Taoist Master Xuanhuang

"I have come to visit fellow Daoist Xuanhuang on the orders of the Ninth Venerable. Your Daoist temple is extraordinary and looks like a holy place on earth. Although we are from the realm, the Daoist connotation and spiritual meaning of your Daoist temple are no less than those of the realm. It is truly admirable..."

"I met you once before, but I didn't communicate with you because I was afraid of being contaminated by karma..."

"Now that the node has arrived, the integration of all realms has entered a new era. The creatures in my realm are also the creatures of the Holy Land, and they have a great relationship with the human world. We need to move around and connect..."

"You and I live next to each other, and we will definitely deepen our exchanges in the future..."

When the three corpse retrievers came to pay homage to the mountain.

This was the first official appearance of the creatures in the realm, which not only alarmed the cultivators of Qingyun Mountain, but also surprised Xuanhuang.

However, upon hearing that it was an 'old friend', Xuan Huang relaxed his guard.

To be honest, when Xuan Huang heard that the creatures from the realm were coming to visit, he was on guard, thinking that they were coming to establish their authority, or even to provoke him.

After all, he had just slapped the pagan world in the face, and Xuan Huang was afraid that they would suffer the same fate.

It’s not that they have a good relationship, but it’s a slap in the face of the realm. Even if the two realms have a grudge against each other, they will share the same hatred when facing other enemies.

Fortunately, nothing happened as Xuan Huang expected.

In fact, the three corpse-retrievers don’t know yet.

However, it doesn't matter if they know it, because they can't stand the pagan world.

Some of them may not consider themselves human anymore.

But I firmly believe that I am still the God of China, and I cannot say that casually.

If you say that they are no longer human, they will agree or think about it, but if you say that they are not the gods of the Xia Kingdom or the gods of the East.

They will get angry and mad.

"I have to thank you for helping me resolve the crisis."

After some polite exchanges, Xuan Huang also spoke to the corpse fisherman.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang, you are joking. You just didn't want to make a move. I made a move at that time, but now I think it was just showing off my skills in front of an expert. Please forgive me for making a fool of myself."

The corpse retriever said honestly.

Xuan Huang didn't sense any hypocrisy at all, it was pure sincerity.

But why do I say so? Could it be that this fellow corpse-retriever has misunderstood Biru's own golden soul?

It will only appear in a critical moment, and perhaps the corpse retriever felt it at that time.

Since this is so mysterious and difficult to explain, let it be a misunderstanding, because it cannot be explained at all and it doesn't make sense.

To explain is to reveal one's true identity.

"No matter what, I still have to thank you for your help at that time, which helped me avoid trouble." Xuan Huang said.

When the corpse collector heard this, his eyes lit up and he thought: That's right, that's right, that's it. You are unable to take action because of the constraints of heaven and earth, or you were reborn as a small account to travel the world.

I am indeed smart and I guessed it right. This person is the reincarnation of a powerful person, or a powerful person playing with the human world.

"Haha, no, no, you're too polite, fellow Taoist." The corpse picker was very satisfied with the answer he got.

And Xuan Huang also inadvertently revealed a hint of mystery.

Both are very satisfied with this situation, it's a win-win situation.

"Master Xuanhuang is not only gifted with unparalleled talent, but also has a talent that I, an old woman, have never seen before. He founded the divine cultivation system, as well as the immortal cultivation system, and even various unconventional cultivation methods such as spell cultivation, dream cultivation, military cultivation, formation cultivation, talisman cultivation, and elixir cultivation. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it. I really can't believe that there is such a Taoist fellow in the world!"

Finally, after the rag picker and Taoist Xuanhuang had finished reminiscing about the past, the witch could not help but exclaim in admiration.

The witch finished speaking before Xuan Huang could even begin to be humble.

The hard-working ferryman said, "Not only that, Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang is already a master in refining weapons, and has also made great progress in fundamental practice. He also has three supreme treasures... In addition, the Qingyun Mountain Dao field is full of innate spiritual energy. I think there must be a spiritual vein with innate spiritual energy here. To be honest, there is no innate spiritual vein in the realm..."

"Speaking of this, I'll say a few words of gossip. Fellow Daoist Xuanhuang, don't take it seriously. Just listen..."

The ferryman, who has never liked to use his brain, seemed to be shocked by Xuanhuang and Qingyun Mountain, and said a lot.

"Fellow Daoist, please feel free to speak!" Xuan Huang said politely.

"Is that so? Although the various magical powers of Daoist Fellow are precious, they are still at a low level after all. They will not be coveted by certain realms. After all, they are of little use to them. However, the innate spiritual veins are too special. Our Yellow River Realm, as the top realm, does not have innate spiritual veins. You can imagine how precious they are. I am afraid...?"

What I'm afraid of is not being said.

But it was obvious that the child was just carrying the gold through the busy streets.

Xuan Huang also didn't expect that in the eyes of the creatures in the realm, the most precious thing to him was his innate spiritual vein?

"Is there really no realm?" Xuan Huang asked cautiously?
After hearing this, the three of them looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding.

"Since you asked, let's talk about it. Our realm doesn't have it. We're not sure if other realms have it, but our realm doesn't have an innate spiritual vein?"

Obviously this is crucial. The three of them have a good impression of Xuan Huang, and the Ninth Venerable also said to be polite and make friends with him.

The three chose to tell the truth, which was a sign of trust and friendship.

Xuan Huang could understand.

Of course, this is not important. What is important is that there is no innate spiritual energy in the realm?
So how does the fourth level exist, and how are those sacred things conceived?
"Then...?" Xuan Huang had something in mind, there was no need to explain it clearly, those who understood would understand.

"Indeed, there is none. As for your doubts, how did a fourth-order king, a fifth-order venerable, or even a sixth-order master come into being? It is the innate spiritual energy from the transformation of the realm, not the supply of the spiritual veins within the realm."

The corpse retriever paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, I said that we don't have any in the Yellow River Realm, and other realms don't know. This is true. But on the other hand, our Yellow River Realm is the top of the top and doesn't have any. I don't believe that other top realms have innate spiritual veins. Can you understand this, fellow Taoist?"

Xuan Huang nodded after hearing this, and naturally understood what he meant.

The best of the best don’t have innate spiritual veins, so it would be strange if the others did.

At the same time, Xuan Huang finally understood that the innate spiritual energy they needed for the fourth level was the transformation of realms.

Although after the fourth level, you will no longer care about innate spiritual energy, because the fourth-level true self king can refine ordinary spiritual energy into innate spiritual energy.

But that is something that happens after the fourth level. They cannot do it as they are still in the gestation stage. They still need innate spiritual veins to nurture.

“Fellow Daoist, I don’t quite understand. After reaching the fourth level of true self, which you call the king, one can transform himself. If that’s the case, what’s the point of coveting the innate spiritual veins?” Xuan Huang couldn’t figure this out.

"How can it be useless? I can absorb and utilize it without having to transform it myself. Doesn't this save a lot of trouble? And it can be used for healing and daily cultivation. It can restore mana faster than others. It's very useful."

The ferryman spoke on behalf of the corpse collector.

Xuan Huang: ?????
"What do you mean, Daoist Xuan Huang? Why are you looking at me like that? Am I wrong?"

Seeing Xuan Huang looking at him in confusion, the ferryman thought he had said something wrong and asked unconfidently. "No, don't get me wrong. I want to ask, is this the only effect? ​​... Is it just for fast recovery, healing, cultivation, etc.? Isn't it possible to enter a higher level with the innate spiritual vein?"

Xuan Huang asked cautiously.

The three responded: ?????
He looked at him with the same puzzled, doubtful and misty look that Xuan Huang had used just now.

"what happened?"

Xuan Huang also became unconfident.

"Fellow Daoist, isn't it enough that you can recover quickly, don't need to refine when practicing, and heal quickly? Do you still want to advance? Why do you think so? Isn't it a bit outrageous? It's not that easy to make progress. To make progress, especially to a higher level, it requires a specific time and a specific amount of calamity..."

The corpse retriever said a lot, and Xuan Huang felt that he had figured it out.

It's purely a cognitive bias.

I have never felt that it is difficult to make progress in my cultivation, but it is very difficult for them, very difficult.

Probably one of the drawbacks of being innately divine.

Nothing always has benefits. They are born to be superior, but they are also dragged down by their superiority.

The outcome is determined at birth, and there will probably be no hope of further progress in this lifetime.

I dare not say all of them, but after 90% of the innate gods are born, it is as difficult as ascending to heaven to make further progress.

So when they saw no further progress in the short term, they shifted their thoughts to means and abilities at the same level.

Just like the monk from Qingyun Mountain before.

If progress is difficult to make in a short period of time, then use more means.

And quick recovery is indeed a very unsolvable method.

Xuan Huang understood them, but!

Understanding them does not mean agreeing with them.

Damn, just because I can recover quickly from injuries, you set your sights on my innate spiritual veins. You guys are really ambitious!

I thought that having innate spiritual veins could allow you to quickly advance to a higher level?

"I think I understand your confusion just now. Do you think that this little 'little benefit' would make you covet your innate spiritual vein? It's hard to understand, isn't it?"

The corpse fisherman was quite smart and he understood Xuan Huang's confusion just now.

Considering Taoist Xuanhuang's extraordinary talent, unparalleled understanding and aptitude, it seems that he really has no worries about not being able to make progress.

"No, no, I was thinking about other things."

This Xuan Huang is not easy to admit, those who understand will understand.

Admitting it means you are useless.

"No need to explain, I understand. Alas, this is one of our shortcomings. We were born out of the sustenance and longing of living beings, but success and failure are also due to the same person. If we are not pure 'creatures bred by nature', it will be extremely difficult for us to make progress."

The corpse fisherman sighed, feeling unwilling and angry.

“Fortunately, at least we have seen higher scenery. Some of us humans can’t even enter the realm, and we don’t have the qualifications to practice. It’s even more difficult to become extraordinary. We humans also have our own difficulties.” Xuan Huang said.

“But you are not included. You cannot represent ordinary people. You are special.” said the corpse lifter.

This sentence...left Xuan Huang speechless.

I really cannot represent ordinary people. If the standard of ordinary people is like mine, these saints will become autistic and self-destruct. What's the point of living?

"When you reach the end of the mountain, there will always be a way out. I was also desperate before, unable to control my fate, but then I tried to change it, and ended up in the current situation... In short, nothing is absolute. Maybe when you are really born, the world will change, and you will find that there are many ways to progress. This is unpredictable."

Xuan Huang used himself as an example to comfort them.

The three of them smiled bitterly and shook their heads. It didn't make sense.

Talk to this kind of person... No, not this kind of person.

Compared with an incomparable existence like Xuanhuang Taoist, it is impossible for him to understand creatures with average comprehension, low aptitude, and mediocre talent.

Fortunately, this sad topic has been revealed.

Xuan Huang was prepared. If someone coveted his innate spiritual vein, the enemy would have to be prepared to become the food of his innate spiritual vein.

You want the innate spiritual vein. Coincidentally, I also want all your essence to strengthen the spiritual vein.

Let’s see who has better means.

"The fourth level is the king, the true self is the king, the fifth level is the venerable, the earth soul is in my hand, I am the venerable, the sixth level is the master, the earth soul and the heaven soul are all under my control, I am my own master... In short, this is the transmission of the will of the realm to us, and it is recognized by all the creatures in the realm..."

"The realms are divided into small realms, large realms, and top realms. The sacred beings in small realms are only of the fourth order. Large realms can breed fifth-order venerables, or even several. Top realms can breed sixth-order masters..."

"Of course, even equal realms can be divided into strong and weak. For example, our Yellow River Realm is the top realm. In addition to the Yellow River Lord being at the top of the sixth rank, there are also the first, second, and third realm lords who are also at the sixth rank. In addition, there are the fourth to the ninth six venerables..."

"The reason for the difference is not only the number of masters, but also the strength of the perfect nurturing. Daoist friends, you must know that after the fourth level, each level is the same, but the difference is very big. The fifth level is specifically divided into seven levels, which are the seven stages of the fusion of the seven souls. The sixth level has three souls, and there are also differences between human soul masters, earth soul masters, and heaven soul masters..."

"In short, the further you go, the greater the opportunity is for each level. Even at the fourth level, those who have just entered are not as good as those who have comprehended the magical power... Those who have comprehended the magical power are not as good as those who have integrated the magical power into their domain... Those who have integrated the magical power into their domain are not as good as those who have completely integrated the magical power, true self and domain, and have perfected their domain and started to move towards the will of heaven."

"Of course, fellow Daoist, you may have some confusion, which is normal, because your three methods of essence, energy and spirit are all invincible. At the second level, it will become a mysterious seed (a seed of supernatural power), at the third level it will become a domain, and at the fourth level, you can achieve the simultaneous existence of the true self, domain, and supernatural power. Because of the simultaneous existence and early gestation, it will be easier to integrate the three into perfection."

"I'm talking about the general cultivation method. Your method cannot be measured according to the general method. It's enough for you to know the general idea. Don't delve into it. If you delve into it, you will find that all the methods in the world are hard to please you."

Xuanhuang:......

I haven't even asked yet and you're already asking me this. Have you learned to explain it in advance?

"The Holy Land has always been a Holy Land. In a world where all the worlds merge, there will be five holy lands, and Blue Star is one of them. The Holy Land has never been afraid of so-called alien creatures. To us, they are just remote places, so don't worry about alien creatures invading. They can't do it."

He also told Xuan Huang some news about the holy land.

Xuan Huang finally figured it out. Just like what he knew, after the entire universe and all the worlds merged, there would be five holy places.

Blue Star is one of them.

As for alien creatures?

Xuan Huang felt that the corpse catcher was right and there was no need to take it too seriously.
