Chapter 672: Guo Shentong

Li Ximing settled his mind for six days, sat upright on the jade pillar, and several jade slips were arranged in front of him. The Li family's Dao lineage was not many, but most of them were given by the Immortal Appraisal, and their exquisiteness didn't need to be said, all of which could be studied and borrowed.

"【Minghua Jinyang Huangyuan Sutra】 calls Zifu: Fire rises in the heart, Bright Yang is inside and outside."

"【Tianli Rize Sutra】 calls it: Hidden heart fire, Rize South Bright, governing the world facing south."

"【Hou Shu Jin Shu】 is even more concise, only four words: Change of physical properties to the extreme."

These were all Dao methods of the Zifu Jin Dan path. Li Ximing himself was prepared to impact Zifu, so he paid great attention to this kind of information. When Kongheng was still there, Li Ximing specially sought him out to ask.

What Kongheng said was: "Follow the wishes and achieve perfection, infinite brightness, immediately prove Maha, obtain supernatural power, enter the state of liberation, wherever all transformations are, follow the transformations, wherever all reside, diligently guard."

Each family had its own performance, but the breakthrough methods of the Zifu Jin Dan path were mostly similar, nothing more than calcining the immortal foundation to impact the rising sun, crossing the twelve-story building, and crossing the boundless illusions.

It sounded simple, but this step of the immortal foundation impacting the rising sun was enough to stop ninety percent of cultivators.

Zifu cultivation methods had their own techniques, but once the immortal foundation moved, leaving the Qi Sea point and moving upward, entering the Yin Jiao Shen Que, that was the rise of one's cultivation, and there was absolutely no way back. Therefore, failing to break through to Zifu meant immediate death, usually without room for maneuver.

And this upward journey required first lighting up the Ju Que point, then entering the rising sun. If the accumulation of magic power was not deep, the grade of the immortal foundation was too low, and the consumption was too urgent due to insufficient attainments in Dao methods, one would be exhausted before entering the rising sun and die immediately.

Li Encheng and the others from back then failed their breakthroughs after only a few years of seclusion, turning into natural phenomena; they were the ones who fell at this very spot, belonging to those who collapsed at the first hurdle.

"Those who fall at this place have their cultivation scattered early. Although the heavenly visions are vast, they drift away like clouds and smoke, and there are no precious spirit objects descending..."

If one could successfully fly into the rising sun, one would manifest supernatural powers. The higher the grade of the immortal foundation, the more secret methods cultivated, and the deeper the understanding of one's own Dao, the easier it would be to manifest supernatural powers. This process was not long, only about six years.

Failing to refine one's divine ability is the place where rogue cultivators and clan cultivators fall most easily. After all, their grade is inferior to others, their secret methods are inferior to others, and even their understanding of the Dao is inferior to others, leading to their hasty demise.

Finally, if one could present the supernatural power in the rising sun, and then push the rising sun mansion into the Great Void with supernatural power, treating the mortal body as nothing, the immortal path called it cutting off the mortal body, dispersing the color phase, and the Buddhist cultivators called it pushing the rising sun into the Buddhist soil, proving the non-retrogression ground.

To enter the Great Void, one must first have the thought of ignorance, forgetting both things and self, often sinking into it and lingering, perhaps breaking in a few days, or perhaps unable to move for decades, but the mortal body has already been cut off, having no awareness, even staying until the lifespan is exhausted. The time difference in breaking through to Zifu comes from here.

Ning Wan and Yang Tianya mostly stopped here. Ning Wan is hard to say, but according to small news, Yang Tianya is eight or nine out of ten already ignorant until his lifespan is exhausted, with no turning point.

At this moment, success has already had half the Zifu atmosphere. If one falls, the vision may cover a place, full of spirit objects, or affect several counties, turning into a natural disaster.

Yuan family ancestor Yuan Licheng failed to break through back then, everyone sighed, overcast rain covered several counties, even with Qingchi's means to extend the time of the vision, he himself could not be underestimated, belonging to this category.

Only after seeing through the thought of ignorance does one have the opportunity to face infinite illusions. Supernatural power is contained in the mouth, phantom thoughts are just a flash. If one cannot cross, cultivation is all scattered. If one crosses, one succeeds, and one can achieve Zifu when coming out of seclusion.

"This is now. If it were ancient cultivation, one would still have to face three disasters. After crossing the three disasters, the people of the Thunder Palace are already waiting on the side, one driving thunder, one drumming clouds, wanting to descend mysterious thunder to kill evil. Even if one is a safe and secure person, it is inevitable to hurt people, eating all these pains back..."

These calamities don't need to be crossed now, otherwise, with Li Ximing's fighting ability, whether he could survive is really hard to say.

He only sorted out the key points, put away the jade slip, searched for a vermilion pen from the storage bag, injected magic power into the pen, and the heavenly light was brilliant. Li Ximing secretly thought:

"With the 【Ziming Pill】 given by my master, I won't fall at the first pass. If I sit and die, there should be quite a few spirit objects."

He pondered for a long time, made an estimate of his own death scene, released an array to surround the jade pillar, stood by the jade pillar, and wrote with a brush.

"The city wall of the Great Desert is crumbling, and gathering energy is difficult. If I die, there will be heavenly light gathering, sand and smoke rolling, Jinyang Huangyuan overflowing, specially bound by the array, to provide for future generations."

"Li family descendant Ximing."

He put away the pen, flew to the top of the jade pillar, joined two fingers, and drew a circle lightly on the top of the jade pillar.

Although this jade pillar was of high quality, it was not a sturdy thing. After such a drawing, a small concave groove appeared in the center of the top. Li Ximing blew away the jade powder, and only then took out a small golden-red ring from his sleeve.

This small ring was only the thickness of a little finger, neither gold nor silver, with red light hazy. Li Ximing put it down and inlaid it between the concave groove he had just drawn.

It was exactly 【Jianyang Ring】! This treasure didn't know the material, nor the grade, but it was an ancient Bright Yang object after all. Li Ximing specially took it out and put it where he was in seclusion, perhaps it could be a good omen.

He laughed at himself, took out a black jade box from his sleeve, and set it on the table, in which a white stone the size of a fingernail was contained, bright and brilliant, like smoke and mist.

"【Mingfang Heavenly Stone】!"

This spirit object was used to condense supernatural powers. Li Ximing didn't dare to look more, only put the five-gold-patterned Ziming Pill on the table together.

He took a calming pill, sat down on the futon under the jade pillar, let the light and dark intersect around him, adjusted his breath for three months, and finally opened his eyes, with only calmness in them.

"Hum."

The white jade bottle on the table jumped up, the bottle mouth tilted, and a round pill flew out.

Li Ximing wrapped this pill with magic power to prevent the medicinal power from volatilizing, but Ziming Pill was refined from many precious medicines after all. As soon as it flew out, it was bright and brilliant, as if a sun had jumped up, illuminating the entire Mount Wushan brightly.

He swallowed the Ziming Pill, only feeling a hot current drilling into the Qi Sea.

In the Qi Sea, the original bright light magic power was rolling, gold and white, white energy surging, a bright pass stood in it, white bricks piled up, the battlements were exquisite, and the seventy-two ridges on the corner tower were all bright, like a heavenly gate, with many patterns on the white gate feet, and the bright light was dazzling.

With this sun-like Ziming Pill falling into the Qi Sea, the Bright Yang power fell like rain, filling the entire Qi Sea in an instant, drowning everything in golden light.

"Boom!"

Fortunately, 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' was an immortal foundation that suppressed the path, and immediately reacted. This bright pass seemed to be angered, jumped up from the Qi Sea, suppressed the sun-like Ziming Pill, and maintained the pill shape.

"Good."

This saved Li Ximing from being distracted to suppress it. In the Qi Sea, it was like a mountain torrent pouring down, Bright Yang magic power surged into the limbs and bones. He didn't care about the swelling pain in the meridians and Qi Sea, heavenly light sprayed from his mouth, and his hands pinched seals.

"Fly and lift the immortal foundation!"

The magic formulas and mental methods in the Zifu cultivation method operated together. The 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' in the Qi Sea point shook, 【Treasure Steps】 became brighter, and this immortal foundation revealed a sense of great creation and great joy, turning into golden light and rushing above the Qi Sea.

The immortal foundation leaving the Qi Sea was already a sign of death for ordinary cultivators. Even with the mental methods and formulas in the Zifu cultivation method to suppress it, the entire Qi Sea was still as if it had leaked, magic power poured out through the opening, pushing 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' to move, thinning rapidly.

As 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' moved like this, the suppressed Ziming Pill returned from the dead, and the bright light like rain fell again, and the entire Qi Sea was full of vitality again.

'Thanks to this precious pill!'

Ziming Pill was refined from two Bright Yang precious medicines supplemented by nearly a hundred Bright Yang spirit objects, only then could it maintain the fullness of the Qi Sea. If there was no such pill, Li Ximing would be sweating profusely at this moment, overdrawing his essence to push the immortal foundation...

And with this pill, Li Ximing only needed to stabilize the immortal foundation and rise step by step! He concentrated his mind, all his heart and soul existed on the immortal foundation, unaware of all light and dark changes in the outside world, and didn't know how long it had passed, he finally felt a brightness in front of him, and the immortal foundation had been pushed into a vast and hazy place.

"【Ju Que Court】!"

The three secret keys of the Zifu Jin Dan path, from top to bottom, were Rising Sun, Ju Que, and Qi Sea. After the six wheels were combined, Ju Que was hazy. From Qi Refining to Foundation Establishment, the only one that could be introspected was the Qi Sea.

"Boom!"

The Bright Yang power brought by Ziming Pill seemed to find a vent, surging into this vast area, and the magic power in the Qi Sea was quickly emptied, nearly half gathering to Ju Que Court.

At this moment, 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' flew in, and the hazy piece in front of Li Ximing was finally illuminated by heavenly light, then seeing snow white piled up everywhere, and a high platform clustered in the middle.

And on this high platform, something bright and round was floating in it.

'【Talisman Seed】?!'

Li Ximing had never thought that this thing would be in his Ju Que Court, subconsciously looking down at the Qi Sea.

The Ziming Pill in the Qi Sea had been consumed, only covering a thin layer of magic power. At the bottom of the Qi Sea, that round and bright talisman seed was lying quietly.

'Is there one in the Qi Sea too? Is it the same one?'

This was not the time to investigate deeply. Li Ximing didn't have time to think, rested slightly, 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' moved away from Ju Que Court again, and flew up.

At this moment, he finally lost the help of Ziming Pill. Li Ximing flew the immortal foundation alone, like carrying a heavy tripod, cold sweat immediately oozed from his face, and his shoulders felt cold.

But he was already much better than other cultivators. The starting point changed from the Qi Sea to Ju Que, but if it were someone like Chi Zhiyun, he should have one or two pills similar to Ziming Pill to take, pushing to the rising sun in one breath.

It was not that Li Ximing had no other pills to take. Once distracted, the immortal foundation would fall. Ordinary pill supplementation was not as fast as the distraction and falling. Li Ximing estimated that it must be at the level of precious medicine...

'My family is not without precious medicine... it's just that no one has ever broken through to Zifu, so I don't know what's inside...'

His face was dripping with cold sweat. This time was much harder to endure than before. The journey was bumpy, and the twelve-story building was like twelve steps. Carrying a heavy tripod and having to step forward, he was pressed until his seven orifices bled.

Don't know how long it passed, Li Ximing only felt his eyes go black, and finally there was a slight brightness in front of him, revealing a small mansion on the sea.

This place had clear green seawater, lotus flowers blooming, twelve white bridges spanning the two banks, and white light flashing in the sky. Looking carefully, the sun shining when it was empty was the talisman seed! '【Rising Sun Mansion】 really has it! Not bad... the three mansions are the secret essentials of immortal cultivation, how can they be partial!'

Li Ximing didn't have time to look carefully, the bright light rushed into it, shaking the seawater, overturning several lotus flowers. He only felt dizzy, couldn't help but spray a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Puff!"

He hurriedly swallowed the remaining blood, knowing that he had suffered no light injuries, but his heart was full of joy.

'【Finally came up!】'

With the help of Ziming Pill, he only suffered some heavy injuries, far from the point of exhaustion. He concentrated his mind to operate magic power, changed his hand seals, and set 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' in the Rising Sun Mansion.

This light made his brain warm, his spiritual sense was extremely comfortable, but his body formed a strong contrast, weak as a mortal body, as if he would fall at the next moment.

He didn't dare to be negligent. Taking advantage of 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' being set, not needing to spend much magic power, he barely opened his eyelids.

It was dark in front of him, and he couldn't see anything. Li Ximing groped with his spiritual sense, used the remaining magic power to lift the jade box, and the white stone the size of a thumb flew up, sticking lightly to his eyebrows.

Mingfang Heavenly Stone immediately came alive, struggling twice like a worm, manifesting fine little scales, plunged into his eyebrows, broke the skin, and drilled into the Rising Sun Mansion.

'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' was hanging in mid-air, Mingfang Heavenly Stone then flew in, 'Jinyang Huangyuan Pass' immediately suppressed it, the seventy-two ridges on the corner tower were all bright, and the bright light was dazzling.

"... sensing the seventy-two mysterious attributes of Bright Yang, now seeking Bright Yang inside with Bright Yang outside, seeking life with nature, thousand gods and officials, all come to protect, divine light shines inside, clear and bright spirit light, five decays and five disasters, dissolved by this..."

He recited the mental method, and the Jinyang Huangyuan Pass in the sky shook violently:

"Birth, old age, sickness, and death, no longer invade, nature and life are forever solid, wishes are constant!"

Jinyang Huangyuan Pass shook more violently, vast white energy flowed down like water, two golden hollow heavenly lamps lit up on the corner tower, and the bright steps flashed one by one.

Mingfang Heavenly Stone evaporated like white energy, all surging into this immortal foundation. Li Ximing's brain was full of infinite bright light, and the formulas, mental methods, and magic seals in his mouth were changed one after another.

Don't know how long it passed, vaguely seeing white unicorns jumping in the world, white cicadas chirping, the heavenly pass collapsing, layers of white bricks breaking like tiles, colorful light floating in the center, flowing and flying.

Li Ximing only felt a sense of drowsiness rushing into his brain, the thought of ignorance hazy and covering his consciousness, as if sleeping but not waking, and as if waking but returning to sleep, gray in front of his eyes.

Everything in the Rising Sun Mansion stopped, the seawater no longer rippled, the lotus flowers no longer bloomed, and the colorful light solidified in place, everything stopped moving, stuck in place.

The sun in the sky paused, sprinkling a piece of cool light like water.

Caught a cold, but took medicine, doesn't affect the update. ===== CHAPTER 673 =====
