Chapter 157 parting(1/2)
"Disciple is willing to go."
Amid everyone's hesitation, Li Chenxing, who had always been taciturn, spoke up.
He was wearing a bamboo hat, an ordinary cloth, and carried a sword on his back. There was no sharpness in his eyes at this time, only calmness and simplicity.
Among Chen Mu's many disciples, Li Chenxing is the only one who specializes in swordsmanship, and is also the purest. His spiritual root qualifications are also of the highest level, and he is now somewhat famous in Dayuan.
Chen Mu nodded slightly.
Li Chenxing's choice was not what he expected. In terms of the firmness of Taoism, as a latecomer, he was actually more determined than Chen Yao and others. His heart was devoted to the Tao and he would never bend.
In fact, this was the reason why Chen Mu would accept him as his disciple. If he didn't have this kind of character, then he could just find a grandmaster to accept him as a disciple, even if it was to end his obsession with the dead soul at that time.
"I am coming too."
Yan Hanyu thought for a long time and then slowly spoke.
Among all the second-level martial arts, she is the youngest. Even if she specializes in martial arts, she is expected to become a martial saint. Now that she has entered the martial arts, she has gradually reached the perfection of the foundation-building realm. The next step is to cultivate a perfect and satisfactory one.
Virtual Dan Realm.
Of all the people, she is the closest to a real person.
Just being close does not mean that she can become a real person. Although she is still far away from the barrier between heaven and man, she also knows from Chen Mu and many outside monks how difficult it is to break through at that step.
You must know that in this world, it is already difficult to become a martial saint. There is no one in a hundred, and no more than ten people have been able to do so in a thousand years.
And the real person is even higher than the martial saint. It is much more difficult to break through the barrier between heaven and man than to realize the unity of heaven and man. After all, one only realizes the unity, while the other transcends.
If you say that to become a martial saint, you need great perseverance, courage, wisdom, and will... then to become a real person, on the basis of all these, you also need great opportunities!
Yes.
No one can be 100% sure of becoming a real person, even those Taoists who are rare in the world. To become a real person depends not only on oneself, but also on the number of days and opportunities.
After all, if you don't become a real person, you haven't broken your destiny and you are still under this world.
If she stays in Dayuan, even if she still has hundreds of years to live, there is little hope of breaking through to the realm of real people.
But leaving Dayuan is different.
The outer realm is vaster and wider, with endless opportunities.
Who can become a Grandmaster without a strong will, let alone someone who has achieved the second level of martial arts.
"Well, the outer world is your place of enlightenment."
Chen Mu nodded slightly.
For beings like Yan Hanyu, who can reach the second level of martial arts, it is only a matter of time before they can cultivate the Void Pill. Only the barrier between heaven and man is the difficulty. Only by going to the outer realm can they have more hope of achieving enlightenment.
"Huh... I'll go too."
Seeing Yan Hanyu make a decision, Chen Yao finally took a deep breath and made a choice after hesitating.
A thousand years of separation, and the possibility of an eternal separation, made her heart shake, but the world was so beautiful, but she was not willing to stop there.
If she had never known that there was an outside world before, then becoming a Martial Saint and enjoying a lifetime of glory would have been her pursuit. But now that she knows there is a wider world beyond the Martial Saint, she is no longer willing to stay here.
Chen Mu stared at Chen Yao and suddenly smiled.
"You, what are you laughing at?"
Chen Yao was a little embarrassed when Chen Mu saw her, and she remembered some of her crazy words in the past.
Chen Mu smiled and shook his head, saying: "It's nothing, it's just... well, it should be the right decision for you to go to the outer realm."
Those real people in the outer realm once mentioned luck, and mentioned that the inheritance of the Inanimate Realm has been cut off for tens of thousands of years. He may be the variable that combines tens of thousands of years of luck, but in fact, Chen Mu himself knows that he is not at all.
Not to mention the past Chen Mu, there was no luck in being reduced to such a situation, and he was an extraterrestrial person, and it was even more impossible for him to have the luck in this world.
The Inanimate Realm has never given birth to the kind of existence that can combine the fate of a region for tens of thousands of years.
but.
There are many people with good luck.
For example, the people around Chen Mu, everyone in the Yuji Palace, from a real person's perspective, can almost see that the luck surrounding them is far greater than that of ordinary people.
This is normal, because without good luck, how could you get to know him and become someone around him?
Among them, Chen Yao must be the best.
Chen Yao's luck is the most profound among all people. Although he cannot combine tens of thousands of years of luck, he is indeed a person with great luck.
Putting aside his existence for the time being, Chen Yao herself was able to avoid danger everywhere when she walked in the world. Even when she encountered a big demon, she could be rescued by chance and even get some good fortune from it.
It seems to be a coincidence, but among real people, there is no such concept of "coincidence", because everyone's fate is determined by the vast number of days and moves with the heaven and earth. No one can change the fate except real people.
The strong luck in Chen Yao's body makes her fate completely unclear. Even if it is deduced based on Chen Mu's current state, no result can be deduced.
Although she does not have a spiritual body and her spiritual root qualifications are not high and she is only of middle grade, but with the blessing of great luck, the possibility of becoming a real person in the future is higher than that of Yan Hanyu and others.
"what about you?"
Chen Mu looked at the others.
Lu Shiyun shook her head and said, "I only want to serve by your side."
She didn't have such lofty ambitions, and she didn't have much courage. From the beginning, she just wanted to follow Chen Mu.
Unexpectedly, Chen Mu climbed up to the sky step by step, going higher and higher, and now she has reached the pinnacle of the real person realm. Even those real people from the outside world have to bow their heads. She has been shocked countless times in her heart.
What's more, following Chen Mu, she also had many opportunities, so much so that now she has achieved a small level of foundation building, and one step further will be a great level of foundation building, which corresponds to the master of martial arts.
Moreover, a more complete system based on Taoism will be stronger than the master once it breaks through.
This was a realm that she could only look forward to before, but now that it is right in front of her eyes, how can she be greedy for more?
It is enough to serve Chen Mu in this life, which is something that many people would envy. If there is really a glimmer of hope that she can become a real person in the future, then she will have more time to follow him.
"Um."
Chen Mu nodded slightly.
Following him is not a wrong choice.
It is said that when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
A real person transcends the world and follows a real person, and will naturally be affected by the real person's existence. Just like Lu Shiyun, even if she just follows him, her destiny will be affected and become blurred.
For example, in the outer realm, some loose cultivators occupy mountains as their residences. The rats, rabbits, and birds circling on those mountains all the year round will gradually be affected and open up their spiritual wisdom, and gradually turn into monsters.
Like Lu Shiyun, who does not have a spiritual body, has very ordinary qualifications, and is not as rich in luck as Chen Yao, so it is the right choice to stay with him. In the future, it is expected that he can slowly cultivate to the Void Core realm step by step.
Even if you are stuck at the threshold of Xudan, it is not a big problem, because the realm of Xudan requires cultivating a perfect circle, and I am a heavenly being.
He could make Lu Shiyun experience the harmony between heaven and man in advance, and the unity of yin and yang. As long as he had the understanding first, it would not be that difficult to break through.
But the only barrier between heaven and man is her own.
Chen Mu looked at Liu Lian and others again, but in the end everyone else gave up the choice of going to the outside world.
"Well, in order to break the barrier between heaven and man, you need to end the cause and effect first. Although you are still far away from that step, you will reach this step sooner or later in the future, so before that, you must first end the earthly cause and effect on the Great Yuan side."
"Hanyu, you have the most entangled causes and effects. Go ahead and sort them out slowly. When you've almost finished sorting them out, I'll show you if you've missed anything else."
"Yao'er, your karma is basically in Prince Xuanhuai's palace."
"Morning Star, you only have one cause and effect, which should come from your biological parents. Although they abandoned you, you still owe this cause and effect... Well, the direction should be seventeen thousand and nine to the south from here.
Baili, go and search slowly."
Chen Mu briefly pointed out the cause and effect that the three of them needed to resolve.
Although this is the first time for everyone to hear about cause and effect, they have now embarked on the path and are no strangers to things like cause and effect.
Yan Hanyu hesitated slightly and said, "What if the person who owed the cause and effect has died?"
Chen Mu said softly: "Ashes return to dust, dust returns to dust, and cause and effect disappear after death."
"The way of killing is also a way to cut off cause and effect. If you kill all the people related to you in the world, it is also considered to have cut off all cause and effect. However, I do not recommend this method, because without cause and effect,
There will still be obsessions and inner demons.”
This is another method of resolving cause and effect that Chen Mu only learned about after becoming a real person.
Yan Hanyu's eyes were slightly awe-inspiring, and he said: "There is such a way..."
He shook his head slightly as he spoke.
Although she was able to achieve her current state by struggling through countless killings, it is undoubtedly an unacceptable act to kill those who were kind to her to settle the cause and effect.
Chen Mu smiled lightly and said: "I didn't know it at first. Only those who have achieved enlightenment understand it. In fact, you can understand it in another way. If someone deliberately gives you a favor before you become enlightened, and then always controls this cause and effect,
If you have no way to repay and block your path, what do you think should be done?"
Yan Hanyu was startled, his eyes narrowed, and he said: "I see."
After listening to this, Li Chenxing and others also looked thoughtful.
Chen Yao tilted her head and looked at Chen Mu, and suddenly said: "What about the cause and effect of owing second brother? How should we repay this? It seems that we all owe a lot here. Even if we pledge ourselves to each other, it is not enough to repay. We will pay in the next life."
You have to be a cow or a horse..."
Chen Mu glanced at Chen Yao and said: "The karma of real people is different. When you hit the barrier between heaven and man in the future, you will temporarily merge with heaven and earth. If you owe me karma, I will be thousands of miles apart at that time."
You can feel that I can exert influence from a distance, and I can also restrain and let go, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
