Chapter 65 Return to Emptiness Spell
Without any unnecessary movements, Zhang Chulan and Zhang Lingyu charged forward simultaneously, one throwing a punch and the other raising a palm, the two golden lights colliding...
boom!
Golden light splashed everywhere, and the two men stood their ground, neither giving an inch, indicating that the intensity of their golden light was equal and their lives were of similar value.
"Truly impressive!"
At this moment, Zhang Chulan had activated his Qi Pill, but he was unable to gain the upper hand. It seems that after his breakthrough, his opponent's cultivation level had also improved considerably, enough to be comparable to his own under the blessing of the Qi Pill.
However, the Qi Pill had a limited lifespan, and continuing to use it would be detrimental to him. Therefore, he did not hesitate to activate the Qi Infant within his body and mobilize the power of the "Qi Body Source Flow"...
Qi transforms into the Three Pure Ones!
Swish!
In an instant, Zhang Chulan's eyes turned black and white, his golden pupils focused, and golden light around him vanished for a moment before suddenly shining again, surging towards his opponent like a tide.
"Here we go again, with that same trick!"
Even at such close range, Zhang Lingyu couldn't figure out how this guy did it. Such a large-scale golden light must have a powerful life force, but after the test just now...
"That shouldn't be the case..."
cluck cluck cluck...
Faced with the surging golden light, the golden light around him instantly condensed and turned into black mud. With a sudden flick of his sleeves, the Yin Five Thunders transformed into a huge wave, meeting the golden light.
slam-la-
The brilliant gold and the pitch black clashed, neither giving way to the other. Seeing this, Zhang Chulan's lips curled up, and he suddenly clenched his hand, causing the golden light to condense into a huge pure white lightning claw, which was about to tear through the dark waves.
"That kid's really smart!"
Seeing this, Tian Jinzhong smiled and said, "He must have studied Lingyu's previous competition and knew that even if he mastered Yang Thunder, he would still habitually use Yin Thunder. So he lured Lingyu into making a move and then waited for the right moment to use stronger Yang Thunder to break his technique."
"good……"
Zhang Zhiwei nodded slightly: "He knew very well that in terms of lightning magic cultivation, he was no match for Lingyu, and his mastery of lightning magic variations was far inferior, so he chose to take a different path... He truly deserves to be Huaiyi's grandson."
As he spoke, he seemed to return to the battle more than eighty years ago when he was forced by his master to fight Huaiyi. The golden light transformations and unexpected moves he displayed left a deep impression on him.
Although his talent for cultivation was far inferior to his, his comprehension was not much different, and he also possessed unique creativity, which his grandson clearly inherited...
He smiled slightly.
"Um?!"
On the field at that moment, seeing his opponent suddenly change his moves and become difficult to defend against, Zhang Lingyu immediately slipped and dodged to the side. He raised both palms at the same time and directly split the Yin Five Thunders into Yang Thunder orbs.
boom--!
The pure white giant claw missed its target, raising dust that obscured the view. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhang Lingyu waved his sleeves, unleashing a burst of white light that caused white mist to rise from the arena...
Nanyang Yuntian!
"Mist formed from countless tiny flashes of lightning..."
As the smoke cleared, Zhang Chulan found himself enveloped in mist. Looking at the countless tiny lightning bolts before him, he narrowed his eyes: "This thing can restrain Young Master Feng, but it's useless against me."
But before he could make a move...
Zizizi!
The sound of thunder and lightning erupted overhead. He looked up abruptly and found himself surrounded by dozens of lightning balls the size of human heads. His opponent's voice followed: "You'd better not move."
"We're trapped..."
After a brief observation, Zhang Chulan realized that the power of each of these lightning balls was no less than that of a palm-sized lightning bolt. With such a terrifying number, he truly had no way to hide.
but……
He grinned, and lightning erupted from his body. The eyes of the Qi Infant within him shone with pure white light, and his figure flashed suddenly...
Swah——
He broke through the encirclement and arrived behind Zhang Lingyu!
"What?!"
Sensing the fierce lightning power behind him, Zhang Lingyu's eyes widened. He could clearly feel that the lightning ball he created was disintegrated and turned into nothingness the moment it touched the other party.
"How...did he do that?"
Before he could think any further, a massive palm lightning bolt materialized and slammed down from above his head, at a distance from which he had no chance to dodge...
"There's no other way..."
Five Thunder Talisman!
At the critical moment, Zhang Lingyu flicked his sleeve and took out the Five Thunder Talisman. He activated it with his Qi, and the talisman instantly ignited, sending a bolt of lightning into the sky.
Swah——
This was his trump card, which he had prepared specifically for this moment. The lightning power, which gathered the might of heaven and earth, directly broke through the lightning in his palm and shot into the sky, attracting rolling thunderclouds!
Rumbling--
Using the Five Thunder Talisman to quickly summon lightning was a technique Zhang Lingyu came up with after his breakthrough yesterday. This was also the key to the duel between users of thunder magic—whoever gained control of the heavenly lightning first would take the initiative.
After all, there's only so much natural lightning energy in a region. Once it's been taken over by someone else, it takes much more effort to snatch it back, and there needs to be a significant difference in cultivation levels between the two parties.
Zhang Chulan is clearly not enough!
"Oh no..."
Seeing this, Zhang Chulan scratched his head. Although his understanding of thunder magic was still lacking, with Fu Xuan's guidance, he could see that the current situation was quite bad.
Faced with the might of heaven and earth, even the Qi Source Flow was of limited use and could not withstand it at all. He couldn't help but take a deep breath...
"We'll have to use that trick."
At this moment, the surrounding thunder and fog had dissipated, and the thunderball had merged into the thundercloud. With the acceleration of the Five Thunder Talisman, the thunder power in the thundercloud quickly filled up, and the heavenly thunder could fall at any moment.
Seeing this, Zhang Chulan raised his palms, and two bolts of lightning, one black and one white, suddenly rose up. Then he clapped his palms together, merging the two bolts of lightning into one. As the black and white intertwined, an invisible energy surged out.
"This is?!"
Seeing this, Tian Jinzhong frowned: "Senior brother, what kind of move is this? I've never seen it before!"
Zhang Zhiwei's eyes narrowed as he carefully sensed the technique, then he said, "Good lad, this is a legendary move..."
"A legendary technique?"
Tian Jinzhong observed intently, then a thought struck him: "Could it be!"
"That's right, Yin and Yang combine to return to the original state, using Qi to transform into nothingness, this is the legendary 'Return to Emptiness Mantra'."
Zhang Zhiwei looked at Lu Jin: "Speaking of which, Old Lu, this has quite a connection with your Sanyi Sect. This method was created by Xuanxuanzi back then, and your Sanyi Sect's Reverse Life Method also originated from it."
Xuanxuanzi was Zhang Sanfeng, the peerless master of the martial arts world during the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties—the Taoist Wudang sect. He was the first to create Tai Chi, deeply understood the principles of Yin and Yang, and even devised a method to return to the innate state through Yin and Yang—the Return to Emptiness Mantra—based on the concept of the unity of the three religions!
The so-called "returning to emptiness" means returning to the beginning and tracing back to the source. It is the method of returning to the heavens after birth and the foundation for Xuanxuanzi to attain the Dao and reach the heavens.
However, this method is too profound to be explained in words, and can only be understood through personal experience. Therefore, it is only mentioned briefly within the Taoist community, making it difficult for later practitioners to cultivate.
Until the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty, a remarkable person named Lin Zhao'en appeared in the world. He cultivated the three paths together and comprehended the method of returning to emptiness and reversing the flow. He finally gained something and created the "Threefold Reversal of Life" and established the "Three Ones Sect".
The word "returning to emptiness" is the key to the cultivation of the Three Ones in later generations. However, the true way to reverse one's original nature remains extremely mysterious, even though the disciples of the Three Ones Sect have tried one after another...
It's also difficult for anyone to succeed.
