Practice in a quiet room.
Zhang Yao was still sensing his own transformation, and had a deeper understanding of the nature of the Golden Core Realm monk.
In addition to the most obvious change in his magic power, his body, soul, and thoughts have also made an earth-shaking leap, and he is almost completely different from the past.
And the most important thing is, of course, the golden elixir transformed from the self-Tao foundation.
"Let me take a good look..."
Zhang Yao mobilized his spiritual thoughts, looked inside himself, and carefully looked at his golden elixir for the first time.
The golden elixir is between reality and reality, hidden in the Dantian. It is difficult to describe the size specifically, and it shines with pure golden luster.
Looking carefully, there are nine subtle golden lines on the surface of the golden elixir, which are integrated with the golden elixir itself.
"The nine divine patterns are indeed a first-grade golden elixir!"
Zhang Yao couldn't help but smile after confirming this.
As early as the moment when the virtual and the real were combined and the golden elixir was refined, he realized that his own golden elixir had no mistakes and was perfect, so he concluded that he should have achieved a first-class golden elixir.
The nine divine patterns on the golden elixir undoubtedly completely confirmed his conclusion.
The ninth grade of golden elixir uses divine patterns as omens;
The lowest level of the ninth-grade golden elixir has only one divine pattern; with each higher level, there is one more divine pattern, and finally it reaches the perfect nine-grade divine pattern and the first-grade golden elixir.
The divine patterns on the golden elixir are the manifestation of the Qi veins and Dao foundation, and are closely related to the cultivation speed, path prospects, and fighting skills of the golden elixir queen.
To put it simply, the more divine patterns you have, the faster you can practice, the higher your success rate when improving your cultivation, and the brighter your future will naturally be.
Take Zhang Yao as an example:
With the double blessing of the 'Five Elements Soul-Enriching Formation' and the first-grade golden elixir, his Five Elements Spiritual Roots' cultivation speed has officially surpassed that of the Heavenly Spiritual Roots, and has reached the top level in the world.
In addition, the most direct difference in the number of golden elixir divine patterns is that each divine pattern can entrust a magical power.
This, to a large extent, determines the strength and weakness of monks of different Jindan levels.
"There is a huge gap in power between different magical powers and Taoist techniques."
Zhang Yao thought about this and pondered for a moment:
"The yellow talisman method I used in the past is no longer suitable for use in the golden elixir realm. As for the desolate soul divine light, it can still be used reluctantly..."
The combat effectiveness of the Golden Core Realm monks is mainly composed of magic weapons and magical channels, and the other secret treasures and secret techniques are just supplements.
Let’s leave aside the magic weapon for now.
The divine channel arts in the world are essentially one and can be divided into four levels.
Taoist techniques that come with their own skills or are completely self-created can be transformed into magical powers by relying on the golden elixir. This is the first level.
The magical power can be used instantly and extremely quickly. At the same time, the speed of practice will be greatly accelerated, and the power will also be greatly increased. It is the main method of fighting for the monks in the Golden Core Realm.
What is not pinned on the golden elixir is still Taoism, but because it comes from basic skills, its power is still superior to other Taoisms, and it is a powerful supplementary method in fighting. This is the second level.
Take the complete version of "The Great Law of Benefiting All Living Beings" mastered by Zhang Yao as an example——
This is the highest true biography of Pingdu Sect, which records a total of ten complete Taoist techniques of the Golden Core Stage.
If a person who practices this technique achieves a fifth-grade golden elixir, he can rely on the five Taoist arts as his magical power and practice another five Taoist arts as a supplement.
As for other earth-attribute Taoist arts, although their zodiac signs are consistent and they can be practiced to a perfect level, because they come from outsiders, even if they are practiced, they are not as powerful as our own Taoist arts. They are considered third-class at most, and few people will spend their time on this. above.
Pingdu Sect's "Pingdu Twelve Techniques" is a typical third-class Taoism. Although it is very famous, it relies on the simplified Foundation-Building Taoism, not how great the twelve Taoisms themselves are. .
As for the fourth level, which is the worst, it is those who do not even match their magic attributes and cannot practice to a high level. They often use common auxiliary Taoist skills such as fire escape, water escape, soul locking, detection, and concealment.
These Taoist techniques can only be used to assist, and if you use them to fight head-on with opponents of the same level, you are simply bringing humiliation to yourself.
"I have the power of the five elements and can match the five zodiac signs, but after all, it is not a basic method. It is a third-class Taoist method."
"As the saying goes, it is only a third-class Taoist skill. Naturally, I should abandon it like worn-out shoes and no longer cherish it."
Zhang Yao felt relieved when he thought of this.
He once relied on the 'Twelve Pingdu Methods' during the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages, but it was actually out of helplessness.
Because in the "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra", there is no magic for the Qi refining stage or any Tao method for the foundation building stage.
Perhaps in the view of the creator of this technique, during the development stages such as the Qi refining stage and the foundation building stage, one should stay at the mountain gate to practice, instead of going out to fight bravely, so they did not create a suitable fighting method. means.
But after being promoted to the Golden Core stage, everything is different.
"Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra" recorded a total of nine Taoist arts during the Golden Elixir Period, each corresponding to different formations. With the formation techniques and formation blessings, the power was even more powerful than ordinary supernatural powers.
The combination of the nine magical powers can create the "nine-color heavenly wheel" that is unique in the world and spans the wilderness.
At that time, Liu Cang, a San practitioner of the Five Elements, was able to fight with the old monster Nascent Soul as a golden elixir realm monk, both of whom suffered losses. This was all due to the terrifying power of the nine-color heavenly wheel.
With such pearls and jade in front of him, Zhang Yao will naturally not worry about the sand and rubble anymore.
After a while.
He came to the familiar palace pavilion, pushed the door open, and came to the pavilion on the right.
The three treasures stored on the right side are all rare treasures of heaven and earth and third-level spiritual objects prepared by Five Elements Sanren, specifically used to practice magical powers and build formations.
"Mingguang True Flame, Lightning Strike Divine Tree, Taiyin Dettol..."
Zhang Yao's eyes swept over the three treasures one by one.
After achieving the golden elixir, if you want to practice magical powers and improve your cultivation, you must first 'attract the five elements and separate the five phases'.
The Five Elements Spirit Containing Formation is the first formation constructed by practitioners of the Wanhua Du Zhenzhen Sutra, and it is also the foundation for the practice of the Five Elements Spiritual Roots.
Through the step of enlightening the five elements, the power of the five elements' spiritual formation can be further strengthened; by separating the five elements, five magical powers can be differentiated, which is the most important source of combat power in the early stage of the golden elixir.
The so-called five phases come from the five elements and are outside the five elements. They correspond to the attributes of the five spiritual roots, namely - light, darkness, ice, wind and thunder.
After the five elements are unified, and then go through a special process of transformation and separation, the power of the five phases can be separated.
in:
The True Flame of Bright Light corresponds to the fire attribute. Using fire to generate light and separate light phases, one can practice the 'Aurora Escape Technique', one of the five phases of magical power;
The lightning-struck sacred tree corresponds to the wood attribute. By using the wood to contain thunder and separate the thunder phase, one can develop the 'killing divine thunder', one of the five-phase magical powers.
"The idea behind this seems to be exactly the same as the secret method recorded in the "Spiritual Source Theory"..."
Zhang Yao's heart suddenly moved, and he couldn't help but think about it.
The "Ling Yuan Liu Lun" he is referring to here is not the one he got from Taoist Wanhe, but the one that spread out from the Five Elements Secret Realm and was the culprit that led to the destruction of Pingdu Sect.
"It's no wonder that with the intelligence of Five Elements Sanren back then and the vision of Patriarch Zhenyang and others, they were addicted to it and couldn't extricate themselves."
The theory in this is really exquisite and interlocking. No one will believe that it is false unless they try it themselves.
In Zhang Yao's memory, even the Five Elements Sanren back then personally collected many Five Spirit Root monks and tried the terrible secret methods recorded in the "Ling Yuan Liu Lun". In the end, they finally came up with nothing in the bamboo basket. I was deceived.
The most important reason why the Five Elements Sanren were deceived is the existence of the Five Elements magical power, which proves that at least the research on controlling the direction of spiritual root changes is feasible in principle.
"...Forget it, it doesn't make much sense to think about this at the moment."
Zhang Yao retracted his divergent thoughts and looked at the last jade bottle, which contained the rare treasure of heaven and earth, 'Taiyin Dettol'.
In the Golden Elixir stage, two formations also need to be constructed - the 'Taiyin Tianshu Formation' and the 'Sun Tianyuan Formation'.
The difference is that these two formations are essentially the same set of formations, forming a yin and yang that interact with each other and can create the most powerful single-body magical power of the golden elixir, the 'Sun and Moon True Pupil'.
"It's a pity that there isn't enough Taiyin Dettol here..."
Zhang Yao felt a trace of regret in his heart.
To construct the 'Taiyin Tianshu Formation' and 'Sun Tianyuan Formation', you need rare treasures of the sun and the moon. Although the categories are not limited, the conditions are still very demanding.
At that time, Liu Cang, a San practitioner of the Five Elements, traveled all over the Central Plains, Southern Xinjiang, Northern Desert, Outer Sea and other areas in order to collect the rare treasures for cultivation in the Golden Elixir period. He went through many twists and turns and took nearly three hundred years. , finally cultivated the true pupils of the sun and the moon, and was able to control the 'nine-color celestial wheel'.
The Mingguang True Flame, Lightning Strike Sacred Tree, and Taiyin Dettol that remain here are all what was left after he used them up back then.
There is not much Taiyin Dettol in stock, and it is not enough for Zhang Yao to construct a complete 'Taiyin Tianshu Formation'. However, Zhang Yao knows that he obtained it from the Liangyue River in Jingguo back then. Zhang Yao can completely copy his route. So I don't feel too sorry.
The same applies to other rare treasures and spiritual objects. Zhang Yao can learn from the experience of the Five Elements Sanren back then, but it is hard to say how effective it will be under the changing circumstances.
"Uh-huh."
Zhang Yao waved his sleeves, put away the three spiritual treasures including the Mingguang True Flame, turned around and left the palace.
These three spiritual objects are the last legacy of the Five Elements Sanren. There were originally a few magic weapons, but they were all scattered by Yu Wentai and used as fishing bait, and fell into the hands of Ancestor Zhenyang and others.
But Zhang Yao actually didn't care about those magic weapons.
In the golden elixir stage, one can refine a natal magic weapon, and the best choice for practitioners of the "Wanhuadu Tianzhen Sutra" is to use the power of formations to temper their own bodies into this natal magic weapon.
The Five Elements San people in front of me also followed this path. Many of the magic weapons they captured and conquered along the way went into their stomachs. The rest were just ordinary street goods. Even the masters who were surrogates and raised by Zhen Yang Patriarch and others It's not as good as any magic weapon.
And Zhang Yao is taking this path now, and only this path combined with formations and magical powers can he rival high-level body-refining cultivators in the future.
"Those magic weapons cannot be cheapened by Ancestor Zhenyang and the others..."
Zhang Yao narrowed his eyes slightly when he thought about this:
"But we are not in a hurry to go out now. Let's practice the 'Aurora Escape Technique' and the 'Destroying Divine Thunder' first!"
After he achieved the golden elixir, his strength skyrocketed and he was no longer afraid of Patriarch Zhenyang and others.
In fact:
Nowadays, his magic power is far more powerful than that of Jindan Perfect, and his body, soul, and thoughts are extremely powerful. Even if he fights with bare hands against the three people including Patriarch Zhenyang, he still has a good chance of winning.
It's just that you can obviously practice your magical powers and increase your strength before going out to crush the game. Why take the risk and go out to gamble?
"By the way, keep that magic weapon first."
Zhang Yao suddenly remembered that there was still a magic weapon belonging to the ancestor of the Three Mountains in the secret realm that he had not collected.
"Buzz!"
His spiritual thoughts activated the formation center, and with one step, he directly moved the space and came to that small world.
More than forty years later, the earthy yellow seal carved with the shadow of the mountains hovered motionless in mid-air, as if it had lost its spirituality.
"It's been so many years in a flash..."
Zhang Yao couldn't help but sigh when he saw this seal, and thought of the most dangerous battle that year.
Although the three-faced incarnation has golden elixir-level magic power, it does not have the blessing of the golden elixir. In addition, it has suffered heavy injuries and lost its magic power. The power of controlling the magic weapon is only a fraction of the original body at best.
But even this fraction of the power could easily tear Zhang Yao's most proud yellow talisman armor into pieces like tearing paper.
The strength of the Golden Pill Ancestor and the power of the magic weapon can be seen from this.
Zhang Yao didn't take any action on it at the beginning, simply because he was unable to erase the imprint left by the ancestors of the three mountains, and he didn't want to violently destroy this magic weapon through the power of the formation, so he could only shelve it.
But now that he has achieved the realm of golden elixir, everything is different.
"boom!"
He stretched out his hand and grabbed it, powerful magic power surged out, and the sky of the small world was filled with five-color golden light.
The khaki-yellow seal suddenly 'awoke', like a frightened monkey, turning around in mid-air, turning into a stream of light and escaping in all directions.
It's a pity that the magic weapon that lost the blessing of its master's magic power couldn't even last a round in front of Zhang Yao, so it was suppressed by the powerful magic power and fell into Zhang Yao's hands.
"This magic weapon is quite good. I'm afraid it has been nurtured for at least a thousand years."
Zhang Yao smiled slightly, and mobilized all his spiritual power, pouring into the seal like a torrent.
"boom!"
The divine imprint in the seal tried its best to resist, but the gap between the two sides was too big. However, the stalemate lasted only a breath and 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 exchange it for two or three inferior magic weapons."
Thinking of this, he temporarily put away the seal in his hand, turned around and returned to the cave.
And right at the same time:
Outside, inside the mountain gate of Shanhe Sect.
"puff!"
The ancestor of Sanshan, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes and spat out a mouthful of blood, his face turned pale:
"No...my imprint in the Wanshan True Seal has been broken!"
At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind:
"Master Qingxu! It must be him!"
"He has reached the realm of golden elixir!!"
