Chapter 1846 Past Events
"My mind was all about the examination meeting just now. I was surprised. I didn't notice. When did you break through and reach the second level of Qi training?" Tao Ze said, his eyes still fixed on Ye Tian. He frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Just now," Ye Tian replied.
Tao Ze didn't speak, and kept looking at Ye Tian. Gradually, his expression became extremely serious.
Ye Tian was puzzled, but his expression was as usual, and he cast a questioning look.
Tao Ze's cultivation is only at the Void Returning level, he can see Ye Tian's current cultivation at the second level of Qi training, but it is absolutely impossible to see Ye Tian's hidden peak soul of the true immortal.
So Ye Tian doesn't have to worry about Tao Ze seeing through his biggest secret.
So why did Tao Ze suddenly change his face?
What made a cultivator in the realm of returning to the void lose his composure all of a sudden?
Tao Ze's current actions have already caused him to lose control of his emotions.
Especially just now, when it was mentioned that Ye Tian actually won the bet, so that all the disciples of Peiyuan Peak passed the entrance examination this time, Tao Ze's tone and expression were full of exclamation.
Far worse than the violent fluctuations in the state at this time.
After being silent for a while, Tao Ze seemed to have finally calmed down, and his expression returned to normal.
He looked around vigilantly, raised his hand lightly, and the aura filled the air, forming an invisible formation that completely sealed off the small courtyard where Ye Tian was.
Ye Tian didn't know Tao Ze's purpose of doing this suddenly, but his intuition didn't detect the danger, but he could feel that Tao Ze seemed to be full of extremely strong kindness and closeness to him at this time.
This feeling came very suddenly and inexplicably.
"Don't worry, I want to talk to you about something next, this matter is extremely important, and it is inconvenient for others to know." Tao Ze explained.
"Have you read the "Thousand Years of Spring and Autumn" I gave you at the beginning?" Then Tao Ze asked.
"I've finished reading," Ye Tian nodded.
"When I first learned about that period of history, I had a question in my heart." Tao Ze recalled.
"At the time when Jiuzhou was in turmoil and people were dying, even if Shenzong had the greatest crisis and chaos in countless thousands of years, it had completely decayed and withered, but through the long-term accumulation of hundreds of millions of years of controlling Jiuzhou through incense, Shenzong possessed foundation and strength. It still completely dominates Jiuzhou, and it is terrifyingly powerful."
"Besides, Shenzong still has a foothold, nine temples with the life of all living things in the world."
"It can be said that even if Shenzong is in the weakest situation in history, they can still control Jiuzhou firmly and remain standing."
"It's hard to imagine, under such a desperate and difficult situation, how did Chao Shanhai, Song Gong, Zhuo Gucha, and Yin Daozhao destroy the temple step by step, destroy Shenzong, and establish a brand new Jiuzhou?" As soon as Tao Ze mentioned the names of those people, his face subconsciously showed admiration and shock.
This is the emotion that everyone who knows that period of history on Jiuzhou will have.
It is also the direct reason why Chaoshanhai and the others, and later Xiandao Mountain and the holy hall, will have such status and influence on today's Jiuzhou.
"Talent, perseverance, and popular expectations," Ye Tian said: "After reading some related books, it is basically these reasons."
"No, throughout the ages, people with talent and perseverance have emerged in endlessly. And such people usually gather in the Shenzong in the end and become part of that powerful force."
"Furthermore, as everyone expects, Shenzong has been passed down for hundreds of millions of years, and all creatures have long been accustomed to accepting and even maintaining the existence of Shenzong! So this point does not make sense."
"Although at the end of the period, there are countless souls who have been exhausted by Shenzong through incense and disappeared, but people will not question the rationality of Shenzong's existence at all."
"They will only feel that it is their own problem. If their vitality is strong enough, if they can become monks, and can continue to become stronger monks, then naturally they can continue to enshrine their own power to Shenzong. Even, if It is powerful enough to join the Shenzong and become a supportee as it should be!"
"Nowadays, some things that seem to be taken for granted were unimaginable at the time when Shenzong was there."
Tao Ze spoke slowly, and in those few words, Ye Tian had already heard a terrifying world that made people feel horrified and frightened just by imagining it!
"But in all the books and records, that's all," Ye Tian said.
"Of course!" Tao Ze narrowed his eyes slightly: "Because that power is too powerful! It is the most powerful power that can destroy temples, destroy Shenzong, and overturn the structure of Jiuzhou for hundreds of millions of years! And being strong means danger. So naturally it will not be recorded.”
"That kind of thing is called luck! Ten thousand years ago, Chao Shanhai called that kind of thing power of will." Tao Ze sighed and said, "I know the existence of this kind of power, but I have never had it. Therefore, it is impossible to determine which of the two names is more appropriate, but there are more people who call it luck."
"So, with the help of luck, Chaoshanhai and the others succeeded in destroying Shenzong?" Ye Tian asked.
"Yes, there is a related legend that those who master luck are omnipotent in this world!"
"So now luck still exists?" Ye Tian asked.
"Of course, Xiandao Mountain is the place where luck gathers, and Yin Daozhao is the person who is blessed with luck." Tao Ze looked in the direction of Xiandao Mountain: "This is why Yin Daozhao can become the most recognized in the Jiuzhou world today. the reason for the
"But it doesn't make sense. Since luck is so powerful and important, why don't all the other books, mortals, and monks say anything like that?" Ye Tian thought of a key question, Shaking his head questioned.
"Because this is a manifestation of the strength of luck," Tao Ze said solemnly: "It can forcibly extract information about itself from all the books, carvings, and memories of living beings in the entire Jiuzhou world. Erase them all!"
"So you can't see this thing in books, and no one knows about it."
"But it's real!"
"You should have a question, why did I tell you this?" Tao Ze looked at Ye Tian with burning eyes: "Because I just saw the existence of luck on your body, although it is only a tiny bit, Insignificant, but in my opinion, it is as dazzling as the bright moon in the dark night!"
"On me?" Ye Tian frowned.
But after pondering for a while, Ye Tian understood.
Previously, in order to achieve the perfect opportunity in his heart, Ye Tian was stuck at the first level of Qi training and was unwilling to break through.
But that perfect opportunity never appeared, because Ye Tian felt that something was missing.
It wasn't until the past three years that the missing thing slowly appeared in a way that Ye Tian still didn't know, and was gradually supplemented. Only then did it achieve the perfection Ye Tian wanted, and today he finally made a breakthrough.
If what Tao Ze said is true, then the thing that Ye Tian has been looking for and lacking is very likely the so-called luck.
It's just that whether this luck appears or exists, Ye Tian is still unknown and unable to control it.
"Do you have luck in your body?" Ye Tian looked at Tao Ze and asked.
"No," Tao Ze shook his head and said.
"But you can see the existence of luck? And you just said that everything about luck has been erased, including everyone's memory, so why hasn't the content you mastered been erased? Get rid of it?" Ye Tian was puzzled.
"Ten thousand years ago, Chaoshanhai created a technique called Qi Wang Technique." Tao Ze said: "After completing this technique, you can see the existence of luck, and at the same time, it will also offset part of the power of luck. "
"Actually, to put it bluntly, the Qi Wang technique is the basic technique to control luck, so I can see the existence of luck, so the erasure of memory with the power of luck is useless to me."
"The practice of qi-watching technique is as difficult as climbing to the sky. You must have the top-notch cultivation talent, the purest and most focused heart of a child, in order to obtain the approval of qi-watching technique and practice."
"But the qi-watching technique is just the foundation. I have practiced the qi-watching technique, but I can see it and know it, that's all."
"As for how the luck comes from, how to gather it, and how to use it, I don't know anything about it."
"Chaoshanhai is amazingly talented, brilliant in his life, created Taoism, and inheritance, all of which are countless. Among them, his highest achievement must be luck. But regarding luck, what he handed down is only hope. Air technique."
"Even because of the erasure of news related to luck, not many people know about it anymore."
After Tao Ze finished speaking, his face was full of disappointment and regret that could not be concealed.
"In short, now that you have luck in your body, you naturally have the ability to counteract luck and erase memory. At the same time, the threshold for practicing the Qi-watching technique no longer exists. After a pause, Tao Ze's expression returned to normal, and he turned his attention back to Ye Tian, and said seriously.
Ye Tian pondered, he was stuck on the first level of Qi training for so long due to luck, and although he succeeded in breaking through later, it was still unclear, full of unknowns and coincidences.
If you can control this matter, if you encounter the same situation again, you will naturally not be so passive.
It is indeed necessary for him to practice this technique.
"It's just... what is your purpose?" Ye Tian looked at Tao Ze.
Tao Ze spent a lot of effort to explain the cause and effect of luck to Ye Tian, and he was going to teach Ye Tian the technique of looking at Qi. He didn't believe that the former did all these things selflessly, just to help himself.
"Actually, Senior Brother Lu also knows how to look at Qi." Tao Ze said slowly.
"Our brothers and sisters entered the holy hall five hundred years ago, and the shock caused when we entered the church was no worse than that of Zhantai today."
"At that time, among the twelve school teachers, except for the three who practiced in seclusion, nine of them were alarmed out of the mountain and wanted to take us into their sect. Even at the end when the competition intensified, eight school teachers were involved. In a large-scale battle."
"That's when we met Zuo Qiuyi."
"Instructor Zuoqiu was the only one among the nine instructors present at that time who did not participate in the fighting."
"It's not because he is independent and the most noble."
"It's just because he is the youngest instructor in the academy, with the lowest status and the weakest strength. Although he showed up at that time, he was not qualified to fight at all."
"But we picked him right away."
"Because we were very proud at the time, thinking that only by choosing the weakest academy to teach could we highlight our talents and abilities. At the same time, Zuoqiu's teaching also gave us a kind feeling."
"Of course, we only found out in the end that that kind of intimacy comes from the same pride. His talent is also extremely strong, otherwise he wouldn't have become the youngest professor in the academy."
"In front of him, we, who are extremely unruly, soon felt admiration, let go of our pride and complacency, and practiced seriously with him."
"Our realm strength has advanced by leaps and bounds. In less than two hundred years, we have cultivated from the foundation building stage to the god transformation stage."
"And in the process, he taught the two of us the technique of watching Qi, and guided us to get in touch with the secrets of Qi luck."
Having said that, Tao Ze paused for a moment. He looked around, looked at the remote courtyard where Ye Tian lived, and showed a wistful smile.
"It's a coincidence that Zuoqiu had just entered the holy hall earlier. When he was cultivating in Peiyuan Peak, this place was just a wasteland. He built this small courtyard by himself in order to be quiet and not be disturbed."
It turned out that this place was repaired by Lu Wenbin and Tao Ze Zengjin's teachers?
"Go ahead and talk about it."
"Teacher Zuoqiu's cultivation at the level of luck is much deeper than that of me and my senior brother today. On the basis of only relying on the Qi Wang technique, he has already found the converging Qi technique through his own research and hard work. Lucky way, and success."
"It's just that before the two of us had time to study, we left the temple because of something—all disciples who have reached the stage of transformation into gods must go to the world to practice. This has always been the rule of the temple."
"The two of us traveled outside for thirty years before returning to the church."
"That's when the accident started. When we went back, Zuoqiu's teacher unexpectedly disappeared for no apparent reason!"
"The statement given by the holy church is that he made a mistake in the process of practicing, suffered backlash and died, and even died without a whole body. Therefore, no one knows the actual situation."
"At the same time, the two of us who were training abroad also began to encounter inexplicable suppression."
"Senior brother Lu and I both intuitively think that something is wrong, and firmly believe so."
"Only in the process of handling, the two of us had disagreements. I think that if we can make Zuoqiu teacher fall without any warning or influence, it is not something the current two of us can fight against. We must first hide our strengths and bide our time, and observe secretly Condition."
"But Senior Brother Lu thinks that we can't wait. The force that caused Zuoqiu Jiaoxi's accident can't not deal with the two of us. After all, we are Zuoqiu Jiaoxi's only two disciples. The church knows that it is useless to hide our strength and bide our time. Instead, it will be dull. The knife cuts flesh, and slowly wipes out our hopes."
"We couldn't convince each other, so we chose the way we each thought was right."
"So, Senior Brother Lu tried his best to investigate Zuoqiu's situation, but there was no progress at all, and he still doesn't even know what that force is."
"At the same time, my own realm is also stuck. It took me less than two hundred years to reach the stage of transforming gods, and in the process of experience, I have continuously improved to the late stage of transforming gods. Now three hundred years have passed, but I am only at the peak of transforming gods, almost Yu is still standing still, and his identity is still just a gentleman."
"After the disciples who study in the Academy become the God Transformation stage, as long as they want to, they can become Mr. Shengtang and have the qualification to wear a blue Taoist robe."
"But I chose to hide my strength and bide my time, pretending that I didn't care about Zuoqiu's life and death at all, and got into the Dianjiao Peak and didn't care about world affairs."
"But Senior Brother Lu's opinion is correct. Even if I do this, I will still be suppressed invisible. It's just a little better than Senior Brother Lu's. I barely crossed the threshold of returning to the void, and my status is slightly higher. , able to wear the red Taoist robes taught."
Tao Ze's narration did make Ye Tian understand a lot of things that he didn't understand before.
For example, he has long known that Tao Ze and Lu Wenbin's talent is not weaker than Zhan Tai's, and if there is no major change in this kind of talent, it will never be possible for more than five hundred years to practice to reach the peak of the transformation of the gods or to return. The virtual initial level.
At the same time, I also understood why Tao Ze called Lu Wenbin a senior, but his status was a higher-level teacher.
As for that Zuoqiu Yi, Ye Tian remembered that when he first came to Peiyuan Peak to choose a place to live, the deacon said that this abandoned courtyard was indeed built by a special disciple.
When questioned, the deacon said that he had forgotten the details.
Since it is special, why would he forget it? This is indeed a small contradiction, but Ye Tian didn't delve into it at the time.
Now it seems that Zuo Qiuyi's words make sense.
And when Ye Tian first moved in, Lu Wenbin came here to look for him, and Tao Ze came here in person the next day.
With their status and status, no matter if they have something to say to themselves or lead themselves to the imperial library, they can send a deacon to notify them and let them go there on their own initiative.
In this way, looking back, on the one hand, they were indeed looking for something other than themselves, and they also came back quietly to see where the former teacher lived, and cherished it in their hearts.
"Although Senior Brother Lu and I haven't found anything real, we have a common opinion that Zuoqiu's death is most likely related to the secret of luck!"
"Both of us chose the wrong method before, and we ended up like this. Today, I accidentally saw the existence of the power of luck in you. Whether it is God's will or not, in short, in my opinion, this may be a new method. Opportunity, even if you may have some secrets or extraordinary background, I want to try to trust you."
"After all, we really don't have any other options. To put it bluntly, it would be more appropriate to call it desperate." Having said this, a self-deprecating wry smile appeared on Tao Ze's face.
"Okay, I choose to practice Qi Wang!" Ye Tian nodded, hearing this, the last worry in his heart was dispelled, so he no longer hesitated.
"It's just that you have to be mentally prepared. After listening to what I said earlier, you should also know how powerful and terrifying the unknown opponent you will face if you embark on this path, and you will not be able to turn back." Ye Tian agreed, but Tao Ze changed the subject and emphasized.
"Now that I have luck in my body, naturally I have no choice, right?" Ye Tian said with a smile.
As for the dangers and troubles he will encounter, Ye Tian's mentality is very normal, after all, he has experienced too many lives and deaths.
"Okay!" Ye Tianfeng's light and calm appearance made Tao Ze's eyes flash with surprise, but it immediately turned into admiration.
"Now you also know that it is because of my sensitive status. At this time, I took advantage of the disturbance caused by the disciples you cultivated in the entrance examination today, which caused a huge turmoil in the entire temple, so I blocked the space and stayed here for so long. It's been a long time, but it's still very dangerous, without further ado, I'll teach you this technique now." Tao Ze looked up at the direction of Xiange Mountain and said, that's where the entrance examination will be held today.
...
After a brief breath adjustment, Tao Ze clasped his palms together and made a seal.
Then, he gently closed his eyes.
After a few breaths, Tao Ze opened again.
I saw that his two eyeballs had undergone tremendous changes, the black and white in his eyes had completely disappeared, and his eyes had become like two most transparent and pure glass crystals.
