Since he couldn't leave Kunlun Mountain for the time being, Xuan Yin didn't get impatient. Instead, he calmed down and deepened his cultivation at the Golden Immortal level, while also using his Undying Immortal Consciousness to refine his spiritual particles.
After condensing the three flowers of essence, energy, and spirit to form the spiritual form of a golden immortal, one must pursue the subtle and profound, further refining one's primordial spirit and physical body.
What is meant by "Xi Yi Wei"?
What cannot be heard is called "Xi"; what cannot be seen is called "Yi"; what cannot be grasped is called "Wei".
Therefore, the cultivation of this realm is to continuously deepen one's understanding of the microscopic world.
The Great Dao is formless, yet it gives birth to heaven and earth; the Great Dao is without emotion, yet it governs the sun and moon; the Great Dao is nameless, yet it nurtures all things. Here, the Great Dao is not a law, but rather the microscopic particles that constitute all the universe and matter.
The Golden Immortal realm, where the Dao merges with the ethereal and the true nature is emptiness, is a continuous transformation towards the void of the Great Dao, which is silent, formless, and without substance.
Suddenly, Xuan Yin had a thought, recalling the [Northern Yin Black Law] that the future Ziwei Emperor would teach him after his arrival in the Taidi Palace.
As is widely known, the Emperor of Fengdu is the incarnation of the Emperor of Ziwei and the ancestor of ghost immortals. The [Northern Yin Black Law] that he comprehended from the Great Dao of the Netherworld is all-encompassing, including the application of the rules of the Netherworld, the method of refining Netherworld Dao weapons, and naturally, the method of ghost immortal cultivation.
Among Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost, Ghost Immortals have the weakest foundation and are the least respected, yet they can be ranked alongside Heavenly Immortals, indicating that the path of Ghost Immortals still has its unique aspects.
"All things in heaven and earth are based on humankind. When a human dies, he becomes a ghost; when a ghost dies, he becomes a spirit; when a spirit dies, he becomes a rabble; when a rabble dies, he transforms into nothingness; when nothingness dies, the Dao arises; the Dao gives birth to one; one gives birth to two; two gives birth to three; three gives birth to all things..."
"The cultivation of the Ghost Immortal path and the pursuit of the subtle and void in the Golden Immortal realm seem to have many similarities!"
Xuan Yin seemed to have some understanding. Of the five immortal paths—Heaven, Earth, Man, God, and Ghost—he had already come into contact with three. He had cultivated the Heavenly Immortal Path and the Earthly Immortal Path, and he had also gained some understanding of the God Immortal Path.
He is the mountain god of Buzhou Mountain and has also cultivated the immortal path, so he can naturally be considered a half-immortal, but he has not yet fully integrated the divine and immortal paths.
Therefore, he can only be considered half a god.
Although the methods of the Ghost Immortal Path are recorded in the [Northern Yin Black Law], Xuan Yin has never seriously studied its mysteries.
If it weren't for a sudden flash of inspiration today, he really wouldn't have connected the cultivation of the Ghost Immortal path with the subtle and mysterious pursuit of the Golden Immortal realm.
"The immortal golden nature of the Golden Immortal realm is actually constantly deepening the foundation of a cultivator's existence, while the Taiyi Golden Immortal's convergence of the timeline is also a continuous strengthening of this foundation. Only in this way can one achieve true immortality and eternal proof after breaking through to the Great Luo realm..."
"Ghost immortals are the opposite. Although they also pursue the subtle and profound, the process of going from human to ghost, from ghost to ling, and then from ling back to the subtle and profound is a constant weakening of their foundation for existence!"
"Therefore, even if one is fortunate enough to achieve the Great Luo status through the path of the Ghost Immortal, one will still be the weakest of the five immortal paths among the Great Luo cultivators!"
"However, the path of the Ghost Immortal is not without its merits. It is about turning death into life, and it is indeed more difficult to kill than other Great Luo Immortals!"
"In this respect, it shares many similarities with the Western method of guiding saints to Nirvana and the Phoenix Clan's method of rebirth!"
Suddenly, Xuan Yin thought of his teacher. Whether it was Nirvana or transcendence in the underworld, wasn't it all for him to prove the end of heaven and earth?
Reviving from annihilation and rising from ruin, time and again turning death into life, it seems to be moving closer to the spirit of Lingbao Tianzun!
Heaven and earth have an end, all things have their final tribulations, and even the Great Luo has its tribulations of losing oneself and losing the Dao. Rather than repeatedly consolidating one's foundation of existence in the Primordial True Realm, it would be better to study how to return from the tribulation of losing oneself if one unfortunately falls into it...
This is the pursuit of the Ghost Immortal Path.
Those who cultivate the path of ghost immortals may be able to return to the world after their foundation for existence has been destroyed. They may be able to do so by relying on the spirits or by using the form of Xi Yiwei.
"Moreover, if the Great Luo does not die and falls into the Tribulation of Losing Self, a large amount of karma can be eliminated!"
Xuan Yin suddenly had a bold idea: "Ghost Immortals have already died once, so if I cultivate the path of Ghost Immortals, as long as I die quickly enough, won't karma be unable to catch up with me?"
He originally had no intention of cultivating the path of the Ghost Immortal, but now he is too conspicuous and has been targeted by several saints and great supernatural beings. In addition, there are also many Great Luo Golden Immortals from future timelines. He is really afraid that one day he might be tricked by someone!
At this point, practicing the path of the Ghost Immortal might allow one to intentionally die once, thus freeing oneself from the attention of those saints and those with great supernatural powers.
"Wonderful!"
Xuan Yin couldn't help but laugh loudly: "The Great Dao of Ghost Immortals is wonderful! We must learn the Great Dao of Ghost Immortals! We may not need it now, but we might need it in the future!"
However, a problem then arose in his mind: "I am a human now, but to cultivate the Great Dao of Ghost Immortals, it seems that I have to deliberately die once!"
"Am I supposed to kill myself?"
Suddenly, Doraemon popped out from Xuan Yin's auspicious cloud: "Have you forgotten that the power of the mind can evolve into incredible things?"
As he spoke, he opened his four-dimensional pocket and took out a box of candy, saying, "This is a candy of resentment that can temporarily turn you into a ghost! Just eat one, and you can temporarily become a ghost and thus cultivate this so-called Ghost Immortal Path!"
Upon seeing this, Xuan Yin's lips twitched slightly. Doraemon's gadgets were good, but he felt they didn't quite fit his own style!
Couldn't it be a little more like a fantasy/martial arts story?
"All right!"
After hearing Xuan Yin's thoughts, Doraemon shook his head helplessly. Then, using his inner power, he transformed the candy box in his hand into a gourd filled with pills: "This is the Nine-Turn Yin Soul Pill that I carefully refined. It can temporarily transform you into a ghost. Are you satisfied now?"
"satisfy!"
Xuan Yin nodded quickly: "That's more in line with the style of a cultivator!"
Then, he directly swallowed a "Nine-Turn Yin Soul Pill," transforming himself into a ghost and beginning his comprehension and cultivation of the Ghost Immortal Path.
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of years have passed. With the help of his insights into the path of the Ghost Immortal, Xuan Yin is making great progress in cultivating the Undying Immortal Consciousness.
On this day, a gentle breeze blew in from the horizon; it was the voice of Tianwu, the ancestor of wind.
"Fellow Daoist Xuan Yin, do you have some free time lately to visit the Pangu Temple?" During this time, the Twelve Ancestral Witches have also been busy. After helping Zhen Yuanzi retrieve the Book of Earth, they have been researching and perfecting the underground passage.
Through the Great Dao of Time, Zhu Jiuyin learned that after the Heavenly Dao bestowed the Earthly Dao Fruit upon Xuan Yin, he immediately felt that the time had come to perfect the Earthly Dao!
That's why Tianwu sent a message, hoping to invite Xuanyin to the Pangu Palace for a discussion.
Xuan Yin's heart stirred. He was about to descend upon Buzhou Mountain through the Spirit Realm when a sudden thought struck him, as if some life-or-death crisis was about to occur.
"no!"
He shook his head: "Although I have kept a low profile a lot during this period, there are probably quite a few top experts in the Primordial True Realm who are paying attention to me! If I leave Kunlun, I am very likely to be plotted against again!"
But he also had his own ideas about the underground world. Only when the underground world and humanity are revived can beings like him have the opportunity to prove their path.
Xuan Yin thought for a moment and immediately began to analyze: "The way of the teacher is to seize a glimmer of life for all living beings in the primordial world. He would definitely be happy to see the emergence of the Earthly Path. As for the Goddess Nuwa, since she has the idea of attaining enlightenment in the three paths of Heaven, Earth and Man, and she gave me a power belonging to the Mother Earth before, she must also hope to see the emergence of the Earthly Path and the birth of the Earthly Path Saint!"
"But the other sages each have their own plans, and I'm afraid they don't think the same way!"
"Those two in the West will definitely oppose it. The flourishing of Buddhism cannot be separated from reincarnation. If Houtu can achieve the position of a saint of the earth, how will they then seek power in the underworld!"
"My eldest grand-uncle, although he has always been inactive, would probably stand against Houtu if my second grand-uncle did not support him!"
"In other words, the restoration of the underground passage will likely face obstacles from three to four sages!"
"We must not be careless in the slightest!"
Even if Dao Ancestor Hongjun couldn't merge with the Dao, and Demon Ancestor Luo Hou was out of the question, even if Tongtian Jiaozhu and Nuwa Niangniang each blocked one Heavenly Dao Saint, the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation of the Wu Clan could barely block one Heavenly Dao Saint, and there was still a possibility that a Saint would have to intervene!
Moreover, the demon race in the heavens might not want to see the witch race produce a saint!
It's also a variable!
In summary, although the prerequisites for completing the tunnel have been met, the possibility of failure is still as high as 70%.
"A 30% success rate!"
Xuan Yin shook his head: "Even with a 98% success rate, this kind of thing isn't foolproof. We need to consider it further!"
Instead of going to Buzhou Mountain, he used his own karma with the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Zhen Yuanzi to pull them into the Spirit Realm through the Dream Path.
Immediately afterwards, he activated the Xuan Yuan Water Control Flag to conceal this secret of cause and effect.
Zhu Jiuyin immediately began to explain his plan: "Now, everything is ready, except for the final push! Houtu is the core of the matter of completing the Earthly Dao Origin, while Zhen Yuanzi is the assistant. With the help of the imprints in the Pangu Temple to foresee the future, we have also cultivated Xing Tian in advance. Even if Houtu is not here, our Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation will not be affected in the slightest!"
With the advantage of foresight, the Wu Clan has devoted all its resources to Houtu and Xingtian during this period.
Houtu's current realm is the perfected Hunyuan Golden Immortal, which is much stronger than that of Dijiang and Zhujiuyin, the two earliest Ancestral Witches.
Xing Tian, after absorbing a large amount of ancestral witch blood essence, is now at the mid-stage of the Primordial Golden Immortal realm, enough to support the Twelve Capital Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation.
As for Zhen Yuanzi, after a period of recuperation, he also recovered to his peak condition, but the fall of Hongyun Daoren always lingered in his mind.
Of course, Xuan Yin is also very important. He needs to integrate the Earth Origin Fruit of the Primordial Qilin into the Earth Origin at the most critical moment.
But listening to the plans of the Twelve Ancestral Witches, Xuan Yin couldn't help but frown: "Just this is probably not enough to ensure everything goes smoothly, and I never said that I would definitely support the Ancestral Witches!"
"Leaving aside whether this matter can bring me any benefit, the factors of the sages, the demon race, and Styx are also crucial. Have you considered them carefully?"
Upon hearing this, Dijiang couldn't help but laugh and said, "The Great Dao is fifty, the Heavenly Evolution is forty-nine, and one is missing. Even the Primordial Heavenly Dao cannot foresee everything. How can the things we plan possibly be foolproof?"
"As for the benefits..."
"Our Wu clan has collected quite a few spiritual roots and treasures over the years. If this succeeds, Fellow Daoist Xuan Yin can choose any of the spiritual items this time!"
"Furthermore, my Wu clan possesses a supreme acquired treasure, comparable to an Earthly Origin Dao Fruit, and we will absolutely not let Fellow Daoist Xuan Yin suffer any loss!"
Xuan Yin shook his head and said quietly, "I haven't forgotten that last time in the Western Sea, the Ancestral Witch Dijiang threw me out! As a Golden Immortal, I dare not take such a big risk!"
Di Jiang quickly explained, "Wasn't it my second brother who told me that Fellow Daoist Xuan Yin possesses a method capable of dealing with powerful beings?"
Xuan Yin immediately looked at Zhu Jiuyin. Since the other party cultivated the Great Dao of Time, it would be easy for him to discover the secrets on his body. No wonder Dijiang believed that he could save Zhen Yuanzi!
Oh it's you!
Zhu Jiuyin smiled awkwardly: "I only know about your methods, fellow Daoist. Besides... aren't you safe and sound now?"
He also knew that the chances of failure in this matter were extremely high. Otherwise, the twelve ancestral witches in the previous twenty cycles of reincarnation would have already successfully completed the tunnel and changed the fate of the witch clan!
But now, he has no better options than to take a risk!
After thinking for a moment, he immediately looked at Xuan Yin: "Could it be that Fellow Daoist Xuan Yin has a good idea?"
"It's hardly a good idea!"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Yin shook his head slightly: "I just feel that now is not the time, and the demon race does not necessarily have to be our enemy!"
