    Chen Yun wanted to open the Six Avoidance Scroll, but no matter how hard he exerted himself, the scroll remained still.

    "Hmm, this is strange." He puzzled over the Six Escape Map Scroll, "Why can't I open it?"

    He has practiced the Flying Spirit Jade Talisman.

    The first transformation has reached its perfected state.

    His arms dare not say of stunning force.

    At the very least, it is basically no problem to cooperate with the Dan Qi Bear Mountain and Race the Sun.

    Now, his own so powerful strength to open the scroll can not?

    Chen Yun pondered for a moment.

    At the beginning, he really had no idea.

    Suddenly, he noticed the six different colors of light emanating from the scroll.

    "Could it be that these six beams of light represent one of the six evasions each? Perhaps I need to merge with the light to uncover the mysteries?"

    Chen Yun thought for a moment.

    He tried to touch the white light that belonged to the tiger escape with his spiritual consciousness.

    The next moment, a miraculous scene surged forth abruptly.

    He felt that his spiritual being was still within his body, but the "consciousness" of the god was pulled into a strange space.

    ……

    Within the mystical space.

    As Chen Yun's "consciousness" entered, he saw a vast expanse of endless white light shining here.

    As if, the whole world is composed of white light.

    If he had only seen an endless sea of white light, it wouldn't have been miraculous to him.

    Chen Yun felt amazed because he sensed various aspects of yang energy within the white light, such as killing, courage, and pure yang.

    This feeling was quite incredible.

    It seemed that if one could comprehend the "meaning" contained within a single beam of white light, they could master infinite power.

    Moreover, at this moment, Chen Yun's subconscious was constantly being amplified.

    The benevolence he harbored allowed him to feel compassion towards all beings in the world, as if every living thing was his own child.

    The malevolent thoughts within him made him yearn to destroy the world and its void, everything and anything.

    It seemed that all things in the world should not exist, and only he could be suspended above the eternal.

    Hegemony!

    Ultimate hegemony!

    Chen Yun almost got lost in it.

    Fortunately, at this time, another beam of white light drifted in and touched his consciousness.

    Instantly, Chen Yun felt a profound sensation of the bravery of a ferocious tiger, with barrier-defying yang energy, the mystery of the tiger's evasion and retreat, making the luminous barrier even more deadly.

    "No, the Six Evasions are too profound for me to comprehend at the moment."

    Chen Yun didn't dare to stay any longer.

    He withdrawal his consciousness from the Tiger Evasion.

    ……

    Return to reality.

    Chen Yun sighed heavily.

    Although he only stayed in the magical space of the Tiger Evasion for a short while, the impact was significant.

    That supreme hegemony and destruction were deeply captivating.

    He felt an inner belief that those who followed him would thrive and those who opposed him would perish.

    "This ultimate hegemony is something I cannot comprehend at my current level."

    Chen Yun pondered in the dark: "If I forcefully comprehend, I will only get lost in the Tiger Escape Law and even fall into the demonic path of murder."

    Let's take a look at the "Taiping Qingling Shu" first.

    He remembered that Lu Zhi and Yu Ji previously mentioned that the "Taiping Qingling Shu" could aid him in cultivating the "Dunxia Tianshu."

    Chen Yun estimated that the "Taiping Qingling Shu" might be like a low-level version of the "Dunxia Tianshu."

    Therefore, as long as he could comprehend it, he would be able to better grasp how to cultivate the "Dunxia Tianshu."

    I will put the Six Evasion Scroll into the space of the Sky-Treasure Art.

    He searched the Sky-Treasure Art space.

    He found the first volume of the "Taiping Qingling Shu" and then took it out to sit and read.

    When he opened it, the preface read: "I had the fortune to obtain a divine scripture at the Yangquan River, which was developed into one hundred and seventy volumes, known as the 'Taiping Qingling Shu'. I hope that future generations will have a heart full of love and achieve enlightenment by keeping one."

    A brief sentence introduced the origin of the "Taiping Qingling Shu" and also warned future readers to keep a heart full of love and achieve enlightenment by keeping one.

    Chen Yun observed the calligraphy.

    There is a feeling of mystic and profound.

    It seems that these calligraphy strokes are just spells.

    "If I follow these strokes, it seems that I can create various kinds of mysterious spells."

    Chen Yun looked in wonder and secretly thought, "Yu Ji Teacher really has remarkable skills, even a preface contains so many mysteries."

    As he flipped to the first page, it read: Recite my scripture carefully and accurately, and disasters will not rise again. This is the ancient wisdom written by sages who were keenly aware of the gains and losses. The scripture has three levels: one is called the "Divine Path," which does not deviate from reality, holds onto its root, aligns with yin and yang, and communicates with deities; the second is called the "Core Events" text that involves concrete events; and the third is a record of irrelevant anecdotes. The Divine Path texts do not deviate from reality, hold onto its root, align with yin and yang, and communicate with deities……

    There is no specific information here.

    He continued to flip to the second page, where there were the main text.

    Chen Yun silently recited in his mind: "The scripture says: 'Holy Master Li, whose given name is Hong Yuan Yangling, also known as Xuan Shui Yu Jing, with the characters of Ming Guang and Yuan……When a Daoist ascends the mountain, the dirty water flows violently. He rides on a whirlpool and survives death to save others. In death he generates life, respectively……Not true of the divinity that illuminates the three celestial bodies with Ugu's starlight; extinguishes evil people from water and fire……Therefore it does not deceive.'"

    Although there is still no specific method of cultivation here, it mentions some core concepts of cultivation.

    Chen Yun calmed down and pondered for a while. He roughly understood that this passage, although seemingly writing about sanctity and the behavior of the sanctified, was actually describing the Dao of Godliness.

    "I had always thought that the Dao of Godliness was something that could only be achieved by relying on the power of incense and flames, but I never imagined that one could actually cultivate into a god directly. Interesting."

    Chen Yun analyzed and concluded that while the Dao of Godliness and cultivation share some similarities, there are many differences as well.

    As for the ultimate result, the Dao of Godliness is more like being attached to the heavens and earth, able to obtain various "conceptual" abilities, but relatively weak on its own.

    The path of the immortals is different; it strengthens the self, and after merging with the Tao, one can truly master "conceptual" abilities.

    After understanding the overview, Chen Yun began reading the main text.

    And then…

    Hm, can't understand it.

    He took out a total of thirty-four volumes from the Sky-Treasure Art space and couldn't understand them at all.

    Chen Yun was patient, so he took out the thirty-fifth volume to check its content.

    "Before the true person, Zili came to learn the Dao, and it has already been sufficient but not excessive..."

    He recited each word slowly in his mind, "Nothing can be prepared in abundance. It is the poorest family among the underclass. This is the poverty of the heavens and earth. The source of everything comes out of it, and it nurtures it without harm. It is a wealthy land... This takes heaven as the father and earth as the mother. When these parents are at their poorest extreme, their child worries about poverty... Therefore, heavenly spirits come to depend on this person. However, this person harms them instead. The sky severely reproaches him but he does not stop it... Leave and take care of your own affairs. Only bowing respectfully..."

    This time, Chen Yun understood it.

    He sat there thinking, "This passage seems to be written about the heavens and earth, but it is actually describing the cultivation method of the 'little heaven' within one's own body. If one can achieve what is written in the scripture, they can become a god."

    This god is different from the primordial soul. It is about truly becoming a god.

    Chen Yun, who practiced internal alchemy, was certainly not going to transform his path into the Dao of Godliness.

    Although it is impossible to change to the Dao of Godliness, after reading it, he felt that this scripture might have a great deal of help for his future cultivation of his primordial soul.

    He found that this scripture seemed to have an effect on his wild spirit embodiment.

    "I'll connect my consciousness with the wild spirit embodiment and impart this method of cultivating divinity to see if it can help it rapidly enhance its 'Divine Rank'."

    Thinking, Chen Yun closed his eyes.

    He communicated with the wild spirit embodiment.

    Transmitted the content of the scripture.

    After doing this, he opened his eyes and continued reading the thirty-fifth volume.

    This wasn't a good idea.

    Looking at it, Chen Yun couldn't help but show a peculiar expression on his face.

    Because the next one is about "Mystic Arts of Sex."

    Of course, if one looks carefully, it's not just about the mystic arts of sex but also about husband and wife within oneself.

    The sexual arts are quite easy to understand.

    What is the "Husband and Wife Within Oneself"?

    It's essentially the yin-yang way within the body.

    Chen Yun looked in some surprise, "The content of this scripture coincides with the internal alchemy I practice. If I can make use of it, my internal alchemy can be taken to a higher level."

    After carefully studying it for quite some time, he found something that made him both laugh and cry.

    This good thing was that, if using the mystic arts of sex for double cultivation, it might greatly help him at his current stage of cultivation.

    From the perspective of yin and yang, males are yang, while females are yin.

    Some "spirit energy" is rare within an individual's body and can only be cultivated through hard effort.

    If double cultivation is used, then it can be obtained from the other party's body, thus saving the hard work of self-cultivation.

    Chen Yun was puzzled and said, "My internal alchemy requires me to close the Yang gate. But this scripture tells me to open the Yang gate for double cultivation with a woman, which seems to contradict my internal alchemy."

    He sat there in deep thought, trying to find the common ground.

    According to the theory of internal alchemy, walking through jing (emotion) will offset one's cultivation.

    Therefore, if someone who has achieved cultivation wants to procreate, it will inevitably cause some damage to their cultivation.

    It can't be said that the cultivation is wasted, but it does involve spending true qi, which will require more time to make up for in the future.

    Chen Yun had experienced this during his hundred-day foundation establishment practice.

    At that time, he was tempted by the demoness Jinchaoqiao, who had transformed into the immortal Xian Gu.

    Therefore, he accidentally walked through jing.

    Afterward, he obtained the tiger whip of the tiger spirit, which allowed him to quickly compensate for his mistake.

    Back then, his cultivation level was low, and he had to spend several times the effort to make up for it.

    Now that his cultivation level is higher, if he were to waste his true qi, it might take him a year and a half to fully recover.

    The "Taiping Qingling Shu" does not hold the same view.

    This scripture suggests that during the time of union, even if one walks through jing, as long as there is a harmonious intermingling of yin and yang, it will not result in a loss of personal cultivation and can even contribute to the growth of one's cultivation.

    At first, Chen Yun really didn't understand this.

    Suddenly, he recalled the four characters "yin and yang intermingling."

    Chen Yun suddenly realized, "Right! The Taoist theory holds that the heavens and earth, all things, are generated by the harmonization of yin and yang. Yin and yang are the primordial forces; the Dao gives birth to One, One gives birth to Two, Two gives birth to Three, and Three gives birth to all things. The Two here refers to yin and yang."

    What is yin and yang?

    It refers to two forms.

    Chen Yun then recalled the Eastern and Western Immortals, who represent the two forms, the taiji.

    The Eastern and Western Immortals co-rule the two qi and nurture the heavens to create and nurture all things.

    "Since yin and yang can nurture the heavens and earth to create and nurture all things, they can also nurture the 'energy' needed for a cultivator."

    Chen Yun finally understood, "Therefore, if yin and yang are harmonized, it can indeed quickly enhance one's cultivation."

    In fact, the internal alchemy of husband and wife within oneself can achieve this as well.

    But because of the physical differences, the harmonization of husband and wife within oneself in internal alchemy is actually quite challenging.

    It requires a great deal of effort to nurture and transform into true qi.

    Now, the concept of the "Book of Supreme Clarity" is to view the male and female as a whole, as a furnace and hearth, not the internal alchemy itself as a furnace and hearth.

    Therefore, when yin and yang are harmonized, true qi can be produced more quickly.

    Chen Yun finally understood the principle and couldn't help but ponder to himself, "If I try this method, will it really be helpful?"

    If it works, maybe I can achieve enlightenment and become an immortal more quickly.

    But he was not certain yet.

    After all, he had already refined his immortal body.

    The true qi within his body has been completely transformed into dan qi.

    Dan qi and true qi differ by only one character.

    In reality, the energy they contain is vastly different.

    According to the Daoist scriptures, dan refers to pure yang.

    That is, dan qi is the force of pure yang.

    Therefore, Chen Yun really doesn't know whether the theory of "Taiping Qingling Shu" is useful or not.

    "Shall I try it?"

    Chen Yun blinked, "Wang Siyan also wants a child, so it might be worth a try. However, according to the 'Taiping Qingling Shu,' practicing this method may not help the other person conceive unless I waste my true qi."

    He never managed to make up his mind and sat there, deep in thought.

    He pondered for a long time.

    Gradually, the sky outside turned dark.

    Footsteps were heard outside the door.

    Wang Siyan walked in gracefully, "Brother Yun, you've been in the guest hall all day. Is there something on your mind?"

    Chen Yun looked up and saw that Wang Siyan was staring at him with a concerned expression.

    He thought to himself, "I do have a concern, and it is indeed related to you."

    Should he try it out?

    Chen Yun still didn't make a decision and decided to wait until later to discuss it with Wang Siyan in their room.

    Hmm, let's ask the other party's opinion.

    (Chapter ends)
