Chapter Twenty-Nine: Twelve Immortal Physiques (Part 1)
Daytime Sky Physique. What kind of physique is this? One of the Twelve Immortal Physiques. It's impossible for anyone in this world to be born with an Immortal Physique.
Immortal Emperor Mingren's Daytime Sky Physique was cultivated, and the Body Scripture he used to cultivate the "Daytime Sky Physique" came from Li Qiye's "Body Scripture"!
Li Qiye understood that the "Body Scripture" had been unforgettable for eternity, so he hid it. At the same time, Li Qiye feared that if he ever lost the "Body Scripture" and his memories of the cultivation techniques were erased.
Therefore, to prevent such a thing from happening, Li Qiye devised a method to pass down the secrets of the "Body Scripture."
Li Qiye put a lot of effort into hiding the mysteries of the Body Scripture within martial arts that all cultivators disdained. At that time, Li Qiye divided the mysteries into three parts and hid them in three unrelated martial arts. These three martial arts totaled one hundred and twenty volumes, including over ten thousand supplementary martial arts techniques!
The mysteries of the "Body Scripture" were hidden within, arranged in an order only Li Qiye knew. Without Li Qiye's order, even if one knew the Body Scripture was hidden inside, they still couldn't extract the complete mysteries of the "Body Scripture"!
At that time, the three martial arts containing the mysteries of the Body Scripture that Li Qiye hid were printed in three different eras. Therefore, these three martial arts spanned three eras and were unrelated!
Across these three eras, Li Qiye printed over a hundred thousand volumes of the three martial arts, which spread far and wide. After these three eras, they were not only circulated in the Human Emperor Realm but also in the other eight realms.
Although all the cultivation techniques in Li Qiye's memory were erased, the order of arrangement was not erased! Therefore, if he ever lost the original "Body Scripture," he could still retrieve the mysteries of the Body Scripture from the "Martial Arts Grand Outline," "Martial Arts Miscellaneous Arts," and "Iron Skin Copper Sinews"!
Throughout eternity, no cultivator had ever seriously read through these three hundred and twenty volumes of martial arts secret manuals. Even if someone practiced martial arts, they couldn't possess all three of these martial arts simultaneously!
The Washing Yan Ancient Sect possessed these three martial arts, which Li Qiye had specifically left behind. He had also given the Washing Yan Ancient Sect an opportunity. If a truly dedicated person could decipher his secret manuals, then perhaps the Washing Yan Ancient Sect could produce another figure like Immortal Emperor Mingren. Even if they couldn't become an Immortal Emperor, they could at least produce an Immortal Physique.
Unfortunately, few descendants of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect had ever read these three martial arts, let alone comprehended their mysteries! It was precisely because of this that the Washing Yan Ancient Sect had not produced a second Immortal Physique since Immortal Emperor Mingren!
Li Qiye spent an entire night extracting the mysteries of the Body Scripture from these one hundred and twenty volumes of martial arts secret manuals.
Looking at the mysteries he had written down, Li Qiye couldn't help but reveal a satisfied smile. He slowly read the compiled mysteries. As Li Qiye imprinted the mysteries of the Body Scripture into his mind, the erased memories gradually reappeared. Finally, the complete "Body Scripture" once again appeared in Li Qiye's memory!
After the complete mysteries of the Body Scripture were imprinted in his mind, Li Qiye burned the transcribed incantations and mysteries. Having endured countless hardships, Li Qiye knew the preciousness of the "Body Scripture" and the disaster it would bring if anyone knew it was in his possession! Therefore, he kept the mysteries of the "Body Scripture" only in his mind.
In fact, the original "Body Scripture" was hidden by Li Qiye. No one in the world besides him could retrieve the original "Body Scripture."
However, Li Qiye wasn't in a hurry to retrieve the original "Body Scripture" because the original "Body Scripture" was not just about cultivation technique mysteries!
After retrieving the mysteries of the "Body Scripture," Li Qiye rested for a while. By the time day broke, Nan Huairen had already arrived at the solitary peak to see Li Qiye.
"Senior Brother, I'm afraid I can't accompany you to the Weapon Repository today. The Elder has sent me out on an errand. I need to report the matter of the arranged marriage to the Sect Master." Upon seeing Li Qiye, Nan Huairen said.
Nan Huairen was a Hall Master and was highly valued by the Elder, so he often bore the responsibility of conveying important messages.
"Go ahead. I'm not in a hurry to pick a Treasure Artifact either." Li Qiye nodded gently. He could also take this opportunity to sort out his cultivation techniques.
After Nan Huairen left, Li Qiye didn't sleep any longer. He took out the "Kun Peng Minor Six Forms" secret manual. The "Kun Peng Minor Six Forms" held a high status in the hearts of the third-generation disciples of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect. It was a lesser technique of an Imperial Technique, but its power was incredibly terrifying.
Throughout the ages, Immortal Emperors had created astonishing cultivation techniques and Imperial Techniques, including life-extending and blood-nourishing longevity techniques, life-controlling and enemy-striking life techniques, body-refining and marrow-cleansing body techniques! As well as Heavenly Mandate Secret Arts, which only Immortal Emperors who bore the Heavenly Mandate could create.
Immortal Emperor Mingren had created countless cultivation techniques in his lifetime. Li Qiye was extremely familiar with Immortal Emperor Mingren's cultivation techniques, whether they were longevity techniques, life techniques, or body techniques.
Immortal Emperor Mingren was an Immortal Emperor he had personally nurtured. Li Qiye had participated in the creation of most of the cultivation techniques Immortal Emperor Mingren had created in his lifetime, even the Heavenly Mandate Secret Arts he had created.
Although Li Qiye had his memories of all cultivation techniques erased by the Black Dragon King during his last slumber, he could still retrieve them.
The "Kun Peng Minor Six Forms" corresponded to the core Imperial Technique, "Kun Peng Six Transformations," which was one of the strongest life techniques created by Immortal Emperor Mingren in his lifetime.
Li Qiye didn't know if the Washing Yan Ancient Sect's "Kun Peng Six Transformations" still existed. He couldn't access the core Imperial Techniques of the Washing Yan Ancient Sect yet, but he could retrieve the memories of "Kun Peng Six Transformations" through the "Kun Peng Minor Six Forms"!
Li Qiye slowly read and comprehended the "Kun Peng Minor Six Forms." In fact, the "Kun Peng Minor Six Forms" only had six movements and couldn't even be considered a life technique for protecting life or attacking enemies. However, Li Qiye knew better than anyone that Immortal Emperor Mingren's "Kun Peng Six Transformations" was created based on these six movements.
Back then, when Immortal Emperor Mingren was young, Li Qiye, who had transformed into a Shadow Crow, had taken Immortal Emperor Mingren to observe a Kun Peng from afar. In the end, Immortal Emperor Mingren summarized the six movements of the Kun Peng and created the "Kun Peng Six Transformations," which later became a renowned Immortal Emperor life technique!
As Li Qiye comprehended, the six movements of the "Kun Peng Minor Six Forms" slowly evolved in Li Qiye's mind. At times, the great roc soared through the nine heavens, its wings beating for three thousand miles; at times, the great roc plunged into the nine netherworlds, pecking through the earth; at times, the great roc entered the great abyss, transforming into a giant Kun, its tail stirring up waves...
At times it was a Peng, at times it was a Kun. The evolution became faster and faster. As it continued to evolve, it gradually became impossible to distinguish between Peng and Kun. Finally, a fish became a bird, leaping into the nine heavens, treading the Great Dao. The transformation between Kun and Peng was like the change between sun and sun, naturally formed, resonating with the Dao rhythm of heaven and earth.
With a loud "Dong—" sound, the Kun Peng slapped the waves. In that instant, Li Qiye's entire body trembled violently. The Kun Peng, slapping up colossal waves, vanished, and the surging waves also dissipated. Slowly, everything transformed into Dao rhythm, Dao rhythm evolved into mysteries, circulated the Great Dao, and finally, the memory runes that had been erased one by one reappeared in Li Qiye's mind.
These memory runes, at times Peng, at times Kun, transformed with endless mysteries. Finally, there was no distinction between Kun and Peng, and it transformed into a complete Kun Peng. A complete and flawless "Kun Peng Six Transformations" was finally imprinted in Li Qiye's mind.
Li Qiye couldn't help but rejoice. His efforts had paid off; he had finally recovered the memory of "Kun Peng Six Transformations."
After an unknown amount of time, Li Qiye emerged from the profound mysteries of "Kun Peng Six Transformations." Unknowingly, he had been immersed in this supreme life technique for a full day.
Having comprehended the mysteries of "Kun Peng Six Transformations," Li Qiye did not slack off or become complacent. He understood his own situation better than anyone else. Whether it was his physique, his Life Wheel, or his Fate Palace, he couldn't compare to those geniuses. Therefore, he had to work a hundred times harder in his cultivation. On the path of cultivation, he had to persevere relentlessly. Only then could he bear the Heavenly Mandate and sweep across the nine heavens and ten earths.
As a former mentor who had personally nurtured an Immortal Emperor and guided countless powerful figures, he understood the great principles of cultivation better than anyone! Although his physique, Life Wheel, and Fate Palace were not good, he possessed a complete set of cultivation concepts, which was his advantage.
Li Qiye flipped open the "Moon Vortex Sun **" and began to study it. The "Moon Vortex Sun **" was a longevity technique that primarily cultivated the Life Wheel, extending life and nourishing blood.
Every cultivator, even a mortal, had a Life Wheel! As long as a being had intelligence, it possessed three things: first, physique; second, Life Wheel; and third, Fate Palace.
Physique, needless to say, was the vessel of life. Without a physique, there was no life. Even the most ordinary mortal possessed a Mortal Physique! The flesh and blood body was the best vessel for life!
Life Wheel. There is a saying: trees have growth rings, and people have Life Wheels. The Life Wheel is contained within the body, but it is not substantial. It is a series of light rings. Only cultivators can see their Life Wheel. After cultivating a longevity technique, the Life Wheel will appear behind one's head. The rings of light signify the strength of one's blood qi and lifespan.
For a mortal, from birth, if there are no calamities, their lifespan is determined by their Life Wheel. For example, a mortal-grade Life Wheel like Li Qiye's, if he didn't cultivate the Dao and lived like a mortal, and did not die from accidents or calamities, he could live to sixty years old.
Life Wheels, physiques, and Fate Palaces all have levels. The levels range from low to high: Mortal, Acquired, Innate, Emperor, Saint, Immortal!
Although the levels of Life Wheels, physiques, and Fate Palaces are the same, there is one difference. In principle, the levels of Life Wheels and Fate Palaces cannot be changed; they are innate. Only physiques can be changed through cultivation! For example, an Innate Physique can be cultivated with an Emperor-grade body technique to upgrade its physique to an Emperor Physique!
