Chapter 1006 New Road
"call"

Zhang Yan let out a long sigh of relief and got out of the state of cultivation.Afterwards, Wei Wei calculated in her heart and realized that hundreds of years had passed.

The passage of time has no trace on Zhang Yan's body, and he has become accustomed to the situation of opening and closing his eyes for hundreds or even thousands of years.

Otherwise, in the eyes of ordinary creatures, how can immortals exist from ancient times?The time for a fairy to take a nap is enough time for an ordinary creature with a life span of a hundred years to reincarnate several times or even a dozen times.So in their eyes, immortals exist forever.

But in fact, under Da Luo, the immortal is just a candle, and it will burn out sometimes.

But after stepping into the realm of Da Luo Jinxian and transcending life and death, Zhang Yan found that he seemed to have become "slow".Everything was done subconsciously without rush, and even the three words "time-consuming" seemed to have been forgotten from his mind.

It's just that although I gradually lose the concept of time, it doesn't mean that I often fall asleep in a daze with nothing to do.On the contrary, he has not slept for many, many years, and even the time of trance does not exist.Although it is not appropriate to use busy, it is very appropriate to not be idle all the time.

Stepping into the realm of Daluo Jinxian, Zhang Yan's practice has also shifted from "condensing his own strength and means" to "studying and discovering the deeper context behind the power and means".

This kind of transformation is what Zhang Yan has been following from the very beginning, and it is also unknown to those ancient immortals in the void world who are struggling to pursue it but can't find it.

Stepping into the realm of Daluo Jinxian is like getting a bow and arrow.In the void world, the ancient immortals like wooden scorpions pursued continuous improvement of bows and arrows, making bows and arrows more powerful and longer range.But found no qualitative change.No matter how powerful a bow and arrow is, it is just a bow and arrow.

What Zhang Yan pursued after stepping into the Daluo Jinxian Realm and getting the "bow and arrow" was not to improve the bow and arrow, but to find a way to evolve the bow and arrow towards the direction of firearms.

The difference between the two is obvious.The former has an obvious ceiling, and the road ahead can almost see the end at a glance.This is also the reason why those ancient immortals feel hopeless.The latter is to start all over again, to stand on a new starting point and embark on a new path instead of standing still or turning in circles.

Therefore, even if Zhang Yan is just a newly promoted Da Luo, he is stronger than those so-called suzerain-level Da Luo Jinxians, and is stronger than ancient immortals like Mu Tong.This is not caused by talent or skills, but the difference brought about by the choice of the path in essence.

In other words, Zhang Yan's strength is still strong because he has a clear "guidance" that is not available in the void world.You don't need to take detours, let alone explore and search, you can directly follow the path that the predecessors have already flattened.The speed of this improvement is naturally not comparable to that of Mu Tong.

But although Zhang Yan has the "guidance" of his predecessors, he still has to talk about it if he wants to smoothly aim at the next level and advance by leaps and bounds.

After Da Luo is a saint.If one wants to become a saint, the difficulty cannot be explained clearly in words.

Let's compare it with the legends in the Great Desolate World.Except for the grand ancestor who was right, there are only eleven saints, and only one of them became holy through cultivation.The rest of the sanctification is the way of taking meritorious deeds.

It's not that saints who take advantage of their merits and virtues are not allowed, it is indeed a shortcut, and there is nothing wrong with it.But in terms of strength, it is also true that the position of saint obtained by trickery is much worse.

Zhang Yan didn't have the idea of ​​becoming a saint through meritorious deeds, even if he had it for a while, he didn't have the conditions.So I can only honestly fight for the more difficult practice, enlightenment and sanctification.

Of course, in addition to the two paths of making meritorious deeds and practicing enlightenment, there is another way to become a saint.It's just that according to the legend, only one person succeeded in half.That person is the head of the Chaos Demon God, Pan Gu.He is taking the path of becoming holy by force.It's a pity that it fell short in the end.

Zhang Yan didn't think he had the ability to compare himself with Pan Gu.Therefore, although the way of becoming a saint with strength claims to be equal to the Dao once it succeeds, it is also called proving the way with strength.It is the highest path in the path to holiness.But it is also the most difficult.

I haven't seen a person like Hongzu back then, and he didn't choose to use his strength to become a saint, but chose to join the Tao.This shows that even Hong Zu didn't think he could do better than Pan Gu.Great God Pangu even failed to become a saint with his strength, and he couldn't make it through either.

In the first 1000 years of meditation and retreat, Zhang Yan still felt that he was "walking like flying", following the practice guidance of the Da Luo Jinxian Realm, it can be said that he was flying all the way forward.

Based on Zhang Yan's own feelings at the time, after 1000 years of retreat, he is confident that when he meets the four suzerain-level Da Luo in Mu Tong again, he will directly suppress the four of them. Keep the opponent from running away.With such an increase in strength, one can imagine how much Zhang Yan has changed in the first 1000 years.

But after 1000 years, Zhang Yan gradually discovered that "strength" and "strength" can only be equated at a superficial level.For example, in the monk stage, such as before stepping into the realm of Daluo Jinxian, the stronger the strength, the stronger the strength.But if you simply pursue power, you will end up in the same dead end as an ancient immortal like Mu Tong.

It was after the transformation from the pursuit of power to a deeper path of practice that Zhang Yan discovered a new world, and the new world was so vast that it far exceeded his imagination.

"Spells, rule deconstruction and reshaping, and even the field of the self are all bullshit! No, they don't even count as bullshit!" Zhang Yan felt so emotional when he first glimpsed the true face of Da Luo Jinxian's path.

But at the beginning, Zhang Yan couldn't explain why the things he had worked so hard to cultivate were now "not counted as bullshit". Use language to describe in detail how you feel and why.

It took more than 2000 years for Zhang Yan to realize what his new path was.

Speaking of which, I am still enlightened.

It's just that the "Tao" here is no longer the principle of heaven, but the mystery of the great way!

It is also the "great way" that the legendary Pan Gu hoped to use his strength to prove his way to be on an equal footing with him!
In the past, there was only one concept of "Tao", which was engraved in Zhang Yan's mind when he first came into contact with practice.It's heaven!Whether it is magic, or the power of rules, or even the understanding of one's own fairy body, it is all realized and used through the Dao of Heaven.

But now, for the Daluo Jinxian Realm, the way of heaven is small.

The things derived from the Dao of Heaven are no longer enough to support Da Luo Jinxian's climb after his cultivation.And above the heaven?

It is the road!

After Zhang Yan also understood the relationship between "Day of Heaven" and "Day", it suddenly dawned on him why the power of rules that are well used in the world will become less useful or even unusable in the void or unknown domain .

This is like the fish and shrimp in rivers and lakes, which eventually flow into the sea. Not every fish and shrimp can adapt to the sea.
