Taoist Master wants to live forever

Chapter 519: Look within yourself, not outsiders

Among the Golden Immortals of the present age, which one did not practice for tens or even millions of years before achieving something? Even tens of millions of years is not uncommon.

Wen Lianggong slapped Yu Mi so hard that she couldn't help but let out a low cry.

"I'm asking you how to guard your heart and realize it, not how to destroy the stage."

Yu Mi was silent for a moment, then said, "If I were to tell you, my only request is for you to let me out."

Wen Lianggong's eyes sparkled as he listened. Sure enough, this girl was pregnant with something. She was once a Golden Immortal. Even though it was only a remnant of her soul, it was still a remnant of a Golden Immortal after all.

"No problem. I can even use a top-grade immortal crystal to rebuild your body and nourish your soul. If you use it properly, your remaining soul may have a chance to give birth to a perfect three souls and seven spirits, so that you can embark on the path of cultivation again and live another life."

Yu Mi's eyelashes trembled slightly when she heard this. She tried to remain calm, and looked at Wen Lianggong carefully and deeply before she spoke slowly.

This sermon lasted for three days. Wen Lianggong's heart trembled slightly, and he suddenly became enlightened and finally understood the way forward.

When Yu Mi stopped, Wen Lianggong stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Thank you for the teaching!"

Yu Mi frowned and looked at the long stick hanging from Wen Lianggong's lower body.

"Can you please put on your clothes while you salute?"

Wen Lianggong smiled a little embarrassedly: "Sorry, I'm a little used to it."

Yu Mi didn't care. After all, both sides had seen enough and had tried all kinds of interesting things, so there was naturally no embarrassment.

When he was about to wake up, Wen Lianggong said rather shyly: "Why not do it again? If I reshape your body, you won't have such emotions anymore."

Yu Mi was stunned when he heard this, and then he cursed angrily: "I have been preaching to dogs these three days. Don't you know...?"

A day later, Wen Lianggong woke up feeling refreshed.

Facing the rising sun, Wen Lianggong pondered for a moment, and with a slight movement of his mind, the rising purple air brought by the three suns between heaven and earth gathered in his palm. After another day, when two moons were in the same sky, he waved his other hand, and the essence of the moon leaked out like mercury, fell on the top of the tower, and then turned into moon marrow flowing in his palm.

After doing all this, a top-grade fairy crystal appeared in front of him out of thin air. In just a breath, the surrounding area was quickly filled with extremely pure fairy energy.

Then, under Wen Lianggong's spiritual power, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth quickly converged.

A Samadhi True Fire appeared under the top-grade fairy crystal. In just a few breaths, it melted it into liquid, and then added the essence of the sun and the moon.

As Wen Lianggong thought about it, the liquid transformed from this top-grade immortal crystal began to disperse and take on a human shape.

"Well, it needs to be bigger... the layout needs to be more attractive... it would be better if it is more upturned, but the pelvis cannot be tilted forward..."

After kneading seriously for two hours, Wen Lianggong finally stopped with satisfaction, and then pulled Yu Mi out of the cage trapped in his heart.

With strong will, he gathered the remnant soul that was about to dissipate and injected it into the body he was shaping before his eyes.

Wen Lianggong stared closely, constantly adjusting the movements slightly to make his body and the residual soul better fit and their frequencies more in sync.

It was a long time, until a subtle fluctuation of the soul spread out along with the blood flowing in the body in front of him, showing active vitality and even breathing, and Wen Lianggong's brows relaxed slightly.

Although the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art also includes similar techniques for mediating fate, this is the first time for a single old lady to get into a bridal sedan, so one needs to watch carefully to understand the key points.

Yu Mi's body was casually placed aside, leaving it to sleep. It would take at least seven days or at most a month for this remnant soul to merge with the body.

It will remain dormant during this process, so just don't worry about it.

After getting up, Wen Lianggong walked to the railing as usual and looked into the distance. From here, he could see a hundred miles away.

He did not use his spiritual sense to explore, but was in a daze for a long time before he came to his senses and carefully recalled what Yu Mi had told him in his dream.

Seek things from the outside and you will be as good as ever. Seek things from the inside and you will be as fresh as ever. Look into your heart and you will find that you are already complete. Look at all things and you will be as open-minded as a valley.

Look within yourself, don’t rely on external things.

My nature is self-sufficient and I do not need to seek help from outside.

However, one cannot just seek within oneself blindly. Once one seeks within oneself too much, one will become like the Supreme Being who forgets all emotions. One will lose all feelings and desires, and will be left with only a conscious but emotionless seeking machine.

You need to strike a balance in the middle.

Only in this way can you guard your heart.

Buddhism says that inside and outside are originally one, so why differentiate between them? Once you differentiate between inside and outside, all kinds of thoughts will arise and become numerous and distracting. This is a fall from grace and you will ultimately be unable to keep your mind focused.

But Taoism requires one to be extremely empty and maintain deep tranquility.

Empty yourself of everything and keep quiet.

But in Yu Mi's words, one should look within oneself, without relying on external things.

This is the true intention of the Golden Immortal.

This is the ultimate of idealism. As long as my will does not perish, the world will not perish.

I am also immortal. Even if the world perishes, I will still exist.

Immortal, eternal, unique, you should obtain great freedom and great ease.

Wen Lianggong stood by the railing, watching the sun rise and the moon set, and he stood there for a month.

Suddenly, he felt the shackles in his heart loosen, and a flash of inspiration came to him, allowing him to touch the threshold of keeping to the right path.

Coming back to his senses, Wen Lianggong suddenly realized.

"That's it, that's it..."

After a long time, Wen Lianggong calmed down and wiped away the tears that overflowed from the corners of his eyes.

When he turned around and walked into the house, Que saw that Yu Mi, who was originally lying on the ground, had disappeared, leaving only a letter.

With a quick sweep of his spiritual sense, Wen Lianggong saw the contents clearly.

Yu Mi left behind a message saying that she had woken up after a seven-day sleep. Her body and soul were in perfect harmony, so she woke up after seven days. She was grateful for this. Since she had not seen the sun for many years, she wanted to go out and wander around. See you later.

"It has not seen the light of day for many years..."

Wen Lianggong laughed in silence, but it was indeed the fact. After all, Yu Mi failed to possess his body and was locked in his heart for tens of thousands of years. It was also thanks to Yu Mi's strong character and heart that he did not go crazy because of gains and losses and was still alive and kicking and wanted to see around.

Wen Lianggong didn't care. He just opened his mouth and inhaled. The essence of heaven and earth that had been there for more than a month was absorbed into his body like a whale, quickly repairing his injuries and increasing his magic power.

"It's still not enough."

Wen Lianggong muttered to himself.

He set up a spirit gathering formation that spread across the world, gathering 99% of the vital energy in the territory of Daxia here. Now, there are nearly 30 million people under his rule, but it is still too much for him. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is just a drop in the bucket.

But Wen Lianggong knew that this matter could not be rushed.

Three years ago, when Daxia was first established, there was a lot of work to be done. If it forcibly launched an attack on the surrounding countries, it would be dragged into the quagmire. If this continued for a long time, the newly established national system framework would probably collapse quickly.
