6. Sixteen years

After Xia Xuan bathed, he changed into a loose robe and sat in a house full of ancient style.

He took out two booklets from the bookshelf, "Mo Dao Nine Styles" and "Listening to Jing Xin Zhai".

The former is a killing method for exercising blood strength, and the latter is a mental method for mobilizing blood strength, although each has other functions, but the foundation refers to these two.

Wow~~

He flipped through the booklet.

There is a lot of text on the booklet.

This was written by the second sister in the time she squeezed out to investigate the case, and it condensed a lot of her hard work and secret methods, in order to lay a good foundation for herself.

A good basic practice is not necessarily more rare than a divine skill.

He flipped through a few more pages of Listening to the Meditation and Meditation, trying to follow the method of the mind and mobilize the breath to form a flow in order to enter the state described in it.

But...

Unable to succeed.

Or rather, anyone can succeed, but he simply can't succeed.

He put down the booklet...

For a moment, my thoughts drifted a little farther away.

...

At the age of six, he awakened the "golden finger" of "traverser welfare".

This "golden finger" is a "game cheating talent" that he independently wrote before crossing - "Divine Enlightenment".

There is only one function of divine enlightenment: to fuse ten low-level exercises, obtain a random high-level exercise, and practice this random exercise directly to the consummation state.

However, the exercises that can be fused need to be familiar with oneself, but these exercises cannot be directly completed through "divine enlightenment", and can only be obtained immediately after the advanced exercises.

...

It would have been fine.

But with Xia Xuan's cultivation, he found that this world was very special.

In this world, the five words "good and evil are not mutually exclusive" is not so much that "the righteous path and the evil path are incompatible", but rather that "it is impossible to practice the righteous path and the evil path at the same time."

Because the luck methods of good and evil are completely opposite.

All decent exercises pay attention to accumulation, and then the hundred veins return to the sea, and the breath runs from the Ren pulse to the Du pulse;

And the evil sect's mental law is to pay attention to speed, first accumulate strength in the pulse of supervision, and then run to the pulse of Ren, and then divert the hundred pulses.

Since the direction of luck is completely reversed, it is impossible to practice at the same time.

If you have cultivated the righteous path exercises, and you still have to forcibly cultivate the evil path exercises, there will be only one end.

That is, the true qi and blood hedge, the skill is lost, the fire goes crazy, and the body explodes and dies.

Vice versa.

This is the absolute iron law of this world, the ultimate opposite, irreconcilable.

...

Therefore, the consummation exercises that he has attained through "divine enlightenment" are divided into "good" and "evil", and it is impossible for them to exist at the same time.

If the strongest exercise in his body is the "Evil Dao Exercise", then all of his "Righteous Path Exercises" cannot be used.

Vice versa.

...

But there is also a situation where the "righteous path exercises" and the "evil path exercises" are of the same grade and are equally powerful.

In this case, if at the strongest level, there are more "Evil Path Exercises" than "Righteous Path Exercises", then unless the number of "Righteous Path Exercises" he has practiced exceeds the "Evil Path Exercises", then he cannot use them.

Vice versa.

...

Six-year-old Xia Xuan naturally started the boring "journey of exercise integration" with great caution.

The exercises in this world are extremely precious, and ordinary people don't want to collect even the exercises of the word "art", but as the little grandfather of the Xia State Mansion, it is still okay for him to read some books, not to mention that the Xia family has a tradition of storing books, and the Linlang Water Pavilion is a library that is no less than any major sect.

He read the book for two years and worked hard to integrate a "trick" level exercise - [Wind Thunder Treasure Decision].

In this world, martial arts are divided into four products - "Martial Arts Decisive Classics", and "Tips" have been classified as three products.

And the [Wind and Thunder Treasure Technique] is a righteous path exercise, which integrates the "speed body method" and "endless true qi".

With this exercise, Xia Ji began the "fusion journey" of "territory expansion", in order to improve efficiency, he was no longer satisfied with the fusion of the exercises at the most "technique" level, but directly began to search for advanced exercises.

So, under the pretext of traveling in the mountains and rivers, he started his journey carefully and proportionately.

Then, he obtained a full nine exercises of the same level as the [Wind and Thunder Treasure Formula], including eight decent exercises and two evil path exercises.

Thereupon...

Xia Xuan was full of anticipation to integrate the "Ten Exercises" into a higher level.

Then, he obtained the four-grade "classic" level of the decent exercise [Dou Zhuan Xing Shift].

This is a practice of "returning the other person's way to the other", and you can also secretly learn the other party's kung fu.

It feels good, as long as you go out of the mountain, you will be a hero full of positive energy.

...

After Xia Xuan mastered this four-grade exercise, he began the "journey of exercise integration" with a larger territory.

More than a year later, he had already collected the second fusion of the four grades of the "classic" level.

But this time, he obtained the four-grade "classic" level Demon Gate Exercise [Blood Qi Tianluo]... This exercise is a bit evil and dark.

Expanding into the surrounding space with bloody aura, it can spread layers of qi around the enemy, contain the movements of the opponent, and even strangle the enemy with qi in the air, silently.

In short, this is a magic skill that once you use it, others will jump out and shout, "Evil demons are outside, everyone will be punished".

This time, it's a blank fit.

Because there is one of the four levels of good and evil, so I started to fight the three-grade exercises, but fortunately, there are more righteous exercises of the three grades.

Xia Xuan still feels good, although he has wasted more than a year, he is still a white-clothed hero who is full of positive energy, can return the favor in his own way, and can also steal other people's martial arts.

Keep up the good work!

...

After that, as soon as Xia Ji had time, he secretly went out, ran around all over Shu Kingdom, collected exercises, and met some people in the middle, and some stories happened.

A year and a half later, it was time for the integration of the four "classics" level exercises.

Xia Xuan washed his hands and began to merge.

But as a result...

He washed his hands with soap for three hours.

Because, his third and fourth-grade "classic" level exercises are actually still from the Demon Gate...[Sunflower Treasure Book], this Demon Book may be more powerful than the first two...

Xia Xuan deeply understood what would happen if this exercise was used.

But he's naturally optimistic, and it's okay to keep up the good work.

It's just that when he went out of the rivers and lakes again, he put on a copper mask and walked the rivers and lakes as a young man of the Demon Gate.

Because his Demon Gate skills are very high, during this journey, he met a lot of "like-minded" Demon Gate bosses, and those Demon Gate bosses obviously regarded him as an unborn senior, and the two sides communicated with each other, and Xia Xuan also obtained a lot of exercise reserves as he wished.

At the same time, because of his rich stock of exercises, he easily selected many "juniors" of the Demon Gate, and won the name of the Holy Master.

After that, he went almost everywhere he could go without "hiding his identity".

And then...

He began the fourth supreme fusion.

...

This time the fusion was very lucky.

"Crit" up.

Xia Xuan unexpectedly obtained a 1 in 10,000 chance of obtaining an exercise that surpassed the first three courses, and achieved the legendary five-grade "Sutra" level exercise - [Extreme Dao Sutra].

This is a terrifying horizontal practice and has been lost for a long time.

Xia Ji was already numb.

And at the moment when the demonic skills of this "scripture" layer were completed, Xia Ji suddenly understood many things.

What he has been ignoring, or not understanding until he has reached a certain level, is the state of mind.

In ancient and modern times, all those who have achieved great achievements have a strong state of mind, which is not the supreme strength that is difficult for people in the world to understand.

Those who do the right way are righteous and righteous.

Those who practice the way of demons are full of evil spirits.

Perhaps the "Martial Arts" and the like will not be so strongly affected by the state of mind; but starting from the "Classics", the importance of the state of mind cannot be avoided; and then to the "Sutra", this point is almost necessary and the most important; as for the ethereal "Dao" layer in mythology, it should be even more deadly.

In short, he began to find that the use of demonic skills would affect his mental nature, and the longer he used it, the stronger the techniques he used, the easier it was to bring about permanent changes in his mental nature, and make him completely become another person without realizing it.

Xia Ji was a little entangled because of this...

Because he knows that good and evil are not mutually exclusive, and the Xia Guogong Mansion is a righteous person, whether it is his parents, the eldest brother, or the second sister, they are all people who do not tolerate demons.

However, in his life, what he cherishes most is family and friendship.

He was unwilling to give up on this, and he was afraid that if he really became that demon, he would ruin it all.

So...

He put it down.

It took him six years, and all the resources he could find in a Shu country were just exercises that could gather the "four copies" of the dictionary level.

And if he wants to reverse back to the Righteous Path Method, he needs to gather the "Fusion Exercises" required for the "twenty" literary-level exercises, and at the same time, in the two fusions, they are all fused with the "Sutra" level Righteous Path Methods, so that he can reverse this kind of creation and deceive people.

But, is it possible?

No way.

In other words, it is extremely difficult, it takes a long time, and it requires a lot of luck.

Therefore, from the moment he fused the [Extreme Dao Sutra], he was already standing at a crossroads and had to choose.

Family?

Or is it magic?

He chose home.

Therefore, he became a person who was not even a first-class martial artist.

Fortunately, he is free and easy by nature, since he can't succeed, he will slowly collect exercises while living the life he wants to live - carefree, drunk and singing.
