It is said that there are three thousand avenues between heaven and earth, but it does not mean that the number of avenues is only three thousand.
Three thousand represents innumerability, so there is also the theory of infinite avenues.
But what is Tao?
The Taoist is infinitely mysterious, elusive yet everywhere.
The rotation of the sun and the moon is the Tao, the rotation of the stars is the Tao, birth, old age, sickness and death are the Tao. Even the small stones rolling down the hillside are not a Tao.
Tao, the Tao is unclear.
Often you think you understand what Tao is, but is it really the true Tao?
The Tao can be Tao, but it is not the eternal Tao.
The Tao that can be described in words is not the real Tao.
This is why Xiao Tianxiong has already touched the threshold of "Tao" but does not dare to step into it.
Because once he steps in, he will get lost in the avenue, and will eventually be assimilated by the avenue and become an unconscious walking zombie.
Even though Bu Xiaotian has already reached the Divine Realm, which is infinitely close to the Great Dao in the eyes of ordinary practitioners, he still cannot understand, let alone accurately describe, what the Great Dao is.
Perhaps the avenue itself cannot be understood and cannot be accurately defined?
Maybe it was just Bu Xiaotian's illusion, but he did feel that he was very close to the avenue of water at this moment, and as he gradually immersed himself in this mysterious realization, the power of water around him became more and more tame.
It seemed like a long time passed, but it seemed like just a moment.
Bu Xiaotian's already extremely fast speed increased again, and there were roars all over his body, as if there was an invisible force pushing him forward.
But this pace did not last long.
As the surrounding leaves turned from dark black to earthy yellow in an instant, Bu Xiaotian seemed to have hit an invisible wall, and his rapid progress came to an abrupt halt.
He felt similar pressure again, but not exactly the same. This force had a heavy feeling, as if it had completely frozen him. Even this force was still squeezing his body, as if it was planning to Crush him into a ball of flesh.
With the previous experience, Bu Xiaotian quickly felt the essence of this power this time.
Pure power of earth.
At this moment, Bu Xiaotian had a clear understanding. It seemed that every time the leaves changed color, the surrounding power would change, and if his guess was correct, the power here would coincide with the five elements.
The five peaks in the east, west, south, and west of Yuxu Gate each have their own magical power and magic formula. After disciples have cultivated spiritual thoughts and reached the realm of controlling objects, they can practice the magic formula corresponding to the main peak. These five magic formulas are in the same direction as the five peaks. In line with the five elements, they are "Jingfeng Jue" which belongs to metal, "Divine Thunder Jue" which belongs to wood, "Mingshui Jue" which belongs to water, "Blazing Fire Jue" which belongs to fire and "Xuanyuan Jue" which belongs to earth. .
Bu Xiaotian was already familiar with the five techniques, so he immediately started to use the techniques in "Xuan Yuan Jue".
Just like practicing "Ming Shui Jue", this place also has great benefits for practicing "Xuan Yuan Jue".
With the experience of practicing "Ming Shui Jue", it only took five days this time for Bu Xiaotian to practice "Xuan Yuan Jue" to the highest level, and he could easily use the power of the surrounding earth for his own use.
Just after Bu Xiaotian moved forward for a while, as expected, the leaves of the five-color jade tree changed color again, this time turning into the pale green color that symbolizes the wood genus.
This time it was even easier. Bu Xiaotian's major in "Divine Thunder Jue" only took half a day to reach the same level as "Ming Shui Jue" and "Xuan Yuan Jue".
Along the way, the leaves changed color twice more, to red, which symbolizes fire, and to silver, which symbolizes gold.
After these two changes, Bu Xiaotian practiced the "Blazing Fire Technique" and "Shocking Wind Technique" to the extreme.
Just when Bu Xiaotian thought it was over, the color of the leaves changed again, turning into black.
This kind of black is different from the original black. It is an extreme blackness. As a result, even the surrounding light becomes extremely dim, and the surrounding power becomes the power of Yin.
The five elements complement each other and evolve into yang, and the five elements inhibit each other and evolve into yin.
Bu Xiaotian understood that he must understand the power of Yin before he can continue to move forward.
Originally, even if Bu Xiaotian penetrated all the five elements, it would still take months or even years to penetrate the power of Yin.
But in addition to the five magical powers of Yuxu Sect, Bu Xiaotian also possessed the mysterious "Nine Transformations of Yin and Yang Manual", which gave him great help.
It didn't take much time for Bu Xiaotian to understand the power of Zhiyin, and finally ushered in the last change of the five-color jade tree.
This time, the five-color brilliance circulated in sequence in the order of white, green, black, red, and yellow, faster and faster. In the end, the leaves and even the trunks of the entire forest became transparent, but among the transparency, they remained You can see the faint flow of five-color brilliance.
The power of Zhiyang exploded, stopping Bu Xiaotian again.
Also relying on the comprehension of the six methods, Bu Xiaotian was even faster than when he understood the power of Yin, and he could penetrate the power of Yang in less than ten days.
That is, at the moment when Bu Xiaotian completely understood the power of Zhiyang, the six major techniques were integrated, and countless insights came to Bu Xiaotian's heart.
And the mana in his body also began to flow with his enlightenment, sometimes changing in the order of the five elements' mutual generation, sometimes reversed in the order of the five elements' mutual restraint, and in the end, even the yin and yang rotated, finally converging everything, and turning into a state of chaos.
At this point, Bu Xiaotian's practice has finally reached an unprecedented level. The power in his body can be combined into one, and it can be converted into magic power of any attribute in a single thought.
For Bu Xiaotian at this moment, the magic formula has no meaning. The essence of any magic formula can be seen through just one glance.
Bu Xiaotian has reached the true state of one method connecting all methods.
He had a feeling that even Lingming Demon Lord was no longer a mountain to look up to.
At this time, three months had passed since Bu Xiaotian started climbing.
Three months is neither long nor short.
But if anyone knew that Bu Xiaotian had reached a state that many cultivators would find difficult to achieve in their lifetimes in just three months, I am afraid that even the calmest minds would be stirred up.
And except for Bu Xiaotian, I am afraid no one in this world can do this.
Not only does he possess the five true secrets of the Yuxu Sect, but he also has the "Nine Transformations of Yin and Yang" gifted by Tianjizi, and his own understanding is even more gifted.
Only by integrating these three can we achieve such an achievement within three months with the help of the power of the five-color jade forest.
At this time, the restrictions of the five-color jade forest were useless to Bu Xiaotian. He just took a random step and crossed the remaining hundreds of miles of woods and appeared at the end of the woods.
He was about to take the second step when an earth-shattering roar suddenly sounded in front of him.
"Roar--"
Then a powerful aura suddenly appeared in Bu Xiaotian's perception.
When he felt this breath, Bu Xiaotian frowned slightly and looked forward.
This aura is actually a little stronger than his at this time!
Kunlun Mountain is indeed an ancient sacred mountain, and it actually hides such a powerful existence!
Without giving in, Xiaotian waited for a long time, and a giant beast appeared in Bu Xiaotian's sight.
From a distance, the beast looked like a tiger with nine tails trailing behind it. Taking a closer step, Xiaotian saw that the giant beast actually had a human face, which looked a bit weird. Note①
The visitor was an unknown enemy, so Bu Xiaotian did not move rashly, but quietly waited for the giant beast to come closer, with mana secretly surging in his body, ready to strike with all his strength at any time.
But what surprised Bu Xiaotian was that the menacing beast stopped outside the jade forest, and looked at Bu Xiaotian with a pair of shining eyes.
After a while, the giant beast actually spoke human words:
"Boy, what are you doing here?"
Having seen the weird turtle before, Bu Xiaotian was not surprised at all. After all, even in the outside world, monsters with a certain level of intelligence and a certain level of knowledge can still speak.
Seeing that the giant beast didn't look hostile, Bu Xiaotian cupped his fists and saluted, saying:
"Senior, this junior is Yuntian, a disciple of the Yuxu Sect. This time I went up the mountain to find a spiritual medicine growing in the soil to cure my senior brother."
The giant beast shook its head and said:
"Yuxu Gate? I haven't heard of it. I have been sleeping here for countless years. The world outside may have changed. If the breath on your body hadn't alarmed me, I wouldn't have woken up.
But what I want to tell you is that there is indeed breath soil on the mountain, but it is not that easy to get. Although you are not weaker than me, you may not be able to get out of Kunlun alive. "
Hearing the giant beast's words, Bu Xiaotian thought it was going to stop him from going up the mountain. He raised his hand and the long sword was in his hand, and the mana and sword intent began to brew in his body.
Unexpectedly, the giant beast spoke at this moment:
"Young man, don't be too impulsive. You have the aura of Canglong in your body. If you can get the approval of Canglong Pearl, you are qualified to go up the mountain. I will not stop you."
As he said that, he actually got out of the way.
Bu Xiaotian saw that the giant beast really didn't look like it was trying to stop him, so he put away his sword, cupped his fists and saluted:
"Thank you, senior, for letting me pass!"
At this time, the giant beast spoke again:
"But I still want to remind you that the road ahead is dangerous, so you should take care of yourself!"
After saying that, without waiting for Bu Xiaotian's reaction, he turned around and left in the direction he came from, disappearing from Bu Xiaotian's sight in the blink of an eye.
When Bu Xiaotian saw the giant beast leaving, he stopped stopping and continued running towards the mountain.
A few days later, Bu Xiaotian had already run nearly ten thousand miles towards the mountain.
Along the way, he encountered many corpses that had been dead for an unknown period of time, including a strange sheep with four sharp horns on its head, a strange bird the size of a wild duck and shaped like a bee, and some other strange-looking corpses of birds and beasts. Note②
But the same thing is that none of their corpses have any damage, and they have not decomposed even after they have been dead for countless years.
Although Bu Xiaotian saw these, he did not stop. No matter how they died, countless years have passed, and there is no point in tracking them down.
Until this day, the body of a giant beast appeared in front of Bu Xiaotian.
I saw it had a tiger body and nine tails, and a human face. It was exactly the same as the one I encountered before!
Although there was no trace of decay on the corpse of this giant beast, there was no residual breath on its body. Bu Xiaotian could tell at a glance that it had been dead for an unknown period of time.
Looking at the long-dead giant beast in front of him, Bu Xiaotian was filled with doubts.
Are there really identical creatures in the world?
Even if they are twin brothers who share the same breast, they must have differences.
But the corpse in front of him was exactly the same as the giant beast he had encountered before, even the half-broken hairs behind the ears were exactly the same.
If it was the same giant beast, then they had obviously met and even talked with each other not long ago, so why did they see its long-dead body a few days later?
This puzzled Bu Xiaotian.
Behind this giant beast, there is a huge stone door. Countless creatures are carved on the door, including many mythical beasts that only exist in legends. They exude a powerful aura, and the images of the corpses Bu Xiaotian encounters along the way are also... in it.
Note ①: According to the "Book of Mountains and Seas·Xishan Jing": "Four hundred miles to the southwest, it is called the Kunlun Hill. It is actually the capital of the emperor and the god Lu Wusi. Its god has the shape of a tiger with nine tails and a human face. Tiger Claw; It is a god, and it is responsible for the nine divisions of heaven and the confinement time of the emperor. ② There is a beast, which looks like a sheep and has four horns. It is called a soil cricket, and it is a man-eater. There is a bird, which looks like a bee and is as big as a bee. The mandarin duck is called Qinyuan. Birds and beasts will die, and trees will wither.
