Looking inside at Qinglian in the divine sea, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but fall silent.
Looking at the old Taoist priest, he said: "The old monk in the temple said that all the magic power that the disciples have learned will one day be lost, so why should I work hard to practice this Buddhist mental method?"
“What’s the point of having an epiphany if I never reach the other side?”
For him, the road to Buddhism on Mount Sumeru was cut off, and he was destined to become a non-Buddhist disciple.
The old Taoist priest looked at him and sighed softly, and replied: "If you think of the obstacle in front of you as a big water tank, do you have to have the strength to smash the water tank first?"
Li Xiuyuan was stunned. He didn't expect the old Taoist priest to explain to him like this.
If the way of the mind wants to defeat Wuhua in Mount Sumeru, wouldn’t it mean that the formless golden body must be cultivated to perfection?
However, if I really cultivate the formless golden body to perfection, will I be able to let it go when the time comes?
Is it possible that, as Brother Minghui said, only by letting go can one attain enlightenment?
I wonder how many monks in the world can let go of their lifelong cultivation?
The old Taoist priest looked at the disciple in front of him and said with a smile: "If you want to see the scenery that you have longed for, don't you have to climb that peak? If you haven't even climbed the mountain, how can you give up?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and sighed: "Master, you want your disciple to climb to the top and then knock him down the mountain. Are you going to be so cruel?"
The old Taoist priest was amused and said with a smile: "Then do you want to continue practicing, or do you want to try to understand the power of those laws in the future?"
Li Xiuyuan grimaced and did not reply.
"Practice is like climbing different mountains. Each stage is different. Is it possible that you want to reach the sky in one step?
The old Taoist priest continued: "Don't say you don't understand these principles, otherwise you are not worthy of being my disciple!"
"Master, you are being unreasonable!"
Li Xiuyuan shouted: "This disciple is feeling bitter. This old monk threw a jade plate to the disciple and then threw a baggage to the disciple. The disciple is not a disciple of Buddhism..."
"But you are practicing Buddhist techniques, with Buddha's blood flowing in your body, and Buddha's bones in your body..."
The old Taoist priest yawned, looked at him and said with a smile: "The road ahead is long for you. Don't back down when you encounter a little trouble. Remember that you are a proud disciple of your master, and you have no way out!"
Waving his hand, a golden light appeared, and the old Taoist priest disappeared in front of Li Xiuyuan.
"Don't bother me if you have nothing to do, I'm very busy..." The voice of the old Taoist priest came in my mind.
Li Xiuyuan turned over in his sleep and muttered: "Master, don't leave..."
Li Xiuyuan in the cave was still murmuring in his dream. The mountains and rivers outside the cave had changed overnight.
Under the divine light of the Pure World Green Lotus, combined with the silver moonlight in the sky, the mountains, rivers and rivers that were pierced by the war between gods and demons ten thousand years ago were restored to their original appearance overnight.
The ancient trees in the mountains became more and more lush, with countless green leaves sprouting from their branches... Countless spiritual fruits blossomed and bore fruit overnight, covering the branches...
The exotic flowers and plants in the mountains emit a faint fragrance, floating on the rivers in the mountains.
The spiritual herbs and elixirs that had been buried underground for tens of millions of years also grew wildly overnight...
There are millions of light spots like stars slowly flying from the earth to the sky...
The resentful souls that have been entangled here for thousands of years and refused to ascend and reincarnate finally quietly left when the mountains and rivers were restored...
The cause of all this was that the green lotus in Li Xiuyuan's body grew an extra petal during his sleep.
After decades of care by him and the power of creation from the old Taoist priest, the thirty-second-grade Qinglian finally evolved to the thirty-third grade.
Li Xiuyuan in the dream didn't know, and the old Taoist priest in the dream didn't tell him.
Li Xiuyuan was completely unaware of what was going on outside of him, and was struggling in his dreams whether he should let go, and whether he could let it go.
...
Only one night had passed in the cave, and a month had passed in the real Shura battlefield.
From early spring to mid-spring, the sky is filled with catkins, peach blossoms are blooming, the few apricot trees outside the cave are also covered with green fruits, and the wild flowers in the mountain weeds are blooming.
The two guys who couldn't sleep in the cave opened their eyes.
"What exactly is going on?"
After waking up, Li Xiuyuan came to the small river outside the cave, sat under the apricot tree, looked at the green apricots hanging all over the tree, and thought that the mountains and rivers here were still broken last night...
Why does it take on a new look after one night?
Long Hongchen, who rubbed his eyes and walked out of the cave, shouted: "Brother, Long Hongchen is about to starve to death. It feels like he has been sleeping for a whole year!"
Li Xiuyuan pulled him to sit down next to him, pointed at the green apricots on the tree and said with a smile: "Brother, we slept for a long time, I have already passed half of the spring!"
Long Hongchen nodded, scratched his head and said with a smile: "Long Hongchen had a lot of dreams... In the last dream, there was an extra egg in his stomach. Is brother Long Hongchen about to lay an egg?"
Li Xiuyuan was shocked, reached out and held his little hand, and quietly explored his body.
After just a moment, he laughed and said: "That's not bad, you just took a nap, and when you wake up, you will be in the golden elixir realm!"
Xiao Longer's cultivation level was above the Nine Heavens. He didn't expect that Long Hongchen would break through the golden elixir in the lower realm. It seemed that this guy was doing it because of himself.
Long Hongchen looked at him and asked in confusion: "Is the Golden Core Realm very powerful, brother?"
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and went to the river to wash up and fetch water. He wanted to boil water to make porridge. After all, the two of them had been hungry for a month and had to fill their stomachs first.
"For Long Hongchen, the Golden Core Realm is very powerful... Regarding the cultivation, I will tell you slowly in a few days!"
Li Xiuyuan thought about it, now that this guy has reached the realm of golden elixir, he can be allowed to practice with Sword Twenty-One when he leaves the Shura battlefield.
Long Hongchen took off his clothes and jumped into the river to play in the water.
While shouting loudly: "Brother, Long Hongchen seems to be much stronger! This place has become a place where gods live overnight."
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "We will stay here for about ten days, pick some elixirs to temper your body, and then leave."
Looking around with his eyes, he saw different elixirs everywhere. He thought they were the elixirs he brought to a group of friends in the five realms. I'm afraid they were all enough.
After playing for half an hour, Li Xiuyuan shouted: "It's time to come up and eat. When you're full, you can practice swordplay!"
After playing enough, he felt even hungrier. Long Hongchen saw Li Xiuyuan take out the table and chairs and put them on the table, and quickly put the cooked porridge on the table.
Holding the hot meat porridge, Long Hongchen said excitedly: "It's a pity that Sister Xiao Long'er and the others are not here. It's so fun here."
Li Xiuyuan's eyes were silently staring at the green apricot trees, thinking that when he came to Shura battlefield, he could eat something he had never eaten on Luoxia Mountain.
It's incredible.
Seeing that the Shura battlefield was about to end, I got an encounter in spring.
Just like what Long Hongchen said, if Xiao Long'er came along, maybe she would like the thick spring scenery more.
"After you finish the porridge, go and practice your sword by yourself. I'm going to find you some elixir to temper your body. Do you understand?"
Looking at Long Hongchen, who was even more evil than himself, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but laugh.
Spring morning.
Li Xiuyuan and Long Hongchen stood under the cliff, staring at the bare stone wall in a daze, wondering if the "卍" had really entered his body?
Is that a Buddhist scripture that has been here for thousands of years?
The man who touched Long Hongchen's head pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "Long Hongchen, if you start from here, how long will it take to climb to the top of the mountain?"
Long Hongchen raised his head and looked up, murmuring: "My brother is so tall, it will take him a whole day, right?"
Li Xiuyuan smiled and said seriously: "I will give you three hours today. If you can't come back here before that time, you won't be allowed to eat today."
Looking at the top of the mountain that was not far away from his feet, Long Hongchen shouted: "Brother, are you too unreasonable and want to torture Long Hongchen?"
Li Xiuyuan ignored his scoundrel statement. He waved his hand and Long Hongchen, who was standing next to him, flew up the mountain with a roar like a big bird.
"Brother, you are committing murder!"
The moment Long Hongchen flew out, he roared with all his strength.
However, Li Xiuyuan's laughter came from the air: "You are already a dragon, just fly! This... although it is a bit high, it won't kill you."
Listening to these words, Long Hongchen seemed a little confused. He used the power of the dragon between life and death, slightly stopped his falling speed, and then climbed up with all his strength.
With the help of the old Taoist priest, he staggered up to the top of the mountain like a little stupid dragon with the realm of Long Hongchen Shenlong.
Li Xiuyuan, who was standing at the bottom of the mountain, looked at Long Hongchen who was running up and murmured: "Since you have become my younger brother, you must be prepared to endure hardships."
Long Hongchen, who was climbing, could not feel the joy of being a little dragon at all, because no matter how hard he tried, he could not fly like little dragon'er.
Because he was afraid of falling down the mountain!
When the sun in the sky shone above his head, Long Hongchen, who had sweated so much, finally saw the top of the mountain...
My brother was too cruel. He just waved his hand and threw himself up the mountain. The distance of several hundred feet... still required me three hours to get back.
Brother, are you trying to kill Long Hongchen?
Throw me to death. I'll see where you go to find another Shenlong brother.
However, the falling force was as fast as thunder and lightning, which did not allow him to be distracted by his thoughts.
I climbed up desperately, and finally stood on the cliff when the sun was shining. I looked up and saw that my brother standing at the bottom of the mountain had become a little ant.
However, he didn't dare to play, he just wanted to go back quickly. He clearly remembered his brother's words that he should rush back to the mountain to eat before the end of the day, otherwise he would starve.
By the time he exhausted all his strength and returned halfway, half an hour had passed.
He didn't even dare to stop for a moment and rolled down the mountain. He also knew that his brother was training him. This was a test of iron and fire, torture and hard work.
Even when he was tortured by his uncles in the eyes of the devil, it didn't make him despair like this.
He didn't even have time to check the wounds on his body, he just wanted to return to his brother as soon as possible because he wanted to become stronger.
Keep stimulating the true energy in your body and go down the mountain without risking your life.
He even saw his brother sitting in the river cooking a pot of meat and waiting for him to go back and start eating. He had just eaten breakfast and was very hungry again.
At this time, as long as a monster comes, it can kill him.
Walking through the woods, I didn't care that my clothes were torn by the branches in the forest, and I had no intention of admiring the wild flowers in the mountains and the wild fruits that were already hanging on the branches.
There were only two words in his mind: If I fight you, Long Hongchen will eat meat.
Li Xiuyuan, who was sitting by the river cooking meat, released his consciousness and locked onto Long Hongchen, who was running down the cliff.
"Brother, with your speed, any beast in the mountains can easily defeat you."
"Didn't you eat something in the morning? You are now a divine dragon in the Golden Core Realm. Hurry up, hurry up."
"Are you thinking that you won't be able to climb again today? Come on, you only have half an hour left."
As Long Hongchen was running, his brother's voice came to his ears.
Long Hongchen frowned slightly and shouted desperately: "Brother, do you want to murder Long Hongchen like uncle and the others?"
"Do you want to be a bullied Long Twenty-one all your life? You are Long Hongchen! You want to be a legend in the world!"
Li Xiuyuan gently stirred the meat in the pot and replied quietly.
