"What a person who knows that there are tigers in the mountains, but prefers to travel to the tiger mountains!"
The moment Hong Yi finished speaking, he was shocked to hear Shen Xiong's words. At the same time, in the sky above the courtyard, the void rippled like water, like a piece of tissue paper being torn apart by life.
"who?!"
Hearing the words, Shen Tianyang and Tie Zhu, father and son, shouted in unison. However, when they looked up and saw the scene of the void being torn apart, their faces changed drastically.
A strong man who can tear apart the void is definitely not something they can match. If someone comes and wants to use the car to do evil, I am afraid that even if they risk their lives, they and their son will not be able to resist it.
"Master!"
Compared to Shen Tianyang, Tie Zhu and his son who were uneasy, the moment Hong Yi heard this voice, his face was filled with surprise. Although they didn't get along for a long time, his familiarity with this voice was deeply engraved in his heart, because it was this voice that changed his destiny.
Sure enough, in the cracks in the void, a slender figure came slowly, but in just a blink of an eye, it crossed the endless void and arrived in the courtyard. If not Jiang Chen, who could come
Seeing the person coming, Shen Tianyang jumped up in front of Hong Yi and warned in a low voice with great vigilance: "Be careful, my benefactor, this person can tear through the void and come here, which means he has survived at least six thunder tribulations." The real person is truly a legend among legends!”
"It doesn't matter!"
Although he had known that his master's cultivation level was unfathomable, Hong Yi was very surprised when he heard what Shen Tianyang said that Jiang Chen actually had the cultivation level of more than six thunder tribulations. But this surprise was also It only lasted for a moment, and then he smiled to himself, waved his hand to Shen Tianyang, and said, "This is my master, Jiang Chen!"
"Ah? He is the Lord Jiang Chen who is going to challenge Hong Xuanji on the fifth day of May?!"
When Shen Tianyang and Tiezhu's father and son heard this, they couldn't help being surprised.
Jiang Chen nodded to Hong Yi with a smile, and then said with great interest: "The old man next to you is very knowledgeable, and he can actually see that the master's move is the method of the Six Tribulations Ghost Immortal!"
At this time, Shen Tianyang had already relaxed. Hearing Jiang Chen's words, he was silent for a while before he responded calmly: "We are members of the Shenjiagou tribe in the south, and we also know a little bit about some rumors about Taoism. That’s why you know the methods of adults!”
Hearing this, Jiang Chen suddenly understood. Although he had been practicing in seclusion during this period, it did not mean that he knew nothing about the world.
Shenjiagou is considered a big force in the south. It is rumored that there is also a great master of martial arts. Unfortunately, it was massacred by the Daluo sect, which was more powerful and powerful. All the property and martial arts secrets were stolen by Daluo. Send away.
Although, for a being like Jiang Chen, Shenjiagou's power was nothing, but as a force with an orderly inheritance, some descriptions of Taoism and martial arts must be clear.
At the moment, Hong Yi hurriedly introduced Shen Tianyang, Tiezhu and his son Xiao Mu to Jiang Chen. These three people were originally the orphans of Shenjiagou. After Shenjiagou was destroyed, they fled all the way to Yujing City, and Hong Yi obtained In order to help each other, he joined Hong Yi's army and served Hong Yi.
When Jiang Chen heard about this, he looked around and couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect that after not seeing each other for several months, you couldn't help but obtain a meritorious service, leave the Wuwen Marquis Mansion, buy such an industry, and have your own family. The confidants are truly amazing.”
"Ahem, this is all luck."
Hearing the master's praise, Hong Yi couldn't help but cough slightly, his face showed a bit of blush, and he quickly turned to Shen Tianyang and said: "Mr. Shen, Tiezhu, Xiao Mu, you go down first, get ready After some tea, I want to entertain Master!"
"yes!"
When Shen Tianyang heard this, he hurriedly pulled Shen Tiezhu and Xiao Mu away. He knew that Jiang Chen was here because he was afraid that he had something to discuss with Hong Yi, but the three of him couldn't be around.
"Master, please!"
Hong Yi led Jiang Chen to sit down in the living room of the manor, and hurriedly asked Jiang Chen: "Master, do you really want to make a date with my father Hong Xuanji?"
Jiang Chen knew what Hong Yi was worried about, so he responded with a smile: "Don't worry, although your father is powerful, he is not just a teacher. Not long ago, when the spring thunder exploded, my teacher had already survived the thunderstorm. You have also seen the great advancement in cultivation. The master just tore through the void. This shows that the master's own Taoism has at least reached the level of surviving six thunder tribulations, but this is by no means the limit of the master. Therefore, Hong Xuanji may not be my master’s opponent!”
Hearing this, Hong Yi thought of his master's ability and knew that his Taoist cultivation had improved again. Six thunder tribulations were by no means Jiang Chen's limit. In this way, even on the fifth day of May, when the bright sun was in the sky, the power of Taoism With such a big reduction, Jiang Chen may not be defeated by Hong Xuanji, not to mention, Jiang Chen is not just a ghost fairy.
As Jiang Chen's direct disciple, no one knows better than him. Not only does Jiang Chen's Taoist cultivation have magical powers, he has reached the realm of thunder tribulation ghosts and immortals, but his martial arts cultivation is also unfathomable.
After some conversation, he finally felt relieved.
Jiang Chen looked at him carefully and said with some relief: "Yes, although you are busy with the imperial examination during this period, you have not given up on your cultivation. Although the progress of your soul cultivation has been slower, your martial arts With diligence, I have reached the peak of Grand Master and can break through to the realm of Martial Saint at any time."
Hong Yi wondered: "However, to break through to the realm of martial saint, one must unite body and soul. Doesn't this mean I have to give up my soul cultivation?"
"how come?"
Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Martial arts and spiritual souls are not incompatible with each other. You see, my teacher is the best example. Later, I will teach you a secret method, which will naturally help you tide over the difficulties."
"Thank you Master!"
When Hong Yi heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed!
This dilemma has been bothering him for a long time. Unexpectedly, the problem that he had been thinking about so hard was solved so easily in front of Jiang Chen. Apart from the joy, he couldn't help but feel very lucky. I am glad that I have such a famous teacher, and I know that I have made many detours in my cultivation.
Just when his mind changed, he heard Jiang Chen say again: "Now, your martial arts cultivation is far better than that of the soul, but this is not good. Wait, my master will give you a ghostly idea. You Absorbing the power of the soul contained in it will naturally strengthen the soul. When the time comes, martial arts will become a saint, ghosts will become an immortal, and their cultivation will be greatly improved!"
"ah!"
The surprise was undecided before, but when he heard that the surprise was coming again, Hong Yi couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Jiang Chen was not a person who liked to talk empty words. That night, he passed on the secret technique of fellow Xianwu practitioner Hong Yi and gave him a ghostly thought to let him draw strength.
He has survived nine thunder tribulations, and his cultivation level is infinitely close to that of the Yang God. The power contained in the thoughts of ghosts and immortals is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Hong Yi is not in the realm of expelling objects, and there is absolutely no way he can refine Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen didn't think so simply of ghosts and immortals, he just let him absorb the power from it.
Hong Yi felt as if his soul had returned to its innate beginnings, bathed in endless power and growing rapidly. In just a short moment, it had broken through the expelling object, revealed itself, and entered the realm of possession. Moreover, In one fell swoop, he reached the pinnacle of possession.
"The barrier between life and death! The transition between life and death! Ghost immortals, ghost immortals... seize the body and reincarnate, dismember the corpse... the mystery in the womb..."
While immersed in cultivation and constantly absorbing the power contained in Jiang Chen's thoughts, Hong Yi gradually touched the barrier between life and death, an invisible barrier.
If he can break through this barrier, he will be a ghost fairy!
This layer of obstacles is very huge, like a vast ocean. It is the barrier between life and death, and it is also the biggest barrier for practitioners of Taoism. If it is broken through, it means immortality. If it cannot be broken through, it will disappear between heaven and earth.
It can be said that Taoist practitioners can only be considered true practitioners if they have cultivated to the level of ghosts and immortals. Otherwise, their life spans are no different from those of ordinary people. After their bodies decay, they will still turn into ashes.
This barrier is the biggest barrier for practicing Taoism. It can also be said that it is the barrier between life and death. Many people are stuck at this juncture!
The past is the birth! If you can't make it, you will die!
Barrier of life and death!
After all, Hong Yi had only been practicing for a short period of time and had insufficient accumulation. Facing such a huge barrier of life and death, even if he tried his best, he would still be unable to overcome it. At this moment, Jiang Chen's voice suddenly came to his ears:
"Boy, don't be discouraged, move forward bravely, and listen to my master's instructions: Essence, blood, vitality, condensation of the holy fetus, innate soul, acquired shape, shaped like a baby, suckling an innocent child. The Central Emperor Xuanhuang, the spiritual leader of all things... ...."
Suddenly hearing the secret and passing it on, Hong Yi suddenly understood. He once again absorbed the power contained in the thoughts of ghosts and immortals, slowly condensed his soul, and stored it in the womb of the essence between the eyebrows, like a baby, with a An innate soul condenses the artistic conception of the acquired fetal shape, mobilizes the essence and blood vitality of the whole body, and uses yang to replenish yin.
Gradually, he felt the innate soul of thought in his soul. I had a real feeling, as if I had used my essence, blood, and energy to breastfeed a fetus, a baby!
Moreover, this baby with thoughts between his eyebrows is actually an ancient god. At first it was just a shadow, but as time goes by, it becomes more and more real. This is precisely because the soul has obtained the essence, blood, yang energy, blood and earth. Nourishing, neutralizing pure yin, increasing strength, is a change from virtual to real.
The power of the divine soul is increasing step by step during this gradual feeding, and the degree of concentration of the divine soul is also becoming stronger and stronger during this step-by-step cultivation.
Hong Yi had forgotten the time during this practice. I don’t know how long it took. Suddenly, he felt the baby between his eyebrows changing. It seemed that it had been brought up to a large size, and its limbs kept kicking, as if the baby was about to come out of the mother's ten-month pregnancy.
As soon as the soul moved, the center of the eyebrows felt swollen and painful, like the pain before childbirth, and the head was like a knife and ax being struck.
"Could this be a sign of the formation of a holy fetus? I have begun to break through the barrier of life and death, and I want to achieve the realm of ghosts and immortals where I can turn around and live forever?"
With a thought in his mind, Hong Yi stopped delaying and immediately moved forward bravely.
For ordinary people, to break through this step, they must spend a lot of blood and Yang Qi to breed the Yins and Gods, but for Jiang Chen, with the help of Jiang Chen's ghost thoughts and huge energy, he can directly ignore these and do nothing. Try your best to break through without any scruples.
"Boom!"
Infused with the power of Jiang Chen's ghostly thoughts, the infant-like ancient god between Hong Yi's brows seemed to have received a huge tonic. It vibrated violently and swelled again, and became more and more intense. The pain in Hong Yi's head, like being struck by an axe, like a childbirth, was ten times stronger again. His whole head and the center of his eyebrows seemed to be about to explode!
The ancient god wanted to burst out of the womb, but the "Jingyuan Upper Womb" literally restrained the expansion of the soul. Every time it expanded and vibrated, the Jingyuan Upper Womb seemed to get stronger when it encountered strength. It was always strong and unbreakable.
Because, while Hong Yi was absorbing the power of Jiang Chen's ghost-immortal thoughts to boost his soul, the masculine energy contained in the Thunder Tribulation ghost-immortal also nourished the aperture of the upper womb of essence.
The soul is so powerful that it wants to break out of the fetus, but the placenta is strong, but it forcibly binds the soul. This situation is like a rising tide lifting all boats. No matter how high the water rises, it cannot submerge the ship. No matter how powerful the soul is, it can't break the embryo of Jingyuan.
"Could it be that the rising tide lifts all boats! If the Tao is one foot high and the devil is one foot high, it cannot break through this barrier? I don't believe it! There is no need to worry about this or that. The sage said, if you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die in the evening. This is the great road! "
Even in Hongyi, everyone worked hard to raise the holy fetus. He had lost his holy fetus, but faced the embarrassing situation of a rising tide lifting all boats, and the baby was forced to conceive. Suddenly, the six-character reading classic "Hearing the Tao in the morning, and dying in the evening" suddenly poured into his thoughts.
Hong Yi originally had a cautious and groping character. When encountering such a situation, I will stop immediately, then study and explore again and again.
But now, he recalled that when Jiang Chen taught him the practice, he had hoped that he would be able to move forward bravely. Combined with a lifetime of study experience, frivolity, passion, masculinity, courage, perseverance... all these things have changed. It became the words "hear the Tao in the morning and die in the evening".
Very simple six words, one thought.
These six words are a very common sage's words, and Hong Yi also knows their meaning.
But never before did he understand the meaning of these six words as deeply as he does now.
"Even if I die in the next moment, I still have to understand the way of ghosts and immortals! The barrier of life and death! What exactly is it? The way of life and death, the barrier of life and death. If you practice carefully and stop when you encounter danger, this in itself is a kind of struggle between life and death. How can you break through the barrier of life and death if you don’t have fear? How can you break through the barrier of life and death if you don’t have the courage to die in the morning and evening?”
After understanding the essence of spiritual practice, Hong Yi absorbed vast spiritual power. At the same time, his soul grew stronger, and at the same time, the energy and blood in his body surged, and his martial arts fists also surged up. Combined with the power of his soul, according to the secret method taught by Jiang Chen, he attacked the barrier of life and death at the same time. , realm shackles.
"Um?"
Sensing the sudden change in Hong Yi's aura, Jiang Chen couldn't help but be surprised: "This kid actually wants to break through the martial saint and ghost immortal realms at the same time. He is so bold, no..."
Before he could finish his thoughts, he saw Hong Yi's aura changing again, his blood rising into the sky, the ancient god emerging from his womb, and the martial saint, ghost and immortal being achieved at the same time? !
