Chapter 346: Attacking the Yang God (4)

Beijing, Lu Family Compound.

"Brother! Brother!" Lu Laosan suddenly rushed into the study from outside.

Lu Tingsong raised his eyelids, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Lu Lao San said solemnly: "According to reliable information, Master Fang is cultivating the Yang God and striving for the legendary immortal realm."

Lu Tingsong, who was originally a little impatient, suddenly raised his head.

Ever since people knew that there was a true immortal named Fang Yi in the world, every powerful force, whether it was a family, a country or an organization, had more or less learned about the Taoist cultural heritage.

As one of the people who is closest to Master Fang, Lu Tingsong naturally has a deep understanding of Taoist culture. He knows that Taoism is roughly divided into five immortals: gods, earthly beings, humans, and ghosts. He also vaguely knows that Fang Yi's previous realm was in the earthly immortal realm.

Just imagine, if the Earthly Immortal Realm can crush an asteroid with bare hands, how much more powerful must the Divine Immortal Realm be?

Lu Tingsong felt that if Fang Yi could reach the immortal realm, he would probably have no problem crushing the sun with his bare hands.

The most important point is that the Lu family and Huangshan Daojun Palace have the best relationship among many forces. The more powerful Master Fang becomes, the more advantages it will have for the Lu family.

Now that Lu Tingsong heard that Master Fang was trying to reach a higher realm, his eyes suddenly lit up and he asked nervously, "How is it? Did Master Fang succeed in his attempt?"

Lu Lao San shook his head and said, "Not sure."

…

Baiyun Temple.

This is the ancestral home of the Longmen Sect of Quanzhen Taoism, and is known as the "No. 1 Quanzhen Monastery".

As the leader of Quanzhen, Taoist Priest Li has many things to do. For example, today he has to receive a group of high-level masters from other places. The group of people were discussing Taoist scriptures.

"Brother Li, I haven't heard from the old man for more than a year. Have you ever visited him in the Daojun Palace?" asked a high-level mage in his seventies.

"I have been there, but I heard from Abbot Zheng that the Immortal Master seems to be in seclusion." Taoist Priest Li couldn't help but sigh, "It's a pity that Hunyuan Taichu Da Daojun was unable to listen to the Immortal Master's teachings this year. It's really a great pity."

Another Taoist priest from Xishan wondered, "The Immortal has already reached the Heavenly Man Realm, so does he still need to retreat to improve his cultivation?"

Taoist Priest Li sighed, “We don’t understand the realm of the Immortal, but from the ancient books, it seems that the Immortal has not yet achieved the Yang God, and cannot break through the void, so he stays in the world. If he can achieve the Yang God, perhaps he can ascend to the fairyland.”

As he was speaking, his disciple, Taoist Gao, hurried in from outside and whispered a few words into Taoist Li's ear.

Taoist Priest Li showed a look of surprise and asked, "Are you serious?"

Taoist Gao nodded slightly, "Really!"

Taoist Priest Li's expression became strange and delighted, and he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I understand, you can go out first."

Taoist Priest Gao and other high-level masters apologized and left first.

"Well."

"What's wrong?"

A group of high-level masters asked.

Taoist Priest Li said seriously, "The Immortal is using the heavenly thunder to refine his primordial spirit. According to the news from the Huangshan Taoist Palace, the Immortal is striving for the Yangshen realm!"

Everyone fell silent in an instant!

Then, screams came one after another!

"ah?"

“Oh my god!”

"What?"

The high-level magicians really didn't expect that Master Fang was actually trying to reach the legendary Yang God. They were all shocked, and then they became excited. Yang God is the highest realm in alchemy, but the practice of becoming an immortal has been discontinued for hundreds of years, and no one has ever seen what Yang God is like. But now, they actually have the hope of seeing someone cultivate to the supreme realm of Yang God?

In an instant, these high-level magicians became excited and wished that Master Fang could succeed in reaching the Yang Shen realm immediately.

…

The Ugly Country also knows about this.

If it were in the past, the big guys in Ugly Country would definitely wish Fang Yi to die sooner. After all, Fang Yi is the god of China. If he really helps China fight for the world, Ugly Country would lose its title as the world's number one power.

However, since the interstellar immigration, the attitude of the Ugly Country has changed.

Everyone knows what Master Fang means to all mankind.

"Oh my God."

"Please bless Master Fang to succeed in reaching a higher level."

"Can God bless Master Fang? Master Fang blessing God is more like it!"

"I hope that Master Fang will become even stronger and lead us humans to better development."

"Master Fang will definitely be able to successfully reach a higher level!"

"Yes, of course."

After the big guys from Chou Country got the news, they all hoped that Fang Yi would succeed in attacking Yang Shen.

In other words, everyone on the entire earth who knows Fang Yi, the true immortal, hopes that he can succeed.

…

The same scene is happening all over the world.

Almost everyone is paying attention, hoping to see Fang Yi cultivate the Indestructible Yang God as soon as possible.

Of course, Fang Yi, who was far away on the island of Java in Indonesia, relying on the power of heavenly thunder to temper his spirit, also hoped that he could succeed.

The first round of tempering has just ended.

Fang Yi is checking the condition of his soul.

The originally milky white soul now had a faint golden color flowing through it.

This kind of gold accounts for a very small proportion, perhaps only one in ten thousand, but the light it releases is incomparably dazzling.

At the same time, Fang Yi felt that this golden energy was far more powerful than the milky white energy.

It seemed like this was the power of God.

The power that only true gods possess!

“It’s really a qualitative change.”

Fang Yi felt the golden energy and thought to himself, "My soul has shone with golden light before, but that was the manifestation of the power of the golden elixir. The golden light that shines now is the power of my soul's self-cultivation, which is completely different in nature."

What surprised him even more was that this golden energy, which was created with the help of the heavenly thunder, was completely different from the power of his soul and primordial spirit in the past. If it was "energy" before, it was now "divine power".

Yes, this kind of "divine power" is almost exactly the same as the power that is gathered through faith to give birth to gods.

Fang Yi understood something vaguely. "Yang Shen, Yang Shen, is essentially transcending to become a god, allowing oneself to possess divinity. Wherever it goes, the true god appears, called Yang Shen. It is a process of true transformation from a human to a god. The reason why immortals are called immortals is because of the existence of Yang Shen."

The theory of Yang Shen was gradually recognized by everyone after the rise of Taoist inner alchemy.

What is Yang Shen?

Wang Mu's "Essentials of Wuzhen Danfa" says: "Taoism advocates the unity of body and spirit, and that the body should remain in the world, and the body and spirit should depend on each other to prolong life. The yang spirit can leave the body, but after thousands of incarnations, it can still return to the body. The highest ideal is to lift the physical body and ascend to heaven."

A story recorded in "The Complete History of True Immortals and Taoism" helps people better understand what Yangshen is.

A Zen monk made an appointment with Zi Yang Zhenren Zhang Boduan to travel to Yangzhou to see the magnolia flowers.

The two of them sat facing each other in a quiet room with their eyes closed, both in a trance.

The souls of both of them arrived in Yangzhou.

Zi Yang Zhenren said to the monk, "I came here with the Zen master today, and each of us picked a flower as a souvenir."

So they each picked a magnolia and brought it back.

It wasn't long before the two came to their senses.

Ziyang asked, "Where is the Zen Master's Qionghua?"

The monk has nothing in his sleeves.

Ziyang picked up a flower and played with the monk, saying, "In this world, there are people like us who study Buddhism and Taoism."

Later, the two gradually became close friends.

The disciples were very curious and asked what the reason was.

Zi Yang Zhenren said: "My great golden elixir path cultivates both nature and life, so when it gathers, it takes shape, and when it disperses, it becomes qi. Wherever it goes, the true god will appear, and it is called the Yang God."

"Those who practice Buddhism (referring to Buddhism) do not understand the great way at first, but want to achieve success quickly. Their bodies are like dead wood, their hearts are like dead ashes, their spirits are kept inward, and their minds are not scattered. When they are in a state of concentration, they produce Yin spirits, which are pure spirit ghosts, not pure Yang immortals. Therefore, immortals do not accept them."

The Record of Sayings from the Joint Sect of Immortals and Buddhas says: "In the practice of cultivation, one should not focus on the upper field, nor indulge in the upper field. Only one yang spirit shines quietly in the upper field, and everything blends together to form a vast realm of emptiness. This is the whole of cultivation, and is the first priority for feeding. When the practice of cultivation is pure, there will be a state of trance. When the state of trance appears, the spirit can be released."

The Wisdom Sutra says: "Out and in, there is no such thing as following the wonderful path, revealing the body in different forms and sharing the true source."

You can imagine how magical Yang Shen is.

Fang Yi knew all this before, but he didn't know why Yang Shen could be so magical.

Now that he has cultivated a trace of "divine power", he vaguely understands why.

Because the Yang Shen has already involved the rules of heaven and earth, the divine power can do things that only supernatural powers can do even without the help of supernatural powers.

For example, there is a theory in Taoist teachings that mercury can turn into gold.

This was something that seemed impossible to achieve in the past.

Because the atomic number of each element is conserved, countless chemical practices have shown that there are no exceptions. The failure of alchemy to turn mercury into gold provides further proof from the opposite side.

But with the knowledge of nuclear reactions, it has become clear that it is entirely possible to turn mercury into gold.

The key is to have high energy to cause changes in the atomic nucleus.

Without the help of supernatural powers, Fang Yi would not be able to accomplish such a feat as turning mercury into gold with the power of his soul or golden elixir alone.

However, cultivating this trace of divine power gave Fang Yi a feeling that he could accomplish such a feat without relying on any magical powers.

Because this is a higher level of energy.

"And I can feel that this divine power has not yet 'transformed' into the true Yang God power, and there is still a lot of room for improvement."

After all, it was only the first time he tempered his soul, and only a small qualitative change occurred.

Fang Yi had a hunch that once he could reach the Yang Shen realm, that ray of energy might be comparable to all the energy possessed by the Yuan Shen.

In addition, divine power brings much more than just a boost in strength.

He also felt the power of thunder because he used thunder to temper his soul. It was no longer the simple understanding of using thunder to control particles, but a deeper understanding of what was produced by the collision of the two energies of creation and destruction.

This made Fang Yi even more determined to cultivate the Yang Shen as soon as possible.

"I'm not the only one hoping that I can quickly refine the Yang God. The whole world seems to be looking forward to it!"

Fang Yi could sense the inner thoughts of people from all over the world and knew that many people were paying attention to him.

He understood why everyone attached so much importance to whether they could achieve Yang Shen, because it was related to the destiny of mankind.

This has added a heavier burden to Fang Yi's shoulders. Now he is carrying the heavy burden of human development and moving forward, and he really needs stronger strength.

Well, since everyone is looking forward to it, I will refine the Yang Shen as soon as possible!
