The Great Way to Truth, Starting from Jiazi Laodao

Chapter 305 Overcoming the Third Calamity, Becoming an Immortal

Floating Cloud Mountain stands majestically against the clouds.

Xuanming was enjoying the breeze and watching the clouds, so happy that he had time to daydream.

When that poet from the thatched cottage wrote "I will climb to the summit and look down on all the mountains below," it must have been on a clear day when he climbed Mount Tai.

Otherwise, the sea of ​​clouds will obscure your view.

Not to mention mountains, you can't even see a single bird.

After descending the mountain peak, Xuanming wandered around Fuyun Mountain, enjoying the scenery and drifting with the current. He also interviewed the Seven Immortals of Xuanxu, got drunk for three days, reminisced about the past, talked about the heavens, discussed the Dao, and had a great time.

Afterwards, he spent several years living a carefree life in the human world, several years sailing in the starry sky, several years swimming in the deep sea, several years trekking in the desert, several years gathering herbs in the ancient mountains, several years herding livestock on the grasslands, several years cultivating the fields, and several years wielding a sword in the martial world...

Discussing the Tao with the Buddha, racing with a horse.

Gazing at the moon before sleep, plucking stars after sleep.

Fishing at sea, playing with fish underwater.

I see the lone smoke rising straight in the vast desert, and the setting sun round over the long river, as I pass by the eastern fence where chrysanthemums are picked.

Xuanming lived a carefree and leisurely life.

He completely forgot about returning to the mountain, letting loose utterly, and his mind was relaxed like never before.

It feels so good to be free from the burden of seeking truth.

When Li Zizai came looking for him, his face full of accusation that he had dumped the burden on him, Xuanming rolled his eyes in annoyance, tossed the unfilial disciple a hoe, and only returned to the dojo after the harvest was complete.

Seeking Truth Temple, Hidden Dao Peak, Seeking the Way Academy.

Xuanming went into seclusion upon his return.

I will not give my disciples any opportunity to live a carefree life for long. Young people are in their prime and should take on responsibilities.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, he closed his eyes to rest and calm his mind, waiting for his condition to reach its peak before undergoing the third tribulation of the Xuanming Crossing.

A gust of cold wind rose and entered the Daoist body and primordial spirit.

This wind is not from the southeast, northwest, or south winds, nor is it the warm north wind, nor is it the wind blowing through flowers, willows, pines, or bamboos; it is called the crow wind.

The medicine is blown into the six internal organs through the fontanelle, passes through the dantian, and penetrates the nine orifices, causing the bones and flesh to dissolve and the body to dissolve on its own.

Most importantly, this wind is targeting the primordial spirit.

It evokes the seven emotions and six desires, and draws out the five poisons and three worms.

Despite being prepared, Xuanming was still drawn into a lot of negative emotions, and his primordial spirit became somewhat weak.

Fortunately, he had eradicated the five poisons, his Dao heart was clear, he possessed the secret method for transcending tribulation, and he also had the assistance of three Daoists.

Therefore, one can remain calm and composed, and handle the situation with ease.

Although the physical body dissipated in the wind and the primordial spirit withered in the wind, the auspicious clouds of the immortal path only waned and did not disappear.

No matter how the wind blows, the fruit of the Tao remains.

Like an ancient fairy island, it remains unshakable even amidst crashing waves and surging undercurrents.

With his hands forming mysterious hand seals, the profound and clear true spirit gradually merged into the Dao Fruit, gaining an additional trace of immortality.

The stronger the wind, the faster the fusion.

The stronger the wind, the higher the fusion efficiency.

The Dao body was broken and then reassembled.

The primordial spirit withers and is reborn.

Over and over again, the cycle continues.

Every new beginning is a process of breaking down the old and building up the new.

Every destruction is a new creation.

Time flies, and the years fly by.

The wind blew weaker and weaker.

The more he was blown, the stronger his body became.

The Yuanshen blows more and more mysteriously.

The magic power becomes stronger and stronger.

The more one boasts about their supernatural powers, the stronger they seem to become.

Finally, the two polarities were born within the Taiji Heaven, a sword was drawn within the Taixuan Heaven, and the Ruyi swayed within the Taixu Heaven.

The Yin Wind Disaster completely collapsed.

A mysterious aura emanated from Xuanming.

Hunyuan officially entered the Wuji level.

The Primordial Dao evolved into the Primordial Rules.

The Taiji Heaven trembled, and the Dao body was sublimated.

Tai Xuan was born with radiant light, and his magical power underwent a transformation.

The Great Void Heaven trembled, and the primordial spirit evolved.

Xuanming's essence, energy, and spirit merged with the rules, and his immortal attributes grew stronger and stronger.

The auspicious clouds of immortality surged to 99,999 feet, and he was transforming into an immortal.

This process will be somewhat lengthy.

But Xuanming could wait, and was willing to wait, to get through this stage, and he would become the number one immortal in the world.

Surpass that immeasurable Dao Ancestor.

Calm your mind and focus intently on comprehending what you have learned, and experience the changes within yourself.

He came to Daoyuan Sea again. Last time, he was invited.

This time I came voluntarily, and I can come and go as I please in the future.

Looking up.

The Heavenly Dao Space has expanded a hundredfold, the evolution speed of the Heavenly Dao Rules has accelerated, and the Heavenly Dao Law Sea is surging with waves.

Looking down.

The underground space has expanded hundreds of times, and the evolution speed of the underground rules surpasses that of the Heavenly Dao.

Humanity is also evolving, but its evolution is beginning to synchronize with the ways of heaven and earth, albeit only slightly, but it is a good start.

Moreover, the law of human self-purification is growing wildly, and there is hope for a balance to be achieved in the abnormal three realms.

Withdrawing his gaze, Xuanming took a step forward and landed on the Primordial Dao. Stepping on the Dao River, he appeared in the underground space and also in the past time and space.

Xuanming began to rebuild his path, and as he approached the realm of immortality, he looked back on his journey and began to mend his way back.

Previously unnoticed vulnerabilities have been plugged.

New insights that I had never had before were born.

Forgotten insights from the past are being rediscovered.

Hunyuan Avenue is being widened.

The Hunyuan Dao River is deepening.

Xuanming walked step by step, from low to high, his feet firmly on the ground, and he walked very slowly.

The paths they traversed were all exceptionally sturdy.

The rivers it flows through are all exceptionally clear.

Under Xuanming's correction, the foundation of the Primordial Dao gradually became richer, progressing step by step and reaching new heights.

Xuanming also found himself in the long river of the past, who had been sacrificed for generations. Using himself as a node, he infused the power of the three realms and purified the source of evil time and time again in the sacrifice.

Little by little, great things come from small beginnings.

He slowly eradicated the source of evil and eliminated the misfortune and unease along the way.

From the underground passage to the human path.

From the past to the present.

As the Xuanming realm is elevated, past principles become rules, and the corrected laws blossom with Dao flowers.

One-third of the Immortal Dao Auspicious Clouds are even more condensed.

He cultivated an immortal body.

White hair flying, Taoist robe flowing.

Xuanming, holding his whisk, continued on his way.

He walked the path of humanity with exceptional difficulty.

The wind, frost, swords, and spears come at every step.

But he walked with firm steps and became more and more composed, overcoming numerous obstacles and breaking through layers of shackles.

When one moves from the path of humanity to the path of heaven...
As we move from the present river to the future river,

Two-thirds of the immortal auspicious clouds have washed away their worldly impurities.

Rules blossom, and flowers bloom across the universe.

Xuanming's magical power became immortal.

He moved on.

While cultivating one's own path, one also assists in the evolution of the Way of Heaven.

When the Heavenly Path is completed, the auspicious clouds of the Immortal Path are completely renewed, and the Primordial Chaos Rules replace the Primordial Dao River.

The primordial spirit of Xuanming becomes immortal.

But it's not over yet.

He can only become an immortal in this world.

May it live as long as heaven and earth, and be as old as the sun and moon.

Now, he can only be considered a celestial being.

But he cannot be a Great Immortal.

To go further, he must transcend the world and truly detach himself from it, so that he is no longer bound by the Three Realms and Five Elements.

Even so, Xuanming still wields supreme power and should be invincible in this world.

At least they have no fear of the Boundless Dao Ancestor.

He just didn't provoke them rashly.

It will take at least another two hundred years for the Boundless Dao Ancestor to break the seal. He needs to seize the time to cultivate and see if he can make further progress. If he can truly transcend, dealing with the Boundless Dao Ancestor will be a piece of cake.

Outside, as Xuanming ascended to immortality.

Centered on the pursuit of truth, the entire world was filled with dazzling colors, with flowers falling from the sky and golden lotuses springing from the earth. All living beings cheered and rejoiced from the bottom of their hearts.

The sweet rain poured down, nourishing the entire world.

The three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man are evolving at an accelerated pace.

The phenomena of the heavens and earth, such as the bright moon rising from the sea and the golden lotus emerging from the fire, frequently appeared and complemented each other.

All the powerful beings, all the cultivators of spirits, all the cultivators of qi, and all the beings of the Three Realms had one thought in their minds:
Some people have attained enlightenment and become immortals.
