324, Arriving at Cangyun Continent and breaking through the Yuanshen Realm
Nowadays, Nanyanzhou Yuanshen no longer exists, and Nascent Soul Dao Lord has fallen. So Xu Xing went to Demon Island. There was no need to be vigilant on the way. He fled with all his strength. It only took two days to reach Demon Island.
nearby sea areas.
"In just a few decades, the once prosperous Yaodao and Wushanfang City are now only a few ruins."
Xu Xing came to Wushanfang City, looked at the shop with the "Tiande Pawnshop" sign, and shook his head.
When he walked into the pawn shop, the snake demon Xiaoxiao was no longer there, and the shop was empty.
He looked around again and found that the beams, paintings, and some spiritual materials used in construction in the pawn shop had all been stripped away by the later low-level monks, leaving only some ordinary materials without spiritual energy.
In the final battle of Emperor Zi Pavilion, where the Alchemy Cauldron Sect and the Yao Island Demon Clan were massacred, he did not participate, but went to another battlefield.
"During this turmoil in the world of immortality, Lingyin Sect survived. It seems that the Taoist Lord in its sect is also a member of the Emperor's Pavilion..."
Xu Xing glanced at the empty "Lingyin Artifact Shop" next door and thought.
The recruitment of monks by Emperor Zi Pavilion is based on the same idea as the Butian Sect, which mainly focuses on monks from small and medium-sized sects to gather power, and then subverts large forces, that is, Yuanshen-level sects.
"Pity……"
Then, Xu Xing took another look at the shop rented by Fairy Caiyun and sighed.
Fairy Caiyun asked him to renew the lease for another hundred years. However, before the hundred years passed, the Danding Sect ceased to exist, and such catastrophes occurred in the world of immortality.
If nothing unexpected happens, Fairy Caiyun should be buried in the long history of Nanyan Continent just like the Danding Sect.
"The road to immortality will last forever..."
Xu Xing took out a bottle of spiritual wine from his storage bag and poured it on the ground three times to pay homage to the dead Fairy Caiyun.
At first, he thought about reminding Fairy Caiyun to escape, but later gave up the idea.
First, he did not have a deep relationship with Fairy Caiyun. After renting the shop at a low price for a hundred years, the two had already settled their grudges.
This is a tacit understanding between the two.
Between the two, Fairy Caiyun is too involved with the Danding Sect. If he tells Fairy Caiyun to escape with empty words, either Fairy Caiyun will not believe it and the result will be the same as now, or Fairy Caiyun will believe it and then expose his existence and the influence of Dizi Pavilion.
of involvement.
It is very likely that Fairy Caiyun will inform the Danding Sect, and then the Yuanshen monks from the Danding Sect and the Yao Clan will target him and find out the information about the Emperor Pavilion from him.
After all, in terms of deep relationship, Fairy Caiyun would favor her own sect over him, a stranger.
After pouring the spirit wine, Xu Xing sat on a stone chair in the backyard of the pawn shop for half a day. After seeing the golden crow hanging down, he got up and left.
There are many names for the realm of Yuanshen. In ancient times, it was called "Refining God", while in modern times, it is called "Yuan Shen". In addition to these two names, there is also another name for "Transforming God".
Transformation into gods refers to the monk's strength and state of mind, which have reached the level of gods in ancient books.
So--
It is conceivable that if you want to break through the realm of Yuanshen, it is inevitable to have a clear and clear state of mind.
Li Taiyue of Tianyi Sect cultivated all the way and constantly used other monks as imaginary enemies to create an "invincible state of mind".
This is the first step in "transforming into a god".
In terms of state of mind, it reaches the level of gods.
Although this kind of state of mind is the way to go, if you are provoked by a powerful enemy, your invincible state of mind will collapse and it will be difficult to make progress.
However, unlike Li Taiyue, although Xu Xing's practice time is not long on the surface, his practice time secretly is already comparable to that of the old monster Yuanshen.
There are tens of thousands of years of accumulation.
With such a "long-term view", without a strong state of mind, it is easy to become obsessed.
It just so happened that Xu Xing had already realized the "great freedom" state of mind when he first entered the Nascent Soul Realm.
Taking the first step towards becoming a god.
Compared with the shortcomings of Li Taiyue's "invincible" state of mind, Xu Xing's "great freedom" state of mind is the result of his own experience and transformation. Even after thousands of years, he still retains his true nature.
Xu Xing went to Wushanfang City, not only to see his old friends, but also to see his old feelings.
During the decades when the Dizi Pavilion massacred the Nanyanzhou monks, Xu Xing's hands were stained with the blood of many innocent monks.
Even though he already looked at it indifferently.
However, this was contrary to his state of mind and caused his state of mind to become dusty.
"I have a bright pearl, which has been locked up by the dust for a long time. Now the dust is gone and the light is born, shining through thousands of green mountains."
Xu Xing walked out of the shop, used his finger as a knife, and used the Dahuangting sword energy to carve this poem on the wall.
After a few breaths.
Wushanfang City was missing the figure of a green-robed scholar and fell into loneliness again.
As the sun sets, it fades into darkness.
…
…
A few days later.
The waters near Demon Island.
With the efforts of Xu Xing, Ao Yuniang, and Dilong, they finally found the dragon's cave buried deep under the sea.
In the deep sea, the earth dragon groaned softly and stretched its body. After a moment, the young dragon that was about ten feet long turned into a giant dragon that was dozens of feet long.
It glanced at Xu Xing, hesitated for a moment, opened its big mouth, and swallowed Xu Xing into its belly. Then it swung its tail and got into the dragon's lair by borrowing the magical power of the dragon swimming in the sea.
One day.
Two days.
A month passed in a flash.
Xu Xing closed his eyes tightly and sat cross-legged in the belly of the dragon, as if he had sunk into deep water.
In fact, Xu Xing left a spirit beast mark in the earth dragon's sea of consciousness, and he could use the spirit beast mark to observe everything the earth dragons around him experienced in the dragon's lair.
Even to the extreme.
He can use the spirit beast seal to forcibly control the earth dragon's body, just like Master Jiuling letting the nine-headed lion die.
Under Xu Xing's gaze, the earth dragon sometimes broke through the waves, sometimes drilled into the seafloor crust, and bathed the dragon's body with magma.
"Dragons can swim in the deep sea, and they can also swim in molten magma. In other words, the dragon's way and the tiger's way should not be separated..."
"The Tao of Dragon and Tiger is the Tao of Dragon, but the dragon has the appearance of the tiger..."
Xu Xing observed the movements of the young dragon, Earth Dragon, and finally realized the essence of the dragon and tiger principles, and continued to understand the mystery of it.
"That's right! The Dragon-Tiger Dao is subordinate to the Yin-Yang Dao. Dragon is Yang and Yin is Tiger. But in reality, only when dragon and tiger complement each other can there be a true dragon birth!"
"The five elements of a true dragon are one, and the yin and yang are round..."
Xu Xing began a new round of enlightenment.
I don’t know what year or day it was.
Just when the young earth dragon emerged from the boundless sea water, the mark of a golden dragon was born in Xu Xing's sea of consciousness.
This little golden dragon is the same size as the black flame mark on the side, but the difference is that this little golden dragon sometimes turns into a white tiger, and sometimes turns into a seal, shining brightly in the sea of consciousness, emitting thousands of rays of light.
"Enlightened!"
"This is the Law of Dragon and Tiger!"
Xu Xing looked happy.
The Dragon and Tiger Tao has thousands of forms. He doesn’t know what other people’s understanding of the Dragon and Tiger Tao is, but the Dragon and Tiger Tao that he understands is definitely the most suitable for him.
"Fellow Daoist Xu, Earth Dragon has gone out to sea and arrived at another continent."
At this time, Ao Yuniang floated out from the scroll in Xu Xing's sleeve and said to Xu Xing.
She was at the helm of Earth Dragon's actions along the way. Otherwise, the young dragon's mind was unstable and if he was greedy for fun, it would delay important events.
But after Ao Yuniang finished speaking, she saw something was a little bit wrong in Xu Xing's aura. After thinking about it for a moment, she said happily to Xu Xingdao.
"Congratulations to Fellow Daoist Xu for having another enlightenment. He is not far away from becoming the Great Dao."
She knew that Xu Xing, in addition to the Golden Crow Immortal body, also had the body of a human king and mastered the laws of dragon and tiger.
At this moment, after Xu Xing experienced the young earth dragon swimming in the sea, he observed the real "true dragon". With his qualifications, it is normal for him to have such a breakthrough.
"Fellow Daoist Ao was so complimentary. I just figured out some truth."
Xu Xing calmed down, shook his head and smiled.
"Since the Taoist Principles of the Dragon and Tiger... Xu Daoyou has clearly understood it, it seems that the day when Taoist Master will master the Taoist Principles of the Great Sun is not far away."
Ao Yuniang smiled lightly.
After Xu Xing's promise, the more Xu Xing improves his cultivation, the happier she becomes.
"The Dao of the Great Sun is on the same level as the Dao of Yin and Yang, and also belongs to the Dao of Yin and Yang. The Dao of the Dragon is also righteous and positive. It is not difficult to use the Dao of the Dragon to give birth to the Dao of the Great Sun.
…”
She reminded Xu Xingdao.
Compared with Xu Xing, a "casual cultivator", she was born in Yuanhai Dragon Palace and has a wider range of knowledge.
"If he can control the Dao of the Great Sun before breaking through to the Yuan Shen realm, then Xu will also be qualified to be respected in the Yuan Shen realm."
Xu Xing smiled.
In the world of immortal cultivation, Yuanying monks before breaking through to the realm of Yuanshen mostly mastered the Taoist principles such as the Dragon and Tiger Taoism. They did not have the strength or physique to control the Taoism of Yin and Yang and space.
The Tao Principles, the Tao Principles of Time, and other origin-level Tao Principles.
However--
Some monks are exceptions.
For example, at this moment, Xu Xing has the Golden Crow Immortal Body by his side. In the Nascent Soul Realm, it is not difficult at all to carry the principles of the Great Sun.
"But Fellow Daoist Xu, there is no need to force it. Although it is a good thing to master the Great Sun Dao in the Yuanying realm, the benefits are limited. It is not too late to master it after reaching the Yuanshen realm..."
"There is no need to neglect your own breakthroughs just to wait to master the principles of the Great Sun."
"In the world of immortal cultivation, he is number one in cultivation and strength."
Ao Yuniang reminded her again.
Regarding this.
Xu Xingzi had no objection.
As the saying goes, stand tall and see far.
Some mysterious magical powers that are difficult for Dao Dan realm monks to understand clearly are nothing to Nascent Soul realm monks.
Then, when you reach the Yuanshen Realm, some of the Tao principles in the Yuanying Realm that cannot be understood clearly are also the same for the Yuanshen Realm monks.
"First, let's explore the world of immortal cultivation in this foreign continent to see if there are Yuanshen realm forces and cave heavens..."
Xu Xing changed the topic.
Ao Yuniang nodded slightly, and her remaining soul reentered the scroll and was put into Xu Xing's sleeve.
Then, Earth Dragon opened his mouth, Xu Xing flicked his sleeves and robe, and walked out.
One person and one dragon ride the wind and waves.
Follow the spiritual veins and find the place where spiritual energy flourishes.
A few days later.
Xu Xing released his spiritual consciousness and saw a continent hundreds of miles away.
At this time, he opened his Dharma Eyes and looked towards Lu Zhou, and found that there were Xianji Xiaoxiu with weak aura unloading goods at the port.
"First, as a Dao Dan monk, let's get in touch with the monks and sects in this continent."
Xu Xing secretly.
He performed a magic trick, and instantly his cultivation level dropped from the Yuan Ying realm to the Dao Dan realm.
As for the human skin mask of Emperor Zi Pavilion, he did not wear it.
He has no enemies in this continent, so there is no need to remain anonymous.
In addition, although the human skin mask of Emperor Zi Pavilion can hide it from Yuanying monks, it cannot hide it from some Yuansheng Shengjun with powerful spiritual consciousness.
This has been confirmed in the battle of Emperor Zi Pavilion.
"Xu Mou has been practicing in seclusion in the mountains for a long time. Under the orders of his master, he went down the mountain for a long trip... I wonder which sect controls this area?"
After putting the earth dragon into the spirit beast bag, Xu Xing stepped on the light and came to Xian Ji Xiaoxiu who was unloading goods at the port. He bowed his hands and asked.
"this……"
"This senior..."
Xianji Xiaoxiu was startled when he saw Xu Xing appearing in front of him like a ghost.
Then, he sensed Xu Xing's aura and was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak.
"Xu just asked a few questions, Taoist friends don't need to be alarmed."
Xu Xing smiled slightly, turned his palm over, and found an extra spirit bead.
A spirit bead is worth tens of thousands of spirit shells.
Xianji Xiaoxiu's eyes instantly shone, and he began to introduce the sects in this area eloquently.
Under Xu Xing's side attack, Xianji Xiaoxiu didn't have any precautions and told the name of the continent under his feet and its approximate power.
It turns out that the earth dragon set out from the Dragon Cave of Nanyan Continent and arrived at the continent called Cangyun Continent.
However, unlike Nanyan Continent, the world of immortal cultivation in Cangyun Continent seems to have encountered a catastrophe. Many of the old sects have closed their doors and closed their doors, no longer involved in the world.
"It sounds somewhat similar to the way things are done at the Emperor's Pavilion..."
Xu Xing frowned slightly.
He suspected that he had come to a continent that had been harvested by the Chiming Dynasty.
"But this is my chance."
"The Immortal Cultivation World of Cangyun Continent was massacred. Unless it grows to a certain level, the Chiming World will no longer set its sights on this place."
Xu Xing was secretly happy.
With the protection of the Six Immortals [Emperor of the Sun], his path to immortality has been so smooth.
"You have hidden spiritual roots. If you practice well, you will become famous in the immortal world in the future."
After Xianji Xiaoxiu finished speaking, Xu Xing smiled slightly, clasped the spirit bead in Xianji Xiaoxiu's hand, waved his sleeves and left from the port.
Ten thousand spirit shells, for Xianji Xiaoxiu, can be considered as a wealth that can be carried.
Even if someone is jealous, they will not take risks and kill people.
…
…
Time flies.
It has been five years since I left Nanyanzhou.
After arriving at Cangyun Continent, Xu Xing secretly visited several recorded Taoist sects in the world of immortal cultivation in Cangyun Continent and found that, as he had guessed, there were very few high-level monks among these Taoist sects.
Later, he secretly sneaked into a Taoist sect named "Baiyun Sect", borrowed the Dizi Pavilion human skin mask, and impersonated the sect's third elder "Lanyang".
"If there is no accident, the Yuanshen Lord of Baiyun Sect is dead. In the past few days since I entered the sect, no Yuanshen monk has found any trace of me."
Walking in the corridor of the inner gate of Baiyun Sect, Xu Xing glanced at the inner disciples coming and going and thought to himself.
When he was in the early stage of Yuanying, he had the strength to fight against Chi Yuan, the Holy Lord of Yuan Ying.
Now that he has reached the realm of Yuanying Dzogchen and has mastered the Yin Fire Principles and the Dragon and Tiger Principles, it is not difficult to deal with a Yuanshen monk from Baiyun Sect.
"That being the case, then applying directly to Baiyun Sect for retreat is..."
"Even if the sect has suspicions, they don't dare to risk offending me and act haphazardly."
"Furthermore, after entering the cave, I will also be protected by a fourth-level formation."
