As soon as the words "body became a saint" and "canonized a god" came out, Master Junxi's heroic eyebrows raised slightly, "Are you so brave that you don't even bother to talk about ascending?"
Mu Zixiao felt a little secretly happy in her heart. She might not be testing him when she said this, but she didn't expect that the mentor she assigned... Oh no, the master's appearance was just his most insignificant little advantage. There was really something inside.
Little did they know that Kunlun Sect Yuanze Immortal Master Junxi, although he was a medical practitioner, except for his mediocre medical skills, he could only be called an average level among powerful people. Most of his treatments were solved with heavenly spirits and earthly treasures. But all other types of bypass skills are excellent, and even swordsmanship can compete with the number one swordsman in the world.
As the undisputed number one person in the world of cultivating immortals and a master in the tribulation stage, he is only one step away from ascending to heaven. With such a master, it is no wonder that others are clamoring to become his disciples.
In order to arrange for Feng Yueying to become his disciple, God had by chance eliminated most of the people who had the opportunity to become his disciple, but Mu Zixiao, who was not very bright-minded, had to be regarded as a destined companion.
However, Shi Junxi did the opposite and gave Muzixiao a big advantage.
Mu Zixiao cupped his hands and said, "Master, ascension is just a way to go to the upper world, isn't it? I've checked all the ancient books, but I haven't found anything about the spiritual roots of the ancient gods and the immortal kings of the upper world."
After all, it was a different world, and the gods here were completely different from the gods she was familiar with.
But after researching for half a year, she discovered that although they were different, there were also many similarities. The mythological stories she knew before gave her research inspiration and basis, which in turn inspired her practice here.
The Supreme Lord, the Four Heavenly Kings, and the Eight Immortals all have magical powers, but they rarely mention any spiritual cultivation before becoming immortals. The same situation exists for the gods in the upper realm here. I have heard about their legends and incense inheritance, but they have not mentioned the cultivation of spiritual roots in the lower realm. Instead, the immortal cultivators in the lower realm focus on spiritual roots.
"Master, the current practice in the lower realm is like this."
As she spoke, Mu Zixiao raised her hand and conjured a pen out of thin air. This pen was not a writing brush, but slender and hard. She then snapped her fingers, and a wordless scroll appeared out of thin air in the palace.
She wrote on the scroll "Spiritual Root - Opportunity - Heavenly Spirit and Earthly Treasure - Magical Weapon - Technique - Upgrade".
"Nowadays, most people practice through spiritual roots, rely on chance and inheritance to obtain heavenly and earthly treasures, magic weapons, and skills, and finally reach the stage of transcending tribulations and ascending."
Mu Zixiao paused for a moment, then wrote the words "Spiritual Root - Merit - Upgrade" on the scroll, and explained, "As for the more reasonable way to become an immortal, I think it is to nourish the spiritual root with merit and virtue, and then ascend. "
Muzixiao began to break down the various bases and evidence for this conclusion for Shi Junxi.
And Shi Junxi's expression gradually changed from casual to sitting upright.
When Muzixiao finished her discussion with a dry mouth, he even condescended to pour a glass of water himself and handed it to Muzixiao.
"Thank you." Muzixiao took the water flattered and drank it all in one gulp.
Master Xi said quietly: "If your words are heard by any powerful person with an unstable Taoist heart, either you will be killed on the spot, or the powerful person will die and the Tao will disappear."
"Cough cough cough..." Mu Zixiao quickly wiped the water that spurted out due to choking with his sleeve.
"Your theory is indeed feasible, but people who ascend through meritorious deeds often have no ability to protect themselves. In today's world of immortality, they will end up very miserable. Either their spiritual roots are dug out, or they are used as a furnace."
There was a hint of warning in Shi Junxi's words, but he changed the topic, "Indeed, nowadays, practitioners in the lower world compete for the treasures of heaven and earth, kill each other, and compete with heaven and earth for creation, in order to go against heaven and cultivate immortality. But if one achieves sanctification through merit, then it means obeying the destiny of heaven and earth, relying on the public’s hope, receiving help from heaven, and becoming a saint in one’s body.”
Muzixiao's eyes were bright and he murmured, "I know it, I know it!"
Seeing her happy look, Shi Junxi raised the corners of his mouth, shook his head helplessly, and chuckled.
"I knew that Master is actually an immortal from the upper world!"
The smile that just appeared on Shi Junxi's face disappeared instantly.
