Taoist Master of Fantasy World

Chapter 44 Five General Senses Part Two
The most important 49 days on the road?
The 12 people, including Xu Zhenyun, were perked up by these words, and they all pricked up their ears to listen.

But at this moment, a silvery light loomed between Mu Xiuxin's eyebrows.

Mu Xiuxin turned around and said to Zhao Jingting: "If Xiuxin can get the opportunity to enter the Taoist First Lecture after the national election this year, she still has to thank Zhao. Xiuxin owes Zhao a favor."

Zhao Jingting waved his strong left arm, shook his head and said: "If the master comes forward, who can compete with you? Zhao is just following the trend."

"Actually, the huge gains from this first lecture on Taoism should have been shouldered by emerging talents like you, Xiu Xin, to build on the past and achieve two goals with one stone. In the past, it was not a good idea to pursue stability as per the old practice."

The corner of Mu Xiuxin's mouth moved slightly, and she smiled back, but her voice remained cold and calm: "It has only been half a year since Xiuxin broke through. It is human nature for everyone in the Xinyi Mountain to have objections."

The two actually started talking among themselves.

Xu Zhenyun considered it carefully.

From the conversation, it can be known that Mu Xiuxin was distracted by more than [-] people. She individually taught the disciples who entered the Tao this year to achieve enlightenment and "customized" the exercises one by one. It seemed to be of great benefit to her.

But he was still more concerned about what Mr. Zhao said was "the most important 49 days on the road."

After rambling a few words, Mu Xiuxin said: "Zhao is in charge here, so naturally everything is under control. After Xiuxin realized what he had learned, he left first."

Zhao Jingting nodded and said, "Easy to say, I'll send you off at a short distance."

Mu Xiuxin used the parallel fingers of her right hand to form a sword, and immediately transformed into a rainbow of light, turning into a seven-color brilliance that was almost flat and two-dimensional.

Zhao Jingting looked at the expectant eyes of the 12 people in front of him and was very satisfied; he stretched out his hand again, and a very large brown rocking chair suddenly appeared in front of him.

Chief Zhao sat on it and swayed slightly, looking very comfortable.

Xu Zhenyun maliciously speculated in his heart, is this Chief Zhao deliberately trying to titillate people?

After the swaying rhythm stabilized, Zhao Yuting smiled and said, "You might as well take a guess - how old is Mu Xiuxin, the deputy chairperson of the Demon Suppression Department just now?"

Except for Xiang Tianwen, who only wore his ears and covered his eyes to pretend to be autistic, everyone else's eyes lit up!
Although Zhao Shouzuo's words did not directly answer the "most important 49 days" that everyone was most looking forward to, it inexplicably aroused everyone's gossip.

After looking around and whetting his appetite for a while, Zhao Jingting said calmly: "Mu Xiuxin is 37 years old this year. She was promoted to the first level six months ago and took over as the deputy seat of the Demon Suppression Department."

Xu Zhenyun was shocked.

What’s surprising is not the age; it’s the cultivation level!
Just talking about Mu Xiuxin's age, Xu Zhenyun actually had a vague intuition that she was not very old, and she was definitely not an old monster pretending to be young.

Xu Zhenyun originally believed that Mu Xiuxin, like Ji Xiaohua, should belong to the top ranks of the new generation of the Jin Dynasty.

Therefore, Xu Zhenyun also estimated that her cultivation level might be around the fourth level; considering the aura of the position of "Deputy of the Demon Suppression Department", maybe one level higher, maybe the third level?
I didn’t expect it to be a first-class product!
The monastic system of Xinyuan Continent is a bit fierce...

Zhao Jingting crossed his fingers and recalled on his face: "Twenty years ago, I was still the person to preside over the Taoist initiation ceremony after the national election; that year, among the new Taoist disciples, there was Mu Xiuxin."

"She was very shy at the time and stood quietly downstairs listening to the lecture."

"Today... you also saw it. She is already able to compete with me and talk and laugh happily."

He is not a person like the Supervisor of the Divine Capital who is taught in a hundred days and practices in advance; he entered Taoism at the age of 17 and reached the first-level realm in 20 years...

Even though Xu Zhenyun already knew that the Supervisor of the City of Gods had cultivated to the fourth level at the age of 16, he was still very shocked at this moment!
Zhao Jingting stretched out his hand and motioned for the young men to come closer.

So 12 people each stepped forward to form a semicircle, surrounding Zhao Jingting who was sitting on the rocking chair.

It looks like the children at the head of the village are listening to the story told by the knowledgeable old man in the village.

Of course, the "child" is a little older.

Zhao Jingting said: "At the Pengcheng Banquet, you met Dean Fang Chen, the head of the six courtyards. At this moment, I am personally in charge.

Why?The way to join the world is as fast as thunder. Twenty years after An Zhiyi, will a character like Mu Xiuxin reappear among you? "

Zhao Jingting's tone was neither slow nor fast; but when the young people heard it, their hearts surged inexplicably.Even Xu Zhenyun, who was used to brainwashing and pyramid schemes, felt that his breathing was getting heavier, and he was clearly affected!

But Zhao Weiting changed the topic and continued: "Of course, there are many people in history who have outstanding potential but ultimately failed to meet expectations."

"There is a crossroads ahead, the difference between high and low. The most critical thing is the 49 days after the ninth level."

“A thin line is a thousand miles away.”

Finally, a question!
Xu Zhenyun felt as if he had caught something; but he didn't catch it completely.

Zhao Yuting's next words once again had a shocking effect: "After 49 days, all of you will be at the eighth level."

"Although you all have extraordinary qualifications, the chance of capsizing is low; if nothing unexpected happens, the result will not be too bad. But there is a huge difference between 'okay', 'very good' and 'excellent'."

Xu Zhenyun was shocked!

I just broke through to the ninth level, will I be promoted to the eighth level in 49 days?

Is this the Seto-ryu monastic path of Xinyuan Continent?Zhao Yuting put away his emotion and said in a "formal preaching" tone:

"When you complete the crystal granting ceremony in Tianyuan Temple, you should have come into contact with one of the 'five knowledges' of Dao Xuanjing: the law of operation is constant, and the number of trends is constant. The total number of Dao Xuanjing in the world is fixed, as The raft that crosses the river rotates in the body of the ascetics of all ages, neither increasing nor decreasing."

"In the 'First Lecture on Entering the Dao' just now, Deputy Xiu Xin has already told you about the function of Dao Xuanjing in 'protecting the Dao' and the theory of the 'Sixth Rank'."

These two pieces of knowledge I just learned in the "First Lecture on Becoming a Taoist"...

Xu Zhenyun said silently in his heart.

Zhao Yuting stood up from the rocking chair and said in a loud voice:

"What I want to tell you is the second part of the 'Five Universal Consciousnesses' - beyond the six dharmas of returning to heaven, errors and mistakes will increase with the situation, and one situation will be fixed for half a life."

Zhao Jingting directly explained with an example: "Suppose there is a person who reaches the level of 'confirmation' when he is promoted from the ninth level to the eighth level, which consumes seven Dao Xuan Crystals."

"So in the future, if the eighth grade is promoted to the seventh grade, because this person is diligent in cultivating the Tao and has perfected his skills, is it possible to reach the knowing level and the thorough level, consuming only five or three Dao Xuan Crystals?"

Li Changqing, Shen Lianxin and others looked puzzled. Isn't this natural?

Zhao Weiting looked around at everyone, and his heavy voice struck everyone's hearts: "The answer is no."

"As long as the single consumption of Dao Xuan Crystal reaches more than one, it will leave a clear mark of flaws on your journey of cultivation. Even if your cultivation in the next realm is perfect, the overall evaluation will not be perfect. Every time you advance to a realm , the Dao Xuanjing consumed by breaking through the realm will definitely only increase but not decrease, and will not be lower than the consumption value of the last time breaking through the realm."

"So, if a person breaks through the realm for the first time and consumes seven Dao Xuan Crystals, then even if he reaches the flawless realm in the next realm, there will be no additional consumption; the number of Dao Xuan Crystals he consumes will be at least seven. .”

"This is called 'mistakes increase with circumstances, and one situation determines half a life.'"

When Xu Zhenyun and others heard this, their hearts surged with excitement!

According to this theory, advancing from the ninth level to the eighth level is the most important step in a monk's entire path.

"The most important thing in life" is not an alarmist statement.

Lu Shuwen said doubtfully: "Before the First Lord's words, there is another premise, the 'Six Laws of Returning to Heaven'. Does this 'Six Laws of Returning to Heaven' mean that one can change one's fate against the will of heaven, return to the hidden dangers of the previous realm, and recalculate the consumption? Wonderful method?"

Zhao Jingting glanced at Lu Shuwen, nodded and said: "Very smart, that's what I mean. But since it is called 'Huitian', it can be imagined that it is difficult and harsh. Even with the strength of Dajin, if you want to realize the six methods of Huitian for someone, This method is also as difficult as climbing to the sky."

"More than that. The number of mysterious crystals consumed for the first time breaking through the realm also has an anchoring effect. It will produce unique insights and experiences for practice. It will invisibly lay a foundation and have a profound impact on the follow-up."

"It's unlikely that the previous state was 'flawless' or 'subtle'; the next state suddenly drops to 'confirmed' or even 'skilled'."

Zhao Jingting concluded: "Although the promotion of the ninth grade to the eighth grade is the first step after entering the Taoism, it is definitely the most important step in determining a person's path to the Taoism."

When Xu Zhenyun heard this, he felt extremely stressed; the other disciples exchanged glances with each other, and their moods were similar to Xu Zhenyun's.

Waiting for the twelve disciples to fully digest the knowledge, Zhao Weiting continued:
"Every year, the disciples who join the Taoism will be divided into four levels."

"The first class is limited to the best 12 people, who are independently selected."

"The second class is those who, besides these 12 people, have successfully entered the Star Ruins Secret Realm and attended the Pengcheng Banquet."

"The third level is to select one-tenth of the outstanding candidates from the remaining ordinary national elections."

"The fourth grade is what's left in the end."

Xu Zhenyun understood that these 12 people were of course the first class.

Zhao Jingting smiled and said: "The 'Nine Sheng Eight' of the first 12 people is so heavy that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the foundation and cornerstone of the Dajin Taoism. Of course it must be controlled by someone who can control it."

"But even if they are all the first-class 12 people, there will always be ups and downs over the years. According to the quality, there will be three grades: big year, average year, and small year. The three grades are ranked in order by one of the three leaders, The dean of Jingjinyuan and a senior elder in Xinyi Mountain will preside over and guide you through the situation."

Li Changqing's eyes lit up and he said: "Master Zhao, you are here in person. Does this mean that this year is the New Year?"

Zhao Jingting nodded and said: "This year's national election is the fourth 'big year' in the past 50 years."

Another disciple asked: "Then why does it have to be 49 days to advance from the ninth grade to the eighth grade?"

An implicit smile suddenly appeared on Zhao Jingting's face, and he said: "Zhao is only in charge; there is someone else who will give you specific guidance on your practice on the 49th. Of course, your real teacher will explain this to you. .”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Weiting applauded lightly.

Xu Zhenyun suddenly turned his head and found that four huge whirlpools suddenly appeared in the lake outside the "Tingxiang Pavilion"; then four people slowly emerged.

Xu Zhenyun looked strange when he saw it.

Among the four people, two are actually acquaintances!
