Jiang Guang's words put forward an opinion that was completely different from that of Old Man Bailu, but Old Man Bailu was not angry, the reason why he held this gathering was to discuss the true meaning of cultivation with others.

"Jiang Xiaoyou, are you saying that immortality is not the ultimate avenue pursued by cultivators? Then do you know that although there are few sword saints and fist saints in this world, they are not nothing, they have already understood the way of swordsmen and fists, but they still have not obtained immortality. As strong as Emperor Haotian and Dao Ancestor, it can be said that it is the ultimate of the Dao, and there is still no immortality, is immortality not the ultimate of the Dao?" Fujiyama Majin obviously disagreed with Jiang Guang's point of view.

"Of course not, I have never realized the true way, and I am at a loss for eternity. It is said that this is the Dharma passed down by the Dao Ancestor, and it is obvious that the Dao Ancestor has come a long way on the road to immortality, but he still has not touched the ultimate of the 'Dao'. In my opinion, immortality is just to gain more time to explore the ultimate of the 'Dao', and if you only pursue immortality, but do not pursue the Dao, you are just putting the cart before the horse. Although Jiang Guang is young, he has his own views on cultivation.

Ma Xie listened carefully to Jiang Guang's words, and thought that what Jiang Guang said did have some truth, but it was still narrow-minded.

No one has ever said that "immortality" is the ultimate goal of the Tao, but in the process of cultivation, the life span of practitioners continues to increase, and "immortality" is the ideal pursued by all human beings.

There are many practitioners of the concept of "Old Man Bailu" and "Mato Fujiyama", who never seek to obtain stronger "force", rarely fight and fight, and what they pursue is a long life until "eternal life".

The old man Bailu expounded his point of view, the meaning of the existence of "force" is just for "survival", and "force" is the goal to pursue, and it is obviously ridiculous to get the name of "invincible in the world".

"When you reach the Jiedan realm, few people dare to say that they are 'invincible at the same level', because the enlightened paths are different, each has its own strengths, and each has its own restraint. 'Force' is just a way to measure the results of a practitioner's practice. The old man Bailu said slowly: "Some cultivators focus on cultivating the path of 'life', such as those immortal doctors in the Valley of Hatred, with a raise of their hands, they can treat any disease in the world, no matter how many injuries they have, they can treat it, isn't this a realm?"

Jiang Guang didn't refute, obviously he was also thinking about what Old Man Bailu said.

There was a lot of discussion on this issue, and these practitioners were extremely intelligent people who already had their own opinions on the practice.

Most people agree with the old man Bailu's view that cultivation is to achieve immortality, but some people put forward different opinions, thinking that cultivation is to be invincible in the world and to become unparalleled in the world.

There are also people who believe that the purpose of cultivation is to achieve the unity of nature and man, to be one with nature, and ultimately to make all things live in harmony.

There are also those who believe that cultivation is all about evolution, so that human beings can eventually evolve from a mortal to a new kind of life.

"I've heard the saying that the dragon is the ultimate of the Tao. That is the most perfect life form, the most powerful life form, and all living beings can eventually evolve into 'dragons', and this is the ultimate level of cultivation. A man in black said that his name was Yuan Yu and that he was a cultivator from Luzhou.

Ma Xie also expressed his opinion, in his opinion, the meaning of cultivation is to pursue one's own limits.

Whether it is the limit of the physical body or the limit of the spirit, there is no one standard by which a practitioner can be measured.

"On my way here, I met a brave man. Ma Xie told the story of the climber to the crowd: "I think he is a great cultivator, a truly strong man, who breaks through the shackles of the race, the body and the spirit, and does the impossible to achieve. ”

The story of Ma Xie has attracted the attention of many people, and they are all pondering, such a mortal, but can overcome the obstacles of heaven and earth and climb a majestic peak, isn't this a strong person, isn't this a great practice?

"A mortal is a mortal after all, and no matter how hard he tries, it is only in vain. Dou is just a mortal who thinks that climbing that mountain is a conquest, and I can raze it to the ground. No matter how hard an ant tries, it can't soar in the sky, but we cultivators can easily break through this limitation and continue to evolve upward, this is the most essential difference between us and mortals!" Chen Qianshan said: "Cultivators, you must have the arrogance of a cultivator! A mortal can shock you, so you can see that you are nothing more than that." ”

Chen Qianshan made a sarcastic remark about Ma Xie, he was born in a family of cultivators since he was a child, how could he admire a mortal?

Ma Xie looked at Chen Qianshan with a contemptuous gaze and said: "Ridiculous, for you, can leveling a mountain give you a sense of accomplishment? Do the unfeasible, you are a strong person, people like you, will never understand what is called 'challenge'!"

"Oh, then I want to know, what is a challenge, after the party, dare to fight with me?" Chen Qianshan wrote a war letter to Ma Xie.

"Why don't you dare. "Ma Xie has long wanted to compete with many masters, after all, only in the constant battle will he find his shortcomings.

Everyone had their own opinions on the path of cultivation, and there were many disputes, but because this was a gathering initiated by the old man Bailu, there was no major problem.

In the face of these back-backed talents, Old Man Bailu and Fujiyama Majin answered many of their questions about cultivation, especially those that should be paid attention to in the later stage of the Qi Refining Realm.

"Physical and mental strength should be equally valued. Although many cultivators claim that spiritual power is only an auxiliary and is only to better control the aura, when you reach the Jiedan realm, you will find that cultivators with strong spiritual power are better at deduction, and they can realize the Dao in meditation. The old man Bailu said: "I suggest that when you are raising your realm, you must not neglect the cultivation of spiritual power. ”

"Knowing the sea is the most wonderful part of the human body, many mysteries even the strong people of the Jindan realm have not completely figured out, it is said that the sea of knowledge hides the secret of human beings becoming 'immortals'. Tengshan Zhenren also said: "Dantian and Zhihai are the places where cultivators are distinguished from mortals, and it is likely that the secret of immortality is hidden in them. ”

Whether it is the old man Bailu or the real person of Fujiyama, all they are interested in is immortality.

How to extend their lives as much as possible is the goal they pursue.

At the party, the old man Bailu also said a lot of his health preservation experience, which benefited Ma Xie a lot.

He had never thought about cultivation from the perspective of "immortality".

For a long time, he always believed that cultivation was to constantly break through one's own limits and enhance one's physical and spiritual strength, as long as he practiced step by step according to the exercises.

However, according to the old man Bailu, the body is like a piece of ore, and different exercises will shape the body into different forms.

Some forms are suitable for fighting, when their bodies can output a great deal of energy, while others are suitable for immortality, because their bodies can be maintained with minimal exertion.

Practitioners should consciously transform their bodies so that they can operate with minimal wear and tear, but can output maximum energy at critical moments.

"Doesn't that sound incredible? But I want to tell you, there are a lot of practitioners like that. They are usually like a rock, their bodies hardly consume any energy, but when they fight, they can instantly burst out of combat power, as cultivators of the Yudan Realm, this is almost an ability they must master. Old Man Bailu said.

The great power of a cultivator's physical body also means that they carry an astonishing burden, and even if they don't do anything on weekdays, their body consumes far more energy than mortals.

Therefore, the pursuit of a cultivator like the old man Bailu is to minimize this kind of loss, so as to ensure the long-term operation of the body and the functions of knowing the sea, so as to achieve the purpose of prolonging life.

Ma Xie still didn't think much of this way of cultivating in his heart, and he couldn't help but think of a creature—a tortoise.

Of course, he just thought about it this way, and there was no disrespect in it.

Every practitioner has his own way, and he doesn't refute it, he just doesn't agree with it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please take a look at the atonement ceremony that the old man has prepared for you this time. The old man Bailu nodded to Ling Yan'er.

Ling Yan'er flew up gently, starting from the first position, and visited a jade bottle in front of everyone.

"Because of the retreat, the family teacher can't make arrangements in advance, so he didn't greet you well, and specially prepared a small gift as an apology, which everyone who came to the Hanging Mountain today can receive it. "Ling Yan'er's voice is crisp and moving, which makes people feel refreshed.

At the same time, cultivators in the middle and lower areas of the Hanging Mountain also received gifts.

From the very beginning, they could see the scene on the upper level and hear the sermon of the master of the Hanging Mountain.

Everyone looked at the jade bottle in front of them, waiting for the old man Bailu to explain what was here.

"Fellow Daoists. The voice of the old man Bailu spread throughout the entire Hanging Mountain: "Please open the jade bottle in front of you." ”

Ma Xie picked up the jade bottle and opened the jade bottle according to what the old man Bailu said, only to see that there seemed to be a white substance inside.

However, this white substance did not emit the slightest aura, not even the slightest energy fluctuation.

"Do you know what's going on here?" asked Old Man Bailu.

"There weren't any fluctuations in energy, but it was clear that it wasn't anything ordinary. Chen Qianshan said.

"Nonsense, could it be that the Hanging Mountain will entertain you with royal jelly?" Xie Shuwen said-for-tat.

Chen Qianshan was squeezed and had nothing to say, he really didn't see the subtlety of this.

At this time, a woman who had been silent spoke up, she looked very ordinary, and Ma Xie never noticed this woman named An Pingdan.

She picked up the jade bottle and said, "This thing doesn't have any energy fluctuations, it looks like a mortal thing, but it's quite heavy. We are all cultivators, and we can actually feel the precise weight of this thing, but we must have overlooked it, this thing is too heavy for mortals, and the contents of a small bottle that is less than the size of a palm weigh fifty pounds, is there such a thing in the mortal world?"
