Xia Jing was lost in her thoughts. If she was a new cultivator who had just embarked on the path of Taoism, she would not take it seriously even if Shi Xuan described the Primordial Spirit Dao as difficult and dangerous. After all, she had never heard of it or experienced it personally. She would naturally think that she was the luckiest one and the most special one.
However, she had cultivated for many years and experienced many hardships before she achieved the Primordial Spirit Dao of the heretic path. She could feel the hardships and dangers contained in the words, "Only one in a thousand can be firm in the path of Taoism and achieve the upper-grade Jindan. Only one in ten thousand can cut through the whims and step on the threshold of life and death. Only a few can live a long life and have no disasters."
Moreover, Shi Xuan had made it clear before that this path of Primordial Spirit Dao was a hundred or even a thousand times more difficult than the path of the heretic path. How could she not feel a little uneasy and inexplicable hesitation?
Moreover, she was an heretic Primordial Spirit Zhenren. The discussion between the Zhenren and the cultivators just now had already made it clear which was longer in terms of lifespan. She also understood it clearly. Therefore, although Shi Xuan's question was simple and did not contain any mana or supernatural power, it was still like a heavy mountain pressing on her heart with so many foreshadowing.
Although the orthodox Primordial Spirit Dao was extremely difficult and not good, it could point directly to the Dao. It was vast and mysterious and fascinating. Xia Jing opened her mouth and wanted to say something several times. Finally, it turned into a firm and low voice, "I am willing to uphold it."
Although her voice was low, it seemed to echo in the Boundless World, suppressing the cursing and mocking voices from thousands of miles away. They were inexplicably shocked and could only curse in their hearts, "What a living fool!"
Waves of celestial music and singing sounded on top of Zhushan and spread to the surroundings. It was sweet and beautiful, cleansing people's hearts. On the ground, bowl-sized golden lotuses emerged and slowly bloomed. They were solemn, brilliant, beautiful, and fragrant.
For a moment, golden lotuses bloomed on top of Zhushan. Heavenly flowers fell from the sky, wonderful sounds were heard, and colorful light shone. It was like a paradise, amazing and fascinating.
Shi Xuan did not take back Zi Ying Sword. Instead, he spoke louder and more solemnly, "You are often criticized when you walk on this path. People insult you, curse you, belittle you, despise you, and despise you. Your friends doubt you, hate you, and see you as an alien. No one walks with you. Do you uphold it?"
The cursing and mocking voices were still ringing in her ears. The puzzled, doubted, and rejected eyes of Zhushan's disciples. However, after answering the first question, Xia Jing only felt relaxed as if a heavy burden was lifted. She answered solemnly, "I am willing to uphold it!"
Following these words, golden lamps, golden flowers, and strands of auspicious aura appeared in the air, illuminating the top of the bamboo mountain in a splendid, sacred, and splendid manner.
The cultivators on the ground were speechless. Even the curses in their minds gradually subsided due to the dizziness and shock.
Shi Xuan raised his voice again, as if he was shouting, "Those who enter this path are often tempted. There are the simple Pure Yang treasures that allow one to enjoy a lifespan of hundreds of thousands of years. There are also the Path of Conferring Deity Position that allows one to enjoy a lifespan of tens or hundreds of thousands of years. There are also the Path of Conferring Deity Position that allows one to enjoy a lifespan of tens or hundreds of thousands of years. There are also the Path of Conferring Deity Position that allows one to enjoy a lifespan of tens or hundreds of thousands of years.
"I am willing to uphold it!" Xia Jing also answered loudly. She sounded very determined.
"Good. You can receive the inheritance of I." After three questions, Shi Xuan finally nodded and praised her.
As soon as he finished speaking, it was as if a grand bell rang in the air, spreading everywhere and shaking everyone's heart. It was as if there was a looming door floating above the bamboo mountain, profound and mysterious. It was as if there were many goddesses in rainbow-colored clothes singing and dancing, beautiful beyond compare …
Yellow spots of light appeared out of nowhere. They were vast and solemn. The spots of light covered Zhushan and flew toward Shi Xuan's palm.
At the same time, countless jasper flowers formed by the great fortune fell silently like rain and fused with Xia Jing's primordial spirit. It turned the entire Zhushan into a sea of immortal flowers. It was white with gold, silver, green, red, and purple colors. All the flowers bloomed, all the withered grass was green, and all the spring water was gurgling … It was like a paradise on earth.
This was the joy of the Boundless World's origin.
Immersed in this scene, the Perfected Ones and cultivators could not help but feel a little lost. It was as if they had missed a precious treasure.
The phenomenon lasted for a quarter of an hour before it gradually disappeared. Then, Zhushan Laozu said, "There are many cultivators and mortals who are below the realm of divinity. They wanted to come up but were too late. Now, stay at the mountainside of Zhushan for other arrangements. The rest of you, please leave Zhushan. I have matters to attend to and will not be able to send you off."
Wen Nixi looked deeply at Shi Xuan. She had thought of standing out before. After all, Shi Shi's strength was well-known. If she could receive his inheritance, she would enjoy endless benefits and be able to suppress all Primordial Spirit Perfected Ones.
However, she had finally become a Primordial Spirit. Although she had to control her emotions, she still had a lifespan of tens of thousands of years. Moreover, she was quite strong. Therefore, after much consideration, she chose to stay. The orthodox Primordial Spirit technique was like a big cake drawn by Shi Shi. Not only was it illusory, but it was also not beautiful. How could it attract anyone?!
Zhantang the Embroidered Jade Cat brought Zhushan's disciples to their feet and asked sadly, "Master, do we have to leave too?"
"Since you call I 'Master', consider it as I's' outside the sect '. Zhushan will leave a peak for all of you. You may leave to inherit it on your own," Shi Xuan said flatly.
Zhantang, Yingzi, and the other cultivators from the major sects who had yet to leave were puzzled. Zhushan only had one peak. Why did Zhushan Laozu say that he would leave a peak for them?
Just as this thought flashed through his mind, without any warning, the earth rumbled. The nearby plains, hills, and Bamboo Mountain rose from the ground and rose steadily. In the blink of an eye, a towering mountain with steep peaks and clear springs appeared outside Anxi City. Then, the earth trembled again, and the mountain became filled with spiritual Qi. Shrouded in white mist, it was faintly discernible.
The birds, beasts, fish, and insects that were eating grass, drinking water, and flying on the ground seemed to be unaware of the change. They continued their own activities and did not know that they were in a high mountain.
The cultivators and mortals who were sitting cross-legged on the plains and hills were the same. They only came to their senses when the Fairy Mountain was built. They even felt that they were in a dream and patted the soil and rocks under them to confirm it.
Looking at this scene, Masato Hori, Immortal Jinluo, Immortal Ebony, Zhantang, and even Zhenren Jingyue and Wen Nianxi could not control their emotions. They opened their mouths slightly and could not close them.
"The Creation Power of Heaven and Earth! It's amazing! Does the Primordial Spirit Sect really have such terrifying power? "The same thought emerged in their shocked hearts.
Many cultivators felt regret. Even if their lifespan was shorter, they would still be extremely free to have such power. But on second thought, they remembered that to be able to reach the realm of immortals like Zhushan Laozu, who had gone through countless Heavenly Tribulations and Degeneration Tribulations, it was extremely difficult and one in a million. It was not something they could do! Then they felt relieved.
As for those cultivators who were below the realm of Magical Power, they could choose whichever path they wanted. Besides, they had never experienced the torment and pain of lingering at the Complete Spirit Realm but unable to achieve the Superior Grade Jindan. Therefore, they were divided into two groups. Those who were rich and had prepared enough materials to advance to the realm of Magical Power would naturally choose the easier path. Those who were poor and dejected and the realm of Magical Power were prepared to stay and beg Zhushan Laozu to take them in. As for the hundreds who wanted to go to the top of the mountain, they were happy. Even if they could only learn ten to twenty percent of Zhushan Laozu's skills, they would still be able to understand the world!
Shi Xuan stretched out his hand and drew in the air. Four elegant seal characters appeared on the highest peak of Zhushan: "Penglai House".
"Could it be that Zhushan Laozu is a Penglai or an immortal from the Penglai Faction in the Celestial World? How many immortals with his cultivation level are there? " Curiosity, doubt, a sense of loss, faint regret, disappointment, and many other emotions were mixed together. The sects brought their disciples back.
Although they were disappointed, they also knew that they had benefited a lot from this trip. With the orthodox Daoism tempering method of mind, it would be easier to pass the stages of Dharma and Primordial Spirit. Therefore, before they left, they solemnly bowed to express their gratitude.
"Fortunately, they bowed today. Otherwise, it would be difficult to escape the calamity in the future." After waiting for a long time after they left, Shi Xuan half-jokingly said to Xia Jing. Xia Jing's luck was very terrifying. The difference between her and an ordinary Primordial Spirit Venerable was even greater than the difference between Young Master Duotian and those of the same level.
Xia Jing looked confused. She had no idea why her teacher would say such a thing. "What calamity will they face?" After the white viburnum flowers fused with her Primordial Spirit, she had a feeling that heaven and earth were on her side.
Shi Xuan smiled but did not say anything. Instead, he said to Zhushan's disciples, "You can choose any mountain. By the way, send away those who are lingering."
Zhantang immediately got up and left. He sent away all those who wanted to ask Zhushan Laozu to take them in.
Shi Xuan asked the hundreds of cultivators and mortals who were waiting at the mountainside to come up together. The little boy, Zhuang Yukun, walked at the front.
"Greetings, Immortal Zhushan." They knelt together.
Shi Xuan nodded. "Above Zhushan, find your own mountain to live on. I will stay here for the next few years. I will preach on the first day and answer questions on the fifteenth day. As for the private cultivation, it's all up to you." Shi Xuan planned to copy Penglai's method during the ten years of watching over Xia Jing's reincarnation.
Except for a few peerless geniuses and the reincarnated mighty figures, most cultivators' initial temperament was not too good. Even Shi Xuan was one of them. If he had encountered the temptation of being conferred as a god, he would not have been able to resist.
However, cultivation itself was a process of sharpening, tempering, and improving one's temperament. Only in this process could the heart of an 'ordinary person' be polished into the heart of an 'extraordinary person'. Only then would one be able to control power, control the realm, and be firm on the path and stick to one's original heart.
Therefore, at the beginning, one's temperament was just a little good. After that, one would be sharpened step by step, tempered step by step, and tested again and again to improve one's temperament little by little, becoming a person with a firm will. This was the orthodox method of Daoism. Otherwise, Daoism's inheritance would have been broken long ago based on the previous standards.
And the reason why Shi Xuan had set up layers of tests to torture Xia Jing was because she was a Nascent Soul heretic Venerable. Her temperament had been tempered at the two barriers of Dharma Form and Nascent Soul. She was only slightly inferior to a superior-grade Gold Core, and could not be mentioned in the same breath as these low-level cultivators and mortals.
…
Overseas, Golden Wing Mountain. Leaden clouds hung low, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled.
A thousand miles away, there was a green-haired old man with dark green dragon horns on his head and a strange cultivator with countless eyes on his face, looking at Golden Wing Mountain together.
"Six-Winged Gentleman is a primordial mutated species. He should be able to survive the Heavenly Tribulation this time, right?" the green-haired old man said with some anticipation.
The strange cultivator chuckled. "In ancient times, all the great demons who survived the Heavenly Tribulation died mysteriously. They could no longer rule the land and the human race, and could only hide overseas. After that, no great demon survived the Heavenly Tribulation! Not a single one! "
