Chapter 33: Wuji's Legacy
Yang Feng supported his weak body and sat cross-legged on the cold bed, then cleared all distractions from his mind and began to focus on practicing the "Easy Tendon and Bone" chapter of the Nine Yin Manual. Slowly, Yang Feng entered a state of clarity.
Yang Feng's perception of the surrounding situation naturally dropped to its lowest point as he entered a state of emptiness, but in this cave, Yang Feng didn't have to worry about being ambushed by anyone, so he could cultivate with ease.
As Yang Feng silently recited the Easy Cauterization and Hard Wielding manual in his heart, the cold air in the cave and the cold bed beneath him slowly began to surge towards his body, then drilled into his body, transforming into the internal energy of the Easy Cauterization and Hard Wielding manual, spreading throughout Yang Feng's flesh and blood!
Especially the cold bed under Yang Feng's body, with Yang Feng's cultivation, it continuously emits strong cold air. Although this cold air is not as strong as the surrounding ice surface or the ice lotus in the small pool, it has a larger quantity and is softer, making it easier for Yang Feng's body to absorb the cold air emitted by the cold bed.
However, this cold bed has been slowly shrinking after Yang Feng's continuous absorption. Originally with a height of one foot, it is now getting shorter and shorter. Yang Feng had also discovered this situation earlier, but he didn't pay much attention to it. As long as he could absorb the entire cold bed and cultivate the Easy Tendon and Bone Refining Chapter to its peak, allowing his body to reach the realm of rebirth and bone transformation, everything else was unimportant!
However, not all of the cold air was absorbed by Yang Feng. To be precise, it wasn't all because of his cultivation of the Easy Tendon and Bone Refining Chapter that he absorbed it. The majority of the cold energy was actually absorbed by the 365 acupoints on his body during the absorption process, with only a small portion being absorbed by Yang Feng's cultivation of the Easy Tendon and Bone Refining Chapter. However, Yang Feng was unaware of this, otherwise, such a large amount of cold energy would have been enough for him to transform his body completely.
Yang Feng's body became very strange after his rebirth, and inexplicable things kept happening to him. He knew that the acupoints all over his body could release extremely pure yin and yang energy, but he had no idea that these acupoints were also constantly absorbing yin and yang energy at the same time. Each of the major acupoints on his body was like a bottomless pit, and no matter how much yin and yang energy they absorbed, they would never be full, and continued to absorb without stopping.
Most of the cold air emitted by the cold bed was absorbed by Yang Feng's major acupoints, which slowed down his practice of Yi Jin Jing, but a large amount of cold air was stored in his acupoints and transformed into more refined yin energy. If Yang Feng were to be injured or exhausted again, this energy could be used for timely treatment and replenishment, preventing him from being in danger for an extended period. Overall, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks!
As Yang Feng continued to cultivate the Easy Tendon and Bone Transformation Chapter, the internal energy transformed from cold air gradually dispersed throughout his entire body. A soft, jade-like glow faintly emanated from his skin, while a subtle, shimmering light could be seen floating within him.
And as Yang Feng's training progressed day by day, the bulging muscles on his body began to shrink slowly, and the originally angular muscle lines gradually became smoother. Although such muscles seemed more perfect, Yang Feng's current physique was not particularly robust, but at least it should be an extremely healthy figure. Moreover, under the cover of this physique, no one would have thought that Yang Feng was a strong man who could knock down Black Gold with just one punch!
Although Yang Feng's physical muscles were slowly disappearing, the continuous transformation of his internal force through Yi Jin Jing made his body strength increase every day. Every muscle became more perfect under the transformation of Yi Jin Jing's internal force. As long as Yang Feng persisted, he would eventually reach the realm of rebirth.
After cultivating for more than two hours, Yang Feng finally woke up and felt that his physical strength had fully recovered. After stretching his body, he stood up. When he saw that the muscles on his body had shrunk a lot again, he couldn't help but smile wryly. The muscles he had cultivated with great difficulty were gone day by day, no matter how hard he trained, they would never come back. This made Yang Feng feel a little helpless. However, although his muscles were not as prominent as before, every time he felt the powerful strength contained in his ordinary body now, Yang Feng still couldn't help but smile.
He turned around and took another look at the cold bed, and Yang Feng found that the cold bed had shrunk by a few points. Originally one foot high, it was now only about an inch or so. It seemed that he couldn't absorb it for much longer before the cold bed would disappear. However, just as Yang Feng was thinking this, he suddenly saw something in the middle of the cold bed, and he leaned over to take a look. Sure enough, he found a piece of leather-like material in the middle of the cold bed, with what seemed to be text on it.
Yang Feng's heart was filled with surprise as he thought to himself, "Could it be that someone had lived here before?" Driven by curiosity, Yang Feng raised his fist and struck the Cold Bed. Anyway, this Cold Bed wouldn't be able to sustain him for much longer, and even if he were to absorb the entire bed, it still wouldn't be enough to bring him to the realm of rebirth. So, he thought, "If I break it, then so be it. There's nothing to regret."
With a loud crash, Yang Feng's full-strength punch surprisingly didn't shatter the ice bed. This shocked Yang Feng, so he circulated his body's true energy and simultaneously used both hands to strike again. After another massive impact, the ice bed finally cracked open with a small gap, but still hadn't completely shattered. Yang Feng was now furious, circulating his true energy once more to deliver several more punches, finally shattering the ice bed and retrieving the items inside.
It was indeed a piece of beast skin, and it was the skin of an ice bear. Yang Feng had been covering himself with this ice bear skin every night when he rested, so he knew at a glance. This piece of ice bear skin wasn't very large, but it was densely covered in writing, all written in small seal script, clearly left behind by ancient people. Fortunately, Yang Feng was fairly familiar with the various scripts of Huaxia, so he didn't have to exert much effort before he knew what the content was.
However, upon closer inspection, Yang Feng was shocked to discover that this piece of animal hide was actually a relic left behind by Zhang Wuji, the leader of the Ming Cult, hundreds of years ago! The text revealed that Zhang Wuji and Zhao Min had retreated to this island after their adventures together. This island was indeed Ice Fire Island. After hiding out for many years, Zhang Wuji successfully cultivated the Nine Yang Divine Skill and comprehended the principles of Taiji yin-yang. He eventually achieved the Great Way of Golden Elixir, while Zhao Min also attained the Golden Elixir with Zhang Wuji's help. In the end, they both broke through the void together. However, since their descendants were not present when they broke through the void, Zhang Wuji wrote down all his life's learnings and the principles of Taiji yin-yang he had comprehended, sealed them in a cold bed, and left them for someone with fate to discover.
However, it is also entrusted that if there are people with fate who obtain the things he left behind, then after they cultivate the martial arts above, when they encounter the descendants of the Zhang family in the future, they must pass on the Taiji Yin Yang principle to the Zhang family's descendants, or be able to help the Zhang family's descendants in times of crisis.
Yang Feng was overjoyed after reading the text, because apart from the Nine Suns Divine Skill that he already knew, there were several other extraordinary and rare skills. First, there was the Tai Chi Fist created by Zhang Sanfeng, as well as the Tai Chi Swordsmanship. These two extraordinary skills were indeed excellent, and it was thanks to them that the Wudang Sect had risen to become one of the top martial arts schools in the past few hundred years, rivaling Shaolin.
Next, there was also the Ming Cult's ultimate skill, Qian Kun Da Nuo Yi (Great Shift of Heaven and Earth). This was a top-level technique, and what made Yang Feng even more thrilled was that this skill would not conflict with the Nine Yin True Classics and the Nine Suns Divine Skill. While cultivating those two divine skills, Yang Feng could also cultivate this ultimate skill!
The greatest power of this ultimate skill lay in its ability to completely shift away the true energy of others that had entered his body. When cultivated to the highest level, no matter how his enemies attacked him, he would not suffer any harm, making himself invincible!
Also, there were some martial arts moves on the Ming Cult's Sacred Fire Order that Yang Feng didn't pay much attention to, he just memorized them first. As for Zhang Wuji's comprehension of the Taiji Yin and Yang principle, Yang Feng took a look and combined it with his own cultivation of the Nine Suns Divine Skill and the Nine Yin Scripture. Yang Feng quickly understood a bit, but to fully comprehend it would still require a long way to go.
These things Yang Feng remembered in his heart and woke up, now he is most eager to start cultivating the Qian Kun Da Nuo Yi Shen Gong, because cultivating this door of absolute learning has no so many restrictions, it does not need to be cultivated at the time when the heaven and earth yin yang gas are balanced, so Yang Feng can cultivate at any time, and having such an absolute learning can also make Yang Feng have another way to save his life in the future!
