Chapter 190: Cutting Shape Method

Seeing this, Chu Tai spoke up to smooth things over.

"Don't worry, fellow Daoist. Let's listen to Fellow Daoist Zhengyang's explanation of the whole story. I know Fellow Daoist Zhengyang well. He is not someone who intends to provoke others."

Zhengyang nodded quickly and then recounted his recent experiences.

It turned out that after the affairs in Chu State were over, Taoist Zhengyang lost the trace of Chu Tai, so after waiting for a while, he continued his own practice alone.

When talking about the Taoist Zhengyang's way of cultivation, we have to mention the "Sun Pill Morning Light Sutra" he practiced.

The methods of this sutra belong to the orthodox Xuanmen school, but are limited by the fact that the person who founded the sutra in the past ascended to heaven early, used his primordial spirit to conceive a baby, received the summons from heaven, entered the 72 palaces as a celestial official, and stopped at the fifth rank, with no hope of ascending to the immortal path.

Also, because the creator of the scripture ascended to heaven early, it recorded many of his inspirations after he realized the Daluo Sky Light. The fifth-grade True Qi Sun Pill Morning Light passed down is very pure in True Qi, and has many characteristics of fourth-grade True Qi.

This directly resulted in the fact that the Chenxihua True Qi in the Sun Pill had basically no possibility of being perfectly transformed into the other four levels of True Qi, forcing Taoist Zhengyang to seek other methods, hoping to supplement his own methods with the help of other classics.

This was also the reason why he wanted to trade some inherited books from Chu Tai when he was in the State of Chu.

In the end, his idea was perfectly missed because Chu Tai chose to live in seclusion after his return. It was this missed opportunity that made Taoist Zhengyang determined to pursue his subsequent path of cultivation.

Abandon the highest Dharma meaning [Danyang Dawn] recorded in the "Sun Dan Dawn Hua Sutra", and instead combine the next level with your own understanding of refining equipment to walk your own path.

It is not an easy thing to find a path that suits you.

Otherwise, the lineage of Taoist Min Yuan would not have taken thousands of years to summarize the Dharma idea of ​​"the intersection of gold and fire to cast a seal to suppress the mountain."

Chu Tai would not have been so poor that he still could not find the Dharma meaning that best suited him after mastering the inheritance of two sects of the Taiyi lineage and obtaining three Dharma meanings from the Dao fruit fragments and the land of Chu.

Many immortals who have been famous for a long time all started with simple Dharma ideas when they were at the fifth level, and then slowly expanded their concepts. This is one of the reasons why many fifth-level cultivators would be killed by sixth-level cultivators holding suitable magic weapons.

To put it bluntly, the meaning of the Dharma is too shallow and it is difficult to support a sufficiently strong status, resulting in limited magical powers and being unable to create an essential difference from a sixth-grade cultivator.

Only when one reaches the fourth level, the meaning of the Dharma is expanded, and one's own status reaches that of a celestial being, can one basically get rid of the hidden dangers left over from one's early years.

However, this process is just like when Chu Tai and Guo Shan were chatting about the difference between the Xuanmen and the side door. If one is not careful, one may stray into a secluded valley and lose the way. If one is even less lucky, one may even end up on a dead end or climb the wrong mountain.

Therefore, if there are Dharma principles guided by predecessors, everyone will still choose to practice the corresponding Dharma principles, especially the complete and authentic practice methods of Xuanmen.

Taoist Zhengyang's practice of abandoning the Dharma of [Danyang Dawn] and instead using the Dharma of [Danyang Fire] as the foundation is regarded in the cultivation world as a shift from the orthodox Xuanmen to a side path.

Unless in the future, Taoist Zhengyang ascends to Daluo Heaven by relying on the cultivation system he has completed, he can enter the Taoist temples of various Taoist monarchs, or the Tianzhen Taoist temples under several special Taoist monarchs to listen to lectures, and allow the subsequent cultivators who practice the method he founded to enter these Taoist temples to listen to lectures after ascension, and even when they are at the fifth level, they can leave their bodies, travel to Daluo, and enter such Taoist temples to listen to lectures.

Otherwise, even if his martial arts could ascend to the fourth or even third level, it would still belong to the side sect, not the orthodox Xuanmen.

Chu Tai, knowing the choice made by Taoist Zhengyang, was somewhat emotional: "This is not an easy road to take. I wonder if you have chosen the direction for the future?"

Upon hearing this, Taoist Zhengyang was a little excited and said, "I didn't have any ideas at first, but some time ago I met Yang Wenjing, the Qingli Wealth Immortal who is known as the God of Wealth among the people. Senior Yang, under his guidance, I understood a little bit of the law of Wanbao Ruyi. I am planning to polish the gold fire, with Danyang Lihuo as the core, to create a Wanbao Wonderful Fire, which can refine the vitality and materials between heaven and earth at will and transform them into magic weapons." "Refining magic weapons at one time sounds a little similar to the method of Zhushan Sect. The green bamboo magic weapons of Zhushan Sect are ripened at one time, and most of the spiritual charm inside is incomplete, or several acres of green bamboo share a complete spiritual charm. Therefore, when they refine magic weapons, they will choose to refine several acres of green bamboo at one time, and release hundreds or thousands of flying swords."

After Chu Tai finished speaking, Mo Zhi asked curiously, "Is this why you chose to communicate with Zhushan Sect?"

"Yes, as for the person I offended a few days ago, it was also for this reason. That fellow Taoist should be from the side branch of Mount Wutai. The sect has inherited a special method of refining flying swords. It is said that it is a simplified version of the side branch's top flying sword, the Bailing Immortal Sword."

Taoist Zhengyang answered honestly and added a sentence.

"Let me make it clear first. They came to me to discuss weapon refining at the beginning. I looked at their ideas and felt that their idea was too evil. They actually thought of using human souls as a substitute. They also said that they would leave a soul-imprisoning magic in the flying sword to save the souls in the sword while killing others. What kind of evil method is this?"

Seeing the angry look on Taoist Zhengyang's face, Chu Tai nodded and said, "I remember that Taibai Immortal Sect also has a similar method, driving hundreds of ghosts into sword lights, but their method is to use their own sword intent to cut off the dead souls and resentment, transcend the true spirit and drive the resentment. It is almost a murderous intent of heaven and man, and it requires extremely high cultivation. It is essentially a magical power. I haven't heard of it being condensed into a flying sword."

"Yes! Yes! Yes! They also said so, saying that their philosophy originated from a certain immortal sect. Now it seems to be the Taibai Immortal Sect."

Taoist Zhengyang nodded repeatedly, and then became even more angry and said: "So I told them that instead of thinking about replacing a hundred spirits with a hundred souls, it would be more interesting to collect the essence of a hundred flowers, mix the characteristics of the four seasons, twelve months and twenty-four solar terms, and sacrifice a hundred flowers to kill the soul sword. I even helped them figure out some sacrifice techniques, but I don't know why they were so angry."

When Mo Zhi heard this, he couldn't help but curse, "Who are these people? You didn't do anything wrong. Next time you see them, you don't have to be polite. We five scattered people are not vegetarians."

In contrast, Chu Tai frowned slightly and couldn't help asking one more question: "What is the fundamental method of this Wutai side door practice? Is it the Gengxin Metal Path, or the Yinhun Path?"

Chu Tai said this based on the other party's modification of the Bailing Immortal Sword, but he never expected that Taoist Zhengyang shook his head and said, "Neither of them. They claim that they practiced in the Immortal Palm Valley. Although the characteristics of their magic power are more cold and dead, they are not gold or ghost. I recommended them to refine the Hundred Flowers Flying Sword, hoping to use the essence of the Hundred Flowers to neutralize the cold and deadly intent in their bodies."

"Hundred flowers belong to Yi wood, which follows Jia wood and develops all things, giving rise to endless life. From what you said, it is quite appropriate. From this point of view, apart from the possible lack of language expression, it is indeed the other party who is wrong."

Chu Tai nodded, glanced at Mo Ruo who also agreed with him, and had a general understanding of the emergence of Zhengyang's character.

Afterwards, Chu Tai asked about the conflict between Zheng Yang and Zhu Shan Sect.

"After I parted ways with the guy from Xianzhanggou, I wandered around the mountains casually, trying to find some materials to refine some magic weapons. Then, by sheer coincidence, I ran into Fu Xiaoshan and the other guy who were communicating."

"What are they communicating about?"

Chu Tai felt that this was the problem.

Zhengyang thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "I remember that they seemed to be exchanging magic skills at the beginning? But after seeing me, they began to talk about their own methods of refining weapons. I found it interesting, so I went up to talk to them, and then you know what happened."

"So, the core of the conflict now is the content of their communication at that time? But if they were communicating in secret, why did they communicate openly in public? Fellow Daoist, can you describe the specific situation at that time and recall what they said at that time?"

After hearing this, Zheng Yang thought for a long time before he said uncertainly, "I remember the surrounding environment was a little special, a bit like some simple formations after the formation of natural treasures. I thought there was some natural treasure in the formation, so I went in carefully. After seeing them, I remember what Dan Jing said at that time?"

"Oh, yes, this method is a branch of the Jiu Tian Du Zhuan magic method. Yes, this is the sentence. This is what I heard last."

Chu Tai heard this and instantly understood the whole story. Just to be on the safe side, he asked again, "Nine Heavens Cloud Seal Form-Cutting Magical Technique?"
