Chapter 385 The Nine Levels of the Physical Body
The letter that Danzong arrived at the holy land of the sages and began to repair the cracks in the holy land soon arrived in Shengjing.
This made all the major immortal sects feel a little relieved, and they felt fortunate that things went smoothly. They would just wait until the holy land was repaired before entering it to check why the luck had been lost.
At the same time, the Daoist Forum ended successfully two days later. At that time, all the immortal sects and aristocratic families began to pack their bags and planned to return.
The sun is shining brightly in early summer, but it is not too hot because of the cool north wind.
The young master of Lingjian Mountain sat upright on the carriage that was about to depart, with a cold and arrogant expression, as if he didn't love anyone. He only said goodbye to Yuan Caiwei.
The arrival of the Yuan siblings made the backyard of Wuyou Trading Company lively for a long time. The only thing that Ji You didn't expect was that when they were together, they could sleep together. When the two became three, he became completely alone...
Yan Shuyi even forbade him to enter the house for dinner, his expression full of vigilance, so that Ji You did not gain any advantage at all. He could only touch two pairs of feet at the same time when playing cards, and was often kicked by the colder pair.
So during the past two days, Yuanchen was the only one who was smiling happily. He went to the teahouse to listen to stories and spent time with his unwanted brother-in-law. He felt great.
"Brother-in-law, Sister Jianzhu has passed away, and we are about to set off for the holy land of the ancient sages. I don't know when we will see each other again."
"No need for next time, I'll take you there."
"real?"
"Although it's not far from Shengjing to the Holy Land of the Sages, you two don't have any cultivation, so it may not be safe. I have to see you arrive, and then find a suitable place to continue the journey."
As Ji You spoke, he waved to the sedan chair in front of him, but was given a cold and arrogant look by Yan Shuyi.
I’ll spank you next time we meet, Ji You muttered with narrowed eyes.
Yan Shu was also a powerful person in the Boundless Realm, so he could naturally hear this subtle sound. His eyes instantly became fierce, but behind that coldness, there was a hint of reluctance.
Afterwards, the disciples of the Immortal Sect set off, and the noble families also left the capital one after another. The carriage of the young Master Jian also flew away into the sky again.
Lingzhou is not close to Shengjing, and even though she had magic tools on her carriage, it still took three full days to get there.
At that time, the disciples of Lingjian Mountain were still shocked by the news reported from Shengjing. After verification by all parties, the authenticity of the news was confirmed, but there were still many people who did not understand.
Especially after so many years of subtle influence, many disciples of Lingjian Mountain thought that Jianzhu would marry the relatives of Wendao Sect, so they also had Taoist companions from Wendao Sect. This sudden change made them at a loss.
This is just as Ding Yao said back then. Once the Master Jian's in-laws are beyond everyone's imagination, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the disciples' hearts.
Is it possible for Ji You to marry into the family? What about Yuan Caiwei from Danzong?
If she didn't marry into the family, would the head of the family marry Lingjian and leave? What would her bloodline be, and would she be qualified to inherit the future of Lingjian Mountain?
The most crucial issue is that many disciples of Lingjian Mountain feel that if Lingjian Mountain can form an alliance with the Wending Sect, it will definitely become the most influential existence in Qingyun, but what can Ji You, a private cultivator in the countryside, do?
"That Ji You killed the Immortal Manor, reduced taxes, stopped supplying spirit stones, and secretly destroyed the thousand-year contract between Da Xia and the Immortal Sect. He was able to do this even though he was helpless. If he really tied up the big ship of our Lingjian Mountain, wouldn't he drag us Lingjian Mountain into becoming an enemy of the world?"
"He must have deceived the judge with his sweet words!"
"The judge is confused..."
The people of Tianjian Peak who had lost their mountaintop and were living on the plains also heard the news and were in a mood to watch a show.
As the spiritual symbol of Lingjian Mountain, he has to form a Taoist couple with a disciple of Tianshu Academy who comes from the countryside. If Jianzhu cannot properly resolve this matter, he will inevitably lose the support of the people amid criticism.
Because in the past, the disciples thought that whatever Master Jian did was right, but now many people have begun to think that she is wrong.
There are also those noble families that are attached to Lingjian Mountain. After knowing this, they will definitely worry whether Yan Shuyi will help Ji You to completely eliminate Shui Feng. This will definitely cause a rift between them and Xuanjian Peak. There is no doubt about it.
Instead of choosing Shang Xiyao, who will hold the sacred weapon in the future, he chose a disciple of Tianshu Academy who came from the countryside. This made Tianjian Peak feel like he was at home and had received joy from heaven.
Confused and questioning, the young master returned to the mountain facing such gazes. Without saying a word, he walked along the mountain road towards Xuanjian Peak.
At this time, on Xuanjian Peak, Yan Jingxiang was standing by the mountain path with his wife and immediate relatives, watching his daughter return with a gloomy expression.
He naturally knew that Ji You was very talented, but no matter how talented she was, how could she compare with Shang Xiyao, who would hold a sacred weapon and control an immortal sect in the future? Even a three-year-old child could figure this out. He didn't understand why his daughter had fallen into such a trap.
However, facing such questioning eyes, Yan Shuyi did not explain, but raised his eyes gently and walked towards the Yunding Tianque step by step.
She didn't want to be the appraiser back then, but countless people asked her to be the appraiser. As an appraiser, the first thing she learned was that she didn't need to explain her feelings to others.
But when she reached the top of the mountain and looked at the palace where she had lived for twenty years, she felt a little confused.
Because she didn't know when she would be able to take off this heavy burden, no longer have to worry about her decision affecting others, and go to the small village in Fengzhou to live the life she liked.
Qingyun instantly quieted down after the discussion meeting ended, but the impact of what happened at the meeting did not stop.
Especially regarding the incident that Danzong was once besieged, countless people went back home and began to retreat and break through the realm.
Because the events of Danzong taught them a very simple but fatal truth, that is, weakness is the original sin.
In addition, the direct disciples of Shanhai Pavilion, Wendao Sect and Chen Immortal Clan also announced their seclusion one after another, and claimed that they would not come out until they took control of the sacred weapon.
Although they did not tell the outside world the reason for their urgent retreat, many people knew that they might have been stimulated.
He was stimulated by the two fingers that pierced his chest, by the gaze of the young master, and by the majestic image that forever suppressed the mountains.
However, a few things happened during this period that attracted some attention.
First, the disciples of Shanhai Pavilion went to Xuanyuan Immortal Mansion to pay homage to the mountain and stayed there for half a month.
For thousands of years, the Southern Immortal Sect and the Northern Immortal Sect have always been very close. This is the first time that a Southern Immortal Sect has taken the initiative to visit the Northern Immortal Sect to pay homage.
Some people say that the incident between the Little Master Jian of Lingjian Mountain and Ji You disrupted the existing structure of the Southern Immortal Sect, which led to the Shanhai Pavilion having many ideas.
Some people also said that Huo Xingzhong, the direct descendant of Shanhai Pavilion, wanted to marry into the Chen family of immortals, and this visit to the mountain was just to send a signal.
In addition, the autumn competition among the major immortal sects began earlier than before.
The thousand-year-old aristocratic families joined forces to commit disasters, causing countless killings, so that the strength of the immortal sect was greatly damaged. This year, the immortal gate was opened to the public, and the number of places to enter the inner courtyard was increased from one to five.
Of course, greater opportunities lead to more intense competition, so this autumn fight has become quite interesting, and several highly-anticipated young prodigies have gradually come into everyone's sight.
There were also ordinary people who were admitted to the academy because of their military merits and later surpassed them and achieved outstanding results.
Taking advantage of the atmosphere of the Autumn Fight, the elders of each sect are also recruiting disciples to serve them, and even some elders from other sects who are not from the immortal sect have begun to recruit second and third disciples.
This is actually to accumulate strength for the family he belongs to. In principle, it is not allowed by the Immortal Sect, but because everyone does it, no one deliberately holds it against him.
In addition to these two things, the human race also sent an envoy to Yunzhou again as previously planned, and even brought a large number of gifts.
In the eyes of Sixianjian, even if they still cannot enter the city this time, it is still better to accept the things.
Because the barbarians are also suspicious, and if they want to disintegrate the barbarian-monster alliance, arousing this suspicion is the best thing to do.
However, what was unexpected was that the demon tribe not only accepted the gifts from the human race, but also actually opened the city gates to receive the human delegation, which was unexpected.
However, even the people of Qingzhou had no way of knowing what happened after the human delegation entered Yunzhou.
There is another thing, although not many people are talking about it, but there are actually quite a few people paying attention to it, that is, it disappeared.
After the discussion ended, someone saw him seeing the Yuan siblings off, and he was never seen again.
At the same time, 120 disciples of Tianshu Academy, led by Yu Shiliu and Gu Zetao, were heading towards the border of Zhongzhou.
Ever since Danzong went to Zhongzhou to repair the holy land, the five major immortal sects would send a group of disciples to Zhongzhou every once in a while to protect the people of Danzong and keep a close eye on the restoration of the holy land of the sages.
The first group of people sent by Tianshu Academy were Wang Gaocen and his group, while Yu Shiliu and others were sent to replace them.
After two days and one night of travel, the disciples of Tianshuyuan arrived at the holy land of the sages. They saw Wang Gaocen and the others off, and then listened to the report from Danzong together with the disciples of the other four sects.
According to Dan Xunzi, those tiny cracks were repaired quite smoothly, and the space farther away from the core has become stable.
However, the large cracks within the core are extremely difficult to repair and require some time and effort.
"Why can't we repair the biggest cracks first?"
"Space cracks can't be repaired casually. We made this choice because we discovered that as the crack heals, the surrounding area will experience a period of instability lasting up to half a month. The larger the crack, the more severe this instability becomes, so we can only repair the smaller ones first."
The disciples of the five major immortal sects did not understand the underlying principles and could only report to their superiors according to Yuan Li's words word for word.
Just as they were writing the message, a scorching breath roared from the foot of the East Mountain not far from the core, shaking the mountains.
The disciples of the Wendao Sect and the Shanhai Pavilion turned their heads to glance at Dongshan, then withdrew their gazes as if they were already used to it. Only Yu Shiliu and Wang Gaocen could not help but open their eyes wide.
"This air wave...seems familiar."
"It's Ji You. He's using the spiritual energy overflowing from the Holy Land of the Ancient Sages to break through."
"No wonder he never returned to Tianshuyuan. It turns out he's here..."
The cracks in the holy land of the sages not only released luck, but also released extremely pure spiritual energy, which gradually became thicker as time went by.
When Ji You escorted Danzong siblings here, he immediately discovered this matter, so he began to close the gate for a long time and continued to break through the border.
The world of Qingyun seems to be stable again, but in fact, the turmoil in secret has always been there. The internal and external troubles have only been temporarily extinguished, but have not ended.
Moreover, his goal of destroying the tax system has not yet been achieved, so naturally he needs a higher level as a foundation.
And most importantly, the spiritual energy here is free...
At that time, in the cave under the East Mountain, the heat wave caused by the burning body covered the entire mountain forest, so much so that the birds and beasts were scared away, and the wind continued to blow all night long.
In the early morning of the next day, Ji You walked out of a cave. His clothes were already soaked with sweat, and he was panting. He sat down weakly on the ground after walking a few steps.
His body has no limits. He has now reached the ninth level, and the process of breaking through the level has almost drained all his strength, so that even he cannot suppress the surging blood and energy in his body. The whole mountain and field are buzzing with sounds like the roar of a tiger and a dragon.
The free spiritual energy is cultivated quickly...
He clenched his fists, felt the rush of energy, and punched forward.
A huge wave of wind and sand was generated from his fist, which stirred up a vast wave of flying sand and soil. With the explosion of air, it rushed towards the mountains and forests in front of him, causing countless ancient trees to tremble violently.
At this moment, Yuan Caiwei came jogging with Yuan Chen. When they stopped, a hint of fear flashed in their eyes.
"Young Master, did you succeed in breaking through the realm?"
“It worked.”
Ji You responded with one sentence and looked at his fist.
According to the realm of enlightenment, after the ninth level of the Boundless Realm is broken, it should be the Divine Wandering Realm, but the problem is that the Divine Wandering Realm refers to the intersection of the soul and the way of heaven.
This is a term that is exclusive to the practice of enlightenment, and it is paradoxical to the practice of the physical body.
People say that an overly strong physical body will restrict the communication between the mind and the heaven and earth. So, can the practice method that focuses on body training continue?
Ji You was not sure whether there would be another level in physical cultivation if he continued to break through.
At this time, Yuan Caiwei took out a jade bottle from her sleeve, poured out a few qi-replenishing pills, and fed them into Ji You's mouth.
As he swallowed the pill, infinite medicinal power began to rush wildly through his body, nourishing his limbs and bones before rushing into his dantian with a buzzing sound.
Ji You let out a long sigh and looked up at Yuan Caiwei: "How is the restoration of the holy land going?"
"The small cracks have basically been repaired, but the larger ones still show signs of recurring cracking. I'm afraid it will take longer. But fortunately, apart from spiritual energy, nothing else is leaking out."
"So soon, how many days have I been in seclusion?"
"It's calculated on a monthly basis..."
Ji You was stunned for a moment, thinking that this was really the unknown Fang Yue in the cave.
Seeing his dazed look, Yuan Caiwei pulled out a stack of letters from her bosom. "During the time that Master was in seclusion, there were quite a few messages from outside, and I kept them all. Sister Jianzhu also sent a letter."
"Tsundere?" Ji You came back to his senses, took the letter and opened it one by one to check.
The letters from Fengzhou were all sent by Qiu Zhong, probably talking about preparations for the autumn harvest.
Then there were two letters from Kuang Cheng, one saying that the house was being repaired, and the other saying that he had received a mission to follow the delegation to Yunzhou.
In the letter about his diplomatic mission, Kuang Cheng specifically asked him if he had any message for his old friend.
Pooh!
The story between him and Feng Yang was a fabrication by Gongshu Chou. Kuang Shusheng couldn't even hold his own big fat boy, but he was still worrying about his own backyard all day long. It was really unheard of.
Ji You cursed, but at the same time he was a little worried.
This silly scholar should not really believe Gongshu Chou's fabrication. If he continues to talk nonsense, he will be beheaded by the demon tribe and that will be the end of him.
In addition to Kuang Cheng, Instructor Cao, Senior Sister Wen, Senior Brother Ban and the Lu sisters all wrote letters one after another, telling them about their progress in cultivation and various matters at Tianshu Academy.
The last piece was the letters from the tsundere ghost, which were basically filled with stick figure drawings of men stabbing dogs to death with a sword. There were more than a dozen of them, and the time intervals between them were getting shorter and shorter.
It seems that this girl can't hold back her longing for him since she made their relationship public.
"Brother-in-law, you still need to continue your retreat."
"What's wrong?"
Yuan Chen frowned and grumbled, "Repairing the Holy Land is so boring. I feel like every day is a year..."
After hearing this, Ji You patted his head and said, "I won't be in seclusion for the time being. I'll play with you for a while and think about the next realm."
"Very good!"
"Let's go to your temporary residence first. I need to take a shower first."
Ji You got up from the ground, then suddenly thought of something. He took out the letter from Kuang Cheng again and looked at the date of signature.
He was busy reading the letter just now and didn't pay attention to the time. When he read it again, he realized that the letter was written more than a month ago.
It has been more than a month. If he returns safely, he should write another letter to me. Could it be that he really got beheaded for making up stories?
