Chapter 430: The so-called "real person" who sells out his teacher for friendshipCangyou was so surprised that he was shocked: "You fought so fiercely this time? A strong man like Tianjun died in the battlefield?"

Judging from the combat power of Qi Tian that she had witnessed, there was no rival in the realm of Heavenly Kings at all. They had the ability to cross the barriers of the Eight Realms alone. The only ones who could defeat them were themselves.

For a strong man at the level of Tianjun, it is difficult for him to be killed by his peers. Winning and killing are two different concepts, unless both sides fight to the death and it is a life-and-death battle where only you and I can win.

The Dao battle that Ji Jingqiu participated in was definitely a hundred times more cruel and bloody than the competition they were having here.

"Good boy, you have learned a lot this time, right?" Cangyou said sincerely, "The world sea is vast, and strong people are born in large numbers. No matter how rare a genius is, he will always emerge under the large base of time and living beings."

"It was indeed intense, and I did learn a lot... Apart from other things, every transcendental sect has a Heavenly Sovereign in this field." Ji Jingqiu reminisced about the past, "Even Chaoxia Mountain has produced a total of twelve Heavenly Sovereigns in its countless years of history."

Cangyu raised his eyebrows. Could the "dead king of heaven" that this kid was talking about be someone who appeared in the history of Chaoxia Mountain?"Did you encounter any life-or-death difficulties this time? In the path of cultivation, life and death are the most testing things."

"Of course there is... but I guess you wouldn't believe it even if I told you." Ji Jingqiu said with emotion, "Never mind, a hero doesn't brag about his past achievements. When I return to the peak of the Heavenly King, I will come and talk to you about it."

Cangyou burst out laughing. What do you mean by returning? Why does this kid talk as if he is the reincarnation of Chi Yinghuo, who has fallen down all the way?

"So what did you gain this time?" Cangyou asked with concern, then shook his head and said, "I almost forgot that you have advanced from the first level of Heavenly King to the second level in just over ten years. You obviously gained a lot."

"I have indeed benefited a lot from it." Ji Jingqiu said, "I will prepare to go into seclusion when I return this time, and close my ears to the outside world, so as to improve my realm as soon as possible."

His greatest gain this time was that it illuminated the way ahead and saved him countless hours of comprehending the truth of the great Dao.

"Well, come on." Cangyou nodded casually.

"correct……"

Ji Jingqiu explained to Cangyu some things in the Chaoxia Realm, such as the riot in the Youhai and the blocked passage. The saints might take a detour to return, so no one could determine the time of their return.

"If Xu Emperor and the saints cannot return soon, we may have to remind and wake up the Lord of the Underworld." Cangyou said solemnly.

The Void Emperor took away most of the True Saints in the Nether Realm, who were the pillars of the Nether Realm. Once an accident happens, Cang Qing and the Saint King's lineage will be under great pressure.

Ji Jingqiu was surprised and asked, "The Lord of the Underworld hasn't returned yet?"

Before he left, he had heard that the Lord of the Underworld was about to return, and this time it has been more than ten years since he left.

"Something unexpected happened." Cangyou shook his head. "That's what the Mingxu lineage said, but they didn't reveal the details."

Ji Jingqiu couldn't help but think, could something have gone wrong on Yintu's side?I wonder if the guardian deity Ksitigarbha, who took the initiative to enter the underworld, is safe now.

"Do you want to contact the Mingxu lineage on behalf of the Cangqing lineage?" Cangyu suddenly said.

"Oh?" Ji Jingqiu's eyes lit up.

Wu Zhou and Hela have both commented on the five major pantheons, and their evaluation of the Mingxu lineage is that it is Yan's biggest rival in the Netherworld, and may even become the second dead demon.

Simply put, if this realm also reached the point where a killing calamity was born and swept across heaven and earth, the Lord of the Underworld would almost be the first choice for the killing calamity.

The Federation was able to suppress the Death Demon by using the world-famous [Taishang Jiutian Miejie Killing Formation] of the Mingxu lineage, which is known as the number one killing formation in this world.

"If you want to have contact with the [Yin Ling World], I can arrange it. These guys do have many unique insights into the mind, and they not only focus on the cultivation of the state of mind." Cangyu said with a smile.

"The Yin Spirit Realm..." Ji Jingqiu asked curiously, "Why is it called this name?"

Cangyou's expression suddenly became extremely strange and he said, "Because this world is full of dead people."

"Dead person?" Ji Jingqiu asked blankly.

Could they be a clan of zombies, or are they similar to the people in the burial ground, reborn from the dead?

"Yes, they are all Yin spirits. Their belief is to cultivate the nature instead of the life. After ten thousand calamities, the Yin spirits can become saints."

Ji Jingqiu was stunned, he had only heard that "cultivating one's nature without cultivating one's destiny will make it difficult for one to become a saint even after ten thousand calamities."

"Don't you Yanhuang Federation also have your own unique spiritual martial arts? You can go and communicate with them."

Ji Jingqiu thought for a moment and said, "There will be a chance."

"correct."

Cangyou suddenly reminded him:

"They seem to be quite interested in you recently. They have asked me about you several times. I guess they heard about the changes you caused when you were leading the way. It's hard to tell whether it's a good thing or a bad thing. You should be careful."

"Yeah." Ji Jingqiu nodded, feeling a little weird.

It’s not enough that these people were invaded by the Dark Sea in the past, but now they are actually coming to us on their own initiative?Ji Jingqiu suddenly asked, "Have people from the Yin Spirit Realm been in contact with the Soul Ocean recently?"

Cangyou shook his head: "It is impossible for me to monitor every one of them, and the way to enter the Youhai is not difficult."

Ji Jingqiu nodded. He was thinking in the wrong direction. It was not difficult to enter the ocean of the mind. The ocean of the mind had the characteristics of tolerance and acceptance of everything.

Except for the burial sea.

It was a lawless area where fate and time were out of reach.

Afterwards, the two exchanged a few brief words, and Ji Jingqiu also mentioned the mysterious strong man who had appeared in the Burial Sea before.

This person's identity is still unclear and is a major hidden danger to the entire underworld.

In Ji Jingqiu's opinion, this person is always a time bomb and no one knows when it will explode.

But the saints were helpless against the Burial Sea.

After bidding farewell to Cangyou, Ji Jingqiu went to the base of the Mingxu lineage, ready to visit and inquire about the situation.

……

"In fact, compared to the Nether Sea, I prefer the name of this world - the Soul Ocean."

In a temporary void dojo, an old man and a young-looking man sat opposite each other.

The latter is Qi Tian, ​​the Heavenly Monarch who overwhelmed all the Heavenly Kings in the Nether Realm in a recent competition and achieved enlightenment only ten thousand years ago.

At this moment, Qi Tian curiously asked the master: "Is it because of that rumor? The Deep Sea is the gathering place of countless people's hearts——"

"Of all things created by nature, man is the most spiritual. It is not man that is spiritual, but the heart. The heart is the master, the ruler of the body. It controls all the bones and controls all emotions. Things have no things, and forms have no forms... If this heart is lost, this body will also fall."

In front of his apprentice, the old man recited the Heart Sutra of Lü Zu, which was passed down from generation to generation, word by word, and finally nodded and shook his head.

"Yes, but not entirely. The mystery is beyond words. When you reach my level, you will see it with your own eyes."

Qi Tian thought for a moment and said, "My spirit has been a little unstable recently. I wonder if it has something to do with the ocean of my soul."

The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "Good news. You little guys are both too lucky and too unlucky to have never been in contact with the Nether Sea. Now that you have suddenly 'met' each other, it is like a mysterious complement to the Great Dao, which can potentially broaden your foundation of the Dao."

Qi Tian smiled and said, "Master, I am already a Heavenly Sovereign."

"So what if he is a Heavenly Sovereign?" the old man scolded with a smile, "Do you really think you are invincible and have unrivaled foundation in Taoism? Which family of transcendence doesn't have a Heavenly Sovereign?"

Qi Tian couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is there another rank above the Heavenly Sovereign?"

The old man pointed out something: "When you reach a certain level, it is meaningless. It is just used to describe mediocre people. Tianjun is indeed the limit of common sense, but there is no limit to cultivation. It's just that the predecessors explored the way, and the later generations climbed to the top. There is always a difference between the front wave and the back wave."

Qi Tian somewhat understood what the master meant. In fact, this was not the first time the master had said the first half of this sentence, but there was also a suffix before.——Especially the realm of true saint.

However, Qi Tian still smiled and said, "You and I are also mediocre people?"

If my master and I are both mediocre, then how many people in this world are not mediocre?"Fool, we are all mediocre." The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "If you can't be in harmony with the Tao, ascend to the Tao, illuminate the vastness, and penetrate the void, how can you talk about 'truth', and how can you achieve the Tao and become true?"

Qi Tian was stunned, and said with a bit of a smile: "So Master compares all those who have not seen transcendence to mediocre people, and only those who have transcended are 'real people'?"

The state of transcendence has different names in different realms of the sea of ​​boundaries.

Some people call it "Source Realm", which means the source of the Great Dao;However, people like Master Qi Tian call it the "true realm", which is the ultimate truth of the great way and also the truth of the self.

"You are a mediocre person because you can say such things." The old man shook his head and said leisurely, "The heart of a true person is like a pearl in the abyss. The heart of the people is like a gourd in the water."

Qi Tian patted his head, and the master started again.

"Master, what do you want me to do next?" Qi Tian asked.

The old man hesitated for a moment before saying:

"...This world is very special. It is more special than any other world we have visited before that has been invaded by the Dark Sea."

"Is it because of the five pillars?" Qi Tian couldn't help but ask.

“It’s not just those five pillars.”

The old man shook his head and continued,"As far as we know recently, there are three beings in this realm who are called 'Pathfinders'. They have all attacked the Transcendental Barrier in the past. Although they failed in the end, they all survived without exception."

“They attacked the Transcendental Barrier and still survived?” Qi Tian was moved and said, “They didn’t die on the spot? Could it be that the path they took was correct?!”

As far as Qi Tian knew, the barrier to transcendence was a threshold. Once you crossed it, you would either achieve transcendence and attain eternal enlightenment, or die. In better situations, there might even be a chance to be reborn as a warrior.

As for failure, retreat and try again later...

There is no such good thing.

Therefore, all the true saints in the world regard this threshold as a taboo and dare not rush into it rashly.

"That's not clear." The old man shook his head and said, "In short, this world is too special and contains many secrets. This is why I reminded you to save some face for others so that we can meet again in the future."

Qi Tian was silent.

When he fought with the Heavenly King of the Nether Realm before, he felt that he had no opponent to fight against. It was only under the instruction of his master that he defeated his opponent after three moves, leaving room for maneuver between his moves.

"Your next mission is to visit Ji Jingqiu in the Great Universe and Yanhuang Federation on my behalf and find out what the connection is between him and Youhai!"

"In addition, there is also a 'Pathfinder' in the Yanhuang Federation. You can visit him on my behalf."

The old man said in a deep voice, serious and solemn.

Qi Tian suddenly asked: "Aren't there two sages in the Yanhuang Federation who are 'supernatural'? No need for me to try to approach them?"

The old man suddenly laughed and said, "In terms of age, those two are only a few thousand years older than you, but in terms of their accomplishments, you don't even know if you can catch up with them in your lifetime. Tell me, are you a mediocre person?"

Qi Tian said calmly: "It doesn't matter how fast or slow you achieve enlightenment. If I achieve enlightenment someday, what difference will there be between one year and tens of thousands of years?"

The old man was pleased: "Since you have this intention, you can try to make contact. At least I don't need to worry about you being beaten to pieces and your heart being withered."

"Others are others, and I am me." Qi Tian smiled and said, "Practicing Taoism is a long and lonely road. Everyone has his own destiny. Walk your own path and practice your own Tao. I will not be shocked even if the sky falls. My heart is immortal." At this time, the old man received a message.

He glanced at the news and its source, then looked up at Qi Tian:"You can set off now. Ji Jingqiu has returned and visited the Mingxu lineage not long ago."

"Go ahead. Remember, the first thing may be related to the survival of my Yin Spirit World!"

Qi Tian was shocked and suddenly looked up at his master.

The latter, however, has disappeared in this Dharma Void Temple.

Qi Tian had never expected that his master would take this matter so seriously!

Get close to Ji Jingqiu and find out his relationship with Youhai?

Qi Tian thought to himself that this was someone else's territory, and Ji Jingqiu was a genius who had made great achievements in this world, so it seemed inappropriate to use force. In addition, his master insisted on the policy of "seeing each other again in the future", so he could only take it slow.

As for how to approach this person...

Qi Tian quickly remembered——

Not long ago, it seemed that someone noticed how much they were paying attention to Youhai, and secretly leaked news about Ji Jingqiu to them, as if to lure them into taking action against Ji Jingqiu...

Qi Tian couldn't help but shake his head. It seemed that the situation of this Taoist friend Ji was not so stable.

There are simply too many living people in this underworld, and when there are too many living people, there are a lot of things to do.

Unlike their underworld, all practitioners must die once first. Is there anything more important than life and death in this world?After experiencing the magnificence of life and death, all struggles seem insignificant.

Only when you attain enlightenment and prove whether you are real or an illusion, can you reach the end of everything.

Qi Tian planned to use this as a breakthrough point to show goodwill to Ji Jingqiu and remind him to be careful of internal enemies.

Although there is a high probability that this person will be able to enter the realm of Heavenly Lord like him in the future, his realm is still low now.

As a Heavenly Sovereign, if he takes the initiative to contact the other party and show goodwill, Ji Jingqiu will not refuse. This task should not be difficult.

……

"Fellow Daoist Wanfa, I won't see you off!"

In the temple of the Mingxu lineage, an elderly man laughed loudly and enthusiastically sent Ji Jingqiu out of the temple.

This person was none other than the eternal sleeper whose original name was “Wanfa” whom Ji Jingqiu met in the territory of the Great Universe’s Underworld Ruins.

It was only later that he found out that this person, in the Mingxu lineage, although his realm was not high, his seniority was extremely high.

Even Youjiu, who is from the Mingxu lineage and has a similar status to Chiji, needs to behave like a junior in front of this person and even be obedient at times.

Now that they met again in a foreign place, Ji Jingqiu, who had forcibly taken someone else's Taoist name in the past, felt a little embarrassed. Fortunately, this person didn't care at all. Instead, he joked with him and entertained him personally.

It is not clear whether there is any mischievous intention in it.

"If there are any changes in Yintu, you can inform me at any time. I will go back today. Goodbye!"

Ji Jingqiu bowed and thanked the man for his hospitality.

"Definitely!" the old man who called himself Qianfa said solemnly after meeting.

In his opinion, if the Lord of the Underworld can return safely and the Yin Land can descend to the world, what does a mere name of Wanfa Dao matter?The entire Mingxu lineage owes a lot to the Buddha's lineage.

In the end, Ji Jingqiu left with satisfaction. This time, he got a part of the killing formation from the Mingxu lineage.

It was obviously unrealistic to take away the other party's strongest killing formation in one go, and he couldn't use the complete killing formation. This part was enough for him to comprehend for some time.

It’s a pity that the killing formation obtained by the four great gods back then cannot be passed on to others, otherwise he wouldn’t have to come to the Mingxu lineage to ask for it.

Ji Jingqiu was ready to stop here, and while the saints' gazes had not yet shifted to him, he returned directly to his [One True Dharma Realm] and went into seclusion.

On the way, a young man with noble demeanor came forward, wearing a blue shirt and long gown, with a jade hairpin on his head, like an ancient man.

Ji Jingqiu felt vaguely that he looked familiar.

He soon realized that what was familiar was not the other person's appearance, but the unyielding, profound and majestic demeanor of the other person as he strolled in the garden.

In the Chaoxia Realm, Ji Jingqiu had felt this extraordinary grandmaster's bearing in every Heavenly King who had fought with him.

According to the old rules of the Federation, every Heavenly Sovereign is equivalent to... the Supreme Grand Master ten thousand years ago?

Ji Jingqiu thought about it and felt that Master He should not be able to compete with him. Master He was a bug, but compared with the four gods, he should be about the same.

Ji Jingqiu had a vague guess about the other party's identity.

At this time, the other party seemed to notice Ji Jingqiu. After taking a look, he showed a little surprise, as if he recognized him. He smiled and said:"My friend, are you Ji Jingqiu from the Yanhuang Federation?"

Ji Jingqiu felt inexplicably strange in his heart. Could it be that this guy was deliberately blocking him here?What kind of idol drama is this, creating chance encounters?

No, maybe my guess was a little off.

Look again.

Ji Jingqiu nodded slightly.

The other party took the initiative to introduce himself: "My name is Qi Tian, ​​I come from the Yin Spirit Realm, and I have heard of Brother Ji's great name for a long time recently."

"You're welcome." Ji Jingqiu nodded, his expression unchanged.

The person who came was naturally Qi Tian.

Seeing Ji Jingqiu's lukewarm attitude, he wondered in his heart, does this guy not know what a Heavenly Sovereign is?

But it is rumored that Ji Jingqiu and a large number of powerful people in the realm of the king of heaven in this world went to the Chaoxia world together to participate in the Taoist struggle among the transcendent sects in the sea of ​​​​worlds.

Although Heavenly Sovereigns are rare, each family can always find one or two who transcend the sect once a generation.

If Ji Jingqiu participated in the Taoist dispute, there is no reason why he would not be aware of the power of the Heavenly Emperor.

I see. Ji Jingqiu hasn't received any news from the Netherworld yet.

In other words, his self-introduction was still too modest. He should have directly stated that he was the Heavenly King.

What should he do? He couldn't introduce it again...

Qi Tian smiled bitterly in his heart, but smiled on his face and said, "Not long ago, I learned a lot from the masters of the Nether Realm. I look forward to learning from you."

Ji Jingqiu nodded: "I have heard of Qi Tian, ​​the Lord of the Yin Spirit Realm, for a long time."

"Fellow Daoist, do you want to visit the Mingxu lineage?" Ji Jingqiu suddenly asked again.

Qi Tian was stunned. This person knew him? Then he shook his head subconsciously.

The next moment, Qi Tian felt something was wrong!

Ji Jingqiu glanced behind him meaningfully.

That is where the Mingxu lineage is based.

As one of the five great divine systems, its base is so vast that there are no other forces in this direction.

"I see. Daoist friend, are you here to stop me on purpose?"

Qi Tian smiled awkwardly: "Misunderstanding..."

Facing this half-smiley gaze, Qi Tian simply adopted the backup sincere strategy and said cheerfully:

"Yes, not long ago, we learned from some kind-hearted people about the strange phenomenon in the dark sea caused by Fellow Daoist Ji's opening of the world. My master and I attach great importance to this, so we came to visit Fellow Daoist and want to exchange experiences in spiritual practice with you."

“I wonder who are these kind people?”

"One seems to be from the Moon God Palace, and the other seems to be from the Taiyou lineage." Qi Tiangan coughed, and finally decided to betray the kind-hearted person in a tactful tone.

The two seemed... Ji Jingqiu blinked, this guy was quite an interesting person.

"Thank you for your reminder, fellow Taoist. It's nothing else, so I'll leave first." Ji Jingqiu bowed and walked around from the side.

Qi Tian could not help but stop in front of him and said sincerely: "Fellow Daoist Ji, are you going back to the Yanhuang Federation? It just so happens that I also want to visit the Qinglian Saint of your country. Why don't you and I go together?"

Ji Jingqiu asked seriously: "Isn't it inappropriate?"

Qi Tian said sincerely: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist, I have no ill intentions."

Ji Jingqiu made excuses and refused again and again. After confirming that the man was not being forceful or impatient, but was full of sincerity, he began to ponder.

Qi Tian suddenly said, "Fellow Daoist, you don't need to worry. My master is visiting the main hall of Lord Cang Qing. If I act recklessly, Lord Cang Qing will never let my master go easily, considering how much he values ​​you."

Ji Jingqiu was immediately filled with respect and recognized this filial son and virtuous disciple again.

I've only heard of people taking their children and disciples as hostages, but this is the first time I've seen someone go against the will of Heaven and take his own master as a hostage!

So filial!"Besides, I was born in the Yin Spirit Realm, and I have reached the Heavenly Sovereign through the Way of the Heart. I have quite a bit of experience in this area, and I have walked my own path. I can learn from you, my fellow Taoists."

Qi Tian smiled faintly. He had been relatively tactful in his words. What he really wanted in his heart was to seek advice from the predecessors of the Yanhuang Federation from afar.

Even though he tried hard to befriend Ji Jingqiu under the order of his master, he still had the arrogance of a Heavenly Sovereign!Ji Jingqiu looked up and down at this "selling teacher to seek friends" fool again, and suddenly felt that maybe he...

No, we can definitely get the specific situation of the spiritual world and the purpose of this trip from him!Not long after.

After Ji Jingqiu finally nodded, Qi Tianxin set off with Ji Jingqiu as she wished.

Along the way, Ji Jingqiu asked a lot of tentative questions.

For example--

"Fellow Daoist Qi, I heard that during this visit to the Yin Spirit Realm, there was a rumor that our two families share the same spiritual system. What's the story behind this?"

"Mind system..." Qi Tian was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "The world sea is vast, with too many power systems running in parallel. Our mind system is one of the main veins, and the original source of the mind system is related to the origin of the Nether Sea!"

"It is said that Youhai was refined by an original transcendent using his own body as the material... a treasure!"
