Onmyoji, a nobleman in Heian-kyo

Page 1403

"If I'm not mistaken, this is because of forced cultivation. If you don't mind, would you mind following my instructions to guide the spiritual energy within your body?"

"...Does Your Excellency wish to impart your martial arts techniques?"

"It's not really a cultivation technique, just a very basic method of circulating qi," Kousaka Kyosuke explained with a smile.

Murong Ziying glanced at his pale-faced juniors and then bowed respectfully to Kosaka Kyosuke: "Then thank you very much, sir."

Kyosuke Kosaka shook his head: "Let's see if the method is suitable first."

Finally, we can see what the physical structure of cultivators in the Tang Kingdom is like. It should be quite different from their cultivation methods. They have to undergo tribulations of lightning every time they reach a major realm, which doesn't seem to be the case in the world of "Chinese Paladin"...

399. The physical constitution of cultivators / involving the God-King / the divine beings of Heaven

Peeping into someone else's physical condition is something that should not be done casually.

Although Kyosuke Kosaka believed that no one would find out, he did not want to be suspected, so he naturally acted as cautiously as possible.

"Relax your breathing, not by holding it, but by slowing it down. You can try to relax your body a bit..."

Kyosuke Kosaka patiently guided him.

Finally, she managed to get in touch with a man from the Qionghua School through some opportunity.

In that brief moment of contact, he immediately launched a covert investigation at lightning speed.

"Something's definitely strange. The spiritual energy within my body is circulating almost chaotically, but... it seems to be consciously 'defending' itself? Is it Nuwa's unactivated spiritual energy? Or something else?"

Kousaka Kyosuke was quite surprised and couldn't help but ponder the reason.

As a fellow cultivator, he was absolutely confident that his understanding of spiritual power was superior to that of most people.

Even compared to Taiqing, the head of the Qionghua Sect whom Su Chang had heard about from Han Lingsha, who was said to be an immortal who had already achieved immortality, Kosaka Kyosuke was still quite confident.

After all, his talent for cultivation is top-notch, something he had confirmed since he was a child.

As far as he knew, most of the "immortals" in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" were relatively weak in strength.

Perhaps it was different from what he knew, but upon discovering Murong Ziying's strength, he had no choice but to believe so.

Murong Ziying.

This person is no ordinary person. As one of the main characters in the story, his talent in cultivation is definitely top-notch, and his strength is not bad either. In fact, this is indeed the case, but in Kousaka Kyosuke's eyes, he is still not enough.

To be honest, if Kousaka Kyosuke returned to the Central Plains, he could easily subdue him with just a glance.

The overwhelming difference in strength and realm is no joke.

Even though Kyosuke Kosaka couldn't unleash most of his cultivator's power, he still had a keen eye and could easily judge a cultivator's approximate strength with just a glance.

"It's better now?! The spiritual energy is no longer out of control like before!"

"Me too! I feel so much better!"

"This feels so good, I thought I was about to die..."

One by one, handsome men and beautiful women who seemed unassuming on the surface were all making sounds of admiration.

These are the disciples of the Qionghua Sect.

"It seems that his true nature is only suppressed by the sect's rules. He will reveal his true colors as soon as something happens."

Kosaka Kyosuke glanced at Murong Ziying, whose face had turned ashen and who seemed to be holding back his emotions but was trying to speak, and found it amusing.

A kind-hearted person will always subconsciously consider the needs of others.

It's understandable that the Qionghua Sect disciples, who were previously half-dead, are excited to find their health has suddenly improved. It would be rather tactless to rebuke them.

This is probably what Murong Ziying was thinking.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Kyosuke. If it weren't for your help, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Seeing that his junior was gradually realizing his mistake and falling silent, Murong Ziying's expression improved, and he sincerely thanked Kosaka Kyosuke.

If it weren't for the fact that the younger members of the sect were being too noisy, he would have already spoken to Kousaka Kyosuke—it was precisely because he couldn't tolerate the sect members' rude behavior that he tried to stop them with his eyes.

"It's nothing," Kousaka Kyosuke shook his head and smiled. "I didn't expect the method I figured out would be so useful."

Having stayed for over a year, how could he possibly fail to solve the problem of rampant spiritual energy within a cultivator? At the very least, it's quite simple for someone to control their spiritual energy.

As long as you become familiar with the world rules in Japan, none of this will be a problem.

"If you would not mind, Mr. Kyosuke, please allow me to help out at this manor. My sect is renowned for its sword-making skills and has achieved considerable success in this field."

Murong Ziying got straight to the point about payment after only a couple of sentences.

Kousaka Kyosuke was taken aback for a moment, then immediately realized that Murong Ziying did not want to owe anyone a favor.

“Mr. Murong, you and your fellow disciples are all envoys of the Tang Kingdom, and as the local host, I have even been ordered to treat you well, so you don’t need to be too polite.”

"No, you're overthinking it. I just want to help out at this manor."

Murong Ziying maintained the posture of bowing.

So, it's still because I don't want to owe anyone a favor.

Kousaka Kyosuke thought to himself, "How arrogant is this? Or is it that he doesn't want his sect's reputation to be tarnished, so he wants to do this kind of work well?"

It seems there should be some in all of them.

After thinking it over quickly, Kousaka Kyosuke decided to give up and stop trying to persuade him.

Everyone has their own principles, and there's no need to deliberately break them.

In short, Kyosuke Kosaka was the one who took Murong Ziying on a tour, including many forbidden areas within the manor.

The so-called "forbidden zone" is actually a place designed to prevent the outflow of technology.

But such things are nothing to Murong Ziying, especially those related to casting; those would be child's play to him.

In truth, Murong Ziying's claim of having achieved considerable success was not merely empty talk.

The sect was able to create weapons that rivaled the power of immortals and gods, and even used the power of the weapons to pull the entire sect, which was connected to the land, into the sky and ascend to heaven!

This cannot be summed up by mere modesty.

If you casually slip a little casting knowledge into those craftsmen, you'll definitely make a profit.

Although the manor has some modern forging techniques, at a deeper level, such as the swords forged by Minamoto no Yorimitsu, it involves profound and mysterious esoteric knowledge.

Kyosuke Kosaka is quite knowledgeable about these things, but he's not a good teacher when it comes to educating people.

Therefore, it is definitely a good thing that Murong Ziying is willing to take the initiative to help, and may even give guidance to others.

"Lord Kyosuke, why can't those people from the Qionghua Sect get more sun exposure?"

On the way back, Su Chang asked Kosaka Kyosuke some questions she didn't quite understand.

Kyosuke Kosaka said, "This is just my guess. It's that the practitioners of the Qionghua Sect are rejected by heaven and earth in their own country, including by the sun, which has a strong repulsive force. They may not know it, but I have sensed something, though I can't confirm it specifically..."

Su Chang's curiosity intensified, as if she wanted to ask why again, but Kagura spoke first.

"When my brother Raikou was collecting information about Yamata no Orochi, I came across a secret story: the God-King Amaterasu transformed into the true sun, illuminating the world and beginning a new cycle of reincarnation..."

Kousaka Kyosuke nodded inwardly.

Yes, that's exactly it.

Amaterasu.

It is the main deity of Takamagahara.

Although she is not the creator goddess of Japan, she is the most influential guardian deity in Japan!

Countless years ago, before its divine nature was sealed, Yamata no Orochi corrupted the world with evil, shattering it into pieces.

Then, Amaterasu transformed all her divine power into the sun and fell into slumber, making the murky and broken world bright again.

Kyosuke Takamasaka couldn't help but admire this move.

After all, this is a god who keeps his word and absolutely loves humanity.

Of course, the gods that Amaterasu loves should also be limited to a certain range—for example, the people of Japan itself.

As for people from other countries, they were naturally ostracized.

Cultivators like those from the Qionghua Sect, who cultivate spiritual power, are exactly the kind of outsiders that Amaterasu, who has transformed into the sun, would most easily "discover".

Therefore, it's perfectly normal to be affected.

"So it's Lady Amaterasu?" After listening to Kagura's explanation, Su Chang clasped her hands together and looked at the sky with admiration.

Kagura said, "I think so. I feel that way whenever I'm exposed to sunlight."

"is it?"

Kyosuke Kousaka couldn't resist placing his hand on Kagura's forehead and stroking it.

It wasn't to check if Kagura had a fever, but rather to see if there were any changes in her body.

Yes, ever since Kagura's special supernatural abilities became more and more apparent, Kyosuke Kousaka began to suspect that Kagura's psychic abilities might not be so easily transferred by forbidden techniques.

As the female protagonist of "Onmyoji", Kyosuke Kousaka believes that Kagura's luck is very strong and her potential is unimaginable. It would not be surprising if she created a miracle.

Therefore, it is not impossible for the previously vanished spiritual power to return.

The power of summoning is a special power that can be used to attack Yamata no Orochi, and Kyosuke Kousaka doesn't think Yamata no Orochi would be indifferent to it.
