Cloud-Somersaulting Takes Shape
The fastest update to Seeking the Dao in the Mortal World!
If it were truly possible to transform an entire ocean into a solid Golden Elixir, that would be something beyond the reach of the Soaring Cloud Realm; it would likely require the Bonus Realm, or perhaps even the Bonus Realm? Qin Yi was uncertain.
But this is just an image, not the reality. Everyone's Foundation Establishment imagery is different: Qin Yi's is the ocean, Minghe's is the Milky Way, and Meng Qingying's is the Dark Abyss. Ultimately, everyone transforms into Golden Elixir. So it doesn't really mean condensing the ocean into a core; it's not that exaggerated.
In essence, it is a qualitative change process from each being an individual entity to returning to a unified whole.
It is a Golden Elixir, but not a physical form. It is not simply about taking out a golden pill—of course, there are special methods to use this pill as a trump card, but that is another matter.
The Golden Elixir mentioned in internal alchemy remains an image.
Gold is a hard, indestructible substance; cinnabar is a perfect, bright, and flawless substance. They endure as long as heaven and earth, and shine as brightly as the sun and moon.
If we compare the human body to the universe, then this perfect elixir is the embodiment of that image. It is the roundness of the Heavenly Dao, the fullness of the sun and moon, the form of Taiji, and the return of all things to their origin.
Dan means single, one, the beginning before differentiation.
The Dao has no counterpart, hence it is called Dan (丹).
Hence it is called the Golden Elixir Path.
So although they all appear to be in the Core Formation, they are actually quite different from the "Golden Elixir Stage" that Qin Yi knew in previous years; the systems are not the same.
This is Tengyun.
It will not form a Nascent Soul in the future; it will only be a radiant Purple Mansion, known as Huiyang.
Qin Yi could sense that when he took the Soaring Cloud Pill, the Spirit Gathering Formation would activate, thus combining the power of the Immortal Pill with the power of the array. Furthermore, residing in the Radiant Sun cave abode, Immortal Blessed Land, he was surrounded by an inexhaustible supply of Spiritual Qi, which he could absorb at will.
It's truly heartbreaking to see poor, Rogue Cultivator like this; their conditions are far too unfavorable.
The vast Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi surged in from both inside and outside, and the vortex in the raging sea of Dantian spun more and more fiercely, almost draining all the seawater, gradually forming a void, in which a huge water ball was floating at high speed.
A thought struck Qin Yi... It's a bit like Earth...
The thought flashed through my mind, and then a strange change occurred.
His original Gang Qi, which was scattered throughout his limbs and bones, suddenly emerged from all directions to join in the fun.
This kind of Gang Qi was thicker than Law Power, almost tinged with an earthy yellow hue, and it also participated in the vortex rotation, mingling with the water sphere.
Qin Yi suddenly recalled his feelings during his first cultivation session.
At that time, his Innate True Qi was intertwined with his newly cultivated Law Power, forming a Tai Chi symbol.
The Daoist concept of Yin and Yang is a relative and dynamic one, not an absolute one. For example, both Qin Yi's and Ju Yunxiu's Law Power lack specific attributes, but once they intertwine, Qin Yi's Law Power will inevitably be considered Yang. However, comparing Qin Yi's magical Law Power with his own Gang Qi (Qi), his Law Power is Yin, and his internal Gang Qi is Yang.
At this moment, the Law Power swirled and swirled, while the Gang Qi was thick and condensed, intertwining and gradually circling around each other, forming a new circle. There was white within black, and black within white; yin and yang intersected, forming a tai chi symbol once more.
He had a similar experience during his first cultivation, but never again, as if the two paths were clearly distinct. Now that it's reopened, perhaps it's because his Martial Cultivation and Daoist cultivation have reached a comparable level? Just as Liusu said before, harmony in the Xuanmen (Mysterious Gate) requires the cultivation of both Yin and Yang to be close. If one transforms oneself into Yin and Yang, naturally the same is true.
Qin Yi suddenly felt that this should be a good thing, that they could coexist and grow together, instead of fighting each other.
So they did not resist this change, but simply observed and adjusted silently.
Black and white blended together, and it had been blending together for a long time.
But it seems that it can never be completely integrated, and it is unclear what is missing. There is always a barrier, and it cannot form a seamless whole.
Perhaps this is why Liusu wanted to persuade him to engage in Yin-Yang Harvesting? To borrow the power of a man's yang energy to achieve the balance of yin and yang within himself?
No wonder the Liusu suddenly changed from optimism to caution; it's very likely that it sensed this change.
I understand the principle...
But the Yin-Yang Harvesting " is definitely not necessary; it's just a shortcut.
There must be other ways...
Flames lit up Qin Yi's Ming Tang.
The Witchcraft Sacrifice Fire, which had been dormant for a long time, was poured into his Dantian.
The sacrificial fire is stable and has a good effect on the refining process. Qin Yi felt that since he could fuse external objects into External Pill, there was no reason why he couldn't fuse internal pills together. It was just that he lacked a binding agent to promote the process, and the Witchcraft Sacrifice Fire could assist in this effect.
Liusu, who was sitting next to her, raised her eyelids slightly.
It sensed Qin Yi's actions and was somewhat amazed, but did not make a sound to disturb him.
This refining power... is not enough!
The power of the sacrificial fire is too weak... It was something I obtained a long time ago, and it can't keep up with my current cloud-riding cultivation. It's even less than enough to be used as a sacrificial fire.
Qin Yi reached for the ring.
A Fire Element crystal, larger than a box, suddenly appeared in front of them.
Liusu's eyelids twitched; she had almost forgotten that Qin Yi actually had a lot of crystals and was incredibly wealthy.
He never needed to use it. Now was the perfect time, and there was no point in saving money; he simply threw in the largest Fire Element crystal.
The enormous crystal instantly turned into a pile of dust, Dantian fire suddenly rose into a pillar, blazing fiercely.
A black and white rotating Tai Chi elixir gradually took shape, with a faint golden divine light shimmering outside the elixir.
The Golden Elixir has been initially formed!
The Great Way is only this; it is said that one's body becomes the universe, and one's own heaven and earth are formed.
His pills are different from others... It seems that his is not a Golden Elixir Immortal Dao, but Immortal Martial United Core?
Before Qin Yi could fully experience it, a raging fire he had never seen before suddenly ignited in his heart.
Small Tribulation!
No one can predict what form their alchemy tribulation will take. Qin Yi immediately realized that this was because he had made additional use of the sacrificial fire effect, so it manifested as a flame tribulation in his alchemy tribulation.
No wonder they say the Dan Calamity is hard to guard against.
This is neither the legendary Tribulation Lightning that strikes down from the sky, nor the tribulation fire that springs up from the ground, but rather it originates directly in the heart and burns from within!
A sudden, unexpected attack that arises from the heart leaves no room for defense. You might not even be able to use your prepared defensive Law Treasure, rendering all the combat Technique Method, Movement Method, and movement techniques you've learned useless. If it were someone with little practical experience, like Ju Yunxiu back then, they might indeed be at a loss for what to do and wouldn't know how to handle it.
Fortunately, it didn't originate directly inside the heart, otherwise the person would die instantly and there would be no way to save them. It originated outside the heart, instantly enveloping the atria, so there was still room to cope.
Without even thinking, Qin Yi immediately did three things at the same time.
The Heavenly Star Qi Barrier I learned earlier was directly transformed into a Protective Barrier outside my heart, temporarily blocking the flames.
The incense burner is activated to calm the mind and prevent the arising of distracting thoughts.
The Radiant Sun-grade Buddhist beads that had been obtained from Guan Ji suddenly lit up.
Liusu once again moved her eyes in amazement.
I thought he would slowly extinguish the flames, but I didn't expect him to absorb them and create a spark himself!
The Radiant Sun-grade Buddhist beads are indeed not difficult to deal with the Soaring Cloud Pill Tribulation. This is also why Qin Yi did not have much need for Law Treasure before. Too many would make it difficult to know which ones to use. Opportunities are fleeting, and hesitation can be fatal. Keeping things simple allows for quick decisions.
The prayer beads formed their own world, capable of absorbing various forms of energy. Wisps of flame could be seen being drawn from Qin Yi's heart and poured into one of the beads.
The bead emitted a red glow, which then faded away.
The Small Tribulation that Ju Yunxiu described as extremely difficult was resolved by Qin Yi in less than half a breath.
Almost at the same moment the pill tribulation subsided, a strange force surged straight into Qin Yi's spiritual platform, causing the light within that small area to intensify. Liusu could see a tiny, human-like phantom appear between Qin Yi's brows, which quickly shrank back as if unable to withstand the pressure.
The first level of the Purple Mansion, the Ming Tang Aperture Opening. From now on, it is no longer just a place to store sacrificial fire, nor is it simply used for transmitting and communicating within the Sea of Consciousness... He can finally begin to use mental Technique Method to transform the intangible spirit into a tangible "existence," which is the first step in developing his divine soul.
From then on, it possessed the spirit of heaven, the substance of earth, the harmony of yin and yang, and the birth of the five elements.
Tengyun Pass is breached.
Qin Yi opened his eyes.
The first thing I noticed was the Liusu fluttering in front of me.
The two exchanged a smile, Qin Yi said, "It's not that difficult, but it's not that hard either. It is indeed a test, so the preparations were worthwhile."
Liusu said, "Whether it's difficult or easy, as long as my eyes can be opened, that's good."
Qin Yi said, "Open your eyes. It's good that you're in front of me."
