The counterattack of the villains

Chapter 339 Five Immortals and Three Tribulations

The food and wine were delivered quickly, and everyone chatted about the task while tasting the ancient food and wine.

The shopkeeper and the waiter were very sensible, and they went downstairs directly after serving the food and drinks, so they had no scruples about talking.

After all, with the perception of their group, no one can overhear their conversation, and they have not been discovered by them.

Zhan Lan asked Li Mu curiously: "Brother-in-law, what kind of realm did you say that Yan Chixia is? You can't see it in the movie at all!"

"Let's say that his level is not high. His combat power is insanely strong. He can kill bosses like the tree demon grandma, the old black mountain demon, Purdue Cihang, and the ghost king nine-tailed fox."

"Let's say he had a high realm, but he died very early, and he didn't even live for 200 years."

When Yan Chixia appeared on the stage, she was about fifty years old. By the timeline of the third part of A Chinese Ghost Story, that is, 100 years after the first part, he had already died.

Logically speaking, according to the mana he showed, he shouldn't have such a short life, so Zhan Lan asked this question.

Li Mu smiled slightly, and said, "Combat power and state are never the same thing. A high state does not necessarily have a strong combat power, and a strong combat power does not necessarily have a high state."

Li Mu nodded and said, "Indeed, because my obsession is relatively simple, it is relatively easy to cross."

Chu Xuan said: "Anyway, you have eliminated the demons in your heart and obtained the light of your heart, so the question is, what is the light of your heart?"

But if you are just an ordinary person, even if you have these abilities, if you lack strength, agility, and physical strength, you will not be much better than a Lianjiazi.

The opening of the gene lock can make them invincible at the same level, and even kill enemies at higher levels.

"Thus human immortals may have strong fighting power, but they will not live forever. This is why Yan Chixia's fighting power is comparable to that of the god-turning stage, but she died before she even lived for 200 years."

Everyone became interested, because one of the "A Chinese Ghost Story" series is called "A Chinese Ghost Story: The Way of the World", which seems to be a kind of proof for Li Mu's words.

"Immortals like Sanqing and Siyu belong to Daluo Jinxian, while immortals like Barefoot Daxian and Shangdong Eight Immortals belong to Daluo Sanxian."

"Relying on mortals' beliefs and the power of incense and vows to become immortals is the so-called immortals. Many gods on the neon side basically follow this path."

"If you are pleasing to the eye, for example, if you meet some filial sons who touch the heavens, or couples who love each other more than gold, the gods and Buddhas may show their spirits."

"The gene lock must be combined with the power of practice to show its power. If you just unlock the gene lock without the corresponding power of practice, at most it will only make people extraordinary, but they will not be able to become holy."

"However, people like him will most likely switch to cultivating ghosts and immortals after death, and become a big boss in the underworld. In a sense, they can be regarded as achieving longevity."

"After Sun Wukong became Bi Mawen, he was considered a Taiyi Golden Immortal. Before that, he was only a Taiyi Sanxian."

Li Mu thought for a while and said, "According to my analysis, the light of the soul should be the deepest part of a person's soul, his perception and understanding of the universe."

According to what Chu Xuan said before, unlocking the first layer of genetic locks is to restore the fighting instinct of ancient humans and the ability to perceive danger.

"If you can't get over it, you will be controlled by the inner demon, and you will gradually lose your true self. The consequences will depend entirely on the individual situation."

Everyone was very engrossed in listening, Li Xiaoyi suddenly raised his hand and said: "Brother, isn't this a saint you're talking about? A fairy has just stepped into the threshold of a fairy?"

Li Muzheng nodded and said: "That's right, the first stage of the tribulation period is the thunder calamity. Once you pass through the thunder calamity, your body will be baptized by the thunder calamity, and you can get a fundamental transformation."

"Taoism refers to the immortals who have cultivated through branch sects as Taiyi Immortals, and the immortals who have cultivated through Taoist orthodox sects are called Daluo Immortals."

The veterans who entered the world of "Neon Urban Legend" before, except for Chu Xuan, a three-none man, all exclaimed when they heard this statement.

Because they all remembered that in the world of "Alien", when Li Mu first entered, he said that he could see the problems in Chu Xuan because he had unlocked the fourth layer of genetic locks and obtained the light of the soul.

But now they are at the average foundation building stage, know all kinds of fighting skills, and also master superior martial arts such as the Shushan Sword Art.

"We are all cultivating the Dao of Immortals, starting from Qi training and foundation building, step by step to accumulate mana and improve the realm."

Zhan Lan said thoughtfully: "It sounds...it doesn't seem too difficult!"

Zhang Qin's heart was sweet, she pursed her lips and smiled, then asked curiously: "Then husband, what is your inner demon? How did you get over it?"

"Five insects refer to the five types of species, which have nothing to do with our topic. I will talk about the five immortals alone."

Just like their group, if they were just ordinary people and didn't know any fighting skills, even if they unlocked the first layer of genetic locks, they wouldn't be able to defeat the martial arts masters in this world.

Li Mu said calmly: "It's very simple. My deepest obsession is to eliminate the rebel organization and avenge my parents, so my inner demon is the 'West African Leopard'."

Li Mudao: "That's because the time hasn't come yet. Cultivators who cultivate the heavenly way do not need to comprehend the way until they reach the Mahayana stage. In the early stage, they only need to pay attention to their state of mind."

"If you can understand the Tao, you can cultivate into a heavenly immortal, but if you can't understand the Tao, you can only become an earth immortal."

Therefore, the gene lock can only be said to be a kind of super assistance, but it cannot make people directly transcend the extraordinary.

"I'm lucky. The government army helped me wipe out the soldiers of the rebel organization. If the entire organization can't be wiped out, I'm afraid my inner demons won't be eliminated so easily."

"The second catastrophe is called the demon catastrophe. The biggest obsession deep in your heart will form a demon. What you have to do is to eliminate it. This catastrophe may be easy to overcome, or it may not be possible at all."

"Until I uprooted the headquarters of the West African Leopards, killed all the high-level officials, and the rebel army was also disintegrated by the government forces. The killing intent finally subsided, and the spiritual world immediately became clear."

"Heavenly Tribulation has three stages, which correspond to the three stages of the beginning, middle and late stages of the Transcendence Tribulation Period, and also correspond to the three stages of the fourth stage of Gene Lock, the beginning, middle and advanced stages."

Zhan Lan asked again: "What about Yan Chixia? Is he cultivating a human immortal?"

Everyone was quite speechless. They didn't expect to be able to take a bite of dog food unexpectedly when they were talking about such an important matter.

"Heavenly immortals, with divine light shining everywhere, have thousands of incarnations, once obtained forever, once certified forever, supernatural powers are broadened, mana power is boundless, the world is closed from time to time, and catastrophe is not hindered, when the world is opened, it opens up and saves people."

"If you can survive the catastrophe of the heart demon, you can break through to the middle stage of the catastrophe, and at the same time unlock the gene lock to the fourth intermediate level, and get the light of the soul."

Zhang Jie asked: "What is the difference between the Tao of the world and the Tao of heaven?"

"This is the Taoist description of human immortals. Simply put, human immortals do not comprehend the Dao, but only practice Taoist thaumaturgy, and devote themselves to practicing Taoist thaumaturgy to the extreme."

Even if ordinary people unlock the first layer of gene locks, it is difficult to survive on the battlefield of bullets, let alone kill many enemies.

Because no matter how rich the experience in martial arts, no matter how brilliant the skills of moves, it is impossible to be stronger than that terrifying fighting instinct.

Li Mu nodded and said: "Yes, a cultivator who does not understand the Dao, obtains a method from the Dao, and obtains a skill from the Dharma, and will never change his confidence and will for the rest of his life."

After listening to Li Mu's words, everyone had a deep understanding of the immortal system.

Li Mu nodded with a smile and said, "It can only be said that my inner demons have been eliminated, because I was still an ordinary person at that time, and I hadn't stepped into the path.

"For example, maybe if I see anyone, I will regard him as a member of the West African Leopard Organization, so that I will kill anyone I see."

"According to each person's situation, the content of Dao Tribulation is also completely different. Some people are Love Tribulation, some people are Li Jie, some people are Fame and Fortune Tribulation, etc., and so on."

Everyone laughed dumbfounded, but what he said seemed to be true.

"During that time, my entire spiritual world was filled with a strong killing intent, so in those days I killed crazily without mercy."

Li Mu explained: "There are five immortals in Zhou Tian, ​​​​the gods and ghosts of heaven and earth; there are five insects, with scales and feathers."

"Immortals with a heavenly establishment are also called golden immortals, and immortals without a heavenly establishment are called loose immortals."

Chu Xuan suddenly said: "What is the concept of comprehending the Dao you are talking about? We have not comprehended any Dao at present, and we are just constantly accumulating cultivation."

Li Mu nodded with a smile and said, "That's true. Immortals who cultivate the incense and fire divine way will gradually die out if they are no longer worshiped and the incense is cut off."

Its fighting instinct allows it to quickly find the best solution in a crisis.

"I was just an ordinary person at that time, and I hadn't practiced it, so the manifestation of the light of my heart was not obvious."

Dugu Nine Swords is a fart in front of them. In the unlocked state, every shot they make is equivalent to Dugu Nine Swords, and every move goes straight to the opponent's weakness.

Chu Xuan said: "This kind of so-called god will restrict you a lot, right? Because if you want to be worshiped by mortals, you have to help mortals eliminate disasters."

"For gods and Buddhas who don't practice incense and fire, whether you like to worship or not, it depends on your mood whether to ward off disasters or misfortunes for you."

"Under normal circumstances, such gods and Buddhas basically ignore ordinary people."

"However, Dao Tribulation will not appear until the later stage of Transcendence Tribulation before the fourth-order advanced gene lock is opened. We are still very far away from that step, so don't worry."

"Then go through the catastrophe, achieve Mahayana, until you realize the Dao, complete your meritorious deeds, and transform into an immortal."

"Why do you say that earth immortals are 'talents of gods'? Because if you still can't understand the Tao, you can switch to the Tao of incense and fire."

And if you are a special soldier who has experienced many battles, and you have these abilities, you will be quite powerful. Li Mu is a living example.

"This is why some of the gods and Buddhas enshrined by mortals are very spiritual and some are not. The more spiritual ones are basically the gods and Buddhas who practice incense and fire."

"Because he is an innate creature, he usually adds the words 'Hunyuan Yiqi' before his title, so he is called 'Hunyuan Yiqi Taiyi Jinxian' in full."

"You don't know when it will come, what form it will appear in, and you may even be in a catastrophe without knowing it."

"That will also become the foundation for me to comprehend the Dao. What it is, I will know when I break through the Mahayana stage."

Li Mu went on to say: "Heavenly Immortal generally refers to the immortals who live in the heavenly realm, but there are different terms for Heavenly Immortals."

"Uh...haha, so that's the case." Li Xiaoyi scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled.

Chu Xuan stared at Li Mu, and asked, "So, you have passed the inner demon tribulation and unlocked the fourth-level intermediate stage of the gene lock?"

"Now I can probably speculate that the so-called light of the mind will probably eventually evolve into a unique supernatural power, and then evolve into a law."

"Light of the mind?"

"For Yan Chixia's situation, I can roughly guess what's going on. Although he is also a Taoist, what he cultivates is the 'worldly way', not the 'heavenly way'."

"That's why the orthodox cultivators of the Taoist sect seldom practice the incense and fire divine way. Even if mortals take the initiative to offer offerings, they will not receive the power of the incense and fire vows, lest they damage their own practice."

"In the setting of Honghuangliu, titles such as Jinxian, Taiyi, and Daluo are used to represent the realm of cultivation, but the orthodox mythology actually refers to the status category."

"Earth immortals are half of the heaven and earth. The talents of immortals do not realize the Dao and stop at the law of small accomplishments. They only live in the world with a long life and do not die in the world."

Li Mudao: "The third stage of calamity is called 'Tao Calamity'. I can't say that, because Dao Calamity is ever-changing and it is the most elusive calamity."

"Take me as an example. Although I'm only in the Nascent Soul stage, Zheng Zha may not be my opponent in a real fight."

"And once mortals stop enshrining you, then you, a god, will probably be finished, isn't that right?"

"But no matter what, when my cultivation level reaches the middle stage of crossing the catastrophe, there is a high probability that there will be no heart demon catastrophe."

"These are not five realms, but five paths, corresponding to the way of heaven, the way of authenticity, the way of gods, the way of humanity, and the way of ghosts."

"At this time, no matter what level your gene lock is, even if you haven't opened the gene lock, you can go directly to the early stage of the fourth level after experiencing the thunder disaster."

Everyone nodded subconsciously, which is very obvious.

Li Mu looked at her and said, "It's easy to cross, and it's difficult to cross. The catastrophe is not just as simple as being struck by lightning, it's just the catastrophe that needs to be overcome at the beginning of the catastrophe."

"I haven't passed my own Dao Tribulation yet, and I don't know how to get through it. I can only be blocked by soldiers and covered by water and earth."

"Originally, Aqin might become my new obsession, but after entering the space of the Lord God and seeing her again, I have no obsession anymore."

Hearing Li Mu mention the "gene lock", Chu Xuan's eyes narrowed, and said: "You mean, the catastrophe is also related to the gene lock?"

Lord Bachi asked Li Mu: "Captain, is the catastrophe easy to overcome?"

Even in the face of a seemingly hopeless situation, he will instinctively find the best way to escape.

Information that could not be perceived in detail will flow into the mind passively. Even if the consciousness cannot react, the body will naturally make corresponding actions based on the information.

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses, and asked Li Mu: "You just said the first two calamities, and the third calamity? What is it?"

"The light of each person's soul is closely related to his heart. According to each person's encounters, behaviors, characters, thoughts, and ideas, the light of the soul expressed will also be different."

Li Mu smiled and said: "You are the setting of Honghuangliu's novel. I'm talking about the orthodox Chinese mythology system. The two are not the same thing."

"But the danger in it should not be underestimated. At that time, once I couldn't control the killing intent and my consciousness was completely eroded by the inner demon, I would become a demon who slaughtered the world."

"The so-called five immortals refer to five different cultivation paths, namely, heavenly immortals, earth immortals, immortals, human immortals, and ghost immortals."

Everyone nodded one after another, each of them was secretly thinking about what their obsessions were, and what kind of demons they would face in the future, so the venue became quiet.

At this moment, Li Mu, Zhang Qin, Master Bachi, Chu Xuan, Zhan Lan, Zhang Jie, Zhang Kong Wuji and several other people with spiritual consciousness or mind power all sensed a familiar spiritual consciousness passing over them. , and then locked their positions.

Li Mu said with a smile: "Zha Zheng is back, I hope he will gain something this time!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of bloody light on the second floor of the inn. After the bloody light subsided, four figures appeared in the field.
