Chapter 217 The Great Shift of the Universe

Xin Zhen jumped onto the bed, lifted the quilt, took a careful look, and saw a mechanism. Xin Zhen stretched out his hand and the bed suddenly flipped over, and Xin Zhen fell in. Xin Zhen controlled his body in the air and stepped on the thick soft grass on the ground.

Xin Zhen walked along the winding corridor. He did not run, but moved forward very vigilantly to prevent Cheng Kun's sneak attack.

However, even if he walked forward carefully, the corridor was only a few dozen feet long and ended at the end. At the end of the corridor was an uneven stone wall without any gaps.

Xin Zhen took a quick look and saw no obvious mechanism, so he reached out and pressed the stone wall. He gathered his energy and felt the stone wall shaking slightly. He nodded slightly, and the stone door could be pushed in with just his divine power.

Xin Zhen took a deep breath and slowly exerted all his internal strength. Sure enough, a rumbling sound was heard and the stone door was slowly pushed open.

Xin Zhen slipped in and saw a long corridor in front of him, which went underground. Xin Zhen ran forward quickly and soon several forks in the road appeared in front of him. Xin Zhen stood at the fork in the road and waited for a while, then he heard someone cough lightly in front of him on the left.

Xin Zhen smiled and thought, it's you I've been waiting for.

Xin Zhen ran to the leftmost fork without hesitation. He kept running forward. The passage became narrower and narrower, and spiraled downward. At the end, it was only wide enough for one person to pass through. It was like a deep well.

At this time, Xin Zhen became very cautious. Although he was still running, he made sure his eyes and ears were at the most alert. Sure enough, a strong wind suddenly came down on his head, and Xin Zhen dodged it by diving forward. There was a loud noise, and it turned out that a huge rock had blocked the corridor.

At this time, Cheng Kun's proud voice came: "You little thief, don't blame me for burying you here today. Who told you to wade into this muddy water? You are quite strong, so I have to give you another stone to see if you can still push it away."

There was another loud bang, and another huge rock fell down.

Xin Zhen smiled slightly, turned around and walked deeper into the corridor. Not only did he not feel any resentment towards Cheng Kun, he was even grateful to Cheng Kun for showing him the way.

That’s right, Xin Zhen was going to look for the Great Shift of the Universe.

Xin Zhen had long been fascinated by the Great Shift of the Universe, but he had never had the chance before. Now that he had the chance this time, he naturally wanted to try it out to see if it was as magical as the legend said.

Although Xin Zhen knew that with his martial arts skills, there was basically no one in the world who could defeat him, and even if there were one or two people who could resist him, they were not his enemies, but as a martial artist, he was still somewhat curious about the secret manuals of magical skills.

After all, Qiankun Da Neng yi is said to be the comprehensive collection of all the martial arts in the world. Once it is mastered, there will be no more secrets to all the martial arts in the world. Isn't this just the force version of Dugu Jiu Jian?

Xin Zhen naturally knew how powerful the Dugu Nine Swords was. Since the Great Shift of the Universe was so magical, he naturally wanted to try it out.

It’s just that in the past he was unwilling to travel so far to the Western Regions to search for a martial art, but now that he is here today, he might as well take it.

As for whether he could not get out... he was still carrying the Sword of Heaven on his back, so the two big rocks blocking the corridor were nothing.

Xin Zhen went down inside and came to the end of the corridor, where there was a stone chamber filled with bows and arrows and weapons. Xin Zhen even saw a cylinder of gunpowder.

This is the entrance to the secret book of Great Shift of the Universe.

Xin Zhen remembered that in the original novel, Zhang Wuji and Xiao Zhao used gunpowder to blast the entrance of the secret passage loose before they found the entrance. Xin Zhen observed for a while, and suddenly struck a rock with his palm, causing a piece of the rock to fall off.

This is it.

Xin Zhen reached out and moved a few stones down, and a hole appeared. Xin Zhen crawled into the hole, and then after walking forty or fifty feet he encountered a stone door. Xin Zhen pushed it open, and the view in front of him suddenly became clear, and a natural stone cave appeared in front of Xin Zhen.

Xin Zhen shone the torch around and found two skeletons, a man and a woman. Xin Zhen smiled: I finally found it.

Xin Zhen walked up to the skeleton and saw a piece of sheepskin spread in front of the man's skeleton, but it was blank.

Xin Zhen smiled and said to the skeleton: "Master Yang, today I will learn your Great Shift of the Universe. Later I will go out and help you solve the problem of the continuation of the Ming Cult. It is not in vain that I have learned from you."

Then Xin Zhen used the sword to gently cut his finger and smeared the blood on it. As expected, words slowly appeared. The first line was "Mingjiao Holy Fire Heart Method: Great Shift of the Universe."

Xin Zhen carefully smeared the blood on them one by one, then wrote down the contents one by one. After checking them twice and finding no problems, he put the sheepskin back to its original place.

Xin Zhen sat cross-legged on the ground, went over the contents twice in his mind, and picked out the parts that didn't make sense, a total of nineteen.

Xin Zhen then tried the method of guiding qi and moving acupoints according to the instructions on the sheepskin, and he mastered the first level of the method effortlessly.

Then I looked at the second level of the mental method and practiced it according to the method. In just a moment, the true energy flowed through me and I felt warm air emanating from my ten fingers.

Xin Zhen nodded, thinking that he had been practicing the Pure Yang Wuji Gong for seven or eight years, and his practice speed was ten times faster than others. Accumulated at this rate, he had seventy or eighty years of practice, which was probably not much different from Zhang Sanfeng.

The reason why this mental method is difficult to practice and achieve, and one can easily go astray if not careful, is because the method of using strength is extremely complex and ingenious, but the practitioner does not have strong internal strength to match it.

It is like asking an eight or nine-year-old child to swing a hundred-pound chain hammer. The more delicate and mysterious the hammer technique is, the harder it is to control the flying hammer, and the more likely it is that he will get a bloody head and burst brains.

But if the one swinging the hammer is a strong man, then it is the right thing to do. In the past, people who practiced this method were forced to practice because of their limited internal strength, and ended up with more intentions than strengths.

All the former leaders of the Ming Cult understood the key to this, but since they were appointed as the leaders, they were all perseverant and unwilling to admit defeat. They believed in the saying "where there is a will, there is a way", and so they worked diligently and tried their best to practice. However, they did not know that human power is limited, and those who wanted to "conquer nature" often ended up in failure.

The reason why Zhang Wuji was able to achieve success in half a day, while many people who were much smarter and more skilled in martial arts than him were unable to achieve success after decades of hard training, was that the difference between them was that one had excess internal strength while the other lacked it.

It was also a coincidence that Zhang Wuji practiced the Nine Yang Divine Art first and then practiced the Great Shift of the Universe, which was a natural progression. If it were the other way around, it would have been difficult for him to practice even the first level of the Great Shift of the Universe.

The power accumulated from his Pure Yang Wuji Gong is comparable to that of others who have practiced for seventy or eighty years. This enormous force may not be much better than Zhang Wuji's Nine Yang Divine Art, but at least it is not less than Zhang Wuji's internal strength.
