Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 539

In the ice cave.

Chen Yun took a deep breath through his nose.

A strong suction came from his nostrils.

The original power of Bai Nujiao's soul in the palm of his hand was immediately inhaled into his nose.

Chen Yun immediately started practicing his skills.

Send this original power of the soul along the nasal cavity to the Niwan Palace.

In the Taoist practice of Yuanshen, if the negative impurities in the spirit have not been completely eliminated, the spirit cannot leave the body through the heavenly gate.

Generally speaking, ordinary primordial spirits and yin spirits can come out from the four orifices of eyes, ears, nose and mouth.

If the mind comes from the eyes, the gaze will be bright; if it comes from the nose, nasal breath will be heard; if it comes from the ears, clear sounds will be heard.

But what comes out of your mouth does harm and no benefit.

Only when Yin is exhausted and Yang is pure, can one break through the Heavenly Gate and get out. Moreover, the scene when one is in a trance is different from those of ordinary Yuanshen and Yin Shen.

As for the emergence of Yang Shen, according to the alchemy books, before taking the medicine, snowflakes will fly, smallpox will fall from the ceiling, the fontanelle will open automatically, and all the way back and forth will move.

"Huangting Yaodao" says that the yang spirit is a combination of spirituality and ancestral qi. Although it is more refined than all acquired things, it still has the nature of qi and is limited to the realm of ancestral qi. It cannot transcend into the realm of nothingness.

Further efforts are needed to return to emptiness before one can be in harmony with the Tao.

Chen Yun didn't know whether what was written in the book was true.

However, he understood an important truth, that is, when emitting the Yin Spirit and absorbing the original power of the Yuan Spirit, it cannot be inhaled through the mouth, otherwise it will damage the original power.

"Bai Nujiao's original spiritual power has been absorbed into the Niwan Palace and can be refined according to the secret method."

Chen Yun recalled the method of refining the soul that he had learned from Liu Guibai, and prepared to refine the original power of his soul.

It's quite funny to say that Liu Guibai is obviously only a seventh-grade magician, and Chen Yun has now cultivated to the late stage of the human immortal realm, but he still needs to rely on the opponent's method.

In fact, Chen Yun had no choice but to do this, because the Xuanmen sect might have the spell to refine the origin of the soul, but it would not be passed on to its disciples.

After all, this is a "demonic" technique.

Absorbing the power of other people's souls is not weird enough?

How could the orthodox Xuanmen allow its disciples to practice this technique?

Chen Yun didn't mind this.

He can be very pedantic sometimes.

For example, he had previously guessed that Bai Nujiao had done something wrong to him.

But he never took the initiative until he was completely sure.

However, sometimes Chen Yun was not very "conventional".

Ever since I left Mount Zhongnan to gain experience, I have realized that there is only a distinction between good and evil when it comes to using magic.

He has gained a new understanding of whether any magic is "right" or not.

As long as I use it in the right way, it is the right magic.

Now, this original power of the soul belongs to the evil demon.

If you don't refine it yourself, it will dissipate on its own.

Isn't this a waste!

Chen Yun was reluctant to waste such precious spiritual power.

He followed Liu Guibai's secret method of refining the spirit and slowly refined Bai Nujiao's original spiritual power.

Then he controlled his unformed spirit and absorbed the refined power.

A trace of the original power of the soul was refined and absorbed by his own soul.

Chen Yun could clearly feel that even after absorbing just a little bit, his soul seemed to have been strengthened a lot.

"Hmm?" He was a little surprised. "I see that this source of power of the soul doesn't seem to be very strong. It may just barely allow me to condense the form of the soul. Why do I feel that my soul has become much stronger after just absorbing a little bit?"

Such a strange situation.

He couldn't help but stop refining.

I sat there and thought carefully.

Cultivation is a very important thing.

If not handled properly, there is a high possibility of death.

Naturally, he had to be more cautious.

Find out what the situation is, and then you can continue refining.

If you don't do this, and practice blindly, you might kill yourself one day without even knowing it.

At first, Chen Yun really couldn't figure out the specific situation.

Suddenly, he recalled the content of "Huangting Yaodao" discussing Yang Shen that had appeared in his mind before.

"It is said in the Huangting Essentials that the Yang Spirit is an acquired thing formed by the combination of spirituality and ancestral energy, so it can only be limited to the ancestral energy realm, that is, among all the heavens and worlds, and cannot achieve unity with the Tao."

What is ancestral qi?

Taoism holds that things are created from Qi, and therefore calls the source of things "ancestral Qi."

To put it simply, the "ancestral energy" referred to in the heavens and myriad worlds is the innate Tao Qi.

But in fact, the ancestral qi includes not only the innate Tao qi that gives birth to all things in the heavens and all worlds.

Volume 16 of "Yunji Qiqian" states: "Tianbao Jun is the supreme god of Dadong; Tianbao Zhangren is the ancestral spirit of Tianbao Jun. Zhangren is the spirit of the Great Wu Yuan Gaoshang Jade Emperor of Hundong. After 99,990 billion spirits, Tianbao Jun was born in the first year of Longhan."

The "ancestral qi" discussed here is not the innate Tao qi of the heavens and all worlds.

Chen Yun made a bold guess: "Bai Nujiao was once a demon king in the Heavenly Fairyland. Even if her soul was not deliberately cultivated into a Yang God, her nature is actually very close to that of a Yang God. I just used the power of the godhead to erase the spirituality in her soul's source power. Then, the remaining soul's source power should be pure ancestral energy, which is only suitable for cultivating the soul's 'innate Dao Qi'."

Therefore, this pure innate Taoist Qi can be of such great help in cultivating the primordial spirit.

After all, Bai Nujiao was once at the celestial fairy level. Even if only a remnant soul is left of her and she can't exert her original powerful strength, the quality of her ancestral energy is there, so how could the effect be much different?
This guess made Chen Yun secretly excited. "If my guess is correct, then this power of the origin of the soul will not only help me condense the shape of the soul, but even after I kill Taoist Gou Teng, I can use this power of the origin of the soul to successfully let the soul leave the body and truly reach the realm of earthly immortals!"

It seems that I don't need to completely refine this spiritual power today.

Otherwise, if he refined too much, he might indeed reach the Earthly Immortal Realm ahead of time, but as he had analyzed before, he would not be able to control the power due to the instability of his "Dao Heart", and might even go astray.

These are Chen Yun's speculations and are not guaranteed to be accurate.

Perhaps, if he could refine a lot of the original power of his soul and there were no signs of backlash from his "Dao heart" and going astray, he might be able to rush directly to the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Once the "Dao Heart" backfires, he will definitely stop refining it immediately.

Chen Yun is not a fool. He knows very well what can be done and what cannot be done.

After thinking, continue refining.

Chen Yun did not waste any time and started to practice the secret method again.

The second strand of the original power of the soul was also gradually refined.

Chen Yun controlled his own soul and absorbed the refined ancestral energy, and his soul became three times stronger.

This kind of ethereal feeling is something that ordinary people cannot sense.

He is different. His cultivation is already close to the Earthly Immortal Realm, so he can naturally feel the strength of the soul easily.

The third thread.

The eighth thread.

One day later, Chen Yun had refined twelve strands of his soul's original power.

So far, Bai Nujiao's spiritual power still shows no signs of decreasing.

It was like refining twelve strands of the original power of the soul, like taking a drop in the ocean.

"As expected of a former demon king of the Celestial Realm, the power of the original spirit is truly powerful."

Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh secretly, "I was wondering if I could rely on this power of the soul's origin to forcibly condense the shape of the soul. It seems that I underestimated Bai Nujiao."

After refining twelve strands of the original power of the soul, the soul became more than twice as powerful.

Chen Yun sensed that his soul seemed to have a vague outline, but it did not yet have a specific image.

"My soul was invisible and intangible before, and it was impossible to observe. Now that I have absorbed so much of the original power of the soul, a vague outline has appeared?"

This made him feel excited, and he realized that choosing to refine Bai Nujiao's spiritual power was an extremely correct decision.

Chen Yun did not continue to refine it.

Instead, he practiced the third level of Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Technique.

See if you can successfully condense the soul into shape in this state.

Simply absorbing the refined ancestral energy cannot directly form the primordial spirit, and further "refining" is required. This further "refining" is actually purifying the essence of the primordial spirit.

An hour later.

Chen Yun stopped practicing.

I sensed the condition of my own soul.

Unfortunately, the spirit form was not achieved.

"It seems that the power of the original spirit absorbed is not enough."

After Chen Yun "purified" his soul, he began to refine it again.

A new round of refining has begun.

Three strands of the original power of the soul were refined.

The five strands of the original power of the soul were refined.

Time passed by minute by minute.

In the blink of an eye, another two days passed.

Perhaps it’s because the soul has been “purified” once.

This time, the speed of refining the original power of the soul was obviously faster than before.

Logically speaking, at the previous speed, one could only refine twenty-four strands of the soul's original power in two days.

In fact, Chen Yun refined thirty strands in these two days.

Even so, Bai Nujiao's spiritual power still did not show any obvious decrease.

"Huh, after absorbing so much of the original power of the soul and not refining it, my soul feels a bit bloated. It's time to refine it."

Chen Yun once again practiced the third level of Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Technique.

He felt that the Qi of his heart and kidneys was communicating with the diaphragm, and the Dan Qi was moving slightly, blocking the five internal organs.

Suddenly, Chen Yun felt a burning sensation in his internal organs.

After practicing for a while, Chen Yun suddenly felt the golden elixir shaking under his left rib. A slight heat passed through the dantian and went straight into his ribs. It was as hot as fire and shook for a long time before settling.

Suddenly, a wonderful scene arose.

Chen Yun sensed that his soul came down from the Niwan Palace and directly to the location of the golden elixir, forming a scene of "the elixir holding the holy fetus".

According to my own practice, if I reach this stage, it means that the holy fetus is about to take shape.

"I'm very close, but it seems that my soul is not strong enough. I need to refine some of the soul's original power before I can succeed."

Chen Yun was not in a hurry. He waited until the exercise was over and his soul returned to the Niwan Palace. Then he began the third round of refining the soul's original power.

……

Time flies during practice.

It seemed like just a blink of an eye, but in fact three days had already passed.

On this day, Chen Yun had just finished refining thirty-six strands of his spiritual power.

He was preparing to enter the third stage of practicing Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Technique.

"At this moment, I feel that my soul is full, it should be enough to condense into an image!"

Chen Yun was so excited that he couldn't calm down for a while.

It felt like I had been dreaming for a long time and it was about to come true.

It makes people so excited that they want to cheer, jump for joy, and even howl.

"No!" Chen Yun immediately realized that something was wrong with him. "I have been practicing for decades. Although I cannot be compared with those predecessors who have practiced for thousands or tens of thousands of years, my 'Dao Heart' has always been strong. When I first became an immortal, I didn't have such strong excitement and joy. How could I become unable to control myself just because I am about to condense the shape of a primordial spirit?"

This is not about breaking through to the Earthly Immortal Realm.

It's natural for me to feel happy, but it's not necessary to reach the point of ecstasy, right?
"It really is a matter of 'Dao Xin'."

Chen Yun couldn't help but sighed, "I have analyzed before that if I forcefully condense the imagination of the primordial spirit, I might be attacked by the 'Dao Heart'. Now my thoughts have been verified."

This made his murderous intent towards Taoist Gou Teng even stronger.

As long as Gou Teng is not dead, my anger will not be relieved!
"Yes, I am influenced by the 'Dao Heart' again!"

Chen Yun shook his head helplessly.

I am at a critical juncture in my cultivation, so I should be focused and not be distracted.

How could it possibly be associated with revenge?
He didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Otherwise, there might be big problems when condensing the spirit image later.

Chen Yun forced himself to suppress the distracting thoughts in his mind.

Let yourself enter a state of "vacuum".

again.

three times.

He suppressed his distracting thoughts five times.

When he felt a sense of emptiness, his body automatically began to practice the third level of Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Technique.

The next moment, the Qi of the heart and kidneys interacted, and the five internal organs felt like fire.

Unknowingly, Chen Yun adjusted the temperature to the optimal level.

At this time, the primordial spirit sank into the golden elixir just like in the previous few days, forming the "elixir holding the holy fetus".

The power of the golden elixir constantly refines the spirit, removes impurities in the spirit, and makes it more "pure".

Gradually, the soul began to take on a shape somewhat similar to that of a baby.

Up to this point, the soul only has an empty form, and the "Five Mountains" are not yet complete.

"Eight turns, move its form!"

Chen Yun made his soul "move" according to the exercises.

The pure yang power gushing out of the golden elixir became more and more violent.

As the golden elixir was being refined fiercely, the soul gradually took on a "face".

It was a little blurry at first, but as time went on, the "appearance" of the spirit became clearer.

One turn!
Three turns!

Five turns!

Seven or eight days flew by.

Finally, Chen Yun reached the eighth turn.

As long as this transformation is successful, the soul should be able to truly take shape.

He was neither sad nor happy, and did not feel excited at all.

Just like eating and drinking water as usual, my mood is so natural.

The soul started to move again.

Under the influence of the power of the golden elixir.

Countless impurities were peeled off.

Falling like snowflakes.

Suddenly.

With a loud bang, something exploded deep in Chen Yun's soul.

Suddenly, he felt as if he had been freed from shackles, and the world seemed brand new.

Chen Yun only felt that the soul in his body was like a three or four-inch-sized child, with the five mountains clearly visible, playing around.

Even though the soul was still very weak at this time, so weak that it couldn't leave the body, it was really refined!
A feeling of joy spread deep in Chen Yun's soul.

That kind of "sincere" joy makes people feel deeply intoxicated.

This joy was completely different from the previous one and did not make people feel uncomfortable at all.

On the contrary, Chen Yun felt that this joy made him very satisfied, enough to help him practice.

He knew that this was the sense that the image refined by his soul brought to him, just like the sense of a newborn baby.

Chen Yun slowly opened his eyes, "Finally I have refined the form!"
