The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 12 Breakthrough in Dao Palace
Nowadays, her son Li Daoming's cultivation speed is too fast. As a mother, she feels proud and proud, but also a little worried. She is worried that he will repeat the mistakes of those who were once hailed as the pride of heaven.

Understanding his mother's deep concern, Li Daoming pondered for a moment and said firmly: "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely not be like those people who stop making progress because of practicing too fast!"

However, Jiang Qingwan shook her head gently and said leisurely, "It is rumored that thousands of years ago, when the Mo family advised their genius not to rush to break through, hoping that he could stabilize his cultivation first and build a solid foundation before breaking through, the Mo family genius also said these words with great confidence."

Hearing this, Li Daoming couldn't help but reveal a bit of helplessness, even mixed with a hint of barely perceptible disdain, and then retorted:
"Mom, I'm different from them!"

"The reason they ended up in this situation is that, first, they neglected their foundation in pursuit of speed. With an unstable foundation, it is naturally difficult for them to make any progress after reaching a certain level of cultivation."

"You can check my condition to see if my cultivation is solid and if my foundation is weak!"

"The other thing is that their Taoism is too fragile!"

"I think they have been practicing all the way, and they must have been praised and respected by everyone around them. This has led to them not experiencing any hardships, and their Tao hearts are fragile."

“When they found out that their foundations were unstable and that no matter how hard they practiced, they could not make any progress, they became anxious and eager to break through their cultivation to avoid losing everything they had.”

"However, as the saying goes, more haste makes waste. The more anxious they are to break through, the more unstable their mind becomes, and the possibility of successfully breaking through will naturally become lower and lower."

"If I were them, after discovering that my foundation was unstable, my cultivation was superficial, and it was difficult to continue to break through, I would definitely find a way to make up for my foundation and stabilize my cultivation."

"If you can't do it, then at worst you can just cut off your frivolous cultivation and start practicing again."

“It only took them such a short time to go from being ordinary mortals to reaching that realm.

It is conceivable that if one cuts off one's cultivation and starts over, with the superior vision brought by a higher realm, the time required to cultivate back to the original realm will only be shorter, not longer."

“Moreover, if you cut off your cultivation and start over, as long as you focus on your foundation when you start over, your originally weak foundation will become stable after the rebuilding.

At this point, if you want to continue to break through, even if it’s not easy, it won’t be that difficult either.”

“Even if you lose your cultivation once and still can’t break through after re-cultivation, then at worst you can lose your cultivation again, exchange for a scripture, and change a path to cultivate.”

"With their talents, if they can't break through after one repetition, what about two? If two fails, what about three? With their lifespans, eight or ten repetitions would be enough. Could it be that they are stuck there forever?"

"This..." Jiang Qingwan was slightly stunned when she heard Li Daoming's rebuttal. She thought about her son's words carefully, and it seemed that there was some truth in them.

"So, mother, please pass the Taoist volume of "The Yin and Yang Classics" to me!" Li Daoming took the opportunity to beg.

He really wants to complain now.

He had finished refining the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram and his cultivation had become solid, so he wanted to break through to the Taoist Palace Secret Realm.

It’s just that his father has not yet taught him the Taoist volume of Yin and Yang Manual.

So he went to the attic where his parents lived, wanting to get the Taoist volume of "The Yin and Yang Classics".

But he never expected that his father was in seclusion, trying to break through the bottleneck of the second level of Xiantai, and it was unknown when he would come out.

Without Zhang the butcher, can we still eat hairy pigs?

He wanted to find his grandfather, and then he found out that his grandparents were also in seclusion. His grandmother was preparing to commit suicide, and his grandfather seemed to have mastered some secret method that could help his grandmother, so the two of them went into seclusion together.

Now, only his mother has not yet gone into seclusion, so if he wants to obtain the Taoist Volume of the Yin and Yang Classics, he can only start from his mother.

He originally thought that this would be an easy matter, but he didn't expect that after so much time, his mother was still a little hesitant.

After haggling for a while and making many promises, Li Daoming finally got the Taoist Palace Volume of "Yin Yang Sutra" and a thousand kilograms of pure source.

His previous practice in the Secret Realm of Lunhai was mainly based on a sacred spring that his grandfather had created at great cost using a small dragon vein as the foundation.

However, the main function of that sacred spring was not to provide him with energy for his practice, but to nourish and cleanse his body and spirit and to enhance his foundation.

The previous practice in the Lunhai Secret Realm was fine. The practice required little energy and the consumption of the divine spring was not very large.

But the practice in the Taoist Palace Secret Realm is completely different. He needs a huge amount of essence to support the improvement of his cultivation. Even if he drains the divine spring, it is estimated that it will not be enough to support him to practice to the third level of the Taoist Palace.

Of course, this is not the point. The point is that using this sacred spring to provide essence for practicing in the Dao Palace Secret Realm is a complete waste of natural resources, so he naturally needs to get some pure source to assist in his practice.

After obtaining the Taoist Palace Volume of "Yin Yang True Classic" and enough pure source for practice, Li Daoming returned to the valley, but he did not go into seclusion immediately to break through the Taoist Palace secret realm. Instead, he combined the scriptures of the Wheel Sea Volume of "Yin Yang True Classic" to carefully comprehend the true meaning of the Taoist Palace Volume of "Yin Yang True Classic".

Although the Yin-Yang Manual is not an imperial manual, it is also a manual created by a great sage with great effort, and contains his life's fruits and wisdom. Even if he is not practicing all of it now, but only the Wheel Sea Volume and the Dao Palace Volume, he still needs to think carefully and repeatedly before he can comprehend a trace of the true meaning of the manual.

His mind immersed in the sea of consciousness and merged with the broken jade. At this moment, Li Daoming fell into a mysterious state. His thoughts were working rapidly, and the scriptures of the Wheel Sea Volume and the Dao Palace Volume of the Yin and Yang Sutra also floated to his mind.

Gradually, the essence of yin and yang and the five elements evolved in his mind, interweaving into wonderful pictures.

"Yin changes into Yang and combines to produce water, fire, wood, metal and earth. The five elements are distributed in order, and the four seasons run their course..."

"The five elements are one yin and yang, yin and yang are one Tai Chi, and Tai Chi is originally Wuji..."

As he continued to comprehend and comprehend, all kinds of insights surged into his mind like a tide. He seemed to see the magnificent scene of the alternation of yin and yang and the rotation of the five elements, and felt the endless vitality of all things in the world.

At this moment he seemed to become one with the world and felt unprecedented tranquility and harmony.

Time flies, and seven days have passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Daoming slowly opened his tightly closed eyes. Yin and Yang energies flowed in his eyes, as mysterious as the Tai Chi diagram. Faintly, five-colored divine aura emerged in his eyes, brilliant and dazzling...

A hint of joy unconsciously spread across his face. In the past seven days, he had gained so much from comprehension of the Dao Palace Volume of the Yin and Yang Classics.

Originally, he thought that his practice in the Wheel Sea Secret Realm had reached the pinnacle of his current realm.

However, after this realization, he also gained a new understanding of the secret realm of the Wheel Sea, which opened up many doors of potential for him. His Sea of Bitterness also became deeper and wider without him noticing, and his foundation became more solid and strong.

Moreover, he has already comprehended the essence of the Taoist Palace Volume of "The Yin and Yang Classics" and has sufficient understanding of the Taoist Palace Secret Realm, so he can easily step into the Taoist Palace Secret Realm at any time.

"In the Dao Palace Secret Realm, there are five great divine treasures, namely the lung divine treasure, liver divine treasure, kidney divine treasure, heart divine treasure, and spleen divine treasure. The five treasures correspond to the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth in the universe."

"There is no order of priority or superiority in the cultivation of these five internal organs and five Taoist palaces."

"Then, which Taoist temple should I build first?" Li Daoming was thinking at this time.

After thinking for a moment, he had the answer in his mind: the palace of earth, the divine treasure of spleen.

Although there is no distinction between the first and the last step, or between good and bad in the practice of the Dao Palace, the different physiques of the practitioners and the different scriptures of practice make it possible for there to be a most suitable practice in the Dao Palace.

Among the five elements, wood and fire are yang, water and metal are yin, and earth is combined. Relatively speaking, the yin and yang of earth are the most balanced.

He practiced the Yin-Yang Sutra, so naturally the earth attribute, which has the most balanced yin and yang, was the most suitable as his first palace.

After making his choice, Li Daoming immersed himself in spiritual practice. All his mind and spirit were immersed in the misty world of Taoist Palace, in which he was searching for the Taoist Palace of Earth and the Divine Treasure of Spleen in the human body.

"The spleen is the central earth, irrigating the four sides. The spleen disperses the essence and returns to the lungs. The turbid qi returns to the heart and spreads the essence to the veins. The essence is dispersed to the liver and spreads the qi to the tendons. The kidneys receive the essence of the internal organs and store it. It can be said that the center of the operation of the five internal organs of the human body is the spleen."

Following the feeling in his heart, Li Daoming quickly broke through the fog and found the location of the spleen's divine treasure.

His mind moved at will, and he began to practice the mental method of the Taoist Palace Volume of the Yin and Yang Sutra, and began to absorb the essence emitted by the pure source that had been prepared long ago to nourish the spleen's divine storage.

As boundless energy poured into his body, his sea of suffering seemed to boil. Life energy and yin and yang divine power intertwined together to form a surging river that rushed towards the spleen's divine storehouse.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang, and the Earth Palace opened. A mysterious and powerful force flowed out of it, nourishing every inch of his flesh and blood.

At this moment, Li Daoming felt as if he had been reborn. His whole body felt relaxed and he felt like a fairy.

After breaking through to the secret realm of the Taoist Palace and opening the divine treasure of the spleen, Li Daoming did not end his practice, but fell into enlightenment.

The innate essence is born with the human body and is the beginning of the personal heaven and earth. When the form is formed, the spirit is born, and when the form is gone, the spirit is destroyed.

Acquired essence needs to be refined and refined to fill the spirit and nourish life.

The innate essence and the acquired essence merge to produce endless Taoist power, which can nourish the spirit and give birth to gods.

……

Points of inspiration flashed, and countless insights came to mind. The "Yin Yang Sutra" started to operate spontaneously, guiding the endless Taoist power generated by the innate essence and the acquired essence to flow in the Taoist Palace of Earth.
