Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

When asked, Duan Siping only said that staying next to the grave helped him to gain enlightenment, and he said nothing else.

Chunhua was helpless. She couldn't get any information out of him, and she couldn't chase him away either.

Jiang Weichen's soul left his body at night and he saw Duan Siping next to the grave.

"Damn it, Duan Siping, why did this guy settle down next to my grave?"

Inside the Heart Palace, Jiang Weichen recognized Duan Siping through the connection with his soul.

Duan Siping looked up at the sky above the tomb, but found nothing when he scanned with his spiritual sense.

"Strange, why do I feel like something is watching me?"

Duan Siping repeatedly used his spiritual sense to search, even checking Jiang Weichen's body, but still found nothing.

Finally, he closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, his artistic conception emanating from him.

Jiang Weichen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, only Duan Siping was here, and his consciousness could not leave his heart palace and enter his physical body to gain insights.

There is a Yandao Hall inside the Heart Palace, which can block its detection, but the situation is uncertain outside the Heart Palace.

Jiang Weichen didn't dare to take the risk, but fortunately Duan Siping released his artistic conception, and the soul closest to him felt it extremely clearly. After it was transmitted to his mind, he suddenly gained a lot of insights.

He had never felt the ways of others so clearly before, and the feeling in his soul was even deeper than the memory of watching Murong Longcheng.

This is a rare opportunity. My thoughts led my soul directly to Duan Siping, and my feelings became clearer.

Inside his heart palace, Jiang Weichen continued to absorb Duan Siping's insights, and then verified them with his own insights, gaining more and more insights in his heart.

Time passed by like this. Since Duan Siping came and released his artistic conception every day, Qingyun Mountain became even more desolate.

Zhang Ziyang would occasionally release his artistic conception and communicate with Duan Siping. Jiang Weichen also understood the artistic conception of Ziyang that Zhang Ziyang had realized through soul induction.

Qingyun became a supporting role, but by often listening to the two people discussing Taoism and being in their artistic conception, he also gained a lot of insights.

Especially Duan Siping's artistic conception of withering and flourishing seems to have a greater effect on him.

Through conversations among several people, Jiang Weichen also knew that Duan Siping already knew that he was not dead.

Although he had no ill will towards him, Jiang Weichen did not speak out loud, as he knew that too much talk would lead to mistakes. Even his consciousness was still in his mind. However, every time Duan Siping released his artistic conception, Jiang Weichen pretended to be attracted by him and slowly released his own artistic conception.

While allowing Duan Siping to learn from his experience, he was also unclear about his own condition.

Time passed quickly. Half a year later, Xiaoyaozi's disciples finally followed Xiaoyaozi's request, either by bribery or coercion, and finally unified the Taoist sects except Huashan.

Afterwards, the leaders and temple masters of various sects gathered in Changchun Valley again. Just like before, they issued tasks and paid homage to the sect's sacred artifact, the Immortal-Slaying Sword!

I thought it was over, but Xiaoyaozi actually took everyone to Bianliang.

Afterwards, the confused crowd accompanied the entire ceremony to worship the sky. During the ceremony, Zhao Kuangyin announced that Taoism headed by Changchun Palace would be the state religion, and named Xiaoyaozi as the state teacher of the Song Dynasty, and gave him the title: Jiu Tian Ming Dao Xiaoyao Zhenren!

Qingyun and Zhang Ziyang participated in the whole process. At the beginning, they were confused and didn't know what Xiaoyaozi and Zhao Kuangyin were going to do.

But when the imperial edict was announced on the spot, the two men looked solemn. They both felt that they had a deep bond with the Song Dynasty.

Qingyun Mountain, after Zhang Ziyang and Qingyun came back, they hurriedly asked Duan Siping.

After receiving confirmation from Duan Siping, Zhang Ziyang's face turned pale and he cursed, "Xiaoyaozi, what is he trying to do? For such a big matter, he arbitrarily tied the sect to the chariot of the Song Dynasty without consulting his fellow Taoists."

If it were just an individual, it would be fine. Born in the Song Dynasty, it is only natural to contribute to the Song Dynasty.

This was the reason why he and Qingyun went out to deal with Murong Longcheng before. After both of them were defeated, he just sat back and watched.

But it is simply unreasonable that Xiaoyaozi arbitrarily tied the fortune of a sect to a short-lived dynasty.

Taoism has a long history, but the dynasties have changed several times in the meantime. How can we be so short-sighted?

Qingyun asked, "Is it too late for us to leave Changchun Palace now?"

"What do you think? Why is Zhao Kuangyin's imperial edict so long? He has listed the names of all the sects and schools in it. It doesn't matter whether they retreat from Changchun Palace or not.

Unless we can take advantage of the fact that our fortunes are not too affected now and ask Zhao Kuangyin to issue an order to lift the order, but you are not joking, and Xiaoyaozi will not allow it.

When fate becomes entangled in the future, it will be impossible to resolve it by relying on an imperial decree.

"After the fall of the Song Dynasty, all branches of Taoism, except for those on Mount Hua, will fall into decline for a period of time, and the inheritance of many Taoist temples may be cut off." Zhang Ziyang said helplessly.

"Since Mr. Xiyi is still alive, why doesn't he stop Xiaoyaozi? What's the reason?"

Qingyun said, "Binding should also have its benefits, right?"

Duan Siping explained, "If they are bound together, when the Song Dynasty becomes stronger, the sect will also be able to benefit from this good fortune. The sect's people will cultivate a little faster, and the chances of receiving talented disciples will be higher."

"That's not bad. Maybe I can make a breakthrough." Qingyun said with a smile.

Zhang Ziyang was speechless. "You only think about your own breakthrough, not about future generations, and you're not worried about your Qingyun Temple's inheritance being cut off in the future."

"Why bother with so much? Now that we're all bound, what else can we do?"

Qingyun finished speaking and turned to leave. "I have to go and urge Qingyi to practice. I can only take care of one or two generations. After that, others will take care of it."

"The way of luck? Is this the method used by Zhao Kuangyin and Xiaoyaozi?" Duan Siping murmured.

He originally didn't know the two people's methods, but after this incident he had a guess.

Murong Longcheng used the will of all living beings to lock his realm. Zhao Kuangyin and Xiaoyaozi now also want to gather their luck, and they are all borrowing the power of all living beings in this world.

He was the founding emperor of Dali, so can we follow his example?

Chapter 445 Shameless Qingyun

Duan Siping looked at Jiang Weichen's grave, and the sense of decline emanating from it became stronger and stronger.

Even in this hot summer, one can feel that the grass and trees within a hundred meters around the tomb are affected and look withered.

And every time he released his artistic conception, he could draw out the artistic conception of withering and flourishing that Jiang Weichen had comprehended. The two confirmed each other, and he had comprehended a lot.

Moreover, he vaguely felt that Jiang Weichen's comprehension of the realm of withering and flourishing had surpassed that of him, the creator of the "Withering and Flourishing Zen Sutra".

"I only have six years left to live. What should I do? Should I follow the example or take my artistic conception to the next level?" Duan Siping was a little anxious.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang, can you help me solve this puzzle?" Duan Siping asked the grave.

Duan Siping scanned the grave with his spiritual sense once again. He didn't know what condition Jiang Weichen was in. He scanned the grave with his spiritual sense every day, but he still found nothing today.

After receiving no response for a long time, Duan Siping hurried down the mountain. After Jiang Weichen's advice and his comprehension in the past six months, he had already comprehended the second level of his state of mind of withering and flourishing, to the extent that he could borrow the power of heaven and earth.

What is the power of heaven and earth? Aura is it, wind is it, thunder and lightning are it too. All natural things between heaven and earth contain the power of heaven and earth.

After he comprehended the second level, he mainly borrowed the vitality and spiritual energy of all things, which was most in line with his artistic conception of withering and flourishing.

The powerful state of mind allowed his soul to grow, his consciousness and intentions to be strengthened, and he could lock up more energy, but he was not sure that he could break through to the celestial being within six years.

The noise outside the tomb was very loud, so Jiang Weichen naturally heard it.

Xiaoyaozi and Zhao Kuangyin, did these two people choose the path of luck?

Borrow the luck of a country or a religion to cultivate or lock up your own energy?

Luck is elusive, how do they collect and utilize it?

Jiang Weichen was puzzled, but not surprised. After reading Murong Longcheng's memories, he already understood how Murong Longcheng used his willpower.

Willpower and luck are equally illusory and difficult to perceive.

If some people can utilize the power of wishes, then it is not surprising that some people can utilize luck.

Looking at the changes in the sword spirit, Jiang Weichen was thoughtful. The blood color of the sword spirit had faded in the past six months, and the original blood red had turned into light red.

Thinking of Xiaoyaozi's behavior, worshipping it and promoting it as a sacred object to gain recognition, Jiang Weichen guessed that when it was recognized and respected as a sacred object to gain recognition, the Immortal-Slaying Sword had good luck.

But is it used to gather luck or to suppress luck?

The gathering of luck is understandable.

Luck and willpower come from all living beings. If we want to gather them, all we need is the recognition of people’s hearts.

Because everyone recognizes it, it can gather luck, just as when everyone kneels down to worship the Buddha's golden body and prays, the Buddha's golden body can retain its power of wishes.

As for suppressing luck, can this knife suppress luck?

Jiang Weichen expressed doubt.

Although this sword was forged with a sword spirit through visualization and had a faint intelligence, it could only be considered a spiritual weapon at best.

Even the innate spiritual treasure cannot suppress the luck, let alone the Immortal-Slaying Sword which is far inferior to the acquired spiritual treasure.

However, the sword spirit has indeed changed, probably due to being nurtured by luck.

Before, it absorbed the dead air and the mental strength of the dead to grow stronger, and absorbed blood to temper the blade, and the sword soul turned blood red. Now it is revered as a sacred object of the religion, nurtured by the luck, and the red color slowly fades. What changes will happen next?

Jiang Weichen was puzzled, but simply stopped caring. The world limit determined that everything he would do in the future would be a matter of feeling his way forward, taking one step at a time.

He also heard Duan Siping's question outside, but he did not respond.

He releases artistic conception to help himself understand, and he also releases artistic conception to help him understand.

As for how much he can understand, that is his business, and I can consider it as giving back to him.

The two of them had no friendship, otherwise if he were to pass on the way of the mind to him, as long as his state of mind reached the source of birth and the state of fetal breathing, he would be able to break through to the heavenly being.

A month later, Duan Siping returned in a daze.

To utilize good luck, you need something to gather it, otherwise the good luck will be dispersed and cannot be utilized.

What Zhao Kuangyin owned was the imperial seal that had been passed down and nurtured for more than a thousand years.

Xiaoyaozi snatched Jiang Weichen's knife. He is intelligent and is now trying to nurture it with his luck.

But he had nothing to gather his luck, and secondly, he had no time to nurture it.

There seems to be only one way left for him, which is to improve his artistic conception, slightly lock the energy with a powerful artistic conception, and strive to break through the heaven and prolong his life.

Duan Siping continued to release his artistic conception as usual, and Jiang Weichen had completely absorbed Duan Siping's insights.

His artistic conception was no longer useful to him, but Jiang Weichen still released it as usual to help him gain insights.

His state of mind of withering has already caught up with his state of mind of flourishing, and both have reached the second level.

Duan Siping is also at this level, but is obviously slightly weaker than Jiang Weichen.

……

The next day, Chunhua came to the grave as usual and looked at the weeds growing wildly on the grave.

Chunhua had no choice but to pick up a sickle and start mowing the grass. As he mowed, he said, "Senior, could you please stop using your artistic conception? My eldest brother's grave is being weeded only once every two days, rather than once every three days."
