Chapter 256 The True Immortal, the Road to Immortality and the Maid
The Tao comes from the truth to return to its true nature, and the Dharma returns to the wonderful door from the emptiness and darkness.
If the spirit wanders here to get a glimpse of the spirit's meaning, it can lead to a happy and famous immortal.
The sky has ten days and twelve months, and the earth has mountains and rivers depicting gods.
Carrying mountains and surpassing seas is not enough, creating yin and yang to shake the universe.
——"The True Immortal Song of the Human Realm·Anonymous"
…
A true wonderland.
Wu Wan Yuanshen wandered in the sea of stars projected by Sendai, feeling the brightness and extinction of stars, imagining the future prospects of the avenue of stars, and integrated and compared his own avenue with that of the Star God to fill in the shortcomings of his own avenue.
The true fairyland was right in front of him, but he suddenly didn't have any hurry to open the door.
He is meditating and thinking.
Why?
What is the spirit?
And why God?
The Tao Te Ching seems to have some implications for the Dahuang monastic system, but Wu Wang was unable to capture it at this time.
Then go back to the current level of Taoism and ponder some interesting questions.
Anyway, there is no resistance to breakthrough. We should take advantage of such a mysterious state to explore the principles of Taoism.
Wu Huan once read in a book that there are more than ten explanations for what the realm of true immortality is, but the most reliable explanation is generally regarded as this——
[His Majesty Fuxi chose a name casually on a whim, without any deep meaning].
Is that really the case?
Wu Wan thought quietly, but couldn't help but pay some attention to observe the surrounding environment.
There was nothing he could do about it, but the matter of recruiting maids still took away some of his attention.
After getting Wu Wan's formal permission, Lin Suqing became busy.
She looks at a large number of portraits every day, and often has discussions with Elder Miao, and sometimes there are not serious arguments.
Lin Suqing, who rarely took the initiative to go out, went to Fuyu City and stayed there for more than ten days.
It is not a big deal for a sect leader to recruit a maid, and it is not a matter of the sect leader marrying a wife;
However, the Mie Sect has been fully mobilized at this moment. From the elders to the disciples who have only been here for a few years, they are all busy running between the sect and Fuyu City.
Wu Wan's Immortal Knowledge accidentally heard someone mention that the hundreds of magic weapon shops in Mie Zong have been very busy recently, and they have made a lot of money from spiritual stones.
These can be considered unexpected blessings.
Today, the Mie Zong Magic Weapon Shop uses most of its profits to support the operation of the Weapon Refining Grandmaster Alliance, and a small part of the profits are fed back into the Mie Sect.
——From the increasingly gorgeous grave of the old sect leader, it can be seen that the current level of cultivation of the Mie Sect has risen by more than three or four levels.
In just one and a half months, the selection of maids has been mostly completed.
In accordance with Wu Wang's request, Lin Suqing allowed hundreds of ordinary stunning women to enter the 'Third Trial', and formed a maid judging panel with the Great Elder of the Mie Sect, Elder Miao, and Elder Mao as the core.
The jury can make comments, but the final decision rests with Lin Suqing.
What made Lin Suqing a little uneasy was that the places for these three maids... had basically been decided by default.
There was no competition in the entire selection, it was completely shady.
Lin Suqing really had no choice.
She only placed three places at first, and one of them was going to the fox girl from Qingqiu Country who had been left before. She couldn't let people's happiness be in vain.
Of the two remaining spots, one has been promised to Kitano.
Xingtian sent someone to talk about the "righteousness of the Beiye girl" for a long time, and forced him to take a place; the person sent by Xingtian even took out a hair of the leader of the Bear Hug clan.
The implication is that this is the meaning of the leader of the Bear Hug Clan.
How dare she, Lin Suqing, dare to disobey?
Fortunately, Lin Suqing was not frightened by that hair, and specifically told Xing Tian that the maid he chose should not have any identity.
In fact, Lin Suqing was also overly worried. It was impossible for the Dalang clan to let Dalang Guduo come to Wu Wang as a maid. They also wanted to save face.
Lin Suqing really wanted to reserve the last spot for the enthusiastic comrades from Renyu;
Can……
With the exception of the Renhuang Pavilion, people from all the eight pavilions in the human domain sent greetings and recommended seven good maid candidates.
Moreover, every girl is carefully selected by the official forces of the human domain, and they are upright, and some of them even come from famous families.
The water here was very deep, and Lin Suqing felt that she was a little unsure of herself.
If it weren't for Elder Miao who kept coming up with ideas, she would have been in dire straits.
Not only did the ministers of His Majesty Shennong say hello secretly, there were also people who came to her to lobby...
"Miss Suqing, the quantity is so stuck, what's the matter with a few more?"
"Girl Su Qing, don't be too rigid in terms of age. If the overall lifespan is over 10,000 years, then she is still a young girl at over a thousand years old. If that doesn't work, let's change the calculation. Eighteen years and 120,000 months, what?
Sample?"
"Miss Su Qing, the distinction between men and women is so stubborn..."
Lin Suqing almost lost her composure and cursed.
By the way, the male cultivator who said the last half of the sentence was beaten out with a stick by the exterminator.
Wu Huan had no idea what was happening in Fuyu City.
His current state could only allow him to feel the situation within the Mie Sect, and it was very vague.
The breakthrough was imminent, and he gradually could no longer afford to be distracted.
A period of time passed like this, and Wu Wan could not determine how long it had passed. His mind was immersed in the path of transformation that was about to take place, thinking about the word 'true'.
This title set by Senior Fuxi should have connotation.
Wu Wan clearly remembered that when he was looking at the stone tablets left by Emperor Fuxi, he saw several fragments, and the contents were somewhat complicated and confusing.
One of the lines is Fuxi questioning Dao, why living beings cannot live forever.
In another round, it seemed that Emperor Fuxi had given up exploring in this direction, leaving behind a few words of helplessness.
The general meaning of those words is that living beings are born between heaven and earth. They are not accompanied by the Great Dao when they are born, and are bound by the superficial order of heaven and earth intertwined by the Great Dao.
The innate gods place their trust in the innate ways. These ways are above the surface order, so they are not affected by the surface order.
How can living beings not be affected by the superficial order and have the same qualifications for immortality as the innate gods?
The simplest way is to become an innate god.
But Fuxi tried this method for a long time but failed, and seemed to have many difficulties.
'Become an innate god.'
Yuan Shen murmured these five words in the Xiantai Divine Mansion, and Wu Wan's body and Zhou Daoyun began to have greater ups and downs.
At this time, Ling Xiaolan, who was sitting cross-legged in front of Wu Wang, opened her eyes.
She made seals with both hands, and wisps of fairy light bloomed around her, completely surrounding Wu Wan.
The fellow practitioners began to use her as the main method. Not only did Wu Wang not have to be distracted when he broke through, he could also get help from Ling Xiaolan.
Wu Wan’s soul kept whispering:
"If I want to replace him with the Star God, I am becoming an innate god."
'But the Sui Ren clan didn't take the road back then, can I really do it? The Sui Ren clan has completely taken over the Great Road of Fire, but it still collapsed.'
‘Fuxi’s deduction of Bagua is also looking for the answer to this question?’
'What if this idea is wrong? The innate god was born between heaven and earth, and was born as a god. Therefore, the innate god is equal to the creation of heaven and earth.'
'My path is not to imitate others, nor to imitate the late emperor.'
'Why don't you think about it first, what immortal things are there in this world, and then try to find the answer on them.'
A thing of immortality...
Heaven and earth, avenue, stars?
No, immortality should be a relative concept, not an absolute concept; heaven and earth should also have an end, just like a star has a lifespan, and heaven and earth are unlikely to exist forever.
Even if this time scale will be extremely long.
The concept of immortality should be to allow oneself to maintain the independence and continuity of consciousness without the influence of external forces.
Gradually, Wu Wan fell into deep thought again.
Ling Xiaolan was a little surprised to find that the man sitting in front of her showed no signs of breakthrough at this moment.
Have you encountered a bottleneck, or are you not enlightened enough to break through the level?
If you really fail to break through the level the first time, it will be more difficult to break through later than the first time.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiaolan's always calm Taoist heart became a little anxious. The formation of fellow practitioners formed by the two showed signs of dispersing, and he forced himself to return to peace.
She carefully felt the changes in Wu Wan's body and Zhou Daoyun's body, and her expression gradually became confused...
What is he doing?
If you don't make a breakthrough, how can you start digging deeper into your own path?
She seemed to 'see' the bright starry sky and two intersecting galaxies in Wu Wan's Taoist rhyme.
Wu Wang's Taoist rhyme began to become more and more obscure.
Ling Xiaolan's slightly curved eyelashes slowly opened a gap, stared at Wu Wang for a few times, and then let herself sink into the realm of cultivation.
A few more days passed like this.
A magical power suddenly appeared around Wu Wan, and he gently pushed Ling Xiaolan away from him.
Ling Xiaolan watched Wu Wan carefully.
This inner cave was quite spacious and was used as a decoration for Wu Wang's bedroom. When the two were practicing, they placed two futons in the middle.
At this moment, Wu Wan was sitting quietly on the futon, holding Yuan Shouyi with both hands. Starlight began to appear on his body, and these starlights converged between Wu Wan's hands.
The starlight merged into a sea of stars, and the sea of stars turned into rotating round cakes, and these round cakes gathered again.
Ling Xiaolan had never seen such a strange scene. As she stared at it and felt it, her Taoist heart actually had one realization after another out of thin air, and her own Taoism seemed to be trembling.
Half a day later, the starlight began to extinguish.
This "extinguished" situation continued for another half a day, until Wu Wan's palms became empty, interpreting nothingness and death, and turned into complete darkness.
suddenly.
Snapped!
Wu Wang closed his palms and chuckled, without opening his eyes, and said slowly:
"Fairy, tell me, do the stars have thoughts?"
Ling Xiaolan thought carefully, but couldn't give an answer.
Wu Wang has already begun to answer:
“The stars should be thinking, but they think in a different way than we do;
There may be some kind of will in heaven and earth, but this will does not necessarily exist for living beings. It may exist here.
Where is the Dao that allows the Dao to produce the innate God?
Why do innate gods look like innate Tao bodies, and why do hundreds of tribes in the wilderness all look like innate Tao bodies?
What defines these?”
Ling Xiaolan:......
Isn't it a breakthrough to become a true immortal?
How come, it seems like I am trying to break through the extraordinary, but the questions I ask are so difficult to answer.
Wu Wan slowly opened his eyes, and the smile on his lips became warmer.
He said: "I have learned something interesting and I would like to share it with you."
Before he finished speaking, immortal light surged around Wu Huan's body, and his long hair was blown upside down by the immortal power gushing out of his body. Stars quickly condensed from around him, guarding him and surrounding him.
Keep spinning.
Click!
He opened a door and entered a whole new realm.
His own essence, energy, and spirit began to expand rapidly, and his longevity entered a new level.
True immortality is achieved in the ordinary. The breakthrough is so understated and seems effortless.
Wu Wan raised his hand and pointed at Ling Xiaolan, and a ray of fairy light flew towards Ling Xiaolan's chest.
She resisted subconsciously, but she quickly suppressed her instinct and allowed the fairy light to sink into her chest, and she felt a lot of insights in her Taoist heart.
Wu Wang said slowly:
“I feel that understanding the great path is not the only way to practice spiritual practice.
The innate gods were born in the Dao and lived in the Dao. They only existed with the Dao forever, not true immortality.
Is there anything in the world that is more essential, more lasting, and more immortal than the Great Dao?
You can think more."
"this……"
Ling Xiaolan's eyes were full of confusion, and she stood there thinking quietly.
Wu Wan did not tell her what he had realized specifically, because everyone's Tao is different, and telling her would not be of any benefit to Ling Xiaolan;
Wu Wan just sorted out the questions that inspired him to see if he could enlighten Ling Xiaolan.
At that moment, Wu Wan felt as if he had come into contact with the most fundamental thing in the world.
Ling Xiaolan slowly closed her eyes and sat cross-legged in the air. A faint fairy light appeared around her body, and she quickly entered the realm of enlightenment.
Wu Wan waited for a while and was sure that Ling Xiaolan had completely fallen into enlightenment. He did not dare to disturb him anymore. He arranged a few more layers of barriers nearby, turned around and walked out of the inner cave.
The six senses are strengthened, the three qi are gathered together, the immortal platform is increased, and the divine palace is expanded.
Yuan Shen's body is wrapped in a layer of starry clothes, and wisps of insights about the avenue of stars are always flowing in his heart.
He seems to have found the way to immortality; but there are still many obstacles to truly achieve it.
The road is long and long, we will touch up and down... touch...
"Um?"
Wu Wan paused in his steps and frowned. He couldn't be distracted when he broke through before. Now seeing the situation in the cave, he couldn't relax.
What's happening here?
The bluebird landed on the bookshelf and was taking a nap with his eyes closed.
Lin Suqing sat on a wooden chair, holding a small bamboo stick in her hand, constantly tapping her palms, and watching the four figures in front of her.
These four figures...
Forget about the Qingqiu fox girl, Wu Juan had already known about the old aunt leaving this fox girl behind.
Why did that little princess of the Yu tribe with thin wings on her back appear in front of him again!
Didn't you just expel her from the human realm last time and let her go back to Zhongshan?
What does recruiting a maid have to do with her!?
The girl who looked vaguely familiar and was wearing a small leather skirt, small leather boots, and a small jacket made Wu Wang doubt whether he had seen her mother...
From her healthy wheat-colored skin, and her slim and slim waist, we can definitely conclude that this is a little girl from Kitano, and she is not very old, giving her a well-behaved look.
'Su Qing is really thoughtful.'
But in the end this group...
It was difficult for Wu Wan to describe this figure.
It looks human but not human, like an elf walking out of the water. It only has vague outlines of facial features, close to the body curve of a woman, and is also wrapped in a fairy skirt.
Which tribe is this from?
As a maid, what is her main responsibility?
No, why is she in the queue of her maids? What strange attributes has the old aunt awakened?
"Hmm!"
In the corner, Ming She suddenly appeared and coughed for a while. Lin Suqing and the four maids turned their heads to look at Wu Wan's position at the same time.
Lin Suqing stood up quickly. These four girls of different appearances and races also expressed their nervousness in different ways.
The Qingqiu fox girl raised her white tail;
The wings of the little princess of the Yu Republic glowed;
The girl from Kitano's hometown nervously grabbed a wooden stick;
The water ball that seemed to be a creature from the wilderness shook off drops of light blue liquid...
Lin Suqing closed her eyes tightly, glanced to the side, and used her best strength to make the most delicate cry:
"Well, young master, I have a reasonable explanation. Do you want to listen to it?"
Wu Wan:......
What's the explanation? Does he don't want to lose face?
Even if the Emperor of Heaven suddenly appeared, he wouldn't be able to accept such a weird maid!
Lin Suqing immediately pointed to the mass of water and whispered: "Master Cang Xue told me to stay in Xiaoshui. Originally, I only recruited these three people."
"Oh? That's okay."
Wu Wan looked at this unknown creature up and down, and suddenly became a little interested.
