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

Chapter 792: The Eighth Turn of "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secret"
When life started to "move" on the track of the avenue, Chen Yun was like a child who got a new toy. He kept exploring everything on the track to see if he could find some "treasures" from it.

The treasure he had just discovered had benefited him greatly.

Therefore, Chen Yun was very clear that exploring everything on the trajectory of the avenue was a very important matter.

This kind of exploration can not only make oneself more clear about how the Great Dao works, and then learn from it, but also imitate the Great Dao to generate great power and create powerful powers that are unimaginable for ordinary celestial beings.

“I don’t know if I can discover more treasures.”

Chen Yun kept a calm mind and did not require himself to immediately explore more treasures left by the avenue.

After all, one does not know how many tracks a road has run through, and it is impossible for it to leave behind endless treasures.

Generally speaking, only when some major event or important deeds involving this avenue occur will treasures be left behind on that avenue.

So it’s normal that it can’t be explored.

The best you can explore.

Don't be disappointed if you can't explore it.

This is Chen Yun’s truest thought deep in his heart.

His life continues to run on the trajectory of the avenue.

The speed of "movement" also gradually increased as I became more familiar with it.

This made Chen Yun feel that the great power bestowed upon him became even stronger.

Just when he was slightly happy.

Suddenly, Chen Yun felt as if his life had touched something.

Then a large amount of insights and great truths penetrated into the "will" like a brand.

The next moment, he had another feeling of enlightenment.

"Hmm?" Chen Yun showed a look of doubt. "The most correct way to practice inner alchemy is to make the body and soul merge into the void. Before, my body and soul merged into the reality, which caused some problems with my body and soul. When I practiced, my body would constantly produce inexplicable toxins. Later, after sensing the 'Equality Avenue', this situation was alleviated, but it was always a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. Similar situations will still occur in future practice. Now that I have touched the treasure left behind when the Golden Elixir Avenue was running, it tells me that the body and soul merge into the reality is actually the correct way?"

After he sensed this great treasure, he knew exactly what to do to get rid of the fire poison once and for all.

He also learned that once the fire poison was eliminated, his cultivation would enter a period of extremely rapid growth.

This was something he should have been able to enjoy after his body and soul were united in reality, but it was blocked by the fire poison, so this "explosive" growth was temporarily suppressed.

In addition, Chen Yun learned from this that his alchemy practice had actually reached the "highest level".

After your cultivation has grown explosively, the only way to further increase your cultivation and realm is to become one with the Tao.

In other words, after completing the seventh turn, he should have entered the realm of Half-Step Daluo, and then quietly comprehended the Great Dao and became one with the Dao.

However, the completion of the seventh transformation will naturally give rise to fire poison, which will limit the growth of one's own cultivation.

This is just like the rules of heaven and earth, where there is poison there must be an antidote, which gives you the opportunity to quickly improve your cultivation and realm, but also creates obstacles.

There are gains and losses.

If you want to truly get it, you must stand the test.

Once you can pass this test, then you can truly gain something, instead of just “sitting back and enjoying the fruits of your labor”.

"I see."

Chen Yun's understanding of the Golden Elixir Dao became increasingly profound.

At this moment, he vaguely understood the profound principles of the Golden Elixir and knew why the inner elixir was called the Golden Elixir.

The nature of gold is immortal, and the ultimate meaning of inner alchemy practice is immortality, so it is called "golden elixir".

If you want immortality, you must return to your true self!
"I think I know how to pass this test."

Chen Yun had some idea in his mind.

……

real world.

Now Chen Yun's life is integrated with his body and spirit. His life will not stop "moving" just because he controls his body and spirit.

This means that no matter what he does in the real world, it will not hinder his life from pursuing the Great Dao along the trajectory of the Great Dao.

He stretched out his hand and conjured up writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone.

"The treasures left behind by the Golden Elixir Avenue just now have made me understand how to create the eighth level of Mr. Chen's Inner Elixir Art."

Chen Yun thought secretly, "True fire needs to be refined by true water. As the saying goes, when yin and yang are in harmony, all poisons will not arise. The same is true for my heat poison."

He slowly wrote down the eighth level of the Chen Xiansheng Neidan Jue, which was as follows:

When the internal alchemy is practiced to the eighth level, a stable internal connection is formed, which connects the two holes under the tongue, passes through the mouth, and connects to the navel. This is called the "zone", which is like the umbilical cord of a baby. If the internal alchemy fire is generated and the five internal organs are hot, close your eyes and sit in meditation. After holding your breath, think of holding the "zone" in your mouth, and breathe in. The true water in the dantian gradually increases. On the ninth day, the true water grows to the throat, and you will feel that the inner dan is immersed in this water. In the middle of the night, sit in meditation and hold your breath, and inhale this water into the nine organs, go down along the governor vessel, pass the jiaji, and return to the dantian.

Efficacy: After the treatment, the internal fire returns to its original state and there will never be any trouble from heat toxins again.

Chen Yun was inspired to write another poem that contained the mystery of the eighth turn:

The eight turns return to the original zone, and the fetus circulates to nourish the baby.

Sometimes the fire burns the Dan cave, and goes deep into the cold spring to get the red turtle.

The general meaning of this poem is: When a baby is in the mother's womb, the air in the womb is fixed and cannot come out. The divine water enters very pure and without any damage. If there is an umbilical cord in the baby's navel, it is held in the mouth, and the air of breathing is constantly flowing. This is natural fetal breathing. Therefore, there is no damage. After the elixir is made eight times, it is replaced by another one in the navel. The umbilical cord is also like a baby, returning to its original way, so it is said that the earth and land are hanging down. The baby gets the umbilical cord to carry the fetal breath, so there is no damage. The real person gets the earth to carry the qi of the whole body, so he can live forever. It is the red turtle elixir bead. After eight times, the true fire is refined internally to prevent the risk of heat and poison. Whenever the fire is ignited, the earth and land are held in the mouth and breath is held. From the 9th day to the 9th day, the true water rises from the elixir field like a spring, reaching the 12th ring of the heavy tower. The elixir bead is in the divine water, like a turtle playing in the water. From then on, the true fire is non-toxic, and there is no risk of elixir heat. Therefore, it is said that sometimes the fire burns the elixir cave, and it goes deep into the cold spring to play with the red turtle.

"This is the way to completely resolve the fire poison."

Chen Yun was very satisfied with this, and then, according to previous practice, he wrote a poem "Wang Jiangnan" to pretend to be this practice.

Wang Jiangnan:
After internal and external changes, eight turns will begin to return to the original state. The long land and earth hang down to control the Kan door. The fetal breath circulates through the sky gate, and the Tai Shi Dao will then exist.

Pure oneness, red and black gas is often gushing out, when the elixir fire is ignited, it burns the inner scene, where the cold spring gushes out, the monkeys and grandchildren bathe, and where the magic water is swallowed by the red turtle.

After Chen Yun finished writing the technique, he put it away.

He was ready to resolve the fire poison issue once and for all.

……

Quiet room.

Chen Yun sensed the situation outside.

I learned that it was late at night and everyone was asleep.

The starlight shines on the snow, creating an exceptionally beautiful night scene.

The so-called beautiful scenery probably refers to this scene now. He did not pay too much attention to it, but returned his attention to the eighth level of the "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Technique" that he had just created.

Today, I created the eighth level of martial arts very quickly. The main reason was that I obtained the treasure left by the operation of the Golden Elixir Avenue.

Otherwise, if you just rely on your own thinking, or use the power of the "deduction" law, you may not be able to understand it even in a thousand or ten thousand years.

This is not because I don't have enough understanding, nor is it that the power of the "deduction law" is useless, but that I have already comprehended all the parts of the inner elixir that can be comprehended by the end of the seventh turn.

To be precise, this eighth turn has nothing to do with cultivation. It is simply a matter of completing the test.

The Golden Elixir Avenue will give everyone who practices inner elixir a test, or several tests.

For example, the Great Heavenly Immortal Technique practiced by Sun Wukong in Journey to the West is actually the inner alchemy technique in essence, which can be fully proved by the poems verses by Bodhi Patriarch when he preached.

Patriarch Bodhi said at the time: "The secret of the perfect communication of exoteric and esoteric teachings is really wonderful, but unfortunately there is no one to explain it when cultivating one's nature and life. It is all about the essence, energy and spirit, so keep it firmly and don't let it leak out. Don't let it leak out, keep it in your body, and you will prosper as I teach you. It is very helpful to remember the secret, so that you can get rid of evil desires and feel cool. When you feel cool, the light is bright, and you can enjoy the bright moon on the altar. The moon hides the jade rabbit and the sun hides the crow, and there are turtles and snakes intertwined. Intertwined, the nature and life are strong, and you can plant golden lotus in the fire. Gather the five elements and use them in reverse, and when you are done, you will become a Buddha or immortal."

No matter whether it is the essence, energy and spirit, the moon hiding the jade rabbit and the sun hiding the crow, or the entanglement of the tortoise and the snake, they are actually talking about the method of inner alchemy practice.

As for why Bodhi Patriarch, who Wu Cheng'en pointed out was the Buddha, knew Taoist inner alchemy, it was actually pointed out in the 98th chapter of Journey to the West.

When the Tathagata Buddha was imparting the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures, he said: "The merits of this sutra are immeasurable. Although it is a mirror for our sect, it is actually the source of the three religions..."

Well, Wu Cheng'en was actually praising Buddhism.

In any case, Sun Wukong practiced inner alchemy, so Patriarch Bodhi told him that there would be three disasters in the future. If he could avoid them, he would live as long as the sky, but if he couldn't, he would be reduced to ashes.

Chen Yun practices authentic inner alchemy, so normally there would be no such disasters.

At most, you will encounter some normal tribulations in your own practice, such as love tribulations and the like.

These disasters are actually not important. As long as your faith in the Tao is strong enough, you can basically get through them.

However, this calamity of fire poison is a test set by the Golden Elixir Avenue for seekers before they enter the stage of proving the Tao. It is not something that can be overcome simply by having a strong heart of Tao. Instead, one must possess sufficient wisdom and comprehend the method to break it, and then one can survive this calamity.

Although Chen Yun did not have such great wisdom, he had "great luck" and discovered how to survive the disaster of fire poison along the path of the Golden Elixir Avenue.

This method is not suitable for others, because no one in the Heavenly Immortal Realm has pinned his life on the trajectory of the Great Dao like him. It is impossible for him to obtain the treasures of the Great Dao, and naturally he cannot understand the method to crack it.

“As long as I pass this test, my cultivation will reach the level of Half-Step Daluo in just two or three years, and I will truly enter the stage of attaining the Dao. Of course, this is only the stage of attaining the Dao. No one knows whether I can attain Daluo. In other words, most Half-Step Daluo may never be able to truly attain Daluo in their entire lives.”

Chen Yun pondered silently for a moment, then he cleared all distracting thoughts and began to practice the eighth level of "Mr. Chen's Inner Alchemy Secret" which he created by obtaining treasures from the trajectory of the Great Dao.

"When the elixir reaches the eighth transformation, the external form and the internal organs are completely transformed. The resurrection zone is like that of a child, so it is called returning to the original state."

Chen Yun's mind was filled with the method of cultivation. "The land is the belt under the navel. It is born in the navel and belongs to the Kan Gua in the north. Therefore, it is said that Kan is the gate of heaven, Huachi is the orifice of the land, and the belt runs through the mouth."

These are the information you must know to practice the Eighth Turn of Mysterious Art.

"Next, I will practice the Zhou Tian Breathing to adjust the temperature."

Chen Yun used his profound skills to mobilize the heat, causing the fire in his body to explode, just like a fever.

At this moment, he felt heat and dryness in his five internal organs.

Chen Yun sat with his eyes closed, connecting the earth zone to the Huachi, allowing his breath to flow freely inside his body and be circulated everywhere.

When the mysterious skill began to work, he noticed that the true water in his dantian was increasing day by day. Whenever a fire poison was born, it would be extinguished immediately after touching the true water, making the fire poison disappear without a trace.

This process is relatively slow, and the real water level has not risen much after an hour.

Chen Yun knew that this process would take nine days to complete, so he was not in a hurry at all.

As he continued to practice his profound skills, black and red Qi gushed out of his nose.

This is a phenomenon that will naturally occur when the elixir has reached eight stages of transformation, and it is called: the constant gushing of Qi.

The black and red Qi are not ordinary air currents, but air currents representing the Yin and Yang Qi.

In other words, after practicing to this level, Chen Yun's whole body has become extremely close to heaven and earth. Not only does he have the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head and the Five Qis Converging to the Origin, he can even give birth to the Yin and Yang Qi. It can be said that all things in the universe are born from myself.

Time keeps passing during practice.

one day……

Three days...

Five days…

Gradually, Chen Yun had been practicing for more than eight days and was about to reach perfection.

At this moment, he sensed that the divine water in his body was about to reach the twelfth ring of Chonglou.

Once this step can be achieved, the poison of Danhuo will be completely eliminated.

Even though good things were about to happen, he remained neither sad nor happy, and just practiced his profound skills with a clear mind.

An hour...

Three hours...

Six hours later, Chen Yun only felt the divine water gurgling in his body. It turned out that it had risen to the twelfth ring of the Chonglou, and the elixir bead was completely hidden in the divine water.

The fire poison was gone, and Chen Yun only felt a sense of refreshment, and then his entire innate divine body was undergoing drastic changes. Powerful forces automatically emerged from his body, just like a spark that had been ignited and automatically began to spread across the prairie.

"The fire poison has been eliminated. I need to finish my practice now. Only then can I complete the eighth transformation."

Chen Yun did not stop the practice immediately, but waited until midnight. Then he closed his eyes and began to absorb the divine water, which went from the Niwan Palace through the Jiaji and into the Dantian.

At this moment, he had completed the exercise.

Chen Yun slowly exhaled and opened his eyes.

The moment he opened his eyes, the entire world seemed to be illuminated by a flash of lightning.

Mortals are definitely unable to see this kind of scene. Only immortals who have reached a certain level of cultivation can sense it.

Chen Yun didn't care whether the gods in the heavens could sense it or not. At this moment, he only felt that when the fire poison disappeared, the cultivation in his body was increasing day by day, just like when he had just become an immortal!

"Oh, so if one wants to enter the Half-Step Daluo realm in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, it is useless to just rely on oneself to continuously improve one's cultivation and realm. Only by withstanding the test of the Great Dao, will one be favored by the Great Dao and improve one's strength day by day."

Chen Yun couldn't help but sigh secretly. According to the current rate of growth in strength, he would be able to become a true Half-Step Daluo in two to three years at most.

Even though he is not yet a true Half-Step Daluo, the strength he can display now is unmatched by anyone in the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

“Although these powerful strengths did not come from myself, I do possess a fighting power second only to that of a true Half-Step Daluo. Now, in this world, except for the sacred beings above Half-Step Daluo, there is no one who can rival me.”

Chen Yun suddenly had a feeling of "master's loneliness", as if he was so lonely.

When this feeling of loneliness arose, he also knew that what he should really pursue was not the ultimate combat effectiveness, nor personal victory or defeat, but how to be in harmony with the Tao.
