Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

Now, a year has passed, and his soul has grown stronger. The most obvious change is that his spiritual consciousness has reached 186 meters.

Compared to a year ago, his spiritual awareness has increased by more than one hundred feet. If it increases by another fourteen feet, his spiritual awareness will be able to break through the limit of the middle stage of the Grand Master and reach the late stage of the Grand Master.

If he can reach three hundred feet, that would be the peak of the Grandmaster. After recovery, as long as he quickly improves his skills, his realm will also improve rapidly until he breaks through to the celestial being.

Once his soul and body are combined, he doesn't know whether he can still leave his body to temper and grow stronger.

It is a rare state where the soul leaves the body and perceives the world, so he is not in a hurry to recover.

Moreover, Murong Longcheng's final crazy act caused his energy to flow back, absorbing many fragments of memories, which he also needed to sort out carefully.

And we must take advantage of this opportunity of separation between the soul and the body to quickly sort it out and discard it, and not let its consciousness pollute the soul.

As for their essence and energy, they have now evaporated as the body deteriorates, so the impact is not that great.

Chapter 443 Duan Siping Arrives

Jiang Weichen was speechless after hearing the conversation between Zhang Ziyang and Qingyun outside the tomb.

He had already known that Xiaoyaozi had stolen his Immortal-Slaying Sword, but he didn't expect that he had taken it back to worship it.

The soul left the body, the sea of ​​consciousness became silent, and the Soul of the Immortal-Slaying Sword also came into the heart palace.

Their minds were connected, and Jiang Weichen could feel that he was a little excited, but he didn't know why.

"Did you absorb something?" Jiang Weichen murmured, "If I had known that offering you as a sacrifice would be useful, I would have offered you to the Supreme Alliance long ago."

The sword spirit seemed to have heard the words of its master and began to spin excitedly.

"Xiaoyaozi, no matter what you want to do, the sword soul is the condensation of my spiritual power. You are making wedding clothes for me."

Not to mention Xiaoyaozi's previous actions against the Supreme Alliance, just based on this one thing, he and Xiaoyaozi cannot coexist.

It was impossible for him to give up the Immortal-Slaying Sword, and the first thing Xiaoyaozi did when he came out of the mountain was to take the sword. After building the Changchun Palace, he even enshrined it and it was impossible for him to return it.

When the Immortal-Slaying Sword is summoned back by him, how could Xiaoyaozi let it go? A fight is bound to happen between the two.

As long as Xiaoyaozi doesn't come now, he will be the one to die when he wakes up.

The further one cultivates, the longer it takes. It is impossible for Xiaoyaozi to make a major breakthrough before he wakes up.

Moreover, he was severely injured when searching his soul in front of his own grave. He heard him say that he needed to rest for a few years to recover.

……

Three days later, an uninvited guest came to Qingyun Mountain.

"Senior Duan, I wonder what brings you to Qingyun Mountain?" Qingyun asked nervously.

He suspected that Duan Siping might also be coveting something of Jiang Xiaoyou.

Duan Siping looked at the two alert people, his gaze turned towards the back mountain, and his spiritual consciousness had already spread there.

"Senior, if you just want to take a look, please don't do anything else to disturb the deceased's rest." Zhang Ziyang said after feeling Duan Siping's spiritual exploration.

Duan Siping remained silent and continued to investigate on his own. With his spiritual sense, he knew exactly what was happening inside Jiang Weichen's body.

The body was dry, and the internal organs, meridians and bones were still in the same condition as when he died more than a year ago.

This is a death that cannot be more dead, but the sense of decay emanating from the corpse is different from the natural aura emitted after a person dies.

Within the heart palace, Jiang Weichen's consciousness, through the connection with the soul, sensed the divine consciousness scanning.

"This consciousness isn't Qingyun, Zhang Ziyang, or Xiaoyaozi, so who is it?"

Jiang Weichen was shocked and confused. He was familiar with Qingyun and Zhang Ziyang's spiritual consciousness. Xiaoyaozi had searched Chunhua and Cuihua's souls in front of his tomb and had glanced at them during the process, so he also recognized them.

Although there are only a handful of great masters in the world, Jiang Weichen couldn't guess who they were.

After all, after he faked his death, even Zhao Kuangyin came out of seclusion, so what if there were other people?

"Damn it! They all always want to take advantage of me. Luckily, I have Qingyun and Zhang Ziyang. Otherwise, my grave would have been dug up and my body taken away."

Jiang Weichen's consciousness was silent within his heart palace, and he didn't dare to send out his spiritual sense to explore, for fear of being discovered by others.

But he ignored the sense of decay emanating from his body.

This was left over from his daily mental perception of the state of prosperity and withering. The state of prosperity quickly dissipated from the lifeless body, but the state of withering did not dissipate, but instead remained on it.

As his insights continued, the legacy became more and more, until it was emitted to the extent that it could affect the outside world.

In the front mountain, at Qingyun Temple, Duan Siping had a deep understanding of the concept of decay and prosperity. He was the author of the "Cursed and Flourishing Zen Sutra," so he naturally sensed it and asked, "Has this sense of decay always been like this, or did it only appear recently?"

Looking at the two people's alert expressions, Duan Siping explained: "Don't worry, I have no ill intentions. Resurrection from extinction is Jiang Weichen's understanding of the artistic conception of withering and flourishing.

Because of his words, my descendant Ku Rong has been silent for many years and has not yet awakened."

"Senior, are you saying that Mr. Jiang is not dead?" Zhang Ziyang and Qingyun asked in surprise.

"I'm not sure. Answer my question first."

“Senior, we don’t know when this sense of decline began, and we didn’t notice it before.

"However, last autumn, there was no unusual change after Jiang Xiaoyou's burial, but this autumn Qingyun Mountain is a bit depressed." Qingyun quickly replied.

"Not last year?" Duan Siping asked again.

"Probably not. We both didn't notice it during our meditations, or perhaps this sense of decline has only grown recently."

The two were unsure, and they only noticed it after carefully sensing the changes in the environment.

But over the past year, they have often entered into meditation, but they have not noticed it once. This should not be the case.

"The artistic conception of withering, he is not dead, or not completely dead yet."

The words of the two people made Duan Siping certain that Jiang Weichen was not dead, but the artistic conception of withering that Jiang Weichen comprehended was different from what he comprehended.

"Senior, are you telling the truth? Jiang boy is really not dead?" Qingyun said excitedly.

When he got excited, Jiang Xiaoyou became Jiang Xiaozi.

"The body is dead, but the consciousness is still there, the spirit is still there, otherwise there would be no understanding."

Duan Siping was also a little surprised. Consciousness and soul both depend on the physical body to exist, but Jiang Weichen's physical body is no longer active, so why didn't his consciousness and soul dissipate?

Moreover, how could Jiang Weichen wake up in this state and revive from the extinction? But this extinction was too complete.

Qingyun and Zhang Ziyang's originally excited expressions froze.

"It's over, Jiang kid is about to pass away. Zhang Ziyang, what should we do?" Qingyun asked.

He once told Jiang Weichen that the Taoist "ascension" and the Buddhist "nirvana" were actually the soul leaving the body, which was equivalent to death.

Zhang Ziyang shook his head. He didn't know either. There were records in Taoist scriptures that some predecessors had gained insights in seclusion, and their souls and consciousness traveled through the universe. After waking up, their understanding of the universe improved by leaps and bounds, and their martial arts progressed rapidly.

There are only a few examples of people being able to wake up, and in all of them, the time they spend away from the physical body is very short, and the physical body is unaffected.

Most of them are obsessed with the great way of heaven and earth, and either their consciousness is gradually lost, or their souls dissipate.

Some people call this state the Dao of Transformation, while others say that it is the state of ascension to heaven. But who knows the true situation except the person who has attained enlightenment? In any case, to the world, it is death.

Records of this state are already very rare, and there is no method left to tell how to awaken it.

Moreover, Jiang Xiaoyou's body is already dead. Although they don't know why his soul has not dispersed, the soul and the body cannot be united, so what else can they do?

The soul is too mysterious. Even grandmasters and powerful people in the celestial realm can only sense it slightly and cannot explore it.

The most intuitive one is the spiritual consciousness, a derivative means of strengthening the soul. The others are still unknown.

Zhang Ziyang had no choice but to hope that Jiang Weichen would come up with some tricks: "Senior, what does Jiang Xiaoyou mean by reviving from extinction?"

"Resurrection from extinction is Jiang Weichen's understanding of the 'art of withering and flourishing', just as yin gives rise to yang, and yang gives rise to yin."

"So, Young Master Jiang is using extreme decline to comprehend the realm of withering and flourishing?"

After Zhang Ziyang finished asking, he saw Duan Siping nod, and then he asked again: "Then, Senior, can Jiang Xiaoyou wake up?"

Duan Siping shook his head and said, "I'm also very curious. He was so completely annihilated. I also want to know how he woke up."

His descendant was quite talented, but he had been wasting time before. After hearing what Jiang Weichen said, he fell into silence. After a few years, his realm had reached the late stage of Grandmaster, and he had obviously understood a lot.

But he still failed to comprehend the artistic conception, and now he has fallen into a bottleneck. His vitality has not been completely cut off, and the key parts are still protected by vitality.

He had already instructed that if Ku Rong reached the Half-Step Grandmaster realm but had not yet comprehended the artistic conception, he would be awakened in advance.

Let him break through to the Grandmaster level before gaining further understanding. The artistic conception is about breaking through the barrier between heaven and man, not breaking through the barrier of the Grandmaster level.

But Jiang Weichen was different. There was no vitality in his body. His blood and physical essence had evaporated, and his body was completely lifeless.

If it were an ordinary person, it would have rotted long ago. He was surprised that it had not rotted yet. He didn't know how it could be restored.

"Even senior has no solution?" Qingyun said helplessly.

Duan Siping shook his head, then said, "I want to stay here for a while, is that okay?"

Chapter 444 Mutual Benefit

Although the tone was inquiring, the meaning that no refusal was allowed was obvious.

Qingyun and Zhang Ziyang were a little worried, and Duan Siping explained, "Don't worry, my staying here will only benefit him and not harm him.

In addition to comprehending the sword, I also comprehended the artistic conception of withering and flourishing. Releasing the artistic conception here will help him gain insights.

Likewise, his artistic conception may also help me gain insights.”

Although he listened to Jiang Weichen's guidance to Ku Rong, he also understood something and could absorb the vitality of all things to practice.

But what’s the use of being able to absorb the vitality of all things to practice? If you can’t solve the problem of energy leakage, it’s useless to practice.

However, his understanding has enhanced his state of mind again, allowing him to maintain the peak level of a grandmaster.

Now, after traveling for a year without any gain, I came to Qingyun Mountain and stayed for a while. The two sides’ moods blended together, and perhaps I could gain some insights.

Seeing that Duan Siping was sincere, Qingyun and Zhang Ziyang had no choice but to agree.

Duan Siping built a thatched hut next to Jiang Weichen's grave to shelter him from the wind and rain. Zhang Ziyang and Qingyun were a little worried, so they assigned one person to guard it.

The more certain they were that Jiang Weichen was not dead, the more nervous the two became. After all, they had promised Jiang Weichen to keep his body safe.

Chunhua, who came to the tomb every day to practice and guard the tomb, noticed something strange.

The front and back mountains are so close, and she has never lived next to the tombs before. How come, after a few years, one or two of them come to live next to the tombs?

She asked further, but unfortunately Qingyun and Zhang Ziyang only said that they were on guard against Duan Siping.
