Dragon's Origin

Chapter 430: The Old Taoist's Cultivation Method (Part 2)

Lingxu Old Taoist had almost never spoken to anyone about his cultivation realm. Even the Grand Master only occasionally heard from some predecessors that he must have surpassed the ninth level, but they had no idea what his specific realm was.

As for the number of acupoints, who else would know besides the person themselves? It was only because of the relationship between the Old Taoist and Wang Sheng that he would tell Wang Sheng. If it were someone else, even the Grand Master, although he was already considered to be recognized by the Old Taoist, Lingxu Old Taoist would not tell him these things.

"Perhaps my life will end here!" Lingxu Old Taoist looked at Wang Sheng's thumb, shook his head slightly, and sighed, his face full of desolation. In Wang Sheng's view, he seemed to be feeling the loneliness of being at the top.

"Old Taoist, if you were to fight those super demon beasts now, what are your chances of winning?" Wang Sheng couldn't help but ask. Last time when they talked about it, the Old Taoist didn't have confidence. It's been half a year now, so there should be some changes, right?

"I definitely won't have a problem with being evenly matched." Lingxu Old Taoist was actually very clear about his own abilities and judged very seriously, "In terms of cultivation realm, those demon beasts are definitely a bit weaker than me, but they have no emotions, they are crazy and only know how to kill, I can't do that, so a draw is about right. Maybe killing a few more people with you this time and getting more murderous aura will make me more confident!"

Wang Sheng nodded, that made sense. According to Wang Sheng's understanding of the Old Taoist, he would only take action against those who were extremely sinful or who offended the Old Lord Temple. Wang Sheng said he would take the Old Taoist to kill people, but the Old Taoist didn't refuse. So the root of it was here.

Lingxu Old Taoist was definitely a proud person, so proud that he didn't even care about the Grand Master of the Old Lord Temple. Asking him to casually kill a few juniors whose cultivation was far inferior to his own, the Old Taoist probably wouldn't even bother to do it. Only the experts and powerful demon beasts in the core of the Thousand Desolation Land might be able to arouse the Old Taoist's desire to take action.

"What exactly is that will inside?" Wang Sheng asked again. He believed that the Old Taoist must have a deeper understanding than himself.

"It should be the illusory aura left behind in a place of long-term cultivation by a peerless expert during his cultivation." The Old Taoist looked in the direction of the depths of the Thousand Desolation Land, his face full of longing, "I'm afraid it was the number one expert in the world back then."

"Old Taoist, can you leave behind this kind of aura?" Wang Sheng didn't think the Old Taoist's answer was illusory at all. Isn't there a legend on Earth that Bodhidharma left a shadow after facing the wall for nine years? What Wang Sheng cared about was how strong the person who left the aura was, so he directly compared him to the Old Taoist.

This time, Lingxu Old Taoist didn't answer, but directly shook his head, "I'm far from it!"

"Then why are you still talking about the rest of your life!" Wang Sheng unhappily retorted to the Old Taoist, "There is clearly still a road ahead, why not go and see what's there?"

"Easier said than done!" The Old Taoist glared at Wang Sheng, "Is that a road ahead? That's an insurmountable peak!"

"Climb up!" Wang Sheng's face was not joking at all, he said to the Old Taoist, "No matter what it is, climb up! I can give you the entire 'Tao Te Ching'. If you don't have this kind of indomitable spirit, how can you climb up?"

"Wait a moment!" Lingxu Old Taoist turned to Wang Sheng, smiled and said, "Wait until I have thoroughly integrated the Nine Syllable Mantra and Tai Chi, then I will ask for the 'Tao Te Ching'."

He had just said it was an insurmountable peak, but at this moment, there was clearly a kind of 'I shall go despite the opposition of thousands' spirit in Lingxu Old Taoist's eyes. Wang Sheng immediately laughed. What the Old Taoist said was different from what he thought in his heart. It was rare for the Old Taoist to have such a performance.

"Okay! Whenever you need it, just ask me." Wang Sheng agreed with a smile, then became curious again, "Old Taoist, what kind of cultivation method are you practicing now?"

The number of acupoints of the Old Taoist was one more than Wang Sheng's. The Taoist Canon Heart Sutra was definitely not enough for the Old Taoist to cultivate. Wang Sheng was very curious about the Old Taoist's cultivation method. If the Old Taoist had a suitable cultivation method, it might inspire Wang Sheng. You must know that when Wang Sheng advances again, it will be two hundred and fifty-six acupoints.

"It's still the Taoist Canon Heart Sutra." The Old Taoist still didn't hide anything from Wang Sheng. The two of them could be said to be the two most advanced people in the Taoist sect who were practicing the cultivation method, so they could exchange ideas with each other.

Usually, the Old Taoist didn't have many opportunities to communicate with the younger generation. There were many experts of the Qing generation, and there was also a group at the peak of the legend, but they could never break through that obstacle. However, the Old Taoist's method of breaking through the obstacle could not be communicated with them. Finally, there was Wang Sheng, such a monstrous old friend. Although his cultivation was insufficient, the number of acupoints was enough to challenge the Old Taoist. There were really more and more common languages.

"Have you ever tried to bring a few acupoints very close together, and then treat these acupoints as one, and then run the Taoist Canon Heart Sutra?" The Old Taoist was able to break through the twelfth level because he had a very deep accumulation, "I spent a hundred years polishing the Taoist Canon Heart Sutra, and only succeeded in doing this method ten years ago. Which one are you using? You wouldn't simply run the Taoist Canon Heart Sutra and the Guarding Stillness Heart Sutra separately and think it's okay, would you?"

"Of course not!" Wang Sheng became interested when he heard the Old Taoist's words. Treating a few acupoints as one acupoint to use, of course, can use all the extra acupoints. This may not be a direction for him in the future. Thinking of this, Wang Sheng hurriedly asked, "Then what is the maximum number of acupoints you can treat as one?"

"Five!" Lingxu Old Taoist answered without thinking, "Starting from the simplest two, three, four, to the current five. What, do you want to try?"

Wang Sheng nodded without hesitation. Even the current Taoist Canon Guarding Stillness Heart Sutra only used one hundred and seventeen acupoints, eighty-one for the Taoist Canon Heart Sutra, and thirty-six for the Guarding Stillness Heart Sutra. There were still eleven acupoints that were wasted. With this method, of course, he had to use them.

The Old Taoist didn't hide anything from Wang Sheng. Since Wang Sheng was interested, he told Wang Sheng all the experiences and lessons he had learned in his cultivation, and emphasized some things that needed special attention. By the time the Old Taoist finished speaking, the two had already surrounded the hot pot, and with all four hands working together, they had eaten the pot of demon beast meat clean.

"Old Taoist, come and help me see how my cultivation method is." Wang Sheng and the Old Taoist's friendship can be said to be life-or-death. The Old Taoist told his cultivation method, and Wang Sheng was not selfish. He told his Taoist Canon Guarding Stillness Heart Sutra, "However, Old Taoist, you can't pass it on to more people. If the royal family knows about the Guarding Stillness Heart Sutra, I'm afraid it will be a big trouble."

Lingxu Old Taoist certainly knew this and nodded slightly. Then, Wang Sheng began to enthusiastically explain the cultivation method that the combat consciousness villain had spent several months optimizing and integrating from beginning to end.
