Chapter 65: The Monk's Grave
Luo Tian only knew that this Tongxuan City was extremely big, but he didn't expect that there was a long street here that stretched from north to south. Originally, he didn't know about it, but after Elder Li said this, he also knew how long this street was. There is a saying in the small spirit world: "Through Xuanchang Street, it leads directly to the south and the north." The Eight Great Immortal Palaces are like turtles in urns. "This is probably spread between the scattered cultivators and those small forces, and it seems that the powerful Immortal Palace will be checked and balanced by a family. It was even more ridiculous that the forces led by the Eight Great Immortal Palaces were even forced to build such a majestic city near the spatial whirlpool, which could be regarded as a mockery of the major immortal palaces.
In fact, in the entire small spirit world, it is not the Immortal Palace that covers the sky with one hand, let alone the immortal cultivation family dominated by Xuancheng that can dominate the world. In the small spirit realm, there are still many mortal realms like the Xuanyuan Continent. It's just that those mortal realms are all dependent on the major immortal palaces, and there are very few countries that can surpass the immortal palaces. In other words, most of the countries in the small spirit realm are very small, usually hundreds of thousands or millions of square circles. And many of them are because it is difficult for the descendants of monks to become monks, although they can be obtained by taking panacea, but after all, it is a waste, so they are abandoned by the family.
Over time, a mortal kingdom was formed, dominated by monks descended from many families. The monks seem to be experiencing a so-called decline in their bloodline. Even if their own ancestor is still alive, they are still Yuanzun immortals, but their blood connection with the ancestor has weakened from generation to generation, until they finally become mortals, not to mention cultivating immortals and becoming immortals. Elder Li told Luo Tian that under this palace of hundreds of immortals, there were no less than a few hundred mortal realms. These mortal realms can't find the immortal mountains of the major immortal palaces.
For example, the hundreds of thousands of miles under the jurisdiction of the Aoki Immortal Palace are actually only talking about the scope covered by the Immortal Palace Great Array. Outside of the Asgard Palace, it is actually within the jurisdiction of the Aoki Immortal Palace. It's just that more than ninety percent of the area is no longer in the Great Array, so it has become the place where mortals live. Those places are either the descendants of the monks who were exiled from the Asgard Palace, or they are the descendants of mortals whose families have degraded and lost the possibility of cultivating immortals. Moreover, in this small spiritual realm, the mortal realm is not allowed to be destroyed by monks at will. If a monk from Asgard wants to go to the mortal realm, he also needs to contact the local overseer monk, so as not to disturb the life of mortals.
Although this is a small spirit realm, there are very few mortals in the mortal realm who have actually seen a monk above the spirit yuan realm. Monks below the Lingyuan Realm are required to hide their identities, and even if they move around in the mortal world, they cannot rely on the strength of their monks to infringe on mortals. Because the major immortal palaces all agree that although these mortals seem to be as weak as ants, ants can still break through the embankment of a thousand miles. And they all believed that only mortals were the hope of the monk's future. Luo Tian has a deep understanding of this.
When he was in the Xuanyuan Continent, Luo Tian was originally born as a mortal. Of course, his father was an immortal cultivator, but it wasn't until Luo Tian's mother died that he knew that he had the blood of the immortal cultivator family in his body. If he spends his life peacefully, it will only be a hundred years. That's no different from a mortal, let alone a path of cultivating immortals. Therefore, Luo Tian knew the thoughts of the major immortal palaces, that is, most of the talents of Tianzong were born in recklessness, and the geniuses of cultivating immortals were inevitably born in mortals. Luo Tian's analysis recorded in ancient books shows that the human race did not have so-called monks at all in the early days, so there was no high nobility. Just like the martial artists among mortals who mainly refine their bodies and strengthen their bodies, although they are sometimes not as powerful as monks, they can exercise their physical bodies and be able to take a few feet, although they don't need to be great monks, but they can also be equal to the strength of monks in the Yang Yuan Realm.
It's a long story, Luo Tian and Elder Li chatted while walking, and they also walked nearly ten miles along the way. Elder Li was leisurely, and didn't seem to care if Luo Tian could find the items he needed. He was fascinated by some of Luo Tian's whimsical ideas. Although Elder Li is one of the top ten elders of the Immortal Palace, the higher the so-called realm, the stronger the strength, the more doubts and thoughts must be. Therefore, Luo Tian's words made Elder Li see a different angle of cultivation. That angle may not be immortal, but it is possible to be free in heaven and earth.
For monks, especially when they reach the realm of Elder Li, it seems that it will be difficult to break through to a higher realm in the end. So they are living with a small hope and a great loss. It can be said that life is like a year, especially the top ten elders like them, in addition to often dealing with the affairs of the Immortal Palace, they are basically contemplating how to go further. However, the truth is that they have suffered an even greater blow. In the tens of thousands of years of the Asgard Palace, there has rarely been a person who can touch a higher realm. They could just feel that there was a realm that was more powerful than Yuan Zun, but they didn't know how to break through after all. It seems that this is a kind of fate, which is difficult to resist and difficult to break through.
Therefore, after reaching the realm of Elder Li, most of the monks will choose to either participate in the affairs of the Immortal Palace, or go all the way to the dark, and seek a breakthrough and find the legendary realm. But there is a 90% chance that the latter will lose, and there are few rumors of a strong Yuanzun breaking through. Over time, this seems to have become a fate. Even if you live for 10,000 years, you will eventually become a handful of loess like a mortal. However, the monks are better than mortals, because they have been nourished by the vitality of heaven and earth and all kinds of rare treasures, their physical bodies have been unbelievably strong, and the physical bodies of all Yuanzun monks will not rot, or the process is extremely slow, which can be described as the time for the sea to dry and rot.
In other words, after the monk is incarnated, the physical body will remain. Many monks built their own tombs, which are the remains of Luo Tian's knowledge. But many of them are ancient ruins, and nowadays most monks have turned into the Tao, such as Aoki Sengu, there are places dedicated to burying the bodies of high-ranking people, and those places are guarded by powerful monks, who are also considered tomb keepers. This errand may not seem good, but it is not.
In the Xuanyuan Continent, Luo Tian didn't pay attention to this kind of thing, and at that time, he saw that the dead monks were not dead of old age at all, they were all killed by other monks. If a monk kills another monk, how can he have the leisure to build a tomb for him to bury his body? It's probably just killing people and grabbing treasures, or the enemies are very angry when they see each other, and they can't wait to dismantle the other party and wash away the other party's belongings. In the Immortal Palace, if it is an old monk who dies because of the exhaustion of his longevity, although they will leave a large amount of cultivation resources to future generations before they die, some monks will still keep their own storage magic weapons such as Qiankun bags.
This can be regarded as a kind of burial, generally those monks who are unwilling, or monks who have no descendants of disciples, who think that the cultivation wealth they have accumulated through hard work and life are unwilling to take it out and hand it over to the Asgard. In this way, even if that monk turns into a Taoist, the Asgard Palace will not take back the other party's cultivation wealth. Instead, they were buried with each other's bodies. The graves of mortals are no more than a few feet, and they are no more than a few feet deep. Even the emperor of the Ninety-Five Emperor among mortals is only a little older. Most of the monks' tombs are special. They are not simply buried, but purposefully preserved.
Most of the monks believed that it might not be possible for them to understand the true meaning of life and death, but perhaps one day in the future, they thought that the monks with outstanding talents would understand it. When the time comes, if there is a way to bring the deceased back to life, and then do not consume itself. Asgard went back and resurrected the monks whose bodies had been preserved intact. This is what every monk would expect in his heart before he became enlightened. Therefore, the Asgard Palace has undergone special treatment, and even some monks have spent all their savings to buy elixirs or genius earth treasures that can preserve the integrity of the physical body. Take it yourself or set it down before you die. Or ask your former friends or something. In this way, over time, the Immortal Palace has accumulated a large number of powerful Yuanzun powerhouses.
Among the monks, there is a group of monks, they are good at puppet arts, some evil people actually steal the Yuanzun immortals to get the body, after their own special processing, those flesh is like walking corpses, but it is extremely strong. Luo Tian hadn't seen it, but he had heard of it. That kind of ability to refine the flesh as a magic weapon, Luo Tian was really curious. However, he felt that he was not ashamed of the way he humiliated the flesh of his predecessors. It is precisely because of the existence of those people that the major immortal palaces generally bury the bodies of their predecessors secretly, except for a very few people who know about it, the ordinary immortal palace disciples do not know where they are.
That's why it's a well-known secret. Everyone knew that only the body of the monk of the Yuanzun realm would be secretly buried in a secret place in the Immortal Palace, but everyone didn't know where that place was. There were people who tried to find the hidden place, but in the end, before they could find it, they were discovered by Asgard and held accountable. Generally, those people are spies who have infiltrated the Asgard Palace or spies of other races.
Luo Tian saw that Elder Li actually told himself such a secret thing, and it seemed that the other party really had the idea of accepting him as an apprentice. In order to divert Elder Li's attention, he saw that in a small shop, there seemed to be something he needed. So Luo Tian pretended to be happy to himself, saying that he had finally found the item he needed. Elder Li seemed to be talking energetically, and suddenly heard Luo Tian say this, and he was also pulled back to reality by the other party from his thoughts. However, when Elder Li saw the name of the shop, he began to wonder I1387 again
