Hebei Wushuangyue, the first peak of Tianshan Mountain.
The four seasons are bright and clear, but the eternity is cold and majestic.
The majestic Tianshan Mountains, atop the snow-capped peaks, seem to have been so lonely for thousands of years. The sky and the earth are all the same color. Only the scene of the snow being rolled up by the strong wind makes people doubt that this is a still scene.
Suddenly, the sky and the earth changed dramatically. The wind and clouds gathered on the top of the mountains, as if forming a vortex, or a funnel. No matter the wind, snow, clouds or rain, they gathered towards the center. In an instant, an astonishing spectacle was formed, and lightning began to appear. In the clouds. The center of this astonishing vision was facing the top of the snow peak. Through the violent snowstorm, a snow-covered figure seemed to vaguely appear in front of us.
There was actually a person sitting cross-legged on the top of the mountain. This person was Zhou Jun, the "exiled immortal" who had been in the limelight in recent years and then suddenly disappeared for a whole year.
At this time, he had reached a critical moment in his performance, and he actually caused changes in the world. If people in the world saw it, it would probably prove his title of banished immortal.
But Zhou Jun himself had no time to be surprised. His vitality had reached its peak and he was gathering it all in a mysterious orifice. He was even more frantically absorbing the thin "spiritual energy" gathered from heaven and earth. His energy and spirit were highly concentrated, and he was impacting the legend. The realm of "Taoji" in the world.
But no matter what, Zhou Jun, who had prepared to the extreme for this, seemed to face only failure. The accumulation of vitality seemed to have no end in sight. Even though Zhou Jun had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair.
"In order to attack the Dao foundation, I spent ten months to accumulate my energy to the extreme, adjust my condition to the best, and even traveled all over the mountains and rivers to find the top of the Tianshan Mountains, which has the richest spiritual energy. Can't I also attack the Dao foundation?" Zhou Jun asked in his mind. Frustrated: “Do I really have no hope of becoming a Daoji?”
Do ordinary people also have the desire to seek the truth?
Achieving the foundation of the Tao means officially embarking on the path of seeking the Tao. Do you really have the determination and perseverance to not be afraid of hardships, overcome obstacles, and never look back?
Suddenly, a mysterious voice seemed to arise in Zhou Jun's heart, as if he was questioning himself, and Zhou Jun couldn't help but fall into memories.
His family was poor. In order to survive, Zhou Jun lived an ordinary childhood in a dilapidated Taoist temple in the mountains at the age of 7, becoming a Taoist boy, chopping vegetables and carrying water, and fooling pilgrims.
He met an immortal at a young age, and for the sake of the legendary immortal power he learned about, he worked hard to practice the magical power of the immortal, and became famous in the world. A high-spirited young man.
Poor peasants, parents, masters, old Taoist priests, friends, wealthy people, Ruyu Gongzi, Jinshi champion, confidants, heroines, witches, princesses...
Faces passed before my eyes.
Is this the legendary heart-asking question?
Zhou Jun suddenly opened his eyes and already had the answer in his heart.
His parents gave him a child, and he also gave them a prosperous and peaceful life; his master even smiled at his achievements when he was dying; his friends enjoyed their grudges in the world and displayed their ambitions in the court; the princess who admired him, and The heroine who is his confidant, the witch who is ambiguous with him, he has already given them answers...
I have the determination and perseverance to not look back!
I ask for my help!
Following a strange voice, a spiritual energy suddenly appeared in Zhou Jun's body, so much that it shocked Zhou Jun, who had never been so wealthy since he started practicing, and it would take dozens of days to replenish his energy after depleting it.
However, Zhou Jun was determined at this time and had no time to think too much, so he just went all out!
"Drink!" Zhou Jun let out a long breath, like a thunderous thunder. There was no echo in the snow-capped mountains, and it did not shake the ice and snow at all. However, it was accompanied by the violent clouds, rain, wind and snow that spread far away... far away...
Finally, Daoji is achieved!
"good!"
good! Of course it’s good. Zhou Jun admits that he finally broke through the realm of Daoji after hard work...wait?
Zhou Jun raised his eyebrows, and the vitality that could be called "mana" in his body immediately mobilized: "Who!"
Could it be that someone has been watching for his breakthrough? No one in this world should be able to do this... Could it be...
Before Zhou Jun could think about it, the voice sounded again. This time, Zhou Jun clearly felt that the voice did not seem to come from his ears, but from his heart. However, he heard the voice majesticly say: "I am a boy of five elements." !”
Uh... Hearing this, Zhou Jun's mouth twitched, and an image of a child pretending to be majestic appeared in his mind. He couldn't help but laugh for a moment, but Zhou Jun was also a person who had been in the world for many years, so he immediately calmed down his expression, raised his hands and said loudly. "Where are you spying on me? Why don't you show up to meet me?"
"Hmph! Daring boy, do you think I don't know that you are arranging me in your heart!" The voice was a little embarrassed and annoyed. It seemed that he was really just a child like Zhou Jun thought, and he no longer pretended to be majestic. It kept ringing in Zhou Jun's heart. I'm on top of you! Where do you think I am?"
On my body? Zhou Jun's heart moved, Five Elements Boy? Zhou Jun thought of the "Five Elements Yuanji He Zhen Xian Lu" he had practiced, and immediately realized, "Could it be that you are..."
"Who do you think passed on the "Five Elements Yuanji Zhenxian Lu" to you?" The voice seemed to know what Zhou Jun was thinking, and said arrogantly.
"That's it." Zhou Jun had already realized something.
It turns out that when Zhou Jun was twelve years old, he was chopping firewood in the mountains. Suddenly something fell from the sky and hit Zhou Jun. Zhou Jun fell into a coma on the spot. If he hadn't been lucky enough to be found by his master, he might have been fed to wild beasts in the mountains.
However, Zhou Jun did not think that this was an unreasonable disaster. When Zhou Jun was in a coma, he seemed to have entered an extremely long and boring nightmare.
He dreamed that he was wandering in the endless void. He didn't know how many years had passed. Suddenly one day, "Zhou Jun" passed by a huge luminous body. The luminous body exerted a huge suction force and sucked "Zhou Jun" into it...
Zhou Jun woke up at this point. After waking up, Zhou Jun could feel that there was something extra somewhere in his body.
Zhou Jun felt something in his heart. This thing is called "Five Elements Yuanji Pearl"!
And it was precisely after Zhou Jun realized the existence of this thing that he inexplicably had an extra article in his mind called "The True Immortal Urn of Five Elements and Yuanji". This is the deepest secret in Zhou Jun's heart, which is his "immortal fate"!
Thinking about this, Zhou Jun suddenly discovered that the voice of "Five Elements Boy" seemed...
"Of course it's me." The Five Elements boy said proudly, with a hint of ridicule, "Do you really think that you, a little Qi-refining monk, have to go through the heart-searching process to break through the Dao foundation? Do you think you can refine a top-grade golden elixir? Of course. I’m the one who’s testing you!”
"I see, then that sudden spiritual energy was also released by you, right?"
Zhou Jun immediately figured out all the puzzling points about his breakthrough. The spiritual energy between heaven and earth was so thin. He tried his best to absorb it, but it caused the storm to gather... How could a strong spiritual energy appear out of nowhere for him to absorb? ?
Zhou Jun said seriously: "Thank you Five Elements Boy!"
"Well..." Five Elements Boy didn't seem to expect that he would thank him seriously, and he became serious when he replied: "No need to thank me, if you didn't have the heart to seek enlightenment, I wouldn't help you."
"No matter what, I have to thank the boy, not to mention the boy's kindness in preaching to me." Zhou Jun showed a smile on his face, but he didn't expect the boy to immediately interrupt his idea of getting close: "Humph! You don't have to do this either. Thank me, no matter you or anyone else, I will never be stingy in passing on my skills, but you are so unsatisfactory that it took you six years to build the Dao foundation and almost failed. If the spiritual energy fluctuations hadn't awakened me..."
The Five Elements Boy's humming disdain made Zhou Jun feel a little embarrassed, and the small complacency in his heart was also hit hard. He thought that he had been practicing Baolu diligently for six years, but due to his weak spiritual power, he even He did not forget to save his energy, for fear of slowing down his cultivation. He originally thought that his progress was not slow, but he did not expect that in the words of the Five Elements boy, he could only be called "unsatisfactory".
Little did he know that the Five Elements Boy was actually quite surprised. It is true that six years of foundation building was not worth mentioning in the Five Elements Boy's perception. Thinking back then, all the Five Elements Boy's contacts were immortals and gods, and the young monks in the Daoji realm were just juniors. Even so, those fellow Taoists who recruit disciples are naturally very beautiful, and it is not a fantasy to build a foundation upon hearing the Tao...
However, the Five Elements boy knew in his heart how thin the spiritual energy of this world was. He had already made a decision and set a ten-year time limit for the boy who had good luck to hit him. If he could build the Dao foundation within ten years, it would be considered a success. Worthy of edification.
Now it seems that, ahem, the Five Elements boy has made a mark in his heart. He is worthy of being the "powerful" Five Elements Yuanji Pearl. Not only does he have "boundless magical power", but he also has deep luck. He just bumped into a good person. of seedlings.
The capable Zhou Jun naturally didn't know what the Five Elements Boy was thinking, but he unexpectedly corrected his attitude. However, he heard the Five Elements Boy suddenly say solemnly, "Zhou Jun!" and subconsciously answered.
"Listen carefully, I am a boy of the Five Elements! I have been wandering in the void for countless years before falling into this world for you. Because of your qualifications... Well, because you are destined to me, I can give you a chance to learn Taoism with me. Opportunity, are you willing?"
Zhou Jun said in a deep voice: "Disciple Zhou Jun, I would like to learn Taoism from the boy."
"Hahaha." The Five Elements boy laughed and said, "Okay, okay, now that the Five Directions and Five Elements Dojo is reopened, you will be the senior brother."
"What is the Five Directions and Five Elements Dojo?" Zhou Jun said coldly.
...spoilers omitted...
Zhou Jun looked up at the sky and felt the biting chill for the first time in the vast snow-capped mountains. For a moment, the excitement of building the foundation of the Taoism and the sense of mission of inheriting the Taoism cooled down.
The spiritual energy in this world is so thin that it took me six years to take a small step on the path of cultivation. Not to mention achieving something in the future, even if I inherit the tradition and continue to practice, it seems to be a directionless road ahead.
"Achieving the foundation of the Tao means officially embarking on the road to seek the Tao. Do you really have the determination and perseverance to brave the hardships, overcome obstacles, and never look back?"
The Five Elements Boy's question suddenly reappeared in Zhou Jun's heart and ears. It seemed to be deafening and shocked Zhou Jun. Yes, I have made a vow to seek the Tao, but now I shrink back when encountering difficulties. How can I have the nerve to say "I seek the Tao"!
Even if this difficulty is too difficult...
"But I won't give up." Zhou Jun looked into the distance and spoke out the words in his heart, which once again strengthened his mind.
"Okay!" Five Elements Boy said: "Since you really want to seek the truth, I have a way."
"Um?"
"I have been wandering in the universe for countless years, and I dare not use my supernatural powers rashly. I am afraid of falling into the desolate and dead realm and completely losing hope... Although this world is not a desolate and dead realm, the spiritual energy is too thin to support the monks. Practice.”
"I have a method that can take you to travel through the void and practice in other worlds... It's just that I was seriously injured, so this method can only be used once. Unless you can repair me, or you can practice the cultivation of traveling through the void, you can't came back."
When Zhou Jun heard this, he just remained silent, his eyes quietly looking at the vast flying snow, and he couldn't help but think of the Five Elements boy's test during the breakthrough.
Although it is a test of teaching, how can it not be considered as asking questions about one's heart?
I ask for my help!
"I would like to go."
————
"What kind of world will it be like here?"
"Although the Taoism in the world leads to the same goal through different paths, it is actually very different at the end! Your practice of the Five Elements Yuanji Treasure is the path of the immortals and the authentic sect of Xuanmen. In the past six years, I have been trying for a long time without being affected by the void wandering, and I finally feel it. A world suitable for your practice is called——"
"Xuanhuang World."
