The questions in Zhang Yan's heart are not difficult to understand in Huangtianyu. The prerequisite is just to compare the changes in Zhang Yan to the evolution of the world like him.
"The purple energy you drew merged into your Dao Dan, causing some kind of change in the Dao Dan, making it contaminated with the aura that should belong to the world. The accumulation of Hongmeng purple energy later also intensified this change. Until this time you Absorbing a large amount of the original power of the world pushed the change past the most critical hurdle in one go, so the current result was achieved..."
The evolution of the world has only direction but no details. Sometimes even direction is not necessary, just let nature take its course and whatever evolves is what it will be. To interfere or to change, this is not an action that evolution should take from the perspective of a world consciousness like the Wild Sky Realm.
Therefore, it is "normal" for Zhang Yan to be unable to control the changes in his Dao Dan, and even put himself in danger because of this.
It's just that these "normalities" will indeed appear extremely "weird" when it comes to Zhang Yan.
"Have there been any creatures similar to me in your inheritance?" Although Zhang Yan did not want to admit that he was changing into a life level like the Wild Sky Realm, he had no relevant information in his hand for his analysis. At least the current guesses put forward by Huang Tianyu are actually similar to his own guesses.
"No, if there were, seeing you in this situation would trigger my memory. Now it is still blank, which means that you are also the first special case in each inheritance in the world.
If you want to make further judgments, the best way is to try another world that allows you to drain the world's original power. See how the sea of stars in your body can change.
If the changes in the sea of stars gradually encompass your entire immortal body and soul, or are completely embedded in every inch of your soul and immortal body, then you will basically slowly become a world like mine.
If the sea of stars is still wandering, or has undergone other changes, and has always maintained its relative independence from your soul and immortal body, then you should have taken a new path that does not belong to the world level or the living being level. I really have no idea how it will evolve in the future. "
After saying this, Huang Tianyu disappeared on his own. Zhang Yan was left speechless for a long time on the terrace of Dengyun Palace, looking at the sea of clouds in front of him.
It can't be said that he is depressed, but Zhang Yan's mood is definitely quite complicated.
I thought I was cultivating immortality, but as I kept practicing, I discovered that I was not cultivating immortality, but practicing an unprecedented and weird way. It is even possible that he will have to carve out this road himself from now on, otherwise the road ahead may be gone.
"But where is my way forward?"
Before leaving, Zhang Yan found the cultivation method of Jinxian in the Wanxiang Pearl. Although there are very few methods and classics at the stage of Jinxian, there are still some that can be used as reference for Zhang Yan.
In particular, there is a relatively clear guideline for the position of Daluo after Jinxian. Let Zhang Yan, who is still like a bright light even though he has a body of dark gold, not be in the dark.
According to Taoist books, although the difference between Daluo Jinxian and Jinxian is only two more words, it is these two words that create a huge gap between Daluo Jinxian and Jinxian.
Da Luo is not simply a title, but has another meaning: immortality!
From the beginning of practice, whether it is the initial Qi-entraining realm or the Tongxuan realm, or human immortals, heavenly immortals, including golden immortals, there is actually a lifespan limit. It's just that the restrictions here are hugely different.
Those in the Qi-entraining realm can only extend their lifespan by a few decades, and those in the Tongxuan realm can only extend their lifespan by a few thousand years. After becoming an immortal, his lifespan continues to increase. It's just that the time span has been changed from "year" to "huiyuan".
But although Huiyuan is long, sometimes it is so long that the immortals themselves forget that they will die. But time is not hasty and what is supposed to come will always come.
In addition to dying, immortals also have disasters. The biggest one with the widest impact is Tiansheng.
What is Tianfa? It can be roughly understood as "plague". A terminal illness unique to immortals. No matter you are a human immortal, a celestial being, or a golden immortal, if you are unlucky enough to be targeted by the bad luck of the gods, you will die in three to five years at the earliest and more than a hundred years at the earliest.
This is fate. No matter how powerful you are, Jinxian must accept this fate.
Therefore, Da Luo is fundamentally different from Jin Xian. The essential difference is not actually external power. Power is the difference accumulated over time, and the essential difference is the immortality represented by the word Da Luo.
Not destroyed by the fall of heaven and earth, not destroyed by the decline of heaven. Immortal and eternal, he is the Daluo Golden Immortal!
】
The key to Daluo's immortality is stated in the Taoist scriptures: Only by relying on heaven's numbers, hiding in luck, avoiding disasters and catastrophes of death can one achieve immortality!
With just over twenty words, it seems simple, but it blocks ninety-nine percent of the immortals in the world from entering.
And it was when he stepped into the Golden Immortal realm and saw the Taoist classics in the Golden Immortal realm that Zhang Yan officially saw for the first time in the realm of cultivation that "fate" and "luck" fall directly on the main line of cultivation. It is completely different from the previous context of how to practice martial arts, how to realize Taoism, how to understand the rules, etc. Seems more erratic.
In fact, after seeing Jin Xian's main line of cultivation for the first time, Zhang Yan also understood a doubt that he had always had before, that is, why the people of Mingyue Valley are so keen on the art of magic and use it to determine the direction of their own power. At that time, he also felt that the people in Mingyue Valley were a little too crazy. Only after I became a Golden Immortal did I realize that this was not the brain axis of the people of Mingyue Valley, but that they were forced by the practice of the Golden Immortal to understand and practice the mysterious ways of fate and luck, so they would naturally regard the art of Yan as a treasure. .
Zhang Yan actually determined his future path based on these nine words: "Place your destiny on the heavens and hide it in your luck." Even though the Golden Immortal's body was originally dark gold, there is still an obvious trend that he can continue to follow this path.
But after the Dao Pill exploded and became a sea of stars, everything changed. Just as Huangtianyu said, if he does not eventually become a life form on the same world level as Huangtianyu, then he will be another alternative life that is neither a living being nor the world. It has the characteristics of both living beings and the world.
The blending and chaos of the two qualities will naturally overthrow all his subsequent spiritual practices.
The Golden Immortal needs to be "immortal" to be granted the title of Daluo. But is it really the only way to go, "Place your destiny on heaven and hide it in luck"?
What the Taoist books say is the only way?
Now the road in the Taoist book is impassable. Zhang Yan doesn't even count humans and immortals, so how should the numbers in the Taoist books be used to cope with the situation?
Zhang Yan stood on the terrace behind Dengyun Temple and looked at the sea of clouds outside the mountain, the sun rising and setting...
A few days later.
Zhang Yan suddenly spoke as if he was talking to himself: "Only living beings can perish, and the heaven and earth will naturally not fall. I am no longer a living being, and I have the breath of heaven and earth. Is there another way to solve this immortality?"
