The Chongxu True Sutra is very complicated and is all classical Chinese. Fortunately, Chinese characters have been passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years, and they are not completely incomprehensible. It is just that many of the professional terms and concepts practiced by Taoism are very obscure. These are things that Wang Yuanze has never been exposed to before, and there are many contents that can only be understood but not expressed in words. Although there are words, they are completely incomprehensible like the heavenly books.

Taoist Niu is actually not the successor of the Qinghe Sect. Qinghe Sect was previously divided into inner disciples and outer disciples. Inner disciples could accept authentic immortal skills. For example, Chongxu True Sutra, they would only hand them over to core disciples, and outer disciples only had introductory skills to refine essence and transform qi. Even inner disciples would not teach more profound methods until they were in a certain state.

The Tao is not passed on lightly, and the law is not taught lightly.

This is a tradition of a hundred schools of thought, and the requirements for disciples to cultivate immortals and ask for Taoism are higher. It depends not only on qualifications, but also on character.

The ancestor of Taoist Niu was just an outer disciple of the Qinghe Sect. The Qinghe Sect was destroyed for thousands of years, and they still adhered to the ancestral teachings and were able to protect the mountain gate. It can be seen that the character of the family inheritance is extraordinary.

Unfortunately, Taoist Niu is not qualified. Although there is a family-born outer disciple practicing the exercises, he has only slightly touched the fur after practicing for a lifetime, and is still far from success.

However, Taoist Niu has been a Taoist priest for decades and has studied Taoism theory very thoroughly. He meditated and recited scriptures to clear his mind and lacked desires, and was extremely transparent in his heart. Therefore, Wang Yuanze has also taken time to ask him about many problems in cultivation in recent days. Although he did not touch the threshold and did not improve at all, he at least systematically understood some basic concepts of the Qinghe School of Practice.

What's more, the lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although the Qinghe School is now in ruins, it still has its foundation. Therefore, when Taoist Niu repaired and sorted the Taoist temple these days, he found many ancient books and classics from various corners, and even many jade slips filled with mud.

These books are basically common Taoist scriptures, not practice methods.

But some basic knowledge about Taoism solved Wang Yuanze's urgent needs.

What are the inner elixirs and external elixirs, what are the innate qi, what are the dantian purple palace, what are the Niwan divine palace, etc.

Although the Qinghe School fell from trees and scattered a thousand years ago, and precious classics were either robbed or secretly taken away by their disciples, the remaining ones also benefited Wang Yuanze a lot. In the past few days, in addition to being puppets, he would read these classics when he was free, and ask Taoist Niu if he didn't understand them. Therefore, he soon had some understanding of the superficial understanding. Compared with the content of the Chongxu True Sutra, some words that seemed like heavenly books also gradually gained some understanding, at least they were no longer in a state of darkness.

Although the Taoist practices are different in different schools, the basic four stages are the same, that is, refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit into emptiness, refining emptiness into Taoism.

When a person is born from the embryo, he will produce a kind of innate essence.

This innate essence is the key to the fertilization and growth of creatures and the foundation for opening up spiritual wisdom. Once the fetus is fertilized and mature, this innate essence will not be produced again, but will remain in muscles, bones, blood, flesh, and internal organs to nourish the body. Then, as it grows, people will slowly age, and when this innate essence is consumed, people will come to say goodbye to this world.

Refining essence into qi means firstly refining all the innate essence remaining in the body into the Zhongdantian, that is, the Qi sea at the Danzhong point to form an essence seed. With the guidance of this essence seed, you can slowly absorb the heaven and earth vital energy from the outside through exercises and elixirs to cultivate and strengthen your own vital energy, open up the dantian in the Shenque point and condense the dantian, and people will embark on the journey of immortality and immortality.

Because everyone carries different innate essences at birth, the results of cultivation are very different. The stronger the essence seeds condensed by refining essence into qi, the more vital energy it can absorb and accommodate in the dantian in the future. Therefore, the stronger the innate essence, the wider the path of cultivation will be, and the further on the path of immortality.

The innate essence in the body of a mortal is powerful enough to perceive, which is what the Immortal Sect calls spiritual roots.

Although spiritual roots are not necessary to cultivate immortals, spiritual roots must be cultivated faster, and the energy of heaven and earth that can be mobilized at the same level is stronger.

In fact, it is the ultimate for people without spiritual roots to cultivate to the Danyuan realm, and it is difficult to break through to the stage of refining qi and transforming into gods.

Therefore, there is a famous saying in the world of immortal cultivation: Immortals can be without a few, but they must not have spiritual roots.

This shows the importance of spiritual roots to cultivating immortals.

It is said that cultivating immortals and asking about Taoism, but the folks of the Immortal Sect also confuse it. Even some small sects cannot distinguish them, but in fact, there is a difference between becoming an immortal and cultivating Taoism.

The difference is that immortals are just a process in the pursuit of Taoism, that is, the level of cultivation.

Immortals are states. Mortals evolve into immortals through practicing Taoism, but immortals are not the end of cultivation. Obtaining Tao is the eternal pursuit of monks.

Therefore, as long as you enter the state of Qi training, people can already be called immortals

The stage of refining essence into qi, commonly known as human immortals, has a lifetime of hundreds of years. In this state, you can use the vital energy refined in your body to release magic weapons, control magic weapons, and travel thousands of miles a day to freely live in the world.

The stage of Qi refining and transforming into the gods is commonly known as the earth immortal, and has a lifetime of thousands of years. In this realm, the soul of the divine soul is first formed, and the spiritual energy protects the body. It has the ability to move mountains, fill the sea, fill the clouds and drive fog, and traverse the world and look down at the mortal world.

Refining the spirit and returning to the emptiness, commonly known as the celestial immortal, has a lifetime of thousands of years, jumping out of the three realms and not entering the five elements, breaking the void and chasing the stars and taking the moon, traveling through the universe and traveling through the vast universe, the soul and soul are immortal, and die without death.

Wuyazi has reached this state, so even if he is beaten to pieces, he can leave his soul to survive.

As for the last step of refining the emptiness and communion, he has already escaped from the level of immortals.

There is no such thing as Wuyazi's martial arts. He just mentioned that refining the emptiness and combining the Tao is the supreme realm, incarnation is omnipresent, and he can penetrate the great way and live with the heaven and earth.

Of course, these are the most general definitions, and in the specific process of cultivation, these four realms have been divided into levels in detail, so that practitioners can have a better judgment and grasp of their own state.

The refining essence into qi is the three steps of Kaiyuan, Zhenyuan, and Danyuan, which correspond to the three realms of qi training, foundation building and elixir formation in Taoist internal alchemy.

The three steps of refining Qi and turning into God are the three steps of transforming spirit, real spirit, and divine spirit, corresponding to the three realms of the Nascent Soul, divine separation, and combination of the inner alchemy technique.

The three steps of refining the spirit and returning to the emptiness are Chongxu, Yuxu, and Qingxu, which correspond to the three realms of the inner alchemy technique, Hunyuan and Mahayana.

In the last realm of refining the emptiness and communion, there are basically no records of the classics. It is just like Wuyazi's true scripture of clashing the emptiness, which is defined as transcending the immortal path and reaching the supreme level, endless life spanning the immortals and mortals, and has the greatest power to transform the heaven and earth and break the universe.

According to the classics left by the Qinghe Sect, the realm of inner alchemy is the definition of the Taoist sect of Shenzhou. After Shenzhou returned to the ancient country of Shanhai, there were even older sects of cultivation. Kaiyuan, spiritual transformation, and Chongxu were the divisions of realms outside the state of Shenzhou. Over the past two thousand years, these divisions of realms have begun to be mixed and used, but they are basically becoming more and more learned from the previous ones. After all, the level of cultivation outside the nine states is higher, the level of cultivation is wider, and the age of cultivation is longer.

However, after learning about these specific levels of cultivation, Wang Yuanze realized that opening the purple palace and opening the upper dantian was the steps that were completed after entering the Qi Refining and Transforming God stage.

But at the moment he was just a mortal, and Wuyazi used his immortal power to forcibly open up the sea of ​​consciousness and open up the purple palace, which also led to the beginning of him being completely different from all Qi training men.

Originally, this incident was a good thing, but Yu Wuya is sleeping now, and Taoist Niu is also unaware of it after asking questions, so Wang Yuanze felt very confused.

I could only follow the skills of Chongxu True Sutra and combine them with the instructions of Taoist Niu, and start to explore slowly.
