Chat group, starting from the Infinite Terror God Space

Wang Qi felt a mysterious connection between his internal organs, his nine orifices, and the heavens above and the earth below. The stars, the sun, the golden crow, and the chaotic phenomena that emerged within his body's orifices began to resonate with the true power of the stars, the true fire of the sun, and the origin of the void and chaos.

With each breath, one can resonate with the natural order of heaven and earth, and resonate with all realms.

Having overcome all tribulations and broken all shackles, Wang Qi made a smooth breakthrough, ascending to the heavens in one step and officially stepping into the Outer Realm.

……

Back at his residence, Wang Qi sat cross-legged on a futon, raised his hand again, took out an ancient jade slip, and slowly probed it with his divine sense.

This is the external version of the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques".

The jade slip not only records the complete cultivation method exclusive to the Outer Realm, but also, relying on the two fundamental characteristics of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts—physical sainthood and ever-changing transformations—it gives rise to two supreme divine abilities comparable to one's innate divine power.

Firstly, it originates from the foundation of physical sainthood, enabling one to cultivate the Dharma of Heaven and Earth, and to have three heads and six arms. In the Outer Realm stage, one can condense a Dharma form with two heads and four arms, initially possessing divine power.

Secondly, it originates from the true essence of ever-changing transformations, and can cultivate the way of the transformations of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends. Upon entering the outer realm, one can freely transform into all kinds of living beings and the appearances of all the heavens.

The jade slip clearly records that one can formally comprehend the two great supernatural powers, Dharma Body and Three Heads and Six Arms, in the Outer Realm chapter. However, since one has not yet reached the Dharma Body level, one cannot fully unleash the earth-shattering Dharma Body, and the Three Heads and Six Arms can only be condensed into a rudimentary form of two heads and four arms. One will complete it when one's realm advances in the future.

Wang Qi calmed his mind and focused his spirit, placing his hands in a mudra in front of his chest, and the external version of the "Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques" circulated within his body on its own.

The strange Dao energy wandering between heaven and earth, and the true meaning of thunder and fire remaining after the calamity, were all enveloped and absorbed by the ever-changing true energy of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, flowing into one's own inner landscape and merging into the various small worlds derived from the acupoints around the body.

The sun, stars, mountains, and earth within the Lesser Thousand Worlds became increasingly solid and lifelike under the nourishment of the alien true meaning; his inner landscape Dharma image also gradually solidified and refined, and his cultivation foundation steadily increased silently.

As strands of profound meaning flowed into his mind and spiritual foundation, his understanding of the ever-changing essence of the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts deepened and became more thorough.

With a single step into the outer realm, Wang Qi's cultivation path was completely set, and his inner realm was adjusted to perfection.

From now on, the path to cultivation in the first three heavens of the outer realm is smooth and unobstructed. Apart from a minor hurdle before reaching the first level of the heavenly ladder, there are no other hard bottlenecks or obstacles. One only needs to focus on refining one's acupoints and spiritual form, nurturing one's inner world, and absorbing the Daoist essence of all heavens to proceed smoothly and steadily ascend.

During his quiet meditation, Wang Qi couldn't help but ponder: What exactly is the realm of the Outer Realm? And how is this level of separation between heaven and man defined?

The description from the original work involuntarily surfaced in his mind; it was the annotation left by Meng Qi when he witnessed the Qi cultivator's manifestation at the Myriad Manifestations Cave Heaven:

"My heaven and earth are transformed into the outer universe, which is the manifestation of the inner landscape, the path of cultivating qi."

"Therefore, when I have wind, the heavens and earth have wind!"

"Therefore, when I have clouds, the heavens and earth will also have clouds!"

"Therefore, if I possess thunder, then heaven and earth will possess thunder!"

"Therefore, when I bring rain, the heavens and earth will also bring rain!"

"Therefore, if I desire sunshine, the world will become sunny!"

"This is the inner world of a martial artist who has reached the divine level."

"This is the manifestation of inner scenery!"

Wind, rain, thunder, lightning, and the weather of the four seasons are all determined by a single thought.

This passage is the most fitting explanation of the wondrous nature of the Outer Realm. If the Outer Realm were merely a matter of brute force compared to the Nine Apertures, it would not be worthy of the phrase "the difference between heaven and man."

From the moment they entered the Outer Realm, their cultivation had already stepped into the true level of immortals and heroes. With a wave of their hand, thunder followed; with a swing of their sword, raging fire raged across the land; when the strong clashed, the earth would be scorched for thousands of miles; and when they fought in anger, they could cause floods to spread.

Even more mysteriously, due to the different foundations of their inner world and the different cultivation methods, the laws of heaven and earth that cultivators can weave and communicate with are also completely different. Some top geniuses can even touch the threads of cause and effect in the beginning, and manipulate the flow of time and change in a rudimentary way, and unleash all kinds of incredible supreme means. For example, supreme treasures such as the "Primordial Golden Chapter" and the "Heavenly Emperor Jade Book" contain such profound mysteries of the Great Dao.

The outer realm is divided into nine levels, with a huge threshold every three levels, which people call the three heavenly ladders. Crossing each heavenly ladder is an ultimate qualitative change in one's life level.

The first Heavenly Ladder is where the Dharma form and the principles of heaven and earth intertwine and merge, moving from illusion to reality. The physical body awakens various incredible phenomena, giving rise to innate supernatural powers. Reaching this realm makes one a peerless master in the world.

The second Heavenly Ladder allows the inner landscape to evolve on its own, flesh and blood to become spiritual, and formless and intangible laws and principles to intertwine and settle along the foundation of the Dao, condensing into a physical entity and merging into the origin of the Dharma form. One begins to wield the power of a region of heaven and earth. Crossing this step means becoming a martial arts grandmaster.

The third Heavenly Ladder is the stage of perfect Dharma Form, where the primordial spirit and Dharma Form begin to merge, and then unite with the physical body's energy. Standing in this realm, one is called a Grandmaster.

When the primordial spirit, Dharma form, and physical body are completely integrated and unified, the principles of Dharma are internalized in the heart, and the inner landscape evolves towards the true world, thus opening the path of cultivation that forms its own world, it is the beginning of transcending the external landscape and stepping into the Dharma body.

This transformation process subtly contains the profound meaning of the Taoist concept of the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top.

The "Three Flowers" mentioned in Taoist internal alchemy refer to the flowers of the three treasures: essence, qi, and spirit.

The Flower of Qi is the Dharma form forged through cultivation. Depending on the origin of the cultivation method and the understanding of the Great Dao, the power of the Dharma condenses into countless Dharma forms, which is called the Dharma having a primordial spirit.

The Flower of God is the primordial spirit nurtured and refined in the ancestral aperture between the eyebrows. Since the beginning of inner cultivation, this path of refining the primordial spirit has never stopped.

The flower of essence is the physical body that forms the foundation of all laws. At this point, all acupoints are opened and all meridians are unblocked, making the physical body as powerful as a spiritual treasure.

The essence of the entire realm of the external landscape is the complete process of gathering the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit, and then allowing the three flowers to merge into one and settle the foundation of the Dao.

Having thoroughly understood the true meaning of the external landscape, Wang Qi no longer had any distracting thoughts. Instead, he opened the "Void Scripture" to study the subsequent texts, while using the "Taiyin Taiyang Mother Scripture" (Shengtai Volume) as a reference for mutual verification. He took the opportunity to rebuild his own Shengtai realm, deliberately avoiding the shackles of being trapped in the single path of the Void Emperor, and instead embracing diverse influences to broaden his path on the Great Dao.

……

A few days later, Wang Qi closed his eyes, and with a slight thought, the virtual light screen of the Multiverse Chat Group immediately appeared in front of him, with flowing light and shadow and a clear interface.

With a thought, Wang Qi uploaded all three supreme scriptures to the group file:

The Eight-Nine Arcane Arts (Complete Text from the Qi Accumulation Stage to the Dharma Body Immortal Realm)

The Void Scripture (from the second level of the Immortal Realm to the sixth level of the Great Sacred Realm of the Immortal Realm)

The complete text of the Sendai volume of the Taiyin Taiyang Mu Jing (Scripture of the Mother of the Moon and the Sun).

Opening the group files, as expected, Chen Nan had already uploaded the "Summoning Demon Scripture," and the group also had several top-tier martial arts techniques: Divine Void Step, Heavenly Demon Eight Steps, Dragon Capture Hand, Heaven Annihilation Hand, God-Trapping Finger, and the Seven Demon Blades Against Heaven.

In addition, there is the Wind God Leg, one of the three martial arts techniques that Nie Feng learned from Xiong Ba in the world of Feng Yun. It contains the supreme mystery of Feng Wuxiang, but it is missing the last move and is not yet perfect.

Wang Qi casually browsed through the group's past chat history. Nothing major had happened; the group was currently bustling with activity.

[Zhang Chulan: Brother Feng, let's just go straight to the Lingyun Cave dungeon! What's there to hesitate about? With your current cultivation level, you can easily crush it.]

[Lu Mingfei: Indeed, if you were to challenge a surviving Xiong Ba, you'd have to be wary of his innate destiny and luck, and you might even suffer an unexpected defeat. But Lingyun Cave is really just a place you can wander around at will.]

[Nie Feng: It's not that I'm cowardly or hesitant, but I have some concerns. A fire qilin lurks within Lingyun Cave, and I'm not entirely confident I can suppress it. Even if I manage to defeat it by chance, once I'm tainted with the qilin's blood, I fear inner demons might arise, causing me to fall into demonic possession like in the original story—a loss that outweighs the gain.]
