Chapter 356

What is it?!

Li Yan felt a chill in his heart, his hair stood on end, his muscles tensed, and he looked around.

These movements came entirely from bloodline instinct.

It was as if something had been awakened from within his body.

It was like those ancient ancestors, hiding in caves, constantly feeling and guarding against threats from the darkness.

Subsequently, light and shadow swirled before his eyes.

Everything in the cave became clearly visible again.

Li Yan looked at the stone wall, and even the tiny cracks and dust continued to expand in his eyes.

Looking outside the cave, the Gangsha Qi rose, vaguely forming a giant dragon head, surging toward him.

All of this was like awakening an eye divine power.

With such a novel feeling, Li Yan became even more vigilant.

The first of the Five Precepts of the Cave God: Do not covet the five colors with your eyes.

He tried his best to calm his mind, tightened his horse stance, sank his Qi into his dantian, and treated everything before him as an illusion, turning a blind eye to it.

By this point, Li Yan had vaguely understood the secret of the Zhenwu Dragon Cave.

This special place can amplify a person's five senses, reaching a state close to divine power.

However, everything is just a reflection in a mirror or the moon in the water; as long as one leaves the Zhenwu Dragon Cave, or even if the Daoists above stop activating it, one will be knocked back to their original form.

If one cannot hold onto their original heart, it is mostly a waste of time.

Sure enough, various sounds came to his ears afterward.

Li Yan could hear the slightly terrified panting of Sha Sha Li Fei in the nearby cave, and even the thumping of his heart was clearly audible.

As for Wang Wang Daozong, he was relatively quiet.

The second precept: Ears must not covet the five sounds!

Li Yan resisted the urge to think about other things and forcibly collected his mind.

No wonder one must firmly adhere to the Five Precepts of the Cave God.

If one cannot adapt to these, how can one use these suddenly amplified five senses for martial arts comprehension?

Fortunately, he had already passed the Refining Heart Hall of Baotong Zen Temple, and his mental fortitude far exceeded that of ordinary people, so he quickly adapted to these changes.

Following this came countless scents rushing into his nasal cavity.

Li Yan himself had nose divine power, and this was simply amplified twofold. He just took a slight sniff and immediately smelled the scents of everyone in the entire cave.

Not only that, he also smelled the dragon-shaped patterns above.

Those things looked like they were just naturally formed sculptures, lifelike, but there was another mystery inside.

Different textures of jade and mineral veins seemed to form bones and flesh, and the five innate Gang Qi of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth flowed within them, spreading to the entire Zhenwu Dragon Cave.

At this, Li Yan was even more shocked.

This scene was simply seizing the creation of heaven and earth.

Could it really be an ancient giant dragon turned to stone?

Of course, he didn't dare to think too much at this moment.

With the amplification of the five senses, the heart was like an ape and the intention like a horse; wanting to guard the heart was much harder than usual.

Only by guarding the heart could one have insights.

The first to fail was Sha Sha Li Fei. Not to mention guarding the heart, the chaotic sensations rushing in almost made him vomit blood.

"Go to your grandfather!"

Sha Sha Li Fei cursed and immediately rolled out of the cave.

There was a clear look of disappointment on his face.

It seemed this Zhenwu Dragon Cave was not meant for him.

Soon, Wang Wang Daozong also crawled out with a grimace.

His cultivation of mind and nature was good, and he could endure other sensations, but finally, his body's perception was also amplified to the limit.

Itching, pain... even stepping on the ground, he could feel all kinds of unevenness, not to mention the various soreness in his body.

He was not good at fist and foot techniques, and he couldn't handle these sensations at all.

"Go to your grandfather!"

"Go to your grandfather!"

Angry curses came from behind.

It was Wuba, jumping around in the cave like a wild beast, looking at the four directions in terror, his hair already standing on end.

Although he was a human-demon, under Lu San's instructions, he already knew what to do. Each shout was to remind himself, so as not to be swallowed by wild nature and lose his reason.

Wang Wang Daozong was very smart; after seeing this, he understood the reason instantly and immediately whispered to Sha Sha Li Fei: "Let's go first, let Brother Lu San come in. I fear Wuba will have some insights."

As for Li Yan, they were not worried at all.

Because at this moment, Li Yan had already taken a horse stance, closed his eyes in contemplation, and was slowly gesturing with his fists and palms, clearly having begun to comprehend the Dao.

The two left the cave in a hurry.

The Five Dragon Palace Daoists guarding outside were not surprised.

They naturally knew the situation inside.

Even they found it difficult to adapt when they first entered, and needed to cultivate their minds and hold precepts time and time again before they could have any insights.

These outsiders, of course, couldn't hold on for long.

Wang Wang Daozong gave instructions, Lu San hurriedly ordered the little fox and Rat One and Rat Two, put down the demon gourd, and hurried into the cave.

Seeing Wuba in this state, Lu San hurriedly stood outside the cave, making chattering sounds in the upper language.

At this moment, Wuba's five senses were amplified and very sensitive. Although Lu San tried his best to lower his voice, it was still like a loud bell in his ears.

Gradually, Wuba also calmed down.

He lay on the ground in a strange posture, his legs bent, his muscles tensed, and his sharp fingernails digging into the ground, looking exactly like a wild beast preparing to pounce.

Strangely, Wuba closed his eyes at this moment.

His heart was thumping, and his muscles were bulging, in the same rhythm as his heartbeat, as if he had found something fun.

Seeing this, Lu San breathed a sigh of relief.

In this team, everyone's cultivation methods are different.

Wang Wang Daozong is an orthodox Daoist Mystic Sect member, Li Yan is mysterious and has long transcended common sense, and Lu San is like a shaman walking out of the wilderness.

As for Wuba, it is purely wild instinct.

Looking at the situation, he must have comprehended something.

Seeing that Wuba's situation was stable, Lu San looked at Li Yan again, confirmed that he was fine, and then found a cave to enter.

The astonishing amplification of the five senses also appeared.

Lu San usually seems silent, but he is cold by nature and often wanders in the wild, and his mental cultivation is no weaker than Wang Wang Daozong's.

The enhanced five senses did not make him lose his way.

Soon, Lu San also entered the state.

He also felt the abnormality of the dragon-shaped patterns above, but unlike others, the innate five-element earth vein Qi flowing inside seemed to turn into dragon roars in his ears, telling ancient stories.

Lu San tried his best to stabilize his mind, but unknowingly, he was still influenced by the dragon roars and always wanted to tilt his head to listen.

He forcibly concentrated his energy and, using his amplified five senses, practiced the imitation boxing he had learned since childhood.

However, the influence of the dragon roars never ceased.

Lu San's fist momentum also changed constantly.

His fist technique was to imitate the pouncing of various wild beasts between mountains and rivers. Although he had learned dragon-shaped boxing from that village guardian, he had always found it difficult to get started.

After all, a dragon is too illusory.

And now, his fist momentum had all turned into dragon-shaped boxing, his body moving, light as a dragon.

Sometimes soaring into the air to pounce with claws,

sometimes changing his footsteps, wandering on the ground.

Not only that, it also carried a trace of shamanic dance charm.

It seemed something had been touched. Inside the Zhenwu Dragon Cave, the Gangsha Qi became more intense, and the cave became hazy, shrouded in white mist.

This change was immediately noticed by others in the cave.

Some Five Dragon Palace disciples practicing felt stuffy in their chests, as if they had sunk into the deep sea, unable to breathe, and hurriedly interrupted their practice and left the cave in a sorry state.

Others persisted with difficulty, their pupils gradually losing focus, unconsciously practicing their fist techniques, clearly having gained some insights.

And Li Yan felt it even more clearly. At this moment, his five senses were amplified again, and he could feel the increasing pressure inside the Zhenwu Dragon Cave.

And the thick mist formed by the Gangsha Qi inside the Zhenwu Dragon Cave was also getting heavier, like a natural formation, smelting the people inside.

Finally, the remaining Five Dragon Palace disciples could no longer bear it, jumped out of their stone rooms in a sorry state, and ran toward the outside.

"Bad, the Zhenwu Dragon Cave has changed!"

"Quick, go notify the Master!"

However, when they rushed out of the cave, they were shocked.

They saw a crowd of people gathered outside the Zhenwu Hall.

At the five water wells, white mist and water vapor surged up, as if forming a tornado, roaring wildly.

The Five Dragon Sons, including Gu Yu Linzi, all had dull eyes, like walking corpses, coming to the side of the water wells, motionless.

"This... what happened?"

One of them couldn't help but ask.

!.

"Shh!"

Immediately, a Five Dragon Palace disciple signaled them to be quiet and then whispered with envy: "The Abbot said that Brother Gu and the others have reached their opportunity."

The disciples who came out hurriedly turned their heads to look.

Sure enough, the Five Dragon Palace Abbot, Master Yulongzi, had already appeared, standing on the steps outside the Zhenwu Hall, looking at the five disciples with a serious expression.

The scene before them was beyond the understanding of the Five Dragon Palace disciples, but seeing that the Abbot hadn't spoken, they didn't dare to ask more.

However, Sha Sha Li Fei couldn't care about this and hurriedly ran over, asking urgently: "Several Daoist priests, where are our companions, why..."

Before he could finish, Lu San and Wuba rushed out of the cave, covered in cold sweat, their muscles trembling all over.

They clearly couldn't continue to support themselves either.

Sha Sha Li Fei was anxious when he saw this, "Where is Brother Yan?"

"Don't worry."

Lu San took a deep breath and shook his head, "Brother Yan has found an opportunity and told us to leave first, saying the opportunity is once in a thousand years."

"That's good, that's good."

Sha Sha Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and then whispered: "What happened inside, it wouldn't be caused by you, would it?"

Lu San's face stiffened, and he shook his head slightly.

To be honest, he wasn't too sure either.

He felt it might have something to do with him, but as for what exactly happened, he was also confused.

Master Yulongzi, standing on the steps in the distance, moved his ears, heard their words, and looked toward the Hidden Immortal Rock thoughtfully.

…………

"Roar!"

Inside the Zhenwu Dragon Cave, it was now impossible to distinguish direction.

The rich Gangsha Qi surged, turning into boiling white mist, and the entire cave seemed to have turned into a pressure cooker.

This situation is usually called a place of great ominousness.

The Gangsha Qi was dense, even producing strange phenomena. In the nearly solid white mist, there seemed to be five invisible giant dragons surging wildly.

Swish!

A giant claw print suddenly appeared on the floor of the Dragon Cave.

And inside the stone cave, Li Yan was also covered in cold sweat.

At this moment, his five senses had been amplified to an astonishing degree, and he had naturally awakened long ago, realizing that this place was becoming more and more dangerous.

But at this moment, he noticed something unusual.

The Gangsha Qi inside the Zhenwu Dragon Cave looked crazy and violent, but it had traces to follow, moving according to the innate five-element Qi.

At this moment, Li Yan tightened his horse stance, his forehead was full of cold sweat, his muscles trembled, and strands of Gangsha Qi rushed into his body, only to be sprayed out from other directions.

Bang bang bang!

Explosive sounds constantly appeared on the surface of his body.

This is the reason he insisted on staying.

The astonishing five senses, the Gangsha Qi changing according to the five-element laws, and what else could be more suitable for practicing the Undying Seal Method?

The pressure of the Gangsha Qi was even fiercer than dark energy.

However, every time it entered Li Yan's body, it would be struck out again by his five-element momentum-borrowing method, with his fascia bulging.

Of course, practicing like this also has drawbacks.

The Gangsha Qi was almost pervasive, and his body soon suffered damage, not only with torn fascia but also serious internal injuries to his organs.

However, Li Yan didn't care, directly using the Great Luo Dharma Body to repair, and with his astonishing five senses, carefully experienced this change.

Unknowingly, the cracks in the Great Luo Dharma Body became more and more numerous.

However, Li Yan had already entered a wonderful state, and under this nearly crazy pressure, he continuously struck out the Gangsha power that invaded his body.

Bang bang bang!

The explosive sounds on the surface of his body had already merged into one.

In the end, after the Great Luo Dharma Body was repaired again, it actually persisted for a long time before new injuries appeared.

At this point, Li Yan finally comprehended the Undying Seal Method.

With the help of his astonishing five senses, he could clearly feel the various changes in his fascia, and his entire person's aura was perfectly integrated.

Finally, he began to move his body.

Whoosh~

When he was at Baotong Zen Temple, he had already comprehended "Fist Momentum," but now that he was performing it, it was different.

He struck out with a palm, and the surrounding Gangsha Qi surged accordingly.

Clatter!

Like a palm striking the air, the stone wall of the cave ahead actually collapsed with a bang!

"Gang Energy!"

Li Yan was stunned.

After Hua Jin, Qi gathers in the dantian, naturally formed, and the whole body's strength is integrated, which is Dan Jin, allowing for long-term combat.

And upon reaching Gang Energy, one can have Gang Qi protecting the body, and even perform mysterious skills like sword Gang and palm strikes in the air.

At this moment, he understood instantly.

It turns out the secret of Gang Energy is to use fist momentum and sword momentum, borrowing powerful spirit to control Gangsha Qi to attack!

Just then, a wild wind whistled in the cave.

The Gangsha Qi retreated rapidly, and the thick white mist it formed also dissipated quickly.

Li Yan hurriedly looked up, only to see the white mist rolling, as if being absorbed by the five dragon-shaped patterns on the top of the cave.

In the blink of an eye, the Zhenwu Dragon Cave turned into an ordinary cave.

It should be that the Daoists above stopped the religious service.

Li Yan couldn't care less, followed the feeling just now, gathered his fist momentum, stepped forward, and struck out with a punch toward the front.

Boom!

The force vibrated, and the momentum was extraordinary.

However, even the stone wall three steps away that was about to shatter remained motionless.

Li Yan laughed dumbly and put away his fist.

Sure enough, just now was equivalent to a temporary experience card.

The Zhenwu Dragon Cave closed, and he was immediately knocked back to his original form.

But the harvest from this trip was equally huge.

The Undying Seal Method was thoroughly practiced, and he had also gained some insight into Gang Energy; he had already seen the scenery on the road ahead, and only needed to move forward firmly.

Thinking of this, Li Yan was in a great mood and walked out of the cave quickly.

"Brother Yan, are you okay?"

Sha Sha Li Fei and the others hurriedly surrounded him.

Li Yan smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine. This Zhenwu Dragon Cave really lives up to its reputation!"

Wang Wang Daozong and the others breathed a sigh of relief and didn't ask any more questions.

Looking at Li Yan's appearance, he must have gained a lot.

Many Five Dragon Palace disciples looked at him as he came out, also showing surprise, but they didn't ask in detail, instead whispering to each other, looking at the Zhenwu Hall.

Li Yan frowned slightly and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"

"A strange thing happened."

Sha Sha Li Fei hurriedly recounted what he had just seen, "Those five Daoists, after waking up, were like different people, called away by the Abbot, not knowing what they were talking about..."

Lu San looked solemn and whispered: "After those people woke up, there was a sound on them, exactly the same as what I heard in the Zhenwu Dragon Cave!"
