Chapter 371 Body of Faith

After Nine Heavens Profound Girl, Chen Changming did not return to Wei State immediately, but chose to travel around.

He walked on the ground, observing the world in front of him up close for the first time.

After nearly two thousand years of time change, the land is now full of ruins.

The receding of aura has made it more and more difficult for monks to practice, and the practice of monks from generation to generation has become more and more difficult.

In this case, there are fewer and fewer monks that can appear, and their strength is getting worse.

In the original era, some monks who were able to practice to the realm of spirit embryos, or even the realm of transforming spirits, in this era, may only be able to reach the foundation building, or even worse.

Under such circumstances, the current era can be said to be a great world withered, and the prosperous scene caused by spiritual energy disappeared in a short period of time, and it was directly brought back to the original point, and even became more miserable.

Chen Changming walked on this land, observing silently.

He observed generations of monks struggling on the road of practice, advancing on the road, and finally dying.

Up to now, with the changes in the environment of the world, the lifespan of monks has become shorter and shorter.

This is not only caused by the cultivation of the monks, but also the changes in the environment of the world.

Living in an environment with abundant aura, even a mortal can easily live to a hundred years and achieve longevity if he is nourished by aura on a daily basis.

The same is true for monks.

However, in the current situation where the aura of heaven and earth is declining sharply, the lifespan of monks is also greatly reduced, and they often cannot live to the limit of their own lives.

Foundation Establishment monks generally only have a lifespan of two hundred years, but ordinary people often do not live to this time, and will die directly for various reasons before they are one hundred years old.

Chen Changming just walked around like this, observing the changes on the land.

Whenever he gained something and felt something, he would return to Wei State and practice in seclusion for a period of time.

When other places seem to be drifting, Wei Guo seems to be doing well because of the existence of Chen Changming.

With the area that Chen Changming temporarily opened up, the monks of Wei State can have better conditions and be able to practice better in it.

However, for Chen Changming, the current state of Wei can only play a role of self-cultivation.

Other than that, there is no other effect.

In the process of traveling, Chen Changming also gained a lot.

The most obvious is the inheritance and scriptures of many gods and demons.

Up to now, many gods and demons have been hidden for a while.

Chen Changming came to the door one by one, and exchanged various pills, and even some of his own scriptures, in exchange for the scriptures and inheritance in the hands of those people.

After hundreds of years, he has gained a lot, and he has obtained many scriptures at the level of gods and demons.

The scriptures of the gods and demons contain the principles and imprints they have comprehended. Through the scriptures, one can often see different paths, which can bring various inspirations to oneself.

Chen Changming integrated various scriptures into his own Nirvana Sutra, which further sublimated his Nirvana Sutra to a more perfect state.

And in these hundreds of years, his own strength has also grown further.

If someone can observe his body, they will find that there are three bright hidden treasures in his body at this moment, which have been stimulated and opened up.

This is what Chen Changming has achieved over the years.

There are three secret treasures, one is the Mingtai secret treasure, one is the source, and the last one is the third secret treasure developed by the practice system of this era.

Different practice systems often involve different secret treasures.

And the practice in this world is also the same, the hidden treasures involved happen to be different from what Chen Changming had mastered before.

Calculated in this way, it just added a part to Chen Changming, making him more sure of knocking on the door of gods and demons in the future.

According to what Gu Zhong said in the past, to really knock on the door of gods and demons, at least two or more secret treasures need to be opened to have this possibility.

From this point of view, Chen Changming has reached the standard now, but it hasn't been long, and he hasn't fully grasped his own three secret treasures, so he can't reach that level.

But that's okay.

In this era, Chen Changming has a lot of patience.

Sitting here silently, time gradually passed.

Before you know it, another thousand years have passed.

Emperor Wei had ascended the throne for three thousand years, and Chen Changming left the position of emperor of Wei State, casually handing over the position to a younger generation who could see past, and then left.

Leaving Weidu, his first stop was nothing but the residence of Saintess Road.

In the station where the Saintess Dao is located, groups of disciples are practicing in it, but at this moment, a group of disciples have changed their faces.

The group of people that Chen Changming had seen in the past had all disappeared at this moment.

By the looks of it, it's gone again.

Time flies by, and before you know it, the time of several generations has passed away.

Chen Changming walked all the way into it.

This time, he didn't disturb the outer disciples, and walked directly into the interior.

Inside, blocks of black ice stood there, seemingly unchanged.

Inside, the figure Chen Changming was familiar with lay silently in it, still maintaining the appearance of his life.

That was Liu Rou, and she still kept her life-like appearance at this moment. She looked lifelike, as if she had fallen asleep, and there was no change at all.

It's just that the vitality on it has already disappeared, and it is no longer a living person at this moment, but just a dead body.

Chen Changming glanced at Liu Rou's body, and then continued to move forward.

He walked to the core of the area in front of him, and saw a towering piece of black ice inside.

"You came."

Inside, the familiar voice of Nine Heavens Xuannv came.

As in the past, the voice still sounded so calm, but it seemed a little tired.

Chen Changming walked into it and looked at the Nine Heavens Xuannv inside the Xuanbing.

In Xuanbing, the appearance of the Nine Heavens Xuannv is exquisite and beautiful, that kind of appearance is extremely perfect, it is really like a goddess falling from the Nine Heavens, so moving.

She still looks very young, but she looks like a girl in her 28th year, which makes people feel a kind of youthful vitality.

But in Chen Changming's view, it is different.

In Chen Changming's eyes, Nine Heavens Xuannv's body was full of death, and that kind of strong decay could not be stopped at all, overflowing from her body.

Obviously, after such a long time, even if she is as strong as the Nine Heavens Xuannv, she has reached her limit, and she is about to be unable to hold on now.

"You're dying."

Looking at Nine Heavens Profound Girl, Chen Changming observed silently for a while, and then spoke like this.

"yes."

Nine Heavens Profound Girl didn't deny this, but just sighed softly: "I'm sorry, I let you see me in such a mess."

"However, after holding on for so many years, I will not be able to hold on after all."

She sighed softly, and then continued: "I will dismiss the soldier. After I dismiss the soldier, can I trouble the fellow Taoist to take care of the disciple?"

"I can leave my mark."

Chen Changming nodded and spoke softly.

"enough."

Nine Heavens Profound Girl nodded: "I can last about a hundred years. During this period, fellow Taoists can do whatever they want."

As she said this, she told Chen Changming the exact date of her death.

Chen Changming didn't say much, just retreated silently and went to other places.

He continued to travel in the outside world, walking freely in the outside world, traveling thousands of miles, and reading thousands of books.

After spending a hundred years in this way, when he came to the residence of the Saintess Road again, many changes had already taken place.

In front of the towering Xuanbing, the Nine Heavens Xuannv was lying quietly inside, but at this moment her body was already the same as Liu Rou's, and she had lost any vitality.

She had already fallen, and her whole body was filled with a thick sense of death, and the last bit of vitality had withered.

"Friend Daoist, you are here."

A sound continued to sound, as peaceful as before, with a familiar feeling.

Chen Changming turned around and looked aside.

There, Nine Heavens Xuannv stood there, dressed in fluttering white clothes, her delicate and holy face was full of calm, as if she was not surprised by Chen Changming's arrival.

It was a very eerie sight.

There was his corpse in the Xuanbing in front of him, but at the side, another Xuannv of Nine Heavens also appeared, the whole scene was quite strange.

Chen Changming was not surprised, he just observed silently, staring at the body of Nine Heavens Profound Girl at this moment.

Different from the past, at this moment, the body of Xuannv Nine Heavens looks real, but in fact, there is a sense of illusion everywhere, and there is a feeling that it looks like a phantom.

Ordinary people may not be able to see it, but it is very obvious to Chen Changming and other god-level characters.

He couldn't help frowning, and said, "The body of faith?"

"good."

Nine Heavens Xuannv sighed softly, and said: "The physical body is decayed, and I have no choice but to combine the soul with the body of faith, and barely survive for a while."

Chen Changming was silent, not knowing what to say.

The body of faith is condensed by the power of faith of all beings, and it is filled with the thoughts of all beings.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the faith of all living beings is not destroyed, the body of faith will not fall.

And through the combination of spirit and body of faith, theoretically speaking, it can also allow oneself to obtain theoretical immortality.

But this is only theoretical after all.

With the passage of time, the distracting thoughts contained in the power of belief of all beings will pollute the soul and gradually become no longer pure.

In the end, maybe even the self will be lost for it, completely lost.

If it really reaches that level, even if the body of faith still exists, it can be regarded as fallen.

"It's just a choice."

Nine Heavens Profound Girl shook her head, then sighed: "My lifespan has already been exhausted, and in the end, I can only choose to live in this way."

"On the other hand, Fellow Daoist, he is still young at this moment, and has a lot of lifespan to move forward."

In the end, she couldn't help feeling a little envious.

In terms of the long lifespan of the existence of gods and demons, Chen Changming still has a very long lifespan at this moment, so there is no need to worry about the issue of lifespan for the time being.
