Chapter 656: The Road to the Void
Thinking of Tangshan.
The green vine grew slowly and wrapped around a huge rock on the top of the mountain.
On the huge rock, the three words "Thinking of Tangshan" are engraved.
When the green vine completely wrapped around the boulder, a figure also appeared on the boulder.
“I’m back.”
"It's just a dream, a long time."
There was a look of emotion on Chu Ning's face. This time the mayfly transformation took even longer than the last time.
The last time it evolved into a mayfly, the time it took to transform into a green vine was not short this time.
There are two ways to restore memory.
One is that the evolved life has come to an end, and at the moment of the end of life, the memory will automatically be restored.
The other is to be enlightened.
When someone reveals the memories of the previous reincarnation, one will awaken to past and present lives, which means that this mayfly transformation is over.
Therefore, if one really wants to practice the Mayfly Transformation, the best way is to let people look for their own reincarnation.
Create a force and look for reincarnation...
This is the safest way, but Chu Ning knows very well in his heart that the reason why the Immortal Demon King did not do this back then was not because his power was not enough, but because he was on guard against people's hearts.
The mayfly reincarnates and starts over. If one of his subordinates becomes disloyal and reveals the fact of his reincarnation, he may very likely lose his life. Not to mention that if there are still hostile forces, a large-scale search will also attract their attention.
To put it bluntly, the matter of the mayfly's reincarnation cannot be told to too many people. It will be of no use if only a few people know about it.
"A hundred years of reincarnation is also a great reward."
Suddenly, a thick gray fog appeared on Chu Ning's body, but this time, his eyes were clear.
This time, the experience of the mayfly transformation for a hundred years improved his realm, but he was not able to break through to the Dongxu realm. However, the gains it brought were no less than a breakthrough to the Dongxu realm.
"The Way of Time, the Power of Nirvana... The leader of the Nirvana Sect is truly a talent that defies the heavens."
Recalling the hundred years since he turned into the green vine, Chu Ning clearly understood why the green vine had such a miraculous talent and could devour the energy of other monsters and goblins. It was not because of its transformation into a mayfly, nor was it a favorite of God.
Instead, at the moment when the mayfly transformed, it absorbed a wisp of gray mist, which is the power of Nirvana.
The gray fog is the energy transformed from the Nirvana Pearl.
This fog is extremely evil, even the old fellow Dongxu called it the Grinding Road's Sorrow. However, it is not that this gray fog will really destroy the foundation of human morality, but because it is attached with the power of the law of time.
But this law of time is completely different from the energy of the law of time seen by ordinary Dongxu strongmen. This is why Chu Ning was so moved by the leader of the Nirvana Sect.
The Avenue of Time and the laws of time derived from it, most of the powerful Dongxu masters take the path of reversing time.
Let time go back, let time speed up, just like the Time-Withering Art that Chu Ning himself mastered, but the leader of the Nirvana Sect took a completely different path.
Nirvana.
It is not the so-called nirvana and rebirth, but rather the nirvana of oneself into time energy but not rebirth.
Condense yourself into time.
This gray fog is the time of the Nirvana Sect’s leader himself.
The leader of the Nirvana Sect who created the Nirvana Pearl extracted his own way of time and condensed it within the pearl.
The disciples of the Nirvana Sect will be strengthened after absorbing the power of the Nirvana Pearl. This is because they are directly possessing the time energy that has been deprived of themselves by a powerful person who has reached the Dongxu realm or is close to a higher realm.
The disciples of the Nirvana Sect, their own method of cultivation is evolved from the way of time, so naturally there will be no situation where they cannot absorb it.
Absorbing the Nirvana Pearl is a bit like a powerful person performing an initiation, directly transferring years of skills into the body.
However, this infused energy can be controlled. The more it is infused, the more you can control.
At the same time, the physical strength of the person being infused with this energy will continue to grow.
Finally, as long as the owner of the Nirvana Pearl is willing, he can directly extract the time energy from these people's bodies.
In other words, the life and death of all the disciples of Nirvana Sect are in the hands of the Sect's leader. This is using the power of an entire sect to train one person.
"Nirvana Sect is a new sect. So far, it has only had three sect leaders. I'm afraid these three sect leaders are the same person."
Chu Ning also took a deep breath in his heart. The leader of the Nirvana Sect was really unfathomable. It was probably not a good thing for the Holy Palace to have such a neighbor.
"Turning himself into time, thus depriving everyone of the traces of time, this leader of the Nirvana Sect is truly ruthless."
This time's transformation into a mayfly made Chu Ning realize a truth: the law of time exists in everyone, even mortals.
The life span of ordinary people is less than a hundred years, so there are relatively few Dao Marks of Time on their bodies. However, as cultivators’ realms improve and their life span increases, there are more and more Dao Marks of Time on their bodies.
Lifespan is a manifestation of the way of time.
Part of a cultivator's foundation is composed of the principle of time.
To give a simple example, if we compare a cultivator to a tall building, then the Tao base is the foundation of this tall building. The more stable the foundation is, the higher the floors can be built. The several stone pillars in this foundation are composed of the Tao of time.
The leader of the Nirvana Sect distributed his own Dao of Time to other cultivators. As these cultivators' realms improved, their Dao of Time marks increased, which was equivalent to helping the leader of the Nirvana Sect to nurture the Dao of Time marks.
The reason why the Dongxu strong man encountered this fog was because it could extract his foundation. For a Dongxu strong man, he himself is like a hundred-story building. Just extracting a stone pillar from the bottom is enough to cause the building to collapse.
"The word [Hua] is actually the way of time. If you look at it this way, I'm afraid the other words also represent different ways."
The word "Hua" represents time, so what about "Hun" and "Zuo"? What kind of avenue do they represent respectively?
Chu Ning had some guesses in his mind, but he wasn't sure.
"Forget it, let's find our own way out first."
Chu Ning did not intend to follow the same path as the leader of the Nirvana Sect. Although this path was domineering, it did not suit him.
A few breaths later, Chu Ning sent a message to Yun Shanchang on the spiritual network, inviting Senior Yun to Nian Tangshan for a talk.
…
…
One day later.
Thinking of the top of Tangshan Mountain.
"Little friend Chu."
Yun Shanchang appeared in Nian Tangshan without alarming anyone in Danshan Sect. When he saw Chu Ning, there was a look of surprise in Yun Shanchang's eyes.
With his realm, he could naturally see that Chu Ning had not only entered the Return to Void Realm, but his aura was also faintly approaching the Cave Void Realm.
Only a hundred years have passed.
Even someone as steady as him couldn't help but ask, how did you practice this?
From Return to Void to Cave Void, the fastest time in the history of the Nine Realms was a thousand years. With Chu Ning's speed, he would be able to take this step in less than five hundred years.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
It seems that Chu Ning will have many opportunities in the next hundred years.
"Senior Yun, I invited you here to ask you for advice on the Void Realm."
Chu Ning asked sincerely. Since he started practicing, even when he reached the Spirit Transformation Realm, he still had very little information about Dongxu. Even his master had told him that before reaching this stage, there was no need to know too much about Dongxu. The more he knew, the more it would affect his practice.
"With your current state, it is time to learn about the matter of Dongxu."
Yun Shanchang was not surprised, and stroked his beard and said, "Friend Chu, the so-called Dongxu can be viewed separately. Dong is the cave residence, and Dong is the world, which is the space where the cultivators live."
"Whether it's the heavens or the earth or space, there is a special energy. Do you know what this energy is called?"
"Laws." Chu Ning replied immediately.
"Yes, that is the law."
Yun Shanchang nodded: "Between heaven and earth, only the laws can bring eternal life, and the life span of a Dongxu strongman cannot be achieved by relying on the body. The only way is to store the laws in the body and use the eternal life of the laws to extend one's life span."
The lifespan of a Dongxu strongman is greatly increased compared to that of a Huashen realm strongman.
The lifespan of a powerful spirit-transforming person is about 5,000 years, but after entering the realm of cave void, his lifespan is qualitatively improved and can easily exceed 10,000 years. This cannot be achieved by the spiritual power or even the elemental power gathered in the body, but only by the law.
Laws cannot exist within the body. Only by accommodating oneself to the laws, that is, accommodating oneself to the heaven and earth, can one become empty.
"This is the origin of the word 'Dongxu'."
"So, the path that this junior has to take now is to comprehend the laws?"
"Well, if you can comprehend the power of a complete law, you can enter the Void Realm."
"The complete law?"
"Well, fully comprehend the power of the law."
Yun Shanchang raised his right hand, and a square copper coin appeared in his hand.
Golden copper coins appeared, surrounded by special energy ribbons. Chu Ning looked at them and felt as if he was about to sink into them.
"Just look at it!"
The golden copper coins emitted light, and Chu Ning saw a series of transaction scenes.
There were poor people buying daily necessities, there were rich young men spending money in brothels, there were cultivators using spirit stones to buy elixirs in the market...
In these transaction scenes, a golden energy would rise up with each transaction, and these golden energies would slowly gather in this copper coin.
"What I practice is the law of trade."
Yun Shanchang's voice woke Chu Ning up from the trading scenes.
"Just follow me..."
Yun Shanchang took Chu Ning with him and left Nian Tangshan.
Three days later.
Northern border, Qinglingfang.
There is a drugstore.
It is a newly opened medicine shop, but it is very popular among monks.
This is because the quality of the pills sold in this medicine shop is higher than those in other medicine shops. With the same ten spirit stones, you may only be able to buy a bottle of Qi Gathering Pills in other medicine shops, but in this medicine shop, although you can only buy a bottle of twelve pills, the quality is much higher.
As the reputation of a pharmacy grew, so did the two shop owners.
The old shopkeeper and the young shopkeeper.
The reason why the monks around Qinglingfang will remember these two shopkeepers is that their actions are contrary to common sense.
The old shopkeeper personally does the buying and selling at the counter every day, while the young shopkeeper lies on a rattan chair all day, very leisurely.
What shocked all the monks in Qinglingfang even more was that three months later, the young shopkeeper actually set up his own business and opened a new store right across from a pharmacy.
Time shop.
There is a couplet hanging at the door of the shop.
Time is money.
Time can be exchanged for gold.
