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

Chapter 625 Yangsha Changing Bones
In the quiet room, Chen Yun was quietly listening to the Jade Emperor teaching his skills.

Waves of ethereal divine sounds seemed to rise directly into his mind.

"One who has cultivated the body... cleanses the mind and thoughts, forgets the environment when facing it, lets go of all external thoughts, does not let external thoughts enter, does not let internal thoughts come out, does not have a single thought, forgets everything... seems to exist but does not exist, do not let it be interrupted, the breath depends on the mind, the nature is settled and the life is settled, the nature and life are both complete, the body and spirit are both wonderful, and one is in harmony with the Tao."

This voice was like a brand, deeply engraved in Chen Yun's memory.

He was very surprised while listening to the first paragraph.

This is just a short paragraph, but it already involves almost all the contents of "Refining the Spirit and Harmonizing with the Tao".

Chen Yun immediately realized how profound this profound skill was.

He focused more and continued to listen to the content of this mysterious skill.

“Clear and clear, far and wide… The four images are in harmony, the five qi return to the origin, the three flowers gather at the top of the head, returning to the origin, returning to the root, all gods return to one, all-encompassing, all-tolerant… The achievements are complete, the yin is exhausted and the yang is pure, the holy fetus is achieved, there is a body within the body, the god becomes a true saint… Born from the innate, born without form, grown from the innate, grown without body… Eternal immortality and indestructibility, coexisting with all saints… Live as long as the heaven and earth, and as old as the sun and the moon, only then can one obtain the golden immortal fruit.”

Chen Yun knew that the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit here did not refer to becoming a Buddha, but to the Half-Step Daluo Realm.

The second paragraph is expected to allow one to cultivate to the Half-Step Daluo realm. This profound skill is truly extensive and profound.

He immediately became more serious and continued to listen to the Jade Emperor teaching him skills.

"The Tao is originally nothingness. In the Three Talents and Six Combinations, everything is spiritual and holy. The Tao is the ancestor of all saints and the ancestor of all things... Taiji is the origin of Qi. The intersection of the two yin and yang gives rise to the four images. The different positions of yin and yang determine the heaven and earth... The primordial Qi of the universe proves eternity."

Soon, the Jade Emperor finished reciting all the incantations.

Chen Yun was still immersed in the mystery, constantly trying to combine its contents with inner alchemy, trying to find a way to cultivate the Yang God faster.

Just as he was thinking about it, the voice of the Jade Emperor sounded in his mind again, "This is the fruit of the Hunyuan Dao. If you can comprehend the mystery, I dare not say that you can achieve the Hunyuan, but at least you can achieve half a step to Daluo."

Chen Yun naturally knew what Hunyuan Daoguo meant, that was the Daluo realm.

Hunyuan is when the primordial energy has not yet been divided and there is only chaos. This is the beginning of the primordial energy!

It is rumored that Yuanshi Tianzun was born before chaos, before the nothingness, and at the beginning of primordial energy, hence the name "Yuanshi".

From this we can see how mysterious the Hunyuan Dao Fruit is.

Chen Yun really didn't expect that he would have the chance to hear the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

You should know that among all the heavens and worlds, only the Three Pure Ones, the Three Realms, the Three Treasures and the Jade Emperor understand the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, while other gods do not know it.

The Three Pure Ones, the Three Realms, and the Three Treasures are all Daluo immortals themselves, so it is not surprising that they understand the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.

Although the Jade Emperor has not yet attained the status of Daluo Immortal, he has previously taken the initiative to reveal that he was originally supposed to be the "Yuanshi Tianzun" of this world, but had to "give up his throne" for some reasons, so it is normal for him to understand the Hunyuan Daoguo.

Chen Yun was moved and said, "God, will you also pass on the Hunyuan Dao Fruit to me?"

The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "This is your destiny. Today you have learned the Hunyuan Dao Fruit, and tomorrow it will be my turn to attain Daluo."

Chen Yun didn't quite understand what it meant, but he knew that these sacred speeches liked to be evasive and make people guess. It didn't matter if he couldn't guess it now, he would understand it when the opportunity came.

The Jade Emperor said: "This is a mysterious skill, not a way to protect yourself. How much you can understand from the mysterious skill depends entirely on your own luck."

Chen Yun said: "I have already learned the profound skills, so I dare not ask for a way to protect myself."

"Oh, that's wrong." The Jade Emperor said meaningfully, "The Mysterious Art helps you practice, it's a long-term plan, not an emergency solution. What if you encounter a situation like today again? You must learn this self-defense method, otherwise it would be bad to die halfway."

Chen Yun hurriedly said: "Thank God for your favor."

The Jade Emperor said, "It's nothing. I'm teaching you this body-protection method, which is derived from the mysterious skill I taught you just now. It's called the Eight Scenery Body-Protecting Scripture. Only after you have learned the mysterious skill I taught you just now can you use this magic. When this magic is used, it will mobilize the power of the heavens and myriad worlds to produce the Eight Scenery, which is invulnerable to all kinds of attacks and indestructible. In fact, if your cultivation level is high enough, you can also comprehend this magic from the mysterious skill by yourself. However, your cultivation level is relatively low now, so I will teach it to you directly."

Immediately, the Jade Emperor taught the "Eight Scenic Spots Body Protection Sutra".

This time the teaching was different from the previous oral instruction. Instead, it was in the form of "enlightenment", allowing Chen Yun to directly understand how to perform this magic.

Chen Yun immediately understood how powerful this spell was.

As the name suggests, "Eight Scenic Spots Body Protection Sutra" will present eight scenes to protect the body once it is performed.

The eight scenes are: the vast ocean, the majestic mountains, the beautiful Zhonghua Mountain, the shining moon and sun, the magical brilliance of the jade, the mist and clouds, the abyss of clouds and rainbows, and the starry river.

These are the eight scenes that can be displayed.

In fact, it has a ninth scene.

It’s just that nine is an extreme number, and once it is used it can really destroy the world, so the Jade Emperor did not teach it.

It is said that the ninth scene is called "Chaos and Hongmeng".

The "Eight Scenes Body-Protecting Sutra" does not have any offensive capabilities due to the lack of the ninth scene, but it has amazing defensive power.

Just as the Jade Emperor said, it is invulnerable and indestructible.

No matter whether the enemy uses magic or any magical weapons, they cannot break through this defense.

Of course, nothing is perfect.

The "Eight Scenic Spots Body-Protecting Sutra" also has a flaw, or a point that can be cracked.

This problem is also caused by the lack of the ninth scene "Chaos Hongmeng", which makes it impossible to unify the eight scenes. If someone can concentrate their efforts to break through one of the scenes, or find a "weak point" similar to the eye of the formation in one of the scenes, then the remaining seven scenes will collapse without a fight.

This possibility is very small.

Because those who are not familiar with the Eight Scenic Spots can only break them with great magical powers.

However, the huge mana required to break through the Eight Scenes is impossible for an ordinary Half-Step Daluo to do so.

In addition, these eight scenes were comprehended by the Jade Emperor from his profound skills. Perhaps the only people in the world who are familiar with them are the Jade Emperor himself and Chen Yun, who was taught the skills.

After Chen Yun understood the "Eight Scenery Body Protection Sutra", he couldn't help but exclaimed: "This magic of God is really mysterious to the extreme."

"It is indeed very mysterious." The Jade Emperor was not being modest, but his next sentence became very serious: "Don't use this spell unless it is absolutely necessary. Otherwise, the power of the heavens and the worlds will gather on you. Even if your body is extremely strong, you will not be able to withstand it and will suffer a serious backlash. This is a spell to save your life, not for you to use in ordinary battles. Well, in ordinary battles, you have the Clear Sky Sword, which should be enough to withstand the power."

Chen Yun finally understood that the defensive power of the "Eight Scenes Body Protection Sutra" was even stronger than that of the Haotian Sword.

He hurriedly said, "Park understands."

The Jade Emperor nodded, "In that case, you should practice hard. If there is anything you don't understand, don't ask anyone else. Just burn the book and report it to me. I will find time to explain it to you in detail."

After saying this, he "hung up the phone." Chen Yun roughly understood why the Jade Emperor did not allow him to ask others, probably to prevent the "Hunyuan Dao Fruit" from being stolen by others.

He studied it carefully for a while and when he had roughly sorted out some things, he didn't realize that it was already dawn.

……

As expected, the Khitan army was defeated.

Generals such as Zhao Yanshou and Zhao Yanzhao managed to escape with their lives, and the loss of soldiers was not great, with about a hundred people killed and three to four hundred injured. However, because the stronghold was breached, the Khitan army could no longer pose any threat to Liyang City and could only find other routes to cross the Yellow River.

During this period, Yelu Deguang was furious and severely scolded Zhao Yanshou, Zhao Yanzhao and other generals.

If the problem only occurred in Liyang City, it would not be a big deal. After all, the large army led by Yelu Deguang was the main force on the eastern front.

However, problems also arose on the Western Front.

The Khitan army in the west was led by Yelu Deguang's uncle, Prince Ming, Yelu Anduan. They marched south from Yanmen Pass and besieged Xin and Dai states in order to contain the forces of the Later Jin Dynasty in Hedong. Originally, everyone thought that there would be no problems on the western front, after all, it was just a diversion.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhiyuan, who later became the Emperor Gaozu of the Later Han Dynasty and now the Recruiting Envoy of Youzhou Road of the Later Jin Dynasty, defeated the Khitan army in Xinkou, causing an almost complete rout of the western front.

Upon hearing such shocking news, Yelu Deguang immediately felt as if he had fallen into an endless abyss.

In the past few days, the Khitan army had the upper hand, and the Later Jin Dynasty even considered ceding land and paying compensation. Yelu Deguang never imagined that the situation would change so quickly.

He suddenly recalled what Chen Yun had said before, and regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

So, Yelu Deguang quickly took a bath and changed his clothes, and went to visit Chen Yun to seek advice on the battle.

Unfortunately, Chen Yun had learned the mysterious skills taught by the Jade Emperor and was in seclusion to comprehend them, so Yelu Deguang was unable to see him at all.

For a moment, Yelu Deguang was terrified. He thought that he had angered Chen Yun by his previous disobedience, and he looked very nervous.

……

Quiet room.

Chen Yun would naturally not ignore Yelu Deguang just because he had been disobedient before. After all, according to the historical trajectory, if he wanted to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty, he had to rely on the Khitan.

The reason why he did not meet Yelu Deguang was that he had indeed comprehended the key point of the profound art.

"This profound art is truly extensive and profound. I have been immersed in the Taoist scriptures for decades, but I still cannot get a glimpse of the true meaning."

Chen Yun sighed and thought, "Although I haven't comprehended the true meaning, I still benefited a lot. If I am not wrong, and practice according to my understanding, I hope that in a day or two, my body will be full of pure Yang and I can build a Yang God Palace."

Once the Yang God Palace is established, the stage of refining the Yang God will truly begin.

Chen Yun knew that the "Yang God Palace" was a figurative reference, and it did not mean that a palace was really being built in his body. Instead, it meant that his bone replacement was completely completed, and the ghost mountain in his body was burned out, so that he could use water to seek fire, and use yin to seek yang. When water and fire were in harmony, and yin and yang were in harmony, then naturally his whole body would be filled with pure yang.

In fact, this realm involves the interaction between yin and yang, which is a very profound realm.

As the saying goes, fire is born from water. Just imagine, "fire and water cannot coexist" is an adjective. If a person can achieve fire being born from water, what a high level of realm that is!
Now that Chen Yun knew how to quickly build the Yangshen Palace, he naturally would not waste any more time.

He stirred the solar energy he absorbed within his body, and put it into practice using the profound skills taught to him by the Jade Emperor.

In the past, when practicing the fifth level of skills, Chen Yun would feel the energy in his heart beating, but this time, he used the mysterious skills of the Jade Emperor and actually felt that his heart seemed to be "burning".

This kind of burning is different from the ignition of the heart fire in normal practice. It is hot but not dry, scorching but not burning.

As this "burning" continued, he sensed that countless "yang sands" seemed to have accumulated in his dantian.

These "yang sands" are constantly integrated into the bones as the exercises are practiced.

All of a sudden, Chen Yun was sweating profusely, and all the sweat looked like white paste.

He knew that this was the process of changing the Yang Sand into bones. Once all of them were replaced with "Immortal Bones", he could then proceed to the last step before truly refining the Yang God, which was to build the Yang God Palace.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The progress of Yangsha changing bones is increasing.

About two or three hours later, it was already night outside and Chen Yun stopped practicing.

At this moment, his whole body seemed to be covered with white ointment.

Chen Yun's whole body shook slightly, and the white paste that had already condensed was shattered and scattered all over the ground.

He used magic to clean his body again, and then carefully checked the progress.

It's okay not to check.

Upon inspection, Chen Yun showed a surprised look, "I used the mysterious skill Yangsha bone replacement taught by the Jade Emperor, and it was successful in just one day?"

Although he knew that there were actually a lot of his previous accumulations in it, it would take a relatively long time for all of those accumulations to be converted into immortal bones.

After all, nothing can be accomplished overnight.

The most important thing in Yang Sand Bone Renewal is to accumulate Yang Sand, which itself requires a lot of time to refine the sun's essence.

Chen Yun had previously predicted that without any external help, it would take three years to accumulate enough yang sand to replace the bones. Later, with the guidance of the Queen Mother of the West and the Pure Yang Fire Dragon Pill, this time could be shortened to about three months. What surprised him was that with the Jade Emperor's mysterious skills, it only took him one practice to achieve success.

The main reason was that he originally needed the help of external objects to refine the sun's essence into yang sand, but this was not the case now.

According to the mysterious skills of the Jade Emperor, he can use his own magic power combined with the energy of the sun to directly refine a large amount of yang sand.

Because of this, he easily completed the accumulation of Yang Sand and then went through the bone-changing process.

"Now that all my bones have been replaced with celestial bones, not only has my defense increased greatly, but my entire body seems to have lost its turbidity and become incredibly light."

Chen Yun knew that Yangsha's bone replacement was successful, which greatly increased his strength.

Let me put it this way, nowadays in the immortal realm, as long as you don’t directly attack his soul, it is generally difficult to break his physical defense.

Chen Yun was very satisfied with this, but he was not complacent.

He thought to himself, "Since the Yang Sand Bone Renewal has been successful, I can now proceed to the last step before refining the Yang God, which is to build the Yang God Palace."

Chen Yun secretly hoped that building the Yangshen Palace would be as smooth as changing his bones with Yangsha.
