Chapter 200: Chapter 179: Jiayin Tai Sui, Zhang Gong, Courtesy Name Yellow Heaven!

Cultivating Heart into God.

The core principle was to first nourish one’s heart and spirit with the powerful True Qi within the body. Then, once the heart and spirit grew strong enough, one could manifest the image of a Divine Spirit through visualization within their sea of consciousness.

Following the "Qi Replenishing Heart" method from the Yellow Heaven Dao Technique, Chen Sha quickly used his sixty years of Power to nourish a robust Heart Qi within his body.

However, when he attempted visualization, he found that no matter how hard he tried, the resulting figures were always rigid. Like trees without roots, people born from nothingness always lacked intricate details and a genuine sense of Divine Will.

"Do I have to visualize myself?" Chen Sha was forced to stop. Standing by the lake with his hands clasped behind his back, he pondered. "If I use myself as the object of visualization, I’ll definitely be able to manifest the most complete version of myself. But the most strictly forbidden thing in the Great Yellow Court’s Divine Spirit cultivation method is treating oneself as a god."

Those who cultivated the Great Yellow Court needed to maintain a state of mind where they viewed themselves as the "Dao." In their eyes, gods were merely tools—an external force used to protect themselves as Dharma Protectors, mere subordinates. Therefore, if a cultivator of the Great Yellow Court considered themselves to be a specific god, they would fall into an inferior path.

The correct Heart Method should be: my heart gives birth to gods, the gods worship me, and I rule over all gods. These gods could originate from oneself, but they could not be the entirety of oneself.

As the saying went, the Dao gave birth to One, One to Two, Two to Three, and All Things Arise from the Three. Cultivators of the Great Yellow Court had to see themselves as the Dao, birthing a myriad of gods to perfect all things and unify them as one.

This required immense creativity. To conjure a non-existent Divine Spirit out of the empty void, the spirit had to be lifelike and possess enough Divine Will. Only then could it truly exist in the sea of consciousness without dissipating. Otherwise, without sufficient Divine Will and Heart Qi to sustain it, the so-called image would be nothing more than a fleeting thought of an ordinary person.

Gradually, Chen Sha began to wonder how he had successfully cultivated the twenty-fifth Guardian God, the "Jiazi Tai Sui" Wang Ren, during his breakthrough to the Broken Void. Perhaps he could draw some inspiration from that experience.

Thinking carefully, the reason seemed quite simple. He possessed the complete Visualization Image and cultivation method for the "Jiazi Tai Sui Spirit" passed down by Ancestor Master Fuyao. From the day he received it, the image had already existed in his mind.

Thus, during his fierce battle with Yuan Ruhua, as his Cultivation reached a certain limit amid the restoration of the Heaven and Earth Rules, he naturally birthed this "Tai Sui Spirit" from his heart upon entering the Broken Void Realm.

Chen Sha muttered to himself, "The more Tai Sui Spirits I have, the stronger my Spiritual Power is. If I can cultivate the Six Ding and Six Jia Gods, along with the Four Tai Sui—twenty Guardian Gods in total—within my spiritual sea of consciousness, my Spiritual Power will reach a level comparable to a Broken Great Vajra.

"However, without Ancestor Master Fuyao’s Visualization Image to provide the exact posture and expression of the Divine Spirit, trying to conjure a god with true Divine Will out of thin air is nothing but empty armchair strategy. It would be best if I had a character image suitable to serve as a template for one of the ’Six Ding and Six Jia’ Gods. I could use it as a foundation. By refining the image and achieving a fusion of this person’s Divine Will, the resulting Divine Spirit wouldn’t be entirely fabricated from nothing. It would possess far more Divine Will."

At this thought, Chen Sha felt a sudden sense of enlightenment, and his train of thought rapidly expanded. "Therefore, the person acting as the template must be immensely powerful and possess an imposing aura of their own. A ’Six Ding and Six Jia God’ created on such a foundation would be far more vivid and formidable, truly worthy of the title ’Guardian God’."

Without hesitation, Chen Sha looked up at the temple suspended in mid-air above Dao Yi Mountain, where Zhang Gong resided. His eyes lit up. "This legend of the Daoist Sect practiced the Yellow Heaven Dao Technique and regarded himself as the Emperor Heaven Ancestor. He naturally carries a unique Divine Will. Wouldn’t he be the perfect model for my Guardian God?"

This was especially true considering the speed at which his temple materialized. Even among those at the Broken Great Vajra Level, he was likely one of the most powerful individuals. Using his image as a template for fusion to create a "Tai Sui Spirit" certainly wouldn’t be an inferior choice.

The temple was right here; the person was readily available. Furthermore, through the Southern Heavenly Gate, Chen Sha could enter a trial scene where the figure was identical to his real-world counterpart. He could directly experience his personality, traits, and posture. It was simply the most perfect subject to copy for "Cultivating Heart into God."

With his mind made up, Chen Sha took action. "Since I’m going to copy him, it’s best to capture his image at his absolute peak—which would undoubtedly be Zhang Gong’s posture during his time as a Broken Great Vajra."

Immediately, Chen Sha stepped through the Southern Heavenly Gate in his mind. Having already cleared the first two stages, he had just reached Zhang Gong’s third Chapter: "Broken Sky Yellow Mountain."

"Enter Zhang Gong’s third Chapter...?"

"Enter!"

BOOM!

After stepping into this third Chapter, Chen Sha looked around and realized that the once-peaceful Heavenly Yellow Mountain was currently engulfed in the flames of war.

Having experienced the stories of the previous two Chapters, he instantly understood what was happening. As it turned out, Zhang Gong’s story began in the first Chapter when he was hunted down by Huangfu Yun at the Heavenly Yellow Mountain. Wanted by the ruling Dynasty’s Government Office of that era, he had hidden in the Heavenly Yellow Mountain and unexpectedly acquired both volumes of the Yellow Heaven Dao Technique in a remote cave.
