Entering the Investiture of the Gods, starting by controlling the three calamities of wind and thund

As the saying goes, one should not serve two hosts!

"Fellow Daoist Xin Huan came to my East Sea Dragon Palace and obtained a treasure that recognized its master, thus acquiring a melee weapon!"

"I see you're missing an armor set, and luckily I happen to have one on hand!"

"Today I present this armor along with the other items; may its fame spread in the future, and it will become a celebrated story!"

Ao Guang immediately clapped his hands, and then shrimp soldiers and crab generals carried a set of precious armor forward and placed it on the table.

"If we didn't have this treasure, that would be fine!"

"Now that I have obtained this item and possess this divine weapon, I am unworthy to receive this precious armor."

Xin Huan waved his hand and immediately spoke again.

"Fellow Daoist, I hope you will accept this item!"

"This beast-faced, head-swallowing chainmail is a rare item in my collection, belonging to the category of acquired magical treasures."

"This armor is made of the armor plates of the Iron-backed Golden Centipede, which are difficult to damage from swords and blades, and are also impervious to water and fire."

"Initially, this Iron-backed Golden Centipede intended to devour the dragon's energy and transform into a five-clawed golden dragon. Unfortunately, the demon failed at the last moment and ultimately died under the tribulation lightning."

"After this demon met a gruesome end, its remains fell into my hands, and that's how I forged this set of armor!"

Ao Guang slowly opened his mouth and began to explain.

"Fellow Daoist has come to my East Sea Dragon Palace, and I have nothing to offer but this precious armor. I humbly request that you accept it!"

Having said that, Xin Huan no longer refused and immediately accepted the beast-faced chainmail armor.

"Now that our weapons and armor are complete and our supernatural powers are gradually developing, we are just waiting for the right moment to attain immortality and eternal life."

"No hurry, no rush!"

Xin Huan knew in her heart that the closer it got to this point, the less she could be anxious. She believed that calming down was the most important thing to do in times of great importance.

Leaving aside Xin Huan's encounters at the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, let's talk about how the three of them discussed the Dao and then went home separately.

After leaving the East Sea Dragon Palace, Xin Huan found a propitious place in Chentang Pass.

He planned to emulate the ancients by building a hut and cultivating his inner energy in the mountains every day, meditating and preserving his spirit, in order to achieve perfect merit and eventually condense a golden elixir of the Great Dao.

"Since our last discussion, I have acquired ten new Heavenly Divine Powers, greatly enhancing my cultivation foundation!"

"Combined with the seventy-two Earthly Fiend Divine Powers, and through analogy and understanding, my cultivation began to advance by leaps and bounds!"

Xin Huan sat upright in the thatched hut, eating only the wind and dew every day, cultivating himself without ceasing. During the day, he circulated his magical power and harmonized the dragon and tiger, and at night he meditated to preserve his spirit.

And so, more than three years passed in the blink of an eye!

During these three years, Xin Huan would occasionally go down the mountain to take a look and check on the local conditions.

During this period, Xin Huan actively offered advice and strategies to Li Jing, resulting in many policies that benefited the country and its people.

Salt production, papermaking, printing, and agricultural tools like the curved plow have all been invented.

After three years of promotion, these inventions have been put into practice, and merits are continuously flowing in.

On this day, Xin Huan meditated in his thatched hut, refining his qi, harmonizing the dragon and tiger, and settling the yin and yang within his body.

He felt that the three treasures within his body were complete, his spirit and energy were abundant, and they had already been injected into his divine body, and his cultivation was about to break through.

Xin Huan immediately got up, slowly entered a meditative state, and then circulated the Eight-Nine Arcane Technique to condense the Great Dao Primordial Spirit.

Suddenly, a white mist appeared above Xin Huan's head, and within the mist, one could see the three souls and seven spirits.

This white mist swirled around Xin Huan's head, and with each breath he took, it began to attract the surrounding vital energy, creating an extremely strange effect with every inhale and exhale.

Before long, the white mist transformed into a murky chicken, floating above Xin Huan's head.

A pure and ethereal energy surged forth, and within Xin Huan's body, essence, energy, and spirit converged, yin and yang harmonized, and her primordial spirit began to emerge.

At this moment, Xin Huan's three souls and seven spirits merged with the Yin spirit. Nourished by the magic power, they underwent a tremendous transformation and were able to attain the Daoist primordial spirit in one fell swoop.

Yin spirit, primordial spirit, yang spirit!

This is the three realms of a cultivator. The Yin Spirit is also known as the intermediate state body, which is an incomplete soul body!

Within the human body reside three souls and seven spirits!

Among them, the three souls belong to Yang, and the seven spirits belong to Yin. The intermediate body condensed by the cultivator is a part of the seven spirits.

Only by fully condensing the seven souls can one attain the status of a ghost immortal, but the yin spirit belongs to yin and is not part of the Great Dao.

Therefore, if one wants to attain immortality, one must allow the Yin spirit to undergo a transformation and awaken a point of pure Yang true spirit within the body.

This only applies to the cultivation path of ghost immortals.

Ordinary cultivators, after cultivating to become ghost immortals, can use the smoke of blood and qi to cleanse the yin energy within their spirits.

Once the Yin spirit has shed its impurities, it can then merge the three souls into it, transforming them into the orthodox primordial spirit of Taoism.

Once the primordial spirit is formed, magical power will naturally arise!

After cultivating the Taoist primordial spirit, one can be considered a person of great magical power. After that, one can open up the dantian and purple palace, accumulating powerful magical power accumulated over tens of thousands of years.

In Taoist cultivation, this realm is also known as the Hundred-Day Foundation Building. The hundred days is just a figurative number and not a specific time.

The primordial spirit resides in the Purple Palace for a long time, hence Taoist cultivators who have completed the Foundation Establishment in a hundred days are also known as Purple Palace Great Cultivators!

The Purple Mansion Realm can be called a living half-immortal!

After all, after the Purple Mansion Realm comes the legendary Golden Core Realm, which is also known as the Land Immortal Realm, hence it is also called the Earth Immortal Path!

Ghost immortals and human immortals are both wandering immortals!

Although he was granted the title of "immortal" and magical power was born within him, his cultivation was ultimately incomplete.

Neither the Ghost Immortal nor the Human Immortal had opened their dantian or purple palace, accumulating magical power within their bodies for tens of thousands of years.

Compared to a Grand Master of the Purple Mansion Realm, Ghost Immortals and Human Immortals are always a step behind in terms of magical power and cultivation.

When Yin and Yang are in harmony, the Great Dao begins!

Once the primordial spirit is formed, magical power will naturally arise!

Above the primordial spirit is the Taoist Yang spirit, a realm that is even more mysterious and cannot be explained to outsiders.

The path Xin Huan cultivated was the Golden Elixir Path.

This elixir emphasizes the principle of returning to oneness, condensing a true seed of the Great Dao. After the elixir undergoes nine cycles, it will then unite with the primordial spirit. Upon completion, one's immortal lifespan will be comparable to that of the Great Emperor!

But that's a story for another time.

Xin Huan has only just condensed his Taoist primordial spirit; he is still far from condensing his Great Dao Golden Core!

"Time stands still in the mountains, and those who cultivate the Tao are unaware of the years!"

"In the blink of an eye, three years have passed. Time flies, and it waits for no one!"

"For mortal cultivators, without exceptional innate talent, the path to immortality is as futile as a mayfly trying to reach the heavens!"

"Without the true method, without encountering the predestined affinity for immortality! To transcend from mortal to immortal, the method is as difficult as ascending to heaven!"

Xin Huan opened his eyes. He was already considered lucky; compared to ordinary people, he had already been given a cheat code.

"How fortunate Marshal Tianpeng was!"

"In my youth, I was lazy and clumsy, and never cultivated my character or practiced spiritual cultivation. But one day, I suddenly encountered a true immortal in my leisure time."

"Those who are destined to become my disciples will receive the Nine-Turn Great Elixir. When their merits are complete and their conduct is fulfilled, they will ascend to heaven and be granted the title of Grand Marshal of the Heavenly River, overseeing the navy and holding the title of Imperial Envoy."

"Marshal Tianpeng's experience can truly be described as: 'To see a true immortal in a single day saves one from ten thousand years of cultivation!'"

"Such an opportunity is truly the envy of everyone!"

Xin Huan immediately spoke up, saying that although he had some kind of cheat code, compared to Tian Peng, he was undoubtedly a small fry compared to a big fish!
