There was an uproar within ten thousand miles. Everyone thought that Zhushan Laozu would refute with all kinds of benefits of the orthodox Daoism's Primordial Spirit, but he just casually admitted that the lifespan of the orthodox Daoism's Primordial Spirit was far inferior to that of the so-called "Outer Dao" cultivation method that everyone was cultivating.
"Although the orthodox Daoism cultivation method points to a true longevity without decay or tribulation, it is extremely difficult. In the entire Vast Thousand Worlds, in the past hundreds of thousands of years, there are only a handful of cultivators who can reach that step, or even none." Some cultivators shuddered at the thought of the difficulty of passing through so many obstacles and becoming a half-step Golden Immortal.
"Heh, don't think so far ahead. I believe that the obstacle of the Upper Grade Golden Core will stop most of you here. How can it compare to the Golden Core Realm with sufficient materials and good talent? We all have a lifespan of 600 years, and no one is worse than anyone else! "A Jindan Grandmaster sneered.
"Alas, not to mention the illusory orthodox Primordial Spirit. No matter how I listen to it, it sounds unfathomable and mysterious. But in the end, it's still talking about opportunities. Damn it, how do I know where to find opportunities? And what are those opportunities?!" Another cultivator sighed and said angrily.
"Even if one has achieved the Primordial Spirit, he will still have to endure the oppression of the Heavenly Tribulations and Blight Tribulations. He can't even live a free and unfettered life for one or two thousand years. Isn't it worse than the flawed Primordial Spirit Perfected Masters of the major sects?! They can live for at least tens of thousands of years, or even hundreds of thousands of years! "Some of them looked at the Primordial Spirit Perfected Masters on the mountain peak with envy.
"Those Perfected Masters who have passed through several Heavenly Tribulations and even Blight Tribulations may not live for twenty or thirty thousand years. Why do they have to work so hard and take so many risks?!" A cultivator who was particularly puzzled about this path said.
"What do you mean by opening the door to the Great Tao?! Bullsh * t! Bullsh * t! "Because Shi Xuan admitted it casually, many cultivators secretly cursed in their divine senses.
"I think those who choose the orthodox Daoism path are definitely fools!"
"Yes! Who would choose this path if they are not fools?! It's difficult and dangerous, and the benefits are few. How can it be compared to the ease and simplicity of the current cultivation technique? "
Of course, there were also quite a few cultivators who laughed without saying a word. "You fellows, feel disappointed and angry, but it's best if you leave immediately. Last time, Zhushan Laozu preached the Dao for nearly eighty years. He eliminated many cultivators with weak wills and no immortal fate before teaching the Primordial Spirit Great Dao. Should I tell you that this is most likely a test?! "
…
Numerous cultivators discussed animatedly at the same time, and it was like a myriad of flies had suddenly appeared in an area of 5,000km. Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! It was extremely clamorous, and it completely destroyed the dreamy beauty of the scene of flowers falling from the sky and multicolored lights scattering down.
The Primordial Spirit Perfected Masters and Dharma Realm Perfected Masters on the top of Zhushan Mountain could still control their emotions on the surface and did not curse out of disappointment. First, they had to respect their identities. Second, Zhushan Laozu was right in front of them. If he was unhappy, they would be turned into ashes. However, they heard the discussion below clearly and agreed with it. If that was really the case, those who chose the orthodox Daoism's Primordial Spirit Great Dao must be stupid fools and fools!
Even many cultivators under the Bamboo Mountain Sect had similar thoughts and nodded endlessly in their hearts.
However, they were all experienced cultivators, and they also felt that this might be a deliberate test from Zhushan Laozu.
"You may think that I was bluffing to scare you, but everything I said is true. The path of the orthodox Daoism's Primordial Spirit Great Dao is full of thorns and dangers. Before reaching the goal, the benefits of lifespan are not as good as those of the Outer Daoism's techniques. You can't compare it to the shortcut of only needing a handwritten decree from I to greatly increase your strength and enjoy 20,000 to 30,000 years of lifespan." Shi Xuan's voice was calm and emotionless.
Then, in the same tone, Shi Xuan roughly explained what the Four Heavenly Tribulations and Five Heavenly Tribulations were, and why the Outer Daoism's techniques could only undergo the first Heavenly Tribulation after tens of thousands of years or even hundreds of thousands of years. In the end, he said, "This time, I will only teach the orthodox Daoism. Don't think about the God Investiture Talisman."
All the living beings were shocked that Zhushan Laozu could greatly increase one's strength and enjoy 20,000 to 30,000 years of lifespan with just a handwritten decree. Isn't it too heaven-defying?! They even began to imagine that if they could please the old man, would they be able to reach the sky in a single bound? Sell themselves as slaves? Recommend themselves to sleep with him? All kinds of thoughts reverberated in their minds.
However, before these thoughts could ferment, they were shattered by Shi Xuan's following words. His explanation was reasonable and had no flaws. It seemed that everything that happened just now was not a test but a fact. The so-called orthodox Daoism's Primordial Spirit Great Dao was simply worthless!
"It's simply a path prepared for fools!"
"Who would choose this path that is obviously much more difficult and has a slim chance of survival if they are a little smarter and have some self-awareness?!"
…
Disappointed and angry voices sounded. Although they didn't dare to shout out loud due to Zhushan Laozu's powerful cultivation, they couldn't help but vent in a low voice. However, there were many cultivators and mortals present, and their voices eventually converged into a tsunami. Only a few hundred people were quietly thinking and making a difficult choice.
…
Shi Xuan looked around and waved his sleeve. All the living beings within a radius of 10,000 miles flew backward involuntarily like tumbling waves. In a breath's time, there was no one on top of Zhushan Mountain. Just now, the sects at the top of the mountain had gone to the middle of the mountain, and the cultivators at the middle of the mountain had gone to the foot of the mountain … and so on.
"Those who are willing to be I's disciple and cultivate the orthodox Daoism's Primordial Spirit Technique, please come to the top of the mountain." A grand and solemn voice sounded in every cultivator's mind.
With a wave of his sleeve, all the Perfected Beings and cultivators were sent flying backward without any resistance. Zhushan Laozu's omnipotent power and boundless supernatural power became clear to them. Envious of this powerful power, many cultivators immediately walked out.
But after taking a few steps, their feverish minds calmed down. They thought of all the difficulties and trials, and remembered that their lifespan was not as long as their current cultivation technique. So, they wanted to retreat again and stopped on the spot, causing a lot of sneers.
Masato Hori stood up and walked towards the top of the mountain. He thought, The road ahead is so vast and so great. It's much better than the road I've reached now! And the supernatural power and supernatural power are so terrifying and powerful! It's really fascinating!
After taking seven steps, his footsteps gradually became heavy. If I can't cultivate, I'll die!
Maybe I won't even be able to form the Primordial Spirit, and I'll die in just a thousand years! Although I'm stuck now, I can still live for at least forty to fifty thousand years!
He walked slower and slower, and the cold sweat that should have disappeared long ago appeared on his forehead again. He asked himself, Do I have the confidence to form a superior-grade Gold Core? Do I have the confidence to form the Primordial Spirit? Do I have the confidence to pass the fourth heaven's calamity? Do I have the confidence to pass the fifth heaven's calamity?!
He could answer the first question with certainty, but he was a little hesitant and his confidence was shaken. As for the third and fourth questions, he couldn't answer them at all.
He let out a long roar and staggered back, thinking to himself, I'm not a fool! Why wouldn't anyone with a bit of intelligence choose this path?! "
The expression on Daoist Master Wu Mu's ferocious face changed again and again. Although he was often tortured by the pain and hidden dangers brought about by the flaws in his cultivation technique and was like a nightmare, at least he was still alive, and he could live for tens of thousands of years! So, he sighed and closed his eyes, not getting up again.
The Primordial Spirit Daoist master under Zhushan, Zhantang, got up and sat down, sat down and stood up again, repeatedly.
It was really difficult for him to give up his current lifespan of nearly 100,000 years to pursue the illusory Great Way of the Primordial Spirit. Moreover, he was a lazy cat and was quite satisfied with his current life. So, in the end, he kowtowed nine times on top of Zhushan's head and sat down again.
Yingzi and Monarch Yellow Mountain had activated their ancient bloodlines after practicing their cultivation technique. Although they hadn't reached the Primordial Spirit Realm yet, they still had nearly 10,000 years of lifespan. So, after hesitating for a long time, they decided to continue on the path of Primordial Spirit.
Cultivators above the Qi Drawing Realm had their own ideas, but without exception, they all chose the current cultivation technique.
Seeing that no one was going up the mountain, they suddenly felt relieved for some reason.
"No, someone is going to the top of the mountain!" Just as they felt relieved, two figures appeared on the road from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, walking up step by step.
"It's Zhushan's Primordial Spirit Daoist master Xia Jing and Dharma Daoist master Zhao Xingfan!"
"Fools, two big fools!"
"Being able to cultivate to such a realm, how can they be so stupid? What a pity for those materials!"
For a moment, the sound of ridicule and abuse filled the surrounding thousands of miles, and people were calling them fools. This made those cultivators and mortals below the Magical Power Realm, who wouldn't suffer any losses no matter which path they chose, hesitate. They didn't want to be treated as fools! Quite a few hundred people who were ready to give it a try were scared back.
Only Zhuang Yukun, who didn't have any other cultivation technique, stood up and walked toward Zhushan. Unfortunately, he was still far away from Zhushan, and he didn't have any cultivation, so he couldn't get there in a short time.
…
On the road from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, Xia Jing and Zhao Xingfan frowned slightly as they listened to the continuous mocking and calling them fools behind them.
For the past six hundred years, Xia Jing had been thinking about the path of the Great Way described by Shi Xuan day and night. She had been yearning for it for a long time. Now that she knew that there were many obstacles and that she might not succeed even if she sacrificed the remaining tens of thousands of years of her lifespan, she gradually settled her thoughts when she recalled her life. In the beginning, she was attracted by the brilliance and beauty of the Way. Later on, she was captivated by the profoundness of the Way itself. She wanted to know more and explore more. Hence, she stood up and walked towards the peak of the mountain.
Zhao Xingfan's thoughts were very simple. His life was coming to an end, and now that he had a chance to reincarnate, why would he care so much? After all, the orthodox Primordial Spirit path wasn't a dead end, so compared to Xia Jing, the mockery, abuse, and calling him a fool annoyed and angered him. He was ashamed and ashamed, and his steps became heavy and difficult.
Fortunately, he had Xia Jing by his side, so he persevered until the top of the mountain.
Shi Xuan didn't stop the noise below. Instead, he looked at the two of them and said, "Have you thought about it? Do you really want to practice orthodox Daoism? If it's just to reincarnate and prolong your life, I don't mind helping you once since only the two of you came up. "
Before Xia Jing could answer, Zhao Xingfan knelt down and said, "Master, please understand, disciple only wants to reincarnate." In his next life, he might become an heretic Primordial Spirit!
The mockery and abuse within ten thousand miles suddenly stopped. Many cultivators who didn't have much life left thought to themselves, "This guy is so cunning, I have to go too!" But they found that they couldn't move at all, and could only watch as Zhushan went up the mountain.
"Okay, you step aside first. Let I ask Xia Jing first, then we can attack together." Shi Xuan asked Zhao Xingfan to stand far away, and turned to look at Xia Jing.
Xia Jing smiled and said, "Master, disciple still has tens of thousands of years of life left. I'm not here to reincarnate."
Shi Xuan nodded and said, "Then you kneel down."
Xia Jing knelt down, and the mockery and abuse sounded again. Idiot, idiot, big idiot! This made her a little sad and a little bit tormented.
Then, all the cultivators saw a purple flying sword appear in Zhushan Laozu's hand. It was shining brilliantly, and it was extremely sharp. Just looking at it made people feel like they were being pierced by thousands of swords. "What a flying sword magic treasure! It's better than ordinary magic treasures! "
Zi Ying Sword was pointed between Xia Jing's eyebrows, and the sharp Sword Qi made her hair stand. Shi Xuan said slowly, "To join my sect, you need to be able to foresee. The path of Primordial Spirit is full of hardships and dangers, and it's very difficult. Those who can be firm on the path and become a high-grade Gold Core are one in a thousand. Those who can cut through the whims and step through the threshold of life and death are one in ten thousand. Those who can live a long life and never decline are few.
"Those who enter this path are often in pain and suffering, often lonely and unbearable, and often die by the roadside without anyone knowing. This is not something a normal person can do. Do you accept it?"
His voice was loud, majestic, and sacred. More and more immortal flowers fell, and they became more and more beautiful. The colorful light became even brighter.
