Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 8: Embark on the road to immortality
When he woke up, Tang Jie found himself lying on the bed in the back room.
Turning over and sitting up, he saw Xu Muyang standing in front of a desk not far from him, writing with a pen.
Without looking back, Xu Muyang said: "Lie back, your jade gate has just opened, the spiritual platform is not stable yet and needs to be strengthened."
As he raised his hand, a talisman paper flew out from under his pen and was attached to Tang Jie.
At this time, he realized that when he looked at the world, his feelings were completely different. Everything around him suddenly became clear. The colors were so bright, the air was so beautiful, and there seemed to be inexhaustible energy in his body. strength.
"Brother Xu, are you saying that I can become an immortal?" Tang Jie asked in surprise.
"Qualification-wise... yes."
"Great!" Tang Jie wanted to jump up excitedly, but just as he moved, the talisman on his body suddenly flashed with light. Tang Jie was immediately unable to move and lay back down again.
"I told you to stop moving." Xu Muyang turned around and tapped Tang Jie a few times with the wolf hair in his hand. He saw streaks of light appearing in the air, entangling Tang Jie like threads. live.
"Brother Xu, this is..." Tang Jie was puzzled.
"Small spirit binding technique can temporarily restrain the movement of spiritual energy in your body. Your spiritual energy went wild last night, which caused great damage to your meridians. You need to nourish and recuperate before you can officially practice. Just rest well these two days, Anyang Mansion Over there, I have asked for leave for you." Xu Muyang said calmly.
Speaking of this, Xu Muyang put down the wolf hair and sat next to Tang Jie. Looking at Tang Jie, he smiled slightly and said: "The fifth rank of Yumen, with a medium appearance, is not bad. The most rare thing is that you are alone Breaking through and being able to do this is an amazing feat of perseverance."
The fifth turn of the Jade Gate means that Tang Jie’s Jade Gate opened to the fifth level,
The Jade Gate of Lingtai is divided into three grades: upper, middle and lower. The lower grade is considered to be lower than the third rank, and the upper grade is higher than the seventh rank.
Tang Jie Yumen Rank 5 is considered to be a middle-grade person among the middle-grade people. Although he is not an amazingly talented person, he is definitely not a loser.
Hearing what Xu Muyang said at this moment, Tang Jie remembered that he was in a daze last night, and under the guidance of Xu Muyang, he drew his energy and rushed through the door. It seemed that he had indeed opened the fifth level door.
The pain caused by rushing through the door itself was huge. Even though he had an adult will and amazing perseverance, he only rushed to the fifth level. When he hit the fifth level, he passed out directly and finally stopped at the Jade Gate. Five stages.
"Unfortunately, after all, my perseverance was weak and I couldn't persevere." Tang Jie felt very regretful.
Xu Muyang already smiled and said: "If your perseverance is not good, no one in the world can do it. Climbing the door cannot be accomplished by perseverance alone, Yumen Tiansuo, but different people have different levels of imprisonment. Some people are born with closed doors, and even if they rush into the explosive body with spiritual energy, they may not be able to open one. After all, the spiritual energy that can be contained in a mortal body is limited."
Brushing the door requires spiritual energy, and the amount of spiritual energy that mortals can hold is limited. Therefore, what determines the degree of opening of the door, in addition to the perseverance of the person who rushes the door, also depends on how tightly the door is closed. Under the same impact force, the looser the door, the more it will open.
Therefore, the process of rushing through the door involves both innate aptitude and acquired hard work.
Tang Jie's innate qualifications are not good, but his strong will is far beyond ordinary people.
This allows him to exert his power almost 100% in the goal attack.
Many cultivating disciples may have the qualifications to reach the top level, but they often cry and cower due to unbearable pain during the impact process, wasting their spiritual energy and causing their level to drop.
Due to various reasons of qualifications and perseverance, very few disciples of cultivating immortals can possess high-grade Jade Gate, and most of them are of middle or lower grade. Therefore, the fifth rank of Jade Gate sounds ordinary, but in fact, among the vast majority of disciples cultivating immortals, , he is already considered to have good qualifications.
After hearing Xu Muyang’s explanation, Tang Jie suddenly understood, and a lot of his original regrets were eliminated.
However, Xu Muyang nodded dissatisfied: "If it were someone else's Yumen Rank 5, I might feel good about it, but you are different. What you used to rush through the door was specially created by Jiuli Soldier Lord for your own reincarnation. It’s really unreasonable to say that the door-rushing technique can only reach this level.”
"Who is the Jiuli Soldier Master? Is he a great person?" Tang Jie asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, Xu Muyang's face darkened when he heard this: "The great power of Jiuli Bingzhu in the world is an existence that transcends Immortal Terrace and is free in all worlds. When he was alive, even mentioning his name would cause confusion. His induction. The world is afraid of his power and only calls him the Master of War but dare not call his name. Even if he has fallen now, you, a little mortal, cannot question him."
Tang Jie's face straightened as he taught him a lesson, and he respectfully replied: "Yes, I know I was wrong."
Seeing that he was humble and accepting of teachings, Xu Muyang was satisfied: "Well, it's not your fault. After all, you are new to the immortal sect and you don't understand many things. I will teach you some things about it in the past two days. It’s something you should pay attention to in the world of cultivating immortals.”
Tang Jie was overjoyed to hear that Xu Muyang wanted to officially accept him as his disciple, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, master."
Unexpectedly, Xu Muyang waved his hand: "Don't call me master, I won't accept you as my apprentice."
Tang Jie was stunned, Xu Muyang said again: "You don't have to be disappointed, I don't accept you as my disciple, it's for your own good. First of all, I am being hunted. Although I have escaped temporarily, my enemy will be afraid that sooner or later If I accept you as my disciple, I will drag you down. Secondly, you are from Wenxin country. Wenxin country is under the jurisdiction of Xiyue sect. I accepted Wenxin people as my disciple without the permission of Xiyue sect. It doesn’t make sense. Thirdly, I was born in the Xu family, and everything I have learned is inherited from the family. If you are not a close relative of flesh and blood, you should not pass it on lightly. If you pass it on to you, you will be violating the family rules. Fourthly, the Xiyue Sect is one of the six major sects in Qixia, a famous and authentic sect. , no matter the background or inheritance, it is much stronger than the Xu family. Instead of learning from me, you might as well join the Xiyue Sect as the right path."
Tang Jie did not expect that the immortals would have so many rules and regulations to accept a disciple. Only then did he understand why Xu Muyang had been reluctant to accept him before.
Xu Muyang already said: "But you and I are destined to get together. Although I can't accept you as my disciple, I can still teach you something. When I recover from my injury in a few days, I will take you there. Wanquan City, I will try to help you enter the Xiyue Academy under the jurisdiction of the Xiyue Sect, and put an end to this cause and effect."
When Xu Muyang said this, Tang Jie knew that it was impossible to worship Xu Muyang as his teacher, so he could only nod his head and say: "Thank you, Brother Xu!"
Xu Muyang laughed loudly: "Since you recognize me as your eldest brother, I naturally can't let you not even know who my eldest brother is. Forget it, let me start with you and tell you about the world of cultivating immortals. matter."
Xu Muyang was born in Moqiu’s Xu family, one of the four major immortal cultivating families in Moqiu, Konggu Mingxu, and the Xu family ranked fourth. Xu Muyang is the third son of the head of the family, Xu Huaili. He has an older brother, an older sister, and a younger sister. Coming from an aristocratic family, Xu Muyang was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.
Compared with his brothers and sisters, Xu Muyang can be regarded as a genius. He rushed to the door at the age of nine and opened the door seven times. He was once recognized by the head of the family as the next head of the family.
But Xu Muyang soon disappointed his father.
Xu Muyang has no interest in the Xu family's most powerful magical skills such as the Seven Fantasy of Heaven and the Dongxu Sutra. Instead, he is naturally obsessed with battle formations and is proficient in the evolution of Yishu.
Although each of the four assistants of the Immortal Family and the alchemy array are extremely important, there is absolutely no such thing as a top alchemist who can boss around high-level immortal cultivators.
Strength is auxiliary, and status can only be auxiliary.
It is definitely impossible to run a team copy without a priest, but how many priests can be the boss?
The priest is still an auxiliary after all, and the alchemist and his like can only be regarded as logistics.
Which logistics officer can command on the battlefield?
The world of immortality is a world where fists are king. Even if you have the only elixir in the world and make me unhappy, you will still be slapped to death!
Therefore, for monks with strong auxiliary logistics capabilities, the immortal cultivators will be polite when they should be polite, and respect when they should be respected, but these things will never turn into real authoritative power.
The Xu family is considered to be the pinnacle of existence in Moqiu. They have various formation masters, alchemy masters, talisman masters, and weapon refiners under their command. There is no need for the future family master to know these in person.
So the way of the Alchemy Formation is not bad, but at best it is just a "good job". It is the pursuit of civilian immortal cultivators, but it should not be the pursuit of the heirs of big families.
So Xu Huaili was quite angry at Xu Muyang's "not doing his job properly", but Xu Muyang just refused to change his nature.
He can be regarded as a genius. As he practiced all the way, he really shined in the way of formation, and soon became the number one formation master in Moqiu. As for the cultivation of his state of mind that day, it was only because of the old man's force. He was promoted incidentally to meet the needs of refining advanced formations.
For most immortal cultivators in the world, the state of mind may already be their biggest pursuit in life, but for Xu Muyang... it is just incidental.
However, precisely because of this, his actual combat power among the real people in Tianxinjing is not outstanding.
Although Xu Muyang's formation abilities are getting stronger and stronger, his status in the family is getting lower and lower.
The old family master was completely disappointed with him in the end. He ignored him and simply let him practice the formation in peace. After being ignored by the Xu family, Xu Muyang did not lose heart, but continued to study his formation. His attainments in this area increased day by day, and his reputation even spread throughout the Qixia world.
It was at this time that Xu Muyang received a very special invitation. It was because of this invitation that he was seriously injured and wandered around the world.
Xu Muyang didn't say what the specific matter was, but considering the causes and consequences, Tang Jie could think of something, and I'm afraid it was related to the Jiuli Soldier Master.
"The period of being ignored was probably the happiest time in my life. Although many people regretted that I lost the position of inheritance, I never thought about inheriting the Xu family... I am not suitable. "Xu Muyang Youyou said: "It is not easy to manage a big family. Sometimes you have to pay a lot of price. I don't want to lose those... In order not to lose, I would rather not get it."
"In order not to lose, I would rather not gain..." Tang Jie savored these words carefully and thought thoughtfully: "Does that mean that if you want to gain, you must lose?"
"Yes!" Xu Muyang replied: "You are different from me. You are a person who can lose in order to gain. This has been confirmed since I learned that you are from Xiaohe Village. 138 people in Xiaohe Village You died tragically, but you still had the intention to lie to me at that time. If you are not born with ruthlessness and righteousness, or you have absolute self-control. Do you know that these two temperaments will bring great threats to you?"
"Threat?" Tang Jie was puzzled.
"Yes, it's the Heart Demon Tribulation!" Xu Muyang then told Tang Jie about the Heart Demon Tribulation.
This was the first time Tang Jie knew about the Heart Demon Jie, and then he understood why he had so successfully deceived Xu Muyang.
"During cultivation, the consciousness of the original heart will gradually appear in the cultivation of immortals. From the beginning of the emergence of the original heart, all the things that have been done against the original heart will be imprinted on the original heart moment by moment. Until the great calamity of inner demons When the time comes, one thought turns into a demon, which is the calamity of inner demons."
"According to this, if you want to survive this tribulation of inner demons, wouldn't it be that the worse your character is, the better? The lower the bottom line, the less likely you are to lose your heart, and the easier it will be to survive the tribulation of inner demons?" Tang Jie was shocked. ~IndoMTL.com~ So it is said that the disaster will last for thousands of years. He is unscrupulous, eager for quick success, and kills people at every turn... It can be seen from this that the path to immortality is dangerous. ”
"Wouldn't this world of immortality become a world of wolves, tigers and leopards?"
"That won't happen. Chaos leads to rule, and people are for themselves. Although ruthless and unjust people may have great strength, no one will like them. Not to mention orthodox immortal cultivators who don't like it, even people of the same kind don't like it. They will like each other. These people are like ligers and tigers, it is difficult to get together because they can't trust anyone."
"It's true that villains have to be mixed among good people to have a future. If the whole world is filled with villains, villains will have no future." Tang Jie said with a smile.
Although giving up the bottom line can achieve quick results, it is unpopular. Although the world of immortality is cruel, it is also orderly and cannot tolerate such disasters.
And depravity is a habit. Once you do it, it is difficult to go back.
It's like you take pleasure in killing people.
Then you don’t violate your conscience when you kill people, but you violate it when you don’t kill people.
This means that you have to kill all the way - which is tantamount to courting death.
Therefore, it is actually more difficult to be a bad person all your life than to be a good person all your life.
"So when I say you deceived me, I am asking if you have violated your true intentions. If you act without a bottom line in the future, you will be wrathed by God and people. Although the matter is not big, in the long run, it will accumulate. So ask yourself , regarding the matter of deceiving me, if I never knew about it, will you feel guilty in the future? If so, how much?"
Tang Jie thought very seriously and asked himself repeatedly.
After thinking for a while, Tang Jie raised his head and replied: "I will act in a measured manner in the future, but in this matter, although I deceived Brother Xu, I will not feel any guilt. This matter has not crossed the bottom line, and I have nothing to do with it. Losing money!"
Xu Muyang was stunned.
He looked at Tang Jie and said after a while: "This bottom line... is really a bit low."
