I am devoted to the Tao

Chapter 108: Gathering Ten Thousand Daos into One Body, Dispersing One Body into Ten Thousand Daos
[Knowing that An Yunyi likes to be a teacher, you agreed directly.]

[Although you have practiced in the simulation for decades, the only one who truly taught you how to practice was Elder Jingyun.]

[Elder Jingyun is quite powerful, but there is a clear gap between him and An Yunyi, the first true disciple of the previous generation of the Supreme Demon Sect.]

[An Yunyi then took out three jade talismans and handed them to you.]

[The three jade talismans are called Heaven Covering Talismans, which can conceal the secrets of heaven and prevent them from being calculated.]

After receiving the Heaven-Covering Talisman, you will reside at the Moon-Shanging Academy and begin to comprehend the Universal Buddha Light recorded in the "Future Star Sutra."

An Yunyi also did as she said. Every day after class, he would come to find you and teach you how to practice.

"You have cultivated many scriptures left behind by True Immortals, Immortal Kings, and even Supreme Beings. This is a blessing, but it may not always be beneficial."

An Yunyi raised her hand and pointed, and magic power flew out from her fingertips like a trickle of water and turned into a big tree full of fruits.

"The scriptures and skills are the cultivator's summary of his life's path, which is equivalent to this great tree. The supernatural powers are the extension of the great path, which is equivalent to the fruit on the tree."

"There's no problem with your current cultivation, but when you break through the seventh realm and condense the Dao fetus in the future, problems may arise."

Jiang Chuan fell into deep thought.

The Tao fetus is also called the Tao body.

Gathering thousands of Daos into one body, dispersing one body becomes thousands of Daos.

The Ten Realms Immortals can comprehend the mysteries of the world and open up a world of caves and heavens.

How many people can withstand the power of creation?
In ancient times, many cultivators were killed by the aftermath because they wanted to create a world within their bodies.

Therefore, Taixu Daojun improved the method of cultivation and created the Dao body to carry the cave world.

The Dao body must be strong enough to withstand the power of the creation of heaven and earth.

This is what An Yunyi meant by forging the foundation of immortality.

There are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters in the country.

It is natural for a Taoist body to have only one main scripture.

Otherwise, it would be like a country with several rulers, unable to work together and exert the greatest strength.

His previous realm was only the third realm. Not to mention becoming an immortal, he was still far from the sixth or seventh realm. Naturally, he had never thought about this problem.

An Yunyi's words made Jiang Chuan realize that he should make a decision.

"Among the scriptures I've practiced, only the Sword Sutra from Yizhu Fairy Island has been cultivated to a decent level. However, if I want to control the magical powers of my many scriptures, I can only choose the Future Constellation Sutra."

"That's right. So, from now on, you should temporarily put aside your contemplation of the Sword Sutra, redeem the scripture and supernatural powers given to you by the Demon Lord, and devote all your energy to cultivating and comprehending the Future Constellation Sutra to perfection."

Under An Yunyi's guidance, you began to comprehend the "Future Constellation Sutra."

[After half a year, your understanding of the "Future Constellation Sutra" will be further improved.]

[At the same time, set up a large formation, continuously collecting starlight. Relying on the starlight accumulated over half a year, you have initially mastered the Thousand Starlight Escape.]

[The Thousand Starlight Escape, said to be fully mastered, can cross the universe in a single thought.]

[The reason I chose this magical power to cultivate is because one of the Heaven-Covering Talismans that An Yunyi gave you has developed many cracks.]

[You know this is the Maha Temple, and you can deduce your whereabouts.]

[When the three jade talismans shatter, that will be the time for the Maha Palace to attack.]

[Three months later, if you calculate the time, it's almost time for Mu Bingyun to have a sword fight with Nangong Chang, the first true disciple of the Yuhua Immortal Sect.]

【So, you found An Yunyi and said goodbye.】

"You are too weak. Even if you want to help Bodhi Temple, you are powerless." An Yunyi spoke slowly.

Jiangchuan:? ? ?
I went to watch Mu Bingyun fight Nangong Chang and kill Li Yuejiao.

What does it have to do with Bodhi Temple?
"I'm going to Danfeng Mountain to watch the duel between Mu Bingyun and Nangong Chang."

"Is that so? I thought you knew about the Demonic Path's plan and were going to help Bodhi Temple."

Hearing An Yunyi's words, Jiang Chuan looked worried: "Is the Demonic Path going to attack Bodhi Temple?"

Although he had always wanted to return to secular life when he was in Bodhi Temple, there were still Senior Brother Jinghui, Elder Jingyun, Abbot Kongming and others in Bodhi Temple.

"It's not really about fighting, I just want to sabotage it or get a piece of the action from the opening of the Nine Abyss Prison."

An Yunyi explained, "The jailers of Jiuyuan Prison back then were led by nine men, and the founding emperor of the Jiuyuan Dynasty was the great-grandson of one of them. These nine leaders controlled the nine keys to Jiuyuan Prison."

"The ancient sages of the human race also understood that human hearts are fickle. To prevent the Eleventh Realm Immortal Phoenix from escaping, they set up a formation so that only those with more than half of the keys, or at least five, could open the Nine Abyss Prison."

"After a long time, the whereabouts of the four keys are unknown. Three are in the hands of the Jiuyuan Dynasty, one is in the Bodhi Temple, and the other is obtained by the Taicang Zhou family."

"Calculating the time, the Zhou family should have sent the key to the Jiuyuan Imperial Capital by now, and the Demonic Path should have already taken action and snatched the key to the Jiuyuan Prison."

"So they just wanted to steal the key. I almost thought the six sects of the Demonic Path were going to destroy the Bodhi Temple!"

An Yunyi raised his eyes and looked at the Purple Cloud Ancestor above Jiang Chuan's head.

"In fact, the six sects of the Demonic Path did consider destroying the Bodhi Temple. However, the Demon Lord later rejected this idea."

"Is the Eternal Demon Lord worried about the foundation of Bodhi Temple? He is afraid that destroying Bodhi Temple will seriously damage the vitality of the demon sect, giving the immortal sect the opportunity to wipe out all six sects of the demon sect?" Jiang Chuan touched his chin.

"That's not the reason."

"What's the reason for that?"

"The Demon Lord is worried that if the Bodhi Temple is truly destroyed, what will happen if the Bodhi Saint Buddha ascends to the Buddhist realm and tells the future Star King Buddha about this?"

Jiang Chuan once again realized the benefits of having a backer.

Even the Ancient Demon Lord who is as powerful as the Tenth Realm is terrified of the Bodhi Temple.

At the same time, Jiang Chuan also confirmed one thing.

The fact that Bodhi Temple has survived to this day is indeed due to the blessing of the ancestors!
[Although you are willing to help Bodhi Temple, you are also aware of your own strength.]

[The six sects of the Demonic Path all want a piece of the pie. How can you, a mere cultivator of the fourth realm, fight against the six sects of the Demonic Path?]

After leaving the Moon-Shanging Academy, you flew for three days and three nights and arrived at the Jiuyuan Imperial Capital.

[As soon as you arrived at the Jiuyuan Imperial Capital, you saw the Imperial Capital Grand Formation activated.]

[The entire Jiuyuan Imperial City was in a state of panic. Through the light curtain of the formation, one could clearly see the Jiuyuan Imperial Dynasty soldiers searching every household.]

[Seeing this scene, you knew in your heart that the six sects of the Demonic Path must have succeeded and obtained the key to the Nine Abyss Prison from the Taicang Zhou family.]

[The purpose of your trip wasn't to enter the Jiuyuan Imperial Capital, so I didn't pay much attention to it. I then headed to Danfeng Mountain.]

[You will understand only after you come to Danfeng Mountain.]

[More than half a year ago, the cave world left by the Dark Yu Demon Lord on the sixth layer of the underground abyss was opened. Nangong Chang rescued his fellow apprentices and was severely injured by Wan Shanhe, damaging his essence.]

[Don't even think about recovering to your peak form for another three to five years. The sword duel with Mu Bingyun has to be postponed.]

[After a long journey, but returning empty-handed, you feel a little unhappy.]

After a moment's thought, you choose to stay at the inn near Danfeng Mountain.

[The Jiuyuan Imperial Capital is the most important city in the Jiuyuan. Every year, countless cultivators come here to trade and purchase the spiritual materials and treasures needed for cultivation.]

[You plan to purchase some treasures for cultivation and then return to the Moon-viewing Academy.]

[After waiting for ten days and ten nights, the formation covering the Jiuyuan Imperial Capital was lifted.]

Following the advice of Patriarch Ziyun, you came to the Linglong Pavilion opened by the Taisu Immortal Palace to purchase treasures and spiritual materials.

The floor of Linglong Pavilion is paved with jade, never stained by dust.

When you walk into it, you can smell a faint fragrance that makes you feel refreshed.

"This is the fragrance of the borneol tree. This tree can be used as the main material for refining low-grade treasures, but now it is being used as firewood. Linglong Pavilion is indeed a force under the command of Taisu Immortal Palace."

As Jiang Chuan was sighing inwardly, a maid in green came up to him.

"I wonder what the guest wants to buy from my Linglong Pavilion?"

"Give me a list of all the spiritual fires and spiritual materials containing star power in Linglong Pavilion."

After a moment, Jiangchuan took the list handed to him by the maid and began to look through it.

"Earth Fire, Devil Blood Flame, Ocean Flame"

Jiang Chuan looked at the various spiritual fires on the list, his heart beating fast.

"The Linglong Pavilion has 108 kinds of spiritual fire, and there are even five elements of true fire. If I can refine all of these 108 kinds of spiritual fire, I should be able to cultivate the smelting technique."

The Five Elements True Fire is a famous divine fire, which is said to be able to burn anything within the Five Elements.

"If I want the 108 kinds of spiritual fire from Linglong Pavilion, can you give me a discount?"

The maid in green looked surprised and said, "Please wait a moment, sir. I will go and ask the Pavilion Master to come. It's such a big deal, I can't make the decision."

Jiang Chuan nodded and continued to look through the list of spiritual materials containing star power.

Before he could finish looking through the pages, a maid in green came over with a woman in a long dress.

The woman wore a golden hairpin on her head, had a dignified face, and her long skirt that dragged on the ground was embroidered with flowers.

"My name is Shang Lan, and I am the head of Linglong Pavilion in the Jiuyuan Imperial Capital. May I know your name?"

"My surname is Jiang."

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, my Linglong Pavilion has 108 kinds of spiritual fire, including the Five Elements True Fire, Purple Extreme Demon Fire and other famous divine fires."

Shang Lan paused, then continued, "If you really want it all, I'll give it to you at a lower price, eight million spirit stones."

"Eight million, this price is more than enough for me to buy a mid-grade Taoist weapon." Jiang Chuan closed the list in his hand.

Taoist tools of the same level can have vastly different prices due to their materials, sizes, and the number of engraved formations.

The low-grade Taoist weapon Wind and Thunder Fan that Jiangchuan saw in the Bodhi Temple was priced at two million spirit stones.

But this price is sold by Bodhi Temple to its own disciples, so it is somewhat favorable.

Most low-grade Taoist weapons like flying swords cost around three million spirit stones.

The price of alchemy furnaces and pagodas is higher because they have more formations engraved on them and are more powerful.

An average mid-grade Taoist flying sword would cost around six million.

Eight million spirit stones is an astronomical figure for most cultivators in the Qingyuan Realm!

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, things are valuable because they are rare."

Shang Lan smiled and said, "Mid-grade Dao weapons are not rare in the Qingyuan Realm. There are at least ten or eight chambers of commerce in the entire Jiuyuan Emperor that can produce mid-grade Dao weapons. But the only chamber of commerce that possesses 108 kinds of spiritual fire and the Five Elements True Fire is our Linglong Pavilion!"
