Chapter 336

Feeling the gap between Doudi and Dousheng, Dousheng should actually be the limit. It’s just that the realm of Doudi breaks the common sense of cultivation in Doupo Continent.

It is said that the original imperial energy is the power left over from the creation of heaven and earth. This strange power itself is not a conventional power, and when one is used, one less is left.

The powerful Dou Di uses this strange energy to leap to a higher level.

“Have the strong people in this world never thought about comprehending the original imperial energy and then choosing to replicate and reshape it?” Xiao Jun felt a little sigh. The original imperial energy might very likely contain important information about the creation of this world. Hasn’t it been studied before?

In other words, it has been studied but not passed down.

Even if the original imperial energy cannot be reshaped and replicated, why not look for a new way out instead of going down this path to death?

Anyone with a discerning eye should be able to see that the so-called path of achieving spiritual enlightenment through the so-called Origin of the Imperial Qi is essentially a dead end, because the Origin of the Imperial Qi will eventually dissipate.

Of course, it’s also possible that those Dou Di simply don’t care, because most people who achieve Dou Di wouldn’t want others to treat them as equals. Perhaps a small number of Dou Di would think of a way out for future generations, but the majority definitely wouldn’t.

The scarcity and non-renewability of the original imperial energy is actually a good means of monopoly.

It seems that the true path lies in comprehending the laws of heaven and earth, then transforming the heaven and earth itself through this understanding, and then, through the harmony of heaven and man, giving rise to endless changes. This path is the great way for everyone to walk, and everyone can walk on it.

This is exactly the way Xiao Jun is practicing his soul now.

Although Xiao Jun had once underestimated the Dou Di realm, ever since he recognized the relics left behind by the Dou Di, he truly felt the terrifying power of the life forms at the Dou Di realm.

But the Dou Emperor did not reach the pinnacle of the material realm after all.

“That’s right. After all, reaching the pinnacle of the material realm cannot be achieved by relying on so-called fixed energy.”

“It also requires a vast amount of systematic knowledge and a profound analysis of the laws governing the material world. At the very least, one must be extremely proficient in physics and mathematics. Only then can one reach the pinnacle of the material realm.”

“The Dou Di before me seems to have a deep understanding of the universe, but he hasn’t mastered the laws of matter yet.”

Although the Dou Di is like a mythical dragon emerging from a group of jackals, tigers and leopards, it is obvious that although this mythical dragon is incredibly powerful, it still relies on its own claws and instincts to fight.

Matter is the basis of almost everything.

Even the so-called soul and information require material support. Even the void, the vacuum, which appears to be nothing, is itself a form of matter.

Or, we can call it Xiang, or Qi, or Xiang, the appearance of the world.

This description is more appropriate.

To reach the extreme of the material realm, that is, to reach the extreme of understanding of all laws and aspects, and to reach the extreme of understanding of laws, this kind of existence does not have to be confined to a fixed system.

Arriving in any world, even an ordinary world without any strange energy, one can quickly become stronger and can practice easily in any world without any hindrance.

If one could achieve this, then breaking through to the so-called Dou Di level wouldn’t necessarily require a fixed energy level. Of course, such an existence couldn’t simply be called a Dou Di. Even at this level, even the world couldn’t constrain them, and it couldn’t be described by a single realm.

“Boy, what did you see?” The middle-aged man on the side said to Xiao Jun with a smile.

I have spent thousands of years studying everything. I have carefully explored every part of the stone gate, but I can’t see anything. I have exhausted all my accumulated understanding of restrictions and formations, but I still can’t figure it out.

This guy just gently touched the stone door in front of him. What can he figure out?
“I only saw a little bit. The power of the Dou Di is still beyond my reach now!” Xiao Jun sighed.

The middle-aged man chuckled and shook his head. He naturally thought that Xiao Jun hadn’t seen anything, and what he said was just an excuse to explain himself.

However, he also agreed with Xiao Jun’s words, because the power of the Dou Emperor was beyond his understanding, and the existence of the Dou Emperor seemed to be above the heaven and earth.

The middle-aged man was so ancient that he naturally understood the importance of the so-called original imperial energy. He came to the ancient emperor’s cave to find the last original imperial energy left in the world by the ancient emperor Tushe.

But thinking about this, he couldn’t help but sigh that Tuoshe Ancient Emperor was truly a jerk. He had originally left the last of his original imperial energy, yet he had hidden it away, trapping all cultivators who had the chance to achieve Doudi status in this world.

If the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade is completely lost, then this cave will almost never be opened! The last original imperial energy will never appear again.

Perhaps, as the young man in front of him said, the restriction on the ancient emperor Tuoshe’s cave will not disappear until a million years have passed. However, by that era, everything in the Douqi Continent would have been broken. Who knows how many eras have passed, and who knows how many Doushengs have been born. Perhaps by that era, the Dou Emperor would have become a myth or legend.

And he even locked himself in here, using him as a gatekeeper. Tuoshe Ancient Emperor… damn it!
After saying that, the middle-aged man felt his teeth itching again.

But fortunately, someone has come now, and there is hope for him to escape. Moreover, the person in front of him seems to have news about his child. Thinking of this, he looked at Xiao Jun’s distraction in front of him.

Xiao Jun carefully explored the stone gate, relying on calculations to comprehend the internal structure of the stone gate, capturing subtle fluctuations, and then calculating and deducing the most microscopic structure.

If the research is to be completed, it seems that it will take several years. Xiao Jun can naturally leave this distraction to concentrate on the research, solve the problem, and then comprehend the method to enter the stone gate and walk into the ancient emperor’s cave.

But there is another way…

“If my soul reaches the level of refining the spirit and returning to the void, the spirit will return to the void, and the void will continuously produce the spirit’s spiritual light. At this level, I can easily pass through the stone door in front of me.”

The realm of the primordial spirit returning to the void, the level of refining the spirit and returning to the void, even if one cannot have the strength to directly smash the stone door in front of him, it is not difficult to pass through the restriction and directly enter the cave.

Because the stone gate in front of him could almost withstand the smallest dust in the world, but could it withstand the void? However, in order to cultivate to the realm of refining the spirit and returning to the void, although Xiao Jun had a hint of the future path of soul cultivation, it was only a hint, equivalent to just creating a folder.

It also takes several years to perfect this state of mind.

Fortunately, Xiao Jun has the ability to divide his attention and can carry out both methods at the same time.

At this time, Xiao Jun’s spirit was in the cave of Tuoshe Ancient Emperor. Facing the stone gate, he sat down cross-legged and used all his spiritual power to begin exploring.

The middle-aged man felt a little anxious when he saw Xiao Jun sitting there in meditation, but he tried not to show it.

He coughed lightly and then said, “Why, why don’t you go out? I think it’s easy for you to leave, isn’t it? There’s no benefit in staying in the Ancient Emperor’s Cave Mansion.”

“I’m just comprehending the ancient emperor’s cave. I have plenty of time!” Xiao Jun’s soul opened his eyes and answered the middle-aged man.

“Listen to me. I’ve been meditating for thousands of years. I can give you all my insights. Go find the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade. As long as you have the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, you can easily pass through, open the restriction, and obtain the inheritance of the Dou Emperor in the cave!” The middle-aged man persuaded Xiao Jun earnestly: “With the Tuoshe Ancient Emperor Jade, you can meditate for as long as you want.”

“It’s okay. Give me the enlightenment. I know it, and all the rest of my soul knows it.” Xiao Jun replied to the middle-aged man in front of him, “Don’t worry. I may appear to be staying here, but I actually exist in other places, and all my thoughts and ideas are the same. You don’t have to worry. After all, I am outside.”

“The path of soul cultivation is so mysterious and profound?” The middle-aged man again looked incredulous. If a fragment of the soul knew, then the original soul could also know? How terrifying is this? In other words, it can transform into countless incarnations and explore the Douqi Continent at will?

What treasures, what ancient relics, what seniors’ caves, as long as you are willing to spend time and then transform into countless incarnations, you can find them one by one. This method really takes advantage of the practice. Even if you cannot obtain a large amount of treasures, you can constantly split your soul out to see the Douqi Continent. The main body only needs to hide in the void, and you can see the many mysteries of the Douqi Continent!

If I had such a method, why would I be trapped here as a guardian spirit beast? I could just send a soul fragment in, explore freely, and play freely in the Dou Qi Continent. And according to the person in front of me, even if this soul fragment disappeared, it would not harm the main soul at all.

Not to mention that with just this one wisp of soul, he can fight against a top-level fighting saint like himself. It is obvious that his fighting power is also very abundant!

Thinking about it one by one, this way of soul cultivation is really incredibly powerful and extremely convenient.

This made the middle-aged man immediately envious, and he set his eyes on the soul cultivation method of the person in front of him.

“Excuse me, do you have any method for your soul cultivation?…”

“What, you want to learn?”

“If you want to pass it on to me… I can accept it…”

“I can teach you the method of soul cultivation, but I don’t have any so-called skills!” Xiao Jun shook his head and said to the middle-aged man in front of him: “Or rather, the skills of soul cultivation are completely unimportant.”

Because the most important thing in the path of soul cultivation is enlightenment. This enlightenment is the analysis of heaven and earth, understanding how matter moves, understanding the laws behind the myriad phenomena, and thus grasping the origin between heaven and earth.

“The technique is not important?”

“Forget it, I’ll tell you how to practice…” Xiao Jun shook his head: “The first step… enter into meditation.”

First of all, the system in the Yang God should be adapted in this world. The means of internal cultivation in the early stage can be achieved with a simple adaptation. What is really important is the subsequent thunder tribulation realm.

In the “Yang Shen” worldview, there is no need to study the composition of the soul and the essence of the soul as hard as Xiao Jun did. One only needs to accumulate enough and survive the thunder tribulation to become powerful rapidly.

Therefore, when they reached the realm of thunder tribulation, the soul cultivation systems of both sides had already diverged.

Of course, Xiao Jun comprehended the Pure Yang True Fire and realized that he could use the Pure Yang True Fire to directly replace the thunder tribulation and make his soul stronger.

In the “Yang Shen” worldview, the soul is becoming more and more like a substantial existence. The originally illusory soul is directly transformed into substance, and the soul of the Nine Tribulations Ghost Immortal can even give birth to flesh and blood.

However, this continent does not have the strange environment in the “Yang Shen” worldview, and Xiao Jun has never thought of completely moving the entire “Yang Shen” system to this Dou Qi continent.

If the “Yang Shen” practice system is to make the soul transform from virtual to real, and eventually the soul becomes more and more like a real existence, then the Supreme Yang Shen in the Yang Shen world has 480 million thoughts, and each thought is a piece of heaven, which makes the soul become “substantial” to the extreme.

Then Xiao Jun’s current method of soul cultivation is to first transform the virtual into the real, and then transform the real into the virtual, and finally the soul will merge with the Tao, become an existence, and become the most basic operating code in the world, occupying existence endlessly.

“Use the softest thing in the world to conquer the hardest thing in the world.”

In fact, Xiao Jun did not think that the accumulation of energy could achieve the realm of the other shore from the beginning. Just like Xiao Jun in the Yangshen world, he refined the Hongmeng Yuanshen and evolved the existence and non-existence between heaven and earth.

Although he will eventually reach the realm of Yang God, Xiao Jun can predict that he wants to truly reach the other shore.

The Yang God realm is just a step. To achieve the other shore realm, the supernatural powers of the Supreme Yang God must be completely abandoned. Achieving the Supreme Yang God is like temporarily boarding a raft.

Now he still needed the Supreme Yang God realm to help him run on the river, but when he reached the other side, he had to give it up. It also meant turning reality into illusion.

In fact, the moral truth left by the immortal monument of the Great Emperor Changsheng, the Tai Shang Wang Qing left by the Supreme Taoist Master, and the Maha Vajra Prajna Paramita left by the Holy Emperor Yuan, they all seemed to have understood this truth.

It’s a pity that their souls and spirits died before they could achieve enlightenment.

Fortunately, Xiao Jun’s thinking spans the universe, allowing him to see countless landscapes, constantly try and error, constantly try on different paths, and finally find the answer to the problem.
