Chapter 572 Prove the Tao with force and ask about the lack of form
"The true meaning of thunder method is not thunder, but the meaning that defies all laws of heaven and earth. It is the heart that has gone through countless tribulations and is the spirit of continuous progress. In the first half of my life, I sought the true method but could not get it. In the second half of my life, I never hesitated to teach the method. The world."
Li Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the stern young man in front of him.
The other party is just like Li Changsheng in his previous life when he was a mortal. He practiced day and night and tried his best to explore the great road. He had already torn through the book on qigong training, which was a popular book in the spiritual world, and remembered every word and every movement clearly.
No matter how hard he struggled, he still couldn't get the air into his body.
At that time, Li Changsheng understood that heaven and earth would not tolerate him.
From then on, I did not cultivate the way of heaven or heaven and earth, but only cultivated my own way.
"You are the first one who can understand my thunder method. There is indeed a way to achieve enlightenment through force, but you are not me."
But how many people in heaven and earth are Li Changsheng? How many people can move forward in endless despair?
The weight of life does not depend on its length. Li Changsheng’s sixty years of enlightenment are equivalent to his whole life, groping for the road in the dark night when he couldn’t see his fingers.
Qiu Wuji and Li Changsheng are the same kind of people, but the latter has experienced more hardships. At least Qiu Wuji encountered no obstacles in his practice at the beginning. He practiced all the way to the end and made great progress only to find that the road ahead was cut off.
Li Yi is not praising suffering. If it is possible, no one would want to go through hardships, and no one would want to have a smooth life in the end.
It’s just that practicing is like forging iron. Every time you break through the hardships, you will gain new life after breaking through. Li Changsheng's wandering life was not comparable to Qiu Wuji's.
At least at this time, Qiu Wuji could not see the hope of breaking through with force.
Qiu Wuji said resolutely: "If you hear the Tao in the morning, you can die at night."
If he cultivated for the sake of life and death, then he would not be able to reach this stage. A truly great person with great supernatural powers would have already left life and death out of the question.
In his previous life, he went to kill Feng Wa under the order of Tao Zun, but more like now, it was for his own Tao. Qiu Wuji hoped that Wu Xiang could put enough pressure on him to risk his life and survive, and then break through after reaching the ultimate level.
However, things backfired. A breakthrough at the last minute is a nice thing to talk about, but it is not an ordinary thing.
Now he wants to try again, even if he has died once in his previous life, he will never look back in this life.
"will die."
Li Yi repeated it again, his voice was light, but it was like a Mount Tai weighing on the top, making Qiu Wuji feel endless pressure.
It seems as if the road ahead is already a cliff and I can't cross it no matter what.
This is also a kind of mercy.
Li Yi doesn't like tragedies. Although the two have never met and have nothing to do with each other, as a person who has been through it, he doesn't mind giving advice to those who come after him.
Qiu Wuji was silent for a while, and with his colorful and exquisite heart, he understood what the other party really meant.
I am not qualified yet.
He asked: "Dare I ask the immortal, I must not be able to achieve enlightenment with my strength?"
Li Yi shook his head and said: "There are no absolutes in anything. If you want to talk about possibilities, you are the most likely person in the world to achieve enlightenment through strength. But there is little hope. This is a road full of thorns. Don't think that you are special. There is no way to achieve this. It depends on luck."
It is much more difficult to achieve enlightenment through strength than the normal path of formlessness.
Although Qiu Wuji is already the number one under Wu Xiang, his superficial combat power alone can actually rival Wu Xiang, but it is still not enough.
He has only an extremely slim chance.
“Perhaps it will be more likely in the future.”
One second, two seconds, three seconds…
Qiu Wuji was unusually silent, and the hand holding the sword became tighter and tighter. He was not afraid of death, but a luck.
As Li Yi said, maybe he will have a greater chance of breakthrough in the future. This is also the psychology of most monks who are about to make a breakthrough. They are obviously well prepared, but they want to continue to polish their skills and spend countless years just to increase their chances by one percent.
Can such a breakthrough really be achieved?
At least we are more certain than we are now.
The heart of Qiqiao Exquisite was beating crazily, making Qiu Wuji understand what should be done at this moment. You should retreat, accumulate strength, and break through later.
Now that his strength has improved further, he can completely escape the control of Dao Zun. And the existence of the immortal does not want to kill himself. Perhaps facing him, the other party never has the thought of killing or not killing.
Killing is for equal beings.
Qiu Wuji already had a decision in his eyes.
Seven Skills and Exquisite Hearts can distinguish right from wrong and can always give the best answer, but it is not the most suitable answer.
Finish all your efforts in one battle.
“Ask the immortal for guidance.”
Li Yi did not continue to persuade. It was only a matter of three things. Since the other party was ready to die, he could only respect it.
“I’ll give you three days to prepare.”
The Fairy in Bai Yi looked back at the world and said indifferently:
"Don't move, or you'll die."
The world is silent, no one responds.
No one dared to respond to this call.
Having said that, Yang Shen dissipated into the void.
All the waves subsided at this moment, and the strong men in the world were silent, all looking up at Qiu Wuji.
At this moment, even people who are not interested are looking at this place.
Break through formlessness.
This is something that many people dare not even think about, but now there are people who want to take the first step, and they are conquering it with force.
Hearing his words again, the last one was Li Changsheng.
If Qiu Wuji also used force to conquer the Tao, would he be as powerful as Li Changsheng?
——————
Hanshui, Lijia Linyuan.
"仙长."
Qingxuan carefully shook Li Yi. At this time, he closed his eyes slightly and made a slight snorting sound, as if he was taking a nap.
But just now, I was out of body again. Could it be that I fell asleep again just after I came back?
Li Yi still hasn't woken up. It doesn't look like he is pretending to be asleep, and there is no need.
“Little Taoist priest, don’t disturb the immortal’s sleep while you’re at it.”
Rabbit kicked Qingxuan away.
Although she was also curious about breaking through formlessness, this was obviously not as good as the immortal taking a nap. Wuxiang is too far away from her, and it is unlikely that she can break through.
The biggest advantage of Rabbit is that he has a clear mind and a clear positioning of himself.
She started out as a maid, but later her loyalty turned sour, but it did not affect Rabbit's self-perception of "she is a vase".
An hour later, Li Yi slowly opened his eyes, stretched, and got up from the bamboo chair.
He glanced at the setting sun and said, "Rabbit, what are you going to eat tonight?"
“The green spirit fish caught from the Dragon Palace, as well as the immortal’s favorite soybeans and pig’s feet. I planted the soybeans according to the spirit planting standards.” Rabbit replied.
“Rabbit understands me.”
Li Yi couldn't help but rub the rabbit's head, and the rabbit immediately rubbed his head with it. It can be said that he has the charm of a woman while retaining his innocence.
Let Dong Yunshu and Wei Xi feel a little pressure, but they are no longer able to act like they did when they first met, and they start off with a big mouth.
After all, we have lived together for so many years.
Let’s not say that sisters are of the same mind, at least they will be more tolerant of other people. Rabbits in particular are very lovable and know how to please others. Even as love rivals, it is difficult for them to beat or scold each other.
Rabbi Tu'er did not forget to win people's hearts, and said: "I also prepared the best white jade tofu for Sister Wei, and the Bazhen chicken that Sister Dong likes."
Zhu Xue raised her hand and asked, "I want to drink sugar water."
“Little thing, you can eat what the mother rabbit eats.”
“Woo woo woo.”
The Li family chatted and slapped each other as usual, but Qingxuan obviously couldn't be so relaxed. He came to Li Yi and asked in a low voice: "Immortal, how can you let people prove the Tao with strength? That Qiu Wuji can really break through the infinite." Do you like it?"
"I've been teaching you all the time." Li Yi looked helpless, looking at the two monks and Taoists as if they were children who couldn't live up to their expectations.
"Look at Qiu Wuji, he understands it without having to teach him personally. But you, I have taught you countless times, and you still think I am looking for a reason to hit you."
Is not it?
Qingxuan wanted to ask back, but for the sake of his own ass, he followed the other person's words and asked honestly, "You mean to chop Qiu Wuji."
"almost."
Li Yi's eyebrows became more serious and he said: "My thunder technique is difficult to describe in words, you can only feel it, which is the way I usually teach you. But the difference is that this time I will not hold back."
"Then he is dead?" A flash of fear flashed in Qingxuan's eyes.
Li Yi is basically not stingy with what he can give to the people around him, and of course it is indispensable to satisfy their curiosity.
For example, his full blow.
Although it is impossible to actually fight, it is still possible to feel it for a moment. Qingxuan was dizzy at that time with just a brief breath.
“Amitabha.”
Du Shi recited the scriptures in a low voice, his fingers trembling slightly unconsciously.
Qingxuan asked again: "Does it mean that after one blow from you, I can become phaseless?"
"Although I still have some strength, I haven't exaggerated to that extent." Li Yi couldn't help laughing and shook his head, "Whether he can be invisible or not depends not on me, but on himself. Even if he survives my thunder method, It can only prove his strength.”
“Without appearance, it is the gate to heaven.”
Li Yi then changed his tone: "But if you can survive three moves with all my strength, you should be able to do it without any appearance."
…”
Ching Xuan and Du Shi Wu Yan.
They once again refreshed their understanding of Li Yi. The implication is that Wu Xiang can be beaten to death in three blows?
At least a serious injury.
"What if Qiu Wuji really succeeds?" Qingxuan asked three times, with a bit of worry in his words.
Li Yi said calmly: "Cheng is without form, what do you think?"
Qingxuan took a deep breath and said solemnly: "I want to ask the immortal to kill him."
“Have a grudge?”
Qingxuan shook his head and said: "There is no grievance, no enmity, but Qiu Wuji Qian should never achieve enlightenment. Even if the number of Wu Xiang increases, I don't want anyone to break through, even myself."
Even if you become enlightened, you are not allowed to speak like a demon.
Hands down without saying a word. Silence is the best recognition.
Although it was not stated explicitly, the two of them had been together for two thousand years, and there were many things that did not need to be said explicitly.
Li Yi saw Qingxuan's worries at a glance and said softly: "Xiao Qi, do you know that you would not do anything to harm the world even if you take a tiny bit of it. I never expect to become a saint, but I will strictly discipline myself so as not to become a villain."
“Everyone has the freedom to pursue a higher realm, Xiao Qi, I hope you won’t make the same mistakes as Xiao Yuntian and others.”
Qingxuan asked back: "Isn't it clear that the world owes you a share of cause and effect? Your existence means sacrificing a few people. This is for the prosperity of most people. I know you don't like to give up a small part, and you may break through the non-appearance. I’m afraid there’s only one person in the world.”
“Isn’t it okay to kill one person and bring peace to the world?”
"Can."
Li Yi's nod was beyond Qingxuan's expectation.
"If killing one person can save the world, even if that person is a good person, I will do it if there is no other way. But the word hypothesis, false comes first, will always be false. The safety of the world cannot be placed above one person. It can't be me." "Xiaoqi, you are the most like me, and you understand people's hearts well. You should know where the real problem is."
But Qingxuan retreated unconsciously.
He feels guilty.
“Today you can prevent people from breaking through formlessness, and tomorrow you can not allow the Holy King to appear, and then you can transform into gods, and then Nascent Soul, and even deprive people in the world of the qualification to practice.”
“Chief Immortal, I am just a transformed spirit.” Qingxuan scratched his cheek, showing a slightly embarrassed look, trying to hide his guilt.
He cannot do it, but it is not impossible to unite all the forces that can be united.
Qingxuan understands the power of people and people.
So Li Yicai thought that he was like himself, but missing one fist.
Li Yi did not expose it.
“I wish that all people in the world can have no appearance.”
“Chief Immortal, your words are equivalent to the fact that all people in China are qualified to become prime ministers.” Qingxuan complained, and at the same time, he obviously did not listen to the advice.
You can give in to other things, but you can only reduce the power of heaven and earth.
Li Yi smiled gently and said: "That's true, but after all, we have to leave some memories for future generations. It doesn't matter whether they can do it or not. What's important is that they have the qualifications."
“I also believe that everyone has the opportunity to be without form.”
Having said that, Li Yi turned around and returned to the house. There was no strict order, but it seemed that he could not change.
Qingxuan and Dushi stood in silence for a long time.
This immortal is as willful and otherworldly as before.
Xian is not an honorific, but an explanation of his own existence. It brings together people's fantasies about all the good things, a perfect person who is the most holy and virtuous person.
The Immortal is not a perfect person, he has many minor flaws, but he is better than a perfect person in the face of great right and wrong.
Qingxuan sighed, waved his hand and sent out a paper crane, telling the Immortal Palace that no other action was necessary.
First, Qiu Wuji won the victory in an upright and aboveboard manner, and it was impossible for him to do anything dirty.
If you still want to ask the sword, it's better to say that you can attack in groups, which is also in line with the rules. But strong men are arrogant, and Xiao Yuntian and Yan Tianjun are obviously unwilling.
Second, the immortal disagreed.
Outside the courtyard.
The two Wu Xiang sat under the banyan tree for a long time, unable to speak to themselves.
“Qiu Wuji, can it be done?”
"impossible."
“Why?”
The old tree spirit replied as always: "He is not Li Changsheng. He just has a talent without appearance."
————————
Three days later.
天外.
Qiu Wuji sat cross-legged on the ground, leaning on Fengwa Daoji. The injuries on his body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his strength vaguely increased a little.
This is unimaginable in the previous life, and the saint king's conduct at the peak can still increase. It's neither cultivation nor magic power, nor magic weapon. It's his Tao that is growing.
This is the true meaning of Xiaowu Lei Zhengfa.
Thunder method is just an appearance, and the true meaning is to prove the Tao through force.
As long as you continue to hone yourself, you will one day be able to break through to the extreme.
The Wenjian Tianxia experience in the past few days was worth his tens of thousands of years of practice, but it was only this once, and the Holy King would no longer be able to put pressure on him in the future.
Must be formless.
That is, the immortal bestows the Dharma.
The last wound healed, and the last breath of true energy returned to the Dantian. Qiu Wuji slowly opened his eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the barefoot and white-robed immortal suddenly appeared, as if he had always been there.
“Are you ready?”
His voice is as easy-going as the clouds in the sky.
“Please enlighten me.”
Qiu Wuji stood up, his hair dancing wildly, and his eyes filled with thousands of sword intentions.
The Immortal Sword was unsheathed, and in an instant, an overwhelming amount of magic power erupted. Just a few waves that fell into reality rolled up clouds covering a hundred miles in radius.
In an instant, it is like the eye of a typhoon.
On the other hand, Bai Yixian's face was calm, and there was no disturbance around him.
Qiu Wuji swung a sword. The sword seemed to cut down the sky and the earth, and the sword light enveloped half of the planet.
“Don’t die.”
A voice like the breeze came, followed by a bang, and the thousands of sword lights turned into nothingness.
The white and slender jade finger is a little empty.
Hurrah!
A subtle thunder sounded, and Qiu Wuji saw a ray of thunder. It was probably only the size of his own hair, but it made his body tremble unconsciously.
This is his full blow?
Doubts arose, and before Qiu Wuji could think about it, boundless thunder followed, a light that seemed so powerful that he didn't even dare to resist.
Qiu Wuji bit the tip of his tongue, laughed unconsciously at the corners of his mouth, and slashed out another sword with Burning Daoji.
“Behead!”
Boom!
The unparalleled shock wave instantly destroyed the newly formed typhoon, and countless clouds scattered and disappeared like marshmallows in water.
Qiu Wuji spat out a mouthful of blood. He was severely injured, and his breath was extremely weak. In an instant, he was forced to lift it up again.
Following that, a clear cracking sound sounded, as if something had broken.
Qiu Wuji felt Wuxiang, and felt the great power that transcended everything.
But he just felt that he was like cutting a hole in the gate of heaven, and he could use his eyes to look at the world of supreme existence, a new world called transcendence.
“Not bad.” Bai Yixian praised without hesitation.
“You deserve to be the number one person under Wu Xiang, so you still want to continue?”
Qiu Wuji wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up again, and said firmly: "It's not enough, far from enough."
The Fairy in Bai Yi pointed her finger in the air again, this time it was a flash of white light.
And Qiu Wuji also struck out with a stronger sword.
A sword that can truly break the law!
The white light and the sword light collided with each other, and the holy kings who cast their gazes at this place did not see or hear the expected roar.
There was just an unspeakable buzzing sound, and a pale color spread to all sides, which contained the power to destroy the world, and all laws were scattered wherever it passed!
A direct attack on the law!
All the Holy Kings were dizzy on the spot and almost fell to the ground and passed out.
Looking out to the sky again, what I saw was not the blue sky or the dark universe, but a pale color.
It was almost chaotic pale, as if a hole had been dug out of the sky and the earth.
Qiu Wuji knelt down on one knee, his body covered in blood, his body trembling visibly, and half of his face was burnt black.
But he survived.
The momentum rose again, completely surpassing the limits of the Holy King.
It’s done?
An idea appeared in the minds of all the bystanders at the same time.
While the Wuxiang people shook their heads.
Climbing out from the bottom of the well, it is still a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from the sky.
“You did your best.”
The fairy in white clothes seems to comfort and also seems to pronounce sentence.
This was his last act of mercy.
One more step would mean death, and there would be no room for it.
In response to the old tree spirit's words, "He is not Li Changsheng."
Huhu~
The strong wind roared, and it seemed that this voice was the only voice left in the world.
Those who try to imitate the immortals are teetering on the edge, as if a gust of wind can blow them down.
One after another, like real eyes, met in the void and fell on Qiu Wuji.
Regret, admire, appreciate
Everyone knows that he has run out of fuel and will die if he takes another step forward.
"I have heard the Tao in the morning and heard the Tao in the morning. I have seen transcendence. I must be like a mayfly that lives in the morning and dies in the evening. I should be the true dragon that roams the nine heavens, and I should be the saint who transcends heaven and earth."
“In the end, I should be equal to you and look at you on an equal footing.”
Qiu Wuji stood up tremblingly, holding the sword and standing. The blood flowing from the tiger's mouth dripped from the sword. There was not a good piece of flesh on his body, but his eyes had not become cloudy.
On the contrary, it becomes brighter and brighter.
He roared: "Disciple Qiu Wuji, please ask the immortal for help!"
"Why."
With a sigh, thousands of miles of rays of light fell, the Immortal Killing Sword broke, the hilt fell to the ground and turned into land, finally becoming a sacred mountain.
Qiu Wuji fell onto the sacred mountain, half of his face buried in the soil, his eyes blurred, and his vitality was quickly lost.
The immortal in white clothes landed on the ground and said without sadness or joy: "Congratulations, you have heard the truth."
He was unable to answer. He just stared blankly at the earth that was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. Water produced wood, wood produced fire, fire produced earth, and soil produced metal.
A formless Tao evolves.
Feng Wa.
and I?
Qiu Wuji, who had fallen into the mud, raised his hand with difficulty, and a white light that transcended heaven and earth turned into a sword. The sword was simple and plain, without any aura or power.
But it was what he dreamed of.
Enlightenment!
He held the plain sword in his arms, treating it like a treasure, and said softly:
“His name is Taishang.”
It originates from Wuji and returns to Taishang.
A gust of wind blew by, leaving only a simple sword.
The Immortal in Bai Yi picked up the Taishang Sword, brushed off the dust on it, and read out the last sentence, saying: "I will die at night."
Qiu Wuji, the second person in the history of heaven and earth to achieve Taoism through strength.
