Immortality is above

Chapter 117 Chapter 116: The devil is as high as one foot, and the Tao is as high as one foot.

Chen Liubai has known for a long time that when he unfolds his spiritual consciousness, the sight he sees is completely different from that of the naked eye.

It's like the difference between macroscopic and microscopic; or the difference between superficial appearance and dharma.

However, if you "see" by relying solely on your spiritual consciousness and Dharma thoughts, the scope of what you can see is quite limited. It is like looking at a leopard through a tube, which is quite one-sided.

Now, I have begun to become a god, and I have begun to observe the world in front of me from a "god's" perspective.

Refining Qi and transforming into God requires a lot of attention to the environment and state of mind, one of which is very concerning:

Afraid of thunder!

When thunder sounds, the Yin Shen is shaken. If you are caught off guard, you will suffer trauma. If it is serious, you may even be shaken out of your mind.

But now, Chen Liubai deliberately faced the Spring Thunder Burst, mainly because of its characteristics, which were much weaker than the other three seasons.

It's just a good time to use this thunder to temper the new Yin Shen.

Of course, this is not a "thunder disaster" in the traditional sense. At most, it is just a sound, so that you can feel the speed and power of thunder and lay a solid foundation for the future.

"Book of Changes" says: To drum it up, use thunder, to moisten it, use wind and rain.

The current thunder and wind and rain are both present, which is a great situation for transforming into a god.

Chen Liubai walked down from the top of Xishan Mountain and walked all the way to the Forbidden City. He chose this place and followed his heart.

At this moment, all his thoughts were jumping for joy, vying to condense, like countless trickles gathering, and finally forming a river.

The river is the cradle of life, so the Yin God was born in it.

He is like a newborn baby, but he can't wait to open his eyes and take a good look at the world.

However, at first glance, I immediately felt a huge amount of malice coming towards me:

The wind is not wind, the rain is not rain, and the thousands of lights in the huge capital are not all light...

This place actually looks like a huge garbage dump, with a rotten smell, stinky atmosphere, and shadows all around.

They don't know how they exist, hiding in the dark, as if they will pounce out at any time, and then devour Chen Liubai's "yin god".

At this time, Chen Liubai couldn't help but think of the earnest teachings of the elders in the mountains: the spirit of the immortal way cannot be accommodated in the world of mortals.

I didn't understand it before and felt confused.

A true cultivator's strength and means are absolutely superior to those of ordinary people. They are simply crushing. How can they find it difficult to stay?

What else can pose a threat to immortal cultivators?

Now it suddenly dawned on me: That’s it.

In the first stage of physical cultivation, you eat whole grains, various meats and vegetables, which are called "fireworks on earth";

After completing the transformation into a spirit, the fundamental method of absorbing and refining qi will be improved, and the body and physiology will undergo huge changes, and there is no need to suffer from the fireworks of the world.

It is called "bigu".

The reason for fasting is because the demand has jumped to a new level and is replaced by "convincing".

Therefore, it is said: Those who eat Qi will have gods and longevity.

In other words, at this point, you only need to breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth every day.

The problem arises precisely here:

This capital city, and even the entire Zhao Kingdom, was actually a lifeless land.

There is no spiritual energy, only turbid energy.

The turbid air is billowing, layer upon layer, forming a thick haze that cannot be broken, which is full of malice for any Yin God.

Not to mention growth, even survival is problematic.

This is the reason why Zhao Guo’s wizard is so difficult to find. At the same time, great demons and the like are also unable to appear.

All because the demon clan also needs spiritual energy to maintain their cultivation.

Only low-level monsters and evil ghosts appeared, but they were not affected much.

And "Demon"!

Chen Liubai originally thought that "the secular world" refers to the place where mortals live, but now he discovered that this is not the case.

To be more precise, it refers to the place abandoned by the Immortal Dao.

As recorded in those ancient classics, in the past, the Zhao country was not like this. There should be spiritual energy and some people were cultivating immortals.

It's just that the world is in turmoil, and the paradise of cave heaven and earth is constantly collapsing...

Zhao State, as well as other small neighboring countries, were originally part of a certain Cave Heaven Paradise thousands of years ago, but were subsequently eroded and abandoned.

Just like what it looks like after a house collapses, for people in the immortal world, this place has become a ruin that has lost its value and is no longer worthy of nostalgia.

Chen Liubai discovered this, which was tantamount to revealing a secret.

When he went up the mountain, he was flown by the mysterious Taoist; then he stayed on the mountain, either doing chores or studying hard; when he was about to go down the mountain, he was also flown down by the Taoist, straight to the edge of the secular world.

Flying back and forth, there is almost no experience in between, so how can we know the situation?

It wasn't until he became a god that this mysterious veil was unveiled.

But there were no big surprises.

He suddenly thought that although the abandoned land was full of filth and no longer suitable for immortal cultivators to survive, it also had a long historical heritage, which is why the fragments of the Heavenly Book were left here.

So, did the elder of Shanmen send him back with this idea in mind?

With my own hands and luck, I collected the fragments and finally sent them back...

Boom!

Another thunder.

Chen Liubai was shocked and quickly woke up. Just a moment ago, without any precautions, he fell into delusion.

It was his inner demons that guided his spiritual thoughts to speculate on the position and starting point of the elders of Shanmen with the greatest malice, thus creating doubts and suspicions.

But this suspicion is very reasonable and natural.

In addition, every harvest is like a script written in advance. How can this not make people worry?

In fact, the reason why Chen Liubai's door to immortality was opened was because of the gift from his elders. Even if he gives something in return, it is his duty.

But people's hearts change. When they really get something good, how many people are willing to hand it over?

The inner demon was born because of this, and it can be said that he found every opportunity and took root.

Especially when the Yin God is first born, it is easier to reveal its flaws.

Fortunately, Chen Liubai was very human after all, and quickly controlled his will, and would not be easily swayed by delusions.

After discovering that the entire Zhao Kingdom was a soulless land, he was not disappointed.

Without spiritual energy, it means that you cannot practice true immortality.

Not only that, if cultivators who have reached the second level choose to live here, they will be corroded by the turbid air day and night. Over time, the Yin Shen will be damaged, causing it to shrink and even become deformed.

At that time, the path to immortality is cut off, and it is possible to become possessed and turn into a demon.

This is the outcome of "complicity".

However, Chen Liubai's belief and plan all along was to leave and find his way back to the mountain.

Regardless of whether Zhao State has no spirit, it may have spirit.

His determination to return to the mountain will not change...

When the Yin Shen is born, it should not be exposed for too long, especially when looking around maliciously.

So after a while, with a thought, the Yin God returned to his place, hiding in the Niwan Palace, surrounded by countless Dharma thoughts.

The next moment, Chen Liubai had an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and drizzle fell on the umbrella, then flowed down again.

sizzle...

The sound of wind and rain was suddenly mixed with strange noises, as if countless poisonous snakes were coming out of their holes.

But I saw wisps of black energy rising from below and gradually spreading.

This scene was like a large palace on fire, but there was no open flame, only black smoke billowing, slowly covering the entire Forbidden City.

Such a change was quickly noticed by personnel from various forces who were guarding the outside, and they were in an uproar.

These people were waiting outside the city, mainly waiting for news. However, they waited until it was almost noon. The gate of the Forbidden City was always closed, and there was no movement at all.

Everyone was agitated.

When I saw a large area of ​​black gas rising, I thought it was a fire at first, but then I discovered a clue:

This black energy is not simple!

They seem to have some kind of autonomous consciousness. The more diffuse they are, the darker they become. Finally, they are as black as ink and turn into dark clouds, which are not blown by the wind.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned and didn't know what happened.

Gotta get it!

There was the sound of galloping horses, and the leader was clearly Zhao Geer, who was dressed in armor and had a long sword on his waist, making him look somewhat dashing and heroic.

She broke into the imperial city with her armor, asking the royal family, nobles, and ministers' families to retreat out of the city immediately:

"The demon monk Yuan Kong has become a demon. He has taken over the Forbidden City. Everyone in the captured palace, including His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, and the Grand Master of the Warriors, have all been killed..."

Zhao Geer knew that there was something else going on, but at this time, it was most appropriate and easiest for others to blame all the crimes on the national master.

When the news spread, it immediately aroused a storm of shock, disbelief, and anger...

Various emotions were intertwined, making the situation suddenly extremely complicated.

All hell breaks loose.

It was at this moment that Zhao Geer saw more clearly the gap between himself and his fourth brother Zhao Bin.

Not only are they different in gender; in terms of foundation and prestige, they are far from comparable.

It is simply impossible to sit in that position.

Even with Chen Liubai's strong support, it would not work. We can't kill everyone who opposes. What's the point of killing them until they are bloody?

What's more, it's impossible for Chen Liubai to do those things.

So Zhao Geer immediately went to Zhao Bin's mansion to pick up his legitimate son, Zhao Mingzhao, who was just ten years old this year.

She wants to protect the Zhao family's bloodline for the sake of her own future.

Looking at the current situation, it is obvious that it is out of control. If it cannot be stabilized quickly, it will not be an internal dispute over the succession of the Zhao family, but a complete change of dynasty. The Zhao country will probably change its name and no longer have the surname Zhao. Become some other country.

The rise and fall of dynasties is nothing new.

Overnight, the princess Zhao Geer became much more mature.

The national master turned into a demon and the temple collapsed. This kind of thing can be called a "collapse of heaven". For a while, many people couldn't believe it.

Until they saw that the entire Forbidden City was about to be enveloped in black energy like ink.

That's not black energy, but demonic energy.

The demonic energy is surging, still emerging, and has the momentum to continue to expand outwards.

At this moment, someone with sharp eyes saw Chen Liubai standing in the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

It stood erect, standing just above the surging demonic energy...
