There is a saying that "one who attains the Tao becomes an immortal".
In terms of sequence, it is to "achieve the Tao" first and then "become an immortal".
Just four words, but there are many descriptions and explanations in Taoist books. We strive to help those who come after us to understand the most critical step for monks from a cognitive level.
Now that Zhang Yan was sitting cross-legged on the rooftop, he had just experienced these four words personally. So much so that he fell into this feeling for a long time and could not come back to his senses, and almost let the three-eyed clan use the space shuttle array to trick him.
Fortunately, at the last moment, the warning in his heart made him come back to his senses, and he forcibly cut off the space rules created by the opponent's formation, and then used the counter-shock to shatter the opponent's formation base. After that, he got out of trouble smoothly.
This power, which is beyond the scope of their understanding in the eyes of the Three-Eyed Clan, is not too difficult for Zhang Yan today.
As for the back. The reason why Zhang Yan made no further moves was because he didn't think the opponent could run away. As for the rules of space, Zhang Yan knew how to play them before, but now he plays them better than before. He might not be able to reach the opposite edge if he wants to, but if we just talk about the space rules in the Desolate Heaven Realm, no one else can defeat him except the disciples of the Desolate Heaven Realm.
Want to run? You have to ask Zhang Yan whether he agrees or not.
Because there is a huge difference between Zhang Yan today and him before. Even if it is just a realm barrier. The span is even greater than the time it took to condense the soul.
No wonder Taoist books use the word "immortal" to distinguish the past.
Stepping into the realm of human immortality, from now on, immortals and mortals are on separate sides.
Before becoming an immortal, even the so-called half-immortal in the Tongxuan Realm would not be able to understand what Zhang Yan was feeling at this moment.
Immortals and humans are really completely different.
If you really want to describe it, Zhang Yan feels that there is no difference between himself and this world at this moment. He is no longer "an ant between heaven and earth" but has become "a part" of heaven and earth.
However, the immortal energy, which was previously only cost-effective when used to nourish the physical body but was at a disadvantage when used to perform spells, has a new use: immortal magic.
Even the Wanxiang Pearl, which had not seen any new changes for many years, also underwent new changes from the moment Zhang Yan entered the realm of immortality.
I don't know whether the Wanxiang Pearl was passed down by the predecessors who became immortals in Longhu Mountain, or whether it itself came from the immortals, but was later acquired by Longhu Mountain and became the treasure of the town sect.
These are all new things and require Zhang Yan to spend time and effort to slowly ponder and study them.
On the contrary, it was a fixed process that required calming down and laying a solid foundation for every breakthrough in the past. This time, to Zhang Yan's surprise, it was not necessary.
Because I was stacking building blocks before, each new building block needed to be kept straight with the building blocks below so that it could be stacked higher. Otherwise, a slight deviation may turn into an irreversible error in the future, causing all efforts to collapse when it is irreparable.
But now that Zhang Yan has become an immortal, he finds that he is on the ground beneath his feet, a brand-new foundation, and he is now the new first building block.
The Thirty-nine Heavenly Tribulation completely reshaped Zhang Yan's previous physical body and soul. From the Entraining Qi Realm to the Tongxuan Realm, Zhang Yan now looks back on the stairs. In order to be able to touch the new world that belongs to him now and belongs to the immortal. …
Zhang Yan stood up from Ying Tiantai. Only now has he finally adapted to the reality of becoming an immortal.
That’s right, it’s about adapting. A completely different feeling than before. It is not about integrating into or existing in heaven and earth, but adapting to oneself and becoming "part of heaven and earth".
"I always seem to feel a little depressed." Zhang Yan stretched his waist, relieved by the turbid air in his chest, but also subconsciously felt uncomfortable with the inexplicable restraint all over his body.
Zhang Yan didn't have this uncomfortable feeling before. It only appeared after he set foot in the Immortal Realm. And he has understood the reason for this sense of restraint through his own insights.
Looking at the sky above his head, Zhang Yan shook his head and muttered: "It's still too low today."
Then his figure flashed and disappeared on Yingtian Terrace in the blink of an eye.
On the hillside of the cliff mountain, the disciples of the cliff mountain, who had been tense for more than half a year, were forming formations to guard the key positions of the mountain gate formation with a look of caution and a bit of confusion. I am very confused about the situation in the Cliff Mountain at this moment and the movements of the three-eyed enemies at the foot of the mountain.
What happened?
"Master, did the sect master successfully overcome the tribulation?"
Wang Nian led his men to guard the main base of the mountain gate formation, because his lineage's understanding of formations was far superior to the other two lines. While guarding, you can also do some manipulation of the formation. Of course, due to limitations of cultivation, these manipulations are very limited.
The previous peripheral exploration array had clearly reported to them that the cliff mountain was surrounded by more than ten thousand three-eyed clans. I know the situation is urgent.
But those three-eyed clans have not yet attacked. They just sent two teams of twenty people into the mountain to test. After the failure, there was nothing to follow. The disciples of Duyashan who were waiting in the mountain were filled with uneasiness.
After that, calamity clouds pressed down on the top, and then the mountains shook and the ground shook. The entire cliff mountain rose up from the ground and seemed to be swallowed by a gap in the sky.
Each of these things that made people in Duoya Mountain frightened seemed like a joke in the end. The three-eyed clan withdrew, and Duoyashan went around in the air and came back. Everything is back to where it started.
There are too many things I don’t understand, but I can still come to terms with the disciples of the Heavenly Tribulation Sect. Now the catastrophe has long dissipated. Did the sect leader succeed in overcoming the tribulation or failed?
I felt like I was successful, but I also wanted to get Master's approval.
"Don't you brat like reading powerful stories in Taoist books the most? Don't you recognize the golden light after the catastrophe? How could the master of the sect fail in the catastrophe?" Wang Nian smiled and relaxed. Because he knew very well the temper of his master, and he also understood why his master had been sealed off from the mountain before. Now the success of overcoming the tribulation must be the time for final reckoning.
"Really? What kind of cultivation level does the sect leader have now? Ouch!"
"You brat, you can ask about the master's cultivation level?" Wang Nian slapped his disciple on the back of the head. Although he was scolding, there was a smile on his face.
What is the master's current level of cultivation? Although the second-generation disciples in Duoya Mountain didn't say anything, they all knew it in their hearts. The Thirty-nine Heavenly Tribulations are the tribulations of ascending to immortality. Now the golden light of the heavenly calamity is shining, which means that an immortal is born on the cliff mountain.
That is an immortal. Nowadays, it is not an exaggeration to call Duya Mountain a "fairy mountain".
