In five years, the cultivation environment of heaven and earth has changed drastically again. First of all, the Cave Heaven Blessed Land in Maoshan has been exhausted again. At the same time, it has further aggravated the situation of the end of the Dharma in the entire world. The spiritual energy of the entire world has become even thinner. Before this, the monks' cultivation was only unable to break through to the level of refining.
However, after this time, it has become difficult for ordinary people to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cultivate mana and enter the Tao. It is at least ten times more difficult than before. Except for the monks who have already cultivated mana and entered the Tao, almost everyone else has
It is impossible to practice Taoism again.
It is foreseeable that after their generation of monks, there will be a gap in the entire cultivation world. In another forty or fifty years, when all the monks of their generation die, everything related to cultivation will become legends and completely disappear from this world and become history.
.
But this is also inevitable. This day has been foreseeable since the decline of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at the end of Qin Dynasty. However, Zhang Shaozong's reconstruction of Maoshan Cave Heavenly Blessed Land this time has intensified the process. The only good news is that although the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has become thinner,
At least it still exists. For their generation of monks, they can still barely practice. Even if they can't go further, it is more than enough to maintain the current level of cultivation. In the past five years, they have also created many god-level real masters.
who.
The first is Maoshan. In the past five years, using the blessed land of Cave Heaven, nine people have successfully broken through to the realm of refining gods and become real people. They are Taoist Yunyang, one of the three elders of Maoshan, and the second master of the Five Temples.
The remaining six of Taoist Qingyu and Taoist Xuanyue were none other than Ao Tianlong and his generation’s original six ninth-level Qi-training monks——
Ao Tianlong, Lin Jiu, Lin Chujiu, Lin Yingjiu, Lin Ajiu, Ji An.
The five ninth uncles all successfully broke through the refining of gods and became real people, in addition to Ji An. All in all, the six ninth-level qi-training monks of Ao Tianlong and his generation all successfully broke through the refining of gods. The remaining four eyes and Qian
After all, He, Yi Mao, Xu Zhenren and others were a bit less talented. Although they had the Cave Heaven Blessed Land, it was only enough for them to improve their cultivation to the ninth level of qi training. However, they were still a little short of the ability to achieve the goal of god refining.
As for the older generation of Taoist Yunyang, the three Maoshan elders and the eight masters of Wuguan Temple are too old. Although they are all monks at the peak of the ninth level of Qi training, they are still too old and are no longer at their peak. On average, they are all
He is a person in his seventies or eighties. In the end, only Taoist Yunyang, Taoist Qingyu, and Taoist Xuanyue succeeded in breaking through the refining of gods and became real people. At the same time, their appearance returned to the peak of their youth.
The remaining Taoist Ziyang, Taoist Qingyang and the other three masters of the Five Views all failed to break through and died. However, although they died, their souls entered the underworld and were arranged in the underworld under the arrangement of Master Maoshan.
The position was changed to that of Yin Chao, Yin Shen, so everyone in Maoshan was not too sad.
This is the case for a big sect like Maoshan. The death of an elder is not something that requires sadness, because maybe down the line their lives will be better than those of you alive.
After these five years, the overall strength of Maoshan has also greatly increased. In addition to Zhang Shaozong, a top powerhouse who is only one step away from becoming an immortal in the Tongtian realm, there are also Taoist Yunyang, Taoist Qingyu, Taoist Xuanyue, and Ao Tianlong.
Although the nine god-refining masters, the remaining four eyes, Qianhe, First Mao and others did not break through to the god-refining process, they have basically broken through to the ninth level of qi training.
In addition to Maoshan, other Taoist sects have also improved to varying degrees. Among them, the four sects of Longhushan, Laoshan, Wutaishan, and Qingchengshan have all succeeded in producing real people. Among these four sects, Longhushan has made a breakthrough.
There are the most real people, with four in total, followed by Laoshan with two, and finally Wutai Mountain and Qingcheng Mountain each have only one.
Overall, Maoshan has benefited the most.
At the same time, in the past five years, as the global situation has changed, the domestic situation has become more and more tense, and a lot of turmoil has occurred in the spiritual world. The main reason is that the foreign spiritual world sees that China is weak and has constant civil strife, and is easy to bully everywhere.
Naturally, I thought that the current Chinese spiritual world must be equally weak, which would be a good opportunity for invasion.
First, in the autumn of 1921 AD, two factions led by the Taoye and Jiuju factions in the island country’s cultivation world invaded.
Then at the end of the same year, the Western Holy See also felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and wanted to preach to China, so they formed an expeditionary force to enter China.
However, their luck was not good. They arrived just in time to catch up with the reconstruction of Maoshan Cave Paradise and the breakthroughs of real-level monks from Maoshan, Longhushan, Laoshan and other sects.
The first ones to break through the refining of gods were Feixing Taoist Lin Chujiu and a real person from Longhu Mountain. Not long after they came out of seclusion, they learned about the invasion of the Japanese spiritual world. The two immediately joined forces to go down the mountain and first used magic to kill everyone.
They wiped out all the Japanese monks who entered China, and then joined forces to fly across the ocean to Japan, almost wiping out the entire Japanese spiritual world.
Then came the expeditionary force of the Western Divine Court. Their luck was even worse. When they arrived, Ao Tianlong, Lin Jiu, Yimei Taoist Lin Yingjiu, Exorcist Taoist Lin Ajiu, Ji An and others had all broken through and escaped.
.
In the end, Ao Tianlong, Lin Jiu, Lin Chujiu, Lin Yingjiu, Lin Ajiu, and Ji An joined forces with Longhu Mountain, Laoshan, Wutai Mountain, and Qingcheng Mountain to break through the god-refining monks. A total of more than a dozen real people directly crossed the ocean and entered the West.
The Holy See directly reduced most of the Holy See to rubble before returning.
In addition, there are organizations such as Nanyang's descendants and wizards.
However, these descendants and wizards in Nanyang did not invade on their own initiative. Instead, two years ago, under the instruction of Zhang Shaozong, Zhang Jizong and the Zhang clan in Zhangjiacun discussed organizing a large army to go to Nanyang to prepare for their Zhang family's return in Nanyang.
A base was laid as a retreat, but there was a counterattack by the locals. At the same time, the shamans from Nanyang were invited, and the wizards used evil methods.
Then Feixing Taoist Lin Chujiu and Yimei Taoist Lin Yingjiu from Maoshan teamed up to take Simu, Qianhe, Yi Mao and other people from Maoshan to Nanyang. They directly fought in Nanyang and never saw the lower head.
He came back only after seeing traces of the master and wizard.
Over the past few years, the cultivation circles of various countries have also changed their minds about the monks from China, and the cultivation circles of various countries have bowed down to them.
In the past five years, Zhang Shaozong has spent most of his time in Maoshan. Except for spending time with Bai Yuzhen, Ningshuang, and Bai Xiuzhu, he has spent almost all of his time on cultivation. He also does not care about other things.
Everyone noticed it, but they ignored it.
Because at his level, these things are no longer worthy of his attention, and his master, uncle and others can handle them, so naturally he does not need to take care of them.
The ups and downs of the world, Zhang Shaozong can see more clearly as his cultivation level gets higher.
At the same time, Zhang Shaozong also gradually understood why feelings seem to become more and more indifferent the higher the level of cultivation, because as the level of cultivation increases, the higher you stand, the more things you can see through. When life, old age, illness and death are all in your eyes
It's just the normal reincarnation of all things, and it's really hard to have emotional fluctuations about these things anymore.
It's like if a person dies now, but you know where he will go after death, whether it is reincarnation or something. You can even decide for yourself where he will go after death or where he will be reincarnated if you want. In this case, even if it is a relative or friend
, I’m afraid it won’t make you any more emotional, because even if you die, you can still see them.
Death in the eyes of ordinary people may not be death to Zhang Shaozong. Even if he becomes an immortal, he can easily save people even if their souls are gone.
Everything, as long as you have enough strength.
.............
In early spring, peach blossoms begin to bloom.
In the back mountain of Maoshan Mountain, in a pink peach blossom forest, Zhang Shaozong sat quietly cross-legged.
This peach blossom forest was planted by him personally after he came to Maoshan in the past five years, and with a little magic blessing, now five years later, it has become a ten-mile peach blossom forest, which blooms all year round, and has become a major scenery in Maoshan.
, it is also the place where Zhang Shaozong often retreats to enlightenment.
After five years of practice and five years of enlightenment, Zhang Shaozong finally made another breakthrough in his cultivation.
A year ago, he had successfully realized his own way——
kendo!
At the same time, in terms of strength, although he is still in the Tongtian realm, compared with when he just broke through five years ago, Zhang Shaozong is confident that he can easily kill himself who just broke through the Tongtian realm five years ago with just one sword, without even using all his strength.
Becoming an immortal is really only one step away for him.
The difference in this step is energy, the energy needed to become an immortal.
"It's time to take the final step."
In the peach blossom forest, Zhang Shaozong slowly stood up from the ground, some falling peach petals fell on him,
The next moment.
Buzz!
Terrifying Qi that penetrated the heaven and earth erupted from the peach blossom forest, and then Zhang Shaozong's indifferent voice sounded.
"After five years in Maoshan, my path has been completed and I have become an immortal. Today is the day."
