Shi Yingxue had not been so close to these relics just now. When she bowed at their feet one by one, she realized that their faces were almost the same as real people. Except for a pair of eyes, there was no trace of a living person.
They are dexterous, but their faces are exactly the same as before they ascended.
What Shi Yingxue had to do was a few more steps than what everyone had to do before. Just now, all the disciples only needed to obey the instructions given by the Chief Commander to pay homage one by one. However, Shi Yingxue had to re-carry out the sacrifices for each immortal.
The jade platform under the feet is wiped clean, and then fresh fruits and other items are presented. Finally, a cup of fragrant tea is presented, and the head is ringed three times to pray for the blessings of the ancestors.
These things were simple for Shi Yingxue, so she had no resistance at all when doing them. She didn't even need Gu Qianhe to instruct her on how to do them. She did them very well without any airs of being a young lady.
Gu Qianhe looked at her back with slightly more admiration in his eyes.
She followed Shi Yingxue. If she bowed to one, he would introduce one to her.
After paying homage, Shi Yingxue also got to know all the seniors.
These eighteen immortals, without exception, all started practicing at the end of the ancient times. At that time, monks and mortals were mixed together, with almost no big difference, and the spiritual energy was suddenly exhausted, making it difficult to practice.
The cultivation at that time was not as systematic and orderly as it is now. They all tried to understand the way of heaven by themselves, and became immortals with difficulty through a thread of immortality.
Shi Yingxue didn't have much feeling for them, only admiration and reverence. After all, they were so far apart in time that she only had respect and no other thoughts in her heart.
However, when her eyes passed over one of them, she became a little thoughtful.
This is an ancestor whose experience is similar to the others, but her spiritual roots are much different. She possesses four spiritual roots. After going through countless hardships and obstacles, she became a golden immortal, and her name is Lingyun.
Bi, the name of the road is floating clouds.
Shi Yingxue noticed her not because of her appearance, but because she felt something was wrong with her eyes. Her gaze lingered for a moment. Before she could see what happened, Gu Qianhe behind him suddenly called her: "Ruyi
, you did not worship this Blue River Fairy well just now. I am afraid that the senior fairy will punish you, so you should come back and worship me again."
When Shi Yingxue heard the words, she hurried over and paid homage again. When she was ready and looked back at the remains of Fairy Fuyun, she no longer noticed the slightest difference in her eyes.
Gu Qianhe thought that Shi Yingxue had great respect for this fairy, so he laughed casually and said: "This fairy has some connections with your sect. Before Master Ting Bing became a disciple of my Yunlang Taoist sect, he had a close relationship with me.
We became very close friends with this fairy. Later, after I became a disciple of Yunlang Dao, it was this fairy who taught your master how to practice the Supreme Forgetfulness Dao in the early days."
If you think about it this way, I don’t know how many years ago it happened.
Today, Ye Qingqiu is already tens of thousands of years old, and Yunlangdao has been a sect for 38,900 years. After all, can he still be called a direct ancestor?
Shi Yingxue bowed and saluted again.
Seeing that she had always been so polite, Gu Qianhe couldn't help but nodded.
Shi Yingxue actually had some doubts in her heart. Could it be that since the end of the ancient times, apart from the eighteen ancestors at the beginning, there have been no immortals in Yunlang Dao since then? Obviously, as time goes by, the methods of cultivation are getting better and better.
Perfect, there are more and more techniques that have been practiced and tested by predecessors. Logically speaking, the possibility of becoming an immortal is much higher than before. Why are there only the remains of these eighteen immortals here?
With this in mind, she asked.
Gu Qianhe was not surprised at all that Shi Yingxue would ask such a question. He called a dozen outer disciples who had been waiting quietly at the back of the hall to come over and move the eighteen ancestors' niche cages back to the hall, while talking to Shi Yingxue.
explain.
Behemoths like Beidou Sword Sect and Zhenwu Sect may have thousands or hundreds of disciples in each generation. These disciples are as numerous as crucian carp crossing the river, but those who can be written on Chaotianque are only rare.
The same goes for Yunlang Road.
There are not many disciples in each generation of Yunlang Dao. In fact, the number of disciples who can eventually achieve the title of Chaotian Palace, or even become immortals, is not much different from that of Beidou Sword Sect and other sects. Everyone is the same. Among each generation, there are at most
There are three or five who can go to the Heavenly Tower, and in the future, at most one can attain Taoism and become an immortal.
The reason for this is actually very good.
I don’t know if it’s due to the rules of heaven, but the number of monks who go to Chaotian Tower, especially the three Chaotian Towers at the back, has always been very stable.
The first piece of Chaotian Tower records the monks who have successfully broken through to the realm of transformation. There are only a few hundred people in the entire continent, and the three major immortal sects and the five immortal sects account for almost 90%. For example, the island owner of Iceland, Shi Yingxue’s current master
Zun Ting Bing Zhenren, he is such a monk who can shake the world with his hands. Shi Yingxue didn't know that Ye Qingqiu's realm was already so high, but she didn't ask too much. She just felt that asking about her master was not considered a big deal.
What a very polite thing to do.
The second piece of Chaotian Que records the real people who successfully broke through from the transformation state to the out-of-body experience, a total of 108 people;
The third piece of Chaotian Que records the masters who successfully broke through from out-of-body experiences to distraction, a total of seventy-two;
The last piece of Chaotian Que records the venerables who have broken through from distraction to unity, and there are only thirty-six of them in total;
The characters recorded on these three Chaotian Towers are all famous people all over the world, and once someone breaks through or falls, there will be descendants to fill the place; but if no one changes for hundreds of years, then there will be no one among the descendants.
One that can successfully break through.
I don’t know what Tianji intends, after all, no one can understand its mystery.
Compared with before, the spiritual energy is becoming more and more depleted. No matter how many monks have the ability to compete with the heavens and how many better cultivation methods they have developed, the elders can actually see that the cultivation speed of the younger generation is really getting slower and slower.
Chaotian Tower obviously reflects this trend. In the past, Chaotian Tower might change once every few decades or hundreds of years, but now Chaotian Tower has not changed for 456 years. The cultivation of the younger generation is becoming more and more important.
It is slow, and the advancement of high-level monks is even further away.
After the first batch of ancestors ascended to immortality, the number of people from Yunlang Dao who successfully ascended to immortality in the past 40,000 years never exceeded a hundred people. And the remains of these people are slightly different from those left by their ancestors, so they need to be stored carefully, unlike those left by their ancestors.
This group of ancestors who were worshiped by their disciples every month were invulnerable to water and fire, so Shi Yingxue saw only these and no one else.
Shi Yingxue felt a little weird after hearing this, and her eyes could not help but look a little thoughtful.
