Chapter 2: Ancient and Modern Immortal Dao

In ancient times, the great way is simple!

However, after the great disaster of heaven and earth, the way to cultivate immortals has also undergone many changes.

"The ancient immortal path has ten levels: spiral, consecration, fusion, heart movement, spiritual silence, Nascent Soul, out of the body, dispersing the spirit, fusion, and passing the tribulation... After passing the tribulation, it is Mahayana, ascension to become an immortal is just around the corner, and failure to pass the tribulation also has a glimmer of life. You can change the way to practice the scattered immortals, but every thousand years, there must be thunder and heavenly punishment. If you can withstand it, you can be free and free. If you can't withstand it, your soul will be scattered and ashes will be destroyed."

Zhuo Yunxian's explanation is very detailed, and the old master can't find any mistakes.

When I heard the eight words "Souls disappeared and ashes were destroyed", the students around me turned pale and their eyes were filled with fear. It is conceivable how dangerous it would be to cultivate immortals in ancient times.

"only……"

After a pause, Zhuo Yunxian continued: "The ancient immortal path was quite complex and extremely dangerous. However, in ancient times, the inheritance of the immortal path was missing and gradually simplified into the eighth level: refining Qi, building foundations, forming elixirs, Nascent Soul, transforming gods, refining emptiness, fusion, and Mahayana... Although the practice has been simplified a lot, the practice of the immortal path is even more difficult. Those who do not have spiritual roots cannot reach the threshold of the immortal path. After this, there are differences between immortals and mortals. The immortals are above and dominate the common people, and mortals are reduced to ants and sink into the sea of ​​suffering."

"Well, that's right. It seems that you have some understanding of the ancient immortal path."

The old master nodded in appreciation and encouraged, "Then let me talk about it, what is the difference between the ancient immortal cultivators and the immortal cultivators in our Xianqiu Continent?"

"I know, I know this!"

Zhuo Yunxian's classmate suddenly raised his hand, attracting the attention of the students around him.

This person's name is Bao Datong, who is short and fat, so everyone likes to call him Short Baozi. However, Bao Datong is optimistic by nature, is tactful and has a good relationship with his classmates.

If Zhuo Yunxian has friends in this class, then Bao Datong is the only one.

The boy's nature naturally loves to show off.

The old master didn't care and said with a smile: "Bao Datong, since you are so active, then you can answer."

Bao Datong quickly stood up and squeezed a smug look at Zhuo Yunxian. It’s the turn of the guy to show his face this time!

Zhuo Yunxian smiled undeniably and sat down on his own.

Then, Bao Datong raised his voice and said loudly: "In ancient times, those who practiced immortals focused on the qualifications of immortal roots, and then on the opportunity and understanding and mind. But our Immortal Continent cultivated three souls, refined seven souls, opened two bridges, and gathered life-related poles... Without the need for immortal roots, everyone can cultivate immortals."

Speaking of this, Bao Datong stood up straight and seemed very proud: "Also, most ancient immortal cultivators were selfish and knew how to ask for it from heaven and earth, but never rewarded it. They even fought for the sake of heaven and earth treasures, regardless of the people of the world, so that the galaxy was destroyed and the vitality of heaven and earth dissipated... However, our Xianqiu Continent is different. All the laws of immortals are bound by the law. Even strong immortals cannot bully the weak and kill innocent people indiscriminately."

The "law of Immortality" mentioned by Bao Datong is that the three islands of Jiuzhou jointly set the rules, and the supervision is the punishment of the Immortality Holy Alliance, and there are almost no mistakes.

Simply put, this is a world of immortals bound by the law. Immortals have lofty status and superior living conditions. At the same time, they are also responsible for the prosperity and stability of the Immortal Continent, fighting against foreign races, subduing demons and demons... Even those who are extremely sinful and evil must go through the judgment of the Immortal Law before they can be sent to the Immortal Killing Platform.

It has to be said that with such restrictions, immortal cultivators have some concerns and are more self-disciplined, and mortals also have room for survival and reproduction, pushing the Immortal Continent to a prosperous era.

The old master nodded lightly, suddenly turned to ask, "Zhuo Yunxian, what do you think?"

"this……"

Zhuo Yunxian didn't expect that Master Zhuo would ask himself, so he said the truth: "Actually what Bao Datong said is right. Different from ancient and modern times, the practice of immortals is also different. However, regardless of ancient and modern times, the purpose of cultivation is to become immortals and achieve immortality, live forever, and transcend reincarnation... In fact, the ancient and modern immortals cannot say who is good or bad, but the environment of cultivation is different. Every era, there is always the most suitable path for cultivation in this era."

Starting from the ninth period of the Immortal Calendar, the heaven and earth are thin, and the inheritance of the Immortal Dao is difficult to continue.

In order to live forever, the ancestors of the Immortal Sky Continent took a different approach, visualized the movement of stars, created the sutra wheel seal, used bloodlines as the guide, and soul as the root to melt the primordial spirit of all beasts, and broke through the shackles of the body.

After this, the immortal path is divided into seven realms: soul refining, soul fusion, spirit gathering, double bridge, orifice opening, Dharma appearance, and magical powers, and each realm has its own magical realm.

Of course, relatively speaking, the ancient immortal way is more in line with the natural way of heaven, and can reach the immortal gate and have a very high life span.

However, the Immortal Continent cannot open the gate of the upper realm without enough energy in heaven and earth, and naturally cannot cultivate to become an immortal... This is also the pain point of all the immortal cultivators in the Immortal Continent. Although everyone can cultivate immortals, none of them ascend to become immortals.

The old master did not expect Zhuo Yunxian to have such a view, and couldn't help but frown: "Zhuo Yunxian, what you said makes sense, but the ancient immortal cultivators are powerful. If there is no law constraint, it is the root of chaos. This is also the difference between ancient and modern times, the unification of immortals and mortals, and the harmony of the world."

Zhuo Yunxian bowed and said seriously: "There will be fighting in places where there are people. From ancient times to the present, it is inevitable that the cultivators in ancient times are powerful, so they are extremely destructive. What's more, it was not easy to cultivate immortals before ancient times, and there were also monsters and monsters that caused trouble. Gods and Buddhas in the heavens were in chaos, and the environment was very harsh... We cultivate immortals for immortality, but they were for survival, with different natures."

There was a quiet surroundings, and many students showed surprise and suspicion.

Most of the students who are here are only eleven or twelve years old. They are of ordinary qualifications, are usually playful and playful, do not do their jobs, and practice just for the sake of gangsters, and never worry about life. The first time I heard Zhuo Yunxian say this, I suddenly felt a little alarmist.

The ancient times were magnificent, but they were too far away from them.

...

"Do!Do!Do!"

The bell for the end of get out of class suddenly rang, and the Xiandao Academy gradually became lively.

The old master waved his hand and turned off the light curtain and warned: "Today is your last lesson in school. Two months later, it will be an academic test. I hope that when you grow up, you can become a pillar of the immortal path. Even if you cannot cultivate immortality and achieve enlightenment, you can still repay the country and do good to the people."

Speaking of this, the old master suddenly changed his voice and said, "Everyone else is over. Zhuo Yunxian, come with me, I have something to say to you."

"Well?"

Zhuo Yunxian had just gotten up and was stunned.

The classmates around them all looked gloating. Obviously, they thought Zhuo Yunxian’s remarks were a bit ruthless, so the old master was ready to teach the other party a lesson.

...

————————————

The back hall of the school is quiet and elegant.

At this time, the old master held the teacup and savored it, looking in a good mood.

Zhuo Yunxian stepped forward and saluted, and then stood respectfully in front.

The old master was very satisfied with Zhuo Yunxian's attitude, so he said straight to the point: "Zhuo Yunxian, he is about to graduate now. What are your plans for the future?"

"Intend?"

Zhuo Yunxian was stunned for a moment, feeling a little confused. He could not cultivate the path of immortality, and he would only become an ordinary person in the future.

Of course, even ordinary people can live well with Zhuo Yunxian's status, so he never worried about his future. The only regret is that he cannot fly to the sky, escape from the earth, go out to the Qingming, and be free and easy like a cultivator.

After thinking about it, Zhuo Yunxian hesitated and said, "Teacher, I want to enter Tianshu Xian Taoist Courtyard."

In Taixuanzhou, the Immortal Taoist Academy has been popularized, and almost every town has been established, and there are many Immortal Taoist Academy institution that are first-class. However, in the entire Tang Dynasty, the Immortal Taoist Academy is only one-many, and it is the leader of the Taoist Academy. This is also the foundation for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty.

"oh?"

The old master knew Zhuo Yunxian quite well, and it was not surprising that he got such an answer, so he asked: "Do you know that Tianshu Xiandao Academy recruits students very strictly. Not only does it require excellent academic assessment, but also high qualifications. You are born with innate shortcomings and it is difficult to cultivate immortality. If you want to enter the Xiandao Academy, you can only enter the book as a traitor disciple, and you also need to pay a lot of spiritual stones. Your Dongling Zhuo family is also a fairy family. You are the young master of the Zhuo family, so why should you degrade yourself? It is better for me to recommend you to the Xiandao Academy in Daning City, where the environment is also good."

Although everyone can cultivate immortals in the Immortal Sky Continent, not everyone actually goes to cultivate immortals.

Cultivating immortals and asking for difficulties and dangers. Without great wisdom, courage and perseverance, it is difficult to achieve anything. Instead of working hard for half a lifetime to achieve nothing, it is better to learn some skills and live a down-to-earth life. Therefore... many people also choose ordinary life.

However, ordinary is not the life Zhuo Yunxian wants, and he always has a glimmer of good hope for the future.

"Master, the way of cultivating immortals is mysterious and mysterious. The five arts of immortals are also profound. Although I am innately deficient, I can learn the five arts of immortals..."

Zhuo Yunxian bowed and said solemnly: "The ancient sage once said that the three thousand great roads have the same destination. Maybe I can find a path that suits me. After all, the foundation of aristocratic families and academic institutions is not as profound as that of the Immortal Dao Court, so I want to try it in the Immortal Dao Court."

Yes, the Immortal Continent is not only a place where immortal cultivation can make its mark. There are many industries closely related to people's livelihood and the country, such as the Five Arts of Immortality: Pills, Tools, Imperials, Arrays, and Talismans. Each skill requires huge accumulation and specialized personnel, and is widely used, and has low requirements for apprentices. Many auxiliary devices can be controlled by mortals.

In the old Master's opinion, Zhuo Yunxian was destined to be difficult to achieve the immortal path, but with his mind and hard work, he might not be able to make achievements in other aspects. The five arts of immortal path are indeed a good direction.

"Okay, since you have such a plan, as a teacher, you should naturally support you."

The old master nodded, took out a white jade token from the bag and handed it to Zhuo Yunxian: "This is a special order from Tianshu Xiandao Academy. With this token, you can directly enter the Xiandao Academy and enjoy the treatment of a formal disciple."

"Teacher!?You..."

Zhuo Yunxian couldn't help but be stunned on the spot. As the young master of the Immortal Dao family, he naturally understood how precious the special orders of the Immortal Dao Court were, especially the special orders of the Tianshu Immortal Dao Court.

In the entire Tang Dynasty, there will be no more than ten such special orders! There are hundreds of immortal Taoist schools and hundreds of thousands of students in the Tang Dynasty... Even if it is a family of immortal Taoism, it will be difficult to get such special orders, otherwise Zhuo Yunxian would not plan to be a traitor disciple in Tianshu Xiandaoyuan.

"nothing."

The old master smiled and said disrespectfully: "I once participated in the Taoist exchange in the Central Xiandao Courtyard. An old friend gave me one casually at that time. I don't know who to give it, so I have been there until now... I have taught here for more than ten years. You are the hardest and hardworking student I have ever met. I also hope you have a good future in the future."

Although Zhuo Yunxian is the young master of the Immortal Dao family, in such a great era of immortal Dao, if he does not practice immortal Dao, he will not be able to stand at the top of this world. Zhuo Yunxian will not be the head of the Zhuo family in the future. If he can have a skill, he will always live more freely.

"Thank you...thank you, Master!"

Zhuo Yunxian did not refuse the good intentions of the old master. He suppressed his excitement and bowed heavily.

In fact, he was always very depressed. No one understood the criticism and pressure he was under, otherwise he would not have thought of leaving the Zhuo family and going to the distant Tianshu Xian Taoist Courtyard.

The old master stood up to hold Zhuo Yunxian and said earnestly: "Child, the road to cultivation is difficult and dangerous. Sometimes qualifications and environment are not the most important. Opportunities, nature, and perseverance are indispensable. Ordinary things may not be a good thing. I hope you will not regret your choice in the future..."

Regret? No! Absolutely not!

Zhuo Yunxian had an answer in his heart. Every path is his own choice. Since it is his own choice, he should not regret it, and he should not regret it.

The kind will not worry, the wise will not be confused, and the brave will not be afraid.

These are three sentences given to Zhuo Yunxian before leaving. The old master hopes that he can always remember this persistence, never forget his original intention, and never change his original intention.

Holding the special order from Tianshu Xian Taoist Courtyard, Zhuo Yunxian felt a little warmer.
