"Ghost Immortal?" The cultivators on both sides of the Taoist Palace asked each other questions. They didn't know what this thing was and had never heard of it before. Some cultivators from the present world had heard of this ghost immortal, but no one knew whether it was the same ghost immortal mentioned by Fengdu Zhenjun.
"What kind of Taoist magic is this? Why have I never heard of it before!" Shi Rang of the Guxian Sect who was on the cloud bed was practicing unorthodox magic. He was familiar with magic like ghost magic, but he had never heard of this kind of magic.
"Since they can be called immortals, they can definitely reach the great way and achieve immortality." The Dongzhou cultivators whispered to each other on the cloud bed.
Inside the Taoist palace on the Lingshu Mountain’s fairy peak, you can see groups of Taoists sitting on the clouds, discussing Taoism with each other. For a moment, the Lingshu Mountain Taoist palace seemed to have the feeling of an immortal cave.
The Taoist priest Fengdu sat on the cloud bed on the left, with the white crane boy quietly waiting beside him. Fengdu saw that everyone was talking endlessly, so he asked everyone, "May I ask you, who is the immortal?"
"Those who are immortal are immortals!" Someone immediately expressed his thought.
"Those who escape the six realms of reincarnation and transcend the world are called immortals!" Jia Yi, the founder of Lingshu Mountain, spoke and expressed his thoughts on immortals.
Tai Liang of Yuanshen Dao said it in more detail: "Those who eat air are divine and long-lived, and those who do not eat are immortal and divine! We practitioners are those who eat air, so we are above the mundane world, divine and long-lived, and the so-called immortals are those who do not eat, completely free from dependence on the heaven and earth, immortal, immortal, free and long-lived."
The Taoist priest of Fengdu looked at the expressions of these people. He nodded after each of them finished speaking, and finally spoke as if to summarize: "So, immortals are more about immortality, and the immortality we pursue is just beyond the ordinary sense of transcending the six realms of reincarnation, getting rid of the reincarnation of life after life, and escaping from this sea of suffering in the mortal world."
Everyone nodded, agreeing with what the Fengdu Taoist said.
"But it is so difficult for ordinary people to become immortals in one lifetime. For us, the world has revived, and the road ahead is still unopened. No one can be sure that they can achieve immortality."
Jia Yi, the founder of Lingshu Mountain, seemed to have heard the meaning of Fengdu's words: "Can't it be achieved in one lifetime? Fengdu, you are a ghost immortal, is there any way to continue your practice in the previous life?"
Fengdu nodded and confirmed Jia Yi's guess: "This ghost immortal is to transform one lifetime of seeking the Tao into nine lifetimes of cultivation, and use nine lifetimes to achieve the status of a ghost immortal and an immortal body."
"How is this possible?"
"How to avoid this great road of heaven and earth? The rules of reincarnation?"
"If this ghost fairy can really achieve this, how can it be called a minor skill? This is simply avoiding the monitoring of the cycle of heaven and earth and becoming a fairy directly!"
The Taoist Palace was immediately in an uproar. Even the masters and a dozen fourth-level practitioners could not suppress their shock. If it wasn't for the fact that the person who said this was a Taoist from Fengdu, they would have immediately treated the person who spoke so wildly as a lunatic and driven him out.
However, even though they said this verbally, everyone looked towards Fengdu with burning eyes. Even the many cultivators who were originally having a banquet outside the Taoist Palace crowded to the gate of the Taoist Palace, sat on a small cushion, and listened to the cultivators sitting on the cloud beds discussing the Dafa.
Everyone felt their hearts and minds trembling with shock, unable to control themselves, because ever since the Taoist of Fengdu opened his mouth, they were not discussing ordinary methods of cultivation, much less the so-called fifth-level method of cultivation.
Rather, it is the true method to achieve immortality.
At this moment, this huge Taoist palace seemed to have become a fairy palace where ancient immortals preached, and the real immortal methods were spread out. Everyone seemed to hear the immortal sound and was intoxicated without knowing the time. They pricked up their ears, afraid of missing every word of it.
Fengdu Zhenjun finally spoke: "When I was practicing Dharma in the Heavenly Demon Pond, I discovered that a nameless true fire was gushing out from within my soul. This fire is colorless, shapeless, and invisible, but it can easily burn a person's soul to ashes, just like the poison of the tarsal bones."
"I locked it in a magical instrument, intending to connect it into a spell, but in the end I discovered that this fire had been burning for a hundred years without any spiritual support, but it never went out, just like a magical instrument of an immortal."
"I named it the Nine Nether True Fire, and later spent decades trying to find a way to achieve immortality based on the characteristics of the Nine Nether True Fire. In the end, I created a method for the Ghost Immortal True Spirit Curse. As long as one cultivates to the fourth level in one lifetime, one can transform all of one's cultivation into the Nine Nether True Fire, condense it into the body of a Ghost Immortal and store it."
"This ghost fairy's body not only contains your cultivation in this life, but also your memories of this life. However, it will not awaken in your next life."
"Then you will reincarnate. In your next life, this ghost immortal body will also be attached to your true spirit. You will be naturally influenced by this ghost immortal body and will unknowingly cultivate the Nine Nether True Fire."
"After reincarnation for nine times in a row, the cultivation of each life will be stored for reincarnation. Finally, the cultivation of the nine lives will be refined into one. The body of the ghost fairy will be fully developed, and the memory of the nine lives will be awakened, and you will become an immortal on the spot!"
“However, this ghost immortal status is probably the lowest among all immortal statuses. It only has an immortal body but no object to rely on. Moreover, because it is an immortal body condensed by the Nine Nether True Fire, it is impossible to advance further, and it will be rejected by many spells.”
All of a sudden, all the practitioners on the field quieted down. They began to vaguely understand why the Taoist of Fengdu called this immortal technique a minor one, and why he created this technique to become immortal but was unwilling to practice it.
At this time, someone asked: "What if an accident occurs during these nine lives?"
Fengdu immediately replied: "All previous efforts have been wasted!"
The scene fell silent again. Everyone was amazed and shocked by the exquisite ingenuity of Fengdu's method, but they also sighed at the drawbacks of this great method.
“It is indeed a great method that reaches the heavens, and it is also a method that leads to immortality, but…” The headmaster of Tianjian Mountain kept shaking his head.
Jia Yi and Feng Du were familiar with each other, and he smiled bitterly and said, "Is this also an immortal? In addition to being immortal, this kind of immortal probably has great spiritual power. Even though the current Nanhua Zhenjun Gai Cang is far from being a terrestrial immortal, he is not afraid of him. If he were a terrestrial immortal, I'm afraid these hundreds of ghost immortals would be like chickens and dogs to him."
"Without any Taoist methods, and only seeking immortality, and without any chance to go further, this kind of immortal..." Tai Liang sighed deeply after hearing this. Although the cultivators seek immortality, behind this immortality, there is also the word "free and unfettered".
Without unparalleled Taoist magic, how can one be free? The immortality gained will eventually lead to bullying and oppression. Those present are all practitioners who have founded their own schools. They are talented and qualified, and they are considered to be celestial beings. They will definitely look down on this method.
In short, unless it is absolutely necessary, these people probably will not choose the position of ghost immortal.
However, although everyone said so, many cultivators who were not so confident of achieving immortality had written down this Taoist method. If they could not find immortality in the future, they might be able to seek help from Fengdu and use this Taoist method to achieve immortality. At least there was some hope.
The immortal banquet on Lingshu Mountain ended. Many powerful monks came on clouds during the day and returned under the moon at night. Some low-level monks just flew away slowly on swords and wind.
At the same time, the discussion on Mount Lingshu and the names of many powerful practitioners quickly spread throughout the world again.
In particular, the name of the Fengdu Taoist, who had been forgotten for a long time by many people, appeared in everyone's ears again, including the method of becoming an immortal through the way of ghosts and immortals that he created.
After the founder of Lingshu Mountain and the Taoist of Fengdu discussed Taoism again for a few days, they completely went into seclusion and the gate of the Lingshu Mountain Taoist temple was closed. People all over the world were wondering whether the founder of Lingshu Mountain, Jia Yi, could break through to the fifth level this time, and whether the Taoist method of Qi Refining that he created could be successful.
Fang Xiu then rode on a crane again and arrived at a beautiful mountain near the sea.
"Let's just stop here!"
The white crane landed and turned into a human form. Fang Xiu looked towards the sea in the distance and said, "Since you have turned into a human form and can speak human language, you are no longer suitable to be a mount. You have carried me for many days, crossing thousands of miles from the South China Sea to Dongzhou. I will not treat you unfairly. This book of Ghost Immortal True Spirit Mantra and a Nine Nether True Fire will be passed on to you."
"Thank you, Master, for bestowing upon me the great Dharma!" White Crane Boy said in a childish voice after receiving the jade slip and the copper core ball.
Fang Xiu nodded, without saying anything more, and walked away along the mountains and paths, chanting a verse as he walked. It was the core verse of the method in the Ghost Immortal True Spirit Mantra, the most important secret in reincarnation, which was not even recorded on the jade slips.
His sleeves fluttered, showing his elegance. Although his steps were slow, he walked forward with big strides. After a few steps, he disappeared at the end of the road.
The White Crane Boy listened to the rhyme carefully, kowtowed nine times in a row, then stood up and looked around.
This place is located on the edge of the East China Sea in Dongzhou. Although it is not a Feng Shui treasure land, it can also be regarded as a beautiful place.
The White Crane Boy transformed into a human form, built a hut here and lived there, practicing with all his heart. After many years, he accepted several disciples, founded a sect here, and passed on the ghost immortal's method.
