"Innate Qi is already supremely refined and pure, yet your Magic Door surpasses it in purity, considered the finest in the world. Furthermore, it emphasizes form and substance; if achieved..."
The Primordial Lord Rain Master estimated the future prospects and realized that her Daoist understanding was insufficient to comprehend the Taixu Tao clearly, yet one thing was certain.
This method, once successful, would be detrimental to Jiang Li's Qi Dao.
Taiji gives rise to all things, and Taixu is supremely refined and pure, as primordial material. Although it has no fixed body and can be freely molded and changed, in essence, it leans towards form and substance, essentially the material aspect, and in terms of transformation, it cannot match Taiji.
If Jiang Li metamorphoses this Dao, it would undoubtedly shift to a new path, which the Primordial Lord Rain Master considers might not necessarily be good.
"Indeed, Taixu Tao differs from Taiji, yet fundamentally, they are one; beyond Taixu lies Taiji."
Jiang Li concentrated and operated, only to see the blurred hand gradually become clear, with the Three Elements of Essence, Qi, and Spirit evolving anew. In a few breaths, the hand transformed from coded to uncoded.
Taixu evolves into Taiji, Taiji gives rise to all things; fundamentally, both are Qi, or more metaphysically, can be termed as Dao. The transformation of Dao at different stages is represented by Taixu and Taiji.
The two actually have no superiority or inferiority, if one focuses solely on cultivating one, their prowess at the same Realm should be quite comparable.
However, if one masters both Taixu and Taiji, comprehending their evolution, grasping the mysteries of both stages, it is a different story. Cultivating solely one is cultivating Taixu or Taiji, while passing through Taiji, Taixu, encompassing Tai Shi, Tai Chu, Taiyi, one cultivates the fundamental "Dao".
Rain Master watched Jiang Li's hand transformation, clearly understanding Jiang Li's intent, and couldn't help but remark: "Fellow Daoist, your ambition is truly great."
"Primordial Lord might as well directly call me greedy," Jiang Li responded with a laugh, "But cultivation itself is greedy, if one can strive for the highest, who would settle for less."
"People must have dreams; cultivation even more so."
Jiang Li had the conditions, naturally aiming for the highest, otherwise, he wouldn't need to painstakingly integrate the Three Tombs and pursue the powerful Dao Fruit.
From this perspective, what Heavenly Monarch said was indeed correct, Jiang Li and he are the same type of person.
"Dreams, huh?"
The Yinglong Dragon spread its Double Wings, its eyes carrying an inexplicable meaning. "Indeed, cultivators must have dreams."
She brought the dragon head close, the misty breath enveloping Jiang Li, "Fellow Daoist, you've come to progress from 'Form Tomb', pursuing metamorphosis, right? The achievement of 'Form Tomb' lies in transforming Divine Intent and True Qi into talismans, cultivating the dharma body, and your Taixu Tao also emphasizes form and substance. In this Dao, my proficiency currently surpasses Tianxuan's. Hence, Fellow Daoist seeks my assistance in your cultivation."
The dragon head gradually approached, four eyes meeting, Jiang Li could read a certain intent from them.
To explore 'Form Tomb', the quickest path is naturally to start with form; simply put, it involves starting with the body.
In past eras, the Yellow Emperor grasped the body of the God Demon, dissecting its secrets to transform it into various phases. After defeating Chi You, he comprehended the Chi You Phase through its remains, achieving success.
Now, Jiang Li wants Rain Master to assist, naturally starting with the best and quickest approach.
The process is a bit hard to articulate.
Jiang Li strongly questions whether the tales of the Emperor's concubines numbering in the thousands originated from this. As an emperor, he couldn't be dissecting corpses every day, could he?
And if researching the living, studying only males daily wouldn't work either, eventually, the only choice was to focus on women. An emperor having concubines isn't unusual, is it?
Even those rumored secret bedroom techniques circulating might be side products of pioneering the 'Form Tomb', or a way to learn about others' Magic Doors.
Jiang Li thought about it and suddenly found the logic made sense. He himself had practiced one of those bedroom secret techniques and knew firsthand their astonishing effectiveness. Now that he connected the Bending Flower Hand with the 'Form Tomb', he felt a moment of enlightenment.
It's fair to say the Yellow Emperor committed greatly for the sake of cultivation.
'It's all for cultivation.'
Jiang Li sighed softly in his heart, looked towards Rain Master, and said, "I will assist Primordial Lord in completing the metamorphosis soon."
Seeing the Primordial Lord Rain Master's expression, he instantly knew she was craving his Innate Qi again.
The huge bodies of Devil Cultivators weren't grown from nothing; they were nourished. Before the End of Dharma, Devil Cultivators absorbed Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy; now they use treasure medicine for sustenance.
If too poor to afford herbs, the simplest method is — eating meat.
Extracting essence energy from flesh to support the body. And for Devil Cultivators, the best flesh naturally comes from cultivators, as no true demon kind exists in today's world, so the only alternative is human flesh.
The dragon species may not bear the demon name, but seriously speaking, they belong to demon kind; as a Dragon God, Yinglong has significant needs in this aspect, hence seeking Jiang Li's assistance.
Jiang Li's continuous supply of Innate Qi, capable of converting all the medicinal efficacy he knows, is more effective than any treasure medicine. Now, as Rain Master's Yinglong True Body grows stronger, the demand increases accordingly; it's no longer enough to extract some Primordial Qi occasionally, needing constant supply instead.
Simply put, True Qi Dual Cultivation is required again.
Though previously stated it would happen only once, during Rain Master's ascension, exceptions were already made; doing so again wouldn't hurt.
Jiang Li acted promptly, cupping Yinglong's head with both hands, channeling the Innate Qi into her body.
