For Jindan Zhenren, decades pass in a blink of an eye, but for Zhenjun, hundreds of years often pass by in one retreat.
For mortals, hundreds of years are already several lifetimes, and for secular dynasties, it is also the rise and fall of one day.
After returning to the Yuan Dynasty, Chen Mu disappeared from the world and did not appear in the mortal world. Only Lu Shiyun, Xiyu and other close relatives could occasionally receive Chen Mu's decrees and tell them to do some things, such as worship and reward.
kind.
In a blink of an eye, thirty-seven years have passed.
Some masters and even great masters who had met Chen Mu failed to embark on the path and could not resist the passage of time. They died at the end of their lives and died silently in the years.
The Xuanhuai Palace, which prospered due to the rise of Chen Mu, has become more and more prosperous in the past few decades. However, the Duke of Xuan, Chen Guang, and the current King of Xuanhuai are already old and approaching the end of their lifespan.
Mr. Meng passed away a long time ago, but Zhao Li, who was originally worshiping Zhao Li, has embarked on the road, but he only reached the completion of foundation building and stopped there. Although he still has longevity, his temples are gray.
The maids and servants in the palace were replaced one after another.
Only those who had stayed in Chen Mu's courtyard had not been replaced. Among them, Xiaomei, Hua Shi and others followed Ning Qiang to serve and practice. Under the influence of the pure Taoist body, each of them also entered the foundation building realm.
He doesn't look much older.
Ning Qiang still hasn't taken that step to hit the barrier between heaven and man, but her cultivation has already reached its peak, and her understanding of the Tao of heaven and earth is also very deep. With her pure Tao body and Chen Mu protecting the Tao, it is almost impossible to take that step.
It won't be too difficult. The reason why I haven't stepped out yet is because I still don't want to break away from the secular world.
Chen Mu also let her go and did not interfere.
As a true king, he must be surrounded by real people to serve him. In the past thirty years, there have been two people who have broken through the barrier between heaven and man, and both of them have crossed over.
The first is Chen Mu's disciple Li Chenxing. From the moment he became Chen Mu's disciple, he had no ties in the world. Later, he embarked on the path of sword cultivation. When he attacked the barrier between heaven and man, he only attacked silently and achieved results silently.
Even Chen Mu was vaguely aware of Li Chenxing's attack and glanced at it from a distance.
The second is Chen Yao.
As the younger sister of a living true king, she has profound luck. She has also climbed the martial arts, sharpened her will, and her Taoist heart is firm and firm. After experiencing several more opportunities, she returned to the Inanimate Realm for retreat.
Her breakthrough was much more thrilling than that of Li Chenxing, and she also experienced inner demons and tribulations in the process, but in the end she survived them one by one, and finally took that step, condensed the golden elixir, and became a real person.
Some people succeed in their efforts, and some people fail in their efforts.
Yan Hanyu broke through the barrier between heaven and man before Li Chenxing. He was the first person before Chen Mu to break through the realm of real people, but in the end he was a little short and failed to break through that barrier.
If an ordinary monk fails to attack the barrier between heaven and man, he will almost certainly die due to backlash. Even if he is lucky enough to survive, his Taoist foundation will often collapse, his cultivation will be lost, and he will become a useless person.
But at the critical moment, Chen Mu took action.
All creatures attack the barrier between heaven and man in order to break the shackles of heaven and earth. Although the existence of the true king can intervene, it is also a violation of the laws between heaven and earth. Although Yan Hanyu was rescued in the end and nothing happened, something secretly happened.
I can feel that I have been vaguely marked by this world.
This is not much different from Chen Mu's judgment before he took action. Interfering with the monks' attack on the barrier between heaven and man will violate the laws between heaven and earth. Once or twice, it will not be a big deal. If it is accumulated more times, it will bring down heaven and earth.
Great calamity.
Moreover, the time when this calamity comes is not instantaneous, but comes at the same time as the heavens and humans decline.
Even if a true king exists, he must be cautious when facing the calamity of the decline of gods and humans. Therefore, almost no one is willing to increase the difficulty of his calamity of the decline of gods and humans and do such things as interfering with the monks' impact on the realm of real people.
Otherwise, there would already be an endless supply of Golden Core Immortals in the Holy Land, all over the place, but the fact is that even in a Holy Land, it would be difficult for more than a hundred Golden Core Immortals to exist in an era.
Chen Mu will also not take action for irrelevant people.
The only people who would make him break the rules of heaven and earth even once and rescue him are Chen Yao and other recent people.
Yan Hanyu was rescued by him, and his cultivation and Dao foundation were intact. It can be said that he had an extra chance to attack the barrier between heaven and man for the second time, and with the experience of the first time, the second time will be much easier.
Chen Mu did not tell Yan Hanyu, Chen Yao and others in advance that he could come to the rescue if the attack failed. After all, to attack the barrier between heaven and man, you must have the will to move forward. If you have not yet broken through, you must first consider the retreat.
It is almost wishful thinking to cross the barrier between heaven and man.
Yan Hanyu didn't expect that he could survive despite his failed attack, but he still vaguely guessed that Chen Mu would have to pay some price for interfering.
So she came outside the palace where Chen Mu had been in seclusion all year round, and knelt down towards the palace. However, before she could bend down, she was held up by a soft force. At the same time, she heard Chen Mu say in her ear, "I understand."
'.
Having a second chance to hit the barrier between heaven and man is an opportunity that countless Xudan monks hope for. Yan Hanyu naturally understands the weight of this, but she also determined that the next time will be the last one.
Either there will be another Yan Zhenren in the world, or the body will die and the Tao will disappear and turn into dust.
Chen Mu agreed.
This step is indeed something that cannot be repeated. Even if he does not care about the calamity he will suffer if he violates the rules of heaven and earth, if he cannot overcome it the second time, then it is impossible to maintain the indomitable Taoist heart. No matter how many times he takes it, it will be useless.
In the past few decades, there have been other people who have attacked the barrier between heaven and man. They were all masters and even great masters of the martial arts back then. After they changed their path, like Yan Hanyu, they were able to enter the realm of Xudan in a short time.
But the barrier between heaven and man is too difficult.
Although there were three people around Chen Mu who attacked and two succeeded, they also had nearly a hundred years of accumulation since their cultivation, and with the existence of Chen Mu, the true king, they were able to do this.
Other monks who had nothing to do with Chen Mu did not have such luck. A total of more than ten people broke through the barrier between heaven and man, but in the end only one person broke through the real person, and all the others died.
This real person used to be one of the masters of the martial arts temple.
After he became a real person, he went to Chen Mu's retreat palace to stand respectfully and listen to the decree. Finally, he received a response from Chen Mu that said, "Everything is as you wish." Then he bowed respectfully and left.
Then he left Dayuan and established his own sect, opening up the first Xianmen Dao Sect.
It is not appropriate to say that it is the first, because there have been immortal sects and Taoist sects in the Great Yuan Dynasty, but these immortal sects are just superficial. They are only established by some foundation-building monks. They are not considered real immortal sects in the outside world.
.
Only a true Taoist sect can be regarded as a real Taoist sect if it is founded by a real person. The Taoist name of this real person is ‘Huanwo’, and the sect founded is named ‘Huanzhen Sect’.
It is also the first immortal Taoist sect to be re-established since the Taoist lineage was cut off for tens of thousands of years.
Chen Mu resigned to this.
In fact, the real Huanwo can stay in the Yuan Dynasty, and it is much better to stay in the Yuan Dynasty than to start a sect on his own. After all, with the existence of his true king, the Yuan Dynasty will sooner or later transform from a secular dynasty to a sect.
A holy land of immortals!
Let any real person from the outside world make a choice. They will definitely be willing to join the Holy Land instead of starting a sect. Not to mention that it is possible to hear the sermons of Chen Mu, the real king, in the Holy Land.
The background of the Immortal Gate Holy Land is enough to make people fearful when walking outside.
Dayuan's nonchalant attitude towards Huanzhen Sect finally made Chen Mu's will known to the world.
As a result, various sects began to spring up like mushrooms after a rain.
Although almost all of them are small forces established by foundation-building monks, it also means that in the past few decades, Dayuan's orthodoxy has been recovering at an extremely fast speed.
…
Kyoto.
Today's Great Yuan Kyoto is completely different from decades ago. The original Kyoto was already very vast and majestic, but now it has been expanded nearly five or six times.
The whole atmosphere of Kyoto has taken on a completely new look, and the scene of hungry people everywhere and corpses buried in the ground is almost no longer seen.
For the present world, a real person who has survived a tribulation and has "auspicious energy" in his body can bring auspiciousness to the world where he lives, and the land and water in that area will have good weather and good harvests.
What's more, Jindan Zhenren himself has broken the common sense of the world. His true energy is endless and flowing endlessly, which is enough to maintain the vitality of an area. However, when he reaches the real person state and can see the essence of the world, he is no longer the same kind of life as mortals. Even if he is against
Mortal people feel "pity", but this kind of pity is only for life, not for people.
Chen Munai is the true king. Although he is not the orthodox immortal path of forming an elixir and transforming into an infant, he is still a real living true king. He only needs to stay in a certain place to make the entire spiritual world peaceful.
Even the spiritual world is stable, let alone the present world.
The aura in Kyoto is so rich that even without the spirit-gathering array, it is almost more than those of the Taoist Immortal Sects in the outer regions. Almost all mortals can be free from illness and disaster, and the prosperity and prosperity of the world can be imagined.
Already.
The Imperial City located in the center of Kyoto is much more majestic than it was a few decades ago. Some of the palaces are even more awe-inspiring, making people feel awe at just one glance.
Located in the deepest part of the imperial city.
There is a very quiet palace here. There is not a single maid inside or outside the palace. It is deserted, but there is not a trace of dust in the entire palace and courtyard.
Occasionally, a fallen leaf falls from the treetops, but before it hits the ground, it disintegrates silently, turns into dots of aura, blends directly into the space between heaven and earth, and disappears.
suddenly.
A figure appeared not far away and walked towards here.
She was wearing a light green dress, her eyes were filled with charm, and her aura was thick and deep. She was in the realm of Xudan, and she had obviously been immersed in it for many years, almost reaching the peak of this realm.
The closer she got to the palace, the more solemn her expression became, and her eyes showed respect.
When she arrived in front of the palace, Lu Shiyun stopped and saluted in the direction of the palace.
"To my true lord, the corpse you mentioned has not been found, but its location has been found. I have set up a tombstone there and filled in the inscription."
Finish this sentence.
Lu Shiyun stood aside respectfully and waited quietly.
There was silence inside the palace, as if there were no people or living things at all.
I do not know how long it has been.
A calm voice sounded from her ear.
"good."
Just one simple word, and everything falls silent again.
Lu Shiyun was not surprised. She still maintained her standing posture. After waiting for a long time and no other instructions came, she bowed respectfully towards the palace and then slowly stepped back.
…
Inside the palace.
Looking into the hall from the outside, what I saw was silence, and the entire hall was dark and dark.
But if you step into the temple, you will suddenly find that it is as if you have stepped into a brand new world. Not only is the entire temple as bright as day, you can even see the blue sky and white clouds without even seeing the dome.
Under this blue sky, there is a quiet and elegant land and water. There is a crystal clear pond with lotus leaves floating on it. There is also a pavilion in the center of the pond. In the pavilion, Chen Mu's figure is standing there quietly.
Whether it is the scenery or the space, the inside and outside of the palace are visually inconsistent.
The reason why this is so is because the interior of the palace is no longer in this world, but a part of the spiritual world, a part shaped by Chen Mu.
If Chen Mu were not here, then this place would become a terrifying place eroded by the spiritual world. But with Chen Mu here, there would be blue sky and white clouds, quiet ponds and green lotus leaves.
Chen Mu glanced outside the palace.
Then he looked away.
With a thought, the system interface appeared in front of his eyes.
[Name: Chen Mu]
[Age: a while]
[Realm: Golden elixir]
[Heart and soul: Yuan Ling lv5 (+)]
[Supernatural power: thoughts transform into one element, free domain]
[Mantra of the Netherworld: Ghosts cry, rain of blood]
[Soul points: 76832 points]
"I have accumulated a little more, which is better than nothing..."
Compared with more than thirty years ago, the entire interface has undergone tremendous changes. The realm of the soul has been raised from the lv2 level to the lv5 level!
If we calculate it according to the Yuanying monk and the unity of a hundred ways, then Chen Mu has already reached that level when he was at Yuanling lv4, and now he has gone even higher.
This is what Chen Mu has achieved over the past thirty years.
Although he may not be able to obtain soul points every time he travels in the Netherworld, but after his cultivation reaches the True Lord Realm, the range of movement he can move during each time he travels in the world will be larger, and it will be easier to find the wandering souls.
The soul points accumulated in these thirty years are many times more than those in the previous thirty years.
It's just that after the soul transforms into Yuanling, each small level improvement is not an increase of 10,000 points as Chen Mu had guessed before, but each level up is doubled as before.
Now that his heart and soul have reached the level of Yuanling lv5, the number of soul points required to upgrade to lv6 has reached 160,000 points. Even at his current speed of collecting soul points, it will take ten or twenty years.
Only then can we get it all together.
It will definitely get slower and slower in the future.
But it doesn't matter.
After all, the current level of Yuan Ling lv5 is already a huge gap compared to before. Now Chen Mu can easily crush his previous self with just a flick of his finger.
In the spirit world, a single strike of the Heart Sword can create a crack that stretches over a hundred thousand feet!
If he were to strike at Ming Hai and the others with a sword at this moment, the other party would probably be ineffective no matter what method they used, and they would be crushed to ashes with just one blow, leaving not even a trace of their souls left.
