Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 344: Refining the Spirit and Returning to the Void to Become a Yang God

The moment his fingertips touched the sphere, a powerful force surged into Tu Junfang's body. He felt as if his consciousness had merged with the entire world. It was not the original kind of control, but a fusion from the inside out, which was very strange.

He could clearly feel every subtle change between heaven and earth, every flow of energy, just like a baby in the mother's womb, wrapped in warm amniotic fluid and closely connected to the world.

The black and white colors flowing on the surface of the sphere turned into the primitive and nascent universe in his eyes, containing infinite mysteries.

The sphere slowly merged into his body, like ice and snow melting in the warm spring sun, and finally disappeared.

And Tu Junfang's aura also underwent a drastic change, becoming deeper and more mysterious.

The chaotic energy that originally surrounded him now became extremely docile, like a subject submitting to a king, surrounding him and forming a huge cocoon of light.

Inside the cocoon of light, Tu Junfang's body seemed to be undergoing some kind of transformation. Powerful forces surged through his body, flushing his meridians, strengthening his bones, and making him feel stronger than ever before.

He slowly opened his eyes, with alternating black and white lights flashing in his eyes, as if they contained a world that was unfathomable.

This light is not an ordinary light, but a manifestation of the fusion of yin and yang, representing his thorough understanding of the way of yin and yang.

His gaze was deep and distant, as if he could see through all the vanity in the world and understand the essence of all things.

As soon as he thought about it, the embryonic form of the world around him began to collapse and shrink. The originally vast and boundless world was now as if being squeezed by an invisible giant hand, shrinking rapidly and eventually turning into a bead the size of a grain of rice, emitting alternating black and white light.

The beads are suspended in the void, rotating slowly, like a miniature universe, containing infinite energy.

At this point, everything has come to an extremely critical point. Tu Junfang's face was solemn, and he recalled the conversation he had with Xia Ye.

He knew very well that in order to truly achieve the "Yang God" in the end, in addition to completely perfecting the "body, heaven and earth", he also had to complete an extremely special step, which was "refining the spirit and returning to emptiness"!
The so-called "refining the spirit and returning to emptiness" is the third step of Taoist inner alchemy. The first two steps are "refining essence into Qi" and "refining Qi into spirit".

"Refining Essence into Qi" means to cultivate the external body by combining one's own Qi and blood with the true Qi, just like when Tu Junfang had just completed the transformation, his body was strong.

"Refining Qi and transforming it into spirit" means to combine Qi, blood and true Qi with spirit to cultivate the inner spirit, making one's own spirit and soul constantly stronger and balancing sex and life, while also achieving the "Yin Spirit".

For a long period of time before, Tu Junfang was in the stage of "Yin God". After reaching the "second stage", he has been trying to "refine the spirit and return to emptiness", that is, to nurture the "Yin God" into a "Yang God".

As for what is "refining the spirit and returning to emptiness", specifically speaking, it is to continuously expand one's own spirit, soul and spiritual consciousness, and transform the "yin spirit" into a fetus, in order to achieve the result of "ten months of fetal development".

What is a "Yang God"? It is to refine all the Yin impurities in the soul and achieve a pure Yang spirit without any Yin. It is no longer bound by the "Yin God" and is truly independent with the soul, taking the soul as its foundation.

In the void, Tu Junfang concentrated his mind and calmed his breath, and began to truly "refine the spirit and return to nothingness".

He transformed his Yin Spirit into a point of spiritual light and integrated it into the world around him. This spiritual light was nurtured in his Dantian, absorbing the Yin and Yang energies in the world around him, gradually growing stronger, like a rising sun, emitting a faint light.

In the world, the yin and yang energies are like two swimming dragons, entwining and blending with each other, continuously flowing into the dantian, nourishing that bit of spiritual light.

Tu Junfang carefully felt the changes in the spiritual light, his brows slightly furrowed, his fingers trembling slightly, as if he was playing a silent piece of music.

As time went by, the aura grew brighter and brighter, and finally transformed into a lifelike baby.

The baby has a solemn appearance, emitting a sacred glow. He sits cross-legged with his hands clasped together, muttering to himself, as if he is reciting ancient scriptures.

Tu Junfang used his own spiritual power to nurture the baby, like a loving father protecting his child.

He instilled all his insights into the great principles of heaven and earth, as well as his understanding of the principles of yin and yang, into the baby, hoping that he would be able to grow up quickly.

The baby's body gradually became solid, his skin was fair and delicate, and there was a hint of majesty between his brows.

In the world, mystery surged, rushing towards the baby like a tide, wrapping him up.

The baby's body was like a bottomless pit, greedily absorbing the surrounding spiritual energy, and his aura continued to increase.

He opened his eyes, a hint of intelligence flashed in them, and he looked at the world around him curiously.

He stretched out his little hand and gently touched the surrounding spiritual energy, with an innocent smile on his face. Tu Junfang watched the baby's every move with a gratified smile on his face.

The next moment, the black and white pillars enlarged again, enclosing Tu Junfang and the baby. The already created world reappeared, more real than before.

The baby plays in this world like a carefree child. He chases butterflies, picks flowers, plays with various small animals, and enjoys the tranquility and peace between this world.

Tu Junfang guided the baby in his practice and taught him various spells and magical powers. He passed on everything he had learned throughout his life to the baby without reservation, hoping that he could inherit his mantle and carry forward the teachings of Yin and Yang.

The baby sat cross-legged, listening attentively to Tu Junfang's teachings. His eyes were shining with a gleam of curiosity and full of desire for power.

The baby's cultivation progressed by leaps and bounds, and he soon reached the realm of "Yin God". His body emanated a faint golden light, like a small sun, illuminating the world around him.

Every move he made was accompanied by a powerful force, as if he could control everything in the world and guide everything.

Tu Junfang continued to guide the baby in his cultivation, helping him to break through the shackles of the Yin Spirit. He passed on his own understanding of the way of yin and yang, as well as his understanding of the great way of heaven and earth, to the baby, hoping that he could break through his own limitations and reach a higher realm.

The baby sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and his body was surrounded by rich yin and yang energies, like two light bands entwined with each other.

In a short while, the baby's body began to emit bursts of dazzling light, his aura became stronger and stronger, and the surrounding space began to distort, as if it could not withstand this powerful force.

Tu Junfang was guarding on the side, paying close attention to the changes of the baby. He knew that this was the critical moment for breakthrough and success or failure depended on this. So he raised his hand slightly, and a ray of alternating black and white light was injected into the baby's body, helping him stabilize his breath and guide his strength.

The baby's body gradually became transparent, as if it was about to ascend to heaven. His facial features began to blur and finally disappeared. Only a ball of light remained, emitting dazzling light.

This ball of light seemed to have life, constantly expanding and contracting, like the beating of a heart, full of vitality.

The baby's consciousness also began to merge with the heaven and earth, feeling all the changes between heaven and earth...

He could feel the gentleness of the wind, the moisture of the rain, the warmth of the sun, and the heaviness of the earth. He could feel the growth of flowers and trees, the breathing of birds, beasts, fish and insects, and the rhythm of all things in the world.

A powerful force burst out from the baby's body, sweeping across the entire world. The violent energy was like a flood that broke through a dam, ravaging this space.

The originally peaceful world became turbulent at this moment, and the sun, moon, and stars began to shake violently, as if they were about to go out of orbit. Seeing this, Tu Junfang immediately strengthened his control over the world and stabilized the foundation of the world.

As soon as he thought about it, alternating black and white lights emanated from his body, forming a huge barrier that enveloped the world and resisted the violent energy impact.

The space of heaven and earth around him was shaking violently, as if it would collapse at any time, but Tu Junfang remained calm. He was as steady as a mountain, standing still like a magic needle that stabilizes the sea, maintaining the stability of the world.

Not long after...

The shock disappeared and everything calmed down.

There was no longer any light around the baby's body, it was just floating quietly.

Tu Junfang knew that this would be the last and most difficult step, which was to merge the baby with the entire "body, world and heaven", and then completely merge the "body, world and heaven" with himself, so that they could no longer be distinguished from each other.

Only by unifying everything can one achieve perfection. I am the heaven and earth, the heaven and earth are me. Future practice will no longer revolve around the development of "body, heaven and earth", but directly seek "transcendence" within oneself.

in this way……

Tu Junfang sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, entering a state.

His body was surrounded by rich yin and yang energies, which constantly rotated around him, forming a huge vortex that continuously sucked in the surrounding mysteries.

In a short while, the baby's body began to radiate bursts of dazzling light. The light became stronger and brighter, as if illuminating the entire world. His aura also became stronger and stronger, and the surrounding space began to distort and deform, as if it could not withstand this powerful force.

Tu Junfang paid attention to the baby, closely watching its every change, then raised his hand, and a ray of alternating black and white light shot out from his hand and injected into the baby's body.

Under his guidance, the baby's body gradually became transparent, and its facial features began to blur, and finally disappeared, leaving only a ball of light emitting dazzling light.

This ball of light seemed to have life, constantly expanding and contracting, like the beating of a heart, full of vitality.

The baby's soul and body also began to merge with the heaven and earth. He could feel the gentle breeze, which was the touch of nature...

He could feel the moisture of the rain, which was a gift from heaven and earth...

He could feel the warmth of the sun, which was the source of life...

He could feel the heaviness of the earth, which was the foundation of all things...

He can also feel the growth of flowers, plants and trees, which is the rhythm of life...

He could feel the breathing of birds, beasts, fish and insects, which was the breath of living beings...

He could feel the rhythm of all things in the world, which was the harmonious movement between heaven and earth...

Then, he began to guide the baby to merge into the physical world. He concentrated all his energy and carefully controlled the baby's spirit, allowing it to merge with the physical world represented by the black and white beads.

In an instant, the baby turned into a stream of light and quickly merged into the black and white beads like a meteor. The beads shone brightly, and the black and white colors flashed alternately, as if a fierce contest was going on.

Eventually, the baby merges into the chaos.

It was also at this moment that Tu Junfang integrated his consciousness into the chaos and felt the scene when the world was first created.

He seemed to have returned to the origin of the universe and witnessed the birth of all things.

From the tiniest particles to vast galaxies, from simple single-celled organisms to complex intelligent life, everything evolves before his eyes, showing the miracle of life.

In the chaos, the black and white qi rotated and intertwined, and once again evolved into the sun, moon, stars, mountains, rivers, flowers, trees, birds, beasts, fish and insects...

A world full of vitality was not born in the "heaven and earth", but in Tu Junfang's consciousness. He stretched out his hand and touched with his fingertips. A seedling broke through the soil and in a blink of an eye grew into a towering tree with luxuriant branches and leaves, full of vitality.

As soon as he thought about it, a clear stream appeared out of nowhere, meandering along and nourishing the earth.

Fishes swim happily in the water, birds fly freely in the sky, and the whole world is filled with harmony and tranquility.

Tu Junfang felt this creative power and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He continued to explore this new world and feel the endless mysteries contained therein.

He strolled through the mountains and forests, listening to the birds singing and feeling the gentle breeze, his heart was filled with peace. He leaned over to observe the flowers and plants on the ground, feeling the rhythm of life, his heart was filled with joy.

He looked up at the sky. The sun, moon and stars twinkled in his eyes, as if telling him the mysteries of the universe.

Tu Junfang closed his eyes and felt the spiritual energy between heaven and earth. It was like a trickle of water, constantly flowing into his body, nourishing his body and soul.

Then, the world shattered, turned into bits of debris and merged into his body, and a bit of life was born, which was the new life after destruction.

He then opened his eyes again, a gleam of light flashed, and his aura became deeper and more vast, as unfathomable as the universe and the starry sky.

So far…

In reality, Tu Junfang slowly opened his eyes, black and white colors flowed in his eyes, and finally returned to calm.

He stood up and took a step out of the quiet room. A powerful aura instantly swept through the entire space, sweeping through like a storm.

At this moment, his eyes flashed and a "door" appeared in front of him. He naturally knew what it was and did not hesitate.

But when he pushed open the "door", he suddenly received a disgusting gaze from the starry sky above his head. He remained unmoved and just raised his foot and walked away.

next moment……

Before appearing in the quiet room, Tu Junfang's body disappeared, turned into a point of spiritual light, and went straight up to the sky.

At this moment, he not only broke through the "peak", but also successfully "refined the spirit and returned to the void to become a Yang God". From then on, he took the first step towards becoming a true "ghost immortal" and began to travel around the world!
