Chapter 1291 The Long Journey to Immortality (4k)

Unknown mountain.

The mountains are majestic, the terrain is steep, and the vegetation is lush and dense.

unfortunately,

The spiritual vein is ordinary and not enough to be used as a place for immortals.

A hundred feet below the mountain, there is a fist-sized stone, which looks no different from the surrounding stones.

Inside there is a light spot the size of a grain of rice.

Inside the light spot is a huge space.

The cave is ochre-colored, with several crystal stones as thick as arms inserted on the top, bringing light to the cave.

At the end of the cave, a man with flying black hair sat on a large chair.

A rolled-up bamboo scroll was suspended in front of the forehead.

There was nothing special about the words on the bamboo slips, but each word seemed to exude an incomprehensible Taoist rhyme.

Every word can draw people's mind into it, and then fall into the mysterious and profound avenue.

This bamboo slip is the original version of the "Book of Changes".

The first complete volume of "The Book of Changes" written by King Wen Jichang was rewarded by heaven and earth. Under the infusion of the power of merit, the ordinary bamboo slips directly became acquired magic weapons.

At this time, Wang Ming was using the Book of Changes to deduce and calculate his future path.

Today, Wang Ming focuses on cultivating Taoism.

He even reached the realm of Daluo Jinxian.

Above the Daluo realm in the world of Fengshen, there are quasi-saints and saints, and many of them look like passers-by.

But actually,
The path to immortality is not easy.

Anyone can learn the path to immortality, but if one wants to be successful in practice, then one’s aptitude is tested.

Ordinary people have the same fate as Jiang Ziya, wasting half their lives and losing their path to immortality.

It’s not that Jiang Ziya cannot continue to practice the way of immortality at this time, but that there is no point in practicing the way of immortality.

If he wants to continue cultivating immortality, he must break through to the next level as soon as possible and successfully extend his life.

unfortunately,

With his average talent, it would take at least two hundred years of accumulation for him to reach the next realm. His remaining life span is less than a hundred years. How can he continue to practice?

The highest realm that the acquired human race in the world of Fengshen can reach through cultivation is Taiyi Golden Immortal.

There is absolutely no hope of breaking through to the next level.

The Golden Immortals are basically innate creatures.

Wang Ming himself is just an ordinary human soul on the Blue Star. He then collects various resources in the world of the heavens and re-condenses his own body.

In the "Xianjian World", the [Five Spirit Pearls] are integrated into the body, allowing the body to successfully transform into a Five Elements Taoist body.

Even so,

Wang Ming was also stuck at Taiyi Jinxian.

after all,

The "Xianjian World" itself is just a world that was opened up not long ago. Its level is not very high, so the upper limit of the [Five Spirit Pearls] in it is naturally just that.

If Wang Ming, the Golden Immortal, stood up at this time, he could directly declare himself the strongest person of the acquired human race in the [World of Conferred Gods].

In fact, it can be said that he is the strongest of all acquired creatures.

Even if Wang Ming broke through to the Golden Immortal level, it was not really achieved through his own practice.

If Wang Ming had not borrowed Li Shimin's imperial spirit and gained humanitarian merits and merits from the Journey to the West, Wang Ming might have failed at the breakthrough step.

"Failed!"

Wang Ming, who had been concentrating on the Book of Changes, opened his eyes, and a look of dejection appeared in his eyes.

just now,

Wang Ming used his own "Book of Changes" to calculate his own path.

He was already a Daluo Jinxian at this time.

The road ahead is naturally to become a quasi-saint! Becoming a saint!

There are three ways to become a saint: 1. Prove the truth by force. 2. Become a saint through merit. 3. Behead the three corpses.

"The Book of Changes"!
It can be regarded as a computer from the extraordinary world. Through its calculation, Wang Ming can see the probability of achieving enlightenment.

The first thing to be calculated is naturally "proving the truth through force".

It failed without a doubt.

The method that Wang Ming practiced was based on the [Nine Revolutions Profound Art] as the framework, and then Wang Ming filled in other things to form a fairy method.

The martial arts method was indeed created by Wang Mingchuang, but the framework is still the "framework of the Journey to the West immortal system."

This is just like mathematics. No matter how the knowledge changes and extends, it will eventually become 1+1=2.
Since he used the "Journey to the West Immortal Framework", naturally his three disasters were also inherited.

There are four steps on the path to immortality in Journey to the West.

The first five hundred years were difficult for the gods and ghosts to tolerate.

In the second five hundred years, there will be thunderstorms from the sky.

The third five hundred years are burned by Yin Fire.

The fourth five hundred years saw the coming of the Bei wind.

Ghosts and gods cannot tolerate it! In simple terms, it is to resist the Book of Life and Death. As long as you have strong cultivation, you can get through it.

Thunderstorms from the sky! Thunderstorms are thunders sent down from heaven. If you pass the test, you will be granted amnesty.

Generally, after surviving the thunderstorm, immortal warriors would choose to go directly to heaven, where they could eat peaches and delay the subsequent wind and thunderstorms.

When Wang Ming was practicing Taoism, his own cultivation was already very strong, so he was naturally not afraid of any trouble from ghosts and gods.

The most important thing is that Wang Ming himself is very cautious. Since entering the mythological world, he has never revealed his own name.

In addition, with the system in place, the Book of Life and Death cannot imprint Wang Ming's life mark at all.

In the "World of the Lotus Lantern", Wang Ming is one of the strongest people, and he has a good relationship with the Heavenly Court, so naturally they will not use thunder to strike him.

In "Journey to the West", who dares to chop Li Shimin, the king of men?

At first, Wang Ming was already over 2000 years old and thought that he would not experience the so-called "three disasters".

It turned out that Wang Ming had indeed misunderstood.

He himself had never experienced a fire or lightning disaster, but because Wang Ming had eaten peaches in the "Baolian Lantern World", his [fire] and [wind disaster] were delayed.

This time, when Wang Ming was calculating and simulating [Proving the Way with Strength], he fell under the [Fire].

The fundamental reason why fires and wind disasters are so scary comes from within ourselves, not from the outside world.

[Fire] and [wind disaster] are evolved from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in one's body.

Wanting to resist it head-on is simply wishful thinking, because it is the result of all the magic power of a cultivator.

It's just like a person cannot lift himself up.

Similarly, a monk cannot eliminate his own mana. If his mana is emptied, then [wind disasters] and [fires] will be meaningless, because the immortality of a monk comes from his mana.

"Oh! I didn't expect that the end of the longevity in Journey to the West would be an examination." Wang Ming sighed.

[Wind disasters] and [fires] are so terrible that people in the world of Journey to the West will naturally not be foolish enough to endure the disasters. Everyone is trying to avoid and delay the disasters.

That is to say, eating peaches, ginseng fruit, fire dates, etc.

This is also why the Jade Emperor has a special status and controls core resources!
“It’s not that [Proving the Way with Strength] is impossible, but I don’t have enough time to complete [Proving the Way with Strength].

And I didn’t use the peaches the first time. If I had used the peaches and kept delaying, it should have worked.” Below, Wang Ming once again manipulated the Book of Changes to start the calculation simulation. The words on the bamboo slips emitted inexplicable fluctuations, and moved with the frequency of Wang Ming’s dancing black hair.

An hour later, Wang Ming opened his eyes again.

"I successfully avoided the [Three Disasters], but in the end I still fell to [Proving the Way with Strength]." Wang Ming looked bitter.

This time it was because of qualifications.

After all, Wang Ming is not a congenital creature, and his own foundation is too shallow, so Wang Ming's cultivation speed becomes slower and slower as time goes by.

[Eternal Life in Journey to the West] is different from the immortality methods in other worlds in that once you become an immortal, your life span is unlimited.

It is for this reason that Wang Ming chose the [Journey to the West Immortality Method].

Wang Ming's longevity skills are not limited to the [Journey to the West Longevity Method], such as martial arts, qi and blood, true qi, origin, and special energy...

But what is without exception is that the lifespan given to people in each of these realms is limited.

During this deduction, Wang Ming spent 300,000 years and successfully improved his cultivation to the late stage of Daluo Jinxian, and then Wang Ming died.

This late stage of Daluo Jinxian is the late stage of proving the Tao by force, so there is no such realm as Quasi-Sage.

The reason for the failure was that three hundred thousand years later, Wang Ming continued to use peaches to delay the [Three Disasters], and as a result, his body developed drug resistance.

It was also at this time that Wang Ming understood why Taishang Laojun had a special status in the "Journey to the West World".

The peaches can delay the arrival of wind disasters and fires, but the elixir refined by Laojun has the function of eliminating the drug resistance of the peaches.

It was impossible for Wang Ming to obtain Laojun's golden elixir, so he simply burned it to ashes in a fire.

“It seems that [proving the truth through force] won’t work.” Wang Ming thought to himself.

There are three ways to achieve Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian. Hongjun succeeded in [Slaying the Three Corpses Method], and Nuwa, Zhunti and others succeeded in [Becoming a Saint through Merit and Virtue].

The only thing that has no successful case is [proving the truth through force].

When Pangu created the world, he must have taken the path of "proving the truth through force", but unfortunately he failed in the end.

Wang Ming was not frustrated about the failure of [Proving the Way with Strength]. After all, Yuanshi Tianzun and others could not succeed, so there was no need to force him to choose other paths, let alone Wang Ming, a post-natal creature.

What really shocked him was that [Journey to the West Immortality Method] had huge flaws.

Wang Ming didn't think much about it. He flipped his palm and a jade slip appeared. This jade slip was the [Method of Killing the Three Corpses] that Wang Ming obtained by helping the Queen Mother of the "Baolian Lantern World" to resist Yang Jian and Chenxiang's modification of the Heavenly Rules.

Wang Ming has always kept this method in the system storage space and has never practiced it because Wang Ming always felt that there was something wrong with this method.

"It's a good opportunity to use the Book of Changes to deduce it, and let me see where your problem lies." Wang Ming's hair began to dance again, and the words on the bamboo slips continued to emit inexplicable fluctuations, bringing Wang Ming into a mysterious realm.

During the deduction, Wang Ming successfully used the [Shennong Ding] to kill the first corpse.

Then he got stuck because he lacked the innate spiritual treasure.

So Wang Ming set up a plan, and while the calamity of the Conferred Gods had not yet completely ended, he dragged the immortals, Buddhas and saints of the three realms into the battle again.

After finally killing a large group of people, Wang Ming obtained a lot of innate spiritual treasures.

With no shortage of innate spiritual treasures, he spent another 500 years to use the [Lingjiu Palace Lantern] to kill a corpse.

In the last level, Wang Ming used the [Dinghaizhu] to kill the corpse.

After successfully killing the three corpses, Wang Ming failed when he tried to merge them.

The three corpses are incompatible and cannot be merged again.

After wasting a lot of time, Wang Ming felt that there must be something wrong with the properties of the magic weapons.

Then Wang Ming destroyed his own corpse and pulled it out of the [Shennong Ding], replacing it with Randeng's [Qiankun Ruler].

The entire configuration of Randeng was used.

This time, the gap between the three innate spiritual treasures was smaller. With Wang Ming's unremitting efforts, he really succeeded in fusing the three corpses together.

"So that's how it is. The big pit buried in the [Method of Slashing the Three Corpses] is here. The innate spiritual treasures for slashing the corpses must be connected to each other. It's best if they are magic treasures of the same origin. Otherwise, even if you succeed in slashing the corpses, you won't be able to integrate them."

Wang Ming was wondering whether this thunder was planted by the ancestor Hongjun who taught him the martial arts, or whether the Queen Mother of the West modified the martial arts to deliberately trick him.

The deduction continues.

Although the three corpses merged into one, Wang Ming did not become a saint, nor did he become a Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian.

"Why is this?" Wang Ming was puzzled.

With the combination of [Qiankun Ruler], [Lingjiu Palace Lantern] and [Dinghai Pearl], Wang Ming could only become a top-level quasi-saint like Lord Haotian.

then.

General Wang Ming practiced Buddhist techniques.

Previously, when revealing Dipankara's judgment of Buddhism, Wang Ming took the opportunity to write down the Buddhist concepts of "Six-foot-tall Golden Body" and "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm".

Wang Ming relied on scheming to obtain a third-grade [Golden Lotus of Merit] from Buddhism.

The most difficult part of Buddhist practice is that the power of merit and the aroma of incense are difficult to obtain.

Wang Ming has the ability to travel through the heavens, which is easy to collect.

It is actually very difficult to travel through the heavens!

The cultivators of the "Fengshen World" can kill people like Pang Ban and Ling Donglai who broke the void in the "Huang Yi World" with just a glance.

But they couldn't break the void.

Because this world is more powerful, the stronger the world is, the more difficult it is to leave it.

If Nuwa could walk out of this world, she could destroy the world that Wang Ming had visited with just one finger.

But unfortunately she couldn't get out.

What prevented them from leaving was the laws of nature of this world.

Want to defeat the way of heaven?

The power of Heaven is equal to the sum of the powers of all living beings in this world, and Nuwa herself is a part of this world.

How to break through?

Pang Ban, Ling Donglai, and Wang Ming were able to break through the void only because their world level was too low and the way of heaven was incomplete.

With all his merits and virtues intact, Wang Ming successfully practiced the Buddhist teachings and attained Buddhahood.

Unfortunately, it is only slightly stronger than an ordinary quasi-saint, and its effect is similar to that of the three corpses combined into one, and is still inferior.

"Could it be that the magic weapon is used incorrectly?" Wang Ming was puzzled and calculated again.

This time,
Wang Ming was very determined. He tried various layouts, collected various magic weapons, and tried various combinations, but he still failed in the end.

"The [Method of Killing the Three Corpses] definitely hides the key, either it is the legendary [Hongmeng Purple Qi], or it requires one to be in harmony with the Way of Heaven.

Or we can try to find an innate spiritual treasure of the same origin." Wang Ming speculated.

After searching among the many magic weapons he knew, Wang Ming looked grim: "Magic weapons of the same origin, do you want me to use the [Tai Chi Diagram], [Pangu Banner], and [Donghuang Bell] to chop the corpse?

Never mind, just give it a try first."

Wang Ming activated the "Book of Changes" again, and opened his eyes the next moment.

He looked at the floating "Book of Changes" with a grim expression.

"My mother's power of merit has been completely used up."

The deduction of skills and paths in the "Book of Changes" is not a self-expendable behavior, it requires the consumption of merit and power.

During these few deductions, all the merits and virtues in the "Book of Changes" were exhausted.

"Another wicked magic weapon."

Wang Ming shook his head, his eyes shone with golden light, penetrating the space of the barrier and looking towards the Chaoge City outside.

At this time, Chaoge was already under the siege of the Xiqi army.
