The conception of “liandu rites” is close to the theories of transcending the inner self and saving others, which respectively represents the inner alchemy rites and rituals. Only by the effect of synchronicity does the passage that connecting the inner self and outer others form. Via the passage, which is called Axis between heaven and earth, the Taoist priests travel “space (the perpfected)” and accomplish the oneness of heaven and humanity. As for the research on synchronicity, the methodology is based on “Tao Chung Chih Tao (inner alchemy rites)”, “Tao Chung Chih Fa (inner alchemy rites and rituals are synchronous)” and “Fa Chung Chih Fa (rituals)”. The research is to systematically interpret the synchronous of the inner alchemy rites and rituals, the concept of “liandu rites.” This research also discusses the critique, which says” Nine hells are in inner self. Without breaking through, how one breaks through the hells, which is just the play of drawing. If one can break by oneself, why worry about hells?”, on the Taoists priests’ liandu rites in Shangqing Lingbao Dafa. Key words: liandu rites, synchronicity, Axis between heaven and earth, travel “space (the perpfected)”, Tao Chung Chih Tao (inner alchemy rites), Tao Chung Chih Fa (inner alchemy rites and rituals are synchronous), Fa Chung Chih Fa (rituals),
