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

Chapter 658 Immortal Muscle
Time flies, years are like arrows.

More than half a year passed quietly, and it was the early summer of the second year.

The intoxicating fragrance of flowers fills the entire area around Qingcheng Mountain.

At this time, inside the Dameifeng Taoist temple, one or two hundred disciples and tens of thousands of divine soldiers and generals were all listening attentively to Chen Yun's preaching.

"…The universe is long and vast, and the saints are like it. The essence lies in the sun and the moon, and the advance and retreat are driven by water and fire. Therefore, the nature and life are cultivated together, and the inside and outside are one. The dragon and tiger cauldron are the eyes, mouth, body and mind." Chen Yun slowly explained: "The body is the furnace, the heart is the divine treasure, and the grotto is the Huachi. Only the heavenly lead is used. When there are things, inaction is the basis. From the spirit in the form to the nature in the spirit, this is called returning to the root and returning to life, just like gold returning to its original nature and being called returning to the elixir."

Having said that, he looked at his disciples who were deep in thought below, and then glanced at a small white snake in the bamboo forest not far away.

Chen Yun has been giving lectures frequently in the Taoist temple over the past six months, originally only for his disciples to hear.

Who would have thought that if I spoke so many times, some spiritual creatures would come and listen.

For example, this little white snake has heard seven or eight sermons.

Out of compassion, he did not expel these spiritual creatures.

Chen Yun retracted his gaze and said casually, "Today's sermon ends here. If you still have any questions, you can tell me in detail. I may have to go out in the next few days, so I won't be able to answer your questions later."

Zhang Qian was the first to raise his hand.

Chen Yun said: "Brother Zhang, please speak."

Zhang Qian stood up, bowed, and asked, "I don't understand one thing. What is the difference between the Yin God and the Yang God?"

Hearing this, Lin Chen, Qin Ming, Lin Lingsu and others all pricked up their ears.

Chen Yun thought about it seriously and replied, "My master once said that pure yin without yang is a ghost, a mixture of yin and yang is a yin god, and pure yang without yin is a yang god. After a mortal dies, the yin soul sheds the shell and becomes a ghost; those who practice cultivation and have not exhausted their yin and leave the body too early are called yin gods. When they leave the body, they may see white light like a river in their eyes, which means the spirit leaves the eyes; or hear the sound of bells, chimes, flutes and pipes in their ears, which means the spirit leaves the ears. Because their yang energy is not strong enough, they cannot break through the gate of heaven, so they take other paths and follow their convenience. After leaving the body, they are also free and happy, walking through the streets and alleys, and climbing mountains by the water. But they can take shape, but not split. They can only wander around the world, but cannot fly and change. If the sun is in the sky in midsummer, the yin gods will be afraid and avoid it. Therefore, although they have the style of immortals, they are not free from the interest of ghosts."

Zhang Qian asked again, "During this year, relying on the spiritual roots of heaven and earth bestowed by Senior Brother Chen, as well as preaching, Junior Brother Lin and I have already cultivated to the late stage of high-level magician. We are only one step away from the master realm, and have the qualifications to cultivate into ghost immortals. So, I want to ask, can Yin gods be cultivated into Yang gods?"

Lin Chen was also very concerned about this and looked at him without blinking.

Chen Yun said: "Those who cultivate immortality are not content with small achievements. They can continue to cultivate after the Yin God emerges, and smash the original form of the Yin God. When the Yin is exhausted and the Yang is pure, they can naturally become the Yang God."

Lin Chen couldn't help but ask: "Brother Chen, how do we shatter the original form of the Yin God?"

Chen Yun looked at the little white snake and the other spiritual beings who were "eavesdropping" on the sermon, and said with a smile, "This is a secret that cannot be passed on to outsiders. If Senior Brother Zhang and Senior Brother Chen want to know, please follow me back to the inner courtyard to discuss in detail."

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Zhang Qian and Lin Chen burst into tears of gratitude.

Chen Yun looked at Chen Lizhi, Zhao Kuangji, Lu Yuan, Mei Junyan and others, "Do you have any questions?"

Zhao Kuangji, Lu Yuan, Mei Junyan and others asked questions one by one.

Chen Yun carefully answered everyone's questions.

Finally, only Chen Lizhi was left. He raised his hand and said, "Master, Master, how can I achieve immortality?"

Chen Yun asked, "How long have you been my disciple?"

Chen Lizhi counted them carefully, "Two or three years."

Chen Yun looked at the monkey and said with a smile, "Ask me this question again in four years."

Chen Lizhi didn't understand why Chen Yun had to wait four years to tell him, but he respected his teacher very much, so he quickly said, "Disciple, I'll ask you again in four years. I'll ask you again in four years."

Chen Yun nodded, making sure that everyone was fine, then he stood up and walked towards the inner courtyard with Zhang Qian and Lin Chen.

The reason why he said that he would teach Chen Lizhi the art of longevity four years later was because he knew that this monkey was impatient and he was afraid that he would get into trouble after learning the inner alchemy technique, so he wanted to spend a few more years to polish the other party's character.

Otherwise, if Chen Lizhi obtained the inner alchemy technique, with the help of Chen Yun's essence and blood, he would be able to easily cultivate to the level of a high-level magician or even a leader, and if he caused trouble, it would be difficult to deal with.

As Chen Yun walked in, he said to Lin Chen, "Lin Lingsu is a talented child, but she has some problems with her character. You must discipline her diligently..."

Halfway through his words, he suddenly felt the urge to urinate and couldn't hold it back.

Chen Yun quickly stopped talking and went into the toilet in the inner courtyard.

Lin Chen and Zhang Qian were originally listening to Chen Yun talking, but when they saw him suddenly go to the toilet, they both looked at each other, not understanding what was going on.

At this moment, they heard Chen Yun's hissing sound coming from over there.

The two looked at each other again, and both felt a sense of terror.

Why?

Because Chen Yun had already reached the immortal realm, but now he had to go to the toilet? This meant that there was something wrong with his practice!

Zhang Qian, Lin Chen and Chen Yun had a decades-long friendship that was extremely deep, so they naturally became worried and looked towards the toilet involuntarily.

It’s better not to look at it.

When they saw it, they were all shocked.

Zhang Qian and Lin Chen saw that Chen Yun was actually "urinating blood", and it was purple!
This frightened the two men out of their wits, and made them even more certain that there was something seriously wrong with Chen Yun's practice.

After a while, Chen Yun came back after relieving himself.

He seemed unusually pleased with himself, "Haha, something good really happened today."

Zhang Qian was a little anxious and said, "Brother Chen, you are already like this, what good things are going to happen?"

Chen Yun didn't understand, "What do you mean I'm like this?"

Lin Chen also said anxiously: "You just urinated blood!"

Hearing this, Chen Yun burst out laughing and teased them, "I'm not as good as Long Yang. Go find someone else. Next time when I relieve myself, don't stare at me."

Zhang Qian and Lin Chen were at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and were about to explain that it was not like that.

Chen Yun showed a serious look and explained: "I was not peeing blood just now, but I have reached a certain level of cultivation and am 'eliminating the flesh'."

"Yin Xiaorou?" Zhang Qian didn't quite understand, "What is this?"

Lin Chen also seemed very confused.

Chen Yun said: "It's too troublesome to explain in detail, so I'll just say it briefly. If one day I no longer urinate purple blood, then I will be perfect in both form and spirit."

what?
Would you be in great shape and spirit if you didn't urinate blood?
Zhang Qian and Lin Chen knew that Chen Yun would not joke about such things, and they were both a little shocked for a moment.

They have practiced for decades, so naturally it is impossible for them not to understand what it means to have both a perfect body and a perfect spirit.

The perfect form and spirit meant that Chen Yun was about to cultivate to the realm of refining the void and merging with the Tao, which was basically a celestial being.

This made Zhang Qian and Lin Chen a little bit unbelievable. After all, Chen Yun just broke through to the divine fairyland last year. How could he possibly reach the celestial fairyland so soon?
Chen Yun saw the doubts of the two people, but did not explain further.

To be honest, this was the first time he urinated blood today.

He knew that this was because the "Yin Xiaorou" had taken effect, so he had the reaction of "feeling purple blood in urine and feces being replaced with air".

The theory of Chen Yun's sixth level of practice is that one can have this reaction after practicing for a year. In fact, it didn't take him a year, but he already had the reaction of "purple blood in urine and feces is often replaced with qi".

Theory is theory, and in reality it varies from person to person.

Chen Yun was not surprised at all by this, and even felt a little secretly happy.

Because of the "blood in urine" reaction, it means that he has thoroughly verified that there is no problem with the sixth level of the technique!
He thought to himself, "In this way, my mortal flesh has begun to fade away, and the immortal muscles will be born next. My body will become even stronger. Theoretically, in two years, my whole body will be immortal muscles, and I will be able to achieve the perfection of both body and spirit."

Chen Yun looked inward, wanting to know how his cultivation had improved since the "hematuria" reaction. To his disappointment, the strength of his Dan Qi had not increased significantly, and was still about the same as before the "hematuria".

It took him a year to completely stabilize his initial stage of the Immortal Realm, and he thought that the appearance of the "hematuria" reaction would lead to some breakthroughs.

Although the power of the Dan Qi did not increase, Chen Yun found that the strength of his physical body had increased significantly, about 10% stronger than before.

"I just developed immortal muscles, and my body is already so much stronger?"

Chen Yun couldn't help but feel moved. If the situation continued to develop in this way, in two years, he was afraid that his body would become incredibly strong, and ordinary magic weapons would not be able to break through it!

This made him feel very good.

Soon, the three of them arrived at the study.

Chen Yun invited Zhang Qian and Lin Chen to sit down. "Just now you asked how to shatter the Yin God and cultivate into the Yang God, right?"

Zhang Qian nodded quickly and said, "Yes."

Lin Chen's eyes were also burning.

Chen Yun said: "Master once said there are two methods."

Lin Chen asked: "Which two?"

Chen Yun said: "The first is to take the elixir of Taishang Laojun."

Zhang Qian and Lin Chen were disappointed.

How could they have such a great opportunity to take the elixir of Taishang Laojun?

Lin Chen asked somewhat unwillingly: "What about the second method?"

Chen Yun cast a spell to block the outside world from detecting him, and said with a serious expression, "What I am going to teach you next is the top secret of the inner alchemy technique. You must not tell anyone else about it. Senior Brother Lin, you cannot tell this secret to anyone, even Lin Lingsu."

Lin Chen nodded solemnly and said, "I will definitely not leak the secret, not even to Su'er."

Zhang Qian then assured: "This is a secret. Even if I die, I will never reveal it to anyone."

"Okay, then I'll tell you." Chen Yun said slowly: "The method to crush the Yin God is to forget the body and empty the mind. In the void, nothing can grow. Then you can change the mortal body into a spiritual body and turn an ordinary person into a real person."

Zhang Qian didn't quite understand, "What do you mean?"

Chen Yun said meaningfully: "It depends on your comprehension. If you can understand it, you will naturally be able to successfully transform into Yang Shen. If you can't understand it, there is nothing I can do."

There is no way to explain this kind of thing in detail. Only when you understand it yourself can you truly do it.

Otherwise, even if he told it to the sky, Zhang Qian and Lin Chen would not understand, and it might even have a counterproductive effect.

Therefore, Chen Yun only told the two of them how to crush the Yin God and cultivate the Yang God, without giving them too many hints or interferences.

Although Zhang Qian and Lin Chen did not understand the meaning of this sentence for the time being, they knew that what Chen Yun said must have profound meaning for someone of his level of cultivation.

They kept this method firmly in mind, then said goodbye to Chen Yun and left.

……

Night, midnight.

Although today is not a full moon night, Chen Yun is still practicing diligently.

During this year, his Dan Qi did not improve much.

If we have to talk about the "quantity", it may have only increased by about one percent.

Yes, the improvement is that small.

There is no way. The higher the level of cultivation, the harder it is to improve.

In addition, this 1% of Dan Qi "amount" may not be a big deal for Chen Yun, but if it is taken out separately, it is countless times more powerful than the immortal Qi cultivated throughout one's life at the peak of the Earthly Immortal Realm.

"Practice for a while, then have a good rest for the night, and head to Khitan tomorrow."

Chen Yun was ready to participate in the battle to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty.

This time he thought clearly that he must destroy the Later Jin Dynasty at all costs.

Clearing his mind of distracting thoughts, he began to practice.

The Dan Qi in the body continuously flows around the body along the exercise route.

After a while, a small cycle passed.

Chen Yun opened his eyes to rest, feeling somewhat puzzled, "Why do I feel that my practice today seems to be going extremely smoothly, and my Dan Qi has increased more than before?"

He knew this was definitely not an illusion, so he looked inward carefully.

Immediately, Chen Yun was slightly surprised and said, "I only practiced one small cycle of Qi, but my Dan Qi actually increased by 300%? According to this progress, after practicing three small cycles tonight, can the 'amount' of Dan Qi increase by 1%?"

This made him feel a little incredible.

After all, it took him more than half a year to increase the amount of Dan Qi by one percent.

Now that one can gain so much through practicing in just one night, how can one not have doubts?
At first, Chen Yun thought there was something wrong with his practice.

For example, this is a precursor to becoming possessed, so it seems that the "amount" of Dan Qi has increased.

He examined carefully for a long time, but still did not find any signs of possession.

In other words, the growth rate of Dan Qi is normal.

Chen Yun seemed to understand something. "Could it be that because I have 'reduced my flesh' today, part of my mortal flesh has been replaced with immortal flesh, so my cultivation speed has become much faster than before?"

In order to verify whether his idea was correct, he once again put aside all distracting thoughts and continued to practice the second small circulation.

After a while, the second small circulation was also completed.

Increase the "amount" of Dan Qi a little more than before.

During the practice, Chen Yun was always observing his body from within.

In the end, the result of his observation was that it was indeed because of the birth of the Immortal Muscle that his cultivation speed increased.

"So the birth of the Immortal Muscle is so helpful for the cultivation of the Inner Alchemy?"

Chen Yun felt very satisfied. Judging from today's situation, it was really possible for him to cultivate to the celestial fairyland in two years.

This made him feel very emotional.

Every time before I broke through to a new realm, I relied on the "Daluo Ling Tang" to improve quickly.

Although I failed to collect the herbs needed for the spiritual soup this time, I didn't expect that with the sixth-level technique I created by myself, I would be able to break through to a new realm in just two or three years.

Chen Yun knew that this was partly due to the magic of the sixth-turn technique, and the other part was due to long-term accumulation.

I spent more than half a year accumulating Yin Powder, and my cultivation progress was particularly slow.

Now that I finally see the results, my practice has become faster. Isn’t this just a gradual process of accumulation leading to a breakthrough?

"Finish the last small Zhoutian practice, then reconcile it well, go to Khitan tomorrow, and prepare to go south again to destroy the Later Jin!"

Chen Yun was immersed in cultivation, and his cultivation was constantly improving.

He believed that with the birth of immortal muscles, his physical strength would become even stronger. In the next Battle of the Gods, he would be able to shine and even compete with the immortals!
