The Lord of the Laws of Heaven

Chapter 294: True Spirit Cultivation, Collecting "Empty" Qi and Blood
Xiao Jun and Meng Shenji entered the secret world of immortality.

In the secret world of immortality, there is a dense atmosphere of immortality qi. Once you enter the immortality qi, your entire life will completely stagnate, and all thoughts and ideas will stagnate.

In such a state, vitality is preserved, so it is called the Qi of Longevity.

However, this kind of immortality is not what the cultivators want. Unless it is necessary, they will never enter the secret realm of immortality and allow their vitality to completely stagnate. This is not much different from death.

Xiao Jun stayed inside the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower, breaking up a large amount of immortality true qi for collection.

These immortality true qi are top-grade treasures. Xiao Jun thought about it briefly. If these immortality true qi are used well, they can be used to forge magical artifacts, which can be used for sealing, or as a weapon to deal with the flexible and changeable ghost immortals.

Xiao Jun activated the existence of Taihao Yuanshen and quickly calculated the location of "emptiness".

At the same time, Meng Shenji, who was behind, stayed in the Eternal Kingdom and followed Xiao Jun.

Traveling through a long period of time and space, Xiao Jun absorbed a large amount of immortality qi as material for his comprehension.

Now Xiao Junming has realized the mystery of the true spirit. The more principles he comprehends and the deeper his understanding of the heaven and earth, the easier it will be for the true spirit to manifest and operate.

On the surface, the practice of realizing the true spirit is similar to that of not realizing the true spirit.

However, after realizing the true spirit, all cultivation is to eliminate the obstacles on the "Tao" and constantly do subtraction. Once the "obstacles" are completely eliminated, the true "Tao" will be directly revealed.

Without enlightenment, it is just an endless accumulation of Taoist techniques, a continuous accumulation, a kind of impermanent change. Because impermanence is born, it also dies because of impermanence.

The more Dao Xiao Jun understands in different worldviews, the clearer Xiao Jun's true Dao becomes from the cage of the world, and the more powerful it becomes.

This is also the way to the other shore that Xiao Jun realized.

If one really wants to describe what the path to the other shore is, Xiao Jun can roughly describe it as follows:

A man fell into a coma and fell into a dream. He dreamed of a river, and also dreamed of this bank and the other bank.

So the man jumped into the river, trying to swim from one shore to the other.

After going through untold hardships, I finally reached the other side.

Suddenly, the man woke up and found that everything on this side, the river, and the other side was nothing. It turned out that it was all a dream.

This shore is like the people in the mortal world, and those who enter the river are like practitioners, constantly practicing Taoism, just like crossing the river. The other shore symbolizes a kind of transcendence and detachment!
But these are all false, all illusions! When you wake up, you will understand. And after truly waking up, you will be able to truly grasp the truth and operate infinite methods.

Xiao Jun realized his own true spirit, which was equivalent to having a hint of waking up, but he did not really wake up.

It is equivalent to realizing that you are living in a dream or an illusion, but you have not truly awakened and returned to reality, and you are trapped in the dream while awake.

This feeling of being awake and trapped in a dream can now somewhat describe Xiao Jun's thoughts after he realized his true spirit.

But it is also a little different. After all, the world and human hearts are not that simple. Xiao Jun uses dreams as a metaphor, but it is just a metaphor.

After Xiao Junming realized the true spirit, he had to continue to comprehend the truth. Every time he comprehended the truth, he was accumulating the power of wisdom, so that he could truly master everything and completely eliminate his own ignorance before he could transcend from the illusion.

Xiao Jun still cultivated, still needed to survive the Nine Tribulations of Thunder, still wanted to become a Yang God, still wanted to become an Immortal, and even shatter the Vacuum. Because Xiao Jun wanted to use cultivation to constantly sharpen his true spirit, accumulate enough wisdom, and let his true spirit manifest, so that he could escape the impermanence of the world.

From the world's perspective, this kind of practice is the same as that of a practitioner who has not realized the true spirit.

However, for practitioners who have not realized the true spirit, no matter how they practice, they are just constantly piling up sand in a dream. Once impermanence comes, all the accumulated magic power will be instantly dispersed and become a dream bubble.

"In fact, according to my calculations...powerful individuals like the Great Emperor Changsheng, the Supreme Daoist Master, and the Holy Emperor Yuan actually roughly understood the existence of the True Spirit. At the very least, they had a similar concept. It's just a pity that they didn't transcend it either."

"Even if you possess a true spirit, if you don't cultivate and accumulate enough Taoism, you will not be able to escape from the world and achieve the true otherworldly realm!"

Because the true spirit can also become dim, sink... and be obscured. They have not accumulated enough Taoism, and when their souls decay and the great calamity of life and death comes, their true spirits are pulled in and sink into darkness.

So Xiao Jun truly realized his own way to the other shore!

Xiao Jun's Hongmeng Dao is constantly breaking its own boundaries. The Hongmeng Dao absorbs knowledge and principles as numerous as dust particles in the world among Xiao Jun's heavens, and expands rapidly. It is no longer confined to the "Yang Shen" world, and the true spirit is surging madly.

The true spirit is extremely empty and insignificant. Although from the perspective of the world, Xiao Jun's magic power has not increased, we can no longer rely solely on external magic power to guess Xiao Jun's realm!
Xiao Jun even surpassed the so-called realm, because the realm is merely a limitation of the world!

"In this world, realize your own other shore! Transcend the world but remain within it! This is the true other shore!"

"I am transformed by the Tao... Whether it is real or dreamlike, my true self is not easy to find."

It's like a person waking up from a dream. Does that mean the person who wakes up and the person who was dreaming are two different people? The experiences in the dream are also real experiences.

In the secret world of immortality, Meng Shenji was seen following behind Xiao Jun and staying in the kingdom of eternity.

Meng Shenji was following Xiao Jun at this time, and he was trying to understand some of the principles that Xiao Jun felt.

"The Great Dao of Hongmeng..." Meng Shenji comprehended silently. At that time, he had comprehended many experiences, but after feeling Xiao Jun's most core Great Dao, he found that Xiao Jun's principles had exceeded his understanding.

Even if Meng Shenji only sensed part of the spiritual will, he would directly assimilate it with his own spirit! Part of the spiritual will would directly melt his own thoughts.

Even for the current Meng Shen Ji, it is still quite difficult to comprehend and understand it.

"This Dao... is incomparably profound, its wisdom boundless, encompassing the universe... This Dao points directly to the very origin of heaven and earth!" Meng Shenji pondered, "This person's Yang Shen is within sight!"

"The portion of my mental willpower that I've managed to exert close to full strength has already benefited me greatly. If I could understand such a complete truth, how terrifying would that be!"

Many thoughts began to change in Meng Shenji's mind, and his eyes became a little mysterious.

In his mind, he was thinking about the true meaning of Xiao Jun's teachings, which he had obtained from the simulated universe where Xiao Jun had taught him. Meng Shenji naturally understood that Xiao Jun's teachings were the Dao of Hongmeng.

The mystery of this Hongmeng Dao lies in the fact that it cannot be recorded using scriptures, methods, Taoist arts, etc., and can only be realized through Xiao Jun's true meaning.

It can be passed on but not taught; this is the characteristic of the Hongmeng Way.

However, the Hongmeng Dao can encompass all methods. Meng Shenji felt that he had only obtained a part of the Hongmeng Dao. All the Taoist skills accumulated in his heart were unified and organically combined.

The various Taoist arts of Tai Shang Dao are also easily incorporated into Hong Meng Dao and integrated, containing extraordinary power.

After traveling through a large amount of space, Xiao Jun suddenly walked into a space. In this space, there was no immortal qi, and the flow and changes of time and space were no different from the big world.

Xiao Jun's Taihao Yuanshen finally calculated the location of "emptiness".

Knowledge and insight, a towering tree, on which a strange fruit condensed, and under which a giant ape sat cross-legged, "emptiness" had arrived.

The giant ape, with an extremely powerful appearance, sat cross-legged with five hearts facing the sun, and exuded an aura that shook the universe at all times!

The essence, energy and spirit are still condensed together, and on top of the towering tree, there is a beating fruit like a heart.

This fruit, every time it is mobilized, absorbs a huge amount of longevity true qi from the surrounding area, and directly sucks out a cavity of longevity true qi in the secret world of longevity!
And that towering tree was a divine object that Kong had refined by collecting countless treasures from the universe... It could be called the "Saha Treasure Tree".

The roots of this Saha Treasure Tree are rooted in the secret world of immortality, absorbing a large amount of immortality true energy as its own nourishment!
Xiao Jun walked out of the secret realm of immortality, holding the Tower of Heaven and Earth in his hand, and at this moment, Meng Shenji also appeared behind Xiao Jun.

"Good monkey...what a divine monkey." Xiao Jun said.

The Qi and blood of this divine ape was at the peak of the human immortal realm. Furthermore, because it was a divine beast, the essence contained within it was incomparably rich, dozens of times more than that of an ordinary human immortal! Like a Qi and blood sun, ordinary ghost immortals would have their souls evaporated by the Qi and blood of this divine ape simply by approaching it.

"Legend has it that this Kong is only one step away from becoming a powerful being who can shatter the vacuum!" Meng Shenji also appeared, holding up the Eternal Kingdom in his hand!
Xiao Jun naturally knew that this "emptiness" was still two levels away from the realm of shattering the vacuum, namely "derivation of flesh and blood" and "ever-changing".

However, the martial arts have some secrets in the higher realms. Many people believe that the realm after the human immortal is to shatter the vacuum, but few people know that there are realms between the human immortal and the shattering of the vacuum.

In reality, the realms of "Flesh and Blood Derivation" and "Thousands of Changes" are both spiritual realms. Martial Dao masters at these realms possess the same power as peak human immortals, but due to the profound depths of their spiritual realms, this same power generates even more profound divine powers!

Of course, there is no need to speak out such a secret.

Xiao Jun simply nodded, but Meng Shenji took a step forward and said, "Let me test the quality of this 'emptiness' first!"

But Meng Shenji directly lifted up the Eternal Kingdom, and saw a grand divine light coming out from the Eternal Kingdom. Wherever the divine light passed, a powerful force directly distorted time and space and rushed straight into the "void"!

At this moment, "Kong" sensed an extreme danger, opened his eyes, and golden light burst out from his eyes, instantly filling the entire world!

The entire world was filled with golden light, and there was a violent roar from the ancient mythical beast. "Kong" reacted, jumped up, and smashed directly into the divine light column emitted by Meng Shenji's Eternal Kingdom!

Like the sun, it exploded directly, destroying the divine power of heaven and earth and colliding with the divine light of the king of artifacts.

A huge earthquake...

The entire space and time of the secret realm of immortality was shaken violently, and this kind of shaking was the collision of the purest power!
"Okay!" Meng Shenji said, and then he lifted up the Eternal Kingdom and smashed it towards Kong. Behind Kong, the Saha Treasure Tree exploded, and thousands of branches began to dance. The power of each branch was like a full-strength attack from a martial saint!
The eternal kingdoms collided at the same time, and infinite birth and death erupted around them. The powerful force directly opened up thousands of small worlds in the surrounding void, but at the same time, this power instantly destroyed and shattered these small worlds!

This is an unimaginable divine power!

Meng Shenji was blown away by this force, holding the Eternal Kingdom in his hand, and retreated directly behind Xiao Jun.

"Who is it...why did you disturb my sleep..." "Kong" roared.

"Kong, you are indeed alive. Hand over your immortality fruit!" Meng Shenji said coldly. Xiao Jun just watched all this thoughtfully.

But "Kong" looked at Meng Shenji indifferently, and then said: "How shameless of you to attack me, then give me your life!"

"Let's attack together!" Meng Shenji said.

"You will all die here!" the giant ape roared!

Xiao Jun gave a rather meaningful smile and said to Meng Shenji, "Okay!"

But I saw that the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower was accumulating energy crazily, and the power was rising endlessly, breaking through the air to collect endless power from the universe!
"The sky and the earth are dark yellow, the divine power of the universe... destroy!" Xiao Jun's Sky and the Earth Tower grew bigger and rushed directly towards "the sky"!
"Kong" saw the magical power of Xiao Jun's Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Pagoda, and realized that the situation was not good, but saw "Kong" let out a long roar, and all the branches of the Saha Treasure Tree gathered together and turned into a "ball"!
"The wonderful tree of Saṃsāra. The mantra for the protection of an infinite life!"

The Wanshou Hengsha Body Protection Mantra is the most powerful body protection mantra of the Eternal Emperor, and its defense can be said to be the best!

The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower crashed into it, and a large number of runes appeared on the branches of the Saha Wonderful Tree. Under the power of Xiao Jun's Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower, the runes shattered into pieces, but grew again.

It only takes a while for Xiao Jun to break the Wanshou Hengsha protective spell, forcing Kong to surrender!
And at this moment, a terrifying momentum that turned the world upside down came rushing towards them.

Alarm bells rang in Xiao Jun's heart!
It’s... Meng Shen Ji, Meng Shen Ji used the Eternal Kingdom!
But then the Dream God Machine came moving sideways, like some stars pressing down directly from the sky, just like the sky collapsing and the earth sinking, just to destroy all life.

The Eternal Kingdom is coming for Xiao Jun!

"Meng Shen Ji!" Xiao Jun roared, seemingly filled with immense rage, but in his heart, Xiao Jun did not have a single trace of anger, but was instead extremely calm.

At the same time, the "emptiness" that was originally wrapped in a sphere exploded directly into the sphere.

A roar.

"The great millstone of heaven and earth!" The divine power of the Saha Treasure Tree was bestowed on "Kong", and the Saha Treasure Tree even moved to resist Xiao Jun's Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower.

"Kong" came straight towards Xiao Jun!
It was like directly smashing the pillars supporting the sky, causing the sky and the earth to fall and squeeze, erasing everything... This move was a move that fused countless principles of heaven and earth. If one did not have a very deep understanding of heaven and earth, it would be impossible to perform this move!

But the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower broke through the void and came directly into Xiao Jun's hands.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower directly collided with the Eternal Kingdom! At the same time, a palace emitting purple clouds jumped out from between Xiao Jun's eyebrows. It was the "Hongmeng Dao Palace", but the "Hongmeng Dao Palace" was seen rapidly expanding.

The three collided with each other...

Light...is the radiance that fills everything.

The light quickly faded, leaving only... emptiness.

Nothingness, only nothingness.

In the secret world of immortality, a large amount of immortality true energy turned into nothingness under the bombardment of these divine powers and became the most basic substance between heaven and earth.

The surrounding void is in the endless birth and death of small worlds. These are the forces generated by the three-party collision just now, which disturbed the void.

Xiao Jun stood in the void.

The Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower in his hand collapsed a little, and the many small worlds inside were directly transferred by Xiao Jun, so it was not completely broken.

The "Hongmeng Dao Palace" in Xiao Jun's hand collapsed directly, leaving only some foundations and incomplete formations!

"What a good plan." Xiao Jun laughed and looked at Meng Shenji and "Kong" in front of him.

However, the Eternal Kingdom in Meng Shenji's hand was also shattered. The sky was not round, and the earth was not square! His figure was a little unstable.

Many branches of the Saha Treasure Tree broke, unable to regenerate. Kong was now riddled with wounds, each carrying with it the power of the birth and death of countless worlds. These wounds, unable to heal, bled continuously, each drop forming a lake of blood. This revealed the profound power of Kong's Qi and blood!
"Master, you first awakened Kong, and then deliberately used the excuse of a fight to secretly collaborate with Kong, intending to kill me!" Xiao Jun said, looking at Meng Shenji with a smile, and then looked at Kong: "You are cunning. You want to use this opportunity to get rid of me first, and then think about dealing with Meng Shenji, right?"

"Heh...you disturbed my sleep! You all will die!" "Kong" roared angrily!
Looking at the unharmed Xiao Jun, he felt infinite cunning and cruelty in his heart, but there was an incomparable fear in his eyes. This man was actually unharmed under the attack of two top masters!
Xiao Jun's eyes were as calm as the abyss, his face as still as a pond. He looked towards Meng Shenji.

"Jun... your strength is improving too quickly. It's a variable that could change the course of this epoch. Yet, you're not a member of the Supreme Dao, but an obstacle to our path... I have no choice but to eliminate you!" Meng Shenji replied. "Furthermore, your Dao itself is a supreme treasure, an incomparable treasure."

Meng Shenji said to Xiao Jun, "Don't worry, I've accepted your thoughts... Jun... Can you resist it once? Can you resist it a second time? Can your King of Divine Artifacts still work?"

"The sect leader doesn't care about his own eternal kingdom. My king of artifacts is indeed of little use!" Xiao Jun nodded and said with a smile, without a trace of fear on his face.

"Then... Jun, just surrender!" Meng Shenji said, "In my eyes, your thoughts are much more precious than Kong! It's worth it to sacrifice the Eternal Kingdom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw "Kong" rushing up again. At the same time, Meng Shenji urged the broken Eternal Kingdom to rush straight towards Xiao Jun.

But at this moment, Xiao Jun laughed.

"What courage!" Meng Shenji exclaimed. It seemed that even Meng Shenji was moved by the courage to remain calm even if the sky fell.

"The one with real courage is the sect leader!" Xiao Jun immediately burst out with all his might, and all his thoughts changed rapidly.

"The Nine Tribulations Ghost Immortal is not weak?" Meng Shenji said in shock, and the Eternal Kingdom urged it even more fiercely!
"The millstone of heaven and earth!" "Kong" used his ultimate move again, and was about to make the surrounding heaven and earth collapse again, erasing everything!
But the broken Heaven and Earth Pagoda in Xiao Jun's hand was emitting the light of stars, and at this moment, a misty air enveloped Xiao Jun.

"Hong...Meng...Heaven...Dao..."

The long sound of Taoism burst out in Xiao Jun's mind, word by word. Every thought instantly activated thousands of Taoist techniques and thousands of principles!

Four hundred and eighty million Taoist spells were activated by Xiao Jun at the same time, organically combining with each other. The surrounding void expanded and contracted, and the laws of all vital energy circulation changed instantly, as if the surrounding laws of nature had changed!

This magnificent force is directly combined with the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower, integrating the principles from the universe into the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower.

The boundless brilliance directly illuminated the entire secret world of immortality, like the rising sun of the universe, carrying with it an incomparable powerful momentum!
At the same time as the sun was born, countless shadows of stars appeared in the void.

Wherever Xiao Jun establishes, the Heavenly Dao must also allow Xiao Jun to modify it... This is the power of the Hongmeng Heavenly Dao!
"Yang Shen... No... This is a power close to Yang Shen!"

But Haoyang, accompanied by the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Tower, directly bombarded the Eternal Kingdom!

However, the Eternal Kingdom was shattered bit by bit. When half of the Eternal Kingdom was shattered, the Tower of Heaven and Earth fell directly.

A white light instantly suppressed all of Meng Shenji's magical powers and thoughts, and directly absorbed them into the Heaven and Earth Profound Yellow Pagoda. Xiao Jun also took the Eternal Kingdom.

Hongmeng Tiandao's magical power was almost that of Yangshen Zhenren. Meng Shenji was just a weak ghost immortal who had suffered eight tribulations. Naturally, he was beaten to his knees by Xiao Jun!
When "Kong" saw Xiao Jun's power, he was shocked and jumped directly into the void, about to escape!

"Hong...Meng...Tian...Dao..." Xiao Jun's thoughts were arranged again, and a darkness covering the numerous void dimensions fell directly.

A huge millstone appeared. The millstone contained the Supreme Heavenly Demon Dao that Xiao Jun had comprehended, and it also integrated the "Supreme Heavenly Demon Holy Embryo". Relying on the supreme Taoist art of "Hongmeng Heavenly Dao", combined with the "Heaven and Earth Millstone" trick that "Kong" had just performed, it directly gave birth to a great annihilation millstone that could destroy the heaven and earth!
In Xiao Jun's current view, the move of "Heaven and Earth Grindstone" can be thoroughly analyzed and become his own Taoist resource.

"Kong" kept struggling, and the two millstones slowly closed.

"Kong" made a gesture to support the heaven and earth, but still could not stop the two millstones from closing!
"Don't kill me... Xiaoyuan is willing to surrender!"

"I haven't shattered the vacuum yet... No..."

When the millstones closed, endless power of life and death was generated. Both millstones were vortices formed by the most refined annihilation true energy generated by the Supreme Heavenly Demon Dao.

The Great Nirvana Millstone slowly turned, and the "empty" blood, spirit, true energy, thoughts, etc. were all directly ground into the purest essence, and directly entered into the "Taishang Heavenly Demon Holy Embryo".

However, the "Holy Embryo of the Supreme Demon" seemed to be getting a little fuller.

The energy and blood of "Kong" were collected by Xiao Jun and stored in the "Taishang Tianmo Shengtai" as a resource for Xiao Jun to break through to the human immortal.

"All I have left to become a Yang God is a Human Immortal... and my martial arts will reach even higher levels!"

Then he looked at Meng Shenji who was suppressed by Xiao Jun with the help of Hongmeng Tiandao.

"My True Spiritual Dao... can just enlighten the Dream God Machine..."

"Let Meng Shen Ji become me! This is also compensation for his sneak attack on me!"

Xiao Jun sighed with a smile.
