“Who wouldn’t want that?”
Li Dingyuan’s eyes filled with longing. “If the Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong can truly be cultivated to completion, the significance of that would be immense.”
“This new Cultivation Method presents far too many new theories about the White Mist. As long as we can prove them effective, our research Progress will surpass everyone else’s. The entire World will have to chase after us from behind, and we may even establish a gap of more than three generations. It would practically be a Dimensional Strike.”
“Compared to whether the Cultivation Method can be cultivated to completion, verifying the new theories proposed in it is the most important purpose of this experiment!”
Among the crowd.
“Remember: calm your Mind and concentrate your Spirit. Your sitting posture, State of Mind, and attention are all important. You must constantly visualize Pure Yang in your mind, without relaxing in the slightest.”
“During Cultivation, if you feel any discomfort or feel that you cannot endure it, call out immediately.”
“I will immediately arrange for someone to provide Medical treatment.”
Kong Ji once again reminded him patiently.
The Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong was not merely a Cultivation Method to him, either.
If it could truly be cultivated to completion smoothly, it would prove far too many things.
Whether he could embark on the path of Cultivation, seek the Dao, and attain immortality in the future all depended on the success or failure of this first step!
“Don’t worry. I understand.”
Zhang Zhaoyang replied seriously, not daring to relax in the slightest.
After repeatedly confirming everything with the Medical team, Kong Ji finally asked, “Are you ready?”
Having already entered the outermost edge of the White Mist’s coverage, Zhang Zhaoyang slowly sat down cross-legged, nodded, and said nothing more.
“Good!”
“Let’s begin!”
At the command, Zhang Zhaoyang slowly closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, assumed the posture of Five Hearts Facing Heaven, and stopped moving entirely.
Kong Ji withdrew from the White Mist’s coverage and stared intently at Zhang Zhaoyang, observing him constantly and not daring to miss a single moment.
As Cultivation began.
The people watching from afar began whispering among themselves again.
“Strange. Why does he have to adopt this sitting posture? Does he not need external stimulation of the Acupoints?”
“I don’t understand. What Effect does this sitting posture have?”
Many people did not understand.
Only Kong Ji himself knew.
The greatest function of the Five Hearts Facing Heaven posture was to help a Cultivator quickly empty their distracting thoughts and gather their Spirit, allowing their body to enter a state of Cultivation rapidly and achieve better Induction of the White Mist.
As long as one could persist in this Cultivation posture, it could have a positive effect on the body even in an era without Spiritual Energy.
Moreover, he had tried it himself.
The more concentrated one’s Spirit was and the fewer distracting thoughts one had, the faster the absorption of the White Mist would become.
Even though Zhang Zhaoyang possessed extraordinary Talent, the Five Hearts Facing Heaven posture could still bring tremendous benefits.
Sure enough.
In just Ten Minutes.
An astonishing Picture appeared around Zhang Zhaoyang.
“It’s happening!”
“The White Mist is entering his body. It has begun!”
Someone exclaimed softly.
Kong Ji’s gaze sharpened.
Generally speaking, the White Mist could only be seen with the naked eye when it had just dispersed around the Black Hole. Beyond three meters, it could no longer be observed with the naked eye and could only be sensed through the body.
Yet at this moment, visible wisps of White Mist were slowly seeping into Zhang Zhaoyang’s body.
This phenomenon represented the Cultivating Techniques taking Effect. Zhang Zhaoyang’s body was absorbing the White Mist.
“It seems he has entered the proper state. He is operating the technique with all his strength. I just don’t know what Zhang Zhaoyang’s physical condition is like right now.”
Amid the surrounding White Mist.
Zhang Zhaoyang had already entered a state of absolute tranquility.
At first, he could still hear some sounds from outside, but now he could hear nothing at all. He could only feel a cool, comfortable sensation spreading throughout his entire body.
“It seems the first step works. The White Mist has begun entering his body. Next, he must visualize Pure Yang while concentrating his Spirit and imagining the White Mist flowing through his Meridians, passing through all three hundred and sixty Acupoints, and finally converging in the Dantian.”
Kong Ji’s instructions suddenly echoed in Zhang Zhaoyang’s mind.
He knew what he should do at this moment.
He immediately began imagining a massive Fireball suspended in the sky. The Picture he imagined was precisely the image of the Sun in the universe captured by a high-definition astronomical camera.
This was the most concrete manifestation of Pure Yang.
At the same time as visualizing it, he also had to divide his attention, sense the White Mist, and control its flow.
This state was not difficult for him. After practicing a few times, he had mastered it, and in his current peaceful state, it seemed even simpler.
Soon.
As the Visualization continued.
The White Mist inside his body seemed to be heated by the Sun, gradually giving off warmth, and even a scalding heat.
This scalding heat made Zhang Zhaoyang feel somewhat uncomfortable, but he knew it was likely a normal condition and continued to maintain it forcefully.
Outside, Kong Ji also noticed something unusual at that moment.
The Skin on Zhang Zhaoyang’s body gradually began turning red, as though it were being scorched by intense heat.
“What’s happening?”
“Zhaoyang’s Skin is very red. Should we have him stop?”
Li Dingyuan had already walked over and asked worriedly.
The rescue team responsible for the other side also turned their attention over.
“Not for now. It’s a normal phenomenon.”
Kong Ji shook his head. “I experienced this state when I first tried it as well. The White Mist is influenced by the Pure Yang Thought in the world visualized by the Spirit, so it brings the Cultivator a scorching, scalding sensation, making their body feel as though it is being hypnotized and roasted by high temperatures. Externally, this manifests as reddened Skin.”
“This hypnosis is actually illusory, but the Effect it produces is real.”
Li Dingyuan did not quite understand. “What do you mean?”
“Simply put, hypnosis causes the body’s Cells and Nerves to spontaneously change. In reality, however, if we touched Zhang Zhaoyang’s body now, it would at most feel slightly feverish, far less serious than it appears externally.”
“This is the Effect brought about by Visualization.”
Kong Ji explained, “As long as a Cultivator can persist in this state, it will ultimately bring enormous benefits.”
“Are you sure nothing will happen?”
Dong Dingguo also came over and could not help asking.
“Something will happen, and nothing will happen.”
Kong Ji nodded, then shook his head.
“Persisting will bring benefits, but failing to persist will definitely cause an accident. Although it is hypnosis, the body has genuinely reacted. It looks fine to outsiders, but to Zhang Zhaoyang, he is currently inside a furnace.”
“Then what should we do?”
Kong Ji said, “There is no Method. He can only persist!”
Seeing the worry on their faces, Kong Ji immediately continued, “However, there is no need to worry too much. I already explained everything to Zhang Zhaoyang. If there is a problem, he will call for help. Besides, reaching this state cannot be separated from the White Mist. If anything goes wrong, I will immediately pull him away and have him stop Cultivation.”
“The most important thing now is not to disturb him and let him slowly get through this hurdle.”
“Once he gets through this hurdle, he will reach the most difficult and arduous part of the Zhou Tian Chun Yang Gong.”
“Even I failed to cultivate this part back then, so I have no experience to offer. I can only make deductions based on the circumstances.”
“The next stage will truly be his greatest Test!”
