Chapter 33 The Great Way of Ancient and Modern

There is no time in the mountains, and the heart of Tao has no record of the year! Since the mountain was closed, Xu Changqing has lived an extremely monotonous life every day. He spent most of his time practicing the Shangqing Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Technique. When he was tired of sitting cross-legged, he stood up and punched a set of fists to see the classics placed in the Yizhuang Village. Every day, he would go to the cliff halfway up to practice the Shi Family Shencha and the Dragon Elephant Golden Body Technique. Before he knew it, half a year passed.

After half a year of hard practice, Xu Changqing's skills finally returned to his peak. What made him most happy was that before the Guandi Si was damaged, his Shi Family Divine Fighting had already completed the first level of cultivation. With the assistance of the Dragon Elephant Golden Body Technique, the strength of his golden body actually reached the second level of invincible and invulnerable state. However, it was just the strength of the body itself, and the use of the true power of the gods was still at the first level, far from reaching the point where the gods were me and all laws were vindicated. It was also impossible to use the true power of the gods to block any magic attack, or to ask the gods to go up with every move like the Shi family disciple, and with the power to move mountains, at most, they could only resist some attacks such as spells and magic weapons when they were prepared. The power was only to move some big stones that were embraced by four or five people.

Xu Changqing has always been with the practice of the Shangqing Nine Transformations Golden Elixir Technique, Shi Family Divine Beat and Dragon Elephant Golden Body Technique. Although he was unable to practice the other two techniques as the statue shattered, for him, he was satisfied that his body could practice such strength in a short period of time. What really made Xu Changqing worry about was the other two things that had nothing to do with his cultivation. One was the Thunder Judge Seal placed in the Chufeng Cave for Xu Changqing to get, and the second was the purple light of the Tao character that rushed into his body on the day the Daotu Tu closed the mountain.

The Thunder Judge Seal is one of the highest spiritual treasures of the Thunder Method. It is said that it can trigger the thunder and the devils are killed. However, because it has been missing for many years, it has not been nourished by the Thunder Method, which has caused its magical effect to disappear. After Xu Changqing closed the mountain, in addition to restoring his skills, the most important thing was to refine the Thunder Judge Seal. He took out all the best cinnabar and the two boxes of five thunder talismans, and then used the restored skills to draw fifty pieces of Shangqing Shenxiao Five Thunder God Talisman every day, and used the talisman paper to arrange the spirit gathering array, put the Thunder Judge Seal in the array, and nourished it with the five thunder power in the talisman paper. In this way, he maintained it for two months. After all the best cinnabar and five thunder talismans were used up, the Thunder Judge Seal improved a little, and the thunder power contained made it emit blue and white light from time to time at night.

After that, when Xu Changqing practiced the Shangqing Nine-Turn Golden Elixir Method every day, he would put the Thunder Great Judge Seal on his head, and repeatedly refine it with his three-flavor true fire, and connect his spiritual sense with the Thunder Great Judge Seal bit by bit. However, what he didn't expect was that after more than a month of refining this, his spiritual sense had been combined with the Thunder Great Judge Seal, and his intentions were like an arm to use his wrist. However, the Thunder Great Judge Seal did not have the legendary magical effect, and even the thunder power absorbed before could not be exerted. At most, it was just something to smash people.

Later one day, he practiced the Shi Family Divine Strike at Chen Shi. Unexpectedly, when the divine consciousness entered the statue, the Thunder Great Judge Seal placed in the universe in his sleeve suddenly appeared on its own, and as the divine consciousness rushed to the top of the statue. When the divine statue transformed the power of heaven and earth into the true power of the gods, the Thunder Great Judge Seal also absorbed the true power of the gods little by little from the divine consciousness, and the original copper seal gradually turned into a white jade seal. When Xu Changqing stopped practicing the divine spirit, the Thunder Great Judge Seal did not leave the divine consciousness, but instead turned into a phantom. Surprisingly, the upper dantian returned with the divine consciousness, just like this seal had changed from real to virtual, and turned into something similar to the spiritual object of heaven and earth. As the Thunder Great Judge Seal entered the upper dantian, it immediately broke away from the divine consciousness, and turned into a white jade seal under the refining of the three true fire, and merged with the divine eyes on Xu Changqing's forehead and could no longer be separated.

Xu Changqing was completely at a loss about this change. This change was completely beyond the scope he knew. Among some spiritual treasures he knew, no one could integrate with the spiritual consciousness and the human body like this. All the methods of sacrifice and refining are those of external weapons. This kind of connection with the human mind and soul body, except for the spiritual objects of heaven and earth, only magic weapons similar to the demon banner can be combined with the human consciousness and merged with the body. But Xu Changqing was absolutely sure that the Thunder Grand Judge Seal was not a magic weapon, because no magic weapon could exude the kind of righteous spirit that makes ghosts and gods vain.

Xu Changqing once tried to integrate the divine eyes into the Thunder Great Judge Seal. In addition to the far-sighted and the direction of the divine eyes, there was also an additional ability, which was to release lightning, which was to release lightning, and the power was probably only the power of the small thunder talisman, just like the power in the Thunder Great Judge Seal was also integrated into the divine eyes. Although he didn't understand what was going on, Xu Changqing was sure that the ancient Taoist Dharma was definitely very different from the current Taoist Dharma, and it was missing a lot, especially in the refining of magical instruments and spiritual treasures. The magical instruments and spiritual treasures that can be called names in the cultivation world are all refined by the Song Dynasty before. The more you go forward, the greater the power. This is incomparable to the power of those magical instruments imitated later.

Since Xu Changqing did not see what harm it would be after the Thunder Judge Seal was integrated into the divine eyes, he did not study it again. As his skill gradually recovered, the number of times he asked for the divine eyes increased, and the power of the thunder force shot out by the divine eyes became greater and greater, and the number of times he repeatedly casted the thunder force gradually increased. So far, he can easily shoot out forty lightning light equivalent to ordinary five thunder talismans for ease.

Compared to the seal of the Thunder Grand Judge, the Dao Map's purple light seemed even more strange. After the Dao character was integrated into the mind, it was nothing in the first few days, but when someone at the foot of Taohua Mountain worshiped the Taohua Mountain God, an extremely mixed power of vows came up from the bottom of the mountain, and rushed into the purple light of the word Dao without any change. Later, Chen Xiong built a Taohua Mountain Temple at the foot of the mountain. With the magical phenomenon of Taohua Mountain itself, more and more people came to worship the mountain gods and pray for blessings, and the vows of the word Dao were also getting stronger and stronger. In contrast, the purple light of the word Dao character Dao became smaller and smaller.

In addition, when he practices the Shi Family Divine Fighting, some of the true power of the gods will be absorbed by him, integrated into the purple light of the word Tao, and establish an extremely mysterious connection with his mind.

Since Xu Changqing's mind was connected with the purple light of the word Tao, he always felt indescribable, as if he knew the answer to some questions in his mind but could not sort them out. Although he didn't understand what was going on, he was unwilling to think too much. After all, restoring his skills was the most urgent task. So he practiced naturally for half a year. When the Guandi statue could no longer bear the transformation of the power of the wishes and broke, a stream of only half transformed into half, and the true power of the god mixed with the power of the wishes entered his body with the spiritual consciousness, and poured into the purple light of the word Tao. The purple light of the word Tao was divided into two, and half rushed out of Xu Changqing's body and threw it into the Taoist map on the surface of Taohua Mountain. The other half poured into the consciousness and disappeared.

Although the purple light of the word Tao disappeared, the seal established by the Dao Map did not disappear. Instead, it could produce some wonderful changes under Xu Changqing's intention. The fog no longer absorbed the sunlight, but reflected the light back. In this way, the entire Taohua Mountain seemed golden and shocking. As the believers spread, the people from Liangguang and Liangjiang and other places rushed to burn incense, and Chen Jiachong was more prosperous than before. During this period, the Xuangang Demon also sent people to check it, but they could not go up the mountain no matter what. In the end, Chen Xiong led the masters of Lou Guandao to drive him away.

Compared to his ability to control the Dao map freely, Xu Changqing prefers the things he gets from the Dao Ziguang. Many problems that were only one step away before were solved. His brain, which has been troubled by various cultivation problems for the past six months, was instantly opened. Xu Changqing, who already understood most of the things, couldn't help but talk to the sky. The Dao was insignificant and all things were in the end of the world.

From the content contained in the purple light of the word Tao, Xu Changqing learned that all magic weapons and spiritual treasures, including the Dao Diagram, should have a Dao Real Spirit. It is precisely because of the Dao Real Spirit that the physical magic weapons and spiritual treasures can be integrated into the spiritual consciousness and the body. However, with the age of time, most of the Tao techniques have been lost, and the magic tricks for how to nourish the Dao Real Spirit have also been lost. This has caused all the Dao Real Spirits of the Dao Real Spirits of the magic weapons and spiritual treasures to gradually disappear, and in the end they can only refine spiritual treasures by refining external tools. Compared with the two gates of immortals and Buddhas, the Demon Tao and some ghosts still maintain some previous ancient methods, which can condense demon souls and ghost spirits in the refined demon weapons and ghost weapons, so that they can be put into the body and operate freely.

Due to the special circumstances, this Dao Pagodao map originally had a Dao True Spirit, but the first generation of Yi Manor owner accidentally absorbed most of the Dao True Spirits and realized the Ascension Dao from the ancient methods recorded in it. It was precisely because the Dao Pagodao map lost most of the Dao Real Spirits that the Dao Pagodao map was fatally damaged, and most of the previous abilities disappeared. Although the first generation of Yi Manor owner later used the remaining Dao Real Spirit to repair it, the disappearing ability could never be retrieved. This is why although the nine-rate idle people in the past dynasties had the seal to control the Dao Pagodao map, they could not play a role.

Since all the methods of practicing ancient Taoism in the Dao Diagram were obtained by the first generation of Yizhuang owners, Xu Changqing now only has some theoretical knowledge about practicing ancient Taoism. Even if it is only some theoretical knowledge about the effects and the cultivation process, it is of great help to Xu Changqing. Although it cannot be said that he has realized the truth in one day, it can be regarded as entering the threshold of the Dao.

Xu Changqing discovered that the practice of ancient Taoism emphasizes the dual cultivation of nature and life. Although today's Taoism also advocates dual cultivation of nature, in fact, it gradually focuses on nature and mainly cultivates the soul. Buddhism only focuses on life and cultivates the golden body. This is not changed in one day, but after a long decline in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, gradually, in order to adapt to the changes in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, a series of changes in the cultivation techniques carried out by Taoism and Middle-earth Buddhism. The rare spiritual energy of heaven and earth in later generations is absolutely unable to support the real dual cultivation of nature and life, so that the practitioners of ancient Taoism are far superior to the current practitioners. The magic weapon refining techniques that require dual cultivation of nature and life are also eliminated from the Taoist scriptures little by little with the changes in the practice techniques and eventually disappear completely.

After pursuing the Great Dao, Xu Changqing felt so lucky to have his cultivation method. Xu Changqing's three true fires can be used to refine magic weapons. While raising the true fire in his body every day, he also refines the true spirit of the Great Dao in the Great Dao map, thus allowing the true spirit of the Great Dao to restore the remaining ability, that is, absorbing the power of the wishes of the people at the foot of the mountain, and also absorbing the true power of the gods beaten by the Shi family gods. The true spirit of the Great Dao gradually made up for the cracks that the first generation of Yizhuang owners could not repair under the influence of two forces. Finally, they split into two, integrating the Dao map into Xu Changqing's mind.

The Thunder Great Judge Seal was also refined by the three true fires and fell into an ethereal state, allowing Xu Changqing's spiritual consciousness to be attached to the seal. When the spiritual consciousness was completely integrated with the Thunder Great Judge Seal, the Thunder Great Judge Seal floated on the statue with the spiritual consciousness, absorbed the true power of the divine spirit transmitted from the spiritual consciousness, and merged into the seal to form the true spirit of the Great Dao, and finally merged with the divine eyes.

At present, Xu Changqing has two magic weapons equivalent to ancient spiritual treasures. Although the abilities of these two magic weapons are a bit unreal, as Xu Changqing's strength gradually increases, the power of the magic weapons will also be improved. Especially in the Dao Diagram, although most of the previous abilities have disappeared, and in the end, there are only two abilities left to establish a seal and absorb vow power, these two abilities alone can shock the world of cultivation.

Because Xu Changqing saw the cultivation process of some ancient methods, he also saw that the ancients directly absorbed the power of wishes to refine their bodies. He felt that the skills he practiced now were too chaotic and too long-lasting. So he decided to enter the state of Taoist mind and merge the Shangqing Nine-Turn Golden Alchemy, the Shi Family Divine Beat, and the Dragon and Elephant Golden Body Technique to create a set of his own martial arts.
