Eternal Tranquility

Liu Qinghuan sat down on a flat bluestone by the pool, summoned the three spirit beasts, and ordered: "Find a place to practice by yourself. If you don't want to practice, just walk around nearby, but you can't go far. This is someone else's place after all. "

Chu Yi obediently sat down next to him, while Fu Bao rolled his eyes and pulled Xiao Hei to the side to talk quietly.

Liu Qinghuan didn't bother to care about them. He relaxed on the stone behind him, and the cool mist poured down from his head. He seemed to be sitting on the clouds. He lowered his head, and the green leaves and red flowers in the pond were looming in the white mist. In the middle, the aura is compelling.

At this moment, Liu Qinghuan felt that everything inside was soaked with a faint fragrance, and his mind was as clear as ever. He stared at a small lotus bud that had just grown not far away, his expression gradually focused, watching it grow up, fading away from the green color on the outside, revealing the light red petals, and slowly blooming...

The whole process seemed to take only a moment. When Liu Qinghuan suddenly woke up, he realized that several days had passed.

Looking thoughtfully at the lotus flower that was already in full bloom, Liu Qinghuan slowly closed her eyes and entered trance.

The realm of integration is another great realm on the road to immortality. In the previous state, the monk's soul merged with the Nascent Soul to become the Yang God. From yin deficiency to yang reality, his true soul grew stronger step by step until yin and yang were natural, virtual and real, and became more integrated with the physical body. In the end, heaven and man correspond, which is the state of union.

The so-called Buddhist practice is to cultivate the afterlife in order to save all sentient beings, while the Taoist practice is to cultivate this life and focus more on oneself. The entire process of cultivation is to continuously make oneself stronger from body to soul and closer to the Oneness of Heaven and Man.

If you want to reach the ultimate state of oneness between heaven and humanity, the bottlenecks and difficulties you face are like a chasm, which is extremely difficult to cross.

Liu Qinghuan was focused on nothing else, and his whole body seemed to turn into a piece of bluestone beside the pond of enlightenment, and all the things in the world were forgotten.

…

Wanhujie is a small immortal city.

The monk behind the counter was guarding the empty teahouse. While he was sleeping, a man wearing a curtain hat walked in, blocking the light leaking in from the window.

He lazily raised his head and said: "What kind of tea does the guest want? We have it..."

His words suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on the table, where there had just been an inch-long piece of black wood iron order.

The laziness in the look of the monk guarding the shop suddenly disappeared. He looked behind the person warily and lowered his voice: "Follow me."

The two walked through the front store and came to the back corridor. The monk who kept the store knocked on the door a few times and reached out to open it.

The originally heated argument suddenly disappeared completely the moment the door opened. A figure quickly came to the door, looked at the two of them carefully, and then stepped aside.

From the crack in the door, we could see that there seemed to be several people inside. Before we could see clearly, the door was quickly closed after the people entered.

…

Yunmengze, Eagle Nest City.

There were many monks gathered in front of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, but most of them were below the level of pill formation. They were all blushing and shouting so loudly that they could be heard from several streets away.

There were many onlookers outside, pointing and whispering at the group of monks.

"Are these casual cultivators crazy? Haven't the profits from Taixuanji Really Great Cave Heaven been shared among the casual cultivators alliance? What are they making trouble now?"

"I want more. The so-called human heart is not enough but the snake swallows the elephant. How can there be satisfaction? Alas, Taixuanji Zhendongtian has finally made some improvements in recent years, why bother?"

But obviously some people disagreed with this argument. A casual cultivator next to him snorted: "Of course you monks with sects can stand and talk without pain. Most of the cultivation resources are occupied by sects and aristocratic families. What do we casual cultivators have?" ? No sect is reliable, so I have to fight for everything. Now I just want to increase the share of Da Dongtian. Is it greedy? "

He spat: "We just want some justice now!"

The two monks who were discussing before became unhappy after being said. One of them said in a very angry tone: "Fellow Taoist, what you said is meaningless. We have more cultivation resources, but every time something goes wrong, it's not the monks of the sect. Rush to the front?"

"Yes, take the previous seal war as an example. You monks can still hide, but our sect monks can only rush forward. If you dare to take a step back, you will be treated as a traitor. How many of us died at that time ?Why didn’t you come out and scream for justice at that time!”

The casual cultivator showed a sarcastic smile: "Rogue cultivators can also take responsibility. As long as we are given equal training resources, so what if I die!"

"That's a nice thing to say. I'm afraid that if something happens, you will all run faster than anyone else and you won't even be able to find your shadow!"

Both parties held their own opinions, and no one could convince the other. The noise soon became louder and louder, and more people joined in, making the front door of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance even more chaotic.

A female nun passed by the door quietly, turned the corner, and walked into an inconspicuous small door.

Behind the door was naturally the Immortal Cultivation Alliance. He passed through several courtyards and came to the small hall. When he entered the door, he said: "Are you going to let the group of people in front of the door make trouble? It feels like they are about to start a fight."

The old man sitting behind the case said without raising his head: "There are people watching, so it's not a big problem."

"What's going on now? Why are the casual cultivators making trouble again? It feels like something is wrong."

"Someone must be secretly instigating it."

The female cultivator looked solemn: "Who is instigating this? Could it be that someone from Jiuyou has sneaked into Yunmengze again?"

The old man twirled his long beard and said: "Let's not blame everything on Jiuyou. Maybe it's just the casual cultivator alliance that wants to get a bigger share of the pie."

"Have you forgotten what happened to the Ning family last time?" The female nun asked: "Originally, everyone thought it was two factions in the family fighting for power, but it turned out that one side had received help from Jiuyou and almost controlled the entire Ning family. Between the palms of your hands."

"And what's going on with the Yinxian Sect and Ziwei Sword Pavilion recently? It's said that there was a friction between the two sects in a medicine garden, and the discord between the disciples of the two sects suddenly widened, and they disliked each other when they met?"

The old man frowned and said: "Yeah, I can't understand the recent situation. I feel like it's about to become chaotic. I don't know when we can sort out the regulations."

"The four major sects are involved. Didn't the largest Wenshi sect and Shaoyang sect say anything?"

"This is a matter from above. We have nothing to do with it."

…

Liu Qinghuan felt something and slowly opened her eyes.

The lake is still full of white mist, with lotus leaves and flowers floating in it, unchanged. In the other three places by the pool, three spiritual beasts were still immersed in cultivation.

He smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that they had gained a lot these days. Even Xiao Hei, who was the least talented, had improved a lot and had reached the upper level of the fifth level.

And he himself has now reached the Great Consummation of the Yang Reality Realm, but he seems to have realized something secretly. Now is not the best time to advance to the integration stage.

Liu Qinghuan took back the artistic conception of Tao that naturally spread during practice, and said: "Everyone wake up, we have to go."
