Ning Fan smiled bitterly in his heart, how dare he blame Xiang Jianzi, a quasi-sage.
It should be said that Ning Fan was the one who should feel nervous when he was suddenly called by a quasi-sage.
"Don't worry, little friend. I don't have any ill intentions. I just want to exchange some cultivation experience with you, that's all. If you don't want to, you can leave. I will never stop you."
Xiang Xiangzi smiled slightly, but his expression was a little sad.
When looking at Ning Fan from a close distance, Nan Jianzi felt that Ning Fan had a very similar temperament to Sen Luo.
The same footsteps on the sea of blood, the same feelings in the heart, the same demon king with persistence in the heart...
Others may not be able to see through many details about Ning Fan, but Xiang Jianzi can vaguely tell that Ning Fan is a demon cultivator.
Ning Fan's mind was racing, chewing on Xiang Jiezi's words.
"This person should have no ill intentions towards me, otherwise he could just rely on his quasi-sage cultivation level to take action without having to talk nonsense with me..."
"From what he said, he should have opened the first gate of heaven and man. Does he really just want to share with me his experience of the unity of heaven and man?"
After pondering, Ning Fan finally nodded and agreed to the old man's request.
Xiang Jiezi also nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly raised his hand, and the two of them immediately faded and disappeared on the ladder.
"No! Senior Brother Xiang was taken away by the second-step senior!" Several Nascent Soul disciples immediately exclaimed, their faces full of sadness, but there was nothing they could do.
Among the behemoths like Shenxu Pavilion, Yuanying monks are nothing more than ants, and almost no one cares about their life and death.
In their opinion, if Xiang Ganzi was captured by Ning Fan, it would probably be a disaster...
The only blame is that Xiang Jiezi acted rashly and angered Senior Second Step with his Nascent Soul cultivation. Although they were not worried about the moth, they were unable to help...
They didn't know that no one on the entire ladder knew that Ning Fan and Xiang Ganzi had not actually moved half a step away from where they were. They were still standing on the ladder, but they seemed to be standing in another dimension.
Ning Fan looked at the empty ladder and the empty Shenkong Star. His eyes were shocked and he said,
"This is... a barrier!"
Just a moment ago, Nanjizi opened a barrier across the entire Shenkong Star, blocking everyone's exploration.
They are still here. But no one knows anymore.
"My little friend, there is no need to panic. The reason why I opened the barrier here is just because I am afraid that others will disturb my discussion. If my little friend wants to leave, I can open the barrier at any time and send my little friend away. "Xiang Jianzi explained with a smile. There is an indescribable intimacy in his expression.
Maybe it's because heaven and man are one, maybe it's because Ning Fan has a temperament very similar to Sen Luo, maybe it's because Ning Fan is still calm despite being frightened until now, and Xiang Jiezi's attitude towards Ning Fan is actually kind. Just like elders.
Ning Fan was startled for a moment, calmed down a little, bowed to Xiang Jiezi with his fists clasped,
"Junior Ning Fan, I have met my senior."
His tone was very respectful, but he was still very vigilant in his heart. Quietly, the jade slip of killing the emperor was hidden in his sleeve. When necessary, we are even more ready to activate the power of the Magic Life Pill at any time...
"Ning Fan... I'd rather live in the mortal world than become an immortal. That's a good name."
Xiangzi moved his tightly closed eyes and turned toward Ning Fan's sleeves. He seemed to see something for self-protection hidden in Ning Fan's sleeves, but he didn't point it out. He just sighed slightly, shook his head, and continued.
"I, Xiang Jianzi, like you, have opened the first door of heaven and man. I called you here today. I want to share with you my experience in cultivating the unity of heaven and man. I dare to ask you about the door of heaven and man. How do you feel about opening it?" Xiang Jianzi's tone was extremely polite when he asked this question.
"Are you feeling..." Ning Fan's eyes flashed, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "The opening of the door of heaven and man. What impressed me the most was that it was so accidental that there was no sign of it. ..”
"My little friend thinks that the opening of the Gate of Heaven and Humanity is a coincidence, right? When I first opened the Gate of Heaven and Humanity, I also held the same view as my little friend. However, as time has passed, my views have gradually changed. Everything in this world, everything. There is inevitable existence in accidents. In my opinion, there are still traces to be followed for the opening of the door of heaven and man."
"I have not been interested in worldly affairs for countless years. Over the years, I have sometimes transformed into a Nascent Soul, sweeping the ladder to heaven with these Yuanying monks, and sometimes transformed into a mortal, living in excessive seclusion as a mortal on a certain cultivation star. Once, I met a great mortal scholar and asked him for advice. He taught me the three realms of life. I believe that these three realms are very similar to the path of monks of my generation. Would you like to hear it?"
Xiang Xiangzi smiled slightly, but walked up the ladder very slowly step by step.
Ning Fan's eyes moved, followed Xiang Jianzi, and said respectfully, "I would like to listen to the senior's opinions."
"Haha, the great mortal scholar told me that in the mortal world, those who have achieved great things in ancient times have three realms. The first realm is the realm of 'lonely practice'. If there is a mortal poem to describe it, then It's like 'climbing up a tall building alone and looking at the horizon'..."
"When monks of our generation take the first step in cultivating the Tao, most of them practice for the sake of immortality. This kind of cultivation is ultimately passive. It is the fear of death, the fear of falling, the fear of dying... The monks in the first step think that immortality is the end of the practice. , thinking that they have seen the whole picture of the great road and the ends of the world, but they don’t know that that is just their bottom-of-the-well view. This great road has never an end. There has never been any end of the world in this world... They don’t know, but Still practicing alone, accumulating what I have learned along the way, just to see everything clearly one day, this is the first realm of a Taoist."
"This avenue has no end...this world has no ends..." Ning Fan's eyes moved.
"After our monks take the second step of cultivating the Tao, they will gradually realize that life and death are nothing but illusion, and immortality is just the beginning of eternal death. At this time, what they pursue is no longer immortality, but the truth. They want to understand the Tao. No one forces you to seek the truth, but you pursue it diligently, persist in your heart, and have no regrets even if you fail... This is the second greatest state of the ascetic, the state of 'perseverance without regrets'. In my opinion, the second step The reason why monks are stronger than the first step is not only because of their cultivation, but also because of their pursuit of the great road."
"The pursuit of the great road..." Ning Fan murmured.
"The third step of cultivating the Tao is too far away... In my opinion, this is a state of 'suddenly looking back'... From ordinary people to cultivation, from cultivation to immortality, from immortality to ordinary life again, perhaps this is the only way, Only then can we step into the distant third step of spiritual cultivation..."
Speaking of which. Xiang Chanzi suddenly looked confused.
He has been cultivating a quasi-sage for countless years, but he has never been able to step into the legendary third step of cultivation...
"Senior said that the three steps of cultivating the Tao are divided into three realms, which is quite philosophical. But what is the connection between all this and opening the door to the unity of heaven and man?" Ning Fan suddenly asked, interrupting Xiang Jianzi The confused remembrance.
"Practice alone, pursue without regrets, look back suddenly, and everything will come true... This is how I open the door to heaven in my eyes. But in my eyes, all this seems to be just accidental." Xiang Jianzi said with a half-smile.
"Practice alone, pursue without regrets, look back suddenly, everything will come true..."
Ning Fan's eyes suddenly trembled, as if he was enlightened, as if he understood something, but couldn't put it into words.
Xiang Jianzi looked at Ning Fan with a smile, as if he was coming from Ning Fan's awakening. Finding the confirmation is also quite rewarding.
"My little friend seems to possess the Luo family's magical power of war fire. Today, I came to the God's Tomb to seek a fight?" Xiang Jiezi suddenly asked.
"That's right." Ning Fan calmed down and replied respectfully.
"It is fate that I can meet my little friend today, so I give this thing to my Taoist friend. Maybe one day, this thing can help my little friend practice the battle tactics. I don't know. If the little friend can master the fourth change of the battle tactics, save him. The war king of the Luo family can somewhat offset my sinful karma..."
He bent his palm towards the moth. He took out a square golden order and handed it to Ning Fan.
There is only one divine seal character engraved on the token, and that is - 'War'!
"This is... the Siming Sect's 'battle order'! With this token, you can use the four teleportation arrays in the four-day fairy world to freely enter and leave the wild battlefield where the four-day world has been fighting against the demon clan for generations!" Ning Fan looked at him Immediately moved.
In the Siming Sect, only those who have reached the level of Immortal Level 'Fourth Level Heavenly Supervisor' can be granted a battle order!
Looking at the entire four days, the person who can hold the Heavenly Supervisor Immortal Position is at least an old monster of all eternity!
And those who have the immortal position of 'Third Class Star Lord'. There are only twenty-eight 'Xingxiu Ancient Emperors' from the Four Seas Sect.
Currently, none of the second-class or first-class immortals...
Nominally, Ning Fan was granted the eighth-level immortal position in the Demon-Sealing Peak, and was regarded as a low-level immortal official among the nine-level immortals.
With Ning Fan's qualifications, it was impossible to obtain a battle order through formal channels.
"I cannot accept this order."
Ning Fan calmed down and wanted to hand the battle order back to Xiang Jianzi.
Xiang Jianzi just waved his hand without picking it up, waved his hand again to untie the barrier, walked down the ladder step by step, and said to Ning Fan with a smile,
"The fighting spirit on Broken Halberd Peak is ultimately limited. The war king Luo Hu back then achieved his fourth transformation on the wild battlefield. This order is just useless if I put it here, but it will be helpful to you. You don't need to refuse. . Besides, this is not my kindness to you, but my apology to the Luo family... I just hope that I can use your hand to awaken the King of War, that's all..."
"Okay, little friend, it's time to go to the God's Tomb."
Xiang Jiezi just smiled, but never looked back.
Ning Fan looked at Xiang Ganzi's back and was silent for a long time. Finally, after carefully examining the order, he put it into his storage bag.
Then he clasped his fists slightly at Xiang Jiezi, turned around and continued walking towards the ladder.
Although he didn't have any good impression of Shenxu Pavilion, he didn't have much dislike towards Xiang Jiezi.
What surprised Ning Fan was that Xiang Jianzi, a dignified quasi-sage, was actually kind to others and was not as arrogant and self-reliant as some powerful old monsters.
Befriending the Nascent Soul monks and discussing Tao with mortals... Xiang Jiezi has a kind of returning to nature temperament...
The Immortal Emperor has stood at the pinnacle of immortality. But the quasi-sage is walking down the mountain little by little, reentering the mortal world...
"Going up the mountain to become an immortal, coming down the mountain to become a human being... My journey has not yet reached the peak of immortality, and it is far from the time to go down the mountain..."
Ning Fan walked to the top of the ladder in one step, stepped into the elliptical light door, and appeared in a vast space between heaven and earth.
This world is actually a huge and boundless bronze coffin, with nine layers of worlds and countless tombs built in it.
And Ning Fan is now inside this coffin, in the world on the first floor of the God's Tomb.
Where you enter, the world is desolate. Far away, there are millions of giant palaces built, all of which look like giant coffins...
Nearby, there is a small cultivation market with hundreds of cultivation shops.
Some of these cultivation shops are opened by monks from Shenxu Pavilion, while others are shops rented by monks from outside, where they sell all kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Of course, the most sold items are the various levels of ancient divine and demonic arts.
"I would like to ask this senior, is he here to challenge the various 'tomb palaces' in the tomb world, or is he here to buy skills and inheritance crystals? Do you need a little girl as a guide?"
Just as Ning Fan was looking around, on the long street of Xiuzhenfang City where people were coming and going, a beautiful female cultivator of Sui Xu moved her beautiful eyes and walked towards Ning Fan.
With her years of experience in the world of tombs, she could tell at a glance that this was Ning Fan's first visit to the Tomb of Gods.
If you can serve as a guide for Ning Fan at the God's Tomb, you can probably earn a lot of Dao Crystals. (To be continued.)
