Chapter 128: Simplifying the Complex

But what is going on here is really beyond my ability to think!

My world began to recover. The first thing I felt was the cold raindrops hitting my face, followed by my master’s trembling hand. His condition was very critical, and he could break free from the world of thought at any time.

I squeezed my master’s arm to tell him that I was safe, and he probably felt my recovery of my soul and was a little surprised.

As the sun returned to its rightful place, most of the pressure had actually been taken by me. When my master’s hand finally calmed down, he finally took the step.

Kaiyang finally stepped over…

“When you are moving the world with your steps, you should rotate the world in your mind…” My voice was not loud, and I think only my master and I could hear it, but every word was clear. I believe that my master clearly heard it at this moment. Even if it was only subconsciously, if he listened to it, he should have done it.

What really surprised me was that I actually started to explain to my master the “correct way” to step in the Tai Chi. This was something that even my master had never explained to me before. My words didn’t feel like they were coming from me, because while I was speaking, I was also understanding…

It’s not that mysterious when you say it out loud. It’s just like the Wu Liyu lineage. The tall, thin man used Tai Chi to absorb the enormous force thrown by Xiao Laoba, and thus caught him.

What I explained is also a way to use the characteristics of Taoist Tai Chi itself to resolve enormous pressure. That is the most primitive – the circle!

The smooth flow of spiritual power can dissolve the pressure caused by the ordinary walking of the five elements, while the rotation of the world and the stars together can dissolve the enormous destructive power generated when the stars return to their places!

This is the true method of the heavenly and earthly steps, combining the most basic things with the most profound things, just like the simplest basic formulas that are used to solve the most complex problems! And it is the most practical and simplest solution, so even people who know a little about it will understand it at first hearing.

It turns out that it can be like this? The master’s eyes fell on my face, with a confused surprise… because this simple explanation is the highest understanding of Taoism. Simplifying the complex always requires a strong foundation, just as for all Taoist techniques, including the foundation of the foundation, and even a deep understanding of Taoist thought.

This is a realm that I can never reach.

Unfortunately, at the moment, I can’t explain it to my master. Even if I could, I wouldn’t be able to explain it to myself. Where did this understanding come from? After experiencing the “storm” just now, I feel that in addition to my unparalleled spiritual awareness, the most I have is an inexplicable calmness, as if I have seen through all the martial arts.

Other than that, I didn’t feel anything special, like my spiritual power becoming stronger or my skills becoming deeper.

After all, it is only the simplest way to solve the most complex things. It is simpler and more practical than my master’s secret technique of using the pressure of the universe to withstand the pressure of the universe. Therefore, my explanation to my master was only a few short sentences.

Among them, in the use of spiritual power, since it can be turned into a fine needle, allowing it to flow and rotate smoothly, it is naturally a simple matter… As for the rotation of the world of thought, it depends on one’s own thoughts, which is somewhat difficult. However, it is not too difficult for my master and I to achieve this. The only difficulty is to keep up with the speed of the planet’s rotation.

In fact, it is not necessary to keep up with its speed. A little rotation can dissipate a lot of power.

After the explanation, my soul power naturally began to flow smoothly. At that moment, I realized that theoretically, soul power can be divided into an infinite number of parts. When faced with pressure, dividing one’s soul power and rotating at the same time can infinitely minimize the pressure.

To achieve this, one must have a strong spiritual awareness to control it. Without a strong spiritual awareness, it is impossible to achieve “distraction and multi-tasking.”

This one again made me amazed and deeply understand. I naturally and rightfully, subconsciously opened my mouth and told the master. I even suspected that when I had the idea to explain, I was already explaining. I simply felt that I had split into two people, an unknown me, standing at a height that I looked up to.

Another step was taken, and my spiritual power was split into seven equal parts at that moment, beginning to rotate, naturally dissolving the pressure.

I really thought it was funny. I had been practicing Tai Chi since I was a child, but I never thought it could be used like this. I probably never dreamed that the understanding of the Dao and Tai Chi itself, which is contained in a martial art in reality, could actually be applied to the soul… We have long since obtained the treasure, but we don’t know it because we are complacent and think many things are complicated.

Fortunately, the foundation of my practice since childhood allowed me to quickly become proficient.

As for the master, he was much more skilled than I was. He was much more calm than I was when he took this step.

We finally saw the dawn of victory, but the reality was even worse… Wu Liyu’s junior sister fell, and her fire-starting technique was no match for the god’s easy-to-use wind and rain technique. Then, another person from Wu Liyu’s lineage fell. The thunderclouds had not yet formed, and they were scattered by the storm called by the god…

I must admit that this was the highest level of confrontation I have ever seen in the Five Elements Arts. I must also admit that the power of the god was far greater than everyone else present… They used all they had, even their lives, to delay the god’s pace and buy time for the next person to cast their spell, but it was easily resolved by the god, who fell one after another in a few steps.

Perhaps, sensing the pressure I and my master were putting on him by moving heaven and earth with our three-step-gong, the god didn’t seem interested in spending too much time killing those who had fallen. He wasn’t stupid. Any second of delay could change the entire battle. Or, he simply didn’t bother wasting time on the ants, who were not worth mentioning in his eyes…

At this moment, the god looked extraordinarily dashing, his clothes fluttering in the wind. As he walked, one enemy after another fell down helplessly. His expression seemed calm, but his pride and joy radiated from the core of his bones. Soon, after my master and I used the inexplicable method to take three more steps, he had already walked up to Wu Liyu, very close to us.

Facing the successive fall of his fellow brothers and sisters (should be, or relatives), Wu Liyu appeared to be unusually calm. Compared to the previous awkward appearance of struggling to maintain the door, Wu Liyu had now entered an inexplicable state, as if an old monk had entered a trance, no longer a realm that others could speculate on.

As if there was some sort of taboo about the door behind Wu Liyu, he had been walking very gracefully and calmly, but now he finally stopped.

“Get out of the way.” He glanced at me and my master, who were still moving the steps, and then his eyes fell on Wu Liyu, and he said these two words.

The last star is the star of light, but because the pressure of lighting the last star is extremely great, and it is also the most critical step, the basic steps required for this last star position are twice as many as before, that is to say, if six steps were required before, twelve basic steps are required at this star position.

Although it was much easier for me and my master to move the steps than before, the pressure was still there, and it took time to resolve it… Moreover, the methods and theories were simple to explain, but the skills required to instantly cut and rotate were also the result of years of practice.

My master and I are just getting started… we can only reduce the pressure to a level that we can bear, so we still need some time.

Did God calculate this? If Wu Liyu stepped aside, the last line of defense for my master and I would be gone!

“Do you think I will step aside?” Faced with the request of the god, Wu Liyu seemed to have heard the funniest thing, and answered very directly.

God had no more nonsense to say, and at that moment, he raised his hand, while Wu Liyu began to make hand gestures at the same time… As Wu Liyu made hand gestures, a force that was “thicker” than before, which appeared to have been compressed, slowly took shape at the door.

Behind the god, the waves of the river of fate began to roll, and countless water droplets floated up, condensed in the air above the river, and kept condensing and compressing.

“Go!” This time, Wu Liyu’s movements were even faster than the god’s, and it was obvious that he had been preparing to do this for a long time…

“Do you think that only you can summon the power of the origin? Humans are the most intelligent of all creatures, and the little bit of spirit in humans, the little bit of spirit that contains all kinds of power, is the advanced power of the origin in the natural order.” Facing the power that was about to reach him in an instant, the god said coldly, “That’s it.”

That trace of power collided with the god, not making any progress, but instead dissipating… It turned out that the water droplets that the god had drawn from the river of fate had turned into a curtain of water, completely blocking the god’s path.

At the same time, my master and I finally arrived at the position of the light.
