Seeing that Zhao Gongming was so confident, Chen Qing also congratulated him in advance.
Zhao Gongming was confident of making a breakthrough this time, not because he had learned much from the discussions of Kong Xuan and Zhen Yuanzi, but because he had accumulated so much.
Now he was just missing the mark. Even without this discussion, he would have chosen to break through in the near future.
Of course, this has been remembered recently with a thousand years in mind. Maybe after ten thousand or tens of thousands of years, the time will come for him to break through to become a quasi-sage.
But time has long lost any meaning to them.
As for Chen Qing, although the transformation of the soul was interrupted by the way of heaven, Chen Qing still gained a lot in the ancient way of the soul.
Chen Qing also needs some time to digest this harvest. In addition, he needs to think about his way to become a quasi-sage.
Should he choose the most mysterious and safest method of killing three corpses, or should he choose to go to the extreme with the sword and understand the method of quasi-sage himself?
One of the biggest disadvantages of realizing your own quasi-sage is that you may just enter the quasi-sage realm, but find that there is no way ahead.
This is also one of the reasons why many quasi-sage experts choose the method of killing three corpses.
The method of killing three corpses can directly reach the pinnacle of quasi-sage without any obstacles in between, as long as you have enough ability.
But the quasi-sage method that you have understood by yourself is not like this. It is very likely that when you realize the quasi-sage, you will find that the path you are taking is wrong.
All these are things Chen Qing needs to consider.
………………
Chen Qing began to retreat to digest what he had gained this time. As for why Heaven wanted to hinder his method of soul transformation, it was not something he could consider now.
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, a thousand years passed. Chen Qing had been in seclusion during this thousand years.
His cultivation has been completely stabilized, and at the same time, his soul has become stronger.
This kind of strength is not an increase in size, but a qualitative improvement.
The reason is unclear, because Chen Qing did not deduce the method of transformation in the end, so his spiritual improvement was only suitable for himself, and he did not complete the true transformation in the end.
The other is Chen Qing's own quasi-sage way. During these thousand years, Chen Qing finally decided to realize his own quasi-sage way and not practice the method of killing three corpses.
Of course, he also learned the method of killing three corpses and gained a deep understanding.
I have to say that the mystery of the method of killing three corpses really moved Chen Qing's heart.
It's no wonder that so many powerful people choose the method of killing three corpses.
In particular, Chen Qing possesses the innate treasure Chaos Bell. Once he uses the method of killing three corpses and uses the innate treasure Chaos Bell as the carrier of the three corpses, his clone will be extremely powerful and have unlimited potential.
But in the end, Chen Qing gave up the method of killing three corpses and chose his own quasi-sage method.
Even though he had just deduced a rough outline of his quasi-sage method now, and it had not yet taken shape, he still firmly chose it.
Because Chen Qing believes that the most important thing for him to reach this point is his own perception.
Whether it is the method of cultivation or the way of the Sword Immortal, he came to it completely based on his own understanding, and it is also the path that best suits him.
Now that he has reached the quasi-sage stage, Chen Qing is still willing to believe in himself.
………………
"Second brother, your majesty asked us to go back." The golden-winged roc came to Chen Qing's retreat and woke him up.
Chen Qing asked: "What happened?"
If there is no big event in Heaven now, Chen Qing will not be disturbed.
Golden-winged Dapeng said: "I asked the old man, and the old man said that the Buddhist Tathagata came and wanted to discuss the Buddhists' eastward journey."
The old man mentioned by Golden-winged Dapeng is Taibai Jinxing.
This time Taibai Jinxing was still here to convey the order, but after learning that Chen Qing was in seclusion, he still asked the Golden-winged Dapeng to call someone. He didn't dare to disturb Chen Qing now anyway.
Although the relationship between Chen Qing and him is actually very good, for some reason, Taibai Jinxing is afraid of the current Chen Qing.
In fact, this is also the mentality of most of the immortal gods in heaven. They are always a little afraid of this Emperor Tianxu.
After Chen Qing heard this, he calculated and knew that the journey to the west was coming soon. Now Duobao Tathagata came here this time to discuss the specific arrangements with the heaven.
In Chen Qing's opinion, this time it should be a difficult matter to discuss.
Using heaven's luck as a guide is not just about sending Marshal Canopy and General Rolling Shutter.
It is also necessary for some more heavenly gods and gods from the lower realm to use the heavenly luck they carry as disasters to allow the foursome of Journey to the West to survive the disaster, so that the heavenly luck will be drawn out.
Chen Qing did not delay, and immediately went to the heaven with the golden-winged roc.
In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor and the gods are already here, and the Tathagata Many Treasures has also arrived with many Buddhas.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Chen Qing and the golden-winged roc saluted.
The Jade Emperor smiled and said, "There is no need for you to be polite, please come and take your seat."
As soon as Chen Qing sat down, Duobao Tathagata said unexpectedly: "Has Emperor Tianxu's cultivation improved again?"
Although Chen Qing's Qi has been restrained, he can still see some of it with Duobao Tathagata's eyesight.
Chen Qing nodded slightly, "It's a small gain, but it's not worth mentioning."
"If the emperor's bravery and diligence are not worth mentioning, then there will be few practitioners in the ancient world to be proud of." Duobao Tathagata said.
After chatting for a while, the topic got down to business.
It's just that the Jade Emperor's mood has obviously improved, because Chen Qing's improvement in cultivation means that the strength of Heavenly Court has increased.
Now Chen Qing is completely the greatest asset of Heavenly Court. With Chen Qing here, the Jade Emperor has no worries about anything that Heavenly Court cannot handle, unless the saint takes action.
This was one of the reasons why he chose to give up the innate treasure.
"This time when Buddhism makes its eastward journey, I need heaven to use heaven's luck to bring disaster..." Tathagata Many Treasures said all the preparations for this time.
It was pretty much what Chen Qing had guessed.
The Jade Emperor didn't have any objections to this. Since he had already promised Buddhism before, he would not go back on his word.
Moreover, the conditions proposed by Buddhism this time are not too harsh. Although this will cost some heaven's luck, it will have almost no impact on today's heaven.
So things went very smoothly, and soon it came to the step of how to arrange the disaster and who would play the role.
Chen Qing remained silent, but he was sighing in his heart. No wonder everyone said that Journey to the West was closely monitored. Now it seems that this is indeed the case.
Buddhism was so well prepared that it was almost impossible to break free.
"Does Emperor Tianxu have any opinions?" The Jade Emperor asked when he saw that Chen Qing seemed to be distracted.
