Chapter 516 The First Person
Time flies.
Several years later.
Sanqingshan.
Down the mountain, the population was even larger, and a small sect had even formed, relying on Ye Zhuo. They revered the "Three Green Immortals" as their patriarch and built a small temple, with a snow-white clouded leopard serving as their guardian beast. This was naturally due to the increasingly chaotic world, with a small number of people gathering under Ye Zhuo's protection.
Ye Zhuo also began to "pass on his skills" and moved his family over, thus forming the structure of a sect...
Interior location.
The water in the Ji River ripples, separating the clear from the turbid.
The rich, shimmering waters of the Ji River shone brightly and shone with a myriad of colors.
Unless one has achieved mastery in cultivating their inner realm, it is impossible to connect one's own inner realm with the "Inner Realm" and then arrive here to observe the Daoist principles. The distance one can explore within the "Inner Realm" is the most convenient and quickest standard for distinguishing between the inner realm, the outer realm, and the various minor realms. This day...
A figure suddenly appeared at the very edge of the interior space.
He was a thin-looking old Taoist priest wearing a purple robe!
"this……
Nan Xuanzi cultivated in Shenghai for many years and found several spiritual treasures of heaven and earth. After consuming them, his power greatly increased. Recently, he finally harmonized the dragon and tiger, and the water and fire elements, opening up the Ren and Du meridians and achieving the state of embryonic breathing. Subsequently, he opened his inner vision. After opening his own inner vision, his mind was empty and he felt that his inner vision was faintly connected to a larger place.
Following this connection, a wisp of consciousness arrived in the inner landscape.
"The great path lies ahead!"
This "inner landscape" was filled with Taoist charm. After observing it for only a short while, he gained a completely new understanding of the many mistakes and shortcomings in his previous cultivation. In fact, without any instruction, information about the "inner landscape," the "inner landscape," and even how to cultivate the "outer landscape" naturally arose in his mind.
"Those who possess external vision have reached the pinnacle of their inner vision, their divine power overflowing... They can fly through the air, control wind and thunder, and summon wind and rain..."
"This is simply divine intervention..."
"Outer realm cultivators live for two hundred years... If they can delve into the inner realm and acquire supernatural powers, they can live for five hundred years... Could this be the celestial being described in the classics?" As he comprehended the descriptions of various great realms, Kai Xuanzi unconsciously compared them with his own Daoist scriptures.
"In today's world, those who have mastered the Transformation Realm can no longer be called grandmasters... Those who do not cultivate the True Power are ultimately nothing more than ants."
"And once you truly master the basics, you will possess boundless power... By mastering the twelve meridians, you can rival even the grandmasters and great grandmasters of the past... That Feng Quanxing, who only cultivated the eight extraordinary meridians, dared to enter the palace to assassinate the emperor, and what's more, he succeeded!" "As for the inner and outer realms... those are even more like immortal techniques."
"And there are celestial beings who have attained supernatural powers... Could it be that the one who shook the world and annihilated the ironclad fleet with a flick of his finger was a 'celestial being'?" Nan Xuanzi's mind raced with these thoughts. Ultimately, his strength was limited, and after comprehending the Dao, his consciousness teetered on the brink of collapse, eventually disappearing from his inner realm. He remained completely unaware that Fang Qing had been standing beside him the entire time, gazing at him with a quiet, unwavering gaze.
The "Interior Scenery" is Fang Qing's own interior, and he has the ability to control everything.
The old Taoist priest's wisp of consciousness entered this place, essentially placing his life, death, and memories entirely under the watchful eye of a Purple Mansion True Person. "The Dao Xuan Sect?"
"Rebels? The Bureau of Strange Tales? How interesting..."
Fang Qing murmured.
From this experienced man's memories, he learned about many recent major events, even high-level secrets.
This is a level of insight and knowledge that even Ye Zhuo, a former herb-gathering boy, rarely possesses.
"This Dao Xuan Sect... is based on the Taoism of this world, and its highest leader is the 'Celestial Master'... Although Lang Xuan is not the Celestial Master, he has still obtained the title of the Three Mountains General Sect... so he is considered a high-ranking member, and his cultivation speed is extremely fast. Moreover, he has the support of a sect that collects all kinds of spiritual items from the Ji River for him..."
"And then there's Feng Quanxing... who actually opened a 'Dragon and Tiger Club'? Branches are all over the provinces, and relying on their fame from assassinating the emperor, they're doing incredibly well..." "The Great Zhou... the Great Zhou is long gone. Now the world is in chaos, warlords are rising up everywhere, and sects are carving up the land... martial artists are in their prime." "As for Shenghai? It has become a battleground. Even those foreigners, after several assassinations of their high-ranking officials, were completely terrified and established the 'Western Extremity Religion,' completely orientalizing themselves, and then came to learn the way of malevolence? I feel like I've single-handedly led the whole world astray?"
Fang Qing touched his forehead, somewhat speechless, sensing the coming of an even greater chaotic era.
He thought about it again and felt it would be better to inform Xiaobai and bring Fang Leiyue and other relatives from his previous life to Sanqingshan for refuge.
There's no need for them to publicly acknowledge each other; they'll just be placed under Ye Zhuo's command to earn a living.
Presumably, given Xiaobai's current status as a guardian beast of the mountain, it has the face to back it up.
"The interior scenery... is truly wondrous."
A secret room.
When Kai Xuanzi emerged from seclusion, he appeared much younger, exuding an air of otherworldly grace.
"Has the Taoist priest emerged from seclusion?"
Several young Taoist disciples who were serving him quickly bowed, and then one of them withdrew.
Before long, Celestial Master Zhang Cunren arrived: "Chief Instructor...you...have succeeded?"
His eyes shone, and he seemed slightly excited.
"Excellent! The Ren and Du meridians are now open, thus achieving embryonic breathing...opening the inner landscape!"
Nan Xuanzi laughed, "The inner realm is where the human body's consciousness resides, bizarre and ever-changing... If one can connect with the 'inner realm,' that would be a great fortune." "Haha, it's good that the head instructor has broken through. Is it really that miraculous?"
Zhang Cunren was somewhat surprised.
"Naturally... we'll know once the Celestial Master breaks through and enters the realm."
Yu Xuanzi sighed softly, "I wonder if we can see that Master Feng in the Inner Realm... This time, our people snatched that spiritual item in Shenghai, which has completely cemented our feud with the Dragon Tiger Guild... I think this person broke through to the Inner Realm in just a few days."
Thinking about this, he still felt a little sad.
Back then, when he looked at this disciple personally taught by the White-Headed Lion, the dragon among the two dragons and tigers, he still treated him like a senior looking at a junior.
If I am serious, I will surely be able to defeat this person.
But now, the opponent's cultivation level is truly catching up with his own.
"Hmph... Spiritual objects are precious, so naturally they must be treated this way. Even if Feng Quanxing comes to kill us, my Dao Xuan Sect will not be afraid of him..."
Zhang Cunren smiled, then a subtle emotion appeared on his face: "Today, another high-level master has attempted to break through the Yin Wei Meridian and enter the Qi Transformation stage..." "The Eight Extraordinary Meridians are all difficult to traverse."
Nan Xuanzi sighed, "How is the person?"
"Just like my fellow disciples Qi and Yuan...sigh..."
Even this contemporary Celestial Master couldn't help but sigh: "The steam from the Ji River, though it can grant immortality, can also send one to hell..." "In that case, this old Taoist will also go and take a look... Once inside, one can cast spells with a wave of the hand, I wonder if I can pull some back..."
Lang Xuanzi remained silent for a moment, then walked out of the secret chamber with the Celestial Master.
The Dao Xuan Sect occupies a vast area. As the two walked past a dining hall, they saw the aroma of meat wafting from it.
Several young Taoist practitioners, already sniffling, couldn't help but say, "We're having monster meat again today..."
"Hmm, eating the flesh of such demonic beasts is very beneficial for refining one's martial arts... Perhaps in a few days, I'll be able to open up another meridian..." "It's strange, though, there are so few spiritual creatures in the Ji River, but quite a few demonic beasts..."
The unconscious chatter of the young Daoist disciples caused Kai Xuanzi's expression to darken.
Even though the spiritual atmosphere had persisted for many years, and spiritual items were produced throughout the land, most were single-use consumables like spiritual water or minerals. The owner of the Dragon Tiger Guild once obtained a spiritual root that could continuously produce spiritual resources, even attracting the covetous eyes of the Great Zhou Emperor. This led to Feng Quanxing's enraged attack on the palace, attempting to assassinate the king…
Without consuming the spiritual substances of the Jishui River, the cultivation of the Jishui True Knowledge would naturally be slower. However, if supplemented with the meat of various exotic beasts, the effect would be only slightly less than consuming the spiritual substances. Roar!
Two Dao Xuan Sect masters swept past the dining hall and arrived at the back mountain, where faint roars of beasts could be heard.
Nan Xuanzi arrived at a cave and saw two Taoist priests in purple robes guarding the cave. They also appeared to be cultivators of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians.
The roars could be faintly heard from inside the cave, clearly indicating that the strange beast was being imprisoned there.
Nan Xuanzi sighed and walked into the cave.
Before long, they arrived at a prison cell.
The steel fence was worn and twisted... and inside the fence was a strange beast!
It resembles a leopard but has a human head, with streams of water flowing around its body, seemingly repairing the flesh that was just cut off.
The face on that head seemed vaguely familiar to Fan Xuanzi.
He made a hand seal, and a spell descended from within his inner vision.
The leopard hesitated for a moment, then finally began to roar at him again...
"No... Zhenxi has gone mad and seems to have truly turned into a beast, with no humanity left."
Kai Xuanzi sighed.
High-level cultivators of the Jishui Xigong generally die of natural causes, but if their cultivation is even more profound and they suffer a qi deviation, they often transform into various demonic beasts. The Daoxuan Sect, after paying a heavy price to slay these demonic beasts, discovered the wondrous uses of their flesh; the entire process was filled with darkness and bloodshed. "How…"
When the Celestial Master saw Kai Xuanzi come out, he asked him with great anticipation.
No...
Nan Xuanzi sighed, "I think we should send our junior brother on his way..."
"Alas, if it were any other time, it would be fine... But now, in this era of great strife, I've heard that the Dragon Tiger Guild has even established three thousand 'Blood Alliance Guards,' each one a true master..." The Celestial Master said wistfully, "If we don't use this method, the Dragon Tiger Guild might just wipe out the Dao Xuan Sect in the future... And the Western Extreme Sect, I've heard they even deliberately frame people, causing them to go mad and turn into demonic beasts..." At this point, even Kai Xuanzi could only sigh.
The underlying nature of the practice of breath control is bloodshed.
Lower cultivation often provides the vital energy and breakthrough pills for higher cultivation...
The fall of a superior cultivator is a feast of whale fall, enough to sustain countless inferior cultivators and lineages...
