The mountains collapsed, the prairie fire was set ablaze, the clouds of war dispersed, tornadoes and black winds roared, thunders sounded, as if immortals were beating drums in the sky.
Zhao Mi, who had gone through a fierce battle, had his hair in messy buns and his clothes were torn. He pressed the Sword of Silence with his hand and looked down at a small snake like an earthworm resting on the tip of the sword.
After more than a month of continuous calamities and three calamities, Zhao Shu finally completely chipped away the solid foundation accumulated by the Qianxun Serpent for countless years, causing its form and spirit to return to the heaven and earth bit by bit.
Even if Zhao Shu stood up as an altar and could mobilize the energy of heaven and earth, with an endless supply of magic power, such a battle would inevitably make the true spirit feel a little sluggish and the magic power throughout his body would be sluggish.
"How's it going? Are you satisfied with the result?"
Zhao Shu said to the little snake as if he was angry, but he knew very well that the current Qianxun snake not only shrunk in body, but also completely reduced his mind to the ignorance of a snake and insect, and could not understand what Zhao Shu said at all.
With a slight release of his hand, the Shouji Divine Sword cut off the body of the little snake with only its own weight and sharp edge. The big snake Qianxun was completely destroyed, leaving no trace behind.
When the enemy was destroyed, Zhao Shu immediately fell to the sky. He didn't even have time to adjust his breath and perform the exercises. He just repeatedly realized the experience that triggered the heavenly catastrophe.
Compared to completely killing the Qianxun Orochi, Zhao Shu's ability to control the Heavenly Tribulation and bring about the three disasters is actually even more incredible. Even Zhao Shui was not fully sure before that how far he could control the Heavenly Tribulation.
And the result can be said to be beyond imagination. The three catastrophes that frightened the heretics and evil people were launched in Zhao Shui's hands as if for free. The strong wind, poisonous fire, and sky thunder were not stopped for a moment, completely wiping out the Qianxun Serpent.
To perish in this world, he cannot even seize his body and possess his body with his remaining soul.
Zhao Shu was not able to become an immortal, but he was able to initiate a heavenly catastrophe. This kind of thing has never happened before. Zhao Shu has blazed an unprecedented path, an achievement that cannot be matched by those who have achieved Taoism.
I remember that in the battle at Difei Mountain, when Zhao Shu faced Baixiang King, he was blessed by the magic power of the Immortal Family and briefly used the Three Disasters method. Looking back now, at the last moment when Liang Tao ascended to the altar,
He may have begun to control the creation of heaven and earth. Zhao Shu was in the same spirit with him at that time, so he naturally benefited a lot and was able to act on behalf of heaven and cause disasters and reduce calamities.
However, as Liang Tao's ascension was blocked, this move seemed to poke a big hole in the sky. Three disasters fell indiscriminately in the Difeishan and Dongshengdu areas, affecting countless people.
In this way, Zhao Shu has now mastered the three natural disasters for the second time, but this time he did it with his own cultivation and magic power, and his understanding of the creation of heaven and earth has become more profound.
Zhao Shu also vaguely understood that he could achieve this achievement not only through pure cultivation and enlightenment, but also for another reason.
First, as the descendant of the official of praise of the Tianxia Dynasty, Zhao Shui was far more accomplished in rituals and rituals than others. In addition to his solid foundation, when he opened the altar at Jianjiaguan to practice Dharma, he almost lost his soul. The dangerous experience of being resolved on the altar also made him
Zhao Shu had a deep understanding of the remaining laws and regulations.
Although Zhao Shui did not realize it at the time, this laid the foundation for Zhao Shui to establish himself in the future. It can even be said that the remaining principles and disciplines of the Tianxia Dynasty were already with him at the moment when Zhao Shui practiced the law to the point of being selfless and forgetful.
Zhao Shu's cultivation is completely integrated, but he has only gradually realized it now.
Secondly, in the battle of Difei Mountain, Zhao Shu protected Liang Tao and received the magic power of the Immortal Family and the blessings of heaven and earth. For Zhao Shu, this experience was like cutting through the chaos and breaking through the key, allowing him to be in harmony with the heaven and earth.
Luck, as long as the realm is refined, the energy is connected, and luck is created, it can be as easy as opening and closing a door.
The foundation has been prepared, the key points have been opened, plus Liang Tao passed on the Qingya Wonderland to Zhao Shu, and he was bathed in the clean air of the cave sky to refine himself. His cultivation of the Immortal Way has been rapid, and Zhang Duanjing used the essence of the stars to forge the Silence Sword.
Everything falls into place.
Lying on a piece of charred wasteland, Zhao Shu was silent for a long time, and he couldn't help but recall the past.
Jianjiaguan went to the altar to perform Dharma without self-obsession. Although she was strongly criticized by Lingxiao afterwards, she still showed Zhao Mi how to establish himself in the altar, and the power of practicing heaven and earth was uniquely consistent with it.
It is no exaggeration to say that Zhao Shu's ability to master the laws of heavenly calamity by relying on the Ji Shenjian was not only due to Jiang Yingke's unintentional words, but more importantly, it was Ling Xiao's past guidance and teachings.
From standing up as an altar, observing the sky and the earth, to creating the body in the body, and hiding the sky in the sky, without exception, it was the guidance and inspiration given to Zhao Shu by the Lingxiao. Without the Lingxiao, Zhao Xiao would never be able to do it even if he went through the past again.
Mastering the Heavenly Tribulation so easily. What's more, without Lingxiao's guidance, Zhao Shu might have died long ago.
"Lingxiao, do you really want me to take this road?" Zhao Shu said to himself, and the world seemed to hear his confusion. The haze gradually dissipated, revealing the blue sky.
There is no doubt that everything Lingxiao knows must come from Goddess Yuqing. Zhao Shu only needs a little deduction to find that his current achievement of mastering the heavenly tribulation is probably the best result envisioned by Goddess Yuqing back then.
.
You don't have to use your body to mend the sky, but you can also capture the energy of heaven and earth, mediate creation, and control heavenly catastrophes. All evil things in the sky and evil spirits in the world will be wiped out in the face of heavenly tribulations.
It is undoubtedly a great pleasure to be able to prove the realm of the predecessors. However, Zhao Shu found that he had not transcended what Goddess Yuqing had imagined. If he followed this path, Zhao Shu would ascend to the throne of the Emperor of Heaven.
For a moment, I am afraid that I will have to mend the sky with my own body.
Considering Zhao Shu's current level of cultivation, there are not many people who can answer his confusion. Compared with other immortal masters, Zhao Shu now actually hopes to get guidance from Lingxiao. Even if it is like in the past, because what he wants is different
And it's okay to have a quarrel.
Zhao Shu suddenly understood why Mother Yuqing had to give up the idea of suspicion and greed for life. Even if he had not reached that step yet, he could not help but feel suspicious and retreat in the face of the unloved and selfless creation of heaven and earth.
"What’s wrong with you?"
A figure came to Zhao Mi's side, and it was Ruomu. She knelt down gently, let Zhao Mi rest on her lap, combed his messy hair, and wiped the dust off his face.
"I'm scared." Zhao Shu replied.
"You have accomplished something that no one before you could do, so what else is there to be afraid of?" Ruomu asked.
"There is no road in front of me." Zhao Shu slowly closed his eyes: "I have completed the road opened by my predecessors. The creation of heaven and earth is presented before my eyes, which makes me feel awe."
"In my hometown, many people believe that the world itself is conscious." Ruomu said: "As long as we deeply explore the consciousness of the world, we can capture infinite wisdom."
Zhao Shu asked: "Does this so-called world consciousness tell people how to let the world itself continue?"
Ruomu looked slightly sad: "No."
Zhao Shu thought for a long time, then sat up: "But you are right, the world may be conscious. There is a sentence in the Sutra of Praise for Officials - The great virtue of heaven and earth is life. In my opinion, the spirit in heaven and earth
All living beings are the embodiment of this 'world consciousness', but they are scattered into countless individuals."
"The act of exploring world consciousness is the way to gain infinite wisdom." Ruomu seemed to have figured it out.
"It seems that I still have to continue walking in the world and bear more witness." Zhao Shu stood up and looked up at the sky: "The road to the throne of the Emperor of Heaven will not appear out of thin air. In the end, you have to walk it by yourself."
…
The Chihiro Orochi was beheaded, and the Southern Demon God who had been causing trouble for so many years was completely put to an end.
The battle between Zhao Shu and Qianxun Orochi, even though the catastrophe lasted for more than a month, was far away from human settlements and the battlefield was covered by Zhao Shu's heavenly and earthly net, so no mortals were affected.
Although there are still fairies and ghosts looming in the mountains and rivers of Nantu, they can all sense the power of the catastrophe when Zhao Shu kills the Qianxun Serpent. Without exception, they are frightened and trembled, and they have to retreat to their lair.
For fear of incurring disaster from heaven.
This situation was naturally expected by Zhao Shu. There are many evil spirits lurking in the southern land, and it is impossible to kill them all in a short time. The best thing is to intimidate them so that they do not dare to act arbitrarily.
"So, from now on, there will no longer be demons and gods misbehaving in Nantu?"
In the Baihua Valley, after listening to Zhao Shu's narration, Miao Saluo said with emotion: "Your ability is really getting better and better. I originally wanted to take this opportunity to let you stay for a while."
"I will leave a clone here." Zhao Shu looked at the sea of flowers in the distance: "The scenery of the mountains and rivers in Nantu is different from other places. What's more, if you just kill and don't think about management, sooner or later other evil spirits will breed in Nantu."
"Business?" Miao Saluo became interested: "Listening to what you said, it seems that you are planning to establish a sect here?"
"I'm still thinking, but it may not be the inheritance of immortality, maybe it's farming and weaving, maybe it's all kinds of craftsmanship, or even teaching text and sentence reading." Zhao Shu gestured to the village not far away: "I think although your place is rich in products, but
It is far from rich and abundant, and the equipment used is very crude, not even paper books."
Miaosaluo smiled and said: "Yes, yes, our country is poor and remote, not as rich as the north."
"Then change it a little bit." Zhao Shu didn't care.
Miao Saluo asked again: "Then what identity are you acting under? If it is announced that you killed the Qianxun Orochi, it will probably attract many tribes to seek refuge, right?"
"No." Zhao Shu shook his head and said, "After killing the big snake, I decided to stay away from the secular world and didn't want to involve too much responsibility."
"I have an idea!" Miao Soluo came up with an idea and said with a sly smile: "How about you become my husband? Just say that you are a teacher sent by the Xiong Kingdom to teach knowledge, so you can marry me by the way.
Baihua Valley. In this way, after the various tribes in the Southern Territory learn about it, they will also ask for a scribe from the Xiong Country. As time goes by, won’t the entire Southern Territory be completely subordinated to the Xiong Country?"
Zhao Shu was slightly startled, then lowered his head and thought: "This method is feasible. If one or two major tribes set an example and benefit from it, other tribes and villages will follow suit. This will civilize the southern land and benefit all people."
Seeing Zhao Mi like this, Miao Saluo stepped forward and exhaled warm breath: "Did you forget something?"
"What?"
"Pretend to be deaf and mute!" Miao Saluo snorted: "Since you have married into me, Baihua Valley, why don't you leave an heir?"
Zhao Mi was silent for a moment, and Miao Saluo made a quick decision. He raised his hand and hooked the back of Zhao Mi's neck. He leaned close to him and whispered: "I know very well that although I am proficient in Gu magic, I will not have the chance of immortality. You
The road ahead is still long, can you please delay for a while for me?"
"Okay, I'll accompany you." Zhao Shu put aside his grudges and immediately picked up Miaosaluo and flew to the distant flowers. The match between men and women in the world is also in line with the yin and yang of heaven and earth.
…
And just as Zhao Shu arranged first, after killing the Qianxun Orochi, he planned to gradually stay away from the secular world. After staying in Baihua Valley for nearly half a year, Zhao Shu left a clone behind and returned to the emperor to meet the emperor and formally resigned.
After praising the official duties of the Department, he came to Tiancheng Mountain again.
"This is the Immortal Weng Divine Cauldron."
In the small farmyard on Xuanzhao Peak, the headmaster Han Yuanzi gestured to an alchemy cauldron next to him and said with a smile: "Ge Xianweng is indeed a master of alchemy. I have benefited a lot from the magical method of human cauldron. I am currently deducing the magic formula. You want to
Don’t you want to take a look?”
"It's disrespectful." After Zhao Shu thanked him, Han Yuanzi took a wisp of smoke from the alchemy cauldron, rolled it into a little light, like cinnabar, and printed it towards Zhao Shu's eyebrows.
"Prepare your own medicines, breathe in the heat and work hard. Refining elixirs is also refining people." Zhao Shu nodded and said: "It's really exquisite. With this wonderful method, you can open another inheritance."
"You can do it if you want, I'll forget it." Han Yuanzi waved his hand and said, "Isn't Shangjingzong enough for me?"
"I heard that He Qingchen hopes that after the world is peaceful, the Shangjing Sect will retire and return to the mountains?" Zhao Shu asked.
"It is easy to retire and return to the mountains, but it is not so easy to continue the inheritance." Han Yuanzi said: "Since the end of Tianxia, the Shangjing sect has lost many disciples. Although everyone says that the Shangjing sect has produced many outstanding people, they don't want to think about it.
, those are the people who have survived through numerous turmoils and massacres, relying on the turbulent times to survive.”
"A hero in the eyes of ordinary people cannot be equated with the inheritance of immortality." Zhao Shu said: "And not everyone can inherit the sect's lineage. In addition to cultivating magic power, one must also have insight into worldly affairs and know how to adapt. But at the same time, one must have
The Taoist nature of mind that is not shaken by external evils."
"Those who are good at adaptability are likely to fall into worldly sentiments, while those who are firm and unwavering will inevitably be stubborn." Han Yuanzi scratched his head: "It's difficult!"
"Senior was able to preserve the Shangjing Sect in troubled times and also made great changes in the world. Looking at this merit, few people in the world can compare with it." Zhao Shu praised.
"I'm most afraid of hearing praise from others, and it's people like you." Han Yuanzi shook his head quickly.
Zhao Miao was puzzled: "What's wrong with me?"
"Given your current level of cultivation, every word and deed has hidden mysteries, and the energy of heaven and earth may also change." Han Yuanzi looked serious: "It's not that I'm being petty, but that you have reached this point, and you should retreat to practice cultivation.
, don’t care about worldly affairs.”
"I have thought about it too, but I may not have more enlightenment if I am in seclusion now." Zhao Shu said: "And the King of Baixiang is still in the world, and I will definitely have a battle with him in the future."
"That guy is hiding. He can't even find Sanheng Luyi." Han Yuanzi's expression changed: "And I may not be able to help you then."
