Taoist Master Xuanhuang

Because of the dual cultivation of internal and external, the cultivators are unable to achieve fusion, not even a short-term fusion.

However, because of the combination of internal and external cultivation, the contrast between them can be reflected and collided with each other.

With such reflection and contrast, perfect sparks can always be created.

As for Xuan Huang, as long as he enters the late third stage during this retreat and the Lord of True Self is born, his domain and Dantian will be compatible in a short period of time, and the powerful soul of the Lord of the Realm will briefly enter the fourth stage without any sequelae, except that the consumption of legal power will be faster.

However, this seems unrealistic to Xuan Huang, after all, the world does not allow the fourth level to appear.

Even if the first fourth level appeared, it was definitely not him, but was born in a strange way.

Just like the rules of heaven and earth set during meditation, anyone who wants to break these rules will be punished, and Xuan Huang is no exception.

He was not worried. Even if a fourth-level weird king was born, it would not be a bad thing but a good thing. It represented the expansion of the limits of heaven and earth and the arrival of the era of the fourth-level true king.

Xuan Huang entered a state of seclusion, heading towards the late third stage.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, more than a year had passed.

During this period, the cultivation world continued to move forward as usual. Fifteen years have passed since Xuanhuang began to spread his teachings throughout the world.

Excluding individual cases, a group of the strongest people headed by the four great sect masters have already entered the middle stage of the second level, which is the middle stage of Tongxuan.

Compared to the first stage, it only took them a few years to complete the entire first stage. It has been almost ten years since they reached the second stage, and they are still only in the middle stage. It can be seen here that the higher the level, the slower the progress.

Moreover, the transition from the early stage to the middle stage is the easiest step in the entire second stage. The transition from the middle stage to the late stage, from the late stage to perfection, and from perfection to entering the third stage, is the most difficult level to cross.

It was an exaggeration that they had taken fifty years to reach the second level.

After entering the middle stage of the second stage, their cultivation level has increased by at least three times. As time goes by, after a period of sedimentation and practice, the gap between them will be expanded to at least ten times that of the initial stage.

Even if the monks do not aim too high and take the path that suits them best, the second level is still difficult because there are too many aspects that require practice.

They have no experience to draw on, which may be the biggest factor in their slow progress.

The mystery needs to be comprehended, the mysterious seeds need to be nurtured, the will needs to be tempered, the five internal organs need to be cultivated, and various means including magic, Taoist soldiers, etc. need to be comprehended and studied.

The means of dealing with the enemy and one's own magical weapons also need to improve.

In this era of pioneers, they are all builders.

They build the entire monastic community brick by brick, and the experience and mistakes they accumulate will turn into experience for those who come after them to make rapid progress.

Perhaps many years later, a monk will no longer need such a long time to complete the second level, because he will have the footsteps of his predecessors to follow.

We have the experience of our predecessors to follow, and the bloody lessons they have learned through their own mistakes and regrets.

But these do not belong to them.

After entering the middle stage of the second stage, the masters led by the four great sect leaders firstly consolidated their cultivation, and then went into seclusion to create spells and skills of the middle stage of the second stage.

By the way, improve your previous spells. Although this is not difficult, it takes some time.

Therefore, gradually, the top masters also fell into the same state as Xuan Huang, secluding themselves and practicing for a long time.

As for the development of their own power, they let their subordinates do it. They act as the stabilizing force and only take action or specify the direction at critical moments.

For example, the opening up to Sichuan, Chongqing and other places.

The four great masters and other experts did not participate. Those who participated were led by the backbone forces and a small number of experts.

After a year of exploration and development, the team led by Sichao opened up the shortest route into the central and southwestern regions, and delineated a teleportation array with famous mountains and rivers as the core.

The long-lost Master Poshan and Wenrou Shusheng are also important participants in this team.

Along the way, the team led by two people calculated the situation and continuously established teleportation arrays.

The two of them also entered the second-order advanced level.

The current second level can indeed be considered a high level of cultivation.

Because levels eventually emerge over time.

In the initial period, although the talent of a cultivator can be distinguished into strong and weak, because he has just started practicing, both the opportunities and luck are very good.

It is difficult to clearly distinguish between masters and ordinary people.

It's just that you have better talent so you walk faster, and I have less talent so I walk slower.

But no matter what, at least I have the confidence to catch up.

This gap persists until the first important threshold appears, the difference between entry level and transcendence.

Some monks found that no matter how hard they tried, they could never reach the extraordinary level because the gap in talent blocked all their efforts.

No matter how hard you try, you just can't get in.

However, many people at that time did not give up, thinking that it was still a matter of time, and that as long as they gave themselves time, they would definitely achieve transcendence.

However, more than ten years later, they finally understood one thing: time cannot make up for it.

More than ten years have passed, and I am still at the entry level, while the top people have already gone a long way in the second level of Tongxuan.

It's hard to pretend not to see such a big gap.

Therefore, the title of the second-level high-level cultivator has become fixed to a certain extent.

In the past, the title of the master often changed. Today you are the master in the competition with each other, and tomorrow I will still be a master with high cultivation even if I take off my clothes.

It’s different now. The level that a person with little talent can never reach in his entire life is the level of these masters.

The second stage of Tongxuan level is currently recognized by the entire cultivation world as a high-level master.

Po Shan and Wen Rou Shu Sheng have reached such a level, and because of their special practice, they are famous throughout the world of cultivation.

In the beginning, there were only a few of them who practiced this special way of cultivation. Gradually, they cultivated many later practitioners like themselves.

They gradually discovered that they had become the founding fathers they once envied.

He created his own lineage, the Mountain-Breaking Lineage and the Water-Controlling Lineage.

They were not the only two who created their own unique lineage. Not to mention the previous ones, Peng Yue also found his own way during this period.

This path is the second level of his cultivation level. It is not the level of the True King of the Four Realms that he was born with as a sacred being in the realm. It is a path that he truly has to walk on his own.

Like several of his old friends, he is a corpse lifter, just like Zuo Qiuming and Lu Dongbin.

In short, even without the sacred identity of the realm, they can still survive independently and have a bright future.

The corpse retrievers developed the king burial method based on the coffin burial method, Lu Dongbin's pure yang sword method, and Zuo Qiuming's civilization flow.

The four of them all went their own way, and Peng Yue was the military formation commander.

During this period, the corpse retriever couldn't help but sigh that he was very lucky and was worthy of being the "mentor" among the four, although his status was very different from the other three.

What kind of person is he? He is either a famous person known throughout the ages or an immortal in mythology.

I am just a patchwork freak, a combination of folk superstition and some evil things, a patchwork freak.

Very ordinary.

But because of his closeness to Xuan Huang, he wanted to forge his own path the earliest, so he became the honorary mentor among the four.

It was under his guidance and example that Zuo Qiuming and others left their sacred identities in the original realm and entered the world as monks, real monks who started all over again. Many people began to imitate him and walked the path of real monks.

It would be a bit far-fetched to say that all of this started with the corpse lifters.

It's not an exaggeration to say that An was influenced by him.

All this has shown that he has great luck and opportunity.

For example, in the past two years, he had another opportunity to take off, which was the moment when Xuanhuang developed the Burial Land Dojo.

When the corpse retriever found out, he once again shamelessly asked Xuan Huang for help.

Xuan Huang was happy to see those influenced by him go further, so he nodded and agreed, and pulled him into the Burial Grounds.

He became the first cultivator to enter the sacred Seven Days Realm, the first cultivator other than a ghost cultivator to enter the Burial Grounds, and the first person to completely break away from his realm identity.

The last one is the most important.

Yes, he became the first person to completely abandon the sanctity of the realm.

The little fox Tushan Holy Mother does not count, after all, there is her clone in the world of Liao Zhai, and because of some coincidences, the clone in the world of Liao Zhai lives a very comfortable life.

She became a child that the Liao Zhai realm consciousness cared about very much. The consciousness was particularly fond of her and completed the sacred origin of the realm that he had previously disintegrated into a weapon because he defected to Xuan Huang.

Not only did it complete his work, but it also allowed his origin to directly reach the level of a fifth-order Venerable.

Therefore, the little fox Tushan Mother cannot be considered to have strictly broken away from her realm identity and become a true practitioner.

The first one to retrieve the corpse is the one who comes first.

He was not like this at the beginning. His original body was still in the Yellow River Realm, and the ones wandering around the human world were just his soul and clone.

This state is actually very good. At least there are two states, which is equivalent to two lives.

But when he enters the Seven Days Burial Ground, he must make a new choice.

There are restrictions on the realm saints going to the main world. For example, currently only the top realm saints can come out, and only the kings of the four realms can come out.

Only the top-level realms can support the kings of the four realms to roam the main world without being transformed by the main world.

Moreover, the strongest can only protect the fourth-level king, not the fifth-level venerable.

But, it’s not possible to go there for seven days. The main world is in the main world, and seven days is seven days.

The realm was conceived by the main world, and they are in a superior-subordinate relationship. However, Qi Tian is not the superior of the realm, and is in opposition to the main world.

It is impossible for a creature from a realm to go to the Seven Days. It must either be a creature from the main world or a creature from the Seven Days.

There is no other way.

The corpse retriever did not hesitate for long and chose to abandon the sacred identity of the realm and became a member of the main world, as well as a new creature of seven days.

Under Xuan Huang's guidance and with Xuan Huang's help, he buried himself.

Buried in the sea of ​​blood, it undergoes a transformation and rebirth.

The price of burying himself is his previous identity, the sacred identity of the fourth-level realm.

It can also be understood as an alternative sacrifice, sacrificing one's former identity and everything, and then being reborn.

He called it: Ji Dao.

However, Xuan Huang advised him that the name was too big and he couldn't grasp it, so he should not use such a big name and should be more realistic.

The corpse retriever is also an honest man and is very receptive to advice.

Since the Taoist master said that this name is not suitable, let’s change it to King of Burial.

Xuan Huang originally thought that this name was a bit big, but after thinking about it, he realized that it was much smaller than Jidao, so he let it be.

The Buried King here refers to the identity of the real king before burial, not that kind of king.

The corpse collector then buried himself and began his transformation through the coffin burial method.

When he wakes up from the burial ground, he will transform into a third-order being, an existence beyond his current level.

After all, he had buried and sacrificed his origin and Taoism of a fourth-order True King, so it was not excessive for him to enter the third order.

Among the four-member group, he temporarily withdrew from the group and dug a hole to bury himself.

Peng Yue, Zuo Qiuming, Lü Dongbin and others envied their old friend, but also felt very disappointed. One of the few people traveling with them was temporarily missing.

Some people may ask, since this real way to enter the world is so good, why not mobilize more sacred beings in the realm to take this path?

The reason is also because of the corpse pickers.

This guy sacrificed his own divine origin identity, and the impact was huge.

Although the realms have no wisdom, they are also afraid of such laws and instinctively feel fear and threat.

There were still seven days when he could not defeat the enemy. He sacrificed his own essence as a sacred being. He could have taken back or even killed this rebellious son.

But I can’t win, and I can’t win even if I fight for it.

The will of the realm is called realm consciousness, and the will of the seven days is called the way of heaven.

It is difficult for them to figure out how a consciousness of heaven and earth can compete with the way of heaven.

Their father's Heavenly Dao in the main world is pretty good.

Although the sacrifices of corpse collectors have alleviated many conflicts to the greatest extent, they are still too threatening.

It should be explained that the corpse retriever is not selfish and reckless. His three old friends have been upgraded to the fifth-level Venerable Origin in their respective realms because of the growth of their own luck and origin.

Even if he is very bad, he has improved a lot and is no longer the original origin of the four realms.

He has already reached the limit of the fourth level, and even if he works harder, the Yellow River Realm will be able to elevate him to the origin level of a fifth-level Venerable.

He has been traveling around the human world over the years, and the civilization he brought to the Yellow River Realm has also promoted the strengthening of the Yellow River Realm.

He owed nothing to his old mother, and what he offered was only what he deserved, or even less.

Otherwise, it would be that he would only be at the third level after burying himself in the transformation.

He had considered it thoroughly and decided not to let his colleagues in the realm suffer because of his actions, such as the laborers and the witch.

He was not implicated by the corpse-retriever's [rebellion].

It is to bury yourself after considering everything, not to be selfish and disregard anything.

However, the reaction of the realm was also expected. After his action, in short, all realms imposed restrictions on the sacredness they nurtured.

For example, some soul divisions, avatars, reincarnations, sacrifices, etc. are all closed.

It is even more difficult to have someone with dual identities like Peng Yue, Lu Dongbin, and Zuo Qiuming.

Unless you come up with a new way to obtain dual identities, the paths for the other four to obtain dual identities are blocked by the realm consciousness.

Therefore, the three of them were very depressed. They lost a companion, but no new companions appeared.
