Chapter 395: Realm of No-Self
Failing to kill Zhu Yan and Chu Junshan directly, Hua Changxi was somewhat disappointed, especially with Zhu Yan. The black and white lotus lamp in his hand really made her feel a great threat.
However, after that battle, both Chu Junshan and Zhu Yan were seriously injured and had now fled to the depths of the egg chaotic space. In a short time, neither of them could counter-attack, which gave Hua Changxi time to practice.
Without delaying time, after adjusting her breath, Hua Changxi threw herself into the practice of "Law of Heaven and Earth."
"'Law of Heaven and Earth' is not a technique of illusion, but using the physical body as a vessel to induce resonance with heaven and earth, carrying the power of heaven and earth and the laws of heaven and earth..."
Hua Changxi read the practice method of "Law of Heaven and Earth" repeatedly. There were many obscure terms in it. Every time she read them, she would be glad in her heart.
She was glad that the body refining cultivation method she practiced was the "Nine Revolutions Profound Art." Both cultivation methods were based on the underlying logic of the physical body, so it was not too difficult for her to understand these contents.
After confirming that she understood every sentence in the practice method of "Law of Heaven and Earth," she started to practice.
The first step, resonance with heaven and earth.
The energy in the egg space poured into Hua Changxi's body like a hundred rivers returning to the sea.
Her skin glowed with a fiery red luster like magma, and her bones made a low roar, as if a mountain was growing.
At this moment, she felt that she was no longer a flesh-and-blood body, but a part of this egg chaotic space, and her "sense of existence" was expanding rapidly.
The physical body was swelling, divine sense was spreading, and she could clearly perceive that the boundary wall was beating, and the various energies in the space were surging and boiling.
The energy in the egg space was constantly pouring into her body, and at the same time, her breathing had also begun to resonate with this egg chaotic space at a mysterious frequency.
"Hoo~"
"Sigh~"
"Hoo~"
"Sigh~"
When her breathing frequency reached the same frequency as the beating of the boundary wall, Hua Changxi perceived that a power of enlightenment erupted in her body, and the energy in her body and the energy of the egg space intertwined and fused, indistinguishable from each other.
At this moment, Hua Changxi felt that she was this egg space.
The second step, soul merging with heaven and earth.
When Hua Changxi felt that she had transformed into the egg space, the chaotic energy in the space was induced by her, turning into a fiery red airflow visible to the naked eye, wrapping around her body.
Her hair danced wildly without wind, each strand seeming to turn into a tentacle connecting heaven and earth.
Divine sense spread like the wind, covering a thousand meters, ten thousand meters...
She "saw" Chu Junshan and Zhu Yan who had fled to the other side of the egg space, and "heard" the sound of the wind ringing in the depths of the chaos.
Her will became as free as the wind, filling the egg space. (The coverage range is positively correlated with the strength of divine sense.)
The third step, manifestation of the dharma image.
This was the most critical step, completely fusing with the absorbed power of heaven and earth and the laws of heaven and earth.
Practicing to this point, Hua Changxi got stuck!
The reason for getting stuck was that this step required her to open herself up completely without reservation.
Hua Changxi couldn't do this.
It was also at this moment that she clearly realized the defense and distrust buried deep in her heart. She didn't dare to hand herself over to the "outside world" without reservation.
Even if this egg chaotic space posed no threat to her, her heart still had to have reservations. She had to grab something to ensure her absolute safety.
She couldn't achieve absolute "no-self"!
The realm of no-self, for Hua Changxi, was committing suicide in disguise.
This discovery made Hua Changxi's heart shake. She seemed to know why her state of mind had never been able to improve.
Her self seemed too strong!
Although Hua Changxi got stuck in the last step, it didn't mean that her practice of the "Law of Heaven and Earth" divine ability failed. She could still partially fuse with the power of heaven and earth and the laws of heaven and earth.
It could only be said that this divine ability was not practiced perfectly and still had shortcomings.
When Hua Changxi tried to fuse with the egg space "with reservations," "Boom~," a majestic momentum that could not be described erupted with her as the center.
Her body did not swell falsely like an illusion, but was reshaped and filled by the power of heaven and earth on a real "law power
In the blink of an eye, a giant phantom a thousand zhang tall appeared in the egg-shaped space, standing between heaven and earth.
Because the divine ability was not fully executed, the giant's features were blurred, and it was only vaguely discernible that it was a woman.
The breath she exhaled turned into clouds and waves sweeping across a thousand miles; the slight movement of her feet caused the entire egg-shaped space to tremble faintly. Every gesture carried a portion of the weight and power of heaven and earth.
This was Hua Changxi's "Law Heaven Earth" manifestation!
Because there was only the Law of Fire in the egg-shaped space, Hua Changxi's manifestation was entirely fiery red.
However, maintaining the manifestation consumed a terrifying amount of energy.
Hua Changxi's body refinement had only just reached the seventh chapter of the "Nine Turns Profound Art," which was not enough to support the manifestation for too long.
She dared not covet this supreme power to control heaven and earth, so she kept her mind steady and decisively retracted the divine ability.
In an instant, the thousand-zhang manifestation receded like a tide, and the vast power returned to heaven and earth.
The space returned to chaos, and heaven and earth became desolate once more, as if everything had never happened.
But Chu Junshan and Zhu Yan, on the other side of the space, were terrified; Hua Changxi's strength was improving too quickly!
Chu Junshan looked at his severed leg, killing intent erupting in his eyes, and looked at the bloodless Zhu Yan not far away: "Hua Changxi will not let us leave alive. Now, it is either she dies, or we die."
Although Zhu Yan had luckily saved his life by relying on the solar flame and the fire-transformation divine ability, Hua Changxi's axe had directly shattered his dantian, which was equivalent to cutting off his path of cultivation.
Of course he wanted to kill Hua Changxi, but the problem was that they were simply no match for her.
Chu Junshan said with a gloomy face, gritting his teeth: "You and I will join forces one more time. Even if we die, we must drag Hua Changxi down to hell with us."
In order to seize Nanxiang City, the imperial family had planned for many years. If he could help the imperial family eliminate the Hall Master of Lingguang Hall, he could also win more time for the imperial family to lay out their plans, which would not be a waste of the imperial family's cultivation of him over these years.
Although the "Law Heaven Earth" divine ability was not perfectly cultivated, the feeling of the manifestation appearing still made Hua Changxi quite excited.
After the physical exhaustion recovered, Hua Changxi began to execute "Law Heaven Earth" again.
She could feel that if she could fully execute the divine ability, her manifestation could grow infinitely taller and larger.
But she knew in her heart that in a short time, she could not reach the realm of "No-Self."
Since the divine ability could not be fully executed, she could only practice it time and again, seeking to reach the point where she could execute it faster and more freely.
During this period, every time she executed "Law Heaven Earth," Hua Changxi would hold the fire axe and hack at the boundary wall of the egg-shaped space after the manifestation stabilized.
The egg-shaped space tested a cultivator's mastery of force and laws. Under the blessing of the divine ability, Hua Changxi's control over power and her manipulation of the Law of Fire were both rapidly improving.
At this time, every swing of Hua Changxi's axe could make the boundary wall tremble.
Feeling the growth of her power, Hua Changxi's understanding of "Proving the Dao through Force" became deeper and deeper. This was a Great Dao that could also be achieved by relying on physical strength and the ultimate control over the laws of heaven and earth, looking down upon all living beings.
"Hum~"
Just as Hua Changxi was swinging the fire axe with all her might, a vibration occurred deep in her sea of consciousness.
After Hua Changxi sensed it, her brows furrowed slightly. Then, with a thought, the "Zhu Que Army Roster," which was still vibrating constantly, appeared in her hand.
Looking at the vibrating "Zhu Que Army Roster," Hua Changxi was still puzzled, but when she flipped through the booklet, her expression changed suddenly.
On the "Zhu Que Army Roster," the names of nearly ten thousand Zhu Que soldiers were quietly dimming, and even worse, the names of nearly a thousand Zhu Que soldiers had already disappeared directly.
The disappearance of a name meant the person had died.
The fading of a name meant the person had been seriously injured; the more serious the injury, the fainter the name.
"How could the Zhu Que Army suffer such heavy casualties?!"
