Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 234: Connecting the broken path, triple infinity!
"call……"

After a moment, Xia Ye gently closed the book, lowered his head and began to think, organizing what he had learned.

Looking at the practice of "Nine Sequences of Heart Method", the "first three sequences" should correspond to the "first level of reverse life", which is the polishing of "nature", "qi" and "life", and also the hammering and reinforcement of the foundation for enlightenment.

The middle three sequences correspond to the "second level", which is the state of "forming the elixir". When the "yin elixir" and the "yang elixir" are both formed and yin and yang are combined, the "second level" has come to an end, and the process of "perfect transformation of qi" has been thoroughly completed.

As for the last three...

It is so mysterious.

The so-called "Wuwei" can only be "realized" but not "cultivated". There is no method to follow and no trace to find. This is its characteristic.

But looking at the world as a whole, there is more than just one kind of "Wuwei". From other perspectives, as long as one has enough understanding, it is possible to achieve it.

Let’s take the old Heavenly Master as an example. Although his “Golden Light Mantra” and “Thunder Method” are both “active methods” when they are first learned, after they are deeply cultivated, they will also change towards the direction of “passive methods”…

The ultimate power of the "Golden Light Mantra" is to emit golden light, condense into shape at will, and strengthen life, while the ultimate power of the "Thunder Method" is to cause thunder from heaven and earth to descend. However, it is clear from the old Taoist priest that these are not the end of the two methods.

There is no doubt that the old Taoist priest has already broken through the shackles of the "active" shackles of the "Golden Light Spell" and the "Thunder Method", and has used his own talents and understanding to further sublimate the two and reach the state of "passiveness".

Looking back at the past of the Sanyi Sect, from the time it was founded until the end, every sect leader and even every disciple under him were extremely talented, and their comprehension was extremely high, far surpassing their peers...

Why can’t I understand?
"Could it be that……"

Thinking of this, Xia Ye suddenly frowned. Just now when he was reading the "Nine Sequences Heart Sutra" carefully, he felt something was wrong, as if there was an inexplicable "disharmony".

But after taking a closer look, he found that this was indeed in line with the principles of Taoist inner alchemy practice, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with each step. He immediately used his "understanding" to start sorting it out in his mind.

moment……

"wrong!"

“That’s really wrong!”

Xia Ye's eyes widened as he found the source of the "discord". This "Threefold Reverse Life" was indeed problematic, but it was not the overall framework, but the details...

After all, if one can cultivate the "three levels of reverse life" to the "third level" and complete the process of "reverse life and transformation into Qi", it means that this path is definitely feasible. It's just that a slight mistake will lead to a huge mistake. If the details are not corrected, there will never be a chance of success!

Xia Ye discovered that the practice of "nature" and "life" in the Three Ones Sect all followed the reverse process of "from emptiness to spirit, from spirit to qi, and from qi to essence". From their point of view, there was nothing wrong with this...

But the problem is that their method of "refining Qi" follows the traditional process of "refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, and refining spirit into emptiness", which can be said to be completely opposite and cannot be harmonious.

Furthermore, since both are in the "first stage" of "laying the foundation", the three elements of "nature", "life" and "qi" are not in harmony, so there will be no problem in practicing them at the same time, it's just more difficult to get started.

When it comes to the "second level", since they are at the same stage and the three have already combined, it is the most harmonious state, and can also show a power far beyond the ordinary inner alchemy method. The only shortcoming is the efficiency of progress.

But when it comes to the "third level"...

This is a big problem!

At that time, the realm pursued by "nature" and "life" was the "innate Qi", which is "refining Qi and returning to essence", but one step beyond "refining Qi" is the "state of nothingness", which can be said to be one in the south and one in the north, at two extremes!
In this case, it is not impossible to make further breakthroughs. After all, there is still a way forward for both aspects of practice. But the biggest problem is that at this time, the practitioner's "nature", "life" and "qi" have already been harmonious...

How to separate?
In this way, if one were to force a breakthrough, "nature" and "life" would naturally return to the state of "innate qi" and achieve the so-called "perfect qi transformation" state. All substantial things would also be transformed into "qi", which could be considered a breakthrough...

However, due to the contradictory direction of cultivation, the "qi" at that time will be refined to the state of "nothingness". When the three are combined, it is equivalent to "nature" and "life" also turning into "nothingness". Unlike other internal alchemy techniques that do not abandon the "body", it can be said that there is no longer any support carrier...

That is to say, it disappeared into thin air.

If it weren't for chance and if they hadn't broken through by force, the road ahead might not be as simple as "the end", but a "dead end"!
From this perspective, the reason why Zuo Menzhang was able to break through to the "third level" was not only because of his own strong talent, but also because of Wu Gensheng's help, who helped him to polish his true Qi into "innate Qi", so that he could break through...

But this method did not really solve the most fundamental problem of the practice, which led to its end. There was no spare energy to comprehend the true "Wuwei Law" afterwards, which led to the subsequent outcome!

"But in this case..."

Xia Ye murmured, he discovered a new problem.

"If you don't practice Qi refining according to the usual method, then... there will be nothing to refine?"

You should know that "refining Qi" is to extract the true Qi from one's own "innate Qi", and the "innate Qi" exists since birth, so how can it be "empty" if it already exists?
His brows suddenly frowned, and he looked thoughtful again.

After a while...

"Um……"

Xia Ye's eyes moved, and he suddenly thought of Master Kong. His previous situation was very close to the word "empty". At least in terms of "true qi", he was a real useless person.

But even so, because of the extremely profound cultivation of the 'nature', even if the physical body and the true qi are no longer there, as long as the faith and cultivation are still there, in the end, they will still be "nirvana", and the physical body and the true qi will be reborn...

It is exactly “from virtual to real”!
"Yes, that's true!"

As soon as he thought of this, Xia Ye's eyes suddenly lit up. This was exactly "no destruction, no establishment". If he followed the original practice of the Sanyi Sect, perhaps "destruction before establishment" would be the best solution. When Sect Leader Zuo broke through the "third level", it was actually similar...

It’s just not extreme enough, it’s too “safe”!

After all, this "destruction followed by construction" is an extremely extreme approach, and it is extremely difficult to actually achieve. And only when one reaches the end of this road, there may be a real dawn!

in short……

Since you have refined the Qi incorrectly, you should just refine it again. Dissipate your own true Qi, consolidate your cultivation with your life, and then cultivate true Qi again from the "virtual realm"!
Once it is truly accomplished, the original problem will no longer be a problem. The three elements of "sexuality, life, and qi" will be truly harmonious. Breaking through the "three levels" may be easy, and the broken path will be connected...

And the future is endless!
"Well, this is really the best solution. After all, it is impossible for a beginner to comprehend the true 'virtual realm', and those who can comprehend it must already have a foundation. It can only be 'destroyed and then established'!"

Thinking of this, Xia Ye smiled. It is true that "it is because I am in this mountain"... A bystander sees more clearly!

So he couldn't help but wonder, what if Zuo Rutong and Wu Gensheng were not the only ones present at the Sanyi Gate incident that year, but there was also a third party who was capable enough to see through this problem, such as... the old Taoist priest?
"Everything may be different, and Master Zuo will truly live up to the name of 'Immortal'!"

"pity!"

Xia Ye couldn't help but sigh. A banished immortal had passed away, and along with him was the Xuanmen sect that was on par with Longhu Mountain. It was truly a fate and a tragedy.

Fortunately, the Sanyi Sect is not completely extinct, with Master Lu as the only surviving member. If he can really complete this method of rebirth, the Sanyi Sect may still have a chance to revive!
"but……"

When thinking about completion, Xia Ye suddenly remembered something and couldn't help but look puzzled:

"Such a method must have been thought of by the 'Three Religions Master' back then. With his outstanding talent, he shouldn't have left only a 'fragment' behind..."

As a result, he could not help but start to recall what he had learned about the life of the "Three Religions Master", hoping to get some answers from it, and perhaps everything would become clear.

……

……

According to existing records, "Mr. Sanjiao" did not start practicing Taoism since he was young, and even from the beginning, he was not a Taoist.

Since he was born, he has lived in a wealthy family and is surrounded by dignitaries. Therefore, without any external factors or survival factors pushing him, although he is talented, he will not embark on spiritual practice.

From the time he was born until he was thirty, his goal was to pass the imperial examination. At that time, he was a Confucian student, and he devoted himself to reading and writing. In addition, there were very few Confucian practitioners, so it was naturally difficult for him to get in touch with practice...

It was not until he was thirty years old, after failing the exams many times, that he finally decided to give up literature and pursue Taoism. That is to say, he started practicing Taoism at the age of thirty, which was much later than other extraordinary people.

As for cultivation, no matter how talented a person is, it takes time to improve their cultivation and understanding of cultivation. No one is an exception...

Of course, people with extraordinary talents can shorten the time. Therefore, it probably took only ten years from the time when the "Three Religions Master" entered the Tao to when he really came to the fore.

At that time, "Mr. Sanjiao" had just reached forty, which was the prime of his life. Although he started late, it was also a very good time for cultivation. As long as he continued to practice, he would surely surpass his peers and soar to the sky soon.

But at that time, the Japanese pirates attacked. Being kind-hearted and good-hearted, he could not bear to see the world suffer, so he resolutely joined the war against the Japanese pirates. As a result, he could not concentrate for another ten years. When the war against the Japanese pirates was successful, "Mr. Sanjiao" was already over fifty years old. Since he had not practiced for many years and his cultivation was not high, he naturally looked old...

But considering his talent, it would not be too late for him to practice cultivation from that time on. However, due to his deep kindness and seeing the suffering of all living beings after the war, he started to do relief work again.

Fortunately, compared to fighting against the Japanese pirates, doing charity and providing disaster relief is a less strenuous task. It gives him some free time to practice, and he can finally calm down again.

have to say……

The talent of "Mr. Three Religions" is truly amazing. During those years when he was doing good deeds and practicing cultivation at the same time, he came into contact with countless people from the Buddhist, Confucian and Taoist sects, and he actually understood the principles of the three sects of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and thus created the Trinity Sect.

However, after that, he still did not truly practice meditation, but began to promote the "Genbei Method" in the name of the Trinity School, hoping to benefit all people in the world...

This pursuit of his goal almost consumed the entire "second half of his life" known in history. His "Nine Sequences Heart Sutra" could only be slowly comprehended and completed in this process, and only began to show signs of success in his later years.

On the day when "Nine Sequences Heart Sutra" was compiled, "Mr. Three Religions" directly broke into the "Ultimate" realm. As a result, the Sanyi Sect flourished and became a major Xuanmen sect in just a few years. This was inseparable from his previous accumulation of good deeds.

However, after the first generation of disciples of the Trinity Sect broke into the "Second Level of Rebirth Against the Origin", the "Master of Three Religions" suddenly disappeared, leaving behind only a Taoist robe in the house... and the final version of the "Nine Sequences Heart Sutra".

……

……

"That is to say, the 'Three Religions Master' had almost no time to truly meditate and comprehend the Dharma, so he had no Dharma to preach for most of the first half of his life. His actual preaching was also very hasty, so it was not perfect..."

"In fact, since he disappeared after he finally attained enlightenment, the Nine Sequences Heart Sutra that the Sanyi Sect practiced afterwards should not have included his understanding of 'Tongtian'. As I judged before, this is indeed a 'fragment'!"

"So, even if there are some talented people among the descendants of the Sanyi Sect who can supplement and complete its content, the word 'reverse' was after all realized by the 'Master of Three Religions'. People in later generations can only understand its essence through the 'Nine Sequences Heart Method', but if they don't reach the 'peak'... what can they understand?"

"Especially, since the framework of this method is indeed complete and can indeed be practiced, they will not seek help from other Xuanmen masters, so it will be even more difficult for them to discover omissions and find the problem!"

After sorting it out, Xia Ye immediately understood everything. The cultivation path of this "Master of Three Religions" was so bizarre and too "personal" that the "truth" was hidden, and the people of Trinity had been cultivating in a confused way until now.

Even for him, if he had not reached the "pinnacle" and had not been assisted by "reason", it would be impossible for him to make such a discovery. He might even be tricked by the fragments of the "Nine Sequences Heart Sutra".

But then I thought about it...

The reason why the "Mr. of Three Religions" could achieve such an achievement is closely related to his experience and his kind heart. If it were not for his previous experience, he might not have finally realized the "Three Religions in One", let alone the essence of "reverse life".

But no matter what, the root of the problem of the Trinity School still lies with him, the founder. Now that everything is clear now, all that remains is to solve the problem and make this unique method "revive"!
"Ha ha……"

When he thought of this, a light flashed in Xia Ye's eyes and a smile appeared on his face. He already had an idea, so he immediately put down the book and calmed down.

"Hush-huh-"

He took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, then raised his palms and instantly performed the "Nine Turns of Heaven and Earth", absorbing the innate Qi between heaven and earth and gathering it all in his palms!

Swish!
In an instant, a pure white pill condensed in his palm. Invisible pill fire surged out and tempered it, and soon it was refined into a human form.

This is the "human pill" condensed from the innate Qi, which completely simulates all the structures and meridians of the human body. He then injected his soul power into it, making its "sex, life and Qi" complete!
In fact, at this point, Xia Ye could already use the alchemy method to refine a "complete living person", just like Qu Tong's double-handed hand, but he did not have the opportunity to use it on a daily basis.

And at this very moment, this "human pill method" is of great use. It is most suitable to be used as a "guinea pig" to complete the "three levels of reverse life". As long as it is used repeatedly to practice Qi and disperse the power to explore, the best solution will be found sooner or later!

Just do it!

With the expectation of completing the "Three Levels of Reverse Life" and the excitement of the experiment, Xia Ye began his first attempt. According to his previous ideas, as long as he could successfully disperse the true Qi and then resume cultivation, he would be able to achieve the real "Three Levels", so he took action.

As soon as he moved his mind, the "Human Pill" in his palm began to sit cross-legged and practice. The "Nine Turns of Heaven and Earth" also started to operate again at this moment, and strands of the energy of heaven and earth suddenly gathered...

Swish!
After a while...

The "human pill" has completed the "first level" of practice, becoming strong in life and full of true Qi, and has also gained the ability of "partial Qi transformation".

And following the guidance of his thoughts, the "human pill" quickly broke through to the "second level", successfully "transformed the whole body into Qi", and the pill began to form in his body.

Xia Ye was very familiar with the process of practicing "Inner Dan". In a short while, the Yang Dan was transformed and the "Ren Dan" reached the "peak of the second level". It was time to "break and then establish".

Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Ye's eyes condensed, and the true Qi in the "Human Dan" body dissipated, and his breath dropped instantly, but his life was still there.

"Here comes the key..."

At this point, Xia Ye also became serious. You know, dissipating power is no joke. It can cause serious injuries at the very least, or even death. Even for a "superb" person, one must be careful.

"The most important thing is to maintain your life and cultivation so that it can be established."

However, it is easier said than done to keep one's true Qi from dissipating while keeping one's life intact. Otherwise, it would not have been possible for only one Master Jiekong to emerge over the years, and a top-notch one at that.

At this moment, it was rare for Xia Ye to become so careful when "refining the elixir". This was an experience he had not had since he entered the "top", but it also made him happy.

This is a breakthrough!
He knew very well that even if he was at the "top", he still had to keep moving forward. However, there was not much pressure at the top in this world, so it was difficult to make progress. In such a situation, he needed to actively create pressure!
Bang!
At this moment, an explosion sounded, and the "human pill" in Xia Ye's palm exploded into white gas, which meant that his first attempt failed, but he smiled.

Failure is not scary. He had failed countless times in the past in the process of refining elixirs. This is inevitable in the pursuit of the truth. The key is whether he has learned from this failure. The answer is self-evident.

Without any pause, Xia Ye's hands spun again, and the "Nine Turns of Heaven and Earth" started again, directly gathering the innate Qi that was overflowing from the surroundings, and a new "Human Pill" was condensed.

Following the previous method, he quickly refined the "Human Pill" to the "Second Level" and allowed it to disperse its power again, but this time it did not disperse all at once, but dispersed slowly, consolidating his life while dissipating his energy, so that it would not collapse like last time.

And there is no doubt that Xia Ye's idea is indeed correct. After consolidating his life, the "Human Pill" did last longer. However, before he could refine his Qi again, his life collapsed again...

Bang!
But no matter what, as long as the idea is right, we can follow this path. Xia Ye did not react at all, but just performed the "Nine Turns of Heaven and Earth" again and started the third experiment.

that's it……

Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
In the wooden house, explosions sounded one after another. As "Ren Dan" reunited again and again, Xia Ye's expression became more and more excited. He could feel that he was getting closer and closer to the "answer"!
Those who seek the truth can see the way ahead and the approach of the end. How fortunate they are at that time. Naturally, they will not give up at all. As the true Qi in their bodies keeps circulating and their hearts continue to feel and comprehend, the "human pill" in their hands will last longer and longer each time, and they will gradually learn the key points.

After this……

About a day and a night passed.

It was not until the next morning that the "human pill" in Xia Ye's hand finally successfully completed the process of "breaking and then establishing", and true Qi was reborn in his body!
And this true Qi does not come from the "innate Qi" in the body, but comes from a point of enlightenment of sensing the void. It is a point of true spirit born from "nothingness" and "from nothing to something". It is the beginning of the real "innate Qi" and the source of everything!

"really……"

"Without reaching the corresponding realm, it is impossible to capture the true spirit in the void. This requires at least cultivating the 'Second Level' to the top. My guess is correct."

At this point, the “answer” is completely certain!

Then, Xia Ye continued to refine the "Human Pill" in his palm, urging the "Innate Qi Spirit" to grow stronger and circulate. As it completed one cycle after another, the "Human Pill"'s "second level" aura also reunited...

And break through!

Swish!
The next moment, the aura of this "human pill" became stronger, and a faint light emanated from its entire body. It directly stepped into the "third level" and arrived at the "state of inaction"!
Having reached this step, Xia Ye stopped. After all, what he was refining was the elixir, not the person. A little bit of soul power was not enough to support the subsequent insights, so there was no need to continue refining.

So far...

Dan Cheng!

The "Three Levels of Reverse Life" is finally perfected. The "Three Levels" are not a broken road, and the future is endless!

The next second, Xia Ye opened his mouth and swallowed the "Human Pill" directly. Everything in the "Human Pill" became his...

boom! ! !
His entire body turned into pure white, innate Qi, and sparkling white light...

"The third level of reverse life" is opened!
