Longevity starts with learning.

Chapter 1072 Detachment
"The Law of Foundation... I am the Rule..."

"Detachment?"

Chu Mu pursed his lips, and the fear in his heart slowly dissipated a little.

From this volume of "Nine Revolutions of Profound Art", it is not difficult to see that the legendary fairyland is not really aloof from the world.

This is like the world of immortals in the lower world, where people always have all kinds of beautiful fantasies about the existence of the spiritual world.

The real spiritual world is nothing more than an enlarged version of the lower world of immortal cultivation.

Apart from the fact that the power limit far exceeds that of the world of immortal cultivation and the world is more magnificent, there is not much difference from the world of immortal cultivation.

However, this volume of "Nine Revolutions Profound Art" is absurd in terms of immortal practice!
After all, the Qi Training Stage, and even below the Spirit Transformation Stage, cannot possibly have anything to do with the rules no matter how you look at it.

However, this volume of the Nine Revolutions Mysterious Art integrates the rules of heaven and earth throughout the nine realms of the immortal way.

Judging from the nine realms of the immortal path, it is clear that the immortal world is not entirely populated by immortals as described in legends.

The nine realms of the immortal path, from Qi training to overcoming tribulations. Judging from the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, it should also exist in that legendary immortal world.

This means that even in the fairy world, there are also cultivators in the Qi training stage.

However, the power limit of the fairy world should be far beyond that of the fairy world, and the existence of the fairy world should also be more magnificent and majestic.

This was not too strange, he had guessed it a long time ago.

The special growth nature of the spiritual world, the special nature of the Qingqiu world, and even the transformation of his heaven and earth, also explain a lot.

It is very likely that the fairyland is just another more magnificent spiritual world, it has just grown more magnificently and carries more enormous power.

But the most peculiar thing is that the cultivation of the immortal way has nine levels, from one to nine. The ninth level is to transcend the tribulation, and after transcending the tribulation, one will ascend to become an immortal.

This is something that almost everyone in the spiritual world knows.

But in this volume of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art, there is no difference between the realms of the first to eighth levels, but the ninth level is not the realm of transcendence, but is named... transcendence!
Although it is just a difference in the name of a state, the word "transcendence" obviously also contains a very obvious meaning.

Detached?

When practicing the way of immortality, one gathers great power within oneself. What does one need to transcend?
Or is the world... a cage?

Vague guesses emerged in his mind one after another. With the help of a touch of spiritual light, Chu Mu's mind became clear, but he couldn't help but feel waves rising one after another.

It took him a long time to suppress his heavy thoughts.

All of this is still too far away from him at the moment.

The most urgent task is still this volume of immortal inheritance.

This volume of Nine Revolutions Profound Art seemed... to be able to solve the obstacles that had troubled him for many years.

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly, and he looked around the ninth floor of the Sky Fox Tower which had returned to being empty.

As he accepted the inheritance, the two golden jade pages no longer had any trace left.

But it is obvious that this immortal inheritance is still in the Tianhu Tower.

It's just that it is hidden and difficult for him to perceive.

Chu Mu tried to use his control over the Sky Fox Tower to sense the existence of this immortal heritage again.

But after trying for a long time, it was all in vain.

At this moment, watching the changes in the sky outside the Sky Fox Tower, the "long years" he had experienced in the Sky Fox Tower to accept the immortal inheritance seemed to be just a short moment in the outside world.

And Yun Qingyi did not show any abnormality at all. She stood in the clouds, waiting silently.

Looking around, Chu Mu sat cross-legged, his mind immersed. With the blessing of spiritual light, he once again comprehended this extremely mysterious immortal inheritance.

The Nine Revolutions of Mysterious Skills, the rules are at the beginning, although it seems extremely absurd, but it is obvious that it has been passed down by the Qingqiu Fox Clan for countless years and is listed as the most core inheritance. Naturally, it is not a false fabrication.

It is difficult to cultivate rules in the Qi training stage, but if a master of rules practices this method, then embarking on the path of immortality in the Qi training stage will undoubtedly be a natural thing.

Moreover, if one delve deeper into the context, it is not difficult to see that the general practice of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art is in line with the principle of "I am the rule".

The greatest terror of the "I am the rule" approach to integration is obviously the catastrophe that happens once in a thousand years.

Even if we survive this catastrophe by chance, we can only enjoy a thousand years of peace. Strictly speaking, it is not peace at all.

All I can say is that it is another cycle of thousands of years.

Once you choose the path of "I am the rule", you will be reincarnated for thousands of years until you transcend the calamity and ascend to heaven.

It goes without saying how long it will take and how many hardships it will take to get there.

Besides, no one dares to be sure that after ascending to the fairyland, they can avoid the horrific calamity that happens once in a thousand years!
Of course, a catastrophe that happens once in a thousand years is just the terror that one must face after embarking on the path of "I am the rule".

It is not easy to embark on this path of integration where "I am the rule".

There are three ways to merge with the Tao. The former is to merge the spirit with the Tao, completely abandoning the existence of the physical body and focusing only on the fusion of spirit and soul.

The latter is even more extreme. They completely abandon their essence, energy and spirit, and use their bodies to refine treasures and use the treasures to harmonize with the Tao.

As for “I am the rules”, what is required first and foremost is not only a strong enough understanding of the rules, but also the spirit that can carry the rules.

In other words, the strength of the spirit, energy and vitality must reach a level that can bear the rules.

Only in this way can I use myself as a carrier to control the rules and no longer be subject to any external restrictions. I am the rules in all the worlds!
However, it is obviously not easy to control the rules with spirit.

As far as he knew, if he chose the path of "I am the rule", the strength of his physical body must reach the same level as that of the defensive spiritual treasure.

That is, he is now in the early sixth stage, the realm of Dharma.

The sixth-level treasure corresponding to his fusion realm cultivation level is obviously the Tianling treasure.

If he chooses the path of "I am the rule", his body must be no weaker than the defensive heavenly spiritual treasure.

And this is just the flesh.

The physical body is only one of the aspects of the essence, energy and spirit. There is also the spirit, soul and magic power...

And now, even though he has practiced Taoism for many years and has been cultivating both his Dharma and body, and because the furnace of heaven and earth devours all things, the strength of his body is not weaker than that of the ancient monsters at the same level.

But even so, his current physical strength is still far from the level of a Heavenly Spirit Treasure.

Even if his physical body can withstand the attacks of spiritual treasures of the same level, it does not mean that the strength of his physical body is not weaker than that of spiritual treasures of the same level.

After all, a spiritual treasure that has been tempered through thousands of trials and tribulations and a body of flesh and blood are two completely different concepts.

There is no doubt that the path of integration of "I am the rules", even without considering the horror of a once-in-a-millennium catastrophe, is enough to deter countless people just by the threshold of entry.

Moreover, among the three ways of integration, the "I am the rule" way is not the most powerful one.

By merging the spirit with the Tao, one can gain the favor of heaven and earth, and the blessing of great power in the spiritual world. Even if the spirit is shattered, as long as the true spirit is still there, one can be resurrected with the help of the power of heaven and earth.

The body is transformed into a spiritual treasure, and the treasure is in harmony with the Tao. It is even more of a matter of completely abandoning the essence, energy and spirit, using the treasure to carry the rules and entrust the true spirit. Under the same realm, the power of the spiritual treasure is naturally self-evident.

Compared with the previous two, "I am the rules" in the spiritual world not only has no advantages, but it can even be said to have many disadvantages, making it completely difficult to make any progress.

But the question is, why is it so difficult?

Since it is so difficult to take a step forward, why has this path of integration been passed down to this day and has not been eliminated? Why has it become the mainstream way of cultivation for the human race and even the myriad races in the spiritual world?

Is there some deep secret hidden in this?

You know, these three ways of integration seem to be very different, but in the final analysis, it is just the difference between going with the will of heaven and going against the will of heaven.

It is precisely because of this reason that he has always found it difficult to make a decision.

One step wrong, step by step wrong.

Once you make a mistake in following the rules, there is no turning back.

And now, this volume of "Nine Revolutions of Profound Art" inherited from the immortals actually fits the principle of "I am the rule" in this integration.

Does this mean that this seemingly unfaithful and risk-taking approach, which is filled with numerous drawbacks, is actually the best solution among the three paths of integration?

Moreover, the ninth realm of the Nine Revolutions Profound Art is the realm of "transcendence"!
Transcendence...

I am the rule, I go against the will of heaven... and ultimately... transcend heaven and earth?

Faintly, Chu Mu felt that he might have touched upon the deepest secrets of this world, and even the entire magnificent immortal system.

It took a long time for Chu Mu to come back to his senses from the heavy inspiration and thoughts.

At this point, the facts before him were undoubtedly extremely clear.

The true pros and cons of the three combined methods are still difficult to discern.

However, this immortal inheritance is in line with the principle of "I am the rules".

It is also clear what choice he should make among the three ways of fusion.

After all, this volume of Nine Revolutions Profound Art does more than just conform to the principle of "I am the rules".

At the same time, it is also a volume of foundation-laying methods!
Rules refine the soul, rules refine the body, and just happen to solve the difficult entry level of the way that I am the rules.

The only concern is that the immortal inheritance is too mysterious. It will take a long time to fully comprehend it.

"I am the rules..."

Chu Mu pursed his lips. At this moment, the look he gave towards this world was extremely complicated.

Even though it was just some speculation, he didn't even dare to think too deeply about it.

If it was really as he guessed, even if it was only slightly correct, it would be an unimaginable horror!
After stopping for a moment, Chu Mu flashed and walked out of the Sky Fox Tower.

Outside the tower, Yun Qingyi, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately smiled when she saw Chu Mu appear. She floated down from the clouds and took Chu Mu's arm familiarly.

"Brother Chu, the inheritance should go smoothly, right?"

"Fortunately."

Chu Mu nodded and glanced at Yun Qingyi. After confirming that she was not out of control, he did not hide anything and told her the process of inheritance.

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Chu Mu to ask, Yun Qingyi handed over a jade slip.

"This is the immortal family's inherited cultivation experience of Qing'er's bloodline. After Qing'er accepted the immortal family's inheritance, she awakened and obtained it. It should be helpful for you, Brother Chu, to practice the Nine Revolutions Profound Art..."

Chu Mu took it casually, and as his spiritual consciousness flowed, he sensed the jade slip for a moment, and a hint of doubt appeared between his brows.

Chu Mu asked in confusion: "Why is there only rules to refine the spirit?"

"My Qingqiu Fox Clan's bloodline originally reveres the gods. With a weak physique, they are not completely suitable for the Nine Revolutions Profound Art. Therefore, my Qingqiu ancestors of all generations only practiced one of the profound arts to achieve harmony with the gods."

Chu Mu hesitated: "Will there be any flaws in this case?"

"That's not clear."

Yun Qingyi shook his head: "The Qingqiu Demon Kings of our clan have all stopped at the eighth level of Mahayana. The shackles of their bloodline are difficult to overcome."

“Maybe there are some flaws, but at least it shouldn’t have any impact before reaching the eighth level of Mahayana.”

Chu Mu seemed to be thinking about something, but didn't ask any more questions.

After all, the cultivation of monsters is very different from that of humans.

The practice of human immortality is to transform the essence of one's own life. All means and secret techniques that can help transform the essence of life can be practiced.

As for monsters, it all depends on tapping into the power of their bloodlines.

Even if one has a profound secret technique, as long as one cannot break through the shackles of blood, it is just icing on the cake for the monster.

The same is obviously true for the Qingqiu Fox Clan.

The strength of the fox clan lies in its divinity and charm.

The power of blood naturally lies in its spirit and charm.

If you want to climb to a higher level of immortal cultivation, you are destined to need to focus on the divine level in order to better tap into the power of your bloodline.

If you focus on the deviation, it will only lead to the confusion of bloodline and directly affect the foundation of practice.

As for his speculation on these three paths of fusion...

The Qingqiu Fox Clan might have records of their inheritance, but obviously, it is not something that Yun Qingyi today can know. The inheritance of bloodline is not achieved overnight, but it awakens and manifests little by little as the cultivation level improves and the power of bloodline is tapped.

When Chu Mu was thinking deeply, Yun Qingyi suddenly changed the subject: "Brother Chu, Qing'er, I want to go out for a while."

Chu Mu turned his head and asked in confusion: "Why?"

Yun Qingyi hesitated: "Qing'er wants to search for our fellow tribesmen who have been stranded outside for these years and rebuild our Qingqiu Fox Clan..."

"The Qianzuo League was just destroyed not long ago, and the Qingqiu clan is still at the center of the storm. It is too risky for you to leave Qingqiu Cave Heaven now."

"Besides, the rules of Qingqiu Cave Heaven are out of order. Your low-level clansmen will inevitably be affected if they enter this cave heaven, and the disadvantages will outweigh the advantages."

Chu Mu spoke in a calm tone, admonishing patiently.

At the moment, Yun Qingyi has not lost control yet, and his Moon Emperor bloodline is still of great use in this Qingqiu Cave Heaven.

Naturally, he was more patient with Yun Qingyi.

Of course, it just takes a little more patience.

If he doesn't listen to the advice and insists on leaving Qingqiu Cave Heaven at this time...

Then we can only stop the loss in time...

Everything in this Qingqiu Cave Heaven is already in his pocket. He does not allow anyone to spy on it, nor does he allow any risk to occur.

"Okay, Qing'er will listen to Brother Chu."

Fortunately, the worst outcome did not occur.

After a few words of persuasion, Yun Qingyi stopped forcing him to do so, just like the little girl implanted in her memory...
