Luo Kai was very interested in this Taoist secret. The so-called techniques and treasures were secondary. The key was that it might allow him to deepen his understanding of Taoism. It would be even better if he could discover the way to program it.
For example, the secret technique of Thunder Palm was actually a manifestation of a program. Originally, ordinary humans could only exert the power of energy by attuning to a certain natural energy. However, the Thunder Palm was different. It did not require attuning to energy. It completely created pure energy through its own unique programming method.
Everything returned to one. Anything that was studied to the extreme would be pointed directly to its essence.
Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the sun and the moon alternated, and the galaxy rotated. Everything in the universe operated according to a fixed program. This was the Heavenly Axiom.
In a sense, the Heavenly Axiom was a program. If one wanted to write a program, one must first have a programming language. Taoism and Buddhism obviously had their own different programming languages. They used Taoism to describe the world's laws and the essence of things.
"Master, the Celestial Master Taoism has been staying in the small world to find the Taoist secret technique."
Ah Zhu crawled on the ground and replied timidly. At the same time, she split a shadow and seeped into the ground. She thought she was hiding, but in fact, she could not escape from Luo Kai's vision. He just didn't care.
The doppelganger technique that Ah Zhu used earlier was a bit similar to the spiritual soul splitting. It could split into countless doppelgangers. Each doppelganger was formed by consciousness, and each doppelganger was the original body. As long as the main consciousness was not dead, all the doppelgangers could be infinitely recombined.
To break this ability, one could only kill all her doppelgangers in an instant or find the main consciousness. However, the waves emitted by the main consciousness were almost the same as the doppelganger's consciousness. It was extremely difficult to distinguish.
Having this ability was indeed very powerful. Perhaps even a human Sage would find it difficult to deal with it. However, for Luo Kai, who had a four-dimensional vision, the two of them were not on the same level at all. Any psychedelic spell or conspiracy would be useless.
It was like a character in a game. There were no secrets at all to the controller outside the game.
At the thought of this, Luo Kai's heart suddenly jolted. He had given up on his body and tried to avoid the attention of the unknown existence by using the method of astral projection. Wasn't this incomparably laughable for a high-level life form that had transcended the material world?
He had to hurry to the underworld. The world was big, the macroscopic and the microscopic. There would always be a place to hide.
What he needed now was time to write a special program to carry his soul.
In reality, it was to create a cultivation method suitable for the soul. The evolution of life was endless, and things were also eternal. As long as one was given time, they would definitely be able to break away from the control of heaven and earth, jump out of the three realms, break free from the five elements, and completely transcend the present universe.
Azhu said cautiously, "Master, it's not a good time to go to the underworld now. The crack of the abyss has not been fully opened yet. There is a space-time vortex at the junction of the two worlds. Even powerful ghosts and gods can get lost if they are not careful."
Luo Kai asked, "Do you know a lot about the underworld?"
Azhu immediately understood her role and replied flatteringly, "I've been there once with the Ghost Mother. The underworld has always been in a state of collapse, and its resources are scarce. It's not as good as the world of the living. Master, why don't we not go there? I'm willing to be your ghost servant. I'm proficient in countless ghost secret arts. As long as Master is willing, I can create an army of ghosts in the world of the living at any time to help you achieve great things.
Luo Kai interrupted impatiently, "Why don't you tell me more about the underworld?"
"Yes."
Ah-Zhu was shocked. She crouched on the ground and said softly, "There are no stars in the underworld. The regions are divided by 'realms'. Between realms is an endless distorted void. There are a few largest realms. The living beings of the Hungry Ghost Realm mainly live in the Dark Realm. The species of the races are extremely complicated and their numbers are boundless.
The place where the Ghost Mother lives is called the Prison Realm. It is said that it was a place used by the ancient gods to imprison criminals. Later on, the ancient gods suddenly disappeared, and the Prison Realm was ruled by a few powerful ghosts and gods. The Ghost Mother is the servant of one of them. One time, she accidentally made a big mistake. In order to escape, she risked crossing the gap between the two realms and came to the Small Huan World. Later on, she was recruited by the most mysterious organization in the underworld, the Pantheon Palace, and became their scout, mainly responsible for sending messages to the underworld. "
Luo Kai fell into deep thought. The laws of the two worlds were different. It was like a fish out of water. Neither side could adapt.
After a while, he asked, "Why does the underworld want to invade the world of the living?"
"It is said that there was no such thing as the Six Realms in the past. Regardless of whether it was an incorporeal body or a corporeal body, all kinds of living beings lived together. Later on, something happened and all kinds of living beings were divided into the Six Realms.
Azhu pursed her lips and continued, "The underworld is not like the world of the living. Those ghosts and gods have long wanted to return to this colorful world. Now that the gap between the two realms is getting bigger and bigger, the barrier set by the ancient gods is getting weaker and weaker. Once the barrier is gone, they will definitely sweep in. The power of the Earth Star is definitely not enough to stop them. By then, billions of living beings will probably be turned into incorporeal ghosts, and even the entire Earth Star will be dragged into the underworld."
Speaking of this, she hurriedly added, "Of course, the gods of the living are also very powerful. When the time comes, they may invade the underworld."
…
The so-called Taoist Scripture was actually hidden under the skull. It was a small ring wrapped with iron wire. It was inconspicuous and no one would pay attention to it in the cave full of rotten bones and metal.
Even Luo Kai did not notice it. However, when Azhu took out the ring, his expression changed because he had seen the style of the ring before.
"Master, this is the Taoist Scripture. It is said that it contains the powerful Taoist magic arts of the Celestial Master Taoism to deal with ghosts. Ghost Mother has studied it before, and she said that you may need to understand the essence of Taoism to unlock it."
Luo Kai took the ring and frowned, because the style of the ring was the same as the one Shui Sou asked him to give to Yun Ye.
He pondered for a moment and his mind entered the ring. His mind directly broke the protective barrier contained in the ring and saw the existence inside.
As the saying goes, Mount Sumeru contains a mustard seed, and the mustard seed contains Mount Sumeru. The Three Thousand Boundless Worlds, the sun, the moon, the stars, the rivers, and the sea all contained spirits. They entered from one pore to another.
If the essence of the microscopic world was data, this ring was a USB flash drive. It formed a miniature space under the reaction of an unknown program. It was not very big, just a small room. In the room, there was a futon, an ancient lamp, and a scripture.
As if summoned by instinct, Luo Kai opened the scripture first. A line of faintly flickering big words came into view.
"Thunder is the pivot of Yin and Yang, the foundation of commanding all things. Therefore, without thunder, there is no way to dominate the three realms. Thunder is the origin of life and death, the beginning of the universe. Because of the intersection of Yin and Yang, there is a burst of thunder. Therefore, thunder is everywhere."
Thunder was born of Yin and Yang Qi. Thunder was Yang, and thunder was Yin. The Five Thunders were Heavenly Thunder, Earth Thunder, Water Thunder, Dragon Thunder, and Community Thunder.
Heavenly Thunder was Yang, Earth Thunder was Yin, Water Thunder was Life, Dragon Thunder was Death, and Community Thunder was Heart. When Yin and Yang, life and death were united, the Five Thunders could be used!
The scripture recorded a Taoist magic art called the Five Thunders Spell. Taoism respected thunder, which was regarded as the manifestation of the will of heaven and earth. Everything in the Three Realms and Six Realms belonged to thunder.
