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

Chapter 407 The Three Pure Ones as the Order, the Diversity of the World, the Path of Refining the Spirit
As a time traveler, even if he came from the end times, Zhang Yan could not possibly be unaware of the Tao Te Ching.

The world is vast and profound, and naturally, it is not lacking in similar profound teachings.

However, arranging these five thousand characters in this way, apart from the Tao Te Ching of the previous life, there is no other scripture like this.

When Zhang Yan looked at Qi Lingyun, Qi Lingyun also looked at him and nodded slightly.

She didn't know what had happened, but it was probably related to her two ancestral masters.

Below the level of Dongtian Zhenren, many cultivators only saw a sudden flash of light and heard the vast expanse of the Five Thousand Words of Tao Te Ching.

However, for the cultivators in various grotto-heavens, they sensed an indescribable and inexplicable aura within the chaotic airflow outside the Heavenly Gang, which instantly existed in all parts of the Nine Continents.

This kind of energy seems to be the very foundation of existence; it's as if this kind of energy should have always existed in the world.

It is things, events, laws, and the Way; all the Way and laws, and all things and phenomena, are contained within it.

"Is it a mere appearance? A transformation of the mortal? Or perhaps the ultimate truth?"

At the Jade Cloud Sect, atop the Clear Jade Spirit Cliff, a handsome young man suddenly stood up, gazing at the chaotic swirling hair in the heavens, and uttered a surprised and doubtful voice: "It happened once five hundred years ago, and now it's happening again, yet we can't find any trace of it in the chaos. Who exactly is it?"

This person is Lingya Shangren of the Yuxiao Sect, who has always considered himself the number one cultivator in the Nine Provinces. However, these two chaotic disturbances seem to indicate that someone has achieved a supreme technique, but he is unaware of it.

All of this made him increasingly worried about his plans, and he began to work on them quickly.

Unlike Lingya Shangren, the leaders of the three major sects, Mingcang, Shaoqing, and Mingquan, were not entirely clear about this matter, but they also had their own understanding of it.

Xin Ruyu, who joined Yuxiao Sect, had to seize the cultivation techniques and then defect in order to obtain the inheritance that suited her. However, Lianshan Zhenren, Xueshen Laoren, and Chen Ziqin lived well in these three sects.

At Luo Tianxian's behest, he also revealed some of their secrets to the leaders of the three sects.

After the five thousand moral maxims spread throughout the Nine Provinces, everything returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

However, cultivators from all over the place were discussing it and guessing that a powerful being had ascended to heaven, which was why this situation had occurred.

Amidst the chaos, Zhang Yan received the order from the Mingcang Sect leader to visit the Shaoqing Sect as the sect's chief envoy.

The Shaoqing Sect welcomed us with great ceremony from three thousand miles away. Anyone who enters this realm and is not a disciple of either of our two sects will be expelled and killed. This has been a rare occurrence in the past ten thousand years.

After Zhang Yan joined Shaoqing, he was considered to have joined the "fellow villagers' association," only to find that all the fellow villagers in Shaoqing were female cultivators.

The only male cultivator was Yan Renying, who followed the Blood God Elder of the Netherworld Spring Sect. Due to the conflict between the Xuan and Demonic Realms, he was unable to come.

However, these female cultivators, through their discussions and sword duels with Zhang Yan, also greatly benefited him.

He hadn't expected that, besides his own senior sister Qi Lingyun, who had cultivated the "Cloud Soaring Thousand Swords Scripture," and Li Yingqiong, who had joined Shaoqing to learn the Killing Sword lineage, the other three also possessed astonishing swordsmanship skills.

Their swordsmanship does not fall within Shaoqing's three lineages of killing sword, extreme sword, and transforming sword, yet each has its own merits.

Qi Lingyun's older sister, Qi Xia'er, has an unknown lineage, but her swordsmanship contains an indescribable sense of tribulation, originating from tribulation and escaping from tribulation. Zhang Yan calls it "Tribulation Sword".
Another one, Zhou Qingyun, was also a traitor to the Jade Cloud Sect. His sword was full of illusions, like a dream, a bubble, a dew, or a lightning bolt. Zhang Yan called it the "Illusion Sword".

He guessed that Xin Ruyu, the traitor of Yuxiao who passed on this sword technique to Zhou Qingyun, had also been in the Buddhist sect in his previous life, which is why he combined the methods of Yuxiao to create this sword.

The last one, Yu Yingnan, was a disciple of the rogue cultivator Dongtian Jiayin Zhenren of the Donghai Huanbo Pool. Her swordsmanship contained the birth and death of the five elements and dazzling lightning, which Zhang Yan called "Dharma Sword".

However, Yu Yingnan's inheritance gave him a sense of familiarity, as if it came from the same source as the Tai Xuan Kung Fu he had obtained from his senior brother Zhou Chongju.

In fact, their cultivation methods all originated from the same source.

The source of Jia Yin's cultivation method was the old Taoist who had guided Zhou Chongju and Zhang Yan into the Mingcang.

And this old Taoist was a highly virtuous person who had almost returned to the Great Dao—Xuanzhao Taoist.

Even in this land of deficient Dao in the Nine Provinces, a single thought remains, preventing the spirit of creation from completely seizing its own Dao.

······
While Zhang Yan was meeting with Shao Qing and a group of fellow transmigrators, and while Shao Qing was learning the Sword Face Sword Pill, Feng Xi had already stabilized the Xiang Xiang realm.

At this point, the Netherworld Profound Qi had merged into his own Great Dao and become a part of him. He could temporarily put aside the cultivation of this Qi and begin to turn to the Crimson Chaos Primordial Qi, also known as the Crimson Chaos Primordial Qi.

In other words, he was about to begin practicing the middle section of the "Taishang Sandong Sanyuan Yandao Jing"—the "Dongxuan Lingbao Dedao Jing".

Although the magic he created with the Demon Queen Nuwa and the Pollen Empress was derived from the Three Pure Ones' Way, it differed from the Three Pure Ones they knew.

Whether it's Lingbao Tianzun, whose cultivation level isn't too high in the "Covering the Sky" world, or Lingbao Tianzun, the oldest being on the other side of the "One World's Supreme" world, their Great Dao is actually in the midst of endings and slaughter.

The name "Four Swords of Zhuxian" itself signifies endless killing intent.

However, the Shangqing Dao and Lingbao Dao that Feng Xi cultivates are not like this.

Those who cultivate the Way of Man and begin to enter the ranks of immortals and ascend to the realm of no burdens are initially taught the Divine Treasure Scripture of the Cavern of the Spirit, which is the Taiqing;
Secondly, as wisdom gradually improves and one progresses to the middle realm, the middle teachings use the Dongxuan Lingbao Scripture, which is the Shangqing;

Finally, upon reaching the highest realm, one's wisdom is unhindered, hence the teachings given to the Heavenly Treasure Scripture of the Profound Truth, which is the Jade Purity Realm.

Therefore, the Shangqing in Fengxi's Dao does not represent the Shangqing Lingbao, which signifies the end of the universe and the end of all laws, but rather represents a stage in the cultivation of immortality.

Of course, after cultivation enters the True Yang realm, the Three Pure Ones will continue to evolve, each wielding one of the three Great Daos of Existence, Sacrifice, and Emptiness, but this is unrelated to cultivation at this stage.

After entering the Image Realm, cultivation requires breaking through barriers. The deeper the foundation, the more barriers can be broken through, and the more profound the magical power becomes. Once this realm is reached, one can open up a small cave world. Therefore, Image Realm cultivators are also called Cave World cultivators.

Feng Xi's cave heaven once again became a spiritual platform world, pointing directly to the boundless and mysterious realm.

When he leaves this world in the future, this world can also become a channel for cultivators of this world to enter the boundless and mysterious world and communicate with other worlds.

However, for this Lingtai World to meet Feng Xi's requirements, he needs to achieve the Refining God Realm and transform the Lingtai World into a "Stabilized World".

Feng Xi broke through one barrier every twelve years, and one hundred and forty-four years later, he broke through all twelve barriers, achieved the Primordial Embryo, and became a cultivator at the third level of the Phenomenal Realm.

In fact, the limitations on lifespan in this world are even greater than those in the "Covering the Sky" universe.

A cultivator at the third level of the Nascent Soul stage normally only has a lifespan of three thousand years.

If one fails to transcend the mortal realm and reach the higher realms, one will eventually pass away and have to embark on the path of cultivation again in the next life.

In this respect, it is consistent with the world of Shu Mountain. There is no underworld, but there is reincarnation, and powerful cultivators can even deduce the whereabouts of their relatives, friends, and those with whom they have a karmic connection.

After achieving the Primordial Embryo, Feng Xi and Luo Tianxian continued their cultivation within the Lesser Chaos.

Luo Tianxian has already entered the third level of the Mortal Transformation Realm, severing her future body. She can absorb a massive amount of spiritual energy from the Sea of ​​Yuan Qi. Their cultivation is not lacking in spiritual energy.

Feng Xi also planned to cultivate with Luo Tianxian until they reached the True Yang Realm before emerging from seclusion.

As for the affairs of the Nine Provinces Realm, he doesn't actually need to get involved at all.

In this world, there are no insurmountable dangers, and there is nothing that needs to be reversed. Zhang Yan, the chosen one, has never encountered any danger.

He cultivated his skills from the lowest to the highest level, almost sweeping away all his opponents.

As for the cultivation of the disciples of "Shushan", he didn't need to worry about it.

······
In this world where the Great Dao contends, aside from the addition of some "transmigrators," almost nothing has changed in general.

The chosen one who wields the broken jade has cultivated for about five hundred years and has achieved the realm of supreme Dharma manifestation.

Nearly three hundred years later, the Mingcang Sect initiated the Nine Provinces Calamity, and various sects across the Nine Provinces began to be drawn into the calamity, engaging in the final great battle.

During the great calamity, the Emei sect was established, and suddenly had five avatars: Lianshan Zhenren, Xueshen Laoren, Chen Ziqin, Xin Ruyu, and Jiayin Shenggu, as well as six disciples with Nascent Soul Dharma Bodies: Qi Xiaer, Sanying Eryun, and others.

They did not establish their base in the Nine Provinces Realm, but instead sided with Mingcang, Shaoqing, and Mingquan, defeating Yuxiao and other sects, and together they came to the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Just after the great calamity, Qi Xia'er used the path of calamity within it to achieve the Image Stage, becoming the last Image Stage cultivator in the Nine Continents.

Numerous cultivators, whether familiar or unfamiliar, are preparing to travel from the Nine Provinces Realm, a place lacking in the Dao, to the Mountain and Sea Realm, where they will gradually come into contact with, exchange ideas with, and fight against countless worlds.

Before heading to Xintian, Zhang Yan sought out the cultivators of the Emei Sect and asked them if their "patriarch" also intended to travel there.

“Fellow Daoist Xuan Yuan may not know that since Ancestor Feng left Mingcang, he has been cultivating with Ancestor Luo in the outer chaos, cut off from all news.”

"However, with the strength of the two patriarchs, it would not be difficult for them to find us."

After listening to what Master Lianshan said, Zhang Yan nodded.

When he first attained enlightenment a few years ago, he talked with Master Lianshan about his "previous life," including their spiritual practice.

Of course, even Master Lianshan and the others didn't know about the fact that the Long-Browed Immortal had suppressed countless time tributaries, let alone the layout of the Spirit Void Heaven Realm.

Zhang Yan only knew that the cultivation level of Lian Shan Zhenren and the others in their previous lives was roughly at the Mortal Transformation Realm, and that the Feng Ancestor and Luo Ancestor they mentioned might be at a level above the Mortal Transformation Realm.

Five hundred years after Zhang Yan and the cultivators of the Nine Continents departed, Luo Tianxian achieved True Yang and reached a realm similar to a Quasi-Immortal Emperor in this world.

Three hundred years later, Feng Xi also achieved true yang.

Upon reaching the realm of True Yang, if one stands in one place, there is no need to do anything deliberately. Wherever the power of magic covers, heaven and earth will turn according to its will, and all things will be born according to their nature.

What you desire will gradually come to pass, while what you abhor will naturally be prevented by the workings of Heaven and will never reappear. If what happens is beyond the control of the True Yang, then it can only mean that you have encountered another True Yang.

True Yang cultivators can create their own realms and realms; countless worlds are born and destroyed in the blink of an eye, and the birth and death of the universe is also within the control of a single thought of True Yang.

This realm was not unfamiliar to Feng Xi and Luo Tianxian; it was the power of a quasi-immortal emperor.

However, Zhenyang has one thing in common with Quasi-Immortal Emperors: the cultivation of this system has a definite path to follow.

Most cultivators who have just entered the True Yang stage will have clones causing trouble because they cannot fully control their own magical power and thoughts.

Therefore, the cultivation of the second realm mostly involves subduing one's own thoughts of magical power.

Cultivators like Feng Xi and Luo Tianxian, who had experienced the life-or-death struggle of the "Covering the Sky" method and the unity of self and other in the "Supreme One in This World" method, almost directly entered the third realm as soon as they achieved True Yang.

The third level of True Yang involves reaching a state of boundless emptiness and limitlessness by drawing upon the essence of creation or one's own understanding of the Daoist principles of creation, allowing for endless cycles and inexhaustible use.

The power of magic has no upper limit and is boundless. Without the constraints of "emptiness", one's own existence and the existence of heaven and earth are no longer intertwined, but rather one has broken free from them.

If we compare heaven and earth to a dwelling, then even if the dwelling no longer exists, it will not affect us in the slightest. If the mind arises, we can rebuild the divine court; if the mind is still, then all existence is illusory.

"The third level of True Yang already has many characteristics of an Immortal Emperor, so the connection between different realms is particularly strong in this cultivation."

"In our region, Quasi-Immortal Emperors are already forging their own paths, and as for Immortal Emperors, they only know the characteristics of this realm and cannot tell their descendants how to achieve it."

After experiencing the third level of True Yang, Luo Tianxian couldn't help but sigh.

Upon hearing this, Feng Xi shook his head and sighed, "In that world, cultivation has just begun to show promise when the Great Sacrifice of All Worlds is about to take place, turning all worlds into ruins."

"I don't know how many geniuses perished in the Highland Sacrifice before they even had a chance to rise to prominence."

"As long as the darkness and strangeness can be completely quelled in the future, future generations of cultivators will be able to continuously create new paths and continue the broken magic, just like the cultivators here, who will always be able to see where the road ahead lies."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tianxian nodded in deep agreement, then glanced in the direction of the Mountain and Sea Realm, only to see that the Emei Sect had already been established and even had many disciples and grand-disciples.

Although it is not as powerful as the Mingcang and Shaoqing sects, it is no weaker than the Mingquan sect.

"Let's go, we should go find the path to achieving the Refinement of the Gods."

The Refining Spirit Realm is equivalent to the Other Shore Realm and the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Let alone Feng Xi's previous cultivation level, which was only Quasi-Immortal Emperor and Creation Perfection, even Luo Tianxian, a former Immortal Emperor and Beyond Shore, had to carefully consider how to achieve the Refinement of God.

Fortunately, back in the Void Land, Feng Xi and the two most ancient and sacrificial beings, the Demon Queen Nuwa and the Pollen Empress, had deduced his method of achieving the Refinement of Godhood.

Otherwise, he might not have been able to enter the Refining Spirit stage faster than Zhang Yan.

After all, the remnant jade of this chosen one is not just for deducing cultivation techniques, but can also be used to cultivate oneself, finding all the wrong paths and detours in the cultivation process.
