Chapter 677: The Realm of Earthly Immortals, the Foundation of Heavenly Immortals
One month later, early morning at Longhu Mountain.
Li Daoxuan was sitting cross-legged in meditation in the back mountain, bathing in the morning light. His whole body was emitting a surging glow, and wisps of lotus essence were flowing through his body.
There was even a strange phenomenon in Baihe Lake. Lotus flowers bloomed and the fragrance spread for miles. For a moment, it seemed as if lotus flowers were blooming all over the world.
Chen Ziyu was conceived from a ninth-grade immortal lotus, and she also cultivated the "Avalokitesvara Lotus Sutra", overcame the calamity and became an immortal. One can imagine how rich the lotus essence in her body is.
Although its quality is not as good as the innate Taiyin Qi of the Queen Mother of the West, it is already the best in the world and rare in the world.
The most important thing is that Chen Ziyu's lotus essence does not disappear all at once, but will recover slowly. She is simply the dream dual cultivation partner.
Over the past month, the two have been as inseparable as newlyweds. Li Daoxuan has been picking lotus flowers every night, and his mana has skyrocketed. His Eight-Nine Profound Arts has also progressed rapidly, and today, he is a little "full".
Because he had not yet achieved the Earthly Immortal Realm, the lotus essence in his body could no longer be refined and was stuck at this bottleneck.
"Sure enough, Longhu Mountain cannot allow me to attain the status of an earthly immortal..."
After a while, Li Daoxuan slowly opened his eyes, revealing a hint of disappointment.
If one wants to achieve earthly immortality, the most important thing is to find a treasured land with earth veins, refine the mysterious yellow energy, and extract the essence of the earth veins. Only then can one achieve immortality and lay the foundation for a celestial immortal.
It was once said in "The Collection of the Teachings of Zhong and Lu" that earthly immortals are half of heaven and earth, with the talents of gods and immortals, who live long in the world and never die in the human world.
Pangu created the world, clear air rose to become the sky, and turbid air sank to become the earth. The way to cultivate immortality is to become one with heaven and earth and realize the great way, so absorbing the energy of the earth's veins is a crucial step.
This is why many immortals in Taoism like to live in deep mountains and old forests. Although Chang'an is prosperous, it is full of worldly vulgarity, and the earth veins are turbid and cannot be refined.
Dharma, wealth, companions and place, the place here refers to the blessed land, which is not just a place to live, sometimes it is the key to spiritual practice.
The problem Li Daoxuan is facing now is the word "ground".
It is true that Mount Longhu is a blessed land, but too many earth immortals were born here. The most famous one is the Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling. When the elixir is made, dragons and tigers appear. The energy of the earth veins here was even used to make elixirs , and there is not much left.
Of course, the world is so big that there are always mountains that can be used.
Li Daoxuan knew that he had to find a treasure land to break through the earthly immortal realm. After becoming an earthly immortal, he was also ready to formally begin practicing the innate five-colored divine light.
He had seen the power of the Seven Treasures Magic Tree before, so he was naturally envious.
Kong Xuan's innate five-colored divine light is similar to the Seven Treasures Magic Tree. Once cultivated, Li Daoxuan's combat power will have a huge leap.
No matter how many magic weapons and supernatural powers you have, with the five-colored divine light, you can wipe out all things in the world!
You know, even the saint Zhunti who possessed the Seven Treasures Magic Tree was once taken in by Kong Xuan, but a saint is a saint after all, and he broke Kong Xuan's magical powers from the inside.
Li Daoxuan was very much looking forward to this magical power.
The red sun rises high, and the sky is full of bright rays of light.
A figure came flying in from the sky, with a graceful figure and a peerless face, holding a bamboo basket in his hand, which contained a pot of fine medicinal wine, brewed with morning dew and supplemented with wolfberry, ginseng, deer antler and other tonics.
Chen Ziyu was still wearing the cool red dress, but she had tied up her long black hair with a jade hairpin. A few strands of hair in front of her forehead fluttered in the mountain breeze, and her eyes were black and clear, like melted ice and snow.
Compared with her previous coldness, she was now more gentle and graceful, with an alluring brilliance in her every move, like a graceful lotus that had finally matured and bloomed.
"My dear, it's time to drink."
Li Daoxuan's heart trembled slightly.
Originally, there was nothing wrong with drinking, but ever since he found himself suffering from a bottleneck and unable to refine more lotus essence, he reduced the frequency of dual cultivation.
Sister Yu seemed to have misunderstood, and she went to discuss with her master's wife and Xiaobai in a mysterious manner. The three women put on a drama. After coming back, Sister Yu learned the method of making medicinal wine from somewhere, and added various tonic medicines to harmonize his yang energy and nourish his body.
Li Daoxuan said that he really didn't need it!
"Ma'am, maybe it's time for us to leave Longhu Mountain."
Chen Ziyu didn't have any objection, she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go wherever you go."
Li Daoxuan was a little worried and said, "Madam, are you not going to care about the Xiaoxiang Water Vein and the Qingming Realm?"
After all, Chen Ziyu is a god, not as free as him. With the priesthood, it is okay for her to take a vacation occasionally, but if she leaves the priesthood place for a long time, it will inevitably affect her faith.
In the past, one would even be held accountable by the Heavenly Court.
Becoming a god through burning incense is a shortcut, but it also means wearing an invisible golden hoop.
Chen Ziyu frowned slightly, thought about it seriously, and said: "My dear, why don't you accompany me back to Xiaoxiang, or go to Qingming Realm."
Li Daoxuan shook his head and said, "I will soon reach the Earthly Immortal Realm, and I must find a treasured land to break through."
Hearing this, Chen Ziyu's eyes showed a hint of joy, and she was sincerely happy for Li Daoxuan.
In terms of cultivation, she is no longer an ordinary person, but has become a big boss, so she understands more clearly what the fairyland means.
The so-called earth immortals are also called land immortals.
After becoming an earthly immortal, one can achieve immortality and roam freely in the mortal world. Although they do not hold office in the heavenly court, it is not because of their lack of ability, but because they have a free and easy temperament and do not like to be constrained.
Earthly immortals have long been qualified to ascend to heaven, but they are not interested in it and are only focused on pursuing the path to becoming celestial immortals.
The legendary ancestor of earthly immortals, Zhen Yuanzi, is so respectful that even the Queen Mother has to show respect to him.
Her husband is about to achieve the realm of earthly immortality, which means that immortality is within his reach and the path to heavenly immortality is within his reach. How can she not be proud of it?
"My dear, breaking through the realm is extremely important. I want to protect you."
Chen Ziyu's voice was not loud, but it was firm and unquestionable.
As for the Xiaoxiang Water Vein and the Qingming Realm... I'm sorry, let's put it aside for now.
Li Daoxuan felt warm in his heart, and he held her hand and said with a smile: "It's just right, let's travel around the world together and see if we can find a suitable treasure land."
Just think of it as a honeymoon trip after your wedding.
Over the years, Li Daoxuan has fought wars in the south and the north, slaying demons and eliminating monsters. Although he has been to many places, he has never had the leisure time. Now that the world is stable and peaceful, he can finally travel around.
Of course, in order to prevent their world of two from being disturbed, Li Daoxuan did not bring Xiaotian, Xiaobai and others with him, and let them guard Longhu Mountain.
…
The two set out from Mount Longhu and traveled all over the world, covering all the three mountains and five peaks.
Watch the sunrise at Mount Tai, the sunset at Mount Hua, the clouds and mist at Mount Wudang, the ancient temples at Mount Song, the tranquility at Mount Heng, the waterfalls at Mount Lu, and the snow lotus at Kunlun...
The two of them accompanied each other hand in hand along the way. They would help each other when they encountered injustice , and sometimes they would help herbalists who were in trouble in the mountains. Over time, it became a strange legend.
After being processed by some storytellers, it finally became a well-organized story.
According to legend, there is a pair of immortal lovers in heaven, the Sun, Moon and Star Gods, who are responsible for patrolling the human world and live in the mountains. The man is dressed in white and has a golden belt, and is handsome and elegant. The woman is as beautiful as a fairy, and is dressed in red.
Of course, for those who practice Taoism, it is very easy to guess the true identity of the immortal couple. Many people try to "encounter" them by chance, but those who are interested often fail. However, those who are not interested can meet them by chance, get elixirs or a few words of advice, and soar to the sky.
Half a year later.
Li Daoxuan and Sister Yu returned to Jiangnan West Road, but did not go to Longhu Mountain. Instead, they came to Jiujiang County and walked towards a certain direction.
After a while, they came to a mountain.
This mountain is not as majestic as Mount Tai or as precipitous as Mount Hua, but it has continuous mountains and a lofty atmosphere. From afar, it looks like a black dragon hidden in the clouds .
The Wulong Mountains are not particularly famous, but they made Li Daoxuan's heart pause and stop.
After seeing so many famous mountains, he didn't have any sudden inspiration in his heart. Although those so-called famous mountains had extraordinary scenery, they had more or less been refined by other earthly immortals.
Only the Wulong Mountains gave Li Daoxuan a special feeling. Looking at it, he felt inexplicably intimate, as if by chance, all the metal and stone had suddenly opened.
"Madam, this is the mountain."
Li Daoxuan finally made up his mind that he would break through to the Earthly Immortal Realm in the Wulong Mountains!
"Okay, I'll protect you."
Chen Ziyu was holding a lotus umbrella and was about to set up a formation when she was stopped by Li Daoxuan.
"Sister Yu, this is just a fairyland. Don't be nervous. Let's play a game of chess."
Li Daoxuan waved his hand casually, and the stone on the top of the mountain turned into a chessboard. As the chess pieces he picked up fell, the entire Wulong Mountain seemed to tremble slightly, and some wonderful changes took place.
The mountains were vaguely connected with him, becoming one with him, and a large amount of earth energy poured into Li Daoxuan's body.
The lotus mark between Chen Ziyu's eyebrows glowed with light. She had realized that this was not only a chessboard, but also a formation that intercepted the energy of the earth veins. Every time a piece was placed, it could mobilize the earth veins within a radius of hundreds of miles.
However, this formation requires two formation eyes, so that the earth energy can be completely blocked and prevented from escaping.
Li Daoxuan is one of them, and she is the second.
"This is the Thousand Miles Locking Veins Formation that I learned from Yuan Tiangang. His master tried to use this formation to fight against the heavenly tribulation, but unfortunately it failed in the end. Now it seems that it is just right to use it to cultivate to become an earth immortal."
Li Daoxuan felt that the bottleneck had loosened a little under the impact of the earth's energy, and smiled slightly.
The thousand-year heritage of Louguan Dao is indeed extraordinary, and contains many good things. This formation alone can increase his chances of breaking through by three points.
Of course, he did not take the earth energy of Wulong Mountain for nothing. In the process of playing chess, it would gradually feed back the immortal power and they would coexist harmoniously.
The two of them played chess here. Chen Ziyu casually set up a concealment formation. In addition, this place was remote and sparsely populated, so they thought they would not be disturbed.
Time flies like an arrow.
I don't know how much time had passed, I only knew that the surrounding grass turned green and then yellow, and then yellow and then green, and this cycle repeated nine times. The chessboard also became dotted with black and white chess pieces.
The two of them made their moves more and more slowly. They moved their pieces very quickly in the beginning , but then it took several hours to make a move. In the end, they didn't make a move for ten days or half a month.
Wulong Mountain has also undergone tremendous changes imperceptibly. The mountain has become taller and more majestic, the clouds have become more ethereal and lively, and the vegetation in the mountains has become more lush, vibrant, and spiritual.
A mountain is not famous because of its height, but because of the immortals living there.
