Cultivation: When you do things to the extreme

The starry sky is vast, the chaotic void is even more boundless.

Even if there is a seal to guide us, we can move thousands of miles in an instant, and there is no end in sight for this long journey.

During this period, the world was like Hengsha, with stars shining brightly. One star represented a world, but its size was not as good as the Taoist world where Yuan Ling was united. Xu Yang had no intention of exploring, and only regarded it as a journey scenery.

So and so, after March.

The Dao Seal took the lead for the last time, moved in the chaotic void, and finally came to a star as bright as the sun.

If nothing else, this is the end point.

The world of earthly immortals!

Appearing outside the Earth Immortal Realm, Xu Yang was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, he looked back and saw that in the endless chaotic void, the purple light disappeared, the Tao Seal disappeared, and no trace could be found.

According to Xiao Qingyun's memory and what he has seen now, this guidance seal left by the ancient immortal gods in the Taoist world can only guide the ascended people of the Taoist world to the earthly immortal world, and cannot be used as a guide for the Taoist world. "Roadmarks" allow cultivators from the earthly immortal world to come to the Taoist world.

What are the considerations for doing this?

Xu Yang can't say for sure, but that's the positioning.

The Earthly Immortal World cannot come directly through the Taoist Seal, which is undoubtedly a great protection for the current Taoist world.

Without the Dao Seal as a guidepost, if you want to go from the Earthly Immortal World to the Daofa World, you can only search endlessly in this boundless chaotic void, trying one world at a time. Needless to say, there are hardships involved.

Even for heavenly monks, exploring the lower world is a chore, second only to filling the frontline battlefield and fighting monsters.

Because there is no spiritual energy in the chaotic void, or in other words, only the "world" can draw inexplicable power from the chaotic void. When monks travel in the chaotic void, they can only rely on the spiritual objects they carry to replenish them. If the spiritual objects are not enough and are exhausted, then There is even a risk of sinking into the void.

Xiao Qingyun and others are an example. Led by a monk who returned to the void, a small team composed of digital gods roamed in the chaotic void, passing through world after world. It took hundreds of years to find the world of Taoism. How many supplies have been consumed, and how many times have to be replenished in other worlds.

After hundreds of years, we arrived in the Taoist world. The hardships are evident.

Searching for the lower realms not only seriously delays one's practice, but also involves many hidden risks, such as the hostility of the natives of various worlds and the possible terrorist threats in the chaotic void.

This is why Xiao Qingyun and others looked so embarrassed when they arrived at the Taoist World.

Wandering in the void of chaos for hundreds of years, even wealthy heavenly monks like them can't afford it, let alone those ascendants from the lower realm. Without a means of guidance, it will be difficult to reach the upper realm in their lifetime.

This is also the reason why Xu Yang dared to prepare for war and attack the heaven.

The Earthly Immortal Realm cannot directly reach the Taoist World, and Xiao Qingyun and others only bumped into it by chance. Unless the route is transmitted back, the Heavenly Court cannot send out a large army to conquer, and can only let such a small team go down to explore.

With the current strength of the Taoist world, unless the Heavenly Court sends Mahayana monks to investigate, no matter how many teams come here, they are just meat buns beating dogs - they will never come back!

Therefore, Xu Yang does not have to worry about the safety of the Taoist world. Even if Feisheng Academy is defeated, as long as the Taoist world is not lost, he can still get revenge thousands of years later, but it will take time.

Perhaps, this is the consideration of the ancient immortals and gods. The world of Taoism and Dharma is the fundamental place and cannot be lost?

Xu Yang changed his mind and looked at the Earthly Immortal Realm in front of him, which was as bright as the sun, thinking about how to enter.

Directly break the boundary?

Definitely not.

In the earthly immortal world, there are many great powers, including the Nine Tribulations True Immortal. With his current size, if he breaks through the world directly and enters, he will most likely be regarded as an "outside heavenly demon" and attract the attention of the true immortal and powerful ones. Kill.

If you can't break through the boundary directly, you can only take the "ascension" route.

I saw Xu Yang suddenly transformed, and in the blink of an eye, he turned into a "Xiao Qingyun".

The art of change!

It's just a side trick, a little trick, and it's hard to reach the level of elegance.

According to Xiao Qingyun's memory, the ancient immortals and gods also left relevant inheritances, which are the "Thirty-six Transformations of Tiangang" and the "Seventy-two Transformations of Earthly Evil". They are not only transformation methods, but also great magical powers to eliminate disasters, avoid disasters, and protect the path of immortality.

It's a pity that Xiao Qingyun has only heard about it, but has never been exposed to it, let alone practiced it. Therefore, Xu Yang's current transformation method is still inherited from the golden elixir of the Taoist world, as well as the left-Taoist methods collected in the present world. The Five Elements Immortal Sect does not have any related techniques and seems not to be proficient in this technique.

But it doesn’t matter, the spells are not enough, plug-ins can help!

In the world of Taoism, he has been practicing in dreams for more than 20,000 years. Although Xu Yang has put aside many unimportant things and specializes in a few key points, he still takes into account some means of preparing for a rainy day.

Disguise is one of them!

After more than 20,000 years of accumulation, with the help of the method of transformation, the disguise skill has been successfully promoted to "transformation". It also has three major characteristics: "hiding the truth from the sky", "confusing the fake with the real", and "concentrating the breath and concealing the energy", which are difficult for ordinary cultivators to detect.

so……

I saw Xu Yang flicking his sleeves and walking straight to the front line.

Just as he was approaching the limit, he felt the energy coming to him. Xu Yang did not resist and followed him away. In a blink of an eye, the light was shining brightly and he had reached a jade platform.

It is the "Ascension Platform" left over from ancient times, specially used to guide cultivators from the lower realms!

"Hey, someone is here again?"

Around the ascension platform, a group of guards were seen, wearing bright silver armor, all of whom were cultivating gods.

It is the "Heavenly Soldiers" guarding the ascension platform!

Although the Ascension Platform is a legacy from ancient times, it is now under the control of Heaven, which firmly holds the important "resource" of Ascension Monks in its hands.

Although the ascended monks come from the lower realm, they are also the strongest in the lower realm. Some are even the masters of a realm. They often have some rare treasures, which are valuable even in the immortal world, so you should take good care of them.

A group of heavenly soldiers guarded the surroundings, and a golden-armored heavenly general who had returned to the realm of virtual reality came forward, ready to see if the fat sheep came to the door again.

result……

"Taibai Du'e Xingjun?"

Seeing Xu Yang who had transformed into Xiao Qingyun, the general was stunned for a moment. Then he came to his senses and hurriedly bowed and saluted: "It turns out it's Xingjun who has returned from the lower world. I'm so rude!"

"snort!"

Xu Yang snorted coldly and said nothing more: "I have important matters to report back to heaven, why don't you act quickly?"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The golden-armored heavenly general nodded repeatedly, then pinched a spell with his hand and punched it into the void.

Then he saw a flash of inspiration, the void changed, and a treasure mirror appeared, reflecting Xu Yang's figure.

It’s the “demon mirror!”

It is also a thing inherited by the ancient immortals and gods. It can take the prototypes of demons, monsters, ghosts and monsters and immobilize them. It is the standard equipment of the ascension platform. It is used to guard against extraterrestrial demons and at the same time detect the identity of the ascension monks.

Although Xu Yang knew about this thing, he didn't take it to heart because the standard demon mirrors on the ascension platform were all imitations and only had the level of fifth-level low-grade fairy spirits. With his physical cultivation and skill characteristics, this is just nonsense.

However, according to Xiao Qingyun's memory, there is a demon mirror in the heaven, which is an authentic artifact left behind by the ancient immortal gods. It is ranked among the seventh-level high-grade immortals and is personally controlled by the "Arctic Emperor", one of the four auxiliary emperors. Even though Mahayana demons, using the art of transformation, can also take shape in one shot and capture three souls and seven souls, the essence of the soul, which is very powerful!

When the treasure mirror shined, Xu Yang's figure was reflected. Sure enough, there was no change, and it still looked like "Xiao Qingyun".

"Okay, okay, Xingjun, please."

Seeing this, the golden-armored heavenly general quickly put away the demon mirror and prepared to send away this plague god with a backstage.

Although they are all monks who return to the void, sometimes the gap between people is bigger than the gap between people and dogs.

Xiao Qingyun is a member of the Xiao clan, one of the five major clans in Heaven, and a relative of the "Emperor of the West".

If this were not the case, and he had also returned to the realm of cultivation, why was he just a gatekeeper and a heavenly general, while he was a famous and honored Star Lord in the Imperial Palace?

Even his descent to the lower realm this time was the result of the operation of power. It is said that it also involved overt and covert struggles among the top leaders of the heaven, and even the struggle between the central emperor and the four auxiliary emperors. Finally, the Du'e Xingjun, who was pampered in the heavenly palace, was allowed to descend to the lower realm.

Although the lower world is painful, it can avoid war. With the merits of this exploration of the lower world and the operation of the Xiao family, this person can enjoy thousands of years of peace in the heavenly palace and no longer need to be transferred to the frontline battlefield to fight with monsters. Fight.

It's not like me, who will stay at this ascension platform for hundreds of years and then be transferred to the front line. If I don't resist for hundreds of years, I won't even think about coming back. If I don't do well, I will be in danger of falling.

This is the difficulty of not having a backstage.

The golden armored general sighed bitterly in his heart, but Xu Yang ignored him and walked away.

Although the Heavenly Court system has not collapsed, it is also seriously corrupt. Everywhere needs humaneness and sophistication, and a backstage background.

Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about this ascension platform. When monks from the lower world ascend to this place, they need to report their family status first. If there is a patriarch who serves in the heaven, or is a member of the major immortals and gods, then go directly to report, and the master’s family will handle the arrangements. .

If you have no background or background, you will not only be raided by the heavenly generals guarding the gates, but will also be incorporated into the new army of heaven and used as free labor. Either fill in the battlefield, or work as a cow and a horse, toiling away for several days. It will take thousands of years before there is hope of regaining freedom.

The ascended monks of Wandao Academy belong to the category without background, so their treatment is generally poor.

There is a big problem with this approach. Although it is the cultivator's responsibility to slay demons and demons, he should not worry about the scarcity but the inequality. No matter what happens, there must be fairness. If things are unfair and people's hearts are unfair, there will be great disasters. Just look at Just when it breaks out.

However, the upper realm is the upper realm after all. Apart from the oppression from heaven, the benefits in all aspects are obviously greater than that of the lower realm.

When Xu Yang flew into it, he felt that the world was full of spiritual energy, and there was also a hint of fairy spirit.

Under the nourishment of this qi machine, the incarnation of those who have never practiced the earthly method only feels refreshed, all the pulses are relaxed, the vitality in the body increases significantly, the magic power is also purified, and there is a potential for rebirth.

"This is……"

Xu Yang's eyes narrowed and he looked at the attribute panel, only to see that the longevity column began to increase and beat.

Longevity increases!

This is the benefit of the earthly fairy world.

Earth Immortal, Earth Immortal, how could the name Earth Immortal come from without reason?

This immortal world is not only rich in spiritual energy, far superior to the lower world, but also has the aura of immortal spirits flowing between heaven and earth.

This trace of fairy spirit has great benefits for cultivators. The most intuitive one is the increase of life span.

Those who cultivate in the lower realm will have a lifespan of one thousand as a Nascent Soul, two thousand as a spirit, four thousand as a human being, and ten thousand as a combined body.

Even if you have the Mahayana, you only have a lifespan of thirty thousand years. If you cannot convert all your magic power into immortal power before your life span is over, and step into the realm of transcending human beings and immortals, you will die and disappear.

But in this immortal world, with the energy of the immortal spirit, the life span of the cultivator is greatly increased. The life span of the Nascent Soul is a thousand and five years, the life span of the transformed god is 3,000, and the life span of the return to the void is 8,000. Longevity and longevity.

In addition, the spirit of the immortal spirit can also help with spiritual practice, especially the practice of combining the body to break through the Mahayana, and the Mahayana transformation of immortal power.

Therefore, in this earthly immortal world, although the combination is powerful, it is not the conventional top combat power. The speed of Mahayana cultivation of immortal power is greatly increased, and the restrictions on shooting are also relaxed, and one can frequently attack without affecting one's own practice.

This also constitutes the unique cultivation ecology of the Earthly Immortal World.

According to Xiao Qingyun's memory, taking the highest heaven as an example, the central emperor and the four auxiliary emperors are the Nine Tribulations True Immortals, and they always only control the overall situation and ignore the minor details.

Below the Nine Tribulation True Immortals, there are the Tribulation-Transcending Immortals, ranging from one to nine tribulations. They are the true disciples of the great emperors and direct relatives. They are generally cultivating in secret to cope with the Nine Tribulations Immortal Tribulation, so they are also not concerned with worldly affairs.

Therefore, in the heavenly court, affairs are mainly handled by the star kings of each palace. For example, in the Taibai Palace where Xiao Qingyun is located, the person in charge is the "Taibai Xingjun" who is a Mahayana practitioner!

A palace has a master, and naturally there are secondary stars. Under the master of the palace, there are secondary auxiliary star monarchs. Most of them are combined cultivations, but there are also many people like Xiao Qingyun who rely on their background and take the back door. They can also return to the virtual realm. Obtained the title of Star Lord.

This is the Heavenly Court. Under the Heavenly Court, there are also major portals, which inherit the ancient immortals and gods. They occupy the famous mountains and rivers in this earthly immortal world and form various forces. Some are immortals who can transcend tribulations, and some are supported by the Mahayana. Even if this kind of immortal power is as powerful as Heaven, it still has to sell a bit thinly.

Next is the combined force. Although there is no real immortal background or Mahayana background, the combined force can still be regarded as a powerful monk. It is enough to take root in one place, establish a sect, and form a small force in the earthly immortal world. Except for the need to accept recruitment from the heaven during war. , On weekdays, barely enough can be considered freedom.

This is the ecological environment and power structure of the Earthly Immortal World.

Messy, but not that messy.

How can we take root in such a situation?

Xu Yang was riding on the clouds, looking up, and saw a celestial palace looming in the sky, above the sky.

It's heaven!

In the Earthly Immortal Realm, there is the spirit of immortals, mostly in the essence of the sun and moon. The Heavenly Court stands high in the sky and is above the sky. It can absorb the essence of the sun and moon and the energy of immortal spirits to the greatest extent, so its strength has always been the best in the Earthly Immortal Realm. most.

However, the Earthly Immortal Realm is too vast. Although the Heavenly Court is powerful, it cannot rule them all. Many places have only one name, and are even in a state of "imperial power does not descend to the heavens." As long as they do not raise a flag to rebel or violate their fundamental interests, the Heavenly Court will basically rule. Just let it go and ignore it.

According to Xiao Qingyun's memory, this immortal world can be divided into four states and two regions.

The four states are the four major continents, the east is victorious, the west is cattle, the south is looked at, and the north is united!

Those who conquer China in the East, respect heaven and earth, Taoism and Confucianism are the fundamental ruling areas of heaven.

Those who live in Hezhou, Xiniu, do not fight or kill, devote themselves to worshiping Buddha, regard Shimen as their respect, and form an alliance with the heaven.

Those who look south to the continent, there are many killings and fights, and the chaos is very high. The three religions of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, as well as heretics and even demons and evil cultivators, all kinds of great traditions and inheritances are located in it. No matter heaven or Buddhism, it is difficult to control it, and there is a situation. A different kind of lushness.

Luzhou in the north is an ancient barbaric land with barren mountains and rivers, and is very dangerous. There are even giant beasts from ancient times dormant. It is connected to the Demon Realm, one of the two realms, and has a hundred thousand demon kingdoms standing tit for tat with the Heaven.

The last realm is the Demon Realm, located in the southwest corner. It contains the Nine Nether Demon Abyss, adjacent to the two states of Xiniu and Nanzhan. The Demon God brings disaster and is so powerful that it is the main opponent of Heaven and Buddhism, often causing wars. .

These are the four states and two regions of the Earthly Immortal Realm, each with its own characteristics.

Xu Yang needs to choose one of them to settle down and develop his business.

How to choose?

First of all, exclude the two states of East Victory and West Niu, which are the basic base of Heavenly Buddhism and the place with the strongest dominance, and there is no room for an outsider like him to take root.

As for Beiju Luzhou, it has barren mountains and rivers, and is connected to the Demon Realm. Hundreds of thousands of demon kingdoms are eyeing it. It is also not a good place for development.

In this way, there is only a mixed and chaotic Nanzhan continent left!

"Chaos has its benefits!"

Xu Yang smiled, and the auspicious clouds disappeared, riding on the five-color divine light, heading straight to the south.
