Taoist priests in the supernatural world

Buzz!

Golden light shone brightly in the void.

A huge golden circle slowly emerged and hung above the mortuary.

A huge pre-heaven Bagua (Eight Trigrams) can be vaguely seen within the circle.

The Bagua slowly rotates, below which are pavilions, towers, talismans, and cities.

There were also Taoist priests from the Yin Earth Dharma Realm coming and going.

Some of the Taoist priests had solid figures, while others were translucent like souls. Some wore yellow robes, while others carried magic swords on their backs.

They looked down at the people of the mortal world as if through a curtain of water.

In the center of the Eight Trigrams, a figure bathed in golden light stands faintly.

The man stood on the altar, waving to the crowd.

Shi Jian slowly stood up.

A halo spun behind his head, and lightning patterns appeared and disappeared on his body, making him no longer appear as an ordinary person.

He looked at Huang Bai, cupped his hands, and said:

"Fellow Daoist, the Patriarch invites you to the Underworld for a discussion."

"With us, the inner and outer protectors, we can surely escort you to the Dharma Realm."

Huang Bai looked up at the golden ring and pondered for a moment.

Visiting someone else's dojo is equivalent to entering their magical domain.

This is an extremely dangerous act.

If the other party harbors malicious intent, entering the Dharma realm is tantamount to voluntarily stepping into their home turf.

However, after weighing the pros and cons, Huang Bai felt that this trip was worthwhile.

First of all, Maoshan has no direct conflict of interest with me.

On the contrary, by enlightening Shi Jian himself and helping Maoshan overcome the difficulties of a generational gap, he had done them a great favor.

Secondly, he can take this opportunity to comprehend the state of great stillness of Maoshan and make up for his shortcomings in cultivating his mind and character.

On the path of cultivation, both physical and spiritual cultivation are indispensable.

He now possesses numerous magical abilities and strong supernatural powers, but he still needs to further refine his character.

More importantly, he has no Heavenly Dao missions to bind him in this world.

Although the low-level Incense Slayer technique only allows him to stay for half a year, Huang Bai can leave this realm at any time during this period.

If you sense danger, simply return.

Thinking of this, Huang Bai nodded and said:

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

Shi Jian raised his hand in a gesture.

"please."

The two stepped into the golden circle, one after the other.

Wow!

The light and shadow before my eyes suddenly changed.

It was as if the world had turned upside down, or as if I had been thrown into a long golden river.

The next moment, Huang Bai stood firmly on his feet.

The surroundings were filled with countless golden lights.

Rays of multicolored light filled the sky, intertwining to form a mysterious realm.

Huang Bai looked up, a faint purple aura swirling in his eyes.

"This is the Daoist method..."

He immediately recognized that this place was the origin of Maoshan's borrowing of magic.

The practice of Maoshan Taoist priests in the mortal realm performing rituals, inviting ancestral masters, and borrowing magical power originated here.

After a cultivator ascends to this Dharma Realm in broad daylight, he will gradually merge with the Dharma Realm.

With the help of the power of the Dharma realm, one can conjure up several times the lifespan out of thin air.

At the same time, when disciples in the mortal world borrow the Dharma, they will in turn make offerings to the Dharma realm and the ascended patriarchs.

After Shi Jian arrived in this world, his body was also covered by mysterious golden light.

The halo behind his head grew even brighter.

The aura of thunder magic within his body resonated with the Yin Earth Dharma Realm, clearly indicating that he had begun to merge with this Dharma Realm.

"After nearly three hundred years, there is finally another person who ascends to heaven in broad daylight."

A Taoist master from Maoshan, bathed in golden light, led a group of disciples to greet them.

He looked at Shi Jian with satisfaction in his eyes.

"When my lifespan is exhausted, I will have lived up to the expectations of my ancestors."

Shi Jian bowed respectfully.

"Disciple Shi Jian pays respects to the Ancestral Master."

Huang Bai also cupped his hands and said:

"Huang Tian greets the Celestial Master."

Those who ascended to immortality in broad daylight were pioneers on the path to immortality.

There are countless paths to enlightenment; there is no single path or single state of being in the world.

Every path has its own method of cultivation.

Having reached this point, there are lessons to be learned.

The Taoist Master of Maoshan laughed and said:

"Welcome Master Huangtian to the Yin Land. Fellow Daoist, your enlightenment of Shi Jian is a great kindness to Maoshan."

"Since you're here today, why not come with me for a walk?"

Huang Bai nodded and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking."

Next, the Maoshan Celestial Master led Huang Bai and Shi Jian to observe the Yin Earth Dharma Realm.

Corpse refining, formations, summoning gods, talismans—each generation of ascended beings brings their strongest techniques to this world.

Over time, various different lineage buildings were formed.

The Taoist master of Maoshan pointed to a pool of lightning crackling in the distance and said:

"This place is Shi Jian's lineage training ground. From now on, this will be where you cultivate."

"If a disciple in the mortal realm practices thunder magic, they can request the Maoshan Dharma Realm to lend them a portion of its power."

Shi Jian gazed at the Thunder Pool with a complex expression.

Within the Thunder Pool, azure lightning surged continuously.

One after another, bolts of lightning rose from the pool and exploded in mid-air.

He practiced thunder magic throughout his life.

Now that he has ascended to heaven in broad daylight, he will also become one of the sources from which future disciples can borrow the Dharma.

Huang Bai stood to the side, vaguely understanding the mysteries of the Dharma Realm.

In short, this is an alternative form of autopsy.

Or, it can be called "legal interpretation".

Corpse liberation is the process of shedding the constraints of the physical body and seeking a new path to immortality.

Ascension in broad daylight involves transforming the physical body into magic and merging it into the Dharma realm, thereby extending one's lifespan.

This is the essence of ascending to immortality in broad daylight in this world.

As long as the lineage continues and the incense offerings remain, those who ascend to immortality can live for hundreds of years.

But the cost is also obvious.

Once an ascendant is deeply integrated with the Dharma realm, they cannot easily leave.

If one forcibly descends to the mortal realm, one will be subject to both the rules of the mortal world and one's own lifespan.

This is why many patriarchs who ascended to heaven in broad daylight, despite their existence, rarely intervened in the mortal realm.

Next, Huang Bai discussed Maoshan meditation with the Maoshan Celestial Master.

The Taoist master of Maoshan slowly said:

"The highest level of Maoshan meditation is called Great Stillness."

"Great stillness leads to embryonic breathing."

The book "Baopuzi" says that those who attain embryonic breathing can breathe without using their mouth and nose, as if they were in the womb.

"Do not let your mind wander, and do not let your anger leak out."

"It is like an infant in the womb, with its inside and outside working together, self-sufficient."

Huang Bai sat cross-legged beneath the Eight Trigrams of the Primordial Era.

The words of the Maoshan Celestial Master echoed in my ears.

When the mind is still, there is neither coming nor going.

His mind gradually sank into a mysterious and profound state.

They seem to know nothing about the outside world, yet they possess extremely strong perception.

Every ray of light flowing around me, every wisp of yin energy rising and falling, and every rotation of the Eight Trigrams were clearly imprinted in my mind.

He could even vaguely detect the slight vibrations emitted when Shi Jian's newborn Dharma lineage merged with the Dharma realm in the distant Thunder Pool.

According to the agreement reached during the duel, Huang Bai could have become the leader of the Maoshan sect.

Of course, Huang Bai did not possess the Maoshan talisman, so he could not truly succeed as the sect leader.

However, he can enjoy the same treatment as the head of the Maoshan sect and practice Maoshan's secret techniques.

As agreed, Huang Bai could learn Maoshan Thunder Magic, Wooden Stake Technique, and Maoshan Meditation Techniques.

For Huang Bai today, these things are not simply for enhancing their killing power.

More importantly, we should learn from it.

Drawing on the Maoshan lineage's understanding of the Yin Earth Dharma Realm, Thunder Magic, and Mind Nature.

the other side.

The Taoist master of Maoshan is using his true fire to temper a Five Elements Array Plate.

This is also a Maoshan ritual implement.

Now, entrusted by Huang Bai, the Maoshan Celestial Master has refined this item again, completely completing its five-element structure.

Within the true fire, the array plate slowly rotated.

The old bronze color on the plate gradually faded, replaced by a shimmering gold.

The patterns representing the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, and earth—gradually lit up.

Each time a light illuminates, a corresponding wisp of energy from the Dharma Realm falls into the array plate.

The Yin Earth Dharma Realm gradually fell into silence.

Yellow and white, sitting motionless like a rock.

Golden light slowly emanated from its surface.

After an unknown amount of time, five pills flew out of Huang Bai's body.

The five pills represent the core of the Five Elements Thunder Technique.

The pill spun around behind his head, vaguely forming a five-colored halo.

A wisp of majestic thunderous aura emanated from it.

Huang Bai's breathing gradually became weaker.

In the end, he almost stopped breathing through his mouth and nose.

The body's energy naturally flows in and out through the pores of the skin.

After a long while, Huang Bai slowly opened his eyes, his pupils shining with golden light.

At this moment, his aura was no longer sharp and outward, but rather more harmonious and serene.

The yellow and white colors reveal an unusual appearance.

The feathers covering his entire body disappeared, and his form returned to its state before the second completion of the Great Elixir Rejuvenation.

The improvement of one's character indirectly benefits the physical body.

Its sharpness is hidden in its sheath, and its thunder and fire reside within its core.

"The third elixir restoration is near."

Huang Bai thought to himself.

Just then, the Taoist Master from Maoshan walked over.

He held a radiant, colorful Dharma plate in his hands.

The Five Elements Array Plate, originally made of bronze, has now turned into gold.

Maoshan Celestial Masters Taoism:

"I have refined this magic disc again, and it can now produce all five elements at once."

"If this formation is used, its power will far surpass that of before."

Huang Bai took the array plate, sensed the energy within it, and nodded in satisfaction.

"Thank you, Celestial Master."

After saying that, he stored the array plate into the Muchen Pearl.

Then, Huang Bai looked around.

"I've disturbed you greatly; it's time for me to take my leave."

The Taoist master of Maoshan nodded and said:

"Alright, I'll see you off."

"The Dharma Realm requires a Celestial Master to open; you cannot leave alone."

Huang Bai smiled and said, "No need to trouble yourself."

The next moment, his figure slowly faded away.

Like a wisp of smoke, it gradually dissipated in the same spot.

His aura seemed to be directly erased by this world, disappearing completely in the blink of an eye.

The Maoshan people were left dumbfounded.

The Taoist master of Maoshan stared at the spot where Huang Bai had disappeared for a long time.

He couldn't figure out how Huang Bai had left.

"Free to enter and exit the Dharma realm, coming and going without hindrance."

"These are the immortal Taoist priests?"

The Taoist master of Maoshan muttered to himself.

Shi Jian, standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Roaming the five lakes and four seas, the three realms and nine hells, it seems that Huang Bai is walking the true path of carefree wandering."

Ascending to heaven in broad daylight certainly grants one a lofty existence and a lifespan of three hundred years.

But what will be the cost?

When the Dharma realm declines, it is inevitably harmed as well.

In comparison, the path of immortals like Huang and Bai, who can come and go without hindrance, is closer to true freedom.

……

Inside the ancient temple.

A yellow and white figure suddenly appeared.

The temple was filled with the faint scent of incense, and a celestial edict hung above the incense table.

Huang Bai looked up at the Heavenly Decree and said softly:

"Half a year has passed, it's about time to come back."

It wasn't that he didn't want to stay in the "Zombie Supreme" world, but rather that the low-level Zombie Incense had a time limit.

"The trip to 'Zombie Supreme' was quite fruitful."

"Not only did he master the Maoshan meditation technique, but he also acquired the wooden stake technique and improved the Five Elements Array."

Thinking of this, Huang Bai opened his mouth and spat it out.

A bright green pill flew out of his mouth and hovered above his palm.

The pills were emerald green, like jade, with faint patterns of grass and wood visible inside.

This elixir is named Pangu Vitality Elixir.

It is the fundamental elixir of the Everlasting Spring Divine Power.

Now that Huang Bai has combined it with the Wooden Stake Technique, the atmosphere of the Wooden Stake Technique has also changed.

……

The Ghost Blows Out the Light Hall is located inside a mountain covered with cloud and sand.

Huang Bai stood on the ground, a thought forming in his mind.

Splash!

The surrounding ground suddenly cracked.

Thick trees sprouted from the ground.

In just a few breaths, five or six giant trees, each large enough for one person to hug, grew.

The giant tree has lush, verdant foliage.

Runes faintly appeared on the tree bark.

The branches sway gently like arms, exuding vitality.

Its roots penetrate deep into the mountains of Yunsha, absorbing the earth's energy, which in turn nourishes the surrounding soil and rocks.

The lifeless wooden stakes have disappeared, replaced by a vibrant giant tree.

Huang Bai looked at the giant tree in front of him and nodded slightly.

"Fire Dragon, Cold Dragon, Wood Magic, Thunder Magic."

"I now possess four powerful spells."

With these four elements working together, it's sufficient to handle most situations.

Afterwards, Huang Bai stayed on the mountain to refine elixirs and cultivate his spiritual practice.

During this time, he also went to the incense burner to check on the incense burning.

This time, two types of incense were used.

【Substitute Incense】: Passive use, no need to be lit, substitute incense owner dies once.

【Invoking Incense】: Light the incense, transform into someone who has experienced the world, inherit all their abilities, and maintain this for three hours.

Huang Bai looked at the two new incense sticks with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

"Both types of incense are quite good; the former is equivalent to having a life."

"the latter……"

"Is this a kind of transformation technique?"

Products made by Tiandao are guaranteed to be of high quality.

Since it is an incarnation, it must be exactly the same as the original, without any difference.

If used properly, this incense can even play an unexpected role at crucial moments.

For example, one could transform into a powerful being from another world and borrow their complete abilities.

Or, in a special world, one can use a corresponding identity to evade causal tracking.

Huang and Bai carefully put away the two kinds of incense and returned to the world of Ghost Blows Out the Light to refine elixirs and cultivate their spiritual practice.

While organizing his own supernatural powers, he also consolidated his newly comprehended state of great stillness.

Great stillness is not simply sitting in meditation, but rather gradually calming down one's restless mind.

Let supernatural powers remain supernatural powers, and let the Daoist heart remain the Daoist heart.

Don't let power lead you astray.

Shi Jian serves as a cautionary tale in this regard.

I don't know how much time has passed.

The Heavenly Decree on the incense table suddenly rippled.

Huang Bai opened his eyes.

A line of text slowly appeared on the talisman.

[Heavenly Decree to Exterminate Demons: Travel to the world of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," eliminate the messenger of the Queen Mother of the West, and destroy the Kingdom of Hatred.]

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms..."

Huang Bai's eyes flickered slightly.

The plot of this world needs no further explanation.

Besides those vying for supremacy, there were also figures like Zhang Jiao, Yu Ji, Zuo Ci, and Zhuge Liang who possessed extraordinary magical abilities.

This is clearly not an ordinary Three Kingdoms period.

This is a world where there are immortal arts, sorcerers, and struggles for destiny.

If the Queen Mother of the West's messenger and the Kingdom of Hatred are added to the mix, the situation will only become more complicated.

"The talisman mentions an envoy of the Queen Mother of the West; could this be a sequel to the mythological world?"

Huang Bai recalled that after he killed the two Zou in the mythological world, the Queen Mother of the West's Kingdom had dropped a meteorite from the distant starry sky.

According to estimates at the time, the meteorite would take at least two to three hundred years to reach Earth.

If we calculate the time, it would be around the end of the Western Han Dynasty.

After the end of the Western Han Dynasty came Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han throne, followed by Emperor Guangwu's restoration of the Han Dynasty, and then the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

"Romance of the Three Kingdoms... Hate the Heavenly Kingdom..."

Huang Bai seemed to be deep in thought.

"interesting."

"This so-called Kingdom of Hatred must have been established by the messengers sent by the Queen Mother of the West to take revenge on us."

"It seems that this trip will allow us to take care of the mess left behind in the mythological world."

The Three Kingdoms period was a time when many heroes emerged.

If there truly are immortal arts and destiny in this world, then those historical figures would probably not have been ordinary mortals.

Thinking of this, Huang Bai's figure slowly faded and disappeared into the ancient temple.

next moment.

A deafening roar filled my ears.

"The Blue Heaven is dead! The Yellow Heaven shall rise!"

"The year is Jiazi! Great fortune for the world!"
