Chapter 488: 436: The Huge Gains from Exchange, Attempt to Condense the Golden Core.

In a room within the Taoist Temple, this was where Pei Xuanjing had secluded himself for cultivation.

Throughout this period, the philosophical debates he had with these individuals yielded fruitful outcomes. Especially when Pei Xuanjing was willing to share his cultivation technique, the “Shenxiao Heaven’s Will Skill,” with them, although these people were unable to share the core of their respective power inheritances, they shared their knowledge willingly.

Everyone’s perception of cultivation differed. Their divergent perceptions and cultivation methods collided and sparked wisdom during this period, resulting in mutual benefits.

Xue Wuheng, for instance, originated from the Demonic Cult. His Dao involved seizing the essence of Heaven and Earth to nourish his own body, a doctrine of plunder.

Zhao Baiyang’s practice strove for the contrast of brightness and darkness, the continuous struggle of good and evil, truth and falsehood. He rooted his essence in the idea of the rotation of green sun, red sun, and white sun, with his name, ‘Baiyang’, bearing this significance.

Meanwhile, Daoist Qingxu, the successor of the True Martial Sect, naturally bases his practice on the Tai Chi doctrine of Yin and Yang synergism, as taught by Ancestor Sanfeng. However, Qingxu’s Yin-Yang method is completely different from Sanfeng’s Tai Chi doctrine. Sanfeng promotes the mutual help of Yin and Yang, while Qingxu only uses Yang to control Yin, and Yin to restrict Yang.

The oldest of the bunch, the old Celestial Master, has arguably traveled the farthest and steadiest path, excluding Pei Xuanjing.

Following the doctrine of Zhengyi of the Dragon Tiger Mountain, one aligns with the Gods, makes use of their power, vanquishes demons, and commands Ghost Gods.

Now that the Divine Dynasty is about to be established, if the old Celestial Master can actually bestow Gods, his gains will far exceed others’.

Although Daoist Xuanming broke through to the Spirit Realm the latest and is the weakest among them, his understanding of the harmonious concept of Heaven and Earth as taught by the Baiyun Temple’s Complete Truth Daoist Law was extremely enlightening.

When Pei Xuanjing finally demonstrated his Shenxiao Heaven’s Will Skill and projected his Daoist Foundation, symbolizing the Great Dao of Four Seasons and Five Orders on display, and the Creation and Destruction of Thunder, it induced awe in these men.

Even though they already had a deep prediction of Pei Xuanjing’s strength, the power he demonstrated was still far beyond their expectation.

The projection of the Daoist foundation, the Magical Domain, talisman skills…

Pei Xuanjing’s pointers undoubtedly gave them considerable gains, showing them the way ahead.

With the mention of ‘Three Daos: Essence, Qi, Spirit,’ they were shocked by the interpretation and speculation of the Taoist School’s Golden Core Dao idea. No one expected that Pei Xuanjing had deduced the path of the Golden Core based on bits and pieces of clues.

Regarding all this, each of them also presented their own comprehension and viewpoints.

The essence, the Qi, and the Spirit are almost inseparable in the path of practice. Although these strong individuals mostly tread the Path of Qi Refinement, due to Pei Xuanjing’s influence, they also conducted some research on the path of Refining Essence and Refining Spirit.

Under the influence of the old Celestial Master’s proficiency in Body Refining, and the numerous spiritual secret techniques in the Demonic Cult’s inheritance, the reclusive Master Xue truly demonstrated his deep understanding of the Path of Spirit Refining.

Engaging in reciprocal exchanges and verifying what they’ve learned provided Pei Xuanjing with a wealth of experience.

At this point, Pei Xuanjing felt almost like a never-satiated sponge, recklessly absorbing these nutrients and converting them into his own sustenance, laying a foundation for his cultivation.

“Learning from the old to understand the new”, this phrase certainly holds true.

In his debates with these individuals, he reiterates some of his conjectures and understanding of cultivation and gains further insights. This gives him a clearer understanding of his own path of cultivation.

And that’s not all. This round of debate about their respective Dao of cultivation allowed Pei Xuanjing to gain quite a few Taoyun points. After a month of such discussion, he had accumulated nearly a million points of Taoyun, almost matching the amount provided by the Door Incense Refining God Skill.

Regrettably, he wasn’t sure if he’d encounter such a rewarding debate again. Moreover, after this debate, if these people did not gain new insights, he wouldn’t be able to gain more Taoyun.

However, Pei Xuanjing wasn’t the perpetually dissatisfied sort. He was already contented with the Taoyun he had received from this occasion.

Pei Xuanjing was seated on a meditation cushion. The Heaven and Earth Essence Qi slowly gathered around him and began to circulate. The entire room was filled with the rich aura of the Essence Qi.

He flicked his sleeve, and countless jade talismans flew out, landing on the ground and forming the skeleton of a human.

The next moment, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of essence blood onto the jade talismans, which began to glow brightly. Pei Xuanjing suddenly released his momentum and started the jade talismans with the technique of two hands.

The jade talismans turned into a black hole in an instant, absorbing the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi. The Essence Qi then solidified, finally taking on the form of a being identical to Pei Xuanjing.

Flesh and blood formed, an external incarnation; Pei Xuanjing deployed this magical ability once again.

To create a powerful incarnation, one not only needs to dissolve these traditional jade talismans and essence blood but also needs the flesh and blood of the true body as a framework.

However, this incarnation does not need to be a genuine incarnation formed by Pei Xuanjing himself; it’s just for experimental purposes.

The next moment, Pei Xuanjing closed his eyes, focusing his main attention on his incarnation.

His incarnation opened its eyes and sat on the ground. It continued to absorb the spiritual energy between Heaven and Earth.

At this moment, Pei Xuanjing circulated his skills, harmonizing the essence, Qi, and spirit within this body. By combining them in the Dantian, he attempted to form the Golden Core.

As Pei Xuanjing continuously circulated his skills, an intangible Essence-Qi-Spirit inner alchemy was formed inside him. The inner alchemy continued to be hammered and polished, rotating and emitting an everlasting aura…

Boom!

Suddenly, the fast-spinning inner alchemy exploded. A massive force erupted from his Dantian, reducing his entire incarnation to a cloud of blood mist.

Apparently, Pei Xuanjing’s experiment had failed once more!

“Too bad!” Pei Xuanjing’s true body opened its eyes and sighed lightly.

But for this failure, he was not much surprised. After all, this was no longer his first failure.

During this time, he has already attempted six times with his incarnation. This was his seventh time failing, although it lasted longer than the previous six attempts.

“After this attempt, I have gained more experience in condensing the Golden Core. If I can elevate the Yin Spirit Realm to the third level of Spirit Realm, I should have a good chance of successfully forming a Golden Core using the incarnation.” Pei Xuanjing thought.
