Xiaoqingshan Dojo.
Su Qing closed the chat group and sat cross-legged in the Qingfeng Pavilion.
With his eyes half open and half closed, he was slowly comprehending the gains and losses of this journey to the wilderness.
In general, this trip to the ancient world was a great success.
The benefits of becoming a disciple of the Saint Taiqing are self-evident.
From now on, Su Qing has a backer and is no longer fighting alone.
I can legitimately call myself a disciple of a saint, which is much more comfortable than being a casual practitioner before.
That's just the benefit of being invisible.
The benefit at this stage is that by listening to Taiqing's teachings on the spot, his realm has advanced from the tenth-order True Immortal realm to the thirteenth-order Golden Immortal realm.
He also comprehended two great magical powers: Taiqing Divine Thunder and Yi Qi Transformation into Three Pure Ones.
In addition, Saint Taiqing also bestowed a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Qingyun Pearl.
You know, most of the prehistoric cultivators have never even seen a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, let alone a mid-grade innate spiritual treasure.
Apart from those lucky ones who are extremely lucky, only the powerful ones can have this.
Su Qing is just a Golden Immortal, but he has a low-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Panlong Bow, and a medium-grade innate spiritual treasure, the Qingyun Pearl.
This is the benefit of leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade. Becoming a saint's disciple has more advantages than disadvantages, so why not do it? "As expected of a saint, even a little bit of it leaking out from between his fingers is enough for me to arm myself to the teeth."
Looking at the two spiritual treasures nurtured in the Niwan Palace, Su Qing couldn't help but secretly said.
With the Qingyun Pearl hanging above his head for defense and the Panlong Bow in his hand for attack, he can almost sweep away all opponents of the same level and become invincible!
"Although Taiqing didn't explicitly say what he wanted us to do, his meaning was the same as I guessed before, that is, let us preach in our respective worlds!"
"Spread the teachings of humanity and let the whole world bathe in the light of Taiqing."
Withdrawing his gaze, Su Qing kept the matter of preaching in his heart.
"Take care of your own cultivation first."
During this trip to the wild world, Su Qing realized the direction of the future and his future is bright.
There are thousands of systems of cultivation methods in the world, but they all lead to the same destination. When one reaches the realm of Golden Immortal, they are all pretty much the same.
When one reaches the Golden Immortal realm, ordinary breathing exercises can only increase magic power but are no longer able to increase one's spiritual attainments.
According to what Taiqing said during his preaching, the true immortals have just enough capital to seek the Tao, because the Tao is boundless, but I am finite.
Therefore, only those who have reached the realm of true immortality and have infinite lifespan are qualified to seek the Tao.
In the realm of heavenly immortals, one comprehends the laws and begins to come into contact with the deeper application of the laws. This is called knowing what it is but not why it is.
Gradually going deeper into the realm of Xuanxian, analyzing the essence of the laws, one can understand both the how and the why.
The Golden Immortal Realm and the Taiyi Realm are the beginning of comprehending the great principles, such as the Five Elements Avenue, Yin and Yang Avenue, Cause and Effect Avenue, Space Avenue, etc.
As for the realm of Daluo, one must comprehend a complete great way before becoming the ancestor of a great way.
When it comes to the later realms of Quasi-Sage and Hunyuan, Su Qing’s realm is too low to know.
Su Qing now is like a layman outside the Great Dao. He can create his own magical powers or immortal arts, but he knows nothing about the Great Dao.
However, magical powers or magic arts are only means of protecting the law and increasing the strength against the enemy, but they are of no benefit to the Tao itself.
Ultimately, we still need to understand the great way.
This state of mind requires the word "enlightenment".
But there are different levels of enlightenment: enlightenment of the Tao is the highest, enlightenment of the Dharma is the middle, and enlightenment of the technique is the lowest.
To realize the truth is to comprehend the great way, look within oneself, cut through the thorns and brambles on the path, and create one's own path.
For example, the way of martial arts, the way of immortals, the way of demons, the way of souls, the way of ghosts, the way of monsters, the way of origin, the way of taming beasts, the way of swords, etc.
Just like the Emperor Huang Tian who created the method of covering the sky, he created a path by force.
No practitioner of the Heaven-Covering Method can surpass Emperor Huangtian, because he is the founder of this method.
For example, the Honghuang Immortal Way was founded by Hongjun Daozu, and it is extremely difficult for later generations to surpass him.
How can a cultivator surpass the ancestor of a Dao? Chaos has boundaries, the Dao has an end, the mountains are not as high as me, the Dao is not as big as me, I am the peak of chaos! This is the ancestor of Dao! To understand the Dharma, that is, to follow the path of the predecessors and comprehend the Dharma that belongs to you, but it is difficult to jump out of the path of the predecessors.
Like the Wu Shi Great Emperor and others, although they created their own laws, they were still unable to transcend the path opened up by the Huang Tian Emperor.
Even if they could open up the sixth, seventh, or even ninth secret realms on top of the fifth, so what? It would be impossible to surpass the achievements of the ancestor of the Dao. Even if they could be equal to him, it would be an unimaginable achievement.
As for the art of enlightenment, it is just copying what others have said and constantly pursuing the so-called secret techniques of magic. Even if one is lucky enough to understand the secret techniques of magic, it is difficult to achieve great success in the end.
This is true for all living beings.
With Su Qing's current level, it is extremely difficult to comprehend the great Dao.
He was totally confused and didn't know how to start.
The most difficult thing is to realize the truth! Not only that, the truth is hidden and not obvious. If you want to comprehend it, you may not gain anything even if you spend thousands of years.
“So difficult!”
Thinking of this, Su Qing couldn't help but feel a headache.
No wonder the immortals and gods in the legends would often go into seclusion for thousands of years.
Once you leave the border, the world outside has changed drastically.
The king's flag changes with the changing times, and there is no one who recognizes me anymore in this world.
“This won’t work.”
Su Qing couldn't help but mutter to himself. He had experienced the thrill of increasing his strength like riding a rocket. Letting him slowly comprehend the great truth was more painful than killing him.
After all, he is only twenty-seven years old now, but he has already reached the realm of the thirteenth-level Golden Immortal.
But because he improved so quickly, he had no idea where to start in order to comprehend the great truth.
There are three thousand avenues. Where should he start and which avenue should he choose?
"Time, space, cause and effect, fate. These avenues are too abstruse. It's better not to think about them."
"The Five Elements and Yin and Yang are relatively simple, so why not start with these great principles?"
Su Qing collected his thoughts and gradually came up with an idea.
The great principles of time and space are too vague, and it would be extremely difficult to comprehend them.
It is better to set your sights on some more common principles, such as the five elements and yin and yang.
"The five elements are gold, wood, water, fire and earth"
“Got it!”
At this time, Su Qing seemed to have thought of something, and opened the chat group mall.
After selecting from tens of millions of products, he found four divine powers.
After spending 2 points, buy these four divine powers.
Then he took out the lower-level godhood of water from the portable space, and thus gathered the five elements of godhood: gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
“Refine!”
Su Qing cut his finger and dripped blood on the five divine bodies to recognize their master.
"Buzz"
The will of the universe descended, and Su Qing split off a strand of his soul, creating five more divine clones.
The law of the gold element, the law of the wood element, the law of the water element, the law of the fire element, and the law of the earth element.
Each elemental law has six mysteries. In an instant, thirty mysteries flooded into my mind.
Su Qing couldn't help but sit down cross-legged, slowly digesting and comprehending these mysteries.
Parallel world, Blue Planet.
Ding Hongli took her brand new ID card and went around in circles, finally returning to the initial novice village.
She traveled through time and space to the railway residential quarters where she lived when she possessed the body of a kitten.
Her registered residence is also in this community, and she fabricated an identity that became an eighteen-year-old orphan.
Her non-existent parents died in the line of duty, leaving her a house and some pension.
I graduated from high school this year. My grades were average and I didn’t get into university, only into a junior college.
Using the key to open the door, Ding Hongli walked into the home of this world.
The house is located on the third floor, with three bedrooms and two living rooms, 98 square meters, and a simple layout.
"I have to find something to do to find time."
Lying on the fabric sofa in the living room, Ding Hongli muttered to herself.
If a person is too bored and has nothing to do, he will go crazy.
She doesn't plan to go to college, it's a waste of time and meaningless.
"First, take a look at the situation in this world."
After thinking for a while, Ding Hongli took out a brand new Orange mobile phone.
This mobile phone uses the latest Western technology. It has gotten rid of the old keyboard and uses an LCD touch screen, which is stylish, elegant and classy.
It is sold for as high as 5,888 yuan, while the current average wage is only 800 yuan per month.
Even so, it has immediately attracted the attention of people all over the world since it was launched on the market.
Many young people are proud to own an Orange mobile phone. When they hold it in their hands, they will definitely attract people’s attention.
"As for celebrities, there is no Andy Lau, no Stephen Chow, no Milk Tea Lun, no..."
"In terms of culture, there is no Li Bai, no Du Fu, no Su Shi, no."
"Hey, there is actually a Tianlong website. However, it is similar to the Rongshu website in my previous life, and it does not follow the Qidian charging model."
"It really is a parallel world. It's so different from my previous life."
After browsing the Internet for a while, Ding Hongli had a general idea in her mind.
At the same time, she also decided on her next career path: writing novels.
It is not easy to become a star. Even though she has works from her previous life, it is not easy for her to stand out.
But writing novels is different. There is almost no threshold. As long as you have hands, you can do it.
According to her understanding, online literature in this world is almost a desert and is still in the transition period between publishing and online literature serialization.
For example, on Tianlong.com, the male channels there are almost all martial arts, all following the old routine of 'falling off a cliff and gaining magical powers'.
The female channels are almost all romances, with the same old bloody plots like "car accidents, cancer, and incurable diseases."
These novels only serialize the first few tens of thousands of words for free online, and the rest of the content requires purchasing physical books offline.
The authors serialized the previous chapters online, firstly to build their reputation and secondly to find a publisher.
"The audience for female channels is relatively smaller than that for male channels, so it's better to choose male channels."
After some consideration, Ding Hongli decided on the category of her first work.
"Which book are you copying? Zhu Xian? Dou Po?"
Ding Hongli has no psychological burden at all when it comes to copying books.
She was just struggling over which one to choose.
"Let's choose Zhu Xian. Besides, it has its own theme song, so it will be easier to adapt it into games, TV shows, movies, etc."
"When I don't want to copy novels anymore, I can try my hand in the film, television and singing industries."
I snapped my fingers and happily decided on my first debut novel.
Ding Hongli opened the document software that came with her phone and started typing: Book Title: Zhu Xian
Introduction: There are no gods in this world, but since ancient times, humans have seen the world around them. Writing 10,000 words in one breath, so easy!
After entering the wonderland, Ding Hongli's memory was strengthened, and every word she saw in her previous life was clearly recorded in her mind.
Even when typing on her mobile phone, her typing speed reached a terrifying 8,000 words per hour.
If I switch to a computer keyboard and practice more for a while, I'm afraid I can increase my speed to 10,000 or 20,000 kilometers per hour.
After saving the document, Ding Hongli opened Tianlong.com in her mobile browser and registered an account: Jiutian Fairy.
She uploaded the 10,000 words she had just typed, left an email address for easy contact, and then closed the website.
Then I started writing and saving drafts, trying to finish the full text of "Zhu Xian" of more than one million words as soon as possible.
Heimao is a senior editor of Longhua Publishing House. He has been in the industry for more than ten years and has trained many authors. He is quite famous in the industry.
However, in the past two years, Longhua Publishing House has begun to decline, and the contracted authors have either stopped writing or ran away when their contracts expired.
As a veteran editor, Black Cat is naturally under tremendous pressure.
"Eh, Zhu Xian? What a big mouth!"
That day, he was browsing Tianlong.com on the computer of the publishing house, scanning the rankings to see if he could find any bargains. After scanning a bunch of crappy books that were full of nonsense, suddenly a novel called "Zhu Xian" appeared in front of him.
“The writing is average, but the story is quite novel and interesting!”
After reading the 10,000-word text, Black Cat was still not satisfied and was eagerly looking forward to the following plot.
After seeing the email address at the back, he thought about it and sent a contract email to the other party.
"Longhua Publishing House's intention to sign a contract?"
By the time Ding Hongli saw the email, it was four hours later.
She checked and found that Longhua was only a second-rate publishing house in the country and was on the decline.
"Forget it, let's see what price he can offer first."
She didn't want to pay attention to it, but then she changed her mind and decided to see how sincere the other party was.
According to the Penguin account left in the other party's email, Ding Hongli added the other party as a friend.
"Twenty for a thousand words? How about sending away beggars?"
After adding the editor named Black Cat as a friend, the editor threw a contract to me without saying a word.
Ding Hongli took a quick glance and almost jumped up and cursed.
Forget about royalties. I can only get a fixed fee of 20 yuan per thousand words, and that’s before tax.
Moreover, it is full copyright. As long as she signs the contract, the copyright of Zhu Xian will belong to the other publishing house.
Ding Hongli would not agree to such conditions unless she was out of her mind.
Without even thinking twice, she blocked the other person.
There is no such way to bully newcomers. Do you really think Ding Hongli is an ordinary person? The quality of Zhu Xian is there! In the next few days, Ding Hongli updated 4,000 words every day, attracting popularity while saving manuscripts.
Sure enough, in the following few days, we received signing intentions from major publishing houses across the country.
She selected from among them and chose a publishing house called "Tianxia" and signed a publishing contract with them.
The book was signed but not the person, with 120 characters per thousand and the first edition printed in 50,000 copies. The other party only signed the simplified Chinese publishing rights, and the remaining versions still belong to Ding Hongli.
Although this condition is not the best among all publishing houses, it is the most suitable one for Ding Hongli.
She also agreed with the other party that if the sales of the first volume were good, the subsequent royalties would be negotiated.
"Huh? What is that?"
Just after sending the contract, Ding Hongli suddenly frowned.
ps: Last day, please give me a monthly ticket! (End of this chapter)
