Upper Clear Shenxiao World, Dubhe Peak, Ends of the Earth Building.
It had been a hundred years since Ming Qingyue and Xie Fangwei had gone through the third Heaven's Tribulation. Both of them had stabilized their realms and were cultivating the Celestial Arts, so they were left to guard the sect.
When the feeling of being stripped of time and black and white disappeared, the two of them looked at each other and smiled. They understood that Shi Xuan had gone through the fourth Deva's Blight and became the highest existence in the Lord Of Heaven, second only to the incarnation of the Great Dao, Daozu, and the unfailing Daoist. He was second to none in the countless Vast Thousand Worlds nearby. Ming Qingyue's beautiful hair was casually draped over her shoulders.
Ming Qingyue's beautiful hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Two small and cute dragon horns protruded from her satin black hair. The mysterious talismans on them had completely integrated into her body and could no longer be seen. Just by looking at them attentively, there would be a feeling of rippling water, like the galaxy, and also like time. She looked at the direction of Phecda Peak and smiled sincerely, "There are not many people in the universe who have passed through the Decline of Lifespan in just thirty-seven years. Furthermore, Tai Ban is a sword cultivator with no regrets. When we entered the sect together, I never thought that Shi Xuan would be so brave and diligent. He is the first person in Yu Yu Heaven since ancient times."
Xie Fangwei was gentle and leisurely. He was not worried about the fourth Heaven's Tribulation at all. Firstly, he had just gone through the Nine Fires Burning Heart Tribulation and was still far away from the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Tribulation. Secondly, Zhenren who could reach this step would have confidence in themselves. Moreover, in these two thousand years, he had combined the Shenxiao Cave Truth Treasured Scripture to verify his own cultivation method and had gained a lot. He laughed, "If it wasn't for the fact that Junior Brother Shi did not kill many people along the way, I would have thought that you were another Daoist Yu Jing."
Shi Xuan was not a sword cultivator, neither was Daoist Yu Jing. Shi Xuan had the Celestial Slaying, World Slaying, and Dharma Slaying, while Daoist Yu Jing had the Slaying, Extinction, Trapping, and Piercing Flying Swords. Moreover, both of them had advanced by leaps and bounds. They were both from the Human Race of Yu Yutian, so people could not help but compare them. However, compared to Daoist Yu Jing, whom I killed with one sword, Shi Xuan lacked the spirit of looking down on the void and being able to slay everything. Of course, this was the fundamental cultivation method and the difference in temperament, so it was not important.
"Moreover, due to the explosion of the Cosmic Clock, a lot of time was saved. The time taken by Shi Xuan to reach the fourth tribulation Lord Of Heaven was less than that of Daoist Yu Jing," Ming Qingyue responded with a smile.
Xie Fangwei nodded. Looking at the entrance of the Ends of the Earth Tower, he joked, "In the past, among the sixteen generations of disciples of our sect, I was considered to have entered the sect early. Now, Shi Xuan is only one step away from becoming a Daoist Lord without Decay or Tribulation, while I am one step away from becoming a Celestial Being. We are both one step away, but the difference is like heaven and earth."
"However, the Decline of Daoist Heart that I am about to face is much more difficult than the Godly Thunder Tribulation of the Nine Heavens." Shi Xuan walked in with a smile. His green robe was the same as before. Ripples of time spread out around him, giving off a dreamy feeling. It was because he had not mastered the ability to control time, so he could not completely restrain it.
Ming Qingyue and Xie Fangwei said in unison, "Congratulations to True Lord Shi for passing through the Decline of Lifespan. You are only one step away from becoming a true immortal."
Their voices were filled with joy and worry brought about by Shi Xuan's words just now. The fourth tribulation Lord Of Heaven was very rare. There were less than ten thousand of them in the entire Void Universe. But the half-step Golden Immortals were even rarer, less than nine hundred. Moreover, most of the half-step Golden Immortals had existed since prehistoric times, primordial times, and ancient times. Only after accumulating for a long time could there be such a number. Even if those half-step Golden Immortals who died in the battle of the Great Dao were taken into account, the ratio of the fourth tribulation Lord Of Heaven to half-step Golden Immortals was still frighteningly low. One could imagine the difficulty and horror.
Ming Qingyue and Xie Fangwei both knew Shi Xuan before they entered the sect. They had a deep friendship, so how could they not be worried?
Shi Xuan sat cross-legged casually. In front of the two, he did not need to be particular. "The decline of the Taoist Heart begins at the end of a green apple. It is difficult to grasp and difficult to detect. I can only reflect on my heart from time to time. There is no chance to talk about this, and no fortuitous encounter can offset it. In this respect, it is indeed comparable to the difficulty of forming the Primordial Spirit."
There were only so many records about the decline of the Taoist Heart in the Treasure Record. Shi Xuan often tried to figure it out, but he was confused. In the face of friends like Ming Qingyue and Xie Fangwei, who could let down their guard, he naturally spoke casually. "Fortunately, although the decline of the Taoist Heart is ethereal and unpredictable, according to the records of many ancient books, at least in the first thousand years, there is no need to worry about it. Hehe, speaking of which, among the disciples of our sixteenth generation, there is a Lord Of Heaven and two Zhenren, who are far better than the disciples of the other generations."
The arrival of the decline of the Taoist Heart was never something that could be triggered by one's own family. It was really difficult to prepare in advance. Even if it was triggered by the attack of the Deva's Fifth Blight recorded in Shen Chenxi's Inextinguishable Taoist Treasured Scripture, it would still not work. That was because that was the stage where the real outbreak would be difficult to return to. It was not the part where the power of the Blight attacked the mind. Relying on it to determine the arrival of the decline of the Taoist Heart was suicidal.
On the decline of the Taoist Heart in the Treasured Record, there was a secret treasure called the Tao Te Ching. After it was combined with one's own aura, it would trigger the mind at the moment when the Blight really broke out, causing Shi Xuan to have a moment of clarity. As for what happened after that, all the Taoists and Daozu who had gone through the decline of the Taoist Heart had never mentioned it. They did not even talk about how to sharpen the Taoist Heart after the decline of their lifespan. It seemed that once the content was known, either the cultivator himself would have a cognitive barrier, or the Blight would undergo terrifying changes and become more difficult than before.
Regarding this point, Lady Yu once said to Shi Xuan, "There was once a Lord Of Heaven who had gone through the Four Tribulations. By chance, he obtained the essays left by a fallen Taoist Lord, which contained a few sentences about the decline of the Taoist Heart. Therefore, he thought that he had found the key and had been carefully sharpening his Taoist Heart. However, strangely, the decline of the Taoist Heart did not appear. It was not until he passed away in the quiet room ten thousand years later that he suddenly realized that his cautiousness and carefulness were the manifestations of his own Taoist Heart's decline. Therefore, if I told you, I would be harming you instead. Moreover, after my reincarnation, the decline of the Taoist Heart that I have to experience is much more difficult than yours."
Reincarnation wasn't always a smooth-sailing process. Otherwise, countless Daofathers and Daolords would choose to be reincarnated. Only those who were truly determined, decisive, and wise would not fear such things. Only those who truly stood at the very top would be able to ascend to the clouds.
More than two hundred years ago, after knowing that the Life-and-Death Daozu had interfered in this matter, Lady Yu sighed as if she had expected it. "Daozu's power is far beyond your imagination. If you hadn't gone to the Nine Nether and passed the Life-and-Death Daozu's test, your secret would have been exposed long ago. This is the tribulation related to the Nine Nether that I mentioned. If you didn't rely on it, you wouldn't have been able to survive. Speaking of which, I was probably secretly influenced by the Life-and-Death Daozu at that time, which was why I could calculate these things. You have already survived the Three Calamities and Three Tribulations. As for what kind of calamities and tribulations there will be, it's not something I can calculate. "
Regarding the Five Elements Daozu Kong Ji's plan, the Life-and-Death Daozu and Gautama Buddha couldn't see it. Naturally, Lady Yu couldn't figure it out either. She only confirmed that the Five Elements and Yin and Yang were not opposite Dao Seeds. Besides, she smiled and reminded, "From his name, you can tell that the Scarlet Emperor cultivated in the Fire Elemental Technique. Hehe, his' Burning Realm Real Fire 'used to be known as the number one fire. For such a person to suddenly have a fortuitous encounter on the Acquired Fire Elemental Great Dao and understand the true meaning of fire, if it wasn't a real coincidence, who in the Myriad Heavens and Ten Thousand Worlds would have such a skill?"
"The Five Elements Daozu." At that time, Shi Xuan said these four words silently. The Acquired Fire Elemental Great Dao and the Four Symbols Great Dao had not been combined by anyone. "What is the Old Peacock planning?"
As many memories flashed through his mind, Shi Xuan heard Ming Qingyue reply with a smile, "If it weren't for you, Shi Xuan, us disciples of the 16th generation and the later generations wouldn't have any advantage. Just your family's disciples alone have two Three-tribulation Yang God Immortals. By the way, are you going to travel after a thousand years? Then you have to be careful. I don't know how many people are coveting the Nine Nether. "
"I've read the records in the ancient books. Some of those Dao Lords and Daozu have gone out to travel, sharpened their Dao Heart, and passed the Blight Tribulation. Some never left the sect, but they still became half-step Golden Immortals. The Blight of Dao Heart is really strange and inexplicable." Xie Fangwei echoed. The Nine Nether's matter involved many people.
Shi Xuan smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. They won't dare to do it themselves. After all, they have to worry about whether it's the Life and Death Daozu's way of luring the snake out of its hole. The more a person has lived for a long time, the more careful they will be in this matter. Otherwise, if they are not careful, who knows how many years of cultivation will be destroyed. As for indirect probing, the danger is much smaller."
At that time, the Left Saint Emperor Robe took the initiative to attack when he had the upper hand. Even Shi Xuan himself did not know what the Life and Death Daozu was planning to do. Did he want to lure the snake out of its hole, eliminate the hidden danger, and then kill the Nirvana Daoist before reincarnating? Or did he already reincarnated and prepared everything to confuse the Nirvana Daoist. So he did not care about the other big shots who did not know that the Book of Life and Death had projected itself in their minds.
After chatting for a while, Shi Xuan returned to the Phecda Peak and began to practice the visualization method of 'Opening the Void'. At the same time, he divided his thoughts to refine the 'Tao Te Ching' needed 'Aura of Epiphany'. However, before leaving the Ends of the Earth Tower, Shi Xuan said to Ming Qingyue thoughtfully, "Qingyue, after you have cultivated the Immortal Technique, why not go to the depths of the periphery of the West Wilderness."
Ming Qingyue was very curious, but seeing that Shi Xuan was not willing to say it clearly, she guessed that it was a heavenly secret that he had calculated, so she smiled and nodded.
…
The Land of Treasures, Yunliu City, Iron Sword Clan.
As a disciple who had just entered the clan, apart from the basic Qi Cultivation Method, Xiang Bao was qualified to choose a sword art from the Tower of Classics.
"Give me a piece of Lower Grade Spirit Stone, and I can give you a few pointers, lest you choose a sword art that is inferior to others." The senior disciple guarding the Tower of Classics stretched out his hand without hesitation.
Xiang Bao was a child of ten years old, and he was also born in a poor family. Apart from a piece of Lower Grade Spirit Stone when he entered the clan, he had nothing else. Moreover, he was stubborn, so he firmly shook his head and said, "No."
"Then you pick one yourself, pauper." The senior disciple said sarcastically. The Iron Sword Clan used the sword as their name, so they had collected countless sword arts. At the same time, he secretly moved out the sword art that no one else could practice except for Grandmaster Tao. It was a sword art that could only be learned by ordinary disciples from a true disciple.
Xiang Bao did not care about it and searched for a long time in the Tower of Classics. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, because there was a sword art that was placed alone, and its name was quite resounding and full of immortal Qi. 'Immortal-gifted Starry Sword'!
