My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Meditation involves stabilizing internal friction to below one-third, meaning the spirit is stable while the essence and qi remain still.

The concepts of "great stability" and "constant stability" aim to normalize this state as much as possible while reducing its proportion.

That is, Qi can move, Jing can move, and Shen can remain stable.

The Dao Ding, on the other hand, eliminates all internal friction while maintaining a constant state without any external consumption.

That is, the qi, essence, and spirit move, but without harming oneself in the slightest.

Although one cannot move in a meditative state, a god can control formations, magical artifacts, elephants, and so on, thus being able to unleash one-third of their true power.

Depending on the situation, deep meditation and Zen meditation can unleash between one-third and ninety percent of one's true power.

The foundation of Dao is 100% strength, and it can even achieve cross-domain strength through the guidance of the Great Dao.

How to achieve this state is the practice of cultivating one's mind.

The five states of mind mentioned earlier are about how to improve one's state of mind.

A peaceful mind reduces the drain on one's energy, allowing one to be content with one's lot and not be affected by the environment.

Courage reduces the internal consumption of vital energy, invigorates blood and qi, sets goals, and allows vital energy to align with spiritual energy, thus reducing the conflict between the two.

A prosperous mind reduces the consumption of vital energy. A prosperous mind is bustling and lively, with many different kinds of things. Just like the harmony of the five elements, water and fire can coexist peacefully in this state of mind.

A sense of honor reduces internal friction among the three elements. The honorable person shines in all directions because of their nobility. In other words, an absolute leader is chosen among the three elements of spirit, energy, and morale, and the other two will absolutely obey. Naturally, there will be no internal friction among the three.

The mind of worldly desires reduces external friction while eliminating internal friction. Worldly desires encompass everything within, so there is no external friction, and therefore no external friction.

Since the mind of worldly desires has neither internal nor external conflict, why does it exist under the Dao?

This is because the Dao is in harmony with the Great Dao, while the worldly heart is in harmony with the Way of Man, and the Way of Man is subordinate to the Great Dao.

Therefore, worldly desires cannot reach the absolute state of Daoist concentration.

Zhao Xuan believed that he could reach the combat power of the Emperor Realm after cultivating his clone.

It's because Zhao Xuan's mental cultivation is now sufficient, even surpassing the Emperor Realm; the only thing he lacks is basic strength.

However, since this is his advantage, he wants to further expand it; that is Zhao Xuan's idea.

Therefore, the second Five Elements system he wanted to build would develop in terms of speed.

The goal is to enhance this advantage, improve one's control over the rhythm, and thus be able to leverage this advantage in direct confrontations.

The so-called combat rhythm is nothing more than how to quickly elevate oneself from a static state to a state of full-power burst, and how to quickly return from a state of full-power burst back to a static state.

And how to seize fleeting opportunities to erupt, recover, and how to create those opportunities.

This reminded Zhao Xuan of a spell called the Immobilization Spell.

Among the minor supernatural powers, there are seventy-two called Earthly Fiend Supernatural Powers, which can be said to be the main body of the minor supernatural powers that are called Earthly Fiend Supernatural Powers.

Among the great supernatural powers, there are thirty-six types known as the Heavenly Gang Supernatural Powers, which constitute the main body of the great supernatural powers referred to as the Heavenly Gang level supernatural powers.

The reason why the seventy-two Earthly Fiend Divine Powers and the thirty-six Heavenly Divine Powers are discussed separately is because these one hundred and eight divine powers are rare exceptions to the physical divine powers, which can be advanced through cultivation.

For example, Hua Jun's Spirit Summoning ability was advanced from the Earthly Fiend Spirit Summoning ability, which progressed to the Earthly Fiend Spirit Summoning ability, then to the Heavenly Gang Spirit Summoning ability, and finally to the Limitless Emperor's Arrival ability.

The differences between the three are in terms of power and activation conditions.

The object of communication through spirits is unknown and difficult to control.

While the object of spirit summoning is still difficult to control, one can choose it and take a certain degree of initiative.

The emperor chooses his own target and, after leveraging that power, takes the lead himself.

In other words, the Tongyou Society is being usurped by a major evil spirit, and when its power is being borrowed, it may take advantage of this to usurp the position.

While summoning spirits does not pose as great a threat as communicating with the dead, excessive use of this method can still harm oneself.

The emperor's presence does not bring the harm of either.

They can also comprehend higher levels of power through the Emperor's Arrival.

At the Boundless level, supernatural powers are close to perfect, but there will still be consumption.

The supernatural powers at the Wuji level can be used as regular power; not only is there no consumption, but they also become stronger the more they are used.

Zhao Xuan's "Flower Blooms Instantly" is a divine power at the Wuji level, but Zhao Xuan cannot unleash its full power.

However, they cannot enjoy the greatest benefit of the Wuji level of supernatural powers—being free from the constraints of the Heavenly Dao.

If he could achieve complete control and master that boundless power, then any technique Zhao Xuan cultivated would be free from the constraints of the Heavenly Dao and reach the boundless level.

The reason I thought of the immobilization spell is because the immobilization technique is a supreme divine power that can disrupt the rhythm of battle.

The method of immobilization is a cultivation technique extracted from the supernatural power of immobilization.

A magic-level immobilization spell can only immobilize the body of someone whose cultivation level is one major realm lower than one's own.

The immobilization technique at the Earthly Fiend level can freeze the body of cultivators of the same level.

The immobilization technique at the Tiangang level can freeze the body and power of cultivators of the same level.

The immeasurable level of the immobilization technique can also freeze the thoughts of practitioners of the same level.

However, when this supernatural power is activated, the user needs to withstand the impact of the same level of immobilization supernatural power, which disrupts their rhythm, making it difficult to integrate into the battle state.

However, Zhao Xuan was thinking that he was not good at finding rhythm in battle, so the side effects of the immobilization technique really didn't affect him much.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan wanted to construct a second Five Elements system related to speed or rhythm, so he used the Immobilization Technique as the structure.

Zhao Xuan began to ponder the cultivation method of the immobilization technique.

The art of immobilization involves cultivating a kind of immobilization light. When this immobilization light is condensed into a divine talisman, it becomes the immobilization supernatural power.

The Immobilization Light requires a highly inert yet highly penetrating energy as its main component, which is constantly integrated with the principles and methods of the Immobilization Technique.

The so-called highly inert energy is actually the energy of the metal element.

To allow the energy of the metal element to have sufficient penetrating power, it can be achieved through the conduction of the fire element and the penetration of the water element.

To allow the power to be fully transmitted and permeated, it must be rendered harmless using the earth element and disguised using the wood element.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan used the conventional power of the Five Elements to first construct a generating and restraining structure with the Metal element as the main element.

The mutual generation of the five elements is to enhance the inertia of the metal element's power, which is the immobilization ability of the Immobilizing Mysterious Light itself.

The mutual restraint among the five elements is to dull the sharpness of the metal element, reduce stress, and prevent the enemy from noticing the danger.

After obtaining a wisp of golden energy.

Zhao Xuan then attached this wisp of golden energy to a wisp of fire elemental power, and the golden energy and fire elemental energy intertwined.

Then, by harnessing the power of the five elements' mutual generation, the activity of the fire element is stimulated to its limit, thereby influencing the golden energy and transforming it from a near-solidified state into a beam of electromagnetic waves.

Although the fixed-body light is called light, it does not have radiance; rather, it is a kind of fluctuation.

While spreading the light would increase its range, it would also disperse the power of the immobilizing light.

When the beam of electromagnetic waves appeared, a mysterious power from an unknown place blessed the light, and the light transformed into a physical talisman.

The talisman consists of nine lines that form the two characters "定身" (fixation) in the style of celestial script and cloud energy.

The Heavenly Book Cloud Qi is also known as the Cloud Register Dao Pattern.

Dao patterns are also known as Dao script.

Texts that elucidate the profound mysteries of the Great Dao.

Supernatural talismans are divided into four grades: Earthly Fiend, Heavenly Dipper, Boundless, and Limitless.

However, apart from Zhao Xuan, no one knew what a supernatural talisman at the Wuji level looked like.

The supernatural talisman at the Earthly Fiend level is a talisman with the name of the supernatural power written in celestial script and cloud energy through nine lines, and it is perceived as a circular physical entity.

The supernatural talismans at the Heavenly Gang level are inscribed with the name of the supernatural power in six lines of dragon and phoenix patterns, and are perceived as oval-shaped and semi-transparent.

The supernatural talisman of immeasurable level is a supernatural power name written in innate divine script by three lines, and it is perceived as a rectangular transparent shape.

The ultimate level of divine power talisman is a pattern with the name of the divine power written in innate Daoist script. It cannot be perceived by non-owners and therefore has no form.

The number of patterns, the state of the characters, and whether their shapes are rounded and harmonious all demonstrate the degree of mastery over supernatural powers.

Supernatural powers are a kind of organization of rules; therefore, the higher the level of a supernatural power, the more it resembles a set of rules.

The compass and square are tools for correcting circles and squares, and by extension, they become standards and rules.

Therefore, the higher the grade of the supernatural power, the greater the mastery of the supernatural power, and the closer the shape of the supernatural power talisman is to the regular form.

Once the supernatural talismans, which are guided by the Daoist principles, are condensed, they are in their complete form.

However, the supernatural talismans that a practitioner can create depend on the practitioner's own understanding of the techniques.

The inherited supernatural talismans require practitioners to gradually increase their control over them until they achieve perfect mastery.

The next step is to figure out how to improve the level of supernatural powers.

Zhao Xuan conjured a talisman that could immobilize the opponent.

This shows that Zhao Xuan not only mastered the art of immobilization, but also elevated its profoundness to the level of supernatural power.

Of course, it's only at the level of Earthly Fiend Divine Power right now.

The shape is not regular, the patterns are not harmonious, and the characters are not harmonious, indicating that the development of supernatural powers is still very shallow.

However, the advantage is that the cultivator can perfectly control the supernatural talismans they create themselves.

Then Zhao Xuan began to infuse the power of destruction, the power of burning stars, the power of illusion, the power of breathing soil, and the power of emptiness into the divine talisman. Then, using the five elements' mutual generation and restraint, he activated a certain effect of the five powers and erased certain characteristics.

What is erased is naturally the destructive nature, because cultivators have very keen spiritual senses, or the destructive power is so great that it can make the cultivator's spiritual sense feel extreme fear and lose the ability to think.

Alternatively, one could eliminate the direct lethality, preventing the cultivator's spiritual sense from perceiving any danger.

The Two Elements Mysterious Light is the former, while the Body-Fixing Mysterious Light is the latter.

Because the Immobilizing Light does not have any direct harmful power, it will not alert the cultivator's spiritual consciousness. By the time they realize they have been affected, it is too late.

After that, they were at his mercy.

Practitioners possess divine consciousness and spiritual awareness.

The function of spiritual consciousness is to collect information, but in most cases, practitioners do not have enough mental capacity to discern the degree of danger in dangerous information.

At this point, spiritual awareness comes into play, directly processing all the dangerous information.

This often leads to a situation where, during a battle, both sides inexplicably do things that are difficult for outsiders to understand.

Even high-level cultivators can find themselves hampered in battles against lower-level cultivators.

This is because the spiritual senses danger, but lacks sufficient mental processing to filter it, so it instinctively avoids the danger.

A knife cutting into the neck is dangerous, and even a minor cut to the skin carries the risk of infection and poisoning. Therefore, a knife cutting into the neck and a knife cutting the skin are equally dangerous to the spirit.

Just like a normal person seeing a sharp knife and feeling the danger and the need to stay away, this is the work of spiritual awareness.

Therefore, the lower the external danger of the Body-Fixing Mystic Light, the easier it is for it to work.

As Zhao Xuan infused the power of the Five Elements and manipulated their interactions, it entered the supernatural talisman.

The supernatural talisman gradually emitted a white light. Under the illumination of the light, the talisman began to make subtle adjustments. The patterns became more and more harmonious, the characters became more and more harmonious, and the shape began to change towards a perfect circle.

At the same time, the Azure Dragon flew over, absorbing the black aura from the magical talisman.

Afterwards, the white light suddenly became very bright, and after it recovered, the nine patterns became six, the Heavenly Book Cloud Qi became the Dragon and Phoenix Talisman, and the circle changed into an ellipse.

This means that the supernatural power has been upgraded from the Earthly Fiend level to the Heavenly Gang level, and the supernatural power talisman at the Earthly Fiend level has become a supernatural power talisman at the Heavenly Gang level.

The white light on the supernatural talisman had not yet disappeared, and under its illumination, the talisman was still undergoing minor adjustments.

After an unknown amount of time, the white light on the supernatural talisman became extremely bright again. Then, the six lines became three, the dragon and phoenix scripts became innate divine scripts, and the shape changed to a rectangle.

The supernatural talisman has been elevated to the level of immeasurable supernatural power.

After a brief flash of white light, it disappeared.

Zhao Xuan knew that he had mastered the immobilization technique at the immeasurable level.

It was still a perfect grasp.

This is the supreme spiritual power of the Five Elements; when fused into a divine power, it must be a divine power of immeasurable level.

The five elements interact and generate each other, creating the power of creation; those white lights are the power of creation.

The mutual restraint of the five elements can be thought of as a destructive force, but this force is not needed in the immobilization technique.

Therefore, it was absorbed by the Azure Dragon and used to enhance the power of the Yin-Yang Mysterious Light.

The Azure Dragon is an image, the Yin-Yang Mysterious Light is also an image, and the defensive stance is also an image.

However, the latter two are attached to the former, forming a stronger image together.

They complement each other, enabling each other to exert a stronger and more stable power.

The advantage of elephants is that they can merge with each other.

The advantage of supernatural talismans is their stability.

Each has its advantages, so there's no need to overemphasize the form in which power exists.

Of course, the best way is to exist in the form of an elephant or a supernatural talisman, as the elephant and the supernatural talisman are an integration of power.

This is why the true realm requires a sufficient proportion of principles and laws within one's cultivation.

Only reason and law can guide power to form images or supernatural talismans.

However, most practitioners, besides using their true form to integrate power and deal with emergencies, also practice supernatural powers and talismans.

Because supernatural talismans are very stable, using them consumes far less of one's own principles and laws compared to using physical forms.
