Such a magical secret method, even if it is just preached and told, will cause changes in the heaven and earth, blood rain from the sky, and ghosts and gods crying. However, in the mouth of the old man, it is only the first realm. The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Up to this point, it is still a method of action. It has not yet reached the way of inaction. However, it can already dominate among the great products and be invincible."

"If you can practice this method, there will be few who can rival you, both within and outside the six realms."

“If these three bodies are all accomplished.”

"In the realm of great excellence, from ancient times to the present, no one can rival you."

The old man's tone is always gentle and humble.

But the words that came out had a great spirit.

Among the great products, it is invincible!

When one's practice reaches the limit of Taoism, he can be compared to the innate divinity, and his every move and gesture is supernatural. He is called a celestial being, called the Heavenly Lord in Taoism, and called the Buddha in Buddhism. He is given the title of the Great Emperor in the Heavenly Court, and is called the Great Sage among all spirits. He is the supreme being.

But if you have great perseverance and great willpower, you can do what ordinary people cannot do and accomplish things that ordinary people cannot do.

There is no previous one and no successor to the rituals and ceremonies to assist, and those who go one step further are called "Dapin".

If one is a direct descendant of the Three Pure Ones, he will be given the title of Daluo.

The old man said that if one cultivates to the first level, he will be unrivaled among the great masters.

The tone of this sentence was so loud and so arrogant, but when the old man said it in such a gentle tone, it only made people feel that his words were not arrogant at all, but rather gentle and reliable, almost too humble. Qi Wuhuo's mind was slightly shaken, and the old man stroked his beard and sighed:

"However, this way cannot be practiced by those who do not have a self-centered heart. Otherwise, once you practice it, you will make mistakes and fall into nothingness without knowing yourself. This is the way to death. And if your cultivation is too high, you will go too far on your own path and have missed the right time to enter the door. It is also a pity that when your senior brother Xuandu reached the stage where he could practice this method, he had already reached the realm of a true lord."

"The Qi is complete, strong and solid."

"You can no longer follow my method."

"And Wuhuo has cultivated to this point, with all four virtues and obtained the three talents, and the three flowers gathered at the top of the head, and have not yet passed the thunder tribulation. This is just right, just right. When your thunder tribulation comes, you can take this opportunity to use the pure yang energy of heaven and earth to temporarily divide the three flowers. In this way, you can cultivate the first step of this method and save hundreds of years of effort."

The white-haired old man smiled and advised Qi Wuhuo in a gentle tone.

Thunder Tribulation...

Qi Wuhuo muttered these two words to himself.

This is the natural feedback from heaven and earth that comes after a practitioner's three flowers gather at the top of his head. Those with solid practice and pure mind regard it as nothing, while those who only know how to take elixirs to stimulate their qi and have a fickle mind regard it as a death calamity. According to the old man, Qi Wuhuo should accumulate strength so that when the thunder calamity comes, he can use that pure yang energy to assist in his practice.

Qi Wuhuo said thoughtfully: "In this case, doesn't it mean that the deeper the foundation, the purer the thunder tribulation, and the more upright the pure yang energy of heaven and earth that makes up the thunder tribulation, the better the effect of cultivation will be?"

The old man couldn't help but stroke his beard and laughed, saying: "Others regard thunder tribulation as snakes and scorpions, and try to avoid it as much as possible, but Wuhuo is beginning to dislike the thunder tribulation because its energy is too weak and too small?"

The young Taoist's face turned slightly red.

The old man smiled and said, "But do you know that [too much is as bad as too little]?"

"It is a great fortune that you can take this opportunity to save hundreds of years of hard work in meditation. This is all due to your solid foundation and your understanding of the Four Truths. If you deliberately suppress your realm in order to save more time, you will fall into the vicious circle of 'practicing for the sake of practicing'."

"If you don't know why you practice, and you don't know what practice is, then what is the point of practicing?"

The young Taoist was startled and thanked him.

The old man stroked his beard in approval and said, "I have already told you the method of cultivation for the first realm. Following the movement is supernatural power, and reversing it is cultivation. However, even if Wuhuo really enters the door and transforms one into three, there are still many key points of cultivation waiting for you."

"The first is that if you use one Qi to divide into three bodies: essence, energy and spirit, each body will only have the essence, energy and spirit left. At the beginning, you will definitely feel empty and illusory, like a body with a serious illness. It will be difficult to stand and live a normal life."

The old man explained the price, and Qi Wuhuo found it easy to understand.

Practice the Tao, practice perfection, and practice unity.

Having become accustomed to the state of complete spirit and abundant Qi, he would naturally feel confused and uncomfortable when he suddenly had to split one Qi into three. However, Qi Wuhuo recalled what his teacher had just said about the various changes in phases. Without a doubt, those three types of bodies were both a top-notch magical power and the most incredible method of cultivation.

He knew the teacher had something else to say.

So I just waited quietly.

The old man said in a gentle voice: "Such a situation is like a person who is seriously ill and has difficulty walking. At this time, ordinary people will choose to take medicine while also using a cane for assistance. The same is true for you. You need to use cultivation as medicine to improve your cultivation to solve such problems, and you also need a [cane]."

"crutch?"

"It is [something to rely on]."

The old man stroked his beard and said, "The simplest method is to use the three transformations of essence, energy and spirit to form a body. The body is only equivalent to one-third of the normal state, so you need to rely on some top treasures, just like a walking stick. This tool can maintain normal walking in the first stage. When the realm is profound, you can abandon other things and focus on your own cultivation."

Qi Wuhuo seemed to be thinking about something, and said, "It is from action that one gradually moves towards inaction."

The old man smiled and said, “That’s right.”

"In the first stage, you will use the thunder tribulation to transform one Qi into three. You will immediately need to rely on divine weapons and artifacts. They will temporarily support your fragmented body. I originally prepared a few things for you, but now it seems that you already have a lot of objects in your hands that are capable of carrying this magical power."

"And choosing each of these magical weapons will result in different abilities being displayed by your differentiated body at the beginning."

"If you hold a sword, the sword energy will soar into the sky. If you hold a weapon, it will be a replay of the bloody massacre."

"Each has its own true form, incarnation form, Dharmakaya form, and many magical powers. They are not restricted by form and can be used at will. They can be used as mysterious means."

“But I still want to warn you: don’t be greedy.”

"When these three bodies are cultivated to perfection, each has thirty-six holes and thirty-six features in the upper and lower parts, and seventy-two features when combined."

“Although the initial choice is important, don’t be too harsh.”

Qi Wuhuo understood.

The number three has a very important meaning in Taoism.

The old man said that one Qi transformed into the Three Pure Ones, and that each of the three bodies had seventy-two phases. In fact, he was talking about infinite phases. When one reaches a truly profound state, one can change the divine appearance while breathing in and out, and can show the appearance of the Heavenly Venerable or the Heavenly Emperor. How can one be restricted to one phase? If one is restricted to one phase, seventy-two phases, a specific number of phases, is not the Supreme.

But when you get started, you must make a choice.

The young Taoist bowed and said, "Please give me some advice, Master."

The old man laughed carefreely and said, "Wuhuo is cunning."

But since it was his disciple's earnest request, the old man would certainly not refuse anything, so he swept his sleeves, and several items on the young Taoist's body emitted bright light. It was obvious that they were qualified to become treasures that carry the rhyme of Tao in the first stage of Qi Wuhuo's One Qi into Three.

They are:

The Eight Scenery Palace Lantern held in the palm of his hand emitted a brilliant and clear light.

Now it is the Fuxi Qin that was used to destroy Buddha and kill the emperor.

The Blood River Sword that was manifested from the innate blood river.

The back of the right hand is glowing with the foundation of fire.

The seal of the earth god in Qi Wuhuo's body is surrounded by magical weapons such as Zhou Jue's Yin Tian Pao.

The Human Emperor Seal that Nan Qingzi lent him.

In an instant, the young Taoist's body was full of flowing light, brilliant and magnificent, and quite clear. The old man paused.

so much……

This kid...

The old man felt helpless.

In front of him, his disciple was covered in brilliant light, and was top-notch from head to toe. These treasures were enough to carry the great supernatural powers he had passed down. What was even more outrageous was that there were several other items, such as the hairpins given by Hou Tu and the sword sheaths transformed by Huang Quan. Although they were qualified to carry supernatural powers, they lacked the Taoist charm and were not compatible enough with Qi Wuhuo, so they did not show such a magnificent light.

So many magic weapons, so many...

There are more than Xuandu.

Rather than calling him Xuanwei, it would be better to call him a nickname, such as Duobao Taoist.

The old man was helpless in his heart. He paused for a moment while stroking his beard, but he spoke in a calm tone without changing his expression:

"...Well, it's OK."

The young Taoist said apologetically, "My disciple's cultivation is not enough, and I don't have enough treasures on me. I am sorry to make you laugh."

The old man paused as he stroked his beard and pulled it.

“…”

"Forget it, forget it, don't mention it, don't mention it!"

The old man laughed and scolded, saying:

"I will show you what it would look like if your spirit and energy were combined with these treasures..."

The old man just swept his sleeves, and pure white energy rose and changed from Qi Wuhuo's body, falling on the many treasures. Each treasure emitted a brilliant afterglow, and combined with Qi Wuhuo's energy, they showed one posture after another. In fact, these postures were all among the [Thirty-six Caves and Seventy-two Phases] that could be achieved later, but they were just changed in advance.

Next to the Blood River Sword, a young man appeared, wearing a blood-stained robe, with black hair tinged with dark red, a jade hairpin, and a free and easy manner, carrying a long sword on his back, with a handsome and evil face. He just made sword gestures, smiled but said nothing, a river of blood surged under his feet, and killing followed behind him, cutting off all life, with great killing and great mercy, the Blood Sea Heavenly Lord with Infinite Mercy.

The flame flickered in the Eight Scenery Palace Lantern and transformed into a young boy holding an Eight Scenery Palace Lantern, wearing a clean Taoist robe and smiling freely. He was the Supreme Xuanwei Zhenren.

Fuxi's zither moved slightly, and then an elegant and gentle young man walked out. He seemed to be the grown-up appearance of the young Taoist priest, but he was wearing a long robe with wide sleeves, and his black hair hung down his back. He had a warm and gentle smile, but he seemed to be 99% similar to Fuxi, and there was a hint of madness in his brows. He was the orthodox Huaxu, the king of the world.

The manifestation of Fire Star's foundation turned into a god with fiery red hair, handsome eyebrows and eyes, but arrogant.

The Seal of the God of Earth, or rather the Seal of the God of Earth with the power of Zhou Jue's Yintian robe attached, transformed into the Lord of Mount Tai.

The Human Emperor Seal directly transformed into the figure of the Human Emperor.

The many changes all have their own characteristics and manifestations. They are all Qi Wuhuo's changing forms, but they all display completely different skills and energy. They display completely different energy, some are violent and crazy, some are overbearing and powerful, some are calm and elegant, and some contain murderous intent, and so on.

"Is this... the seventy-two phases?"

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "The number of the Zhoutian is 360. If you subtract the five elements from this, the five elements are 72 each. So 72 is used to show that the Zhoutian cycle is endless. When I say 72, it does not mean 72 types. There are also 73 and 74 types. They are just figurative references. Because they are infinite, I use 72 to force it."

One Qi transforms into Three Pure Ones, and Three Pure Ones give rise to all dharmas.

In a nutshell——

The young Taoist finally understood the most powerful Dao mentioned by his teacher, and subconsciously said, "Isn't this the Dao?"

The old man was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahahaha, it's my disciple!"

"It's my disciple!"

The old man laughed for a long time, then he reached out and gently stroked the young Taoist's head. He smiled lovingly and said, "As you said, as you saw, one Qi transforms into three pure ones, which is the [Tao]. These objects can all serve as your support for the first step. After the thunder tribulation, the teacher will be waiting for your choice."

Qi Wuhuo nodded, and the old man swept his sleeves, and all the magic weapons returned to Qi Wuhuo's side.

The spirit inside the Fuxi Qin was originally quite frivolous and casual, but at this moment it was as if dead, not uttering a word.

The old man took out a jade slip from his sleeve and handed it to Qi Wuhuo. The ratio of its length to width was two to one, just like seventy-two phases compared to thirty-six holes. It was all white with a faint clear light on it. The young Taoist was puzzled and said, "What is this..."

"This is a test for you. Well, it can also be considered a gift."

The old man stroked his beard and said, "There is a magical power inside. It is not extraordinary, but it will be of great use to Wuhuo."

The old man paused for a moment before he smiled and said, "But, the teacher left a seal for you inside."

"It can only be broken with Qi."

"If you can crack Wuhuo as soon as possible and learn it as soon as possible, the teacher will reward you."

The old man's voice was brisk, and seemed quite happy, with a hint of joking in it.

But when Qi Wuhuo asked, the old man didn't say anything.

The jade slip was dimly glowing. Qi Wuhuo tried to input his own Qi into it, but encountered many changes. Sometimes it changed left and right, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly, and sometimes it reversed. It was unpredictable. Even Qi Wuhuo could not penetrate deeply into it with his Qi in one breath and break the seal, so he had to take back his Qi.

But the old man laughed and waved his hand at the young Taoist, saying:

"If you can cultivate this magical power within seven days."

"Then come and look for me."

As he spoke, he gently patted the young Taoist's forehead three times.

Look at him with a smile.

The young Taoist thought for a moment: "Seven days, three..."

Before he could react, the old man had already gone far away. The young Taoist had no choice but to collect his thoughts, put the jade slip into his sleeve, and quickly catch up.

The breakfast was simple and plain, with the best vegetables of the season, fish that the villagers had just caught in the morning, chickens from the chicken coop, and pickled crispy side dishes. The crispness of the side dishes and the rice porridge went down perfectly.

After breakfast and packing up the utensils, Qi Wuhuo walked down the mountain while touching the jade slip.

He was going to give lectures to the children in the town at the foot of the mountain, and also to buy some things and visit the swordsmith. On the way, he was touching the jade slip with one hand, trying to break the seal with his own Qi. However, this seal seemed to be specially prepared for Qi Wuhuo. Even though his Qi was strong and long-lasting, and he was proficient in the four directions and could change endlessly, he was still suppressed.

If you continue to practice like this, even if the jade slip is blank.

When the seal is released, Qi Wuhuo's Qi will have undergone significant training and changes, far beyond what it was before.

Another attempt to break the seal failed.

The young Taoist sighed with regret, thinking that his teacher's move was really amazing. In the distance, a city was faintly visible. Qi Wuhuo put away the jade slip, but heard a familiar voice shouting, "Brother Qi? Brother Qi!"

Qi Wuhuo paused slightly.

Looking up, he saw a handsome young man standing not far away. He was wearing brocade and a white robe, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist and a wooden hairpin in his hair. He had a bright and gentle smile and was waving at him.

Zhang Xiaoyu.

Qi Wuhuo was slightly surprised.

Because this young Jade Emperor today is actually——

Alone?
