Practice begins with immortality

At this moment, in the core area of ​​the Ten Thousand Mountains, several cultivators in the Void Refinement Realm gathered.

Seeing the newcomer, the middle-aged man had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Fellow Daoists, you misunderstood me. That's not what I meant."

"That's not what you meant? Then what exactly do you mean?" The cold voice sounded again.

"My fellow Taoists, no one knows what happened here. I didn't mention anyone by name, nor did I come to your door directly like you did. What exactly do you want to do?" The old man suppressed the anger in his heart and growled in a low voice.

Seeing the old man's angry expression, the middle-aged man whispered to him, "Fifth Master, why are you doing this? The most important thing right now is to get rid of them first."

"Send them away? Can they be sent away? Humph, in the end, they're bound to fight over that thing. So there's absolutely no need to put up with them now!"

Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, someone else arrived.

Everyone looked and saw that the person coming was a beautiful woman in a light golden palace dress. She had a noble temperament and a beautiful face. Her every frown and smile was elegant and dignified.

Seeing this, the beautiful woman immediately said, "Fellow Daoists, what exactly happened? Why did it come to this?"

"Why don't we sit down and talk first to figure things out. After all, now is not the time to get into a conflict." She frowned slightly and said in a serious tone.

"So it's a fellow Taoist from the Ye family!" Seeing this beautiful woman, the atmosphere between the two sides eased a little. Obviously, they were still quite wary of this beautiful woman.

Afterwards, the beautiful woman surnamed Ye also understood the details of the situation. She nodded and said, "I see."

"However, the two fellow Daoists of the Ji family spoke in anger because of the death of their juniors. But it is too much for several Daoists to bully us directly."

"Humph, I've heard for a long time that the Ji and Ye families have a private relationship. Now it seems to be true!" One of them snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly.

"Haha, really, you take sides as soon as you come!" The other person also sneered, his eyes full of mockery.

"My fellow Taoists, that's not what I meant. It's just..." The beautiful woman named Ye hurriedly explained.

"Just what? It's fitting that you're not as skilled as your opponent. Didn't his Ji Haoshen say the same thing when he killed our sect's genius?!" The man interrupted her without any politeness, his tone filled with anger.

"Or is it that the geniuses of his family are precious, while the geniuses of my sect are worthless?" The man sneered and said again.

At this moment, the atmosphere, which had been somewhat relaxed, became strange again.

At this moment, a voice rang out: "Fellow Daoist Ye, you're taking sides as soon as you arrive. How can the other Daoists accept you?"

Everyone looked over and saw that the person coming was Jin Po who had been beside Hu Qingxian before.

Then, the beautiful woman surnamed Ye frowned and said, "So it's Elder Jin from Tianhu Mountain. Fellow Daoist Jin, what are your thoughts?"

"I'm just speaking a fair word," Jin Po said slowly, "These fellow Taoists are right. We are inferior to others in strength, and we deserve this disaster."

"You can't say that killing another genius is the law of the jungle and should be taken for granted. But if your genius dies at the hands of someone else, it's absolutely unjustified and we must retaliate."

"The two Daoists are heartbroken over the death of their descendants. It's understandable that they said something in anger, but you can't do that."

"After all, are you only allowed to let your descendants kill others, but not others kill your descendants? That would be really excessive."

"Besides, fighting now will only lead to more harm than good. Everyone should calm down and think carefully!"

After saying this, the old woman turned and left. After careful consideration, the others decided to put up with him for a few days and then resolve the matter once it was over.

Then, everyone left.

At this point, the situation was at least resolved peacefully. After all, both parties were able to calm down.

The truth is actually very simple, and the interests involved are not difficult to understand. Everyone knows it.

However, any creature with a little intelligence has emotions.

Sometimes, even a small dispute, once combined with new and old grudges, may eventually lead to a war.

Even those who consider themselves calm and composed can be swayed by their emotions in an instant. Just like Jin Po, who arrived later, if she had known that Wang Bo had killed Hu Qingxian, she would have been furious and eager to kill Wang Bo immediately.

.........

At the same time, Wang Bo on the other side had no idea what was happening in the outside world.

Because at this moment, he has more important things to deal with.

On the top of the first mountain, Wang Bai was talking with a soul that looked like a young monk.

"My friend, I wonder if you have practiced the Hunling Xuan Gong?" The young monk looked at Wang Bai with a hint of curiosity and expectation in his eyes.

The young monk before him, to be more precise, was a remnant of the Buddha's spirit. When Wang Bo first met him, he honestly told him his identity and origins.

"I have indeed practiced the Hunling Xuan Gong. Have you also practiced it, senior?" Wang Bai asked doubtfully.

“…You can just call me Xingzhe. After all, I am just a remnant of Buddha’s soul, and even my memories are incomplete. I cannot bear the title of senior.” Xingzhe said with a smile, his tone very gentle.

"Futu only once obtained the complete version of Hunling Xuan Gong, but he did not actually practice this technique. He only comprehended some of the content that was useful to him." The traveler continued to explain.

"Oh? Why? This technique is obviously so powerful?" Wang Bai asked curiously.

The traveler sighed, "Because, in the eyes of many people in the universe, the path of body refinement is a dead end!"

"Dead end? Why?" Wang Bai asked with some confusion. After all, physical cultivation is also a type of immortal cultivator, and it is also the most well-known type besides Qi training.

"Because what physical cultivation pursues is not the spiritual power, but the evolution of the root of life."

"Normal cultivators, after overcoming the Three Calamities, achieve Mahayana, and then ascend to the Immortal Realm, becoming immortals with the immortal spirit energy that only exists in the Immortal Realm. Physical cultivation, on the other hand, aims to sanctify the flesh. More precisely, it means becoming a naturally divine being, born and nurtured by nature and earth, born divine."

"But that's too difficult. Since the birth of the universe, there are dozens of people who have ascended to the immortal realm. But it seems that there is not a single person who has achieved sainthood in the flesh."

"Even the demons and monsters who valued bloodlines have long since abandoned the cultivation method that only focused on bloodlines, and instead practiced a new method that focuses on the soul and mana, supplemented by the body and bloodlines."
