In order to better protect Zhou Zheng. Yifan left the cave mansion and waited for Zhou Zheng to return to his guest house to rest, and after another two hours, he released the news of the death of Master Fahua Immortal in the early morning.

As soon as this news came out, the big competition naturally had to be postponed. However, according to Fahua's last words, the funeral was simple and only lasted for one day.

Immortal cultivators are different from the cumbersome funerals in the mortal world, they don't care about the form, and they don't even have tombs. It was only in the stele gallery of the cemetery that the name of Hokke and his life deeds were added.

All the immortal cultivators are in the Drunken Sun Peak, and they don't need to be notified by the obituary.

In the main hall of Zuiri Peak, Yifan and all the disciples held a dress worship, and everyone present stepped forward one by one to remember the worship and bid farewell to Fahua in a sigh.

The Divine Demon Mirror also sent people to worship, and the Law and Punishment Division was directly represented by Zhou Zheng.

Shang Da's three people also mixed in the crowd and gave Fahua incense. Ye Jing, who was returning the salute on the side, looked at the expressions of the three people, the sad look was not a disguise, and he couldn't help but be surprised in his heart, but he also secretly put his heart down.

After the ceremony and another night's rest, the competition officially began the next day.

There are more than 10,000 contestants participating in the competition, so the date of the competition is divided into three days. On the first day, it was a selection competition, and 100 people were divided into groups, and they were divided into more than 100 groups. Although each game was held in four groups at the same time, the nearly 30 competitions continued until dark.

Zhou Zheng showed up at the opening, and in the following time, he plunged into the library pavilion with Yifan's permission.

He is too poor in knowledge and information about body shaping, and he needs to find relevant information as soon as possible to guide him on what to do next!

There are many lessons learned by the predecessors and sages, and there are five or six hundred books. The amount of information in each book is quite large and complex. The most important thing is that there is no directory index at all, and it is all about where to write and what problems are encountered, and there is no standard combing.

This adds a huge burden to Zhou Zheng's search difficulty!

He couldn't quickly scan through the lines at a glance, he could only rummage through the pages one by one, like looking for a needle in a haystack of books to find that little bit of useful essence.

Until it was completely dark, he only got a few words about body shaping, and it didn't have much effect.

The next day, the 1,000 winners began to compete for a place in the promotion.

Zhou Zheng simply chose to be absent, and re-entered the library early in the morning, and continued yesterday's work.

To be able to stay in Drunken Sun Peak so openly and without suspicion, just for a day or two, he must speed up!

Yesterday, he had already read half of his thoughts, and today he will finish all the remaining books anyway.

One after another, it seems that many books have mentioned the matter of body shaping, but they are all a few words and a brushstroke, which does not help Zhou Zheng much at all! Seeing that the sky was starting to darken again, Zhou Zheng's mood couldn't help but become anxious. The speed of turning books is getting faster and faster, and the books that have been turned are not put back in their original places in a regular manner as before, but are thrown aside.

When he finished flipping through the last book and still found nothing, Zhou Zheng screamed in collapse and threw the book directly into the sky.

"Boy, these are the efforts of the sages, how dare you treat them so slowly?"

The voice that suddenly sounded in his ears frightened Zhou Zheng's heart.

In order not to disturb Zhou Zheng, Yifan had already ordered that no one should be allowed to enter the Library Pavilion, and moreover, an elder and a few disciples were specially left to guard the door!

How could someone come in without knowing it? Besides, with his current high realm, how could he not have noticed it in advance?

Zhou Zheng immediately turned around and clenched his fists to protect his chest and made a posture to meet the enemy.

Only then did he see clearly that there was an old man in a gray shirt with a white beard and a drooping chest standing in front of him, who was unhurriedly bending down to pick up the books he had dropped casually before.

The old man collected it very carefully and carefully, and after checking that it was indeed not damaged, he put it back in its original place.

Whenever there was a little bit of dust or a torn page, he was distressed. After carefully using the mana to restore it to its original state, he sighed and put it back in place.

The more Zhou Zheng looked, the more surprised he became.

This old man did not have a trace of spiritual power fluctuations on his body, and even when he cast spells, he still looked like a mortal old man.

What's even more incredible is that Zhou Zheng can't feel his existence!

In other words, Zhou Zheng can see the old man, and that is what the old man is willing to let him see! Otherwise, even with his cultivation, he would only feel that there was a cloud of air in front of him, and there was no air any different from the surroundings of the Library Pavilion!

Zhou Zheng was stunned! It's the first time he's grown up like this!

This old man is definitely much stronger than Wen Ruyuan's strength! Wen Ruyuan is already at the eighth level of the Immortal Rank, could it be that this old man who is not amazing is a master of the Ninth Layer of the Immortal Rank? Or, higher?

Zhou Zheng didn't dare to think about it!

He hurriedly put away his defensive stance, picked up the books scattered around him, and respectfully put them back in place.

He understands that he is definitely not the opponent of the old man, and in front of the old man, he doesn't even have a chance to make a move!

"The disciple is wrong! The disciple was anxious just now, he shouldn't be angry with these ancestors' books! Please punish the seniors! ”

Since this old man is on the Drunken Sun Peak, he must be a senior. At the very least, it will be a generation of people. Maybe it's the same brother of the generation of the ancestor Fahua! Zhou Zheng, as a disciple of his own sect, did something wrong, and it was natural for him to be punished by his predecessors.

"Knowing your mistakes can make a difference! You, not bad. After the old man finished sorting out all the books, he slowly turned around and looked at Zhou Zheng. However, you are not a disciple of this sect, and I am not a person from Drunken Sun Peak, so how can I punish him? ”

Zhou Zheng was shocked! The fact that he is a disciple of Drunken Sun Peak is rarely known, and the old man does not regard him as a disciple of the main sect, which is easy to understand.

However, the old man is not a person from Drunken Sun Peak, what does this mean? How could someone who wasn't Drunken Sun Peak be in the Library Pavilion of Drunken Sun Peak? Or is it the highest level? Moreover, looking at this posture, the old man should have been here for a long time!

The top floor of the Library Pavilion is one of the forbidden places of the Drunken Sun Peak! Except for the head of the sect, or those specially approved by the head of the sect, no elder disciple is allowed to enter, otherwise, it will be a capital offense! Not to mention outsiders!

"In the next week, it is the patrol of the Law and Punishment Division. Ask the seniors to have their names? ”

"It turned out to be an official of the Department of Law and Punishment, and he was still a true monarch. Young! The old man's name has not been mentioned for hundreds of years, and I have forgotten it myself. Just call me Old Man Mei! ”

"Mei... Senior," Zhou Zhenggang wanted to ask the old man directly how long he had been here, and what was the way he came from? After all, Zhou Zheng is the future head of Drunken Sun Peak, and he needs to figure out the details of everyone on the mountain.

However, after thinking about it, I am afraid that such a direct inquiry like that of a prisoner will not be able to cooperate, refuse to answer, or arouse the old man's disgust, and then make the old man angry, then the gain will outweigh the loss!

So, he hurriedly changed his tune.

"Senior Mei, you, are you in charge of taking care of the books here?"

The old man nodded, "Yes." These experiences, as well as those cheats, the secrets of Drunken Sun Peak, and the life deeds of each head, all the books here are organized and cleaned by me. Your question reminds me of some things in the past, and in a flash, I have been here for 300 years. ”

Three hundred years? Zhou Zheng was taken aback. He was even more convinced that this old man was a member of the generation of Master and Uncle, because, at that time, Master was the first batch of disciples to worship at the mountain gate.

However, the old man said that he was not a person from Drunken Sun Peak. Could it be that he, like Master Yichen, is the person who was expelled from the mountain gate by his master?

However, how could his cultivation be so profound? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like an apprentice taught by the master, but it looks like the master or elder of the master. Could it be that he is the ancestor who survived the Great War of Immortals and Demons?

Zhou Zheng was frightened by his thoughts. He hurriedly shook his head in disapproval. Wrong! The old man said that he had only been here for 300 years, and the time was not right.

So, who is the old man? Where did it come from?

Seeing that Zhou Zheng didn't speak for a long time, the old man opened his mouth first.

"I see you've been rummaging so eagerly for the past two days, what are you looking for?"

"Below..."Zhou Zhengben wanted to make up a suitable reason to conceal his true intentions, because he was now in the state of the primordial god, he didn't want too many people to know.

However, just as he was about to speak, he suddenly realized that the old man had been here for three hundred years, and he must have known that there were records about body shaping. Besides, the old man's own unfathomable cultivation will definitely have some opinions of his own regarding body shaping. Why don't you ask for advice?

"It's no secret, the junior has now entered the sixth layer of the immortal rank, but there is very little information about the situation of this layer of body shaping. Therefore, I came here to find some experience from my ancestors to help myself. ”

"Hehe, then you're in the wrong place! As the leader of the Seven Great Sects, Drunken Sun Peak was so prosperous before, and how abundant the resources were! In other aspects, these ancestors of yours have a lot of insights, but there is almost no body shaping. ”

From the two days of nothing, Zhou Zheng already knew the result, however, he didn't understand why.

"Please also ask your seniors to teach you."

"There's nothing to teach, just think about it. Before they prepared to shape their bodies, their division commander had already prepared the natural materials and earth treasures they needed, and had already told them the precautions during this period. They did what the division commander told them to do, what can they think? What will you learn? ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned. yes, why didn't I think of that?

He was a little discouraged for a moment, and his face was full of disappointment that he couldn't hide.

"Haha," the old man seemed to see through Zhou Zheng's thoughts, and he continued, "The plastic body is the easiest layer of the nine layers of the Immortal Rank to pass through, and no one is stopped because of this layer. Do you know why? ”

"Can everyone find the right natural treasure?" Zhou Zheng was puzzled.

"How can there be so many treasures?" The old man shook his head.

"But..."Zhou Zheng was very puzzled, when Master Su Xi and Master Wen Ruyuan mentioned this layer, the first thing they said was to find a genius treasure. Moreover, all the people who enter the immortal level, it seems that in everyone's subconscious, they all know that the body must have natural treasures as materials in order to succeed!

The old man did not explain directly, but began to talk about spiritual practice.

"The cultivation of the human race starts from the human level, and when you are promoted to the earth level, you usher in the first heavenly thunder tribulation, and after that, when you enter the heavenly level from the earth level, it is the second path. And when it comes to the Heavenly Rank, there is a Heavenly Thunder Tribulation at each level, until the peak of the Heavenly Rank ushers in the Five Tribulation Heavenly Thunders. Do you know why? ”

Zhou Zheng really didn't know about this, and no one had told him.

"Because, cultivating immortals is a move against the sky, and entering the heavenly step indicates that you are about to touch the threshold of the Great Dao. You have to remember that the word is not lightly preached! If you want to obtain the Great Dao Sutra, you must go through layers of tests and tribulations, and only those who are qualified can be favored by heaven and earth! Therefore, the six heavenly thunders are the threshold!

Entering the immortal ladder means that you have officially begun to comprehend the avenue. The immortal ladder is divided into nine layers, but there are only two heavenly tribulations. Less than when the Heavenly Ladder was in the sky. Do you know why? ”

Zhou Zheng was a little stunned at this time, but he was quite excited. No one had ever given him such a systematic lecture on the path of cultivation. Master Yichen is because his own cultivation is only the peak of the Heavenly Rank Great Perfection, and it is impossible to explain to him in such a high degree of detail. And Master Su Xi didn't expect him to make such rapid progress in such a short period of time, and he hadn't had time to tell him so much.

"The younger generation doesn't know. I beg your seniors to teach me! ”

Seeing that Zhou Zheng was so modest and studious, the old man was also very happy. He continued, "Because, the immortal level originally only had two layers, one was to cultivate the incorruptible body of Vajra, and the other was to cultivate the immaculate and dustless heart!"

Why is it the way it is, I don't understand what's going on? It seems that someone has deliberately divided the immortal ladder so cumbersomely, and," the old man hesitated for a moment, and said thoughtfully, "Moreover, the form is similar, but it deliberately creates obstacles, reverses the essence and the end, and increases the difficulty of finally becoming an immortal!" ”

Zhou Zheng was stunned! The impact of these words is too great!

"Senior, how should the original immortal rank be cultivated?"

The old man shook his head, "I don't know. I came to this conclusion by studying the books here and through the experiences and insights left by the first 100 heads and elders. As for the beginning, how did the Terran Immortal Rank cultivate? I don't get it either. ”

Zhou Zheng set off a stormy wave in his heart! Two days ago, Fahua and Yifan just told him that they guessed that someone might have deliberately blocked everyone's opportunity to enter the immortal level. Today, I heard again the suspicion that the cultivation of the Immortal Rank had been tampered with!

Could it be that someone is deliberately targeting the Terrans? If that's the case, that person's identity must be a Golden Immortal! Only Jin Xian has such great ability! But why?

"Through hundreds of years of scrutiny and comparison, I found that your ancestors were in the Immortal Rank Period, and the first stage was to quench the body. There are those who supplement their own deficiencies with heavenly and earthly treasures, and there are those who simply reshape their golden bodies with good spiritual objects, and there are also those who directly use their own strong bodies to keep forging and tempering, and finally they can also cultivate into a golden body. It seems that everyone is different, but in the end, they can basically succeed in body shaping.

And the second stage is to refine the mind. In this regard, they have the most understanding, and moreover, they encounter the most difficulties in cultivating. There are also the most people trapped in this layer and stagnant!

However, as long as the heart refining is successful, it is the great consummation of the immortal level, and after that, when the cultivation is stable and fully prepared, as long as you can carry the nine heavenly thunders, you can officially step into the immortal realm!

However, more than nine hundred years ago, or even earlier, the cultivation of the immortal rank began to slowly stratify. First, there was more theory of destroying the body, and after that, the original spirit was separated from the refining heart alone, and what kind of combination was filled. Probably on the eve of the Great War of Immortals and Demons, or a little further back, the cultivation system of the ninth layer of the Immortal Rank was finally formed. ”

"Senior, this kind of cultivation method, will this refinement be to make it easier for everyone to cultivate?"

Zhou Zheng was still a little difficult to accept the idea that someone with a golden immortal deliberately targeted the human race. Moreover, the one fist layer of heaven that Master Su Xi taught himself was also completely cultivated in accordance with the model of the ninth layer of the immortal rank!

If there was really something wrong with the current immortal-level cultivation system, Zhou Zheng felt that the master would definitely be able to see the difference! However, Master did not mention it to himself. Is it too late? Or does Master just think it's okay at all?

"Easier? Perhaps! However, I don't think so. Don't you think that thousands of years ago, the chance of ascending to immortality was greater? Or, in the past six or seven hundred years, how many people have you heard of who have been ranked in the Immortal Class? ”

Zhou Zheng didn't seem to have heard of it alone, and in addition, there didn't seem to be any file on this in the Department of Law and Punishment, so he had no way of knowing.

However, just because Zhou Zheng was not clear, he didn't dare to jump to conclusions, thinking that there was something wrong with the current immortal-level cultivation system!

Seeing that Zhou Zheng still didn't fully believe it, the old man smiled faintly and did not force it.
