Ling Xiao's expression was slightly startled, and there was a complicated look in his eyes.
"I'm waiting for you to come back! Brother Ling Xiao, it's been ten years since you left, but it's great that you are still back..."
Nannan smiled, as if the world had lost its color.
The look she looked at Ling Xiao was full of nostalgia, not unfamiliar at all, but full of surprise and kindness.
"Nanny, you don't have to wait for me!"
Ling Xiao thought about it for a moment and said to Nannan seriously.
He understood Nannan's feelings for him, but he couldn't accept it. He thought of Jinse and Xuewei, and he didn't want to lose one more person.
He has to leave this world eventually, and he doesn't want to leave even a trace of concern in this world.
The deeper Ling Xiao understands this world, the more guesses he has in his mind, and the crueler the truth hidden behind it becomes.
"Brother Ling Xiao, I actually envy Sister Jinse! But don't worry, I won't cause you any trouble. I will help you carry forward the divine way!"
Nannan's eyes dimmed slightly, but she still forced a smile and said.
"Nanny, you don't have to be like this..."
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly.
But before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Nannan: "Brother Lingxiao, I'm relieved to see you back! I'm going to deal with things. The development of Shinto has been getting better and better recently, and Nannan is really busy.
oh!"
Nannan said with a smile, then turned and left.
Ling Xiao could see that Nannan's back was trembling slightly, which made her look pitiful.
Ling Xiao let out a long sigh and didn't say much.
The development of Shinto in the past ten years has exceeded Ling Xiao's expectations.
Every city in this world has built a Lingxiao Temple and erected a statue of Lingxiao. Every day, the incense continues, and countless devout people will go to the Lingxiao Temple to meditate on the ten major concepts.
Ling Xiao has become a god-like existence in this world, and is fanatically worshiped by countless people.
Among them, apart from Chonglou, Murong Jin, Tianyunzi and Young Master Wushuang, the most important one is Nannan.
Nannan is the goddess of Lingxiao Temple. She walks the world on behalf of Lingxiao, cures diseases and saves people, punishes evil and promotes good, and promotes Shinto methods, winning Lingxiao countless followers.
Now, even Chonglou and others are willing to accept Nannan's command, and under Nannan's leadership, Shinto is spread throughout the world.
Ling Xiao settled down in a small mountain village.
Watching the clouds rolling and relaxing, and the flowers blooming and falling every day, it seems as if everything in the outside world has nothing to do with him.
Ling Xiao comprehends the nature of the world and behaves like a mortal every day, going out early and coming back late, chopping firewood, hunting, cultivating grain, harvesting every seed with his own hands, and cooking dishes.
This small mountain village is extremely peaceful. No one knows that Ling Xiao is the world-famous Shinto founder, and no one knows that Nannan is the goddess who saves the suffering.
Here, Ling Xiao can feel inner peace and ease.
"The way of the heart is also the way of heaven! When I open my heart, I may have the power to fight Taiyi!"
Ling Xiao whispered to himself.
Although Ling Xiao didn't know how he appeared in this world, even apart from his consciousness, he had no cultivation and became a mortal through and through.
But as Ling Xiao refined the power of faith during this period and gathered the world's destiny, his mental strength also began to improve by leaps and bounds. The Taixu Xin Talisman Sutra was actually able to practice with the help of the power of faith.
This is Ling Xiao's trump card, he didn't tell anyone!
Nowadays, Ling Xiao's Taixu Heart Talisman Sutra has reached the peak of the fifth level after reconstruction, and is only one step away from reaching the sixth level of manifestation.
Ling Xiao can feel that when he reaches the sixth level of manifesting the saint, he may be able to open the inner world, and then he will be able to find a way out.
Even if he doesn't fight Taiyi, there is still a way out.
This is his last trump card and his biggest reliance.
But Ling Xiao also understands the mystery of the Taixu Heart Talisman Sutra. Although he has reached the peak of the fifth level, he may be able to break through to the sixth level soon, but he may never be able to break through.
Therefore, Ling Xiao consciously did not practice, as if he had forgotten himself and everything, just like a mortal struggling to survive in this vast world.
Another twenty years have passed.
Ling Xiao is already sixty years old. His beard and hair are all white, and his white clothes are flowing. He looks more and more like an old god. Many old people in the village have passed away, but Ling Xiao still lives peacefully in that small courtyard.
.
Nannan spends most of her time outside dealing with Shinto matters, but she will definitely come back to stay for a few days every month, eat with Ling Xiao, and watch the sea of clouds rolling in with Ling Xiao on top of Tongtian Peak. They are like two old friends, although they don't speak.
, but there is a tacit understanding.
On this day, Chonglou, Tianyunzi and Murong Jin all came.
The three of them are nearing the end of their lifespan. Each one of them is very old, and their skin is like bark. Their lives have come to an end, and they are like candles in the wind that will be extinguished at any time.
But the eyes of Chonglou and Murong Jin were full of anxiety, unwillingness and expectation.
Over the years, they have enjoyed countless prosperity in the human world and have tremendous boxing power. Although their lives have come to an end, they are even more unwilling to die like this.
So, they came to find Ling Xiao.
This Shinto Patriarch may be able to help them take that final step and achieve the realm of true gods!
As long as they can break the void, as long as they can achieve the realm of true gods, maybe they can have a long life. This is a temptation that they can't refuse.
But Tianyunzi was different. Ling Xiao knew that he was going to be reincarnated again.
"What are you doing here?"
Ling Xiao, whose beard and hair were all white, sat cross-legged on the big bluestone, looking at the misty sea of clouds in front of him, without looking back.
"Ancestor, please teach your disciples the method of immortality!"
"Ancestor, please tell your disciples how to break through to the realm of true God!"
Both Chonglou and Murong Jin bowed deeply to Ling Xiao, knelt down and kowtowed, their eyes full of anticipation.
Tianyunzi, on the other hand, stood silently aside, faintly separated from the two of them.
Zhonglou and Murong Jin have been practicing during this period, and their cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds. Their strength is more than ten times stronger than thirty years ago. They have reached the extreme of the False God Realm, and are only one step away from the True God Realm.
Therefore, they are even more eager to break through to the true god realm!
However, the ten major methods of cultivation of contemplation seemed to have some flaws, and there was no method to break through to the true god realm. They all thought that Ling Xiao was hiding something.
This dissatisfaction has become deeper and deeper as time goes by, and even turned into resentment.
"The Realm of True God is right in front of you, but you can't see it! The Dharma cannot be taught lightly. You still need to understand everything yourself. The secret to breakthrough is hidden in the ten major contemplation methods!"
Ling Xiao said lightly, his voice extremely ethereal.
