“HOO-”
Xuanqing took a deep breath and began to recall the content of “Ingesting Qi Decision” in his mind continuously.
All beings have an origin, the innate primordial Qi!
Born before heaven and earth, all things depend on it to nourish the body and strengthen the spirit and soul.
Om-
A mysterious aura radiated from his body.
An transparent shadow drifted out from Xuanqing’s physical body, and before he realized it, his spirit had left his body.
Qi Training and God Recovery Initial Stage, the moment the spirit leaves the body, signifies that a cultivator has stepped into the mysterious spirit realm.
In the Yin-yang Five Elements, the Five Elements correspond to the physical bodies of all things in heaven and earth, the material aspects of things.
And Yin and Yang… correspond to something even more extraordinary.
Qi Training and God Recovery Middle Stage, Spirit Night Travel, signifies that the spirit has gained some resistance in the aspect of ‘Yin.’
Qi Training and God Recovery Later Stage, Spirit Day Travel, signifies that the spirit has gained some resistance in the aspect of ‘Yang.’
This is the practice of harmony between the spirit and Yin and Yang, a necessary path for every cultivator who practices the Taoist orthodox Qi nourishing technique.
The spirit floating in the air, with every inhale and exhale, envelops a large amount of spiritual Qi.
Gradually.
This spiritual Qi forms a gigantic vortex of spiritual Qi.
Hoo-
The vortex grows larger and larger, slowly lifting Xuanqing’s spirit upwards.
At the moment when the spirit drifts out of the divine realm, the sunshine from the outside world also shines upon his spirit.
“Extreme Yang Power!”
Xuanqing felt a sudden shock in his heart, and at that moment, he woke up from his dazed state, only to find himself in a spirit state, floating in the air.
Not only that.
He felt that his spirit was still continuing to drift higher and higher into the sky.
Higher and higher- Higher and higher!
The immense pressure in the high altitude made Xuanqing’s spirit feel dizzy again, his thoughts becoming increasingly fuzzy.
“Last time my Spirit Night Travel fell into the Netherworld, this time in my Spirit Day Travel, could it be ascending into…”
This was the last thought Xuanqing had when his spirit was awake before he finally fell into a total unconsciousness amid the dizziness.
Of course.
Although the spirit was unconscious, his consciousness remained clear, still able to perform actions such as deleting an account or exiting the game.
For example.
This situation is like playing a game.
When entering the next map, as the game loads resources, the screen turns black, your game character is uncontrollable, but you can still turn off the power or unplug the network cable.
After an unknown amount of time had passed.
Finally.
While in a spirit state, Xuanqing floated up to the highest point, breaking through a special thin film.
The dizziness disappeared.
Xuanqing slowly came to his senses.
What came into view was a place shrouded in clouds and mist, filled with an immortal aura. Not far away… there was an incredibly tall gate.
Why does the shape of this gate look so familiar?
Just as he felt puzzled about this in his heart, a sudden reprimanding voice sounded in his ears.
“Hey! Which Taoist is this, daring to trespass into the South Heaven Gate!”
A muscular man in armor, with a purplish face, grumpy expression, and fierce hair, could be seen.
He pointed his blue Wisdom Sword directly at the suddenly appearing Taoist.
??
South Heaven Gate?
Xuanqing’s face was filled with astonishment.
Good grief, this time’s divine journey was truly outrageous, how did he suddenly float to the South Heaven Gate.
The image of the angry muscle man in front of him was exactly like that of the Growth Heavenly King who was guarding the South Heaven Gate.
Speaking of which.
Taoist immortals may not all be handsome and elegant, but they all have an air of immortality. The only ones with such ferocious appearances may just be the Buddhist immortals.
“Immeasurable Longevity and Fortune, I, Xuanqing, greet Growth Heavenly King!”
Xuanqing bowed with his hands clasped together.
Having said this.
He took the identity jade card from his waist and handed it over to the other party.
“Taiji Canons Left Army Enforcement Marshal Thunder Department Head, tsk tsk, he is a Daoist Immortal Officer-”
Zeng Zhang Tianwang’s smile not reaching his eyes, “This Southern Heavenly Gate is not a place for someone of your mere Eighth Rank to stay. Will you go back to the human world on your own or should this king send you on your way?”
Upon hearing these words.
Xuanqing’s face looked somewhat unpleasant.
Of course.
He knew for sure that it was because of his offense to Guanyin a few days ago, eradicating Guanyin Zen Temple, and killing Mo Ke Jiedi.
This Zeng Zhang Tianwang was one of the four Great Heavenly Kings guarding Shimen. He certainly would not show a good face to himself, a Daoist Immortal Officer.
However.
The current issue was.
He had no idea why he came to this Southern Heavenly Gate after his spirit left his body.
Go back?
How to go back?
There was indeed a way, by committing suicide and choosing to resurrect in the city, either within Heavenly Court or back in Black Wind Town.
Just as he was struggling with the decision.
Suddenly.
“Is Daoist Friend Xuanqing outside the gate…-”
An old man in white clothes with white hair and beard, holding a red jade whisk in his hand, and bearing a five-pointed star on his forehead appeared.
With a kindly smile on his face, the old man swiftly walked out from the interior of the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Upon seeing this scene.
Zeng Zhang Tianwang, who had been initially arrogant towards Xuanqing, immediately lowered his head and respectfully saluted and called out:
“I have seen Star Lord.”
That’s right.
The person who came was none other than Taibai Venus, known as the old good man of the Heavenly Court.
Taibai Venus didn’t even look at Zeng Zhang Tianwang; instead, he walked directly towards Xuanqing.
“This old man is Taibai Venus; just call me Taibai!” Taibai Venus cupped his hands with a grin.
At this moment.
Xuanqing’s heart was extremely surprised.
Another famous character from mythology had just appeared alive and well in front of him.
“Disciple Xuanqing, I have seen Star Lord!”
Xuanqing held his hands in the Yin Yang Fish Finger Gesture, raised them above his head, and performed a respectful Taoist salute to an elder with a solemn expression.
You should know.
Although Taibai Venus seemed happy-go-lucky in Journey to the West.
In reality, Taibai Venus was the Western Belligerent Gold Attack God and the strongest fighter among the Seven Luminaries Star Monarchs.
“Daoist Friend Xuanqing has shown great respect.”
Taibai Venus returned the courtesy, his eyes filled with admiration.
Not arrogant, not impatient, facing the difficulties posed by Zeng Zhang Tianwang without showing panic, and not becoming complacent when being treated respectfully by one of the Seven Luminaries.
No wonder he was personally instructed to come to the Southern Heavenly Gate to greet him.
“Daoist Friend Xuanqing, if you have any doubts, feel free to follow this old man inside, and the old man will slowly explain everything to you.”
Star Lord Taibai smiled kindly, and with a gesture of his whisk, he made an inviting gesture.
“Daoist Friend…please!”
“Star Lord, please!”
Xuanqing returned the courtesy.
He has always been very respectful to the Daoist immortals of his own sect.
Seeing this.
Taibai Venus hesitated for a moment, then smiled and shook his head, not bothering with further pleasantries and took the lead to enter the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Xuanqing followed closely behind!
Outside the Southern Heavenly Gate.
Zeng Zhang Tianwang, who was still bending over, glanced with the corner of his eye, and after seeing Star Lord Taibai entering the Southern Heavenly Gate and walking away.
He finally stood up and began to murmur in Sanskrit through his mouth.
The content mostly consisted of words like the big officer being impressive, looking down on people… and so on..
