Chapter 275: The Great Dao Longevity Sutra - Wheel Sea Volume
Eastern Wasteland and Southern Territory.
In just three months, the ultimate weapons of the Ji family and the Yaoguang Holy Land revived twice on their own to protect their masters, causing a sensation throughout the world.
And this time the Yakuza's revival is even more terrifying than the last one.
The last time, the Ji family and the Yaoguang Holy Land’s ultimate imperial weapons were revived because the Divine Silkworm Princess and the Fighting and Victory Buddha used three ancient imperial weapons when they attacked the ancient forbidden area.
But this time the recovery seems a bit mysterious.
Especially the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth mourning that enveloped half of the southern region made people even more uneasy.
The terrifying thunder floating in the sky near the ancient forbidden area has an aura of annihilation.
All the great saints and powerful men were terrified.
Especially the mysterious mist rising from the ancient forbidden area and the mysterious figure in the mist, which makes people worry whether the existence in the forbidden area of life is about to come out?
Will there be unrest in the restricted area?
At the same time, the terrifying divine thunder that appeared in the sky near the ancient forbidden area, which almost covered an area of 100,000 miles, was even more puzzling.
If that divine thunder was a natural calamity, there must be someone who was going through it.
However, the divine thunder seemed to have no target. It just kept accumulating in the sky, but not a single bolt of thunder fell to the ground.
Finally, a ray of immortal light that emerged from the ancient forbidden area directly dispelled the strange phenomenon that enveloped half of the southern region, and gave people endless reverie.
In the major sects in the Southern Region, domain gates were constantly being opened, and super masters from the five major domains of the world appeared in the Southern Region one after another.
Even the God King Jiang Taixu and Tianxuan Wei Yi appeared in Yan State.
The Holy Lord of the Ji Family, the Holy Lord of Yaoguang, the Master of Taixuan Sect, the Master of Xiaoyao Sect, and other leaders of the major forces in the Southern Region also appeared in the capital of the State of Yan.
Everyone is worried that changes in the ancient forbidden area will cause immeasurable impacts.
In addition, many ancient kings who received the news headed south.
It seemed that the State of Yan, where the ancient forbidden area was located, was about to become a new place where storms gathered. But at this moment, the aura of a great emperor suddenly spread between heaven and earth, shaking the nine heavens above and frightening the nine underworlds below. All spirits felt it and had to submit.
"Has someone achieved enlightenment?" All the powerful men from various races who appeared in the Southern Region were shocked.
A figure surrounded by fairy light stood above, with the sun and the moon rotating around him, and stars surrounding him. There were real dragons, unicorns, red birds, and black tortoises following him. The myriad ways of heaven and earth of the Big Dipper resonated with him, and a golden avenue appeared under his feet.
The Great Saint Body reappeared in the world, as if he was a real ancient emperor. He became immortal, entered the ancient mines, frightened all races, and finally disappeared in the endless wilderness of the Southern Region.
Countless people forgot their original intention of coming to the Southern Region and began to look for the trace of the Great Holy Body.
Compared with the great holy body that reappeared in the world, the noise Li Zhi made was still too weak.
Just like a hot spot, what suppresses a hot spot is never the hot spot itself, but a new hot spot that attracts more attention.
When the Great Saint Body reappeared in the world, the aura of the Great Emperor that seemed to have affected the operation of all laws of the world in the Eastern Wilderness also made Li Zhi end his retreat.
Arriving at the small square in front of the Taoist palace, Li Zhi looked in the direction where the Great Saint Body disappeared, with a thoughtful look on his face.
However, the thoughtful look in Li Zhi's eyes only lasted for a moment before being replaced by a determined look.
He didn't want his future to be like that of the great saint he had achieved in the past, who possessed extraordinary combat power that surpassed that of ordinary saints, but had made no achievements on the road to immortality.
Their lifespan is no longer than that of ordinary alternative enlightened people.
The appearance of the Great Saint Body further strengthened Li Zhi's determination to embark on the path to immortality.
Even if it means sacrificing some combat power, we must never allow time to erode us and eventually die of old age.
Which is more important, combat power or immortality? If one were in a world where immortality is possible, combat power would naturally be more important. However, in today's broken world, for cultivators, immortality seems to be more important than combat power.
Even if one has incredible combat power but does not have the fruit of immortality, he will inevitably turn into a handful of earth in the end.
If you obtain the fruit of immortality first, you will have unlimited time in the future to improve your combat power.
The essence of combat power is nothing more than the application of Tao and Fa, and nothing more than a competition of each other's potential and will.
Although combat effectiveness is important, in the absence of the fruit of immortality, combat effectiveness is actually the least important thing.
It is a great irony that he has great fighting power but can only watch himself getting older day by day.
Therefore, in Li Zhi's opinion, the ancient emperors and great emperors were undoubtedly qualified warriors, but not qualified Taoists.
What Taoists pursue is immortality, what they pursue is the eternal existence of the Tao, what they pursue is to be beyond the heaven and earth and not be within the five elements, what they pursue is that time will not interfere with their bodies and that the years will not disturb them, what they pursue is that the heaven and earth will perish while their bodies remain. As for powerful combat power, it is just a means to protect the Tao.
In the normal immortal world, most of the cultivators who pursue ultimate combat power are guardian gods.
The most famous example is Erlang Shen Yang Jian, who was appointed as the guardian of Xuanmen by Yuanshi Tianzun in the world of Fengshen. He had the power of Eight or Nine Mysterious Arts, but he still could not be considered a true immortal.
Seeing that Li Zhi appeared unharmed, the four maids, the little Qilin, and the divine deer Xiaobai all came to his side.
"Boss Changshou, are you really okay? I knew you were the best." The little Qilin jumped in front of Li Zhi, extremely active.
Before this, the strange phenomenon that appeared above the dojo was really scary.
They were even prepared to die with Li Zhi.
"Are you hoping something happens to me?" Li Zhi was a little puzzled.
Then, looking at the four maids with red eyes, Li Zhi asked, "Meng Zhang, what happened before?"
Meng Zhang told Li Zhi everything they had seen, which left Li Zhi dumbfounded.
"Is there any mysterious person appearing in the dojo?" Li Zhi remembered the voice he heard before and asked hurriedly.
"No." The four maids shook their heads almost at the same time.
The little Qilin said, "Boss Changshou, a beam of fairy light erupted from the Ancient Forbidden Zone, and then all the strange phenomena disappeared. Did the Supreme Being in the Ancient Forbidden Zone take action?"
The four maids and the divine deer Xiaobai all looked at the little Qilin in confusion.
The little Qilin beast didn't understand why everyone was looking at him, so he said, "Didn't the boss say that he has a relationship with the supreme being in the ancient forbidden area, so even if he does something terrible, someone will cover it for him."
As soon as these words were spoken, the four maids and the divine deer Xiaobai all looked at Li Zhi in surprise.
“Master, could it be that your true identity is actually the Forbidden Zone?” As the descendant of a great demon living in the Central Region not far from the Immortal Mountain, the Divine Deer Xiaobai had naturally heard of the legend about the Forbidden Zone.
According to the legend of the Central Region, within each life restricted area, there is a group of young people with extraordinary talents sleeping in the divine source. When they appear in the outside world one day, it is a sign that the dark turmoil is about to break out. "Master, are you really a forbidden area child?" The four maids also remembered the information they had read about Li Zhi's identity and origin.
The first time Li Zhi appeared in Beidou, he appeared in the ancient forest near the ancient forbidden area.
Unlike Saint Body Ye Fan and others who have been confirmed by major forces to be from outside the domain, few major forces can confirm Li Zhi's true origins.
Even if one had witnessed the Nine Dragons pulling the coffin down at the Demon King's Palace in the ancient forbidden area, one could not be 100% sure that Li Zhi was from outside the area.
Even after Nan Yao and his sister communicated with Li Zhi and learned from Li Zhi that he was from outside the domain, they still remained a little skeptical.
They were worried that Li Zhi's so-called coming from outside the domain was just a disguise after searching the souls of Ye Fan's companions, and his true origin was from the Forbidden Zone of Life.
Especially after Li Zhi set up the dojo so close to the ancient forbidden area, this worry became even stronger in many people's minds.
The reason why the little Qilin had such an idea was because of Li Zhi’s nonsense back then.
When Li Zhi was chatting with the talkative little Qilin beast, he told it the truth about the so-called seven forbidden zones of life.
For example, the Taikoo Mine is just a portal for the strong to return, the Immortal Tomb is just a fragment of burial soil, the Samsara Sea is just the place where the Underworld Emperor once sat in seclusion to complete his transformation, Changcang Island is just the peak of a sacred mountain, the Shenxu are just some relics of the heaven in the mythological era, and so on.
Of course, there are also descriptions about the ancient forbidden zone. He told the little Qilin that the ancient forbidden zone is actually a place for immortality, where some humans who can live forever live. It is a life forbidden zone belonging to the human race.
Unexpectedly, the words that were said casually that year were firmly remembered by the little Qilin beast.
Seeing the four maids and the divine deer Xiaobai seemed to confirm Li Zhijue's identity.
Li Zhi knew that he must not let them have such wrong ideas.
Then he forcibly changed the subject and said, "During this retreat, I realized an ancient scripture. Would you like to listen to it? The various strange phenomena that appeared in the sky above the Taoist temple before were actually celestial phenomena when the ancient scripture was born. It is not what you imagined."
"Legend has it that when the ancient emperors completed the ancient scriptures they created before their death, all kinds of inexplicable mysterious phenomena would appear. Could it be that the ancient scriptures created by you, my master, can rival the scriptures of the ancient emperors?" Hongye, who was well-read, looked at Li Zhi with shock on his face and said.
"Boss Changshou, have you really created an ancient scripture that is comparable to the great emperor? Then is the "Qilin Sutra" that you promised me also about to be completed?" The little Qilin excitedly jumped directly into Li Zhi's arms.
"You'll have to wait a little longer for your Qilin Sutra." Li Zhi said as he rubbed the head of the little Qilin.
"Master, please explain your scriptures to us." Meng Zhang and others all stared at Li Zhi eagerly.
Since coming to the Taoist temple, Li Zhi has never given a sermon. They have been looking forward to listening to Li Zhi's sermon for a long time.
They all knew that their master's Taoism was unfathomable and that he could often point out the key points in their practice in just a few words, but they had never heard Li Zhi preach in a systematic way.
Seeing their eager eyes, Li Zhi nodded and said, "You have all been my disciples until now, but you have never listened to my preaching. It's not that I didn't want to preach before, but the ancient scriptures I practiced were created by others, not the great way I practiced. Now that my "Great Way Longevity Sutra" Wheel Sea Volume has been completed, it's time to preach to you."
Afterwards, the four maids, the little Qilin, and the divine deer Xiaobai returned to their respective caves to bathe and change clothes, waiting for Li Zhi to give a sermon the next morning.
The next morning, when the first ray of sunlight spread across the earth.
"Ding!" The sound of jade chimes being struck was heard in Li Zhi's Taoist temple.
The four great maids, the little Qilin, and the divine deer Xiaobai came out of their caves after hearing the sound, and then rode the divine rainbow directly to Li Zhi's Taoist palace.
On the Taoist platform, Li Zhi, wearing a purple and white Taoist robe and holding a silver dragon whisk in his hand, sat there like a god.
Under the Taoist platform, a two-foot-tall golden divine egg stood quietly on a cushion. A mysterious golden light flowed on the surface of the divine egg, and mysterious runes flashed from time to time. There was a faint spiritual consciousness lingering on the surface of the divine egg.
After seeing the divine egg, everyone was curious but did not ask about its origins.
Li Zhi also had no intention of introducing the divine egg to them.
After they sat down on their respective cushions, everyone discovered that the cushion occupied by the divine egg was actually closer to Li Zhi's platform than their cushions.
"The Great Way is formless and has no appearance. It is mixed with things and was born before heaven and earth. The word "strong" is the Way. At the beginning of all things, life and death follow each other."
The mysterious heavenly sound of the Tao came slowly from Li Zhi's mouth, and soon he explained the Tao he practiced by turning it into a practice scripture.
Be it the golden divine egg, the four maids, the little Qilin, or the divine deer Xiaobai, all their minds were drawn into a mysterious Taoist realm by Li Zhi's preaching.
There they saw the full picture of the Wheel Sea Scroll of the Great Way and Longevity Sutra created by Li Zhi.
It is very different from the practice method of the Wheel of Sea Scroll in the mortal world.
The Wheel Sea Volume of the "Great Way of Longevity Sutra" is divided into ten chapters, which can also be seen as ten steps, or ten levels of realm.
It explains the true meaning of the secret realm of Wheel Sea, or the truth about the existence of life, from the shallow to the deep.
The first chapter talks about how to open up the sea of suffering. It starts with what the sea of suffering is, then goes into the ways and methods of opening up the sea of suffering, and finally, it talks about what it will look like when the sea of suffering is opened up to the extreme. All are explained in detail.
The second chapter talks about grabbing the life spring and eventually transforming the life spring into a life channel.
The third chapter is no longer about setting up a divine bridge, but about opening up a life pool, creating a life pool in the sea of suffering, so as to greatly strengthen the life source of the cultivator.
The fourth chapter, which is the fourth step of cultivating the secret realm of the sea of suffering, is to create the abyss of death. This step mainly describes how to create the abyss of death in the sea of suffering.
The fifth step is about how to condense the Death Grinding Wheel corresponding to the Wheel of Life in the Abyss of Death Qi. The birth of the Death Grinding Wheel also indicates that the life and death qi of the human body will all be controlled by the monks.
The sixth step is to create the world, using the Wheel of Life and the Millstone of Death in the Secret Realm of Wheel Sea as the foundation to divide the two realms of life and death, accumulate the original life and death energies, and prepare for the cultivators to control the life and death energies.
In the seventh chapter, the story begins to tell about the evolution of the world of life, which eventually evolved into an immortal world.
The eighth step is to evolve the world of death and transform it into the Nine Netherworlds.
In the ninth chapter, the mutual transformation of the two energies of life and death is explained. Between the two worlds, a reincarnation channel is evolved, which allows the two energies of life and death to reincarnate and transform into each other.
The last chapter is also the only step that Li Zhi's Lunhai Secret Realm has not touched. In the two realms of life and death, the Emperor of Heaven and the Empress of Earth are respectively bred. Emperor of Heaven and Empress of Earth are the gods of the great Dao and the law that govern the Lunhai Secret Realm. After cultivation, they can independently evolve the Yin and Yang realms in the Lunhai Secret Realm.
The sound of the Supreme Dao echoed in the hall.
As Li Zhi explained the scriptures, gradually everyone below the stage began to show signs of strain.
It seems that I cannot understand the content of the scriptures at all.
Especially after the third chapter, the more they listened, the more confused they became.
Even after the sixth chapter, I couldn't understand a single word.
