Volume 8 Chapter 006 Gu Chen’s Search for the Path
As more and more people, including witches and demon monks, came to worship at the Five Elements Holy Land, the number of people in the Five Elements Holy Land increased. In just over a year, it exploded to hundreds of thousands.
.
Whether they are Buddhist forces, witch clan forces, or demon clan powerful men, they all come to the Five Elements Holy Land to congratulate them. From the situation, it is recognized that the Five Elements Holy Land is the strongest force in the ancient wilderness.
For a time, the Holy Land of Five Elements was so beautiful that no one in the ancient wilderness knew about it. Everyone was proud to worship at the Holy Land of Five Elements.
The Five Elements Holy Land not only recruits monks who have entered the path of cultivation, but also recruits mortals with "immortal roots". As long as there is a possibility of cultivating, they will give them a chance.
Just when the mortals and monks in the ancient immortal world were rushing to worship at the Holy Land of Five Elements, Gu Chen fell into sorrow in his heart.
The origin of the five elements in Guchen's heart opens up the realm of the five elements, which is enough to stop the destruction of the five elements from the catastrophe.
However, the Five Elements Secret Realm has a limited area, only a few hundred miles in radius, and there are so many monks in the world, especially mortals, that they are as numerous as stars. It is impossible for Gu Chen to save all of them. He can only save
Very little - very little - very little of it.
With Gu Chen's current strength, he can only open up a secret realm with a radius of several hundred miles. If he wants to expand the area of the Five Elements Secret Realm, Gu Chen's cultivation level must be raised to at least one level. If he can successfully combine the Tao, he can step on it.
Enter the realm of great immortals.
Gu Chen's own utterance law is combined with the original utterance law of the Five Elements. Gu Chen will be able to expand the area of the Five Elements Secret Realm ten times.
Unfortunately, it is not easy to succeed in Hedao. It has been almost a hundred years since Gu Chen entered the early stage of Hedao, and there is still no sign of enlightenment.
To be in harmony with the Tao, you need to let nature take its course. The more impatient you are, the farther away you will be from the 'Tao'.
Gu Chen knows this truth well.
Although the 'Tao' synthesized by each of the great immortals is different, there are always similarities in their types.
For example, there are those who view mountains and follow the Tao. Although they see mountains, different people have different views and understandings in their hearts, that is, they have different "Tao".
Therefore, although the 'Tao' synthesized by each person is different, because the source of understanding is the same, they all have similarities and are also strong and weak.
Observing mountains, observing water, observing changes in wind and clouds, observing the movement of stars in the sky...etc., you can understand the 'Tao' from it and become one with yourself.
If you want to successfully merge with the Tao, you must first choose a source of understanding as your goal. Everything in the world has its own reason for existence. For example, behind a mountain peak, a lake, and every natural object, there is a supreme Tao hidden behind it.
The process of self-harmony is divided into three steps.
Choose a source of understanding as your goal. This is the first step for a monk to become one with the Tao.
After selecting the target, you must understand the existence of the great path from the target. This is the second step.
After comprehending the Great Dao, one must merge with oneself into one. Once combined, one has entered the middle stage of the Great Dao and is known as the Great Immortal. This is the third step.
Now Gu Chen has not even reached the first step. He is still confused as to what kind of 'Tao' he will synthesize.
The first step to harmony is a crucial step.
On the road to spiritual cultivation, what you fear is not the obstacles at a certain level or how strong the resistance you encounter, but the fact that when you are confused ahead, you look in the wrong direction, causing the opposite effect.
Monks are not in harmony with every kind of Tao. Some great immortals who can understand the Tao by looking at mountains and successfully merge the two into one, may not be able to successfully merge with the Tao if they are asked to look at water.
Similarly, if the masters and immortals who can understand the Tao by looking at water and successfully merge the two into one are asked to look at mountains, they may not be able to successfully merge with the Tao.
It is difficult to know which kind of Tao a monk is integrated with. Many monks in the early stages of integration are stuck on this first step throughout their lives. When the end comes, they still don’t know which kind of Tao they are suitable for.
Avenue? Over the long years, I have learned about several avenues, but I have not found any one that suits me.
The supreme road exists everywhere. Everything in the world has its own reason for existence, and there is a "Tao".
How easy is it to discover the "Tao" that blends with oneself from all things in the world?
At this time, the monk's understanding becomes extremely important. People with higher understanding are often more able to sense the connection between themselves and the 'Tao', and can find the 'Tao' that suits them the fastest. Once they know the direction, they can
You can enter the second step of Hedao and realize the existence of the Dao.
Gu Chen's understanding is not low, but after entering the early stage of Hedao for nearly a hundred years, he was busy opening up the Five Elements Secret Realm, and descending the Five Elements Formation to create the Five Elements Holy Land. Therefore, Gu Chen still has a complete idea of which avenue is suitable for him?
No bottom.
The first step of joining the Tao is a crucial step. Whether you can realize the existence of the Tao depends on whether the direction of the first step is wrong. If the direction is wrong, no matter how long it takes, it will only go in the opposite direction.
Doing useless work.
In ancient times, the masters and great immortals who succeeded in Hedao generally took at least two thousand years to take the first step of Hedao.
Searching for direction for two thousand years may sound exaggerated, but in fact, even among the three powerful men in the early stages of Hedao, none of them may be able to find their own direction throughout their entire lives. They spend their entire lives in confusion.
The same masters and great immortals have different cultivation speeds, talents, and understandings. However, even the masters of the masters who succeeded in achieving union the fastest, it took them thousands of years.
The great immortals of the ancient times had tens of thousands of years to slowly explore on their way to understanding the great road, but they did not have time in ancient times. There were only more than a hundred years left before the catastrophe of the Five Elements Rebirth was about to come.
At that time, the five most powerful laws of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth will come to any place in the ancient wilderness, destroying all civilizations and harvesting all life.
If Gu Chen had not found a way to save all sentient beings and all races before the catastrophe of the Five Elements emerging from heaven, then the first struggle against ‘Heaven’ would only result in failure.
Days passed, and Gu Chen lived in the Holy Land of Five Elements, living a normal life with the four girls Xu Ziyuan, Xiaobai, Meng Xianyin, and Siyu. Although the days were peaceful, they were very happy and happy.
Gu Cangqiong wanted Gu Chen to find a grandson for him, but unfortunately, Gu Chen cultivated into a pure Yang body, and all his essence was transformed into pure Yang. He was so domineering that he couldn't compete with Xiaobai, Meng Xianyin, and Siyu's Yin essence.
Combined, no offspring can be produced.
Xu Ziyuan is a body of pure yin, and all the yin elements in her body are transformed into pure yin. Logically speaking, pure yin and pure yang should be able to combine, but in fact, whether it is pure yin or pure yang, there is no impurity at all.
, can no longer be blended together.
When pure yang and pure yin are together, they compete with each other at most and cannot be combined or integrated into one body.
As the saying goes, things must be reversed when they are extreme, and when a thing reaches the state of purity, it is a completely independent individual and can no longer integrate with other individuals.
A peaceful life that lasted for decades!
Even though Gu Chen was in a calm mood, he couldn't help but become anxious in the atmosphere where the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation was about to suppress him.
In less than a hundred years, the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation will come to the Ancient Wilderness Immortal Realm, but Gu Chen has not yet reached the first step of joining the path, has not yet found his direction, and is in confusion.
Every day he looks at the mountains and rivers, the changes in the wind and clouds, the alternation of the sun and the moon, and the movements of the stars...
However, all of this may seem strange in his eyes, but he has no understanding of the 'Tao' at all.
Before finding his own direction, Gu Chen was like a headless fly, scurrying around. He didn't dare to try his luck. He only understood a certain 'Tao' every day, because the chance of success was very high.
, is really too small, and can easily lead to completely opposite results, which will only make the possibility of his success getting smaller and smaller.
Time is like running water, passing away quietly without leaving any trace.
Flowers bloom and fall, spring passes and autumn comes! Year after year passes.
In the blink of an eye, there are only sixty years left before the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation comes to the ancient wilderness.
After living happily for hundreds of years with Xu Ziyuan, Xiaobai, Meng Xianyin, and Siyu in the Holy Land of Five Elements, Gu Chen still has not been able to find his own direction.
"It seems that staying in the 'Holy Land of Five Elements' is no longer an option. In the last sixty years, I still went out for a walk. Although I am basically familiar with the ancient fairyland, I can always get better if I walk more places.
It makes people's minds broader, and they may be able to find the 'Tao' that suits them, and take the first step to successfully join the Tao."
Gu Chen changed his mind and set about rebirth.
In only sixty years, the Five Elements Heavenly Tribulation is about to come. Invisibly, the pressure on Gu Chen's heart is getting bigger and bigger. After living with four women for hundreds of years, Gu Chen wants to be alone to quiet his head and soul.
After bidding farewell to the four girls, Gu Chen left the Holy Land of Five Elements and walked aimlessly south.
Going to the south was entirely Gu Chen's subconscious decision, because Gu Chen's hometown, Leshui City, was just south of Xutian Sect.
Now Xutian Sect has become the Holy Land of Five Elements, and Leshui City has also become Juzhang Lake, but the direction is not wrong. Gu Chen stepped in the void and soon arrived at the former site of Leshui City, above Juzhang Lake.
The statue of Ji Yao was kneeling facing Juzhang Lake, and Gu Chen fell beside the statue.
After taking a look at Ji Yao's statue, Gu Chen moved his eyes away and landed on Juzhang Lake. His eyes passed through the lake and completely took in the ruins of Leshui City at the bottom of the lake.
Although hundreds of years have passed, the ruins of Leshui City are still relatively well preserved because no one has destroyed it at the bottom of the lake.
Gu Chen's eyes fell on the eastern ruins of the Leshui City ruins, which was once the courtyard of the Gu family.
In Gu Chen's eyes, the ancient family courtyard, which had turned into dilapidated ruins, gradually began to become intact...
Soon, the ruins of Leshui City changed in Gu Chen's eyes and returned to what they were hundreds of years ago. People came and went in the city...
Gu Chen's thoughts seemed to have returned to his boyhood, and every bit of what happened in Leshui City came to his eyes. (To be continued.)
