The Supreme Being of the World, Starting from the Heaven-shattering Fuxi

Chapter 406 The Five Innate Virtues Prove the Dharma Body, Five Thousand Daoist Sayings Astound the World

Donghua Continent, Mingcang Sect, Yuanmiao Grotto Heaven.

Feng Xi cultivated here for decades, going directly from the initial stage of Foundation Establishment to the critical point of achieving the Nascent Soul Dharma Body.

The Nascent Soul is formed when the Golden Elixir absorbs the essence of heaven and earth, reaching its limit.

Once one achieves the Nascent Soul stage and three aura clouds appear above their head, they can converge to form a Dharma Body, becoming no different from a True Person of the Form, and possessing the art of sealing heaven and earth.

The Dharmakaya is divided into four levels from low to high: Hidden Form, Transcending Spirit, Illuminating, and Original Truth. The Hidden Form Dharmakaya has no visible form.

Feng Xi took the Taiqing Mingji Xuantong Yuanqi as his foundation and condensed the Taiqing Xuanguang. He achieved the Dao and established his foundation in the world, naturally achieving the highest level of Yuanzhen Dharma Body.

Throughout his body, five kinds of innate energy separated from the profound and mysterious primordial energy, each with different colors and shapes.

This pervasive aura caused the entire Mingcang Sect to witness the changes, drawing all eyes to the area.

The first type of energy is formed by the rotation and fusion of black and white into the shape of Tai Chi. However, its core is not Tai Chi itself, but rather the innate moral energy that manifests through Tai Chi.

The interplay of Yin and Yang is called the Way; the cycle of life and nourishment is called Virtue; the essence of morality lies in Heaven and Earth.

Immediately after the innate moral energy appeared, another kind of energy began to emerge, which was a chilling white aura.

"The innate virtue of virtue".

Outside the Yuanmiao Cave Heaven, Master Lianshan and his disciple Qi Lingyun were keeping watch. After seeing the changes in the energy inside, he spoke to Qi Lingyun.

Qi Lingyun asked in surprise, "Does the Patriarch intend to achieve the Dharma Body using the innate Five Virtues?"

"That's how it should be."

After Master Lianshan finished speaking, the third type of Qi appeared.

The intense, dark yellow light was dazzling; this was the aura of innate merit.

Following the dark yellow aura of merit, boundless purple aura filled the sky, representing the innate aura of blessings and virtues.

Among these four innate energies, a kind of energy that contains hidden golden light but is colorless and intangible gradually arises, which is the innate sage energy.

Thus, the five innate virtues appeared together and merged with the profound and mysterious primordial energy, forming a figure outside Feng Xi's body.

However, upon closer inspection, it does not appear to be a pure human body, but rather a Daoist Qi that was formed before the formless, before the beginning of time, and moved in the primordial chaos, floating through the six voids, entering and exiting the netherworld, observing the undifferentiated mixture, and peering at the undifferentiated turbidity and purity.

"I comprehend the profound laws within the Five Virtues, and roam freely in the boundless chaos. With both hands I encompass the world beyond, and with my heart I transcend all paths."

After reciting these four lines aloud, Feng Xi suddenly soared into the sky with a golden light, flying beyond the heavens and earth. Without looking back, he disappeared into the territory of the Mingcang Sect.

The cultivators of the Mingcang Sect, especially the True Immortals of the Cave Heavens, were all astonished to see this cultivator rising from the Yuanmiao Cave Heaven without even glancing at them.

Leaving aside the fact that the aura of this Nascent Soul Dharma Body True Person is almost no less than that of a Phenomenal Realm cultivator, it is quite bizarre.

It's a bit unreasonable that he didn't even say goodbye to his "master" when he left after cultivating in the Mingcang Sect for many years.
Outside the Yuanmiao Cave, Lianshan Zhenren and Qi Lingyun, after hearing Feng Xi's modified poem, simultaneously bowed in the direction she had left.

Then, Master Qin's disciple came over and invited True Man Lianshan to the main hall of the sect.

Without hesitation, Master Lianshan took Qi Lingyun with him to pay their respects to Qin Mobai, the head of the Mingcang Sect.

None of the cultivators in the Mingcang Sect knew what he had said to Sect Leader Qin, and the matter was left unresolved, with Sect Leader Qin never mentioning it again.

Next, the focus of all the cultivators of the Mingcang Sect was on the upcoming Sixteen Sects Sword Battle.

Feng Xi naturally had no desire to concern himself with these human conflicts. He directly used his Nascent Soul Dharma Body cultivation to break through the Heavenly Gang and arrive at the outer chaos beyond the Nine Continents.

Luo Tianxian cultivated in this very place, constantly absorbing the spiritual energy of the Purple Clarity.

He did not use the Boundary-Breaking Ship, but relied solely on his physical strength to withstand the immense power of the Heavenly Gang and arrived at Luo Tianxian's location.

"Brother-in-law, are you also planning to achieve the realm of image-manifestation in the heavens?"

Luo Tianxian had known for more than a decade that Feng Xi had also descended to the Nine Continents Realm to begin his cultivation. She did not disturb him, nor did she continue her seclusion. Instead, she waited for Feng Xi to come.

“That’s right. The Nine Provinces are a place where the Dao is lacking, while the area outside the Nine Provinces is covered by the Great Dao. Cultivating in the midst of lack and abundance is most suitable for “transmigrators” like us.”

Whether it's Feng Xi or Luo Tianxian, their cultivation of this world's system can only be considered as a sideline.

They aim to achieve their goals through the integration and fusion of different systems.

At this time, Luo Tianxian's cultivation had reached the second level of the Mortal Transformation Realm, and she had severed her past self.

The next step is to sever the body of the future, allowing the future to undergo infinite changes, evolving the changes between the past and the future, wandering between the past and the future, with the root and fruit constantly shifting, able to come and go freely according to the will of its master.

After this step is completed, she will be able to achieve true yang.

Feng Xi asked her about her cultivation path in this world and discovered that his sister-in-law had taken a different path from him. She had actually used Buddhist methods to carry the emptiness of the "Supreme Being of the World" method and the sacrifice of the "Covering the Sky" method.

Feng Xi felt there was absolutely no problem with this line of thinking, not to mention Kong Zi.

In the infinite world, the Buddhist teachings emphasize the emptiness of enlightenment and the tranquility of Nirvana. The "guidance" that Luo Tianxian seeks to verify is also a manifestation of Buddhism.

In Luo Tianxian's understanding, the sacrificial ceremony is actually the guidance after Nirvana.

Feng Xi couldn't say whether this understanding was right or wrong. Every cultivator would have a different understanding of the Great Dao. If they thought it was right, they would simply follow it.

"Brother, Gain has already cultivated to the Mortal Transformation Realm. Like me back then, she sensed a guiding force from beyond the heavens. Should we let her enter it?"

Feng Xi did not expect that while the disciples who had joined the sect were still in the Xiangxiang realm, the Holy Maiden Jiayin, who was cultivating as a rogue cultivator, had entered the mortal transformation realm ahead of time.

He thought for a moment and said, "That place is a dead end, but there is a mysterious stone left there. Let her decide whether to go in or not."

Within the Nine Provinces Realm, mortal cultivators from the four sects of Mingcang, Shaoqing, Yuxiao, and Mingquan who wish to ascend and leave can follow the guidance of their respective sect's founders to reach the Hun Tian realm created by those Daoists.

However, cultivators from sects outside the four major sects, or independent cultivators, after ascending, will enter a "prison realm" prepared by a cultivator known as the Nameless One.

The spiritual energy there is scarce. Once a cultivator enters, they can only rely on the spiritual energy they carry with them to cultivate. Once the spiritual energy is used up, they will slowly fall into silence.

Only Shen Chongzhen of the Jiuzhou Guangyuan Sect, by constantly gambling with cultivators who ascended before and after him and winning the Purple Clarity Spiritual Machine from his opponents, was able to survive.

Feng Xi roughly explained the situation in the "Prison Realm" to Luo Tianxian. Luo Tianxian nodded slightly, flicked her finger, and sent out a stream of light towards the overseas territory of Donghua Continent.

The Illusionary Wave Pool, rebuilt by Saintess Gain, is located on the East Sea.

Not only was she there, but Xin Ruyu, who had defected from the Jade Cloud Sect, was also currently cultivating in the Illusionary Wave Pool. "Is that so?"

Upon receiving Luo Tianxian's message, Saintess Jiayin frowned and discussed it with Xin Ruyu.

"Zhou Huanyuan Jade, the foundation for achieving enlightenment, is indeed tempting."

However, Saintess Gain shook her head in the end: "It's hard to say whether we can get that Xuan Stone, but even if we do, I'm afraid we won't be able to follow our two teachers to their world."

Compared to the allure of the Xuan Stones on their path to cultivation, the prospect of following Feng Xi and Luo Tianxian to explore another world was far more tempting.

Xin Ruyu nodded: "What you say is exactly what I think."

Back in the "Shushan" world, the five of them had already chosen Feng Xi's unorthodox path to enlightenment, and now they also want to continue cultivating under Feng Xi's guidance.

"She has no intention of ascending to the 'Prison Realm' you mentioned."

"It was a smart decision."

Feng Xi smiled faintly. He didn't think that with Saintess Gain's qualifications and current strength, she could defeat the founder of the Guangyuan Sect, who won resources through constant gambling and eventually ascended to immortality.

Afterwards, Feng Xi continued his cultivation with the help of the vast amount of spiritual energy provided by Luo Tianxian.

In fact, for him, there were no obstacles before he started cultivating again and refining his spirit in this life. It was just a matter of spending resources and time on the slow and steady process.

He was already capable of reaching the Xiangxiang realm when he was with the Mingcang Sect, but he lacked inspiration and it was temporarily suppressed.

Now that I've arrived at Luo Tianxian's place, I'm about to begin breaking through to the realm of the Image Realm.

As Nascent Soul and Dharma Body cultivators continuously improve their Daoist techniques and reach their peak, if their foundation is solid and their Daoist cultivation is profound, they can attempt to achieve the Manifestation Form using the Fourth-Rank Method. Failure may result in damage to their Daoist foundation, making it difficult to attempt the Manifestation Form again, or even death on the spot.

There are roughly four methods for practitioners to refer to.

The lower method involves borrowing tools and spirits to achieve results. However, if the spiritual energy is not in harmony with oneself, it is difficult to improve. But the combat power is not necessarily weak. Those who combine it with a true killing weapon are extremely powerful.
The Chinese method borrows the pure and impure spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the essence of ascended immortals, and one's own fortune to break through the barriers and create a form.

The method involves examining oneself, strengthening one's resolve, seeking that sliver of opportunity to break through to a higher realm, and waiting for a spiritual connection to arise in one's heart to absorb a vast amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth to achieve enlightenment.
The ultimate path is for cultivators to understand themselves, comprehend the natural order, first understand the ultimate principles, and clearly comprehend the origins and causes of existence. Once they find their own path, they can resonate with heaven and earth. When they attain this, heaven and man interact and merge, and then the spirit manifests the truth, and the wind and clouds seem to whisper. This is what is meant by following the laws of heaven and earth.

Luo Tianxian followed the path of supreme law, while the other five cultivators from "Shushan" all used superior law.

What Feng Xi wanted to achieve was, of course, the ultimate Dharma.

In the desolate land, he, along with the Demon Queen Nuwa, the Pollen Empress, and the audience of the great virtuous beings, examined the cultivation of this realm from a higher perspective.

This step of achieving the desired image is actually the most important foundation-laying step.

Of course, this foundation-building process also requires the initial first-grade golden elixir and primordial true body as a basis.

As can be seen from Zhang Yan, when he achieved this, he claimed, "I am willing to wield a sword to slay countless calamities and transform the ruthless into a compassionate world."

He continued to uphold this foundation throughout his subsequent journey.

Whether it was the first great calamity in the Nine Provinces, leading all cultivators into the Mountain and Sea Realm; or after achieving the True Yang Realm, leading all the True Yang cultivators of the Human Path to reclaim the foundation of the present world, Buxu Heaven, from the demon cultivators; or after achieving Great Virtue, as the final player, completely annihilating the Spirit of Creation.

All of this is an extension of Cheng Xiangxiang's single thought, and also his destiny as the master of the "One of the Escaped" Remnant Jade.

Feng Xi's foundation is different from Zhang Yan's; what he needs is a law that can connect all ages and eliminate all calamities.

Therefore, Feng Xi's Dao is that all Daos exist and all cultivations are carried out simultaneously.

The Way of Taiqing is the ultimate limit of the finite; the Way of Shangqing carries the "sacrifice"; the Way of Yuqing carries the "emptiness".

······
Zhang Yan of the Mingcang Sect achieved the Yuanzhen Dharma Body and entered the third level of the Nascent Soul realm, becoming the head of the new ten disciples of the Mingcang Sect.

At this moment, many fellow disciples were congratulating him at Zhaoyou Heavenly Pool. Even his three senior brothers and sisters, Qi Yuntian, Qi Lingyun, and Huo Xuan, who were recognized as soon as possible to become Cave Heaven True Persons, came.

It's rare to see Zhaoyou Tianchi so lively.

Qi Lingyun looked at Zhang Yan's disciples, especially his eldest disciple Liu Yanyi and second disciple Tian Kun, whose talents were extraordinary, and couldn't help but admire them.

"If Junior Sister Lingyun is willing, she can also take in a few disciples as a trace of the Lianshan lineage in Mingcang."

Qi Yuntian, the "crown prince" of Mingcang and the future sect leader, naturally knew that Lianshan Zhenren and his disciple Qi Lingyun would leave Mingcang after the great calamity and establish their own sect.

However, he still suggested that Qi Lingyun leave behind a legacy within the Mingcang Sect as a bridge for future communication between the two sects.

Qi Lingyun smiled and said, "This matter still depends on the master's opinion."

On many occasions, Qi Lingyun referred to Lianshan Zhenren as "Master," but almost none of the cultivators of the Mingcang Sect understood the meaning of his words.

Only Zhang Yan, this "fellow villager," seemed thoughtful, guessing that Lian Shan Zhenren was very likely a "monk" before his time travel.

Unfortunately, in the Nine Provinces, there is only the Xuanmen (Taoist sect), but no Buddhist sect.

"I heard that Junior Brother is going to visit the Shaoqing Sect?"

Almost everyone in the faction knew that Zhang Yan was to be sent to Shaoqing as the chief envoy of Mingcang.

"Yes, what advice do you have for me, Senior Sister?"

Qi Lingyun smiled and said, "I dare not presume to offer my guidance, but I have a few sisters who are also guests at Shaoqing and would like to accompany you, Junior Brother."

"Of course, Sister Yu just followed along the way without revealing her presence."

Zhang Yan knew that there were two fellow "time travelers" in the Shaoqing Sect, one of whom was Chen Ziqin, one of the great masters of Shaoqing.

He naturally did not object to Qi Lingyun's request, and he also wanted to see what kind of strength the other "fellow villagers" were.

After they agreed, they continued drinking and talking about the past.

Suddenly, the entire sky brightened, turning what was once darkness into daylight.

A dazzling light shone forth, seemingly from beyond the heavens, its brilliance surpassing even the sunlight.

After the light flashed and disappeared, a vast, ethereal voice seemed to echo in the void.

"The Tao that can be spoken of is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. Nothingness is the origin of Heaven and Earth; Being is the name of all things..."

Upon hearing this voice, Zhang Yan's face immediately showed an even stranger expression as he looked at Qi Lingyun beside him.
