Chapter 223 228, Golden Immortal's Transformation, Each One's Odds In the Temple of the God of War, on the stone wall opposite the gate, there are engraved ten huge characters about ten feet square, which read: Heaven and earth are cruel and treat all things as straw dogs. Just these ten words, every stroke exudes a kind of mysterious aura, which shocks and moves people from the bottom of their hearts at the first sight. Ouyang Feng stood under the ten huge characters, looking up, with indescribable and mysterious flashes of light flashing through his mind. It was not until a long time later that he retracted his gaze and looked at a figure sitting on the ground with his back to the palace door below the huge characters. Although the figure was sitting, he gave people a very sturdy feeling, as solid and unshakable as a mountain. His clothes and hats are not modern, but seem to come from ancient times. His left hand is hanging on the ground, with a line of small characters engraved on the hand: Guangchengzi witnessed the breaking of the diamond here. It can be seen that this burly figure is none other than the body left behind after the soul of the legendary Yellow Emperor's teacher, the ancient golden immortal Guangchengzi ascended to heaven. Ouyang Feng stared at the remains of Guangchengzi, raised his hand and gently pressed his back. The clothes on his back immediately decayed and turned into ashes, but the skin on his back was extremely tough, with the flexibility and elasticity of flesh and blood, and giving people a feeling of being indestructible. Ouyang Feng even felt that with his current cultivation level, he would not be able to destroy this relic even if he used all his strength. "As expected of the remains of an ancient golden immortal, his physical cultivation is also extremely astonishing, having reached the state of eternal immortality." Ouyang Feng felt emotional.
However, since the physical body is so powerful, why not take the physical body with him and ascend, but leave it here? Looking at Guangchengzi's solemn face, Ouyang Feng had some guesses in his mind. Perhaps, this relic has a special function. It may be a "guardian" like the magic dragon outside the palace. Perhaps at certain special times, such as when the Temple of War God encounters some kind of void disaster, or is in danger of destruction by a powerful foreign enemy, this immortal and indestructible relic will suddenly revive and display incredible power. Or perhaps, Guangchengzi doesn't care about this physical remains. After all, the name "Ancient Golden Immortal Guangchengzi" is a well-known existence in all the heavens and worlds. What is a mere mortal body in this mortal world to Guangchengzi? However, Guangchengzi didn't care. Ouyang Feng, who had just reached the "external scene" and entered the immortal path, had some ideas in his mind. "Perhaps, I can get a glimpse of Guangchengzi's body-refining method from this remains?" As I was thinking, a light and pleasant female voice sounded beside me: "Is this the legendary ancient golden immortal Guangchengzi?" The one who spoke was Kankan. She was not in a hurry to observe the God of War Atlas, but came to Ouyang Feng and looked at Guangchengzi's remains curiously. Ouyang Feng nodded slightly, "It is Guangchengzi of this world." K'an-k'an was curious and asked, "Why do you emphasize 'this world'? Could there be other worlds, other Guang Chengzi?" Ouyang Feng said calmly: "Maybe." He then turned his head to look at Qianqian: "It's a rare opportunity for you to come in, why don't you take the time to observe the War God Atlas?" Kanan smiled sweetly, "Don't we have seven days? If you can understand, maybe you can gain some insights after just a short while. If you can't understand, even if you stare at the forty-nine murals for seven days and seven nights, you will probably be completely confused and gain nothing." "That's not wrong."
Ouyang Feng turned around and looked at Shan Meixian, Shan Wanjing, Dugu Feng, Bai Qing'er, Zhu Yuyan and Shi Feixuan who were observing the mural. Just by looking at their expressions, he knew that these women present had understood something to some extent. This is normal. The martial arts world is originally a man's world, for example, the three great masters are all men. Among the eight great masters of the Demon Sect in the previous generation, there was only one female, Zhu Yuyan. Therefore, in this martial arts world where men hold absolute dominance, any woman who can make a name for herself with her martial arts skills is invariably extremely talented and gifted. Among those present, even the weakest Bai Qing'er, was chosen by Queen Yin as her personal disciple. Her talent and understanding are definitely extraordinary. Of course, there is not much text in the "Atlas of the God of War", only a few purely theoretical statements, so even if one can gain some understanding, what each person gains will be different depending on their own temperament and preferences. Just like the "Xia Ke Xing" on the Island of Heroes, many martial arts masters with extraordinary talents can understand some truths and make great progress in martial arts. However, the truths understood by each person are not only different, but some are even contradictory and incompatible. The only one who can fully understand the mystery of "Xia Ke Xing" is Shi Potian. From Ouyang Feng's perspective, none of the women present could fully understand the mysteries of the God of War Atlas. After all, compared to this world, those truly amazing geniuses in the past and future, such as Ling Donglai, Lang Fanyun and others who had blazed their own trail of destruction, they were still far inferior. But then again, without the kind of astonishing talent that is rare in a thousand years, and with his innate talent and understanding inferior to others, it is just right for him to make up for himself with the four great books, especially the first of them, "Atlas of the God of War". As long as you can gain some insights, no matter how much you gain, it will always be beneficial. At this time, I heard Xianxian ask: "Why do you keep staring at Guang Chengzi's remains? Is there some big secret in this remains?" "That's right." Ouyang Feng did not deny it and nodded, "This relic is indestructible. I feel that it may contain some secrets of body refining." Kankan said, "You want to see through this mystery? Why don't you just look at the War God Atlas? Maybe there's a solution in the War God Atlas." "The War God Atlas is extremely profound. Different people will gain different insights from reading it. Guang Chengzi and I are not the same person. Our personalities and experiences are different. What I see may not be the same as what Guang Chengzi sees." Ouyang Feng said calmly, walked to the opposite side of Guangchengzi, and sat down cross-legged facing Guangchengzi: "Besides, Guang Chengzi, the ancient golden immortal, may not have gained all his cultivation from the Temple of the God of War..." As he spoke, his spiritual sense spread out, covering Guangchengzi's entire body. Seeing that Ouyang Feng was concentrating on studying Guangchengzi's remains, Kankan stopped disturbing him and waved at him: "Then I'm going to look at the God of War Atlas!" "Ah." Ouyang Feng nodded slightly, closed his eyes, blocked his five senses, and amplified his spiritual perception to the limit. With his powerful mind that had reached the realm of external scenery and could perceive the rhythm of heaven and earth on a large scale and control the essence of heaven and earth, he carefully sensed the remains of Guangchengzi, observed its skin, muscles, bones, meridians and acupoints, and explored its specific and subtle structure. Kanan went to the mural engraved with "Illustrated Book of the God of War 1" and stood side by side with her master Zhu Yuyan, concentrating on looking at the god in the mural who was wearing a mask and riding a strange flying dragon. Gradually, she felt that the mural seemed to move, and the divine man riding the dragon seemed to come alive. A strange feeling that was difficult to express in words slowly emerged from her heart and turned into rays of light that flickered in her soul. She wanted to catch those spiritual lights and see clearly what they were explaining, but the more she tried, the harder it was to capture them. Instead, she let go of the idea of forcing herself to see things, and just looked at it with a normal mind. Occasionally, she could gain some profound insights from the fleeting and flickering spiritual light. Before she knew it, she had been immersed in her insights, completely forgetting herself. And under the mural not far from her, Shi Feixuan looked the same. These two old enemies, representing the righteous and evil paths respectively, seemed to have completely ignored and forgotten each other's existence at this moment. In their hearts, the only thing left was their own search for "Tao".
Gradually, more and more warriors followed the ice bridge left by Ouyang Feng, crossed the magic dragon that looked like a dragon turtle at the end of the bridge, came to the Temple of War God, and saw the forty-nine murals. Just as Ouyang Feng expected, even if the God of War Atlas was open to everyone to view, only a few people could gain some insights. Even if one can gain some insights, how much they gain, how profound they are, and how much benefit they can provide to the improvement of martial arts skills all depend on the level of one's comprehension. Those with outstanding talents, such as Hou Xibai, who became an outstanding young master in the world at a young age, have reaped richer rewards. However, some old Dengs who were not outstanding in their youth, but relied on their age and experience to slowly outlast their peers and become local celebrities, are like an old cat catching a turtle, unable to find their feet in front of the God of War Atlas. Looking at those murals that were completely incomprehensible to them, the ordinary warriors and old guys who couldn't understand anything had only one thought in their minds: What the hell is this painting about? Is this the first of the four legendary books? What about the profound and mysterious magical skills? What about the extremely powerful killing move? Why nothing? There isn't a single serious mantra in there, just some nonsense like "the human body is one Tai Chi, the heaven and earth are one Tai Chi" that the old Taoist thieves talk about abstruse theories! Although those who couldn't understand were bewildered and even cursed, when they saw the famous Yin Queen Zhu Yuyan and the young masters who were in the limelight, such as Shan Wanjing, Dugu Feng, Shi Feixuan, Hou Xibai, etc., all of whom seemed to have forgotten themselves and were immersed in it, and saw that famous masters such as Jie Hui and Song Zhi also seemed to have realized something, many warriors, especially the famous senior Lao Deng, could only follow suit and put on an appearance of concentration. They stared at the murals, some frowned in thought, some nodded frequently as if they had gained something, some smiled in surprise. In short, it didn't matter if they didn't understand it. The key was not to let others see that they didn't understand, especially the young ones! Of course, there were also some straightforward young people who asked their companions in a low voice: "What did you see, brother?" "I don't see shit!" "Then why did you keep nodding your head and showing approval just now?" "I was praising the mural for its good painting! Look at the clouds, aren't they exactly like real sunset clouds?" "That's right. The painting is indeed amazing, not like the work of an ordinary person. Even the paintings of the amorous young man Hou Xibai are far inferior to this. But this is the God of War Atlas. We are not here to see the paintings!" "Of course I know this is the God of War Atlas, but the problem is, what secrets are hidden in these murals? I really can't figure it out at all! Just looking at them makes my eyes sore and my head hurts." "Me too. But why do those people, such as Master Fairy and Lord Hou, seem to have gained something?" "Tsk, what level are Master and the others at? And what level are we at? Of course, what they see is different from what we see..." There are also straightforward young people who ask their elders who look surprised and happy: "Uncle Master, what did you see?" "Excellent, absolutely wonderful!" "So, what did you see?" "Tsk, how can a young man like you be so ignorant? The real truth is so profound that it can only be understood, not explained. Anyway, I, your uncle, don't have the ability to tell you..." "But Uncle Master..." "You little bastard, why are you still talking so much nonsense? Go away, get out of my way and talk to the younger ones. Don't delay my enlightenment!" this day. There were hundreds of Bashu martial arts masters who entered the Temple of the God of War to view the God of War Atlas. Not many of them gained anything, but many people could not save their face and pretended that they had gained a lot.
At least they memorized the few words in the God of War Atlas that were purely theoretical and did not involve any martial arts techniques or moves. Next time when I brag to others, I can recite these words and use them to fool them. Of course, even if they didn't understand anything, no martial artist was willing to leave. They stayed in the Temple of the God of War, staring with eyes wide open, scanning the forty-nine murals back and forth, hoping that they would suddenly become enlightened and see something. Some people also saw Ouyang Feng meditating below the ten giant characters, facing a strange figure that was said to be the remains of the ancient golden immortal Guangchengzi. They wondered if the legendary Guangchengzi was meditating below the ten giant characters, and the supreme master was also meditating there, could it be that these ten characters "Heaven and Earth are not benevolent and treat all things as straw dogs" contain some shocking secrets? So they all stared at the ten huge words. There were even some clever kids who used weapons or fists and feet to practice the moves according to the strokes of the ten giant characters. As a result, they really found that when they made the moves according to the stroke order, the flow of their Qi was particularly smooth, and the power of their moves was particularly great. They could also control their fists and feet and the weight, speed and speed as they wished. This discovery soon spread to some impatient young people. As a result, many young people and martial arts masters who learned nothing from the murals flocked to the bottom of the ten huge characters and began to practice according to the stroke order with great interest. Of course, there were also warriors who were creative and found new ways. They tried to practice their moves according to the more conspicuous lines on the forty-nine murals, and actually developed some mysterious moves. At this point, everyone thought they had finally discovered the secret of the "War God Atlas", and their enthusiasm grew even higher. After many masters had made some progress, they even brought their friends and companions to discuss and exchange ideas, and their martial arts skills actually improved a lot. In fact, their way of training is not wrong. However, this is like buying the box and returning the pearl. Although they have gained a lot in terms of martial arts skills, they still have gained nothing as for the real "Tao" - then again, this real "Tao" that leads to heaven is not something that ordinary martial artists with insufficient qualifications can touch. Being able to gain something in martial arts is enough to make them happy and smile. Hundreds of martial artists who saw the strange phenomenon last night entered the War God Temple on the first day. Many of them sent messages to their relatives and friends in various ways before entering, asking them to come and watch the War God Record. So on the next day, many martial artists came and entered the Temple of War God through the entrance. Even Song Que, who was far away in Lingnan, received the message delivered by Song Zhi on a flying eagle. After pondering for a long time and not leaving Lingnan for many years, Song Que, who was almost staying at home until the grass grew over, finally took up his sword and left Songjia Mountain City. When Song Que arrived at the Temple of War God on the third day, he happened to meet an "old rival" with whom he had been friends for a long time, who had strategically despised each other and had uttered harsh words to each other many times, but with whom he had never really fought. It was the evil king Shi Zhixuan. The two met in the hall on the right side of Jingyan Palace. They looked at each other but did not confront each other. They just nodded slightly to each other, kept their distance, and jumped into the entrance one after the other. And before Song Que and Shi Zhixuan entered the Temple of War God. Ouyang Feng, who had been sitting in front of Guangchengzi's remains for two days and two nights, finally had some realizations. There was a sudden crackling sound from his body, and at the same time, his skin, muscles and bones trembled slightly, and he was once again undergoing some kind of fine-tuning, constantly evolving towards a more perfect direction...
