Chapter 308, 31 Gates Bear the Burden, Explained to Lu Jin
"With my current pseudo-realm cultivation, I can occasionally tour the scenery of the inner realm of the Great Luo Heaven by immersing myself in the chaotic innate Qi."
Zuo Ruotong flicked her sleeves and stepped forward. Her body, a chaotic mix of phenomena, drifted uncertainly in the inner landscape, as if she would disappear from this primordial chaos at any moment.
But in this slow dissipation, his body gradually solidified, and the impurities acquired later in life were stripped away and compensated for by the starlight evolving in the boundless chaos.
"Fellow Daoist Zuo, are you using the inner vision to distinguish truth from falsehood?"
Lu Qian's crimson-gold pupils scrutinized Zuo Ruotong, and as he blinked, surprise flashed across his face.
With his current cultivation level, it's not hard for him to see Zuo Ruotong's current state and the heaven-defying path she's on.
At this moment, Zuo Ruotong's innate and acquired energies flowed and evolved, like a mixed lead and mercury pill being tempered by the innate energy of the inner void, gradually taking on an immortal appearance and emitting a slightly round and flawless precious light.
"Fellow Daoist Lü has keen eyesight. It is fortunate that we meet again. Let us have a discussion on the Dao, so as to fulfill your responsibilities."
Zuo Ruotong smiled, sat down cross-legged with goodwill, pointed to the seat in front of her, and invited, "I have come here today because of Fellow Daoist Lü's settlement of karmic debts. The two words 'karmic debts' are paired together, and the Sanyi Sect and Fellow Daoist also have unresolved ties that need to be settled."
"good."
Lu Qian waved his whisk, the dust lightly brushing his sleeves, and sat cross-legged in the inner void, facing Zuo Ruotong.
The two sat facing each other with smiles, with no barrier of age or time between them, just as they had addressed each other in their earlier conversation: friends on the same path, fellow travelers.
On the path of spiritual practice, both of them are practitioners, moving towards their own goals.
After a moment of silence, Zuo Ruotong spoke first, her smile fading slightly as she spoke with a more serious tone.
"Since this is a discussion of the Dao, and also a verification of our respective paths, I, representing the Sanyi Sect, will speak first."
"The Wudang patriarch Zhang Sanfeng left behind a Taoist text on Tianzhu Peak, called 'The Rootless Tree'."
"This passage from the Daoist canon is profound and elucidates the principles of alchemy, clarifying the principles of following and reversing the natural order."
When discussing his family's tradition, Lü Qian nodded in agreement, saying, "Following the natural order leads to ordinariness, while going against it leads to immortality; it's all about reversing the order."
The actions of Master Zhang Sanfeng throughout his life appeared somewhat eccentric and unpredictable to the world. Compared to a transcendent immortal, he seemed more like a disheveled and mad Taoist priest.
This patriarch, seemingly joking or speaking in jest, left behind a wealth of wisdom for future generations.
Zuo Ruotong gazed at a distant star, raised her hand to stroke the starlight projected from afar, and then spoke.
"One, three, three, one upside down, three, three overlapping, soaring to the ninth heaven."
"The balance of Yin and Yang is the workings of creation; those who follow it are born mortals, while those who defy it become immortals."
"Our San Yi Sect's 'Reverse Rebirth Triple' follows the path of reversal and following the natural order. The foundation of this path is the principle of differentiation."
"The birth of a human being is due to the differentiation of ancestral energy, a fact known to all, but this process is not so simple."
"The ancestral Qi is formed by the combination of innate true Qi and acquired mortal Qi."
"When a person is born, the essence of the father and the blood of the mother combine to form what is called mortal energy; when this mortal energy combines with the true energy of heaven and earth, it is called ancestral energy."
"Once the ancestral energy is formed, the rest is three hundred days of differentiation and nurturing, which is what people call ten months of pregnancy."
Zuo Ruotong reached out and touched the void. A wisp of innate Qi flowed from his fingertips. This Qi merged with the mixed acquired Qi in his body and gradually transformed into a wisp of spiritual light.
