But at this moment, his Eyes of Innocence reflected an image that was different from what the naked eye could see. The sleeping figure was surrounded by a purple-gold True Dragon, coiling in circles, layer after layer, overlapping each other. It was at least a thousand feet long.
Its scales were like precious gold, shining with a frightening metallic luster. Its horns were lofty, and golden lotuses were growing on the ground. It was asleep with its eyes closed, but when it breathed, it spurted out thunder and lightning. All kinds of images were vivid and shocking!
The black-robed man was sweating and instinctively stepped back. He hit the door with a thud and said in panic,
"The protection of the Ninth True Dragon?"
This seemingly ordinary, kind-hearted man who mingled well with his neighbors actually had a real dragon as his pet.
"Where did he come from?"
"Is he an immortal from the Ninth Heaven or a Buddha?"
The sound of the door knocking woke Jiang Tian up. Years of habit made him quickly turn over and sit up, putting on the most suitable posture for action. He narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at the black-robed man in front of him, while the sound of "The protection of the Ninth True Dragon" echoed in his ears.
Dahei's strength was extraordinary and its bloodline was amazing, but after all, it had played the role of a big black dog for so many years. Like other pets, it was used to snuggling up to its master.
At night, when Jiang Tian was asleep, it ran to the bed at Jiang Tian's feet. However, it was in a deep sleep. It dispersed the restraint of the Shapeshifting Skill and turned into the true dragon!
In a short time, he had outlined the general process of the matter.
Facing the panic-stricken black-robed man, Jiang Tian smiled and said, "How can you enter without asking for permission?"
The scene in front of him was in a trance. The real dragon was no longer there, but a big black dog. However, the black-robed man was still frightened and instinctively shook his head.
"You, you have no cultivation at all. How can you be protected by the Ninth True Dragon?"
He felt that he had to know the reason before he died.
Jiang Tian sat down and said with a smile, "You might not believe it, but I used to be an expert of my generation. Because I was facing a bottleneck and couldn't break through, after thinking about it, I finally understood that cutting off my greatest reliance, which was my strength, was the shortcut to see my true self. As for the protection of the Nine Heavens True Dragon, it was because it was a pet I took in when I was still a cultivator."
"I want to experience the feeling of a mortal without cultivation. Even if it kills me, don't come out to help!"
He waved his hand, and Dahei left and returned to his room.
"Bluff! Deliberately mystifying things!"
The black-robed man was stunned, and then he laughed uncontrollably, which woke several people. After a long time, he gasped and said,
"You must have scared me with illusion. There's no Ninth Heaven Purple Gold True Dragon. It's just a black dog! "
"Do you think I am stupid? How can I be an idiot? Haha, this joke.. "
"I am such an idiot …"
Jiang he thought..
"Only by destroying my own martial arts can I see my true self? "Haha, self destruction is the only way to die …"
The black-robed man continued to laugh, "All cultivators understand that the most real reliance in the world is the strength that is cultivated bit by bit. How can you give it up to see your true self?"
Jiang Tian thought for a while and said, "Haotian Taoism once divided the tribulations into many categories. There are different kinds of Thunder Tribulations, Tribulations of Yin Wind and Earth Fire, Tribulations of Man involving karma, Tribulations of Three Lives related to the past and future, and Void Tribulations when you suddenly lose all your Divine Sense and Dharma Power. At that time, can you still rely on your cultivation? Once you encounter the Void Tribulations, will you just wait for death and not for yourself? "
"That's different. If it's a tribulation, you can prepare treasures to block it, invite friends to protect you, and make a perfect plan. As long as you get through that period, you will naturally recover. It's not the same as destroying your own cultivation to find the illusory true self."
The black-robed man shook his head and sneered. He still felt that this master, who was protected by Gods and Buddhas, was joking with him.
There must be a master with great Divine Sense who could make him unaware of his martial arts. But how could there be a master who would do such a stupid thing as destroying his own cultivation?
Jiang Tian said seriously, "What if the Void Tribulations last for one year, five years, or even ten years?"
"How can there be such a long tribulation?" The black-robed man didn't believe it at all.
Jiang Tian didn't argue and said with a smile,
"Aren't I the same as what you said? I can get the protection of the Ninth Heaven Purple Gold True Dragon, have treasures that can automatically protect me, and if I want to do something, there are not many people in the world who are willing to help me and not abandon me because of the loss of my strength. I just need to know myself again, know the world, and adjust the habits that came from cultivation. What's the difference between this and the Void Tribulations? "
"But others can recover once the tribulation is over. Destroying one's own cultivation is a slim hope. It's more like giving up on oneself."
The black-robed man still couldn't accept this choice.
For a martial arts cultivator, strength is life, strength is everything!
Jiang Tian didn't answer directly. Instead, he looked out of the window and pointed to the floating mountains of the Luoying Sect and said,
"When I had cultivation, I could walk in the sky and go to the Luoying Sect that is tens of thousands of miles away was just a matter of time. Now, if I want to go there, I can either ask for help or find a refining sect and use their ingenious magical artifacts to travel."
Then, he pointed to the dark mountain peak again.
"Look at the steep mountain peak over there. When I had cultivation, it was just a step. Now, if I want to climb up, I have to be prepared and cross mountains and rivers to get there."
"In the past, when I wanted to do something, I could do it myself. Even if I was far away, I could do it from a distance. Now, I have to take a detour and waste people's time."
"Many of my past experiences, habits, and cognition collapsed in front of my eyes with the loss of my cultivation. I have to reconstruct them to match the current situation. So, I have to understand what the pattern is and what the outside is. I have to rely on them but not rely on them. I have to be limited by them and cover my 'eyes' …"
His voice was low and his tone was normal. He described all kinds of changes that seemed to be natural.
The black-robed man was in disbelief at first, but gradually, he fell into deep thought. It seemed that there was some truth in what he said.
He responded from time to time.
Jiang Tian continued to talk. Unknowingly, the east was slightly bright and the sky was burning.
The black-robed man suddenly frowned and said, "You said so much. Are you trying to persuade me to seal my cultivation and become a mortal like you?"
"No, I'm just comforting myself."
Jiang Tian laughed self-deprecatingly and waved his hand.
"The Eyes of Innocence is a Daoist supernatural power. It focuses on the unity of the body and mind and not being blinded by desire. Even if you master it, if you let it go, you will regress. Take care of yourself."
"You're right, Sir!"
The black-robed man did not dare to disobey and retreated out of the cabin. All kinds of desires in his heart had long disappeared after listening to the lecture in the fog.
There were many people who woke up early in the morning. They were talking and laughing. The morning fog was thin and the sun was shining brightly.
The black-robed man seemed to wake up with a start and said to himself in shock,
"What did I do? Where am I?"
"Did I just listen to that lunatic talk nonsense for the entire night?"
"And I feel that what he said makes sense … Didn't I want to rob and rob? How could I forget! "
