Hou Tu Huang Di Ji watched the young Taoist's cultivation naturally and smoothly, and he broke through to the level of a real person of this era. The so-called real person is one whose spirit is complete, his Qi is sufficient, his body is light and healthy, and he has a long life. He will not drown in water or burn in fire. Ordinary people who break through all meditate and refine Qi in seclusion for a hundred years.

The disciples of Yuqing, the direct descendants of Sanqing, the disciples of Siyu, as long as they are not innate creatures.

Then at this stage, everyone needs to sit in meditation, take pills and eat qi, concentrate on one thing, in order to break through and advance. This stage has nothing to do with the teacher. Practicing Taoism is all about cultivating oneself. There are very few people who can break through so naturally. The Queen Mother of the Earth God was surprised by this, and then Gu Yuanying Yuanjun smiled and said:

"You can break through the realm by doing or not doing."

"His path to the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head should be smoother in the future."

Yuanying Yuanjun nodded slightly: "It should be so."

“Once this level of True Person is solidified, you will be a true True Person. If you have a chance to become an Immortal, you can receive the Heavenly Emperor’s edict and become a Heavenly Immortal official. You can eat elixirs and peaches to extend your lifespan. Even if you don’t reach the level of a Human Immortal with the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top of the Head, it is normal for you to live to one or two thousand years old.”

"However, his roots have been severely damaged. If he wants to stabilize his realm, he should need ten years of cultivation."

Yuanying Yuanjun made a judgment.

The young Taoist saw Hou Tu Huang Di Ji, and then stood up and walked towards him.

He slowed down his pace and did not disturb the living beings who were immersed in the Dharma talk.

During the first step, the Qi in the body still radiates outwards because of its extreme perfection.

In the second step, the Qi has begun to converge.

After three steps, his Qi had been completely gathered inside, his divine light was hidden, his aura was gentle, as if he was an ordinary person standing in front of Hou Tu Huang Di Ji and Yuan Ying Yuan Jun. The Zhenren level required several years of seclusion and polishing, but in just these three short steps, it had been transformed into perfection and completely stabilized.

Yuanying Yuanjun's voice paused slightly.

There was a hint of surprise on his face.

Within three steps, it is equivalent to ten years of hard work.

To reach the realm of a true person, to reach a solid foundation?

Yuanying Yuanjun asked: "Have you practiced the real person's polishing method before?"

The young Taoist looked at the sword-wielding woman in front of him and replied, "If I really cultivate to this level, then this Qi is something I control. How can it take so long to completely master it? If I cultivate to this level but cannot control my Qi, it would be like a person who has grown up but cannot walk."

"That means I was in a hurry to break through before I even cultivated to perfection at the previous level."

"The so-called tempering is just to make up for the previous practice."

Yuanying Yuanjun frowned slightly, thinking that the young Taoist seemed to have some truth in what he said, but those who broke through the realm and reached the level of a real person all needed to spend time to control the surging Qi to prevent their own Qi from leaking out. How could this polishing work be covered up with just one sentence? He couldn't help but say:

"What is this secret method?"

The young Taoist thought for a moment and replied, "Probably the basics."

"Base……"

Yuanying Yuanjun was speechless.

I don't know how the young man in front of me said the word "basic".

From his expression, it was clear that he really believed this, and for a moment he felt speechless.

But then the young Taoist bowed slightly to the dignified and elegant woman, saying, "I am honored to meet the Empress Yuanjun of Yuanying..."

Yuanying Yuanjun was stunned, then he realized what was happening and looked at the woman with bright features and dignified temperament.

He was speechless, sighed, and said in a calm tone:

"My lady."

'Yuan Ying Yuan Jun' slightly turned his eyes, pretending not to see Yuan Ying Yuan Jun's gaze and sight, and only looked at the young Taoist, and said with a smile: "It's natural, it will come naturally. This kind of breakthrough is a rare thing. Come here, kid."

The young Taoist looked at Yuanying Yuanjun, then looked at the "Empress" and sighed.

Even a Taoist master with a peaceful mind and great talent still has to come here obediently.

Then the woman rubbed the young Taoist's head with her palm and said with a smile: "Be good."

Then he said to himself: "The Dao you have realized and the methods you have passed on are even higher than I thought. In this case, I should give you some gifts as a gift to celebrate your breakthrough. There is no need to refuse in a hurry... After all, you are still my Earth God lineage."

Hou Tu Huang Di Ji raised his hand to stop the young Taoist from refusing, and asked with a smile:

"However, can Wuju know the path of cultivation?"

Qi Wuhuo said calmly: "I know."

The Fierce Tiger Mountain God left Helian Mountain only after he stepped higher and gathered the Three Flowers at the top of his head. Qi Wuhuo once watched him condense the Three Flowers, so he knew that the Three Flowers were actually the Three Huas. But later he learned the great way from his teacher. Although he did not tell him the specific methods and acupoints of practice, the direction was pointed out.

The young Taoist raised his right hand, and the majestic Qi began to flow.

The spirit is complete and the qi is sufficient.

However, the practice of Taoism is not simply to accumulate strength. The core is actually to comprehend the great way of heaven and earth, which has brought oneself closer to the great way. At this moment, forcibly accumulating the quantity and quality of Qi will not only fail to break through to the next realm, but will make oneself further away from the Tao.

This is the Qian Gua, Upper Nine, The arrogant dragon will regret.

The young Taoist said, "If you want to shrink it, you must first stretch it. If you want to weaken it, you must first strengthen it. If you want to abolish it, you must first promote it. If you want to take it away, you must first give it. This is called subtle and bright. The soft and weak overcome the hard and strong. A fish cannot escape from the deep, and a country's sharp weapon cannot be shown to others."

"Now that my Qi is strong, I should restrain it."

"In the practice of Taoism, the first stage is to transform the three into two, which can lead to the innate one qi."

"And [Transformation of Spirits] is the middle level."

Hou Tu Huang Di Ji felt like testing Qi Wu Huo, so she smiled and asked him to follow her and stand beside her. At this moment, she realized that the woman was quite tall, but very calm and natural. She asked with a smile, "So, what is Zhongguan?"

The young Taoist said: "The root of a person is the three souls and seven spirits, which are the original spirit."

"Now that the Qi is full, it must be combined with the Yuan Shen."

"To make the Qi return to the spirit, to transform the two into one, is to gather at the top of the head."

"After this step, strictly speaking, there will be no more Yuan Qi. After the middle level, only the spirit will remain."

"And the god at this moment can no longer be called the primordial spirit, but rather a point of pure spiritual light that contains Qi. The Taoist sect calls this the realm of the [Yang God]."

Hou Tu Huang Di Ji smiled and said, "Yes, but what Wu Huo said is only the first step."

"It's for the October Pass."

"It is a metaphor for entering the spirit with Qi, which is a true return to the innate state. The initial conception of the Yang Spirit is as important as pregnancy and birth. Because pregnancy in the human world takes ten months, your predecessors in the Dao sect called this the Ten-month Pass. But you must know that this ten months is only a metaphor for the importance of this step, and it is not something that can be completed in ten months."

“So, your sect called it the [Zhongguan] because too many disciples were obsessed with the number of ten months.”

Hou Tu Huang Di Ji said: "This level is extremely difficult. The movement of the primordial spirit is not trivial. This first step is called [Moving the Cauldron]."

The young Taoist pondered and said, "In the alchemy method, Qi is the cauldron. This cauldron movement is to move a bit of the soul into the [alchemy cauldron], right?"

Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi knew the young Taoist's understanding, smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right."

"But the place of the soul is extremely important."

"In ordinary practice, you need to protect your soul. You can't even let it move randomly, for fear of damaging your soul. But this step requires you to condense a little spiritual light from your soul, and then let it fall into your Qi, using it as a furnace to refine it. If you make a mistake in just moving this step, it will cause damage to your soul. Not to mention a breakthrough, I'm afraid you will be seriously injured on the spot."

"This step is to leave the mortal world and ascend to heaven."

"Every step is difficult and dangerous. If you are not careful, you will die, or even die with your soul."

“Even the first step is so difficult, many people died and were injured, and many people broke their path. That’s why the Southern Pole Immortal Emperor felt pity for the suffering of the people, so he created the [Emperor of Heaven’s Talisman Method]. Cultivators whose paths have collapsed can ask for a talisman and ascend to immortality. Although they cannot survive death, they can still achieve immortality.”

"The style of the Southern Emperor of Immortality is different from that of the Northern Emperor. He will leave a glimmer of hope for all living beings."

“So, those who are confident that they can break through the path of Taoism should abandon the talismans and ascend to immortality step by step.”

“Those who have failed in their quest for the truth can still retain that last glimmer of hope and seek immortality.”

"This is [Moving the Tripod]."

The young Taoist said: "The Great Emperor of Longevity in the South Pole..."

"Um."

Hou Tu Huang Di Ji said: "In his eyes, there is no such category as good and evil. In other words, describing him and Bei Di as good and evil is narrow-minded. Even if you are his enemy, he will leave a glimmer of hope. If Bei Di considers you an enemy, he will immediately send down an endless slaughter. He also has the best temper. He will not get angry even if you curse at him."

"It was born in the first calamity era."

"It already had life before Daozu, and it is immortal."

"I once withstood the direct blow of the Jie Sword and survived, and I killed Shangqing's fragmented body."

"Among the Four Imperial Gods, one has reached the pinnacle, even surpassing the Three Pure Ones."

"The killing of the Northern Emperor, the immortality of the Southern Pole, and the weapons of the Gou Chen."

The woman smiled, then raised her eyes slightly and said, "Ahem..."

"And, Hou Tu's profound virtue, bearing all things, maternal compassion, the cycle of life and death..."

Yuan Ying Yuan Jun coughed and said, "My Lady."

The woman with bright and clear features blinked and said naturally:

"It's just that Daozu's strength lies in his lack of weaknesses."

"The Four Imperial Gods all have some aspect that is even superior to the Taoist Ancestor, but the Three Pure Ones are all perfect."

“Seek the right path and you will find the whole.”

"But the Four Imperial Guardians seek the extreme, lose the perfection, make mistakes, and are ultimately different."

"You must remember this without hesitation."

Yuanying Yuanjun was not surprised that Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi told these directional things to the young man, because Taiyi Jiuku Tianzun had also been taught in this way by Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi Niangniang. Her personality was gentle and peaceful, encompassing everything. No matter how far these descendants could go, she would point out the direction for them.

The young Taoist asked, "Then what about Emperor Haotian?"

So Hou Tu Huang Di Ji paused for a moment, and after a long moment, he said, "Him? None of his moves are the strongest. He is the kind of seeker who will take action for an idea, and a practitioner of the Way. The path he takes is different from the rest of us. He [proves the Way with force]."

"The reason why Heaven is Heaven is because Haotian is still here."

"but……"

Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi returned to the topic and did not continue.

The young Taoist asked, "Emperor Donghua, who is your subordinate?"

After a long pause, Hou Tu Huang Di Ji smiled and sighed, "It is Doubu, but not Beidi. Beidi is now inclined to law enforcement, and Doubu is very likely to be on the side of Emperor Gou Chen, the emperor in charge of weapons. He was once used to balance the Nanji Changsheng Emperor and the Beiji Ziwei Emperor at the same time."

"Among the Four Imperial Guardians, it is used to balance and adjust the North and South Poles, and is also in charge of the three elements of heaven, earth, and man."

"The Lord controls all spirits and holds the map of all gods."

"He should be in seclusion recently."

"Eight thousand years ago, after Gou Chen went into seclusion, Donghua should have had the idea of ​​attaining a higher level of enlightenment, and then replacing him and achieving the honorable position of Yu."

The young Taoist was quiet, and then the Earth Goddess smiled and said, "It's just that if you are willing, you can also receive the imperial edict from the Southern Pole Changsheng Great Emperor and become an immortal official, or seek a way to immortality. If you are interested in the Great Dao, you must continue to practice hard."

"After reaching the stage of [Moving the Cauldron], your Primordial Spirit has fallen into the Cauldron of Primordial Qi, but it needs to be tempered by your [True Fire]."

“For this step, you need to do it without action, enter into a state of concentration, observe and gradually reach the state of inaction.”

"There must be four positive things."

"Life comes from interaction, life comes from coordination, life comes from tranquility, life comes from rest."

“Then there will be a [Fire Pearl] in your cauldron, which will only move inside and no longer run outside. This step is called [Primordial Spirit Illumination] in Taoism, and is revered as [Yin Yang Unconsciousness] in Buddhism. This is the state of [attaining the True Emptiness]. After that, your mind will be free from birth and death.”

"The mind is not born or destroyed, so it can dissolve its yin and transform its yang."

"Before this, you were refining your Qi to make it stronger, but this step is to do the opposite."

"Qi gradually gathers from perfection, from slight movement to stillness and then completely transforms, the movement of true meaning starts from silence and ends with no awareness."

“Once the Qi spirit is settled, the Yin energy will gradually decrease and the Yang energy will gradually increase. If one can enter the stage of [wisdom without use, transforming consciousness into wisdom], then the fetus can be completed and the Yang spirit can be achieved. At this stage, it is no longer an ordinary method.”

"Buddhists call it the Six Supernatural Powers, which proves the six great supernatural powers of Buddhism."

"And the Taoist sect is the Yang God, and can use the Yang God to go out into the world."

The young Taoist listened quietly, and then asked, "Can you be an immortal?"

Hou Tu Huang Di Ji shook his head and said, "No."

"At this moment, the Qi spirit is in your cauldron. You should use the migration method to move it to the Dantian above the Niwan Palace."

"At this moment, the upper Dantian will transform into a vast void, illuminated by the Yang Spirit."

"If it can be accomplished, it will be the gathering of three flowers at the top of the head."

"The three lights sank, and the Yin Qi retreated completely, which then naturally triggered changes in the heaven and earth. With the might of thunder, which is the most yang and the most powerful, the last of the Yin Qi in the body was driven away, and the Pure Yang Dao foundation, the foundation of the immortal, was achieved. Do you know how difficult this practice is? On this road, every step is filled with murderous intent, and every step leads to death. I don't know how many people with strong foundations have died on this road."

"It is better to say that the foundation is strong, the yin and yang are abundant, and it is time to shed the yin and obtain the pure yang."

“There will be greater difficulties.”

"The great way of heaven and earth is like hitting water with a stone. The greater the force and the bigger the stone, the bigger and heavier the splash will be. If you seek the highest, you will be subject to the heaviest. It is not possible to easily cross it with a strong foundation. A strong foundation means more bodies need to be transformed and more vitality is needed, which means that the thunder will be purer, more powerful and more domineering."

Hou Tu Huang Di Ji sighed and said, "That's why all the real people seek talismans."

“It is extremely difficult to attain the Great Way.”

"The path of cultivation is difficult and arduous."

Hou Tu Huang Di Zhi smiled and said:

"No doubt, is it possible to hold on?"

The young Taoist bowed and said seriously, "Thank you, senior, for your guidance."

The woman smiled and said, "Senior?"

The young Taoist said: "...Thank you, my lady."

"So, what's the name?"

So the Supreme Xuanwei Immortal sighed and said, "No doubt, thank you for your guidance, Madam..."

Hou Tu Huang Di Ji smiled and said, "I said before that I would give you a reward depending on how you preach."

"So, are you satisfied with this gift?"

The young Taoist replied, "Now that I have heard the great truth, I have nothing more to ask for."

The Queen Mother Hou Tu Huang Di Ji nodded and left with satisfaction.

Many mountain gods and earth gods were so grateful that they let the young Taoist leave, but they were still reluctant to leave. One day, Qi Wuhuo returned home and received another message from the young girl. After opening the message, it turned out that it was the old yellow cow who heard some news and came to look for him. The old yellow cow said directly: "Wuhuo, I heard from Yunqin that you might be going to the demon country?"

The young Taoist nodded.

So the old ox looked a little embarrassed.

After several inquiries, the old cow finally said, "Ahem, Wuhuo, you know that I, Uncle Niu, also lived in the territory of the Demon Country. Later, I was captured by that old bald donkey with stinky eggs. I finally got out, but he blocked the door for thousands of years. The contact with the people below is getting less and less. Ahem, if you want to go to the Demon Country, can you help Uncle Niu check the situation there?"

"We must know what the old brothers are like now."

The old ox said, "Besides, you will need monsters when you go to the Monster Kingdom. Helping them will also help you."

The young Taoist priest naturally agreed.

The old ox laughed loudly and said, "Hahaha, I knew you, Wuhuo, are reliable."

Then he put his mind at ease, no longer embarrassed and hesitant, and said straightforwardly:

"Uncle Niu has about a dozen ways in the demon country."

"Would you like to pick one?"
