Man in the heavens, wins by lying down to prove the truth

Chapter 142 A higher level of road, to ascend to heaven

The entire East was in turmoil due to the body-training school passed down by Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng, the instigator of all this, was now a guest in a mountain temple within the territory of Chu State.

The temple was in a dilapidated state, with vines growing all over the walls and little incense.

There were only two monks in the temple, an old ascetic and a young novice who was less than ten years old.

……

In a courtyard deep in the temple, Zhou Cheng sat under an ancient tree, seemingly resting with his eyes closed.

The divine light and demonic energy that appeared and disappeared, along with the power of life and death, flowed in Zhou Cheng's body, brewing and dormant.

Suddenly, Zhou Cheng opened his eyes and saw an old monk in tattered linen clothes walking towards him with the young monk. They put their hands together in front of Zhou Cheng and then kowtowed to him.

"This time, I was able to achieve the sixth level, all thanks to Senior Zhou's guidance... I have nothing to repay you, but if you have any orders, I will do my best."

The old monk lowered his eyebrows and looked respectful, and was very grateful to Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "No need to do that. I travel the world only to spread the Dharma. If you value cause and effect, then just consider it as my reward for staying here for more than a month. I will leave in a few days."

Upon hearing this, the old monk said nothing more, served the vegetarian meal, and then bowed to Zhou Cheng again to say goodbye.

Looking at the old monk's back as he left the courtyard, Zhou Cheng also felt a little emotional.

"No matter which world you are in, such pure ascetics are rare."

In most Buddhist temples of the world, there are very few such people.

Especially before Zhou Cheng traveled through time, many temples had been turned into businesses, and there was even a joking description of "Buddha saved the Yuan people".

After sighing, Zhou Cheng half-closed his eyes, his blood and energy surged, his divine power surged, his soul glowed brightly, and three rays of divine light were born, manifesting as three precious lotuses above his head.

During this period of time, Zhou Cheng has been studying the laws of heaven and earth in the world of the God's Tomb. At the same time, he has been refining the Tai Chi God and Demon Diagram, and comprehending the mystery of the balance between life and death, and has gained some knowledge.

"The gathering of the three flowers at the top of the head is considered as the beginning of the path to the ultimate truth. Today, I will take the second step with the immortal secret of the God's Tomb World."

Just like the nine levels of quasi-emperors in later generations, with each level representing a new heaven, Zhou Cheng’s nine levels of flower blossoming also saw a transformation at each level.

Boom!

With the roar of spirit, energy and spirit, the World Treasure Tree floated above Zhou Cheng's head, absorbing fragments of the great Dao between heaven and earth, transforming itself and Zhou Cheng.

The tremendous power revived from Zhou Cheng's body and poured into the inner world.

The inner world is the most essential part of the God's Tomb cultivation system. Starting from the sixth level, the transformation of all realms is based on the improvement of the inner world.

The originally vast and boundless inner world was opening up madly, breaking through layers of chaos. The raging energy, under the combing of the World Tree, condensed into bright stars, suspended in the newly opened void of the inner world.

As time goes by, in the new inner world, stars are suspended and turn into a boundless starry sky.

The original heaven and earth evolved into a life star, on which the world's treasure tree took root, emitting endless vitality and pushing the entire world to complete its final transformation.

Today, Zhou Cheng's inner world has transcended the scope of the small world and can be called a seed and prototype of the universe, but it is still imperfect.

The process of transformation of the inner world was also fed back to Zhou Cheng.

The pure origin of the world spread from the inner heaven and earth, sweeping through Zhou Cheng's body and soul. Under the nourishment of this original force, his spirit, energy and spirit intertwined the laws between heaven and earth, transforming the immortal characteristics of this world's heavenly masters to the extreme.

Pong!
Brilliant divine light flames rose from Zhou Cheng's body, and his entire body was completely transformed. Every ray of divine light was transforming at this moment, becoming more difficult to erase.

The divine treasures between Zhou Cheng’s eyebrows, in his chest and in his dantian became brighter and brighter, and purer divine mists of gold, silver and jade rose up.

Above Zhou Cheng's head, three little spirits looked solemn, sitting upright on the lotus of the avenue.

At this time, as the transformation was completed, a new layer of buds actually grew in the center of the lotus, wrapping up Zhou Cheng's soul, and it seemed to be about to bloom.

"This is the second level of the extreme world..."

Zhou Cheng slowly opened his eyes, and the aura lingering around his body began to slowly recede, and the two-grade Taoist flowers on his head also slowly disappeared.

Just like the quasi-emperor realm in later generations, the quasi-emperor level cultivates the five great secret realms. Every step of improvement represents the completion of a transformation of the five great secret realms.

Zhou Cheng's flower blossomed to the ninth level, which also represented the ninth level of the extreme realm. Every transformation required a great sublimation of the three treasures of spirit, energy and soul.

"Condensing the three flowers is considered the first step on the road to the ultimate path. Mastering the immortal secret of the balance between life and death is what needs to be accomplished in the second stage."

Zhou Cheng has a clear plan for his own system.

Subsequently, every time you master the essence of a cultivation system and integrate it into your own path, it means you are one step closer to the ultimate realm.

After the flower blooms to the ninth level and achieves the ultimate state, Zhou Chengbi will be much stronger than ordinary emperors in later generations.

"The path for the second stage has been determined. All that is left is to practice step by step..."

“Perhaps in this world, we can still find the way to the third stage.”

Zhou Cheng's eyes were shining with divine light, and a scripture appeared in front of him, which was the general outline of the Demon Summoning Sutra.

The general outline of the Demon Summoning Sutra, in addition to expounding the ultimate mystery of guiding both gods and demons, also includes a section on demonic power, so it is called the Demon Summoning Sutra rather than the Demon Summoning Sutra.

"Divinity and demoniac nature, two forces that are both contradictory and unified, yet completely different."

If Zhou Cheng wants to use his own strength to refine the Tai Chi God and Demon Diagram, he needs to use the power of life and death to evolve the god and demon natures.

The Demon Summoning Sutra itself is already the most advanced magic skill in this world, but there are some supreme classics that can be ranked alongside the Demon Summoning Sutra, or even slightly better.

For example...Taishangqinglu.

The Supreme Record of Forgetfulness is also known as the first miracle in the heavens. Even the Summoning Demon Sutra can only compete with it by relying on the immortal consciousness between heaven and earth.

However, whether it is the Taishang Wangqinglu or the Summoning Demon Sutra, they are actually a pit.

The Demon Summoning Sutra is a technique that involves setting up formations within the body to draw in the immortal consciousness between heaven and earth, allowing it to be resurrected or even to take over the place of the immortal spirit.

The practitioner of Tai Shang Wang Qing Lu will transform into a ruthless divine body, and eventually reach the state of breaking out of the cocoon and being reborn, giving birth to a perfect "self".

But this kind of rebirth is actually slowly killing oneself. Eventually, the new "self" will take control, kill the original "self", and then become the nourishment of the creator of the law, 'Tai Shang'.

Zhou Cheng definitely had no intention of practicing the Tai Shang Wang Qing Lu, but it was still necessary for him to study the divinity of forgetfulness by using this greatest skill in the heavens.

Once you master both the divine and the demonic natures, perhaps you can set foot on the path to the third stage.

"This Tai Shang Wang Qing Lu reminds me of a technique from another world... The Demonic Sutra of Immortality." Zhou Cheng's eyes gleamed with divine light.

The information Zhou Cheng knew was incomplete, and the only person who was absolutely sure to obtain the Tai Shang Wang Qing Lu was the Fairy Wuqing in Heaven.

The ruthless fairy in the heaven is another self created by Chen Nan’s lover Yu Xin.

"It seems that Chen Nan and I are destined to be together."

Zhou Cheng sighed, and then a vertical line appeared between his eyebrows, like a chaotic crack, emitting rays of brilliant light, illuminating the human world.

"Is this... trouble?"

Zhou Cheng's eyes were fixed on the western continent and he saw Chen Nan's figure.

However, Chen Nan seems to be in a bad situation at this stage.

……

In the air, a 40-foot-long multicolored dragon from the West soared, its multicolored scales glittering, and a pair of crystal dragon horns on its head. This was a standard Western dragon, but in Zhou Cheng's eyes, it was actually closer to a so-called dinosaur, or a lizard with wings.

Opposite this five-colored divine dragon, a rogue dragon with a true form of more than thirty feet was swimming in the air. Its purple-gold dragon scales emitted a halo, but compared with the five-colored lizard, its size was not at all advantageous.

Next to the rogue dragon were Chen Nan and the baby dragon, in addition to a small western silver dragon.

"Four-legged lizard, damned skin! I, Landroni, have been looking for you for thousands of years. Today I will tear you into pieces!"

The giant dragon Landroni roared wildly, and a large amount of strong wind spewed out of his huge bloody mouth, which turned into thousands of cold and shining magic wind blades, instantly submerging the purple-gold dragon.

"The Purple Gold Immortal, undefeated in the West, suppresses the lizards, who dares not to obey?"

The rogue dragon howled like a wolf, and endless purple-gold dragon claw phantoms swept across the sky and earth, shaking the space and forming layers of ripples that swept across.

The countless magical blades quickly shattered the moment they touched the ripples in space, and dissipated like a dream bubble.

"You still dare to be a jerk? You're dead today!"

The colorful giant dragon shouted in anger and attacked with all his strength at the same time. Endless ice, fire, wind and thunder swept over and transformed into layers of magical forbidden areas, pressing madly towards the rogue dragon.

Faced with the terrifying magical means, the Ruffian Dragon, who had not yet recovered to his peak state, was no match at all. He was like a small boat on a tsunami that could capsize at any time.

"No, we have to go help Uncle Purple Gold Dragon!" The little phoenix spoke softly.

At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the void, accompanied by the roaring sound of a rushing river, endless life and death turned into a dazzling black and gold river in the sky, sweeping across the heaven and earth.

"Looks like I came at the right time."

As Zhou Cheng's voice rang out, the Yin and Yang Rivers also intertwined, sheltering the rogue dragon inside.

"senior!"

Chen Nan looked at Zhou Cheng with surprise as he walked towards him in the void.

Ruffian Dragon also saw Zhou Cheng and became arrogant again: "Damn lizard, you are dead today! The one standing in front of me is the famous Eastern Martial Ancestor!"

Not only has Zhou Cheng's body-refining school spread thoroughly, it has also now made quite a splash in the Eastern Continent.

After Chen Nan, Pi Zilong and others came into contact with the body refining school's exercises, they determined that the legendary Martial Ancestor who had just been born was most likely the mysterious senior they met in the Eternal Forest, and was suspected to be the forbidden existence in the ancient legends.

"Today, whoever comes will die!"

The five-colored dragon roared and spewed out a terrifying ice storm, which even enveloped Zhou Cheng.

"How dare you be so presumptuous!"

Zhou Cheng shouted, and the heaven and earth seemed to welcome him. In an instant, they became gloomy. Thunder danced wildly and turned into a spear of light, shooting straight at the colorful dragon.

"Ow!"

With a miserable dragon cry, a huge five-colored dragon fell into the wild. A spear that was a hundred feet long pierced through it and nailed it to the ground.

Zhou Cheng no longer paid attention to the colorful lizard and his eyes fell on Chen Nan.

"It looks like you've gotten into quite a bit of trouble."

Chen Nan also felt something was wrong at this time. Many figures in the crowd were staring at him, and their auras were locking onto Chen Nan.

Among them, a giant ape with a height of three meters flew out from the western holy city of Baidan. It had six heads and exuded an oppressive aura as heavy as Mount Tai.

"The Demonic Ape? I don't think I ever provoked this monster before?"

Ruffian Long thought hard and it seemed that he had never offended this top powerful man from the West.

At this time, the six divine and demonic apes had already approached, but their eyes first fell on Zhou Cheng.

The means Zhou Cheng just displayed were somewhat similar to those of a powerful person who surpassed the highest level of the human world and used his own mysterious realm of heaven and earth to influence the outside world. If he wanted to intervene in today's affairs, it would indeed be a bit troublesome.

"Respected Eastern Martial Ancestor, the Du family of the Eastern Land Royal Family is willing to pay a Xuan Realm to buy Chen Nan's body. As long as you don't interfere, we can share it with you."

The Divine Demon Ape had no idea of ​​Zhou Cheng's abilities, and this mysterious Eastern Martial Ancestor seemed to have some connection with the goal of this trip, which made him extremely wary.

"It's outrageous. These dogs are worthy of being called the royal family of the East. What a bunch of ungrateful people!" Chen Nan couldn't help but grit his teeth.

At this time, Chen Nan had already learned some of the deeds of his father Chen Zhan after his death.

The Du family's Xuan Realm was originally a relic of Chen Zhan's comprehending the seed of the perfect world. It was given to the ancestor of the Du family at that time, hoping that he would take care of the resurrected Chen Nan after he gained the benefits.

But I didn’t expect that after Chen Nan was resurrected, the Du family not only did not help, but also had ill intentions.

"You two, come out too."

Zhou Cheng ignored the demon ape and his eyes fell on Baidan City.

Then a three-headed golden dragon and an old man with disheveled white hair flew out. Three figures of different shapes stood side by side, and a heavy pressure swept over.

"It's over, it's over. Chilaons, the Demonic Ape... and that human are all extremely skilled!"

The silver dragon next to the ruffian dragon spoke in panic.

On the contrary, Pi Zilong looked calm and said, "Don't worry, Senior Wu Zu is here. No matter what extreme masters are there, even if they are real gods and demons, the main gods are just ants!"

In front of the ancient forbidden master, gods are no different from mortals.

"Chen Nan, I will help you solve some problems and then take you to the heaven to meet your Yu Xin. You also need to do me a favor. How about that?"

When Chen Nan heard Zhou Cheng mention Yu Xin, he was no longer calm.

Although he got news about Yu Xin from Zhou Cheng, Chen Nan still has not found a way to go to heaven.

"As long as you ask, Chen Nan will do anything for you, even if it means death!" Chen Nan said hurriedly.

Zhou Cheng laughed and said, "That's not the case."

After saying this, Zhou Cheng raised his right hand, and a state of mind swept across heaven and earth.

At this moment, all the onlookers felt as if the sky was pressing down on them.

The first to bear the brunt were naturally the three gods, demons and apes. Endless pressure hung over them, as if the weight of the human world was pressing on them.

Boom!

Like stars falling to the ground, three streams of light smashed into deep pits on the ground. The entire earth was shaking, forming abysses that spread like a spider web.

"Ahem... No, it's impossible!"

Looks of fear appeared on the six heads of the Divine Demon Ape. He was the direct descendant of the most powerful Divine Demon. Even a true seventh-level master could not suppress him so easily.

"A person who has sneaked in from the heaven... It must be a person who has sneaked in from the heaven. Please arrest him, law enforcer..." The white-haired old man's bones were crackling all over his body. In an instant, countless bones were broken. He trembled and wanted to call for the law enforcer from the Western Land.

The three-headed golden dragon could not bear it any more and fainted directly.

"He who kills will be killed, all living things are the same, and so am I."

Zhou Cheng waved his hand while speaking.

The vast earth trembled, as if it had received an order, and directly swallowed up the figures of a dragon, an ape and a man, without any breath emanating from them.

　The background of Tomb of the Gods is too complicated, and I can't remember a lot of things. I was really looking it up while writing, and the progress is too slow. I owe everyone an update, and I will definitely make up for it.
