There are many kinds of avoidance techniques in Daoism, of which the most famous is the Five Elements Avoidance Technique.
The reason why the Five Elements Avoidance Technique is famous is not necessarily because it is the fastest in terms of speed, but rather because in the concept of Daoism, there are several ways to form the world, and one of them involves the five elements.
Another way to put it is that all things in the world contain the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Therefore, if one learns the Five Elements Avoidance Technique, it is possible to avoid anywhere in the world.
The "Sovereign Gold Light Across the Earth" that Chen Yun had learned before might be faster than any form of the Five Elements Avoidance Technique in terms of speed, but the Sovereign Gold Light cannot escape far when encountering certain formations that block it.
For example, the "Green Dragon, Red Blood Grand Array" will make the Sovereign Gold Light ineffective.
Even when expanded, it remains trapped within the great array and cannot escape.
However, if he had mastered either the earth or fire avoidance techniques at that time, he could have easily escaped.
"The Five Elements Avoidance Technique is an unspeakable secret of our Daoist Sect. How did this fellow, Kang Yuan, obtain the earth avoidance technique?"
Chen Yun was somewhat puzzled.
But at this moment, he was particularly excited and did not delve into deeper thought.
Chen Yun quickly extracted the book from the money artifact.
He stays at the center of the lake, with brilliant starlight fluttering above his head.
Chen Yun felt the texture of the book and found it to be similar to stone.
He flipped through the pages of the book carefully, and the first page wrote a line of words: Earth Avoidance Technique, without magic, passed down from《Dun Jia Tian Shu》.
"Hmm?" Chen Yun was stunned for a moment, "Isn't《Dun Jia Tian Shu》 the great law of the old Sage Zuo Ci?"
He really couldn't make sense of it. He was puzzled as to how the old immortal, Zuo Ci's avoidance technique, had ended up in the hands of that scoundrel Kang Yuan.
However, it can be confirmed that this earth avoidance technique is only one of the avoidance techniques recorded in《Dun Jia Tian Shu》, and it is not a complete earth avoidance method.
There is a fundamental difference between law and technique.
Law is a complete theory that allows you to understand various "techniques" related to this law, not limited to merely copying and applying spells.
Techniques are more like fixed patterns that tell you what to do, and then achieve what kind of effect.
Although this book only records the earth avoidance technique, which is not a great law, it is still very rare for Chen Yun at the moment.
"According to historical records, those who have learned《Dun Jia Tian Shu》are none other than the descendants of the old immortal, Zuo Ci."
Chen Yun carefully recalls the information, "The only clear disciple of Zuo Ci old immortal is Ge Xuan Tian Master. In addition, the legendary Xiahou Lan is also said to be a disciple of the old immortal, although this has not been proven. However, according to rumors, Zhuge Kongming would also possess some magical spells recorded in《Dun Jia Tian Shu》, so it is possible that Xiahou Lan was indeed a disciple or registered disciple of Zuo Ci old immortal, and therefore has never been disclosed publicly."
The name Xiahou Lan may be quite unfamiliar to many people.
This person was from the late Eastern Han Dynasty, once a general under Cao Cao, and later participated in the Battle of Bo lang Slope with Xiahou Dun. He was captured by Zhao Yun of Liu Bei's army.
Xiahou Lan was from the same town as Zhao Yun and had known each other since childhood.
Therefore, Zhao Yun requested Liu Bei not to kill Xiahou Lan.
Liu Bei, considering Xiahou Lan's expertise in law, invited him to become the military judge.
This is a historical record.
If according to《Romance of the Three Kingdoms》, Xiahou Lan appeared in the thirty-ninth episode and participated in the Battle of Bo lang Slope, where he was speared to death by Zhang Fei's lance. He is purely a background actor.
Chen Yun estimates that the legend of Zhuge Wugong knowing the《Dun Jia Tian Shu》is likely to be a private teaching from Xiahou Lan.
Of course, it is also possible that Zuo Ci old immortal transformed into another person's appearance and taught it to Zhuge Wugong.
That doesn't matter.
The important thing is that Chen Yun can now learn that those who know the magic spells in《Dun Jia Tian Shu》are likely to be among the following: Zuo Ci, the descendants of Ge Xuan, the descendants of Xiahou Lan, and the descendants of Zhuge Wugong.
In addition, there is the mysterious immortal who taught《Dun Jia Tian Shu》to Zuo Ci.
According to historical records, Zuo Ci's master should be one of the three realms of Qin Xuejun.
However,《Dun Jia Tian Shu》was not taught by the three realms of Mao Jun, as legends say that Zuo Ci obtained it accidentally.
The specific person who taught Zuo Ci《Dun Jia Tian Shu》is unknown.
Chen Yun cannot confirm yet whether the《Earth Avoidance Technique》in his hand comes from the descendants of which person.
He continued to flip to the second page, which was filled with a lot of information related to the earth element.
For example, what the earth element is like, how to sense it, etc.
Of course, the book did not use the term "element" to describe it, but instead used the word "qi" to describe it.
These are theoretical knowledge, which is very valuable to speak of.
Chen Yun carefully reads through the introduction of the earth element.
Subsequently, he gained a certain level of understanding of the earth element, "So-called earth element actually seems to be in line with the carbon element standard, but is more comprehensive in terms of inclusion."
He compared the physical knowledge and cultivation knowledge he learned in his previous life, roughly finding a reference point, and did not mean that the earth element is the same as carbon.
Chen Yun was diligent in flipping to the third page, wanting to continue learning.
The third page records how to cultivate "earth qi" within the body.
Chen Yun was already proficient in the knowledge of the Daoist sect, and he had outstanding talents. After carefully reading the description, he quickly condensed a thin strand of earth qi within his body.
On the fourth page...
On the fifth page...
Chen Yun flipped through seventeen or eighteen pages in a row.
Almost from the moment the night fell, he saw until the hour of the dog.
At this point, the medicinal effect of his body's cultivation of essence and refining qi had taken effect.
If according to Chen Yun's usual situation, he would definitely put aside all the things in his hands and sense the generation of true qi.
However, at this moment, he is immersed in the knowledge of the earth element and has not cared about how true qi operates, as long as the medicine's power can operate autonomously.
Finally, Chen Yun flipped to the nineteenth page, which was the last page.
It only contained the incantations and the specific methods for using the earth avoidance technique.
Chen Yun memorized the incantations and methods.
He roughly understood this earth avoidance technique.
Or, it is a form of walking earth technique that has been realized from the earth avoidance method, and it does not count as true earth avoidance technique.
The "Walking Earth Technique" is self-explanatory. It is inseparable from the ground, and even when it is being used, it can only traverse the ground.
The true earth avoidance method is much more advanced than the walking earth technique. Any material with earth elements can be traversed, such as stones. Generally speaking, stones contain gold and earth elements. If this form of walking earth technique encounters a huge boulder blocking the way underground, it can only go around the giant stone before continuing forward, but the true earth avoidance method is different. It can directly pass through the boulder.
The magic of earth avoidance techniques is far more than this. In fact, you can even use them by sprinkling a dust of earth, allowing you to travel instantly to thousands of miles away.
If we compare this form of walking earth technique that has been realized from the earth avoidance method with the true earth avoidance method, we can say it is weak beyond repair.
But no matter how weak it may be, it is still a form of earth avoidance technique, and it is almost impossible for an ordinary person to defend against it.
If you learn this technique, even if you face powerful enemies and cannot defeat them, you can still take advantage of the opportunity to use the walking earth technique to escape instantly to thousands or even tens of thousands of miles away.
Chen Yun was so eager to try it that he thought, "Find a place to test it?"
Just as he was thinking, Zhang Ling's voice echoed from the lakeside, "Mr. Chen, it's midnight. You should go to rest."
Chen Yun put the book away, turned his head, and smiled and replied, "Okay, I'll be back soon."
He crossed the step towards the direction of the lake with his hands behind his back.
In one stride, he covered dozens of meters, and in a few steps, Chen Yun had already returned to the shore.
Zhang Ling seemed to just wake up, and there was a little swelling around her eyes.
She said with a slight yawn, "I don't know why, but I'm a little tired tonight."
Chen Yun furrowed his brow as he looked at her, "Miss Zhang, as a cultivator with a high talent, it's not possible for you to have reached the level of a medium-level wizard at twenty-plus years old. In theory, even if you haven't rested well, your body should be supported by 'qi', and there shouldn't be swelling around your eyes or a feeling of fatigue. In my opinion, there's a problem with your cultivation."
Zhang Ling was startled at first, but she immediately snapped to attention.
She said nervously, "Mr. Chen, I felt a bit of discomfort in myself today, but I always didn't know what the problem was with my cultivation. Can you enlighten me?"
Chen Yun thought for a moment and extended his hand, saying, "Give me your hand."
Zhang Ling obediently extended her right hand and placed it in Chen Yun's palm.
Chen Yun gently clasped the other's hand and sent qi into their body to roam, checking the specific situation.
After a short while, he sensed that there were numerous mysterious lesions in Zhang Ling's body.
No, more accurately, it's like being poisoned, but the poisoning is relatively shallow, so the impact isn't too great.
After understanding the reason, Chen Yun sighed in relief. He asked quietly, "What did you eat tonight, or what unusual things did you come into contact with?"
Zhang Ling thought carefully, "I ate the usual fullness pill, and I don't think I came into contact with anything unusual. I ate the fullness pill early and went to rest, and when I woke up, I felt a bit tired."
Since this is the case, it might be that the cultivation method is improper, and the accumulated toxins have erupted over the years.
After all, the outer way of cultivation is different from the inner dan technique. The first step of the inner dan technique is to build a foundation for one hundred days, which requires eliminating the lesions in the body and keeping it in its best state at all times.
The outer way of cultivation does not have such a method.
Chen Yun didn't think much and nodded, "Do you have any detoxifying pills like Niuhuang pill that you carry with you?"
Zhang Ling said, "Yes."
Chen Yun said, "Take one. It should be fine."
Zhang Ling only breathed a sigh of relief and smiled sweetly, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for checking on me."
Chen Yun didn't say anything else and bid farewell to the other, heading towards the campsite.
......
Returning to the campsite.
Chen Yun did not continue to check what else was good in the money artifact.
At this moment, Chen Yun was immersed in the earth avoidance technique. After greeting with Qin Ming and others upon his return, he immediately began to practice the earth avoidance technique.
Chen Yun first faced south, sat cross-legged, and used his hands to make five elements of earth hand signs.
He closed his eyes, concentrated his mind, relaxed his body, and kept his spirit inside. He breathed in and out three times, focusing on the Dan Tian.
Gradually, Chen Yun felt the true qi in his Dan Tian was full, and then he wrapped the earth qi he had just tried to cultivate and circulated it around his body.
Currently, it is just a practice phase. It is still unable to use the earth avoidance technique.
Chen Yun kept practicing repeatedly and constantly sensed the soil elements in his body and the earth below fused together.
Such repeated practice is very time-consuming for an ordinary person. Without a year and a half of arduous cultivation, perhaps no effect will be achieved at all.
However, Chen Yun is proficient in Daoist knowledge and has learned the horizontal golden light, which gives him a certain understanding of the art of avoidance, so he learns it quickly.
About two hours later, around the beginning of the third hour, he felt that the "earth qi" in his body was gradually merging with the earth elements below.
"Now you can recite the incantation and try if you can travel underground."
Thinking of this, Chen Yun silently recited the incantation.
In the next moment, true qi boosted earth qi completely enveloped his body and suddenly plunged into the earth!
