There's no doubt that Lao Han is fooling Bai Cang.
According to Lao Han, once one has more than a hundred acupoints, one can achieve perfect cultivation and possess innate minor supernatural abilities.
However, after Bai Cang advanced to the Hundred Apertures stage, he discovered that opening the Hundred Apertures had nothing to do with achieving perfect cultivation, and achieving perfect cultivation had no necessary connection with awakening innate supernatural abilities.
When the jade ball jumps out, it signifies the completion of one's cultivation, qualifying one to advance to the foundation of the Dao, also known as "perfecting the Qi cultivation."
Having a hundred acupoints is merely the minimum basic requirement for "perfecting Qi cultivation," not a guarantee of success.
If one's foundation is insufficient or one's comprehension is lacking, and one fails to transcend the Jade Pill, let alone a hundred apertures, even if one has three hundred apertures, one will forever remain at the Qi Refining level and will be unable to find the path to advancing to the Foundation of the Dao.
Even a solid foundation is just the basics; a sudden flash of insight is the key to transcending the Jade Pill and achieving perfect Qi cultivation.
Some scions of powerful families have no shortage of superior cultivation techniques and all kinds of resources, but they never hope to establish a foundation in the Dao, simply because they lack innate talent and comprehension.
Resources can be accumulated, and even physical endowments such as physique can be altered through rare and precious materials.
However, a sudden flash of insight is something that no family background can compensate for.
Just like a wild horse galloping freely or a gazelle hanging its horns on a tree, leaving no trace, you either understand it or you don't, and you can never force it.
Just like the saying goes: if it works, it works; if it doesn't, it doesn't. No matter how much you rest, you can't give her a perfect honeymoon experience.
This is the wonder of cultivating immortality!
The accumulation of resources and the support of family background can only play a supporting role. One must be strong oneself to succeed; one does not need a whip to spur one on.
In fact, from the foundation of the Dao, every step thereafter places higher demands on mysterious and profound "endowments" such as temperament, comprehension, Dao heart, and opportunity.
Even the biological children of a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord, if they lack sufficient endowment, will never achieve longevity, and the "like begets like" principle will never apply.
Running water never stagnates, and a frequently used door hinge never rusts; perhaps this is the meaning of "the one that has vanished."
"So, it seems my comprehension is actually pretty good!"
Bai Cang looked inward and sensed the inscription on the "Five Elements Escape Technique," and couldn't help but show a smug expression.
The instant he opened all his acupoints, he leaped out of the jade pill and advanced to the level of "perfect Qi Refining".
Who dares to say he lacks talent? Sometimes, comprehension is more important than physical aptitude.
At this point, Bai Cang clearly had the qualifications to advance to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Furthermore, due to his solid foundation, he does not need any resources to assist him. With just a thought, he can instantly forge his Dao body and solidify his Dao foundation.
Even if one only advances through the Hundred Apertures stage, one will never stop at the Lower Grade Dao Foundation.
At the very least, they have a "future" of reaching the mid-level Dao Foundation stage.
Of course, Bai Cang would never be so short-sighted as to abandon his "hard-earned" excellent situation in order to condense some "middle-grade Dao foundation".
Only by striving for perfection at every step can one have the chance to "transform into a dragon upon encountering favorable winds and clouds," embark on the path to immortality, and attain the status of a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord.
Just as opening all the orifices does not equate to "perfecting one's Qi cultivation," perfecting one's practice is merely the foundation for awakening innate supernatural powers.
If you lack a solid foundation and sufficient understanding, "even if you are given the opportunity, you won't be able to use it!"
For example, Bai Cang's awakening of the "Five Elements Escape Technique," a peerless divine power, seems accidental, but is in fact inevitable.
The greatness of the "Five Tones of Music" needs no further explanation, and the "Five Yin Magic" also deserves much credit.
What may seem like an unorthodox method is actually a grand and righteous path: refining the five internal organs with the five ghosts, cultivating the five gods internally, transforming the five demons externally, emptying the five aggregates, and harmonizing the five elements.
As for why he had no foundation in escape techniques, but instead had studied the "Five Elements Yin Thunder Technique" extensively, he ended up awakening the "Five Elements Escape Technique" instead of the "Heavenly Gang Five Thunder Technique".
It can only be said that one's appearance reflects one's heart, and the same applies to innate talents and supernatural abilities.
Some people's nature clearly does not support him embarking on the domineering and fierce path of Lei Fa.
However, by now, most of the substantial resources that Bai Cang had accumulated in the early stages have been realized.
If one wants to awaken another innate divine ability when one reaches the 200th level, then one needs to accumulate more knowledge and lay a more solid foundation.
"In that case, I really have no choice but to go to this secret realm!"
Working in isolation is unacceptable; we must "open our eyes and see the world"!
Thinking of this, Bai Cang immediately sat up and went to get up.
With a single leap, he emerged from the golden gate amidst billowing clouds and howling winds and thunder, heading straight for the outside of the mountain gate.
Riding the clouds and carrying the blue sky, wielding supernatural powers and looking down on all heroes, how exhilarating!
In just a moment, Bai Cang rushed out of the mountain gate, crossed the "Inner City", and once again arrived at the outer city of Taiyin.
The clear, melodious female voice entered my ears again, but my state of mind was completely different.
"The vast blue sky stretches endlessly, the sun and moon illuminate the golden and silver terraces. Rainbows are their garments, the wind their steeds, and the cloud lords descend in droves. Tigers play the zither, phoenixes draw their chariots, and immortals stand in rows like hemp..."
"Chilong Temple reminds you: There are countless paths in life, but obeying the law is the most important. Those who act improperly will bring tears to their loved ones' eyes..."
Bai Cang stood atop a cloud, looking down below.
Layer upon layer of flying eaves and brackets, everywhere green bricks and blue tiles.
One towering building after another lay beneath his feet, and suddenly he felt that these buildings were not so beautiful, "too low" to reach his feet.
The endless stream of people is as insignificant as ants.
That feeling of "I am a celestial being, looking down upon the human world" became even stronger.
Even the highways "high in the sky" seem to be separated by invisible barriers, creating a hierarchy.
Streams of light shimmered as various paper cranes, ritual implements, and birds raced along the invisible yet well-planned "roads."
However, upon seeing Bai Cang riding the soaring azure cloud, everyone stopped in their tracks, bowed deeply, and proclaimed, "We pay homage to the Immortal Master."
Even if they are in a hurry and every second counts, they dare not be ambiguous about this kind of thing.
Even though they were all very clear that the "immortal masters" who were rushing around above probably couldn't see them at all.
However, they dared not be negligent in the slightest, preferring to waste time rather than gamble with the "Immortal Master's" magnanimity and discernment.
The "Cloud Path" above the "Road" is a privilege reserved for the upper echelons of the Red Dragon Palace.
Throughout the entire Heshan Sect, apart from the Dao Foundation True Persons such as the Masters of the Three Capitals and Five Courts, only the Nine True Disciples could be so "unscrupulous".
For the cultivators of Taiyin Outer City, this was already a "divine figure," and could not be taken lightly.
No matter how powerful you are in Taiyin City, or how well-connected or influential you are in the Zongguan Mountain Gate, these "immortals" can bring you down from the clouds and plunge you into the deepest hell with just a word.
Don't you see, the entrance to the former guest hall is now being used by night soilers in the city?
When the true master goes on a tour, all cultivators bow down!
When Bai Cang first arrived in Taiyin City, it was like a country bumpkin entering the city.
Now, just a few months later, he has already stood at the top of the food chain, becoming a powerful "big shot" and a "superhuman".
However, this thought only flashed through Bai Cang's mind for a moment.
In just a short while, he had already rushed back and forth, leaving Taiyin City.
Meanwhile, news of "Bai Zhenchuan" leaving the pass to travel also reached the ears of many interested people.
The seemingly calm and deep Taiyin City and Zongguan Mountain Gate suddenly began to stir with undercurrents!
