This is what a fairy should be like

However, Zhuang Lin also knew that what he needed most at this time was to calm his mind.

Even if the situation in the world of immortal cultivation is very bad, can it be worse than the depletion of spiritual energy after thousands or hundreds of years?

The inheritance has been cut off. Do I have to take a different path?

No, that's not right!

Zhuang Lin knows his own business. He is not a real master who has been hiding from the ancient immortal era to the present, but he has inherited the Dharma lineage not long ago.

Even in the two martial arts secret manuals, Zhuang Lin also gained some residual traces of the martial arts lineage.

Therefore, even if there are no seniors to guide him on this path, Zhuang Lin believes that by searching for opportunities all over the world, he may be able to make up for his shortcomings bit by bit.

Just as we saw when the Dharma lineage was passed down, the road to heaven was cut off but the immortal Dharma lineage was unwilling to disappear.

Whether it is the practitioners of that time or the mark of the Dharma lineage itself between heaven and earth, they will find ways to pass it on.

Although the so-called immortal path is still unclear, cultivating the immortal path must be the most orthodox way. I have already reached the realm of a true person, so how can I give up unless it is absolutely necessary!

Zhuang Lin knew very well how convenient and comfortable it was to reach the realm of true person with the power of heaven and earth. It really was as if heaven and earth were helping him.

As Zhuang Lin thought about it, his brows furrowed more and more.

This leads to a very strange question: since I can become a real person, why can't others, just because I am a time traveler?

What does Xi Miao mean by “something is missing”?

Because I am an outsider, I don’t lack “that thing”?

If this is the case, even if everything goes well, will I be the only one who can achieve immortality? What about my disciples?

Looking at the person in front of him frowning in thought, Xi Miao waited quietly beside him, giving the other person time to understand the current situation.

But today was a safe day. This immortal is easier to communicate with than I thought!

What the master said was indeed right. The ancient immortals seemed indifferent and unpredictable. Sometimes they were as calm as a lake, and sometimes they could stir up raging waves. But in essence they were as clear as water, without so much dirt.

If you really meet them, as long as you are sincere, you can get along well with them, and they will even make you feel at ease!

It can be said that the tempers of the ancient immortals are sometimes very easy to understand. As long as you have a clear conscience, you don’t have to worry about anything when getting along with them!

Master's teachings were verified by his own personal experience, so at this moment Xi Miao was much more relaxed than when he came. He turned his gaze to the table and subconsciously picked up the chopsticks.

Looking back at Zhuang Lin who was still in deep thought, Xi Miao didn't hesitate and picked up a piece of meat from the table and quickly stuffed it into her mouth.

Oh! I smelled it and it tasted delicious. It is indeed a dish prepared by a wealthy family. It tastes really good!

Zhuang Lin glanced at the woman's actions and temporarily suppressed his thoughts.

"Excuse me, fellow Taoist, do you know how the various ways of cultivating immortality are generally practiced nowadays? If they cannot follow the path of cultivation, how do they continue to move forward?"

"Ahem."

Xi Miao covered her mouth with one sleeve, quickly swallowed the food in her mouth while pretending to think, and then she answered.

"Generally speaking, they are quite scattered, and each has its own path, but they all try their best to get close to the ancient immortal path. However, they are similar in form but not in spirit, and often go wrong. There are quite a few crazy ones. Some simply don't follow the immortal path and imitate the heterodox ways, although they still call themselves immortals."

Xi Miao thought seriously for a moment before continuing.

"Sir, you must know that heaven and earth share the same power?"

Zhuang Lin nodded, Xi Miao smiled, and some curiosity appeared in her eyes.

"Sir, can you demonstrate to me the true power of heaven and earth? There is no need to use any great magical powers, just the most natural one will do!"

Is it so rare to see the power of heaven and earth? No wonder the evil cultivator Yang Ziang couldn't recognize it!

Thinking of this, Zhuang Lin nodded. Xi Miao already knew that he was a real person and he looked quite sincere, so there was naturally no need to be too taboo.

Zhuang Lin just had a thought, and his aura slightly released, and a special feeling vaguely appeared in his body.

It was already night, and the stars were already visible in the sky. At this moment, the power of the nearby stars seemed to sense something, and many of them actively gathered towards the building ship.

Not a lot, but very active!

If Xi Miao had not been paying attention to this point all the time and had a certain understanding of the stars, it might not have been easy to discover. However, if one observes carefully, it is particularly obvious.

The real person did not cast any spells, nor did he communicate or practice anything. He just sat there naturally, and the power of the stars gathered around him and became more and more active, revealing the purest side of the spiritual charm of heaven and earth.

After watching for a long time, Xi Miao even felt that the pure fairy spirit in front of the real person was corresponding to the starlight, as if covered with a layer of hazy silver light, with a dreamlike beauty.

It was also at this time that Zhuang Lin's mind moved, and his breath was restrained. The gathering momentum of the star power suddenly slowed down. Although it was still faintly circling, it was not too strong.

Xi Miao finally came back to her senses from her dazed state and said with emotion.

"As expected, once the real and the fake are compared, the difference is immediately apparent! In the current immortal path, if one can get close to the feeling of the power of heaven and earth, it is considered that one has cultivated very well and has excellent aptitude. Even the ability to produce immortal spirit energy and whether it is relatively pure can be used as a criterion for judgment."

As Xi Miao said this, the smile on her face became even brighter.

"No wonder Master said that if a real immortal appeared in front of you, you would know it at a glance. I can even imagine the elegance of an ancient fairy from the Moon Palace. If you were a woman, I would have been mesmerized just now."

Zhuang Lin was still thinking about what Xi Miao meant before, but when he heard the second sentence, he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xi Miao strangely.

No, hmm! ?

"It's just a joke, sir, don't take it seriously!"

Xi Miao smiled appropriately, but Zhuang Lin could no longer look at her with the same eyes as before. He could only comfort himself and thought that he was overthinking.

"The so-called immortal path is still divided into three primary realms: Ming Qi, Tongqiao, and Guanmai. Hmm, the ancient immortal path seems to define this as one realm. Sir?"

Zhuang Lin nodded.

“This is the awakening spirit!”

Xi Miao was obviously asking a question even though she knew the answer, so she smiled and continued talking.

"Then it's all about connecting the stars and the moon."

"Um?"

Hearing the puzzled voice of the person in front of her, Xi Miao's delicate face with a playful smile met Zhuang Lin's gaze.

"Sir, do you understand? They are missing one step, or most people are missing one step. If I remember correctly, this is even a very critical step in the immortal way?"

Zhuang Lin nodded seriously.

"Break through the Delusion Pass! It is also the foundation of the path to becoming an immortal!"

"Yes, breaking through the delusion barrier, breaking through the heart barrier, breaking through the dream barrier. There are many different interpretations of the ancient immortal path, but generally speaking, each school of immortal path refers to the same thing. This barrier is too difficult, and too many people are blocked. Anyway, the orthodox immortal path is already broken, so can you think of a way to make this barrier easier?"

"Well, my guess may not be correct, but maybe some people thought so at the beginning, so, gradually, the current situation was created."

Zhuang couldn't help but sigh silently.

It's just like the saying goes, a bad guy racking his brains is not as good as a stupid person's sudden inspiration, doing this will simply destroy your own foundation!

"So nowadays, there are very few people who have the same power as heaven and earth in the immortal path? Is it the same for those who have forged the immortal furnace of artistic conception?"

"Imperial furnace of artistic conception?"

Xi Miao showed a bit of surprise, then immediately realized and a smile reappeared on her face.

"Sir, you really don't treat me as an outsider. Even my master doesn't know about the Immortal Furnace of Artistic Realm. He only said that there are also top secrets in the way of immortality that can only be passed down orally. I think this is one of them. No wonder breaking through the delusion barrier is so important, and no wonder those people ignored it at the beginning."

Zhuang Lin also reacted now, but Xi Miao continued talking to herself.

"Without the guidance of the real immortal elders and the immortals who have passed down the path by word of mouth, many of them just think that step is just some magic illusion on the immortal path. They just ignore it or suppress it and bypass it. After all, the ancient immortals sought truth and perfection, and now the immortal path is not complete, so why should we stick to the old ways?"

"But from what you said, it seems that there are still people who have reached the level of unity of heaven and earth?"

"good!"

Xi Miao nodded.

"Indeed, there are some. Even those who are close to them are regarded as treasures. They are truly geniuses, but they are rare and cannot be compared with you, sir! As for whether any of them have achieved the immortal furnace you mentioned, I don't know."

"Well! Tell me more about the rest!"

"I should tell you everything I know, but sir, I am a weak woman, visiting you at night, and my mouth is dry and my stomach is empty. Can you bear to let me keep talking like this? The night is long, don't you have plenty of time?"

No mistake, just one song, one post, one content, one look!

When Xi Miao spoke, she leaned her body slightly, placed a finger on the lower corner of her lips, and glanced at the table, with a naturally revealed sense of charm.

To be honest, Zhuang Lin also thought it was beautiful, but his thoughts couldn't help but turn to other places, and then he quickly put those distracting thoughts aside.

"Please enjoy it. The food won't taste good if it's cold!"

"Thank you, Mr.!"

Xi Miao's face immediately showed joy. He stopped being polite and started eating directly. He also invited the black fish spirit beside him to sit down, but the latter still did not dare to do so.

Perhaps because she felt it was inconvenient, Xi Miao even took off her fur coat and let the black fish spirit hold it for her like a clothes hanger while she rolled up her sleeves to eat.

Zhuang Lin also accompanied them to taste the food, thinking that dishes of this quality could make Xi Miao so engrossed, what would happen if she went to the Hidden Immortal Valley?

Thinking of this, Zhuang Lin couldn't help but glance at Xi Miao's waist. Once she took off her cloak, the velvet white belt around her waist became more prominent.

No wonder it is said that all paths of cultivation are affected—

That night, Zhuang Lin learned a lot of information, but he also had a lot of doubts, and even Xi Miao had more questions.

At the same time, Zhuang Lin gradually got to know more about King Xi Miao.

Although she is a woman, there is no barrier to communication. Xi Miao is not only knowledgeable and outgoing, but also proficient in astrology and numerology. She knows a lot about astronomy and geography, and can also tell fortunes.

For a demon cultivator, the inheritance is truly astonishing!

But at the same time, Xi Miao also abided by his teacher's teachings, never showing anything to the outside world at will, and never asking for too much from the outside world. He just managed his own piece of land, maintained good relationships with some necessary powerful people, and waited for the possibility of the future!

Of course, the two also enjoyed a lot of food and wine.

At this moment, almost all the plates on the table were empty, and the topic of the two had long since turned from the way of immortality to other things. However, some of the questions Zhuang Lin asked were too broad, and Xi Miao could not answer many.

After swallowing the last bite of food, Xi Miao gently wiped the corner of her mouth with her finger, then stuck out her tongue and licked the juice off her finger in an animalistic manner.

Xi Miao seldom showed such movements in a relaxed state in front of outsiders, but in front of Zhuang Lin, she used them very naturally. After she realized it, she was a little surprised, which was just as her master said.

However, at this moment, Zhuang Lin looked thoughtful and didn't seem to pay attention to Xi Miao.

"Sir, don't worry too much. You are an ancient immortal, a man of great wisdom. Even the heaven and earth cannot bear to see you trapped. You will definitely find a way out. Then all sentient beings will also have a way out."

Zhuang Lin couldn't remember how many times he had been startled tonight, but at this moment he still looked slightly surprised.

"What do you mean by this? Did your master say this, or did you mean it?"

Xi Miao thought for a while and said.

"Master said so, and I understand a little bit. Master also said that if you hadn't appeared, I'm afraid the world would have come to an end, so you or an immortal like you will definitely come!"

Xi Miao showed a satisfied smile as if she had had enough food and drink.

"Even Master didn't expect that I would meet you not long after you appeared. Maybe it was the help of heaven and earth."

"Does the world have a limit?"

Zhuang Lin repeated this sentence and then looked at Xi Miao intently.

"Then why can I solve it?"

"I don't know about this, so I'll just wait for you to explain it. If you can't really explain it, then I'll just practice and keep going up until you achieve enlightenment, and even cross the illusory path of ascension. As long as you stand high enough, you can naturally see far enough!"

Ascension?

Zhuang Lin's heart was shaken for a moment, and a word almost flashed through his mind, a word that his disciple Liu Hongyu had mentioned many times.

Jedi Tiantong!

In that flash of lightning, Zhuang Lin's mind seemed to open up in an instant.

The earth and the sky are connected, the spiritual energy is exhausted, and the heaven and the earth also have a limit.

Therefore, because the connection between the earth and the sky is cut off, it is equivalent to cutting off the continuation of the heaven and the earth itself. If I can reorganize the immortal path, or even break through the path of ascension by myself, isn't it equivalent to reopening the sky?

The idea was a bit too big, so big that Zhuang Lin even felt a long-lost sense of panic!

But at the same time, even if this possible general direction is accurate, there are still too many unsolved mysteries.

"If you really have doubts, you can also seek help from other great people, such as the Bodhisattva of Two-phase Heavenly Sound, who is the Great Awakening and Wisdom, and may be able to help you."

Zhuang Lin's eyes lit up. Yes, this person was a well-known figure in later myths.

"However, such a wise man from the Buddhist sect might be able to see through you, so it's not easy to deal with you."

"Are you going to hide it from her too?"

Zhuang Lin asked this thoughtfully.

Xi Miao was slightly stunned for a moment. She almost subconsciously wanted to help Zhuang Lin keep it a secret, and only now did she react.

"Well, that should be it."

Xi Miao paused and quickly shook her head.

"Sir, I think it's better to keep it a secret. Bodhisattvas may be very kind, but being very kind doesn't mean they won't make mistakes. Being very kind doesn't mean everything will be good. Even if Bodhisattvas guide people to be good, there are still many evil people among their followers."

Having said this, Xi Miao added another meaningful sentence.

“An enlightened person is an enlightened person in the eyes of others, but sometimes, I think an enlightened person may not be aware of himself.”

Zhuang Lin nodded slightly, feeling fortunate that he could embark on this journey of eliminating demons and meet Xi Miao along the way. At the same time, he was also somewhat confused about the future and couldn't help but sigh.

“It’s a long road ahead”
