longevity road trip

The person bowed to an empty place and said respectfully:

"Geba pays homage to all the divine masters. Today, there is a sudden surge of spirits in that extremely spiritual place. It should be the arrival of the five Nascent Soul cultivators."

As soon as the words fell, there was a very subtle fluctuation in the formation, and three bearded men with extremely burly figures walked out of it.

"Okay, I'll credit you this time, you go back to the tribe for the time being. Right now, you can't participate in the affairs here, so go." One of the big men said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Goba immediately flew towards the vast sea and desert without saying a word.

After it flew away for about a hundred miles, the three divine masters from the three major tribes turned around and looked at the Lingling Formation behind them, and a very burly green lion walked out from the formation, and behind them was the Miaofa monk.

"Two fellow daoists, now that the monks from the five sects have arrived, we can start. Let us take advantage of this rare place of immortality to set up a star-fighting array, and turn the Yuran Mountain's radius of tens of miles into a dead zone. Even if you can't kill them, it can hurt their vitality." The divine master from the Golden Knife tribe said coldly.

However, as soon as the words were finished, a crack in space suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and a white-bearded old man wearing a monk's robe walked out of it.

Seeing the five Nascent Soul cultivators present, the three divine masters respectfully said, "My lord."

And the green lion power released the human form and the magical method, and the two put their hands together and saluted.

"Pretend today's incident never happened, you three protectors go back to the tribe first." Jueming waved his hand and said slowly.

"I would like to abide by your lord's decree." The three god masters said in unison, without any hesitation in their tone.

Hearing this, both Miaofa and Lishi's eyes showed surprise, but the question in their hearts has not yet been expressed.

With a thought in Jueming's mind, the crack in the space opened instantly, engulfing it together with himself, and disappeared in place immediately.

The next moment, three figures appeared above Yuran Mountain.

With a wave of the sleeves of Jueming's monk robe, nearly ten thousand top-grade five-element spirit stones fell down. The spirit wave that was transformed in a short time was so huge that it rushed towards the land of absolute spirits.

This scene also alarmed the five sect masters and Zhang Shiping who were searching for traces of the demon body nearby. The six of them soared into the sky one after another, facing the three of the White Horse Temple.

Everyone's spiritual sense swept over them, and immediately looked terrified, they cupped their hands and said, "Greetings to Venerable Jueming, I have seen two fellow Taoists. Thank you Venerable for your generosity."

"In order to bring this extremely spiritual place back to life, 40 to [-] spirit stones are needed. I am only doing my best, and you have to deal with the rest yourself. You have been waiting here for so long, But did the demon body change?" Jueming said unhurriedly.

"The demon's body is no longer in the ice-cold marrow of Yuran Mountain. I searched for a long time, but still found nothing." After thinking about it, Yu Rui said slowly.

"Disappeared for no reason. Could it be that other monks came first and took this demon body into their pocket? Ladies and gentlemen, if there are monks who want to use the demon body as a disaster in the future, they can send people to the stupa forest, and the poor monk will help him. Jueming frowned slightly, and then said with clasped hands.

"Thank you, my lord. If your lord makes a move, even if there is another Wooden Machine Sanren, it won't be able to make much trouble." Yu Rui said.

"The poor monk will not bother you." After Jueming said, he stepped into the space crack and disappeared on the spot with Lishi and Miaofa behind him.

After the five sects and the six true monarchs waited for him to leave, each of them showed a dignified look on their faces.

"Sure enough, Senior Uncle Qinghe said in the past that if there is another venerable person in the White Horse Temple, he must be Jue Ming." Du Yu said in a deep voice.

"Fortunately, the other party doesn't have any malicious intentions. Otherwise, if we fight today, once this land of absolute spirits expands, it will be hard to end." Bai Yuheng said with a sigh.

Chapter 992 Cultivation

"After all, we are both human cultivators, and Jueming is already a venerable person. With his strength, he would definitely not do such a thing to take advantage of others' danger." Ming Lin said in a voice.

"From this point of view, the demon body should not have been taken from the White Horse Temple. If we still can't find it, then we need to hold the Zhenjun Conference. Right now, we need to pay attention to those fellow Taoists whose lifespan is approaching. Jian, if your sanity is eroded by that devilish energy, it will not end well." Zhang Shiping said calmly.

After all, that Muji Sanren's mana was only in the late Yuanying stage, but with the indestructible body of the demon body, Hongyue, Xiao Chengwu and other monks who transformed themselves into spirits could not do anything to him for a while.

What's more, this person's mind is tough, able to resist the erosion of demonic energy, so that he will not lose his mind completely.If it was replaced by other Nascent Soul cultivators, then maybe what would happen.

Once the other party completely falls into the devil's way, it will definitely be a disaster for Nanzhou, and there may be countless casualties!

"Continue to search for a few more days, if you still find nothing, then send out invitations in the name of our five schools, inviting all fellow Taoists in Nanzhou to come to any city of Yuanxiao, Xuanming or Misty, and borrow the big formation in the city, As long as the other party is contaminated with a little bit of magic energy, he will definitely not be able to escape our investigation. If there are fellow Taoists who cannot invite you, then we will make other arrangements for these people." Du Yu said in a deep voice.

Everyone responded, and continued to search, not letting go of half an inch of land.

……

……

On the other side, the Panchong Mountain Range is far away at the junction of the Hanhai Moyuan and the Nanzhou Central Plains.

Its highest point is the suspended roof.

Jueming brought the two Nascent Soul monks Miaofa and Lishi to appear here suddenly.He looked around and swept around with his spiritual consciousness, speechless for a long time.

"Uncle, what are we here for?" Miao Fa asked.

"In the past, Yu Dan had some insights here, and there may be something mysterious in it, so I came here to take a look. You want to ask us why we don't take advantage of this great opportunity to seal the five cultivators in that place with the help of the land of absolute spirits?" In the mountains?" Jueming said calmly.

"Uncle Master's Dharma Eyes are discerning." Miao Fa said.

"You, if you want to break through to the later stage, stop confining your vision to a corner. There are disputes and indisputable things in the world. How can the land of absolute spirits hold the heads of the five sects together?" Trapped, besides, once this place spreads and touches the barbarian territory, the disaster will be immeasurable. At that time, Nanzhou may be overthrown, and if the five sects have no place to stay, then they have nothing more than three choices left, one They will travel far to the ancient ocean to compete with monks from the monster and sea tribes, then go to the northern border, and the rest will come to our western desert. What choice do you think they will make?" Jueming glanced at Miaofa, not in a hurry Said without delay.

"This..." Miao Fa hesitated.

"At that time, will they have other choices? If Nanzhou is destroyed, we should not think about being alone in the West Desert. Besides, the Longbo people in the Barbarian Territory are starting to feel a little restless now, and there are many people in the West Desert. The barbaric aura erupted, and now it is the most important thing for you to suppress the barbaric aura, and the three realms must not arbitrarily dispute, understand?" Jue Ming said in a deep voice.

After Huashen, in fact, any disputes in the small world are nothing more than ordinary to him, and it doesn't matter whether his disciples win or lose.

Only those Longbo people who were born in the barbaric realm are the hidden dangers.

In the past, when there were many monks in the Three Realms, there was no such concern.Now that he is alone, he must not be taken lightly.

As for Venerable Qingpeng, since the last time he competed for the Fire of the Golden Crow Pseudo-Spirit, he knew why this person was so unknown in the past.

And the method passed down by the White Horse Temple has already done a lot of research on that belief and the way of reincarnation.

He understands that the foundation of this demon venerable is not simple, it should be the revival of a certain powerful monk from ancient times.

Seeing that its body is Qingpeng, the most likely one is that Kunpeng.

Coupled with the occurrence of the heaven and earth vision that turned day and night upside down at that time, it can be seen that those Mahayana monks did not really disappear from the world. They should have disappeared for so long for some reason.

"Disciple understands." Miao Fa heard his tone became more and more serious, and quickly responded.

"Go back to the temple. In order to redeem you and Yin Luosha from the Beimingxuan Palace, I promised them to open the main peak of the Nine Birds Secret Realm together after 300 years. If any of you can advance to the later stage, Then you can walk with me. Although Kunkui and Pengyang's world-breaking magic talisman may not be true, it is also a rare opportunity in the world. In the future, you may have the opportunity to be promoted to become a god. Don't worry about it now Disputes and trifles caused delays in cultivation." Jueming said.

Earlier, the two monster monks from Northern Xinjiang took Miaofa and Yin Luosha to the West Desert and came outside the White Horse Temple. Although they were surprised to see that Jueming was already a monk of Huashen, their attitude Still resolute, did not give in on this, holding a plan to die.

From this, he could also understand that the reason why the two clans, who are descendants of Kunpeng, were so obsessed with opening the Nine Birds Secret Realm was probably not just for the treasures in the secret realm.

From these clues, he had some guesses in his mind, but it was not enough to tell others.

"Thank you uncle for your support, I will practice with peace of mind." Li Shi said respectfully.

"Not only you two, but also other monks in the temple." Jueming said.

However, in his words, he didn't include Yin Luosha, who was already a late-stage cultivator, the Dharma protector in the temple.

After all, if these guardians can't break through the barriers in their hearts, they are just like the puppets.

What's more, over the years of the White Horse Temple, there are not many Dharma protectors who can cross this step, and Xiao Chengwu is the only one in the past [-] years.

And the reason why this person was able to do this may be due to Hongyue's contribution.

After explaining the chores, Jueming walked down from the suspended roof barefoot on the snow, and then walked along the ups and downs of the mountains, measuring the ground, walking along, leaving footprints behind him, and was soon swept away by the wind and snow. cover up.

Li Shi and Miao Fa looked away, and then they headed towards the vast sea and desert, passed a secret ancient teleportation circle, and returned to the White Horse Temple to practice, just to compete for the opportunity 300 years later.

As for Jue Ming, who was walking in the wind and snow in the mountains, the old monk also had expectations from the beginning, but at the end it was empty and serene, close to nature, forgetting gains and losses together, as if everything in the world Nothing to do with it.

He is like wind and snow, mountain rocks, and the snow lotus growing among the rocks.

Although the method of realizing emptiness and transforming gods is wonderful and extreme, it is not unsolvable after all.

Taoism follows nature and learns from heaven and earth. For him, practice is not limited to the teachings of Buddhism and Taoism.

After all, monks who can cultivate to the realm of transforming gods in the small world can also be regarded as talented people in many cultivation circles, the difference is only some timing.

If you fail to ascend to the spirit world, you will turn into dry bones after thousands of years, but once you have the opportunity, it will be like a dragon entering the sea.

Chapter 993

A few days later, Du Yu and his party found nothing in Yuran Mountain, and returned to their respective sects to collect the spirit stones.

It only took one day to go back and forth, and Wu Zong filled up nearly 40 high-grade spirit stones in that extremely spiritual place, and the massive amount of spiritual energy was equivalent to an entire high-grade spirit vein.

At the same time, with the issuance of invitations in the name of the five sects, the Nanzhou Zhenjun Grand Meeting will be held as scheduled three years later. Except for a few Yuanying monks who have already gone out before that, or happen to be in an emergency, all other monks are invited to come.

It's just that after many investigations, the matter of the demon body was finally settled.

And Zhang Shiping took advantage of this event to tell other Taoists that he would go to the frontier of the Barbarian Region to guard in advance on behalf of Xuanyuanzong.Of course, he had to wait for Master Zhan Xuan sent by Qingxia to return from the border of the Barbarian Territory before he went.

Naturally, no one objected to such a trivial matter.

Not long after the meeting ended, news came from the Red Moon Tower that Xuan Yu was sitting down and Feng Xuan was taking over.

After hearing this news, Du Yu secretly went to the quiet valley of Hongyue Tower for a walk alone. I don't know if the two of them fought or discussed something?

In short, after this time, Hongyue Tower began to withdraw from the style of the commander-in-chief of Nanzhou when Venerable Hongyue was alive, and began to act more low-key, just like the ordinary Nascent Soul forces.

In addition, Jiang Ruoliu, who was originally the elder of Jindan of Mingxinzong, suddenly transformed into the master of Wanjianmen, and Gu Zhang abdicated.

All of a sudden, in the entire Nanzhou cultivation world, although those low-level monks were still fighting for their own cultivation, at the level of Yuanying monks, it seemed calm and nothing major happened.

Zhang Shiping taught his apprentices for a year or two, and then he went to Bihu Island, and continued to practice the "Liujia True Strategies" and the "Wan Jiansheng" method.

……

……

Time flies and the years pass by.

Before I knew it, more than ten years had passed!

During this period, Qiu Cong sat in the Xuanyuan Secret Realm in the early morning of a certain day, and two months later, Zhongli's already extremely weak aura also dissipated.

In the ancestral hall of the sect, the life lights of the two went out one after another.

Zhang Shiping, who heard the news, left the customs twice in a row, sending the two of them the last journey.

According to Qiu Cong's request before his death, he deliberately separated a trace of his soul and hid it in the body of his apprentice Li Jiantong to protect him, so as not to encounter accidents before he matured.

At the same time, it also inherited the natal spirit treasure and many spiritual objects of cultivation left by Zhong Li before his death.

It's just that these things are not of much help to him who has already touched the bottleneck of practice, it is nothing more than a few more fighting methods.

During the years after Xuanyuan Zong Qiucong and Zhongli passed away, among the other four sects, the old Nascent Soul monks who were of the same generation as Qinghe, such as Wenshui Zhenjun of Misty Valley, etc., also died one after another.

There is also Xu Yuanhui of Ming Xinzong, who also exhausted his life energy before Bi Yunquan.

As for Zhiyi and the Hongyi couple from the Hongyue Tower, they went to Cangguyang hand in hand before their own magical powers and mana had not weakened with only a short lifespan left.

Several months later, the two returned with serious injuries, carrying the corpse of a mysterious tortoise in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

However, they did not retreat to heal their injuries, but walked hand in hand, and finally sat on a certain unnamed green hill and watched the sunrise. They looked at each other with smiles, and as the golden light fell, both of them slowly dissipated into pure aura , without leaving a trace, completely feeding back the small world.

Its sitting time was fully advanced by decades.

This is the case in Nanzhou, and the same is true for the older generation of Nascent Soul cultivators in Northern Xinjiang, Western Desert, or overseas. The almost elusive hope of longevity is just a hope after all.

However, after the veteran Zhenjun left among the five sects, apart from Misty Valley, the other four sects each produced a Nascent Soul cultivator.

Although Yi Xuedan was unwilling, under the insistence of Du Yu and other four masters, Wuzong opened the land of Yinming and Huangquan again after a lapse of 300 years. After losing his name, there is still a drop of blood with a little soul.

Speaking of which, even a Nascent Soul cultivator with a lifespan of more than two thousand years cannot escape the day of his death.A person who is expected to live forever, but it is like a flower in the mirror of the moon in the water. In the end, all the efforts have been in vain.

The longevity of high-level monks is so elusive, no wonder those ordinary low-level monks, once they have reached a similar level of cultivation, they consciously cannot go any further, so they no longer continue to practice boring retreats, or start touring mountains and rivers , Like the literati who visited famous mountains and great rivers, or returned to the secular world, married wives, took concubines and had children, and enjoyed the prosperity of the rest of his life.

After all, who doesn't want to sit and lie on a high bed, and live a mediocre life with unrestrained fragrance and blinding eyes? This is human nature.

Perhaps their lives are more colorful than these Nascent Soul cultivators who practice non-stop.

Of course, these monks who have returned to the secular world are almost all under the supervision of monks from various sects to prevent them from causing harm.

Whether it is an ordinary Nascent Soul Sect like Mingxin Sect, or a long-standing sect like the Five Sects, the reason why monks are not allowed to kill mortals is not because they are benevolent to mortals, but rather It is out of the responsibility to maintain a relatively stable state of the world.

……

……

A certain day between the old and the new.

Xu Su, who had devoted himself to Zhang Shiping's seat for more than three hundred years, flew from Yuanxiao City to Bihu Island in his Dunguang, and sent a sound transmission jade slip into the formation.

After half an hour, the stone gate of the cave that had been closed for several years opened suddenly, and Zhang Shiping, who was wearing a green shirt, walked out slowly, and appeared in front of Xu Su in a flash.

"Meet the ancestors."

"Get up."

Zhang Shiping glanced at this person again, nodded his head lightly, and said with satisfaction: "The medium-term cultivation is not bad."
