Chapter 674: Hearing the Xiantian for the First Time, Qi Yun Cheng Dao
Chapter 674: Hearing the Innate for the First Time, Qi Yun Becomes the Tao (Two in One)
When Li Yuan pushed the door open, it was already bright.
There is no sun or moon in the cave, but there is a sea of ray of light on the horizon, which spreads among the mountains and mixes with the mist, creating quite a magnificent scene.
"Master, the spiritual meal is ready."
In the small courtyard, Li Yi had already prepared a spiritual meal, still the 'Red Deer Meal'.
During the three years, Li Yi learned several kinds of spiritual diet and made them occasionally, but most of the time he still used the Red Deer Diet, which was nutritious and cheap.
Although the effectiveness is reduced for cultivators in the second and third realms, it won’t hurt to eat more.
"Yesterday, your senior sister sent the invitation."
While Li Yuan was tasting the spiritual food, Li Yi was reporting on the major and minor events in the cave, such as the harvest of spiritual rice, the loss of spiritual puppets, and the invitation sent by Yu Huanzhen.
"A small enlightenment meeting?"
Li Yuan put away the invitation and continued eating.
After completing the second realm, his appetite increased again, nearly ten times that of when he first entered the mountain. Fortunately, the red deer meal contained almost no impurities, and he had the magic power to refine the impurities, so he did not need to urinate or defecate.
“This is what cultivation is.”
Putting down his bowl and chopsticks, Li Yuan looked out at the rosy glow in the sky and was quite satisfied with his current life.
In both of his lives, he preferred to immerse himself in his own little world. If it were not for the need to seek spiritual cultivation resources, he even felt that this was the spiritual life of his dreams.
Every day, I practice martial arts, read books, listen to music, go fishing and have meals, practice magic on the fighting stage, and when I feel tired, I open the general knowledge ball to read about the scenery of other worlds and other people's travel notes.
After dinner, Li Yuan went to the gas collection platform as usual to take a look, collected the divine patterns that the black-skinned small gourd had picked with great effort, gently turned the human-demon bone chain with one hand, and walked out the door slowly.
Perhaps because of the true teachings, many fellow practitioners were still on the mountain. Li Yuan met a few of them when he went out. He greeted them one by one, talked with them, and added them as friends.
"The weight of the true teachings."
After bidding farewell to those senior brothers, Li Yuan couldn't help but think of Senior Brother Fu Fa, but he decisively dismissed the association.
Although I could no longer remember the true face of that senior brother after trying yesterday, if I remembered it again and he looked at me again through my thoughts, I would really not be able to bear it.
On the way, Li Yuan stopped by to buy some elixirs needed for his daily practice.
The elixir area of Dongxuan Mountain is quite large, second only to the Lingtian area. There are many kinds of elixirs and the quality is excellent. Except for the price, there are no shortcomings.
"Alchemy is really lucrative."
Holding a few bottles of Xuanshui Dan, Li Yuan couldn't help feeling emotional.
Disciples of Dongxuan Mountain can enjoy discounts when purchasing elixirs such as the Xuanshui Pill. This elixir is also available in other realms, but the price is often more than 30% higher.
Not long after, Li Yuan arrived at the 666th-level small cave. On the steps, there were already two spirit puppets dressed as maids waiting, leading the way for him with a respectful attitude.
'Four Realms Spirit Puppet!'
Li Yuan took a glance and sensed the complicated divine prohibitions flowing in the bodies of these two spirit puppets, and was secretly shocked.
Spirit puppets are different from Taoist soldiers in that most of them do not have the ability to fight and kill. Therefore, most spirit puppets are only at the second or third level, and it is not very cost-effective to reach the fourth level or above.
Yu Huanzhen manages his small cave very well.
There are spiritual fields, medicinal fields, and spiritual beast areas, all of which are of very high quality. Li Yuan even saw a high-quality spiritual field that was served by spirit puppets day and night.
From afar, the sacred field looked like a forest of giant trees providing shade for people. The ears of rice were about ten feet long, and each grain was plump and round. When the wind blew, the fragrance of rice wafted into the air, making people feel refreshed.
"What kind of rice is this?"
Li Yuan asked.
"My dear, this is Qingling rice, fifth-grade spiritual rice. Long-term consumption can nourish the spirit, consolidate the foundation, and purify the magic power..."
The maid who led the way answered.
"Qingling rice?"
Li Yuan took a few glances before following him up the mountain.
The mountain was quiet and peaceful, with few buildings. From a distance, Li Yuan saw the familiar pavilion, where a maid was making tea and Yu Huanzhen was having a pleasant conversation with a few Taoists.
As if aware of his arrival, Yu Huanzhen walked out of the pavilion, and the other three Taoists also stood up.
"Senior Sister Yu, Senior Brother."
Li Yuan bowed in greeting.
"Brother Li, there is no need to be so polite."
Yu Huanzhen welcomed him in with a smile and introduced the other three people to him.
Among the three, Li Yuan recognized two of them. The one with a faint nine-colored smoke around him was Fang Jiuan, and the other one with a handsome face was Gu Xuansheng.
The last person has an unremarkable appearance but eyes as deep as the sea. He is Yuan Han, one of only two contemporary disciples who have made it onto the Weitian Martial Arts List.
The second person to break into a house in modern times.
"Senior Brother Yuan, Senior Brother Gu, Senior Brother Fang."
Li Yuan greeted them one by one, and the three of them returned the greetings.
"This is the circle of disciples."
Li Yuan couldn't help but sigh again at the importance of Senior Brother Fufa. With just a few words, he was able to bring him into the small circle of inner disciples.
Moreover, this is not just an ordinary small circle.
Among the four, Yuan Han and Yu Huanzhen are among the top five disciples, Gu Xuansheng and Fang Jiuan are also among the top ten. Although their divine light is restrained, they also have a solemn aura.
Li Yuan read a lot of books and knew that this was the realm of Dharma. He had established his own system of magical powers and spells, and was only half a step away from reaching the realm of Dharma.
"You are even more strict than Senior Brother Qi Yun. You have already cultivated the foundation of the Law of Heaven. Are you seeking the position of the True Transmission? Or are you afraid of the calamity of enlightenment?"
Li Yuan pondered in his heart, and then sat down with the others. A maid came forward and poured tea for everyone one by one.
"Junior apprentice sister Yu is willing to take out this 'Enlightenment Tea' today?"
Yuan Han glanced at Li Yuan and said with a smile, "It seems that the three of us are still benefiting from Junior Brother Li today."
"It's rare for Senior Sister Yu to be so generous."
Gu Xuansheng and Fang Jiuan also agreed with a smile.
“When am I not generous?”
Yu Huanzhen snorted softly: "Last time when 'Junior Sister Han' cultivated the Dharma Realm, didn't you drink the Dharma Enlightenment Tea?"
"That's true."
Fang Jiuan nodded, but was startled again, and asked: "Senior Brother Gu, do you still remember how many years ago Junior Sister Han cultivated the Dharma Realm?"
"This……"
Gu Xuansheng was quite cooperative and looked at Yuan Han hesitantly. The latter answered seriously: "Two hundred and thirty-two years ago, Junior Sister Han cultivated the top-grade Fatian."
"..."
Yu Huanzhen was too lazy to pay attention to the three people and greeted Li Yuan with a smile:
"Brother Li, don't listen to their nonsense. They clearly know that it takes 300 years for the 'Enlightenment Tea' to grow into a tree, but they pretend not to know. They are really not human beings!"
"It takes three hundred years to grow a tree?"
Li Yuan was stunned for a moment. He was quite experienced in satisfying his master.
But he was actually somewhat surprised in his heart, because he knew that this Enlightenment Tea was a rather rare spiritual tea that could help people become enlightened and practice magic.
He had bought some Wufa Pills before, and the main ingredient of the pills was the bark of the Wufa Tea tree. The effect was really good, so even though the price was expensive, he bought a lot of them.
"Why are you talking so much? Drink tea, drink tea!"
Fang Jiuan raised his glass with a smile, and the others also raised their teacups. Li Yuan naturally took a sip as well.
hum~
The moment the tea entered his mouth, Li Yuan felt a chill rising to his brow. In an instant, he felt as if a big hole had been broken in his Niwan Palace, and his consciousness and mind instantly became active.
In the Niwan Divine Realm, the vast ocean suddenly began to surge, and the golden-winged Peng bird that was practicing magic among the black vine trees let out an extremely excited cry, then soared into the sky.
"This tea?!"
Li Yuan was startled, but immediately he concentrated and entered a state of meditation.
At this moment, he felt that his mind was unprecedentedly active, to a degree that even made him stunned and shocked.
In the divine realm, the golden-winged roc was dancing wildly in the sky, and the waves in the vast ocean were surging. He saw a series of strange scenes evolving, some were dark and heavy water, some were dark and empty sword energy and sea of clouds...
Li Yuan attached great importance to practicing magic. Even when he was away from home, Ling Xiang was still practicing magic.
But normally, even if he was fully focused, Ling Xiang could only practice spells one by one, fiddle with the divine prohibitions, and slowly push the divine patterns to flow. But now, Ling Xiang was even practicing four spells at the same time!
wrong!
The black vine tree was also shaking gently. Qingdi Yan, who had been unable to break through due to his lack of magic power, was also pushing it. Within a few breaths, he had reached the tenth level of magic restriction!
"So fierce?!"
Li Yuan did not waste any time. While practicing magic with his mind, his heart was rustling as he flipped through the three ancient scrolls he had just acquired.
The Shadow Demon's magical powers, the Nine Infants' true form diagram, and the Qianjin White Tiger's true form diagram.
As soon as the mind turned, all kinds of enlightenment flooded into the mind. The last two true form maps were okay, but the progress of the shadow demon's magic power in the one that was not recognized by the characters of the Meta-Shadow Realm was amazing.
The words of the Meta-Shadow Realm that he had never learned were beating in his heart, turning into the words that he was most familiar with and he gradually understood them...
"puff!"
At a certain moment, Li Yuan felt the Divine Palace tremble slightly. The Xuan Gang Heavy Water had already broken through to the thirty-second level of magic prohibition, and the other three spells broke through one after another.
It kept advancing at a speed that left him dumbfounded...
By the time his mind returned to normal, the Xuan Gang Heavy Water had reached the thirty-third level, and the other three spells had all reached the thirtieth level of magic prohibition.
Even Qing Di Yan has reached the fourteenth level!
“Magic tea!”
Even though a huge amount of fatigue suddenly hit him, it did not suppress the surprise in Li Yuan's heart. He just took a sip of tea, and it was like he had experienced an epiphany!
"I have fully comprehended the Shadow Demon's magical power. As long as I have enough divine patterns, I can start practicing it immediately!"
Li Yuan took stock of his gains and quickly opened his eyes.
"how?"
Inside the pavilion, four people were looking at him.
"Peerless Spiritual Tea!"
Li Yuan gave his own evaluation, and several people couldn't help but laugh.
“Good tea is good tea, but it is not worthy of the word peerless.”
Yu Huanzhen waved his hand and said, "Master's 'Enlightenment Tea' is the real peerless spiritual tea. When I meet Master one day, I will understand."
"Enlightenment tea?"
Li Yuan calmed himself down and suppressed the fatigue that was rising in his heart.
"When we, the disciples, meet our master for the first time, we can have a drink. That taste..."
When the Enlightenment Tea was mentioned, a touch of nostalgia suddenly appeared on the faces of several people present:
“It’s unforgettable!”
Li Yuan took note of it silently. He subconsciously picked up the teacup and found that it was empty.
"Enlightenment tea is very energy-consuming. It is best to drink only one cup within a hundred years. Drinking more will damage your soul and the effect of enlightenment will be greatly reduced."
Yu Huanzhen explained.
"Thank you, senior sister!"
Li Yuan put down his teacup and bowed in thanks.
"About a cup of tea."
Seeing that he was satisfied, Yu Huanzhen felt relieved, knowing that the past was over.
After yesterday's true teaching, the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt. The attitude of that senior brother Fu Fa towards Li Yuan was indeed different from that of ordinary people.
She even suspected that the reason why Taoist Fufa gave everyone a divine pattern seed was because of Li Yuan!
"Junior Brother Li has achieved the perfect union. The next step is to cultivate the highest grade of mana, right?"
At this time, Fang Jiuan spoke.
Li Yuan nodded and did not hide it: "When I was a disciple, I was inspired by the sea of divine patterns and obtained the Eastern Green Emperor's Longevity Sutra. I want to use water magic to nourish trees and cultivate the Green Emperor's magic power."
"Water method to nourish wood, this is a coincidence."
Fang Jiuan looked at Gu Xuansheng, who was also a little surprised:
"Junior Brother Li and I have some fate. When I first entered the sect, I realized the North Pole Black Emperor's Dark Abyss Sutra, and when I first entered the sect, I cultivated the magic power of the wood element..."
"If you have any doubts in the future, you can discuss them with each other."
"Thank you, senior brother."
Li Yuan hurriedly bowed his hands and thanked him. "You are so lucky. Poor Fang was so focused on entering the sect that he didn't realize that the sea of divine patterns actually contained good fortune. He lost a great sutra!"
Fang Jiuan couldn't help but slap the table, he was really heartbroken.
A great sutra is worth at least six hundred great merits. Whenever he thought of it, he wished he could go through time and slap himself in the face.
"Are you sure you can comprehend the great sutra?"
Yuan Han snorted coldly.
He also gained something from observing the Sea of Divine Patterns in the past, but unfortunately what he comprehended was the 'Xuanming Sword Canon', which is ten times different from the classic.
"Why not?"
Fang Jiuan glanced at him and said, "When you entered the sect, your talent was not at the level of a god or devil, so you only understood the Mysterious Sword Canon, but I am born with the talent of a god or devil!"
"Being born a god or demon is not as good as being transformed after birth."
Yuan Han didn't care either.
"Not as good as Junior Brother Yu, who has realized the 'Qianyang Wuji Dao' and laid the foundation for the true teachings when he entered the sect..."
Yu Huanzhen spoke at the right time and everyone fell silent.
"That's enough. Why bring up that big beard?"
Yuan Han slammed the table and said, "After I meet the master, I will go to Guixu to look for the opportunity to rebel against the innate!"
"This……"
"Are you really going to the 'Xuanhuang Realm'? I heard that a true disciple of Yuan Dongtian died there..."
"Brother Yuan, be cautious."
Hearing this, Gu Xuansheng and others tried to persuade them.
Li Yuan listened silently, unable to interrupt, but he also heard a lot of information. After everyone slowed down their conversation, he asked:
"May I ask, fellow brothers, what is the innate nature you are talking about?"
"Uh……"
The few of them then remembered that Li Yuan had just joined the sect. They looked at each other and Fang Jiuan spoke:
“Junior brother, you should know that there are seven levels of talent. This is widely known in all realms, but most people only think that the seventh level of god-devil talent is the end. In fact, there are more levels above it…”
"Go against the innate nature, the great way base!"
Avenue base?
Li Yuan was shocked, and his desire to know was immediately aroused: "How can I go against the innate nature?"
As a cultivator who has pushed his own talents from the middle to the god-demon level, Master Li Dao knows too well the importance of talent.
In fact, after using the divine fire to temper his body and transform his talents, he tried to wield various weapons in an attempt to explore higher talents.
But there seemed to be no end to the talents above the god-demon level. Even though he controlled the ten mysterious weapons, he could not reach the edge of the talents of the next level.
After entering Dongxuan Mountain, he also searched for such information, but only saw a brief description in an unknown travelogue.
Only now did I realize that above the gods and demons is the innate.
"do not know."
Hearing this, everyone present shook their heads.
"Not to mention us, even Yu Wangxian himself doesn't know."
Yu Huanzhen sighed inexplicably:
"Brother Li, do you know how Yu Da Huzi went against his innate nature?"
Her expression was very subtle, and Gu Xuansheng and the other two also had complicated expressions on their faces.
"I hope Senior Sister can teach me."
Li Yuan was a little confused, but soon he knew the reason.
"That bearded man..."
Yuan Han couldn't help but say, "When the bearded man was guiding the golden light to ferry him in before he entered the gate, by chance, he passed through an alien dimension that was about to collapse..."
"and then?"
Li Yuan asked.
"Then, he went against his innate nature, and his Sun Sacred Body transformed into his innate Yang Dao Body..."
"what?"
Li Yuan was a little confused. Purely relying on luck?
He finally understood why the four people looked so excited, because it was difficult for him to describe his feelings at the moment:
"This is too good luck."
On the way to entry, he got the opportunity to reverse his innate Yang body, and when he entered, he obtained the Qianyang Wuji Dao, which laid the foundation for the true teachings in one fell swoop...
“Maybe this is luck?”
There was some silence in the pavilion for a while. After a long time, Fang Jiuan spoke up: "Don't mention that bearded man. Brother Yuan, the Xuanhuang Realm is not a good place. Do you really want to go there?"
Everyone looked at Yuan Han.
"If Fa Tian succeeds, Xian Tian will be hopeless. How can I be content without giving it a try?"
Yuan Han looked calm:
"Where in the depths of Guixu is not dangerous? In comparison, the Xuanhuang Realm is already an extremely safe dimension."
"Why bother with this?"
Fang Jiuan sighed, he didn’t understand.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, the others stopped trying to dissuade him. Li Yuan remained silent throughout, just acting as a listener.
At this time, Gu Xuansheng suddenly asked: "When will Senior Brother Yuan leave?"
"Ok?"
"you……"
Several people looked at Gu Xuansheng in surprise.
"You want to go too?"
Yuan Han was a little surprised, but then he knew the reason: "For the Xuanhuang World Tree?"
Xuanhuang World Tree!
Li Yuan wrote down the name. The atmosphere was not right at the moment, so he didn't want to ask any more questions.
"For wood cultivators like me, the Xuanhuang World Tree is a supreme opportunity and fortune. If I didn't know about it, it would be fine. Now that I know about it, I really want to go and take a look."
Gu Xuansheng nodded, and when he saw several people frowning, he smiled:
"In terms of methods, I am not as good as Senior Brother Yuan, but I have practiced both water and wood methods. I am most proficient in the method of avoiding disasters and taking the place of death. I am not afraid of the dangers of Xuanhuang."
"You guys..."
Fang Jiuan wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.
Yu Huanzhen didn't say anything. She knew very well that if she were in his shoes, she would definitely give it a try if she saw the opportunity.
After a brief silence, the maid came to pour tea for the group. Li Yuan raised his teacup and said, "Junior brother, I wish you two a smooth journey and may you achieve the foundation of the Great Dao!"
"it is good!"
Yuan Han and Gu Xuansheng looked at each other, laughed and raised their glasses.
……
In the second half of the tea party, the few people naturally became familiar with each other. Li Yuan took the opportunity to ask a lot of questions about high-quality magic power and divine furnace, and the few people answered their questions one by one.
After the short meeting, Fang Jiuan and the other two said goodbye one after another.
Li Yuan stayed.
The maid poured tea for the two of them. Yu Huanzhen turned the teacup gently, not knowing what he was thinking about, while Li Yuan was digesting what he had just learned.
Yu Huanzhen and his companions are all cultivators at the peak of the fifth realm, with profound knowledge. Even if they were not explaining things to him on purpose, Li Yuan still gained a lot from listening to them.
I just feel that the future path is much clearer.
"What are you thinking about, brother?"
Yu Huanzhen came back to his senses and asked.
"About the Divine Furnace."
Li Yuan replied.
The divine furnace is not a state of mind, but more like a branch of the divine palace realm. It has great benefits for refining golden elixirs, magic rings, innate magical powers, and innate spiritual treasures.
However, the divine furnace is extremely difficult to cast, and only those with top-grade magic power can melt it.
"With Junior Brother's talent, you only need to cultivate high-grade mana, and forging the divine furnace will be a piece of cake."
Yu Huanzhen picked up the teacup and took a sip.
"Thank you for your good words, Senior Sister."
Li Yuan would not argue. He was always respectful of spiritual practice and would carefully consider and compare every step, for fear of making a wrong move.
Yu Huanzhen didn't say much, and after a moment's hesitation, he asked:
"Brother, what is your opinion on the high-grade mana?"
"The range of top-grade mana is quite large. For example, the Poison Dragon Academy claims to have thirty-six kinds of top-grade mana, each of which requires the smelting of the 'Twenty-four Forbidden Earthly Evils' and the 'Twelve Forbidden Heavenly Evils'. The Green Emperor's mana requires the 36 Forbidden Earthly Evils and the 18 Forbidden Heavenly Evils, which is far from comparable to the Red Dragon's mana."
Li Yuan knew a lot about top-grade magic power, and he explained it one by one after hearing it.
"Junior brother has a solid foundation."
Yu Huanzhen praised and said:
"There are eighty-one divine patterns needed to refine the Green Emperor's magic power, but the nine most important ones should be birth, growth, spirit, green, east, shock, wood, armor, and spring?"
"Yes and no?"
"Senior sister has a wide range of knowledge."
Li Yuan nodded.
The nine kinds of divine patterns that Yu Huanzhen mentioned are all top-grade. The wonders containing such divine patterns are extremely rare and difficult to pick. After a thorough understanding of them, he decisively gave up picking them himself.
For example, the divine pattern with the word "Zhen" corresponds to the wonder "Thunder Tribulation of Enlightenment", and this thunder tribulation will only appear when a cultivator is promoted to the Heavenly Law...
"Well... I have four types, namely Chang, Ling, Jia, and Chun."
Yu Huanzhen raised his hand and grabbed from the void, only to see ripples appearing. Wisps of green light emerged and sank into his palm. They were the four top-grade divine patterns.
"Here you go!"
Yu Huanzhen did not hesitate. With a shake of his hand, the divine pattern fell into Li Yuan's brow.
"Thank you, Senior Sister, for the treasure!"
Li Yuan hurriedly bowed and saluted, feeling quite surprised.
He thought that even if this senior sister didn't mention the demon refining place, she would at least mention it vaguely, but he didn't expect her to be so straightforward.
"Just a few divine patterns."
Yu Huanzhen raised her hand and several maids came out from outside the pavilion, one holding an exquisite jade jar and the other holding a cloth bag as big as a palm.
"This is?"
Li Yuan looked at the jade jar handed to him and put it in his pocket.
"A few kilograms of spiritual rice and a can of spiritual tea. These are all spiritual things produced by my little cave. Take them back and have a taste."
Yu Huanzhen smiled slightly.
"This……"
Li Yuan roughly guessed what it was and felt a little embarrassed.
"Junior brother, just accept it. Senior Brother Yuan and the others will also have a copy."
"Then it would be disrespectful to refuse!"
Li Yuan took it with both hands and thanked him again.
"what?"
At this time, Yu Huanzhen seemed to have sensed something and looked outside the void, then smiled at Li Yuan:
"Junior brother, your luck is pretty good. The divine pattern of the word 'Zhen' is coming!"
"The divine pattern of the word 'Zhen'?"
Li Yuan's mind turned and he guessed it.
"Um……"
Yu Huanzhen counted with his fingers and was somewhat surprised:
"It's actually Senior Brother Qi Yun?"
