Five days in heaven and five years on earth.
In the Celestial Palace, the blue Celestial Dao power shrouded and lingered, as if you were in heaven, surrounded by traces of time.
Chen Dengming devoted himself to cultivation for five years. In the first year, he could still remain calm, have a stable state of mind, and concentrate on cultivation.
By the second year, he was already feeling a little uncomfortable. He felt like a picturesque prison, shackling himself in a small frame and fading out of the bird. In addition to practicing the Longevity Kung Fu, he could only practice other techniques every day.
He secretly cursed the martial arts and fairy tale authors he read in his previous life for being dreamers.
Just sitting here on a third of an acre of land practicing day after day, saying that a period of time passes without realizing it, without feeling anything, is all bullshit.
Time is the most consuming and testing thing.
Even if your physique is strong now, you won't get hemorrhoids after sitting for more than ten years, and you don't need to worry about eating, drinking, and defecation. You only need to focus on cultivation, but after all, it is impossible to keep your mind in a state of dreaming and sleeping, and you still have to think.
No matter how focused you are, you will feel bored and aware of the difficulty of time when you wake up occasionally.
When he also broke through the golden elixir, he had the experience of practicing behind closed doors for several years.
But it is not limited to a small area of uninhabited land with a radius of several feet. It is located in the mountain gate. You can walk around, interact with the senior sisters from time to time to cultivate, cultivate your sentiments, and watch the little formation spirits dance, which is a boring pastime.
Now, he can only practice in the Tianxian Palace alone, and he doesn't even dare to summon the small formation spirits in the Soul Room.
After all, the little formation spirit does not have the power of a heavenly immortal, so it is difficult to guarantee that life span will not be deprived in an environment where time has left traces.
"So, the reason why people are human is that they are alive, their thoughts are alive, and their emotions are alive. A living person will not be suffocated to death by urine, and it is difficult for a living person to confine more than ten or twenty people in one place. Only do one thing every year.
I used to think that the first ancestor only gave me five years, which was too little. After all, I was superficial and overestimated my abilities. If I gave it a hundred years, people might go crazy. "
"But as long as you persevere and succeed, you will definitely become something great. It proves that you are persevering and can withstand loneliness. A master is lonely."
Chen Dengming considers himself not a master, but an ordinary person in his previous life.
After traveling through time, I experienced a lot more, and all aspects of my character, including my character, were gradually honed to become a master.
But in fact, looking back on the past, he was just an ordinary time traveler.
Perhaps like most other time-travelers, his character is not strong. He is afraid of death, loneliness, starvation, and being captured and studied by the natives and tortured. That is the most real state of time-travel.
In this kind of introspection and aftertaste, Chen Dengming gradually felt that he had benefited a lot, and his state of mind seemed to be more condensed and clear.
In the third and fourth years, he was in a stable state of mind.
Using states of mind such as the Zao Wang Tao and the Bowl of Water Method, you can let your impetuous emotions fade away into an ethereal state, or settle down like impurities in a bowl of water.
Fast forward to the fifth year, when the blue heavenly power around him dissipated, Chen Dengming calmly woke up from the state of concentrating on cultivation.
At this moment, he felt neither joy nor sorrow, nor did he feel confused because of the passage of time and the long five years. Instead, his brain was particularly clear and his mind was particularly clear.
At this time, he knew that the state of mind that he wanted to obtain but could not obtain five years ago had now improved.
Time and years are really things that sharpen one’s character.
If a person is not afraid of being the enemy of time, not afraid of the passage of time, and can endure loneliness, his character will definitely be stable and stable.
After practicing for five years now, the Longevity Skill has already broken through the second level and reached the proficiency level of more than 70,000 at the third level. It only takes more than three years of practice to break through the third level and enter the middle stage of the golden elixir.
However, at this time, he only felt that the gains from improving his state of mind again were more valuable than improving his cultivation.
"Daozi, you are very good. In the past five years, you have not slacked off for a day and have been practicing unremittingly.
With such a character and such a calm mind, it is no wonder that you can still receive the inheritance of the heart of the human and immortal Taoism."
Suddenly, at this moment, the great voice of the First Ancestor rang down from the air and echoed in the hall.
Chen Dengming raised his head and looked at the face of the first ancestor emerging from the dome, and immediately bowed.
"Disciple, thank you Master for granting me these five years of cultivation time."
The outline of the First Ancestor's face was always cold and calm, and he heard the words at this moment.
"No need to be grateful, it is your heart that defeats time and uses time, rather than you being used by time.
There are many people, even if they are given a long time, they will only waste their time and become a slave of time. Such people are destined to be unable to realize immortality.
Since we monks of the longevity sect want to pursue longevity, we cannot waste our time just because we live long.
Ignoring time means ignoring your own pursuits, and eventually you will gradually lose yourself. These five years should be extremely precious to you. "
Chen Dengming felt deeply touched, and immediately bowed deeply, "Disciple, learn from me!"
Indeed, time is the most paralyzing thing. If you are not careful, it will slip away quietly.
In previous lives, many people spent the whole day playing games on their phones and just passed by without doing anything, lamenting how quickly time passed.
In this life, even many cultivators are like this. They keep saying that they must practice hard, but as a result, they are a little lazy during the practice, and the day passes. If they relax day by day, it will be difficult to achieve great achievements in the end.
Chen Dengming realized that 'knowing time' might be the first instruction given to him after the first ancestor met.
This is indeed a very meaningful pointer.
The monks of the longevity sect pursue longevity, which is to compete for unlimited time with limited lives.
Especially if a Taoist like him comes into contact with the Celestial Immortal Shou Dao, he will inevitably have to deal with the traces of time in the future.
If you cannot clearly understand time and use it, it will be difficult to access the deepest secrets of longevity.
The first ancestor said, "You once mentioned to Yan Yan that you want to absorb more Tao power in the land of Taoism and understand the use of heavenly Tao power. Now that your state of mind has improved, you can try again.
But before you break through the middle stage of the Golden Elixir, you only have this one chance, and your power is limited and cannot be provided to you continuously. "
"Thank you, First Ancestor, for making it possible!"
Chen Dengming hurriedly bowed and thanked him, which was very understanding.
Resources are limited. Counting the four ancestors of the longevity sect and Xing Huiguang, plus him, there are six people who need to absorb Tao power and use it to practice.
If he absorbs more, the other five will absorb less.
The Shoudao Taoism is originally a branch of the Celestial Taoism, and it is impossible to have infinite power if you obtain the immortal Taoism. That is to say, the Tao of the longevity sect is the Tao of Heaven. It pays attention to the excess of damages and the deficiencies. Otherwise, even if it is a Taoist, it will not be so easy for him to continue to absorb it. Daoli.
Immediately he sat cross-legged in the center of the palace, trying to absorb more heavenly power.
Theoretically speaking, if he wants to absorb more heavenly power, his strength must break through to the middle stage of the Golden Core again.
But now that my state of mind has improved, my understanding of the power of immortals has also been significantly deepened, and I can now try to absorb more of the power of immortals.
Another half day later.
Chen Dengming successfully absorbed some Celestial Dao Power, and it is estimated that the amount of Celestial Dao Power has increased by about 30%.
This means that when he uses his clairvoyance in the future, the scope of detection, duration, etc. will also be increased accordingly.
With this harvest, he was very satisfied.
Then he cut off some of his distractions and allowed the First Ancestor to light a longevity incense for him with the power of the Celestial Immortal. The main incense stood in the incense burner outside the Celestial Immortal Hall, rising in the air.
This is the incense condensing the divine bones, and the green smoke protecting the soul.
Chen Dengming suddenly felt that his mind seemed to have an inseparable connection with Changshou Xiang, as if he had condensed an extra clone, and even fought against Shui Fuyi.
With this longevity incense, even if his physical body is destroyed in the future, his soul can quickly return to the longevity incense through contact, and his soul will not be scattered or taken away by others.
Moreover, in addition to the longevity incense, he also prepared the 'Rebirth Pill' that can reshape the physical body, which has protected both the spiritual and physical aspects to the extreme.
At this point, Chen Dengming came to the land of Taoism to meet the first ancestor, which was a huge harvest and made a lot of money.
When he was about to leave, a top-secret jade slip recording the address information of blessed places collected by the longevity sect outside the four regions for thousands of years was entrusted to Chen Dengming from the first ancestor.
This can also be regarded as the inheritance of a mission.
After Chen Dengming got the jade slip, he did not check it immediately. He respectfully bid farewell to his first ancestor and left the place of Taoism.
Outside the land of orthodoxy, his sense of the clone has become much stronger.
I vaguely sensed that my clone encountered trouble while exploring the secret passage in the Fallen Jedi.
A ghost at the level of a ghost general was lingering on their path.
The clone teamed up with Zhu Xun, who had broken through to the fake elixir level after swallowing the ghost of a golden elixir, but was no match for the ghost general and could only barely survive.
As a result, the process of exploring the secret path of the sect was put on hold.
"When I came out of seclusion for five days, my clone showed me the progress.
However, a strong man at the level of a ghost general is indeed a trouble. If I don't go there myself, the clone and Lao Zhu won't be able to remove this roadblock. "
Chen Dengming weighed it carefully and found nothing.
Yes, everything must be done personally.
Now that the benefits given by the sect are enough, the things assigned to me must be done properly and beautifully, and I must go there in person.
He felt a lot of elixir power in his body, and he felt very excited. When he returned to the cave, he felt even more excited, thinking of his senior sister.
For a moment, I felt that I had not seen him for five days. It felt like five springs and autumns had passed. In fact, it was indeed five springs and autumns. I missed him very much.
He took out the mirror and looked at his current appearance.
He hasn't shaved in five days, so he looks unshaven, but the senior sister won't mind it.
He used his clairvoyance again and saw the graceful and graceful back of He Yingyu who was feeding the spiritual fish. He hadn't seen her for five days and had already developed black silk, which made him angry.
"Senior Sister, your movements are really fast!"
Chen Dengming had bad intentions, so he quietly flew into the cave and suddenly picked up He Yingyu from behind.
He Yingyu let out a frightened sound, and immediately made a gesture to resist. When she noticed the familiar aura, she relaxed and turned around and glanced fiercely, "You damn ghost! You scared me!"
How can you play with your wife like this? Let me down quickly. "
"Don't let go! I haven't hugged you enough yet. I went to the land of orthodoxy and stayed there for five days. I almost want to die."
Chen Dengming laughed and refused to let go.
He Yingyu Xia Fei's cheeks were full of laughter, and he said coquettishly, "Why have you learned to speak glibly now? If you haven't seen me for just five days, you will say that you want to die."
Chen Dengming sighed lowly, "Senior sister, you don't know something. How did I get here these five days?"
He immediately informed He Yingyu of what happened in the Taoist land.
Hearing this, He Yingyu was surprised, happy and pitiful, and hurriedly stroked Chen Dengming's prickly beard to comfort him.
"Okay, okay, now you are getting an advantage and still behave yourself. Others want to have such an opportunity, but they don't have it. This is because the First Ancestor values you."
Chen Dengming smiled and said, "Then when I become an ancestor in the future, I will let you take advantage of it. Now it's time for you to let me take advantage."
He Yingyu suddenly exclaimed, trembled, blushed with embarrassment, and her eyes were filled with mist. She begged in Chen Deng's ear, "Junior brother, please raise your hands and let me go."
"This spiritual fish has been fattened by you. Why don't you fatten me up, junior brother?"
"You started out raising fish back then. You kept your original intention in raising spiritual fish. It doesn't matter if I raise you. You still want to eat soft rice."
Chen Dengming laughed. At this time, his primitive impulse continued unabated, but his mental state was as if the clouds had been cleared away, without a trace of vulgar thoughts.
This combination of contradictions is where all aspects of mind and desire are stabilized and released.
Don't forcefully suppress it, because it is better to clear it than to block it.
Don't be arrogant deliberately, because indulgence may be dangerous in the end.
Don't avoid it, because any kind of escape is not as good as experiencing it yourself and getting the experience of being refined by gold and fire.
He is like flying a kite, his mind is the string, and his desires are like a kite flying in the sky.
The two people's voices gradually disappeared deep into the cave, and soon they went to Wushan to practice together.
afterwards.
at night.
The moon and stars are sparse.
The armor and sword that Elder Ge had re-refined were sent to Chen Dengming's cave.
This armor and sword were tailor-made for Chen Dengming after being more optimized on the basis of the demon soldiers, so that they can maximize his strength in the human-immortal Taoist state.
The re-refined armor has a dark and cold texture, with smooth lines, and complex formations are engraved on the surface, including [Light Body], [Breaking Wind], [Restore] and other formations. During battle, the joints are There are also multiple spikes that can extend out, which is quite ferocious. The most important thing is that it wears a helmet.
These newly added formations all have various formation functions that were not previously available in the demon soldier's armor.
Lightweight can make the wearer, including the armor, feel as light as a swallow and increase the speed of movement, but it will not affect its own mass and weight, and will not cause impact damage or weakening.
Breaking the wind will weaken and reduce the wind resistance, so that people will not reduce their flying speed while flying wearing bulky armor.
The principle of restoration is that after the damaged parts of the armor, including the magic circle on the armor, can be repaired by themselves using some materials.
After Chen Dengming put on the armor, he felt that his whole body was slightly heavier, carrying at least 300 kilograms more weight.
This weight is no different from the previous demon soldier armor, it has little impact on him, and can even help increase some impact damage.
However, after he sent a trace of elixir power into it, the armor soon glowed with aura, and its weight was reduced a lot.
With a slight thought, the spikes extending from the joints also shrank in.
After thinking about it for a moment, the armor began to shrink, gradually becoming a tight-fitting state that hugged the body.
"That's right. You can wear it like this in life, and when fighting, you can return it to the armor fighting state by sending spiritual energy."
Chen Dengming knocked on the armor he was wearing, making a clang sound.
But it moves very freely and makes no sound. The aura will make the armor in the casual state soft and silky, and it will only become extra hard when it is attacked.
In addition to the armor, the newly crafted sword made from the hurricane battle ax is also sharper.
The entire knife seemed to be only seven feet long, and the blade was very wide. The shape was somewhat similar to the protagonist's weapon in a canine comic that Chen Dengming had read in his previous life, like a large pig-killing knife.
After activating the spiritual energy, the blade can be enlarged to more than two feet long without any magic circle.
However, because the material itself is made of hurricane cold gold, when the sword is swung, it has strong hurricane sword energy and power, and its lethality is considerable.
These two former demon weapon magic weapons have been re-refined and are more suitable for Chen Dengming's use. Although they are still not the top level three magic weapons, they are not much different.
"This armor can shrink as you wish, and the weight can be adjusted as you wish. Let's call it the Ruyi Treasure Armor."
"The knife is called the Hurricane Knife!"
After Chen Dengming got familiar with the magic weapon for a while, he put on a cyan armored wood robe over the Ruyi armor, put away the hurricane sword, and looked at the cave behind him.
Between the seals, three new clones were easily condensed.
After his state of mind has improved, it will obviously be much easier to use the power of the immortal to form a clone.
Chen Dengming felt that he still had some energy left and should be able to condense a fifth clone.
However, he has always had reservations, so this is the end of the matter.
"I don't know how long the new avatar condensed now can last. You can try it now."
Chen Dengming has made plans. Now he will personally go to the Fallen Jedi to deal with the ghost general blocking the way.
The three clones stayed in the cave to practice.
Now the situation is completely reversed, the avatar is practicing while the main body is traveling far away.
Even if the efficiency of the clone's cultivation is only 30% as good as that of the original one, it is still much better than practicing in a favorable location without having a fourth-level spiritual vein at all.
Chen Dengming had already greeted He Yingyu before, and now he did not want to disturb He Yingyu who was resting after hard work. He ordered the three clones to enter the house to practice guarding, while he changed his appearance and went out in a low profile.
Nowadays, war is raging outside the mountain gate, and even the Eastern Territory may not be safe. Chen Dengming decided to keep a low profile this time when he went out. Baimao could not afford to be known as such an arrogant person.
