My Mythical Path to Immortality in Another World

Then living beings bring the power of Yin and Yang into their own cognition and give it some form of manifestation.

For example, life and death, water and fire, etc.

In this situation, life, death, yin and yang fall into the category of the Four Symbols, with the Azure Dragon representing life and the Black Tortoise representing death.

Water and fire, once formed, belong to the Five Elements.

At the same time, the Four Symbols and Five Elements can be transformed. The Four Symbols were originally called the Four Phases, which are the manifestation of the four modes of movement of earth, wind, water and fire.

The elements of earth, wind, water, and fire are not attributes, but rather modes of movement.

Movement is invisible, but living beings perceive movement by giving it a concrete form, such as the power of running or swimming.

In the spiritual practice community, this movement is given a concrete understanding, namely the Four Symbols.

This situation, along with the embodiment of the Yin-Yang concept and its inclusion in the Four Symbols and Five Elements, is a form of downgrading.

Tangible and physical forces are the most destructive, but battles in the fantasy world are not solely based on destructive power.

This results in the intangible having a greater practicality than the tangible having a greater power.

However, tangible but intangible forces cannot cause direct harm.

For example, when Zhao Xuan uses the power of Autumn's Decay, he inflicts damage by amplifying the power of the metal element.

Using the power of the Winter Solstice burial is to amplify the power of water to inflict damage.

This involves another combination of the power of the Four Symbols and the Five Elements.

The power of the Four Symbols is tangible but intangible, so it can imbue its own form with the power of the Five Elements, thus amplifying the damage caused by the power of the Five Elements.

The form of the Four Symbols' power is more powerful than that of the Five Elements' power.

The power of the Five Elements is a material-level power, therefore its spirituality is extremely low.

Even at the highest level of spiritual power in the Five Elements, it is merely instinct.

It's just because the level is so high that even instinct is extremely powerful.

However, the power of the four elements represents a kind of order, just like the law, which is impartial but human beings are compassionate.

Order has no regulators, and in order to be effective, it must maintain a certain degree of flexibility; therefore, order must have its own spirit.

In other words, the power of the Four Symbols possesses its own spirituality.

The instinctive pursuit is toward perfection, while the spiritual pursuit is toward survival and strength.

Therefore, when the power of the Four Symbols drives the power of the Five Elements, one can obtain tremendous blessings.

That is, to use the form of the Four Symbols to drive the substance of the Five Elements.

The power of the Five Elements also has its own form, but the form of the Five Elements is shape and form.

The "form" in the Four Symbols refers to shape, form, and situation.

The forms of the Four Symbols are more powerful than those of the Five Elements.

The Azure Dragon's form is not highly compatible with the metal element in the Five Elements, but even so, the low-level Azure Dragon form amplifies the destructive power by three times.

The destruction caused by metal is more direct, so Zhao Xuan used the power of destruction to conduct the experiment. If he had used the power of emptiness, it should have been able to achieve five times the enhancement.

However, the enhancement to the Black and White Yin-Yang Mystic Light and the Body-Immobilizing Divine Power is not as significant.

After all, once the five elements are combined, they contain an order of mutual generation and restraint, and thus possess powerful spirituality.

Therefore, with the initial power at the current level, its Azure Dragon form is insufficient to empower them.

All things in the world originated from the primordial chaos, and nature can also return to the primordial chaos.

The key is to find that point of convergence.

For Zhao Xuan, this point is the Four Symbols and the Five Elements.

Of course, the reason Zhao Xuan was able to do this was because the power within his body was basically obtained through the transformation of golden flowers into spirits.

Although Zhao Xuan could not control the power of Wuji, he was imbued with its aura after using the supernatural power.

This gave Zhao Xuan the prerequisite for the fusion of powers.

This gave Zhao Xuan a deeper understanding of the essence of luck.

As one of the fundamental forces in the human and immortal realms, once they are recognized and utilized by living beings...

The power of fortune has already been given form or substance.

They can then be categorized into the Four Symbols or the Five Elements.

Under normal circumstances, the power of fortune can be directly transformed into cultivation level. The essence of cultivation level is the power of the Three Treasures, which is a fusion of the quality of a certain power.

This quality is a kind of power of the Five Elements.

In fact, all the powers currently used by the five races are the power of the Five Elements and its variants.

This includes the power of wind and thunder, the power of the sun, and the power of the moon.

The so-called variants are the addition of the power of the Five Elements or the Four Symbols, which are not single attributes.

For example, the power of wind and thunder: wind is generated by the interaction of different energies, and thunder is generated by the interaction of yin and yang.

In other words, wind and thunder are formed in the same way, but the two or more types of energy that generate wind and thunder are opposing forces.

In addition, the power of the Three Treasures is also the power that sustains the survival of living beings, and strictly speaking, it also belongs to the reproductive Azure Dragon among the Four Symbols.

Therefore, the essence of the power of fortune is also a variant that is a fusion of the power of the four symbols and the power of the five elements.

Then Zhao Xuan thought of humanity.

From this perspective, the struggle between humanity and nature for the power to govern the world is nothing short of begging for food while holding a golden bowl.

As long as humanity encompasses enough living beings and possesses high enough wisdom, it can completely bring the Great Dao into its cognition and reduce the Great Dao to its own level of understanding.

Then Zhao Xuan understood a lot.

Why did Hongjun exist in the prehistoric web novels of my past life? He was a true protector of the Dao.

Without protectors, humanity might indeed bring everything into the realm of cognition.

So, will there be protectors of the Heavenly Dao in this world?

The protectors of the Heavenly Dao must be the strongest cultivators in this world.

What kind of realm would that be, the twelfth or thirteenth realm?

The Great Way is selfless, while the Three Paths may have selfish motives, but their selfishness lies in maintaining their own order.

As long as the order is not disrupted, the three paths must act in accordance with the rules.

The protectors, on the other hand, are completely autonomous beings, and all living beings have selfish desires.

Such an existence does not infringe upon their interests, but once someone does, things become unpredictable.

If Zhao Xuan continues to cultivate in the Immortal Realm, he will inevitably clash with it.

Zhao Xuan then wondered if the fact that many powerful beings of the human race left the Immortal Realm was to avoid conflict with the protectors.

The more Zhao Xuan thought about it, the more terrified he felt.

However, even with Zhao Xuan's current level of power, which combines imperial power with popular power and divine power to deduce, he can only touch upon certain aspects of the Human Emperor's throne.

Zhao Xuan's first thought was to run away like those who left the Immortal Realm.

But he immediately dismissed the thought, realizing that he wasn't even qualified to leave the Immortal Realm at his current level.

There's no point in thinking about these things now.

Zhao Xuan used his divine sense to investigate the situation in the fishing village and found that the village's energy had changed. The life energy and death energy had reached a balance. Once the life and death energy merged, it would become the fortune.

Then Zhao Xuan's divine sense detected that Zhao Tianxiong and the other person had entered the school and were receiving education from Wang Yangming and others.

Individuals do not generate fortune, but when a group generates fortune, it is distributed to individuals.

Individuals interact with each other and with other groups, and this interaction leads to communication. As the flow of energy occurs, the individual's energy decreases where it should decrease and increases where it should increase.

After an individual's fortune grows stronger, it will be fed back to the original group, and the group's fortune will grow stronger as a result.

When a group grows to a certain level, its fortune develops spirituality, enabling it to communicate with and protect individuals.

This is the origin of the Divine Dragon of Fortune.

If it weren't for the path to the Mythical Great Luo, Zhao Xuan would have wanted to integrate all his power into the Divine Dragon of Fortune.

At that time, riding the auspicious dragon, they will be absolutely unstoppable, killing gods and Buddhas alike.

Seeing that everything was normal in the fishing village, Zhao Xuan left behind a clone with its own consciousness and thought, while his main body flew to a small island in the East China Sea, set up an array, and began to enter seclusion.

This retreat had no specific purpose; it was simply a state of mind conducive to meditation and spiritual practice.

Zhao Xuan has successfully cultivated all five realms of the Sacred Path.

He single-handedly confronted the Eight Heavenly Courts, snatched their teeth from their jaws, and reaped enormous rewards.

Among them are the states of mind of courage, prosperity, and glory, which can be cultivated to perfection or have achieved the three holy states of mind.

Later, he further integrated into the worldly state of mind and achieved the perfection of the holy path.

However, even with the perfected state of mind of a saint, it was not enough to control Zhao Xuan's current power.

After all, the Path of Sainthood corresponds to the Sainthood Realm, and the Perfected State of the Path of Sainthood is the power to wield the Perfected State of Sainthood.

This "perfect state of sainthood" refers to immeasurable supernatural powers, the power of the fifteen azure dragons of the Lesser Perfect Saint Body.

It is basically equivalent to the power of an emperor like Chang Xu.

However, the power that Zhao Xuan could mobilize was simply too great.

Although it requires leveraging external resources.

However, this kind of leverage basically requires Zhao Xuan to pay no price, so what's the difference between it and his own strength?

As long as he is on Earth, Zhao Xuan can activate the Seven Stars Severing Fortune Array.

This power far exceeds the limits of the power that can be mobilized by the perfect state of mind of the Holy Path.

Therefore, if Zhao Xuan wants to stay on Earth, he needs to improve his mental state.

This raises a question: the next step after the Sacred Path Mindset is the Sacred Emperor Mindset.

The Holy Emperor's Mindset is actually a fusion of the Holy Way Mindset and the Imperial Way Mindset.

The state of mind of the sage is the five hearts of the sage.

The imperial mindset is the imperial way of the nine heavens.

That is, Yunxiao, Bixiao, Qingxiao, Chixiao, Jingxiao, Shenxiao, Yuxiao, Zixiao, and Xuanxiao.

After Zhao Xuan achieved perfection in cultivating the Sacred Dao Mindset, he wanted to cultivate the Imperial Dao Nine Heavens.

However, Zhao Xuan found it difficult to connect with Jiu Xiao.

After all, Zhao Xuan's understanding of the Nine Heavens was merely the division of the atmosphere.

It's really hard to grasp that profound and mysterious state of mind.

Even the five realms of the Holy Path are achievements, not cultivation.

Achievement is a natural realization, while cultivation is a process of creating something from nothing.

Therefore, Zhao Xuan wanted to find a path or a new mindset system.

While Zhao Xuan's main body entered seclusion, his consciousness clone continuously reported the situation in the fishing village.

It must be said that Wang Yangming and others did indeed have some skill.

Don't say that although Zhao Tianxiong and the others were corrupted by malice, they were still children at heart.

Leaving aside how the methods of cultivators are so enviable to ordinary people, the various methods in the five schools of thought are enough to make people yearn for them.

For example, Confucianism is not the kind of pedantic Confucianism I had in my previous life. Nowadays, a Confucian gentleman is supposed to master the Six Arts: rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy, and mathematics. If he is not proficient in even one of them, he will be laughed at.

Leaving aside the four arts of rites, music, calligraphy, and mathematics, even just the two arts of archery and horsemanship can be explored in great detail.

Archery is not limited to archery; pitch-pot is the simplest form of archery.

Children are at an age where they are competitive, and pitch-pot, a sport that does not cause harm, is fun, and can produce winners and losers, is very popular with them.

"Yu" does not mean riding horses or driving chariots, but rather summarizing the characteristics of various beasts and then subduing them for one's own use.

There is a legend from a previous life that Gongye Chang, one of the seventy-two disciples of Confucius, was fluent in bird language.

Moreover, this is a fantasy world.

Which child can resist an obedient pet?

The Mohists were also capable of creating all sorts of mechanical devices; what child could resist such mechanical toys?

As a result, Wang Yangming and others became increasingly important figures in the minds of children.

The words of Wang Yangming and others were gradually remembered by the children, and then subtly influenced the adults in their families when they returned home.

The more the truth is debated, the clearer it becomes, and gradually the entire fishing village began to develop values ​​of benevolence, righteousness, wisdom, courage, and trustworthiness.

The Five Virtues can be broken down into several types of virtues: loyalty, filial piety, propriety, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom, and trustworthiness; gentleness, kindness, respect, frugality, and humility.

The reason why the Five Elements, Seven Stars, and Twelve Earthly Branches have been passed down is because they are linked to innate morality, which is why they have gained the recognition of the world.

A gradually complete moral framework of goodness was established throughout the fishing village.

As for the four evils—greed, anger, ignorance, and resentment—these are the selfish desires of the human heart, and since they are selfish desires, they are difficult to show to others.

Unless the environment is filled with selfishness, someone will take the lead in removing the fig leaf and exposing their evil nakedly to the public.

Then they demonstrate that they gain enormous benefits from evil.

However, the four evil incarnations were a step too slow, thinking only of their own desires and failing to make evil morality the mainstream.

Because evil moral values ​​become the norm, they find it difficult to gain benefits from others.

This is why evil is difficult to become mainstream; when people with selfish desires spread their selfish thoughts, they will damage their own interests.

Zhao Xuan suddenly realized that things seemed a bit unfair; the fishing village was simply too small, so small that the profits generated could barely satisfy the two families of the Four Evils.

Because of their own selfish desires, these four evil beings will never allow a second person to share in their benefits.

Then their ideas will not spread, and their influence will be limited to the two parties.

Those who gain the way help more, those who lose the way help few.

Conversely, those who receive much help gain the Way, while those who receive little help lose the Way.

The only chance for the four evil clones to turn the tide is to integrate into the community and develop the fishing village.

It is said that when the granaries are full, people know etiquette; when they are well-fed and clothed, they know honor and shame.

However, there is also the saying that when people are well-fed and warm, they think of lustful desires, and when they are hungry and cold, they think of stealing.

Before Wang Yangming and his group arrived, the fishing village was not exactly starving and freezing, but the villagers were already harboring thoughts of theft.

However, before it could be put into practice, Wang Yangming arrived. He brought hope to everyone and calmed their desire to steal.

For these four evil entities to turn the tables, they must ensure that the villagers are free from any threat to their livelihoods, and even become quite wealthy.

Such an affluent environment can cause people to lose their ambition and give rise to selfish desires such as indulging in wine, women, wealth, and power.

This leads to them seizing each other's wealth, which in turn generates negative emotions such as hatred, resentment, jealousy, and anger.

He then secretly instigated conflict among the villagers, causing them to die in battles fought for their own selfish desires.

This fueled even greater hatred, forcing the villagers to continue killing even after they came to their senses.

After all, if you advocate filial piety, brotherly love, loyalty and righteousness, then you must avenge your parents, brothers, sisters, wife and friends.

Zhao Xuan's consciousness clone quietly observed, and indeed the four evil clones began to secretly help, ensuring that the villagers who went out to sea to fish always had a great catch.

Gradually, the entire fishing village began to prosper.
