Li Yan was thinking in his heart, and at this moment, he suddenly understood the so-called "rules of heaven" that he had understood for a long time and that others had told him.
For Li Yan, he has always known that this would happen, although he has also tried to figure it out carefully.
But where are the "rules of heaven" and what are they specifically? His previous understanding was that they were a kind of immense force of heaven and earth that could not be violated.
Like the "Law of Time", no one can violate it. The two brothers struggled hard but still could not resist the erosion of time and died.
Today, after learning about the "Soul-Devouring Nightmare Beast" incident, Li Yan realized that there are loopholes in the cycle of heaven and earth. He suddenly understood some of the true meanings of the cycle of heaven and earth.
“The law of time can actually be violated. People grow old and die over the years, and the world changes over time.
These seemingly irreversible laws of nature are just because my cultivation is too weak, and I can't even think of resisting them, so I mostly think about how to borrow strength from them.
But if one really cultivates to the Mahayana stage, or even a higher realm of true immortality, one can achieve immortality. Then what is the meaning of the law of time
Turn your hand and clouds will appear; turn it again and it will rain; change the world and create the sun and the moon; the so-called vicissitudes of life can be restored to the way you want in your mind in just a thought!
Just like the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' mentioned in Buddhism, the ultimate purpose of cultivation is to escape the Six Paths of Reincarnation and transcend the cycle of life and death. In fact, it is to escape the shackles of the law and not be in the Three Realms... "
At this moment, Li Yan's mind was clear and he had some kind of enlightenment, although he had actually known these principles a long time ago.
Even some Qi Condensation Stage cultivators know these principles, but they can only be understood through personal experience.
This is completely different from what you know in your heart and what is truly open-minded and focused.
Just like a child who has just learned calligraphy, he will be told how to use the pen to write a certain character, and how to combine up, down, left, and right to make it look good.
The child does not know why he should do this. Even many years later, if he has learned good handwriting and can teach others to do the same, he is still just copying.
It was not until his middle and late years that he would suddenly become enlightened, and his mind would follow his will, his energy would follow his wrist. Only then would he truly understand why he had written in that way in the first place. He would gain enlightenment, and then he would understand everything, and even reach a higher level.
At this time, Li Yan himself did not realize that outside his body, there was a layer of faint golden light, which merged with the scorching sun in the sky and was almost invisible to the naked eye.
Only when a cultivator observes carefully through his spiritual sense can he find a clue.
In this way, Li Yan sat from noon until the full moon rose in the east, and from darkness until the purple air came from the east, but he still didn't realize that time was flying.
The faint golden light on his body also changed color as the day and night changed, always blending in with the surroundings.
This made Li Yan sitting cross-legged between heaven and earth no longer seem so abrupt, as if he could become invisible.
Even though the "Great Dragon Elephant Formation" had been withdrawn at this time, in the eyes of outsiders he seemed to have merged with the mountain, as if he had been here since the birth of the mountain.
In this way, Li Yan sat cross-legged motionless for eight days. When the first ray of sunlight on the ninth day shone on Li Yan, his body, which had been as steady as a rock, suddenly shook.
As he shook the mountain, a strong wind suddenly blew over the mountain, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere. The fish-scale-like clouds in the distant sky suddenly began to surge.
At this moment, Li Yan's eyes suddenly opened, and the aura on his body fluctuated violently, and then suddenly disappeared.
Then the strong wind on the mountain passed by in a flash, and the birds around were frightened and stopped singing, and the world returned to peace.
The fish-scale-like broken clouds in the distant sky had just gathered together and then began to drift slowly again.
"Fortunately I woke up in time. This is not a good place to conceive a baby!"
After waking up, Li Yan looked around and let out a long breath. His eyes revealed a clear distinction between black and white.
Just now, the black lotus throne in his dantian was shining with five-colored light, and the generated energy directly woke up Li Yan.
"The rules of heaven and earth are the big rules, and the five elements in my body are the small rules. In the past, the small rules of the five elements in my body were just born in sequence according to the big rules of the five elements, and they continuously generated magic power.
The real power of the five elements is that the small rules of the five elements in the body are constantly dispersed on the body surface and merged with the big power of the five elements between the rules of heaven and earth.
With every breath, the five elements, big and small, secretly respond to each other, you are me and I am you.
In this way, when I call upon magic power, I can actually draw on the real power of heaven and earth, rather than using magic power to forcibly mobilize the power between heaven and earth.
The power between heaven and earth is complex. Although forcibly urging it can be condensed together according to the method, it is not in accordance with the will of heaven and earth to guide them to explode according to the place and time..."
Li Yan was thinking in his heart, with a smile on his face growing more and more, and at a certain point he stood up.
"It's time to go back to the sect. We have almost prepared the items for overcoming the tribulation over the years. Now we can really try to condense the Nascent Soul!"
Li Yan felt the magical power in his body responding to the heaven and earth. They were ready to move and were already on the verge of being forcibly suppressed.
Then, he stood up, waved his sleeves, and the six giant ice crystal swords inserted beside him suddenly disappeared.
The space twisted slightly, and a small purple flag flew out from the mountain. It was then gathered into the mountain by Li Yan's sleeves and disappeared.
Li Yan's figure revealed on the top of the mountain was extremely difficult to recognize, as if he was just a piece of stubborn stone standing next to the mountain wall.
The next moment, Li Yan recognized the direction and turned into a black light and shot in one direction...
Almost at the same time, in the Lost Continent, in a cave of the Black Demon Clan, Mu Sha, dressed in armor, stood with his hands hanging down.
"I called you here because I am going to give you the forbidden token of this cave!"
A cold voice came from above, without any emotion at all.
Mu Guyue's slender body was leaning on the stone chair, with her heart-warming pair of long legs half stretched and half bent.
"Mother, are you going to look for the ascension node?"
Mu Sha looked up at the beautiful and cold woman above him. He had been mentally prepared for this day, but after hearing Mu Guyue's words, his heart, which had long been honed into a stone-cold heart through killing, was still slightly disturbed.
"Well, I've been preparing for all these years, and now I'm almost ready."
Mu Guyue glanced at Mu Sha below, and looking at the face that looked somewhat like someone else, he could only shake his head slightly in his heart.
Over the years, she had used Mu Sha's bloodline to search for that person several times, but to no avail. When the magic was finally performed, the direction it led went into the void of space.
There are two possible results for this. One is that the person dies and enters the cycle of reincarnation.
Second, that person is too far away from here, and his magic is isolated by the force of space.
"He is a cultivator from the Wild Moon Continent. Could it be that he has returned? Could it be that he has successfully condensed his Nascent Soul and tore through the void and left?"
This was Mu Guyue's speculation. The boy's cultivation method was strange, and she was unable to kill him with just a few strikes. She would not be too surprised that he could form a fetus within a hundred years.
After thinking it over again and again, she gave up the idea of going to the Desolate Moon Continent to kill the boy. The demons were hated by everyone in the Desolate Moon Continent.
Even though she has reached the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, there are still old monsters in the Desolate Moon Continent. If she goes there, not only will she fail to kill anyone, but she might also die first.
She waved her hand lightly, and the two objects flew towards Mu Sha, who subconsciously reached out to take them.
Looking over there, he saw a white jade token, which was the restriction token of this cave.
The jade pendant feels very cool to the touch, and it itself has the effect of calming the mind, and it plays an auxiliary role when worn during cultivation.
The other thing was a black metal projectile, which looked very inconspicuous.
The next moment after seeing the black bullet, Mu Sha’s pupils suddenly shrank and his whole body shook violently.
"Mom, this is... this is the Black Demon God Armor?... This is the Black Demon God Armor!"
Mu Sha’s eyes widened, but he answered the question himself.
If we were to ask what type of magic weapon is most popular among cultivators, it would be the rarest defensive magic weapon.
Just like the piece of animal bone that Mu Guyue once gave him, that thing took Mu Guyue more than ten years to refine, and it could only block the attacks of the Fake Infant Realm at most.
As a giant existence on the continent, the Black Demon Clan naturally has many defensive magic weapons.
But often a magic weapon that can defend against the attacks of a Foundation Establishment cultivator requires at least a hundred magic crystals, which is a pain even for a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Therefore, only those disciples who are prominent in the family and are most respected will occasionally have life-saving defensive magic weapons bestowed by the ancestors.
Among all the defensive magic weapons sold by the Black Demon Clan, the one they dream of most is to own a set of "Black Demon Armor".
The "Black Demon Armor" is divided into three levels: gold, red, and black, but without exception, they are all top-notch in this world.
The gold one can withstand a blow from a late Nascent Soul cultivator, the red one can defend against a middle Nascent Soul cultivator, and the weakest black one can withstand a blow from an early Nascent Soul cultivator.
These can only be refined by a master weapon refiner who has reached the late Nascent Soul stage or above. Not to mention how expensive they are, the refining materials alone can bankrupt a late Nascent Soul cultivator.
The "Black Demon Armor" has another feature, that is, once it recognizes its master, it will hide in the body and can transform into various shapes of clothing or armor with a thought.
For some monks, this not only prevents others from seeing through his defense method, but also has a surprisingly effective effect.
Another equally important point is that it is not easy to arouse the covetousness of others, unless you actively expose yourself or reveal a defensive power that is far inconsistent with your own.
Although Mu Sha had never seen the real "Black Demon Armor", he had read the relevant illustrations and knew its level classification.
Although what he got was black, it would undoubtedly cost his mother, who was in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, almost all of the family fortune.
"Mother..."
Mu Sha couldn't help but say anxiously, but before he could finish, Mu Gu Yue's cold voice came over.
"Go down, and use your blood essence to refine it now. This thing didn't cost me too many magic crystals, and I got it by accident.
I won't spend all my wealth for you and let myself perish in the turbulence of space. I will leave here soon, and you don't have to come over!"
"This... Thank you very much, mother! I hope you take care of yourself. I will go to the fairy world to find you in the future!"
Mu Sha knew his mother's character and would only call him over when it was necessary.
After he finishes explaining his own affairs, he will let me go immediately and never likes to talk to me about other things.
What's more, he had been away for many years and had his own independent cave. He could only come here occasionally with Mu Guyue's permission.
The Black Demons were born to fight, and separation and death are very common to them.
After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, as long as you complete the two death missions of the Black Demon Clan, you will be allowed to ascend.
The first death mission Mu Guyue took was to go to the Desolate Moon Continent, which was an extremely dangerous mission to serve as a vanguard.
Although she failed, she was not the leading cultivator. After verifying that she did not retreat in the face of the enemy, and considering that the Nascent Soul cultivators who returned that time were only three demon generals, almost the entire army was wiped out, she was considered to have completed the mission.
And several decades ago, Mu Guyue took on another mission to enter the White Demon Clan alone and steal a secret military letter from the camp guarded by a White Demon Clan general in the late Nascent Soul stage.
That time, Mu Gu Yue came back covered in blood and was almost seriously injured, but he survived in the end.
