"But don't worry about it now. I'll talk about it later when I have some free time."

Xu Yi did not immediately start to understand the method of deduction. Although the method of deduction would be of great benefit to him in the future after being sorted out, that was in the future.

For now, he has more important things to deal with.

""Secret of Immortality"!"

Xu Yi finally focused his attention on this wonderful skill.

In the Huang Yi martial arts world, there are four world-famous martial arts that have been passed down for more than a thousand years.

"Illustration of the God of War"! "Secret of Immortality"!

"Tian Mo Strategy"! "Cihang Sword Code"!

These four miraculous arts all record the secret of Shattered Void.

Among them, the most mysterious and powerful one belongs to the "Illustration of the God of War" originating from the Temple of War. This technique is suspected to be located in another small world. It is unknown who left it. It can almost be said to be the martial arts of this world. The end.

"Secret of Immortality", "Heavenly Demon Strategy" and "Cihang Sword Manual", these three peerless miraculous skills that have been spread all over the world, are essentially from the "Illustrated Book of the God of War".

If you were to rank these four wonders, "The Illustrated Book of the God of War" would undoubtedly rank first.

And next, "Cihang Sword Code" is also undoubtedly the first, and the last one.

As the only one among the Four Wonderful Skills that no one has practiced to the point of Shattering the Void, there should be no one who would object to the idea that "Cihang Sword Code" is the worst.

Finally, there are "Secret of Immortality" and "Treasure of Heavenly Demon".

These two are a little difficult to sort out. In history, whether it is "Secret of Immortality" or "Treasure of Heavenly Demons", some people have used this to break the void.

"Secret of Immortality" is written by Guangchengzi, the teacher of the Yellow Emperor.

"Tian Mo Ce" is written by Xiang Yutian, Pang Ban and others.

In terms of the number of people, "Tian Mo Ce" seems to be better, but Guangchengzi is the Broken King Kong and the Ascension of the Soul. From the performance point of view, it seems to be more powerful.

Which one is strong and which one is weak is really not easy to define.

But what is certain is that the "Secret of Immortality" is indeed more difficult to practice than the "Tian Mo Strategy".

In the entire Huang Yi martial arts series, there are countless people who have practiced "Tian Mo Ce", and even counting only the most core and most difficult to practice "The Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique", many people have practiced it in history.

Of course, only Xiang Yutian and Pang Ban were able to truly use this to shatter the void.

There are not a few people who have obtained the "Secret of Immortality", but there are only three people who have actually practiced this miraculous skill and have records to check, namely Guang Chengzi, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling still practiced it in a daze, and even they themselves couldn't imagine what was going on.

Perhaps in history, besides the three of them, there were other people who also succeeded in cultivation, but there are no accurate records left.

The only ones who actually have records are the three of them.

On the one hand, this is because the "Secret of Immortality" is indeed mysterious, on the other hand... they really can't understand these oracle bone inscriptions!

Since the First Emperor of Qin burned books and harassed Confucian scholars, records of ancient writings have basically disappeared from the world.

In fact, even if Qin Shihuang did not burn books to enslave Confucian scholars, at that period, Oracle Bone Inscriptions had almost become a legend, and few people understood it.

Even in history, most of the people who obtained the "Secret of Immortality" were academics and celestial beings. When reading these oracle bone inscriptions, they basically made blind guesses.

Martial arts that reach directly into the broken void, such as "The Secret of Immortality", are inherently obscure and difficult to understand. If you break these words apart and crush them one by one, they may not be able to understand them.

Now this still has to be guessed at, how do you ask them to understand it? How dare you practice?

The most obvious example is that Ning Daoqi could vomit blood just watching "Cihang Sword Code".

Those are all words he can understand!

Moreover, Ning Daoqi is still one of the three great masters in the world today, and even has the vague title of the best person in the world.

Even if he can read a strange book of this level and vomit blood, how about practicing the "Secret of Immortality" that he can't even read?

No one with any sense would do such an irrational thing.

It was only by chance that Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling dared to do such a thing because they didn't understand anything.

It can be seen from this that although there may be many people who have obtained the "Secret of Immortality" in history, the fact that only three people have actually practiced it is really not an exaggeration.

"Let me see what martial arts principles are contained in this "Secret of Immortality"!"

Xu Yi directly opened the "Secret of Immortality" in his hand, and the first thing that caught his eye was the distorted oracle bone inscriptions.

At a glance, it looks a bit similar to Weird Daowen.

"Oracle bone inscriptions are one of the hieroglyphic characters, which are characters that directly imitate certain phenomena of heaven and earth."

"The weird Taoist text is the substantive and literalization of the Tao, and it itself represents a certain Tao between heaven and earth."

"In some ways, the two do have similar things in common."

Of course, they are just similar, there are still huge differences between the two.

The one hundred and eight incomplete Dao texts and the nine Dao texts that Xu Yi obtained were the true incarnations of Dao!

Regardless of whether the power they contain is too weird, in terms of power, they are indeed on par with the Dao.

Taking out any one of these Taoist texts, even if they are incomplete, is much more valuable than the entire "Secret of Immortality".

No!

It is much more valuable than the entire world and the entire universe!

The only problem is that this power is too powerful, and Xu Yi's small body cannot bear it, so he has to rely on other knowledge to neutralize it.

"Secret of Immortality" can be regarded as one of the pieces of knowledge that Xu Yi wants to neutralize.

"According to the speculations of many people, what is recorded in the "Secret of Immortality" should be the knowledge about yin and yang and the five elements."

"If I can apply this knowledge, maybe it will really help me reach the next level!"

"The Eight Trigrams Steps to Immortality" does not count.

The power of Xu Yi's true cultivation also revolves around Yin Yang and the Five Elements.

"Sun and Moon Sword Technique", "Five Emperors' Seal", "Taiyi Heart Sutra".

The essence of these three major exercises is the power of yin and yang and the five elements.

If the "Secret of Immortality" records true knowledge about Yin-Yang and the Five Elements, then after he absorbs it and then "picks up" the wool of the weird Taoism, he can definitely directly push his martial arts field to a great level!

Outside the distorted oracle bone inscriptions, there are densely packed annotations, which contain much more words than the oracle bone inscriptions themselves.

The entire "Secret of Immortality" uses only a few hundred words of oracle bone inscriptions, but the annotations from later generations amount to thousands of words, more than ten times the original text.

These annotations are also the focus of later generations' research on "Secret of Immortality".

For example, Shi Long has read "Secret of Immortality" for three years. He didn't read much of the original text, but mostly read the annotations - mainly because he didn't know a single Oracle.

Although these are equally obscure and foggy, looking at them separately, he can understand what the word means.

Unlike the original text of "The Secret of Immortality", in Shilong's eyes, it was just a bunch of ghostly drawings!

There were only seven pictures left, which seemed to be some kind of exercise route. He could barely understand them.

But without the necessary explanation of the techniques, he did not dare to practice rashly.

It should be noted that in the practice of martial arts, a slight difference can lead to a mistake of a thousand miles.

If you misunderstand any word, you may go crazy! The body is dead and the soul is gone!

You don’t even understand the exercises, so you just follow the exercise route map?

What's the difference between that and seeking death!

The more experienced people are in martial arts, the more they value this aspect, and the less likely they are to do such risky things.

Even if they don't understand these oracle bone inscriptions, they would rather study the annotations, trying to understand the meaning of part of the oracle bone inscriptions through these annotations, and then combine the context to understand the entire "Secret of Immortality" to achieve their own goals.

Over time, more people came to read the annotations, and many people even regarded the annotations directly as the main text.

For these annotations that others valued more, Xu Yi directly discarded them without even looking at them.

A bunch of annotations based on random guessing not only did no good, but actually interfered with his thinking!

Of course, the main reason why Xu Yi is so tough is because...

"It's just Oracle, it's not like I don't understand it!"

In the previous world, after Xu Yi unified the planet, he not only focused on cutting-edge scientific research.

Like all kinds of ancient knowledge, he also recorded them all in his memory palace - I have to say one more thing here, the memory palace YYDS!

In the ancient knowledge system, language is naturally an indispensable carrier.

Not only the oldest hieroglyphic oracle bones in ancient Chinese, but also the Sumerian language that is older than the oracle bones.

Ancient Egyptian, ancient Greek, etc. from similar years.

There are even Sanskrit, Mayan languages ​​and other languages ​​that contain some kind of mystery in legends.

Not only did Xu Yi study these ancient languages, he even set up a super giant language research institution to analyze and understand these texts.

Perhaps these words could not bring him any benefit at the time, but Xu Yi firmly believed that as a carrier of knowledge and civilization, these words would definitely bring him great benefits in the future!

This "Secret of Immortality" written in oracle bones proves that Xu Yi's original decision was correct.

Without the accumulation from the previous world, when he faced this oracle, he would probably have to be like everyone else now - guessing.

"Turn on the serious state!"

Xu Yi started his own research.

Don't read the annotations, just read the original Oracle text.

It took him nearly an hour to write the Oracle Bone Inscription, which was just a few hundred words long.

This is because there are some oracle bones, and even he doesn't know what they mean.

The oracle bone inscriptions are too far away from the present era, and countless characters in them have been lost in the long river of history. Even if Xu Yi tried his best to find those lost characters, it would be impossible for him to find them.

Fortunately, the Super Giant Language Research Institute he established not only studies language, but also developed a set of methods for analyzing language.

With this method, even if it is a text that has never been seen before, after applying it, you can study it in detail.

If you combine it with the context, the basic meaning is completely lost.

Of course, if that were the case, it would not take Xu Yi nearly an hour.

With Xu Yi's current thinking ability, after turning on the serious state, there are methodologies that can be used to solve the problem in minutes.

The main reason why it took so long was that some of the words were too obscure, which even made Xu Yi open some small historical records about the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period before he could barely understand their meaning.

"It actually has to be combined with the era as the background!"

"That's me. Anyone else would never be able to understand this "Secret of Immortality"!"

Xu Yi couldn't help but complained.

People nowadays don’t even understand oracle bone inscriptions, so you still want them to understand the spirit, civilization and traditions of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors period?

Let’s dream!

Xu Yi suspected that when Guangchengzi created this martial art, he probably didn't even think about letting others learn it.

This kind of difficulty is simply beyond the range that normal people can understand!

"etc!"

"Isn't this technique created by Guangchengzi specifically for the descendants of Yan and Huang?"

Xu Yi suddenly thought of a possibility.

If you want to learn the exercises, you must first understand the Yanhuang civilization, know its traditions, understand its spirit, and even recognize its beliefs.

It may not be that Guangchengzi couldn't create a more general technique, but he just didn't want to create such a technique.

Just like Xu Yi's "Martial Arts".

In essence, it is also created with Chinese civilization as its core.

If you want to practice this martial arts, you must first understand Chinese civilization, even recognize Chinese civilization, and regard yourself as a member of Chinese civilization from the bottom of your heart.

Why was Xu Yi able to spend so many years in peace after unifying the world in the previous world?

In addition to the absolute force he mastered, the global promotion of the "Martial Arts" allowed people all over the world to regard themselves as a member of Chinese civilization, which was also an important factor.

Guangchengzi's approach is basically the same as his concept of creating "Wu Jing".

Want to learn?

no problem.

Let’s start by shouting “Long Live Yanhuang!”

We are all a family, so it doesn’t matter what we study.

"This is the wisdom of ancient sages? Okay."

After Xu Yi understood, he couldn't complain anymore.

If it were him, he would do something like this.

What?

Has he already done it?

That's okay.

In fact, it’s not just Xu Yi, but also many of the Chinese civilization’s exercises. If you don’t understand Chinese civilization and recognize its spiritual traditions through personal experience, it will be difficult for you to practice them.

For example, in East Asia, they are basically all Chinese... ahem, in short, they can practice the skills we have here, and they are basically the same, you understand?

It's just like a child in adolescence, he becomes rebellious and always wants to do something, so these troubles happen.

But generally speaking, the cultural roots are still on our side.

Xu Yi himself was born in China and was the most authentic descendant of Yan and Huang. Without any barriers, he could naturally understand "The Secret of Immortality" very smoothly.

A few hundred words of oracle bone inscriptions contained a lot of knowledge, but after summarizing, Xu Yi quickly came to a conclusion.

An unexpected but reasonable conclusion.

"This is a method of visualization!"

"A true method of visualization!"
