Chapter 55: Immortal Road Broken Early, Martial Dao Nearly Died
What a master! Lin Yu sighed.
The mountain patrol brother was even more confused.
He only knew that the ruins were a forbidden area and could not be illuminated with flashlights, but he never knew that there were people in the ruins!
And this old man's voice seemed to be far away in the horizon, but also seemed to be right in front of him.
What happened tonight simply refreshed his understanding!
Cultivation? Strange girl, old man in the ruins...
Almost instantly, a thin old man wearing a monk's robe, whose face could not be seen clearly, walked out of the ruins.
"Fellow Taoist, please come with me."
The old man made a "please" gesture.
Lin Yu didn't feel any malice, so he restrained his outward cultivation and went with him.
"Mountain Patroller, you have to go down the mountain."
The two walked towards the ruins, leaving behind the patrolling brother who was messy in the wind.
"I am Lin Yu, Shuangmu Lin, Poppy's Yu. I wonder how you call it, senior?"
"Pindao, the name of the Tao is 'Heyi'."
"Fellow Daoist Lin is only in his early twenties, but he has such a martial arts practice. He is poor in martial arts and has no talent. He has lived for a hundred years and is still far behind."
"Fellow Daoist Lin really does not need to regard himself as a junior. Rather, he is a poor Taoist who relies on the elders, so he and Daoist Friend Lin are on the same level as his peers."
This was the second time that Taoist Master He emphasized her cultivation level. Lin Yu was a little curious, what kind of cultivation level did the other party have?
She couldn't see the fluctuations in Hedao Chang's internal energy or spiritual power.
Is it "Tao follows nature" and "Heaven and man are one"?
Or is it the self-effacement of the Taoist priest?
"I may not believe it, Master He. Actually, I don't understand the division of martial arts cultivation realms. I would like to ask Master He, what realm are you at? What realm am I at?"
Hearing this question, Taoist Master He was obviously stunned.
He did not expect that Lin Yu, who was extremely skilled in martial arts, did not understand the division of realms.
"Pindao is only in the middle stage of the Xiantian realm. I just saw that Fellow Daoist Lin's true energy is very strong, and he seems to have touched the threshold of 'Sword Intent'. His cultivation level should be above that of Pindao."
This is the way to unite the Tao.
He did not ask Lin Yu why she didn't know the differences between realms, but instead patiently explained to her the divisions of martial arts realms.
"A warrior in the Houtian realm opens up the twelve meridians throughout the body, and the internal force in the meridians circulates. When all twelve meridians are opened, it will be the peak of the acquired world."
"A warrior in the Xiantian realm has completely opened up the two meridians of Ren and Du. He can draw the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into his body, strengthen his physical body, and he can also 'see inwards' the whole body. The true energy circulates in the meridians."
"Only those who understand the 'intention' can be regarded as masters and can influence the general trend of the world. This 'intention' can be regarded as 'sword intention', 'sword intention', or 'the intention of all things'."
"A warrior in the subtle realm is a prodigy who has understood a certain 'artistic conception' to a small degree. His martial arts will be better than ordinary masters, but not as good as a great master."
"A great master must understand a certain 'intention' to a great extent, and when he applies 'intention' to his body, he can move mountains and seas. He is almost like an immortal, but not an immortal."
"As for the union of heaven and man, there have only been a few people throughout the ages. Those are all gods-like figures on land. They are beyond human beings and can really be called 'immortals'."
Along the way, Lin Yu listened and watched, occasionally seeing towering rocks, dilapidated rocks, burned buildings, and even clay sculptures of painted gods such as green dragons and white tigers.
Just now, she passed by a gilt bronze statue of the Xuantian Wu God.
From the words of the He Taoist Priest, Lin Yu knew that there were six realms from the Houtian realm to the realm of unity between man and nature, and each great realm was divided into nine levels.
Each three levels is a qualitative change, which the world calls the front, middle and late stages.
The peak period is when one is about to break through to the next level of great realm.
"Since the founding of the Wudang sect, only Zhenren Zhang has reached the realm of 'Heaven and Man'. It is said that there are three great realms above 'Heaven and Man'. Single Wuji, Double Wuji, and in the end, it can even be broken.
Void.”
"But I don't know much about these things."
It turns out that the first path of martial arts and the first path of cultivating immortals have the same realms, with nine major realms.
Acquired, innate, master, subtle, great master, heaven and man are one, single infinite, double infinite, broken void.
He Taoist Master said that according to the Wudang inheritance, Shan Wuji is one of those who can cultivate into the "Ultimate Yang Wuji" or the "Ultimate Yin Wuji".
Double Wuji is to practice both Yin and Yang to the extreme.
Legend has it that if two people who have mastered opposite Wuji take action at the same time, they can work together to shatter the void.
And those who have mastered the Double Wuji can shatter the void with just one person's power.
After breaking the void, you can step into the Immortal Gate.
"These are just legends. The path to immortality is elusive and no one can see it. Martial arts is also on the verge of extinction. There are no more than five innate warriors alive in the world. Let alone the realm after that?"
No one can see the immortal road, and Lin Yu has already made a guess.
Can--
Is martial arts almost extinct?
There are no more than five innate warriors alive?
Lin Yu was shocked.
She also thought that, like what was written in many novels, there were hidden sects and ancient martial arts families in the world.
The spiritual energy is exhausted and the path to immortality is hopeless. At least the martial arts continues in darkness.
Unexpectedly, martial arts was also on the verge of extinction.
The Xiantian realm is only the second level, and there are no more than five of them in this world.
One of them is herself.
Lin Yu suddenly felt a little heavy. If the orthodoxy had declined to this point, the help she could get in the real world might not be very great.
After walking past two pools, one square and one round, you saw another ruined temple, and outside the temple there was a stone tablet engraved with a dragon-shaped pattern.
The sculptures on the stele are still lifelike, as if they are about to fly into the sky, but unfortunately the text on the stele has been blurred.
Taoist Master He led Lin Yu to the relatively intact ancient building at the back, motioned Lin Yu to take a seat, and said with a wry smile: "I have lived here in seclusion for more than seventy years, but from the early stage to the middle stage of the Xiantian realm, it is difficult to advance any further."
"Even if it is recorded in the classics, during the prosperous period of martial arts, there are very few people like Lin Daoyou who reached the late stage of the Xiantian realm or even the peak at the age of 21."
Taoist Master He found a futon, and sat opposite Lin Yu with a distance of more than one meter. He sighed, "What a pity! Fellow Taoist Lin! With your talent, if you had been born a few hundred years earlier, you might have been able to touch the legend."
The state of being.”
"But since a hundred years ago, things seem to have changed in the world, and countless martial arts inheritances have been cut off."
"The remaining sects in the world are just struggling to support themselves. In the past hundred years, only a few people have made breakthroughs in innateness."
From the beginning to the end, Taoist Master He never asked her how she achieved such a level of cultivation.
But in his words, her age and cultivation seemed to be unique.
Therefore, Lin Yu put aside his temporary frustration and wanted to seek confirmation.
"He Daochang, can I watch your move?"
Taoist priest He nodded, pointed toward the left front, and instantly lit the candle placed there.
Even with the light of the candle, Lin Yu still couldn't see Hedaochang's face clearly.
"Friend Dao Lin, there is no need to doubt that Pindao used the secret treasure of Wudang to cover up the secret of heaven, so he can survive to this day. Those who have not entered the realm of heaven and human beings cannot see clearly the external appearance of Pindao."
Lin Yu nodded and said calmly: "That's it. Taoist Master He used the secret treasure to restrain all his breath. If you don't take action, I'm afraid no one will be able to detect your cultivation."
Just as soon as Daochang Kehe made a move, Lin Yu remembered the characteristics of his Qi.
Long and endless, like a breeze or like ocean waves.
Taoist Master He judged from the aura that Lin Yu had previously released that Lin Yu had reached the late Xiantian stage, or even reached its peak.
Now feeling the strength of He Daochang's true energy, Lin Yu understood that what the other party said was true.
Lin Yu's true energy intensity is indeed much higher than that of He Daochang, and Lin Yu has touched the "Sword Intent", which is indeed the late or peak innate cultivation level.
He Taoist priest selflessly solved the problem, and Lin Yu was grateful to him.
From what he said, it seemed that his life was short, and Lin Yu was also a little worried.
"As a Taoist leader, I wonder how I can extend your life?"
Taoist Master He shook his head, as if accepting his fate, and said: "Unless you break through to the realm of a master, your life span cannot be extended. If there is no secret treasure of Wudang, the poor Taoist should have gone to the west long ago."
For a while, the atmosphere became a little solid.
Taoist Master He broke the silence, with a smile in his tone, "Fellow Daoist Lin came to Wudang Mountain and you don't know why?"
Although the other party does not have the kindness to teach, he has the feeling of solving doubts.
Lin Yu originally wanted to take a look at the Wudang classics, but now he was too embarrassed to speak.
"Fellow Taoist Lin, I just said it's okay. I don't want to hide anything from you. I also have something to ask for."
"Please tell me."
As soon as he heard what Hedao Chang said, Lin Yu understood that there was a way to read the classics.
"Wudang is responsible for saving the world. But except for Pindao, the strongest members of the Wudang sect are currently in the late Houtian realm. It is difficult to protect oneself, and it is even more difficult for him to be responsible for saving the world."
"As a member of the Wudang sect, Pindao naturally hopes that the Wudang sect can be passed down. Just now I told fellow Taoist Lin that there are no more than five innate warriors alive in the world. Among them, there are enemies of Wudang."
"If I die, I'm afraid that person will come to destroy our Wudang Taoist tradition. When the time comes, I hope fellow Taoist Lin will come to my rescue!"
After saying this, Taoist Master He bowed down and worshiped.
Lin Yu quickly stood up and helped him up.
"Come on, Master Hehe, please get up! I promise you that in my lifetime, the Wudang Taoist lineage will not be cut off."
After hearing Lin Yu's promise, Taoist Master He finally solved a problem that kept him awake day and night.
At that moment, Lin Yu felt that He Daochang seemed to be lighter.
"In this way, even if I die, I can rest in peace."
Master He was almost in tears. After a while, he said: "Fellow Daoist Lin, you can tell your purpose now. Even if it means Pindao's life, Pindao can give it to you."
Lin Yu couldn't laugh or cry, "Why should I kill you?"
"As you said, I seem to have touched the threshold of 'Sword Intent'. But I have never been able to cross this hurdle."
She sighed and continued: "There seems to be a fog in front of me. It's not thick, but I can't see clearly what's behind the fog no matter what."
"I was looking for a way, but couldn't find it, so I thought of Wudang."
"My prototype of 'Sword Intent' has some similarities with Wudang's 'Tai Chi'. However, the materials I can find are too crude and of little help to me."
"I hope that I can take a look at Wudang's classics and find a way to break through. I hope Taoist Master He will agree!"
After finishing speaking, Lin Yu also wanted to bow to Taoist Master He, but he stopped him in time.
"Hahaha... What do you think this is so difficult for a poor Taoist? It's just a look at our sect's classics, so why is it so difficult to speak?"
