Chapter 147: An Imperishable Body, an Immortal Spirit! And Forcefully Adding a Friend!
“We are brothers now, so there’s no need for such formalities,” Xi Yingqing raised his hand and patted Meng Changqing’s shoulder, “Besides, only you can make the best use of these things.”
Hearing this, Meng Changqing said no more.
“Next, I’ll explain the first volume of the Undying Truth Heavenly King Art,” Xi Yingqing said.
“Alright.” Meng Changqing nodded.
He wanted to understand this heavenly-level technique in detail.
Xi Yingqing then began to explain.
Similar to many other sacred texts, the “Eternal Heaven Sutra” was just a general outline, containing various techniques and martial arts.
The “Undying Truth Heavenly King Art” was a major part of it, consisting of six volumes. The first volume was only of the initial heavenly level and could barely be practiced upon reaching the Divine Attainment Realm.
The Undying Truth Heavenly King Art had lofty principles.
It believed that in this world, there existed many truths, which were the most fundamental things, the essence of all existence and operation.
If one could steal these truths and use them, could one achieve an eternal and indestructible state?
An imperishable body, an immortal spirit, coexisting with the world?
However, the gap between knowing and doing was vast.
But the “Undying Truth Heavenly King Art” at least approached this goal.
The content of the first volume was about integrating oneself with the heavens and earth, using a powerful spiritual will to sense the truths in the void.
Even if one couldn’t sense them, one could achieve a state pursued by many: the unity of heaven and man.
In this state, both comprehension and cultivation speed would undergo a qualitative leap and improvement.
“A heavenly-level technique indeed lives up to its name.” After listening to Xi Yingqing’s explanation, Meng Changqing couldn’t help but marvel.
At least in earthly techniques, he had never seen such lofty principles.
“Don’t overthink it. Any heavenly-level technique or martial art has grand principles, but some may not achieve the described effects even if mastered,” Xi Yingqing said with a smile after seeing Meng Changqing’s reaction, “In fact, the greatest value of heavenly-level techniques lies in providing a direction, a great path. The creator laid the foundation, and it requires more people to build upon it, paving the way to the other shore.”
“I see.” Meng Changqing understood, then asked knowingly, “So, Senior Brother, which volume have you reached?”
“The fifth volume,” Xi Yingqing didn’t hide it.
“Does it have the effects described in the Undying Truth Heavenly King Art?” Meng Changqing was curious.
“It does, but perhaps only reaching the sixth volume will bring about a qualitative change,” Xi Yingqing’s eyes showed a rare look of longing, but it soon turned into regret. “Unfortunately, in today’s era, resources are scarce and controlled by the Holy Lands. Achieving mastery is as difficult as reaching the sky.”
Hearing this, Meng Changqing’s eyes flickered.
The Holy Lands again. Before, he had a high regard for the legendary Holy Lands, but after hearing from his aunt and seeing the reaction of his senior brother, those thoughts had long faded. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on novel·fıre·net
“Alright, that’s enough for today. If you have any questions, you can come find me,” Xi Yingqing said, “Also, prepare yourself. In a few days, the sect will take over the Demon Abyss to suppress the demons inside. You can go there to train.”
“The Demon Abyss?” Meng Changqing was puzzled.
Seeing this, Xi Yingqing explained it briefly.
“I understand,” Meng Changqing nodded.
Suppressing demonic abysses was the duty of a first-class sect.
It seemed he needed to read more miscellaneous books to avoid such gaps in knowledge.
With the important matters discussed, it was time to leave. But since he was here and faced with such a powerful figure, Meng Changqing didn’t want to leave empty-handed.
After thinking it over, he decided to give it a try, even if it seemed a bit abrupt.
“Senior Brother, I have an impolite request. I hope you can agree,” Meng Changqing said.
“Oh? Go ahead,” Xi Yingqing looked serious.
“Although we are brothers, could we interact as friends in the future?” Meng Changqing asked.
“Why is that?” Xi Yingqing was clearly taken aback.
He thought Meng Changqing had a cultivation question, but this request was completely unexpected.
“Because, in my opinion, brotherhood still feels a bit distant, while friendships and close bonds are more intimate,” Meng Changqing started to make things up, saying things even he didn’t quite believe.
But he decided to give it a try. If it didn’t work, he would think of something else later.
Xi Yingqing rubbed his brow.
In all his life, he had never heard such a request.
“Alright,” after thinking it over, Xi Yingqing smiled and nodded.
It was just a verbal agreement, not a big deal.
He assumed his little junior brother might have some peculiar habits and preferred the interaction style of friends over that of brothers.
After all, geniuses often had their quirks.
Didn’t he have some when he was young?
【Successfully added Xi Yingqing as a friend!】
【Current Favorability: One Star!】
【Attributes available for selection!】
Hearing the system’s notification, Meng Changqing’s eyes lit up with joy.
He realized that success often required taking the initiative. If you don’t try, you won’t know the result.
However, he also knew that his potential and value in the sect played a crucial role in Xi Yingqing agreeing to such odd requests.
Otherwise, any other person would likely have been sent flying with a single palm strike.
“Then, Senior Brother, I’ll take my leave now,” Meng Changqing said, his mood much improved after successfully adding a friend.
“Go ahead,” Xi Yingqing replied.
As Meng Changqing turned to leave, he noticed something.
He looked to the right and saw, in the distance, eight tombstones standing there.
The gentle breeze blew, causing the sea of flowers to ripple, creating a beautiful yet sorrowful scene.
