Chapter 694: Thinking outside the box

 Why the mainland could transcend the outside world and escape disasters in the early Yuan Dynasty has always been a mystery in Li Qing's heart, and he is also very concerned about it.

 The mainland in the early Yuan Dynasty could avoid the natural changes in the late Yuan Dynasty, and perhaps it could also avoid this catastrophe of alien races.

Liu Tong couldn't answer Li Qing's question. He said: "Although I have been in the Immortal Relic Clan for half a year, I have not been exposed to all the secrets. Even regarding the practice of breaking through the path to true immortality, I have not received a better answer."

“The secrets of the Immortal Relic Clan are controlled by the three great elders of the Hong Tribe, Pan Tribe, and Hao Tribe. I have not yet been received by the three great elders.”

“In addition, there are not many creatures in the Immortal Relic Clan who have broken through the True Immortal Road. Apart from me, there are only five of them. The three great elders have all broken through the True Immortal Road. I don’t know to what level they have reached.”

"This matter is not urgent," Li Qing thought, "Since the Immortal Relics know the situation of the Thirty-Third Heaven, they will not remain indifferent. They also have to worry about the aliens entering the Yuanchu Continent and cleaning up everything."

“The mainland of the early Yuan Dynasty was also part of the Immortal Relic… I think the Immortal Relic clan will help us.”

“I think so too,” Liu Tong nodded and said, “So after understanding some of the situation in the Yuan Dynasty mainland, I approached the Immortal Relics Clan directly, but I didn’t expect that I have the blood of the Hao Tribe of the Immortal Relics Clan, so communication would be easier.”

Li Qing is staying in the giant city of the Immortal Relic Clan for the time being. He doesn't need to go to other places to seek the truth or discover the secrets. He can access everything here.

 Historical books are more complete here. He continued his previous behavior of reading history.

Li Qing saw the original ancient history and told the origin of the Thirty-three Heavens. In the chaotic void, thirty-three world seeds of the same root were born, and together they evolved into the Thirty-three Heavens, breaking through the chaos and entering into the world from then on. Early Yuan Dynasty.

 There is no history before the early Yuan Dynasty.

Since then, all kinds of creatures have risen in the early Yuan Dynasty. It was a splendid era. Monks practiced in accordance with the heavens and strong men emerged in large numbers. Every six hundred thousand years, there was a chance of destiny and immortality.

 Until the thirty-three destiny is exhausted, the fairy world enters its peak period.

“The Immortals of the early Yuan Dynasty should not be as powerful as the Immortals of the Ancient Immortals.” While reading history, Li Qing came to the conclusion that in the Ancient Immortal Era, there was no such thing as a 600,000-year struggle for destiny, and that the destiny may appear multiple times at a time.

In this way, when a living being breaks through, it can integrate multiple destiny, and this kind of immortal will naturally be stronger.

Looking through various history books and biographies of immortals, Li Qing did not see any strong people in the early Yuan Dynasty who had completed the ancient and modern ways. The ancient and modern ways were still difficult to cultivate and understand in the early Yuan era.

 There is no need to hide his identity, Li Qing can discuss history and morality with other monks at will.

 One year later, Li Qing will be able to have a basic understanding of the history of the early Yuan Dynasty.

 At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, there were no major changes in the mainland, and the inheritance was very complete. At the end of history, the fairy world was still prosperous, and there was no sign of the changes in the sky.

Li Qing also saw many novel statements about the isolation of the mainland here in the early Yuan Dynasty, but they should not be taken seriously.

He knew that the three tribes of the Immortal Relic Clan were derived from the three primal creatures of Hongtian, Panyuan and Haoyue. Hongtian established the Hong tribe, Panyuan established the Pan tribe, and Haoyue established the Hao tribe.

 Among the three creatures, only Hongtian received a destiny.

 “Outlander, let’s fight in the sky!” One day two years later, a true immortal from the Immortal Relic Clan came to challenge Li Qing.

 Le Qing engaged in the battle, knocking the opponent off the clouds at will.

 In the following days, real immortals continued to challenge Li Qing, but they were all defeated by Li Qing with one punch.

 Then the creature that broke through the True Immortal Road appeared and attacked Li Qing.

 Fifteen rounds, Li Qing defeated the opponent easily.

 The Chronicle of Heroes has been updated, and Li Qing was ranked second on the Wizards List at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, only behind Hongtian.

 …

It is unknown whether Li Qing is stronger or weaker than the number one prodigy in the early Yuan Dynasty. However, Hongtian has the blessing of being an ancestor of the Immortal Relic Clan, and people in the early Yuan Dynasty generally believe that Hongtian is stronger.

After Li Qing defeated the creatures who broke through the path to the true immortal, Liu Tong received news and said happily: "The three great elders of the Immortal Relic Clan broke through and wanted to see us two!"

Led by the true immortals of the Immortal Relic Clan, Li Qing passed through many secret spaces and met three great elders on a plain.

Those who obtain the status of great elders will abandon their past names and identities and call themselves Hong, Pan, or Hao.

Hong, Pan, and Hao each sat on a huge boulder. Behind the boulder, there was a tower that reached the sky, with only the tail but no head.

“Fellow Daoist Lin, please take a seat, Liu Tong, you should also sit down.” Hao opened his mouth, waved his hand, and two huge rocks appeared.

Li Qing took advantage of the situation and sat down.

Pan Youyou said: "We already understand your purpose of coming. There are three eras: Yuanchu, Xiangu, and Xianjin. When Liu Sanbian came here, there was no Xianjin era yet."

“We have analyzed the origin of the alien race, but it cannot be solved or discerned. Whether it is related to the changes in the sky in the early and late Yuan Dynasty is unknown.”

“Before the Heavenly Change in the late Yuan Dynasty, the mainland was isolated here in the early Yuan Dynasty, so we don’t know the cause of that Heavenly Change.”

"According to what Liu Tong said, those alien races want to destroy all creatures in the immortal world. I personally think that this disaster of the alien races may be different from the celestial changes in the late Yuan Dynasty. The historical gap between the ancient immortals and the early Yuan Dynasty is a big doubt. "

“When the nest is overturned, there will be no intact eggs. The Yuanchu Continent may not be able to avoid the aliens. We can’t get out of the Yuanchu Continent, but I hope to help you.”

 “If you have any questions, just ask and tell me everything you know.”

 Li Qing handed over his hand: "I want to know the origin of the mainland in the early Yuan Dynasty and why it was isolated here. There are rumors that it was to suppress the treasure."

Pan explained: "In the early Yuan Dynasty, there were indeed treasures in the mainland, but they were purely for suppressing important treasures, probably not."

“The continent in the early Yuan Dynasty was the hometown of a group of strong men, and it can be regarded as the ancestral land of Hongtian, Panyuan, and Haoyue. We tend to believe that the three ancestors noticed the change, and the change may be a change of nature.”

"Then the Third Patriarch relied on his supreme cultivation to isolate the mainland of the Yuan Dynasty here and avoid the changes in the sky."

“Hongtian has obtained the immortality fruit, but Panyuan and Haoyue have not. But these two have broken through the path to true immortality and have the strength of immortality?” Li Qing asked.

Hong answered: "The three ancestors all have the power of Immortal Immortality. Who has used the Immortality Dao Fruit and who has not. I don't know, but my ancestor, Hongtian, is the strongest."

Li Qing immediately pointed out the issue he was most concerned about and said: "I can't listen to the breath of immortality and refine the destiny. The traditional path of immortality has been cut off."

"The only way we can walk now is to break through the path of the true immortal. Dare I ask if this path can lead to immortality?"

"Immortal life..." Hong, Pan, and Hao all looked at each other with deep eyes. Hao shook his head and smiled: "We have broken through the path of true immortals and searched for the ultimate way. This is to achieve the Tao and live forever."

“But for countless years, the Immortal Relics Clan has experienced many beings who have broken through the path to true immortality, but none of them achieved immortality, and they all died at the end of their lives.”

Pan Ning said in a voice: "This is an unexplored road, passed down by the third ancestor. The number of steps at the end of this road is unknown. The creatures of the Immortal Relic Clan in these years have only taken one step."

 “At the end of the road, I thought it would be eternal life.”

 “What is a step?” Liu Tong asked.

Panda: "Perfectly staying within the Great Dao without being bound by it is the first step."

 …

 “How to practice the first step?” Li Qing asked next.

Pan Dao: "There is no fixed method of practice, and it varies from person to person. Ancestor Hongtian passed down a method called Hongchen Dao Jue. This method can be used as a guide to break through the path to true immortality, but it is not suitable for everyone."

“Even though Hongtian obtained immortality through destiny, he also studied deeply on how to break through the path to true immortality.”

“The core idea of ​​this method is to absorb all paths that have broken through obstacles into another path that has not broken through obstacles, thereby achieving the first step.”

“The road that has not broken through obstacles must be special enough to carry the original and supreme truth.”

“Just like the world of mortals, if you set your mind to use the mundane to go against the immortal, the lower to go against the upper, and the ordinary way to go against the origin and the rational way, you can do this perfectly.”

“This method is currently the only perfect method. Only by practicing this method can we have the opportunity to see the second step. Others will not work and need to be more perfect.”

Hong took action and pointed out the deeper meaning of the Dao Jue of the Red World, which turned into an immortal scripture and fell into Li Qing's hands.

Li Qing read through it carefully. Compared with Liu Tong's method, this method is more orthodox, but the results are the same. He said: "As long as you are a Taoist, there is no need to be so troublesome."

 “The Tao respects people?” Hong, Pan and Hao were surprised.

Li Qing immediately explained that Tao respects people, and elaborated on how Tao respects Tao and people respect Tao.

After hearing this, Hong, Pan, and Hao's faces kept changing. Hong said: "Fellow Daoist Lin can completely follow this path. There is definitely a chance to see the second step. It is impossible to say that the second step will lead to immortality."

Panze shook his head: "No, it's wrong, it's a big mistake!"

 The cultivators turned their gazes to Pan.

Pan said in a deep voice: "Fellow Daoist Lin's way is different. The purpose of Hongchen Dao Jue to break through the path of true immortality is to respect the Tao. Our ancestor Hongtian may have followed the path of respecting the Tao."

“Although Taoist people can more easily follow the path of the world of mortals, they will eventually fall into the lower realms.”

Li Qing closed his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "This path of the Red Dust Dao Jue is indeed the Tao Zun Dao. The original supreme principle Zun Hong Chen Dao. It is not easy to achieve this step."

“Only when the Dao Jue of Hongchen shows its heaven-defying combat power can the other Dao be convinced.”

“But if we respect people with the Tao, then we can naturally respect the Tao of the world of mortals.”

Liu Tong asked curiously: "There is no fixed way to break the path of true immortality. Every living being follows his own path. If Lin Fusheng can achieve the goal of respecting people with the Dao and being inferior to others, can he be directly exempted from the Dao?" Restraint?"

Li Qing shook his head: "It's not that simple. I use all kinds of avenues in my performance. How can I be free from the constraints of the avenue? If I break away from the avenue, my strength will be useless."

“Fellow Daoist Lin, you can think about it from another angle,” Hao Sisi thought leisurely: “About living in the Great Dao but not being bound by it, this conclusion is not original to us, but is passed down from the three ancestors.”

“We have only taken the first step, but the Third Patriarch has gone further, and he must have reached the second step.”

“Ignoring the second step, Taoist friend Lin first mentioned that Tao respects the Tao and Tao respects people. Do you think the basis of the conclusion that we are in the Great Tao but are not bound by the Great Tao is that the Tao respects the Tao.”

"It would be very different if...it would be very different. Fellow Taoist Lin is a Taoist, and you should not follow this conclusion at all. This is just the first step in the Taoist way."

“Personally, I think Daoyou Lin should get out of the current framework.”
