Before the foundation-building realm, Qi-refining Taoist disciples swallowed the essence of the sun and the moon. Although the true energy they cultivated could control spells, it had no Tao nature. It was like a blank piece of paper, unable to leverage the power of heaven and earth. Although it could control the power of heaven and earth, it had no power.
In the human world, it is difficult to defeat the power of God.
When it comes to the realm of foundation building, Taoist priests may have achieved all kinds of unique Qi due to the blood in their bodies, and are powerful and transcendent. These are called martial arts practitioners.
Or the Yin God can communicate with the majestic existence between heaven and earth, observe Yin and Yang, understand the principles, and give the true energy a unique spiritual nature, which can accelerate the Yin God's soul to shed Yin and transform into Yang, and go straight to the road of immortality.
He is a man of immortality.
In short, after the foundation is established, the true energy in the foundation-building Taoist priests will each have a unique character due to the different spiritual roots planted.
For example, after the physical body is built, its true energy will be infiltrated by the dragon's blood in the body, and it will have the nature of the dragon's demonic energy. It will undergo earth-shaking changes in texture and become "dragon's true energy".
Be strong and tenacious.
Therefore, although a Taoist priest who has just entered the realm of foundation building and a Taoist disciple who has completed Qi refining have both been practicing Taoism for fifty years, their abilities are completely different. Killing the former is as easy as killing a chicken.
And now that Xu Dao has planted ghost veins, the object he should sense and communicate with should not be a monster or monster, but should be the underworld under the Nine Netherworld.
Only by visualizing the underworld and cultivating the true energy of the underworld can he be supported on the road to immortality.
As for the one-eyed, long-tongued, and even the Lord of the Yaksha Sect and the White Bone Temple, the Qi they have cultivated is all the Qi of ghosts and monsters, and the things they sense are nothing more than the "insects" that grow in the underworld.
If you are too low, not only will it be difficult to live forever, but your strength will also be weak.
After learning this, Xu Dao felt strange for a moment.
He secretly thought in his heart: "No wonder in the Taoist stage, the Taoist priests who looked up at these Bone Temples and gave up the edict were deeply frightened. But after building the foundation of the physical body, even though they had just entered the realm of foundation building, they found that it was not difficult for these Taoist priests to
Deal with it."
Because whether it is White Bone Temple, She Zhao, or Yaksha Sect, the Taoist traditions within their sects are all heretical.
The spiritual roots planted when Xu Dao's physical body was built were derived from the dragon veins in the body of the golden elixir mirage, which gave him the possibility of pursuing immortality.
Even if he is new to Foundation Establishment and has not yet practiced any Foundation Establishment techniques, he is proficient in transforming into a dragon. After a hundred days of Foundation Establishment, the true energy in his body has already evolved into dragon-type true energy, which is not only first-class for ghosts and monsters.
Taoist priests from other sects can be compared.
In addition, the foundation-building magic weapon in his hand is also a flying sword refined with the "Taibai Xijinjianwan Method", so it is naturally able to compete with Taoist priests who have been around for hundreds of years.
The root cause of this situation lies mainly in the fact that the Yaksha Sect, White Bone Temple, and Shezhao Taoist priests are not orthodox, belong to side sects, and are too weak.
Even according to the memory in the remnant soul of the Yaksha sect master, the important reason why this dog lives in this three-thirds of land in the southwest is that it knows the details of its own family and is afraid that it will be found by the disciples of the orthodox Taoist sect after it goes out.
The head was slaughtered and the great elixir in its body was removed.
The reason why Taoist priests such as the long-tongued, one-eyed, toad, and gecko are willing to stay in the southwest boundary and refuse to move is because they all have their own personal reasons.
Thinking of this, Xu Dao smiled and said to himself:
"It turns out it's not that I'm too strong, but that these Taoist priests are too weak."
Of course, he did not underestimate himself. Whether it was the Dragon Vein Spiritual Root that he had cast long ago in his body, or the Ghost Vein Spiritual Root that had just been cast, both were top-notch heel. Even if they were placed in the orthodox Taoist sect, they still had
The qualifications are higher than those of core disciples.
After combing through it, Xu Li clarified the main gains of his Yin Shen foundation building. He knew what the spiritual root obtained by Yin Shen was, what the cultivation path of the orthodox foundation building realm was, and he suddenly felt a desire to step into the orthodox Taoist sect.
Thoughts within the door wall.
The resources in the southwest are too scarce and the pond is too shallow. We can raise toads and geckos, but not real dragons.
If he wants to take a further step on the road to immortality, he must leave this remote corner of the world and enter a broader world!
Moreover, his physical body, Yin and God have already established foundations, but he has no skills to practice yet, and must go to the orthodox Taoist sect to obtain the next practice method.
Especially for the Yinshen of Xu Dao.
Cultivation in the Immortal Way is not as simple and crude as transforming into a dragon, just digging out the dragon's blood. Although Xu Dao's Yin God has planted high-grade ghost vein spiritual roots, it has the qualifications to communicate with the underworld and receive the power of the underworld.
But if he wants to sense the underworld under the Nine Netherworld, he must either go under the Nine Netherworld and observe the underworld at a close distance, or he can visualize the underworld through the underworld visualization map left by his predecessors, and only then can he successfully escape from the underworld.
It is moistened by it, and then the true energy in Yin Shen's body evolves into the true energy of Huangquan.
As for the former, it is said that only the top Taoists in the world, whose sect has Master Nascent Soul, can grasp the heaven and earth, and grasp the yin and yang, can they lead their disciples into the Nine Netherworld and observe the underworld up close.
As for the latter, only those real ghosts and immortals who have passed through the sect at the level of Nascent Soul and traveled all over the world will leave the underworld visualization diagram in the sect for future disciples to practice.
Among them, Xu Dao had no hope of observing the underworld in person, but he could give it a try by visualizing the underworld through the pictures of the underworld left by his predecessors.
Moreover, according to the memory of the master of the Yaksha Sect, the door that may have this picture is not far from the southwest boundary, and can even be said to be very close.
This Taoist gate is the only Taoist palace in the Kingdom of Wu - Erhai Taoist Palace.
The Taoist tradition of Erhai Taoist Palace was inherited from the Nascent Soul Ghost Immortal in the Shengtang Dynasty. It is an orthodox Taoist sect. There is even a fairy garden left by the ghost immortal in the gate, and its blessings continue to this day.
As for why the master of the Yaksha Sect knew the importance of the Ghost Vein Taoist's visualization of the underworld after forming the elixir, but there was no related memory of the visualization diagram in his memory.
There is no other reason. Although there are no real ghosts and immortals in the Nascent Soul realm in the Erhai Taoist Palace, there are more than one serious Jindan Taoist priests. The master of the Yaksha Sect has no guts to come and ask for them.
Otherwise, Xu Dao can directly obtain the visualization and insights from the memory of the Yaksha Sect Master, and then continue to practice.
Regarding this, Xu Dao felt very regretful.
Although he gained a lot from the other party's memory, he did not obtain the most important Taoist teachings.
As for other information such as practice points, taboos, Taoist palaces, etc., he could have read it from the other party's soul like a book. There was no need to directly integrate the other party's memory into the soul.
From this point of view, Xu Dao risked his Taoist heart to be unstable and his temperament to change drastically by annexing the memory of the master of the Yaksha Sect, but the gain outweighed the gain.
Chewing on this point, Xu Dao secretly became vigilant in his heart:
"It is okay to practice ghost-eating practice, but it is forbidden to annex other people's insights and memories. Otherwise, if the Taoist heart is damaged, no matter how you practice the Qingxin spell, it will only stop the boiling water."
If others could directly absorb insights and memories from other people's souls, they would be overwhelmed and extremely happy. However, Xu Dao had already understood the importance of Taoist mind to his spiritual life early on, so naturally he was afraid to avoid it.
As for giving up the shortcut of obtaining spiritual enlightenment from other people's memories and accelerating Taoist practice, Xu Dao is not a pity... Whether he has the character string in his hand or not, practicing Taoism is like drinking water, so naturally he doesn't care at all.
Xu Dao decided in his heart and set a rule:
"In the future, soul searching is okay, but soul swallowing is absolutely not allowed."
After sorting out his insights, gains, and mood, he stayed in the temporary cave underground and continued to live in a stable and peaceful state.
As for Su Jiu, Chen Wan, and the swordsman, he still placed them in the flying flags and made them sleepy. Anyway, there was no need for any of the three of them now, so he let the three of them continue to rest so as not to disturb them.
to him.
………………
Time passed slowly.
The underground cave where Xu Dao is located is gloomy day and night, and the cold wind howls, as if ghosts and gods are crying.
Although his spiritual roots were firmly established on the spot through the remnant soul of the Master of the Yasha Sect and there was no need to "build the foundation for a hundred days", he still closed his doors.
In addition to repairing the damaged Taoist heart and eliminating the residual influence of the Yaksha Sect Master's memory, Xu Dao spent the whole day devouring and refining the foundation-building food prepared in advance.
Different from the last time he built the foundation, he was fully prepared this time. Not only was the body nourished by the White Bone Yin God fat and strong, but his true energy was much thicker, and even his physical body was benefited from it.
It wasn't until all the refining spiritual materials and elixirs in the banner were consumed, leaving only 50,000 to 60,000 talisman money for spare, that Xu Daofang opened his eyes faintly.
At this time, more than a month had passed, and the seasons outside the cave had happened to change.
Looking at the cold scene in the cave, Xu Dao's eyes narrowed, and the five-foot-tall skull-shaped Yin God instantly got into the body of the same five-foot-tall dragon species.
boom!
The cavern below shook violently, and water vapor billowed.
The huge black shadow in the mist disappeared in a flash, and then a slender figure of a Taoist stepped out of it.
Xu Dao was wearing a Taoist robe, his eyes were like lacquer, his hair was black and his skin was white, and his expression was cold and expectant.
After transforming back into human form, the first thought in his mind was: "It's time to get out of seclusion!"
The next moment, his body swayed and he crashed through the stones blocking the cave, appeared in the outside world, and flew away in a certain direction.
Xu Dao went here not to go directly to Erhai Lake in an attempt to worship in the Taoist Palace, but to prepare to return to Baigu Mountain to reap some benefits.
He has now broken through to the Yin Shen. Although he has a body of Huangquan Qi before he has been refined, he is also a genuine immortal Taoist. Not to mention his strength, his life-saving ability has been doubled.
Coupled with the century-old dragon mana in his body and the Foundation-Building Flying Sword in his hand, it was time to go back and find a place to vent his old depression.
More importantly, now that more than a month has passed, the Master of the White Bone Temple has obtained the great elixir from the main body of the Yaksha Sect. He must have been refining it in seclusion, and attempted to plant it into his own belly to form a fake elixir.
However, the process of forming an elixir is not as simple as Xu Dao's foundation building. It often takes several months or even years.
And according to the memory in the head of the Yaksha Sect Master, when he discarded the fake relic elixir, although he did not choose to self-destruct the fake elixir, he also made some tricks in the fake elixir.
Within one month, if the false relic elixir is not refined, its aura will be completely lost and it will become a useless elixir.
More than a month has passed, and Xu Dao is 90% sure that the Master of White Bone Temple is probably busy refining the fake elixir, or suppressing the aura of the fake elixir, and will never come out of seclusion. He can just go and disturb the other party.
If the other party is really angry and wants to escape and kill Xu Dao even in the process of forming the elixir, then Xu Dao will be even happier.
Now that his physical body and Yin Shen have both built a foundation, he is confident that he can escape from the other party's hands. On the contrary, once the elixir energy is reversed, the other party will give him a chance to seize the elixir.
Of course, this possibility is too slim. Xu Dao does not want to get the fake elixir of relics in the opponent's hands, but just wants to vent his frustration in the Yaksha Gate battlefield.
And to add insult to injury, kill as many remaining Taoist priests under the opponent's command as possible.
High in the air.
The moon and stars are sparse and there are no flying birds. The mountains on the ground are continuous and the trees are like green onions.
Xu Dao was dressed in a gray Taoist robe, with his sword flying in the air. The wind was like an entourage and the clouds were like tassels. He looked full of high spirits and looked like a man among immortals.
Suddenly, a thought came to Xu Dao's mind: "Wealth and honor do not return home, just like walking in brocade at night."
He had not taken this seriously before.
But now, Xu Dao smiled softly, suddenly tore off his gray robe, and took out a White Bone Temple Taoist robe that had been placed for a long time and had never been worn before.
Zheng!
After putting on his Taoist robe, his sleeves fluttered and his sword roared like a shooting star across the night sky, heading towards the White Bone Mountain.
In the evening, I left the retreat cave and headed towards the White Bone Mountains.
When Xu Dao flew over the White Bone Mountain, it was already dawn and the sky was just right, so he did not directly knock on the door to worship the mountain.
Instead, he descended to the mountain forest where he rested last time. He first restored the energy consumed by the journey, and then captured a few wild beasts from the mountains. He used the Bone Path weapon talisman to turn them into inferior skeleton slaves and cut down the trees.
For the wheel, he cut wood for the frame and made a two-wheeled frame.
Then Xu Dao sat cross-legged on the carriage, drove Bai Gu, and drove the long chariot towards the top of the mountain where the White Bone Temple was located.
Cars rattled and bones rattled.
When Xu Dao drove to the top of the mountain where the White Bone Temple is located, as expected, the entire mountain top was shrouded in a gray-white mist.
Seeing this scene, Xu Dao's original estimate of 90% became 99%.
It must be that the White Bone Temple is refining fake elixirs and is in retreat!
As for those Sandu Taoist priests, most of them had not recovered from their injuries, so they raised the mountain-protecting formation and were unable to retreat.
Xu Dao was overjoyed. He restrained his aura and pretended to patrol outside the fog for a long time. He wanted to drive directly into it, but he always ran into walls.
Finally, Xu Dao shouted:
"May I ask the fellow Taoist at the gate, why is the mountain gate closed and no one allowed in?" He used a spell, and his voice echoed outside the entire mountain, extremely clear.
After a while, no human voice came out of the gray mist, but a bull's head as big as ten feet protruded from the mist. It had sharp horns and its teeth seemed to be chewing the cud, but there was red blood dripping between the teeth.
The cow's head was high up, looking down at Xu Dao. It did not see through Xu Dao's suppressive aura, and joy immediately burst out in the cow's eyes.
