Chapter 401: The Tao of Reality and Illusion 386

However, this timeframe can be accelerated.

Theoretically, as long as the willpower from the incense is sufficient, the birth rate of the Cang Mountain Deity will increase, greatly shortening the time.

Incense, is the power source of the Incense God. It can be observed that as an enormous amount of incense enters the divine fetus of Cang Mountain, an illusory world gradually takes shape.

Looking at its form, it seems similar to Cang Mountain, like a miniature Cang Mountain shrunk countless times. This is the Divine Territory of Cang Mountain, transformed from the willpower of the incense, and will be the future dwelling of the deity of Cang Mountain.

Divine Territory, it is a special domain formed after the advancement of the divine charm. It is constituted by the willpower of incense and born in the Spirit World.

After the establishment of the Divine Territory, the willpower of the incense can be transformed into pure divine power, serving the deities for cultivation. The larger the Divine Territory, the more divine power is transformed.

At the same time, after the birth of the Divine Territory, its owner can build his own crew.

This is the foundation of the deity. Lower-level deities master divine charm, while higher-level deities focus on the development of their Divine Territory.

At the same time, the appearance of the Divine Territory also concerns a grand plan of Jiang Chen’s.

The willpower of incense is transformed from the thoughts of all beings, containing the seven emotions and six desires of all beings. Simply put, it is a type of spiritual power.

The Divine Territory is constituted by incense willpower, that is to say, the Divine Territory is also a part of the Spirit World, based on the spiritual level, it is an illusory world, echoing the real world.

The illusory and the real, the true and the false, like the Dao of Yin and Yang, oppose each other but are born together.

In Jiang Chen’s conception, if the Incense Fire Divine Path flourishes and the gods build numerous Divine Territories on the earth, he will take action, connecting these Divine Territories into a vast Divine Realm.

No, it should be called the Virtual Divine Realm, an illusion that truly exists in the Spirit World.

If the Virtual Divine Realm is established, Jiang Chen can then use this world as a foundation, continuously incorporating the thoughts of all beings into this realm, thereby gradually strengthening the original source of this realm.

When the Virtual Divine Realm is perfected and grows to cover the entire Three Realms, it will be the time for Jiang Chen to attain Dao.

To attain the Dao through illusion, to transform all things into illusions, Jiang Chen can step into the realm of the Daluo Jinxian of the Primordial by this.

If he goes one step further, transforming the illusion into reality, refining the false into the true, turning the Virtual Divine Realm into a real Divine Realm, transporting from the mental level to the material level, Jiang Chen has confidence that he can achieve the level of Dao ancestor.

When the thought arises, all things become real;

When the thought is extinguished, all things become illusory.

The difference between the real and the illusory lies in a single thought, this is the truly invincible, and it transcends the supreme realm of Primordial Chaos.

Only those who plan for a lifetime are worthy of planning for the moment. Chess masters always plan three steps ahead for every move they make. Although Jiang Chen is only at the Dao Monarch realm now, he has merged with the Dao, making plans for his future attainment of Dao.

The attainment of Dao starts with Dao Monarch. If you wait until you reach the realm of great divine transcendents to plan for attaining Dao, it would be too late for everything.

Planning for attaining Dao should be done early.

Take Di Jun for example, before he established Heaven Court, he had already established the Demon Clan. And before he established the Demon Clan, he had already unified the Star God lineage.

Great figures are not born great, they become great step by step.

The Virtual Divine Realm is the first step for Jiang Chen to strive for the highest. However, although the plan for the Virtual Divine Realm is good, he did not put all his bets on the Virtual Divine Realm.

The sly rabbit has three holes, let alone human beings?

Although the matter of the Virtual Divine Realm is good, the plan for the Purple Micro Imperial Position cannot be neglected, both should progress together.

In fact, this is a good thing for Jiang Chen. One is in the material world and the other in the spirit world. They will not conflict with each other, but will complement each other.

If one day, Jiang Chen refines both to perfection simultaneously, not only can he rule in the material world, but he can also dominate everything on the spiritual level.

In so doing, if the two great powers are combined and the principles of illusion and reality are continuously proven, it will undoubtedly be easier for Jiang Chen to understand the Tao. Perhaps, he could thoroughly comprehend the principle of reality in one step, and it’s not impossible for him to become a saint in one step.

Cultivation, cultivation, is a process of refining the fake into reality. If he fully comprehends the two words "Real and Fake", hasn’t he attained Dao in one step?

In any case, Jiang Chen’s goal has been set and his Dao path is clear, he just needs to continue step by step.

...

......

When the Divine Fetus of Cang Mountain was initially formed, Jiang Chen was worried about potential hazards. Therefore, he did not rush to leave Cang Mountain, but stayed by the side of the Divine Fetus, silently guarding it for a while. Only after confirming that there was no problem did he leave.

During the period of guarding the Divine Fetus, Jiang Chen did not idle, he began to simplify the thirty-six Heavenly Gang Divine Powers, first turning them into small divine powers, and then using these as a foundation, deriving countless magic techniques.

Truth be told, the feeling that the blessings of fate brought to Jiang Chen was really wonderful. The many principles between heaven and earth were no longer secrets in his eyes and were easily understood by him.

In this state, not only did Jiang Chen’s cultivation speed increase, but also understanding divine abilities became much easier.

The thirty-six Heavenly Gang divine abilities were easily simplified by him, evolving into a multitude of magical techniques, as numerous as the stars.

Magical techniques were naturally easier than divine abilities. Jiang Chen, with his advanced techniques, converted divine abilities into magical techniques so he thought it was easy. Had it been the other way around, transforming Heavenly Gang divine abilities into even stronger divine abilities, he wouldn’t have found it easy.

Feeling that it was about right, Jiang Chen stopped, no longer deducing magical techniques, but compiled the techniques he had deduced into a book, named it the "Complete Collection of Heavenly Gang Magic Techniques", and threw it into the Transmission Hall.

The book recorded countless magical techniques of various kinds, encompassing everything. Moreover, this book was more like a magic treasure, not only having a strong learning ability but also the ability to deduce.

That is to say, this book can deduce new techniques through learning new knowledge. The name of the Complete Collection of Magic Techniques comes from this.

Then, Jiang Chen organized the insights he gained from deducing magical techniques, recorded them into a book, and named it the "General Outline of Heavenly Gang Magic Techniques".

This book does not record any magic techniques, it only illustrates the principles of techniques. If someone fully comprehends it, he will be able to master all magic techniques in the world freely.

With these two classics, Shangqing Palace can announce to the outside world that their family is the source of magical techniques. All the magical techniques are from us. If anyone disagrees, they can challenge us with magical techniques.

...

...

Later, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered, as the future master of Daoism, he should not only consider the disciples of Shangqing Palace but should also think about the many Daoist cultivators in the world.

Reading to this point, Jiang Chen spent some time deducing the eight Divine Spells of Daoism in the future.

The eight great divine spells refer to Purifying Heart Divine Spell, Purifying Mouth Divine Spell, Purifying Body Divine Spell, Earth-Pacifying Divine Spell, Golden Light Divine Spell, Heaven and Earth Purification Divine Spell, Blessing Incense Divine Spell and the Mysterious Charm Spell.

Each of these eight spells is miraculous, capable of entering tranquility, understanding truth and reaching Dao, eliminating sins, inviting gods to possess, pacifying houses, slaying demons and monsters, controlling thunder, and protecting oneself...

In short, the eight great divine spells encompass everything, and if cultivated to the extreme, they can generate boundless divine abilities.

However, these eight divine spells are easy to enter but difficult to master. It is easy to get started and there is no threshold. If you recite a few times a day, you will naturally be able to enter the threshold after some time. But to master it is difficult, not easier than achieving immortality.

Of course, Jiang Chen saw that the eight great divine spells were easy to enter, and only then did he deduce them.

If you want to pass it down to the cultivators in the world, it is definitely not the stronger, the better, but the easier it is to practice, the better. It must be popular. Otherwise, if you pass down the divine abilities, and others can’t learn them, what difference does it make whether you pass them down or not?

As the eight great divine spells were formed, Jiang Chen personally wrote them down once, then took a bath and burned incense, went to the Sanqing Palace, and burned them to ashes in front of the statue of Sanqing.

These divine spells to be passed down to the Daoist cultivators of the world naturally had to be approved by the Sanqing before they could be passed down.

After burning the eight divine spells, Jiang Chen waited quietly for a while, then saw the Sanqing statue shake suddenly. Not just the Sanqing statue of Shangqing Palace, all the Sanqing statues in the world were shaking.

Then, a divine light fell from the center of Sanqing statue’s brow, transforming into eight mysterious spells. These were the eight great divine spells of Daoism!

The Sanqing approved the eight great divine spells, at the same time, it also transmitted the spells to the Daoist cultivators in the world.

At this moment, as long as they worship the Sanqing statue, all cultivators receive the cultivation method of the eight great divine spells from the Sanqing statue.

The saint transmitting the law was much faster than Jiang Chen. In an instant, it was spread throughout the Three Realms. If Jiang Chen did it himself, it would take him at least a hundred years to reach this extent.

The moment the divine spells were transmitted, Jiang Chen felt that his fate and Merit had increased a lot in the depths of his being.

At the same time, a hint of green in Jiang Chen’s Sea of Consciousness gradually thickened. This was the green Qi of Immortal Dao, bearing the meaning of immortality.

With the green Qi of Immortal Dao, Jiang Chen truly has the qualifications to aspire to Immortal Dao. When the green Qi fills his body and bears the Dao Fruit, he will be able to call himself an Immortal Dao.

If the green Qi further transforms into purple Qi, then Jiang Chen will have the qualifications to become the ancestor of Immortal Dao.

"What a pleasant surprise!"

After glancing at the green Qi in the Sea of Consciousness, Jiang Chen shifted his gaze, turned around and left Cang Mountain.

After protecting the divine fetus on Cang Mountain for a long time, Jiang Chen is already certain that the divine fetus will not have any problems. He just needs to wait for the incense in Shangqing Palace to flourish, and he will be able to successfully give birth with the power of the desires fueled by the incense.

With this confirmed, Jiang Chen no longer had any worries and was ready to move on to his own affairs.

With a thought, Jiang Chen has already left Cang Mountain and arrived in the vast Eastern Sea.

There is an opportunity waiting for Jiang Chen in the Eastern Sea. The tomb of the unknown Demonic Way expert, he wonders what kind of surprise it will bring him.

Thinking so, Jiang Chen took a step forward and headed towards the Demon Tomb he had previously pinpointed.

Prior to finding the Ninth-Grade Lotus, Jiang Chen happened to pass by the tomb of the Demonic Way expert, but at the time, he was in a hurry to break through and didn’t have the confidence to leave intact, so he ignored it and left directly.

But now, Jiang Chen is confident in his greatly increased strength and treasures, and is prepared to explore the Demon Tomb.
