I use myths to create immortality

Chapter 55: The Origin of Gods and Demons, Cultivating Knowledge from Classical Books
Ji Yuan slowly rode the wind and flew back to Wuyou Rock on Tenghai Peak of Kunwu Mountain. He used his magical power to reach out and pick up the golden whip that had fallen from the cliff.

"The golden whip is useless: it's not handy after all." Ji Yuan thought about it and inserted the golden whip into the sword bag.

Even if it is not handy, this golden whip can be considered a magic weapon; if it is replaced with an ordinary weapon, it will break when hit by Lingming's meteorite stick.

Lingming is the best among the current batch of disciples of Xuanwei Sect. He can be called a genius with extraordinary martial arts skills.

With weapons, Ji Yuan could still fight him, and he thought he would not be defeated within a hundred rounds.

With bare hands, even if he possessed profound magical skills, Ji Yuan was not sure he could fight against him.

Since he mastered the mysterious skills of gods and demons and made his debut, his martial arts have been unrivaled and he has been invincible. Pei Lingming is the first person who can suppress him with martial arts.

This is not the case that the mysterious art of gods and demons is inferior to the Pei family's "Hundred Refinements Mysterious Art".

The key is that what Ji Yuan learned was not all of the "Yuan Si Nine Revolutions Profound Art".

It doesn't even account for one tenth or one percent of all the profound skills, it's just the outline of the first turn.

Before practicing, Ji Yuan didn't know what the concept of "The Mysterious Art of Gods and Demons" was.

Only after practicing did I realize how powerful Qingsi's magical powers were, and how great an opportunity I had gained.

Before practicing, looking at the green rhinoceros is like a frog in a well looking at the moon in the sky.

After practicing, seeing the green rhinoceros is like a mayfly seeing the blue sky.

The Mysterious Art of Gods and Demons, as the name suggests, is the great way for gods and demons to practice.

The ancient gods and demons were born with three thousand six hundred species, not one more, not one less; each of them was born with supernatural powers, fighting against heaven and earth, and being invincible.

In the ancient times, when the universe was just beginning, all the immortal leaders and great saints were gods and demons; but they were not the top gods and demons; nor had they yet attained immortality.

At that time, it was called the Hongmeng Era; gods and demons dominated all races in the universe, and all things in the world were like pigs, dogs, and ants, being raised by the gods and demons.

Until later, the ancient gods and demons went against the grain; relying on their innate magical powers, they either kicked the sky and dug wells, or chased the stars and took the moon, or they fought with each other, smashed the pillars of heaven with their heads, or destroyed the world with their magical water.

Gods and demons are not tolerated by all things in heaven and earth, and even by the whole world.

It happened during the great calamity of the ancient times; the immortal leaders and the great saints succeeded in attaining enlightenment one after another, and then they united to cut down, exile, seal, suppress, or wipe out the gods and demons, and finally swept the era of gods and demons into the garbage dump in the long river of time.

Even the gods and demons who controlled the great road of time were swept into the garbage dump of time.

Only then were the human race, the demon race, and all other races able to rise up and take charge.

From then on, it was forbidden to do anything related to gods and demons, or practice the methods of gods and demons; the mysterious skills of gods and demons naturally became taboos.

But Ji Yuan’s practice was not very deep, and he did not have any roots in gods or demons, so it was not a problem.

The origin of gods and demons is the true blood of gods and demons.

It is said that the blood of gods and demons can make them immortal; if a drop of blood falls to the ground and sticks to plants, the plants will instantly turn into rare treasures and peerless medicines; the true blood of gods and demons contains the power of the avenue controlled by gods and demons.

Unless one cultivates the Yuansi Nine Revolutions Profound Art to the eighth level, one can cultivate the Yuansi Dharmakaya, condense one's own true blood of gods and demons, and have the power to carry the sun and the moon on one's shoulders and the Taiyue Mountain on one's back.

Yuan Si is known as the lord of the ancient gods, demons and beasts. Along with Zhulong and Shenhuang, he is the most top-notch supreme god and demon in the Hongmeng era.

These three supreme gods and demons once brought the Age of Gods and Demons to its peak and dominated the heavens and all worlds. But with their fall, the heyday of the ancient gods and demons was turned into ashes.

As for how they fell, there is not even any record. It only records that there was a war among the three tribes at that time, which almost destroyed the world. Then there were only a few words left: "In that year, the heaven and earth collapsed, ghosts cried and gods howled, blood rained all over the sky, and gods and demons fell."

"The Pei family's Hundred Refinements Profound Art should also be derived from some kind of divine and demonic technique..." Ji Yuan speculated in his heart.

The bloody evil energy that slows down magic power should be the "energy of gods and demons" mentioned in the books.

There is also an indestructible body of Vajra.

When mountains were moved to suppress him, even huge rocks weighing thousands of pounds would only produce sparks without hurting even a hair; this is simply not something that can be achieved by ordinary martial arts or horizontal training techniques.

It is said that Pei Qiang, the ancestor of the Pei family, was one of the leader's direct disciples.

As we all know, the founder of Xuanwei Yujing was once one of the gods and demons.

It is very likely that the Hundred Refinements Profound Art was separated from the Great Dao of Gods and Demons that the founder once mastered.

"The identity of Patriarch Qingsi is not simple... No wonder he wanted to kill me to silence me because of this mysterious skill..." Many thoughts flashed through Ji Yuan's mind.

The mysterious skills of gods and demons cannot be revealed.

Especially the name of Yuansi Xuan Gong, not a single bit of it must be revealed.

Gods and demons are already taboos. Disciples of major sects are advised to practice the basics of the gods and demons, or martial arts derived from the gods and demons, to protect themselves.

Yuan Si is the supreme god and demon; the taboo among taboos. It is estimated that countless powerful people would feel fear and terrified because of this name.

From this perspective, not having learned the complete divine and demonic skills is both unfortunate and fortunate.

Unfortunately, gods and demons have been abandoned by heaven, earth and all things in the world, but the mysterious skills of gods and demons point directly to the supreme way and are quite mysterious.

With only the first level of "Yuan Si Nine Turns Profound Art", one can develop a strength of ten thousand kilograms and a physique beyond the ordinary; his skin will be like old leather, his tendons like steel springs, his blood and energy like dragons, he will be able to master dozens of martial arts without learning, and he will have the natural aggressive and murderous nature of gods and demons.

Each level has infinite mysteries.

After reaching the fourth level: if limbs are broken, they will recover instantly, the whole body cannot be hurt by swords or knives, one will not drown in water or burn in fire, and one has a strength of one million pounds.

Until the eighth level: Condensing the root of gods and demons, when bored, you can rip open your stomach, take out the intestines and internal organs one by one and wash them, or cut off your hands and feet and turn them into two or countless selves, or even bleed to remain immortal, all of which are just minor skills.

The last level: to completely prove the supreme god and devil, picking stars and grabbing the moon, kicking the sky and digging wells, swallowing clouds and breathing out mist are all small tricks; it is also to prove the immortal body and the unity of the body with the Tao; to be ground into powder, to erase all traces of existence in the world, and to be resurrected on the spot in an instant.

The supreme gods and demons are in harmony with the Great Dao; the Dao is eternal and immortal, and the gods and demons are also indestructible.

They have the same status as immortals, possess supreme supernatural powers, and an indestructible body.

The only difference is that gods and demons use their great supernatural powers to forcibly stay in the world. They have shape and substance, and can suppress all things, but their lifespan is limited, either hundreds of thousands or millions of years. They are false longevity, not true immortality.

Therefore, to deal with gods and demons, one usually banishes or seals them, or endures them until their lifespans are over and they naturally fall. The Taoist scriptures record that from ancient times to the present, even before the end of the previous catastrophe, no one, no gods and demons, no things, including the heaven and earth itself, will live longer than immortals.

Fortunately, Ji Yuan is a human, a born creature after all, and he also joined an immortal sect, learning the immortal method of immortality.

Immortals, gods and demons are mortal enemies.

Without learning all the profound skills of gods and demons and without possessing the roots of gods and demons, the Taoist Master Dao Miao and the immortal ancestors would not care about you.

After all, Pei Lingming was obviously practicing the Mysterious Art of Gods and Demons, or a technique derived from the Mysterious Art of Gods and Demons.

Thinking of Pei Lingming, Ji Yuan couldn't help but smile: "This guy is really honest..."

I want to say that he is stupid, but think about it, after all, he is a true disciple of a great sect and a leader among the hundreds of thousands of inner sect disciples.

How could Ji Yuan's magical power suppress him for five hundred years?

Once [Moving Mountains and Filling the Sea] is used, it will either crush him to death directly, or turn into a stone box to suppress him.

But as long as Ji Yuan walked away, the mountain would lose its magical power in a few hours at most.

Even if Lingming couldn't move it by himself, as long as he met a passing monk, he could call on dozens or hundreds of people, and cast spells together to open a gap, or use magic tools to chisel open a gap, and then he could get out.

Originally, I just wanted to suppress him for a few hours, scare him a little, and get rid of this troublesome guy.

Ji Yuan didn't expect this guy to be so easy to deceive.

I don't know if he is really afraid of the magical powers of the 'Green Robe Old Ancestor'.

Or it is the power of the sect's ancestor Dao Miao that is so effective and intimidating.

Anyway, Ji Yuan flew back to Kunwu Mountain slowly, and half a month had passed, but Lingming hadn't come back yet.

I think it is still in the stone box in the wild mountains, "reflecting on itself".

For Ji Yuan, this is a good thing.

In his previous life, he read novels and saw many clichés of beating the younger to get the older.

Pei Lingming has a high status and a strong background, so the Pei family must have high hopes for him.

He wanted to kill Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan didn't kill him.

The main thing is to consider Ancestor Pei; he can punish Pei Lingming under the identity of the Green-clothed Ancestor.

But killing Pei Lingming might alert the ancestor of the Pei family, which is too risky.

Also, I don't want to attract flies.

Ji Yuan was already annoyed enough that he had offended the Zhao family, who would collude with masters from all over the country to kill him.

If the Pei family comes again, Ji Yuan will no longer have to stay in Xuanwei Sect.

If we kill the Pei family member, maybe the Huo family member will come after a few days.

The power of these clans is all in collusion with each other. Relying on the great contributions of their ancestors to the clan, they act recklessly.

If you want to cut it, you have to find the right time, pull it out by the roots and eradicate it completely.

Instead of provoking one here and killing one there, if waves of them come, no matter how lucky Ji Yuan is or how powerful his magical powers are, he will eventually be killed.

The gate of immortals; the monks have long lifespans, and the more powerful they are, the more descendants they may have, the greater their influence, and the more complicated their connections.

That is to say, Ji Yuan has no bloodline, otherwise if he had cultivated the true teachings, or mastered the mysteries of Taoism, he might have formed the immortal learning family 'Qingtang Ji Family'.

Ji Yuan sat in the thatched cottage, absorbing the knowledge from the books he had exchanged before.

What he needs most at the moment may not be magic or supernatural powers, but various rare knowledge.

If you really want to exchange these secret books and illustrations from the sect's scripture library, they may not be cheaper than magic spells.

In the outside world, these are all secret knowledge among practitioners and families. They are experiences accumulated through countless blood and tears from generation to generation and are extremely precious.

Only the supreme teaching will allow disciples the opportunity to accumulate merits and exchange them for these.

Knowing more can often save your life when you encounter strange things.

Many skilled monks, after taking unknown elixirs, were poisoned and went astray, becoming half paralyzed and petrified. From then on, they could only stay in seclusion and travel as their spirit incarnations.

Some people mistakenly took the colorful thousand-year-old poisonous barrier in the depths of the wilderness as the innate Taoist Qi, and swallowed and refined it with great joy, but were eventually corroded by the poisonous barrier and turned into blood.

Some people treat stones as dusty spiritual treasures, and practice with them every day, but they cannot refine even a little bit after hundreds of years, and they still think that their method is wrong.

In the spiritual world, there are many strange things like this.

When Ji Yuan was crossing Kanyuanze, he accidentally took poison and fell asleep in the aisle. He was lucky as he was only paralyzed for half a month.

Before this, Ji Yuan thought that spiritual medicine was the essence of all things in heaven and earth, and that any grass with spiritual energy could be swallowed to increase power.

In the secret realm, there are many rare wonders, medicines, and things that are rarely seen in this world.

Before going to the secret realm, you should finish reading these books first and improve your knowledge so that you can better search for treasures.

.........

Ji Yuan was studying late into the night to catch up on his knowledge.

Tens of thousands of miles away at Mount Qihuang, Pei Lingming, trapped in a stone box by the hill, was still in the process of self-reflection with a pious look on his face.
