Chapter 181 You Are Really Eleven Years Old
Zhenxuan Dojo.
With the departure of Barbarian King and Treasure Tree Buddha, the original commotion gradually calmed down, but the shocked gazes did not calm down at all, and all looked at Taoist Baishan.
Now that the melee has ceased, the original tension has faded.
Only gradually did they realize what was happening.
Originally, I thought that what I came to attend today was just a celestial ceremony of a new celestial being of the Zhenxuan Sect. However, I never imagined that this so-called new celestial being was actually the rumored founder of the Zhenxuan Sect, Zhenxuan Zhenjun!
"We pay our respects to the True Lord!" The mighty voice echoed throughout Zhenxuan Mountain, and everyone bowed down respectfully.
This is a living true lord.
If you can get even a little bit of guidance, you will really make a fortune. This is a rare opportunity that you can only encounter once in a lifetime.
Everyone's eyes were burning with excitement.
The Taoist priest Baishan just smiled and waved his hand.
Now that they are born, there is no need to hide anymore. After a while, the old guys will all be born one after another.
"Thank you all for coming to participate in the Taoist's Heavenly Ceremony. I'm sorry to have surprised you all." He was not arrogant, and everyone was flattered and didn't even dare to say anything.
The disciples of Zhenxuan Sect are extremely fanatical.
The legendary ancestor appeared before their eyes. The dreamlike feeling of faith coming true made many older Taoists excited to the point of tears. They could never have imagined that the shapeless Baishan Zhenren was actually the ancestor.
Ning Qi didn't know when he had returned.
Taoist Longshan looked at him, and Ning Qi just smiled and nodded. He was immediately relieved and at the same time amazed in his heart. The tacit understanding between the master and the disciple was all in their eyes. The other Zhenwu disciples had no idea what was going on. Only Zhuang Chen and Li Ling had some guesses.
Taoist Baishan glanced at Ning Qi, and then said loudly:
"Today, I will explain to you the way of heaven and man."
The sermon had already begun, but was interrupted by the people from Dajue Temple. Now that there were no more distractions, it continued naturally.
You can't just accept a gift and not do the job.
Everyone was suddenly excited.
The True Lord preaching in person was much better than expected. Taoist Longshan sat upright, and even Ning Qi was looking forward to it.
On top of the Taotai.
The Taoist priest Baishan sat casually, and the vast Taoist voice sounded:
"A celestial being cultivates the three flowers of heaven, earth and man. Although the three flowers are heaven, earth and man, the root of them cannot escape the word man..."
At this moment, Taoist Baishan looked ethereal as he slowly expounded on the principles of heaven and man. The demeanor of a true lord emanated naturally, and strange visions of mountains and rivers occasionally appeared in the sky and earth. White cranes circled around, and the sound of Tao was vast. The guests listened with fascination and felt as if they had been enlightened.
Ning Qi could tell that Taoist Baishan was not hiding anything.
I don’t know if it was to compensate everyone for being disturbed today or for other reasons, but he explained the way of heaven and man very thoroughly, and it can be said that he taught everyone everything he knew.
Not only that, but he also used mysterious power to bless his preaching and help others.
This is the comprehension of the way of heaven and man by a powerful Martial Saint. There must be something different and unique about it from such a high vantage point. Even Ning Qi felt that he gained something from listening to it, not to mention the others. Some people couldn't help but burst into tears after listening to it, and were so moved that they felt as if they could die at the end of their lives just to hear the truth in the morning.
I don’t know how much time has passed.
The Taoist priest Baishan slowly stopped preaching.
Each guest was still reminiscing about the experience, and all of them had gained something. Some even achieved breakthroughs on the spot and were moved to tears of gratitude.
"We thank you for your teachings!"
Everyone was excited and extremely grateful.
This is not just a polite remark, but comes completely from the heart.
What Taoist Baishan said today was to completely unfold the way of Heaven and Man in front of everyone. This was something that would never have happened in previous Heaven and Man ceremonies. The ones who benefited the most were those who came to the Heaven and Man realm. Today's preaching swept away many of their confusions. In the future, they only need to move forward step by step, and they will surely reach the realm that they had not dared to hope for in the past.
As for the rest of the Gangyuan realm or the young generation, they also gained a lot. The Tianren realm may be far away from them, but today's explanation from the simple to the complex has also set a goal for them to pursue.
The Taoist priest Baishan smiled and raised his eyebrows:
"You should always reflect on your mistakes and work harder."
There seemed to be some kind of advice and encouragement hidden in his words, and everyone was grateful. Ning Qi raised his eyebrows. He initially thought that Taoist Baishan wanted to compensate the guests because the incident at the Heavenly Ceremony had disturbed them, but now it seems that this may not be the case, otherwise there would be no need for him to preach so selflessly.
Now it feels more like he hopes everyone can improve their strength to deal with something.
Speculations arose in his mind.
Everyone bowed respectfully:
"We will keep in mind the Master's teachings!"
After a moment of silence, a powerful person in the Heavenly Realm bravely stood up. He was from the Yin-Yang Sect, the world's number one sect, and his name was Yang Li Zhenren. He took a deep breath and said:
"I have something I want to ask you, Master!"
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
Taoist Baishan said calmly:
"speak."
Yang Li Zhenren did not dare to offend, and asked cautiously:
"May I ask if you have lived for ten thousand years?"
The old Taoist priest at Baishan shook his head slowly:
"No, a martial saint can live for three thousand years at most. We ancient saints came to the modern world by using different means."
Ning Qi's eyes narrowed.
“True Lord, the ancient saints are appearing one after another, is something big about to happen?” Their eyes were filled with desire, and they vaguely sensed uneasiness.
The Taoist priest Baishan was silent for a long time before he sighed:
“The time has not come yet.”
Zhenren Yangli quickly apologized.
Everyone's heart skipped a beat.
But the Taoist priest Baishan had already stood up and walked away amid many awe-inspiring gazes.
The remaining two were Master Bai Ye and others who continued the process.
Of course, some polite words have to be said.
But from the shocked and uncertain looks in everyone's eyes, one can foresee what huge changes will be caused when today's events are spread. One is afraid that a major earthquake will occur in the entire Da Yan. When the ancient saints return, many forces may be reshuffled.
Some of the currently powerful martial arts sects may not have a long heritage, but some of the declining small forces may have ancient saints resurrected.
But what makes everyone even more uneasy is what the return of the ancient sage really means?
Ning Qi no longer wanted to stay here, so after giving Taoist Longshan a look, he left quietly.
…
The top floor of the Zhenxuan Sect’s Sutra Library.
Ning Qi stepped in slowly.
The Taoist priest Bai Shan, who was flipping through ancient books in front of the white jade bookshelf, turned around, his robe fluttering like a fairy. His temperament was completely different from what Ning Qi had seen before. But the next moment, the demeanor of a true master disappeared. He grinned, revealing his big yellow teeth, and then made a sound of clicking his tongue:
"Good boy Ning, you are really good at hiding it!"
He circled around Ning Qi, looking at him constantly, with a lewd look in his eyes.
The strange feeling that Ning Qi had originally felt in his heart suddenly disappeared. He casually slapped away the Taoist Bai Shan's right hand and rolled his eyes.
"Same here, you never told me that you are the famous Zhenxuan Zhenjun."
The Taoist priest Baishan laughed:
"Isn't that low-key? I'm not an ostentatious person. Besides, I've warned you that if you follow me in the future, you'll have everything you want. If you don't follow me, who can you blame?"
Ning Qi glanced at him and picked up an ancient book from the bookshelf.
He was originally a little confused about where these ancient books came from, but now he understood that they were most likely collected by the person in front of him, and they might even have been written by him.
Ning Qi opened the ancient book and said:
"It says here that the power of heaven and earth is called spiritual energy. What does that mean?"
The old Taoist in Baishan looked at the bumpkin with such eyes:
"In ancient times, everyone called it this way, but later the inheritance was cut off, and the name of spiritual energy was gradually hidden. Later people gave it the name of the power of heaven and earth to show their respect. Of course, this is not the only reason. Strictly speaking, there are indeed some differences between the power of heaven and earth and spiritual energy."
"You don't know this? Are you really only eleven years old?"
He looked straight at Ning Qi, as if trying to find out something.
The main reason was that Ning Qi's previous performance was too amazing, and he could even surpass Baoshu Buddha. Although Taoist Baishan had always despised Baoshu Buddha's character, he still recognized his strength. The ancient saint who could live to the present world was not someone that anyone could challenge.
Logically speaking, except for a few special people, no one in this era can be a match for these old monsters.
Ning Qi is definitely an exception.
Ning Qi raised his eyebrows:
"What else? How old do you think I am? Twelve?"
Taoist Baishan grimaced, feeling a little tight in his chest. He finally sighed:
"Damn it... what a monster!"
There was a look of regret in his eyes.
"If I had been born ten thousand years earlier, perhaps..."
Ning Qi understood the meaning behind this, and he just asked:
"Why did the inheritance end?"
The old Taoist priest at Baishan sighed:
"Erased all together."
Ning Qi was surprised:
"It wasn't done by the Great Flame Martial Saint?"
The Taoist priest at Baishan laughed:
"Of course not. Although this person's methods are also extremely powerful, he alone cannot make all the martial arts disappear in the long river of history."
This solved a doubt in Ning Qi's mind. Before, both Wu Jianghe and the Great Elder of the Demon Sect thought that the Great Yan Martial Saint wanted to be the only one in power and therefore erased all the Martial Saint techniques. But now it seems that this is not the case.
Ning Qi looked directly at the Taoist priest Baishan:
"how so?"
The Taoist priest Baishan's eyes turned deep:
"It is unspeakable."
"Is it related to the changes in the world?"
"It is unspeakable."
Ning Qi was silent. He exhaled lightly and said:
"Is there anything you can tell me?"
The old Taoist priest at Baishan sighed:
"It's not that I don't want to tell you some things, but if I force you to tell me, it will not be good for you or me. When you step into the Martial Saint realm one day, you will naturally know. However, it is not easy for you to step into the Martial Saint realm now. You have neither the Martial Saint Method nor the rich spiritual inspiration. You still need to wait for some time."
As they talked, they looked out the window side by side.
"So, you are not at the Martial Saint level now?" Ning Qi asked, but his words were very firm.
He sensed the previous battle very clearly. Except for the blind old man, the other three relied on the Martial Saint's Secret Treasure just like him. The only difference was that these three were once powerful Martial Saints. Therefore, even the Martial Saint's power condensed by the secret treasure could be manipulated with ease and could unleash powerful force.
The Taoist priest at Baishan nodded:
"That's right. My spiritual power has not yet recovered. I am no different from you. I am just a perfect person. My previous strength was based on my life treasure, the True Mystical Seal."
Speaking of.
He turned his palm and a small seal floated above it, revealing the mysterious aura.
Ning Qi also took out the Yu Wang Pearl.
The Taoist priest Baishan suddenly smiled and said:
"As expected, you have obtained a secret treasure of the Martial Saint. You have figured out how to use it. It is really not simple. However, I did not expect that the secret treasure of the Martial Saint you obtained was actually the Yu Wang Pearl."
Ning Qi was surprised:
"Do you know this secret treasure? I got it from the Demon Sect."
The Taoist priest at Baishan looked reminiscent:
"Of course. Speaking of which, I, the old Taoist, have met the owner of this Yu Wangzhu before. It seems that it was during the last reincarnation. After waking up from the last reincarnation, I found that Dayu had been replaced by Dayan. The other one also disappeared. I don't know if he chose other ways to escape from the world."
Seeing Ning Qi's serious expression, Taoist Bai Shan smiled:
"Don't worry, if that person really wakes up and comes back, I will mediate between you. It won't be a big problem. But I think there is a high probability that he has a problem and may not be able to come back."
Ning Qi nodded slightly.
He really didn't know whether the owner of the Yu Wangzhu would come to cause trouble for him, but he would not put all his hopes on others. He just kept this in mind and secretly raised his vigilance.
Taoist Bai Shan shook his head and laughed, knowing that Ning Qi did not completely take his words in.
Ning Qi asked again:
"What is the inspiration you mentioned just now?"
Taoist Baishan thought for a moment and said:
"Do you remember what I said just now that there is still some difference between the power of heaven and earth and spiritual energy?"
"The difference lies in inspiration."
"In our time, due to some reasons, all the martial saints decided to separate the spiritual energy from the spiritual energy, and then it gradually evolved into the current power of heaven and earth. Without the spiritual energy, the power of heaven and earth is still powerful, but it lacks a lot of spirituality."
"Do you know why the True Mystical Seal and your Yu Wang Pearl can condense spiritual power? Oh, yes, spiritual power is what you often call the power of the Martial Saint."
He was smiling.
Ning Qi was not stupid, and he understood immediately:
"You mean, there is a spiritual power in these two secret treasures?"
"You are teachable, but without inspiration, you cannot gather spiritual power. It is basically impossible for you to reach the realm of martial saint."
Ning Qi's heart skipped a beat. It was the first time he heard such a statement, but he immediately frowned and said:
"But I know that some people can use external objects to reach the Martial Saint realm, such as the Blood Emperor Gu in Southern Xinjiang and the Holy Pill of the Demon Sect. Could it be that there are a lot of spiritual energy hidden in these two?"
The Taoist priest at Baishan waved his hand:
"Those who achieve success with the help of external objects are only false saints. In the current environment of heaven and earth, he is a funnel. If he moves, his spiritual power will be continuously consumed, and he may even fall to a lower realm. Unless his spiritual power is revived one day and he has the corresponding method, he may gradually gain a foothold and become a true martial saint."
"Otherwise, such a false saint can only bully the little guys in the Heaven Realm. When they meet old guys like us, they have to kneel down. Of course, you are an exception."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but show surprise on his face.
