Chapter 501: Which is more important, the longevity of the road?
Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, seven colorful and soft colors, sprinkled on Shi Xuan's body, making him look like a god or Buddha.
Master Haori, Master Jinluo, Xia Jing and other monks above the Golden Elixir realm were immersed in the Taoist teachings. Their eyes were widened and their eyebrows were beaming when they heard it. A trace of doubt suddenly appeared in their hearts. The three levels of Golden Elixir, the lower and middle grades were clearly understood. , it is clear at a glance that whether it is the Demonic Beast Inner Pill or the Nine Turns and Nine Returns Jade Liquid Divine Pill, there are rules to follow and a path to follow. On the contrary, the most powerful and powerful high-grade golden pill is ethereal and elusive, as if it is enveloped. In the thick fog, we can't see the road clearly, so we can only move forward tentatively.
Firm path, what is firm path? What standard must be reached to be called a firm path? ! Except for a few of these Jindan and above monks, they have all gone through hardships to reach their current state. Isn't this called a determined path?
However, because they could not let go of Shi Xuan's teachings, their hearts were as scratched as cats, and they wished they could tell them all at once, so they suppressed these doubts deeply in their hearts and prepared to ask Zhushan after the teachings were completed. Ancestor.
The more Shi Xuan talked, the deeper he went. The seven-colored glow hung over the bamboo mountain no matter day or night, and gradually expanded, covering thousands of miles around.
Strange to say, when exposed to this glow, those tired, hungry, and sleepy mortals immediately became refreshed, and their hunger and sleepiness disappeared. However, their memory was not as good as that of the monks, and they could only remember one-tenth of the previous content.
"What will be the state after the golden elixir? It can't still be the Dharma state?" When Shi Xuan finished explaining the Taoist teachings of the golden elixir period, this thought came to everyone's mind, and they were filled with excitement, excitement, expectation, doubt, and curiosity. echo.
Shi Xuan smiled slightly, and then talked about how to sense and strengthen the true spirit in the Yin Shen stage.
Suddenly, the faces of Master Faxiang and Master Yuanshen, who were still able to maintain a decent attitude just now, immediately became obsessed and fanatical. Their necks were stretched out. It seemed that the closer they got to Shi Xuan, the more they could hear the true teachings of Dafa.
Although they have exercises that directly point to the Dao of Yuanshen, the things they talk about the true spirit are vague and unclear. It seems that the person who created the exercises does not know much about it. They can only follow the inherent steps to convert the true spirit. How can the spirit be integrated into the Dharma? How could the ancestor of Zhushan explain it so thoroughly and clearly, so that their doubts for many years were solved in one day. It is really only today that they know what a true spirit is? ! What is the use of the true spirit? ! What are the shortcomings of the technique? !
"If I had heard about the Great Way of the Ancestor of Zhushan earlier, wouldn't I have been free and free from the hidden dangers of the technique?" This made them how to control their emotions, how not to be excited and crazy, and how not to be overwhelmed with joy.
With every word of Taoism spoken by Shi Xuan, a little bit of light appeared out of thin air, forming countless beautiful petals, some were gold, some were silver, some were purple, some were red, some were cyan, and some were white, fluttering down and disappearing on the ground. , bringing out bursts of fragrance, like rain and fog, like poetry and pictures.
Impressed by this dream-like vision, coupled with the mysterious Taoism, the deep, solemn, and majestic voice, all the monks within a radius of ten thousand miles suddenly felt inexplicably moved in their hearts, and tears fell unconsciously from the corners of their eyes and faces.
How long did it take until they heard a voice and woke up from the mystery of Taoism and their minds were in a trance? How many hours? How many days? Or what month? !
"After integrating the true spirit and breaking through the barrier of life and death, you can become the Taoist soul, get rid of the limitation of longevity, and open the door to the great avenue." Shi Xuan's gentle and majestic voice rang out from thousands of miles around.
Is that all? !
How can we finish talking! !
What about the deeper and more mysterious content behind the gate of the avenue? ! What’s the follow-up to the Taoist teaching that changes the world and shakes the mind? !
The cultivator of the Seven Immortals Great World, who was feeling elated as he listened and couldn't help himself, felt many emotions suddenly pouring out, including melancholy, sadness, excitement, itching, disappointment, anger, pain, hatred... Why is there no bottom? !
"If you have any questions about the Taoist sect's authentic soul, you can feel free to ask them as long as they don't involve the exercises." The faint voice was like a basin of cold water being poured down, allowing them to regain their calmness and reason.
Master Haori pondered for a moment and stood up first: "I would like to inform you, Immortal Lord, when I was listening to the Taoist teachings just now, there were two things that I was very confused about. One is the road to the top-grade golden elixir. , Are the twelve words "Stick to the Path" too illusory? Second, at the end of Yin Shen. Originally, the junior heard the true spirit clearly and was extremely excited. He wanted to kowtow and bow to the immortal, but it was vain. After being entangled, how to enter the mysterious realm of life and death is also unclear, mysterious and uncertain, and it is difficult to grasp. "
Through Shi Xuan's teaching of Dafa, a broad road seemed to appear in front of Master Haori, just waiting for him to step forward gently. If Zhushan Immortal Master can explain it thoroughly, why not switch to Zhushan's sect? !
These two points are the same feelings of everyone present. The higher the cultivation level, the deeper the feelings. Even Xia Jing and Zhan Tang, who are under the Zhushan sect, are no exception. They look at Shi Xuan with burning eyes, waiting for the teacher's answer.
The ceiling is still falling, and the colorful rays of light are still lingering. Inside it, Shi Xuan looks hazy and full of fairy spirit. His voice is soft and pure: "Every monk is different from others. He has his own character and persistence. Therefore, the path is different. If Pindao makes it clear, he will impose his own path on you, leaving you with no hope of high-grade golden elixirs and the path to the soul."
This answer coincided with the overall atmosphere of Taoism, so Master Haori and other monks nodded and reluctantly accepted it.
Master Wumu was suffering from the pain caused by the shortcomings of the technique, so he immediately stood up and asked: "Excuse me, Immortal Lord, the authentic soul of Taoism, is it true that there is no illusion that comes back, and it needs pain and suffering to get rid of it? Is it true? A catastrophe is coming?"
These two points are also what everyone is concerned about. The skills of the Seven Immortals Great World have their own flaws after achieving the soul. Many real souls are unable to control themselves in the end and die crazy. The only one who is slightly better is the Seven Mountains League. And the skills of Zhushan Dojo, and the Heavenly Tribulation is the sharp sword hanging over the head of the remaining Yuanshen Daoist. For millions of years, no one has survived the Heavenly Tribulation!
"You don't have to worry about falsehoods coming. You can take action and go out at will. As for the heavenly tribulation, no matter which path you take, there are four or nine tribulations. There is no exception. After the heavenly tribulation, there will be five decline tribulations before you can truly live forever. See, there will be no decline or calamity." Shi Xuan briefly talked about the passes behind.
After hearing the first point, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief. It was worthy of being called the authentic name. But what Shi Xuan said after that made everyone except the disciples of Zhushan take a breath. After a disaster, no one was killed. After surviving the forty-nine heavy tribulations and five declining tribulations, how can I still have a small life?
Of course, they also feel that their horizons have been broadened. It turns out that after the soul, there are so many realms, and there is no way to go. It is really vast and grand, and it makes people yearn for it. They are also curious about the great road mentioned in the words of the ancestor of Zhushan. .
Ebony Master nodded with satisfaction and sat down. It was great to be able to get rid of this maddening pain. Master Jin Luo was thoughtful, stood up and saluted: "See the Immortal Lord, this junior has a few questions to ask."
Shi Xuan nodded and said, "Ask."
"If this junior wants to transfer to the authentic Taoist sect, what should he do? Once his skills are lost, his lifespan will be over and his body will die and his Taoism will disappear." This is the biggest doubt for monks above the level of supernatural power.
"If you want to change cultivation, Pindao can use magic to let you retain your memories and reincarnate again." Shi Xuan replied calmly.
All the monks and mortals in the surrounding area, including Master Haori, Master Jingyue, Wen Nianxi, Xia Jing, etc., could not conceal their shock. They could control the cycle of life and death. This is such a vast magical power, it is really unimaginable!
So the crowd was excited and rejoiced.
Although there are many monks in the Great World of Seven Immortals who have studied this aspect, no reincarnation technique has yet appeared.
Looking at the expression on Master Jin Luo's face, it seemed that he wanted to start practicing immediately, but he suppressed the excitement and joy in his heart and continued to ask: "Is it true that after cultivating the Taoist sect and becoming a soul, you will definitely be able to survive the catastrophe?"
"No." Shi Xuan answered briefly but firmly.
The atmosphere was extinguished a lot, but they quickly felt relieved, as long as they didn't die under the catastrophe, it would be fine.
"How sure are you of successfully surviving the catastrophe?" Jin Luo asked perseveringly.
"Due to personal cultivation and strength, it ranges from 50% to 70% to 70%. On average, about one out of ten real people will survive the first heavenly tribulation." Shi Xuan said in terms of casual cultivators. Going to a big sect is much higher.
Master Jin Luo's face tightened, and the expressions of other Masters changed. This was a narrow escape! However, it is still much better than before, and the atmosphere is still warm.
"I would like to ask the Immortal Lord, the Taoist sect's authentic soul, whether it still takes tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years, before a catastrophe comes." Jin Luo Zhenren felt that since he wanted to ask, he had to ask thoroughly.
"The natural catastrophe is about a thousand years, and the declining catastrophe is about two thousand years. There are many methods and secret techniques to delay it, but the natural catastrophe does not exceed six thousand years, and the declining catastrophe does not exceed twelve thousand years." Shi Xuan told the truth without any secret.
Although the ceiling was still slowly falling, and the colorful rays of light were still reflecting the dreamlike beauty of the Zhushan Mountains, the atmosphere condensed as if a cold wind had blown through it, and everyone's expressions changed drastically, becoming quiet and silent.
Master Jin Luo felt that there seemed to be an unknown anger rising, and he unconsciously said with a questioning tone: "Excuse me, Immortal Lord, does that mean that ten real people who could have lived for tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years, after transforming into cultivators, Except for one, most of them can only live for a few thousand years! And that one may die in about ten thousand years?"
"Yes." Shi Xuan nodded lightly. Except for the disciples of Zhushan, the other monks and real people were all angry. Isn't this a trap? ! Why open the door to the avenue of our world? Isn't that bluffing? !
"Is that the authentic Taoist sect, which makes it easier to achieve the soul than the current technique?" Jin Luo Zhenren continued to ask.
"No." Shi Xuan replied leisurely.
"How difficult is it?" Master Jin Luo was disappointed and angry.
"A hundred times, a thousand times more." Shi Xuan's tone remained unchanged.
"Immortal Lord, then why do we take the authentic path of Dao Sect?! Not only is it difficult to advance, but the catastrophe also comes very early. For most real people, they will not even live for three thousand years. In comparison, today's Although the technique has some flaws, at least there are rules to follow in order to advance, it is not so illusory, and it is not so difficult to break through, and after achieving the soul, you can live for at least tens of thousands of years, which can be regarded as half of true immortality, far better than Taoism! Authentic a hundred times, a thousand times!”
Jin Luo Zhenren finally asked loudly, asking the thoughts of all the monks. Except for the disciples of Zhushan, everyone else lowered their heads and asked in unison:
"Immortal Lord, may I ask why we should choose the authentic Taoist sect?!"
"What you said is true." Shi Xuan smiled and nodded.
