Chapter 468: The Peak, No Way Forward

Three years later.

"It turns out that cultivation requires talent."

“Why do you say that, senior? Now that you have reached the ninth level of Nirvana, a breakthrough is just around the corner. This shows that you have a good talent.” Shi Hao said happily.

"." Old Man Tianjian was speechless.

Is his talent good?

If it was really good, why did it take him eight hundred years to cultivate to the second level of Nirvana? As for the current ninth level of Nirvana, his own family knew his own affairs. His ninth level of Nirvana was completely forcibly promoted by the Venerable. It can be said that even now, the transformation that should have occurred in the Nirvana realm has not happened to him at all. As he has never undergone a transformation, it can basically be determined that he will never have the chance to reach the peak of the realm in his lifetime.

Can you regret it?

Tian Jian has no regrets! He already had limited talent. If it weren't for the mercy of His Majesty, who forcibly raised his realm for him, perhaps his limit in this life would only be the second level of Nirvana.

"Alright, my muscles and bones are no longer able to move, so let's stop here for today's practice."

When he said this, old man Tianjian already looked disheartened.

In just three years, he advanced from the fifth level of Nirvana to the ninth level, and the young man opposite him also advanced to the fourth level of Nirvana. However, despite such a great realm suppression, Old Man Tianjian had already discovered that he was no match for Shi Hao.

Tianjian has been practicing for eight hundred years.

There is a difference of five levels in cultivation.

But he was no longer able to defeat the boy opposite him.

And if it were simply this, it would be fine. For the fact that there are always monsters appearing in this world, Old Man Tianjian has been accustomed to it for eight hundred years.

What really made him disheartened was that, since last year, he began to gradually realize that Shi Hao actually began to intentionally avoid him when fighting with him.

The third level of Nirvana versus the seventh level.

The fourth level of Nirvana versus the ninth level.

The third level of Nirvana versus the ninth level.

By now, Shi Hao has suppressed himself to the second level of Nirvana to fight against him, but even so, Old Man Tianjian still feels extremely exhausted, even more than when Shi Hao fought against him with the strength of the fourth level of Nirvana.

This made Tian Jian understand that his limit had been reached, and Shi Hao's limit was far beyond him. All he could do was to become a stepping stone for the boy's growth and help him grow faster.

'Do I really have no talent for cultivation?'

After leaving the fighting platform at the top of Tianduan Mountains, old man Tianjian felt bitter in his heart as he walked down the mountain.

Is the word talent really that important in the path of cultivation? When Shi Hao first met him, he was just a child with no realm in his eyes. Now that he has crossed eight realms, he still has no choice but to bow his head and admit defeat.

This process took less than five years.

"As expected, an old man without talent should not have embarked on this path of cultivation in this life."

Is talent important in spiritual practice? Yes! This answer is inevitable.

The talent is only given once, not in a certain realm, but is applicable to all realms.

Don't listen to other people's nonsense like, "talent is useless" and "everyone has the same starting point after reaching a certain level."

It's not that this sentence is wrong, but the real meaning of this sentence is 'If you don't have that talent, you will never reach this level in your life'! Yes, after screening out those who are not talented enough, the remaining ones are all those with extraordinary talents, and their starting points are naturally the same.

But what is the meaning of this for those who are not talented enough?

It doesn't make sense.

pity.

This truth that made Old Man Tianjian feel that life was boring was just common sense that Shi Hao had been told since childhood.

Once again back to the blessed land of Yuehu Lake.

After wandering around in the blessed land, which had now changed its appearance, and asking many incarnations of thoughts in the blessed land, Shi Hao finally found Chen Zhixing in the Cave of Ten Thousand Snakes.

Seeing his master standing in a stalactite cave in the snake cave, looking at a giant golden snake that was shedding its skin in the cave in front, Shi Hao approached with a smile.

"Master, why are you here to see the snake? Hey, I remember this snake was shedding its skin three years ago. How come it hasn't finished shedding its skin in such a long time?"

"This is the ninth time it has shed its skin in three years. It is about to turn into a dragon." Chen Zhixing said calmly.

"Transformation into a dragon?"

When he suddenly heard this word, Shi Hao was stunned.

No, it remembered that there were only a nest of ordinary black snakes in this snake cave, which were originally the food raised by the nest of moon bears. How come only three years have passed, and this black snake is about to turn into a dragon? Shi Hao couldn't understand it, and could only look at Chen Zhixing with a confused look, hoping that the master could explain it to him.

Seeing this, Chen Zhixing raised his hand indifferently and pointed at the black snake.

A beam of inspiration flew out, and under Shi Hao's strange gaze, the inspiration gradually changed in the air. When it finally landed in front of the golden snake group, it had already turned into a strange-looking emerald green herb that looked like a coiled python, and was swallowed up by the golden python that raised its head.

"Dragon Grass?" Shi Hao's eyes lit up. He had been coveting his master's ability to transform everything into something else for a long time.

"Yes." Chen Zhixing said calmly: "This dragon python has gone astray, but it has relied on devouring a large number of its own kind to forcibly purify its blood many times. This is rare and strange to me, so I will help it."

Enlightenment?

It's used for experiments! Shi Hao, who knew the fundamental function of the Dragon Grass, mourned for the python in front of him. You know, the function of the Dragon Grass is to activate the ancient blood hidden in the body, and this activation does not distinguish between inside and outside, and does not distinguish between innate and acquired.

In other words, the golden python in front of the master and disciple might have originally been able to advance safely to the Nirvana realm with the help of its purified blood, but now, after being fed a large amount of dragon grass to activate its blood, it has become an experimental subject destined to go crazy.

Because the Dragon Grass activated not only the blood force that had been absorbed by the Golden Python, but also the blood force that had not been absorbed, and even the corpses of some fellow pythons in the stomach that had not been digested in time.

A snake, with an ancient bloodline activated, may have the chance to transform into a dragon. It is a stroke of luck.

But what kind of monster would a snake become if thousands of identical bloodlines in its body were activated?

In Shi Hao's eyes, this golden python was extremely unlucky to have fallen into the hands of his master.

Thinking of this, Shi Hao immediately kept silent.

He was also curious about the final outcome of this golden python.

Birds of a feather flock together.

It can be said that Shi Hao, who grew up in a similar environment to Chen Zhixing, naturally has some similarities with his master.

One day later.

There were bursts of thunder in Mangcang Mountain, accompanied by a tearing dragon roar. The colorful divine thunder in the sky fell like raindrops towards the Moon Lake behind Mangcang Mountain.

“Ouch!!!”

The dragon-shaped golden light went upstream, circling and twisting in the air. While experiencing the sharp thunder tribulation, it let out bursts of inhumane wails.

It is a thing that goes against the will of heaven and should not have appeared in the world. Now it has transformed into a dragon against the will of heaven, so it is natural that it will die under the calamity of heaven.

It can be said that the seven-colored divine thunder is no longer a test for it, but a punishment from heaven for this twisted thing that goes against the will of heaven.

But even so, what can we do?

Just when the golden dragon was dying and about to be destroyed, a cold sword light flashed in the sky.

The thunder ceased.

Thunderclouds turned into fog.

The thunder tribulation that originally contained endless destructive power was reversed by this sword, and turned into nourishing power after surviving the heavenly tribulation normally, and began to nourish the body of the dying golden dragon below.

“That’s fine too.”

Shi Hao, who was watching this scene beside Moon Lake, had envy in his eyes.

The golden python's fate was actually reversed by the master. It is said that he did not even receive such treatment when he was undergoing the calamity of Nirvana.

So, the so-called way of heaven is also to bully the weak and fear the strong?

Look at the master again.

Although he had done such a heaven-defying act, there seemed to be no fluctuation in his expression, and he still looked calm and detached, as if this method of reversing the heavenly calamity was nothing but a smile to him.

Seeing that the golden snake was fine, Shi Hao, who didn't know what he was thinking of, walked towards Chen Zhixing with a smile.

"Hey, Master, you've become stronger again!"

"Um."

"Master, now that this golden snake has successfully transcended the tribulation, what should we do with it?"

"Hmm?" Chen Zhixing glanced at him and said, "You've always wanted a pet, right? I'll give it to you."

"Really?!" Shi Hao's eyes lit up when he heard that!

"Well, keep it for fun. It should be able to keep up with you until you become immortal."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

As he said this, Chen Zhixing felt bored with the experimental results in front of him.

The golden python successfully transformed into a dragon.

Moreover, it went through the process of transforming into a dragon in one breath, directly changing from a clawless golden python into a golden dragon with antlers and four claws.

And because Chen Zhixing intervened in the process of its transformation and cut off its memory and past causes and effects with a sword, the golden dragon today can be said to be no different from a newborn little dragon.

But even if that's the case, so what?

There is nothing to look forward to. From the moment he is born to the moment he dies, the size of his ultimate achievements in life are all within the range predetermined by Chen Zhixing and cannot be deviated from.

There is no hope of immortality, let alone anything beyond immortality.

This man-made creation, whose final outcome is destined from birth, really does not attract any attention from Chen Zhixing now.

Even though its vitality is strong and its lifespan is as long as ten thousand years, it is much stronger than many cultivators in the realm of immortality.

Even though he was born as a Zha, he was naturally close to gold and water. Between these two, he can be said to be naturally sacred, and he was born with the realm of two paths and four sequences.

But throughout his life, no matter how hard he tried, he was ultimately just revolving around within the framework set for him by Chen Zhixing.

Unless he could obtain the great fortune of the heavens, and go one step further, transforming his four claws into five claws, and becoming a true five-clawed golden dragon , this kind of thing was absolutely impossible in the Tianxuan Realm.

It’s because the laws of this world are not right!

"The world above immortality is not open, the gods of the heavens are not revealed, and all things in the world are the food of the Tao Lord. This world is still too small for me now."

Now, Chen Zhixing has reached the pinnacle of the ultimate realm, which can even be said to be the limit set by the Tianxuan Realm and the ultimate realm. Moreover, he had obtained the immortality fruit position a long time ago, and he could already clearly sense some of the disharmony in the Tianxuan Realm.

That's why there are whispers like this today.

The world is too small.

It’s not that the Tianxuan Realm is too small, but that the group of human beings who embarked on the path of becoming Dao Lords were too timid.

Replace the original myriad ways of the Tianxuan Realm with the way of the Taoist master.

Ten thousand in one generation.

Transform everything into one.

It sounds very exciting, and it has indeed made sufficient contributions to the prosperity of the human race in the Tianxuan Realm, and opened up sufficient living space and prospects for the human race who originally migrated to this realm.

But for a cultivator like Chen Zhixing, "there is no way to immortality without this approach, and this approach is too absolute."

Shaking his head and ignoring Shi Hao who was happily approaching the golden snake, Chen Zhixing turned around and took a step forward.

The next moment, they had arrived at the Chongming Temple on Chongming Mountain.

Jin Peng is taking a short break.

The immortal Zuo was reading to him.

With a bang, the door of Chongming Hall collapsed from the outside inwards.

Before the man and the bird could leave, Chen Zhixing's calm voice was heard in the sunlight that penetrated the hall.

"Come and fight me."

Fight? Immortal Zuo was still in a daze. He didn't even recognize Chen Zhixing in front of him as the Demon Lord who climbed the mountain five years ago.

“You are.”

"Um?"

Suddenly, Chen Zhixing frowned.

There was no other reason, but after he said this, Jin Peng, who had been lying there peacefully, actually ran away!

Ran away? ! "Oh, boring."

Chen Zhixing turned and left, leaving the still confused Zuo Xianshi in the hall.

Fight? "Only a fool would fight with you!"

Eight thousand miles away from Chongming Mountain, Jin Peng, who fled all the way to this place and hid, kept complaining.

There's nothing else, and it's not that it's afraid of Chen Zhixing.

This is the kind of thing it has experienced more than once.

It can be said that every time those geniuses who were abused by it, after they had achieved "supernatural powers", they would come running to fight with it.

This process is not a good one for it.

Once or twice is ok.

But every time it fights with this kind of people, it ends up being abused and then has to run away. In this case, why doesn't it want to ignore the process of being abused and just run away?

Anyway, even if they tire themselves out, they still can't catch up with it! "But speaking of which, this demon lord is really fierce. How long has it been? Five years? Has he reached this level?"

Thinking of the unified aura that surrounded Chen Zhixing before, Jin Peng's eyes twitched in a very human way.

It knows this realm all too well.

That only means one thing.

There is no more room for improvement in the Tianxuan Realm! He has already cultivated the Dao of this realm to the extreme! He has cultivated to the upper limit of this realm!

This upper limit is called the Absolute Peak, the peak of a world! The reason why the Absolute Peak is called the Absolute Peak is because of this.

From now on, one can either embark on the limited path of becoming a Taoist master and obtain the fruit of immortality, or one can only go to the outside world to see if one can find the subsequent path of cultivation.

As for the two of them not leaving, and staying in Tianxuan Realm to fight to the death, planning to open up a new path? Forget it.

Yi Miao Zhenjun of Daluo Daodi had thought about it, and Hua Yu Xianzun of Yuhua Xianzong had also thought about it.

Before them, a certain emperor was just a little bit away from taking the first step.

But what is the result?

"The imperial court collapsed, two people became saints, the way of heaven gave birth to all things, one person defeated another. Hey, it's not that easy to be invincible in a world!"
