Capítulo 1357: Chapter 869: Cultivating the Golden Light Divine Spell (2)
Xuanzhen finally chose the location of the Taoist Palace by the shore of Daqing Lake.
This Daqing Lake is the lake that Yang Zhenshan brought water from an ancient array, and beside it is a small lake called Xiaoqing Lake. The two lakes are connected, with water from the northern Spiritual Spring continuously flowing into both lakes, then andering southward to rge into the Spirit River.
After more than twenty years of natural evolution, the shore of Daqing Lake has beco a picturesque Blessed Land. Although it lacks human managent, its natural scenery is exceptionally beautiful.
The only downside is that there are quite a few exotic beasts in Daqing Lake, various fish, shrimp, turtles, and the most troubleso are those bizarre fish with scales like sharp blades, which are nad Thorn Scale Fish by the Beast Hall.
Thorn Scale Fish are extrely useful. Their thorn-like scales are as hard as steel and sharp as can be, and with a bit of forging, they can be made into arrows.
Currently, Yao Guang’s Beast Hall is cultivating a considerable number of Thorn Scale Fish in Daqing and Xiaoqing Lakes, specifically providing thorns for the Artifact Casting Hall to make arrows.
By the shore of Daqing Lake, Xuanzhen stood on the hillside, looking down at the beautiful lake surface.
“This place is quite nice, the mountain top is spacious enough to construct the Taoist Palace’s main hall, and the hillside is gentle enough for building pavilions and courtyards without issues!”
“A water pavilion can be built by the lake, and a dock over there. Following the river downstream, it’s a direct route to Jade Capital City!”
Yang Zhenshan surveyed the surrounding environnt and nodded slightly, “As long as you like it!”
Although the population in the Spirit Source Land is not large, the developnt has spread significantly.
To the east is Fla Mountain, to the west is Mystic Iron Ore, south along the Spirit River, and north is Green Wolf Mountain, among other places, all have buildings.
The Twelve Floors are concentrated in Jade Capital City, but each hall and departnt has nurous buildings and facilities outside the city.
Take the Beast Hall as an example, Green Wolf Mountain has a Green Wolf breeding base, Fla Mountain has a Golden Feathered Fire Crow breeding base, the south has dozens of horse farms specializing in raising Red Cloud Horses and Cloud Tiger Cubs, Daqing Lake and Xiaoqing Lake have aquatic breeding bases, and Moon Bay has a precious fish breeding base, among others.
Spirit Plant Hall has even more, with Spirit Fruit Gardens, tea gardens, dicinal gardens, Strange Grass Gardens, among others, flourishing everywhere.
This location by Daqing Lake is sowhat remote, but not without human activity. Xuanzhen chose this spot, with the opposite side of the lake being the aquatic breeding base of the Beast Hall.
Moreover, this place is only sixty or seventy miles from Jade Capital City. Although the roads are not through, it’s only a matter of two or three hours by boat, so transporting materials is not a concern.
Having chosen the location, Xuanzhen imdiately assigned the task of constructing the Taoist Palace to Ziwei Tower, which quickly organized ten array masters and over three hundred craftsn to the Taoist Palace Mountain.
The mountain where the Taoist Palace is situated is naturally called Taoist Palace Mountain. In the Da’an Dynasty, the Wuzhen Taoist Palace was nad as such, and in the Spirit Source Land, Xuanzhen was too lazy to co up with a na for a mountain, so simply called it Taoist Palace Mountain.
Also, the Heavenly Treasure Tower, previously known as Secret Skill Pavilion, includes Pill Hall, Artifact Casting Hall, Array Hall, and Hundred Crafts Hall. Since most buildings in the Spirit Source Land need to be equipped with arrays, most construction tasks are jointly carried out by Array Hall and Hundred Crafts Hall.
Though over three hundred craftsn might not seem many, they are all experienced workers and build efficiently.
According to Xuanzhen’s idea, the Taoist Palace will include one palace, three pavilions, twelve villas, and six auxiliary buildings. Such a volu of work is not large. For more than three hundred craftsn, it will take just over half a year to complete.
Soon, the construction of Wuzhen Taoist Palace was on track, and Yang Zhenshan began cultivating the three Divine Spells taught by Xuanzhen.
Among the three Divine Spells, Purifying Heart Divine Spell and Purifying Body Divine Spell are relatively simple, and Yang Zhenshan mastered them after practicing several tis under Xuanzhen’s guidance.
Though these two Divine Spells are easy to master, further cultivation to the profound level is quite difficult.
In terms of cultivation magic, there are the levels of “beginner,” “small achievent,” “great achievent,” “perfection,” and “transformation realm.” These two Divine Spells are easy to get started with, but cultivating to great achievent depends on comprehension and opportunity. As for transformation realm, Xuanzhen is not sure, as he has only cultivated them to small achievent and just touched the threshold of great achievent, knowing nothing of the Divine Spell’s transformation realm.
However, mastering the Golden Light Divine Spell is incredibly difficult.
Golden light is the manifestation of the Dao, divine light of the gods. Gold symbolizes indestructible strength; seekers of the Dao possess broad occult powers, brilliance emanates externally, sufficient to drive away ghosts, cut down demon auras. Like gold, it is strong and unyielding, resplendent and luminous, thus nad as Golden Light.
The Golden Light Divine Spell contains a hidden cultivation thod, precisely the thod of collecting the righteous energy of heaven and earth and refining the essence of sun and moon.
Golden light can protect the body, repel ghosts and demons, and also refine internally into a golden core, achieve enlightennt and cultivation, it can enhance magical treasures, escape earth and steal heaven.
Simply put, the golden light is a universal existence, usable anywhere, even as a cultivation thod, and won’t affect the cultivator’s current thod.
Yang Zhenshan held great expectations for this Golden Light Divine Spell. After receiving Xuanzhen’s teachings, he secluded himself for cultivation.
However, this Golden Light Divine Spell is different from ordinary Immortal Cultivation Techniques. Standard techniques typically absorb nature’s spiritual energy for cultivation, different techniques absorb different attributes of nature’s spiritual energy.
Whereas the Golden Light Divine Spell cultivates Heaven and Earth Qi, which can be understood as all things, the changes of heaven and earth.
Heaven and Earth, one yin, one yang; mysterious is the Dao, fundantal to all things. Although the Mysterious Path seems vast and boundless, nothing exists outside the realm of transformation through heaven and earth, reflection of the Dao.
Heaven and Earth Qi encompasses all things, it is the change of heaven and earth, do not stick to origin sources. It is said the multitude of heaven and earth’s Qi is accomplished through the cohesion and dispersion of yin and yang, thus it’s the root of myriad Qi in heaven and earth.
Xuanzhen’s explanation was sowhat vague, and Yang Zhenshan was equally confused in his learning.
He devoted himself to cultivation for several months, but the Golden Light Divine Spell remained elusive.
Because he simply couldn’t comprehend what Heaven and Earth Qi truly was.
Heaven and Earth Qi seed like nature’s spiritual energy, yet it appeared not to be entirely so, making Yang Zhenshan feel like a clueless child unable to understand what Heaven and Earth Qi embodies.
Until he consud a lotus seed from the Tiaoist Intent Sacred Lotus, during a mont of clarity in his divine soul, he entered a state of profound enlightennt.
The divine ability is inherent in the person, commoners lose it, while noble ones retain it. Seekers of the Dao who cultivate through endless tribulations can prove and expand one’s divine abilities!
The phrase “Suprely Respectful” ans none surpass it. With the Dao, heaven and earth stand; with the Dao, all creatures comply, hence terd Suprely Respectful.
My body, the body of a seeker of the Dao. Man can aspire to the Dao, then the Dao is not far from man, and the body is the Dao, the Dao is the body. Referring to cultivating Golden Light to perfection, surrounding the Daoist Body.
Not visible, it is called obscure, not audible, it is called rare. This speaks of cultivators achieving the detachnt from mundane dust, severing all sensory attachnts, attaining a state of no-self.
As large as heaven and earth might be, they are finite; however, the Dao is boundless.
The Dao connects beyond the tangible form of heaven and earth.
The Great Dao manifests without form or sound, yet encompasses the heavens and covers the earth, nurturing all living beings without reliance.
In the quiet chamber, layers of understanding erged in Yang Zhenshan’s mind, faint golden light radiated from within his body, enveloping him entirely.
Yang Zhenshan suddenly beca enlightened.
What is terd golden light is not nature’s spiritual energy, but the transformation Dao of all things and heaven and earth, which can also be understood as the source of Heaven and Earth Great Dao.
Golden light is the power borrowed from the Dao’s source, encompassing the concept of rging oneself with the Dao.
Such things are too abstruse, even with many insights, Yang Zhenshan couldn’t elucidate them, no wonder Xuanzhen’s explanation was ambiguous.
Yang Zhenshan sat quietly for two hours before slowly opening his eyes, at which mont two golden rays shot from his eyes.
His vision beca incredibly peculiar, no longer seeing actual objects, but transformations of Heaven and Earth Qi.
At this ti, his sight beca strange and fantastic, perceiving the drifting spiritual energy, the hazy Void, the essence of Spirit Source Land, and nurous vague and unknown presences.
The Void is a world beyond reality, also known as infinite emptiness, where everything is illusion and nothingness.
It is said that Golden Core cultivators can enter the Void, traversing within to achieve swift movent.
