Shouzheng looked at Tai Miao in front of him, his mind was racing with complicated thoughts.
Ever since he entered the underworld and transformed into a ghost and god, he has never relaxed in his cultivation.
He thought that he had accumulated experience during his lifetime, had extraordinary knowledge, and had received guidance from the Void Returning Power.
Even if you become a ghost or god, you can still make continuous progress and break through to higher levels.
Before he lost his body, Shouzheng was already a great monk in the later stage of Yuanshen.
After transforming into a ghost, his strength plummeted.
He spent a lot of time and energy practicing, and finally returned to the strength of the late Yuan Shen.
After that, the progress of cultivation became slower and slower, becoming less and less obvious.
Thousands of years have passed, and he is still stuck in the late stage of Yuan Shen, and has never been able to break through to the level of Yang Shen stage.
He tried every means and tried many methods, but could not change this result.
The lifespan of ghosts and gods also has a limit.
The lifespan of a monk in the Yuanshen stage will not exceed two thousand years. After transforming into a ghost or god, his lifespan will increase to a certain extent.
Shouzheng is almost five thousand years old and will reach the end of his lifespan soon.
He has already used many methods to extend his life, and basically can no longer extend his life.
As an acquired ghost and god, he is already considered to have lived a long life.
His ghostly body began to decay, his strength began to weaken, and he had lost the possibility of impacting the Yangshen level.
Being upright now is just hanging on for a while, and one more day of survival is one day.
Shouzheng remembered that Tai Miao had not taken refuge with Meng Zhang for too long.
When he came into contact with Tai Miao before, Tai Miao could not reach the Yuan Shen level.
He would never have imagined that Tai Miao would now become a strong man at the Yangshen level.
If Shouzheng had such an opportunity and could advance to the Yangshen level, his lifespan could be greatly extended instead of sitting here waiting for the end of his life.
For a moment, Shouzheng stared blankly at Tai Miao, his heart filled with jealousy and envy.
There was a wave of spiritual thoughts in front of Tai Miao, and Meng Zhang's illusory image appeared.
Meng Zhang's body cannot enter the underworld, but he can divide his spiritual thoughts and let a ray of his spiritual thoughts follow Tai Miao here.
Distracting one's mind into thoughts is not a rare method. Meng Zhang's ray of spirit transformed into a form, manifesting this phantom.
Seeing Meng Zhang's shadow appear, Shouzheng finally reacted and saluted Meng Zhang.
This gift is not only a tribute to the identity of the head of Meng Zhang, but also a respect for the great power of returning to the void.
Although there was only a wisp of spiritual thought here, Meng Zhang was so discerning that he could understand Shouzheng's specific state with just one glance.
Meng Zhang sighed.
There was nothing he could do about Shouzheng's current situation.
Even if the power of returning to void is vast, it cannot reverse the law of life and death.
Meng Zhang guessed Shouzheng's thoughts.
It's not that he is unwilling to support Shouzheng to advance to the Yangshen level, but there is really no better way.
The advancement of ghosts and gods is much more difficult than the advancement of human monks.
Acquired ghosts and gods like Shouzheng are shackled by innateness, and the late stage of Yuan Shen is almost the end of cultivation.
Tai Miao is in a special situation. As the incarnation of Meng Zhang, he has too many unrepeatable qualities to successfully advance to the Yangshen stage.
Meng Zhang was not prepared to reveal the secret that Tai Miao was his own incarnation, so he did not explain anything.
Shouzheng was in a daze for a while, not knowing what he was thinking about.
It took him a while to react.
There is great terror between life and death, and a person as determined and experienced as him is not immune to it.
The end of his life gave him many thoughts that he shouldn't have.
Fortunately, he was born in an authentic Taoist sect such as Taiyi Sect. Even after being transformed into a ghost and god, he still maintained a Taoist heart.
After experiencing complex ideological struggles, his original intention came into play. Loyalty and attachment to the sect prevailed.
Taiyi Sect has a successor and has been revived.
With Meng Zhang's ability to return to the void, Taiyi Sect's future is limitless.
With Meng Zhang's ability, he would definitely be able to control that Yang Shen stage ghost.
The ghosts and gods in the Yang Shen stage are out-and-out overlords in the underworld, capable of running rampant for a while.
The Taiyi Sect in the Yang world is prosperous, and there are subordinates like Tai Miao in the underworld, which can be said to be perfect.
Shouzheng felt that he could let go of everything.
The inheritance he established in the underworld, as well as some of the arrangements made by the Taiyi Sect in the underworld, can be slowly handed over.
Shou has been operating in the underworld for many years and has conquered many acquired ghosts and powerful ghosts.
If it were in the past, it might still be difficult to get these guys with different ideas to unconditionally surrender to the Taiyi Sect and serve the Taiyi Sect wholeheartedly in the future.
But if Tai Miao comes forward, subduing them shouldn't be a problem.
After thinking everything through, Shouzheng no longer held any reservations, and began to explain everything honestly, and handed over all the funeral arrangements to Meng Zhang.
Shouzheng's attitude was very different from before. He suddenly became so frank, which surprised Meng Zhangdu.
He had already guessed that he had achieved the stage of returning to the void, and that he had advanced to the Yangshen level too wonderfully, which was enough to overwhelm Shouzheng, the acquired ghost and god.
But Shouzheng completely surrendered so quickly and cooperated so actively, which was beyond his expectation.
No matter what, maintaining such an attitude is a good thing.
We can achieve Meng Zhang's goal without hurting our harmony.
As for the legacy Shou Zheng left behind in the underworld, as well as some arrangements left by the Taiyi Sect back then, that was even more of an unexpected surprise.
Meng Zhang even felt a little guilty and embarrassed in his heart.
He had been estranged from Shouzheng because of some things in the past, and he didn't trust this senior in the sect enough.
Now it seems that the senior Shouzheng has been loyal to Taiyi Sect from the beginning to the end and puts the interests of Taiyi Sect first.
Even if his life is about to end, what he thinks of is to protect the interests of the sect and leave everything to the sect.
Shouzheng and Meng Zhang chatted for a long time, fully explaining almost every detail, as if they had completely handed over the funeral arrangements.
Whether it was his knowledge, the various news he knew, or the various situations of the Taiyi Sect during its heyday, the various arrangements left behind...
He didn't hide anything at all, he told everything completely.
What he said answered some of Meng Zhang's doubts and benefited Meng Zhang a lot.
Next, Taimiao also called his trusted subordinates into the hall, asking them to surrender to Taimiao and obey Taimiao's command in the future.
Tai Miao only showed a little bit of Yangshen level cultivation, and it shocked these guys.
Taimiao is not a complete natural ghost, but he possesses many qualities of a natural ghost.
When he revealed a few hints of the aura of natural ghosts and gods, he completely suppressed these acquired ghosts and ghosts, making them unable to resist.
