Fellow Taoists, please respect yourself.

Chapter 343 Eight Great Magical Powers

Jiang Lin rolled into the Tushita Palace.

After realizing his own posture, Jiang Lin felt that his future was dim and dark.

This is the Taoist temple of Daozu, and if nothing unexpected happens, I will meet Daozu next.

In this case, fasting, offering sacrifices and burning incense for 49 days in advance seem not to be of sufficient importance.

And what about myself?

First, he was thrown by the old man's arm to the gate of Tushita Palace, falling on his butt, and then he was slapped by Taoist Weiyuan and turned into a spinning top.

Indeed, one cannot expect the old man and his close friend to be serious.

Jiang Lin felt a little unwell.

At the same time, he also had some guesses about the identity of Taoist Master Weiyuan. Someone who could be so casual in front of Taoist Master Daozu's temple must not only have a high status, but also have an absolutely close relationship with Taoist Master Daozu.

As a result, there are only a few people in the entire Three Realms who can match the number.

Among these people, there is only one who has not shown up for many years and is like a dragon that is hard to find.

However, now is not the time to think about this.

Jiang Lin rolled into the Tushita Palace and got up as soon as he was able to control himself.

While quickly straightening his clothes, he carefully glanced around with his peripheral vision.

Jiang Lin found that he was now in a hall. Although his immortal body was immune to cold and heat, he was actually sweating in this hall.

With every breath, the burning heat also enters the nasal cavity.

Not far in front of Jiang Lin, there stood an alchemy furnace.

This alchemy furnace is more than three meters high, with three legs and a round belly. There are countless inscriptions engraved on it. It looks ordinary, but if you look closely, even the most insignificant one of the countless inscriptions seems to contain thousands of truths.

Just by subconsciously trying to push deeper, Jiang Lin felt his Niwan Palace swelling.

This is because the principles contained in this inscription are too deep and thick, and Jiang Lin is far from being able to bear them.

Jiang Lin was almost instantly certain that this was definitely not the furnace used to refine Monkey Brother.

Otherwise, no matter how indestructible your body is, you will be turned into a pile of meaningless ashes.

No one has stipulated that there is only one Bagua furnace.

"Cough cough cough..."

At this time, from the other side of the Bagua furnace, there was a cough that made Jiang Lin a little dazed, as if he was choked by the fireworks.

Of course, this is not important. What is important is that this voice gives Jiang Lin a sense of familiarity.

Not long after, a person came out from behind the alchemy furnace.

His face was as black as a little mud monkey. He wore a short blue satin Taoist robe and his long hair was neatly tied up. The style was not very good-looking, but very practical.

"Yunxiu?"

Jiang Lin widened his eyes and looked at Liu Yunxiu, whose image was definitely not good.

"Why are you here..."

Jiang Lin was about to ask Liu Yunxiu why she was here, and it seemed that she had just crawled out from under the alchemy furnace.

But he stopped the words when they were on the tip of his tongue. He had not forgotten that when Liu Yunxiu was in the capital of Zhou Kingdom, he met the Taoist master in his dream and learned the most orthodox and profound external alchemy method.

It fully describes the wonder of the fusion of lead and pump, and explains the principle of the intersection of yin and yang.

After this transmission of the Dharma, Liu Yunxiu has become a legitimate disciple of the Taoist master, so it should not be surprising that he appears here.

"Your retreat is in Tushita Palace?"

Jiang Lin thought of something again. Bai Suzhen had told him that Liu Yunxiu was in seclusion to regain his past wisdom and completely complete the practice of overcoming the nine tribulations in his lifetime.

Now it seems that Liu Yunxiu’s retreat is just... working in the Tushita Palace?
For a moment, Jiang Lin felt envious and even jealous.

Working may sound degrading, but this is working for the Taoist.

Can this be the same?

If word gets out, countless Taoist geniuses in the Three Realms will fight to the death over this matter, and Jiang Lin is no exception.

"Ah...right..."

Liu Yunxiu didn't come back to her senses until then. She nodded stupidly, and then suddenly exclaimed, not caring about anything else, and ran out like a little rabbit.

Jiang Lin blinked.

"What a troublesome idiot."

A warm and old voice sounded, with a teasing tone.

The old Taoist with white hair and beard had a whisk on his arm and wore a Taoist robe with an ochre-red background and black eight-diagram pattern. He did not wear a crown on his head, but had his hair tied into a bun with a dry wooden hairpin.

The old Taoist stepped forward and said jokingly, "A beautiful woman has met her beloved when her face is not in good shape. You, a fool, should have pretended not to see it instead of repeatedly talking to him."

Jiang Lin blinked blankly again, and then suddenly came back to his senses.

Who else could the person in front of me be other than Daozu?
Thinking of this, he quickly straightened his clothes, stepped back, and then knelt down and bowed.

"Daoist disciple Jiang Xuanying bows to the Taoist ancestor!"

Jiang Lin did not report his master, his lineage, or his official position. In front of the Taoist ancestor, the four words "Daoist disciple" were enough.

"Get up."

Daozu nodded with a smile, raised his hand and flicked his whisk, and Jiang Lin immediately stood up from his kneeling position.

The process in the middle seems to have been "cut out".

Jiang Lin was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Daozu.

"Thirty-six Celestial Powers, returning the sky to the sun."

Daozu smiled mischievously and winked at Jiang Lin, as if he was showing off his precious child.

"what?"

Jiang Lin nodded blankly. It turned out that it was not his illusion just now. The time from kneeling to standing up was indeed cut out.

Turning the Sky Back to the Sun sounds like an offensive magical power that can move the heavens and the earth, but in fact, it is an interpretation of the way of time.

The change that Jiang Lin just experienced was only the most basic use of the power of turning the tide.

If you really look into it, the foundation of this great magical power involves the essence of time. It is definitely not as simple as fast-forwarding or cutting out a part of time.

But no matter what, Daozu, you just asked your disciple to stand up, so he stood up. Is it worth so much effort?
But think about it, maybe the great supernatural powers in your eyes are just small tricks used in daily life in the eyes of the Taoist master?

Don’t you see, the nose ring that Daozu used to tie up the cow can make all the gods in heaven lose their temper.

The palm-leaf fan that caused Monkey King to suffer a great loss was just a tool used by Daozu to stir up fire.

"How about it, do you want to learn?"

At this moment, Daozu suddenly changed his tone and looked at Jiang Lin with a smile.

"miss you!"

Jiang Lin blurted out subconsciously, and then realized the next moment, why did he say what was in his heart?
Daozu looked like an ordinary person, and there was no dignity or restraint when talking to him. But at the same time, no one could hide their thoughts in front of him.

This seems to be a kind of "Tao". The Taoist has a supreme pure heart, clear and bright, illuminating the heavens. In the face of such a state of mind, no one can hide it from the Taoist.

"You want to learn, and I want to teach you, but unfortunately, you are not suitable."

Daozu chuckled, and without paying any attention to Jiang Lin's droopy face, he flicked his whisk and motioned Jiang Lin to follow.

Jiang Lin followed Taoist master closely, walked past the Bagua furnace, and came to a small compartment behind a screen.

"sit."

Daozu sat upright on the cushion and nodded his chin at the cushion opposite him.

"Yes."

Jiang Lin didn't dare to sit opposite Daozu, so he pulled the cushion aside, knelt down, and turned his waist to face Daozu. This is the way disciples sit when serving their teachers.

"Qingjia and Wenshi, please ask me to meet you. There are some things that only I can teach you."

Daozu looked at Jiang Lin with a smile and said, "Do you know why Erlang and that monkey can reach the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal?"

Hearing this, Jiang Lin didn't have time to think too much and blurted out: "Magic power?"

The thirty-six divine powers of Tiangang are the laws of heaven and earth.

This is the reason why Yang Jian and Monkey King can crush those of the same level.

Moreover, what these two have mastered is not the complete Law of Heaven and Earth. That is the real great supernatural power, and only those with great supernatural powers can fully master it.

Just a part of the true meaning is enough to make these two people invincible in the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm.

"Yes, great magical power."

Daozu added an extra word, and then said with a smile: "Generally speaking, supernatural powers, especially great supernatural powers, are definitely not something that can be practiced by people below Taiyi Jinxian."

"But Erlang and the monkey's amazing talents broke this rule."

"And you also have such qualifications."

Daozu said this and looked at Jiang Lin. The smiling expression on his face disappeared and his pair of bright eyes looked Jiang Lin up and down.

At that moment, Jiang Lin felt that he had been seen through. He had nothing to be shy about. In front of Daozu, he did not expect to hide, and there was no need to hide.

In a sense, the Taoist Ancestor is the origin of "Tao" and the incarnation of "Tao".

As long as Jiang Lin is a disciple of Taoism and has not done anything to let down Taoism, no matter how big the secret is, the Taoist will not care.

"Erlang and the monkey were also exposed to the Law of Heaven and Earth when they were Golden Immortals. After practicing for a long time, they finally gained some true meaning in the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal."

"Do you want to learn?"

Facing Daozu's question, Jiang Lin nodded without hesitation and said, "Of course I want to learn."

This should be the reason why the old man took so much trouble to get himself here with Daozu.

A foundation that enables one to be invincible in the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and even lay the foundation for the realm of great supernatural powers in advance!
"but……"

Jiang Lin also changed the topic and said helplessly: "I guess, among these thirty-six great magical powers, it is not possible for disciples to learn whichever one they want, right?"

At least, the magic of returning the world to its former glory that the Taoist Patriarch had just performed was not something that Jiang Lin could practice.

Although I don’t know the reason, since the Taoist Ancestor said so, there must be a reason for it.

"Who told you that there are thirty-six great supernatural powers?"

Daozu did not answer, but asked a strange question in return, and then explained: "Among the so-called thirty-six magical powers of Tiangang, there are magical powers and great magical powers."

"A person with great supernatural powers can mediate the creation, reverse yin and yang, turn the sky back to the sun, follow the laws of heaven and earth, master the five thunders, the five elements of escape, the six jia qimen, and make flowers bloom in an instant."

"These eight are great supernatural powers. Although the others are among the best among the supernatural powers, they are still somewhat insufficient."

Jiang Lin nodded when he heard this, his eyes sparkling, and he asked tentatively: "Daozu, you just said that disciples cannot learn to return to heaven and return to the sun, then... follow the laws of heaven and earth..."

“You can’t learn it.”

Daozu glanced at Jiang Lin and said, "You have a small body. Although you have the method of Hou Tu to strengthen your body, you don't have the innate bones, so you can't practice this method after birth."

Jiang Lin was somewhat disappointed and continued to ask tentatively: "What about mastering the five thunders?"

Daozu said calmly: "You have the Divine Sky Method. As your realm deepens, your Thunder Method will naturally improve. There is no point in practicing more."

"Liujia Qimen?"

"A Taoist disciple who needs Jianglong to remind him to tell fortunes when he encounters something, still wants to practice this?"

Jiang Lin: “…”

"How about the flowers blooming in an instant?"

"Do you know what the phrase 'flowers bloom in an instant' means?"

Daozu asked back.

Jiang Lin was speechless for a moment. Looking at the literal meaning, "flowers bloom in an instant", doesn't it mean to let the flowers bloom for a moment?
But if this is the case, can it still be a great supernatural power?
After a few questions and answers, Jiang Lin also became discouraged and said, "Daozu, just tell me directly whether there are any disciples who can practice any of the eight great magical powers?"

"Naturally there is."

Daozu said with a smile: "Don't be discouraged. The few great supernatural powers I just mentioned are just for you to practice now, but I didn't say you can't practice them after you reach the realm of great supernatural powers."

“Only those with great magical powers can ignore certain restrictions and practice multiple great magical powers.”

“And among the great magical powers, there are more than just these eight.”

Jiang Lin understood.

To put it bluntly, cultivating great supernatural powers nowadays is purely based on talent and getting an admission ticket in advance. Only when you are truly qualified can you ignore the restrictions and practice.

But I guess you can't just build as many as you want.

The eight great supernatural powers that the Taoist Patriarch just mentioned are only the great supernatural powers of Taoism.

There is more than just Taoism in the Three Realms.

"Daozu, how many disciplines have you cultivated?"

Jiang Lin's brain suddenly jumped, and he once again asked the question he wanted to ask the most, but it was a bit offensive.

Daozu smiled slightly and did not answer. He just flicked his whisk and said, "There is a great magical power that is very suitable for you."

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Lin to ask any questions, he raised his hand.

A ray of spiritual light burst out from Daozu's finger. Looking closely, it was a sesame-sized spot of light with a long band of light behind it.

This ray of light went straight into Jiang Lin’s forehead.

Jiang Lin subconsciously closed his eyes, and then he sat still, as if at this moment, he had turned into a clay statue.

Daozu smiled slightly and said to himself: "Self-knowledge is a good thing, but it should not be excessive."

"You asked several people, why don't you dare to ask the ones at the top of the ranking?"

Before he finished speaking, footsteps were heard in the back hall.

Liu Yunxiu, who was dressed up in a new look, walked out with her bare face. She saw Jiang Lin at a glance, but also noticed Jiang Lin's strange state at the moment.

She puffed up her cheeks in disappointment.

"Girl, are you disappointed? You finally dressed up, but your sweetheart can't see it. It's just a waste for an old man."

Daozu's voice was playful and mixed with a hint of ridicule.

"Oh, teacher..."

Liu Yunxiu blushed, stamped her feet, and said angrily, "You are so annoying."

"Hahahahaha!"

Daozu laughed loudly and said, "You are such a good girl. You are so ungrateful. Now that you have a lover, you forget your master."

Liu Yunxiu's face turned even redder after being teased, but she said openly, "You also know that I like you, Taoist priest, but I haven't seen you propose to the Emperor of Fengdu."

"You don't even support me, and you don't allow me to bend my elbows?"

Daozu heard this and laughed even more happily, saying, "Don't mention it. If you mention it, Qingjia will be exposed."

As he spoke, he seemed to have thought of something and laughed even more happily.

Liu Yunxiu blinked and looked at the teacher with some confusion.

Exposed? What's the secret?

Let’s not talk about Liu Yunxiu’s doubts for now.

At this moment, Jiang Lin was immersed in an extremely strange situation.
