The Tao comes to all heavens: from the beginning of the Wilderness Period

Chapter 46: Those who appreciate the way of heaven

Zhang Hengruo felt something and glanced up high. He saw a Taoist standing on a boat thousands of feet above with his back to him, surrounded by fairy mist and floating spiritual clouds.It's just that he can clearly see the other person, but he can't sense his existence.

Just when he was hesitating, his eyes suddenly blurred, and his whole body was lifted up by an invisible force, and he was on the upper ark in an instant, only a few feet away from the Taoist.

"Aren't you manipulating tricks in the Dongyuan Tower just to become my disciple? Now in front of me, why don't you come forward to become my disciple?" The Taoist turned around slowly and spoke in a voice as loud as a mountain.

Zhang Heng was shocked and immediately realized the identity of the person in front of him.

If the founder of the established sect, Cangji Celestial Immortal, was the one who laid the foundation of the sect, then the Baiwei Immortal in front of him was the one who raised the prestige of Cangji Sect to unprecedented heights.Although Cangji Sect also has an ancestor named Jin Feng, a heavenly immortal, for many of the top forces in the Great Xia Dynasty, its intimidating power is far inferior to Immortal Bai Wei, a loose immortal who defies the heavens.

Since Immortal Baiwei became famous in the Daxia world, countless nobles from top tribes and even disciples of the Daxia royal family came to Cangji Sect with the intention of becoming a disciple but failed. But today he actually offered to accept a disciple.

Zhang Heng did not hesitate and immediately kowtowed to become his master.Immortal Baiwei stood where he was. After receiving his three bows, he waved his sleeves and helped him up.

After standing up, Zhang Heng took a serious look at the master he worshiped.When he heard the voice of Immortal Baiwei just now, he felt that the other person seemed to be a kind old Taoist priest.

It was only when we got closer that we discovered that he was a young Taoist priest in his thirties. He had a handsome appearance, divine light in his eyes, and a clear air on his brows, but he had a wild look, not at all like someone who was about to be reincarnated. Immortal.

Immortal Baiwei looked at Zhang Heng and said casually: "Since you have become a disciple, come back to your home with me."

As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them suddenly disappeared into the air together with the boat under their feet.

After a few breaths, several immortals appeared and gathered here. One of them, an old woman holding a bamboo staff, said helplessly: "It seems that Patriarch Bai Wei won't let us see."

"The Patriarch's profound understanding of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is probably not matched by many of the Heavenly Immortal Ancestors. He walked so neatly and didn't give us a chance to meet him at all."

These immortals are all powerful loose immortals who have lived for hundreds of thousands of years. After receiving the message from the Molten Immortal, they rushed over quickly.

The headmaster, Yucheng Immortal, said expressionlessly: "Master Bai Wei accepts a disciple. This is a serious matter. Please don't leak the news in the short term. When Zhang Heng has achieved success in cultivation in a few years and has enough power to protect himself, it won't matter." ."

When the other immortals heard what he said, they showed a hint of awe.

……

In the Immortal Mansion of Immortal Baiwei, Zhang Heng arrived here instantly as ripples rippled in the air.

This fairy mansion is a wonderful land and water land of its own. The clouds and mountains are like ink-dyed colors, and the layout is quite like the free and uninhibited atmosphere of a fairy family.There may be some followers or servants of Mei Ji in the caves of other immortals, but this place is empty and silent, not even a palace or pavilion is seen.

Immortal Baiwei walked away, and Zhang Heng followed him and followed him to a cliff.But I saw a green old pine rooted in the solid rock, and there was a simple thatched cottage under the tree.

After entering the thatched cottage, Immortal Baiwei sat down directly on one of the big rocks, while Zhang Heng stood respectfully aside.He could see that Immortal Baiwei was a very free and easy-going person.

"I noticed it when you broke into the Dongyuan Tower." Immortal Baiwei smiled and said, "You are good at swordsmanship. You should have already understood the Transparent Sword Heart. Let me ask you, do you know the art of swordsmanship?"

Zhang Heng thought for a moment and replied: "A person who practices swordsmanship can only be called a swordsman if his sword heart is clear, and this is when he has entered the door of swordsmanship."

Immortal Baiwei nodded: "There are countless ways in the world, and the ways are also divided into high and low."

Zhang Heng immediately listened carefully.

Immortal Baiwei continued: "The Tao that exists between heaven and earth is divided into the supreme 'Heavenly Tao', the extremely noble 'Dao', and numerous ordinary 'Taos'."

"The way of heaven, the great road, the ordinary way?"

Although Zhang Heng had some guesses when he was practicing and enlightening in the past, he was not sure. Now after hearing this explanation, he felt that many doubts were vaguely answered.

"The Way of Flowing Water, the Way of Thick Earth and other ways that you have comprehended are just very common and ordinary ways in the movement of heaven and earth. The Way of the Sword is one of the great ways. Just getting started is better than ordinary ways. The realm is much more difficult, so naturally its power is much stronger."

"Most of the true disciples in the sect who have practiced for a long time can easily understand several realms of Tao, but those who can get started in Tao practice are relatively rare. I heard that the chief disciple of this generation is You have made great achievements on the Tai Chi Dao. If you devote yourself to cultivation in the future, you should first aim to surpass this person."

Zhang Heng was slightly shocked: "No wonder Senior Brother Xuanyu has such a special status. It turns out that he has made great achievements in Taoist cultivation."

Immortal Bai Wei glanced at him, with a smile on his lips.Although he said it extremely solemnly, the most important thing in accepting this disciple was his aptitude for enlightenment and his Taoist heart.It should be noted that there have been many sword immortals in the history of the sect. Except for a few who are close to the realm of heavenly immortals, most of them are difficult for him to see.

"As a swordsman, it is naturally a good thing to show your sharpness, but when practicing, remember not to rush forward."

Immortal Baiwei warned: "The Dao is difficult. Even if I have mastered ten complete Dao so far, I am still far away from fully understanding the Dao. Give me a few million years and I will probably not be able to do it."

"It is said that Master Bai Wei is good at a secret technique of the Five Elements. It seems likely that he has a profound understanding of every direction of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth."

Zhang Heng was filled with reverence and asked curiously: "May I ask Master, what is the 'Way of Heaven'?"

"The Supreme Way of Heaven is the fundamental way to maintain the movement of heaven and earth. It is beyond our ability to understand." Immortal Baiwei's eyes were extremely calm. "You also made an oath to the Way of Heaven when you entered the school. That is to pledge your support to the Way of Heaven itself. Swear. If there is any violation, even the Heavenly Immortal or even the Pure Yang True Immortal will not be able to avoid the punishment."

Seeing that Zhang Heng seemed to be asking, he explained: "The Pure Yang True Immortal is a being that surpasses the Heavenly Immortal. At the very least, he has understood a complete path. The Emperor of Daxia is a True Immortal."

"And further up, as long as you can understand the way of heaven, you will be the supreme being in the entire three realms, named Daluo Daozu. The Chiming Nine Heavens Diagram you practiced was passed down by a Taoist ancestor, and it is even more respected as the first Daozu. One god and demon body refining method." "Cangji Tianxian, the founder of our Cangji Sect, was once fortunate enough to be the registered disciple of this Taoist ancestor. The Qiankun Pillar, the treasure of the sect, was given by the Taoist ancestor."

Hearing this, Zhang Heng's heart moved, and he inexplicably remembered the green-haired old man he had seen when he was watching Buzhou Mountain.Perhaps, that is the founder of Chiming Jiutian Tu.

Immortal Baiwei saw that Zhang Heng only showed a slight expression of shock, then returned to his calm demeanor, and was immediately even more satisfied with this successor.

He chuckled and said: "Originally, I shouldn't tell you these things now, otherwise if you are too ambitious, it will definitely hinder your practice. But the strength of your Taoist heart is still beyond my previous expectations, and I believe that your future achievements will also exceed Be a teacher."

Zhang Heng immediately responded seriously: "Disciple will definitely live up to Master's high expectations."

He knows that the path of spiritual practice requires step by step to understand the truth, understand oneself, and confirm each other, so that we can continue to make progress. This is what he has always done in the door of all wonders.

Immortal Baiwei nodded and said: "I can't give you much advice on the way of swordsmanship. The Langxia Sword Codex is enough for you to study in a short period of time. After you have completely mastered the fourth level of the Langxia Sword Codex, I will introduce you to another master in swordsmanship. He is a Sanxian who has an old relationship with me. He practices swordsmanship and is even more advanced than some of the top swordsmen in the history of the sect."

"As for the secret method I created, you are still unable to gain access to it at your current level. You will have to come back to me after some time to receive the inheritance."

"Oh?" Zhang Heng couldn't help but look expectant and asked, "I wonder what's so difficult about practicing this secret technique?"

Immortal Baiwei was startled at first, then laughed loudly and said: "My secret method is called the Five Elements Mending Heaven Seal. Even if you are just getting started, you need to cultivate at least five different directions of the five elements of heaven and earth to the level of the realm of Tao. .”

"This is the most proud work of my life. In terms of killing ability, it is not inferior to the swordsman's methods, but also has the ability to trap people and block the enemy. If you can cultivate it to a profound state, the sun and menstruation will move, and the five elements will rotate. The five elements are interdependent and mutually reinforcing each other, resulting in many changes.”

Zhang Heng couldn't help but be moved and said in admiration: "Master can actually create such an incredible magic. It's really amazing."

"My talent was not the best in the sect in my early years, and this secret method was gradually perfected after I became a Sanxian." Immortal Bai Wei let out a laugh, and then said: "After you accumulate a few more years, my master will guide you. Go to a place of inheritance. The reason why I have lived for more than 200 million years after becoming a Sanxian Queen is because I once had a great opportunity there."

Zhang Heng secretly thought: "It is a great opportunity to be called by Master Bai Wei. Could it be related to the power of a true immortal or even a Taoist ancestor?"

Seeing him looking at him longingly, Immortal Baiwei said: "I have accepted a few disciples before, but they were not qualified enough and they did not gain anything in that inheritance place. From now on, you can come to me every other month Ask for advice here once, whether you succeed or not depends on you."

"Now, I will preach to you once. How much you can understand and how much you can remember depends entirely on your understanding."

"Yes." Zhang Heng sat cross-legged on the futon beside him and watched carefully.

Immortal Baiwei stretched out his hand and picked out a branch from the green old pine outside, and then carved it carefully on the ground, as if writing words and describing all things in nature.

As he was writing, Zhang Heng felt a mysterious sound gradually coming from him, as if someone was whispering in his ear, and he was attracted in unconsciously.The branches are obviously only moving within a short distance, but at every moment, different insights can be seen from them.

Among them are the Tao of thick soil and the Tao of flowing water, which he has understood most deeply, as well as the Tao of other directions of the five elements of heaven and earth, and even avenues such as the Avenue of Heaven and Earth.All paths are connected, and as he gradually immersed himself in it, he also gained many new insights into the way of swordsmanship.

……

Zhang Heng had never heard such a detailed explanation from the shallower to the deeper in the past. Immortal Baiwei was like an extremely skilled chef, analyzing the many paths between heaven and earth for him layer by layer.

At the same time, he also knew that he should not be greedy for too much, otherwise he would be in chaos at the end and would not be able to gain any benefit.So he calmed down and focused on some Tao that he had understood before, and his mind was immersed in it in an instant.

I don't know how long it took, maybe an hour, or maybe longer, when he suddenly heard the sound of a chime, and the things carved by Immortal Baiwei on the ground gradually disappeared as if they were fading.

Zhang Heng raised his head and found that he was still sitting on the futon, but at some point, the figure of Immortal Baiwei was no longer on the big stone in the thatched cottage.

Preaching is not just about preaching some profound truths. Some things are difficult to express in words alone. Only when you reach a certain level and have a deep understanding can you fully understand them.Therefore, although Zhang Heng was confused about what Immortal Baiwei said, he was not in a hurry to ask.

He stood up and walked out of the thatched cottage. He saw Immortal Baiwei standing on the edge of the cliff in front of him with his eyes closed, silent and motionless, as if he was thinking about something.

"What you are practicing is the Secret Records of the Five Elements. After you return, you should break through to Master Wanxiang as soon as possible, and then go to the Daozang Hall to choose a few more kendo classics to study." Immortal Baiwei said, "Only by accumulating soil can a mountain be formed, and by accumulating small streams can a river and sea be formed. , studying the kendo classics of your predecessors is accumulation. Only when you have accumulated enough, can you create your own method. Do you understand?"

Zhang Heng felt clear in his heart and said respectfully: "Disciple understands."

"You are a practitioner of both divine and demonic body refining and air refining, so you might want to learn a few more magical powers." Taoist Bai Wei said leisurely: "Although the magical powers included in the sect are good, you should not be too distracted by them. You must remember that Tao is the foundation. When the day comes, I will take you to that place of inheritance. If you keep up the good work, you may gain something unexpected."

"I sincerely follow Master's teachings." Zhang Heng looked extremely calm, and secretly guessed in his heart: "Is there a great opportunity for the body refining of gods and demons in that inheritance place?"

"Go." Immortal Baiwei said.

"The disciple retire."

Zhang Heng then stepped back step by step, and then left outside the Immortal Mansion.

After a while, Immortal Baiwei slowly opened his eyes, his eyes shimmering with light, and whispered: "My disciple's qualifications for enlightenment seem to be far better than mine. I hope he can successfully survive the catastrophe in the future. "

"His body of gods and demons seems to be extremely perfect. It is different from other people who practice the Nine Heavens of Red Brightness. If he can completely pass the test set by that powerful person, he may have hope of becoming a god."

"I don't know if I can survive until the day when he overcomes the calamity." Immortal Baiwei smiled freely, casually sitting under the pine tree on the edge of the cliff, and took out a wine gourd to drink alone.
