Chapter 1017 Four Steps King
The True Immortal Realm, somewhere in the Beichen Immortal Realm.
A group of six-winged purple-maned lions are swimming leisurely.
When this group reaches adulthood, they become Mahayana wild beasts. Among them, the kings can even fight with immortals, and their strength is extraordinary.
Hurrah!
Suddenly, a blizzard appeared in the distance.
Wherever the blizzard passed, the ground froze, and some wild beasts that had no time to escape suddenly turned into lifelike ice sculptures.
“Ho ho!”
The six-winged purple-maned lions roared, activating the vitality of the world and transforming into tides, preparing to resist natural disasters.
At this moment, deep in the pride of lions, the lion king with the brightest hair and a purple flame mark on his forehead roared angrily. He looked into the depths of the blizzard, with a hint of fear, and suddenly roared loudly.
A group of six-winged purple-maned lions immediately made way for a passage, allowing the blizzard to pass through their territory.
In the depths of the blizzard, there seemed to be a palace faintly disappearing.
The lion king who has reached the fairy beast stage can feel that the palace is not easy to mess with, and decisively follows the guidance of his heart.
It looks like a palace made of ice crystals.
Fang Xi was dressed in a yellow robe and looked down through the window.
“Fellow Taoist, are you looking at those six-winged purple-maned lions?”
An Earth Immortal who looked like a young man came over, holding an ordinary wooden staff in his hand and with a circle of green light around him.
It is none other than the former master of Fengyuan Zhai—Yu Xiu!
This time when we went to the Ten Thousand Immortals Festival, Fengyuanzhai was full of elites. Not only was the old owner of the Earthly Immortal Hall personally leading the team, but there were also nine immortals in total including Fang Xi and Xu Qing.
Of course, how many of these are external incarnations is a matter of opinion.
With so many immortals gathered together, and the war immortal weapon ‘Ice and Snow Palace’ built by Fengyuanzhai, it is no wonder that the six-winged purple-maned lion king did not dare to face the edge.
The laws of void in the fairy world are extremely powerful and cover an extremely wide area, and most of the teleportation formations are flashy.
The immortal's main means of traveling is to fly away honestly.
"It's...that lion king, I'm afraid he has a wisp of 'Purple Beast Fire' in his body... If we can obtain its original fire, it should be of great help in refining alchemy and refining weapons."
Fang Xi’s eyes flashed and she chuckled.
“It’s a pity that Alchemist Zhang has already refined a ray of heaven and earth spiritual fire. This ‘Purple Beast Fire’ is probably not suitable for use. Moreover, the gathering of ten thousand immortals is important now, so it is not appropriate to cause too many troubles..."
Yu Xiu is somewhat regretful and authentic.
Alchemist Zhang is the only true immortal level alchemist in Fengyuanzhai, and his status is extremely respected.
This time, I came with everyone.
"I heard that fellow Taoist is going to buy a 'Yuanshen Pill' for my disciples... If there is any shortage of immortal jade, please feel free to ask. I still have some personal savings." Yu Xiu's eyes seemed to pass through many palaces and he saw that he was in a cave. Fang Xian, who was meditating, said: "This disciple, Taoist friend, seems to be as talented as Dugu Fang..."
This grand gathering was a rare opportunity to broaden her horizons. Fang Xi saw that Fang Xian had been practicing hard and seemed a little miserable, so she took little Fang Xian there with her.
“Xiao Fang’s qualifications as an immortal are far inferior to those of Dugu Fang. What’s more, he is following the path of an earthly immortal, not a heavenly immortal…”
Fang Xi shook his head and didn't say much.
After all, Yu Xiu was a hero, but ended up suffering from Dugu Fang. It’s better not to mention this kind of slap in the face too much.
“Yes, earthly immortals are good. If you become a heavenly immortal, your heart will be high. Fengyuanzhai cannot accommodate such a giant Buddha.”
Yu Xiu sighed.
Fang Xi silently moved his soul, looked at the Hunyuan Immortal Barrel in his soul, and said nothing.
Now, he is actually almost an immortal.
After a moment, he said: "I have some belongings. If there is any shortage of immortal jade at the auction, I will definitely tell my fellow Taoist..."
“That’s very good.”
Yu Xiu nodded with a smile and came to a palace with Fang Xi.
In this palace, several rows of musicians are playing music, and a large number of goddesses are dancing gracefully in thin veils.
Xu Qing drank and had fun with several immortals, occasionally talking about some spiritual insights, and was very happy and carefree.
“Brother Yu Dao, Fellow Daoist Fang…”
When Xu Qing and other immortals saw Fang Xi and the other two, they couldn't help but smile: "We are talking about the way of cultivation. Just now, Master Zhang gave a high-level talk about cultivation like alchemy. It was really exquisite... It's a pity that you two haven't heard about it."
Fang Xi looked over and saw Master Zhang, who was dressed in a black soap robe, had a childlike face and fair hair, and had a faint aura of herbal medicine. He was stroking his beard and smiling.
“Cultivation of immortality and various arts, in the end, there are indeed different paths to the same goal, such as the way of Talisman Weapons, the Way of Alchemy Weapons… in the final analysis, they are all about enlightenment.”
Fang Xi felt it and spoke out.
Immortal Xu Qing sighed a little. The immortals here, apart from the gods and ghosts who have no hope of attaining the Dao, can actually become immortals and have a strong desire to seek the Dao.
Seeing this atmosphere, Yu Xiu smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist Fang must have some high opinions?"
“I have been drawing a lot of talismans recently. After I became an immortal, I started to study the art of formations by analogy, and I just spoke out of my feelings..."
Fang Xi sat down casually and said some thoughts.
Xu Qing and other immortals were fascinated by what they heard: "It is indeed wonderful to enter the Tao through talismans and formations, but it is a pity that it is extremely difficult and requires too high a talent level..."
Yu Xiu saw this scene, and continued Fang Xi's words, talking about how to reach the pass of the Tao after reaching the peak of cultivation in the True Immortal Realm.
Although everyone has not reached the peak of immortal cultivation, they are all paying attention to this. Their eyes suddenly lit up and they listened carefully.
In terms of cultivation, Yu Xiu is at the forefront of everyone, and even has a glimmer of hope of joining the path!
Of course, it’s just a trace.
“In the cultivation of immortals, one’s magic power needs to be perfected, and one’s understanding of the law must also reach the stage of condensing the Tao seeds. Only then can one reach the peak of true immortality!”
Yu Xiu said: "I have been practicing hard for many years. Relying on the resources of Fengyuanzhai, I can barely achieve more than half of my magic power. However, my understanding of the law has been stuck at the bottleneck and I cannot break through..."
"Brother Yu Dao's progress has made us look up to him..."
Alchemist Zhang sighed: "Although I have the help of the elixir, I don't have much confidence that I will be able to perfect the magic power of the True Immortal within a million years... As for the understanding of the law? It depends on sudden enlightenment. If you don't understand it thoroughly, you will never understand it." It’s normal to be sleepy…”
Fang Xi could not help but nod after hearing this.
In the Immortal Realm, pills that can increase the probability of enlightenment are simply rarer than those that increase mana!
If you are willing to release your 'Daojun Pill', it will definitely be a hot commodity among the immortals, and it will be much easier to use than the immortal jade.
“Today I will tell you how to reach the peak of immortality.”
Yu Xiu looked around and said with a smile: "This is what I compiled based on the records of the exercises in many ancient books... I hope it can be of some benefit to all fellow Taoists."
“Good!”
Fang Xi’s eyes lit up and she spoke first.
Although the Evergreen Technique and the Immortal Dharma in the Yuanli Secret Realm all have descriptions about Hedao.
But some places are still vague.
Fang Xi will reach such a critical point sooner or later, and she can’t help but want to hear other people’s opinions.
"As long as we immortals have not reached the peak of true immortals, the difference in strength is actually not huge. At most, the heavenly immortals are stronger than the earthly immortals, and the earthly immortals are stronger than the human immortals... In addition, formations, immortal weapons, Talismans and secret arts are also very influential, just like me, they are no match for Dugu Fang..."
Yu Xiu didn't seem to mind what happened before, and continued: "The peak of true immortality is a threshold. I don't know how many immortals practice hard, but in the end it is difficult to cross this threshold and pursue the path of Hedao Daojun..."
The peak of true immortality requires not only the perfection of magic power, but also the understanding of a law to the level of Taoism.
Fang Xi is still some distance away now, not to mention the immortals present.
In this way, we only have the opportunity to take a peek at Hedao.
"Those who are in harmony with the Tao can be said to be 'in union with the truth'. This step is very dangerous. After all, how vast is the power of the laws of the true immortal world? If you are not careful, your body will die and the Tao will disappear, and even the Tao Lord cannot save it... What's more Those who are influenced by the power of the law become Taoist monsters and cause disaster."
“A Taoist monster?”
After hearing this, Fang Xi felt something in her heart: "Is it equivalent to the Taoist transformation of those immortals who practice?"
"It's somewhat similar but much scarier. After all, the Taoism in the True Immortal Realm is not comparable to that of the small world below? And after the Immortal killed himself, the foundation was damaged, but it was a blessing in disguise that he no longer suffered from the erosion of Taoism... Even so, It’s hard to make any progress in cultivation, and there is no hope of becoming a Taoist master.”
Yu Xiu smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I feel that if gods and ghosts can practice and break through the Tao Lord, I am afraid that they will be extremely terrifying existences among the Tao Lords."
Fang Xi could not help but nod.
The greater the difficulty, the greater the benefits after the breakthrough!
Although it is almost an iron rule that ghosts, immortals, and gods in the real immortal world cannot prove to be the Tao Lord, there are exceptions to everything.
For example, before he became an immortal, he didn't even know that there was a secret method to advance to the level of immortality!
If you are a Taoist, or even a big shot above the Taoist, you may know the cultivation method of ghosts and immortals, but it is just that the cost is too high, the gain is not worth the loss, or some taboos are involved, so it has not been spread...
In ‘Mortal Law’, everything is possible!
Just listen to Yu Xiu say again: "If the achievement of becoming a Taoist king is divided into several steps, the first step is to cultivate to the peak of the true immortal, and the second step is to condense the jade platform, which requires building enough to carry the 'Tao seed' in the soul. The 'virtual platform' and the third step is 'sitting and forgetting'. Once the Tao seeds enter the jade platform, there will be many delusions and Tao transformations. It is known as the 'Seven Declines of Taiyi', which is more terrifying and terrifying than the 'Five Declines of Heaven and Man'. …”
“The seven declines of Taiyi are actually two more declines than the five declines of heaven and humans... I’m afraid it will be difficult to survive.”
Fang Xi's heart moved.
Before becoming a heavenly being, one needs to go through the ‘Five Declines of Heaven and Man’. Perhaps this is a preview for Dao Lord’s ‘Seven Declines of Taiyi’?
From this point of view, when it comes to becoming a Taoist, heavenly immortals are indeed more certain than earthly immortals.
“After three steps, will you be the Dao Lord?”
Immortal Xu Qing’s eyes were eager and he asked.
“No, there is still one step left... Even after the seven declines of Taiyi, the Tao seed remains in the soul, but it is still not the Tao Lord. It can only be said that it is mostly in harmony with the Tao, but it has not yet taken the most critical step..."
Yu Xiudao: "This fourth step, which is also the last step, is called 'Beheading the Way'. It is very mysterious and extremely difficult. The geniuses of big forces, such as Ziyin Daozi and his like, are often stuck before this step for hundreds of millions of years." He is not allowed to advance even an inch, and he is called the 'Half-Step King', but in fact, the difference between half a step and a world of difference!"
