Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

"Friend An...long time no see!"

Tie Xuan's voice trembled, tears welled up in his eyes, and his Taoist heart, which had been silent for a long time, could no longer calm down.

After leaving Da Zhou, Tiexuan's experience can also be described as legendary.

He discovered a mortal kingdom in the territory outside the Great Wilderness. There were almost no monks in that country, and the people were weak, but they were gifted in the art of creation, with many wonderful ideas and novel designs and inventions that even amazed Tiexuan.

So, Tie Xuan stayed in this country, communicated and discussed with the people there, and spread the refining technology of the Great Zhou. Soon, this country quickly became strong, and Tie Xuan was also hailed as the national teacher. This country was named Daling.

The rise of other countries, the invasion of monsters, the ravages of spiritual disasters... If his story were written down, it would probably be a thick history book.

Even so, the life in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the past Anle have always been engraved in Tiexuan's heart, like the most precious treasure, always shining brightly.

Anle looked at Tiexuan in front of him, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

"Friend Tiedao, how long have you been here to gain enlightenment?"

Tie Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said, "There is no time in the black coffin. I don't know how much time has passed."

“But when I left Tai World, tens of thousands of years had passed since the fall of the Great Zhou.”

Anle smiled and said, "The Great Zhou has not been destroyed."

Hearing this, Tie Xuan was shocked and stared at Anle blankly.

Anle roughly recounted the past events to Tiexuan. After listening, Tiexuan was silent for a long time, and sighed: "So, don't I become a deserter?"

If possible, he naturally hoped to personally participate in that heroic battle and fight side by side with Anle and the Zhou emperor.

Hearing this, Anle said seriously: "The Spark Project is by no means meaningless."

"If you hadn't left the spark for the Great Zhou, there wouldn't be the developed immortal cultivation civilization of later generations. It's because of you that I have no worries and I can gamble the fate of the Great Zhou against the gods."

"Besides, didn't you all come here in the past to help the cultivators of the world cross the void?"

Tiexuan then nodded in agreement, but looking at his expression, he still seemed a little regretful.

Anle asked again: "The 'Tai World' you just mentioned, does it mean..."

Hearing this question, Tiexuan stretched out his hand, and magic power was woven at his fingertips. The rhythm of Tao spread, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a magical instrument with a peculiar shape. It was slender, with a transparent crystal at both ends, which was very similar to the telescope in Anle's impression.

Tiexuan's path is obviously different from that of ordinary people. He concentrates on refining equipment, and his application and understanding of magical instruments have already reached the level of Tao!

And his experiences in the Great Spirit Dynasty further inspired his creativity. He created all kinds of bizarre and strange things with ease. Behind all these was his deep understanding of the principles of magical instruments.

However, precisely because Tiexuan was mastering the path of magical instruments and needed external objects, it was very difficult for him to move forward on the stone steps, and he eventually stopped here.

"This is a magical tool developed by Da Ling, called the Wanli Mirror."

Tie Xuan spoke eloquently, his tone quite complacent: "It can see things at very far distances. If you infuse it with mana, it can further increase its visual range."

"It is with the help of this magical weapon that we learned the truth about the Great Wilderness World!"

He took out another compass in his hand, and the needle turned and finally stopped in one direction.

"Friend An, please look."

Anle picked up the telescope and looked in the direction indicated by the compass.

At first, all that could be seen in the mirror was darkness, but with the infusion of magical power, Anle's vision seemed to keep moving forward, crossing an immeasurable distance.

Suddenly, a few scattered spots of light entered Anle's field of vision.

"This is……"

From that spot of light, Anle felt the extremely pure energy and the vitality that nourished all things, as well as a sense of antiquity.

And Anle is no stranger to this ancient meaning!

Whether it is the Taichu Yuanye or the majestic will that previously blocked the arrival of Cang Yan's divine power, they all possess this ancient Taoist rhyme.

too!

Anle immediately thought of the name of the ancient god.

Counting the number of light spots carefully, there were exactly twelve of them. If the twelve light spots were connected together, they would reveal the outline of a human figure!

From a distance, it looked as if there was a person lying in the void.

At this moment, Tie Xuan's voice rang in An Le's ears: "Friend An, you should have seen those spots of light, right?"

"I began to wonder a long time ago, why the number of top forces in the world remains at twelve no matter how they rise and fall? Why are there also twelve divine treasures in the bodies of cultivators? What is so mysterious about this number?"

"When I saw this scene, I understood——"

"The world we live in is the corpse of an incomparably majestic giant! Every point of light is a divine treasure inside his body!"

"And this giant is named Tai!"

Anle couldn't help but be moved. The guesses in his mind were finally confirmed at this moment.

The outer gods were extremely thirsty for the Primordial Liquid and were eyeing the Great Wilderness World covetously, but they did not invade directly like they did other worlds, and only dared to use various means to infiltrate indirectly.

Obviously, they still have a strong fear of this dead lady.

Although the ancient god is dead, his power still remains!

Now that I think about it, it is only because of the newborn gods conceived in this corpse that Dahuang is unable to resist the invasion of foreign gods.

Anle thought to himself, "How powerful would a living Tai be?"

Just the physical body that transformed into a world was enough to shock Anle. This kind of power had already exceeded his comprehension.

Anle put down the panorama, and the waves in his heart did not subside for a long time.

After a long while, he asked again: "So, this black coffin, could it be..."

Tie Xuan's eyes were deep and his tone was complicated: "The Void Black Coffin is the coffin that the gods made for Tai."

"I guess it's because Tai's power is too strong. The gods are both afraid and eager for it, so they locked our world in the black coffin, both to protect themselves and to gradually weaken Tai's will and consume him completely."

Anle took some time to digest the truth, and then said: "Zhongxu, Tianrenshan and the others are all in front of these stone steps?"

Tie Xuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Friend An, do you want to continue climbing?"

Anle nodded.

Tie Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "I revealed these truths to you with the intention of making you give up, but now it seems that it has had the opposite effect."

Anle shook his head and said, "No, no matter what the truth is, I will definitely reach the end of the stone steps."

His words were filled with strong self-confidence, which made Tiexuan slightly stunned. He remembered the style of Anle when he swept across Taixue Academy, and also remembered the expressions of Zhongxu and Tianrenshan when they parted.

"Like, really like..."

Chapter 387 Taichu Temple, Wall-Facing Man

When asking on the stone steps, Tiexuan bowed deeply to Anle.

"Friend An, take care!"

Tiexuan knew that Anle's decision would not change because of his persuasion, so he simply respected his choice.

Anle waved his hand and continued to stride forward.

At this point in the stone steps, the difficulty of asking the question has reached a level that is difficult to estimate.

Even if it is Anle, it often takes a lot of time to make progress in deduction.

Tiexuan's worries were not without reason. After absorbing the insights of later monks day after day, he realized that the great Dao of the stone steps had become so profound that it was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Anle felt emotional about this and recalled some past events on Earth in his previous life.

"This stone staircase is like an artificial intelligence for the Great Dao. The process of the monks answering the questions is equivalent to training its model, making it constantly perfect, and eventually surpassing the monks and replacing them."

"Even for the best monks, it is still as difficult as ascending to heaven to conquer this stone staircase!"

"That's why this place has become a trap for all cultivators in the world."

Anle guessed that the Stone Steps of the Dao might have originally been a tool to assist in the study of the Great Dao, but only under the drive of the gods did they become a weapon to blockade the monks.

He moved on.

One after another, Anle met some monks on the stone steps.

They are either the top cultivators among the twelve forces in the world, or Anle’s old friends in the Great Zhou.

These people have been sitting on the stone steps for tens of thousands of years. Some of them have already perished and turned into human skin, while others are still alive, but are immersed in the world of the Avenue, like clay dolls, and have lost the ability to perceive and react to the outside world.

Of course, there are still a small number of people like Tiexuan who maintain a clear mind.

They were also very shocked when they saw Anle. Only by walking on the stone steps of the Tao in person could they understand how difficult those questions were.

As long as there is a slight flaw in Dao's mind, or if his foundation is even a little bit weak, he will be stumped by Dao's questions. And once he stops, it will become even more difficult to move forward again.

This requires not only extremely high talent, but also great courage!

No one can guarantee that they can answer the question of the next stone step, and every step may become the last step.

The human skins on the stone steps are the bloody proof!

Therefore, when people saw Anle walking on the stone steps as if they were walking on flat ground, they were naturally very surprised and felt strong admiration. Some people even regained the courage to seek the truth and stepped onto the next stone step again.

However, Anle’s old friends thought it was natural. After all, he was Taoist Wuxu!

In this way, Anle climbed up step by step.

The Void Dao Tree and the Sword Dao Tree behind him have both grown into lush and vigorous towering trees. The Xiantian Dao Tree has also turned into a small sapling, gradually sprouting branches and leaves, exuding a strange and mysterious Dao rhyme.

Even next to the Xiantian Dao Tree, a small new sprout had sprouted.

But even Anle didn't know what kind of avenue this new sprout represented.

This avenue was difficult to describe in words. It was quiet and mysterious. It gave him a feeling of both familiarity and strangeness, but he just couldn't tell its name.

At the same time, Anle's cultivation level was also rising, from the early stage of Hedao to the middle stage, and finally to the late stage of Hedao.

The speed of this progress seems to be rapid, but in fact, Anle has spent an extremely long time in the deduction.

******

One day, Anle raised his head, and a hint of vicissitudes flashed in his eyes.

Before our eyes, the magnificent palace is just around the corner!

"Finally... we're here."

Anle calmed himself down, took a step forward, and walked down the last stone step.

The moment he stepped onto this platform, he actually felt tears welling up in his eyes. This road to enlightenment had finally come to an end!

After a while, Anle arrived in front of the palace.

This palace is extremely old, and it does not even belong to the Great Zhou era, but seems to date back to the time when the giant was still alive.

The door slowly opened, and a vast aura surged out from the hall, revealing its antiquity and vicissitudes, with a mysterious and gorgeous light emerging.

Anle did not hesitate, stepped on the Dao light, walked into the palace, and thought to himself: "Who built this palace?"

"Is it Tai, or the ancient gods?"

He walked in the magnificent hall, which was extremely empty. The dome was engraved with patterns that even Anle could not understand, flickering like stars.

Among these patterns, there are Taoist patterns and divine patterns. Anle also saw some familiar void runes.

The seemingly distinct lines now seem to be integrated into one, and many subtle connections and evolutions can be seen.

Anle walked through the hall and looked into the distance, only to see a figure deep in the palace.

The man sat in the thick light, his posture was straight and his face could not be seen clearly.

He turned his back to the stone steps and to all the living beings in the Tai World, guarding this ancient palace alone.

And in front of him was a vast and magnificent wall!

I don't know what material this wall is made of. It is translucent, chaotic and simple, yet magnificent and dazzling. I can vaguely see the scene on the other side of the wall.

Not long after, Anle approached the wall and looked through it. Outside was a vast expanse of void.

One after another, dazzling spots of light exist in the vast void, shining like stars.

There is the kingdom of gods!

At this moment, the person under the wall stood up, turned around, and looked at An Le with a smile: "Friend An, how are you?"

Anle's heart was slightly shaken, and she stared at him blankly with red eyes.
