The author of the book "The Book of the Dead"

Chapter 184: Shenxiao Lei Mansion, Prince of Fuso.

Cultivate the truth and cultivate the truth, practice the false and cultivate the truth.

At the top of the white clouds, Liang Yue was thinking about the road ahead.

The early stages of a warrior are all summarized as the Qi Refining Stage.

This period is the stage of refining essence into qi, and the requirements for spiritual energy are relatively low.

"In the late stage of Qi Refining, one has a lifespan of 120 years."

Going further up, one's own internal force is further compressed and liquefied, integrating with one's own supernatural powers to form a special true essence.

This stage is called the foundation-building period.

"Or it can be transformed into true Qi."

In short, both plans do not necessarily require one to cultivate true Qi at the beginning of practice. One can first train one's own body and then combine the true Qi generated by the body. This will be much thicker than the true Qi that appears through meditation.

"According to this process, the life span of foundation building should be around 150 to 180 years."

Going further up is the Jindan stage where the true Qi is further condensed.

This is the initial entry into the way of inner alchemy, the stage of refining essence into qi.

The Yuanying and Huashen stages after the Jindan stage are the process of refining Qi and returning to the spirit.

"The best thing about this path is that it is not a description of the cultivation process of a single technique, but a division of the essence of life. It can be adapted to all paths, and it can also be applied mechanically."

Refining essence into Qi, refining Qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, refining emptiness into Tao.

This is the essence of all practice.

In the past, people in ancient times made rapid progress. Regardless of the fine realms, everyone had their own path, and could only be roughly divided into five types of immortals.

The strength of combat power is not divided by realm, but compared based on comprehensive "Taoism".

What Liang Yue needs to do is to subdivide the realm and create a consistent path.

"The current realm is Yin Shen Fa Xiang, referred to as Yin Shen, which should be equivalent to the Shen Hua stage."

The way of corpse reincarnation has its own realm, the realm of Yin Shen, where the soul can be transformed into a Dharma image, so it is also called Yin Shen Dharma image.

The Yin Spirit goes through tribulations once again, and its spirit begins to return to the world of the living and to possess a physical entity, rather than simply appearing in a physical form. This stage is called a "ghost immortal."

The ghost immortal begins to overcome the heavenly tribulation. There are four types of heavenly tribulation, and the last one is called thunder tribulation, so this stage is called the thunder tribulation ghost immortal.

After successfully passing through the thunder tribulation, one will become a Yang God.

"Yang Shen should be in the realm of immortals."

Liang Yue is summarizing his ideas.

He has great ambitions and does not think that he is much worse than the ancient gods.

There are some things that you cannot understand just by living long enough, and the corresponding knowledge cannot be generated without a certain environment.

Liang Yue calls himself a great master of the Dharma Ending Age. He knows much more about the way of inner alchemy, which is to seek within and create one's own world, than all the ancient immortals and gods.

The ancient immortals and gods probably could not have imagined that the spiritual energy that was everywhere would disappear, so naturally no one studied how to use it efficiently.

"The era of innate gods who value bloodlines and acquired cultivators who squander their essence is over."

Future practice will be more refined and professional.

It is not necessarily worse than ancient times.

Liang Yue slowly stood up and brushed off the dust on his body.

"After seven hundred years of wandering around, it's time to leave some real stuff behind."

Liang Yue looked towards Jian Lake.

The clear water surface reflects the face of a scholar with a face as white as jade, three long strands of beard, and an immortal look.

From Liu An of the Western Han Dynasty, to a series of alchemists, myself, and the people after me.

The long river of history flows slowly, and the shadows of all predecessors and descendants are all gathered on oneself.

"The fruit of the Dao in the Dharma Ending Age will be accomplished by me!"

The remaining step is to verify the feasibility of this method.

Liang Yue let out a long sigh, and his mind, which had been immersed for a long time, seemed to come alive.

"The only way to keep improving your skills is to stay young forever."

Under the Bodhi tree, a bronze sacred mountain stands.

Liang Yue looked at the 108 sealed gods and demons.

"The emergence of gods and demons is inevitable. Even if I suppress them during my lifetime, I can't control them after they die. It's better to release them and use the power of these gods and demons."

Perhaps there will be a chance to find a way to awaken the disciples.

"Let's put it aside for now and put the method of cultivation into practice first."

On the other side of Jian Lake, an old man was meditating and regulating his breathing, practicing the Liang family's unique Vajra Indestructible Magical Skills and Pure Yang Skills.

Liang Ye opened his eyes and saw his ancestor standing in front of him.

"What did the ancestors tell me?"

"I will now teach you the Pure Yang Alchemy Technique. I hope you will practice diligently."

Liang Yue glanced at Liang Ye. This kid had no special abilities, so it would probably be difficult for him to break through to the foundation-building stage. But it didn't matter. At most he could treat it as a martial arts practice. The difference between the Qi Refining stage and martial arts was not much.

If one day, spiritual energy is revived, or a child with supernatural powers appears, this method can be practiced.

"Is the Pure Yang Inner Alchemy a method of improving the Pure Yang Kung?"

"That's not the case. This is the method of cultivation."

In the following days, Liang Yue provided elixirs, supervised this person's practice, and modified the omissions in the exercises.

"The technique is good, but the threshold is too high."

It is more difficult than learning ordinary internal skills. If it weren't for my supervision, Liang Ye would have no chance of learning.

"But it's better this way, to prevent the warrior era from coming again." "Hah!!"

In the courtyard, Liang Ye roared, and golden light burst out all over his body. His body surface seemed to be covered by a layer of gold foil. He smashed the entire rockery into pieces with one punch.

He already had innate cultivation and quickly broke through to the peak of Qi Refining.

"Ancestor, I am glad to have fulfilled your mission."

"Very good." Liang Yue changed the subject and said, "Give me an identity, I want to go to the Central Plains."

The sample size is not large enough and more samples are needed for research.

It’s best to be a stranger.

"The Penglai tribe will hold a festival in a few days. Do you want to worship your ancestors?"

Looking at the speechless eyes of the ancestor, Liang Ye reacted and realized that the ancestor seemed to not need him to worship himself.

"How many people are there in the Liang family now?"

"The Penglai Liang family, including its branches... has a total of more than 40,000 people. The Kuaiji Liang family should have 40,000 to 50,000 people."

This is not all. Back then, the Liang family chose to expand and branch out. Nine out of ten Liang families in the Central Plains are from the Liang family. The descendants of Liang Yue number at least 800,000.

"Eight hundred thousand. It lives up to my grandmother's expectations."

Liang Yue was amazed that human reproduction was so powerful.

Most of the Liang family members were from a good social class. In the modern times, the number of Liang family members would probably exceed tens of millions.

Of course, most of these are branches, and some people don’t even know their distant ancestor.

Soon, Liang Ye presented the official document of his identity.

"Liang Fu, the Prince of Donghai County in Penglai State, also known as Fusang Taoist."

"Prince?" Liang Yue looked at the descendants.

"The higher the status, the more the emperor values him. Penglai has a special status. It is a king in name only and an emperor in reality. It can be granted the title of a county king. There are no mistakes or omissions in the identity information."

From the Tang Dynasty to the Song Dynasty, Penglai Kingdom had frequent trade with the Central Plains. Penglai produced many Taoists and famous doctors, and had very good relations with the Chinese dynasty.

The capital of Song Dynasty: Luoyang.

In the summer of the fourth year of Jianlong's reign, the imperial army defeated the Khitan barbarians in the north and recovered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. Subsequently, Tubo submitted a letter of submission.

At this point, the world was unified except for the Western Regions.

The conquest of the State of Song ended here.

On this day, all the ministers had a banquet.

Zhao Kuangyin summoned high-ranking military generals to drink in the palace.

Everyone shouted at all the civil officials to leave.

Zhao Kuangyin put down his wine glass heavily and sighed:
"Alas, I can't sleep well all day long."

"Your Majesty, why?" the counselor asked immediately.

"Now the world is peaceful and every family is happy. If a warrior were to take over the country and claim to be the emperor, wouldn't that cause great suffering to all people? Thinking of this, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep."

The generals looked at each other, vaguely guessing what the emperor was thinking.

Looking around again, there were candlelight, sword lights, and a murderous aura.

"Your Majesty, please show us a clear way!" A straightforward general bowed.

"Choose a good place for yourselves, each guard your fief, and do not discuss removal or replacement. We are relatives by marriage, and there is no suspicion between the ruler and the subject."

Everyone knows the pros and cons.

The next day, all the military officials claimed to be ill and asked to be relieved of their military power and return home. Zhao Kuangyin fulfilled his promise, conferred hereditary titles on them, and formed a marriage alliance with them.

A glass of wine releases military power.

Thus ended the sixty-year-long chaos caused by feudal lords.

Late at night, Zhao Kuangyin was alone thinking about state affairs.

"For civil officials, there should be a censorate. For military officials, there should also be a similar place for supervision."

Zhao Kuangyin was thinking hard and did not sleep all night.

The next day, the eunuch came to report.

"Report, the Huashan Divine Man Chen Tuan, the Taoist Fusang, the Prince of Donghai County of Penglai Country, wants to see you."

"Chen Tuan?" Zhao Kuangyin remembered this famous guy and still remembered that this old man had earned Huashan from him.

Who is Fuso Taoist?
Soon, a white-haired old man came along, following the middle-aged Taoist priest, led by a eunuch.

The Prince of Donghai looked strangely familiar, but as soon as Zhao Kuangyin met his eyes, he felt that he couldn't remember him.

The face of Taoist Lingbao from that time gradually became blurred, but the temperament of the person in front of him was very similar to that of Lingbao from that time.

"Please, both of you!"

"Your Majesty, you're welcome."

The three of them chatted and gradually became familiar with each other, and then Zhao Kuangyin expressed his thoughts last night.

"This is easy. Just issue an imperial decree. If they want status and fame, Your Majesty will give them. This will become a rule in the future. Only when the emperor recognizes them can they be considered successful and famous."

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a moment and said with a smile: "This is a very good plan."

Afterwards, Zhao Kuangyin conferred the title of Xiyi Zhenren on Chen Tuan and granted him Mount Hua.

Liang Yue was named Fusang Zhenren and given Shaoshi Mountain.

Build the Shenxiao Lei Palace to serve the national teacher.

At this point, it became famous all over the world.
