Chapter 55 Feng Shui Burial Sutra

The Tibetan scriptures say: "Feng Shui is the mechanism of the operation of heaven and earth. A tomb is a hill, a mound, and earth, and a place to rest. Burial is to hide and to take advantage of the vitality. Therefore, Feng Shui burial is to manage the mechanism of heaven and earth, to find the place where the vitality is, and to nourish the body and spirit."

"The vital energy is the energy of the one element running. In the sky, it circulates through the six voids, and on the earth, it gives rise to all things. Without it, the energy in the sky would have no shape, and without it, the earth would have no form. Therefore, it is magnificent and permeates all things. It is everywhere and it is always running."

"So it is said: It existed before heaven and earth, and it has always existed after heaven and earth. Moreover, the vital energy is hidden in the earth, which cannot be seen by humans. Only by following the principles of the earth can one find out where it is. The burial can know where it is, so that the dead bones can rest there, and the hole made in the ground is regarded as a grave."

"In addition, the five qi originate from the earth and give birth to all things. The five qi are the qi of the five elements, which is another name for vital energy. One qi is divided into yin and yang, and analyzed into the five elements. Although it moves in the sky, it actually comes from the earth. When qi moves, all things come into being. When qi gathers, mountains and rivers merge. Therefore, spiritual energy is often fixed in the shape of mountains."

By the clear blue lake, beneath the towering ancient trees, on a soft and comfortable animal skin blanket, Li Zhibaoxiang, dressed in a Taoist robe, solemnly and carefully read the "Feng Shui Burial Sutra" given to him by Duan De.

Although this was not the first time that Li Zhi had read the contents of the sutra, his insights this time were particularly profound.

It seemed that the previous transformation not only made his body stronger, but also gave his soul a baptism.

After washing away the impurities in his soul, Li Zhi's understanding was greatly enhanced.

I now have a deep understanding of the scriptures that I could not understand before.

The Feng Shui Burial Sutra seems to be talking about the Feng Shui terrain of the place where the deceased is buried, but in fact it is more about how to find the vitality hidden in the earth through the corpses of the deceased.

That special vitality that living people cannot see.

The ultimate pursuit is not to rest in peace after death, but to revive the corpse through the nourishment of vitality.

The ultimate goal is to survive in death, not to enjoy withering after death.

The most precious thing in a tomb is not the burial objects of the dead, but the special vitality gathered from their uncorrupted corpses.

As angry as the mother of all things.

Li Zhi was full of admiration in his heart. Duan De was indeed a person who had practiced the Tibetan method. This method of collecting vitality from the dead was similar to the practice of the undertaker who buries himself alive underground.

All of this is for the purpose of absorbing the vitality that transcends the heaven and earth and is inherent in the world.

According to Li Zhi's understanding, that vitality might be the essence of longevity that could only be accumulated by the elixir of immortality, and ordinary cultivators could not touch its existence at all.

Even if one is a strong man at the level of a great emperor, he cannot directly accumulate the essence of immortality unless his cultivation reaches a certain level.

The Feng Shui Burial Sutra is indeed extraordinary.

From this aspect, it is comparable to or even surpasses ordinary scriptures of great emperors.

After Duan De left, Li Zhi originally planned to go directly to Taixuanmen to become a disciple.

However, after arriving at Taixuanmen, Li Zhi realized that there was still about a year before Taixuanmen opened its doors to accept disciples, which was a once-in-a-decade event.

After walking around in front of the mountain gate, Li Zhi returned to the quiet and peaceful lake.

With his small six-year-old body, he looked a little different among the young monks waiting to be accepted as disciples by Taixuan Sect.

Who knows, someone might have evil thoughts about him because of his fair and tender appearance.

In order to avoid trouble, Li Zhi did not gather in groups of three or five to discuss Taoism outside the mountain gate like those young monks who were waiting outside the mountain gate to be accepted as disciples by Taixuan Sect.

I have temporarily returned to the lakeside to settle down so that I can thoroughly digest the gains I have made in recent times.

After temporarily settling down by the big lake, Li Zhi studied the scriptures of "Xiantian Changsheng Gong" while researching and practicing those minor mysterious techniques.

Li Zhi took out all the skills and magical powers such as "Eternal Life Locking Body Technique", "Lightning Step", "Shadow Escape", "Celestial Fist", "Devouring Heaven and Eating Earth", "Xingyi Fist" and so on and conducted repeated research.

It seems that as my comprehension increases, the practice of those magical skills and secret techniques becomes easier.

After only three months of research, he had almost mastered those secret techniques to the point of proficiency. He could even practice the three kinds of demon magical powers directly without the assistance of human's minor mystical techniques.

Moreover, the "Eternal Life Locking Body Technique" has also been raised to a higher level, breaking through to the level that can lock the wheel sea.

Combined with the fourth level of "Eternal Life Locking Body Art" and the "Lightning Step" after entry, the power of Shadow Escape also increases linearly. After hiding in the shadows, without the transformed spiritual cultivation of the first level of Immortal Platform, ordinary spiritual consciousness can no longer detect him hiding in the shadows.

Moreover, the speed of the image created by the illusion far exceeds that of a cultivator at the same level, and is almost comparable to the speed of a cultivator at the Four Extremes Secret Realm.

As for the magical power of "swallowing the sky and eating the earth", Li Zhi integrated it into the "Heaven-stealing Secrets Breathing Method".

The efficiency of the Heaven Stealing Breathing Technique in inhaling and exhaling the essence of heaven and earth was greatly increased, so that he could increase several kilograms of divine power through daily practice of the breathing technique. Although a few kilograms of divine power was small, after accumulating over time, it could even allow his body to become a saint directly one day in the future.

How strong the power of saints is can be seen from their ability to destroy stars. It is not simply a few thousand or tens of thousands of pounds, but an astronomical unit. (Friends who are interested can use the Roche limit formula to calculate it.)
After the above-mentioned skills and supernatural powers have been upgraded to a certain level, they cannot be further upgraded within a short period of time.

The next step is the hard work.

After fixing the time for practicing his skills and supernatural powers into daily practice, Li Zhi had more time.

Afterwards, he focused on the experiment of Feng Shui Burial Scripture. It is impossible to fully understand the contents of the Scripture just by studying it.

When Li Zhi understood that the tomb was no longer the final resting place of the dead but a place for the living to cultivate themselves, his understanding of tombs was greatly elevated to a higher level.

However, according to the records in the scriptures, the vital energy is invisible to the living, only the dead can see it. For Li Zhi, it is impossible to directly locate the location of the vital energy through his naked eyes and spiritual consciousness.

But the dead have no intelligence and no soul, so how can they see that kind of vitality?

Li Zhi pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out how they got angry.

Could it be that the dead body attracted the living beings?
In order to verify the contents recorded in the scriptures, Li Zhi did not hesitate to dig dozens of tombs near Taixuan Gate, including those of monks and mortals.

But no life was found among those bones.

But Li Zhi believed that the scriptures given by Duan De were not fabricated, and there must be something in them that he had not yet understood.

As someone who has died once.

Li Zhi’s ideas are different from those of other cultivators.

In order to understand the source of vitality, he dug a hole in the ground near the lake and buried himself in it.

Lying in the mud, perhaps because the pit was very shallow, he did not feel much suffocation.

Afterwards, Li Zhi gradually emptied his mind and practiced the "Eternal Life Body Locking Technique" to the extreme, restraining all the vitality in his body, so that his body could simulate the state after death.

At the same time, I recalled the endless feeling of desolation I felt during my last moments under the earth.

Soon, Li Zhi, who was buried in the ground, seemed to have really turned into a corpse without any breath.

He tried his best to understand the Feng Shui Burial Sutra.

When the vitality in Li Zhi's body was restrained to the extreme, Li Zhi's mind entered into a special state of extinction first.

If there is no external interference, I am afraid that the fire of his soul will be extinguished directly in this state of extinction.

But before Li Zhi's body entered the state of nirvana, the "Innate Longevity Technique" suddenly started to operate on its own, and the faint sound of chanting was heard in his wheel sea.

At the same time, the "immortal tree" hidden in the Taoist temple on the giant island gradually emerged outside his body, took root and sprouted, then broke through the soil, and gradually grew into a "real" sapling.

As time passed, the sapling changed every day, and in just one month, it grew into a towering tree a hundred meters high.

It looks no different from the big trees by the lake.

However, the big tree that was transformed from this "immortal tree" is extremely powerful in absorbing the essence of heaven and earth.

Endless essence of heaven and earth was gathered from all directions by the branches and roots of the big tree, and then infused into Li Zhi's wheel sea.

During this process, the roots of the fairy tree began to spread out gradually, especially towards the bottom of the lake. It seemed that a different kind of vitality was attracting the roots of the "fairy tree" to extend there.

Moreover, the essence of heaven and earth gathered by the "immortal tree" seemed to be filled with a different kind of vitality, as if it was similar to the life essence stored in the source stone, and could be directly absorbed and refined by the cultivators.

Under the infusion of this overwhelming life essence, Li Zhi's life fountain began to extend madly onto the Wheel of Life.

Half a year later, the roots of the "immortal tree" seemed to have absorbed a very mysterious essence of heaven and earth from the lake, as if they had absorbed the mysterious yellow energy of heaven and earth, which is known as the mother energy of all things.

As the mysterious yellow essence was absorbed by the "immortal tree", it was infused into Li Zhi's life spring.

The Life Spring, which was originally only a hundred meters deep, began to rapidly descend. Soon, it was completely penetrated and touched the Wheel of Life.

The life spring, which was originally like a deep well, suddenly gushed out a silver-white essence of life the moment it touched the Wheel of Life. The spring eye exploded as if a volcano had erupted. The Sea of ​​Bitterness immediately set off huge waves, and then a huge volcanic island emerged from the sea, directly located in the Sea of ​​Bitterness, with an area as large as the center circle of a football field.

Inside the crater is a lake of life that occupies half of the area of ​​the volcanic island and is formed by the silvery-white essence of life.

That is the water of the fountain of life that exudes the rich essence of life.

A silver disk with six shallow marks can be vaguely seen at the bottom of the lake.

A deep enlightenment actually directly raised his cultivation to the peak level of Life Spring.

Moreover, a steady stream of Xuanhuang essence was attracted by the fairy tree, but it did not continue to merge into Li Zhi's life spring, but instead merged into the giant silver island.

The giant island also gradually transformed from silver to khaki, as if it had transformed into real earth.

Suddenly one day, the lake, which had been calm for who knows how long, suddenly exploded, directly awakening Li Zhi from the deepest level of enlightenment.
