughly mastering his body, Chang Sheng walked out of the courtyard and headed in the direction of the library. In his free time over the past few days, Chang Sheng would often recall what his master had said, so going to the library to check on the Xingzhuang Gongfa was also a necessary thing to do.

  The Book Pavilion is divided into two floors. The first floor is open to outer door disciples and is divided into four areas. The first area stores various swordsmanship secret books. The second area stores the distribution of heavenly materials and earthly treasures with illustrations and annotations. The third area stores the classification of spiritual beasts, their various powers and uses. The fourth area stores cultivation knowledge and some miscellaneous talks and interesting things.

  The second floor can only be considered a small room, inside which are stored the various secret manuals of the Huoyun Sect collected over nearly ten thousand years. However, the outer gate's library only leaves behind the first layer of cultivation methods, that is, the foundational training methods before building one's foundation. To continue cultivating higher levels, one must enter the inner gate and have the qualifications to cultivate.

  As it was now the time for dinner in the cafeteria, there was no one on the first floor of the library except for the elder who checked the waist cards. Chang Sheng directly came to the stairs beside the wall and went up. In front of the door on the second floor, an old man with white hair and beard sat, hearing the footsteps, his eyes slowly opened, and the sharp light flashed by.
