Bai Lisheng touched Yun Xiao's head, his eyes still looking at the Babel Stone in Shenxiao Square, his eyes full of respect, the corners of his mouth raised inadvertently, and he said lightly: "Children, this ascension is my lifelong pursuit as a monk. .Only those who have realized the Great Dao can have this honor. Since the establishment of the Four Righteous Dao sects over the past hundred years, there have been many outstanding people, including six brothers, Xuan Zhenzi, the founder of the Xiaoyao Qingxu sect, and Tianxing Dao of the Tiangang Sword sect. There is no human being, nor the Shikong Divine Monk of Fanyin Temple, who is not spiritually intelligent and talented. They have been practicing for hundreds of years, exterminating demons and defending the Tao, and doing chivalry and justice. What they want is to be able to ascend to heaven one day. But Among the four righteous paths, the only one who has truly reached this state, and who we are lucky enough to witness, is Master Yuan Tianzong!"
Bai Lisheng pointed at the people in front of Yuan Tianzong and introduced: "Look! Today is a grand event. The heads and elders of the four sects of our righteous path are all here to congratulate and pay homage to this power of heaven. The one on the far left is wearing a The seniors in the monk's robes are the current abbot of Fanyin Temple, Xinzhu, and the most outstanding disciples of the three generations of monks Xinjue, Xinhong and others; those standing with the elders of Zixiao Temple are the Qingxu sect. The three elders Mu Zizhu, Chu Hanying, and Mo Jianlan and their three apprentices are from the same sect of Xiaoyao and Qingxu sects. Our two sects have a very good relationship; in front of them is the current head of Qingxu sect, Hui Yinzhenren, Master Huiyin is also the senior figure with the highest seniority in the righteous path except Master Yuan Tianzong. He is also the highest among cultivators in the human world and the only one who can reach the Mysterious Realm."
Speaking of this, Yun Xiao nodded. That day before Xuantan, he saw Master Yuantian and Master Huiyin as brothers and sisters. Master Huiyin gave him a precious jade and made an agreement with him. With such care, it turns out that the two sects have the same origin.
When Bai Lisheng spoke of the Qingxu Sect, his tone was quite gentle. He paused and continued to introduce: "Look, those people wearing red and white Taoist robes are the Taoist friends of the Tiangang Sword Sect. Standing at the front The person standing is the current head Tian Changzi, Di Tianying, and behind him are the elders Tianrui, Qi Tianyu, and the third generation disciple Wei Xinglan. For this grand event, all the senior masters of the righteous path and the elites of the three generations of disciples are gathered here."
Wan'er kept nodding at the side. She started training early, and although she didn't want to practice, the names of these righteous masters were often mentioned by her fellow apprentices. Today I saw his true appearance, and I felt a certain amount of admiration and admiration in my heart. Yun Xiao was extremely unfamiliar with these names. He didn't care about those so-called masters. He only cared about where his master would go after he became immortal and ascended, and whether there would be a chance to see him again.
Yun Xiao saw that Bai Lisheng kept introducing everyone in the room, so she couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Baili, what is the ascension of feathers? Where is Master Yuantian going?"
Baili Sheng suddenly laughed "haha", with a very proud look on his face, and said: "All cultivators pursue enlightenment and become immortals, transcending the world. To become an immortal, cultivation of Taoism and merit are indispensable. But the immortal way is also There are levels, and the highest level is the Ascension of Feathering. People who ascend through Feathering need to practice Taoism to the Mysterious Realm, and have perfect merits. After ascension, they are called immortals, enter the immortal world, obtain the immortal book, and enter the Yantian among the nine heavens of the God Realm. Continue to practice. In the future, if you are successful, you will be introduced to the divine world by the gods who are in charge of the door to the gods. You will be borrowed from the gods, you will get the divine body, and you will achieve the divine way. From then on, you will be immortal and transcend reincarnation. However, the talent and opportunity are not enough, and the Taoism stays in the realm of transformation. Once people have perfected their merits, they can also achieve immortality. Even if they enter the immortal world and obtain immortal status, they will have to practice in Kunlun Immortal World for countless years before they can achieve the power of immortals. Compared with becoming immortals and ascending, it is far behind. As for those who People who have mediocre cultivation of Taoism, abandon their bodies, and become immortals may not have a chance to enter the divine realm even if they practice for thousands of years. It is so difficult to ascend to heaven. Cultivators are inherently talented people in the human world, but in this world After most cultivators achieve enlightenment and become immortals, they just wander around the famous mountains and rivers in the human world and live alone."
Hearing Baili Sheng's words, Yun Xiao was even more confused. But Wan'er usually listened to her brothers talking about things here, but she could understand everything. She became interested for a moment, so she pulled Baili Sheng's Taoist robe and asked: "Uncle Baili, how can we do this?" What about the ascension? Have you seen the person who ascended? Just like Master Yuan Tianzong... are you waiting here?"
Bai Lisheng smiled and said: "Of course not. The Babel Stone behind Uncle Yuantian Sect is a sacred object of the divine world and a symbol of the leaders of our Xiaoyao Sect. It can communicate with the divine world. The Babel Stone is the key to ascension. I also heard that Uncle Xuan Zhenzi once mentioned that those who can ascend through flight are rare even among the most powerful cultivators. Even if they have this merit, they must pass numerous tests and recognitions from the God Realm before ascending. This test It is the calamity of thunder caused by the Sky Stone. According to legend, once someone meets the criteria for ascension, the God Realm will attract the thunder into the body. First, it tests the ascender's cultivation level and whether he can accept greater spiritual power. To endure the practice in the hot sky; the second is to test whether the person who cultivates immortality is firm-willed, devoted to the Tao, and has no distracting thoughts.
After the subjects pass the tribulation of thunder, they can fly to the ladder at the top of Kunlun and directly enter the Youtian Palace in the Nine Heavens of the God Realm. There, he will be recognized by the Holy Mother of Kunlun, canonized as an immortal, and then enter the southern summer, where he will be introduced to the Yantian World by Chongli, the God of Flame, to continue his cultivation. If you have the opportunity, you can enter the divine realm through the Gate of Conferring Gods, enjoy the blessings of gods, and achieve the right path. "
"The catastrophe of thunder?" Wan'er said to herself: "I often hear my brothers and sisters say that the thunder method is the ancestor of all methods and is only used to kill monsters and eliminate demons. But now... why... that Yuan Master Tianzong?" Wan'er couldn't help but look worried and looked at Yuan Tianzong in the field.
Yun Xiao also frowned, clenched the fence with both hands, and stared at Yuantian Sect.
Seeing the worry in the hearts of the two children, Baili Sheng smiled and said: "Everything in this world has different uses, just like all living things in this world are divided into good and evil. Master Yuantian is a master of Taoism, and his understanding of Tao He is far better than us, and he will definitely pass the test of the God Realm and ascend to heaven."
Wan'er said "hmm" and turned to look at Yun Xiao. Seeing that Yun Xiao still had a sad look on her face, she held his arm and said softly: "Master Yun, you have to practice hard. You will be better tomorrow." When you realize the Great Dao and ascend to heaven, don’t forget Wan’er and Uncle Baili.”
Yun Xiao forced out a smile, then looked at Yuan Tianzong in the field, and said calmly: "If I become an immortal and ascend, I have to stay away from my loved ones. I don't want to. I have never seen a real immortal. In my heart, Master is Immortal. Master is also my relative."
Hearing this and thinking of Yun Xiao's life experience, Bai Lisheng just shook his head and stopped answering.
Suddenly, a thunder exploded in the originally clear sky, and then a bolt of lightning streaked down from the sky. Even in the blue sky in daylight, it was extremely dazzling and eye-catching, and the lightning struck straight at the Babel Stone. When the electric light entered it, the Babel Stone seemed to be awakened. White light suddenly appeared, and the three characters of Babel Stone were even more radiant, making it difficult to look directly at them. The power of thunder flowed back and forth in the Tongtian Stone that day, and finally gathered on the word "天" to form another electric light. The electric light shone on the word "天" for a moment, and then struck Yuan Tianzong.
Everyone was surprised, but there was nothing strange about Yuan Tianzong's body. It seemed that the power of the thunder had no effect on him. After a while, Yuan Tianzong's body changed. His body slowly became as clear and flawless as a jade stone. Then countless humanoid phantoms glowing with white light surrounded and spread around Yuan Tianzong's true body, magnifying several times in an instant. Since it is higher than the Babel Stone.
Upon closer inspection, the phantom actually has as many as nine layers, oscillating back and forth like ripples in water, covering the true body of Yuan Tianzong. After a while, the nine-layer white image gradually shrank again, and finally converged into one place, and Yuan Tianzong's body also returned to its original shape. But at this time, Yuan Tianzong's body seemed to be no longer flesh and blood. Although his body was the same size as an ordinary person, it was completely transparent, shining with white light, and the spiritual power it exuded was the same as the power of the sky thunder on the sky-reaching stone just now. Even the spirit turtles around Yuan Tianzong have undergone the same changes. The Babel Stone once again lit up with dazzling white light, and the white light converged inside the stone. Nine streaks of sky flew out from the Babel Stone, crisscrossing above the Babel Stone, forming a circular vortex leading to the sky.
Seeing this, Master Huiyin first showed joy on his face, then nodded slightly and said loudly: "Congratulations to Senior Brother Yuantianzong for his promotion to the realm of immortals!"
After everyone heard this, they all bowed down and said in unison: "Congratulations to Senior Yuantian Sect for your success in reaching the realm of immortals!"
Yuan Tianzong nodded, and in a voice that sounded like a voice from outside the world, he said slowly: "With the love of God and the blessings of all Taoist friends, Yuan Tianzong has achieved this righteous path today. I, a poor Taoist, should pray for blessings in the immortal world, and I hope all my fellow Taoists can achieve it." Enlightenment of the Dao, I hope our Dao will prosper day by day. Regarding matters in the human world, we have Junior Sister Lao Huiyin and all fellow Taoists of the Right Dao!" After Yuan Tianzong finished speaking, his body transformed into a white light, and together with the spirit turtle, he entered the world surrounded by nine dragons. swirl. Kowloon and Yuanwo disappeared, and the sky returned to calm.
Baili Sheng knelt on the corridor of Xiaoyao Palace, bowing silently in the direction where Yuan Tianzong disappeared. Yun Xiao stood there blankly, looking at the vast sky, but she heard a familiar voice in her ears. It was Yuan Tianzong who was telling herself as usual: "Xiao'er, you will be on your own in the future. No matter what the road ahead is, don’t give up easily. Master will always be watching you.”
"Yes! Disciple understands! Master..." Yun Xiao shouted subconsciously, but when he looked around for the Yuantian Sect, he only saw Bai Lisheng and Wan'er looking at him in surprise. Yun Xiao just thought it was her fantasy, lowered her head and sobbed softly. Wan'er wanted to step forward to ask, but Bai Lisheng knew that Yun Xiao had a deep relationship with Yuan Tianzong, so he pulled Wan'er and shook his head slightly.
Everyone in the square looked at Yuan Tianzong's retreating figure and stood up slowly. Xuancheng took a few steps forward and stood in front of the Tongtian Stone to arrange the next steps. Except for a few people from the Qingxu sect who stayed here for the night, the other elders stepped forward to say goodbye to Xuancheng and took their disciples back to the mountain one after another.
When Baili Sheng saw what was going on here, he pulled Yun Xiao away. He saw that Yun Xiao had already burst into tears and stared blankly in the direction where Yuan Tianzong was flying away. Thinking about it, all these thousands of people are envious of Yun Xiao's ascension. In Yun Xiao's eyes, it's just a matter of sadness that a relative has passed away.
Bai Lisheng patted Yun Xiao on the shoulder and said softly: "Xiao'er, it's time for us to leave. Now that Master Yuan Tianzong has ascended, he will surely be able to enter the divine world and achieve the right path. Before Master Yuan ascended, he once Let the head of Xuancheng make proper arrangements for you. I think the head will summon you soon, so we will go back and wait."
Yun Xiao nodded silently, then raised her head, staring at Baili Sheng with tearful eyes, and asked: "Uncle Baili, have you ever seen an immortal?"
Baili Sheng was suddenly startled, silent for a moment, and said: "The path of immortality is elusive and its whereabouts are unpredictable. Traveling to and from the world is mostly by chance. It is not something that we mortals can easily see."
Yun Xiao wiped her tears and asked: "Since no one has ever seen a god, why do all the brothers yearn for it so much?"
"This..." Baili Sheng lowered his head and said nothing, not knowing how to answer. He just stroked Yun Xiao's head and said softly: "I'm afraid you have to find the answer yourself."
Yun Xiao lowered her head and said nothing. Baili Sheng sighed softly and walked south along the corridor with Yun Xiao and Wan'er.
