I use my supernatural powers to prove my immortality

Chapter 168 Extreme Imagery

Xu Xuanzi just pointed in the distance, and the low mountain not far away began to "grow" wildly, becoming extremely majestic in just a short time.

Facing this mountain, Zhong Lixiao suddenly felt extremely insignificant.

Both the body and the mind seemed to be suppressed by a towering mountain at the same time.

It was as if he had suddenly become the Monkey King under the Five Elements Mountain, never to be free again.

Even the circulation of Qi in the five internal organs of the body was blocked, as if he had lost his magical powers and fell back into a mortal.

But in the blink of an eye, this towering mountain turned into a blazing flame, which seemed to be able to illuminate thousands of miles and burn everything.

As for Zhong Lixiao himself, it was as if he was thrown into the Bagua furnace in an instant. The smoke from the furnace made his eyes stream, and he seemed to be completely refined into ashes.

In a moment, it fell into the endless ocean, being moistened, washed, and submerged.
In just a short period of time, Zhong Lixiao felt extremely choked up inside, as if there were endless burdens blocking his heart, ready to crush him completely.

The myriad of frustrations that had just been relieved from his brows came back to his mind, eventually giving rise to infinite fear.

This situation is truly unprecedented!

Since he started practicing, Zhong Lixiao has never felt this kind of fear when facing the mountains, waters, and fires of the boundless world.

When you encounter a mountain, cross it; when you encounter water, wade through it.

Even if there is a merciless fire, one can still sit on the fire calmly in front of the secret method of the immortal way.

Everything only shows that there is something wrong with the mountain, the water, and the fire. They are not even the mountains, water, and fire that he is familiar with.

Suddenly, all these strange visions disappeared, and everything in front of me became bare again.

The mountain was still that bare little wild mountain. There was no fire on the mountain, and there were no signs of being burned.

There was no water, not even the soil was wet.

It seems that all this is illusory, just a deception!
Xu Xuanzi smiled and asked, "How?"

Zhong Lixiao still felt a little nervous and said, "It's scary. I instinctively feel scared. It seems that everything I have learned has become meaningless here."

"And I don't know whether what I just saw was true or false. Was it an illusion?"

Xu Xuanzi's eyes lit up, and he smiled and praised, "Very good, your perception is very sharp. If you can say these two sentences, you have basically understood the essence of the Kunyu World Atlas."

Zhong Lixiao was puzzled.

But I still followed the words and thoughts of my master Xu Xuanzi and began to review what he had just said.

Terrible, what I learned is meaningless, whether it is true or false.
At this moment, Zhong Lixiao thought a lot.

Soon, the teachings of his ancestor Zhong Anhe came to his mind bit by bit.

That is about the choice of practice and Dharma body.

The ancestor had already given him the "Vajra Rock Secret" at that time, but in the end, based on his life experience and experience, he suggested that if conditions permit, he should switch to practicing Baiyun Temple's "Soil Control Method".

The practice method is very important, and the quality of the Dharma body is also crucial.

Afterwards, what he had heard about the concept of "extreme" in the Tai Chi Hall came to his mind.

Zhong Lixiao's eyes lit up and he said, "The so-called 'extreme' can actually be understood as the pinnacle of a certain path or a certain symbol. Take Baiyun Temple as an example. Our pursuit of the limit of the mountain is the pinnacle of the symbol of the mountain."

"As long as we succeed, all the unique skills and secret techniques related to mountains in the future will be suppressed by our 'Mountain Extreme', or even become ineffective?"

Zhong Lixiao felt that he understood a little.

In short, what everyone is fighting for is actually a kind of "power and position between heaven and earth."

Once you reach a certain critical point and become one of the poles of heaven and earth, you will naturally be crowned successfully.

Those with higher authority crush those with lower authority!

Therefore, the "Earth Escape Technique" that he was proficient in was completely ineffective.

The reason why he felt that everything he had learned was meaningless was because his master's mountain and earth authority crushed him in all aspects.

And this is the fundamental reason why he instinctively feels so powerless!

In addition to competing for the "true meaning of the mountain", Baiyun Temple also incorporated the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth into the true meaning of the mountain.

Most likely he just doesn't want to lag behind others in the five elements, right? !

The Five Elements are the most basic spiritual power in the world and the cornerstone of the world. Once you fall behind others in this regard, all the magic spells you practice may be restrained by others.

This is something that no sect in the world can tolerate!
Therefore, Baiyun Temple even used the Five Elements as its cornerstone to continue raising the height of Fuyun Mountain.

And it is obvious that Baiyun Temple's approach was successful!

Then think of the three peaks of Jiuxiao, Guizang and Wanxiang, that is to say, everything in the world can become bricks and stones that symbolize the "mountain".

It is no wonder that Baiyun Temple prefers to call the symbol of the mountain "the true meaning of the mountain."

The mountain is an external form, but in essence it still encompasses everything.

After hearing Zhong Lixiao's summary, Xu Xuanzi nodded with satisfaction.

If you are not angry, you will not be enlightened; if you are not frustrated, you will not speak out.

Zhong Lixiao was able to think of this with his inspiration, and perhaps this was when he truly felt a sense of urgency and endless desire in his heart!

If you don't stand at the "extreme", you are destined to be inferior to others in the future, and even your life and death will be controlled by others.

I believe that this is absolutely intolerable for any cultivator who seeks immortality and freedom.

There was just one thing that Zhong Lixiao still didn't understand.

"The high mountains, sky fire, and Canglang water that appeared just now should all be considered as 'scenery'. I wonder if they are real or fake?"

Xu Xuanzi smiled and said, "Mountains and rivers are scenery, the sun, moon and stars are scenery, and the boundless wind and moon are still scenery. They can be reflected into your heart, and naturally they can also be reflected from your heart into reality."

Zhong Lixiao seemed to be thinking about something.

This statement is very vague and idealistic, but it is very consistent with the understanding of cultivators.

True or false, sometimes it doesn’t matter.

Even moonlight can be real and have weight.

After some thought, Zhong Lixiao stopped worrying about this issue.

"Master, once the 'extreme' is confirmed, will the latecomers still have a chance?"

What Zhong Lixiao wants to ask is, is this kind of "extreme" a permanent achievement?

If it were a permanent proof, that would be too cruel.

It's almost like one person per job, and latecomers may never have a chance.

Xu Xuanzi shook his head and said, "I don't know."

"do not know?"

Xu Xuanzi nodded, "Because up to now, there is no force or individual in the world that truly stands at the pinnacle of a certain symbol."

"All the relatively powerful symbols are being pursued by people now." "Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, light, darkness, wind, thunder, time, space, mountains and rivers, sun, moon, stars. These wonders of the world will eventually compete for a true 'extreme'."

“This extreme requires not only your own recognition, but also the recognition of the world, and finally the recognition of heaven and earth.”

Zhong Lixiao frowned and said, "Mountains are essentially part of the earth, and the core of the earth is soil. What about the overlapping parts?"

Xu Xuanzi shook his head, "I don't know yet, but there will always be a result in the end. So, the true meaning of the mountain is our minimum goal."

"If we really seize the symbol of the mountain, we should use the mountain to suppress everything, even if the mountain is mainly composed of soil."

Zhong Lixiao began to understand what his master Xu Xuanzi meant.

Even if they failed to seize the "Symbol of Earth" in the end, as long as they seized the symbol of Mountain, they might be able to suppress "Earth" within the territory covered by Floating Cloud Mountain.

This is the difference between the local and the overall!

The main component of the mountain is soil, but it is not entirely soil.

Mountains can store gold, grow trees, store water, and contain fire.
This can also be understood as using authority to fight authority!

After learning this, Zhong Lixiao suddenly felt a sense of luck.

Fortunately, his master Xu Xuanzi insisted on accepting him as a disciple. If he had missed the competition between "Extreme" and "Symbol", he might soon become a remnant of the old era.

Even just thinking about the fact that all the methods you have practiced so hard have lost their meaning is chilling.

Xu Xuanzi laughed and said, "Do you think this is the pinnacle of 'extreme'?"

Zhong Lixiao was puzzled.

Xu Xuanzi: "The path to immortality is ultimately about freedom, and freedom is naturally about 'leaving the Three Realms and not being in the Five Elements'."

"To achieve a certain symbol by attaining the highest level of the Tao, one will inevitably be bound by this symbol in the end. Therefore, the highest level of the mountain is only our lowest pursuit, and the eighth level is the highest goal at present."

"And what I want to do is to unite the eight poles into one, so that all the symbols belong to me and form my own world."

Zhong Lixiao was solemn, and finally understood why the other peak masters in Taiji Hall were so shocked and even in awe when they heard Xu Xuanzi's "showdown".

When Xu Xuanzi's attainment of the first extreme of enlightenment was still vague, he had already begun pursuing the eight extremes, pursuing transcendence and great freedom and ease.

He even explored this path for a long time and creatively created a set of exercises.

Although this path has only been verified up to the Nascent Soul stage, it is still of great significance.

Zhong Lixiao bowed and said, "Master, please teach me the Dharma."

Xu Xuanzi laughed and said, "Of course I will pass on my unique skills to you, but it's too early for you to directly learn the Kunyu World Atlas."

Xu Xuanzi stretched out his hand, and two books appeared in his hand.

"It's perfect for you to practice 'Mother Earth Skill' during the Qi Training Stage, and 'Controlling Earth True Method' and 'Hou Tu True Body' during the Foundation Establishment Stage."

"The Earth Controlling Technique can gradually strengthen your earth-based true essence, and eventually allow your magic power to fill your Dantian Qi Sea and the meridians of your limbs and bones, gradually promoting the advancement of your realm."

"The True Body of Hou Tu can gradually condense the mysterious Hou Tu divine pattern in your body by absorbing the earth-related natural treasures, making your body closer to the earth-related Taoist body. Eventually, the great earth path between heaven and earth will fit together, thus condensing the Earth Emperor Seal."

"If you first cultivate the true body of Hou Tu and condense the 'Emperor Seal', I will pass on the 'Kunyu Wanguo Tudian' to you. Not only that, I will also give you a great gift at that time."

Zhong Lixiao was also quite curious.

He really wanted to know what the "great gift" was, and he even had to condense the "Emperor of Earth Seal" to obtain it.

But it is precisely because of this that Zhong Lixiao is looking forward to it even more.

"Yes."

After discussing the Guizang Peak's techniques and concepts, as well as Zhong Lixiao's training requirements for the next few years, the topic then turned to daily life and other aspects.

Since Zhong Lixiao has chosen him as his master, the treatment in all aspects will naturally not be bad.

In addition to the various benefits provided by the sect every month, Master Xu Xuanzi will also subsidize a part of it.

On Guizang Peak, Zhong Lixiao can open up a cave by himself.

Although Guizang Peak is a little small and wild, it has its own unique features. It will be no problem for Zhong Lixiao to open up a cave there.

After some hesitation, Zhong Lixiao couldn't help but ask, "Master, do you mind if a few more people move into Guizang Peak?"

Xu Xuanzi frowned, "If you want servants, there are servants on Guizang Peak. Of course, if you want to recruit a group of confidants, that's fine too."

Zhong Lixiao quickly explained, "It's not that I am greedy for enjoyment. The one I want to bring into the peak for cultivation is the disciple I accepted when I was in Taoyuan Zhong Sect."

Xu Xuanzi was surprised.

It’s too early to accept this disciple!
Xu Xuanzi was a little twisted.

But not everyone is qualified to be his disciple!
But this disciple was accepted by Zhong Lixiao before he became his disciple.
Seeing this, Zhong Lixiao quickly added, "Master, my two disciples are quite extraordinary. The eldest disciple is the master of supernatural powers."

clam?
Master of supernatural powers?

Xu Xuanzi had a strange look on his face.

real or fake? !
It is quite rare to find a master with supernatural powers who can cultivate immortality.

It would be fine if Zhong Lixiao was a master of supernatural powers, but would his disciple also be a master of supernatural powers?

Weird!

Weird!

Zhong Lixiao: "His name is Xue Jingliang. He was once the Grand Marshal of the Chu Army. He has never practiced in the mortal world. It was by chance that I met him, who had been seeking immortality everywhere but could not find it. He has dual spiritual roots of fire and earth, and has a good aptitude, but he is too old. If there is no opportunity, he may die of old age soon."

Xu Xuanzi suddenly realized.

As a result, many of the doubts in my mind were dispelled.

Having wasted half of his life without cultivating immortality, no wonder he had the opportunity to awaken into a master of supernatural powers.

Compared to people like Zhong Lixiao who first became immortal cultivators and then awakened their supernatural powers, it is indeed relatively simple for mortals who have not practiced or are simply unable to practice to awaken their supernatural powers.

It's like heaven is playing a huge joke on all living beings!
Xu Xuanzi: "Yes."

Zhong Lixiao was immediately overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Master, for your help."

Xu Xuanzi: "What about your second disciple?"

Zhong Lixiao: "Her name is Ning Yunzhi. She has great potential. If she is allowed to manage the forces under her command, she may be able to become the empress."

"Queen?"

Xu Xuanzi was speechless for a moment.

To a cultivator of immortality, isn’t imperial power like a floating cloud?
but.

Seeing that Zhong Lixiao was so serious, Xu Xuanzi chose to believe it.

but.

Compared with Zhong Lixiao's old disciple who was about to die, and the disciple he said might become the empress, Xu Xuanzi was more concerned about when Zhong Lixiao would be able to cultivate the complete Earth Emperor Seal.
