Chapter 28 Xiantian Qiankun Jue
Zhou An looked at the two people kneeling in front of him and asked calmly: "Who are you? How did you find this place?"
"I'm the leader of the Red Soul Sect. I'm good at controlling ghosts and monsters, so I was able to find this place. Then I used a magic weapon to dig a passage." The man in brown cloth answered quickly, and the man next to him also revealed his identity as the vice president.
"Hand over all the secret cultivation methods of your Red Soul Sect." Zhou An said.
The two looked at each other with hesitation, but when they saw the Emperor Sword flying towards them, the Sect Master immediately said, "The method of cultivation is in the secret room of our sect. It is not with me."
"Well, where is the Red Soul Sect?" Zhou An asked again.
"Inside Kungu." The sect leader said helplessly.
Zhou An sighed, and with a thought, the Emperor's Sword turned into a red light and pierced through the necks of the two men in the blink of an eye, and two heads rolled down.
He did have some thoughts just now, wanting to recruit the Red Soul Sect as his subordinates, but the eyes of these two people flickered when they answered, and their faces did not show that they were loyal people, so Zhou An lost the last bit of trust in them and killed them directly.
Walking up to the two of them, when Zhou An asked about the method of cultivation just now, the sect leader glanced at the leather bag on his waist.
After searching these people, we found various different methods of cultivation, almost all of which were methods of ghost cultivation.
After he collected all these, he looked at the sarcophagus in the middle and reached out to push the lid open.
It was actually empty inside, but words carved with a sharp blade were seen on the inner wall of the coffin lid.
Unfortunately, most of the words have been crossed out by someone with a sword, and only a few can still be seen clearly.
From these words, we can roughly analyze that Emperor Qianyuan was in seclusion here to comprehend the vast Qiankun Jue. With the help of the secret books collected from various places and the information obtained indirectly from the Demon Suppression Bureau, he created the Xiantian Qiankun Jue.
Based on the vast Qiankun Jue, transform one's own internal force into innate true qi.
There is another sentence at the end to remind that the Sun, Moon and Universe Pearl is an immortal treasure and one should not allow it to appear in the world without the fourth level of innate cultivation, otherwise it will surely bring disaster to the royal family.
After reading these contents, Zhou An glanced around the place and walked around the sarcophagus. He found that the cracks between the stone slabs on the ground formed a peculiar pattern, which exactly matched the Bagua diagram with the patterns on the surrounding stone walls.
Seeing similar runes on both sides of the sarcophagus and on the top of the tomb, Zhou An smiled and said, "Emperor Taizu is also a master of formations. He actually combined the Bagua diagram with the mechanism. If I hadn't learned the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady Scroll, I really wouldn't understand it."
He walked over, grabbed a corner of the sarcophagus and pushed it. After the sarcophagus turned to one direction, he stopped, waited for three seconds, and pushed the sarcophagus again to another direction.
Do this eight times in a row, just like rearranging the directions of the Eight Trigrams, and there is no prompt in the middle to see if it is correct.
After eight pushes, a red and a blue light emerged from the cracks in the floor tiles and flew in front of Zhou An.
The two colors of light formed a Yin-Yang fish light ball, forming a formation light pattern, and then actually tore open a small space, revealing the stone box inside.
After he reached out and took out the stone box, the space crack disappeared, and then the red and blue light disappeared as well.
He opened the stone box, and two beads, one golden and one white, appeared inside.
"This is the Sun and Moon Universe Pearl!" Zhou An was overjoyed. He suddenly sensed that this fairy treasure was about to trigger celestial phenomena. He immediately put it into the system space. The strange phenomenon of heaven and earth that had just been attracted by the fairy treasure dissipated before it took shape.
Zhou An smiled and controlled the Emperor's Sword to fly towards the cave opened by the Red Soul Sect. The sword blade flew and the stone wall of the passage was cut open. Soon the stones and soil collapsed, blocking the passage. Then the Emperor's Sword penetrated the soil and flew back.
After jumping back to the original place, he immediately sat down cross-legged and used the Xiantian Qiankun Jue obtained by signing in. This was a technique rewarded by the system and could be used directly after learning it.
At this time, the 300 years of internal strength in the body, pulled by the mysterious power of the system, quickly condenses and transforms into innate true qi.
Originally, the process of transforming the innate true qi from the tenth level of acquired qi to the first level of innate qi is relatively slow. It will take about a year for ordinary people if there are no bottlenecks.
It only took Zhou An an hour to transform all of his internal energy. This was because his internal energy was too enormous. It usually took others around 60 years to reach the tenth level of acquired internal energy, and some with a lucky encounter would take 70 to 80 years, and those who could reach a hundred years were extremely rare.
When the transformation is completed, the body is surrounded by innate true qi, and two streams of red and blue appear.
After finishing the exercise, the two streams of true energy returned to Dantian. He felt a brand-new power and soon realized that internal force was his own strength, and that the innate true energy was about to borrow the power of nature.
No wonder most spells require innate true Qi to cast. Now this Vajra Subduing Demon Seal should be usable. This Buddhist spell to restrain demons should be quite effective.
When an innate cultivator reaches the peak of the third, sixth, or ninth level, he will be met with a heavenly tribulation. The higher the level of cultivation, the stronger the tribulation. At the same time, it is also accompanied by a test of one's inner demons. The more things one does against one's will, the stronger the inner demons will be.
This is also why practitioners of Taoism have to exorcise demons and eliminate evil, in order to refine their minds. To put it bluntly, it is to make themselves feel that they have done a great thing and to make themselves feel at ease, so that the demons in their hearts will be weakened.
As for why the evil ways or even the demonic ways are not afraid of these things, he doesn't know. Since he has never practiced them, he naturally doesn't understand.
After reaching the first level of innateness, he once again controlled the Emperor's Sword. Red mysterious light flowed on the sword body, and the speed and power were raised to a new level, which was completely different from the original simple flying of the sword.
"The words crossed out on the inside of the coffin lid should be the secret method of Xiantian Qiankun Jue. Emperor Qianyuan carved the method himself, so there is no need to cross it out. Moreover, Emperor Qianyuan has already created a Xiantian-level method. With his talent, it should not be difficult for him to reach the Xiantian realm. If he is still alive, then it makes sense that the stone coffin is empty.
If he was still alive, why did he leave a treasure like the Sun Moon Universe Pearl here? Wouldn't he be stronger after refining it himself?" Zhou An was puzzled, and really couldn't see through it.
After thinking for a long time, he really couldn't guess what Emperor Qianyuan was thinking, so he simply stopped thinking about it and went to the Qiankun Underground Palace.
As soon as they arrived here, the Grand Empress came out with other concubines and palace maids to greet them: "Your Highness."
Zhou An nodded, walked in, sat down in the hall and asked, "Grand Empress, I remember you said last time that if you are born as a royal family member, you will be a royal ghost after death."
"That's right." The Queen Mother nodded.
Zhou An took out the secrets obtained by the Red Soul Sect and placed them on the table and said, "These are the secrets of the Ghost Dao that I just got. They are suitable for you to practice. From today on, you are the Ghost Dao secretly cultivated by the royal family, responsible for secretly monitoring the situation in the cultivation world and ensuring national security."
The Grand Empress Dowager was delighted. If they could practice cultivation, they would not have to live in confusion as lonely ghosts. She immediately knelt down and shouted happily, "We are willing to serve the Emperor."
Zhou An nodded and said, "Very good. When you have made some progress in your cultivation, I will take you to Kungu to destroy the remnants of the Red Soul Sect and seize their cultivation materials. There should be many secret techniques and magic weapons for you to use."
"Yes." The Empress Dowager responded.
"Okay, you can figure it out on your own from now on. I don't understand the ghost path either. The Qiankun Underground Palace will be a national institution, managed by the Grand Empress Dowager. Set up a complete institution, and give me the list when the time comes." Zhou An said, then stood up and left.
"Understood. I respectfully send off His Majesty."
Watched by a group of female ghosts, Zhou An returned to the palace. Now the palace looked somewhat presentable. At least it would not be easily broken into by scoundrels and he would be unable to fight back.
After the internal force was transformed, he already possessed a hundred years of innate true qi. The accumulation of innate true qi is much slower than internal force, and it needs to absorb the energy between heaven and earth and transform it into his own true qi.
The starting point of his innate realm is a hundred years, while other practitioners usually need about ten years to build up their innate qi, and the peak of the first level of innate realm is also a hundred years of cultivation.
In other words, Zhou An can accommodate much more innate true qi than others in each level of practice. The exact amount will only be known after practicing.
What is recorded in the Xiantian Qiankun Jue is what Emperor Qianyuan recorded based on the information he collected. Even when Emperor Qianyuan himself was at the peak of the tenth level of the acquired realm, he only had 120 years of internal strength. Naturally, he could not explain Zhou An's situation.
Nowadays, elixirs that can increase internal strength are no longer useful. The natural treasures that can increase innate true qi are extremely rare. Almost everyone has only seen them in books, and very few have seen them, let alone eaten them.
