Chapter 268: Enlightenment Begins, Battle of Emperor Wu
"Thirty thousand years old? Still in the growth stage?"
Lin Haotian's eyes lit up and he immediately became interested.
Jiang Jian was more concerned about the affairs of the Ling princess and Emperor Dajing, and continued to ask Lingfeng about the matter. Lingfeng told him everything he knew, and it didn't seem like a lie, which made Jiang Jian feel relieved.
He changed his mind and couldn't help but laugh at himself.
With grandpa in charge of Dajing, how could Dajing be in chaos?
Lin Haotian looked at Jiang Jian and said, "Go ahead. If it succeeds, you can let the emperor try it. If the elixir of immortality is successfully refined, you and I can also ask him for it."
Who doesn’t want to live longer? Lin Haotian is a person who believes in miracles and thinks nothing is impossible. The elixir of life seems impossible, but as long as someone keeps studying it, they will always succeed.
Jiang Jian hesitated for a moment, but nodded in agreement.
Seeing that they agreed, Ling Feng smiled and said quickly: "I will lead the way for you, but I will not participate in the battle. I am too weak."
Lin Haotian and Jiang Jian had no objections, but they were still a little wary of Ling Feng.
…
Two years passed, and it was four years of Changle.
Under the emperor's promotion, the ways of literature and martial arts prevailed, countless talented men and beautiful women practiced the ways of literature and martial arts, and there were singing and dancing pavilions in every city in Tianjing.
The emperor began to focus on developing Shuntian City, which was built by Jingtian Sect in the past, and wanted to build Shuntian City into a real city of bliss. He could not make big moves in the capital, because his ministers did not want the trend to go too far. The capital was the power center of Dajing, and it had to retain a bit of solemnity, which was also a respect for the previous emperors of Dajing.
After Jiang Qing ascended the throne, he did win a lot of popular support, mainly because there was no major chaos in Dajing and the lives of the people were enriched. After all, simply pursuing martial arts is so boring.
He even promoted many martial arts sports and launched various competitions. Even the martial arts world was stirred up by him. Of course, many martial artists from the old schools complained about it, thinking that this would delay many martial artists from practicing martial arts, but they did not dare to accuse the emperor in public and could only discuss it in private.
It has to be said that this dynasty made the world extremely lively. For Jiang Changsheng, the most obvious discovery was that the number of pilgrims to Longqi Temple had decreased.
Fortunately, his incense value was still growing fast, so he didn't care.
That day, in the evening.
Bai Qi led Huang Tian and Hei Tian into the courtyard. The three demons looked very proud, as if they had just returned from patrol.
"Master, many monsters have come to the capital. The trend of taming monsters has become popular recently. The streets and alleys are full of various monsters." Bai Qi said with a smile.
Jiang Changsheng was practicing martial arts and did not respond.
Bai Qi moved closer to Ji Wujun and told him what he had seen and heard today.
Warriors don't have divine consciousness. Even if they have excellent eyesight and hearing, they cannot spy on the situation in the city by sitting in the yard.
Jiang Changsheng practiced martial arts while observing the Taoist world.
Creatures such as the White Dragon and the Golden Crow are becoming stronger and stronger, and the weakest has already reached the Qiankun realm. This is mainly because they are extremely talented and can enjoy the vast spiritual energy of martial arts, so they become stronger very quickly.
Jiang Changsheng's eyes were fixed on a blade of grass under the Yuntian Divine Tree. The grass looked ordinary, but he could feel that the grass was absorbing spiritual energy.
This is not simple. Other flowers and plants are generating spiritual energy, but this one is absorbing it.
Jiang Changsheng suspected that it would develop intelligence. If successful, it would be the first native creature in the Taoist world.
However, under Jiang Changsheng's gaze, the grass suddenly withered and could no longer absorb spiritual energy.
Failed.
Jiang Changsheng was not disappointed, but very happy. After the first time, there will be a second time and many times. Continuous failures will eventually lead to success. At least it shows that the Tao world has begun to enter the stage of giving birth to living beings.
When the Taoist world becomes a real world, he can gain more incense points by simply showing his spirit, which will help his future practice.
There is no end to the Tao. Even if you become an immortal or god, you can definitely continue to practice.
Jiang Changsheng's small goal is to become an immortal, and his big goal is to become stronger and break through the levels.
Seeing the grass wither, Jiang Changsheng's thoughts fell into a mysterious state.
Ever since I went down the mountain to visit the Changle Festival, this situation has occurred frequently.
He called it enlightenment.
Enlightenment is not a sudden realization or a rise in realm, but a realization of the great way. What is the great way? Everything in the world is the great way.
For those who practice Taoism, seeing different things and having different experiences can all lead to enlightenment. Enlightenment with the heart can help improve one's state of mind, and an open state of mind can provide feedback to the soul.
This is an extraordinary way of cultivation. Unlike martial arts and ordinary cultivation of immortals, it only relies on tempering the body with spiritual energy, absorbing qi to practice, and making oneself stronger through the state of mind.
Perhaps this is the practice method that must be involved in the Taoist Natural Gong. The ninth level is to refine the soul.
As Jiang Changsheng entered a state of enlightenment, spiritual energy from heaven and earth surged into his body, forming a whirlwind around him, alarming Ji Wujun and the three demons.
There are many kinds of spiritual energy in this world. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is the purest and most primitive. It is usually suppressed by the spiritual energy of martial arts, but it does not mean that it does not exist. Only Jiang Changsheng can mobilize it. When the spiritual energy of heaven and earth surges, it will naturally cause waves.
Bai Qi asked excitedly: "Master is about to break through again?"
Ji Wujun said nothing, staring at Jiang Changsheng, feeling very surprised.
It’s only been so many years since I last overcame the tribulation. This goes by too fast.
Could it be that this is the reincarnation of an immortal, and he just took the path to becoming stronger again, which is equivalent to recovering his strength, so it is so fast?
Under their gaze, Jiang Changsheng looked calm, so quiet and harmonious, as if he had merged into one with the world.
…
Above the boundless ocean, two figures faced each other in mid-air.
It was Emperor Wu Ren and the sloppy old man who wanted to take Lin Haotian as his disciple. The two were secretly competing with each other, causing the sea of clouds to stagnate.
Emperor Wu Ren had a blank expression on his face and said, "Are you the same as me?"
The scruffy old man grinned and said, "Yes, you should be able to feel that you and I are the only beings in this world. You and I should join forces to create more beings like us."
Emperor Wu Ren's eyes flickered as he said, "What kind of existence am I? I can't remember why I was born, but I have instinctive habits for many things, just like now, you and I can communicate, which itself makes me incomprehensible."
The slovenly old man laughed out loud and said, "I had the same confusion as you at the beginning. It took me hundreds of years to figure it out. This is God's will. It is the spirituality given to us by God. We are born with powerful power over all living beings. We are born to understand everything and have extremely high intelligence. We are the most perfect creations, but we are too perfect, so there are very few like us. We can't reproduce like other creatures, but I have thought of a way, and I need your help."
"I have investigated you. Your predecessor was called Emperor Wu Ren, who was the Emperor of Heaven and Earth. The premise of our birth is the death of the Emperor of Heaven and Earth. Throughout history, there have been too many Emperors of Heaven and Earth. If you and I can revive them, we can become a tribe. Even if we cannot reproduce, we are eternal. We can rule over all tribes in heaven and earth and become the gods imagined by the world!"
After hearing this, Emperor Wu Ren's eyes flashed with terrifying light.
He stared at the slovenly old man and said, "If we become a clan, who will be the head of the clan? Between you and me, who will be respected?"
The slovenly old man smiled conceitedly: "Of course I am the one who is respected!"
"But you're not as strong as me. I can feel it."
"That's just skill and strength. I have mastered all the martial arts of the physical body. You are no match for me, and I am confident that I will become even stronger in the future."
"Yeah?"
Emperor Wu Ren's aura is growing stronger.
The slovenly old man shook his head and laughed: "If that's the case, then let's fight."
boom!
Emperor Wu Ren burst out with a terrifying aura, which caused the sea surface below to sink, forming a huge and magnificent whirlpool. The sea of clouds above was dispersed and rolled in all directions of the world.
A strong wind blew in his face, but the sloppy old man did not panic. Instead, he smiled with satisfaction.
"Then I'll show you the most powerful fighting spirit in the Middle Ages !"
…
Under the Earth Spirit Tree, Jiang Changsheng opened his eyes and turned to look to the south.
He could feel two forces more powerful than the Seven Demon Saints fighting each other.
Emperor Wu!
It’s the two resurrected Martial Emperors!
Jiang Changsheng used his Infinite Eyes of Heaven and Earth to look around. His gaze passed through the sea areas, and the sky and earth shrank. He quickly caught sight of the two Martial Emperors.
The battle between Emperor Wu and the Seven Demon Saints was earth-shattering and far surpassed the previous battle between Emperor Wu Ren and the Seven Demon Saints.
At that time, Emperor Wu Ren stopped too early, and the seven demon saints did not use their full strength due to the furnace of heaven and earth.
At this moment, Emperor Wu Ren and the sloppy old man were fighting with all their might, causing huge waves in the sea within a million miles, affecting distant islands and continents.
Emperor Wu Ren was obviously stronger than before, and he even mastered a set of boxing techniques. Each of his punches could mobilize martial arts energy and unleash terrifying power.
The sloppy old man was even more powerful and entered a violent state, which was very similar to the Prison Heaven Fighting Intent that Mu Lingluo had inherited before. However, compared to the Prison Heaven Fighting Intent, the sloppy old man's fighting intent contained an extreme murderous intent. His worth was lower than that of Emperor Wu Ren, but he was able to suppress Emperor Wu Ren in a fight.
"This old man is not simple."
Jiang Changsheng thought silently that he had no intention of intervening. If he intervened now, there would be no survival reward, so it would be better to let it go.
On the endless ocean, more and more powerful people feel the pressure of the battle with the Martial Emperor.
Bai Zun, who was far away on a continent, opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the sky, and frowned.
"Such a powerful aura, even more powerful than the previous Holy Dynasty Martial Emperor, without a trace of demonic aura. Could it be that Emperor Wu Ren was fighting with that being? Why were they fighting?"
Bai Zun murmured to himself, feeling a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.
Ever since Emperor Wu Ren lost control and that being broke his promise, he felt more and more that the demons were not the most terrifying enemy of the human race. The war between humans and demons was just the beginning of an unprecedented darkness.
This battle lasted for several days, and in the end even Ji Wujun felt the pressure.
I have to say that the Emperor Realm of Heaven and Earth is indeed powerful.
One person is enough to sink an entire continent!
They are only at the first level of the Heaven and Earth Emperor Realm, and they don’t know how powerful the tenth level of the Heaven and Earth Emperor Realm is?
Thinking of this, Jiang Changsheng immediately calculated the strongest person within the detection range of the system.
