Chapter 36: The Fool
The old monk thought for a while and said, "In the past, it was easy for you to become the head of the sword in the world, but now it is difficult to become the head of the sword in the world. ”
Ding Ning nodded, he could understand what the old monk meant.
However, the old monk was afraid that Ding Ning would misunderstand what he meant, and said, "It's not that you need to regain cultivation now, but many cultivators are ahead of you, the key is that you have truly created an era." You and the Bashan Sword Field have greatly advanced the realm of the entire cultivator world by a large step. ”
The old monk's truth is very big, but the reality is very simple.
Just like a sect, there are all cultivators from the four realms and five realms, and there are almost no cultivators from the six realms and seven realms, but suddenly a group of masters from the seven realms appear, and the overall realm of this sect, including the cultivators of the five realms and the six realms, will naturally have a lot more in the next period.
As a matter of fact, a few outstanding grandmasters can often influence the rise and fall of an era.
Wang Jingmeng and the Bashan Sword Field rose strongly when the cultivator world was in decline, and the number of cultivators above the Six Realms and the Seven Realms was indeed very rare at that time, but now Ding Ning is in the era after the Bashan Sword Field, and many sects have risen, just like Ye Celeng's generation, many people who were deeply influenced by the Bashan Sword Field at that time have become grandmasters.
If there is a battle like that again many years later, facing more grandmasters, and there may even be new Eight Realms cultivators in addition to Yuan Wu, what kind of cultivation is needed to be able to truly win and become the true invincible that Ding Ning said at this moment?
This was a question that the old monk was extremely interested in, so he thought about it again and asked very respectfully, "Have you reached the realm of Yuanwu?"
"In the past, in Changling, I was between the Seven Realms and the Eighth Realm, and there were some things that I had some doubts about, and I didn't fully understand them, so I stayed between crossing and not crossing, and the cultivation realm was only slightly ahead of you now. Ding Ning looked at the old monk and said calmly: "Later, I was in Changling for more than ten years, repeating some of the paths I had walked, and even correcting some of the wrong links in my past practice, those are actually extremely simple, no need to spend any brains, thinking about the problem between the seven realms and the eight realms, at this time, if you talk about the realm, it is naturally a few steps higher than Yuan Wu." ”
The old monk was stunned, but laughed self-deprecatingly, "I'm confused, I still ask such a question, you were far ahead of Yuan Wu in the past, even if you let him practice for a few years, these ten years of cultivation, if you talk about the realm, you will naturally far surpass him." ”
Ding Ning looked at him and said seriously: "It's not enough to have a realm. ”
The old monk thought of the purpose of coming to this mountain, looked at the wooden staff in his hand again, and completely came to his senses, and said: "There are also bodies and instruments, and the accumulation of time." ”
Ding Ning also looked at the wooden staff in the old monk's hand.
The wooden staff had been washed away by blood a lot, and at this moment the dull light of the oil sludge on the surface had disappeared a lot, but a layer of amber bone luster was revealed inside.
Then he nodded and said nothing.
"I want to serve by your side. ”
The old monk bowed slightly, saluted Ding Ning with Changling etiquette, and said solemnly: "Only you in the world can have the possibility of becoming the head of the sword in the world." ”
His skin was purple and black, but when he said this, the skin on his body shone with a faint golden light against the sunlight.
Although the Heaven and Earth Vitality of the entire sky was extremely weak, it also naturally changed, and from time to time there were holy pillars of light that continued to fall from the sky.
In the ice cave in the distance, the general who stood like a ghost, quietly watching the old monk from afar, also had a shocked look in his eyes for the first time.
It was too far away, so he naturally couldn't hear the conversation between the old monk and Ding Ning and the others, and he didn't know where Ding Ning and the eldest grandson Qianxue were.
However, it was clear that after the old monk had killed the snow cavalry, he had a conversation with the young man.
With just a few words of dialogue, the old monk had an inexplicable enlightenment, and he was faintly about to break through the realm successfully, and he would take the last half step and truly enter the eight realms.
This general naturally understands that cultivators can change their appearance and even body posture, and looking young is not necessarily really young, but regardless of age, what kind of cultivator can form a powerful help for this ascetic monk to break through the realm with some words and deeds?
......
Ding Ning looked at the old monk calmly.
Many of his enemies hated his calmness, but they didn't know where his bearing came from.
The old monk had already spoken something similar to service before he set off, but he understood that the old monk's meaning was very different at this time.
The old monk was convinced that only he could truly surpass all the cultivators in the world and be truly invincible.
So at this time, his words are an oath.
He will serve left and right until Ding Ning reaches that state.
Such an oath means that in his next life, all the meaning is to protect Ding Ning to reach that realm.
That's the realm he can't reach, but he wants to see.
This is not difficult to understand for the eldest grandson Qianxue at this time.
The old monk pursues his life, just to see a higher realm, whether he has reached it or can witness others reach it.
This old monk is a true cultivator.
He was only worried that Ding Ning would not need him to serve by his side in the future.
The world is full of idiots.
The difference is all kinds of idiots.
Looking at the faint golden light that naturally flashed out of the old monk's skin, feeling that this was not the old monk's body overflowing, but the countless thin heaven and earth vitality gathered and collided with the light emitted by the surface of his body, the eldest grandson Qianxue took a deep breath and turned her head to look at Ding Ning: "So from the Seven Realms to the Eight Realms, the key to breaking through the realm is the same as the cultivation at the beginning, not to absorb, but to release?"
This is a rare opportunity, not only related to the cultivation of the old monk alone, but even for Ding Ning, it is an opportunity that he has never experienced, after all, in his cultivation experience, the last step of breaking through the Seven Realms and the Eight Realms is also because he has doubts and has not really stepped out.
At this time, the old monk was close to breaking the realm, which happened to be a kind of confirmation.
Therefore, Ding Ning was also very dignified, and said slowly: "It's about putting it, it's about not fixing it on your own body, not breaking it and not standing up." ”
These words were extremely mysterious to ordinary cultivators, but even the eldest grandson Qianxue was not far away from the Eight Realms, so she also understood.
"Scattering?" she frowned, and spat out two words very simply.
"The Seven Realms will eventually reach the Eight Realms, I'm afraid that's the case. If all cultivation is broken, the spiritual will and body are infinitely emptied, and new heavens and earths can naturally be introduced. Ding Ning looked at her and the old monk, and said bitterly: "I didn't figure it out in the past, one is that I am worried that this is a cycle that repeats itself. After all, although there are cultivators of the Eight Realms in the classics, and even mention the Nine Realms, no one in our era can really enter the Eight Realms, not even the cultivators of the generation before us, and no one has really witnessed it with their own eyes. Therefore, I suspect that this is like birth, old age, sickness and death, it is a natural cycle of cultivation to the end, and the eight realms of dispersal and re-cultivation. After all, many of the stories in the classics are also deceptive. There is also a point of doubt, that is, the true element can be dissipated, and the body can be emptied, but how can the spiritual will be emptied?"
The eldest grandson, Qianxue, listened carefully, and she had no doubts.
Because she knew very well that Wang Jingmeng back then could far surpass the cultivators of the current world, that is, he was too good at questioning and creating his own path. Facts have proved that the cultivation methods of many classics are not the best, and many truths and stories are indeed deceptive.
Ding Ning raised his head slightly, took a deep breath again, and said slowly: "Later, I thought clearly, the so-called release of spiritual will... It's the deepest obsession. Invisible things are like tangible things, and they have some kind of deepest obsession, but like the mind is not open enough, the spiritual will seems to shrink and condense into one point. Just as if the true element in our body is condensed at one point, the meridians in our body will be empty. ”
So many of the stories in the books are indeed deceptive. ”
The eldest grandson Qianxue understood thoroughly, and looked at Ding Ning, whose eyes and eyebrows were full of sadness and emotion, "So it is not the kind of cultivator who is particularly open-minded and cares about the common people in the world that can go from the seventh realm to the eighth realm, but it is a cultivator who is particularly obsessed with one point that can truly break through the seven realms and enter the eighth realm, and even an extremely narrow-minded villain." ”
"Quite simply, that's the ultimate truth. Ding Ning smiled bitterly, "Who can do it to achieve the ultimate benevolence and selflessness? But it is even simpler to achieve the ultimate stinginess, selfishness, and greed." ”
"There are no real benevolent people in the world, but there are real fools, no matter what they are obsessed with. Ding Ning looked at her and added.
"Let's go. ”
The eldest grandson Qianxue didn't say much, she nodded, and then said, "Next, I'll lead the way." ”
Ding Ning glanced at her in surprise.
The eldest grandson, Qianxue, said: "The glaciers here are eternal, and there will naturally be traces of the places where cultivators pass by, some of which are new and some of which are old. ”
Ding Ning was immediately relieved.
The Nine Nether King Sword and the Heaven and Earth Extreme Cold Yuan Qi have a natural sense, even if the traces of the movement of the great master of the Spirit Void Sword Sect in the past have long been covered by the wind and snow and the years, but the eldest grandson Qianxue said that if she can find it, then she will definitely be able to feel it.
For this army that exists inexplicably here, neither he nor the eldest grandson Qianxue are worried.
Regardless of whether the other party's target is the old monk or the sword, the other party goes first and they go first, and it will not change the strangulation itself.
The three of them set off.
The wooden staff was still in Ding Ning's hands.
The old monk is still at the forefront.
Although his most powerful perception was in his body, not between these ice and snow, his cultivation had reached the edge of the seventh and eighth realms, and the whole person was in an indescribable state, and it seemed that he could even sense the gaze and intention of the eldest grandson Qianxue.
So it still looks like he's leading the way.
The eldest grandson Qianxue can understand the pass of the Seven Realms and the Eight Realms, and when the True Yuan Cultivation reaches the final breakthrough, all he needs to look for is the obsession of breaking through the level like an opportunity, and for him, there are no absolute good people and bad people in the world, only people with different purposes for themselves.
