Chapter 982 - Tao strives for self-confidence
For a person who is used to standing at the top, when he suddenly falls to the bottom, he will appear in two states, one is a complete collapse, and the other is starting to regroup and make a comeback. .
Undoubtedly, Zhenwu Sect is the latter.
Zhenwuzong was once the top power in the Ming Dynasty. Their disciples all regarded Zhenwuzong as their glory. Even if they were very low-key, their every move could stir up the world's situation.
But since the recovery of heaven and earth, Zhenwu Sect has become stronger, but its status in this world has been reduced. Compared with the countless forces that have returned, Zhenwu Sect can almost only compete with a second-rate force in the wilderness. .
Such a huge gap is the reality that the Zhenwu Sect, from the headmaster to the many elders and guardians, to the disciples must face.
In this situation, Zhenwu Sect must strive for strength. They must become stronger to restore the glory of Zhenwu Sect and let Zhenwu Sect stand at the pinnacle of heaven and earth again. No matter what the price, they must make No matter how hard they work, they must achieve this goal.
This is the Zhenwu Sect. Their strength and tenacity are incomparable to many forces.
That is why the Zhenwu Sect's Zhenwu plan was created, and they wanted to create an innate god belonging to the Zhenwu Sect as a blessing to the Zhenwu Sect.
Giving birth to an innate god requires a high price. For the entire Zhenwu Sect at that time, it was almost countless prices, and many disciples even had to sacrifice their own path.
For many forces, such a situation requires great unity and internal control capabilities, and Zhenwu Sect has achieved this, working together as one, and dedicating all their efforts to promote the plan.
The result of the Zhenwu Plan can be said to be a success or a failure. Although it did not breed powerful innate gods, the practice of using one's body to replace the gods allowed them to have a more suitable one for themselves. gods.
Absorbing the endless power of faith and incense over the years, Zhenxu Qingxu’s strength has reached a higher level, and he has entered the realm of the strongest in the ninth level of the spiritual realm. With the authority of the Zhenwu Dangmo Emperor, he It is the top existence in the entire realm of the strongest.
Although today's Zhenwu Sect has never reached its true peak, and is still far behind the immortal sects with real immortals as their commanders, it is still one of the top forces in the world.
In these years of the Conferred God War, the disciples of the Zhenwu Sect have participated in it and made countless achievements. True Lord Qingxu's several actions to suppress several of the most powerful demon kings shocked the monks in the world.
Lord Qingxu sat quietly in the Zhenwu Hall, and in the center of the hall directly opposite him, a formation lingered, and Bai Xiaosheng sat cross-legged in it, his eyes closed.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaosheng opened his eyes, a smile appeared on his face. Upon seeing this, Lord Qingxu said: "It seems that everything is going well!"
This world between heaven and earth There are countless secret methods about external incarnation, but except for the method of true immortal's incarnation, most of the secret methods of external incarnation, no matter how sophisticated they are, are not easy to hide from a top powerhouse like Lord Xue.
The reason why Bai Xiaosheng was able to use his own incarnation to conceal the truth is not only because of his own exquisite secret method, but also with the help of the power of Qingxu Zhenjun, using the Zhenwu Dangmo Great Emperor's divine status controlled by Qingxu Zhenjun. Only with the blessing of authority can he avoid the detection of King Xue.
The two people had a close friendship. The reason why Pei Xuanjing joined the former Taoist Alliance was because they were in charge of the inheritance of the Shenxiao Sect and invited Pei Xuanjing to participate.
Although the Taoist Alliance has almost disappeared in name over the years, the relationship between the two has never been severed.
Whether it was Bai Xiaosheng who provided resources for Zhenwuzong when he promoted the Zhenwu plan, or whether Bai Xiaosheng came out again and Zhenwuzong supported him behind the scenes, the alliance between the two parties has always been solid and has never been the same. through any gaps.
Facing the invitation of the Great Xue King this time, even though Bai Xiaosheng was more confident, he still had to be on guard against such a strong man. Apart from Pei Xuanjing, the true immortal, he It seems that the only powerful person who can be trusted and relied on the most is the Lord Qingxu who is in charge of the divine throne.
Qingxu Zhenjun, who is currently in charge of the throne of the Zhenwu Dangmo Great Emperor, is not inferior to Lord Xue in terms of his own realm or magical powers. Even though Lord Daxue has been practicing for countless years, he still has Zhenwu. As a result of the power of countless incense of faith accumulated by Emperor Dangmo, the two of them are not inferior at all in terms of background.
In this way, he was able to use the method of external incarnation to hide the king of Xue. Of course, there are loopholes in the use of such external incarnation method. Facing a top powerhouse, he can't do it. There was no slight omission, so his true body fell into a deep sleep, and his entire mind was focused on the incarnation. In order to protect his true body from accidents, he happened to ask True Lord Qingxu to protect the law in Zhenwu Sect.
"Yes, everything went well. The Great Lord Xue didn't use any tricks." Bai Xiaosheng nodded.
"Although such a hero doesn't care about other people's evaluations, he naturally has his own set of rules for doing things. Since he invites you so openly, generally speaking, there will be no tricks." Qingxu Zhenjun is not exempt from this.
He has dealt with the Great King Xue and some other ancient princes, and he knows all these heroic figures.
Different from casual cultivators, some casual cultivators may not care about their reputation and do things based on their preference without any scruples.
But for these tycoons who are in charge of big forces, even some giants of magic, they may seem overbearing and arrogant, but in fact they have their own set of rules in how to deal with things, and they will not break them easily.
After all, they are not really unscrupulous. For most strong people, they have people who can check and balance them. Therefore, if they are really an unscrupulous madman, in addition to attracting the fear of others, it will also make some strong people rise. The idea of extinction.
If there is a reason, it would be fine if there is a dispute of interest, but this time there is no conflict of interest between Bai Xiaosheng and Da Xue Guoguo. If the other party makes such an open and honest invitation, if they fall out, the negative impact will be huge. Lord Xue couldn't accept it.
It is said that if you do the first grade of junior high school, others can do the fifteenth grade.
If he doesn't follow the rules this time, then in the future, other strong men or forces can do the same when dealing with the Great Xue Gu Kingdom.
"Yes, it would be fine if he were a solitary cultivator, but the master of the Xue Kingdom has a huge business, so how could he care about someone like me so easily." Bai Xiaosheng said with a bit of self-deprecation.
His Bai Xiaosheng organization is indeed considered a powerful force, but it depends on who it is compared with, at least compared with the Great Xue Ancient Kingdom now. If it affects the Great Xue Ancient Kingdom because of him, it will be extremely uneconomical for the leader of the Great Xue Kingdom.
This transaction with Lord Xue was actually an attempt by Bai Xiaosheng. It was a tentative contact for him to start involving high-end business and cooperate with many big forces.
Even with some support from Pei Xuanjing and the help of many powerful people over the years, his Bai Xiaosheng organization has grown rapidly and competed with Tianji Pavilion for a lot of business. But in fact, the businesses he can be involved in are all mid- to low-end, or they are aimed at some small and medium-sized forces and strong casual cultivators. Those strong men and big forces who truly stand at the pinnacle of heaven and earth, they still choose Tianji more often. Pavilion.
Although they occasionally make transactions with Bai Xiaosheng, they are not too confidential. They trust Patriarch Tianji more for some very important secrets. After all, the other party has Patriarch Tianji. The golden signboard of a true immortal for thousands of years.
If Bai Xiaosheng wants to get involved in this high-end business, he needs to negotiate with big forces like Daxue Guguo and cooperate with them, so as to obtain more benefits.
"Your way is like this. This smooth success should be a good start." Qingxu Zhenjun said to Bai Xiaosheng.
If given a choice, what every monk wants to do is to practice meditation and pursue immortality.
But things in the world are impermanent. Even immortality is not something that can be easily obtained. You have to fight for everything by yourself.
What path each person takes is actually gradually determined in the process of practice. Only the path that suits one's own is the real path. If it is easier to follow a path, although it may avoid strong enemies, it will be easy. Stop here.
This is Bai Xiaosheng's way. For his own practice and his future, he must do this, unless he is willing to give up his own way and switch to a path that is not perfectly suitable for him.
However, such a choice is almost intolerable for a strong man with lofty ambitions.
Furthermore, practicing is like sailing against the current. If you don’t advance, you will retreat. This time, you retreated and gave way because of the conflict between the Tao and the Tao. So next time, if you encounter another dispute between the Tao and the Tao, do you have to retreat and avoid the same way?
No matter what difficulties and obstacles there are, walking alone, overcoming obstacles and riding the wind and waves is the most correct choice.
A monk who only knows how to retreat and avoid, no matter how high his cultivation level is, after losing the courage to move forward at that moment, he is not worthy of being called a strong man.
Bai Xiaosheng's way involves the deduction of heavenly secrets. Even if there is a true immortal heavenly ancestor on this path before, he cannot retreat and continue to move forward.
"How can it be simple? Even if my Tao and the Tao of the ancestor of Tianji do not completely overlap, the Tao of Tianji actually belongs to the Yi Tao and is derived from the mysterious law of fate. Who controls it? The more authority you have, the more promising the future will be. How can it be simple?" Bai Xiaosheng looked bitter and shook his head slightly.
No matter how confident he appears outside, his family knows his own affairs.
The Bai Xiaosheng inheritance that I practice is actually the legacy of the original Tianji Pavilion. It is just because I have taken a completely different path based on the Tianji Pavilion inheritance and is no longer limited by the way of the ancestor of Tianji Pavilion.
There are countless disciples of Tianji Pavilion, including Ancestor Tianji’s younger brother Shen Suanzi. Among the monks in Tianji Pavilion, those who practice the Tianji Dao Sutra of Ancestor Tianji can truly escape from the cage and walk out on their own path. Count on five fingers.
You must know that although Tianji Pavilion is only an intelligence force, it also has countless disciples. However, among these countless disciples, only five people can get rid of the influence of the Tianji Patriarch with great perseverance and wisdom, and create their own from the Tianji Taoist Scriptures. Dharma, walking out of their own way shows their talents.
No matter who Bai Xiaosheng is, what his purpose is, what ambition he has, just because he can do this, he is worthy of Patriarch Tianji’s eyes.
The path of cultivation is too lonely, and the secrets of heaven are illusory. Not many monks are willing to truly embark on this path. Therefore, even if he knows that Bai Xiaosheng has ambitions, the ancestor of Tianji will not lower himself to his status. Even if he didn't have Pei Xuanjing's protection, he wouldn't take action against Bai Xiaosheng.
He is looking forward to it, looking forward to Bai Xiaosheng going further. If one day Bai Xiaosheng can really step into the realm of true immortals with his own wisdom and ability, whether it is to suppress him and plunder the opponent's wisdom, or to Sitting and discussing Taoism is an excellent choice for Ancestor Tianji.
As a true immortal and a path-breaker, they are not afraid of people following the same path, and even wish that more people would follow their own path, because they are confident that no matter what, they will not be This is the self-confidence of a true immortal that has been surpassed by those who came later.
Of course, this is the laissez-faire attitude of Patriarch Tianji. Just because he didn't take action, it didn't mean that the others in Tianji Pavilion would let Bai Xiaosheng rise as he pleased.
For Patriarch Tianji, Bai Xiaosheng is a junior, a latecomer. He is not worried about the other party surpassing him, but expects the other party to be able to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
But the other people in Tianji Pavilion are of the same generation as Bai Xiaosheng and are competitors on the same path. Bai Xiaosheng's rise is shrinking their opportunities, so they will naturally take action.
As a Tianji Pavilion with profound knowledge and powerful people, even if the true immortal, the ancestor of Tianji, does not take action, their influence and strength are extremely powerful for Bai Xiaosheng at this moment. pressure.
"Without the True Immortal's action, even if there is a strong enemy, the opponent is just a stepping stone for us to reach the top!" A look of perseverance flashed in the eyes of True Lord Qingxu.
The power of a true immortal is unpredictable, but as an innate god in charge of the divine throne, after hundreds of years of tempering, he has completely mastered this divine body. With his current strength, he is not afraid of any opponent.
And the road to spiritual practice is not always smooth. On this road, you will inevitably encounter countless difficulties and obstacles, but all of these are your own training, making yourself stronger and going further. stepping stone.
"Not bad!" Bai Xiaosheng also recognized this. Strong men like them may be temporarily frustrated, but they will not be knocked down by difficulties and obstacles.
No matter how bumpy and bumpy the future may be, he has the confidence and will to overcome all hardships and move towards the top.
After talking about his own affairs, Bai Xiaosheng asked God Lord Qingxu: "The demon clan has made the demon summoning flag, and the final battle is about to begin. I don't know if the Zhenwu plan of our Zhenwu Sect is real. Done.”
When talking about this, even Bai Xiaosheng was a little curious about what kind of power this Zhenwu plan would have if it was really completed.
