Chapter 174: One person achieves enlightenment, and the whole world cries (very important, please subscribe!)

"Spiritual imprint? What is that?"

Gu Dan fully demonstrated the spirit of asking questions without hesitation and asked immediately.

The deceived Qingpingzi gasped for air and said weakly: “It means in the simplest sense, to forcibly imprint a piece of content or something into a person’s mind.

Generally speaking, it only has a chance of working when the superior is against the inferior, and it must be a crushing situation. Even so, it may directly drive the person crazy, unless he or she accepts it voluntarily.

Although the situation is similar to the Soul Mirroring, one is for inheritance, and the other is to forcibly restrict and change a person. This method can be said to be extremely vicious! "

"If I'm not mistaken, you seem to have blocked this mental imprint? If not, what should you do?" Gu Dan finally asked.

Qingpingzi glanced at Gu Dan. There was no doubt that Gu Dan, who had been one step ahead of him, was very likely to have been tricked. No wonder he was kindly brought here, just to see how he would deal with it!

But when you live under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.

The Xingluo magic weapon determined that he had no chance of defeating it, so there was no need for him to make any more futile struggles.

“After being mentally branded, it is extremely difficult to remove it on your own. Usually, you need a strong person at the same level as the one who cast the mental brand, or even a master who is even more powerful, to have a chance to remove it - and you must have extreme trust in the person, otherwise if he does anything during the removal, the consequences will be unpredictable.” Qingpingzi said.

"Next."

Gu Dan said without changing his expression and showing no disappointment at all.

Now that he is the best master in the world, where can he find people to help him?

"The second method is to rely on your own efforts, visualization diagrams, or some special spiritual practice techniques to clear it out bit by bit. This method is very slow to take effect and requires years of hard work to achieve."

Noticing that Gu Dan's expression did not change, Qing Pingzi continued, "The good news is that even if you want to cultivate immortality now, you can't. This spiritual imprint is equivalent to being ineffective."

"What else? For example, your method of blocking the mental imprint."

Gu Dan narrowed his eyes slightly, "That starlight, you won't tell me that it came from my own practice, right?"

"You have divine thoughts?!"

Qingpingzi was surprised, his face changed drastically, he never thought that Gu Dan could actually "see" it!

That is something that belongs to the realm of the soul, how could a martial arts master possibly touch it? ! "Now, I'm asking you."

Gu Dan reminded calmly.

Now that he has reached that level of strength, there is no need for him to explain anything.

"Well, as you can see. There is another kind of mental imprint that can deal with the mental imprint. The strength of a person's soul is limited. It is already very difficult for an ordinary person to bear one mental imprint. If there is another mental imprint, the soul will collapse. At this time, the mental imprint that first occupied the soul will fight with the later one. This is the third method, fighting poison with poison."

Qingpingzi shrugged, "I believe you probably won't like this method."

"Well said."

Gu Dan nodded and praised, "I didn't find any flaws. Next, shall I continue to ask, or do you tell me one by one? For example, why is it that every time an emperor ascends the throne, a Taoist priest comes to visit him? For example, why did you search in Yuzhou for six years but don't know anything? There is still a lot of time. You can talk slowly, as long as I don't find any flaws."

"You and I are not enemies, we are just poor seekers. Why should we make things difficult for each other?"

Qingpingzi sighed. After hunting geese all day, he was finally pecked in the eye by a goose.

"Just tell the truth. I'm not a bloodthirsty person. Just tell me the truth and I'll listen quietly. It's fate that we met by chance, so let's just sit down and talk."

Gu Dan said confidently: "I have never broken my promise."

His advantage is that he has the strength to control Qingpingzi, but his knowledge of the way of immortals is far inferior to Qingpingzi.

If Qingpingzi plays some trick of nine truths and one lie, don't blame him for being ruthless.

"All right."

Qingpingzi recalled that Gu Dan had once blamed him for the Third Prince's murder of Imperial Physician Lin. Someone who even had some feelings for the Imperial Hospital should not be a bloodthirsty person.

"It's okay to tell you. You are so young, but your strength has reached the peak of the world. It is far beyond the reach of ordinary people. Even the Grandmaster is not your opponent. But knowing some things may not be a good thing for you. It will only add to your worries. Do you still want to listen?"

Qingpingzi said seriously.

"You speak, I listen."

Gu Dan answered without question.

"Oh well."

Qingpingzi sat up directly on the ground, leaning against the mountain wall behind him, and said, "Do you know any myths or legends?"

"Which one?"

Gu Dan asked, "There are too many myths and legends."

"Let's start with the earliest living creatures. The earliest living creatures were all upright, like gods and demons. We call that group of creatures 'witches'. Witches, with their flesh and blood, can shake the heavens and the earth. Folk sayings say witches can 'dance to summon gods' and pray for blessings and ward off disasters.

Even humans, in myths and legends, were created by one of the witches, and in the beginning they were just playthings, right?" Qingpingzi asked.

“That’s right.”

Gu Dan frowned slightly, wondering why Qingpingzi suddenly started telling legends.

"Then the question is - if this is true, where did the witches go at the beginning? Why did 'humans' catch up later? The myths say that there is a great catastrophe in the world. What kind of catastrophe is it? Why does it happen? Where does it come from?"

For a moment, Qingpingzi asked questions one after another, as if it was not Gu Dan who was questioning him, but he was torturing Gu Dan.

Gu Dan shook his head slightly. He naturally had not studied these myths and legends in depth.

"Okay, let's ignore this question for now. There is another myth that you must have heard of, 'The morning mushroom does not know the new moon and full moon, and the cicada does not know spring and autumn. This is a short year. There is a ghost in the south of Chu who regards 500 years as spring and 500 years as autumn. In ancient times, there was a big tree that regarded 8,000 years as spring and 8,000 years as autumn. This is a long year. And Peng Zu is now famous for his longevity, and everyone is comparable to him. Isn't it sad!'

Peng Zu experienced eight hundred years of withering and flourishing, and Ming Ling experienced a thousand years, but he was not as good as Da Chun for half a year, far worse! Not to mention a big year? Why? ! "

Qingpingzi asked again.

Gu Dan simply shook his head again.

Many things in myths and legends are vague and difficult to withstand careful scrutiny. There are many things that are not detailed enough. He certainly has no attainments in this area, and it is even more impossible for him to argue with Qingpingzi who makes a living from this.

"Okay, let's change to another one. You must be more familiar with this one! In ancient times, there were Qigong practitioners. Those who ate Qi lived to be like gods! Even now, many legends about swallowing clouds and spitting out mist, and eating dew in the morning glow all come from this - even in the immortal way, there is a realm of 'Qigong'!"

Qing Pingzi's eyes were dim and his voice was much higher. "Don't you find it strange? Why is it that the Qi Refiners who were so high up in the legends became the lowest level, or even the beginning level, when they reached the immortal path? In those ancient legends, Qi Refiners were Qi Refiners. Although there were differences in strength, there was no difference in level!"

"What exactly do you want to say?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Gu Dan's voice sank slightly. "There are no outsiders here. You could have made your words clearer. You don't have to resort to myths and legends to increase your credibility before talking about business, as you did to deceive Emperor Zong Ming. This will not make you look powerful, but will only erode my trust in you."

“No, no, no!”

Qing Pingzi shook his head repeatedly, "What I want to say is hidden in these legends. How did the witches in ancient times practice? They hardly practiced. They were born sacred, and they would become extremely powerful just by eating. Even a newborn witch could do something like 'strength to pull up mountains and courage to conquer the world'. Power was readily available to them!

However, its rise was rapid, and its fall was also sudden. The witches who seemed like gods and demons suddenly disappeared, and the legends jumped from witches to humans, and directly began the legend of Qi Refiners. After Qi Refiners, they jumped directly to the immortal way in one breath, and Qi Refining became the lowest level of cultivation! "

Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Qing Pingzi who was talking fluently without any pause, and looked confident, and asked: "Could it be that you know the answer?"

"I know, the answer is hidden in the story!"

Qingpingzi's voice became excited. "In the mortal world, the ultimate path of martial arts is the Grandmaster - Grandmaster, right? Ha, why is there no path above the Grandmaster? It is clear that the witch in the myth can tear the world apart and destroy the sun and the moon with just the flesh. Just because humans are humans and witches are witches, humans cannot practice the flesh? How can such a bullshit make sense!

The Qi Refiner was so noble, eating dew from the morning glow, cultivating the innate Qi, and being unparalleled in divine power, but now he can only be the lowest level of the immortal path."

His voice became low, and his black eyes stared at Gu Dan with sadness, as if he was sad for Gu Dan, or sad for himself, or sad for all the practitioners in the world.

"Because, once someone reaches the end of a road, all those who come after him will be blocked from this road! Not only blocked, but all those who practice the same method before him and behind him will suffer from invisible suppression. The more advanced the cultivation, the more so!"

"What?!"

This was the first time Gu Dan heard this statement and he almost suspected that he had heard it wrongly.

"Some wizards have taken the path of the physical body to the end, so the martial arts master is the limit in the mortal world; some Qi practitioners have taken the path of Qi to the end, so Qi training has become the lowest level of the immortal path. No matter how powerful these two paths were in the past, when one path has come to an end, all living beings since then have paid the price unknowingly!

It's not just that this road is blocked! A witch is born sacred, and his life span is hard to predict. A Qi cultivator can live a thousand years without worries, but a hundred years is just spring and summer. What about now?"

Qing Pingzi pointed at Gu Dan, then at himself, and laughed, "Master of martial arts! Hahahaha, master of martial arts! Live more than 120 years!"

In that almost crazy laughter, there was unspeakable bitterness and pain.

Even a mortal who is not proficient in martial arts has the opportunity to live a long life.

But for a martial arts master, his life span is limited to 120 years! !

What a joke! Gu was suddenly startled by worry, his heart seemed to be pinched by an invisible big hand, and his spine felt cold!

"Wait a minute, you just mentioned witches and Qigong practitioners, right? I know more about the realms of cultivation than just these! Qigong, foundation building, and golden elixir."

Gu Dan asked in a deep voice.

"The first time, after the witches were almost wiped out, some of the forerunners had already noticed it."

Qing Pingzi smiled, "When some Qigong practitioners reach the extreme of transcendence, disaster strikes again. This time, even a fool should understand why it is so. Qigong, foundation building, golden elixir, Nascent Soul, and spirit transformation. Oh, and count a martial arts master who is not classified as an immortal. Behind each of these realms is an incomparably grand and magnificent past.

But future generations can only hear the story of the witch and the Qigong practitioner, because after this matter is confirmed, it is naturally impossible to spread it - that would be too obvious!"

Gu Dan's palms clenched unconsciously, "Why is that?!"

"Who knows? But there is no doubt that every time a road reaches its end, all the monks in the world will suffer great hardships. People often compare mountain climbing to spiritual practice, but unfortunately, spiritual practice is not mountain climbing, but smashing a pot! There is a raging fire under the pot! Whoever smashes the pot first is the winner! All the remaining monks will be repeatedly tortured by the fire. Even if they are not born yet, this price has already been paid!"

Qingpingzi's voice seemed to come from hell, "When one person attains enlightenment, the whole world cries. This is reality!"

Gu Dan couldn't explain how he felt right now.

The success of a person requires everyone to pay for it. Even unborn babies are destined to bear the shackles of their predecessors - and they also have to worry about whether someone will ruin it again! "How do you prove that what you say is true?"

Gu Dan admitted that what Qingpingzi said was extremely terrifying when one thought about it carefully. Even the special Taoist essence that Master Ji had when he was trying to reach the innate realm could be explained by this.

But this is only Qingpingzi's one-sided statement after all. What if it is a big lie? "Explanation? The martial arts master lived for more than 120 years. What explanation is needed? You know, even after the master's death, his body can still not decay for a hundred years! If the body does not decay, how did the person die? The soul died! Why did the soul die? Because there are too many existences pressing on it, and it has been chopped down time and time again. Now, a hundred years can say that the world has changed drastically!"

Qingpingzi continued, "Do you think that only martial arts masters are subject to this restriction? A practitioner at the Qi training stage can live no longer than 150 years! A practitioner at the foundation building stage can live no longer than 300 years! A practitioner at the golden elixir stage can live no longer than 500 years! This is already terribly low, even lower than a newly born witch baby!

All the cultivators in the world of immortal cultivation who knew about this news speculated that if there was another person who had achieved enlightenment, as long as he messed up again, there would be no so-called path to cultivation in the future - no matter how gifted and talented he was, if he didn't have enough lifespan, what could he do? !"
