Taoist Master Xuanhuang

Chapter 64 Bone Pagoda
  "Change!"

The moment when the leg bone was imprinted with the true meaning by the grinding process of Guixu, it was about to be born.

Xuanhuang threw the leg bones into the furnace of heaven and earth again and entered the final shaping process.

With the blessing of God, the leg bones that were once again thrown into the furnace of heaven and earth began to change after being endowed with true meaning and consciousness by Guixu Damo.

The leg bones began to expand and slowly shorten, until a nine-story bone tower measuring 1,392.7 centimeters appeared.

At this point, the strange refining of the leg bones was officially completed.

Xuanhuang not only changed the strange and chaotic state of mind, but also changed its appearance.

From a leg bone soaked with blood, it turned into a nine-story bone tower with shining white light.

Refining a bloody leg bone magic weapon is not in line with the behavior of a master like a 'mysterious master'.

It might as well be refined into a pagoda-like form - the White Bone Pagoda.

"receive!"

Xuanhuang put away the Guixu Great Mill and the Heaven and Earth Furnace, but held the White Bone Pagoda in his hands.

I felt the mystery of the extension of my will. The 'body' of the White Bone Pagoda was forged in the furnace of heaven and earth, and the 'mind' of the White Bone Pagoda was bestowed by the Great Mo of Guixu.

It is equivalent to a direct gift from Xuanhuang, so the newborn pagoda is connected to Xuanhuang's mind.

Looking carefully, the Bone Pagoda has a rough feel. Although its surface is as smooth as jade, it cannot hide that it is just an embryonic magic weapon.

There are no carvings on the tower, nor any pendants. It is just sharp-edged, with form but no spirit.

The 'god' here refers to many things in general - such as the precipitation of time, the monks' sacrifices, the experience of the pagoda, etc.

At this moment, it's like a newborn.

"I'll call you Bone Pagoda from now on."

Xuanhuang gave it a very common name.

After all, it is for experimental use, not necessarily for personal use.

Therefore, the biggest gain this time is not the pagoda, but that Xuanhuang has truly realized the weapon refining method in the superego deduction.

The physical form of the magic weapon is refined through the furnace of heaven and earth, and the mind is given through the grinding mill at the ruins. Weird materials are treasures in themselves, and come with their own treasures and inspirations, and there is no need for Tongtian Jianmu to give them inspirations.

"In this way, as long as it is not beyond the scope of my ability, I can refine it into a magic weapon that can be controlled by Guixu Damo?"

"And this kind of magic weapon has the ability to evolve itself. It can be said to be unique. This weird thing is really a treasure. Each one is a condensed rule."

Xuanhuang once again lamented the weirdness and specialness.

In this world where all realms collide, treasures condensed by rules in other worlds can only be obtained when the world first opens.

"Don't say there are no treasures in this world, it's just that you don't know how to use them."

As long as you have the ability to refine and control these strange things, it is really a path to heaven.

For example, although Xuanhuang doesn't value the White Bone Pagoda, if it is given to others and others control the White Bone Pagoda, it is equivalent to mastering the starting point of the White Bone Rule.

If you use it well, it will benefit yourself through the evolution of the pagoda. If you follow the pagoda's growth, you can at least reach a very high level.

"See what the pagoda is capable of?"

In the past, the leg bones had the ability to swallow bones to strengthen themselves, but now the pagoda retains this ability.

But Xuanhuang didn't know about other abilities, and neither did the people in the martial arts school.

Xuanhuang investigated.

"Huh? The creatures covered by it will suffer the pain of tens of thousands of bones being broken. If the mind is broken, it will affect reality... Are the bones of the people covered by it really broken like grains of sand?"

"Is this the ability? It's very weak. No wonder the people from the Evil Suppression Department didn't want it."

Xuanhuang was somewhat disappointed.

I thought it had other abilities, but I didn't expect that in addition to swallowing bones and growing, those covered by its rules would suffer the pain of tens of thousands of bones shattering.

"Using the waste, you can eat the bones and grow them. The pain of broken bones can make the monks undergo training."

"Will, especially the will of low-level monks, tempering... is nothing but suffering."

Thinking of this, Xuanhuang felt that this bone pagoda could be used as a trial pagoda.

Points are required to enter, and points are bones.

As long as you can collect bones or redeem them with points, you can enter the Bone Pagoda... and suffer the consequences.

Do you need to pay the price for suffering?
  It's a bit weird no matter how you look at it.

But it really works.

Others tempered their wills, but not as quickly as Xuanhuang. Even with the refining method taught by Xuanhuang, it is difficult to temper one's will.

Not only is the spirit, energy and spirit integrated and coordinated, but control is the most critical.

Xuanhuang has three weapons under his control, which does not require him to pay much attention at all. He also has the help of God in the small world.

Therefore, as long as he has firewood and enough energy, he doesn't need to worry about anything else.

Other monks don't have such conditions.

It is difficult to temper your will.

At least it requires precise control of one's own energy and energy, which requires a lot of effort.

Whether it is essence as firewood, or a god who cultivates immortality as firewood, or Qi as firewood, control is required.

And where does control come from?
  Naturally, you need to exercise. You usually have strong control, but it's different when you temper your will. You need stronger control, and you can't neglect it at all.

After all, this is an extreme operation within one's own spirit.

So, feel the inhuman suffering, and go to the Bone Pagoda to temper your will and control.

Being able to maintain one's will even in such a hardship as breaking all the bones in the body, one's control and concentration of will will naturally be enhanced.

"It seems to have had some effect."

Xuanhuang made a decision and planned to use it like this to test the people on Qingyun Mountain.

"In addition, because it is controlled by Guixu Damo, it can be adjusted. Levels one to nine can be used as the nine levels of the Nine Refinements of Will."

There are two methods taught by Xuanhuang, one is the refining method and the other is the fusion method.

Everyone knows about the fusion method. It is said to be a fusion method, but in fact it should be called a ‘borrowing method’.

Xuanhuang divided the inscription of 'borrowing method' into twelve lines.

Every time a monk carves an inscription, it means deepening the furnace of heaven and earth.

The deeper you go, the stronger the ability you can borrow.

But the refining method is different. It is Xuanhuang's true method of refining his will, directly derived from his method of refining his will.

This is the Huanghuang Avenue, and Xuanhuang has nothing to hide here.

This is destined to be difficult.

As a result, all the monks currently focus on melting the law and refining the law as a supplement. They want to make up for it after reaching a certain level.

Who wouldn’t want to take a shortcut?
  Moreover, the refining method is not as fancy as the fusion method with twelve levels. The refining method only has nine levels. As long as the nine levels are completed, you can attack the extraordinary will.

Often the high road is simple and plain, while the crooked road is gaudy.

But practicing is too difficult.

Strength of will, ability to control, and coordination of spirit, energy, and spirit are just the basics.

If you want to make progress, you must practice, which is the tempering of time and your own tempering.

It won’t work if you don’t have enough time, it won’t work if your energy and spirit are not coordinated and unified, and it won’t work if you don’t have firm faith.

Especially in terms of self-training... The cultivators of Fusion Method, borrowing Xuanhuang's ideas, only need to find out which aspects of their own energy and spirit are lacking and make up for it. After all, there will be no imbalance, and it is suppressed by the will borrowed from Xuanhuang.

This is not possible for practicing monks. They need to suppress it with their own will, which requires maintaining balance at all times.

You need to be careful when taking drugs.

Could it be that taking qi-replenishing medicine has resulted in strong qi and weak spirit and energy?
  Will taking semen-tonifying drugs cause the essence to be too strong and the spirit and qi to be weak and unbalanced?

and many more……

All require step-by-step cyclical progress.

The above is still about body balance.

What about tempering your will?
  Harder.

Therefore, the appearance of the Bone Pagoda can be regarded as a hope, a way to temper the will and exercise control.

If everyone followed the Fusion Method, and few people practiced the Fusion Method due to its difficulty, Xuanhuang would not be happy either.

What he wants is not a puppet under his control.

What is needed is Taoist friends who can reach high places, even if they are followers.
