On the road to spiritual practice, every major step is a high threshold, blocking most people out of the threshold. Only a small number of people with a combination of qualifications, diligence and luck can cross it. But there is still a way to cross it.
Along the way, the threshold is getting higher and higher. When you reach the realm of becoming a god, it is no longer a threshold, but a chasm.
There are tens of thousands of monks in Yunmengze, but there are only a few transformed gods, which shows how insurmountable this chasm is.
Take the Wenshi Sect, for example, as a large sect that has been passed down for a long time. There are dozens of Yuanying monks in total. The sect provides these people with abundant training resources. However, since there has been no Taizun more than two thousand years ago,
After that, no one in the past two thousand years could break through to the state of becoming a god.
Liu Qinghuan himself didn't have much confidence, so he didn't understand why Kong Wu was so optimistic about him.
In the end, Kong Wu did not give any reason. The conversation suddenly changed and he said: "Dayan sent back a cross-border talisman a few days ago."
Liu Qinghuan let out a cry of surprise and put the thought of questioning behind him.
"Is there any news about Grand Master Dayan? What does the letter say?"
"He has already left for Wanhu Realm. When he gets there, he will contact fellow Taoist Zhenji of the Shaoyang Sect, and the two of them will work together to follow up on his return."
Liu Qinghuan felt more at ease. With Grand Master Dayan watching over him, he didn't have to worry too much about the progress of things outside even if he was practicing in seclusion.
He thought for a moment: "Then, after the heaven is sealed tomorrow, the disciple will prepare to go back to retreat. By the way, there is one more thing that I have to ask for grace from the Supreme Master. I have previously reported back the information about the ancient beast clan of the Yin Yue Blood Realm.
thing……"
He told the story of the causes and consequences, as well as the current situation of the Ancient Orcs. The two of them talked in a low voice while entering the Wenshi faction's station in the Eagle's Nest City.
"This time I brought back dozens of ancient beast tribesmen and considered several places that are more suitable for their tribe to live. Which one do you want to show them?"
Kong waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's just a small clan. From now on, as long as we stay on our own terms and provide some protection, it's okay. As for related matters, it's up to you."
After respectfully seeing off Grand Master Kongwu, Liu Qinghuan also returned to the courtyard where his masters and disciples usually lived.
Mingyangzi had left earlier than them and had returned. When he saw Liu Qinghuan, he called him over to talk.
"Master, how do you feel?"
Mingyangzi said: "Okay, very good! Your longevity pill is extremely effective. It will not be a problem to live for another three to four hundred years as a master."
Liu Qinghuan hesitated for a moment and said hesitantly: "Then...have you made any breakthrough in your cultivation?"
"Huh?" Ming Yangzi looked at him carefully for a moment and said, "Do you want to ask me if I have touched the threshold of becoming a god?"
Liu Qinghuan nodded quickly, while Ming Yangzi shook his head and simply said: "No." In exchange, he sighed in disappointment.
Mingyangzi couldn't help but smile and said calmly: "My master's cultivation has been stagnant in this realm for a long time. If I was still a little unwilling before, I also tried to merge with the Tao realm, but failed without exception. But after the last time
After the incident, this unwillingness gradually dissipated. Whether I give up or accept my fate, I will probably stay in the late Nascent Soul stage until my life span is exhausted."
Liu Qinghuan felt as if there was a stone in his chest. The cruelest thing about being a monk was that he could no longer improve his cultivation, but Ming Yangzi said it very calmly.
"Master..."
Mingyangzi patted him gently and pulled him to sit under the flower tree in the courtyard: "Manpower is sometimes poor, and the way of heaven has its own rules, so there is no need to be sad, as long as you try your best, you will have no regrets. Just like your senior brother
, I finally gave birth to a baby, but since then it has stopped at the early stage and has never been closer. The same goes for your second senior brother. Over the years, your cultivation has gradually stagnated, and you cannot force yourself on the road to immortality."
He looked at Liu Qinghuan with relief: "As the youngest disciple, you have made great progress all the way, and now your cultivation has caught up with my master, not bad!"
Mingyangzi's face glowed red, and she could not help but reveal a bit of pride, showing that she was truly happy for Liu Qinghuan.
"I have not achieved much in my life. The only thing worthy of praise is that I have three good disciples. So you must continue to work hard and strive to become a god as soon as possible so that your master can be more famous in front of other fellow Taoists, hahaha!"
Liu Qinghuan couldn't help but feel speechless at his master's occasional naughty nature. After the other party had laughed enough, he asked with some worry: "Master, is it really that difficult to merge with the Tao realm?"
"It's hard!" Ming Yangzi slapped his thigh and said passionately: "It's so damn hard!"
Master and disciple rarely had free time, so they sat under the tree and exchanged their cultivation experiences. Perhaps in front of other people, Liu Qinghuan had to maintain his posture and dignity, but in front of his master, he could completely relax and talk all night long.
The sealing of the sky on the second day was uneventful. This time, Supreme Master Kongwu sacrificed the sealing elixir. The whole process went very smoothly.
The last time Qianye Mountain closed the space passage, Liu Qinghuan was fighting with Feng Shiqida, so he didn't see the final stage of Sealing Heaven. This time he finally watched the whole process.
The beautiful liquid formed by melting the Sealing Pill Talisman filled the cracks in the entire space. In the sound of "dong, dong, dong" like a heartbeat, it gradually turned into a clear and transparent azure color, getting lighter and lighter, until
It blends completely into the surrounding sky.
The sudden cheers echoed throughout Qushang Swamp, and all Yunmengze monks were clapping their hands to celebrate. This glorious scene will eventually be engraved in the annals of history and passed down through the ages.
However, Yunzheng and Jingjue did not come this time. It is said that the refining of the third Heaven-Sealing Pill Talisman encountered some obstacles, so a few of them stayed in Ziwei Sword Pavilion.
After sealing the sky, the Immortal Cultivation Alliance also began to prepare the next plan. It will send an army to the Sao Feng Continent to help it resist the invasion of the Yin Yue Blood Realm. The debate about the Wanhu Realm is still going on. Those who finally gathered together
The sects and aristocratic families in the same group quarrel every day behind closed doors.
The monks who came to watch Feng Tian gradually dispersed. Liu Qinghuan also left the Eagle's Nest City with the flow of people and returned to the Wenshi Sect. The ancient beast tribe members who had been imprisoned for more than ten days were finally released.
He stood on the steps, flanked by the three spiritual beasts of Ying Niang, Jiang Nianen and Yan Rou who had finally returned to the sect. He smiled kindly and said: "The place you are now is a guest peak of our Wenshi sect.
Don’t be afraid, from today on, you are also considered a member of the Wenshi Sect.”
The ancient beast tribesmen stood together, obviously feeling a little uneasy, and couldn't help but look around curiously. When they saw the nine huge peaks towering into the clouds in the distance, they even let out exclamations one after another.
"Wow! Look over there, there are so many cranes flying, it looks like a fairyland."
"I just saw a group of jade white deer running across the mountains!"
"It turns out this is the Wenshi sect. The spiritual energy is so strong..."
Several disciples happened to be passing by, and they stopped curiously to look at these people in obviously different attires, but they didn't dare to get close because Liu Qinghuan was here.
Bi Shen put away his shocked expression, shouted a few times to his tribesmen, tightened his discipline before walking forward: "Fellow Daoist Liu, we will live in..."
Liu Qinghuan raised her hand and gave him a calm look: "You guys stay in the sect for a few days to take a break and get familiar with the environment. Nian'en, Xiaorou, Xiao..."
Xiao Hei looked at him resentfully and muttered in a low voice: "Master, call me Liu Xuan..."
"Ahem!" Liu Qinghuan glanced at him, pointed at Jiang Nian'en and Yan Rou and said to the ancient beast tribe: "These are my two apprentices. You all should get to know each other. They and... Liu Xuan will entertain them these days."
You can usually follow them around the sect. Nowadays, many of you don't know the language of Yunmengze, but since you will live in this land in the future, it is better to try your best to learn it. Bi Shen, what do you think?
?”
Bi Shen suppressed his anxiety and nodded: "Well, listen to Fellow Daoist Liu."
Liu Qinghuan smiled and took out a map: "As for your future residence, I have selected a few suitable places for you. You can bring a few tribesmen in to discuss it together."
Bi Shen breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and called a few names, and asked the tribesmen to wait where they were before entering a tall hall at the back with Liu Qinghuan.
Liu Qinghuan chose three places in total. One was in the Wenshi Mountains of Donghua Prefecture. It was not far from the sect. It was a valley surrounded by lush forests and rich spiritual energy, so there were many spiritual beasts. In addition, it was in Wenshi Mountains.
Within the scope of Shipai, outsiders will basically not come close, so there is no risk.
The second one is in the south, close to the deep mountains and jungles of Nanman State, but there are also many snakes, insects, rats, and ants. That place once belonged to a small family affiliated with the Wenshi sect, but this family suffered heavy losses in this feudal war.
The high-level monks were all killed in the battle, and the remaining clan members were only at the eighth level of Qi training. The rest were mortals and could no longer keep their clan territory.
"If you choose this place, I will have the remaining members of this family move to the vicinity of the sect and provide certain compensation."
"This..." Bi Shen said hesitantly: "As soon as we come here, we will seize their clan land. Isn't this not good?"
Liu Qing said with a smile: "No problem, with their current family strength, it is impossible to survive in that place with many monsters, not to mention that they can also get compensation from the children of the clan who relax the conditions to enter the sect. There is no unwillingness.
."
"I see." Bi Shen stared at the map and asked, "What about the third place?"
Liu Qinghuan lowered his head, moved his finger eastward on the map, crossed the vast sea, and clicked on it.
"This is the Eastern Wasteland, the Suolong Mountains. The terrain is extremely steep and the environment is harsh. But the advantage is that it is inaccessible to people and is also a place with many spiritual beasts and monsters."
Bi Shen's eyes lit up and he looked focused.
Liu Qinghuan continued: "In addition, our sect has a large spiritual stone vein here, so the spiritual energy here is much richer than the second place, which is also very beneficial to your cultivation. But if you choose this place, you must act accordingly.
The earth assumes part of the responsibility of guarding the spiritual veins. Now the defensive power there is seriously insufficient and manpower is urgently needed. Of course, you are not entering the spiritual veins to defend, but in the outer area."
Bi Shen fell into deep thought, and Liu Qinghuan did not rush him. He was very curious about what the other party would choose.
