"Teacher Yao, the teacher asked me to go to him. Not only did he accept me as his personal disciple, he also gave me a brand new technique, saying that it would replace the technique I originally practiced..."
Xiao Huo hesitated and took out the new skills that Lu Yuan had just passed on to him.
It is the book of immortal power of heaven and earth.
Looking at the new skills that Xiao Huo brought out, Yao Xuan nodded.
"The Immortal Heaven and Earth Technique. Just hearing the name of this technique, you know it's a good thing. Since it's given to you by your teacher, just practice it with confidence. Is there any problem? From the look of you, it seems that you still have some concerns?"
Yao Xuan expressed his incomprehension. After all these years of hard work, you finally regained the teacher's trust. The teacher accepted you as his disciple and gave you a more powerful new skill. Why are you still frowning?
Is it possible that he has become addicted to being a registered disciple?
Xiao Huo said: "It's not that simple, Teacher Yao, you also know that I have been practicing the Changchun Tongzi Kung Fu that my teacher gave me for many years, and it is not easy to practice to this level today.
You said that now the teacher has given me a new method and asked me to switch to this one, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Yao Xuan said: "Since it was given to you by the teacher, the teacher must have thought about it carefully before. Don't think too much. The teacher asked you to practice this, so you just practice this. Isn't it normal to change the practice method?"
After reaching a certain level of cultivation, one no longer needs to abandon all cultivation to switch to a new technique. It will simply take a few more decades to convert all the spiritual energy from the previous techniques into the spiritual energy of the new technique.
The higher the level of the technique, the less damage it will cause to one's own realm after the conversion.
The skills that the teacher took out must be of extremely high level, so Yao Xuan didn’t know what Xiao Huo was worried about. Is he afraid that the teacher would harm you?
Xiao Huo listened to Yao Xuan's words with a complicated expression, as if he had other thoughts, but he did not say it out loud.
He always felt that things were not that simple.
Yao Xuan said: "In short, don't think too much. Sometimes thinking too much is not good. Practice well and don't let your teacher down."
Yao Xuan patted his arm and spoke earnestly.
Before, Yao Xuan was also Xiao Huo's teacher. If it weren't for Lu Yuan, Yao Xuan should be the one practicing with Xiao Huo now. Yao Xuan also cares a lot about this former disciple of his.
At this moment, Yao Xuan just wanted to tell Xiao Huo that there would be nothing wrong in following the teacher's steps. Sometimes thinking too much would be counterproductive.
Xiao Huo nodded, left Yao Xuan's residence, returned to his own residence, and began to ponder.
Soon, Chen Nanxuan heard the news that Xiao Huo was accepted as a disciple by his teacher again, so Chen Nanxuan came to see Xiao Huo.
He saw Xiao Huo, who was deep in thought, at Xiao Huo's residence.
Xiao Huo told him about the new skills his teacher had given him.
Chen Nanxuan laughed when he heard it.
"Junior Brother Xiao, don't you understand yet?"
"What?" Xiao Huo looked at Chen Nanxuan, who understood his concerns immediately after listening to them, and he humbly asked for advice.
Chen Nanxuan said: "On the surface, the teacher gave you this powerful technique, but in fact it is a test for you!"
"test?"
"Yes, a test. Let me ask you, how many years have you and I been practicing the Changchun Tongzi Kungfu?"
Xiao Huo thought for a moment and said a number.
Thousands of years.
Chen Nanxuan nodded: "Yes, we have been practicing for thousands of years. We have survived all these years. You have relied on this technique to practice to the point of fusion and overcoming tribulations. Why did the teacher ask you to change the technique now?"
"In my opinion, this is a test for you. Let me analyze it for you. The technique we practice is called Changchun Tongzi Gong.
What is Changchun? The universe is in motion, things are developing constantly, and they are full of vitality. They are always in the spring of prosperity, just like a person who practices cultivation for ten thousand years, whose life always remains in the most brilliant spring. This is Changchun.
What is a virgin? One who is immortal and ageless, who remains like a child even if he lives for millions of years, and who does not change his mind is a virgin.
Changchun Tongzi, in other words, isn't that the immortality of heaven and earth?"
Chen Nanxuan began to interpret it in depth, and the more he interpreted it, the more it made sense.
He became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was analyzing the truth and seeing through everything.
"Let's speculate a little more boldly. Is there a possibility that the Changchun Tongzi Kung Fu that you and I have been practicing was originally named the Immortal Sutra of Heaven and Earth?
The new skill that the teacher gave you, the Immortal Heaven and Earth Sutra, is actually to test your Taoist heart. The teacher wants to see if you have the perseverance to continue practicing?
If you change your practice now and turn to practice the Immortal Heaven and Earth Sutra, it proves that you have no perseverance and are a person who gives up halfway. How can a person who gives up halfway achieve immortality?
If you can treat high-level techniques as dirt and persist in practicing the techniques you have been practicing for all these years, you may be able to find the true solution and comprehend the true method of immortality from the Changchun Boy's Technique."
"So, the teacher gave you the technique as a test for you. It is a test of whether your heart is firm in the Tao."
After Chen Nanxuan's profound interpretation, he directly interpreted the Changchun Boy's Skill as the Immortal Sutra of Heaven and Earth.
As Xiao Huo listened to his interpretation, he became more and more excited, and felt that it made sense.
He also felt that this was likely the case.
"Senior Brother Chen, do you also think that I shouldn't change my cultivation method?" Xiao Huo asked.
Chen Nanxuan nodded: "If you really change your cultivation method, then you are making a big mistake. If you go against your original intention, you will not go far in the future."
Chen Nanxuan shook his head, obviously not approving of Xiao Huo's change of cultivation method.
Xiao Huo: "I see, thank you for your guidance, Senior Brother. I will not change my cultivation method and will concentrate on practicing Changchun Gong from now on."
Xiao Huo's determination to follow the Tao was stronger than ever before. In order to prove his determination, he buried the Eternal Heaven and Earth Sutra that his teacher had just given him under a willow tree in the courtyard of his residence, and erected a stone tablet at the site.
[Xiao Huo's determination to prove his truth and to bury his scriptures]
When Chen Nanxuan saw what Xiao Huo did, he clapped his hands from behind: "Right, right, that's right! Junior Brother Xiao is indeed firm in his determination."
"Now that your heart is right, you will practice with me from now on. Follow me and I will take you to the Sutra Library to learn advanced martial arts. You and I will definitely surpass everyone in advanced martial arts in the future and impress everyone!"
Xiao Huo nodded and left with Chen Nanxuan.
But after they left.
Under the ground where Xiao Huo had just buried the skills, the roots of the old willow tree planted in the courtyard grew and touched the scripture.
In an instant, the energy turned into green fairy light, which was absorbed by the old willow tree and transformed into endless vitality that poured into the willow tree's body. This mortal willow tree, which was originally about to die, regained its vitality in just a moment and suddenly realized the immortal path of heaven and earth.
The Immortal Sutra of Heaven and Earth began to circulate within the willow tree. The willow tree began to learn to breathe in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and slowly began to practice.
…
In the Sutra Repository, Xiao Huo and Chen Nanxuan began to study the advanced martial arts of the Northern Continent Alliance in depth.
Looking at the mountain of high-level martial arts collected by Chen Nanxuan, Xiao Huo was stunned.
"Brother Chen, so many martial arts? Is it really necessary to learn so many?"
Xiao Huo remembered what their teacher had said in class before, that when learning martial arts, quality is more important than quantity. Even if a weak person learns the strengths of hundreds of schools, he will not be able to master any of them.
A truly strong person will practice one move thousands of times, and then use that one move to succeed everywhere.
Now seeing that Chen Nanxuan has brought in so many high-level martial arts, is it necessary to learn so much?
Chen Nanxuan said: "You don't understand. This is how it is for cultivators at a high level. As their cultivation level increases, who doesn't have a few unique skills? As far as I know, the higher the level, the more important martial arts are.
Especially in the Immortal Realm, you will know when you ascend to the Immortal Realm in the future. In the Immortal Realm, the great powers fight with each other with magic weapons and martial arts. Our magic weapons are inferior to others, so do we have to learn less martial arts than others?"
Xiao Huo: "That's true, but there's no need to learn so much."
"Only when you learn a lot can you dazzle others. Only when you have a lot of tricks can people not tell your depth. Just think about it, when we fight with others, there will be hundreds or thousands of martial arts thrown at us at once. Who wouldn't feel intimidated? The highest level is to scare away the enemy with just one move."
Chen Nanxuan has his own unique understanding of spiritual practice.
He practiced in the same way in his previous life, and he thought it was very powerful.
Xiao Huo nodded: "If what you said is true, then it seems that martial arts is very important. Shall we start learning?"
The two of them are disciples of the alliance leader, so they can learn all the high-level martial arts in the Beizhou Alliance. Who dares to stop them?
Chen Nanxuan and Xiao Huo immediately started to study two piles of various martial arts that were as high as mountains.
…
On the other side, the sea of laws,
A golden fairy ship once again broke through the space and flowed downstream, drifting into the sea of laws.
After passing the Immortal Sutra of Heaven and Earth to Xiao Huo, Lu Yuan felt relieved. As long as Xiao Huo practiced the Immortal Sutra of Heaven and Earth according to the teachings he gave him, his future achievements would not be low.
After solving Xiao Huo's problem, Lu Yuan took Xiao Huang, King Jinjiao and Wu Song to buy tickets for the Sea of Law and entered the Sea of Law.
Xiao Huang, King Jinjiao and Wu Song are all Lu Yuan's direct disciples, and their cultivation levels are very high, surpassing ordinary Mahayana, and they can ascend to heaven at any time.
Especially the Golden Horn King and Wu Song, whose cultivation had already reached the ninth level of Mahayana. When Lu Yuan was in Qingzhou Realm, he told them to come to him after he had arranged things for them, and not to rush to ascend to the upper realm, as Lu Yuan would arrange another opportunity for them.
King Jinjiao and Wu Song were also very obedient. After finishing what Lu Yuan had asked them to do and developing most of the ancient heritage secret realms in the Qingtian World, they came back to find Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan spent his points to buy several high-level Law Sea boat tickets and took them into the Law Sea.
Xiao Huang was the eldest disciple, and was about to reach the ninth level of Mahayana, so Lu Yuan took him in to have a look.
On the golden boat, the ship entered the space of the sea of laws.
Here, thousands of laws flow beneath the boat. Every drop of water, every fish, every flying bird is the embodiment of the law.
Even King Jinjiao and Wu Song couldn't help but gasp and were shocked when they saw this place.
Now they don't understand what the rules are.
"Teacher, what is this place?" they asked.
Lu Yuan said: "The place where the laws converge and the great Dao is embodied is the place where thousands of heavenly immortals and true gods in the upper realms dream of enlightenment."
"There are three thousand great ways, and the laws evolve. After ascending to the upper realm, as your realm becomes higher, the martial arts you practice become less important. The higher your realm, the more you compete with your understanding of the laws of heaven and earth.
Do you remember the senior brother of Prince Lotus, the Immortal Deer Fire of the Chan Sect? He was a master of the Chan Sect's laws, so he had absolute power over you back then."
“It can be said that a top-notch immortal who has comprehended the laws of the great way has the absolute power to crush ordinary immortals and practitioners in the lower realms.
Moreover, in the upper realm, even among the Golden Immortals, those who can comprehend the laws are very rare, and the basic condition for promotion to the Golden Immortal is even to comprehend a law of the Great Dao.”
Lu Yuan spoke slowly, explaining to the three of them the class divisions and the path of cultivation in the upper realm.
The practice in the upper realm is to cultivate the laws.
King Jinjiao and others were greatly shocked, they really didn't understand these things very well. After all, even King Jinjiao's ancestor in the upper realm and the ancestor of the Martial God Sect in the upper realm didn't actually have a very high status in the upper realm.
Their realm is not that strong. Since they have no background, they probably have not yet been exposed to the practice of the laws. It is even unknown whether they know the laws.
Even the disciples of the three religions, namely, the orthodox religion, the human religion and the evil religion, would only come into contact with the concept of law when they become Xuanxian or Taiyi Xuanxian.
So it’s normal that they don’t know.
Now they listened carefully as the teacher explained to them the secrets of the upper world.
The Golden Horned King asked, "Teacher, is it difficult to understand the law?"
Lu Yuan nodded: "This is natural. Normally, the laws of the great way are illusory and hard to find. Although they exist in everything, it is extremely difficult for practitioners to find, capture, comprehend and control them.
Even among the three religions in the upper realm, those who truly master the laws are very rare. Even someone as powerful as Lu Huo back then only had a superficial understanding of the laws of arrows."
Xiao Huang recalls the Lu Huo of that year.
The first time they saw Lu Huo descending from the upper realm, he was like a divine soldier descending from the sky, so powerful that it was breathtaking. If the teacher had not returned in time, they would have been wiped out at the hands of Lu Huo alone.
But even the powerful Xianjiao Xianluhuo, according to the teacher, only had a superficial understanding of the law? The difficulty of practicing this law is too high.
Lu Yuan said: "But you don't have to worry too much, you are my disciples, and today I brought you here, which is the greatest opportunity.
This place is called the Sea of Laws. Every drop of water in this ocean is condensed from a law. When you practice here, the difficulty of comprehending the laws will be reduced ten thousand times.
The laws that are usually impossible to trace and touch are presented here in a concrete form. Practicing here can save you billions of years of hard work in meditation and practice. This is a benefit that even practitioners from the outside world and the disciples of the three religions cannot imagine. "
Lu Yuan first explained to them what the laws of the great way are, and then explained the sea of laws.
Sure enough, after hearing what Lu Yuan said, King Golden Horn and the other two began to breathe rapidly and looked around at the ocean.
How can this be called an ocean? It is clearly a supreme treasure land.
The law is realized!
No wonder the teacher said that this is the place where the great immortals in the upper realm dream of enlightenment. If you look at it this way, there is really no water in what he said. (End of this chapter)
