Very reasonable cultivation

The return trip was faster than the coming trip, only taking an hour and a half. If it hadn't taken some time to determine the location, it would have been even shorter.

Wang Xu only saw a streak of light flash by, and in half a breath, the light flashed several times in the night sky. Finally, the light seemed to have found the right position, turned a corner and landed beside Wang Xu in an instant.

Da Zhuang was called back, leaving only the universal storage container here. A round table, chairs and stools were placed in this place, and a pot of tea was brewed.

He landed at an extremely fast speed without causing much noise. The old man was amazed at the man's ability to control spiritual energy.

The light faded, revealing Tian Zhen's figure. He put his hands together in a ceremonial gesture and said to the old ancestor sitting in the chair, "Greetings, Grandmaster."

"Great, great, great! I heard that all my disciples and grandchildren have gone to the moon. Now that I see him in person, he is indeed extraordinary." As soon as he saw Tian Zhen, he praised him. As soon as he finished praising him, he fixed his eyes on Tian Zhen. It didn't seem like he was possessing someone else's body! But he seemed to have seen something extraordinary. There was an inward halo in his soul. This halo had a rounded meaning, as if it came from outside of nature.

It's like - it's not from this world!

He wasn't sure, so he decided to wait and see.

Tian Zhen was being watched, and the old man was also clearly seen by Tian Zhen. The force was mutual, and the vision was also mutual. In Tian Zhen's eyes, a child with golden light all over his body sat cross-legged on the old man's head, with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep, but also as if he was awake.

After the old man finished speaking, both of them fell silent.

To ease the awkwardness, the old man spoke first: "Your name is Tian Zhen, right? Do you know why we are investigating you?"

Tian Zhen didn't reply. Wang Xu was coughing furiously. The old man stopped him and said with a smile, "You're young and energetic, so it's normal for you to have a little temper. We're checking you to prevent you from being possessed. Back then, so many young disciples disappeared inexplicably. We were really scared."

As soon as he finished speaking, he thought of the last few disciples he taught, and immediately continued with gritted teeth: "If you see something like this, I would rather kill the wrong person than let one go. Investigate, and kill anyone who finds out."

His voice suddenly softened as he said, "I hope you won't blame your master. I don't have many years left to live, and I also hope to have my thoughts cleared before I finally ascend to the Divine Transformation stage."

Tian Zhen knew all these reasons, but he still felt a little unhappy. He no longer had any good impression of the old man. But after all, he was his master's master. He should give him some face.

"Isn't the lifespan of the Yuanying stage nearly a thousand years? Why do you say that there are only a few years left to live?" Tian Zhen asked naturally, as if he was not angry just now.

The old man was amused and said, "Hey, haven't you read the book? When your ancestor was young, he wandered around and finally made it to the Nascent Soul stage. He then wandered around for hundreds of years. When his life was almost over, he thought of founding a sect to leave a mark on this world. However, all the places with resources and spiritual veins in the world were occupied by major sects. Later, he found a place like this with no spiritual veins and no one to compete for it, and founded his sect. From the founding of the sect to now, it has been less than three hundred years. I can say that my life has come to an end. The chance of becoming a God is slim."

This old man seemed to have really reached the nagging stage that old people should have.

"Is it difficult to become a god?" Tian Zhen asked curiously.

"Difficult! A long time ago, I don't know how long, the path to becoming a god was cut off at some point, and all of them stopped at the peak of the Nascent Soul. People outside are still looking for the path to becoming a god, but have not succeeded. At least I, your ancestor, have never heard of anyone succeeding in becoming a god. I don't know the method either, but the deadline is approaching, and it will always be a pity if I don't rush forward with my head covered. Hey, boy, do you understand the concept of becoming a god?" The old man talked for a long time, and seeing that Tian Zhen had already wandered away, he couldn't help but remind him, but he didn't know if he understood.

Tian Zhen came back to his senses. He was just thinking about what the God Transformation was. According to his theoretical reasoning, the God Transformation was the next step for the soul to ascend to godhood. The soul could be compared to a closed loop of countless small circles in balance, thus forming a large circle, but it was not a circle after all. The God Transformation should be to completely transform this pseudo-circle into a real circle, just like turning a piece of stone into a piece of stone completely, without those small circles inside.

His thoughts were interrupted, so he pondered for a moment before trying to express his understanding with a metaphor: "Master, the transformation of the spirit is like I draw a circle. In our image, it is a real circle, but if you magnify it, it is not a circle. I think the transformation of the spirit should be to turn it into a real circle in our image."

"Well, what you said is more like the gods and ghosts in the country temples. They are very similar. It's not that there haven't been Nascent Soul cultivators who have tried it, and there are similar sects, but in the end they became the image portrayed by others, and they are no longer themselves." The old man saw this point very clearly. He traveled all over the country and it was not in vain.

Well, it seems that this understanding is not wrong, but that is not what he meant. Tian Zhen continued to ponder and said, "Memory is the carrier of the soul. Just like the big circle does not exist, but is outlined by the combination of small circles. If we put the non-existence of the big circle into one of the small circles, so that the yin and yang of the virtual and the real can coexist, wouldn't it be perfect?"

"Then why do the two have to be combined? Extreme yang gives birth to yin, and the spirit and soul form an independent circle by themselves. Isn't that possible?" The old man seemed to regard Tian Zhen as a peer in discussing Taoism, and asked Tian Zhen about the Tao he was thinking about.

Tian Zhen knew that what he meant was to form his own Yin closed loop under the Yin closed loop of the universe, but the soul is composed of countless small Yin closed loops, and its nature is multi-resonance, which is far from the nature of the universe. If it really has to resonate with the universe, it must burn like wood and turn into light!

"Because nothingness cannot exist independently!" Tian Zhen blurted out.

After saying this, both of them were stunned, one was thoughtful, and the other began to doubt his own way.

"Where did I come from? Nothingness cannot exist independently, so where did my memories of my past life come from?" Tian Zhen asked himself, falling into self-confusion.

"Could it be that I'm God?" Tian Zhen couldn't help but laugh, finding his own thoughts amusing. Was my path of deduction wrong? Could this universe have other properties?

Just as he was thinking about the nature of the universe, Tian Zhen suddenly felt as if he was wearing earplugs, and the surroundings became much quieter.

"What's going on? What happened?" Tian Zhen looked at the old man in surprise. He closed his eyes, and the five elements of water appeared on his body. A sense of infection spread out from him.

"You guys should leave quickly and get out of the range of the calamity cloud." The old man's voice could be heard throughout the entire environment.

"Tribulation clouds?" Tian Zhen looked up and saw dark clouds gathering. Was this old man about to face a tribulation? How could he be even more impatient than I am?

"Master." Wang Xu wanted to say something, but seemed to have heard something. He sighed and left with Tian Zhen.

This time, the master hurriedly overcame the tribulation, and he must have been confident about it, but Wang Xu was still very nervous.

Tian Zhen looked back while flying, observing the formation process of the calamity cloud. He became curious about the entire process of transcending the calamity. If he was not afraid of disturbing the old man, he would have wanted to stand beside him and observe the whole process carefully. After all, this was the legendary transcending the calamity!
