Are you addicted to fairy? Just give it a try!.

"Tell me what reward you want, and the sect will do its best to satisfy you!"

Zhang Wei was excited when he heard Master Xiao Lei’s generous speech.

However, Zhang Wei thought about it carefully and found that he didn't need anything. After all, he had obtained most of the gains from the Lianxu Relics, so he was not short of resources for the time being.

Besides, he already has enough. If he keeps such a generous reward to himself, he will inevitably be coveted by others.

In this case, why not...

So he said, "My disciples are not short of treasures, but my master has devoted all his energy to Qingtian Peak over the years and has been stuck at the peak of the Spiritualization Realm for many years without making any progress. How about you discuss with the sect and ask them to increase their investment in Qingtian Peak? It would be even better if you could support my master in breaking through to the Void Refining Realm!"

Hearing Zhang Wei's words, the faces of the Lianxu elders and Zhan Xingzhi next to them changed, and the way they looked at Zhang Wei also changed.

With their level of cultivation, they can naturally see that Zhang Wei's words are not pretentious, but are sincere!
He was really willing to give up the sect's reward and give it to others!
They haven't seen anything like this in many years!

Zhan Xingzhi was also very moved.

This cheap disciple that he had luckily accepted, whom he had been with for less than a year, actually cared so much about him as his master!
But Zhan Xingzhi still said, "Zijie! What nonsense are you talking about! You, a young man, don't need to worry about my master's affairs!
If you have that much time, you might as well find a way to quickly break through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm and help me and your uncles to relieve some of the burden!"

Zhang Wei smiled and said, "It is precisely because I don't want to be in charge that I want you to improve, Master! If you can break through the Void Refining Realm, I will be able to go out with confidence in the future!"

"Hey, you kid!"

Elder Qing Chi shook his head upon seeing this, and stopped the two of them, saying, "Alright, alright, you two, stop playing the master-son-filial act in front of us old men!"

"It's not so easy to achieve the state of refining emptiness."

“There are more than a hundred peaks in the sect, and there are quite a few inner disciples and even peak masters who have reached the peak of the Spiritualization Realm. However, most of them will never be able to cross that threshold in their entire lives, and can only sit and die in the ten thousand years. Even we can’t help you too much with this, Xiao Zhan. It all depends on you!”

As they spoke, Qing Chi and the others looked at Zhan Xingzhi with an apologetic look.

Zhan Xingzhi was not disappointed. He had gotten used to it over the years. He just said calmly, "Disciple knows!"

Then Master Xiao Lei said with a smile: "But there is no problem in asking the sect to increase investment in Qingtian Peak. Since you have made up your mind, we will not say anything."

As they spoke, Master Xiao Lei and the others all cast teasing glances at Zhang Wei, obviously knowing everything about Zhang Wei's affairs.

But nothing was said.

The Shenxiao Sect is still very fair.

Unless you discover an opportunity but cannot handle it and need the sect to take action, the sect will give you a portion of the harvest as a reward afterwards.

Otherwise, as long as the person who discovers the opportunity has the ability, it is okay for him to take all the opportunities he finds outside. This is also the unspoken rule among the major sects and forces.

People like Zhang Wei, who discovered a treasure and had the ability to monopolize it, but still reported it to the sect and gave the lion's share to the sect, are rare among the major forces!

He is truly a model disciple in the eyes of all the sect leaders!
Must be cultivated well!
Then Master Xiao Lei stretched out his hand and grabbed the fishing rod and Yuanzhou Treasure Boat in his hand, and said to Zhang Wei.

"Since you brought back these two things, it means you have sailed to the Starry Sea. Did you gain anything?"

Zhang Wei shook his head and said, "I caught a fish, but I didn't want to eat it."

Elder Qing Chi asked with a smile: "Why don't you eat?"

Zhang Wei thought for a moment and said, "God is merciful... At first I thought they were just ordinary spiritual fish, but after I caught them I found out that they were the geniuses of the world. It would be fine if they didn't have any spiritual intelligence, but I saw them grow and transform with my own eyes. I couldn't bear to feed them for my own selfish desires, so I just let them go."

"Oh, you are still a compassionate person!"

An elder from the Lianxu Sect snorted and said this, his tone unclear whether it was mockery or praise.

But Elder Xiao Lei smiled and said, "Compassion is never wrong. It is because of your compassion that you have not done something irreparable.

Although Tianjiao fish is delicious, this method is too contrary to the laws of nature and morality. Once eaten, it is equivalent to going astray!

Not only that, if you eat it, you can certainly gain the luck of that genius from the lower world, but it will also create hidden dangers for yourself.

How many people can resist such easily acquired power?
Desire... is like a rolling stone. Once it starts, there is no way to stop.

There are many cultivators in the world who, after entering the sea of ​​stars and eating the first spirit fish transformed from a genius from the lower realm, become addicted to it after receiving the blessing of the luck of the whole realm.

He only cares about the trivial and only relies on the offerings of the creatures in the lower world. In the end, he becomes a demon king who destroys small worlds by any means necessary to satisfy his own selfish desires. "

At this point, Master Xiao Lei looked up at Zhang Wei and said with a smile: "If you, Zijie, did something like that, even if you have achieved what you have today, I will definitely kill you!"

As soon as the word "kill" was uttered, Zhang Wei instantly felt that his inner defense seemed to be broken apart by this word, and he couldn't help but speak according to his inner thoughts.

"Follow the elders' instructions!"

Zhang Wei's face became serious and he bowed to Master Xiao Lei.

Elder Qing Chi continued, "Zijie, you are about to break through to the Spiritual Transformation stage. In this case, you are still qualified to understand some of the secrets of our world."

Zhang Wei: "Please give me some advice, Elder Qingchi!"

Qing Chi smiled and said, "Do you know what our world is like?"

Zhang Wei thought about it and asked tentatively, "Is the sky round and the earth square?"

However, Qing Chi shook his head and said, "No, no, no, the land and ocean beneath our feet are round, it's a ball!"

Zhang Wei: “?!”

Qing Chi seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Wei's surprised expression, and smiled and said: "The vast world we are in is actually a ball. How about it, isn't it incredible?"

Zhang Wei reacted and laughed dryly, "Yes...it's incredible."

With a background in cultivating immortals, he heard that the world he lived in was not a plane but a planet. He also learned this from the Venerable Lianxu. The impact on Zhang Wei was no less than when he was just born and found out that he had traveled through time!
At this time, Qing Chi continued, "Outside the vast world is the boundless void, which we call the universe, taking the meaning of the four directions and the up and down as the universe, and the past and the present as the universe.

The universe is dotted with countless stars.

Some stars are extremely small, while some stars have diameters that are not inferior to those of Dongzhou. The creatures on them are active and full of spiritual energy. The environment is in no way inferior to those secret realms that were created naturally by the heaven and earth or opened up by cultivators.

And on some stars, there are cultivation systems and civilizations that are very different from our vast world, such as magic, fighting spirit, martial spirits, witchcraft, and totems.

It’s just that most of the worlds are the same as those you encountered in the starry sea. They are too weak. Although there are methods of cultivation, they are not even as strong as a stone in our vast world. Even if ordinary people take a trip to these worlds, they can destroy them alive!
Moreover, the speed of time flow in these worlds is different from that in my Vast World, and is much slower than that in our Vast World.

Some of them even traveled hundreds of millions of years in just a blink of an eye, and then the world collapsed and turned into an inconspicuous firework in the vast universe.

Only after reaching the realm of refining emptiness can one control oneself so as not to accidentally cause direct damage to these worlds, or even control the flow of one's own time to integrate into them.

But even so, sometimes our overflowing divine thoughts will infect these worlds, and the creatures in these worlds, with their weak lives and cultivation, cannot bear it, just like Dao Ran, so that in the end a large number of them go crazy, and even the whole world becomes distorted!"

Master Xiao Lei stopped laughing at this time, and sighed sadly: "So you have to be careful when you go out in the future. I accidentally infected a small world some time ago.

Although it was successfully controlled in the end, some creatures were infected and went crazy. They even held sacrifices to me, calling me the Ancient God Lord of Laughing or something like that.

You pray to me every day, which makes it impossible for me to practice in peace during this period! Now your fishing rod and Yuanzhou treasure boat are just in time. With these treasures, I can communicate with them normally without destroying them!

So that they don’t understand what I mean and continue to hold sacrifices on their own, and some of the rituals are even very weird! ”

Zhang Wei: "..."

Zhang Wei was so exhausted.

Although his experience in the fog sea had prepared him mentally for the fact that he was a "higher life form", he still felt incredible when he heard Qing Chi admit it in person.

What is this? I woke up from my dying illness, and the evil god turned out to be me?! Other colleagues who traveled through time and space ascended to a higher level world step by step, but I was at the end that they had to try their best to reach by chance?
At this time, Zhang Wei had an idea and asked, "Doesn't that mean that the legendary fairyland is also a higher-level planet, and the relationship between us and these low-level worlds is the same?"

"This is a conjecture that has been made before."

Elder Qing Chi nodded in appreciation, then sighed and shook his head, saying, "But unfortunately, until now, countless ancestors have searched for countless years, but have not found an existence more powerful than our Haomiao Realm. Perhaps it exists in a corner of the vast starry sky, still quietly waiting for our discovery.

Or maybe, our cultivation is not enough, just like those people in the lower world cannot see us, and even if they see us, they will only regard us as incomprehensible existence.

We also cannot understand the existence of real immortals.

Only by continuing to practice and elevating one's own realm to the same level as immortals can one see things that were previously invisible.

But unfortunately... up to now, there is no record of anyone who has succeeded. Even the founder of the Seven Sects of Dongzhou has not truly transcended this world, so it is just speculation."

As he spoke, Qing Chi smiled, and his tone changed from serious to soothing.

"Okay, the reason why I told you so much, Zijie, is just to give you some precautions in advance, so that you won't do anything irreversible when you leave the vast world and travel in the void.

After all, although these worlds are weak, no one knows whether there are dormant dragons in them. There was once an example where a survivor of a destroyed world reincarnated into another world by chance, practiced and ascended all the way, and finally became a Refining Void Venerable, and then killed the cultivator who destroyed his world. "

"You must know that there are always people better than you. Zijie, although you are very talented, you are not the first one in history, and you may not be the last one in the future. If you treat those creatures you look down upon with arrogance, one day you will fall into the hands of those creatures you look down upon!"

After hearing Elder Qingchi's warning, Zhang Wei immediately responded: "Disciple understands!"

"good!"

Qing Chi nodded, and then said something without any context.

"For most practitioners in the world, immortality is the ultimate pursuit, but only when we reach this level do we know that immortality... is also a calamity! Remember this sentence, and go down!"

After saying this, Elder Qingchi waved his sleeves, and he and several other Lianxu masters closed their eyes and began to meditate again.

Zhang Wei and Zhan Xingzhi also bowed and took their leave.

After leaving the Qingtian Palace, Zhang Wei couldn't wait to ask: "Master, what does Elder Qingchi mean when he said that immortality is a catastrophe?"

Zhan Xingzhi paused, looked at Zhang Wei, and remembered that Zhang Wei was not far from the Spirit Transformation Realm, so he decided not to hide it anymore.

He smiled and explained: "You also know that the Refining Void Realm is not the end point. Above it is the Fusion Realm, and above the Fusion Realm, there is the Mahayana Realm that only the founder of my Shenxiao Sect and the two predecessors Shenshu have clearly cultivated to!"

"And the fusion state is also called the fusion state by us."

"Refining the Void and merging with the Dao, that's all, but do you know how to merge with the Dao?"

Zhang Wei shook his head.

Zhan Xingzhi said: "Go out on your own path. Whether it is the most superficial elemental path of the Five Elements, or the more ethereal concept path, no matter if there are other people on this path, or if anyone has walked on it, as long as you set foot on it, it can be called the state of harmony with the Tao."

"It doesn't sound difficult." Zhang Wei said doubtfully.

"Yes, it's not difficult, but this has stopped almost 90% of the Void Refining cultivators. Do you know why?" Zhan Xingzhi asked with a smile.

Zhang Wei shook his head honestly.

Zhan Xingzhi restrained his smile, looked far away and said: "Because immortality is also the Tao, and the Refining Void Realm is already immortality!"

Zhan Xingzhi's words were like a thunderclap exploding in Zhang Wei's mind.

Zhang Wei: "Could it be..."

"Most cultivators practice cultivation for the purpose of longevity."

“No matter what technique they practice, what kind of body they possess, or what kind of power they possess, immortality is their driving force and the ultimate pursuit of cultivation!”

"They themselves have not realized that the obsession with immortality has been integrated into their Taoism. By the time they break through the realm of refining emptiness and gain an endless lifespan, they have already been firmly trapped by the shackles of immortality!"

"The goal of immortality has been achieved. If that's the case, why do you still want to continue practicing? And the state of unity with the Tao requires you to walk your own path, but you have been on the path of immortality all the time. The contradiction and confusion in the logic before and after is enough to block 90% of the cultivators of the Void Refining Realm and prevent them from continuing!"

“What’s more, cultivators in the Void Refining Realm are free from illness and disaster and can enjoy an endless lifespan. Even the vast universe is unlikely to cause harm to beings at this level.

It can be said that unless a cultivator of the Lianxu realm is killed by a powerful person of the same level or even stronger, or he voluntarily leaves his body and passes away, it is almost impossible for him to die!

Compared with the cultivators in the Lianxu realm, the cultivators in the Hedao realm not only do not have any obvious changes in strength and lifespan, but because of the Hedao realm, they need to go through the three kinds of natural tribulations: wind, fire, and thunder.

The wind disaster confuses the god and seals your soul!
Fire burns your flesh!
The most dangerous lightning disaster will shatter the path of a cultivator!

Therefore, cultivators in the Hedao realm are not only not strong, but are actually weaker than ordinary Lianxu realm cultivators.

Only those monks who have safely survived these three disasters have a chance to fully practice their own path and achieve Mahayana status!

If it were you, what would you choose? "

After listening to Zhan Xingzhi's explanation, Zhang Wei couldn't calm down for a long time.

It turns out that there are so many tricks to reach the state of Hedao above Lianxu.

Difficulties have never been an obstacle that prevents cultivators from climbing up; comfort is.

When one can already achieve immortality in the Lianxu realm, the Hedao realm not only does not bring any benefits but also adds dangers.

Under such circumstances, naturally not many Void Refining cultivators would be willing to take the risk and fight for an unknown future.

What's more, it is very difficult for the cultivators of the refining realm who are pursuing the path of immortality to escape from the logic of conflict, and it is almost impossible for them to achieve harmony with the Tao.

It can be said that on the path to immortality, the realm of refining emptiness is already the end point.

That is why some cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm suddenly die in battle.

The road to advancement has been blocked, and one has grown tired of enjoying the world's prosperity. In addition, most of the people one cares about have passed away. Anyone would probably have thoughts of committing suicide.

And if you force yourself to live, then you will eventually just live for the sake of living, and become a scum of the world like a certain old bug. It would be better to be dead.

But if one does not cultivate immortality with the purpose of achieving immortality from the beginning...how many of such people can actually cultivate to the stage of refining emptiness?

That's why Zhan Xingzhi looked so secretive towards him at the beginning.

In his opinion, if Zhang Wei holds the goal of immortality, he can at least cultivate to the Void Refinement Realm. But if he is told in advance and makes him confused, he will probably have difficulty even breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Realm!

However, after learning all this, Zhang Wei did not feel much panic.

It’s as if... immortality is not a high priority in his mind!

Zhang Wei scratched his head and planned to think about it carefully after returning, so he said to Zhan Xingzhi: "In this case, Master, I have some things to do at home, so I will take my leave first!"

"Well... practice hard and don't think about those trivial things. You are not qualified to say you don't care about anything until you have it."

As if worried that Zhang Wei would get into a dead end, Zhan Xingzhi patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder and comforted him. Then, halfway through his speech, he suddenly remembered something and slapped his forehead in anxiety.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Senior Uncle Zhou Yu from the Foreign Affairs Peak came to see me for something! Zijie, I'm leaving first!"

After saying that, Zhan Xingzhi hurriedly flew away from Qingtian Peak.

Looking at his master's hurried back, Zhang Wei shook his head and laughed, then spread his golden thunder wings and flew towards his own cave.
