Tianci arrived at Qingcheng Mountain early. Firstly, he asked Master Tian for advice on some cultivation issues. Secondly, he wanted to learn as much as possible about this operation.
At noon, everyone gathered together, and Tian Tong introduced Tianci respectively.
There are five Jindan monks, three from the Taoist sect and two from the Buddhist sect. In addition to Tian Tong and Tianci from the Taoist sect, there is also Tao Tiansheng and Taoist Master of the Qingwei sect; from the Buddhist sect, Tianci has met both of them, and one is from the same school.
The other monk who went to Death Valley was the old monk who entered the secret realm of Wuling and rescued everyone with Master Tian Dao. His Buddhist name was Mingshi.
After introducing each other, Tianci also understood the cultivation realms of the five people: Tian Tong was the highest level, with the ninth level of golden elixir, followed by monk Mingshi with the eighth level of golden elixir, monk Xinyuan with the seventh level of golden elixir, Tianci with the sixth level of golden elixir, and Tao Shengdao.
Five layers of long golden elixir.
The God-given gift of being already at the sixth level of the Golden Core at such a young age quickly became the focus of everyone's discussion.
Among the foundation-building monks, Tianci also met an acquaintance he hadn’t seen for a long time: Zhang Mengmeng, who was on the eighth level of foundation-building. As the youngest foundation-building monk in the current world of cultivation, he would definitely not be absent from such an important action; of course, there were also two people from Baiyun Temple.
A young junior.
Regarding the appearance of Tianci, although Zhang Mengmeng remained calm on the surface, there was no doubt that there was a storm in his heart.
The golden elixir stage great monks have always seen the dragon but not its tail. The last time I explored the Five Ridges, I was lucky enough to see the powerful abilities of two golden elixir monks, which already made Zhang Mengmeng admired. It is said that this operation can see five of them at once, which is such a rare opportunity.
, Zhang Mengmeng was really excited for a long time. When she saw Tianci, whom she had not seen for a long time, chatting and laughing with the legendary golden elixir monk, even the stupidest person would know that Tianci was already a legendary golden elixir monk.
Even a calm person like Zhang Mengmeng felt unbelievable, and her heart was filled with turmoil:
"How is this possible? Why so fast? How is this possible?"
It was shocking enough that such a young Tianci could form an elixir. It was said that he was a great monk at the sixth level of the elixir. This was completely beyond the limits of Zhang Mengmeng's imagination.
I thought that my cultivation speed was already extremely fast, and the gap between self-confidence and God-given would not be too big. In fact, the gap turned out to be getting bigger and bigger. The terrible reality disturbed Zhang Mengmeng's originally firm Taoist heart.
Five golden elixir monks, fifteen foundation-building monks, and thirty Qi-refining monks are the backbone of each sect's training, accounting for almost half of the entire monastic world.
Tian Tong briefly introduced the five golden elixir monks leading the team; young Tianci undoubtedly became the focus of attention of many juniors.
Just as Tianci expected, everyone headed west and finally stopped at the entrance to the lost world: Animaqing Mountain.
As one of the four major sacred mountains in the Western Regions, Animaqing Divine Mountain has been associated with countless legends. The mother river: the Yellow River, was blocked by the sacred mountain and had to change its course to the north.
Under the special arrangements of the relevant departments, the monks reached the foot of the sacred mountain unimpeded.
According to the original arrangement, there were supposed to be two Tibetan Tantric monks waiting here to serve as guides for everyone. Unfortunately, after the monks waited for half a day, the guide did not show up. Think about it and understand that this is originally a sacred place for Tantric Buddhism.
Nowadays, a group of monks from the Central Plains want to enter the Holy Land, but they must not be willing to do so.
Seeing that the guide had not been waiting for a long time, Chief Tian Dao, the general leader of this operation, announced that he would directly enter the mountain.
Animaqing Mountain, the top of the mountain is covered with snow all year round, and the Yellow River is forced to change its course to the north here. According to relevant information, on the snow-covered mountain top facing the Yellow River from the west, there is an exposed dark rock, which is the legendary lost world.
Entrance. The Yellow River, carrying the rolling "dragon energy", turns northward at this bend. The rolling dragon energy is forced to rise and merge into the lost world along the entrance.
Standing at the foot of the mountain and looking up, God gave me a moment of trance. Thirty years have passed since the Lotus World was destroyed. Priest Kule used his life to protect six friends from escaping from the fire. Three people fell to death in the Qianzhang Cave, and two were frightened and ran away.
After going back, only Tianci managed to escape. This is the place where Tianci will always feel pain in his heart, and it is also the place he has been deliberately avoiding.
Thirty years later, I am already a great monk in the golden elixir stage, and I have revisited my old place and experienced the vicissitudes of life.
After so many years of studying and reading materials, I have a deeper understanding of the godsends of the Lotus World.
The Lotus World is actually an independent space similar to the "Three Yuan Ji Zhen Cave". The same place has different names. People inside call it "Lotus World", and the Western Regions call it "Shambhala" or "Shangri-La"
, the Central Plains region calls it the 'Lost World'.
The people living inside are actually the same as the people outside. They all moved in from outside in order to avoid the war. The characters used inside are actually the ancient characters of the Western Regions; the living habits are also similar to those of the Western Regions.
Braving the cold wind and snow, everyone arrived at the entrance to the top of the mountain. Master Tian led six Qi-refining monks into the cave and entered first; Tao Tiansheng, Taoist Taoist priest, hugged six Qi-refining monks and followed closely behind; followed by several Foundation-building monks.
The monk ascended and entered according to the method taught by Taoist Master Tian previously.
The monks in the Qi Refining Stage can feel the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but they cannot use the spiritual energy to fly. Flying in the air is the most important sign of the monks in the Foundation Establishment Stage. The thirty Qi Refining monks have to rely on the coercion of five Golden Pill monks to fly.
Everyone entered in the same manner. As the youngest Jindan cultivator, Tianci undoubtedly shouldered the task of cutting off the aftermath. Finally, he carried six Qi refining cultivators and flew in.
Entering the entrance, there is a 30-meter-long square stone chamber. In the middle of the empty stone chamber stands a blue stone tablet. There is a deep vertical hole behind the stone tablet. There are some curved symbols engraved on the stone tablet, which are ancient characters from the Western Regions.
When Tianci escaped from here, he only felt it was magical, but he didn't recognize anyone. Now that he immersed his spiritual consciousness in it, a warning text appeared in his mind:
'The entrance to the lotus world is thousands of feet deep. Once you go there, there will be no return. You will not reach bliss or enter reincarnation.'
According to the previous discussion, Tianci, the youngest Jindan monk, was to enter the cave first with a string of ropes to open a way. Tianci looked at the entrance of the cave and said to Tian Tong and others:
"This cave is called Qianzhang Cave. It is a thousand feet deep. There is a pile of corpses at the bottom of the cave. The rope we prepared is just enough!"
Looking at the curious eyes of everyone, Tianci explained:
"I've been here before!"
Everyone was overjoyed when they heard this.
Tianci had gone in before and was able to stay here safely, which meant that there was no danger as imagined. Looking at Tianci who had such cultivation at such a young age, everyone agreed that it was the opportunity gained inside.
Of course, God's gift is impossible to explain.
According to the information obtained by everyone, the key to entering and exiting the lost world is this 'Thousand Zhang Cave'.
The Qianzhang Cave can be entered but not exited.
It is said that if the people inside want to come out, they will be blown by the endless "strong wind" in the cave. This wind is not a spring breeze, not a cold wind, not a warm wind, but an evil wind specifically targeted at monks. It penetrates the nine orifices, passes through the Dantian, and closes the cave.
Roots of humanity, clearing cultivation. Although it is a legend, the task of this trip is arduous, and we must avoid any accidents as much as possible, so we have prepared a special rope.
After confirming that the rope was safe, Taoist Master Tian, Tao Master, and others each entered with six Qi Refining monks. Everyone entered one after another, and Tianci continued to cut off the rear.
The deep cave is as deep as a thousand feet; the cave walls are carved with various curved lines, which are natural and harmonious. At the bottom of the cave, which is a thousand feet deep, is a mountain-like pile of bones. Beyond the pile of bones is a bluestone hall;
Opposite the main hall, there were eight glaring diamond statues, staring ferociously at the people who suddenly broke in. Tianci slowly put the six foundation-building monks into the hall. Looking at the monks who were tightening their breath in the hall, he also quickly took out the bags from his pockets.
He took out a few spiritual fruits to replenish his physical energy.
Turning around to look at the thick bones at the bottom of the cave:
"Among this mountain of corpses, there are three of my companions!
It is indeed a Thousand-Zhang Cave! Even ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage monks would die here due to physical exhaustion if they entered such a deep cave rashly. If it were not for the five Golden Core Stage monks who had done some tricks along the way, they would have saved money for all the Foundation Establishment Stage monks.
Physical fitness, I don’t know how many people will die from this.
How did I get out when I was weak? How much will I have to survive..."
While he was deep in thought, Master Tian came over and said to Tianci mysteriously:
"Fellow Daoist Wang, when you came down just now, did you feel any difference in the cave?"
After this reminder, Tianci thought carefully about:
"It's a little special, but I can't remember it right now!"
"Death Valley!"
"Oh! Yes, senior reminded me that the feeling in the cave is similar to the feeling when entering the entrance of Death Valley. Is there any connection between this place and Death Valley?"
"It's hard to say. I hope you and I feel wrong. Otherwise, with such a deep hole and such a strong thunder punishment, no one of us can even think of getting out!~"
"Well, but the matter has come to this, we can't go back now, can we?!"
"It's good that you and I know each other. At present, we can only take one step at a time."
"Listen to senior's arrangements."
"When did you come in last time? How did you get out?"
This is the part that Tian Tong is most concerned about.
Tianci thought for a while and said softly:
"This place was destroyed when we came here."
"What? It was destroyed inside?"
"right!"
It could be seen that Tianci didn't want to talk more. Tian Tong was still a little shocked when he heard the news that this place was destroyed, but everyone had already come in. Even if it was destroyed, they still wanted to see what happened.
