The Fate of Eternal Life

Chapter 3: Polishing the Sea of ​​Bitterness and Planning the Holy Mountain
In the blink of an eye, a month has passed since Ning Qingyi obtained Ge Hong's inheritance.

During this period, he worked day and night, forgetting to eat and sleep. He first studied the Taoist Scriptures·Wheel Sea Volume, but found that even though he had studied Taoist classics day and night for four years in college, he still found them obscure and difficult to understand. He also could not get into the Lingbao Scriptures·Wheel Sea Volume and the Taiyin Ancient Scriptures·Wheel Sea Volume.

That's right, according to the Taoist Canon, although he has some qualifications, he is generally just an ordinary person. He lacks the Taoism and comprehension. It is simply a pipe dream for him to want to comprehend the profound meaning of the Emperor's Scripture without anyone's guidance.

He also considered burning his lifespan to use the Minor Destiny Technique to enhance his understanding and comprehend the profound meaning of the Emperor's Scripture, but when he thought of the nature of the Heaven-shaking Man who fought against heaven and earth, he knew that this idea would pose a great hidden danger to the future, so he gave up the idea and finally began to practice Ge Hong's Quasi-Emperor's Scripture.

And perhaps taking into account the possibility that the person with the predestined relationship may have low qualifications, the Daotai where the ancient scripture "Baopuzi" is stored is also a rare treasure that can help people understand the true meaning of the scripture.

"The most spiritual of all living things is man. Beings of noble character should be guided by the principles of immortality, seeking tranquility and inaction, forgetting their physical form."

Sitting on the Taoist platform, an old Taoist priest wearing Taoist robes from the pre-Qin period, with white hair and a youthful face appeared in Ning Qingyi's mind. As he spoke, the true meaning of Baopuzi's Wheel Sea Scroll flowed through his heart.

Whenever he heard it, he couldn't help but sigh at the master Ge Hong's exquisite Taoism and his insightful and insightful description of the true meaning of the wheel sea.

Now, a month has passed, and he has become familiar with the mysteries of the scriptures on the two realms of Wheel Sea and Breaking Through the Life Spring. It is time to break through.

Ning Qingyi took the three first-level golden pills that had been prepared long ago, took out one and swallowed it.

boom!
As soon as the golden elixir entered his body, it turned into saliva, and an extremely pure medicinal power surged into his limbs and bones. He calmly practiced his profound skills, looked inward at the sea of ​​suffering, and digested the medicinal power of the golden elixir.

In an instant, the bitter sea shone brightly, and the medicinal power transformed into a rosy glow in the sky, which came into contact with the blue-black bitter sea, steaming out thousands of divine auras, and instantly melted into a large area.

"Cleanse the mysteries, maintain the female and embrace the One, concentrate on the energy and achieve gentleness, calm down and be tranquil"

The profound meaning of the scriptures flowed in his heart, and the atmosphere of the Sea of ​​Bitterness became more and more mysterious. The fragments of the Great Dao contained in the golden elixir were stimulated to the limit, baptizing his whole body. Under this great tonic, the Sea of ​​Bitterness trembled, and the divine light connected to the wheel of life. The vigorous essence surged, and rays of light were emitted in the Sea of ​​Bitterness.

Until this moment, Ning Qingyi's Sea of ​​Bitterness Realm was considered to be fully accomplished, but this was only the beginning.

He looked at his wheel of life. It should have only had twenty-three marks on it, but now it was covered with dense cracks. This was the price he paid for activating the Minor Fate Technique last time.

Ning Qingyi swallowed the second golden elixir, and under his guidance, the vigorous medicinal power poured into the wheel of life, as if time was reversed, and the scars disappeared one by one.

He pondered over and over again the opportunity to break through the Fountain of Life, watched the diffused medicinal power of the golden elixir continue to dissolve the sea of ​​suffering, and then swallowed the third golden elixir without hesitation!

One begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things.
At this moment, the fragments of the Great Dao hidden in the three golden elixirs resonated together, and the vigorous life essence shook open the sea of ​​suffering, and finally, with a rumbling sound, a spring of life rose up.

The divine liquid in the life spring gurgled, and the divine light burst out of the sea of ​​suffering and shot straight into the sky, one inch, two inches, three inches, as if it was going to reach the other side.

Ning Qingyi's mind moved slightly, knowing that with the help of the golden elixir, reaching the Divine Bridge Realm was as easy as breaking through a layer of window paper, but he also knew that this was not the best time to break through.

He was about to stop stimulating the power of the Life Spring, but he didn't expect that the hazy shadow of the Gate of Immortality trembled slightly, and the stimulated power actually solidified in mid-air.

Ok?
Ning Qingyi was a little surprised, remembering that the last time he burned his lifespan, the Gate of Immortality also trembled slightly, preventing him from falling into aging and maintaining his youthful posture.

This time, the shadow of the Gate of Eternal Life trembled again, allowing himself to maintain the best condition. It seems that this shadow has some unknown magical uses.

However, he ignored it and instead used his profound skills to calm the remaining medicinal power of the golden elixir, burying it in his physical body and transforming it into potential for cultivation.

A gleam of light flashed in Ning Qing's eyes, and he flew out of the palace and stood among the clouds. For a moment, he felt as light as a god.

This is Yukong!
This is the Life Spring Realm!

His heart was filled with endless joy. He dodged and twirled in the air until his divine power was almost exhausted. He then landed on the ground, drank a sip of the divine spring water, and only looked inward again after regulating his breathing and recovering.

The Sea of ​​Bitterness was completely different from what it was three months ago. It had expanded from the size of a grain of rice into a clear lake of divine power. A furnace-like spring of life lurked beneath the surface of the lake, gushing out a red divine light. Large amounts of essence lingered above the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and wisps of "divine patterns" floated slowly.

This achievement was made possible not only by the profoundness of the text in Baopuzi, but also by the three golden elixirs that seized the fortune of heaven and earth, and the extraordinary and magical shadow of the Gate of Immortality above.

According to scriptures, it goes from easy to difficult for cultivators to open up the Sea of ​​Bitterness. With the combined efforts of scriptures, resources, and physical fitness, when a cultivator reaches a bottleneck or reaches the upper limit, the Sea of ​​Bitterness realm is completed, and they can break through all the way to the Dao Palace realm.

The ancient sages who specialized in cultivating the secret realm of the Wheel Sea were brave and diligent, breaking free from their constraints, and constantly breaking through bottlenecks until they created an incredible ocean of divine power.

Unfortunately, digging deep into the Sea of ​​Bitterness was too difficult. Breaking the limit once or twice was okay, and three, four, and five times had occurred in history. However, even Ge Hong had never heard of anyone who cultivated the Sea of ​​Bitterness alone to the Quasi-Emperor realm.

In the past few months, Ning Qingyi clearly felt that he had no bottleneck in the Sea of ​​Bitterness Realm, or rather, the shadow of the Gate of Eternal Life suppressed the Sea of ​​Bitterness, and even the bottleneck of the Sea of ​​Bitterness was crushed, so his mortal body, on the contrary, had infinite possibilities in the Sea of ​​Bitterness Realm.

But even so, his Taoism and comprehension were not much higher than those of ordinary people, and it took him three months of listening to the Quasi-Emperor's teachings before he broke through to the Life Spring Realm.

If it were Ye Fan, he might have already achieved the Great Perfection of the Wheel of Sea. However, after swallowing the fragments of the Great Dao contained in the Golden Pill, he felt that his understanding of the world was clearer than before. He couldn't help but think of an opportunity in the original novel.

Most of the immortal elixirs in ancient times have the function of assisting in cultivation, improving qualifications, and even allowing emperor-level figures to live another life. After Ye Fan returned to Earth, he entered the decaying Lingshan Mountain and obtained a magic pill made with the Bodhi immortal elixir.

The Nirvana Bodhi seeds can help Ye Fan understand the Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin and the Taoist scriptures. The magic pill must also have the effect of changing qualifications and improving Taoist understanding.

Ning Qingyi carefully recalled the plot of the original novel. To enter Lingshan, one needs to have a small stone Buddha and the secret language of Buddhism, and at the same time, one must have extremely strong cultivation, otherwise those vengeful spirits will not be easy to deal with.

The small stone Buddha is in his hands, and he has some confidence in the secret Buddhist language by burning his lifespan and chanting the small destiny technique. However, he is not sure whether he can survive the various dangers on the way to Lingshan.

He sighed softly and returned to the Taoist platform to practice in seclusion.

Half a year later, there was no one in the snowy area of ​​Tibet.

There are few people here, it is quiet, the sky is clear and blue, with one or two white clouds occasionally, the scenery and air are very pure.

Ning Qingyi silently chanted the secret mantra, and the divine power of the wheel sea in his body boiled. The small stone Buddha in his hand changed from being simple and plain to being brilliant. The divine ring behind his head completely materialized, and the Buddha's eyes seemed to come alive.

After an unknown amount of time, the scenery in the snowy area began to change.

Several huge mountains suddenly appeared on the horizon, towering into the clouds and majestic, as if to suffocate people, but each one was very blurry, like a phantom overlapping with reality, with a vagueness that made it difficult to see clearly.

Immediately afterwards, an ancient road appeared, stretching across the mountains. At the end of the road, a vast Buddhist power surged, which was extraordinary and magical.

Ning Qingyi once again communicated with the spirit of the great sacred artifact Luofu Ding, then took out a few talismans and held them in his hands, and resolutely set foot on the Lingshan Road. He was finally here!

With the blessing of the Minor Fate Technique and a great sacred weapon in hand, he finally decided to give the ruined Lingshan a try.

He moved forward step by step, and the surrounding scenery receded rapidly. A few steps on the ancient road crossed a mountain, and there were many relics on both sides of the road. It was obvious that he had entered a hidden primitive ancient world.

Suddenly, his heart trembled as he saw the skinny, yellow body of an old monk lying beside a rock in front of him. He had been dead for at least a hundred years. There were last words in ancient Sanskrit engraved beside the rock.

Ning Qingyi continued on his way after making some general assumptions. Amid the secret voices, the ancient road continued to extend, and he crossed mountains one after another. He passed by temples and ancient monasteries, and saw the corpses of monks lying there, which formed a sharp contrast with the vast fluctuations of Buddha nature in the distance. The ancient mountains exuded a desolate atmosphere, looking down at him.

Soon the surroundings changed again. Unlike the empty road when we came here, here the ancient trees blocked out the sun and the road was full of vitality. Faintly, one could hear the eagles howling in the sky and the beasts roaring in the mountains and rivers, like thunder, rumbling and deafening, terrifying and frightening.

He became more and more nervous, holding the talisman in his hand, ready to strike a thundering blow against unknown danger at any time.

After walking a thousand miles again, a sudden burst of evil energy came from among the ruined temples.

Ning Qingyi stopped on a whim, and the next moment he saw the small stone Buddha emitting Buddha light, and wailing sounds were heard all around.

Suddenly, a sinister shadow rushed out, darting left and right with incredible speed. It approached with a howl, pouncing on me like a ghost seeking my life.

His expression was solemn, and he began to burn his divine power to transfer it into the small stone Buddha, and the Buddha's light shone brightly.

The ghost quickly retreated, and a scream like a baby crying exploded in his ear.

Ning Qingyi's expression changed, and he quickly calmed his turbulent blood, then looked coldly at the gray shadow's true form that appeared not far away.

This was an old monk, wearing a grey robe, with a huge body, surrounded by black air, a ferocious face, red eyes, and dense scales all over his body, as red as blood. He was so ferocious that he didn't look like a human being.

"I hate……"

"You're looking for Mount Lingshan..." The old monk was surrounded by a dark aura, looking eerie, like a ghost crying out in sorrow: "I've devoted myself to Buddhism, but I haven't found Mount Lingshan. I've risked my life to find it, but in the end, it's fruitless. Why not join me here?"

"Go to your mother!"

Ning Qingyi no longer concealed anything, the divine source in his body burned, the Luofu Ding flew out from the Wheel Sea, and the great sacred weapon rumbled!

The evil ghost monk's face changed drastically.
