The day after Old Man Nantian was captured, the imperial court of the Great Zhou Dynasty sent monks to take him away, and his whereabouts are unknown since then.
They only say to the outside world that they are under strict supervision.
also.
After the battle of the old man Nantian in the Li Mansion, the Li family and the Yan family also broke up because of Yan Xinxin's death.
Because of this incident, Li Mingqi completely withdrew from the political stage of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
He no longer holds power in his hands, and has no choice but to become an idle prince, focusing on the mountains and rivers, and his sense of existence is infinitely reduced.
It was his son Li Aotian.
Because he easily captured the old man Nantian who had the late Nascent Soul cultivation level, Li Aotian became famous throughout the Great Zhou Dynasty.
However, these reputations are not all positive, but mixed.
Some people think that he has received a great opportunity and will rise to prominence in the future, with an unlimited future.
But more people speculated that Li Aotian's cultivation was obtained by practicing demonic skills. Moreover, this demonic skill also had a certain impact on his spirit.
This resulted in Li Aotian not only suffering from severe schizophrenia, but also often talking crazy.
even
He also likes to slap himself and quarrel with himself for no reason, and the quarrels are severe.
This matter was witnessed by the guests who went to the Li Mansion for the banquet, and it was absolutely unmistakable.
As for the series of comments from others, Li Aotian himself didn't care much. He only wanted Yan Xinxin to survive.
Affected by Yan Xinxin's death, Li Aotian went wild all day long.
Others say he is crazy, so he simply faces everything with a crazy attitude and lives his life with the attitude of playing with the world.
During this period, Chengsheng fell into a deep sleep again
…
Time passes and the world changes.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
When Chengshuo regained consciousness again, through Li Aotian's perspective, he found that he was in a dark and lightless chamber.
The secret room was dark and damp, and looked like it was built underground.
also.
Perhaps it was to prevent something from entering the secret room.
Cheng Sheng also discovered that the windows, door cracks and even some small holes in the walls of this secret room were covered with densely packed talismans.
"Senior, you finally woke up." Li Aotian spoke calmly, as if he felt the awakening of life in his consciousness.
"What time is it now?" Chengshuo's first sentence when he woke up was to ask about the current year, month and day.
After asking, he suddenly felt something in his heart again and said in surprise: "Fellow Taoist Aotian, you have actually reached the late stage of Nascent Soul?"
"Ah,"
Li Aotian chuckled, and his words seemed to contain endless vicissitudes of life: "Nearly a hundred years have passed since Senior Cheng fell into sleep."
"And I, Li Aotian, am not bad in terms of qualifications. Over a hundred years have been enough for me to break through to the Nascent Soul stage."
"More than a hundred years have passed?" Hearing Li Aotian's answer, Chengshuo was surprised: "I actually slept for so long in one breath?"
"It can't be called a deep sleep." Li Aotian shook his head and said: "After all, in these more than a hundred years, I have not felt the existence of my predecessor."
"What do you mean?" Chengshuo didn't understand what Li Aotian said.
Li Aotian explained: "To put it bluntly, during these more than a hundred years, the consciousness of my predecessors did not exist in my body."
"Ah," Chengshuo said in confusion, "So where have I been during the more than a hundred years I've been sleeping?"
"Who knows?"
Li Aotian said: "In short, I guess that the senior is not always possessed by my body, but can only make consciousness descend on me at certain specific time points."
"I probably understand what you mean." Chengshuo said with some clarity: "The biggest difference between always possessing you and possessing you only at certain specific time points is that the former is equivalent to me falling asleep. In the past hundred years or so, it’s equivalent to me living more than a hundred years longer.”
"As for the latter, it's just like I had an intermittent dream, and it only lasted for a few dozen days."
"Well, that's the correct answer." Li Aotian added: "As for why senior made consciousness descend on me at a specific time point, I don't know that well."
"As for the reason for the arrival, I can guess a rough idea." Chengshuo continued Li Aotian's words: "However, the reason involves unspeakable creatures, and it also involves the lives of tens of millions of people in my world, so I can't Let me tell you the truth."
"Okay." Li Aotian nodded and said, "Since you don't want to tell me, I won't ask further."
"Trust me so much?" Chengshuo asked doubtfully: "When you were young, you didn't have much scheming and ambition, so you believed whatever I said. This is understandable, but now that you are over a hundred years old, you still believe me so easily? "
Li Aotian smiled and said: "First of all, one thing I can be sure of is that it is impossible for you to harm me. After all, when I was young, if I didn't have seniors to help me from time to time, I might have died by an enemy or somewhere. In the secret realm of Dharma."
"There is also the "Ancient Swallowing Heaven Jue" technique."
Li Aotian continued: "There was something wrong with the "Ancient Heaven Swallowing Technique" that Old Man Nantian gave me back then."
"If it hadn't been for senior's warning and help in improving the shortcomings in the technique, I might have fallen into the trap of Old Nan Tian by now."
"This is really not my fault." Shengsheng said meaningfully: "The reason why I know the "Ancient Swallowing Heaven Jue" technique is actually because of you."
"Me?" Li Aotian didn't know why.
"Ah,"
And live without saying a word.
——The surviving "Ancient Swallowing Heaven Jue" technique was obtained from the secret treasury of the Daliang Kingdom and handed over by Li Zhuo himself.
The reason why there is this skill in the Daliang Kingdom's secret treasury is because Li Aotian deliberately left the jade slip of the skill for future generations to observe and imitate.
So in the final analysis, the survival technique really originated from Li Aotian.
In the secret room.
Li Aotian continued: "After I figured out that senior couldn't possibly kill me, I once suspected that senior might want to take away my body."
"But after my predecessor disappeared for nearly a hundred years, I took advantage of the situation and gave up this concern."
"If senior had the intention to seize me, or to be an enemy of me in other ways, it would be impossible for him to disappear for nearly a hundred years and allow me to practice and become stronger. After all, this is tantamount to raising a tiger. Isn’t it because of trouble?”
"So I conclude that although the senior has some unspeakable secrets, he absolutely cannot be my enemy."
"Your style is really like mine." After listening to Li Aotian's analysis, Cheng Sheng commented: "You are as bold and careful as me."
"Indeed." Li Aotian also agreed: "My current style is indeed caused by the influence of my predecessors when I was young."
"Let's not talk about you for now."
After a brief exchange of greetings, Cheng Huoyan returned to the truth and preached: "They also said that you are already a monk in the late Yuan Ying stage. How come you stay in such a dark and humid place? Are you being hunted by the enemy?"
"That's it," Li Aotian sighed helplessly: "That's it."
There was a trace of reminiscence in his eyes: "More than a hundred years ago, after my predecessors helped capture Old Nantian, a strange disease suddenly broke out in our country, Great Zhou, which spread widely."
"This disease is called 'short life syndrome'."
"The lifespan of an infected person will be one-half or even one-third of that of a normal person, that is, they can live for about twenty to fifty years, and then they will die because their lifespan is exhausted."
"There is such a strange disease?" Cheng Huo heard this and felt that it was unheard of.
Li Aotian added: "Not only that. The most terrifying thing is that this disease can not only affect mortals, but even monks may be affected."
"All monks and mortals infected with the 'short life syndrome' will have a 'life countdown' in 'months' on their chests."
"When the countdown on the chest reaches zero, a creature called the 'Shou Ghost' will appear from the chest of the sick person."
"The longevity ghost cannot be killed, cannot be touched, and cannot be harmed in any way. After it appears, it will absorb all the energy, spirit, and even soul of the sick person, and then disappear."
"This disease is serious!"
After hearing Li Aotian's description, Chengshuo couldn't help but take a breath: "People infected with this disease can only live twenty to fifty years, and monks and mortals can be infected. It is indeed terrifying."
He took advantage of the situation and asked: "So, there is no cure for this disease?"
"It really does."
Li Aotian said: "Not long after the 'short life syndrome' appeared, a force called 'Heavenly Court' rose rapidly."
"I don't know how 'Heaven' did it: in short, they were able to refine a pill called longevity medicine to extend the life of the person who swallows it."
"Among them, monks in the Qi refining stage can extend their lifespan by up to a hundred years, and then the medicine will become less and less effective."
"The foundation-building period can extend your life by two hundred years, and then the medicine becomes less and less effective."
"The golden elixir stage is five hundred years, and the Nascent Soul stage is one thousand years."
In Li Aotian's era, there were no monks whose cultivation was higher than the Nascent Soul stage, so he only knew that the life-span medicine could extend the life of Yuanying stage monks for up to a thousand years.
Chengshuo followed his words and said, "Isn't that good? So does this have anything to do with you hiding in this dark secret room?"
"'Heaven' can use life-span medicine to extend his life. This sounds pretty good, but the problem is"
Li Aotian smiled bitterly and said: "The life-span medicine refined by Heavenly Court can only extend a person's life for about one month. You must take it again after one month, otherwise you will still die because your life span is exhausted."
"So in order to extend their lifespan, the monks were forced to work as cows and horses for the Heavenly Court. After more than a hundred years, the entire world was under the control of the Heavenly Court."
In just a hundred years, the entire world has been turned upside down.
Chengshuo said in surprise: "Actually, it seems pretty good to have a ruler to maintain order and stability, right?"
"Ah,"
Li Aotian said with a hint of disdain in his tone: "If this ruler may be overthrown by others at any time, then he will respect others and truly consider others."
"But if this ruler has mastered some incredible things, such as the longevity medicine. Then with the life-span medicine as a big killer, he can no longer care about the life and death of other people, and completely enslave all the monks and monks in the world. mortal."
"And that's exactly what's happening now."
Li Aotian said helplessly: "Anyone who speaks ill of Heaven will be killed by Heaven's eagle dogs. Anyone who secretly refines life-span medicine will be arrested by Heaven's people as soon as possible."
"Drink!" Cheng Huo said in disbelief: "Will you be caught even for refining life-span medicine? 'Short-life syndrome' is a disease, so the Heavenly Court won't let people treat the disease?"
"What can you do if I don't let you cure the disease?" Li Aotian said: "After the Heavenly Court stabilized its rule, they called their people 'immortals'."
"The descendants of immortals are not only born with a large amount of cultivation resources, but they can also continue to serve in heaven when they reach adulthood."
"As for us."
At this point, Li Aotian spread his hands and said: "For those like me who are still a little bit cultivated and are dissatisfied with Heavenly Court's approach, they will naturally go against the trend."
"So that's it!" Chengshuo suddenly said, "So, fellow Daoist Aotian, are you being chased by the eagles and dogs of heaven now?"
"Um."
Li Aotian looked around and responded: "Senior, you must have noticed the densely packed talismans posted in this secret room."
He explained: "The Emperor of Heaven, the controller of Heaven, has a magic weapon called the 'Book of Life and Death', which can take human lives invisibly."
"I still don't know the principle of the Book of Life and Death, and I can't think of any way to deal with it."
"So, in order to avoid being killed by the Book of Life and Death, I filled this secret room with talismans used to block perception."
"In this way, people in heaven can't find me, so naturally they won't be able to use the Book of Life and Death to deal with me."
Immortals, Heavenly Court and Heavenly Emperor?
After listening to what Li Aotian said, Chengshuo finally confirmed a guess in his mind.
Not surprisingly, he should have been sent by some unknown force to an era about 20,000 years ago, not long after the birth of Heaven.
wrong.
To be precise, the living consciousness was transported to 20,000 years ago.
As for why such a bizarre thing happened, there is speculation that it is most likely related to the 'power of faith' he possesses.
Cheng Sheng heard this from his teammates when he was knocked unconscious by Gu Xian, the leader of the invasion of Daliang Kingdom.
Like 'pain' and 'desire', 'faith' is also a type of emotion.
The emotion of 'faith' originates from the indescribable creature 'Shou'.
If the caster wants to activate this power, the most critical thing is the word 'believe'.
In order to fight against the invasion of the ancient immortals, Li Zhuo and others deceived him into believing that there was a "Supreme Supreme Being" in the world.
So Chengsheng really gained the inheritance of 'Aotian Supreme Supreme'.
With the survival of the supreme inheritance, even the team leader Ancient Immortal is no match for him.
In order to win the battle, the team leader Gu Xian and his teammates pointed out this ability of Cheng Sheng on the spot, making Cheng Sheng understand the fact that 'Aotian Supreme Supreme' was completely fabricated.
So I no longer believe it.
If you don't believe it, you will no longer have the 'power of faith'. Then the inheritance of 'Aotian Supreme Supreme' will naturally not be able to turn from fiction to reality.
Then without the survival of the supreme inheritance, it is naturally impossible to be the opponent of the leader of the ancient immortal.
Therefore, in order to preserve the survival life, an unknown force sent the survival consciousness back tens of thousands of years in an attempt to forcibly create an 'arrogant supreme being' to turn fantasy and lies into reality, thus making the survival life Believe again and turn defeat into victory.
As for who has the power to send Cheng back to life tens of thousands of years ago?
The nameless creature is omnipotent.
Therefore, Survivor's guess: The unknown force that sent him back to 20,000 years ago is most likely the indescribable creature 'Buddha' that is opposed to 'Wu Si'.
Of course, it is also possible that it is the indescribable creature 'longevity' that is given the 'power of faith' to survive.
In short, whether it is 'Buddha' or 'Shou', Chengsheng is very clear in his heart: he must do what that existence wants.
He must artificially create a 'Proud Supreme Being'.
After all, only if the Supreme really exists, can he defeat the ancient immortal with the Supreme inheritance when he is sent back 20,000 years later.
Li Aotian's consciousness was in the sea.
After figuring out the causes and consequences of his time travel, Chengshuo suddenly said to Li Aotian: "Fellow Taoist, I have a method that may allow you to defeat Heaven."
Li Aotian was stunned when he heard this and said: "What method?"
"It's not really a law, to be precise, it's an ancient book."
Chengshuo described: "This ancient book was written by the 'Aotian Supreme Supreme' who once practiced the 'Ancient Swallowing Heaven Jue', about his thoughts and experiences during the practice of the technique."
"That's what the ancient books say."
Chenghuo told Li Aotian the contents of the ancient book given to him by Li Zhuo intact: "After the skill is completed, practitioners can move mountains and fill seas, smash stars and rivers with their fists, travel thousands of miles away in an instant, and follow the sun and the moon. Longevity can be equal to that of heaven and earth."
Hearing this, Li Aotian breathed quickly and said: "So, as long as I read the experience left by the 'Aotian Supreme Supreme', I can make the "Ancient Swallowing Heaven Jue" technique one step further, so as to achieve what the senior just said. What’s that level?”
"certainly."
Seeing Li Aotian's heart move, Cheng Sheng added: "But if you want me to give you this ancient book, you must agree to one condition."
Li Aotian said cautiously: "Senior, please tell me first what the specific conditions are."
"It's not that difficult."
Cheng Huo said: "First, after you control the heaven, you need to inherit the title of 'Aotian Supreme Supreme', and you must always call yourself this to the outside world in the future."
"Okay." Li Aotian said without hesitation: "I have inherited the mantle of that senior, and I should be famous for him."
"Second." Chengshuo continued: "After you become famous, remember to leave a piece of inheritance jade slip for future generations to know."
"That's easier to say." Li Aotian smiled and said, "Even if you don't tell me, senior, I will leave a legacy jade slip after I become successful."
Done!
Seeing that he had artificially created the 'Quasi Aotian Supreme Being', he was overjoyed.
Then, he had a flash of inspiration and added: "There is one last condition: remember to put your most powerful treasure in the inheritance jade slip."
"Then, add a password to the inheritance jade slip."
Chengshuo thought for a while and said: "Well, let's set it up so that only those who say 'First there is Hongjun and then heaven, and gods and demons are in front of immortals and Buddhas' can get this treasure from the jade slip!"
"Okay, I've written it all down." Li Aotian still smiled: "Magic weapons are external things. A magic weapon can be exchanged for the secret book of supreme skills, so I still make money."
