It was already the morning of the next day. The sound of Pei Ziyun's breakthrough alerted Lord Yu Yun. Lord Yu Yun was a little tired. Although he asked for the prince's life, the blow from the emperor's sword still consumed a lot, and his beautiful face was also With paleness.
Seeing Pei Ziyun's change, he stopped Chu Xia's shouting, and waited for the mana fluctuations to disappear. Then Yu Yunjun stepped forward and smiled: "What risks did you encounter this time when you went to the underworld to be expelled? No matter what, congratulations on your success. The seventh level."
"Junior brother, you are so awesome." Chu Xia stopped patrolling and looked at Pei Ziyun with wide eyes.
"Haha!" Pei Ziyun stood up on the altar, walked a few steps, thought for a while, and did not tell the story of meeting the Earth Immortal to make Master and Chu Xia worry. He just smiled and said: "It's not the seventh level, it's the third level. Eight layers, I got the opportunity. Not only did I get back all the marks I projected from the underworld, but I also avoided the grinding time. I feel that I am only one step away from immortality. If I get immortality, the Yin God will not grow old. The next step is to advance to the Earth Immortal."
"call"
Both Yu Yunjun and Chu Xia were surprised. The seventh level of Yin Shen retrieved the scattered mark, and the eighth level required water grinding to polish it to perfection. If nothing else, it would take at least a year.
Yu Yunjun was startled, but Chu Xia didn't care. He walked around Pei Ziyun and said, "Junior brother, in this case, you will be the first Earth Immortal of our Songyun Sect. Then everyone from any sect will honor me. Pei Dixian’s senior sister, hee hee!”
Chu Xia's teasing filled the room with joy. After hearing this, Mr. Yu Yun on the other side suppressed his smile and sighed, "It's not that simple."
Pei Ziyun was stunned when he heard Yu Yunjun's words, and then frowned: "Master, is there anything wrong with this?"
Yu Yunjun sighed: "You have been too busy since you became the head of the sect. I remember our Daozang, but you only watched the Dao Dharma Department, right?"
"You haven't paid attention to many secrets of Taoism - Earth Immortal is not a realm."
"Fortunately I was prepared."
Saying this, Yu Yunjun took out a thin book from his arms and brought it up. Pei Ziyun took it and opened it. There were four big words written in the beginning: "The Divide of Earthly Immortals"
Pei Ziyun's heart sank and he read on. The opening chapter was very simple. The main idea was why have there been only these few earth immortals for thousands of years
Why is there only one Earth Immortal in a single sect even if there is one
"Hey, if you think about it carefully, it's true. I've never heard of two earthly immortals existing in the same Taoist sect at the same time."
"I really haven't thought deeply about this issue, and the original owner in the previous life has never been exposed to this level and doesn't know about it."
Pei Ziyun thought about it and read on: "You can't become a Taoist without a blessed land, and you can't become an immortal without a cave."
Seeing this, Pei Ziyun frowned, put it down slightly, and asked: "I understand that you can't become a Taoist without a blessed land, but you can't become an immortal without a cave. I have doubts about this."
"Master, I remember the Taoist discussion that the blessed land and the cave heaven are essentially one."
Yu Yunjun was already prepared. Hearing Pei Ziyun's question, he let out a long sigh: "They are the same essence, but there are differences. In fact, the difference between parents and emperors, landlords and the world is only in numbers."
"Originally I didn't want to talk about the difference. This is a hidden secret, but it doesn't matter to you, and you have already touched the threshold."
"What?" Pei Ziyun listened and saw Lord Yu Yun sighing, his expression solemn and melancholy. Even Chu Xia on one side became quiet, not daring to be naughty at all, listening to Lord Yu Yun's words.
"The world is so big that there may be 100 million living people."
"There are many talented and intelligent people among them. Even geniuses may exist from generation to generation. You know, even if there are people who do not have a teacher, they can understand the changes of heaven and man and get a glimpse of the secrets of the Tao, and they may enter the Tao and become Yinshen."
"This is the great master in the mortal world."
"But if there is no blessed land to provide spiritual energy, non-geniuses cannot be promoted to Yin Shen. If I am a genius, will the next generation be the same? If the next generation is the same, then the next generation will be the same?"
"So even if casual cultivators have the Taoist teachings, it is difficult to form a stable inheritance."
"This is the original intention of the Taoist sect that cannot be attained unless it is a blessed land."
"Yes." Pei Ziyun understood this very well. Without fixed assets, you can change your destiny by getting into a prestigious university, but do you guarantee that your descendants will be able to get into it for generations to come
"Cultivation of Taoism does not come out of thin air. It must rely on spiritual energy. Even if you are a genius, without a blessed land, you will only be at the first or second level of Yin Shen."
"Thousands of people from one generation to the next, or even a few from a hundred generations, can cultivate to the point of immortality without relying on the blessed land or the imperial seal."
"So the Blessed Land and the Cave Heaven are the boundaries between immortals and mortals. This has blocked countless people, including geniuses, for thousands of years."
Pei Ziyun nodded, and couldn't help but think of the way he used plum blossoms to obtain the Taoist sustenance. Most of them were mortal geniuses who used their talents to enter the Taoism, but at most they were only at the second or third level of Yin Shen. In the end, it was all in vain. Thinking of this, he was speechless. Silent.
Looking at Pei Ziyun, Yu Yunjun said: "If it cannot be passed down, it is not a Taoist sect. But what is the basis of inheritance? Taoism? No, no, it is a blessed land. As long as there is a blessed land, even if the Taoism is inferior and there are generations of Taoists coming out, it can be Corrections and improvements.”
"The Lingxi Cave of our sect is actually a branch of the blessed land."
"Huh!" Pei Ziyun listened and couldn't help but think of the previous headmaster and Song Zhi. He wanted to use the Lingxi Cave to break through the Yinshen, but there was no chance. He finally relied on the memory of his previous life to obtain the elixir and refine the elixir. Only then can we achieve a breakthrough. This is very difficult. How many Taoists can have such an opportunity
Yu Yunjun paused and then said: "The threshold for earth immortals is even higher. The so-called earth immortals are the immortals of one place. There are no two days in the sky and no two masters in the country. The immortals of this place are just like the emperors of the imperial court. Although they can Father and son inherit each other, but they cannot exist at the same time.”
"And this place has minimum standards."
"The area of Songyun Gate's blessed land is too small and cannot even meet the minimum standards, so I will never be able to become an Earth Immortal."
"The so-called cave sky, the most basic requirement is to meet the minimum standards of this place, so the sun and moon can evolve to form the cave sky."
"That's why Dongtian Dao Sect only has Earth Immortals, while Blessed Earth Dao Sect only has Yinshen."
"Over the past thousands of years, countless Taoist geniuses have reached immortality and failed to become immortals." Mr. Yu Yun looked at Pei Ziyun with some anger and helplessness.
"Isn't it true that my great-uncle who defected decades ago was extremely talented, so why did he still defect from the family?"
"One of the factors is that I have discovered this and want to find other ways to become an Earth Immortal, or a similar Taoist fruit."
"But this is just wishful thinking."
Yu Yunjun took a long breath: "It is said that in ancient times, some people wanted to achieve immortality through elixir refining. Some people reached a level similar to that of an earthly immortal. This is said to be called a loose immortal."
"But Earth Immortals have a steady stream of power from the Earth's veins, and even if they become Loose Immortals, they have to continue to hunt and collect spiritual creatures to sustain themselves. Now spiritual creatures are very rare and on the verge of extinction. This is the result of their brewing. Even if the spiritual being dies, the loose immortal cannot survive."
"There are also people who want to collect incense. They are called gods, not to mention this."
"There are all kinds of ways that no one has thought about for thousands of years? But in a word, a clever woman can't make a meal without rice, and there is little spiritual energy in the world, so it won't work."
"No wonder Xie Chengdong had the Qianji Mountain of the Qi Xuan Sect in his previous life, but he still had to obtain the Wang Yu Mountain to become a Taoist." Pei Ziyun thought to himself.
"Ah" Chu Xia exclaimed, with a worried look on her face, and as if she couldn't believe it. She looked at Pei Ziyun and said, "Auntie, are you saying that it is impossible for junior brother to break through to the Earth Immortal?"
Pei Ziyun didn't speak, his eyes were a little melancholy. He had only been practicing for a few years and had been traveling a lot. Only today did he realize the difference between immortality and mortals. But how could he break through
Is it like Xie Chengdong in his previous life, who dominated all Taoist schools in the world
However, I have plum blossoms, which actually opens up a new path—maybe the reputation can lead to promotion to the Earth Immortal? Can I maintain my promotion
Pei Ziyun was meditating when suddenly, a small plum appeared in front of his eyes, and quickly enlarged into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and the data appeared in front of his eyes.
"Mission: Kill Xie Chengdong and seize the central dragon vein (unfinished)"
Pei Ziyun looked at it and let out a heavy breath. Could it be that the system also believed that only by seizing the immortal dragon vein could one truly have a chance to become an earthly immortal
Also, no wonder the Three Leaves and Two Fruits are said to be powerful. From this point of view, they are natural reserve earth immortals!
"However, the Earth Immortal only has a lifespan of two or three hundred years. In fact, in the long run, there is not much difference from the tenth level of the Yin God." Seeing Pei Ziyun's sad expression, Yu Yunjun said comfortingly. Just as he was about to continue, the armored soldier came in and reported: "Seriously, there is a lady who is asking to see you with a letter from the eldest princess."
"Master, Senior Sister, you have been working hard all night to protect me. Go and rest first. If you have anything to do, we will talk about it later." Pei Ziyun looked at him and said. Lord Yu Yun nodded. Pei Ziyun had something to do and he felt uncomfortable staying here.
Pei Ziyun sent Yu Yunjun and Chu Xia out and arranged for personal protection. Then he returned to the living room and said, "Please come in, Madam."
"Yes, real person." The soldier went out and after a while, he led the people in.
Pei Ziyun looked around and saw a thirty-year-old woman. She was wearing a satin dress, a touch of pink and gold, and a gold hairpin. She had a commanding temperament, and she knew she belonged to a wealthy family.
The lady stepped forward and saluted Pei Ziyun: "I have met the real person. I am here on the order of the eldest princess. I have something to discuss with the real person."
This was a sixth-grade lady named Wen Qian, whom she had met several times. Pei Ziyun was surprised and did not expect that this lady was related to the eldest princess.
And it was rare for the eldest princess to take the initiative to look for her, and why
Pei Ziyun thought to himself, then he bowed to the young woman and said, "Master, on the order of the eldest princess, I make a proposal to you, but you can read this first and you will understand the matter."
After the young woman finished speaking, she took out a folder from her arms. The fold was stamped with silver patterns and looked quite valuable, so she handed it over.
"What's the matter with the mysterious eldest princess?" Pei Ziyun asked. He took the book and read it. As soon as he saw it, he couldn't help but look cold: "Uncle Zhongqin?"
