Longevity and Immortal Cultivation: Starting from Controlling Your Own Essence.

Chapter 199
Practice quiet room.

Zhang Yao was still feeling his own transformation, and had a deeper understanding of the essence of a monk in the Golden Core Realm.

In addition to the most obvious changes in mana, his body and mind, soul and mind have also taken a huge leap, and he is almost a different person from the past.

And the most important thing, of course, is the golden elixir transformed from the Dao Foundation.

"Let me take a good look..."

Zhang Yao mobilized his divine sense, looked inside himself, and carefully observed his own golden elixir for the first time.

The golden elixir is between the virtual and the real, hidden in the dantian, it is difficult to describe the size specifically, and it is shining with pure golden luster.

Looking carefully, there are nine undetectable golden lines on the surface of the golden elixir, which are integrated with the golden elixir itself.

"Nine Dao Divine Patterns, it really is a first-grade golden elixir!"

Zhang Yao confirmed this and couldn't help smiling.

As early as the moment the truth and reality were combined and the golden elixir was refined, he realized that his golden elixir was perfect without any mistakes, so he concluded that he should have achieved a first-grade golden elixir.

And the Nine Dao Divine Patterns above the Golden Core undoubtedly confirmed his deduction completely.

The ninth grade of Jindan, with the divine pattern as a sign;

The lowest grade of Ninth-Rank Golden Elixir has only one divine pattern; each step up the rank, there will be one more divine pattern, and finally it will be promoted to the perfect Nine-Rank Divine Pattern and First-Rank Golden Elixir.

The divine pattern on the golden elixir is the manifestation of the Qi veins and Dao foundation, which are closely related to the speed of cultivation, the prospect of the road, and the strength of fighting skills after the golden elixir.

To put it simply, the more gods you have, the faster you can cultivate, the higher the success rate when you are promoted, and the brighter your future will be.

Take Zhang Yao as an example:

Under the double blessing of the 'Five Elements Yunling Formation' and the first-grade golden elixir, his five-element spiritual root has officially surpassed the heavenly spiritual root in cultivation speed, and has entered the top level in the world.

In addition, the most direct difference between the number of golden core divine patterns is that each divine pattern can entrust a divine power.

This, to a large extent, determines the strength of monks of different Jindan ranks.

"There is a huge gap in power between different supernatural powers and Taoism."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao pondered for a moment:
"The yellow talisman Taoism method I used in the past is no longer suitable for the golden alchemy realm. As for the desolate and soul-stirring divine light, it can barely be used to excess..."

The combat power of a monk in the Golden Core Realm is mainly composed of magic weapons and divine channeling techniques, and the rest of the secret treasures and secret methods are just supplements.

Leaving aside the magic weapon.

The divine channel technique in the world is basically one, and can be divided into four levels.

The Taoism that comes with the exercises or is completely self-created can be turned into supernatural powers when placed on the golden core, which is the first class.

Supernatural powers can be sent out instantly and extremely quickly, and at the same time, the speed of cultivation will be greatly accelerated, and the power will also be greatly increased. It is the main fighting method of Jindan monks.

Taoism is still not pinned on the golden core, but because it comes from the basic skills, its power is still superior to other Taoism, and it is a powerful supplementary method in the fighting method, which is second-class.

Take the full version of "The Great Law of the Common People" held by Zhang Yao as an example——

This is the highest true biography of the Pingdu Gate, which records a total of ten complete Taoist arts of the Golden Core Stage.

If a person who practices this method achieves a fifth-grade golden elixir, he can entrust the five sects of Taoism as his supernatural powers, and practice another five sects of Taoism as an auxiliary.

As for other earth attribute Taoism, although the genus matches and can be cultivated to a perfect level, but because it comes from a heretic, even if it is cultivated, its power is not as good as that of its own Taoism. above.

Pingdumen's "Pingdu Twelve Methods" is a typical third-class Taoism. Although it is very famous, it relies on the simplified foundation-building Taoism, not how good the twelve Taoism itself is. .

As for the worst fourth class, it doesn't even match the mana genus, and it can't cultivate to a high level. It is often some commonly used auxiliary Taoism such as fire escape, water escape, soul lock, detection, and concealment.

These Taoism skills can only be used for assistance, and if they are used to fight head-on with opponents of the same level, it is purely self-inflicted humiliation.

"I have five-element mana, and I can match the five zodiac signs, but after all, it's not the foundation method, it's the third-class Taoism if it reaches the sky."

"As the saying goes, going ashore and shedding a boat is a mere third-class Taoism. Naturally, I should discard it like a pair of shoes and no longer miss it."

Thinking of this, Zhang Yao felt relieved.

He once relied on the 'Pingdu Twelve Methods' during the Qi refining period and the foundation building period, but it was actually out of helplessness.

Because in the "Wan Hua Du Tian Zhen Jing", there is no spell of the Qi refining period, or Taoism of the foundation building period.

Perhaps in the eyes of the creators of this technique, during the development stages of Qi refining period and foundation building period, one should stay in the mountain gate to practice honestly, instead of going out to fight fiercely, so no suitable fighting method was created. means.

But after being promoted to the Golden Core stage, everything is different.

"Wanhuadu Tianzhen Jing" recorded a total of nine Taoism techniques in the Jindan period, each corresponding to a different formation method, with the formation technique and formation method blessing, the power is more than ordinary supernatural powers.

The combination of the nine supernatural powers can further refine the "nine-color sky wheel" that is unrivaled in the world and roams all over the world.

Back then, Liu Cang, a Sanman of the Five Elements, was able to fight the Nascent Soul monster with the body of a monk in the Golden Core Realm, and he could lose both because of the terrifying power of the Nine-Color Sky Wheel.

With such pearls and jades in front of him, Zhang Yao naturally would not worry about the mud and rubble anymore.

After a while.

He came to the familiar pavilion, pushed the door out, and came to the shelf on the right.

The three treasures stored on the right are all rare treasures of heaven and earth and third-order spiritual objects prepared by Wuxing Sanren, and they are specially used to practice supernatural powers and construct formations.

"Mingguang True Flame, Lightning Strikes the Divine Tree, Taiyin Delu..."

Zhang Yao's eyes swept over the three treasures one by one.

After achieving the golden elixir, if you want to practice supernatural powers and improve your cultivation base, you must first 'attract the five elements and separate the five phases'.

The Five Elements Yunling Formation is the first formation constructed by the practitioners of the "Wanhua Dutian Zhenjing", and it is also the foundation of the practice of the Five Elements Spiritual Root.

Through the step of attributing the five elements, the power of the five-element spirit formation is further strengthened; separating the five phases can differentiate the full five magical powers, which is the most important source of combat power in the early stage of Jindan.

The so-called five phases come from within the five elements and outside the five elements, corresponding to the attributes of the five different spiritual roots, which are light, darkness, ice, wind, and thunder.

After the five elements are united, the power of the five phases can be separated through the special process of transformation and separation.

among them:

Bright Light True Flame corresponds to the fire attribute, using fire to generate light and separate the phases of light, one of the five supernatural powers can be practiced "Aurora escape method";
The lightning strike god tree corresponds to the wood attribute, and with wood to contain thunder and separate the phase of thunder, one of the five-phase supernatural powers can be refined to "destroy the god thunder".

"The train of thought in this seems to be exactly the same as the secret method recorded in the "Theory of the Origin of Spiritual Origin"..."

There was a sudden movement in Zhang Yao's heart, and he couldn't help thinking about it.

The "Spiritual Root Origin Theory" he is referring to here is not the one he got from Taoist Wanhe, but the one that was the culprit that spread from the Five Elements Secret Realm and led to the downfall of Pingdumen.

"It's no wonder that with the ingenuity of the Five Elements Disperser back then, and the insight and vision of the ancestor Zhenyang and others, he was also addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself."

The theories in this are really exquisite and interlocking. Unless you try it yourself, no one will believe that it will be false.

In Zhang Yao's memory, even the Five Elements Sanren back then personally collected many monks with five spiritual roots, and tried the terrible secret method recorded in "Theory of the Origin of Spiritual Roots". I was deceived.

The most important reason why Wuxing Sanren was deceived was the existence of Wuxiang supernatural powers, which proved that at least the research on controlling the direction of spiritual root mutation is feasible in principle.

"...Forget it, it doesn't make much sense to think about it right now."

Zhang Yao withdrew his divergent thoughts, and looked at the last jade bottle, which contained the rare treasure of heaven and earth 'Taiyin Dilu'.

In the Golden Core stage, two formations are also required - the 'Taiyin Tianshu Formation' and the 'Sun Tianyuan Formation'.

The difference is that these two formations are essentially the same set of formations, forming the mutual root of yin and yang, which can be refined into the strongest single-body magical power of Jindan's 'Sun and Moon True Eye'.

"It's a pity, there is not enough Taiyin dew here..."

A trace of regret was born in Zhang Yao's heart.

To construct the "Tianshu array of Taiyin" and "Tianyuan array of the sun", rare treasures belonging to the sun and moon are needed. Although the categories are not limited, the conditions are still very strict.

Back then, Liu Cang, a Sanren of the Five Elements, traveled all over the Central Plains, Southern Xinjiang, Northern Desert, Outer Seas and other regions in order to collect enough treasures of his practice in the Golden Core Stage. He has experienced many twists and turns, and it took nearly 300 years. Only then did he finally refine the true pupils of the sun and the moon, and was able to control the 'nine-color sky wheel'.

The Bright Light True Flame, Lightning Strike Shenmu, and Taiyin Delu left here are all leftovers after he used them up in those years.

However, there is not much stock of Taiyin Dilu, which is not enough for Zhang Yao to build a complete "Taiyin Tianshu Formation", but Zhang Yao knows that he obtained it from Liangyue River in Jingguo back then, and Zhang Yao can completely copy his route. So I don't feel too sorry.

The same goes for other rare treasures and spiritual objects. Zhang Yao can learn from the experience of the Five Elements Sanren back then.

"Shh."

With a flick of his sleeve, Zhang Yao put away the three spiritual treasures including Mingguang Zhenyan, turned and left the palace.

These three spiritual objects are the last legacy of the Five Elements Sanren. Originally there were still a few magic weapons, but they were all scattered by Yu Wentai as bait, and fell into the hands of Zhenyang Patriarch and others.

However, Zhang Yao didn't really care about those magic weapons.

The Jindan period can refine a natal magic weapon, while the practitioners of the "Wanhuadu Tianzheng" have the best choice to use the power of the formation to refine their own body into the natal magic weapon.

The Wuxing Sanren in front of him also took this road. Many magic weapons captured during the battle and slaughter all the way went into their stomachs, and the rest were just ordinary high-end goods. Treasures of war are not as good.

And Zhang Yao is taking this road now, and only this road can match the high-level body training monks in the future with the formation and supernatural powers.

"Those magic weapons can't be cheap, Patriarch Zhenyang and the others..."

Zhang Yao narrowed his eyes slightly after thinking up to this point:

"But it's not in a hurry to go out now, let's practice the 'Aurora Escape Method' and 'Destroying God Thunder' first!"

After he achieved Jindan, his strength skyrocketed, and he was no longer afraid of Patriarch Zhenyang and others.

In fact:
Today, his mana is far more powerful than the perfection of golden core, and his body, body, mind, soul and mind are extremely strong, even if he fights against the three people including Patriarch Zhenyang with his bare hands, he still has a good chance of winning.

It's just that you can go out to fight the crushing game after you have cultivated your supernatural powers and your strength has greatly increased. Why take the risk to go out to gamble?
"By the way, take away that magic weapon first."

Zhang Yao suddenly remembered that there was still a magic weapon of the Sanshan Patriarch in the secret realm that he hadn't collected yet.

"Buzz!"

His divine sense activated the center of the formation, stepped out, and moved the space directly to that small world.

After more than 40 years, the khaki-colored seal engraved with phantom images of mountains hovered motionless in mid-air, as if it had lost its spirituality.

"It's been so many years..."

Seeing this seal, Zhang Yao couldn't help sighing with emotion, and thought of the most dangerous battle that year.

Although the three-faced incarnation has golden elixir-level mana, it has no golden elixir blessing. In addition, it has been severely injured and its mana has been greatly lost. The power to control the magic weapon is at most a fraction of that of the deity.

But even with this fraction of the power, Zhang Yao's most proud yellow rune armor was easily torn into pieces like tearing paper.

The strength of the Jindan Patriarch and the power of the magic weapon can be seen from this.

Back then Zhang Yao didn't take any action against it, simply because he couldn't erase the imprint left by the Sanshan Patriarch, and he didn't want to violently destroy this magic weapon through the power of the formation, so he could only put it on hold.

But now that he has achieved the Golden Core Realm, everything will be different.

"boom!"

He stretched out his hand to grab it, and powerful magic power surged out, and the sky of the small world glowed with golden light of five colors.

The khaki-colored seal suddenly 'woke up', like a frightened monkey, turning around in mid-air, turning into a streamer and fleeing around.

It's a pity that the magic weapon without the blessing of its master's magic power couldn't hold on for even one round in front of Zhang Yao, so it was suppressed by the mighty magic power and fell into Zhang Yao's hands.

"This magic weapon is not bad. I'm afraid it has been conceived for at least a thousand years."

Zhang Yao smiled slightly, and all the mana of the divine mind was mobilized, pouring into the seal like a torrent.

"boom!"

The imprint of divine sense in the seal resisted with all its strength, but the gap between the two sides was too great, but after a short stalemate, it was completely destroyed.

"The magic weapon is very good, it would be a pity to eat it directly."

Zhang Yao played with the seal in his hand, and thought slightly:
"It's better to keep it for now. When you leave the secret realm, you can go and exchange for two or three lesser magic weapons to eat."

Thinking of this, he temporarily put away the seal in his hand, turned around with a flick of his sleeves, and returned to the cave.

And at the same time:

The outside world, within the Mountain Gate of the Shanhe School.

"puff!"

Patriarch Sanshan, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his complexion was pale:
"No...my brand in Wanshan True Seal has been broken!"

At this moment, there is only one thought left in his mind:
"Reverend Qingxu! It must be him!"

"He has reached the Golden Core Realm!!"
