Zifu, Huangting and Yuchi.
It is called the Tao seed and also the place where the Tao is planted.
Take the Tianxuan Realm for example. Except for special cases like Xu Chong who have cultivated his inner demons to a very high level, ordinary people are absolutely unable to feel these three Tao seeds before the process of planting the Tao begins.
In fact, the vast majority of people who are stuck at the peak of body cleansing and can never cultivate the Dao, believe that not everyone possesses the three great Dao seeds, and only a very small number of chosen ones have this thing in their bodies that can allow them to make further progress.
The Daqing royal family also conducted research on this, but the final conclusion was specious.
Because before the Tao seeding process begins, no external means can detect whether there is a Tao seed in the practitioner's body.
As for the cultivator himself, no matter whether he can succeed in the end, when the opportunity comes, he will naturally be able to sense the place to plant the Tao. Otherwise, he will not be able to sense it at all.
To some extent, this is equivalent to Schrödinger's cat. If you start to cultivate the Tao, it naturally proves that you have the Tao seed. If you have not started to cultivate the Tao, no one can be sure.
Originally, Xu Chong didn't care about this . After all, he and his relatives and friends had long passed that stage.
It was not until the last time he treated Huo Linger's injuries that he discovered that the strength in her body had inexplicably increased, but he could not find the source, that Xu Chong began to take it seriously.
That night, he quietly returned to Baiyujing, and combined the two powers of light and space in the form of nothingness to explore many peaks of body cleansing in succession.
For most of them, Xu Chong's investigation results were the same as those of the Daqing royal family, with no discoveries.
There were only two who suddenly sensed the opportunity to cultivate the Tao during Xu Chong's investigation and began to cultivate the Tao.
The situation where nothing could be detected in the previous second but appeared clearly in the next second proved that the Tao Seed was probably not present in the human body from the beginning.
No wonder no one can explain it clearly.
But in this case, there is no need to worry about the question of "whether everyone has Tao seeds".
So Xu Chong turned his attention back to the Five Spirits Realm.
Since the human race in the Tianxuan Realm can draw out such a miraculous power as the Dao Seed, is it possible for the human race in the Five Spirits Realm to do the same?
After all, they are all human, just with slightly different body structures.
Moreover, Huo Linger's positive yang energy suddenly increased inexplicably, and it looked like it was the result of the reverse transformation of the power of the Tao Seed.
Therefore, Xu Chong suddenly had an idea and asked Huo Bufan to ask a few people to personally supervise the training.
Of course, Huo Bufan and other supreme elders all knew that this so-called cultivation was essentially a human experiment. It was just that with Xu Chong there, there was no danger.
If one really wants to integrate a set of skills that are applicable to both worlds, it is definitely not as simple as practicing the two systems together.
Only these five people were completely kept in the dark.
Therefore, although the four people were forced by Xu Chong to assume the posture of cultivation, their hearts were filled with fear, and their eyes were looking towards Xu Chong hard, trying to see clearly the condition of Huo Linger.
But Xu Chong ignored them completely, still staring at the unconscious Huo Linger with shock in his eyes.
“Incredible…”
“Incredible…”
"The Dao seeds can actually be arranged like this?"
Because he was paying attention the whole time this time, Xu Chong clearly captured the source of Huo Linger's sudden increase in strength.
Although they only appeared for a moment, they were undoubtedly three Tao seeds.
Moreover, the manifestations of these three Tao seeds are indeed the same as those of the people in the Tianxuan Realm. The Purple Palace has the appearance of buildings, the Yellow Court has the appearance of dark yellow clouds, and the Jade Pool has the appearance of pool water pipes.
But here’s the thing…
These three are not where they are supposed to be!
You should know that Zifu is at the center of the eyebrows, Huangting is at the heart, and Yuchi is under the abdomen. This has been the law of the Tianxuan Realm for countless years, a law that no one has ever shaken.
But in Huo Linger's body, these three Tao seeds were all above the Qi Sea, located on a horizontal plane, arranged and rotating in a V-shape.
“This is not right…”
"If the Qi Sea occupies the position where the Jade Pool should be, then only the Jade Pool should move. How come the other two Dao Seeds also changed their positions?"
"Could it be that the location of the Dao Seed is not fixed? For the Tianxuan Realm, the three most suitable locations are the center of the eyebrows, the heart, and the lower abdomen , while for the Wuling Realm, the location between the heart and the lower abdomen is the most suitable?"
"Or... the three Dao seeds appeared here to fight against the natal rune in the Qi Sea?"
"etc!"
Xu Chong, who was in deep thought, suddenly woke up.
The most fundamental problem arises.
Why does the Dao Seed help with strength, rather than the power of the divine text?
And why must the power of divine text conflict with physical strength?
"It seems that we can't just use people in the Five Spirit Realm for the experiment."
After thinking it over again and again, Xu Chong did not dare to jump to a conclusion, so he stretched out his hand and absorbed all the strength in Huo Linger's body.
"Hum..."
Huo Ling'er murmured and opened her eyes faintly, "Did I faint again just now?"
After these words were spoken, the other four people breathed a sigh of relief.
At least no one is wrong.
However, the following conversation made them nervous again.
"Power...where did my power go?"
Huo Linger landed lightly on the ground, and for a moment she felt as if she had lost her parents.
“Failed.”
Xu Chong said calmly, "In addition to the imbalance of yin and yang, there is a more serious problem - the power of divine text and the power of strength are essentially incompatible. Once the two forces meet, it will cause a full-scale conflict."
"ah!"
Huo Linger exclaimed, her disappointment turning into disappointment: "Doesn't that mean that we can't practice the Tianxuan Realm technique at all?"
"In theory, yes."
Xu Chong did not hide it.
"Um... Senior, if that's the case, can you let us go?"
Mu Zirong spoke.
The other three didn't say anything, but their messy moods showed that they had the same idea.
"I can let you go, but you have to continue your training."
Xu Chong waved his hand and dispersed the breeze that was restraining everyone.
"Do you want to continue?"
Jin Xiaoyu turned around first and asked in confusion: "Since it is destined that the two powers cannot coexist, what is the point of us continuing to practice?"
"yes……"
The most honest Tu Desheng nodded.
"Aren't you curious about how Huo Ling'er, who has just achieved the first level of enlightenment, can grow strong enough to fight against the power of the divine text?"
Xu Chong asked.
Several people fell into deep thought.
"I know, I know."
In order to save her face from the failure of her training, Huo Linger immediately jumped up and offered her treasure: "Another unknown force intervened and greatly enhanced my strength."
"Another one?"
"Unknown?"
“…”
The four of them were stunned and started thinking about it one after another.
"It is this power that may become an opportunity for the fusion of the two worlds' skills."
Xu Chong nodded, "So, I need to know, is it only Huo Ling'er who has this power, or is it in everyone's body... Of course, although I am here to protect you from getting hurt, it is not a pleasant feeling to faint after all. Those who are afraid can go back and ask the master to send someone else."
These words contain some elements of provocation.
They are all young at heart, if they can tolerate it, there must be something wrong.
That’s what Xu Chong thought.
However……
"Senior underestimated us."
Mu Zirong took a step forward, his tone slightly cold: "Since we can find an opportunity for the fusion of the skills, let alone not getting hurt, even if we will die if we try once, we will never back down."
"That's right."
Tu Sanshan's attitude was better, but he was neither humble nor arrogant: "The disciples of the Five Spirits Palace may have embarked on the path of cultivation for themselves and their families, but after truly starting to practice, everything is only for one thing, the Five Spirits Realm."
"It's not just the Five Spirits Palace disciples."
Jin Xiaoyu lifted the hair beside her ear and smiled, "Anyone in the Five Spirit Realm would not hesitate if they encountered such a situation."
Narcissus didn't say anything, but she had already assumed the posture of practicing again.
“…”
Xu Chong was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed out loud, "Okay, okay, okay."
It should be that the information about the way of divine texts and the evil demons from outside the domain is widely popularized and has become common knowledge, so that people in the Five Spirit Realm have a clear concept of "foreign enemies" since childhood, and thus become more united.
But no matter what, these people have already been recognized by Xu Chong.
The original contempt for the Five Spirits Realm due to its "seclusion in a corner" also disappeared.
Let me ask you, if even the middle-level disciples have such a spirit of dedication, how could the Five Spirits Realm be as simple as it seems on the surface?
It is possible that countless sages had walked out of the Five Spirits Realm and opened up more ways of survival in the vast ruins, but they all failed.
In addition, when it comes to dealing with nothingness, the Five Spirits Realm must have many hidden arrangements, and it is by no means as simple as a magic illusion formation that can only be used for bluffing.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Chong caught a glimpse of Huo Linger who had also walked back to her original position, and it seemed that she was planning to continue practicing Mingyu Jin.
"It has been confirmed that you have that power in your body. From now on until the fusion of the skills is successful, you don't need to continue practicing."
Xu Chong interrupted Huo Linger.
"Well……"
Huo Ling'er froze for a moment and scratched her head, "Then I can't just do nothing, right?"
"Go back and ask Huo Bufan to get the method to practice the Five Elements Divine Text."
A barely perceptible light flashed in Xu Chong's eyes, "I want to study it and find another way to break through."
"go back?"
Huo Linger couldn't help but turn her head to look southwest, and her face wrinkled into a chrysanthemum: "I want to fly for a month..."
“No need.”
Xu Chong waved his hand, activated the spatial authority, and said: "Take a step forward, and you can return to the Fire Spirit Palace."
This place is only tens of thousands of miles away from the Fire Spirit Palace, and it can be solved with a space crack.
As for why he didn't go there in person but let Huo Ling'er go...
After all, they are five different methods. Huo Bufan can only decide the attitude of the Fire Spirit Palace. For the others, he must discuss with the other four supreme elders.
"One step?! Return to Fire Spirit Palace?!"
Huo Linger was surprised and happy, her big eyes were bright and she looked around curiously at the position in front of her.
He lingered for a whole incense stick of time before finally disappearing.
Xu Chong curled his lips helplessly.
If she really couldn't see anything, I'm afraid this girl would study it for several days without stopping.
In this way, the six people on the top of the barren mountain became five.
Narcissus and the other three continued to practice the Tianxuan Realm skills. Xu Chong kept an eye on their practice while maintaining the space rift, waiting for the skills from the Wuling Palace to be delivered.
Five days later, Narcissus became the second person to break through to the first level.
As expected, the three great Dao seeds appeared again, strengthening the Taiyin power and forming a confrontation with the Water God Text.
This time, although Xu Chong also eliminated the strength in Narcissus' body, Narcissus' physique seemed to have taken a small step towards a pure yin body.
On the tenth day, Tu Desheng made a breakthrough.
On the eleventh day, Jin Xiaoyu broke through.
On the fourteenth day, Mu Zirong broke through.
Without exception, the power of Tao seeds appeared in the bodies of these three people, forming a situation where their physical strength confronted the power of divine text.
At this point it has basically been proven that even if not everyone in the Five Spirits Realm can trigger the Dao Seed, it is definitely not just a few who can.
On the fifteenth day, Huo Linger brought back the most core method of the Five Spirits Palace.
"You five have completed your mission."
After sitting for many days, Xu Chong stood up for the first time and swept his serious eyes over the faces of several people. "As for the fusion of the two realms' skills, I am already 50% sure... When the day comes that it succeeds, each of you will be a hero in the Five Spirits Realm."
The five of them exchanged glances and bowed together: "Master Jiang's name will be immortal in the Five Spirit Realm!"
Even though they were all working for the Five Spirits Realm and doing it more for the public good than for themselves, these five young men became so excited that their scalps were tingling just thinking about becoming heroes and leaving a strong mark in the history books.
Xu Chong was also numb.
What the hell, Master Jiang didn’t tell me that I had worked so hard on research, but in the end, my fellow villager would be immortalized?
Well, let it be immortal, it’s just a name anyway.
I am truly immortal...
Xu Chong comforted himself, then personally sent the five people back to their respective masters.
Huo Ling'er was easy to deal with, and she could just create a space crack.
The other four were not able to do so as the distance was too far and it would take who knows when they could fly, so they could only be escorted personally.
Everything went smoothly at the beginning, until only Narcissus was left.
"Your name is not Jiang Wang, right?"
Narcissus said softly, "And he shouldn't be that old."
"You are a little girl, don't ask about adults' affairs."
Xu Chong sneered.
"You should have noticed that, not to mention Huo Ling'er, Jin Xiaoyu and I are not the most talented disciples in our respective sects, but we were still chosen to come here."
Narcissus lowered her head and spoke in a slightly deep voice.
"Did Fellow Daoist Shui instruct you?"
Xu Chong raised his eyebrows and his eyes turned cold.
In fact, when he first saw these five young men and women, he did have some doubts.
Because Huo Linger, Jin Xiaoyu and Shuixianer can be regarded as top choices in terms of appearance and figure, and they all have a bit of the beauty trap idea.
But at the same time, there happened to be two men who were not ugly but at most unattractive in appearance, which gradually dispelled Xu Chong's doubts.
Now that I hear Narcissus say this, does it really happen?
"Your Excellency, forgive me."
Shui Xian'er knelt down with a plop. "Grandmaster, this is not out of selfishness, but another preparation for the fusion of the skills... If the new skills cannot be deduced, the bloodline born from the combination of the people of Tianxuan Realm and the people of Wuling Realm will become the new hope for the cultivation of all the people."
"Xian'er is a thin girl with a delicate figure. After spending half a month with her, I don't think you will be impressed. But..."
Shui Xian'er bit her lip lightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Xian'er still dares to ask the master to leave his bloodline in the Five Spirits Realm."
Facing the pitiful and delicate appearance in front of him, Xu Chong was not moved at all, and only asked: "Is this Shui Yunzi's order?"
"Your Excellency has misunderstood."
Shui Xian'er bowed down, "Master only mentioned it briefly, and emphasized that everything depends on your wishes and cannot be forced..."
"It's just a sentence. He may not even have expected it. Why do you have to take it so seriously?"
Xu Chong sighed, and the unhappiness in his heart disappeared. "Get up, I will consider Brother Shui's suggestion. Now I will send you back first."
Hearing this, Narcissus was extremely surprised. She wanted to kowtow but was stopped by a force. She could only stand up and obediently follow Xu Chong back to the mountain gate.
However, Narcissus didn't know that the consideration Xu Chong was talking about was not for himself.
After all, at his level, what he pursues has long surpassed his natural instinct to reproduce. He only maintains a natural and joyful relationship with Hua Nong Yue, and it is difficult for him to have any interest in other people.
But excluding himself, there are still many people to choose from in Baiyujing.
For example, Li Xiangxue is still a single man.
