"More than three hundred years have passed, and the Xuanhuang Realm must have been somewhat exhausted from the Immortal Ruins. However, it still has not collapsed..." The meaning of layman Qiao Gong was unclear.
Li Fan nodded and agreed: "All realms were annihilated, and only Xuanhuang survived. Like you and me, there must be a lot of monks who fled from other immortal worlds and came here. However, they all lurked cautiously, perhaps because of the blessing of Xuanhuang.
Shocked by the power of the world.”
"To be honest with you fellow Taoist, I know a little about formations. When I first came to Xuanhuang, I observed a huge formation that vaguely enveloped the entire world. Its energy level was so high that it might be comparable to the legendary fairy-level formations. My thoughts
In shock, he kept a low profile."
"I don't dare to make the Lingyuan Sect such a huge force like fellow Taoists!"
Layman Qiaogong smiled bitterly upon hearing this: "It seems that fellow Taoist has been targeting me for a long time!"
After a long while, layman Qiao Gong explained: "Lingyuan Sect looks quite large, but in fact it is just a ragtag group. It is not taken seriously by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance at all. It is just because of the special geographical environment of Jiushan Prefecture, and it is not related to the Five Elders Association.
On the border, dragons and snakes are mixed together. Instead of carefully managing it, it is better to let Lingyuan Sect grow wildly."
"At the very least, every time I harvest a large amount of energy, I have to hand over part of it."
"I just don't know what happened in the past three hundred years..." A trace of gloom flashed in the eyes of layman Qiao Gong.
Li Fan suddenly laughed: "Fellow Taoist, you are really scaring yourself. In fact, the development of Lingyuan Sect has been prosperous in these years. However, it just suffered a disaster not long ago, and the Jiushan Prefecture was destroyed by the sudden appearance of Tianzun Dharma.
It’s just that I was implicated.”
As he spoke, Li Fan projected the scene in front of him showing his power for the first time.
Layman Qiao Gong glanced at him, his face twitched, and he lost his voice and said: "What did you do that actually attracted the Dharma Master to take action?"
"Naturally, in the war between two behemoths, I chose to join the Five Elders Association." Li Fan explained.
Layman Qiao Gong's face was immediately full of disbelief, and then he said bitterly: "You are so confused!"
After being puzzled for a while, layman Qiao Gong seemed to have thought of something, and said with some surprise: "That's not right, I clearly feel that there are still nearly a million people in the world still practicing the Common People's Spiritual Yuan Gong..."
"Oh, that's right." Li Fan replied very calmly, "I couldn't bear to have my Taoist friends' foundation be destroyed in one day, so I took over."
Master Qiaogong was completely stunned when he heard this: "You..."
After a moment, my thoughts turned sharply, and I figured everything out: "No wonder you discovered my location soon after my resurrection..."
"No, you should have found my resurrection method a long time ago, right?"
Layman Qiaogong's expression kept changing.
Li Fan nodded slightly: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, I have no ill intentions. Otherwise, I wouldn't tell the truth."
"Oh? Who is that fellow Taoist..." layman Qiao Gong looked uncertain.
"Of course, I saw that my Taoist friends have extraordinary skills and unparalleled craftsmanship. Therefore, I would like to invite my Taoist friends to join us and work together to achieve great things!" Li Fan said with a solemn expression.
Afterwards, Li Fan spoke in detail about how to unite all realms and restore the world of mortals to the compassionate and true immortal Taoism.
"There is actually a true immortal Taoism?" layman Qiao Gong narrowed his eyes, doubtful.
It wasn't until Li Fan passed through a trace of the golden nectar of all spirits that Master Qiao Gong was inexplicably shocked again.
"Essence of Source Power?!" But he blurted out a word that was different from what Baihua Taoist described.
"Oh? What is the meaning of this essence of source power? In our Wansheng world, this thing is called Wanling jelly." Li Fan asked with interest.
Master Qiaogong stared straight at the thing in Li Fan's hand, as if he had seen some peerless treasure: "Source force is the original force that promotes the monk's realm. And the essence of source force is what causes the birth of source force."
the fundamental power of.”
"Or according to a saying that was once popular in some circles of immortality, realm is the core and cultivation is the fruit. The essence of source power is the essence of [Tao Flower], and as for the source and root of everything, it is [Tao] that drives the development of all things.
"
In Li Fan's mind, he recalled Taoist Baihua's description of Ten Thousand Spirits Nectar.
That is the part that the Nameless True Immortal abandoned while absorbing the traces of [Tao].
"Fellow Taoist's metaphor is quite novel." Li Fan continued to understand these words, thoughtfully.
Master Qiaogong, on the other hand, always stared at the essence of energy in his hand, refusing to look away.
"Is the Dao flower poisonous?" Li Fan suddenly asked.
The layman Qiao Gong was stunned for a moment, and then he understood what Li Fan meant. After pondering for a moment, he explained: "It's harmless to those who believe. Those who don't believe will definitely suffer backlash!"
"You need to know that the root of Tao and the flower of Tao are not powers that we monks who have not yet ascended to immortality can control."
"If we want to take advantage of it, we must use [Xian]."
"But [immortals] are already beyond the scope of our understanding. When they pursue the root of Tao, they will definitely leave traces of themselves. The flowers, fruits and cores of Tao thus generated are all contaminated.
His own unique flavor."
"Ordinary flowers in the world are the process of taking root, forming branches, blooming, and bearing fruit. But as monks like us, when we pursue the Tao, we search for the cause from the fruit. We look for the source of everything, the root of the Tao..."
"Such an illusory thing, if you don't realize it yourself, want to take a shortcut, and rush back to the root of the Tao before you fully understand the true power of the fruit of the Tao, you can only rely on the achievements of others."
"I wonder if fellow Taoist friends understand what I said?"
Perhaps because he had seen the real Flower of Tao with his own eyes, Master Qiao Gong was so excited that he actually said a lot in one tone.
"According to what fellow Taoist said, it seems that there is not much harm in using the power of the Flower of Tao?" Li Fan asked.
"That's natural, as long as you don't pursue the roots of other ways in the future." Layman Qiao Gong replied.
Li Fan thought for a while and understood instantly: "One root bears one fruit?"
"Yes, if you are contaminated by the power of the Flower of Tao, you will almost never be able to escape for the rest of your life. If you have the opportunity to go further in the future, you can only follow the path that has been set and pursue the root of Tao that has been bound in the dark. However,
There is already a true immortal who has taken the lead on the road ahead..."
Layman Qiaogong smiled: "So, either become the other party's believer or vassal. Or kill him and become the strongest on the road."
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I forgot to mention. Fruits grow from roots. If the roots wither, the fruits will also wither. So once the immortal standing at the source dies, the downstream will use his power to contaminate the flowers of Tao.
Everyone's existence will die suddenly."
"But he is an immortal after all, and the probability of his death is much smaller than that of us ordinary monks."
