Chapter 278 – Zhen Shi Ding
Xue Mu’s meritorious deeds to Heron State and the Blameless Temple, coupled with the long-term ambitions brought about by Journey to the West, really made it hard for the Blameless Temple’s senior management to reject his not-so-excessive request, and in the end, they just let Yuan Zhong accompany Xue Mu to look at the tripods, and they didn’t even plan to send out any senior management to accompany him. They also believe that under the watchful eyes of the old monks protecting the tripod, Xue Mu’s little cultivation simply can’t do anything to the Zhen Shi Ding.
It was Mu Jianli who couldn’t go and stood at the bottom of the Heaven Ascending Road to see Xue Mu and Yuan Zhong ascend all the way to the sky.
The Road to Heaven is a special scene created by the Wu Gui Temple with the help of the Zhen Shi Ding’s power, in fact, this road is mapping people’s cultivation path, from low to high, from forging the body to gradually merge with the Tao. What cultivation level basically can only go to what section of the road, another step forward is as difficult as climbing up to heaven.
General martial artists can carry the pressure to go a little more, reflecting people’s willpower, but this little bit is very small, basically half a step is difficult, after all, willpower can not replace the strength.
Only very few days can carry the huge pressure, hard to walk a few more steps, this is a very scary potential embodiment, the current session with more than 60,000 jianghu martial artists, in the wind Lieyang quit, Meng Feibai fell after the horse, can do this only that Chu Tianming.
With the strength of an early stage of Harmonization Yun, he had walked hard to the red line between the peak of Harmonization Yun and entering the Dao, shocking countless eyeballs. This didn’t mean that his potential was only to enter the Dao, but rather it meant that he was in tune with the Heavenly Dao, and his willpower was also stronger than others, and he had infinite potential to transcend the current. As long as he didn’t fall early, his future was unlimited.
As Xue Mu stepped on the path to heaven while listening to Yuan Zhong’s brief introduction, he couldn’t help but also marvel in his heart: this is another damn protagonist.
Of course if one has to merge with the Dao in order to ascend to the top, then even Yuan Zhong can’t go up there, the monks of this temple who are allowed to go to the side of the Zhen Shi Ding to participate in the enlightenment are revoking the heavenly Dao suppression on the path of ascending to the heavens, as if they were walking on a flat ground.
But Xue Mu purposely didn’t let Yuan Zhong revoke it, intending to try how far he could go. Anyway, it wasn’t like he was comparing himself to others, he was just measuring himself, there was nothing to be ashamed of.
The road ahead was very good, almost nothing felt, Xue Mu striding upwards all the way, blinking, he passed the Qi Practicing Stage and stood on the standard line of the Soul Haunting Realm.
Yuan Zhong followed by his side and laughed, “If there is pressure, there is no need to force it.”
Xue Mu blinked his eyes.
He stopped stepping, not feeling pressurized, but being curious about himself – not feeling it.
He tentatively took half a step forward.
There was no obstruction.
Another half step, like the wind on his face.
He wouldn’t be stupid enough to show his ease in front of Yuan Zhong, this wasn’t the time to pretend. The right thing to do, of course, was to pretend to be trekking slowly upwards with heavy steps, one step at a time, and it would be best if he could force himself to sweat profusely.
Yuan Zhong watched his arduous trek from the side and tsked in admiration, “General Manager Xue has only started cultivating at this age, but he even has this kind of potential, it’s a pity, a pity.”
Xue Mu silently moved forward until he began to feel a hint of resistance, he immediately stopped his steps and stopped pretending, gasping for breath, “I can’t, I can’t go up.”
Yuan Zhong looked at him and praised, “Chief Steward Xue is new to Haunting Soul, but he is only in the realm of Illuminating the Heart, but he is able to walk to the Returning Spirit Stage, it’s really marvelous.”
Xue Mu bent down and pressed his knees and panted heavily, with an overdrawn look, but in fact, his heart gradually bottomed out.
But after all, it is only a very small piece of pattern, although it is homologous proximity, the quality and quantity are not as good as the real Zhen Shi Ding, so in the unfolding of the Zhen Shi Ding suppression effect, he will still be subjected to resistance. If you have to carry the resistance to go, maybe with this homologous breath can go to enter the road above, but there is no need to try, want to know already know, really go to enter the road, afraid of Yuan Zhong to be suspicious.
So the sisters and their own dual cultivation, just get a little bit of heavenly Tao breath, and then based on personal sense to capture, does not mean that really got what heavenly Tao instillation. Such as Mu Jian Li Zhu Chen Yao directly contacted the Zhen Shi Ding, his little bit of breath will not have any special feeling, such as Qin Wuyi like, like a treasure.
Just like the dish with a bit of oil fishy, for people who are accustomed to eating mountain delicacies and sea food and people who have long eaten green vegetables and carrots, it is really a completely different experience.
Speaking of which, the demonesses were a bit pathetic.
One’s own desire to make Xue Qingqiu merge with the Dao through dual cultivation was indeed taken for granted, for the way of cultivation, Xue Qingqiu could see it much more thoroughly than oneself. Unless there was really a tripod in front of Xue Qingqiu, maybe she would be able to use it to merge with the Dao.
In other words, even if Lin Wuya had a tripod, he could only be half a catty with Xue Qingqiu, and at most slightly stronger, so he should actually be said to be inferior to Xue Qingqiu.
Xue Mu’s heart was a little proud, who is the real number one person in the world, here is the conclusion.
Yuan Zhong used a secret technique to revoke the Heavenly Dao suppression, Xue Mu felt that the resistance was gone, and immediately pretended to look like the air was suddenly fresh, and breathed comfortably, showing off his superb acting skills to the fullest, “I never thought that this road is really so difficult to walk on, Xue Mou has underestimated it.”
Yuan Zhong nodded, “That’s why our temple uses it as the preliminary selection for the World Martial Arts, otherwise tens of thousands of people would have to choose until when.”
With the suppression withdrawn, this point of the road became instantaneous, and the two of them quickly arrived in front of the copper hall at the top, and Yuan Zhong snapped the door.
The hall door opened automatically, and Xue Mu narrowed his eyes.
A mysterious and vast majestic atmosphere came to the surface, as if there was a universe hidden inside the hall, as if on the demonstration stage of some astronomy museum, watching the evolution of the universe, the heavens are vast, an earth is like a grain of dust and sand in it, which can make the first-time viewer shocked so much that he can’t breathe, and experience his own littleness deeply.
Compared with the astronomical demonstration, the most important thing here is that you can really feel the power, because you look at the demonstration of what the star breaks down black explosion, but also not a direct feeling, and here you can be very intuitively feel the pressure of the universe, what the mountains and rivers broken in which is simply not worth mentioning, but the universe sneezed.
Xue Mu knows that this is only his own personal feelings, other people here may not see the universe, it may be something else, perhaps the evolution of everything, perhaps the grass and trees grow, perhaps the sword qi overflowing, perhaps the five elements of birth and death. The Tao is there, unchanged, and what each person touches is only a tiny bit of it.
After the inner shock subsided, Xue Mu was able to pay attention to the true appearance of the World Suppressing Cauldron.
On the surface, the appearance of the Zhen Shi Ding and the antique bronze tripods he saw in the museum were very similar, the color of bronze with the flavor of the changing years, ancient and vicissitudes. The difference is that there is no rust or oxidized patina, if thrown on earth, 80% to be treated as a fake antique by whoever, the only hidden stream of light, remind you that this is a treasure.
The tripod body is not big, just a few feet square, four feet tripod, tripod mouth is square. Ding body has a strange pattern, irregular, do not know the meaning, but look carefully, but there seems to be endless revelation in the heart, want to catch, but catch not clear.
There are eight old monks sitting around the tripod in eight directions, are sitting with eyes closed, motionless, looks to be visited by someone without knowledge, even breathing can not be heard, with the silence of the seated like, but Xue Mu know that these are not dead people, if you have any rash action, death do not know how to die.
However, I can touch myself. Xue Mu also ignored them, slowly stretched out his right hand, gently stroked on the tripod body.
