Chapter 589 The Path, Part 1

"Rise." Tian Xuanzi said blandly. Although he felt it was a bit hasty, now that he had accepted him, he had accepted him. It was just a small matter.

He had many nominal disciples under his command. Among the tens of thousands in the Tianju Pavilion, the Four Elders of Cai Tian had hundreds of nominal disciples.

It was just a nominal title, which could only allow the pavilion to allocate some resources.

"It seems that your cultivation has improved a lot after burning your original seal. It's rare that you're willing to burn your powerful bloodline. Many disciples are reluctant to do that."

"Why is that? This disciple doesn't understand," Li Cheng颐 asked respectfully.

"Because bloodlines can be passed down, but cultivation cannot. So although everyone knows that burning a bloodline at the level of the original seal can greatly purify cultivation and improve progress, many people are still reluctant. Good bloodlines are much harder to obtain than ordinary original seals," Tian Xuanzi explained.

"I see," Li Cheng颐 paused. "Thank you for your guidance, teacher."

"What guidance is this?" Tian Xuanzi smiled. "Since we're talking about guidance, Xuan Yunzi."

He suddenly raised his voice.

"Here." A semi-transparent Taoist figure suddenly appeared behind Li Cheng颐, bowing respectfully.

"At your command," Xuan Yunzi responded respectfully.

"I"

"Bai Lu greets Senior Brother Xuan Yunzi."

It was the messenger Taoist who had saved Li Cheng颐 earlier.

"That's much more comfortable." Xuan Yunzi breathed a sigh of relief. "The teacher's humble abode is not a place for people to stay. The restrictions and constraints on us are too great."

Beside the two, light and shadow flickered, and in an instant, countless black lines flew in a chaotic dance.

"Some basic teaching of common sense will be assisted by you, junior brother, no problem?" Tian Xuanzi instructed.

Li Cheng颐 took a long breath, straightened up, and hurriedly bowed to Xuan Yunzi.

Chi!

In an instant, Tian Xuanzi's entire body suddenly dispersed, turning into a mass of ink lines, falling into the soil, merging with the ground, and disappearing.

The blue-black mechanical and electronic lights cast a pale blue glow on the clothes of the two.

"Senior Brother... I'm going to Silent Extinction City next. I wonder if you have any...?"

"Guidance, right?" Xuan Yunzi interrupted him. "Silent Extinction City is located in a solidified spacetime. The founding masters have traced time back to the moment when all things are about to perish and fixed it eternally at that instant. As the name suggests, silent extinction."

"I said there's no need to thank me. I'm ordered to be responsible for the initial trial candidates in this area. It's my duty. It's just that this area happens to be under the master's jurisdiction. I noticed the master's aura on you, so I paid more attention. I didn't expect it to be a lucky strike." Xuan Yunzi's appearance was that of an old Taoist with white eyebrows and white hair and a cold temperament.

He continued.

"Senior Brother..." Li Cheng颐 just opened his mouth and was interrupted again.

The Taoist robe he wore was covered with large and small Taiji diagrams, which, when juxtaposed with the surrounding modern technological electronic warships, gave people a strangely wonderful sense of fusion.

Hu!!

The surrounding environment changed drastically, from the previous black and white ink painting of mountains and rivers to the ordinary spaceship hall of the cosmic space.

A few breaths later.

"This place is not suitable for us. Let's change the environment." Xuan Yunzi grabbed Li Cheng颐 and turned around.

"Are you trying to thank me for helping you earlier?" Xuan Yunzi said quickly.

"That place is full of countless annihilation fluctuations. It has a good effect on comprehending the path of change and destruction. It is a place for my Tianju Pavilion to cultivate geniuses. But..."

He looked Li Cheng颐 up and down.

"Your aptitude, aside from the acquired part, is very weak innately... I don't know why the master would accept you as a nominal disciple."

"Senior Brother... you're really straightforward..." Li Cheng颐 was speechless.

"I have this kind of personality, you'll get used to it. But the teacher naturally has the teacher's reasons, maybe you really have qualities that I can't see."

He stopped talking nonsense and turned around a few times.

"You have now reached the peak of Qi Fire, no, you have exceeded the peak and have some overflow."

"But," Xuan Yunzi raised a finger. "If you think that stacking the essence of flames so honestly will allow you to break through as easily as before, then you are very wrong."

"Please enlighten me, Senior Brother!" Li Cheng颐's heart shook, and he quickly bowed.

Since he was determined to take the path of Tianju Pavilion, it was necessary to build a good relationship with these senior brothers who were forerunners.

"What you need to make up for next is the breadth of your knowledge," Xuan Yunzi said. "The Divine Fire realm refers to the purification of consciousness to the extreme, and then comprehending the changes of all things to enter the path of divinity."

"This path of Divine Fire requires you to understand and comprehend all the elements and principles, big and small, of a spacetime, and be able to use your consciousness to derive and iterate from the initial monism, and ultimately restore the spacetime you observe and comprehend."

"This is called retrospection." Xuan Yunzi stroked his beard. "If you can do this, you can construct a world with your own consciousness, and you will achieve the identity of a post-natal World Seed. At this time, your consciousness can be considered to have entered the Divine Fire realm."

"Comprehending all the principles of a spacetime... won't that be very difficult?" Li Cheng颐 felt a little apprehensive.

"It's not difficult to say it's not difficult, and it's not easy to say it's not easy. Different civilizations have different understandings of spacetime, and different angles, but no matter what angle you take, as long as you can reconstruct, restore, and retrace this spacetime in your mind, you can naturally enter the Divine Fire realm."

Xuan Yunzi smiled. "Of course, this is the realm required for Divine Fire, and to enter this level, you also need to burn enough essence. You burned a lot of sundries before, right?"

"I was seen through by Senior Brother." Li Cheng颐's heart trembled, and he nodded helplessly. "When I first entered True Fire, I couldn't help but try the effect of the Creation Furnace."

"It's okay, it's normal to try it. Everyone at this level can't help but try it once or twice. You burned relatively little, mainly relying on burning your own original seal to improve your cultivation, which is good."

"Here I want to remind you that from Qi Fire to Divine Fire, all disciples are clear that the larger the spacetime you comprehend, the stronger the foundation, the higher the strength, and the higher the potential. But the difficulty also increases exponentially."

Xuan Yunzi sighed.

"It's useless to say more, I'll take you to see it and you'll know."

He waved his hand.

The entire warship shook slightly, and strange runes, like trigrams, lit up with blue light from under his feet, and then spread in all directions, occupying the entire interior of the warship in a few strokes.

Outside the transparent viewing window at the front of the warship, the previous starry sky and universe suddenly twisted, accelerated, and turned into countless spiral lines.

The lines began to rotate, entangle, and in a few seconds became a mess, indistinguishable from each other.

"Pay attention to restraining your consciousness. I am driving the Dao Palace into Silent Extinction Spacetime. This area is imprisoned and stagnated by the master with great magic power. Any foreign matter, energy, etc., once separated from the body, will be instantly integrated into it and unable to escape," Xuan Yunzi reminded.

"Yes!" Li Cheng颐 was shocked and quickly restrained his consciousness that was about to be released for exploration.

The changes and experiences in these days had simply subverted all his previous three views of the past few decades.

Moreover, this warship was actually Senior Brother Xuan Yunzi's Dao Palace?

He looked around, looking at the electronic control panel on the wall, the virtual nebula model, and the unknown tubes full of green fluorescent liquid, and felt a little strange in his heart.

"While we have time to go to Silent Extinction City, do you want to worship the founding master? In my spare time, I like to worship the founding master. Occasionally, the old man will be effective once or twice." Xuan Yunzi pointed to the window.

Li Cheng颐 followed his direction and looked over, and his expression suddenly froze.

He saw that in the various light lines that were originally a mess outside the window, a huge colored Taoist statue was now vaguely combined.

The statue was extremely huge, with one finger pointing down and one hand pinching the Qianbian Liuli magic seal, with a indifferent expression and a flame pattern slowly rotating on its chest.

The warship flew past the statue, like an extremely small dust, slow and inconspicuous.

Li Cheng颐 walked to the window and carefully watched the idol.

He noticed that behind the idol there were eight colored tube-like soft arms extending outward, like a peacock spreading its tail, piercing into the surroundings.

The arms bulged and contracted as if they were constantly sucking some kind of power from the surroundings and pouring it into the idol.

"Those are the hands of creation that are naturally born after my Tianju Pavilion has cultivated the Yin Canon to the extreme. They can automatically collect surrounding ultra-high-density matter and energy and send it to the Creation Furnace for burning, turning it into energy to support daily actions," Xuan Yunzi explained, while devoutly performing a Taoist salute to the huge idol, closing his eyes and chanting words.

Seeing this, Li Cheng颐 also saluted together, closed his eyes, and recited a wish in his mouth.

Anyway, it's just like going to a temple to worship gods in the past.

Not long after, the warship finally flew past the idol and flew towards the core in the chaotic spacetime.

Xuan Yunzi then put down his hand.

"More than 700,000 years ago, the founding master Yiyuan Daoren established the Tianju Pavilion, and then traced back through time, spreading the seeds of the Tianju Pavilion to countless spacetimes before and after, thus laying the foundation for the sect's hegemony in this area."

"After that, the master Tian Xuanzi and the other three senior uncles, in the name of their disciples, joined forces to promote the Tianju Pavilion. Thus, this idol was determined. All those who come and go to this place can clearly see the outline of the idol. Most people still remember that in the era when darkness and the unknown occupied everything, it was the sect's founding master who took the first step to expand and eliminate many evils, and developed a stable and peaceful area."

As he spoke, the warship suddenly rushed through a layer of viscous diaphragm.

The scene in front of him suddenly became a gray mist.

The mist was diffuse, and the chaotic lines of the starry sky suddenly turned into a normal gray mist sky.

The clouds were layered on top of each other, blocking the view.

Li Cheng颐 looked back and happened to see the stagnant spacetime hole that was rapidly closing and moving away from the window at the rear of the warship.

Countless twisted lines were left behind and soon disappeared completely.

"This is the Silent Extinction City area," Xuan Yunzi said.

"These clouds and mists are secretions from before the destruction of all things. They have an isolating effect that hinders consciousness."

"But what you need to pay attention to is not this, but those red objects in the clouds and mists."

Li Cheng颐 took a closer look, and sure enough, the gray clouds and mists were densely covered with a large number of dark red teardrop-shaped objects.

Each of these objects was the size of a pumpkin, and the shapes were different. Although they were all teardrops, the curvature of the surface was different.

They floated densely in the air, fixed and motionless. Although no fixed objects could be seen, they were fixed in one position, allowing the clouds and mists to constantly pass by them.

"What are those?" Li Cheng颐 asked in a deep voice.

"Those are the blood splattered from the ancient and powerful beings that were once strangled by the founding master. No matter how many spacetime extinctions they experience, they will always be there and will not change. This is the proof of the eternal, unique, and indestructible," Xuan Yunzi explained.
