Chapter 1777: Enlightenment
Unconsciously, half a year has passed.
There are fewer spiritual practitioners on the surface of the stone pillar. The third level of Xuanling has already passed the first two levels and entered the depths of the nebula.
Those at the peak of the second level of Xuanling are also approaching the end of the first level.
Only those who are in the early stage of the second level, such as Jinshan Yuxiu and Jinshan Tuwu, who have broken through with the help of blood coagulation pills, will stay at a height of a thousand feet.
On the raised platform, Jinshan Yuxiu gasped, his eyebrows and eyes were red, and his fists were clenched tightly.
"Why, why do I work so hard, but still stay at the bottom..."
"God, you are so unfair!"
"Yuxiu, give up!" said a spiritual person from another branch.
In half a year, these spiritual practitioners at the bottom have become familiar with each other. They have watched Jinshan Yuxiu climb up again and again, and fall down again and again.
Every thousand feet, the invisible pressure will surge. Jinshan Yuxiu's bloodline power cannot withstand the pressure of a higher level. Even if he tries again and again, it is still fruitless.
"It may not be useful to work hard, but it is definitely useless if you don't work hard." Gu Xiuyun glanced at his companions and said in a calm voice.
Jinshan Yuxiu did work very hard, but unfortunately, he used the wrong method.
The blood in each spirit race is different. The magical powers awakened by Jinshan Yuxiu are the power of the ancestor god and the red jade heart. The red jade heart can strengthen the internal organs and is also a good life-saving magical power.
The power of the ancestor god combined with the red jade heart can completely improve the body to the extreme.
But he did not temper his flesh and blood, but concentrated on purifying his blood, so the effect of his practice was naturally half the result with twice the effort.
In addition, Jinshan Yuxiu's talent is not very good. If it were not for the blood coagulation pill given by the Jinshan clan leader, he would never have been able to participate in the Thousand Veins Dharma Assembly in his life.
Huh!
A gust of wind whistled, and Jinshan Yuxiu rushed up the stone pillar again.
Just a moment later, a bang sounded, and he was pushed down by the invisible pressure again.
"Twenty years... I don't believe that I can never climb up."
Jinshan Yuxiu gritted his teeth, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and waited for his mental strength to recover.
Looking at the spirits beside him, Gu Xiuyun sighed in his heart.
There are countless people like Jinshan Yuxiu in the spirits, but they are lucky after all. Born into the spirits, they have a lifespan of ten thousand years and fighting power in the Douxiao realm.
And those mortals only have a lifespan of a few decades in their entire lives. How many people can see their struggles?
"This world is inherently unfair. Jinshan Yu Xiu has been competing with Yufeng and Linhan, so he is unwilling to give up. In the eyes of Yufeng and Linhan, there is only Jinshan Skull Luo..."
"Although I was cursed in my previous life, in the end, the Tianming Clan is much stronger than countless mortals. It is not a loss to have spent ten years in the world."
"Below mortals, there are ants and insects. There are strong and weak lives in the world. The only thing we can do is to try our best to break free from fate and step onto a higher platform..."
At this moment, countless figures flashed through Gu Xiuyun's mind.
In fact, it's not just him. Every life is trying to break free from fate and break the shackles of heaven and earth. Mortals seek immortality, fame, and freedom. Aren't they fighting against fate?
If one day, every life can control its own destiny, what will it be like?
"Destiny..."
Gu Xiuyun's eyes flashed with confusion.
Unconsciously, the power of destiny began to work. This power from the destiny star disk began to transform at this moment, and the power of the power gradually merged with the mystery of fate.
The invisible force turned into a thread, tightly entangling Gu Xiuyun's mind.
On the platform, Jinshan Tuwu closed his eyes at some point.
The spirits around him didn't care. They either gave up the test, each chose a place, silently tempered their blood, or kept trying to climb the divine pillar like Jinshan Yuxiu.
…
Starry sky remnant.
The human race's true body also closed his eyes, leaving only a trace of mind to maintain the Five Elements Overturning Hand.
The black and white light surged and covered the figure heavily. The Venerable Minglong above the formation did not find anything unusual.
…
"The young man of the human race actually had an epiphany?"
In the depths of the void, Bai Kongze looked suspicious and looked far to the west.
"He has already upgraded the Way of Fate to the peak of the seventh rank. Now he has another sudden realization. Could it be that he has broken through the bottleneck of the rules..."
"Impossible. The rules of fate are so complicated, and it is also the way of living beings. To take this step, he needs endless power of fate. With his current accumulation, he can never do it."
...
Chessboard Realm.
One by one, the priests of the Divine Religion entered the small realm space, sent the Kaimai Realm supernatural beings to various cities, opened schools, and built energy bases.
In just over a decade, nearly 30% of the area of the Chessboard Realm was covered by technological civilization.
As for the void land and large realm space, many Douxiao Realm supernatural beings appeared.
After the demise of the four Changli sects, relying on the wealth left by the four major sects, the priests of the Divine Religion rented time and space secret realms everywhere to cultivate the human race.
More than a decade later, nearly one million mortals entered the Douxiao Realm.
Many sects were a little worried about this, and even some venerables secretly took action to suppress the evolution of technological civilization, but none of them succeeded.
Although Gu Xiuyun was not in the Chessboard Realm, there was still the Red Scale Demon Venerable sitting in charge.
A demon lord in the first difficulty realm is enough to deal with these trivial matters.
The evolution of scientific and technological civilization has triggered endless power of destiny, which flows into Gu Xiuyun's body along the mysterious cause and effect.
The power of destiny is invisible and intangible, but it makes Gu Xiuyun's destiny foundation continue to strengthen. It is precisely because of this that he will fall into enlightenment again.
Enlightenment...is the result of endless accumulation.
…
At the bottom of Tongtian Divine Pillar, Jinshan Yuxiu tried again and again, and finally, fifteen years later, he successfully broke through the thousand-foot pass and stepped onto a higher level.
At the same time, Gu Xiuyun opened his eyes.
Thirty feet away, Jinshan Yuxiu was cheering. Countless failures did not defeat him. He was not talented enough and his blood was mixed, so he made up for it with hard work.
Maybe he is still not as strong as Jinshan Yufeng and Jinshan Skull, but at least he tried.
"Really got through!"
Looking at the figure thirty feet away, Gu Xiuyun's eyes flashed with surprise.
With his strength, he can easily see through Jinshan Yuxiu's future. It stands to reason that this person cannot get through the thousand-foot pass, but repeated attempts have allowed him to change his future.
Mind and will do have amazing power.
"I was wrong. Technological civilization is not for the way of destiny. On the contrary, the way of destiny is for technological civilization. From the beginning, I was wrong!"
"Not only me, the Lord of Heaven, the True Lord, and the Patriarch of Tianji, they are all wrong."
Looking at the figure in the distance, Gu Xiuyun laughed out loud.
He has always regarded technological civilization as a means to comprehend the way of destiny. The evolution of technological civilization is just to absorb the power of destiny.
But you must know that every life is independent and not a tool for others.
Gu Xiuyun is eager to break the shackles and transcend the world. Don't the priests of the Eight Eyes God want it? Don't those mortals want it?
Every living being is fighting with fate.
"If the way of destiny wants to be perfect, it should not be swept away. If every living being can break the shackles of destiny and evolve their own way, their way... will become the source of my great way."
Gu Xiuyun truly understood the direction of the rules of destiny.
Huh!
He took a step forward, crossed thirty feet, and came to the side of Jinshan Yu Xiu.
"Tu Wu, you?"
Jinshan Yu Xiu's eyes widened, unable to believe what he saw.
I had tried hard for fifteen years before I finally broke through the thousand-foot barrier. The other party had been sitting in meditation, so why could he succeed so easily?
"Are you surprised?"
Gu Xiuyun smiled, "Your talent and understanding are indeed not as good as Yufeng and Linhan, and your blood is a little turbid, but this does not mean that you can never surpass them. I can give you a chance. Do you want it?"
"Opportunity?"
Jinshan Yu Xiu was shocked and did not understand what the other party was talking about.
"This is an opportunity and a disaster. If you accept it, you will have the possibility of surpassing Yufeng, Linhan, and even Skull Luo, but at the same time, you will have to endure the crisis of life and death. Accept or refuse, I will only give you three breaths of time." Gu Xiuyun continued.
"I accept."
Jinshan Yu Xiu took a deep breath, his face showing determination. Rather than living a mediocre life, he would rather die in crisis.
"Okay."
Gu Xiuyun stretched out his finger, and a ray of light fell into the depths of the other party's mind along his fingertips.
After a moment,
A special formula appeared in Jinshan Yuxiu's mind. This formula had no words or runes, but only a special wave. He couldn't even express it.
But as the formula merged with his mind, Jinshan Yuxiu actually saw his own flaws and found the correct direction of cultivation.
"It turns out that I have been on the wrong path all along!"
"The power of the ancestor god should be combined with the red jade heart to take the pure body refining route and completely integrate the power of the bloodline into the body. Unfortunately, the Jinshan clan has no classics in this regard, which has made me waste thousands of years in vain."
Jinshan Yuxiu whispered to himself, but his eyes were shining.
Now that the correct direction has been found, bloodline cultivation has become much easier. In five years, with the effect of the Tongtian Divine Pillar, he may be able to break through to the third level of Xuanling.
Even if he can't, with this formula in hand, he can also turn to the immortal path.
"Remember, don't tell others the secret of this formula, otherwise you will be killed."
A voice came from Jinshan Yuxiu's ear.
He raised his head quickly, but he could no longer find Gu Xiuyun's trace.
"Tu Wu... Thank you!"
Jinshan Yu Xiu clenched his fists, feeling mixed emotions.
Only after experiencing countless disappointments can one understand his feelings at this moment. This is indeed an opportunity, an unimaginable great opportunity.
...
On the Tongtian Divine Pillar, Gu Xiuyun traveled at a very fast speed and soon crossed four thousand feet.
With his means, it was easy to change the blood in Jinshan Tu Wu's body. In just a moment, Jinshan Tu Wu was promoted to the third level of Xuanling.
"My current realm should be almost the same as when Tianji Patriarch founded Tianji Pavilion."
Gu Xiuyun looked at the sky above his head, and the world trembled faintly, as if warning him.
Only when you reach a very high level can you impart the divine power of Tianji.
Back then, Tianji Patriarch imparted the divine power of Tianji in order to use his disciples to influence the world and change the future of the world, while letting them bear part of the karma of cause and effect.
In the end, all the disciples of Tianji Pavilion fell, and no one could step into the immortal path again. The endless karma of cause and effect has completely ruined their path of cultivation.
But Gu Xiuyun is different.
What he taught Jinshan Yuxiu was the Six Secrets of Deduction, which could not calculate the future or explore the past. It only had one function: to assist in cultivation.
With this secret, Jinshan Yuxiu's cultivation path could save a lot of trouble and also give him countless possibilities in the future.
But at the same time, Gu Xiuyun had to pay a huge price for it.
Tianji Patriarch demands from his disciples. Everything he does is to help him achieve enlightenment. In his eyes, his disciples are just tools.
The same is true for Bamu Zhenzun.
Zen, Samsara Ancient Temple, Baisheng Mountain... Almost all sects use their disciples as tools and stepping stones on their own path to enlightenment.
Only Gu Xiuyun is different. He teaches the six secrets of deduction. No matter how far the other cultivators of Jinshan have reached, it will not benefit him.
Instead, it will increase his karma.
This is pure dedication.
"Every living being has an independent will, so the way of destiny is infinitely changing. With my own strength, I will never be able to exhaust the way of destiny."
"Only rely on the power of all living beings."
"Today I sow seeds just for a chance in the future."
Gu Xiuyun whispered in his heart.
Fifteen years of enlightenment allowed him to see another way to comprehend destiny, practicing with the power of all living beings.
