The sword spirit walked in front and stepped into the gate of the Sword Palace. The light inside the gate fluctuated and condensed into light curtains. When passing through these light curtains, it was like passing through a thin layer of mercury.
"Junior, the Sword Palace is divided into several parts. Although you have barely been recognized by me and Chi Bai, according to the rules set by the master, you are still not qualified to enter most areas of the Sword Palace. You can enter now.
The Enlightenment Hall and Tiangong Pavilion, among which the Enlightenment Hall is the core of the Sword Palace, I am going to take you to the Enlightenment Hall now."
The sword spirit said as he passed through the last light curtain. When all the light and shadow disappeared, Yi Yun's vision suddenly became clear, and he found that he had arrived on a grassland.
The grass is luxuriant and boundless, white clouds are floating in the sky, and the sun is shining brightly. A winding river runs across the grassland, and the river water reflects the sunlight, with sparkling blue waves, like scattered silver.
This is an independent space. Many immortal palaces and mansions appear to be only the size of a small hill from the outside, but once you step inside, there is a world of wonders. These ancient masters who refine the immortal mansions can even transform a complete small world.
Refined into the Immortal Mansion as it is, coupled with the various large formations in the Immortal Mansion, gathering the vitality of heaven and earth, making this small world full of spirituality. You can grow medicinal herbs and raise spiritual beasts here. It is really a world of your own.
Same.
In the large grassland, the wormwood is no taller than the calf and grows very neatly. This grassland has experienced such a long time, but the grass here is like an army, growing without chaos, which is amazing.
In the center of this grassland, Yi Yun saw a tree.
This was an ancient tree. When Yi Yun saw its appearance clearly, he felt even more strange.
This tree is not very tall, only as tall as two people. Its roots are twisting and vigorous, like an old dragon entwined together.
The crown of the tree is not dense, and there are very few leaves. You can even count them carefully, but the shape of these leaves is very special, they are like small swords.
The leaves are emerald green, floating gently in the wind, reflecting the warm sunshine, as if each leaf has its own life.
"This tree..."
Before Yi Yun even got close to this ancient tree, he felt how extraordinary it was.
"This is a Tao tree." Sword Spirit spoke, "It has existed for too long, and it is impossible to verify how many years it has survived. When the owner discovered it, it had already condensed the Tao. In this world, there are
Such wonders of heaven and earth were born in the primitive chaos, almost together with the big world and even the universe."
"After they appeared, they condensed the way of heaven, and after endless years, they became gods."
"The Taoist tree you see is a god."
Gods? Yi Yun was stunned for a moment. It was difficult to explain exactly what gods were.
The former Huang King said that the ancient gods sealed the world where Tianyuan World was located, but Yi Yun guessed that those so-called ancient gods were just more powerful warriors.
"Why do you say that this Taoist tree is a god? It is very powerful?" Yi Yun asked. The first impression of a god is that it is powerful. Only by being powerful can one be a god.
Sword Spirit said: "This Dao tree is indeed powerful, but I don't know how powerful it is, because in these endless years, I have never seen it take action..."
Um?
Yi Yun was stunned, "You are so strong that you don't take action? Why is that?"
"Probably because there is nothing in the world that requires it to take action. It has no mind, and it just stands between heaven and earth."
"Not sane?"
Yi Yun was even more stunned. Originally, he had heard that the Tao tree was a god, and thought it could change its form, such as turning into a human form. As for producing sanity, that was nothing. Even some people who grew up in the divine wilderness
Ancient medicines can produce some elementary sanity over time.
But Daoshu, as a god, has no sanity.
Sword Spirit sighed and said: "Things in the world last for thousands of years, including joys and sorrows, separations and sufferings of life and death. No matter how thick the history book is, it cannot bear it. However, even such endless past events can be lived in the blink of an eye. In the old age,
Looking back on the past, I feel that everything was just like a passing smoke.”
"The Tao tree cannot produce wisdom, but it is a good thing for it. In this way, it will not get lost in the world of grudges and will truly be free from sorrow and joy."
"The true great enlightenment is not to see through the world of mortals, but to have a heart as heaven and earth, and the Tao as natural. Because of these, this Tao tree can condense itself into Tao and transform into a god."
When Sword Spirit said what he said, Yi Yun was shocked. His heart felt like heaven and earth, and the Tao followed naturally... Everything Sword Spirit said seemed to be true to the Tao.
This passage is not a technique or a secret book, but after understanding it, Yi Yun feels that his Taoist heart has become a little clearer.
This is the philosophy of Tao Shu becoming a god.
"So..." Sword Spirit continued: "Although the Tao tree is powerful, its power is not the reason why it is called a god. It is a god because it condenses the principles of heaven, or in other words, it is the Tao. It has existed for too long.
The long time span far exceeds the lifespans of Chibai and me, and even if Chibai and I die in the future, it will continue to exist until the Tao it condenses dies."
"I don't know how long it will take. Even if it doesn't live the same age as heaven and earth, it won't be far away..."
When the sword spirit said this, he looked at Yi Yun, "If you can condense the Great Dao and forge your life itself into a Dao. Since the Dao of Heaven is you and you are the Dao of Heaven, then you can live as long as the heaven and the earth.
Immortality... This is also the realm of immortality pursued by countless great powers in the Twelve Emperors, but..."
The sword spirit shook his head slightly when he said this, "That's too difficult! Humans have seven emotions and six desires, and it is difficult to truly integrate with the way of heaven. Unlike this Taoist tree, it has no sanity, no sorrow and joy, and will last forever."
"Thank you, senior, for your teaching." Yi Yun said humbly.
He followed the sword spirit and walked under the Tao tree. Looking up, he saw the elite green patch of sky, like small green jade swords flying.
This land is full of indescribable laws. I feel that this is a sacred tree after all. Let alone a sacred tree, even a piece of rotten wood has been able to nourish this place into a sacred land after endless years of tempering by the great road.
.
"Junior, this Tao tree is the core of the Immortal Palace. It is also because of this Tao tree that this place is called the Hall of Enlightenment. Sitting cross-legged under the Tao tree, your understanding of the Tao can improve by leaps and bounds. You can realize the Tao here for three days.
, it is equivalent to one year of enlightenment in the outside world, and the master back then also enlightened here!"
Enlightenment Hall...
Only then did Yi Yun know the origin of the Enlightenment Palace. Indeed, how could enlightenment be fast under a god who condensed the great ways of heaven and earth?
The sword spirit continued: "The Hall of Enlightenment allows you to realize the Tao. As for the Tiangong Pavilion, it contains the treasures left by the master during his lifetime. You can choose a magic weapon used by a strong man in the Tongtian realm according to your preference, until you break through.
After reaching the Tongtian realm, choose another one. This opportunity is very rare, so you must seize it!"
