"Earth Immortal Patriarch?"
After the wicked Taoist left, Xu Zhuang fell into deep thought for a while.
Although the immoral Taoist's words are full of ominous things, Xu Zhuang is the authentic disciple after all, not some uninformed outsider, and he is certainly not ignorant of the word 'immortal'.
The real Yuanshen has been around for a long time. To a certain extent, he is no different from the immortals that the world understands.
Refining pure yang is said to be able to exist forever and be the same as the world. This is a cultivation level that is unimaginable for ordinary cultivators.
However, even so, True Master Yuanshen and True Lord Chunyang are still not called immortals. Only the heavenly immortals who are still above Pure Yang are the real achievements of the immortal family in the minds of cultivators.
So is it possible that the Earth Immortal Patriarch is the supreme being who has harvested the fruits of immortality and accomplished the great deeds of heavenly immortals?
Although Xu Zhuang didn't know why Taisu Zhengzong was passed down to another monastery in Tianpu Realm, it is impossible for the sect to have no understanding of the background of this world. If the Earth Immortal Patriarch had attained the status of Tianxian, even Taisu Zhengzong would not be able to transfer it to other schools. When he was offered to the Grandmaster's Hall, Master Mingjing did not dare to speak wild words to him.
Therefore, it is not Xu Zhuang’s wild guess. Judging from the performance of Master Ming Jing, it seems unlikely that the Earth Immortal Patriarch is the Heavenly Immortal.
So what other existence dares to claim to be an 'immortal'? Does the so-called earthly immortal involve the path to the cave and heaven?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhuang couldn't help but think of the method of cave heaven sent by Yang Bi and Yu.
As soon as the method of Dongtian came into Xu Zhuang's hands, he had read it in detail. As expected, from the method of achievement to the result of achievement, Master Yuanshen and Master Dongtian were very different.
Eliminating the false and retaining the true, jumping out of the mystery of life and death, is to become the real person of the soul. This process is completely non-false and external, which is both mysterious and difficult.
Even the Taisu Zhengzong, the cultivation of true disciples has always been based on hard work. Why is this?
Because there is nothing between heaven and earth, I dare to guarantee that it will help to achieve the soul, cut off illusions, and see the true nature. The process has always been the own path of each true disciple.
But Dong Tianren's method of achievement completely subverted Xu Zhuang's ideas.
Practicing the Dao foundation of Qi, refining the method to condense the elixir, combining the spirit and Qi, and achieving the perfection of the Nascent Soul. Every step of the cultivation method in the Tianpu world before heading towards the Dongtianren is no different from the authentic Taoist sect. But at this step, everything suddenly changes. Once it changes, it completely goes against the path of Yuanshen.
The completion of the Nascent Soul means that the monk's spiritual energy has reached its peak. Unless there are enough opportunities to enhance the foundation, it is already perfect and cannot advance further.
However, according to the methods recorded in the method of Dongtian, Yuanying Dacheng monks can draw on the source of Dongtian and continue to increase their spiritual energy. This is nothing more. Although it is a rare method that can increase the foundation, it also consumes the source of Dongtian, which is really too much. Too extravagant.
But the method of Dongtian naturally does not end there. Otherwise, no matter how many foundations are added, it will only become a stronger Nascent Soul monk. While Yuanying monks absorb the origin of Dongtian to increase their divine energy, they also need to understand the operation of Dongtian, and finally achieve The realm where divine energy communicates with the origin of the cave.
For different monks, it can take as short as three hundred years, as long as five hundred years, or as long as eight hundred years to reach this state. However, unless the life span is insufficient, as long as the monks can practice to the great achievement of Nascent Soul, they will not be so stupid. This step is impossible.
After reaching the state where divine energy can communicate seamlessly with the original source of Dongtian, the monks can give up their physical body and combine the Dacheng Nascent Soul into the original source of Dongtian, thus becoming a Dongtian person in one fell swoop.
Such a method of achievement can be achieved completely by borrowing external objects. Although it is a bit extravagant, in theory, as long as there is a method, any third-level Nascent Soul monk with sufficient lifespan can achieve it.
Of course, it is not an easy matter to find a cave that can be used to achieve success, but compared with the elusive Yuanshen Avenue, it is already much simpler.
At least even Taisu Zhengzong cannot train anyone to become a real Yuanshen. However, it is possible to open up a cave and train a third level Yuanying monk regardless of the cost.
But having said that, as Xu Zhuang expected, there are indeed differences between Dong Tianren and Yuanshen, or they can be called flaws.
First of all, after achieving the cave heaven, the mana and magical power have of course increased tremendously, at least in a way that the Nascent Soul monks cannot match.
But compared with Zhenren Yuanshen, Xu Zhuang has no way of knowing whether he is more mature or less mature.
Although not long ago, Xu Zhuang witnessed with his own eyes that Master Mingjing instantly destroyed the body of Master Dianxing, but that might have been caught off guard.
Moreover, Xu Zhuang had no way of knowing how high Taoism Master Ming Jing was. After all, whether it was Master Yuanshen or his true form and magic weapon, his Tao, Dharma and magical powers were completely different every time he survived a disaster.
Moreover, if he is in his own cave, the world and the earth are constantly working together. Xu Zhuang guesses that even if Yuanshen Zhenren's supernatural power is superior to Dongzhenren's, he may not want to compete with him in Dongzhenren's cave.
But even if we put aside the magical power, Dong Zhenren seems to be incomparable to Yuanshen Zhenren.
The true soul of Yuanshen, when gathered, takes form, and when dispersed, he becomes Qi. He goes in and out of Qingming, travels in Taixu, and enjoys great freedom.
As for the cave heaven beings, who are connected to the cave heaven, they can only use the cave heaven origin to condense their body to travel, but they cannot recover their mana outside the cave sky. Moreover, once they die outside, they will consume the actual cave heaven origin.
This is also the reason why the Immortal Dharmakaya of Wuzong Cave traveled too far away from the Heavenly Waterfall Realm and found other worlds.
However, Xu Zhuang speculated that if there was a method for the second soul, perhaps this shackles would not be inescapable. However, the inheritance in the Tianpu world was short, and the orthodoxy was single. There was no precedent for Dongtian people to cultivate the second soul, and Xu Zhuang could not Sure.
More importantly, the Dongtian people are like the Yuanshen people. Although they enjoy longevity, the cultivation of the Dongtian people can only grow with the origin of the Dongtian.
This process is really slow, but the three disasters will not slow down even a step, which makes it extremely difficult for the Dongzhen people to survive the three disasters. This is also the real reason for the death and replacement of the Dongzhen people in the five regions.
So are the methods used by Master Yuanshen to avoid and overcome catastrophes, including innate spiritual roots like the Green Purple Pearl Fruit, effective for Master Dong Tian? This is another unsolved mystery.
Of course, even if we don’t mention the Earth Immortal Patriarch, there is also the example of the Zhengquan Taoist who survived the fire. The Dongzhenren are not without the possibility of going further.
Finally, when the Yuan Shen connects with heaven and earth, the cultivator's spiritual consciousness will have a "whim" and "blessing to the soul" ability that will be greatly enhanced. Not only can it be compared with magic masters such as evil Taoists, but it will also possess some divination. Calculating heaven's secrets, knowing the past and the future.
However, Yang Biji's Dongtian Method did not mention this matter. Perhaps this is a complete flaw in Dongtian Zhenren compared to Yuanshen Zhenren.
All in all, Dongtian is much simpler except for the method of achievement, and it seems to be inferior to the soul in every aspect. Although Xu Zhuang can only think of some solutions with his knowledge, but for Xu Zhuang, who aspires to the great road, it is undoubtedly It seems tasteless.
However, Xu Zhuang was not too disappointed with this. Long before this, he had firmly chosen the Dao of Yuanshen. The reason why he still sought the method of the cave was that it could be used as a stone for other mountains, and that he could kill the enemy. The seeds left by the Dharma of Cave Heaven in one's heart.
In the end, it was because he was in charge of the True Form Viewing, and whether he was inevitably involved in the Tianfu Dharma Assembly, or whether he made some achievements in running the dojo, in short, if he did not finish the affairs in this world, it was indeed Not to his liking.
And compared with the illusory and illusory way of the authentic Yuanshen Avenue, after all, the method of Cave Heaven is a method that gradually achieves the goal of becoming a 'real person'. It still has its merits. There is also a method of increasing the foundation. Although it is a bit extravagant, it is still very rewarding. .
Moreover, the Cave Heaven Method may be a little inferior to those who aspire to the great road, but for others, it is undoubtedly the path to heaven. If this method is brought back to Taisu Zhengzong, it may greatly enhance the strength of the sect. Could it be that Is this the reason why the sect spread its dojo in Tianpu Realm?
But Senior Brother Daochen also had the opportunity to obtain the Dharma of the Cave Heaven, but he refused to take it...
This matter needs to be discussed with Senior Brother Daochen after returning to the sect before consideration.
Xu Zhuang thought for a moment, and temporarily put the method of Dongtian in his heart, and thought: It is time for me to return to the sect. At that time, I can also go to Langhuan Tower to look up what the words of a person who respects the title of 'immortal' are. ?
After all, it involves the Immortal Family's achievements that monks desperately desire, and Xu Zhuang is still very interested in this matter.
However, even though he has made the decision to return to the sect, he still has to wait for the true form concept to be officially stabilized, and at least to invite the jade statue of the ancestor into the ancestor's hall, before Xu Zhuang can leave with peace of mind. Now it is better to take advantage of this period to practice some practice. .
You must know that both the Tianheng Domain Heavenly Waterfall and this Cave Heaven are rare and blessed places for cultivation, and Xu Zhuang now has more and more homework to do, and it is absolutely impossible to slack off in cultivation.
Just as he was thinking about it, Xu Zhuang was about to leave, but he raised his eyebrows slightly. He waited on the seat for a moment, and when he heard footsteps approaching, he spoke first: "Come in."
Hearing that someone had entered the door, this time it was another disciple. He bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, the Zhengyuan Sect has sent a congratulatory gift to congratulate our sect on entering the fifth sect and taking charge of the great domain."
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang was slightly surprised. The Zhengyuan Sect is the last sect of the Five Domains and the strongest one. Especially, the Zhengquan Taoist of this sect is the Dongzhenren who survived the fire according to Master Mingjing himself. He is also the only person in the Five Realms sect who has survived the disaster for several generations.
Although Xu Zhuang did not find any records related to Taoist Zhengquan, he found that Zhengyuan Sect also had people with extraordinary talents who refined high-grade golden elixirs. It is not difficult to match Taoist Zhengquan. Perhaps this is also this person. One of the reasons why Zhengquan Taoists are able to survive the fire.
Xu Zhuang thought, after Long Xiang and Xi Yi, the Zhengyuan Sect also sent congratulatory gifts, so only the Star Picking Sect was left that had not yet recognized the Zhenxing Guan as in charge of the Tianheng Realm. Perhaps the Dianxing Master would never be able to win. But Xu Zhuang didn't care about this face.
After thinking for a while, Xu Zhuang asked: "Apart from this, are there any other reports?"
The disciple responded: "The person from the Zhengyuan Sect who sent the congratulatory gift is a middle-aged Taoist named Zhengquan. He said that the Zhengyuan Sect had another gift to send and he wanted to see the venerable Lord."
"What? Taoist Zhengquan actually came to congratulate the gift in person." Xu Zhuang was surprised when he heard this. In any case, Dongtian is a real person, not to mention that Taoist Zhengquan has done enough etiquette.
Xu Zhuang did not dare to be negligent. After thinking for a while, he stood up and asked, "Where is Taoist Zhengquan now? I will personally go to receive him."
After hearing what Xu Zhuang said, the disciple also knew that the visitor had a distinguished status, so he vaguely made a guess, and hurriedly said: "The disciple arranged for him to wait in the original welcoming hall of the mountain gate."
Xu Zhuang nodded, waved his disciple away, and then left the main hall. He turned into a rainbow and escaped for a moment, and then exited the cave from the original portal.
In the outside mountain gate, there is also a lot of enthusiasm now. Many buildings of the original Tianhengzong have been rebuilt, but there are also some buildings that have not been demolished in a hurry, such as the Yingbin Hall. The Tianhengzong built this hall, the site selection, supplies, and even the appearance of the building are obviously It took a lot of thought.
Since Zhenxingguan came to the throne, he has not only received congratulatory gifts from the major sects of the five regions, but also from other small sects and sects. Therefore, Zhenxingguan has reserved this hall for the purpose of welcoming guests.
When Xu Zhuang arrived, Taoist Zhengquan had already taken a seat in the hall. Zhenxingguan's hospitality etiquette was strict, and tea had been served. Although it was just ordinary spiritual tea, Taoist Zhengquan tasted it happily.
Seeing this, Xu Zhuang strode into the palace, clasped his hands and saluted, "I have seen Master Zhengquan, and I am sorry to welcome him from afar."
Seeing each other again this time, Taoist Zhengquan's face was not as dark as water. Hearing this, he smiled slightly and said: "I have come to visit rashly, and I am afraid that it will be inconvenient for your sect, so you are too polite, fellow Taoist."
Xu Zhuangcai's cultivation is so great that he calls him Taoist friend. Hearing this, he hurriedly said: "Master's words are serious. Please follow me to the cave to talk about it."
Taoist Zhengquan said: "The Guizong Cave is under construction. It may be inconvenient for poor Taoists to enter, so just stay here."
It seems that Master Zhengquan's visit here has given him enough respect for the true form. Xu Zhuang smiled when he heard this and stopped insisting. He sat down opposite Master Zhengquan and asked, "I wonder what Master Zhengquan wants to do with this junior?"
Taoist Zhengquan smiled slightly, took out a jade slip from his sleeve, placed it on the case and pushed it over, saying, "Fellow Taoist, please accept this."
Xu Zhuang raised his eyebrows and asked, "I wonder what this is, Master?"
Taoist Master Zhengquan said: "Fellow Taoist, it's never too late to tell you after you've seen it."
Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment, took the jade slip, and scanned it with his spiritual consciousness. What was recorded in it was actually the method to achieve the cave heaven!
The Zhengyuan Sect's method of Dongtian is no different from that of Longxiang Sect, but there are some more secrets about gathering and understanding the origin of Dongtian, and there are even methods for Dongtian people to practice and use the Dharma body.
Master Zhengquan's gift could not be said to be too important. Seeing this, Xu Zhuang's expression changed slightly, he put down the jade slip and said in a deep voice: "I don't know what Master Zhengquan means, but please speak frankly."
Taoist Zhengquan said: "After reading this, my Taoist friends, have you noticed what is the most important thing about Dongtian Dharma?"
Xu Zhuang thought about it and asked: "The origin of the cave sky?" When he asked this question, Xu Zhuang was suddenly startled and thought of something.
Taoist Zhengquan nodded slightly and said: "My Taoist friends must have thought of it. To fit into the cave, you need to absorb the essence of the cave. To refine the Dharma Body, you need to consume the origin of the cave. Even if the monks in the cave die, they will also consume the origin of the cave..."
"Although the origin of Dongtian is not impossible to recover and grow, it cannot be offset by the decline and the increase of the other. If things go on like this... No, now the survival of our Immortal Dao Tradition has reached its end."
Xu Zhuang suddenly understood why Long Xiangzong pursued high-grade golden elixirs after communicating with Master Daochen, and even indirectly led to a generation of people who were not able to take the medicine.
Zhengquan Zhenren sighed slightly: "If no changes are made, the five realms will be passed down to the third generation at most, and the fourth generation of Dongzhenren will be cut off."
Xu Zhuang pondered and said, "What do you really mean?"
Unexpectedly, Taoist Zhengquan said at this time: "The Heavenly Waterfall Realm is eager to communicate with the outside world. The appearance of Guizong has given Pindao a glimmer of hope. This method of cave heaven is just a small gift from our sect. I hope to be able to communicate with Guizong in the future." Communicate more.”
Xu Zhuang nodded thoughtfully and responded: "I will report your thoughts to my Taisu Zhengzong master, Master Taisu."
"Taisu Zhengzong." Taoist Zhengquan chewed on this name for a while, then he clasped his hands and gave a half salute to Xu Zhuang, saying: "In this way, I have thanked my fellow Taoist."
Xu Zhuang said hurriedly: "Master, you don't have to be polite."
Taoist Zhengquan just smiled, stood up and said: "The gift from our sect has been delivered, so I won't bother you any more. I will say goodbye."
Hearing this, Xu Zhuang stood up hurriedly and said, "Junior, I will give the real person a ride."
"Good." Taoist Zhengquan cupped his hands and followed Xu Zhuang out of the welcoming hall before saying, "I'm a poor Taoist." Hua Hong flew away.
ps: Go back to Xuanhuang.
