Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

Above Pure Yang?!
Looking at the solemn-looking Taiyin Yuanjun hidden in his sea of ​​consciousness, Jiang Sheng was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and shook his head: "Yuanjun really thinks highly of me."

“There are nine realms of cultivation. If you include Dharma Aspect and Pure Yang, that’s about fourteen realms and fifty-two levels. I haven’t even reached the Integration Realm yet, so how can I talk about anything above Pure Yang?”

There are nine realms of cultivation, each divided into three realms: upper, middle, and lower. Each realm is further divided into four stages, which makes up the nine realms and thirty-six stages.

Between the Nascent Soul stage and the Void Refinement stage, there is the Dharma Form stage. The Dharma Form stage does not enter the realm of immortals and gods, but it transcends the Nascent Soul stage. Therefore, it is considered a separate realm, unlike the initial, middle, late, and ultimate realms of other realms. The Dharma Form stage is divided into four stages: Yin Void and Yang Reality.

Above the nine realms of cultivation lies Pure Yang, and Pure Yang masters are further divided into three realms: Entering the Dao, Holding the Dao, and Mastering the Dao, totaling twelve levels.
In the chaotic universe, among all the myriad realms and heavens, countless beings, whether human, god, immortal, Buddha, spirit, monster, or demon, are all within these fourteen realms and fifty-two levels.

Jiang Sheng is currently still in the Integration stage. He has only passed one of the five tribulations of Integration. Although his cultivation is comparable to that of a True Monarch of the Five Tribulations, his realm is still Integration and he has not yet achieved the Five Qi Convergence.

Jiang Sheng was two or three levels away from the Mahayana realm, let alone the Pure Yang realm or even above it.

Unexpectedly, the Primordial Goddess of the Moon smiled calmly: "Refine the void to overcome the three calamities, unite the body to overcome the five tribulations."

"The three calamities are wind, thunder, and fire; the five difficulties are all present in the five elements."

"You have already overcome the Liver Wood Tribulation. Now that you are facing the Heart Fire Tribulation, is there a better place than the Taiyin Star?"

"The Tribulation of Heartfire is also the Tribulation of Lifespan. It uses the Taiyin cold energy from the core of the Taiyin star to freeze you and freeze your time, which is enough to allow you to overcome the Tribulation of Heartfire and take another step forward."

"After passing the Heart Fire Tribulation, comes the Spleen Earth Tribulation, which is also the Tribulation of the Soul."

"As for the tribulation of the spleen and earth, you can go to the sun and stars and nurture your true spirit with the fire of the sun."

"The tribulation of liver wood refines the physical body, the tribulation of heart fire transcends lifespan, and after passing the tribulation of spleen earth spirit and soul, one has reached the halfway point of the Great Dao of the Five Elements."

"After passing the two tribulations of physical body and lifespan, one will achieve immortality; after passing the tribulation of spleen and earth, one's spirit will be refined and one's true spirit will never decline."

"Having survived these three tribulations, with your innate talent, comprehension, and cultivation, why worry about the Lung Metal Tribulation and Kidney Water Tribulation that follow?"

"The calamity of the lung metal leads to the decline of magical power, the calamity of the kidney water leads to the decline of the Dao heart; once you achieve immortality and your true spirit never declines, magical power and the Dao heart will be as easy as walking on flat ground for you."

Taiyin Yuanjun was, after all, a powerful figure who upheld the Dao in the previous Yuanhui. Even though she was just a remnant soul and had been worn down by 40,000 years of time, her vision was still far beyond what Jiang Sheng could compare to.

His keen insight was not only evident in his ability to discern Jiang Sheng's current cultivation level at a glance, but also in his immediate provision of a reasonable and feasible plan after realizing that Jiang Sheng had a chance to overcome the second tribulation. He even prepared a suitable location for Jiang Sheng.

As expected of a ruler who upholds the Dao and a powerful being of pure Yang, his effortless mastery of such profound knowledge truly made Jiang Sheng envious.

"The moon's influence ferries the heart's fire, the sun's influence ferries the spleen's earth."

Jiang Sheng pondered for a moment, then looked at Taiyin Yuanjun: "Perhaps Yuanjun had already seen what I needed and knew that I would inevitably ascend to the Taiyin and Taiyang stars, so she specially gave me this method?"

Taiyin Yuanjun didn't hide anything: "What, isn't this the most suitable method for you?"

"I can even eliminate the hidden dangers in your fundamental skills, all you need to do is help me regain my physical body."

“Lingyuan, in the chaotic universe, there is never love or hate without a reason. No opportunity or chance will fall into your lap for no reason.”

"You should know this best, so I'm not lying to you, I'm just making a deal with you."

"It's always better to settle the payment promptly than to owe someone a favor, don't you agree?"

Looking at the Taiyin Yuanjun before him, Jiang Sheng realized that he had underestimated these pure Yang beings who had dominated a vast world for a eon.

After all, she was the Pure Yang Dao Lord, who, even after her fall, could return from the river of time after several cycles of time. The Taiyin Yuanjun's open and honest heart, to some extent, also meant that she disdained to deceive Jiang Sheng, nor did she need to be hypocritical with him.

After all, whether Jiang Sheng agrees or not, Taiyin Yuanjun will eventually return; it's just a matter of time.

For these powerful beings of the Pure Yang realm who have attained the Dao, their fall is like taking a deep nap. As long as they are not blocked at the door by their enemies when they return, there is nothing to fear.

Taiyin Yuanjun smiled, waiting for Jiang Sheng to make his final decision.

Jiang Sheng did not disappoint Taiyin Yuanjun. He suddenly stretched his body and then laughed, "Since Yuanjun is willing to trust me, then I have nothing to hide."

"If the Primordial Lord wishes to use this physical body of mine, then take it."

Having said that, Jiang Sheng took a step back, holding the precious lotus lamp, and made room for Taiyin Yuanjun on the Azure Lotus Platform, which represented the central hub of Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness and governed his physical body.

Without any hesitation, Taiyin Yuanjun stood gracefully on the Azure Lotus Platform, looking at the frozen lotus sea, and said, "Lingyuan, may I borrow the Flame of Time from you?"

Jiang Sheng casually handed over the Lotus Lantern, and the remnant soul of Taiyin Yuanjun casually waved it, and the Lotus Lantern fell into Taiyin Yuanjun's hand. She said softly, "Your sea of ​​consciousness has been invaded by the power of Taiyin, but this is not irreversible."

"Now that I've taken your body, I won't treat you unfairly. Just watch my methods!"

Having said that, the Moon Goddess held a cup in her left hand and reached her right hand, fingers together, into the heart-shaped candle flame. With a slight flick, a wisp of the flame of time leaped and burned on her fingertip.

"I cannot use overly obvious methods to clear the Yin energy in your sea of ​​consciousness for you right now."

"That would not only stimulate the remnant soul within my physical body, affecting my subsequent actions, but it would also be of no benefit to your physical body."

"Your physical body contains the breath of the final calamity and the end of fortune, yet it also retains a trace of hope. It should be the transformation of the world fruit formed from the world's origin at the last moment of a destroyed realm."

"When you undergo the Refinement of Void Heaven Tribulation, use this fruit to integrate into your flesh and blood, reshape your physical body, and make your body fit the final tribulation and the final fortune so well that it will not attract any additional calamities."

"Furthermore, your physical body is exceptionally strong, possessing extraordinary qualities that are enough to help you advance in rank."

"However, we can do even better!"

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Sheng saw Taiyin Yuanjun extend the flickering flame of time from her fingertips:

"Clear the fire and penetrate the mystery; condense the soul and purify the heart of the Dao."

In an instant, the wisp of the flame of time suddenly dispersed into countless afterimages, transforming into thousands of fires that fell on every part of Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness. As the flame of time began to burn, the ice in Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness began to melt and recede, as if the scene of Jiang Sheng's sea of ​​consciousness being frozen was being replayed in reverse.

Taiyin Yuanjun said, "Lingyuan, this method is called the Time and Year Heart Fire Technique."

"The way of time, though not as grand as the years, still allows us to visit our ancestors and observe those who come after us."

"It doesn't matter if I can't travel to the future or the past, as long as I can change the present moment."

"This method is crude and can only help you reverse the time for a moment. However, as you delve deeper into this method, the time that can be reversed will eventually be longer."

"This method was obtained by me in exchange for my Taiyin Refining Spirit Method from the Taixuan Suichen Daojun of the Sanxuan Dao Sect."

"At my peak, this technique could allow me to reverse the flow of time by three thousand years. Even if I was severely injured in a battle just moments before, as long as I still possess a wisp of the flame of time, I can recover to my peak state from three thousand years ago."

Jiang Sheng's heart was filled with turbulent emotions, but he maintained a calm demeanor as he watched the ice in his sea of ​​consciousness melt away, the frozen green and black lotus regain their vitality, the wind, thunder, water, and fire in his sea of ​​consciousness surge again, and his very essence be preserved.
"The Fire of Time"

"Sanxuan Dao Sect."

Jiang Sheng never expected that he would hear news about the Three Mysteries Dao Sect again at this time.

Just by looking at the expression of the Taiyin Yuanjun, one can understand what kind of supernatural powers that Taixuan Suichen Daojun possessed. He must also be a powerful figure with a great reputation in the realm of upholding the Dao.

Unfortunately, the Three Profound Dao Sect collapsed even more completely than the Two Elements Dao Palace, to the point that from the Pure Yang Patriarch down to the sect's disciples, not a single one survived to this era.
As Taiyin Yuanjun gazed at the melting ice and snow in her sea of ​​consciousness, sensing the condition of Jiang Sheng's physical body, she seemingly casually remarked:

"If I'm not mistaken, this thing has the aura of the Three Profound Dao Sect. It should be a relic of the Three Profound Dao Sect that you found somewhere, right?"

"Lingyuan, you must remember this well: even within the Benyuan Society, do not take this out lightly."

"The Three Mysteries Dao Sect offended many people during the last Yuanhui. In the end, in order to destroy the Three Mysteries Dao Sect, immortals, gods, Buddhas, and demons all put in a lot of effort. They wiped out the Three Mysteries Dao Sect completely, not even leaving a trace."

"Those who destroyed the Three Profound Dao Sects will inevitably continue into this era. This thing should either not be used, or if it is used, no survivors should be left." "Otherwise, even if you have a background or powerful backer, it won't work unless you can grow to the Pure Yang level and completely take on the karma of the Three Profound Dao Sects."

Jiang Sheng nodded silently, looking at the Lotus Lantern that Taiyin Yuanjun had sent back. He vaguely understood why he had encountered this thing alone and been allowed to take it away.

Is it to inherit the karma of the Three Mysteries Daoist Sect?

Thinking of this, Jiang Sheng's expression remained unchanged, but he wanted to laugh in his heart. After all, Taiyin Yuanjun had been asleep for forty thousand years and did not understand this era.

Those forces that had karmic ties with the Three Mysteries Dao Sect were either already involved in the Xuanmen Calamity or had already been destroyed. Once this Xuanmen Calamity ended, the Eastern Heaven Daoist School would have established its dominance, and Jiang Sheng would no longer have to worry about this karmic connection.

Cause and effect? ​​Jiang Sheng is one, Xuan Yi is another, but who dares to seek out cause and effect?
Have you asked Qingyan Tianzun and Mingyang Tianzun?
"I need to spend forty-nine days to cleanse your physical body."

"On one hand, it helps you regulate your meridians and acupoints, and on the other hand, it helps you maintain the foundation of your physical body."

"In that case, when I fight that remnant soul and turbid thoughts forty-nine days later, your body will not be damaged."

"For these forty-nine days, you will see how I circulate the meridians and channels, practice the Taiyin method, and inhale and exhale the cold energy of the moon."

"When I'm fighting my remnant soul and turbid thoughts, I won't have time to look after you."

As Taiyin Yuanjun spoke, she made a hand seal, and Jiang Sheng's physical body outside also sat down cross-legged, with his five hearts facing the sky.

Jiang Sheng focused his attention on observing the Taiyin Yuanjun's ritual, watching the wisps of Taiyin cold energy travel through his meridians, open his acupoints, and then circulate throughout his body, engraving spiritual traces and Dao patterns onto Jiang Sheng's flesh and blood.

By watching the Taiyin Yuanjun perform her rituals and observing these spiritual traces and patterns, Jiang Sheng obtained a completely new Taoist scripture.

Its name is: Taiyin Guanghan Yuanjun Speaks of the Moon's Radiance and the Cold Moon's Pure Recitation of the True Scripture.

In the darkness, it seemed as if countless beings were chanting prayers, evolving the Yin energy.

"The moon chariot rumbles, the silver water flows."

"Illuminating the darkness and revealing the light, regulating the order of the four directions."

"Having enjoyed and received the offerings, may the dynasty prosper for ten thousand generations."

"The moon is constant, and its brightness reveals its virtue."

"Its light shines upon the eight directions and illuminates the six directions."

"Clear and serene, the moon shines brightly."

Forty-nine days pass in the blink of an eye.

In the depths of the cold pool, within the Moon Palace, countless yin beings still chanted the true scriptures, exhaling and exhaling cold air, making the moon hanging high above the Moon Palace even clearer and purer.

Deep within the Moon Palace, the "Taiyin Yuanjun," who seemed to be taking a nap, seemed to sense something. She straightened up from her cloud bed and looked towards the side hall: "It seems that Lingyuan is indeed in harmony with the Taiyin method of my Shuangyi Dao Palace."

"The Taiyin Body has been partially completed in a short period of time."

The "Taiyin Yuanjun" nodded in satisfaction and said, "Lingyuan, come quickly."

In the side hall, "Jiang Sheng" opened his eyes and walked step by step toward "Taiyin Yuanjun", who was sitting on the cloud bed with flowing moonlight and rosy clouds deep in the palace.

As "Jiang Sheng" stepped forward, "Taiyin Yuanjun" looked him up and down and then said, "Lingyuan, you are quite good."

"When you have achieved minor success in the Taiyin Body, it means that you can practice the methods of this seat and comprehend the true mysteries of the Taiyin Way."

"I have a Daoist canon to pass on to you, to help you solidify your foundation and secure your position as the Young Lord of Taiyin."

"This method is called the True Scripture of the Cold Light of the Great Yin, Spoken by the Frosty Sovereign of the Cold Palace!"

After saying this, "Taiyin Yuanjun" waved her sleeve, and dense cloud-patterned golden seals appeared in the hall. Each golden seal contained infinite thoughts, and each golden seal was equivalent to thousands of true words.

At this moment, there were more than three thousand golden seals in the main hall.
These golden seals surrounded Jiang Sheng, pouring countless true words, supernatural powers, techniques, and cultivation secrets into his body, helping him to experience the Taiyin Cold Light True Scripture.

However, in reality, Jiang Sheng only watched as these golden seals entered his body. Before they could be imprinted on his meridians and flesh, they were collected by Taiyin Yuanjun and incorporated into his body.

"The Taiyin Cold Light True Scripture is not suitable for you."

"After all, Lingyuan, you don't want to completely transform into a female immortal, do you?"

Taiyin Yuanjun smiled, as if she was expecting something.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Sheng quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for your help, Yuanjun. I am in excellent health and have already gotten used to this body. I do not wish to change my identity."

The Moon Goddess smiled, collected all three thousand golden seals, then simply melted them down into a golden hairpin. She casually inserted it into her temple, then smiled as she looked at the "Moon Goddess" who was sitting high on the cloud bed, occupying her body.

"I have already grasped the essence of the Taiyin Cold Light Technique."

"But I don't understand why there are some obscure and difficult-to-understand parts in the Taiyin Cold Light Technique?"

As Taiyin Yuanjun asked the question, the remnant soul that had taken over the physical body paused for a moment, then frowned and asked, "Lingyuan, what is it that you don't understand?"

What is so obscure about the true scriptures?

"Let me explain in detail."

Immediately, Taiyin Yuanjun smiled and said, "Please rest assured, Yuanjun, your disciple has already made some minor repairs to this method."

repair?!
Amidst the bewildered expression of the remnant soul and turbid thoughts, the Taiyin Yuanjun raised her hand and grasped, and the golden hairpin formed from the three thousand golden seals appeared in Jiang Sheng's palm.

"The Taiyin Cold Light Method is merely a method of physical cultivation. Without the Heart Sutra, the deeper one cultivates, the more one's nature will be distorted and one's physical body will be reversed."

"This method may be suitable for nurturing those Yin beings, but for nurturing those who will inherit it, it must be in accordance with the Heart Sutra."

"You, having usurped my body, have only grasped these things and think that I only know the Taiyin Cold Light Technique; but the Heart Sutra, I have engraved it firmly in my true spirit."

"Having only protective techniques without the fundamental principles is like grasping the form but not understanding the essence. Even if you cultivate this technique to its peak, how can you possibly break through to the Pure Yang realm?!"

At this moment, the horror in the eyes of the remnant soul and turbid thoughts grew deeper and deeper. It stared in disbelief at Jiang Sheng in front of it, or rather, at the divine soul within Jiang Sheng's body: "You, weren't you already obliterated?"

"I, I am the Taiyin Yuanjun!"

As he spoke, the remnant soul and turbid thoughts made a fierce move, and countless Taiyin cold lights swept across the palace like bolts of lightning, as if to annihilate Jiang Sheng and the soul of Taiyin Yuanjun together.

However, Taiyin Yuanjun simply grasped the golden hairpin and gently pushed it. Immediately, the hairpin ignored spatial barriers and magical powers, carrying Taiyin Yuanjun's soul into her physical body.

In an instant, the cold light that filled the hall dissipated, and calm returned.

The golden hairpin was inserted between the eyebrows of the fleshy body, and then it disintegrated into thousands of golden rays that disappeared into the skull.

Jiang Sheng stood quietly in place, the words of the Taiyin Yuanjun still echoing in his ears:

"What follows is a battle between myself and myself; it has nothing to do with you."

“Lingyuan, whether it’s the Taiyin Cold Light Technique or the Moon Essence Cold Moon Scripture, they are all my way, my method.”

"The Pure Yang Dao can be observed from other people's methods, but it cannot be learned from others."

"You should also go and find your own Yin-based method." (End of Chapter)
