Chapter 14: The Vanishing Aura
"These old things have been suppressed in my heart for too long, and today I can tell them in one breath, and it is much more enjoyable!" his face was full of relief.
After hearing him say so much, I suddenly understood that the reason why the castle master had been in retreat all these years was not just for the sake of cultivation. He is more like a wounded beast that needs to hide and lick his wounds alone.
He locked himself in the memories of the past, living in the regrets of the past.
He was blaming himself, if he hadn't sent the child to the Hidden World Academy back then, would all this tragedy not happen?
Who would have thought that the villagers of Dongfang Fort would have such a tragic story behind him, who was like a god in their hearts.
I can't even help but wonder how much of the chivalrous figure of his youth is still on the body of such a castle master?
Maybe the wine tastes more fragrant after aging!
I believe that it must be the case, people will grow old and the flame of life will be extinguished, but the chivalrous spirit is eternal.
After all the tribulation, it will only be purer!
It can be seen from the respect that the villagers have shown him over the years that the castle master is still the castle master! He was a hero in the secular martial arts back then, and now he is a hero in the immortal world!
The transformation from martial arts to immortal heroes, this is also the road I want to take in the future.
But, at the moment, it doesn't seem so important to me.
All I was left with was deep regret and disappointment, and I didn't get much detail about his life from his story just now.
Ten years of waiting, ten years of anticipation, but it is such a result, my heart suddenly hurts.
You say he's a good guy, you say he has a hard time, you say don't let me blame him......
However, even those as powerful as you have never seen his true face, so what can I blame him?
Father, what an ethereal word!
In the past ten years, I have fantasized countless times about how heroic and upright his figure is and how melodious his voice is, but to this day, it is still blank!
If I had been expecting anything before, now I feel more and more distant about him.
At this moment, my eyes were red, my heart was full of resentment, all kinds of emotions were constantly rising, I was struggling, almost on the verge of exploding and collapsing.
"Little ......"
Suddenly, a soft call rang in my ears, and I noticed a slender figure standing in front of me.
At this moment, even the air around me was filled with a good smell of youth, and at the same time, a gentle hand was caressing my hair.
That's β how it felt as a kid...... It was warm and sweet.
That'sβit's a dead time!
I looked up at her and saw that her eyes were as red as mine, but they were warm, and the tears were full of concern and encouragement.
"Sister!" I murmured, feeling extremely ashamed. Compared to her, as a man, my posture at the moment is indeed too pretentious.
At least, my father just disappeared, and she ...... Nothing!
"Why did the castle lord suddenly talk about the events of the past?" I asked solemnly, picking up my mood.
"I didn't plan to tell you about it so soon, but after I made a breakthrough in my cultivation recently, I found some problems that I couldn't understand before, and I finally understood some of Engong's intentions back then. Seeing that I recovered so quickly, the castle lord nodded with satisfaction.
"Xiao Tian, do you remember what happened when you practiced my innate exercises with Xiao Xiao that year?"
Suddenly, memories flooded through my mind like a flood that opened the floodgates, and the bits and pieces that happened back then instantly surfaced in my heart......
Innate exercises are not practiced only when you reach the peak of the day after tomorrow.
There are too many people in the secular martial arts who practice the innate exercises after reaching the peak of the day after tomorrow, and it is really because the martial arts cheats that belong to the innate realm are too rare.
Only through diligent cultivation and striving to improve their own strength can they have certain qualifications after reaching the peak of the acquired realm.
Unless a person like Dongfang Win I has a great opportunity of his own, he needs to become a core member of some major sects with his extraordinary strength and make enough merits before he can obtain some of the innate exercises of that sect.
And most of the true inheritance disciples of those sects practiced with the elders of the sect when they were very young, and initially dabbled in the innate exercises of their own sect, attracting the aura of heaven and earth into their bodies, fully tapping their own potential, and practicing at a faster speed.
Fortunately, in front of me and Xiaoxiao, there is a person like Dongfang who wins me, and it is natural for me to practice innate exercises since I was a child.
In that year, he taught the exercises he had practiced to me and Xiaoxiao at the same time, and finally after feeling the aura of heaven and earth, he smoothly guided the aura into his body, and successfully opened up the sea of qi, stepping into the ranks of innate beings.
However, what happened to me was much more tortuous......
I also felt the innate aura!
It's just that after those auras enter my body, they will always disappear in an instant!
No matter how hard I tried and tried, there was no way to feel the traces of these true qi in my body again, let alone gather them together so that I could guide them to impact and open up the sea of qi.
For this situation, the castle owner has no way, after all, he was born in Yeluzi and was able to become a congenital master back then, a large part of which was due to luck, and his own understanding of this aspect was not very deep.
Even if his cultivation had already stepped into the primordial realm at that time, and his strength was worthy of the word "immortal", in the face of the strange situation that happened to me, he could only sigh in vain!
So, I'm still not very sure about my true realm.
It is said that it is acquired, but it can sense the aura of heaven and earth and absorb them into the body, although they will disappear soon.
It can be said that it is innate, but there is no sea of qi in the body, and there is no true qi that can be called.
If you really want to say it, half-step innate may be more appropriate.
This is indeed a very embarrassing realm, after all, if the problem of the unprovoked disappearance of true qi is not solved, I will not see any hope of reaching the innate realm in my life.
Having said that, I'm not one to give up easily! I've been practicing that practice for so many years, even though the results are the same every time.
But that kind of weather aura feels really good when it enters the body!
At least, in reality, I have also learned family qigong since I was a child, but I have never felt the existence of the aura of heaven and earth once, and I have never heard of any elder who has ever felt like this.
In fact, the castle master's innate exercises are quite similar to my family's qigong, but compared with it, qigong is too subtle and too simple!
Even I struggled with this for a while, thinking to myself that the legends about the ancient qi refiners in the real world were all true?
