Way of Immortal Sovereign

Listening to the old Confucian scholar's wry smile and long sigh, both Yan Shenggong and Li Taibai were shocked, as if struck by lightning.

How transcendent is the demigod realm?

The existence of this realm is not to mention surpassing the saints, and even relying on geographical advantages, it can also compete with real gods!

What a powerful realm and power this is, why is it related to those uncomfortable words in Yasheng's mouth?

Prisoners, do you mean saints?

Could it be that the road of no return refers to the path of spiritual cultivation?

Yan Shenggong and Li Taibai looked at each other, they both saw the shock and horror in each other's eyes, and finally they both turned their gazes to the old Confucian scholar, respectfully bowed down and said: I implore the sub-sage to clarify the confusion!

The old Confucian scholar sighed deeply, and after a long silence, he said quietly: Actually, there is nothing to say. In the final analysis, it's all about each person's choice.

Everyone in the world knows that the supreme life span is ten thousand years, and the saint's life span is one hundred thousand years, but they don't know how short the life span of a hundred thousand years is for a saint.

Yasheng continued to speak, with a helpless and bitter voice, One hundred thousand years of life, if it weren't for those who are truly amazing and talented, it is impossible to discover the secrets of the divine way during this period of time, and truly achieve holiness. But If you can't do it, what should you do when the longevity limit is up?

The old Confucian scholar looked at Yan Shenggong and Li Taibai, and asked back with a strange expression.

Find the elixir, or kill yourself?

Li Taibai spoke in a deep voice, with an extremely solemn expression on his face.

The old Confucian scholar nodded slightly, and said with emotion, It's a pity that the elixir of immortality is so rare, it's so rare that it almost doesn't exist, even a saint can't easily find it.

Then the only option is to kill yourself?

Yan Shenggong frowned, and said with some hesitation, It's not a loss to cut a knife, right? Just like Cang Lan of the Cang clan, he survived from the end of ancient times to the present world, at least suffering for millions of years, and the other saints of the three domains , and have survived for hundreds of thousands of years by this method. Although they will fall from the peak after cutting a knife and become bound, as long as they are still alive, there is a glimmer of hope to break through the divine way. , wouldn't that be able to break the shackles and regain a new life?

I only know one, but I don't know the other.

The old Confucian sighed and shook his head, and his expression became more and more strange: People in the world only know that cutting themselves will fall to the top, but they don't know that there is another biggest disadvantage... that is, although this knife slows down the passage of life, it also cuts off the body. It’s impossible to go out of the sage’s way in the whole life, and you will be trapped in the realm of a saint for the rest of your life, and it’s the weakest kind of saint who is tied up!”

If it weren't for this, how could the Cang Lan of the Cang clan have been unable to step on the divine way for millions of years? Is the aptitude of an existence who can become a saint really so unbearable?

The Dao is so fair. If you want to have something, you have to let it go. Cutting yourself with a knife can indeed slow down the passing of life and linger on for a long time, but because of this, you have become a prisoner of this world, and you will never be able to break through the realm of a saint. Living like this...really Does it still make sense?

The old Confucian scholar's voice was not loud, but it sounded like thunder to the ears of Yan Shenggong and Li Taibai, and it was deafening, because even the two of them didn't know the secret of this kind of self-defeating, and there was no record in the Confucian classics.

But after thinking about it, both of them are relieved. After all, saints are so transcendent and rare. Throughout the ages, there are only a few of them. In the history of Confucianism, there has never been a saint who killed himself. , maybe they don't know the disadvantages of this method until now, or they have already noticed a little bit, but they all want to hide this secret in order to maintain the majesty of the Immortal Summit.

Slashing yourself with a knife, and severing yourself to practice the Dao, the gain outweighs the loss.

Yan Shenggong and Li Taibai whispered, but the old Confucian scholar smiled sarcastically, You have to know that although the existence that can achieve the status of a saint is extremely talented, if you want to see the threshold of the divine way in a hundred thousand years, if you don't have a great chance , It is absolutely impossible. At that time, there is no hope of breaking through, and the limit of longevity is in front of us. Even with the heart of a saint, can we really face death calmly? At that time, how many saints in the world will be able to choose not to linger? alive?

Besides, even if you have glimpsed the threshold of the divine way, you also know how difficult it is to go out of the holy way. At that time, even the saints who have the hope of stepping on the divine way may not necessarily have the courage to take that step, even if they take that step. After one step, he can become a demigod, and his lifespan has increased to a million years, and there are still few people who dare to bet.

Speaking of this, the old Confucian scholar's face became more and more strange, You two, do you know why?

Yan Shenggong and Li Taibai shook their heads in unison, their heads covered in cold sweat.

Because after taking that step... it is equivalent to embarking on a road of no return! It must be within a million years to truly transcend the realm of demigods. If you can't do it, you will have to fall when the time limit comes. All the way.

The old Confucian scholar sighed, and there was some helplessness and bitterness in the complicated expression, Because once you step into the realm of demigods, you will no longer be able to kill yourself, and there is no longer the option of lingering!

Being self-defeating and becoming a prisoner of heaven and earth is exclusive to the realm of saints. Demigods, gods, and even legendary immortals cannot do this.

The Dao of Heaven and Earth, how fair and cruel!

The road of no return, the road of dead ends. If you can't reach the other shore after you step on it, you have to die.

Millions of years sound like a long time, doesn't it? After seeing the realm of the divine way, do you think it's only a matter of time before you set foot in it? Wrong, completely wrong! It has been more than 700,000 years since the old man became a demigod. The scenery has long been in front of you, but you still can't enter the room, and you don't even know how to do it, let alone the remaining 300,000 years, even if you give the old man a million years, you can't say that you will be able to reach the gods.

How difficult is this step...

...

The old Confucian scholar laughed at himself again and again, and there was an expression of regret or bitterness in his eyes, which made both Yan Shenggong and Li Taibai feel their scalps go numb and a little creepy.

How talented is Yasheng?

Throughout the ages of Confucianism, there have been countless sages and great talents, and they can definitely be ranked in the top five!

But it is this kind of amazing talent, the supreme existence that shakes the past and shines today, and it took a full 700,000 years, but it is still stuck outside the threshold of the Shinto realm.

This step is simply a gap between heaven and earth, so that neither Yan Shenggong nor Li Taibai dare to think deeply about the vastness and depth of it.

And what makes the two of them tingle the most is that before stepping into the realm of demigods, the cultivator still has the option of beheading himself.

If there is no such choice, even if those strong men who have stepped into the realm of demigods cannot see hope, they will not have the most useless emotions such as regret, which interferes with the already crumbling Dao Heart; Backing down and choosing to cut myself off, what kind of regret and unwillingness should I have for the rest of my life?

How many times would these people ask in the depths of their hearts, if they hadn't chosen to kill themselves at that time, would it be another world now?

At this moment, Yan Shenggong and Li Taibai suddenly understood that the reason why those saints in the history of Confucianism did not tell and record these secrets was because this choice was too much to torture the Taoist mind.

For cultivators, this kind of Taoist torture should be delayed rather than early. Regret and unwillingness will be minimized.
