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

Chapter 732: Mori Putian appears again

There was still light snow outside the living room, and gusts of cold air were blowing in my face.

In the room, the tea had been on the table for a while and it had lost all its heat.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Ge Hong who was standing there, wanting to hear what this great master of alchemy and medicine had to say.

Ge Hong lifted his sleeves and said slowly, "As far as I know, the inner elixir eventually merges the body and spirit into the void and transforms into the original ancestral qi. This is the refining of the void and merging with the Tao. The body and spirit are both perfect and merged with the Tao that permeates all things and is omnipresent. At this point, there is no so-called form, but it is integrated into the Tao, so it will not be burdened by the inner fire."

Well, actually, at this stage you are just entrusting your life to the laws, and it is very difficult to integrate into the great way.

The reason why Ge Hong said this was entirely to praise the art of inner alchemy.

He paused for a moment and continued, "Master Chen, your life may be at stake now, because the body and spirit are in harmony with reality. Although the body and spirit are both wonderful, they are still tangible and are burdened by the internal fire. If you want to solve this problem, I think you have two ways to choose."

Chen Yun pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

Ge Hong said: "The first method is to use the heaven and earth as a furnace, gradually transform oneself into the 'original ancestral qi', and return to nature. In this way, both the body and the spirit are perfect, but they will not be burdened by the body, and the problem can be solved naturally."

Lü Dongbin couldn't help but ask, "Master Ge, do you want me to go through the path of 'Lianxu Hedao' again?"

Ge Hong nodded and said, "Yes, this is the most direct and effective method, although it is difficult."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yun's instinctive reaction was to refuse. He had finally practiced "Pangu's True Body Art" to the seventh level of success, and manifested Pangu's true body with a dragon head and a snake body. If he were to return to the state of refining the void and combining the Tao, he would have to give up too much.

In addition, he got a vague inspiration from what Ge Hong said just now. Isn't Xie Ziran just a "human-shaped golden pill"? If he switches to practicing "Flying Spirit Jade Talisman", it seems that he can solve the problem directly.

However, there is a very serious factor in switching to practicing "Flying Spirit Jade Talisman", and that is that one has to give up the inner alchemy technique.

After thinking it over, Chen Yun still didn't decide to do so.

The foundation of my own practice is inner alchemy.

The second most important one is "Pangu's True Body Secret".

He can't let go of either of these two aspects.

Chen Yun asked, "What about the second method?"

Ge Xuan and True Man Huolong both looked towards Ge Hong.

Lu Dongbin also looked serious.

Ge Hong pondered for a moment and said, "The second method is much more difficult than the first method. It is not worth it unless you have great perseverance."

Chen Yun said: "Please enlighten me, Master Ge."

Ge Hong said: "The second method can be summed up in four words: return to the origin."

Return to origin?

Most people may really not understand this sentence.

With such high levels of cultivation, how could everyone present not understand?
Chen Yun understood what Ge Hong meant. It was nothing more than to regard himself as a baby and the heaven and earth as the mother, so as to establish an endless connection.

In this way, I am the heaven and the earth, and the heaven and the earth are me, eternal and indestructible.

Lü Dongbin smiled bitterly and said, "Master Ge, it is really too difficult for you to return to your origin."

Zheng Yin agreed and said, "Yes, if one can achieve this, I dare not say that he has achieved Daluo, but at least he has stepped into the threshold of Daluo, which means he is half a step into Daluo, and he is still the best among them."

Ge Hong said helplessly: "I can only think of these two methods. If you have a better method, you can tell Master Chen."

If Ge Xuan, Zheng Yin and Lu Dongbin had any good ideas, there would be no need to invite Ge Hong, as they naturally could not offer any opinions.

Lu Dongbin looked at Chen Yun and said, "Junior brother, you figure out how to act on your own."

Chen Yun nodded slightly, "Okay, let me calm down and think carefully."

Ge Hong reminded him, "Master Chen, before you resolve the Danhuo poison in your body, it's best not to use your divine power anymore, otherwise the signs of poisoning will get worse step by step. If the poison is too severe... I'm afraid no one can save you."

Chen Yun blinked and said, "As long as I try not to use magic, it won't be a big deal?"

Ge Hong said: "That's about it. Anyway, you should use less of your own immortal energy if possible, and you should also be more careful when practicing on a daily basis."

Chen Yun said: "Okay, I understand, I will pay attention to it."

After discussing the main issues, he entertained Ge Xuan, Zheng Yin and Ge Hong.

During this period, Master Xu heard that Ge Xuan had arrived, so he brought Wang Zaixi to pay him a visit.

……

On the other side, Luancheng.

A divine being wearing a star crown, red shoes, a purple cloud cape, holding a jade tablet, dangling a seven-star sword, and wearing a white jade ring and pendant stood in the room, looked around, and shook his head slightly.

This deity is dressed very similarly to the Nine Star Gods.

That’s right, he is none other than Tianyi Ziqi Daoyao Star Lord, one of the Eleven Star Lords, also known as Ziqi Star Lord for short.

Ziqi Star Lord, the tenth star god who always appears in myths and legends with an unfathomable image, has never been fully revealed.

Although there are only a few records of him in ancient books, every entry is full of awe and solemnity.

In ancient documents and people's beliefs, the auspicious signs predicted by the Purple Qi Star Lord are often cherished by kings and sages and are attached with various meanings.

This kind of reverence and cherishment has further deepened the mysterious color of Ziqi Star Lord in people's hearts.

In the classic record of Yuyin Ritual, Ziqi Star Lord was given a fascinating duty: "The purple air from the sky increases longevity."

However, what is different is that, as an invisible energy between heaven and earth, Ziqi Star Lord always keeps a low profile, has no specific image, and does not publicize his existence.

This feature is recorded in detail in the "Tai Shang Thirty-Six Sutras".

The Purple Qi Star Lord is extremely mysterious. Although his status is not as high as that of the Sun Emperor, his cultivation is the most powerful among the Eleven Star Lords.

Next to Ziqi Star Lord, there stood a three-eyed deity wearing a black robe and red shoes, a jade crown, holding a golden axe in his hand, and a sword at his waist.

This deity is none other than Taiyi Yuebei, the last of the eleven star gods.

The Moon God is known in Taoism as Taiyi Moon God Zhu Tianjun, Taiyi Jade Mysterious Marshal Huayin Liuguang Zhu Tianjun, Taiyi Moon God Chongyuan Fushi, and Jiutian Feigang Catching Evils with Thunder and Lightning Taiyi Moon God of Thunder.

It has an important position and role in Taoism. It not only symbolizes strength and majesty, but also represents the control over murder and the confrontation with negative emotions.

This divine being also has a cultivation level that is no less than that of the Sun Emperor.

When these two Hidden Star Lords appeared here, it not only meant that the Later Jin army had gained two more divine helpers in the late Heavenly Immortal Realm, but more importantly, it represented the gathering of the eleven Star Lords. Once they joined forces, they would unleash terrifying divine power.

Ziqi Xingjun frowned and said, "Even before Lu Dongbin made a move, you guys were already unable to resist. If Lu Dongbin really made a move, wouldn't you have been defeated by now?"

The Emperor of the Sun, the Emperor of the Moon, the Emperor of the Jidu Dao and others were all silent.

Fire Star Lord, Taibai Jinxing, Water Star Lord and others did not say anything. Fire Star Lord was beaten to pieces by Chen Yun, and it would take several years for him to recover, but Emperor Ziwei knew that this was the time to use people, so he used the supreme method to restore Fire Star Lord in advance, so he appeared here.

Moon Star Lord said: "Chen Pu has transformed into Pangu's true body, and Tieguai Li has the help of the Glazed Lamp. It is natural that Taiyin Yuanjun, Luohou Zhenjun and others were defeated. We should not blame them. Besides, the Emperor of Heaven sent more than just us to participate in the battle this time. The Khitan army will not have any chance to move south again."

Ziqi Xingjun naturally understood this truth, but he still couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "I think Chen Pu, Tieguai Li and the like are just so-so."

This time, Taiyin Yuanjun couldn't help himself and retorted: "If you think Medicine King Li Zhenren is just so-so, you can try his 'One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones'!"

"Am I afraid of him?" Ziqi Xingjun said rather arrogantly, "Don't bother your Majesty to say more. Next time we meet on the battlefield, I will naturally fight with Tieguai Li!"

Taiyin Yuanjun wanted to say something else.

The Sun Emperor stopped him and said, "Come on, colleagues, be more friendly. By the way, when will the Clairvoyant and the Wind-ear arrive? Without their help, Chen Pu can predict the enemy's advance, and we will fall into a disadvantage without knowing it."

Moon Star Lord said: "Clairvoyance and Superb Ear will come with the Four Saints of the North Pole. They may be here soon."

Jidu Daojun seemed very excited and said, "With the participation of the Four Saints of the North Pole, I believe the Khitan army will not be able to make any waves anymore."

"Yes."

"The Four Saints of the North Pole are skilled in battle and are invincible."

"With these four people here, we can rest assured."

Lord Luohou, Lord Taibai Jinxing, Lord Mude and others all nodded.

The Four Saints of the North Pole have a very high status in the Taoist mythology system and are important guardian gods.

What is the guardian general?

He is the top general who subdues demons and defends the way.

If we must use a crude metaphor, the guardian deity is the "double-flowered red stick".

The Four Saints of the North Pole are the most powerful and capable of fighting among the guardian gods.

Now that the Four Saints of the North Pole have all appeared, the Eleven Star Gods naturally feel that they can rest assured in this battle.

The Four Saints of the North Pole are Marshal Tianpeng, Deputy Marshal Tianyou, Yishen Baode and Lingying Yousheng.

Marshal Tianpeng is the leader of the Four Saints of the North Pole. He has great cultivation and can even manifest two Taoist bodies. He is truly unrivaled.

The most important thing is that Marshal Tianpeng also has a title called "Ancestor of All Gods", so you can imagine how high his status is.

Tianyou Deputy Marshal Zhenjun ranks second among the Four Saints of the North Pole. The "Tai Shang Jiu Tian Yan Xiang Tiao E Four Saints Wonderful Scripture" says that he is located "to the right of Tongming Palace in Miaoyou Heaven, leading the second commander of Tiangang and ranking among the princes of the lower earth."

Yisheng Zhenjun ranks third among the Four Saints of the North Pole. There are relatively few records about his deeds, but since he can be ranked before the later Zhenwu Emperor, he must have great supernatural powers and boundless magic.

That’s right, the fourth of the Four Saints of the North Pole, Lingying Yousheng Zhenjun, was the later famous Zhenwu Emperor.

I believe everyone knows the name of Zhenwu Emperor.

He also called him the Patriarch of Exorcism, the Emperor of Xuantian, the Emperor of Xuanwu, the Patriarch of Wuliang, etc.

Even in some myths and legends, Zhenwu Emperor is regarded as the 82nd incarnation of Taishang Laojun.

Just imagine, even the Zhenwu Emperor, the 82nd incarnation of Laojun, can only be ranked last among the Four Saints of the North Pole. You can imagine how powerful the top three are.

Of course, Emperor Zhenwu is a later title, and now he is just "True Lord of the Black Tortoise Spiritual Response".

No matter what, once the Four Saints of the Arctic join the battle, it will not be easy for Chen Yun's sacred "quality" to contend with them.

The Sun Emperor said, "In addition to the Four Saints of the North Pole, the Seven Elements of the Northern Dipper, the Left Assistant and Right Assistant, the Three Star Gods, the Six Officials of the Southern Dipper, the Three True Ones of the Central Dipper, the two messengers of Qingyang and Tuoluo, the Twelve Star Gods of the Yuanchen, the Sixty Star Gods of the Jiazi, the Thirty-Six Celestial Beings in the Dipper, the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, and all the stars in the sky and the Milky Way will participate in this battle. We will definitely not be defeated again."

Taiyin Yuanjun said: "That's right, we will definitely win this battle!"

At this moment, a fairy came to report outside the door.

The immortal said, "There is a great god outside the door who wants to see you."

The Sun Emperor was startled, "The Great God wants to see you?"

Ziqi Star Lord, Taiyin Yuan Lord, Yuebei Star Lord and others looked at each other in bewilderment.

Even with their level of cultivation, they still couldn't sense who was outside the door.

This made them wonder, which god with great magical powers had come?

The immortal said, "Yes, the great god claims to be the Buddhist Bodhisattva Maripada."

what?
Maripura Bodhisattva?

When Emperor Taiyang, Emperor Taiyin, Emperor Ziqi and others heard the name, they were all shocked.

Although Maripada is a Bodhisattva, who doesn't know her great reputation in the heavens and all realms?
He is one of the rare top gods in Buddhism who is at the half-step Daluo realm!
The Sun Emperor did not dare to neglect him and said, "Everyone, the Bodhisattva Maripada has come in person, and we should go out to greet him."

"Correct."

"Let's go greet her."

Ziqi Star Lord, Yuebei Star Lord, Jidu Dao Lord and others adjusted their clothes and walked quickly towards the door.

After a while, the Eleven Star Gods came to the door, and a sacred figure appeared surrounded by golden light.

This sacred body is golden in color, in the form of a girl, wearing a blue celestial robe, holding a lotus in her hand, with a pagoda on her head, sitting on a golden pig. The upper body is wearing white clothes and a pagoda on her head, holding a branch of the Asoka tree in her left hand, and surrounded by a group of pigs.

With just one look, everyone knew immediately that the person coming was the Bodhisattva Mariputra.

"I have seen the Bodhisattva."

"Buddha, I am here to show my respect."

"You don't need to be so polite. I feel ashamed to accept it."

The Emperor of the Sun, the Emperor of the Moon, the Emperor of Purple Qi and others paid their respects.

The Bodhisattva Mariputra was not as aggressive as he was when he first met Chen Yun. He was very humble towards the Eleven Star Gods.

After the two sides got to know each other, Emperor Taiyang, Emperor Taiyin and others welcomed him into the guest hall of the mansion.

Everyone sat down, and the Sun Emperor turned his head to look at the seat above and asked, "I wonder what important matter has the Bodhisattva come here for?"

Taiyin Yuanjun, Ziqi Xingjun, Yuebei Xingjun and others were all very interested and looked over without blinking.

Bodhisattva Moli Pushian smiled and said, "I was invited by the Purple Star Emperor to come here to help the Star Lords defeat Chen Pu and his ilk."

what?
Are you here to help too?
The Sun Emperor, the Moon Emperor, the Purple Qi Emperor and others never imagined that the Purple Star Emperor would actually invite the Bodhisattva Mari Pushian, which made them very excited.

With the help of this Half-Step Daluo, they felt that they were completely stable!
