Chapter 1539 Ascending to Heaven
On February 15th, under the leadership of the leader and elders of the Penglai Sect, the disciples first simply worshiped the Daode Tianzun in the Sanqing Hall, and then came to the vicinity of the Climbing Tower.
It’s not that I’m snubbing the founder of the Taoist sect, but the Penglai sect has never paid much attention to these customs, and they probably use themselves to save others. If it were Shang Fengzi, he would definitely not mind that future generations of disciples would keep their sacrifices simple, and the high-profile commotion would be annoying. .
As for the three founders of the Taoist sect, Daode Tianzun, Yuanshi Tianzun, and Lingbao Taojun... they are different from the earth legends that Guan Liyuan is familiar with. These three are all great human beings from ancient times, and they are at the same level as the God Emperor.
However, the number of Da Luo in the human race was far less than that of the God Emperor. Before the War between Humans and Gods, there were only ten Da Luo in the human race. Gonggong was the first to fall before the war started, and all the other sages were also lost in the subsequent war.
Although...the Gods lost in name, and Fuxi announced the closure of the Tianwei Gate after expressing his reflection, the price paid by the human race was not unbearable!
In ancient times, most of the human race's cultivation techniques were passed down from the Sanqing sect. Nowadays, most Taoist sects in the world worship Sanqing as their ancestor.
In other worlds, there are many "translated" existences with the same name.
Guan Liyuan also saw the Climbing Platform for the first time at this time. It looked similar to the Temple of Heaven in appearance, but it was higher than the Temple of Heaven and occupied a much larger area. It was conical in shape overall, but it was relatively flat and had no tip.
There are nine steps all around, each with nine steps, for a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one steps!
Being able to walk to the high platform in the middle means that you have passed through the "first calamity", you are not bound by the world, and you can consider yourself a "practicing person".
If you continue to stay on the stage after that, it will naturally lead to wind disaster...
The normal rule of the Penglai sect is that the disciples who want to survive the storm should go up one by one first. After all the disciples have climbed up once, the other disciples who have not passed the first calamity can go up to the rooftop together.
Although the Penglai Sect does not have thousands of sword-wielding disciples like Shushan, there are still hundreds of people in the sect from the head to the disciples.
However, when it comes to disciples who have survived the "first tribulation", the number has to be halved, and even if they are in the Gangfeng realm, that is, disciples who have to survive nine wind tribulations, it is extremely fast to survive one tribulation in a year. Secondary wind calamities and three-year calamities are also normal, and one five-year or ten-year calamities are not considered slow.
Moreover, although the damage caused by a failed wind tribulation is smaller than that of the fire tribulation and thunder tribulation, it is not as random as the first tribulation. Failure to do so will inevitably cause serious damage to the vitality. It is impossible to try easily without confidence.
Therefore, when they go to the rooftop once a month, only a dozen or so people really want to survive the storm. The disciples of the First Tribulation don't have to worry so much. Going to the rooftop once a month is equivalent to training themselves.
As for fires and thunder disasters, they are all specially staged - after all, if you are not careful, you may have to kneel down. The person who has overcome the disaster must prepare himself to the best state and the best time.
And if we rush to catch up with everyone, if we fail... who will still have the heart to go on stage later?
However, this time it may be that Guan Liyuan brought the news about the Nine Provinces demon disaster, which made many young disciples excited. It was only half a month since the last stage, but more than twenty disciples came on stage, including one of the Seven Penglai Sons. 1. The previous Heavenly Power of the eighth level of Gangfeng!
Unlike Guan Liyuan's imagination, the success rate of these twenty Penglai disciples in overcoming the tribulation was actually quite high. Including Tianquan, 80% of them succeeded in overcoming the tribulation.
Shang Fengzi also explained the secret at this time - it is precisely because Penglai's usual practice method is too "quiet" and needs to challenge the mind, so it occasionally "moves", which plays a role in the coordination of yin and yang.
In fact, according to Guan Liyuan's understanding, it means that he is almost sick from boredom, and finally indulges for a while, and finally breaks through himself...
Tianquan, for example, is the youngest among the seven sons of Penglai, only twenty-six years old. Compared with the other six sons, his character is more out-of-the-box...or rather reckless, but Shang Fengzi said that this is the "nature of a pure child." .
Except for the youngest Tianquan, among the other six sons, three have reached the Qi Fire realm and three have reached the Gang Feng realm...
At this time, Tianquan took advantage of the overwhelming pride in his heart and broke through the ninth level of Gangfeng in one go, and survived the complete wind disaster, which was considered a big breakthrough.
When it comes to realm, Penglai sect monks are indeed unique. Three of the seven Penglai disciples are at the same realm as Xu Changqing, and the other four are only slightly inferior now. Xu Changqing has not broken through the Qi Fire realm for a long time.
Of course, if it were a fight, Xu Changqing could beat seven of them...
The reason why Guan Liyuan allows them to listen to his bragging is that he has sparred with them in the process. He is definitely incomparable in the Qi and Fire realm. However, in terms of strength, Tianshu, Tianxuan and Tianji, who are perfect in Gangfeng, are only as good as those Guan Liyuan has encountered before. The strongest "demon" is about the same, but his fighting instinct...is not as good as a brainless demon!
The demon has no brains, but is fierce enough...
On the contrary, Tianquan, the eighth level of Gangfeng, was able to fight Guan Liyuan back and forth before - at least he had some fighting methods, which of course was also related to Guan Liyuan not using any special methods.
Therefore, the Seven Penglai disciples were naturally surprised. At Guan Liyuan's age, his strength was comparable to that of Gangfeng Perfection. Although it was commendable, it was not unknown to them. They also knew that Penglai disciples were not good at fighting.
If it were Xu Changqing a few years ago, he would definitely be stronger than Guan Liyuan now.
But...it's a bit scary to have such strength without even surviving the first tribulation and never going to the rooftop!
Therefore, although Guan Liyuan did not survive the First Tribulation, everyone agreed that he could survive the Wind Tribulation instead of finally appearing on stage with the disciples of the First Tribulation.
After the last disciple of Penglai passed through the tribulation, it was Guan Liyuan and Jingtian's turn. Guan Liyuan let Jingtian go first...
Jingtian had only practiced the most basic set of breathing techniques. After knowing that Guan Liyuan had the Five Spirit Techniques, he originally wanted to ask for advice, but Guan Liyuan rejected him after asking Zixuan what he meant.
Although Zixuan didn't know who Jingtian was in his previous life, she could see the innate immortal light in his soul and speculated on his identity as the reincarnation of the gods.
It's not that Zixuan looks down on the reincarnation of the gods, but she speculates that Jingtian should have his own "Suhui", and practicing other skills rashly may cause the Suhui in his previous life to be annihilated.
Especially after knowing that the magic sword was given to him by a "mysterious man", "Su Hui", who is more inclined to Sedum, is on the sword. It is the best choice to study the sword on his own...
Guan Liyuan also tried to teach Jingtian the secret of "cutting quickly", but it's a pity that this kid is afraid of death... Tsk, tsk, he doesn't know the truth!
However, along the way, Sedum also got rid of many little demons. Because of the special properties of the magic sword, it can absorb the essence of the killed creatures and feed it back to the user...
To a certain extent, the word "demon" in the magic sword is well deserved. When Yang Guo threw the corpses of Jiang Guo's soldiers and even many prisoners alive into the sword furnace, Long Kui's sacrificial sword detonated the resentment among them. , Demonic thoughts, when the sword is completed, blood rains from the sky, hundreds of miles are reduced to ruins, and there is no life left.
It can be said that the power of the magic sword cannot be evaded by the so-called "use the right to make good and use the evil to make evil". Its characteristic of devouring the spirit and spirit of living beings is enough to make 99% of its users fall into the devil's path.
If you want to avoid it, you can either suppress the demonic nature like Murong Ziying with your extremely strong cultivation and gradually purify the resentment in it, or you can have a very high state of mind and be immune to the temptation of the demonic sword, or... it's Sedum!
That's right, for the magic sword, Sedum is a unique existence, not only because the sword spirit is nightshade, but also because Sedum's divinity prevents it from being affected by the devil.
Others, even Murong Ziying, can only barely control it at most, and cannot use the characteristics of the magic sword to practice. Devouring the essence and spirit of other creatures will not only make their own spiritual energy mixed, but also become different from the blood-eating demon clan. Likewise, the mind will be affected, and the calamity will be more difficult.
No matter what kind of technique, it is impossible to completely purify this external spiritual energy...
But Jingtian, relying only on a set of basic breathing and breathing methods, has prevented the spiritual energy from being polluted at all, and the immortal divinity has not been affected at all. Instead, with the help of the characteristics of the magic sword, it seems to be cheating all the way, turning cultivation into It has become an upgrade for killing monsters!
