Chapter 709: Teaching the Ultimate
As if in response to the figure's words, the entire world became dim in an instant.
Xu Bai even vaguely heard the helpless cries.
Then, the thin figure shook his head slightly and turned around.
He met Xu Bai's eyes.
boom!
His mind suddenly exploded and roared. Because Xu Bai was shocked to find that the figure looked exactly like him!
wrong……
The face suddenly changed as his eyes blurred. Xu Bai seemed to see Mr. Bai's peerless beauty again.
But he was a little different from the one I had seen before in the Beastmaster Sect. He didn’t look like that peerless and celestial being.
Instead, it has a bit more of a sense of sadness and compassion for the world. It is more real and has a bit more of a "mortal" flavor.
His clear eyes seemed to contain countless emotions and stories that he wanted to express.
It was like a whirlpool, gradually swallowing up Xu Bai's mind.
…
"wake up!"
A light shout, like the sound of a huge bell, seemed to come from the sky. It passed through the barrier of the infinite world and suddenly appeared in Xu Bai's ears.
Xu Bai's eyes instantly went from cloudy and lifeless to regaining a hint of liveliness.
When I looked at Mr. Bai again, the flesh on his face was melting away like a candle. His face, which was originally breathtakingly beautiful, now looked so eerie and terrifying.
But in just a moment, the horrific look on Mr. Bai's face had spread to his entire body.
As if being cut off by a gust of wind, in the blink of an eye he turned into a white skeleton.
The empty eye sockets just stared straight at Xu Bai.
Xu Bai was suddenly shocked.
The surrounding scene was like cracks appearing on glass.
Shattered in an instant.
A slight feeling of dizziness came over me, and the illusion disappeared completely.
The black-robed monk who came to receive him scanned his body for a moment, then slowly said: "There is a trace of the aura of the Dharma-Transmitting Heavenly Venerable in this space. The monks who come here for the first time will feel it and have hallucinations."
This was not the first time Xu Bai came to the headquarters of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, so he naturally knew about this.
The last time I came here, I saw the towering statue of the Dharma-Spreading Heavenly Venerable.
From the statue, Li Fan felt an extreme sense of crisis and a vague sense of familiarity.
And this time, when the clone created with Xu Ke's essence and blood and Mr. Bai's spiritual charm came here.
What I saw was such a strange scene.
"There is an immortal road ahead that cannot be stepped on, the Dharma-Transmitting Heavenly Venerable is above..."
"Mr. Bai's face turned out to be exactly the same as his clone. And at the end, the horrifying scene of him suddenly turning into white bones..."
"What does all this portend?"
Even after leaving the illusion, Xu Bai still seemed immersed in the shock it brought.
Just out of instinct, I followed the black-robed monk who was leading the way.
It seemed that Xu Bai's amazing looks had taken effect. Seeing this, the black-robed monk did not disturb him.
Just led the way silently.
When the two of them used the transfer array and transformed themselves into beams of light to quickly shuttle through the space of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance headquarters, Xu Bai slowly came out of the influence of the fantasy.
At this time, the black-robed monk who led the way explained to Xu Bai: "This trace of breath left by the Heavenly Lord of Dharma Transmission is usually called the [True Meaning of Dharma Transmission]. The True Meaning of Dharma Transmission is mysterious and has infinite magical uses. Only when a monk enters the space of the Immortal Alliance headquarters for the first time and is caught off guard will he be affected by it and have hallucinations. After staying here for a period of time and the body adapts to the existence of the True Meaning of Dharma Transmission, it will be extremely difficult to face the illusion again."
In the previous life, when Li Fan, Han Yi and Ximen Yue came here, the guide did not explain it in such detail.
"It seems that judging people by their appearance is human nature. Even cultivators like us are not immune to this."
Xu Bai complained in his heart, but he seized the opportunity and asked, "According to what the senior said, the opportunity to face the [True Meaning of the Dharma] seems to be extremely rare and only comes once in a lifetime. But apart from seeing some illusions, I didn't notice any other effects from it?"
The black-robed monk said solemnly, "What we practice are all the new methods passed down by the Heavenly Venerable. Therefore, when we face the [True Meaning of the Dharma], what we see is not just a simple illusion. It is very likely related to everyone's [Ultimate Dao]."
Before Xu Bai could ask any questions, he took the initiative to explain [The Ultimate Dao]: "Every cultivator, since they set foot on the path of cultivation, will probably feel that the road to immortality is long and the future is difficult. At each level, how to cultivate and how to choose the method that suits you best. These are all things we have to explore on our own."
"But there is no chance to start over in life. Once you make a mistake, you will regret it for the rest of your life and will be cut off from the path of life. Therefore, every step we take must be careful and cautious."
"The Ultimate Dao is the most suitable destination for us to practice in the eyes of the Heavenly Venerable. What kind of person is the Heavenly Venerable of Dharma Transmission? His vision is many times higher than ours. What he has determined is basically the same as the truth."
"So, the illusion just now is really crucial. You can ponder it day and night, and you will definitely gain a lot every time."
Countless floating lands flashed past him quickly.
The black-robed monk who led the way slowly and steadily explained the mysterious aspects of [the true meaning of passing on the Dharma].
Finally, it ends with a sigh: "Our spiritual practice is like a road to heaven, obscured by thick fog. If we are not careful and take the wrong path, we will lose our footing and fall, and be smashed to pieces."
“And the ultimate truth of the Way pointed out by the true meaning of the Dharma transmission is like lighting an extremely eye-catching torch at the highest point of the road to heaven. The flame penetrates the fog and illuminates the direction.”
"This is the mercy of the Heavenly Lord for all living beings in the world!"
When the two of them changed back into human form from the form of light and stepped on the ground again, the black-robed monk stopped talking at the same time.
He returned to his original cold appearance.
The straight green stone road leads to a tall black stone tablet at the end.
That is the headquarters of the Guardian Hall of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
As he stepped onto the path of the Dharma, the spiritual energy in his body instantly immersed in it.
Like an ordinary person, Xu Bai walked towards his destination step by step, with his feet on the ground.
It’s a pretty long journey.
When they reached the end, the black-robed monk who led the way spoke again, his tone gentle: "Show the Jade Token here, and you can go in. But I can't go in, so I will wait for you here."
Xu Bai bowed slightly, and then took out the jade token.
Just like in the previous life, a colorful passage emerged from the stone tablet and Xu Bai strode into it.
…
"The user applying for Yanfa Jue is Xu Bai."
"Number: 03. Authority level: Hedao."
"Please wait here patiently. The estimated remaining waiting time is thirteen hours."
A somewhat familiar voice sounded in Xu Bai's ears.
