Incredible Insight: Cultivating Immortality at Eight, Astonishing Zhang Sanfeng

Chapter 3 - Yin-Yang Infinite Technique



This was a comprehensive martial world called Nine Provinces, and its depths were profound. It contained various martial characters he was familiar with from his previous life, but there were also differences. Just like three years ago, his master Zhang Sanfeng had appeared alongside Wang Chongyang and Huang Yaoshi, which was a clear indication of this.

In the world of Nine Provinces, several major dynasties coexisted.

The Great Qin Dynasty, with its ambitions of uniting the six states, stood prominently.

The Great Ming Dynasty, with generations of capable rulers, thrived and grew in strength.

The Great Sui Dynasty, despite some instability, still had a solid foundation.

The Great Song Dynasty, while relatively weaker, had many martial forces with chivalrous values, and their relationship with the imperial court was more harmonious compared to other dynasties.

The Mongol Empire dominated the grasslands, with an eagle-eyed gaze.

The Liyang Dynasty, North Li Dynasty, and many other dynasties were also formidable and shouldn’t be underestimated.

Furthermore, there were numerous smaller nations scattered throughout.

As for the martial world, it was even more chaotic, with strong individuals emerging continuously.

The World Alliance harbors ambitious dreams of domination. Moon Flower Palace, led by Yao Yue and Yao Xing, casts a formidable presence in the martial world. The Circular Moon Villa reveres Ding Peng as the God of Blades, and the Daoist Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang is celebrated as a living immortal. The fame of the Five Legends of the Great Song Dynasty continue to rise.

In the realm of swordsmanship, the stars shine brightly. Ximen Chuixue and Ye Gucheng are both exceptional swordsmen. Dugu Qiubai, the Great Song Sword Demon, travels the martial world seeking a worthy adversary, while the Great Qin Sword Saint, Gai Nie, appears and disappears mysteriously.

In short, countless characters familiar to Ning Changge from his past life were now appearing in the world of Nine Provinces, which often left him amazed.

“Master, I would like to begin martial training with you for the time being,” Ning Changge said. He had his own plans.

Since martial arts couldn’t grant immortality, he decided to use martial arts as a foundation and, with his extraordinary insight, pave his own path to immortality.

While others pursued martial arts, he would cultivate himself on the path of immortality.

Zhang Sanfeng gazed at Ning Changge for a moment and finally smiled, “Very well, as you wish.”

He understood Ning Changge’s intentions. Beginning martial training for now meant he wouldn’t focus on it later. The greatest teacher wasn’t one who led their disciples down their own path, but rather, one who guided them to find their own way.

From the moment he first saw Ning Changge, he knew that this disciple was not ordinary. Such a prodigy didn’t need rigid guidelines; he needed guidance and assistance.

He looked forward to the day Ning Changge would create his own path.

“I have one request, Master,” Ning Changge said.

“What is it?”

“I’d like to move to the second floor of the scripture chamber to live. It would make it easier for me to read.”

The scripture chamber was too far from his current residence, and the time it took to travel back and forth was too long, which was unbearable for Ning Changge.

He was determined to tread the path of immortality, which meant he needed to use the scriptures as his foundation. The world of Nine Provinces lacked the path of immortality, so even with his exceptional understanding, he couldn’t create it out of thin air.

“Very well, go ahead,” Zhang Sanfeng agreed. “Today, I will pass on one of my inner cultivation techniques to you, the Pure Yang Infinite Technique.”

Ning Changge listened attentively. “Thank you, Master!”

After hearing the oral instructions just once, Ning Changge seemed to have a profound understanding. Zhang Sanfeng was amazed.

“I know you have great ambitions,” Zhang Sanfeng continued. “From now on, you can freely access Wudang’s martial arts manuals. I hope you can achieve your goals.”

He looked at Ning Changge with indulgent eyes. Ning Changge was a disciple he had taken in at nearly a hundred years old, and with his exceptional talent, he received special treatment that the other disciples didn’t enjoy.

Ning Changge was immensely grateful. Zhang Sanfeng had saved him and brought him to Wudang, and now he was being treated so well. He could only repay this kindness in the future.

“Thank you, Master!” Ning Changge bowed sincerely.

After that day, Ning Changge moved into the scripture chamber at Wudang.

At the age of three, he began to read the martial scriptures.

Wudang’s martial scriptures were vast, with thousands of volumes. Ning Changge needed to find a glimmer of enlightenment in them and, with his extraordinary insight, forge his own path.

However, his decision puzzled the Seven Heroes (of Wudang).

These senior brothers had all been fond of Ning Changge and had high hopes for him. They had expected him to excel in martial arts and become the face of Wudang. They couldn’t understand why Ning Changge had chosen this path.

Song Yuanqiao and the others took turns trying to persuade him. They thought that since Ning Changge was only three years old, his determination might not be firm, and with some coaxing, they could bring him back to the right path.

But they were wrong.

Ning Changge’s will was unshakable.

No matter how much Song Yuanqiao and Zhang Cuishan, among others, tried to persuade him, he politely declined with a smile and continued studying the scriptures day by day, trying to grasp strands of enlightenment.

If he hadn’t also been practicing martial arts, he wouldn’t have agreed to their suggestions at all.

Even so, the senior brothers couldn’t help but feel frustrated. They believed that Ning Changge was wasting his talents. They hoped that one day he would return to the path of martial arts.

But for now, they let him be.

They thought that if Ning Changge’s current path didn’t lead him to success, he could always focus on martial arts later.

Ning Changge wasn’t bothered by their opinions.

After three years of living together, he knew that his senior brothers cared about him. He enjoyed this feeling because he had been alone and helpless in his previous life. Now he had a master and senior brothers who cared for him. What more could he ask for?

Inside the scripture chamber, Ning Changge silently practiced Wudang’s foundational technique, the Pure Yang Infinite Technique. This technique was a combination of one-third of Zhang Sanfeng’s Nine Yang Divine Art and his own creations. If revealed to the world, it would cause a sensation in the martial world.

He aimed to tread the path of immortality, and to do so, he needed to refine his body using the power of heaven and earth. This was different from martial arts, where power came from the body’s essence and circulated through the meridians and dantian.

In his vision, the path of immortality involved harnessing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to enhance his own being, which was distinct from martial arts. Therefore, he chose to practice martial arts first.

Now, the Pure Yang internal energy was circulating within his meridians, and Ning Changge had already entered the Postnatal realm in a short time. Martial arts had different levels: Postnatal, Innate, Master, Grandmaster, Transcendent, and Land Immortal.

In just a short time, he had broken through to the early Postnatal realm, a testament to Ning Changge’s extraordinary talent.

[You have meditated on the Pure Yang Infinite Technique for several months, studied dozens of medical and martial arts scriptures, and understood the intricacies of the human body, meridians, and the principles of yin and yang. You have created an unparalleled technique: Yin-Yang Infinite Technique!]

Ning Changge’s eyes lit up with joy. In his meridians, the originally pure yang energy suddenly transformed, emanating a gentle force.

Following this change, the originally pure yang energy merged with the newly formed yin and yang energy, creating an even more profound Yin-Yang internal energy (also qi).

“The original Pure Yang Infinite Technique cultivated an extremely strong yang energy, but it was too rigid. Now, with this Yin-Yang internal energy, the combination of yin and yang not only enhances its strength but also adds a sense of gentleness and flexibility. It’s marvelous!” Ning Changge couldn’t help but smile.

The Yin-Yang Infinite Technique was the most powerful martial art he had created in these three years. Previously, his creations had mostly been external techniques and skills, but this was the first time he had created such a powerful internal technique, giving him a strong sense of accomplishment.

“This Yin-Yang Infinite Technique will give me a deeper understanding of the path of immortality. In time, I will achieve immortality!” Ning Changge’s confidence in himself grew. His exceptional understanding provided him with a strong foundation.

Opening his eyes, he looked out of the window and smiled, “Seventh Senior Brother, are you hiding again, trying to scare your junior brother?”
