Chapter 15 The Metal Duke still needs the Wood Mother to overcome it, the innate Jia Wood Divine Thu
After Chen Chunan had roughly figured things out, he began to try it out.
For Chen Chunan, activating the spiritual power of the five elements and mobilizing the Qi of the liver (wood), lungs (metal), and kidneys (yin) was already second nature.
However, the moment before the earthquake struck, Chen Chunan hesitated slightly.
In the Pre-Heaven Bagua, the Zhen position is located in the lower left, while in the Post-Heaven Bagua, it is located on the due left, which is the Li position in the Pre-Heaven Bagua.
"My cultivation of the Elixir of Rejuvenation is also a process of transforming the Great Elixir. Its essence is still the transformation of the acquired into the innate, and it's best to converge it at the Zhen position of the innate!"
Having made up his mind, Chen Chunan used the pure Yang Qi of the Golden Elixir as a guide to gather the other three Qi into the innate Zhen trigram, instantly causing a turbulent and turbulent upheaval.
Chen Chunan hadn't expected such a strong reaction and knew he couldn't let the energy linger in his body for long.
While the control of the Five Elements spiritual power was still stable, Chen Chunan guided this ball of Qi to flow directly out of his body along the Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian in his hand.
The burst of energy that Chen Chunan released from his body was as swift as lightning, absorbing a large amount of wood-attribute and lightning-attribute spiritual energy as soon as it appeared.
After a thunderclap in the clear sky, a bright, bluish-green bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, carving a large crater several meters in diameter and several meters deep into a small mound not far from the valley.
Chen Chunan, who had secretly gone out to cultivate, was both surprised and delighted.
To his surprise, the power of the thunder seemed to be somewhat excessive, and he had to run away immediately.
To my delight, it seems I guessed right and actually mastered the Thunder Technique!
"You really mastered it? Let's try again. Just in case it's a fluke, since no one can get here anytime soon."
Chen Chunan thought for a moment and cast the spell again, this time mobilizing even more Qi, a full half of Chen Chunan's reserves.
The moment the lightning bolt appeared, Chen Chunan knew something was wrong.
too big!
"I'm outta here!"
Chen Chunan didn't even need to look back at the explosion to know that the power of this lightning bolt was several times greater than the previous one.
...
Just after Chen Chunan ran away without looking back.
Chen Daoping, accompanied by the clan elder Chen Heming, rushed directly to the place where Chen Chunan had unleashed his lightning magic.
"Hiss~ Such a rich aura of lightning magic, and also wood elemental energy! It must be the power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator!"
"Who did this? None of the Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Liu family cultivate lightning techniques, and the Bai family doesn't even have a Foundation Establishment cultivator. None of those old fogies have any lightning spiritual roots!"
"Could it be the Li family? Didn't the Li family produce a disciple with three spiritual roots, including a lightning spiritual root?"
"The clan chief is talking about Li Xiuping? Impossible!"
When I saw him last year, he was only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, still three minor realms away from the perfection of Qi Refining!
"It couldn't be him, and the Li family wouldn't dare to trespass on our Chen clan's territory and cause trouble. This is war!"
"Could it be that the Liu family has a Foundation Establishment True Person with a Thunder Spirit Root that we don't know about?"
The elder shook his head, indicating he didn't know.
The two suppressed their worries and returned to their families with heavy hearts.
Meanwhile, Chen Chunan, the instigator, was overjoyed.
"I had an unexpected surprise when I activated the lightning technique. Now I can feel the lightning-attribute spiritual energy. However, this spiritual energy is too violent. Without a lightning-attribute cultivation technique, I dare not casually draw the lightning spiritual energy into my body."
"And this thunder technique... I fear it creates too much of an imbalance between Yin and Yang. In reality, it mobilizes the Qi of Jia Wood, which originates from the innate Zhen position. Calling this thunder technique 'Jade Pivot Divine Thunder' seems somewhat inappropriate; perhaps it could be called 'Innate Jia Wood Divine Thunder'?"
Then Chen Chunan recalled the matter of subduing the Mind Monkey. Thunder magic is divided into internal and external. If he can unleash it externally, then he can also unleash it internally.
It's time to settle accounts with that damned stable boy!
During this time, that damned monkey has stolen a lot of the spiritual power and pure yang energy that I have cultivated.
You can't let it vomit it out properly!
Having made up his mind, Chen Chunan hurriedly told his sister Hongxian what he had done and then went into seclusion.
Chen Chunan sat cross-legged on the bed with his palms facing upwards.
My mind and spirit are immersed in the mud palace.
After this period of cultivation, Chen Chunan's Yin Spirit has become more and more solid, but he has never triggered the so-called Yin Spirit Traveling Realm.
Chen Chunan merged with the Yin spirit, and from the Ren meridian down to the middle dantian, he could see the Heart Monkey sleeping on the Five Elements Mountain from afar.
This earthen cauldron in the central palace is the territory of the Mind Monkey, and its presence has already alerted it.
Two eyes the size of copper bells immediately swept over: "Oh, who is it? It's you, you filthy scoundrel, coming to bother me, the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, again?"
When Chen Chunan heard the monkey call himself the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses, he couldn't help but chuckle, even though it wasn't the first time he'd heard it.
Previously, this monkey had no name; Chen Chunan had only cursed it as "弼马温" (Bima Wen, a lowly official in charge of horses). For the next three months, Chen Chunan always referred to it as "弼马温" whenever they clashed.
This restless monkey thought it was some kind of auspicious term, so he simply called himself the Keeper of the Heavenly Horses.
However, this put Chen Chunan at ease. If this Mind Monkey had called himself "Old Sun," Chen Chunan would have been really worried.
Seeing that this monkey still acted all arrogant and cocky, Chen Chunan directly scolded him:
"You lowly stable boy dare to steal my supernatural powers? Today I'll subdue you! Take this lightning bolt!"
The Yin spirit mobilizes the three Qi of the Dharma body—lung (metal), liver (wood), and kidney (water)—and guides them with the pure Yang Qi of the Golden Elixir.
The thunderous force it generated was far less than that of Chen Chunan's spellcasting in the real world, but its power should not be underestimated.
As soon as the thunder appeared, the monkey's expression changed drastically.
His body instantly swelled into a giant ape over nine zhang tall, and he swung the Ruyi Jingu Bang, which was as thick as a stone pillar, toward the fontanelle of Chen Chunan's Yin Spirit Dharma Body.
Chen Chunan's expression remained unchanged as he continued to unleash his fury.
"You, the stable boy, are essentially the Yin Metal Qi of the Heart and Lungs, also known as the Metal Lord. Metal attracts thunder. You dare to grow bigger? Let's see where you run!"
Chen Chunan unleashed a thunderbolt, which chased after the Heart Monkey.
Although the Ruyi Jingu Bang could disperse a few lightning spells, it couldn't withstand Chen Chunan's relentless casting of spells, which was like a Gatling gun.
Soon, the restless monkey was beaten and screamed in agony.
The five elements spiritual power stolen from the Heart Monkey began to dissipate, and then gathered in the lower dantian on its own.
Soon, the mind monkey, which was as big as a mountain, was beaten down to smaller and smaller, and in no time it turned into a little monkey.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Chen Chunan no longer hesitated and directly mobilized the Five Elements Mountain in his middle dantian to suppress the monkey once again.
Fearing that the Five Elements Mountain wouldn't be heavy enough, Chen Chunan directly emptied his lower dantian, causing the Five Elements Mountain to expand several times over and firmly suppress the Heart Monkey beneath him.
Chen Chunan laughed uncontrollably: "So, even you, the stable boy, have met your end? Let's see if you dare steal my supernatural powers again!"
The monkey-like creature continued to curse: "You filthy scoundrel, you are ungrateful! If I hadn't helped you, you would have been dead long ago! You repay kindness with enmity!"
Chen Chunan remained unmoved: "In the end, you are still a part of my Dao heart. You saving me is also saving yourself. If I die, you will not exist in this world either. There is no such thing as gratitude or righteousness between us."
The Monkey King retorted, "How can you be certain that we are originally one? If I am your Dao Heart, why can't you understand my true nature?"
Chen Chunan sneered, "You don't need to resort to empty words. No matter your true nature, you are ultimately a part of me. Even if you were just a stable boy, or even if you became the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, you would still be a part of me!"
After saying that, Chen Chunan, without turning his head, manipulated the Yin God back to the Niwan Palace.
However, Chen Chunan did not notice that Xin Yuan was completely stunned when he heard the name Sun Wukong.
"Phew~"
Chen Chunan slowly opened his eyes.
"Even if the Pure Yang Immortal were alive, he probably wouldn't believe that I subdued the Mind Monkey in this way. It's outrageous! What kind of Mind Monkey can truly take form and manifest with its own thoughts? However, it's not a solution to just keep the Five Elements Mountain pressing down on it like this. We need to find a way to completely subdue it."
Master Changchun believed that to subdue the restless mind, one needed to travel and experience more; the more experiences one had, the stronger one's mind would become, and the more stable one's Daoist heart would be.
Therefore, Sun Wukong's other name is Sun Xingzhe, and the word he ultimately seeks to understand is "emptiness".
However, Chen Chunan had no clue how to understand the meaning of "emptiness." If it were simply as described in the "Awakening to Truth" chapter: "Only greedy for profit and glory, one will not realize that one's appearance will become dull and withered."
That's simple. Once you're certain you can cultivate immortality, fame and fortune hold absolutely no appeal for you.
But looking at the restless mind pressing down on his middle dantian, Chen Chunan knew it wasn't that simple.
