Incredible Insight: Cultivating Immortality at Eight, Astonishing Zhang Sanfeng

Chapter 43: Celestial Phenomena Body Refinement, Complementing Each Other

Jin Ling’s situation was extremely unique.

Over the past few days of close observation, Ning Changge had gained a more detailed understanding of Jin Ling’s condition. The initial spiritual energy storm combined with Jin Ling consuming the spiritual fruit had created his current semi-spiritual body. This kind of opportunity couldn’t be replicated. Even if another monkey were placed in a spiritual energy-rich environment and given spiritual pills and fruits, it wouldn’t transform as Jin Ling did.

It could only be said that this was Jin Ling’s own good fortune.

Ning Changge had been contemplating how to cultivate Jin Ling over the past few days.

Directly giving him a cultivation method was unrealistic. The Eternal Evergreen Technique was a method Ning Changge had created for himself, unsuitable for others. As for creating a new technique specifically for Jin Ling, that was also impossible. With Ning Changge’s current foundation, it wasn’t that he couldn’t create one, but it would take a significant amount of time—perhaps a year to create a universal cultivation method. This was why he hadn’t taught his master or senior brothers any cultivation methods yet.

It was more practical to first improve his own cultivation. Once he advanced to the Golden Core stage, creating new methods would be much easier, and the resultant techniques would be even better.

Initially, Ning Changge planned to let Jin Ling cultivate martial arts first and then join his senior brothers in cultivation. However, Jin Ling’s self-devised method of swallowing the essence of the moonlight gave Ning Changge a new idea.

“Absorbing the essence of the moonlight to enhance the physical body and spiritual energy might be a good choice. Jin Ling already has some spiritual energy within him; maybe he can start cultivating earlier,” Ning Changge thought as he observed closely.

Under the scrutiny of his Heavenly Eye, each thread of moonlight entering Jin Ling’s mouth was clearly visible. The moonlight intertwined with the spiritual energy, continuously strengthening his muscles and bones. Although the efficiency was low, the enhancement was real.

“Interesting!” Ning Changge’s interest grew stronger.

With his extraordinary talent for understanding, he loved to explore the essence of things. His Celestial Phenomena Spirit Tempering Technique also had the effect of absorbing the essence of the moonlight, but it was used to temper spiritual sense. Now, seeing Jin Ling absorb the moonlight to temper his body gave him new inspiration.

“The essence of the moonlight, the purple energy of the rising sun, the power of the stars—all belong to celestial phenomena. If the moonlight can temper the body, then the purple energy and the power of the stars should also be able to do so.”

Unconsciously, Ning Changge’s mind began to spark with inspiration.

…

Two days passed.

Ning Changge woke from his meditative state, as if awakening from a dream, with a smile in his eyes.

It was the time when the purple energy of the rising sun was ascending.

Behind him, a vortex of spiritual energy manifested, and the purple energy rolled in from the sky, entering his body. Once inside, it split into two parts: one to strengthen the spiritual sense and the other to temper the body. The effect was even better than when he previously only strengthened his spiritual sense!

“Wonderful!” Ning Changge laughed heartily.

[You observed the spiritual monkey swallowing moonlight, gained further insight into the essence of moonlight, and understood the uses of celestial phenomena’s power. Your Celestial Phenomena Spirit Tempering Technique has advanced further, and you have created the Celestial Phenomena Body Refining Technique!]

Celestial Phenomena Spirit Tempering and Celestial Phenomena Body Refining!

This aligned perfectly with the Dao of Yin-Yang coexistence, achieving a synergy greater than the sum of its parts.

For a moment, Ning Changge felt his understanding of the Dao of Yin-Yang deepen.

He called Jin Ling over.

Jin Ling stood respectfully in front of him. During his days in Wudang, he had been exceptionally happy. He had learned many things, and the Wudang disciples treated him well. He felt unprecedented respect and a growing sense of belonging to Wudang.

Of course, he was most grateful to Ning Changge.

Without Ning Changge, there would be no Jin Ling today.

“Today, I will teach you the Celestial Phenomena Body Refining Technique. This technique was created based on your method of swallowing moonlight. I hope you will diligently cultivate it. In the future, you may awaken supernatural abilities and become a powerful demon king!” Ning Changge said solemnly.

He was indeed curious to see how far Jin Ling could go, but it ultimately depended on Jin Ling’s own fate.

A master leads you to the door; cultivation is up to the individual.

Ning Changge pointed a finger, sending a stream of spiritual light containing the information of the Celestial Phenomena Body Refining Technique into Jin Ling’s mind.

Jin Ling, moved to tears, knelt and kowtowed.

Though he could not speak, he could distinguish between good and evil.

He gestured animatedly, trying to express his gratitude.

Ning Changge chuckled, “I don’t need you to protect me. If one day I am no longer in this world, just watch over Wudang for me.”

Jin Ling nodded earnestly.

“Alright, go and cultivate well. This technique requires diligent practice over time. Also, don’t neglect your martial arts; combined with your spiritual body, it will also offer protection,” Ning Changge advised as he watched Jin Ling respectfully leave.

Ning Changge shook his head slowly.

Taking in Jin Ling was partly to fulfill karma. It was also a calculated move. Jin Ling’s unique physique had already provided inspiration for Ning Changge to create the Celestial Phenomena Body Refining Technique, from which he had greatly benefited. If Jin Ling ever awakened some supernatural ability, Ning Changge would also benefit.

With his extraordinary talent for comprehension, Ning Changge needed more references to grow faster.

This was mutually beneficial.

On Wudang Mountain, life went on peacefully, with the only change being the addition of an intelligent little monkey.

Ning Changge maintained his steady progress, and with the help of the Ascension Spirit Pill and Transformation Spirit Pill, his cultivation advanced rapidly every day.

…

Meanwhile, the Seven Heroes of Wudang and many third-generation disciples finally reached the Shaolin territory.

In the martial world of the Ming Dynasty, news of the Dragon-Slaying Assembly was spreading like wildfire.

Song Yuanqiao and the others witnessed a lot of bloodshed on their journey. There were even massacres, with anyone connected to the Dragon-Slaying Saber meeting a tragic end. Some reckless individuals even attacked the Wudang group.

Fortunately, with their high cultivation levels—everyone at least at the innate stage—they managed to eliminate all attackers.

“Senior Brother, something doesn’t seem right. When the Dragon-Slaying Saber appeared a few years ago, it wasn’t this exaggerated. Why does it seem like everyone has gone mad now?” Zhang Cuishan frowned as he shared his thoughts.

Song Yuanqiao nodded, “You’re right, Fifth Brother. I’ve been thinking these days that there might be some hidden conspiracy behind this. Perhaps someone is trying to stir up chaos in the martial world.”

“What could be their purpose? How would causing chaos in the Ming martial world benefit the person behind this?” everyone pondered, frowning.

The various killings they had seen along the way left them feeling uneasy.

“No matter what, we hope the Dragon-Slaying Assembly proceeds smoothly. Finding the Dragon-Slaying Saber could prevent many innocent deaths.”

The Seven Heroes of Wudang had hearts of chivalry, and Zhang Sanfeng had always taught them so.

At this moment, a swift figure entered the room—it was Mo Shenggu. He spoke urgently, “Senior Brothers, I’ve heard that someone is spreading the news that the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber are keys to the Yang Gong Treasury of the Sui Dynasty!”

The news was so shocking that everyone was stunned for a moment.

Then, Song Yuanqiao’s stern voice rang out, “Nonsense! Though the Sui and Ming Dynasties border each other, the Heavenly Sword and Dragon-Slaying Saber appeared a hundred years ago. How could they be keys to Yang Gong’s Treasury?”

It was obvious that someone had deliberately spread this news to provoke greed.

It might even be an attempt to disrupt the martial worlds of both dynasties simultaneously!

Mo Shenggu smiled wryly, “The problem is that too many people believe it. Their eyes have been blinded by greed.”
