SFS Chapter 3075 Peak Dao Body
Chapter 3075 Peak Dao Body
Taoist Xuantian took the treasure gourd, hesitated for a moment, and then readily agreed: "Daoyou Taixu, we have known each other for many years, and I can still help you with this little favor. Five years later, I will send a Taoist body to accompany you."
"Five years?!" Taoist Master Taixu was extremely surprised. He originally thought that it would take some time to negotiate, but he did not expect Taoist Master Xuantian to agree so readily. "Five years is just a blink of an eye for me. The most important thing is that fellow Taoist agrees to help!" He knew in his heart how important the Taoist body is to the Taoist master. The reason why Taoist Master Xuantian agreed was, firstly, because of their many years of friendship, and secondly, because the benefits he offered were enough.
The Taoist master Xuantian ordered: "Lu Yun, Liuli Xingjun, the two of you should settle down in Xuantian Palace first. I will send a disciple to lead the way later. I will come to you after I finish some matters."
After everyone left, Xuantian Taoist Master's Taoist companion Meng Yao couldn't help but say, "Husband, aren't you too hasty in agreeing to send your Taoist body to Taixuan Realm? That place is extremely dangerous. Even if you go to the core area, it will be dangerous. If your Taoist body goes, I'm afraid it will be dangerous!"
Taoist Xuantian smiled, with a sly look in his eyes: "Mengyao, you don't know that I was lucky back then. I cultivated several more Taoist bodies before I became a Taoist god. Losing one will not hurt my foundation. Besides, I still have the Time Tower to speed up time. The Qiankun Yinyang Gourd given by Taoist Taixu contains a lot of good things, enough to cultivate both of my Taoist bodies to the strongest state!"
Meng Yao was relieved and reminded: "Then you should also be more careful and try your best to make the Taoist body return safely."
Xuantian Palace, the residence of immortals.
In the waterside pavilion, the water gurgles and the spiritual energy is dense. Taoist Taixu leans on the white jade railing, looking at the koi swimming in the water, and sighs: "Alas, I really didn't expect that Lao Xuan would agree so readily."
Lu Yun and Chu Xuan Ji stood respectfully aside, listening to Taoist Taixu's chatter.
Chu Xuanji was fine, and always maintained a calm and elegant demeanor, but Lu Yun couldn't help but be curious and asked, "Master, Master Xuantian agreed to help, isn't that a good thing? Why are you still sighing?"
Taoist Taixu glanced at him and said unhappily, "What do you know, kid? I thought I would have to talk a lot and even be prepared for his rejection before I reluctantly gave up the Qiankun Yin-Yang Gourd. Who knew he would agree so readily? I feel... well, I always feel a little guilty."
"Do you feel bad?" Lu Yun was even more confused. "Isn't it just the loss of a Dao body? I can just cultivate another one. What's the big deal?"
Taoist Taixu almost vomited blood, stared at Lu Yun and said: "You said it was easy! Is it so easy to cultivate the Dao body? You know nothing about the Dao body!"
Seeing Lu Yun's bewildered expression, Taoist Taixu had to patiently explain, "In addition to the original body, practitioners can also separate other individuals, such as physical clones, soul clones, and so on. To put it bluntly, these clones are just extensions of the original body's power. When merging with the Tao, they all need to return to the original body to ensure the perfection of the merging with the Tao."
He paused and continued, "There is another type, called Dharmakaya. Dharmakaya is formed by cultivating a powerful magic weapon with part of the soul clone integrated into it. Although this type of Dharmakaya is powerful, it is ultimately limited by the magic weapon. Before it can merge with the Dao, the soul clone must also return to its place."
"But the Dao body is completely different!"
The voice of Taoist Taixu became serious. "The Dao Body is a clone cultivated from a complete 'Heavenly Dao'! Only the one cultivated before the original body entered the Dao God realm is the real Dao Body! Its importance lies in that once the original body dies, the Dao Body can be cultivated to the original body's realm again, which is equivalent to having an extra life!"
Lu Yun was stunned when he heard this, and Chu Xuan Ji also widened her eyes slightly, obviously not knowing much about the Dao body.
Taoist Taixu continued, "Moreover, when the Dao body merges with the Dao, it does not need to merge with the original body and can exist independently. This means that a Taoist master can have multiple Dao bodies, each of which has independent consciousness and ability to act!"
He changed his tone and continued, "However, the cultivation of the Dao Body is also extremely difficult. It requires a huge amount of resources and a sufficiently powerful 'Heavenly Path'. Once some powerful Heavenly Paths are separated, the original body will suffer certain losses. So, don't practice the Dao Body recklessly in the future, or you may end up killing yourself!"
Lu Yun was horrified when he heard this, and nodded quickly. He couldn't help but ask, "If I have cultivated a Dao body, and I fail in the process of merging with the Dao, will the Dao body also perish?"
Taoist Taixu shook his head and said: "If the fusion of Dao fails, no matter how many Dao bodies you have, it will be useless and everything will vanish into thin air. But if the fusion of Dao succeeds, the Dao body will also transform and gain unimaginable benefits. However, there are very few people who can persist to that step..."
He sighed, "Many Dao Bodies have perished in the process of cultivation. Those who have cultivated to the Dao Master level and still have a Dao Body are probably less than 10%. Back then, I cultivated ten Dao Bodies in one go, but now there are only two left."
"Old Xuan is proficient in the art of deduction. Maybe he cultivated a few more Dao bodies in the past, but I guess there are only a few left. This time I asked him to send his strongest Dao body to Taixuan Realm. Although the treasures I gave him can help him cultivate both Dao bodies to the peak state, the time and effort he spent cannot be measured by resources. Moreover, I estimate that in the next five years, he will work hard to cultivate another peak Dao body to replace the one going to Taixuan Realm to ensure the safety of Xuantian Palace. So, I still owe him a favor."
Only then did Lu Yun realize the preciousness and importance of the Taoist body, and he was glad that he had cultivated a Taoist god clone in advance.
Otherwise, once the original body breaks through to the Dao God and dies, all the clones, Dharma bodies, etc. will die together. Now, he at least has one more life!
Various thoughts were churning in Lu Yun's mind. Since the Dao Body was so important, should he cultivate more of them when he had the chance? Or even let the clone in the Taicang World cultivate into a Dao Body?
Taoist Taixu stroked his beard and said earnestly: "Although the Dao body is good, you should not be greedy for more. Practicing the Dao body consumes your mind and energy. You must know that if your energy is dispersed, it will affect your cultivation. Your foundation is still shallow, so you should focus on improving your strength."
Lu Yun said yes respectfully, but he had other plans in mind. He had only been practicing for a short time, and he had the Great Unified Sword Dao with him. He could practice many sword arts and become a Taoist clone, which would not necessarily affect his original practice.
What's more, he also has the Map of the Flow of Time. The speed of time flows much faster than in the outside world. What's wrong with him practicing Taoism in secret?
