Chapter 47 The Way of Immortality
One month later, it was only eight months before the disciple competition.
"What a strange pattern, it clearly contains tremendous vitality, why does it contain opposite decay power?" Lu Jiang had already had his own insights after being immersed in the pattern for several months. He keenly realized that the pattern contained two extreme forces, which made Lu Jiang very puzzled.
Now, he can only feel the power in the pattern that is opposite to the vitality power, which Lu Jiang calls this power corruption. To be honest, Lu Jiang wants to feel the vitality power even more. Just imagine, when he is injured, wouldn’t he be able to recover the trauma instantly with this pattern?
But Lu Jiang did not worry about this much, and being able to sense the decayed patterns had already satisfied him.
Taking a deep breath and opening his eyes from his insight, Lu Jiang was helpless that he didn't know when he could control these patterns. Perhaps he could walk in one day, or perhaps he would not be able to control them for the rest of his life.
Just as Lu Jiang opened his eyes, he was stunned and stared at the space blankly, wiping his eyes unbelievably. When he looked again, he was not only stunned, but in his sight, he was no longer a simple stone stairs, and the entire space was covered with gray patterns.
"This... are the patterns I have realized in the past few months?" Lu Jiang did not come back to his senses for a while. After looking at them for a long time, Lu Jiang said again: "No... these patterns are patterns containing decay power."
Lu Jiang took a deep breath, and the excitement in his heart was difficult to soothe. If he could see these patterns, it would undoubtedly make him one step closer to mastering the decaying patterns. He pondered for a little while, and Lu Jiang stared at these patterns straight and wrote down all of them.
Gradually, these patterns emerged in Lu Jiang's mind, and Lu Jiang integrated his perception of decay into the patterns and could not extricate himself.
Three days later, Lu Jiang came back to his senses from the patterns. His mind was occupied by these patterns, but what made Lu Jiang helpless was that these patterns were so dense that he spent three days remembering only a drop in the bucket.
"No, if you keep it like this, I don't know when to write down all these patterns."
"Does the derivation of these patterns have certain rules? If you understand these rules, it will be much easier to remember them, and even... different patterns can be derived?" Lu Jiang pondered for a long time and began to try to understand these rules.
……………………
In a blink of an eye, it was only half a year before the disciple competition.
On this day, Lu Jiang's mind exploded. The patterns he recorded actually emitted light in his mind. Countless dense patterns merged quickly. Finally, they gathered into a bead less than the size of a sand grain. Lu Jiang also woke up from his perception and looked at the beads in his body. Lu Jiang was a little puzzled. He didn't know how the bead was formed at all, as if there was an inexplicable force guiding these patterns.
If Lu Jiang had spiritual consciousness at this time and could look inside anywhere in his body, perhaps, he would find that the Great Demon Sutra floating in his mind was emitting a faint light, shrouding these decaying patterns.
"Buzz!!" Just when Lu Jiang was surprised, the entire Siguo Peak suddenly buzzed and shook. The gray and white lines in Lu Jiang's sight rushed into Lu Jiang's mind like a river returning to the sea. Lu Jiang looked at the rapidly disappearing patterns, not only shocked.
"What's the situation?" Lu Jiang was puzzled. He looked in his mind and was not only stunned. The bead, which was only the size of a sand grain, was the size of a mung bean at this time. Its shape was like a seed, and the seeds were covered with complex patterns.
"This..." Lu Jiang was stunned.
Just when Lu Jiang was stunned, on the top of Siguofeng Mountain, the old man who was kneeling on one knee to the ancestral temple slowly stood up and murmured towards the ancestral temple: "I am looking forward to the combination of the power of decay and the combat skills. How powerful will the combination of the power of decay and the combat skills burst out." After a long time, the old man suddenly said: "I wasted countless years, but I didn't expect that at this moment, I would have the idea of reluctant to leave. If this boy had appeared for 100,000 years, maybe I could still witness your growth pace, what..."
The old man with a hairy hair sitting cross-legged at the entrance of Siguofeng Avenue also opened his eyes. He turned his head and looked at the stairs behind him. After a while, he murmured: "Can I still see the day when the supreme combat skills reappear in the world in my lifetime?"
Lu Jiang didn't know what the two old men were thinking. At this time, he was studying the seeds made of patterns in his mind, but after thinking for a long time, he found nothing. This kind of seed floated quietly in his mind, without any luster, and no power emerged. This made Lu Jiang not only confused but pondered for a long time, but Lu Jiang simply gave up exploring, but planned to continue to comprehend the patterns in the space.
But this time, Lu Jiang could not feel the traces at all, which made Lu Jiang stunned. After thinking for a moment, he immediately understood that all the traces he could feel were gathered in the seeds in his mind. I am afraid that in the future, if you want to understand the traces, you still need to start with the seeds and think for a while. Lu Jiang no longer thought about it, but stood up and calculated the time. It was less than half a year before the disciple competition. Lu Jiang planned to use the disciple competition in this half year to prepare for the disciple competition.
When Lu Jiang was about to leave, he suddenly thought of something. He turned his head and looked at the top of Siguo Peak, pondered for a little, and he walked towards the top of the mountain. This time, the pressure seemed to be useless to him.
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Lu Jiang came to the highest level of the stairs and climbed to the top of the mountain. When he saw the scene at the top of the mountain, Lu Jiang was not only stunned.
I only saw that the old man who was sweeping the stone steps was kneeling in front of an ordinary ancestral temple, as if he was carrying a thorn to apologize. This made Lu Jiang puzzled, but he did not speak out.
"Brother, come here." The old man's words suddenly rang out. Lu Jiang looked up and found that the old man was staring at him. Although Lu Jiang was puzzled, he came to the old man without hesitation. Looking at the ancestral temple in front of him, Lu Jiang hesitated for a little and knelt down on one knee.
"He can bear your three bows and nine bows." The old man said inexplicably.
Lu Jiang's heart moved, guessing that the ancestral temple should be a place where the ancestors of Tianyun Sect were worshipped, and that he could get the pattern. Perhaps it was because of this ancestor's gift. Thinking of this, Lu Jiang knelt on his knees and bowed three times and nine times to the ancestral temple. Just after Lu Jiang finished worshiping, an inexplicable force lifted Lu Jiang.
"No one has been here for a long time." The old man said with a confused expression, as if he was trapped in endless memories. Lu Jiang stood aside. Although he didn't know what the old man said, he did not disturb the old man's thoughts. Lu Jiang vaguely guessed that the old man in front of him was not as simple as he saw.
"Once upon a time, tens of sects of this mountain came to worship. Those who want to step on this mountain can line up from the foot of the mountain to the edge of the Daoyuan boundary, but you are the fifth person who can truly climb this mountain." The old man retracted his thoughts, turned to look at Lu Jiang, and said, "You are the first person who can understand the Dao Seed of Decay. Perhaps, there are only one of the two who have been able to understand the Dao Seed of Decay for countless years."
Lu Jiang was shocked, frowned and digested the old man's words, and realized the only two people of the way of immortality? So, who would the other one be?
"Remember, before you can truly see the morality and put the decay into various ways, you will suddenly expose the decay. As for whether you can get the decay now, it depends on your fortune." The old man paused and sighed: "Over the years, the words he said are not as much as today. Brother, please come in and watch it." The old man didn't seem to want Lu Jiang to know too much, so he quickly changed the topic. Before Lu Jiang answered, the old man stood up first and walked into the ancestral temple in front of him.
Lu Jiang thought for a little, followed the old man and walked in.
The ancestral temple was very empty, with only a cushion, a table with spiritual seats, and a scroll hanging on the wall. There was nothing else. Lu Jiang swept over the ancestral temple and his eyes fell on the scroll hanging on the wall. What surprised him was that there was nothing on the scroll. In other words, it was a blank scroll.
"How could there be nothing?" Lu Jiang frowned slightly. How could the scroll be hung here be so simple? After a little pondering, Lu Jiang slowly closed his eyes and felt the scroll carefully with his mind. Not long after, Lu Jiang was shocked all over. His mind felt a violent fluctuation coming from the scroll. This fluctuation made Lu Jiang feel his mind tremble.
"What a terrible picture scroll!" Lu Jiang quickly opened his eyes and did not dare to feel the picture scroll again.
The old man beside him looked at Lu Jiang with relief, his eyes were filled with blank pictures and said, "If one day, you think you can control this picture, you can come here to get it."
Lu Jiang looked at the old man awkwardly and did not speak. He had already confirmed that the old man in front of him was not ordinary. In front of such an unfathomable person, Lu Jiang did not dare to call the old man casually as before.
"You have obtained the seed of the Dead, and any achievements you can achieve in the future depend on your fortune. This is the map of the Burning Heaven Site. Follow the instructions on the map, you may get something unexpected. Well, it's only half a year away from the disciples. You go down the mountain." The old man took out a map and handed it to Lu Jiang.
Lu Jiang took the map and looked at the map. He was full of doubts and unexpected things? Then, Lu Jiang looked at the old man, bowed slightly, and said, "Thank you... Senior." As he said, Lu Jiang took the map, turned around and left. Lu Jiang didn't know what the place indicated on the map was, but what he knew was that if he wanted to enter the Burning Heaven Site, he still had to stand out in the disciple competition.
