Above the East Sea
Chen Chunan comprehended the wonders of the Heart Monkey's crafting of armor and the interplay of the five elements.
On one hand, it confirms the cultivation method of internal alchemy that he had seen in his previous life.
"Primordial Qi is the spiritual root; the Great Dao is inseparable from the Mysterious Female Gate. Comprehend the profound principles and return to the original source; grasp the duality and your life will endure."
"Previously, I understood that the virtue of Earth should be about holding to both sides and using the middle way, but I never quite grasped its meaning. Today, I have finally understood it completely. Earth represents purity and stillness, Earth of the Earth element represents movement, and Earth of the Earth element represents stillness. One movement and one stillness, one yin and one yang, is called holding to both sides. Maintaining purity and stillness, not being moved by external things, and not being trapped in stillness, is called using the middle way."
After Chen Chunan fully comprehended the virtue of earth, the qi of the spleen earth was transformed into a deity wearing a star crown, red shoes, a robe of yellow clouds and cranes, holding a jade tablet, a seven-star golden sword, and white jade pendants.
As soon as the deity appeared, it bowed deeply to Chen Chunan and said, "I am grateful for the grace of creation bestowed upon me."
Chen Chunan returned the greeting: "We are one, there's no need for such formalities."
The deity said, "Good."
It then transformed into a stream of light and entered Chen Chunan's spleen.
After manifesting the Earth Virtue Star Lord, Chen Chunan sighed slightly, "Originally, Venus was supposed to be the first to take shape, but unexpectedly, the Wood Virtue and Earth Virtue manifested first. The wonder of fate is beyond words."
Chen Chunan was in a great mood and then continued to verify what he had learned.
But as he examined the situation, he realized something was very wrong.
After a cultivator gathers the five elements, the Mysterious Pearl takes on a form. An infant emerges from the Mysterious Pearl, and only then can the Mysterious Gate be opened to receive the ancestral Qi.
When one cultivates the Elixir of Rejuvenation, one can merely draw upon a stream of ancestral Qi to solidify the three treasures of essence, Qi, and spirit.
The Southern School's founder, Zhang Ziyang, passed away peacefully at Tiantai. If he could obtain a continuous supply of ancestral energy like Chen Chunan, even achieving longevity in the mortal world would be nothing more than a trifle.
Looking at it this way, Chen Chunan's cultivation is indeed very different. Ever since he cultivated the Elixir of Rejuvenation, this mysterious gate has never been closed.
His primordial energy was constantly cleansing his physical body, which allowed him to contend with Chi Mianxi, a dragon, even when he was only at the second stage of the Core Formation.
His lifespan is immeasurable; Chen Chunan himself doesn't know how many more years he can live.
This is quite different from the order of the Golden Elixir; his Heavenly Gate and Earthly Gate have not yet been locked!
Fortunately, this lock was not closed, otherwise, with Chen Chunan's current cultivation level, he would not be able to digest this ancestral energy.
At that time, they might simply pass away peacefully, wouldn't that be a tragedy?
"My restless mind is acting strangely, the Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) is acting strangely, and even the Xuan Guan acupoint (a point on the back of the body) is not working properly. What kind of path am I cultivating? It feels like the heavens are intentionally making cultivation easier for me!"
After Chen Chunan finished speaking, his eyes were filled with seriousness.
the other side
Having escaped and transformed into Sha Wujing, Mingxing now wants to find Chen Chunan again.
That clone had already reached the Nascent Soul stage and possessed the Eye of Heavenly Will, making its strength even greater than his own. He had no way to restrain it in the slightest.
The rhubarb tree and its followers, far away in the Western Regions, were still too weak to offer any help.
He didn't have many friends in this world who could help him, so he had no choice but to go to Chen Chunan.
But after searching for a while, he learned that Chen Chunan had already gone out.
"He's gone out? What am I going to do! If he delays even a day, who knows how much bloodshed he will commit. Kill Wujing, kill Wujing, even if there's only a sliver of hope left, this kind of bloodshed is beyond my physical strength to withstand. No, I have to go find Chen Chunan. He can withstand the tribulation and perhaps capture Sha Wujing."
Mingxing wasn't worried at all that Chen Chunan wouldn't agree to go to her place.
The internal alchemy path draws heavily on Buddhist teachings, and he himself is well-versed in many Buddhist doctrines. I don't believe Chen Chunan isn't envious.
Of the five eyes and six supernatural powers in Buddhism, he only attained the wisdom eye. He could not obtain the other four eyes and six supernatural powers because his understanding of Buddhism was not profound enough.
Buddhism differs from Taoism; they do not practice divination. As for Chen Chunan's whereabouts, the monk Mingxing is completely clueless.
Just as he was feeling anxious, a powerful aura faintly emanated from the East Sea.
This is precisely the movement of Chen Chunan transforming the Earth De Star Lord.
Taoist methods!
Mingxing's eyes lit up, and he immediately flew towards the location of the Qi.
Meanwhile, Sha Wujing, whom the monk Mingxing was keeping in mind, was heading towards Jiangzhou.
...
Jiangzhou City
The rainbow light of the Dharma Lord fell into the city, causing countless cultivators to exclaim in surprise.
The three disciples guarding the gate were on high alert.
"He's at least a Nascent Soul True Monarch. Several True Monarchs have gone to the East Sea to attend the Ten Thousand Immortals Treasures Conference. What are we going to do? We're no match for him on our own!"
"Preserving ourselves is of utmost importance. This person is not someone we can defeat by force. Preserving ourselves is not our fault."
"Senior brother is absolutely right! Let's wait and see!"
"This...this isn't quite right, is it?"
"Junior Sister Lin Jing, why are you so stubborn? This is beyond our ability to defeat. Forcibly stopping it is no different from a moth flying into a flame. It would be better to keep your body useful for the future."
Lin Jing was one of the three disciples!
She had somehow joined the Sword Sect and was now serving as its guardian.
Although Lin Jing felt awkward after being persuaded, she still agreed with what her senior brother said.
After the three discussed their plan, they secretly took out a teleportation talisman, ready to escape at any time.
However, the cultivation level of the others was only at the Golden Core stage, while Fa Qing was already a cultivator at the late Nascent Soul stage.
He had already heard their words clearly.
Since these men were so afraid of death, they immediately hatched a plan.
After using various methods to conceal their presence, they set up a magic array to block the view of outsiders.
Then a golden hand suddenly materialized from behind his head, seizing the three Golden Core disciples with lightning speed.
Lin Jing, who was shopping not far from the city gate, was also horrified.
He then hurriedly found a place to hide.
The three of them suddenly fell into the hands of the Law Minister, their faces contorted with horror.
"Please spare me, senior! Please spare me, senior!"
"Your Majesty, have mercy! We dare not offend you, please forgive us!"
Although Lin Jing was shocked, she had been proud since childhood and could not beg for mercy, so she remained silent.
The other two disciples, fearing for their lives, begged for mercy.
Fa Qing looked at the three of them with disdain: "Cultivating in the wilderness, they can't even distinguish between Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation, yet they keep calling themselves True Monarchs. If I didn't still need them, I would have killed them."
He looked arrogantly at the disciple with the highest cultivation level: "I ask, you answer. If you dare to lie, I will annihilate you, body and soul!"
The disciple being questioned immediately nodded vigorously, "This junior will answer to the best of my knowledge!"
The Minister of Justice was quite satisfied with the man's attitude and nodded, asking, "Is Chen Chunan from this area?"
Lin Jing and the two disciples were suddenly startled: they were actually after Chen Chunan?
Lin Jing's heart was filled with excitement. Could it be the Daoist sect of the Central Region?
Lin Jing didn't know the sect, but she knew that Chen Chunan had once made enemies with the Dao sect.
Before she could think further, the captured disciple immediately nodded and said, "True Lord Chen originally came from another state, but now that he has settled here, he is considered a native of Jiangzhou."
After answering, the disciple immediately shut his mouth and dared not say another word.
Seeing that his disciple was fairly obedient, Fa Qing was even more satisfied: "Where is the Chen clan located? What is their strength? How many Nascent Soul cultivators and Void Refinement cultivators do they have?"
Nascent Soul Transformation? Void Refinement?
All three of them looked bewildered.
Has Chen Zhenjun alarmed even the patriarch of the Dao Yi Sect?
Sure enough, the disciple replied the next moment: "True Lord Chen is the strongest person in the Chen clan; the others are merely at the Foundation Establishment stage."
Upon hearing this, Fa Qing felt a sense of relief. He guessed that the Nascent Soul and Void Refinement stage had overestimated the cultivation level of Chen Chunan's clansmen based on Chen Chunan's cultivation level.
Looking at it now, it's just as I initially thought—a bunch of revisions.
Just as the judge was about to ask for Chen's address.
A rainbow of light came from the east, and within that light appeared a handsome monk with a kind face.
But his words were chilling: "Using external forces to evade the lock of fate? I'll take your disciple first and see if you dare to come out! If you dare to come out, I'll start killing you, Yu Chen!"
