BXBX NOVEL Chapter 62 - 62: The Heart is Like The Sun, Its
Translator: 549690339
A cultivation technique that needs sunlight to practice is not a good one. It should not limit the disciple’s path, it must be corrected.
The matter of the cultivation technique is left to the disciple to perceive, Li Xuan just needs to silently observe.
Meng Chong fell into contemplation, deciding to practice that night.
In the courtyard, with his legs set in a horse stance, Meng Chong began to practice.
“Why can’t I sense my Qi and blood?”
Without the warmth of the sun on his body, Meng Chong found he couldn’t sense his Qi and blood when he started practicing.
“Indeed, 1 must have misunderstood the cultivation technique.”
Meng Chong took a deep breath, calmed his heart, and began to finely sense his own body.
At one moment, he finally sensed his Qi and blood, although it was weak and the refining process was too slow.
“Why is it faster to cultivate under the sun?”
Meng Chong fell into thought.
Li Xuan’s expression changed slightly, he too fell into thought. Meng Chong, who practiced at night, was clearly much weaker.
“Something’s not right, could the ‘Sun Crossing the Sky’ really requires the sun to shine on it for more efficient cultivation?”
Even Li Xuan was stumped.
He carefully revisited the ‘Sun Crossing the Sky’ cultivation technique he created and no matter how he looked at it, it had no relationship with cultivating under the sun.
“Could it be, it’s the name of the cultivation technique?”
Li Xuan couldn’t help but fall into thought.
“Let’s see how Meng Chong solves this.”
Li Xuan decided to leave it be.
As long as he’s teaching his disciples, he shares the cultivation techniques he creates and lets his disciples interpret them themselves.
How to succeed in cultivation is up to the disciples themselves to comprehend.
While Meng Chong stirred his Qi and blood to refine his body, he meditated finely on the changes within himself, his Qi and blood were weak and the refining process was extremely slow.
“What’s wrong? It’s impossible that 1 need to practice under the sun, 1 must not have truly understood it.”
While Meng Chong sensed the changes in his Qi and blood, he read the cultivation technique word for word.
“The ‘Sun Crossing the Sky’ must be related to the sun. Since it doesn’t have to be practiced under the sun, then…”
“No, the sun never disappears.”
“It’s covered by clouds on rainy days, and it temporarily sets at night…”
“So, the sun is always present.”
A lightbulb seemed to go off in Meng Chong’s mind, he vaguely grasped something.
“Master said it lies in perception, in understanding. 1 haven’t grasped the essence of the technique, that’s my shortcoming…”
What is the “essence” of the ‘Sun Crossing the Sky’?
Meng Chong fell into thought.
At this time, Qi and blood flowed from the bones to the internal organs, his heart was beating, and the Qi and the blood refining the heart felt warm. The Qi and blood flowing out from the heart became richer and more pure.
In an instant, Meng Chong seemed to have understood the “essence” of the ‘Sun Crossing the Sky’.
“The essence of the ‘Sun Crossing the Sky’ is naturally the idea of the sun. The sun in the sky may be absent, but the sun in my heart is unchanging…”
At this moment, Meng Chong felt as though he had opened a window and saw a sun crossing the sky.
“My heart is like the sun, self-illuminating, its essence is clear, resonating with the sun above…”
Meng Chong entered a mysterious state of cultivation.
His heart began to beat rhythmically, wave after wave of Qi and blood surged out, pulsating within his heart, and flowing to the other internal organs.
He seemed to see, not a heart beating in his body, but a sun.
At one moment, the image of the midday sun at its peak during his practices appeared in his mind.
His heart and the sun seemed to resonate with each other.
Thump, thump, thump…
His heart was pulsating. With each beat, it seemed to erupt a surge of vitality that circulated throughout his organs. It then circulated through the bones and skin, and again from the skin to the bones and heart…
A complete cycle appeared.
As he attuned himself to the image of the Sun Crossing the Sky, his breath gradually became rhythmic. Moreover, his heartbeat became stronger, and his vitality grew increasingly fervent and robust.
At a certain moment, he felt warmth spread throughout his body. His vitality flowed in every corner of his body, and the sensation of soreness in his bones intensified.
Furthermore, he felt as if he himself were a big bell, with his flesh, skin, bones, and organs forming a perfect round shape.
Sun Crossing the Sky Golden Bell Shield!
“I finally comprehend the Cultivation Technique!”
Meng Chong felt a surge of joy. At this moment, he was only aware of his physical body consistently strengthening.
Round like a giant bell!
“I have already felt the sensation of the body like the Golden Bell Shield!”
Meng Chong was so excited. At this moment, he had completely lost track of time and was persistently cultivating.
Li Xuan had been attentively watching Meng Chong. As a martial artist, his keen senses allowed him to clearly perceive the changes in Meng Chong’s body.
“His breath has become regular. His vitality is enhancing… His vitality is all-rounded, pervading his whole body, merging internally and externally… The body of the Golden Bell Shield…”
At that moment, Li Xuan was ecstatic.
Meng Chong had comprehended the method of cultivating the Sun Crossing the Sky Golden Bell Shield.
At that moment, he was in the midst of his cultivation.
“His physical body is visibly strengthening. This disciple of mine is indeed suitable for the cultivation of body refinement techniques.”
Meng Chong’s body was continuously growing stronger.
“When accepting a disciple, one must focus on their talents, and create a cultivation method that fits their talent, making it easier for them to comprehend…”
Li Xuan felt like he had found the standard for accepting disciples.
A new disciple signifies a new cultivation method.
He couldn’t possibly create dozens or hundreds of new cultivation methods or systems.
Thus, the requirement for his disciple was to have extraordinary talent, which would be suitable for creating a new cultivation method.
“Will Meng Chong be able to make a breakthrough within a month?”
Expectation flashed through Li Xuan’s eyes.
There was no doubt that Xu Yan’s talent was extraordinary, otherwise, he wouldn’t have successfully practiced the cultivation method that Li Xuan had made up on the fly.
The Cultivation Technique that Meng Chong was practicing, although also made up, at least had a reference. Moreover, Li Xuan was already a Martial Artist.
What’s more, Meng Chong’s talent truly lies in body refinement techniques.
“It’s time to tell Meng Chong about the categorization of bone refinement. In body refinement techniques, the level comparable to jade bone is ‘Diamond Lazurite Bone’. I hope he can refine this Diamond Lazurite Bone idea that I’ve made up.
“If Xu Yan could refine the Jade Bone, Meng Chong shouldn’t have any problem refining the Diamond Lazurite Bone, right?
“He still needs some assistance, just like how Xu Yan had to fight Fire Maned Wolves to break through to the Jade Bone.”
Li Xuan began to plan Meng Chong’s subsequent cultivation.
If Meng Chong can practice the Diamond Lazurite Bone, once he steps into Martial Arts, Li Xuan will also receive feedback. If that happens, what kind of changes will occur with his own combination of Jade Bone + Diamond Lazurite Bone?
It would undoubtedly become even stronger!
Just thinking about it made him extremely excited.
“Meng Chong stepping into Martial Arts is just a matter of time. Next, 1 should prepare the martial skills and techniques for him.
“Xu Yan practices palm techniques, so Meng Chong can practice fist techniques…
“As for movement techniques, as usual, just draw The Eight Diagrams for him, explain a bit, and let him comprehend it on his own.
“Moreover, 1 need to perfect the subsequent system of body refinement techniques.”
In a calm and clear state of mind, Li Xuan began to consider the cultivation path for Meng Chong after his entrance to Martial Arts.
The path of physical body refinement was one system within Martial Arts. It mainly emphasizes the physical body, but Li Xuan needed to perfect it, not merely focusing on brute strength, so the body refinement techniques can be just as formidable..
