Descending from the Heavens: Maximum Level Talent.

Chapter 417: Journey to the West Secret, Xuanwu Mythical Beast

The Great Heavenly Immortal Art cannot be practiced by ordinary mortals.

Only those who have clear spiritual roots, amazing comprehension, and superb bloodline talents like the Four Mischievous Monkeys can practice successfully and reach the state of great success.

Ji Shu's six talents were all top-notch, but he didn't know what level they were at, but he estimated that any of his six talents was definitely higher than that of the six-eared macaque.

It was just because Liu'er Mihou spent much more time practicing these spells than him. From the small details, we could tell that in terms of talent, Ji Shu was definitely far superior to Liu'er Mihou.

That's why.

When Ji Shu was practicing the Great Heavenly Immortal Art, everything went smoothly.

This method is extremely magical. It can seize the fortune of heaven and earth and penetrate the mysteries of the sun and the moon. When you first start practicing Qi, you are absorbing the original pure Qi and earth Qi from heaven and earth.

This kind of energy, which involves the origin of heaven and earth, will make heaven and earth weaker with every absorption and consumption. If too much is absorbed, heaven and earth will completely decay and be destroyed.

In order to save itself, the heaven and earth will instinctively release the Three Disasters and Five Catastrophes, causing the cultivators to suffer disasters and perish continuously. Then the original true energy in the cultivators' bodies will return to the heaven and earth, repairing the damaged heaven and earth and delaying the time of extinction.

"It turns out that this world has the Five Deteriorations of Heavenly Beings, and the root cause comes from those top-level cultivators."

Ji Shu suddenly realized.

He used to wonder why the low-level cultivators in this world would suffer from the Five Decays of Heaven and Man every few hundred years, and most of the low-level cultivators could not survive the Five Decays of Heaven and Man. Those who managed to survive would be very old and had to use the trick of "eating spirits" to absorb and refine the "spirituality" and "blood, flesh and essence" of the ascenders or other cultivators to restore themselves.

The root cause of this massive disaster for the lower-level cultivators in this world is: the top cultivators who have practiced the peerless method of the Great Heavenly Immortal Art!!

Most of the laws of this world are based on absorbing the energy from heaven and earth, but most of what is absorbed is superficial energy.

Like spiritual energy, pure air, the air of the sky, the air of the earth, etc., these are all the breaths that this world actively releases, just like human breathing.

The original qi of heaven and earth is the qi that the world cannot release actively; it is like human blood, flesh, bones, etc., which are buried deep in the depths of heaven and earth.

Once this original energy is consumed too much, it is conceivable that the collapse of heaven and earth will inevitably become the final outcome!

“No wonder the legendary world doesn’t have the Five Degenerations of Heaven and Man, but this world does!!”

Ji Shu was relieved.

The strongest person in the legendary world has only just stepped into the path of immortality. How could he have the ability to absorb the original energy of heaven and earth?

But the strong people in this world are different. They have transcended time and space, control the world, and have even reached the level of being able to refine three thousand worlds!
What kind of mythical figure is this?
For a person like this to grow to this point, there must be a unique way for him to do so.

Just think about the method of the Great Heavenly Immortal Art and you will understand.

Others are drawing on the surface energy;
This strong man is already absorbing blood, bones, etc. to cultivate. How can his progress in cultivation be compared with that of a cultivator who absorbs the aura of the surface?

"However, precisely because this method can seize the fortune of heaven and earth and invade the mysteries of the sun and the moon, it is extremely against the will of heaven, so those who practice this method will inevitably be constantly harassed by the three disasters and five calamities. And the seventy-two transformations are the peerless magic to avoid the three disasters and five calamities. It can only be said that the practitioners in this world have thoroughly studied the magic tricks on how to become stronger and avoid sequelae."

Ji Shu realized it and was glad that he was decisive enough to catch the six-eared macaque.

If not.

Want to obtain the Great Heavenly Immortal Art? I'm afraid you're just dreaming!
"Even the Ancestral Dragon Divine Art is not this domineering."

The Zulong Divine Art is mostly used to temper one's own immortality, absorb the five energies, and condense the five-energies' magical powers;
However, this great celestial immortal art can make one immortal both inside and outside. It can not only absorb the five energies, but also absorb the essence of heaven, earth and man. Finally, it can condense the three flowers on the top of the head and attain the status of Daluo Immortal!

only.

The Great Heavenly Immortal Art does not explain how to break through to the Daluo Immortal level.

It only talked about the method of condensing the five energies and three flowers.

But this is enough for Ji Shu.

His Ancestral Dragon Divine Art was cut off from the Taiyi Golden Immortal's path because this method was only a fragment.

However, the Great Heavenly Immortal Art is almost a complete version, with specific methods of practice from Qi training to the perfect stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

Ji Shu just needs to practice step by step.

However, the painting world is not suitable for practicing this method, so Ji Shu immediately jumped out of the painting world and arrived at the Tang Dynasty Library.

'Meet the Dragon King!'

When Cheng Yaojin, Wu Zetian and others saw Ji Shu, they immediately bowed deeply.

Ji Shu smiled and gestured for no formality, then spoke a few words to the crowd, and transformed himself into a monkey. This monkey looked like a golden monkey, with golden hair all over its body, wearing chain mail and a purple gold crown on its head. Looking majestic, he grinned at everyone, then somersaulted and instantly flew straight into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, disappeared without a trace.

"..."

Wu Zetian, Li Shimin and others looked at each other in shock.

They didn't understand why the previous Dragon King suddenly turned into a monkey!
"Perhaps the Dragon King knows the art of transformation."

Wu Zetian's words made everyone suddenly realize, "That's right, most gods can perform transformations. There's no reason why the Dragon King can't do it. But why didn't the Dragon King bring the queen with him this time?"

Wu Zetian was also depressed and confused, and looked a little uncomfortable after hearing what everyone said.

Li Shimin comforted them with a few words and asked everyone to seize the time and practice well.

He looked in the direction where Ji Shu left, thinking to himself: "This Dragon King has helped me enough. But I have no way to repay him. I just don't know what the Dragon King is doing every time he comes and goes in a hurry. Next time he comes back, I have to ask him whether my human race needs to set up a dragon sacrifice for him."

……

A somersault cloud appeared under Ji Shu's feet, and with one somersault he could travel a great distance of 180,000 miles.

I have to say. The Somersault Cloud is really a supreme magical power for traveling, it is extremely convenient!
And now he used the 72 transformations of the Earthly Evils, and the golden monkey that he transformed into could also automatically conceal the aura of the Ascendant on his body! It can be said that now Ji Shu is covered in the painting world, unless he uses a peerless treasure to illuminate, ordinary fire eyes and golden pupils may not be able to see what his true form is.

For this reason, Ji Shu did not bring Wu Zetian with him on this trip. Instead, he followed the route map given by Well Dragon King 'Ao Lian', East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang and others, and somersaulted to the place where the Five Fingers Mountain was located.

He was covered in a painting world, and with the help of the invisibility technique, dragon concealment technique and other magic, his figure almost merged into one with the clouds and mist. Even if Taiyi Jinxian came, he would not be able to detect any clues.

At this moment, golden light shone brightly in his eyes, and he stood above the clouds, overlooking the Five Finger Mountain.

It was a devastating scene with rocks collapsing everywhere.

There is no Five Finger Mountain, only a wasteland filled with waste rocks and gravel.

Moreover, this wasteland is isolated from the original energy of heaven and earth, and the spiritual energy is almost cut off.

Even if Sun Wukong has cultivated extraordinary supernatural powers and magic, without resource supplies, he will be suppressed here and unable to move for five hundred years.

"Did the Tathagata Buddha specifically seek out this remote place? It doesn't seem likely. It seems more like someone has been cultivating here and sucked the original energy of the earth dry."

Ji Shu seemed to be thinking about something, and with another somersault, he arrived at Yingchoujian, a ravine as deep as an abyss. The ravine was surrounded by mountains on all sides. The peaks were as sharp as knives, steep and smooth as mirrors. Even an ordinary eagle could not land here, let alone a mortal.

This mountain stream was full of spiritual energy and was a suitable place for spiritual practice. However, it was now filled with gloom and sadness. Ji Shu looked with his sharp eyes and saw a black turtle suppressed at the bottom of the mountain stream. There was a psychic snake on the turtle's back, spitting out its tongue.

"The mysterious beast Xuanwu?"

Ji Shu counted with his fingers and was secretly surprised: "Why is Xuanwu here? Isn't this where the little white dragon Ao Lie stays?"

He was puzzled and calculated carefully, but got nothing. However, he was now skilled and bold, so he looked around and saw that no one was paying attention. He somersaulted and fell to the bottom of the deep ravine. He came in front of the Xuanwu and faced him face to face.

The black tortoise had its eyes closed, but the giant snake coiled on top of it had its eyes open.

It was this big snake that was looking at Ji Shu at this moment.

Its pair of snake eyes were deep and sharp, and it looked Ji Shu up and down with surprise in its eyes:
"Who is Your Excellency? Why have I never seen or heard of such a person before?"

A closer look.

The back of this black tortoise is as broad as the earth, and its head is like a mountain. The giant snake on its back is no less than a thousand feet long, with its head standing upright, like a divine dragon poking its head out from the clouds and overlooking the world. Its divine majesty is so awe-inspiring that people can't help but feel awe-inspiring.

brush!
As soon as the big snake's voice fell, the black tortoise's eyes suddenly opened. He looked at Ji Shu carefully twice, and the Bagua diagram on his back suddenly glowed. After a while, he trembled and said with emotion:
"Your Excellency is so majestic and awe-inspiring that you are not an ordinary person. Xuanwu greets Your Excellency."

When the big snake heard this, it also hurriedly followed suit and saluted, saying, "Please forgive us, Your Majesty. We are guilty and cannot transform into human form to pay our respects to Your Majesty."

Ji Shu nodded to show his understanding and asked why this happened.

The big snake looked at the black turtle, and the black turtle nodded. Then it said:

"Our Xuanwu clan should have perished along with the decline of the Qilin clan in ancient times. But later, those great masters discovered that we have the magical function of suppressing the earth veins and communicating with the original energy of the earth, so they captured our Xuanwu clan and suppressed us at the nodes of the key earth veins in various parts of the earth! This is a key node. We have been suppressed here for tens of thousands of years. Normally, ordinary gods and Buddhas cannot see us, but we never expected that today we were seen by Your Excellency. There is only one possibility, Your Excellency is a great master with supreme supernatural powers, who can see through illusions and see the essence."

Ji Shu was moved, "So, you can't move?"

"It's not that I can't move. It's that I don't dare to move."

The black tortoise also spoke at this time:
"The world is already riddled with holes. If we move, even a single move will affect the entire world, and I'm afraid it will trigger a catastrophe. By then, how many innocent people will be killed or injured?"

"Besides that, it's also related to us being sealed here."

The big snake looked at the direction of the sky curtain and thought: "That great man has not come to reinforce the seal for tens of thousands of years. It seems that the reason why Your Excellency can see us today must be because the seal has weakened a lot. But even so, the few people in the pilgrimage team are blind in front of us. It can be seen that Your Excellency's cultivation must be far superior to theirs."

Ji Shu smiled, neither refutating nor agreeing.

If it was Sun Wukong in his prime, he might not be far superior, but the current Sun Wukong, according to the words of Liu Er Mihou, has been suppressed in such a desperate place as the foot of the Five Elements Mountain for a full five hundred years, and even his immortal golden body was almost destroyed. It is normal for him to fall to the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal.

It seems understandable that one cannot see the Black Tortoise here because of insufficient cultivation level. Of course, the fact that Ji Shu can see the Black Tortoise is also related to the perfection of his Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils, as well as his own 'Sky Eyes'. The cooperation between the Sky Eyes and the Fiery Eyes and Golden Pupils enables him to easily find out the truth of this place, see the true appearance of the Black Tortoise, and uncover the secrets of this place.

Ji Shu then said that he needed to practice a secret technique, and wondered if Xuanwu could help him connect with the earth's energy.

Xuanwu was silent for a while before he said:

"In the past, when those great men cultivated, they would let us assist them in connecting with the earth's energy. But as those great men reached perfection in their cultivation, we were abandoned here for thousands of years. Now that Your Excellency needs our help, we should naturally agree. However, we ask Your Excellency to find a way to replenish the earth's energy if there is an opportunity after your cultivation is successful, because the earth's energy is the origin of the world. Once it is depleted, it is difficult to repair itself. If it cannot be repaired for a long time, the world will be broken and disasters will continue. If this continues, I am afraid it will usher in the end of the world."

He was worried.

Ji Shu responded solemnly and promised that if there was a chance, he would definitely make up for it.

Xuanwu looked at Ji Shu deeply and said:

'I just calculated you. You are different from other great cultivators. I see hope in you to repair the broken world. If not, I would have informed other great cultivators as soon as you landed here.'

Ji Shu's heart skipped a beat.

The big snake's eyes were smiling: "Although we are suppressed here, we can easily communicate with the big figures behind the scenes. However, our Xuanwu clan has been suppressed for thousands of years, and we don't like these big figures, and we can even say that we hate them.

If they were not busy refining the Three Thousand Worlds, and the world was filled with calamity and the secrets were not revealed, we would not dare to tell you these words, because once we said them, they would definitely sense it at the first time, and then suppress us again in a snap of a finger, making it difficult for us to speak. I can only say that you chose a good time and came at the right time! "

The black tortoise nodded:

"This is a disaster caused by the gods, especially those great cultivators, who wantonly absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, causing damage to heaven and earth. This kind of disaster is very difficult to resolve. It requires killing many strong people along the way and using their essence to feed back to heaven and earth, so as to slightly suppress the flooding disaster energy in heaven and earth! It is for this reason that there is this journey to the West to obtain scriptures. It is said to be a journey to obtain scriptures, but the purpose is just to let Sun Wukong's team kill more strong people!"

The snake said:
“Even if Sun Wukong and the others don’t kill them, the gods and Buddhas who have collected those strong men behind the scenes will break or cripple their bodies and let their essences return to the heaven and earth!”

Ji Shu was stunned. This was different from the Journey to the West story he remembered. But thinking about the particularity of this world.
