The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

In Shushan, a man cultivated himself from an ordinary person to a celestial being and finally ascended to heaven. The kung fu he put in was divided into two parts, one was internal kung fu and the other was external kung fu.

Internal strength is the inner training, which achieves the ultimate perfection of body and spirit through means such as training qi and refining spirit.

The so-called using the spirit to refine the body, the body generates a bit of yang energy, and using the body to refine the spirit, the spirit retreats a bit of yin energy. This is the means of internal cultivation, namely the practice of Dandao.

External work refers to external cultivation. The so-called accumulating good deeds and virtues is not simply doing good deeds. What is more important is the tempering of the mind and character in the process. The dual cultivation of nature and life is considered complete only when all is completed.

In this process, each school and faction uses different means and methods, and the positions they can achieve in the end are also different.

Some people have practiced for thousands of years without practicing external skills. Their mind and nature cannot be harmonious, their spirit cannot be pure yang, and their final achievement stops at the level of earthly immortals.

Earthly immortals are those who can live forever in the human world.

All those who have not ascended and can live forever are earthly immortals, including Li Jingxu.

Li Jingxu had only completed the practice of becoming a saint in his physical body. His Taoism and magical powers were "equivalent" to those of a Golden Immortal. In reality, he was not a Golden Immortal and could only be called a "Golden Immortal on Land."

The Three Immortals of the East China Sea have mastered the skills of celestial immortals, but their abilities and magical powers are only "equivalent" to those of celestial immortals. In reality, they are not celestial immortals, but they are more powerful than ordinary celestial immortals who have already ascended.

Sanying, Eryun and others have not yet perfected their cultivation of celestial beings, and are still lacking something if they want to ascend to heaven, so they are just touching the threshold of celestial beings.

Shi Feiyang also lacked some things. His external skills were already enough to achieve immortality, and his internal cultivation had basically been completed, but he did not want to ascend. He had concerns in his heart, and the skills he practiced were many and diverse.

In alchemy, the bright moon is used to represent the golden elixir, and the upper and lower strings are used to represent the cultivation of life, form and spirit. Everything is pure and flawless, and a full moon is pure yang.

The moon refined by Shi Feiyang was many times larger than others, but there were too many flaws on it and it was not pure white enough... It had more flaws than a slight flaw.

After becoming a Yang God and ascending to heaven, one will leave behind "remains".

After an ordinary corpse-reincarnated immortal's Nascent Soul ascends, it will leave behind a "corpse".

Immortals are people who cannot live forever. Every five hundred years, they will go through the forty-nine tribulations, which means their life span is over and they will draw in the vital energy of heaven and earth, causing a death tribulation.

The 1,300-year catastrophe of heaven and earth for earthly immortals is not targeted at any particular earthly immortal, but a tidal catastrophe that occurs between heaven and earth every 1,300 to 1,500 years.

In the original novel, the immortals on Xiuning Island overcame the tribulation, and a large number of earthly immortals overcame the tribulation collectively with the help of the Emei Sect. This is how it happened.

In terms of spiritual achievement, scattered immortals are not as good as earthly immortals, earthly immortals are not as good as celestial immortals, and celestial immortals are not as good as golden immortals.

But if they fight each other, it is not certain who will win or lose.

The final achievements of a casual immortal are the worst, but if they practice for a long time, they can accumulate magic power that exceeds that of an earthly immortal or even a celestial immortal. This is especially true if they can refine a few magic weapons that specifically restrain the opponent, and thus can win more easily.

In the Lingjiao Immortal Mansion of Tianpeng Mountain in the East China Sea, there is a Red Staff Immortal. In terms of Taoism and magical power, he is not inferior to the Golden Immortal. He attained Taoism in the Tang Dynasty and is of the same generation as Luo Gongyuan, Ye Fashan, etc. His disciples are all celestial immortals who have not yet ascended to heaven, and his disciples are all immortal earthly immortals. Every once in a while, the Golden Immortals from the Lingkong Immortal Realm will lead the celestial immortals to visit him and give lectures and discuss Taoism.

But his position was also that of an earthly immortal, so he could not ascend to heaven, and his soul was not perfect enough, and there was still a little missing. He would have to reincarnate again to achieve perfect immortality, so he would also have to face the great catastrophe of heaven and earth that occurred once every 1,300 years.

If Shi Feiyang wanted to achieve the status of a celestial being and let his Yang Spirit ascend to heaven at this time, he would have to refine his physical body into a relic and then discard it. He would also have to either refine the Chaos Dragon Ball or discard it, and refining it would take a lot of time... When he ascended, he could not take anything with him, and had to discard everything.

The Tushita fire that is integrated into the three flowers on the top of the head must also be separated and discarded, and the two lotus incarnations must also be discarded...

After finishing all these, I adjusted my mindset, completely cut off all ties with this world, and only thought about ascending to the fairyland.

The three heroes and two clouds had long vowed to ascend to the fairyland and were eager to do so. They did not have as many worries as her. Their inner cultivation of body and spirit had almost been perfected. All they had to do was to accumulate enough outer skills and perfect their mind and character. Then they could ascend directly.

From this point of view, he and Sanying Eryun are indeed at almost the same level.

He will use the Dragon Balls to open up the world in the future. He has to carry the Dragon Balls with him, as well as his physical body, the Purple-Green Tushita Fire and the two lotus incarnations... He has to carry all these things. If he wants to ascend like this, he has to follow the path of Li Jingxu's physical body becoming a saint. Then there will be more things to do, and everything will take a lot of energy and effort. The most important thing is time to cultivate, and the time unit is "jia zi", which starts at sixty years.

But if he wants to fight someone now, even without the Haotian Mirror and the Jiuyi Cauldron, relying solely on the magical powers he has cultivated, he can easily kill the three heroes and two clouds who are holding various rare magical treasures such as the Ziying, Qingsuo and Qixiu. They still cannot beat Li Jingxu, but Li Jingxu cannot kill him either. He can easily suppress any one of the three immortals and two elders who have achieved perfection in Yang Shen and can ascend to heaven at any time, and he can also fight one against five. Even a few real immortals who have "graduated" from the sky are not his opponents.

Deng Yin, the son of the Blood God, took a different path. After he skinned people and practiced martial arts, his incarnation of the Blood God could only achieve the effect of a celestial being with both form and spirit.

If he wants to ascend to heaven as a deity, he has to give up everything he has now, then reincarnate and start a new life.

From this perspective, he is a "negative number" in the path to immortality. He has lost his foundation and is not even as good as an ordinary person.

And he wants to ascend to the foreign demon world. His cultivation method is similar to that of the immortal way, but it is completely different in essence. He can ascend like the old man Blood God, or he can be a demon son or grandson and be captured directly, or he can enter a magic scripture, become the master for a thousand years, and then leave.

But the demon world is an unreasonable and ruleless place, where the strong prey on the weak. The old demon Red Lotus and the old demon Tiecheng Mountain would rather open up their own cave world and live on their own, and be cowards than ascend. Of course, they still have to make some preparations before they can ascend, and they can't just leave whenever they want. Many things also have to be abandoned.

Whether immortal or demon, their positions and karma are different, and their final achievements are also different.

The person that gave Shi Feiyang the most headache was Deng Yin.

This time he had used deception, taking advantage of Deng Yin's trust in him, to launch a sneak attack, and only then was he able to deal with the demon and the sword so neatly. Now that he had been collected by himself in the Jiuyi Cauldron, he could cast a spell to completely destroy him, thus saving him from doing evil again in the future and causing the blood demon disaster.

But he hasn't done it yet. He uses the mistakes that the opponent will make in the future to punish and eliminate the current opponent, and he also uses deception, which is something that even an ordinary man in the world cannot do.

First, his moral conduct is deficient, and Deng Yin will become his demonic obstacle in the future. If things go wrong, he may be reborn in his demonic realm, and his life will never be complete. In any case, it will be in a "slightly flawed" state.

Secondly, even if Deng Yin died, there were still two witches in the world, as well as people related to him. By then, the catastrophe might become even bigger and more tragic. He himself would also be caught in the catastrophe, so it would be difficult for it to end well.

If Deng Yin cannot be eliminated, then the two paths ahead are immortal or demon, and this needs to be carefully considered.

Deng Yin was fine for the time being, but the more troublesome one was Chi You, or to be more precise, the sword spirit of the Heavenly Demon Zhuxian Sword, who ran away.

Among the group of immortals, those with less Taoism skills asked where Chi You had gone, while those with more Taoism skills were all worried.

Shi Feiyang was not sure now, so he exchanged views with Li Jingxu and Master Youtan: "He is good at sensing the demons in the heavens. In theory, anyone with demonic thoughts can be summoned to him. It is even more convenient for practitioners who can nurture the demon realm in their hearts. He can lurk in the demon realm in that person's heart. If he does not come out, others will not be able to find him. Moreover, Chi You knows the twelve major and minor escape techniques of the heavens, and he has no physical body to encumber him. If there are a large number of believers in some other world who are willing to summon him, and he has the ability to travel through worlds, he may have already run to a small world."

Shi Feiyang could see that Li Jingxu didn't want to care about it anymore and he had made up his mind to leave.

He is the standard-bearer of Taoism and, in a sense, the leader of the Xuanmen sect. Whenever something happens in the world or in Taoism, many people will come to him for justice.

Originally there was another master in Taoism named Yan Mian. After Yan Mian passed away, he was the only one left.

Now he is leaving too. The leader of the first generation of Xuanmen was Qi Shuming, who was calculated and promoted when Changmei Zhenren was still alive and finally decided upon.

In the original novel, many earthly immortals came to Qi Shuming for help. Qi Shuming took his fellow junior brothers and sisters, along with their magic weapons, to Xiuning Island in the South China Sea to help the immortals overcome the calamity.

Qi Shuming has lost his physical body and his foundation of Taoism has been destroyed. If things go wrong, he may have to go through another catastrophe. The next generation of person who carries the banner will have to fall on Shi Feiyang.

Li Jingxu did not say it explicitly, but his intention was revealed. On the one hand, it depends on whether Shi Feiyang is willing to be the leader of all the immortals, and on the other hand, it also depends on whether everyone agrees.

The elders of Emei Sect remained noncommittal, so the younger generations naturally were unwilling to do so and decided to go back and study it more carefully.

As for those various sects and independent practitioners that are closely related to the Emei Sect, they naturally still follow the lead of the Emei Sect.

Ling Hun, Mr. Zhong and others were on Shi Feiyang's side.

No one mentioned the matter openly, but everyone's attitude was clearly expressed.

After the great battle, everyone was very tired. Many people's flying swords and magic weapons were destroyed, especially the Emei and Wutai sects, which suffered heavy losses. After they finished talking, they dispersed.

Shi Feiyang found the remaining four people from the Wutai Sect: Jiang Sangu, Situ Xingming, Fang Ying and Yuan Hao.

The Wutai Sect encountered such a huge change. Patriarch Taiyi Hunyuan and Xu Fei's mother were both gone, Sikong Zhan escaped from the battlefield, and the huge immortal sword sect was on the verge of destruction.

Shi Feiyang said to Jiang Sangu and others, "The spirit of your ancestor has merged into the body of the demon god Chiyou. If Chiyou makes a comeback in the future, your sect will be involved in many things. Fairy Wanmiao suffered this disaster and her body and soul were almost destroyed. I will teach you a Zhoutian soul-searching method. You set up an altar in Jiuhua Mountain to summon souls for 49 days, collect the remaining soul of Taoist Xu, and use this spiritual glue to consolidate its spirit and soul, cultivate it well, and then send it to reincarnation."

Xu Feiniang has profound magical powers and a condensed spirit. Although she was beaten to pieces, she was able to find a way to find the remaining soul to consolidate her spirit and refine it. However, after reincarnation, she will lack many memories and even become demented and stupid. It will take several lives to recover. Of course, if everything goes well, she can start over in one life. It all depends on her luck.

As for the other disciples of the Wutai Sect who were killed, some simply had their physical bodies destroyed, while others had their body and soul annihilated. Some could be saved, while others could not. It all depended on Jiang Sangu and the other three to clean up the mess.

Before leaving, Feiyang gave Jiang Sangu a self-made purple-green magic talisman: "After a hundred days, some demons will see that you are weak and come to rob the Wutai Mountain Taoist temple. The others are fine, you can deal with them with your strength, but there is a group of people who are more powerful. When you can't resist them, release this magic talisman, and it will be of great use at that time."

Jiang Sangu took the talisman with both hands, and suddenly knelt down on both knees: "The talisman of the real person has infinite magical effects, but it can only protect us for a while, not for our whole life. Please show us a clear way, real person, where should the Wutai Sect go in the future?"

Jiang Sangu and Situ Xingming had been living outside. They were almost the same as the "abandoned disciples" of the Wutai Sect, and they returned to the mountain only for this sword fight.

Now that their master has met with disaster and fallen, they know they have no ability to seek revenge. They have no strong desire to seek revenge on either the Emei Sect or Chi You.

But they couldn't just watch the Wutai Sect perish, so they asked Shi Feiyang to tell them what to do in the future.

They do not seek revenge for their founder, nor do they seek to expand the sect. They just want to know how to preserve the Wutai Sect's foundation.

Shi Feiyang thought about it and told him: "Go to the Nine Immortals Cave at Lingyang Peak in Wushan Mountain to find your son Situ Ping, teach him everything you know about Wutai Sect, and then pass on the position of the head of Wutai Sect to him. In the short term, he became the head of Wutai Sect, and his master Yixiu was a protective child.

If there is a danger, he will definitely not ignore it. With him taking action, the Wutai Sect can be safe. From a long-term perspective, Situ Ping's aptitude and bones are not bad. If he does not meet that fateful fate, he can become a celestial being in this life. He is also the leader of both Yixiu and Wutai, so it will not be a problem for him to become a master of Xuanmen in the future."

After hearing this, Jiang Sangu was very happy. She thanked him again and discussed with her husband that they would go to Wushan to find her son after they finished performing the spell to summon the soul here.

They had also looked for Situ Ping in the past, but Yi Xiu didn't like the people from the Wutai Sect and never met with them. Every time, he would only let Situ Ping reunite with them for a period of time and then call him back to continue his cultivation.

This time they directly let Situ Ping be the head of Wutai Sect. Wutai Sect is already like this, and someone will attack the mountain and seize the temple in the future. It is unreasonable for Yi Xiu not to let Situ Ping come back. Stopping his son from saving his parents is against the principles of heaven and human ethics. Although Yi Xiu has a strange temper, he is not completely immoral. (End of this chapter)
