Chapter 316 - 270: The Formation of Five Qi
Translator: 549690339
It was precisely because of his initial hesitation and softness that Daoist Xuanqing became untouchable, and now he has ascended to a high-ranking role, virtually impossible to manage.
Bodhisattva, what should we do next?” Muzha stood up and crouched by Guanyin Bodhisattva’s side, asking softly.
Hearing this,
Guanyin Bodhisattva pondered deeply for a moment.
You can go to the Western Heaven and request the Buddha to send one of the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons here.”
Yes!
Muzha responded, and then swiftly left.
In the room,
The middle-aged Taoist transformed from Guanyin Bodhisattva was gazing in the direction of Tang Royal Palace, a vague emotion emanating from his eyes.
Since the Jing River’s Dragon King did not become the Evil Dragon, then… he could only reluctantly ask for the help of the Eight Divisions of Heavenly Dragons within the temple.
There was no other way, as the task must be completed by someone. As the old saying goes in Buddhism… if you do not descend into Hell, who will?
At the moment the Jing River’s Dragon King and his family were leaving the Tang Dynasty in the game world,
Here,
In the real world,
Xuanqing, who was practicing in the mantle of Water Blue Star and condensing the last Earth Primordial Energy, suddenly opened his eyes.
Because a message had appeared in his mind.
[Beep… +100000 Heavenly Merit!]
That’s right.
He had been practicing well, when unexpectedly he had harvested a hundred thousand Heavenly Merit out of the blue.
Could it be…
Xuanqing had a feeling.
In an instant,
He recalled that before returning to the real world, he had used his own Immortal Official Record Seal to stamp the Jing River’s Dragon King.
From the looks of it…. it seemed that the Jing River’s Dragon King had been saved, more precisely, the disaster aura of the Jing River’s Dragon King had dispersed due to his Immortal Official’s stamp.
Only under these circumstances could he explain why he suddenly had an additional hundred thousand Heavenly Merit.
However,
Although a hundred thousand Merit seems a lot, when converted to incense, it’s only one billion.
Compared to the tens of billions of coins he now possesses, the mere one billion is practically negligible.
Therefore,
Xuanqing did not think much about it and quickly cast doubt this matter aside. He closed his eyes and continued to concentrate on his practice.
Time slowly passes.
Half a year had flashed by.
At this moment,
Xuanqing’s entire body, from head to toe, has turned a deep earthy yellow. His deeply concentrated Earthly Qi is so intense that any ordinary cultivator would probably be petrified into a sculpture just by looking at him.
Earth Primordial Energy… condenses!
In the spleen, the original scattered Earth Primordial Energy, under Xuanqing’s control, began to concentrate into a ball and initiated a change in its quality.
In the process,
The whole universe seems to have turned into an earthy yellow.
The five elements rule about ‘Earth’, appeared like a naked child in front of him, laid open for his appreciation and study.
Earth…dense, heavy.
Various elemental molecules continually listed, soil… rare earth… rock… even magma… all sorts of different density, different purity of earth, revealed themselves in front of Xuanqing.
With the understanding of the Rule of the Earth,
The Earth Energy in Xuanqing’s body began to communicate with the Golden Primordial Energy, and the two slowly merged together.
At the same time,
The Golden Primordial Energy also began to automatically merge with the Water Primordial Energy.
Under these circumstances,
Xuanqing’s eyes shone with silvery light and his understanding of the rules of the Five Elements rapidly increased.
This gave him a vague feel of… having opened the Absolute Holiness Abandonment of Wisdom!
Metal generates Water!
Water generates Wood!
Wood generates Fire!
Fire generates Earth!
Gold, Blue, Green, Red, Yellow…
The Five Elemental Qis in his body, according to the different organs, were revolving unendingly.
The entire fivecolored organ, amidst this rapid rotation, gradually disappeared into nothingness.
In the end!!
They transformed into a mass of white mist that looked somewhat similar to Qingyu.
Xuanqing was very surprised.
If he hadn’t felt that his understanding of the Five Elements hadn’t diminished a bit, he might have mistaken it as his cultivation regressing.
Suddenly,
He understood.
He became enlightened.
My current state could be the ‘one’ as referred to in Taoism. The Five Elements become one, and from one, another is derived, forming two.”
The so-called ‘two’ is the dual paths of Yin and Yang!
Daoist Xuanqing murmured to himself.
Indeed.
Since he achieved the Road to Celestials, his subsequent cultivation was still laying the foundation until now when he has fully understood the rules of the Five Elements, he truly stepped onto the path of cultivation.
The law of nature flows naturally.
One gives birth to two, two give birth to four, four give birth to all things!
The state of ‘one’ is his current state, the five rules of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, have become a cloud of white mist, which is the beginning of all things.
And the subsequent cultivation.
Is to derive the ‘Yin and Yang’ dual paths on the basis of this cloud of white mist, thus completing the transformation from ‘one’ to ‘two’.
Five Qi Chaoyuan is the real first step in cultivation!
Light shone in Xuanqing’s eyes.
At this moment.
The path of his future cultivation has finally become clear and bright.
The next step… is to practice the dual paths of Yin and Yang!” Xuanqing thought to himself, with a clear direction in mind.
However.
Since he only made a breakthrough recently, he needs some time to settle down. It’s an excellent opportunity to open up his Dao Court.
Moreover.
Over at the real world, the plan to ‘swallow and replace’ the Heaven and Earth Will, also needs a considerable amount of energy to execute.
Let’s take a trip to the Moon first, then speed up the maturity of the Ginseng Fruit Tree once more. It should be able to mature!”
With this thought in mind.
Xuanqing swung his whisk.
In an instant.
The entire Earth’s Mantle began to slowly wriggle, leaving a pathway, seemingly for Xuanqing to travel.
This isn’t the Earth Escape Technique, but an effect derived directly from the mastery of the Five Elements Earth Rule after completing the Earth Primordial Energy.
Most importantly.
The movement within the Earth’s mantle does not affect the surface of Water
Blue Star at all. It appears as though all the ripples are confined within this small area.
Moments later.
An automatic passage appeared on the ground of the Inner courtyard of Qingping Temple, and the figure of Xuanqing floated up.
Half a year has passed, and there should be quite a lot of incense accumulated by now!”
After returning to the surface.
Xuanqing looked towards the Taoist temple outside, saw the endless stream of incense guests in the temple, and thought to himself.
With a thought.
Immortal Official Seal!
After the Immortal Official Seal was offered.
Divine thought was emitted!
In an instant.
Xuanqing’s divine thought covered the entire Great Yan Kingdom and continued to spread in all directions, finally… it covered the entire East Asia region.
After the completion of Five Qi Chaoyuan, not only did the understanding of the rules of the Five Elements deepened, but also a metamorphosis occurred in life.
The physical body was alright since it was already the Chaos Virtue Holy Body, the enhancement was not very noticeable, but the divine thought increased more than several times.
The entire Great Yan Kingdom was thoroughly covered with Taoist temples.
And.
There are many incense guests who come to burn incense in the Taoist temples.
About half of them are for treating diseases. After the treatment is over, they burn incense and worship, generating a huge amount of incense fire.
In addition to this.
In the cultivation towers of the Taoist temples all over the country, there are already people whose cultivation has broken through the stage of Refining Essence into Qi.
The Road of Humanity… has basically been successfully opened up. As long as all the Ginseng Fruit Trees on the Moon are fully matured, the spiritual energy produced would be more than enough to supply a Water Blue Star!”
Under the cover of divine consciousness.
Xuanqing had a clear view of the expansion of the Taoist gate in the Great Yan Kingdom.
Next… it was time to harvest the incense accumulated over the past half a year.
Retrieve!
Humin-
The Immortal Official Seal, floating in the air, radiated a peculiar vibration.
The faith incense fire in the sub-array plates above the Taoist temples all over the Great Yan kingdom, as if responding to a call, broke off from the array plates one by one, converged in the sky, and finally flew towards a certain direction.
Thirty minutes later.
All the incense fire was gathered into the Immortal Official Seal.
Recharge!
[Beep… +55E ingots!]
5.5 billion, which is just over 30 million a day!
Xuanqing pondered slightly.
Since the incense fire ingots increased to 30 million per day, there was almost no change, and it has been stable at this figure.
Currently, there are more than 19,000 Taoist temples in the entire Great Yan Kingdom, which means there is an income of about 1500 ingots per temple per day.”
It seems… it’s time to open new Taoist temples and break out of the Great Yan Kingdom!”
A glint flashed in Xuanqing’s eyes.
