I rely on length to cultivate immortality

Li Xiuchang knew very well how dangerous it was to enter the shadow world again.

Before, the shadow of the Confucian Sage almost left him there, but now the shadow of the Confucian Sage has been upgraded to the "Shadow of the Taoist Ancestor of Self-Reflection", and its strength is even stronger than before.

If he went to the shadow world again, without the cultivation of a Taoist, he would basically be going to his death.

Therefore, the Taoist Master Wenxin also urged Li Xiuchang to achieve the status of Taoist Master as soon as possible so that he would have the strength to welcome the reincarnation of the Buddha.

Li Xiuchang was puzzled and asked, "How can the reincarnation of the Buddha be in danger? Even if he can't come back, he won't be in danger, right?"

After the Buddha's Nirvana, it is equivalent to the beginning of the fourth life. Although there is no need to start from scratch like normal reincarnation, the strength will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Just like Gui Wuyan, he was a Daluo Jinxian before Nirvana, and his strength was temporarily stuck in the Lianxu period during Nirvana.

Although recovery is quick once you wake up, it still takes time to recover.

The same goes for the Buddha. After Nirvana, he certainly cannot recover to his peak combat power in a short period of time. He may only have the strength of an ordinary Daluo Jinxian, or even only the strength of a Taiyi Jinxian.

With such combat power, it is indeed not safe in the shadow world.

But you have to know that the Buddha, like the Confucian saints, can restore the identity and strength of his first life at any time!

That is to say, give up the strength of the fourth life and directly restore the combat power of Minzhong Daozu during his peak period!

In this case, who else in the entire shadow world can threaten him?

Taoist Ancestor Guantian, as a person who holds the realm, has no shadow, and the shadow of Buddha will not appear in the shadow world. The only Taoist Ancestor in the shadow world is the shadow of Taoist Ancestor Wenxin.

The shadow of Daozu Wenxin is fighting against the peak Daozu Minzhong. It's just a one-on-one fight, so Daozu Minzhong will not be in any danger.

Daozu Wenxin shook his head and sighed, "According to the time, Minzhong should have achieved Nirvana a long time ago, so his shadow should have achieved Nirvana as well. However, I searched all realms but could not find his shadow. This means that Minzhong's shadow hid after achieving Nirvana."

"If we can't find his shadow, we can't send his shadow into the Immortal Shadow, which means that Minzhong is temporarily trapped in the shadow world and can't come back."

"After Nirvana and rebirth, Minzhong and his shadow have given up the Buddhist path they practiced in their third life. Their thoughts have changed, so they will naturally make different choices."

Li Xiuchang said: "So after not practicing Buddhism, Minzhong Daozu and his shadow could not give up their positions like before, so Minzhong Daozu's shadow hid himself and was unwilling to return to the shadow world..."

At the beginning, the Buddha reached an agreement with his own shadow and the two sides exchanged positions. The main purpose was to pursue a higher realm of Buddhism, abandon their own positions, and achieve true equality among all beings.

But now that they have abandoned Buddhism and Taoism, the positions of the two have become clear.

The shadow of Minzhong Daozu was unwilling to reveal his whereabouts because the initiative was not in his hands, or in other words, the "button" to restore his strength was not under his control.

The strength of the shadow depends on the real body. As long as the strength of the real body of Minzhong Daozu does not recover, the strength of his shadow will also be suppressed.

Just imagine, a peak Taoist master is rampant in the world of immortal cultivation, and no one can stop him. How big a threat is this?

Moreover, it is simply impossible to capture a Taoist ancestor alive!

Once the shadow of Minzhong Daozu recovers its peak combat power, no one can force him unless he is willing to enter the Immortal Shadow himself.

By then, the real body of Minzhong Daozu will never be able to return to the world of immortal cultivation.

Therefore, after the rebirth of the Minzhong Daozu, he must always suppress his own strength and must not recover the peak Daozu combat power of his first life.

If one can suppress his strength at the Golden Immortal realm, then as long as he finds the shadow of Daozu Minzhong, he can capture him alive and exchange him for Daozu Minzhong's real body.

The Confucian Sage said: "The best way now is for you to cultivate to the Daozu realm as soon as possible, and then go to the shadow world and bring the people out of the world you created."

Letting Minzhong Daozu stay in Li Xiuchang's second Dantian world temporarily can at least ensure his safety.

After that, you can slowly look for the shadow of Minzhong Daozu. After finding it, throw it back to the shadow world. Minzhong Daozu will then be able to leave the second dantian world and return to the world of cultivation.

By then he will have recovered his peak strength and there will be no hidden dangers.

Li Xiuchang pondered and said, "So, Senior, your shadow will also keep searching for the reincarnation of the Taoist Ancestor Minzhong?"

"Of course, so we must hurry up and rescue Minzhong from the shadow world before he is found by my shadow. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if Minzhong recovers to his peak strength for his own safety." Wenxin Daozu said in a serious tone.

Once the reincarnation of Daozu Minzhong is found by the shadow of Daozu Wenxin, he will definitely not sit idly by and wait for death.

He can only recover his peak combat power to protect himself, and then the shadow of Minzhong Daozu will also recover his peak combat power.

So in essence, this is a race against time, and the competition is whether Li Xiuchang can become the Taoist Patriarch first, or whether Minzhong Taoist Patriarch can be found by the shadow of Wenxin Taoist Patriarch first.

As for whether the shadow of Minzhong Daozu is found earlier or later, it is not that important.

If we figure out the interests involved, we will understand that the key lies in when Li Xiuchang becomes the Taoist Patriarch!

The sooner he becomes the Taoist Patriarch, the greater his chances of winning.

That's why Li Xiuchang wanted all the heavens and worlds to help him practice!

He had this idea before, but it was just an idea because it was difficult to implement.

The so-called help from all the heavens and the myriad worlds in his cultivation means that all the cultivators from all the heavens and the myriad worlds will choose to integrate the Great Dao into the Great Dao of Equality when they are promoted from the Refining Void Stage to the He Dao Stage.

That is to say, all the cultivators who meet the requirements in the entire world of immortal cultivation mainly practice the way of equality!

The key point is that although Li Xiuchang is strong, he does not have that much face, and not everyone buys into his account.

People who don't know him or are not familiar with him will be wary of him and will not cooperate with him unconditionally on such a big matter.

His fame was limited to the Xianyin Realm. When he went to other worlds to recruit a few geniuses, he often ran into obstacles. He had to show off his muscles from time to time to convince others. Sometimes, even after he showed off his muscles, others were still unwilling to hand over the geniuses to him.

If one wants all cultivators in the entire world of immortal cultivation to willingly practice the way of equality, only the Taoist Ancestor can do it, and only the Taoist Ancestor has such prestige!

No one who practices cultivation dares not to respect the ancestor of Taoism.

If the Taoist priest issues an oracle, many people will respond.

Therefore, Li Xiuchang wanted to borrow the influence of Daozu to achieve this goal and help himself practice quickly.

Daozu Wenxin also knew that the situation was urgent and that they had to race against time, so he agreed after careful consideration.

A few days later...

The statues of the Taoist ancestors in various high-level worlds showed strange visions one after another.

The overall cultivation level of the first, second and third worlds is relatively low, and there are not many strong people in the Void Refinement Stage, so it is not worth spending energy on them.

However, among the three Taoist statues enshrined in all the fourth and fifth worlds, the statues of Taoist Guantian and Taoist Wenxin all showed strange visions and gave out divine decrees.

It is said that the fourth Taoist Patriarch will be born in this world!

The great path of this new Daoist ancestor will soon be completed. All cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage who are striving to achieve the He Dao will have the opportunity to switch to the new path of the fourth Daoist ancestor!

He also taught the ritual of offering sacrifices to the fourth Taoist ancestor and displayed the image of the new Taoist ancestor.

This is like a bolt from the blue, shaking the entire world!

The three Dao Ancestors have existed since the beginning of history. Countless years have passed, and no one has heard of a fourth Dao Ancestor.

Even Confucian sages and Buddha are generally considered to be not comparable to the three Taoist ancestors.

This time, two of the three Dao Ancestors personally admitted that a fourth Dao Ancestor will be born, which is of extraordinary significance!

First of all, it proves that the strength of this new Daoist Ancestor has been recognized by the old Daoist Ancestor, and that he is at the same level as the previous three Daoist Ancestors.

Secondly, it shows that the new Taoist Ancestor has obtained the support of the other two old Taoist Ancestors!

Powerful, yet authentic!

This has to be thanked!

Many people also saw the opportunity in this. A new Taoist ancestor is rising, and if they join his team as soon as possible, they might be able to obtain benefits beyond their imagination.

The first step to show loyalty, of course, is to practice the same path as the Taoist Ancestor.

Moreover, one can actually smoothly switch to the same path of cultivation as the Taoist Ancestor without any side effects. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

The new path created by the Taoist Ancestor must not be weak, otherwise it would be impossible for people to prove their status as the Taoist Ancestor by relying on this great path.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

But not all cultivators in the world can practice the powerful path.

Many people originally practiced a relatively weak avenue. Now there is an opportunity to directly switch their main weak avenue to a top avenue. Not only will there be no loss, but they can also show their loyalty to the Taoist Ancestor. Who wouldn't be tempted?

As for the major forces in the fourth and fifth worlds, this is an instruction personally issued by the two Dao Ancestors, and it is an order!

You must do it.

Although the two Dao ancestors did not force them to do so, what was their status? The two Dao ancestors had already spoken, so who would dare not give them this face?

Anyone who dares to disobey would be disrespecting both the two old Taoist ancestors and the new Taoist ancestor.

You are a sect that practices Taoism, and you have offended three of the four Taoist ancestors. Aren't you going to go bankrupt and wait for heaven's punishment?

As a result, all the immortal forces, big and small, enshrined the statue of the new Taoist ancestor in their own sects.

The statue is naturally the image of Li Xiuchang, with a handsome face, extraordinary temperament, and sitting cross-legged. When placed together with the other three statues of Taoist ancestors, one can clearly see his unique sharpness and vigor.

There are still distinct differences between young people and old people, and not just in appearance.

This new Taoist Patriarch is called "Taoist Patriarch of Equality"!

…

The seventh world.

There are three cushions placed on an observatory.

Li Xiuchang was sitting upright on one of the cushions.

He looked up at the empty sky, and after a moment, a light flashed in his eyes, and his gaze seemed to penetrate layers of space and landed somewhere in the underworld.

In a certain fifth-level world, a statue of the Taoist Ancestor of Equality was enshrined on the altar, and the entire table was filled with rich offerings.

Two monks at the peak of the Refining Void Realm knelt below, holding incense and bowing, chanting: "Now I, your disciple, will bathe in purity. Uphold the Three Treasures and diligently practice the wonderful Dharma..."

At this moment, Li Xiuchang felt like he had become a statue on the altar, looking at the two people below from the statue's perspective.

When his gaze fell on the two people, the two cultivators at the peak of the Void Refinement Stage trembled all over, feeling that they were being watched by a great being. The divine power was as unfathomable as the sea, which made their tone become more pious.

After the two of them finished the process, they inserted the incense sticks in their hands into the incense burner, touched their heads to the ground, and did not dare to stand up. They said respectfully: "Please give me the Dharma, Taoist Ancestor!"

The next moment, as Li Xiuchang thought about it, the figures of the two disappeared instantly.

"This ritual works really well with this observatory!"

Li Xiuchang praised in his heart. No matter which world offered sacrifices to him and invited him to come with a ceremony, as long as he was on this observatory, he could separate a wisp of consciousness and enter the statue.

It can also open the passage to the second Dantian world within the scope of the ceremony!

The two cultivators who were at the peak of the Void Refinement Realm were taken into his second Dantian world.

The two monks disappeared out of thin air, shocking the group of people watching the ceremony. They knew that this ceremony was no joke and that the new Taoist ancestor had really performed a miracle and sent the two men to an unknown place.

You should know that the various rituals of petitioning the three great Taoist ancestors that were circulated before often did not receive a response. Even if a small number of them did receive a response, it would not be a big fuss, and basically they all felt specious.

For example, the ritual of asking the sky can basically get a response, but no one can tell for sure whether the three great Taoist ancestors actually contribute during the ritual.

After all, situations like Li Xiuchang's Questioning the Sky Ceremony are still extremely rare.

But this time, the effect of the petition ceremony to the Taoist Ancestor of Equality was immediate, and the two living people disappeared directly.

The two cultivators appeared in the air in the second Dantian world at this time. They could not see the situation below, and could only see endless fog under their feet.

And when you look up, you can see the only star in the sky.

"Is this the new Dao of the Equal Dao Ancestor?"

The two of them observed the origin of the Dao in the sky with reverence. It was the first time for them to see the origin of the Dao in an unexpected place in the world of origin. They felt that this ancestor of equality was becoming more and more mysterious and unpredictable.

After a while, the two successfully integrated their main path into the Way of Equality and gained a better understanding of the Way of Equality.

The two of them had inexplicable surprise on their faces. After just a casual try, they realized that the Path of Equality was much more powerful than the path they had practiced before!

The upper limit is too high!

Then the two figures disappeared in a flash, and when they reappeared, they were in front of the altar again.

At this time, the incense in the incense burner has burned out.

The people around swarmed up and asked hurriedly:

"How about it?"

"Did it succeed?"

"How's the new path? Is it strong?"

The two did not answer anyone's questions, but bowed respectfully again and again, then stepped aside and said:

"The equality path of the Equality Ancestor is truly the supreme and profound path!"

Scenes like this are constantly happening among various forces in every world.

However, in just a few days, countless insights into the Dao of Equality were integrated into the Dao of Equality.

Li Xiuchang's real body sits on the observatory every day, while his clone is in an accelerated state, constantly gaining enlightenment and digesting the insights of the Tao that are constantly being absorbed by cultivators from all walks of life.

As time went by, Li Xiuchang finally felt that his path of equality had reached a certain limit, the limit of the Golden Immortal! (End of this chapter)
