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

Chapter 823 Between the Wonderful Existence and the Wonderful Non-Existence

With his immense power, Chen Yun forced his "life" to merge into the trajectory of the Golden Elixir Avenue.

In an instant, his perception changed drastically.

Except for some areas, the entire universe was sensed.

From the movements of the sun, moon and stars to every living thing, whether sleeping or moving, in the mountains and rivers, all are brought into one's perception.

It seemed that at this moment, there were no more secrets in the whole world.

These are not the most important things.

The most important thing is that he saw all the "treasures" left by the Golden Elixir Avenue along this trajectory, and all the information contained in them was perceived by him.

At this moment, Chen Yun's understanding of Jindan practice increased dramatically and reached a transcendent level.

This transcendent state of mind was enough to enable him to surpass his mentor and Lu Dongbin in his understanding of golden elixir cultivation.

No matter whether it is Zhongli Quan or Lu Dongbin, they are all "grand masters" at the level of inner alchemy practice.

For example, Zhongli Quan is the founder of inner alchemy. After so many years of exploration and summary, he has already reached perfection in inner alchemy.

For example, Lu Dongbin, as one of the representative figures of inner alchemy practice, has an understanding of this area even greater than that of Zhongli Quan.

And now, I have just entered the half-step Daluo realm, and my understanding of inner elixir has surpassed theirs?
This is absolutely incredible!

The most important thing is that what Chen Yun has just gained is not only a greatly improved understanding of inner alchemy, but also the "external alchemy" aspect.

That’s right, the Golden Elixir Road includes two cultivation systems: external elixir and internal elixir.

Chen Yun's previous alchemy skills could only be described as average.

But at this moment, his understanding of external elixirs has surpassed that of the Medicine King Li Tieguai.

In a blink of an eye, he could come up with countless elixirs that could make people instantly immortal after taking them.

It is not impossible to refine the elixir that can reach the celestial realm in an instant, but the materials are more difficult to find.

The only pity is that even though his understanding of external elixirs has reached the grandmaster level, he is still unable to analyze the composition of all the prescriptions in "Daluo Lingtang".

Even the most basic "foundation-building decoction prescription" is incomprehensible.

It seems that every prescription in "Daluo Lingtang" is incompatible with the entire world, but after being boiled out, it has incredible magical medicinal power.

Chen Yun had a rough idea in mind. The composition of the prescription was secondary. Perhaps the real secret of the effectiveness of the spiritual soup came from that small copper stove.

These are gains in understanding.

In fact, he gained much more than just understanding.

When "nature and life" truly coincided with and ran parallel to the trajectory of the Great Dao, his power underwent a qualitative change, transforming from the original "immortal qi" into "innate ancestral qi".

This "innate ancestral qi" allows him to cast any spell, and even mobilize the power of all the laws he understands, no longer limited to yin and yang, gold, wood, water, fire and earth.

Chen Yun suddenly thought of Zhonglu Dandao, which ultimately involves refining the body into the yang spirit and transforming it into innate ancestral qi, thus seeking to "become one with the Tao."

Now he can say responsibly that even if he transforms into the innate ancestral qi, it is impossible to truly "become one with the Tao."

The reason for this is that human beings themselves are products of "acquired" nature. The innate ancestral qi that is refined is not "innate" in essence. It just exists above the laws, but is between the Tao and the laws.

If one uses the innate ancestral qi as a carrier, at best one can cultivate to the half-step Daluo realm.

And it is necessary to use extremely vast "energy" to break through to the Half-Step Daluo Realm.

If people want to truly become one with the Tao, it is simply impossible for them to do so, because they need the "one true Qi".

What is the "True Qi"?
This is the source and root of the great way.

This Qi is a wheel of chaos and vastness. Although it has no form or image, all things in the world that have form and image are born from this shapeless and formless energy. It is truly the principle of the great Dao, and the foundation of all things in the heaven and earth.

That is, if you want to truly be in harmony with Tao, you must obtain the "true Qi".

Unfortunately, this is the source of the Great Dao, the root of the Great Dao. Even the most powerful Half-Step Daluo finds it almost impossible to obtain it.

At this moment, Chen Yun finally understood why the Three Pure Ones, Three Realms and Three Treasures were the only Daluo among the heaven and earth.

Because the Three Pure Ones, Three Realms and Three Treasures are the Great Dao themselves, they are merely the personified manifestations of the Great Dao, and not something they have cultivated after birth.

People like the Jade Emperor, the Purple Star Emperor and Sakyamuni Buddha who have reached the level of Half-Step Daluo have never been able to attain Daluo because they have not received the recognition of the Great Dao and obtained the True Qi.

"I remember the Jade Emperor once said that if he returns to the throne of the Heavenly Emperor after the Conferred God Battle, someone will help him become a Daluo. I believe that person will give the Jade Emperor the true Qi of the origin of the Great Dao."

This made Chen Yun feel very confused. What kind of existence could easily obtain the origin of the Great Dao and help the Jade Emperor to attain enlightenment?

Even at this level, he still couldn't understand it.

However, he learned another thing about himself from the treasures left on the track of the avenue.

What I sensed for the first time was not just the Tao, but the origin of the Tao.

Under the great road, we are all ants.

Therefore, once he mobilizes the power of the origin of the Great Dao, he can kill all living beings whose realm is lower than his own.

In short, even if someone's realm is only slightly lower than yours, he is still an ant in your eyes.

It was precisely because of the "characteristics of the Great Dao" that he was able to kill hundreds of millions of Nine Nether Demons in a single thought.

"The Jade Emperor still needs others to give him the true Qi before he can achieve enlightenment, but I have already sensed the original power of a certain great way. As long as I can figure out how to achieve unity with the Tao, I can easily achieve enlightenment with the help of the original power of that great way."

Chen Yun kept thinking, "I may not use the power of the origin of the Great Dao to achieve Daluo, because I have a feeling that with the help of the 'Daluo Spiritual Soup' to achieve the Dao, my realm may be even higher."

The thought flashed through my mind.

He did not think much about whether he had the Daluo origin or not, but instead focused his attention on the changes in himself.

The most direct change is that if he had an indestructible body before and was still at the level of "form and spirit", now he has risen to a new level.

Even if someone has the ability to destroy an indestructible body, it is impossible for him to kill himself.

The reason for this is that Chen Yun’s “life” is truly in line with the trajectory of the great road.

Now there is only one way to kill him, and that is to use supreme power to shatter the trajectory of the avenue.

The supreme power shatters the trajectory of the avenue?

This is almost impossible to do.

In other words, it is almost impossible for anyone below the Daluo realm to do it.

Why do you say that?

It's a simple truth.

The running track of the avenue can support the running of the avenue, which means that the great power of the avenue can be sustained at all times.

How could someone who has not achieved Daluo possess such great power to shatter the trajectory?
Chen Yun's "life" had previously been pinned on the trajectory of the Great Dao, and it seemed that he could achieve a similar "immortality", but that method was actually unreliable. Once someone found his "life" and captured it, it could be easily wiped out.

It’s different now. His life has been completely integrated into the trajectory of the Great Dao, so it doesn’t matter if he is found by others.

Because I am the trajectory of the Avenue, and the trajectory of the Avenue is me, I am truly moving along with the trajectory of the Avenue, instead of trying to keep consistent with the "frequency" of the Avenue's trajectory as before.

This qualitative leap allows him to be almost immortal.

Unless the world returns to its original nothingness and the trajectory of the great road collapses, he will fall and disappear.

"In addition to my ability to survive being greatly increased, my strength has also become stronger."

Chen Yun slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand lightly, and pressed down towards the entrance of Jiuyou.

An invisible great force burst out from the darkness, enveloped it, and sealed Jiuyou in an instant.

As a result, the endless number of demons inside were suppressed once again and they were unable to break free like before.

When this great force burst out, it seemed to affect all the heavens and worlds.

Chen Yun could clearly understand that as long as he had any evil thoughts, the action of mobilizing great power just now would be enough to completely destroy the heavens and all worlds.

He recalled the first time Lei Zu and Mori Pu Tian fought.

At that time, the two rulers of heaven and earth did not fight in the mortal world, but escaped into the chaos.

Chen Yun broke through to the Half-Step Daluo realm, and only then did he realize how vast the power involved in the fight between the two was, and how easy it was to destroy the heavens and all the worlds.

For a normal celestial being to achieve this, the only way is to use the mighty power of the seven governments and eight spirits like Marshal Tianpeng.

"Half-step Daluo is too powerful."

Chen Yun couldn't help but exclaimed, "Now my strength is so strong that I can destroy the heavens and myriad worlds with just one move. It's incredible!"

He had a vague premonition that if he went into the chaos, he could even create the world.

However, these myriad worlds created at the beginning of the world have no "original power" to maintain them. If one withdraws the power, they will collapse in an instant.

Chen Yun finally understood why new situations of birth and death of the heavens and myriad worlds occurred when those half-step Daluo fought.

The only pity is that Half-Step Daluo has not mastered the "original power" of the Great Dao, and cannot truly open up new heavens and worlds like Yuanshi Tianzun's incarnation Pangu did.

After sighing a little, Chen Yun looked towards a certain place above, as if there was something mysterious there.

Those who have not achieved the Half-Step Daluo stage have no idea what he is looking at.

Only Chen Yun himself understood that he saw the "traces" of the Golden Elixir Avenue disappearing from its trajectory.

He can follow this "trace" to other tracks, and even hope to catch up to the Golden Elixir Avenue.

Although it is only a hope and it will be difficult to actually pursue, it is definitely a huge improvement.

After all, he could only passively stay on the trajectory of the Avenue before, and only when the Golden Elixir Avenue "visited" again would there be hope of coming into contact with it.

From passive to active, isn’t that a huge improvement?
Once I can pursue the path to the Golden Elixir, perhaps I can gain more true principles from it and increase my strength more quickly.

Those true principles cannot be compared with the treasures on the path of the great road.

If we must make a comparison, the treasures are like the crumbs, and the true truths are the bread itself.

That is just the tip of the iceberg of the great truth, which cannot be compared with the real truth at all.

Another point is that if one can pursue the Great Dao, one will be able to activate the power of the Golden Elixir Great Dao, rather than simulating the power of the Great Dao.

Although the simulated power of the Tao is very powerful, it is certainly not comparable to the real power of the Tao.

Chen Yun felt the changes in himself for a while and felt that he had almost understood them.

If I have to say what I don't understand, it's probably the increase in strength.

When one reaches the half-step Daluo stage, it seems that all previous ways of improving one's strength are no longer suitable.

Chen Yun sensed that he could continuously absorb the remaining power of the Avenue from its trajectory and thus strengthen himself, but that method was very slow.

He estimated that it would take tens of thousands of years for him to have a significant improvement in his strength.

"It seems that I still have to use the supreme method taught by Sakyamuni Buddha to quickly improve my strength."

Chen Yun sighed, put away all his thoughts, and looked at Wang E, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, the Golden-Eyed Hundred-Eyed Ghost and other disciples and gods.

Immediately, he took a step forward, as if he had directly crossed time and came in front of a group of disciples and gods.

No, not like, he actually traveled through time.

That is, from the entrance of Jiuyou to the presence of the disciple god, time actually did not pass at all.

This was obviously different from his previous ability to only cross space. In the eyes of Wang E, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, the Golden-Eyed Hundred-Eyed Ghost and others, he seemed to appear out of thin air, and his figure at the entrance of Jiuyou also seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Seeing this, Wang E was shocked and asked tentatively: "My lord, are you half a step into Daluo?"

Chen Yun smiled and said, "Yes, I have just entered the half-step Daluo realm."

"Ah?" The Nine-Headed Bull Demon King was shocked and said, "Just now we saw you manifest a wonderful appearance, and we were still wondering if you had achieved the Half-Step Daluo, but we couldn't be completely sure. It turns out to be true."

Chen Yun said slowly: "Wonderful Appearance is the means of Half-step Daluo. If one can manifest Wonderful Appearance, he is naturally Half-step Daluo."

The Golden Eyed Ghost was very curious and asked, "That wonderful appearance is like the law of heaven and earth. What is the use of it?"

Qin Ming, Qin Liang, Cui Ming and others all looked over with curiosity.

Chen Yun explained, "Miao Xiang is the manifestation of the 'Dharma Image' of the Law of Heaven and Earth. It contains endless power, which can subdue demons and defend the Way, and can also protect the heavens, myriad worlds and all living things. It cannot be broken without a Half-Step Daluo."

Having said this, he did not give anyone a chance to speak. "Alright, this matter is over. Let's go back to Qingcheng and return to the Fenglei Great Immortal Temple in Dengzhou."

As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if his words came true, and everyone present, including him, was carried through by an invisible force.

Just like before, "time" did not pass at all, but Chen Yun, Wang E, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, the Golden-Eyed Ghost and others returned to Qingcheng Mountain, while Qin Liang, Qin Ming, Cui Ming and others also returned to Dengzhou Fenglei Great Immortal Temple at the same time.

Wang E, the Nine-Headed Bull Demon King, the Golden-Eyed Hundred-Eyed Ghost and others who witnessed this scene were extremely shocked.

They personally experienced the "Half-Step Daluo-style time travel" and only then did they realize how hugely different Chen Yun was from before.

At the same time, I also knew that the Taoist in front of me, who was between the wonderful existence and the wonderful non-existence, had reached an incredibly high level.

It is a transcendent state that they may never be able to understand.

That is a state that is enough to astonish anyone who has not achieved the Half-Step Daluo realm!
