For Bai Cang, the Golden Core was never a barrier to entry.
The high-grade elixir that others dream of is as easy as taking candy from a baby for him.
Even achieving the third grade of alchemy would be difficult for him.
It's simply because he had no idea how to achieve a elixir below the first grade.
I want to keep a low profile, but my strength won't allow it. (CPU)
Even when the pill reached the first grade, Bai Cang had some doubts.
Although there is no such thing as a top-grade golden elixir in this world, Bai Cang felt that he might be able to break this precedent.
However, out of "respect" for the promotion, Bai Cang still briefly recalled the descriptions of condensing the Golden Core among various cultivation techniques.
The "Nine Heavens Thunder Control True Technique," the "Mysterious Yin Ghost-Slaying and God-Slaying Sword Technique," and even the "Heart-Changing Divine Number" all contain descriptions of the first step in alchemy.
Moreover, opinions differ, with each side having its own merits.
Without exception, they all believed that achieving the highest level of elixir cultivation was a matter of mind and nature.
A low-grade elixir can be obtained through shortcuts, while a mid-grade elixir can be obtained through force.
Only by achieving the highest grade of elixir can one temper one's Dao heart and capture a sliver of divine secrets from the unseen realm.
However, Bai Cang felt that: in fact, even if one's pills are made to a high grade, it is not impossible to forcibly build up one's foundation, it's just that the difficulty is a bit higher.
Thinking this way, Bai Cang suddenly had a sudden realization, and his perfect Dao heart shone brightly.
When a single thought does not arise, the void is empty; when the mortal mind is cleansed, the elixir can be formed. When the mind is like a floating cloud, it is always at ease; when the will is like an old crane, it is carefree and unrestrained.
Upon hearing this maxim, Bai Cang involuntarily took a step forward.
Immediately, two "white-clad" figures appeared on the spot.
The former is his physical body, while the latter is his immortal primordial spirit.
The Heavenly Soul and Earthly Soul are always outside, only the Life Soul resides within the body.
So-called destiny and cause and effect are all spiritual responses generated externally by the two souls of heaven and earth.
However, Bai Cang had already absorbed the karma and merged the three souls of Heaven, Earth, and Man into one, forging an indestructible primordial spirit.
Therefore, his path to achieving immortality was completely different from that of ordinary people.
In a mere instant, he rode the undying primordial spirit, soaring upwards and transforming, and in the blink of an eye, he had left this realm and arrived in the outer void.
A long river of destiny, interwoven with the stars of the heavens, suddenly shone around the immortal primordial spirit, bursting forth with dazzling brilliance.
If anyone who has traveled through countless worlds were to witness this scene, they would surely find that this river of destiny is almost identical to the one that runs through all the worlds.
This was not some illusionary spell, but rather the true River of Destiny, which formed a subtle connection with the golden core that Bai Cang was about to condense, and actively manifested its projection.
At the same time, Bai Cang's physical body "original body" suddenly felt an indescribable, invisible power descending from afar.
It also created an illusory river of life around him, with rays of light shining brightly, each color being red, white, blue, and black, intertwining earth, water, fire, and wind.
Ultimately, they coalesced into stars, some bright, some dim, some large, some small, shining brightly in the illusory river of destiny.
The Phoenix, with its refined food and proper drinking, follows the five tones, embodies the nine virtues, responds to the spirit of the earth, and connects with the heavens.
Connecting with the spirits, suppressing the soul, capturing ghosts, commanding the gods, Fengdu, reincarnation.
The Heavenly Pot, the Forbidden Qi, the Forbidden Law, the Forbidden Emptiness, the Gate of Heaven and Earth.
Swordsmanship, feints, transformations, and magical forms.
Constellations, Dunjia (a form of divination), and Yishu (a system of divination).
Auspicious clouds, imperial qi.
All blessings and talents transform into dazzling stars, illuminating the entire river of life.
From these blessings and talents, many slightly dimmer little stars have emerged.
For example, with the addition of "swordsmanship", techniques such as refining swords into silk, splitting sword light, sword roaring like thunder, and sword performing myriad laws can be derived.
Manipulating creation, the Five Elements Great Escape, mastering the Five Thunders, the Five-Colored Mysterious Light, summoning wind and rain, leaping and controlling, changing size at will, following the laws of heaven and earth, transforming into form, the art of Qimen Dunjia...
All kinds of supernatural powers are the same; they all transform into stars.
The Divine Calculation of the Heart, the Eight Innate Swords, the Jade Book of the Heavenly Emperor, the Nine Heavens Sword Technique, the Five Thunder Scripture of the Heavenly Gang, the True Technique of Controlling Thunder in the Nine Heavens, the Profound Yin Ghost-Slaying and God-Slaying Sword Technique, the Blade of Time, the Book of Square Inches...
All kinds of techniques also manifested, forming another constellation.
Various supernatural powers, techniques, blessings, and talents intertwine and evolve, giving birth to even more stars.
At first, there were only a hundred or so, but in an instant, there were tens of thousands, and finally, hundreds of millions appeared.
At first glance, the illusory River of Fate and the River of Fate that runs through the heavens are exactly the same, both containing billions of stars.
In an instant, Bai Cang felt as if he had transformed into the Emperor of All Heavens, able to control the River of Fate and manipulate the stars.
Every gesture he makes exudes boundless power; with a single thought, he receives the blessing of countless stars.
All the stars in the heavens, countless worlds, cause and effect, and destiny are all under his control.
However, with a single thought, Bai Cang broke free from this delusion and transcended the illusory river of fate interwoven with billions of stars.
"Next, shouldn't we connect with the external world and resonate with our true selves?"
Bai Cang recalled the steps to condense the golden core, but he was somewhat uncertain.
According to the descriptions of various cultivation methods, the next step is for the two souls of heaven and earth to merge with the soul residing in the body, thereby forming a primordial elixir. This is called: "No regrets once the elixir is formed!"
This primordial elixir is the embryonic form of the Dao fruit. If it can be made into a superior elixir, it is called the Golden Elixir.
Gold is immortal; cinnabar is perfect and without flaw.
The state of metal elements embracing and combining, and dragon and tiger intertwining, is the Golden Elixir.
At this stage, a cultivator's physical body and soul become one.
If one can go further, the true spirit will merge with the metal element, forging an indestructible primordial spirit. After escaping the tribulations and attaining the primordial spirit, one can live a long and prosperous life, roam freely through the heavens, and obtain great freedom, great magical power, and great supernatural abilities.
but……
Bai Cang's three souls—Heaven, Earth, and Man—had long since merged into one.
Even the undying primordial spirit has been achieved ahead of schedule.
How should we "connect with the external world and respond to our inner self" next?
Just then, the projection of the River of Destiny in the void outside the sky suddenly dropped downwards.
Bai Cangfu, inspired by a sudden inspiration, immediately harnessed the illusory river of fate and soared upwards in a single bound.
One illusory, one real, the two rivers of life intertwined, yet transformed into a tiny point, sinking into Bai Cang's dantian.
Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, the Eight Primordial Scenes, and all kinds of phenomena converge inward to form a Tai Chi diagram, exuding a mysterious, ancient, simple, and profound aura.
The Tai Chi diagram was perfectly formed, with elements embracing and intertwining, complete and without flaw.
Bai Cang's undying primordial spirit sat upright within the Taiji Dao Diagram, and the eight golden elements suddenly began to transform.
One is divided into two, two into four, four into eight.
In the blink of an eye, the sixty-four immortal golden elements intertwined to form the innate Bagua, enveloping the Taiji Dao Diagram within, like a golden pill.
Within the Golden Elixir, two rivers of destiny, one illusory and one real, intertwine to form the Tai Chi Dao Diagram, containing countless stars, like billions of celestial bodies.
The inner manifestation is Taiji, the outer application is Bagua, formed innately, this is called...
"Innate Taiji Golden Elixir!"
Bai Cang uttered six words in an almost aria-like tone.
I had intended to let out a long roar and recite a poem such as "A golden pill swallowed into my belly, my fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens," to show off my high-class status.
Unfortunately, I'm uncultured, so all I can do is say "Holy crap!"
Most importantly: the promotion has only just begun, and is far from over!
