Following Ying Yao's footsteps, Gu Dan and she came to an altar.
It was unknown what material the altar was made of. It was bright red all over, and the bottom was made of crystal jade like colored glass, emitting a hazy glow.
"This is the Tianhe Altar. Zhen Chi and you asked me to do something. We will need the help of this altar later."
As Ying Yao was speaking, one hundred and eight Heavenly Principle inscriptions appeared beside her, standing on the Tianhe altar, with the Heavenly Talisman for Saving the World and the Seal of Manifesting the World shining brightly with them.
A huge aura vaguely descended upon this place, but no trace of its entity could be found.
The invisible will blows by like a gentle breeze.
"With the help of the Tianhe Altar, one can feel the 'power of heaven'. However, the power of heaven itself is unstable and not stagnant. It is usually not obvious and is difficult for ordinary people to detect.
Only those who are loved by heaven or hated by heaven will show more obvious performance. "
Ying Yao's voice became somewhat steadier, which made Gu Dan feel a little uncomfortable for a moment.
When talking about her area of expertise, the cute 'little guy' doesn't mess around at all.
"With the help of the Heavenly Principle Tablet, one can force a person's will to rise temporarily, to touch the vast existence in the dark. But this is not necessarily a good thing.
Heavenly power is the power of all things in the world. It does not belong to humans alone, or even to living things alone. The saying that heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs is to say that they are impartial and selfless.
Ying Yaoyao then said: "From the perspective of an individual, a good thing that everyone is happy about is the same for Him? I'm afraid not. If you get too close to Him, you will be affected at best, or face heavenly punishment at worst. Generally speaking, except for the disciples of Tianji Sect, few people have such thoughts.
Especially now that the Source Heaven Realm is quite hostile to us 'foreign' creatures. Fortunately, you are a local of the Source Heaven Realm, so you have to have a little face. I will let you try the Tianhe Altar first to see what 'God' means. How about it? "
The Heavenly Dao is not a real conscious individual like humans. It is extremely difficult to communicate with it, and even most people cannot perceive its existence at all.
If we must view the Way of Heaven like a human being, it is not a bad idea to view it as heartless and inhumane.
But even if one is completely heartless and unnatural, the laws of nature do have their tendencies.
People know how to seek benefits and avoid harm. When necessary, the way of heaven will also bestow a portion of its power on the creatures it has nurtured or the creatures that have a great connection with it.
The former are alien creatures, and the latter are people favored by heaven.
In Ying Yaoyao's opinion, since they want to enter the realm of Zuowang, even if it's just for traveling, the most crucial issue is to establish a good relationship with "God".
This way it is easier to leave an intact body.
Even if you are close friends, having your clothes undressed and carefully examined is something you cannot stand, right? Not to mention if we really use the analogy of the Way of Forgetfulness, even after the clothes are undressed, they will be carefully dissected and studied. That is beyond the scope of friendship.
Unless it is a matter of life and death and has to be done, how many people would be willing to do it?
The Tianji Sect, which uses the power of heaven to secretly tamper with the overall situation, will be punished by heaven.
This level of offense is no less serious than trying to steal the secrets of heaven. It is only normal for the body to die and the soul to return to heaven.
Otherwise, the Way of Zuowang would not have been thrown into the garbage dump of history. If its negative effects were not so great, who would be willing to give up the strongest state of enlightenment and study the Way of Heaven seriously?
Is it that the monks nowadays don’t want to? “I understand.”
Gu Dan nodded with a calm expression.
He had come into contact with the state of Zuowang Dao, but he had always entered it passively.
Now, we have to rely on the means of the Saint Maiden Tianji and use the methods of the cultivators to force our way closer. This requires us to consider whether the Heavenly Dao in the dark is willing.
It can be considered a coincidence if a neighbor you have never met occasionally visits you.
With the help of the Tianji Sect's method, it would be like setting up a ladder, forcing one's way over the gate, and diving headfirst into the master's eyes.
It’s hard to say what the real owner’s mood will be at that time.
This risk is unavoidable.
"How about you leave a suicide note or something?"
Ying Yaoyao said cautiously: "I'm afraid I won't be able to explain it clearly when the time comes."
"It's okay. Come on."
Gu Dan shrugged helplessly and ignored her interruption. After taking a deep breath, he walked to the center of the Tianhe altar and sat down cross-legged.
Seeing this, and realizing that this guy was determined, Ying Yaoyao stopped interrupting him and took out a strange-looking sculpture from his storage bag with a wave of his hand.
At first glance, the sculpture seemed to be some kind of creature, but upon closer inspection, it was impossible to find any kind of creature-like appearance, only a vague sense of familiarity.
It's like an aggregation of countless creatures blended together, but it doesn't seem bloody or exclusive at all, but rather extremely inclusive.
“Feel it with your heart.”
Ying Yao activated the secret method of Tianji, and the strange-shaped sculpture in his hand emitted an invisible special wave, covering Gu Dan.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths.
There doesn't seem to be any special feeling.
Gu Dan opened his eyes.
However, what was before his eyes was no longer the Tianhe altar, but countless living beings.
His 'perspective' was pulled very high, and he didn't know how far it was from the ground.
Countless creatures are running on the ground, much smaller than ants and sand monsters, and not worth mentioning.
But when he looked downward, everything on the ground immediately became clear and close, and ordinary people, who were originally so small that they were not as good as ants and sand, became more real than ever before.
And those people were unaware of his gaze.
At this moment, he seemed to have endless vision.
After a brief fluctuation of his mind, his consciousness descended into a small courtyard.
There was a rhinoceros leaning against the wall. In front of it, there was a strange flower that was bright red like fire and its petals were as crystal clear as glass.
At this moment, he should have no sense of smell, but when his consciousness approached the flower, he clearly felt the refreshing fragrance lingering around him.
The sun chrysanthemum seemed to react as well, with its petals fluttering, its stamens blooming, and waves of faint fragrance wafting over the air.
The blue ox lying under the chrysanthemum in the scorching sun raised its head blankly, not knowing what was going on.
Gu Dan’s thoughts moved again.
In the blink of an eye, we arrived at the green hills.
The distance between the Gu family courtyard and the green mountains was more than ten thousand miles, but he arrived there in less than a blink of an eye, without feeling the slightest bit of fatigue.
At this moment, the Changsheng Sect's protective formation seemed like nothing to him and had no effect at all.
He can go and see whatever he wants.
As his mind wandered, he saw his three descendants.
They were still practicing, their aura became more solid and profound, and they had already reached the late stage of the Golden Core, sprinting towards the final perfection.
It has only been a dozen years. If I really rely on my own practice, it would certainly not be so fast.
After thinking it over, Gu Danran understood more clearly when he saw that there were only three big medicinal plants left in the green mountain.
In the medicine field, his consciousness met Shen Jiangyue.
Even a dignified Yuanying master seemed to be unaware of anything at this moment.
He just looked at the only three remaining medicinal herbs with a sad face, his hand on his cheek, and no one knew what he was thinking.
As soon as he moved his consciousness again, Gu Dan instantly appeared beside the Changsheng Sect's leader Lu Zhiming.
At this time, Lu Zhiming was sitting cross-legged in meditation, and Gu Dan watched him quietly for a few seconds.
Just as he was about to leave, Lu Zhiming suddenly opened his eyes, looked around suspiciously, and used all kinds of detection methods in a blink of an eye, but found nothing.
"strangeness."
Lu Zhiming frowned slightly. Why did he feel vaguely that he was being spied on? A cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage would not suddenly have an impulse. Since he had a premonition, it was a warning from his soul.
But nothing was found.
Either it was a real illusion, or the other party was far stronger than him.
As for the latter, I'm afraid it would take a God-Transforming Heavenly Lord to do it - there shouldn't be any God-Transforming Heavenly Lord who is so idle. Besides, at this moment in the Source Heaven Realm, no God-Transforming Heavenly Lord would be willing to approach.
That's probably just a real illusion.
It is reasonable to have illusions while practicing. After all, the next step after Nascent Soul is Spirit Transformation. As we all know, there is no 'template' for Spirit Transformation and one must do it on one's own. It is natural to have various thoughts from time to time and it will be fine once you wake up.
Gu Dan didn't stay with him for long. After all, it would be a big deal if the leader of the Changsheng Sect really caused some mental problems. He just wanted to try whether the late Nascent Soul stage could detect it.
I noticed it, but only a little bit.
This ability is indeed extraordinary. With just a thought, one can appear in any place one wants to be, yet one is invisible and traceless. Even a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage would be at a loss as no other magical power can be so hidden and powerful. This is not the power of a cultivator.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
But Gu Dan vaguely felt that something was missing.
Even though everything seems extremely clear, the most crucial thing is missing.
What should it be?
When his consciousness was a little distracted, his perspective suddenly changed unconsciously.
When he came to his senses, a familiar figure appeared in front of him, and it was a figure that Gu Dan had not expected.
The Holy Maiden of Hehuan, Luo Qingyin.
At this moment, Luo Qingyin was on top of a towering mountain, her perfect face, so exquisite that even Gu Dan, who had turned on the 'God's perspective', could not find any fault with it, was staring at the sea of clouds in a daze.
It was unusual that she didn't have any of the temperament of the Holy Maiden Hehuan. Even the Taoist spirit that she always displayed was gone. She looked at the sea of clouds quietly, not knowing what she was thinking.
Gu Dan had no intention of taking this opportunity to peek, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly heard a voice.
"who?"
Luo Qingyin stood up, with a majestic aura of Tao covering her body.
The voice was extremely confident. Even though she didn't see anyone, she was sure that someone was exploring the place.
Human consciousness may become hazy, but the Tao will not.
The joy and cheers that came from the majestic Dao aura could not be fake. There must be something pulling at the Dao aura in her.
Gu Dan was slightly surprised.
Even the leader of the Changsheng Sect, who was in the late Nascent Soul stage, thought it was just an illusion. Luo Qingyin had only been in the Nascent Soul stage not too long ago, but she could actually notice something?
It's really remarkable.
But he couldn't communicate with her.
There is no organ for 'voice production' at all.
He could only watch from this perspective, still from a bystander's perspective.
However, Luo Qingyin seemed to have her own way.
The invisible Tao essence was like a wave, and spread out in all directions like smoke.
Soon, Daoyun found his home by himself.
Just like water flows to lower places, even the Tao has its own rules.
Luo Qingyin's spiritual essence gradually began to fill up, and finally reflected a handsome man.
The man had an excellent appearance, like a banished immortal, and his aura was ethereal and invisible, as if he did not exist in this world at all.
Luo Qingyin was sure that she had never seen this person before.
That was Gu Dan's true appearance, not Kong Zhai's pinched face.
"Who are you?"
Luo Qingyin looked at Gu Dan with some curiosity, "Why have I never seen him before?"
Gu Dan looked at her without saying anything, just smiled.
"Do you know me?"
Luo Qingyin asked.
She had a vague feeling of familiarity with this person she had never met before. Even though the feeling was very faint, she would never remember it wrong.
But such a handsome man should have left a deep impression on people even if they had only met him once. How could it be possible that the impression was weak? Gu Dan did not answer her question.
Because a special pulling force has come.
The next moment, Gu Dan's consciousness suddenly returned to his body.
He really opened his eyes and saw a pair of small hands pinching his face.
The two looked at each other.
"Huh, you awake?"
Ying Yaoyao withdrew his hand calmly, looking serious.
".Um."
The corners of Gu Dan's mouth twitched and he nodded slightly.
"Are you afraid that the He Huan Sect will capture you, so you dare not reveal your true appearance?"
Ying Yao asked with a smile.
"It's just not necessary."
Gu Dan did not explain.
"Well, how do you feel about the Tianhe Altar? You have been sleeping for so long, so you should have gained a lot, right?"
Ying Yaoyao asked curiously.
"Long time?"
Gu Dan was puzzled. In his consciousness, everything seemed to happen in just a flash.
At most it would take less than a quarter of an hour.
"Of course it's been a long time! Five years. If you hadn't woken up, I would have thought you had died!"
Ying Yaoyao said with great certainty: "If you can gain enlightenment in five years, you will become an immortal right away, right? Tell me what you have gained."
Gu Dan simply recounted his feelings, without going into detail about the specific circumstances or who he had met. He finally said, "I feel like I'm missing something crucial. My consciousness is drifting and missing something."
"Hmm~"
Ying Yaoyao pondered silently for a while before saying, "Strange, in that state you seem to have obtained a part of the authority of heaven, but you can only watch?
Is it because you are only at the Golden Core stage and lack strength? Such incredible abilities can only be achieved by a Divine Transformation Heavenly Monarch! However, since the Heavenly Dao does not reject you, there should be no problem! "(End of this chapter)
