Chapter 7: The Changes of Immortal Cultivation, Trial Opponents!
Kou Zhong's body stiffened instantly, and he stopped abruptly.
His eyes widened in shock as he looked at the black and gold regular script characters that appeared before him!
At that moment, his heart pounded faster!
Longchun Gong!
Then, his expression turned into one of extreme joy!
His eyes flashed with an unconcealed light!
Longchun Gong was not comparable to Changsheng Jue!
This was the first cultivation technique Han Tianzun encountered after entering the world of immortal cultivation!
It was a wood-attribute Qi Refinement stage technique!
Most importantly, it was a genuine immortal cultivation technique!
It was not a pseudo-immortal cultivation technique like Changsheng Jue, which had the side effect of being unable to have offspring!
Moreover, it was merely a simplified version of The War God's Record!
But Longchun Gong was different!
It had no side effects!
Thinking this, he couldn't wait to sit cross-legged.
He checked the techniques of Longchun Gong in his mind...
He began to cultivate according to the incantations within!
The spiritual energy around Kou Zhong seemed to answer the call and slowly gathered around him.
It wrapped around him like a light gauze!
He could feel those delicate particles of spiritual energy.
They traveled through his meridians and eventually converged into his dantian, like a trickle flowing into the ocean.
If Fu Jun Yu was here, she would surely be shocked!
Because the spiritual energy Kou Zhong attracted was much more potent than the time when he cultivated with Xu Ziling previously.
It was more intense!
It was purer!
Kou Zhong felt the flow of spiritual energy!
He knew that he, like Han Tianzun, had a wood-attribute spiritual root,
This spiritual root made him feel as comfortable as a fish in water while cultivating Longchun Gong.
Spiritual energy circulated within his body, forming a Greater Heavenly Cycle.
With every cycle, his cultivation advanced further, his body felt like it was reborn.
Every cell was happily devouring this gift from nature.
Until the fifth cycle of the Greater Heavenly Cycle!
Kou Zhong suddenly felt like countless needles were piercing his meridians!
The pain made him involuntarily stop cultivating!
He slowly retracted his cultivation.
Then, he felt a pain as if his meridians were being gently torn!
This feeling made him break out in a cold sweat.
If he hadn't had the foundation of Xiangjia Gong, he would have fainted long ago.
However!
Even in this pain, Kou Zhong could feel the fullness of spiritual energy in his dantian!
As well as the replaced Changsheng Jue true energy!
Changsheng Jue's true energy had been replaced by Longchun Gong's spiritual energy in his body!
This discovery made a wave of joy surge through his heart.
Although Longchun Gong was just beginning, one session of cultivation had made him feel incredibly comfortable!
Compared to Changsheng Jue, Longchun Gong brought him more than just an increase in cultivation!
It brought a sense of physical and mental pleasure!
During Changsheng Jue's cultivation, he always felt an indescribable oppression and discomfort!
But Longchun Gong was different!
It was easy and comfortable, like every step was taken on the right path.
Kou Zhong's eyes gleamed with bright light, and his face showed a joy he had never felt before!
Besides this, he also felt his body was much lighter than before, and his spirit had made great progress!
Now, if Kou Zhong were to stay awake for three or five days, it wouldn't be much of a problem.
Kou Zhong savored the completely different things in his body from before.
He remained motionless, and he could understand everything that happened within dozens of feet. This feeling of being able to control everything made him fascinated and reluctant to let go!
Immortal cultivation!
This is the power of immortal cultivation, not something that high-level martial arts techniques like Changsheng Jue can match!
Just as Kou Zhong had just grasped the wonders of Longchun Gong.
Xu Ziling, carrying a large fish hanging from a grass rope, walked towards him lightly in the silent night, his face illuminated by the moonlight!
When he reached Kou Zhong, excited light shone in his eyes.
He said loudly:
"Zhong Shao, look at the fish I caught in the river!"
The large fish shimmered in the moonlight, looking exceptionally plump.
Kou Zhong's gaze wandered over the fish, silently marvelling.
These were indeed much larger than the grass carp he had seen in his previous life.
A world filled with spiritual energy, even ordinary animals grow with more vitality.
Kou Zhong couldn't help but glance at the sky, then said:
"It's getting late, we should go back."
The moon was dim, casting shadows over the silent mountains, dappled shadows of trees, with the occasional chirping of night birds.
As soon as Kou Zhong finished speaking, he turned and headed towards the wooden house.
Xu Ziling followed closely, but his gaze was suddenly attracted by the unusual spiritual energy on the cliff.
Having begun to cultivate Changsheng Jue, he was now extremely sensitive to the presence of spiritual energy!
He frowned slightly and looked at Kou Zhong's back, a hint of doubt in his eyes.
Did Zhong Shao practice here just now?
Thinking about it, it could only be that!
Thinking this, Xu Ziling looked at Kou Zhong with a hint of admiration.
Unexpectedly, Zhong Shao was so diligent, while he was only concerned with playing around after his cultivation was successful.
No wonder Zhong Shao had such grand aspirations...
I can't let Zhong Shao get too far ahead of me!
Thinking of this, Xu Ziling quickened his pace, walking side-by-side with Kou Zhong, and said determinedly:
"Zhong Shao, I will definitely not hold you back!"
Kou Zhong turned to look, but he was a little confused.
He was thinking about whether or not to teach Longchun Gong in his mind to Xu Ziling.
After all, Changsheng Jue had side effects, and it was inferior to Longchun Gong in quality...
However, Xu Ziling's betrayal of brotherhood in the original story...
Although Kou Zhong was definitely not the same Kou Zhong from before.
But there was no guarantee that Xu Ziling wasn't!
So, let's just forget it for now...
He ultimately chose to keep it.
The two of them soon returned to the wooden house, building a fire to roast the fish.
Fu Jun Yu sat quietly by the side, watching the two busy men, a sense of warmth welled up in her heart.
She felt a moment of confusion, this kind of life seemed pretty good.
But soon she shook her head, took the grilled fish Kou Zhong handed over, and began to eat.
After dinner, Fu Jun Yu suddenly said:
"Tomorrow, you two have a trial to complete!"
"You both have entered the first stage of Changsheng Jue, but it is after all an internal skill."
"But you don't have any practical combat experience. I have already chosen opponents for you today."
