Chapter 4: It's impossible to prevent




"The term 'lady' refers to the innate essence formed by the primordial qi. Cultivating qi means cultivating oneself, purifying the body, reversing the innate qi, and achieving the perfect result of the primordial qi that perfects both the body and spirit..." After a long pause, Lu Yang opened his eyes, his face beaming with joy.

Compared to "Yin-Yang Da Le Fu", "Xian Tian Dao Shu" truly bears a semblance of a complete and authentic legacy.

The entire Taoist text begins with ordinary mortals, introducing them to a set of innate skills for strengthening the body, and even includes a complementary martial art called the Inborn Great Seizing Technique.

After achieving great physical perfection, practitioners must begin to "reverse their innate constitution". They first transform their internal organs, then their skin, muscles, and bones, until finally completely dissolving their physical form and refining their body into a stream of innate true qi. From then on, their body is impervious to change and difficult to harm by Taoist magic. When fighting with others, they are in an invincible position due to their innate constitution.

In addition, the Taoist scriptures also record many spells that can be combined with innate true qi.

Spells such as the Heavenly Net Dust Smoke, the Unwavering True Qi Sword, and the Spirit Breath Qi Absorption Technique... The complete range of spell types and diverse functions left Lv Yang feeling greatly enlightened.

However, at that moment, Lu Yang, who had been mesmerized by the book, suddenly froze: "… Why is it gone?" Lu Yang subconsciously raised his head to look at Liu Xin and realized that the "Innate Dao Book" in his hand was only the first half, and the content abruptly ended.

"Junior Brother, teachings are not imparted lightly," Liu Xin chuckled. "The second half of the 'Innate Dao Scripture' concerns the secrets of foundation building, which are not included in the sect's benefits and must be exchanged with contribution points." Hearing this, Lv Yang shook his head helplessly. "So that's how it is. It was my mistake." "It's fine. Half of the scripture is enough for you to cultivate," Liu Xin patted Lv Yang's shoulder kindly. "Come, I'll take you to the Mending Heaven Peak to choose a cave abode. Pick a good place, and you can visit more often in the future." Lv Yang nodded. "Thank you, Senior Brother." An hour later, Mending Heaven Peak.

In a remote cave abode at the foot of the mountain, Lv Yang officially settled down. The original furniture and utensils inside the cave abode were swept out as garbage.

Watching this scene, Lv Yang's mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts.

"It seems like it's not easy to get by as a formal disciple..." The Heaven-mending Peak isn't very big. Every year, the First Sage Sect has so many registered disciples that even if the promotion chance is only one in ten thousand, it's enough to fill the entire Heaven-mending Peak.

But what about in reality?

As Lv Yang walked along, the Heaven-mending Peak was not only overcrowded, but even somewhat empty, with many cave abodes lying idle and unoccupied by disciples.

Where have all those official disciples gone? They can't possibly not be able to afford to rent a cave abode, right?

Lv Yang shook his head and didn't delve into it further. Instead, he took out a straw mat and sat down, then faced his five hearts towards the sky, and began his first practice session within the cave abode.

This was fine when he wasn't practicing, but as soon as he started, Lu Yang suddenly felt that nearly twice as much heavenly and earthly spiritual energy surged towards him from the outer world, flooding into his dantian. Then, it circulated through his meridians and flowed throughout his body, eventually penetrating from the outside to the inside, gradually integrating into his internal organs, skin, muscles, bones, and sinews.

The efficiency was so high that even Lv Yang was astonished.

With the same time and the same cultivation technique, the true qi he could cultivate in a day outside the inner gate could only be cultivated in two hours inside the inner gate's cave abode.

"No wonder renting an inner cave abode requires money. It's easy to transition from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go back to frugality. Once you've experienced the speed of cultivation in a cave abode, it becomes hard to tolerate cultivating anywhere else.".

The next day, Lv Yang didn't go out. Instead, he stayed in his cave abode, cultivating while flipping through the Book of Inborn Dao.

"Although cultivation in this world also depends on talent, there is no such thing as a spiritual root. Basically, as long as one has the will, anyone can embark on the path of cultivation." That being said, cultivation is not much easier.

Although ordinary people can practice Taoism without the limitation of a spiritual root, the level of true qi they cultivate can still determine the ultimate achievements of cultivators in the future.

This is the function of "law".

The higher the level of the cultivation technique, the higher the grade of the refined true qi, and the greater the likelihood of reaching a higher realm in the future. Conversely, the lower the level of the cultivation technique, the greater the likelihood of encountering bottlenecks.

True Qi has nine grades and thirty-six levels. The lower the grade, the superior the quality, and the higher the level, the more powerful it is.

Generally speaking, those with true qi below the seventh level are unable to establish a foundation, and those below the third level find it difficult to form a golden core. For those who are not at the first level, attempting to condense a primordial infant is a death sentence.

"It's really hard for a lone cultivator to survive," Lu Yang couldn't help but sigh. Compared to large sects with complete traditions, lone cultivators have no choice but to practice whatever they can find.

In such a situation, even those with exceptional talent and comprehension will lose at the starting line, leaving them with a lifelong sense of regret.

The difficulty of cultivating immortality is evident.

Thinking of this, Lv Yang gradually furrowed his brows.

"The 'Innate True Qi' refined from the 'Innate Dao Scripture' ranks first in the sixth level, and practitioners have the potential to build a foundation. Strictly speaking, it's already considered strong." However, it still didn't meet his expectations.

If he were just an ordinary cultivator, it would be fine.

However, now that he possesses such a rare treasure as the 'Hundred Worlds Scripture', his future is promising. A cultivation method that only stops at the Foundation Establishment stage can no longer satisfy his aspirations.

"If only I could have that supreme true inheritance of the first rank..." Lu Yang fantasized for a moment, then sighed and said, "Forget it. I still have to take one step at a time. If I take too big a step, it's easy to get pulled up by the strings." "Let's first cultivate the innate Tao book and become a foundation-building cultivator..." Once the foundation is built, one can live for three hundred years, which is almost equivalent to a dynasty for ordinary people. In the world of cultivation, it can also be called a "great cultivator".

Once I have the strength, I will seek a higher inheritance and immediately reopen it once I have it.

With such a cycle repeating, there will always come a day when dreams come true.

As long as he is patient and doesn't rush into things, time will always be on his side as a good friend. This is the confidence that "Hundred Worlds of Books" has brought to Lv Yang.

Ten days later, Lv Yang's cave abode.

A white vapor billowed and swirled, suddenly transforming into billowing black smoke, then into an invisible qi sword, and finally into a graceful figure resembling an immortal.

"I've succeeded!" Although the innate Dao scripture was mysterious, it was not difficult to practice. In just ten days, Lu Yang had successfully transformed his body, refining it into a stream of true qi.

[Name: Lv Yang] [Lifespan: 18] [Cultivation: First Level Qi Refinement] [Talent: Dual Cultivation Prodigy (White)] [Cultivation Technique: Yin-Yang Great Joy Ode (Perfected), Inborn Qi Refinement Transformation Technique (Perfected)] [Divine Ability: None] [Treasure: None] [Number of Pages in the Hundred Generations Book: 99] Looking at the updated information in the Hundred Generations Book, Lv Yang stepped on the void and felt his condition reach its peak, even his original ailment, a flower willow disease, healed without medication.

"Hmm...?" Suddenly, the complacent Lv Yang furrowed his brow, abruptly stopped what he was doing, and then looked at the [Hundred Worlds Book] again, falling into a baffling meditation.

".... That's not right." It seems like there's something I overlooked.

Lv Yang subconsciously recalled that he had not encountered any difficulties in this life, successfully becoming a formal disciple and smoothly inheriting the innate Tao book. In the next second, Lv Yang finally realized what he had overlooked.

"After absorbing your essence, Yu Suzhen broke through to the Qi Refinement realm. However, due to the deep-rooted nature of the flower and willow essence, it was difficult to eliminate the true qi. She lay in bed for several months and eventually died from a severe illness." In her previous life, why did Senior Sister Yu die?

Since she is a formal disciple, she must have inherited the innate Taoist scripture. As long as she successfully cultivates it and transforms her body into qi, how could she possibly die from venereal disease?

She didn't succeed in practicing?

"Impossible!" Lv Yang shook his head.

The innate Dao scripture is not difficult to cultivate. Since Yu Suzhen has the ability to break through to the Qi Refinement realm, even if her aptitude is poor, it's unlikely that she would fail to cultivate it within a few months.

"Unless she's not practicing the innate Dao scripture!" At that moment, Lu Yang felt as if he had fallen into an icy pit.

The sound of the heart beating had never been so clear, and his breathing had become rapid. The originally excited expression quickly faded from Lv Yang's face: "The Book of Inborn Dao... was specially prepared for me by Liu Xin?" Lv Yang recalled the scene he had seen in the Treasure Refinement Hall before.

The registered disciple of the Treasure Refinement Hall thought he had achieved great success in his cultivation, but in the end, he was seeking his own doom. Instead of achieving a breakthrough, he transformed himself into a magic treasure.

Was it just like this moment?

At that very moment, a familiar and cordial voice suddenly called out from outside the cave abode, "Junior Brother Lu, are you there?"
