Chapter 30 Leaving

  Chapter 30 Leaving

  In Zhang Cheng's subconscious, the "Mahamudra" only produces power when hand seals and visualization of Buddha images occur simultaneously, because this is what he concluded when practicing the first seal, the unmoving Vairocana seal.

  So he naturally thought that other mudras in "Mahamudra" also need to be performed simultaneously with visualization to have an effect.

  However, today's discovery changed his view on this. Take the second seal of Vajra Wheel for example. Although he didn't form a hand seal at the moment, the effect of the second seal still existed, it was just not as strong and obvious as when used together with a hand seal.

  This also made him realize that the "Mizong Daxinyin" was not as simple as he had imagined, and at the same time, it also gave him a wake-up call during his practice, reminding him that he couldn't just rely on recognition to understand this technique. He needed to constantly try out various possibilities, only then could he gain a deeper understanding of the mysteries of this technique.

  Now that this condition has been discovered, Zhang Cheng is the most excited, because he is now struggling with the unsolvable problem of not being able to make ends meet when exercising his boxing skills, and after this discovery, he believes there will be substantial progress.

  He then cast aside his other distractions and divided his spirit into three parts, two of which controlled the Earth-Shattering Fist and the Mystic's Breath Control Technique as before, while the third part imagined a Buddha image in his mind and formed it into a second seal.

  In an instant, a stream of spiritual energy was absorbed and injected into Zhang Cheng's body. After being absorbed and refined through the Xuanmen Tu Na technique, it quickly transformed into his internal true energy, which in turn replenished the consumption of the Thunderbolt Fist.

  The effect was very obvious. Although it still couldn't change the fate of being unable to keep up with expenses, it allowed him to persist for twenty rounds instead of ten, a full doubling of his endurance.

  Adding the Earth-Shattering Fist, renowned for its power, at this moment his first-class martial artist's strength can completely annihilate a martial artist of the same level, and even after a dozen or so moves, he can defeat a second-class martial artist.

  With this discovery, Zhang Cheng was overjoyed, after all, Zhang Hu had cultivated for five or six years and only barely reached the strength of a second-rate warrior.

  But he himself had only been practicing for less than a month and already possessed the strength to defeat Zhang Hu, which was something he never thought possible in his dreams. Suddenly, a surge of heroic spirit arose in his heart.

  However, I should quickly raise my cultivation to that of a second-rate warrior. This way, when facing a third-rate warrior, I'll have the power to fight back. At that time, Father won't be troubled by my affairs and might even be proud of me." After getting excited, Zhang Cheng cautioned himself with these words before directly jumping into the water pool to recover.

  In the blink of an eye, another half month has passed. In this half month, Zhang Cheng thoroughly mastered the Earth-Shattering Fist and reached the level of being strong yet gentle that he had mentioned before.

  Moreover, after reaching this level, he discovered that not every punch needs to be infused with a large amount of true energy. The best approach is to pour in all one's strength when it's time to be firm, and when it's time to be soft, use the principles of Taiji to borrow force and counterattack, achieving great effect with minimal effort.

  And so, the amount of true energy consumed by the Ground-Shaking Fist was reduced by another 20%.

  Furthermore, after half a month of non-stop cultivation, Zhang Cheng's cultivation also successfully broke through to the second grade. Of course, he was able to advance so quickly thanks to the medicinal effect of the Jiling Dan; otherwise, even with another half a month, he wouldn't have been able to break through.

  His true energy reserves have increased by more than double, so now he can cast the Dry Region Press for over sixty moves, up from twenty before, and its power is also stronger than before.

  He believes that with his current strength, he can completely defeat a third-class warrior, and even has the strength to rival a fourth-class warrior.

  After all, the level of the Earth-Shattering Fist was too high, ranking among the intermediate fist techniques, and it was also one of the few intermediate fist techniques in the Zhang family and even the entire Shao Yang City.

  This boxing technique is not something that can be learned just by wanting to, and if one's actual strength has not reached the fourth rank, it is impossible to learn. The reason is very simple: there is no sufficient true energy to control it. If you force yourself to practice, not only will you have no power at all, but you will also cause irreparable damage to your body.

  However, Zhang Cheng's situation was special. He had first undergone Dan Chenzi's washing and pulse-taking, and then had been nourished by Wen Biquan for as long as half a month. His body's various organs and meridians were already extremely tough, so even an ordinary fourth-grade warrior couldn't compare to him. Therefore, he was completely able to withstand the impact force brought by the Earth-Shattering Fist.

  It's also because of this that he can now be said to have no opponents below the fourth rank.

  Even a fourth-grade master, unless he has practiced the Earth-Shattering Fist for a very long time and has a certain understanding of it, can't match him. However, such people are rarely seen in Shao Yang City.

  Of course, Zhang Cheng was able to resist a 4th-grade warrior with his 2nd-grade strength, not because of his strong strength, but completely because he took advantage of the Earth-Shattering Fist. Otherwise, with his current cultivation, defeating a 3rd-grade warrior would be his limit.

  "Master, it's been a month, we should leave." Zhang Cheng gathered his things, a month had passed, and he too thought it was time to go back.

  "En, okay!" Xiang Tian responded with a sound, then said: "However, before you leave, put all the medicinal materials here into the storage ring. Who knows if we will come back here in the future? But remember not to hurt their roots, keep them for when you might need them again."

  "Good!" Zhang Cheng responded with a sound, and then under Xiang Tian's guidance, he quickly picked up all the flowers and grasses around him.

  "Alright, let's go!" Xiang Tianyu took a nostalgic glance at the place before merging into the spatial ring and rushing towards Zhang Cheng, saying: "The exit is in front of my bed inside the room. Once you get there, I'll tell you how to get out."

  "Oh, okay!" Zhang Cheng said, walking towards the stone room. However, halfway there, he suddenly remembered that he didn't enter from the stone room, so he curiously asked: "Hey Master, how did I get in here earlier? I felt like my body was pulled by some force and then I entered this place, but I don't think I came in from the stone room."

  "Heh heh, the entrance and exit of my cave are different. When you come in, it's a one-way transmission array from the outside that leads to the inside. And when you go out, it's another one-way transmission array from the inside leading outwards. This way, even if enemies find their way here, they won't be able to trap me. Got it?" Xiang Tian replied.

  "Oh, I see!" Zhang Cheng didn't continue to ask what the transmission array was, because for this xianxia fan, it didn't need to be explained. He also knew that although he wasn't clear on the details, the overall function should be the same.

  Arriving at the stone room and walking to the front of the bed, Zhang Cheng hadn't even spoken yet when he heard Xiang Tian's voice in his ear: "Have you seen that painting by the bedside? Just touch it."

  "A painting?" Zhang Cheng was stunned, and immediately got out of bed to take a look. He found that there was indeed a painting on the headboard, but it was only as big as a palm, and what's more, it was a picture of a hen pecking at a few grains of rice on the ground. This made Zhang Cheng almost burst out cursing, this was too ridiculous.

  "Master, are you referring to this hen?" Zhang Cheng asked somewhat uncertainly.

  "What a mother hen, that's phoenix or not, what eyes!" Xiang Tian said to Zhang Cheng with a bad tone, then said: "You just touch it and you'll be fine."

  "Huh, phoenix?" Zhang Cheng took a glance at this "phoenix" and thought to himself: "If the phoenix knew someone had painted it in this manner, it would definitely be infuriated to death."

  However, he didn't say it out loud, but instead followed Xiang Tian's instructions and touched the "Phoenix" with its short legs. At this time, the "Phoenix" actually moved a little, turned its head towards Zhang Cheng, opened its small mouth, and suddenly exerted suction on his body. Before Zuo Xiang could react, it directly sucked him in.

  "Ah——" Zhang Cheng didn't expect this situation, and he subconsciously let out a loud cry. However, before his voice could even fade away, he was swallowed up by the "Phoenix".
