Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 271 Warning

As night deepened, people were getting tired after several hours of revelry. Some, having drunk too much, went to their tents to sleep. The campfire grew smaller and smaller, preparing to drift off to sleep with everyone.

The bright moon hangs high in the sky, and the stars twinkle. A cool summer breeze blows on my body from time to time, but it can't dispel the lingering heat in my heart.

Han Kexin went to the wash area with Jiang Qingxue to wash up, while Qin Xiaochuan sat alone in front of the fire, his face beaming with happiness.

Guo Tianming walked up to Qin Xiaochuan and looked down at him, saying, "Kid, come with me."

Qin Xiaochuan was taken aback, not expecting Guo Tianming to come to him at this time. He felt a little nervous, but still stood up and followed him.

The canyon contains many independent layers of sandstone that have not been completely weathered, resembling stalagmites growing in the canyon. Moonlight shines on these stalagmites, leaving intertwined shadows.

Guo Tianming led Qin Xiaochuan around three stalagmites and walked for more than ten minutes before stopping in front of one of them. By then, the sounds near the camp had become faint.

The wind howled through the cracks on both sides of the canyon, then fell silent again.

"Kid, you should have already met Shiyi's master, right?" Guo Tianming crossed his arms behind his back, leaving Qin Xiaochuan with a tall and slender silhouette.

"I've seen him," Qin Xiaochuan replied earnestly.

"Then he must have taught you the Wudang meditation method as well?"

Guo Tianming's voice was calm and composed, revealing no emotion, so Qin Xiaochuan had no idea what he wanted and could only honestly answer the question: "I've taught him."

Tell me how you feel.

This is indeed a bit difficult to describe, after all, the feeling of entering meditation is too subtle, but Qin Xiaochuan still managed to grasp some special feelings before organizing his thoughts and saying, "The feeling is very subtle. When entering meditation, it feels like there is a small universe in my heart, directly communicating with the Dao of Heaven. Perhaps this is what the ancients called the state of oneness with Heaven and Man."

Guo Tianming nodded upon hearing this and said, "As expected of the reincarnation of the Blood Witch King, it seems you have quite a talent. Many people spend their entire lives without ever reaching the state of oneness with the heavens."

Qin Xiaochuan was taken aback, not because of Guo Tianming's praise, but because he didn't expect Han Kexin to have told him about his reincarnation as the Blood Witch King.

But this is good, because he won't have to hide any secrets from Guo Shiyi's family anymore. For someone as frank as him, keeping secrets is not a good job at all. If Han Kexin hadn't threatened him with death, he would have told Guo Shiyi about his background long ago.

"Now that you have reached the state of oneness with heaven and man, things will be much easier from here on out. Listen carefully, I will only say this once," Guo Tianming suddenly said with a serious expression.

Qin Xiaochuan naturally dared not be negligent and immediately listened attentively.

"Once you enter the state of oneness with heaven and earth, you can draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for your own use. Most people can only use this spiritual energy to improve their cultivation in meditation. This is a quiet and inactive way of cultivation. However, few people can draw upon the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in battle because this is an active way. It requires maintaining a pure heart in a dynamic environment at all times, which is a higher state."

Guo Tianming paused for a moment and then continued, "This kind of realm is very difficult to attain through cultivation, because the ultimate goal of cultivation is to achieve non-cultivation, that is, to be able to enter the state of oneness with heaven and man at any time in life or battle. Only by reaching the state of non-cultivation can one truly attain the Dao. Throughout history, the number of people who have reached this realm can be counted on one hand, and most of those who are fortunate enough to reach this realm do so through the transmission of the mind seal."

The author, Xiaoyao Yixiaosheng, is waiting for you with "The Revelation of the Way of Heaven".

"What is the transmission of the heart seal?" Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but ask curiously.

"This is an ineffable method; you can only experience it for yourself." As he spoke, Guo Tianming suddenly turned around, made a sword-finger gesture with his right hand, and pointed it directly at Qin Xiaochuan's forehead.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration burst forth in Qin Xiaochuan's mind, then expanded continuously, eventually transforming into a boundless universe. This universe was like a living organism, and in a daze, he seemed to hear the sound of the universe breathing. He was traveling in that universe, and the spiritual energy contained within it seemed to become clearly visible. If he wanted, he could absorb all of that spiritual energy into his body.

Qin Xiaochuan saw a blue planet appear in his line of sight, but the planet was too far away. Just as he was about to get closer, Guo Tianming suddenly withdrew his sword finger, and the image in his mind disappeared.

Although those scenes disappeared, he could feel that Guo Tianming had left something in his consciousness, or rather, opened a channel, so that he could reproduce those scenes whenever he wanted.

Qin Xiaochuan understood what everything that had just happened meant. This was probably what Guo Tianming meant by the transmission of the heart-to-heart connection. So he excitedly thanked Guo Tianming, saying, "Thank you for your guidance, Uncle. I..."

"You don't need to thank me." Guo Tianming interrupted him calmly. "Whether the transmission of the heart seal can succeed depends on the talent and foundation of the person being taught. The so-called wonderful method only helps those who are destined to receive it is the same principle."

"You helped Shiyi's mother, so this is me repaying your favor and a form of compensation. As for how much you can accept, that depends entirely on your own talent."

Compensation? Qin Xiaochuan was completely baffled; he didn't seem to have lost anything.

Before he could speak, Guo Tianming continued, "I called you over because there are two things. That was the first. As for the second..."

Guo Tianming paused for a moment, stared into Qin Xiaochuan's eyes, and slowly said, "I hope you stay away from Shiyi in the future."

"What?" Qin Xiaochuan looked at Guo Tianming in surprise. He hadn't dared to meet Guo Tianming's gaze before, but now he didn't back down at all. "Why?"

"Because the two of you are not a good match, if you care about her too, then don't provoke her," Guo Tianming said ruthlessly, leaving no room for negotiation.

Qin Xiaochuan clenched his fists. Although Guo Tianming's eyes subtly exuded a sense of pressure, he still firmly said, "It's impossible. I promised Shiyi that I would stay by her side no matter what."

"She doesn't need your protection." Guo Tianming seemed a little angry, and a powerful mental pressure was released from him. Even though Qin Xiaochuan had opened his mental space, he still felt a lot of pressure. "Although you have indeed done my family a favor, this concerns Shiyi's lifelong happiness. If you insist on going your own way, I will also use some special means."

After saying that, he walked straight towards the camp without waiting for Qin Xiaochuan's reaction.

After Guo Tianming's mental pressure dissipated, Qin Xiaochuan sat down on the ground somewhat dejectedly, feeling a strange pain in his heart. Guo Tianming's attitude just now had already explained everything. Even if Guo Shiyi's heart was with him, it was destined that the road ahead would be full of hardships.

He didn't understand why this was happening. Guo Shiyi had just agreed to be his girlfriend, and he had just begun to feel a little bit of happiness when he turned around and was doused with a bucket of cold water.

Fate seemed to be playing a cruel joke on him.

The wind howled through the cracks in the rocks, sounding as if it were mocking him.

"I will never give up no matter what." He slammed his fist heavily on the ground, his resolve hardening.
