Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 768: The combination of Yin and Yang, the mysteries of the heavenly gate
Of the two methods of breaking through the barrier, the "calming the mind" method can mobilize 60% to 70% of the body's strength to break through the cage, which is already very good, while the "divine self as one" method can reach more than 90%.

So this is where the danger lies, because this method leaves no room for maneuver and simply pushes people upward, and if they fail, they will not be able to return.

Even with Chen Chuan's current foundation, when his life energy continued to turn into firewood to drive his spirit to grow stronger, he also lost some weight, and his originally fair skin became dull.

What we gain in return is a spirit as solid as substance.

When this spirit was guided by the will and stretched upwards according to the method, it immediately felt the invasion from all sides. Countless strange shadows that seemed real and illusory came one after another, bewitching and tempting, trying to hinder the ascent of the spirit. There seemed to be many beings above it, watching and coveting, as if waiting for him to fall into a trap.

Even if he was in his own world, this situation was inevitable. But in this other world, he would undoubtedly suffer even more, and now he had almost no second self to protect him, so he had to bear all of this by himself.

These infections are actually external evils that attack him, but they are also the nourishment for his progress. Every erosion is a test, and will make his spirit undergo a change. As long as his vitality is not completely consumed in the process, he will inevitably undergo the final transformation in the end.

And he was not completely without protection now. On the one hand, he was shielded by the rosy glow, and on the other hand, there was the shell-like object that kept emerging to provide support. This allowed him to quickly replenish the energy he consumed and maintain his upward momentum.

At this moment, you need to push forward with all your strength to break through that layer of obstacles. If you cannot do this or your foundation is not strong enough, you need to give up or embrace a certain trait to propel your spirit to continue moving forward.

But he didn't need to do that.

Originally, after all the training and replenishment, he was already strong enough to enter the top 30 or even top 10 in the world. Such a person already had a certain possibility of entering that level in a way that he would never give up. Now he has doubled his strength, and his original strength alone is enough to break through that barrier.

At this moment, his spirit was gradually moving there. He did not feel any sense of exhaustion halfway through. His upward momentum continued unabated and he reached the top in an instant. The next moment, that unparalleled spiritual power suddenly broke through that layer of obstacle!
His spirit was shaken suddenly, and at that moment, all the things that were originally surrounding and lurking around him seemed to be left behind and disappeared at once, and he seemed to have entered a brand new world. His spirit and the surroundings merged into one, almost as if he were one with it, as if he had cast off all the burdens on his body, and felt completely relaxed, comfortable, and at ease.

But now I still have my old body behind me, and I need to return to my spirit and take this body with me to transcend. However, at this point, I suddenly have a thought in my mind to leave it behind and enjoy great freedom.

This is the instinctive impulse after the spirit has completed its transformation into the spirit, and no longer wants to be burdened and wants to get rid of the original self. This is the "heart evil" mentioned in the Dharma.

People have many thoughts and their hearts change in thousands of ways, and no matter how they change, the first thing is to exist for oneself. Now that the spirit has transformed first and has become the "external self", it is natural that there will be selfish intentions for oneself, which is inevitable.

But the spirit comes from the body. If it abandons the place where it is attached, it may survive for a while, but it will eventually lose its roots. Not to mention that it will be completely unsustainable, but if it is infected by external factors later and is constantly attacked, it will be useless and will inevitably disintegrate in the end.

Perhaps you can choose to cling to some existence, but you can abandon yourself and follow others. This is a very bad strategy, and in the end you will not be able to gain food for yourself, and you will no longer have your original wisdom.

If you understand this intention and know the benefits and disadvantages, your spirit will return. Therefore, in the key points, this is called "dispelling anger and tempering the old body, guarding the inside and refining the outside, the second level"!
He did not let his spirit act recklessly. He understood the pros and cons in his mind and immediately drove away the urge to leave. He easily brought it back and let it sink into his body.

This is the last step, called "promoting the primordial mechanism to achieve the true transformation, and watering the nature and life to the third level." After completing this step, when the yin and yang change and the light is generated from the heart, it will illuminate the inside and outside, and the spirit and I will become one.

At this moment, as the spirit was feeding back into his body, he felt a shock on his body, and a white gas seemed to break out of his body and gather above like a cloud covering the roof, and then wisps of light like rain and dew fell down.

The alienated tissues all cheered for a moment, greedily absorbing the nutrients brought by the spirit, and using what they gained to help the body complete the final transformation.

After just a while, his originally slightly thin body had become full again, but now the skin on the surface of his body began to crack, and small pieces of it fell off and floated away into countless tiny fragments.

After these things dissipated, what was revealed was new skin as smooth as jade, and there seemed to be a layer of fluorescence attached to it.

His hair had also grown a little longer, looking as if dyed in ink and shining brightly. He was still the same person, but he looked like he was reborn.

After the clouds above slowly fell away and everything merged into his body, Chen Chuan opened his eyes. A bright light suddenly appeared in his eyes, and all around him, there was a faint flash of light.

With these three levels passed, at this moment, he has already stepped into the ranks of fighters. The "Taibai Realm" says: "Collect the yin and yang and combine the spirit and energy, and once you enter the gate of heaven, you will find the mystery." Therefore, this realm is named "Zai Xuan Ji"!
He looked at the light in his hand. In the past, he had to use his spirit to borrow the power of the other world for his own use. But after becoming a fighter, his spirit and body had undergone a transformation, and their essences were different, so this became his spontaneous power.

How much spiritual power can be used depends not only on a fighter's original foundation, but also on his specific practice after he achieves success. Even if no one tells him, he knows that the amount and strength of these powers will directly affect the combat effectiveness of a fighter.

The spiritual power possessed by each fighter is actually different. When it was borrowed from the opposite side before, it was of course the same, with no essential difference. But now because it is drawn out from one's own body, it has its own profound imprint, just like the mental strength, each is different. Even after reaching this level, this power and mental strength are actually indistinguishable from each other.

So, my strength is...

While he was thinking, there was a loud bang. He looked up and saw that the cracks in front of him were getting bigger and bigger. Some big ones were already as wide as a finger.

Obviously, in just a short while, the person on the opposite side was about to break through the barrier.

Chen Chuan looked at that place, and slowly stood up from his original position, looking forward with deep and calm eyes. As the vibration became stronger and stronger, there was a crackling sound. Seeing that several cracks could no longer hold on, they broke apart with a crack, leaving a gap like broken teeth.

Through this gap, you can see the huge body of General Xuanjia on the opposite side.

General Xuanjia's eyes hidden behind his visor seemed to have seen Chen Chuan standing in the light opposite. At first he seemed to be motionless, but the next moment, with a bang, a palm suddenly squeezed open the still narrow crack and grabbed towards where Chen Chuan was standing.

However, the palm was only halfway extended when it suddenly stopped there. Just opposite, one could see a fist pressing against the palm, blocking it.

General Xuanjia's eyes seemed a little surprised under his mask, but then they became ferocious again. He immediately grasped with his five fingers, as if he wanted to crush this fist and the arm behind it together.

But when he pinched it, General Xuanjia's body shook, the black energy on his body swayed, and then he stepped back step by step, slowly leaving the crack. Then he saw a fist wrapped in golden liquid extending out from the crack, pressing against his palm.

One could see strands of golden light spinning and flashing, extending from the fist to the arm behind, and then flowing to the tall body behind. Finally, as if something was ignited, there was a loud bang, and a ball of golden light as thick as liquid rose up.

This tall and straight figure now pushed the huge hand forward. As it took a step, the ground began to crack and collapse, and the air vibrated. The golden liquid that was flowing down now seeped into the cracks in the ground, and then turned into thick white mist that rose up in wisps.

At this moment, the barrier that separated one or two worlds collapsed like a thin wall under the impact of such a force, and a bright and dazzling light rushed out. Along with it, the light of the lost objects that disappeared for a moment and then reappeared came. As soon as it reached the outside, it rushed up to the sky again.

The three fighters on the opposite side, Yao Zhiyi, Xiao Wan, and Zhao Zhenye, also noticed the movement here. They turned their heads to look and saw that in the dazzling light and the dyed colors, there was a tall figure with golden liquid flowing all over his body like molten magma and steaming white mist, walking out from the opposite side with Wei Guochan's palm.

The three of them looked at the thick white mist rising up, and the golden light forming a large ball of light behind him, their eyes froze, is this... another fighter? !

Chen Chuan came outside and gave a light punch. The black flame and golden stream burst out at the same time. General Xuanjia retreated more than ten steps, and with a bang, he half-knelt on the ground and finally stopped. The black smoke on his body seemed to shake rapidly a few times.

General Xuanjia paused for a moment, raised his head suddenly, and rushed forward. His huge body shook the ground. Before he got close, the two fields had already collided. Countless cracks appeared at the intersection of the light outside his body, as if lightning was spreading inside, but the black flame light could not hold on first and suddenly shattered.

The next moment, with a loud bang, General Xuanjia's huge body was smashed away, and bounced several times on the ground in the distance like a cannonball, and finally created a big hole.

Chen Chuan kept punching forward, looking at the black-armored general who was half buried in the dust and dirt, and said, "Your strength is too weak."
