Chapter 657
After Yue Hongyan made a few turns, she came to the deeper regions of the Nirvana World . There was a huge stone house that covered a vast s.p.a.ce . The roof of the house was also very high .
Rather than a stone house, it was more like a huge court . The interior design of the court was rather simple . There were a few prayer mats on the floor and Yang Qing and Zhou Yuncong sat on their knees while facing each other .
Yang Qing wore a gentle smile on his face and seemed very cordial .
He stood up from the floor and greeted Yue Hongyan, "Fourth Senior, all of you must have been very busy during this period . "
Yue Hongyan laughed, "No worries, you have more important things to do . You are not skiving intentionally . In the past, you have worked tirelessly for the sect . The few of us should thank you instead . "
Yang Qing heard this and he smiled while shaking his head, "It’s not tiring for me . Doing it for the sect makes me happy . "
As he said, he lowered his head at Zhou Yuncong, "Yuncong?"
He was also decked in purple, but the style of his clothes was different from Yang Qing’s long robe . It was more similar to the tight-fitting purple costume of Liu Xiafeng and the rest . But the pattern on the cuffs of his costume was a circle, formed from a golden semi-circle and a green semi-circle . This showed that he was Yang Qing’s Immediate Disciple .
His facial features made him look charming, but he looked a little stern too . Right now, he was pondering hard about Yang Qing’s guidance . He was not aware of everything around him .
Only when Yang Qing called him did he regain his awareness and turned to look at him . After that, he noticed Yue Hongyan .
He stood up and greeted Yue Hongyan . After greeting her, he remained stoned to the ground and did not speak .
Yang Qing looked at Zhou Yuncong before shaking his head . He was Yang Qing’s only Immediate Disciple . Yang Qing and Zhu Yi stumbled upon him when they went out to train after the previous Sect-Opening Ceremony . After he was brought back to the mountain, he pa.s.sed the basic test and became a Foundational Disciple . After that, he pa.s.sed the major test and became Yang Qing’s Successive Disciple .
After interacting
with him long enough, Yang Qing began to understand his disciple’s personality and knew that he was naturally like that .
But it was already better than the first time he met him .
Yue Hongyan seemed to be used to it too . As she looked at him, she sized him up before nodding her head, "Improvement yet again . "
Yang Qing replied, "There’s not much problem in terms of cultivation . But I’m not proficient in physical martial arts, so there’s not much I can guide him in this aspect . Although I can help him nurture his flesh, I can’t train his body without powerful physical martial arts abhijnas . "
He laughed bitterly, "I only know the Fist of the Eight Trigrams and I’m not that good at it either . "
The Fist of the Eight Trigrams was like the Eight Spells of the Heavens and Earth . It was also consolidated by Xiao Yan and the bunch of them . It was also one of the foundational abhijnas of the Celestial Sect of Wonders .
The difficulty of cultivating it was not high, but its powers were not ordinary . Besides helping to strengthen one’s foundation, it could also be a useful abhijna to use in battle .
When this abhijna was first created, the main contributors were s.h.i.+ Tianhao, Xiao Yan and Yue Hongyan .
Yang Qing knew it too, and with his current cultivation, he could unleash its full power . When he said that he was not that good with it, that was because he was in front of Yue Hongyan .
He used this abhijna, which he was rather good in, to guide Zhou Yuncong . But at the very end, Yue Hongyan understood the abhijna better than him .
After Yue Hongyan heard Yang Qing’s words, she nodded her head steadily, "I shall show you once, Yuncong, observe carefully . "
After she finished saying, Yue Hongyan stepped onto the ground, causing it to shake gently . Her entire person seemed to be rooted to the ground, and she seemed to become one with the ground . She was very stable .
The starting pose of the Fist of the Eight Trigrams, Heavenly Earth Print, was not through the hands, but through the legs . As both feet touched the ground, it seemed to be the carrier of all matter in the Heavens and Earth, exuding a comforting stability .
Following that, Yue Hongyan kept her left fist beside her waist, making her seem like a mighty mountain in an instant . A mountain that seemed to never collapse
collapse . It was the Mount Gen Fist Frame of the Fist of the Eight Trigrams .
Yue Hongyan kept her left fist beside her waist and it shook gently . It was not that she could not control her powers . On the contrary, the gentle shaking of her fist contained a destructive, explosive strength . It was like lightning hidden among the clouds in the Nine Heavens, that was yet to be unleashed, but could explode anytime .
Zhou Yuncong stared hard at Yue Hongyan’s actions . He corroborated it with what he had learnt, and recognized that this was the Explosive Lightning Fist of the Fist of the Eight Trigrams .
As Yue Hongyan stood on the ground, the top of her skull shone with a radiance . Although she was inside the stone house, she seemed to be communicating with the skies . She was filled with energy and all of it was gathered at the top of her head . There seemed to be an invisible line that was guiding her up .
Although all her energy was gathered at the top of her head, Yue Hongyan’s body remained stable . She seemed to be like a pillar that connected the Heavens and the Earth .
Fist of the Eight Trigrams, Heavenly Pillar .
Just like the Heavenly Earth Print and the Mount Gen Fist Frame, the Heavenly Pillar was not just used for cultivation, it was also useful in battle .
Yue Hongyan’s left fist was kept beside her waist while her right hand turned slowly in front of her body, as if she was stretching it or trying to resist a powerful force . She was exhibiting the DuiZe Scattered Hands .
As her right arm moved, her right hand fingers opened and closed . The style of the fist kept on changing . At times, it seemed to be jumping like flames . At times, it seemed to be as gentle as flowing water, enacting the Lihuo Fist and the Kanshui Fist at the same time .
Yue Hongyan remained calm and breathed in slowly . But as she released her aura, she seemed very ferocious .
"Flas.h.i.+ng Wind . Not only does it absorb energy to cleanse one’s blood flow, it can also be used for one’s body cultivation, or be used in a fist mantra . "
"Although it is the foundational abhijna of the sect, the real skill is only witnessed through simplicity . Fourth Senior, you have really exhibited the true meaning of these words . "
She enacted the entire contents of the Fist of the Eight Trigrams in an instant . Her hands did not stop moving, as she exhibited eight different mantras of the Fist of the Eight Trigrams .
Her actions were quick, but each and every one of them was observed carefully by Zhou Yuncong . She combined a miraculous rhythm within . It seemed fast, but it was actually slow .
As she finished showing the Fist of the Eight Trigrams, Yue Hongyan managed to walk one round around the court and she returned to her original, starting position .
She started with the Heavenly Earth Print, and ended with it in the same position .
Within the court, above the ground, she left a clear trail of fist prints . They represented the images of the Eight Trigrams
The eight images combined to form a circle, as if they were carved onto void s.p.a.ce . But they were actually combined through Yue Hongyan’s powers and they almost consolidated to become real .
Yang Qing laughed, "Thanks, Fourth Senior . "
Yue Hongyan shook her head, "To me, it’s nothing much . Yuncong is intelligent, I believe that he will gain from this . "
Yang Qing turned over to look and saw that Zhou Yuncong was looking at the trail of prints that Yue Hongyan left .
"Yuncong?"
Yang Qing sighed, "Did you forget something?"
Zhou Yuncong realized and looked at Yue Hongyan, saying, "Thank you Fourth Elder Aunt . " As he said finished, he turned to the prints again .
He pondered for a while, before jumping into action . As he followed the prints, he also displayed the Fist of the Eight Trigrams .
Zhou Yuncong learnt the Fist of the Eight Trigrams from Yang Qing before . But as he looked at Yue Hongyan today, he had a brand-new understanding of it .
When he first started learning, Zhou Yuncong was quite unclear about it . But he did not stop . After he finished practicing the Fist of the Eight Trigrams, he stopped and continued thinking about it . After that, he did it for the second time, third time…every time he finished it once, he would stop and think about it again before embarking on the next try .
Yue Hongyan looked at him cultivating and relished what she saw .saw . She was one of the creators of this abhijna . She could naturally see that while Zhou Yuncong developed a deeper understanding of it, he was also trying to make it one that was his own too .
"He is learning and improvising . " Yue Hongyan turned her head and said, "Fifth Junior, your efforts all these years have not been wasted . "
Yang Qing laughed, "He is intelligent . I am only just guiding him . "
Yue Hongyan waved her hand, "I shall let you handle things in the future . I shall go over to Yun Peak . Let’s chat when we meet again . "
Yang Qing nodded his head, "Take care, Fourth Senior . "
Yue Hongyan left Mount Yujing and came to Yun Peak . She saw Zhu Yi and s.h.i.+ Xingyun talking to each other .
s.h.i.+ Xingyun scanned Yun Peak . As she saw that it was filled with buildings, spiritual energy and lights were s.h.i.+ning towards the Nine Heavens, she could not help but laugh, "This Yun Peak and Mirror Lake make a decent fortune land . "
After many years of development, while Yun Peak was only the residence of Foundational Disciples, it had become a successful place .
At the center of the top of the peak, there was a pavilion that was structured in the same way as the Grand Heavens Pavilion . It was only a grade smaller in size than the Grand Heavens Pavilion, but looked very majestic too .
On a normal day, Xiao Yan, Zhu Yi and the rest would take turns to descend the mountain at different timings to give their own talks in the pavilion . They taught the Foundational Disciples how to cultivate and gave them tips on their cultivations .
Behind the pavilion were several buildings . Those buildings were inns for guests of the Celestial Sect of Wonders to stay in . s.h.i.+ Xingyun and the rest were settled down in different inns .
s.h.i.+ Xingyun scanned the constructions on Yun Peak . As she was looking, her gaze flashed suddenly, "Oh? He is here too . "
Zhu Yi and Yue Hongyan followed her gaze and looked over . They saw a young man in white standing far away . He was also observing the buildings on Yun Peak .
The young man came from the Great Void Sect .
