It's strange that it's been a day and a half, but I still haven't passed the threshold of Shenying and Guixu.
In the illusory formation of landscape painting, Zhou Zheng opened his eyes with some doubts in his eyes.
A day and a half has passed outside, and the perception inside the array is equivalent to four or five days having passed.
Although it is a bit excessive to say this, if other monks know about it, they will probably pounce on Zhou Zheng and strangle him to death, but Zhou Zheng... has never encountered a situation where he needed to break through but couldn't break through for several days.
Is it that the road foundation is not solid enough?
No way, he has been beating his Tao foundation repeatedly. Whether it is the purity of mana, the width of the spiritual platform, or the clarity of the soul, it is several percent higher than that of monks in the same realm.
Every time he is about to break through, Zhou Zheng will feel a sense of impatience. When this impatience brews, it will turn into a big wave and rush through the level, completing the sublimation of essence, energy and spirit.
But this time, Zhou Zheng hadn't experienced this feeling yet.
Is it because there have been too many bans recently? Is there a backlash?
Or do you not really understand the meaning of returning to the ruins?
Guixu, from "Liezi Tang Wen", refers to the bottomless valley in the sea, where water gathers, and represents the end of things and their final destination.
After the immortal improved the monastic realm before becoming an immortal, he named the fourth realm after Guixu, which has a profound meaning.
In the fourth realm, monks will gradually abandon the mundane worldly conditions, discard the decay of the physical body, and welcome the leap in the level of life. The soul will condense into the soul, the mana will transform several times, and the connection between the body and the great avenue of heaven and earth will become closer and closer.
Physical training, innateness, divine Ying, returning to the ruins, everything is moving towards ascending to the sun, becoming an immortal and ascending to immortality.
For the vast majority of local monks in Blue Star, the biggest difficulty is to break the innate gods and return to the ruins to ascend as long as they have sufficient resources and guidance from immortals.
The former is the process of transcending the ordinary world, and the latter is the realm of leaping forward.
"Although it's not a card for only a few days, but..."
Zhou Zheng thought of Xiao Sheng's previous tragic situation and felt a little uneasy.
Ask your home repairman for advice.
So, after a while.
"The Divine Ying Perfection cannot be broken through?"
In front of the desk in the basement, Li Zhiyong put down the soldering pen and circuit board in his hands and looked at Zhou Zheng with a frown.
"Monitor, how long have you been stuck?"
"There are two or three days."
"Get out," Li Zhiyong pointed to the door, turned around and put on his goggles, lowered his head and continued working.
Zhou Zheng spread his hands, this ruthless Zhiyong.
After a while, several plates of exquisite stir-fry dishes were placed in front of the dining table.
Yue Wushuang and Lingqin'er were wiping their saliva nearby, not daring to grab chopsticks.
Bing Ning held her mobile phone and kept changing angles to take pictures of the tabletop. Her expression was so focused, her appearance so serious, and her appearance so virtuous that Zhou Zheng was embarrassed to speak for a moment.
"What's wrong?"
She asked without looking back.
"Teacher, I haven't had a breakthrough for several days."
"Well, you can go out and walk around more. Don't just focus on practicing. It is also a wise way to practice to experience the mortal world."
Bing Ning said softly, and Zhou Zheng was thoughtful.
Although it felt like the teacher was perfunctory, her focus was obviously on taking pictures;
But this seems to be correct.
Zhou Zheng hooked the bridge of his nose with his finger, walked calmly to the sofa, took out his cell phone and started chatting with Xiaoyu about spiritual practice.
The Internet speed at Dragon Palace has been good recently and has not continued to deteriorate.
She had been gone for a long time without knowing it, and Zhou Zheng was inexplicably missing her in his heart;
It's just that Longchen is more dangerous now than before. She hasn't transformed into a dragon yet, so it's really not safe here.
Huh? Next to this is...
On the single sofa by the window.
The big rooster with bright feathers is sitting upright at the moment, with two chicken paws and legs raised, the golden double crown on the head exudes peaceful waves, the tips of the big wings seem to have dexterous finger structures, wearing a pair of glasses, looking down
Look at the phone screen and type a line of text from time to time.
There was a cup of green tea on the round table in front of him, and the tea was filled with white mist.
Zhou Zheng blinked, caught a glimpse of a line of small words, and searched for it on his phone.
Lines of information jumped out immediately.
[Username: A stroke of genius; new respondent·Feng Shui expert; good at Feng Shui, fortune telling, fortune telling, and health preservation; the positive rating is 96.5%.]
this?
Good guy, in just a few days, this big guy has become a master of the Q&A forum!
Zhou Zheng casually clicked on it and glanced at it. When he saw the number of answers of '363' and the number of acceptances of '320', he felt a little more energetic.
He thought for a while and entered a line of text.
[One-to-one secret question: Master, how long does it usually take to reach the peak of Shenying and return to ruins? 】
Just as Zhou Zheng was about to put down his phone, a private message notification popped up on the screen.
[Answer from the genius: Breakthroughs are often completed in a flash. What takes time is the stage of accumulation of insights before breakthroughs. Practice is not achieved overnight. Sometimes the accumulation of experience and the desire in the heart are also important. Also: Children can come directly to inquire.
, you don’t have to use it to gain experience points for me.】
Zhou Zheng raised his head and looked toward the window.
This majestic big rooster was calmly picking up the teacup and taking a sip, showing indescribable grace.
Hmm? Wait a minute.
‘There’s no need to give me experience points.’
Zhou Zheng searched carefully, then rummaged up and down the answer page, and found the option of giving gifts, and saw the words 'can increase experience points' noted behind the gifts.
understood.
Zhou Zheng moved his fingers as fast as a phantom, recharging money and giving rewards in one go.
Lord Xingjun's smile became even stronger.
…
Tianshan, Tianchi.
A green palace is suspended above the water. A gurgling water flows out from the corner of the hall, creating a rainbow over the mirror-like Tianchi.
There are bursts of fairy sounds where the clouds and mist are shrouded, and the white cranes are chirping where the fairy lights are swirling.
Compared to the fireworks at Futian Alliance's headquarters, this place is obviously more fairy-like.
From a distance, the Jade Palace is only more than ten meters high, but the closer you get, the taller and more majestic it becomes. When you stop at the door of the palace and look inward, you find that there is actually a small world inside, with several fairy mountains and continuous terraces and houses.
Abandon.
In the mountains and forests, many children can be seen practicing and playing around;
On the balcony, you can hear the old immortals playing chess and laughing.
In the middle of the main hall, more than a dozen figures were sitting cross-legged on futons, looking at the two corpses, including a crazy fairy woman.
The leader, Bai Mengxian, still covered his eyes with white gauze, and his expression was a little solemn at the moment.
"There are indeed experts in Longchen City," she said. "When I was there, I felt warning signs several times, but I couldn't find the source of the warning signs. I should have been alert."
Ye Yan'er sat under Bai Mengxian, with her elbows on her knees and her palms on her chin, quietly lost in thought at the crazy woman.
A Taoist said in a low voice: "Although the three evil spirits are only in the name of our Jietian Sect, they have always been regarded as members of our Jietian Sect. Now they are being killed like this. What should you and I do if we don't do anything?"
"Are you a Jinxian?" Ye Yan'er asked softly.
The man was immediately speechless.
"There are thousands of differences in the Golden Immortal Realm," a Taoist said slowly, "Three evil spirits have killed too many evil spirits, and their luck has long been negative. I am afraid that they underestimated the enemy and were arrogant. It is normal to have such an end."
"Eh? Look, does the wound on this guy's chest look like it was scratched with a sharp claw? No, no, it's probably not a sharp claw, but a sharp weapon similar to a rake!"
"Rake? Are there any experts in using rakes?"
"I really can't remember the master of rake for a moment. I only remember Marshal Tianpeng and Zhu Bajie, the messenger of the altar."
"Is Zhu Bajie so powerful? It's impossible. When he traveled to the west, he was just a bastard. He followed the monkey's ass every day. He was greedy, lustful and lazy. When he encountered a more powerful monster, he would call him Brother Monkey."
"What do you know? Journey to the West is nothing more than a conspiracy. The Monkey King and the rest are all working hard and failing to do anything. If nothing happens, just call the gods to take action and enrich the resume of these gods.
"The great sage in front of the Heavenly Palace is a newcomer to the workplace, and he is arrogant in his heart.
"The Great Sage, who has been suppressed by the Tathagata Buddha for five hundred years, naturally understands what people, emotions, the world, and reasons are. He is smarter than anyone else."
"Isn't it true that he was tricked by the Jade Emperor and Tathagata? He used him to suppress countless monsters."
"So the great sage secretly accumulated strength by becoming a Buddha, and smashed the spiritual mountain with a stick!
"Look, the Great Sage was able to increase his strength so quickly within a few hundred years after his journey to the west, and Zhu Bajie might also have this ability.
"After all, don't forget, the Great Sage practiced the seventy-two transformations of Earthly Evil, while that guy Zhu Bajie learned the thirty-six transformations of Tiangang."
"alright!"
Yun Mengxian interrupted the endless chatter of this group of Taoists, "Let's talk about the matter at hand."
All the Taoists fell silent immediately.
A Taoist laughed sarcastically: "Report it, how can we talk about it? You and I are not related to these three evil spirits. The higher-ups must send a high-level person to come and take a look. After all, two golden immortals died. Their Taoist principles
The fragments must also be collected back."
"That's all. I don't know which adults will come to Blue Star."
Yun Mengxian sighed softly, with a hint of thought on his cold face.
In the corner, Taoist Banshan, who had never spoken and looked a little haggard, lowered his head and sighed, murmuring repeatedly in his heart:
‘How to feed back.’
…
The third day of failure.
In the evening, Zhou Zheng decided to go out for a walk, walk the cat, and look at the scenery to relax his mind and not to really create a bottleneck due to stress.
It’s been a long time since I went out on the street without wearing uniform.
It is said that the big bosses of the Futian Alliance are already on their way and will arrive at Blue Star tonight or tomorrow.
Instructor Xiaoyue didn't know who was coming, he only knew it was a big boss.
This is a little subtle.
On the tree-lined path in the park, Zhou Zheng, dressed casually, put his hands in his trouser pockets and wandered aimlessly.
Ling Qin'er pouted and followed beside her. Today, the cat girl tied up her ponytails again to look young, put on a loose shirt and denim shorts, and her slender legs were so soft and shiny without stockings to cover them.
Since height limits the sexiness index, then simply follow the cute route to the end.
"Hmph, just walk around in circles when you come out. I didn't even invite ice fans today. You're a stingy guy."
"I am feeling something. Do you understand the feeling?"
Zhou Zheng smiled and said: "The instructor just sent the reward this morning. Our team can hardly store the spiritual stone storage magic weapon. He also gave us a dozen spiritual stone coupons and asked us to go to them to cash in the spiritual stone after we use up the spiritual stone."
"With the financial resources I have, am I going to pick up such mundane things?
"Ahem, as for."
Ask and answer yourself.
Lingqin'er rolled her eyes: "Let's go find a place to have a meal. I'll treat you to it! It's true that now that our relationship is nominal, I'm the one who should be fed!"
"What are you going to eat?" Zhou Zheng looked at the sky, "I'm going to treat you to ice cream today. It's rare that you are willing to go shopping with me. Find a place to sit."
Lingqin'er was full of astonishment.
Is this guy transgender?
So, three minutes later.
On the roof of a certain building, Lingqin'er was sitting on the edge of the building facing the sunset, looking at the old popsicle in her hand with wrapping paper scraps stuck on it, and her forehead was covered with black lines.
Is this guy a relative of Lord Subaru?
She took a fierce bite of the popsicle, then blinked slightly and licked it in small sips, with a faint smile on her lips.
Zhou Zheng stood aside with a smile, his hands in his trouser pockets, looking at the bustling and crowded city under the sunset.
"Lolicon, are you worried?"
"A little bit, it's nothing to worry about."
Zhou Zheng smiled and said:
"I was thinking about what happened recently. There were times when I wanted to do more, but I could only find someone to cooperate with me and take advantage of the restrictions I was carrying.
"I really want to become an immortal soon, a true immortal, a heavenly immortal, a golden immortal, and be qualified to live freely in this troubled world of immortals."
"It's not that easy," Lingqin'er muttered, "cultivation must be done step by step."
"But things will not happen step by step as we expected."
Zhou Zheng said:
"When I was reading comics, I was thinking, why are these villains so stupid? Why don't they establish a mechanism to monitor threats after taking over the world? Anyone who shows signs of the protagonist will be killed directly.
"Now there are Celestial Immortals and Golden Immortals coming to assassinate me, and I just returned to the Ruins Realm.
"This pressure is indeed a bit high."
"Aren't there many masters protecting you?"
Lingqin'er whispered:
"The Ice Fairy protects me personally, and from time to time one or two Golden Fairies will come to visit me at home. Master Guanyin has also been here, and the black bear spirit with unpredictable strength is also in Blue Star. What else do you want.
"Anyway, we feel that improving strength can only be done slowly, and rushing is not an option.
"And even if you become a Golden Immortal, you won't be able to do much in this age of great strife. You will just follow the crowd. I heard people say that there is a half-step of good fortune beyond the Golden Immortal. There is still a half-step of good fortune beyond the half-step of good fortune.
Where is the saint?
"When will this end? You have to learn to enjoy life."
"When you reach the top of the Immortal Road, you will reach the end of your practice."
Zhou Zheng squinted and smiled, staring at the setting sun like blood.
Buzz, buzz!
The phone vibrated slightly, and Zhou Zheng could probably guess without looking at it that this was probably a message from instructor Xiaoyue.
It is estimated that the big bosses of the Futian Alliance will arrive tonight, and I have to go back and make preparations to welcome them.
