Chapter 584: Price
"Old Liu, before coming to Tianxuan, how did you communicate with ordinary people like me?"
"Telepathy."
"Telepathy, communication of thoughts?"
"No, I just throw what I want to say directly into their heads."
".It's a bit brutal." Chen Zhixing thought about the chances of an ordinary person dying after being forcibly thrown into the divine consciousness by his current self, and then he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "30% chance of death, 10% chance of becoming an idiot, it's really dangerous to communicate with you."
“I will be God then.”
"You mean, this is the dignity that gods and demons should have, and if you want to communicate with you, you must risk your death?"
".Hmm." God Willow was silent for a while and then said, "The world I live in is different from Tianxuan. It is not ruled by one clan, but by all clans. Moreover, I was born a god. Before I cultivated into a Chaos God and Demon, I basically did not communicate with others."
"A natural god, truly amazing, amazing."
The conversation between the two seemed to be stuck here.
The Willow God was floating on the tree trunk, while Chen Zhixing was sitting cross-legged under the tree.
In fact, there was nothing to talk about between the two. To Willow God, Chen Zhixing and those people from the original world were no different from his followers, except that they were a little stronger in strength and talent. Moreover, he was weak now and needed to maintain a good relationship with Chen Zhixing for the time being.
For Chen Zhixing, the purpose of his coming to see the God of Willow was simply that he felt lonely.
Yes, lonely.
The loneliness of the solitary person, the mountain-climber, the alien.
Now, looking throughout the entire Tianxuan, perhaps only the God of Willow can be called half of the same kind as Chen Zhixing, and the rest are nothing but trivialities in the ups and downs of life.
This even includes a subtle one.
After all, even this Great Saint Lord has not yet made up his mind to practice the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang.
Neither of them spoke.
After taking advantage of this opportunity for a long time, Chen Zhixing suddenly stood up and said in a rather sunny tone: "I have finally turned into a monster. Both my body and my humanity are no longer the same as before."
“What a pity.”
"Well, that's a pity."
A person may look back countless times in his life, but among these countless times, only a few can be said to be unforgettable.
Once upon a time, when Chen Zhixing first entered Tianxuan, all he wanted was to survive peacefully in this Tianxuan world, without being controlled by the killer organization called Tianzhu, or being wiped out by the so-called famous and upright sects.
At some point, these visions had already been realized, but now he couldn't stop.
Now that he has reached the top of a world, why not give it another try? Whether it is the Chaos Gods and Demons or the Daluo Golden Immortals.
If he didn't attain one of the two, wouldn't it be a waste of his life to come to this world? But what was the price? After practicing the Thirty-Six Changes of the Heavenly Gang, Chen Zhixing knew that he would never have a chance to turn back. Perhaps in less than a hundred years, he would become the "immortal" in those stories and books who was not concerned with worldly affairs. From then on, he would no longer have any attachment to the world, but only a dream on the mountain top for a thousand years.
Eternal loneliness and greed for more power, driven by the people under his command to climb higher and higher, until finally burning out and turning into a celestial saint like the clay and wood sculpture.
This is the price he needs to pay.
"After mastering the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang, I can transform into anything, but I am no longer myself."
After chatting with Willow God for a while in the Northern Territory and sitting there for the whole afternoon, Chen Zhixing returned to Worry-Free Fairy Island again and told Chen Wanhong, who was now in charge of the island's Star Palace affairs, about his intention to go into seclusion.
Then, without caring what Chen Wanhong said, he walked towards the dojo located in the center of Wuyou Fairy Island.
Who will wake up first from the dream? Who knows?
In seclusion, someone chuckled, left a hint in the spirit consciousness that he would wake up after seventy-seven years, and then fell into a long period of practice.
Send the mind body into a dream, cultivate spiritual consciousness, receive the spirit beasts sent by the disciples of the Star Palace, and practice the Thirty-Six Transformations of Tiangang.
Twenty years passed in a short retreat.
Chen Zhixing himself did not feel much about this. It seemed that twenty years was just a very short period of time for him.
Even during this period, many people including Chen Wanhong came to visit him, and he also handled some trivial matters, but Chen Zhixing was too lazy to recall what exactly happened.
He is transforming like a ruthless immortal.
In the past twenty years, his cultivation has finally broken through to the ninth sequence. In terms of realm alone, he has even surpassed the current Tiansheng and Yimiao. Perhaps he can be called the number one in Tianxuan.
Chen Zhixing didn't have any emotional fluctuations, and he was even too lazy to tell anyone about his breakthrough.
And in these twenty years, the only thing he missed often was the two phoenixes he had imprisoned.
At that time, it was an instinctive impulse from his blood, or perhaps it was the wail of his humanity when it was silent and practicing.
Chen Zhixing never unblocked them.
Instead, he still practiced hard alone in the temple.
Until one day, Yi Miao suddenly came to Wuyou Fairy Island in the name of Daluo Taoist Master and specifically asked to see Chen Zhixing. Only then did Chen Zhixing break through the barrier and come out.
However, after the two met, Yi Miao's first words caused Chen Zhixing to have a violent emotional fluctuation, and almost broke his water-like state of mind after twenty years of hard practice.
"I don't plan to practice the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang anymore." She said to Chen Zhixing with a smile, fiddling with the white hair hidden in her hair.
silence.
Trance.
At a certain moment, Yi Miao saw murderous intent emerge in Chen Zhixing's eyes, and then it quickly extinguished without a trace.
"Why?" At this moment Chen Zhixing's voice became awkward, as if it was because he had not communicated with anyone for a long time.
"There's no reason. Maybe I don't want to, but I can't let it go."
Yi Miao turned her hand around her hair for a few circles, then leaned forward slightly, stared into Chen Zhixing's eyes and said seriously: "Or maybe, it's because I don't want to become like you now. There are too many things I can't let go of, and I can't cut them off as easily as you do. I don't want to abandon my Daluo Dao just for the so-called Penglai Fairyland, for the meaningless word of becoming an immortal."
Chen Zhixing closed his eyes and said nothing.
Yi Miao chuckled upon seeing this: "Well, I am a woman after all. As a little woman, even if I have become a Daluo Dao Master, one of the top supreme beings in the world, I am still stingy in my nature. Well, just think of it as me being reluctant to part with the Daluo Dao that I have accumulated over thousands of years."
"You think clearly."
Chen Zhixing never opened his eyes, but his speaking speed gradually became normal. It was because he had not communicated normally with others for only twenty years, not hundreds or thousands of years, so he was relatively fast in correcting himself now.
"Well, I don't want to be transparent, but I find that I really can't bear to let go. What can I do?"
As he spoke, Yi Miao couldn't help but stretch his waist, and the whole person seemed to become lazy at this moment: "I'll tell you secretly, don't tell anyone else. Well, I actually tried the Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Gang, but the answer I got was not good, at least not suitable for me."
"I guessed it." Chen Zhixing nodded.
This answer was not beyond Chen Zhixing's expectations, because the so-called Thirty-Six Changes of Tiangang only weakened people's sensitivity to time, making people ignore the passage of time, but it could not extend the lifespan of the cultivator.
And Yi Miao is now almost seven thousand years old.
If she didn't pursue a higher realm and try to replenish her lifespan by improving her realm, she would probably have about 1,300 years to live.
One thousand three hundred years.
It sounds like it's endless, but even according to Chen Zhixing's current progress of the seventh Tiangang Transformation, 1,300 years is only three or four years in his perception.
What can she do in three or four years? Yi Miao didn't want to squander her hard-earned lifespan like this, and she didn't have any confidence in breaking through the suppression of the Space Master in the spirit world in the next 1,300 years. Unless she was willing to follow the remnant soul away from the world and embark on the road to return to the fairyland with an unknown outcome, otherwise she would be wasting her remaining time by practicing the Thirty-Six Changes of the Heavenly Gang when she couldn't break through the suppression of the Space Master.
Of course, there is also a truth in what Miao said.
She couldn't bear to do that.
On the one hand, he is reluctant to give up his own life, and on the other hand, he is reluctant to give up his identity as a human being.
No matter how much she repeated her identity as the Great Daoist Master, no matter how much she disliked the old man Tiansheng's partiality, in the final analysis, Tiansheng was still her Yi Miao's master, and some of his ideas were also passed on to Yi Miao.
For example, the human race.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
After practicing the Thirty-Six Changes of the Heavenly Gang and changing her own sense of time to be different from that of ordinary people, is she still a human being? She needs to suppress herself even to communicate with normal people, so how can she call herself a human being?
"Chen Zhixing."
"Um."
"You are as cold as a piece of wood now."
"oh."
"I suddenly regret bringing you to see that remnant soul. This Tian Gang Thirty-Six Transformations made me lose a friend."
"You think too much."
Chen Zhixing just shook his head.
Half an hour later, Yi Miao left Wuyou Fairy Island.
Chen Zhixing simply went into seclusion again.
No one knows what was communicated between the two who are now ranked among the top three in the world. In the next fifty years, the only change that the cultivators felt was the strong rise of the Star Lord and the rapid growth of cultivators practicing the Star God method in the world.
From the time when Chen Zhixing attained enlightenment as the Star God to the present time when the Star God's teachings are widely popular, less than a hundred years have passed.
In less than a hundred years, the Star Palace has developed to its peak, and the only difference between it and the Holy Land is the name. Even in the eyes of some cultivators, the current Star Palace is already the fourth Tianxuan Holy Land.
In fact, its popularity among cultivators is even more excessive than that of the Five Elements in the past.
On average, among every twelve cultivators, one majored in the Way of the Star Lord, and two took the Way of the Star Lord as a secondary practice! This was so exaggerated that it accounted for a quarter of the basic base of the human cultivators, allowing the entire world to experience the fear and benefits of the Way of the Star Lord.
During this hundred years, the third Star Lord was born and became quite famous.
But all these seem to have nothing to do with Chen Zhixing, the contemporary Taoist master of the Star Lord.
In fact, because Chen Zhixing rarely came into contact with the mortal world and had little contact with the cultivators of the Tianxuan Realm for ninety years since the beginning of the general world, the cultivators of the Tianxuan Realm had basically regarded him as a legendary figure, or a statue in the ancestral hall, just like Li Er at the beginning, or the Immortal Master Huayu and the Yuhua Holy Land.
A symbol representing the inheritance of the Star Palace, a name of a Taoist master similar to the Taoist master of the Five Elements, a name of a star lord who is between the best in the world, but he is no longer the Chen Zhixing of the Ziwei Chen family who is often added in front of his name when people mention him.
Chen Zhixing chose to accept it all indifferently.
His cultivation is still improving.
Fifty years have passed since his last contact with Yi Miao. His improvement in the way of the Star Lord has reached the peak of the eleventh level. Even if thrown into the spiritual world, he can be regarded as a top-notch Taoist master.
As for the practice of time perception of the Thirty-Six Changes of the Heavenly Gang, because the Tianxuan Realm lacks spiritual beasts that he can take a fancy to, he has only improved from refining seven spiritual beasts to the current ten. Correspondingly, for the current Chen Zhixing, as long as he does not deliberately control it, the past three years in the outside world will only affect him by one day.
It was precisely because of this that he was able to stay in the core of the Worry-Free Fairy Island for fifty years.
Practice is poisonous.
This was the inexplicable thought that arose in Chen Zhixing's mind when he once again took back the Three Thousand Great Dreams and returned to his incarnation.
A thought flashed through my mind.
In his mind, a lot of information about the customs and habits of the other world, the cultivation system, the myriad laws, and the changes in the world were all devoured by him in just a few days.
Immediately, Chen Zhixing, who was stuck at the peak of the eleventh level, naturally broke through to the twelfth level.
"The world is a place of beauty, the sky and earth change from sunny to cloudy, the plants wither and grow, and all living things sink into depravity. It is nothing more than that to you or to me."
Chen Zhixing, who broke through the twelfth order, felt the spiritual energy, Taoism, and power of the laws of heaven and earth rushing towards him, and also felt the will of heaven leaning towards him at this moment.
When she merged with him, it was like blending perfectly with water and milk, without any disturbance at all.
It was at this moment that Chen Zhixing knew that he had completely surpassed Tiansheng in cultivation and truly became the number one person in the Tianxuan Realm.
Are you excited?
No.
Are you happy?
No.
He just felt it was natural and even felt a little bored.
After quietly walking out of the retreat place and taking a tour of the Star Palace that now completely occupied the Worry-Free Fairy Island, Chen Zhixing suddenly had a false idea in his heart.
"This world shouldn't be so small, and so-called cultivation shouldn't be so boring."
He once again had the urge to leave Tianxuan.
I want to look for the remnant soul of Penglai Fairyland, whose current location is unknown, and I want to see the three fairylands located in the center of the boundless sea of stars.
However, this thought only flashed through his mind.
Just because Ziweishan, who has been gone for ninety-three years, is about to return.
"There are still seven years left."
After he finished speaking, Chen Zhixing sighed.
Then he turned around and returned to his retreat place.
The world today is really boring to him.
