Thirteen, Heaven and Earth III
Tongtian Taoist founded the Jie Jiao lineage on Jin'ao Island, and his disciples practiced all over the world, and passed down countless disciples. Although there were many casualties in the Tianhe Catastrophe later, the framework is still there, and there are still people everywhere.
Inheritance. In the past eight years, the disciples have come to Jin'ao Island one by one to recognize their ancestors and return to the sect. They all know that the ancestor will return.
Jin'ao Island has changed from its previous desolate state, and actually has a bit of the momentum of thousands of immortals coming to visit it when Taoist Tongtian was alive.
However, the monks who returned one by one hurried away a few days later. They had only one purpose, which was to find the reincarnation of Taoist Tongtian and protect the growth of Taoist Tongtian.
This is not only true for the disciples of Jin'ao Island's Jiejiao lineage, but also for the Kunlun Yuxu Palace's Chanjiao lineage. Those relatively smaller sects, but still have inheritance, are also looking for their own founders.
, for a moment, the monks in the world were like moths disturbed by the light, flying around in confusion.
In the early morning, at the top of the city of Huling City, Taoist Master Qiu Ming sat cross-legged on the low wall at the top of the city, facing the five-foot high ground, facing the eastern sky, standing motionless, like a sculpture, with the ray of light in the east
The moment the gorgeous sun rays penetrated billions of miles of void and fell into Huling City, Taoist Qiu Ming opened his mouth. He opened his mouth and took a long breath, but no wind and clouds were sucked into his mouth. Qingyang watched from a distance, only
Seeing the little bits of sun essence in the sun's rays being sucked into his mouth.
Qiu Ming Sanren maintained this state for about half a stick of incense. When he closed his mouth, he could faintly see fire clouds spreading from his side face. After about another stick of incense, he opened his eyes and looked towards
Looking at Qingyang, who was also at the top of the city but not close, he said, "The prince came to the top of the city early in the morning to watch the sunrise."
Qingyang smiled and said: "The name of Jin'ao Island is like thunder. I know that the national master is the inheritance of Jin'ao Island Fire Spirit Mother, so I can't help but come to see the wonder of the Taoist priest's practice."
Qiu Ming Sanren smiled and said that he was not embarrassed at all because of Qingyang's praise, because in his heart, Jin'ao Island inheritance is the best in the world. This is the case, so why should he be modest.
"The method inherited by the poor Taoist is to swallow the first ray of sun essence in the morning into the body and turn it into the spiritual power of true fire. It is called "Fire Spirit Holy Yuan Miao Zhen Jue". There are many sects in this world that swallow the sun.
The essence of the cultivation method is absorbed into the body, but when we trace it back to its roots, it is inherited from the Jiejiao lineage of Jin'ao Island."
When Qingyang heard what he said, his heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help but ask: "Taoist Master comes from the largest holy land of cultivation in the world. Would you like to tell me about the power of this world?"
Qingyang's question made Qiu Mingsan a little silent. The silence was fleeting, and then he sighed again and said: "To talk about the general trend of the world, I can only use a random word to describe it. It can be said that it is self-defeating."
The most chaotic time since the evolution of heaven and earth."
"Please ask the Taoist to explain a thing or two."
"Hey, let me tell you about the changes in this world from the beginning to the present. At the beginning of the evolution of the world, all living beings were born in response to the will of the law. Among them are the ancestors of the Witch Clan, the two great emperors of the Yao Clan, and the three Taoist Ancestors.
In addition to the two Buddhas of the Buddhist sect, there are also people with great supernatural powers scattered throughout the world, who are not inferior to them, such as Phoenix, Qilin, Dragon King, etc., but because they did not establish a sect,
There is no inheritance in the world, so people in the world today know very little."
Qingyang listened quietly, feeling familiar yet unfamiliar in his heart.
Qiu Ming Sanren continued: "That era was the most chaotic. Various ethnic groups were fighting, and various factions were preaching. They all wanted to establish the order of the world and hope to transcend the world of reincarnation. However, it ended because of one person."
"who?"
"Nanluo."
"Who is this?" Qingyang heard the name again and couldn't help but ask.
"This man was a relatively junior figure in that prehistoric era, but he came from behind and was extremely talented. Although his magical powers may not be stronger than those of the ancestral witches and Tao ancestors, he just relied on his extremely strong will to conquer the world.
His own swordsmanship merged with reincarnation, and finally the sword transformed the Tianhe River, and all the monks above the immortal path in the world were involved in reincarnation. He wanted to use the power of reincarnation and his own supreme sword intention to wipe out everyone." Qiu
There was a little more sigh in Ming Sanren's voice.
"He is borrowing the power of heaven." Qingyang sighed in the same way.
"Yes, in fact, that river is reincarnation, and reincarnation is nothingness. Even people with great supernatural powers can't touch it, but he just made reincarnation manifest at that moment, and merged with his sword intention, turning into a celestial river sweeping across it."
Qiu Ming Sanren said: "If I were born in that era, I don't need to be a person who knows everything about heaven and earth. As long as I can see the heaven and earth transformed by reincarnation and sword intent once, it will be enough to comfort me for the rest of my life."
Qingyang thought to himself: "It seems that I am the one who was involved in reincarnation by the Tianhe that was transformed by that sword."
However, while he was thinking this way, there was no hatred in his heart. This was because he had lost all his memories during reincarnation, so he had no memory of past lives, and no grudges or hatreds from previous lives. The advantage of doing this
It means that he can practice more peacefully in this life, but the disadvantage is that he knows nothing about the past.
"In that era when Nanluo's sword turned Tianhe into an end, what happened next?" Qingyang continued to ask.
"In the following nearly a thousand years, no special characters appeared. All that remained from each sect were just disciples who had just entered the practice. After nearly a thousand years of cultivation, many people broke through to the immortal path. However,
, there have been many people in recent decades, and one of them can be said to be an outlier. Since his practice, there have been turbulent times, and wherever he passed, the sky and the earth were covered with mist, and killings continued. Although compared to the people in the prehistoric era,
It’s quite different, but it still has a sense of beauty. It turned into a butterfly eight years ago and is still missing.”
"Who is this person?" Qingyang asked.
"This person's name is Chen Jing. He is a disciple of Qianluo Sect. Speaking of Chen Jing, there are many people worth talking about. One of them is Ye Qingxue. This person is his senior sister. Her appearance is even better than that of Chen Jing.
He sat firmly as the great emperor in the heaven that appeared more than twenty years ago, but in the end he disappeared."
Speaking of this, Qiu Ming Sanren found that there are many people worth talking about, but the origins of those people are mysterious. One of them, Luofu Lichen, is the enemy of Jin'ao Island. He will not talk about it, and the others
Even he didn't know the specific origin of those things. When he said this, he suddenly had a feeling that the heavens had appeared and disappeared over the past few decades, which seemed to indicate that the world was about to enter a turbulent era.
"If we say that in the prehistoric period, there were countless people with great supernatural powers in the world, it can be called the first life of this world. Then the thousand years of silence until eight years ago can be called the second life. Now, it can be called the second life of the world.
Three lives." Qingyang said suddenly.
Qiu Mingsan was stunned for a moment, then looked at Qingyang strangely and said, "Yes, I never expected that the prince's ingenuity could determine the age of this world."
"Haha..." Qingyang smiled and then asked: "So, is there anyone with great supernatural powers in the world now?"
"Are you a person with great supernatural powers? I don't know what the prince thinks of people with great supernatural powers. In my opinion, people who can be called great supernatural powers in the world must at least reach the realm of gods before they can barely be called great supernatural powers."
people."
"What is the realm of gods?" Qingyang asked.
Qiu Ming Sanren sighed again and said: "The division of realms among cultivators in the world is also a story. The Nanluo who turned the Tianhe into a sword with a sword once served as a prisoner in the Heavenly Palace of the Demon Clan Emperor.
Lord Tianxing is the number one Star Lord in the world. At that time, he had not yet completed the Great Dao. When he first entered the divine realm, the Demon Clan Heavenly Emperor told him about the division of realms above the Yuan Shen Immortal Path, and how accurate they were.
, so that the world cannot change it, so it has been used to this day. Even the Taoist ancestors quoted it after hearing it." (For details, please see Chapter 90 of "The Era of Humanity")
"Since this is what the Demon Clan Heavenly Emperor said to Nanluo, how could others know about it?" Qingyang asked.
"Because when the demon tribe's Heavenly Emperor Jun told Nanluo, he used his great magic power to speak to the monks above the immortal path in the world. No matter they were practicing in seclusion or what they were doing, they all heard it." Qiu Ming's words were scattered.
As soon as it fell, Qingyang immediately knew the intention of this demon clan emperor. He was trying to accumulate power. Every word and deed he said was Dharma. When his words and deeds were used as standards by the people of the world, then the Dharma he cast would be powerful.
increase.
Although Qingyang has not really experienced it, he has such a guess in his heart. This is similar to the purpose of the Taoist ancestor who established the religion and spread it to the world, but everyone uses different methods.
This is just like the royal way and the domineering way of governing the country. One is a hard and direct way, and the other is a soft and silent way.
"How does the Demon Clan Emperor define each realm?" Qingyang asked.
"Celestial Immortals, Gods, Dao Zhen, Saints." Qiu Ming Sanren said quickly: "Practice is like climbing a mountain, and only those who have become immortals are qualified to climb the peak of the avenue. Those who can truly communicate with heaven and earth have a vague understanding of this world.
People can be regarded as immortals. The realm of "gods" refers to people who have a clear understanding of this world and can transform the avenues they understand into magical powers. This is considered to have entered the realm of gods.
.”
"When a person in the realm of 'gods' has a thorough understanding and knowledge of the avenue that he has understood, and then understands other avenues, he has half-stepped into the realm of 'Tao Zhen'
.'Daozhen' refers to a person who can understand everything in this world. When he combines countless avenues and evolves his own avenue, he has entered the path of a saint."
Where Qiu Mingsan was sitting, a cloud of rising sun lifted him up and landed on the top of the city. He looked towards Qingyang, his eyes were blazing, and he said, "I wonder if the prince is a person in this world or escaped from reincarnation?"
"I was lucky enough to escape reincarnation and escape from that sword." Qingyang said.
"Then you don't know what state the prince is in reincarnation?" Qiu Ming Sanren asked.
