Chapter 271: The Secret of the Golden Core
After returning to the quiet and secluded hall quarters of the Green Cliff Hall, Chen Yu did not rush to cultivate the three true inheritance techniques.
He first found a flat bluestone under the old locust tree in the center of the courtyard, its leaves mostly withered and yellow, and sat down cross-legged.
Autumn sunlight filtered through the sparse branches and leaves, casting dappled light and shadow. A slightly cool mountain breeze brushed past, stirring up a few dry leaves that spun in circles on the ground.
He closed his eyes and concentrated his spirit, gradually calming his thoughts. Only after the distant roar of the waterfall and the chirping of birds in the forest faded from his ears did he begin to recall, word by word, and ponder the contents recorded in those three true inheritance cultivation methods in his mind.
Just as Hong Changtian had said, even though they were only the Foundation Establishment chapters and had not yet truly touched upon the origin of the Great Dao, the content of these three techniques was already close to being heavenly scriptures.
He clearly recognized every single character in the books, but when they were combined in a specific order, the meaning they expressed became obscure and difficult to understand, filled with profound metaphors and abstract concepts.
It gave him a headache, somewhat akin to facing a pile of extremely complex alchemical formulas.
Even though Foundation Establishment cultivators possessed powerful spiritual sense and deduction abilities far surpassing ordinary people, cultivating for long periods would still cause waves of dizziness and mental fatigue.
Then he would have no choice but to stop, temporarily empty his mind, look up to appreciate the autumn scenery in the courtyard, watch the withered leaves drift down, listen to the murmuring flowing water, and smell the faint remnant fragrance of osmanthus in the air.
