The Art of Longevity was an important cultivation technique that ran through the entire world of Tang novels. It was one of the four great books in the world, along with the treasure of Ci Hang Jing Zhai, the Ci Hang Sword Code, the Demon Sect's treasured book, the Demon Strategy, and the mysterious God of War Catalog!
Song Yang, who had read most of the Wuxia novels written by Master Huang Yi, knew that the experts in this world were roughly divided into: Unranked, Third-rate, Second-rate, First-rate, Xiantian, Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Heaven Man Unity, Shattering Void, and the other nine levels!
And the most powerful cultivation technique in this world was the War God Catalog of the Four Great Mystical Books.
It was said that each of these four books contained the secrets of life and the universe since ancient times. The War God Catalog was the most illusory of the four books.
The Art of Longevity was a simplified version of the War God Catalog!
Song Yang, who was familiar with the content of the original novel, knew that the God of War Catalog wasn't a book, a painting, or even data recorded in words.
It was just a group of embossed floating in the air, quietly existing in the War God Hall, waiting for the fated person to comprehend it and comprehend the supreme martial arts realm.
To put it simply, the War God Catalog was a embossed of 49 relief sculptures suspended in the air above the War God Hall. The pictures on the relief sculptures depicted the principles of martial arts. These principles of martial arts could be applied to any martial arts and moves.
After comprehending these martial arts principles, one could absorb the essence of all things in the world and turn it into one's own internal strength. It would achieve the exchange of yin and yang, and the cycle would be endless. The internal strength would be boundless. It would no longer be a legend if one could block ten thousand or a hundred thousand.
The War God Catalog was like a technique passed down from the prehistoric times. It surpassed ordinary mortal martial arts and had a total of 49 moves. The last move," Shattering the Void," touched the secrets of heaven and earth.
In ancient times, Emperor Huang Xuanyuan's teacher, Guang Chengzi, came to the War God Hall at a certain time and comprehended the mysteries of the universe in the War God Catalog.
After returning to the ground, Guang Chengzi wrote this knowledge into the Secret of Longevity and passed it on to the Yellow Emperor. After that, Guang Chengzi returned to the War God Hall and directly broke through the void.
During the Western Han Dynasty, Xie Tiao, the first generation of the Demon Sect's Evil Emperor, saw the records of the War God Catalog in an ancient tomb belonging to the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period. He was able to understand the secrets of the catalog and created the Great Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique.
In the end, this cultivation method was recorded in the 'Sky Demon Policy', and passed down.
Dini, the founder of the Compassionate Boathouse, and Xie Tiao, the Evil Emperor, were lovers. Although the two eventually broke up due to their differences in Buddhism, Dini also learned the secret of shattering the void by reading the records of the God of War.
The Sword Manual of Benevolent Voyage was also greatly affected by the void shattering. The Dao Embryo Demon Seed each went to the extreme, but the source was the same.
The Art of Longevity, the Great Demonic Seed Technique in the Heart of the Dao (the Heavenly Demon Strategy), and even the Sword Art of Mercy Flight could be said to have originated from the War God Catalog.
And that was how the ultimate move of the War God Totem,'Shattering the Void', was passed down.
Song Yang, who had obtained the Art of Longevity, was very happy because this Art of Longevity seemed to be tailor-made for emperors. Not only could it rejuvenate one's youth, but it could also extend one's lifespan.
There were seven pictures in the book: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth, Yin, and Yang. It was a simplified version of the 49 embossed pictures in the War God Catalog.
It was likely that Emperor Huang Xuanyuan had comprehended the mysteries of heaven and earth, and in the end, he had 3,000 concubines ascend.
Although no one had mastered the Art of Longevity except for Guang Chengzi and the Yellow Emperor, Song Yang, who had read the original novel, knew that ordinary people had to start from the basics to practice martial arts. They had to first practice Houtian Zhen Qi (below Xiantian) and then work hard to cultivate to the Xiantian realm.
This was a dividing line because the biggest difference between Xiantian and Houtian was that Xiantian could absorb the energy of heaven and earth from the outside world, while Houtian could only absorb their own essence.
Therefore, only those who had cultivated Xiantian True Qi and reached the Xiantian Realm could be called true experts.
However, this Art of Longevity was the opposite. It directly cultivated the innate true qi.
This was completely different from the cultivation method of the various sects since ancient times, which required one to first cultivate the Houtian Zhen Qi and then return to the Xiantian realm. If one did not have the method and forcefully cultivated the Art of Longevity, one's Qi and blood would immediately churn, and there would be the danger of Qi deviation.
Since ancient times, those who could obtain the Art of Longevity were all capable people and experts. They would never have thought that the first condition to cultivate the Art of Longevity was to abolish all their true qi cultivation and then go the opposite way, starting from the innate true qi!
If it weren't for the main characters in the original novel, Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling, two hooligans who didn't know martial arts, who had mastered the Art of Longevity by chance, Song Yang wouldn't have known the secret.
As for Kuo Zhong and Xu Zhiling, they had only cultivated one of the seven diagrams of the Art of Longevity, but they had already become the enviable Xiantian experts. From then on, they stirred up the wind and clouds and grew into the top experts. If they cultivated all seven diagrams of the Art of Longevity, how powerful would they be...
"Although I can't obtain the War God Catalog at the moment, this Art of Longevity is enough to deal with the troubles brought by those high-level experts.”
Song Yang, who had obtained the Art of Longevity, was in a great mood. He couldn't wait to return to Linjiang Palace and study the Art of Longevity.
However, just as everyone thought that the Emperor was about to leave Yangzhou, Song Yang came to a steamed bun shop in the Southern Gate Market…
