"Return to the ruins." Gu Xu said this word silently in his mind.
In all the Dahuang cultivation classics he had read, this word had never appeared before.
But the moment he heard it, he felt that it seemed to have a mysterious Taoist charm, which instantly cleared away some of the clouds in his heart and vaguely glimpsed some of the reality of the world.
"Is this what the upper realm says?" He asked the weapon spirit.
"So be it," the weapon spirit replied, "there is "Yu Jing" in the upper realm, and "Gui Xu" in the lower realm. Yujing is the pinnacle of all things, and Guixu is the destination of all things.
"Whether you ascend to the "Yu Jing" or step into the "Guixu", you can reach the end of the avenue. "
"You mean," Gu Xu frowned slightly, ""Guixu" is not just a place name, but also a state of practice? "
"As the heir to the emperor, you don't know this?" The weapon spirit opened his eyes wide and looked at him with surprise.
Gu Xu shrugged and replied: "In our practice system, the highest state is called the 'immortal path'. As long as you survive the catastrophe, you can ascend to the upper world and become an immortal immortal."
"Of course, you should know that this is a scam."
"Haha, it's indeed a scam," Qi Ling chuckled, "That guy from "Tai Shang Haotian" couldn't even make up a lie so well that it doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
"The upper world and the lower world are two equal worlds. There is no distinction between high and low. How can there be such a thing as ascension?"
"A level world?"
"In the cultivation system of the upper realm, there are nine realms in total," Qi Ling touched his chin and introduced to Gu Xu, "their names are called "Yanhuoshan", "Weowishuihe", and "Kunlun Qiu". , "Langfeng Peak", "Xuanpu Garden", "Tianyong City", "Qionghua Palace", "Nine Heavens Realm" and "Jade Capital".
"The nine realms of the lower realm are called "Guimen Pass", "Ruoshui River", "Naihe Bridge", "Wangxiang Terrace", "Meng Po Pavilion", "Fengdu Gate", "Yam Luo Temple", "Nine Nether Prison", "Return to the ruins".
"The names of these realms are different, and the true essence is different, but they are essentially the same, and the intensity can also be matched one by one.
"Only one person in each world can reach the highest realms like "Yu Jing" and "Guixu". Once you achieve this, you become the master of the world, able to formulate the rules of this world and manipulate the cause and effect of this world at will. "
The realm of "Returning to Ruins" does sound much more reasonable than "The Path to Immortality".
Gu Xu thought silently.
The monks in the upper realm climbed up step by step along the Kunlun Heavenly Stairs, while the monks in the lower realm followed the road to the underworld and gradually descended deeper into the underworld.
Up to the capital of the Emperor of Heaven, the source of all transformations in the universe.
Down to the bottomless valley, where the waters gather.
Unknowingly, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he vaguely guessed something: "When "Tai Shang Haotian" and "Emperor Zi Wei" parted ways and turned against each other, was it to achieve this unique and supreme state? "
"You are so smart, you are worthy of being my master!" The weapon spirit flattered hypocritically, and then continued, "You should know that the eighth realm is a very special realm, because it is divided into nine small realms - Part 1 There are "nine heavens" in the upper world and "nine hells" in the lower world.
"Back then, both 'Tai Shang Haotian' and 'Emperor Zi Wei' had reached the ninth level of the 'Nine Heavens Realm', and they were just one step away from entering the 'Jade Capital'.
"But because only one person can achieve the realm of "Yu Jing".
"So they made an agreement to find a new world where both of them would have the opportunity to advance.
"They traveled through the void and found the "underworld", which is the vast wilderness where you are.
"You may have guessed by now that the key to advancing to the realm of "Jade Capital" lies in the power of incense - after all, water can carry a boat and capsize it. If you want to control the rules of a world, you need to obtain the hair of the creatures of this world. Inner recognition.
"At that time, "Tai Shang Haotian" suddenly discovered that if he could obtain the power of incense from two worlds, then after he advanced to the realm of "Jade Capital", he would be better than someone who only relied on one world.
The power of incense is even more powerful.
"So he chose to betray the agreement with "Emperor Ziwei".
"You should already know what happened next."
Gu Xu nodded.
"Then you know that "Tai Shang Haotian" has now advanced to the realm of Yujing? "After a brief silence, he asked again.
"I don't think so yet," Qi Ling thought for a moment and replied, "Tai Shang Haotian" has always pursued perfection. Before taking back the incense of the entire wilderness, he should not easily try to break through. "
Having said this, he paused, stared into Gu Xu's eyes and asked, "Do you know what your chances of winning against him are?"
"Where?"
"You must use the incense of the wilderness to reach the realm of "Return to the Ruins" before "Tai Shang Haotian" ascends to "Jade Capital". ” Qi Ling said slowly and seriously.
""Tai Shang Haotian" has spent thousands of years, but he has not been able to advance to the "Jade Capital" realm," Gu Xu frowned and said, "I have only practiced for about a year, do you think I will be better than him when I break through the realm?" Faster?"
"You are not an ordinary fourth-level monk," Qi Ling said with a smile, "You have the foundation left to you by "Emperor Ziwei."
""Tai Shang Haotian" spent a lot of effort, but could not completely erase the traces of the existence of "Emperor Ziwei". It could only make up a god with "one body and two sides" to seize the incense of "Emperor Ziwei" .
"Besides, you are still the "God of Fire" in the eyes of the people of Youzhou.
"Looking at the entire wilderness, no one is more qualified than you to enter the "Return to Ruins" realm. "
Gu Xu shook his head gently.
Now he not only had to prepare to deal with Emperor Tianxing, but also had to break through the situation quickly to deal with "Tai Shang Haotian".
He just felt a lot of pressure.
"Then do you know why I was able to obtain the authority of the "Vulcan God"? He thought for a moment and then asked, "Is it because of the "Hui Lu" rune I once obtained?" "
"You made this yourself, how do I know?" Qi Ling spread his hands, "If you ask me, who should I ask?"
At this time, the boat was very close to the waterfall.
Its smaller half hangs in the air.
Looking down, you can see the constantly evaporating water vapor and the deep, dark abyss that cannot be seen to the bottom at a glance.
Gu Xu took a deep breath.
He did not choose to fall with the boat, but jumped with the astrolabe in his arms.
Logically speaking, as a fourth-level monk, he has the ability to fly with a weapon. He can control the speed and fall slowly along the waterfall without worrying about falling to pieces.
But strangely, his ability to fly completely failed.
The valley below seemed to have an inexplicable gravitational pull, pulling him downwards at a constant speed.
He tried the "Wind Talisman" and the "Astrolabe" for short-distance teleportation, but he was unable to escape the free fall situation.
At this time, the weapon spirit was seen standing on the "astrolabe" against the roaring wind, chanting the words recorded in ancient books: "Return to the ruins", the bottomless valley. The water of the eight rivers and nine fields, the currents of heaven and man, are all poured into it, without increasing or decreasing.
"You have to know that the reason why you fall is not because of gravity, but because of the law, because it is the "result of all causes", the "place where all things come together", and the destination that all living beings will surely reach.
"Understand the profound meaning of the great road here, Master. This is very important for your future advancement."
