From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

That's not easy.

Correspondingly, if you can do this, then you are on the path towards a state where everything you do is a form of spiritual practice.

At that time.

"A mustard seed can contain Mount Sumeru; they are everywhere."

"Brother Jiang, have you reached this level already?" Lu Jin couldn't help but ask.

"Not at all. It's just that the innate effect saved me a lot of trouble." Jiang Liu smiled casually, then said to Xiao Yun and Xiao Yu, who were deep in thought, "Alright, that's all the guidance I've given you. It's late, time to rest. Sleeping is also a form of cultivation."

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled knowingly and returned to their rooms. Jiang Liu closed his eyes and fell asleep. His consciousness sank into his mind, and he sat cross-legged in meditation. His mind was protected by the Monkey King, guarded by the Horse of the Mind, harmonized by the Golden Lord, nurtured by the Wood Mother, and tamped by the Yellow Woman. Above the Nine Heavens, the Jade Emperor regulated his primordial spirit, and below the Nine Netherworlds, the Earth Goddess created Yin and Yang.

Even while resting, Jiang Liu's internal energy circulated throughout his body, and his cultivation continued uninterrupted. He maintained control over the intensity of his cultivation, causing his magnetic field to emanate spontaneously, influencing Lu Jin, Hong Guniang, Wang Yaozu, and others, causing them to quickly fall asleep.

Gao Huan, Xiao Yun, and Xiao Yu were tossing and turning, unable to sleep. But Jiang Liu had revealed their future cultivation path, and they all wanted to try it immediately. How could they fall asleep so quickly?

Under the influence of the river's magnetic field, all the distracting thoughts in my mind slowly dissipated, and I unconsciously yawned, quickly falling into a dream.

As for Miss Liu?

She was the second person to fall asleep after Jiang Liu, even earlier than Lu Jin, Hong Guniang, and others.

Without him.

It's just that Miss Liu has a carefree personality, you could even say she's oblivious. She eats when she's supposed to eat and sleeps when she's supposed to sleep, without any hesitation.

While Jiang Liu and his group slept soundly, some were restless.

The Taoist priests and monks in the Taoist temples and monasteries around Yuhang have been paying close attention to the activities of the Confucian Association. They thought that after Jiang Liu returned, things would be peaceful for a while, but they did not expect that the Confucian Association would make great strides. In particular, the news of the martial arts tournament has gradually spread, attracting some independent cultivators and small families to settle down in Yuhang.

Furthermore, the news that Jiang Liu intended to "give lectures on the Great Way" on a chosen day each month had already been spread by the Mingfei newspaper and had reached the entire city...

The Confucian Association is not just talking; they truly want to remove the mystique surrounding extraordinary people and abilities. They have also heard some news: Jiang Liu has created a "Foundation Building Method" that can improve aptitude. Even those without Qi cultivation aptitude can start practicing at age six, and by age twenty, their aptitude can be no different from that of ordinary people with Qi cultivation aptitude.

What is this for?

Should everyone be turned into an Outcast?

Although they couldn't interfere, they were still uneasy, so the monks Zhende, Mingxin, and Huili, along with Zhang Mingyuan, Li Xuanzi, and others, went to the Jade Emperor Palace to seek help.

"Yu Xiaozi, we would like to ask Master Qingwei to help us resolve our troubles," Zhende of Faxi Temple pleaded.

"My master is already quite old..."

Let them in.

Before Yu Xiaozi could finish speaking, a voice came from beside him. He quickly turned around and bowed respectfully, but there was no one behind him.

However, Zhang Mingyuan and the others also showed the respect due to juniors. Even the monks Zhende, Mingxin, and Huili showed respect towards the empty space.

This is because the Pure and Subtle True Man of the Jade Emperor Palace has already completed his cultivation of sexual energy, and can leap out of his physical body with a single thought, cultivating the True Yang Spirit and the exhilarating wind that travels a thousand miles!

#Chapter 419 A thought of Yang Shen appears

"Greetings, Master Qingwei!"

Zhende, Mingxin, Huili, Zhang Mingyuan, and Li Xuanzi followed Yuxiaozi through the corridor and across the courtyard to the back room, where they met a Taoist priest.

This Taoist priest was six feet tall, dressed in a dark blue Taoist robe, with a Hunyuan scarf on his head. He had a square face, drooping eyebrows, and a face full of wrinkles.

He is already over 100 years old.

The Taoist "True Man," the Confucian "Gentleman," and the Buddhist "Buddha" all belong to the same realm.

To be worthy of the title "True Person" means that Qingwei has already cultivated the Yang Spirit, and in terms of cultivation, he can be considered a senior among monks and Taoists.

"No need for formalities."

Master Qingwei smiled slightly, “I know why you have come, but as cultivators, it is enough to mind your own business. Why bother with the river and the Confucian Association? I have not been down the mountain for many years, but I know that because of them, the slums have been transformed and many people have found a way to survive.”

Although his methods were somewhat cruel, he never harmed any kind-hearted person.

“That may be true, but we are filled with fear.” Zhen De sighed, “If he continues like this, the destruction of Buddhism and Taoism may well happen again in the world.”

"Very well, then I'll go and meet him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Master Qingwei closed his eyes.

With a single thought, the Yang Spirit emerges, instantly covering a thousand miles.

Outside the courtyard of the Ghost Hand Wang Cai Opera Troupe, Master Qingwei was taken aback. He saw that in the darkness, there were countless rays of light and auspicious clouds, indicating that it was not a dangerous place, but a realm of immortals and Buddhas.

"This is Jiangliu!"

"Truly extraordinary!"

"It follows the path of the Neidan school, yet it is different. Is it a self-created method? Amazing! This level is beyond my reach. I just don't know what its state of mind is like... I'll go into the dream to find out."

Even the Venerable Qingwei, who had cultivated for a hundred years, became curious about Jiang Liu and entered Jiang Liu's mental landscape with a single thought.

Jiang Liu, who was cultivating within his mental landscape, sensed something and smiled slightly, saying, "Although there is no ill intent, it is not as simple as 'trespassing' to enter my mental landscape and try to uncover my secrets. You should go to the underworld and come back to explain to me."

With a single thought, Houtu Huangdiqi raised her left hand, and the Book of Life and Death appeared in her hand. The Mind Monkey, the Will Horse, the Metal Duke, the Wood Mother, the Yellow Woman, and the Five Internal Organs merged and returned to the central palace of the Qimen Dunjia. Within the primordial spirit, above the Nine Heavens, the Jade Emperor of the Golden Palace of Haotian sensed the fluctuations of Qingwei Zhenren's Yang spirit, connected with the outside world, and captured all information related to him. He then obtained the experiences of Qingwei Zhenren's entire life and passed them on to Houtu, where they appeared in the Book of Life and Death.

"Master Qingwei, whose original name was Lin Baozhi, was from Shaoxing, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. He lost his father at the age of six and his mother at the age of twelve. At the age of thirteen, he became a disciple of Quanzhen and cultivated at the Jade Emperor Palace in Yuhang. He devoted himself to cultivation and never married... He died peacefully at the age of one hundred and twenty. He is one hundred and nineteen years old this year."

As she recited the information from the Book of Life and Death, Houtu made a grasping motion with her right hand, and a judge's pen appeared. She drew ink from afar, circled the name, and said, "However, once you enter 'my' Three Realms, your life and death are determined by me."

Where are the Black and White Impermanence?

"Yes~"

The figures of the black woman and the white woman appeared, calling out weakly.

"Can't you two have some energy?" Houtu scolded, seeing the two yawning and looking completely listless.

“We’re not living people, so where would we get our energy and spirit?” the woman in white retorted.

"There's no one in the Three Realms, and the Five Gods don't play with us either. How boring!"

The woman in black lay on the ground, legs crossed, and suddenly said to Houtu, "Are you getting up now because you have time to play with us?"

"I'm busy."

Houtu immediately rejected the idea, saying, "However, since there is an extraterrestrial demon who has trespassed into the Three Realms, you should go and bring him to the Underworld for a good test."

"okay!"

The woman in black became interested, leaped up, grabbed the woman in white's hand, and hopped and skipped away in the direction Houtu indicated.

In this underworld, the two are even more "powerful," and with the addition of their spiritual abilities, they can fly through the sky, escape into the earth, and enter the sea with ease.

the other side.

When Qingwei Zhenren entered the Jiangliu Xinjing in the form of Yang Shen, he discovered that he came from a dark and hazy place, like the chaos before the creation of heaven and earth.

The inner vision of ordinary people is the same. However, what puzzled Qingwei was that since entering this place, his Yang spirit seemed to be imprisoned and could no longer roam freely as before. It was as if he was no longer in the state of Yang spirit, but a mortal body like in reality.

"This feeling is like a dream, a lucid dream."

Master Qingwei immediately realized that he was trapped and had been discovered by Jiang Liu. A sense of horror rose in his heart. "He can even capture my Yang Spirit? This is not an ability that can be achieved simply by having a high level of cultivation. One must have a great deal of knowledge about 'sex'. Could it be that his level of sexual cultivation is already comparable to my Yang Spirit of Quanzhen?"

With this thought in mind, Master Qingwei sighed and called out to the surroundings, "Young friend Jiang Liu, would you please appear and meet me?"

But no one responded.

Do not!

There was some response, though.

He heard laughter.

"So you're the extraterrestrial demon, aren't you?" The woman in black laughed wickedly, three points of black spiritual light appearing in her hand, spinning into a ring, and a black chain was created out of thin air, winding away like a serpent.

The woman in white followed closely behind, also unleashing a white chain that swept towards Master Qingwei.

Master Qingwei's expression changed. He wanted to ascend to heaven in an instant, but suddenly realized that in this place, his Yang spirit was no different from his mortal body. He could mobilize Qi just like his physical body, but what was his meager cultivation compared to the two Black and White Impermanence who possessed "divine power"?

The moment the black and white chains bound Qingwei Daoist, his Yang spirit could no longer move, as if he had been frozen in place.

"Come with us to the underworld! Hehehe!" The black-clad woman laughed, and together with the white-clad woman, they pulled Qingwei Zhenren into the air and headed towards the underworld.

Peeling away the gray mist, one could see a sea of ​​lava and fire, with magma bubbles rising from it. The moment they burst, pillars of fire, tens of meters wide, shot up, scorching hot.

The woman in black and white ignored the intense heat, yet it made Qingwei Zhenren's mouth dry—

He was not a sorcerer, but he knew how to introspect and enter the inner realm, and he also knew how to walk in the inner realm of others. However, he had never heard of an inner realm as strange as Jiang Liu's.

After all, he was now a Yang God, with pure thoughts, and he knew that this place was the inner landscape of the river, so he should be able to come and go freely without being troubled.

However, he was bound by the Black and White Impermanence in Jiang Liu's "dream" and could not move. Moreover, the scorching heat of the hellish lava was truly transmitted to him, making him feel as if he was having a lucid dream that he could not wake up from no matter what.

at the moment.

Qingwei Daoist could only take it one step at a time.

After passing through the sea of ​​lava and fire, a series of palaces and towers appeared ahead, with lights flashing and neon lights shining, but they were deserted and without a trace of human habitation.

Passing through numerous palaces and flying over towering buildings, Master Qingwei was led by the black-and-white woman to a magnificent and imposing palace.

Master Qingwei looked up and saw four large, elegant characters that read "Jiuhua Jade Palace," which seemed to be hidden among the stars, mysterious and unfathomable.

"Go in!"

Before he could even get a good look, he was dragged into the palace by the woman in black and white...

# Chapter 420 Why didn't you say so sooner?

Upon entering the palace, it was indeed luxurious; one could see:

A myriad of rays of light roll up like crimson rainbows, while a thousand streaks of auspicious air surge like purple mist.

On the left wall, a dragon coils around a pillar, radiating dazzling light; on the right wall, a golden phoenix circles amidst colorful clouds.

At the very center of the throne, there was a table, behind which sat a woman dressed in a brocade skirt with mountains and rivers, wearing a twelve-tassel imperial crown. In her left hand she held a scroll with the words "Book of Life and Death" written on it; in her right hand she held a judge's pen, making corrections and alterations on it.

She had a dignified expression and was exceptionally beautiful.

It is none other than Houtu Huangdiqi.
