Black Myth: Starting from the Destined One Chapter 137 - 137 133 Achieving Earth Immortal

Chapter 137: Chapter 133 Achieving Earth Immortal! Chapter 137: Chapter 133 Achieving Earth Immortal! Li Ping’an imdiately opened his suitcase and took out the Taoist classics he borrowed from the museum, disregarding the books about “Spells” and “Techniques,” focusing solely on the “Dao”!

There was only one book that led him into the Dao, and that was “Yellow Court Taoist Scripture”; Li Ping’an read it with a mind free of distractions.

“Four energies combined, stars aligned, purple smoke ascends and descends, forming three primal clouds; Watering the Five Splendors plants the Spiritual Root, seven fluids freely flowing through the spinal gaps.”

According to what Zixia had said before, the cultivation realms in the world of “Black Myth: The Fated One” were divided into:

Lower four realms: Qi Gathering Realm, Clay Figure Realm, Guxuan Realm, Mysterious Heart Realm (Dragon Gate); Middle three realms: Li Yuan Realm, Kong Ming Realm, Jade Purity Realm; Upper three realms: Realm of Silence, Realm of Return to Reality, Realm of Immortal Arrival; Supre Realm: Dao Follows Nature, Grand Silence of the Dao, I Am the Dao…

Once a cultivator reached the Mysterious Heart Realm among the lower four realms of cultivation, they attained the realm of an Earth Immortal, becoming what is called an “Earth Immortal”!

If they reached the middle three realms of immortal cultivation, they would be in the realm of Terrestrial Immortals. Moving from Earth Immortal to Terrestrial Immortal is a threshold for cultivators, much like a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, undergoing a transformation, thus the Mysterious Heart Realm is also called the Dragon Gate Realm.

And these four lines from the “Yellow Court Taoist Scripture” encapsulate the transition from the “Guxuan Realm” to the “Mysterious Heart Realm”.

Simple as these four lines and twenty-eight words may seem, they contain vast information.

The “four energies” in “Four energies combined, stars aligned” refer to the four seasonal energies, subtly indicating the mysteries of heaven and earth.

“Stars aligned” ans the sun and moon wax and wane, and the stars are set in space, representing heaven, earth, and man, the three sceneries. When these three sceneries rge, one can glimpse the vast primordial universe.

Thus, the general aning of the first line “Four energies combined, stars aligned” is:

Always retain the primordial Qi within the body, concurrently hold the sun, moon, and stars, let the spiritual light illuminate, spatially arrayed throughout the body, clearly rging with heaven, over ti, beco spiritually perceptive, allowing the heart to rge with the Dao.

However, to expound upon it in detail, tens of thousands of words of comntary would hardly suffice to understand it.

After comprehending the aning of this phrase, in just this short mont, Li Ping’an’s eyes began to flicker with golden purple light, more dense and pure than the purple light emanated when he previously used the Divine Skill: Insight into the Hidden; gradually, signs of transformation appeared.

“Purple smoke, the essence of visual perception, so it is! So it is indeed!”

After Li Ping’an enlightened the aning of the first sentence, he instantly cultivated the “purple smoke” from the second sentence “purple smoke ascends and descends, forming three primal clouds”, and only then truly understood what “purple smoke” was.

The “three primal clouds” in “purple smoke ascends and descends, forming three primal clouds” refer to the “Spirit” in the Upper Dantian Qi Sea, the “Qi” in the Middle Dantian Qi Sea, and the “Essence” in the Lower Dantian Qi Sea.

As long as the “Essence,” “Qi,” and “Spirit” in the Dantian Qi Seas are interconnected from bottom to top, transforming lower “Essence” into middle “Qi,” and middle “Qi” to upper “Spirit,” the spirit entering the Dao, such cyclic repetition can water and nurture the Spiritual Seedling of the Dao.

At that very instant, Li Ping’an’s spirit quivered unexpectedly, his Spirit Platform beca instantly lucid, his divinity abruptly internalized, and the Divine Skill: Secluded Cave and Spirit Expulsion autonomously activated, automatically manifesting, the “Spirit” transcended into the Dao, echoing his entire being. Li Ping’an’s bones, bloodlines, vital organs, muscles, blood vessels, acupoints, and ridians and so forth, were all vividly perceived by the “Spirit”!

As the Attribute Template in his mind changed quietly, Li Ping’an finally stepped from the Qi Gathering Realm into the mysterious heart realm within a short half-month, officially becoming a true Earth Immortal!

As long as he successfully breaks through the mysterious heart realm next, he would be able to leap over the Dragon Gate, stepping into the Middle Three Realms of Immortal Cultivation—Li Yuan Realm, and beco a “Terrestrial Immortal”!

The mysterious heart realm that Li Ping’an had just entered is also known as the Dragon Gate Realm, a na that certainly has its reasons, for one must endure the hardship of leaping over the Dragon Gate to reach it, which cannot be achieved overnight. One must hold on to the original intention of not forgetting the Taoist Heart and seeking one’s own path; otherwise, rely pursuing the speed of cultivation would lead to the sa outco as pursuing powerful spells, ultimately falling into demonhood.

With the breakthrough and elevation of one’s own realm, spells naturally evolve and transform.

The Five Peaks Seal of the Clay Figure Realm burns one’s own Essence, Qi, and Spirit. The Guxuan Realm burns Mana and Spiritual Essence. After reaching the mysterious heart realm, it further progresses by integrating one’s “Spirit” into Mana and Spiritual Essence, freely manipulating and shaping at will, transforming into the Tiangang Five Peaks Seal, with the “Spirit” shaping. It can now directly conjure five great mountains with Mana, suppressing everything, where a brush ans injury, and a touch ans death.

The Five-colored Lotus Seal also transford into the Nine-Ranked Lotus Platform Seal, with effects of Suppressing, Protecting, Warding off Evil, Gathering Spirit, Demons Extermination, and Eliminating Demons improved several tis over, the effects are incomparably stronger than before.

Not only have Li Ping’an’s spells strengthened and transford, but through this cultivation, he has also comprehended new Divine Skills: Divine Travel and Teleportation!

Divine Travel, that is, the spirit transcends the body, and the Primordial Spirit leaving the body, which ans that the “Divine” within Li Ping’an, can not only move freely within his own body but also leave the body to a certain distance!

At advanced stages of cultivation, one can “Externalize the Yang Spirit,” aning one’s own “Divine” can freely leave the body, roam between heaven and earth, feeling everything that happens, and no changes of all things can escape the observation of the “Divine.”

Currently, what Li Ping’an’s cultivation level allows him to do is:

Not to see with eyes, but with the soul in the Liver; not to hear with ears, but with the essence in the Kidney; not to speak with the tongue, but with the spirit in the Heart; not to sll with the nose, but with the Qi in the Lungs; not to move limbs, but with the intent in the Spleen…

This ans that even if Li Ping’an’s seven openings: ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind are blocked, shutting off auditory, olfactory, visual, and tactile senses, he can still perceive everything happening in the external world through his own “Divine.”

Of course, currently, due to limitations in cultivation, the range for Externalizing the “Divine” is about twenty ters. Within this twenty ters, Li Ping’an can do everything such as listening, seeing, slling, and more; he can even communicate secretly using the “Divine” with others who can also “Externalize the Yang Spirit”, unknown to others.

Teleportation, also known as commanding the Five Ghosts to transport wealth, also called Five Ghosts Transportation, actually ans condensing one’s own intent and spirit to move and transport people or objects.
