Chapter 215: Pseudo Ascension

After meeting the two, the Heavenly Master mainly asked about their schoolwork.

Among the three masters, the Heavenly Master was the most approachable, and he was not just talking. If it did not involve the Dao Sect, the Heavenly Master at this time was more like an ordinary elder. If it was the National Master or the Earth Master, he would not ask about such trivial matters.

After the two answered one by one, Qi Xuansu began to ask about the ancient great witch's method of pseudo-ascension.

Facing these old people who can see through people's hearts, Qi Xuansu generally does not try to be smart and beat around the bush, but gets straight to the point and asks directly. Under the premise that these old people have good intentions towards him, this method can gain goodwill.

After listening, the Heavenly Master was not surprised, but just said: "It seems that you have initially understood the mystery of the 'Eternal Life Stone'."

Only Zhang Yuelu was confused. She knew the "Eternal Life Stone", but did not know what pseudo-ascension was. However, she was not stupid, and immediately realized that this must be related to Qi Xuansu's visit to Tianshui Yixin Tower. She didn't ask further at the time, but only knew that Qi Xuansu went to look up information about the ancient witch religion, and then he went to class normally these two days, almost forgetting about it.

Qi Xuansu saw Zhang Yuelu's doubts, half answered the Heavenly Master, and half explained to Zhang Yuelu: "I dare not say that I have understood it thoroughly. I mainly looked up the ancient books about the ancient witch religion, and then I learned that the ancient witches had a pseudo-ascension ceremony, which was not to leave the human world, but to ascend to the Lingshan Cave Heaven."

The Heavenly Master said: "There is indeed such a thing. There are relevant records in the notes left by the Ancestor Heavenly Master."

While speaking, the Heavenly Master stretched out his hand and grabbed, as if he passed through the many spaces between the Wanxiang Dao Palace and the Great Zhenren Mansion, and took a roll of bamboo slips out of thin air. Although papermaking had already existed in the time of the Ancestor Heavenly Master, bamboo slips were still the mainstream at that time. It always takes a gradual process for one thing to replace another, and it cannot be done overnight.

The Heavenly Master unfolded the bamboo slips, quickly glanced at them, and said, "In fact, the kind of pseudo-ascension you are talking about is not unique to the ancient witch religion. Taoism has also had it. However, the place where the Taoists pseudo-ascend to is Kunlun Cave Heaven. In the past, Kunlun Cave Heaven had another name, called 'Earthly Immortal Realm'. Because Kunlun Cave Heaven was at its peak, there were four states, so it was divided into four states, namely Dongsheng Shenzhou, Xiniu Hezhou, Nanzhanbuzhou, and Beijuluzhou. Of course, with the approach of the end of the law, Kunlun Cave Heaven gradually fell to the ground, and now Kunlun Cave Heaven is no longer in its prime. Flourishing, at most there is half a state left. "

Zhang Yuelu was a little surprised: "Kunlun Cave Heaven actually disappeared so quickly. I have read records before that there was still a state in the Xuansheng era."

Tianshi said: "In a few hundred years, even this half state will be gone."

Qi Xuansu interrupted: "Which state is this state? Just talking about the area, the difference between Xizhou and Jiangzhou is too big. Even if it is an overseas continent, Fenglinzhou cannot be compared with Borneo."

Zhang Yuelu said: "It is about the size of Zhongzhou."

Qi Xuansu understood.

He had been to Kunlun Cave Heaven after all, when he had a conflict with Wang Danqing. He also learned about the general situation of Kunlun Cave Heaven from some Taoist classics.

The structure of Kunlun Cave Heaven is very mysterious, somewhat similar to the legendary "Peach Blossom Spring". It is very small at first, and the deeper you go, the wider it becomes. Without considering the various "side doors" opened by the Taoist sect, entering Kunlun Cave Heaven from the normal route, it is just a mountain at first, and it becomes clear when you enter Luwu's residence. Then enter the Five Elements Cave Heaven from Luwu's residence. This place is also known as "Five Elements Heaven". It is the Taoist medicine garden. It was here that the six enlightened witches fought with Kunlun's gatekeeper Luwu God and refined the second generation of "Longevity Stone".

This place is already comparable to the land of several prefectures.

Beyond the Five Elements Cave Heaven is Kunlun Cave Heaven. In the past, Zixiao Palace was located in Kunlun Cave Heaven, but as Kunlun Cave Heaven landed and merged with the human world, Zixiao Palace was no longer in Kunlun Cave Heaven, but appeared on the top of Kunlun.

It just confirmed what Tianshi said that Kunlun Cave Heaven is shrinking.

From the overall point of view, the entire Kunlun Cave Heaven is like an upside-down mountain, and the top of the mountain is connected to the Kunlun Yuxu Peak in the human world, so entering the Kunlun Cave Heaven is from the "top of the mountain", and then going up all the way, and finally coming to the vast "foothill" area.

The Heavenly Master explained in depth: "As early as the ancient times, the Kunlun Cave Heaven had not been closed. When the immortals expired in the world for a hundred years, they would often go far away to the Kunlun Cave Heaven. In the eyes of ordinary people, this is the ascension to the Tao."

"At that time, many great supernatural powers had not yet passed away, and there was a sense of mixed living between human gods and gods. The Kunlun Cave Heaven was full of spiritual energy, and many earthly immortals lived in seclusion here to practice in order to survive the heavenly tribulation. Although the Kunlun Cave Heaven at this time was not the real thirty-three heavens, it was not far away. Therefore, the masters who could go to the Kunlun Cave Heaven were actually almost the same as immortals. This is also the reason why the Taoist sect in the past The reason why the earthly immortals have always been respected. "

"It's just that with the death of the incarnation of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor and the Emperor of Heaven, and the battle of Muye, the earthly immortals were either dead or injured, and most of the survivors chose to ascend and die, and the number of earthly immortals in Kunlun Cave Heaven has been decreasing. When the Zixiao Palace was closed, Kunlun Cave Heaven became a land without an owner, and the people in the Taoist sect started a war over the ownership of Kunlun Cave Heaven, which eventually led to the Nanhua Taoist Lord to close Kunlun Cave Heaven, leaving Lu Wu to take charge of Kunlun Cave Heaven and prohibiting people without opportunities from entering without permission. Only then did Kunlun Cave Heaven gradually become a legendary place in the eyes of later generations. "

"Later, the word 'Kunlun' no longer symbolized the fairyland, but was generally called the Taoist ancestral court. Many people who came to Kunlun according to the records in the classics only saw the snow-capped mountains and no trace of the fairyland. The records in the book are deliberately exaggerated by predecessors and are nothing more than imagination.”

"It wasn't until Xuansheng integrated the Taoist gates that the Kunlun Cave Heaven reappeared and landed. By the way, the 'Three Treasures Ruyi' is the key to the Kunlun Cave Heaven."

After Qi Xuansu heard this, he was greatly shocked, and then asked: "What is the relationship between Kunlun Cave Heaven and Lingshan Cave Heaven?"

"Of course it is related." The Heavenly Master said unhurriedly, "Both of them reach the same destination by different routes. I don't have the method of the great witch's ascension that you want to know here. Because the great witch's ascension requires the altar of the ancient witch religion and performs blood sacrifices. Those altars It has been destroyed long ago, and the Taoist sect opposes blood sacrifice and will not be rebuilt. However, the Taoist sect’s pseudo-ascension method is essentially the same as the great witch’s ascension method. I have this pseudo-ascension method.”

Zhang Yuelu asked curiously: "Does it also require ascending to the Kunlun Cave? Isn't there a normal entrance portal?"

The Heavenly Master said: "Because the normal way is to pass through the Five Elements Heaven, the Six Enlightened Wizards are blocking the way, and the God Lu Wu is in charge, so it is necessary to directly enter the Kunlun Cave Heaven through the method of pseudo-ascension. However, the Kunlun Cave Heaven was closed later, and this pseudo-ascension method It is also impossible to enter the Kunlun Cave, so it only exists in ancient records and is almost lost. That is to say, our Zhang family’s inheritance has never been cut off, so we still have a complete pseudo-ascension method.”

Qi Xuansu couldn't help but ask: "Doesn't the Dao Sect's pseudo-ascension method require an altar and blood sacrifice?"

"No need." The Heavenly Master said, "The reason why the great witches of the ancient witch sect need altars and blood sacrifices is not for pseudo-ascension, but for changing the body. It's just that the ancestral witches integrated pseudo-ascension and body-changing. It's difficult to To differentiate, it becomes necessary to use an altar for pseudo-ascension. As for the blood sacrifice, it does not have to be human blood, the blood of wild beasts can also be used."

Qi Xuansu recalled the appearance of the great witches he saw in his dream, and suddenly said: "In addition to being as tall as giants, the ancestral witches also have various animal characteristics, precisely because of the blood sacrifice."

The Heavenly Master nodded and said: "That's right. After the great wizards in ancient times performed the pseudo-ascension ceremony, their appearance changed drastically, their strength greatly increased, and they went to another world. In the eyes of ordinary people, they were ascended."

Qi Xuansu asked again: "Now that the Kunlun Cave is reopened, if I use the Dao Sect's pseudo-ascension method, will I directly ascend to the Kunlun Cave?"

The Heavenly Master said: "No, because the Zixiao Palace is no longer in the Kunlun Cave. The Zixiao Palace is the key to this pseudo-ascension method. It can also be said that the Zixiao Palace is a guiding light, used to determine coordinates. It has been If you're not there, you can't go. Of course, you can't go to Zixiao Palace where it is now. It's a useless method."

Qi Xuansu had some vague understanding, but still asked: "Since it is a useless method, then why should I go to Lingshan Cave Heaven?"

The Heavenly Master pointed at his heart: "If others use this fake ascension method, nothing will happen, but you have the 'Heart of the Immortal Stone' inherited from the ancient witchcraft in your body, which will guide you to ascend to the Lingshan Cave Heaven." , instead of looking for the gateway to Lingshan Cave.”

Qi Xuansu said: "In this way, I can go, but others cannot."

The Heavenly Master flicked his finger, and a flash of light penetrated Qi Xuansu's eyebrows: "This is the Taoist method of pseudo-ascension. It is not difficult, but there is a threshold, and it requires cultivation at the creation stage."

Qi Xuansu asked: "Is this also true for ancient witchcraft?"

The Heavenly Master said: "As far as I know, the ancient witchcraft's method of pseudo-ascension also requires cultivation in the creation stage. However, after the physical transformation of the blood sacrifice, the pseudo-ascension witch will gain the strength of a pseudo-immortal. The ascension of Taoism The method is simpler, but it will not improve your realm."

Qi Xuansu nodded, knowing that he must first reach the stage of creation before he could explore the Lingshan Cave.

As for how to reach the stage of creation, it is difficult to say and easy to say.

Today, Qi Xuansu is only one step away from the creation stage. To be more intuitive, there is only one piece of "Xuan Jade" left.

According to his expectation, the Yao family would give him this "mysterious jade".

This is also one of the many gifts of fate that has already been secretly marked with a price.

In order to know the secretly marked price as soon as possible, Qi Xuansu had to accept the gift of "fate" once again.

Anyway, if you have too many debts, you don’t have to worry about them. If you have too many lice, you don’t have to worry about them. Just let them be.
