Chapter 62: Heart Like the Great Sun, Its Meaning Is Clear
5 min read1,365 words
A cultivation technique that requires sunlight to practice is not a good technique; it cannot narrow the path for the disciple. It must be corrected.
Li Xuan only needs to silently observe as he leaves the cultivation technique for the disciple to comprehend.
Meng Chong fell into deep thought and decided to try practicing at night.
In the courtyard, he assumed a horse stance and began his cultivation.
"How come I can't sense the qi and blood?"
Without the warmth of the sun on his body, Meng Chong initially could not sense the qi and blood during cultivation.
"Indeed, there must be a problem with my understanding of the technique."
Meng Chong took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and carefully sensed his body.
At one moment, he finally sensed the qi and blood, but the sensation was weak, and the refinement process was extremely slow.
"Why does cultivation under the sun go faster?"
Meng Chong fell into deep thought.
Li Xuan's expression changed slightly, and he also fell into deep thought. Meng Chong was clearly much weaker when practicing at night.
"Something's not right. Could it be that the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield really needs sunlight to be more efficient?"
Li Xuan was somewhat confused.
He carefully recalled the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield technique he had created, but no matter how he looked at it, there was no mention of needing sunlight for cultivation.
"Could it be the name of the technique?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Let's see how Meng Chong solves this problem."
Li Xuan decided to leave it alone.
After all, when he taught his disciples, he always let them comprehend the techniques he created on their own.
How to successfully cultivate was entirely up to the disciple to understand.
Meng Chong, while mobilizing the qi and blood to refine his body, carefully sensed the changes within himself. The weak qi and blood refined at an extremely slow pace.
"What's wrong? It can't be that I need sunlight to cultivate. There must be something I haven't understood."
Meng Chong carefully sensed the changes in the qi and blood, scrutinizing the technique word by word.
"The Great Sun Golden Bell Shield must be related to the Great Sun. Since it's not necessary to cultivate under the sun, then...
"No, the Great Sun has never disappeared.
"On rainy days, it's obscured by clouds, and at night, it temporarily sets...
"So, the Great Sun has always been there."
A flash of inspiration appeared in Meng Chong's mind, and he vaguely understood something.
"Master said it's about comprehension and intention. I haven't comprehended the intention in the technique, which is where I'm lacking..."
What is the "intention" of the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield?
Meng Chong fell into deep thought.
At this moment, the qi and blood flowed from the bones to the organs. The heart beat, refining the heart, and a warm sensation arose. The qi and blood, flowing out of the heart, became more concentrated and pure.
In an instant, Meng Chong felt he had comprehended the "intention" of the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield.
"The intention of the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield is naturally the intention of the Great Sun. Although the Great Sun in the sky is not present, the Great Sun in my heart remains unchanged..."
In that instant, Meng Chong felt as if he had opened a window and seen a great sun in the sky.
"My heart is like the Great Sun, burning within me, its intention clear, resonating with the Great Sun in the sky..."
Meng Chong entered a profound state of cultivation.
The heart began to beat rhythmically, and streams of qi and blood seemed to burst forth, flowing through the heart and then to the other organs.
He felt as if his body contained not a heart but a great sun.
At one moment, an image of the great sun in the sky at noon during cultivation appeared in his mind.
The heart and the great sun seemed to resonate together.
Thump, thump, thump...
The heart beat, and with each beat, a burst of qi and blood flowed through the organs, then to the bones and skin, and back to the bones and heart...
A complete cycle appeared.
As he resonated with the image of the great sun, his breathing became rhythmic, and his heart beat more powerfully. The qi and blood became increasingly hot and intense.
At one moment, he felt a burning sensation throughout his body, with qi and blood spreading everywhere, and the sensation of soreness in his bones became more intense.
He felt as if his body had become a great bell, with flesh, skin, bones, and organs forming a complete, round state.
The Great Sun Golden Bell Shield!
"I finally understand the technique!"
Meng Chong was delighted, feeling his physical body growing stronger.
Round like a great bell!
"I can already feel the sensation of a golden bell in my body!"
Meng Chong was extremely excited and had long forgotten the time, continuously cultivating.
Li Xuan had been observing Meng Chong. As a martial artist, his keen senses allowed him to clearly perceive the changes in Meng Chong's body.
"His breathing has become rhythmic, and his qi and blood are growing stronger... The qi and blood are round and spread throughout the body, integrating internally and externally, forming a golden bell in the body..."
At that moment, Li Xuan was pleasantly surprised.
Meng Chong had comprehended the cultivation method of the Great Sun Golden Bell Shield.
He was currently in the process of cultivation.
"The physical body is visibly growing stronger. This disciple is indeed suitable for cultivating the physical body."
Meng Chong's physical body was continuously growing stronger.
"When taking on disciples, there should be a focus. Creating techniques within the disciple's talent is easier to comprehend..."
Li Xuan felt he had found the standard for taking on disciples.
A new disciple means a new technique.
He couldn't possibly create dozens or hundreds of new techniques and systems.
Therefore, the requirements for disciples were destined to be extraordinary talent, suitable for creating new techniques.
"Can Meng Chong master the basics within a month?"
Li Xuan showed a look of anticipation.
Xu Yan's talent was undoubtedly monstrous, otherwise, he wouldn't have successfully cultivated the completely fabricated technique.
Although Meng Chong's technique was also fabricated, there was at least a reference, and Li Xuan was already a martial artist.
Moreover, Meng Chong's talent was indeed in the physical body.
"I should also tell Meng Chong about the stages of bone refinement. The bone refinement in the physical body, comparable to the Jade Bone, is the Vajra Crystal Bone. I hope he can refine the Vajra Crystal Bone from my fabricated technique.
"Xu Yan could refine the Jade Bone, so Meng Chong should be able to refine the Vajra Crystal Bone, right?
"Still, some assistance is needed. Xu Yan also relied on battling the Fire Mane Wolf to break through to the Jade Bone."
Li Xuan began planning Meng Chong's next steps in cultivation.
If Meng Chong could refine the Vajra Crystal Bone, once he entered the martial path, he would receive feedback. With Jade Bone + Vajra Crystal Bone, what changes would occur?
It would definitely be even stronger!
The thought was exhilarating.
"Meng Chong entering the martial path is just a matter of time. Next, I should prepare martial techniques for him.
"Xu Yan uses the palm, so Meng Chong will use the fist...
"As for movement techniques, the old rule applies. Draw a Bagua diagram, explain it to him, and let him comprehend it on his own.
"Additionally, I need to improve the subsequent physical body martial system."
Li Xuan's mind was clear, and he entered a state of deep thought, considering how Meng Chong should cultivate after entering the martial path.
The physical body martial path is a system in martial arts, primarily focusing on the physical body, but it's not just about brute strength. Li Xuan needed to improve it to make the physical body martial path equally powerful.
