Chapter 728: The Long-Bearded Man, the Short-Bearded Ghost
The monks on the Hedao Spiritual Road looked like they were waking up from a dream, their eyes widening in astonishment.
The sky is already filled with nothingness, the spiritual path under your feet has completely dimmed, and the restrictions have disappeared.
After a while, everyone came back to their senses.
On the spiritual road just now, they seemed to have experienced reincarnation life after life. They knew very well that this was the restriction and fantasy world derived from the spiritual road, and they desperately wanted to escape and reunite their souls.
But just in an instant, those restrictions on the Hedao disappeared, and the immortal energy on the spiritual road gradually receded like a hazy morning mist.
The Hedao Gate at the end also disappeared quietly without a trace.
“This is...someone has already reached the end of the spiritual road.”
“Can this fate only allow one person to achieve enlightenment?”
“Nonsense, that’s all. Even the twelfth-grade Hedao Lotus Seat of Ziwei Yuanjun can only send twelve people to the Taixu Illusionary Realm.”
"Who is it!"
The monks looked around, with embarrassed and unwilling expressions on their faces.
It has only been a while, but before they can show off their skills, the creation of this spiritual path has been preempted by others.
Although they were unwilling to do so, they had no choice but to fly out immediately and head to other Hedao spiritual paths.
Under the sky, the Hedao lotus seat of Ziwei Yuanjun is slowly glowing, the twelve silver lotus petals are swaying, and the spiritual consciousness spreads out like ocean waves.
The lotus petals located due south of the sky rippled slightly, and then closed completely.
With the huge power of spiritual consciousness in a lotus petal, it can only develop a spiritual path to the illusion of Taixu. This is the way to the sky. The opportunities of creation throughout the ages are Very rare.
......
At the same time, within the realm of Taixu.
In a trance, Ye Zang seemed to have flown across the universe, a distance as long as eternity. This was the feeling of traveling through space, so ethereal that it made people tremble.
When Ye Zang opened his eyes, he came to a familiar yet unfamiliar scene.
The sky is dim, covered by endless thick fog, and the surroundings are very quiet, without a trace of sound.
At the foot of Ye Zang is a huge ancient Tengnuo formation. Looking at it, it is tens of thousands of feet wide, and it is ancient and extraordinary.
The bluestone road of the ancient formation is engraved with the traces of time. It is unknown how long ago it was laid down. The forbidden formation patterns on it extend out like flowing water, blooming with faint starlight.
Everything seems so real and within reach.
"Finally back here again..." Ye Zang took a deep breath, his eyes were deep and filled with sadness.
This is the initial realm of Taixu Illusion, the outer world that only the soul can reach.
The Taixu Illusion Realm was originally a fantasy dream of a true immortal, a place of pure illusion.
It can be said that it did not exist in the world back then. However, in the endless years, many true immortals from the immortal realm arrived in this magical place. They began to construct this place with powerful spiritual consciousness and evolve it. And out, it becomes the intersection of the realm of nothingness and reality.
Subsequently, with the efforts of successive generations of Hedao monks, over countless years, Taixu Illusion finally became what it is now. It is very consistent with the great road of heaven and earth, and can evolve on its own.
Here, there is no limit, no end, just like the thoughts of living beings, there are no boundaries.
Ye Zang's eyes darkened slightly and he looked around, with an unspeakable meaning in his heart.
The road to spiritual practice is long and difficult. In this life, he will never waste time in the realm of Hedao. He will step out on his own path and achieve the status of a real person!
In the Juntian position of Tengnuo Ancient Formation, there stands a stone tablet with beautiful words engraved on it.
This stone tablet is quite new, it must have been built within the past thousand years.
In fact, the Hedao Zhenjun and Yuanjun from Shizhou also kept repairing here.
The Taixu Illusion Realm is the place of practice for Hedao monks, the place of cave. Here, they rarely have discussions.
Even the Hedao monks from Dongsheng Shenzhou and Tianmingzhou will not fight here casually, because Taixu Illusion itself is a dangerous place, and any variables may occur. If it leads to The realm is completely in turmoil, and even their souls will be affected.
[Taixu Illusion, Initial Realm Tengnuo Ancient Formation]
I haven’t seen the familiar handwriting on it for a long time.
In his previous life, Ye Zang observed the aura of a Hedao secret store in southern Xinjiang, and then spent a hundred years in retreat before entering the Taixu illusion. But this time, it was very smooth. With the help of the Hedao spiritual path, he entered Taixu. Within the courtyard.
In fact, the emergence of Ziwei Yuanjun's secret treasure is also a variable, which may create many Hedao monks.
Although there are only twelve spiritual paths, there are not only twelve monks who can advance to Hedao.
The talented disciples of the major sects who were in the secret store before may not be able to enter the illusion of Taixu on the spiritual road, but this trip is not a useless effort. After this experience, if you want to travel to Taixu in the future, It was a lot easier to find the gate. It seems that this illusory realm will be much more lively, and many young faces will appear in the future.
The entire Taixu Illusionary Realm, as a whole, can be divided into four heavens and earth. Of course, there are many uninhabited forbidden areas that have not been touched. Those places are in a state of chaos, extremely difficult to cultivate, and there are endless opportunities. exist.
The place where Ye Zang is located is the initial place of the first realm.
The souls of monks who have entered the Hedao gate but have not yet reached the level of "Hedao first level, the unity of heaven and man" will stay in this world.
The oppression of the consciousness of other realms is too strong. If you break in rashly, the soul may be lost in the illusory realm forever and be unable to return to the physical body.
The remaining three realms naturally correspond to the cultivation of the third level of Hedao.
The unity of heaven and man, the latitude of heaven and earth, and the soul of Taixu.
"For the time being, we have found a 'Celestial God's Cave'. Now we must retreat quickly and completely enter the realm of unity between heaven and man..."
Ye Zang was thinking about a plan in his heart, and when he arrived at the place where heaven and man are one, After reaching the realm, you can truly become a Hedao monk. Being able to find the Taixu Illusionary Realm is already half the battle. The next step is to practice step by step, and everything will come naturally.
As long as you don’t run around in the initial area and break into uninhabited restricted areas, there will be no accidents.
The initial land is very large. The so-called God's Cave is a retreat place built by ancient monks. The ownerless spiritual energy there is huge and can be used to cultivate the three souls of heaven and earth.
At this moment, a huge burst of light emerged from the Tengnuo Ancient Formation.
Immediately after he trembled, two familiar figures of Yuan Shen flew in from the sky.
They were two old men, one with a long beard and short hair, the other with a short beard and long hair. They looked very kind and kind, and they looked like upright people.
Ye Zang squinted his eyes, seeming thoughtful.
He naturally recognizes these two people. It can be said that they are very familiar to each other.
The two old men walked slowly on the ancient formation. Although they were walking towards Ye Zang, they did not look at him. Instead, they kept talking to themselves, as if he was like air. .
"Hmm... I feel like I haven't done anything today." "This ancient formation should be repaired. What if the devil runs in?"
"Don't worry, there are Taoist friends from outside who will handle this matter. It has nothing to do with us."
"When Hedao was born, many young Taoists had to come in."
" Those great disciples must have a lot of treasures.”
The two old men were walking side by side, mumbling something in their mouths.
These two people, Ye Zang, have not seen each other for a long time. One of them likes to call himself the 'long-bearded man', and the other is called the 'short-bearded ghost' by others. In the realm of Taiyuan, these two people can be said to be It is an existence that no one knows about.
The origins of the two old men are unknown, and they have been in the illusory realm for endless years.
In Taixuanhuan, there are not only the souls of monks from Shizhou.
Throughout the ages, talented monks of all ages have gone through such a journey.
However, for some Taoists, their souls were lost in this state and could not return to their physical bodies. As the long years passed, their memories even became blurred. In the end, they even forgot who they were and why they existed, and they were just aimless. Wandering around, acting according to his true nature, like a wandering ghost.
Perhaps, these two people were once the geniuses of a certain orthodoxy in ancient times.
"Hey, who are you?"
"Little brother, have we met somewhere?"
The two finally walked to Ye Zang,< br>
The long-bearded man and the short-bearded ghost scratched their heads, looked at Ye Zang with blank expressions, and suddenly spoke to him.
"I have indeed seen you. You and I were sworn friends in my previous life." Ye Zang said casually.
“What!” The long-bearded man looked shocked and stared with wide eyes.
"Little brother, don't scare me, you are a human or a ghost!" The short-bearded ghost was startled and took a few steps back.
Ye Zang was too lazy to chat with them here, and said bluntly: "Two seniors, please guide me to the location of a god's cave. It must be at least a first-class heavenly cave. If you find it, junior Thank you very much.”
Ye Zang knew the temperaments and habits of these two people very well.
The two of them have been wandering around Taixuan territory all year round and are very familiar with this place.
Ye Zang’s previous life was not as smooth as it is now. When he advanced to Hedao, the world was already in chaos, and even affected the Taixu Illusion Realm. The initial land was in turmoil, and Ye Zang had to find a Ordinary cave retreat practice, until entering the realm of unity between heaven and man, then go to the second realm.
He is not too familiar with the initial land.
“Heavenly Soul Stone, Earthly Soul Stone, Life Soul Stone!”
"There are also Chaos Stones. I want one piece each."
"Senior, are some lions talking loudly?" Ye Zang spread his hands and said with a smile. These things are all treasures of heaven and earth that can only be born in the secret treasures of Hedao and the land of spiritual consciousness. They are of great benefit to the practice of Hedao monks.
Ye Zang has a lot of achievements in the Jackdaw Cult, but he can go to the Treasure Pavilion to exchange for a few.
"No way, it's all at this price. I think this little brother is a disciple of a great sect, so he shouldn't be short of these spiritual objects." The long-bearded man rubbed his hands and said with a smile.
“Believe me and I, we will definitely find you an excellent God’s Cave!” the short-bearded ghost said loudly.
Ye Zang was silent for a few breaths, then smiled and said: "Then I'll bother you two seniors."
"Let's go, come with me!"
With that, the three of them turned into a blur. The soul escaped from the light and left the place at a very fast speed.
Not long after they left, three more escaping lights fell from the sky.
Those three people are all elders of the great religion. They looked down at the ancient formation with slightly furrowed brows.
"The feeling is correct. Fairy Ziwei's Hedao lotus seat has also closed one leaf. Which disciple entered the entrance hall first?" Did they take those two away?" The Hedao elder seemed thoughtful.
"Go and search everywhere to find out the identity of that disciple."
...
The initial land is vast and boundless.
On the ground, mountains, rivers and swamps rise one after another, as beautiful as a splash-ink landscape painting, as if you are in an ancient fairyland.
Between the mountains, there seemed to be auspicious beasts. Ye Zang even saw real dragons, fire phoenixes, and white tigers and unicorns. However, since it is an illusion, everything here is a mixture of reality and fiction. These auspicious beasts The mythical beasts may seem very real, but in fact they are all illusions derived from monks.
The Taixu Illusion Realm is no different from the Shizhou Land, except that the sky is always covered by mist and there is no bright sun shining down, except that the scenery is more gorgeous.
Over the endless years, this place has long been no longer in the chaotic and hazy state it once was. It has been repaired to perfection by many monks, except of course, except for the uncultivated no-man's land.
“Little friend, I haven’t asked for my name yet!” the long-bearded man said, cupping his fists.
"Ye Zang." Ye Zang said casually.
"Ye Zang, you are Ye Zang!" the short-bearded ghost widened his eyes and said in shock.
"Why, does senior recognize me?" Ye Zang raised his eyebrows. His reputation is indeed not small, but it has not spread to the Taixu Illusion Realm. Hedao Zhenjun Yuanjun from the outside world knows that he is not surprised, how come these lost masterless souls in the Taixu Illusion Realm also recognize him.
“I feel like I’ve heard it somewhere, it’s just like what my little friend said, maybe we were good friends in the previous life!” The short-bearded ghost squinted his eyes and looked at Ye Zang with a rather playful look.
"Short-bearded ghost, you are so confused, don't be surprised all the time. Isn't this Ye Zang the leader disciple of the Jackdaw Cult?" said the long-bearded man.
"Yes, I remembered, you are Ruan Xifeng's disciple!" The short-bearded ghost slapped his head and said impressively.
"I am indeed learning from Master Jiuqiao." Ye Zangning said.
“Tsk, tsk, tsk, you are indeed a young hero.” The long-bearded man looked Ye Zang up and down.
"Oh, Ruan Zhenjun... Oh no, it should be called Ruan Zhenjun. It turns out to be Ruan Zhenjun's disciple Ye Kuaishou. It's a blessing to meet him. It's a blessing to have him in three lifetimes!" The short-bearded ghost said smiled.
While walking, the two of them complimented Ye Zang so much that they almost blew him to the sky.
The characters of these two people are so inconsistent that they have even forgotten who they are, but they still retain some of their temperaments when they were alive.
For example, I like spiritual objects such as heavenly materials and earthly treasures very much. It can be said that they are two brave beings with many treasures on them. Many Hedao monks have even had the idea of the two of them and tried to come to them. They kill people and seize treasures, but in the end they all end badly.
The two old men seem peaceful, but the soul is very powerful and can come and go freely within the fourth realm of Taixu Illusion. It has reached the realm of Taixu Soul. It is very terrifying and should not be offended easily. .
