Changsheng: I, Cao, can see the prompt

Chapter 643: The Origin of Fusion and Tribulation

Ever since Cao Wei took a step back and broke through to the fusion stage, instead of staying in the cave void stage, it was exactly what Zhu Ying wanted.

And now, he has materialized his inner world into the 'Mist of Life and Death' and placed it in the lower realm to absorb the power of all living beings and perfect it.

Regarding this point, let alone those monks who are undergoing tribulation, even those real people in the fusion stage of the same level, as long as they see the "Mist of Life and Death", they will know the clues.

But from beginning to end, whether it was the True Lord of Tribulation or those True Lords of Integration, they all remained silent on this matter in a tacit understanding.

The latter was somewhat afraid of Cao Wei, the new immortal, and did not want to be his enemy.

As for the former monks who were undergoing tribulation, they were putting all their efforts into the final fight for the fruit of immortality, using various means to do so. How could they have the mind to provoke Cao Wei, a troublesome guy with a lot of grudges and karma?

Furthermore, most of the monks who were undergoing the tribulation had witnessed Shi Heng’s breakthrough to the Mahayana stage with their own eyes, and they had barely managed to save their lives from his hands. How could they dare to make enemies with Cao Wei, a monk who was also the reincarnation of one of the Three Corpses of the Immortal?

It is precisely for this reason that, in the two or three thousand years after Cao Wei became a cultivator in the fusion stage, he was no longer subjected to the secret plots by these cultivators who were transcending tribulation as he had been in the past!
Over the years, he has been traveling almost all the time in places like Sakya Heaven, Taiyin Heaven, Baiyu Heaven, etc., discussing the Dao with monks like Jueyue who are transcending tribulation, learning from each other's strengths and making up for each other's weaknesses, in order to perfect the rules of his own secret realm.

To a certain extent, the secret realm derived from the inner world of the cultivator who is undergoing tribulation has shown some signs of transforming into a small thousand world.

After reaching this stage, the cultivator himself has actually become one, almost perfect. He no longer needs to constantly absorb external forces such as spiritual inspiration and spiritual objects like a glutton in order to improve his own cultivation!

And this is also one of the meanings of the name "Fusion Stage"!

However, if a cultivator in the fusion stage wants to further improve his cultivation, he must continue to comprehend the laws in order to perfect his own inner secret realm.

But if one wants to successfully transform the secret realm into a small world, one must at least initially build a set of general framework rules.

With this foundation, if one obtains the immortality fruit bred from the origin of all things in the spiritual world, and uses it as a point of spiritual light to give one's own world the first ray of vitality, then one will achieve Mahayana!

However, human power is limited. Even the simplest rules of the world cannot be perfected by a cultivator who is transcending tribulation alone. He needs a Taoist companion to communicate with each other and practice the great Dao together.

This is a continuous process for the monks themselves, and there is no end to learning.

Of course, there are also Mahayana masters who are not bound by the private interests of one family or another, have no prejudices against other families, and preach the Dharma of the Way and Fruit to lead the way for future generations.

Cao Wei's current practice, the "Zhou Tian Mu Xuan Gong" he learned from the very beginning, was secretly taught by Sakyamuni. The true meaning of this wood-based method is withering and flourishing.

However, during this period, Xuan Ji added fuel to the fire on this basis. She integrated the blood of Rushou Autumn God into the blood of Ju Mang Wood God of Cao Wei to match the true meaning of withering and flourishing!
Of course, He also used the revival of "Hou Tu" as bait, so that the Five Elements Clans of the Lower Xuan Realm were willing to offer the blood and essence of the three clan monks, Zhu Rong, Xuan Ming, and Hou Tu, with both hands.

Cao Wei benefited from this, his bloodline was completed, and he also obtained the stones of the Five Mountains of Yinshan Mountain. During his practice, he understood the Five Elements through the withering and flourishing, and touched upon the reality and emptiness of life and death through the yin and yang, thereby laying the foundation for the path he wanted to practice.

During this process, the two Mahayana monks, Sakya and Xuanji, each used their own methods to lay a good foundation for Cao Wei's practice and enable him to break through to the fusion stage in the shortest time possible!

But no matter what their respective goals are in the future?
At least during this period, their plans were consistent!

This was also what Zhuying and Linglong were happy to see, so they remained silent tacitly, pretending not to know!
With a path painstakingly planned by the Mahayana monks, Cao Wei, who was the reincarnation of the Half-Step True Immortal Tan Shi, had great comprehension and there was no reason for him to go wrong.

This is why he was able to break through from the Qi Refining stage to the Fusion stage in just over two thousand years, and unlike most cultivators, he did not encounter any bottlenecks along the way. Everything seemed to go smoothly!

However, this is only the Mahayana achieved by the "Eternal Life Sutra", which is the method of others. Therefore, those who practice it only have a lifespan of one primordial period, which is a big limitation!
And this is exactly why we need to uncover the mystery of Yuanhui.

Only when a cultivator realizes the great way that suits himself, breaks out of the rut, and gets rid of the traces of the classics taught by the immortal, can he achieve immortality!
Cao Wei is now in the stage of constantly refining what he has seen and understood into rules and integrating them into his own inner secret realm.

During this process, all laws and principles of the Lingxuan Realm where you are currently will also benefit from it.

Although the power of one person is like a stream, the principles of all things are like the ocean that embraces all rivers and streams, thereby strengthening their own origin.

After reaching this stage, the cultivator has already begun to give back to the spiritual world that nurtured him.

However, the rules that one has understood must ultimately be constantly coordinated with the origin of the laws of all things in order to complement and adapt to each other.

If the principles of the universe are like a towering mountain, then the principles understood by the monks who are transcending tribulation are like the young grass and trees just emerging from the soil in the mountain, while those who have achieved enlightenment in the Mahayana Buddhism in the past are like towering trees.

It is not an easy task for a monk to find a suitable place for himself in this mountain.

On the one hand, it is necessary to adapt to the origin of the Tao of all things, and on the other hand, it is necessary to take into account the Tao fruits imprinted in it by the previous Mahayana.

During this period, there will naturally be conflicts among the three. The cultivators who have just gone up the mountain are still too weak, and they will die if they are not careful. Every step they take is like walking on thin ice, and they must be careful at all times. This is the origin of the "tribulation" period!
But if it could really take root and bathe in the sunlight, it would grow from a new grass into a towering tree, just like riding on the wind and seeing the blue sky, sun and moon.

Such people are revered as "Mahayana" in the spiritual world!
And if these Mahayana monks who practice the "Eternal Life Sutra" give their most unique mark to the small thousand worlds derived from their own inner scenes, they can evolve it into a place of practice, and from then on they will be high above all other people and above all other heavens.

At this point in the universe, it has gone through countless calamities without being worn out, and has been untainted by cause and effect. It is always with the heaven and exists with the Tao!
If they could go one step further, like Tian Feng and Di Lin, they could still be immortal after experiencing the destruction of their respective spiritual worlds!

However, they do not have the origin of all laws of their respective spiritual worlds to rely on, just like water without roots and trees without roots. The realm is still there, but the stamina is insufficient, so they are slightly inferior to the three Taoist friends Zhu Ying, Xuan Ji and Ling Long!
If the Linghuan Realm is destroyed, Zhu Ying will follow the fate of Tian Feng and Di Lin, and will never be able to suppress Xuan Ji and Ling Long again.

At that time, He would at most be on the same level as Ju Mang, Ruoshou and other officials of the Five Elements.

According to Zhu Ying's own speculation, if there is no spiritual world as a support, then the cultivator himself will no longer have the possibility of becoming an immortal, which is something he cannot accept!
After all, after practicing for tens of millions of years, it was all in vain. This huge gap between heaven and earth was enough to make people collapse! Although the Mahayana monks who had figured out the mystery of the Yuanhui were no longer restricted by their lifespan, they still had to live to a certain age!
And this age actually depends on their hearts.

If you have a young mentality, the appearance you show will be full of vitality, like the rising sun!

But if they grow old with their hearts, if they do not try to hide it, they will usually appear in front of outsiders as old men or old women, and at first glance they look old and decayed.

At present, if the Mahayana cultivators in various realms are divided according to their respective levels of cultivation!
The ones walking in the front are Sansheng, Heishan, Shuifu and Taihe. The former is the spirit of the immortal weapon "Thousands of Years and Ten Thousand Tribulations Chain", and the latter three are the Yinshan Five Mountains, Tongtian Shuifu and Taihe Realm, which are the three places where souls return to reincarnation and attain spiritual enlightenment.

But now, only the present body is left of the "Three Lives", while the past body and the future body are involved in the long river of time, connecting Shuifu and Taihe.

The next ones who are slightly worse in terms of age are Zhu Ying, Ling Long and Xuan Ji!
Zhu Ying is the pure bloodline of the innate god and demon Zhu Long.

Looking at all the realms, the only one who can be considered as remaining after the collapse of the ancient gods and demons era is Zhu Ying, except for the half-step true immortal.

However, that person existed at the same time as the innate god and demon Zhulong. When he was creating the world, Zhuying was still inside the egg!

The Linglong Tower, which is Linglong's original form, is also an innate spiritual treasure from the ancient era of gods and demons.

It was only when the tower was destroyed that the original spirit was annihilated, and then a new spirit was born, that is Linglong!
As for Xuan Ji, it was a creature from the first two or three Yuanhuis of the birth of the Five Directions Spirit Realm.

At that time, the Half-Step True Immortal had not yet taught the "Eternal Life Sutra" to all realms, and Xuan Ji was still a handsome young man. With an innocent heart and curiosity, he observed the phenomena in the sky and the laws on the earth, created his own method, realized supernatural powers, and became one of the first batch of Mahayana cultivators in the spiritual world!

If you calculate it, Xuanji is more than 200,000 years younger than Ju Mang, Ruoshou and the other five companion creatures of the Lingxuan Realm.

But now, he has reached the forefront of becoming an immortal, but after years of wear and tear, the young man he once was has lost his former appearance and has turned into an indifferent and ruthless ancient master!
However, a great contract had already been signed between Ju Mang, Rushou, Zhu Rong, Xuan Ming and Hou Tu. If they work together, they will be the most powerful existence in the Three Realms, not to mention that the Great Wilderness Divine Court also has the Ruler of Heaven that can suppress destiny!
That is why no matter whether it is Zhu Ying, Ling Long, or Xuan Ji, they do not want to see Hou Tu revive!
As long as Ju Mang and the other four do not exist in the world, the threat they pose to Zhu Ying and the other two will be greatly reduced!

Below Zhuying, Xuanji and Linglong, the ones who are slightly inferior are Tianfeng and Dilin.

Next are Mingyu, Sakya, Shangfu, Donghua, Tianhuang, Suanni, Mengji, Ao Guang and other Mahayana monks, whose lifespans range from ten to twenty eons, which is called the Mesozoic Era!

Among them, there are some older Mahayana monks. For various reasons, these people have either fallen into a deep sleep or have died!
For example, in the Linghuan Realm, there were three or five such beings before Mingyu. However, in order to support the Linghuan Realm and prevent it from being destroyed, they exhausted their Taoism, returned to the origin of the Tao of all things, and completely perished!

In addition, in the Lingxuan Realm, there are Mahayana cultivators such as the Three Emperors who co-created the "Qingzhe Jue". Because they follow the principles of this realm, they choose the path of merging their bodies with the Tao.

As for the Linglong Realm, in order to avoid Xuan Ji, those Mahayana cultivators chose to retreat from the world!

Next came the new generation of Mahayana monks whose lifespan was less than ten years old, such as Youtu, Kunpeng, Taijiu, Biqing, Taiyin, Jiuling, Zhuqi, Shiheng and others.

The current situation on the surface.

Taiyin cut off his own identity as the reincarnation of the Three Corpses and was temporarily safe!
Mingxin, on the other hand, got in touch with Tianfeng and Dilin, hoping to use their strength to break free from Zhuying's control and avoid being sacrificed to become the Sealing Pillar of Heaven.

As for Shi Heng, ever since he got the 'Half-step True Immortal's Transmutation' from the original body, his strength has greatly increased, even forcing Xuan Ji to avoid him.

At present, Cao Wei has gained the support of a number of Mesozoic and Cenozoic Mahayana monks such as Taiyin, Sakya, and Shangfu, and has thus established a basic base.

At present, he has begun to evolve his own inner secret realm, which has lasted for nearly three thousand years.

As long as a set of general rules can be initially perfected, so that the inner secret realm has enough potential and shows signs of evolving into a small world, it will be possible to break through from the fusion stage to the tribulation stage in one fell swoop!
Once he reaches this level, he will be qualified to compete for the fruit of immortality.

As for the location of the origin of all laws, Xuan Ji and Sakya had already considered it.

Cao Wei is now walking on the road of life and death, reality and illusion, and the ones who currently hold the power of life and death are no more than five people: Zhuying, Heishan, Shuifu, Taihe and Houtu.

Zhuying and Heishan are restraining each other, while Shuifu and Taihe are entangled by the past and future bodies of the "Three Lives".

As for Hou Tu, she is currently in the cycle of reincarnation and is no longer a real living being, but just a concrete concept.

As for the art of reality and illusion, the ones who are well versed in this art are none other than Meng Ji, Boxun and Suanni!

Among them, Suanni is more inclined to the way of illusion and dream, while Poxun is more inclined to the way of seven emotions and six desires, and only Mengji truly practices the way of reality and illusion.

However, Meng Ji's real body had already been refined into a consciousness bead by the Great Wilderness Divine Court. Now only with the help of Xuan Ji has his true spirit partially revived, and his strength is far from its former peak!
It can be said that on the road of life and death that Cao Wei was walking on, there were only some stones of medium size left on the road, which did not block the way.

And if he practices the way of the 'Five Elements', the competition on this path will be the most intense.

After all, many Mahayana practitioners have dabbled in this to some extent.

And because of what happened in Shi Heng before, the tribulation-crossing cultivators who had witnessed the other party's style, wanted to grab as many immortality fruits as possible before Cao Wei made a breakthrough!
After all, in one Yuanhui, only two or three Dao fruits can be produced.

In this Yuanhui, Shiheng has already obtained one, and there are at most two left!
