"There are thirty-six layers of strong winds in the sky, seventy-two layers of evil spirits on the earth, there are caves and star palaces outside the sky, and there is the underworld at the end of the earth."
Now the netherworld has been opened, but no one has actually entered the cave star palace in the sky. It is only heard that the blessed land of Nanhua Zhenjun is a cave star palace in the sky that fell into the human world. "
"Recently, I can vaguely feel the power of the stars in the sky. If I can pull them down one day, I may be able to ascend to the Cave Heaven Star Mansion and truly become a celestial being."
Jia Yi shook his head and explained the difference between the Taoism he practiced and ordinary Taoism.
Monk Hongyuan held the Buddhist beads in one hand and chanted the Buddha's name, then said: "We have all entered the fifth level. It is said that the seventh level is the realm of immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons. If you enter it, you will be immortal, live as long as the heaven and earth, and shine as brightly as the sun and the moon."
"The next six stages, as the realm closest to immortality, how are they different from ordinary realms? How should we practice?"
Next, Fengdu, Jia Yi, and Hongyuan discussed their respective Taoism and speculated about the path to the sixth level at the top of the Leiyin Temple in Lingshan.
Monk Hongyuan talked about the Buddhist Dharma, Master Jia Yi talked about his deduction of the great way to heavenly immortals, and Fengdu discussed the differences between true immortals and ghost immortals, as well as the differences on the path to immortality.
However, all roads lead to the same destination. The three speculated that the difference between immortals and mortals, in addition to the essential difference in immortality, should also be the difference in power.
According to the rumors spread from countless ancient ruins and the underworld, immortals, Buddhas, gods and demons are all supposed to possess the power of the great way of heaven and earth.
The fourth stage achieves immortality, the fifth stage seeks a support and advances to the immortal path. Although some people rely on the blessed land and spiritual realm, some rely on the important weapons of gods and demons, some rely on the heavenly Gang and earthly evil, there are also the palm-held Buddha kingdom and the fetus of gods and demons, but in the final analysis, the most important foundation for the immortal path is to build.
The sixth level is the final threshold to becoming an immortal, and is also the closest to becoming an immortal.
Fang Xiu already knew that the difference between mortals and mythical levels lies in whether or not one has mastered the power of rules.
Every myth has its own rules. Some people can control water, some can control fire, and some can summon storms.
Complex people can evolve plants and control plants, control souls and death, and even space and destiny.
Practitioners may be able to achieve some of these powers, but they are only copying the powers mastered by myths. Only myths know the origin of these powers, and can even create them directly out of thin air without any material.
Therefore, the sixth level envisioned by Fang Xiu is an important key for mortals to move towards myth and immortality. The core of it is to imprint the rules, that is, the power of heaven and earth, on their bodies.
The most common method, naturally, is to let these people gain insights. There are always some geniuses who can gain insights from the nature of heaven and earth.
However, Fang Xiu did not like this way of taking chances. He decided to use his own methods to strengthen this way of perception, and even forcefully branded them with the mark of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.
This method is called overcoming tribulation.
Moreover, even if he was at the sixth level, it was impossible to master the power of the universe in one go. Fang Xiu planned to do it in several steps, one at a time.
Then one has to go through many tribulations before finally becoming an immortal.
As for the details, Fang Xiu was just imagining it. After all, no one had cultivated to this level yet and was capable of overcoming the tribulation and entering the sixth level.
Fang Xiu was still trying to figure out whether it was the three disasters and six calamities, or the nine-fold thunder calamity. Or was it that different calamities were arranged according to the different achievements of each person
The three of them were discussing the Dao on top of the sacred mountain in Xizhou. Fang Xiu was also drawing wisdom from the thoughts and sources of practice of these two top-notch warriors in the world.
But suddenly, in the more distant eastern sky, a big change occurred.
I only saw that suddenly the sun, moon and stars changed their rotation. In a moment, the sun rose rapidly from the east and set in the west.
The cycle goes on and on without interruption.
In just less than an hour, the world went through nine days and nights.
The stars in the sky that were originally covered by the light of the sun suddenly lit up, and then suddenly went out. The stars in the sky continued to change with the rising and setting of the sun.
"What's going on?"
"Has the weather changed?"
"The sky is showing strange signs."
The monks and disciples in the Lingshan Leiyin Temple also stood up one by one and looked up at the sky. Many monks talked about it. Some were horrified, some had bitter looks on their faces, and some chanted Buddhist scriptures calmly, as if they were in their own world.
Monk Hongyuan stood up and said, "Every time the heaven and earth show strange signs, it indicates that the mountain and sea world will recover further. Perhaps this indicates that new changes are about to come!"
Jia Yi Zhenjun stood up and said: "In the past, the sun suddenly shone and illuminated the world. I didn't expect that many years later, I would see such a miracle again."
The Taoist priest from Fengdu raised his hand and pointed towards the end of the sky, and saw a fire filling the sky in the distant east.
The commotion was so big that even Xizhou could see it, not to mention the other three continents. At this moment, no matter whether it was the creatures of each continent, the aquatic creatures in the four seas, or the alien beasts in the mountains and seas, they all looked up there.
The sun is the foundation of all living things. If anything happens to the sun, no one in this mountain and sea will be able to survive, except for creatures above level four.
Monk Hongyuan also stopped pinching the Buddhist beads in his hand and looked surprised: "What is that?"
Every time the sun rose and set, the fire became brighter.
Standing on the Lingshan Leiyin Temple in Xizhou at this moment, you can see the fire occupying half of the sky. In the fire, you can see the eastern sky. A huge tree that is extremely tall and huge, stretching for who knows how many miles, appears in the fire.
Master Jia Yi seemed to remember something: "The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. It is said that where the sun rises, there is a place called Tanggu."
Master Jia Yi looked at the giant tree that appeared in the eastern sky and said, "Could that be the legendary Fusang sacred tree?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the sun rising again from the east.
This time, the Fusang sacred tree bloomed with thousands of lights and even completely merged with the sun. After a long time, as the sun gradually moved away, it gradually went out.
In heaven, in the celestial palace.
A being sitting on the throne of the Emperor of Heaven, looking at the magnificent stars in the sky shattered, suppressed the changes in the entire world.
Then, the existence that entered the world of mountains and seas as the stars shattered was sent to the easternmost part of the mountains and seas, and fell into the valley burning with blazing fire.
This scene of drastic changes in the East was recorded in the history books of the four continents. Whether it was the territory of the Dapan Dynasty in the East Continent where many heroes were fighting each other, or the territory of all nations in the South Continent, or the Buddhist Pure Land in the West Continent, there were records of this change in heaven and earth.
When Monk Hongyuan encountered this change, he suddenly stood up.
"I am practicing the Mahavairocana Sutra. Today, after observing this celestial phenomenon, I understand the true meaning of Mahavairocana. I am determined to go to the easternmost land to perfect myself."
Fengdu Taoist and Jia Yi Zhenjun also stood up and said goodbye: "Since this is the case, we will not bother you any more and say goodbye now."
Monk Hongyuan hurriedly left Lingshan Leiyin Temple and crossed the sea to the east, but the golden body of Vairocana Tathagata remained in Lingshan Leiyin Temple, still suppressing the devil's cave and sea of blood.
However, Fengdu and Jia Yi continued to head west, intending to go to Beizhou from here.
When they were passing through the abyss of the West Sea, they happened to see a giant whale flying by with wings as big as a mountain, and it roared like a bull.
It was a newborn Kun. There were few creatures in the Mountain and Sea Realm that had the bodies of gods and demons at birth, but because of this, it was difficult for them to develop intelligence.
As soon as it appeared, all the ferocious monsters and demons in the sea dispersed. No one dared to confront it. Even those who saw the existence of Kun from thousands of miles away began to flee.
Many years ago, when Kun was about to die, he rushed to the Moonset Ruins in the West to die. Now he has reappeared in the world. His aura is so great that it can swallow the world and shake the world for thousands of miles. Even Jia Yi is amazed.
The Taoist of Fengdu suggested, "Kun was born in the Ruins of Moonfall, but it will go to the North Sea. This time it is heading to the North Continent. Perhaps we can go with it."
Master Jia Yi laughed and said, "Riding on a Kun? Wonderful! Indescribable!"
The Fengdu Taoist and Jia Yi saw the giant Kun appear, and they just rode on it and headed north.
The giant Kun didn't take it seriously, or rather, it was as if it just felt like two ants had fallen on its body and it didn't feel anything at all. The two of them even sat on Kun's back, discussing and deducing the magical powers and methods of how the demons could break through to the seventh level.
In this way, the two of them rode the giant Kun all the way across the mountains and seas, entered the North Sea, and finally arrived at Beizhou.
It has now become the territory of the demon country. It is not a demon country of demons and aliens, but a demon country that truly belongs to the big demons and trolls.
However, this place is still in the territory of wild tribes. Only some big demon families or clans from Youdu Fairy Island have truly built their own demon city.
Apart from visiting and meeting some celestial demon families and discussing some Taoism, the two of them did not gain anything else.
The two of them traveled all over the mountains and seas, and finally arrived at the South China Sea. In this place of independent cultivation, they actually gained a lot.
There are tens of millions of islands in the South China Sea, and most of them have cities of monks or independent cultivators. The sea here is no less lively than the other four seas. In the sky, you can often see the monks' magic ships, flying swords or escape lights passing through.
Not to mention that this is the area of the Mermaid Kingdom. Deeper in the area, you can see the overseas paradise of Nanhua Fairy Island. Along the way, the two met various interesting independent cultivators and many immortal cultivators, and witnessed various Taoist methods and magical powers.
He even participated in the legendary mermaid sea market where anything could be bought. Dragon mirages emitted all kinds of illusions such as clouds and sea smoke. Tall painted ships and buildings shuttled through the sea. Several giant turtles carried palaces and cities on their backs and stayed above the sea. There was also a city of the mermaid kingdom under the sea.
Thousands of monks gather here. There are various shops and large auctions. Powerful monks from all continents gather here.
However, the former queen of the mermaid kingdom had already passed away and entered the underworld to serve as the South Sea Jellyfish Yuanjun. The current queen is only the niece of the previous queen, a young mermaid queen. Neither Fengdu nor Jia Yi went to meet her.
For the two of them, this trip not only broadened their horizons, but also gave them a concept and idea of how to take the next step.
At this point, the Fengdu Taoist and Jia Yi Zhenjun also parted ways. Jia Yi Zhenjun returned to Lingshu Mountain in Dongzhou, while the Fengdu Taoist returned to Youdu Fairy Island.
