The primordial era began with the mythological age.

Chapter 40 The Mysteries of Primordial Ancestral Qi and the Continuation of Life (Seeking recommendations and monthly votes for further reading)

Taiyi looked up at his internal organs and the lower dantian.

After becoming a god, he allowed the Five Organs Gods to return to their respective organs, which was actually to strengthen the body's innate Qi and cultivate the lower dantian.

In the current divine system, the realm of the God Lord is a blessed land for cultivation.

Before the era of the Human Emperor, those who cultivated in the Purple Mansion Cave Heaven were Heavenly Gods; those who cultivated in the Middle Dantian Palace Blessed Land were Earthly Gods.

This blessed land is inhabited by deities, hence it is called the Divine Realm.

Nowadays, those with the ability will often open up blessed lands in both the upper and middle dantian.

"How can I cultivate the essence of the human body?"

"How should I cultivate my Qi in the lower Dantian?"

Taiyi asked himself.

At present, accumulating spiritual energy and true qi with the Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman is certainly not bad, as it can reduce excess and replenish deficiency.

Then, one refines essence into qi, and qi into spirit, and then uses magic power to temper the physical body, which in turn further strengthens the physical body, allowing it to contain even more abundant essence and qi.

Whether it's acquired essence or innate essence, pure primordial qi, or divine primordial qi, these vital energies all constitute a positive cycle of the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit, mutually promoting each other.

however.

The core of Shinto cultivation at present is the transformation of the primordial spirit into a god.

He pioneered the acquired deity cultivation system. After enlightening the spirits of the five internal organs, the spirits of the five internal organs now belong to the five internal organs. In the future, when the middle dantian opens up a blessed land, the five internal organs will become the spirits of the blessed land, which will inevitably have an unparalleled feedback effect on the innate qi of the human body.

In this case, the lower dantian, or the three treasures of the human body (essence, qi, and spirit), will become the weakest link, with essence becoming the weakest link.

"I had hoped that the transformed Xuanhuang Yiqi Talisman would be able to cultivate innate ancestral qi, but it's not happening yet..."

"One must obtain the three treasures of refining essence, qi, and spirit."

Tai Yi muttered to himself.

It's not impossible to refine the primordial ancestral energy; one can simply absorb primordial energy.

But what's the point?

Cultivating innate Dao talismans requires only divine essence and true qi.

The Ling Shu (Spiritual Pivot) states: "The origin of life is called essence, and the interaction of two essences is called spirit."

The Ling Shu (Spiritual Pivot) chapter on "Natural Lifespan" also states: "When blood and qi are in harmony, the nourishing and defensive qi are unblocked, and the five viscera are formed, the spirit resides in the heart, and the soul and spirit are fully formed, one becomes a human being."

Taiyi pondered carefully, then his eyes shone brightly as he looked at his own body, observing human activities at a level even more microscopic than cells.

Or rather, he was observing the formation of human sperm.

There is no doubt that the body's essence, energy, and spirit are all involved.

He even keenly sensed it.

If a person's innate essence is depleted, then the sperm will lose its activity.

They thus lose the ability to reproduce.

Taiyi withdrew his gaze and looked down at the half-dried sea of ​​innate essence beneath his feet, as well as the life wheel at the bottom of the sea.

"This is about the continuation of life..."

Taiyi muttered to himself, "The primordial ancestral energy will continuously transform into the three treasures of essence, qi, and spirit. If one does not cultivate, the primordial essence and qi will be continuously depleted, the primordial ancestral energy will be exhausted, and the sea of ​​primordial essence and qi will gradually dry up completely, losing the ability to continue life. In fact, a person's life will enter its countdown."

"The continuation of life..."

Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him.

Inside the hall, Taiyi opened her eyes and called out, "Liling..."

Li Lingshi, who was standing nearby, immediately opened her eyes: "Master?"

Taiyi asked, "Has the Life Spring been opened?"

Li Lingshi nodded immediately.

Taiyi asked, "May I have a look?"

Li Ling smiled and said, "Of course it's possible."

Immediately, Taiyi's primordial spirit left his body and entered Liling's lower dantian.

The primordial spirit of Li Ling also descended from the Purple Mansion, leading Tai Yi into the Spring of Life, and arrived at the Sea of ​​Innate Essence.

In contrast to the semi-dried state of Taiyi, the innate essence sea of ​​Liling was surging and extremely abundant.

However, this is not surprising.

Li Ling was ultimately a demigod, and a dragon at that, possessing a naturally strong physique and a long lifespan.

In the present day, if the human race in the prehistoric world does not cultivate, even without illness or disaster, their lifespan will not exceed eight hundred years.

Taiyi also saw the innate ancestral energy of Liling, which was thick in the arm and had the shape of a dragon.

Compared to his innate ancestral energy, which was as thin as a hair, it was like heaven and earth.

At this moment, Taiyi deeply realized the difference in their backgrounds.

However, his attention was immediately drawn to the energy manifested by the innate ancestral energy of the Li Ling clan.

He sensed carefully and noticed that Li Ling Shi beside him was curious, but did not ask any questions rashly. Instead, he waited quietly.

After a while.

Taiyi's expression revealed understanding and delight: "Just as I expected!"

"The primordial energy of male and female is different, containing the distinction between yin and yang."

"If... if the primordial energies belonging to Yin and Yang were to combine, could they directly create primordial beings?"

"Innate deities, innate gods and demons, innate beings, are either the essence of heaven and earth or spiritual objects of heaven and earth, created by the essence of heaven and earth."

"The innate primordial energy of a person possesses properties similar to the primordial energy of the Yellow Emperor..."

A bold idea suddenly occurred to Taiyi: "Could I rely on the primordial ancestral energy and the primordial mother energy to change my own foundation, return from the acquired to the innate, and cultivate into an innate being, an innate god or demon, or even an innate saint?"

Is that possible?

Tai Yi's expression changed repeatedly, and his thoughts fluctuated violently.

"It's entirely possible... The Primordial Qi is the mother Qi of all things."

"The primordial primordial energy is the source of the three innate treasures of the human body."

"But... how can I achieve this?"

"I possess innate ancestral energy, but it is yang in nature. I am still lacking yin-natured innate ancestral energy, which I would have to plunder... No, I have the Xuanhuang Mother Qi to replace it, and it is also the best choice."

"The Primordial Qi of Xuanhuang is the mother Qi of all things, the innate Dao Qi. Heaven and earth were formed from it. All the innate saints, gods and demons, and innate beings, tracing their origins, all come from the Primordial Qi of Xuanhuang."

"With my current level of cultivation, it is probably impossible for me to rebuild myself and change my origins by taking the Primordial Qi of Xuanhuang and the Primordial Qi as my source."

"That is the innate essence... Many innate deities are formed from the innate essence."

"But how do we do it?"

"The lower dantian is key."

……

Taiyi's mind raced, and suddenly, under Liling's astonished gaze, his primordial spirit exploded, transforming into a surging, boundless stream of energy, with streaks of lightning flashing within it, and Daoist runes and inscriptions constantly appearing before disappearing.

"Is this some kind of magic method being deduced? It's as if he was born with lightning-fast thoughts."

"Is it about primordial ancestral energy?"

"You previously instructed me not to cultivate the Five Internal Organs Spirits with my primordial ancestral energy; could there be some hidden secret behind that?"

Li Lingshi attempted to think and explore according to the mindset of the acquired godhood cultivation system created by Taiyishi.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Lingshi opened his eyes, without disturbing Taiyishi, and got up to walk out of the main hall.

Outside were Zhu You and three others.

Li Lingshi said, "Master is still in the midst of enlightenment. What brings you four fellow Daoists here?"

Zhu You and the other three quickly greeted him, not daring to be negligent. Hui Kui said, "We have come to take our leave."

"Because the Stone River God Guya has become a demon, he has attracted many heavenly demons to possess the bodies of many gods and demigods. Now Guya has been killed by the Heavenly Candle God King, but many of the gods and demigods possessed by the heavenly demons, apart from those who were beheaded at Mount Tai a few days ago, are still scattered and hiding. Therefore, we have come to say goodbye today, as we are going to go and slay the demons."

Li Ling nodded and said, "I understand. I will definitely tell you when Master wakes up."

"Fellow Daoists, you should also be careful and not be too forceful."

Zhu You quickly replied, "Thank you for the reminder, senior. We will keep it in mind."

After saying this, the four took their leave.
