There are several levels of Taoism, and there are high and low levels. As for how strong or weak it is, it all varies from person to person.
At this time, the Taoist meaning in the fifth pattern that appeared on Chen Dengming's head was obscure and difficult to understand.
This is the first time that Chen Dengming has seen such an abnormality happening in the Human Heart Palace.
Perhaps it was because his spiritual realm had reached a certain standard that he had such a reaction in the human heart.
But what surprised him even more was this new Taoist text and meaning that he had never seen before.
The first level of the human-immortal Taoism is the unity of heaven and man. He had realized it long before he had any contact with the human-immortal Taoism.
The second level of Taoist meaning is upright and upright. Although it was understood in the process of absorbing the Taoist texts of human immortals later, this Taoist meaning was not used much.
He has also understood the third and fourth levels of Taoism and used them more.
Only this fifth level of Taoism is mysterious and unpredictable.
At this moment, as Chen Dengming was thinking, the fifth pattern above his head slowly floated down, like auspicious clouds covering the top, gradually falling into the depths of his soul, deriving various Taoist meanings.
A magnificent scene suddenly appeared in Chen Dengming's mind.
It's like dreaming back to the ancient world of immortality for a moment, where the vast land and graceful mountains are winding and circling like giant dragons.
Suddenly, a huge foot stepped forward, crossing the mountains like stepping on mud balls. The mountains shook as they walked, and smoke and dust flew everywhere.
But he saw a giant walking on the earth with his big feet open. His body passed through the clouds, and the white clouds covered his upper body.
call--
His eyes, as bright as stars, looked down at his feet and looked around at the peaks below. The tops of each peak peeked out of the clouds and mist, like hibiscus emerging from the water.
Suddenly, the giant's shining eyes seemed to have discovered something, and he let out a roar that shattered the sky. His blood boiled all over his body. The terrifying aura shocked the world and the ancient demons in the poor mountains and rivers thousands of miles away.
At this moment, bits and pieces of strange power converged on the giant, blending into each of its pores and burrowing into its flesh and blood.
The giant's size suddenly surged again, its strength doubled, its aura was astonishing, and its roar stirred up strong winds, sweeping in all directions. The demons retreated, and the evil spirits were not invaded.
However, he saw that the bits and pieces of strange power came from the tribes of villains camped in the surrounding barren mountains and rivers.
Countless little people were wearing animal skins and straw clothes, and some of the little people who had built earthen walls and city-states were wearing linen clothes. At this time, these little people were all worshiping the giants who stood upright, conveying this strange feeling. the power of.
However, I saw that in many tribes and outside the city-state, some ferocious ancient monsters that planned to devour people were frightened away by the giant's roar that shocked all directions.
"Is that the power of incense and faith?"
Chen Dengming immediately responded to the strange power of the stars.
But he soon rejected it.
"It doesn't quite look like it. There is no strong causal connection like the power of incense. Instead, it looks like a force transmitted unilaterally. It's not that simple."
Thanks to the incense clone's study of the belief power of incense, he also has a very good understanding of the belief power of incense.
At this moment, I noticed something wrong and special, and for a moment I was so absorbed in it that I became obsessed with it.
The time of practicing goes by in a blink of an eye.
In a long period like the Nascent Soul Stage, which often lasts for two thousand years, the practice time of more than ten years can really be said to be a snap of the fingers.
In the past ten years, the four regions have completely restored stability.
Many foreign evil cultivating forces that had been defeated, including the Three Saints Palace, the Heavenly Demon Sect, the Demon Kingdom, and the Heaven and Earth Sword Palace, were all expelled and huddled in the bitter cold land of the far north and the desolate area of the far west in compliance with the armistice agreement, and were not allowed to cross. Half a step into the thunder pool.
For a time, the four domains resumed rapid development.
It's just that the many immortal sects that divide resources and territory are no longer the familiar immortal sects of the past. Most of them are immortal sects that have moved in from all over the world.
Due to their outstanding performance during the war, the longevity sect and the tiandao sect still firmly occupy the top sects in the four regions, and even the longevity sect is slightly above the first line.
In the past, Shu Sword Pavilion, which was as famous as the two sects, was far behind in terms of popularity. However, it could still be regarded as one of the top sects because Lord Divine Sword Dao Lord was in charge.
In the past ten years, the longevity sect has also selected new longevity species and has developed prosperously.
He Yingyu was elected as the new longevity species with a very slight advantage.
During Chen Dengming's retreat, he came out to vote for Tan Siyan.
His vote was also a vote that exceeded most people's expectations.
In the end, Tan Siyan narrowly defeated He Yingyu in the voting process.
However, in the subsequent battle of strength, He Yingyu won the victory without any surprise with the strength of the late Jin Dan and many powerful magic weapons.
In the final stage of competition for potential, He Yingyu spent twenty years of her life practicing "The Art of Destroying Seedlings at the Detriment of Life".
But its overall longevity potential is still stronger than Tan Siyan.
The spiritual root potential is slightly inferior to Tan Siyan. Overall, the two are tied in this aspect.
Comparing the overall performance of strength and voting, He Yingyu has overwhelming strength, but Tan Siyan only has a slight advantage in voting.
Therefore, after discussion at the longevity sect elders meeting, He Yingyu was chosen as the new longevity species.
Tan Siyan reacted to this result more calmly than before. After returning from overseas travels for decades, he has become more calm and capable. He was not elected as a Taoist scholar, so he took the initiative to apply to become a monk again. Establish separate sects, guard the sects, and support each other.
This kind of request is not uncommon in the past history of the longevity sect. It is usually the extremely outstanding and confident Jindan Daxiu who chooses to establish another sect.
But this is also the best development for talented people.
If you can develop your personal sect well, you will be free outside, and one person can control the voice and resources of a sect.
Except for a few periods when you need to listen to the call of the sect, in most periods you can develop on your own.
As the leader, Chen Dengming did not refuse Tan Siyan's request to stay.
After deliberation by the sect's elders' council, they approved with a wave of their hand that Tan Siyan would bring a group of close followers who were willing to follow him to establish a branch outside the sect to support each other.
In order to show his friendship in the past, Chen Dengming also used his own money to donate four third-level spiritual boats from the Beiling Sect's inheritance as assets for the start-up of the branch sect.
Naturally, the process of approving the establishment of a branch sect is not that simple.
The ideological review of any accompanying disciples who leave the sect needs to go through a step-by-step process in case the disciples who leave the sect have second thoughts. If they have the support of the sect but do not obey orders, then it will be another trouble. The details will not be discussed for the time being. Press does not indicate.
As for Chen Dengming, after eighteen years of training, his strength has improved a lot.
The most important thing is that when I accepted the inheritance of the Human Immortal Taoism more than ten years ago, I used the immortal energy emanating from the Human Heart Palace to cultivate more than 4,500 proficiency levels in the "Celestial Immortal Art".
This improvement has almost saved him ten years of hard work.
Coupled with the accumulation of practice in the next eighteen years, the proficiency of "Celestial Immortal Technique" has increased by more than 1100 points.
At this time, people are in the palace.
Chen Dengming observed the status of his own panel in his mind.
"Middle Nascent Soul Monk [Chen Dengming]
Life: 252/874/4905
Spiritual roots: water, wood (high grade 100/100)
Martial Arts: "General Guide to Chen's Martial Arts" (Xianwu 47/100)
Taoism: "Longevity Gong" (Perfection), "Heavenly Immortal Technique" (mid-term 17019/36000).
Taoism: Immortal Taoism (Fu, Shou, Ming): Others are omitted."
Now he is over 250 years old.
Since crossing the threshold of 200 years old, Chen Dengming has rarely celebrated his birthday every year.
Sometimes, I practice retreat once, and when I wake up, my birthday has passed.
He also has a long life span of more than 4,000 years. He is not a twilight old man counting the days, but he does not take the joy of birthday too seriously.
And with the current level of progress in "Heavenly Immortal Jue", Chen Dengming only needs to practice day and night for another fifty-two years before he can break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
Counting the past twenty-one years, he could achieve his breakthrough in about seventy-three years.
Corresponding to the opening time of Shattered Sky Heart Realm, if you are lucky, you may just catch it.
The only thing that makes him feel regretful is that he doesn't know whether it is limited by the spiritual realm, the realm of strength or the understanding.
He has always been unable to understand the fifth pattern representing the Taoism displayed by the human-immortal Taoism.
However, all these years of research have not yielded anything.
Chen Dengming had a vague feeling that this Taoist meaning could not be grasped by his own strength alone, but might also concern many people.
"That's more like a kind of borrowing, whether it's willingness or some kind of power. At least it won't be my own power.
It's about gathering all the power into me, which is somewhat similar to the power of incense and belief, but completely different. "
Chen Denming's closed eyes opened.
When my mind wanders, I look at the rows of heart-fire lamps on both sides of my surroundings and think thoughtfully, “It could also be the power of the mind.
I alone use the mental strength of many other people to strengthen my mental strength. Sometimes my human power is exhausted, but my mental strength is endless.
But everyone's mood is different, their thoughts are different, and people's hearts are unpredictable. Only by working together can there be a glimmer of hope for me.
This may be done by yourself with the help of the power of the Human Heart Palace."
Chen Dengming couldn't help but shake his head secretly when he thought about the unbearable past events in the past few years.
He has already made various well-thought-out predictions, the core of which is the more reliable one.
But in these years, he has also tried to guide his sister's mental energy to add to his body and strengthen his mental strength.
As a result, something indescribably embarrassing happened.
Tried several times later, still the same.
Chen Dengming had no choice but to give up trying. It would be too much to bear, and his mental energy would not increase but would be depleted.
This also shows that it is difficult for others to put their efforts into oneself.
He Yingyu is the person closest to him, and this is still the case.
For many others, it is even more difficult to achieve. Only with the help of the Heart Palace can there be a glimmer of possibility.
At this moment, a spiritual light flickered in front of him.
The ferocious face of the fierce ghost Zhu Xun emerged from the flames, and his expression showed joy.
"Huh? Is there any news about the seventh soul of the little formation spirit?"
Chen Dengming's heart moved, and he immediately teleported over to establish a connection with Lao Zhu's soul.
When he entered the Heart Palace this time, he estimated that it was the time for him to contact Zhu Xun every six months, so he came in and waited.
In the past eighteen years, he and Zhu Xun have always maintained this frequency of contact. In addition to ensuring the safety of Zhu Xun's development under the Yinquan, he also mainly searched for the whereabouts of the seventh soul of the little formation spirit.
However, the world under the Yinquan is really not small.
Especially in the Styx River, there are many branches, extending in all directions, and the water system is complex.
If you want to find the seventh soul of the little formation spirit, it would be fine if it has a great reputation, but if it is unknown, it is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.
The moment Chen Dengming made contact with the past, a sound of joy came from Zhu Xun's heart.
"Brother Chen, I finally found a reliable clue this time.
I originally wanted to contact you three months ago, but I couldn't take the initiative to get in touch with you.
In fact, this clue has been identified three months ago, and now the investigation is very close."
Chen Dengming, "What should I say? Where is the seventh soul of the little formation spirit now?"
Zhu Xun, "Three months ago, my ghost messenger noticed the strange movement of the Horcrux in Neifang City, the ghost city of the Yinming Ghost King.
The Horcrux will only react when it discovers the soul of Senior Array Spirit.
So I immediately asked my second roommate to supervise the investigation, and finally determined that the reaction of the Horcrux will become stronger only when it is close to the inner palace of the ghost city of the Yinming Ghost King.
Therefore, it is basically certain that the seventh soul of Senior Array Spirit should be in the Yinming Ghost Mansion."
Chen Dengming frowned, "Yinming Ghost Mansion?"
Zhu Xun solemnly said, "The Yinming Ghost King is not simple. Although he does not have a Yin spring, he can build a ghost city by himself. He has many powerful ghost generals and ghost cultivators under his command. He is considered the strongest overlord in the river area. He has Nascent Soul. Later strength.
The Yinming Ghost Mansion is also heavily guarded, with powerful ghost formations arranged, making it difficult to sneak into. The people I sent to test it before have all been wiped out, and I am afraid that they have only alerted the enemy.
Now, if we want to further confirm whether the soul of the senior formation spirit is in the ghost mansion, we may have to force his way in! but"
"Later stage of Nascent Soul."
Chen Dengming pondered in his heart.
A ghost king with this level of strength is indeed difficult to deal with.
Even if he helps Lao Zhu, with Lao Zhu's current level of strength, there is still a huge risk.
Moreover, the "but" mentioned by Lao Zhu is another concern.
"Are you worried that you might accidentally injure the seventh soul of the little formation spirit?"
"That's right. After all, when the Nascent Soul Ghost King fights, it can easily affect other ghosts.
Moreover, the strength of the Yinming Ghost King is indeed very strong. The late stage of Nascent Soul was only rumored many years ago. It is still unknown whether it has broken through yet. "
Zhu Xun said solemnly, "So I have a plan to ask Xingluo Yinquan Ghost Lord to act together. After the promise is successful, I will give half of the Yinming Ghost King's power and territory to him. In this way, our risk will be reduced. dropped to the lowest level.
Otherwise, even if I can force the Yin Ming Ghost King out of the ghost city, I may not be able to go deep into the ghost house to rob people under the noses of the Yin Ming Four Ghost Generals."
Chen Dengming immediately understood what Lao Zhu was thinking.
He was currently in the palace of the human heart, using his mind to contact the other person's mind. Of course, he was aware of the other person's fluctuating thoughts at this moment.
I understand that Lao Zhu still has some selfish motives in this matter.
He wanted to take this opportunity to eliminate the Yinming Ghost King and expand his own power and territory.
However, this does not conflict with the seventh soul who is looking for the small formation spirit.
He doesn't mind the selfishness that normal people would have.
After all, the situation in the ghost mansion is unknown. No one knows whether the seventh soul of the little formation spirit has been detained and hidden, or whether it has become a person in the ghost mansion.
The Ghost King of Yinming is not like a fool and can be easily led out of the ghost mansion.
After leading out of the Ghost Mansion, if Yuan Ying had perfect strength, then Zhu Xun would have no choice but to flee.
Unless the Ghost King of Xingluo Yinquan goes out in person and sends ghost soldiers and ghost cultivators to attack, it might be possible to alert the Ghost King to come out of the city to fight.
At that time, Lao Zhu or the two ghost ladies will have the opportunity to enter the Yinming Ghost Mansion to find the seventh soul of the little formation spirit.
The only reason that can attract Xingluo Yinquan Ghost King to go on an expedition is to promise huge profits to kill the Yinming Ghost King and take away his territory, resources and power.
Chen Dengming just thought for a moment and then decisively transferred his thoughts.
"You first go to lobby Xingluo Yinquan Ghost Lord to see if he is willing to agree. If it is difficult, I will come forward to talk to him."
Over the years, he has made two more transactions with Xingluo Yinquan Ghost Lord.
The supplies provided to counterattack the Monk Alliance made Xingluo Yinquan Ghost Lord increasingly dissatisfied.
The intelligence information about Ghost Emperor Yuan that Chen Dengming investigated from under the Yinquan gradually dissatisfied the Counterattack Monk Alliance, causing the supplies provided to become increasingly useless.
This Silk Road connecting the human world and ghosts seems to be in danger.
For the time being, Chen Dengming has no good solution.
But after these years of cooperation, the relationship between Xingluo Yinquan Guijun and Xingluo Yinquan is indeed going well.
This joint expedition against the Yinming Ghost King may be a cooperation to further consolidate the relationship.
After Chen Dengming finished instructing Zhu Xun, his mind exited the Human Heart Palace and returned to the cave.
His nose soon smelled the aroma of medicine coming from the elixir room, and his eyes dimmed slightly, and he sighed inwardly.
This medicinal fragrance is a life-sustaining potion, a life-sustaining elixir that he exchanged from the Counterattack Monk Alliance through his military exploits.
Just because the life-extending elixir is not a life-extending thing for mortals, but a life-sustaining medicine.
Therefore, He Yingyu would boil the precious life-extending elixir into juice every time, dilute it and feed it to Chen Jing.
Yes, this life-extending concoction was brewed for Chen Dengming’s son, Chen Jing.
As early as ten years ago, Chen Jing and Chen Yiran were sent back to the Eastern Region Changshou Sect by Jiang Qiang, Heifeng, and Black Clouded Leopard to live with them.
However, Chen Jing's complexion became increasingly poor five years ago and he aged rapidly.
Chen Dengming could tell at a glance that Chen Jing's life span was coming to an end.
This is something that should not be done. Chen Jingzong is not a monk, but he is also an innate warrior. With the resources provided by Chen Dengming, it is easy to live to be 130 or 40 years old. How can he be on the verge of death in his eighties?
But this kind of thing just happened.
Since then, Chen Dengming began to think of ways to extend his son's life for a few more years.
Unfortunately, after the life-sustaining elixir has been boiled and diluted, its potency is greatly reduced, and it can be said that it is not even one in a hundred. Moreover, the more you take it, the less effective it is.
Therefore, even if Chen Jing takes this medicine to prolong his life, he may only be able to live for another four or five years.
"Jing'er, this child, was deeply injured by Chen Xue in the past. This is a chronic heart disease that leads to a decline in lifespan. It is difficult to cure it with medicine or stone."
Chen Denming stood up and walked towards the elixir room.
Even though he is a spiritual master and understands the root cause of Chen Jing's heart disease, it is difficult for him to completely cure his heart disease.
Unless magic is used to make Chen Jing fall into a long and illusory spiritual world, and grow old together with Chen Xue in the illusory world, his life may be extended for decades.
Or maybe Chen Xue comes back from the dead.
These are obviously unnecessary and unnecessary things.
Chen Dengming was unwilling to do that, and Chen Jing was unwilling to live in an illusory spiritual world when he died.
Therefore, after taking the medicinal soup this time, Chen Dengming planned to take his son Chen Jing out for a walk, go back to Nanxun, and return to the mortal world.
Chen Jing may feel much better when he sees his former hometown, and he may be able to live for another year or two with a smile on his face.
This is the last meaningful thing Chen Dengming can do as an old father.
