Just a few days ago, Chen Mu met a dead soul in the Netherworld. This dead soul had a very good origin. He was the first-generation Celestial Master of Dayuan Si Tiantai.
This heavenly master seems to know many secrets, including the true Dharma and the true way, as well as the situation in which the Inanimate Realm is separated from the outside world by the virtual sky barrier, and has tried to restore the True Dharma and Taoism to the Inanimate Realm.
The result failed.
And his body and soul were destroyed by the methods left behind by the real people in the outer world.
After death, his obsession persisted, and he just wanted to restore the inheritance of the true law in the inanimate realm. However, no one could touch the barrier between heaven and man for hundreds of years, let alone the true law in the outer realm, until Chen Mu appeared.
The remnants of this heavenly master's dead souls are extremely strong. The grave in Netherworld is the largest that Chen Mu has ever encountered, and it is even greater than the collective thoughts of many dead souls in Nanli.
"Is it more than four hundred soul points?"
"That's probably not all."
Chen Mu listened to the system prompts coming from his ears.
According to his judgment, the ancient heavenly master can provide him with a lot of soul points, but now he has only passed the Taoism to the masters of Dayuanwu Temple, and it has not really spread yet.
But as long as this state continues, it will only be a matter of time before the inheritance of Taoism is restored.
The masters of the martial arts temple will summarize these Taoist methods, and then further pass them on to the younger generation of warriors. It will only take ten or even twenty years to slowly pass them on.
but.
Martial arts is not really useless.
Compared with Taoism, martial arts training conditions are lower, and the basic difficulty is also lower, so that almost anyone can practice martial arts. Even if they have no qualifications, they can reach the ninth or even eighth level with resources alone.
But the law doesn't work.
Whether you have spiritual roots is a prerequisite for Taoist practice.
Those who do not have spiritual roots are almost unable to cross the first threshold of Taoism. At least they must possess low-grade spiritual roots before they can take the first step in the practice of transformation.
In fact, these spiritual roots are also clearly reflected in warriors. The higher the quality of spiritual roots, the higher the efficiency and qualifications of martial arts training. This is also because the different spiritual root qualifications directly affect the affinity to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
Harmony.
In addition, whether one can step into the foundation-building realm is also causally related to spiritual roots. Without spiritual roots, it is impossible to build the foundation at all, and it is impossible to gather the true energy to nourish the soul. Even if it is piled up with various resources, it will
Stopping at the first step of building the foundation, you can no longer make any progress.
After all the martial arts masters bowed down.
Chen Mu spoke slowly.
"As Great Yuan Tianshi, it is my duty to continue the inheritance of Taoism for this world. However, I can only lead the way for you. How you go is up to you."
Yan Nan and many other martial arts masters worshiped again.
Yan Hanyu also saluted Chen Mu with a serious look on his face, but then he showed a hint of worry and whispered: "It is said that real people from outside the realm will enter the Great Yuan in a while, and they seem to have banned the inheritance of the Taoism of the Great Yuan together.
, will it happen then..."
Chen Mu shook his head slightly and said: "Don't worry, I will deal with the affairs of the real people in the outside world. You and others can also pass on the Taoism passed down this time. However, Taoism should not be passed lightly, and people need to be chosen to pass it on."
"We will keep the words of the Heavenly Master in mind."
Yan Nan and others all looked solemn.
Chen Mu nodded slightly and said:
"That's the end of this sermon."
"Xiyu, Xiaoyao, Shiyun, Chenxing, Xiaolian, Hanyu, you guys will stay here for a while."
If Chen Yao and others are left behind, they will naturally have to make up lessons in private. After all, they are either their own disciples or people around them, and their treatment is still different.
After hearing this, many martial arts masters stood up and left, and saluted again.
Only Yan Hanyu was a little startled, and then felt a little embarrassed when he was looked at by some acquaintances, but at this time he could only sit upright and not look sideways.
soon.
The hall was empty again, with only Xiyu, Chen Yao and others left.
"What insights do you have?"
Chen Mu looked at Chen Yao and saw that she seemed to be still immersed in the sermon just now, so she asked.
Chen Yao came back to her senses, blinked her eyes, and said:
"I understand."
This sentence made Li Chenxing and others look over, wondering what Chen Yao had understood.
Except for Yan Hanyu, their cultivation levels are still far below that of the master, so they can only listen to Chen Mu's sermons in confusion.
Chen Yao's eyes were bright and she said: "I won't be a female martial arts saint anymore!"
"I want to be a real person!"
Li Chenxing: "..."
Lu Shiyun: "..."
Only Chen Mu nodded slightly and said: "Well, my sister must be a real person after all. You are only one step away from establishing the foundation. It is the right time. There is no need to make more detours, so I will give you the method first."
The cultivation levels of Chen Yao and others are different, and the situations are also different. It takes a lot of effort to convert to Taoism. Yan Hanyu, who is already a second-level martial arts master, is the most complicated to convert to Taoism. If he did it alone, it would take at least ten years.
It may even take decades, but with Chen Mu's guidance, the direction can be established quickly.
What Chen Mu wants to do is to make Chen Yao and others move faster.
…
Great Yuan Jidong.
Like an umbrella cover, a barrier of light visible to the naked eye stretches across the sky and the earth, stretching endlessly as far as the eye can see.
And somewhere in this vast and boundless Void Sky Barrier, the power of heaven and earth surges together here, constantly impacting like a tide, making this part of the Void Sky Barrier obviously darker.
Pass through this virtual barrier.
Outside is a towering mountain range.
On the top of the nearest peak, there is a figure sitting cross-legged on a huge rock with eyes closed, and there is a faint aura intertwined around the body.
The vision didn't stop there. In the sky above his head, the clouds turned into pieces of happy clouds, making this mountain range seem to have turned into a blessed place in the world, a cave in the fairy palace.
This is a real person from Qingyun.
suddenly.
He opened his eyes and looked in one direction.
But I saw a figure floating in the distance, with a trace of auspiciousness falling around me, and happy clouds coming from the sky.
"There are still three years left. You came a little early."
The real person on the top of the mountain spoke calmly to the figure who came behind him.
The figure from behind came from the sky and said casually: "Come early and come late, I always come."
While talking.
While looking at the virtual barrier in front of him, a little glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he said: "It's really unexpected that that boy broke the barrier between heaven and man."
He is a natural born man.
The figure on the top of the mountain looked at Master Tiansheng and said, "The Taoism you preach?"
Master Tiansheng shook his head slightly and said: "I underestimated him. Not only did he control the power of the pseudo-soul, but he also broke through the barrier between heaven and man in such a short period of time. Even if you put it in the entire Thirteen Borderless Domains, he is still amazing.
, but he is too arrogant in wanting to restore the inheritance of Taoism in the Inanimate Realm."
Killing the Daozi of the Lingtian Sect is very serious, but it doesn't matter if it is not serious. After all, he is a real person. Even if he offends the Lingtian Sect, the most he can do is avoid Lingtian.
But inheriting Taoism in the Inanimate Realm is something that even the real people in the Thirteen Infinite Realms do not allow.
Three years later,
The inanimate realm must be cleansed.
The inanimate flowers produced in the Yuzhu Forest, one of the secret realms of the inanimate realm, can evolve into inanimate beings and save a real person from a catastrophe. It is a must-have for almost all real people.
Things produced in several other secret realms are also very valuable.
If the Immortal Realm has the inheritance of Taoism and several real people are born, then if there is a virtual sky barrier to block it, and the real people from the outer realm can only enter once in a thousand years, these heaven and earth spiritual treasures will hardly be in the hands of the real people from the outer realm.
"It turns out you had a problem with him."
The figure on the top of the mountain turned his head, converged his gaze, and closed his eyes again.
He also had issues with Chen Mu.
Because he is the leader of Lingtian Sect, Li Feisheng’s master, Ling Tianren!
Master Tiansheng stood in the sky with his hands behind his hands and stopped talking. He only looked at the vast and boundless sky barrier. After a while, he walked to another peak not far away and sat down cross-legged.
Real people have endless lifespan.
Although there is a limit to the Tao Tribulation, in just three years, a long life is just a snap of the finger. The importance of the Inanimate Realm makes it worth waiting for earlier.
…
The real people in the outer realm are waiting for the virtual sky barrier to be further weakened.
However, those Xu Dan and various sects who entered the territory of Dayuan all calmed down and quietly explored some secret realms that they could explore, looking for opportunities.
For many people, being able to catch up with the tide of heaven and earth that occurs once in a thousand years and enter the inanimate realm is an opportunity in itself. After all, many secret realms contain precious spiritual objects of heaven and earth.
Obtaining these can enhance one's foundation and increase one's probability of breaking through the barrier between heaven and man.
But just when the monks from all sides restrained themselves and explored those secret realms, Chen Mu did not interfere anymore and just stayed in Kyoto and began to retreat.
Compared with those secret realms, condensing the golden elixir and further improving the heart and soul are much more important. After all, in three years, the real people from the outside world will enter the Great Yuan territory.
It’s also unclear what the actual strength of these real people from the outside world is.
Si Tiantai.
Tianshi Mansion.
In the retreat room on the highest floor.
Chen Mu sat cross-legged and had been in this state for nearly three months.
[Name: Chen Mu]
【Age:23】
[Realm: Void Pill]
[Heart and soul: Yin Shen lv32 (+)]
[Soul Points: 14 points]
The description on the system interface has changed again, and the soul level has reached level 32.
When the heart and soul broke through lv30, it seemed to be a span. Chen Mu clearly felt that the power of his heart and soul had increased a lot, but it did not seem to be a qualitative change in the realm.
It is difficult to determine how much stronger he has become, but at least his soul power alone has increased by more than 50%.
As for cultivation, in the past few months of practice, it has been getting closer and closer to the limit of virtual elixir!
According to this progress, in another year at most, he can try to gather the true essence and condense the golden elixir. And with his current state of mind and soul, this step will probably not be difficult at all.
I do not know how long it has been.
Chen Mu suddenly opened his eyes.
"The time has come."
He murmured, and then called up the system interface.
Unless he fell into a deep trance and entered a state of enlightenment, he had never stopped wandering around in the underworld. Once a day had long been a required course for him.
A thought.
Swish.
The scene in front of me changed rapidly, once again showing the boundless graveyard.
At the current state, Chen Mu can finally adapt to the Netherworld environment, but this is still under the premise of having white fluorescent body protection.
Without the protection of this layer of system, even with his current level of mind and soul, wandering in this Netherworld would probably still be an extremely dangerous thing.
"Let's continue."
Chen Mu lowered his head and looked at the dark brown blood stains on the grave soil.
Since a few months ago, he had been tracing the dark brown blood stains flowing on the grave, but after tracing for several months, he still could not find its source.
You must know that he is now in the realm of a real person. It can be said that he can cross hundreds of miles in a single thought. Even if the time he travels in the netherworld is only a quarter of an hour at most, it is enough for him to travel an extremely long distance. It is enough for him to travel to the outside world.
One round trip to and from the northern and southern borders of Dayuan!
For several months, he didn't know how far he had traveled, but during this period, except for encountering a small number of dead souls, he saw no other changes.
The only change was that the dark brown blood stains on the grave soil were slightly wider.
"What kind of creature is it..."
Chen Mu murmured in his heart.
This dark brown blood has flowed for such a long and far distance. Even if the blood of hundreds of millions of people in the entire Great Yuan Dynasty were drained, it would not be that much.
Not to mention the horror inside. Even in his current state, if he gets close and tries to touch, a crazy warning will still be heard in his heart. Obviously, even if there is a white fluorescent barrier, it is still very dangerous to touch these blood stains directly.
Chen Mu could feel that even if he had become a real person, there was still a gap of at least one life level between him and the owner of this blood stain.
Just like mortals and real people.
If a real person drops a drop of true blood, even if a mortal without martial arts or cultivation just comes close, they will not be able to withstand the Tao Yun brewing in it and will collapse directly.
Chen Mu tried to explore the source of the black blood. It was an extremely dangerous thing and he shouldn't have done it. However, since he broke the barrier between heaven and man and wandered around in the underworld, he had always felt a kind of something in the underworld.
The call comes from deeper where the black blood flows.
Because of the systematic protection, Chen Mu finally decided to go deeper along the black blood.
Anyway, he was aimlessly exploring in the Netherworld.
that's all.
Chen Mu kept flashing on the grave, and every time he crossed it, he covered a distance of tens or hundreds of miles, and kept moving along the dark brown blood stain.
I don’t know how long I have been moving forward, but there is still an endless expanse of graves in front of me.
However, just when Chen Mu felt that he was going to fail again this time, his eyes suddenly focused and he looked to his right.
See you!
At the end of the line of sight, there was a black trace spreading from one direction. It was another dark brown blood trace!
The two blood traces extended from an unknown distance and towards the front, seeming to meet together somewhere in the front.
The front... is the source?
Chen Mu was shocked.
He slowed down slightly and looked ahead.
He stretched his sight as far forward as possible, and at the same time continued to chase forward, and finally gradually saw the scene at the intersection ahead.
That's not the source.
The two dark brown blood stains merged into a wider blood stain, extending deeper into the netherworld, and the end was still unknown as far as the eye could see.
It's like two split streams that meet here and become a small river.
"what is that?"
Chen Mu's eyes moved slightly, and his eyes fell on the place where the two blood stains met.
At that intersection, the tomb soil showed signs of cracking. Above the broken tomb soil, wisps of black light extended from the black blood, flickering in and out of the void.
It was when he saw the black light that the feeling of being called in Chen Mu's heart became stronger, so much so that he moved closer involuntarily.
wrong!
Chen Mu felt something was wrong.
He forcibly gathered his thoughts and stopped not far away.
But it seems too late.
The black light seemed to sense his approach, flickering suddenly, and then like an extended tentacle, suddenly came through the air and stretched towards Chen Mu.
This speed was extremely fast, so fast that at Chen Mu's current level, he could not react at all. He could only see the black light coming to him in an instant, and falling towards his eyebrows.
next moment.
The black light touched the white fluorescence on his body.
Snapped!
It was as if some kind of spark had struck.
For a moment, the light in the entire netherworld seemed to dim, and the patches of black mist in the sky also made a sizzling sound, and the tomb soil below was shaken to pieces.
The moment the black light touched Chen Mu, Chen Mu's consciousness came to a standstill, as if it was going to take away everything from him and replace everything he had in the next moment.
But this feeling only existed for a moment.
The white fluorescence suddenly exploded, directly covering the black light, making it make a sizzling sound. Finally, a little black mist escaped from it, and was annihilated and disappeared in the shroud of white light.
"..."
There seemed to be a sigh from somewhere.
When Chen Mu regained consciousness, he saw that the black light had calmed down again and turned into a dark light ball, floating quietly in front of him.
After a moment's hesitation, Chen Mu followed his instinct, stretched out his right hand, and touched the black ball of light with his fingertips.
The white fluorescence on the fingertips touches the black light.
But this time, there was no huge movement. Instead, it was like water and milk blending together. They suddenly merged into one place without any obstruction. The black light directly passed through the white fluorescence and suddenly came into contact with Chen Mu. 's soul body.
The moment he came into direct contact with this black light, Chen Mu felt his vision suddenly dim.
In the hazy.
It was as if I saw a phantom of the lake.
This shadow is so majestic, stepping on the boundless grave soil, holding up the sky thousands of feet high, the dust swirling around him seems to be a galaxy after another, and wisps of mist are rising and falling around his body.
boom!
Even if it was just the phantom of the lake, Chen Mu felt that his heart and soul were about to explode, his consciousness was about to collapse, and he could not look directly at the phantom.
But then, another kind of warm power surged out from the depths of his heart and soul, which stabilized his heart and soul again. He no longer felt collapsed, but he still couldn't see the face of the phantom clearly.
In the hazy.
I heard the shadow seem to read two obscure words.
"Gui Ku..."
If Chen Mu had not yet broken through the barrier between heaven and man, he might still be a little confused at this time, but now he was stunned and immediately understood.
This is inheritance.
An inheritance of ancient Taoism.
It was similar to the magic used by the great demons he had encountered. It was only expressed in two words, but there was an ancient magical power brewing in it.
"Ghosts cry."
Chen Mu murmured.
The moment those two words came into his mind, he understood the meaning of these two words and the name of the spell they carried, including the means of performing them and everything else.
A moment.
Everything disappeared.
There was no trace of that majestic shadow, and the boundless withered yellow grave soil appeared before my eyes.
"Is that phantom the master of Black Blood?"
Chen Mu vaguely understood something.
Even mortals will have lingering obsessions after death, let alone the owner of the black blood soaked in the grave soil. No matter he is alive or dead, the lingering thoughts will probably not dissipate for billions of years.
The black light at the intersection of the black blood may be a ray of immortal thoughts of the other party. If it swallowed him up all at once, it might further erode his physical body in reality, and then use his physical body to struggle and revive.
.
Whether he succeeds or not, he will definitely be doomed.
But the system unreasonably wiped out all the dangerous parts.
Instead, he got an ancient Taoist teaching from it.
This technique comes from that majestic phantom, its level cannot be distinguished at all, and there is no doubt that it far exceeds the level of a real person.
Moreover, Chen Mu could tell that this was a pure soul method, a kind of soul magic. With his current soul power, the explosive power would probably be unimaginable.
