Chapter 490: Opening a New Path
Gu Qingyuan stretched out his hand and pointed, and hundreds of magical weapons appeared in phantom, including seals, maps, swords, umbrellas, axes, knives, guns, sticks, seals, etc., and they all fell into the hands of Lingqiao God one by one. Then he used the tools to open the sky and opened up a small cave in the Lingqiao. He also used various magic weapons to suppress the world and stabilize the newly opened small cave.

"My method is actually a trick, and it takes a lot of effort to practice," he said, "First, I use my supernatural powers to cultivate a group of soul clones, and then use magic weapons to open up the world. These soul clones will become body gods, hold the tools to suppress the world, and become the masters of a small spiritual cave heaven."

"I only need to merge these small caves to get a small world. Then, I can use my status as the Lord of the World to force my cultivation to grow. It sounds simple, but this is because these clones of mine are originally from the same source, and their magic weapons are also inherited from the same lineage. Otherwise, it will only cause the small caves to collide and annihilate each other, leaving only the world's remnants."

The Jade Emperor nodded and said, "Indeed, without your profound insights, without my guidance, without knowing the realm of cultivation first, or without such a deep foundation, this method would never be successful."

Gu Qingyuan casually wiped away the Dharmakaya model: "The solution to the problem should also be here. It depends on what you choose."

"Please explain in detail, fellow Taoist."

The Golden Emperor, who had been silent on the side, raised his hand to add more tea, then he opened his mouth to ask, her roots in this world are the essence of Taiyin, which possesses the pure essence of the Great Dao. She was born with the responsibility of supervising the female fairies of the world, and as the ancestor of the female fairies, she also has the divine duty of nurturing all things and benefiting all living beings. The Taiyin female fairy is cold in nature, but she has a kind and compassionate thought towards all creatures in the world.

Gu Qingyuan took the tea and thanked him. Two breaths flew out of his sleeves: "As the saying goes, when you are in trouble, you must change. Change will lead to success. You two should know that my entry into the world has brought about the great fortune of humanity to compete with the way of heaven. This is already a way to break the situation. Then, I borrowed the sword of the common people to break the law of cause and effect. I have broken the shackles of all living beings and postponed the catastrophe for who knows how many years."

"The rest is nothing more than promoting the destiny of humanity. With the fight between heaven and man, the way of heaven is no longer the only one in power. This situation has been broken for the most part. Even if the law of cause and effect is re-established and the rules of heaven are re-established, it will no longer be the same as before."

"This world may seem like a vast and wide world with strict rules, but in reality, a single move can affect the entire world. Even if a move at a corner doesn't result in an unbeatable outcome, it will end in a draw. This is because the laws of nature in this world are deformed and were born out of your heavenly system. You are restricted by it, and it also restricts you. Don't you see that as soon as I introduced a variable, it was defeated step by step."

He stretched out his hand, and two auras turned into two Dao seeds: "I know that you two Daoists want a proper solution. This is not difficult. The creatures in this world are limited by the Dao rules, and it is increasingly difficult to become immortals. Now it is not showing signs of decline, but the root of the disaster is deeply buried. If this continues, the energy level of the world will fall. Even if it is not the end of the Dharma, it will no longer be the glory of the immortals coming to pay homage."

"In the end, it all comes down to change. From what I've seen, all cultivators in this world follow the old ways. Even the magic weapons become more and more wonderful as they get older, and they become stronger as they age. The cultivation world is like a pool of stagnant water, and has remained the same for tens of thousands of years. Not many new methods have been born, because the predecessors have already walked the path to the end. The next generation only needs to follow the footsteps of their predecessors to reach the road to heaven."

Gu Qingyuan shook his head: "Some roads must be walked to the end, and only when they are dark can you see the end and the dawn. However, this method is not suitable for this world."

"I think this practice is useless!"

The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "You are right, fellow Daoist. Back then, there were so many people competing with me for the Dao. I also experienced life and death several times before I could build my foundation. Now, there are only a few people at the same level as me, and they are all ancient immortals and old Buddhas. There are no new faces. It's really lonely when I think about it. I even want to go out and train a qualified opponent for me."

He shook his head: "Sitting on the throne of Lingxiao for ten thousand years has worn away my energy. Perhaps that is why I asked that original self to take action and add a variable to my world."

Gu Qingyuan smiled in his heart. The arbitrary figure had been plotting for thousands of years just to cultivate a qualified opponent. What a familiar plot. If he was not careful, it would be the protagonist of the novel reflecting reality. He stretched out his hand and touched one of the Tao seeds. The Tao seed immediately absorbed the spiritual energy, gave birth to spiritual roots, and built the foundation of Tao. After that, the foundation was transformed into a golden elixir. The golden elixir was broken and the primordial infant was formed. The primordial infant merged and the primordial spirit was born.

"This first path is the path of Yuanshen cultivation. It starts with Qi training and ends with overcoming tribulations. It is divided into nine realms, and then one can ascend to heaven in broad daylight. However, this method is to cultivate the false and the real, and it also requires the help of various natural materials and treasures. It relies too much on spiritual roots and natural talents. There is a threshold at each step. After cultivation, one cannot be as good at calculating and controlling the secrets of heaven as the current practitioners. One can only know some superficial skills such as whims and warnings from heaven."

"But the path of cultivation does not rely too much on so-called luck, but only on the accumulation of spiritual energy. After achieving success, one can become an immortal with great strength and the ability to fly bricks. This is just right for this world. Fellow Taoists can turn the extra luck into divine duties and enlighten some incense-burning deities such as the City God."

The Jade Emperor took a quick glance and calculated the path system in an instant: "This method only consumes a little spiritual energy and promotes the growth of cultivation, which is not bad. In my opinion, spiritual roots are the most important thing in this path, and there are not many mortals in my world who have spiritual roots. I wonder what you think?"

"Fellow Daoist, do you know that there is something I created in the lower realm? It is a nerve worm. This worm is not a real worm. It can transform into a foundation-building pill. Even if a mortal takes it, he can achieve the foundation of Taoism and practice Taoism."

Gu Qingyuan concealed the secret of Zhang Wuji. The Jade Emperor heard it as if he was a lunatic and immediately understood the whole cause and effect.

"It turns out that fellow Daoist has already made arrangements, but..."

The Jade Emperor looked at a bunch of strange-looking, neurotic worm hosts that looked like a group of demons dancing wildly. He had also traveled far away from home to other worlds to see a different world. However, in this vast world, all things return to the same source, and although the methods of cultivation are different, the main veins are the same.

On the other hand, that psychopath practices martial arts, magic, flesh and weirdness. It is a compliment to say that he has learned the secret of Taoism. Not to mention becoming an immortal or a saint, he is not even a human being!
"The world is vast, with hundreds of boats competing for the stream. Every path can lead to transcendence, so why should we be restricted to only one path of becoming an immortal?"

Gu Qingyuan smiled slightly, feeling helpless. That bunch of psychos had completely let themselves go. If this group of monsters were placed in places like the main god's space or paradise, it would not be out of place at all. After all, the reincarnations and the like were the result of a hybrid of various cultivation systems.

But this is a world where immortals flourish, and a group of people cannot be classified into the same category based on their painting style. The side sects are at most multi-religious people like Wang Lama, the great priest of the Shaolin Temple's Wudang Mountain Office. But they are Western cartoon characters among the immortals, and their painting style is extremely unorthodox.

But Gu Qingyuan still had to cover up for them and said: "I have been through a lot of different worlds, with all kinds of sects. I set up the nerve worms as a backup, but in fact, I was still exploring new paths for the creatures in this world. After all, practice is the only criterion for testing the truth."

"This world has fertile soil for immortals. If we want to transplant systems from other worlds, we need to adapt to them now and know how to use them. Only by experimenting can we know."
