When the time comes for learning, it naturally happens (large chapter asks for monthly ticket)_2 In an instant, vortexes of energy were born all around him, causing the surrounding grass and trees to bow down and waves of Qi to fly horizontally.
As the Qi circulated faster and faster, it quickly formed into the Silk Entangling Strength, sharp and unrivaled.
A slight lean against a nearby tree resulted in the bark exploding, and wood debris flying everywhere.
In terms of power, the silk entangling strength manifested with spiritual energy is largely inferior to the Air-travel-transforming-into-gold Skill.
After all, it did not move the surrounding nature’s spiritual energy, thus the consumption and power would be considerably less.
...
“Operating the Heavenly Gang Qi with my own spiritual energy, the spiritual energy consumed is enough to perform the Air-travel-transforming-into-gold Skill twice…”
Chen Dengming frowned, dispersed the power around his body, then continued to recite and perform the Air-travel-transforming-into-gold Skill.
With the recitation of secret words, full of majesty and containing a special rhythm.
It seemed like the surrounding air quickly filled with sharp wind, even the blowing wind felt like a knife against the face.
The resonance of golden spiritual energy emerged and rapidly gathered.
Chen Dengming opened his hand, and his body was surrounded by controlled golden spiritual energy.
It was like a group of soldiers, sharp and ready to strike at any moment.
At this point, he only needed to execute the method of the Air-travel-transforming-into-gold Skill, and in an instant, all the surrounding Qi would immediately contract, becoming countless golden blades, shredding him, causing a slow death.
After pondering for a while, Chen Dengming imbued his high-level robe with spiritual energy and summoned the Gengjin Bell, preparing to activate protection at any time.
Then, he attempted to reach a special state of mind where the mind achieved stillness and emptiness, slowly approaching the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.
If one says that without entering the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man, even the combination of martial arts and spiritual energy cannot directly manipulate the spiritual energy in the air.
Then, after closely reaching the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man, an invisible pair of large hands seems to be added to the perception, which can freely manipulate the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, whether rolling it into a ball or stretching it long.
…
Just half a teacup’s time later, Chen Dengming gave up attempting to enter directly.
He sorted out his emotions and attempted to enter the state of still concentration through the comprehension of Sword Intention.
‘State of mind, Thoughts, State of affairs’, these things are subtle beyond subtlety, whether in martial arts or in Daoism, this is the case.
Sometimes, when you deliberately seek for that state, you can’t find it.
At other times, when you don’t consciously seek for it, you can just happen to enter that state by coincidence.
It’s kind of similar to the difficulty of finding light on a piece of paper.
Suddenly, when you come across the right path, you realize you’ve been fooled all along.
But this state achieved by coincidence can’t guarantee it will happen again next time, it’s not something one can maintain at will.
Therefore, the state of Unity of Heaven and Man in martial arts is something few can master.
Chen Dengming is also lacking in experience at this time, but he tries a different approach, trying to adjust his mindset through the already achieved union of man and sword, using an analogy to get close to the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man.
When one is concentrated on doing something, the passage of time seems to become gradually indistinct.
In this case, all things and thoughts have fallen asleep, with only knowledge, and vision melting away.
It was morning on the second day in a blink of an eye.
When the eastern sky turned from white to yellow and then from yellow to red, that ray of red light shone on Chen Dengming’s face.
He jerked his head up and saw in his pupils thousands of strands of golden light erupting from the east, piercing through the rosy clouds, and covering all the mountains, rivers, and forests in all directions with a layer of glittering gold.
At this moment, inspiration and state that accumulated overnight seemed to be ignited at this time.
The dull spiritual light suddenly bloomed brilliantly.
Chen Dengming’s eyes gleamed, his silver-white hair fluttered, and his spirit instantly reached a state of extreme tranquility.
Suddenly, he started the technique again.
In the air, countless tiny golden spirits came swimming and jumping like lively fish, flexible and light.
As Chen Dengming stretched and folded his arms, abandoning the technique of Air-travel-transforming-into-gold Skill, he used the method of circulating Heavenly Gang Qi instead to control the surrounding golden spiritual energy.
At this moment, he seemed to have become one with the surrounding golden spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy in his body was running along the path of the Heavenly Gang Qi at high speed, forming a circle.
As he waved his hands, the large amount of Qi around him rotated at high speed, also forming a circle.
Suddenly, they all radiated metallic sheen, looking like a circle of golden light encircling Chen Dengming, forming protection.
Chen Dengming showed no joy or sadness.
Looking at the Qi that was swirling around him at high speed, he could feel the strong killing intent and sharpness it contained, but at this moment it was he who was controlling it freely, making it much more flexible than before.
“Go!——”
He pointed, and the flowing Qi immediately rolled back and shot out like a stream of metal flood, ‘boom’ piercing several big trees.
Chen Dengming turned his hand, and the flowing Qi immediately turned into a dazzling golden circle, rotating around a huge rock at an unparalleled speed.
“buzz——”
The massive rock buzzed, and in an instant, it fell to the ground fragmented into countless pieces.
The air was filled with the unpleasant smell of metal and stone powder friction.
Chen Dengming’s eyes were smiling, and he beckoned.

The flowing Qi, whose control was weakened considerably, shrank back again and rotated at high speed in his palm, like a rapidly cutting golden wheel.
The panel showed changes in his Air-travel-transforming-into-gold Skill and life limit.
