Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
It was late at night.
Ye Ping sat alone in the middle of the rear cliff.
There was a piece of rice paper in front of him.
Ye Ping gazed at the starry sky, deep in thought about how he could “guide Qi into the body”.
At this moment, Ye Ping also knew how lousy his aptitude was.
He didn’t know how to conduct the simplest process of guiding spiritual energy into his body at all, how could he practice immortal cultivation?
Actually, it was not Ye Ping’s fault. It was mostly because he had read too many immortal cultivation novels online, in which the protagonists would be able to easily guide Qi into their bodies even if they had poor aptitude.
The sky was as dark as ink.
Staring into the dark night, Ye Ping couldn’t help but think of a poem.
“The sound of falling leaves is like rain, and the moon is as white as snow.”
“I’m alone in my room late at night, who will clean my dusty bed?”
The poem was just right for the mood.
At the thought of this, Ye Ping picked up the brush at the side and then used it to paint on the spotless rice paper.
This time, he did not paint a portrait.
He painted a scenery.
Ye Ping’s brush was like a dancing phoenix and a flying dragon as he wielded it in hand and painted.
A night scene appeared on the rice paper, giving off an inexplicable vibe that was a little depressing.
That was the soul of the painting.
Ye Ping had already reached the realm of soul-painting where he could hide all his inner thoughts and emotions in the painting.
If anyone saw that painting, they would also feel depressed and bitter.
The paintings of experts often contained the essence of their mind and soul.
If one painted when they were happy, the painting would make others feel joy.
If one painted when they were troubled, their woes would be reflected on the painting.
Ye Ping had been painting and making the dark night in his painting seem even deeper, as if he couldn’t see any hope at all. The depression in his heart was fully reflected in the painting.
He recalled how he would be in deep thought everyday for the past few days, all for the sake of guiding spiritual energy into his body. Not only did he cause a delay in time, the main thing was that he hadn’t found a single clue even after studying it for almost a month. How could he not be vexed?
Ye Ping was venting all his emotions on the painting.
All of a sudden, a gust of cold breeze blew over slowly.
The breeze caressed Ye Ping’s face, soothing the dejection and anxiousness within him.
In an instant, Ye Ping stopped painting and raised his head to look at the mountains.
Everything was silent.
The surroundings were quiet.
The Dao was natural.
For some reason, that thought popped up in Ye Ping’s mind.
However, at this moment, he couldn’t help but be stunned.
He stood rooted to the ground.
After a long time, a smile appeared on Ye Ping’s calm face.
“Ah, Eldest Senior Brother, I’m enlightened.”
Ye Ping was enlightened.
He was really enlightened.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Above the sky dome that was initially very calm, black clouds condensed and formed a terrifying vortex.
There were terrifying and loud lightning and thunder that cut through the vast sky like flood dragons.
In the rear cliff, the wind was blowing vigorously.
The rice paper in front of Ye Ping began to rustle in the wind. If not for the fact that it was weighed down by an inkstone, it would have long flown away.
All the dry leaves began flying upwards like it was an apocalypse.
In the distance, Xu Luochen stood in the room and couldn’t help but frown as he listened to the whistling wind.
His face was getting more and more glum.
“Oh gosh!”
Xu Luochen muttered to himself and then looked into the distance.
“I forgot to collect the clothes for Eldest Senior Brother.”
He looked a little distracted and extremely nervous. After all, Su Changyu’s most valuable piece of clothing was still hanging outside. If it was blown away by the wind, he would have to face Su Changyu’s wrath.
At the rear cliff of Qingyun Dao Sect, Ye Ping had already comprehended the mysteries of guiding spiritual energy into one’s body.
The Dao was natural.
He was overly eager and kept wanting to guide the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that it would be better to relax and let the spiritual energy of heaven and earth enter his body on its own.
It had to be in accordance with the Dao of Heaven and Earth and the Dao of nature.
Ye Ping suddenly had an epiphany that guiding spiritual energy into his body was more of an exchange of spiritual energy. If the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was willing to enter one’s body, it would. If not, there would be no need to force it.
It would all depend on the spiritual energy’s will.
That was also the reason that Ye Ping decided to relax and stop trying to force spiritual energy into his body. Instead, he let nature take its course and allowed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to choose for itself.
In an instant, the spiritual energy within hundreds of kilometers around Ye Ping began surging into his body in a frenzy.
Above the dome of the sky, the spiritual energy vortex condensed, but only cultivators who had cultivated the spiritual energy gazing technique would be able to see such a scene.
Spiritual energy condensed around Ye Ping, forming a tornado-like vortex that absorbed a massive amount of spiritual energy.
In an instant, the spiritual energy surged into Ye Ping’s body like a vast ocean. Without hesitation, he immediately activated the Immortal Aperture.
Boom!
It seemed like a layer of membrane had broken.
In his mind, the constellation map formed by 36 stars began emanating light and forming the shadow of a True Dragon.
The True Dragon was so large that the universe seemed insignificant in front of him.
It could destroy the heavens and earth in a moment, and had control over time and space. Its gaze was extremely horrifying and one would go berserk just by taking a glance at it.
Boom!
At this moment, the Ancient Godfiend shadow appeared in Ye Ping’s mind. It was just as mighty as the Torch Dragon.
Roar!
A dragon roar exploded.
At this moment, Ye Ping had an indescribable feeling that made him feel like his soul was about to explode.
However, as the Ancient Godfiend’s voice sounded, the feeling suddenly vanished.
At the same time, the dragon shadow disappeared, and so did the shadow of Ancient Godfiend. At the same time, the world outside quietened down too and everything returned to normal.
“Torch Dragon Immortal Aperture”
With the disappearance of the dragon shadow and the shadow of the Ancient Godfiend, a massive amount of information appeared in Ye Ping’s mind.
Each person’s body contained a hidden Immortal Aperture.
However, each person’s Immortal Aperture was different.
Through the information that appeared in his mind, Ye Ping understood that his Immortal Aperture was called the Torch Dragon Immortal Aperture.
As he continued to activate his Immortal Aperture, he would gradually receive the inheritance.
“Torch Dragon? Torch Dragon Jiu Yin?”
After understanding what kind of Immortal Aperture he had, Ye Ping couldn’t help but be shocked and bewildered.
He didn’t know if the Torch Dragon was the Torch Dragon Jiu Yin.
If it was the Torch Dragon Jiu Yin, it would be horrifying.
The Torch Dragon Jiu Yin was the most terrifying divine beast in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
In fact, even in the orthodox ancient books about the Dao, the Torch Dragon Jiu Yin was still the creator of everything in the world.
It mastered time and space, and could go back to the past or travel to the future. It knew and understood everything. It was invincible, omnipotent, invisible and limitless.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s the Torch Dragon Jiu Yin or not. Now that I’ve opened my Immortal Aperture, I can start practicing the Ancient Godfiend technique.”
After thinking about it, Ye Ping did not continue to dwell on that issue.
Be it the Torch Dragon or the Torch Dragon Jiu Yin, it no longer mattered. It would naturally be good if it was, but Ye Ping wouldn’t be upset if it wasn’t.
The thing he had to do now was to cultivate the Ancient Godfiend Body Tempering Technique.
However, before doing that, there was something else to be done.
Ye Ping glanced at the darkness of the night before adding some stars to the rice paper.
It was just a simple addition but the mood instantly changed.
There was endless darkness in the painting that was filled with depression. As the stars were added, it immediately felt like the silver lining of the cloud could be seen.
With his enlightenment, Ye Ping was no longer depressed, and naturally, his painting was in the right mood.
