Chapter 363 Yin and Yang, Life and Death, Reincarnation

These four immortal arts are all very good and powerful. Although they have not crossed levels, there are few that can compare with them in the same level, especially the "Six Paths of Reincarnation". If the piece of white bones is incorporated, it can even compete with the second-level immortal arts. It is the most powerful means of Shi Xuan except for the Ruyi Binding Immortal Rope and the Four Symbols World-Destroying Sword.

In order to successfully practice these four immortal arts, Shi Xuan needs to advance the corresponding Taoist arts to the ninth level. Even if Shi Xuan is now a Yuanshen Zhenren, it will take at least a hundred years, so it is difficult to practice in a short time.

As for the two natal spiritual tools, because Shi Xuan has advanced to Yuanshen and is vaguely combined with the laws of heaven and earth, the speed of offering sacrifices is less than 20% of the original. In addition, they are more than three levels of heaven, so roughly another 16 or 17 years of offering sacrifices can complete the Tiangang prohibition. However, the hurdle of spiritual tools to magic weapons is very difficult. Thousands of perfect spiritual tools may not be able to have one advanced to magic weapon.

Even if the natal spiritual weapon is closely related to the Yuanshen, and indirectly crosses the barrier of combining with the laws of heaven and earth, it still needs to spend at least one or two hundred years, or at most thousands of years to be nurtured day and night, before it can be upgraded to a magic weapon with certainty. For example, some Yuanshen Zhenren died under the first heavenly tribulation, and their natal spiritual weapon had not yet been upgraded to a magic weapon.

"In this case, I need to spend at least one or two hundred years to consolidate my cultivation before I can improve my strength to the level of Yuanshen Zhenren." Shi Xuan looked at the quiet room in front of him and thought to himself, but one or two hundred years of quiet cultivation is nothing for Yuanshen Zhenren. If you control the progress of Yuanshen cultivation carefully, the first heavenly tribulation can be postponed to about a thousand years, not to mention using other secret methods and formations to delay it.

Shi Xuan continued to think: "But it will take two hundred years to go to Tongtian World. Should I go there now and find out the whereabouts of "Zhoutian Xingdou Sword Technique"? This way, I can arrange the things later and avoid missing it." I have Ruyi Binding Immortal Rope and Four Symbols Destroying World Sword. Even if my natal spiritual weapon and Taoist arts have not been cultivated, I am still a powerful figure among Yuanshen Zhenren.

Thinking of this in my heart, Shi Xuan continued to read the following content. After the four immortal arts that can be directly cultivated, there are some key points and key points of the four Taoist arts when they are advanced to immortal arts, namely, Xiantian Wind and Thunder Escape, Five Directions Thunder God Great Capture, Liangyi Bagua Immortal Clothes, and Two Realms Void Crossing.

Speaking of which, the jade slip that records the secret method of crossing the tribulation also records the experience of the successive masters of Penglai Sect on how some Taoist arts can be advanced to immortal arts, which benefited Shi Xuan a lot.

So far, the content about immortal arts in "Baolu" has ended, and the following is about how to cross the tribulation and some mysterious things.

Before reading the following content, Shi Xuan thought of the supreme skill that Grandma Yu had taught Wan'er to practice. There were also three immortal arts that could be practiced directly. However, unlike the Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Divine Light in the Treasure Record, which could not cross levels, the others were the same as the Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Divine Light. They all came from the foundation of the skill itself and from the gradual deepening of the skill practice. If you don't take it as your own way to become a Taoist, you can't learn it at all, so Shi Xuan could only envy it.

Putting aside his thoughts, Shi Xuan read the content of the tribulation.

For the first and second heavenly tribulations, there were only a few words in the Treasure Record: "Danger, but you must practice with this", and there were no secret methods, secret treasures, or immortal formations for tribulation. Shi Xuan was amused and sighed when he saw it. What a boldness!

Shi Xuan also read the following content roughly and wrote down some things that needed to be collected for the secret treasures. Although they were temporarily used a lot and not urgently needed, he would not let them go if he really encountered them.

What surprised Shi Xuan slightly was that among the secret treasures for the fourth heavenly tribulation, there was a secret treasure called the Xuanhuang Merit Tower, which could block one of the nine heavenly tribulations. Its main material was the Xuanhuang Merit Qi, and he just happened to have some in his hands.

Continuing to read, Shi Xuan's surprise became even greater, because in the introduction of some mysterious things later, there was a paragraph about the use of black and white moral energy: "It can increase the possibility of Yin and Yang and moral perfect spiritual tools to advance to magic tools by 30%, or reduce the warming time of such life spiritual tools to advance to magic tools by one and a half centuries."

This was indeed a big surprise for Shi Xuan. Originally, when he achieved his primordial spirit, he was perfect and unimpeded, and he was very harmonious with the laws of heaven and earth. Under the influence of this, the Tai Chi diagram and Yin and Yang two-qi bottle, which were closely related to his primordial spirit, could be advanced to magic tools. The warming time was at most 120 years. Now with the black and white moral energy, the warming time can be shortened to about 30 years, plus the time to refine to perfection, which is about 50 years.

"In that case, I will first upgrade the two spiritual instruments to magic weapons before going to Tongtian World." Shi Xuan made up his mind. Fifty years passed in a flash for Yuanshen Zhenren.

The last part of "Baolu" is the key to how spiritual instruments can be upgraded to magic weapons, such as the Life and Death Banner and the Five Fires Burning Heaven Banner that Qingyunzi attached himself.

This gave Shi Xuan another great surprise, that is, the "Life and Death Banner" part, which provides a secret method to extract the Tiangang restriction from it, and after transformation, it is transformed into the "Yin Yang Life and Death Great Wheel", directly improving the Taoist grade by one level. Of course, the Life and Death Banner is completely useless.

"The Yin Yang Life and Death Great Wheel is now the sixth level, and then the seventh and eighth levels of Taoist arts. With Yuan Shen Zhenren's understanding of the laws of heaven and earth, and my own attainments in Yin Yang Taoism, I can practice to the eighth level in about fifty years. At this time, the Tiangang restriction of the Life and Death Banner can be incorporated, which can save nearly fifty years of effort in practicing to the ninth level of Taoist arts. With the white bones, the six reincarnations that normally take more than fifty years to practice only take ten years. It only takes about sixty years."

Although the Life and Death Banner came from the Soul-Losing Banner and was his first magic weapon, Shi Xuan was not reluctant to let it go, and he naturally let go of what he should let go.

…………

Forty-nine years later, Shi Xuan Cave Mansion on Tianji Peak

The Tai Chi diagram and the Yin Yang Qi bottle floated half-sunk and half-floated in front of Shi Xuan's chest. In Shi Xuan's Yuan consciousness, the thirty-six layers of Tian Gang prohibitions they contained were dense, mysterious and complex, layered and intertwined, and the breath was mellow and restrained, which was the symbol of the perfection of the Tian Gang prohibition.

Moreover, they have been nurtured in Shi Xuan's Dantian for thirty-three years, and the induction with the Yuan Shen and the laws of heaven and earth is getting stronger and stronger. As long as the black and white moral energy is integrated into them according to the secret method of the "Bao Lu", they can shorten the nurturing time and enter the realm of magic weapons on the spot!

Shi Xuan half-closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and sprayed out the black and white light ball the size of his little finger. As soon as it left Shi Xuan's mouth, it turned into two black and white air, one on the left and one on the right, and cast towards the Tai Chi diagram and the Yin Yang Qi bottle.

As soon as the black and white air touched the Tai Chi diagram and the Yin Yang Qi bottle, it immediately expanded, and the black and white fog rolled, tightly covering them.

Shi Xuan used the secret method to integrate his consciousness into the black and white fog. After the connection was completed, he suddenly opened his eyes and shot out a half-foot long light with black on the left and white on the right, which fell on the black and white qi, causing them to shrink rapidly. He closed his eyes again and opened them again, and the light with white on the left and black on the right was changed. Under this illumination, the black and white fog had gradually merged into the two life spirit tools, leaving only a thin layer outside.

Taking this opportunity, Shi Xuan closed his eyes, opened his mouth, and continuously sprayed out dozens of long-prepared ancient thunder patterns, two by two, and then fell on the Tai Chi diagram and the Yin and Yang two-qi bottle separately.

After half a cup of tea, all the ancient thunder patterns fell on the two life spirit tools, but it seemed that something was missing. There was always a trace of breath outside the black and white two-qi, which could not be integrated with the life spirit tools.

Shi Xuan opened his eyes again, and this time he did not shoot out black and white light, but shot out eight huge black and white entangled chaos-like runes in succession, four on each side, which fell on the Tai Chi diagram and the Yin and Yang two-qi bottle respectively.

The black and white light was bright, illuminating the quiet room, and then it suddenly shrank into the natal spiritual weapon, and the light disappeared in an instant.

However, the seventy-two layers of Tiangang restrictions of the two natal spiritual weapons were all activated at once, turning Shi Xuan's quiet room into a sea of ​​restrictions. Between the restrictions was the black and white moral energy, connecting the thirty-six layers of restrictions, making them gradually overlap and slowly merge into one.

With a bang, endless black and white light rushed into the sky. In the black and white light, there was a magnificent golden bridge, two hazy and beautiful black and white long rainbows wrapped in clouds.

However, as soon as these lights touched the top of Shi Xuan's quiet room, they triggered Shi Xuan's long-prepared formations laid by the sect's Jiutian Duzhuan Wanlei Xian Formation, which blocked these lights in the quiet room, but did not prevent them from blending with the laws of heaven and earth.

Dots of black and white light appeared in the quiet room, more and more, as if the entire quiet room was full of dense black and white light spots, and then these light spots were divided into two groups, respectively thrown into the Tai Chi diagram and the Yin and Yang two-qi bottle.

After the whooshing sound, the black and white light that shot up into the sky disappeared without a trace. The Tai Chi diagram and the Yin-Yang Qi bottle swayed up and down joyfully, as if nodding and greeting Shi Xuan. Shi Xuan felt that this was part of his Yuan consciousness.

He used the formation to prevent the breath from leaking out, so as not to be discovered by others, but it was difficult to stop the integration with the laws of heaven and earth. There must have been changes in the sky outside. The immortals near Penglai Sect should also know that Penglai Sect has a magic weapon formed. From this, it can also be inferred that Penglai Sect has one more Yuanshen Zhenren. After all, the advancement of the natal spirit weapon to a magic weapon is slightly different from the advancement of the normal spirit weapon to a magic weapon.

…………

In the Penglai Sect in the Sandao Sea.

There are many disciples between the seven peaks and twenty-eight mountains, either driving magic weapons or using escape methods to go back and forth, and there are also countless immortal birds and auspicious beasts wandering quietly and peacefully in the blue sky.

Suddenly, the sky turned dark, and a huge tornado blew up throughout the Penglai Sect, causing those unprepared disciples and immortal birds and beasts to be blown all over the place, and then dark clouds gathered, and heavy rain fell from the sky.

"What a horrible weather, how could it be like this?" A delicate outer sect female disciple finally grabbed a big tree to avoid being blown away, and then complained to her companions.

Her companions were about to answer, but the heavy rain stopped immediately, the dark clouds dissipated, the tornado stopped, and the sky cleared up, as if they were just dreaming before.

After hesitating for a long time, her companion asked in confusion: "Could it be that some elder in the Soul Stage has achieved the Golden Elixir? Last time, when Elder Zhou achieved the middle-grade Golden Elixir, there were also changes in the celestial phenomena."

"You silly girl, that was wind and clouds, a celestial phenomenon unique to the achievement of the Golden Elixir. What's the big deal about the dark clouds, hurricanes and heavy rain just now?! It can't be the Magic Path Golden Elixir! But even if it is the Magic Path Golden Elixir, it seems that there are wind and clouds."

For a while, the disciples of the entire Penglai Sect discussed with each other, a little panic and a little excited, until the heads of the sect passed on the master's decree, saying that it was a normal weather change, and they stopped with distrust on their faces.

…………

In the main hall of the Jietian Palace, Zhang Zhengyan's consciousness probed outside the hall, staring at the violent storm, his eyes flickering, and finally when the storm stopped abruptly, he closed his eyes, and then opened them firmly, as if he had made a certain decision, but there was a little guilt in his eyes.

In the Tianya Haijiao Building, Lin Luo was also in a daze. After a long time, she smiled bitterly and said, "It's only been forty-nine years, and he can upgrade his natal spiritual weapon to a magic weapon. I really don't know whether to envy or despair. Is the secret method passed down from ancient times so profound?" She felt that Shi Xuan was able to upgrade his natal spiritual weapon to a magic weapon in such a short time because, firstly, he had integrated more true spirits when he achieved his primordial spirit, and secondly, it was from some ancient secret methods of Grandma Yu.

After sighing, she looked in another direction: "What will he do? Is he really going to take that step? Although it is a good thing for the sect, it is hard to know whether it will bring good or bad luck to him personally. It also seriously violates the sect's precepts and will inevitably be punished. Forget it, it depends on his personal choice. Xu Zhenjun also means the same thing. Alas, if he could put his mind on another aspect, maybe he would have succeeded."

…………

When the strange phenomenon appeared in the sky of Penglai Sect, in Yingzhou Sect, which is adjacent to Penglai Sect, there was an old Taoist priest with white hair and thin hair, wearing a simple green Taoist robe, on the top of the pavilion where the sect's classics were stored.

He was originally flipping through a yellowed book. He slowly raised his head and looked towards Penglai Sect, muttering to himself in a soft voice, "The strange phenomenon of heaven and earth produced by the fusion of the laws of heaven and earth is a sign of an advanced magic weapon. But it seems that it was blocked by the Penglai Sect's formation, otherwise it would definitely be more than this. Well, from the aura, it feels like there are more Yuanshi than Yuanling. Haha, when did Penglai Sect have a Yuanshen Zhenren?"

With a sigh, he put down the book and looked at his own sect: "Since the death of nephew Daoquanzi, I am the only old man still alive in the sect. Fortunately, I survived the second heavenly tribulation smoothly. As long as I am not as arrogant as nephew Daoquanzi, the third heavenly tribulation will take another one or two thousand years. With some secret methods, it can be seven or eight thousand years. There should be more real people of the soul. Hey, Penglai Sect is very prosperous now, with two real people of the Yang God and one real person of the soul. It should be the best among the eight major sects."

Concentrating his thoughts, he stood up and called the Taoist boy outside: "I have a gift here. You can send it to Penglai Sect and say that I, Guiyuanzi, congratulate the new Taoist friend for enjoying longevity."

After achieving the soul, according to their own personalities, some people invite all the cultivators above the soul to congratulate, while others do not notify anyone and only announce their names when they meet.

This newly promoted Yuanshen Zhenren seems to be the latter type, but since we already know, we still have to be polite. After all, the two sects have been friends for thousands of years, and it is also a kind of respect for the fellow Zhenren.

…………

In the center of the Flame Islands near the Sandao Sea, there is a tall volcano that erupts all year round, with flames and thick smoke. The huge island where it is located is the location of the Tianhuo Sect.

In the crater, in the red and hot magma, a middle-aged tall monk with an ancient appearance is leisurely floating. It seems that he is taking a hot spring bath.

Suddenly, the middle-aged monk who had closed his eyes and hummed a tune suddenly stood up. Fire patterns and flames appeared on his body. The wide sleeves of the robe and a high crown appeared on his head.

"Is it from Penglai Sect?" The middle-aged cultivator with an ancient appearance said thoughtfully, "It seems that they have produced another Yuanshen Zhenren, but this Taoist seems to be very low-key. He has achieved Yuanshen for two or three hundred years and has not had any contact with the other seven sects. I want to get to know him one day and see which young talent he is."

He waved his hand, and a piece of jade paper made of flames appeared in his palm. Then he used his fingers as a pen and swiped a few times, and a line of words appeared on the jade paper: "Congratulations to Taoist for achieving Yuanshen and enjoying longevity. Zhu Yanzi respectfully presents."

"Yes, my calligraphy is getting better and better, but it's a bit inappropriate to use "respectfully present" here. Forget it, let it be." Zhu Yanzi looked at his handwriting with pride, and then a vermilion seal appeared in his palm, and he stamped it upright, "This seal refined by the Flame God Mountain is really good. Hey, the second heavenly tribulation is coming, I wonder if this secret treasure of the Taoist can be of great use."

Then, he called his disciples and asked them to send this handwritten congratulatory letter to Penglai Sect.

…………

The Yin Sea was covered by thick white fog. Deep in the fog, there was a dark and gloomy island with a magnificent but dark palace-style building.

In the cold and spacious main hall of the palace, on the golden chair with nine black dragons coiled around it, sat a tall man wearing a black imperial robe, a flat crown, and a curtain of beads hanging down to cover his face.

He turned his head slowly, causing the bead curtain to ring, and looked in the direction of Penglai Sect: "Penglai Sect has another Yuanshen Zhenren? Humph, prosperity must decline. It takes two to three hundred years or even more for the natal spirit weapon to advance to a magic weapon, and it takes at least four to five hundred years for the Yin God to achieve Yuanshen. This Yuanshen Zhenren looks like a figure from seven or eight hundred years ago. Could it be that Zhang Zhengyan secretly achieved Yuanshen?"

As his gloomy voice spit out word by word, the whole main hall was filled with cold air and gloomy wind, and it suddenly became as if he was in the underworld.

He casually grabbed a handful of air and put it to his nose to smell it: "The smell is not the same, it's not Zhang Zhengyan, but it should be his generation."

Then he called in a flying yaksha, who said calmly: "Go and congratulate me on behalf of the emperor. Otherwise, other real people will say that the emperor who dominates death has lost his manners, which is a bit shameless."

This flying yaksha, tall and handsome, like a living person, with high intelligence, bowed respectfully and said: "I will obey the emperor's order."

…………

In the North Sea, there is an island with blood-red soil. In the middle of the island, there is a calm blood lake. The blood lake is unfathomable and is the important place of the Blood Demon Sect.

Suddenly, the blood lake rolled like boiling water, and then the blood-colored water in the center of the lake surged to the sky, transforming into a bald, tall and fat old man. He half-squinted his eyes and looked at the Penglai Sect.

"Penglai Sect has a new Yuanshen Zhenren? Wait, this aura." The bald old man spoke slowly in a hoarse, buzzing voice, "It turned out to be that bastard who ruined my good deeds and killed Ning Wuque?! How is it possible?! How long has he achieved Yin Shen?! Could he be the reincarnation of some Zhenren?! But even so, how could he advance his life spirit weapon to life magic weapon so quickly?!"

The face of the Blood River Patriarch suddenly became gloomy. For a moment, the atmosphere in the entire Blood Demon Sect became strangely depressing, making those disciples who didn't know the reason think that they were almost possessed by demons, otherwise why would they feel so uncomfortable and panic!

"It seems that this kid has a deep background, at least a lot of secret inheritance. Humph, since you have achieved Yuanshen, the ancestor will not be bullying low-level cultivators when dealing with you in the future!"

…………

In the inner sea of ​​the Falling Star Sea, on the White Bone Island.

On the empty ground, a skinny old Taoist priest who looked like a bamboo pole suddenly emerged. His zombie-like face looked at Penglai Sect in confusion.

"Damn it, Penglai sect has produced another Yuanshen Zhenren, and I haven't passed the heavenly tribulation yet!" The old Taoist priest said bitterly, "No, this smell is from that despicable, shameless, filthy and sinister boy who stole my magic weapon and let Jiang Laogui block my door. He actually achieved Yuanshen?! How is this possible?! Damn it, is he going to be allowed to live?! God, if you have the guts, strike me to death!" However, as soon as he finished speaking, a flash of thunder seemed to appear in the sky, which frightened him so much that he quickly went back underground and activated the formation with all his strength. When he realized that it was a false alarm, Bai Gu Zhenren was furious. ………… After Shi Xuan put away the Tai Chi diagram and the Yin-Yang Qi bottle, he left the quiet room and planned to rest for a while before continuing to practice the six reincarnations. He had already practiced the Yin-Yang life and death cycle to the eighth level, and the next step was to transform into the life and death banner and the piece of white bones. As soon as he came out, Shi Xuan saw Zhou Dielan: "Dielan, you are here? Have you achieved the middle-grade golden elixir?" Unlike other Yuanshen Zhenren, Shi Xuan needs to make up for too much training, and he has been in seclusion for the past 49 years. Zhou Dielan smiled and said: "Well, after more than ten years of seclusion to calm down my state of mind, I finally advanced to the middle-grade with the help of the divine elixir. I saw something strange happening here just now, so I came to see you. Hey, I didn't expect that Brother Shi, Zhenren Shi, you have achieved the Yuanshen."

Shi Xuan chatted with her for a while, gave her some pointers, and prepared to continue his retreat. However, at this time, the sect sent over three gifts or letters of congratulation.

Seeing Zhou Dielan's curiosity, Shi Xuan opened them in front of her: "This is a gift from Senior Gui Yuanzi of Yingzhou Sect, this is a congratulation from Emperor Yanluo of Nether Sect, and this is a letter of congratulation from Taoist Zhu Yanzi of Tianhuo Sect. Uh, the words on it are not clear." Shi Xuan wanted to say that it was too bad, but considering Zhu Yanzi's face, he changed his words.

"Why are there no Guanghan Sect, Yaowang Sect, Luofu Sect, and Xuemo Sect?" Zhou Dielan asked in confusion.

Shi Xuan smiled: "Guanghan Sect, Yaowang Sect, and Luofu Sect should be too far away, so I didn't feel it. They will come one after another in the future. As for Xuemo Sect, I still have to say whether the ancestor Xuehe will come to congratulate me."

After a few more pleasantries, Shi Xuan returned to the quiet room and began to practice the cycle of yin and yang life and death.

A huge black and white ball appeared in front of Shi Xuan, and then he took out the Life and Death Banner and sprayed a black and white flame, slowly melting the Life and Death Banner, and all of its Tiangang restrictions emerged under the stimulation.

When its material gradually melted, Shi Xuan saw that the time had come, and he shot out several ancient thunder patterns, and then he clenched his hands, and the Tiangang restrictions left the Life and Death Banner and turned into a group of restrictions floating in Shi Xuan's palm.

Ancient runes kept appearing in Shi Xuan's mouth, eyes, and body, hitting the Tiangang restrictions one after another, and then the Tiangang restrictions jumped and fell on the black and white ball in front of Shi Xuan.

Shi Xuan's Yuan consciousness moved, and the black and white ball was retracted to the Yuan Shen, and then combined with the Taoist runes engraved on the Yuan Shen, adding closely, intertwining layer by layer, and then suddenly shrinking, it turned into a complex inscription, which was the ninth-level Taoist Yin and Yang Life and Death Great Cycle.

Strike while the iron is hot, the little finger bone in Shi Xuan's body immediately floated to the ninth-level Taoist inscription. The closer they got, the more they attracted each other.

The bone fell suddenly on the core of the yin-yang life and death cycle, causing Shi Xuan's soul to vibrate, and then he felt endless resentment merging into the black part, and the aura of heaven and man merging into the white part.

…………

Twelve years later.

Endless evil spirits, resentful emotions, and all other negative emotions were attacking Shi Xuan's soul. Although Shi Xuan's soul was frightened by it, it was not as unable to turn as before. It was about to turn into a huge black hole and swallow all the emotions and evil spirits. But at this time, the white aura of heaven and man shone on Shi Xuan's soul, and the huge pressure made Shi Xuan's soul stagnate.

Fortunately, at this time, a purple jade ruler emitted golden flowers and purple light, and a golden bridge appeared across the sky, suppressing the emotions, evil spirits, and the aura of heaven and man respectively. Shi Xuan was relieved, and his soul finally turned into a huge black hole.

A powerful wave spread in the quiet room, and a deep, ancient, peaceful and sacred atmosphere appeared. It seemed that there was a faint sound of ghosts crying and celebrating, but it was blocked by the formation.

Shi Xuan's eyes first went dark, then bright, and the endless evil ghosts and resentful emotions fell to the center of the black part of the black and white ***, splitting it into three pieces, two of which were dark and terrifying, while the heavenly breath fell to the center of the white part, also splitting it into three pieces, one of which was soft and majestic in white.

Finally, this huge reincarnation disc, which turned into six pieces, fell towards Shi Xuan's soul. The Taoist inscription immediately combined with the laws of heaven and earth on the soul and turned into an immortal inscription, which was a mixture of the ancient thunder pattern and the Yang text of the creation of the world and the Yin text of the creation of the world.
