Chapter 499 The True Meaning of Leaping Levels

Two years later, Penglai Sect Tianji Peak, Shi Xuan Cave.

The Shi Xuan Yuanshen, which was identical to his physical body, except that it had a little more glazed light flowing, suddenly became ethereal, and quickly disintegrated, turning into dots of light that scattered away, and these dots of light became dimmer and dimmer, and soon disappeared.

At the other end of the cave, a vague figure emerged, turning from virtual to real, and it was Shi Xuan Yuanshen.

"The transformation of the virtual and the real, the gathering and dispersing are as desired, and the realm has finally stabilized completely." Shi Xuan looked at his substantial right hand and said with a little joy, "And this time the advancement is not like the last time when I passed two tribulations in a row. The immortal arts and magic weapons can't keep up with the realm. In addition to the Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Divine Light, only the Purple Ying Sword can be used."

In the 560 years when the Yuanshen was sealed by the Diamond Glazed Immortal Talisman, Shi Xuan gained wisdom in silence. In addition to the accumulation of more than a thousand years of Yin-Yang Taoism and the laws of heaven and earth after achieving the Yuanshen, and the considerable gains from observing the Yin-Yang strange stone, the Yin-Yang lightning immortal arts such as the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the Two Principles of Dust, the Innate Eight Diagrams, the Book of Cause and Effect, the Divine Sky True Thunder, the Innate Wind and Thunder Escape, the Five-Direction Thunder God Great Capture, and the Two Realms Void Crossing Technique, were cultivated to the third level a full sixty years ahead of the scheduled three hundred years.

However, Shi Xuan had not yet completely passed the third heavenly tribulation, and these immortal arts could not be cultivated to the fourth level. He could only comprehend day and night, deepen his understanding, and strengthen his mastery. With the remaining three hundred years of concentrated meditation, Shi Xuan felt that practicing these immortal arts was twice as effective as practicing them in the past two years. It normally takes 660 years to advance, but he estimated that it would only take 580 years, or even less.

Moreover, among these immortal arts, in addition to the six reincarnations that were beaten back to their original form, Shi Xuan also had the pseudo-cross-level immortal art of Liang Yi Micro Dust, which was equivalent to the fourth level, enough to match his realm of the Three Tribulations Yang Shen Zhenren. However, in the future, the fifth-level immortal art needs to touch the avenue and have the power of the avenue, and it can no longer continue to cross levels. After all, the fake is fake.

"It takes 840 years to cultivate the Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Divine Light to the fifth level, because I have not yet touched the Yin-Yang Great Dao and obtained a trace of its essence, so I cannot save time for cultivation. But on the other hand, isn't the process of cultivating the Yin-Yang Mixed Hole Divine Light the process of touching the Yin-Yang Great Dao?!" It was not until this time that Shi Xuan realized the important role hidden in the cross-level immortal arts, and why it was so precious, so rare, and so sought after. Even though there are many pseudo-cross-level arts that are not much different from the real cross-level arts in terms of power, and because it is essentially a lower-level immortal art, it takes much less time to cultivate and is easier to improve, but the two can never be compared. "The real cross-level immortal technique can allow the cultivator to feel the things of the next realm in advance, which is naturally of great benefit to cultivation. This is not very obvious in the first three heavenly tribulations, but once facing the fourth heavenly tribulation that requires a trace of the essence of the great way to hope to survive, it is equivalent to directly opening this door, leaving the cultivator with only accumulation and hard work."

"Because it has some characteristics of taking shortcuts, it should come from its own fundamental law without exception, so that the majestic and huge foundation can eliminate hidden dangers, so the real cross-level immortal technique, outsiders can never learn it." In addition to his own, the real cross-level that Shi Xuan has seen is Kong Ran's five-color divine light, which also comes from the foundation of his own supreme practice and from the gradual deepening of his practice.

In addition, among the supreme skills that Grandma Yu and Wan'er practiced, there are three direct cultivation immortal arts, one is "Time Flies", one is "Rebirth of All Things", and one is "Destruction of Ten Directions". They are not real cross-level immortal arts, but among them, "Destruction of Ten Directions" can set up the "Two Worlds Ten Directions Heaven Destruction Array". When it comes to the fourth level to the fifth level, it is possible to jump one level and directly touch the Great Dao of Destruction and get a trace of its essence.

"Combined with the "Yin Yang Flowing Tai Chi Diagram" practiced in the realm of visualizing the "Bao Lu", I am sure that I can touch the Great Dao of Yin and Yang in 600 years and get a trace of its true essence. After accumulating for about a thousand years, I estimate that I can impact the fourth heavenly tribulation." Shi Xuan sighed in his heart, the supreme skills are the supreme skills. In order to touch the two great ways of ice and snow and Taiyin, Meng Nishang practiced for 1,300 years, and then spent almost 1,200 years accumulating time.

The Yin-Yang Circulation Tai Chi Diagram is the practice method of the Baolu after the third heavenly tribulation and before the fourth decline tribulation. It can be practiced in conjunction with the Tai Chi Diagram, the natal magic weapon.

As for the other two nearly immortal arts that truly transcend the level, the "Four Symbols World-Destroying Sword" and the "Five Elements Immortal-Destroying Sword", after 560 years of sacrifice and practice, are still about 100 years away from the fourth level, the former still has about 200 years.

As for the other immortal arts, except for a few doors of opposite and contradictory nature that are still at the second level, they have all become third-level immortal arts.

Shi Xuan's soul walked into the flesh, adjusted his breath for a moment, and spit out a warm and simple white jade seal. There was a mysterious talisman on each of the four sides, and the mysterious pattern on the seal formed two seal characters "sinking the ground", which was the magic weapon on the body of the three-tribulation Yangshen Zhenren who was killed by the Qingsuo Sword.

Because Shi Xuan was activated in advance, the power of the Qingsuo Sword was somewhat uncontrollable. Not only did it completely crush his soul, but it also crushed the two pure yang magic weapons that were nurtured in the soul.

Originally, Shi Xuan had not held out much hope of getting the magic weapon, but unexpectedly, there was a Three Tribulations Pure Yang "Earth-Trapping Seal" trapped in his storage bag. He had taken it after killing an enemy monk. Since the magic weapon refused to recognize him as its master, he could not take it into his soul, so he had to trap it and put it in the storage bag, and forcibly refine it in his free time every day. Unexpectedly, the magic weapon escaped the disaster, which benefited Shi Xuan.

Grateful for Shi Xuan's revenge for his former master, the Earth-trapping Seal released the treasure ban without any hesitation, allowing Shi Xuan to leave a mark on its core, and then practice it day and night to master it.

In addition, Shi Xuan also looked up to the Three Tribulations Yang God True Man, a fourth-level secret treasure "Mirror of Reflection". No matter what kind of hidden immortal art or invisible and intangible characteristics, as long as the rank does not exceed it, it will immediately reveal itself when it is illuminated, which is the nemesis of some exercises.

After practicing the "Earth-trapping Seal", Shi Xuan took it into his Yuanshen, which now contained two pictures, a bottle, a sword, a bell, and a seal.

The two pictures are the Tai Chi picture and the picture of the world and mountains and rivers.

After years of practice, the Tai Chi picture has seventeen layers of treasure bans, and it is only one step away from the perfection of the eighteenth layer of treasure bans. Because it is a life-long magic weapon and belongs to Yin and Yang, it will take about three hundred years to practice the last layer of treasure bans, and its current power is not much different from that of an ordinary Three Tribulations Pure Yang magic weapon.

Since entering the Yuanshen, the Tai Chi diagram has finally caught up with Shi Xuan's pace, similar to the Yin Yang Two Qi Bottle.

The Tiandi Shanhetu is currently in the eleventh level of treasure forbidden, and it will take more than two hundred years of sacrifice and refinement before it can be nurtured to wait for the second heavenly tribulation. In these hundreds of years, the world where Yin and Yang were first separated has evolved to the ancient times, producing the first thunder and the first drop of rootless water, two mysterious things, which were collected by Shi Xuan.

Among them, the first thunder after the opening of the small world, Shi Xuan gave it to Master Jiang, who re-refined it into a Nine Heavens Thunder Immortal Seal to suppress the eye of the immortal array, and then he returned the replaced Nine Nine Heavens Thunder Gourd to Shi Xuan.

Because he thought that Xu Zhenjun had contributed the last pure yang magic weapon, the Five Elements Cleansing Bell, while he himself did not lose a magic weapon, and now it was his own, Shi Xuan originally planned to return the Five Elements Cleansing Bell to Xu Zhenjun. After all, he still had the Tai Chi Diagram, his lifelong magic weapon that could attack and defend at the same time. However, Xu Zhenjun firmly refused to accept it. Later, he could not refuse it, so he took the Nine-Nine Heavenly Thunder Gourd for self-defense. With his care, the Nine-Nine Heavenly Thunder Gourd, which had been in the twelfth-level treasure ban for a long time, might be able to survive the second heavenly tribulation.

Without further delay, Shi Xuan sent a message to Zhang Zhengyan, who was guarding the sect, and Chu Wan'er, who was consolidating her realm and practicing immortal arts. After explaining it, he activated the time and space landmark gate of the Seven Immortals World in his body and disappeared in his own cave.

…………

Seven Immortals World, the top of Zhushan Mountain.

Since a terrifying thunderstorm that affected the entire universe and almost destroyed the world broke out over Canglan City nearly six hundred years ago, Xia Jing and Zhan Tang, two of the Seven Sons of Zhushan, announced that they would temporarily close the Zhushan Dojo, no longer preaching publicly, and no longer accepting disciples. As for the day when the Zhushan Dojo would reopen, it was uncertain.

For this matter, the four major sects and the Yin-Yang Divine Sect, which had just re-emerged, were relieved. The backstage of the Zhushan Dojo was too powerful, and it was best for them to keep a low profile. However, they were also very jealous. Xia Jing and Zhan Tang must have received great benefits from the ancestors of Zhushan, so they were in seclusion to digest it.

"Please ask Master Xia and Master Zhan to teach me Taoism." A little boy kowtowed all the way to Zhushan from outside Anxi City. Every time he kowtowed, he prayed. His forehead was bloody and covered with mud, which looked bloody and dirty.

Since the temporary closure of Zhushan Daochang, Taoist items have become precious again, and ordinary people cannot buy them. The little boy Zhuang Yukun admired the immortal way and came from afar to ask several real people in Zhushan Daochang to teach him the Taoist method, but he was rejected without even seeing Xia Jing and others.

He did not give up, and begged for many days. He kowtowed until he fainted several times. Today was the fifth time he kowtowed to Zhushan.

Around him, many cultivators and mortals watched. Some came to ask for the Taoist method, and some were curious to find out why Zhushan Daochang was temporarily closed... They were all moved by Zhuang Yukun's behavior.

As if she couldn't bear it, a slightly low and beautiful female voice sounded: "Please go back. Zhushan Daochang is open and closed because the practice is flawed. It is inconvenient for us to poison others." The tone was unusually firm.

As soon as this was said, everyone was in an uproar. The practice is flawed? ! But didn't you guys practice to the level of Yuanshen Zhenren? ! I haven't heard of anyone who went crazy and died because of the flaws of the two great ways of Zhushan? ! If it is that kind of defect, don't the four major sects also have it? !

Zhuang Yukun still kowtowed and walked forward without stopping. For him, no matter how flawed it is, it is still the way to the Yuanshen!

Seeing that everyone was talking and feeling uneasy, Xia Jing was silent for a moment and said, "Regarding the matter of the exercises, more than 500 years ago, the teacher had promised to publicly teach the authentic Yuanshen Dao, but one day in heaven is estimated to be ten years on earth, so we have to wait for some time." She found an excuse for Shi Xuan's slip of the tongue.

"The Zhushan Patriarch who ascended to the immortal world came down to earth to teach immortal arts?"

"Is it the Zhushan Patriarch who shook the world, had great magical powers, and boundless mana?"

"More than five hundred years ago, was it the thunder?"

Amidst the noisy discussions, a green figure walked leisurely in the air with his hands behind his back. Each step seemed small, but it covered thousands of miles. Before the person arrived, a faint voice came: "Xia Jing, Zhan Tang, you guys announce to the world that in one month, the Zhushan Taoist temple will reopen. I will teach the authentic Yuanshen of Taoism and open the door to the great way for this world."

"Disciples will obey the teacher's order." Xia Jing, Zhan Tang and others answered in unison, their voices extremely excited.
