I forge immortality with spiritual treasures.

Chapter 91 Tai Yao True Fire Technique

First came the gods and demons, then the deities.

In the earliest times, people placed their hopes on gods and demons, sincerely worshipping and praying for protection. Perhaps some of these early people received the protection of gods and demons, and thus developed tribes and clans...

Such an epic tale of the primordial era may only have been passed down within Taoist sects.

Ying Chan asked, "Then, could it be that the Crimson Bright Supreme God Venerable is...?"

The Southern Daoist did not answer directly, but only said: "It is now believed that the Crimson Bright Taiyao God Venerable should be one of the earliest gods worshipped by the ancestors of the human race."

"In ancient times, it may have had names such as Sun God, Sun Lord, Heavenly Emperor, Lord of the Central Heaven, etc., and the tribes and clans that worshipped it were countless..."

"As for why the Dao spread throughout the world and why it transformed into a guardian deity of my Daoist school, that remains to be investigated."

We should listen carefully, only regretting that we cannot travel through time to return to the beginning of history and hear the secrets.

"All right."

At this moment, the Southern Taoist had led Ying Chan to a small hall and pushed open the door to enter.

The hall was lit with candles, making it as bright as daylight.

Therefore, Ying Chan was able to see clearly that there were many bookshelves in the hall, all filled with books and scrolls, but he didn't know what kind of books they were.

The Southern Taoist took one of the scrolls and handed it to Ying Chan.

Ying Chan took it and examined it closely. He saw that the scroll was titled "The Divine Portrait of the Sun God - Copy".

He was somewhat puzzled and asked, "May I ask, Master, what is the meaning of this?"

"As I told you before, the Crimson Bright Taiyao God has many divine names and many incarnations."

The Taoist priest said, "This is the scroll depicting the divine image of the deity when he manifested as the 'Sun Lord'."

"Take it. This scroll will come in handy when you contemplate the divine image of the Sun God."

"Visualization?"

Ying Chan nodded thoughtfully: "Yes, thank you for your kindness, Master."

"This wasn't given to you by me."

The Southern Taoist said with a half-smile, "You are new to Chiming Mountain and that's why you have such good fortune."

"If you still cannot visualize this scroll and wish to obtain another one, you can exchange it for your Dao merits."

"I see……"

Afterwards, Ying Chan followed the Taoist priest to another small hall to register his name.

In this way, he can be considered to have received the inheritance of Chiming Mountain.

In fact, the various lineages within the Immortal Abode are all ordinary; as long as one can pass the test, one can receive the inheritance. Therefore, the disciples of this sect have all explored various methods to varying degrees.

It is precisely because of this that our sect has produced a great number of talented individuals, and there are always people who can innovate and bring forth new ideas, so that all the major lineages can continue to thrive and accumulate their brilliance.

This is something that Ying Chan has only gradually come to understand over the past ten days or so.

After registering his name at Chiming Mountain, Ying Chancai followed the Southern Taoist to a quiet room where the formal teaching of the Dharma began.

"Should be explained."

The Taoist priest said, "You should know that there is always a limit to the number of spiritual opportunities in this world."

"The spiritual energy we can gather during our usual practice is only one in a thousand or ten thousand."

"Yes."

It should be understood that nature knows these common sense things, such as spiritual essence and stalactite, which are, in the final analysis, rare spiritual opportunities that are difficult to capture in ordinary times.

The Southern Taoist then asked, "Do you know what method is available if one wishes to obtain a certain special spiritual energy for use?"

"Having grasped some kind of special inspiration?"

Ying Chan seemed to be thinking, "Visualization?"

“Exactly.” Master Nan smiled slightly: “The first step in cultivating the ‘Crimson Bright Taiyao Innate Divine Light’ is to refine the ‘Taiyao True Fire’.”

"To refine the Taiyao True Fire, the first step is to visualize the divine image of the Sun Lord, borrow the divine power of the Sun Lord, and seize the spiritual essence of the Taiyao from the distant sun, then combine it with the essence of Bing Fire for refining..."

The Crimson Brightness Primordial Divine Light, the Great Dao technique that he had longed for, finally opened its doors to him.

Ying Chan listened intently, afraid of missing a single word, and the outline in his mind gradually became complete. The Southern Daoist carefully explained the method of refining the Taiyao True Fire, and then asked, "Do you know why there is a test called Yangguan Road when entering Chiming Mountain?"

"Disciple doesn't know."

"That is because, during the process of cultivating the Taiyao True Fire, it is as if the Great Sun True Fire is burning your body at every moment."

"Whether you have profound cultivation, deep mastery of fire magic, or amazing talent... even if you have an innate fire virtue body and are not afraid of any true fire interference, only by withstanding this test can you hope to cultivate the Taiyao True Fire."

"Although you have passed this test, you still cannot be careless in the slightest during your cultivation."

"Yes," Ying Chan hurriedly replied, "This disciple will follow the teachings of my master."

The Southern Daoist nodded and asked, "Is there anything you don't understand about the cultivation method of the Taiyao True Fire?"

Ying Chan thought about it carefully and said, "There is nothing I cannot understand."

"Oh?" The Southern Daoist was somewhat surprised. "Is this really true?"

"This disciple dares not speak presumptuously."

The man from the south smiled wryly.

Although he had only mastered the Taiyao True Fire and entered the realm of the Crimson Bright Taiyao Innate Divine Light, this did not mean that the Taiyao True Fire was shallow.

Even taken out of context, this True Fire is already a profound spell. If Ying Chanzhen could understand it in one go, then he could be considered to have exceptional comprehension.

"In that case..."

He stroked his short beard and said slowly, "Come to Chiming Mountain again after you have successfully refined the true fire and filled the 'magic aperture' with it."

"Yes," Ying Chan hurriedly replied, "Thank you, Master, for transmitting the Dharma."

"Go."

Ying Chanli bid farewell to the Southern Taoist and left the quiet room; it was already night outside.

Today the sky is clear and the clouds are sparse, revealing a dazzling array of stars, with the Milky Way hanging upside down in the sky, a truly magnificent sight.

To enter Chiming Mountain, if one does not take the Yangguan Road, one needs the Taiyao True Fire as a guide, but leaving is not an obstacle.

Therefore, after gazing at the Milky Way for a moment, Ying Chan felt a surge of pride and wanted to ride the wind and escape into it.

But as soon as he took flight, he caught a glimpse of a figure below the Yangguan Road.

Ying Chan's eyebrows twitched slightly. He descended on the wind and saw that the figure under Yangguan Road was indeed Yun Youfeng.

"Junior Brother Ying!"

Yun Youfeng saw Ying Chan flying over and was invigorated. Just as he called out, he suddenly saw Ying Chan's feathered robes fluttering, like a streak of red light, and his heart was instantly shaken.

"Senior Brother Yun." Ying Chan landed and cupped his hands in greeting, "Why are you still here, Senior Brother?"

"I've been waiting for you right here..."

Yun Youfeng composed himself and said, "I escaped through Yangguan Road, but I didn't see my junior brother. I guess you crossed Yangguan Road."

"Now that I see this crimson feather robe, I know that my prediction was indeed correct."

"I see." Ying Chan said, "Then, Senior Brother, you were waiting for me here specifically?"

"Exactly." Yun Youfeng said, still somewhat embarrassed: "I even gave my junior brother some pointers; I was truly blind..."

Just as Ying Chan was about to speak, he quickly waved his hand and said, "Junior brother, there's no need for such modesty. In any case, you've already crossed the Yangguan Pass. I only have one request."

"Junior brother, could you please enlighten me on how you crossed the Yangguan Pass?"

"This……"

Ying Chancai had heard Master Nanzu say that there was actually no trickery involved in passing through the Yangguan Pass.

Although his cultivation level was not high, his mastery of fire magic was not profound, and he was not a fire-virtue body, he managed to subdue the true fire for his own use by skillfully controlling his magic power, which can be considered as passing the test honorably.

Therefore, after pondering for a long time, he could only say, "If you want to cross the Yangguan Pass, the only way is to increase your cultivation and improve your fire techniques."

"what?"

Yun Youfeng was stunned for a moment before smiling bitterly and saying, "I knew it..."
