Chapter 217, Volume 3: The Heavenly Fragrance is Actually Myself (4k)
In the secret room,
After experiencing this sense of "oneness with nature" in the main world for a moment...
Li Xijun slowly unrolled the bamboo scroll that emitted a faint, elegant fragrance.
The bamboo has an antique color and a warm, smooth feel, clearly indicating that it is no ordinary product.
The writing on it was not written with ink, but imprinted with some kind of force. Between the strokes, there was a faint, strange fragrance flowing through it, which was captivating.
Furthermore, contrary to Li Xijun's expectations, the contents of this letter clearly stated at the outset...
It is not some heretical or cryptic statement, but rather it conveys a profound sense of exploring the origins and directly addressing the human heart:
"The Way of Heaven is divided into Yin and Yang, which flow and transform, reaching a state of boundless chaos. The Way of Humanity is divided into Righteousness and Evil, which are perceived by the nose as fragrance and stench. Fragrance is righteousness, which everyone likes; stench is evil, which everyone dislikes. Why? Because at birth, human nature is inherently good, drawn to beauty and abhorring filth—this is the innate spirituality… The Three Volumes of Heavenly Fragrance follow this principle, absorbing the myriad fragrances of Heaven and Earth, clarifying the mind and seeing one's true nature, and attaining the state of being a celestial being…"
Li Xijun nodded slightly.
Having cultivated numerous martial arts techniques, he can now be considered an expert in connoisseurship.
Reading it now, I only feel that the opening theme is quite remarkable, and it certainly has the air of a superior classic.
This made him decide to continue reading:
The "Three Volumes of Heavenly Fragrance" is divided into three grades:
The "Human Fragrance Scroll" records the proportions and methods of refining hundreds of rare and precious flowers, herbs, and spices. It's not simply about creating alluring scents; its true core lies in the fact that through specific formulas, the resulting "human fragrance" subtly nourishes the blood and qi, moisturizes the skin, and with long-term use, can make women radiant, with snow-white skin, and a more graceful and beautiful figure, enhancing their charm from the inside out. It can be considered a rather sophisticated technique for preserving youth and health.
Earth Fragrance Scroll: This scroll begins to involve martial arts cultivation. It requires the collection of a large number of rare and exotic wood-type flowers and herbs, as well as rare and precious natural materials, which contain pure vitality. The original fragrance of these materials must be fused together in a furnace using a secret method to create "Earth Fragrance".
This incense is not meant to be lit, but rather its fragrance is guided into the body by one's true energy. It can greatly nourish the foundation of the physical body, stimulate the vitality within the body, and make the practitioner's physique far superior to that of ordinary people, with blood and energy as strong as mercury and meridians strong and resilient.
Especially when breaking through cultivation barriers, it can provide a massive boost of vital energy, greatly increasing the success rate and accelerating cultivation speed. Those who successfully cultivate this method will naturally exude a refined, elegant fragrance of herbs and trees, which is refreshing and invigorating, unconsciously inspiring goodwill.
Having read this far, Li Xijun understood.
The first two volumes of the "Three Volumes of Heavenly Fragrance" are actually the orthodox teachings.
In particular, the Earth Incense Scroll would be of great benefit to him as he cultivated the Azure Dragon Wood Longevity Technique. If he could cultivate the Earth Incense, it would also accelerate his enlightenment.
Thinking of this,
His gaze fell on the last Heavenly Fragrance Scroll, and his curiosity grew even stronger. What kind of magic could this top-grade Heavenly Fragrance Scroll contain?
But as he watched, Li Xijun's expression gradually became serious.
The explanation of the Heavenly Fragrance Scroll has already transcended the scope of ordinary martial arts, taking on a mythological color of a fantasy worldview.
Its opening statement presents an absurd viewpoint:
"One flower, one world; one leaf, one Bodhi. The myriad worlds are as numerous as the sands of the Ganges, endless and boundless. Yet the Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Dao is forty-nine, and humanity escapes one. Among the myriad worlds, there must be many beings similar to 'me,' like reflections in a mirror, like the moon reflected in water."
The core principle of the Heavenly Fragrance Scroll is that:
To cultivate the Heavenly Fragrance, one must use those from among the myriad realms who resemble "me" as the elixir. These elixirs, who already possess an inexplicable, mysterious connection to "me," must be captured.
"If one can use the supreme secret method to draw its origin here, refine it and integrate it into oneself."
With each "great elixir" refined, "my" life essence will grow stronger, and my aptitude, comprehension, innate constitution, and even the unseen fortune will be fundamentally improved and perfected, evolving towards a "perfect" life form.
In this way, there is no need to deliberately use any charm techniques.
The existence of "I" itself,
Because of the perfection of its life level and the power of its origin, it will naturally attract and influence all living things around it.
This unconsciously makes them feel close to "me", trust, and even worship, like moths drawn to a flame, stemming from instinct.
however,
Although this method sounds like it defies the heavens, it is actually extremely difficult and dangerous.
Those who resemble the image in the mirror or the moon's reflection in the water among all the myriad realms are already extremely rare.
Finding it across boundaries is even more difficult than climbing to the heavens.
The final method of devouring and refining was further annotated with several different notes.
Almost all of them believed that this method of obtaining the Heavenly Fragrance was too presumptuous.
Compared to the fragrance of people and the fragrance of the earth, the fragrance of heaven is more like a concept.
The method is not practical, and the slightest carelessness can lead to unpredictable backlash.
Furthermore, there will inevitably be losses during the refining process, resulting in low efficiency.
therefore,
At the end of the text, it is clear that the people of the Hehuan Xuannv Sect added a relatively simple, yet extremely harsh, method of "deterioration":
The goal is to find someone with a naturally strong foundation, abundant fortune, and whose cultivation method and aura are extremely compatible with one's own, and to become their Daoist partner.
Through a special Yin-Yang dual cultivation method, they mutually borrow each other's origins, jointly enhancing their aptitude and comprehension, which can greatly help them break through major realm barriers.
This was clearly Fairy Muyue's original plan.
"I see……"
Li Xijun suddenly realized, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
"She's stuck at the bottleneck of the third level of outdoor scenery, and she sees me as the 'great medicine' and cauldron to help her break through! No wonder she suddenly attacked and captured me."
Li Xijun finally figured out the cause and effect of the previous chaotic battle.
I just feel that some developments are indeed not as satisfactory as we hoped.
It was a good thing that he defeated three of the top ten geniuses on the Human Ranking when he was gathered in Beiyan County City, thereby gaining an early understanding of the "unity of heaven and man" realm.
However, this also attracted the attention of a Grandmaster like Fairy Muyue, who was ranked on the Earth Ranking.
The original plan to join forces with General Zhao Longcheng to fish out fish and then kill fish like the withered old man was changed, leading to a chaotic battle.
"Well, getting the Three Volumes of Heavenly Fragrance from her is not a bad gain."
"We're about to go to the 'Land of Dragon Origin'. Although it's polluted, it's said to produce all sorts of rare and exotic wood-based flowers and herbs because of the eternal cherry blossom tree at the center of the world."
"If we can use the abundant natural resources of the main world to refine the Earth Incense Scroll, it will not be difficult to open the acupoints one after another. We can directly cultivate the nasal and oral acupoints and condense all seven acupoints first."
"not to mention"
Li Xijun glanced at the Heavenly Fragrance Scroll again, at the method for using the beings in the Mirror of Myriad Realms as a great elixir to devour them, for a moment.
immediately,
His expression became extremely subtle.
The core concept described in this "Heavenly Fragrance Scroll" is to refine similar beings from other worlds to complete one's own origin.
Why does it sound so familiar?
Isn't this precisely the ability he possesses to "bind others and self"?
and,
His method seemed to be many times more powerful and perfect than the heretical methods recorded in the "Three Volumes of Heavenly Fragrance".
He doesn't need to actively and painstakingly sense or lock onto anything; the "other selves" of all the heavens and myriad realms will automatically manifest under the great power of the Great Luo Mark.
He doesn't need to risk crossing boundaries to be pulled; the Great Luo Mark itself has the ability to travel.
He doesn't need to go through the "refining" process that inevitably involves losses. Each convergence is the purest, most thorough, and waste-free fusion of the origin.
"My [Self-Convergence] technique is far more efficient than your Heavenly Fragrance method..."
Li Xijun stroked the bamboo slips, suddenly understanding why he had hardly encountered any malice.
Furthermore, during my journey of cultivation in the main world, I encountered many people willing to help me.
"The Heavenly Fragrance Scroll of the Three Scrolls of Heavenly Fragrance, for me, is not valuable because of its dangerous and inefficient method of refining the 'other self,' but because of its theoretical explanation of the existence of the 'other self,' and its description of the perfect path to improvement at the source, which provides important reference and confirmation."
"This 'gift' from Fairy Muyue is quite interesting."
Li Xijun put away the bamboo slips, his gaze deep and unfathomable.
Although the other party's offering of the "Three Scrolls of Heavenly Fragrance" was somewhat intended to entice him into dual cultivation, this scroll was indeed quite valuable to him.
As for the dual cultivation method... he glanced at it and then paid no more attention to it.
Relying on the origin of others is ultimately a heretical path. It is far more solid and promising than to restrain oneself from "others" and achieve perfect integration.
He put away the bamboo slips, and his mind gained a clearer understanding of his future path of cultivation.
However, the most urgent task is still to improve one's cultivation level in the main world.
After putting away the "Three Volumes of Heavenly Fragrance," Li Xijun slowly got up and pushed open the door.
"Counting the time, half a month has already passed. Now we can finally go to that corrupted mythical world."
The door to the secret room opened.
Li Xijun walked out slowly, his aura harmonious and restrained, as if he were in sync with the breath of the entire world for a moment.
Just by standing there, he gives people the feeling that he was meant to be there, in harmony with his surroundings, without any distinction between himself and them.
When he arrived at the meeting point in the attic hall where he had arranged to meet the Nationalist team members, the others were already waiting there.
Now, the National Team members, whose strength has also improved, meet Li Xijun.
They all subconsciously felt that something about the captain seemed different, but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.
He seemed more composed, and when his gaze swept across the room, it seemed to reflect the subtle changes in the surrounding environment, inspiring awe yet also a sense of inexplicable comfort.
"Captain, you seem to have made considerable progress during your seclusion this time," Zhou Jiming greeted him, his tone unconsciously more respectful than usual.
Li Xijun, who wasn't very familiar with this reserve player from the Zhou family, nodded slightly but didn't say much.
Jiang Qiyue and Su Nianyi, who were already used to Li Xijun's rapid progress after just one seclusion, didn't react much and had long since taken it for granted.
Cai Meng'er couldn't help but scrutinize him, seemingly having some suspicions.
Just as this senior student, whose artistic conception was in its later stages, was about to speak...
"Bang"
The doors to the hall opened, and Professor Xu and Su Nianying, the teachers leading the group, arrived.
Professor Xu, still with his usual rigorous academic demeanor, adjusted his glasses, preparing to discuss the key points and precautions for the upcoming training in the mythical world.
But as soon as he glanced over, Su Nianying on the other side suddenly stopped in her tracks, her delicate body trembled violently, her beautiful eyes widened instantly, and her pretty face was filled with disbelief.
She blurted it out almost without thinking, her voice trembling slightly:
"The realm of heaven and man? hope Jun, you...you've broken through to the unity of heaven and man!"
These words were like a thunderclap from a clear sky.
This nearly caused Professor Xu, who had just gotten used to adjusting his glasses, to break them.
His gaze suddenly fixed on Li Xijun.
All the Nationalist team members present were instantly shocked. They stared wide-eyed, turned their heads, and looked at Li Xijun as if he were a monster.
"Harmony between humanity and nature?!"
"That legendary state where 'heaven and earth were born together with me, and all things are one with me'?"
"Wasn't it said that only experts at the Outer Realm level had a chance to comprehend it?"
"The captain is only... in the mid-stage of the Intent Realm, right? How is that possible?"
Wei Ying's reaction was the most pronounced.
She clearly remembered that Li Xijun had just perfected his killing sword intent at sea.
Only half a month has passed, and this person has suddenly broken through to the state of oneness with nature?
She couldn't quite comprehend the speed of this progress.
However, for Su Nianyi, Ju Mengya, Jiang Qiyue, and the others...
They accepted the situation smoothly and finally understood where that inexplicable feeling came from.
Professor Xu adjusted his glasses, carefully scrutinizing Li Xijun, his eyes gleaming, and murmured:
"As expected... the energy is perfectly harmonious, in sync with heaven and earth... incredible, truly incredible! Xi-jun, you always manage to surprise us!"
Faced with everyone's shock, Li Xijun simply nodded calmly, tacitly agreeing, without offering any further explanation.
Anyway, being a martial arts prodigy has been his consistent persona from high school to now.
When he went into seclusion, he simply felt the moment and instantly comprehended the universe and nature, breaking through to the realm of the divine. Is there anything strange about that?
Just as Ye Ningxue's expression was somewhat complicated, and she was about to speak several times...
A familiar figure in a suit appeared at the door.
However, this person knocked on the door very respectfully first, and then, without coming in, respectfully asked from outside the door:
"The flying vehicle to the [Land of Dragon Origin] is ready. Everyone from the Great Xia Kingdom, shall we depart?"
The liaison officer from the Sakura Kingdom, Saburo Kita, was seen asking questions respectfully, his attitude noticeably more humble than when he first arrived.
Seeing this, Professor Xu also spoke up:
"Now that everyone is here, let's get on the aircraft. hope Jun, calm down a bit. I'll explain the information about the [Land of Dragon Origin] to you all on the aircraft later."
Each member of the National Guard team, possessing exceptional mental fortitude, suppressed the turmoil of thoughts surging within them.
First, they boarded a specially modified aircraft with the mischievous Saburo.
The aircraft quickly took off and sped towards the famous Mount Fuji.
At this time,
Professor Xu then began to explain:
"【Land of Dragon Origin】produces rare and precious treasures of the water and wood elements, the most famous of which is the eternally blooming cherry blossom tree at the center of the world. The eternal flower born from this tree is a top-tier rare and precious wood-type treasure, but there is also a divine dragon atop this cherry blossom."
