"Karma Sutra..." Gu Xu thought silently in his heart.

When he imagined the carvings on the stone wall as a picture and the lines of burning flames, the scene of hell's karma fire naturally emerged in his mind.

Subsequently, a large amount of information poured into his mind, forming a complex and profound scripture.

"Karma Fire Sutra" was a strange name to him, and it had never appeared in the Taoist books he had read.

Gu Xu guessed that this may be because after the "Changshou Cult" was banned by the Daqi Dynasty as a demonic sect, all its Taoism and martial arts secret books were destroyed and were not allowed to be spread in the world.

This "Karma Fire Sutra" hidden in the stone wall is most likely the method originally practiced by the Changshou Sect.

"If I remember correctly, the Changshou Sect had a saint-level strongman many years ago," Gu Xu thought secretly, "This means that this "Karma Fire Sutra" should contain the true meaning of the Great Dao.

Top quality exercises.

"It and the "Red Flame True Art" are both fire-attribute techniques, but its flames are much hotter. Not only can it purify the yin energy and temper the true essence like the "Red Flame True Art", but it can also be tempered over and over again.

Strengthen the soul. If I practice this technique, the power of the soul attack techniques such as 'Solar Eclipse' and 'Star Wall' that I have mastered will be greatly enhanced.

"Especially after I advance to the fifth realm and am able to leave my body, these effects of it will be more obvious.

"Oh, it's a pity that it is a top-grade technique..."

Because Gu Xu is determined to become a saint, he must walk out of his own "Tao". The high-quality skills that other monks regard as treasures are for him a shackle that hinders his progress.

Others, especially those monks who came from commoner backgrounds and lacked cultivation resources since childhood, when they read this "Karma Fire Sutra", they may be as elated as if they discovered a treasure worth thousands of gold.

But Gu Xu's heart was untroubled.

After all, he doesn't have any use for top-grade skills.

However, after he read the verses of the Karma Fire Sutra several times in detail in his mind, he suddenly discovered a serious problem——

The classification of cultivation realms in the "Karma Fire Sutra" seems to be different from other Dahuang practices.

In the orthodox practice system of Dahuang, the nine realms of practice are called "Guimen Pass", "Huangquan Road", "Wangxiang Terrace", "Naihe Bridge", "Wangxiang Terrace", "Meng Poting", "Fengdu Gate" and "Yam Luo".

"Temple", "Nine Hells Prison" and "The Way to Immortality".

But in the "Karma Fire Sutra", the nine realms of practice are called "Peeling Clothes Pavilion", "Black Rope Prison", "Peeling Blood Pool", "Heart-killing Prison", "Waiting Death City", and "Hot Annoyance Prison"

, "the hell of the depressed pot", "the hell of Avici", "nirvana".

The former means going to hell first and then going to heaven.

The latter has been undergoing the roasting and baptism of karmic fire in hell, and after washing away their own dirt and sins, they can achieve the transcendence of the soul and the immortality of the body.

And according to the description in the scriptures, in order to reach a higher state, in addition to hard work and enlightenment, something called "mindfulness" is also needed.

Gu Xu studied for a while and found that the meaning of "mind power" is actually similar to "incense" or "belief", which refers to the trust and admiration from the heart of others.

"No wonder this 'Changshou Cult' was wiped out by the Great Qi court," Gu Xu said thoughtfully, "In the Great Qi Dynasty that believed in Supreme Haotian and Emperor Ziwei, it is indeed possible to practice this method of becoming a god yourself.

He said that he was contemptuous of God and treasonous."

It is naturally impossible for Gu Xu to practice such a high-grade and deviant technique. After all, he is still receiving a salary from the imperial court.

It's just that he is a little greedy for the flames in the "Karma Fire Sutra" that can temper the soul.

Ever since he had a fierce battle with the mysterious Gu Master hiding in the dark when he bought the courtyard house in Zhengpingfang, he had fully realized the importance of the power of the soul.

After all, he has now been targeted by the organization behind the scenes, and he will probably fight again with the Gu Master and his companions with their own unique skills in the future.

Only by making your soul power stronger can you have a better chance of winning the next time you fight.

In addition, the realm names such as "Karma Fire Sutra" are full of the atmosphere of the underworld, as well as the picture of hell karma fire, which made Gu Xu couldn't help but think of the terrifying vision he saw in front of Chiyangzi's grave at the end of last month.

He always felt that this "Karma Fire Sutra" might hide more secrets.

"How about... I try to analyze the true meaning of the Great Dao in the "Karma Fire Sutra", take its essence and remove its dross - retain its soul-strengthening effect, remove its content that is against God and banned by the court, and then

Can I use it to improve my "Red Flame True Art"?"

Theoretically speaking, "Red Flame True Art" is considered to be of relatively high quality among middle-grade exercises. Using it to cultivate to the sixth level can be said to be more than enough.

But if there is an opportunity to improve the quality of his skills and improve the efficiency of his practice, Gu Xu will certainly not refuse.

Perhaps in Gu Xu's eyes, "improving martial arts" is just like "improving talismans and seal scripts". It is an ordinary and trivial matter that is not worth mentioning.

But if outside monks knew what he was thinking at this time, they would definitely be shocked.

Because the exercises determine the trajectory of the true energy in the monk's meridians, it is the foundation for the monks to perform all spells and martial arts.

It is like the "operating system" of the monks. As long as there is a slight problem, it may cause the true energy to be disordered, unable to use various Taoist methods normally, or even go crazy and die suddenly.

Normally, only a high-level monk who has been practicing for decades and has extremely rich experience has the ability and confidence to improve or create a technique.

Gu Xu has been practicing for less than a year, and he dares to tamper with the exercises. It can be said that he is bold.

He didn't hesitate for long.

After making this decision, he immediately took out the pen and paper from "Xianyunju" and first drew the true energy movement trajectory diagram of "Red Flame True Jue", and then referred to the scriptures of "Karma Fire Sutra" to analyze it

Some details have been modified.

Soon, the white paper in front of him was filled with dense patterns and symbols.

…………

Time flies by.

About an hour later, Gu Xu finally drew a preliminary improvement plan for the "Red Flame True Art".

At this time, the orange lantern placed next to him suddenly went out and turned back into a crumpled talisman paper.

Gu Xu knew that this was because the true energy in the talisman had been exhausted, so he had to restore the prototype.

So he took out a talisman seal again and poured more essence into it, turning it into a brighter and longer-lasting lantern.

Then, he took out an old copper coin, recited the name of God, and asked "whether there are any loopholes in the exercises I modified."

The coin lands tails up.

A satisfied smile appeared on Gu Xu's face.

Then he put away the pen and paper, picked up the lantern, and continued walking deeper into the cave, all the way down the steep slope.

The further you go in, the higher the temperature becomes.

The sound of gurgling water became increasingly clear.

After turning a few corners, his vision suddenly became brighter.

Soon, the lava river mentioned by Luo Sishou appeared in front of him.

The hot magma continuously gushes out from the darkness and rushes along the river, like countless wild horses condensed by fire, containing majestic power.

The hot air filled the cave, giving Gu Xu a sauna-like feeling.

However, at this moment, he suddenly discovered that he was not the only one in the cave——

I saw a woman sitting on top of the magma with her eyes closed, motionless.

She was dressed in red, holding a sharp spear of gold and red in her arms, and her long black hair was spread behind her.

The skin is as pale as paper, and the red lips are as bright as blood.
