Ning Fan smiled bitterly in his heart, how dare he blame Xiang Jianzi, a quasi-sage.

It should be said that Ning Fan was the one who should feel nervous when he was suddenly called by a quasi-sage.

"Don't worry, little friend. I don't have any ill intentions. I just want to exchange some cultivation experiences with you, that's all. If you don't want to, you can leave on your own. I will never stop you."

Xiang Xiangzi smiled slightly, but his expression was a little sad.

When looking at Ning Fan from a close distance, Nan Jianzi felt that Ning Fan had a very similar temperament to Sen Luo.

The same footsteps on the sea of ​​blood, the same feelings in the heart, the same demon king with persistence in the heart...

Others may not be able to see through many details about Ning Fan, but Xiang Jianzi can vaguely tell that Ning Fan is a demon cultivator.

Ning Fan's mind was racing, chewing on Xiang Jiezi's words.

"This person should have no ill intentions towards me, otherwise he could just rely on his quasi-sage cultivation level to take action without having to talk nonsense with me..."

"From what he said, he should have opened the first gate of heaven and man. Does he really just want to share with me his experience of the unity of heaven and man?"

After pondering, Ning Fan finally nodded and agreed to the old man's request.

Xiang Jiezi also nodded with satisfaction, and suddenly raised his hand, and the two of them immediately faded and disappeared on the ladder.

"Not good! Senior Brother Xiang was taken away by the second-step senior!" Several Nascent Soul disciples immediately exclaimed, their faces full of sadness, but there was nothing they could do.

Among the behemoths like Shenxu Pavilion, Yuanying monks are nothing more than ants, and almost no one cares about their life and death.

In their opinion, Xiang Jianzi was captured by Ning Fan. It would probably be more misfortune than good...

The only blame is that Xiang Jiezi acted arrogantly and angered the second-step seniors with his Nascent Soul cultivation. Although they were not worried about Xiang Jiezi, they were unable to help...

They didn't know it. No one on the entire ladder knew it. Ning Fan and Xiang Ganzi actually didn't move half a step away from where they were. They were still standing on the ladder, but they seemed to be standing in another dimension.

Ning Fan looked at the empty ladder and the empty star in the sky, his eyes were shocked and he said,

"This is... a barrier!"

Just a moment ago, Nanjizi opened a barrier across the entire Shenkong Star, blocking everyone's exploration.

They are still here, but no one knows about them anymore.

"My little friend, there is no need to panic. The reason why I opened the barrier here is just because I am afraid that others will disturb my discussion. If my little friend wants to leave, I can open the barrier at any time and send my little friend away.

"Xiang Jianzi explained with a smile. His expression showed an indescribable sense of intimacy.

Maybe it's because heaven and man are one. Maybe it's because Ning Fan has a very similar temperament to Sen Luo. Maybe it's because Ning Fan is still calm despite being frightened until now. Xiang Jiezi's attitude towards Ning Fan is actually kind.

Just like elders.

Ning Fan was startled for a moment, calmed down a little, then bowed to Xiang Jiezi with his fists raised,

"Junior Ning Fan, I have met my senior."

His tone was very respectful, but he was still very vigilant in his heart. Quietly, the Jade Slip of Killing the Emperor was hidden in his sleeve. If necessary, he was ready to activate the power of the Magic Life Pill at any time...

"Ning Fan... I'd rather live in the mortal world than become an immortal. That's a good name."

He moved towards the blind man who was tightly closed, and turned to the direction of Ning Fan's sleeves. He seemed to see something for self-protection hidden in Ning Fan's sleeves, but he didn't point it out. He just sighed slightly, shook his head, and then said,

"I, Xiang Jianzi, like you, have opened the first gate of heaven and man. I called you here today because I want to share with you my experience in cultivating the unity of heaven and man. I dare to ask you about the door of heaven and man.

How do you feel when you open it?" Xiang Jianzi's tone was extremely polite when he asked this question.

"Are you feeling..." Ning Fan's eyes flashed, he pondered for a moment, and then said, "The opening of the Gate of Heaven and Man gave me the biggest feeling. It was so accidental that there was no sign of it.

..”

"My little friend thinks that the opening of the Gate of Heaven and Humanity is just accidental. When I first opened the Gate of Heaven and Humanity, I also held the same view as my little friend. However, as time has passed, my opinion has gradually changed. Everything in this world, everything

There is inevitable existence in accidents. In my opinion, there are still traces to be followed for the opening of the door of heaven and man."

"I have not been interested in worldly affairs for countless years. Over the years, I have sometimes transformed into a Nascent Soul and swept the ladder with these Yuanying monks here. Sometimes I have transformed into a mortal and lived in excessive seclusion as a mortal on a certain cultivation star. Once,

I met a great mortal scholar and asked him for advice. He taught me the three realms of life. I believe that these three realms are very similar to the path of monks of my generation. Would you like to hear it?"

He smiled at the moth, but walked up the ladder very slowly, step by step.

Ning Fan's eyes moved, followed Xiang Jianzi, and said respectfully, "I would like to listen to the senior's opinions."

"Haha, the great mortal scholar told me that in the mortal world, those who have achieved great things in ancient times have three realms. The first realm is the realm of 'solitary practice'. If there is a mortal poem to describe it, then

It’s like ‘go up to a tall building alone and see the whole world’…”

"When monks of our generation take the first step in cultivating the Tao, most of them practice for the sake of immortality. This kind of practice is ultimately passive. It is the fear of death, the fear of falling, the fear of dying... The monks in the first step think that immortality is the end of the practice.

, thinking that they have seen the whole picture of the avenue and the world.

There are no ends of the world in this world, but they don't know that it is just their view from the bottom of a well. This road has no end. There is no end of the world in this world... They don't know, but they still practice alone, accumulating what they have learned along the way, just for

One day you can see everything clearly, this is the first great realm of a Taoist."

"This avenue has no end...this world has no ends..." Ning Fan's eyes moved.

"After our monks step into the second step of cultivating the Tao, they will gradually realize that life and death are nothing but illusion, and immortality is just the beginning of eternal death. At this time, what they pursue is no longer immortality, but the truth. They want to understand the Tao.

The truth is not forced by anyone, but it is diligently

Pursue, persist in your heart, and have no regrets even if you fail... This is the second greatest realm of the monks, the realm of 'perseverance without regrets'. In my opinion, the reason why monks in the second step are better than the first

Bu. Not only is he strong in his cultivation, but he is also stronger in his pursuit of the great road."

"The pursuit of the great road..." Ning Fan murmured.

"The third step of cultivating Taoism is too far away... In my opinion, this is a state of 'suddenly looking back'... From ordinary people to cultivation, from cultivation to immortality, from immortality to ordinary life again, perhaps this is the only way,

Only then can we step into the distant third step of spiritual cultivation..."

Speaking of this, Xiang Jianzi suddenly looked confused.

He has been cultivating a quasi-sage for countless years, but he has never been able to step into the legendary third step of cultivation...

"Senior said that it is quite philosophical to divide the three steps of cultivation into three realms. But how does all this relate to opening the door to the unity of heaven and man?" Ning Fan suddenly asked, interrupting Xiang Jianzi.

The confused remembrance.

"Practice alone, pursue without regrets, look back suddenly, and everything will come true... This is how I open the door to heaven in my eyes. But in my eyes, all this seems to be just accidental." Xiang Jiezi said with a half-smile.

"Practice alone, pursue without regrets, look back suddenly, everything will come true..."

Ning Fan's eyes suddenly trembled, as if he was enlightened, as if he understood something, but couldn't put it into words.

Xiang Jianzi looked at Ning Fan with a smile. He seemed to have found confirmation from Ning Fan's enlightenment. He also gained a lot.

"My little friend seems to possess the Luo family's magical power of war fire. Today I came to the God's Tomb, but did I come here to seek a fight?" Xiang Jiezi suddenly asked.

"That's right." Ning Fan calmed down and replied respectfully.

"It is fate that I can meet my little friend today, so I give this thing to my Taoist friend. Maybe one day, this thing will help me practice the battle tactics. I don't know if this little friend can master the fourth change of the battle tactics, save my life.

The war king of the Luo family can somewhat offset my sinful karma..."

He bent his palm towards Jianzi, took out a square golden order, and handed it to Ning Fan.

There is only one divine seal character engraved on the token, and that is - 'War'!

"This is... the Siming Sect's 'battle order'! With this token, you can use the four teleportation arrays in the four-day immortal world to freely enter and exit the wild battlefield where the four-day world has been fighting against the demon clan for generations!" Ning Fan looked at him

Immediately moved.

In the Siming Sect, only those who have achieved the level of Immortal Rank ‘Fourth Level Heavenly Prison’ can be granted a battle order!

Looking at the entire four days, the person who can hold the Heavenly Supervisor Immortal Position is at least an old monster of all eternity!

The only ones who have the immortal title of 'Third Class Star Lord' are the twenty-eight 'Xingxiu Ancient Emperors' of the Siming Sect.

Nowadays, there is no one who is a second-class or a first-class immortal...

Nominally, Ning Fan was granted the eighth-level immortal position in the Demon-Sealing Peak, and was regarded as a low-level immortal official among the nine-level immortals.

With Ning Fan's qualifications, it was impossible to obtain a battle order through formal channels.

"I cannot accept this order."

Ning Fan calmed down and wanted to hand the battle order back to Xiang Jianzi.

Xiang Jiezi just waved his hand without picking it up, waved his hand again to untie the barrier, walked down the ladder step by step, and said to Ning Fan with a smile,

"The fighting spirit on Broken Halberd Peak is ultimately limited. The war king Luo Hu back then achieved his fourth transformation in the wilderness battlefield. This order is just useless if I put it here, but it will be helpful to you. You don't need to refuse.

.Besides, this is not my kindness to you, but my apology to the Luo family... I just hope that I can use your hand to awaken the King of War, that's all..."

"Okay, little friend, it's time to go to the God's Tomb."

Xiang Jianzi just smiled, but never looked back.

Ning Fan looked at Xiang Ganzi's back and was silent for a long time. Finally, after carefully examining the order, he put it into his storage bag.

Then he slightly clasped his fists at Xiang Jiezi, turned around and continued walking towards the ladder.

Although he didn't have any good impression of Shenxu Pavilion, he didn't have much dislike towards Xiang Jiezi.

What surprised Ning Fan was that Xiang Jianzi, a dignified quasi-sage, was actually kind to others and was not as arrogant and self-reliant as some powerful old monsters.

Befriending the Yuanying monks and discussing the Tao with mortals... Xiang Jiezi has a kind of returning to nature...
