Chapter 601 The Saint's Method
The holy temple has returned to peace.
Chu Ning returned to his peaceful life as before. He stayed outside the holy temple every day, and went to the village to chat with the villagers when he had nothing to do. He lived a comfortable life.
In fact, for Chu Ning, the most comfortable period of his life since entering the other world was the time when he was a constable.
Now in this village, he has found that feeling again.
It's a unique way to have a nice meal and listen to the villagers chatting.
During this period, if there is drought or severe cold weather, Chu Ning will also lend a hand.
With his current strength, changing the weather in an area is no problem.
After ten years, the population of the village has increased several times. Chu Ning noticed that these villagers would leave the village and go to other places. He once followed these villagers, but the strange thing was that after these villagers walked to the boundary of the village, they stepped into a fog and disappeared, but he could not step into the fog.
These villagers leave the village to purchase some daily necessities, or even to marry their daughters and daughters-in-law to people from other villages.
But apart from the wives from other places who married into the village, Chu Ning had never seen anyone from another village.
The strange thing is that when the married daughters in the village bring their husbands back to their parents' home, all the villagers can see it, except him. In his sight, these villagers are talking to the air.
What's the problem?
Chu Ning was a little curious. Was it because of the Saint Senior?
The traces left on the road only belonged to the people of this village, while the people outside the village did not stay, so their appearance could not be seen.
But because these things actually happened, they have been preserved and are constantly repeated.
After thinking for several days, Chu Ning finally decided to do a bold experiment.
He wanted to change what had happened here and was recorded by the Heavenly Dao.
The village chief's son was going to marry a woman from another village, but with Chu Ning's words, the engagement was canceled.
Over the years, Chu Ning's prestige in the village has surpassed that of the village chief. In the hearts of many villagers, Chu Ning is a god in their hearts.
Whether it is being bitten by poisonous insects in the mountains or having an illness, Mr. Ji can cure it with one medicine. Most of the villagers in the village have been treated by Chu Ning. If Mr. Ji had not said that he would not save people from other villages and did not allow them to publicize it, I am afraid that all the villages within a hundred miles would know the name of Mr. Ji as a miracle doctor.
Mr. Ji said that the marriage between the village chief's son and the girl from another village was not compatible.
After the news spread, the village chief immediately went to the girl's family, apologized to them and cancelled the engagement.
…
…
Boom! That night!
There were lightning and thunder over the village and heavy rain was pouring down.
Chu Ning narrowed his eyes and looked at the dark clouds and the sudden lightning above, whispering: "So, it was me who changed the fate of a villager who was preserved here, causing the wrath of the Heavenly Dao?"
"If that's the case, then by curing the sick villagers, I was also changing their fate. Why didn't the Heavenly Dao get angry at that time?"
Over the years, Chu Ning saved many villagers who were on the verge of death after being bitten by poisonous insects. This was considered to have changed their fate. If his fate had been changed, the Heaven would have been angry. Logically, the Heaven should have been angry long ago. Why did it wait until now?
What's the difference between the two? The next day!
Chu Ning found the village chief and let the village chief's son's marriage continue, and Lei Ting did not appear that night.
…
…
In the next few years, Chu Ning conducted many experiments and finally discovered some patterns.
The villagers he treated all had one characteristic in common, that is, they were all quite old and already had wives and children. They lived mainly to support their families, but even if these people really died, their families would at most become a little poorer, and it would not affect others.
And if some unmarried children get sick and he tries to treat them, it will cause thunder and lightning.
God does not allow him to save these children.
"Is it because these elderly villagers have lived their entire lives like this? Even if I let them live a few more years or even more than ten years, their lives wouldn't change much. And those young people who were supposed to die, because they were saved by me, will get married and give birth to new lives. Is this something that Heaven doesn't allow?"
"But why wouldn't Heaven allow it?"
Chu Ning has been thinking about this problem. Although the older villagers will not change much in their lives, sometimes some small changes can change the fate of a family.
A hunter who was supposed to have died three years ago had two daughters and one son, all of whom were underage. If the hunter had passed away three years ago, for the livelihood of the family, the eldest daughter would have to choose to marry and then give birth to children in the man's family.
But because of my intervention, the hunter survived and was able to support a family of four. The eldest daughter didn't have to rush to get married. Even if she got married in a year or two, her husband's family might not be the one that was destined for her.
From this perspective, by saving the hunter, he changed the fate of his daughter and even his son-in-law and nephew.
The child who was supposed to be born was not born, and another child was born. What is the difference between this change and saving those unmarried young people? Why does the heaven allow the strong, but not the latter? Chu Ning suddenly found that he was very interested in this question, and he had a hunch that if he could study this problem clearly, it would be of great benefit to his breakthrough to the God Transformation Realm.
Although he is only in the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm now, there is still a long time before he can break through to the Void Realm.
"If the Palace Master and Master were here, we could ask them the reason behind this."
Chu Ning shook his head with some regret. Since he couldn't find the answer here, he would look for it somewhere else.
…
…
The North.
Yun Anlan appeared in Nian Tangshan again.
"This is what my grandfather asked me to give to you."
Yun Anlan handed a jade slip to Chu Ning. As early as a month ago, Chu Ning had mailed a jade slip through Sihai Trading Company. This jade slip was given to his grandfather.
After receiving the jade slip, her grandfather asked her to return a jade slip to Chu Ning.
Because she had never read the contents of the jade slip, she asked her grandfather Ji Yang what was said in the jade slip. In the end, her grandfather only told her one sentence: The questions asked in Ji Yang's jade slip were related to how to step into Dongxu.
"You have reached the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm now?"
Yun Anlan's eyes were filled with disbelief as he actually asked how his grandfather achieved the state of emptiness. Doesn't this mean that Chu Ning has reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm?
The breakthrough from the Spirit Transformation stage to the Void stage is different from other stages. When one is in the Golden Core or Nascent Soul stage, one can learn in advance what is needed to prepare for the next stage breakthrough, such as the Nascent Soul Forming Pill and the method of breaking through the Nascent Soul stage.
But how can a cultivator from the God Transformation Realm step into the Cave Void Realm? No God Transformation cultivator has ever understood these things before reaching the peak of the God Transformation Realm, because the more they know, the more likely it is to affect their cultivation.
To use the words of my grandfather, if you don't reach the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, trying to understand these things will only trap yourself. Not only will it be tantamount to breaking through to the Spiritual Transformation Realm, but your realm may even stagnate.
All the Divine Transformation cultivators in the entire Nine Realms do not know how to break through to the Dongxu realm, unless they have reached the peak of the Divine Transformation realm.
This is also the reason why Yun Anlan asked this question. Chu Ning asked about his grandfather's Cave Void Realm, which means that Chu Ning should have entered the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
It hasn't been that long, but this guy has actually gone from the late stage of the Spirit Transformation to the peak of the Spirit Transformation.
"Don't look at me with such surprise. I am still in the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm, and there is still some distance to go before I can reach the peak of the Spiritualization Realm."
Chu Ning shook his head in denial. Yun Anlan frowned and said, "Do you know how much trouble it will bring to you if you try to understand Dongxu before reaching the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm?"
She was afraid that the powerful Dongxu masters in the northern border were gone. Chu Ning didn't know this, so she immediately spoke up to remind her.
"I just asked a small question, it's not that serious."
"It's just a small question. My grandfather said that the question you asked involves the Void Realm. Don't mess around."
"Is that what your grandfather said?"
"Um."
Chu Ning fell into deep thought, so his question about why Heaven would be angry about the change of fate of some people but not angry about others, did this involve the secret of Dongxu?
Do you want to read it yourself? "Did your grandfather give the answer in this jade slip?" Chu Ning asked after a while.
"Yes, my grandfather said that you will understand after reading this jade slip." Yun Anlan nodded.
"Since Senior Yun thinks I can see it, then it shouldn't be a big problem."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Chu Ning breathed a sigh of relief. With Senior Yun's cautiousness, if he felt that he was not suitable to read the contents here, he would not give him an answer, or he would first understand his own realm before answering his own questions.
Yun Anlan: ...
She suddenly felt that what Chu Ning said made sense. Given her grandfather's personality, if he was not sure that Chu Ning had reached the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm, he would never reveal anything about the Dongxu Realm. Since he gave Chu Ning this jade slip, it meant that her grandfather thought it was okay to let Chu Ning know in advance.
"Then you can watch it here, and tell me when you are done."
This time it was Chu Ning's turn to twitch his mouth. This woman was not a good person. She had a good plan.
If the content of the reply is not important, she can read it again. If it really has an impact on her cultivation, she will not read it. She is completely treating herself as a test subject.
"Isn't it possible?"
"Okay, I'll reply to you after I finish reading it."
Chu Ning took the jade slip, put his spiritual consciousness into it, and read the contents inside.
What is emptiness?
This is the first sentence written by Yun Shanchang in the jade slip.
After seeing this sentence, Chu Ning did not rush to read on, but started to think.
The emptiness that Senior Yun asked about is naturally not referring to that kind of emptiness, but the emptiness of the cave.
Dongxu Realm! Why is the realm after Huashen Realm named Dongxu? Read on.
[Emptiness is the emptiness of heaven and earth, the emptiness of the great way...]
[The cultivation of cultivators goes against the will of heaven, and the way of heaven will inevitably limit them. Before we cultivators reach the cave, we cultivate the cave, and we cultivate how to break through this cave heaven...]
Senior Yun Shanchang didn’t write many words, but that didn’t hinder Chu Ning’s understanding.
After reading the contents of the jade slip, he understood why the next realm was called Dongxu.
A cultivator's journey from Qi Condensation to the peak of Spirit Transformation is all within the rules of Heaven. Although some mediocre cultivators may claim that they are going against Heaven, it cannot be considered going against Heaven at all, because Heaven allows cultivators to break through to the peak of Spirit Transformation.
This state is in the cave.
But after becoming a god, the laws of nature will not allow it.
The shackles that heaven imposes on cultivators are the same as those on other living beings, which is the peak of the spirit transformation stage.
This shackle cannot be broken.
No matter how talented a cultivator is, he cannot break the shackles of the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm by practicing.
But over countless years, after continuous attempts by many predecessors, human cultivators finally found another way to break the shackles.
Transform into nothingness.
By making yourself become empty and detached from the heaven and earth, you will no longer be bound by the laws of nature.
This emptiness does not mean making oneself empty, but rather allowing oneself to jump out of the emptiness of the way of heaven and the emptiness of the great way.
All living things in the world leave traces in the Heavenly Way from the moment they are born, just like a child in the previous life is registered after birth. With a household registration, there is a trace of the Heavenly Way that can be traced.
Based on the information on the household registration, the person's origin can be determined and some restrictions can be imposed on him, such as restrictions on household registration.
To become a virtual person means to erase yourself from the household register, erase your identity information, and become a transparent person who cannot be traced.
Since it cannot be found, Heaven can no longer restrict it, and this gives it a chance to break the shackles of the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
As for the problem encountered by his clone, the fate of some villagers can be changed, while that of some cannot. Although it is not because those villagers who can change their fate have achieved the state of emptiness, the reasons are somewhat similar.
In the words of Senior Yun, this might be related to the saint.
It is very likely that the villagers seen by his clone are actually clones of the saint.
The saint, with great supernatural powers, transforms himself into a village in order to find the most perfect way to become immortal. Those whose fate cannot be changed are used by the saint to attract the attention of heaven.
The paths to becoming a void are different for those at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, but even Yun Shanchang mentioned in the jade slip that anyone who could transform a village by himself and still conceal the truth from Heaven is definitely not an ordinary person.
Looking at the current powerful Dongxu masters, few can do it.
These are not villagers created using puppets, nor are they any clones. Every villager is real and exists, and has left his mark on the Way of Heaven.
Yun Shanchang admitted in the jade slip that he could not imagine how this person did it.
…
After reading the contents of the jade slip, Chu Ning understood why those geniuses from the Cangtian Realm wanted to come to the Holy Academy. No wonder the cultivation method used by saints to break through to the Divine Transformation Realm was called the supreme cultivation method for the Divine Transformation Realm.
One person can transform a village, and every villager has the approval of heaven. This kind of magical power is unimaginable.
"How about it?"
Seeing Chu Ning fall into deep thought after reading the jade slip, Yun Anlan couldn't help but ask curiously.
"The contents of the jade slip are not suitable for you to read yet."
Hearing Chu Ning's answer, Yun Anlan curled his lips, but did not ask any more questions.
…
…
PS: These chapters are a bit difficult to read, because Jiu Deng has been thinking about what the boundary between Dongxu and Huashen is? It is not just the difference in strength, but also in another sense.
