Time flies, another month has passed.
Since the advent of the divine general and his divine soldiers, Chen Yun's progress in learning the dragon-slaying technique from his mentor has been progressing by leaps and bounds.
That is, just yesterday, he mastered the complete dragon-slaying technique.
At present, what is lacking is just the ability to fully master what has been learned.
As for Hetian Granma, she waited for about half a month here, but eventually had to leave early due to some pressing matters.
However, before leaving, she left an address for Chen Yun, telling him to go and learn from the Eastern Realm Immortal after he has completed his studies on the dragon-slaying technique.
This morning.
Chen Yun had just finished practicing the martial arts technique that integrates Taoist techniques into the dragon-slaying technique, and was preparing to freshen up before reading some Taoist scriptures for a while.
Suddenly, Zhongli Yuanquan walked out, nodded slightly, and said, "Chongyun, in the past two months, your cultivation has increased a lot. Although you haven't reached the late stage of Seventh-Celestial Magistrate, you have learned the dragon-slaying technique and currently have the ability to protect yourself. Now that I have nothing else to teach you except for techniques, why not set off and visit the Eastern Realm Immortal?"
Chen Yun hurriedly said, "The disciple accepts the order."
Zhongli Yuanquan pointed to the divine hall on the west side dedicated to the divine general and divine soldiers, "Take them along with you. Perhaps you might encounter evil spirits and monsters on the way, and you can also accumulate some merit."
Chen Yun said, "Okay."
Zhongli Yuanquan was about to turn around when he suddenly remembered something else, "Have you recently sensed the Dao QI within your body?"
It's better not to talk about this matter.
As soon as it was mentioned, Chen Yun couldn't help but feel a bit annoyed.
After coming to Qingcheng Mountain for two months, with the help of the Refining Essence into Qi Soup, his cultivation has advanced from the early stage of a Seventh-Celestial Magistrate to the middle stage. Although there is still some distance to the late stage, he felt that as long as he finishes consuming the remaining Refining Essence into Qi Soup, not to mention reaching the late stage, there is also hope to reach the sixth level of Magistrate.
The dragon-slaying technique has been learned.
Both physical and subtle soul cultivation are not lagging behind.
Only the Dao Qi, I have no sense of it at all.
Chen Yun is indeed eager to feel the existence of Dao Qi as soon as possible and manifest a powerful Dao body.
But what can you do if you can't feel it?
He spoke honestly, "Reporting to Master, the disciple has not yet sensed it temporarily."
Zhongli Yuanquan did not show any hint of disappointment, and said lightly, "The Dao Qi contained in the fire date fruit is now hidden within your body. Only when you feel it can you truly manifest it through the divine unity. Perhaps it is because your physical body is not strong enough at present that you cannot sense the existence of Dao Qi. Fortunately, you are going to visit the Eastern Realm Immortal to learn about the flesh refinement technique this time. Maybe after learning and vigorously refining your physical body, you will be able to sense the existence of Dao Qi and manifest a Dao body."
Chen Yun blinked and asked, "Is the ability to sense Dao Qi related to the strength of one's physical body?"
Zhongli Yuanquan nodded and said, "There is a certain relationship, but it's not necessarily a fact, it can only be said that the stronger the physical body is, the greater the likelihood of sensing Dao Qi. Of course, there are also some people who stimulate Dao Qi through methods that bring their physical body to the brink of death."
Chen Yun made a sound of surprise, "Experiencing near-death may stimulate Dao Qi?"
Zhongli Yuanquan said, "Yes."
Chen Yun weakly asked, "Has anyone succeeded?"
Zhongli Yuanquan waved his fan, "Yes."
Oh, so it's possible to stimulate Dao Qi by being on the brink of death.
Chen Yun pondered whether he should also try to take the opportunity to see if he could stimulate Dao Qi and accelerate its appearance.
Thinking about it, he asked again: "What if it fails?"
Zhongli Yuanquan looked at him with a wry smile, "What could happen if it fails? Of course, it would be death."
Chen Yun: "……"
All right.
It's better not to try in that way.
Chen Yun practices Daoism in order to attain immortality, not to gain power.
More accurately, gaining power is just a byproduct of the path to immortality.
Of course, to achieve immortality without strong power to protect oneself is not feasible. For example, in "Journey to the West," the Tang Monk may not be able to achieve immortality himself, but his flesh can grant immortality. Without the protection of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, he could not maintain his "immortality."
After all, immortality is not eternal life.
After chatting with Master for a while, Chen Yun packed his luggage and then took the divine statue and plaque of the divine general and soldiers, riding his mount and setting off.
Actually, it's fine not to bring the statue and plaque of the divine general and soldiers, as they can be summoned from a distance. However, if the journey is very long, it will still take time for the divine general and soldiers to arrive. If something urgent happens, there's a chance that I might be destroyed before they can come to my aid. Therefore, it's more convenient to have them with me.
After Chen Yun left, Zhongli Yuanquan looked down at the mountain and frowned, "The head disciple of the Yin Sect, Yin Wuji, has come to pay a visit. I am not suitable to deal with it, so should I let the old Zhi come over to take care of it?"
He thought for a moment and suddenly burst into a laugh, "I can protect Chongyong for a while. Can I protect him for his whole life?"
