Chapter 411 Real Person
Half a month later.

Yangrang Mountain, above a five-story palace.

Looking up, I saw fog and smoke rolling up and down, covering an area of ​​more than ten miles, revealing a star-like and mottled color.

And in the middle there was a rumbling sound, just like a strong man beating a drum, and I don't know how much grass and trees on the mountain top were shaken down, the sound was quite impressive.

But at this moment, there was not a single person in the palace.

It's just that the images of the five elements are rising and falling, covering the entire room, constantly changing from virtual to real, and then from real to virtual, fully showing the wonderful image of the rotation of Yin and Yang.

And in the depths of the five energies, there was only a brilliant, round golden elixir hanging high in the air, emitting warm and bright light.

It looks like an integration of wisdom, giving people an inexplicable feeling of being unable to see clearly and unpredictable!
Its ability to control the four directions and create the five kinds of Qi is truly incomparably mysterious!
Not long after, a clear whistle suddenly sounded out of nowhere.

The five-colored light in the room shrank and was all taken back into the golden elixir.

The golden elixir just spun in the air, and suddenly a colorful mist coated the ground.

On the apricot-yellow cushion, a young Taoist priest in a purple robe suddenly appeared.

"All energies are in harmony, and the Dao body is a gift from heaven... I already know the wonders of this state."

After closing his eyes and pondering for a moment, Chen Heng flicked his sleeves and laughed out loud.

The practice of Taoism is a gradual process.

It is often said that a nine-story tower starts with piling up earth.

A cultivator needs to penetrate the important acupoints of heaven step by step before he can achieve a state where he can see everything from top to bottom and understand both the inside and the outside. There is no shortcut.

When it comes to the Qi refining realm, depending on the differences in the Qi refining methods, practitioners still have concerns about "gathering Qi".

People in this state need to carefully discern from among the 129,600 types of spiritual energy and find the spiritual energy that matches their method of Qi practice.

If one is not careful when gathering energy, one may suffer from a deficiency of the vital energy and end up suffering from all kinds of diseases...

The ability to purify spiritual energy of the "palace inside and outside the body" in the Purple Mansion realm greatly facilitates the process of gathering energy and storing spiritual energy, making it easier for practitioners to absorb and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and hone their Taoism.

The Dongxuan realm has reached a higher level.

As for the golden elixir, it is already "all the qi is complete, and the Taoist body is gifted by heaven", which can be regarded as the end of the worries about "gathering qi".

The spiritual energy he draws from his practice is no longer confined to one family or one household; it can freely drive away the clear and turbid and swallow up all things!
In the practice of Taoism, those who have achieved the Golden Elixir and the Primordial Spirit can be called True Persons. This is a title inherited from the ancient Taoist court era.

The so-called true man is neither born nor dead, neither empty nor full, breathes the wind and drinks the dew, rides on clouds and controls dragons.

When it moves, it moves mountains and rivers and drives away ghosts and gods.

When you are quiet, you hide your mind and forget about worries.

It can change into a variety of shapes, can be used to predict good and bad fortune, and can enlighten all living things including birds and beasts.

As for entering a trance, cultivating one's nature and prolonging one's life and so on, these are even more common things, as easy as pie!

The life span of people in this realm has reached one thousand five hundred, which is totally different from that of ordinary people.

If you are proficient in some methods of longevity, using medicine to prolong life, and numerology to prolong life, so that internal diseases will not occur and external troubles will not invade, your life span can be longer.

Sit back and watch the clouds rise and fall in the sky and the countries change from one another in the secular world. He is so happy and carefree. No wonder he is called a "real person"!
However, for Chen Heng, what he values ​​most is that his true Qi has been transformed into magic power after he has cultivated the golden elixir.

At this time, his combat power had increased several times, which was incomparable to that when he was at the third level of Dongxuan, just like a weasel compared to a giant elephant.

Compare the two.

The gap is truly jaw-dropping!
After thinking for a moment, Chen Heng's mind moved, and in a moment he arrived in the One True Dharma Realm, reflecting his current state of mind...

……

【Mahayanamitra Light Samadhi】

Name: Chen Heng.

[Kung Fu]: Taisu Jade Body (Fourth level of Yuan Realm), Yin Xie Red Water (Great Success), Ziqing Divine Thunder (Great Success), Scattering Scenery Shape-Restoring Technique (Great Success), Zhouyuan Secret Book Turtle Divination (Great Success), Jiugong Xuanyi Guizhi (Great Success), Luo'an Black Water (Medium Success), Nanming Lihuo (Minor Success)...

[Magic Weapons]: Avici Sword (——), Escape Shuttle (superior magic weapon), Moon Wheel Mirror (superior magic weapon), Five Qi Universe Circle (superior magic weapon), Jade Scenery Flying Palace (medium-grade magic weapon), Zhanyan Magic Jade (secret treasure), Yuanxu Demon Subduing Sword Scroll (secret treasure), Zhengao Heaven Plate (secret treasure), Trapped Dragon Nail (secret treasure)...

[True Scripture]: The Secret Scripture of the Five Elements Spiritual Platform, Fang Junxiang Sword Explanation, Peacock Book...

[Kendo]: The fifth realm—sword energy, thundering sound, sword light differentiation.

[Taoism]: The first level of golden elixir - the root of the body becomes an image (Xuanzhong Taiwu Natural Kaiyuan Sutra).

……

Chen Heng took a closer look, thoughts turning in his mind, and soon he erased this page of the Maha Golden Book along with the image of his mind, and his mind returned to the present world.

From the fetal breathing state at the beginning of practice, to practicing Qi, building the foundation, purple palace, and finally to Dongxuan.

The practice of the immortal path is all in each major realm, and there are also detailed divisions into smaller realms, each with its own mysteries.

The golden elixir above the Dongxuan level is no exception.

There are three levels of Jindan, which are:
The body's roots form images, the gradual method has nine returns, and the spirit has a form.

"Body root" is the foundation of the human body, namely the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit.

These three treasures are derived from the energy of heaven and earth.

The spirit is received from the sky, the essence is received from the earth, and the qi is received from harmony.

Anyone who has achieved the golden elixir has all the three treasures in his possession, and never reveals them.

There is no special trick to the cultivation of the first level of "body root formation". One only needs to keep absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After one's own elixir power has been increased to the extreme, one can naturally break through the obstacles and successfully advance to the next level.

This step is not difficult to say, but for most real people in the world, it really takes some time and effort to do it.

Because the elixir is divided into nine grades, the grades are strict——

Although Jindan Zhenren has already achieved "all kinds of energy and a Taoist body gifted by heaven", he is no longer troubled by the issue of gathering energy.

But if one only relies on meditation and hard practice to increase the power of the elixir bit by bit, then it is undoubtedly a waste of time...

Not to mention the hard work involved, even if one finally succeeds, it will have cost him a lot of his life.

If a cultivator were lucky enough to succeed in achieving the elixir when he was old, he would most likely die halfway through, let alone have any hope of a successful future.

For this reason, as a rare type in the world that can not only boost the cultivator's elixir power but also has no hidden dangers, "real sand" is naturally highly sought after, and has caused countless storms.

However, considering Chen Heng's current elixir quality, he is not too concerned about the Zhengyang Cinnabar that he will need for his future practice.

Not to mention what might happen after becoming your disciple.

Just based on his first-grade golden elixir, the sect will naturally allocate more resources to him and train him vigorously, just like the previous story of Jun Yao.

All he had to do was to practice peacefully and not worry too much about external things...

And when the power of the elixir is perfected and one breaks through one's first level, it will be the second level of the golden elixir, "Nine Gradual Returns".

If we talk about the key to this realm, it is to take the five elements of the golden elixir, mobilize the essence of the three essentials, and determine the origin of one thing.

To return, to go back to the source, is to dig deep into the innate nature of one's own Tao body.

One returns to the kidney, two returns to the heart, three returns to the liver, four returns to the lungs, five returns to the spleen, six returns to the Dan room, seven returns to the Qi house, eight returns to the Jing room, and nine returns to the Shen room.

This "Nine Returns" is the degree of tempering the body, and is also the skill of tempering the void.

As for the final third level of the golden elixir, "the spirit within a physical form", the cultivator needs to combine heaven and earth and cultivate an inner scene.

This "inner scene" is the key to achieving the Dharma image of the primordial spirit. It is also called the "small Dharma image" and is of vital importance.

The body becomes an image, the gradual method returns to the nine realms, the spirit has a form...

These are the three minor realms of Jindan cultivation. After Jindan, if one breaks through the twelve barriers of the primordial spirit, deciphers the mystery of returning to the void, and overcomes the three disasters of pure yang, then one will reach the state of the nine difficulties.

After nine difficulties, the immortality will be revealed, and from then on, one’s lifespan will be as long as heaven, and one will escape the gate of life and death and attain immortality!
To ascend the steps to heaven with a human body, to see the infinite with the finite, that's exactly what it is!

After pondering for a moment, Chen Heng slowly put away his powerful magical power and smiled slightly.

He stood up from the apricot-yellow cushion and walked out.

After successfully forming the elixir that day, under the guidance of Patriarch Fu Shen, he went to pay a visit to Taoist Master Fu Yu of Tai Fu Palace and saw the distinguished face of this great master with his own eyes.

However, as he did not want to go against the good intentions of the Taoist master, Chen Heng did not rush back to Xiaoming Lake. Instead, he lingered in Yangrang Mountain for a few days to familiarize himself with his new magical powers.

However, fifteen days have passed now, and he has honed his Taoism to perfection, and can use and control his magic power at will.

There is no point in staying any longer, so it is time to resign...

“Previous Taoist techniques, such as the Xiantian Great Sun Divine Light and the Four Mountains Fighting Technique, are no longer applicable to me.

As for the lower volume of Purple Clear Divine Thunder, Divine Water and Divine Fire, the Six Realms of Sword Dao, as well as the Great Hand Seals of the Five Elder Heavenly Officials and other immortal magical powers… these are all my methods of protecting the Dao after attaining the Golden Elixir. I need to find some time to practice them properly.

According to the sect’s rules, those who have achieved the first-grade elixir can choose any one of the sect’s twenty-five orthodox methods to practice.

But I already have the "Xuanzhong Taiwu Ziran Kaiyuan Jinglu", so I don't lack any fundamental cultivation methods, so this time I have the opportunity..."

Chen Heng's mind turned, and after opening the door, he saw a vast expanse of bright light in his field of vision, as if a huge tide was floating in the sea, dazzling and colorful.

Occasionally, the cry of a crane is heard from the sky, and immediately the mountains respond with the sound, which lasts for a long time and is extremely pleasant to the ear.

The sun is floating on the wheel, the clouds are wandering...it is indeed a scene of spring and bright scenery before our eyes.

Chen Heng stopped to admire for a moment and straightened his clothes.

He was just about to go and greet the emperor and say goodbye, but as soon as he moved his feet, the scene in front of him suddenly changed.

When he calmed down again, he had arrived at a towering stone forest not far from the foot of Yangrang Mountain and fell into another area.

"No need to be so polite. Go ahead, go ahead. Don't make my old friend wait anxiously."

The voice of Taoist Master Fu Yu came from afar, and he said with a smile:
"Chen Heng, we will meet again in the future. At the Danyuan Conference, we will see your magical powers!"

Chen Heng did not dare to be negligent. He bowed solemnly towards the direction of Taifu Palace to show his seriousness.

When I raised my eyes again, the world in front of me was silent, and there was no sound.

"Old friend..."

Chen Heng lowered his eyelashes to hide his eyes, thinking to himself:
"Danyuan Conference?"

……

……

The floating clouds are high in the sky, like piles of snow, crystal clear and white, swaying and drifting in the strong wind, gathering and dispersing, changing and disappearing at any time.

On the top of a peak of Yangrang Mountain.

Seeing that Taoist Master Fu Yu had withdrawn his gaze, Daoqing Tou Tuo shook his head, threw the half-eaten red fruit back onto the plate, wiped his mouth and said:
"It's rare to find a first-grade elixir mastered by an orthodox immortal. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be the next champion of your Danyuan Conference. It seems that your Xuanmen has won the last few sessions. If you win again this time, and it's Yuchen who wins, won't the Xiantian Demon Sect lose face?"

"The battle between the mysterious and the demonic is not something so simple."

Taoist Master Fu Yu did not respond directly, but just turned his eyes and stared at Taoist Monk.

It was not until the monk felt embarrassed and lowered his head to scratch his face that he withdrew his gaze and sincerely advised:
"There is no need for the monk to talk nonsense and knock on the side anymore.

The Danyuan Conference is Xu Dutian's top priority. Like the Gangqi Layer, the Bottomless Mountain, and the Hetu Dahuo Wang Puppet in Beiluzhou, it cannot be spied on by outsiders. This was the contract signed by the eight sects and six schools back then.

I know you are curious and want to explore the true background of the Dan Yuan Conference, but it is better to give up this idea as soon as possible."

The Taoist monk was enlightened by his words. Although he felt a little regretful, he also knew how serious the situation was. He just sighed slowly and nodded helplessly.

"Over the years, your eight sects and six schools have become more and more terrifying..."

The Taoist monk muttered something, took out a small box from his sleeve, and said:

"You old man, we have been friends for so many years, why don't you show me some mercy? Take it!"

Taoist Fu Yu took it and looked at it. In the box was the Yuanxing Dafa Pill that Chen Xiangxian had asked for. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly.

"This is it?" he asked.

"There is another imperial edict coming from Fashengtian. I am afraid I will have to meet Xia Ji in the near future. I can't hide here any longer."

Daoqing Toutuo shook his head and said, "It is not easy to refine the Yuanxing Great Dharma Pill. Even with my ability, it would take at least several hundred years of hard work... Fortunately, I still have one pill left. Considering the generous gift of thanks brought by Chen Xiangxian and your face, I will give the pill I have to him first."

"Do you really want to wade into this muddy water of Fashengtian?" Taoist Fu Yu frowned.

"I have to go because someone saved my life. I still have to save my face..."

Taoist Fu Yu wanted to say something, but when the words came to his lips, he remained silent.

After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly spoke solemnly to the Taoist monk:
"Although the factions are at odds right now, Xia Ji is indeed a great leader in the world. With your attainments in alchemy, I'm sure Xia Ji won't send you to the front to fight. Since you insist on going to Fashengtian, then don't show up easily. I will say hello to the people from Xuanmo and Xuanmo, and..."

"Why worry too much about it? Whether a fight can break out is still a matter of debate. How long have the Dharma Saint Tian and the Universe been confronting each other? Do you think either side is really angry? If the Jiexian Patriarch is willing to personally step in and mediate, it is possible that a big matter can be reduced to a small one, or a small matter can be eliminated."

The Taoist monk interrupted with laughter.

Upon hearing this, Taoist Fu Yu remained silent and just shook his head slightly.

"Looking at you, it seems that Tai Fu Palace is really planning to get involved?"

Seeing his old friend acting like this, Daoqing Toutuo felt a little frightened and hurriedly asked.

"If you ask about the Dan Yuan Conference and the Gang Qi Layer, I can't open my mouth because of the constraints of the contract, but I can tell you the truth about this matter."

Taoist Fu Yu raised his white eyebrows.

His usually amiable face was now devoid of a smile, his eyes were extremely solemn and aggressive:

“If the thing in Xia Ji’s hand is really the important weapon of Dao Ting in the past, let alone the fate of Jiexian Patriarch.

Even if Grandfather Taisu, Master Fire Dragon, Zi Tianmen, Duke Shangluo, Mother Great Xuanzun Yuanmu, Ji Zhengxu and other old members of the Taoist court put aside their past grudges and came out in full force to help the Jiexian Patriarch, it would be difficult to make a big thing small or a small thing disappear!
In the struggle for the great Dao, even if we die, we will definitely have to fight with them!"

The Taoist monk's throat moved, and he couldn't help but feel a little cold in his heart: "But Taifu Palace has always been pure and honest. Even if the new world comes to power in the future--"

"If the Daoting's grand plan could really be accomplished, would the Taifu Palace be given special leniency?"

This time it was Elder Fu Yu who interrupted with a cold voice, saying firmly:

"Who can remain unscathed in this catastrophe?!"

The Taoist monk's mouth twitched, and a bitter look appeared on his face.

After a while, he shook his head in disappointment, clasped his hands together and sighed:

"When this catastrophe occurs, the earth, water, fire and wind will be thrown into disarray. I wonder how many universes will be shattered and how many worlds will be destroyed?
I can only sigh that fate is so uncertain, fate is so uncertain..."

……

at the same time.

The stone forest at the foot of Yangrang Mountain.

When Chen Heng was about to take out the shuttle and move away, there was a sudden sound of wind coming from the front, surging like a tide.

He looked up, but heard the voice before he saw the person.

"Chen Heng, please stay."

The man on the cloud smiled, paused for a moment, and then said:
"There is also the Escape Shuttle. I haven't seen it for a long time..."
