Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 8: New students

As the spiritual tide surges, clouds and mist rise into the sky.

It condenses on the top of the Shuiyue Cave and turns into raindrops.

As a result, there was a downpour in the entire Shuiyue Cave.

Tang Jie didn't know how much spiritual power a real soul-changing person had.

But he knew at this moment, Luo Han had really returned to this world after his lifelong cultivation.

The spiritual tide lasted for a long time before it dissipated.

When the spiritual tide dissipated, the clouds gathered and the rain stopped, Tang Jie no longer saw Luo Han in person, only a purple shirt and a wine bottle remained. As for the cases, they were all changed by magic and no longer remain. .

Maybe it’s because he went into the cave to wait for death, and there was nothing else.

However, the wine bottle looks obviously extraordinary and should be regarded as a treasure.

Tang Jie was not moved. He stepped forward and put away the purple shirt and wine bottle, then walked out of the stone steps and walked towards the thousand-year-old field.

This is the first time he has walked out of the stone steps. According to the rules of Shuiyue Cave, practitioners entering the cave are not allowed to go up the stone steps, just like farmhouse disciples are not allowed to go up the stone steps. Although they are in the same place, they are as separated as two world.

But at this moment, Tang Jie broke the rules.

Because he wanted to fulfill his promise to bury Luo Hanzhen and send him to his death.

Although you only have one long gown, you should still set up a tomb.

The tomb of the Xiyue Sect’s Guixu people is on a hillside in the mountains.

There are countless tombstones standing densely here. In the past, the disciples of the farm hall were responsible for collecting the tombstones, but this time it was an exception.

The farmhouse disciples did not interfere, but stood aside and watched Tang Jie carrying his clothes across the long field.

Tang Jie walked very slowly and lightly.

Just walked all the way and came to the tombs.

Zhao Hui stepped forward and pointed to one of the tombs and said: "This is the location of Zhenren Luo."

If there was no Tang Jie, Luo Hanzhen might just return to the ruins here.

He died here, and his clothes fell into the ground there, so it was neat and tidy.

Now there is one more time to send off the filial son.

Tang Jie walked to the tomb and placed the purple-shirted wine bottle.

One of his disciples stepped forward to fill in the soil, but Tang Jie took over and said, "I promised senior to see him off, so I'll do this."

Several farm disciples stood back together, and Tang Jie filled up the soil with shovel after shovel.

Wait until the filling is level and then erect a tombstone. After everything is completed, Tang Jie respectfully kowtows to the tomb three times.

After finishing all this, Tang Jie took a long breath and said: "Thank you to my senior brothers for not stopping me."

Zhao Hui said hurriedly: "Junior brother saw you off in person, how can we stand in the way. However, you left the stone platform and stepped onto the hillside, which finally broke the rules. We have to repay this."

"It doesn't matter." Tang Jie nodded and replied, "Senior brother is just doing his duty."

According to the rules of Xiyue, if you leave the stone platform without permission, if there is no illegal mining, you will be punished with at least 3,000 points of contribution, which means that the time will be directly reduced by ten days, even if it is necessary for the end, the rules are the rules, these ten days It is also necessary to deduct it.

Sure enough that night, the monkey appeared, made a mark on Tang Jie's eyebrows, told him that ten days had passed, and then disappeared. In fact, this monkey probably knew that Tang Jie had exceeded the rules, and was just pretending to wait for his disciples to report it. If Zhao Hui didn't report it, he would also be in trouble.

Tang Jie didn't care and just continued to practice.

He has stayed in Shuiyue Cave for more than seventy days. He could have stayed in Shuiyue Cave for more than thirty days. After this deduction, there were still more than twenty days, so Tang Jie spent the next time day and night. of penance.

As his cultivation deepened, he grew older and older, and his energy and blood gradually declined to the extreme.

Tang Jie knew that the day when the mortal body would die completely was not far away.

On this day, Tang Jie was still practicing when he suddenly felt a sense of suffocation and saw a flower in front of him.

Then he could no longer hold himself up and fell softly to the ground.

He knew that this was a sign before the mortal body was about to die.

He just lay there quietly, countless past memories flashing through his mind.

Scenes from the past flashed before my eyes, as if the old days were reappearing.

A smile appeared on Tang Jie's "old" face.

He closed his eyes, his heart gradually stopped beating, and his chest stopped rising and falling, as if he was dead.

Under normal circumstances, Tang Jie's body would die and his consciousness would fall asleep.

But Tang Jie is different from others, he has one soul and two bodies.

Even if this clone truly dies, its consciousness will not decrease.

This makes him a little different from others at this moment.

When the mortal body was about to die, his consciousness did not fall into a deep sleep, but rather rose up.

Tang Jie felt that his soul was leaping, leaving his old body and looking down at himself from the air.

He saw his own body.

Old, decayed, stale, with a strong air of death.

Yes, this is his body dying.

Tang Jie clearly felt the process of life dying. He watched his own flower of life wither, and watched his body move towards decay and death step by step.

No one knows his body better than him, so no one can understand the whole process of death more clearly than him.

At that moment, Tang Jie suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart. He had a more substantial understanding of life and death. He didn't know what it was, but just then, a gust of wind blew.

Brush the "corpse" on the platform.

The silver hair on his head fell off, and his old skin peeled off like eggshells.

Bringing up dust and sand all over the sky.

In the flying dust, Tang Jie felt that a strong vitality was resurrecting from the dead body.

It was a power that had never been seen before, growing vigorously like a seed sprouting. Unlike the body that had died before, it was full of powerful vitality.

New life!

The rebirth of the spirit body!

Tang Jie saw that after the old corpse disappeared, a brand new Tang Jie appeared. He had no longer the old appearance, but he seemed to have returned to his childhood. Even his head was much smaller.

So...is that so?

At that moment Tang Jie finally understood.

This is life and death!

This is life!

At this moment, the cycle of life has actually been completed.

In the process of understanding this reincarnation, Tang Jie had unintentionally glimpsed the avenue of life.

Perhaps for this reason, Tang Jie's body suddenly emitted a large amount of light.

With his mind sinking, Tang Jie on the ground opened his eyes.

"Huh..." He took a long breath.

The mortal body dies and the spirit body lives!

At this time, Tang Jie was finally reborn and completed the final transformation from mortal to spiritual.

The newborn spiritual body is like a newborn baby. Although it still retains the appearance of an adult, it is essentially the same as a baby and is in urgent need of growth.

Growth is always more difficult than death, so the growth time of a spiritual body is longer than the aging and death period of a mortal body.

This period is also the most important stage for reshaping the spirit body. The quality of the external environment directly determines the purity of the spirit body in the future. The higher the purity of the spirit body, the greater its strength and potential for future development. .

Being able to reshape the spiritual body in an environment like Shuiyue Cave is undoubtedly what every cultivator longs for.

Unfortunately, Tang Jie didn't have enough time. There were only ten days left to rebuild his spiritual body.

Ten days were ultimately too short for the long process of reshaping the spiritual body. Tang Jie could only comfort himself with a wry smile: "Something is better than nothing. Besides, I have gained a little understanding of life." It’s worth it.”

When the spirit body was reborn, Tang Jie finally understood the way of life, so the moment his mind returned to his body, it also affected him invisibly. The way of life is the way of vitality, so at that moment, this spiritual body first had a strong vitality that far exceeded that of ordinary people.

To put it more realistically, life expectancy is greatly extended.

Because the mortal body will eventually die, it is meaningless how many years it can live. However, after cultivating the spiritual body, the life span of the cultivator has meaning. First of all, the life span is greatly extended, usually to a thousand years.

Of course, this is a millennium without loss. Years of fighting, hidden injuries, and obsession during practice may all damage your vitality.

In addition, some powerful spells may also be related to vitality.

For this reason, the life of a cultivator cannot be completely linked to the realm. From another perspective, their life is a kind of expendable capital. The longer the life, the higher the capital. As for the previous mortal body, it was not even qualified to be consumed.

Therefore, in the world of cultivation, there are many people with high realms and long lifespans who die of old age before those with low realms and short lifespans. The reason is that they consume too much of their own capital.

Like Luo Hanzhen, he has exhausted all this capital.

As for Tang Jie, he had just acquired this new capital.

While reshaping his spiritual body and gaining a thousand years of life, his lifespan was directly extended by two hundred years due to the enlightenment of life. This is just the beginning. If there is similar growth in the future, those who understand the way of life will gain more lives. This is the benefit of understanding the way of life, simple and direct.

A thousand-year spiritual body is just the beginning. As the spiritual body grows, lifespan will continue to increase.

Generally speaking, the life span of a truly complete spiritual body can be increased by ordinary cultivators to about 1,800 years; if it grows into a complete body in the Water Moon Cave, it can be increased by 30%. That is to say, the lifespan of 2,400 years; for those like Tang Jie who have understood a little about the way of life, it will be increased by 20%, that is, about 2,900 years, and some elixirs that can increase life span will be added. , it will reach three thousand years of life.

It's a pity that this can only be thought about after all.

The Three Withering Tribulation is also known as the Thirty Year Tribulation, which means that under normal circumstances it would take thirty years to survive this calamity.

From life to death, it takes five years for the mortal body to die; from death to life, it takes twenty-five years for the spiritual body to grow.

Twenty-five years is the twenty-five-year-old life, which is also the youngest and most glorious moment of a person, that is, the complete spiritual body.

Tang Jie was able to go from life to death in sixty days in Shuiyue Cave, thanks to the blessing of three elixirs. Now that the medicine has been used up and there is no time, in ten days, he can only take small steps forward. .

However, Tang Jie has completely thought about this and no longer pursues perfection. The worst he can do is stop at 600 meters and practice for another twenty years after leaving. For practitioners, more than twenty years is just a blink of an eye, which is not surprising.

With this thought, Tang Jie continued to practice.

The ten days passed in a flash.

This day was the one hundred and three days since Tang Jie came to Shuiyue Cave, and it was also the last day that he could stay in the cave.

According to the rules, after the time is up, Tang Jie will be automatically teleported away from Shuiyue Cave.

Tang Jie was still meditating on the platform.

Perhaps because he knew that his departure was imminent, although Tang Jie was practicing, his thoughts were somewhat unfocused. In fact, he was just taking this opportunity to quietly wait for the teleportation to arrive.

Time passed little by little.

The expected delivery never arrived.

There is no sun or moon in the Shuiyue Cave, but there is light from the sky.

When the light rises, it works; when the light twilight, it rests.

Tang Jie watched as the light in the sky faded and the disciples from the farm hall gradually dispersed. He was the only one in the entire mountain, but no one told him to leave.

I was surprised, and after thinking for a while, I finally said to heaven: "Disciple Tang Jie has been in Shuiyue Cave for one hundred and three days, and the time has expired. I wonder why senior hasn't teleported away yet?"

For a moment, the monkey's laughter came from the dome sky: "Hehehehe, if the time comes, the mark between your eyebrows will tell you to leave. If I don't send you away, the time has not yet come, and you are like this Why are you in a hurry? Of course, if you want to leave, our family won't let you stay. It's up to you whether you go or stay."

Tang Jie was stunned, wondering if he had miscalculated the time?

But this is impossible. Since he came to this cave, he has clearly remembered the time every day. He is a person who has understood the way of wisdom, so it is impossible for him to remember such things wrongly.

Did the monkey forget to detain him for ten days?

But it's impossible. At that time, he saw the monkey appear and pointed at the mark between his eyebrows and said that ten days had been deducted.

Wait...

An idea flashed in Tang Jie's mind.

Tang Jie took a long breath and said, "In that case, how long can I ask this disciple to stay in this cave?"

The monkey hesitated for a moment, and then sighed: "You are smart, you asked the right question this time. Why don't you see your mark for yourself."

As he spoke, a ray of skylight suddenly fell from the sky. If the light had substance, it appeared in front of Tang Jie's eyes and gradually condensed into a mirror.

Then Tang Jie saw himself in the mirror, his eyebrows shining brightly.

He clearly remembered that the flash of light represented the number of days since he entered the cave.

The brighter the light, the longer the number of days, and it will gradually dim as the time of stay. When there is no light at all, it is the time to be sent away from the cave.

Just yesterday, Tang Jie felt that the mark between his eyebrows had dimmed to the point where there was almost no trace of brilliance. At this moment, it was as bright as the scorching sun at noon, many times brighter than when he entered the cave that day.

"This is..."

"Hey hey hey!" The monkey's mean laughter sounded again: "Who else could it be? It is naturally the contribution that Luo Hanzhen left for you."

Despite the speculation, Tang Jie was still shocked: "Senior Luo!"

The monkey said: "Did you take this adopted son for nothing? Of course I want to give you some benefits. Don't tell me you didn't guess."

Tang Jie calmed down and replied: "I might have made some guesses at the beginning, but I haven't seen any benefit after so many days, so naturally I didn't think it would happen again. I didn't expect today..."

The monkey already smiled and said: "That's no good, but he was detained for ten days in vain. Aren't you resentful?"

"Resentment? How is that possible?" Tang Jie smiled: "I send Senior Zhongluo away to respect his lifelong devotion to the sect. After ten days, although I regret it, I feel comfortable. If I send Zhongluo away, I will not get the inheritance. If you want to criticize the heaven and the earth, it is better not to be such a filial son. Although I, Tang Jie, may be hypocritical and deceitful, I mostly do it to enemies and outsiders, and I will never do such things to my own people."

"Hahahaha!" The monkey's laughter finally became more normal: "Well said, I have watched you for a hundred days, but you have the intention to send it to the end, and have no intention of asking for it. I am respectful to Mr. Luo, and I have a pure heart. , this is a reward for you, practice well, and don’t let old Naluo down. That old man has left a lot of contributions for you. You can stay in this Shuiyue Cave for three hundred days. With this time , you can get through these three tribulations no matter what. After the three tribulations, you can just wait and see if you can climb to the top of Shuiyue Peak. Then you can go up and see for yourself, Mr. Luo left a message for you there. ."

That’s it.

Tang Jie finally understood.

Obviously, Luo Hanzhen had already agreed with the dead monkey before he left, that he would leave his contribution to Tang Jie in order to extend his time in the Water Moon Cave. But obviously, he also wanted to put Tang Jie to some tests. If Tang Jie ignored his instructions, or complained and cursed without seeing any benefit, nothing would happen. In fact, it was impossible for him to know that Luo Han really extended the number of days for him until Tang Jie ran out of time.

"But isn't the contribution not easily transferable?" Tang Jie asked.

The monkey continued to laugh strangely and said: "Hey hey hey, you also know that we can't transfer it easily. Luo Han is really the first deputy hall master of the Blood War Hall, the only one who is second to the Nineteenth Heavenly Leader, and he is here again this time. Xudongtian used his life to fulfill his final mission. How could the Xiyue Sect despise his instructions before his death, and how could he call them easy?"

Hearing this, Tang Jie also smiled bitterly: "Thank you, senior, for your guidance."

"That's all." The monkey said lazily: "Originally, you couldn't go to Shuiyue Peak on this trip anyway. Even though someone asked me to take care of you, I didn't bother to care. Now that you have this opportunity in the cave, you We are destined to go up the mountain. In that case, I will give you some pointers."

Someone asked you to take care of me? Tang Jie was stunned.

The monkey said: "Remember, if you want to go up to the next floor, you must not wait until the three withering tribulations are completely over before going up to the top of the mountain."

"What?" Tang Jie was slightly stunned.

The monkey ignored him and just continued: "The sooner you go up the mountain, the better... If you can't reach the top, you must at least go to the 750-meter high platform first."

After saying this, the monkey stopped talking completely.

At the 750-meter high platform?

Tang Jie remembered Luo Han's true words in his mind, and wanted to go to the 750-meter mark with him to observe Yunzu's handwriting.

Who is this Yun Zu~IndoMTL.com~ Tang Jie doesn’t know, but what he says is more important than going to the Yingyue Pool at the top of the mountain.

The brilliance of the mark gradually dissipated, gathering between the eyebrows, and could no longer be seen without thoughts.

But Tang Jie knew that this light would continue to shine on him until he successfully crossed Sanku.

He didn't understand what the monkey was saying, but he knew it wouldn't be a trap to harm him.

Since the monkey said he would go up the mountain before the Three Withering Tribulations are completely over, then he should work hard.

Although his current strength is not enough, his strength is recovering every day.

From the moment the spirit body was reborn, Tang Jie returned to the track of becoming stronger as he practiced.

He is still weak now, but it won't be long before he can surpass his former self and reach the top.

Looking at the top of the mountain, Tang Jie's eyes were filled with infinite confidence.

ps: Tang Jie is a secret hall, not a visiting hall. Sorry, I wrote it wrong.
