Chapter 347: Chapter 284: Expectations for the Cultivation Path
Translator: 549690339
There was no doubt about the message that had come from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. After all, the superintendent of the observatory had a profoundly high and unfathomable spiritual cultivation, even having one foot already stepping into the legendary realm of the Celestial Humans. Messages from such a powerful being would definitely not have any error.
The governor of Yunzhong County ordered the Black Cloud Knights to lead the troops out of the city, drawing the attention of Da Li’s army.
On the other hand, he quietly dispatched Guo Yi, a commander of the Black Cloud Knights, to search for Young Master Min in Yunzhong grassland.
What he didn’t know was that, just as he was making this decision, Pei Xuanjing, who had just left the city, ran directly into a group of Da Li cavalry who were searching for him.
The strong smell of blood lingered several miles away, but he didn’t care about the dozens of Da Li cavalry in front of him. His expression was indifferent, his mind calm without a trace of ripples, as if he was not the one who had just killed these people.
He had long been aware of the Da Li dynasty’s intention to hunt him, but he didn’t care, assuming this was all within his expectations.
This was already an unknown number of Da Li cavalry he had killed on his journey, and to these foreign invaders, Pei Xuanjing naturally showed no mercy.
He dusted off his clothes, leapt onto a war horse, and headed in the direction of Yunzhong County.
The cold wind was dreary, and the flakes of snow drifted down from the sky. Unconsciously, winter had arrived.
Pei Xuanjing drove the horse forward, his spirit wandering. With only a sliver of his mind left on guard, his eyes half-closed, he directed most of his attention to contemplating his spiritual cultivation.
As for how to step into the Heavenly Rank next, he needed to think about it.
He also understood that if he followed the path of spiritual cultivation in this world, he only needed to comprehend the mysteries of the Mysterious Pass in order, break through the Mysterious Pass to sense heaven and earth, and then he could naturally step into the Heavenly Rank.
However, Pei Xuanjing, who had learned from both this world and the original Daming World, had his unique understanding of the road ahead.
Although the spiritual cultivation of this world is unique in Qi Refinement and is much more prosperous than the Daming World.
However, the fact that Pei Xuanjing was able to kill a Heavenly Rank strongman with the power of the Yin Spirit proved that this path was not perfect and at least had some flaws.
The Way of Essence Refinement, Path of Qi Refinement, and Spiritual Refinement.
These three paths were the spiritual cultivation paths that Pei Xuanjing had determined after countless explorations and research. Even now, although some deviation, the general direction is correct.
He had already condensed the Yin Spirit, which could be said to have followed the path he had originally deduced.
As for the Way of Essence Refinement, Pei Xuanjing initially thought that the first step should be to condense acupoints. Later, he discovered that the physical body should first go through a rebirth to step into the Spirit Realm, and then continue to condense acupoints.
As for the Dao of Qi Refining, by using the Qi within his body to stimulate the force of Heaven and Earth, born of Heaven and Earth but surpasses Heaven and Earth. There is a similar ingeniousness to the Heavenly Path of this world.
Thus, Pei Xuanjing always believed that only by cultivating the Three Ways simultaneously, advancing essence, Qi, and spirit together is truly the perfect path.
What he is considering now is, since breaking through the Mysterious Pass and sensing the Heaven and Earth can connect to the force of Heaven and Earth all around and control the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
Then can he take this opportunity to use this to nourish his physical body, let his body enter the Spirit Realm at this moment, thereby saving many years of hard cultivation.
Shenxiao True Qi was circulating in his body, constantly refining his physical body.
With his spirit wandering, Pei Xuanjing focused on sensing the changes in the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi around him, trying to release his True Qi to combine with it and stimulate the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
Clip-clop…
The horse moved forward, and Pei Xuanjing’s presence gradually became weaker, as if he was about to merge with Heaven and Earth.
The Shenxiao True Qi around him was sometimes gentle, sometimes violent, sometimes calm, and sometimes cold. It was like the change of four seasons revolving around him, which then affected the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence Qi.
Where the horse stepped, the originally yellow grass and trees beneath his feet sometimes gained life against the seasons, while others seemed to wither rapidly. It was a scene of great diversity.
Hmm?
Pei Xuanjing felt the horse suddenly pause and stop.
He woke up from his meditation and looked straight ahead.
Hundreds of Da Li cavalry were lined up in battle formation, unknowingly surrounding Pei Xuanjing.
“Fire arrows!”
These Da Li cavalry didn’t even bother to waste their words with Pei Xuanjing. They decisively picked up their bows and shot arrows, with countless arrow rains falling from the sky.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…
Countless strong crossbows released a rain of arrows, coming from all directions. These crossbow arrows were not ordinary arrows, but were made of Mysterious Iron, specifically Gang-breaking Arrows designed for Martial Arts Cultivators.
Martial Artists at the third realm, the Gang Qi Realm, had extraordinary Gang Qi that was extremely fierce and capable of tremendous damage. Ordinary soldiers simply couldn’t handle it, primarily because they couldn’t get close.
Therefore, these specially made Gang-breaking Arrows were almost the nemesis of Martial Artists in the Gang Qi Realm.
Seeing the fierce arrow rain, Pei Xuanjing’s expression didn’t change, his eyes were as calm as an old well, and there was not a ripple in his heart.
He just quietly sat on the warhorse, waiting for the arrow rain to fall. As it did, his True Qi surged.
A strong gust swept out, and vast amounts of True Qi were released, enveloping all of the arrow rain within.
Then he operated the Universe Shift method of borrowing force, lightly swung his sleeve, and the arrow rain followed his sleeve’s motion, making a sharp turn and falling towards the cavalry.
Using Pei Xuanjing’s method of returning the favor, the power of the arrow rain not only didn’t decrease but had become even greater.
Pfft…
The cavalry had not expected Pei Xuanjing to have such a method and couldn’t dodge in time. In the blink of an eye, many of them had been pierced by sharp arrows and fallen from their horses.
Pei Xuanjing chuckled, just about to make a move when his gaze was suddenly drawn to the north.
A line of warriors clad in dark armor were storming in, their momentum thunderous.
Black Cloud Knights!
Pei Xuanjing raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that these were the people Mr. Pei Laozhu had sent.
He didn’t continue to make a move, instead leaving these men to the arriving Black Cloud Knights.
“So you’re saying this is an order from the Imperial Astronomical Observatory?”
Pei Xuanjing accompanied Guo Yi, the officer of the Black Cloud Knights, on horseback. After listening to recent events, he asked.
Regarding Young Master Min, despite being older, Guo Yi didn’t presume to regard himself as his senior.
As a third order martial artist, being able to kill the strong at Heavenly Rank was unheard of. Such talent and strength were in great demand in the military which revered the strong. How could he not respect such a person?
Moreover, he was valued by the mysterious superintendent of the Imperial Astronomical Observatory in the Capital. In the future, he was sure to be prosperous and hold a high position.
Of course, the most critical point was that Guo Yi had seen the numerous dead
Da Li cavalry along the way.
Looking at this young man with a juvenile face, who could imagine that his mind was so deadly?
