In any case, Zhang Yan has traveled through time, experienced life and death, and experienced choices. Although the final result is not as perfect as he had planned, it can be regarded as a path for him. Now that he has lost his identity as a criminal soldier, he has also gained a relatively relaxed cultivation environment. It's a pity that he is temporarily stuck in Yubei Mountain and cannot walk.
Over the past six months, relying on the ultimate superposition of the effects of a tent of spirit-gathering talismans, and Zhang Yan's continuous adaptation to the breathing technique of "Sky Sweeping", his efforts have finally paid off.
Following a violent tremor of the Wanxiang Pearl on his chest, a vague enlightenment appeared in his heart, and his consciousness directly caught up with the first resonance of the Wanxiang Pearl with it.
"Wan Xiangzhu is awake!"
This kind of enlightenment appeared in Zhang Yan's heart, and he was overjoyed and relieved, because Wanxiang Pearl was indeed as he had guessed before, using the spiritual energy exhaled by Jie Hu to nourish himself and slowly The conditions for "awakening" are slowly reached.
It was also because of this nourishment that Zhang Yan completed the "refining" of the Wanxiang Pearl and officially became the new owner of the Wanxiang Pearl. This is also the reason why Zhang Yan feels more and more connected to her blood as Wan Xiang Zhu awakens.
Now, after more than half a year of nourishment, Wanxiang Zhu Youling has broken away from his self-proclaimed state and established a conscious connection with Zhang Yan. It was as if there was a huge message body in Zhang Yan's consciousness.
With the experience of receiving the body's original memory after traveling before, Zhang Yan seemed very calm this time.
With his eyes closed, Zhang Yan also immersed himself in consciousness for the first time with the help of the Wanxiang Bead, and then followed the connection between his consciousness and Wanxiang Bead and entered the Wanxiang Bead.
What a wonderful feeling.
Zhang Yan even felt that he could use the word "see" to describe his current feelings. After he followed his consciousness into the Wanxiang Pearl, what he "saw" was actually a tall tower! There are nine layers stacked on top of each other.
Zhang Yan was shocked at the scene for a long time. Even in his mind, he could feel the terrifying oppression emanating from the tall tower standing in front of him, just like an ant looking up at a giant mountain.
"The book once said that the Wanxiang Pearl is a thing from the fairy world. It can transform all phenomena and carry all things, hence the name "Wanxiang". Could it be that this tower is what is stored in the Wanxiang Pearl?" Zhang Yan said emotionally. It was unavoidable to be excited. He had thought that the classics in Longhu Mountain were all the boasts of previous generations, and they were all imaginary stories with no credibility at all. Now it seems that he is still too self-righteous. The records in the classics should be true.
The tower had no name, but the door on the first floor was open. A call made Zhang Yan unconsciously approach the door.
When we entered the first floor of the tower, there was no concept of "architectural style" or "furnishings" as Zhang Yan thought. There was not even a sense of direction. There were only many light spots shining with faint golden light hovering in the air. Apart from that, there is only one upward staircase, and the rest is darkness.
"Here... what are those?" Zhang Yan "walked" forward, and the sense of reality around him almost made him forget that he was only consciously here at this moment.
There was no need to guess the stairs going up. It must be the passage to the upper floor of the tower. However, after walking over, I found that the passage was not open and I couldn't go up. Then a flash of enlightenment struck, making Zhang Yan understand that the reason why he couldn't go up was that his cultivation level was too low, or that he had no cultivation level at all at this moment. He was able to enter this first level only because he had the opportunity to refine the Wanxiang Pearl.
Unable to go up the stairs, Zhang Yan turned his gaze to the floating golden lights around him.
If you get closer, you can see that these golden lights are actually small shining beads. The light on the beads rotates. If you touch it lightly with your hand, another enlightenment will flash through your mind, allowing Zhang Yan to understand what is in these beads.
"These are... techniques?! And magic methods?!"
Touching the light points one by one, Zhang Yan understood what was hidden in this tower. They are all the top cultivation techniques and magic tricks collected by the monks of the Longhu Mountain and stored in the Wanxiang Pearl.
At this time, Zhang Yan also figured out some of the abilities of his own consciousness towards this Wanxiang Pearl.
"What are the foundation-building techniques practiced by the masters of Longhu Mountain in the past?"
With just a thought, more than a dozen golden beads stood out from the countless golden beads scattered around, and flew in front of Zhang Yan like meteors.
There are more than ten kinds of exercises, all of which have detailed origins and which generations of masters have chosen them as their own foundation-building exercises. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are clearly listed.
There are radical ones and there are steady ones. Although it is only a foundation-building technique, high-rise buildings can rise from the ground. If the foundation cannot be laid down, it will be difficult to achieve high achievements in the future. Zhang Yan doesn't know how far he can cultivate Taoism, but he can do his best from the beginning.
Although radical exercises lead to faster improvement, they are also dangerous. The reason why the predecessors can choose is because they have the guidance of their masters. If they go astray, they can correct them in time. But Zhang Yan is now the only monk in the wilderness, who can guide him? He could only cross the river by feeling the stones.
Therefore, Zhang Yan would only choose among the stable foundation-building techniques.
In the end, Zhang Yan chose a foundation-building technique called "Returning Qi Method" after repeated comparisons and fate.
There are two reasons for choosing this simple-named foundation-building technique. First, this is the most stable foundation-building technique among all the masters of Longhu Mountain who have chosen it in the past. The unpretentious and step-by-step approach brings solid results without any pretense, and there is basically no chance of misdirection during practice. Possibility of being possessed, so safe.
Secondly, the "Returning Qi Method" focuses on the "continuance of breathing and breathing", which has the best effect on the technique of breathing and breathing. It is also most suitable for monks like Zhang Yan who have no pills to assist them in their practice.
After choosing the "Returning Qi Technique", Zhang Yan chose three more techniques. They are all the most basic methods. There are too many or too profound ones that he can’t use now. He understands the principle of biting off more than one can chew.
There is a light-weight technique "Divine Walk", a defensive method "Five Elements Qi Shield", and an offensive method "Qi-Entraining Sword Technique".
All of them are methods that can be started with zero threshold and no foundation, and they can also be used as basic methods to be derived into more advanced techniques, and the growth potential is very high.
Finally, and the issue that Zhang Yan is most concerned about, is how to use the other side of Wanxiang Pearl.
Accommodating all things is one of Wanxiang Pearl's abilities, and Zhang Yan has already seen it. However, the Wanxiang Pearl's "transformation of all things" has not yet been seen.
So his consciousness withdrew from the Wanxiang Pearl and glanced at the burning oil lamp beside him. The wick did not change at all, indicating that the experience when Zhang Yan was immersed in his consciousness and connected with the Wanxiang Pearl was actually just a moment. There is a huge difference in the sense of time.
Take off the Wanxiang Bead from your chest, tie the necklace into a circle and wear it on your wrist, and then mentally learn to connect the Wanxiang Bead with your thoughts.
The result was unexpectedly smooth, with no harsh feeling at all. As Zhang Yan thought, the Wanxiang Bead on his wrist changed, and in the blink of an eye, a dark red wooden sword appeared in his hand.
