The mortal's candle dragon opens the sky

Xuyang listened and nodded slightly, but his eyes gradually revealed a puzzled look, and he felt even more strange.

The first look in the mirror (True Immortal Stage) is to refine the physical body and transform it into an immortal body.

In the Soul Forging Realm (Golden Immortal Stage), golden lotus seeds are nurtured in the Crimson Palace, and the soul and lotus seeds merge, and finally the physical body, the spirit, and the immortal power are no longer distinguishable from each other.

In the Hunyi state (Taiyi period), the three elements of Qi, form and substance have intercourse and achieve the Hunyi True Pivot.

Before reaching the final state of Tongxuan (Daluo), the Karma Fire Devouring Heart Tribulation sounds mysterious. It seems to be about cutting out the heart and rebuilding the body? Is this how to get rid of karma?
But it sounds like a step-by-step, gradual and correct approach! In the end, the essence, energy and spirit are truly united and inseparable, and the qi, form and substance copulate and merge. With such a solid foundation to strengthen the essence, energy and spirit, how can it be defeated by those Daluo Daozu who can't even keep their own three corpse gods under control?
Xuyang dodged with his hands behind his back, and circled far away from a group of tens of thousands of feet in size, constantly twisting Guixu Sea Eye, thinking to himself: "Could it be that the effect of opening up many immortal orifices is far more powerful than I imagined? That's why the barbaric true spirit lineage, including the true dragon, gathered its strength to create the Xuanxian lineage to fight back, but in the end, judging from the results, it was obviously a failure."

Upon seeing this, Yuan Liucuo hurriedly moved closer to guard, and only felt relieved after crossing the chaotic dark hole that was constantly swallowing up sea water. He quickly caught up and introduced the celestial phenomenon in detail.

Under the dark blue dome, different types of Guixu Sea Eyes are often distributed, but most of them are extremely dangerous. They are bottomless abysses formed by the collision of space and the power of billions of miles of the sea.

Some of them carry the sea water gathered here and rush into the turbulence of the void, forming a floating river in the sky, rushing in the vastness until it crosses the boundless land and injects into another extremely distant Guixu Sea Eye. The distance may be several fairyland, or the two sea eyes may be in the same sea area. Some of them exist for billions of years, and some will suddenly disappear and come to an abrupt end.

Some simply traveled halfway through the turbulence of the void before suddenly collapsing and the river of heaven stopped flowing, while others simply led to dangerous places. Therefore, before reaching Daluo, most of the creatures in the True Immortal Realm kept their distance from them.

Only the Guixu Sea Eyes at the deepest part of the seabed that give birth to the Nine Netherworlds Weak Waters have the function of overcoming the calamity of karma and the heart-devouring fire. They are regarded by all races in the True Immortal Realm as the intersection of life and death cycles in the Heavenly Dao, the gateway to the Heavenly Dao, and a symbol of perfection and endless life.

Those creatures who failed to survive the 'Heart-devouring Calamity' by crossing the Nine Nether Weak Water in the depths of Guixu would be buried there. Therefore, after billions of years of evolution, this Guixu Sea Eye is also regarded by all living beings as the gateway to the underworld, the end of life and the destination of the soul. Therefore, this extremely rare Guixu Sea Eye is also called 'Taixu Daoque'!
There is a saying that if one's mind returns to the void, heaven and earth will have the same lifespan. The void refers to the vast and boundless universe.

All things in the world originate from Tao and will eventually return to Tao. This can be considered a kind of sky burial that represents the immortality of the soul and reincarnation.

There is also a Taoist scripture saying: There is a great abyss in the sea, which is actually a bottomless valley, and there is no bottom below it, which is called Guixu. There is the pivot of Taoism in the abyss, which is actually an infinite abyss, and there is no limit below it, which is called Taixu. The eight poles and nine heavens are the rules, and the flow of Taixu's mysterious Taoism all return to it, without loss or gain. It is the origin of the laws of all things, the source of the order of the heavens, the place where yin and yang meet, and the pivot of cause and effect reincarnation.

"It seems that when my strength increases, I will have to find a Taixu Daoque and swallow it into the Mother Qi Cave Heaven! Exposing myself to the calamity outside is not as safe as my own cave heaven. I just don't know whether the will of the Heaven in the True Immortal Realm will allow me to do this!"

Yuan Liucuo's words were mysterious and Xuyang listened with great interest. Combining them with the evolution process of his own Mother Qi Cave Heaven, which he had actively interrupted, he also gained some insights.

After a while, Kou Changqing and the others who were free falling in the sea were getting closer and closer, and were about to catch up with them. At this time, Xuyang sighed and said:

"I won't hide it from you. As far as I know, except for a few branches of my True Dragon Clan that rebelled and defected to the Heavenly Court, most of the others have probably completely perished and returned to the heaven and earth! This ancient barbaric method is so noble and upright, and I don't know why it was defeated by the Heavenly Court!"

Yuan Liucuo's face changed drastically. Although the Niejinghai lineage was banned from the inside and outside and had no news, they had been waiting for tens of millions of years but still could not get the rescue from the True Dragon Master. They had guessed this from generation to generation. They once had a glimmer of hope that the True Dragon Masters might be restraining their forces, temporarily avoiding the sharp edge, recuperating and hoping to fight again.

But it was still hard for him to accept the confirmation from Xuyang's mouth. He felt heavy-hearted and said in a low voice after a while:

"The deceased elders of this tribe once left behind a few words. Those dog immortal officials in the immortal palace often deliberately talked about this matter beside me in order to tease and humiliate me. In the past, I thought it was their strategy to win my heart. They wanted me to completely submit, break the previous barbaric blood contract, and be content to be a mount spirit beast that they could use at will."

"Oh? What are they saying? Originally, this fairyland was called the Great Big Dipper Fairyland. It was a complete and boundless vast continent. It was said that it was not even inferior to the 'Middle-earth Continent', the center of the True Fairyland today. The landmass was overturned and shattered by the last battle. It is now divided into eight small continents, but it is still ranked among the thirty-six major ones. This shows how glorious this fairyland was back then! So how did my ancestors of the same race lose?" Xuyang asked hurriedly.

"Those dog immortal officials in the Immortal Palace praised the Heavenly Court a lot, but belittled the True Spirit lineage. It would be better not to say anything, but according to the few words passed down by the elders in the clan, the final defeat of those True Dragon Dao Lords was really not the fault of war!"

Yuan Liucuo did not dare to criticize the former True Dragon Daoist Master, but since Xuyang asked, he dared not not speak. He first absolved himself of the blame for the failure of the war, and then followed the fragmented history that had been passed down, and continued to speak carefully:
“According to the speculation of my Qiulong clan ancestors, there are probably three reasons why the True Dragon Dao Masters failed. My Savage True Spirit lineage practices ancient methods and relies mostly on the power of nature. Although they also consume some Nine Heavens rare treasures and immortal herbs and elixirs, most of them do not know external ways such as elixirs and refining tools. The time it takes to condense immortal spirits and forge golden souls is in the hundreds of thousands or millions of years. They also rely on themselves to fight. Except for a few with extraordinary talents, most of them do not know the methods of the spiritual realm, so they practice slowly. Except for a few who possess Xuantian treasures, most of them have a single method of fighting.

The rapidly rising Nascent Soul camp, because of their inherent weakness, have an urgent motivation to study everything in the world. They use everything to make pills, refine weapons, and set up formations. They also create various techniques suitable for their own practice according to their respective races and familiar laws. Therefore, their practice progress and methods are far more diverse than our True Spirit lineage. In addition, these weak races number in the hundreds of millions, and the base number is really huge. Once they rise, they will be difficult to control!
In a very short period of time, they were distributed in various major fairyland of the True Immortal Realm. One side was lazy and content with the status quo, while the other side, under the pressure of survival, tried every means to gain advantages. As one side gained strength while the other side lost strength, they lay dormant and paid tribute. The True Spirit Dao masters were deceived for a while. Anyway, the True Immortal Realm was vast, and the two sides lived in peace. This was one reason.

The second is that the three greatest ancestors of all dragons have reached the end of their lifespans and returned to heaven and earth. The cultivators of the Nascent Soul stage have many elixirs and formations to help them, and they have separated the three corpses to cut off distracting thoughts, so they are able to merge with the Dao quickly and occupy the vacant Dao Ancestor positions before other True Spirit Dao Lords who have filled their positions!
Since then, the top combat power of our side began to weaken, so the offensive and defensive momentum reversed. These newly promoted Dao ancestors of the Yuanying lineage began to show their fangs and established the Heavenly Court to expand their sphere of influence, claiming to teach all people and make everyone like a dragon. The two sides began to fight over the major fairy realms. During this period, although the number of creatures in my Zhenling lineage was small, the top strength was still strong, but we lost a lot of territory and entered a stalemate stage.

What really tilted the balance of power between the two sides was that a Taoist who practiced the law of concealment sneaked into Zulong Mountain and stole a supreme Xuantian fairy weapon from my True Dragon lineage! It is said that this treasure is very helpful for practicing the major origin laws. Since then, the Daluo Taoist ancestors of the Heavenly Court have begun to appear. Since then, our True Spirit lineage has begun to gather its tribes and divided into more than a dozen large groups to retreat to the wilderness. Many True Dragon Taoist masters have also come to this fairyland and founded the Four Symbols Xingyuan Sect. Use the power of the stars in the sky to open up a thousand and eight mysterious orifices, and also practice the exercises in order to recuperate and plan a counterattack!
"Alas. What happened next, I know even without telling the Taoist master, but the elders in the clan know very little about it. We also don't know what the final result of the war was. We only know that the world was in chaos and the land and sea were overturned! Thanks to the mercy of the True Dragon Taoist masters, many dragon descendants took advantage of the war to retreat and keep their fire to hide in the wild sea, but who would have thought that they could not escape the pursuit of the heavenly court. I am ashamed, I thought I was abandoned here by the True Dragon Taoist masters, and I offended you before, Taoist master, please forgive me!"

The supreme immortal weapon? Could it be the Heavenly Vase?
Xuyang's heart moved, and he asked calmly: "It's okay! You Qiulong clan has maintained the Savage Blood Covenant until now. We are the ones who have let you down, and there is no need to forgive us! By the way, do you know the name of this supreme immortal weapon?" Upon hearing this, Yuan Liucuo hurriedly said respectfully: "Thank you, Taoist, for your understanding and forgiveness! I don't know the name of the immortal weapon, but I only remember the twelve-character mantra passed down by the elders of the clan, which is: Dao and weapon are combined, Guixu Taishi, Cangzhou Yuchen!"

"When the Tao and the instruments are combined, they return to the ancient times and hide the universe! Control the stars!" Xuyang murmured and repeated it in his mouth, and nodded secretly soon after.

That's right, although the name of Zhangtian did not appear in this twelve-word mantra, what other magic weapon dared to be called Zang Zhou Yuchen's, except for the Zhangtian Bottle?

No, there is also my Mother Qi Cave!
"The Dao instruments combine to form the Return to the Abyss of the Beginning!"

Xuyang's heart suddenly shook as he chewed on the first eight words carefully. Now, the two treasures were in Xuyang's hands. When it comes to the understanding of the mother energy of chaos, even the great Dao ancestors in the fairy world are far inferior to him. They may have never seen the mother energy of chaos at all!
Because this world has already been born and stabilized, it has long passed the five stages from the transition from "Wuji" to the birth of heaven and earth.

This is called the Five Innate Tais, which are Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu and Taiji!
In the beginning, everything was chaos.

During the Taiyi period, the heaven and earth were just a boundless and empty universe.

In the beginning, qi was first seen. It was formless and intangible, containing only the innate qi. It was a more primitive state of the universe than chaos.

Tai Shi is the immediate form, when Yin and Yang interact and mix into one. It has form but no substance, and is invisible to the senses. It is the original state of the universe before the creation of the world.

Tai Su is the beginning of quality. It is the cosmic state where the original matter begins to be born. In this process, all things in the heaven and earth begin to gradually take shape. It is at this stage that the many true spirits of heaven and earth in billions of small spiritual worlds begin to conceive budding embryos. The Golden Dragon King once told Xuyang about this.

Most of the real dragons like those on Dragon Island in Xiaonanzhou were born by heaven and earth. Heaven and earth are their parents. However, there are only two real dragons like Xuyang who have returned to their ancestors, or in other words, have defied heaven and changed their fate, traced their bloodlines, and condensed their own bodies into real dragons. Among the dozen or so real dragons on the entire Dragon Island, there are only him and Kong Mingzi, a miracle among miracles.

Those who have not reached their stage are all five-clawed dragons. Although they are regarded as lower-level true dragons in the lower realms because their strength far exceeds that of the same-level Mahayana, it is obvious that the True Immortal Realm does not recognize them, including the six-winged frost centipede of Han Lao Mo in later generations. Even if it has condensed the so-called "white dragon body", it is far from being a true top-level true spirit, otherwise it would not have been easily grasped by Ma Liang!
As for a six-horned dragon like Yuan Liucuo, even if it is in the same 'True Spirit Realm', the true dragon essence in its body is more than several times that of an ordinary five-clawed dragon or a 'white dragon body'?
But they have always claimed to be descendants of lower-level dragons. Even though they have been suppressed and imprisoned in the Sea of ​​Evil for tens of millions of years, generation after generation have willingly sacrificed to the Wilderness Blood Covenant, hoping that one day they will be accepted back by the True Dragon Lord.

It can be seen that the so-called true spirit body is not so easy to truly condense. One must be like 'Yu Qizi' and leave behind the Qilin origin after his death to have a chance to re-generate a Qilin true spirit. But Yu Qizi failed in the end, and the True Spirit Cave was occupied by the demon!

Or like Tianfeng, voluntarily divide the origin of space to Bingfeng, and Xuyang also divides the origin of Taiyin. Otherwise, Bingfeng can only be said to be a member of the Phoenix clan, and it is impossible for her to become a real colorful phoenix.

As for Tai Chi, the movement and stillness of Qi create Yin and Yang. The division of Yin and Yang becomes heaven and earth. It is the state of the universe when all things were created before Yin and Yang were divided.

"The first calamity, the beginning of movement, the Qi devouring!"

And Xuyang couldn't figure out for a moment what stage his Mother Qi Cave Heaven was in. According to the actual situation, the process of the infinite and asexual thunder that was born before and the creation of Yin and Yang was cut off by Xuyang, but the Mother Qi Cave Heaven could continuously condense and give birth to chaotic Yin and Yang Qi, and now it has condensed the "Immortal Pool".

It has successively swallowed up the Yin and Ming Land, the Sun of the Small Shura Realm, the Yin and Yang Jade Sceptre, and countless other tangible stars and manifestations of the laws of heaven and earth, and it has also accommodated hundreds of great laws. Although it is still far from the complete three thousand great ways, it is already a complete small world.

The so-called Daoqi Hecan, Guixu Taishi and Cangzhou Yuchen in the Zhantian Bottle are obviously in the state of the primitive universe before the creation of the world, otherwise they would not be confined to a small bottle!

But its power is far beyond that of Daozu. At least without the Heavenly Bottle, it is impossible for the Lord of the Samsara Hall to travel through time and space and go back tens of millions of years.

It is obvious that the status of the Lord of the Heavenly Bottle is almost on par with the Heavenly Dao, perhaps only half a step behind.

"Could it be that the bottle spirit didn't lie to me, that there is a vast universe outside the Immortal Realm, the Gray Realm and the myriad worlds, and that the Heaven-Holding Bottle is actually an incomplete universe with interrupted evolution?"

Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly heard a sound of liquid stirring in front of me.

Looking up, I saw a huge piece of blue ice lying quietly on the seabed ahead, emitting a dazzling brilliance that seemed to freeze the surrounding space and seawater within hundreds of miles. A dozen blurry figures were lying quietly in the depths of the blue ice. (End of this chapter)
