Chapter 892: Carrying the Burden Forward
Swish!
The talisman fell.
Before it could reach him, it was stopped by a giant claw that supported the sky.
Gu Xiuyun raised his head, and a sneer flashed in the depths of his eyes. As expected, the red-eyed crocodile turtle could not bear to see the younger generation of the clan fall, so he took action after all.
It was unreasonable to intervene in the fight of Douxiao Realm in public, so the red-eyed crocodile turtle could only stop and cease fighting!
"You are very good, young man of the human race. I will remember this!"
The giant claw that supported the sky took the Red Water Demon King away, and the endless demon kings around him retreated like a tide.
The sect disciples guarding the edge of the Yuqiong Palace station couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw this scene.
"The demons retreated, we won!" Some disciples cheered.
"I'm still alive, I'm really still alive!"
Some disciples burst into tears. Fear and despair had already completely broken the defense line of their hearts. In the face of death, there is actually not much difference between practitioners and mortals.
After all, they are not the powerful ones who have survived for tens of thousands of years in the realm of true meaning. They have a very strong desire for life, and at the same time, they are also afraid of death.
"Yuqiong Palace... is saved."
Elder He showed a tragic smile, and the last trace of his thoughts dissipated.
Hearing the cheers and shouts around, Xu Zhen slowly opened her eyes. Facing the full-strength attack of the Red Water Demon King, she not only closed her eyes, but also did not even activate her soul.
She was already determined to die.
"Miss Xu, you can't die now. Yuqiong Palace needs you, hundreds of thousands of disciples need you, and the hundreds of millions of mortals in the palace need you even more," Gu Xiuyun said coldly, "There are too many unsatisfactory things in the world. Instead of reminiscing about the past, it is better to put down the shackles in your heart. People can't always live for the past."
"Gu Daoyou..."
Xu Zhen looked at the young man in front of him, and his heart was filled with waves, not admiration, but respect.
"These are fifteen rule talismans, which should be enough for Yuqiong Palace to protect itself," Gu Xiuyun continued, "After this battle, the major forces dare not start trouble again, but the most important thing is their own strength. Miss Xu is born with wisdom and a pure heart. She is expected to achieve the true realm of meaning. Don't let her blessings go to waste."
As he said, Gu Xiuyun took out another crystal-clear pill bead and injected it into Xu Zhen's body.
The pill bead came from the Red Turtle Demon King. After passing the five levels of the dead tree and broken world, he exchanged for three origin spirit fruits and two longevity magic medicines, hoping to use them to comprehend the origin of the five elements and enter a higher realm.
The longevity magic medicine has been refined, and one origin spirit fruit has been consumed, leaving only the fire and wood spirit fruits.
Xu Zhen is good at the mystery of the wood element, so taking the wood spirit fruit is just right.
When the spirit fruit entered her body, Xu Zhen closed her eyes and her whole mind trembled. She faintly felt that she had touched the origin of the wood element, and all the rules of the wood path were condensed in front of her eyes, clearly visible.
"What kind of spiritual fruit is this? It can actually allow me to directly touch the origin of the wood element?"
Xu Zhen was shocked.
A spiritual fruit made her mind almost in line with the avenue, and her understanding of the wood element's Taoism advanced by leaps and bounds. Even if she didn't comprehend it carefully, countless spiritual lights still appeared in her heart.
"Gu Daoyou——"
Xu Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, but he could no longer find any trace of Gu Xiuyun.
...
Deep in the secret realm of Luanshan.
A slightly strange-looking deer demon walked forward leisurely, and the black piglet lay on the back of the deer demon, as if it was sleeping, or as if it was practicing with its eyes closed.
"A spiritual fruit of the origin of the wood element can be regarded as repaying Miss Xu's kindness. With the magical effect of the spiritual fruit, she can enter the realm of true meaning in a hundred years at most."
The deer demon whispered.
Xu Zhen's help to him was minimal. Resisting the demon king of the Linhan clan and a few reminders were nothing!
But that was for Gu Xiuyun, the ninth-grade ancestor. What if he was just in the early stage of Douxiao Realm?
This cause and effect was no less than a life-saving grace.
What Gu Xiuyun returned was not a favor, but a sense of justice in his heart. Besides, Xu Zhen had the entire Yuqiong Palace and even hundreds of millions of mortals behind him.
One original spiritual fruit, in exchange for the well-being of hundreds of millions of mortals, is worth it.
The deer demon walked steadily and slowly through the land fragments. Wherever he looked, time and space were slightly distorted, and the breath of a million years ago was faintly revealed.
"Not here, where are the remaining three marks?"
The deer demon walked around the land fragments, jumped into the void, and walked towards the next fragment. No demon king or sect disciple stopped him.
The Red Water Demon King swept through the Luanshan Secret Realm. Not only did the 29 forces suffer, but many demon kings and human practitioners who guarded the land fragments were also killed.
After the expedition, the fighting in the Luanshan Secret Realm did not stop, but became more and more intense. The 28 sects and tribes disappeared, leaving a large number of cultivation treasures. All forces were fighting hard for it. How could they care about the void land fragments?
The deer demon stepped forward.
Passing one after another...
For six years.
He finally found all three Daoist imprints. Not only that, he also found the fifth Daoist imprint left by the Tiankun clan's True Lord in the Yukun Treasure House, which was a pleasant surprise.
...
The years that followed.
Gu Xiuyun wandered between the five imprints, and practiced hard with his eyes closed every day.
The Tiankun clan's True Lord had a deep understanding of fate and had entered the seventh-grade mysterious level, but only the Daoist imprint in the Yukun Treasure House reached the seventh grade, and the rest were at the sixth grade level. It can be seen that the Tiankun clan's True Lord also spent a lot of time to comprehend the seventh-grade destiny mystery.
The five imprints each have their own differences.
The first imprint is cruel and crazy;
The second imprint is full of sadness and grief;
The third imprint is high above, like a god overlooking the world;
The fourth brand is compassionate, just like a saint who wants to feed all living beings with himself;
The fifth brand, which is the seventh-grade brand in Yukun's treasure house, is extremely mellow. There is no murderous intent, no pain and sadness, and it is not like a god looking down on the world. It is like a pot of turbid wine with mixed flavors. Chen, when he tasted it carefully, he couldn't tell the truth.
"The fate of the seventh grade is mysterious, how to break through it?"
The more Gu Xiuyun understood, the more confused he felt.
The True Lord of the Tiankun Clan took a completely different direction from him. The True Lord seemed to understand many mysteries based on the joys and sorrows of living beings.
But Gu Xiuyun is different. His mystery doesn't have much emotion, but only his unyielding attitude toward fate, an obsession that man can conquer nature and control his own destiny.
"Lianshan's record is correct. The path of life is not the material path. The ways of practice are all kinds of strange. Every path is theoretically feasible. A single path of destiny has countless directions."
"Master Tianji changes the future time and time again, but in the final analysis, what he really understands is to control destiny and regard himself as a god, and all living beings in the world are subject to his life and death."
As Gu Xiuyun gained a deeper understanding of destiny, he also gradually understood the teachings of Patriarch Tianji.
He is somewhat similar to Patriarch Tianji, but completely different.
Gu Xiuyun's path was to control his own destiny, but he only controlled his own destiny. He never paid attention to the fate of others. Even if he once used mortals in the Realm of Living Beings to understand the mysteries, he only guided them in the direction of science and technology without interfering too much.
The founder of Tianji is different. The path of destiny he cultivates is to control the destiny of the world and regard all living beings as stupid dogs.
All the blessings you have are given by me, and all the disasters you have are caused by me.
All living beings are just dolls in the hands of Master Tianji, so he established Tianji Pavilion and preached to hundreds of thousands of disciples. The fate of those disciples was actually controlled by him.
And the practitioners who were guided by the disciples of Tianji Pavilion were also manipulated in disguise!
With the power of one person, he succeeded in playing with the world in the palm of his hand. Therefore, he understood the rules of destiny.
"Using heavenly means to manipulate the destiny of the world is equivalent to overriding the power of the rules of heaven and earth. No wonder he is hated by the endless void, and is even hunted down by hundreds of pseudo-realm masters such as Kushu!"
Gu Xiuyun shook his head and sneered.
Rewards and punishments from heaven are so overbearing. If you don't have enough strength, taking this path is courting death.
This shows how ambitious the founder of Tianji is.
The source of the Tao of Creatures is the practitioner's own Tao Heart. Once he succeeds, the endless void will become a marionette in the hands of Master Tianji. Gu Xiuyun cannot imagine that kind of situation.
"Unknowingly, I have spent six hundred years here, and the Immortal Void Body has finally entered. It's time to leave!"
Gu Xiuyun returned to his human form and stood up.
Six hundred years is too short for a practitioner!
In the past ten years, Bai Kongze went on a killing spree.
In the next five hundred and ninety years, the seven realms in the south were on guard. Bai Kongze tried several times to no avail, and even almost fell into the trap of the Venerable. It finally fell silent and concentrated on refining the killing power brought by the dead souls of the true realm. Strength, and gradually improve the understanding of Taoism.
The true form of the human race will definitely not understand Taoism. If you want to improve the realm of immortality, you can only rely on Bai Kongze himself.
After all, the human race's true form relies most heavily on martial arts energy. As long as the energy is strong enough, it can always overwhelm Bai Kongze.
Bai Kongze cannot practice martial arts. If he wants to catch up with the real human race, he can only try his best to understand the secrets of Taoism, especially the rules of space.
The power of the fourth level of space allowed Bai Kongze to successfully enter the true realm.
If you can go one step further and understand the origin of space, with Bai Kongze's talent for time and space, you may be able to become a special being in the Venerable Realm.
By then, it’s hard to say who is strong and who is weak!
…
Main square of Yuqiong Palace.
Xu Zhen was sitting in the air, with four rows of disciples standing in front of him, and Elder Zhen was sitting
On the side, he looks much older than he did six hundred years ago.
Elder Zhen is about the same age as Elder He, and the deadline is not far away. With their talents, it is already the limit to enter the superior level, so they still borrow the power of the source to extend their life.
In contrast, Xu Zhen entered the realm of excellence in three thousand years, and his qualifications and understanding are indeed much better.
Of course, talent and understanding are only one aspect, Taoist heart is the key. Without a tough heart that can endure loneliness and practice hard day and night, the early stage of Douxiao realm is almost the ultimate.
Xu Zhen was able to step into Shangmiao, and the death of his master and senior brother had an indelible impact.
After the death of his relatives and Taoist companions, Xu Zhen was almost dead, with no distracting thoughts in his heart. How could his cultivation not improve by leaps and bounds in such a state of mind?
Similar to this is Yansu poetry.
This woman can become a powerful person at the pinnacle of the Immortal Dao. Chance is one aspect, but her Taoist heart is the real key.
Yan Sushi suffered a lot of torture in her early years. Since the day she was born, she has endured the pain of the flame spiritual veins. She has been fighting death every day. Her heart has been tempered to be extremely tough.
The desire for power is far beyond ordinary people.
Otherwise, Gu Xiuyun would not have devoted all his resources to cultivating Yansu poetry.
In contrast, although Yan Suqing possesses heavenly secrets and has good aptitude and understanding, her desire for the pinnacle of immortality is not strong, and she has a knot in her heart that prevents her from even comprehending the mysteries of the sixth level.
On the path of spiritual cultivation, only those who help themselves can be helped by God.
"...The change of Taoism lies in its constancy, its clarity, its roundness and softness..."
Xu Zhen kept talking for half a day before finally leaving.
"Congratulations!"
The disciples of Yuqiong Palace knelt down and kowtowed.
Six hundred years later, Xu Zhen had already reached the realm of true meaning, and it was not an ordinary realm of true meaning. She had comprehended the four wood rules and then worshipped a human ancestor.
Her merits and deeds increased day by day, and now she was close to the peak of the eighth grade.
After six hundred years of practice, she had reached this point, which shows how amazing the magical effect of the origin fruit is.
For a thousand years, the mind was always connected with the origin, and the other eight origins were isolated. The efficiency of practice increased by at least a thousand times, combined with Xu Zhen's dead and dustless state of mind and outstanding talent.
Created an eighth-grade peak.
Whoosh!
Xu Zhen returned to the dojo deep in the void. Just as he was about to close his eyes and practice in silence, a voice came, "I haven't seen you for many years. Miss Xu is more charming than before. That origin fruit was indeed given to the right person!"
"Daoyou Gu?"
Xu Zhen suddenly opened his eyes and looked around.
The next moment, her eyes paused and fell on the jade pillar in front of her.
A green figure condensed and took shape. It was still a young man, no different from six hundred years ago. The difference was that Xu Zhen was at the peak of the eighth level at this moment, and still could not see Gu Xiuyun's true cultivation, but she was sure that the other party was definitely not in the early Douxiao realm.
He appeared silently in the depths of the Taoist temple, and even the True Meaning Realm powerhouses did not have the slightest perception. It was definitely not something that an ordinary Douxiao could do. He must be at least a ninth-level powerhouse.
"Thank you for your rescue, Taoist friend Gu. Elder Zhen escaped from death, and it was also your help!"
Xu Zhen bowed.
After she became an eighth-level powerhouse, she learned the details of the year from the other True Meaning Realm powerhouses.
The Red-Eyed Crocodile Turtle Clan and the other eleven tribes retreated, not because they were scared away by the Rule Dao Talisman, but because of the ninth-level ancestor hiding in the dark.
Killing the eighth-level demon king with one move was simply incredible.
"Miss Xu, you don't have to be so polite," Gu Xiuyun shook his head and smiled, "I just did it for the sake of convenience. Besides, the young lady has done me two favors, so I should repay her with this."
"How can my humble action compare to the origin fruit and the life of the eighth-grade demon king?" Xu Zhen shook her head.
After worshipping under the ninth-grade ancestor, she finally understood what Gu Xiuyun had given her!
The five-element origin fruit, any one of which is enough to drive the ancestor crazy, was actually given to a Dou Xiao?
To this day, Xu Zhen still cannot understand why Gu Xiuyun gave her such a precious treasure?
"In the eyes of Miss Xu, it is just an insignificant action, but in my opinion, it is much more precious than the origin fruit!"
Gu Xiuyun laughed, "I came here to say goodbye to the young lady. The demon god realm is no longer helpful to me, and I don't think I will see it again in the future, so I came to say goodbye."
"Gu Daoyou..."
Xu Zhen opened his red lips slightly, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to start.
After a long time, she finally asked, "If you don't know your name, I can always remember it."
"Didn't you know it a long time ago?"
Gu Xiuyun smiled and turned away.
"Known it a long time ago?"
Xu Zhen was shocked.
