An Ultimate Martial Art

"Three bodies and one body, it was me in the past, it is me now, it is me in the future. Three bodies and one body, it was not me in the past, it is not me now, it is me in the future!"    

    

Time flies, time flies.    

    

In a blink of an eye, a month had passed since Su Ye went into closed door cultivation.    

    

Su Ye spent a month seriously studying the Great Way of the Buddha, which originated from a monk with great power.    

    

His soul had truly developed a spirit that belonged solely to him, which meant that he already had an insight into the great Dao of heaven and earth. If this insight was expressed in words, Su Ye would even be able to write an article with at least five million words.    

    

This was their foundation.    

    

With his foundation built up, Su Ye once again recalled the "True Self Reflection Chapter", this secret mental cultivation method that originated from the Pu Tuo Temple. He even had a faint understanding of the so-called past, present, and future.    

    

As a result, Su Ye decisively stopped his study of the Great Way of the Buddha. The Gate of the Mystery now had a lot of knowledge, and it was not something that could be used for himself after one or two rounds of closed door cultivation, the most important thing right now was to raise his strength.    

    

Su Ye decided to strike the iron while it was hot and immediately practice "True Self Reflection" visualization technique to see if he could cultivate the Spirit Root the way Mo Xingtian had judged. With his current realm, once his Spirit Root was formed, he would definitely have a huge breakthrough in his strength.    

    

Su Ye started to cultivate, his consciousness going back to the world in his mind, and truly entered a state of absolute concentration, concentrating on comprehending the Gate of the Mystery in his mind.    

    

This was the first time Su Ye did not leave a trace of soul force outside his body. From the outside, he looked as though he had turned into a statue with a calm and serene expression, and even his breathing had stopped.    

    

Such a state was actually extremely dangerous. Any signs of trouble or even malicious intent intruding into his chamber would have an unfathomable impact on him. And because he had retracted all of his soul force, he was also completely unaware of the outside world, so he was definitely unable to deal with it either.    

    

As for the outsiders, they all thought that there was a immortal powerhouse staying on the Di Ye Peak, and as a result, among the people who dared to infiltrate the Di Ye Peak and destroy Su Ye's closed door cultivation, besides the immortal powerhouse, no one else would have the guts to do so. However, the immortal powerhouse would probably not be so shameless as to sneak in to ambush a Transcending Mortality Stage closed door cultivation.    

    

Overall, Su Ye was still safe, and it was also because of this that Su Ye had the courage to restrain his senses and focus on thinking about the Gate of the Mystery with all his might.    

    

Using one's own consciousness to entrust something to forcefully reverse one's self-knowledge, treating oneself as a visualization object, and even evolving further, completely transforming one's soul into the form one was entrusting and even going straight to the essence of something, this was extremely difficult.    

    

Especially for someone like Su Ye who had reached a certain level in terms of mental strength, and had formed a rather stubborn judgment towards his own self-knowledge, if he wanted to train in the "True Self Reflection Chapter", it would be no different from completely denying his own knowledge, which was even more difficult.    

    

A slight carelessness would result in a complete loss of self, a self-annihilation of all intellect. At that time, it would be a mindless zombie.    

    

Su Ye had studied the "True Self Reflection Chapter" to the point that he had completely understood it. He believed that his understanding of this secret art was no less than that of the experts of the Pu Tuo Temple, and only then did he dare to cultivate. Even so, he was still extremely careful and didn't dare to give up on himself. He was afraid that if he wasn't careful enough, he would collapse.    

    

In that mysterious state, Su Ye was like a vigilant assassin who was slowly approaching his target and released himself as if he was squeezing out toothpaste. Allowing the Gate of the Mystery's presence to permeate his opened self bit by bit.    

    

This was like a contest between two masses of Qi. What Su Ye needed to do was to allow the entire aura of the Gate of the Mystery to seep into his side so that he could completely evolve into the Gate of the Mystery, but his own spiritual consciousness could not be damaged in the slightest.    

    

slow    

    

slow    

    

Su Ye's self had already gradually opened up to almost a third of the way, and the Gate of the Mystery's aura had already seeped into his soul, forming a kind of strange evolution. The part that it permeated was faintly revealing a small number one Gate of the Mystery, but it was very illusory, very weak and very thin.    

    

Everything was gradually falling into place.    

    

Su Ye could not help but feel a tinge of happiness in his heart.    

    

No matter how strong Su Ye's will was or how much control he had, he would never be able to shake off his emotions like an iron ore.    

    

He saw that his goal had been achieved by almost a third. As long as he persevered and crossed the final step to attain the spiritual roots, he would truly be able to advance by leaps and bounds on the road of cultivation.    

    

even cultivating Divine Secret Realm quickly was not difficult at all.    

    

To others, the barrier that had allowed him to reach the ninth level of the Transcending Mortality Stage and to reach the Divine Secret Realm was indestructible, but to him, he was confident that it could be easily broken through.    

    

However, just when happiness was rising in his heart, Su Ye's heart suddenly jumped, he suddenly felt that the Gate of the Mystery in his mind had released a terrifying pressure, that was like a flood breaking through a dike, it rushed towards his soul with an imposing manner that could destroy rotten wood, and rushed straight in.    

    

"This is bad!"    

    

Su Ye was extremely shocked, his mind was racing, in that moment he felt a deep fear, he suddenly realised that he had made a fatal mistake, and it was because his heart was too big of a mistake.    

    

What is the true meaning of "True Self Reflection"?    

    

To put it bluntly, it was to find a reference object to entrust, visualize becoming oneself, and evolve into a soul. Only then can the difference between the true and the false be discerned from the evolution, the falsification of the real, the release of the real from the layers of stubborn false prejudices, like the sun rising from a bottomless abyss, high for nine days, and then reflecting back on the past, the present, and the future.    

    

However, there was a problem with this. The reference material could not be too weak. Otherwise, even if one succeeded in visualizing the information, it would be easy to distinguish it. It would not help to reveal one's true self. Even if it was displayed, it was most likely not the real me. It was still an imaginary "I".    

    

In theory, the stronger a reference object was, the better it was. The stronger it was in itself, the stronger it would be when it collided with the real world. In theory, the stronger it would be when it collided with the real world.    

    

Su Ye's initial goal was not to practice the true self, in his view, the profound meaning of "true self showing off" was not too big of a problem, but to rely on this technique to reveal the true self was still too difficult, the probability was so low that it was outrageous.    

    

What he really wanted was to use this to evolve his soul into a spiritual root. Therefore, the stronger the reference, the better it was. The stronger the reference, the stronger the spirit root.    

    

Thus, he was ambitious. From the very beginning, he wanted to find the most powerful and unique existence to evolve his spiritual roots, causing his soul to truly evolve into an unfathomable existence.    

    

So he chose the Gate of the Mystery who was strong and convenient to visualize.    

    

But he had forgotten the most important thing.    

    

The more powerful the object of reference, the better. In theory, to see a powerful object of reference, one must possess a terrifying soul in order to withstand the impact and evolution from the terrifying power of the object of reference.    

    

Therefore, the stronger the reference, the better it was for everyone. There was a limit, and that limit was the endurance of one's soul.    

    

Su Ye chose the Gate of the Mystery as the reference, but it had already far surpassed the limit that his soul could endure.    

    

In the beginning, he was as cautious as he was ever, gradually releasing his power, and the Gate of the Mystery's aura also permeated through bit by bit. As everything gradually entered a better state, Su Ye also relaxed his guard, and completely forgot about this hidden danger that surpassed his limits.    

    

It was only until the Gate of the Mystery suddenly released a huge pressure that he realized that it was already too late and that there was nothing he could do about it.    

    

Su Ye's self-control, willpower, and everything else were no different from a sand sculpture in front of this monstrous flood. They were all shattered in the blink of an eye.    

    

In that extremely short instant, Su Ye did not even have the time to wail in regret …    

    

His consciousness then completely sunk into darkness …    

    

In the world of his mind, the soul that was condensed into a ball suddenly shattered, transforming into a stream of soul energy that was sucked into the Gate of the Mystery.    

    

At the same time, a strange but terrifying, desolate, ancient, and grand aura burst forth from Su Ye's soulless body. It was accompanied by a profound sense of decay.    

    

Just a single thread of pressure had leaked out, and in an instant, it caused the hundred thousand people in Qing-Yun Sect to feel as if a huge mountain was pressing down on them, making them suffocate. They couldn't help but kneel on the ground, groveling and wailing, as all their wills were about to collapse.    

    

"How could this be?"    

    

Huangfu Changtian who was silently meditating on his long history suddenly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with shock straight at the Di Ye Peak.    

    

"It's Su Ye? "How could he release such a terrifying aura?" Huangfu Changtian forcefully endured his shock, but his body still continued to tremble uncontrollably.    

    

Just as Huangfu Changtian decided to go over the Di Ye Peak to have a look, there was a sudden clap of thunder in the sky. A golden bolt of lightning descended from the depths of the Ninth Heaven, directly striking down on the Di Ye Peak, and in that instant, the entire Yuzhou, the Southern Prefecture, the Central Region and even the faraway Extreme East Region, the Divine Continent which countless cultivators yearned for, heard a furious roar coming from the depths of the Ninth Heaven.
