Sword Qi of the heavens

Soon after.

Li Changlan and Zhen Yuanzi appeared in the Heavenly Court and went straight to Tushita Palace.

The boy who was the gatekeeper of Tushita Palace knew Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the earthly immortals, so he did not dare to slack off and hurriedly went to inform the Supreme Lord who was refining alchemy in the alchemy room.

Zhen Yuanzi learned that it would take a few hours for Taishang Laojun to come out.

He was not in a hurry. Instead, he took the initiative to take Zhen Yuanzi to look around in the heaven. When he met some familiar gods, he took the initiative to introduce Li Changlan to the gods.

Although these immortals did not know Li Changlan, they recognized Zhen Yuanzi.

Can go with Zhen Yuanzi.

Not only is he a powerful god with a well-known name, he must also be a hermit in the human world.

Each of the gods introduced themselves with smiles on their faces, and tried to test Li Changlan's origins. Due to his identity as the Bodhi Patriarch, he casually found a pretext and said that he was from an overseas fairy mountain.

Soon.

Li Changlan and Zhen Yuanzi had many gods gathered around them, and they were quite contented.

Calculate the time.

It is estimated that Taishang Laojun has finished refining alchemy.

Li Changlan and Zhen Yuanzi said goodbye to everyone and returned to Tushita Palace.

Taishang Laojun was holding a porcelain bottle in his hand, with a smile on his face. He seemed to be very satisfied with the bottle of elixir he had just refined.

"Zhen Yuanzi, why are you here?" Taishang Laojun asked.

"Why, I can't just look at you when I have nothing to do?" Zhen Yuanzi smiled slightly. He didn't have the slightest humility when speaking to people like Taishang Laojun. He was really as casual as a friend.

"Haha, in my opinion, you can't come here specifically because you are thinking about my elixir. Otherwise, you just listened to Hunyuan Daoguo at Shangqing Tianmiluo Palace a few days ago, how could you come here again so soon? Looking for me?"

Taishang Laojun narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhen Yuanzi jokingly, not believing what Zhen Yuanzi said at all.

Zhen Yuanzi said helplessly: "You, you, you really think that you are good at refining elixirs, and others are always worried about whether your elixirs are successful? This time, I am here to introduce you to someone."

Taishang Laojun was also a little surprised when he heard this.

"Introduce me to someone?"

Talking.

Taishang Laojun's eyes finally fell on Li Changlan, who was standing quietly at the side.

He looked Li Changlan up and down, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Hey, I was born with Taoism, and my body has already achieved the status of an immortal. I am immortal and immortal. Even among the immortals in the heaven, I am an extremely rare high-ranking immortal. Why haven't I heard of such a person? Does the character exist?”

Taishang Laojun walked slowly around Li Changlan, marveling repeatedly.

"It's interesting. Although I practice the path of Taoism, I also have Buddhism in me, and even some auras of demons and demons. There are even many magic weapons and artifacts that only existed in ancient times. It's really incredible."

Paused.

Taishang Laojun suddenly smiled.

"Are you from another world?"

Facing the Supreme Lord, he smiled half-heartedly, with a somewhat playful smile.

Li Changlan was also secretly surprised.

"I admire you. As expected of Laojun, you can actually see that I come from outside the world."

For the first time in so many years, apart from facing Patriarch Bodhi, Li Changlan felt like he was being seen through, as if he was standing in front of the Supreme Lord without any secrets.

However, it's not so much that I'm afraid, but more calm.

"I wonder how Laojun saw it?"

"Haha." Taishang Laojun stroked his beard and said, "My junior brothers and I have retreated behind the scenes for a long time and have stopped fighting with others. Although saying this may make people feel a little arrogant, in fact, Nowadays, the many gods in heaven are obviously far behind in terms of cultivation compared with our senior brothers." "Whether it is one leaf and one bodhi, or many sayings such as three thousand worlds."

"These are facts that can only be understood by those who have reached a certain level of spiritual practice. They are not just arbitrary statements we make to fool people."

"Ignoring others for now, my junior brother Lingbao Tianzun can practice wind and fire again and open up a new world."

"And the ancient gods such as Nuwa and others have already left this world and traveled to the outer world. I don't know when they will return."

Li Changlan nodded thoughtfully when he heard Taishang Laojun's words.

Although he has been practicing for many years, he has recently obtained the Taoist teachings and understanding of the Tao from Patriarch Bodhi. Even if he wants to defeat Sun Wukong, it is just a matter of a few seconds, and it is not that difficult.

Even compared with Emperor Zhenwu, the founder of Demon Dang, Li Changlan didn't feel that he would be weaker than him.

But he is also sensible and will not compare himself with people like Sanqing.

"Old Master, to be honest with you, I have been practicing for many years but I feel that my cultivation has reached a bottleneck. No matter what, my magic power cannot become more profound. I can only start learning in those areas that I have not yet set foot in."

"I don't know. Can Laojun answer my questions?"

Li Changlan bowed respectfully to the Supreme Lord in front of him, and took advantage of this opportunity to directly ask the important question that had troubled him for many years.

Taishang Laojun was not surprised when he learned that Li Changlan would ask this question.

He chuckled lightly and said: "Whether you cultivate the Yang God, kill the three corpses, or become a saint in the physical body, in the end you will stagnate after you achieve perfection in practice."

Li Changlan asked in confusion: "Is this the ultimate level of cultivation for me?"

Taishang Laojun smiled and said nothing, and turned to look at Zhen Yuanzi aside.

Zhen Yuanzi smiled helplessly when he saw Taishang Laojun deliberately playing riddles here.

"You, you, you saw some people coming here to ask for help sincerely, but if you don't explain it properly, why are you deliberately being reserved here?"

"Zhen Yuanzi, let me have a few words with my disciples. Why are you so anxious?"

Taishang Laojun looked at Li Changlan with a smile, knowing that many of the Taoist teachings that Li Changlan had learned in the past were still very close to Taoist teachings, and he had once been a serious transmitter and shoulu, and he had already had an official position in heaven.

However, this official position is not in heaven.

But within his Taoist lineage, it has its own system and has little to do with the Heavenly Court.

"Since you are a member of my Taoist family, I should also have some insights into you."

In the eyes of Li Changlan who was asking for advice seriously.

Taishang Laojun twirled his beard with his hand, looked at the sea of ​​clouds in the distance, sighed softly, and then spoke slowly.

"Your cultivation has indeed come to an end. Therefore, although you are unknown in heaven, your cultivation has long surpassed that of most gods, and cannot compare to you."

Li Changlan looked confused and still couldn't understand.

Has your practice come to an end?

Not to mention Sanqing.

Whether you can defeat beings like Guanyin Bodhisattva or not is a question.

Why did Taishang Laojun say that he had reached the end of his cultivation and could not make any progress?
Taishang Laojun asked: "Do you know that if you put aside your official position and just talk about your own cultivation, what is the difference between you and the current Jade Emperor?"

Li Changlan knew that Taishang Laojun would definitely not mention the Jade Emperor for no reason.

He pondered for a moment and began to think seriously.

Official positions are not considered.

Are you just thinking about spiritual issues?

"I have studied the Golden Light Method of the Jade Emperor's lineage, the Silent Chao God Method, and many other classics such as the Jade Emperor Sutra. I think the differences between them and mine should be mentioned in these contents."

Li Changlan closed his eyes and fell into memories. (End of chapter)
