Xiuxian: When you do things to the extreme

Chapter 524 Lectures
The effects of taking the pills varied among the practitioners.

The immortal god in the calamity realm is ranked ninth. Even if he has taken the best immortal elixir and gained many benefits, he will not show too much and still holds the upper seat.

The Mahayana cultivators who followed were not much different. Although they received help from top-grade immortal pills, they were ultimately unable to break through on the spot and still remained seated.

Only the low-level cultivators below the Mahayana stage, such as the Return to Void Fusion stage, the Golden Core stage, and the Nascent Soul stage, could benefit from the help of elixirs to greatly increase their cultivation level, which made many of them get up and leave their seats and rush outside the mountain to advance and transcend the tribulation.

For a moment, there were continuous sounds of thunder, which shook the area around Wanshou and did not subside for a long time.

Xu Yang didn't care. He sat in the main seat and chatted and laughed with a group of immortals and gods in the calamity realm.

This went on for an unknown amount of time before the cultivators returned from their tribulation and the rest of the people also dissolved their Dan Yuan. They all stood up and bowed deeply.

"We will never forget the great immortal's kindness in helping us!"

"Through fire and water, no matter what!"

"Even if I die, I will never regret it!"

Everyone bowed deeply and their gratitude was beyond words.

"You don't have to be polite."

Xu Yang smiled, helped everyone up with his empty hands, and then looked around: "It's time to preach the scriptures and share what we have. I have made some progress this time, so I am here to show you my shortcomings. If there is anything wrong, I hope you can give me some advice."

"Where there!"

"Your Majesty is too modest."

“Everyone in the world of earthly immortals knows that Taoist Zhenyuan has achieved great success and has studied the laws of nature. He has already grasped the true meaning of Taoism when he was in the Mahayana stage. Now that he has entered the Tribulation Realm, he has made great progress.”

"On the other hand, although we entered the calamity realm early, we wasted years and are far from being able to catch up!"

As the saying goes, everyone carries a fancy sedan chair, and the landlord is so humble that everyone naturally praises him.

But praises aside, there was not much ripple in their hearts, and this was especially true for the Dragon King of the South China Sea and Yama Luo of Mount Tai.

This was not due to any grudges, but rather because they had a high level of cultivation, generally above the third calamity, and were already in the middle stream among the calamity realms.

Such people, not to mention creating a new school of thought, also have unique insights, so they naturally do not take preaching and sermons very seriously.

After all, Xu Yang is just a newly promoted immortal. Although he is comparable to a true immortal with his natural creation and the power of Jiuyi Xuanyuan, his combat power is only combat power, and his Tao fruit is only Tao fruit.

Unless he is willing to display his divine creation and the Nine-Ritual Xuanyuan Holy Dao, this discussion of the Dao will not be very attractive to these high-tribulation immortals and gods.

But is it possible for him to make these two methods public?
Obviously impossible!
Therefore, the high-level Tribulation Immortals were not very interested in this discussion of the Dao and did not take it seriously.

There were only a group of newly promoted Tribulation Immortals and the cultivators below the Tribulation Realm, their eyes were bright and full of anticipation.

"Great Immortal is generous and has brought benefits to the cultivation world. His merits are immeasurable!"

All the practitioners who got down from their seats bowed deeply.

Xu Yang smiled, and helped everyone up with his empty hands: "I take Yin Yang and the Five Elements as my basis, so I will start from the Yin Yang and the Five Elements, from the simple to the complex, for you all to see!"

After that, he began to narrate the story in full swing under the gaze of everyone. Although there were no strange scenes such as the ceiling falling or golden lotus emerging from the ground, his narration went from shallow to deep, steady and solid. His theories of Yin and Yang and the Five Elements were particularly applicable and comprehensive, which made everyone present gain something, and there was very little sight of people scratching their ears or cheeks.

Seeing this scene, the high-level Tribulation Immortals all had sparkling eyes.

"The rumors are true. This Wan Dao Lord is really good at teaching people!"

"Wan Dao Academy, Wan Dao Academy, the word 'learning' here is really clever."

"He is proficient in all kinds of arts, with cultivation as the foundation and the alchemy cauldron as the career. He also has the heavenly craftsmanship to create laws to fight and respond to disasters. In addition, he has the ability to teach and impart knowledge. Who can stop the power of this academy?"

"As long as this Wan Dao Lord does not encounter disaster, the Wan Dao Academy will be able to stand firm in the south. In the future, even if it does not suppress the Buddhist Heavenly Court, it will be on par with them and compete with them!"

"So, the purpose of the visit of the Great Mercy Bodhisattva and the Master of Yaochi Palace..."

The immortals standing nearby listened to the sound of the magic, their eyes kept changing and their thoughts were in a myriad of forms.

In this way, in Wuzhuang Temple, the sound of Taoism lasted for countless years, and ten years passed in the blink of an eye.

Ten years later, the preaching suddenly stopped, waking everyone up from a dream and making them feel lost.

"Daxian..."

Everyone raised their heads and met Xu Yang's gaze, seeming to want to say something but stopping themselves for a moment.

Xu Yang chuckled: "Dao Xuanzhen, have you gained anything?"

“Benefits are endless!”

The cultivators stood up and bowed again: "Thank you, Immortal, for teaching us and clearing up our doubts."

It's hard to express my gratitude in words.

He preached and taught for ten years, answering questions and enlightening people. Not only the immortals in the Tribulation Realm, but also millions of low-level cultivators benefited immeasurably. Many people who had taken elixirs but had not achieved a breakthrough suddenly realized and made the leap to the Dragon Gate during this meeting.

Even now, the sermon has suddenly stopped, which makes people feel lost, but it is difficult to say more.

Xu Yang smiled, turned his gaze, and looked at the Mahayana fusion person in the middle stream: "When preaching, we should start from the shallow to the deep. Now that we have finished the shallow part, it is time to go to the deep part. Everyone should listen carefully!"

"This……"

When these words came out, all the cultivators were stunned, and then they came back to their senses in surprise: "We are all ears!"

Xu Yang smiled and said nothing more, just explained the Taoism in detail.

The monks were even more solemn and did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

With full concentration, one could see the Taoist master preaching from high above, wonderfully expounding the Three Vehicles and the subtleties of all dharmas. Sometimes he preached the Dao, sometimes he talked about Zen, and sometimes he turned to Confucianism and Legalism. Everyone listened to their own words, and each one heard something different. One was fully focused and yet inexplicably dazed. It was mysterious and wonderful.

Such and such...

"Wow!"

A monk who had achieved the state of fusion suddenly stood up as if waking up from a dream. He looked around and saw that all his fellow monks were intoxicated. Only he was awakened by shock and could not control himself due to the sudden impulse.

“I… realized it!?”

He murmured something and suddenly realized something. He then stood up and went outside. As soon as he walked out of the temple gate, he saw thunder in the sky. Many monks had returned from the disaster. Regardless of their embarrassment, they hurried back to the temple to listen to the lecture.

"This fellow Taoist!"

Seeing this, he immediately stopped someone and asked, "What year and month is it?"

"How should I know?"

The person who was stopped shook his head and then walked into the temple, not wanting to get entangled at all.

"I don't know how old you are in the temple!"

When the man saw this, he smiled, strode out, and brought a cloud of disaster upon himself.

… “Thirty years, spring and autumn have passed!”

In Wuzhuang Temple, Xu Yang chuckled, stopped preaching, and looked at the monks sitting below: "Did you gain anything?"

"The Immortal's true teachings will benefit us immensely!"

All the practitioners stood up and bowed deeply, their gratitude was beyond words.

Since this lecture, which has lasted for more than thirty years, the Taoism has been deeply rooted and has enabled countless cultivators to break through, transform their spirits and return to the void, and then return to the void and advance to the fusion of the body. The best among them have even broken through the barrier between heaven and man, condensed immortal power, and entered the Mahayana stage.

It has been more than forty years since the Danyuan meeting, but everything seems like yesterday, without any sense of the passage of time.

The cultivators woke up as if from a dream, and saw Xu Yang chuckle again. He turned to the immortals in the Tribulation Realm and said, "I have just obtained a method called the Mysterious Scripture of the Nine Heavens. It is the Taiqing Dharma Transmission, the way of Yin and Yang creation. Are you willing to join me in studying it?"

"Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture?"

"Taiqing Dharma Transmission?"

"The Way of Yin and Yang?"

All the immortals looked at each other in awe.

The Three Vehicles teachings were expounded brilliantly, and all dharmas were transmitted in great detail. Although they did not benefit as much as the lower-level cultivators from listening to the teachings for more than forty years, they also gained a lot.

One has to admit that this Lord of All Daos is indeed a man of great merit and learning. His power as a true immortal is not only created by nature and the Nine-Ring Xuanyuan, but his own achievements in the great Dao are also not to be ignored.

But this is not all yet, what else should we talk about the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sutra?
Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, what is Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture?
Is there such a method in the world of earthly immortals?
Or is it the Taiqing Dharma Transmission? Why have I never heard of it?
The immortals were in doubt, but they couldn't argue: "Fellow Daoist is willing to pass on the Dharma, how can we not be willing?"

"what!"

Xu Yang smiled and started preaching without saying much.

"The Tao is invisible, nameless, soundless, colorless and tasteless. It is indifferent and takes nothingness as its main principle. It lives naturally and takes the pure and subtle Qi as its root. It has the power of infinity. It has no exterior or interior, no up or down, no front or back. It was born before heaven and earth. Its essence is wonderful, far-reaching and pervasive, and it cannot be named. That's why it is called Tao. When it is combined, it becomes Qi. When it is dispersed, it becomes heaven and earth. Heaven and earth meet once every 360 billion years. When the number reaches three, five, seven, and nine, the life of heaven and earth ends..."

The Taoist teachings he was preaching were the Taixuan Sutra. Immediately, flowers fell from the sky, golden lotuses emerged from the ground, and many strange phenomena appeared at the Danyuan meeting.

The immortals were startled for a moment, then woke up in shock. They hurriedly turned their eyes and saw the Taoist sitting high above, slowly shaking his whisk to spray pearls and jade. The sound was like thunder that shook the nine heavens. Every word he said was true and every sentence was profound. How could it be explained by just one miracle?
Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, the direct teachings of Taiqing, the fundamental skills of Emei, and the door to the great way of becoming a celestial being.

In the world of earthly immortals, although there are relics from ancient times and many methods to reach the heavens, they are all more or less incomplete.

It cannot be said that there are no such things as the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, which has a complete inheritance and can lead directly to the path of becoming a celestial being, but it is definitely rare. It is kept in all the major portals of immortals and gods and is a secret of the Taoist tradition that is not passed on.

But now...

The group of kalpa immortals were all stunned, then they came back to their senses, sat up straight and listened carefully. Even the Great Compassion Bodhisattva, the Eight Kalpas Buddha, had a solemn expression and did not dare to be distracted.

She is a Buddhist bodhisattva who practices the way of creation with a compassionate heart. The Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, which is based on the principles of yin and yang, is not as simple as using a stone from another mountain to polish a jade for her. It can even change the root and transform Buddhism into Taoism!
Although she had no such idea, she would never reject such a miraculous method.

Even the Eight Tribulations Buddha was like this, let alone the others, who no longer had the disrespect they had before.

Xu Yang saw it all, but did not point it out, and just explained the true principles of Taoism.

The Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, this celestial immortal method, has been in his hands for more than a thousand years.

Over the past thousand years, several of Xu Yang's avatars, the martial Xu Qingyang, the Taoist Li Liuxian, the earthly immortal Zhen Yuanzi, and his present self, Lan Xing Qian Jin, have been studying this method to help themselves improve.

But it must be said that this method of immortality is too profound. He is not a genius like Ren Baimei. In just over a thousand years, his achievements are very limited. It only helps him to raise his attainments in alchemy to the eighth level, and his talismans and formations are about to break through. As for the method of transforming one qi into three pure ones, the two-yin and yang dust formation, and the innate one qi Taiqing divine talisman, he has no clue at all.

In fact, even a genius like Ren Baimei, who was a sensation throughout history and had an unparalleled talent, had put in a lot of effort in practicing the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture and the Tushita True Commandment. It took tens of thousands of years of hard work and enormous investment to achieve the ultimate in weapons and formations, unparalleled swordsmanship, the two-yin and yang dust, and the one-qi Taiqing.

Xu Yang does not have the talent like Ren Baimei, nor does he have the time like Ren Baimei. The battle for supremacy in the world of earthly immortals and the threat from the demons in the world of Blue Star are all imminent, forcing him to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

Lack of talent and time, what to do?

The only way is to cheat!
After thousands of years of hard work, Xu Yang integrated what he gained from the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture and the Tushita True Commandment into the Taoist scriptures, and turned it into his own Dharma. He released it at this Dan Yuan Conference and passed it on to cultivators all over the world and a group of immortal gods in the Tribulation Realm.

In this way, he can rely on the Taoist skills, the effects of the Lord of Taoist Scriptures, and a series of characteristics of the teacher skills to make these immortal gods in the Tribulation Realm his "cultivation pendants" to help him practice the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scriptures and the Tushita True Commandment.

Speaking of this, Xu Yang couldn't help but admire once again the mystery of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture and the Tushita True Commandment.

This kind of great and true Dharma is invisible and intangible, and has no restrictions. It is integrated with his "Tao Te Ching" and is unobstructed. It does not seem like rebuilding a new technique, but rather like upgrading the grade of a technique, turning decay into magic.

The reason for this is that there are different paths. What sentient beings see is the truth. It just depends on how they understand it.

With the help of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture, Xu Yang upgraded his own Dao Scripture, which can be called the Nine Heavens Dao Mysterious Scripture.

By the same token, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture practiced by Ren Baimei can also be called the Nine Heavens Sword Scripture, Taiqing Taoist Scripture, etc.

This is the mysterious aspect of the Taiqing magic, the inheritance of the immortals.

In the eyes of ten thousand practitioners, there are ten thousand copies of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Scriptures, and each of them is true and leads to the great Dao. It just depends on whether you have the understanding to cultivate them.

Xu Yang's qualifications are slightly insufficient, but after changing the "Nine Heavens Mysterious Scripture" to the "Nine Heavens Dao Mysterious Scripture", the characteristic effects of the "Lord of Dao Scriptures" can be brought into play, using the power of all living beings to assist his own practice.

Therefore, Xu Yang was not stingy about this method of heavenly immortality and directly preached it at the Danyuan Conference.

In this way, the Taoist scriptures were preached and all the practitioners were intoxicated.

From the realm of kalpa to the Mahayana, all are within the wonderful Dharma, and one can see the profound truth of the great Way.

Unfortunately, the teachings below the Mahayana are obscure and difficult to understand. He watched the Taoist priest preaching, the sky talking nonsense, golden lotuses emerging from the ground, and all the immortals were immersed in it, but he knew nothing about it and could not help scratching his ears and cheeks in anxiety.

But there are also a few lucky people with extraordinary talents and understanding, who can understand some of the mysteries and smile from ear to ear.

In this way, the sound of Taoism continued for who knows how many years, and dozens of years passed.

Sixty years later, in Wuzhuang Temple.

“Wonderful!!!”

He rose up happily, with immortal energy flowing around his body, and flew directly into the sky.

Exactly...

"Zhenren Ziyang?"

"this……!"

The low-level cultivators, who found it difficult to comprehend the mysteries of the scriptures and could only sit in meditation, could not help but exclaim in surprise when they saw Immortal Zi Yang soaring into the sky.

True Man Zi Yang, a true cultivator of Nanzhan, has been famous for tens of thousands of years. He is the oldest person among the Nanzhan Mahayana. Regardless of his cultivation level, just in terms of seniority, he is above many immortals and gods in the Tribulation Realm.

But unfortunately, on the road of cultivation, those who are more accomplished come first. Even if one is old and has a lot of experience, Mahayana is still Mahayana. When he was welcoming the guests just now, facing the immortals and gods in the calamity realm, he could only call himself a junior.

But now...

"Boom!"

Disaster clouds were everywhere, thunder was roaring, and in the vortex of heavenly calamity, a purple sun was shining brightly, trying to prove the immortal fruit of immortality.
