Chapter 1295: Shadow of the Way to Immortality (7K)
"The Way of Struggle..." The Saint Emperor pondered, sensing the surging energy on Tianyang's remains.
After a long time, he let out a long breath.
"The Way can prove immortality, but it doesn't match me."
There was not much regret in the Saint Emperor's tone, and he withdrew from Tianyang's armor state.
After returning the remains, Li Ping told Tianyang: "Since [The Way of Struggle] is empty, this resonant remains is definitely a rare treasure for you. You should feel it more. Although the immortal way is not obvious now, the resonance exists, which means that the Way is still there."
"In time, you may really be able to achieve the realm of true immortality with this!"
The Taoist Yi Jue of the Du'e Sect watched Tianyang put away the remains with eager eyes, and then stuffed the long eyeballs back into the passage.
"What a pity, what a pity..." Taoist Yi Jue sighed.
"What is the high opinion of the head of the Du'e Sect?" Yi Jue's attitude caused Tianyang's dissatisfaction.
Taoist Yi Jue shook his head and said with a laugh: "It's just a pity that the Du'e Sect missed a good opportunity. As the saying goes, if one person achieves enlightenment, all his family members will benefit. If the great Saint Emperor can comprehend the memories, maybe one day he can really achieve enlightenment. We can also benefit from it."
"As for you..."
"Maybe there will be such a day. But we, the Du'e Sect, will probably not be able to wait."
In his words, he did not hide his pessimistic attitude towards Tianyang's possibility of becoming an immortal.
Tianyang was not angered by the provocation of the Du'e Sect this time. He just sensed the trace of unwillingness to admit defeat on his remains, as if he had returned to the time when he was still a human body.
But perhaps because he has become a puppet now, Tianyang still failed to arouse the passion in his heart after trying for a long time.
"Tianyang has never been inferior to others in his life" The eight words shouted out are a little different from before.
The Saint Emperor's throne hall fell into silence for a while.
But not long after, the unusual movement of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance below attracted their attention.
With the light flashing, a group of solemn monks in black appeared at the moonlight border of Tianquanzhou.
They first bowed slightly to the person holding the mirror in the sky, and then, with solemn expressions, they prepared magic and moves towards the bright moon and starlight formation that had not yet been broken.
It seemed that they would launch a general attack on the formation in the next moment.
Various magics were indeed performed, but the corresponding performance of the moves was condensed in the air as if the time pause button was pressed.
Purple spears like thunder, twisted space cracks, endless yellow talismans...
All were stimulated and then gathered together.
As long as the bright moon and starlight formation was torn open, they exploded together.
The black-clothed monks of the Immortal Alliance took turns to transform the power in their bodies into moves and condense.
After a few hours, the black-clothed monks changed rounds again and again.
The moves accumulated at the border of the formation also reached an almost shocking level.
A trace of solemnity flashed across the face of the Holy Emperor.
There is no doubt that if this ball of light that was suspended exploded on the surface of the Xuanhuang Realm, it would definitely turn several states into ruins easily.
"I'll go." Tianyang was about to step out to solve this hidden danger, but was stopped by Li Ping.
"Wait a little longer, I have my own way to deal with it." Li Ping said in a deep voice.
Tianyang nodded slightly and did not show off.
Another half day passed, and a total of thousands of full-strength attack moves were instilled.
The small light ball that was condensed was even more dazzling than the bright moon in the sky.
Even the person holding the mirror seemed to feel a little daunted.
The mark on the forehead released a small bronze mirror, covering himself, the nine dissociation discs, and the other secondary body phantoms.
In the dissociation disc, the light and shadow brought by the analysis of the formation changed rapidly, and finally there was feedback.
From time to time, a wisp of colorful thin line flew out and floated towards Lu Xichan not far away.
When Lu Xichan comprehended the contents of these thin lines, her body trembled slightly and she showed an intoxicated look.
Then she passed her understanding to the array masters present, and they were also amazed.
At this moment, they looked at the bright moon and starlight array in front of them, and there was no despair in their eyes.
Under the leadership of Lu Xichan, the array masters began to crack the array.
The moonlight, which was originally like a substance and a silver thread, became hazy under the influence of external forces.
The Holy Emperor felt that this group of immortal alliance array masters were like little bugs, constantly gnawing at the foundation of the bright moon and starlight array.
Indeed, Li Ping could make fine adjustments to the array.
And he was confident that the speed of the joint deciphering of the twenty-eight array-breaking discs would definitely not catch up with the speed of his array changes. If the immortal alliance did not use any special means, he could use the array alone to trap the opponent for life.
But...
His purpose was never as simple as just trapping.
The arrangement left outside the Xuanhuang Realm told him that the wind had already risen in the sea of stars.
The struggle for the power of the sea of stars to revive and the remaining immortal power was about to begin.
The Holy Emperor, who had always been sitting upright, slowly stood up.
In a flash, his majestic figure was projected on the Xuanhuang sky.
As if in coordination with each other, the light of the Holy Dynasty, like the bright moon, suddenly dimmed a little, and the stage was handed over to the Holy Emperor of Daqi.
The moment Li Ping's image appeared, the soldiers who were fighting in various states of the Immortal Alliance were instantly excited and their fighting spirit was high.
They shouted in unison: "Welcome the Holy Emperor!"
The sound of the mountains and the sea continued for a long time, echoing on the land of Xuanhuang.
The captured and besieged monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals League looked at the majestic figure in the sky with some fear, and in their minds, various legends about the Immortal League's Dharma-spreading Heavenly Venerable emerged involuntarily.
"Where is the old man Tianzun at this moment?"
And those monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals League who were still fighting desperately were also stunned when they saw this figure that filled their entire vision.
"In the past, the Dharma was spread and the Tao was obtained, and it was spread to all living beings, creating a glorious thousand-year cultivation world."
"However, the method of spreading the Dharma goes against the will of heaven. The heaven and the earth are the ones that give birth to the cultivators. Devouring the heaven and the earth is like killing one's father and mother."
"It is not the right way."
...
The voice of the Holy Emperor echoed in the Xuanhuang Realm.
With the blessing of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, it was clearly transmitted into the ears of every living Holy Spirit.
At first, the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals League had not yet reacted to what the Great Enlightenment Holy Emperor was going to do.
But when they heard the words "not the right way", their faces changed drastically.
The person who was guarding the dissociation disc had a gloomy look on his face.
There were flashes of light in the four central states. The high-level members of the Immortal Alliance who had been sitting in the headquarters were finally angered.
To slander the Heavenly Lord of the Law Transmission was to slander the entire Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance.
It was to shake the legitimacy and foundation of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance's rule.
For the high-level members of the Immortal Alliance, the consequences of this incident were even more serious than the loss of all the territories in other states.
After all, if the territory was lost, it could be fought back.
And once people's hearts changed...
"Break the formation! Break it immediately!"
Lu Xichan heard the angry roar of the Law Transmission Ren.
The formation masters of the Immortal Alliance were as quiet as cicadas and began to fight desperately.
However, while they were breaking the formation, they could not help but secretly listen to the voice from the sky.
Accompanied by the many sacred visions that continued to appear in the sky, it floated to every corner of the Xuanhuang Realm.
"I also have a method that can help me embark on the path of immortality without relying on the power of heaven and earth."
"That is, with my foundation building, Hunyuan Jindan, physical body, and mind-transforming spirit..."
"Star Sea Hedao..."
"Ming Dao Changsheng!"
The words of the Holy Emperor were like a bolt from the blue, resounding throughout the heaven and earth of Xuanhuang Realm.
It has attracted the attention of all cultivators.
After all, just from the name, the Holy Emperor's method is much stronger than the method of passing on the law.
In addition, the auspicious signs of auspicious clouds and golden light flashing between heaven and earth made the cultivators even more confused.
The last time a supreme strongman preached in Xuanhuang Realm was the Immortal Lord of Chuanfa thousands of years ago.
After the method of passing on the law was verified by the world, the Immortal Lord of Chuanfa, who was in the Hedao realm at that time, also became the Immortal Lord of Chuanfa in the Changsheng realm.
If this new method is feasible, doesn't it mean that there will be another peerless strongman who can compete with Chuanfa in Xuanhuang Realm?
Surrendering to the bandits of unknown origin may lead to the liquidation of the Ten Thousand Immortals in the future.
But if you surrender to the Saint Emperor...
A strange atmosphere began to circulate among the immortals.
The Saint Emperor's teaching is still continuing.
"The first step on the road to immortality is to build a foundation with me."
"Using the wonders of heaven and earth, you can build a foundation. Why? The wonders in the world are the manifestation of laws."
"But the most amazing thing in the world is not a thing, but a spirit."
"Build a foundation with me, and you will establish the principles of the world!"
...
The original extremely mysterious method of building a foundation with me became easy to understand after the Saint Emperor told it.
At this moment, even mortals who have not yet embarked on the road of cultivation in the Xuanhuang Realm can vaguely understand it.
Not to mention those monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals who have successfully gone through the method of teaching!
The Saint Emperor's new method actually established the foundation of the method of teaching, and then broke the shackles and was reborn.
The immortal alliance monks who practiced the method of passing on the law naturally felt extremely familiar.
Even just listening, many thoughts of approval such as "So that's it", "It's indeed feasible", and "Great" have already emerged in their hearts.
Some immortal alliance monks who just completed Qi Refining and tried to break through to the foundation building realm, but were suffering from not finding the foundation building artifact, suddenly realized.
It was like a revelation, and they were very excited: "Why do I have to spend so much effort to find a miracle? The Holy Emperor is right, I am a miracle myself!"
"Foundation building! Foundation building!"
I closed my eyes and comprehended it on the spot.
Although it is not easy to practice my foundation building method in practice. However, in the huge Xuanhuang Realm, the number of cultivators in the Qi Refining stage is the largest.
With such a huge base, even the smallest probability multiplied, the final result is tens of thousands!
The Holy Emperor only talked about the middle part of the Hunyuan Golden Pill when the new method of my foundation building monks began to appear in the Xuanhuang land!
It was completely different from the treatment of the cultivators of the Transmission Method.
After the cultivators of the New Method broke through, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surged into their bodies like crazy and spontaneously. It was as if they were really the protagonists of destiny as rumored, and were favored by the Heavenly Dao.
There were even a few who broke through with the sky glow falling around them.
In the glow, there were also all kinds of natural treasures, like gifts from heaven and earth.
The attitude of heaven and earth was too different, and other cultivators could not help but be jealous.
Cultivators of the Golden Core Stage and above may still have some concerns.
But cultivators of the Qi Refining and Foundation Building Stages, dispersing their power and re-cultivating, have no burden at all.
After all, even if the Saint Emperor's New Method cannot be practiced, as long as the Foundation Building Wonder is still there, they can start over at any time.
After dispersing the power, the Wonder will be temporarily put away for preservation.
The practice of concentration is based on my foundation-building method.
The number of monks in the Qi Refining and Foundation Building stages of the Xuanhuang Realm far exceeds the total number of monks in other realms.
Even if one out of ten people in this group chooses the Holy Emperor's new method.
It is an extremely huge blow to the Heavenly Master who transmits the law and the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Except for Ren, the preacher, the other preachers finally couldn't sit still.
Because experiments in the Immortal Alliance headquarters have proven the real feasibility of my foundation-building method.
If the Holy Emperor is allowed to continue talking...
The high-ranking monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance could not help but shudder.
Immortal Alliance Hell.
The deepest part of the space where thousands of extremely vicious gangsters are imprisoned.
A figure that seemed to have only withered bones, its limbs spread out to form a large character, was nailed in the void.
Looking carefully, every bone of the figure seems to be constantly being burned by flames, struck by thunderbolts, and bitten by insects...
The pain that is difficult to describe in words, but this figure seems to be accustomed to it, with a calm face.
In other words, it was no longer possible to show any expression on his almost skeleton-like face.
At this moment, he raised his head slightly from the numerous physical sufferings.
Eye sockets full of pitch black, passing through the layers of space in the hell, looking towards the sky of the Xuanhuang Realm.
"Build the foundation with me..."
"Build the foundation with me..."
A black flame, like a long snake, emerged from the void.
It flew straight towards him and penetrated his heart in an instant.
The black flames passed through the heart, but some remained on the wound, burning the remaining flesh, flesh and bones of the figure.
Even the remaining soul.
Even with the figure's endurance, he couldn't help but groan.
"Build the foundation with me, build the foundation with me..."
But he still kept talking, and his dark eyes seemed to be lit up with stars.
For a long time, no other feeling had appeared in his heart except pain.
But now, he could vaguely see a glimmer of hope.
A glimmer of hope for escape.
How long has he been imprisoned?
In the darkness of the hell, he almost forgot the concept of time.
But judging from the trauma his body suffered, it should be five hundred years old.
After being unfortunately captured and imprisoned, he gave up the idea of escape.
After all, all his abilities have been drained by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Even if you are lucky enough to escape from here, it will be difficult to find your way back under the pursuit of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
But now, through this sound that reaches the depths of hell, maybe we can really escape from here.
"Every bit of pain is based on my body."
"It's all [I] feel."
"The source of pain is [me]."
"I build the foundation..."
Little bits of golden light began to flash as the figure spoke.
These golden lights seemed to come from the remaining dead bones of the figure.
It has been hidden until this moment of desperate action, and it was only then inspired.
Amidst the creaking sound, the golden light was like a flame, baking the dry bones.
The dry bones dissolved like a candle, but after condensation, they formed a slightly smaller body that returned to its normal form.
The surrounding restrictions noticed the strange movement of the figure.
Punishments were constantly being triggered and struck on the figure.
But the figure has long been accustomed to it, and even absorbed these punishment methods and turned them into energy to condense his new body.
Under the golden light, the figure became smaller and smaller.
In the end, only the size of an adult's hand was left.
Walking out from the original withered bones,
"With my foundation building, it actually returned me to the way I was when I first started practicing."
"It is indeed a supreme and mysterious method!"
"Even if I have been delayed for more than five hundred years within the high wall, it will not be a loss if I can bring this method back."
The villain turned into a golden light and flew straight out of the deepest part of the hell.
Ignoring all restrictions along the way.
Even the jailers in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance's Nether Prison didn't even see the golden light that escaped.
The golden man came to the ground and stared at the image of the Holy Emperor in the sky.
"In a desperate situation, talented people are born in large numbers. In more than five hundred years, such people have appeared in the world..."
"Hunyuan Golden Pill."
The golden man listened carefully for a long time, his brows furrowed.
"It's a bit weird. Could it be that I've been locked up for too long and become stupid?"
"No matter what, write it down first. When we get out, there will be many people studying it."
…
The Holy Emperor Daqi didn't know that he had quietly gained an audience from outside the high wall.
At this moment, his preaching has reached the end of [Ming Dao Immortality].
"Beyond the black and yellow, above the sea of stars, there is the road to immortality."
"The true immortal has died, and the avenue is empty."
"Shuo reflects the Tao shadow, chants the true meaning of the Tao, and can get a glimpse of the realm of immortality..."
The Holy Emperor preached solemnly.
And even Xuanhuang Tiandao himself had some insights into these mysterious and mysterious words.
All the winds in the world are still.
In the huge Xuanhuang Realm, except for the sound of the Holy Dynasty preaching, there is no other sound.
Including the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who were eager to break through the Mingyue Starlight Formation.
At this moment, everyone was in a daze, listening to the Holy Emperor's words in a daze.
The higher the realm and strength, the greater the shock in the heart.
Immortal League Headquarters, Museum and Divine Collection Hall.
Xu Ke and Master Yin, who were waiting for the decisive battle between the Immortal Alliance and the Holy Dynasty to start so that they could take the opportunity to detonate the golden tree and take away Mr. Bai's skull, suddenly felt the ground under their feet begin to shake.
From a slight tremor, it slowly turned into a violent tremor.
"This is..." Xu Ke was slightly startled.
Because he felt that it was not just the Museum of the Divine Treasures where they were. The source of the vibration was the space where the Divine Treasures was located!
The shaking became more and more intense, and the Immortal Alliance headquarters, which was originally like a starry sky and a little dim, slowly lit up with a little starlight.
"The headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance is in the Tianxuan Mirror. Is this a breakthrough in the Tianxuan Mirror?" A trace of surprise flashed across Master Yin's face, wondering whether this change was a blessing or a curse for them.
In the space of Yanfa Jue.
Li Fan himself also noticed the slight tremor outside.
The three guards of Hedao became a little nervous in an instant.
After all, this scene has not appeared once in hundreds of years.
Zhang Xu and Hua Yueye protected Yan Fajue, while Li Fan guarded the entrance of the space.
Fortunately, Elder Xu of the Dharma Guardian Hall quickly sent a message, saying that everything was fine, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"If it's as expected, it should be the Saint Emperor's clone who attacked." Li Fan thought to himself.
At this moment, he felt that Yan Fajue's little loli had woken up from her deep sleep and was trying to contact him through her virtual personality.
With a move of his mind, he took over the control of the other party's virtual personality.
"Wow, something big happened outside!" The little loli made an exaggerated expression.
"It's a pity that you are trapped here and can't see it!" Yan Fajue looked at Li Fan with a look of regret.
"Can you see the outside world?" Li Fan stared at the little loli and asked suspiciously.
Yan Fajue snorted and put his hands on his hips: "Of course I can't do that."
"But someone told me! What, you don't accept it?"
"What? As long as you beg me, I will tell you what happened outside!" The little girl said very proudly.
Seeing that Li Fan was unmoved and still thinking about something, she bewitched again: "Aren't you in the Hedao realm now? If you know what's outside, it will definitely help you a lot! Even for me, after listening to it, my deduction speed has increased a lot..." Yan Fajue said seriously.
"The one who secretly told you about the outside world... was Tianxuanjing?" Li Fan suddenly asked.
The expression on Yan Fajue's face suddenly froze, and then he waved his hands: "Hahaha, how is it possible!"
Li Fan narrowed his eyes: "The tremor outside just now..."
"The Tianxuan Mirror has been upgraded? How is it possible? In this life, there is no Wanxian League that can measure the sky and the earth..."
"Even Yan Fajue has gained something."
"Could it be that it was really caused by the Holy Emperor's preaching?"
Li Fan was a little surprised and doubtful.
His two clones outside did see the situation of the Holy Emperor preaching.
But he already knew that this was compiled by the Holy Emperor to attack the foundation of the Dharma.
Except for the chapter on my foundation building, the others were all fabricated castles in the air and could not be practiced at all.
So he didn't care too much.
But now, judging from the performance of Yan Fajue and Tianxuan Mirror, the method of the Holy Emperor's preaching...
There is really some tricks.
Li Fan looked at Yan Fajue who was still showing off and trying to make him beg, snorted in his heart, and directly recited the content of the Holy Emperor's teaching.
Yan Fajue looked as if he had seen a ghost: "Did Brother Tianxuanjing tell you too?"
Li Fan snorted coldly and did not answer.
The little girl became dejected like an eggplant hit by frost.
"It's boring!"
"I'm going to sleep!"
"Wait!" Li Fan called her back.
Yan Fajue couldn't help but look at Li Fan with a vigilant look.
"This new method of the Holy Emperor is useful to us cultivators, and we can understand it."
"Does it inspire you, Yan Fajue?" Li Fan looked suspicious.
Yan Fajue rolled his eyes at Li Fan: "Didn't you hear that there is a great way to immortality beyond Xuanhuang and above the sea of stars!"
"True immortals die, and the great way is empty!"
"The shadow of the Tao is reversed, and the true meaning of the Tao is revealed..."
Yan Fajue's eyes widened: "Take me as an example, Yan Fajue, is the embodiment of the laws of the Xuanhuang Realm."
"And the laws of the Xuanhuang Realm are the projection of the way to immortality above the sea of stars..."
"In other words, we have a natural advantage in resonating with the Tao."
Yan Fajue was a little proud: "This is something you cultivators can't even dream of!"
"If you want to resonate with the Tao, you must at least find traces of the Tao first, right? The way to immortality is illusory and fleeting. Even if you can occasionally glimpse it, it is extremely difficult to maintain this connection!"
Looking at Li Fan's somewhat heavy expression, the little loli became more and more proud.
Then she suddenly remembered something, and her face showed a vigilant look: "Don't try to steal my words, okay? To be honest, even if you can use me to force yourself to comprehend the Dao of the law, it will be useless."
"Why?" Li Fan asked.
"Do you still remember the word I showed you before? Now think about it, it's actually like a painting, painting the way to immortality. For others to see."
"It's not the entity of the way to immortality, it's just a painting, so even ordinary cultivators can perceive it."
"But we are the projection of the way to immortality. You are not me, how can you [look up] and see the Dao itself?"
Yan Fajue spoke slowly, word by word.
It seemed that it was quite difficult for her to express this meaning.
"Dao Kong..."
"Zhenxian seal characters, Mingdao Xian..."
Li Fan was thoughtful.
All the scenes related to the power of immortals in the past appeared in his mind and flowed quickly.
Finally, four words emerged faintly.
"Eternal Memories?"
Li Fan was a little uncertain in his heart.
"It's not a projection of the way to prove immortality, but a resonance of the Tao."
"Mingdao Changsheng, so that's it."
"The Holy Emperor can actually discover the existence of Eternal Memories?"
Tianyang's figure flashed in Li Fan's mind.
"Well, maybe it should be like this."
After all, it was his own clone. Even if the connection was cut off now, Li Fan quickly inferred the possible truth of the matter based on sporadic clues.
"Interesting, it seems that after integrating the essence and blood of Sun Erlang and Wang Xuanba, this Great Enlightenment Saint Emperor has a higher comprehension than I imagined?"
"After all, my comprehension is extraordinary..."
Li Fan carefully read again, the incomplete new method that he did not value before.
"If the Eternal Reminiscence is the resonance of the Tao, then [Zhenzhen] is so hungry every time he senses the Eternal Reminiscence. Does it mean that what Zhenzhen really needs is the way to prove the immortal?"
"It can replenish Zhenzhen's ability..."
Li Fan thought quickly in his mind.
...
Outside the Xuanhuang Realm, the Holy Dynasty's preaching is coming to an end.
Regardless of whether they belong to the Holy Dynasty or not, all the creatures who listen to the preaching bowed their heads slightly to express their surprise to the Holy Emperor.
After all, such a wonderful method was originally something they would never have the opportunity to listen to in their lifetime.
Now the Holy Emperor selflessly shared it with them.
There are even many cultivators who cried bitterly and knelt down to kowtow in gratitude, becoming the most loyal believers of the Holy Emperor.
The Four States of the Immortal Alliance, the Moonlight Border
A group of formation masters woke up from the shock of the Holy Emperor's preaching.
They looked at Lu Xichan privately.
"Continue to break the formation!" Although she received a favor from the other party, Lu Xichan, the chief of the Strategy Formation Hall, would never make a mistake on this principled issue.
She ordered in a cold voice.
"No need." The voice of the preacher behind her made her stunned on the spot.
"Lord Tianzun, you are back." The preacher Ren looked up at the sky, his eyes full of fanaticism.
