Reborn Tianlong: I practice martial arts for immortality

Jiang Weichen was not surprised that Zhang Ziyang was a grandmaster. After all, he was a Taoist master, so it was not surprising that he reached such a level.

But Taoist Qingyun was a little surprised, and Jiang Weichen looked at him suspiciously.

Just a Grandmaster? Taoist Qingyun even looks down on Grandmasters?

"Master, what realm are you at?" Jiang Weichen asked.

"Late stage of the innate realm, didn't I tell you before?" Taoist Qingyun replied directly.

Jiang Weichen was a little confused about this Taoist Qingyun. The two of them had practiced together for a long time before, and he certainly shouldn't have reached the level of a grandmaster.

But it’s bad enough that he knows so many secrets now, but he also looks down on the Grand Master?

Is it because the world is weakening, the future of martial arts is cut off, and it makes no difference whether you break through or not, that people look down on grandmasters?

Or is he also a grandmaster himself, so he looks down on grandmasters?

I can't figure out Jiang Weichen, so I don't think about it anymore. Whether he is a master or an ordinary person, I can just get along with him as usual.

His experience at Leigushan made him realize that even if he put in a lot of effort, he might not get anything in return.

Many times, you have to fight for what you need to fight for, but you still have to keep calm when you need to keep calm.

If you change your attitude because you suspect that Taoist Qingyun is a master, then even if he really is a master, he will not teach you anything.

"Master, you're a little cocky, aren't you? You actually look down on the Grandmaster?"

Hearing Jiang Weichen's words, Taoist Qingyun was startled and asked, "When did I look down on the Grandmaster?"

"Just now you said: He's just a Grandmaster. Isn't that contemptuous?"

Taoist Qingyun waved his hands repeatedly and said, "I never said that. Don't frame me. If this gets out, it will bring me trouble. A Grandmaster should not be insulted."

Jiang Weichen stopped worrying when he saw the Taoist Qingyun who refused to admit it.

As the world weakened, unable to break through to a higher realm, Jiang Weichen turned and asked, "Master, has anyone in this world ascended to become an immortal?"

Taoist Qingyun sneered, "Go back and have a good sleep. Maybe you'll become an immortal when you wake up."

Jiang Weichen was disappointed. After reading so many secret books, he didn't see any records of breaking the void.

There are no rumors of ascension nowadays, so it seems that the idea of ​​going to other worlds is unrealistic.

But he still said: "But Taoist priest, I heard that many people in the Taoist sect have ascended to heaven."

Taoist Qingyun sighed and said, "That is the Dao of Transformation."

Jiang Weichen was completely confused. He couldn't even reach the Golden Core Realm, and you suddenly gave me the Dao Transformation Realm?

Is that so amazing? The celestial beings have begun to comprehend the great Dao?

Taoist Qingyun saw Jiang Weichen's confusion and said, "To put it simply, it means death. In addition to the theories of internal and external alchemy, my Taoist school also pursues the unity of man and nature.

This state of mind emphasizes adapting to nature, coexisting with heaven and earth, and becoming one with all things.

It is believed that the reason why heaven and earth can last forever is that they are not themselves and therefore can live forever.

Since humans cannot live forever, they should strive to get closer to the illusory way of heaven and try to integrate into the world.

But the universe is without thoughts, desires, or emotions, so this state of mind is beyond the reach of ordinary people."

Taoist Qingyun said this and sighed: "But some great people's thinking is indeed high. They have reached this state, and their thoughts are in harmony with heaven and earth.

The soul can therefore comprehend the great Dao of heaven and earth, but if the realm is not high, how can it comprehend the great Dao at will?

If you can wake up in time, the benefits will be huge, and the most basic benefit is the rapid improvement of your cultivation.

Some people can innovate based on their insights and become unparalleled masters who carry on the tradition.

But if one cannot wake up and gets lost in this vast road, the body without the soul will die. After the death of the body, the wandering soul will have no place to go.

Some people call this situation "ascension to heaven," believing that the person's soul has ascended to become an immortal.

But some of the old Taoists don't believe it, and many of their peers don't believe it either. They call this situation "transformation of the Tao."

Jiang Weichen felt that he had gained some knowledge. If he could reach the state of unity between man and nature in the future, he would not be at a loss.

However, with my own level of thinking, I am afraid I cannot reach this level.

Without thoughts or ideas, without desires or emotions, is this still a human being? Is this what a saint should be like?

Everyone has selfish desires, including Jiang Weichen. He doesn't think he can reach this level.

But has Zhang Sanfeng reached this level?

Think about it, it's very likely.

During the Yitian period, he alone was a monument and could be described as an unrivaled grandmaster who carried on the tradition and opened up new paths to the future.

Not to mention that he is ahead of others in realm, I don’t even know how many levels ahead of others he is in ideological realm.

In his middle age, he was also a hot-tempered young man, fighting demons everywhere. However, in his later years, he watched his disciples being forced to death and did not seek revenge.

Was it because he was old and weak at that time, his strength declined, and he could not deal with so many people?

Or was it that he was deeply studying Taoist knowledge at that time, and his ideological realm was slowly approaching the way of heaven?

Chapter 171: Qinglian Visualization Method

Jiang Weichen didn't think about it anymore. The Yitian period was two or three hundred years away from now, and he didn't know if he could live to that period.

I didn't expect to gain such a huge amount from this trip to Qingyun Temple. There must not be many people who know this secret.

Jiang Weichen was delighted. Compared with Taoist Qingyun, Wuyazi didn't look like a master at all.

Jiang Weichen smiled and said, "Master, do you want to expand it? Your Sutra Library is a bit small. If you have too many books in the future, won't it be too big to store them?"

Taoist Qingyun replied: "There are only two people in my temple, so there is no need to expand it. From now on, apart from precious scriptures, please don't send me ordinary things.

The ordinary scriptures in the old Taoist temple are already easy to learn, and too many are useless."

For hundreds and thousands of years, there have been only a few hundred famous Taoist scriptures. The reason they are so prevalent today is that later generations always want to express their personal opinions after reading them.

Either mark it directly on the original or write another one, and the miscellaneous things will just keep piling up.

Some insights are useful, but some are even irrelevant.

Jiang Weichen wanted to express his gratitude, but the Taoist Qingyun refused, so he had to give up. Now he couldn't give the Taoist any other rewards.

Then he turned and asked, "Where's Qing Yi? Didn't he play chess with the Taoist today?"

"After all, you are just a kid, how can you always stay with me? Let's go to the village at the foot of the mountain to play."

After Taoist Qingyun put away the scriptures, Jiang Weichen immediately said, "Master, my chess skills have greatly improved this time. You are definitely not my opponent. Do you dare to play a few games?"

The main purpose of coming here this time was to deliver scriptures to Taoist Qingyun, and secondly to fight back on the chessboard.

However, he did not expect to get a lot of secrets from Taoist Qingyun. Although they were not actual martial arts secrets, they were very important.

At least it made him know the direction of his future cultivation, and this martial arts and the immortal way in some novels are actually somewhat similar.

In this world's martial arts, the body-building, innate, and grandmaster stages are roughly equivalent to the Qi Refining stage.

Grandmaster, the celestial being is equivalent to the foundation-building stage, and the next stage is the golden elixir stage.

But compared with the immortal way, there are not so many spells and talismans, and one cannot fly. It seems that even the grand masters cannot fly.

If he wants to break through to a higher level, he has to pay attention from now on.

He must find a way to lock his own energy, or cultivate an impenetrable body, otherwise the Grandmaster is the pinnacle he can reach.

But there is no need to rush at the moment, just pay attention. The primary goal is to perfect the skills and break through to that level first.

The Taoist priest Qingyun beside him didn't believe what Jiang Weichen said. He turned around and took out the chessboard from the corner, sneering:

"Just you, I, an old Taoist who has practiced chess for decades, how could I lose to you? I didn't even try my best before."

After setting up the chessboard, Taoist Qingyun said with a smile, "As usual, you go first."

Jiang Weichen was not polite either. He sat opposite the Taoist Qingyun, holding the white piece in his hand and placed it on Tianyuan.

"Clap~"

"Clap~"

The two sides exchanged blows, and the sound of pieces falling could be heard.

"Master, please hurry up. There's no need to think about it for so long, right?"

"Shut up. A true gentleman plays chess without talking."

"Master, this seems like watching chess in silence, right?"

"..."

Soon.

"Master, your dragon has been killed."

"It's a small problem. As long as you haven't lost yet, everything is possible."

"..."

"Master, you lose."

"I was careless and underestimated the enemy just now. Come again."

Both sides put away their chess pieces and started the second game. Taoist Qingyun was fully focused on this game and the game was quite tense.

But in the end Jiang Weichen won.

In the third game, Jiang Weichen won again.

Taoist Qingyun’s chess skills are okay, but they are still far behind those of Su Xinghe, who has devoted his entire life to studying the art.

Under Su Xinghe's guidance, Jiang Weichen played chess with him for another three months, and his chess skills improved rapidly.

Halfway through the fourth game, he was in the advantage again, but when he saw Taoist Qingyun clenching his fist, Jiang Weichen had a bad feeling.

I can't win again, otherwise Taoist Qingyun will get angry and beat me up.

Jiang Weichen began to let up a little, allowing Taoist Qingyun to make up for the disadvantage.

Taking advantage of his improved mood, Jiang Weichen said with a smile: "Your chess skills have improved after only three games, Taoist? You are quite talented."

Taoist Qingyun knew Jiang Weichen was flattering him, but he still said with a smile: "Don't flatter me. I don't have any peerless martial arts to teach you."
