Longevity begins with slaying demons and eliminating demons

Chapter 399 The True Ninth Realm

"Return to the market." Gu Xu said the word silently in his heart.

In all the Dahuang practice books he had read, this word had never appeared before.

But when he heard it for a moment, he felt that it seemed to have a mysterious Taoist rhyme, which instantly pushed away some clouds and mists in his heart, and glimpsed some truths of the world.

"Is this what the Upper Realm said?" He asked Qi Ling.

"Well," Qi Ling replied, "the upper realm has 'Yujing', and the lower realm has 'Guixu'. Yujing is the apex of all things, and Guixu is the destination of all things.

"Whether you climb the 'Yujing' or step into the 'Guixu', you can reach the end of the avenue."

"You mean," Gu Xu frowned slightly, "'Guixu' is not only a place name, but also a realm of cultivation?"

"As the emperor's heir, you don't know this?" Qi Ling opened his eyes wide and looked at him in surprise.

Gu Xu shrugged and replied: "In our practice system, the highest state is called 'climbing to the immortal way', as long as you survive the catastrophe, you can ascend to the upper realm and become an immortal immortal.

"Of course, you should know that this is a hoax."

"Hehe, it's indeed a scam," Qi Ling said with a chuckle, "That fellow 'Taishang Haotian' even made up a lie so badly that it wouldn't stand up to scrutiny.

"The upper realm and the lower realm are originally two equal worlds. There is no distinction between high and low, so how can there be such a thing as ascension?"

"Parallel world?"

"In the cultivation system of the upper realm, there are a total of nine realms," Qi Ling touched his chin, and introduced to Gu Xu, "their names are 'Yan Huo', 'Ruoshui River', and 'Kunlun Hill' respectively. , 'Langfeng Peak', 'Xuanpu Garden', 'Tianyong City', 'Qionghua Palace', 'Jiuxiaojie' and 'Yujing'.

"The nine realms of the lower realm are called 'Ghost Gate Pass', 'Ruoshui River', 'Naihe Bridge', 'Wangxiang Terrace', 'Meng Po Pavilion', 'Fengdu Gate', 'Yan Luo Palace', 'Nine Serenity Prison', 'Return to the Market'.

"The names of these realms are different, and the real essence is different, but they are essentially the same, and the strengths can be matched one by one.

"Only one person in each world can achieve the highest realms like 'Yujing' and 'Guixu'. Once they are cultivated, it is equivalent to becoming the master of the world, who can formulate the rules of the world and manipulate the world as they like. cause and effect."

The realm of "Returning to the Ruins" does sound much more reasonable than "Climbing to the Immortal Way".

Gu Xu thought silently.

The monks in the upper realm climbed up step by step along the Kunlun Sky Stairs, and the monks in the lower realm gradually descended toward the underworld along the road to the underworld.

As far as the capital of the emperor of heaven, the source of all changes in the universe.

Down to the bottomless valley, where the waters gather.

Before he knew it, a flash of light flashed in his mind, and he vaguely guessed something: "'Taishang Haotian' and 'Ziwei Great Emperor' parted ways and turned against each other back then, was it for the purpose of cultivating this unique supreme realm?"

"You're so smart, you're worthy of being my master!" Qi Ling complimented hypocritically, and then continued, "You should know that the eighth realm is a very special realm, because it is divided into nine small realms—— There are "nine heavens" in the realm, and "nine hells" in the lower realm.

"Back then, both 'Taishang Haotian' and 'Ziwei Great Emperor' had reached the ninth level of the 'Nine Heavens Realm', and they were only one step away from stepping into the 'Yujing'.

"But because only one person can cultivate the 'Yujing' realm.

"So they reached an agreement to find a new world, so that both of them have the opportunity to be promoted.

"They traveled through the void and found the 'Underworld', which is the great wilderness where you are.

"You may have guessed by now that the key to advancing to the realm of 'Yujing' lies in the power of incense—after all, water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. If you want to rule the rules of a world, you need to obtain the power of life in this world. Acknowledgment from the heart.

"At that time, 'Taishang Haotian' suddenly discovered that if he could obtain the power of incense from two worlds, then after he entered the realm of 'Yujing', he would be stronger than the power of incense from only one world.

"So he chose to betray the agreement with 'Emperor Ziwei'.

"You should already know what happened next."

Gu Xu nodded.

"Then do you know that 'Taishang Haotian' has now entered the Yujing realm?" After a brief silence, he asked again.

"I don't think so," Qi Ling thought for a moment, then replied, "'Taishang Haotian' has always pursued perfection. Before taking the incense of the entire Great Wilderness into his own hands, he should not easily try to break through."

Having said that, he paused, stared into Gu Xu's eyes and asked, "Do you know what your chances of winning against him are?"

"Where?"

"You have to use the incense of the Great Wilderness to reach the realm of 'Return to the Market' before 'Tai Shang Hao Tian' ascends to 'Yu Jing'." Qi Ling spoke slowly and seriously.

"'Taishang Haotian' has spent thousands of years, but failed to advance to the 'Yujing' realm," Gu Xu frowned and said, "I have only practiced for about a year, do you think I will break through the realm better than him?" faster?"

"You are not an ordinary fourth-level monk," Qi Ling said with a smile, "You have the foundation left to you by 'Emperor Ziwei'.

"'Taishang Haotian' has spent a lot of effort, but it can't completely erase the traces of the existence of 'Ziwei Great Emperor', so we can only make up a god of 'one body and two sides' to seize the incense of 'Ziwei Great Emperor' .

"Besides, you are still the 'God of Fire' in the eyes of the people of Youzhou.

"Looking at the entire Great Desolation, no one is more qualified than you to enter the 'Return to the Ruins' realm."

Gu Xu shook his head lightly.

Now he not only has to prepare to deal with Emperor Tianxing, but also has to break through the situation quickly to deal with "Taishang Haotian".

He just felt a lot of pressure.

"Then do you know why I got the authority of 'Vulcan'?" He thought for a while, then asked again, "Is it because of the 'Reward' rune I once obtained?"

"You made it yourself, how do I know?" Qi Ling spread his hands, "You ask me, who should I ask?"

At this time, the boat was very close to the waterfall.

Its small half hangs in the air.

Looking down, it is the steaming water vapor and the deep and dark abyss that cannot be seen at a glance.

Gu Xu took a deep breath.

He did not choose to fall with the boat, but embraced the astrolabe and jumped.

Logically speaking, as a monk in the fourth realm, he has the ability to fly the imperial weapon, and can control the speed, and slowly fall along the waterfall without worrying about falling to pieces.

But strangely, his ability to fly was completely disabled.

The valley below seemed to have an inexplicable gravitational force, pulling him down at an ever-increasing speed.

He tried the "Wind Travel Talisman" and the "Astrolabe" for short-distance teleportation, but he couldn't get rid of the free fall situation.

At this time, I saw Qi Ling standing on the "star plate" facing the whirling wind, chanting the words recorded in ancient books: "'Return to the Market' is also a bottomless valley. Water, like the flow of heaven and Han, pours into it without increasing or decreasing.

"You have to know that the reason why you fall is not because of gravity, but because of the law, because it is the 'effect of all causes', the 'place where all things return to one', and the destination that all living beings must reach.

"Comprehend the profound meaning of the Dao here, master. This is very important for your future advancement."
