Refining Weapons from Wood Reveals Supernatural Power

Indeed, a teacher is like a guiding light, illuminating the path ahead when one is lost.

Guang Chengzi had considered self-cultivation, but setting aside how difficult the Taiyi Dao was to understand, he simply couldn't grasp the meaning of how to practice the next step of condensing immortal golden nature.

After wandering for thousands of years, a single word from a wise teacher can dispel confusion and reveal the true nature of things.

"The Taiyi can freely roam the Heavenly Dao, glimpse countless secrets, comprehend the majesty of the Heavenly Dao, and with a clear mind, can reflect upon all things. Nothing in the world can escape the observation of the Taiyi Golden Immortal."

"The Tao is formless and soundless, colorless and tasteless, without fragrance or stench, without beauty or ugliness. All things in heaven and earth are born from the evolution of the Tao. Therefore, the Tao is the mother of all things. Its nature is natural, constant and impermanent, which is the essence of the Tao."

The voice of the Primordial Celestial Venerable was as loud as a great bell. Every word he spoke was like a giant hammer striking Guang Chengzi's heart, shattering all his past misconceptions and reshaping him into a correct understanding.

Yuanshi Tianzun was determined to completely correct Guangchengzi's faults and rebuild his foundation, rather than continuing down the wrong path.

Although this action would diminish Guang Chengzi's cultivation, and it might even be possible for him to start cultivating again, Yuanshi Tianzun did not care at all.

With him around, even if Guang Chengzi's cultivation is completely destroyed and he becomes a mere mortal, so what? He can still roam freely in the prehistoric world!

Moreover, Yuanshi Tianzun did not need Guangchengzi to become a useful person as soon as possible to help him. He wanted a successor to inherit his mantle, not a subordinate. Naturally, he valued the foundation more than this little bit of cultivation.

Rather than continuing down the wrong path, it's better to take this opportunity to let him start over, so that if he takes too many wrong turns in the future, he won't be able to turn back.

Guang Chengzi also felt that his past insights were full of errors and omissions, so he immediately began to drastically revise them, even starting from scratch.

Cultivation is like building a tall building. If the foundation is wrong, no matter how tall the building is built, it will not be stable at all, and will only increase the risk of collapse.

Back then, the taller the building, the more terrifying it was when it collapsed. If you wanted to start over, the foundation was full of ruins, and you didn't even know where to begin digging. The only option was to be reborn and start over.

As the principles spoken by Yuanshi Tianzun became more profound, Guangchengzi's aura gradually began to decline.

From the original state of perfect Xuanxian, where immortality was conceived, they fell to the minor Xuanxian stage, and then to the Heavenly Immortal and True Immortal stages, barely managing to stay within the realm of immortals.

In the end, he might lose all his cultivation, become mentally unstable, and have a weak body, sitting in the Jade Void Palace like an ordinary mortal, probably unable to even defeat a wild beast in the mountains.

Despite his complete destruction of cultivation, Guang Chengzi showed no sign of fear or unease. Instead, he wore a faint, satisfied smile, as if his life had reached its fulfillment and he had nothing left to regret.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun also revealed a smile, and continued to expound on the Great Dao, starting from the very beginning of cultivation and continuing until he achieved the cultivation of a true immortal.

As the Great Dao of Yuanshi Tianzun spread, Guang Chengzi's cultivation level also increased with his words, as if there were no bottlenecks at all, and cultivation was just like adding water.

True Immortal, Celestial Immortal, Mysterious Immortal!

In just one day, Guang Chengzi returned to his original Xuanxian realm. Even at the center of his brow, tiny golden lights, the size of beans, flashed, revealing wisps of immortal aura.

Immortal Gold!

Upon seeing this, the Primordial Celestial Venerable finally stopped his discourse on the Great Dao and said with a smile, "Not bad. You have now re-emerged with the Immortal Golden Nature. How do you feel?"

As he finished speaking, Guang Chengzi opened his eyes at the same time, feeling the magical power within his body that was more than a hundred times stronger than before, and his physical body that was a thousand times more solid. He was filled with many emotions.

He originally thought he had reached the pinnacle of the Xuanxian realm, but he never expected that in the eyes of Yuanshi Tianzun there would still be so many mistakes and flaws.

Even when it comes to fighting with others, it's not just about physical strength and magical power. Various supernatural abilities and magical treasures are also extremely important. But it's undeniable that if you have strong magical power and a solid physical body, you will definitely have a huge advantage in the fight.

Guang Chengzi asked himself honestly, if his former self were to meet his current self, he would probably have to use all his strength to activate the Douluo Lamp to barely win, let alone kill him.

"Only after seeing the sky do you realize how insignificant a well is; only after seeing the ocean do you realize how shallow a lake is," Guang Chengzi said honestly.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded in agreement and said, "I have already explained cultivation and the Taiyi Dao to you, but you can't bite off more than you can chew. Knowing too much will not do you any good."

Therefore, now you should refine the Immortal Jade Medicine bestowed upon you by your elder brother to enrich the metal element within your body. However, do not swallow it directly; instead, inhale and exhale the immortal energy within to nourish yourself.

Like adding oil to a candle flame to make it slowly grow stronger, one must never replace one's own immortal metal nature with this immortal jade energy. Such an act, while potentially leading to rapid advancement in cultivation, would jeopardize one's future.

Guang Chengzi naturally understood this principle as well. After all, the Immortal Gold Nature was the foundation for a cultivator to achieve immortality. If it was obtained through the hands of others, would it be himself or someone else who would achieve immortality?

So he nodded and said, "Disciple understands, Master, please rest assured."

Yuanshi Tianzun also understood that Guangchengzi understood this principle, but as a new teacher, he couldn't help but give him a few more words of advice, fearing that the other party might go astray. He truly had the heart of a loving father.

"I once said that reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles, but before traveling ten thousand miles, you must first read ten thousand books. Go and copy books from the Langhuan Library."

The Primordial Celestial Venerable laughed and said, "What I said earlier was not a lie. As long as you don't copy it all in one day, you won't be allowed to come out."

"In your spare time, you can swallow and exhale that jade medicine as a way to relax. Now, take out the Tai'a sword that your third brother gave you, as well as those sword lotuses."

Guang Chengzi had no suspicions and immediately took out a three-foot-long sword and several beautiful lotus flowers that were as vibrant as jade.

It was the Tai'a Sword that Tongtian had previously bestowed upon him, and the Sword Lotus he obtained after defeating Jin Guang Xian.

Yuanshi Tianzun sat high on his cloud bed, holding these items in his hands. After a moment's thought, he suddenly smiled, and seventy-two colors of light bloomed behind him, layer upon layer like lotus flowers. Within each color of light, a completely different Dao was revealed.

Among these seventy-two radiant lotus flowers, only one lotus heart, about the size of a fist, is quietly developing, constantly absorbing and releasing various colors of light, as if it is growing.

Although it is just a lotus seed, it contains a power that is tens of millions of times more terrifying than all seventy-two Great Daos combined, and is even incomparable to them.

The Primordial Celestial Venerable casually tossed the sword and three lotuses into the lotus seed. The lotus seed immediately swallowed them, and its entire body became translucent, allowing people to see what was inside.

The Dao within the lotus seed trembled slightly, instantly shattering the three lotus flowers into dust. Cracks also appeared on the Tai'a sword, as if it were about to break.

At this moment, Yuanshi Tianzun immediately shouted, "Disciple, quickly offer up your Tushita Lamp! Your master will now teach you the secret method of weapon forging from the Jade Void Palace—the method of forging weapons from wood!"

Upon hearing this, Guang Chengzi immediately took out a palace lantern that was as green as jade and crystal clear throughout.

Above this palace lantern, a tiny purple flame flickers gently, so small that it seems a gentle breeze could extinguish it.

Yuanshi Tianzun reached out and beckoned, and the palace lantern immediately flew into his palm. He then gently blew on the purple flame.

With a breath of immortal energy, the purple flames seemed to have taken a super-potent tonic, instantly transforming into an endless, towering sea of ​​fire that spewed out continuously. The terrifying heat swept across the Jade Void Palace, even causing the White Crane Boy to be somewhat overwhelmed, his hair and beard beginning to scorch.

Even Guang Chengzi felt his mouth was dry and his body was burning hot. If he hadn't been the owner of the Tushita Lamp, he would have been burned all over by now.

"Is this the true power of an innate spiritual treasure? It seems that the Douluo Lamp really did follow the wrong master."

Guang Chengzi sighed. The sea of ​​fire he had conjured in the past was actually diluted. If he were to truly unleash the Douluo Purple Fire, it would only amount to two ten-foot-long fire dragons.

How could it be like this, directly evolving into a real Tushita Fire Sea? This shows how terrifying the power of the Primordial Celestial Venerable is; even if he wanted to evolve a vast world, it wouldn't be impossible for him.

Even in such a sea of ​​fire, the lotus seed couldn't turn red at all. Instead, the contents of the lotus seed gradually began to merge together under the pressure of the fire.

The lotus flowers, reduced to dust, clung to the cracks in the Tai'a sword, slowly filling them in and forming lotus-shaped patterns. A lotus necklace even hung from the hilt of the sword.

Besides blowing a breath of immortal energy, Yuanshi Tianzun placed the Doushuai Lamp under the lotus seed and roasted it for three days and three nights. Then he picked the lotus seed and stuffed the Doushuai Lamp into it.

Yuanshi Tianzun held the lotus seed in his hand and bowed to Guangchengzi, saying, "Take out your Jade Void Treasure Box and put this lotus seed inside. The day the lotus breaks open will be the day you emerge from the box."

Guang Chengzi nodded and replied, "Disciple understands." He then solidified the Jade Void Treasure Box, which had turned into spiritual light, back into a physical form and presented it to Yuanshi Tianzun with both hands.

Suddenly separated from his body, the Jade Void Treasure Box seemed very reluctant to part with it, and continued to tremble in Guang Chengzi's hand, as if it were being coquettish.

Facing the grasp of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the Jade Void Treasure Box seemed quite dissatisfied, slightly opening a crack as if it wanted to shoot out a sword aura to show its power.

Upon seeing this, the Primordial Celestial Venerable laughed and scolded, "This box of yours served as my door plaque for thousands of years, yet now that you've seen your master, you've forgotten me completely, showing no gratitude whatsoever. You truly deserve a beating."

The box, being sentient, could understand what was being said, but it pretended not to understand and still wanted to return to Guang Chengzi.

Yuanshi Tianzun smiled and shook his head, ignoring the struggle of the Jade Void Treasure Box. He stuffed the lotus seed into the box and personally wrote a talisman, which he then pasted directly into the gap of the box.

After doing all this, Yuanshi Tianzun tossed it to Guangchengzi, saying, "My method of refining weapons is based on the growth of trees. Although it is slow, it is safe and gentle."

Unlike the violent fire-refining method, which forcibly fuses things into one, although convenient and quick, it also loses a lot of its essence, which is not good. Now I have used the weapon-refining method to seal it into the Jade Void Treasure Box.

When the day comes that you succeed, these items will bear the mark of the Celestial Enlightenment, becoming like your innate treasures, easily controlled and possessing a greater degree of agility and versatility than ordinary treasures.

It must be said that Yuanshi Tianzun really went to great lengths for Guangchengzi, going to such great lengths to refine it, just to make Guangchengzi more comfortable to use.

However, this also shows that Yuanshi Tianzun was indeed the progenitor of the Dao of Weapons, and that he was able to evolve the acquired method of weapon crafting into the innate Dao, which can be considered as skill approaching the Dao.

If it were an ordinary person, even if they were willing to go through all that trouble, they wouldn't have the ability to do it.

Guang Chengzi naturally understood Yuanshi Tianzun's good intentions and was moved, but he knew that such a great kindness could not be expressed in words, so he only thought about repaying such kindness in the future.

After finishing all this, Yuanshi Tianzun seemed a little tired, so he waved his hand and said, "You may leave now. Come back to Yuxu Palace after you have finished copying the book. If you need anything, just tell Baihe."

Guang Chengzi bowed and replied, "Disciple understands. I will take my leave now. May Master's Great Dao prosper forever and his holy life be boundless."

At this moment, the White Crane Boy stepped forward and replied in a low voice, "Senior Brother, please come with me."

Guang Chengzi nodded and smiled, "Thank you for your trouble, Junior Brother Baihe."

After the two left Jade Void Palace, they smiled at each other and each flew down the mountain on auspicious clouds.

Without the presence of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, the White Crane Boy became much more lively, his adorable face full of smiles as he excitedly exclaimed, "Senior Brother, you've finally arrived! You know, before you came, those Shangqing disciples were really arrogant!"

I couldn't act against them because the master wouldn't give the order, which was incredibly frustrating. Thankfully, Senior Brother, you humiliated them and taught them a lesson! Otherwise, they would have really thought that no one in Jade Void Palace was capable of anything!

The White Crane Boy was clearly also mistreated by some of the Shangqing disciples. After all, he was just a boy, so naturally he would be looked down upon and ordered around by some brainless people who thought he was insignificant.

He couldn't very well bother the Primordial Celestial Venerable with such trivial matters, but he also felt uncomfortable if he kept quiet. Over the years, he had been so angry that he was about to vomit blood.

Fortunately, Guang Chengzi suddenly appeared, which avenged Baihe Tongzi; otherwise, the boy would have been depressed for who knows how long.

Then, the White Crane Boy poured out his story like beans spilling from a bamboo tube, recounting all the hardships he had endured over the years. It was so moving that it brought tears to the eyes of all who heard it. Guang Chengzi was astonished and admired the White Crane Boy's patience.

If it were him, being ordered around like this by these Shangqing disciples, he probably would have exploded long ago. How could he have endured it for so long?

If it were anything else, it would be fine. The White Crane Boy is the attendant of the Primordial Celestial Venerable, not their servant, so naturally he doesn't need to obey.

However, some people use Tongtian's name to order around Baihe Tongzi. No matter how unwilling Baihe Tongzi is, the Three Pure Ones are like brothers now, and Tongtian is his third master. So no matter how unwilling he is, he has to do it with a pinch.

Just as one shouldn't speak ill of someone behind their back, as the White Crane Boy became more and more excited, someone spotted him and immediately flew over with a smile, as if they had encountered something amusing.

Upon seeing the newcomer, the White Crane Boy immediately stopped talking, and a look of hatred appeared on his face.

For even the usually serene White Crane Boy to react in this way, it shows just how disgusting this person must be to him.

Guang Chengzi followed his gaze and looked ahead, only to find that the newcomer was a pink-clad man with rabbit ears on his head and a handsome face, but with extremely lewd eyes.
