Each school and sect has its own fundamental practice methods. Some focus on nourishing essence, some focus on refining qi, and some focus on preserving the spirit. Each has its own mysteries.
However, different paths lead to the same destination.
To the end of the practice of each school and sect, the most superior state is the unity of the three treasures of essence, Qi, and spirit, and the truth with the Tao. When gathered, it takes shape, and when scattered, it becomes Qi, transcending the world.
Because the methods of cultivating the truth and seeking immortality are different, each school and sect performs differently in different realms.
The [Hunyuan Xuan Gong] of the Lingshan sect of Chu Chen's master is derived from the "Huang Ting Sutra". It cultivates the three Dantians and the three spirits, cultivates yin and yang in the sixth level of Taoism, stores the essence in the palace of life, and cultivates it into the lower spirit. The soul leaves the body, wanders around the world, and comprehends the world.
The sixth level realm is quite important in "Hunyuan Xuan Gong".
As for the fifth level of Taoism, Chu Chen knew a lot about it, but after all, he had just stepped into the fifth level, so he immediately said modestly:
"Please ask Master for guidance."
Seeing that Chu Chen was neither arrogant nor impatient, Xu Ping was quite satisfied:
"The fifth level of Taoism is another watershed in the world of spiritual practice. It is the state of great success in the Kung Fu stage."
"Take our Lingshan sect's [Hunyuan Xuan Gong] as an example. After reaching the fifth level of Taoism, the union of yin and yang gives birth to the innate mother Qi, which changes blood, bones, tendons, etc., and finally cultivates the spiritual body and treasure body, and the life skill is completed. When the physical body reaches perfection, it resonates with the heaven and earth, and the divine power arises by itself."
Speaking of this, Master Xu Ping paused and said with a smile:
The [body-protecting divine power] of the fifth-level Taoist realm is the combination of the small world inside the body and the big world outside the body. With my Qi, combine the Qi of heaven and earth, use my god, combine with the god of heaven and earth, and refine it to a certain level internally. Man and heaven and earth unite, the power of heaven and earth gathers together, supernatural powers come naturally, and they are powerful and domineering. "
"This is probably the case for all schools and sects, but each school and sect has different cultivation methods. There are many kinds of [Body Protector Divine Gang]."
"Disciple, I'm afraid you have seen many fifth-grade strong men fighting in the East China Sea Demonic Abyss. You must have also seen that the body-protecting divine gang is extremely mysterious, far beyond the comparison of sixth-grade Taoist monks."
Chu Chen nodded repeatedly.
Not only has he seen it, he has also personally killed two fifth-level demons, the "Demon Dragon" and the "Deep Sea Octopus", and has a deep understanding of it.
The Demonic Dragon had just broken through to the fifth level, and his Taoist cultivation was still shallow. The magical power of the [Body Protection Divine Gang] unique to the fifth level Taoist had not yet been refined. Compared to the sixth level, his cultivation was just a little stronger.
In the case of a sneak attack, he used Hu Lao's [White Tiger God's Evil Claw], coupled with the Azure Dragon Sword and the Spirit Sword to easily kill the demonic dragon.
The other deep-sea octopus monster is much more powerful.
It is a true fifth-grade demon with a strong moral character and a protective aura condensed all over its body. It cannot be broken even by his use.
If he hadn't used his eight hundred Yin soldiers and Yin generals to use their magical powers and summon the Black Evil General to kill the giant octopus's protective evil, he would have been defeated.
The little ghost boy held the incense burner and followed Xu Ping and Chu Chen in.
It is a sixth-grade Taoist practice. It has been practicing continuously these days and is expected to break through to the fifth grade. It is also very curious about the realm of the fifth-grade Taoist practice and came in to observe.
As soon as he heard Taoist Master Xu Ping talk about the [Body-Protective Divine Gang] of the fifth-level Taoism, the little kid immediately scratched his head and muttered to himself:
"Senior Brother has not yet broken through to the fifth level, but he killed two fifth-level demons at the sixth level. How can the [Protective Divine Gang] be so powerful?"
The little ghost is a sincere ghost. If it were normal, he would have been making noises and crouching on his hips to show off to the master - my senior brother and I jointly killed two fifth-level demons, but the [Protective Divine Gang] was mediocre, so we killed them randomly.
It's a pity that because the little devil was too honest, his master, Taoist Master Xu Ping, silently used a secret method to "silence" him. He was hesitant and unable to speak, and his spiritual consciousness could not be transmitted.
Seeing the little devil's excitement, Chu Chen vaguely guessed its thoughts and smiled. He did not show off the fact that he had killed a fifth-grade monster in the Demon Abyss.
The little kid has no brains, but he can't just show off his magical powers in front of the master and overwhelm the master.
This is the most basic principle of respecting teachers.
"Master, so you say, the biggest difference between the fifth-grade Dao Xing and the sixth-grade Dao Xing is the word 'Gang'?"
Chu Chen vaguely realized something and immediately asked his master for advice.
The Gang has access to the wonders of creation and can capture the power of heaven and earth.
The Fu is as strong as white paper, and the Dharma is as strong as an empty fist.
Taoist monks make secrets and recite incantations, fight on foot and step, summon ghosts and gods, call wind and rain, and the changes are endless.
In the early stages of practice, when the Taoist practice is not deep and the magic power is not enough, in addition to writing talismans and chanting mantras, the Yubu Dougang is also an important part of casting spells.
For example, when Chu Chen practices the spells in the "Dijin Collection" of his master Lingshan School, he has to step on the "Kui Gang" from time to time.
This is the "Bu Gang Step Fighting Technique", also known as Yu Bu.
Yu Bu is the discipline of Tiangang that Yu received from Taishang. It can seek the truth and prohibit all things, including humans, gods, dragons, ghosts, evil snakes and poisonous insects, etc. There are innate Bagua Gang method, acquired Bagua Gang method, and Taiyi Zhenren Bu Gang. Dharma, Seven-Star Gangstep and so on.
Gang has the same pronunciation as Gang, and Tiangang is the handle star of the sky.
The positive energy of the universe follows the rotation of the Heavenly Gang. Wherever the Gang star points, the positive energy of the universe is directed. Therefore, all things cannot be born without the Gang, and cannot be fertile without the Gang.
The so-called Bugang Dou Shu is about grasping and being gentle, responding to the vitality, and conforming to the way of nature.
"Yes, my disciple, you are right."
Taoist priest Xu Ping nodded with satisfaction and said:
"The mystery of the fifth-level Taoist practice lies in the 'Bu Gang', which is not Bu Gang, but Bu Gang. It uses Qi to cloth Gang, and uses God to cloth Gang. It is easy to use my Qi and the Qi of heaven and earth, and use my God to combine the Qi of heaven and earth." God, supernatural power and creation are all tied to one thought.”
Speaking of this, Taoist priest Xu Ping was quite emotional:
"The magical power of the fifth-grade Daoxing is much more powerful than that of the sixth-grade. If you make a move at will, the energy will roll, and the universe will follow you. It contains the power of heaven and earth, and is powerful and domineering."
Chu Chen nodded repeatedly. The scene that impressed him most was the scene when Ying Er suppressed the remnants of the Demon Cult with one punch. The golden dragon fist exploded with billowing energy, unrivaled in its domineering power.
Reaching the fifth level of Taoism and possessing the means of "Bu Gang" is an extremely important stage for immortal cultivators.
To a certain extent, this is the beginning of the Fulu sect's immortal cultivators' independent control over Taoism and magical powers.
Before reaching the fifth level of Taoism, Xuanmen Taoist priests had to rely more or less on the help of immortals, gods, ancestors, etc. to perform magical powers. There are opinions on whether spells are "efficacious" or not.
After reaching the fifth level of Taoism, practitioners move toward independence, understanding the world, and mastering the mysteries of heaven and earth. This path is of great significance and is the first step into the realm of great supernatural powers.
Of course, this is an extremely difficult road. Countless practitioners have stopped here and have difficulty in taking this step and entering a new world.
Chu Chen knew very well that the fifth level of Taoism was the most critical stage for a cultivator, and he was not in a hurry, so he did not delve into it, but was very interested in the magical power of his master's [Body Protector Divine Gang].
"Master, how about the [Body Protecting Divine Gang] of "Hunyuan Xuan Gong" that you have perfected? Is it powerful?"
"That must be awesome!"
When Taoist Xu Ping saw his disciple asking about this matter, he proudly raised his chest and said:
"My master's [Innate Hunyuan Xuan Gang] is no worse than the body-protecting divine gang that has been cultivated by the fundamental method of the Immortal Sect of the great sect, and is even slightly better than three points. In the future, we will be successful in refining the body and will cultivate the spiritual embryo treasure body to great perfection. Even with the Even in a hand-to-hand fight with a fifth-grade demon, we are not weak at all."
"Master, that's really good. Our Lingshan Sect's [Hunyuan Xuan Gong] does have the foundation of the great Immortal Sect."
Chu Chen couldn't help but sigh after hearing this.
The physical body is the foundation of spiritual practice. It is cultivated and refined to form a perfect form. Whether it is seeking immortality or fighting with supernatural powers, the benefits are countless.
After cultivating to the fifth level, the master's [Hunyuan Xuan Gong] can truly show its tyranny.
