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

Chapter 582: Mid-Earthly Realm

There are still seven days until the Golden Axe and Golden Scissors are born.

Chen Yun knew that he did not have enough time to wait for the next medicinal effect to appear, so he did not stay in the small cave any longer.

Back at the outskirts of the southwest basin, Yan Feng, Niu Dali and Master Jingchen were chatting about their experiences in cultivation.

Nun Jingchen spoke slowly, "In Buddhism, the cultivation of Yin God involves the understanding and perception of the 'conscious mind'. This process is related to the concept of Yin God in Taoism, but the cultivation path and goal are different. Therefore, Mr. Yan and Mr. Niu, you can only use my experience in cultivation as a reference, and you cannot copy it. Otherwise, it will create a huge obstacle to your cultivation."

Yan Feng and Niu Dali listened attentively and nodded slightly.

Chen Yun appeared near the three people and said with a smile: "What Master said is very true. In Buddhism, Yin God is regarded as the 'conceptual aggregate', which is a component of consciousness. The process of cultivating Yin God is actually to see the 'consciousness' first, that is, to get rid of troubles first. This process is regarded as the basis for leading to a higher level of cultivation. The cultivation of Yin God in the orthodox Xuanmen is not like this. There is a specific process. I have cultivated Yin God in my early years and know a thing or two. If Brother Niu and Fellow Daoist Yan are interested, I can share my experience with you."

"Hey, Master Chen, you're back?"

"Why didn't we sense it?"

Yan Feng, Niu Dali and Master Jingchen looked over sideways.

They really didn't notice any signs of Chen Yun's return until the other party took the initiative to talk about it.

This made the three of them immediately realize that Chen Yun's cultivation must have improved greatly during this period of time.

Originally, the three of them were just thinking about it.

As a result, when they looked over, they saw that Chen Yun seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog and could not see the specific situation at all.

Of course, this is due to their super senses as immortals.

In fact, Yan Feng, Niu Dali and Master Jingchen could all see Chen Yun's specific appearance with their naked eyes, and there didn't seem to be much change, except that he looked more energetic.

When Nun Jingchen saw this, she was immediately moved and said, "Master Chen, I see that you are like a lute with half of your face covered. Could it be that... you have cultivated to the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm? Or have you mastered some great method that we cannot see?"

Yan Feng was amazed and said, "Daoyou is surrounded by abundant spiritual energy, as if it can be extracted from nothingness. It is simply unbelievable."

Niu Dali did not have the same high level of cultivation as the other two, so naturally he could not see the magic. He could only sense that Chen Yun at this moment was very different from before.

This difference is not reflected in appearance, but in "temperament".

If Chen Yun gave Niu Dali the impression of being an immortal before.

At this moment, he could sense the transcendent aura that only the "sacred" possessed from Chen Yun.

This is an aura that is completely different from that exuded by ordinary earthly immortals.

It makes people want to worship it, but dare not look directly at it, and dare not peek into it.

Niu Dali even had a feeling that if he looked at Chen Yun with disrespect, he would most likely be blinded by the "fog" that enveloped him.

He was already in the middle stage of the immortal realm, yet he still had such a premonition.

He could imagine that if a cultivator who had not yet attained immortality, or a mortal, really dared to look at Chen Yun with disrespect, he would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant.

Chen Yun smiled and sat on the ground. He didn't look like a man of enlightenment at all, but he gave people the feeling that his every move was in harmony with nature. "I have a little insight. My cultivation is indeed close to the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm. It will probably be in the next few days. As for why you feel that I am shrouded in fog, it is because I have practiced a very powerful Dafa and reached a certain level of perfection, which allows the light of the elixir to flow out of my body, almost making the golden elixir and the outside world form a scene of 'harmony between man and nature'."

Yan Feng was shocked and said, "What a high level this is. I can't even imagine it."

Niu Dali nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Yan Feng's remarks.

Only Master Jingchen stared at Chen Yun for a long while, then sighed softly and said, "I finally understand why Fellow Daoist Chen did not attain the true body of Tathagata, but insisted on practicing the inner elixir. It turns out that the inner elixir is so mysterious."

"Ok?"

"Master Chen almost achieved the true body of Tathagata?"

Yan Feng and Niu Dali didn't know about this, and when they heard Master Jingchen reveal it, they were shocked again.

This made them feel extremely puzzled, because those who practice cultivation emphasize transcendence.

The true body of Tathagata is comparable to a celestial being. Although he cannot achieve true transcendence, he can at least live as long as the heaven and earth.

If it were anyone else, they would definitely want to reach this extremely high level.

Why is Chen Yun not tempted at all and would rather stay in the earthly fairyland than be comparable to a celestial fairy?

Chen Yun seemed to see what Yan Feng and Niu Dali were thinking, and whispered: "Everyone has his own way. If you can't stick to it, no matter whether you cultivate to become a god or a celestial being, it will always be a mirage, and you will never be able to truly transcend."

Yan Feng smiled bitterly and said, "Master Chen, I know what you said makes sense, but my state of mind is not as detached as yours. If I have the opportunity to be comparable to a celestial being, I will reach it even if I have to pay any price."

Niu Dali sighed, "Yes, the temptation is comparable to that of a fairy, not everyone can resist it."

Nun Jingchen smiled and said, "It is precisely because we are all ordinary people that we have been practicing for hundreds or thousands of years but are still in the human realm, while Master Chen has practiced to the earthly realm in just seventy years. To put it bluntly, how can a sparrow understand the ambition of a swan? We are sparrows, and Master Chen is the swan."

Not only were Yan Feng and Niu Dali not angry at all, on the contrary, they felt that Master Jingchen's description was simply too accurate.

After Master Jingchen finished speaking, she looked to the side and said, "Master Chen, you have not yet reached the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm at this level. How long do you need to practice?"

Yan Feng and Niu Dali were also very interested in this and looked over.

Chen Yun said: "It will probably be within a few days. I cannot estimate the exact time, but it may be before the golden axe and golden scissors are born."

Reaching the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm from the early stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm is a small realm, and generally will not cause strange phenomena like breaking through a large realm.

For example, when Chen Yun broke through to the human immortal realm, it caused the spiritual energy of the entire world to vibrate, and thus other immortals sensed that someone had achieved immortality.

When he broke through to the Earthly Immortal Realm, the movement was actually even more massive, and he was able to absorb "ancestral energy" from nothingness to strengthen himself.

The reason why the cultivators in the cave of Sun Moon Lake cannot sense this vastness is because their cultivation is too weak.

If it were in the outside world, it would definitely be sensed by countless immortals above the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Naturally, Chen Yun believed that his arrival at the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm should be a natural thing, and there would not be any unusual phenomena.

……

Five or six days passed in a flash.

There is only one day left before the Golden Axe and Golden Scissors are born.

Early in the morning of that day, Chen Yun noticed that as the "automatic practice" continued, a very wonderful change occurred throughout his body.

He had a feeling that his body and soul were about to reach perfection.

"Hmm?" Chen Yun looked at Yan Feng, Niu Dali and Master Jingchen who were meditating nearby, and thought to himself, "I sense that I am about to reach the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm. Why do I feel that my physical body and soul will reach the state of perfection at the same time?"

Logically speaking, the physical body and the soul can be further strengthened in the middle and late stages of the Earthly Immortal Realm, and even in the Divine Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

But with his current level of cultivation, he would not think that he was having an illusion. This was impossible.

As my cultivation becomes more and more advanced, I can sense hundreds of small worlds and become omniscient. How could I possibly have an illusion?
In other words, he was really about to perfect his body and his spirit.

In order to achieve this kind of perfection, one only needs to practice to the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Chen Yun couldn't figure out what was going on for a moment.

I began to recall which immortals in the Earthly Immortal Realm I knew.

The leaders of many immortal halls in Northeast China are almost all in the middle stage of Earthly Immortal Realm.

On the contrary, he didn't remember having seen the late stage of Earthly Immortal Realm.

As for the true realm at the top of the Earthly Immortal Realm, not counting the combat power raised to this level, the only one who can reach this level is Zhang Tianshi’s mount “Lord Tiger”.

"No!" Chen Yun secretly guessed, "The leaders of the Northeastern Chu Ma Xian, as well as Ni He, have all practiced for who knows how many years, and some may even have practiced for tens of thousands of years. How could they be so tacitly in sync, and all of them are only in the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm?"

Could it be that there is some mystery in the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm?
Ever since his mentor was captured by Heaven, Chen Yun has been practicing by feeling his way forward on his own and has no idea of ​​the situation.

"I'll know the situation once I break through to the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm."

Chen Yun did not hesitate too much and waited quietly to reach this state.

Not long after, the huge sun slowly moved towards the north.

Suddenly, Chen Yun felt a very weak spiritual energy being transformed into Dan Qi.

The "quality" of Danqi seems to have reached a certain amount, resulting in a huge qualitative change!
Bang!
His body burst out with a sound like violent thunder!

Yan Feng, Niu Dali and Master Jingchen heard the noise and hurriedly opened their eyes to look over.

It’s better not to look at it.

Upon seeing it, the three of them were stunned.

At this moment, they saw an extremely strong golden light shining on Chen Yun's body.

The golden light was so dazzling, just like the sun moving towards the north in the sky!
Yes, Yan Feng, Niu Dali and Master Jingchen had a feeling of being within a certain range of the sun.

Not only did they feel the golden light was so dazzling that they couldn't open their eyes, they even felt an extremely hot breath invading them.

Niu Dali, who had the weakest cultivation, found it difficult to even breathe under such scorching heat.

It seemed that if he held on for just a moment longer, he would be melted by the heat!
Yan Feng and Master Jingchen's cultivation is much higher than Niu Dali's, but at this moment in the scorching heat, they are still sweating profusely!
You have to know that these three are real immortals, and yet they can't bear it under such heat.

If it were someone with a lower level of cultivation, he would be burned to ashes in an instant!

"This..." Master Jingchen was shocked.

Yan Feng sensed an extremely powerful pressure emanating from Chen Yun's body.

He asked fearfully, "Is Master Chen trying to break through to a higher realm?"

Niu Dali didn't say anything, not because he didn't want to express his shock, but because the terrifying pressure and heat mixed together made it hard for him to breathe and he couldn't make a sound!

Fortunately, the burst of golden light did not last too long.

After about three or five breaths, the golden light gradually went out.

Originally, Yan Feng, Niu Dali and Master Jingchen thought that the vision was over when they arrived here.

As a result, something even more unexpected happened.

A golden light flashed in Chen Yun's eyes.

Immediately afterwards, a stream of golden air emerged from it.

It transformed into a spirit that was two or three feet long and similar in shape to his real self.

This spirit looks lifelike and has an inviolable majesty.

Yan Feng, Niu Dali and Master Jingchen even had an idea that they dared not look directly at it.

This shocked the three of them.

It's not that they had never seen Chen Yun's soul before, but it was only three or four inches.

And now, in less than a month, Chen Yun's soul has grown to a size of one or two feet?
Anyone can imagine how huge this improvement is!
Yan Feng was secretly surprised and said: "Master Chen's talent is indeed shocking in the history. He just cultivated to the early stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm a few months ago and his Yuanshen was only three or four inches long at that time, but now it is only one or two feet? I am afraid that his current strength is more than dozens or hundreds of times stronger than before?"

Nun Jingchen was also shocked in her heart. "Looking at Master Chen's lifelike soul, I'm afraid his cultivation has reached the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm. He has only been practicing for more than 70 years, and he has reached such a realm? When I see him, I can't help but feel ashamed of myself!"

Niu Dali's mind is not as complicated as the other two.

He just stared blankly, as if he was witnessing something.

Just as the three people were thinking rapidly, Chen Yun's soul suddenly underwent new changes.

This lifelike soul, about one or two feet tall, radiated extremely strong golden and colorful light. Rays of rosy clouds permeated from it, rendering the entire Sun Moon Lake cave heaven golden, colorful and rosy-colored.

Suddenly, an extremely huge auspicious cloud appeared three feet above Chen Yun's head.

This auspicious cloud was hundreds of acres in size, and was dotted with millions of golden flowers, billions of blue lotuses, and garlands and hanging pearls, in an endless stream.

In the midst of this auspicious cloud, there is a lifelike soul of Chen Yun, about one or two feet in size, sitting upright.

The rosy glow illuminated the entire Sun Moon Lake.

So that every person and every spiritual beast in the cave is illuminated by the rosy glow.

At this moment, the Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven seemed to have turned into a world of rosy clouds!

Yan Feng, Niu Dali and Master Jingchen took a glimpse of her and immediately felt disbelief.

That is, they felt that even if the sky fell down at this moment, Chen Yun's Qingyun would be able to hold it up!

Seeing this, Yan Feng could no longer hold back and asked loudly: "Master Chen, have you cultivated to the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm?"

Niu Dali and Master Jingchen were also very curious and looked at Chen Yun's face.

Chen Yun smiled like a breeze, nodded slightly and said: "Yes, I have reached the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm."
