Chapter 611 Nine Dragons Pulling a Cart Taixu Invites

Sanshui Peak.

"Meeting Uncle Master Ge." Tong Yasong and Hu Yang were about to enter the Tingdao Hall with excitement, when suddenly they saw a purple light coming down and walking over. It was the head of Tianxuan Peak of our sect, the top-grade golden elixir master, Ge Chenghui. It was rumored that he even had a magical weapon of shapeshifting.

Seeing the two women bowing respectfully and eagerly, Ge Chenghui smiled and waved his hand: "Shi Zhenjun's opening ceremony is a great event for our sect. You don't need to be so polite. Go in quickly, lest you miss the opportunity."

He said this, but Ge Chenghui still had deep doubts and shock in his heart. After meeting Shi Zhenjun last time, he privately asked his master and learned that he had only entered the first decline of the heavenly man for less than 51 years. After obtaining the magic weapon, he thought that it would not be too late to thank Shi Zhenjun after consolidating his cultivation and realm. Who knew that when he came out of retreat a few days ago, he heard about Shi Zhenjun's opening ceremony. When he asked his master, he learned that Shi Zhenjun had passed the first decline of the heavenly man in about half a year of retreat. It only took 51 years. It was really incredible and worth his legendary experience.

"Before we entered the sect, we had heard of the great name of Shi Zushi, but after entering the sect, we never had the chance to see him. Today, I am really excited to listen to his preaching. I was rude just now, please forgive me, Uncle Ge." Hu Yang is a more reserved person. Seeing that Ge Chenghui was not in a hurry, he calmed down and explained his anxiety just now.

Ge Chenghui laughed and scolded: "I have already said that there is no need to be polite, but you are still talking too much. You don't mind the trouble, and I also think it's a waste of time. I missed Shi Zhenjun's preaching, but you are the only one who can ask."

Hearing Uncle Ge's words, Hu Yang and Tong Yasong secretly stuck out their tongues and turned to enter the listening hall.

The Listening Hall may not seem big, but it still looks spacious with all the disciples and elders of the Penglai Sect gathered here. Sitting at the top is Pan Zikai, the Yuanshen Zhenren. Ge Chenghui, Hu Yang, and Tong Yasong have all heard him preach, so they recognize him and hurriedly bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings to Zhenren Pan."

Pan Zikai nodded slightly, and then said, "Hurry up and sit down, it's almost time." So the three of them found a seat and sat down.

After waiting for a while, a young Taoist wearing a green Taoist robe, with extraordinary demeanor and ordinary aura, came out from the back of the hall, went up to the pulpit, and sat in the middle.

"Greetings to Patriarch Shi." Everyone bowed together. In formal occasions, even the disciples and elders who are used to calling Shi Zhenjun must address him as Patriarch.

Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Everyone sit down."

When everyone sat down, Tong Yasong suddenly felt something was wrong. In shock, regardless of the occasion, she hurriedly used her spiritual consciousness to say to Hu Yang, "Why doesn't Shi Zushi have that illusory aura of a celestial being?!" After opening some records in the classics, and with Shi Xuan, the Heavenly Monarch, demonstrating inside the sect, as well as various rumors from the outside world, the disciples of Penglai Sect actually knew the illusory aura unique to the celestial being realm.

At this time, some disciples with low cultivation levels blurted out, "Why is it different from the legend? Shouldn't it be like being in countless spaces, seemingly close but actually far away, and extremely illusory?"

Although the voice was small, it was clear and distinct to the ears of cultivators with sensitive ears and eyes, or spiritual consciousness, and the temple became a little noisy.

Hu Yang was startled, and after careful consideration, she realized that it was indeed the case. She was surprised and said, "Could it be the incarnation or thought of Shi Zushi?"

After a pause, she remembered that Shi Zushi had been advancing beyond others' expectations since he started practicing, and she said directly in shock, "Maybe Shi Zushi has passed the first decline of the heavenly man?"

As soon as this was said, the entire Tingdao Hall, except for a few cultivators who had known about it for a long time, such as Pan Zikai, Ning Feng, and Ge Chenghui, was shocked and fell into a strange silence. This was incredible but reasonable. For most Heavenly Monarchs, it was completely unimaginable to pass the first decline of the heavenly man in more than 1,600 years. Some even struggled and even fell here. But Shi Zushi was such a person that this was normal.

Recalling that Shi Zushi had not preached for more than a hundred years, she was more certain. For a moment, everyone was excited and happy.

In response, Shi Xuan just smiled and started to preach directly.

But the disciples believed that this was Master Shi's tacit consent. After all, with his ability, it was impossible for him not to hear the noisy voices below, so they all stood up straight and began to listen with an expression of pride.

Because most of the disciples were below the level of Yuanshen, Shi Xuan naturally would not go too deep. He just re-explained the contents below the Jindan level in the "Shenxiao Zhenfa" and other exercises with his current knowledge and understanding.

Although the content was not new, every word of Master Shi was thought-provoking in plainness and pointed directly to the core. It seemed that the difficult and difficult exercises in daily life became simple and smooth, which made the disciples deeply fascinated.

The sun was setting in the west, and the sky was slightly dark. Shi Xuan said lightly: "This is the content below the Jindan level in the six true teachings and eight exercises of our sect. Today's lecture is over." "Tianwai Qingming Pian" and other works have been sorted out and counted as the true teachings of Penglai Sect. Some other good ones obtained over the years have been added to the five major exercises, making them eight sects.

The disciples came back to their senses, feeling lost and reluctant to leave.

Seeing this, Shi Xuan smiled and said, "Before we finish, I have a question for you disciples." Looking at these disciples who were separated by countless generations, Shi Xuan actually had a subtle feeling that he could call himself an old Taoist.

"Please ask the question, Master Shi." The disciples were refreshed again.

Shi Xuan said slowly: "If one day, you are in danger and are bullied, if you compromise, there is a 70% to 80% chance of saving your life and escaping. In the future, you may be able to successfully take revenge if you improve your cultivation. If you fight to the death, fight hard, and fight to the death, there is a 10% to 20% chance of killing the enemy or escaping. Do you choose to recognize the situation, even if you feel aggrieved, or ignore it and ask for a clear mind?"

The scene suddenly became quiet. Everyone understood that Shi Zushi's question was definitely implied. They did not dare to answer rashly. They imagined that kind of experience and pondered in their hearts. This speculation made many people fall into struggle.

After a while, Shi Xuan gently knocked on the jade chime in front of him, and a crisp and ethereal sound rang out, waking everyone up: "Does any disciple answer?"

Ge Chenghui was the first to stand up: "Reporting to Shi Zushi, the disciple chose to ask for a clear mind."

"The disciple thinks that if the green mountains are left, there will be no worries about firewood." Hu Yang followed and answered.

With someone taking the lead, the disciples stood up one after another. Tong Yasong said with a determined look: "I'd rather die standing."

"If you take risks every time, won't you die?"

"But if you always compromise and retreat step by step, there will always be a day when you can't retreat anymore, and you still have to fight for a chance."

...

After listening to many arguments, Shi Xuan knocked the jade chime in front of him again, asking the disciples to be quiet.

They immediately held their breath and waited for the answer of Shi Zushi.

"Just now, you wanted to have a clear mind. If you encounter danger, you might as well try to give in temporarily and eliminate your recklessness. If you want to compromise just now, if you encounter life and death danger, you might as well consider asking for a clear mind and cut off the fear in your heart." Shi Xuan smiled and replied, "Okay, that's it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Xuan disappeared from the pulpit, leaving the disciples looking at each other. Shi Zushi's answer was too ambiguous!

…………

In the Tianya Haijiao Tower, the head of the sect, Ning Feng, had been thinking about the question just now. He was particularly puzzled by Shi Xuan's answer, so he came to ask again: "Shi Zhenjun, is it better to compromise and wait for the future, or to be clear-minded and survive?"

"It's both good and bad." Shi Xuan smiled and said.

Ning Feng was stunned and said: "Why? How to choose?"

"When you figure it out, tell me again." Shi Xuan shook his head.

…………

On this day, Shi Xuan was practicing immortal arts in the cave, and suddenly felt that Ao Gu triggered the sound transmission restriction. He was moved and realized that it was Taixu Temple in the Nanyin Great World who sent someone to pick him up. Because it only said that it would be 1,600 years later, and did not specify which day, Shi Xuan did not wait specifically.

"Master, Qinghe Boy wants to see you." Ao Gu's voice came, and it seemed that he had an impression of the last incident.

Shi Xuan asked Ao Gu a few questions, and he answered fluently, as normal. He said that when he saw Qinghe Boy, he recalled the previous visit.

Since he could not get any clues in a short time, Shi Xuan had to let Qinghe Boy in. He was wearing a linen robe and straw sandals, and had a Taoist bun. He was no different from the last time he saw him. He was still serious, like a little adult: "Meeting Master Shi, congratulations to Master Shi for overcoming the first decline of the heavenly man."

Shi Xuan nodded and said: "But are you going to Taixu Temple for a banquet?"

"If Master Shi is willing, the chariot will be waiting outside Penglai Sect." Qinghe Boy answered politely.

Shi Xuan stood up leisurely: "Please lead the way, boy."

Following Qinghe Boy, Shi Xuan walked out of the cave. The sky was dark, and there were few disciples coming and going in Penglai Sect, which seemed a bit dull.

Shi Xuan explained to Master Xu with his immortal consciousness, and then came to the outside of Penglai Sect, where he saw nine mighty and majestic dragons pulling a gorgeous chariot waiting there.

He frowned slightly, because Shi Xuan felt the illusory and ethereal breath of the nine dragons. It turned out to be the realm of heaven and man? ! "No, it feels more illusory than normal, more dreamlike and ethereal!"

Shi Xuan was not sure after too many guesses, so he suppressed his thoughts and got on the imperial carriage under the guidance of Qinghe Tongzi. He only heard him shout lightly: "Let's go." The nine dragons immediately took off together. In just a moment, they appeared in the void universe. It was dark all around. A few stars emitting bright light could be seen from afar, but they seemed so small and dim in this vast void.

When he arrived in the void, Shi Xuan realized that he had forgotten to open his immortal consciousness. Now he didn't know where he was. After calculation, Tianji seemed to be trapped in a fog: "Very strange, unusual."

The nine dragons pulled Shi Xuan and moved quickly in a certain direction in the void. Occasionally, he could see a few worlds covered by the Gangqi film, which made the void even more boundless, making people feel lonely and insignificant.

After a while, a carriage suddenly came up from behind.
