took the first step of 'turning gods into mortals', and the whole person's temperament changed greatly.

In the eyes of Nangong Yongchang and others, survival is no longer a Yuan infant monk.

But at the same time, Chengsheng is also not a monk of the incarnation period.

The realm he is currently in is between the stage of transformation and the stage of primordial infancy. If I had to use one word to describe it, it would be 'half-step godhood'.

On East Market Street.

After the breakthrough, he was in a good mood, and when he saw that so many monks were present, he simply sat cross-legged on the ground.

He waved his hand and said to the countless monks present, "Everyone, sit down." ”

"My breakthrough this time has given me some new insights in my cultivation, and since you can get together by chance, then I will say a few words casually."

Hearing what Cheng Sheng said, the eyes of the monks present showed a hint of joy.

Clearly, it was intended to 'preach' to the people.

There are powerful people who are willing to preach for the younger generations, this is an extremely rare opportunity, not to mention that survival is something that has never appeared on the Light Feather Star, and there is a powerful person who has the cultivation of 'half-step transformation into a god'.

For a while, all the monks sat on the ground on the street of the East Market.

The very few who didn't grab a place simply sat on the roof or even the eaves

For a time, nearly 1,000 monks and onlookers who ate melons completely surrounded Dongbazaar Street.

And while the crowd was sitting on the floor, intending to hear a living sermon.

Zhao Yuan, the emperor of Zhao State, who discovered the vision of the East Market, and hundreds of officials also rushed to the scene one after another.

"Chen Bai Haosi."

"Chen Lile."

"Chen Fei Yuanqing."

"I've seen Your Majesty!"

on the street.

Seeing the arrival of Emperor Zhao Yuan, the ministers led by Prime Minister Bai Haosi, Taifu Lile and Fei Yuanqing all saluted Zhao Yuan.

"Excuse me." Zhao Yuan, who was only thinking about cultivating immortals, waved his hand and said a perfunctory sentence casually, and then put all his attention on the successful survival of the newly enlightened Dao.

He frowned and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, have you noticed? Old Immortal Zhang, he seems to have become a little different from before. ”

"Indeed."

Prime Minister Bai Haosi nodded in agreement.

Cultivation is not only about natural talents, but also about human feelings.

——Bai Haosi, who got along with Chengsheng quite well, finally managed to break through to the late stage of Qi training with the help of Chengsheng after a year of hard work.

So it's not just Zhao Yuan.

Bai Haosi also saw the change in life.

It's just that the two of them are only Qi cultivation stage cultivators in the end, so they can only know what it is at the moment, but they don't know why.

Bai Haosi looked at Cheng Huo in the distance and said, "Compared with before, Old Immortal Zhang seems to have become a little. Some of it feels unpredictable. ”

"He looks like he's sitting cross-legged on the ground, but when you look closely, you can't figure out if he's not in that position."

Bai Haosi, who described it for a long time, finally described his current life in one sentence: "Ethereal, no trace, it's really magical!" ”

While Bai Haosi was talking with Emperor Zhao Yuan, Cheng Sheng had already looked at them.

With a smile on his face, he said calmly to Emperor Zhao Yuan, Bai Haosi and other officials, "Come and sit down, I'll preach to you." ”

Emperor Zhao Yuan and the officials did not understand the specific meaning of the word 'preaching'.

But even if it's just a literal meaning, it's not hard to know: in any case, this is definitely a rare opportunity.

Therefore, the emperor and the officials didn't think much about it, they directly followed the example of the rest of the monks, and sat on the ground on the outside regardless of their status.

After the hundred officials and emperors took the lead, some people who were happy to join in the excitement also gathered around one after another.

So.

The monks are in the innermost.

The court officials were in the center.

The people gathered around the outermost periphery.

The monks and mortals of the entire Great Cause City gathered on the East Market Street to listen to the living preaching.

on the streets.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Cheng Huo began to preach: "The sky is impermanent, the Tao is nameless, and what I am talking to you today is the Tao that all monks need to comprehend on the path of cultivation. ”

"The so-called Tao cannot be described in words, so we must comprehend and observe the so-called Tao from nothing."

"At the same time, we also need to understand the clues of observing the Tao from what we have."

"Nothing and existence come from the same source, which is the general gate of all things in heaven and earth, and the fastest way to comprehend the Tao"

Perhaps it is the avenue of survival, which invisibly fits the principle of heaven and earth.

While he was talking, lotus flowers bloomed in the air, golden lotuses appeared on the ground, and dragons and phoenixes could be seen dancing in the sky.

The dragon's groans and phoenix's chirpings all went straight to the sky.

Although the words spoken by Chengsheng are mysterious and obscure, those who can hear them can unconsciously immerse themselves in them.

When I hear the wonders, I am overjoyed.

Some people will also have an epiphany on the spot after hearing a few words of survival, and their cultivation will skyrocket.

What's more, they will even break through to the next realm directly on the spot.

The sermon lasted three days and three nights. In the process of preaching, there are mortals who once become enlightened, and immediately draw qi into the body to break through to the late stage of qi training.

There are also those who break through from the Qi training period to the foundation building period, and from the foundation building period to the Jindan period.

And the surnames Li, Murong and Daoyou, who already have the early cultivation of Yuanying and can break through with just one foot in the door, have successfully broken through to the middle of Yuanying.

As for Tianmen Ancestor Nangong Yongchang, it is only one step away from the late Yuan Infant period.

On the streets of the East Bazaar.

After the sermon was over, Nangong Yongchang, who had cultivated to the highest level, was the first to wake up from his immersion state.

He respectfully clenched his fists and held his disciple salute: "Junior Nangong Yongchang, thank you for the grace of your predecessors for preaching and receiving karma!" ”

As soon as the words fell, the three Yuan Infant Monks surnamed Yun, surnamed Murong and surnamed Li also woke up from their immersion state and rushed together to see each other.

Then there were the monks of the Jindan period, and the monks of the foundation building period

After all the monks present woke up one after another, they said, "The path of cultivation I have taken is a cultivation system that directly absorbs the 'power of emotion', which is a little different from your cultivation of absorbing spiritual power. ”

"Monks who absorb spiritual power to cultivate, after breaking through to the Yuan Infant Stage, need to break through the three small realms of the early, middle, and late Yuan Infant periods."

"It is not until the Great Perfection of the Yuan Infant Stage that you can begin to enlighten and prepare to break through to the Transformation Stage."

"And cultivators who absorb the 'power of emotions' and break through to the deep diving stage don't need to be so troublesome."

"I'm a deep diving monk."

"Therefore, I can't teach you the method of cultivation in the Yuan Infant Period, all I can teach you is the method of enlightenment after breaking through to the Great Perfection of the Yuan Infant Period."

Nangong Yongchang didn't say much, just rushed to live and say goodbye.

The rest of the people followed suit.

Seeing that everyone was so respectful to him, he couldn't help but feel a little unbearable in his heart.

- In order to complete the second step of 'turning a god into a mortal', a practitioner must make a great wish from the bottom of his heart, from the perspective of the interests of all mortals in the world.

And it's extremely difficult to accomplish this.

After all, as long as there are people in this world, they will have selfish intentions, and no one will really be willing to consider the whole world from the bottom of their hearts.

There are very few such people.

Therefore, Chengsheng found another way, planning to wait for nearly ninety percent of the mortals on the Light Feather Star to die in the catastrophe before making up his mind.

At that time, for the only tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people left on the planet, Chengsheng is still willing to pay for these people from the bottom of his heart.

Without him, just because the price paid at this time is very small.

Therefore, the mortals on the star of Light Feather must die.

This naturally also includes the Zhao Kingdom, including the mortals of Daye City

"Senpai?"

While thinking, a 'senior' will wake up Chengsheng from a state of contemplation.

I only heard Nangong Yongchang say respectfully beside him: "Right now, the Guangyu Star is in a catastrophe, and the people and low-level monks are in danger. ”

"In order to save as many people as possible, the juniors set up a 'Lingyan Great Array' in the Tianmen station, and this time I specially invited the seniors to go to the Tianmen station to preside over the overall situation."

"I hope that the seniors can help for the sake of the common people in the world!"

As soon as Nangong Yongchang's words fell, the three monks surnamed Li, surnamed Yun and surnamed Murong immediately echoed and said, "Respectfully invite the seniors to come out of the mountain!" ”

At the moment when the words came out, the monks of the Jindan period and the foundation building period who were traveling with them also rushed into the living and said: "Respectfully invite the seniors to come out of the mountain!" ”

People are selfish.

Breaking through to a higher realm and gaining a longer lifespan, I believe that most people will not hesitate to choose the former compared to saving more people.

It's like surviving.

Chengsheng has always thought so, and has always done so.

But at this moment, when it really came time to make a choice to survive, choosing whether to save or not to save others, I always thought that I was very selfish to live, but I hesitated again.

Human emotions are complex.

You never know when you'll relent.

On East Market Street.

Seeing countless people kneeling in front of him, he felt something about his life, so he said helplessly: "Yes. The old man will go with you and go to the Tianmen station. ”

As he spoke, he looked at the Emperor of Zhao in the distance, as well as the officials.

"In addition to the people who already exist in the Tianmen station, I will trouble you and move the mortals of all the countries on the Light Feather Star to your station!"

"The old man doesn't ask you to save everyone, he only asks that if you can save it, try your best to save it!"

Hearing what Cheng Huo said, Zhao Yuan, the emperor of Zhao State, and the hundred officials were overjoyed, and they all looked at Cheng Huo with a grateful face.

Tianmen Ancestor Nangong Yongchang was even more moved and said: "Senior Gao Yi! Not only is he willing to preach and receive a career for us, but he also cares about all the people in the world at all times. ”

"Huh,"

Cheng Sheng only shook his head and smiled, without saying much.

In fact, to be honest, he originally hoped that the mortals on the Light Feather Star would die as many as possible from the bottom of his heart.

But since turning a god into a mortal, from a monk to an old man who sells candy in the city, he has changed his own opinion.

Because in his mind, there are many more lingering figures

In the courtyard of the Zhang family, the boss of the Zhang family, who served him tea and water every day and cooked him a bowl of porridge in the morning.

There are also two other sons and one daughter of the Zhang family who were not very filial, but after knowing their ability to survive, they have become extremely attentive.

There is also Zhao Yuan, the emperor of Zhao who has always regarded himself as a disciple.

Prime Minister Bai Haosi.

Even includes the eunuchs and maids who have been serving around Chenghuo, as well as the passers-by who occasionally come to the Chenghuo stall to join in the fun and look at Chenghuo with respect.

After more than a year of getting along, these people have more or less established a certain bond with Chengsheng.

The idea of survival had changed, and he no longer wanted to see these people die in the catastrophe.

"Ahh

Feeling something, Cheng Sheng smiled and sighed: "If you can't turn into a god, you can't turn into a god, people live, in the final analysis, they still have to conform to their own heart in order to live with their thoughts and live with a transparent heart!" ”

"Can't turn into a god?" Nangong Yongchang has always been very sensitive to the matter of transforming into a god.

Hearing what Cheng Sheng said, he hurriedly asked: "The predecessor just said that he can't turn into a god, is it because he wants to go to the Tianmen station to sit in the town?" ”

"It's not." Cheng Sheng shook his head and said, "It's just that I suddenly don't want to turn into a god." ”

"Ah this," Nangong Yongchang didn't know why: "Isn't what my generation of cultivators want all their lives to break through to a higher realm?" What a senior, suddenly."

Chengsheng looked at Nangong Yongchang and said, "Nangong Daoyou, your actual age should be older than me, so I'll ask you." ”

"If you have to sacrifice a lot of people in order to become a god, and even some of them you know, are you still willing to become a god?"

"Naturally, I don't want to." Nangong Yongchang is a Yuanying monk who has lived for more than nine hundred years.

Without thinking about it at the moment, he replied: "My Nangong Yongchang has lived for almost a thousand years, and there are hundreds of children and grandchildren on the Light Feather Star. ”

"There are tens of thousands of friends I know, as well as the descendants of old friends."

"So if the price of becoming a god is that I have to sacrifice these people, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to do it."

"This kind of transformation god, even if it succeeds, will leave a knot in my heart in the future, and this knot will affect my Dao heart, and even torture me until I die."

"It's not worth it! It's not worth it! ”

Nangong Yongchang said, and suddenly smiled: "All in all, my predecessors only lived for more than a hundred years to figure it out, how could I not understand it when I was more than a thousand years old?" ”

"Reasonable!"

This conversation with Nangong Yongchang made Cheng Huo only feel his thoughts.

In this moment, he felt as if he had grasped something terrible.

But because this feeling is too ethereal, I can't say exactly what I have grasped, and I can't say it clearly.

As if muttering to himself, he said, "In fact, no matter what kind of cultivation path you take, what you pay attention to is nothing more than an enlightenment word. ”

"I have a vague feeling: it seems that if you don't take the road of 'turning gods into mortals' and 'turning gods into gods', you can also achieve the road and break through to the stage of transforming gods."

"The most important thing in the so-called cultivation lies in the practitioner himself."

"'Turning God into Mortal'?" Turning God into God'? If he survived, Nangong Yongchang felt unclear again.

He couldn't help but say, "What do the predecessors just say by 'turning into gods' and 'turning into mortals' mean?" ”

"It's just two outdated cultivation methods." After casually replying, Cheng Huo jumped on the giant centipede that Nangong Yongchang and the others were riding when they came, and said with a smile: "Let's go!" Take me to the Heavenly Gate Station. ”
