Penglai Island, Biyou Palace.
"Master, are you really back?——"
The Holy Mother Wudang, who was concentrating on cultivating in her cave, suddenly felt her heart shake. She seemed to have thought of something and disappeared in an instant.
When she arrived at the gate of "Biyou Palace", she saw the palace door wide open, and Lang Lang's laughter could be faintly heard from inside.
You must know that since the Battle of the Gods, the Jie Sect, which was originally the number one in the world, has also fallen apart. Many disciples have died, scattered, rebelled, and fled.
Suddenly, the "Biyou Palace", which was originally visited by thousands of immortals, became deserted, no one cared about it, and there were only a few people around.
Among the four direct disciples of Master Tongtian, the eldest disciple, Taoist Duobao, went west to Lingshan to join the Western Sect in order to prove the Tao in his heart.
Later, the Western religion was renamed Buddhism and became Tathagata Buddha, the Lord of Lingshan today.
The second disciple, the Holy Mother Jin Ling, single-handedly resisted the three Golden Immortals who explained the teachings, namely the later three great Bodhisattvas Guanyin, Manjusri and Samantabhadra, and was still able to remain invincible.
However, she was accidentally attacked by Ran Deng Taoist, who hit her vitals with "Ding Haizhu" and died unjustly. However, she was also named "Kan Gong Dou Mu" and was in charge of the 48,000 evil stars in heaven. She was quite famous in "The List of Gods". The powerful god.
The third disciple, Holy Mother Turtle Spirit, was the one who suffered the worst fate.
She is a spiritual turtle who has attained enlightenment. She is straightforward, impulsive and impatient, but she is loyal to the leader of Tongtian.
During the Battle of the Gods, the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit used the "Sun and Moon Pearl" to defeat Kureiusun, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Cult. During the chase, she encountered the Taoist Receptionist and was surrendered by him with the rosary beads, revealing his true form.
The Taoist ordered the Taoist boy to put it away. The Taoist boy unfolded a small bag and was about to take away the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit. Unexpectedly, a swarm of mosquitoes flew out and sucked up the flesh and blood of the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit, turning it into an empty space. shell.
Poor Holy Mother Turtle Spirit, who has been practicing for many years, fell into reincarnation before her soul could be canonized as a righteous god.
In the end, only the youngest Virgin Mary remained.
That was still in the "Ten Thousand Immortals Formation". Seeing that the Tongtian Cult Master was invincible, he tried his best to save the Wudang Holy Mother, which was regarded as saving the fire for the Jie Cult.
In the past two thousand years, in addition to cultivating in Penglai Island, Mother Wudang has also incarnated from time to time and wandered around the three realms, beheading a corpse of a "quasi-sage", causing both Buddhism and Taoism to dare not underestimate her.
Although the Holy Mother Wudang used an incarnation and was unwilling to cause trouble for the Jie Cult that existed in name only, it was a pity that most of the powerful people who came from the prehistoric times still knew her identity.
It is better than the three Bodhisattvas Avalokitesvara, Samantabhadra and Manjusri. Even if they go out to Buddhism, they still have to call the Holy Mother Wudang "Senior Sister".
In the great catastrophe of Journey to the West that just passed, the incarnation of the Wudang Holy Mother also participated in it, earning some merit for herself and the remaining Jiejiao.
Whether it was the Four Saints testing their Zen mind, or instructing Sun Wukong to ask Pilan Bodhisattva during the difficulty in the Pansi Cave, this person was somewhat involved.
If it weren't for the outsider Li Zhi, at least during the Huangfengling calamity, Sun Wukong was injured by the "Samadhi Divine Wind", and this person would have taken action to treat Sun Wukong's eyes.
It's a pity that Li Zhi's small reminder caused Wudang's incarnation to lose some merit.
In the original mythological system, Wudang, the incarnation of the Holy Mother, had successively accepted several disciples.
For example, Zhong Wuyan in the Warring States Period, Fan Lihua in the Tang Dynasty, Mu Guiying and Bai Suzhen in the Song Dynasty, etc. Now that Li Zhi is involved, at least Bai Suzhen has been cut off by him.
...
"Master, do you think it's really the master who has returned?"
Behind the Wudang Virgin, two women also ran over. One of them was already in the early stage of "Daluo Golden Immortal", while the other young woman in her teens was only in the middle stage of "Golden Immortal".
"Lihua, you and your senior sister Wuyan are waiting here. Without the call of being a master, you must not step even half a step into Biyou Palace——"
Even though I usually don’t act like the Holy Mother, I like it the most
The little apprentice named Lihua also forced a serious face at this time, but without stopping, she floated to the door of "Biyou Palace".
"Is this unreasonable? Come in-"
Before Mother Wudang could greet her, a long-lost voice came from the "Biyou Palace".
"Master...disciples have no right to kowtow to Master. Master, you..."
When Our Lady of Wudang walked into the "Biyou Palace" and saw the familiar figure sitting on the cloud bed, she could no longer hold back her tears.
"Hahaha, you are so old. Over the years, you have left such a great reputation in the Three Realms. Why are you still crying today? You are not afraid of people laughing at you."
The person on the cloud bed is not the strange middle-aged guest who just left "Yingzhou Island", so who can he be?
Princess Luojia and Xiao Liluo were standing in front of the cloud bed. Especially Xiao Liluo, whose big watery eyes were no longer enough, and everything he looked at seemed novel.
Princess Luojia was secretly frightened. Until now, she didn't know who her daughter worshiped as her teacher, but she just felt that this person's cultivation level was extraordinary.
You must know that Princess Luojia herself is a "Great Luo Golden Immortal", and her father is a "quasi-sage" who killed two corpses. The entire Asura clan can be stronger than the Bo Xun Demon King, that is, "Old Styx" "Ancestor" is one person.
However, the middle-aged man in front of her gave Princess Luojia a feeling not of "powerful", but of "naturalness".
Even if she personally experienced this middle-aged man moving to "Yingzhou Island", she herself didn't feel anything at all, just appearing in this strange cave together with Xiao Liluo.
However, before Princess Luojia had time to figure it out, she was stunned by everything in front of her. This... the spiritual energy here is too abundant, right?
Immortal stone caves, exotic flowers and plants, bizarre things...
The aura that permeated the surroundings seemed to be about to liquefy, as if one could hold out a handful of water with one hand.
If you could practice in a place like this, wouldn't it be several times better than elsewhere?
The "Tianmo Palace" where Princess Luojia lived since she was a child can be regarded as a rare geomantic treasure, but compared with the cave in front of her, it is really different.
"Master, you know how to laugh at things that are inappropriate and incompetent. Jie Jiao is now in the position..."
After being praised by Master, Wudang Holy Mother was not too happy.
She was originally an innocent little girl. Back then, she and Fairy Qiongxiao, the third eldest child in Sanxiao, had the most congenial temperament. She was also the most noisy person in the "Biyou Palace".
"Wudang, don't mention the past anymore. After all, it's my lack of ability as a teacher. Come on, I'll introduce you to a junior sister."
A hint of melancholy flashed in the middle-aged man's eyes, but disappeared in an instant. After all, he was a man with a sacred heart and had seen too many lives and deaths.
"Wudang, this is the disciple I just took in, named Li Luo. She is only four years old, but she is already in the Daluo Golden Immortal realm. After I personally initiate her, you, the senior sister, will take care of her practice from now on. .”
Naturally, Mother Wudang also saw Princess Luojia and Xiao Liluo. Just when she was guessing about their identities, she heard the master's introduction.
"Little junior sister? Four-year-old Daluo Jinxian?"
Among the direct disciples of the Shangqing lineage, there are only four of them, Wudang Shenma, and among the other named disciples there are many who are famous throughout history, such as Sanxiao, Zhao Gongming, and the Seven Immortals.
Listening to Master's current tone, is this four-year-old girl actually going to be accepted as a direct disciple?
"Luo'er, I haven't met your Fourth Senior Sister in the past. From now on, you must follow your Wudang Senior Sister to practice, and you must not be lazy."
Seeing the surprised look on Madonna Wudang's face, the middle-aged man didn't express much, as if everything was within his expectation.
"Luo'er has met Senior Sister Wudang. This cave is so beautiful. Can Luo'er live here?"
The little girl hadn't realized how much blessing she had received, and her eyes were still looking around from time to time.
Watch.
"Master, this..."
As for Xiao Liluo's question, Mother Wudang did not dare to answer it.
It is true that she is now in charge of the affairs on Penglai Island, but she has another cave to live in. She only comes to the "Biyou Palace" daily to tidy up. This is the master's dojo.
"Hahaha, okay, little Luo'er is ambitious. Wudang, you will clean up a few quiet rooms in Biyou Palace in a while."
"Luo'er and her mother live here, and I will leave a room for you to teach little Luo'er daily practice."
Seeing Xiao Liluo's longing eyes, the middle-aged man actually agreed, and even the Wudang Virgin beside him was amazed.
"Wu Dang Holy Mother? Is this the 'Biyou Palace'? Then you are?..."
The three masters and apprentices were talking there, and Princess Luojia on the side also listened attentively.
The woman named "Wudang" was in such a blessed place, and saw that the other party's cultivation level was not inferior to that of her father. All of this made Princess Luojia think of something.
"Hahaha, yes, it is me. Although you are the princess of the Asura clan, I have always been well-educated."
"Wudang, please call your two disciples in. I will give you lectures for three days..."
...
The man at "Biyou Palace" on Penglai Island was preaching to several disciples, while on "Yingzhou Island", Li Zhi was also giving his "preaching".
The original holy mountain has been extensively transformed.
On the northern section of the original huge platform, a large hall was built on the ground, occupying about one-third of the platform.
Li Zhi was too lazy to think of a name anymore, so he simply named it "Temple" after the mountain. There were also plans on both sides of the "Temple", but now that time is limited, the arrangements have not been completed yet.
In the "Temple", Li Zhi sat in the middle, and the frontmost position was naturally reserved for Demon Saint Bai Ze. There were six people sitting at a distance behind Bai Ze.
"Black Stork, White Crane, Mi Chun, Mi Xia, Mi Qiu, Mi Dong, you and other six people have mastered the body skills to a small degree within ten years, and their cultivation has reached the realm of Xuanxian. You will live up to this king." What I hope for——"
Frankly speaking, the talents of these six people can only be regarded as above average, which is far from the extremely talented people Li Zhi has seen.
Even compared to the demons such as Bai Suzhen, Xue Qian, and Bai Zhi in Prince Jin's Mansion, they are still inferior.
But because of the unique environment on "Yingzhou Island", coupled with the "Ti Jue" passed down by Li Zhi and the teachings of Demon Saint Bai Ze, he has made such gratifying progress.
"We thank the Lord for your teachings——"
The six people headed by Black Stork all saluted Li Zhi.
"'Since Yingzhou Island is to be the foundation of this king, your current strength is obviously not enough. There will be more and stronger people joining in the future."
"However, as the first batch of elders of Yingzhou Island, you must not slack off. From today on, I will begin to teach you the way of thinking."
"Those who practice the Way of the Heart should focus on cultivating the Yuan Shen. Without cultivating the Yuan Shen, it is difficult to achieve the Great Way. The Way of the Heart and the Body Technique can be said to complement each other. Water and fire work together, and Yin and Yang work together..."
"Regardless of the 'Physical Techniques' or the 'Heart Way', those who practice it to the Great Perfection are expected to reach the realm of Da Luo. Only when they reach Da Luo can they achieve success in cultivation..."
Li Zhi first started talking about "Ti Jue", which are all familiar to everyone here. Listening to Li Zhi again, they all felt like they were suddenly enlightened.
Gradually, after the "Physical Techniques" were explained, the explanation of "The Way of the Heart" began.
In order to create a sacred atmosphere, Li Zhi secretly agreed with
The twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus in the sea made contact, causing it to quietly release the white lotus shadows.
These white lotus shadows are condensed from the water of spiritual power, that is, liquefied spiritual power. With Li Zhi's understanding of "the way of the heart", one by one they were impartially absorbed into the eyes of the six people sitting down. top door.
Demon Saint Bai Ze was also present. As early as ten years ago, Li Zhi handed over the "Heart Dao" and "Physical Art" to Bai Ze, and now they are gradually becoming successful.
In terms of combat power alone, Demon Saint Bai Ze feels that he can at least withstand the joint attack of the two of him at his peak.
Looking at the phantoms of white lotuses in the "Temple", Demon Saint Bai Ze knew very well that this must have been done by Li Zhi.
If you really want to be able to have lotuses blooming in your mouth, golden lotuses sprouting from the ground, and words spoken in accordance with the Dharma, you must at least have a cultivation level of "quasi-sage" or above.
However, Bai Ze will not expose Li Zhi. After all, this is the master he recognizes, and what Li Zhi does is to benefit his subordinates. Why not do it?
At the beginning, Li Zhi's explanation was limited to the two techniques of "Physical Jue" and "Heart Dao". Gradually, Li Zhi's explanation became more trivial and detailed.
He even started talking about the realm, talking about what he understood as "Celestial Immortal", "True Immortal", "Xuanxian", "Taiyi" and "Daluo".
Unknowingly, Li Zhi had already mixed in other exercises that he was familiar with, such as "Cangming Jue", which he later learned as "Xuanyuan Jue", such as "Tao Te Ching".
It is not a complete copy or use, but more of adding my own understanding. It can be regarded as an interpretation of "Ti Jue" and "Heart Dao" from the perspective of "Xuanyuan Jue" and "Tao Te Ching".
There is no sun or moon in the mountains, and the years are unknown.
During Li Zhi's "preaching" tirelessly and eloquently, the sun rose in the east and set in the west, the moon waxed and waned, and a month actually passed.
"Black Stork, White Crane, and Mi Chun, you three should quickly find a place to survive the tribulation——"
On this day, Li Zhi finally stopped "preaching".
In the past month, Li Zhi himself has also gained a lot, as if he has experienced his past self again on another level.
What was originally fragmented has now become more organized, thus forming its own set of experiences and insights.
Among the six people sitting here, Black Stork has already reached the peak of "Xuanxian", and Baihe and Michun are also in the later stages of "Xuanxian".
As early as ten days ago, Li Zhi discovered that the three people who were immersed in trance showed signs of breakthrough, but they were suppressed by him.
Since Li Zhi had bumped into him, he naturally wanted to give them the best. It was another ten-day "preaching". When he stopped talking, the calamity thunder outside "Yingzhou Island" was already hanging high.
"I'll take my leave, thank you Lord——"
Li Zhi gave an order, and the six of them were like Meng Fang Shu. Black Stork, Bai He and Michun felt their own thunder disaster, and each of them bowed to Li Zhi and hurriedly left the "temple".
"You three can't slack off, continue to meditate here, and digest what you have gained these days. Mr. Ze, please go out with me and have a look--"
The remaining three people, Mi Xia, Mi Qiu and Mi Dong, are in the same level in cultivation, but their understanding is slightly lower than the other three. Now they have all reached the late stage of "Xuanxian".
Especially Mi Dong, the youngest. This little girl has the highest cultivation level among the remaining three. She is at the peak of "Xuanxian" and is only one step away from breaking through to "Golden Immortal".
However, Li Zhi did not intend to help her. He must know that haste makes waste, and he may be able to take some shortcuts in improving the small steps.
However, whenever he encounters a major improvement, Li Zhi believes that he needs to move forward step by step.
This was one of the reasons why he agreed to let his daughter Xiao Liluo become his teacher.
The four-year-old "Daluo Jinxian" has never been seen before. It seems to be something that can sparkle in ancient and modern times, but Li Zhi knows that to a certain extent, it is just an illusion.
Even behind the glamor, there are also great risks and crises.
What Li Zhi could see, I believe the middle-aged man who wanted to accept Xiao Liluo as his disciple should also be able to understand.
It's a pity that Li Zhi, who was as powerful as he is now, didn't think of a better way to deal with this matter.
If it hadn't been for that person's appearance, Li Zhi's best approach might be to stop letting Xiao Liluo get involved in cultivation matters until she reaches adulthood or becomes mentally sound.
Or he could sell favors and send his daughter to "Wuzhuang Temple" or "Wa Palace". Otherwise, Li Zhi really didn't know how to start.
...
"Lord, these three little guys, including the three in the temple, seem to have improved their talents a lot. It seems that your white lotus shadow is not an ordinary product? Hahaha..."
Although he has been guarding "Yingzhou Island" for thousands of years, Bai Ze still doesn't know about the existence of the twelfth-grade pure world white lotus. He just thinks that there should be a strange treasure here.
After Li Zhi left ten years ago, Bai Ze also felt that the spiritual power on the holy mountain had weakened significantly, and he knew that the rare treasure might have fallen into Li Zhi's hands.
"Haha, what Mr. Ze said is true, come and see-"
Demon Saint Bai Ze, if it were ten years ago, Li Zhi might still have reservations about him.
Ten years have passed, and this old man has been running "Yingzhou Island" for himself conscientiously, and even teaching the cultivation of dozens of spirit beasts.
Except for the six people who were taken into the disciples by Li Zhi, the remaining spiritual beasts are now "celestial immortals" and "true immortals". They have built their own caves for practice around the holy mountain.
Of course, today's Li Zhi, on the surface, only has the cultivation level of the late "Taiyi Golden Immortal", but he also has the rare "Pseudo-Ancestral Witch Body" in ancient times.
Even if he breaks up with Demon Saint Bai Ze in person, Li Zhi is sure to be completely invincible.
What's more important is that Bai Ze's "Physical Technique" and "Heart Dao" have both reached great perfection. Among all the people taught by Li Zhi, he has the highest level, and he is also the person with the highest level of practice in these two techniques.
In this way, Bai Ze gave the greatest feedback to Li Zhi, and Bai Ze's dependence on Li Zhi even evolved into admiration.
The feedback from those who practice "Ti Jue" or "Heart Dao", so far Li Zhi has not figured out what the use is. It is a gray-white aura entrenched in his Dantian.
It was just a wisp in the beginning, but now it has spread all over. Unfortunately, Li Zhi just can't figure out the use of this thing.
"My lord, this white lotus is actually the twelfth grade? The twelfth grade Pure World White Lotus?——"
Seeing a white lotus floating in Li Zhi's hand, Bai Ze could naturally tell that it was not an illusion, but a real white lotus.
It looks white and sacred, and the faint fragrance refreshes the heart and spleen, giving you a sense of detachment.
"Haha, yes, I am lucky enough to get this lotus. Ze Lao should keep it a secret for me for a while until I have the ability to protect myself."
Li Zhi took the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus into the sea of consciousness, and even showed a rare humility.
"My lord, you are indeed blessed with profound blessings. I am so happy for you——"
Even after experiencing thousands of years of baptism, Demon Saint Bai Ze's eyes were slightly moist.
In Bai Ze's heart, Li Zhi has long been regarded as his spiritual sustenance, just like the two peerless demon emperors back then, but he also has his own unique charm.
"Boom boom boom——"
The thunder tribulation not far away is still going on, but Black Stork is the only one left in the field to overcome the tribulation. The three of them are all going through the "Golden Immortal" thunder tribulation, but only Black Stork is going through the "Sixty-nine Thunder Tribulation".
"My lord, this little girl Black Stork, even though she is so arrogant on a daily basis, is not comparable to the other five in her cultivation journey."
The three people who have overcome the tribulation in front of him can be regarded as being grown up by Bai Ze. Although they are not masters and disciples, they are still like his own children.
"It's indeed good, but it's a pity that the time to start practicing is still too short. In the Golden Immortal Realm, it's difficult to even protect yourself."
"Mr. Ze, who is the person you selected to refine the weapon before?
? I have thought about it over and over again, but still have no clue. "
"Those two who came from Jiejiao are now on duty in Heaven. Each is in charge of a department. They are not allowed to leave easily, and they have no friendship with us."
"The remaining powerful person who came from the teachings seems to have been missing from the entire Three Realms for nearly two thousand years. Even if he is found, how can he be used by me?"
In Li Zhi's opinion, it is impossible for these three people to come to refine the "Star Flag" for him. There are so many of them that he even has problems with the materials for refining.
Unless the middle-aged man is willing to sacrifice his dignity, there may be a chance to hire the two former coaches, but will that person do it?
If he could, I'm afraid he wouldn't have to ask Li Zhi to retrieve the four swords for him.
"Haha, does the Lord think that Yun Zhongzi among these three people is the least likely to be invited?"
After listening to Li Zhi's words, Bai Ze laughed "haha" again.
"My lord, do you know Lao Chan's origin? When Lao Chan was just a spiritual beast, he grew up in the Kunlun Mountains, and happened to live next to the 'Yun Neutron'."
"This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that I have always doubted the true identity of Yun Zhongzi."
After laughing, Bai Ze regained his calmness and wisdom. He unconsciously stroked his goatee under his chin with his right hand and spoke slowly.
"Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Ze to have an old relationship with Yun Zhongzi? Then, I wonder what the origin of that powerful person who explains the teaching is?"
Hearing Bai Ze really say the name "Yun Zhongzi", Li Zhi also opened his eyes wide. It seemed that the "booming" thunder not far away could no longer attract his attention...
