Volume 1: Rise Chapter 8: Past and Future

In the 54th year of the new calendar of the mainland, the eighth day of the ninth month, later generations called this day: the birthday of the immortals.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone over the fields on the edge of the Devil's Descending Mountains. "Yang boy, how can I say that I am also a senior who has practiced for more than 300 years, you can't let me do it, you have to argue with me, you don't know how to respect the old at all. After Ding Qing failed to gain the upper hand in several verbal confrontations with Yang Qi, he finally used his ultimate trick to "sell the old". "Oh, use this trick again, or why don't I look down on you, you have practiced for more than 300 years, and your cultivation is not as high as mine, and if you can't argue with others, you don't have any new tricks?" Yang Qi replied sarcastically. Ding Qing was glared at angrily, and inadvertently caught a glimpse of Guo Zheng who was entering the meditation out of the corner of his eye, and said with an idea: "Guo Zheng, this kid is too, the dean didn't say that he came to ask for peace, what's the matter with him?"

Sure enough, as soon as Guo Zheng was mentioned, Yang Qi fell into silence, and his domineering aura instantly converged. "What's wrong?Is there anything wrong with Guo Zheng?" Ding Qing faced this sudden silence, and also realized that the situation seemed to be a little serious, when he arrived, Yang Qi's catastrophe had ended, and he didn't see the last Chaos Divine Thunder, naturally he didn't know that Guo Zheng's Yuan Infant was more than eighty percent lost, and his body was also injured a lot, although Yang Qi did not feel senseless guilt because of this, but he still inevitably had some worries in his heart. Lu Zhihan naturally knew Yang Qi's thoughts, walked up to Yang Qi, wrapped his arms around his hands, and rested his head on his shoulder: "Brother Qi, Ah Zheng will be fine." ”。

"What happened just now? I felt a palpitating Tianwei in the academy, so I hurried here, didn't you break through the realm? Why did Guo Zheng have a problem?" Ding Qing put away his joking mood and asked very seriously.

"It's me who broke through the realm, hey, ......" Yang Qi sighed lightly, and his whole person became very serious: "The breakthrough was successful, do you know what name I gave to this new layer of realm?" The tone of questioning at any time, but without waiting for Ding Qing to answer, he continued to take care of himself: "Crossing the tribulation period! If it weren't for Guo Zheng, then I would be dead and lifeless. Speaking of this, Yang Qi glanced up at the sky, and then looked down at his beloved who was snuggling up to him: "Since I have survived this catastrophe, I will naturally not let Ah Zheng have anything to do, what I am worried about is that he has lost eighty percent of the Yuan Infant in order to help me survive the catastrophe this time, and you also know that his Yuan Infant is different from ordinary people, and it may not be so easy to recover." ”

Turning his head to look at the old man with white hair, he didn't really look down on Ding Qing, on the contrary, this old man was one of the few people he respected from the bottom of his heart, don't look at him and Ding Qing noisy, he couldn't see a trace of respect, if he really couldn't see the person, he didn't even owe a polite word. "It's just that you're here, otherwise I'll go to you after I go back, about the new layer of realm-related breaking feelings, I'll tell you directly, the senators' side, it's up to you to relay it, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with them." ”

"No problem, I'll arrange for the students to stay overnight first, and then you can talk to me well. Ding Qing also knew Yang Qi's temper, if he was asked to go to the Senate to explain this matter, I am afraid that he would have to fight first. Turning to a few young people who were doing nothing, he said, "What are you little ones waiting for? Why don't you hurry up and prepare for camping when it's dark?" Do you want me, an old man, to help you?"

In the eyes of Lin Ruo and the other students, the image of this dean who is high in the academy has completely collapsed, and which senior master would quarrel with others like a child? Despite this, after hearing the old man's instructions, Huang Lu immediately began to prepare to cast a spell to build a house, and Lin Ruo was also ready to assist from the side, who knew that there was a shout from the dean: "Ah? Huang Lu looked up at the dean suspiciously, and his expression was: Hasn't camping always been like this?" It seems that there is indeed a big problem in the teaching of the academy, as a monk, as long as you can preliminarily complete the introduction of heaven and earth vitality into the body, you are already not afraid of wind and frost, this is not in the academy, where is there so much exquisiteness, just clean up a flat place, set up a campfire, every day to build a house and demolish the house, how much time is wasted invisibly?

The education received in the academy has always been decent, and a few people still can't turn around for a while, but Zhang Qian can't see it, and fights for a few friends: "Hmph, isn't the academy just a rigid dogma? Let the students obey the words of Mr. Academy, don't say that they contradict Mr., even if they doubt Mr. 's words, it will be considered a big rebellion, how can you expect them to grow up in such an environment?"

"Well, there is some truth to it, you are not much older than a few of them? You are doing quite well, I wonder who you come from? It seems that your husband is a master who can teach such an eclectic student as you. Ding Qing was robbed of white for a while, he was not annoyed and angry, and he also recognized Zhang Qian's words, he admired this girl a little.

"My master is naturally the best gentleman in the world, she is the gentlest person in the world, she never loses her temper with me, even if I make mistakes, she will be very patient to reason with me, so that she will only stop things simply and rudely like the faculty of the academy. I also respect my master very much, but it's definitely not because of the so-called respect for the master, but because my master really deserves my respect, hey, anyway, my master is the best! I told you, you don't understand......" Zhang Qian said while secretly looking at the master who was snuggling next to Yang Qi, she always felt that no one in this world was worthy of the master, and she really couldn't understand what was good about Yang Qi, and the master actually liked such a rough person.

Following Zhang Qian's gaze, Ding Qing knew her teacher's inheritance, and smiled knowingly: "It turned out to be the apprentice taught by Zhihan, little girl, your luck is really good, your master is indeed the gentlest person in the world, I don't know how many young talents fell in love with your master at first sight, if it weren't for the old man, I am a lot older, I am afraid I will also fall for your master." ”

Listening to this old and young conversation, Lin Ruo, Bai Feng, Murong, Huang Lu, and Li Dan were thoughtful, they envied Zhang Qian from the beginning for having a good master, and began to reflect on what they did in the academy, and the education they received since childhood made them gradually lose the courage to refute Mr. If I had bravely spoken out the doubts in my heart at that time, what would have been the result? Will I still have to obey my husband's words on my future cultivation path? They began to recall the 30 days of experience, Mr. Guo rarely took the initiative to ask them what to ask, many times they asked, Mr. Guo would give guidance and advice, never forced to ask them how they must be, they made mistakes, Mr. Guo will also be very patient to reason with them, this will have Li Dan dare to say to Mr. Guo is a contradictory words, if it is a faculty member of the college, in the face of the confrontation of the students, most of them will only say coldly: Mr. does this for its own reason, you don't understand now because you are still young, and when you grow up, you will naturally understand。

Looking at the few young men and women who were in deep thought, Ding Qing cleaned up a vacant lot between several people, set up a campfire in the middle of the clearing, beckoned a few students to come to the campfire, and said to a few people with a smile: "Have you started to learn to reflect? This is a good thing, but don't overdo it." Several of you have broken through to the foundation building period, and you will be promoted to the intermediate class after you go back, you still have to listen to the words of the gentleman, after all, they are the pioneers on the path of cultivation, not to mention anything else, in terms of knowledge alone, it is still much richer than you, and if you have any questions in the learning process in the future, you can also directly raise them, if your husband can't give you a satisfactory answer, you can come directly to me, and I will answer for you. What have you gained from this experience other than breaking through the realm? Now do you know what is the most important thing in the matter of cultivation? Reflection is also a kind of practice. After speaking, leaving a few young men and women in contemplation, Ding Qing got up to find Yang Qi, thinking: The small problem is like this for the time being, and the big one here is really troublesome.

Looking at Ding Qing who came over, Yang Qi made a gesture of please and sat cross-legged on the ground casually, Lu Zhihan also sat down with him, Ding Qing did not sit down on the opposite side immediately, first gave a solemn salute to Yang Qi, made a gesture of please to Yang Qi, and then sat cross-legged opposite.

"I am accepting this gift from you on behalf of Guo, if it weren't for him this time, I would already be a dead man. This time the realm was broken, the sky fell thunder, a total of nine times, according to the order of falling: Shenmu Thunder, Shenhuo Thunder, Shenjin Thunder, Shenshui Thunder, Shentu Thunder, Yin Thunder, Yang Thunder, Demon Exterminator Thunder and Chaos Divine Thunder, Five Elements Divine Thunder and Yin Yang Divine Thunder are all aimed at the same system of power in the physical body, and after being dispersed, they are integrated into the Dharma Body, and the Demon Exterminating God Thunder is aimed at the demonic energy that has been suppressed during the various demon calamities experienced in the cultivation process, after the Demon Exterminating God Thunder, the physical body does not exist, only the Dharma Body remains, and the true body has been basically achieved at this step, and the last Chaos Divine Thunder is the last step in refining the true body。 Speaking of this, Yang Qi sighed lightly, and his heart palpitated.

"In this case, if all the Merge Stage cultivators on the continent want to survive this last Chaos Divine Thunder, in your opinion, how many people from the same realm will be needed to assist them?" Ding Qing asked a question that was crucial to the cultivators of the entire continent.

"I haven't been in contact with the outside world for almost thirty years, and I can't say what the current situation is, but if you look at the situation on the mainland twenty-five years ago, if you want to survive this last Chaos Divine Thunder, it's no show, it's not a matter of how many people there are, and the quality of the True Yuan is not up to par. You don't want to think about it, what is the level of my true yuan? Guo Zheng's perverted yuan baby, haven't you seen it? With the degree of condensation of our true yuan, it is only just able to be on par with the Chaos Divine Thunder, and in the general merger period, the true yuan is loose and collapsed, and no matter how much it is, it is vulnerable in front of the Chaos Divine Thunder, and the name Chaos Divine Thunder is not given casually, it really contains the power of chaos. Yang Qi expressed his consistent disdain for cultivators on the mainland.

"Then it seems that in the future, the cultivation direction of the entire mainland human race will change, and the current teaching system will also be reformed, your breakthrough is not only to bring new hope, but also to bring an opportunity, thirty years ago you proposed a set of cultivation system, but it was not verified at that time, the Senate did not agree to your proposal, at most it is a little conservative, after going back, I will inform the Senate of the relevant information about the Tribulation Period, and at the same time, I will also put forward your practice system again, if they still don't agree this time, then they are really as you said: Eating the ancients is not changing, and the stubbornness is not working。 Ding Qing's face was a little ugly, he was also very optimistic about Yang Qi's proposal thirty years ago, but unfortunately the Senate did not adopt it, which made Yang Qi challenge everywhere, hoping to use his undefeated record to attract the attention of the Senate, not only did not get the recognition of the Senate, but was also crowned with an "anti-peace" hat. It is true that the mainland has been peaceful for a long time, and the latest war can be traced back to the battle of the three clans launched by the human race, the demon race and the spirit race in order to seize the resources of the continent more than a thousand years ago, although the casualties of the various races are not very many, but it is a real battle, which lasted for three months before it was stopped by the senators, the continent is vast, rich in materials, and the war is really unnecessary, but since then, the various races on the mainland have also lost their positive and enterprising hearts.

This old man who has practiced for three hundred years has a deep understanding of the disadvantages of the current cultivation system, many of the techniques are flashy, used to compare skills, and the ornamental nature is not said, but if it is really a fight to the death, there is no merit at all, he also knew that this was not good before, but there were no examples to support his point of view, and the appearance of the tribulation period gave the old man inspiration. All ethnic groups on the mainland coexist peacefully and avoid internal friction, so what is the use of learning actual combat? Now it can be very clear: Fight with the sky.

"Since you have this heart, then the "Five Elements Escape Law" I wrote can also be handed over to you to promote, originally this matter still needs Guo Zheng's labor, but his weight on the side of the Senate is definitely far inferior to yours, and you will take the lead, I believe it will be much less difficult to promote. If you want me to say, you don't want to be the dean of the academy anymore, you can have joined the Senate a long time ago, you have to do some practical affairs, you joined the Senate earlier, how good is it to outline the outline? If you become the dean of an academy, even if you bring out a few outstanding students, what can you do? Can it still make a greater contribution than you make the Senate make changes? You must know that a small change in the Senate is enough to affect the entire continent, and quantitative changes produce qualitative changes, you don't understand this truth?" Yang Qi seemed to be unkind to this old man, but in fact, he was really planning for the mainland, and the reason why the old man did not join the Senate was also because he was not used to the consistent style of the Senate.

"If what you say is reasonable this time, then I'll have an old man talk about juvenile madness. Although I don't know why you have been in hiding for the past twenty-five years, but now you should be born, with your and Zhihan's qualifications, it is enough to join the Senate, one more person has more strength, although I agreed to your proposal to promote teaching reform, but you can't help but contribute, the three of us are in the Senate, and there will be much less resistance to promoting. Ding Qing looked at Yang Qi playfully.

"As for the reason why I can't go into hiding, it's not that I don't want to, but I can't, now that the problem has been solved, I naturally won't live in seclusion anymore, and there shouldn't be any resistance to joining the Senate, after all, it's the first period of tribulation. However, if Guo Zheng used to promote the "Five Elements Escape Law", then it was up to him to take whatever name he wanted, and now since we are here to do this, it can't be cheap Those veterans, I want to rename this book "Qimen Escape Law", so that once it is promoted, it is equivalent to slapping the face of the senators, and I am happy to think about it. Yang Qi said with a bad taste.

"It's time for the lifeless Senate to inject some fresh blood, otherwise how to fight with this heaven? But these are all later words, you now carefully tell me your understanding of the tribulation, I will make a draft first, this will become the most important basis for us to pry the Senate. Ding Qing said firmly.

There is a moon and no stars in the night sky of the mainland, and the old dean is quietly listening to Yang Qi tell about the understanding of the tribulation, according to Yang Qi's guess, most people can spend the Five Elements Divine Thunder safely; the Yin and Yang Divine Thunder varies from person to person, based on the amount of Yin and Yang power contained in the individual's body; the Demon Exterminating Divine Thunder is not so much a calamity, but rather to cast a flawless true body to get rid of the demonic qi; as for the last Chaos Divine Thunder, it is the last calamity of the true body, without the baptism of the Chaos Divine Thunder, it is impossible to transform its own true element, and it is impossible to achieve the true body .......

Guo Zheng is still in the middle of the settled, Lu Zhihan just sat quietly beside Yang Qi and listened, Yang Qi and Ding Qing began to discuss the reform of the cultivation system after discussing the understanding related to the Tribulation Period, the current situation in the mainland is stable and stable, but it lacks the spirit of forging ahead, and the progress is extremely slow, if it is not for a Yang Qi, I believe that the emergence of the Tribulation Period will be delayed for at least five hundred years.

While Ding Qing was discussing with Yang Qi, his eyes would occasionally fall on the six young men and women next to the campfire, and when he saw a few of them pondering, communicating, or cultivating alone, the old man's face would always unconsciously put a smile on his face.

On this night, on the edge of the Demon Descending Mountain Range, gathered Ding Qing, a figure of the older generation of the mainland, Yang Qi, Guo Zheng, Lu Zhihan, and six teenagers representing the future of the mainland, Lin Ruo, Zhang Qian, Bai Feng, Huang Lu, Murong, and Li Dan.
