Laozi is sitting under Taiji Diagram, and Taiqing Immortal Light is flickering around him.
The Innate Three Talents Grand Formation on top of Three Pure Ones Peak has been operating for an unknown number of days and nights. The heaven and earth Spiritual Energy with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles are continuously drawn into the formation by the large formation, forming a Spiritual Energy vortex visible to the naked eye above the head of Laozi.
The vortex rotated slowly, pouring all the essence of Kunlun Mountain and thousands of Spiritual Vein into his body, supporting this unprecedented deduction.
The Tao map spread out in his Sea of Consciousness has become densely packed, with countless law lines intertwining and colliding, each line representing a possible path of cultivation.
He has rejected too many plans.
The system threshold based on Yin-Yang Qi is too high, and non-Innate Dao Body cannot get started;
The upper limit of the system with Five Elements Power as the core is insufficient, and it will eventually be constrained by Five Elements;
The system based on Primordial Spirit visualization is too demanding on the core and bones, and not one person among hundreds of millions of creatures may be able to get started.
Every rejected plan left a dark mark on the road map, but Laozi was not discouraged.
He always remembered the principles he set at the beginning of the deduction.
This new path does not have to have extremely low thresholds and does not have to be suitable for all living beings, but it must be able to break through the framework of Heavenly Dao and reach Great Dao Origin Essence.
This is the second path that Pangu's Primordial Spirit should open up for Primordial Wilderness creatures.
Taiji Diagram slowly rotated above his head, Yin-Yang was linked head to tail, and each rotation pushed Laozi's deduction forward.
The two qi of black and white in the picture are constantly differentiated and reorganized, evolving into endless Daoist rhymes. Laozi suddenly had a thought in his mind.
The foundation of Mystic Gate Immortal Method is to attract heaven and earth Spiritual Energy into the body, use external forces to temper itself, and finally Union with the Dao become in the sky.
The end of this road is Union with the Dao, which is integrated with Heavenly Dao.
However, the Dao of Heaven itself has its limits. The more people who join the Dao, the greater the pressure that the Dao of Heaven will bear, and the lower the upper limit for practitioners.
The fundamental reason is that what Mystic Gate Immortal Method cultivates is the Tao "under Heavenly Dao", which has been included in the framework of Heavenly Dao from the beginning.
So, what if you don't fix Heavenly Dao from the beginning, but point directly to Great Dao?
Do not draw strength from heaven and earth, but discover strength from within yourself.
The reason why living beings are living beings does not lie in how much Spiritual Energy they can absorb from the outside world, but in that they possess essence, energy, and spirit Three Treasures.
This Three Treasures is innate and is the fundamental endowment given to all living beings after Pangu Creation of Heaven and Earth.
Essence is the foundation of Physical Body and the foundation of life transformed by Pangu flesh and blood;
Qi is the source of life and is the flow of vitality transformed by Pangu breathing;
God is the root of consciousness and is the spiritual light transformed by Pangu's Will.
The three treasures are sufficient, no spiritual roots, no talent, just the word "".
All living things carry essence, energy, and spirit.
This is the most precious legacy Pangu has left to all living beings.
Mystic Gate Immortal Method seeks outside and borrows heaven and earth Spiritual Energy to practice. Although the threshold is low and the results are quick, it is ultimately within the circle defined by Heavenly Dao.
The true road to transcendence should be to search within, regard oneself as the universe, use Essence, Qi, and Spirit as the world, and open up a Qiankun in the body that is independent of Heavenly Dao.
Laozi's mind suddenly became clear at this moment. He finally found the starting point.
The system he wants to deduce uses the living beings themselves as the cauldron.
This cauldron is not a magical weapon, but the innate Physical Body and soul of Xiu Practitioner.
Using essence, qi, and spirit Three Treasures as medicine, this medicine does not rely on external sources, it is all about repairing Practitioner within one's own body.
Take the execution of your mind as your passion.
This fire does not require Spiritual Vein spiritual fire, it all depends on the effort of cultivating Practitioner one thought.
On this basis, Essence, Qi, and Spirit Three Treasures was repeatedly tempered, condensed, and sublimated, and finally a Hunyuan Dao Fruit was condensed in the body.
This Dao Fruit is not the condensation of external Spiritual Energy, but the ultimate sublimation of cultivating Practitioner's own life Origin Essence.
It is independent of Heavenly Dao and directly connected to Great Dao Origin Essence.
If the Tao comes true, Great Dao can be expected.
This path does not borrow any power from heaven and earth, and does not owe Heavenly Dao any cause and effect. It relies entirely on the accumulation and breakthroughs of cultivating Practitioner itself.
Because its foundation is to repair Practitioner itself, Heavenly Dao cannot limit its upper limit.
As long as the will to practice Practitioner is strong enough and the accumulation is deep enough, theoretically you can practice all the way to a level comparable to Great Dao.
This is the general outline of Golden Core Great Dao.
Take yourself as the universe, take Three Treasures as the foundation, don't seek outside, and point directly to Great Dao.
Laozi began to deduce the specific realm of practice along this main road.
Golden Core Great Dao is named after "Golden Core" because the Tao Fruit condensed in the body of Practitioner is perfect and has a bright golden light, just like the first ray of light bred in Chaos, which is the starting point of all creation.
From ordinary people to saints, one can prove it step by step, and it is divided into five realms.
The naming of each realm cannot be ordinary.
This is the holy way opened by Pangu's Primordial Spirit for all living beings. It should be named after the supreme principles of heaven and earth and the true meaning of Great Dao.
The name of the first realm is "Origin Return".
This state is the foundation of Golden Core Great Dao. To cultivate Practitioner, you need to collect the Essence, Qi, and Spirit Three Treasures scattered in the limbs and bones and return them to the innate Origin Essence.
After a living being is born, Essence, Qi, and Spirit Three Treasures is gradually dissipated over time, scattered in the six sense organs of eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and mind, and is constantly consumed by the seven emotions and six desires.
The practice of Origin Return state is to reverse this process.
Close the six roots, gather your mind, gather the Essence, Qi, and Spirit scattered everywhere bit by bit, and return it to the Dantian Qi sea.
After cultivating this state to perfection, the Essence, Qi, and Spirit in Practitioner's body will no longer leak out. It is like a sealed ancient well, calm on the surface, but full of unfathomable power inside.
If Origin Return is successful, Physical Body will have no leakage.
The name of the second realm is "Core Formation".
After the Origin Return realm collected Essence, Qi, and Spirit into one, the Core Formation realm melted these Three Treasures into one furnace, using the mind as the flame and Physical Body as the cauldron, repeatedly calcining and refining.
This state is the most critical step in Golden Core Great Dao, and it is also the origin of the name Golden Core Great Dao.
Essence, Qi, and Spirit Three Treasures gradually merged under the calcination of the flame of mind, and from three to one, a golden light group the size of a soybean was condensed in the Dantian. This is the prototype of Golden Core.
This Golden Core is not a foreign object, but is transformed into Xiu Practitioner's own life Origin Essence, which contains all Essence, Qi, and Spirit of Xiu Practitioner.
When Golden Core is first formed, the whole body of Practitioner will bloom with bright golden light. This light is not the light of Spiritual Energy, but the light of life Origin Essence, which cannot be blocked by any Heavenly Dao rules.
If Core Formation is successful, it will be completely transformed.
The name of the third realm is "Nascent Infant Transformation".
After Golden Core is nurtured and matured in the Dantian, cultivating Practitioner needs to be guided by one's own Tao nature to break open Golden Core.
The life Origin Essence contained in it turned into a spirit body that was exactly the same as Xiu Practitioner. This is Dao Infant.
Dao Infant is the embodiment of Practitioner life Origin Essence, which is the higher form after the fusion of Essence, Qi, and Spirit Three Treasures.
Dao Infant sits in the Dantian and is connected with the mind of the cultivator Practitioner. He can travel around Taixu without Physical Body, he can swallow the Tao rhythm between heaven and earth, and he can sense the operation of the Great Dao law.
The reason why this realm is called "Nascent Infant Transformation" is because of the process of Golden Core breaking through and transforming into Dao Infant.
Just like Chaos breeds life, it is the wonder of creation that "creates something" from "nothing".
Nascent Infant Transformation succeeds, then Primordial Spirit succeeds.
The fourth realm is called "Union with the Dao".
The "Union with the Dao" here does not correspond to Heavenly Dao, but to Great Dao.
Union with the Dao of Mystic Gate Immortal Method is integrated with Heavenly Dao and is bound by Heavenly Dao from now on.
Union with the Dao of Golden Core Great Dao uses Dao Infant as the medium to resonate with Great Dao Origin Essence.
Xiu Practitioner sacrificed Dao Infant out of the body, allowing it to travel between heaven and earth, and comprehend the true principles of the operation of Great Dao.
The moment Dao Infant resonated with Great Dao, Xiu Practitioner stepped into the Union with the Dao Realm.
In this state of cultivation to perfection, all the movements and movements of Practitioner coincide with the Great Dao law, words and Dharma follow, and supernatural powers arise spontaneously.
If Union with the Dao is successful, it will jump out of Three Realms and not in Five Elements. The life span will be the same as Primordial Wilderness heaven and earth, which can prove the Great Luo Tao Fruit.
The fifth realm is called "Hunyuan".
This is the highest state of Golden Core Great Dao. Union with the Dao Realm repairs Practitioner and takes Dao Infant back into the body, completely merging with Physical Body and his soul. The trinity turns into a harmonious, golden Hunyuan Dao Fruit.
This path fruit is the final form of cultivating Practitioner existence.
It is not only Physical Body, but also the soul, and it is also the condensation of practicing Practitioner throughout one's life.
Once Hunyuan Dao Fruit is completed, Practitioner is no longer a "creature", but a being close to Great Dao itself.
Hunyuan Dao Fruit turns nine times, and with each turn, Xiu Practitioner's control over Great Dao's laws deepens.
After nine rounds of perfection, cultivating Practitioner can temporarily transcend the Heavenly Dao frame by virtue of the power of Tao Fruit, and exert a power that is close to that of Sage.
If we go one step further and use Hunyuan Dao Fruit to communicate with Great Dao Origin Essence, we may even get a glimpse of the threshold of Sage.
But this is not the most fundamental difference between Golden Core Great Dao and Mystic Gate Immortal Method.
The most fundamental difference is that Golden Core Great Dao's cultivation of Practitioner does not require going through a heavenly tribulation.
The reason why Mystic Gate Immortal Method needs to overcome the tribulation is because the cultivator Practitioner has absorbed a large amount of heaven and earth Spiritual Energy during the cultivation process, and these Spiritual Energy are originally part of Heavenly Dao.
When the cultivation level of Practitioner reaches a certain critical point, Heavenly Dao will bring down the heavenly calamity, which is not only a test but also a debt collection and repayment of the cause and effect, so that one can continue to practice. If the repayment is not completed, the body will die and the Tao will disappear.
But Golden Core Great Dao's cultivation Practitioner does not borrow the power of heaven and earth. Their power comes entirely from their own Essence, Qi, and Spirit transformation.
Since he does not owe Heavenly Dao any cause and effect, Heavenly Dao naturally has no right to bring about heavenly calamity.
This is a fundamental way to bypass the restrictions of Heavenly Dao.
The only thing Golden Core Great Dao needs to face when repairing Practitioner is its own Heart-Demon Tribulation.
Essence, Qi, and spirit Three Treasures are all in the body of Xiu Practitioner. During the refining process, various distracting thoughts and Obsession will inevitably arise.
If these distracting thoughts Obsession cannot be cleared away in time, they will leave hidden dangers in Golden Core, eventually leading to Golden Core being broken, Dao Infant being covered in dust, and Hunyuan Dao Fruit not being perfect.
Mystic Gate Immortal Method's inner demons are the test that Heavenly Dao has imposed, while Golden Core Great Dao's inner demons are the projection of Xiu Practitioner's own desires and fears.
The process of overcoming inner demons is the process of understanding oneself and transcending oneself.
This is another fundamental difference between Golden Core Great Dao and Mystic Gate Immortal Method.
Mystic Gate relies on heaven, Golden Core relies on oneself.
When the framework and true meaning of the five realms were completely clear to him Sea of Consciousness, Laozi opened his eyes.
Taiqing Immortal Light rose like flames around him, Taiji Diagram suddenly stopped above his head, Yin-Yang Pisces no longer rotated, but turned into two Dao Mark linked end to end, suspended on his left and right sides.
At this moment, the entire Three Pure Ones Peak was trembling slightly. Spiritual Energy with a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles was drained by an invisible force at this moment, and all of it was poured into Laozi's body, bringing the final end to his deduction.
That power is not Heavenly Dao's law, but Great Dao's own response to this new path.
The birth of Golden Core Great Dao from scratch touched the foundation of the most fundamental laws of Primordial Wilderness.
Yuanshi and Tongtian felt the fluctuation coming from the center of the array at the same time.
That was not mana fluctuation, nor Sage pressure, but a more Origin Essence aura that was more ancient.
Just like when Heaven and Earth’s Opening, the first breath of Taiqing was born from Chaos, just like Pangu's Primordial Spirit perceived the existence of "Tao" for the first time.
Pangu Banner made a low hum in the hands of Yuanshi, and the shadow of Heaven-Opening Giant on the flag seemed to come to life, looking up to the sky and letting out a silent roar.
That was the resonance of Pangu's will, and it was the first time Primordial Spirit felt that the inheritance that truly belonged to Pangu was returning after three points.
Immortal Slaying Four Swords clanged around Tongtian at the same time, and four sword intents shot up into the sky, but they were not killing intents.
Rather, it was an indescribable tremor, like four peerless killing swords paying tribute to a higher-level existence.
"Brother!"
Yuanshi's voice trembled slightly. He has been in charge of Pangu Banner for many years and is most sensitive to Pangu's aura.
At this moment, he felt an unprecedented aura from Laozi. The aura vaguely resonated with the Pangu's Will remaining in Pangu Banner, causing all the Jade Purity Immortal Light in his body to surge uncontrollably.
Tongtian put away Immortal Slaying Four Swords and strode up to Laozi, his eyes full of shock and admiration. "Brother, the deduction is complete?"
Laozi looked at the two junior brothers in front of him and nodded slowly.
His voice was not loud, but it seemed to have penetrated the barrier of time and space, echoing in Three Pure Ones Peak for a long time. "It's done."
Two words, as heavy as Kunlun.
"The name of this path is Golden Core Great Dao.
Take yourself as the universe, take Essence, Qi, and Spirit as the foundation, don't seek anything from outside, and point directly to Great Dao."
Laozi's voice was smooth and clear, as if he was stating a truth that had been verified countless times, "Golden Core Great Dao has five realms in total.
The first realm Origin Return.
Collect and photograph Essence, Qi, and Spirit Three Treasures, return to the innate Origin Essence, Physical Body without leakage.
The second realm Core Formation.
Three Treasures is fused, the heart is calcined, and Golden Core is condensed in the Dantian, reborn.
The third realm Nascent Infant Transformation.
Golden Core is broken and Dao Infant is born. Primordial Spirit is a great success and can travel in Taixu.
The fourth realm Union with the Dao.
Dao Infant resonates with Great Dao Origin Essence, jumps out of Three Realms, is not in Five Elements, and lives the same life as heaven and earth, which can prove Great Luo.
The fifth realm Hunyuan.
The souls of Dao Infant and Physical Body merge into one, transforming into Hunyuan Dao Fruit. After nine turns, they reach directly to Quasi-Saint, and you can take a further step to get a glimpse of the holy realm."
Yuanshi and Tongtian listened with rapt attention.
They are all Quasi-Saint level beings, and their understanding of the way of practice far exceeds that of anyone in Primordial Wilderness.
Every time Laozi mentioned a realm, they quickly deduced it in their minds, and then discovered it in shock.
This road is completely feasible, and every path avoids the jurisdiction of Heavenly Dao.
Without borrowing the power of heaven and earth, without the help of external objects, from Origin Return to Hunyuan, every step is completed within the body of Practitioner. Every step is getting closer to Great Dao Origin Essence, but never touches any shackles set by Heavenly Dao.
This road is completely different from Mystic Gate Immortal Method, but it also leads to Great Dao.
No, not the same.
The upper limit of Golden Core Great Dao is higher than Mystic Gate Immortal Method.
Because the limit of Mystic Gate Immortal Method is at Heavenly Dao, and the end point of Golden Core Great Dao is at Great Dao itself.
"Moreover," Laozi added, his voice still calm, but the content was like thunder, "Those who practice Golden Core Great Dao will not survive the catastrophe."
"Not to survive the catastrophe?" Tongtian blurted out, "Why?"
