404 Senior Brother, Ask for Guidance! Ask for a Monthly Pass)(1/2)
Chaos outside the sky
On the vast white chaotic sea, a large clock with a simple shape flashed continuously on the waves.
The whole body of the big bell is surrounded by black and yellow energy, and the five-colored light shines on the heavens.
Different from the anxious appearance when he rushed to Dongjitian, on the way back to the prehistoric times, Xuan Chengzi took Duobao and Huanglong directly into the vast world inside the Chaos Bell, and fished leisurely beside the mountains with a fishing rod in hand.
.
Compared with the experienced spiritual fish in Jinghu Lake, the fish here are still too immature. When they saw the spiritual elixir used as bait enter the water, they immediately started fighting crazily.
At first, the three of them were still addicted to the satisfaction of carrying the pole.
But because the fish were too enthusiastic, the three of them turned into mechanical swings, throwing hooks, and picking up the fish...
After a while, the three of them lost all interest.
Sometimes things in the world are so strange. Things that are too easy to obtain will only quickly become boring and will not be cherished. The more unavailable things are, the more interest will be aroused.
There is also great wisdom in fishing!
Seeing that it was still some time before returning to the prehistoric world, Xuan Chengzi took out the tea set by a clear stream and boiled the spiritual spring water, brewed the enlightenment tea and distributed it to his two junior disciples.
Duobao took the Enlightenment Tea and took a sip. His face showed a strange expression of joy and sadness, which shocked Xuan Chengzi and Huanglong Taoist, wondering if he had been invaded by inner demons.
"I just understood something under the influence of Enlightenment Tea..."
Duobao explained angrily.
Taoist Huanglong's eyes suddenly showed a look of envy.
Although Enlightenment Tea can help people realize enlightenment, it does not have the effect every time it is drunk.
Taoist Huanglong has been drinking a lot in recent years, but there is still only one Taiyi Golden Immortal, and the Da Luo fruition status is far away.
In fact, there are many Xuanmen disciples like him who are stuck in the Taiyi realm.
Like Guangchengzi, Chi Jingjing, Jinguangxian, Qiu Shouxian, etc. are all stuck in the realm of Taiyi.
At this time, among the Xuanmen disciples, only Duobao, Jinling, Wudang, Xuandu, Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, Wuyunxian, and Kong Xuan were the only ones who entered the Daluo realm. The remaining inner disciples, Jing
Ying disciples are basically in the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Of the eight people who entered the Daluo realm, seven were from the Jiejiao sect, while the remaining Xuandu was from the Human sect, and none of them were from the Chanjiao sect!
Although due to the efforts of Xuan Chengzi, Xuanmen disciples are relatively vague about the distinction between sects, some people still care about it.
In particular, Guangchengzi, Chi Jingjing and other disciples of the Chan teaching felt that they had lost face and brought shame to their master.
Xuanchengzi has also considered this issue. If the three masters had not gone into retreat, Master Tongtian and his own master would definitely compare with each other based on their disciples' Taoist realms, and there would most likely be a competition.
Master Laozi will definitely not pay attention to these things. He will either refine elixirs in the Bajing Palace or travel around the wilderness alone on a green bull.
It will definitely be you who suffers at that time.
Not only must we always be on guard against intensifying conflicts between our master and uncle, but we must also find ways to resolve them.
And there is a high probability that he will also become an effective counterattack for his master.
Whenever Uncle Tongtian showed off that his disciples had produced seven great Luo, most of the time his master would say expressionlessly: "Can you beat my apprentice Xuan Chengzi?"
Just thinking about such a scene makes Xuan Chengzi feel terrifying enough.
Fortunately, Master and the others are still in retreat.
I hope that before they leave the border, Guangchengzi, Chi Jingjing and the others can break through the shackles earlier, kill the three corpse insects, and successfully enter the realm of Daluo.
At this time, Duobao turned to look at Xuan Chengzi and said with a wry smile: "Just now I had a glimpse of the direction of progress, but I also saw a huge obstacle in front of me. As long as I overcome this obstacle, I can
Entering the realm of quasi-sage, but..."
At this point, he sighed, shook his head, and said in frustration: "This is a dead end!"
"Um?"
Xuan Chengzi and Huang Long looked at Duobao curiously.
"What's going on? Now that we have understood our true nature and seen the way to the quasi-sage realm, why is it a dead end?"
Taoist Huanglong asked in surprise.
Xuan Chengzi had some guesses in his mind. He looked at the depressed Duobao and said calmly: "The huge obstacle you mentioned refers to me, right?"
Taoist Duobao hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"That's right! The great way I have understood is the only way for me! But since the beginning, senior brother, you have always suppressed me... Although I have tried my best to enlighten myself, but now I have reached the realm of quasi-sage, I have discovered
Senior Brother has become an insurmountable mountain in my heart!
So… I can’t follow this path of self-centeredness!”
Xuanchengzi nodded slightly, already understanding Duobao's helplessness.
The so-called self-respect does not mean to be objectively invincible, but to have the belief that one is invincible.
This is a spiritual practice.
Duobao was very familiar with Xuanchengzi, especially when he saw him fight one against two in Dongjitian this time, not only killing the Demon Fox, but also leaving himself unscathed.
Xuan Chengzi's strength has been deeply engraved in his heart, giving him the idea of being invincible.
In this way, his belief in invincibility was undermined.
It is easy to say that it is easy to rebuild the belief in invincibility, but it is also extremely difficult to say that it is difficult.
As long as he can defeat Xuan Chengzi, he can immediately rebuild his belief in invincibility.
Simple means that the method is very concise and clear, without so many bells and whistles; difficulty means that the method is difficult to implement, which is really no less than a man climbing the ladder to heaven - it is difficult to reach heaven.
That's why Duobao said that he couldn't follow this path of self-centeredness.
Xuan Chengzi pondered for a moment and gave him an idea: "I'm not very familiar with your way of being self-centered, but I have a question I want to ask you - why does your self-centeredness have to be expressed in fighting?"
Duobao was slightly startled, "Elder brother, what do you mean by this?"
Xuan Chengzi said seriously: "Every living being is multi-faceted, but no life is perfect. I think your solemnity should not be limited to fighting, but should be inclusive of everything!
Use your strengths to compete with your enemy's weaknesses, rather than use your weaknesses to touch other people's strengths...
For example, if you compete with me in the art of Tianyan, weapon refining, and treasure hunting...I will definitely not be able to compare with you in any of these!
Aren't you invincible in these fields?"
Duobao seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning, a bright light suddenly flashed in his eyes, and the previous depressed look disappeared in an instant, replaced by a majestic momentum of extreme confidence.
"Eldest Brother is right! I should not be limited to fighting alone... That is too narrow-minded. Now you, Eldest Brother, and Master and the others in the future are the mountains I can only look up to..."
The more Duobao talked, the more excited he became, and traces of Taoist charm spread throughout his body.
After Xuan Chengzi unraveled it, the blockages in his heart disappeared, and all the dust in his heart was gone, and he should aspire to be invincible.
He sat down cross-legged and said, "Brother, please protect me," and then closed his eyes to meditate on the great path.
It is estimated that after his enlightenment, he will most likely enter the realm of quasi-sage.
Taoist Huanglong was filled with envy. He turned to look at Xuan Chengzi and said sincerely: "Elder brother, please give me some advice!"
Xuan Chengzi glanced at him angrily, "Let's wait until you kill the three corpse insects first."
Taoist Huanglong smiled sarcastically. His previous behavior in Dongjitian looked like a nouveau riche who wanted to return his brocade clothes to his hometown (treasures). In a sense, it could also be seen as the trouble caused by the Three Corpse Insects.
At this time, Xuanchengzi's heart suddenly moved, and he had many reactions in the dark.
He subconsciously controlled the Chaos Clock to stop.
Then he glanced at Huang Long and said, "The Taoist ancestor has summoned me to meet you, and you will stay here to protect the Tao for Duobao."
Huang Long nodded repeatedly, "Senior Brother, please go on your own. Senior Brother Duobao, please leave it to me."
Xuanchengzi nodded slightly, feeling quite relieved about him.
The most important thing is that although there are many living beings in the vast world within the Chaos Clock, there are no profound ones.
This vast world was once used as a prison by the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, used to suppress and refine the disobedient races of the ancient world.
Later, after it fell into the hands of Ancestor Minghe, most of the advanced ones inside had their souls extracted to sacrifice and refine their spirit treasures.
Finally, the Chaos Bell was in the hands of Xuanchengzi, and the creatures inside finally saw the light of day.
Those who wanted to return to the primitive world, Xuan Chengzi would let them return to the primitive world after checking that they had no karma. Those who wanted to stay could be regarded as having the opportunity to develop freely.
To this day, the vast world within the Chaos Clock is considered to be full of vitality, with tens of billions of intelligent beings thriving and living here.
The strongest among them has already entered the realm of Golden Immortal.
As a vast world, the living beings in it can achieve the highest level of Daluo Dao Fruit!
By then, maybe he can become a helper to Xuan Chengzi.
Xuan Chengzi was very fond of this world and named it Xuan Lingtian.
When he left Xuanlingtian, he saw a simple Taoist palace floating up and down in the sea of chaos ahead.
As the saying goes, once born, twice cooked.
