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

Chapter 583 The Birth of the Golden Axe and Golden Scissors
Countless people saw the strange glow and looked towards the southwest basin from time to time.

Everyone who saw this scene was moved, knowing that there was a Dafa practitioner who had reached the pinnacle of cultivation.

The three flowers gather at the top of the head and the five qi converge into one, which is the transcendent realm of inner alchemy practice.

Chen Yun has now cultivated to the realm of Five Qis Converging to Origin, and is only one step away from Three Flowers Converging to the Top of the Head.

What does the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to the Origin mean?
The three flowers in the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head refer to three processes of cultivation: refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, and refining spirit into emptiness.

The human flower is the refining of essence into qi. Human beings are born from essence, so essence is the seed of reincarnation. The heart of a cultivator must be empty in the lower part of the body, and lust must be abstained from. If the essence is not discharged carelessly, then the essence will be full and lust will not be thought of, and the lead flower will be born.
The ground flower refines qi and transforms it into spirit. Human survival depends on qi, so the heart must be empty in the lower part of the body, without fear or alarm, without anger or resentment. Then the qi will be smooth, the path will be unobstructed, the qi in the middle will be sufficient and one will not want to eat, and the silver flower will grow.
Smallpox is the result of refining the spirit and returning to emptiness. Although the essence and energy are sufficient, if there is no spirit, the body will be dull and the person will have no life. Therefore, the spirit is the master. Now the upper part of the mind is empty, without attachment. When the spirit is full and there is no desire to sleep, one will always be clear and awake. Then the shell will be shed and the person will return to emptiness. When he enters the state of emptiness, the golden flower will be born.

This is an extremely profound realm.

Once one is able to cultivate to the point where the Three Flowers gather at the Top of the Head, then one becomes a true immortal.

As for the Five Qis Converging to the Origin, it is a state of cultivation corresponding to the Three Flowers Converging to the Top of the Head, and there is no distinction between high and low.

The Five Qis Returning to the Origin refers to the return of all the Qi in the human body to its original positions, with the acupoints unobstructed and without any blockage. It represents that the practitioner makes the Five Elements Qi return to the five internal organs of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys through practice.

The energy of the five elements is not the ordinary five elements.

1. The heart contains the spirit. The acquired spirit is the consciousness spirit, and the innate spirit is the courtesy. If one is empty of sorrow, the spirit will be settled, and the fire energy of the Red Emperor in the South will face the origin.

Second, the liver stores the soul. The acquired soul is the wandering soul and the innate soul is benevolence. If you are empty in joy, the soul will be settled and the wood energy of the Eastern Green Emperor will return to the origin.

Third, the spleen stores the mind. The acquired mind represents false thoughts, while the innate mind represents faith. If one is free from desires, the mind will be settled, and the earth energy of the central Yellow Emperor will return to the origin.

Fourth, the lungs store the soul. The acquired soul is the ghost soul, and the innate soul is righteousness. If you are free from anger, the soul will be stable, and the golden energy of the White Emperor in the West will converge towards the origin.

Fifth, the kidneys store essence. The acquired essence is turbid essence, and the innate essence is wisdom. If one is empty in pleasure, the essence will be settled, and the water vapor of the Mo Emperor in the north will flow toward the origin.

According to the theory of inner alchemy practice, when the three flowers gather at the top of the head and the five qi return to the origin, the five elements must return to the five elders, and the three flowers must transform into the three pure ones. Only then can they return to the original infinite body and reach perfection, thus becoming a god.

In other words, whether it is the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head or the Five Qis Converging to the Origin, it should be the manifestation of the immortal realm.

Although Chen Yun has not yet cultivated to the immortal realm, nor reached the transcendent level of Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, he has perfected the fourth level of "Pangu's True Body Art" and has actually reached the realm of Five Qis Converging to Origin.

In short, his physical body was already comparable to the true divine realm, but God was not yet.

All he had to do was to refine the "Golden Flower" before he could truly achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to the Origin. To achieve this, he had to refine the Yang Spirit.

"No wonder I was automatically practicing my skills all the time before. It turns out I am on the verge of the Five Qis Returning to the Origin."

Chen Yun finally understood why many of the Northeast's exorcist sect leaders and Nie He tacitly stayed in the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm, but did not reach the so-called late stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

It turns out that when one's spiritual practice reaches this level, one is already on the verge of the Three Flowers Converging at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to the Origin.

Once the Three Flowers Gather at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Converge to the Origin, except for special circumstances, one has basically cultivated to the immortal realm, so where does the late stage of the earthly immortal realm come from?
Chen Yun estimated that the reason why "Lord Tiger" was able to break through the limitation of the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm and reach the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm was because of his practice method. Although his strength could be further improved, his level should still remain before the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to the Origin.

To achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to the Origin, one needs great magic power, great perseverance, and great wisdom; none of the three can be missing.

Therefore, many immortals in Northeast China would not waste their magic power on improving their strength, but instead invested their magic power in the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to the Origin, hoping to break the shackles and become immortals in one fell swoop.

"It is difficult to gather the three flowers at the top of the head, and it is also difficult to gather the five qi at the origin."

Chen Yun put away his soul and sighed, "Although I have completed the Five Qis Returning to the Origin by relying on the fourth level of the Pangu True Body Technique, I don't know when I can reach this state of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head."

He could sense that when he reached the middle stage of the Earthly Immortal Realm, it would be impossible to strengthen his body any further unless he found another way. This method had been noted in the fifth level of "Pangu's True Body Art", which was to use the energy of the sun to perform "yang sand to replace bones", "yin to eliminate flesh", and "replace the internal organs", which corresponded to three levels respectively.

As for the soul, once it has reached such a level, it cannot be strengthened any further.

In other words, strength can be increased, but realm will not be improved.

If Chen Yun wants to improve his realm, he only needs to do one thing, which is to "refine the Yang God".

This is the method of the Golden Elixir Avenue to achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to the Origin.

As for how other cultivation systems achieve this, Chen Yun doesn't know much.

I only know that it is vaguely mentioned in the "Laozi Xianger Zhu", "Bajiu Xuan Gong" and "Feiling Yufu" and other exercises, and I have to figure it out for myself.

"My immortal body is much stronger than a real immortal body because of my practice of Pangu's True Body Technique. I'm afraid that except for special magic weapons and some extremely mysterious secret methods, nothing else can break it."

Chen Yun can now say with certainty that even if Taoist Gou Teng takes out the "Starry Fire Cover", he can bathe in it without being hurt at all.

Yes, his physical body is now so incredibly powerful!
He is so powerful that it is not impossible for him to fight against the gods alone.

Of course, this is only the physical level, it will not work when it comes to the soul.

"It's a pity that my soul realm is still relatively weak. If someone attacks my soul, I'm afraid I may not be able to resist it."

Chen Yun secretly thought about his own situation and analyzed his current combat power.

Suddenly, Master Jingchen's extremely moving voice came to my ears, "Master Chen, I see that your five energies are converging to the origin, and the three flowers are faintly condensing. Could it be that you have cultivated to the immortal realm?"

Chen Yun turned his head to look and saw that Yan Feng, Niu Dali and Master Jingchen all had horror on their faces.

He smiled and shook his head, saying: "I have not yet cultivated to the immortal realm. I still have a long way to go to reach such a high level."

Yan Feng asked doubtfully, "Then the Master we saw earlier, you have already reached the Five Qis Returning to the Origin?"

Niu Dali also looked puzzled. "Although the ancestor cultivated to the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm, he once said that this was a wrong way of cultivation. It was just that he couldn't achieve the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Converging to the Origin, so he chose to do this to enhance his own strength. Master Chen, you have achieved the Five Qis Converging to the Origin, and the Three Flowers seem to be condensing as well. How come you don't have the Divine Immortal Realm?"

The ancestor he mentioned was referring to his ancestor's master Feng Junda.

Chen Yun smiled and explained, "I have indeed achieved the Five Qis Converging to the Origin, and my physical body is no different from that of the immortal realm. It's just that I am temporarily unable to achieve the Three Flowers Converging to the Top of the Head. Therefore, I have not reached the immortal realm. Just now you said that there is still a long way to go. You should know that the sign of inner alchemy to reach the immortal realm is to refine a pure yang god without yin, which is what inner alchemy practitioners often call the Yang God. I haven't refined it yet."

"what?"

"The physical body is the same as the immortal realm?"

"It's just that you haven't cultivated the Yang God, so you haven't achieved immortality?"

Yan Feng, Niu Dali and Master Jingchen were all stunned.

No one expected that such an unusual situation would occur during Chen Yun's practice.

It is impossible for Chen Yun to say that this is because he practiced the "Pangu True Body Art".

If I let other people know that I possess such a mysterious Dafa, I am afraid many people would put themselves in danger, and I would never have a peaceful life again.

Chen Yun said vaguely: "I had some strange encounters, so this happened. No matter what, ordinary people can't reach the perfect state in advance like me. You asked me to explain the principle, but I can't explain it."

Upon hearing this, Yan Feng, Niu Dali and Master Jingchen felt extremely regretful.

They also thought that Chen Yun had taken some spiritual roots from heaven and earth, which was why he was like this now.

The spiritual roots of heaven and earth are hard to come by, so of course they gave up the idea.

Chen Yun didn't want to talk too much about his own situation with everyone, so he changed the subject and said, "According to the date, the golden axe and golden scissors should be born tomorrow, right?"

Yan Feng immediately replied, "Yes, once the midnight hour has passed, the golden axe and golden scissors will appear."

The modern way of calculating time is to start the next day after midnight.

In fact, this was not the case in ancient times.

In ancient times, people believed that the first hour of the day was Zi hour.

In other words, when the Zi hour comes, it is actually the next day. For example, when someone dies in modern times, the time is also counted as the Zi hour.

If the person dies before 11 o'clock at night, it will be counted as one day, and the body will be kept for another day, and the funeral will be held on the third day.

If the death occurs between 11pm and 12am, the body will be kept for two days and the funeral will be held on the fourth day.

Chen Yun calculated the time and said, "There are still nine hours left. We can just wait here quietly."

Yan Feng said: "Good."

Niu Dali and Master Jingchen were just bystanders, so naturally they had no objections.

……

Time passes minute by minute.

Perhaps it was because he knew that the Golden Axe and Golden Scissors were about to be released.

Chen Yun, Yan Feng, Niu Dali and Master Jingchen sat there cross-legged without talking to each other the whole day.

Everyone looked quietly towards the paulownia tree and the depths of the sacred iron, wanting to be the first to see the grand spectacle of the birth of the golden axe and golden scissors.

At this time, it was almost midnight.

Suddenly, a series of earthquakes occurred inexplicably.

"Ok?"

Chen Yun looked around and saw that the spiritual energy of the entire Sun Moon Lake cave had become chaotic.

These spiritual energies seemed to be attracted by something and continued to gather towards the southwest basin.

In the blink of an eye, the southwestern basin, which was originally filled with the sun's true fire, was covered with a thin layer of "fog".

In fact, anyone who practices cultivation knows that this is not the so-called "fog", but the spiritual energy gathered into a substantial form.

Yan Feng said with a moved expression: "The golden axe and golden scissors are about to be born. Their spirits are awakening and absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Once they absorb enough, they will break through the phoenix tree and the magic iron and appear in front of us. At that time, we can just take them directly."

Niu Dali didn't know much about this, and asked curiously: "Don't you need some secret method to get the treasure?"

Yan Feng said, "No need. Just don't get hurt by the light emitted by the golden axe and golden scissors. Just hold them and take them away. As for whether you can use them, it depends on whether you can make the spirit of the weapon submit. Although I have a secret method to sacrifice and refine magic weapons, because my own cultivation level is relatively low, I may not be able to make the spirit of the weapon submit in time. It will take dozens or hundreds of years to sacrifice and refine them before I can hope to control them. Master Chen has a high level of cultivation. If you follow the method of sacrifice and refinement I will teach you later, it should only take forty-nine days."

Chen Yun didn't expect Yan Feng to be so insightful that he was willing to share with him the secret method of alchemy axe and golden scissors.

He bowed and said, "Thank you, Brother Daoist Yan."

Yan Feng smiled and said, "You and I are good friends, why should we be so polite?"

As he spoke, he looked at Master Jingchen, "Master, you and Long Zhantian originally wanted to come here to get the golden axe and golden scissors. I believe you also have the secret method of offering sacrifices to the spirit of the weapon, right?"

Nun Jingchen smiled and said, "Indeed, I have. If Mr. Yan had not offered to give Master Chen the secret method just now, I would have given it to him later."

Chen Yun smiled, knowing that Master Jingchen would not lie.

In other words, if Yan Feng doesn't give the secret method of sacrifice, the other party will indeed give it to him.

This made him feel better about the two of them than before.

I have to say, what more could a person ask for if he could make these three good friends?

Just as I was thinking about it, the earth shaking became more and more violent.

Even cracks appeared on the ground.

It was like an earthquake.

Chen Yun and Yan Feng stopped chatting and continued to stare ahead.

Niu Dali and Master Jingchen also knew that the baby was about to be born, so no one made a sound.

As the shaking became more violent, two strong golden lights rippled from the paulownia tree and the divine iron.

Although the two golden lights were intense, they condensed into one beam and did not radiate light in all directions.

Suddenly, a wonderful scene formed in the southwest basin.

Two golden lights like divine dragons pierced through the clouds and stood between heaven and earth like Optimus Prime.

This situation lasted for about an incense stick of time.

Finally, when the thin mist-like spiritual energy was completely absorbed, two earth-shaking noises rang out almost at the same time.

Boom!

Boom!

The huge noise made the entire Sun Moon Lake tremble slightly.

Along with these two loud noises, the paulownia tree instantly exploded into countless pieces.

A three-foot-long golden axe suddenly rose into the sky.

It kept shaking, exuding an awe-inspiring and terrifying aura of killing.

The scene at the sacred iron location on the other side was almost exactly the same.

Countless pieces of divine iron were broken into fist-sized pieces and scattered high into the sky.

Among these scattered divine irons, there was a pair of large scissors about one foot long, which looked like two divine dragons and emitted a strong golden light. It also released an extremely terrifying murderous aura, which was horrifying.

Yan Feng laughed loudly, "The treasure has been born, Master Chen, you and I will collect it together."

After saying that, he turned into a stream of light and flew straight towards the golden axe.

Chen Yun took a step forward, and his whole body seemed to turn into a wisp of green smoke and a ray of light, suddenly disappearing from the sight of Niu Dali and Master Jingchen.

When Niu Dali and Master Jingchen captured Chen Yun's figure again, they found that he had come to the side of the golden scissors.

On one side was Yan Feng, who was excitedly releasing rich immortal energy to resist the golden light and putting away the golden axe.

On the other side was Chen Yun, who was standing still without any movement, walking on clouds and mist like an otherworldly master, holding the golden scissors in one hand.

The two are in stark contrast.

Niu Dali and Master Jingchen looked at each other and sighed, "Master Chen, you are truly a god!"

Nun Jingchen also sighed, "Yes, as expected of Master Chen who has reached the Five Qis Converging to the Origin realm. He didn't even release any immortal qi to resist the golden light, but took the golden scissors for himself. His body is so strong."

Chen Yun could naturally hear the two people's sighs, but he did not feel complacent at all. Instead, he tightly gripped the golden scissors and sensed waves of terrifying power coming from inside this super magic weapon.

He had a feeling that if he was cut by the golden scissors, he would be dead or alive.

What a baby!
What a wonderful treasure!

They are worthy of being the two most powerful magic weapons in the Sun Moon Lake Cave Heaven!

Although Chen Yun has not yet sacrificed the alchemical scissors, let alone witnessed its power, he can vaguely feel that even gods would not dare to withstand the unparalleled power of these golden scissors. No wonder it can kill the evil dragon that swallows the sun and the moon!
