Simulation becomes reality, have I ever looked down upon the eternity?

Chapter 182: Going Down Mount Zhongnan, Taoist Priest Taiping (Two in One!)

[You are determined to practice "Xiantian Gong" and "Liantian Hand".]

[Since you crossed the threshold of Grandmaster and first glimpsed the realm of "Xiantian Gong", a world of changes has been surging in your body. The newly born innate true qi and the strong true qi forged by the "Da Huang Ting" in the past are like rivers that part ways and occupy their own places, just like two purely different forces fighting against each other, silently confronting each other in your body. ]

[Inside the inner world, two streams of true energy are like two tigers with hanging eyes entrenched on the mountain, staring intently and roaring non-stop.]

[Cannot be mixed!]

[Fortunately, you have entered the innate realm and can quietly dissolve this discordant energy in your own inner world. I am afraid that your internal energy has already been disordered, and there will be endless troubles.]

【I didn’t expect it!】

[In the past, the most gentle and gentle method of Dahuangting, which was regarded as a good companion for transitional practice in the Three True Sect, unexpectedly became a stumbling block on the road to progress after stepping into the threshold of Xiantian. ]

[If you want to find the true meaning of "Xiantian Gong", you must first break it and then establish it, and all the lifelong cultivation of "Dahuangting" will be dispersed. ]

[Inside his body, an indescribable aura quietly surged. It was the true energy condensed by Da Huang Ting's years of hard training, but now it receded like a tide and slowly dissipated.]

【Disperse the power!】

[Your cultivation level has silently fallen from the innate realm to the grandmaster realm in just a short period of time.]

[After three hours, when the last wisp of true energy in the inner world dissipates, your cultivation will be completely lost.]

【No more cultivation!】

[After losing your cultivation, you seem to be more closely connected with the universe. You have broken through the barrier between heaven and earth, and can feel the movement of spiritual energy between heaven and earth, clearly and truly.]

[You begin to practice according to the methods of "Xiantian Gong" and "Liantian Shou".]

[He was so absorbed in this practice that his mind and body were completely intoxicated. The Xiantian Gong and the Liantian Hand were two completely different ways of practicing.]

[The pure white innate true qi and the blazing fire-like refining heavenly qi were clearly separated at first, but gradually, they seemed to be pulled by invisible threads, slowly merging and interweaving into an unprecedented strange scene.]

【A fusion of highbrow and white snow!】

[What is even more bizarre is that the luck and fortune from the distant Yan land also quietly descended, blending perfectly with the red energy of the Heaven Refining Hand. The three complemented each other and slowly merged into one.]

[In the inner world, there are three divine birds of different sizes emitting golden light, rotating around.]

[It's like adding colorful clouds into a red dye vat, rendering another color.]

[Finally, it slowly synthesized into a pure white color, extremely clear and transparent, without any mixed colors!]

[In this incredible fusion, you slowly become immersed in it!]

[For ten days, you have not eaten anything.]

[You sit on a cliff without moving, with even a flying bird resting on your shoulder, exposed to the wind, rain and sun.]

[Like a stone sculpture!]

[Lu Yu has come out of seclusion after seven days of retreat. After coming out, he and Liu Jinchan will stay by your side.]

[Your breathing is long and your heartbeat is slow, as if you have entered a state of meditation.]

[Liu Jinchan saw this and saw your state and sighed: "Shenzhou, you are really courageous. You actually used up all the power of "Da Huang Ting" and chose to start over!"]

[Ask yourself, he doesn't have the courage to give up his cultivation to start over. ]

[Although the practice of Xiantian Gong is extremely fast, it still requires one or two years of hard work. In this era of martial arts, such a choice is not wise.]

【Lu Yu smiled and said: "Master, don't worry, brother always thinks carefully before doing anything."】

【Day 10!】

[The sky is just beginning to light up, a ray of golden sunlight penetrates the clouds and shines on your clothes and robes. ]

[At this moment, the sun is rising and all things are awakening. It is the time when the spiritual energy is at its peak, and it is the best time to practice. ]

[Your body naturally begins to attract the spiritual energy around you. They are like tiny points of light, floating lightly beside you!]

[You slowly stretch out your hands, and on your slender and powerful hands, a faint flame begins to jump from your fingertips. The flame is just a little candlelight at first, but as time goes by, it gradually grows stronger and eventually turns into a blazing flame.]

[The flame did not last long, and then slowly shrank.]

[It was like a fiery red charcoal burning fiercely on his hands.]

【Liu Jinchan asked in surprise: "The third level of Heavenly Hand Training?"】

[“Seal the flame!”]

[There are six levels of "Practicing Heavenly Hands", which are progressive. The first level, "Firework", is the beginning of practice. You only need to gather heat in your palms, and place paper, branches, and clothes on your hands, which will ignite without fire. It can also ignite tiny objects.]

[The second level, "Southern Candle", goes a step further. The steam from the hands is enough to form an open flame, making the surrounding space hot, as if standing next to a frying pan.]

[The third level, "Sealing Flame", can gather a ball of flame in your hand, and by squeezing it layer by layer, the temperature in your hand is like being in a furnace.]

[Lu Yu also smiled and nodded: "It is indeed the third level."]

[Although Liu Jinchan was puzzled, what puzzled her was that you were able to display the third level of the Heavenly Hands even though you had lost all your cultivation.]

[Lu Yu gave the answer: "This is due to the second level of realm above Xiantian, the mystery of 'the unity of man and nature'."]

[In this state, practitioners can adjust the inner world and seek the strongest state of resonance with the outer world. Once the inner and outer worlds have reached the initial state of convergence, they can absorb and exhale the vitality of heaven and earth, and even call on a little power of heaven and earth. ]

【At this time!】

[It seems that earth-shaking changes have taken place in your body. Your aura is like a river bursting its banks, so fast that it has broken through the barrier of the Grandmaster realm in just a very short time.]

[This sudden change made Liu Jinchan dumbfounded. He could hardly believe his eyes. He muttered to himself:]

[“Reaching Grandmaster status in an instant… How… How is this possible!”]

[Lu Yu felt the spiritual energy in the area of ​​several miles being mobilized, and a smile appeared on his face.]

[As the dawn of the second day dawned, the sun gradually climbed to the sky, and your cultivation level fluctuated like the tide, and finally your aura remained steadily at the Xiantian realm.]

[After dispersing all his cultivation, he returned to the innate realm in ten days and broke through to the third level of the advanced realm of "unity of the self and the world".]

[You slowly open your eyes, and with a thought, a ball of red flame suddenly condenses in your palm.]

[When you wave lightly, the raging fire will instantly dissipate, replaced by a wisp of pure white aura, which is soft and pure. It is the unique aura produced by the perfect fusion of "Xiantian Gong", "Liantian Hand" and Yandi Qiyun. ]

[The Heaven Refining Hand seems to have undergone an extraordinary evolution. In the past, you often found it difficult to fully digest the great fortune you absorbed from Yandi. Now, with the assistance of the Heaven Refining Hand, the process has been accelerated by more than ten times, allowing your cultivation to advance by leaps and bounds.]

[Lian Tian Hand, the two words Lian Tian seem to have a deeper meaning. 】

[Not only that, the flames released by the Heavenly Refining Hand will consume all your spiritual energy in just a short while, but after you reach the state of "unity of the self and the world", you will be able to mobilize the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to provide energy for the flames, greatly reducing the consumption of your own spiritual energy.]

[Once you enter the realm of heaven and man, the inner and outer world will be completely united, and spiritual energy will be inexhaustible. ]

[The road of spiritual practice is long and arduous. 】

[The hunger in your stomach at this moment, even a strong person in the innate realm cannot completely get rid of the dependence on grains. Although you can absorb the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, some of the nourishment needed for life still needs to be obtained from food. ]

【Lu Yu saw this and smiled: "Brother, go downstairs and eat!"】

[After hearing this, you looked at your master Liu Jinchan, and suddenly a hint of interest appeared on your face. The two of you smiled at each other.]

[Then each of them pulled up one of Liu Jinchan's arms and jumped down from the top of the cliff, leaving only Liu Jinchan's exclamations echoing in the air, and Lu Yu's laughter.]

【Today is the fourth day of August. 】

[On August 16, a ceremony to worship the heaven was held in Yanjing!]

【Day 2!】

[Lu Yu's seven disciples returned to the mountain early, and this time the seven disciples of Zhongnan went to Yanjing together. ]

[Traveling with his uncle was something they had never experienced before, and Yang Su was particularly excited, as this had always been his long-cherished wish.]

[Seven people were waiting in the hall long ago.]

[Originally, the wife of the fifth brother Yang Su was also going to go with him. She was from the Demon Sect and liked the hustle and bustle, but she was pregnant this year and was stopped by everyone.]

[Liu Jinchan chose to stay on the mountain. Zhongnan Mountain must have a commander in charge.]

【early morning!】

[The nine of you said goodbye to Liu Jinchan and started to go down the mountain. The Sanzhen Sect and a group of young Taoist priests were waiting at the door, looking eagerly and envious.] [How wonderful it would be to travel the martial arts world with the two great-grandmasters Lu Yu and Lu Chen. I'm afraid you will become famous tomorrow!]

[Compared to practicing in the mountains, they prefer the outside world. ]

[“Go, go, do your homework!”]

[The young Taoist priests all dispersed!]

【Liu Jinchan stood on the steps outside the building, looking at your backs.】

[Lu Yu sometimes came down from Mount Zhongnan, and he was well-known in the martial arts world.]

[Every time he went down the mountain, the demons in the Jianghu were all terrified, and he was known as "going down the mountain to exorcise demons."]

[But you have not once stayed in the Tomb of the Living Dead in Mount Zhongnan in the past ten years.]

[Liu Jinchan murmured: "The King of Yan has come down from Mount Zhongnan again. What kind of storm will happen in this world?"]

[“With the White Horse Alliance over, will the Four Kingdoms and Yan still be peaceful?”]

[“Which disciple will be fulfilled by the prophecy of Wu Shattering the Void left by the Three True Sect?”]

[Liu Jinchan never expected that the two disciples he accepted in the north would become the people who decide the fate of the world and the martial arts world.]

…………

Yuetang River is one of the four major canals in the world.

From north to south, it crosses Qianyuan, Yan, Daqing, and finally enters the sea at the border between Chu and Han.

It's called differently in different countries!
Qianyuan called it "Yuexiang River", which originated from the Chazharijiagen Mountains on the north side of Tengji Mountain, the highest mountain in Qianyuan. In Qianyuan, it means "the moon, the wife of the sun", and it is also the birthplace of the Qianyuan royal court.

Daqing is called "Yuetang River".

When the Yuetang River flows into South Korea, it is given a new name - "Taiping River".

The origin of this name is closely related to Korea's long-standing Taepyeong religion.

According to legend, the founder of the Taiping Sect was born in this river, without a father or a mother. He was later adopted and raised by a local fisherman and named "Li Taiping"!
When Li Taiping grew up, he founded the Taiping Sect, whose teachings were deeply rooted in people's hearts and were widely respected by believers.

In order to commemorate this ancestor and his birthplace, the river was renamed Taiping River at the recommendation of a group of believers.

South Korea has a history of nearly a thousand years, and it cannot be separated from this great Taoist sect.

At first, the emperor of Korea had to obtain authorization from the Taepyeong Church.

The leader of the Taiping Sect, also called himself "Tianshi".

The place where the Taiping Sect was founded is located on a peak beside a stream in the middle reaches of the Taiping River.

There is only one rope to go back and forth, and ordinary people cannot get in at all. If they are not careful, they will fall into the turbulent river.

Only the masters in the martial arts world can walk freely on the tightrope.

A Taoist temple was built on it, named "Shou Sui Temple".

This is the ancestral temple of the Taiping Sect. The Taiping Sect has the largest number of followers among Taoists, but the number of disciples who are truly granted true blessings is even smaller than that of the Three True Sects.

There are only eight or nine people in this generation!
The gym isn't big!
In the garden of Shousui Temple there is a ginkgo tree which is said to be more than 700 years old.

It is tall and straight, with lush branches and leaves. When you look up at night, you can only see a bright moon hanging on the treetops.

Every autumn the trees turn golden, which is really beautiful.

But it was really annoying for the young Taoist priest in the sect. When the autumn wind blew, the fallen leaves rustled down, and it was really hard to sweep them up!
The two young Taoist priests got up early to practice martial arts. Their four senior brothers had already gone down the mountain, leaving only the two of them.

Only those who have reached the Grandmaster level can go down the mountain and pass through the iron chain.

The iron chain is seventy to eighty feet long, and there is a roaring waterfall below. Most people would die if they went down.

Even large ships dare not sail, as there are undercurrents in the river, and if you are not careful, the ship will be destroyed and people will die!
There's only one way out!
Practice your skills honestly and cross the iron chains.

As for whether the world outside is good or not, the two little Taoist children don’t know. They have been adopted by their master since they were young and have never seen the colorful world outside.

Just know!
Several senior brothers tried their best to get out, but they never came back since then.

I don't miss my "junior brother"!
The two little Taoist priests were a little worried.

The young Taoist priest also asked his master, "The iron lock is broken, what should I do?"

They don't want to spend their whole lives watching over the New Year in this temple.

The old Taoist priest laughed and said, "Just fly over there!"

The little Taoist priest curled his lips and walked away with the broom.

"I'm here to talk to you seriously, Master, you're just bragging!"

It's 70 to 80 feet, how can people fly over there?
What a coincidence today!
Two little Taoist priests pushed open the door with brooms.

Just see!
A tall old Taoist priest, wearing a linen Taoist robe and a lotus crown on his head. His hair, eyebrows and beard were all gray, but his face was still purple and red, and he looked energetic.

This is their master "Xuan Tianzi", the abbot of Shousui Temple.

There were only three of them in the temple, two disciples and one master.

The two young Taoist priests were not in a hurry. They looked at each other, smiled, and watched their master sweep the floor while holding the broom.

Xuan Tianzi looked at his two disciples and shouted:
"Why don't you come and help!"

The two of them swept slowly and calmly.

The young Taoist priest suggested:
"Master, why don't you cut down this tree? It's dropping leaves every day, it's really annoying."

Xuan Tianzi stroked his beard and said:
"Your senior brother asked the same question back then. Guess what?"

The young Taoist asked tentatively: "I was beaten!"

"I know, why are you asking?"

The young Taoist priest said angrily: "Haha, this was planted by the Taiping Patriarch back then. You can't cut it down, you can't cut it down!"

"Seven hundred year old trees are very valuable and cannot be cut down."

Both of them had been beaten by their master many times, so they were still a little scared.

By the time the three had finished sweeping, the old Taoist priest had already prepared a vegetarian meal for the two of them.

The two Taoists had strange looks on their faces, as they were usually the ones who prepared it.

What happened today!
The old Taoist priest asked, "Master, am I going down the mountain this time?"

The young Taoist priest knew that his master would go down the mountain every one or two years and come back after a few days.

But today I swept the yard and cooked vegetarian food.

That's strange!
The old Taoist priest urged:
"After eating, go do your homework!"

The clever little Taoist priest noticed something different and asked:
"Master, you are not going down the mountain to fight, are you afraid of losing?"

If it were normal!
The master would always say with a smile: "I am afraid that I will not be able to stop myself and send the other party away, and I will also have to help them to transcend!"

Unexpected!
This time the old Taoist nodded slightly.

They were both surprised!
"Let's go, let's go!"

The old Taoist priest coaxed the two people away and looked up at the tall ginkgo tree.

The branches are lush and the leaves are golden.

The old Taoist muttered to himself:
"I planted this tree when I first started practicing martial arts. I never thought it would grow tall and majestic now."

"Shou Sui Guan, guarding peace for the world, no one shall be left behind!"

"Lu Chen, I don't want to kill you, but you shouldn't have gone this far!"
