In the quiet room, Chen Yun was sensing his own physical condition.
Once the third round of initial practice is mastered, the three Qi of his body has been purified.
His cultivation finally broke through to the late stage of the human realm, just a step away from the earthly fairy realm.
"According to my design of this round of cultivation, the pill will enter the dan field, flow to the left rib, sweat from four limbs, to restrain the soul gas. From now on, I will have no three soul souls in my body."
The three bodies, also known as the three worms and the three souls.
According to Taoist belief, the so-called three ghosts are actually of the category of spiritual beings.
"Three spirits, as described in the Inner Canon of Baopuzi, are not physically manifested but are indeed the souls and spirits of ghosts and deities. They aim to cause premature death; if they succeed, these spirits will become ghosts and will indulge in self-indulgent activities while enjoying human sacrifices and libations."
Why are humans called "human immortals"?
Because they are still in the stage of humans, but have stepped onto the path to immortality.
Only by cutting off the three ghosts can true and complete cultivation to become an immortal be considered complete.
Otherwise, there are still three ghosts in the body, which will not only affect their mind state but also potentially tarnish their immortal body, so one day the physical body may rot, unable to cultivate out an essence spirit, and finally they have no choice but to fall into reincarnation.
Chen Yun has now cut off the three ghosts.
There are no longer any negative factors of the three ghosts in his own body.
The essence spirit, which has not yet condensed into a form, appears particularly clear at this moment.
It's as if clearing away the clouds to see the blue sky, with all the dust dispersed.
A saying goes that "true people don't dream."
A person who has truly achieved Dao and immortality will not dream.
The main reason is that ordinary people dream because of the influence of the three ghosts.
Now that Chen Yun has completely cut off the three ghosts, naturally, he will no longer "dream".
He has reached the state of "the ancient true people, their awakening self-forget, their sleep do not dream" described in "Li Zi. Talking Dreams".
To put it simply, before, calling Chen Yun "the True Person" was a respectful way of addressing him.
Now, he has truly achieved the state of "the ancient true person".
"Only by cutting off the three ghosts can the essence spirit be clear and then use the pill essence to cultivate and grow. Otherwise, with the three ghosts in the body, it is impossible to cultivate out an essence spirit, at best one can only refine a yin spirit."
Chen Yun couldn't help but secretly exclaim, "After practicing for tens of years, I am finally close to reaching the cultivation state of essence spirit that everyone has longed for."
Moreover, the benefits of the third round's entry and exit threshold are far more than just the perfection of the body, the qualitative change of the pill essence, and the true person's lack of dreams.
Because Chen Yun has integrated this turn with "Pangu True Body Scripture".
Therefore, after entering the threshold of this turn, the third level of "Pure Yang Refining Form" in "Pangu True Body Scripture" has achieved minor success.
Once the first level "True Body Refining Form" of the "Pangu True Body Scripture" is completed, it allows one to have immunity to blades and arrows, as well as fire and water, with greatly increased self-recovery speed, and even easily achieve the ability to regenerate lost limbs.
The second level of Yin-Yang Refining Form, as described in the book, can transform the body into a harmonious union of yin and yang, achieving a true immortal body.
At this point, even if he does not absorb energy from the outside, the yin and yang harmony within his body will continuously generate energy, allowing him to possess more powerful power than others and elevate his cultivation speed to an extent that ordinary people cannot imagine.
It is precisely because of this reason that Chen Yun, during his confrontation with Xie Wu Yang, continuously drove the Qibao Miraculous Tree, and his body's pill essence remained abundant, unlike the opponent who nearly exhausted the wind god flag immortal essence after using it only a few times.
This is the benefit of power that lasts a long time.
As for the third level of pure yang refining form, it is to refine the pure yang body, which can eliminate the ghost essence in the body. Not only is it easier to refine pure yang essence spirit, but also it can possess some "super powers".
For example, having seven orifices of wisdom, which allows one to hear all kinds of divine music in the world, etc.
These "super powers" are inherent and do not require the use of spells or incantations.
Chen Yun has just reached the minor success stage of "Pure Yang Refining Form", and besides being able to achieve the "omniscience" state during cultivation, he cannot hear the divine music at other times.
However, his body is gradually transforming towards purity and yang.
Even in the future when using most spells, he can unleash them at will.
Unlike before, when driving some powerful spells, he would still need to chant spells and coordinate with hand signs.
Just this one point alone will make his advantage in future battles even more pronounced.
"After this level is achieved, when I cultivate my essence spirit, I will be able to cultivate yang spirits faster than others in the future."
Chen Yun felt satisfied.
Chen Yun calculated his current combat power.
Under normal circumstances, with his high recovery ability and powerful body, he can basically ignore any normal spells of the early earthly stage.
Besides some powerful means that require attention, he can almost do so as to escape from the early stage of earthly realm.
As for wanting to kill someone in the early stage of the earthly realm, it is difficult unless "the power of killing" is exerted.
"If one reveals a thunder and fire Dao Body, or a golden demonic Dao Body, even if they cannot truly counteract the early earthly realm cultivators, it should not be as embarrassed as normal to run away."
Chen Yun thought to himself, "The thunder and fire Dao Body is likely to be difficult to withstand the early stage of the earthly realm, while the golden demonic Dao Body should be fine."
Although there is only a tiny difference between the late stage of the human realm and the early stage of the earthly realm, in reality, this tiny difference is as vast as a chasm.
It can be said that even if a hundred late stage cultivators of the human realm were to gather together, they might not be able to defeat a cultivator in the early stage of the earthly realm.
However, he now realized that as long as he could show the Golden Demon God Dao Body, he could stand up against the early stage of the earthly realm?
This is undoubtedly an exhilarating thought!
Chen Yun was very satisfied with his improvement.
The only thing that made him feel regretful was, "Even with my current strength, even if I can show the Golden Demon God Dao Body, I am not an opponent for Gou Teng Dao Ren. The only way to hit him would be to use the 'power of killing'.”
A thought occurred to him, and he couldn't help but show a wry smile.
"The power of killing" is so slow to be executed.
How could it possibly hit Gou Teng Dao Ren at the mid-stage of the earthly realm!
Chen Yun's eyes flickered. "I still have the purple-golden gourd given to me by the Supreme Tao Ancestor. If I can refine this gourd into a tool specifically for using the 'power of killing,' then there is a chance of a successful ambush in battle."
Yes, he knew in his heart that even if he refined the purple-golden gourd into a powerful tool, he could only count on ambushing Gou Teng Dao Ren in battle to have a chance of winning.
Why so say?
Because under normal circumstances, when you see someone pull out a magical artifact to confront you, wouldn't you be on guard?
Why would you be so stupid as to let someone else's magical artifact strike you?
The answer is definitely no.
Chen Yun doesn't believe that the "power of killing" with its "leisurely" speed can hit Gou Teng Dao Ren, a cultivator at the mid-stage of the earthly realm.
Unless the other party really has a problem and stands there letting themselves be attacked.
"Regardless of what, refining the purple-golden gourd into a tool is the only method I have for defeating Gou Teng Dao Ren at this moment."
Chen Yun's eyes became as bright as snow.
"Since I cut off the three ghosts, I have come to understand that if I cannot kill Gou Teng Dao Ren, it is very likely that I will never be able to bring my essence spirit out."
That deep-seated "indignation" and "anger" originating from his soul.
Chen Yun can usually suppress it with his strong Dao heart.
But no matter how much he represses it, this "indignation" and "anger" never disappear.
The essence spirit exists like a child.
If affected by the "indignation" and "anger".
It cannot condense into a shape.
Even if forced to condense, there might be damage to the foundation.
This damage could very well be irreversible.
Chen Yun realized this truth, so he analyzed the possibility of defeating Gou Teng Dao Ren after breakthrough to the late stage of the human realm.
He wants to personally kill the other party, completely complementing the incomplete part of the Dao heart.
Unfortunately, after a moment of analysis, he came to a conclusion.
Under the current circumstances, the possibility of defeating Gou Teng Dao Ren is very small.
Small enough to be almost negligible.
Thinking so, Chen Yun extended his hand and suddenly a wind god banner appeared in the palm of his hand.
"It seems that whether we can defeat Gou Teng Dao Ren depends on whether the wind god banner can coordinate with the purple-golden gourd."
Chen Yun was curious about the wind god flag.
He was far stronger than Xie Wu Yang during their previous battle.
Logically speaking, if everyone doesn't have magical artifacts, he could completely eliminate Xie Wu Yang with a spell.
However, it was the wind god flag that bridged the gap between Xie Wu Yang and his massive strength.
It can be said that the power of the wind god flag is something rare that Chen Yun has encountered in his cultivation journey to date.
"It's a pity that I don't have Gray Grandpa's 'Eternal Frost Water'. Otherwise, it would be relatively easy to kill Gou Teng Dao Ren."
Chen Yun pondered, if the wind god flag and the purple-golden gourd could not defeat Gou Teng Dao Ren together, could he borrow "Eternal Frost Water" from Gray Grandpa?
From the previous time Gray Grandpa displayed the "Eternal Frost Water" and froze an unparalleled demon king, we can see that it can solidify.
If Chen Yun were to display this artifact, he is certain that he could solidify Gou Teng Dao Ren, thus using the law tool refined from the purple-golden gourd to kill the other party in one stroke.
"Let's see if the wind god flag can help me kill Gou Teng Dao Ren," Chen Yun thought to himself. "If the wind god flag doesn't work, I can always borrow 'Eternal Frost Water' from Gray Grandpa later."
Although borrowing "Eternal Frost Water" directly has a higher chance of success, he believes that Gray Grandpa would lend it to him.
After all, he had saved those several elders of the earthly realm in the underworld before.
But, when it comes to borrowing artifacts, it's best not to do it unless necessary.
And besides, whether it's about human relationships or not.
Just say if you can't win.
What if the artifact falls into someone else's hands.
What can you return to the other party?
Secondly, Gray Grandpa owes Chen Yun a debt of saving his life.
But in reality, if he hadn't killed the demon king back then, Chen Yun might have died as well.
So, in terms of human relationship, this is not a very big debt.
If he were to go to Gray Grandpa's door and borrow an artifact, he would owe a debt to Gray Grandpa.
Chen Yun was certainly aware of what Gray Grandpa wanted to obtain from him.
It's nothing more than letting the hall of Gray family's cultivators join the true origin of the Tao.
He already felt quite annoyed having a disciple named Chang Wei following him and teaching, not to mention the trouble of letting the hall of Gray family's cultivators join the true origin of the Tao.
If there were to be another nominal disciple, or even a formal one, it would be unbearable.
This artifact, it's best not to borrow if possible.
Thinking so, Chen Yun began to follow the method given by Xie Wu Yang to raise the wind god flag and explore the specific function of this artifact.
He activated the spirit qi to merge with it.
In the next moment, the wind god banner caused a gust of wind that enveloped Chen Yun completely.
Chen Yun carefully differentiated it, immediately sensing that this gentle wind possessed strong defensive capabilities, allowing him to ignore most spells, artifacts, and melee attacks.
"Analyzing the properties of this breeze, it seems to be particularly vulnerable to ice and fire spells. However, spells of general power in ice and fire are also unable to penetrate its defense. After all, it is an artifact with a very strong defense. Even if there is a property that counters it, you cannot extinguish a roaring flame in a cauldron with a drop of water."
"Chen Yun felt the defensive power of the wind, 'However, if it is also an equally powerful artifact that releases ice and fire powers, it is still relatively easy to break through its defense.'"
Understanding this, he couldn't help but show a look of enlightenment.
Finally, he understood why Xie Wu Yang could use this artifact to act as the tribulation for Gou Teng Dao Ren back then.
It seems that the wind god banner can immune to powers other than ice and fire.
It can be said that this alone makes the wind god banner invaluable.
Because once the enemy lacks powerful ice and fire powers, they will never have a chance of winning against the wind god banner.
Unless it's like when I used it before, slowly wearing down the power of the user until it's completely consumed.
Moreover, the reason why he could use the Seven Treasures Wonders earlier was that when the wind god flag was used to confront, it hurt Xie Wu Yang and completely because of "all attributes" power contained in the Seven Treasures Wonders, naturally also has ice and fire power.
But it is just that his cultivation is still relatively weak, and the Seven Treasures Wonders cannot unleash its true power.
So while ice and fire powers can break through some of the wind god banner's defenses, they cannot cause significant harm.
"Gou Teng Dao Ren's stellar essence spirit should not possess ice and fire powers, so it is almost impossible to break through the wind god flag's defense."
Chen Yun recollected Gou Teng Dao Ren's methods, "But he has the starry divine fire shield. The power of that artifact in terms of fire-based damage might far exceed the wind god banner's defense. Therefore, I should not be able to use the wind god banner to resist the starry divine fire shield."
He did not feel disappointed about this.
Xie Wu Yang was a man of justice. If he dared to hand over the wind god banner in exchange for his son's life, he must have known that the wind god banner could not cause any harm to Gou Teng Dao Ren.
Otherwise, considering the other party's previous determination to die, even if their body and spirit were destroyed, they would not have shared the method of using the wind god banner with him.
"However, the wind god banner is not just a defensive tool. I remember Xie Wu Yang also used it to unleash powerful storm attacks. That kind of storm that is like a concept is beyond my physical strength, even if I were stronger."
Chen Yun pondered, "If I can use the wind god banner to unleash a powerful destructive power and create a vast and desolate environment that makes Gou Teng Dao Ren distracted, maybe, I can use the law tool refined from the purple-golden gourd to release 'power of murder law' and blow up the other party successfully."
Holding the wind god banner, Chen Yun kept injecting power, trying to find out if, by unleashing the artifact's full power to the strongest he could achieve at his current stage, it would be as he guessed and cause Gou Teng Dao Ren to be distracted.
Soon, Chen Yun discovered it.
The answer is that he can indeed use the wind god banner to unleash power comparable to the mid-stage earthly realm full strength attack.
And because the released power is a conceptual storm, even Gou Teng Dao Ren, being a mid-stage earthly realm cultivator, would have to retreat or counterattack.
Once the other party does so, he can definitely use the "power of murder law" released by the purple-golden gourd to truly kill them.
Of course, Chen Yun was very cautious. Xie Wu Yang dared to leave the artifact and formula behind, which must have been calculated.
He thought that the chance of defeating Gou Teng Dao Ren with just the purple-golden gourd and the wind god banner was still relatively slim.
"Furthermore, I still need some materials to refine the purple-golden gourd into a law tool."
The eyes of Lu Li flashed, "Those precious materials are hard to find outside, but the fifty-year term is approaching. I can certainly go into the Moon Lake cave again and gather all kinds of precious materials needed to refine the purple-golden gourd into a law tool, even..."
A mental image of the green lamp appeared in his mind involuntarily.
"If the power of that green lamp artifact is strong enough, I might not even need to refine the purple-golden gourd law tool, and there would be a chance to completely destroy Gou Teng Dao Ren!"
Chen Yun's face became determined. He must kill Gou Teng Dao Ren in order to cultivate his own essence.
Then, in order to kill Gou Teng Dao Ren, it seems I will have to enter the Moon Lake Cave again.
He never takes risks without a guarantee.
Now with only the wind god banner and the purple-golden gourd, it is unlikely to defeat Gou Teng Dao Ren.
How could he rashly challenge someone to a life-and-death fight just because of that?
To be honest, if he really did that, it would only mean that his brain was retarded.
Chen Yun knew that he had to go to the Moon Lake Cave.
He must go again.
To obtain the precious materials needed to refine the purple-golden gourd law tool.
And……that green lamp artifact!
Thinking about the things in the Moon Lake Cave.
Chen Yun couldn't help but recall the figures of old friends like Wu Kejiu, Long Nǚ Sanjiu, and Gao Cheng who had been decades apart.
"I wonder how Wu Kejiu, Long Nǚ Sanjiu, and Gao Cheng are doing now."
Chen Yun did not waste his spiritual power on divination. He believed that everything was destined.
If fate leads us to cross paths with these people, we will certainly meet again.
The only exciting idea he has is whether Wu Kejiu, Long Nǚ Sanjiu, and Gao Cheng will be surprised to see that Chen Yun has become a immortal.
