Looking back, Cao Zhe left Wudang Mountain and never returned to Martial Arts Mountain.
After arranging the future development direction, it is time for Cao Zhe to pick up his personal practice and continue working hard.
Simply meditating and practicing Qi can no longer provide energy.
Then find a way to make new breakthroughs.
Wrinkles spread all over Cao Zhe's cheeks. Coupled with his long, snow-white hair, he definitely looked like an old man.
An instant later, a large amount of dust and dirt appeared on Cao Zhe's originally pure white robe.
Walking among the paths, I was contaminated by the oil and turbidity of the world.
The originally bright white hair now looked dry and messy, losing its original chicness and style.
The rancid smell often associated with the old man began to linger around Cao Zhe.
Even ordinary people who don't understand the art of phase division will definitely think that Cao Zhe's life is not long after seeing him at this time.
The Five Declines of Heaven and Man!
Even the immortals and gods were afraid of the five declines of heaven and humans, but Cao Zhe took the initiative to welcome him and sent himself into the 'death realm'.
It is true that gods and immortals live forever, but when heaven and man also fade away.
In order to delay the arrival of the five declines of gods and humans, immortals and gods accumulate merit externally, cultivate themselves internally, take elixirs, drink immortal dew, stay away from the world, and avoid worldly affairs.
This is used to avoid and delay the five declines of heaven and man.
Naturally, Cao Zhe had his own reasons for taking the initiative to contain his Hunyuan aura and facing the catastrophe of the decline of immortal gods.
"If you want to break the restrictions, you must first break all the shackles. The three disasters and nine calamities are the shackles of mortals, and the five declines of heaven and humans are the shackles of immortals and gods."
"Avoiding is too passive, only by dealing with it head-on can we break through the truth." Cao Zhe has made corresponding arrangements for the immortal way, the martial way, the way of ghost cultivation, and the lower realm.
At this time, he can naturally find time to do what he wanted to try early in the morning.
Only by breaking the upper limit of the world can you get a glimpse of the wonders outside the world.
Cao Zhe still wanted to break away from the world and take a look outside it.
But I don’t know how long I can last if I enter chaos again.
Shaking his head, Cao Zhe temporarily eliminated all the chaotic thoughts from his mind.
Now that he has entered the state of the five declines of heaven and man, he must carefully experience and comprehend the changes contained in it.
The decline of Qi and blood, the dimness and concealment of the immortal Qi, the fading of magical powers, the gradual erosion of magic power... these are all happening all the time, just like invisible insects, gnawing at his body.
Even with Cao Zhe's temperament, it is inevitable that he would be a little upset and uneasy.
Every time he almost failed, he directly aroused the energy of Hunyuan, completely expelling the strangeness from his body, and then returned to normal.
But in this kind of restraint and concession, Cao Zhe gradually developed many insights that he had originally forgotten or ignored.
He had measured the world with his feet many times, but he was still strong at that time and had never been as weak as before.
Strength is a perspective, and so is weakness!
Looking up at the sky, I felt a little awe again.
The sky is high and immeasurable, as if in the dark, fate is tied up by everything.
Fortunately, the concealing spirit ball had already been played, and the way of heaven was also deceived.
Otherwise, it would be difficult to determine whether Tiandao, who had been bullied several times, would take advantage of Cao Zhe's initiative to enter the Five Declines of Heaven and Man and choose to take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury.
Looking at the sky, he smiled.
The last bit of caution in Cao Zhe's heart was completely dissipated, and then the trace of power that seemed to be awakened at any time actually completely dissipated.
His eyes became cloudy and dim.
No matter who came to see him at this time, they could not combine him with the master who could easily stir up the world.
Even Hongyu, who was most familiar with him, couldn't see through the truth with his gifted eyes.
The only thing that can be called strange is the 'door' sealed by the double pupil in the right eye.
Behind the door is a small world with a slight gap.
The small world is connected... but it is reality.
This can be regarded as Cao Zhe's last trump card.
Once you really have to take action, all the power in this body will have dissipated.
Then he will open the 'door', let the power of the real body flow in, and then activate the body to get everything back.
It is more than enough to understand the truth, break down the boundaries, and be unreserved in this body.
After being completely transformed into a mortal, Cao Zhe looked at everything around him and felt completely different.
It's like going from 4K high definition to black and white TV in an instant.
The clouds in the sky, the trees on the ground, the wild grass growing around, the foothills in the distance, and the loess nearby... are all so real.
After walking only a few hundred meters, I was out of breath.
But after a while, I met some pedestrians walking on the same road.
Some dragged their families slowly along with their families, while others drove ox carts dragging goods.
"Old man! Do you want to go to the city?"
"If you're on the way, you can give me a lift." A donkey cart stopped next to Cao Zhe.
The speaker was a middle-aged man wearing a turban. There was also a woman and two children sitting on the donkey cart. A man and a woman made up a good word.
Da Chu Hai Qing He Yan, warriors and Confucianism cultivators suppressed the world. Generally speaking, except in remote places, the evil thieves who cut the roads have not been seen for a long time.
This middle-aged man obviously felt pity for Cao Zhe when he saw an "old man" traveling alone on the road, so he invited him to get in the car.
Cao Zhe was not polite, coughed twice and said, "That's troublesome!"
As he spoke, he slowly climbed onto the donkey cart.
The two children squeezed to make more room for Cao Zhe.
In fact, the donkey cart is already full of mountain goods, and it will be even more burdensome to sit on it with another person.
The middle-aged man was afraid that the donkey would fall over due to fatigue, so he jumped from the shaft and pulled the donkey in front instead.
After a while, the group exited the path and turned into the official road.
The official road is paved with cement. Although it is far less smooth than the main roads in modern society, it is already very practical in this era.
Walking on the official road, within just a few hours, I saw many warriors riding tall horses, whizzing by.
These warriors seemed to have some excitement to catch up with, and they were discussing with each other while galloping on their horses along the way.
Warriors who still need to ride horses... are only in the Shenzang realm at most.
When entering the outdoor scene, controlling wind and thunder is no longer a problem, and the consumption is not large.
Often they would not choose to ride a horse, of course... those warriors who have spiritual beast mounts are an exception.
Cao Zhe squinted his cloudy eyes, his body rocking back and forth with the donkey cart.
The little boy sitting next to him peeked at him from time to time.
The little girl sitting further in front covered her nose and turned her head away, looking a little disgusted with Cao Zhe.
This is inevitable, after all, Cao Zhe took the initiative to welcome the five declines of heaven and man, and his body exuded the smell of decay and fester, which was really unpleasant.
"Hmm...did something just happen?" Cao Zhe's cloudy eyes were in a daze.
Then I slowly remembered.
"Ah! It turns out to be the seventh settlement!"
"Forget it! There's no need to look, it's not like that anyway?" Cao Zhe squinted his eyes, then felt a little tired and leaned back crookedly.
At this moment, there was a sudden earthquake behind him.
A young man wearing gold snake earrings, riding a giant spotted tiger, came running from a distance on billowing smoke.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way, everyone!"
"Crush him to death and leave him alone!"
