Chapter 165: Sealing the Divine Source, the Opportunity to Cut the Dao
The person who called was not someone else, but Ye Fan's father.
Chai Xin answered the phone and soon a smile appeared on his face: "Okay, you wait for me at home, I will be there soon."
After several years of consideration and as they grew older, the parents of Ye Fan and Pang Bo finally made a decision - they were willing to be sealed by the Divine Source.
Although Chai Xin used medicine to help them strengthen their bodies, time is merciless and several old men felt that their time might not be far away.
This was also what Chai Xin intended. Although he cured some of their hidden diseases, he did not help them regain their youth, and normal aging was inevitable.
More than ten years have passed, and the older ones among the elderly, such as Pangbo's father, are already 67 years old this year. It is no exaggeration to say that they are entering old age.
Ye Fan’s mother, the youngest among the others, is already sixty-three years old.
At this age, half of the body is already buried in the ground. If one lives a long life, he may be able to hold on for another twenty years, but if one dies young, it is hard to say.
What’s more, the elderly are almost sick from worry, and it is difficult for them to live long.
Moreover, the sparrow that Chai Xin sealed at the beginning is not only still alive and kicking, but also seems to have been strengthened in both physical strength and intelligence.
This is also a matter of course. The divine source is a rare treasure even in Beidou. Although the sparrow only absorbed a tiny amount of spiritual energy, it was enough to show the difference from its peers.
Ordinary sparrows are difficult to keep alive, but this one was not only kept alive, but was also very intelligent and able to recognize its owner. It is not inferior to some smart dogs.
Finally, Chai Xin quickly went there and completely sealed the two old men with divine power.
At the same time, he did not forget to make some arrangements and fabricate the illusion that the two people died one after another at home.
With his means, even with modern equipment or the presence of other monks in person, no clues would be found.
In addition, he also used the hair and other things obtained from the two old men, and used the Yuantian secret technique of changing the world to transform their bodies.
Finally, the descendants of the two elderly people were secretly notified and watched them being "buried".
It is worth mentioning that the person who arranged the funeral for Ye Fan’s parents was a blind date of Ye Fan in the original novel. The two of them only had a good impression of each other at the beginning and did not really start a relationship.
This woman is Xu Qiong, who now has her own family. She was the "Little Xu" that Ye Fan's parents referred to when Chai Xin first visited them that day.
After this operation, the two old men were completely "dead" on the earth. Even if Ye Fan came back in the future, it would be difficult for him to figure out the mystery.
Chai Xin used some of Ye Fan's parents' body materials to create the illusion. Unless his cultivation level has surpassed Chai Xin's today when he returns, he will not be able to see through the truth even with the Yuantian Divine Eye.
Of course, if Ye Fan can see through the truth, it means that he has definitely succeeded in breaking through the Dao, so it doesn’t matter whether he can see through it or not.
The reason why Chai Xin did all this was just to save his life and the life of Pang Bo's parents without affecting his path to killing.
Otherwise, when his brothers meet in the future and ask about this matter, he will find it difficult to answer.
You returned to Earth early, but you didn't help your brothers take care of their parents?
Maybe they could choose not to help with other matters, as Ye Fan and Pang Bo would not care too much about them based on their personalities, but they could not possibly ignore this matter.
Perhaps, when Ye Fan returns to Earth in the future, he will find out that Chai Xin has also returned to Earth, and he may not even understand why the other party did not take care of his parents for him.
However, when we meet again in the future, all the mysteries will be revealed.
In order to make the whole thing seem more real, he did not seal Pangbo's parents immediately, but let them continue living and wait for some time.
After all, Ye Fan and Pang Bo's parents died at the same time. This might be a coincidence to other people, but if Ye Fan were to investigate it in the future, it would be too strange and there would obviously be something behind it.
The excuse Ye Fan gave was that the seal consumed a lot of energy and required a period of rest before it could be done again. Naturally, Pang Bo's parents had no objection.
After doing all this, Chai Xin returned to his residence and began his retreat again.
This time, before studying the "Divine Mantra Sutra", he first took out all the immortality maps he had obtained.
After a careful look, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"You've planned everything, but you still ended up helping me!"
He now has in his hands a total of five fragments of the map collected from all over the earth, which is already most of the complete map of immortality.
In addition, there is also a half picture of immortality obtained from the Yuhua Star Domain.
Chai Xin was very lucky. There were not many overlaps between the two parts, and he was able to piece together more than 95% of the picture of becoming an immortal.
In fact, just relying on this nearly perfect Immortality Map, coupled with his current strength and his cultivation of the Source Heaven Technique, he is already 80% sure that he can safely enter and exit the Kunlun Fairyland.
However, this was not the reason why Chai Xin laughed.
Instead, it was the old guys from Yanhuang who originally planned to use the "half-length portrait" of that fragment to attract him to participate in the Immortal Conference.
They thought they only had an image of half a bone fragment, and even if Chai Xin had a photographic memory, he would still have to go to the meeting to get a glimpse of the full picture of the incomplete image.
However, what even Chai Xin had never thought of was that the half-length portrait just made up for the extra part where the two incomplete scrolls overlapped!
In this way, a 100% complete picture of becoming an immortal has appeared before Chai Xin's eyes.
There's no need to go to that damn Immortal Conference.
Chai Xin laughed uncontrollably, not only because of the joy of obtaining the complete map of becoming an immortal, but also because he felt it was a bit funny that the plans of Qian Lao and others had failed.
I racked my brains to bring a "half-length photo", but in the end I still inexplicably missed a step.
As the saying goes, there is no coincidence in the world, and man proposes, God disposes. This is absolutely true.
After a long time, the laughter gradually died down.
Chai Xin calmed his mind and began to comprehend the "Divine Mantra Sutra".
He had a hunch that his chance to achieve the Dao of Killing would most likely depend on this secret technique. As long as he could trace it back to its origin and restore the original appearance of the "Digital Secret", breaking into the realm of the Dao of Killing would be a natural outcome.
In fact, with his current strength, it is not impossible for him to kill him by force.
The so-called "cutting off the path", according to the mainstream understanding in today's practice world, actually means cutting off worldly ties and the past, erasing the obsessions in one's heart, and devoting oneself to the path from then on.
For example, in the original novel, when Ye Fan was cutting off the Dao, there was a clear description that as long as he was willing to cut off the past on Earth, or cut off the concern for the Big Dipper Star Region, either of the two would be able to successfully enter a new realm.
But Ye Fan refused, he didn't want to forget any of the past, nor did he want to erase the obsession in his heart, and finally chose the most difficult way of reverse cutting. That is, to cut off the shackles of the avenue, follow his heart and walk out of his own unique way.
Chai Xin's current strength is much stronger than Ye Fan in the original novel at the same time, so naturally he is not willing to be an ordinary swordsman.
In fact, if he wanted to choose the path taken by most of the slayers, he would have more choices than Ye Fan.
In addition to the concern for the earth and the old friends of Beidou, there are also various things from the past life.
As long as he is willing to cut off any one of these three, he can immediately achieve enlightenment and enter the realm of the king.
However, although the difficulties they face are similar, if you really look into it, Chai Xin's situation is completely different from Ye Fan's.
Ye Fan is an ancient saint body. In the post-ancient era, he is naturally unsuitable for cultivation and can be said to be suppressed by the Great Dao.
In this situation, it was understandable and the right choice for him to finally cut off the road that blocked his way forward.
But Chai Xin is different, he is not an ancient holy body.
Quite the contrary, he is the innate Tao fetus loved by the Tao!
In addition, he is also a person with imperial blood returning to his ancestral state at the level of an emperor's son!
No matter which of these two options, before he attains enlightenment, the Dao will not suppress him in any way, and will even provide him with many conveniences, so it can be said that his path is unimpeded.
In this situation, Chai Xin also blindly imitated Ye Fan and insisted on going against the Great Dao of Slashing. It really seemed like he was just bored and looking for trouble.
Even, a little ungrateful.
At first, thanks to the Dao's love, his cultivation went smoothly. Now, in order to move to a higher level, he turned around and cut the Dao with a knife...
There is really no need.
Others shout that they want to defy heaven, perhaps heaven is really unfair to them; but if Chai Xin also wants to defy heaven every day, then he is too stupid.
Apart from the early death of his parents in this life, how has God wronged him?
As for learning from some of the big guys in the original novel, cutting off one's own special physique and bloodline, and reaching the state of returning to nature... it is too early now.
The prerequisite for returning to simplicity is that you must first reach the level of transcendence!
Otherwise, it's pure nonsense.
The big shots who have been through the ups and downs of officialdom have retired to the mountains and forests, which is called washing away all the dust and seeing through the world;
If ordinary people do the same, to put it nicely, it means that everyone has their own aspirations and enjoys the mountains and rivers. To put it bluntly, it means that they are evading responsibility and are afraid to face life.
Besides, although there were many people advocating the mortal body in the forums of the previous life, if we really count the past and present, how many people have achieved enlightenment with a mortal body?
Wu Shi is the innate holy body of Tao, the Immortal Emperor is the Immortal Phoenix, the Fighting Saint Emperor is the Fighting Saint Ape, the Sun Saint Emperor is the Sun God Body, and the Moon Saint Emperor is the Moon Body...
Even the protagonist Ye Fan has an ancient holy body!
At this time, many people may cite the ruthless emperor as an example, but...how many ruthless emperors have there been throughout the ages?
Besides, if physique and bloodline are really unimportant, then why would the ruthless emperor create his own Heaven-Swallowing Demon Art, eventually swallowing up all kinds of physiques and transforming into the strongest chaotic body?
Just keep practicing with a mortal body!
As long as you don't rely on your physique and bloodline and forget to exercise your own will, and don't go astray by over-dependence, you can truly turn them into your own strength instead of a burden.
When the day comes that the physique and bloodline really become a burden, Chai Xin will naturally cut them off without hesitation.
But what he has to do now is to use the incomparable compatibility between the innate Dao fetus and the digital secret, transcend the limits of the "Nine Prohibitions", directly merge with the Dao, and enter the realm of the Dao of Killing!
The work of tracing back to the origin was extremely tedious and mysterious. Even with Chai Xin's cultivation, knowledge, understanding and talent, it still took him more than a year to finally succeed.
This was also due to the fact that he had practiced two types of the Nine Secrets and had a deep understanding of this ultimate secret technique. Otherwise, if it were someone else, even if their cultivation and comprehension were stronger than his, they would definitely not be able to do it.
At the very least, one must first try to practice the "Divine Mantra Sutra" to perfection, and then comprehend it thoroughly and gain a deep understanding before this becomes possible.
However, Chai Xin directly skipped the step of practicing the "Divine Mantra Sutra" and restored it to its original form of "Digital Secret".
In the blink of an eye, another half a year had passed, the Immortal Conference had long ended, and he had finally fully comprehended this new set of Nine Secrets and was able to perform them skillfully.
Now, he no longer needs to learn any other secret techniques.
There is the secret of the word "fighting" for close combat and the secret of numbers for long-range attack. With the combination of the two, all Taoist magic in the world can be evolved.
This is not just a virtual form, but it can simulate the true meaning of various secret techniques, reaching a level where the fake is indistinguishable from the real, or even replacing the real with the fake!
In this way, not only has his strength been improved, but Chai Xin's great calamity has finally arrived!
In fact, five months ago, when he had a preliminary understanding of the digital secret, he had already sensed that the heavenly calamity was about to come.
However, he has been suppressing it and further comprehending the secret of numbers.
Today, the pressure has finally reached its limit. In one or two days, the heavenly calamity will surely come.
Chai Xin stood up and turned into a purple light, going up to the sky.
The area of the earth currently exposed is too small. His great calamity must be very terrifying. If he were to endure the calamity here, it would probably cause harm to innocent people.
However, just as he flew high into the sky, he suddenly heard a voice coming from afar.
"My dear Chai, you are here! I have been waiting for you for so long!"
The voice sounded familiar. Chai Xin turned his head and saw that it was Taoist Qian from Qingcheng Mountain.
He frowned a little. Not attending the Immortal Conference was already a statement of his attitude, but these guys were still pestering him.
Although he was unhappy, he still stopped and wanted to hear what the other party had to say.
"My dear Chai, I heard that your hometown is this city, so I have been waiting here for more than half a year. Finally, I have waited for you."
Taoist Qian had obviously been hiding here for a long time, always observing the movements of the entire county, otherwise he would not have been able to call Chai Xin in the first place.
After all, Chai Xin had used some tricks on his courtyard, so outsiders could only see a wilderness, and even monks could not find it.
In fact, all those who knew about that courtyard would automatically ignore that memory and would not be able to inquire about it.
"The Immortal Dao Conference should have ended long ago. What do you want from me?"
His tone was a little cold, and he was actually a little annoyed.
Taoist Qian didn't care at all, still smiled and waved his hand and said: "My friend, you don't know that the Immortal Dao Conference has been postponed!"
Chai Xin was stunned when he heard this, and said in astonishment: "Isn't it postponed specifically for me? Let me make it clear first, I'm really busy and I really don't have time to attend the meeting!"
"My friend, you have misunderstood. This postponement is not just for your sake. Instead, the Penglai Sect Leader has personally come forward, hoping to change the venue of this Immortal Dao Conference, and invite the leaders of all sects in the world, as well as outstanding disciples, to attend the conference in Penglai Fairyland!"
When Taoist Qian said this, Chai Xin was stunned again.
"What does this have to do with me? Could it be that I killed that little celestial being, and Penglai is so angry that they want to unite the strongest people in the world to attack me?"
In the original novel, there was not a single good person in the Penglai sect, so his first reaction was that these bitches were holding back their farts.
