Wang Hao's charade... no, to be precise, his honest words thoroughly fooled the white-haired old Daoist and the others. Even the Daoist Qingsong, though still showing disbelief, became much more serious and did not interrupt Wang Hao's explanation again.
After he finished speaking, the white-haired old Daoist and the others pondered carefully, secretly deducing the truth or falsehood of the three dantian systems that Wang Hao had mentioned.
These three new systems are very different from what they know. Except for the Lower Dantian, which remains unchanged, the Middle Dantian and Upper Dantian are very different. The two acupoints they originally thought to be Tanzhong and Yintang are actually just the bridge and gateway between the Middle Dantian and Upper Dantian.
Although it's unbelievable, it's hard for them to find a reason to refute it.
Leaving aside the ethereal concept of the Upper Dantian Spirit Sea consciousness, the idea of Middle Dantian and the heart seems quite reasonable.
Blood is the place where the essence of the human body flows, and the heart is the hub and core of blood circulation. Using this as the foundation for Refining Essence into Qi into qi is indeed much more sophisticated and reasonable than their previous ideas.
Although Taoist School have the concept of Refining Essence into Qi, it is very vague. The extraction of essence requires slowly refining it from the entire body, thread by thread, through the meridians and acupoints.
Not only is it difficult, but it can also easily damage the foundation of the body, and can easily lead to deficiency of both qi and blood.
Compared to their completely new concept, theirs is indeed far weaker.
Most importantly, the essence, qi, and spirit stored in the three dantian of a person have their own circulation systems. Essence and blood circulate throughout the body through blood vessels, qi is based on meridians and acupoints, and spirit is based on the brain, spinal cord, and nerve networks that are distributed throughout the body. The three are connected by meridians, which can perfectly realize the Dali of Refining Essence into Qi and Refining Qi into Spirit.
"Oh! I was wrong, I was definitely wrong!"
After much deduction, the white-haired old Daoist suddenly looked up to the sky and sighed, then said with a helpless bitter smile, "We were all on the wrong path. No wonder we never even touched the barrier of the Celestial Person Realm before we died."
Although the lack of so-called essence and blood prevented him from verifying the authenticity of the heart as the dantian, he had a vague feeling about the Upper Dantian and the Spirit Sea.
Decades ago, after reaching the Peak Xiantian Grandmaster, he began exploring the path ahead, with himself being of paramount importance.
Combining the notes of Taoist School predecessors, he had a vague feeling, but he was never sure.
Only after obtaining this theory today, and then using the Yintang acupoint as a foundation to sense within the brain marrow, did I vaguely sense a mysterious existence.
He had a feeling that as long as he could unlock that mysterious place, he would definitely gain tremendous benefits, and perhaps even advance his cultivation level.
Unfortunately, this seemingly small step is now worlds apart. He can barely sense it, let alone activate it, because his accumulated knowledge is far too lacking.
Since the problem stems from insufficient personal accumulation, it must lie in one's own Body Refinement. But even if one understands this now, it's too late.
His lifespan is nearing its end, and there's no time left for him to rebuild his foundation.
For a pure seeker of truth, nothing could be more cruel.
At this moment, even Daoist Qingsong, who had always harbored hostility towards Wang Hao, fell silent, his expression extremely heavy.
Just then, a group of people walked in from outside the main hall. The one in the lead was none other than Wheel-Turning King, and beside him was Zhu Wudao, who was panting heavily.
Zhu Wudao was in bad shape at the moment. His legs were trembling and his face was extremely pale. He was obviously exhausted from the journey. However, he still bowed to Wang Hao first.
"Master!"
"Excellent, very good. From this day forward, you are my disciple."
Wang Hao carefully examined Zhu Wudao, who was staggering slightly, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
It has only been an Tokiomi and a half since they parted ways. If this person really spent an Tokiomi practicing the Flying Immortal Steps, then it means that he only took half Tokiomi to arrive at the Mount Tai Sect.
It is important to know that the first level of the Flying Immortal Steps is a purely external movement technique. Although this technique has the fastest straight-line speed, it also consumes the most energy, especially for those who have not integrated Awakening the Bloodline Power.
But this kid not only halved the time, he also broke through a barrier along the way, and is now a Early First-Rate external martial arts practitioner.
Congratulations, Lord Ye, on the arrival of your wonderful disciple!
Upon hearing Wang Hao's words, the Wheel-Turning King and his companions, who had been silent all along, were overjoyed and hurriedly congratulated Wang Hao.
They had high hopes for Zhu Wudao's acceptance into Ye Gucheng's tutelage. Although their nephew had made arrangements beforehand, they were still uncertain. Now that Ye Gucheng, the White Cloud City, had finally acknowledged this disciple, they were overjoyed.
You must know that this White Cloud City was chosen by the Great Heavenly Demon and is a peerless genius who has a very high chance of becoming Shattering Realm expert!
Not only would obtaining its inheritance offer a glimpse into the Shattering Realm, but simply having such a powerful backer who could potentially advance one's own level to the Shattering Realm would be a huge gain.
It's important to understand that the future belongs to those at the Shattering Realm Shattering Realm; the key is how much support you can get from them.
Of course, it would be even better if the Old Zhu Household could cultivate a Shattering Realm expert on their own.
"What's there to congratulate me on? If it weren't for owing Zhu Yanzu two favors, and the fact that this kid is quite promising, do you think I would have accepted a member of your Da Ming Dynasty's royal family?"
He glared at the Wheel-Turning King and his group with annoyance. Although this was all an act, since he was doing it, he had to play his part completely. He naturally had to show an attitude different from Zhu Yanzu's disguised persona.
"Hey-hey..."
With a chuckle, Wheel-Turning King and his companions remained silent, adopting a very humble attitude.
You should know that the person in front of you is on the same level as your own cheap imperial grand-nephew. Your own imperial grand-nephew had previously slaughtered several Innate experts, including two in the Middle Innate.
He even defeated eight Confucian School masters at the Early Innate in a direct confrontation. These masters were only at the Early Innate Realm; if they had truly faced him, they would probably have been instantly killed by his sword.
Since this White Cloud City, Ye Gucheng, can be Tribulation Lords of the Ten Directions just like his own cheap imperial grand-nephew, he must be quite capable.
Previously, when facing Zhu Yanzu, he could still communicate with him as an elder, but now that he was facing this person who was a stranger to him and whose strength was inferior, he naturally had to lower his posture.
"You've come at the perfect time. I'm about to make a copy of the Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram, the supreme inheritance of my White Cloud City. How much you can memorize will depend on your own Creation."
Wang Hao said something and then stopped talking. He closed his eyes to rest and waited for the Daoist priest who had left earlier to bring back the jade ink.
Although Wheel-Turning King didn't know what the Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram referred to, since it bore the name of the highest inheritance of White Cloud City, it was definitely not simple. Therefore, he didn't ask any more questions and waited quietly.
Zhu Wudao quietly held his twin swords and stood behind Wang Hao, adopting the posture of a disciple.
Although his heart had long since died and was now filled only with hatred, he also knew that this was a great opportunity to gain immense power, and he would cherish it immensely.
Furthermore, Wheel-Turning King and the others had repeatedly instructed him before he came, so he naturally knew what to do.
Wang Hao remained silent, as did the white-haired old Daoist and the others, pondering once again the theory of the three dantian that Wang Hao had mentioned earlier.
The profound knowledge of Taoist School is indeed beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Not long after that Daoist left, he acquired a jade disc that was ten feet in size, and it was made of top-quality Hetian jade.
Hetian jade is precious, known as the "gentleman among jades," with even a small piece worth a thousand taels of silver, let alone this jade disc, which is ten feet square and nine inches thick.
Accompanying the Daoist priest was an old Daoist with gray hair and a cultivation level of Late-stage Innate Realm. As soon as he stepped into the main hall, he glared at the white-haired old Daoist sitting in the main seat and cursed, " Wujizi, what do you mean by this? You actually sent someone to touch my Cangmang Jade Disc, and you even gave a death order! Don't think that just because my cultivation is inferior to yours, I'm afraid of you!"
The white-haired Daoist priest Wujizi blinked in confusion, but after seeing the awkward smile on the face of the Daoist who had brought the jade disc, he understood what was going on.
A jade disc the size of ten feet is indeed hard to find. The first thing he thought of was his old friend's Cangmang Jade Disc, which was also ten feet in size and made of top-quality Hetian jade.
Most importantly, this old friend lives in Mount Tai, so he can move over in the shortest possible time.
However, this Cangmang Jade Disc has always been the apple of this old friend's eye, and he would risk his life to use it.
The white-haired old Daoist, Wujizi, glared fiercely at the Daoist who had brought the jade disc, then turned around with a smile and stood up to invite his old friend to sit down. He laughed and said, " Cangmang, don't you know me? If it weren't for a truly urgent matter, why would I have touched your Cangmang Jade Disc? Just watch, this is a tremendous opportunity for both of us."
Ignoring Wujizi, who was there comforting the Daoist Cangmang, Wang Hao turned his gaze to the Cangmang Jade Disc the moment it was moved over.
Such a large piece of Hetian jade is priceless in itself, and the addition of a Heaven and Earth Cangmang Diagram carved on it further increases its value infinitely.
If placed in modern times, it would be a top-tier National Treasure.
"What a pity!"
Reaching out, Wang Hao gently stroked the Cangmang Jade Disc, then sighed regretfully, fearing that this National Treasure would soon be destroyed.
"What's a pity?"
Upon hearing this, the Daoist Cangmang, who had just been calmed down by Wujizi, jumped up from his chair and shot a cold gaze that even contained a Sisi of killing intent.
The Cangmang Jade Disc Cangmang Jade Disc his most precious treasure, the culmination of half a lifetime's work. To unearth it, he had spent thirty years digging through an entire mountain.
Then he spent fifty years meticulously carving the Heaven and Earth Cangmang Diagram onto it by hand. Anyone who dared to touch his Cangmang Jade Disc would be met with his life.
If it weren't for the reputation of his old friend Wujizi, he would have already kicked that junior who came to borrow the jade disc out.
Hearing these words now, how could he not be furious?
Wang Hao ignored all of this, reached out and sucked hard into the box of ink that the Daoist had brought with him. His Innate Qi and Divine Sense surged out of his body, enveloping and fusing with the ink. Then, he used the method of Divine Sense Object Control to draw on the Cangmang Jade Disc.
"Wow, what an exquisite method of using Divine Sense!"
The Daoist Cangmang was originally full of anger, was stunned by Wang Hao's Divine Sense Object Control. Even Wujizi was full of admiration for this technique.
This is an extremely subtle method of using Divine Sense. Although the principle is very simple, it is very ingenious. Even with their experience, they were amazed.
However, the next moment their eyes were all drawn to the picture Wang Hao was drawing. The picture seemed simple, but it seemed to contain infinite mystery, making them unconsciously fascinated by it.
What Wang Hao drew was the Pangu Heaven-Opening Diagram. Although he could only make the simplest imitation and could not add any Divine Charm, it was still the Great God Pangu, the strongest being in the Primordial Great World.
Even a simple act of copying contains infinite mysteries, and the effort required to copy such a portrait is astonishing.
Before long, Wang Hao's face turned ashen, and his clothes were soaked with sweat.
At this moment, not only was his Innate Qi greatly depleted, but his Divine Sense power was also significantly reduced. He had only managed to copy less than half of the work, which had caused him to lose most of his Divine Sense and Innate Qi. If he hadn't made considerable progress in these two areas before, he would probably have already collapsed.
