Mythological Revival: I Can Enter the Apocalyptic Wilderness

Chapter 186 The true solution to innate infinity
"Classmate Chen, do you want to join my Taoist sect?"

At the Taoist inheritance office, the old Taoist with immortal style looked at Chen Jin with bright eyes, a proud look on his face, and he stroked his long beard and said: "Okay, I know that you have good taste, little friend, and you won't do anything like this." the wrong decision making!"

"Our Taoist sect has a long history and is the national religion of China. How can it be compared to other sects?"

"Old Taoist and little friend, you are from this family, and your name is Chen Mingxuan."

"Senior Chen." Chen Jin saluted respectfully.

Chen Mingxuan nodded and motioned for Chen Jin to follow him.

Just like when he accepted the Buddhist inheritance, Chen Mingxuan also took him to the inheritance room, where there were more than a dozen booklets with introductions and partial previews of each technique.

"I wonder if my little friend wants to practice Yang Shen or inner alchemy?" Chen Mingxuan asked.

Chen Jin had already made preparations: "Back to the seniors, the juniors want to build the Yangshen Avenue."

Chen Mingxuan nodded and said: "Your soul is so powerful that Xiu Yang Shen is indeed the perfect person for you."

"But as usual, I will remind every student who wants to cultivate Yang Shen that although the Yang Shen method is infinitely mysterious, the cultivation process is extremely difficult, and because it is based on the soul, it will be affected by the intrusion of inner demons and many other things. Have you thought about the danger?"

Chen Jin cupped his fists and said, "Back to senior, junior has made up his mind."

Chen Jin had already understood what Chen Mingxuan said. In fact, not only the Yangshen lineage, but also any lineage of inheritance has dangers. The path of cultivation is not a smooth road, but a dark path full of thorns and dangers.

Chen Jin's powerful soul gave him the confidence to practice Yang Shen.

Seeing how determined he was, Chen Mingxuan said nothing more and began to show him various techniques.

"This "Yi Qi Xuan Qing Secret Record" is a technique practiced by me. It emphasizes the impermanence of Taoism. Let nature take its course. If you practice to the depths, all Taoism and magical powers will naturally arise. You can control the five elements of heaven and earth. It is extremely wonderful. "

"Don't like it? I understand, young people like powerful exercises. Then take a look at this "Guanqing Demon Subduing Technique". It is said to be a cultivation method handed down from the mythical Emperor Zhenwu. It is specialized in various types of exercises. Demons and monsters, among which the magical power attacks fiercely, there are few opponents at the same level."

"There is also this "Tai Shang Forgetting Love Skill", which is also a very wonderful skill."

Chen Mingxuan introduced many techniques to Chen Jin, all of which were of the highest quality. If any one of them were leaked out, the outside world would go crazy. Only in the Qianlong Project built by this country at all costs, were they chosen like cabbage. .

Fifty years ago, these secret books were enough to cause a bloody storm. Each of them was written by countless ancestors who risked their lives to enter the spiritual realm.

However, Chen Jin was still a little dissatisfied.

After making up his mind to practice spiritual and physical cultivation in the past few days, he carefully studied the inheritance of "Vajra Body of the Great Sun Tathagata" that he had received in the ancient times.

Although they are completely different cultivation paths and sects, they still have similarities, and his horizons have been broadened a lot.

The secret book Chen Mingxuan showed him was very good, even better than the "Da Ri Cun Idea" he had seen at the Buddhist Heritage Office before, but it still seemed too "thin".

Yes, "thin", this is how Chen Jin feels about these exercises. It seems that the practice at each stage is not perfect and has flaws.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Jin discovered a question: "Senior Chen, how come these exercises come from the prosperous Tang Dynasty?"

"What happened to the prosperous Tang Dynasty? The prosperous Tang Dynasty was a prosperous time for cultivating Taoism!" Chen Mingxuan frowned, "Although it is the age of the end of the Dharma, these exercises are all at the level of ancient magical powers, which is one level higher than that of hundreds of schools of thought. class!"

"In fact, the prosperous Tang Dynasty was the pinnacle of the development of Taoism. Until the Song Dynasty, there were extraordinary figures such as Zhang Sanfeng and Yuan Tiangang. This shows the great influence of the peak of the Tang Dynasty."

"Not to mention the blending of Buddhism and Taoism in that era. The practitioners of both schools greatly broadened their horizons from the other side."

"These exercises are the crystallization of the wisdom of the most outstanding geniuses of that era. They are enough for you to practice to a very high level."

Chen Mingxuan's tone was a little dissatisfied, apparently feeling that Chen Jin underestimated the difficulty of Taoist inheritance.

In his opinion, Chen Jin is amazing as a perfect foundation builder, but looking at the long history of martial arts, he has only just started, and it is not a good thing to start to set his sights higher than his goals.

Chen Jin naturally noticed what this senior was thinking, and quickly said with a smile: "This junior does not mean to look down on the predecessors at all, but he is just wondering that Taoism originated from Lao Tzu, so where did the skills passed down by Lao Tzu go?"

After hearing Chen Jin's explanation, Chen Mingxuan's face looked much better, but soon a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, as if he was thinking about how to explain to Chen Jin.

After pondering for a moment, Chen Mingxuan asked: "Do you know what level of cultivation I achieved back then?"

Chen Jin shook his head.

Lao Tzu is extremely mysterious. Even among the miracles unearthed from the era of various schools of thought, there are few records about this person, and his birth and death years are unknown.

There are very few traces of it left in the world, nothing more than a copy of the Tao Te Ching, but many famous figures are considered to be Laozi's disciples, or at least admit to being taught by Laozi.

Moreover, he does not participate in the battles between countries at all, does not seek fame or money, and has almost no worldly desires, which makes him even more aloof.

There is another very mysterious place, that is, according to historical data, Taoism was founded by Zhang Daoling at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty. The reason for its founding at that time was "because the emperor taught him the way to rectify the power of the alliance or the three-day rectification of the dharma and the rectification of the science." "Tao Fawen", to put it simply, it means that Taishang Laojun, also known as Laozi, found him and asked him to establish Taoism in the world.

Before the spiritual energy was revived, everyone dismissed it. Isn't this a common method used by the ancients to deceive fools?What is the difference between "Da Chu Xing Chen Sheng King"?
But after the spiritual energy recovered, everyone started to murmur.

What if this guy was telling the truth?
After all, according to the newly unearthed spiritual traces, Zhang Daoling, the founder of Taoism, finally became an immortal and took his wife to who knows where.

If such a figure did not lie, then I would be awesome, not because he could live so long, but because I am almost the only person in Chinese history who appeared in later generations as a god across dynasties.

The most important mysterious thing is not just this one. For example, in the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yu Jide, a god, taught the "Taiping Jing". This book is a Taoist classic, but it is unknown who the god taught him.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, Chen Tuan found 24 ancient pictures inherited from ancient times in a cave. Each of them was extremely magical. The famous "Wuji Picture" came from here.

How could these treasures be dug out of the cave so casually?Therefore, historians speculate that these opportunities are related to Laozi.

Facing Chen Jin's puzzled look, Chen Mingxuan spoke: "No one knows how far I have cultivated, but what is certain is that I have definitely surpassed the strongest person in our era."

"There are rumors that when I left Hangu Pass in the west, it was not actually a certain pass in the geographical sense, but that I arrived in another world!"

Chen Mingxuan's words made Chen Jin stunned for a moment. He thought that Lin Hongyue had told him before that the ancients might have come into contact with other civilizations.

Chen Mingxuan continued: "When Lao Tzu returned from that world, Taoism came into being. Historians speculated that he might have come into contact with something in another world. Another theory is that Lao Tzu discovered the secrets of the ancient times and obtained Got Huang Di’s opportunity.”

"Of course there are more outrageous theories. For example, Lao Tzu actually existed much earlier than the Spring and Autumn Period, and the old official Zhou Ran was just an incarnation of him." "But in short, the result is that although Lao Tzu has inherited the skills, but These skills require too much talent."

"We speculate that the framework of Lao Tzu's exercises may have been disconnected from the current civilization. This makes Lao Tzu's exercises extremely obscure and difficult to understand, and no one can practice them at all. This is why later generations have these simplified versions. This is also a helpless compromise. .”

"That's it." Chen Jin nodded with some disappointment.

Xu Shi saw that he was a little unwilling, Chen Mingxuan continued: "In fact, there are many people who want to use modern scientific methods to deconstruct and study the inheritance left by Lao Tzu. For example, three years ago, the reserve force of the Qianlong Project ranked first, and they were very proud. I proudly want to challenge this method.”

"I didn't persuade him at the time. Now three years have passed, but he hasn't even touched the edge of the magical realm. This matter is often used by warriors from other sects to make fun of me. I am also quite sorry for this, and the delay was in vain. I found a young man with extraordinary talent, so I simply didn’t introduce that skill this year.”

Chen Jin didn't expect such a thing to happen. After lowering his head and thinking for a while, he still asked: "Senior, can you let me take a look?"

Seeing that he still refused to give up, Chen Mingxuan had no choice but to take out that skill.

Chen Jin lowered his head and glanced, and the six characters "The True Explanation of Innate Infinity" came into view.

Chen Jin opened it and glanced at it for a few times. Suddenly his eyelids twitched, but he calmly put the book back and asked, "Senior, can I see the complete inheritance?"

"This has to wait until you are sure to accept the inheritance." Chen Mingxuan took a deep look at Chen Jin and advised him earnestly again: "My little friend, if you practice other exercises, you will have the help of the guidance chart drawn by your senior. There are very few people who practice this technique, and even those who have entered the realm of supernatural powers, naturally they don’t get these benefits.”

But Chen Jin still solemnly said: "I wonder if the seniors can be accommodating. The juniors want to see the complete inheritance. If it is not possible, the juniors will choose this inheritance."

Looking at the expression on Chen Jin's face, Chen Mingxuan sighed in his heart.

It’s over.

Three years ago, the genius known as "once-in-a-century" had the same expression after seeing the skills I left behind.

That is the absolute confidence in one's own talent. Geniuses who have never suffered setbacks are like this. They always overestimate themselves. Little do they know that no matter how outstanding their talent is, looking at the entire history of China, it is just an inconspicuous one among the bright stars.

But Chen Mingxuan also knew that such a genius could not be persuaded.

Thinking of this, he felt a chill in his heart.

"Damn it, what would they say to those guys if they knew I had led the Perfect Foundation into a trap!"

"I originally wanted to point my finger at this guy to wash away my nickname of 'Chen Wrong Man'."

Chen Mingxuan waved his hand in frustration and said, "No need, you can watch it if you want."

He took Chen Jin to a well-kept underground and took out a jade slip from there.

"Just sink your mind into it."

Chen Jin did as he was told. As his mind sank in, a familiar feeling came over him. This feeling was exactly the same as when he received the inheritance in the Buddhist Vajra body!
Suddenly his eyes blurred, and his spirit was transported to another world.

Chen Jin felt like he was stepping on clouds, and a vast and simple pattern unfolded before his eyes.

This is a Tai Chi Bagua diagram, with the flowing Yin and Yang Pisces in the middle and the open innate Bagua on the outside.

However, the pictures in the jade slips are not like the dead objects that Chen Jin has seen before, but are constantly rotating like a living planet. With the flow of Pisces, the yin and yang energy flows into the Bagua, and different hexagrams are generated. There are different changes. In some hexagrams, the yin and yang qi turn into birds and fish, while in other hexagrams, the sky-burning sea of ​​fire rises.

Countless hexagrams changed and rotated, and in a trance, Chen Jin seemed to feel the cycle of life and death. The rotating hexagrams seemed to include the heaven and earth, the universe, and all the mysteries of space, time, life, and death.

He just stared blankly at the pattern in front of him, completely immersed in it, forgetting everything.

I don’t know how long it took, but the pattern in front of me suddenly disappeared like a mirror, like a blurry dream that began to break. Everything was twisted and merged together, and finally turned into nothingness.

It was just a dumbfounding technique. Chen Jin had returned to the real world. Chen Mingxuan was standing in front of him, looking at him with a complicated expression.

Chen Jin composed himself and said reluctantly: "Senior, can I take a look again?"

Hearing this, Chen Mingxuan rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Do you know, you have actually been watching it all day."

"what?"

Chen Jin was shocked. He felt that only a few minutes had passed. How could it be a whole day?
At this time, he realized belatedly that his body was indeed different. There was a signal of hunger in his belly, and his mind was groggy, as if he had played games all night.

Chen Mingxuan said: "Watching this inheritance consumes a lot of the mind. Everyone who sees this picture will feel that they have gained a lot, as if they have sensed the mysteries of heaven and earth, but if you really want to ask them what they have learned, they have no idea. People can tell.”

"And the corresponding annotations are only from the obscure "Tao Te Ching". The miraculous version of "Tao Te Ching" has a lot more content about extraordinary power, but it still cannot be called a complete cultivation method. The so-called "True Explanation of Innate Infinity" is nothing more than the insights summarized by countless predecessors after viewing this picture."

"Who knows whether these insights are right or wrong?"

"So, are you sure you still want to practice this method?"

Chen Mingxuan looked at Chen Jin with an expression of hope.

However, what he met was Chen Jin's firm gaze.

"Senior Chen, I have decided that I will practice the "True Understanding of Innate Infinity"!"

After the words fell, Chen Mingxuan's heart felt completely cold.

"Oh, my title of 'Chen Churen' will be welded to my forehead!"

Looking at Chen Jin with extremely helpless eyes, Chen Mingxuan said bitterly: "Come with me through the process."

After all, he left without looking back.

Chen Jin touched his head in embarrassment. Naturally, he could vaguely guess what Chen Mingxuan was thinking, but he did not make this decision based on wishful thinking.

Just because after he woke up from the hallucination after looking at the huge Tai Chi Bagua picture, a clear voice sounded in his head.

[Taoist inheritance "The True Interpretation of Innate Infinity" has been included]
