Chapter 296 Three Levels

"Taiyi's command... all things are invisible..."

The exact same method was used to dissolve Taoist Yunchi's method once again, and it was even easier than before.

Part of the reason was that the many exotic principles that Chu Tai mastered collided, assimilated, and eroded with the prototype of Yun Chi Taoist's Dao Fruit. On the other hand, his [Magic Master] began to preliminarily analyze Yun Chi's Dao Fruit prototype through erosion and connection, allowing him to better deal with the opponent's methods.

Taoist Yunchi, who also noticed these changes, immediately changed his battle strategy.

A wisp of clear air appeared above Taoist Yunchi's head. A faint and strange fragrance gradually filled the void. Ethereal music came from the void. At the same time, a crystal clear lotus was born from the void, and countless petals fell as it opened and closed.

Then, clear and misty clouds spread from under Taoist Yunchi's feet, covering everything around him.

"Yun Chi has actually come this far!"

Taoist Youkan took a deep breath. The characteristic of the wonderful realm of heaven and man is the complete integration of the Three Treasures. The Taoist principles and laws that are mastered can rely on one's own Dharma intentions to form the so-called prototype of the Taoist fruit.

The specific realm can be roughly divided into three steps. The first level is just mastered and entered into this realm. For example, Chu Tai at this moment can be considered to have barely obtained the power of this realm with the help of Tao fruit fragments and the power of blessed land.

The second level is to fully master one's own power and complete the sorting and integration of one's own Dharma and principles. Youkan Taoist and Yuguifang both belong to this level.

The final third level is to go a step further on this basis, advancing into the past and the future, or tracing back upward.

This process can be simply understood as becoming the root or tracing the root.

After all, in the worldview of Taoism, everything in the world is born from Qi, and Qi is created out of nothing.

Therefore, creating something out of nothing and revealing the truth in the false is the most important characteristic of Qi, and it is also the basis for the existence and change of all things in the universe.

Whether it is the records of the Jinhua Sect, the Yinjing Sect, the Mingchen School, or the Youkan Sect, they all clearly state that all things are nothing more than different manifestations of Qi in the form, quality, and body of the human world.

The changes in all magic techniques and supernatural powers are ultimately due to people's use of form, quality and body in the human world.

Therefore, at the end of practice, the cultivator must find the Qi that best suits him or her, or create the Qi that best suits him or her, and this is the third level of practice in the Heavenly Realm.

This level of practice will run through all subsequent practices until one's own Qi is sublimated to the most mysterious level, transcending the material world, blending into all things, being born before heaven and earth, and even transcending all constraints and blending with the Tao.

At that time, cultivators will be able to get infinitely close, and even become beings like the Dao Lords in Daluo Heaven.

After all, the Taoist scriptures clearly record that many of the innate true saints and post-saint emperors in Daluo Heaven were formed from the mixture of one Qi.

Even the legendary Lord of Dao and Virtue, Lord Yuanhuang and Lord Yuchen are based on the Three Qi of Xuanyuan.

It is precisely this particularity that makes the third level of cultivation in the Heavenly Realm, although not necessarily superior to the second level in terms of combat power, far superior in terms of grasping the secrets of heaven, controlling everything, and the ability to resist many negative states.

This is also the difference between many orthodox Taoist teachings and their unorthodox practices.

At this stage, the orthodox sects of Xuanmen have more or less received guidance from their predecessors, and even the wonderful Qi left by their predecessors as a reference. At worst, there are ancestors in heaven and earth to help stabilize, while the unorthodox sects can only try on their own, and have no idea what they will eventually create or what direction they will trace back to.

"No, if she really achieved this level of wonder, she wouldn't have to get entangled with us. Besides, her vitality that was shaken by the lightning bead is not in a stable state."

Chu Tai stared at the wisp of clear air above the other person's head and shouted to Taoist Youkan, "She must not dare to persist for too long, otherwise she will be affected by the principles of the foreign land, and hundreds of years of hard work will be wasted."

Hearing this, Taoist Youkan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, while Taoist Yunchi said indifferently: "But the premise is that you can infect my fundamental true qi during this period of time."

She swung her long sleeves, and this time she didn't use any fancy tricks, but directly crushed her with her magic power.

Accompanied by deafening thunder, countless golden flames, carrying a mysterious chill, rushed downwards like a tsunami, and raged in all directions halfway, filling the void within hundreds of miles, suppressing the circulation of the earth veins, and curbing the power of the blessed land.

Yu Guifang, who was about to rush back from afar, stopped instantly, hid aside, and dared not get closer.

Taoist Youkan was startled. The giant dragon under his feet stirred up countless waves that rushed upwards, colliding with thunder and fire, and opposing the cold air, forming whirlpools of gold, blue, gray, white, purple or green.

The many vital energies constantly collided, differentiated, and intertwined in it, forming thousands of tiny whirlpools that rubbed against each other.

Chu Tai also waved the Nine-Section Staff, trying to dissolve his magical powers, but this time, the ability of [Jijiu] was greatly restricted. Although he was able to dissolve some of the thunder, fire and cold air, most of the time, Chu Tai was also powerless against the changes in the Yuan Qi that had infected the Taoist principles and laws of Yunchi.

To put it bluntly, a cultivator who has reached the realm of heaven and man has the ability to influence the surrounding environment. When it reaches the third level, its true Qi itself has a very strong corrosive ability, but it is usually restrained by the cultivator. If it is really released, the impact on the outside world may not be inferior to that of the Dao Fruit fragments.

Therefore, while Chu Tai was eroding the opponent, he also felt a Shaoqing attribute of true Qi of at least the fourth grade quality influencing his own power in the opposite direction.

Multiple Dharma principles are added to it, with the Dharma principle of [One] as the core, combined with the power of [Jijiu], to collide and confront with it.

Soon, Chu Tai gave up on this kind of collision, because he found that in the fierce fight, the qi of Yun Chi and You Kan were interlocked, and the strength was pushed up layer by layer under repeated collisions, and no one had the energy to restrain the aftermath of the collision of forces.

For a moment, within a radius of a thousand miles, the forces of thunder, fire, gold and water shook violently, and the violent impact and void shock spread rapidly in all directions. If it was not stopped, the surrounding earth veins would inevitably collapse, and the law would inevitably be damaged.

With a wave of the nine-section staff, clear air fell from the sky, and the magic of [Mountain and River] blessed the earth veins. The power of [Jijiu] summoned the spirits of mountains and rivers, forming a thin light to resist the impact of the outside world.

Afterwards, the nine-section staff formed by the fragments of the Dao fruit and the power of the blessed land slipped out of his hand and fell into the hands of Taoist Youkan, allowing him to better mobilize the power of the surrounding mountains and waters and the power of the blessed land so as not to be defeated by the magic weapon.

Upon seeing this, Yu Guifang's Dharma image behind him also grew rapidly, and he waved his four arms to protect the area.

And slowly, Taoist Youkan gradually fell down.

Although his cultivation level was certainly not as good as the other party, and his magical weapons and supernatural powers were three points inferior, but Chu Tai saw clearly that the more important thing was that his own authentic Xuanmen qi meridians were long-lasting, and the special nature of his method had infinite stamina, which gradually suppressed the power of Taoist Youkan.

As for Taoist Youkan, although the foreign Taoist principles and laws had been tempered enough in repeated collisions and were gradually digested by him, the process of digestion was inherently hurtful to both himself and others. Without enough rest time, it would be difficult for him to continue to persevere. If he continued to fight like this, let alone fight with Taoist Yunchi, it would be a problem whether he could continue to maintain his current stable state.
