Chapter 171: Dao Xuan Visits
Regarding Li He's words, Pu Zhi didn't know how to respond for a while: as a cultivator, he obviously firmly believed in immortality, otherwise what was the purpose of cultivation? You must know that Tianyin Temple is a Buddhist sect, except for a few of them, everyone else is a high-ranking monk, who does not compete for hegemony, only practices by himself, just for immortality.
If he didn't even have the hope of immortality, he would have practiced penance all his life, which would be a joke.
However, if you want to say that you firmly believe in immortality, for thousands of years, cultivators have been like carp crossing the river, how many people have really achieved immortality?
Not a single one.
Even if it was the Qingye Patriarch who carried forward the Qingyun Gate at the beginning, he was amazingly brilliant and invincible in the world, but he only lived for seven hundred and fifty years before he passed away. Others, perhaps through special methods, live longer, but only for a thousand years.
Compared with the ordinary monks of hundreds of years, that is, the difference between middle-aged and old people and centenarians, there is no essential change.
Therefore, whether immortality exists or not has always been a mystery.
"In fact, at the earliest, the people of this world cultivated immortals and cultivated the Tao for the sake of immortality, but later because immortality was too difficult, they couldn't see any hope at all, so they turned to study powerful martial arts and spells, and pursued to dominate the world." Li He said: "It can be said that from the perspective of immortality, from the founding of the Qingyunmen sect two thousand years ago to the present, there has been no change in the cultivation world. The strength of the cultivator may have become stronger, but the lifespan has not increased much. ”
The people of the Zhuxian world are really a pity to say.
Zhang Xiaofan is the dividing line of the times, before him, you were a generation of Tianjiao, peerless, and in the end, the soul returned to heaven and earth, and you couldn't seek immortality. After Zhang Xiaofan, the cultivation world as a whole only took a small step forward, but the world took a big step forward and opened the era of "immortality".
In fact, whether it is the world of cultivating immortals or the world of science and technology, there is a world of difference between immortality and not being immortal.
Immortality means that the top people can exist forever, the more they accumulate, the more they accumulate, and they do not live forever, because there is no direction, they often develop for a period of time, and there will be a fall, so as to fall into a cycle, and the high and low can never break through.
The world of Zhuxian is that for thousands of years, there have been too many people who have rushed to the node of "becoming immortals".
But from beginning to end, no one became immortals, and it was not until a thousand years later that Zhang Xiaofan's family was not old and immortal, and the era of immortality appeared...... But that is the future, the world of immortals at this time, that is, immortal cultivators are only one foot away from immortality, but they give up the pursuit and go to play the view of the portal and dominate the world.
It's a classic abandonment, but they don't know it.
In fact, not only them, but too many people in the crowd gave up at the moment before success, and many mediocre people with no name may be just a little bit away from the musicians, writers, painters, etc., but because they give up, they are lost to everyone.
However, this seems to be a pity, and it is actually not a pity.
Because the most fundamental element of success is firm faith, which cannot be done at all, why should it be successful?
It's a real pity that it's Puzhi who is still struggling to seek immortality, they don't forget their original intentions, but because of the general environment, they hit walls everywhere, and they are only one step away from becoming immortals, but they finally turned into a piece of loess.
Of course, only for Puzhi himself.
The biggest masterpiece of his life, "Zhang Xiaofan", was truly respected as an ancestor in the later period, and ranked among the top among the immortals, but he didn't have a chance to see it himself.
"In this world, is there really an immortality?" An elderly Taoist walked outside the door and spoke.
This is an immortal cultivator in the realm of the Yuan God, although it is only the early stage, and even the "Yuan Shen Law Phase" has not been condensed, but after all, it has surpassed the Jindan level, and it is fundamentally different from Pu Zhi and others.
The most obvious thing is that Puzhi and others will definitely die if they lose their physical bodies, and this person has a way to live.
"Why is there another person who asks such a simple question?" Li He said: "Aren't you obvious that you have ten times more lifespan than ordinary people? If you go up to the door and raise it a little more, it will be a thousand times, and even immortal. ”
The road to immortality, in fact, is the most difficult to break through in the early stage, and it makes no difference if you find a way to prolong your life in the later stage and live for a thousand years or ten thousand years.
There are even many ways to achieve "pseudo-immortality" at the level of the original god, although you can't really live forever, you can always be immortal and always keep yourself alive. Among them, the best ones even turned into "earth immortals", alongside the true immortals in the sky.
"But if you go any further, it's harder." The old Taoist priest said.
He is none other than the head of Qingyun Sect Xuanzhen, the highest level of pure theory in this era, there is no one.
Just now, Cang Song used his disciples to reveal Li He's existence to Dao Xuan, and asked the curious Dao Xuan to go down the mountain in person, wanting to see what kind of sacredness this was—I have to say that Cang Song actually miscalculated.
In his opinion, the couch does not allow others to sleep soundly, and Dao Xuan must not be able to tolerate the existence of Li He at the foot of Qingyunmen Mountain.
But in Dao Xuan's opinion, this is not a big deal, because there are too few people at the "Taiqing" level in this world, rather than driving him away, it is better to persuade him to join Qingyunmen and discuss with himself how to pursue immortality.
Yes, immortality.
Dao Xuan is actually also pursuing, as the only "Taiqing" in this era, his strength far exceeds that of Wan Jianyi, Wan Wan Xiang and anyone else, Qingyunmen, as the leader of the righteous path, the number one faction in the world, has no intention of dominating the world.
To be reasonable, they have already dominated the world, and they are still fighting for a hair?
Does the emperor need to find a way to get promoted?
Therefore, most of Dao Xuan's mind was on how to pursue immortality.
The reason for rejecting Puzhi is only because he does not recognize Puzhi's way and cannot completely detach himself from the view of the portal. Of course, the most important thing is that Puzhi's cultivation is too poor, and it is only in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and there are two realms away from Taiqing, playing snakeskin?
If Puzhi had the Taiqing realm, he might have agreed.
It's far away, and now, Dao Xuan originally had a curious attitude and wanted to come over to see if Li He was in the "Taiqing" realm, but he happened to hear Li He talking about immortality, so he asked if there was really immortality.
It's not for the answer, it's purely to know what Li He thinks.
"Immortality is not a simple thing to do, at least for you, it is very, very difficult." Li He said, "But you have been practicing for hundreds of years, are you still afraid of this difficulty? According to the poor Dao, it only takes one opportunity for a large group of immortal immortals to appear in this world! ”
A large number of people become immortals, it is obviously impossible, he fooled Dao Xuan.
But it is not difficult to change this world and give everyone a direction so that they can see immortality.
And this is also an opportunity for him to seek merit and luck in this world.
"The words are reasonable, but with your cultivation, it is not very convincing." Dao Xuan could easily see through Li He's cultivation, so he shook his head and said, "You are still young, if you cultivate for a few hundred more years and reach the 'Taiqing' realm, you will know what the situation is now." ”
Li He heard this: "......"
