For a superior spiritual vein, those masters in the realm of sainthood might not fight for it at all costs, but if it is a top-level spiritual vein, it is a different matter.
After all, compared to superior spiritual veins, top-level spiritual veins are more precious, and can even increase the chances of breaking through to the Manifestation Realm from the peak of the Celestial Realm...
Wang Cheng's aura was released and then retracted. The people in the general alliance had not yet reacted. They were just a little confused about the palpitations just now...
"The next stage is the Void Realm. Once you pass through the Void Realm, you can advance to the God and Demon Realm."
The realm of emptiness and darkness, as the name suggests, targets the primordial spirit. In this realm, there are three major difficulties. Each difficulty is a torture to the mind and soul. If you can overcome it, the soul will be more complete. If you can't overcome it, the soul will dissipate or turn into Tao.
Looking at the seemingly unbreakable bottleneck between the Manifestation Realm and the Void Realm, Wang Cheng laughed:
"For me, it is easier to practice now. For others, passing the Three Questions of Emptiness and Darkness may be extremely difficult, and they may even be in danger of death. But for me, it is not a shackle. Break it for me!"
If other practitioners saw Wang Cheng's actions, they would probably be scared to death. After all, they had just broken through to the Manifestation of Sainthood and had to start their promotion again.
Even the most evil genius would not dare to do so. After all, to reach the state of emptiness and darkness is not only an improvement in realm, but also extremely dangerous during the promotion.
Of course, nothing is absolute. If the practitioner's soul is perfect and his will is extremely strong, it will be easier to overcome the three questions of emptiness and darkness.
Chapter 660: Three Ways of Asking
The Three Questions of Kongming are also three realms: the supreme state of forgetting emotions, the worldly state of asking about emotions, and the heavenly state of being ruthless.
Among these three realms, the highest state of forgetfulness is the easiest to achieve. After all, in the process of cultivation, the most easily lost thing for practitioners is their own emotions. Many people become like a cultivation machine in the end.
As for the Supreme Forgetfulness of Emotions, the initial basic state is to forget all emotions, to purify the mind and soul, so that one can make rapid progress in cultivation and realm while practicing Taoism.
However, this kind of danger is also the greatest. Once the mind is completely integrated into the rules of the Tao, the whole person will become a Taoist, which is the most common catastrophe of Tao transformation for practitioners.
It should not be said that it is only the Great Forgetfulness of the Supreme Being who has reached the Dao of Transformation. It should be said that all practitioners who cultivate the three realms of Emptiness and Darkness will encounter the calamity of Transformation of the Dao.
As for seeking the Tao in the mortal world, it is quite simple. It is to hide oneself in the mortal world, experience the seven emotions and six desires in the mortal world, and hone one's Tao heart.
However, it is also very difficult to seek the Tao in this mortal world. After all, if one is completely integrated into the mortal world, it is easy for the heart of Tao to be obscured. Without great opportunity and enlightenment, it is even more difficult to break free.
As for the last kind of ruthless Heavenly Dao, it is relative to another kind of practitioners. They constantly devour the world, comprehend the great rules of many worlds, and finally create their own big world, which can also be comparable to gods and demons.
This third type is also very dangerous. At the end of the practice, one will encounter a calamity of transformation that is more dangerous than the previous two.
Wang Cheng pondered the three realms of emptiness and darkness, and was thinking slightly in his heart as he answered the three questions:
"In the Infinite Chaotic Origin Space, even though I have practiced for countless years, I spent most of my time practicing, and the least time on training my mind. Fortunately, after achieving Daluo, I have gradually made up for my shortcomings in countless timelines. Compared with opponents of the same level, this has become my shortcoming."
Thinking of this, Wang Cheng's heart actually moved, and he instantly cut out the memory that originally belonged to this body.
"Wang Mang has met fellow Taoist."
The memory that was cut out instantly condensed into a body and saluted Wang Cheng with a smile.
Wang Cheng nodded slightly when he saw this:
"You and I are one. Although I am here to complete the cause and effect for the remnant of my previous life, I will leave the aspect of cultivating emotions in the mortal world to you."
"Don't worry, I have all the memories of my previous life. For me, it is equivalent to Wang Mang fulfilling his own wish. However, there are indeed some dangers here, so please be careful."
The other party instantly turned into a stream of light and headed towards the direction of the Dali Dynasty. As for Wang Cheng, he heaved a sigh of relief:
"Is it dangerous? Tai Shang Wang Qing, haha, you can just give it a try in this world. There are too many inseparable emotions in the infinite Chaotic Origin space, so if you really want to practice, you still have to look at the Chaotic Origin Demon Realm."
Wang Cheng instantly immersed himself in the evolution of his own cave world, and with the integration of Wang Cheng's soul, the speed of the evolution of the entire world instantly began to accelerate...
Dali Dynasty, Jiaozhou, Shilin Prefecture, Qingshan County, Sanhe Town, Heishan Village.
The incarnation of Wang Mang did not wander around or stay anywhere else, but went straight to the village where he came from.
However, what surprised Wang Mang was that in Heishan Village, where his old house was, two dilapidated thatched houses had been transformed into a magnificent manor.
Thinking of the things he had left for his adoptive father Wang Jin, Wang Mang couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth. He seemed to have removed the dust from his heart, and his whole soul exuded a sense of lightness.
Wang Mang did not go forward immediately, but met an old man at the entrance of the village. It was obvious that this old man was quite knowledgeable in the village. Seeing Wang Mang's extraordinary demeanor, he couldn't help but smile and asked:
"Young man, do you have any business in Black Mountain Village? Are you going to visit the Wang family as well?"
Although Wang Mang could know what happened by using his divine sense, he did not do so. He just made a promise to the old man:
"My dear father-in-law, I wonder how you can tell that I am here to visit the Wang family."
“Hahahaha, needless to say! Ever since that child of the Wang family gained immortal fate more than 300 years ago, the Wang family has soared to the sky. Even the head of the Wang family at that time quickly became a great master. Even the emperor of the Dali Dynasty treated the Wang family with courtesy.”
Hearing the old man's words, Wang Mang could not help but nod slightly:
"It seems that the resources left behind by my previous incarnation have finally made my cheap father no longer content with being ordinary."
This is the thought that the old man seems to have not stopped:
"Young man, if you want to visit, you've come at a good time. Every winter, the old man of the Wang family will stay in the manor for a period of time. I heard that the old man of the Wang family also has a great affinity with the immortals. It is said that his appearance now is the same as it was 300 years ago, with no changes..."
Wang Mang received some good news from Lao Zhang, then said goodbye to Lao Zhao and headed towards his original residence.
Wang Mang soon arrived at the gate of the manor, where naturally there were servants guarding it.
"Who are you? This is the palace! If nothing else, please leave immediately and don't disturb the old master."
Wang Mang was not annoyed when he saw the gatekeeper in front of him just chasing people out without any excessive actions:
"Go and tell your old man that his child is back."
However, after hearing this, the servant was angry and affectionate:
"Where did this lunatic come from? How dare you pretend to be the old master's child? We know all the young masters and young ladies of the Wang family very well. How could we allow you to try to establish a relationship with them?"
Wang Mang saw this and chuckled:
"I am indeed not your young master or young lady. Didn't I tell you? I am your old master's child. If your old master doesn't want to see me, I will turn around and leave immediately."
Hearing Wang Mang's words, the servant's eyes instantly showed hesitation:
After all, as a servant of the Wang family, he might be able to use the Wang family's reputation to bully others, but he dared not make decisions for his own old master.
"Okay, I'll go and report it. If you're an imposter, I'm afraid you'll suffer more than just a beating..."
The servant didn't waste any more time and reported the situation at the door to the inside.
In the core area of Wang’s manor, there are indeed two extremely simple houses located here.
One of the middle-aged men was sitting cross-legged on a chair, practicing with his eyes closed. After a long time, he opened his eyes.
"What a pity. Although he has entered the Juqi Realm, his progress has been very slow over the years. If this continues, I guess he won't be able to break through to the next realm even when his time comes. I wonder if Ah Mang is doing well after more than 300 years?"
Chapter 661 The storm rises again
Wang Cheng did not pay attention to his clone Wang Mang who was gaining enlightenment in the mortal world. He was using the Supreme Method of Forgetting Emotions and the Method of Heaven at the same time.
As for these two methods of enlightenment, using them at the same time will cause a greater danger of enlightenment, but Wang Cheng does not care. After all, the great way of the realm of emptiness and darkness is not enough to make Wang Cheng lose his way.
If other practitioners saw Wang Cheng's crazy behavior, they would probably be shocked. After all, for them, when practicing in the Kongming Realm, they were very cautious and dared not make any mistakes.
Although one's realm of cultivation can advance by leaps and bounds during the period of being in the Void Realm, no one dares to do so.
If one's realm is raised too quickly, the result will be that one's heart of Tao will be obscured or one will directly become a Tao. This is especially dangerous for someone like Wang Cheng who has completely forgotten all emotions and practices together with the Heavenly Dao of Wenqing.
During Wang Cheng's training, changes gradually took place in the Jiujue Alliance.
After all, without Wang Cheng absorbing a large amount of the power of heaven and earth from the spiritual veins, the power of heaven and earth that was previously absorbed by Wang Cheng began to recover again.
At this time, the spiritual veins of the sect headquarters of the nine major sects under the Jiujue Alliance gradually evolved to the level of the peak of medium spiritual veins.
At the Disha Sect's headquarters, in a place where outer disciples lived, an outer disciple had a gleam in his eyes.
"The concentration of the power of heaven and earth here is very wrong. It is almost comparable to the concentration of the power of heaven and earth at the Dark Tower headquarters."
Although he noticed the abnormality here, he did not dare to act rashly.
After all, the Disha Sect also has powerful people in the Tianxiang realm. Who knows if they will be caught by the other party if they reveal their true colors...
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a loud noise not far away, and then several disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall of the Ground Sect appeared there, one of them holding a half-dead outer disciple in his hand.
Seeing this outer sect disciple, the hidden man in the dark building couldn't help but change his expression drastically:
"It's actually Dafu. What did he do to deserve the arrest by the court?"
At this time, the voices of the disciples of the Law Enforcement Hall suddenly spread all around:
"Outer sect disciple Dafu colluded with the enemy and betrayed the sect. We have been ordered by the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall to arrest and interrogate him. If you find signs of other people betraying the sect, please report them to the Law Enforcement Hall. You will be rewarded greatly and may even be able to enter the inner sect."
Hearing the words of the disciples from the Law Enforcement Hall, the eyes of the many outer disciples below flashed with brilliance, and they looked at the disciples around them, each of them as if they were searching for prey or traitors.
As a secret agent who entered the Jiujue Alliance through the Dark Tower, he naturally knew how to disguise himself. There was also an excitement in his eyes as he looked at the outer disciples around him, but he was very nervous in his heart.
After returning to his room, he carefully looked around and found that no one was snooping. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and sighed in his heart:
"I didn't expect that Dave was actually a spy from another faction. But how did the sect know that the other party was a spy? Could it be that the other party did something that was discovered by the sect's masters?"
Thinking of this, Ying Twelve felt more and more that his guess might be correct, and was secretly surprised:
"Fortunately, every time I pass on a message, I only do so when I leave the sect to go on a mission. If I were to pass on a message within the sect, it would most likely be detected by some treasure. I have to be more careful in the future."
The leader of the Disha Sect also looked very unhappy at this time:
"I didn't expect that the spies from other forces have infiltrated so deeply, and they are not shy about it. It has only been a short time, and they have sent so many spies in." The leader of the Disha Sect was somewhat helpless about the matter of spies. Although he had expected that the sect's spiritual veins would attract covetousness after a major change, he did not expect it to happen so quickly.
But after thinking about the cultivation level of his own Grand Elder and his own cultivation speed, a smile appeared on his face again:
"The Grand Elder is now at the middle stage of the Celestial Realm, and has recently approached the late stage of the Celestial Realm. I am now at the peak of the Concentrated Spirit Realm. With the nourishment of the sect's spiritual veins, it is very likely that I will break through to the Celestial Realm. In that case, my Disha Sect will become even more powerful. Maybe one day I will be able to go to the headquarters to practice..."
Although not many people at the Jiu Jue Alliance headquarters knew the details, the leaders of the major sects still knew about it. After all, after the great elders left, it was naturally these leaders who controlled the nine major sects.
However, not only the leader of the Disha Sect, but even the leaders of the other eight major sects felt that a storm was about to come.
During this period of time, spies from various major forces have been arrested in batches, especially the outer disciples who are the hardest hit.
The situation is better for the inner disciples, but there are also disciples who have been bribed, or traitors controlled by other forces.
Although the leaders of the nine sects in the Jiujue Alliance were somewhat worried.
But their supreme elder was in surprise.
"I didn't expect that the cultivation environment here in this main vein would be so good. After more than a hundred years, I not only broke through the previous bottleneck, but even achieved the late stage of the Celestial Realm."
"Nonsense, you should know that this is a spiritual vein that only the top sects can possess. Which of those forces does not have many old monsters in the Tianxiang realm and the Xiansheng realm..."
"I thought this was a disaster, but it turned out to be an opportunity for the development of the Nine Absolute Alliance. The strength of the leader is becoming more and more unfathomable. Every time I get close to his retreat, I can feel the strong pressure..."
"This is perfect. The stronger the leader is, the safer we will be. Our Jiu Jue Alliance may eventually become a top force in Luzhou..."
