The first step in returning to spiritual practice is to "enlighten the Tao."
The purpose of enlightenment is to arouse the resonance of the Dao and make the Dao manifest itself.
Xu Ke was sitting cross-legged in the quiet room of Cangmingyuan Cave. Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, light, darkness, time and space, twelve great ways, and infinite principles were constantly circulating in his mind.
The Taoist rhyme seems to have condensed into substance, manifesting various "visions".
Little bits of spiritual light are swirling around the body, like flowers falling from the sky.
Brilliant golden brilliance rippled beneath him, like a golden spring gushing from the ground.
The melodious sound lingers in the quiet room, like the sound of the great road.
The dazzling light soared into the sky, and the avenue hummed in harmony.
At this moment, gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, light, darkness, time and space, and the twelve avenues of heaven and earth were all revealed in front of Xu Ke's eyes.
The rays are shining brightly and the auspicious energy is steaming.
Immortal light and Taoism are intertwined, and auspicious clouds and Taoism are intertwined.
The way that practitioners understand perfectly fits the great road of heaven and earth, which is unprecedented.
Heaven and earth seemed to be resonating, and the avenue seemed to be cheering.
In this world that had fallen into despair, a light of hope was born.
The love of heaven and earth and the blessing of the great road all converge on Xu Ke.
Just like a mother nursing her child for fear that he would not have enough to eat, countless rules of the Tao were poured out to Xu Ke.
In addition to the basic twelve avenues of "gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, light, darkness, time and space", other "karma", "destiny", "life and death", "reincarnation"... all the rules of the avenues contained between heaven and earth are all displayed In front of Xu Ke.
It is truly a blessing from heaven and earth!
The question is...are you not afraid of supporting me to death?
Xu Ke's path has long been determined, and there is no time to distract him, let alone him.
Taichu Avenue is already the top avenue, so why do you need a bicycle?
How can those "coquettish bitches" be compared with Taichu Dao?
Among the endless avenue rules, Xu Ke still followed the original path and accepted the twelve avenue rules of "gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, light, darkness, time and space".
With a thought, Xu Ke's body turned into nothingness, transformed into an information form, and interacted with the twelve avenues of heaven and earth.
Because Xu Ke had already fully understood these twelve rules of the Tao through the process of Gouzi's attainment, and he had also gained hundreds of times of gains countless times, so he understood it very clearly.
At this moment, the process of "obtaining the Tao" was incredibly fast and was completed in an instant.
Xu Ke, who transformed into an information form, was completely integrated with the twelve avenues of heaven and earth.
The next step is to rebel against innateness and achieve the Great Way of Taichu.
A soul was separated and manifested in the main hall of the cave. Xu Ke's distracted wave activated the "Qi Men Dun Jia" array that had been deployed, once again covering up the secret.
Taking back this soul, Xu Ke integrated all his mind into the twelve avenues of heaven and earth, and began to rebel against the innate nature and unify all laws.
Twelve great ways, thousands of principles, and infinite rhymes of the Tao, flow, interact, and merge in the heart.
Metal, gold energy, metal nature, vegetation, wood energy, wood nature...
Matter, aura, spirituality...
Life, energy, soul...
Time is reversing, space is collapsing, and all matter, all energy, all spirituality, and all the rules of the road are all converging at one point.
And so...a light was born.
In the void, the first ray of light.
Zhuangzi said: In the beginning there was nothingness, nothingness had no name.
Lieh Tzu said: The beginning is the beginning of Qi.
The beginning of vitality is called Taichu. Its energy is vast and is the foundation of all things.
In the beginning, there was no form, and the energy was innate.
This is the root of heaven and earth, the foundation of all things, the source of the great road, the beginning of all things, and the origin of all things.
Tao gives birth to one, gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things.
In the beginning, it was this “one”.
As for the rules of Taichu Dao, they are not as mysterious and complicated as Gouzi said.
What others see is just the appearance, but what Xu Ke sees is the essence.
There is only one essence of Taichu, and that is "evolution"!
No wonder I have always been obsessed with the name "Dayan". It turns out that this name is really closely related to me.
All the rules and order of the great avenue of heaven and earth are actually derived from "Taichung".
In other words, the avenue is what I define!
His own life information has been completely integrated into Taichu Dao. At this point, Xu Ke's return to virtual reality has been successfully completed.
And... because the Tao of Taichu does not usually appear, Xu Ke's soul mark is imprinted on the Tao of Taichu. If others want to erase this soul mark, they will not be able to find it.
Under normal circumstances, Xu Ke is already immortal.
Even if he was killed countless times, the imprint of the soul imprinted on Taichu Avenue could not be erased. Xu Ke could be resurrected anytime and anywhere.
But...there are still abnormal situations.
For example, the Holy Emperor Dayu destroyed the world and became enlightened.
The world collapses, the avenue is destroyed, and the Taichu avenue hidden within the avenue will also be destroyed.
It's like, even if he can't find the hidden files in the computer, he just smashes the computer into pieces and makes all the hidden files useless.
Therefore, it is necessary to overthrow Holy Emperor Dayu.
Xu Ke smiled, exited the state where the avenues merged, and reappeared.
The image of the beginning completely dissipated, all the visions disappeared one after another, and the ordinary scene appeared in front of him again.
The soul is imprinted on the void, the life information is integrated into the Taichu Avenue, and the practice in the return to void period has been completely completed.
Of course, it can be more complete.
With a thought, Xu Ke gave himself another hundredfold gain.
During the process of spiritual cultivation, all the experiences, realizations, thoughts, understandings, and insights have increased a hundred times.
The essence of Yuan Shen and the imprint of returning to the void have also soared a hundred times.
The strength of the soul that is a hundred times higher quality is not much different from other people's bodies of the Great Dao that were forged by the rules of the Great Dao during the integration stage.
Even if someone could find Xu Ke's Yuan Shen imprint with a hundred times higher quality, it wouldn't take thousands of years to erase Xu Ke's Yuan Shen imprint.
As for combat effectiveness...
The Great Way of Taichu is reflected in "evolution".
A ray of divine light from the beginning hits all spells, all supernatural powers, all substances, all energies, and all rules, and they are all redefined.
Today's Xu Ke can really achieve the goal of being "invulnerable to all means and invulnerable to everything."
Any attack is meaningless to Xu Ke. Any defense is also meaningless to Xu Ke.
Of course, to talk about strength aside from realm is to act like a hooligan.
Xu Ke's current strength, when combined, can kill him instantly with one move.
For monks in the integration stage, the body of the great road is forged by the rules of the great road. For Xu Ke, it is just more difficult to defeat, but not necessarily invincible.
As for Mahayana and Tribulation, they really can’t be defeated.
After all, Xu Ke has only attained the Tao, not attained enlightenment, and does not hold the authority of Taichu. Compared with the "I am the Tao" of Mahayana monks, there is still a big gap.
——
Dayu Immortal Dynasty, Yujing Imperial City.
The Holy Emperor Dayu, who was sitting on the dragon chair, blew his beard and glared again.
"The way of heaven is changing again? What's going on?"
Holy Emperor Dayu frowned and waved his hand again to spread the hexagram.
Then...the hexagram failed.
"Is it you again? Is it that guy who 'jumps out of the three realms and is not in the five elements' again?"
"Are you provoking me? The rat hiding in the hole still dares to provoke me? You are seeking death!"
A cold light burst out from his eyes, and Holy Emperor Dayu closed his eyes again, continued to practice, and continued to refine the power of chaos.
——
Xu Ke returned to perfection and after completing his practice, he began to prepare to upgrade several incarnations.
The avatar upgrade is very simple to operate.
With a thought, Xu Ke conveyed to the four incarnations his spiritual enlightenment, which had been enhanced a hundred times after being blessed a hundred times.
"Hunyuanzi, it starts with you."
After giving the order, Hun Yuanzi immediately sat cross-legged on the ground in the Bishuitan Cave Mansion, receiving the experience of returning to the void from Xu Ke.
When Gouzi became enlightened, Xu Ke achieved hundreds of times the harvest countless times.
After this personal experience, I gained another hundredfold. Xu Ke's practice of returning to the void and his understanding of the rules of the great road have reached the ultimate level.
Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, light, darkness, time and space, all the rules of the twelve avenues, up and down, front and back, inside and out, were all clearly seen by Xu Ke and made clear.
Therefore, Hunyuanzi accepted this experience and insights, and his understanding of the avenue also reached Xu Ke's level.
After receiving the experience and insights, Hunyuanzi immediately began to realize the Tao.
Just a thought, and the avenue responds.
This time, all the rules of the avenue were revealed.
Xu Ke's heart moved, and he quickly turned his attention to Hunyuanzi to observe the rules of the avenues that were not among the twelve avenues.
At this time, Xu Ke already understood the reason why the origin of heaven and earth showed all the rules of the great road.
Because... Taichu is the source of the great avenue!
All the order of heaven and earth, and all the rules of the great road, are derived from the beginning.
Therefore, the "coquettish bitch" that Xu Ke originally dismissed was actually derived from Taichu.
One way leads to ten thousand ways, one method leads to ten thousand ways.
Cause and effect, destiny, life and death, reincarnation... are also in the Great Way of Taichu.
It's just that... because the skills Xu Ke practiced had little to do with these great avenues, it was difficult to understand them for a while.
Even if you get a hundred times the harvest once, you still only have a superficial understanding of it.
From here, Xu Ke was also inspired.
After becoming an immortal, the path to practice the Taichu Dao is to complete all the rules of the Taichu Dao until you truly become "Taichu".
When the time comes, Xu Ke will be able to "open the sky with just one thought" and create a world alive.
Of course, that’s a story for another day.
Now, let’s upgrade the four major incarnations, understand some of the basics, and lay the foundation for future practice.
Hunyuanzi's upgrade was very smooth. After just one day, he successfully attained the Tao. The soul was successfully branded in the void and returned to the void.
When Hunyuanzi's Yuanshen imprinted Taichu Avenue, Xu Ke discovered that Hunyuanzi's Yuanshen imprint and Xu Ke's Yuanshen imprint on Taichu Avenue were actually fused together.
This is normal, after all, it is an incarnation.
In essence, the four incarnations cannot be regarded as separate beings, but can be regarded as part of Xu Ke.
The four major incarnations were promoted and returned to the void, which was equivalent to Xu Ke returning to the void four times.
On the first day, Hunyuanzi was promoted and returned to virtual reality.
The next day, Gui Yuanzi was promoted to Huixu.
On the third day, the divine machine was upgraded and promoted back to virtual reality.
On the fourth day, Daojun Dayan was promoted and returned to virtual reality.
After returning to the void four times in a row, Xu Ke also took the opportunity to peek into the avenue, trying to understand other rules of the avenue besides "gold, wood, water, fire, earth, ice, wind, thunder, light, dark time and space".
Thanks to the "Taiyi Lianshan Sutra", Xu Ke had a slight understanding of the "Way of Destiny".
Thanks to the "Yunzhong Dao Sutra", Xu Ke had a slight understanding of the "Tao of Movement and Stillness".
Thanks to the "Peach Blossom Immortal Sutra", Xu Ke had a slight understanding of the "Way of Life".
Others... are just some general talk.
It seems that the way to practice in the future is to widely collect various exercises to understand the rules of the avenues other than the twelve basic avenues, so as to complete the avenues and finally achieve Taichu.
After becoming an immortal, I'm afraid I'll have to be busy.
Xu Ke smiled, why consider such a long term? If you don’t kill Holy Emperor Dayu, you won’t even be able to become an immortal! ——
Xu Ke was talking about the Holy Emperor Dayu, and the Holy Emperor Dayu was also talking about Xu Ke.
"You bastard! This is unreasonable!"
Holy Emperor Dayu was furious.
For six consecutive days, the Heavenly Dao was causing turbulence every day. Every time it was calculated, it was "out of the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements."
Provoking once is not enough, provoking six times in a row?
Are you walking me like a dog? Do you really think that there is nothing I can do about you if you hide in a mouse hole?
"Xu Fu!"
"I'm here!"
The middle-aged scribe under Eguan Bo once again stepped into the hall and prostrated himself before Holy Emperor Dayu.
"You will be in charge of surveying the world and determining the affairs of the four seas. Hanlin Academy and Taiyuan Academy will fully cooperate."
The Holy Emperor of Dayu was very annoyed and offended by Xu Ke's repeated provocations, and was ready to further speed up the survey of the world and find the "rat hole" as soon as possible.
"My lord, take the order!"
Xu Fu, a bachelor, bowed his head and accepted the order, resigned and left.
——
Gouzi returned to the void, Xu Ke returned to the void, and the four incarnations returned to the void. For six consecutive days, they caused changes in the way of heaven every day.
Holy Emperor Dayu felt provoked, but Xu Ke never thought about provocation at all.
Who has time to provoke you? Don't take yourself too seriously.
But...the consequences have already appeared.
Licheng Academy.
Du Mingyuan's face was dull.
The Holy Emperor of Dayu ordered that Xu Fu, the great scholar, presided over it, and numerous bachelors from Taiyuan University and Hanlin Academy participated in the operation to fully launch the "survey of the world".
The "surveying the world" that originally took decades to complete was shortened to just a few years under this strong push.
In less than ten years, the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty's survey of the world will be completely completed, and all the hidden caves will be found.
Now... we're in big trouble.
Once the hidden cave is discovered, the consequences will be disastrous.
The cave and sky have been bulldozed, where is the main body hidden?
If the true body is exposed to the eyes of Holy Emperor Dayu, it will be a dead end.
No, hurry up and discuss it with the sect leader.
Du Mingyuan left in a hurry, preparing to discuss with the leader of the Weishi Sect how to deal with the current situation.
Daojun Dayan also learned the news and quickly reported it to Xu Ke.
"The intensity of surveying the world has been greatly intensified? Within ten years, all the hidden caves will be found?"
Xu Ke frowned tightly. (End of chapter)
