After solving the problem of the Merman Kingdom, Xu Ke focused on his cultivation.
The leader of the Weishi Sect is trying every means to find the true identity of the great scholar Xu Fu. His plan to "save his father" is being actively promoted, which is not inconsistent with Xu Ke's goal.
If he really finds an opportunity, Xu Ke will naturally help him.
As for now... of course, cultivation is still the main thing.
If you don't work hard to improve your strength, no matter how good the plan is, it will be a castle in the air. Only with a strong enough fist can one stand firm under the pressure of Holy Emperor Dayu.
The practice after returning to the void is "integration".
The so-called "integration" means that the Dao merges with itself, using its own soul and law to carry the Dao and create the body of the Dao.
In the spiritual practice world, when describing someone with extremely high talents, they often say that he is a "Taoist body". In fact, this is an exaggeration.
The true "Tao body" must be the combination of the Tao with itself, in order to create the body of the Tao.
During this period of time, Xu Ke obtained the Five Directions and Five Emperors method provided by the Consciousness Wei Sect Master, and also verified the combined chapter of the "Hunyuan Yiqi Sutra" he practiced many times, and it was confirmed that there was no problem with the method.
It's just that...the combined chapter of the Hunyuan Yiqi Sutra is different from other techniques.
When practitioners reach the stage of integration, due to different techniques and spiritual root talents, the rules of the great path required for "integration" are also different.
Normal practitioners generally only follow one avenue.
It is very rare for the methods of the Five Directions and Five Emperors to combine with the Five Elements.
Xu Ke's Hunyuan Yiqi Sutra is even more complicated. During the integration period, the principles of the twelve great avenues must be integrated.
Therefore, in the practice of integration, this "method of integration" is very crucial.
The five directions and five emperors create the heaven, and the method of integration is the "Five Qi Chao Yuan Method". The Five Elements Avenue is integrated into the five internal organs of the Yuan Shen Dharma, turning into the "Five Qi in the chest."
This method should be derived from the methods of Taoist classical Qi practitioners.
Xu Ke's "Combined Chapter" of Hunyuan Yiqi Zhenjing adopts the true Taoist method. According to the "Huangting Sutra", the method of "Twenty-four Gods in the Huangting Interior" is used to create the body of the great road.
Once upon a time, the "Yellow Turban Bodybuilding Technique" practiced by Xu Ke was derived from the "Huang Ting Jing".
Now, using Huang Ting's method to create the body of Dao and complete the practice of the combined state, it can be regarded as returning to nature.
Perhaps... the "Huang Ting Sutra" created by senior masters really talks about the cultivation of the realm of integration.
After reviewing the combined chapter of the Hunyuan Yiqi Sutra from beginning to end, Xu Ke once again confirmed that there would be no problems with this practice method.
But... for the sake of safety, the dog still has to work hard.
With a thought, Xu Ke activated the formation in Yunzhongjun Cave Mansion, opened the teleportation gate, and connected to the Bishui Pond.
"Gouzi, come here."
After giving the order, Gouzi immediately passed through the portal and arrived at Cangmingyuan Cave.
"Woof woof!"
A big black dog with smooth fur emerged from the portal, wagging its tail and circling around Xu Ke.
"Aren't you already able to change a lot? Why are you still like this?"
Xu Ke looked at the big black dog in front of him, dumbfounded.
"hey-hey!"
Gouzi grinned, "It's because I can change so much that I have to keep my original shape! Otherwise, it's easy to lose myself and not be able to tell what I am."
"Okay, as long as you're happy."
Xu Ke shook his head and said that losing himself was all nonsense.
If you like being a dog, just keep being a dog! This can be regarded as a turning over and never forgetting the roots.
"By the way, Gouzi, have you discovered anything about your origins?"
Xu Ke was still a little curious about Gouzi's background.
Yun Zhongjun said that Gouzi also had another origin, and it should be a chess piece buried by a certain boss in the "upper world".
"No!"
Gouzi shook his head, "There is no message in the consciousness of the true spirit, nor is there any interference from the upper world."
Having said this, Gouzi turned to look at Xu Ke, "Master, I shouldn't be the incarnation of someone in the upper world, right? If I am the incarnation... I don't want to lose my sense of self."
"Then you have to practice seriously."
Xu Ke smiled and said, "You have practiced the Hunyuan Demon Technique. As long as you become a Taoist, you will have your own foundation, and it is the foundation from Taichu Dao. No one else can take it away."
"Um!"
Gouzi nodded, "In the future, I will practice seriously."
"It doesn't have to happen later, it's now."
Xu Ke waved to Gouzi, "Come on, turn into a human body, and now I will teach you the integration chapter of the Hunyuan Demonic Technique."
"yes!"
Gouzi quickly nodded in agreement, and with a flash of inspiration, he turned into a human again.
"Xu Mo", who was wearing a black robe and looked very similar to Xu Ke, appeared in front of Xu Ke.
Xu Ke nodded and waved his hand to activate the cave formation, transforming the divine light of Taibei into Hunyuan demon energy, filling the practice quiet room.
"Now, I'll teach you how to combine."
As soon as the thought came to mind, Xu Ke passed on the method of combining the Hunyuan Yiqi Sutra to Gouzi through the Heart Seal Channeling Technique.
The method that Gouzi practices is just the method of demon body cultivation in the Hunyuan Yiqi Sutra, which is considered one of the three ways and nine methods.
However, in the practice of the integration period, it is still in the same line as the integration method of the Hunyuan Yiqi Sutra, and there is no essential difference.
After the skills of the Fusion Stage were passed on to Gouzi, Xu Ke also passed on his understanding of the Combination Stage to Gouzi, saving him the time to re-study the skills.
Gouzi closed his eyes tightly and sat cross-legged on the ground, with the exercises in the Combination Chapter and Xu Ke's understanding of the exercises flowing in his mind.
In just a moment, Gouzi took it all in.
Gouzi already has a complete understanding of the combined practice of Hunyuan Demon Technique.
"Master, I'm ready."
Gouzi opened his eyes and nodded to Xu Ke.
"Great! Let's get started!"
Xu Ke waved his hand, and the Hunyuan demon energy churning in the quiet room poured into Gouzi's body.
At the same time, Xu Ke used the "other mind" magical power of "He Speaks Freely with Heavenly Demon Dafa" to access Gou Zi's soul consciousness, and experienced Gou Zi's practice process empathetically.
Gouzi ran the technique, followed the steps of practice, and began to melt the rules of the great road into his body.
With a flicker of his body, Gouzi's body instantly turned into nothingness and turned into an information form, activating the avenue of heaven and earth and integrating with the rules of the avenue.
The first step in building a great body is to lay down the foundation of the Five Elements.
The order of the five elements doesn't matter, it just depends on everyone's preference.
Among the five elements of the dog, the first one that appears is the "gold" attribute.
The information state of the soul that turned into nothingness flashed a cold and sharp white light.
Immediately, metal generates water, water generates wood, wood generates fire, and fire generates earth.
After the white light, there is black light, then cyan light, red light, and yellow light.
After the five elements attributes were manifested, various attributes such as ice, wind, thunder, light, darkness, time, and space were derived.
At this point, the twelve attributes of the Dao rules have been completely integrated into the primordial spirit.
It's not difficult!
Any monk who has achieved great success in returning to the void can smoothly integrate into the rules of the avenue. After all, the mark of the soul is imprinted on the avenue.
This is equivalent to opening a login interface, and you can "download" information at any time.
Connecting to the rules of the great road only completes the foundation of practice. The following is the most critical link.
The body of the Dao is forged with the rules of the Dao, so that the practitioner's spiritual dharma becomes a "vessel carrying the Dao" and the body of the rules of the Dao.
This cannot be done casually.
If there is not enough foundation, it will not be able to carry the rules of the avenue, and it will be burst.
Moreover, in order to create the body of the Great Dao, the rules of the Great Dao must be engraved in the dharma of the Yuanshen, so that the dharma of the Yuanshen can be "reborn" and sublimated in essence.
As practitioners practice all the way, they are laying the foundation for the dharma of the soul.
However, this kind of foundation laid in the early stage is far behind the rules of the avenue.
The practice in the integration stage is equivalent to turning dirt and rubble into gold, jewels and jade.
Fortunately, Gouzi's original realm was very high, at least Mahayana, and he had even reached the level of transcending tribulation, which was not much different from the Holy Emperor Dayu.
Now, after accepting the rules of the Tao into his body and smelting the principles of the Tao, he is not worried about being unable to withstand this rapid transformation.
Because... Gouzi has already gone through this process.
The rules of the road continue to spread in the dog's body, like capillaries, penetrating every part of the dog's body.
The illusory information state of the soul gradually "grows" the body structure in the shining light.
Skeleton, muscles, tendons, skin, hair, internal organs, blood...
Soon after, Gouzi showed his true form again.
He turned into a black dog again.
Xu Ke frowned slightly. Isn't this right? I deliberately let Gouzi practice the method of integration in human form. Why did Gouzi become his original form again?
Is this "information interference" brought about by some high-level force?
As far as I know, there is only one black dog with this "high-level" personality, and that is...
Jiuyou Yaobo!
Good guy! Oh it's you!
The corners of Xu Ke's mouth twitched violently several times.
Jiuyou Yaobo is really destined to me, but I have never been involved in it.
Didn’t I just treat you like a dog for a few walks? Is there any need to be so unforgiving? So stingy!
Huh? etc!
According to Yun Zhongjun, Gouzi was reincarnated in this world a long time ago.
If he is really the incarnation of Jiuyou Yaobo, I have offended him several times by treating Jiuyou Yaobo as a dog for a walk. Why didn't he let the dog come to trouble me?
It’s not like Jiuyou Yao Bo has forgotten that he still has another incarnation in this world, right?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
How could he forget his own incarnation?
Could it be that the origin of Gouzi has nothing to do with Uncle Jiuyou Yao?
Forget it, forget it.
No matter where he comes from or who he is, he is my dog now!
After practicing the Hunyuan Demonic Technique and reshaping his foundation with the Tao of the Beginning, the most fundamental essence of life has nothing to do with his original origin.
No one can take my dog away!
——
When Xu Ke was taking Gouzi to practice and verify the method of combining the Hunyuan Qi Sutra, the outside world was not peaceful.
The Great Yu Immortal Dynasty sent out a large army to conquer the world and pacify the four seas. The mighty army and the overwhelming flying boats and warships set out from the Great Yu Immortal Dynasty and swept across the four directions.
Thanks to the move of Annan Hou into Lingnan, southern Xinjiang and the vast plains were not affected.
The only trouble is that Southern Xinjiang and Cangmang Plain will become the direct territory of Annan Hou in the future.
If that doesn't work, we can only explain to Annan Hou Yupan that Southern Xinjiang and Cangmang Plains are the territory of our ally "Pangu Taoist", and it is best for everyone to live in peace.
For the time being, Southern Xinjiang and Cangmang Plain were still "protected" by An Nanhou and were not attacked by Dayu's army.
Other places are even worse.
The direction of Dayu's army's conquests was mainly concentrated on overseas territories.
The first ones to be affected are the overseas islands.
Under the sweep of Dayu's army, the overseas cultivation world was filled with mourning.
The overseas cultivation world is relatively "low-end". The strongest monks in most areas are only at the Nascent Soul stage, and there are only a handful of individual Yin Shen monks.
Sweeping by Dayu's army, there was no resistance at all.
Anyone who did not surrender immediately was killed on the spot, and even those very few Yin Shen monks could not escape at all.
In less than half a year, all the islands in the offshore area were pacified by Dayu's army.
Either surrender and shout "Long live the Holy Emperor". Or even the island was sunk and turned into ashes.
Such tough and iron-blooded methods are shocking.
At least the Peach Blossom Demon Saint was frightened three times a day and was restless.
Cuiyun Island, not far from her cave, which had always had trade relations with Cangmang Yuan, was sunk under the nose of the Peach Blossom Demon Sage.
The reason for being sunk was simply because they wanted to negotiate the terms of surrender.
condition? Letting you kneel down and shout "Long live the Holy Emperor" is the greatest gift. How dare you put forward conditions?
The fleet fired a single salvo, and Cuiyun Island was gone.
The violent shock wave shook the Peach Blossom Palace hidden in the cave sky.
The Peach Blossom Demon Saint sent Xu Ke several summonses in succession, fearing that his lair would be discovered and blown to pieces with a single volley.
Xu Ke tried to persuade him for a long time before he calmed down the panicked Peach Blossom Demon Saint.
"The Great Yu Immortal Dynasty's conquest of the world will only bring chaos!"
Xu Ke frowned, "Doesn't the Holy Emperor Dayu need the power of order to balance chaos? Why start a war?"
"Could it be that he has advanced one step further in refining the power of chaos and no longer needs so much power of order?"
This made Xu Ke feel even more urgent.
Time waits for no one! Once Holy Emperor Dayu succeeds in attaining enlightenment, he will have no choice but to run away.
There is also a problem if you run away.
Who knows what kind of world is on the other side of the Dragon Clan's escape tunnel?
According to normal speculation, the opposite side of the dragon clan's escape channel must be a world controlled by a dragon clan.
In that world, what is the status of the human race? Is it the dragon's servants, slaves, or food?
Even...are there humans in that world?
We must prepare early.
Once you really have no choice but to run away, you must first explore what is going on in the world on the other side. (End of chapter)
