In a courtyard somewhere, Chen Yao was telling Ning Qiang something with a smile.
Nowadays, the temperament of the two of them has changed a lot compared to many years ago. Needless to say, Chen Yao has broken through to the realm of foundation building and is already an innate body. Her body is as crystal clear as jade, and she no longer has the blood and energy of an ordinary warrior.
The turbid air has its own fragrance.
Ning Qiang practices orthodox Taoism and has now reached the fifth realm of transformation, corresponding to the fifth level of a warrior. This cultivation speed can be said to be extremely fast. Among the people around Chen Mu, Ning Qiang is the most indifferent to cultivation.
On the contrary, he has the highest qualifications. Not to mention his spiritual roots, his physique seems to be higher than that of the spiritual body, and he is suspected of being a Taoist body.
In the Thirteen Borderless Realms, spiritual bodies are already very rare. Any kind of spiritual body is an existence that all major sects compete for, and the Tao body is even higher than the spiritual body.
If a monk with a spiritual body can be half to 10% more confident than ordinary monks when breaking through the barrier between heaven and man, then the Taoist body can be improved by another 10% on this basis.
In a certain area, several spiritual bodies may appear every hundred years.
But as for Taoism, it is rare to see one in a thousand years.
This is not only because the Tao body is rare, but also has a more important reason, that is, the Tao body is very easy to die young, because the innate birth consumes too much vitality and destiny, so before being exposed to cultivation, it will be better than ordinary mortals.
Weaker.
If you were born in a remote village and were not discovered by anyone, you would probably not live past the age of ten or twenty and turn into a piece of loess, born in heaven and earth and then return to heaven and earth.
"...Then the second brother appeared. He raised his hand and lifted up the entire mountain, exposing the cave at once, as if a skull had been lifted."
"After that, the monks inside were scared to death. The second brother rescued sister Ruoyan, and then he blew a breath, and the outside monk who controlled the auction turned into gray."
"Then the second brother took us to the nearest city and dropped us off. I stayed there for a few days and taught a Taoist method to Sister Ruoyan..."
Chen Yao was happily telling what happened not long ago.
Ning Qiang looked a little helpless as she listened to the side. The scary descriptions of skulls and the like would have frightened her before. Now she has gradually gained cultivation in Taoism, her mind is stable, and her mentality and state of mind have also improved.
Change, even when seeing some bloody scenes, I can still remain calm.
"Did he leave you there and then leave?"
Ning Qiang waited until Chen Yao finished speaking before asking.
Chen Yao nodded, curled her lips and said, "Second brother is as innocent as a monk now. Sister Ruoyan is so beautiful, he doesn't even take a second look at her."
Ning Qiang shook her head slightly and said: "He is a real person. He is in such a profound state. What he sees in his eyes are probably red and pink skeletons, which is different from the world we see."
Chen Yao smiled and said: "Then you are wrong. Although a real person's realm is high and the world he sees is different, he is still a 'human' after all, he just becomes stronger."
She was very curious about the realm of real people and had an in-depth chat with Chen Mu.
Chen Mu told her that real people are above the mortal world, can understand the wonders of all things, and can see the fate and cause of mortals at a glance, but they are still human in essence, and they are people with greater wisdom and power.
The purpose of cultivation is to maintain the original mind, and this is also true in the realm of real people. However, real people are more difficult to be deceived by external objects, and will almost never sink in the world. Even if they are in the world of mortals, they will not be stained by dust.
Chen Yao had a deep understanding of this.
She also thinks so. Just like the practice of martial arts, it is a process of strengthening the original intention from the beginning, and the will of martial arts is a manifestation of the original intention.
If after practicing Taoism, she is no longer herself, then there is no point in practicing Taoism. She would rather continue to practice martial arts and be a mortal for the rest of her life.
It was precisely because of this understanding that she changed her path directly from Wu to Wu without any resistance.
"It's always different."
Ning Qiang's eyes were slightly distracted. When she came back to her senses, she showed a little worry and said, "He ruined the auction of that foreign monk, will he get into any big trouble?"
"Also, the Shengsheng Sect and the Ultimate Bliss Sect were both cleaned up by him. The real people worshiped behind them are all still alive. I'm afraid they are also a source of trouble."
Although she has been meditating in Xuanguo Mansion and has never gone out, Ning Qiang still knows a lot about things outside.
Chen Yao shrugged and said: "There is indeed a force from the outside world behind that auction. It seems to be called Tianbao Pavilion, and there is a real person named Tianbao..."
"But the second brother acts so steadily, sister-in-law, don't worry. Now all the real people are running over, maybe the second brother can suppress them all with one hand."
These words were spoken from the bottom of her heart.
Although on the surface Chen Mu is just a new real person who has not yet passed through the Dao tribulation, maybe Chen Mu's current cultivation level is higher than that of a real person!
It's just that she doesn't quite know what realm is beyond the real person.
"one hand……"
Ning Qiang looked helpless.
Even if she didn't know much about the realm of real people from outside the realm, she knew that so many real people were definitely not easy to deal with.
Although Chen Mu had once suppressed the great demon and killed the demon king, it would not be difficult to do these things if he carried the memory and inheritance of the real person in the previous life. But now he has to deal with the real person who is above the mortal world. Just listen to it.
Those descriptions of real people will tell you what kind of state it is.
What Chen Yao said about suppressing it with one hand was too far-fetched.
"Sister-in-law, don't believe it. My second brother loves to do this kind of thing in his life. He usually doesn't show off, but then suddenly appears and gives others a hard blow."
Chen Yao blinked.
But as soon as he finished speaking, a voice continued.
"Well, you're right, you understand me very well."
The sound came directly from behind Chen Yao, and then Chen Yao felt a finger fall heavily on the top of her head, making a "winter" sound.
"Hey young!"
Chen Yao suddenly let out a cry of pain. Even with the innate body of a Foundation Establishment monk, he felt a strong pain piercing directly from his forehead into his body, penetrating to the deepest part.
After trembling all over, he covered his forehead with his two small hands and staggered a few steps. Then he turned his head and looked at Chen Mu who had appeared behind him at some point. He felt like crying without tears.
This really came out of nowhere and gave me a hard blow!
"Why does it hurt so much..."
Chen Yao's small face was squeezed into a bitter melon.
She is a foundation-building monk with an innate body. At such a state, her control over her body has already reached the most subtle level. As long as she is willing, she will not feel it, let alone being knocked on the head, even if her body is cut by Ling Chi.
A little painful.
But that moment just now, no matter how much she tried to control and isolate it, she still couldn't isolate it. The pain was like a sharp needle piercing directly into her body, all the way to the deepest part.
"Because it's not your body that's being knocked, but your perception."
Chen Mu glanced at Chen Yao: "You dare to arrange things behind my back."
Said.
He raised his hand again, as if to knock.
Chen Yao immediately surrendered and said aggrievedly: "It's obviously a compliment, but it's not an arrangement."
After defending, Chen Yao put down her hand and said curiously: "Second brother, why did you suddenly come here today?"
In the past few years, even she has rarely seen Chen Mu. Although she can go see him whenever she wants, Chen Mu spends most of his time in seclusion, and naturally she will not disturb him.
Chen Mu suddenly returned to Xuanguo Mansion today, which was a rare event.
"Because I heard you arranging me."
Chen Mu glanced at Chen Yao and then said: "...I'm here to give you something, and I'm waiting for some people who will be here soon."
While talking.
Chen Mu gently raised his hand, and a cabbage with a little dirt on it appeared in his palm. The dirt was still a little wet, and it looked like it had been picked freshly from a roadside vegetable garden.
Chen Yao looked at the cabbage and suddenly became confused.
On the contrary, Ning Qiang next to her, whose cultivation was not yet at the level of foundation building, noticed something strange immediately. She frowned slightly, looked at the cabbage in Chen Mu's palm, and said: "This is..."
"Daoshenghua."
Chen Mu looked at Chen Yao and responded, praising lightly: "Your physique should undoubtedly be a Taoist body, otherwise it would be impossible to detect its abnormality."
As the words fell, Chen Mu pointed a finger, and the cabbage quietly decomposed, and two leaves were peeled off, flying towards Chen Yao and Ning Qiang respectively, and fell into their hands.
"Your cultivation level is still too low. You can only use one piece at most."
Chen Mu spoke.
Chen Yao's cultivation has reached the level of foundation building. A piece of Daoshenghua is enough for her to completely consolidate her realm and make a big leap. Ning Qiang's cultivation should not be able to use Daoshenghua, but she has a Taoist body. Able to carry the power of a Daosheng flower.
However, she is already a Taoist body. If she absorbs another piece of Taoist flower, her cultivation level will be improved in a short period of time as if she were ascending. She may soon be able to surpass the mortal transformation stage and step into the foundation-building realm.
Chen Mu hopes that Ning Qiang and Chen Yao can become real people.
Also includes Qin Xiyu, Yan Hanyu and others.
Because if you don't become a real person, even if you cultivate to the realm of virtual elixir, you will only have a lifespan of a few hundred years at most. Once your lifespan is exhausted, you will sit down and your soul will return to heaven and earth.
Even if Chen Mu stopped making progress in his cultivation, he could easily survive more than a dozen Taoist tribulations and live for tens of thousands of years. This was an extremely long time, and he didn't want to look back when there would be no one around him.
He is not actually high-minded.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many women around me, all of whom are considered to be the most beautiful in the world. There are human emperors like Qin Xiyu and martial arts masters like Yan Hanyu.
It's just that he didn't care about how many beauties there were around him before, but now he has to care about it, because if he can't cultivate into a real person, he will return to dust in a few hundred years, which will only increase his sadness.
For example, Zhen Ruoyan, whom he rescued before, had reached the fourth level of martial arts at that age. He also admired her talent a little, and his admiration and admiration for him could be seen at a glance.
But he only asked Chen Yao to teach Zhen Ruoyan one Taoist method.
I wonder if she will become a real person after many years.
"this……"
Chen Yao looked at the vegetable leaf in her hand and saw that there was still a little soil left on it. She couldn't help but show a deep suspicion and couldn't help but look at Chen Mu.
Is this Nanye serious?
Could it be that he planned it behind her back to punish her and did it on purpose?
But Ning Qiang also got a piece of it, so if she wanted to be punished, she wouldn't have to take Ning Qiang too.
"Isn't this thing too precious?"
Ning Qiang hesitated for a moment and looked at Chen Mu.
Although she didn't quite understand it, the instinct from her body told her that this ordinary-looking vegetable leaf should be some kind of extremely precious spiritual creature from heaven and earth.
Because during this period, she had come into contact with many spiritual beings from heaven and earth, and had used some, but none of them had given her as strong a feeling as this vegetable leaf.
"Yeah, but I have a lot here, so there's no need to refuse."
Chen Mu nodded slightly.
Of the five Taosheng flowers, he would only use two or three at most, and the rest were reserved for Ning Qiang and others. If they could break through the barrier between heaven and man and become real people, they would be able to have another one in the next thousand years.
Ning Qiang hesitated slightly, but then remembered the second half of what Chen Mu said before, and said, "Uncle, he said he wanted to wait for some people before? It doesn't seem like they are guests."
"It's true that he's not a guest."
Chen Mu laughed, then turned his head, looked to the horizon, and said, "They are already here."
As the words fell.
Ning Qiang looked around in shock and saw that the sky to the east had turned red at some point, as if half the sky was on fire.
And those clouds were soaked with the luster of Danjin, turning into auspicious masses, intertwined with wisps of auspiciousness, but they were the legendary Qingyun!
The auspiciousness is intertwined,
Qingyun covers the sky.
Under the sky, a human figure came through the air. His whole figure did not exude any pressure, but just seeing his figure, he couldn't help but feel a desire to worship in his heart.
The real person from the outside world has arrived in Kyoto!
Countless civilians throughout Kyoto saw the shocking change in the sky, the gathering clouds, and the interweaving wisps of auspicious energy. Countless people couldn't help but kneel down and worship.
The figure was tall and slender, wearing a red robe, with red pill marks between his eyebrows. He had a square face, not angry and powerful, and his eyes were glowing with golden light.
At this time in Kyoto, some of the foundation-building monks from outside the realm also looked at the shocking changes in the sky and the figure that came through the air, and their eyes were startled.
"This is a real vision, the clouds are gathering at the top..."
"Has the real person entered the country?"
"That's... the real person Chichen of Lingtian Sect!"
Someone recognized the identity of the figure in the sky, and their eyes suddenly changed.
Red Chen Zhenren,
He is Li Feisheng’s master!
"I'm afraid I came here to question Li Feisheng."
Someone whispered.
But before everyone could comment, they saw another figure appear behind the real person Chichen, and they formed a line, causing the power of heaven and earth to surge forward in a mighty manner.
"Born a real person!"
"There are also Master Ji Le and Master Han Jian..."
"Why are they all here?"
Many monks looked at this scene with shocked expressions.
In a short period of time, more than ten real people arrived one after another after Chi Chen, and more real people continued to appear from all directions!
Along with the intertwining wisps of auspicious energy, the strange phenomenon of Qingyun in the sky is getting bigger and bigger.
at last.
The entire sky in Kyoto was almost covered by patches of celebrating clouds. Dozens of figures stood in the void, with almost a trace of auspicious energy intertwined around them. The intersection of wisps of coercion seemed to make the sky tremble.
The foreign monks in Kyoto stopped talking at this time. They all looked at the real people in the sky with trembling eyes. Their bodies were stiff, and some couldn't help but swallowed.
Forty-two real people!
Almost half of the real people in the entire Thirteen Borderless Realms!
In silence.
Finally someone spoke.
"Where is Chen Mu?"
This voice was very light, but it was like the power of God, like a will that mortals could not resist. It spread throughout the entire Kyoto in an instant, making everyone who heard it almost involuntarily want to answer.
Chen Yao and Ning Qiang also stood frozen on the spot. When they heard this voice, their expressions were dazed, and they both responded involuntarily.
But then.
Some invisible force quietly swayed.
The dazed expressions of the two people suddenly froze, and their eyes quickly regained consciousness. When they were startled, they saw that Chen Mu next to them had already stepped forward, walking up to the sky step by step.
"I am right here."
It swayed away with a light sound.
this moment.
The eyes of the entire Kyoto were focused on the white-clothed figure ascending to the sky step by step.
