Chapter 1532: Unstable Mind

"Finally retreated!"

Beside the city wall, a bloody figure exhaled a foul breath.

The sky-wide frenzy left along the chaotic source void, and the endless source beasts were swept by the tide and disappeared in the distance.

"This is just a tentative attack, and it will be more troublesome later," said the Supreme Mu Tong, "With the speed of the garrison of the Demon-Slaying Palace, it will take at least three to five hundred years to set up the formation from the Qingxiao Heavenly Realm to the Evil Spirit Ruins. During this period of time, we are all inevitably attacked and killed."

Three to five hundred years... Gu Xiuyun took a breath secretly.

The Demon-Slaying Palace can hold out once or twice, and can it hold out ten times? I'm afraid asking for help is inevitable.

At that time, it will be the beginning of the direct fight between the cultivators and the source beasts.

"By the way, the sword behind you, fellow Taoist, should be your natal spiritual treasure, right?" The Supreme Mu Tong looked at the black sword behind Gu Xiuyun.

The blade is hidden in the sheath, and only the hilt is exposed, but it exudes an extremely sharp edge.

"This sword was not made long ago, and its power is not enough, so I want to use the murderous aura of the battlefield outside the domain to temper its edge and sharpen its killing intent." The bloody figure explained.

"The sword of killing should indeed experience more fighting."

Mu Tong nodded slightly.

It has only been a million years since the Taoist Wusheng broke through the realm. Even if he started to sacrifice and refine the spiritual treasure just after becoming the Supreme, the time is far from enough.

A handy natal treasure needs a long time to nurture and sharpen it before it can exert its powerful power... Of course, that refers to ordinary spiritual materials. Mu Tong would never have thought that the black sword was made of the source heart stone.

The material of the emperor level, even if the sacrifice time is shorter, the power is far beyond the ordinary spiritual treasure.

As he spoke, a group of ordinary Supremes flew out from the bottom of the God City and flew towards the outside of the city wall.

After several months of fighting, although the source beasts from the sky have not fallen, they have also been injured. Those collapsed flesh and blood are all natural materials and treasures, so they must be collected and sent to the sect.

At the same time, several supreme masters of destiny, formation, and talisman walked around the city, investigating changes in formation prohibitions and repairing damaged veins.

Even the ancient divine city was bound to have problems, especially after being bombarded by the emperor-level source beast. The emperor's power destroyed the world, and some scars could not be repaired even by the divine city's formation prohibitions.

Gu Xiuyun and Mu Tong Supreme sat on the wall, closed their eyes and meditated, waiting for the next attack to come.

…

Xihuang Daotai.

The green figure sat cross-legged, with bursts of flower fragrance and green smoke curling around him.

The three flower dew of destiny and the Tianxin Dingshen incense were always effective, and with the addition of many cultivation treasures, the realm of Taoism of the human race's true body increased day by day.

"Without the Tianxin Yanfa Pearl, the effect of comprehending the rules of destiny is indeed much worse."

After meditating for a long time, Gu Xiuyun opened his eyes and looked ahead at the plain.

I saw a wisp of light red flame condensed into shape. The infection of the breath of destiny made this wisp of flame quickly become conscious, and its breath also rose from vague to the realm of realm master.

At the same time, the fluctuation of the rules in the Lihuo area weakened sharply, as if a lot of vitality was swallowed up.

"Lihuo evil spirit, born at the level of realm master, incredible."

"Everyone thinks that the outer beasts are fierce and powerful, and are the highest life in the world, but they don't know that some life is more powerful than them."

Gu Xiuyun flicked his fingertips, and the true energy turned into sword light, completely annihilating the Lihuo evil spirit.

For hundreds of thousands of years, he killed batches of Lihuo evil spirits, and the breath of each evil spirit was completely different, as if each had its own intelligence.

If they were allowed to grow up, they would at least be in the early stage of the realm of truth, but it was obvious that the growth of these evil spirits would cause great harm to the Xihuang Daotai.

As long as Xihuang did not die and Xihuang Palace did not perish, they would never have the possibility of growing.

"After hundreds of thousands of years of hard work, the evolution of the heavenly secrets has been promoted to the peak of the realm of refining ideas, and the rules of the source of destiny have also entered the early stage of the realm of refining ideas."

"Only the rule of heart cultivation - the impermanence of the heart, has never been broken through."

"From the peak of refining ideas to the realm of following the law, it depends on enlightenment, which cannot be forced, but I can't even step into the threshold of the impermanence of the heart. What is missing?"

The true body of the human race frowned and thought.

In front of him, the nine chapters of Yi Shu were scattered around, and the explanation of the impermanence of the heart made Gu Xiuyun more confused.

The rule of heart cultivation - the impermanence of the heart, emphasizes the impermanence of fate.

As the saying goes, the world is vast and the human heart is unpredictable. What will happen to everyone's future? No one can say for sure. The so-called deduction and divination... just find the most likely situations, but what will happen in the future - there is no certainty!

'The impermanence of fate means the impermanence of the human heart. The future of each living being is controlled by himself. The so-called destiny is just an excuse for the weak to escape reality. What you want to do and how you want to do it is up to you to decide! ’

‘Impermanence is the most difficult and unpredictable of the nine rules of fate, and it is also the foundation of the practitioner’s heart of Taoism.’

‘…’

Looking at the contents of the nine chapters of Yishu, Gu Xiuyun fell into deep thought.

Among the nine rules, impermanence is the most ethereal. There is no clear method, no specific route, and no way of practice.

Everything must be understood by oneself.

While thinking, footsteps came from a distance, and the Jiezun who guarded the Dui area stepped over, "I am Yi Ning, and I have been neighbors with you for a long time. I have never come to visit you. Please forgive me."

"I am a poor Taoist, Gu Ximing. It is reasonable that I should visit you when I first arrived. It is my fault." Gu Xiuyun stood up and clasped his fists.

Having said that, who would disturb others for no reason?

If the other party interferes rashly at the critical moment of enlightenment, wouldn't it be a case of enmity? Yi Ning also came over when she saw Gu Xiuyun reading classics and talking to himself.

"Fellow Taoist Xi Ming is here, so he must be the top destiny practitioner in the Xi Imperial Palace," Yi Ning said with a smile, "I have been practicing hard for a long time, but there has been no progress, so I thought I could come here to ask for advice, maybe I can gain some insights."

"You're welcome, Fellow Daoist Yi," Gu Xiuyun responded repeatedly, "You are all the top geniuses in the Xi Imperial Palace. It should be me who asks for advice."

"Tao practice, in no particular order, you two shouldn't mind letting me listen to a few words!" came a slightly hoarse voice.

Gu Xiuyun turned around and saw an old man with ragged hair walking over.

"Senior Brother Zhuge."

Yi Ning hurriedly bowed and said, "Friend Taoist Cherish Life, this is Senior Brother Zhuge Changming who is guarding the Gan position. He has profound Taoism and has participated in the creation of nature. He has already perfected the three major rules of heaven cultivation, human cultivation and heart cultivation. He only has to understand the state of mind. , you can become the supreme being of the universe.”

"Three rules fulfilled?!"

Gu Xiuyun was secretly surprised.

Compared to Yin Wusheng, Xiao Sha, and Qiu Xin, this is a truly powerful person with a perfect foundation. As long as he doesn't die, he will definitely become the Emperor of the Universe in the future.

From the state of Dharma to the state of mind only, it is just a combination of the rules of Taoism and the mind and will. Although it is difficult, it is always possible.

But once you become the Supreme, it is almost impossible to understand a new perfect rule.

For example, Elder Xin Xiang, after countless years, has only cultivated the third rule to the early stage of the Concentration Realm. The other rules have either never been understood, or they have stayed at the early stage of the Concentration Realm without making any progress.

"I'm just an old man who has been practicing for a long time. What kind of ability does he have?"

The old man with disheveled hair held a tattered cattail leaf fan and waved it twice, "Speaking of which, I have been in the Xihuang Taoist platform for thirteen years. I have never lacked the elixirs and rare treasures given by the sect. But to this day, I am still a little boy." You little Jie Zun, it would be embarrassing to tell you!"

"Brother, please don't say this."

Yi Ning smiled bitterly, "You think it's embarrassing that I just realized the rules of impermanence. Wouldn't it be even more embarrassing? Tianji has evolved to

It has not yet broken through the middle stage of refining the meaning. "

"The heart of impermanence?" Gu Xiuyun blinked, "How can Fellow Daoist Yi cultivate the heart of impermanence to perfection?"

The Nine Chapters of Yi Shu clearly record that the impermanent mind - the most difficult rule of destiny, is also the biggest bottleneck in becoming the Emperor of the Universe.

Once you take this step, the other two rules are no longer an obstacle.

Just imagine, with Gu Xiuyun's life experience, talent and understanding, plus many treasures, but he has not yet stepped into the threshold of the impermanent mind, you will know how difficult it is.

"It's not just me," Yi Ning pointed to the surroundings of the Taoist platform. "All the destiny practitioners who have entered this place have understood the rules of the impermanent mind. Five of them have reached perfection. Only Senior Brother Fang and Senior Brother Wen are in the late stage of mind training."

"Since Taoist friends have read the nine chapters of Yi Shu, they must also know that the impermanent mind is the most mysterious of the nine rules, and it is also the most difficult to teach. You can only feel and understand it by yourself."

"Indeed," Gu Xiuyun nodded in response, "I have read a lot of classics myself. Most of the classics only have a few words on the rules of mind cultivation. The Nine Chapters on Yi Shu is the most complete description, but it is also very mysterious. Xuan, in the clouds and fog.”

If it were not clearly recorded in the Nine Chapters of Yi Shu.

He even doubted whether there were any rules of impermanence in the world. The destiny system only had eight rules, right?

"The three laws of destiny: the evolution of heaven's secrets, the source of destiny, and the impermanent mind, respectively belong to heaven's cultivation, human's cultivation, and heart's cultivation." That’s the rule of the heart.”

"This rule is more suitable for understanding among all living beings. Fellow Taoist, I am afraid that you are looking in the wrong place when you come here."

"Senior, please give me some advice!" Gu Xiuyun quickly bowed.

"Don't call me senior. We are all Nine Difficulties Realm Masters. If you call me like this, won't I look older?" The old man with long hair waved his hand, "By the way, what kind of rules do fellow Taoist monks practice?"

"Twist of fate."

Gu Xiuyun responded with a sigh.

This rule... is powerful, but it is not the foundation of destiny. No matter how hard you practice, you will never get the attention of the Xi Palace.

No matter how strong one rule is, it cannot compare to the fusion of two rules.

Fusion rules go far beyond a single rule, and each time one is fused, the strength will increase tenfold or even dozens of times. Is that something that Twisted Destiny can match?

Just like Elder Xin Xiang, the power of Heavenly Secret Evolution and Destiny Entanglement is so weak, but after fusion, it can easily kill Gu Xiuyun's human true form. The difference in strength is simply huge.

The fate is twisted and perfect, and he is destined not to become an emperor.

Naturally, the senior officials of the Xi Palace would not care, and even the Qiankun Emperors were unwilling to accept him as their disciple.

"Twisted fate? Fellow Taoist, you actually practiced this rule to the level of Fa Sui?"

The old man's eyes lit up, "I heard that this rule is the best at killing. It can borrow power from the past and the future, and it can also reverse the line of fate and divert damage. It is one of the most difficult rules to practice in the path of destiny. "

"Fate twists the rules. No wonder Taoist friends can enter the Xihuang Taoist platform," Yi Ning said with excitement. "How about we share our insights with each other and exchange your twist of fate for the heart of impermanence?"

"I can't ask for it." Gu Xiuyun quickly clasped his fists.

The rules of the impermanent mind are so mysterious that even if you search the entire spiritual world, few can understand them. Only in places like Xihuang Taoist platform can a few weirdos appear.

"You're welcome. Speaking of which, we still made a profit."

The old man with long hair and Taoist Yining shook their heads, "To be honest, the rule of impermanence is very special and cannot be explained by common sense. We are not sure whether our understanding will help you or not. It may even harm you."

"But the rule of fate bending is beneficial to us."

"To be honest, we have been here for countless years and have not seen anyone with a perfect fate bending. You are the first one."
