Above the True Self
Cultivators typically only discuss the Dao with those of similar cultivation level, ensuring that everyone gets what they need.
When it is compatible with backwards, it is called "speaking method".
Preaching and discussing the Dao is a common occurrence for cultivators, but obtaining what they need from lower-level cultivators during such preaching is quite rare.
Divine Lord Zhenyuan initially regarded Zhang Xuezhou as a junior, but after flying a thousand miles, he changed his mind. After flying two thousand miles, he completely changed his attitude, believing that cultivation levels were not differentiated and that anyone who had reached a certain level could be a teacher.
He didn't even shy away from mentioning the "Yin Talisman Scripture" and "Yang Talisman Scripture" he practiced. All the mysteries of his powerful spells came from these two scriptures, and the transformation between Yin and Yang could produce abilities similar to spatial teleportation.
Divine Lord Zhenyuan followed the path of the ultimate, pushing these two scriptures to their limits.
Maintaining a perfect balance is crucial; the slightest misstep could result in the yin and yang clashing, causing one's cultivation to vanish into nothingness.
This requires a cultivator to maintain a stable mind, and is not suitable for ordinary people to cultivate.
"Your method is truly wonderful!"
Zhang Xuezhou continued chewing on the leaves while maintaining the continuous operation of his cloud-riding technique.
Flying is extremely strenuous, and few people can discuss philosophy while flying; it's no different from an ordinary person having to memorize texts while running at full speed.
The fact that they could still communicate with each other while flying at high speed can only prove that Divine Lord Zhenyuan had too much energy left to spare. What was like a wild run for others was nothing more than a leisurely stroll for Divine Lord Zhenyuan.
Zhang Xuezhou is in a similar state, flying down with great ease thanks to Divine Lord Zhenyuan.
It's quite normal for the two of them to chat as they soar through the air, riding the waves.
Of course, if Divine Lord Zhenyuan were to accelerate a second or even a third time, achieving a speed similar to that of the Golden Crow Great Emperor's corpse during the pursuit, not only would Divine Lord Zhenyuan be unable to make a sound, but Zhang Xuezhou would also be unable to keep up.
One side had spare strength, while the other side possessed a near- Divine Ability ability to fly through the clouds, allowing them to float effortlessly and freely.
From their initial limited communication, which focused on flying, to discussing Zhang Xuezhou's cloud-riding technique, to exploring the Grain Avoidance Divine Ability and understanding Zhang Xuezhou's abilities, and finally to Divine Lord Zhenyuan mentioning his own cultivation, their journey was far from lonely.
When Divine Lord Zhenyuan mentioned his cultivation method, Zhang Xuezhou felt that it was extremely similar to the cultivation methods of the Yin-Yang School.
Both of these cultivation methods generated immense Law Power that surpassed that of cultivators at the same level.
The difference is that Divine Lord Zhenyuan practiced the Yin Talisman Scripture and Yang Talisman Scripture simultaneously from the beginning, maintaining an extremely balanced development, while the Yin-Yang School only integrated and improved them in the later stages.
"The cultivation of realm techniques emphasizes the acquired great cycle, striving to enter the innate Qi cycle and spread it throughout the entire body. Only when this great cycle is unobstructed can it be considered to be nearing its end. Some realm techniques are simple and clear, lacking side branches and directly leading to the Great Dao. These realm techniques are quick to cultivate but dangerous, and after completion, they lack explosive power and strong support. Some realm techniques are complex and diverse, extremely difficult to refine, and even after a hundred years of Divine Ability, one may only reach the supernatural power realm. There are also realm techniques that take shortcuts, focusing on the gains while minimizing the required conditions, thus exchanging a small price for a large reward. This requires a great deal of cultivation resources!"
Divine Lord Zhenyuan did not shy away from mentioning his cultivation, and Zhang Xuezhou also took out his cultivation realm techniques.
With both sides confirming the information, Divine Lord Zhenyuan reassured Zhang Xuezhou.
Regardless of whether Zhang Xuezhou lacks direction in his cultivation or has entered a dead end, as long as Zhang Xuezhou body has not completed the Great Cycle of the Innate and moved towards the smooth flow of the Innate Qi, Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation has not reached its end, and he can continue to make adjustments as long as he is able.
Divine Lord Zhenyuan cultivated the Yin Talisman Scripture and Yang Talisman Scripture for a hundred years, while the Yin-Yang School's realm techniques could be mastered in a few decades, with similar effects, which was full of various tricks.
However, the techniques Zhang Xuezhou cultivated were complex, making corrections even more difficult.
"The principles of the cultivation techniques you practice are similar to mine, but the exact details of your practice are difficult to explain. Why not use my ' Yin Talisman Scripture ' and ' Yang Talisman Scripture ' as general guidelines? That way, you'll have something to refer to!"
Divine Lord Zhenyuan has lived in the Kunlun Sacred Land for hundreds of years. His mind is complex and delicate, but more often it is pure and free from personal motives.
Ordinary people tend to conceal their spiritual practice, hold back some knowledge, or only give lectures without being responsible for recommending others.
For example, Hongku would hold back some techniques when guiding cultivation, and Zou Bugui would also obstruct cultivation. Zhang Xuezhou and Jin Chang would mutually restrain each other and exchange cultivation methods. There were also emperors and empresses who were only responsible for lecturing but would not guide Zhang Xuezhou on how to cultivate. There were also exchanges with Li Shaojun and others where each person took what they needed, and how much they learned was purely a matter of fate.
After carefully distinguishing the cultivation techniques of the Yin-Yang School, Divine Lord Zhenyuan felt that Zhang Xuezhou could refer to the "Yin Talisman Scripture" and "Yang Talisman Scripture" that he practiced.
These two scriptures differ from Zhang Xuezhou's cultivation practices, and their respective progress is also completely different. However, stripping away the outer shell of cultivation, the underlying principles of cultivation are similar and can be used.
He was generous in introducing the scriptures he practiced and made very earnest recommendations.
"What the Divine Lord says makes perfect sense!"
Zhang Weimeng deduced the general principles of the Divine Ability Realm cultivation through the Yin-Yang School's Realm Techniques and the Confucian School's Realm Techniques, but subsequent work was lost due to insufficient information.
Zhang Xuezhou originally wanted to find a solution from Kong Anguo and fight with Jin Chang again, but unexpectedly, Divine Lord Zhenyuan directly explained the "Yin Talisman Scripture" and "Yang Talisman Scripture", which were similar to his own cultivation methods.
The cultivation methods of Divine Lord Zhenyuan are undoubtedly quite different from those of the Han Dynasty. The descriptions involving the Great Cycle of Acquired Nature are completely different from those of the present day. However, this is the norm when various schools of thought have different interpretations. Even if Divine Lord Zhenyuan is included, it would only be a difference of adding another faction.
Zhang Xuezhou didn't care about this small detail.
As Divine Lord Zhenyuan said, the scriptures the other party was practicing did indeed have reference value.
If everything can be sorted out clearly, this is the cultivation method that can prove the path to the True Self Realm.
Zhang Xuezhou didn't care about the consequences; regardless of whether it was useful or not, he memorized the "Yin Talisman Scripture" and "Yang Talisman Scripture" first.
"Your Yin-Yang School technique, with its profound fusion of techniques, is truly extraordinary. I eagerly anticipate the Holy Son's ascension to the True Self Realm," Divine Lord Zhenyuan said earnestly. "The Yin Talisman Scripture and Yang Talisman Scripture that I cultivate may also possess this fusion potential. Once fused, they will unleash double or even several times the power, potentially creating an opportunity for an extraordinary transformation!"
"Extraordinary transformation?"
"That is beyond the True Self. The Emperor once mentioned that it is a power that transcends the Three Realms, enough to escape the Five Elements, and be free from the bonds of birth, aging, sickness, and death, thus attaining great freedom!"
"You mean there are realms beyond the True Self Realm?"
"Right!"
Divine Lord Zhenyuan nodded very solemnly.
Is this theoretically feasible or practically workable? Has anyone truly grasped this level of understanding?
"There was a person named... Hongjun who underwent an extraordinary transformation!"
Divine Lord Zhenyuan thought for a long time before mentioning a rather awkward name.
Zhang Xuezhou has experienced a lot, and he has never heard of anyone with the surname Hong in all these years.
The Hongjun mentioned by Divine Lord Zhenyuan is more like a nameless person, with no trace of his existence in any of the records that can be checked, and he did not leave behind any lineage or inheritance.
"I've heard that the Immortal Court seems to be Hongjun's faction, and that Yuanshi, Lingbao, and Laojun are his students. His Daoist temple is called Zixiao..."
Divine Lord Zhenyuan is a god-human being who is extremely close to the Emperor. He has been in the Kunlun Sacred Land for hundreds of years and has heard many things from others.
At first, Zhang Xuezhou thought there was some misinformation, but when Divine Lord Zhenyuan mentioned Yuanshi Tianzun and even started to mention a Daoist temple called Zixiao, Zhang Xuezhou suddenly remembered the secret place in the sea filled with purple light.
