Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 409: My Dharma image has been advanced by another version?
“Why thank me? Since you call me Master, I will naturally protect you. You are different from Qinglan. You are destined to follow me to the fairyland. When the great catastrophe comes in the future, you will not be spared. Practice more. Your current strength is considered first-rate in the mortal world, but when you enter the fairyland, you can't even be a heavenly soldier.” Jade Ding Zhenren looked at Ji Ren and said.

"Disciple will remember your teachings and practice diligently." Ji Ren said with a little grievance.

He has only been practicing for two years and has no resources. It's too difficult for him to become an immortal in two years.

"Master, can I go to the fairyland with you?"

Qiao Qingyin, who had been watching the show on the side, seized the opportunity and spoke.

The fairyland is where there are fairies.

It must be more interesting than the mortal world.

She, Qiao Qingyin, is really going to become a fairy.

"Master? You change your title so quickly?" Jade Ding Zhenren looked at Qiao Qingyin with amusement.

Qiao Qingyin immediately showed a well-behaved and cute look.

Jade Ding Zhenren was even more amused. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed slightly. He looked at Qiao Qingyin carefully, then looked at Qiao Qingyu who was standing beside him and said, "Have you absorbed any extremely yin or yang spiritual objects recently?"

"Qingyin and I absorbed two auras in the secret realm. After waking up, both of us became Heavenly Kings." Qiao Qingyu explained.

“It’s the yin and yang energy in the Winged Fairy’s Yin and Yang Energy Bottle.” Ji Ren explained further.

"Yin and Yang Qi?" Upon hearing this, Jade Ding Zhenren's face suddenly changed. He waved his hand and a ball of clear air flew out of his hand, covering Qiao Qingyu and Qiao Qingyin. Then the clear air dissipated. Jade Ding Zhenren said with amazement, "The innate Yin and Yang Qi is extremely pure and has infinite magical uses. Even I would be tempted. I never thought that you two would have such good fortune. Not only can you encounter it, but you can also merge with it and turn it into a part of your body. Now that the Yin and Yang Qi have merged with you, you have been reborn. Next, even if you don't do anything, you can enter the extraordinary within a year."

"Reach the transcendent level within a year?" Qiao Qingyin's voice suddenly changed.

Although she was extremely talented, she had always felt that being a king of heaven was already a great achievement for her. It would be even more amazing if she could become a top-notch power like the Moon Goddess and establish a powerful force like the Moon Worship Palace.

I never thought about becoming extraordinary.

And now, she will be able to enter the extraordinary realm next year?

Nineteen-year-old Chaofan broke the record again.

"Yeah." Jade Ding Zhenren nodded slightly, very calmly.

Extraordinary, according to the fairy world, he is a half-immortal.

As the name suggests, a half-immortal is not an immortal.

In the fairyland, the boys who served Jade Ding Zhenren were all fairies.

Even a half-immortal is not qualified to see him.

"Then shall my sister and I enter the fairyland together?" Qiao Qingyin said excitedly.

“Yes, but not now. Otherwise, if people know that the two of you have absorbed the Yin and Yang energies, they will directly refine you two into pills, return to the origin, and refine the Yin and Yang pills again.” said Master Yu Ding.

The innate yin and yang energies have infinite uses.

If it had no owner, even Jade Ding Zhenren would be tempted, let alone others.

Killing people for treasure is not uncommon in the fairy world.

"Turning people into pills? Is this the fairyland?" Qiao Qingyin was horrified when she heard this.

Making pills out of living people and taking them, how can this be called the fairyland?

"What else? If the fairyland is really full of birdsong and flowers, and beautiful everywhere, then can we still meet our master?" Ji Ren said.

A world without worries, without troubles, without fighting, but with infinite happiness, that only exists in books and in people's mouths.

Qiao Qingyin was stunned for a moment, then she remembered that Jade Ding Zhenren was plotted against by the people from the fairy world, and then was beaten and lost his memory. If the fairy world was really beautiful, then how could they possibly see Jade Ding Zhenren?

"Please give me some help, sir, and give me some advice." Qiao Qingyu bowed immediately.

"We are all family, there is no need to be so polite. You should learn this from your sister. She is much more rude than you." Jade Ding Zhenren chuckled, then formed his fingers into swords and drew talismans in the air. Two talisman shadows flew into Qiao Qingyu and Qiao Qingyin's bodies respectively. "My cultivation is not good now, so this talisman can only cover it up so that the True Immortal cannot see the depth. When my cultivation is restored, I will cast talismans for you."

"Thank you, Master." Ji Ren smiled.

"It's just a small effort. Compared to being discovered in the fairyland, you should actually worry about something else. The innate yin and yang energy is too strong, far exceeding the upper limit of their two Dharma images. If it continues at this rate, in three years, their Dharma images will be shattered because they can't withstand the power of the innate yin and yang energy, and they will also perish." Jade Ding Zhenren said. "So, Master, where can I find a Dharma image suitable for Qingyu Qingyin, and how can I replace it?" Ji Ren's face tightened slightly, but he still said calmly.

If Jade Ding Zhenren had not recovered his memory, he would certainly be at a loss at this moment. The mythical Dharma images are difficult to find. So far, Ji Ren has only discovered three, two of them are his and one is Kang Zhong's. It is not easy to find a mythical Dharma image suitable for Qiao Qingyu and Qiao Qingyin, but doesn't he have his own master now?
Jade Ding Zhenren looked very calm, which showed that he could handle it.

"It's difficult. The two of them have now obtained the yin and yang energies, and have been reborn, returning from the acquired to the innate. If they can obtain the sister's Dharma image and then use the Dharma images to cooperate with each other, their future achievements may not be inferior to yours. But such a Dharma image is hard to find." said Jade Ding Zhenren.

“That means it can be found.” Ji Ren said.

It is difficult, but there is hope that it can be done.

Although there are few sister images, they do exist.

The most famous ones are Ehuang and Nuying. If there is no limit on the number, there are also the Seven Fairies, the twelve daughters of Emperor Jun and Changxi, the Three Sisters, etc.

"There are three methods. The first one is to search. The two of them have good luck. If they wander around the world, perhaps they can find a Dharma image that suits them. This world is a little different. It is just an ordinary human world, but it is full of mysteries. The second way is that I can teach each of them an immortal secret. After they have mastered the immortal method, the way of heaven will be moved and a Dharma image will condense. The third way is to wait for the catastrophe to come and the destiny of heaven will change." said Jade Ding Zhenren.

"When the immortal method is accomplished, the heaven will be moved, and the Dharma image will naturally condense?" Ji Ren was surprised when he heard this, "Teacher, can the Dharma image be born out of thin air?"

"What do you think the Dharmadhatu is?" asked Jade Ding Zhenren.

“Dharma-image is a gift from heaven and earth, and a combination of the inheritance of the will of ancient heroes. Condensing the Dharma-image, observing the ancient heroes, inheriting their will, bearing the cause and effect, and gaining the power of ghosts and gods is the foundation of transcendence, but it is also the bondage of heaven and earth. Condensing the Dharma-image, being pulled by fate, it is easy to immerse oneself in the emotions of the Dharma-image and lose oneself…” Ji Ren said.

Comprehend the Dharma and gain extraordinary power.

But he was also bound by the relationships that Fashang had during his lifetime. For example, the formation of the Wei Wang Party and the Han Wang Party in the current court of Da Qi was inseparable from Fashang's contribution. There were also Ji Ren and Jade Ding Zhenren. When Jade Ding Zhenren was still Zhuge Yuquan, a large part of his favor for Ji Ren came from Fashang.

“Don’t recite my words, tell me what you understand?” Jade Ding Zhenren looked at Ji Ren with dissatisfaction.

"Master, this is my understanding. A good teacher produces good students. As your disciple, I naturally have to follow in your footsteps!" Ji Ren said.

“Following my steps does not mean just learning my techniques, but learning my ways and exploring all unknown things. Especially when you condense the Dharma image and have the wisdom given by God, it will allow you to see through all illusions and trace them back to their sources.” Jade Ding Zhenren shook his head.

"According to ancient rumors, the goddess Nuwa created humans based on herself. However, Nuwa has a body, so who created it?" Ji Ren asked in return, "People wonder where the heaven and earth came from, so there are creator gods who opened up the heavens and the earth. Then who created the creator gods? If we keep exploring, there are sources and there are endless sources. The heavens and the earth have their own laws. I understand the laws and am familiar with the laws of the Dharma. I can summarize them."

This game is set in the "Dharmakaya Era". Dharmakakaya is the foundation of practice. This is the setting.

Just like the action of force is mutual, this is an objective law.

Ji Ren really never bothered about this objective law.

Upon hearing this, Jade Ding Zhenren frowned slightly and said, "It's not that you are wrong, but the Great Dao is infinite, and immortality is endless. If one day you feel that you know enough and don't continue to explore, then it means that your path of cultivation is interrupted."

"Thank you for your guidance, Master. When I become immortal, I will go and see the world." Ji Ren said.

Jade Ding Zhenren heard the implication of Ji Ren's words. He wanted to achieve immortality first, and then talk about the scenery of the world. He was not demanding and continued, "You also said that the Dharma images are gifts from heaven and earth, but the gifts from heaven and earth are also different. The Dharma images you see here, although there are five levels of white, green, blue, purple, and gold, are all mortal Dharma images, not sacred, and are not special to heaven and earth. However, the Dharma images in the immortal world are different. The meaning of the Dharma images in the immortal world is the meaning of the immortals and gods, especially the Dharma images of you and me, which are formed by the laws of heaven and earth, and the six emperors of heaven are even more transformed by their fate. These Dharma images are not only Dharma images, but also the embodiment of the rules of heaven and earth."

Ji Ren nodded. Just like the ancient legend, Lord Haotian is the personification of the Way of Heaven.

"The world is ruthless and does not care about right or wrong, nor does it distinguish between good and evil. However, cultivators have emotions, so cultivators realize the Tao, achieve the Tao, and create the Tao." Jade Ding Zhenren continued.

“Master, what you mean is that when one’s cultivation reaches a certain level, one becomes the Tao, and therefore can control the gifts of heaven and earth?” Ji Ren said.

"Yes, in this world, there are only a handful of people with this level of cultivation, but your master is one of them. My Chan sect has three thousand wonderful methods. Those with outstanding comprehension and extraordinary talent can condense the ancient golden immortal Dharma image, which is taught by your master. They can achieve immortality, transcend the Three Realms, and are not in the Five Elements. Even those with poor comprehension can practice wonderful methods, and the heaven and earth will condense their own Dharma images. But the achievements of this kind of Dharma images are limited. Most of them are orange, and a few are tricolor. The achievements are limited." said Jade Ding Zhenren.

Ji Ren nodded. This was the last resort. He would not choose it unless he had no other choice. However, after listening to Master Yu Ding's words, Ji Ren asked curiously, "Master, the Dharma images in the mortal world are divided into white, green, blue, purple, and gold. How are the Dharma images in the heavenly world divided?"

"The Dharma images in the heaven are colorful, the lowest is orange, no color, not in the mainstream, three colors, third rate, five colors, second rate, seven colors, first rate, nine colors, which is the Tao." said Jade Ding Zhenren.

“The Dharma images in the heavenly realm are divided into five types from low to high: orange, three colors, five colors, seven colors, and nine colors?” Ji Ren said while looking at Jade Ding Zhenren.

"Yes, this was decided by your great-grandmaster." said Jade Ding Zhenren.

Upon hearing this, Ji Ren secretly glanced at the blackened image of Gonggong in his palace and asked.

If it is divided into these five categories, how do I calculate it?
Orange is turning black?

Or does it mean that all the colors come together and finally become black?

Colorful black?
