True Immortal of the Netherworld

In the northwest of the Zhongyuan Continent stands a majestic pass, bordering the plateau to the west and Juejian to the east, named Hangu Pass.

In ancient times, in the legendary fairy world, a Taoist deity wearing a Huntian Taoist robe once came to the Zhongyuan world in an incarnation. This Taoist deity is so powerful that he can cut off rivers with one hand and move mountains with his breath. When he left the Zhongyuan Realm and returned to the Immortal Realm, he passed through Hangu Pass.

Some people say that this Taoist Heavenly Lord once left a copy of the "True Tao Te Tian Jing" to enlighten and teach people in the Zhongyuan world to cultivate their true faith. From then on, Taoism began to rise in the Zhongyuan world. Become the faith of a prosperous generation. But no one has ever seen the original copy of the True Tao Te Ching.

Some people also say that this Taoist deity never left. His body turned into nine true lotuses eight hundred miles north of Hangu Pass, leading the way to heaven and earth, and purging evil spirits. Finally, the nine true lotuses turned into the current True Lotus Mountain. It has been guarding the northwest border of Zhongyuan Continent for generations.

Zhenlian Mountain, also known as Qinglian Mountain, has nine peaks that look like lotus flowers. It is the location of the "Qinglian Dojo", the largest Taoist sect in Zhongyuan Continent. On the ninth peak of Qinglian Dojo, there is a Taoist Saint Lotus Pond, which is a source of blessings left by the Taoist God. After being baptized in the Taoist Lotus Pond, several real people who achieved Taoism emerged from the monks of Qinglian Dojo. Therefore, Qinglian Dojo is also commonly known as True Lotus Dojo.

In the Taoist Holy Lotus Pond, there are green lotuses from all seasons, colorful and filled with Taoist atmosphere.

At this time, in the center of the lotus pond, surrounded by many green lotuses, a young man with eyes like stars was sitting on a lotus leaf. The young man's long hair was simply tied back, and his aqua blue gown hung lightly on the water, but it was not stained by any water stains. It was Liu Haiyu who, after returning to Qinglian Dojo, received the permission from Qing Guzi, the supreme master of Qinglian Dojo, to practice here.

Liu Haiyu has been meditating here for forty-eight days.

If the time in the Tao Saint Lotus Pond exceeds seven or seventy-nine days, a Tao disaster will surely come. The people inside will be assimilated into lotus flowers by the colorful mist, lose their souls, and their Tao fruits will be taken back by the Tao Saint Lotus Pond. Only those who understand the great way of heaven and earth can recast their souls and break through the tribulation of being transformed into a green lotus. Then, the green lotus root becomes the bone, the lotus leaves become the clothes, the lotus pod is the head, and the lotus seeds are the eyes. They can cultivate the body of the true lotus and then have the opportunity to achieve great things. A true Taoist.

The levels of Taoist real people include four levels: primary level, intermediate level, advanced level and ultimate level. Usually the corresponding cultivation realms are Daoming Realm, Heavenly Tribulation Realm, Virtual Immortal Realm and Shenyan Realm. To break through to the ultimate realm is to break the void and enter the fairyland.

Circles of bright aqua blue ripples formed on the surface of Liu Haiyu's body in the Dao Sheng Lotus Pond, and his whole body flashed like a body of blue water.

Through the blue light, he could actually see Nascent Soul sitting cross-legged and meditating in his Zifu space. The Nascent Soul, which is as golden as glass, has the appearance of a baby, and its eyebrows are very similar to Liu Haiyu's. A blue water eye between the eyebrows is rippling with the aura of the stormy waves.

Nascent Soul pinches out the lotus seal with both hands, as if holding a colorful real lotus in his hands, emitting colorful brilliance in the shape of lotus petals, pure and holy. Liu Haiyu's hands also made lotus prints, and his slender white fingertips moved like water, as if a real lotus was blooming.

"The Tao can be Tao, but it is not Tao. The name can be named, but it is not named. The beginning of the unnamed heaven and earth. The mother of all things is named. Therefore, there is always no desire to observe its wonders. There is always desire to observe its beauty. These two have the same origin but different names. They are both called mysteries. Mysteries are mysteries, and they are the door to all mysteries..." Liu Haiyu silently recited the Taoist Sect's broad and supreme mind without any distractions.

The Taoist general mental method that Liu Haiyu read is said to be the evolved version of the "True Tao Te Ching" left by the Taoist deity who came out of Hangu Pass, and is known as the "Tao Te Ching".

This "Tao Te Ching" is generally learned by ordinary people without spiritual veins, and it can also be learned by powerful Taoists who have cultivated to the highest level. As long as you are sincere, believe in Taoism, and recite the Tao Te Ching silently, your soul will enter the Taoist realm in your heart.

It's just that everyone's understanding is different, and the results are very different. Everyone's Tao realm is different. Some are a clear stream, some are a turbulent river, and some are vast oceans. Some are a mound, some are a hill, some are a towering mountain... It varies from person to person, but the world is as big as the heart is.

At this time, Liu Haiyu also entered his own Tao realm.

His Dao realm turned out to be a vast star field.

It was a boundless area, with stars clustering around it. The light and shadow flowed like the waves of the Milky Way a million miles away, and the brilliance was extremely bright.

Liu Haiyu's soul turned into a projection, and he was placed in the dazzling Milky Way. His eyes were like stars, and his blue clothes were like water, as if he had merged with the bright Milky Way. Maybe he is one star, maybe he is seven stars, or even more maybe he is a collection of tens of millions of stars.

Mortals have mortal eyes, and immortals have fairy eyes. But in Liu Haiyu's eyes, each of the countless stars in the dazzling galaxy is the result of a destiny. The heart of the Tao produces the fate of the Tao, and the fate of the Tao produces the fruit of the Tao.

It is said that the size of the Taoist realm in the heart means the size of the Taoist achievements. But some people disagree. It is often difficult for Taoist disciples who have too great a Taoist realm in their hearts to break through the bottleneck of cultivation.

"Is this the Tao realm in my heart?" Liu Haiyu's soul projection murmured to himself.

"Where is my way? Among the many stars in the sky? Maybe one, maybe ten, maybe a thousand, maybe the entire galaxy."

In terms of talent, understanding, and Taoist heart, there is no doubt that Liu Haiyu is at the top. Just as his master Qing Guzi was optimistic about him. Talent, understanding, and Taoist heart determine the vision of a Taoist cultivator. In the vast galaxy, chasing one star, or hundreds of stars, is far away and ethereal. But Liu Haiyu's vision was so broad that the entire Milky Way suddenly became infinitesimally small in his eyes.

It was as small as a piece of red that he caught with his palm next to the peach blossom tree.

It was as small as a drop of crystal that he touched lightly with his fingertips under the waterfall.

It was so small that it was a touch of freshness that he sniffed with his nose at the top of the mountain.

…

Following the reflection of his soul reflected in the Tao realm in his heart, Liu Haiyu's cultivation level, which was sitting cross-legged, improved by leaps and bounds. He was originally at the first level of Yuanhun Realm. In these forty-eight days, he successfully broke through to the second level of Yuanhun Realm, and then to the peak of Yuanhun Realm, almost touching the threshold of Daoming Realm. .

One day, maybe Liu Haiyu can really use the power of the Dao Saint Lotus Pond to achieve the body of a true lotus, thereby breaking through to the Dao Ming realm.

…

In a simple and unknown cave in Zhenlian Dojo. A quasi-real person with a childlike face and long-sleeved blue robe holds a thousand-silk Tai Chi whisk in his right hand and is looking intently at a bronze mirror on the opposite wall.

The bronze mirror clearly reflected the shadow of Liu Haiyu who was practicing in the Taoist Saint Lotus Pond. At this time, Liu Haiyu was dressed in blue and was floating gently rhythmically. Thousands of thin water lines emanated from his body from the inside out. Although these water lines were numerous, they were gentle and orderly, and were meticulously cleansing his body and body. , making it spotless, just like the real lotus petals clustered around him, spotless, or in other words, purer than those real lotus petals.

"My beloved disciple really did not disappoint me. The Taoist heart is clear, the Taoist connection is deep, and the Taoist fruit is solid. There is great hope that he will become a true lotus body tomorrow. The future is limitless." Qing Guzi, the Supreme Master of Qinglian Dojo Gu Zi whispered, a look of satisfaction on his face. The silver Qiansi Tai Chi whisk in his right hand was waved gracefully, bringing out a cheerful colorful glow out of thin air.

Seeing that Liu Haiyu's cultivation was going smoothly, Qing Guzi was about to turn around and leave, when suddenly his eyes seemed to catch something on the bronze mirror? He frowned and locked his eyes tightly on it.

It was an extremely thin red thread, tied at Liu Haiyu's heart. As the water line released by Liu Haiyu gently washed away, it was like a red thread among thousands of blue threads, making it extremely difficult to detect. The other end flickered and appeared, not knowing where it was.

"Is it just a trace of earthly fate?" Qing Guzi's frown relaxed after he saw the slender red line clearly.

The Taoist lineage does not exclude worldly fate. On the contrary, an earthly relationship is a path relationship, and a perfect earthly relationship is a path fruit.

"When you first awaken to love, this is the way of heaven and earth. It doesn't matter." Qing Guzi whispered, while gently pinching the other fingers with his uneasy thumb.

The art of usurping fate is generally beyond human power.

After a monk's cultivation reaches the virtual fairyland, he can first get a glimpse of the power of thousands of laws in the great avenue of heaven and earth. Maybe it's one law, maybe two... It won't be many, but it will give you the capital to peek into the way of heaven. This is different from the fortune tellers who pull banners and tell fortunes in the mortal world. Most of those fortune tellers use deceptive "mind-reading skills", using verbal inducements to deceive the person asking for a fortune into asking and thinking, and by blocking both sides, they can naturally make some calculations. The art of usurping one's life by a cultivator requires profound cultivation before it can be activated using secret methods.

As the Supreme Leader of Qinglian Dojo and Master Liu Haiyu's master, Qing Guzi's cultivation level has already reached the Void Immortal Realm, and he has even faintly stepped into the higher-level Divine Expansion Realm. But even so, it is extremely risky to use the art of usurping fate to peek at the way of heaven and calculate the future. Once you accidentally come into contact with a major event that changes your destiny, you will be punished by the power of the interface. It can range from being bruised all over your body to losing your cultivation level. Some of the skills of usurping fate can touch the dragon's reverse of the power of the interface. scales, the caster will be directly obliterated by the power of the interface, and will never die.

But Qing Guzi wanted to allow his beloved disciple Liu Haiyu to successfully cultivate the true lotus body and lay a solid foundation for the great success of Taoism in the future. Even if he doesn't hesitate to use the art of usurping his life, he has to calculate what the destiny on the other side of this red thread will bring to Liu Haiyu? Even if there is a hint of crisis, Qing Guzi is not happy to see it.

Qing Guzi narrowed his eyes slightly and placed the Thousand Silk Tai Chi Whisk in his right hand on his left hand. Exhale a deep breath, then move the thumb of your right hand up and down regularly on the knuckles of the other four fingers, and tap them gently. With every click, a milky white light spot pops up, like the eye of a star.

After a while, Qing Guzi withdrew his life-stealing fingering and said to himself: "The woman on the other end of the red line is being trapped by someone's formation. If something happens to her at this time, maybe my disciple will know about it and it will affect her. His state of mind will eventually affect his Daoguo. It is better to let Hai Yu come to the rescue and complete this fate."
