Chapter 178: Retreat and gain enlightenment
"There is no need to seize the throne of Western Shu. It is already the heir apparent." Li Buwei said.

"Then what are you doing here, just to protect the Crown Prince of Shu?"

"I am a servant of the royal palace, and I am here to protect the crown prince."

"There's something wrong with your attitude." Wang Shen said, reaching for the knife behind his back.

"Hey, just keep talking. Why are you touching the knife?"

"I think some people's skin is itchy and the scars are healed and they forget the pain." Wang Shen said coldly.

"We are here to escort the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince has fallen in love with King Chu's daughter, but she is very annoyed with him. The Crown Prince of Chu is even more annoyed with him. He has even said that if he dares to come again, he will send someone to kill him. The King of Shu was worried about an accident, so he sent me here." Li Buwei said.

"Rich playboy?"

"You are not a dandy. The prince of Shu is naturally smart. Not only is he well-read, but he is also good at knowledge and good writing. He is also talented in spiritual practice. At a young age, he is already in the fifth-grade dragon and tiger realm. It won't take long. It’s the fourth-grade river-free realm.”

"From what you said, you seem to admire this Prince of Shu very much?"

"He is indeed very good, just follow me."

"What?" Wang Shen was stunned.

"No, like me." Li Buwei said hurriedly.

"Have you made any big moves recently?"

"As far as I know, not yet."

"Tell me about the situation of your Kunlun Mountain General Altar."

The last chat was relatively short, and Wang Shen didn't have time to ask in detail about the situation of "Tianxiang" at the Kunlun Mountain General Forum. Li Buwei told Wang Shen what he knew.

"There are nine chairs, and there is one person in charge almost every day. Does that mean that the nine people have a higher status than you?"

"Naturally, we obey their orders."

"Their cultivation levels are all higher than yours. There are nine second-grade people. There may even be a first-grade heavenly being among them?!" Wang Shen had a better understanding of the strength of this "Heavenly Descendant" organization.

The strength of this organization is shocking!
"Yes." Li Buwei nodded.

"Do you know their identities?"

"I don't know. Everyone's identity is kept secret and probably cannot be seen in the light. I think maybe only the sect leader knows." Li Buwei shook his head.

"They can't see the light, which means they may be people from the Wuwei Guan, Jinding Temple and other holy places of cultivation?" Wang Shen thought.

"Go back, I disturbed your rest."

"How should I contact you if something happens?" Li Buwei asked.

"There is an abandoned river temple outside this river city near the river. If you have something to do, please leave a letter at the feet of the river god. Someone will visit it regularly."

"Okay." Li Buwei nodded.

The two of them said goodbye. Li Buwei continued to go back to serve as his king of Shu.

The next day, Wang Shen and Qian Yishan said hello and left, returning to Yunfeng Mountain in Ninglong Mansion. He told the three people the latest news he had received.

"The Crown Prince of Shu?"

The three of them fell into deep thought after hearing this.

"Could it be that he wants to seize the throne of Xishu?" Fu Weixiu was the first to speak.

"But Emperor Shu has a son, and there is more than one. No matter what the turn, it will not be his turn to ascend the throne, unless they all die." Shen Jingsheng said.

"Besides, there is also a Shushan sect in Western Shu. The Shushan Sword Master has a very good relationship with the current Emperor of Western Shu. It is said that he became the emperor because of the support of his friend, the Sword Master.

With such a tyrannical person around, who dares to take his ideas? "

"Others may be afraid of Shushan, but Tiansheng may not. What they do is earth-shattering things." Wang Shen said.

"According to what Li Buwei said, there may be nine great monks in the Cave Observation Realm among the gods, and at least one of them must be a first-grade heavenly being."

"If these people were not famous before, it would be almost impossible, unless they were originally members of certain sects." Shen Jingsheng said.

"It's also possible that he was someone who faked his death. We might as well check out those monks in the Cave Observation Realm who died in the past few decades without any explanation." Wang Shen thought of the divine general who had been executed but was suddenly resurrected.

"This idea is feasible."

After communicating with these three seniors, Wang Shen said goodbye and left. Shen Jingsheng accompanied him down the mountain, and during the process of going down the mountain, they talked about cultivation again.

"Similarly, the Shenxuan realm is also divided into high and low levels, as well as upper and lower realms. The difference between high and low depends on the practitioner's understanding of the mysteries between heaven and earth.

And this process is not only in the realm of sage, but also in caves and even celestial beings. There are also strengths and weaknesses at the same level.

In fact, when you reach the Shenxuan realm, your cultivation relies more on the word "enlightenment" to see how high and deep your enlightenment is. "Shen Jingsheng combined his own practice experience and talked about his practice experience.

He also knew that his words might not be of much help to Wang Shen, because the cultivation level of his own disciple had already surpassed his.

"The realm of a first-grade heavenly being is high, and the understanding and understanding of mysteries and mysteries are also high. If you can understand your own unique way, that will be even more amazing." Shen Jingsheng said.

"My own way?" After hearing this, Wang Shen raised his head and looked into the distance.

"What, you thought of it?"

"I have some ideas." Wang Shen said truthfully.

"Tell me."

"Forget it, I'll tell you later and scare you." Wang Shen raised his finger and pointed at the world in front of him, then waved his hand.

He originally wanted to tell Shen Jingsheng what he had understood, but when he thought about it, it was just a rough idea, so he had better wait and talk.

"Yeah, okay." Shen Jingsheng was stunned and then smiled.

Wang Shen returned to his residence and continued to practice. After all, one's own strength is the most reliable.

He must slowly realize his own way. What he needs to focus on now is to find the "eye aperture" and then open it.

This is his current goal.

Once you have a goal, the next thing to do is to keep working hard in this direction.

Things are difficult. We have to carve out a new road on the original "wall". The direction of this road must be chosen correctly and the points must be accurately determined, otherwise big problems may easily occur.

As the days passed, and after countless failures, Wang Shen finally felt the slightest difference.

As the saying goes, "If you never forget, there will be an echo." This time it really echoed.

"Will it be here?"

Wang Shen decided to try it first. The method he tried was very simple but also very dangerous. He used his Qi to attack the "walls" of the meridians. This is equivalent to using your own spear to attack yourself.

He didn't think about getting through it all at once. He was also a little worried. If his guess was wrong, what else could be behind it?

So he planned to adopt a compromise method, which was to use his own Qi to drill a small hole in the "wall" of the meridians. In this way, even if something went wrong, it would not cause too much damage and there would be enough energy. opportunity to make amends.

Soon, Wang Shen encountered the second level.

How to use your own Qi to break through your own "wall".

The areas around the meridians are like a hard moat embankment, in which the true energy flows like water. It is not easy or impossible to destroy the embankment with water.

The monstrous flood can break through the river bank, just like he broke through the Jiaji Aperture for the first time. But this time it was different. He couldn't use a lot of Qi. What he was doing was carving patterns on tofu, which was a meticulous job.

What's more, his own meridians are much tougher than ordinary people, and after these years of practice, he has already adapted to his true energy.

The method Wang Shen thought of was to "take" one of the qi rays and spiral it towards a position, just like a spiral drill bit.

The rope cut off the wood, and the water dripped through the stone.

He felt that it was only a matter of time before he could get through through his own efforts. He spent a lot of effort, but he really left only a few traces on the meridians.

If I have to give an analogy, it's like using nails to drill a small hole in a three-foot-thick city wall.

As a result, he found that he encountered a new problem the next day. The small holes he made on the meridians with his own Qi finally disappeared.

Because of his own powerful self-healing ability, the small hole was repaired.

"Looks like I have to get through it all at once."

After some preparations, Wang Shen prepared to retreat and retreated in the "Mountain God Cave". This place is secluded enough and quiet enough.

As soon as the door closes, the retreat begins.

A wisp of Qi kept spinning in the meridians, and kept drilling towards the meridians on the side.

This process is actually very consuming.

It's like taking out a ray of water from a stream and controlling it to flow with your own thoughts. This process must continue for a long time.

Even for the current Wang Shen, this is a big challenge.

The sun was high in the sky outside, the north wind was blowing, a few birds were flying through the air, and the springs in the mountains were flowing quietly, and merged into the Qinghe River further away.

Before I knew it, the sun had set.

Traces appeared on the "walls" of the meridians.

The moon rises, the moonlight is cold, Wang Shen is still sitting there, a small hole has appeared on the meridian, and it is constantly moving deeper into it.

Boring, monotonous repetition, this was just the beginning. Gradually, Wang Shen entered a wonderful state.

He no longer cares about the other qi in his body, letting them flow through the meridians on their own. He is only responsible for this ray of qi, making it rotate continuously.

During this process, it will also be lost, and then a ray will be separated from the long river of true energy as a supplement.

One day passes, ten days pass
Wang Shen sat there quietly, like an old monk who had entered meditation.

The holes in the meridians are getting deeper and deeper.

The sun rises and sets. I don’t know how long it has passed. The first snow since the beginning of winter fell in the sky outside. The snow is not heavy, but it is scattered.

In the cave, Wang Shen heard a crisp sound coming from his body.

There was a crisp click, just like a chicken breaking out of its shell.

He felt that the ray of Qi suddenly penetrated and entered a cavity.

Wang Shen manipulated this ray of Qi to explore a circle in the cavity. This cavity was also a meridian. It was not long or wide, but it was slightly wider than the meridians outside.

He knew immediately that this was the place he was looking for.

"found it!"

He didn't have time to rest but let go of his Qi, letting them flow into it. Then Wang Shen opened his eyes.

"The second step is done!"

The next thing he has to do is to continuously open up this hole, completely open this "wall", and then the final step is to hit the eye.

Wang Shen felt very tired, mentally tired, but he did not dare to relax. He was worried that once he relaxed, the passage that was finally opened would close again.

So after taking a short rest, he continued to use Qi to continuously open up the holes that had been drilled.

On Yunfeng Mountain, three old guys gathered together and looked at the falling snow outside.

Gurgling, a small iron kettle on the campfire kept steaming.

"It's almost the New Year's Eve again!" Shen Jingsheng said.

One year passed and another year older.

Fu Weixiu is still the same as before, with prayer flags wrapped around his body. Zhong Kedao's research these days has yielded some results. His body can be relatively comfortable for half an hour every day and no longer feels like it is on fire.

"I haven't seen the sect master for a long time."

"He is in retreat." Shen Jingsheng said.

"Retreating, he wants to enter the second level?" Zhong Kedao said in surprise.

"I don't know what he wants to do. Maybe he wants to understand the mystery between heaven and earth, maybe he wants to find his own way."

"My own way?" Zhong Kedao and Fu Weixiu both fell silent upon hearing this statement.

These are distant but familiar words to them. They once wanted to find their own way, but in the end they took someone else's way.

"Hopefully he succeeds."

"He will succeed!" Shen Jingsheng said.

"Brother Zhong is known as a divination divination, but can he calculate his fate?" Shen Jingsheng said.

The three of them have become quite familiar with each other these days, and they talk more casually.

Zhong Kedao shook his head after hearing this.

"I don't know the date of birth, so I can't be sure, but just looking at the face, it's extraordinary." Zhong Kedao said truthfully.

"We three old guys seem to have pinned our hopes on a young man."

"We're not idle, are we?" Shen Jingsheng said with a smile.

The snow stopped after two days.

On the third day after the snow stopped, Wang Shen opened the door of the Mountain God Cave. The cold wind blew on his face, and he suddenly felt much more energetic.

He was a little tired and needed a rest.

There are many ways to rest, and the one he chose was very simple, stewing mutton in an iron pot with a pot of wine.

Eat well and have a good sleep.

When I woke up, the passage that had been widened to a certain extent was still there.

Then he continued to widen it, and finally widened the passage to the same width as the meridian. Next, it’s time to get through the orifice.

The method he chose was still "drilling" slowly.

The feeling this time is different from the last time. If the last time I had to break through a wall, this time I want to break through a copper wall and an iron wall, which is even tougher.

For safety reasons, Wang Shen made a special trip to Yunfeng Mountain to visit Zhong Kedao and Fu Weixiu and ask for their advice.

According to Shen Jingsheng, Zhong Kedao should have been a second-grade person.
