The Against Heaven

Chapter 29: The Secret Manual of Heaven's Will(2)

The Eternal Solar Physique was one of the twelve Immortal Physiques, no one in this world could be born with an Immortal Physique. The Solar Immortal Physique of Immortal Emperor Min Ren came from the Immortal Physique Manual that was currently in Li Han Tian's hands.

Li Han Tian knew that the Physique Scripture was wanted by everyone, so he hid it. He was also afraid that he would lose it one day. He had to find a way to preserve it since his memories of it would be erased so that the Demon Heaven Cave would not obtain it.

In preparation for the day, he hid the mysterious truth of the Physique Scripture in the martial arts manuals that were looked down upon by all cultivators. He separated it into three parts, hiding it in three different types of martial arts manuals, encompassing a hundred and twenty manuals containing ten thousand different techniques.

Li Han Tian used a secret way that only he knew about hiding it inside the manual, so even if someone knew where it was, they would not be able to put it together.

At that time, he separated the three types of martial arts into three different epochs, so that they had no relation to each other.

During these three eras, he mass-produced and separated them everywhere throughout the Nine Worlds, not just the Mortal Emperor World. There are at least a hundred thousand duplicates in each world.

With the help of other Immortal Emperors and Alchemy Gods, even though he erased his memories of the technique, the order of these martial arts manuals remained. From the past until now, no cultivator had read all one hundred and twenty manuals.

Li Han Tian deliberately left all one hundred and twenty manuals in the Heaven Ancient Sect, so if a disciple could figure out this secret, he would be able to develop an Immortal Physique. Maybe then, the sect would have another Immortal Emperor or at least, a Virtuous Paragon with an Immortal Physique.

Unfortunately, no one would look at this manual, let alone take the time to research it. This was why after Immortal Emperor Min Ren, there was no second person with an Immortal Physique.

Li Han Tian spent the entire night copying the Physique Scripture from the manual. After reading what he wrote, Li Han Tian you can't help but smile in satisfaction. As he read every word, his lost memories of the Holy Scriptures slowly surfaced in his mind. Finally, the entire Holy Scriptures were finished.

After recalling everything, he burned his written copy. He knew the value of the Eternal Physique Manual. If one knew that he had it, there would be a calamity to be borne. He could only hide it in his head.

The truth was that the original Physique Scripture had been hidden by Li Han Tian, and no one else in the world knew where it was. However, Li Han Tian was in no hurry to obtain it since the Scriptures were also related to other secrets; they were not just cultivation techniques. Afterwards, Li Han Tian rested for a while before morning. Nan Huairen had come early to the peak to meet Li Han Tian.

“Senior, I'm afraid I can't go with you to the Armory today. The Elders told me to go report the marriage-related events with the Sect Master, I must leave this sect.” Nan Huairen said.

Nan Huairen was valued by the Elders for his intelligence, so he was given an important mission.

“Go, I'm in no hurry to get a weapon.” Li Han Tian slightly nodded, he wanted to use this time to reorganize the techniques and methods in his mind.

After Nan Huairen left, Li Han Tian did not continue his sleep. He took out the Kun Peng's Small Sixth Form manual. It was highly respected by third generation disciples because it was still part of the Emperor merit law.

Every Immortal Emperor had always created formidable merit laws. Some were longevity cultivation methods that could increase one's life span and blood energy. Others were Fate Palace techniques meant for attacking and defensive potential. Lastly are the various ways to strengthen one's Physique. These three were common types of merit laws made by Immortal Emperors, they also included the Secret Law of Heaven's Will.

In his life, Immortal Emperor Min Ren had found many different Emperor manuals, and Li Han Tian was familiar with them, after all he participated in the formation of these manuals.

During his last hibernation, his memories were erased by the Black Dragon King of Heaven Protective City, but he was still able to get them back.

Sixth Form Small Kun Peng is part of Emperor Service Law “Six Variants of Kun Peng”. It was the strongest Fate Palace Merit Law created by Immortal Emperor Min Ren.

Currently, Li Han Tian did not have access to the high-level Emperor merit laws in the Heaven Ancient Sect, so he did not know whether the Six Variants Kun Peng Merit Laws were still there or not. However, he could use the sixth form minor to regain his old memories of the actual Six Variants.

Li Han Tian, in the past, had brought Immortal Emperor Min Ren to watch Kun Peng from afar. Min Ren's observations eventually turned into six basic moves, and they were used to create the Emperor's famous Destiny Law with the Six Variants of Kun Peng.

Six actions slowly appeared on Li Han Tian's head. Sometimes it was an eagle flying across the nine horizons where a flap of its wings would carry it three thousand miles. Another was a swift descent into the ground with enough strength to break through the layers of hell. The third was in the depths of the sea; it turned into a giant Kun, and its heavy tail caused an endless tsunami. [1]

Sometimes it was an eagle; sometimes Kun. The transformation became faster and faster to the point that one could not tell whether it was an eagle or a Kun. Kun becomes an eagle and ascends to heaven; stumbles upon the great truth. Kun and Peng were always changing like the rotation of the sun and moon, as if they were one with the primordial order of heaven and earth.

“Bang!” A loud voice rang out in the room, and Li Han Tian initiated the power of the Kun Peng. In the blink of an eye, Li Han Tian's entire body jolted, and the giant Kun Peng that was thousands of miles tall suddenly disappeared. The heavy tornado and tsunami that accompanied the beast also subsided. These images slowly became strands of consciousness, slowly converging into one great truth. What emerged from this grand truth was a symbol of the erased memories that were now returning to Li Han Tian's mind.

In the end, when the eagle was no longer an eagle, and Kun was no longer a Kun, only one mysterious truth remained. A complete Kun Peng had been formed, and the Six Variants of Kun Peng, flawlessly, had appeared in Li Han Tian's mind.

Li Han Tian was overjoyed, the sky did not disappoint him. He finally regained his Six Kun Peng Variants.

An unknown amount of time had passed, and Li Han Tian recovered his mind from his deep cultivation. Although he had regained the complete Law of Merits, and it was an extremely powerful one even among those who were on the same level, and it was a very powerful one, Li Han Tian did not become complacent or arrogant. He knew his real body more than anyone else. When compared to the other geniuses, his Physique, Life Wheel, and Fate Palace were all extremely lacking. He had to cultivate a hundred times harder in order to catch up to the others, he had to be patient. Only then, he could obtain the Will of Heaven in this era to sweep through the nine heavens and earth.

With his qualifications as a senior who had taught Immortal Emperors and powerful beings, he knew the principle behind the mysterious truth more than anyone. His greatest strength and advantage was to have a perfect cultivation procedure.

He began researching the method of the Rotating Crescent Sun. It was classified as a Life Wheel cultivation method used to train the Life Wheel and to increase lifespan and blood energy.

Every cultivator, and even humans, all had an innate longevity gauge. Every living being that had formed intelligence would have three things: the first was a Physique, the second was a Life Wheel, and the third was a Fate Palace.

Physical does not require much explanation. It is a thing that contains the life force of a person. Without this physical basis, there is no life. Even a mortal would have a mortal body. The general form of the human race with its bones, blood, and muscles is considered to be one of the best physical bases for accommodating life.

There is a saying about the Wheel of Life. A tree has its growth rings, and a human has the Wheel of Life. The Wheel of Life is located inside the body, but it is not physical. It was a light that kept turning. In the beginning, without any special external tools, only the cultivator himself could see his Life Wheel. However, after the cultivation was successful, the Life Wheel would appear behind one's head, its shape and light would determine the strength of one's blood energy and longevity.

If a man lives his life without accident, then the Wheel of Life will determine his age. The mortal Life Wheel of Li Han Tian for example, would allow him to live to the age of sixty without any cultivation.

Physiques, Life Wheel, and Fate Palace all had the following rankings from lowest to highest: “Mortal, Houtian, Xiantian, King, Saint, and Immortal.”

All three share the same ranking system, but under normal circumstances, cultivators are unable to change or level up their Life Wheel and Fate Palace, both of them are innately given to you by the heavens. As for the body, one's physique could be cultivated. For example, someone with a Xiantian physique, through cultivation and effort, could raise it to the next rank.

Note:

the classic Daoist Zhuangzi:

In the darkness of the north was a fish and his name was Kun. Kun is huge, I don't know how many thousand li he measured. He transforms and becomes a bird named Peng. The back of Peng measures I don't know how many thousand li and, when he got up and flew, his wings were like clouds all over the sky. When the sea began to move, this bird set out for the southern darkness, which is the Heaven Lake.

[1] Kun resembles a whale, Peng is eagle-shaped, I recommend googling Kun Peng if you want to see the picture.
