The sect of life and death and mountains and rivers.

Inside the palace.

Ji Xia used the destiny to "perform the Dao in the world" and performed a Dharma for the Taoist practitioners.

【The Way of the World】

[You have a chance to break the limits of martial arts and magic for yourself and others. (Six steps or less)]

First time trying my hand at it.

Zuo Shanhe has mastered the fourth-step peak technique, the Soul Nirvana Technique, and has hope of reaching the fifth step.

Ji Xia realized the perfection of the Mysterious Art of Life and Death from Zuo Shanhe, and successfully switched to practicing the 'Primordial Spirit Nirvana Art'.

although,

The Taoist who practices Dharma is far inferior to Zuo Shanhe.

But according to the introduction of destiny.

The teachings of the Tao in the world will certainly require the recipient to integrate all his life's learning, break through a 'boundary' and take a small step forward.

Although, while gaining tremendous benefits, Ji Xia will also be affected by deducing the grantor's huge soul and observing his memory.

But the life of a Taoist who practices law is not even one-third as eventful as Zuo Shanhe’s. Even Zuo Shanhe could survive it, let alone his disciples?
Just think of it as the "reward" given by me in the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect.

But in Zuo Shanhe's eyes.

Ji Xia and the Taoist practitioner closed their eyes almost at the same time, one after the other, and gradually began to separate themselves from the real world, entering a rather mysterious "inner realm".

"Is this the method that Li Taxian used to ask me to understand the 'mystery of the primordial spirit'?"

"It's really mysterious, it's really incredible!"

Standing up from the chair, Zuo Shanhe, dressed in a wide robe with big sleeves, had a gleam in his eyes and could not help but admire.

At the same time, there are some concerns:

"Feng Zizai of the Wuwei Sect searched for the sixteen strongest sects, traveled through mountains and rivers, and visited ruins one by one, finding all kinds of methods. Four months ago, he could not figure out a single method of being a real person, and only comprehended a half-finished real person technique."

“It is enough to show how difficult it is to create a law.”

"Logically speaking, I myself cannot create the Yuan Shen Nirvana Gong, but Ta Xian actually asked me to extract all the essence of the Life and Death Mountain and River Mysterious Art, add my own ideas, and create it from scratch and perfect it."

"This skill of turning decay into magic, which can be called turning stone into gold, I have only seen it in the Taoist book Daozu Tianzun."

"If the news leaks out"

“I’m afraid the whole world will go crazy about it!”

"If you are just a guest, it's fine, but if you are held hostage by someone with ulterior motives..."

"Willn't I be reduced to a puppet, used by others for the rest of my life?"

For a moment, Zuo Shanhe thought of the "Tongye Mansion" at the foot of the mountain, and his eyes showed a pensive look.

The Life and Death Mountain and River Sect is a sect on the mountain. He can travel freely by himself and roam freely in the five northwestern states, but Li Taxian cannot.

After experiencing a series of changes and events, Zuo Shanhe had long regarded Li Taxian as his own son, no different from the successor he had cultivated for decades.

He has to consider a way out for his descendants.

"The world is now in turmoil, and the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect cannot protect him."

"But if we do the opposite, we can ask Taxian to build and support his own power."

"With his methods, establishing a business is as easy as pie!"

"But, I still don't know this child very well. In more than four months, I have never asked him about his ambitions. I don't know whether he wants to be a mountain man and cultivate the way to heaven, or come down the mountain to help humanity and achieve unparalleled merit."

"After he preaches, we need to ask him about it."

Zuo Shanhe was making plans in his mind.

the other side.

The Taoist who received Ji Xia's "The Way of the World"
The original strength of the Dragon and Tiger Realm, as it gradually improved, actually began to boil up gradually, causing all the spiritual energy inside and outside the Mountain and River Palace to flow towards this place, surging like a storm!
At the same time, the hall seemed to be gradually suppressed by a nascent 'embryo' domain, causing Zuo Shanhe to raise his head unconsciously:
"The realm of heaven and man?"

He muttered to himself, and looked at the Taoist practitioner's unconscious expansion of his spirit and soul, suppressing everything around him, as if he wanted to control everything inside and outside the palace. He raised his eyebrows:

"So this method can not only help people comprehend skills and martial arts, but also help them break through bottlenecks and improve their cultivation?"

“It’s really against the will of heaven!”

"Taxian, ah, you are too careless. If it weren't for your master, anyone in the world, even your father, would have revealed such a method before he had absolute strength."

"I'm afraid it's a disaster rather than a blessing!"

The embryonic idea in his mind solidified in an instant, and Zuo Shanhe unconsciously revealed a serious expression.

Wait, definitely!
I have to tell my little disciple that this kind of scary method cannot be used casually in front of others, otherwise if he is coveted,
Everyone in the world will be jealous!

"My my cultivation!"

suddenly,
The Taoist practitioner suddenly opened his eyes, and the shackles on his soul seemed to be broken with a "click". He suddenly sat up cross-legged, practicing his profound skills, and his aura rose steadily at this moment!
"I understand, I understand!"

"Thank you, Junior Brother, and thank you, Master!"

"I have realized the third level of the Mysterious Art of Life and Death Mountains and Rivers!"

His tone was full of excitement.

At the same time, a vague "gate of heaven" gradually appeared on the back, and at this moment, it even resonated faintly with the entire Nirvana Mountain.

Seeing the Taoist suddenly sit up and improve his cultivation, Zuo Shanhe nodded. Just as he was about to say "it's good once you understand it", he was shocked by the second half of the Taoist's words:
"etc."

"The Mysterious Art of Life and Death, the third level?"

"you!"

He stretched out his hand, trying to stop it.

However, as the mountains shook!

In the back mountain, there was a crack in the sky. Then it started to crack and split open!

Among them, streams of light wove into an illusory road, which flowed down, and a being wearing a 'Nirvana Phoenix Feather Robe' stepped out from it.

Upon closer inspection, the man had a majestic demeanor and a transparent body, which was obviously not his real body.

But the breath that emanates from my body
But it's like a real person!
Four months ago, cultivation was revived and the remains of a cave appeared.

Coincidentally, there is also one on the mountain behind Nirvana.

According to legend,

Any sect that has a "crack in the sky" represents the background of a patriarch.

However, in today's world, there is no sect or school that is sure that there is a patriarch who has walked out of the cave and walked in this world.

Even Zuo Shanhe only found a 'Blood Apricot Fairy Tree' around the crevice of the cave near Nirvana Mountain. After making sure there were no hidden dangers, he gave the only three apricots to Ji Xia, which formed his dragon and tiger foundation.

But I didn't expect it.

Just today!

Nirvana Mountain where the Shengsheng Shanhe Sect is located.
But it became the first time that a vivid character came to life, the first case of walking out of a cave!
This sudden change.

The entire Nirvana Mountain was alarmed.

Simultaneously.

Inside the Mountain and River Palace.

Ji Xia also opened her eyes.

At this moment, he had just begun to achieve the realm of 'Dragon and Tiger Divine Power', but as he was practicing Taoism in the world, he began to move infinitely closer to the 'Heavenly Realm' and reached the end of Yuan Dan, the peak of the third step.

just,

As someone who had seen his memories and participated in the Taoist's deduction of the future, he knew
The Taoist practitioners are not trying to comprehend the 'Primordial Spirit Nirvana'.

He realized
It’s the mysterious art of life and death and mountains and rivers!
It can be said,
Now that he has opened his eyes, when it comes to his comprehension of the profound art of life and death, mountains and rivers, no one in the entire mountain gate can compare with him!
But Zuo Shanhe had once told Ji Xia in person about the hidden dangers of this method, so he sealed it up.

Now the Taoist has completely completed his cultivation, and it seems that the "Gate of Heaven" is just before his eyes. Can he resist such temptation?
There was a lot of noise outside the hall.

But Zuo Shanhe looked at the Taoist's increasingly solid 'Gate of Heaven' and made a prompt decision to block its way!
The primordial spirit at the ancestral orifice between the eyebrows blossomed, and a giant hand that held up the sky was about to move and pressed on the half-open sky gate behind the Taoist practitioner, forcibly blocking his advancement!

He turned around and looked at his master, whose face was more serious than ever before. He was stunned:

"Master, my profound skill has already been completed. I have a feeling that I will succeed if I knock on the gate of heaven today. Why are you stopping me?"

Zuo Shanhe's eyes were cold and his sleeves were fluttering:

"Did I ever tell you?"

"To practice this method to open the gate to heaven, one must either kill fellow Taoists or use the blood of living beings to condense a large amount of 'Nirvana Tribulation', so that one can blast open the gate to heaven again and again and continue practicing?" The Taoist practitioner's eyes turned red:

"Master, how could I point my butcher knife at my fellow disciples?"

"If that day comes, just raise your sword and I will never fight back."

"There are so many vicious and evil people in this world. If knocking on the gate of heaven is really as you said, I will go down the mountain immediately to punish the evil and spread the reputation of my Xuanmen!"

Zuo Shanhe looked at this disciple coldly:

"If you don't kill your fellow disciples who practice this method, then the blood and energy you need will be thousands of times more. How many extremely vicious people can you find to help you advance?"

"Even if it's enough this time, what about next time?"

"Can you guarantee that your hands will never be stained with the blood of others?"

"I am the Life and Death Mountain and River Sect. You may have known about it before, but after you handed it over to me, you became a mysterious sect and practiced the law. I have personally trained you to this day. If you don't obey..."

"Master, I can only suppress you in Nirvana Mountain and seal you here!"

Ji Xia looked at this scene and frowned:

"So, 'The Tao is performed in the world'. What is performed is the Tao, but whether it is chosen, how the method is cultivated, and how much progress is made, all depends on the practitioner himself!"

This time, the Taoist priest who practiced Taoism broke through the 'heavenly realm' and entered the Yuandan heavenly realm from the Dragon and Tiger Realm, and was on the verge of the fourth step to knock on the heavenly gate.

As a result, I also benefited from it.

Ji Xia, who had just come out of retreat, had a deeper understanding of the attainments of the dragon and tiger divine power, and had even vaguely realized how to make the soul produce the 'heavenly realm', which at least shortened the process by several years, or even ten years!
But if Ji Xia were asked to choose, he would rather not play the role this time.

Watching the confrontation between the master and the disciple, and the tremors outside the mountain gate, Ji Xia vaguely felt
The real catastrophe that belongs to the 'Life and Death Mountain and River Sect' has only arrived today!
"Master, why don't you believe me?"

"You watched me grow up, don't you believe in my temper?"

"Also, there is one thing I have been hiding from you."

"Four months ago, when you disbanded the Mountain and River of Life and Death Sect, I heard the whispered message from my sect master!"

"Why did my practice of 'The Mysterious Art of Life and Death' make such rapid progress?"

"It's because of the guidance of an expert!"

As he spoke, the Taoist practitioner spoke fiercely, and suddenly pointed his finger at the outside world. The mountains shook, and a figure walked out of the crack in the cave, with dark clouds above his head, and walked towards the Mountain and River Palace in an upright manner!
"this."

"He was the 'ancestor' of my Life and Death Mountain and River Sect from the 'Era of Magic' hundreds of years ago!"

"The leader of the Nirvana Sect, a peerless and powerful person who had reached the 'Fifth Step' in his past life as a real body!!"

"It is said that my clan once worshipped a 'Six-Step True Lord', who was almost at the level of an immortal. Although I don't know the mystery behind it, the Mysterious Art of Life and Death Mountains and Rivers is enough to break through the shackles and break through the obstacles of the fourth step, or even the fifth step!"

"master."

“How can this be the wrong path?”

"Although the Primordial Spirit Nirvana Technique is good, this method..."

"It's obviously more suitable for us!"

Zuo Shanhe frowned and looked coldly, but saw————

The figure, wearing a Nirvana Phoenix feather robe, a jade and glazed crown on his head, with his arms wrapped around a magic sword to slay immortals, with snow-white hair and beard and an extremely young face, walked into the Mountain and River Palace step by step.

Then, he suddenly spoke:
"My seat."

"Nirvana Sect, King Jianglong."

"I learned from the Patriarch of Nirvana, 'The Immortal Nirvana Master'."

"The Mysterious Art of Life and Death, originally named 'Life and Death Nirvana Art', is a rare and miraculous method. Not to mention the real person, even those who seek the art can set foot on it."

"Youngster, your talent is better than mine. If the cave had not been dry for hundreds of years and urgently needed to replenish resources, you only needed to follow me into the Nirvana Sect. In less than sixty years, the door to the Dharma would be open to you!"

"Don't try to repair the path you created yourself."

"I see that your realm is quite high, and you have even created the ultimate method in the world. Then I will teach you the fifth step of the Nirvana Sect's true technique!"

"As for the saying that fellow disciples killed each other, when the Nirvana Sect was flourishing, there were branches all over the world. It was just like the saying 'people fight for the dragon'. Every hundred years, all branches would start a 'battle for the top spot' to see who was the true traitor and the real main branch. This was a fight for the Tao, and it was the only way to practice. They would never kill each other."

"Nowadays, although it is no longer as prosperous as it was in the past, there are so many evil demons in the world. I also know something about this world, such as demons and half-demons."

"If I hadn't returned yet, I would have captured and killed all of these demons and monsters and used them as nourishment for my disciples!"

"Fortunately, the world has once again set off a 'tide of cultivation'. This seat has a little inspiration and will pass on the wonderful Dharma and open the door to the great Dao for us, the younger generation."

“Daxing!”

Having said that, this was just a shadow, but it had the means of a real person. He opened his arms and made the mountains sway as if they were moved by him!
Zuo Shanhe's eyes turned completely cold:

"Ancestor?"

"Ancestor."

"This is my sect, not the sect you once belonged to."

"so."

"I, Zuo Shanhe, said so."

“That’s called the rules.”

His tone was calm, yet mixed with a storm.

Then, he looked at Ji Xia, pointed a finger, and transmitted his voice through his soul:

"Taxian, you go down the mountain first."

"This 'cave heaven'."

"At least, there's something wrong with the cave in Nirvana Mountain. We must not stay here!"

"Your talent is truly appalling. If you cannot establish yourself or support a force in the future, do not let those with ulterior motives know about it."

"Now the world is changing drastically. With this magical power, if you support and build a foundation, you are destined to rise. You can go find your senior sister Luo Fuyao who has inherited the same 'Primordial Spirit Nirvana Technique' and coexist with her in this chaotic world."

After all,

Zuo Shanhe used his magical powers to wrap Ji Xia up and wanted to send him out of Nirvana Mountain without any explanation.

During this time, Wang Jianglong saw Ji Xia and figured out his "destiny" just now, with a curious look in his eyes:

"My disciple is a 'destined one'. I will train him personally. It will be no problem for him to surpass me in the future!"

"Youngster, you can't send him away."

After saying that, he stepped forward and wanted to intercept, but...
As Zuo Shanhe's eyes swept across, an arm stretched out from the long sleeves and pressed hard towards His Highness Shanhe!

A circle of true energy rose up from his surroundings, spreading and expanding layer by layer!
Until it enveloped and covered the entire Mountain and River Palace, as if some kind of "formation" had been activated, preventing anyone who entered from leaving!
"Ancestor."

"I said that."

"This is my sect!"

"It's not yours."

The moment Ji Xia was pushed out of the Mountain and River Palace, he looked around.

But see.

The entire Nirvana Mountain!

Balls of light like his also rose up, as if to cover the thirty-six disciples. However, most of them ran out of the hall, began to resist Zuo Shanhe's guidance, and voluntarily broke away from his means!
Only a few remained awake.
Just like Ji Xia, he was sent down the mountain!

"Now, west of the Wei River, the old dragon king of Baopingzhou has come ashore and invaded Longxiang Mansion."

"Inside Tianlao Pass, Marquis Huwei, with a banner, stepped out of the pass and marched towards Tongye, intending to establish his own regime."

"They all think that the 'Tongye Mansion' has no real person born, so they are just prey."

"This caused war to break out in this state."

"Even many powerful sects are unable to take care of themselves. Although there are sects like Danxia Mountain and Jianxian Temple that are not willing to bear it, and disciples often go down the mountain to slay demons and monsters to help the people, it is just like drinking poison to quench thirst."

"Take the few remaining disciples who are still conscious with you. Unless you receive my order, do not come back. Go far away, leave far away, and then..."

"Build a power!"

"You can choose your own name, as long as it does not bring shame to your reputation and my teachings. It's all fine!"

And this is the Zuo Shanhe that Ji Xia heard.
Final advice.

Then, he and his six disciples fell into the forest at the foot of the mountain.

at the same time.

Because the first cave opened
There is a real person, and he is also shocked by this! (End of this chapter)
