Generally speaking, the spiritual consciousness of a Qi practitioner in the early stage of the Condensing Light Realm can only detect twenty or thirty miles.
Thanks to the 'Special Training for Evil Ghosts in the God-Gathering Realm' in the past two years, Li Ping'an's spiritual consciousness is much stronger than that of Qi Refiners of the same realm, and he can explore areas within a radius of about fifty miles.
This gave him a little more sense of security.
Li Ping'an traveled all the way south. If he could walk through underground rivers, he would not go on the surface. If he could fly close to the surface, he would not go into the air. He would hide when he encountered a mountain gate and avoid a town. His main goal was to avoid causing trouble.
He has always believed in this truth - the enemy will not let you go just because you have just practiced for three years.
According to the immortal sect books his father brought one after another, Li Ping'an had a general understanding of the world at the mountain sect.
There is a song praising:
Since the creation of the world since Pangu, the innate people have retired and competed with each other.
Dragons and phoenixes rise and fall together, hundreds of tribes stand in the sky but cannot reach their top.
The reversal of yin and yang buries water and fire, and the Holy Mother breaks earth to bring about three clear things.
The rise of Yan and Huang led to the retreat of the barbarians, and today the four continents are divided into five elements.
This world is roughly the same as the 'mythical age' that Li Ping'an knew, but there are many subtle differences.
For example, whenever Taoist ancestors are mentioned here, they refer to Sanqing, not the famous Taoist Hongjun.
There are rumors that the Taoist ancestor of the Sanqing Dynasty had another teacher, but the master of the Sanqing Dynasty had retired from the world since ancient times. Perhaps it was Hongjun.
This world will not directly call the six leader-level masters saints. There is only one person with the word saint, which is the human mother goddess Nuwa.
Let’s talk about the layout of the entire world, which is divided into four continents according to directions: southeast, southeast, and northwest.
Among them, Dongzhou and Nanzhou, which are the most fertile, are now the territory of the human race, and they share the respect of the human race’s holy mother Nuwa;
Xizhou is a reserved area for hundreds of ancient tribes, and is respected by the two leaders of the Western Sect;
The bitter cold land of Beizhou is full of miasma, poisonous insects are everywhere, and the creatures are sinister. There is an ancient witch and a great monster is hiding in the world.
There are differences between Dongzhou and Nanzhou, but the specific differences are not clear in Wanyun Sect's classics. It seems that the entire Nanzhou is shrouded in a huge formation, prohibiting Qi Refiners from entering and exiting at will.
Compared to the mysterious Nanzhou, the land of Dongzhou where Li Ping'an and his son live is much more 'normal'.
Here, immortals and mortals are mixed together, and there are many immortal gates. While the human Qi Refiners respect the Human Mother, they will also respect the Sanqing Taoist ancestors.
It is said that the origins of all the immortal sects in Dongzhou come from the Taoist temples of the Sanqing Taoist ancestors - mainly referring to Yuxu Palace in Kunlun and Jin'ao Island in the East China Sea.
In Dongzhou, the secular world has its earthly territory, and the Qi-refiners have their mountain gates. The two are distinct and intertwined, and the former is often a vassal of the latter.
There are often conquests between immortal dynasties, and there are countless personal grievances among Qi practitioners. There are also evil cultivators of demons that harm every place...
In short, many areas in Dongzhou are indeed quite chaotic.
Li Ping'an traveled south for three days and three nights, and witnessed a 'robbery' incident near the town of Chufang.
The robbers are a dozen or so casual cultivators who hide their heads and faces, with different skills and mixed auras. The lowest strength is at the seventh level of the God Gathering Realm, and the highest strength is around the sixth level of the Condensing Light Realm.
Those who were robbed were another group of casual cultivators, whose overall strength was weaker than these robbers.
After a brief fight, the robbed party began to desperately break out of the encirclement, mostly fighting on their own without paying much attention to the lives of others.
Li Ping'an was quite touched when he saw it.
Of course he won't take action at will, and it has nothing to do with him.
All he could do was to stay further away from the place of fighting, observe the fighting skills of these Qi practitioners in the dark, ponder their methods of fighting, and then sigh with emotion:
"To take action is to risk one's life."
After observing the conflict between the Qi Masters, Li Ping'an became more cautious.
He took out the map he had obtained at Fanshi Hall and studied it carefully. He also took out the detailed map of Dongzhou he had obtained before and compared it one by one, trying to avoid areas where he might encounter danger.
Just like that, he, this little cultivator of Ningguang, sneaked all the way to Wan'an City.
The Immortal Dynasty where Wan'an City is located is called "Linzheng". Its territory spreads for three thousand miles, with hundreds of large cities and tens of thousands of mortals.
The entire city, spiritual veins, and incense within the Linzhengxian Dynasty are the ‘sect property’ of the Wanyun Sect;
A major responsibility of the outer sect of Wanyun Sect is to protect the entire Linzheng Immortal Dynasty, open up spiritual mines in various places, clean up monsters, and regularly search for fairy children in Linzheng Immortal Dynasty.
Wanyun Sect not only has the Linzheng Immortal Dynasty, but also has two smaller Immortal Dynasties. In addition, it also manages several small and medium-sized towns.
Li Ping'an traveled south for seven days and arrived at the border of Linzhengxian Dynasty.
When he passed by the border military camp, he saw the flag of the Wan Yun Sect and felt the aura of several Wan Yun Sect immortals.
——The elders and deacons of Wanyun Sect take turns here.
Li Ping'an thought for a while, did not show up to pay his respects, and rushed to Wan'an City in a low-key manner.
After another day of walking, less than a thousand miles away from Wan'an City, Li Ping'an floated out from the underground river, found a house abandoned by hunters in the mountains, and sorted out his appearance.
He couldn't go to see Daozhang Chen with his slightly arrogant appearance.
Li Ping'an took out the talisman and arranged a simple isolation formation, and then took out a spherical magic weapon.
The two Immortals from the Wan Yun Sect who were secretly protecting Li Ping'an on Yun Shang frowned at this time.
The orb magic weapon lit up with fairy light, and the fairy consciousness of Yan Sheng and Wei Yanzi was also isolated. They could only sense Li Ping'an's general movements.
I don’t know where Li Dazhi got such a weird treasure.
Elder Yan Sheng took a puff of Linggen dry smoke and mused slightly: "There are not many dangers along the way. The personal escorts like you and me are really superfluous."
Wei Yanzi smiled and said: "Little friend Ping An has avoided eight conflicts along the way. Isn't it a skill?"
"If you say so, that's not bad."
Elder Yan Sheng sighed:
"Just seeing how little friend Ping An behaves, I always feel that he went through a lot of ups and downs before entering the mountains to practice cultivation. I don't know how much persecution he suffered at such a young age."
"What the elder said is absolutely true, and I feel the same way."
Wei Yanzi held the yin-yang mirror, pointed it at the forest hut below, and said with a smile:
"I know him fairly well. He is not greedy for life and afraid of death, but he just cherishes his life.
"Besides, his trial is to deliver a letter. As long as he completes delivering the letter, the trial will be completed. It is also a good thing not to cause too many troubles."
"I like Ping An's temperament."
Elder Yan Sheng nodded and frowned inadvertently.
The elder turned to look at the sky not far away and whispered: "There are other true immortals inside the door."
Wei Yanzi was speechless and said with a wry smile: "Is it possible that Master Dazhi also hired other helpers?"
"Not necessarily a helper."
Elder Yan Sheng gradually relaxed his brows and said in a low voice:
"It's Elder Xiao Yue, who brought three female disciples here.
"She should have intentionally exposed her presence to let you and me know that she is here, and the follow-up should not be too embarrassing.
"If Elder Xiao Yue wants to add some hardships to Ping An, that's fine. Just don't hurt Ping An."
That Elder Xiao Yue?
Wei Yanzi thought carefully and understood the general idea.
This is here to cause trouble.
In the forest below, the fairy light emitted by the orb magic weapon gradually converged. Li Ping'an, who had changed his appearance, opened the wooden house, tapped his toes, and floated to the treetops like a feather.
Wei Yanzi took a closer look and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Li Ping'an still used disguise, he finally stopped using his slightly arrogant appearance.
Looking at this journey, Wei Yanzi almost gave birth to an inner demon.
Li Ping'an flew quickly over the forest sea.
He seemed to feel something, and there was a small glass mirror in his palm.
The glazed mirror directly illuminated the white cloud where Elder Yan Sheng and Wei Yanzi were.
Li Ping'an laughed secretly in his heart.
Although the immortals within the sect are highly cultivated and profound, they do not pay attention to details at all.
A white cloud floated above his head. The relative distance remained unchanged. It did not change its shape regardless of the wind direction. How could he not notice it?
but……
A thoughtful look flashed across Li Ping'an's eyes.
The glass mirror turned slightly, and Li Ping'an locked onto another white cloud.
This is the white cloud that just appeared today. It is from the same sect as Wan Yun Sect's Cloud Control Technique. An hour ago, there was a human figure wandering over the cloud.
He suddenly had a bad premonition and checked the magic weapons and hidden weapons stored in his body again.
at the same time;
Within Wanyun Sect.
…
Bamboo forest hut on the mountain behind the main peak.
Li Dazhi changed into a loose robe and sat in front of the huge word "Tao". He held a yin-yang mirror in his hand and looked at the picture in the mirror from time to time.
On the futon in front of him, a skinny old man in a mysterious robe opened his eyes and sighed:
"Dazhi, you are going to be promoted to immortality soon! You should calm down and prepare for it. This is a major event for your cultivation!"
"Hey, yes!"
Li Dazhi hurriedly put the mirror behind his butt and grinned:
"Master, don't worry, my disciples have already been prepared!
"Ascension to immortality is just a leap to the realm of one's own life. The disciple's Taoist foundation has been solidified and his enlightenment is sufficient. Next, he only needs to wait for that ray of inspiration to appear, and he can step into the immortal realm by holding on to the aura.
"That's what Ping An told me."
"You!"
Taoist Kong Ming shook his head and chuckled: "You never leave your son for even a word!"
"hey-hey."
Li Dazhi smiled honestly:
"Master, please be understanding. If a disciple practices cultivation first and then has an heir, he may not attach too much importance to the heir.
"But when I was a mortal, I got this precious son first. Since he was a child, he has held it in the palm of his hand for fear of falling, and held it in his mouth for fear of melting.
"This is the current obsession of my disciples. This will never affect my practice. On the contrary, it will make my disciples more motivated."
Taoist Kong Ming nodded gently and said slowly: "As a teacher, I have observed Ping An several times. His understanding is indeed amazing. Although his qualifications and luck are only average, he can be regarded as a malleable talent."
Li Dazhi's eyes widened.
Listen to what Master means...
Taoist Kong Ming deliberately changed the subject: "But Ping An's thoughts are too heavy, which makes Pindao hesitate..."
"Oh! Master!"
Li Dazhi hurriedly said:
"Isn't my son your grandson?
"Ping An is a child with many thoughts and thoughts, but he definitely has no intention of harming anyone. He is definitely good at heart!
"Master! Master, if you can speak the truth and appoint a fairy to be the master of Ping An, the disciple will really have nothing to worry about!"
Taoist Kong Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled.
Li Dazhi pulled the futon under his butt and moved it in front of Taoist Kong Ming.
Taoist Kong Ming couldn't help stroking his beard and laughing, his eyes full of smiles: "Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, bring me this Yin-Yang Mirror."
"okay."
Li Dazhi presented the Yin Yang Mirror with both hands.
"Dazhi, you need to understand that although I am the founder of the Wan Yun Sect, this Wan Yun Sect is not my dojo. I cannot directly open the door for him, and everything must be done in a smooth manner."
Taoist Kongming took the mirror and looked at it for a few times, then said warmly:
"My master has not been in retreat recently, but he is also paying attention to this matter. There are a few disciples who want to cause some trouble for your son, so I would like to use this opportunity to give your son a lesson.
"If Ping An does well, I will call your senior brother back and accept Ping An as a disciple.
"If there is anything wrong with Ping An's handling of this matter, my master will choose a heavenly being for him in the sect and let him worship a master and practice in peace. What do you think?"
"Okay! Of course!"
Li Dazhi was overjoyed and kowtowed quickly:
"Thank you Master! It all depends on Master!"
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on this mirror for you, so you can prepare for immortality with peace of mind."
Taoist Kongming smiled and said:
"There is no definite date when that flash of inspiration will appear. You have to be prepared to stay in seclusion for a long time. Even for a talented person, it is not easy to become an immortal.
"There are only three things I can tell you as a teacher: let go, be willing, and detach."
Li Dazhi smiled and said: "Master, I know how to find this glimmer of light."
"Oh?" Taoist Kongming looked confused.
Li Dazhi intended to give his son a hand, but did not pay much attention to Li Ping'an's instructions and said directly:
"Half a year ago, Ping An deliberately gave me some advice. He must have noticed that I had reached the top of the Heaven and Earth Bridge, but I had not yet become an immortal.
"He asked me: Dad, do you have any regrets in your life?
"I replied: I have too many regrets.
"Ping An said: Enlightenment is actually related to emotions, and human emotions are closely related to the resonance of the avenue. If you are stuck in practice, or are waiting for enlightenment at a more critical node, you can try to review your regrets, experience them, and then break away.
Regret, looking for that sense of relief can often lead to one's own enlightenment."
"A sense of relief?"
Taoist Kongming stroked his beard and groaned softly, then shook his head and chuckled:
“If you have low level of cultivation in Ping An, you will inevitably view the matters of cultivation as too simple.
"Even if you try this, you still need to pay attention to keeping your Tao mind clear and don't fall into the inner demons."
"Yes, disciple understands!"
Li Dazhi glanced at the yin-yang mirror in his master's hand, took a deep breath, straightened his robe, and slowly closed his eyes.
Taoist Kong Ming raised his hand and gave a gentle push. Li Dazhi's figure slowly rotated and turned into a white mist.
The sound of the avenue plays slowly, and the boundless spiritual energy washes the body of the avenue.
Taoist Kong Ming sat on the edge of the white mist, picked up the yin and yang mirror and glanced at it without looking at it more.
Looking at Li Pingan's side, we did encounter a little trouble.
