On the cliff of Kuroshio Mountain, Chu Xi told Lin Bai about the origin of Taoism.
"As for Taoism at levels above fifth level, I have never seen it in my life. I have only seen brief introductions in classics."
Her eyes revealed a hint of recollection, and she said: "There is a classic in Tianshui Sect that records the battle that destroyed the Nine Nether Demon Palace a hundred thousand years ago!"
"It is said that in the great battle that year, Emperor Chu of the Chu State led an army into the mountain gate of the Nine Nether Demon Palace. At that time, the Demon Emperor of the Nine Nether Demon Palace led thousands of disciples to fight!"
"That day, millions of warriors gathered at the mountain gate of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, and the shouts of killing were deafening! Corpses lay everywhere, and blood flowed like rivers!"
"Just when the battlefield was inseparable, the heaven and earth were suddenly torn apart by a magnificent force. Infinite dazzling light was projected from the clouds, as if it had turned into countless lightsabers, slashing into the Nine Nether Demon Palace!
"
"At the same time, the ground cracked, and bursts of smoke rolled out from the cracks, turning into evil ghosts when they landed on the ground, killing those lightsabers!"
"When the lightsaber and the evil ghost collided, and a burst of dazzling white light swept across the sky and the sky, the world returned to peace, and the gate of the Nine Nether Demon Palace was reduced to ruins, and the millions of warriors inside could survive.
There are so few!”
"It was later that someone learned that the Infinite Light Sword was the fifth-level Taoist technique of the Chu Kingdom, the 'Immortal Killing Sword Shadow', while the underground evil spirits were the fifth-level Taoist technique of the Nine Nether Demon Palace, 'Hundred Ghosts Night Walk'."
"This is the only battlefield in the Eastern Region of Demon Realm recently where Taoist spells above the fifth level are being used!"
Hearing Chu Xi's words, Lin Bai couldn't help but narrow his eyes.
How can the fifth-level Taoism be so terrifying?
The collision of the two Taoist moves not only caused the gate of the Nine Nether Demon Palace to be burned down, but also caused all the millions of warriors inside to be wiped out!
What kind of outrageous power is this?
If this kind of power were to become widespread, wouldn't it be able to destroy the demon world at every turn?
Lin Bai felt a chill on his back.
But as Chu Xi said just now, let alone the fifth-grade Taoism, even the second-grade Taoism is hard to come by.
According to what Chu Xi said, the detailed levels of Taoism should be divided into: rudimentary Taoism, first-grade Taoism, second-grade Taoism, third-grade Taoism... until the ninth-grade Taoism is the ultimate.
The prototype of Taoism is the Taoism that was just created by those powerful people with extraordinary talents.
When a Taoism is created, it is bound to be imperfect, and there will be many loopholes and flaws, and it will take a lot of effort to make up for the imperfections.
Many strong people have spent their whole lives working hard to create a Tao method in front of them, and there is no way to check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps.
Therefore, this task needs to be left to the younger generation of disciples.
It usually takes several generations of warriors to practice and check for deficiencies to make the Tao Dharma complete.
After the Taoism reaches its initial completeness, it can reach the level of the first-grade Taoism.
Then the warriors go to study and practice. On the basis of the original Tao method, they check for deficiencies and fill in the gaps, refine and sublimate it, and learn from each other's strong points to make up for the shortcomings. Only then can the first-grade Tao method reach the level of the second-grade Tao method.
The "Qinglian Sword Intention" of the third stage of "Qinglian Sword Technique" that Lin Bai understood has vague power at the first-level Taoist level.
The "Killing Sword Intention" practiced by Chen Yule should also belong to the Taoist level.
As Lin Bai and Chen Yule continue to understand these two sword intentions and continue to refine and sublimate them, perhaps one day these two sword intentions will be able to obtain second-level Taoism, third-level Taoism, or even higher levels.
However, Lin Bai's self-created "One Sword to Kill Immortals" and "Swallowing the Sky Dao Domain" are still some distance away from the level of Taoism!
Lin Bai's eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his brows with joy, and asked: "Am I now the Holy Son of Tianshui Sect? In other words, am I qualified to comprehend the eighty-one Taoist methods in "Tianshui Divine Art"?"
Chu Xi curled her lips and said, "Don't you look down on first-level Taoism?"
Lin Bai smiled bitterly and said: "I didn't know just now that Taoism is hard to come by. Only after listening to the sect master's detailed explanation did I realize that Taoism is so precious!"
Chu Xi didn't want to waste any more words with Lin Bai, so he explained decisively: "As the holy son of Tianshui Sect, you have also said in Huagu before that the relationship between you and Tianshui Sect is just a transaction."
"In the transaction, there was no mention of teaching you the inheritance of Tianshui Sect!"
Hearing this, Lin Bai felt a chill in his heart. He would have included this clause in the deal if he had known it.
Chu Xi said: "But... no matter what, you are the holy son of Tianshui Sect. In the future, you will inevitably have to represent Tianshui Sect to deal with warriors all over the Chu Kingdom. If you don't know any of the Tianshui Sect's Taoist traditions, how can you inherit them?"
You’ll make people laugh when you go out!”
"So, as an extravagant act of kindness, our sect leader allows you to choose one of the nine swordsmanship methods in the "Tianshui Divine Art" to practice!"
While speaking, Chu Xi raised his hand and waved. In the boundless dark sea ahead, winds and clouds surged, waves surged into the sky, and nine dark stone tablets emerged from the water. The words on them were all black.
"Go and see for yourself!"
Chu Xi said.
Lin Bai bowed his hands and walked out from the cliff, walking in the void with every step, until he came to the nine stone tablets.
Under Lin Bai's feet was a turbulent black tide. When he went to erect these nine stone tablets, he could only vaguely see the words on the stone tablets when he was three steps away from the stone tablets!
Moreover, when Lin Bai walked into the stone monument, a sword intent burst out from the stone monument, heading straight towards Lin Bai.
If Lin Bai hadn't mastered swordsmanship and possessed the power of the sword heart, anyone else would have been directly obliterated by this sword intention!
Lin Bai stood in front of the stone tablet, composed himself, and the power of the sword's heart circulated, allowing Lin Bai to clearly see the words on the nine stone tablets.
Looking at the Taoist teachings on the nine stone tablets one by one, they are "Nine Swords of Refining the Heart", "Jingxian Sword Power", "Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sea", "Fu Yun", "Reclamation of the Sea", "Xiaoyao", "Nine Transformations of Swords" and "Impermanence".
Ghost Sword" and "Moon Burning Sword Technique".
The power of these nine first-grade Taoist techniques is not divided into strong or weak ones.
Lin Bai patiently looked at them one by one, but because Chu Xi only allowed Lin Bai to practice one Taoist method, Lin Bai could only see a few words and could not get the practice experience and essential outlines of these Taoist methods.
"Have you made your choice? Let me know when you have made your choice!"
Chu Xi asked with a smile.
Lin Bai smiled bitterly and said: "I can only see a few words about each Taoism. How do you want me to choose?"
Chu Xi smiled and said: "Can't you just find one you think you are compatible with? Anyway, these nine kinds of Taoism are all about the same power and strength."
Lin Bai ignored Chu Xi, and based on the few words he could see, he carefully searched for the one that suited him among the nine swordsmanship and Taoism.
Chu Xi waited on the cliff for a long time. She was a little impatient and said, "Oh, mother-in-law, please hurry up!"
Lin Bai took a deep breath, pointed at a stone tablet and said, "I choose this!"
Chu Xi took one look at it, frowned immediately, and asked: "Lin Bai, Lin Bai, you really don't know what to say about you? Nine divine passages were placed in front of you, and you just picked the most difficult one.
