One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 813 Setting Goals

Lao Tzu did not adhere to any particular method, form, tool, or medicinal material when refining elixirs.

These things are even better; they make Him more efficient and easier when refining elixirs.

But even without these, He could still draw spiritual energy from the air with His bare hands and conjure a spiritual pill.

why?
By focusing your vital energy and achieving gentleness, can you become like an infant?
Because Laozi possessed the primordial Qi, which transformed into the Three Pure Ones, evolved into the Four Symbols, generated the Five Elements, and derived the Eight Trigrams.

Everything originates from the initial primordial energy.

This is also the ultimate concept of the Three Ones Sect's Reverse Rebirth Triple Path: to defy one's innate nature and become an immortal.

The spirit and body unite to become the original primordial Qi, which then undergoes endless transformations and becomes the ancestor of all spirits and things.

Unlike Sun Wukong's seventy-two transformations and Erlang Shen's thirty-six transformations, if one can reach the "Primordial Realm," one can transform at will.

It is a transformation, not a change. As long as the transformation is successful using the Primordial Qi, one will completely become that kind of creature.

Transforming into a dragon means becoming a dragon, soaring through the clouds and commanding wind and rain; transforming into a phoenix means becoming a phoenix, possessing five virtues and bestowing morality upon others.

Even if it turns into steel, it can be forged into a magical sword; if it turns into grass and trees, it can take root in the soil and grow.

Hu Xiuwu had already studied the Threefold Reversal of Life and had some understanding of reversing the transformation of [Innate Qi] into [Primordial Qi]. When he saw Laozi, he did not adhere to the categories of herbs and medicines, but simply transformed herbs into innate spiritual essence, and then, according to needs, transformed them into the corresponding Five Elements Qi.

And according to the needs, they work together in a monarch-minister-assistant-envoy manner to refine the elixir into a new immortal pill.

This process is like breaking a porcelain bottle, then firing it again into kaolin, and then using the raw materials to make a new dish or bowl, or even white jade porcelain or blue and white porcelain.

Hu Xiuwu used this principle to refine herbs, using the Samadhi True Fire to extract the essence of the herbs, and then using the Purple Gold Alchemy Furnace to contain all the essence of the herbs, transforming it into the Qi of Geng Metal.

They carved talismans and formations on it, and then used the weapon-forging techniques of the Immortal Sword God Clan to refine it into the legendary sword pellet.

It contains sword energy and can be manipulated freely; it is the finest flying sword pellet.

If the Jia family village, famous in the world of supernatural beings for their manipulation of objects, were to see those seven sword pellets, they would be willing to give up everything to get just one of them.

If one day you were given a sword that would make you invincible, and it were placed before you, you would do the same.

After Hu Xiuwu explained the secret to Nezha, Nezha, being a discerning person, immediately understood the value of the seven sword pellets and wholeheartedly offered them the highest praise:
"You're awesome."

"What are the names of these sword pellets?"

Hu Xiuwu picked up the seven sword pellets, stood up, and casually said their names: "Seven Fiend Sword Pellets".

After saying that, he let go and let the sword pellets fall naturally. Before they hit the ground, a crack appeared in mid-air, dark and deep, turning from a line into a large rift, like a backpack opening its own mouth.

One after another, the seven sword pellets fell into the crevice. After catching all the sword pellets, the crevice closed automatically, and everything returned to normal.

Nezha knew without a doubt that the seven sword pellets had flowed into a certain realm within the Innate Demon Refining Tower.

That's the advantage of pagoda-type magical artifacts: they can suppress enemies and also store resources.

The Heavenly King Li Jing, who carried the Pagoda back then, always used exquisite...

'...Forget it, I don't want to think about him anymore, he's bad luck.'

Nezha quickly shook his head, cutting off his reverie, and looked at Hu Xiuwu seriously:

"You should know why I've come. I can help you overthrow the Heavenly Court, but my mother, sister, and those two good-for-nothing brothers cannot stay in your celestial realm."

Hu Xiuwu nodded: "Of course, I know you are determined and will not obey me just because your mother is a hostage." "I never intended to detain your mother for long."

Nezha will not be coerced. If Nezha's mother is really detained, he would rather fight Hu Xiuwu to the death.

Nezha was very satisfied with Hu Xiuwu's answer and said happily, "What other way do you have to achieve the best of both worlds?"

Clearly, Nezha was too naive and failed to grasp Hu Xiuwu's underlying meaning.

If holding hostages is useful, Hu Xiuwu wouldn't mind keeping Nezha's mother and sister inside the Innate Demon Refining Tower.

Hu Xiuwu's true nature has never been warm; he was once a puppet devoid of all emotions and desires.

However, he knew that after Nezha left the Heavenly Court, he had no other choice. Although the Three Realms were vast, there was nowhere for him to find refuge.

Hu Xiuwu said confidently, "It's very simple. You have your own little world. You can just stay here and take care of your mother and sister."

Nezha scoffed: "Do you think I don't want to? But a movable grotto-heaven is extremely hard to find. There are only a few famous grotto-heaven treasures in the entire Three Realms."

Items like the Yin-Yang Two Qi Bottle, the Purple Gold Gourd, the Jade Purification Bottle, the Fire Crow Bag, and the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King's Exquisite Pagoda are all just magical treasures for storing things. They can only be used to subdue enemies or to store water and fire, but they cannot support people to live in for a long time.

Only Maitreya Buddha's Human Seed Bag, Nuwa's Map of Mountains and Rivers, Subhuti's Square Inch Mountain, and Laozi's Pagoda of Heaven and Earth.

Of the characters mentioned above, how many are Nezha capable of dealing with?

Whose magical treasures could be lent or given to Nezha?
Hu Xiuwu said, "I'll help you!"

"Even if I can't snatch the magic weapon, I can still craft one for you, it just requires some raw materials."

Nezha narrowed his eyes. It was only after witnessing Hu Xiuwu's strength and discovering that he could contend with the Jade Emperor and Laozi that he had the courage to escape from the Heavenly Court, where the atmosphere had become strange.

Furthermore, Hu Xiuwu just demonstrated his weapon-refining abilities. If Hu Xiuwu can help him, Nezha will naturally have a great chance to obtain a magical treasure from a grotto-heaven and protect his family.

Nezha asked expectantly, "So, you have a goal now?"

"Of course, it's right there waiting for us to get it."

Hu Xiuwu pointed westward and said.

In the four continents, the West represents a major power.

Nezha was somewhat surprised, yet also felt that it was indeed the case, since there were only a few forces with magical treasures in their caves.

"You want to steal things from Mount Ling? I heard you've already taken Maitreya Buddha's seed bag."

Hu Xiuwu stomped his foot on the ground: "No one in this world grows bags anymore."

'Understood. He has already integrated the human seed bag into the Innate Demon Refining Tower.'

Nezha understood immediately, and then waited for Hu Xiuwu to give him a goal.

Hu Xiuwu slowly said, "Our goal is the three thousand Buddha kingdoms of Mount Ling."

Nezha thought for a moment, then said decisively, "Let's do it!"

Hu Xiuwu looked at Nezha and asked, "Are you sure you can take action against Mount Ling?"

You should know that in Journey to the West, Nezha should call the Buddha of Mount Ling his godfather.

Nezha said expressionlessly, "My biological father is dead, let alone a godfather."
