After the Heavenly Master saw the two of them, he mainly asked about their studies.
Among the three masters, the Celestial Master is the most approachable, and this is not just a matter of words. If Taoism is not involved, the Celestial Master at this time is more like an ordinary elder. If he had been a national master or an earth master, he wouldn't have bothered with such a trivial matter.
After the two answered one by one, Qi Xuansu began to ask about the ancient wizard's method of pseudo-ascension.
Faced with these old people who can penetrate people's hearts, Qi Xuansu usually does not try to be clever and beat around the bush, but gets straight to the point and asks straightforward questions. On the premise that these old people are kind to him, this method is very likely to gain favor.
After hearing this, the Heavenly Master was not very surprised and just said: "It seems that you have initially understood the mystery of the 'Eternal Life Stone'."
Only Zhang Yuelu was confused. She knew about the "Eternal Life Stone" but didn't know what pseudo-ascension was. However, she was not stupid and immediately realized that this must be related to Qi Xuansu's visit to Tianshui Yixin Tower. She didn't ask deeply at the time, but she just knew that Qi Xuansu went to look up information about the ancient witchcraft religion, and then went to class normally for the past two days, almost forgetting about it.
Qi Xuansu saw Zhang Yuelu's doubts, and half answered the Heavenly Master, and half explained to Zhang Yuelu: "I don't dare to say that I have a thorough understanding. I mainly consulted the ancient books about ancient witchcraft. Only then did I know that the ancient witches had fake ascension rituals. Leaving the human world, but ascending to the Lingshan Cave Heaven.”
He said: "There is indeed such a thing, and there are relevant records in the notes left by the Ancestral Master."
While speaking, Tianshi stretched out his hand to grab it, and it seemed to pass through the gap between Wanxiang Taoist Palace and Da Zhenren Palace.
After a lot of space, he took out a scroll of bamboo slips out of thin air. Although papermaking was already available in the ancestor Tianshi's time, bamboo slips were still the mainstream at that time. Replacing one thing with another always required a step-by-step process and could not be accomplished overnight.
The Heavenly Master unfolded the bamboo slips, took a quick glance, and said: "Actually, the kind of pseudo-ascension you are talking about is not unique to ancient witchcraft, Taoism has also had it, but the place where people from Taoism went to Kunlun Cave for pseudo-ascension. In the past, Kunlun Cave had another name, called "Di Xianjie". Because Kunlun Cave had four states at its peak, it was divided into four major states: Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniu Hezhou, and Nanzhan. Buzhou and Beiju Luzhou. Of course, as the end of the Dharma approaches, Kunlun Cave Heaven gradually comes to an end. Today's Kunlun Cave Heaven is no longer in its prime, and at most half of the state is left."
Zhang Yuelu was a little surprised: "Kunlun Cave Heaven died so quickly. I have read records before, saying that there was still a state in Xuansheng's era."
Tianshi said: "In a few hundred years, even this half of the state will be gone."
Qi Xuansu interjected: "Which state is this state? Just talking about area, the difference between Xizhou and Jiangzhou is huge. Even if it is an overseas continent, Fenglinzhou cannot be compared with Borneo."
Zhang Yuelu said: "It's almost the size of Zhongzhou."
Qi Xuansu understood.
After all, he had also been to Kunlun Cave, which was the time when he had a conflict with Wang Danqing. I also learned about the general situation of Kunlun Cave from some Taoist classics.
The structure of Kunlun Cave is very mysterious, somewhat similar to the legendary "Peach Blossom Spring". It is very small at the beginning, and becomes smaller as you go deeper.
It is vast, regardless of the various "side doors" opened by the Tao Sect. Entering the Kunlun Cave from the normal route is just a mountain at first. When you enter Lu Wu's residence, it suddenly becomes clear. Then from Lu Wu's residence, you enter the Five Elements Cave, which is also known as the "Five Elements Heaven". " is the Taoist medicine garden. It was here that the Six Enlightened Witches fought with the Kunlun gatekeeper Lu Wushen and refined the second generation "Eternal Life Stone".
This place is already comparable to several places.
Beyond the Five Elements Cave is the Kunlun Cave. In the past, the Zixiao Palace was located in the Kunlun Cave, but as the Kunlun Cave fell to the ground and merged with the human world, the Zixiao Palace was no longer in the Kunlun Cave, but appeared on the top of Kunlun.
The Kunlun Cave, which has just been confirmed, is shrinking.
Viewed as a whole, the entire Kunlun Cave is like an upside-down mountain. The top of the mountain is connected to the Yuxu Peak of Kunlun in the world. Therefore, entering the Kunlun Cave is from the "top" position, then all the way up, and finally to the vast The "foothills" area.
The Heavenly Master explained in depth: "As early as in ancient times, the Kunlun Cave was not yet closed. Immortal people would often go to the Kunlun Cave after a hundred years of living. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is the way to ascend."
"At that time, many people with great supernatural powers had not yet passed away, and it seemed that humans and gods were living together. The Kunlun Cave was full of spiritual energy, and many earthly immortals lived in seclusion here to cultivate in an attempt to survive the catastrophe. Although the Kunlun Cave at this time was not It is not far from the real thirty-third heaven. Therefore, the masters who can go to Kunlun Cave Heaven are actually almost the same as immortals. This is also the reason why Taoist sects have always respected earth immortals in the past."
"Just following
The incarnation of Taishang Daozu and the Emperor of Heaven ascended and passed away, and after the Battle of Muye, many earthly immortals died or were injured. Most of the survivors chose to ascend and pass away. The number of earthly immortals in Kunlun Cave is decreasing day by day. After the Zixiao Palace was closed, the Kunlun Cave became an ownerless land. People in the Taoist sect started fighting over the ownership of the Kunlun Cave. Finally, Nanhua Dao Lord took action to seal the Kunlun Cave, leaving Lu Wu to take care of the Kunlun Cave and prohibit the People who had no chance entered it without authorization, and the genius of Kunlun Cave gradually became a legendary place in the eyes of future generations. "
"Later, the word 'Kunlun' no longer symbolized the fairyland, but was generally called the Taoist ancestral court. Many people who came to Kunlun according to the records in the classics only saw the snow-capped mountains and no trace of the fairyland. The records in the book are deliberately exaggerated by predecessors, but they are just based on imagination.”
"It wasn't until Xuansheng integrated the Taoist gates that the Kunlun Cave Heaven reappeared and landed. By the way, the 'Three Treasures Ruyi' is the key to the Kunlun Cave Heaven."
After Qi Xuansu heard this, he was greatly shocked, and then asked: "What is the relationship between Kunlun Cave Heaven and Lingshan Cave Heaven?"
"Of course it is related." The Heavenly Master said unhurriedly, "Both of them reach the same destination by different routes. I don't have the method of the great witch's ascension that you want to know here. Because the great witch's ascension requires the altar of the ancient witch religion and performs blood sacrifices. Those altars It has been destroyed long ago. The Taoist sect opposes blood sacrifice and will not rebuild it. However, the Taoist sect’s pseudo-ascension method is essentially the same as the great witch’s ascension method. I have this pseudo-ascension method.”
Zhang Yuelu asked curiously: "Does one need to ascend when going to Kunlun Cave? Isn't there a normal entrance portal?"
The Heavenly Master said: "Because
Because the normal way is to pass through the Five Elements Heaven, there are six enlightened wizards blocking the way, and God Lu Wu is sitting on the road, so it is necessary to directly enter the Kunlun Cave Heaven through the method of pseudo-ascension. However, the Kunlun Cave was closed later, and this method of pseudo-ascension could not enter the Kunlun Cave, so it only existed in ancient records and was almost lost. That is to say, our Zhang family's inheritance has never been cut off, so we still retain the complete pseudo-ascension method. "
Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask: "Doesn't the Dao Sect's pseudo-ascension method require altars and blood sacrifices?"
"No need." The Heavenly Master said, "The reason why the great witches of the ancient witch sect need altars and blood sacrifices is not for pseudo-ascension, but for changing the body. It's just that the ancestral witches integrated pseudo-ascension and body-changing. It's difficult to To distinguish, it becomes a false ascension that requires the use of an altar. As for the blood sacrifice, it does not have to be human blood, the blood of wild beasts can also be used."
Qi Xuansu recalled the appearance of the great witches he saw in his dream, and suddenly said: "In addition to being as tall as giants, the ancestral witches also have various animal characteristics, precisely because of the blood sacrifice."
The Heavenly Master nodded and said: "That's right. After the great wizards in ancient times performed the pseudo-ascension ceremony, their appearance changed drastically, their strength greatly increased, and they went to another world. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were ascended."
Qi Xuansu asked again: "Now that the Kunlun Cave is reopened, if I use the Dao Sect's pseudo-ascension method, will I directly ascend to the Kunlun Cave?"
The Heavenly Master said: "No, because the Zixiao Palace is no longer in the Kunlun Cave. The Zixiao Palace is the key to this pseudo-ascension method. It can also be said that the Zixiao Palace is a guiding light, used to determine coordinates. It has been If you're not there, you can't go. Of course, you also
There is no way to go to Zifu, where Zixiao Palace is now located. In short, it is a useless method. "
Qi Xuansu had some vague understanding, but still asked: "Since it is a useless method, then why should I go to Lingshan Cave Heaven?"
The Heavenly Master pointed at his heart: "If others use this fake ascension method, nothing will happen, but you have the 'Heart of the Immortal Stone' inherited from the ancient witchcraft in your body, which will guide you to ascend to the Lingshan Cave Heaven." , without having to look for the gateway to Lingshan Cave Heaven.”
Qi Xuansu said: "In this way, I can go, but others cannot."
The Heavenly Master flicked his finger, and a flash of light penetrated Qi Xuansu's eyebrows: "This is the Taoist method of pseudo-ascension. It is not difficult, but there is a threshold, and it requires cultivation at the creation stage."
Qi Xuansu asked: "Is this also true for ancient witchcraft?"
The Heavenly Master said: "As far as I know, the ancient witchcraft's method of pseudo-ascension also requires cultivation at the creation stage. However, after the physical transformation of the blood sacrifice, the pseudo-ascension witch will gain the strength of a pseudo-immortal. The ascension of Taoism The method is simpler, but it will not increase the level of cultivation."
Qi Xuansu nodded, knowing that he must first reach the stage of creation before he could explore the Lingshan Cave.
As for how to reach the stage of creation, it is difficult to say but easy to say.
Today, Qi Xuansu is only one step away from the stage of creation. To be more intuitive, there is only one piece of "Xuan Jade" left.
According to his expectation, the Yao family would give him this "mysterious jade".
This is also one of the many gifts of fate that has already been secretly marked with a price.
In order to know the secretly marked price as soon as possible, Qi Xuansu had to do it again
Accept the gift of "fate" in the dark.
Anyway, if you have too many debts, you don’t have to worry about them. If you have too many lice, you don’t have to worry about them. Just let them be.
