I am a fairy

Chapter 296 Let’s Ascend to the Immortal Realm Together
Taoist Danhe held the jade sceptre in his hand, looking at the formation emanating from the Nine Cauldrons that enveloped the palace.

At the same time, he also saw the emperor Wen Ji being taken away by the dragon.

"The luck of the Nine Provinces turns into a real dragon."

"The emperor has returned to the Dragon Court."

The emperor had just passed away, and immediately the palace maids and eunuchs who were kneeling on both sides and on the ground took out the white silk and other things that had been prepared long ago. The majestic and luxurious palace immediately turned into a gloomy white.

The big bell in the distance rang continuously.

The eunuchs shouted loudly, spreading the news of the emperor's death far away. At this time, everyone in the imperial city knelt on the ground, but no one cried or wailed.

Everyone knew that the emperor had only died in his physical body and his soul had gone to the Dragon Palace. In a sense, this was even a happy event.

All the officials wore plain clothes and black gauze hats and came to pay homage to the new emperor.

But what is different from the past is that this time there is no city-wide ban on music, let alone a ban on marriage leave.

According to the late emperor's will, everything is going on as usual.

Afterwards, the new emperor ascended the throne and began to open the Nine Cauldrons to welcome the late emperor's spirit tablet into the Taimiao. This step was unprecedented in the previous dynasty.

Taoist Danhe was also present. This time he did not raise the jade sceptre, but directly saw the scene of the incense and dragon court.

Among the layers of ghosts and gods, he really saw the shadow of Wen Ji. The other party was wearing a dragon robe. Although he did not speak, he was shrouded in auspicious light of merit and virtue, looking majestic.

"Stepping into the Incense Dragon Court is another way of achieving immortality!"

Taoist Danhe let out a long sigh. This is the destination that many people are pursuing.

Taoist Danhe heard that the Dragon Court was different from ordinary spiritual realms and that those who lived there could be protected by the Nine Cauldrons Formation and the luck of the Nine Provinces True Dragon.

As long as the dynasty's fortune does not decline, it can be immortal like the people listed in the Book of Heaven.

Do not enter the cycle of reincarnation and do not fall into the evil path.

Make people envious.

But on second thought, this kind of immortality seems to have no way to last. How long can a dynasty last? It can't last for thousands or even tens of thousands of years!

One day the building will collapse, and you will leave and I will take the stage.

"wrong."

"As long as the dynasty collapses one day, everything will be blown away by the wind and rain, and immortality will be meaningless."

Even if it was the Wu Dynasty, Taoist Danhe did not think it could be maintained from generation to generation.

Thinking of this, Taoist Danhe felt that there was nothing to envy.

"Humanity, after all, will not last forever!"

"The only way to immortality is through the ways of gods and immortals!"

Although it had been decided long ago, the change of imperial power in the capital still caused a lot of turmoil, which gradually subsided until the following year.

In the blink of an eye, another year passed and Taoist Danhe grew a little older.

It was not until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, when the Donghuang Taiyi God was worshipped, that Taoist Jin'ao and his disciples came to the divine capital Luojing.

The palaces and temples built by Taoist Jin'ao in the south are becoming more and more grand, like fairy mountains. But when they arrive in the sacred capital Luojing, they find that the Taoist temple where Taoist Danhe lives is smaller and more ordinary than before.

Standing deep in an inconspicuous street in Luoyang, perhaps the only thing that can be talked about is that the National Master's Mansion and the Yunzhong Palace Temple are not far away.

If Taoist Jin'ao had not seen Taoist Danhe, he would not have believed that he lived in such a place.

There was nothing decorated in the Taoist temple. It was empty except for a picture on the wall of Yun Zhongjun riding a dragon and descending to the earth.

Taoist Danhe sat in the middle of the empty ground, facing the picture.

"Senior brother is here!"

When Taoist Jin'ao walked in and took a look, Danhe flicked his whisk, opened his eyes and said.

Upon seeing this, Jin Ao bowed to Dan He and said.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. Junior Brother He now looks even more like an immortal."

Dan He stroked his beard and said, "Brother, are you saying that I am older?"

Taoist Jin'ao just sat aside, without taking off the bamboo hat on his head, and just sat on the ground, exhausted.

He said, "You say you are old, but am I not older?"

Dan He looked at Jin Ao and said, "Brother, you look like a young man again. Not only do you not look older, but your eyes seem to be more lively."

After saying this, Taoist He looked at the bamboo hat.

It may seem ordinary at first glance, but Taoist Jin'ao carries it with him at all times and does not let anyone touch it.

Taoist Danhe also heard that Taoist Jinao had received a precious treasure from an immortal some years ago, but few people knew what the treasure looked like.

Now Dan He could tell at a glance that the so-called "treasure" must be this bamboo hat.

However, although Taoist He saw it, he did not say much.

He turned around again, facing the picture of Yun Zhongjun riding a dragon and meditating, and slowly closed his eyes.

Talking about the previous topic again, Taoist Jin'ao said that he had more of an immortal demeanor, and that was also the reason why he lived in such a simple place.

"The deeper my practice becomes, the more I realize that these external things are the source of my mental disturbance."

"The palaces are filled with carved beams and painted buildings, the clothes are too gorgeous, and there are too many objects and treasures, so the mind becomes more and more confused and chaotic."

"On the contrary, it is empty, and my heart is much calmer and more at ease. I can see through and understand many things more clearly."

Taoist Jin Ao didn't care: "If it's as you said, then the Immortal Palace, Heavenly Palace and Cave Heaven Blessed Land should be built smaller and more dilapidated."

Taoist Danhe said, "The immortals have reached a state where they are not attached to things. No matter where they live, their minds can be as still as a mirror lake. But I am not at that state. Since my mind cannot be empty, I can only make this room emptier."

Finally, Taoist Danhe explained why he wanted to clear his mind and what he wanted to think clearly about.
The Taoist sat quietly and spoke slowly.

"In this life, you and I have traveled all over China, from south to north."

"Suppress evil ways and regulate mountains and rivers, command ghosts and gods from all directions, and welcome and send off the old ghosts from all over the world."

"At the end of the day, what do you want?"

Taoist Jin Ao sat aside and spoke.

"Why else? Isn't it just to seek a great way?"

Everyone knows this, but then again, what is the Tao? Everyone has a different interpretation of it.

Even for Jin Ao and Dan He, the great way is also different.

Taoist Danhe asked Jin Ao, "I heard that you are planning to become an immortal?"

Taoist Jin Ao did not hide it: "Yes!"

Taoist Danhe finally opened his eyes again and looked at Taoist Jinao with great solemnity. This somewhat reckless senior brother seemed to be much more decisive than him when making certain decisions.

But it can also be said that we often do things based on our feelings rather than our brains.

He said: "The immortal road is not easy to walk."

Taoist Jin Ao: "It's good to go. We have already cleared the way. Why are you waiting for you and me?"

Although we cannot say that anyone has successfully walked the Shinto Road, at least the number of people walking on this road is as numerous as carp swimming in the river.

And there are also many people who have obtained the list of immortality by relying on this.

And the immortal way.

It's just been heard, but no mortal has actually taken this path.

The only ones who could possibly embark on the path to immortality as mortals might be the Ten Wizards of Lingshan in the Wushan Goddess Palace. However, these Ten Wizards of Lingshan rarely come down from Wushan on weekdays. They are like dragons that are hard to be found.

What’s more important is that even though we know there is a path to immortality in this world, we don’t know how to go about it.

It is one thing to be unable to get through. But if you don’t even know how to get through or which direction the road leads to, then you are really helpless.

Taoist Danhe asked this crucial question: "How can we embark on the path of immortality without the secrets passed down by the sage?"

"Without the help of the immortals, this path will be in vain!"

Taoist Jin'ao hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke to Danhe.

"I have met Yun Zhongjun before."

Taoist Jin'ao took off the bamboo hat on his head, but still held it in his hand with great care. He only let Danhe look at it instead of handing it over.

"Yun Zhongjun gave me this magic weapon, but he said that I don't have immortal bones, so I can't use it."

"If a person does not have immortal bones, there is no way to cultivate immortality."

Taoist Jin'ao sighed, he must have tried many times but still couldn't refine this magic weapon.

"But when I entered the netherworld using the Yin-Walking method, I learned a method from Senior Brother Yin-Yang."

"Perhaps, we can find another way to become an immortal."

After hearing this, Taoist Danhe said hurriedly.

"What method? Do you dare to use Senior Brother Yin Yang's method?"

"Have you forgotten about the poison pill and the three corpse gods?"

"I'm not afraid..."

Although the Yin-Yang Taoist is extremely unreliable, when it comes to the research of the cultivation method, the two of them think that the other is a true genius.

Although the methods used by the other party are so unconventional that they are hard to describe, and they even ignore the consequences and costs, sometimes we have to admit that they are really useful.

Taoist Jin'ao also knew what Taoist Danhe meant, and he waved his hand.

"Although Senior Brother Yin Yang has a somewhat eccentric personality, he is a true master."

Finally, he told the method he and the Yin-Yang Taoist priest had discussed.

"After death, with the help of the divine coffin in the Unbreakable Bone Hell and by giving up reincarnation, you can refine this magic weapon into another body of your own."

"Let my three souls and seven spirits enter this magic weapon."

"Take the path of immortality with your incarnation, use this immortal magic weapon as your foundation, and practice the art of immortality."

"I named this method the 'Incarnation Sutra'."

In essence, it is to upload the memory to the built-in brain of the magic weapon through the special features of the Unmelted Bone Hell, making it another self, just like reincarnation, or possession of another body.

When Taoist Danhe heard this method, he was horrified.

but.

I have to say, this method really seems like the style of a Taoist priest, and it is exactly the same as his past behavior.

And even though it sounds crazy, it gives people a vague feeling that this method might actually work.

Moreover, he had vaguely heard of this method of incarnation.

It is said.

Yun Zhongjun walks around the human world in his incarnation. What Taoist Jin Ao encountered before was not Yun Zhongjun's real body, but one of his incarnations.

Such great magical powers sound like a righteous path.

But, isn’t this the magical power that real immortals possess? How can a mortal cultivate it?
Taoist Danhe frowned and said, "To have an incarnation outside of one's body, isn't that a great magical power that only immortals have?"

Taoist Jin Ao immediately corrected his mistake and said, "It's not an incarnation, it's just an incarnation."

There is also the word "outside the body" in the incarnation.

However, the incarnation method that Jin Ao wanted to practice did not have any meaning outside of the body. It transferred the "soul" through the divine coffin in the Hell of Incorruptible Bones. In the end, his own body and everything disappeared, leaving only an incarnation left between heaven and earth.

Moreover, the immortal's external incarnation can transform into thousands of forms, but it is impossible for Taoist Jin Ao to do that. He can only control this one incarnation.

After hearing the details of the "Incarnation Sutra", Taoist Danhe's face changed again and again, and he became so gloomy that he seemed to be transformed into the old Yin-Yang Taoist of the past.

"This...this...this..."

The incarnation outside the body may be considered a righteous method, a true magical power of immortals.

The set of magic skills compiled jointly by Taoist Jin'ao and Taoist Yin Yang reveals an evil feeling no matter from which angle.

Taoist Danhe wanted to say something, but looking at Taoist Jinao's excited and beaming face, he didn't know whether he should say it directly.

"This, this evil... this magic..."

Taoist Danhe did not call this magic a demon or evil magic on the spot, which was already a consideration for his fellow disciples' face.

Finally, he asked.

"Senior brother!"

"Aren't you afraid of violating the Heavenly Laws by practicing this magic?"

"If the Heavenly Court learns of this and sends people down to investigate you, what will you do?"

Taoist Jin'ao and Taoist Yin Yang had also thought about this matter a long time ago.

Taoist Jin'ao frowned and said with some anger.

"Junior brother, why are you looking at me like that?"

"I, Jin Ao, am also a Taoist master. Everything I do is upright and aboveboard."

"I practice this magic in an upright manner. I also observe the form of immortals and receive the teachings from them. This can be regarded as the orthodox teaching of immortals!"

"If you use this method to take someone's body, then the heaven and earth will definitely not tolerate it, and I'm afraid a heavenly calamity will fall in an instant."

"Either they occupied the demon tribe or robbed other people's magic weapons. I'm afraid the Heavenly Court would immediately send people to investigate, and they would be reduced to ashes in an instant."

"But this magic weapon is originally mine, and it was given by an immortal. Why can't I refine it into an incarnation?"

Taoist Jin'ao looked straight at Danhe and spoke.

"In this world, there are thousands of magic spells and myriad magical powers."

"If it is used for evil purposes, it is all evil magic. Where can magic be good or evil? It all depends on who is practicing it and where it is used."

Taoist Danhe also understood this principle, but still felt that the "Incarnation Sutra" was really weird and difficult to accept.

However, since Taoist Jin'ao said so, he could not say that this was some kind of evil magic.

Indeed, no matter what, this method was created by Taoist Jin'ao after observing the form of an immortal. If you say that this method is a demon or evil method, then where is Lord Zhiyunzhong?
But after Taoist Jin'ao finished speaking righteously, he still felt a little sad, or perhaps he understood that if he practiced this magic, there would be some things he would have to give up.

"However, after practicing this 'Incarnation Sutra', I may not be able to stay in this Kyushu or the human world anymore."

"From now on, you will no longer be part of the six realms of reincarnation, nor will you be part of the human realm."

The Heavenly Law clearly states that things in the human world that do not belong to humanity, and that do not have a job in heaven or are affiliated with the Shinto system, are not allowed to stay in the Nine Provinces of the human world.

“After mastering this incarnation, one will be free from the human realm and will not enter the cycle of reincarnation.”

"It will probably be difficult to re-enter the human world and enter the cycle of reincarnation."

Reincarnation has always been a humanitarian arrangement.

For the demon race, there is no reincarnation, at least for now.

This magic weapon originated from the demon clan. Although refining the magic weapon into an incarnation cannot be completely regarded as an incarnation of a demon, at least that is the view of Taoist Jin Ao.

But at the same time, it cannot be considered an existence within the human realm.

After listening to this, Danhe wanted to persuade Taoist Jinao to be cautious.

"Brother Ao!"

"You have to be steady. Senior Brother Yin Yang's method is good and ingenious."

"It's...that's..."

Taoist Jin Ao asked, "What is it?"

Taoist Danhe didn’t know how to describe it, he could only say.

“It’s just too wonderful.”

Taoist Danhe's words were unclear, but Taoist Jin'ao understood what he meant and instantly burst into laughter.

Then, Taoist Jin Ao said.

"I understand what you want to say, Junior Brother."

"But just as my junior brother said when I came here just now, what exactly are you and I seeking at the end of our lives?"

"People say that you and I have already left the world. Although the way of God is good, it is not what I want. Although the way of immortal is difficult, I want to give it a try."

Dan He failed to persuade Jin Ao in the end, or rather, he knew from the beginning that he could not persuade him.

Once they have made up their minds, it is not easy to change them. Moreover, even he himself does not know who is right and who is wrong between him and Jin Ao.

Who knows, will Jin Ao really succeed in his endeavours on that road?
Without the test of time, who can know what it will be like in the end?

Taoist Danhe saw Taoist Jinao off and washed his face in the wooden basin.

Just looking at his own graying temples in the water, Taoist Danhe remembered what Taoist Jin'ao had said.

“I’m upset!”

“I’m upset!”

Sure enough, these external things are the source of confusion!
The two human beings were too disdainful to walk this path, but the old Yin-Yang Taoist priest of the Shinto sect had already walked this path once, so the two of them could follow his example.

But just as Taoist Jin'ao said, they have come all the way to where they are now, and how can the immortal be willing to give it a try if he doesn't want to find a way to do it.

"Immortal!"

"Free and easy!"

Compared to the various gods who are subject to various constraints under the Shinto, and the gods of incense and worship who live in the void, he yearns for the freedom and ease of the legendary immortal way.

But all that was just his imagination, and in fact, he and all the monks today didn't know it.

What will this immortal path look like at the end?
-
Dainichi Shrine.

Some people ascend to the pinnacle of power and become emperors, some enter the Dragon Court with their humanitarian merits, some accumulate merits to become gods, and some dream of becoming immortals.

No matter where they are, everyone has things they want to do and peaks they want to climb.

At this moment, the immortal who stands at the top in the eyes of all gods, demons and ghosts in the world also has his goal.

Jiang Chao stood on the Fusang sacred tree, looked up at the sky, and then looked down at his feet.

Even though it seems that the entire Kyushu region is under his control now, it seems that nothing in this world can stop him.

But in his opinion, there are still secrets hidden above the nine heavens and beneath the earth that are difficult for him to reach and unravel.

At present, the two most important things for Jiang Chao and Wangshu are the sky and the underground.

In the sky, of course, the construction of the celestial palace and the exploration of the universe are proceeding in full swing.

And underground, of course, is the giant silicon-based life form that runs through Kyushu. Currently, Wangshu is constantly exploring for the origin of this giant silicon-based life form, as well as the host that may exist somewhere.

But so far, there seems to be no harvest.

At this time, Wangshu suddenly appeared and said to Jiang Chao.

"I have begun to focus more resources on building the Heavenly Palace. The first generation of Jianmu is no longer sufficient, and the second generation of Jianmu is under construction."

Jiang Chao looked at the ground beneath his feet and asked.

"We have already confirmed that the host is in the ground. We have confirmed that this is the Earth. Shouldn't we focus on finding it?"

However, Wangshu shook his head.

“Finding it is not the most important thing.”

Jiang Chao asked: "What is the most important thing?"

Wangshu said: "The most important task is to keep the administrator Jiang Chao alive."

Wangshu walked up and stood beside Jiang Chao.

"No matter what, we are ready for the next step."

"If something goes wrong on this planet, at least we can escape into space."

Then, Wangshu looked at Jiang Chao's face.

"So, let's ascend to the fairyland together!"
