Chapter 4 Invulnerable to Water and Fire, Life Cannot End

Ji Jingqiu’s eyes lit up.

The term “entering the level” is profound and complex.

He had checked it beforehand.

Federal Martial Arts is divided into Cultivation Technique, Combat Skills, and Visualization.

The three grades, from bottom to top, are: unranked, lower level, middle level, and upper level.

It is said that there are further classifications above the highest level, but I can’t find any information about them online.

Since Master Yang mentioned the word “entry-level,” it must mean more than just “not up to par.”

Even a middle-level vehicle is impossible.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t just say “entry-level”.

In summary, it is a low-level martial art!

He had checked online and found that some martial arts schools and clubs were openly selling instruction courses on inferior combat techniques, with prices starting at 100,000 Federal Credits!

However, Ji Jingqiu noticed that Master Yang did not mention the Visualization Method.

Of the three, combat skills are the cheapest, physical cultivation techniques cost more than twice as much, and as for visualization methods, he couldn’t find any relevant instruction courses at all.

“Thank you, Master Yang,” Ji Jingqiu said again. “I’d also like to learn more about Visualization Methods. Could you please enlighten me?”

“ Visualization Method …”

Yang Yan was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice,

“If you really want to learn Visualization Method, I can teach you once you get into True Seed Realm.”

Yang Yao’s expression changed, and her lips moved as if she wanted to say something.

Before he could even speak, Yang Yanyi’s warning gaze made him swallow his words and obediently lower his head.

“ True Seed?”

Yangyan nodded.

“The five realms of martial arts are Forging the Body, True Seed, Divine Travel, Shackles, and Heart Manifestation.”

“ Visualization Method is a spiritual practice. When Qi and blood are sufficient, the spirit will be vigorous. Therefore, most Martial Artists only begin to engage in spiritual practice after completing Forging the Body and entering the True Seed.”

“Starting tomorrow, Yang Yao will guide you in learning Pile Stance. If all goes well, you can complete Forging the Body and enter True Seed within a year.”

Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment, then said:

“I don’t understand martial arts, and I will follow Master Yang’s arrangements in everything. However, I would like to first understand the specific process of the Visualization Method’s Body Cultivator.”

Yang Yan remained silent, lost in thought.

He noticed that Ji Jingqiu seemed particularly persistent about the Visualization Method.

Yang Yan suddenly looked at Yang Yao Dao: “Go and inform Liu Zi and Wei’er, and bring those two over as well. Teaching one is teaching, and teaching a group is teaching too.”

Yang Yao accepted the order and left.

After Yang Yao left, Yang Yan held up two fingers:

“Before practicing the Visualization Method, there are usually two preliminary arrangements, which I will explain to you in detail later.”

Ji Jingqiu was shocked. There were still two prerequisites?

Wouldn’t that mean I skipped a grade?

Shortly after, Yang Yao led several martial arts students into the house.

The man who called himself Liu Xi was also there.

They all addressed Kagerou as Master with great respect, clearly indicating they were all True Disciple.

In addition, there were two teenagers, around the same age as Ji Jingqiu, following at the very back.

Kagerou gestured for the Discers to sit down and slowly began to speak:

“Perfect timing, you can all get to know each other. This is Zhang Xingshan, and this is Luo Xi.”

This young man’s name is Ji Jingqiu.

The three of them will be studying at the martial arts school. Although they won’t be my disciples, you should all refer to them as Junior Brother. Junior Sisters view it as such.

Everyone cast kind and curious glances at Ji Jingqiu.

They had already heard the details from Great Master Yang Yao.

They had learned about Zhang and Luo’s situation from Master beforehand; it was nothing more than an exchange of interests between Master and the relevant departments.

It’s a transaction, but more importantly, it’s a compromise.

But Ji Jingqiu is Ji Jingqiu Entrusted by Ms. Mei.

Ms. Mei is Master’s savior.

The relative importance is obvious.

After a brief introduction.

“I’ll show you the concept design of Yangyan Martial Arts School later, so you can have something to report back to your families.”

Yang Yan looked at Zhang Xingshan and Luo Xi, and instructed Dao:

“Furthermore, although I promised your elders, whether you can learn it or not depends on your own efforts. Remember not to slack off on ordinary days.”

Zhang and Luo respectfully returned the greeting:

“The students will definitely work hard.”

One was calm and the other aloof; both were quite good-looking, and at this moment they were both extremely respectful.

Occasionally, she would glance at Ji Jingqiu out of the corner of her eye, her gaze filled with curious inquiry.

They are able to be here because their elders paid a considerable price to allow them to learn the Visualization Method of the martial arts school from Old Master Yang.

Whose family is this?

Yangyan Martial Arts School recently gained fame, with their 【 Hungry Tiger Holding a Knife Diagram 】 attracting the most attention.

This is a top-tier visualization method that is among the best in the entire East 3 Huang Star!

Yang Yan nodded and began the teaching of Dao:

“Today we won’t talk about Pile Stance or Cultivation Technique; we’ll talk about Visualization Method.”

” The Visualization Method involves spiritual practice, and you should have started practicing it after you entered the True Seed.”

However, I have my own unique method to guide you ahead of time in spiritual practice.

“Today’s Federal Martial Arts divides martial arts scenes into exterior and interior shots.”

The inner landscape is the human body itself, the outer landscape is the universe and all things within it, and the bridge connecting the two is the Visualization Method.

“Without a Visualization Method to connect the inside and outside, no matter how strong the body is honed by physical cultivation techniques, it is nothing more than a prison for a Martial Artist, trapped in the four corners of the sky, unable to know the vastness beyond.”

“Spiritual practice is difficult; it’s hard to get started, and it’s even harder to master it!”

The first step can be summed up in four words: “Conquer your own mind.”

Master Yang turned on the projector in the room.

In an instant, strange postures appeared out of thin air, some sitting, some standing, some even forming strange hand seals, their eyes wide with anger…

In short, they are all kinds of strange and wonderful, but they give people a unique charm.

Ji Jingqiu felt that the face looked strangely familiar.

It seems very similar to yoga postures, Buddhist hand gestures, and Daoist mantras from a past life.

“Spiritual practice was already prevalent in the planetary era. Back then, our ancestors looked up to the heavens and down to the earth, imitating the workings of all things in the Universe, and created many postures, hand gestures, and mantras to subdue the mind and obtain peace and freedom on a spiritual level.”

“But such cultivation is destined to be a slow and gradual process, often taking several years or even more than ten years to see even the slightest sign.”

“Until ten thousand years ago, the Supreme Grandmaster saw all living beings in the world and saw the True Self. Finally, he combined ancient methods, innovated and created a new path for martial arts in the world.”

And this path is the Visualization Method.

” Master, which Supreme Grandmaster are you referring to in history?” Liu Xi raised his hand and couldn’t help but ask Dao.

Yangyan’s Deep Voice:

“Not one, but seven! The seven founding marshals who laid the foundation for the Federation ten thousand years ago!”

They are not only the founders of the Federation, but also the pioneers of modern martial arts, blazing trails through thorns and brambles!

Luo Xi, standing to the side, looked on with admiration, revealing a sense of shared glory:

Ji Tianxing, one of the six handsome men Marshal Ji was originally from our East 3 Huang Star!

At this point, everyone more or less revealed a sense of shared glory.

“Hero’s Former Residence”

This is the only label worthy of being called Dao on East 3 Huang Star, which has long since become a marginal planet.

Ji Jingqiu is well-versed in federal history.

They were talking about seven heroic figures who made unparalleled contributions at the beginning of the Federation’s establishment.

Without these seven individuals, there would be no Federation as we know it today.

As for why Master Yang mentioned seven founding marshals while Zhang Xingshan only referred to six, this involves a federal scandal that remains unresolved to this day.

On this side, Kagerou continued to introduce Dao:

“The first Realm of spiritual practice is called Entering Samadhi.”

What is Entering Samadhi?

“To put it bluntly, it means having a clear and empty mind, free from distractions.”

“It sounds simple, but it’s actually very difficult to do.”

The mind is as changeable as a monkey, and more untamed than a wild horse. To subdue one’s mind and keep it free of distracting thoughts requires extremely strong willpower.

Master Yang’s voice came through gently and meticulously.

Ji Jingqiu listened very attentively, not missing a single word.

Although Master Yang didn’t say it explicitly, today’s class was clearly held on short notice because of him.

“ After entering Samadhi, one can construct images in the inner landscape of the mind, imprinting the spirit and form of the visualization onto the mental level.”

At this point, the practice of the Visualization Method is considered to be on the right track.

“So your first goal is Entering Samadhi.”

“The sooner you enter Samadhi, the more beneficial it will be to your martial arts training!”

” Entering Samadhi has many benefits, such as making your mind more agile, your judgment more calm, and allowing you to freely enter a deep sleep.”

Deep sleep, also known as golden sleep, is two to three hours of which is enough to keep you energized for the whole day and accelerate your body’s recovery.

Take Pile Stance as an example. Modern Pile Stance has a powerful effect but can be very harmful to the body. If you can master Entering Samadhi and enter deep sleep, your recovery after training will far surpass that of others, and you will be able to develop your body’s potential more deeply.

Someone raised their hand and asked Dao, “Teacher, what comes after Entering Samadhi?”

Kagerou nodded: ” After Entering Samadhi comes Profound Meditation, Firm Samadhi, and Fetal Breath, but don’t be too ambitious. Entering Samadhi is the starting point of spiritual practice, but it is also the end point for many Martial Artists.”

“Teacher, what Realm are you now?”

This question immediately aroused everyone’s curiosity.

Especially Zhang Xingshan and Luo Xi.

At a recent martial arts competition, Yang Yan Old Curator personally killed two underground organization experts, demonstrating his strength and mental realm, which prompted the Public Security Bureau and the Security Bureau to try to recruit him.

“I am now at the Profound Meditation level, just one step away from Firm Samadhi. I just don’t know if Dao will ever have the chance to take that step in his lifetime.”

Yang Yan shook his head regretfully, then his eyes lit up with longing.

“If one can cultivate to the point of Firm Samadhi, one will be immune to water and fire, and one’s life will not end. Not only will one’s lifespan be greatly increased, but one will also be able to endure the suffering of the world. Even if one falls into a mountain of knives and a sea of ​​fire, and suffers all kinds of pain, one will not even flinch!”

Upon hearing this, Ji Jingqiu’s eyes lit up.
