Shen Lian pondered for a moment and said, "Do you know if your ancestor's immortal son has passed through those cultivation levels and is now considered immortal?"
Liu Mengde said: "I don't know the level of cultivation that the senior mentioned, because the ancestor and I practice different techniques. However, if you ask the ancestor whether he is immortal, this junior is a little strange. Is it possible that the cultivation level of the elder is so great?" Can’t you feel the Book of Life and Death?”
Shen Lian's heart moved and he asked, "Is there really a book of life and death in this world?"
Liu Mengde was particularly puzzled, because anyone with a certain level of cultivation would be able to sense the Book of Life and Death. But since Shen Lian asked, he told what he knew and said: "This book of life and death is said to be the origin of heaven and earth. It is also a book of famous people. Because all intelligent creatures in heaven and earth have entered this book, their lives and deaths are recorded in it." In the book, the magic power reaches the sky. Once a person is still in the book of life and death, he is worthy of death by the time it is recorded in the book. Even the ancestor of my family has not been removed from the book of life and death. When the end comes, he can only throw himself into hell. Reincarnation is a journey away.”
Shen Lian was a little surprised. He didn't expect that there was such a mystery in this world. The Book of Life and Death really existed, and it seemed to be more powerful than the rumors. It's just that he doesn't feel anything at all. Could it be because he is not a creature born in this world, or there may be other reasons.
Shen Lian continued to ask: "What do you mean by being removed from the book of life and death?"
Liu Mengde said: "Senior, you should know that when we, Xuanmen monks, practice to the very depths, we can integrate the essence, energy and spirit into one body and give birth to the soul. Once we reach this stage, it is not ordinary, and it is also called Earth Immortal, or Earth Immortal, my ancestor is an Earth Immortal, so his magical powers are vast and immeasurable, but this is not the end of practice. After the Earth Immortal, he becomes a Heavenly Immortal, who can understand a certain avenue between heaven and earth and transform it into If you use it yourself, you will then be able to realize the causal connection between the book of life and death and yourself, cut it off, and remove your name from the book of life and death.
The younger generation's practice has reached its peak, which is to understand the great truth about fire between heaven and earth, and practice the Samadhi True Fire that truly captures the purest fire intention in heaven and earth. At that time, it can also be removed from the book of life and death. Senior is very mysterious, but you don’t know the Book of Life and Death. Could it be because you made some mistake when you were reincarnated, and by the way, you cut off the connection with the Book of Life and Death? I would like to ask, Senior, can you tell me what stage of practice you have reached now? "
Shen Lian thought that it seemed that all paths lead to the same goal. The qi practitioners in this world also followed the immortal path of the Yuanshen, but there was no figure like the Tao Master who could set the nine realms of cultivation in one word.
He smiled calmly and said: "According to what you said, I am probably in the heavenly realm."
Liu Meng was dumbfounded. He had no idea that Shen Lian would say that he was in the heavenly realm. After all, although he could not see the depth of Shen Lian, he was still quite proud because of his origin in Xuanzhen Guan.
After all, there are countless living beings, but Xuanzhen Temple has the most outstanding figures in the world, the Seven Xuanzhen Sons. All of them have become Taoist souls, with magical powers reaching the sky, and there are even disciples like his master Mu Zhen who even Daxia must pay attention to. For There are dozens of real people who have registered.
Even in the Yin and Shang Dynasty, where Qi practitioners were the most prosperous, Xuanzhen Temple could become the leading immortal sect among them.
What's more, Xuan Zhen Guan has lasted for thousands of years and is recognized as the authentic Taoist sect in the world.
Even with such a big force, there are no people from the Celestial Realm.
That is a realm that can only be reached by the founder of Xuanzhen Guanchuang Sect. His master Mu Zhen said that if he truly cultivates the Samadhi True Fire, he will have the strength to compete with the 'Great Sage' and step into the heavenly realm, but that is just an expectation. That's it, this realm is easy to say, and those who can achieve it are all the top figures in the world. I am afraid that even King Xia will have trouble controlling it.
After all, even the great sage among demons cannot be subdued by Daxia.
Even with Liu Mengde's knowledge and cultivation in Xuanzhen Guan, he didn't know who else in the world had been removed from the book of life and death. It might take his ancestor Changsheng's son to know.
But Liu Mengde thought of a question. If Shen Lian was in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, why would he be reincarnated? He asked: "Senior said that he was in the Heavenly Immortal Realm. Could it be that he suffered a disaster and has not returned to his full glory now?"
Shen Lian smiled lightly and said: "It is true that I have not recovered to my peak cultivation level now, but it is not necessarily true that I was stronger than I am now. You are still at the level of pursuing strength and cannot understand what I am like now. For example, if you practice to the end, you can obtain the Great Way of Fire, but I once obtained not only fire, but also wood, water, metal, earth, and the five elements. They are all as clear and thorough as reading on the palm of my hand, which is the true fire of samadhi. , it’s not difficult for me to practice it.”
Shen Lian only flicked his fingers, and a wisp of white fire appeared on his fingertips, and the breath of heaven and earth gathered towards the flame on his fingertips.
This is indeed the true fire of Samadhi, but it is not refined and pure, but it is still much stronger than Liu Mengde.
Liu Mengde was in awe at first, but now he is full of admiration.
Shen Lian did not lie. Judging from the power of his soul, he was indeed not as good as when he was at his peak, but his perception of power had changed. At least it was difficult for his past self to hurt him now.
But if he said he was stronger than before, he couldn't say that, because he couldn't hurt his past self now. After all, his soul was incredibly powerful at that time.
After the battle on the Lingtai, Shen Lian's biggest gain was that he clearly understood the way of refining the gods. The exquisiteness of the Great Dream Heart Sutra and the magic method of the devil became his qualifications, leading to "Shangqing Lingbao Naturally Locking the Heart and Concentrating the Soul" "Explanation" is no longer like looking at flowers in the fog, with nothing clear at all.
The Great Dream Heart Sutra and the Heavenly Demon's Mystical Technique are still techniques that seek help from the outside to strengthen the soul, but the "True Explanation of the Supreme Pure Spiritual Treasure to Naturally Lock the Heart and Concentrate the Mind" allows him to directly seek help from within and tap out the powerful and incredible spirit in his own soul. strength.
This is like nuclear weapons in previous lives. When a nuclear reaction occurs, a tiny bit of material can explode with nearly world-destroying power.
"Shangqing Lingbao's True Explanation of Naturally Locking the Mind and Concentrating the Mind" is exactly the supreme method of refining the gods left by Lingbao Tianzun. It has another way of practice that cannot be analyzed by deep training until now. It was naturally unearthed from the depths of his soul. That powerful spiritual power allowed him to absorb and strengthen his soul.
It can even be said that this almost came out of nothing. Shen Lian also had to admit that the existence of Lingbao Tianzun was something that he could not understand at present, and he could not even describe it.
Perhaps you can only understand this kind of existence if you become a person like the Taoist Lord Buddha, but to get to that point, even if it is only one step away, I am afraid it is separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
Just like the Emperor of Heaven back then, who was a thousand times more powerful than Shen Lian today, he still failed and could not compare with the Taoist Lord Buddha.
