Chapter 496: Chapter 289: The Sixth Era: Fire God Zhurong, Great Sun Qi Refining Technique!_2
Unexpectedly, Lu Yuan agreed immediately.
"Xiaoyuan, this matter is of great importance and involves many causes and effects. Have you really thought it through?"
Feng Huai’an asked with concern, regretting having mentioned this to Lu Yuan.
After all, in his view,
Lu Yuan was just a three-year-old child with little experience of the world, how could he understand the horrors of divine punishment and the Great Court Country?
And he, in his moment of senility, almost ruined Lu Yuan’s life.
Thinking of this,
Feng Huai’an decided to put this matter aside temporarily and talk about it in a few years.
"Xiaoyuan, first take care of your health, and we can discuss this matter when you are older."
Seeing him ready to leave, Lu Yuan was dumbfounded.
He had spent a great deal of effort, using [Heaven’s Will], to finally gain a chance to become a Qi Refiner.
Yet at the critical moment, Feng Huai’an suddenly changed his mind?
If they were to wait a few more years, even the daylilies might grow cold by then.
"Clan Leader, though I am young, I understand the principle of mutual dependence."
"At such a critical moment for the tribe’s survival, how can I evade good fortune or adversity?"
In a moment of inspiration, Lu Yuan spoke up hurriedly.
Upon hearing this, Feng Huai’an was instantly moved.
He immediately turned his head, looking at Lu Yuan with disbelief.
He had heard that in ancient times, there were saints, born as divine spirits, who could speak their name upon birth.
And the origins of those Human Emperors were extremely peculiar as well.
For example, Fu Xi the Human Emperor, whose mother Hua Xu stepped into a giant footprint in Lei Ze, thus giving birth to him.
And those geniuses from major tribes often showed intelligence and wisdom from a very young age.
But Feng Huai’an never expected,
that Lu Yuan, at such a young age, would have such awareness!
"Alright, alright, Xiaoyuan, since you’ve made up your mind,"
"then I will mobilize the entire clan’s strength to assist you in your cultivation!"
Feng Huai’an, pleased and laughing heartily, said.
Lu Yuan’s destiny was extraordinary and he was extremely intelligent.
If he could grow smoothly, the Great Wind Tribe might indeed see the rise of a powerful Qi Refiner!
Seeing this, Lu Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
A few days later, once he had fully recovered,
Feng Huai’an took him to an open space, and solemnly reminded,
"Xiaoyuan, since you wish to become a Qi Refiner, I’ll be frank with you first."
"The cultivation method is the foundation of a tribe and its most important legacy."
"But our Lu Clan was once cursed by the deities of the Great Court Country, and all who practice our cultivation method will encounter various misfortunes and disasters!"
"This is a path of no return; if you wish to abandon it, now is your last chance."
"Clan Leader Grandpa, I understand, I will not give up."
Lu Yuan stated solemnly.
"Good!"
Feng Huai’an touched Lu Yuan’s small head, his eyes filled with both comfort and worry.
If it weren’t for the lack of successors in the Great Wind Tribe, how could he let a three-year-old child bear the heavy responsibility of reviving the tribe?
With his mind made up, Feng Huai’an no longer hesitated and immediately imparted all his lifetime’s knowledge to Lu Yuan.
"Though our clan is descended from the Yellow Emperor, we have suffered from many wars and the calamity of annihilation in the past, thus the cultivation methods have long been incomplete."
"By my generation, only a fragmented version of the Great Sun Cultivation Method remains."
Feng Huai’an lamented.
The lineage of the Great Sun Qi Refining Technique is extraordinary, related to the legendary Ancient Fire God Zhurong.
However, ancient times are too far gone.
Therefore, many people today only know Zhurong by name.
But in the ancient era, Zhurong was actually a Fire Official position.
And Zhuang Xu’s son Chongli and Wu Hui both served as Zhurong successively.
If this technique is cultivated to its peak, one can transform into a great sun, patrolling the world in place of the Celestial Emperor!
Following his explanation, Lu Yuan also learned the specifics of the cultivation method and the cultivation realms in the barbaric world.
According to Feng Huai’an, the cultivation method is actually divided into two parts.
The first part is the Qi Refining Method.
The Qi Refining Method strengthens the body.
The key point of this method lies in the word ’refining’.
It can refine the myriad energies of heaven and earth into essence and spiritual power, continuously enhancing one’s physique and strength.
And the stronger the energy that is refined, the stronger the Qi Refiner becomes.
For example, the Ancient Fire God could refine Sun Fire Essence, and with a wave of his hand, turn the sky into a raging sea of fire!
The second part pertains to the ancestral totems.
Visualization totems can refine the soul and nurture the True Spirit.
However, the Great Wind Tribe has suffered calamities repeatedly, and now only a portion of the Qi Refining Method remains.
As for the crucial Fire God Celestial Patrol Map within the Great Sun Cultivation Method, it has long been lost somewhere unknown.
According to the records left by the ancestors, the Qi Refiners of the Barbaric World are divided into seven realms.
They are Qi Refining, Visualization, Spirit Embryo, Inscription, Divine Bridge, Dharma Aspect, and Ascension.
If one reaches the end of this path, they can break through the void and ascend to the Upper Realm.
"In fact, the ancestors once recorded matters beyond the Ascension Realm."
"Unfortunately, after Ancestor Zhuang Xu contended with Gonggong for the throne, they ordered the destruction of the heavenly pathways, demolishing all passages to the Upper Realm."
"Coupled with the passage of time, this part of the secret has long been lost."
Feng Huai’an said regretfully.
In Ancient Times,
mortals could reach the heavens directly, maintaining good communication between heaven and earth.
Divine Spirits of the Upper Realm would often descend to teach mortals Qi Refining Methods or cultivation techniques.
But ever since the destruction of the heavenly pathways.
All Divine Spirits have vanished, leaving only a few ancient countries and deities.
Upon hearing this.
Lu Yuan couldn’t help but recall the scene shown to him by the Will of the Heavens in the Main World.
In the image.
An elder, with tears of blood, desperately warned future generations that the so-called ascension to the Upper Realm was nothing but a lie.
And the reason Ancestor Zhuang Xu ordered the destruction of all ascension passages is presumably related to this matter.
But all this is still too far-fetched for Lu Yuan.
The most urgent task now is to become a Qi Refiner first.
Lu Yuan stopped thinking further and focused on learning the Great Sun Qi Refining Technique.
Under Feng Huai’an’s explanation, he memorized all the Dharma Gates quickly.
The next morning.
At dawn, as the sun rose.
Lu Yuan sat cross-legged on the big stone at the village entrance, facing the sun, continuously mobilizing the qi and blood within his body according to the ancestral Dharma Gate.
Feng Huai’an stood not far away, nervously watching this scene.
"Our ancestor once held the position of Zhurong Fire Official multiple times, possessing unparalleled control over flames."
"The Great Sun Qi Refining Technique requires refining Sun Fire Essence into one’s own spiritual power, which is an innate talent for the Fire God Zhurong."
"But in my generation, the ancestral bloodline has thinned to an almost negligible degree."
"In the process of refining Sun Fire Essence, if one is not careful, they will be consumed by the flames!"
"I wonder if Xiaoyuan can pass this hurdle."
Feng Huai’an said worriedly.
Sun Fire Essence is violent and fierce, representing the power of heaven and earth, far beyond what mortals can grasp.
Back when he was eight, he followed the former clan leader to cultivate the Qi Refining Method, taking a full half month just to barely absorb the first strand of Sun Fire Essence into his body.
And Lu Yuan is a full five years younger than he was back then, making this process far more challenging.
As Feng Huai’an worried.
Lu Yuan’s body shook, suddenly emitting a peculiar ripple as if resonating with the sun in the sky.
Then.
Under Feng Huai’an’s incredulous gaze.
A strand of Sun Fire Essence, as thick as a finger, descended like a meteor, landing in front of Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan then opened his mouth and swallowed it directly, refining it into pure Solar Power!
"Xiaoyuan actually succeeded?"
Feng Huai’an gasped, unable to contain his exclamation.
Lu Yuan, on his first cultivation of the Great Sun Qi Refining Technique, successfully refined a strand of Sun True Essence.
What kind of defying-the-heavens cultivation talent is this?
Moreover, the strand of Sun Fire Essence Lu Yuan absorbed was as thick as a finger, surpassing Feng Huai’an’s past experience both in quality and quantity!
"Could it be that our Great Wind Tribe is truly going to produce a Qi refining prodigy?"
Feng Huai’an’s heart pounded, his aged eyes revealing a glimmer of hope.
Bear in mind, the Great Wilderness is vast and boundless, boasting of ten thousand tribes.
Compared to those tribes with populations in the tens of thousands.
The Great Wind Tribe has only a few hundred people, at best a small village.
And from what he knows.
Even those with extraordinary bloodlines, the unparalleled celestial pride from tribes of a million people, often require several attempts to successfully achieve the entry level on their first cultivation of the Qi Refining Method!
