Chapter 207 Three Paths, the Dream of the Spiritual Realm. (5.2K chapter. 500,000 words.)
Is this the legendary Longhu Mountain's unique martial arts, the Sword of Killing Evils and Demons?
This sword move needs to be performed with three or five male and female swords to exert its most powerful power.
Although the old Tianshi only used two thousand-level divine weapons to perform it, the power it caused was also earth-shaking, shocking countless people.
Originally, it was thought that Pei Xuanjing's sword move, which seemed like a punishment from heaven, was already the strongest sword in the world.
But I didn't expect that the old Tianshi's sword was not much inferior to Pei Xuanjing's Shenxiao Tianyi Sword.
The golden light of killing evils and demons contained in the surging sword energy made some masters of the two ways of evil and demons who hid their tracks and disguised themselves extremely fearful, and they were suppressed and even had difficulty breathing.
Boom!
The fierce waves swept in all directions, and many warriors watching outside the martial arts arena felt as if the sky was collapsing and the earth was cracking. Then these huge waves were like the bursting of the river, and the endless water of the river poured down towards them.
The sharp sword energy, the wanton agitation of the true energy, the boiling and hot blood, these things intertwined together, making many people change color in horror.
Retreat!
This is the first thought that arises in many people's minds!
Countless warriors are very tacit, while running the true energy and blood to resist these waves, they suddenly retreat.
The smoke and dust dissipated, and the figures of the two people appeared.
Pei Xuanjing looked at the broken Shenxiao Sword in his hand with some regret: "What a pity."
Since Xuanfu got this magic weapon, he has relied on the magic weapon all the way. I don't know how many opponents he has killed and how many dangers he has survived. But I didn't expect that it would be destroyed on Longhu Mountain today.
The Divine Sword could not withstand the fight between the two, so it broke. The two magic weapons in the hands of the old Tianshi were even inferior to the Divine Sword, so they were also cut off.
Although the destruction of the magic weapons was a pity for the old Tianshi, the gains from this battle were far beyond imagination.
The fight between the two had broken the limit that the world could bear now. If it were not for the fact that this martial arts field was made of black iron, I am afraid that this Longhu Mountain would have been cut off.
It was because of this that the two people realized many things in the last moment.
In an instant, the minds of the two people seemed to be united with the world, and there was an inexplicable feeling flowing in front of their eyes. They felt the unpredictable aura between the world.
Unity of heaven and man!
Both of them understood that this was the state of unity of heaven and man pursued by Taoists.
They saw the next path and how to break through the first-grade realm.
Pei Xuanjing had a faint joy on his face. Although the time of unity of heaven and man was very short, only a few breaths, it did allow him to verify his guess and clarify the future path.
Martial arts practice, tempering muscles, bones, skin membranes, quenching organs, blood and marrow, and then rebirth and blood transfusion, entering the limit of martial arts.
And such practice, before the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, was called the mortal realm.
Only by breaking the shackles and entering the spiritual realm can one truly embark on the road of practice.
Thinking of this, Pei Xuanjing looked at the old Taoist priest with a smile on his face and a brilliant light in his eyes, knowing that the other party had also gained a lot.
The two couldn't help but smile at each other.
"It is a great honor for the old Taoist to be able to discuss martial arts with fellow Taoists today."
"Master, you are polite. Thank you for your guidance today."
The two were in harmony, as if the people who just fought were not them.
The onlookers looked strange.
"Hello, teacher, hello, immortal." Yu Yangzi strode forward, came to the front of the two people in a few steps, and said.
When speaking, looking at this young face, Yu Yangzi couldn't help but feel very strange in his heart. After thinking for a long time, he thought of the title of this immortal.
In theory, Pei Xuanjing's strength is comparable to that of the old Taoist priest, but he is too young, so Yu Yangzi really didn't dare to call him out.
"Meet Master Yu Yangzi." Pei Xuanjing nodded in return.
The old Taoist priest nodded, looked at his disciple, guessed the disciple's intention and asked, "Do you want to ask about the victory or defeat?"
Yu Yangzi nodded, and heard the old Taoist priest and Pei Xuan recognize each other, saying, "Today, we are evenly matched!"
Yu Yangzi's face remained unchanged, and there were turbulent waves in his heart. However, although his long-term Qi cultivation made him appear very calm, both Pei Xuanjing and the old Taoist priest noticed his abnormality.
However, the old Taoist priest didn't care about his disciple's thoughts at all, and said to Pei Xuanjing, "Why don't you and I change clothes first, and then talk about the Tao?"
Pei Xuanjing smiled and nodded, "That's great!"
The two left hand in hand, leaving Yu Yangzi alone in the wind.
Just as everyone in the distance wanted to know who won and who lost, a barely detectable voice came out.
Crack!
Yu Yangzi's expression suddenly changed slightly, and a look of regret appeared in his eyes. He looked reluctantly at the martial arts arena under his feet, which he had spent countless gold and silver to build and regarded as a treasure of Longhu Mountain.
Continuous sounds came out, and countless cracks appeared on the originally solid martial arts arena under his feet.
Collapse!
The martial arts arena suddenly exploded, turning into countless fragments of different sizes, and building out in all directions!
"Well!" The warriors watching were overjoyed when they saw this.
"Everyone, this is my Longhu Mountain thing, please." Before Yu Yangzi finished speaking, he heard someone shouting.
"Quick, if you can get the fragments with sword marks, you can understand the swordsmanship of these two strongest men."
In fact, no one needs to remind them. When the fragments burst out, some smart people immediately took action to capture and find those fragments with sword marks.
For everyone present, these sword marks are rare treasures, which are of great benefit to martial arts practice.
Even strong men like Zhao Baiyang and Fengdu Ghost Emperor did not hesitate to plunder.
For them, even if they don't need to learn the swordsmanship, the sword marks carrying the martial arts of Pei Xuanjing and the old Tianshi can also be used to verify the martial arts and gain.
So, no one paid attention to Yu Yangzi's words, no one listened to them, and everyone plundered.
The law does not punish the masses. With so many people taking action, even Longhu Mountain cannot suppress everyone.
Moreover, Yu Yangzi also knew that the existence of this martial arts arena, such as Zhenwu Sect, Chunyang Sect and other major forces have long been jealous, but because of their status, they were embarrassed to speak up and could only watch.
Now that they have the opportunity, how can these forces be polite? They wish to divide these things up completely, leaving nothing behind.
So Yu Yangzi immediately gave up the idea of stopping it, and at the same time asked the strong men from Longhu Mountain to take action and seize the fragments with sword marks to reduce losses.
The next morning, the sun rose in the east, on a peak of Longhu Mountain.
Pei Xuanjing sat cross-legged on the cloud platform, his eyes slightly closed, breathing slowly, absorbing the purple air of the morning sun.
While absorbing the purple air of the morning sun, Pei Xuanjing's mind was running fast, recalling the insights of yesterday's brief unity of heaven and man.
With the mysterious experience of yesterday, he has determined what the future holds, and even has some general speculations about spiritual realm cultivation.
Just as he had deduced before, when a warrior reaches the peak, he can step into the spiritual realm by refining essence, refining qi, and refining spirit.
The way of refining essence is mainly to spiritualize the body. The warrior polishes and refines the body with the natural power of heaven and earth to make it transform. When the body is completely spiritualized, it will naturally step into the spiritual realm.
After the spiritual realm, the practice of refining essence should be to condense the body's acupoints, constantly strengthen the body, and then wait for the acupoints of the whole body to be condensed, and the body will be perfected, and the realm of immortality can be achieved.
The way of refining qi is mainly to condense true qi. According to Pei Xuanjing's calculation based on some memories and knowledge of his previous life, it should be to break the barrier between the human body and heaven and earth, let the essence of heaven and earth enter the body and constantly merge with the true qi in the body to transform into vital energy. After the true qi of the whole body is transformed into vital energy, it can be considered to be promoted to the spiritual realm.
The way of cultivation afterwards is to constantly purify and compress the vital energy, so that one's vital energy can constantly blend with the essence of heaven and earth, and finally reach the point where one can use the vital energy to mobilize the power of heaven and earth.
The way of refining the spirit is that Pei Xuanjing believes that with the true meaning of martial arts as the foundation, one can constantly strengthen one's will, transform the originally illusory will into a mysterious soul, and then it can be considered to have entered the spiritual realm.
As for how to practice after the way of refining the spirit is promoted to the spiritual realm, Pei Xuanjing has not yet made too many clues, but just determined that it is to constantly strengthen one's soul and transform it into the legendary primordial spirit.
Three roads, spirit, energy and spirit.
Each road goes to the extreme, corresponding to the immortality of the flesh, the endless vital energy, and the immortality of the soul.
Pei Xuanjing even speculated that if someone can really go to the extreme of all three roads, I am afraid that it will not be much worse than the legendary immortals.
Of course, all this is Pei Xuanjing's guess, and the final result remains to be discussed. It should be clear that he is still a warrior who has reached the peak of the mortal realm. Even the spiritualization of his physical body has just begun. He has not really entered the spiritual realm, and he is even further away from the legendary immortals.
However, Pei Xuanjing was not discouraged by this. After all, compared with many warriors who are still uncertain about the future, he has found his own way forward and knows which direction to work hard in. This is already a great fortune.
"But, if this is true, then there will be conflicts and contradictions with the immortals inferred from the information obtained before." He thought secretly in his heart.
According to the information Pei Xuanjing originally obtained and his speculation, there are five types of immortals: heaven, earth, man, gods and ghosts.
However, if this way of spirit, energy and spirit can really become immortals when it reaches the extreme, there are only three types, which conflicts with the previous speculation.
Huh!
After a long time, Pei Xuanjing exhaled a mouthful of dirty air, and then stopped breathing, slowly opened his eyes, and there was a divine light flashing in his eyes.
Although there are still many doubts and difficulties that have not been solved, he doesn't care much.
The inheritance of cultivation was cut off, and it was difficult to resume the path of cultivation, which was within his expectations.
The path of opening up the way was originally a journey of exploration.
If Pei Xuanjing could understand the way to become an immortal so easily at this time, then the achievement of this immortal god would be too simple. And where would the countless talented sages and great men from ancient times to the present be placed.
He was very happy to be able to use this opportunity of unity between heaven and man to clarify the path to break through the spiritual realm.
Moreover, with the simulator in hand, Pei Xuanjing had countless opportunities for trial and error. As long as he was down-to-earth and moved forward step by step, he believed that he could definitely open up a path to become an immortal.
Suddenly, Pei Xuanjing's eyes moved slightly, and he chuckled, "Brother Zhao has always been so elusive?"
He was not surprised at all by Zhao Baiyang's appearance. During the fight yesterday, he had already noticed the Qi of many extremely powerful masters hidden in the crowd.
Although these people changed their appearance, when Pei Xuanjing and Lao Tianshi fought, they also revealed their Qi invisibly. Although it was only fleeting, both Pei Xuanjing and Lao Tianshi captured it.
He originally thought that Zhao Baiyang had left with the warriors, but he didn't expect that he would still stay on the mountain and come to spy on him.
"Hahaha!" Zhao Baiyang's figure appeared a few feet away. He originally thought that he had hidden himself very cleverly, but unexpectedly, he was easily broken by Pei Xuanjing.
But even if his traces were broken, he didn't care and said with a big smile: "Brother Pei made a big splash yesterday. His style makes Mr. Zhao yearn for him!"
Before witnessing this battle, although Zhao Baiyang felt that Pei Xuanjing was powerful, he was no match for the old Heavenly Master.
But the strength shown by Pei Xuanjing yesterday undoubtedly told Zhao Baiyang what it means to treat him with admiration after three days of separation!
The other party's strength far exceeded his imagination, and had surpassed himself, enough to stand shoulder to shoulder with the old Heavenly Master.
Pei Xuanjing did not comment on this, and there was a strange flash in his eyes, and he said quietly: "Brother Zhao is here today, aren't you afraid that I will leave you here?"
As he spoke, the gentleness in his body disappeared, and his aura gradually increased. His energy was locked on Zhao Baiyang, and he seemed to be taking action at the slightest sign of disagreement.
"Huh?" Zhao Baiyang couldn't help but frown, not knowing whether Pei Xuanjing was telling the truth or not.
After all, the current Pei Xuanjing is not the same as before. There is really a possibility that the other party will keep him, and he can't help but feel wary.
However, vigilance must be vigilance, so timidity cannot be ignored at this time. Zhao Baiyang pretended to be heroic and said: "If Brother Pei is interested, Zhao wouldn't mind having a few tricks with Brother Pei to see what he can do to be the best in the world in the future."
Although Yuyangzi announced yesterday that the match between the two ended in a draw, it also caused huge waves.
And looking at the two of them, one has been declining for more than two hundred years, while the other has just passed thirty and is like the rising sun. Needless to say, who of these two will be more terrifying in the future.
Therefore, after yesterday, some good people began to praise Pei Xuanjing as the best person in the world in the future, showing no trace of good intentions.
Pei Xuanjing looked at Zhao Baiyang with a faint smile: "Since Brother Zhao is interested, then Pei is naturally embarrassed to refuse."
The aura on his body continued to rise, his wrists moved slowly, the innate thunder energy circulated in his body, purple-green thunder light gathered in the palm of his hand, and a penetrating aura began to slowly emit from himself.
Zhao Baiyang also narrowed his eyes slightly, and slowly lowered his hands behind his back. His fingers flicked, and his energy flowed, creating visible waves around him.
Hoo ho ho.
On the top of the mountain, strong winds began to rise, and the war was about to break out.
"Ahem."
Before anyone arrives, the voice comes first.
The sound of coughing came from a distance, and the voice of the old master came slowly from above: "Are you two trying to destroy the mountain used for meditation on Lao Dao?"
A figure descended between the two of them, and its gentle aura separated the two people's free flowing Qi.
Seeing the appearance of the old Heavenly Master, the two of them dispersed their moves in a tacit understanding.
"Master Tian was joking." Pei Xuanjing said with a smile.
This mountain peak was originally a training ground belonging to the old Heavenly Master, but it was lent to Pei Xuanjing for use today.
"I've met the Celestial Master!" Zhao Baiyang bowed his hands to the old Celestial Master.
The old Heavenly Master looked around the two of them and said with a smile: "Can you two give me some face? Let's stop for today."
Pei Xuanjing had no intention of taking action. He chuckled and said, "When the Heavenly Master opens his mouth, is there any reason not to obey?"
"Guests and hosts do as they please, Heavenly Master has the final say."
Zhao Baiyang came here today to tell Pei Xuanjing something. He had no idea of taking action with Pei Xuanjing. Since the old master opened his mouth, he also went down the steps.
After the war was over, the old master suggested that if he wanted to discuss Taoism with the two of them, it was natural for Pei Xuanjing to do so. He originally wanted to discuss the Tao with the old master to verify what he had learned.
Thinking of the martial arts practiced by this Maitreya leader, a smile appeared on his lips and he did not refuse.
A hint of surprise flashed in Zhao Baiyang's eyes. He didn't expect to encounter such a good thing when he came today. He was naturally willing to participate and wanted to discuss the truth with these two people who were the first in the world of martial arts.
The three of them each chose a huge stone and sat down in a pose.
The old Heavenly Master spoke first, and he asked Pei Xuanjing with a smile on his face: "I guess my fellow Taoist also entered the realm of unity between heaven and man yesterday."
"Not bad!" Pei Xuan nodded.
Heaven and man are one!
Zhao Baiyang's eyes flashed with deep envy. He never thought that the two of them would have such an opportunity to enter the legendary realm of unity between man and nature during yesterday's battle.
The two of them saw their envy for Zhao Baiyang and didn't say much about it.
I only heard the old Heavenly Master sighing softly: "I remember that after practicing hard for two hundred years and reaching the pinnacle of martial arts, I realized the bitterness of the predecessors. I know that there is a way forward, but I can't move forward because of the constraints of heaven and earth. It's really sad. sigh."
Sometimes, the saddest thing is not being able to see the way forward.
The saddest thing is that we have clearly felt or seen the way forward, but because of the constraints of heaven and earth, we are still unable to move forward. In the end, we can only watch helplessly. This is so sad and lamentable.
Since the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, there are countless people with extraordinary talents who can only sit and die helplessly. How sad.
Pei Xuanjing has not practiced for a long time, and has been constantly improving, so he does not have a deep understanding of this.
Zhao Baiyang nodded gently, feeling the same way.
Before the world changed, it was difficult for ordinary warriors to enter the spiritual realm, but it was not really a life-and-death struggle, otherwise there would not be so many cultivators.
At his level, he has also felt the constraints of heaven and earth. If it were not for the shackles of heaven and earth, with his talent, he would have entered the spiritual realm long ago.
For so many years, Zhao Baiyang has been constantly collecting the fragments of the scattered branches of the White Lotus Sect in order to find a way forward.
No one is willing to stay where they are and not move forward, especially under the temptation of a long life.
"Today, I, the old Taoist, dare to follow the example of ancient sages and invite two Taoist friends to sit down and discuss Taoism. No matter grudges or right or wrong, we will only discuss cultivation and seek the path of Taoism together. I wonder which Taoist friend is willing to come first?" The old Taoist priest said slowly.
Pei Xuanjing and Zhao Baiyang looked at each other and made a decision immediately.
Zhao Baiyang smiled heartily: "Today, Zhao is lucky to sit down and discuss Taoism with you two. Why don't I throw out some ideas to inspire others!"
