Chapter 217: The Fog Clears
Upon stepping onto the first layer of Jade Stage after entering Xuanmen, one wears the "Ziyi." This was the formal attire for officials to enter the court in ancient times, and the Taoists also liked to call it "Feather Clothes" or "Xia Clothes," which all carry the same meaning. It signifies shedding the mundane garments that hinder one's perception, experiencing a transformation in senses, and immersing oneself in the Heavenly Earthly Mysterious Spirit, no longer relying on the faint inspiration of the spirit, but commanding it as readily as True Qi. The range of this mastery extends roughly twenty to thirty zhang.
