Chapter 325: Fifth-Level Secret Door Pillar
Chapter 319: Fifth-Level Secret Door Pillar

It has been quite some time since Han Yue entered the fourth level.

In the two major cultivation routes, whether it is [Star Planting Method] or [Demon Devouring Magic], he has built a certain foundation and made great progress.

Since the last time he parted with Daoji at Jinwuyuan, he had accumulated many questions about cultivation, so he took this opportunity to ask Daoji for advice.

After entering the realm of immortality and enjoying endless life, his determination to practice Taoism remained steadfast, filled with expectations and a desire to explore deeper levels of spiritual practice.

At his current level, his questions about cultivation have moved away from specific cultivation problems, and he is more concerned with some long-term direction choices and some high-level cultivation concepts.

He just opened his mouth and asked:
"Grandmaster, after entering the fourth level, I have never slacked off and have continued to practice diligently."

"Whether it's [Demon Devouring Magic] or [Star Planting Magic], my disciple has made significant breakthroughs. I think I am not inferior to anyone else."

"But I always feel that my practice has no direction, and I always practice here and there."

“Whether it’s condensing Dao fruit, cultivating mana, or refining spiritual treasures, expanding blessed land.”

"Disciples have practiced these subdivided subjects, but I don't feel the same down-to-earth feeling as I did when I made progress in practice below the fourth level."

"In other words, the disciple cannot find the ladder that can truly drive the disciple to advance to the Pure Yang Cave Heaven cultivation level."

"I don't know how to prioritize the choices when faced with so many training options."

"I don't even know whether I should choose between the two major cultivation paths and focus on one of them."

"Please give me some advice, Master."

The Daoji Patriarch listened patiently, sometimes nodded, sometimes pondered, and finally spoke slowly:
“The path of spiritual practice is not a straight line, but a winding one like a sword. We need to be flexible and keep our original aspiration in mind.”

“Although the two major paths of cultivation seem to be different, they actually converge into one. The key lies in your inner choice and persistence.”

"As for the road ahead, it is even simpler. Follow your heart and your sword. Only by following your heart can you go far."

“All the problems you are facing now are caused by the fact that your life is too thin and cannot withstand the erosion of time, which makes you impetuous.”

"You have already traversed the path to immortality from level one to level four. The entire process is like building a ladder to heaven."

"At this stage, every progress you make in your practice is like adding another step to your ladder, leading you onto the path to immortality."

"In this situation, every progress you make has a real sense and a future."

“But after entering the fourth stage of immortality, the feeling of your cultivation path will naturally change!”

"If the fifth-order Pure Yang Path is compared to a wooden barrel, then each of the cultivation subjects you just mentioned is a piece of wood that makes up the barrel."

"Even if you practice a certain skill to perfection, it only constitutes one of the elements for advancement to the fifth level of Pure Yang."

"But the time you have spent practicing is too short, and the accumulated elements are not enough."

"The wooden barrel that makes up your Pure Yang Road doesn't even have a basic shape."

"That's why you feel so empty and unreal right now."

"To sum it up in one sentence, you think too much and do too little!"

"When you have accumulated more experience and have completed the wooden barrel that constitutes your fifth-order path, you will naturally have a different experience."

Dao Ji's advice was very insightful and went straight to the core of Han Yue's problem.

When Han Yue heard this, his mind suddenly became clear, as if a ray of light had penetrated the fog and illuminated the way forward for him.

The path of spiritual practice is not achieved in a day. It requires daily accumulation and gradual development.

He was not unaware of these principles, and he even had some guesses about his current mental dilemma.

However, in the face of the endless practice of the great way, it is inevitable to develop a mentality of worrying about gains and losses and being eager for quick success.

And at this point in time, the role of good teachers and helpful friends can be maximized!
[Daoji] The words of the master are light but powerful, and can help him resolve many of his troubles.

The ancestor continued:
"When it comes to the actual practice of cultivation, whether it is [Demon Devouring Magic] or [Star Planting Method], each path of cultivation has its own unique value and significance. The key lies in whether you can persevere and work hard."

"As one of the disciples of my Shenxiao Palace who has the greatest chance of achieving the Cave Heaven in the past ten thousand years, you must practice and give every path of cultivation a try."

"If you can't tell the priorities and find your center of gravity, then my advice to you is to focus on improving your combat power!"

"This is my advice and advice to every disciple of Shenxiao."

"This void may seem peaceful, but it actually hides murderous intent!"

"You know the style of our Shenxiao Palace. In this void, it can be said that we have made enemies everywhere and are enemies all over the world."

"And you have joined my [Shenxiao Temple System], and with your luck connected, there will definitely be constant disputes and killings along the way."

"In this situation, the only way to cope with potential crises is to ensure our own combat capability and become as strong as possible."

"Even if you now have the [Golden Crow Nine-ringing Bell], your combat power has reached the fifth rank."

"But the way of destiny is the most wonderful. You have assumed the fifth-order position, so you must bear the cause and effect of the fifth-order."

"In your future training, you will naturally face the blade of a fifth-level enemy. This is inevitable."

"Whether you can rely on the combat power improvement brought by the spiritual treasure to overcome the future killing disasters is the core of everything!"

"Therefore, for you now, you should cultivate your own magical powers into forbidden methods and command methods as soon as possible. Only in this way can the power of your own magical powers threaten the existence of the fifth level."

"Secondly, only by condensing the core of killing as soon as possible, can we have enough means to protect the Dao and kill the enemy."

"These cultivation contents are all worth pursuing first!"

"From now on, we, the Divine Sky cultivators, will pursue the direction of our own opportunities and boldly toss around in the void until our cultivation can no longer be improved. Then we can settle down and accumulate slowly."

"Under the premise of giving priority to improving combat power, don't dwell on whether you should take this lesson, whether you can take it, or whether you should take it."

"For us human cultivators, we are inherently weak and rely entirely on practice. If we want to be promoted to Pure Yang, then no matter what secret method we use, as long as it can improve our cultivation, we should practice it!"

"It is normal for a fourth-level immortal to practice all the secret techniques but still be stuck at a bottleneck and make no progress."

"When faced with a bottleneck, we have to try every possible method. You have no right to be picky!"

After listening to the words of the founder Daoji, Han Yue's heart was like a surging sea and river, with great waves and ups and downs, but then gradually calmed down.

He knew very well that what the master said was true, and that every piece of advice was based on a deep insight and understanding of his own practice.

Then, Han Yue asked a very realistic question:
"Grandmaster, my disciple's fourth-order practice has already reached a very deep level. There are already quite a few enemies who have fought with me, and they are all at the peak of the fourth order."

“But my understanding of the fifth-level Pure Yang cultivators is very limited.”

"Now that I have this [Golden Crow Nine-ringing Bell], it is possible for me to cross levels and become an enemy of the fifth-level Pure Yang Cave Heaven True Lord in the future."

"However, how to judge the enemy's cultivation level and combat power level, and what should be paid attention to during the battle, are secrets that I cannot grasp. I would like to ask the Grandmaster to help me solve this puzzle."

Daoji: The Patriarch continued to explain Yuanchu’s question in detail:

"The division of ranks from the first to the fifth level is a way of distinguishing the realms of cultivation that applies to all realms of the void."

"But within each rank, the gap in strength is so huge, I'm sure you also have a deep understanding of this!"

"Just like in the fourth level where you are, those undeveloped blessed lands with only a single-digit [Long Life Element] of demon saints and ghost immortals are also fourth level."

"Those great cultivators who have reached the fourth stage limit and whose [Long Life Essence] has reached 3,000 are also at the fourth stage."

"Like you, you have successfully sacrificed a fifth-level pure yang spiritual treasure while in the fourth level. A cultivator with fifth-level cultivation is also in the fourth level."

“The difference between them is as big as heaven and earth!”

"And when it comes to the fifth-level Pure Yang Cave Heaven, the gap between the cultivators is even more exaggerated!"

"For a fourth-level immortal cultivator, it will upgrade his own blessed land to the level of a cave heaven."

"Gather enough [Dao Fruit] to increase my [Long Life Essence] to over three thousand."

"Finally, I will sublime and condense these three thousand [Long Life Essence] into one [Pure Yang Dao Essence] to achieve a qualitative change in my magic power. From then on, I will have completed my cultivation and advancement to the fifth level of Pure Yang."

“It sounds simple, but whether it is to deduce the blessed land to the cave heaven, or to accumulate three thousand [Long Life Essence], it is an extremely difficult achievement to achieve in practice!”

"However, even if one has reached such a realm, this promotion only meets the minimum requirements of the fifth-level Pure Yang."

"From the perspective of strength, the Pure Yang Master, who has only completed the Dao Yuan qualitative transformation and the opening of the cave heaven, is naturally the one with the lowest cultivation and combat power among the five levels."

"The fifth-level combat power that you can reach with the [Golden Crow Nine-ringing Bell] belongs to this category."

"There are also the most number of fifth-order beings at this level."

"A large number of fifth-level demon clan True Lords, void demons, and human clan great cultivators are at this stage."

"I once had an incarnation that, in the Yuxiao Realm, cooperated with the incarnation of Jackdaw to kill a fifth-rank Kunpeng."

"That [Kunpeng] belongs to the lowest level of fifth-order pure yang cultivation."

"In the eyes of fifth-level cultivators like me, this kind of cultivator, although he has crossed the threshold of cultivation in Chunyang Cave Heaven, has only just entered the door and has not truly started the fifth-level cultivation."

"This level of Pure Yang cultivators are called [Door]!" "With your strength, with the blessing of the fifth-level spiritual treasure, you can still try to fight with this [Door] cultivator."

"In this void, the number of fifth-order beings is already quite rare."

"Among them, 90% are doors."

"For an ordinary fifth-tier sect or a low-tier [temple system], it is already quite difficult to have a [door] to suppress the luck."

“Among the ten [Doors], there are only one or two who can make a breakthrough in the fifth level of cultivation.”

"If the [MenFeng] monks can continue to sublimate the [Dao Fruit] they have accumulated and grow the roots of the Dao, they can push their own fifth-order cultivation forward and advance to a new stage."

"This stage is usually called the [pillar] or the [pillar]!"

"One [pillar] can independently support a large realm, or a large [temple system]."

"The strength of this [pillar] is ten or a hundred times greater than that of the [door], and the number is also much smaller."

"You and I captured two fifth-level Golden Crows in the Golden Crow Plain. The Night Light Golden Crow has reached the Pillar realm, which can be considered to be extremely powerful."

"That [Daytime] Golden Crow is only one step away from the [Pillar] realm. The root of its great path has been condensed to a great degree, and it only needs the final polishing."

“Normally speaking, the status of these [Pillars] is extremely high. They are the core of major void organizations. You will never encounter them easily.

"If you are unlucky enough to encounter one, run away if you can. If you can't, then you can use the tiger skin of my Shenxiao Palace to see if you can scare the other party away with the strength and reputation of my sect's thirteen [pillars]."

Having said this, Dao Ji also told Yuan Chu many secrets of the fifth level Pure Yang stage.

The classification of the ranks of [doors] and [pillars] also fascinated Han Yue.

Seeing that [Dao Ji] stopped, Han Yue hurriedly continued to ask:

"Ancestor, how can I distinguish which cultivators are [Pillars]?"

"As you said, if the [Door] wants to be promoted to [Pillar], it needs to condense the root of the Great Dao. What is this root of the Great Dao?"

Dao Ji then continued:
"When you and the fourth-level warriors encounter Door and Pillar, you all feel that their pure Yang power is too strong to be defeated."

"But only after you reach the fifth level of [Door] cultivation, can you appreciate the power of [Pillar]!"

"When you see the Pillar and experience the ultimate of the Tao and the all-round suppression of your own magical power, you will naturally understand it without me having to explain more."

"As for the root of the great way, it can only be understood, not explained!"

"This thing is the power of your [Tao Fruit]. It will continue to evolve and enter a new realm before the ultimate Tao is born!"

"It is the final masterpiece of the monk's great practice."

"There is no fixed rule for the root of this great way. As long as you can carry the ultimate of the way, you can achieve your goal."

“Just like the thirteen [pillars] of my Shenxiao Palace, they all come from the same sect and even practice the same inheritance, but the roots of the great ways they have refined are extremely different!”

"Among the thirteen of us, half of us have formed the [Great Dao Celebration Cloud], which can be said to have infinite Dao rhyme and is the ultimate natural manifestation of the Great Dao."

"There are also [Ba Chong] and [Hun Yuan], both of whom have cultivated [Immortal Dao Body]. They use the limits of their physical bodies to carry the ultimate meaning of the Dao. They are also extremely strong and powerful, and their combat power is unparalleled."

"And that Jackdaw, who used his sword skills to train a Five Elements Sword of Extermination, is even more lethal and unparalleled in its sharpness!"

"When you have cultivated to that point, the Great Dao will guide you and form the roots of the Great Dao that belong to you alone."

"Your understanding of these things now is only to broaden your horizons, but it is of no use to your actual practice."

"When you have formed the root of the Great Dao and become the [pillar], you will reach the realm of true immortality. At that time, you are the Dao, and the Dao contains you. Man and the Dao are one. Even if you die ten thousand times, you can still live a new life from the Great Dao."

"At this point, unless we destroy the world and shatter the avenue, we can only suppress it and cannot completely destroy the Pillar."

"And its combat power has also reached the extreme of the void, far beyond the reach of the [Door]."

Han Yue listened to the Grand Master Daoji describing the grand blueprint and realm of fifth-order cultivation. In just a few words, he was fascinated!

He couldn't help but speak again:
"Ancestor, I wonder if there is a realm above this [pillar]? Is there any ancestor in my Shenxiao Palace who has achieved a realm above the [pillar]?"

Dao Ji pondered for a moment and then said:
"The scenery above this Pillar is something I have never seen before. The Pillar has reached the limit of the Dao, and the inheritance of my Divine Sky Palace also stops here. Going up further depends on your own ability."

"Everyone has different perceptions of this realm, and they are practicing it in different ways."

"Some people try to gather more roots of the Great Dao, broaden the connotation of their own Great Dao, and then refine and integrate the true meaning of these Great Daos, hoping to create a new Great Dao."

"Someone tried to re-refine the Great Dao, using his own cultivation results to change the Void Heavenly Dao and transform himself into the Dao."

"There are also people who go beyond this void and create their own worlds, transform themselves into outsiders, and evolve new methods."

"When we monks reach the Pillar stage, no one will stop moving forward. We will try every possible way to continue climbing up."

"In my Shenxiao Palace, all thirteen [Pillars], without exception, have left this void, taking the path of creating their own worlds, transforming into external ways, and evolving new methods."

"As for the reason behind this, you will know it when you reach this level. No matter how much I say now, it will be useless!"

"This road leads to the void, and few people return. As for how well you have cultivated, only you know it, and others have no way of understanding it."

"After your predecessors left the void, even if they came back, they all relied on a magical power to transform into an incarnation."

"I have never seen their true form, so it is difficult for me to comment on their specific cultivation."

"Wait until you are outside the void, then go and ask in person!"

When Dao Ji said this, another stream of Five Elements magic power from the Demon God Palace gathered and began to revolve around the two of them.

This is to drive Dao Ji away early!
The Shenxiao Palace has a very bad reputation in this void.

Putting an incarnation of the True Lord Shenxiao in his stomach, the spirit of the [Demon God Palace] always felt that a pack of mad Shenxiao dogs would rush in and eat him alive in the next second.

It just wanted to get rid of this clone of [Daoji] as soon as possible and could not bear it any longer.

[Daoji] is just the incarnation of magical power who has descended here, and Shenxiao Palace has no intention of occupying this [Yaoshen Palace] by force.

There was no need for him to really make things difficult for the spirit of the weapon.

So, Dao Ji spoke to Han Yue again:

“Yuanchu, I will stop here and immediately disperse my Yuanling here.”

"You should control these nine divinely forbidden [Pure Yang Dao Yuan] well."

"Don't forget to go to the Void Market in five hundred years and help us refine the Pure Yang Spirit Treasure."

“The path of spiritual practice is long and difficult, but as long as there is light in your heart, there is a way under your feet.”

"You have extraordinary potential and talent. As long as you persevere, you will achieve something."

"I'll wait for you on level five!"

[Dao Ji] said these words, and he no longer lingered, but left with great decisiveness.

He saw that all his spiritual essence that had been integrated into the nine divine prohibitions collapsed, and then he exploded on the spot and turned into ashes.

Immediately afterwards, the nine divine bans also underwent drastic deformation.

Without Daoji's spiritual power gathering, these divine prohibitions could no longer maintain their original extremely condensed state.

It collapsed directly like a broken hemp rope.

Above the sky, only nine clusters of extremely dense [Pure Yang Dao Yuan] remained.

These nine powerful fifth-order magical powers were condensed by Daoji, the pillar who specialized in thunder magic.

It contains countless great truths related to thunder.

In particular, it contains rich true meaning of the innate [Destruction] Dao, which is most suitable for Han Yue's practice of the fundamental Dao!
These nine [Pure Yang Dao Yuan] can be said to be Han Yue’s second largest single gain in history!
Second only to the [Golden Crow Nine-ring Bell] that he obtained!
He just rushed forward, swept out his magic power, and directly swallowed the nine [Pure Yang Dao Yuan] into his stomach.

He filled one of the Dao Yuan into [Pangu's Intestine], and it was absorbed and refined by his own flesh and blood [Dao Fruit].

He filled a Dao Yuan into the [Honghuang] Dao Fruit, adding the true meaning of the infinite Thunder Dao to his own cave heaven and greatly enhancing its original foundation.

As for the remaining seven [Pure Yang Dao Yuan], he filled them all into his own fundamental blessed land [End Universe·Sun-Devouring Black Hole].

The attributes of this Dao Yuan are most consistent with the attributes of one's own blessed land.

This enormous magical power can advance the evolution of the [End Universe] by a big step forward!

It is only one step away from achieving the cave heaven in the [End Universe].

After completing the distribution of [Dao Yuan], Han Yue felt that his own magic power was extremely abundant and he was in a very good state.

And that [Golden Crow Nine-ring Bell] was sinking into his soul, emitting torrents of heat that made his whole body feel comfortable.

At this moment, Han Yue has greater confidence in his fighting ability and is extremely eager to fight.

He simply turned into a ray of light, flew out of the sixth floor of the [Demon God Palace], and headed straight for the seventh floor guarded by the [Evil Star]!

Qingxuan's good friend is still enduring the pain of skinning and cramps, waiting for him to come and rescue him!
