After Shi Xuan sat down, the Perfected Immortals and Perfected Ones stood up and thanked Penglai for his invitation. Their tones were very sincere. After all, the Momentary Forgetfulness Fruit was one of the few spiritual fruits that could help temper one's mind. It was of great help to the cultivation of one's Dao heart. The third and fourth Heavenly Tribulations, as well as the second to the fifth Blight, all had requirements for one's Dao heart. If one's Dao heart was not enough, it was impossible to touch the essence of the Great Dao, control the primordial spirit, and sense the passage of time in the Grotto-heaven.
Xu Yu, Shu Xiaotian, Qiao Mubai, Gui Yuanzi, King Qinguang, and Wu Yuee were even more grateful. Xu Yu, Shu Xiaotian, Qiao Mubai, Gui Yuanzi, King Qinguang, and Wu Yuee had been stuck at touching the essence of the Great Dao for a long time. Although Shu Xiaotian had benefited from Yu Yutian's opening and had collected many delaying secret techniques, there were only a thousand years left before the inevitable arrival of the fourth Heavenly Tribulation. He was about to follow in the footsteps of the Emperor of Hell.
Therefore, when they could taste the Momentary Forgetfulness Fruit, a spiritual fruit that could allow cultivators to directly comprehend the Great Dao, even if it was not the one they needed, they could still learn from others. Their hearts were filled with gratitude.
As for the Lord Of Heaven, he valued the ability to use the Momentary Forgetfulness Fruit to temper one's Dao heart and feel the passage of time.
As Xu Zhenjun was preparing for the first Deva's Blight, the Penglai Dharma Assembly was hosted by Shi Xuan. He looked around and saw many Perfected Ones gathered. He could not help but sigh. "When I became a disciple of Penglai, there were no more than twenty Perfected Ones in the entire Yu Yutian. But today, there are more than thirty Perfected Ones who have been selected and invited, and there are more than one hundred and twenty Perfected Ones. In another thousand years, there will definitely be Deva achievements."
"Fellow Daoists, Penglai's ceremonies and dharma assemblies have always been simple. I'm really sorry." Shi Shuan modestly mocked himself first. The simple style of the Penglai Sect had been around for a long time, which made everyone smile knowingly. "But it's rare to have so many Taoist friends who have cut through the whims and seen their true nature together. Just exchanging Taoist Law is a pleasant thing."
Kong Ran smiled lightly. "With so many Perfected Ones here, including those who came with the Perfected Ones and Shi Xuan and Perfected Ones from Penglai, there are probably close to a hundred. Why don't we spar? Of course, Shi Xuan, you, will be the prize."
"Fellow Daoist Kong, are you trying to imitate the Taixu Assembly?" Mo Jingqiu smiled.
Hearing Mo Jingqiu's words, many Perfected Ones remembered that there were many Perfected Ones who had participated in the Great Void Dharma Assembly. Shi Xuan, Meng Nishang, Shen Yimo, Mo Jingqiu, Jian Tonghui, and Lian Yu were all Three Tribulations Mighty Ones who could open their own worlds.
Apart from those who had fallen to the Killer Tribulations, the Perfected Ones who had been invited to participate in the Great Void Dharma Assembly had a higher chance of passing the Degeneration Tribulations. It was much higher than the normal situation in the universe.
"Back then, the Great Void Dharma Assembly was full of talents. How many of the Perfected Ones in Penglai's Dharma Assembly can become Heavenly Immortals?" This thought flashed through everyone's mind. Many Perfected Ones were eager to try.
Shi Xuan smiled. "Since no one objects, I will do as the guest says. Of course, it's up to each Daoist to decide whether to spar or not. I won't force it."
As he spoke, Shi Xuan opened up a Lesser Chiliocosm in front of him. He changed the laws and took in the mysterious objects.
Witnessing a Three Tribulations Mighty One casually taking out the mysterious objects made the Perfected Ones feel very complicated. The things that they couldn't obtain after going through so much trouble were just a piece of cake for the Mighty One.
As it was in the Shangqing Shenxiao World, the Lesser Chiliocosm couldn't create a stable Lesser Chiliocosm. Therefore, after Shi Xuan took out the mysterious objects, it quickly died out.
Shi Xuan took out some secret treasures he had obtained from his enemies and placed them in front of him along with the mysterious objects. "One secret treasure for the fourth Heavenly Tribulation, one secret treasure for the third Heavenly Tribulation, and ten other mysterious objects. We'll use them as a wager. We'll take the top three each."
Shi Xuan was not afraid that the secret treasures and mysterious objects that came along with the exchange would ruin their Dao hearts if he gave them to the Spiritual Masters of the sect.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a sigh. Shi Xuan saw that it was his good friend, Chongyang Perfected Lord. He couldn't help but tease him, "Daoist Chongyang, you want to spar too?"
The few Perfected Lords who arrived a few days ago had sparred with each other. As they had passed through the Decline of the Primordial Spirit for less than two thousand years, many of their Immortal Arts had yet to be cultivated. Therefore, it was Shi Xuan, Shen Yimo, and Jian Tonghui who had the upper hand in swordsmanship. Among them, Shi Xuan relied on his three flying swords that were at the peak of the eighth rank Immortal Arts to be able to stand on equal footing with Ren Yunzong, the veteran bigwig.
Chongyang Perfected Lord had a long beard. He was thin and elegant. He shook his head and said with a smile, "I was lamenting the stubborn Numinous Treasure of my family. Instead of guarding the Taoist temple, he snuck out."
When Shi Xuan casually set up the fighting platform, the sparring officially began. It was rare for such a safe place to be watched over by bigwigs. Moreover, there were so many cultivators of the same level with different Dharma gathered here. Naturally, the Perfected Ones did not hesitate to step up.
Among the ordinary Primordial Spirits who had yet to pass through the Heavenly Tribulation, Hua Qianluo, a Perfected One with a special Dharma treasure, had overcome all difficulties. However, in the end, he was defeated by Dong Ziran, who had mastered the Five-colored Divine Light.
Among the One-tribulation Yang Gods, the Perfected Ones from the Five Elements Sect who had come with the Five Elements Boy and Kong Ran had not passed through the Heavenly Tribulation long ago. Their Five-colored Divine Light had not been cultivated to the level of transcending realms. Therefore, the top three places were taken by Ningxin of the Three Clouds Palace, Lu Xia 'er of the Guang Han Sect, and Pang Sheng of the Baocheng Sect, who were close to the Second Tribulation.
Ming Qingyue, who cultivated the True Method of Star River, which had high requirements and great power, shone among the Perfected Ones from the Second Tribulation Yang Gods. "The Stars Enter the Milky Way, The Water Is Pure and the Water Saint Comes Out" was originally a real Celestial Art of transcending realms. However, because the cultivation method was incomplete, it was difficult to improve. Nevertheless, she cultivated it to the level of transcending realms by chance. She fought with Li Wanghe of the Five Elements Sect, who had just cultivated the Five-colored Divine Light to the level of transcending realms. Relying on her real combat experience, which was better than that of the disciples of the big sects, she won with difficulty and came out on top.
As for the rogue cultivator Immortal Gui Yi, he took the third place among the Perfected Ones from the super big sects such as Penglai, the Three Clouds Palace, the Baocheng Sect, and the Guang Han Sect.
The Perfected Ones from the Three Tribulations were all famous and prominent Perfected Ones in Yu Yutian's time. The battle between them was even more exciting.
Seeing that Xiao Zhenzi's Innate Divine Light was easily defeated by Wang Pu of the Five Elements Sect, Qin Sheng could not help but smile in his heart, "Although Xiao Zhenzi and I were on the same level for a while, without the Celestial Art of transcending realms, the difference in strength can't be calculated. After today, when the result of the Penglai Spell Gathering is spread out, I think no one will compare him with me anymore."
With the Five-colored Divine Light, Wang Pu, Shu Xiaotian, Mo Yuan, Linló, and a few veteran Perfected Ones from the Three Clouds Palace and the Baocheng Sect were defeated by him one by one. In the end, the top four were Wang Pu, Qin Sheng, Xu Yu, and Chu Wan'er.
Relying on the Celestial Art of Time, Chu Wan'er lasted the longest in front of Wang Pu. She actually dodged a Five-colored Divine Light and attacked first, causing Wang Pu to be in danger for two to three seconds. However, Great Magical Art of Celestial Art was still a Great Magical Art of Celestial Magic. Even if Wang Pu had not understood its true meaning, he still suppressed Chu Wan'er at the critical moment.
In the battle between Qin Sheng and Xu Yu, all kinds of Devil Path techniques were eye-catching. "Immortal Blood Shadow", "Moke Blood River", "Mother and Child Primordial Yin Curse", "Seven Evils Ten Thousand Filthy Thunder", "Mirage", "Seven Bewitching Demons", "God Chasing Shadows", "Plundering Demonic Art", "Ten Thousand Poisonous Smoke of Resentment of Heaven and Earth", "Sun and Moon Devouring", "Black Line of Curse", etc., were used one after another. However, they were all blocked by Xu Yu's Wood Element Celestial Art of Wood Element and his own outstanding swordsmanship.
"The Celestial Art is too complicated and can't highlight the root. Zhenren Qin Sheng has taken a wrong path. His strength is a notch above Zhenren Xu, but he can only be in a stalemate." Ren Yunzong commented. As a Sword Cultivator Perfected Lord who was the most self-centered, he had the deepest understanding of this aspect.
Mo Jingqiu looked at Yu Yutian with a smile. What was the difference between the Way of the Heart Demon passed down by the Taishi Demon Sect and the reverse side of his own technique after it was completed?
As the battle went on for a long time, Qin Sheng was an Immortal of Diabolism. His nature was unrestrained and murderous. Suddenly, he had the idea of using the Taishi Heavenly Demon Qi. However, he had not cultivated his Taoist heart for so many years for nothing. He understood that once he used the Taishi Heavenly Demon Qi under the watchful eyes of the public, and he did not have a half-step Golden Immortal elder like the Divine Firmament Palace behind him, there would be a lot of trouble.
Therefore, he suppressed the uncontrollable idea. Apart from the Taishi Demon Qi, he mainly used the Immortal Blood Shadow and the Plundering Demonic Art. Relying on the advantage of touching a trace of the spirit essence of the Great Dao, he gradually suppressed Xu Yu. After a quarter of an hour, he finally forced Xu Yu to admit defeat.
Xiao Zhenzi looked at this scene and nodded with a smile. He thought in his heart, "This child is worth teaching. He has finally grown up."
The battle between Chu Wan 'er and Xu Yu also lasted for a long time. It ended with Chu Wan' er winning by a narrow margin. Without using the Taishi Demon Qi, Qin Sheng relied on the Devil Path Celestial Arts derived from the Heart Demon, the Illusion Demon, the Nightmare Demon, and other Devil Path Celestial Arts to avoid the strong and attack the weak. He did not fight head-on with Wang Pu. However, under the Five-colored Divine Light, he still could not escape the fate of defeat.
…
The battle that benefited everyone was over. After everyone picked their bets, Shi Xuan clapped his hands lightly, and the disciples of the Penglai Sect each came out with a small cauldron. Inside the cauldron was the True Water of Cosmic Light, which was taken from the Pool of Time. Inside the True Water, there was a transparent fruit the size of a longan, which looked like it was formed by water and light.
Once the Momentary Forgetting Fruit came into contact with the Five Elements and other things, it would fester. It could only be preserved with the Cosmic Light Real Water or innate things.
"Fellow Taoists, please taste the Momentary Forgetting Fruit." Shi Xuan smiled and picked up the spirit fruit. Qing Suo, who was serving at the side, looked at it eagerly. She really wanted to eat another one.
"Many thanks to Penglai for the gift. Many thanks to True Monarch Shi for the gift." After the True Monarchs and Spiritual Masters expressed their gratitude in unison, they picked up the spirit fruit and swallowed it.
As soon as the Momentary Forgetting Fruit entered his Primordial Spirit, Shi Xuan felt that the time around him had stopped. Everything was still. Other than his thoughts, even his Primordial Spirit was the same. Therefore, he could not meditate or visualize and could only sit there in a daze.
Shi Xuan calmed his mind and collected his thoughts. His Dao Heart was like a bright moon. It was not disturbed by this extreme loneliness. He began to sort out all the things he had accumulated over the years.
The first thirty years passed in a flash. Shi Xuan did not care at all. However, when another fifty years passed, he could not cultivate or speak. His mind gradually became irritated. After all, he was always focused on cultivating in seclusion. This kind of sitting was really hard to bear.
After realizing that his mind was becoming irritated, Shi Xuan began to restrain his troubled thoughts and calm his mind.
The next twenty years were spent fighting against this irritated and restless state. Shi Xuan felt that his mind had greatly improved. In the last few months, he successfully changed the way he thought and felt the world. Both his body and mind felt that this kind of sitting in solitude had a different flavor. It was a different kind of enjoyment.
After a hundred years, in Shi Xuan's mind that was as clear as the moon, he suddenly felt the long river of time rolling over. It broke through the silence and the barrier of Shi Xuan's Dao Heart. It displayed the Great Dao of time, lightning, light, and other Great Dao in Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit.
In the state of meditation, the feeling of the passage of time was so obvious. It was as if it was engraved in Shi Xuan's senses. Gradually, the long river of time returned to normal. It blended with the nearby space and could no longer be clearly felt.
However, Shi Xuan's Primordial Spirit could clearly feel the projection of the long river of time in his Cave. It flowed forward and refused to return!
