#556 - Choose the path, middle stage of refining emptiness
Maybe everyone has it, maybe he is the only one who has it, maybe this is the extra thing that the Buddha pays attention to. In short, Dunn cannot understand what this brilliance hidden in the ordinary is, but after exploring here, the previous puzzles have been explained.
But he didn't say it.
As for why?
Because of distrust of the "Yuhua Sutra".
Not being able to understand is the least of the problems. There may be changes after the matter has changed hands... In short, we must not be careless. It is better to keep the inside story in secret, after all, it may involve a lot of people.
"Anyway, right now, your magical power..."
Meng Changqing didn't know what he was thinking, so he spoke hesitantly.
"Well, there's no need to bother collecting spirit beasts. We need at least a few thousand level six or real human corpses anyway. I'm afraid we won't find any even if we search the entire Immortal Gate."
"Indeed, our sect does not have any. After all, the level of a true person is not something that can be easily found on the street. Moreover, the Demon Emperor may have taken precautions and made some moves early on. The tamed demon beasts and the herded spirit beasts could not break through to the level of a true demon."
Meng Changqing said helplessly, "If we let the old immortal take action, we can remove all kinds of restrictions. For example, Fudong's side has been removed because of Fudong Supreme's request. So when the real fight starts, they can produce a lot of real beasts. Half of the sixth-level related materials in our sect's treasury come from there."
Real beasts seem very powerful, but when it comes to the war stage where real beasts are used, True Lord Huiqing, who is in charge of the eastern front, will not be stingy in taking action. By then, with just one aftermath, he can easily kill dozens or even hundreds of them.
The truly decisive factor still lies in the True Lords in the fusion stage, and in this regard, none of the five True Lords of Luoyu Immortal Sect are easy to deal with. Except for Meng Changqing, all of them are suppressing their cultivation and increasing their foundation, and their explosive power is far superior to that of ordinary people of the same level.
"The reason why the Azure Sky Leaf was missed is partly due to this. There were too many things that were confiscated and stored in the warehouse. It is impossible to check everything. We have to conduct a thorough investigation next. God knows how many people have fallen victim to the same trick."
At this point, the topic had become "commonplace", so he simply put away the fallen feather.
"Fudong? I heard that Lian Zhenjun is changed quite frequently there?"
"Yes, the True Lords from the Fudong Immortal Sect have changed the most. In the past ten thousand years, there must have been ten of them in total, but the normal total number is only four. Now there are the Four Evil True Lords. You have seen Taotie and you have also fought the original beast of Hun Dun. The other two are also notorious. Hui Qing is injured now. The east is closer to the south..."
Meng Changqing said these things and left in a hurry after finishing.
Du En did not stay either. After a little thought, he stepped into the starry universe and continued his original plan.
…
The universe is deep and dark, and deathly silence is constant.
In that desolate universe without any light and filled with darkness on the surface of the moon, the sun suddenly descended here with the appearance of light, spreading its light, dispelling the eternal darkness of the moon, and making the fragments of stars that were swallowed by the dead silence and eternal darkness in the universe visible again.
When Du En arrived here and looked up from afar, he saw only darkness. The surface of the moon that was being illuminated by the rejection seemed to be being stimulated, trying to make its inner self emerge, create a backflow, and drown his abrupt sun.
Everything is dead silent, everything is dark...
His figure disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already tens of millions of miles away. He repeated the same trick, constantly jumping and moving in the universe, scattering light along the way, like a string of stars competing for brilliance. But after all, he was a tree without roots, and he only accidentally left new mysteries and various speculations to the several star realms that observed this constellation.
"here……"
When passing by a place that was not so desolate and silent, and finally a star field where the sunlight was shining from afar, Dunn noticed from afar that there was something strange on a dead star that had not collapsed.
As he got a little closer, he used his spiritual sense to cover the area and saw a shallow winding trace, as well as the remnants of a familiar source of life.
The origin of the life star realm and the characteristics of the strongest holy body.
It was clear that she had passed by here before and stayed here for a while.
After removing all the interference brought by True Lord Buyi, this world named after the source of life, the three sources which are originally more powerful and special than ordinary star realms, will naturally be more active and obvious. Coupled with the efforts of Duen and others in the past, this relatively good result is achieved today, and can be maintained for a long time.
However, it seems that this will cause problems now. After all, Du En has to go back again, and he is currently the head of the South Land of Luoyu Immortal Sect. He has practiced the first of the Nine Immortal Scriptures of the Lower Cave. The cause and effect destiny that could have been interfered with and blocked is once again clearly pulled and difficult to conceal. If he steps into it, all his efforts will be in vain.
So what to do?
The answer is no.
He wanted to come back to the origin star realm, but he didn't really need to go back.
The reason I came here is just to find the Holy Spirit.
so.
Knock knock knock!
Dunn, who was staying on this desolate death planet, knocked on the door directly from a distance.
Wake up the Holy Spirit who is still in the egg but is actually able to wake up.
From a distance, from his perspective, he could see a little light emerging.
Then it suddenly disappeared again, and when it reappeared, it was on one of Dunn's shoulders.
The Holy Spirit's hanging lamp illuminated him for the first time in a long time.
"Duane, long time no see."
Her voice was as gentle and peaceful as ever, but also a little lazy and unfocused, as if she was in a deep sleep and in no hurry to break out of her shell, because the source star realm was currently in the process of being rebuilt and she didn't want to exert any influence.
"Um."
Du En nodded slightly, without any small talk, and went straight to the point: "I came back here mainly to ask you something and to ask you for a favor."
"What do you want to ask? What can I help you with?"
The Holy Spirit was not stingy with the last apostle she had chosen, but as the laxity gradually faded, she couldn't help but sigh: "You have reached a realm that I have never reached before so quickly. Although there are still some mistakes now, I am afraid I am not your opponent, and my exploration and understanding of the world are not as much as yours."
There are no extra emotions, just a sense of satisfaction in watching my children grow up.
Of course, there are doubts and curiosity.
What did Dune want to ask, what did he want to do.
"What I want to ask is, what do you think of Phoenix God?"
The Holy Spirit hanging lamp jumped.
"Oh, right. Why is the Phoenix Remaining in you so quiet now? If you ask me what I think, you must be asking what He thinks. After all, I have received a gift from Him, and I have had some contact with Him while I was asleep."
She was a little confused about its definition, or didn't know how to describe it. In short, it was not a simple bloodline inheritance, and she did not stick to this and directly stated her own experiences.
"He actually regretted leaving his hatred in the world, but he also understood with mixed emotions that it was a necessary and unavoidable act. It seemed that the remaining hatred concealed some key guidance, so he could quickly and simply gain the recognition of the world and become a truth. So he felt that he was just a 'moral bitch' after all."
The Holy Spirit had no intention of commenting on the deceased deity, and expounded on what she had seen and heard in a calm and objective manner. Of course, this lofty attitude of a deity could only indirectly prove that she felt that what He said was right, and she even had a vague feeling of being disappointed in Him.
Duane nodded slightly, looking thoughtful.
After a moment, he stopped thinking and seemed to have figured something out.
Seeing that he didn't want to say anything, the Holy Spirit didn't ask any more questions. After a pause, he continued, "So, what do you want me to help you with?"
"Bring up the Demon King's Immortal Dao, or send me in."
"You want to use it as a stepping stone."
The Holy Spirit suddenly realized, and then the Holy Spirit hanging lamp quietly deformed, the light twisted and changed, and finally turned into a crowbar.
She used the connection between them to indirectly project her power, and she had no intention of taking it back, so as not to expose the location of the source star realm, so she simply did it and let Duen do it himself.
He did not hesitate to grab the crowbar and inserted it into the boundless sea of truth, prying the Demon King's Immortal Dao that was dormant at the bottom of the sea, causing it to quickly float up.
Originally, he was the Golden Crow as a human being, and was deeply involved in this avenue. Moreover, the Demon King Avenue was artificially degraded into the Demon King's Immortal Avenue. Compared with the original version, it lacks the tyranny of looking down on the world and claiming to be the emperor.
So it was very easy to pry it out.
During this process, Duan was also preparing and planning, with all kinds of things churning in his mind.
Although powerful geniuses can reach the Void Refinement Stage, they have limitations. Even if they have realized the necessity of giving equal importance to the spirit and the body, they cannot over-emphasize the spirit, and should not be overly obsessed with the void.
However, people generally only stay at a very superficial level and think that the spirit and the body are equally important, and then they combine them into one to create the Tao body.
In the final analysis, the Void Refining Stage is actually a process and stage of reaching deeper and beginning to "feel the elephant like a blind man". If you touch too deep, you will be pulled down and sink into the boundless sea of truth. Therefore, you need to use your real body as a stone on the shore and a connecting rope.
They often think that as long as the stone is big enough and the rope is long enough, they will be able to retrieve more and more things, until they finally reach a critical point, and then they can break through.
Therefore, they were ultimately unable to break through and could only remain at the level of perfect refining of the void.
Because if you want to break through the fusion period, what you really need to pursue is the connection between the virtual and the real, the virtual and the real, the real and the virtual, the inside and the outside respond to each other, and the inside and the outside are united.
It seems that the actions of powerful geniuses reflect this key point and are their practical behavioral cultivation methods. Even the various top-grade skills do not hesitate to explain the key points in this regard and point out the necessity of refining the void.
But they will still stagnate and freeze until the end of their lifespan and their demise.
The reason is actually very simple. There is only one key point as to how to achieve unity between the inside and outside, that is, to see clearly the subtle "gap" between them, which is actually an extremely abrupt "gap" that lies between the inside and outside, the virtual and the real.
It seems that the inside and outside are both complementary and parallel to each other, or they are various conceptual cognitions of other schools, with multiple and diverse objective explanations.
They are all correct.
However, there is indeed a "crack", either inserting a foot between the surface and the inside, or connecting the two in the virtual and the real, or splitting on the boundary of the surface, or...
That’s right, the geniuses are always able to see this kind of gap, or opportunity, and then start to break in through it, or rush in, or try to repair it...all these actions are attempts to create a path of their own!
It is very metaphysical and mysterious, so the geniuses are uncontrollable, because there is no way of knowing what kind of behavior will push them to take that crucial step. The only appropriate option is to use the superior power to directly kill and wipe them out.
As for Du En, he has reached the Void Refinement Stage, a critical level that is difficult to kill for a genius.
Furthermore, he already knew what kind of behavior would make him a strong man. That's right, he had to break through the overall constraint framework of the inside and outside, present his own path in front of himself, and step on it to continue moving forward.
The Demon King's Immortal Dao emerged.
The thousands of stars brightened and then quickly dimmed.
Because the owner is not here, the road is just empty.
And because of interfering factors.
The lingering hatred of the Phoenix.
Ever since the remaining hatred of this deity was appeased by the Azure Sky Contract in the Resentful Demon Realm, it has been in an exceptionally peaceful state, burying itself deep in the sea, as if it had been tamed.
Of course it's an illusion!
At this moment, as Duen poked it without hesitation, the remaining hatred of the God in the depths of the Boundless Sea of Truth began to revive. It opened its eyes upwards and saw that the restriction port that had been restricting and hindering its ascent was now suddenly open, as if telling it, come here.
So it raised itself up and floated upward, not only opening its eyes of hatred, but also flapping its wings of hatred. That horrible link of truth, the hatred that destroyed the turbid evil of heaven and earth, now suddenly rose up into the sky!
The Demon King's Immortal Dao was affected by it and stopped spreading itself. Instead, it gathered and rushed towards it.
Because the two had just met, confrontation and oppression naturally occurred.
It is quite natural that there are conflicts among the five elements, and there are oppositions between the yin and yang of heaven and earth. The Phoenix is so resentful that it wants to burn everything to ashes!
Although the Demon King's Immortal Dao has lost its self-centered and tyrannical nature, the Demon King's true nature still cannot be erased. It is still fine when it is not provoked, but once it is provoked, it will naturally resist and return to its original state, showing its unparalleled tyranny and its inability to tolerate disobedience.
The two sides collided violently behind the surface, and the brilliant golden and turbid flames erupted along the hole opened by Dunn, instantly evaporating the lunar surface that permeated the area and turning the desolate planet into nothing.
Then, because the fight between the two was too fierce, the already stirring Taiyin force manifested itself, and that force that could return everything to nothingness and smooth out the turmoil, as if the eternal darkness that seemed to be in charge of the way of heaven, appeared directly from all directions and joined in.
put out?
It further fuels the flames!
As the three of them exploded, the port expanded and expanded, and the boundary seemed to be distorted. Only gold, turbidity and black were intertwined and torn apart. All three were endless and indestructible...
Du En was in the middle of the confrontation and was severely injured in the first encounter. All kinds of Taoist injuries appeared like whippings on his body, in his soul, in his magic weapons, shrines, magic power, and so on.
But, he just calmly continued to the next step.
Zhu Jun.
The avenue on the other side was still suppressing the evil fetus of ten thousand stars, but because of its rapid growth, it had enough energy to project some of it onto Dunn's body, immediately bathing in three colors and looking majestic.
The Emperor of China.
I raised my eyes slightly and aligned myself in the center. Being here is the center of the universe. The boundless world is mine and it is natural for me to dominate the world.
Squeak?
Squeak! Squeak!
The Demon Emperor's Immortal Dao was the first to boil.
The Zhonghuang Avenue was particularly stimulating to it, so the suns in the universe lit up one by one, and countless suns contributed their heat, as if the boundless heat was pushing it forward, and the avenue that spanned the entire universe where there was sunshine slowly reappeared.
A god, a figure, a will, appeared on the road at this moment. He looked down with indifference and coldness, raised his hand and was about to destroy the latecomer who attempted to usurp the throne in an instant.
“Cri, ri, ri!!!”
The beginning of evil, the beginning of sin, and stubbornness!
die! die! die! ! ! ! !
The Phoenix's remaining hatred was also greatly stimulated, and it completely pulled itself out from the depths of the boundless sea of truth. There was no trace of the red virtue left, and only a dirty dark brown color remained. The monstrous hatred that could destroy a star realm in an instant directly hit the path to return to the original Demon King's path.
Why not hit Doon?
Who said there was no collision?
Isn't he right in the middle?
Du En is in the middle, about to be the extreme, but then abandoned.
The Demon King was at the top and became extremely angry, wishing to destroy Taoism.
The turbid hatred rises from below, raising extreme hatred, wanting to burn the world.
And the real protagonist in the universe, the boundless lunar power that seems to be contrasted with the boundless sea of truth, is also showing very obvious and intense performance at this moment, as if something is behind the scenes fanning the flames, causing the image of returning to nothingness to cover the universe, offsetting and concealing the abnormality of the sun, and materializing the flow of substantial lunar power, like a viscous ocean, seemingly to drown and extinguish everything, but in fact it can only continue to fuel the burning!
"Is this really okay?"
In the nearest starry realm, the Holy Spirit was secretly using the sun in the distance to watch. She was actually the one who controlled the Demon King's Immortal Dao and even the Demon King's Great Dao. She thought she could help put the brakes on at the critical moment, but the situation was out of control in the blink of an eye. Even the Demon King's Immortal Dao had the thoughts of a god and became extremely angry. It was completely like she was encountering a state of conflict between enemies of the Dao, and even she, the "master", could not fully control it.
Du En was certainly not without confidence, and he knew that this would be extremely dangerous.
Although there has not been a specific statistics, the achievements of powerful geniuses are generally accompanied by painful choices, tragic blows, and all kinds of unbearable disasters.
It seems like the disaster has gone away now, but in fact it has never gone away.
There seems to be an invisible calamity in the dark, which is still inflicting on these favored ones who attempt to "go against the will of heaven". It is like a rule that is still in operation, and even the upper fairyland cannot completely get rid of it.
Or rather, don't want to peel off.
In short, in the midst of all the truths, Du En closed his eyes silently and activated the only necessary link, Taixuan Heyuan.
The moon and the sun are the two ends of the yin and yang.
The harmony of Yin and Yang is the beginning of Tai Chi.
It began to exist at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty.
The mysterious and profound is within it.
Under normal circumstances, one can take advantage of this opportunity to officially step into the Taixuan Avenue.
That’s right, this is the opportunity to step in.
As if to prevent Dunn from finding his own new path, another road suddenly appeared.
Naturally, he just stepped on it.
[Great Dao: Taixuan (0/10 for beginners)]
It was a pleasant surprise and I accepted it on the spot.
Then, decisively abandon it.
Are you on the road?
As above.
This is also a mysterious thing.
This is exactly Taixuan!
Three avenues, three circular tracks, interconnected and mutually reinforcing.
Taixuanxuan, Zhonghuangji, Zhu Junshe, and Taixuanxuan again...
Dunn's injuries were getting worse and worse, and he might die in the next moment. Even the Holy Spirit was worried, but he still took the opportunity to construct a framework of the three avenues to form a mutual generation and interaction, and used the way they promoted each other to continuously and steadily but slowly improve his proficiency.
With his realm of the Void Refining Stage, he was able to take advantage of the opportunity to combine and promote the three, which was already very remarkable and unprecedented.
However, this was just a casual gesture.
The real highlight is now.
Come, burn it, and throw it away.
Let Zhu Jun lose his deep crimson color and transform into blood-like bright activity!
Let the Emperor of China abandon his aspirations to be the best, and only keep the Emperor who is the only one who has established his foundation!
Let Taixuan lose Xuanxuan's heavenly heart, and only leave that human heart from now on!
Wash away the turbidity and remove the vermilion, do not take the golden sun, only obtain the red.
Looking at the signs reflecting me, only human ambition can eventually see the blazing red fire, filling the world with boundless quantity.
In the eyes of the only bystander, who only saw Du En, who was in danger and seemed to be about to fall in the next moment, suddenly raised his head and looked up, and suddenly a light bloomed from the depths of the wound, shining brightly. The path he had walked out in the boundless sea of truth was suddenly retracted at this moment, because all his explorations had obtained the answers he wanted.
Thus, the red flames were bright and vivid, individual but also in groups, not an ordinary sign, just like flowers clustered together, or like a painting made of ink, spreading throughout the desolate star field, surrounding the people within it.
people?
The Holy Spirit slightly opened his eyes in the egg, and saw only a human figure suspended in the middle surrounded by dark red flowers, blooming brilliantly, like an emperor or a saint, and surprisingly, it had a metaphysical, indescribable flavor.
She looked away and forgot the details.
She looked again and memorized it again on the spot.
"What kind of field has he reached? Or, in other words, what kind of field's boundary has he touched..."
Amidst the emotion, there is also a sense of pride and full of wishes.
The god of the Demon King Avenue was a little confused at this moment. He didn't know whether to continue pressing his hand, because he could no longer see the Emperor, but he still had the Emperor...
He eventually faded away and disappeared.
After all, it is no longer the Emperor who is in charge of this matter.
"Cry?"
Phoenix's remaining hatred should not have stopped, but at this moment, looking at Duan, it seemed as if his turbid color was washed away and returned to red.
An inexplicable feeling of uneasiness and fear actually breeds in hatred, and a silent feeling of envy and regret actually glows in the filth, so it chooses to sink and hide back to the bottom.
Then Duen reached out his hand, picked it up and used it as a lid, placing it on the abyss of all things.
Now that you're out, don't go back. Just be an incinerator and a fire booster.
He seemed to have these words in his calmness.
The return of all things to the abyss is not without negative effects, just like the remaining hatred of the Phoenix before, it's just that it's not obvious on Duen's surface. To be honest, doing this now will not alleviate anything, and may even only increase the negative pain.
At this moment, as the Demon King Immortal Dao and the Phoenix Yuhen stopped, the Taiyin Miscellaneous also disappeared silently, as if the power hidden behind the eternal theme of the universe had never been stirred by humans, just as it had been doing for countless years.
unexpected!
Everything ended so abruptly!
Including Du En, who showed signs of Taoism, he had also recovered to his normal state in an instant. There was no Taoism injury on his body. It didn't look like he had just escaped from death, nor did it look like he had gained the Tao again.
No, there are still performance characteristics.
For example, the star field where the desolate dead star is located is completely empty and there is nothing left.
For example, he broke through to the middle stage of the Void Refining Realm.
"Then let's stick with this name."
In the empty universe, Dunn's voice rang out.
"The Great Red Glory Emperor Sutra."
