Tianzhu Mountain, Ascension Platform.
"Wonderful, wonderful! The ancients said, "He who hears the Tao in the morning will die in the evening." I just learned today that I have been practicing hard for three thousand years, but in the end I haven’t even touched the threshold of the great road! "
Zhao Xuanjing held a mysterious silk book in his hand and said to Zhao Sheng next to him with great emotion.
"Old ancestors, the Nine Steps of the Great Way mentioned by the sages were originally established to inspire future generations. As monks like us, we do not need to be discouraged when we follow the Way. Instead, we should encourage each other!" Zhao Sheng advised with a smile.
"Bah, bah, which one of your eyes saw me getting discouraged? I was just sighing in my heart and getting angry! For casual cultivators like me in the lower realm, it is already the limit to advance to become gods in this realm. If we can't ascend to the spirit world in the future, we can only I am afraid that I will be in vain all my life."
Zhao Xuanjing rolled up the silk book in his hand and knocked Zhao Sheng on the head. Although he refused to admit his negative attitude, there was still a hint of anxiety in his words.
"Don't worry, ancestor, have you forgotten the cross-border teleportation array? In addition, isn't there a Void Spirit Bell on Xie Zhenjun's side? Although hope is slim, it is better than complete despair!" Zhao Sheng reminded intentionally.
While he was speaking, there was a layer of "flowing water"-like brilliance that shone brightly and darkly on the surface of his exposed skin, as if he was breathing.
This layer of brilliance is the external manifestation of the brilliance of the cell's will, and it can be regarded as one of Zhao Sheng's small achievements during the boring three hundred years of hard work.
"Huh, Xie Jue is too selfish. If he can't summon anyone, then so be it. If the upper realm can really respond to the call and send someone to the lower realm. The person who comes is definitely the ancestor of the Taishang Induction Sect. I'm afraid that the wolf has been driven away in the front, and the wolf in the back is Here comes the tiger again! By then, the Taishang Induction Sect will be the only one, and the situation will be very unfavorable for our Nantian Zhao family!"
Zhao Xuanjing's guess is not unreasonable. Other gods in this world also have the same thoughts.
However, the situation is not up to anyone!
Xie Jueran had planned it for a long time. After wiping out the remnants of the Spirit Clan, he snatched the Void Spirit Bell before everyone else and refined it as quickly as possible.
Seeing that it was too late, Zhao Xuanjing and other five true kings had no choice but to admit this "fact".
After a split of interests, the Xiling Pond became the trophy of the Nantian Zhao family.
"Diaolongsou" traveled around and got the sea-covering staff, and Tianjue Fairy and Mad Monk also got something.
As for the Pig King, he had successfully refined all his blood and naturally returned home satisfied.
"Haha, who can say for sure what will happen in the future! Even if the guess comes true, the worst-case scenario won't be much worse! The worst I can do is surrender to the Supreme Sensing Sect. No matter what happens, you can use the cross-border teleportation array to travel to other worlds. Anyway, The escape route is ready."
"You kid, you are very open-minded. You have all the nice things to say." Zhao Xuanjing shook his head and joked: "Okay, let's not talk about these disappointing things. Come on, let me read this latest thing I wrote. How about an immortal seal?"
As he spoke, he took out a jade slip made of top-quality spiritual jade from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Sheng.
Zhao Sheng took it, and with a thought, he instantly read the information contained in the jade slip. A three-dimensional immortal seal with thousands of strokes and curved teeth immediately appeared in his mind.
"Yes, the nodes of the pattern are precise, the divine will is coherent, and the Tao essence flows at the intersection of twists and turns. It can barely be ranked among the outstanding!"
Listening to Zhao Sheng's comments, Zhao Xuanjing couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This immortal seal script is really difficult to learn. If it weren't for the silk script that I can learn from, I'm afraid it would be difficult to write a single character even after half a month of learning."
Zhao Sheng said in a deep voice: "The Immortal Seal Script is originally written by immortals, and it is extremely difficult to write it on paper. It is very difficult for us to learn it even if we are in the state of becoming gods, and it is even more difficult for others to even think about it. I can't even see clearly below the Yuan Ying, let alone Remember, this kind of high-level Taoist literature is destined to be highbrow and obscure, second only to the true Taoist literature in terms of obscurity!"
"Speaking of the true text of the Great Dao. I have been practicing hard for three thousand years, but by chance I "found" the word "" from Xiao Jin. The true text is like "Lei" or "LE", which means to accumulate a lot of soil and build a mountain. "
Zhao Xuanjing's face showed some distress: "It's a pity that the true text of the Great Dao has no words and cannot be spoken. Moreover, the gold plate that carries the true text of the Great Dao, "Jian", cannot bear the true text of the Earth Element. I have tried my best over the years but have not been able to find anything that can carry the Tao. If I can't pass down this word, I will be in trouble all my life.
! "
Zhao Sheng's thoughts turned and he smiled slightly and said: "Ancestor, there is no need to be anxious. If my grandson guessed correctly, when the mountain dragon transforms into a real dragon, the real dragon skin it sheds is the best to carry the true text of the great road. Object."
Hearing this, Zhao Xuanjing slapped his thigh fiercely: "Haha, that's it! I'm in the mountains, so I can't see clearly.
Hey, I suddenly became interested, and my dear grandson quickly taught me the new immortal seal script. "
Seeing Zhao Xuanjing's face full of interest, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but smile. He erased the old seal script on the jade slip and "wrote" a new three-dimensional immortal seal script with his spiritual thoughts.
Having said that, he still feels that it is a pity that the Zhao family in Nantian is not lucky enough!
He clearly possesses the immortal-level magical skill "The Great and Small Ruyi Immortal Technique", but due to the restrictions set by the Great Sage Jinyang, he can only practice it by himself and cannot pass on this immortal technique to future generations.
As a last resort, Zhao Sheng came up with an idea to disassemble the immortal seals one by one, and then slowly teach them to Zhao Xuanjing.
After half a day, Zhao Xuanjing forcibly memorized all the three-dimensional configurations of the immortal seal script, and then went to figure it out on his own with great interest.
Zhao Sheng walked to the side of the ascension platform and sat down cross-legged. After taking a bottle of elixir, he began to exercise and adjust his breath.
After three hundred years of arduous voyage, he had long been exhausted and almost fell into the state of becoming a god.
Without three to five years of cultivation, he would never have fully recovered.
One month goes by in a blink of an eye.
At dawn that day, the sun was rising, and the sunlight was shining on the ascension platform.
To the west of the square, the flames all over Zhao Sheng's body gradually disappeared, and then he slowly opened his eyes, and a deep divine light flashed away in his eyes.
He raised his right hand and put it in front of his eyes. His eyes fell on the palm. With a slight movement of his mind, he saw a layer of watery brilliance suddenly appear in the palm of his hand. This was the light of the will of the cell.
Immediately afterwards, a ray of red gold mana flowed from the Taiyin Lung Meridian of the hand to the palm, and suddenly emerged from the palm.
As soon as the mana and the radiance of will came into contact, the water and liquid immediately melted together.
The next second, the red gold mana actually gained an indescribable edge, as if some mysterious qualitative change had occurred.
Zhao Sheng's eyes flickered, and with a thought in his mind, he saw a fist-sized, round, blazing white fireball suddenly appear in his palm.
With a slight throw, the fireball flew lightly into the air, and then hung steadily in the air, without any sign of falling!
Seeing this scene, Zhao Sheng nodded slightly with satisfaction. He didn't add any external force to the fireball.
It maintains its form by its own power alone.
Immediately afterwards, Zhao Sheng opened his left hand, and suddenly there was an identical blazing white fireball in his hand.
It is also transformed by a ray of mana, but this one does not have the blessing of the radiance of will.
Then, he threw the fireball casually, causing it to levitate side by side with the previous one.
Ignoring them for the time being, Zhao Sheng's right hand flashed with light, and there was a milky white jade slip in the shape of a wat plate.
Zhao Sheng's expression was solemn, a dazzling light flashed between his eyebrows, and powerful spiritual thoughts poured into the jade slip continuously, quickly extracting the information recorded in it.
This jade slip records the cultivation experience of a True Lord of Return to the Void named Min Jue.
Min Jue was originally an aboriginal from the Taisu Spiritual World. Because of his good spiritual aptitude, he joined the Immortal Cultivating Sect since he was a child.
This person's early cultivation career was briefly mentioned, except that a few hundred years after Min Jue successfully broke through to the Nascent Soul Realm, his sect suddenly suffered a great change, and the entire sect was almost wiped out, except for Min Jue, who had only a few hundred people. He happened to be outside and narrowly escaped disaster.
For the next thousand years, Min Jue became a wandering cultivator, wandering around in various realms of the Taisu spiritual world.
This person had so many opportunities that he successfully broke through the level of becoming a god and became a Yuan Shen body.
However, after being promoted to the Transformation God realm, Min Jue's situation suddenly changed because he had no training experience above the Soul Transformation realm, and most importantly, he had no guidance from an expert in returning to the void.
Min Jue's path became stumbling, and his cultivation speed plummeted.
Even in the Taisu Spiritual Realm, how to advance and return to the void is an undisclosed secret of the major immortal sects.
Coupled with the existence of the Great Dao Oath, not to mention casual cultivators like Min Jue, even second- and third-rate immortal cultivating sects cannot know the secret of returning to the void.
Then...how did Min Jue get promoted to return to the void?
Zhao Sheng pulled out a pile of jade slips from the Xumi Ring, the contents of which were all the man's complaints and more unpleasant curses.
In order to be promoted to return to the void, Min Jue took the initiative to join the Situ family of the eternal family in the Taisu spiritual world. After voluntarily selling himself as a slave, he received a return to the void pill from his master.
The highest success rate for the breakthrough of the Void Return Pill is only 10%, but Min Jue actually succeeded in one fell swoop. It can be said that he is extremely lucky!
It's a pity that this person has only been back to the virtual world for three thousand years, and he "carelessly" fell into the devil's mouth.
It's just that... Zhao Sheng looked through all the jade slips he left behind, and vaguely realized that Min Jue had most likely betrayed the Situ family, so he fled the Taisu Spiritual World in a hurry.
Later, the oath he had made in his early years broke out, causing the man to be seriously injured and dying. Only then did the devil's fungus gain a big advantage.
Zhao Sheng was not interested in this person's life of being both lucky and unlucky. He just wanted to figure out how to practice after becoming a god, and the most important thing was to break through the mystery of returning to the void.
By repeatedly reading the jade slips, Zhao Sheng has generally confirmed that the practice during the transformation stage has not changed much. However, the lack of high-level skills has caused the practice speed to be too slow. efficiency.
It's a pity that he ultimately failed to find out from the jade slips how to break through and return to the void.
However, although Min Jue was promoted and returned to the void in a confused way, through his own experience, he very definitely pointed out in the Jade Slips of his experience that the key to breaking through the transformation of the spirit and returning to the void lies in how to "unify the essence, energy and spirit for the second time."
The first "union of essence, energy and spirit" refers to the stage when a cultivator advances from foundation building to golden elixir.
And at the stage of becoming a god. Min Jue once pointed out: "Shen is the soul, Qi is the magic power, but "jing" refers to the will of the cell! "
It’s so easy to harmonize God and Qi!
The most difficult thing is how to incorporate the cellular will into one's own cultivation system, or to be precise, how to "refine" the instinctive will of the cell.
In the jade slips of his experience, Min Jue regretfully mentioned many times that he had forcibly "refined" his own cellular will with the help of the power of elixirs, which was tantamount to severing his own path.
The Void Returning Pill is a great help, but it is actually hidden in evil. It's just that there is a ray of powerful will in the Fusion Realm hidden in the pill.
With the help of the power of the Fusion Realm to "subdue" the will of one's own cells, one's physical body will undoubtedly be "stamped with the will of others".
If this mark of will is not removed, the person who takes the elixir will never return to the early stage of virtual recovery.
When he learned this big secret, Zhao Sheng couldn't help but break into a cold sweat. He felt that the environment in the spiritual world was too dangerous, and the level of sinisterness and evil was far greater than that in the lower world.
A "foreign native" like him who comes from the lower world and has very shallow knowledge has almost no chance of knowing the secret of the Return to the Void Pill.
He could imagine that the Void Returning Pill was obviously a bottomless pit, but there were countless true kings from the lower realms who were eager for this pill and would even sacrifice everything for it.
Even if some "grassroots" are very lucky to break through the realm of returning to the void, they may be kept in the dark their whole lives, completely unaware that they have stopped returning to the void. It is not because they did not work hard enough, but because they were artificially interrupted at the beginning. path.
Zhao Sheng was not unlucky. He happened to learn this big secret during the stage of becoming a god, thus avoiding a big detour in the future.
Min Jue recorded a lot of tips on "refining" the will of the cells in his jade slips, but he was not very specific about how to "unify the essence, energy and spirit for the second time." Contradictions.
Fortunately, Zhao Sheng lived for seven lifetimes and was extremely knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Combining his own cultivation experience, he roughly sorted out a relatively credible cultivation path.
A cultivator's journey of cultivation begins with Qi refining. After advancing to the foundation level, Zifu's spiritual consciousness will be self-generated and he will be able to look inside the internal organs.
When the golden elixir is broken through, the small world of the human body merges into one for the first time, and is able to condense into the golden elixir.
At this time, Jindan Zhenren's spiritual consciousness was even more powerful, and his whole body's meridians, bones, blood vessels, network and other organs and tissues were fully visible in his mind.
arrive
At the Nascent Soul stage, a cultivator's spiritual consciousness transforms into divine thoughts, and he can already vaguely perceive the existence of Yuan cells.
A very small number of talented people can clearly sense the cells in their body even in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
But the vast majority of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators don’t know the importance of the Yuan Cell, so they don’t care about it.
Even at the stage of the Soul Transformation Realm, almost all Soul Transformation True Lords are indifferent to the "incomparably small" cells. They only care about the improvement of soul and mana.
Even the "lucky ones" like Zhao Xuanjing, who awakened their cellular will early, are still unable to connect it with the return to the void, and often ignore it in confusion.
Zhao Sheng didn't know much about other colleagues, and he didn't know yet whether the self-awakening of the will of the cells among True Monarch Transformation of Gods was a common phenomenon.
But he guessed that this situation should be extremely rare
He and Zhao Xuanjing are exceptions, because both of them are third-level cultivators of legal body martial arts, and their martial arts cultivation has also broken through to the realm of martial saints.
The prerequisite for becoming a Martial Saint is to awaken the light of will in the physical body.
Generally speaking, other gods will not learn "mortal martial arts". Even if they practice physical training, they will prefer physical training. They will not "ask for trouble" to pursue the martial arts that is as difficult as climbing to the sky. the road.
