Chapter 502 Asking you if you can hold on
——This chapter is still three hundred words short of completing four thousand, so it’s a little late.
There was an uproar within a radius of ten thousand miles. I thought that the ancestor of Zhushan would cite various benefits of the Taoist authentic soul to refute, but who knew that he was relaxed, frank, and nonchalantly admitting that the Taoist authentic soul was far inferior in terms of longevity. Nowadays, everyone practices the so-called "heretic" exercises.
"Although the authentic martial arts of that sect point to true immortality without decay, disaster, or hidden dangers, it is extremely difficult. In the entire world, in hundreds of thousands of years, countless generations of monks combined, I am afraid that only one can reach that point. There are very few, and there may not even be one." Some monks shuddered at the thought of how difficult it would be to pass through many passes and become a half-step golden immortal.
"Hey, don't think so long-term. I believe that the barrier of high-grade golden elixir will block the vast majority of everyone present. How can it be compared to the golden elixir realm where you can advance with sufficient materials and good talent? Everyone is at the sixth level. A hundred years of life, no one is worse than the other!" A golden elixir master sneered.
"Hey, not to mention the illusory authentic soul. It sounds so mysterious to me. It's all about the sky, the mystery is mysterious, and it's serious. But at the end of the day, what's the opportunity? Damn it, I don't know where to go to pursue the opportunity. Then What kind of opportunity is this?" Another monk sighed angrily.
"Even if you become a Yuan Shen, you will still have to be oppressed by the catastrophes and declines that are coming one after another. You will not even be able to live a free life for a thousand or two thousand years. Isn't it worse than the defective Yuan Shen Dao of several major sects?! At least they are You can live for tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years!" Some looked at the masters on the top of the mountain with envy.
"A real person who has gone through several catastrophes or even declined tribulations may not live for 20,000 to 30,000 years. Why bother to work so hard and risk so many dangers?!" A person who is extremely puzzled by this path The monk said.
"Why open the door to the avenue?! Bullshit! Bullshit!" Because Shi Xuan admitted it carelessly, many monks secretly cursed in their consciousness.
"I think those who choose the authentic path of Taoism are definitely fools!"
"Yes! Who would choose this path if not a fool?! It's difficult, dangerous, and has few benefits. How can it be as easy and simple as the current technique!"
Of course, many monks laughed and said nothing: "You guys, no matter how disappointed and angry you are, it's best to leave immediately. The last time Zhushan Patriarch preached for nearly eighty years, he eliminated many people who were weak-minded and had no destiny. Monk, I just taught you the Dao of the Soul, am I going to tell you that this is probably a test?"
…………
Many monks were talking at the same time, just like billions of flies suddenly appeared in a radius of thousands of miles, buzzing, buzzing, extremely noisy, completely destroying the dreamy beauty of falling flowers and colorful clouds.
Although the Yuanshen and Dharma True People at the top of Zhushan could still control their superficial emotions and did not curse and make a fuss in disappointment, one was to respect their identity, and the other was that the ancestor of Zhushan was right in front of him. If he was unhappy, , they were wiped out in ashes, but they heard the discussion below clearly and clearly, and they agreed in their hearts. If this is true, then those who choose the authentic soul of the Taoist sect must be fools and idiots with no heart!
Even under the Zhushan sect, there were many monks who had the same thoughts and nodded secretly.
However, they were all monks with many years of experience, and they also felt that this might not be a deliberate test by the ancestor of Zhushan.
"You may think that the poor Taoist is making lies and scares you, but everything he said is true. The road to the Taoist sect's authentic Yuanshen is such a road full of thorns, difficulties and dangers. Before reaching the goal, the benefits of longevity are not as good as those of outsiders, let alone There is no other way to increase your strength and enjoy a life span of 20,000 to 30,000 years just by writing a talisman written by a poor Taoist." Shi Xuan said in a calm voice, without any emotion.
Then Shi Xuan used the same tone to roughly explain what the four heavenly tribulations and the five declining tribulations were, and why it took tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, of years for outsiders to overcome the first heavenly tribulation, and finally said: " Pindao will only teach the Taoist sect this time, so you don’t have to think about it.”
All living beings were first shocked that the ancestor of Zhushan could make a person's strength greatly increase and enjoy a life span of 20,000 to 30,000 years with just one handwritten edict. Is this too outrageous? ! They even began to imagine that if they could please his old man, would they be able to achieve success in one fell swoop? Selling yourself into slavery? Recommended pillow seats? All kinds of thoughts echoed in their minds.
But before these thoughts had time to ferment, they were shattered into pieces by Shi Xuan's words. His explanation was reasonable and flawless. From this point of view, what just happened was not a test, but something real. The so-called authentic Taoist soul , simply worthless!
"This is a road prepared for fools!"
"Who is a little smarter and a little self-aware, who would choose this obviously much more difficult path with a narrow escape?!"
…
Disappointed and angry voices sounded. Although they did not dare to shout loudly due to the powerful cultivation of the ancestors of Zhushan, they could not help but vent in a low voice. However, there were many monks and mortals present, and eventually they formed a roaring tsunami. Only a few Several hundred people were thinking quietly and making difficult decisions.
…………
Shi Xuan glanced around the audience, waved his sleeves and robes, and all the creatures in the surrounding area couldn't help but sit upright and fly out like waves. In the blink of an eye, there was no one on the top of the Bamboo Mountain. The door reaches the mountainside, the monks on the mountainside reach the foot of the mountain... and so on.
"Anyone who is willing to join Pindao's sect and practice the Taoist sect's authentic soul method, please come to the top of the mountain." A grand and solemn voice sounded in the hearts of every monk.
This sleeveless robe, without even a hint of fireworks, sent all the real people and monks flying backwards, without the ability to resist. The vast magical power and boundless power of the ancestor of Zhushan became clear in their hearts, and they were eager for this powerful weapon. With strength, many monks came out immediately.
But as soon as they took a few steps, their fevered minds calmed down. Thinking of all the difficulties, the many tests, and the fact that their longevity was not as good as their current skills, they retreated again and stopped where they were. There was a sneer.
Master Haori stood up and walked towards the top of the mountain, thinking to himself: "The road ahead is so vast and great, much better than the road now that has been exhausted! Moreover, the magic and supernatural powers are so terrifying and powerful! It's really Fascinating!”
After walking seven steps, the pace gradually became heavier, "If you fail to practice, you will die!"
"Perhaps even the Yuan Shen won't be able to achieve success and will perish in just a thousand years! Although it is stagnant now, it can still live for at least 40,000 to 50,000 years!"
He walked slower and slower, and the cold sweat that should have been gone for a long time due to his cultivation level reappeared on his forehead. He asked himself: "Are you confident that you can achieve a high-grade golden elixir? Are you confident that you can achieve the soul? Are you confident that you can survive the four heavenly tribulations?" Are you confident that you can survive the five tribulations?”
He could still answer the first answer with certainty, the second answer with some hesitation and wavering confidence, and the third and fourth answers that he couldn't answer at all.
He roared and staggered back, saying in his heart: "I'm not a fool! Why wouldn't any smarter person choose this path?!"
The expressions on the ferocious face of Master Wu Mu are constantly changing. Although he is often tortured by the hidden dangers caused by the shortcomings of his skills, which is like a nightmare, he is at least still alive and can live for tens of thousands of years! So he sighed and closed his eyes and stopped getting up.
Under the Zhushan Gate, the Jin-haired Jade Cat of Yuanshen, the real person, stood up, sat down, sat down and stood up again, repeated many times.
It was really difficult for him to give up his nearly 100,000 years of life and pursue the illusory avenue of Yuanshen again. He was a lazy cat and was quite satisfied with his current life, so he finally kowtowed to the top of the Bamboo Mountain nine times. , sit down again and don’t repeat it again.
Since Yingzi and Huangshanjun practiced the skills, they have inspired the ancient bloodline. Although they have not yet achieved the soul, they still have nearly ten thousand years of life. Therefore, after much hesitation, they decided to continue the path of the heretic soul.
The monks who were above the Qi-entraining realm each had their own ideas, but without exception they all chose the current technique.
When they saw that no one was going up the mountain, they felt relieved for some reason.
"No, someone is going to the top of the mountain!" Just when they were relieved, two figures appeared on the road from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, going up step by step.
"It's Zhushan Yuanshen Zhenren Xia Jing and Faxiang Zhenren Zhao Xingfan!"
"Idiots, two big fools!"
"You can cultivate to such a level, but you can be so stupid. What a pity those materials are!"
Suddenly, the sound of ridicule and abuse was heard from thousands of miles away, and the names of fools were heard endlessly, which made those monks and mortals who were below the level of supernatural power, no matter which path they choose, have no harm now, hesitate, they don't want to be regarded as fools by everyone! Quite a few hundred guys who were ready to give it a try were frightened back.
Zhuang Yukun had no other skills anyway, so this was his only chance, so he got up and headed for Zhushan. Unfortunately, he was still far away from Zhushan and had no cultivation skills, so he couldn't walk there for a while.
…………
On the road from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, Xia Jing and Zhao Xingfan frowned slightly as they listened to the rising and falling laughter behind them, calling them fools.
Xia Jing is because for the past six hundred years, he has been thinking about the great road described by Shi Xuan day and night. He has longed for it for a long time. Now, although he knows that there are many obstacles, even if he gives up his tens of thousands of years of life, he may not be able to achieve it. Success, but when she recalled her life, she gradually settled down. At first, she was attracted by the splendor and splendor of Taoism, and later she was fascinated by the mystery of Taoism itself. She wanted to know more and explore more, so she He stood up and headed to the top of the mountain.
Zhao Xingfan's mind was very simple. His life span was about to end, and now he had the chance to be reincarnated. How could he care about so much? Anyway, the authentic road to the soul was not a complete dead end, so compared to Xia Jing, those ridicules and abuses , those stupid names made him annoyed, angry, ashamed and ashamed, and his steps became heavy and difficult.
Fortunately, Xia Jing was with him, so he persisted and reached the top of the mountain.
Shi Xuan did not stop the commotion below, but glanced at the two of them: "Have you ever thought about really practicing Taoism? If it is just to reincarnate and extend your life, since you two are the only ones here, I don't mind. Take one shot.”
Before Xia Jing could answer, Zhao Xingfan fell to his knees with a plop: "Teacher Mingjian, this disciple just wants to be reincarnated." In the next life, he might be able to achieve the heretic soul!
The abuse and ridicule in the surrounding area stopped for a moment, and many monks with few remaining longevity secretly thought in their hearts, "This guy is so cunning, I have to go too!" But they found that they were completely unable to move, and they could only watch the bamboo mountain. top.
"Okay, you step aside first and wait until Pindao asks Xia Jing before taking action together." Shi Xuan asked Zhao Xingfan to stand far away and turned to look at Xia Jing.
Xia Jing smiled and said: "Reporting to the teacher, I still have tens of thousands of years to live, and I am not here just for reincarnation."
Shi Xuan nodded: "Then kneel down."
Xia Jing knelt down as he was told, and the voices of ridicule and abuse rang out again, "Fool, fool, big fool!" This made her a little sad and tormented.
Then all the monks saw a purple flying sword appearing in the hand of the ancestor of Zhushan. The brilliance was flowing and the sharpness was abnormal. Just looking at it, they felt like they were pierced by thousands of swords: "What a flying sword magic weapon! It can't be better than ordinary magic weapons." Daoliji!"
The Ziying Sword touched the center of Xia Jing's eyebrows, and the sharp sword energy made her hair stand on end. Shi Xuan slowly spoke: "To come to my door, you need a prophet. The road to the soul is full of hardships, dangers, and suffering, so you can stand firm on the path." "There is only one person in a thousand who can achieve the highest-grade golden elixir. There is no one who can cut through illusions and step through the mystery of life and death. There are only a few people who can see it for a long time without decline or calamity."
"When you step into this path, you will often suffer unbearable pain, you will often be lonely and helpless, and you will often die on the roadside but no one will hear you. This is beyond the capabilities of a human being. Can you hold on?"
The sound was loud, majestic and sacred, more and more falling fairy flowers became more and more beautiful, and the colorful glow suddenly became brighter.
