"It's better to gather your soul and regain your consciousness first."
There is no time in the world of nothingness, but as Excalibur Laoer said, time is in the heart.
It took about six days for Zhang Ruochen's soul to condense a lot. Although his body was still unable to move, he was able to release the divine sword Lao Liu.
"Wow!"
The Divine Sword Lao Liu split the barrier between the void world and the real world with one sword. Suddenly, the rules of heaven and earth and a faint aura of the real world poured in.
Divine Sword Lao Liu took Zhang Ruochen's body back to the real world, and the space cracks next to it healed.
Divine Sword Lao Liu was suspended above Zhang Ruochen's body and sighed: "The situation is not good. Even with the Buddha's relics protecting your body, your body is about to become translucent, and only your bones have not been corroded."
Zhang Ruochen slowly opened his eyes, looked into the endless darkness, remained silent for a long time, and said: "The trauma suffered by the body, soul, and mental power is not a big deal, and can always be recovered. But... alas..."
Without further ado, Zhang Ruochen continued to absorb the thin spiritual energy between heaven and earth and continued to condense his soul.
This place is obviously still in the dark triangle star field, and it has penetrated into an unknown place. Not to mention the divine energy and holy energy of heaven and earth, even the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is extremely thin, and it is simply a desolate void.
But, after all, it is better than the world of nothingness.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhang Ruochen was finally able to move his body. He took out the Seven-Star Imperial Palace, took out various elixirs from it, and continued to recuperate.
It took three months for Zhang Ruochen's soul to regroup and his body to solidify.
However, all this is superficial. The trauma to the soul and the weakness of the body cannot be recovered in a short time.
Taking out "The Picture of the Sixth Patriarch's Interpretation of Zen" from the mysterious womb, Zhang Ruochen entered the picture scroll and came to the foot of the bodhi tree.
Kong Lanyou and Kong Xuan were both practicing under the tree. When they saw Zhang Ruochen's face was pale and his body was weak, they were frightened and rushed towards him.
"What happened? Why was it hurt so badly?"
Kong Lanyou's eyes were full of concern, and he was worried in his heart, wanting to help Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen stopped her and said with a smile: "The worst situation is over, don't worry, your cousin and I are a great master now, this injury is not fatal. Kong Xuan, go to the bottom of the god tree and get me some more
Come to the fountain of life."
Under the bodhi tree, Zhang Ruochen found some Yuanhui-level healing elixir, then turned on the sundial, sat cross-legged on the mirror stand, and quickly entered a meditative state.
To recuperate the soul and mental strength, obviously the bodhi tree and the mirror stand can be of great help.
The following days were spent in healing. Gradually, Zhang Ruochen's soul completely recovered, his mental power and thoughts reunited, and even his physical body was healed by various Yuanhui holy medicines and the fountain of life, and his blood became strong again.
.
Although this time was a catastrophe, Zhang Ruochen was pleasantly surprised to find that he had completely refined the mental power elixir he had swallowed before, and his mental power strength was a blessing in disguise, reaching level seventy-seven.
This is also the result of twenty years of practice under the sundial.
However, after staying in nothingness for too long, even the power of the Buddha's relics has been lost, and the physical body is no longer as strong as before.
Kong Lanyou walked over, but was suppressed by the powerful divine power emanating from Zhang Ruochen and could not get closer. He could only stand far away, feeling a faint feeling of loss in his heart.
Although he has re-condensed his immortal body and reached the realm of the Great Sage again, and his cultivation qualifications are considered outstanding, but compared with the top geniuses in the universe, they are far behind.
It is even more incomparable to my cousin.
From now on, one is destined to live in the sky and the other to live in the world.
Zhang Ruochen put away his power, walked down from the mirror stage, and called out: "Lan You."
Kong Lanyou woke up from his thoughts and said with a smile: "Congratulations to my cousin for recovering from his injury and taking his cultivation to a higher level."
Zhang Ruochen couldn't tell what she was thinking, so he walked up to her and said, "That's right, martial arts has reached the realm of demigods."
Kong Lanyou smiled bitterly: "This was all made possible by the power of the Mirror Stand and the Bodhi Tree, as well as the countless Yuanhui Holy Medicine here. It was the work of the Sixth Patriarch!"
"Don't belittle yourself. Back then, the rules of heaven and earth in the Kunlun Realm were incomplete and the holy energy was thin. You were able to reach that level. Your own qualifications and tenacity of mind are beyond the reach of others." Zhang Ruochen said.
Kong Lanyou said: "If you can practice a few more times between life and death, maybe you can reach a higher level. Otherwise, even if you become a god, you will be able to reach the upper gods in the future! Besides, crossing the divine tribulation...
A narrow escape from death..."
Zhang Ruochen had originally intended to let Kong Lanyou go to the starry sky battlefield for training, but many things happened later, especially in Xinghuantian, which aroused public outrage.
If Kong Lanyou goes to the starry sky battlefield, he will be targeted.
That's not going to experience, it's going to die.
Zhang Ruochen said: "There are thousands of avenues in the world, but it doesn't necessarily have to be martial arts. I see that your mental power has improved very quickly, and you are now at the sixty-ninth level!"
Kong Lanyou, who has white hair as white as snow and is endearing, said: "Actually, it was only thanks to the special environment here that we were able to reach such a state."
"The Mirror Terrace is made of the 83,990 relics of the Sixth Patriarch. It not only makes the surrounding world a Buddhist realm, but also allows people to calm down and concentrate."
"The Bodhi tree is an otherworldly wise man. Once I enter a state of emptiness, I will whisper and preach, just like the Sixth Patriarch was alive and preaching to me. The Bodhi light rain that falls from the tree every day can further refine my spiritual power.
and soul.”
"In such an environment, let alone me, even a mortal can quickly transform into a spiritually powerful person."
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said with a smile: "Why do you look down on yourself so much? If you didn't have a high enough understanding of the way of spiritual power, how could you hear the Bodhi Tree preaching? There is a bottleneck in spiritual power, and it cannot be achieved by relying only on the external environment.
When it comes to promotion, the most important thing is the monk himself."
How could Kong Lanyou not feel inferior?
Even the cultivation level of an old scalper raised by Zhang Ruochen surpassed hers.
Not to mention Chi Yao and Zhang Ruochen, who have now gone further and further into the realm of gods.
Kong Lanyou looked thoughtful, apparently persuaded by Zhang Ruochen to abandon martial arts and focus on spiritual power, which might open up a new situation.
The cultivation of spiritual power is quite different from the cultivation of martial arts.
To practice martial arts, one must move forward bravely, temper one's body, temper one's state of mind, comprehend the world, cultivate magical powers, and refine one's soul. In every realm, one has to compete, compete with heaven, compete with others, and compete with oneself.
But spiritual cultivation actually pays more attention to accumulation and perception.
Just like Confucian and Taoist monks, if you enter Taoism through painting, you only need to improve step by step in painting, and you can break through the bottlenecks in your mental power.
In fact, all spiritual monks need to refine a path, use this path as a sword, move forward step by step, and attack the greatest supreme realm.
Some use paintings as swords, some use formations as swords, and some use alchemy as swords...
Zhang Ruochen told Kong Lanyou some of his insights into spiritual power.
Kong Lanyou asked: "My cousin can have the current mental strength, what can he use as a sword?"
Zhang Ruochen thought for a while and said: "All the laws in the world can be my sword to break through the realm."
Kong Lanyou was originally very serious and really cared about it, looking forward to being able to catch up with Zhang Ruochen and Chi Yao with his mental power in the future, but Zhang Ruochen's words made him laugh.
Zhang Ruochen said that deliberately because he saw that she had become more and more inferior and depressed over the years. Seeing her smile, he couldn't help but feel much more relaxed.
"You should realize it again and think carefully about which path you should take if you want to cultivate your spiritual power. I'll go out and take a look first."
Zhang Ruochen suddenly thought of something and said: "Don't be influenced by the Sixth Patriarch and practice Buddhism."
"What if you practice Buddhism and escape into Buddhism?" Kong Lanyou asked.
"Those who practice Buddhism should cut off all ties to the world and cut off emotions. From now on, you will no longer be my cousin! Master Lan You!"
When Zhang Ruochen heard these words, he had already walked out of "The Picture of the Sixth Patriarch's Interpretation of Zen" and entered the dark, cold, and empty void, and the smile on his face disappeared.
Zhang Ruochen closed his eyes and released his mental power, spreading it outwards and exploring thousands of miles away.
Nothing was found.
Immediately afterwards, he sensed the profound meaning of truth with his heart of truth.
Even if he is lost in the Dark Triangle Star Territory, Shang Hong certainly is not. As long as he finds Shang Hong, he can find a way out of the Dark Triangle Star Territory.
However, I can't feel any fluctuations.
"Is it that far away already?"
Zhang Ruochen frowned, and an invisible sense of fear emerged in his heart unconsciously, as if the entire universe had been destroyed and he was the only one left in the world.
That kind of loneliness and emptiness makes people shudder.
Zhang Ruochen was unwilling to give in, and took out the sword seal again, held it in his hand, and felt it carefully.
After a while, he sighed and put away the sword seal.
"Now we're in big trouble!" Zhang Ruochen sighed.
Back in the picture, Zhang Ruochen told Kong Lanyou about the current situation.
For some reason, Kong Lanyou was not nervous at all, but instead there was a bright color in his eyes.
However, she soon emptied her heart of the inexplicable joy, because she knew that her cousin would never be willing to spend the rest of his life in the world of picture scrolls.
He came to the Dark Triangle Star Territory because he had big things to do.
If her cousin is not happy, what right does she have to be happy?
Kong Lanyou took the initiative to break the silence and said: "I thought of how to attack the spiritual realm!"
Zhang Ruochen knew that his emotions had affected Kong Lanyou, and he quickly smiled and said: "What?"
Kong Lanyou took out a bamboo flute and said: "Back then, the first Confucian ancestor used the harp to enter Taoism and became the ancestor of Confucianism and Taoism. I don't know how strong his spiritual power was. In the eight hundred years since he was separated from his cousin, Lan You has always been with him.
Accompanied by the sound of the flute, although I dare not say that I have transcended the world and become a saint, I still have some insights and may be able to break the path."
"As for music, I have some experience. It has accompanied me through the lowest and most difficult decades."
Zhang Ruochen took out the wooden clapper and knocked it gently. Immediately, the lingering sound traveled far away and the heaven and earth resonated.
In terms of music, Zhang Ruochen's attainments are actually not that great. The reason why he was able to attract the master of Minghuafang to become his disciple was because he borrowed the power of Wuji Shinto to resonate with the heaven and earth, creating a frightening effect.
At that time, although Tai Chi had not evolved yet, Wuji still existed.
Zhang Ruochen could not teach Kong Lanyou the music, but he wanted to pass on the charm of Wuji Shinto to her. If she could understand a thing or two, it would be of infinite benefit to her spiritual cultivation.
In the divine realm, why did Zhang Ruochen's mental power improve so quickly?
The Wuji Divine Way is his sword that breaks through the realm.
If Kong Lanyou can really understand the Wuji Divine Way, then Zhang Ruochen can provide her with the heart of the sacred tree, the spiritual pill, the relics of the Buddha, and the divine heart of the great god...
Even former enemies like Xuetu and Lian Xi, Zhang Ruochen can provide many benefits.
Naturally, Zhang Ruochen would not be stingy at all towards Kong Lanyou, and wished to give her the best he had, as long as it was helpful to her.
Who told her to have a cousin who was said to be richer than the gods of the Infinite Realm?
