"Little friend Zhao Cheng, I have been famous for you for a long time, and now I finally have the opportunity to meet you."
In a yard in the back mountain, an old man with white hair and beard said with a smile.
At first glance, this man is no different from an ordinary old man. It can only be said that he is an old man with a very strong body.
But Zhao Cheng could feel the volcano-like vitality in the other person's seemingly dry body.
The so-called old body is just born from the heart. The other person's state of mind is old, that's why it is like this.
Even if the other party is willing, just a thought can return him to his youthful and strongest state.
The reason why Mythology cannot live longer than 200 years is not because the physical body cannot survive forever, but because the soul is exhausted. This is the reason why Mythology is stronger than Mythology and can also die.
The spirit of the myth is very powerful, but it lacks the nourishment of matching higher energy, so that it is not only "malnourished", but also unable to stay in the world permanently.
But in fact, there is no shortage of energy in the universe, and there is no shortage of so-called higher energy. The only difference is the higher energy that can be absorbed by the soul.
Zhao Cheng had some understanding of mythology.
According to Zhao Cheng's idea, the myth is in an awkward middle state, transcendent and refined, but not strong enough to directly absorb the free energy in the Taixu universe, or even directly convert matter into energy.
If the water is not deep enough, small fish can live freely, but big fish cannot escape starvation, even if they are more hungry.
At the same time, if Zhao Cheng thinks well, once he can transcend myth, he can reach a state where he can directly absorb the energy of the universe and even convert matter into energy.
At that time, the potential of the Shinto system in reality can be truly unleashed.
"An old friend came to see me before and said that he saw the possibility of transcending myths in a young man. I still didn't dare to believe it at the time. The more I practiced, the more I felt that there was no way ahead and it was a natural chasm.
, it is an abyss that cannot be crossed at all.”
"But now, I believe it."
The old man smiled.
"Little friend, sit down!"
While the old man was talking, he led Zhao Cheng to the stone table under the ancient tree.
While talking, Zhao Chengcheng felt something strange. The person in front of him seemed to be still alive, but at the same time he seemed to be dead.
This kind of death is not the connotation of death in the spiritual realm of saints transcending life and death, but the death of both body and soul.
"I don't know, senior, do you have any advice?"
Zhao Cheng asked, his current state of mind can be said to be that he is high up, overlooking the common people, even if he is a saint, he will only look at him levelly and will not call him a senior.
But it is different for mythological characters. In a sense, the old man in front of him is a real figure standing at the end of the road, the pinnacle of spiritual practice in this world.
There may be a road behind, but it has not been opened yet.
It would be too arrogant for Zhao Cheng to have no respect for such an extremely moral person.
"There are no seniors here. We are all seekers of Taoism and fellow Taoists. I have only walked a few steps further than you."
The old man shook his head.
"There are many talented people in this world. Over the past two hundred years, I have met countless magnificent people, but there are only a few who have the heart to seek the truth."
"With good talent, you may be able to become a saint, or even become a strong one among saints, but if you don't have the heart to seek the truth, you won't be able to realize the myth even if you spend your whole life."
"My friend, do you know the reason?"
The old man asked back.
When Zhao Cheng heard this, he raised his head and glanced at the sky. At this moment, the clouds covered most of the sun, leaving only a sliver of skylight.
Zhao Cheng responded: "It's probably because they lack the determination to seek the truth without regrets!"
From a saint to a myth, that leap will make you invincible if you succeed, but you will be wiped out if you fail. Although the saint's mind transcends life and death, it does not mean that he can survive nine deaths without regrets.
The saint has regrets!
During this period of time, Zhao Cheng read a lot of biographies. These biographies cannot be found outside. They belong to the national collection and only some key figures can be read.
The more he looked at it, the more Zhao Cheng understood how difficult it was to prove the myth.
Throughout the ages, how many geniuses have there been?
But how many people can really do it and seek the truth without regrets?!
Even Zhao Cheng was just a stubborn stone at the beginning.
The most important thing for him to become a saint now is the wisdom of the Hundred Kings, which is the cornerstone of Zhao Cheng's current state.
This is also the basis for Zhao Cheng to be able to sprout the heart of seeking Tao!
Talent can create a master, but it cannot create a strong person.
Because strength is not the same as strength of mind.
Why does the old man in front of him regard Zhao Chengping as equal?
It was not because of Zhao Cheng's talent or his current achievements, but because he felt Zhao Cheng's Taoist heart.
Those who have this kind of heart are the ones in my way!
If the conversation that took place here were spread, it would definitely cause an uproar around the world.
Because the most powerful people are so superior, but Zhao Cheng is regarded as one of his peers.
This kind of affirmation is even more amazing than the national Dragon King project.
…
Afterwards, the two people in the courtyard had a long talk, not about spiritual practice, but about old things.
But for Zhao Cheng, these things are more useful for now than talking about cultivation.
Lin Buhui was born more than two hundred years ago, and his life spanned nearly four centuries, from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the 21st century.
He has a strong miraculous mark of the times.
Of course, what Zhao Cheng gained the most came from Lin Buhui's story about the time when the sword swept across the world.
Xiong Zhao was high-spirited, and when he narrated, his spiritual thoughts also fluctuated accordingly, allowing Zhao Cheng to capture every trace of that great era.
As Lin Buhui said, in that era, the general trend was invincible. Anyone who could understand the trend of the times and draw spiritual strength from it, even if his talent was mediocre, would achieve great results in the end.
And the outstanding ones among them have become myths directly based on this certificate!
Most of today's mythical figures in Yan and Huang were established during that era.
On the contrary, after the troubled times were calmed down, in the next hundred years, although there were myths born, they were sporadic. There might not be one in ten or twenty years, and they were not as bright as the stars at that time.
Even if Zhao Cheng only captured a few traces of the mark, he could still feel the incredibly powerful power of the era.
At the same time, Zhao Cheng also knew that Lin Buhui actually died twenty years ago. It was only because he used the supreme divine way to forcefully extend his life that he was able to survive.
He integrated his lifeline with the mountains and rivers of the sky. Not to mention that he would die soon even if he left this small courtyard.
But if he comes out and wants to kill someone, even if he is also a myth, he can only run faster, otherwise, the opponent still has the ability to exchange one life for another.
Although myths are otherworldly and lofty, they are still human beings after all, and cannot let go of the thousand-year inheritance of Yuntian Dao Lineage. Therefore, this is what can sustain one day, one day.
At the same time, Lin Yuntian also said that if Zhao Cheng can achieve the supreme divine way within ten years, he can come here again and he will definitely gain something.
Obviously, ten years is the last life span of the other party.
…
In the afternoon of the next day, Zhao Cheng descended from Yuntian Mountain, and at the same time, his sword journey to the Nine Provinces officially began!
