Chapter 260: Chapter 207: Discussing Dao Harvest, Talismanic Skill; Negotiations Frustrated (5.2K Major Chapter).

From daylight to nighttime, from nighttime to daylight.

Over the course of three consecutive days, three men sat atop a mountain, each talking in depth about what they had learned. This discussion on philosophy was deeply enlightening for all of them.

Pei Xuanjing sat alone in his room, contemplating what he had gained from this discussion.

The Mire Sect has the same origins as the White Lotus Sect. Both claim to be the orthodox faith, though it is difficult to trace back to determine which is the original.

After thousands of years, today’s Mire Sect is an amalgamation of doctrines from the Taoist School, the Buddhism School, the Mani Sect, and many other religious sects.

Therefore, the martial arts of the Mire Sect contain elements not only from Buddhism, but also from Taoism, Mani, and many other sects.

Zhao Baiyang’s background is unknown. He later joined the Mire Sect, and his martial studies rank as some of the best in the realm.

Zhao Baiyang’s martial arts put more emphasis on the true meaning. His mastery of True Qi and body cultivation are slightly inferior to Pei Xuanjing’s.

However, when it comes to the philosophical essence of martial arts, Zhao Baiyang’s understanding is unique and in no way inferior to that of Pei Xuanjing.

According to the three ways of cultivation categorised by Pei Xuanjing, Zhao Baiyang focuses on Refining Qi and Refining Spirit, with an emphasis on Refining Spirit.

Although Pei Xuanjing’s understanding of the philosophical essence of martial arts is strong, this is all due to multiple simulations carried out by himself. As for cultivation, he is not particularly proficient.

Moreover, the knowledge relayed by Zhao Baiyang explains precisely what Pei Xuanjing lacks, clearing his misunderstandings and reinforcing his confidence in the Path of Spirit Refinement that he identified.

As the prevailing figure from Dragon Tiger Mountain and leader of the Zhengyi Dao, he focuses on Refining Qi and Talismanic Skill.

Talismanic Skill, as a fundamental technique in the Taoist school, is something Pei Xuanjing undoubtedly knows.

According to the elder of Dragon Tiger Mountain, all disciples, upon reaching the Third-grade Realm, choose to take in a talisman.

Taking in a talisman involves cultivating a talisman seed within the body, treating it as one’s primary talisman, and nurturing its growth through continuous infusions of True Qi.

The Doctrine of Talismans!

Upon hearing this, Pei Xuanjing had a sense of enlightenment. The Doctrine of Talismans and the cultivation method of becoming an immortal were surprisingly similar.

“Viewed in this light, the Doctrine of Talismans should be considered a distinct cultivation path, different from the Essence-Qi-Spirit path I have theorised,” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.

While he had deduced the three paths of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, he certainly didn’t arrogantly presume there could only be these three cultivation routes.

In Taoism, there are a plethora of cultivation methods. Even those from the same lineage may evolve into different paths of cultivation over time.

This Doctrine of Talismans stands as one of the major paths of the Taoist school, on the equal footing with the Golden Core Dao, and undoubtedly possesses profound mysteries.

The Orthodox Dragon and Tiger Lineage is, after all, a significant branch for Talismanic cultivation, practising Refining Qi and Talismanic Skill concurrently.

Refining Qi, Talismanic Skill, combined with the elder’s physical cultivation method, they can be said to practice simultaneous cultivation of the three nnth•

It was precisely because of this that Pei Xuanjing solved his doubts. The reason the elder hadn’t made a breakthrough in his simulated life was not that he couldn’t but that he wanted to progress on all three paths at the same time.

Through this discussion, Pei Xuanjing greatly benefited from the two individuals.

Of course, the three paths of Essence, Qi, and Spirit that he proposed also proved incredibly beneficial to the other two, clearing many of their doubts.

Even though the three of them have their understandings and views, there are inevitably conflicting and contradictory points. But more often, they seek commonality within difference and explore the Great Tao together.

As for now, the way of cultivation has been severed since the Tang Dynasty.

The original secret scriptures disappeared as though they had never existed.

As people came later, no one could guarantee their path was correct. Every one of them was a trailblazer, fighting their way through the vast wilderness of cultivation and advancing painstakingly.

The future path of cultivation needs to be executed step by step. Only by truly moving forward can one understand the difficulties and doubts met with each step.

The insights and personal philosophies learned from the two individuals during this discussion will make Pei Xuanjing’s cultivation more robust, allowing him to find and fix deficiencies and strengthen his foundation.

Besides, because of this discussion, these two top-level experts generously shared their cultivation insights. For the simulator, it was an excellent opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of Taoyun.

In just three days, Pei Xuanjing’s Taoyun had increased by over thirty thousand, putting him not too far from initiating his next life simulation.

Pei Xuanjing steadied his breath, discarded stray thoughts, held the Original Qi, and concentrated his mind.

In his mind, he recalled the words that Zhao Baiyang had said to him before leaving: “Zhao came here today not only for a discussion with Brother Pei but also to give you a message. The Ghost Emperor of Fengdu is rallying various experts to encircle and kill you.”

After the contest between Pei Xuanjing and the elder had ended, Zhao Baiyang should have left.

After all, now that the Emperor is dead and several months have passed since the incident, he should be considering how the Mire Sect should proceed. Whether that means cleaning up other branches of the White Lotus Sect and acquiring the remaining fragments of scriptures or other business, he needs to get busy.

But upon learning that the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu was rallying troops against Pei Xuanjing, Zhao Baiyang, despite declining the Ghost Emperor’s proposal, decided to warn Pei Xuanjing.

Although Pei Xuanjing had already foreseen in his life simulation that the Ghost Emperor of Fengdu would make a move on him, he did not expect that the Ghost Emperor would not only face him alone but also rally other experts against him..
