I have a Taoist temple that connects me to other worlds

"How could a figure like Grandmaster Changmingzi debate Dao with a junior like you?" Li Yunshang looked at Jiang Wen, her eyes full of disbelief. He looked so young, and there wasn't a hint of a master's demeanor about him. There were many geniuses in the Sumeru Realm, each stronger than this person. She had never heard of anyone who could debate Dao with Grandmaster Changmingzi.

Seeing the girl's expression of disbelief, Jiang Wen naturally understood what she was thinking. He wasn't in a hurry. After finishing his meal, he made her a cup of tea and slowly said, "Daoist Changmingzi's cultivation is naturally unfathomable, but my Jingxu Temple has a secret method of heart refinement, which is different from ordinary people. Changmingzi was greatly surprised to see that my temple had such a secret method, so he was willing to debate Dao with me."

"A secret method? What secret method could surprise even my grandmaster?" Li Yunshang looked puzzled after hearing this. She didn't expect that this small Taoist temple would have a secret method that could surprise her grandmaster.

Involuntarily, she became a little more curious.

Jiang Wen noticed the girl's expression and knew that she had taken the bait. From the beginning, he had been observing her personality. He even possessed the statue to investigate, and finally concluded that this girl was very simple and should be the type that could be easily deceived.

As expected, the little girl was attracted by the secret method in his words.

"This..." Jiang Wen glanced at Li Yunshang, took a sip of tea, and said slowly, "Although this secret method is the unique skill of my Jingxu Temple, the patriarch once said that all kinds of Dao methods can converge. It's not impossible to tell you, but it can't be so casual."

Jiang Wen deliberately dragged out his voice as he spoke. When Li Yunshang heard this, a look of understanding appeared on her face. She reached into her storage bag and took out some things, placing them in front of Jiang Wen.

"Sword Heart?"

"This is the Autumn Water Sword Technique! It is a secret sword technique of the Taishen Palace. Cultivating this sword technique to great success can overturn rivers and seas, split mountains and open land."

…

"I see." Jiang Wen nodded thoughtfully. He used his magic power to gather in his eyes and looked at Li Yunshang. He saw that this person was emitting a faint white light, and at her chest, a sharp sword shadow blew like a cold wind.

As Li Yunshang spoke, her gaze turned to Jiang Wen. She carefully examined Jiang Wen's face, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"You actually don't have any spiritual roots or Dao bones either?!"

As she spoke, he pointed his finger at Li Yunshang. Seeing this, Li Yunshang couldn't help but be shocked and hugged her chest unhappily, "This young lady doesn't do deals. You Taoist priest should give up!"

"This is two high-grade spirit stones. Either one is enough to buy a small sect in the cultivation world. I obtained these two with great difficulty. Can I exchange them?"

"I want to know if there are different realms in the cultivation world? If so, how should we view them?"

"No, no, no, I'm not talking about you. I just want to inquire about some news from the cultivation world. This matter doesn't involve privacy, it's all common sense. As long as you can explain it in detail, I will offer the temple's secret method with both hands." Jiang Wen smiled slightly and revealed his ultimate goal.

It should be no problem to scare this girl in front of him.

"Just this?" Li Yunshang opened her eyes wide in confusion.

"This is the Tai Xuan Mirror, a spiritual treasure-level magic weapon. It can survey roads, break illusions, subdue demons, and vanquish devils. Even the most cunning monsters must reveal their true forms in front of this mirror."

Seeing this situation, Jiang Wen didn't stand on ceremony and asked all his doubts about the cultivation world.

Seeing this, Li Yunshang frowned slightly. She bit her lip and pointed to other items.

"Be gentle, this table is very expensive," Jiang Wen said with some heartache. "What happens after igniting the Flame of Life?"

"So-called spiritual roots and Dao bones determine whether a person has the potential for cultivation. If you have spiritual roots and Dao bones, using magic power to gather in your eyes to check will reveal spiritual energy floating on your face. This means you are suitable for cultivation. People with spiritual roots and Dao bones usually walk the path of cultivation several times faster than ordinary people."

Hearing this, Jiang Wen then happily said, "Miss, you have many treasures. I'm also envious. However, the patriarch once warned us to be content with what we have, and I won't randomly take your things."

Although Li Yunshang's treasures were very tempting, for Jiang Wen, the most important thing right now was to clarify some things. He had already prepared the so-called secret method, which was the classic Taoist chapter, the Qingjing Sutra (Scripture of Purity and Tranquility).

Jiang Wen only felt dryness and coldness in his eyes, and he quickly withdrew his magic power. The girl propped her chin with one hand and looked at him with a raised corner of her mouth, "How is it? Did you see my Sword Heart being stabbed?"

Li Yunshang said a lot of things in one breath, but Jiang Wen just smiled and said nothing. Finally, she glared at this person angrily and said resentfully, "Why don't you say a word? What do you want me to exchange with you?"

"Spiritual roots and Dao bones? I don't know if I have them." Jiang Wen shrugged, because he himself didn't quite understand these things.

"Of course. You should know that the mortal world is different from the cultivation world. Those who temper their martial bodies and cultivate true Qi in their dantian can all be considered Acquired. Transforming Acquired Qi into Innate Qi, and using Innate Qi to temper the body, is Innate. If you can perfect Innate, introduce spiritual Qi into the body. You can light up the Sea of Life and gather spiritual Qi within it. This realm is the Lamp Lighting Realm. Lighting up the Lamp of Life in the Sea of Qi and making it burn fiercely, and finally filling the Sea of Life, this realm is the Flame of Life Realm. Those who can reach this realm are mostly peerless geniuses that are rare in a thousand years. Ordinary people have difficulty passing the Innate Realm in their entire lives. To enter cultivation, it's not just about your mind, but also your spiritual roots and Dao bones."

"Yes, I'm a genius. I was born with Sword Bones and gathered a Sword Heart five years ago. If those old men hadn't said it was too early to step into the Flame of Life, I would have ignited the Flame of Life long ago." As she spoke, Li Yunshang knocked on the table dissatisfiedly. The thick wooden table had several holes poked in it, which was a bit scary.

"Then tell me, I will definitely tell you everything I know." Li Yunshang patted her chest confidently and sat upright opposite Jiang Wen.

"After that? Lighting the Flame of Life means burning the Sea of Life. Then, rebuild the Dao Palace in the Sea of Life. This is the Dao Palace Realm. Reaching this realm allows you to be ageless for thousands of years and live for ten thousand years. Your magic power and cultivation can be counted in thousands of years. It can be said that you are connected to the heavens and the earth. Grandmaster Changmingzi is a Dao Palace Realm cultivator. Even the current emperor must give him three points of courtesy."

"If you can build the Dao Palace and cultivate the Immortal Platform, you can control the six Qi and not eat human grains. You can roam the world freely, and go anywhere. People usually call such masters great sages or saints. In today's world, there are less than five living saints."

"Except for the saint who sits in the Taishen Palace, the others have entered the Sumeru Realm."
