Under one person: If I let you refine your Qi, will you become an immortal?!

Chapter 285 There are no gods in this era, only the Immortal Lord of All Laws!

"Lord Palace Secretary."

"What should we do now?"

As he spoke, the Onmyoji retreated behind the old priest and Atsuta Shrine.

Be prepared for strategic shifts at any time.

"how?"

Noticing the Onmyoji's little move, the old priest's eyes suddenly turned cold.

But he understood that now was not the time for internal strife. Even if he wanted to strangle the other party to death, he had to wait until he got through the current difficulties. Otherwise, everyone would die here today!

Thinking like this.

The old priest looked at the three people in front of him.

Zhang Zhiwei is easy to deal with.

After fighting for such a long time, I know his tactics very well and have a plan to deal with them.

But Li Muxuan and the one beside him are very troublesome, especially Li Muxuan. The information Fangzi gave only two methods: Reversing the Eight Directions and Reversing the Three Levels.

But this information was obviously not complete.

After all, he still remembered clearly the scene of the other party casually summoning the huge rock just now.

Although at my speed, even if another huge rock falls, it is impossible to hit me, but someone who knows how to move mountains and fill the sea cannot be only able to move mountains and fill the sea.

That's why.

There was only one way out left.

That is to find a way to escape, or to delay as long as possible until the reinforcements from Lushun arrive!
Think of this.

There was a look of determination in the old priest's eyes.

It seems that he can only use his most powerful trick. Although this method will consume Shintoism's accumulation of hundreds of years, if he loses, the Japanese spiritual practice world will be seriously damaged.

There's no way to resolve this situation.

Just give it a try!
While thinking.

A bolt of purple lightning suddenly struck him.

"Humph!"

Seeing this, the old priest snorted coldly.

The Eight-foot Mirror behind him, the Kusanagi sword and the Yasakani no Magatama in his hand shine with infinite brilliance.

In an instant, the purple thunder was instantly submerged in the light.

Disappeared without a trace.

See this scene.

Zhang Zhiwei narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling different from the one that was broken by the rootless divine spirit.

He felt that his lightning was more like being transferred to some place, completely out of his control, as if it no longer belonged to this world.

"Old Li, Old Feng, be careful."

Zhang Zhiwei reminded him and stared at the three artifacts with a serious expression.

"Ah."

Li Muxuan nodded when he heard this.

The three sacred treasures were inherited from the Emperor of Japan and have been worshipped by the people for thousands of years.

This kind of treasure is different from ordinary magical instruments. Not only does it embody the power of all living beings, but it also carries a great deal of weight on its own destiny, so it often has many magical uses.

For example, Dayu's Nine Cauldrons, Emperor Qin Shihuang's Imperial Seal and the Twelve Golden Men, etc.

I don’t know what the Nine Cauldrons and the Jade Seal are used for.

No records were left.

But the Twelve Golden Men were mentioned in a book.

It can stop weapons, overcome sorcery and magic, and is equivalent to a large-scale divine spirit that specifically targets practitioners.

Of course, the three sacred artifacts of the Japanese island cannot be compared with the twelve golden men, but they should not be underestimated either. But there is no need to worry too much. After all, if they are really useful, they would not be used now.

Wouldn't it be better to focus on it earlier?

Just thinking about it.

The old priest's voice suddenly sounded.

"When the world was first created, a god was created in Takamagahara. His name is Ame-no-Mikaku-no-Masahiko!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the light of the three divine weapons suddenly became extremely bright, covering the entire world in an instant. Li Muxuan and the other two realized the situation and were about to withdraw, but they found that the surrounding scene suddenly changed.

The gray haze disappeared.

The few of them seemed to be on an island in the sky, with green grass under their feet and floating clouds in all directions.

That's when.

A red light appeared above his head.

Li Muxuan looked up and saw the shadow of a goddess in a bright yellow brocade robe appear in the sky. She wore a crown on her head, had a solemn look on her face, and exuded an indescribable aura from her whole body.

"Amaterasu?"

Li Muxuan had a strange look in his eyes.

In Japanese mythology.

In terms of status, Amaterasu should be ranked first, symbolizing the ruling right of the Japanese royal family.

She is also known as Amaterasu, the Sun Goddess of the Sun, and the Great Sun Woman. Even during the period when gods and Buddhas merged, she was regarded as the incarnation of Great Sun Tathagata.

And I should be in Takama-ga-hara now.

That is the heavenly world where Shinto gods and ghosts live, which can be simply understood as heaven.

This place is ruled by Amaterasu, and all other gods have their respective duties and serve her, just like the nobles, gentry, and officials serve the emperor in real life.

In fact, whether it is heaven or Takama-ga-hara.

They are all products of human imagination.

Class, authority, divine power, almost every one of them can be found in reality.

This can be seen.

The so-called God is nothing but a thought of human beings.

At this time.

A prayer suddenly sounded.

"The moon reads destiny."

"The male form of the royal form. Wearing a purple royal robe and a gold-made sword."

"Susano no Otoko."

The names of the gods were read out one by one.

Next to Amaterasu, first there appeared a god called Tsukuyomi-no-Mikoto, who was dressed in purple, with a sword on his waist and a string of magatama. Then there appeared a god called Susanoo, who was holding a Kusanagi sword and had ox horns on his head.

Followed by.

All kinds of strange gods appeared, and their number almost filled the entire sky.

"Tsukuyomi, Susanoo." Li Muxuan looked at the millions of phantoms in the sky. Except for the first three he had heard of, he didn't recognize most of the others.

But this is normal.

Shintoism claims to have eight million gods, but with such a large scale, even they themselves may not be able to recognize them all.

Furthermore, the number of gods does not mean anything.

For example, the place where the Ganges River is.

It is said that there are 330 million gods, but that does not prevent them from being a British colony.

Because of this, when facing these millions of gods, Li Muxuan remained calm, while Zhang Zhiwei and Wu Gensheng beside him had curiosity in their eyes, not understanding why the other party brought out so many gods.

At this time.

Amaterasu in mid-air spoke slowly.

"You all know your guilt!"

Instantly, the majestic voice echoed throughout the world.

Countless gods' gazes filled with anger and disgust focused on the three of them.

"Pretend to be a ghost."

Seeing this, Li Muxuan was too lazy to pay attention to him. He never believed in the gods worshipped by religion.

Even the Three Pure Ones and Four Emperors of Taoism are no exception. In his view, all gods with images, consciousness, right and wrong, good and evil are just human thoughts.

And since it is human thought.

There is no need to engage in meaningless arguments.

Just like the question of which tastes better, sweet or salty tofu pudding, the answer is not about the tofu pudding itself, but about how to convince or resolve the person who is arguing with you.

That's it.

Li Muxuan turned to think about how to leave here.

Obviously, since God is fake, the essence of Takamagahara should be the inner scene.

Similar to Joaquina's 'Heaven' on Nathan Island in the comics, it is a relatively independent world, where the time ratio with reality is infinite, and there will be no physical feelings such as hunger and fatigue.

The only thing you need to face is the spiritual emptiness brought about by endless time.

And this 'Takamagahara'.

Obviously, it is similar to "Heaven".

But it is not necessarily like heaven, which relies on endless time to wear down people's will.

Immediately, Li Muxuan was about to condense the Samadhi True Fire to try to refine this place, but he found that he could not sense the existence of "Qi" at all.

Only the purest cultivation of life.

But there is good news.

That is, your own physical strength will not be lost and will always remain in a vigorous state.

"Old Li, there's something weird about this place!"

At this moment, Zhang Zhiwei, who also noticed something was wrong, had a gleam of light in his narrow eyes.

After Wu Gensheng opened his mouth and recited a few words of the 'Heavenly Demon Mantra', he saw that the surrounding scene did not change at all, and his eyes flickered.

The mantra of the devil of the god of joy can affect people's inner state.

Arouse people's desire and joy.

Allow the mantra chanter to experience freely in his inner vision all the joys he can think of in this world.

Now it has no effect, which means that this inner scene does not belong to any "person", but is a public tool. In other words, this is not the inner scene of the old priest himself, but more like the ancestral hall of Shintoism.

But even though I know it, how can I get out?
Of course, this is not a matter of urgency.

And there is no need to rush.

Then, Wu Gensheng turned his head and looked at Li Muxuan and said, "Do you remember your previous theory?"

"Ah."

Li Muxuan nodded in response.

He had been thinking about escaping into the inner scene and observing the real world from here.

I just don't know whether I and others have entered the inner scene only with consciousness or with our physical bodies.

If it is the former, this technique is easy to break, just like a dream, as long as you wake up from the dream, it will be fine.

If it is the latter, although it is difficult, it is rare to be able to experience the feeling of escaping into the inner scene in person.

But looking at the current situation.

Mostly the latter.

Firstly, if the opponent could use the three artifacts to control them, they would not wait until this time to use them.

Secondly, the consciousness entering the inner scene does not mean that it is severed from the physical body. Logically speaking, the Samadhi True Fire can still be displayed.

The reason why it cannot be used now is probably because the rules of this inner scene restrict the flow of Qi in the body.

It's like an incomplete world.

Realize this.

There was a gleam in Li Muxuan's eyes. To put it bluntly, an incomplete world is a fake one.

And as long as it is fake, there is a way to break it.

While thinking.

The gods in the sky saw that none of the three men paid any attention to them, and they couldn't help but show anger on their faces.

Immediately, a majestic voice sounded.

"You are disrespecting the gods by killing the gods' servants and the Yamato people."

After saying a series of crimes, Amaterasu condensed a blazing fireball in her palm, "I now sentence you to be tortured by the burning sun and imprisoned here forever!"

The voice just fell.

The fireball turned into a blazing sun hanging in the air.

next moment!
The grass on the ground was directly ignited, and flames filled every corner of this world.

Under the brilliance of the sun, Li Muxuan felt that his skin, flesh, tendons and bones were about to melt, and the burning sensation from his skin was clearly transmitted to his mind.

Despite this, his expression remained normal.

“It hurts.”

“But he is healthy.”

Li Muxuan sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and carefully felt the feeling of the sun burning his body.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhiwei and Wu Gensheng looked at each other and sat down as well. Although the pain was intense and real, it was not completely unbearable.

And at this moment, seeing them like this.

The old priest hiding behind the god had a look of surprise in his eyes.

This is Takama-ga-hara.

It is the last trump card of his Shintoism.

Almost no one who is pulled into this world can survive the judgment of Amaterasu.

Of course, only two people have been pulled in in history. After all, the amount of faith and mental power consumed to operate this place is enormous. In particular, the more realistic the effect, the more incense and mental power consumed.

Just this short quarter of an hour of sunshine now.

It takes a month of incense burning.

Of course, if we simply maintain the existence of Takama-ga-hara, the cost will be reduced accordingly.

But that would be like starving a hawk, and he would have to endure the same torture with the three of them. The old priest didn't have the patience, so he could only use this method to torture them.

Although the injuries sustained here will not be brought back to the real world, the mental pain will not disappear.

Wait until they can't hold on any longer.

Oneself remove.

The chance of escape is much greater.

However, there is also a best case scenario, which is that they go crazy here. In this way, when they return to reality, they may have a chance to counterattack.

However, just as the old priest was daydreaming, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

The incense power suddenly dissipated at an extremely fast speed!
"what happened?"

The old priest's eyes suddenly widened.

at the same time.

Li Muxuan, sitting cross-legged on the ground, was looking inward, trying to use the Tongtian Talisman to sense the heaven and earth.

After all, the interior is a 'metaphysical' place, and the more real something is, the more concrete it is, and the less likely it is to exist here.

For everything else in the world.

Li Muxuan could not confirm whether they were real, and the level of analysis was not as deep as that of the physical body.

That's why.

He chose to look directly within himself.

From the kidneys to the globin and hemoglobin in each red blood cell.

If you can't see these things, then the sun outside has no meaning, and there is no medium to transmit it to your mind, which means that pain is just an emotion and there is no "real theory" to support it.

And then deny the existence of the entire Takama-ga-hara.

At the same time, the inner scene itself is also under the heavenly way.

It's just independent of reality.

In fact, it stands to reason that it would be easier for him to communicate with the Way of Heaven than in reality.

On the other side, the moment Wu Gensheng closed his eyes.

Countless thoughts fell away.

The whole person was in a state of extreme stillness, and in his consciousness, countless figures emerged, wearing various clothes and with different expressions.

But these figures were not others.

It is himself.

Different from Li Muxuan who observed the way of heaven and then himself, he chose to observe people!
People have countless sides, just like the world has infinite changes, and everyone is actually the same. He can see one side of himself by observing other people, and thus better understand the real self.

Zhang Zhiwei on the side was also watching himself.

Heaven, Earth and others.

In his eyes, everything is external. All he needs to do is to understand himself better in various things!
Of course, he doesn't think that others are wrong, he just realizes that his perspective is different. Lao Li chooses to observe the way of heaven, to study things to gain knowledge, to study himself and the world, hoping to see the whole picture of everything in the world.

Lao Feng understands himself by observing others.

But Zhang Zhiwei only looks at himself!

From the time I can remember until now, every moment and every second is him, but every time a thought arises, it is a new him.

It's like a house that keeps getting taller. All he has to do is to see clearly what the house looks like until it is completed and there are no more changes. Then he can see his true appearance.

Because of this, his only real opponent is himself, never anyone else.

However, the three people's paths actually lead to the same destination.

All I want is one word.

real.

But compared to the true nature that the two of them seek.

Li Muxuan also wanted to verify whether the entire world was real from the level of "Dharma".

This is also the main reason why the incense power in Takama-ga-hara is losing energy faster. After all, sexual things are often abstract, while laws are real things that exist in reality.

For example, red blood cells, white blood cells, nerve endings, etc., all have a set of ways of operating.

And as these laws are completed.

The world is getting closer to reality, so the incense and spiritual power required to maintain this reality is naturally enormous.

"No, at this rate, it won't be long before the incense is exhausted!" The old priest looked extremely ugly. Although he didn't know what happened, he was sure that the other party had done something.

But the authority is clearly in my hands.

The other party is other than oneself.

The other party has no influence here at all, and can't even use Qi!
Just thinking about it.

A deafening thunder suddenly exploded!

The old priest looked up.

The originally clear sky was suddenly covered with dark clouds, lightning and thunder.

At the same time, a figure stood up quietly, and talismans with mysterious seal characters appeared around him. Each talisman represented a "method".

And with the appearance of new talismans, the speed at which the incense power dissipates increases.

Until the final click!
Like a broken mirror.

The ground of Takamagahara shook violently, the sky suddenly collapsed, and eight million gods disappeared!
In an instant, the gray scene of Lushun Wharf returned to everyone's sight.

The old priest spat out a mouthful of blood with a "puff". The three divine weapons in his hands instantly dimmed and looked no different from ordinary objects.

That's when.

An extremely calm voice sounded.

"Can't you bear it?"

Li Muxuan opened his mouth, and the magic talismans surrounding his body showed that what happened just now was not an illusion.

Zhang Zhiwei and Wu Gensheng, who were sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly stood up and turned to look at the talisman beside Li Muxuan, with a look of surprise in their eyes.

These talismans are not the ones passed down from various sects.

What is engraved on it is the method that is unique to Li Muxuan after integrating hundreds of schools of thought!

Think of this.

Wu Gensheng couldn't help swallowing.

The past and the future are hard to talk about.

But in this era, there are no gods, only the Immortal Lord of All Laws!
