The Wudang Junior Master

Chapter 316 Is this Zhang Wuling’s true cultivation?

The Yang God comes out.

Perhaps many people have heard of this, but most people cannot understand it. Many people even think that the yang spirit is the soul leaving the body.

But this understanding seems a bit superficial.

To put it simply, the Yang God is a pure Yang body condensed from the innate true Qi and the Yuan Jing, Yuan Qi, and Yuan Shen. It is not a Yin ghost or spirit.

However, the three elements of Yuan Jing, Yuan Qi and Yuan Shen are different from the general essence, energy and spirit.

In "The Essentials of Wuzhen Danfa", it is said: "When gathered, it becomes a form; when dispersed, it becomes qi. Wherever it goes, the true spirit will appear, which is called Yang Shen."

Well, at first glance, this seems very similar to the triple state of reverse birth, but it is still different.

However, the "Records of Sayings of the United Sect of Immortals and Buddhas" emphasizes that the yang spirit must "silently illuminate the upper field, merge with everything else, and transform into a vast realm of emptiness" and ultimately become one with the Tao.

Inner alchemy practice returns the innate Qi through "harmony of the four images and gathering of the five elements" to form a "fetus", and this "fetus" is the prototype of the Yang God.

"Wu Zhen Pian" calls this process "the three families meet and form a baby."

However, in the "Five Spiritual Articles", Master Wang Chongyang mentioned that the emergence of the Yang Spirit is only the watershed of "refining the spirit and returning to emptiness", and finally one must cultivate to the state of pure Yang without Yin.

As for the Yang God, there is also a legend about Zi Yang Zhenren.

It is said that Zi Yang Zhenren once met a monk who could enter a state of meditation and travel hundreds of miles in an instant. He was very powerful.

One day, Zi Yang Zhenren invited the monk to go to Yangzhou to admire the magnolia flowers. The two of them sat down in a trance. When Zi Yang Zhenren arrived in Yangzhou, the monk had actually arrived there first.

After admiring the magnolia flowers, Zi Yang Zhenren suggested that they each pick a magnolia flower and take it back as a record.

Later, when they returned, the two woke up. Zhenren Zi Yang asked the monk where the Qionghua was. The monk stretched out his hands, but found nothing.

Then Master Zi Yang took out his own Qionghua, and the two of them admired and played with it together.

The disciples behind were puzzled and asked Master Zi Yang why. They were both in a trance, but one could bring back the Qionghua while the other couldn't.

Zi Yang Zhenren said: "The great way of the golden elixir is to cultivate both the nature and life. Therefore, when it gathers, it becomes form and when it disperses, it becomes qi. Wherever it goes, the true spirit will appear, and it is called the Yang God."

However, that monk only practiced the School of Nature and not the School of Life, so no one could see his figure or shadow wherever he went. This kind of monk is a Yin spirit, and a Yin spirit does not have the power to move objects.

This is also the difference between Buddhism and Taoism. One emphasizes "the perfection of both form and spirit", while the other emphasizes "abandoning form and seeking spirit".

But no matter what, being able to reach the state of Yang Shen is a very terrifying thing.

Being able to cultivate the Yang God is basically the same as getting a ticket to ascension.

However, Queen Chen believed that releasing the Yang Spirit was a Quanzhen practice that outsiders were not supposed to be able to do, and that there was a misunderstanding here.

Quanzhen cultivates the Yang God and has its own techniques for cultivating the Yang God, but the Yang God is not something that can be cultivated by Quanzhen Taoists only.

To be precise, as long as your life cultivation reaches a certain level, you can do it naturally.

Although everyone practices different methods, they all reach the same destination in the end.

Of course, that’s what I said, but how many people in the world who practice Taoism can reach this level in thousands of years?

The reason why Zhang Wuling was able to do this was inseparable from True Man Zi Yang.

If Zhang Wuling had not gotten the opportunity in the Jiuqu Panhuan Cave, he probably wouldn't be able to achieve this step now, let alone become a Yang God, even a Yin God would be difficult to produce.

They say 'a man getting pregnant is hilarious,' but if you could actually pull it off, who would laugh at you? I'd be so envious!

Taoist Feng stared at Zhang Wuling intently, then suddenly smiled: "Okay, okay!"

"What a great Zhang Wuling! I never thought you'd reached the stage of producing a Yang Spirit. I underestimated you. Your Wudang ancestor must have put in a lot of effort in heaven for you to be born into this world."

Apart from this reason, Taoist Feng didn't know how else to explain why Zhang Wuling had reached this level of cultivation at such a young age.

This was not only shocking, but if Feng Laodao didn't have a good character, he would have wanted to commit suicide.

Cultivate Taoism? What the hell! They are all just connections!

Zhang Wuling held the Swallowing Sword in his hand, put the jade box in his arms, and said, "You are too kind. Facing a strong man like you, I must show some real skills."

Taoist Feng laughed and scolded: "You kid, you put all your thoughts on me, don't you?"

"You deserve it."

"Hmph, I didn't expect you to use the Yang God. This time, I accept it..." Old Taoist Feng didn't care about his broken arm at all. "But, don't think you have won!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Feng put his two fingers together and a green arrow shot out.

Zhang Wuling swung his sword and blocked the green light.

The next second, Feng Laodao suddenly appeared in front of him and grabbed him with one hand at an extremely fast speed.

But who is Zhang Wuling? How could he be caught like this?

It turned into Qi and dispersed in an instant, then floated to a distance and gathered into shape, and then a sword energy came from its backhand.

Taoist Feng used his Tian Gang Qi to protect himself, and at the same time said to the three demon kings: "Attack together, this guy is more difficult to deal with than the corpse of the Nanzhao King!"

The Purple-Winged Demon King was the first to flash over, grabbing lightning in his hand and heading straight for Zhang Wuling's head.

For them, attacking the corpse of the King of Nanzhao was just helping, but attacking Zhang Wuling was voluntary. They would take the initiative to attack without Feng Laodao calling them.

After all, the three of them, the Green Demon King and his companions, had suffered a lot at the hands of Zhang Wuling, and they had to get their face back no matter what.

Seeing the Purple-Winged Demon King attacking, Zhang Wuling did not dodge, but counterattacked with a palm.

Two completely different kinds of lightning exploded, causing pain in the eyes of those who saw them.

The Red Demon King, holding his flaming fist, took the opportunity to attack his back.

The powerful demon king's skin turned into golden bronze. He jumped up and grabbed directly from the front with his claws.

Taoist Feng made hand gestures and chanted a spell with one hand, and tiny dots of starlight moved around, covering the area around the hall, as if some kind of formation had been set up.

Zhang Wuling took everything in, activated thunder in his palm, and pushed the Purple-Winged Demon King out.

"Thirteen Swords of Mingduzhou——"

"Rakshasa Sea!"

As the sword was drawn, the sword energy turned into a surging dark sea, rolling towards the surroundings.

In the dark sea, hand bones stretched out and grabbed the three demon kings.

The Red Demon King was accidentally grabbed by the hand bone, and a piece of flesh was immediately cut off from his arm.

Obviously, these dark seas and hand bones were all transformed from sword energy, and they were extremely sinister and vicious.

The Purple Winged Demon King was fast and flew away, cursing loudly, "Aren't you a disciple of the Taoist sect? How can you have such a weird sword technique!"

Zhang Wuling stood in the dark sea, his sword energy transformed into surging waves, splashing across the sky. "Pah, what do you mean by evil swordsmanship? As a disciple of the Taoist sect, I naturally use the righteous swordsmanship to slay evil and exterminate ghosts!"

The Purple Winged Demon King's eyes widened. "You call this righteous swordsmanship?"

"I said yes, that's it. Stop talking and look at the sword!"

Zhang Wuling thrust out his sword, and a wave of water immediately rushed towards the Purple-Winged Demon King.

But at this moment, Taoist Feng appeared mysteriously behind Zhang Wuling and struck him in the back with one palm.

But Zhang Wuling seemed to have not yet reacted. At this critical moment, who knows what the outcome will be...
