Zhang Ruochen fell into deep thought. Tianmu's words were so shocking. They also solved many doubts in his mind. It took time to digest them slowly.
After a while, he said: "Senior, do you also believe that there are really immortals in the world?"
Tian Lao looked up at the sky and said: "I don't believe it! You are still too young now and don't really understand what life and death are. When you live longer, you will understand that the most common laws in the world are life and death, and no one can escape them.
Lose."
"But, I believe your Majesty! Since he is investigating, there must be a reason."
Obviously.
Not believing it is her rationality.
Letter is her sensibility.
Suddenly, it became quiet.
Only the wind in the desert in the distance is still howling.
Xiao Hei, Chi Yao, Yan Wushen, and Gu Shejing, who were originally turned into dust, grew up again. Their eyes became very serious. They already understood that even if they stepped into the realm of gods, there were still people in the world that they needed to fear.
strength.
Tianmu's power was like an unreachable peak, which fascinated them.
Zhang Ruochen asked again: "How much do seniors know about the Ming King Sutra?"
The "Ming King Sutra" is the "Nine Heavens Ming Emperor Sutra", which is also the "Thirty-Three Heavens".
Zhang Ruochen had an exchange with Lord Jie. Lord Jie once suspected that there were more than just nine heavens in the Ming King Sutra, and that the techniques might be deficient. This might be one of the reasons why the Zhang family could not become gods.
However, there is an unknown number of thousands of years and countless generations between the eras of Lord Jie and Lord Fudo Mingwang, so everything can only be based on guesswork.
Guessing, absolutely most are inaccurate.
It was not easy for him to meet a senior expert who had a close relationship with the Fudo Ming King, and he was also half of his disciple. Zhang Ruochen was about to undergo a divine tribulation, so he would not let go of this opportunity, so he naturally wanted to inquire clearly.
"What do you want to ask?" Tianmu asked.
Zhang Ruochen said: "There are really only nine heavens in the "Ming King Sutra"? To build the tenth heaven and break through the realm and become a god, can you really only realize it by yourself? There is no way forward, you have to find your own way?
"
Among the monks who practice the "Mingwang Sutra", except for the great Master Fudo Mingwang, no one has ever built the tenth level of the universe, and they have all stopped at the ninth level.
Lord Jie was able to build more heavens, not because of his cultivation, but because he directly inherited the cultivation of Lord Fudo Mingwang.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen is very curious, is the reason why the Zhang family members cannot become gods only because of the "Tao-killing Curse"?
Is it possible that there are deficiencies in the skills and that is the reason?
Tianmu shook his head and said: "I know very little about the "Ming King Sutra" and cannot answer your question. However, I do know that there are indeed shortcomings in the great master's cultivation, which is a regret that he cannot make up for."
"Where is it missing?" Zhang Ruochen asked quickly.
Tianmu said: "The Great Master has cultivated a total of twenty-seven levels of heaven, making him invincible in the heavens and unparalleled in the world. After that, after the efforts of several Yuanhui, he was unable to build the twenty-eighth level of heaven. He once thought that this was already done.
It’s the limit. The sky is high and there is an end.”
"But later, after he achieved an unprecedented breakthrough in his mental power, he made deductions and discovered that the highest level of the exercises he practiced could reach the thirty-third level. The twenty-seventh level was just his own extreme."
"He once lamented that the end of humanity is beyond expectation."
"He spent a lot of time researching why he could only cultivate the twenty-seventh level of heaven, and whether there was something wrong with it. In the end, he came to the conclusion that the foundation was insufficient."
"Insufficient foundation?" Yan Wushen said.
With Yan Wushen's almost unparalleled Shinto foundation, everyone questioned this.
Xiaohei also questioned, saying: "The great Master Fudo Mingwang once amazed an era. It is certain that every realm can be perfected. How can it be possible that the foundation is insufficient? If he has insufficient foundation, don't we have no foundation?"
"You are right to say that." Tianmu said.
You don’t have to answer so directly, right?
Xiao Hei was a little angry, but he didn't dare to be angry, so he could only sulk.
Tianmu said: "Constructing the sky is like building a tall building. A tall building rising from the ground is more basic, and the more important it is. If you want to make a tall building as high as possible, every step must be flawless, otherwise, the slightest difference will be missed."
"I don't know what the Great Master means by the lack of foundation, but I think that the Great Master must have understood the reason and found a way to make up for it. If he can live longer, he will definitely cultivate a person with sufficient foundation.
, a disciple who can cultivate to the thirty-third level of heaven."
Gu Shejing said: "All the twenty-seventh heavens are invincible. How strong can the thirty-third heaven be?"
"With Zhang Ruochen's foundation, there may be a chance to surpass the Great Master Fudo Mingwang in the future." Yan Wushen said.
"Right, not to mention the thirty-third heaven, the twenty-eighth heaven is enough! When the time comes, I will walk sideways in heaven and hell." Xiao Hei said with a smile.
Tian Lao said: "This is the reason why he must practice absolute physical Taoism! Zhang Ruochen, your ability to cultivate a first-grade holy will must be related to Xumi, right?"
"I think Xumi has such expectations for you, so he hopes that you will reach the ultimate and perfect state in every state. It is very likely that the Great Master had already told Xumi the way to make up for it."
"It is no accident that you became his descendant. He handed over this era to you."
In Zhang Ruochen's mind, images emerged of Saint Monk Xumi who died guarding Kunlun, leading him to the beginning of time and his body perishing... and so on. He said: "This is the reason why I must become a god. I have too many people who I cannot let down.
.”
From beginning to end, Chi Yao stood aside without saying a word.
Only Tianlao noticed her, glanced at her, but said nothing more, saying: "Okay, you all know what I should tell you, it's time to leave! The abyss of darkness is not a place to stay for a long time. Ancient times
Although the ruined city is a pure land, as I fall asleep again, demons will dance around here, and there will be many dangers."
Gu Shejing said: "Should I leave too?"
"certainly."
"But?"
Gu Shejing looked at the seventy-two demon god stone pillars.
She has just begun to comprehend, and has gained very little. Without tens of thousands, or even a hundred thousand years, she may not be able to comprehend the mysteries of the three major sources of demons.
"This is easy!"
Tianmu raised her hand, spread her fingers, and the entire space collapsed and contracted. The seventy-two demon stone pillars and the entire black desert were instantly in the palm of her hand.
Xiao Hei bumped Zhang Ruochen with his arm, his eyes seeming to say, "See, this is the real power of space. It is not subject to any suppression or restriction at all, and can be used at will anywhere."
Zhang Ruochen also cast a look: "The cultivation levels are so different, can they be compared?"
Xiao Hei's eyes were filled with surprise, as if he was saying: "Oh my god! Could it be that Mother Heaven wants to give the seventy-two demon stone pillars directly to Gu Shejing? This is the most precious treasure in the world, and it is not inferior to the thirty-six demon stone carvings."
Tianmu pressed her palm on Gushe Jingning's white forehead, driving the seventy-two demonic stone pillars and the entire black desert into her body.
Powerful and brilliant light was released from Tianmu's palm, distorting space, affecting time, changing light and shadow, the witch palace in the distance collapsed, and the Tianmen turned into dust...
The world changes accordingly.
When Zhang Ruochen regained his vision again, he found that the surroundings were surrounded by divine corpses and boulders, and a wide river of divine blood was flowing. Where was the Heavenly Gate? Where was the Witch Temple?
Yan Wushen, Xiaohei, Chi Yao, and Gu Shejing were all not far away. They were also in a daze and didn't understand what was going on?
"Could it be that Mother Tian used the power of space to send us to a certain place in the ancient and abandoned city?" Xiao Hei speculated.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said: "The space has not been crossed."
"What space do you know? How can you understand Tianmu's methods?" Xiao Hei said unceremoniously.
Gu Shejing said: "It's a projection."
"What do you mean?" Chi Yao asked.
Gu Shejing said: "The seventy-two demonic stone pillars that my ancestors penetrated into my body are just virtual images. From this, it can be seen that everything we saw before is just a projection, like a mirage."
"The Heavenly Gate is a projection, the Witch Hall is a projection, and the seventy-two demonic stone pillars, including the Heavenly Mother and the Udumbara Flower, should all be just projections."
"It's just that even projections are powerful."
"Otherwise, how could it be possible for us to enter the Heavenly Gate so easily and escape the witchcraft power of the Witch Palace so easily? It is also impossible for you to break through the black desert and reach the Seventy-Two Demon God Stone Pillars so easily."
"I think that everything we have experienced and seen before does exist somewhere in the ancient and ruined city. But it is not something we can reach with our current cultivation level. The real witch temple and the seventy-two demon god stone pillars are so dangerous.
, I’m afraid it’s a hundred times, a thousand times more terrifying than in the projection.”
"Tianmu's real body is a hundred times, a thousand times more terrifying than what we saw?" Xiao Hei was very suspicious and a little unbelievable. He felt that Gu Shejing had obtained the treasure and deliberately pretended to only obtain the projection, so he made up such a lie.
.
Gu Shejing said: "How many years have we been practicing, and how many years has Tianmu been practicing? Do you think you can understand her level of power?"
"Besides, Tianmu is the guardian of the ancient and ruined city, and the abyss of darkness is extremely dangerous. Do you think Tianmu will easily expose her true position? She can lower the projection to see us, which is already very good!"
"Hurry up and leave the abyss of darkness and the ancient and ruined city."
As the group set out on the road, they were all worried.
Yan Wushen was walking at the front, always thinking about where his ancestors had gone? He clearly left the Abyss of Darkness, but why didn't he return to the Yama Clan?
Xiao Hei walked side by side with Yan Wushen, and saw what he was thinking, and said: "What kind of person is Ancestor Yan, who in the world can do anything to him? Based on my guess, the ancestor must have discovered Heaven after returning to the hell world.
The war with the Hell Realm has broken out in full force, and he alone is unable to save the day. So, he hides in the dark, searching for Jiuding while tracing the mastermind behind the war. Do you think my emperor’s guess is reasonable? "
"It can't be that simple. Since the other party led the ancestors to the abyss of darkness, they must have made careful arrangements and must have back-ups to make sure the old patriarch never returns." Yan Wushen said.
Xiao Hei hummed softly: "You unworthy descendant, why do you have so little confidence in the old patriarch? The old patriarch has never seen any big storms or experienced any intrigues, how can he be so easily plotted by others?
"The person who can trick him into entering the abyss of darkness must be a close relative and the person he trusts most." Yan Wushen's eyes were cold and stern, and he clenched his fists with both hands.
…
Zhang Ruochen and Chi Yao were in the last position.
"Is the injury okay?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Entering the hell realm, Chi Yao met powerful enemies and was injured more seriously every time.
She shook her head slightly and said: "The vitality of the gods is strong, so this injury is nothing."
Zhang Ruochen saw that Chi Yao had no intention of having a showdown with him, so he pretended to be casual and asked: "Where did you get the divine sword over there?"
