Daojun, start from Penglai foundation building

"People have three treasures: essence, energy and spirit."

"The world is divided into three elements: heaven, earth, and man."

“The realm of cultivation can also be divided into three levels, just like the three levels of realm, which can all be divided into upper, middle and lower levels.”

"The so-called Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. This is how it is."

In the Qingyang Cave Heaven in Jinhua Mountain, Shen Yao, Anping, Ji Hong and others took seats.

The pure starlight condensed in the sky like stars, and the primordial energy turned into mist floating above the ground, slowly becoming like a fairyland.

Green lotuses swayed brightly, and lotus pedestals grew.

Shen Yao, Ji Hong and others sat cross-legged on these lotus platforms and listened to Jiang Sheng's preaching.

Looking at the entire Qingyang Cave, there are three thousand green lotuses, but only a few are in full bloom, just enough for one person.

Jiang Sheng was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the group, supported by a flying phoenix gilded jade-inlaid bright cloud bed.

The Taoist in a green cap and black robe sat quite casually with a smile on his face. The green light of the Taoist fruit behind his head emitted flickering light, as if explaining the principles of the Tao.

"There are nine realms of cultivation. Not to mention the top three realms, there are six realms: Qi training, foundation building, purple palace, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, and spirit transformation."

"The difference lies in the Purple Palace and the Golden Pill."

"The Purple Palace is a place where one inhales and exhales spiritual energy, consolidates the foundation of the Tao, and reopens the Purple Palace Heavenly Gate with spiritual power. Once one attains the status of a Feathered Scholar, one can live for five hundred years, which can be considered immortality."

"However, the golden elixir is made by condensing the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit. Gold means immortality, and the way of elixir is called Hunyuan Wule. The golden elixir is the prototype of the immortal Dao fruit, also known as the embryo of the Great Dao. It can glimpse the heaven and earth and initially prove the supernatural power."

"From the time of the Golden Elixir, one embarks on the path to immortality, going through the Nascent Soul stage, the Spiritualization stage, and finally attaining immortality."

"The life span of the Nascent Soul is 1500 years, and the life span of the Spiritualization is 3000 years. Although it is not like an immortal, it can also be called a real person on land."

"I am giving this sermon only to explain my own thoughts, to explain my principles to heaven and earth, and to make them known to you."

"Yes, you can learn from me, but you cannot be like me."

"There are three thousand great ways, and everyone has his own aspirations and thoughts. There is absolutely no uniform principle, so you cannot learn everything from me. Just observe and think about it."

Although Jiang Sheng only wanted to select a group of useful people, he still maintained the basic concept of preaching, that is, to preach, accept students, and answer questions with all his heart.

Shen Yao, Ji Hong and others listened quietly to Jiang Sheng's sermon.

Ji Hong was born into the royal family of the Yu Dynasty, so he had a certain understanding of these things. Although the cultivation techniques taught by the royal family of the Yu Dynasty in recent years have become more and more inclined towards the ghost way, there are still similarities overall.

In addition, Ji Hong himself has the foundation of Purple Mansion Realm, so it is not difficult to understand.

Zhao Yanling was originally a Golden Core True Person. Anyone who could attain the Golden Core in this world of the Last Days of the Shanhaiguan Dharma Realm was quite capable, even if he was a casual cultivator.

In addition, Zhao Yanling had been enlightened by Jiang Sheng, so she could understand what Jiang Sheng said.

However, the one who understood Jiang Sheng's words most deeply was Shen Yao.

It has to be said that Shen Yao gave Jiang Sheng too much shock.

This guy was only fifteen years old when he entered the mountain sect and was still in the Qi training stage. In just five years, he has grown into a mature Jindan Zhenren.

He had a very deep understanding of the three treasures of human beings and the three realms of cultivation, and he often even said amazing things that made Jiang Sheng feel incredible.

When Jiang Sheng talked about the method of Nascent Soul, he mentioned: "The first thing is to return to the origin to condense the Nascent Soul, and then give birth to the spirit outside the body."

While others were still pondering this sentence, Shen Yao had already asked: "May I ask, Master Zhen, the so-called returning to the origin to condense the infant, is it condensing the pill to form the infant?"

Condensing the pill into an infant, this key to cultivation that Jiang Sheng had not yet mentioned was pointed out by Shen Yao.

In today's mountain and sea world, the method of condensing an infant is usually to break the pill into pieces.

It is precisely because of the breaking of the pill to form an infant, coupled with the lack of spiritual energy in the world of mountains and seas, that the birth of a divine cultivator has not yet occurred, and that all cultivators have turned to practicing the way of ghosts and gods.

Jiang Sheng had deliberately not mentioned this point at first. Now that Shen Yao directly pointed out the concept of condensing the elixir into an infant, Jiang Sheng not only praised Shen Yao but also confirmed his thoughts.

The method of condensing the elixir into an infant must exist in the Mountain and Sea Realm, but it is definitely not the current Mountain and Sea Realm that is connected to heaven and earth, but the Mountain and Sea Realm where the immortals and gods flourished a hundred thousand years ago.

Where did the method of condensing pills into infants that Shen Yao suddenly mentioned come from?
Is it really the dream transmitted by God?
Jiang Sheng put these aside and began to explain in detail the method of condensing the pill into an infant: "What Shen Yao said is not bad."

"The path of the Nascent Soul is to condense the elixir and to break it."

"The golden elixir is the embryo of the Great Dao. Its flawless and immortal nature symbolizes your path. How can it be easily broken?"

"The so-called breaking through and then standing up is just nonsense. The real method is to condense the golden elixir to give birth to the Nascent Soul."

"The Nascent Soul, also known as the Innate Primordial Spirit, is the result of one's own roots and the Primordial Energy of Heaven and Earth. Nowadays, the immortal arts of the Mountain and Sea Realm are not obvious, and the spiritual energy is polluted. It is difficult to condense a Nascent Soul in the outside world, but in this cave of mine, it is not a problem."

"As for the method of condensing the Nascent Soul, there are three methods: superior, middle and inferior. I will not talk about the inferior and middle methods, but only the superior methods."

"The best Taoist method of forming an elixir is to harmonize Li and Kan, and use water and fire to forge an immortal golden elixir. This is what is meant by the Qi forming a dragon and a tiger, and the tempering of water and fire."

"The Taoist method of congealing the infant is the same. It uses the way of heaven and earth to combine the nature of heaven and earth, return the clear and turbid qi to the unity of yin and yang. It is called the Heavenly Way Congealing Infant Method."

Heavenly Dao Infant Condensation Method!
After hearing Jiang Sheng mention the key point, several people immediately sat up straight and waited seriously.

Jiang Sheng smiled and looked around at the people, then slowly said: "The Taoist method talks about the natural world and the unity of yin and yang."

"The best golden elixir is harmonized with the clear qi of heaven and the turbid qi of earth. The yin and yang are integrated into the golden elixir. Yin and yang give rise to spirituality. The golden elixir contains the primordial spirit. It is harmonized with the primordial mechanism of heaven and earth and refined with the yin and yang technique. It can transform into the primordial infant of heaven and earth and prove the supreme supernatural power."

After Jiang Sheng finished speaking, while the others were immersed in his speech, Shen Yao asked again: "May I ask, Master Zhen, is there a higher being above the Yuanying of the Heavenly Dao?"

Shen Yao's words made Ji Hong, Zhao Yanling and others open their eyes wide. They looked at the young man who was no more than 20 years old beside them with some surprise, wondering where he got the courage to interrupt Jiang Sheng's words one after another.

When Jiang Sheng looked at Shen Yao, he remembered his past self.

The self who asked the question decisively at the Liuhua Danxia Zhenjun Dharma Assembly.

"There are naturally better methods above the Heavenly Dao Yuanying."

"The Yuanying of the Heavenly Dao is said to seek the pure and turbid qi of heaven and earth, but it is just using the sky jade and the earth fetal stone to make the yin and yang medicine to harmonize heaven and earth."

"If you have enough opportunities and can find the true pure energy of heaven and mother earth, you can truly achieve the truth through Yin and Yang and the universe."

"That step is called Taiyi."

Taiyi!

This was the first time Shen Yao and the others heard these two words from Jiang Sheng's mouth.

These two words have always been a respectful title for Jiang Sheng.

Faxiu is the lord of Jinhua Mountain, and the True Lord of Taiyi Cave, Yuchen Lingyuan.

The prefix of Yuchen Lingyuan Zhenjun is Taiyi.

Taiyi is the fruit of Tao.

If you find the pure energy of heaven and the mother energy of earth, you can attain the Tao of Taiyi? !

For a moment, everyone was daydreaming.

Jiang Sheng looked at Shen Yao, a young man who was no more than 20 years old, and said, "If you can find one of the Heavenly Pure Qi and the Mother Earth Qi, I will find the other one for you."

After that, Jiang Sheng looked at Ji Hong, Zhao Yanling and others and said, "It's not just him, it's the same for you. As long as you can find one of the Heavenly Pure Qi and the Mother Earth Qi, I will find the rest for you."

Although he said so, Ji Hong and Zhao Yanling still looked at Shen Yao with envy. Jiang Sheng first said this to Shen Yao, which showed Shen Yao's status in the future. Jiang Sheng thought for a while and said, "Shen Yao, you are already twenty years old and you haven't even been crowned yet."

"If you can be the first to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in Jinhua Mountain, I will crown you and give you a name. How do you think?"

Giving a crown and a name to one, this is the true treatment of a disciple.

The eyes of several people looking at Shen Yao became more and more fiery.

When Jiang Sheng was preaching in Qingyang Cave in Jinhua Mountain, Yinmiao, who had been silent for several years, began to act again in the underworld.

The water of Yellow Spring rushed silently, and as the water continued to flow, a lotus with only five petals rose and fell above the Yellow Spring, and could not sink.

This lotus was naturally transformed by Yinmiao.

In the three previous attempts in the Netherworld, when the Seven Demonic Lust Lotus lost three petals in succession, it was not just the petals that were lost, but also Yinmiao’s three lives.

Now, after five years of dormancy, the Seven Demonic Desire Lotus has finally grown another petal, but Yinmiao doesn't dare to mess with it easily.

The underworld of this mountain and sea world is really too weird. Neither the Daqian Ghost Dynasty nor the Dayu Ghost Dynasty is a good place.

As for Yuanxu, Yinmiao would never forget the figure he saw in Yuanxu. That body was swallowed by the filth of Yuanxu, but it still maintained its astonishing power after death, which made Yinmiao feel frightened.

And that’s not the most important thing.

The most crucial thing is that although only a corner of the body's clothes was exposed in the filth of the abyss, Yinmiao remembered the appearance of that corner of the clothes very clearly.

That is something that Yinmu dare not mention or think about at the moment.

Whatever is said must be known by him.

The Seven Wonderful Ink Lotuses kept floating up and down in the Yellow Springs. Under the control of Yin Mu, a petal was lightly carried to the shore by the water of the Yellow Springs.

This place does not belong to the Yu Dynasty, nor to the Qian Dynasty, but is located in the center of the underworld, the Senluo Ming Mountain that divides the underworld into north and south.

The petals took root and finally a strange seven-petal white lotus grew out, and Yingmiao also walked out of the lotus leisurely.

After brushing off the corner of his clothes, Yin Mu walked into the Senluo Mingshan Mountain with his hands behind his back, smiling.

"To be honest, I was careless. I only focused on going to the North and South Ghost Dynasties, but ignored the mountains that stretch between the north and south of the Netherworld."

"This barren mountain of dry rocks is too deliberate. It has been ignored by me before. I think it is because it is a concealing formation, which makes people subconsciously ignore it."

"But now I suddenly thought of this place. Is there something wrong with the formation here, or did someone deliberately let me come here?"

Thinking of this, the smile on Yin Mi's face could no longer be maintained.

He found that he, who used to be able to call the wind and rain and manipulate people's hearts at will in the chaotic universe, had come to this place of the end of the law of mountains and seas, and was being played around like a puppet.

This feeling really made Yinmu extremely disgusted, but he could do nothing about it.

When he thought of the existence he saw on the Wujian Star, and those eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, as if they could see through the universe and people's hearts, Yinmiao felt a chill down his spine.

Until this moment, Yinmiao still felt that the Lord of All Wonderful Mystery was still watching him and observing his movements.

This is also the reason why Yinmiao never dares to slack off.

He came to look for the Seven Wonderful Ink Lotuses.

If the Seven Wonderful Ink Lotus cannot be found, how will a master like me, the Lord of All Wonderful Things, deal with him?

Yinmiao didn't dare to imagine the methods of a great demon lord.

At this moment, an object in Yinmiao's arms was getting hot, which meant that someone was indeed controlling the actions of his clone, and that someone was indeed paying attention to this place and staring at him.

But Yinmu didn't dare to make any move. A vague feeling told him that if he really acted rashly, then he would lose his clone.

Moreover, the person behind the scenes did not intend to kill him, but let him come here deliberately. There must be something he wanted to know, or something he wanted him to push forward.

Trying hard to keep a smile on his face, Yinmiao took somewhat stiff steps, walking towards the mountains step by step.

Yinmiao didn't dare to look back or look up. He didn't know where the person behind the scenes was, nor did he know what means that person used to control his clone.

Yinmiao just walked into the barren rocky mountain step by step, and kept moving forward in the rocky mountains.

Senluo Mingshan Mountain was dead silent, with only dead rocks standing there, and no sign of life at all. Even evil ghosts stayed away from this area.

In this place of total silence, Yinmiao moved forward step by step. Against the backdrop of the surrounding rugged rocks, Yinmiao's shadow became longer and longer.

In the dark and gloomy underworld, a hazy moon appeared at some point.

The moon hangs high in the dark sky, as if thousands of silk threads are hanging down.

And in the Senluo Mingshan Mountain, on the shadow of Yinmiao that was getting longer and longer, there were also fine silk threads appearing, as if something was controlling Yinmiao's shadow and controlling Yinmiao's every move.

As he walked, Yinmiao came to the towering mountain range in the center of Senluo Mingshan Mountain and saw the most majestic and huge mountain in the underworld.

Subconsciously, Yinmiao stretched out his hand and made a strange hand seal. As a magical power sank into the mountains in front of him, a circle of ripples suddenly appeared and spread out.

Immediately afterwards, Yinmiao walked into the ripples step by step and came to the interior of the mountain.

It was not until this time that Yinmiao discovered that the interior of the mountain was filled with formations and various restrictions. Lines of ghost talismans from the underworld covered both sides of the cave and extended to the deepest part.

After entering the cave, Yinmiao seemed to have regained the ability to move freely.

But with no way to retreat, Yinmiao could only move forward step by step, and under the encouragement of the person behind the scenes, explore the situation inside the cave.

Yinmiao discovered that underneath the ghost symbols in the cave, there seemed to be a series of murals, but it was not clear what was painted on them.

When walking to the end of this quiet road in front of him, the space suddenly opened up, and a huge space appeared in front of Yinmiao.

The first thing Yinmiao saw was the four huge tomb-guarding beasts.

The tomb guardian beast squatted on the stone platform, guarding all directions, holding a dzi bead in its mouth, as if forming a formation covering all directions.

Looking into the distance, you can see a huge suspended palace.

The entire palace is made of dark copper and black iron, inlaid with gold, silver and jade, with golden beasts on the eaves and jade steps in the corridors. It is luxurious, solemn and majestic.

The palace was connected on all sides with iron chains, and there were nine-tiered platforms below.

On the high platform, there are banners from the underworld flying, and ghost armors standing silently, guarding the suspended palace on the platform together.

Yinmiao subconsciously concealed his own aura.

Not to mention the four tomb-guarding beasts whose auras are comparable to those of the fusion realm, even those ghost armors, which one of them has an aura comparable to that of the refining realm?
Moreover, under the nine-tiered platform, on the wide square, rows of stone figurines stood solemnly. Those stone figurines looked like just clay sculptures, but the aura wafting from them represented that these stone figurines had strength no less than that of a Nascent Soul Transforming into a God.

This is the real forbidden land of the underworld.

Yinmiao quietly looked at the nine-story high platform, the sealed underworld, the Xuanjiu Platform. The flags erected on it and the lit underworld lanterns seemed to be arranged in the shape of a star palace.

Looking closely, it seems that the four stars are guarding the Douniu and honoring the Heavenly Palace.

The Heavenly Palace is naturally the Iron Palace suspended in the air.

Yinmiao suddenly realized that this was a place for underworld rituals, and its purpose was to provide support for the existence in the palace.

Yinmiao looked towards the palace. He saw the plaque of the palace clearly, and he also understood the purpose of the person behind the scenes who asked him to come here.

"The destiny of heaven is revealed, the eternal life is in the dark, the Senluo Imperial Palace." (End of this chapter)
