"Zhenren Lin, I once heard from an elder that the first two Heavenly Tribulations came from our own Boundless World. So if you have the merit of this world, the power will be much smaller and it will not be so difficult to pass." Shi Xuan returned the favor by telling Linló about the relationship between merit and Heavenly Tribulations, and was ready to record it in the jade slip that stored the secret method.
When the future generations looked it up, they would see that the method of passing the tribulation was provided by the sixteenth generation Shi Xuan, Zhenren Shi.
Linló was watching Shi Xuan leave with a smile. When she heard Shi Xuan's words, she was surprised, happy, and solemn. She said in a complicated tone, "I've always heard that those super sects have the secret method of using merit to pass the tribulation, but I didn't expect there to be such a connection. It can directly reduce the power of Heavenly Tribulations."
After that, she sincerely asked what merit was and how to get it. Shi Xuan answered one by one according to his own understanding.
When Shi Xuan finished recording and was ready to leave, Linló stood up and bowed to Shi Xuan. Shi Xuan turned sideways to receive it.
…
Except for a few things that were left behind, the miscellaneous things were exchanged for a lot of Karma points for Shi Xuan at the Ends of the Earth Tower, the East-coming Purple Qi Tower, and the Grand Sun Tower. Originally, these Karma points were of little use to Shi Xuan. At most, he could exchange them for some objects for his disciples or for Yang Shen Immortal to help him once or twice.
But now, Shi Xuan had a new idea.
If he had reincarnated in his own Greater Thousand World, thanks to the [Treasure Record], he would have immediately been blessed with great luck. But if that happened, in the eyes of the half-step Golden Immortal who was paying attention to the Yu Yu Great World, he would have revealed his true identity without being pressed. And then, the Golden Immortal Daofather would attack. Even a fool would know that there was no way he could escape.
Therefore, Shi Xuan was ready to go to other Boundless Worlds to be reincarnated. In this way, it was quite necessary to exchange the Ruyi Immortal-binding Rope for a period of time outside the sect with Karma points.
After thinking about it, Shi Xuan made a decision and put the matter aside. The top priority was to return to the cave residence, calm down, and carefully read the contents of the second half of the Record of Treasures. He consolidated his cultivation, practiced Taoist magic arts, refined his Natal Spiritual Weapon, and made up for the homework that he had missed due to advancing too fast.
Shi Xuan Cave Residence on Phecda Peak.
Once Shi Shuan stepped into the cave, he heard Ao Gu's loud and even snoring. Ao Gu had transformed into an enormous dragon, coiled up, and was fast asleep.
Sensing that someone came in, Ao Gu opened his lantern-sized eyes, glanced at Shi Shuan in confusion, and said, "Master, you're back?"
After a pause, he muttered to himself, "Could it be that I'm dreaming? Master just left two years ago and went to other Boundless Worlds to work hard to achieve the Primordial Spirit. It's not like you went fishing on the sea. How could you be back so soon? Yes, yes, I must be dreaming. I'll continue to sleep for a while. I'll be fine when I wake up. "Then he closed his eyes and snorted again.
Seeing this, Shi Xuan chuckled and scolded with a smile, "It's me."
Ao Gu opened his eyes in a flash and looked at Shi Xuan in horror, "Master, you're really back?! So, you've achieved the Primordial Spirit?! "
Shi Xuan nodded, "Yes."
Ao Gu's big head swayed left and right as if he didn't know Shi Xuan and felt that the cultivator standing in front of him was the incarnation of a terrifying primordial wild beast. After a long time, he said, "Ao Gu really made the right choice to follow you, Master. Uh, should I call you Immortal or continue to call you Master? "
"It's up to you. Is Qing Suo here? "Shi Xuan asked the monkey Qing Suo.
Ao Gu thought for a while and said, "Master is the most amiable one. Qing Suo just came back from the wild and is eating a spiritual fruit in its room. "
While talking about Qing Suo, the door of Qing Suo's room opened with a squeak. The monkey quietly poked half of its head out and looked at the situation in the hall with a spiritual fruit in its mouth. When it saw Shi Xuan, it was stunned for a while and its nose twitched a few times. Then, its eyes widened and it didn't even notice that the spiritual fruit fell to the ground.
After being stunned for a while, it quickly rushed out and circled around Shi Xuan, making Ao Gu dizzy. Only when Shi Xuan bent his finger and knocked on its head did it settle down and rubbed its hairy face against Shi Xuan's leg to please him.
Shi Xuan was really angry and funny at the same time. Before reaching the Primordial Spirit Realm, Qing Suo was very arrogant in front of him, but once it reached the Primordial Spirit Realm, it immediately changed to a flattering attitude. It was too realistic.
But then again, the Qing Suo still had a part of its memory, so it was indeed a little unwilling to recognize a cultivator below the Primordial Spirit Realm as its master.
Touching Qing Suo's head, Shi Xuan said to Ao Gu, "You have been in the Soul Realm for many years. Do you want to walk the path of the orthodox Taoism or condense the monster core?"
Ao Gu had already thought about it, "Of course I want to condense the monster core. The tempering of the mind on the orthodox Taoism path is too painful. With Miss Ming as an example, I am not optimistic about myself."
Shi Xuan nodded. It was normal for Ao Gu to make such a choice. But if nothing unexpected happened to Ming Qingyue, with the firmness of her Taoist Heart, she could expect to condense the Upper Grade Gold Core within a hundred years.
"After condensing the monster core, you want to purify the monster core into the Upper Grade, and then achieve the body of the Dragon King. You also need to temper your Taoist Heart, unless you want to walk the path of the outer path." Shi Xuan gave some advice to Ao Gu. Among the demon race, the path of achieving immortality was also divided into the outer path. Just like swallowing the monster core to form the core, one could refine the demon race of the Primordial Spirit Realm to seek the outer path of immortality. Of course, the price and flaws needed to be paid were also great, but it did not need to experience the ethereal tempering of the Taoist Heart.
Ao Gu said flatteringly, "After condensing the monster core, I will have a lifespan of tens of thousands of years. I can temper it however I want."
"Well, I have obtained a lot of spirit herbs and materials this time. I have left a few for you to condense the monster core," Shi Xuan said lightly and handed these things to Ao Gu.
Ao Gu was overjoyed. If it were not for the lack of spirit herbs, he would have already condensed the monster core, "Thank you, Master, thank you." As for after condensing the monster core, Ao Gu was not afraid of facing the countless cultivators of the Soul Realm in Penglai who longed for the monster core to form the Lower Grade Gold Core. He was the gatekeeper of the Primordial Spirit Realm!
…
In Shi Xuan's living room, the Mountain and River Pearl emerged in Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit, emitting a faint White Light.
After a moment of meditation, Shi Xuan calmed his heart and sank his mind into the second half of the Mountain and River Pearl Treasure Record. At this stage, the visualization method was the 'Yin Yang Chaotic Solution'. Through visualization, the two energies of Yin and Yang, which were still separate, were slowly harmonized. Then, through the heavenly thunder of the first and second heavenly tribulations, they were successfully purified and blended into one.
In other words, Shi Xuan had to cross both heavenly tribulations before he could cultivate the Yin Yang Chaotic Divine Light. Of course, its power was also incomparably powerful, reaching the level of a fourth-rank immortal technique. Compared to the third-rank immortal technique that could be cultivated after the second heavenly tribulation, it was one rank higher.
And most importantly, this immortal technique came from his own divine light and his gradual understanding of the changes of Yin and Yang. There was no need for Taoist techniques as a foundation. As long as he crossed the second heavenly tribulation, he could immediately cultivate it.
The 'Treasure Record' was indeed worthy of being a supreme cultivation method. Shi Xuan sighed in his heart. He also somewhat understood why Qingyun Zi wanted to cross the first two heavenly tribulations in a row. On one hand, he had confidence, and on the other hand, there were benefits.
After that, because Shi Xuan had no use for the third and fourth heavenly tribulations, the cultivation method for the Deva Realm, and how to fuse with the Dao, he only skimmed through it and memorized the content. Then, he looked at the immortal technique and the tribulation section.
The treasure record itself did not have many magical techniques. In addition to the Yin Yang Chaotic Divine Light, there were only four immortal techniques: "Six Paths of Reincarnation", "Yin and Yang Dust", "Precelestial Eight Trigrams", and "Karma Pill Book".
In fact, what Shi Xuan did not know was that even if there were several powerful Fairy Immortals in the major sects, the number of immortal techniques that could be directly cultivated was at most three or four. This kind of immortal technique was rare, but it also meant that it was very powerful. Compared with the immortal techniques that were advanced from ordinary Level Nine Taoist techniques, it was much more powerful at the same level.
Among them, the "Karma Pill Book" needed to be cultivated to the ninth level of the Heaven and Earth Soul-Searching Technique and the Yin and Yang Original Magnetic Divine Light. Only then could it be operated, combined with the laws of heaven and earth, condensed into one, and upgraded to an immortal technique. Moreover, when it was used, one of the functions of the Taoist technique could be displayed according to the user's will.
As for its own ability, it naturally involved the changes of cause and effect, such as soul capture, life taking, curse, and so on.
"Precelestial Eight Trigrams" needed to be cultivated to the ninth level of the Divine Mirror of Heaven and Earth, the Purple Eyes of Thunder, and the Golden Bridge of All Phenomena of Chaos. It could track the breath, eliminate the traces, check the image of the other party, prevent others from snooping, and retrace the scene, and so on. But more importantly, together with the Tai Chi diagram, which had been advanced into a magic treasure, it could allow Shi Xuan to have the ability of sudden inspiration, preliminary calculation, and deduction before he passed the first Heavenly Tribulation.
"Yin and Yang Dust" was both an immortal technique and an immortal formation. It needed to be cultivated to the ninth level of the Primordial Forbidden Method of Reversing Heaven and Earth, the Illusory Void, and the Yin and Yang Evil Killing Sword Qi. Its function was roughly the same as the "Yin and Yang Dust Formation" that Shi Xuan knew. However, to develop the universe in a grain of dust, it needed to be at least a ninth level immortal technique.
When it was used as an immortal technique, its form was not fixed. It could be used as a formation immortal technique or as a Sword Qi.
When it was used as an immortal formation, Shi Xuan needed to refine a "Yu Yu Congenital Qi Talisman" to stabilize the formation eye, together with other materials and spiritual stones. Before the fifth level immortal technique, the immortal talisman could be made with the Small Chiliocosm, and the Primordial Clear Qi before the Chaos came out as the main material. After the fifth level immortal technique, it was necessary to find the Vast Chiliocosm that was about to be born, and also to take the Primordial Clear Qi before the Chaos came out.
"Six Paths of Reincarnation" was just an advancement from the Cycle of Life and Death of Yin and Yang. It did not need other Taoist techniques. It was divided into the Celestial Realm, the Human Realm, the Asura Realm, the Animal Realm, the Hell Realm, and the Hungry Ghost Realm. Once hit by the Six Paths of Reincarnation, even those who were much stronger than Shi Xuan, such as the Primordial Spirit Immortal who was about to pass the first Heavenly Tribulation, would be reincarnated between the Six Paths of Reincarnation. There was only a small chance for him to escape, and if he was not careful, he would fall into hell.
It was especially effective against ghosts and corpses who achieved the Dao. However, this immortal technique was just as difficult to practice as the "Yin and Yang Dust Formation". Compared to the normal immortal technique, it would take at least 30 years to practice.
However, if he did as Lady Yu said and put the white bone into the Cycle of Life and Death of Yin and Yang to practice "Six Paths of Reincarnation", he could save a lot of time. Moreover, he might be able to compete with the Yang God Immortal who had passed the first Heavenly Tribulation.
