"Return to the ruins." Gu Xu said this word silently in his heart.
In all the Great Wilderness cultivation classics he has read, this word has never appeared before.
But the moment he heard it, he felt that it seemed to have a mysterious Taoist charm, which instantly cleared away some of the clouds in his heart and vaguely glimpsed some of the reality of the world.
"Is this what the upper realm says?" he asked the weapon spirit.
"So be it," Qi Ling replied, "There is "Yu Jing" in the upper realm, and "Guixu" in the lower realm. Yujing is the pinnacle of all things, and Guixu is the destination of all things.
"Whether you climb onto "Yu Jing" or step into "Guixu", you can reach the end of the avenue. "
"You mean," Gu Xu frowned slightly, ""Guixu" is not only a place name, but also a state of practice."
"As the emperor's heir, you , I don’t even know this.” The weapon spirit opened his eyes wide and looked at him with surprise.
Gu Xu shrugged and replied, "In our practice system, the highest state is called "the path to immortality." As long as you survive the catastrophe, you can ascend to the upper world and become an immortal immortal. .
"Of course, you should know that this is a scam."
"Haha, it is indeed a scam," Qi Ling chuckled, "that guy "Tai Shang Haotian", Even if you make up a lie, it won't stand up to scrutiny.
"The upper world and the lower world are two equal worlds. There is no distinction between high and low. How can there be talk of ascension"
"A level world"
p>"In the cultivation system of the upper realm, there are a total of nine realms," Qi Ling touched his chin and introduced to Gu Xu, "Their names are called "Yanshan Mountain" and "Weak Water River" , "Kunlun Hill", "Langfeng Peak", "Xuanpu Garden", "Tianyong City", "Qionghua Palace", "Nine Heavens Realm" and "Jade Capital".
"The nine realms in the lower realm are called "Guimen Pass", "Ruoshui River", "Naihe Bridge", "Wangxiang Terrace", "Meng Po Pavilion", "Fengdu Gate" and "Yam Luo Palace". , "Nine Nether Prison", "Return to Ruins".
"The names of these realms are different, and the true essence is different, but they are essentially the same, and the intensity can also be matched one by one.
"Like "Yu Jing" and " Only one person in each world can achieve the supreme state of "Return to the Ruins". Once you achieve this, you become the master of the world, able to formulate the rules of this world and manipulate the cause and effect of this world at will. ”
The realm of “returning to the ruins” does sound much more reasonable than the “path to immortality”.
Gu Xu thought silently.
The monks in the upper realm climbed up step by step along the Kunlun Heavenly Stairs, while the monks in the lower realm followed the road to the underworld and gradually descended deeper into the underworld.
Up to the capital of the Emperor of Heaven, the source of all changes in the universe.
Go down to the bottomless valley, where the waters gather.
Unconsciously, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he vaguely guessed something."Shang Haotian" and "Emperor Ziwei" parted ways and turned against each other in order to achieve this unique and supreme state."
"You are really smart, you are worthy of being my master," the weapon spirit said in a hypocritical compliment, and then Then he said, "You should know that the eighth realm is a very special realm because it is divided into nine small realms. There is the "Nine Heavens" in the upper realm and the "Nine Hells" in the lower realm.
"Back then, both "Tai Shang Haotian" and "Emperor Zi Wei" had reached the ninth level of the "Nine Heavens Realm", and they were just one step away from entering the "Jade Capital".
"But because only one person can achieve the realm of "Yu Jing".
"So they reached an agreement to find a new world where both of them would have the opportunity to be promoted.
"They traveled through the void and found the "underworld". This is the vast wilderness you are in.
"You may have guessed by now that the key to advancing to the realm of "Jade Capital" lies in the power of incense. After all, water can carry a boat and capsize it. If you want to control the rules of a world, you need to Gain heartfelt recognition from the creatures of this world.
"At that time, "Tai Shang Haotian" suddenly discovered that if he could obtain the power of incense from two worlds, then after he advanced to the realm of "Jade Capital", he would be better than relying on only one world.
The power of incense is even more powerful.
"So he chose to betray the agreement with "Emperor Ziwei".
"You should already know what happened next."
Gu Xu nodded.
"Then do you know that "Tai Shang Haotian" has now advanced to the realm of Yu Jing?" After a short silence, he asked again.
"I don't think so yet," Qi Ling thought for a moment and replied, ""Tai Shang Haotian" has always pursued perfection. Before taking back the incense of the entire wilderness, He should not easily try to break through. ”
At this point, he paused, stared into Gu Xu’s eyes and asked, “Do you know what your chances of winning against him are?”
“Where”
"You must reach the realm of "Return to the Ruins" with the help of the incense of the wilderness before "Tai Shang Haotian" ascends to "Yu Jing". ” Qi Ling said slowly and seriously.
"It took thousands of years for "Tai Shang Haotian" to reach the realm of "Jade Capital"," Gu Xu frowned and said, "I have only been practicing for about a year, you I think I can break through the realm faster than him."
"You are not an ordinary fourth-level monk," Qi Ling said with a smile, "You have the foundation left to you by "Emperor Ziwei."
""Tai Shang Haotian" spent a lot of effort, but could not completely erase the traces of the existence of "Emperor Ziwei". It could only make up a god with "one body and two sides" to seize it. The incense of "Emperor Ziwei".
"Besides, you are still the "God of Fire" in the eyes of the people of Youzhou.
"Looking at the entire wilderness, no one is more qualified than you to enter the "Return to Ruins" realm. ”
Gu Xu shook his head gently.
HeNow we not only have to prepare to deal with Emperor Tianxing, we also have to break through the situation quickly to deal with "Tai Shang Haotian".
He just felt a lot of pressure.
"Then do you know why I was able to obtain the authority of the "God of Fire"?" He thought for a while and then asked, "Is it because of the "Hui Lu" rune I once obtained?"
"You made this yourself, how do I know?" Qi Ling spread his hands and said, "Ask me, who should I ask?"
At this time, the boat was very close to the waterfall.
The smaller half of it hangs in the air.
Looking down, you can see the constantly evaporating water vapor and the deep, dark abyss that cannot be seen to the bottom at a glance.
Gu Xu took a deep breath.
He did not choose to fall with the boat, but jumped with the astrolabe in his arms.
Logically speaking, as a fourth-level monk, he has the ability to fly with a weapon. He can control the speed and fall slowly along the waterfall without worrying about falling to pieces.
But strangely, his ability to fly completely failed.
The valley below seemed to have an inexplicable gravitational pull, pulling him downwards at a constant speed.
He tried the "Wind Talisman" and the "Astrolabe" for short-distance teleportation, but he was unable to escape the free fall situation.
At this time, I saw the spirit of the weapon standing on the "astrolabe" against the roaring wind, chanting the words recorded in the ancient books: "Return to the ruins", the bottomless valley. . The water of the eight rivers and nine fields, the currents of heaven and man, are all poured into it, without increasing or decreasing.
"You have to know that the reason why you fall is not because of gravity, but because of the law, because it is the "result of all causes", the "place where all things come together", and it is the place where all living beings will inevitably fall. Arrive at the end point.
"Understand the profound meaning of the great road here, master. This is very important for your future advancement."
