Chapter 679: The Five Decays of Heaven and Man
The advancement of a monk is nothing more than comprehending the laws of the Heavenly Dao and constantly accumulating immortal spiritual power, both of which are indispensable.
And if you want to comprehend the laws of the Heavenly Dao, although most of the time you need to be alone behind closed doors, sometimes you have to brainstorm and study together with friends.
Every once in a while, Qin Di would summon the spirits of the four immortal trees to evolve the laws of the Heavenly Dao with him.
His body contains the law seed given by the wood god Jumang, and it is stimulated by the wood qi of the four immortal trees, so it can sprout and grow quickly, in this process of evolving the Heavenly Dao, not only does it have great benefits for himself, but even the four immortal trees follow the benefits.
And every three years, his doppelganger Qin Mu has to take a few disciples and directly teleport to the Qingdi Palace, one to meet the palace master Fengyin and the three Supreme Elders, and the other to find someone to exchange insights about the laws of the Heavenly Dao.
The best thing about the Qingdi Palace is that there are many monks.
In the newly opened Pavilion of Enlightenment, there are not only many single rooms for monks to meditate and meditate on the way of heaven, but also some relatively large rooms, like conference rooms, for many people to gather together to study together.
Everyone has a different opinion about the same Mu Xin.
Sometimes, a veteran immortal may gather a group of listeners and explain his feelings about one of Mu Xin.
Mu Xin can also be lent out and placed in front of everyone's eyes, so it is more intuitive to discuss it like this.
The speaker pointed to Mu Xin while telling his findings, while the people below kept asking questions. In this way, teaching and learning are mutually beneficial, brainstorming, and everyone has gained.
Therefore, Qin Di often led a few disciples over to exchange and study. Although what the main lecturers said may not be correct, they can also enlighten him, and after returning to continue to ponder the deeper problems, he will often gain greater benefits.
In addition, Qin Di also had to go to the Library Pavilion to look through the formation refining records of his predecessors Immortal Array Master, so as to improve his formation cultivation.
On this day, he had just walked out of the library and met an old fairy with gray hair.
The man's face was wrinkled, he looked very old, unkempt, and his skin had become dry and lacklustre.
Qin Di was a little surprised when he saw it, because for a spirit immortal, very few people would show this appearance, unless their cultivation encountered obstacles and the five decays of heaven and man began to appear, they would show such a appearance.
The so-called five decays of heaven and man are divided into the big five decays and the small five decays.
The Great Five Decays can only occur in Heavenly Immortals and Ancestral Immortals, and almost everyone has to go through them, and only by passing through the Five Decays of Heaven and Man can they advance to Golden Immortals.
The small five decays are relatively rare, mainly occurring in the immortal stage, either the lifespan of the immortal spirit power is exhausted, or the madness of the fairy spirit power disorder.
For ordinary monks, if there is a Heavenly and Human Five Decays, it will definitely be closed and endure alone, and it is rare to see such a scene as the old spirit fairy in front of him still walking outside.
Therefore, Qin Di couldn't help but glance at this person twice.
Who knew that this person suddenly spoke: "It's Senior Brother Qin Mu on the other side?"
Qin Di was a little surprised, and said, "It's here, who is the senior brother?"
The old spirit fairy looked at Qin Di with dim eyes, a smile appeared on his face, and said: "I am Gongshu, after I went out of the customs today, I learned about the feat of my junior brother from the palace master, so I came to pay a visit." ”
Qin Di was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Ah, it turned out to be Senior Brother Gongshu! I have long wanted to meet Senior Brother, and I am very happy to see him today." ”
The smile on Gong Shu's face became even bigger, and the wrinkles on his face seemed to have faded a lot, and he took Qin Di's hand and said, "Senior Brother Qin, can you come to my cave mansion to sit, let's have a good chat, I have some doubts, just ask you for advice." ”
"Senior brother is too humble, I have been cultivating for a short time, and there are many things I don't understand, so I have always wanted to discuss with my senior brother. ”
So, Qin Di followed the other party and came to a mountain peak far away from Qingyao Peak.
This mountain peak is not tall, and the aura is still relatively rich, but unfortunately the flowers and trees are a little decayed, and it is obvious that the palace art as the master has no intention of taking care of it. Or, the small five-decay aura on his body was released, affecting these flowers and trees.
The two sat down in the peak immortal palace, and after a few words of greeting, they began to exchange formations.
Qin Di's array foundation is mainly based on the Taoist system passed down by Liu Huayang, and he has not yet fully comprehended the inheritance of the Qing Emperor. And what Gongshu has been learning is the formation left by the Qingdi, who has been immersed in it for many years and has a deep understanding. So the two of them can have such an opportunity to communicate, and they are very happy with each other.
After a long while, Qin Di couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Gong, are you in any trouble, why do you look so old?"
Gong Shu sighed and said, "Alas, Senior Brother won't hide it from you, my life is coming to an end." ”
There is also a lifespan limit for the immortals. The lifespan of a monk is related to the cultivation realm, even if it is also a spirit immortal, there is still a long way to go between the life span of the first order of the spirit immortal and the ninth order of the spirit immortal. Therefore, the monk is always fighting for his life, just like a tengu chasing after him, and if he runs slowly, he will be swallowed by the years.
"My favorite is the Formation Path, so I spend most of my time studying the Immortal Formation. The laws of heaven and earth that I have comprehended are enough, but the immortal spirit power accumulated in my body is insufficient, and the previous foundation has not been laid, so it has become more and more difficult in the future, and it has finally reached the point where it is now. ”
Qin Di asked, "Senior brother has taken the longevity pill?"
"That's nature. After all, I am a fourth-order immortal array master, and I am also an important person in the Blue Emperor Palace, so I have eaten all the Shou Dan that I can eat. ”
Qin Di thought for a moment and said, "What level of elixir is Senior Brother eating?"
Gong Shu replied: "I have eaten the third and fourth orders, and it will not have much effect if I eat it again." ”
"How long can Senior Brother last?"
Gong Shu smiled: "I won't die in three thousand years." "The lifespan of a spirit immortal is extremely long, and even if it dies, it won't die so quickly.
Qin Di breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said, "Senior brother, don't worry, I have a brother who is good at alchemy, and when I meet him, let him refine a furnace of fifth-order elixir, and let my senior brother continue to prolong his life." ”
Gong Shu glanced at him in surprise and said, "Your brother can refine the fifth-order elixir? That's amazing! There are only a handful of people in the entire spirit world who can refine the fifth-order elixir! If there is a fifth-order elixir, maybe there will be a turnaround." Thank you, junior brother, no matter what kind of fairy grass I need, I can go to the palace and ask for it. ”
Qin Di said: "The immortal grass required by Shou Dan is different, my brother once left a list, senior brother, you take it and take a look, if you can get together the immortal grass, I will let him help you refine it." As he spoke, he moved his senses, listed the materials needed for Shou Dan in the jade slip, and then handed them to Gong Shu.
Gong Shu took it and glanced at it, and said solemnly: "I will go to ask the palace master tomorrow." The most in the Qingdi Palace is the fairy grass, but unfortunately there are not many high-level Dan masters, and at this point, it is not as good as the inheritance left by the Red Emperor Shennong. ”
