Under One Person: Brother Zuo, I have reached the Nascent Soul stage

Chapter 87 Epiphany
Jiang Liu's clear eyes were now confused and were even rapidly becoming dim.

He had been familiar with classics since childhood and possessed supreme talent. He could deduce the movement of the stars, transform one Qi into the Three Pure Ones, comprehend the essence of Qi, and finally find a unique path to becoming an immortal.

From condensing the five elements of yin and yang to transforming liquid into elixir, everything he did was extremely successful. It couldn't be called smooth, but it was very smooth.

But until this moment, when he saw the question of what it means to be a human being, he was confused.

What is an immortal?
There seemed to be countless echoes resonating in his mind, all shouting at him, trying to get an answer.

It can be said that Jiang Liu entered the most dangerous moment in his life.

Power may not make people lose their way, because it is ultimately in the hands of humans, but Tao can easily destroy a person.

This is a level that ordinary people will never be able to understand, because the realm and the points of concern are completely different.

Just like ordinary people are concerned about how to become an official and make money, but when it comes to Jiang Liu's level, there is only one path he yearns for: cultivation.

Family saying: "He who does not eat is immortal and divine."

Shuowen Jiezi: "Xian means immortality first, from people and mountains."

Explanation of the name: "To grow old but not die is called an immortal."

Zhuangzi's "Xiaoyaoyou" says: "On Miaoguye Mountain, there lives a supernatural being, whose skin is as white as ice and snow, and whose figure is as graceful as a virgin. He does not eat grains, but breathes the wind and drinks dew, rides on clouds and controls wind dragons, and roams beyond the four seas."

······
Throughout the ages, there has never been a lack of descriptions of immortals in the surviving classics.

"Is immortality the way to be an immortal?"

"Does the immortality of the soul make one an immortal?"

"Transforming the whole body into a fairy?"

"To see through the thread of fate at a glance, is that an immortal?"

"The dead are alive, the flesh is white, the bones are white, is this what it means to be an immortal?"

Jiang Liu opened his mouth and said quickly,
He seemed to be asking himself questions, and with each question, the light in his eyes refocused.

"Control your own destiny and protect your disciples to become an immortal!"

"He came from among humans, lived in the mountains, had infinite power, had a heart for goodness, saw through the rules of the world, and held the authority of heaven."

"It's for the immortals!"

Jiang Liu laughed and took a step into the cave.

He understood what an immortal was, or at least understood the path to immortality that he was heading towards.

It was also from this cave of what it means to be a human that he understood Zhang Ziyang’s state of mind at that time, or in other words, the realm he ultimately reached.

Are there immortals in this world?

Entering the cave, you will find the most mysterious and deepest part of the Twenty-Four Section Valley, where the treasure of True Man Zi Yang is kept.

Jiang Liu took a step forward and looked around at the symbols left on the stone wall. He seemed to sense something and slowly closed his eyes.

"I see!"

"I see!"

A smile appeared on his lips, and he began to accept the treasure left behind by the ancient cultivator.

At the same time, various insights came to my mind.

Judging from the clues and signs everywhere, Wu Gensheng seems to have never been here.

As time passed, Jiang Liu was completely immersed in it.

These twenty-four valleys seem to have the power to help people attain the Tao. The valley in front can assist in the circulation of Qi, and this cave can help people realize the Tao and obtain the information they want.

The golden elixir in the abdomen glowed brightly and was covered with circles of patterns that looked like clouds.

He did not see the realization of the eight wonders of later generations, but gradually realized the path he was on.

"Refine Qi, build foundation, golden elixir, Nascent Soul."

"My path has never been so clear in my eyes, and I can even see the flaws and defects that I missed before."

Jiang Liu suddenly realized.

He has regarded these twenty-four valleys as a place for enlightenment, to perfect his own path.

This is the secret method to heaven, which can lead to true immortality.

"Five internal organs, five qi, yin and yang."

"It can be done this way." "The Zhoutian acupuncture points reflect the positions of the Zhoutian stars."

Inspirations quickly emerged in his mind, and he entered the most clear-headed moment in his life. It was as if the heaven and earth had opened a door for him, allowing him to see the truth and the truth.

Gradually, five rays of light lit up between the five internal organs. If one listened carefully, it seemed that five gods were chanting and explaining the profound Dharma.

This is the god among the five internal organs.

The Yin God and the Yang God gathered at this moment, sitting cross-legged between the golden elixir, comprehending the philosophy of heaven and earth, and waiting for the right time to stand upright, stretch out the golden elixir, and break out of the elixir.

A wisp of purple mist appeared above Jiang Liu's head at some point in time, and fell from his Baihui acupoint, flowing through the acupoints and meridians, into his Dantian, and merged into the golden elixir, giving the round body of the elixir a hint of purple.

“What kind of path has this taken?”

Jiang Liu murmured.

But feeling the power of his body and the attributes attached to the five gods, he chuckled again.

“It’s not a bad thing.”

He cultivated the golden elixir, and the path to the Nascent Soul gradually became clear. At the same time, the treasures between the acupoints in his body seemed to be opened as well.

The five internal organs were the first gods to appear.

Although it is only the light of gods now, if you continue to practice over time, what will it be like after a hundred or a thousand years?
"The human body contains its own divine palace!"

Jiang Liu murmured.

Yes, there is an extremely clear statement recorded in the ancient books: the human body is like a small universe, with its own unique features.

The simplest words always contain the deepest truths, but are also the easiest to overlook.

He suddenly thought that people in later generations always like to complicate simple issues, but in fact, the truth lies in simplicity.

Afterwards, Jiang Liu fell into deep thought again.

If a method to reach the heavens is extremely complicated, it is impossible to find the precise anchor point of the body to refine Qi to become an immortal and return to the original nature, but instead it becomes more and more complicated, and even makes it impossible to practice.

So, is this method really good?

Then he entered into enlightenment again.

He wanted to make his Dharma as simple as possible so that ordinary people could practice it.

This kind of method is the most suitable for people.

Day after day, the sun and the moon rotated, Jiang Liu sat cross-legged in the cave, entering a deep level of understanding, and lost his perception of things in the outside world.
-
Ziyang County.

Liu Deshui's face was solemn, and he glanced back from time to time.

Among the crowd, he could clearly see that there was a group of people following him, and from their appearance, he could tell that they were all easy to get past.

"Being watched!"

Liu Deshui sighed in his heart.

When they first arrived, the master was there and these people did not dare to act rashly, but at this time, three months had passed since the master left.

These people finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"There are too many people here, so we can't start a war, otherwise innocent people will be hurt."

Liu Deshui adjusted his glasses, turned around and left quickly.

He was going to go out of the city and deal with these guys outside the city.

Half a quarter of an hour later, Liu Deshui walked out of the city gate.

Not long after he left, a group of people appeared here.

"Everyone wants to know Sanyi's unique skills, especially this kid. He doesn't have much talent, but he has mastered the means of changing the stars."

"This shows that Liu Deshui's skills are suitable for most people to learn."

"Everyone of you comes from different sects. Let's make an agreement here first. After we obtain the skills, we must share them with each other."

"it is good!"

"no problem."

After a brief exchange, the team quickly caught up.
