"Qiankun Great Method!"
Chen Jie stared at the secret manual resting on the jade table ahead, his gaze lighting up. As the proverb states, "Worn-out iron shoes with no place to find it, and then it comes effortlessly"—this was exactly the Qiankun Great Method he had desperately sought.
To his surprise, it sat plainly on this stone table.
Pondering the fierce battles and grabs for the Qiankun Great Method outside, Du Zundao's madness, Little Ming King's ravenous desire, and the profound significance it carried.
In Chen Jie's view, the Qiankun Great Method before him carried the weight of a thousand catties.
Regardless of the turmoil outside or the hordes clashing to plunder this Qiankun Great Method, perfect calm prevailed here.
Raising his head, Chen Jie spotted the pavilion's name: the "Contemplation Hall".
Contemplation signifies the secluded spot where former Zoroastrian Sect Sect Hierarchs meditated and honed their Kung Fu.
Credit where due, the Zoroastrian Sect elders truly excelled in picking spots.
Chen Jie stayed cautious, refraining from seizing the Qiankun Great Method right away. He examined the manual completely, inside and out, plus the pavilion's interior and exterior. Finding no threats, he finally relaxed.
Cultivating Kung Fu mirrors driving a vehicle; securing the environment's safety comes first. At a vital cultivation moment, how could one spare attention for outside threats?
Should real danger lurk and an ambusher strike during seclusion, no defense would hold.
With surroundings verified as secure and free of perils, Chen Jie stepped to the jade table and scrutinized the Qiankun Great Method book's material closely.
Chen Jie had seen plenty of archaeology shows; certain ancient texts look whole, yet prolonged erosion means a light touch might shatter the whole secret manual.
Were that to pass, Chen Jie figured he'd stand there dumbfounded.
Thankfully, though the Qiankun Great Method seemed penned on paper, its material was exceptionally unique. Upon inspection, it resembled some beast hide, yet remarkably thin like paper. Touching it revealed fine elasticity.
No surprise Little Ming King and Han Ling’er dismissed fears of a forged manual from him; this material alone defied quick imitation.
Still, it mattered little, as he planned no foul play with the Qiankun Great Method.
Harboring such thoughts, Chen Jie lifted the Qiankun Great Method.
Secret manual grasped, Chen Jie delved into it carefully. Beyond the preface, the Qiankun Great Method held five sections: "Qian Yuan Chu Dong", "Immovable Primordial Earth", "Yin Yang Intersection", "Shifting", and "Qiankun Unification".
Its fourth layer, "Shifting", offered the precise breakdown of the Heaven and Earth Transposition techniques Chen Jie craved.
To be precise, its complete title.
Grasping the secret manual, Chen Jie started reading from the preface.
"The way of heaven and earth, Yin Yang Qian Kun, Yin Yang as the foundation, Qian Kun as the manifestation, Yin Yang Intersection, Qian Kun self-connects."
"This ’Qiankun Great Method’ gathers the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, comprehends the mysteries of Yin Yang, understands the transformations of Qian Kun. Those who cultivate this Kung Fu need to understand the way of Yin Yang and realize the principles of Qian Kun; otherwise, not obtaining its method will instead harm oneself."
The signature below: "Mao Ziyuan"
Spotting this name, Chen Jie paused in shock, then remembered: the Zoroastrian Sect's founder.
This figure began as a monk, disciple to the famed Eastern Jin monk Hui Yuan. He embraced the Three Jewels and kept the Five Precepts, only to later enter Taoism's Fire Virtue Sect, revering the South's Fire Virtue Blazing Star Lord, thus bridging Buddhism to Taoism.
In just eighteen years, he dominated both Buddhist and Taoist paths, blending them innovatively, shouldered the duty to redeem the world, and birthed the Zoroastrian Sect—the most dominant force in later eras.
He stood as the founding Sect Hierarch and inaugural Venerable King Ming!
From ancient records, Chen Jie reflected on all he knew of this legendary powerhouse, convinced that a real man must embody such grandeur, leaving an enduring legacy for posterity.
At the very least, a Sect Hierarch if not an emperor.
These ideas swirled in Chen Jie's mind, but he favored the former—“A true man should be an emperor!”
Clutching the Qiankun Great Method, Chen Jie skimmed through its pages once, detected no problems, and prepared to commence true cultivation. Scanning his surroundings, he spotted the vividly golden meditation cushion resting on the floor.
Made from some mysterious substance, the cushion gleamed with an intensely brilliant hue, exuding remarkable elegance.
Its color held firm without fading. The moment Chen Jie settled onto it, clarity flooded his mind, thoughts racing vividly as if enlightenment had dawned abruptly, leaving him stunned.
Standing up erased that magical sensation, yet sitting back down reignited his lively mind. Chen Jie’s gaze sparkled; might this marvel also sharpen memory and foster insights? What a genuine treasure this cushion was.
With such notions, Chen Jie cast aside all else and planted himself straight on the cushion.
Cross-legged he positioned himself, palms facing upward to the skies, purging every stray thought from his consciousness.
Flipping open the Qiankun Great Method, he passed over the later parts and plunged into the content of the initial section.
The first section: “Qian Yuan Chu Dong”—sparking primal motion by fusing inner qi with heaven and earth, rendering Qian supple, turning Kun robust, where rigidity and yielding coexist to birth the first stirrings.
The second section: “Immovable Primordial Earth”—faith reshapes Primordial Earth, Kun embodies the land, its boundless virtue cradles everything, heralding endless potential, countering countless shifts with serene stability.
United, these two sections distill to merely Qian Kun.
What defines Qian? What signifies Kun?
Qian stands for heaven; Kun for earth. Qian Kun forms heaven and earth; Qian links to Yang, Kun to Yin. Qian Kun embodies Yin Yang; Qian embodies strength, Kun flexibility. Strength and flexibility harmonize only when balanced; command of these sections unlocks Qian Kun's essence, converting rigid to yielding and firm to soft, vastly amplifying might!
