Chapter 374: Those who learn from me will live, those who resemble me will die.
Speaking of the Monster Rebellion, Chen Nianzhi realized that there were only a few years left before the next Monster Rebellion.
This will be the third time he has experienced the chaos of monsters, and more than two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi smiled and said: "Two hundred years have passed in a flash, and the chaos of monsters and beasts that I thought was the sky was falling now seems to be nothing more than that."
"Yes." Jiang Linglong also smiled: "As long as Bibo Lake doesn't take action, it shouldn't be too difficult to survive the monster chaos this time."
"You still have to be careful." Chen Nianzhi nodded and said solemnly: "I will go to the family first and let the family start preparing for the monster chaos."
"The Tianxu Alliance also needs to prepare."
Jiang Linglong also said that every monster rebellion requires the mobilization of a large number of manpower and materials, and this requires preparation several years in advance.
Chen Nianzhi temporarily put aside the promotion of the remaining natal magic weapons and went straight back to Pingyang City. After finalizing the preparations for the monster rebellion with the old patriarch, he then went to Qingyuan Mountain to find Chen Qinghao, who was in charge of the Elders Council.
As a result, as soon as he returned to Qingyuan Mountain, he found Chen Xianye walking out of the top of the mountain with a pale face and weak breath.
Chen Xianye glanced at Chen Nianzhi and said in a somewhat lost voice: "Uncle Clan, I failed."
Chen Nianzhi's eyes wrinkled slightly. He found that Chen Xianye's aura was now extremely weak. It was obvious that he had failed to break through the golden elixir.
Chen Xianye did not use the Jin-forming elixir. This breakthrough was not only unsuccessful, but also did not condense into a fake elixir.
This price is too huge. If there is no Yang Huanhua Tribulation Pill, it is equivalent to wasting one Jiazi's time, and how many Jiazi's time can a Zifu monk waste?
"Since you practice swordsmanship, you should understand that swordsmanship should be tenacious and have the courage and resilience to move forward."
"A temporary failure is just a sharpening of your swordsmanship. You should strengthen your confidence."
Chen Nianzhi patted his shoulder and comforted him with a gentle expression.
Hearing his words, Chen Xianye nodded and walked out of his despair.
He has come all the way to this day, and his cultivation is considered to be top among the Zi Mansion of Chu State, and his Taoist heart is naturally top among the Zi Mansion, but he fell into frustration for a moment.
Seeing that he had regained his confidence, Chen Nianzhi smiled slightly.
The two came to the edge of the cliff and looked side by side at the sea of clouds in the distance. Then Chen Nianzhi asked: "How did it fail?"
In fact, Chen Nianzhi also had some doubts. With Chen Xianye's foundation, he also took the Good Fortune Qingyuan Pill, and his magic power was not bad at all.
It stands to reason that even if the golden elixir cannot be broken through in one go, there should be a high degree of certainty that a fake elixir can be made. However, this time, even the fake elixir cannot be made, which makes Chen Nianzhi feel a little surprised.
Hearing this, Chen Xianye showed a bit of a wry smile: "I was almost successful this time, but at the last moment the water and fire spiritual roots in my body conflicted, causing the golden elixir to collapse midway."
"Water and fire are incompatible and conflict with each other..."
Chen Nianzhi frowned, and after a while he sighed and said: "You can no longer practice the Taiyang Lihuo Sutra. You need to specialize in a new method of combining water and fire."
"There is also a 'Renshui Heavenly Fire Sutra' in the family treasury, which can be used to cultivate to the ninth level of the golden elixir. You can try to change your cultivation to solve this problem."
But Chen Xianye shook his head and said firmly
: "I have already thought about it. Rather than spending a huge amount of money to change the method after cultivating to the ninth level of the Golden elixir, it is better to create the method that suits me best now."
"Create your own technique?"
Chen Nianzhi's pupils shrank slightly. He had personally practiced the Kung Fu for many years, and it was not an easy path to create his own Kung Fu.
He and Jiang Linglong also practiced self-created techniques, but not everyone is as talented as the couple.
With Chen Xianye's cultivation and foundation, although he can barely start to create his own exercises, how far he can go depends on his understanding.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi sighed: "Once you take this road, I'm afraid it will delay you for at least a period of time."
"By the time you break through to the golden elixir realm, you will probably be over three hundred years old. Do you understand the cost?"
Of course Chen Xianye understands this truth. Breaking through the golden elixir at the age of two hundred years is completely different from breaking through the golden elixir at the age of more than 300 years.
This means that he will have one less chance to break through the Nascent Soul in the future, and this opportunity may determine his fate.
This is still a relatively smooth situation. If the situation is not smooth and he has been unable to solve the problem of water and fire, then he will end up wasting a lot of time and even miss the best opportunity to break through the golden elixir.
Chen Xianye took a deep breath: "Uncle, you once taught me that those who imitate me will live, and those who imitate me will die!"
"Over the years, I have been practicing the Heavenly Swords and the Sunli Fire Sutra. I have always been chasing your back, and unknowingly I have become your shadow."
"I defeated the fake elixir monk with the cultivation of Zi Mansion Dzogchen. The world calls me the Little Sword Immortal of Chu State, and I am known as Chen Nianzhi's second best."
"But now I have vaguely understood that if I blindly imitate your form, after all, it will only be similar in form but not in spirit. I have not blazed my own path. After all, I am just a shell of my true heart."
Chen Xianye was dressed in white and stood quietly on the edge of the cliff, with a hint of loneliness in his brows.
At low levels, you can still rely on imitation and follow the path of your predecessors, but when you reach the realm of Jindan or even Nascent Soul, you need to gradually find your own way.
He shook his head, and finally said with some firmness: "I have now figured out that there are no identical leaves in the world, and there are no two identical roads."
"If I want to create a superior golden elixir, I can only create the technique of combining water and fire myself. Only then can I truly understand how to completely integrate the water and fire spiritual roots in my body."
"Even if this process takes several weeks, it will be worth it as long as I truly understand the Dharma and what cultivation is."
"Uncle Nian, I admire you and want to be like you, but I don't want to be your shadow..."
Chen Nianzhi listened quietly, and couldn't help but feel happy for Chen Xianye.
Only then did he realize that without knowing it, Chen Xianye was already two hundred and ten years old. He was no longer the kid who followed him around in the past, and the arrogant edge of the young boy in the past had gradually become tougher and sharper.
Reaching out and patting Chen Xianye's shoulder, Chen Nianzhi said happily: "Everything in this world has mysteries. If you want to understand the principles, books and understanding alone are not enough."
"You still need to do it yourself, and you need to observe and understand it carefully, so that you can understand the rules of its operation."
"I'm glad you understand this."
As Chen Nianzhi spoke, he took out a chapter of the token and handed it to Chen Xianye: "Take this token and you can read all the scriptures in the family library." When he mentioned the chaos of monsters and beasts, Chen Nianzhi realized that the distance was lower than that of the chapter.
There are only a few years left for the monster beast chaos.
This will be the third time he has experienced the chaos of monsters, and more than two hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi smiled and said: "Two hundred years have passed in a flash, and the chaos of monsters and beasts that I thought was the sky was falling now seems to be nothing more than that."
