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

Chapter 628: Heavenly White Jade Capital, Xuandu Taizhen King

Don’t insist that nature is the truth.

How to produce Yang Shen.

Nine out of ten are stubborn and empty.

If you get the destiny base with sex.

The sesame seed cakes made with white flour are accurate.

Chen Yun sat in the quiet room, and a poem he had seen in his previous life involuntarily popped up in his mind.

The name of this poem is "Bu Bu Jiao, Xiu Xian Wei Zhen", and the author is not known yet.

From the content of this poem, Chen Yun can infer that the author should be a person who practices Taoism, and his Taoism is very sophisticated and he knows the true meaning of Yang Shen.

Many people believe that it is enough to release the Yang Shen and keep one's mind focused. The Taoist technique of self-cultivation is to concentrate on one's thoughts in order to communicate with the spirit.

In fact, guarding one's mind one cannot really cultivate the Yang Spirit, so the poet used two words to describe it after "ten and nine guards", which is "stubborn emptiness".

Stubborn emptiness has two meanings.

First, it is a Buddhist term, referring to a state of nothingness where one is unconscious, thoughtless and inactive.

Secondly, the derogatory term for Buddhist and Taoist teachings probably means that after listening to some Buddhist principles of emptiness, or some people have not heard the Buddhist principles, through their visualization, they feel that everything in the world is empty.

In short, nothing exists.

Chen Yun knew that the "stubborn emptiness" in this poem referred to the second meaning.

If you simply keep oneness, you will fall into a kind of obsession, clinging to the so-called "emptiness".

One point he strongly agreed with about the poem was that, like making sesame cakes, there were traces to follow.

Chen Yun muttered to himself as he spoke of this method, "It is said in the 'Wu Zhen Pian': When three families meet, they will form a baby. The baby will contain the true Qi, and after ten months of pregnancy, it will enter the holy foundation."

Three families meet, which three families are they?
In the theory of internal alchemy, essence, energy and spirit are the three schools.

Essence, energy and spirit are originally one, but are divided into three after birth.

If you want to truly achieve the same longevity as heaven and earth and eternal immortality, you must return from the three to the one.

When one reaches this state, the Three Flowers Gather at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Return to the Origin.

Chen Yun has been practicing inner alchemy for decades, and also learned the "Song of the Right Path to Break the Mystery" from his mentor. Naturally, he understood how to cultivate the Yang Spirit and live as long as heaven and earth.

In fact, refining the Yang God is very simple. It is nothing more than practicing until the spirit is refined and returned to emptiness, and then in this process, it will naturally form.

When the Kung Fu reaches a certain level, the practitioner may see scenes of snowflakes flying and flowers falling in front of his eyes, and at this time he can basically achieve the state of Yang Shen.

Of course, achieving Yang Shen does not necessarily mean you will be able to do so just because you have reached a certain level of cultivation.

At the last moment of leaving the Yang God, there will often be interference from the illusion of magic.

Only by overcoming this catastrophe can one truly become a god.

"I have passed the stage of nurturing the holy fetus and caring for the baby. Now I have reached the stage of entering into a trance. I need to strengthen my spirit every day and refine the yin impurities in it."

Chen Yun kept recalling how to refine the Yang Spirit, "First, I have to enter the Void and perform the work of refining the Yin Dregs."

Thinking of this, he put aside all distracting thoughts, allowed himself to enter the "void", and began to refine the Yin dregs using the spiritual light bestowed by the Queen Mother of the West.

……

On the other hand, the first round of the Khitan's war to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty was in full swing.

Since the main forces of the Later Jin army were deployed in Chanzhou, relying on the strong city, they successfully blocked the eastern route army led by Yelu Deguang.

Yelu Deguang then sent his cousin Madar to lead tens of thousands of troops to attack Bozhou in the east, intending to rush across Majiakou. At this time, Yang Guangyuan, a rebel general of the Jin Dynasty, encircled the army from the flank, captured Yunzhou, and attacked the Jin army from the front.

Once the Khitan and Yang Guangyuan joined forces to capture Yunzhou, the capital of Jin would be directly exposed to the iron hooves of the Khitan cavalry.

On the first day of February, Mada led his army to the city of Bozhou. Zhou Ru, the governor of Bozhou in the Later Jin Dynasty, colluded with Yang Guangyuan and suddenly surrendered the city to the Khitan, and led the Khitan army to cross the river at Majiakou.

The garrison troops in Yuncheng were limited, so the defending general Guo Jin sent people to ask for help from Shi Chonggui, and at the same time sent General Cai Xingyu of the Left Wuwei Guard to lead hundreds of cavalry to the north to intercept.

Cai Xing was ambushed and captured, and his subordinates were soon defeated.

Upon receiving the urgent report, the Jin court immediately ordered He Chongjin, Bai Zairong, An Yanwei and others to guard Majiakou, Yangliu, Majiakou and Heyang respectively, and to strengthen the defense of various important ports.

At the same time, the Jin court sent Li Shouzhen, the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards cavalry, and Huangfu Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Shenwu army, to lead more than 10,000 troops, advancing both by land and sea, and quickly rushed to Majiakou to block the way.

When Li Shouzhen and others arrived at Majiakou, more than 10,000 Khitan infantry and cavalry had built fortifications on the east side of the river and were providing cover for the subsequent crossing of the river.

At this point, the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang still thought that he could lead his people to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty even without the help of Chen Yun and Erlang Shen.

However, Yelu Deguang's happiness did not last long, as things took a huge turn.

Li Shouzhen and others attacked the Khitan army halfway across the river and captured the Khitan army camp on the east bank.

The Khitan army on the east bank was defeated, with thousands of people drowned, captured and killed.

The morale of the Khitan army on the west bank was also severely hit. They dared not cross the river to the south and retreated northward in panic.

While the main force of the Jin army was divided to support Majiakou on the eastern front, Yelu Deguang seized the opportunity to attack Qicheng.

Shi Gongba, the vanguard commander of the Jin army's northern camp, was the first to encounter the Khitan cavalry and was quickly surrounded.

The vanguard of the northern camp army led by Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing went to rescue, but was subsequently surrounded by the Khitan army.

After receiving the request for help, the Imperial Envoy Jing Yanguang watched the three generals trapped in Qicheng.

The Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang once again saw the dawn of hope and thought he would definitely win this time.

Who would have thought that the changes would happen again.

Upon hearing the news, Jin Emperor Shi Chonggui personally led his personal guards to rescue the city. Together with Gao Xingzhou's troops who were defending Qicheng, they defeated the Khitan army and lifted the siege of Qicheng.

For a time, the Khitan army was in a dilemma.

First of all, the Khitan army could not cross the Yellow River, so it could not launch an effective and fatal blow to the Later Jin court.

Secondly, the Later Jin Dynasty was not only prepared for a comprehensive defense, but was even planning a counterattack. If the Khitan army retreated at this time, it would most likely be surrounded and suppressed.

Yuancheng.

Yelu Deguang looked at the soldiers below with a dark face and wanted to curse several times.

Finally, he took a deep breath, but still didn't curse out loud. He just waved his hand with a tired look on his face, "Zhao Yanshou stays, and the others get out."

The officers and soldiers did not dare to disobey the order and left the house one after another.

Zhao Yanshou stood up and approached, and asked respectfully: "Your Majesty, what is the important matter that has kept me here?"

Yelu Deguang smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't listen to the Imperial Master before, which led to his leaving in anger. Tell me, was I wrong?"

Zhao Yanshou did think that Yelu Deguang was wrong in this matter, but he dared not say it out loud.

He said carefully: "Your Majesty is right, and the Imperial Master is also right."

Yelu Deguang asked with a little curiosity: "Oh, what do you mean?"

Zhao Yanshou said, "The Imperial Master is a god. He may have figured out something, but it is inconvenient for him to tell us. Therefore, he hoped that Your Majesty would accept the surrender of the Later Jin Dynasty and strive for some benefits first. However, although Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, you are not familiar with ghosts and gods. How could you know what the Imperial Master meant? Our army had the upper hand at that time. If any other emperor came, whether it was Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, or Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin, I think they would make the same choice. Therefore, I said that the Imperial Master was right, and Your Majesty, you are naturally right too."

When Yelu Deguang heard Zhao Yanshou compare him to Emperor Gaozu of Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang, he immediately felt much better. "Alas, now that we have suffered a series of defeats, I regret not listening to the advice of the national teacher."

Zhao Yanshou said: "I think that although our army was defeated this time, we still have hope of winning the war."

Yelu Deguang's eyes lit up and he asked, "What's your brilliant plan? Please tell me."

Zhao Yanshou said: "The Jin army has set up barriers along the river, and they are all afraid to fight. If we lead a large army to Chanyuan and seize its bridge, Jin will surely be able to take it."

Yelu Deguang did not answer immediately, but thought carefully for a while.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhao Yanshou's proposal was feasible.

And he really wanted to prove that he could win the battle even without Chen Yun's help.

So Yelu Deguang immediately said, "Bring me the marching map so I can see it and then we can make a plan."

Zhao Yanshou immediately went to get the marching map.

The two men discussed for a long time in the house and finally decided that this plan was feasible. Then they summoned all the generals to discuss a decisive battle with the Later Jin Dynasty.

Yelu Deguang was holding back his anger and wanted to prove his own strength!
……

Qingcheng Mountain, Damen Peak. In the quiet room, although Chen Yun had an "omniscient perspective", his attention was not on the battlefield at the moment, so he naturally did not notice the situation.

Or, even if he noticed it, he wouldn't care about it because he has more important things to do.

At this time, more than ten days had passed since Chen Yun went into seclusion.

With the help of the spiritual enlightenment bestowed by the Queen Mother of the West, he has refined a lot of the negative impurities in his soul.

As the Yin dregs were refined, his soul shrank a lot.

From the initial length of two or three feet, it is now only two or three inches, which can be said to be much more "concentrated".

Although the primordial spirit is refined into a very small size, its concentration is the "essence".

Now Chen Yun’s soul is red, as if he has turned into a "fire man", and even a trace of white light appears in it.

Chen Yun sensed his own soul and thought to himself, "Now I have refined most of the Yin dregs in my soul. I just need to refine it completely, and then I can achieve Yin and Yang."

He estimated that in a dozen days or so, his soul would be able to achieve complete yin and pure yang.

Even so, it does not mean that he will be able to produce Yang Shen in a dozen days.

The main reason was that too much negative impurities had been refined from his primordial spirit, and the “amount” of energy contained in it had been reduced a lot, not reaching the standard of entering a trance at all.

After the yin of the primordial spirit is exhausted and the yang is pure, it is necessary to continue to strengthen the yang spirit.

Only when it has grown to a certain extent can it truly produce the Yang Spirit.

Chen Yun felt very relieved and continued to control his temper while practicing.

Time passes day by day.

On the second day, a lot of the evil impurities in the soul were refined.

On the third day, the degree of "whitening" of the soul reached about 10%.

On the fifth day, the degree of "whitening" of the soul reached about 15%.

The eighth day... the tenth day...

Time is spent in practice.

……

About thirty-five days later.

Chen Yun, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes and a white light flashed across his eyes.

He couldn't help but burst into laughter, "Haha, haha, I have finally refined away all the Yin dregs, making my soul completely Yin-free and Yang-free!"

Although this time was longer than the ten days he had initially expected, the joy of Yin Jin and Yang Chun made him overjoyed.

To be honest, in all of Chen Yun's practice, there has never been a breakthrough that made him feel as filled with joy as he does now.

After practicing to this stage, he is only one step away from becoming a Yang Spirit!
In short, he has actually cultivated the Yang God.

It’s just that the baby is still weak and cannot produce Yang Shen for the time being.

It was precisely because he knew that he had cultivated the Yang God that Chen Yun was so excited, even to the point of almost losing his composure.

Perhaps Chen Yun did not realize at all that he had reached the final stage of the test of becoming a Yang Shen.

If he can survive the test, his Yang Shen will live as long as heaven and earth.

But if you can't pass the test, even if you really produce the Yang God, you will eventually get lost in the illusionary magic world.

Perhaps it was too crazy, Chen Yun himself noticed it.

He quickly suppressed the intense joy in his heart and warned himself: "The Yang Spirit has not yet emerged, I can't be so complacent."

He tried his best to keep his mind calm and put away all distracting thoughts.

Although Chen Yun tried very hard to suppress the distracting thoughts in his mind, he still couldn't help but have wild thoughts. "There is a saying in the "Song of Breaking the Mystery and the Right Path": Only this fire and golden elixir, all depends on the connection with Huangting. The primordial qi of the mixed origin is a thousand-year-old medicine, which lasts for ten thousand calamities and never sleeps. Within three thousand minutes, it is like a baby. A hundred days of hard work will create a spirit. After ten months of refining, it will become a pure yang body, and naturally it will not be invaded by cold or heat. Auspicious clouds will gather around the jade body, and phoenixes and cranes will dance in front of it. The princesses will hold purple edicts, and their names will be recorded in the jade book to call the real person. The golden light covers the body and people can't see it. The restrained and majestic manners are on the left and right. The cranes will lead it to Chaoyuan, and it will ascend to the capital in broad daylight."

As long as I can produce the Yang Spirit, I can become a god and ascend to the capital in broad daylight!

Chen Yun became more and more excited, and seemed to be in a state of confusion.

In fact, it is normal for him to have such thoughts.

Because at the moment when Yin was exhausted and Yang was pure, his "humanity" began to be disturbed by "divinity", and the remaining "humanity" made him fall into a state of madness.

"No! I can't be so crazy!"

Chen Yun suppressed the distracting thoughts in his mind again and took a deep breath, "Otherwise I will really fall into the devil's realm and cannot extricate myself."

He knew it was not the time to rejoice.

Now he is only close to becoming a Yang God, but has not really reached the level of a god.

In order to prevent the ecstasy from affecting his subsequent practice, Chen Yun temporarily stopped practicing and sat there to constantly calm his mind.

An hour...

Three hours...

Soon, the day passed.

Finally, Chen Yun regained his composure.

He felt that everything could no longer affect him, so he nodded slightly with satisfaction, "This way, I can do the final step of strengthening my Yang God, in order to produce a Yang God."

Thinking of this, he entered into a state of meditation again, allowing himself to enter into the state of "voidness".

A little spiritual light protects the spiritual platform.

Chen Yun practiced the fifth level of "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secrets" and used the Dan Qi to continuously strengthen the Yang Spirit.

This will be a relatively long process.

He had previously speculated that it would take at least six months.

This was because he had a little spiritual help from the Queen Mother of the West. In fact, it would take a normal person six years.

This is what Chen Yun originally thought.

The surprising result was that not long after he entered the "void", he could hear heavenly music faintly in his ears.

Immediately afterwards, waves of strange fragrance filled the air and penetrated into his nose.

Chen Yun felt very confused at the time. How could he still "smell" something when he was in a "virtual" state?
Before he could remember to think about it, the whole sky was filled with light.

Chen Yun was stunned again. Wasn't he practicing in the quiet room? How could he suddenly see the sky?
He instinctively looked up at the sky, and saw auspicious aura covering the clouds, making the sky colorful. Cranes were flying and circling, as if the fairyland had descended upon the earth.

In an instant, the colorful clouds parted.

A Yujing Mountain emerged from it.

The palaces in the mountains are decorated with gold and jade.

This is the Seven Treasures Mountain in Yujing, with a circumference of ninety thousand miles, and is above the Daluo Heaven.

There is the Seven Treasures Palace on the city wall and the Seven Treasures Platform inside the palace. There are three palaces: upper, middle and lower. It is like a palace city with 240 gates on each side.

In the four directions there grew eight rows of precious forests, with green leaves, red fruits, and five-colored mushrooms. On them there were twelve thousand kinds of mushrooms, and in the swamp the lotus was ten feet in diameter.

There are 810,000 heavenly roads in Yujing, leading to 810,000 mountains and caves.

Chen Yun was looking at it in confusion, not understanding how long he had been "in the void", and he actually saw the White Jade Capital in the sky.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, the fragrance spread everywhere, and the sounds of dragons and tigers roared in the air.

After a while, purple clouds covered the forest. Suddenly, a real person appeared. He had square pupils, a round halo around his neck, and a face of unrivaled beauty. He rode a white unicorn chariot, with nine flags, a brocade banner embroidered with phoenix patterns on his waist, and a six-way crown on his head. He was about twenty years old, with attendants holding night-light torches and jade-feathered guards numbering a thousand. He called himself the Great True King of Xuandu. He asked, "Are you Chen Pu?"

Chen Yun bowed hastily in return and said, "I am Chen Pu."

Xuandu Taizhen King laughed loudly, "Congratulations to Master Chen for achieving the status of a god through the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to the Origin. Today I have come to help you ascend to heaven and enter my Palace of the Supreme Saint to be honored as a god."

Hearing this, Chen Yun asked with some uncertainty: "Have I achieved immortality through the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Returning to the Origin?"

Xuandu Taizhen Wang smiled and nodded, "That's right, Master Chen has completed his merits."

Hearing this, a surge of ecstasy arose in Chen Yun's heart. He couldn't hold back his emotions and couldn't help but burst into laughter, "It's done! I have succeeded in refining the Yang Spirit! Haha! Hahahahaha! It's done! The Three Flowers Gather at the Top of the Head, the Five Qis Return to the Origin! The Seven Treasures Mountain in Jade Capital of Daluo Heaven! I saw it! I saw it all! Xuandu Taizhen King! Come to take me to the Palace of the Supreme Saint! Hahahaha!"
