Guan Liyuan translated the last paragraph on the stone tablet: "This person later found a kind of natural treasure called 'Dragon Crystal Stone' overseas. Its properties are as he speculated, and it can dissolve the evil spirit in the magic sword.

But when he sealed the ancient capital of Jiang Kingdom underground, he was afraid that the magic sword would come out, so even he himself could not crack it within hundreds of years, so he left this stone tablet, hoping that future generations would help him completely purify the magic sword."

Guan Liyuan estimated that this senior did not expect that the Penglai Sect would let fate take its course from generation to generation, and as a result, no one could understand the Ba Kingdom text he left behind, and the magic sword was not retrieved.

And the Dragon Essence Stone... Guan Liyuan did remember that there was something similar in the game!

It seems that after defeating the Penglai Sect, the next boss of Jiuding Mountain will leave it behind, but the origin and function of the game are not clearly stated, and even... a little strange?

For example, the game says that the Dragon Essence Stone can make antiques look new, so Jingtian was very happy after obtaining it...

Not to mention that some natural treasures can make antiques look new, what is the principle behind this - is it to deoxidize?

More importantly, after the antique becomes new, it must be a fake, right?

Jingtian was actually very happy after hearing this...

This is simply a great humiliation to the rich man Jing. According to Guan Liyuan's observation, Boss Jing only makes fakes look old, and Jingtian would never do such a thing as turning the real thing into a new one with treasures!

Now it seems that this thing may have been discovered in Penglai... And it is specially used to purify the magic sword and return it to its origin - after all, Longyang originally wanted to refine not the magic sword, but the "Heaven Sword" that could save the battle, and never thought of sacrificing the people of Jiang and the army of Yang together.

The reason for this consequence is the result of a series of accidents...

After understanding the text on the stone tablet, Jingtian also understood that this place must be opened with the magic sword - this is probably fate?

Even if Guan Liyuan was not there, Shang Fengzi might invite Jingtian and Zixuan to visit Penglai, Jingtian would see the stele, and for some reason, he would insert the magic sword into it, or Zixuan might know the words...

Jingtian followed what was written on the stele and inserted the magic sword into a sword slot on the top of the stele, and then the words on the stele flashed - the ban set by this senior was indeed outstanding and ingenious, and it could still be used after nearly 1,500 years!

Under the golden light of the flashing words, Guan Liyuan and others in front of the stele all disappeared.

At the same time, Shang Fengzi, who was looking at the list that Yuheng had taught him, suddenly felt something, opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the spar forest, and asked Yuheng: "Spar forest... who is there?"

"Spar forest? No junior brother should go there... Oh! By the way, it seems that Fellow Daoist Jing went in that direction." Yuheng said.

Shang Fengzi nodded slowly...

Jingtian and Guan Liyuan didn't know before that although there were not many Penglai disciples going to the Stone Bamboo Forest, it was actually a relic left by the first generation ancestor of Penglai.

The first generation ancestor of Penglai was born in the Spring and Autumn Period. Although it is said that he did not ascend to the realm of gods, he survived the five thunder tribulations and reached the state of "five qi returning to the origin", becoming a body of mixed primordial qi, and finally achieved the state of "true immortal".

However, the Stone Bamboo Forest is not the only relic left by the first generation ancestor on Penglai Fairy Island. It can even be said that it is just an inconspicuous site.

For the inscriptions left by the first generation ancestor, there are occasionally Penglai disciples who study the meaning of the Bawen on it. At first, some of them successfully translated it, but it was not because it was too early and the seal of the ancestor was not invalid, but because they were delayed by various things when they went to the ancient capital of Jiang State...

Later, it was rumored that the magic sword had been purified by a great man from the Shushan Taoist sect, and gradually no one cared about this stone tablet.

And now... Guan Liyuan also knows the identity of the owner of this relic!

After the golden light flashed, Guan Liyuan and the others were teleported to a crowded and small space - it was more like a tomb than a room, and it was the nine-foot space of an ordinary family. As soon as Hong Longkui came in, she felt crowded and went back to the magic sword.

"Huh? This is... inside the stone tablet?" Guan Liyuan immediately found something strange.

When he was outside before, Guan Liyuan didn't see anything special about this stone tablet, but it was easy to see the outside world from inside!

It was not a real tomb, and there was no coffin or anything like that. There was a stone platform at one end, and on it was a fist-sized, light yellow, glass-like translucent luster, but it felt a bit colloid. I think it was the "Dragon Essence Stone" mentioned by the Penglai Patriarch.

There were also many Bawen engraved on the surrounding stone walls. In addition, next to the Dragon Essence Stone, there were two jade slips. Guan Liyuan originally thought that it was the method of using the Dragon Essence Stone, so he asked Jingtian to read it, and he looked at the Bawen on the surrounding stone walls...

and found that it was also written "The Change of the Heavenly Sword", but the angle was different from that of the outside!

It turns out that this Penglai Patriarch was also a complete experiencer of the "Heavenly Sword Change"...

At that time, in order to forge a sword to save the country, Prince Longyang summoned several alchemists to study the casting method of the Heavenly Sword together, including the cultivator of Ba State, "Ningyangzi" who had not yet founded Penglai at that time.

Perhaps because he felt that this matter was extremely shameful, Ningyangzi engraved the true situation in it and only showed it to the Penglai disciples who retrieved the magic sword...

The casting method of this "Heavenly Sword" was a fragment left over from ancient times. After Longyang obtained it, he summoned the cultivators at that time, the so-called "alchemists", to study it together.

When casting reached the final stage, Ningyangzi had already discovered something wrong, and the sword embryo of the "Heavenly Sword" showed some signs of being unable to merge. At that time, some alchemists suggested to Longyang that "Virgin Blood" be used as a sword sacrifice to complete the final "quenching" of the Heavenly Sword.

The so-called "blood of virgins" is not about finding an unmarried girl and taking a few drops of blood. It is conservatively estimated that hundreds of people need to be killed...

Not only Ning Yangzi firmly opposed it, but Prince Longyang also flatly refused.

Later, other alchemists left the capital of Jiang State one after another because they had no other way, but Ning Yangzi stayed and continued to help Longyang find a solution.

Although Longyang decided by himself that he would not sacrifice his people to forge the sword, otherwise who would he protect by forging the sword? But Ning Yangzi believed that since he persuaded Longyang, he had the responsibility to find the correct way to forge the sword!

Moreover, Ning Yangzi practiced a magical out-of-body method - in the pre-Qin period, the relics of the ancient times of the human race had been almost consumed, and the new schools had not yet been stably inherited. At that time, the methods of cultivation were even more bizarre than now!

This method of leaving the body can make the soul leave the body. Unlike "weapon transformation", it is only a temporary out-of-body experience, and it is said that one can "observe the three realms in one day"...

Of course, this method of cultivation that has been basically eliminated has now been proven to have great drawbacks. The so-called "observing the three realms in one day" is also largely a boast.

However, Ning Yangzi did leave his body and sneak into the collection of classics in the surrounding countries to help Long Yang find the correct way to forge the sword. As a result, after returning, he found that the capital of Jiang State had been breached and King Jiang and his son died in battle!

In the end, Long Kui died by sacrificing the sword. Under the bloody rain, there was no life in the surrounding area for hundreds of miles...

Seeing this, Ning Yangzi couldn't help but feel guilty. If he could come back earlier, perhaps these would not have happened, and... he also found out sadly that his body was also passively "sacrificed to the sword"!

Leaving the body and dissolving the weapon are two different things. Without the body, Ning Yangzi's soul could not last for a few days.

Fortunately, outside the bloody rain, at the edge of the influence range of the "Heavenly Sword Change", Ning Yangzi found a special corpse...

Borrowing a corpse to revive the soul is not so easy to do. Even a real ghost cultivator can only borrow a corpse for a few days at most.

However, this corpse was killed by the "Heavenly Sword Change", so although his soul died, his body was still "alive". Because it was on the edge, the body did not completely melt in the blood rain, only one leg was crippled...

And Ning Yangzi was not a "ghost". His body was destroyed, and theoretically his soul was not dead, and he had not transformed into a ghost!

At this time, Ning Yangzi found that this corpse with a special cause of death was just right, so he didn't care about much and stayed in it first.

After that, he used the slight connection with the Demon-Transforming Heavenly Sword after his body was sacrificed to the sword, and successfully sealed it...

In theory, Ning Yangzi had done his duty to Jiang State, but at that time, the moral concept of "a scholar dies for his confidant" was prevalent, and the monks were inevitably affected by it. Ning Yangzi was particularly righteous, so he didn't do what he promised Long Yang, which made him feel very guilty.

At that time, he had found records about the "Dragon Essence Stone" and speculated that the "Dragon Essence Stone" might be the last material missing from the Heavenly Sword.

Therefore, with guilt, Ning Yangzi limped on the road to find the Dragon Essence Stone...

At that time, Ning Yangzi didn't know how many days he could live. After all, this body was not his own, and the corpses that died in the "Heavenly Sword Blood Rain" were unprecedented. However, according to the cultivation theory at that time... No, it should be said that even according to the current cultivation common sense, this kind of body and soul disharmony is a very serious problem, so he was prepared to die suddenly at any time.

However, he went all the way to the East China Sea, found the Dragon Essence Stone, and fortunately discovered the Penglai Small Immortal Realm. He didn't die, so he began to study the solution to the disharmony of body and soul...

And in the end, he really succeeded in cultivating to the realm of "Five Qis Converging to the Origin", and created the Taoist tradition of the Penglai School!

Just looking at it in this detailed way, Guan Liyuan only felt that this was an inspirational experience. After all, it was under extremely harsh conditions-even the body was not original! But he cultivated to the realm of true immortals, which had to be said to be a miracle.

Although the gate of Tianwei had been closed in that era, the weakening of spiritual energy was a gradual process after all, and the pre-Qin Qigong practitioners had caught the tail of some of the ancient Qigong practitioners' legacy, so the overall situation of the cultivation world was better than it is now.

At the same time, because most of the small fairy worlds that broke out of Pangu's heaven and earth had not yet been discovered, the number of cultivators was less than it is now, and the land immortals at that time could be called "legends".

And if you "roughly" extract the key words from this story...

Baguo, Ningyang, out of the body, the flesh is gone, the body is broken, and the east goes to Penglai...

Guan Liyuan feels a little mysteriously familiar!

In the world of Xianjian, not only is the general direction of history very similar to the Earth he is familiar with, but many legendary figures also have the same name and surname, and even have similarities, such as the Three Emperors of Kaitian, the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, Gonggong, and Zhuanxu...

At this time, Guan Liyuan referred to the experience of the first generation of Penglai Sect's ancestors, and this was completely confirmed-the first generation of ancestors' secular surname should be "Li", right?

In addition, Tianquan had inherited the sword art from the "Chun Yang Patriarch" of the pre-Tang Dynasty, and Yuheng had inherited the alchemy and mental skills from the "Zheng Yang Patriarch" who was born in the late Han Dynasty... and a banana fan!

Before, I just vaguely felt that this name sounded familiar.

Now Guan Liyuan is already 70% sure that if he changes to a name that he is more familiar with, the Chun Yang Patriarch should be Lü Zu and Lü Dongbin, and the Zheng Yang Patriarch is Han Zhongli and Zhongli Quan...

In other words, the legend of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" happened in Penglai...

Jingtian called out Hong Longkui and handed her a jade slip, but Hong Longkui threw it back in disdain. After looking at Jingtian, Hong Longkui shrank back into the magic sword.

"What's wrong again?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.

Jingtian scratched his head, handed the jade slip to Guan Liyuan and said, "One of these jade slips records the research records of Ningyang Patriarch on Dragon Essence Stone, and this one... is the cultivation method of 'Different Phase True Immortal'. I think Xiaokui can also use it."

Guan Liyuan's eyes lit up when he heard this. Did Ningyang Patriarch leave this "good thing" here?

The so-called "Different Phase True Immortal" is not a magical power, but refers to the method of Ningyangzi to become a true immortal when his body is not his own...

To achieve true immortality, "Five Qis Returning to the Origin" is the foundation.

"Five Qis Returning to the Origin" is also called "Mixed Origin One Qi". After reaching this state, the three souls and seven spirits will merge into one with the physical body, and can even transform into each other. After reaching this state, the Bingjie Stream cultivators can recreate the physical body with their spirits and souls.

From the perspective of the rules that Guan Liyuan is more familiar with, it means that in terms of the "self" rules, it has reached the point of entering the hall.

This is why the God Realm extradited human cultivators when they reached the state of "harmony between man and nature" before the Five Qis converged to the Origin...

The descendants of Nuwa also studied the God Realm's command and concluded that its principle is similar to that of fusing the cultivator with another "divine spirit" as the last Qi. In this way, when the "(4+1) Qis converged to the Origin" was reached, the other four Qis would also be affected by the divine Qi, making the final Hunyuan body a "God race".

Theoretically, if one reaches the state of Five Qis converged to the Origin before receiving the God Realm's command, the God Realm cannot change the race of the cultivator who has reached the state of "Hunyuan Yiqi"...

This also shows how rare the state of "Hunyuan Yiqi" is. When the acquired gods are first born, they are often only in this state.

However, the body of the Ningyang Patriarch is not his own. In theory, it is impossible for him to achieve Hunyuan Yiqi, but he succeeded!

Of course, this is not a technique worth promoting. In other words, it is an inspirational story of bravely making progress under various unfavorable conditions...

Although it has an inspiring effect, there is no need to create unfavorable conditions for yourself in order to cultivate into a "True Immortal with Different Appearances".

It is like the "One-armed Sword Technique" in the martial arts world, which was created by a one-armed hero. Because the sword passes through a broken arm, it is difficult for normal people to practice and defend... But I have never heard of anyone cutting off one arm specifically to practice the "One-armed Sword Technique"...
