Chapter 429: Dragon and Tiger Golden Clothes, Great Qian Yuan

The light is vague, seemingly real and unreal, hovering up and down, flowing east and west.

Sometimes it flows steadily like a stream, and sometimes it bursts into pieces and scatters into bright dots.

In Xue Jing's sight, he saw the black and white qi change many times, and finally trembled, and then both qi disappeared, and a hazy golden robe suddenly appeared on Chen Heng's body.

The dress is gorgeous in shape, as if woven from strands of gorgeous gold threads, and decorated with dragon and tiger patterns, which are lifelike. The two beasts seem to be swaying their heads and tails in the wind, which looks quite mysterious.

Xue Jing raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help feeling curious.

Those who can firmly hold the position of an elder with real power in Yuchen Sect are certainly not just ordinary people.

They were once the best of the four lower houses, the young talents of Xudu Dongzhou. They had sung their names at the foot of Qiyun Mountain, had their names recorded in the annual evaluations, and had enjoyed great glory. They were truly the best of the time!

And the fact that Xue Jing held a high position and enjoyed power and fame in the Ten Directions Hall with just his primordial spirit body was even more extraordinary.

But even so, in Xue Jing's opinion, this unfamiliar golden-robed Taoist art is still very desirable. One can even vaguely see some artistic conception of yin and yang being not established, and being colorless and without thread, which can be said to be full of magical charm!
It should be noted that this method is not a kind of supernatural power, but only a middle-level Taoist technique. It is not even a high-level Taoist technique, but it already has such a form and spirit.

If you further improve it, ponder and refine it.

Given time, this golden-robed Taoist technique may be able to be promoted to the level of supernatural powers and become a true immortal supernatural power!
In fact, thinking of this, with Xue Jing's intelligence, he also had a vague guess in his mind.

However, this guess was a bit too bizarre, so he secretly denied it and was not in a position to ask directly.

"Master Xue really has a keen eye for Dharma."

Chen Heng smiled and said, "As you think, this golden robe technique is exactly what I have created recently. Unfortunately, even with the guidance of my mentor, I have not been able to perfect this technique to the highest level. I can only barely reach the level of the middle level. I am already not strong enough to support it. Please forgive me for making fun of me."

"Is it really so?"

Xue Jing was shocked, but luckily he was very shrewd and did not show any abnormality on his face. He just bowed and congratulated him.

Since Xue Jing claimed to be proficient in all arts, most of the magical powers and Taoist techniques in the Taoist Records Hall were naturally memorized by him.

The Golden Robe Taoist magic is so magnificent that if he had seen it before, he would have an impression of it.

But there is no such memory in my mind. Thinking about it, it can only be Chen Heng's own creation, except that it was obtained by chance.

The latter seemed a bit strange to Xue Jing.

It should be noted that it has only been about half a year since Chen Heng succeeded in making the elixir. With just this short period of time, he has created a middle-level Taoist technique that also contains wonderful principles. Even with the guidance of a great master, it is indeed an extraordinary feat.

"Between the first-grade golden elixir and the third-grade golden elixir...is the gap between the two really so huge?" Xue Jing thought deeply.

Thinking back to the creation of my own method when I was at the Golden Elixir realm, although it was also a middle-level Taoist technique, it took several years of hard work, and the difficulties involved are beyond the imagination of others.

And in terms of its mysticalness, it is also inferior to the golden clothes in front of me, just like the thatched cottage is compared to the magnificent residence...

Xue Jing shook his head slightly, quickly collected his thoughts, and asked:

"May I ask, sir, what is the name of this magic?"

Chen Heng hesitated for a moment and said, "Dragon-Tiger Golden Robe."

"Golden Elixir Creation Method, this way, it seems that the Immortal is planning to achieve the Dharma Image of the Primordial Spirit... I would like to congratulate the Immortal!"

Xue Jing complimented him at first, but then he hesitated after seeing the golden-clad figure. Finally, he became curious and asked carefully:
"Please forgive me for being so presumptuous and saying one more thing. I wonder what kind of Dharma you want to attain in the future?"

"Master Xue, why are you so polite? You can just speak frankly about this matter." Chen Heng smiled and said, "The classic I study is the "Xuanzhong Taiwu Ziran Kaiyuan Jinglu" among the three classics."

"Xuanzhong Sutra, the first of the three sutras..."

Xue Jing repeated the name twice. When he saw Chen Heng nod slightly, his expression suddenly changed. He hurriedly took two steps forward and finally cried out:
"Could it be the Great Qian Yuan?!"

"Exactly."

After these words were spoken, there was a moment of silence in the room. Not a sound could be heard even if a pin drop was heard.

Half a while later, cheers suddenly rang out from under the clouds, as if the crow ghost in the city had surrendered, and the place became lively.

Xue Jing seemed to have just woken up from a dream, with a complicated expression on his face.

He immediately bowed down on the steps without caring about his status, and said excitedly:

"The Xuanzhong Sutra is the most respected! I didn't expect that the real person would have such great ambitions. I really admire you! If there is anything I can do for you, please feel free to give me instructions. I am willing to do my best to support you!"

Seeing Xue Jinglai lose his composure like this, Chen Heng was slightly startled. He realized that he had obviously underestimated the title of "Great Qianyuan" and hurried forward to help him up.

"Now that I have just achieved the golden elixir, it is still too early for me to reach the primordial spirit. Creating the dragon and tiger golden clothes with the golden elixir is just a precaution."

Seeing Xue Jing hesitate to speak, Chen Heng smiled and added:
"However, the Xuanzhong Sutra is too profound, and the Great Qianyuan is too deep to be fathomed. If you have any questions, I'm afraid I'll have to bother Master Xue."

"If you call me, I will fight to the death!" Xue Jing clenched his fist and responded loudly.

……

……

In the orthodox practice of immortality, after the third level of golden elixir, it is the realm of primordial spirit.

Once this state is achieved, one can gradually absorb the truth and condense the Dharma image.

It corresponds to the sky above, the earth below and humans in the middle. The so-called primordial spirit is the externalization of the cultivator's own Tao fruit. It has infinite natural power and can drive away disasters and eliminate death.

Compared with those who have reached the Golden Elixir stage, their primordial spirit has already jumped to another world!
Just like the nine grades of golden elixir, there is naturally an order of high and low in the Dharma appearance of the primordial spirit, and was divided into four levels by the ancient saints: low, middle, high, and lowest.

The inferior Dharma-nature is dim, the white snow and yellow buds are at odds with each other, and water and fire cannot complement each other. It is the worst of the four Dharma-natures.

The medium Dharma appearance is of harmony between heaven and earth, and of auspiciousness and luck. It is like the water of an inland river, which can nourish hundreds of spirits but is ultimately bound by the embankment and cannot be free.

The highest level of Dharma appearance is connected by a hidden energy, like the sun in the sky, illuminating the earth and illuminating everywhere. However, there is eventually a cycle of day and night, and when the light goes out, darkness arises. It is beautiful, but ultimately not perfect.

Only the supreme Dharma-nature arises from the beginningless, is born from the wonderful one, and is divided into three origins. It is like a true saint among immortals, always pure and quiet, and has its origin not obscured by all the old contaminated states.

Born from nothing, with spiritual light that can transform into everything, why should we fear being contaminated by worldly affairs?
This kind of Dharma image is the best among the four levels of Dharma images of the primordial spirit. It is the record of a cultivator’s future immortality and the foundation for ascension!
As a major sect that has been passed down from the pre-Ancient Dao Court era to the present day, Yuchen's twenty-five orthodox laws are well-known and heard by all the heavens and universes. Among them, the three classics and five scriptures, which are the classics of cultivation, are truly high-level and profound scriptures that lead directly to the supreme immortal way.

The three Yuchen Sutras are:

"The Mysterious Taiwu Natural Kaiyuan Sutra", "The Jiuling Cave Jidu Zhaoxuan Sutra", and "The Secret of Gaoxu".

The five canons are:

"Kunyu Baolu", "Hunsu Yuanzhi", "Forty-nine True Shapes Diagram", "Qianxu Book", and "Six Pure True Scriptures".

The Three Classics and Five Classics are all books on becoming immortals, and they all record how to cultivate the highest level of primordial spirit and Dharma.

But since the Xuanzhong Jinglu is the first of the three scriptures, it is naturally unique and miraculous, which makes it different from other immortal scriptures!
Such as the "Jiulingdong Jidu Zhaoxuanjing" among the three sutras.

This sutra records a total of nine methods of achieving the primordial spirit's Dharma images, which are divided into two categories of supreme Dharma images, "The Thunders of the State and the Gods" and "Light Floating in the Sky", as well as seven different superior Dharma images.

"Gao Xu Mi Yao" even contains the three highest Dharma images of "Dragons Fighting the Sea and Sky", "The Later Sage's Light" and "Qingyang Shuqi", as well as twelve superior Dharma images and twenty medium Dharma images.

There are thirty-five gates in total.

The large number is also an anomaly among the Three Classics and Five Classics.

The last one, which is also the first of the three classics, is "Xuan Zhong Tai Wu Zi Ran Kai Yuan Jing Lu".

However, this sutra only records two methods of the primordial spirit. Compared with the "Gao Xu Mi Yao", one is more and the other is less, which are indeed two extremes.

As for the two forms of the primordial spirit, they are the highest form “Great Qian Yuan” and the lower form “Xuan Shi Shu Guang”.

The so-called cultivation of Taoism is difficult and dangerous. Boundless glory or death is only a matter of one step.

And such as the "Nine Spirit Caves Extreme Capital Illuminating Mysterious Scripture" or "Gao Xu Secret" among the three sutras.

The Dharma images of the primordial spirits contained in both are orderly and closely connected, like the blood vessels in the human body, which are extremely strict and can be seen from the bottom to the top and from the top to the bottom.

Even if one is not careful when breaking through and misses the chance to cultivate the highest level of Dharma, one can always settle for the next best thing and calmly choose the superior or middle level Dharma.

Since the steps of moving Qi, guiding, refining, and nourishing are all the same method and not contrary to logic, then when you fall back to the next best thing, it will be a natural blend without any obstacles.

But "Xuan Zhong Tai Wu Zi Ran Kai Yuan Jing Lu" is different.

In terms of the Dharma, this sutra only records one door of the highest level and one door of the lower level.

That means that if a monk studies this sutra, he will either fly to the sky and live freely from then on, or fall into the dust and his future will be ruined!

This sutra is known for its obscurity and mystery, and there are such dangers when achieving the primordial spirit and Dharma image. It is no wonder that only a few Yu Chen disciples choose to read this sutra.

Within a thousand years, there are no more than ten of them...

At this time, Chen Heng saw Xue Jing's face was full of red and his excitement was beyond words. He was moved and couldn't help shaking his head. In fact, although the "Xuanzhong Taiwu Ziran Kaiyuan Jinglu" has various dangers, it has its reason to be the first of the three scriptures.

Let’s just talk about the appearance of the primordial spirit.

The supreme Dharma aspect recorded in this sutra, "Great is Qian Yuan", is said to be before Emperor Xiang and is unique and outstanding!
Even among all the supreme Dharma images, this one is truly the best, and can be said to be famous throughout the ages and dominate the universe!

If one can make the first-grade elixir, the Pure Yang Dao Fruit is probably in his hands. He has extraordinary talent and will be regarded as a rare flower in the fairyland no matter which sect he belongs to, and will be carefully educated.

The cultivator who can cultivate the highest Dharma image, and even the Dharma image of "Great Qian Yuan", is even more gifted and almost surpasses the present and the ancient times!

Although Xue Jing became Chen Heng's disciple, he only learned about the classics that Chen Heng was studying now. The reason why he was so excited and even lost his composure in the court was, in the final analysis, all because of the master Tongxuan.

Although it is not easy to prove the "Great Qian Yuan" Dharma, if you are not careful, your future will be ruined, but if you succeed in cultivating it, you will also enjoy infinite benefits!
Tongxuan was a great master, and Chen Heng was his first disciple.

In Xue Jing's opinion, even a figure like the Grandmaster acquiesced to what Chen Heng did and did not stop him.

Then Chen Heng’s chance of cultivating “Great Qian Yuan” should be the highest!

And a person who has achieved the first-grade elixir is expected to cultivate the true teachings of Yuchen, who is a great Qianyuan...

At this time, Xue Jing didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He simply gathered his thoughts and sorted out his understanding of the Yuanshen Dharma. After a pause, he said boldly, and then discussed with Chen Heng what the shortcomings of the Dragon and Tiger Golden Robe Taoist technique were and how to make up for them.

Two hours passed in a flash during this discussion, and Chen Heng benefited a lot from it, with several more ideas popping up in his mind.

"Thank you Master Xue for your advice. It really took you a lot of effort." Chen Heng bowed his head to express his gratitude.

"How dare I, how dare I." Xue Jing waved his hands hurriedly: "The master has been taught carefully by the master. My little understanding is nothing in front of the master. I hope you don't think I am short-sighted!"

In fact, the reason why Chen Heng created the Taoist art of Dragon-Tiger Golden Robe was that he repeatedly consulted Tongxuan for advice, made various deductions in the One True Dharma Realm, and today he also sat and discussed Taoism with Xue Jing.

In the final analysis, it is also inseparable from the Dharma aspect of "Great Qian Yuan".

The book of Taoism says:

The way of observing the sky, the journey of holding the sky, is complete.

To cultivators in the lower realm of the immortal way, classics like the Three Classics and Five Classics are as good as the broad daylight. Although they can comprehend and practice, due to their limited vision, they are like a frog in a well trying to see the sky. No matter how hard they try, they can only see half a cloud and a mist, and cannot get the full picture.

Even if you have a teacher who is willing to give you advice, it is difficult to fully comprehend other people's insights because they are not your own.

For this reason, various methods of performing and seeking techniques naturally came into being.

The Taoist art of Dragon-Tiger Golden Robe was created by Chen Heng after he observed the Dharma image of "Great Qian Yuan". In the process of performing the art, he not only acquired a Taoist art, but also pondered over "Great Qian Yuan", imprinted its mystery, and put it to use for himself.

While on Qingri Island, Wei Ling also gave Chen Heng some advice, warning him that if he wanted to reach the tenth level of swordsmanship in the future, he would need to create his own swordsmanship and forge his own path.

Wei Ling's suggestion is actually similar to the method of creating the golden elixir.

In the final analysis, they are all about telling those who practice Taoism not to be confined by the world of their mind, but to boldly comprehend the true mystery, so that they can see the Tao.

"According to Master, the Dragon-Tiger Golden Robe I created is still not mature enough. When the golden robe has a sense of yin and yang and gives birth to a few hints of all things, I will be qualified to try 'Great Qian Yuan' after reaching the third level of the Golden Elixir."

Chen Heng's eyes moved, and he thought:

"As for the Taiyi Divine Thunder, my practice on the Ziqing Divine Thunder has been going quite smoothly. After all, the two come from the same source..."

At this moment.

Suddenly, a bright and clear light flashed outside the golden chariot, like rolling clear water.

After the light disappeared, only Yang Kezhen, with a smile on his face and a whisk in his hand, entered the hall led by a boy.

Yang Kezhen bowed to Chen Heng first and said:
"Thank you for waiting for me, Immortal. I am sorry for the sin. The Wuling Ghost King has been killed, but this ghost is carrying a jar of dead body mud, which has secretly polluted the spiritual power of half of the world. It took some effort to clean up the foul air in the world."

At this point, Yang Kezhen added thoughtfully:

"I think the reason why this little ghost was able to break free from the seal and later made great progress must be related to the zombie mud. It must have some luck."

"Zombie mud? This kind of filth is rare in the world." Xue Jing, who was standing aside, became slightly interested when he heard this.

"I would also like to thank Master Yang for getting rid of this ghost and bringing peace to the world." Chen Heng put away his thoughts, bowed his head and said with a smile.

As Yang Kezhen kept refusing, several people stepped out of the golden chariot, came into the clouds, and looked up at the sky below.

At this moment, the sounds of killing from all directions had already stopped, and the city under the clouds was filled with the corpses of evil spirits, piled up like mountains.

At the top was the four-armed crow ghost that was hammered to death by Wei Yuanzhong. Its flesh and bones had turned into mud, and almost no trace of its body was left.

Above the clouds were Shen Cheng and his men who had returned from the expedition. The Taoist soldiers from various tribes stretched endlessly across the sky, surrounding the golden chariot in the center, like an iron barrel that was impervious to wind and rain!
Seeing Chen Heng come forward, all the Taoist soldiers bowed their heads and saluted in unison, shocking Ying Yue and others in Siquan Immortal City so much that their hearts trembled, their knees trembled, and no one dared to look up.

However, when Yang Kezhen took out the head of the Wuling Ghost King and showed it to the public, this awe was instantly swept away by ecstasy.

Everyone in the city, both humans and ghosts, were dancing with joy, as if a huge stone had finally been lifted from their chests, and they felt extremely relaxed.

Suddenly, cheers could be heard everywhere, dispersing the dark clouds over the city.

Yang Kezhen looked at the lively scene below and couldn't help stroking his beard and sighing:
"You are just a small ghost, but you dare to disturb the whole world and make all the spirits feel like they are in the fire. The people in the world are also suffering. If a Yuanshen sect takes root here, how can the ghosts be allowed to run rampant!"

Xue Jing shook his head and replied:

"Among all the heavens in the Yang world, the number of realms is like the floating catkins in spring, countless, and the land and spiritual power of this world are very limited, and it is also inferior among the realms. Which Yuanshen is willing to settle here? Even the Yuanshen of the side sects would not think of this."

Chen Heng pondered for a moment, then raised his hand and pointed.

The golden chariot behind him swayed slightly, with colorful light and shadows. A bright flame quietly fell to the dust and turned into a tree seed that took root in the ground, silently.

"The Yuanshen forces are unwilling to come here to live, but after this battle, Yunshao Realm can at least have some peace."

Chen Heng retracted his gaze: "And since it is a rare whim, it can be considered fate."

When Xue Jing and Yang Kezhen saw this scene, they looked at each other and were slightly surprised.

The Great Solar Ceremony Golden Chariot is ranked as the ultimate magical instrument of the immortals, and the only instruments that can surpass it are the Taoist instruments in the hands of the great masters of various sects. The golden flame just now was a bit of the original spirit of the golden chariot, and it came from one body with the golden chariot. This also means that Chen Heng has planted a spy in this world. If any abnormal changes occur in the Yunshao world again, the golden chariot will be able to sense it.

Xue Jing nodded and said:

"Master, now that everything here is over, what shall we do next?"

As soon as these words were spoken, not only did Shen Cheng and Yang Kezhen's disciples nearby look moved, but even Yang Kezhen turned his head and looked over with his eyes shining.

The Yunshao Realm is just a springboard after all, and the Wuling Ghost King who is wreaking havoc is just a minor infestation and is insignificant.

The reason why they and Chen Heng came all the way here was to suppress the rebels and return to their clan in triumph.

Cui Ju, the true disciple of Xipingdi, and Zhenwu Mountain behind him are the real highlights of this trip!
Facing everyone's gaze at this moment, Chen Heng's eyes flashed with a sharpness, and he said slowly:
"The head of Lingying Temple has sent a message earlier, saying that Cui Ju's men have conquered fourteen cities in a row. With the support of Zhenwu Mountain, Ban Su is almost on the verge of establishing a reputation as a venerable... There is no time to delay in this situation!"

He drew his sword and pointed it to the north, laughing loudly and speaking passionately:
"Then organize the troops and head straight for Gelu! Ban Su's head will be used as a stepping stone for our merits!"

The sword light suddenly increased, and in an instant, the dense light suddenly cut through the dark clouds, and the cold moon shone brightly, suddenly scattering thousands of points of clear light.

"Wan Sheng! Wan Sheng!"

The people around were infected by this momentum and shouted in unison.

The light was bright and various colors were dancing together, as if there were tens of thousands of flames flying and wandering in the clouds, illuminating the void as bright as day!

……

……

at the same time.

Xiping land, Gelu.

In a palace in Faliang City, Cai Zhang, with a tired look on his face, stepped into the threshold. Just as he was about to tell his servants to prepare some wine for him to drink, he suddenly heard the ringing of a big bell. The sound was deafening, like the roar of a tiger or a dragon.

Then there was a burst of shouting and cursing in the city, and rays of light flew into the clouds, as fast as arrows.

"master……"

The attendant who served the wine looked at Cai Zhang and asked hesitantly, "Do you want to drink more?"

"They are attacking us again. How can we waste time? You guys should quickly pack up and follow me to fight them off."

Cai Zhang waved his hands helplessly, but despite saying so, he only looked up at the sky and did not rush to leave. After a while, he beat his chest and complained:

"How can my life be so miserable!"
