After hearing this, Li Yan was stunned and understood what the gray-shirted old man meant. Doesn't that mean that the teacher can know everything he does and says in the room? The door is completely useless.
The old man in gray did not give Li Yan any time.
"When the spiritual consciousness is strong enough, it can be used to kill people directly. A powerful cultivator can kill people without them even noticing with just a trace of spiritual consciousness.
When your cultivation is strong enough, your spiritual consciousness can condense into even more powerful spiritual thoughts. You can only slowly explore and know these in the future.
After I came out of seclusion, I waited in the sect for a hundred years, but no one from the four sects returned. At that time, I was already in the early stage of fusion. Although I had gone out to look for the successor when I was in the Spirit Transformation Stage and the Void Refining Stage, I did not find him.
So he went out again to look for the inheritance of his sect. This time he was out for five or six hundred years, but still to no avail. Finally, he broke through the void and came down to the mortal world.
I searched the mortal world for another two hundred years, but still found nothing. But at that time, I got a piece of news that there was a hidden place in the mortal world where the people might have more spiritual roots.
But that place is extremely remote in the mortal world. From the news, we know that even the powerful people in the immortal world in ancient times failed to successfully establish a sect there. As to why, no records have been preserved.
It is only recorded that the spiritual energy there is the best in this world, and there are many people with excellent spiritual roots. However, if you want to get there, you need to pass through dangerous areas such as the strange red thunderstorm.
The level of danger is unprecedented even in the fairy world. It is said that one needs to have at least the cultivation level of the Tribulation Crossing Stage to pass it. After considering it again and again, I decided to go and take a look.
Our sect's lineage cannot be cut off in my generation, but before I leave, I leave a strand of my divine consciousness in an immortal jade box.
This jade box can preserve the divine consciousness for millions of years, and can sense whether the human race within a radius of thousands of miles has spiritual roots. Now I am that divine consciousness, and my body has gone to that unknown place."
The old man looked at Li Yan and said.
Li Yan was already numb at this time. He had come into contact with too many magical, or even weird, things today.
Now that the gray-shirted old man said that he was just made up of a divine thought, then if he said so, then it must be so. Therefore, he was no longer surprised and just listened quietly.
“It may be that my cultivation level was already very high, and I overlooked a small matter at the time, which was also a very crucial reason.
Even driving this immortal jade box requires constant consumption of divine power, and my divine power has not been specially refined and cannot be cultivated on its own.
At the beginning, my divine sense drove the jade box to fly across this continent in search, and more than a thousand years passed like this, but the inheritor was still not found.
However, I have discovered by now that this continuous use of the jade box consumes too much of my spiritual energy. If I continue searching like this, my spiritual energy will probably be exhausted in another 500,000 or 600,000 years.
But my real body has already gone away, so I can only use another method. I transformed the jade box into an ancient jade book, and I still live in it.
Afterwards, let this book be found by a monk. Of course, the monks in this world will definitely not be able to decipher the mystery in this book.
Since they have obtained this jade book but are unable to decipher the secrets contained within it, they should treat it as a treasure, and the best way is to carry it with them.
On the one hand, it makes it convenient for you to study at any time, and on the other hand, you can only feel at ease when you carry the treasure with you.
In that case, he will lead me to move continuously, and I only need to follow the movement and search different areas continuously, without having to consume extra spiritual power to drive the fairy jade box.
In this way, this transformed jade book was obtained by one cultivator after another. Some of them were killed and then obtained by the next cultivator. Some carried it with them for hundreds of years and then died, only to be obtained again by other treasure hunters.
In this way, they carried the transformed jade book through one area after another in the mortal world. Ten thousand years passed like this. I found many people with mixed spiritual roots, but still haven't found the right person.
At this time, I found that my spiritual power had been weakened by as much as 60 to 70 percent. At the same time, I also sensed that my original body had not found the person to inherit the throne, and my original body had not died.
There is a connection between me and the original body. If he dies, I will know. If he finds the person who inherits the legacy, I will also know. I think the original body must be trapped somewhere and unable to escape, otherwise he should have been found.
Therefore, I have to continue looking for someone to inherit my skills, but according to the previous method, this divine consciousness can only last for 300,000 to 400,000 years, so I have to think of another way.
This means letting the main divine consciousness fall into a dormant state to reduce consumption, and separating a weaker wisp of divine consciousness from the main divine consciousness to replace the divine consciousness to scan and investigate.
But it is only a weak spiritual consciousness. In order to reduce consumption, it can only scan an area of about a hundred miles in radius and has no attack capability. But this is the best solution.
If this wisp of spiritual consciousness scans the person it is looking for, it will awaken the main spiritual consciousness, and the main spiritual consciousness will naturally assess the person's character and pass on his memory.
However, this wisp of spiritual consciousness can only last for about a thousand years before it dissipates, so every time before it dissipates, it will wake up the main spiritual consciousness and pass on what it has seen and heard over the years to the main spiritual consciousness, and then this wisp of spiritual consciousness will dissipate between heaven and earth.
At this time, the main divine consciousness will separate another wisp of divine consciousness, and then continue to sleep. In this way, the main divine consciousness will gradually be weakened, but this can extend the search time.
In this way, about fifty years ago, the Jade Book was obtained by a Jindan stage cultivator.
Once, when he was traveling, he met a very powerful enemy. He used all his magical powers to escape from the pursuit, but by then he was already seriously injured, and the golden elixir in his body was on the verge of collapse.
After he barely managed to fly back to his cave, he died before he had time to recuperate.
It was not until fourteen or fifteen years later that this cave was accidentally discovered by a young cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage. With his limited skills, he would not have been able to discover this cave.
However, when the Jindan-stage cultivator returned to the cave, he died before he could activate the protective formation, so a small cultivator broke in and got a lot of benefits. Of course, there was also the jade book, so he couldn't help but get carried away and searched every corner of the cave more recklessly.
However, his joy turned into sorrow as he accidentally triggered the cave's protective formation. The young monk was also very smart and fled as soon as he sensed something was wrong.
But even if he was decisive, the formation set up by the Jindan stage cultivator was not something he could withstand, and the young cultivator was still hit by the attack from the large formation during his escape.
When he came out, not only was he dying, but even his clothes and storage bag had been scattered.
As for this storage bag, you just need to understand it as something that immortals use to store things. It can be used to store things of varying sizes through immortal magic. You can look into this later.
After the young monk's storage bag was shattered, in addition to the books that were transformed from the jade box, a jade slip and a paper book protected by fairy magic were also preserved.
The protective magic on the paper book was also shattered and eliminated in the explosion of the storage bag. Not long after, the young monk's soul returned to the underworld.
And so, I continued to sleep, waiting for the next 'destined person' to get this jade book.
One day a few years later, a mortal in a black robe suddenly came here and took the jade book, jade slips, and the paper book that was no longer protected by the immortal magic from the withered bones of the young monk who was building his foundation."
When the gray-shirted old man said this, a vague and strange smile appeared on his already blurry face.
Li Yan thought for a moment and said to the old man.
"This person must be my teacher!"
The blurry figure of the old man nodded.
"You're right. This person is your current 'teacher' - Division Master Ji!"
When he said the word "teacher", he deliberately emphasized the tone and also had a hint of playfulness.
Li Yan naturally heard the sarcasm in the old man's words. He thought that there must be something wrong with his "teacher". He could only vaguely guess that it was related to himself, but he still didn't know what the problem was.
"Your 'teacher' is not from the secular martial arts sect of 'Muying Sect'. That is just a fictitious sect he made up. He is actually from the 'Xunxian Lineage'."
When Li Yan heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt.
"What is 'Searching for the Immortal Lineage'? Looking for the Immortal?"
“It’s similar to what you guessed. No matter how secretive a cultivator is, he still has to deal with mortals for the sake of inheritance or other reasons, just like you today.
Then, they would desire to enter a sect of immortality and obtain the way to immortality.
At first, only a few scattered people went to the mountains to look for immortals, hoping to find immortals and gain their favor and be accepted as their disciples.
But there are many monsters and ghosts in the deep mountains. Often, these people have become food in the stomachs of monsters or souls under the claws of ghosts before they find their own immortal fate.
This is not the result that those who hope to cultivate immortality want, so they slowly come together and work together to find immortality, so that they can take care of each other when they encounter monsters and ghosts.
Although the results were much better than before, there were still heavy casualties.
Later, secular martial artists joined in. Some of them were hired by them, while some joined in pursuit of greater power.
Later, some of them who had spiritual roots really found some immortal gates, and they became disciples of these gates and practiced immortal techniques.
At the same time, some people have found the immortal methods or cave dwellings of dead monks. If they happen to have spiritual roots themselves, they will also embark on the path to immortality.
This further aroused the confidence of those people, and they simply stopped caring about worldly affairs and practiced martial arts together so that they could go deeper into the unknown.
They do not enter the secular world, do not travel the rivers and lakes, and only want to pursue the fate of immortals, so few people in the secular world know about them. They are called "Xianxian Lineage" by immortal cultivators, and Military Advisor Ji is the successor of this "Xianxian Lineage."
After hearing this, Li Yan thought to himself.
"I don't know why my teacher lied to me and said he was from the 'Wood Shadow Sect'?"
This is something he hasn't figured out yet.
"After Military Advisor Ji obtained the jade book, jade slips and the book, he naturally liked them. The paper book and the jade slips were originally a set of immortal arts, named 'Black Night Curtain Green Art'.
The paper book only records the method of sensing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the mantras for the first three levels of the Qi Condensation Stage. The jade slip records the mantras for the fourth to tenth levels of the Qi Condensation Stage, which should be used for the entry of Qi Condensation Stage disciples of a certain immortal sect.
The reason for this design is that the consciousness of those who have just started to cultivate immortality is too weak to leave the body, and they have to cultivate to the third level before they can open the jade slip.
Therefore, the first three levels are usually recorded in paper books, and then protected by the sect's immortal methods. Even if ordinary mortals and some low-level immortal cultivators get them, they cannot open them. "
