Volume 1: Rise Chapter 12: The Book of the Tao Volume 4

The Tao can be sought but not obtained, if it is in harmony, it will advance, if it is not in harmony, it will retreat, and it will become the Tao without existing.

This is the first sentence in Guo Zheng's "Tao Jing", which is divided into four volumes: Tiandao Volume, Shengke Volume, Magic Volume and Formation Volume.

The Heavenly Dao scroll mainly tells Guo Zheng's perception of the world and his views on cultivation, the operation of all things has its own laws, he called this law 'Dao', and Xiuzhen is a means to use these laws to improve oneself: leading heaven and earth into the body and warming the body is for the Qi refining period; True Qi liquid tempering the dantian is for the foundation of the fetus is for the foundation building period; the condensation of the true yuan into the Yuan fetus is for the Jindan period; the birth of the pill is the Yuan Infant Period; the opening of the heavenly court to raise the Yuan Shen is the transformation period; the physical body of the Yuan Infant Yuan Shen is the merger period; and the beginning of taking off the mortal womb is really for the tribulation period. After surviving the thunder tribulation and cultivating into a true body, it is no longer a mortal fetus in the flesh, it can be called an 'immortal', Guo Zheng has a faint guess in his heart: the cultivators in the later stage of the merger attracted the thunder tribulation, and it is very likely that the nine heavenly thunders will not be rained at one time, the reason why Yang Qi can cross the nine tribulations at one time is probably because he is the first person on the mainland to experience the heavenly tribulation, and Yang Qi's cultivation is strong enough, it is precisely because of this speculation that Guo Zheng retained the realm of the tribulation period in the heavenly dao scroll, and called the cultivators who successfully crossed the nine tribulations and cultivated into the true body as ' Immortal', now Yang Qi is an immortal.

At the same time, in the Heavenly Dao Volume, Guo Zheng proposed that Xiuzhen is against the sky, and the Tao is intolerable for heaven and earth, and the heart demons and thunder tribulations born when the mirror is broken are all because of this, so when cultivating the truth, he needs to constantly improve his ability to fight against heaven and earth, which is also the reason why he wants to make Shengke scrolls, magic scrolls and formation scrolls. The Heavenly Dao Scroll also contains Guo Zheng's exploration of the divine consciousness, which is hidden in the heavenly court, which cannot be seen without opening the heavenly court, but can be strengthened through meditation, and the divine consciousness can allow the cultivator's observation of himself and things from the macrocosm to the microcosm, which plays an extremely important role in the cultivation of the truth, and must not be ignored. The Heavenly Dao Scroll also makes a distinction between cultivators and mortals, those who have spiritual roots born in the Tanzhong acupoints on their chests can cultivate the truth, and those who do not have spiritual roots do not kiss the five elements of vitality, and they can also cultivate the truth but have little effect, and classify the spiritual roots: the five elements of the single line of the spiritual root, the mutated spiritual root, the double spiritual root, the best three spiritual roots, the earthly four spiritual roots, the heavenly five spiritual roots, and a kind of ethereal root, the ethereal root is a kind of spiritual root without specific attributes, the potential is infinite and the initial cultivation is difficult. At present, the known spiritual roots on the mainland have not yet appeared in the earth and heavenly products, and the mutated spiritual roots have appeared in a few kinds such as wind spirit roots, ice spirit roots, sand spirit roots and magnetic spirit roots.

The Heavenly Dao Scroll has carried out a detailed deconstruction of the composition of all things in heaven and earth, things are divided into yin and yang, this yin and yang are not absolute, and the power of yang contained in it is mostly presented as yang, on the contrary, it is yin, and there is only a very little balance of yin and yang; Yang Spirit Root and Full Spirit Root, the highest spirit root of the mutated spirit root, the space spirit root, Guo Zheng denied the possibility of the appearance of the time spirit root in the Heavenly Dao Scroll, because the attribute of time is not in line with the Tao, so there will be no people and things that can manipulate time.

The Shengke volume is Guo Zheng's "Theory of the Five Elements of Symbiosis" According to this statement, all cultivators can practice the five elements, as long as they put in enough effort, they can become the whole system of cultivators, but this whole system of cultivation refers to the magic rather than the true element, the true element attribute is determined by the spiritual root, and the casting of the spell can be achieved through the transformation of the five elements, which is that Guo Zheng affirmed the talent of cultivation and affirmed the significance of diligence for cultivation; , but the pain is very bearable.

The magic volume mainly records the five elements of thunder, yin and yang god thunder, demon slayer god thunder and chaos god thunder Guo Zheng for various considerations, have not mentioned, the use of thunder law requires the cultivator to have enough control over their own true element, highlighting the importance of divine consciousness in the practice of thunder law, after passing the personal test, Guo Zheng gave an evaluation of the characteristics of the five elements of thunder law: wood thunder law light and agile, fire thunder law burst, gold thunder law sharp, water thunder method difficult, The soil lightning method is thick and heavy, and Guo Zheng did not give an evaluation of the non-monophyletic lightning method and the mutated mine method without actual measurement. Each kind of thunder method has restraint on the demonic energy, but this depends on the caster's thunder law cultivation, the casting of the thunder law needs the support of its own true element, even if it is a cultivator in the god transformation period, do not cast the thunder method through the heaven and earth vitality, it is not that it cannot be cast, but the thunder law generated by the collision of the weather vitality will carry out indiscriminate attacks, and the power is extremely strong, and the full force is even comparable to the thunder tribulation. The similarity between Thunder and other spells is that it can be practiced to reduce the consumption of True Elements and increase the power of Thunder, which requires a higher quality of True Element, and the higher the degree of condensation, the greater the power of Thunder Magic cast.

The formation volume elaborates on the principle of the formation and records the original and Guo Zheng's own various formations on the mainland, the layout of the formation is to draw the talisman through the specific operation of the law and produce different effects, the Juyuan array is to absorb a large number of heaven and earth vitality in the formation, the sealing formation is to form an enchantment between the inside and outside of the formation to isolate the inside and outside, and so on, the formation volume is recorded in detail, Guo Zheng according to the function of the formation roughly divided into: Juyuan, sealing, attack, defense, There are different types of auxiliary formations, which are divided into innate formations and acquired formations according to the different ways of formation generation, and also cite the Xuanwu Formation of the Northern Demon Clan's holy beast Xuanwu and the Four Elephant Seals created by him by fusing the power of the four holy beasts as examples, respectively, expounding the two formations; ใ€‚ Most of the sealing formations are Tian Yuan Arrays, and the rest of the formations rarely appear Tian Yuan Arrays.

At the end of the "Tao Sutra", Guo Zheng wrote: The words of the predecessors must not be believed, nor can they be believed, the world has no pole and the body has the extreme, our generation should explore the law of the infinite with the extreme, do not be deterred by the words of the predecessors, the existing income will be passed on to the future, and the road can be expected if the fire is endless.

After putting down the pen, Guo Zheng began to examine this "Tao Jing" from the beginning, he had read all the books in the library when he was in the college, Guo Zheng wanted to go to the library of the main courtyard to read more of the words of his predecessors, in the preparation of this "Tao Jing", Yang Qi crossed the catastrophe, so that he captured a trace of the Tao opportunity, this kind of understanding of the Tao is fleeting, he must record these feelings while the iron is hot, otherwise he may miss it. Thinking in my heart: everything is difficult to achieve, which may also be a manifestation of the Tao that can be sought but not obtained. In the process of re-examination, Guo Zheng deleted and supplemented the "Tao Jing" again, and the most important item of deletion was the record of the Liangyi seal in the formation volume, not that he refused to make it public, but that the magic well of the Demon Descending Mountain was sealed with the Liangyi, just in case, and when he found a better way to solve the magic well in the future, it would naturally be recorded in the formation volume; A large number of my own immature ideas and speculations have been supplemented, including the specific method of divine consciousness training, meditation after the depletion of divine consciousness and the practice of depletion of true yuan are the same principle, can speed up the speed of cultivation, and can also exercise the resilience of divine consciousness by tearing the divine consciousness, but tearing the divine consciousness is very dangerous, and it is easy for people to get lost in the pain of tearing.

After making sure that there were no mistakes and omissions in the "Tao Sutra" that he could find, Guo Zheng waved his hand to remove the enchantment, and the inexplicable power that was sealed in the enchantment spread to the surroundings, and the grass was faint. It was almost dusk, Guo Zheng did not rush back to the academy, but began to check his nine months of practice, the Yuan Ying recovered to four zhang high, and the Yuan Shen in the heavenly court had begun to take on a human form, thanks to Guo Zheng began to exercise his divine consciousness very early, the quantity and quality of the divine consciousness in the sea of consciousness are far beyond ordinary people, he plans to start trying to use the divine consciousness tearing method to cultivate the second Yuan God after the Yuan Shen grows to the size of an adult, and now he doesn't know what the second Yuan God can be used for, he just wants to make a different attempt.

Guo Zheng's own spiritual root is an ethereal spiritual root, and he chose the five series of initiates in the early stage of cultivation, so his initial cultivation is not fast, as long as the general cultivator is not too lazy, he can condense the golden pill before the age of eighteen, which is also the graduation standard of the college, Guo Zheng completed it five years late, this is still in the case of him redoubling his efforts and began to meditate and temper the Yuan Shen at the age of fifteen, if not, I am afraid that he may not be able to condense the golden pill until he is fifty years old, there has never been a precedent for the five series of fellow practitioners, and the instructors only regard him as an ordinary student, so Guo Zheng's true yuan is not a mutated true element, he is the five systems one by one to break the realmใ€‚ Only Yang Qi and Lu Zhihan know about the five series of initiations, thirty years ago he showed Yang Qi a hand of five elements transformation, this is the method he figured out in order to improve the speed of cultivation in the process of cultivation, but Yang Qi also became a cultivator of the five systems and cultivators, Lu Zhihan could have done the same, but later she was infected by demonic energy and became a demon cultivator, I have to say that creation makes people.

Guo Zheng was thirty-five years old, cultivated to enter the Yuan infant period, at this time the benefits of the five series of initiates were reflected, before the Yuan Baby, he could only practice in a single line, after having the Yuan Baby, he could practice at the same time in the five systems, at this time he had been in the library for twelve years, read a large number of predecessors of the books, was not satisfied with the mainland's cultivation system, wanted to go out of a way beyond the predecessors, since then he began to frantically temper the Yuan Baby, to meet Yang Qi, his Yuan Ying has been three zhang high, the two had an undisclosed contest at that time, Yang Qi in the late stage of the transformation of the god failed to beat him, after seeing his Yuan Baby, he couldn't help but shout perverted, and the three of them became friends since then, Guo Zheng traveled to the mainland with them during the college vacation, when traveling through the Demon Descent Mountains, Guo Zheng faintly had an intuition that there was a great opportunity in the mountains, and he insisted on going up the mountain, that time Lu Zhihan was trapped in the Demon Descent Mountains, Yang Qi decided to live in seclusion under the mountain to accompany him, Guo Zheng entered the chaos several times after this, looking for a way to rescue his friends, and finally the hard work paid off.

The experience of entering the chaos several times is extremely thrilling, the outside of the chaos is a layer of Xuanhuang gas, as long as there is a small gap for people to pass through, there is an irresistible chaos rain inside, the more you go to the middle of the chaos, the greater the pressure you bear, Guo Zheng has entered the chaos several times and only passed the chaos rain, waiting for the chaos to throw out of the affairs, when you are lucky, you can get something, the magic stone, the white stone and the soul gourd are all obtained in this way, when you are unlucky, Guo Zheng was thrown out of the chaos A light penetrated the palm, if it wasn't for the light that didn't attack him, the others would have been goneใ€‚ The entrance of chaos is on the top of Kunlun Mountain in the northwest hanging sky and a pillar peak, Kunlun Mountain is three thousand zhang high, and the snow on the top of the mountain does not melt all year round, and few people on the mainland now visit Kunlun Mountain, just because chaos is too dangerous.

The next morning, Guo Zheng woke up from the meditation, glanced at the slowly rising sun, straightened the robe on his body, and after thinking about what should not have fallen, Yukong flew in the direction of the academy, this time he did not gallop, but used the power of the Yuan Shen to communicate with heaven and earth to control the sky, he also had to slowly adapt to the Yuan Shen, the college is now a holiday, he is not in a hurry to go back, constantly changing along the way, familiar with the Yuan Shen control of the Yuan Qi of heaven and earth.

When Guo Zheng returned to the academy, it was already twilight, and there were already people waiting for him, two figures, one was the green-haired middle-aged vice president Lin Xie, and the other smaller figure was Lin Ruo, whose hair had turned blue, Guo Zheng was a little surprised to see the two. "Are you Guo Zheng?" Seeing Guo Zheng nodding, Lin Xie continued: "I have admired the name for a long time, it is better to be famous than to meet. Lin Xie had already sensed his arrival when Guo Zheng was still two hundred miles away from the academy, if it weren't for Guo Zheng's bald head being too conspicuous, he almost thought that he was wrong, just two hundred miles away, Guo Zheng actually took a quarter of an hour, Lin Xie inevitably felt contempt in his heart: What else is the first baby in the Northeast?

Obviously feeling the hostility on Lin Xie's body, Guo Zheng scratched his head and asked a little uncertainly, "I don't know what Vice President Lin is looking for me?"

"My niece Lin Ruo, since she returned from the training, there have been problems in her cultivation, she is a mutant true element, the academy has no instructors in this area, Dean Nie said that you have some research on the mutant true element, and our uncle and nephew have been waiting for you for more than half a year. Lin Xie had no consciousness of asking for help at all, and his dissatisfaction was overflowing, and he now doubted whether Nie Hua was perfunctory to him.

"Oh, I see. Guo Zheng nodded to Lin Xie, and then turned his gaze to Lin Ruo.

"Mr. Guo, please forgive me if my uncle has offended. Lin Ruo was able to interject at this time, ignoring his uncle's glaring gaze, and bowed to Guo Zheng seriously.

"It's okay, I want to come to Vice Dean Lin and I'm anxious for you. I don't think there's any problem with your current cultivation, the true yuan is polished well, the true qi of the wind system has been transformed into the true yuan, and the entry is not slow, isn't it good?" Guo Zheng swept Lin Ruo's dantian with his divine sense, and he was already very clear about her recent cultivation situation, he was still very satisfied, Lin Ruo's true yuan was polished very solidly, it seems that she has gained a lot from this experience.

"What's okay? If you spend a lot of time polishing the true yuan now, the cultivation has been delayed a lot, and ah, her wind system true yuan can't be integrated into the mutated true yuan, and she has to be distracted to control two different true yuan when she cultivates, and now the cultivation of the four people who went to the same experience has surpassed her, are you embarrassed to say it's good?" Hearing Guo Zheng's somewhat satisfied tone, Lin Xie completely exploded, and could no longer suppress the anger in his heart, this Guo Zheng was simply misleading people's children.

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Not caring about Lin Xie's anger, Guo Zheng looked at Lin Ruo with doubt, and the latter nodded yes. Guo Zheng continued: "The two problems are actually one problem, that is, the cultivation of the realm has become slower, and the problem of the true element of the wind system has been solved, and the cultivation of the realm can naturally improve a lot, I have a way to do this, right here?"

"The sooner the better. Lin Xie looked incredulous, and he was also worried that Guo Zheng would take the opportunity to escape.

"It's fine. Lin Ruo, calm and concentrating, will guard the dantian. "For the sake of safety, Guo Zheng did not use the Yuan Shen, but only used the power of the Yuan Infant to urge a True Yuan to enter Lin Ruo's dantian, but this time it was not as directly as last time to forcibly aggregate the true yuan with the true yuan, but to take Lin Ruo's true yuan out of her body, and after entering Guo Zheng's body, it took a circle to complete the aggregation and send it back to Lin Ruo's dantian.

All this happened very quickly, Lin Xie was dumbfounded, can he still be like this? This can be regarded as a miraculous skill, could it be that he has lost his eyes? This Guo Zheng is really a hidden master?

Ignoring Lin Xie's thoughts, Guo Zheng showed a look of surprise, just when he had just gathered Lin Ruo's true yuan, he found that Lin Ruo's new true yuan seemed to contain the power of thunder and lightning, not the thunder and lightning of the thunder tribulation, but the thunder and lightning of nature, but even if it was not, such a true yuan to practice the thunder method was also very suitable, Guo Zheng was rarely excited. Before the retreat, he was still thinking about whether to accept a successor, but as soon as he got out of the retreat, he found that Lin Ruo's true yuan had mutated again, which was very suitable for practicing the thunder method he had created, how could he not be excited.

"What? Do you want to accept Ruoruo as an apprentice? Guo Zheng, it's not that I look down on you, you're just a librarian in a library, and your cultivation in the Transformation Period is not bad, but after all, you haven't really taken students, how can you accept apprentices?" After Lin Xie heard that Guo Zheng was going to accept Lin Ruo as an apprentice, although his words seemed reasonable, he actually revealed strong opposition. What else do you have to say to completely break Guo Zheng's thoughts of accepting disciples, and suddenly he felt a terrifying aura descending on him, which was a tremor from the depths of his soul.

"What does Vice Dean Lin think of my divine sense?" As soon as the divine sense was received, Guo Zheng looked at Lin Xie with an incredible expression.

"You sent this breath?" Lin Xie asked in disbelief.

"That's right, I call this the power of divine consciousness, not only can it emit such an aura, after cultivating, the sea of consciousness will expand, the divine sense will be strong, and the control of the true yuan will be more nuanced, and at the same time, it will be of great benefit to the improvement of cultivation to the realm. โ€ใ€‚ Looking at Lin Ruo again, Guo Zheng said seriously: "Lin Ruo's natural divine sense is stronger than ordinary people, the reason why her cultivation speed has always been ahead of others in this elegant poem, if she practices my divine consciousness method, her progress will definitely be rapid." โ€
