Beast Taming Tower

"Before, I also talked about what the Tao heart is, the Tao!"

“But now, I have my own new understanding of the Dao Heart and the Dao.”

"What is the heart of Tao?"

Chen Xuan's loud voice rang out from the scene.

There were many cultivators present, but none of them could truly answer Chen Xuan's question.

Everyone knows about the Dao Heart, but no one can put it into words. What is the Dao Heart of a cultivator?

After seeing that everyone had been thinking hard for a long time and still had no answer, Chen Xuan finally spoke.

"In my opinion, a fellow Taoist is someone who is determined to pursue immortality!"

"We cultivators, from the moment we embark on the path of cultivation, are striving for strength and an endless lifespan, aren't we?"

"Now, many of us have reached the Mahayana stage of cultivation, and our lifespans are as long as 500,000 years."

"For many cultivators in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages, cultivators in the Mahayana stage are like immortals on earth!"

"Therefore, many fellow Taoists began to practice continuously, constantly improving their realm. In this way, they could gain more lifespan."

“This is what I call the heart of Tao.”

Chen Xuan finished speaking and stopped talking.

His calm gaze swept over everyone.

Seeing this, everyone looked at him with serious expressions.

There were even quite a few cultivators who looked contemplative.

He seemed to be constantly thinking about something.

But soon, most of the immortal cultivators showed a hint of enlightenment.

Only a small number of cultivators still had sad faces.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan continued his lecture.

"Dao Xin is the determination to pursue immortality!"

"This is the fundamental pursuit of all of us cultivators seeking immortality."

"However, some people's cultivation is stuck at a certain bottleneck, and they can't break through in their entire lives. Does that mean their Dao heart is very firm?"

"Some fellow Daoists have only reached the Qi Refining stage. But ever since they embarked on the path of cultivation, they have continuously steadfastly cultivated with unwavering faith. Yet, in the end, their cultivation can only remain at the tenth level of Qi Refining, achieving great perfection, before finally passing away in meditation. I'd like to ask you all, isn't this Daoist's heart steadfast?"

Chen Xuan's words made all the cultivators look even more confused.

Even many of the immortal cultivators who had just understood the truth showed confusion.

Chen Xuan was not in a hurry.

He swept his calm gaze over everyone, giving them time to think.

When he saw that no one understood, he spoke again.

"In my opinion, the so-called firmness of the Dao heart is not only determined by the level of cultivation of the immortal cultivator, but also by his ultimate achievement!"

"As everyone knows, all of us cultivators have our own spiritual roots. Cultivators with a single spiritual root, the Heavenly Spiritual Root, can cultivate extremely quickly. Cultivators with five elements spiritual roots, or even multiple spiritual roots, simply cannot embark on the path of cultivation."

"But, among all the fellow Taoists present, the vast majority are probably those with three or even two spiritual roots, right?"

"Let me ask you, in your opinion, based on your cultivation talent, what realm can you reach to be considered worthy of your life?"

As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, there was a commotion at the scene.

"Ancestor, I am a cultivator with a single spiritual root. In my opinion, my cultivation should be at least at the early stage of Jindan, so that I can be considered to have lived up to my life."

"Old man, although I have dual spiritual roots, I am already in the early stage of Void Refinement. In my opinion, I must at least advance to the Fusion Stage to live up to my life."

"Old man, although I have three spiritual roots, I am already in the Spiritual Transformation Stage. I have the confidence to go one step further and advance to the Void Refinement Stage!"

……

The excited voices of countless Yuling Sect cultivators rang out from the scene.

Chen Xuan listened carefully to each of their explanations.

After a moment's silence, Chen Xuan's voice rang out again.

"Just now, fellow Taoists all had their own opinions on whether their Daoist hearts were firm."

"In my opinion, what kind of Dao heart can be considered a firm Dao heart?"

"Every one of us cultivators only needs to cultivate diligently. As for what kind of achievements we can achieve in the future, we don't care."

"But every day we practice is well spent."

"One day, we may die, or even pass away. But when we look back on our lives, if our cultivation is worthy of our efforts, that's what I call a firm heart of the Tao."

"Every one of us cultivators has different levels of talent and realm."

"Similarly, there are differences in Dao Heart."

"For example, a cultivator with natural spiritual roots, despite having abundant cultivation resources, can only cultivate to the Core Formation stage when his time is up. In my opinion, this is a manifestation of an unwavering Dao heart."

"A cultivator with a natural spiritual root, despite being extremely short of cultivation resources, was able to cultivate to the Core Formation stage through his own hard work before his deadline. But in my opinion, he is a person with a firm heart for the Tao."

"Why? The former enjoys ample cultivation resources and wastes his time. The latter is limited by cultivation resources, yet remains steadfast and unwavering on the path of cultivation."

"In my opinion, the latter's Dao heart is naturally much more firm than the former's."

After Chen Xuan finished speaking, everyone suddenly understood.

More immortal cultivators from the Yuling Sect clenched their fists with excitement.

Especially those immortal cultivators who were stuck at a bottleneck, had a short lifespan, and had a low level of cultivation, showed a look of relief.

They all stood up, saluted Chen Xuan, and sat down again.

Chen Xuan's expression was calm as he continued to talk about his views on Dao Xin.

He explained things in simple terms.

For difficult-to-understand parts, we use various examples to try to make them understandable to everyone.

It was precisely because of this that the immortal cultivators from the Yuling Sect present all gained a lot.

After only two hours, Chen Xuan finally finished explaining his Dao Heart.

Next, after a short rest, Chen Xuan began to explain what "Tao" is.

"The Tao is the art! So, if the Tao is the art, what is the art?"

"Magic spells? Martial arts, formations? Are these the Tao?"

"In my opinion, the so-called Tao is the general term used by cultivators to refer to all methods and paths of cultivation."

"The so-called Tao refers to the various methods we use when practicing."

……

Three days later, Chen Xuan's sermon finally ended.

Among the Yuling Sect cultivators present, many of them were completely enlightened after listening to Chen Xuan's preaching.

In the near future, the realm will advance by leaps and bounds.

In fact, for many ordinary cultivators, Chen Xuan’s sermon this time has opened up the knots in their hearts regarding cultivation.

It allows many immortal cultivators with mediocre qualifications to shine in the immortal cultivation world.

Of course, these are things to follow.

Soon after Chen Xuan finished his sermon and returned to his cave, he immediately announced that he would go into seclusion to practice and no longer be involved in the specific affairs of the Yuling Sect.

In fact, although Chen Xuan is the ancestor of the Yuling Sect.

But most of the time, he would not interfere in the specific affairs of the Yuling Sect.

……

Fairy Beast Tower, first floor.

Chen Xuan sat cross-legged.

Not far away, Wu Zhaomei had already entered a state of cultivation.

Around her, the vast spiritual energy had already gathered into a huge spiritual ball.

At this moment, Wu Zhaomei's aura was long and powerful.

Chen Xuan's mind swept over Wu Zhaomei, and immediately a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Mei'er's cultivation has improved rapidly during this period. It seems that after she comes out of seclusion, she will be one step closer to the middle stage of tribulation." Chen Xuan said with a smile.

However, Chen Xuan himself was not idle either.

After randomly finding a place to sit down, he began to comprehend the recipe of the Xuanling Five Elements Pill.

A day later, after Chen Xuan had fully understood the recipe of the Xuanling Five Elements Pill, he stopped.

However, Chen Xuan was not busy refining pills at this time.

Instead, he took this opportunity to visit the medicinal fields.

After picking some auxiliary spiritual medicines, he returned to the first floor of the Fairy Beast Tower.

Waiting for him took some time.

After processing all the spiritual medicines on hand, he began to get busy.

hum!

With a thought, Chen Xuan's seven-colored treasure tripod was completely activated by him.

Soon, Chen Li appeared directly under the colorful treasure tripod.

The golden flames kept burning.

The temperature in the colorful cauldron is also gradually rising.

Chen Xuan's divine sense quickly fell on the colorful treasure tripod.

After the temperature in the colorful cauldron reached the optimal temperature for alchemy, he threw a spiritual medicine into the Fairy Beast Tower.

Wow!

The terrifying high temperature directly burned the impurities in the elixir into ashes.

Only the pure essence of the medicinal power is completely preserved.

Chen Xuan, however, looked normal.

Controlling the colorful tripod step by step.

After just one hour, a sharp thunder suddenly appeared from the sky above the colorful tripod.

Seeing this, Chen Xuan calmly opened the lid of the tripod.

Twelve pills fell rapidly into the thunder tribulation.

After half a cup of tea, the thunder finally disappeared.

The twelve Xuanling Five Elements Pills finally appeared in front of Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan grabbed the twelve Xuanling Five Elements Pills in the air with his palm.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that among the twelve pills refined this time, ten were actually lower-grade heavenly pills.

Only two of them are tenth-grade pills.

This made Chen Xuan very happy.

"Haha, ten low-grade Heavenly Grade pills. My alchemy skills seem to have greatly improved compared to before."

"If that's the case, I might as well hurry up and refine some more pills."

"Let's see if I can refine a low-grade Heaven-level elixir in every furnace."

When Chen Xuan thought of this, he suddenly became excited.

But he was not busy refining the elixir. Instead, he calmed down and carefully summarized his experience in refining the elixir before continuing to refine the elixir.

Wow!

Chen Xuan's mind moved, and he activated the seven-colored treasure tripod again.

Soon, he skillfully threw the spiritual herbs into the colorful cauldron one by one.

Just waiting for time, an hour passed.

Chen Xuan finally stopped.

At this moment, in front of him, there were six jade bottles containing elixirs.

At this moment, Chen Xuan was looking at these jade bottles with such joy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"These jade bottles contain the Xuanling Five Elements Pills I refined. There are sixty of them in total."

"Among them, there are fifty-six lower-grade Heavenly Grade Pills. The remaining four are all tenth-grade pills."

"This time, my alchemy skills have made great progress."

"Especially the last few batches of pills, each one is of lower heaven grade."

"This also means that my alchemy skills have finally reached their pinnacle."

Chen Xuan was very happy when he thought of this.

After he had a short rest and his energy and spirit had recovered to their peak state, he picked up a lower-grade Heavenly Xuanling Five Elements Pill and began to refine it!

Wow!

The powerful medicinal power was completely activated by Chen Xuan.

Soon, the extremely pure medicinal power flowed through Chen Xuan's body.

In just a moment, Chen Xuan's aura gradually increased.

His cultivation level is getting closer and closer to the middle stage of tribulation.

Even so, Chen Xuan knew it.

It is not an easy task to advance from the early stage of tribulation to the middle stage of tribulation.

Even though he had a large number of low-grade heavenly elixirs to support him.

It also takes time to carefully refine the elixir.

In this way, after several decades of waiting in the Immortal Beast Tower, Chen Xuan was still sitting cross-legged in the same place without moving.

But the aura emanating from him was already infinitely close to that of the middle stage of tribulation.

More than ten years passed while waiting in the Fairy Beast Tower.

The aura on Chen Xuan's body finally changed.

A terrifying pressure from the middle stage of tribulation suddenly erupted from him.
