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

Chapter 605 Helping You Refine the Yang God

The state of both perfect body and spirit is a very advanced realm in the practice of Dandao. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as the ultimate. This level often appears in the stage of refining the void and merging with the Tao.

Logically speaking, Chen Yun had just completed the process of refining Qi into spirit and had not yet entered the stage of refining spirit into emptiness. He should not have had the wonderful feeling of both body and soul, but he still felt it.

The main reason is that Zhonglu Dandao is somewhat different from other internal alchemy techniques.

The Zhonglu School calls refining the spirit and returning to emptiness "refining the spirit and merging with the Tao." The basic idea is "gathering the spirit into spirit, merging the spirit into the Tao, returning to the upper elixir, and then transcending."

This section of skills is based on the seven returns and nine returns, practicing the skills of the golden liquid and jade liquid to return the elixir, so that the upper, middle and lower three fields are connected (mated), yin and yang go back and forth to return the elixir, so as to nourish the spirit and be in harmony with the Tao.

In other inner alchemy practice systems, refining the spirit and returning to emptiness is just refining the spirit and returning to emptiness, and above that is refining emptiness and merging with the Tao.

For example, the Wu-Liu School believes that after refining Qi and going out of the trance, the spirit should be refined back to the void. "The spirit is pure and complete, and the fetus is satisfied. It must not stay in the fetus for a long time. Then use the migration method to migrate from the middle and lower Dantian to the upper Dantian, and add the method of breastfeeding for three years." Here, the upper Dantian is called Niwan Palace, which is the original palace where the Yang spirit returns. When returning to the original palace, the spirit is not yet strong, like a young baby, and must rely on breastfeeding, so it is called breastfeeding.

The later Sanfeng School also followed the method of refining the spirit and returning to emptiness, which was not the method of refining the emptiness and merging with the Tao of the Zhonglu School.

The Sanfeng School believes that one moment of effort can take away a year's worth of energy, and at this point one is still in the state of true emptiness and purity. Or it may take one or two years, or even ten or a hundred years, to break through the void and become one with the void. This is the effort of refining the spirit and returning to the void.

Although the inner alchemy schools are similar, there are always some differences.

Of course, Chen Yun also vaguely felt that he was about to achieve perfection in both form and spirit, but in reality he had not yet reached this level.

Although his body and soul did not really perish, he suddenly realized that he should cultivate his Yang Shen.

Chen Yun was quite moved, "It turns out that I have already stepped into the level of Yang Refining God without realizing it."

He really didn't expect that his practice would progress so quickly.

Thinking back to the past, it took me decades of effort to achieve enlightenment and become an immortal. After finally cultivating to the human immortal realm, I stayed there for more than ten years.

After entering the Earthly Immortal Realm, thanks to various adventures and the help of the Spirit Transformation Soup, it only took him more than two years to easily reach the Yang God Refining Stage.

In two years, some people may not even have accomplished the hundred-day foundation-building and grain-refining into essence, but you are about to enter the divine immortal realm from the earthly immortal realm?
This speed of cultivation is undoubtedly terrifying.

Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh that it would be different if there was a panacea.

He was completely immersed in that mysterious sublimation, knowing that his realm had been elevated again.

After a moment, he slowly woke up from his sublimated senses, reached out to the Uncaria tree that Taoist Gou Teng turned into after his death, and put it into the Hu Tianshu space.

In fact, when Chen Yun reached this level, it no longer mattered whether he knew the Hu Tian Shu or not.

He can create a small world at any time, and the space is even larger than that of Hu Tianshu.

It's just that he was used to using the Hu Tian Shu, and almost everything was inside, so he habitually put them in there.

This Uncaria rhynchophylla tree cannot be treated in any way and needs to be sent to Kunlun to the Queen Mother of the West.

Therefore, he naturally had to put away the Uncaria rhynchophylla tree to prevent it from being used by other people to make medicine.

At this time, there was no movement in Beizhou City.

Chen Yun continued to stretch out his hand, and the Taibai Demon-Slaying Sword was immediately captured in his palm.

Almost at the same time, a startled and angry shout suddenly came from Beizhou City, "Chen Pu, how dare you!?"

Chen Yun looked up and saw Kuimulang looking at him fiercely.

Of course he knew what the other party meant.

It simply means that he even dared to take the Taibai Demon-Slaying Sword.

Chen Yun responded without any fear: "Xingjun, why don't I dare?"

Kuimulang narrowed his eyes and said, "This is my precious sword!"

Chen Yun chuckled, "Why is your sword in Gou Teng's hand?"

Kuimulang was speechless.

Why does he value this sword so much?

The Taibai Demon-Slaying Sword was made using the Qi of Enlightenment and many precious natural treasures. Killing people is secondary to its function. Its main function is to kill demons. Kuimulang uses it to subdue monsters.

It can be said that among Kuimulang's many weapons and magic tools, the Taibai Demon-Slaying Sword is also a leader, and only his personal sword can be better than it.

Now that Kuimulang saw that Chen Yun was going to take away the precious sword he had lent to Taoist Gou Teng, he was naturally unhappy.

However, he lent the sword to Taoist Gou Teng, and Taoist Gou Teng was killed by Chen Yun. Logically speaking, the sword became a trophy and Chen Yun could take it, so Kuimulang remained silent.

Kuimulang was very unwilling to give in. He snorted coldly without explaining anything, "I said no, so it's no. Return the sword to me!"

After saying this, he pointed with his finger, and an inexplicable force rose from nothingness.

Chen Yun only felt an irresistible force coming from his palm, and the precious sword was about to fly out of his palm.

"Humph!"

Another cold snort sounded, "Kui Su is so majestic!"

As soon as this voice sounded, Chen Yun realized that the great power released by Kuimulang had dissipated.

He turned his head to look and saw Nezha standing proudly, challenging Kuimu Lang to a fight: "If you want the sword, come and get it. I, Nezha, will fight you for a few moves!"

Kuimulang, who had been threatening, turned pale.

He clenched his fists, as if preparing for a big fight with Nezha.

General Zhao Da quickly advised: "A little impatience will ruin a great plan!"

Kuimu Lang gradually loosened his fist and did not respond to Nezha's words. Instead, he looked at Chen Yun coldly, "Keep the sword for me. I will definitely take it back someday!"

Chen Yun ignored him. After putting away his precious sword, he continued to challenge Beizhou City and said, "Gou Teng has been defeated. Who among you dares to come out and fight me?"

Kuimu Lang and General Zhao Da must not bully the weak, otherwise they will become a laughing stock if it gets out.

As for the other cultivators in the city, the strongest one is only at the early stage of the leader realm. How dare they come up and fight?

For a moment, the entire Beizhou City was silent.

Chen Yun put his hands behind his back and challenged again, "Is there anyone in Beizhou who dares to fight me?"

Still no one in Beizhou City dared to respond.

Chen Yunsan asked, "Is there anyone who dares to fight me?"

No one in Beizhou City spoke.

Chen Yun asked three questions, and Beizhou was silent!
At this moment, he was standing in the wilderness between Beizhou City and the Khitan army, looking majestic and imposing, as if he was a lone man blocking the way for ten thousand.

Chen Yun asked three questions in a row, of course, not to show off his heroism, but to make sure that no one in Beizhou City dared to challenge him, and then hand the balance of victory to the mortal army.

In other words, the subsequent attack and defense of Beizhou City has nothing to do with the saints and monks.

Kuimulang obviously also knew this truth.

If he doesn't say anything, even if the other eight star officials of Kuixiu arrive, he will not be able to come up and challenge them to a fight.

Because not engaging in battle today would be tantamount to tacitly admitting that the sacred beings and monks in Beizhou City have given up resistance, which would be considered as admitting defeat.

Now that you have admitted defeat, how can you send people to challenge me again?
If you want to get back at the game, you have to wait until the next game.

Of course, he can choose to fight immediately.

But doing so would inevitably bring Nezha a painful blow.

Kuimu Lang had no choice but to respond, so he compromised and said, "We will not fight today. We will see you again tomorrow!"

After saying that, Kuimulang led Zhao Da and a group of monks down the city wall.

Chen Yun said nothing more and moved back to the center of the Khitan army.

Zhao Yanshou was greatly encouraged upon seeing this, and immediately issued an order: "Three armies, listen up! Attack the city immediately!"

Orders were issued one after another.

All of a sudden, the entire Khitan vanguard army deployed their troops in an orderly manner, like a wound-up spring, pushed the siege equipment to the front, and began to attack Beizhou City.

The battle between mortals has little to do with Chen Yun, Nezha and others, and they will not participate in it.

A group of people were stationed in the central military tent, chatting quietly amid the overwhelming sounds of fighting.

Li Jing came up and praised: "Mr. Chen, good method."

Chen Yun said modestly, "You are too kind, Li Tianwang. I won by luck." The Nine-Headed Bull Demon King was quite straightforward. He said in a buzzing voice, "Victory is victory. How can it be lucky? Although you are only at the earthly realm, you have good means and intelligence."

"Brother Chen, you are really fierce." Nezha stepped forward and laughed, "Just now I was worried that you would not be able to defeat me. It seems that I was too worried."

Zhang Qian, Lin Chen, Niu Dali and Jiao Daoren all looked excited.

Chen Yun remained humble and showed no pride at all.

After chatting for a while, Li Jing was very tactful. He stretched out his hand and a golden rope appeared in his palm.

He handed it to Niu Dali and said, "Li lost the bet to you, so I give this demon-binding rope to you."

How could Niu Dali dare to really take it? He waved his hand and said, "This bet is just a joke, don't take it seriously, my king."

Li Jing said: "I am serious, please accept it."

Niu Dali looked at Chen Yun.

Chen Yun understood and said, "Li Tianwang, the demon-binding rope is precious. How about you just give me something else to fulfill the bet?"

Li Jing didn't have time to speak.

Nezha snatched the demon-binding rope and stuffed it into Niu Dali's hand, "Just keep it if I tell you to. He has several demon-binding ropes, so it doesn't matter if you lose this one."

Chen Yun and Niu Dali could see that although they considered this Demon-Binding Rope precious, it was just an ordinary thing in the eyes of Nezha, Li Jing and others, so they gave it away so readily.

"Brother Niu, please accept it." Chen Yun did not let Niu Dali be polite anymore.

"Good." Niu Dali responded, then looked at Li Jing and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Heavenly King, for giving me the treasure."

"Nothing." Li Jing took the initiative to explain: "As the name suggests, the Demon Binding Rope can capture demons. Once it is used, it will turn into a stream of light like a python, binding the demon so that it cannot move or use magic. However, it is only effective against demons, and has no effect on others."

Niu Dali said hurriedly: "Thank you, Heavenly King, for telling me."

Everyone chatted for a while.

Seeing that the Khitan army was attacking the city, Chen Yun said to everyone, "I have something else to do in Kunlun. You guys stay here to supervise the army. I will be back soon."

Nezha said: "Okay, leave this to me, you go and come back quickly."

Chen Yun said nothing more and used a teleportation technique to go to Kunlun Mountain.

……

Kunlun has always been full of mystery in the eyes of the world.

According to mythology, the Yuxu Palace, the Taoist temple of Yuanshi Tianzun, is located on it, so it is also known as "Yujing Mountain".

Because Kunlun is located above the northwest stem, it is also called Tianzhu.

The Kunlun Mountains connect the Pamir Plateau to the west and extend into Qinghai to the east. They are extremely high and steep, with many snow peaks and glaciers.

In ancient myths and legends, there are fairyland such as Yaochi, Langyuan, Zengcheng and County Garden on Kunlun Mountain.

After receiving the notification, Chen Yun followed the dragon girl under the Queen Mother of the West and came to the Kunlun fairyland.

There is a golden city ahead, with nine layers of clouds of five colors and a peak ten thousand feet high, going straight up to the Big Dipper, Huagai, and below the Purple House and Beichen.

It is majestic and majestic.

Chen Yun had seen the scenery here when he came back.

Now seeing such a fairyland again, I can’t help but sigh in my heart.

This Kunlun Mountain reaches up to the ninth heaven, and below it there are nine layers of weak water and huge waves that are ten thousand feet high. It is truly extraordinary.

Take a flying chariot and a feather wheel through the weak water and arrive at the Golden City.

Here there is a thousand-layered golden city, twelve jade towers, a Qionghua Palace, a light and green hall, a nine-story Xuantai, a purple jade alchemy room, a Yao Pond on the left, and green water on the right.

Chen Yun looked at the beautiful scene and felt quite refreshed.

Inside, there are jade palaces reaching to the sky, green terraces reaching up to the sky, blue and jade rooms, red and purple rooms, colorful curtains connected with jade, and bright moon shining in all directions.

Waited for a while outside the palace.

After the Dragon Girl had consulted with the Queen Mother of the West, she came out and led Chen Yun inside.

As soon as he entered the palace, Chen Yun heard bursts of melodious fairy sounds, which were the sounds of the legendary Eight Meetings.

The next moment, he saw a graceful and luxurious woman sitting on the throne in front of him.

The fairy is on the left, and the feather boy is on the right. The treasure cover is stepping on it, and the feathers shade the court.

There is a pair of couplets on the left and right pillars:
First couplet: That is to say, the blessed place is a fairy.

Second line: Close the Yaochi and worship the Golden Mother.

Horizontal batch: respond to all requests.

Although Chen Yun had seen the true appearance of the Queen Mother of the West last time, he still did not look at her directly when he came here this time.

Chen Yun knelt on the ground and said in a loud voice: "I am Chen Pu, a disciple of Zhenren Zhengyang from Ningyang Cave in Zhongnan Mountain, and I pay my respects to the ancestor Jinmu."

After saying this, he bowed three times and kowtowed.

At this time, a female voice like the sound of nature came to my ears, "Without courtesy, I will give you a seat."

Chen Yun thanked her and stood up. He saw that the Golden Mother was dressed the same as last time, sitting upright on the throne, wearing a golden sash, with bright literary talent, dignified and graceful manners, wearing a Lingfei large ribbon, a Fenjing sword on her waist, a Taihua bun on her head, a Taizhen Chenying crown on her head, and Xuanjuan shoes with Fengwen.

She is naturally graceful and has a peerless beauty.

Sacred and majestic, inviolable.

A feather boy brought a big red lacquer chair over for Chen Yun to sit down.

After Chen Yun thanked him, he sat down carefully.

At this moment, Queen Mother of the West did not speak, but just kept looking over.

Chen Yun sat there feeling a little nervous, wondering whether Jin Mu would blame him for killing Taoist Gou Teng.

To be honest, even if Jin's mother blamed him, Chen Yun would still do it.

The hatred between him and Taoist Gou Teng has reached an irreconcilable point, so how could he possibly hold back?

Overall, Chen Yun was quite satisfied with today's battle.

First, he used the Seven Treasures Magic Tree to obtain Taoist Gou Teng’s Star Fire Cover.

Secondly, he also obtained Kuimulang's Taibai Demon-Slaying Sword.

With these two treasures as trophies, the harvest is already very rich.

As for whether Queen Mother will blame her or not, it actually doesn’t matter at all.

At this moment, Queen Mother Xi slowly said, "Chongyong, do you know your crime of beating one of my disciples to death?"

Chen Yun understood as soon as he heard it. The Queen Mother of the West was not angry at all, otherwise she would not have called him by his courtesy name "Chongyong", but should have called him by his full name "Chen Pu".

But since the ancestor said so, he must make some statement.

Chen Yun stood up and clasped his fists, saying, "I know my crime, old ancestor, please punish me."

"You admitted your mistake quite readily." Queen Mother Xi laughed dumbly and said, "Why didn't you think twice before beating Gou Teng to death?"

Chen Yun spoke truthfully: "Disciple knows that killing the ancestor's disciples is a wrong thing, but it does not mean that killing Taoist Gou Teng is also a wrong thing."

This sentence makes it very clear that I should not kill your disciples, but I must kill Taoist Gou Teng.

Queen Mother Xi asked with great interest: "Why do you think it is right to kill Gou Teng?"

Chen Yun said: "Gou Teng and I have had a feud for decades. If I don't kill him today, my heart will never be perfect. Therefore, from my personal perspective, I am not wrong in this matter."

Queen Mother of the West nodded slightly and said: "Although your words are a bit far-fetched, your heart of Taoism is extremely firm. One day, you can achieve the realm of immortality."

At this point, she changed the subject and said, "Now that Gou Teng has been beaten to death by you, I want to discuss something with you. What do you think?"

Chen Yun asked, "May I ask what is this, ancestor?"

Queen Mother Xi did not speak immediately, but said slowly: "If you agree, I will tell you where the ancestral acupoint is and help you refine the Yang God. How about that?"
