Chapter 150: The Road to Refining Qi, Immortality
The aura of decay and decay permeated the Dao Palace, and the blue bricks underfoot were full of cracks.
Chu Zheng took a breath and carefully looked through the entire Taoist palace.
After a while, he stopped, not finding anything that could be repaired.
Everything is irreparable, as if all traces left before have been erased.
Under the broken plaque, Chu Zheng sat on the broken stone steps, looking at the red clouds in the sky, lost in thought.
The restored Taoist statue looks so similar to his appearance, and the newly restored Taoist palace has returned to its original appearance.
All of this is shrouded in a cloud of confusion, making it difficult to see clearly.
For a long time, Chu Zheng gathered his thoughts and began to sort out the complicated information in his mind.
Although the Treasure Record of Eternal True Tribulation is a tenth-level exercise, it does not contain much content about the route of performing the exercise.
The previous stages are also about a hundred days of spiritual transformation, forging jade bones, building Tao embryos, molding golden elixirs, refining souls, returning to emptiness, and combining Tao.
After joining the Tao, you will become an immortal.
The method of refining the qi in the early stage of the Eternal True Tribulation Treasure, and the way it moves the heavens, is not much better than the general outline of the great celestial qi movement. It can even be said to be very similar, with only some minor adjustments.
After He Dao became an immortal, there was no specific method of practice in the Eternal True Tribulation Treasure Record, only the route of Qi refining had some changes.
But overall, it is still the Qi refining method and has not changed much.
This is just like what Ji Yuyan said to him at the beginning. After becoming a master of Qi, there is no specific path to practice and he can only rely on accumulating cultivation through many calamities.
The Heavenly Immortal for One Hundred Tribulations, the Mysterious Immortal for Ten Thousand Tribulations, and the Golden Immortal for Millions of Tribulations.
Immortal through hundreds of millions of kalpas, stealing the heavens to live longer for oneself, and escaping from the heavens to act recklessly, only then can one become the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
The incredible thing about the Treasure Record of Eternal True Tribulation lies precisely in this method of calamity.
The Qi Shi's cultivation path involves great calamities everywhere. No matter how strong your cultivation is or how cautious you are, you cannot guarantee that you will be able to avoid danger every time.
Therefore, most Qi practitioners rarely die a good death, and being able to live safely until the end of their lives is almost a rare blessing.
Especially after joining the Dao and entering the realm of immortals, the calamity will increase exponentially, and it will be difficult to survive with your own strength.
Most of the Qi Refiners are small in number, and there are often only two or three disciples in a lineage. It is even more unrealistic to rely on the strength of the master's sect to avoid disaster.
Moreover, in the Treasure Record of True Tribulation of Eternal Life, there is a clear reminder that no matter how difficult the calamity is, external force cannot be used to graft cause and effect.
Relying on external forces to avoid disasters and hoping for the way of heaven, the only result is to invite a more terrifying death disaster.
Just like Chu Zheng before him, he used Fu Quanliang's name to cover up his tracks. According to the judgment of Heaven, this is the most direct cause and effect of grafting.
Although by refining Qi, there will be no thunder disasters, man-made disasters that cannot be prevented are often more difficult to avoid than natural punishments.
It is precisely for this point that the Treasure Record of Eternal True Tribulation created the method of incarnating into the world and experiencing calamity.
Use your empty body to experience real tribulations and eliminate your own terrifying tribulation energy.
Exchanging the fake for the real, hiding it from the eyes of Heaven, is naturally not as simple as talking.
There is also a lot of risk in this. The cause and effect line pulled by the incarnation will not disappear after the incarnation is dispersed, and it is very likely to implicate the main body in the future.
Therefore, the place of incarnation and calamity must be far enough away from the body, far enough to be able to dissolve the lines of cause and effect with the help of the power of time.
This is not difficult for Chu Zheng to understand, just like the starlight transmitted from the universe.
When the starlight reaches his location, the stars that emit light may have ceased to exist thousands of years ago.
In the distant span of the universe, time will be gradually stretched by distance, and even time will be directly defeated by distance. No matter how strong the cause and effect is, after all the creatures on the other end of the cause and effect line are extinct, it will not be able to survive. Exist again.
For this reason, in addition to the method of moving qi, the treasure record of eternal true tribulations also contains an extremely magical secret technique called 'gazing at the stars and catching the sky'.
Observe the signs of stars in the sky, catch the opportunity of heaven, use the starlight to identify the breath of heaven, go retrograde, and throw incarnations into calamities.
Most of the starlights carry the aura of their respective heavens, but in the world that has been extinguished, there is no aura of heaven.
Distinguishing the specific state of the world behind you from the starlight in the sky is the meaning of the great magical power of stargazing and sky-catching.
For Qi Refiners, this is undoubtedly an extremely precious method that can last through calamities, no less than saving countless lives.
However, launching the incarnation calamity requires the support of an extremely powerful soul. At least, you need to wait until Chu Zheng's concentration is complete, or even step into the divine infant before you can start trying.
This is still a long way from Chu Zheng’s current cultivation level, but according to his current cultivation progress, this distance is not too far.
In addition to stargazing and sky-gazing, the Eternal Tribulation Treasure Record also contains many great supernatural powers, such as 'Three Heads and Six Arms', 'Sky Mending Technique', 'Swallowing Stars', 'Reversal of Cause and Effect', etc. wait.
Most of them require at least the cultivation level of a heavenly being to start practicing, which is really far away for Chu Zheng.
After roughly digesting the contents of the Eternal True Tribulation Treasure Record, Chu Zheng turned around and took a look at the Dao Palace, and left without staying too long.
There is no point in thinking about unsolvable puzzles and it is just a waste of time.
The amount of information he has is too small to allow him to analyze something he can possess. When he has cultivated enough and reached the realm of Dao Ancestor, perhaps the current problems will no longer be called problems by then.
The time that can stay in Cangyun Secret Realm is three full months, and now only half of it has passed. There are still a large number of treasures waiting for Chu Zheng in this world. Digging.
Now that he is freed from the constraints of the Dao Palace, he has been able to explore the outside world again. Not only the opportunities of the Immortal Dao, he is also very interested in areas where other Dao traditions exist.
This may help him uncover a layer of veil from Cangyun's ancient times, allowing him to see part of his true appearance.
Even, he may be able to find some clues about the birth of this secret realm.
After leaving the Dao Palace, Chu Zheng took out the map of Cangyun Secret Realm and began to study the route.
Soon, he made a decision and headed north to explore the center area of the map.
There is no fog blocking it, and you can clearly see the distinct three-color area.
The closer it is to the central area, the safer the environment is, which means there is not much danger to him.
Chu Zheng is naturally curious about unexplored areas, but sometimes curbing unnecessary curiosity can save a lot of trouble.
After leaving this time, he may not have the opportunity to enter the Cangyun Secret Realm again in this life. The opportunity is rare, so he must seize it.
…………
…………
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed. Chu Zheng traveled northward and explored for more than a million miles, seeing countless scenery along the way.
Most of the areas marked with golden light are sect ruins and some caves of casual cultivators.
For ordinary monks, going to these explored areas is undoubtedly a waste of time and will not yield any gains.
However, Chu Zheng has gained a lot and gained a lot of legacy. The largest proportion of them is undoubtedly the magic weapon and elixir that have lost their spiritual energy.
During this period, Chu Zheng also experienced a lot of regrets.
The only disadvantage of picking up rags is that most of the really good stuff has already been taken away.
For example, when passing through an underground palace, he saw a sword-raising pool. According to the information on the panel, a sword array was raised in it, and the seven flying swords were Tongxuan Lingbao.
When the sect was destroyed, the spiritual sword had not yet been cultivated, so it was left in the sword-raising pond. After hundreds of thousands of years of gestation, it was preserved to this day. Tens of thousands of years ago, it was People take it away.
In addition, Chu Zheng also discovered a warm alchemy furnace in a sect's alchemy hall.
Several semi-immortal elixirs were kept in the elixir furnace. They have survived to this day by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The elixir has the word "xian" on it, which makes it extraordinary. Just like the Tongxuan Lingbao, the elixir is born with nine orifices and can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to maintain its own existence.
These seventh-level elixirs were taken away thousands of years ago, and the elixir furnace still remains warm to this day.
Unfortunately, the alchemy furnace is not a spiritual treasure. It is not far from the Fengyang Cauldron that Chu Zheng had obtained before, and is only one step away from the Tongxuan spiritual treasure.
For a magic weapon, this one step is the difference between life and death.
Chu Zheng also discovered a complete treasure house. The spiritual array is still in operation and has extremely strong protective power. It is not easy for a monk with perfect concentration to force open it. It will at least cost a lot of money. Several months.
In response, Chu Zheng directly summoned the Tiangang Sword, used the Five Elements Sword Formation, and started the demolition.
When he spent a whole day and night opening the treasure house with great expectations, he found that it had been swept away and the ground was in a mess.
On the wall of the treasure house, there are a few lines of large characters engraved with sharp strokes:
'Don't blame me, fellow Taoist, the magic circle here has been repaired by me, wasting some of your time. When I left, Remember to repair the magic circle and leave it to the next person - Tu Zilin. ’
Looking at the writing on the ground, Chu Zheng raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows. The world is really big and full of wonders. How could there be such a boring person?
If an ordinary monk comes here and spends a lot of time to break through this magic circle, and sees these lines, he is afraid that his Taoist mind will be unstable.
Chu Zheng turned around the entire treasure house, and finally found only some pills that had exhausted their spiritual energy.
Before leaving the treasure house, he raised his hand and touched the magic circle at the entrance.
[Hidden Spirit Array (Level 4/Incomplete): A defensive array that can isolate spiritual thoughts. It can block Level 4 creatures for half a day. It can be forcibly penetrated by you and can be repaired (0/18) (Details) 】
With the power of the Divine Infant Realm, it would take half a day to break through this formation. There must have been monks who discovered this treasure house before, but gave up due to various reasons.
Spending a lot of time for such a place is undoubtedly not worth the gain.
Chu Zheng didn't even bother to click on the detailed information. He repaired the magic circle completely and left slowly.
…………
…………
Although he missed many treasures, after many episodes, Chu Zheng finally found two rare treasures.
A fragment of an immortal treasure, and a fragment of a real elixir.
