Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 419 Refining All Techniques
On Diancui Mountain, in the cave, an invisible divine power permeated the air, outlining a dreamlike realm.

Sitting upright, Jiang Chen's mind quietly settled down. At this moment, he entered Xia Wuyan's perspective and fell into his life, which seemed both real and unreal.

This is a manifestation of the profound mystery of the cultivation technique "Illusory True Concentration Method". This method is based on true meaning and evolves into an illusionary realm where reality and illusion intertwine. It can not only help cultivators quickly digest true meaning, but also temper their minds, strengthen themselves, and find that bit of true nature.

Of course, only when a cultivator successfully breaks free from the illusion of the Illusionary Concentration Technique and finds that bit of reality can the wonder of this technique be brought to its fullest potential; otherwise, its various benefits will be greatly reduced.

At a certain moment, the illusion shattered, and profound insights entered his heart. Jiang Chen opened his eyes.

In that instant, the Primordial Dao Foundation within his body trembled, and all sorts of mysteries unfolded. Suddenly, it transformed into a strange fire well, with raging flames rising from within. This was none other than the Dao Foundation corresponding to the Earth Lung True Flame Scripture.

At the same time, his spirit body changed, and strange patterns emerged in his lungs, resembling spreading flames.

"Is this the power of the foundational level of the Earth Lung True Flame Scripture?"

Sparks flickered between his mouth and nose, and he felt the scorching power emanating from his lungs. Jiang Chen's eyes shifted slightly.

If the art of disguise is a form of imitation or borrowing, and although it is mysterious, it can still be seen through, then Jiang Chen is now a cultivator who has built his foundation through the cultivation of the Earthly Lung True Flame Scripture. Outsiders would find it impossible to distinguish him, because this power is real and undeniable.

"The fundamental mystery of the Primordial Dao Foundation lies in transformation. With sufficient understanding, I can completely transform the Primordial Dao Foundation into the Dao Foundation of the Earth Lung True Flame Scripture."

"Even because my Primordial Dao Foundation is of extremely high quality, the Earth Lung Dao Foundation that it transformed into is even more powerful. If I were to stand with Xia Wuyan now, outsiders might think that I am more like a true disciple of the Jintu Sect than Xia Wuyan."

Sensing the changes within himself, Jiang Chen shook his head.

Transforming the Primordial Dao Foundation into the Earth Lung Dao Foundation actually provides almost no boost to his own combat power. However, this transformation can be quite useful at certain times. Most importantly, Jiang Chen can vaguely sense that after absorbing the true meaning of the Earth Lung True Flame Scripture, the profound mysteries hidden within the Primordial Dao Foundation seem to have been further stimulated.

"The essence of the Primordial Dao Foundation lies in the unity of all phenomena, but how can one achieve unity without seeing all phenomena? The Earth Lung True Flame Scripture seems to have no connection with the Primordial One Qi True Explanation, but it is itself one of the myriad phenomena. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the Primordial Dao Foundation has undergone such changes."

Having discerned the changes in the Primordial Dao Foundation, Jiang Chen had various speculations in his mind.

"To forge all laws and create the primordial Qi?"

A thought arose, and Jiang Chen's heart was touched. At that moment, he felt as if he had grasped the key to cultivating the "Primordial Qi True Scripture".

After a moment, unable to determine whether it was true or false, Jiang Chen brought his thoughts back to the present.

"Whether the fusion of all methods is feasible still needs further verification. We can also try to find the answer within the sect. The Primordial Chaos True Scripture is, after all, one of the core inheritances of the sect. Although there are few people who cultivate it, and even fewer who have achieved success, there should still be some records of it."

As if deep in thought, Jiang Chen began to consider his future cultivation.

If this path is correct, it will definitely be a great thing for him, since he possesses the power to devour souls and can plunder true meanings without having to comprehend them on his own and cultivate painstakingly like others.

"The Illusionary Truth Concentration Technique is truly profound, worthy of being Mo Yuan's masterpiece." After personally experiencing it, Jiang Chen was even more impressed by the profoundness of the Illusionary Truth Concentration Technique. By entering the illusion to seek the truth, Mo Yuan had brought his own soul characteristics to the extreme.

"For me now, the Illusionary Concentration Technique is not only to help me digest the true meaning, but more importantly, to temper my mind and spirit."

As his thoughts turned, the mirror of Jiang Chen's mind, which hung high in his heart, shone with a hazy light. Compared to before, the mirror of his mind was undoubtedly much brighter now, as if a layer of dust had been wiped away.

"Entering illusion to seek truth, one can see one's true self. The Illusion-Truth Concentration Method truly tempers the cultivator's Daoist nature."

As the Mirror of Sensation changed, Jiang Chen's thoughts drifted away.

Tao and human nature are two changes in the human mind. It is said that human nature is easy to change but Tao nature is difficult to increase. Under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult to increase Tao nature quickly. After all, sudden enlightenment is ethereal and elusive. Only through experience and knowledge can it slowly increase under the sculpting of time.

"The growth of my Dao nature is an unexpected joy for me. As a result, I can relax my suppression of the restless mind a little. Perhaps I can try out my previous idea."

Thinking about the special nature of the Mind Monkey, various thoughts flashed through Jiang Chen's mind. Compared to the Dao nature, the growth of human nature is much simpler, as long as it is indulged. However, indulgence is easy but control is difficult, which is determined by the changeable nature of human nature.

Just then, a communication light silently appeared outside Jiang Chen's cave.

Sensing something, Jiang Chen opened the restriction and released the message into the cave.

In the next instant, a flash of inspiration appeared, and the phantom of time materialized.

“Junior Brother Jiang Chen, based on some clues you provided before, our Nian family has investigated carefully and found that the Nian family disciple who revealed your whereabouts is indeed problematic. Under normal circumstances, he would not have access to information about your travels at all. His information most likely came from somewhere else.”

"According to our investigation, he is suspected of having defected to someone, who should be within the Wuchang Sect, but we cannot yet determine who it is."

His words were solemn as he recounted the results of his investigation over the past period, but a hint of hesitation appeared on his face at the end.

“Junior Brother Jiang Chen, you should be careful with Xuan Jiaozi. Although there is no evidence, I suspect that this matter may be related to him. After all, according to the information that my Nian family has, Xuan Jiaozi has always been interested in the inheritance of the Overturning Sea True Monarch.”

Having made up his mind, Nianhua voiced his guess, and after he finished speaking, his illusory inspiration quietly dissipated.

Seeing this scene, Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes. He had been somewhat suspicious of Xuan Jiaozi, after all, Wu Jun'an was related to him, and Nianhua's speculation now further confirmed his thoughts.

"Yuangang Daoist was able to obtain the title of True Lord with the body of a True Person, so his supernatural powers are naturally extraordinary. It is normal for Xuanjiaozi to be interested in his inheritance. I just happened to catch Yuangang Daoist's eye, and naturally became Xuanjiaozi's imagined enemy."

“Wu Jun’an was deliberately released by him to deal with me and to ruin my cultivation. The same applies to the Sanzu Mountain Secret Realm.”

By piecing together the fragments, Jiang Chen was basically certain that Xuan Jiaozi was the real culprit. As for the evidence, that was not important.
