Incredible Insight: Cultivating Immortality at Eight, Astonishing Zhang Sanfeng

Chapter 23 –Phenomena Abound

Although Ning Changge was young, he possessed an extraordinary presence. As he stood on the elevated platform, a mere glance from his eyes caused many disciples to bow their heads in respect, not daring to meet his gaze.

There were hundreds of third-generation disciples in Wudang, and not all of them were direct disciples of the Seven Heroes of Wudang. In fact, the direct disciples of the Seven Heroes were the highest-ranking among the third-generation disciples. The rest of the third-generation disciples could only be considered named disciples. To put it simply, these disciples shared a communal training regimen and only occasionally received guidance. Most of the time, they had to wait for the second-generation disciples to teach them.

So, they treasured this monthly opportunity immensely. At this moment, the third-generation disciples sat with utmost seriousness, their ears perked, afraid of missing any details.

Ning Changge slowly settled onto the cushion.

He surveyed the third-generation disciples, whose eyes were filled with a thirst for knowledge. He couldn’t help but feel moved and sigh within himself.

The path to mastery was not an easy one, and martial arts were no different. If he hadn’t possessed exceptional insight, he wouldn’t be much different from these disciples.

With this in mind, he softly began, and his voice, enhanced by spiritual energy, echoed clearly in the ears of each disciple:

“Today, I will lecture on the Lesser Infinite Technique.”

The Lesser infinite Technique was the foundational technique for the Yin-Yang Infinite Technique, Wudang’s supreme martial art, and it was created by Ning Changge himself. It was the primary technique for third-generation disciples, and only the most outstanding among them would be taught the Yin-Yang Infinite Technique, making them the focus of the sect’s cultivation.

Hearing that Ning Changge was going to teach the Lesser infinite Technique, the disciples’ eyes brimmed with excitement. In martial arts, internal cultivation was the foundation. Strengthening one’s internal power made it easier to master other martial arts, resulting in greater strength.

Ning Changge continued, “The Lesser infinite Technique, though it’s named ‘Lesser’ actually elucidates Dao of Yin and Yang …  Yin and Yang exist everywhere, in water and fire, life and death, day and night …”

…

The truth was slowly explained, one by one. His words were very soft, but at the moment it was as if the words were coming out of a loud bell! Although the words were profound, Ning Changge’s explanation made them easy to understand. At first, most disciples wore expressions of confusion, but soon, some of them showed signs of enlightenment.

“So that’s how it is! It’s really like that!”

Those who had insights inched closer to understanding, their faces filled with excitement. They didn’t dare to speak out, fearing they might disturb the lecture.

This was only the beginning. As Ning Changge continued, he gradually entered a state of deep enlightenment. Teaching was a reciprocal process. Even though he was explaining martial arts, Ning Changge’s immortal path was built upon martial arts. As he taught, he experienced countless epiphanies, especially regarding the Dao of Yin and Yang. His eyes sparkled with enlightenment.

Unbeknownst to him, his spiritual energy began to gather, swirl, and started a whirlwind around him. His voice, infused with spiritual energy, began to resonate in a unique way. It had a captivating charm, and just hearing it was like entering the martial world Ning Changge had created. It was enough to enlighten anyone.

…

[You have lectured on martial arts to your fellow disciples. You drew insights from others, and gained enlightenment. You created the Spiritual Power Evolutionary Dao Technique!]

Then, something extraordinary happened. The disciples began to see various visions before their eyes. Ning Changge’s voice sounded like the voice of the Dao. It entered their ears and penetrated their minds. They saw the interplay of amalgam of water and fire, the transition between life and death, the sun rising and the moon setting, and the seamless switching between day and night. Countless symbols of Yin and Yang flashed before their eyes, making them fall into a stupor.

Yin and Yang became tangible before them.

Disciples began to comprehend.

“Yin and Yang, they exist in everything! This is the essence of the Lesser Infinite Technique. I understand!”

“Yin and Yang coexist and give birth to each other. I get it!”

“Junior Uncle Master is amazing! If I could listen to him talk about this every day, I would die without regrets!”

On the platform, disciples gazed at Ning Changge with admiration and fervor in their eyes. Suddenly, there was a buzz of excitement. The first disciple broke through and reached a higher level of cultivation.

“I’ve got it!” he exclaimed.

In the course of the lecture, more and more disciples broke through. Most of them advanced to a higher stage of cultivation, while a few even became innate martial artists.

At that moment, the martial arts field was on fire. Each breakthrough caused a burst of excitement. Initially, the crowd was surprised, but as it continued, they became numb to it.

With hundreds of disciples present, at least thirty percent of them had breakthroughs right there and few of them even reached the Innate realm. The number was simply staggering.

And this was just the beginning.

As the lecture continued, some disciples returned to their senses after experiencing the initial enlightenment brought about by Ning Changge’s teaching. They had entered a special state thanks to Ning Changge’s skill in teaching, but their own aptitude and comprehension were limited. They couldn’t sustain that state.

It could be said that the strength of the third generation of Wudang had increased by a notch!

When they emerged from it, they were shocked to find that, unbeknownst to them, white cranes as tall as humans had circled Ning Changge, flying around him as if acknowledging him as a celestial being.

The heavens above were awash with golden light, rendering Ning Changge, who was still lecturing with closed eyes, like an immortal descended to the mortal realm.

“You all have to see this!”

One disciple finally couldn’t contain his shock.

Below Ning Changge’s platform, they witnessed a miraculous sight. Within moments, grasses near Ning Changge had grown visibly, reaching the height of a person, dense and luxuriant. But this was only the beginning. The grass seemed to be sentient, gently passing through the cushion Ning Changge was sitting on and lifting it three meters off the ground, forming a ball of grass that was unexpectedly tough, supporting Ning Changge securely.

The disciples stared in amazement at this bewildering spectacle.

Ning Changge was just giving a lecture and had provoked all these incredulous phenomena. All these indicated one thing: “Our Junior Uncle Master is the reincarnation of a True Immortal!” they exclaimed in reverence, and many of them knelt down in devotion.
