Chapter 132: Stepping on the Xuanguan, hitting the Niwan, the late stage of Bigu!
Li Daoxuan closed his eyes and entered a state of meditation.
The lake of my heart becomes increasingly calm, like a mirror, reflecting the bright moon, spotless.
He mobilized all the magic power in his body, rose from the Huangting, soared upwards, passed the Jiang Palace, hit the Niwan, and knocked on the Zifu, just like a Kunpeng spreading its wings and a fish leaping over the Dragon Gate!
With a roar, the Niwan Xuanguan at the center of his eyebrows began to tremble continuously, as if a mountain was about to collapse, or Daxia was about to fall.
At the same time, Li Daoxuan felt an inexplicable throbbing in the depths of his soul, as if some shackles were loosening little by little.
Li Daoxuan made another effort and knocked on the Dragon Gate. Finally, he broke the door open with a loud bang. The pure magic power rushed to his dantian like a flood.
He suddenly felt that the sky was vast and the earth was broad, and everything seemed clear.
In a trance, his mind fell into an illusion, surrounded by mountains, rocks and vegetation. He sat upright on a cliff, with the sky thousands of feet below him. The mountain breeze blew, and his robes fluttered, but he remained calm.
Li Daoxuan knew that the test of cultivation had finally arrived.
I don’t know what kind of inner demons he will encounter this time.
An old and wise voice sounded, like an immortal pointing the way.
"To become an immortal, one must have great concentration!"
Li Daoxuan raised his five hearts to the sky and held the Dao seal in his hands, not moving at all.
After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard. It was actually a ferocious tiger. It walked towards Li Daoxuan, and a strong murderous aura swept over him.
The tiger came to Li Daoxuan, opened its bloody mouth towards him, and was about to bite him.
Li Daoxuan remained motionless.
The tiger seemed disappointed and turned away.
Not long after, a giant python crawled over again. It climbed onto Li Daoxuan's body and wrapped around him. The cold touch was enough to scare anyone.
But Li Daoxuan remained unmoved.
He knew that these were just illusions testing his concentration.
Sure enough, when the python saw that he had no reaction, it finally left.
At this time, the wise voice sounded again.
"Dashan, you have passed the test, why don't you quickly sit on the lotus platform and embark on the road to immortality!"
A twelve-level golden lotus platform appeared before Li Daoxuan's eyes, exuding infinite temptation, as if as long as he sat on it , he could obtain infinite benefits and become a Buddha.
Those who practice Taoism may be able to see through the temptations of lust and ignore tigers and poisonous snakes, but they find it difficult to resist the desire to become immortal.
After all, if you don’t want to become an immortal, why bother practicing Taoism?
Li Daoxuan was still sitting cross-legged, with no intention of moving at all.
He knew that this was the final test, and the tiger and python before were just prelude.
Seeing that Li Daoxuan was unmoved, the voice gradually became a little exasperated, but no matter what he said, Li Daoxuan remained calm and silent like a mountain.
…
In the room.
Zhang Qianyang watched as his disciple's body began to emanate wisps of pure energy, which exuded a mysterious and pure Taoist charm. He secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"This kid has great self-control and has made it through. Girl, you don't have to worry anymore."
Chen Ziyu lowered her eyes and said calmly, "I'm not worried."
Zhang Qianyang shook his head and smiled, then said: "Okay, he has been in a trance for a whole day and night, and we don't know when he will wake up. Let's prepare a surprise for him."
…
When Li Daoxuan woke up again, the room was empty.
His eyes became exceptionally bright and sharp, his long hair was as black as ink, his skin glowed like jade, and his temperament became even more extraordinary.
Niwan, also known as Zifu and upper dantian, is located at the center of the eyebrows. It is the place where the soul is hidden and the last level of the Bigu realm. After breaking through it, the soul will become more resilient and powerful.
Buzz~
A fly was flying around the room.
Li Daoxuan focused his eyes and could actually see traces of its wings flapping, as if in slow motion.
This is a benefit gained after breaking through the Niwan. His perception is greatly enhanced. In addition, he can remember everything he sees, his comprehension is greatly increased, and his learning ability has been greatly improved.
If it were in later generations, I would probably be able to easily get several doctoral degrees.
Xue Rengui's archery skills are amazing, but if Li Daoxuan is willing, he can start learning archery from now on, and within a few days, he will be able to surpass his opponent.
Li Daoxuan closed his eyes and could feel that the three dantians, upper, middle and lower, were connected in a line like stars in a row. The essence and qi were constantly nourishing the spirit and strengthening the soul.
Master once said that the upper, middle and lower dantians are like three nails in the human body, locking the soul firmly in the body.
If one wants to cultivate into the Yin God realm, one needs to pull out these three nails, and then let the soul jump out of the body, like jumping from a building and soaring into the sky!
By then, the soul can travel through heaven and earth, and the moon's essence can be used as medicine. The speed of cultivation will far exceed that of refining essence into qi.
Theoretically speaking, Li Daoxuan has now opened up the three major gates, and the nail has been removed. He can leave his body and enter the Yin Shen realm at any time.
But in fact, if Li Daoxuan really did this, what awaits him would be the scattering of his soul and death!
Many casual cultivators did not understand the trick and died at this step.
His master had sternly warned him that after breaking through the Niwan, he must not be impatient for quick results and let his soul leave his body, because when he entered the Yin Shen realm, there would be a Yin wind disaster.
The soul that leaves the body needs to withstand the impact of the dark wind between heaven and earth. If it can hold on, it can travel between heaven and earth and refine the moonlight. If it can't hold on, its soul will be scattered.
Therefore, after breaking through the Niwan, the soul cannot leave the body immediately, and needs to wait for a hundred days. During this period, the essence in the lower Dantian and the qi and blood in the middle Dantian will continuously nourish and strengthen the soul, making Li Daoxuan's soul become more resilient.
After a hundred days, this growth will slowly stop, and only then will you be able to impact the Yin Shen realm and face the Yin Feng calamity!
This is called building the foundation for 100 days.
Many people see these four words in Taoist texts and think that it means to use a hundred days to polish the body. In fact, this is the wrong direction and is going in the opposite direction.
This is the difference between having a master and not having one. The master leads you to the door, and the practice is up to you. But if you can't get in, then no matter how hard you practice, it will be in vain.
Standing in front of the window, Li Daoxuan looked up at the eternal bright moon, a little absent-minded.
In the blink of an eye, he had been in this world for a year. He had gone from being a wandering Taoist to the ninth-generation disciple of Mount Longhu, and also became a monk in the late stage of Bigu.
Suddenly, he saw flames rising in the distance and could faintly hear cheers.
Li Daoxuan was somewhat surprised. Could it be that Longyou County was on fire? But if it was on fire, how could there be laughter?
He jumped lightly, his body floating like a feather, rising up like a cloud, and landed on the roof of Qingniu Temple.
When he saw the scene in the distance, Li Daoxuan was stunned.
Bonfires were lit in the courtyards of thousands of households. People gathered around the bonfires to watch, and the children clapped and laughed, looking very excited.
Li Daoxuan suddenly remembered that his master had said that this was called "Ting Liao", which was one of the customs of celebrating New Year's Eve in the Tang Dynasty.
New Year's Eve is the Spring Festival of the Tang Dynasty. On this day, every household will light a bonfire in the courtyard to drive away bad luck and bring good luck to the new year.
Afterwards, the family will enjoy a sumptuous dinner together and then stay up until dawn.
Li Daoxuan stood on a high place, looking at the burning bonfires and listening to the laughter of thousands of families. For a moment, he felt a little melancholy and sighed.
It gave rise to an inexplicable feeling of loneliness and alienation.
At this time a voice sounded.
"You little brat, why are you standing so high? Come down and help!"
Li Daoxuan was startled when he saw his master holding a kitchen knife and with black smoke on his face, shouting at him.
Another figure walked out of the kitchen. It was Chen Ziyu.
She changed into the most ordinary thorny cloth skirt, tied up her long hair, rolled up her sleeves, revealing her slender white wrists, and held a large spoon in one hand.
"The mutton... the mutton seems to be mushy..."
She looked at Li Daoxuan, her snow-white face stained with soot, and there was a hint of confusion in her cold voice.
Obviously, the first experience of trying to cook was not a very pleasant one.
Li Daoxuan was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter, his voice inexplicably light and cheerful.
"Master, Sister Yu, I'm here!"
