Mo Wen continuously pondered over the "Ninth Level Golden Body Sutra," occasionally seeking advice from Old Lu, while also preparing to embark on his cultivation of the Golden Body Realm. However, no matter how he contemplated it, he felt that something was amiss with this Kung Fu. Upon closer examination, he discovered that the annotations for the Kung Fu were incomplete, seemingly missing some crucial parts.
"Is there a problem with this Kung Fu?" Old Lu asked, looking at Mo Wen who had come to express his doubts.
"Not exactly. It's just that the annotations seem a bit lacking, so I thought I’d consult you, Old Lu."
"Annotations are merely insights left by the creator of this Kung Fu or those who have practiced it before. They don't hold much reference value. Besides, if someone failed in their cultivation and it stated in the annotations that practicing this Kung Fu could lead to disability, would you still dare to cultivate it?"
"There are risks involved in practicing the Ninth Level Golden Body," Mo Wen replied. "You’ve mentioned this before, Old Lu. I understand that risks and opportunities coexist."
"Exactly! What other questions do you have? Cultivation is inherently against the heavens. If you're afraid of this and that, then why bother cultivating at all? If you believe there’s a problem with the 'Ninth Level Golden Body Sutra,' then don’t practice it. However, Old Man only has this one 'Ninth Level Golden Body' Kung Fu. Just wait a moment; let me see if I can find an 'Eighth Level Golden Body' Kung Fu." With that, Old Lu began rummaging through his storage bag.
"Ha ha, Old Lu, no need to look for it. I’ll just practice this 'Ninth Level Golden Body Sutra,'" Mo Wen said, scratching his head awkwardly with an embarrassed smile on his face.
"No way! The cultivation of the 'Ninth Level Golden Body' carries great risks. I think it would be safer for you to cultivate an 'Eighth Level Golden Body,'" Old Lu continued searching with his head down.
"Really, no need to look for it, Old Lu. I want to cultivate this one; I think it's quite good."
"Really?" Old Lu raised his head and looked at Mo Wen with suspicion.
"Really! I don’t have anything else to do right now; I’ll go prepare for my cultivation." Mo Wen hurriedly left as if escaping. Watching him flee, Old Lu stroked his beard with a smile of triumph on his face.
...
Having escaped from the small wooden cabin, Mo Wen arrived at Gourd Mouth with Xiao Hei and sat cross-legged on a large stone, reflecting on his earlier conversation with Old Lu. It seemed there was no real issue; he could now confirm that there was nothing wrong with the "Ninth Level Golden Body Sutra." As for any problems he might encounter during cultivation, he would resolve them as they arose; any unclear aspects would naturally become clear in time. He felt that this time Old Lu was different from before; previously, he insisted that Mo Wen fully comprehend the Kung Fu and resolve all doubts before starting cultivation. Yet this time, even though there were still things he didn’t understand, Old Lu had not provided answers. However, based on his current understanding of the "Ninth Level Golden Body Sutra," he felt confident about proceeding with cultivation. Perhaps he had indeed been intimidated by what Old Lu had said earlier. Shaking off these thoughts, he sat down to adjust his state.
After two days of adjustment and clearing away all distractions, believing himself to be ready, he began cultivating the "Ninth Level Golden Body Sutra." He activated the Kung Fu to guide the Yin Yang Principle within him to start refining his body. The Yin Yang Principle began to circulate throughout his body under the guidance of the Kung Fu. During this process of circulation, interactions between Yin and Yang started to create changes; the originally harmonious Law of Power was disrupted. The interaction of Yin and Yang within him generated Thunderbolt Power and Fire Power, making him feel as if he were being torn apart from within. Just when he thought he could no longer endure it, the Wood Law emerged within him, repairing his damaged organs.
