The envoy from the South China Sea Dragon Clan stayed for about a month and reluctantly left Xiyun Mansion.

Although they really wanted to stay, it was a pity that they were not here for tourism and had to rush back as soon as possible to report the results.

As they left, Zuo Chongming was free again.

Of course, this was only what others saw. In fact, he had been thinking about and studying the way out of martial arts.

The meal must be eaten one bite at a time, and the road must be walked step by step.

Even the methods of cultivating gods in the age of gods, or the methods of cultivating immortals in the ancient times, were slowly explored.

Compared with these two splendid eras, the current era of martial arts was born too short, so martial arts must still have a way forward.

On this day, Zuo Chongming was staying in the room drinking tea alone, and he casually threw the list of gods on the table.

With the flash of brilliance, Ancestor Tianhu, Yuhuang, and Lan Yu appeared one after another.

Lan Yu looked at his thoughtful expression and asked curiously: "What are you thinking about?"

Zuo Chongming came back to his senses and said calmly: "What state am I in above the realm of thought and appearance?"

Yuhuang rolled his eyes and curled his lips and said: "Hey, you are only in the astrological realm now, and you are not far away from the Dharma. Why do you want to be so far away?"

"hehe."

Zuo Chongming smiled lightly and said nothing more.

For him now, the Dharma Realm is just a question of whether he wants to do it, not whether he can do it.

Ancestor Tianhu was silent for a moment and asked softly: "What have you come up with?"

"Have some clues."

Zuo Chongming knocked on the table and muttered: "The method of cultivating the gods actually has no realm, so it has no reference significance."

"Essentially speaking, martial arts and immortality belong to the same source. They just go in different directions and go in opposite directions."

Lan Yu came over curiously: "So?"

Although Yuhuang still had disdain on his face, he quietly pricked up his ears.

"Um……"

Zuo Chongming said: "The path to cultivating immortals is divided into four steps, which are to induce Qi to enlighten the spirit, to build the foundation with golden elixir, to condense the soul to transform into an infant, and to transcend the soul..."

"Martial arts are divided into quenching the body and coagulating blood, returning to the sea of ​​origin, and astrological phenomena. In comparison, the immortal path is higher than the martial arts."

"According to the clues we currently have, the so-called detachment in immortality is actually going to heaven, and there is little contact between heaven and the secular world."

Ancestor Tianhu nodded slightly: "Well, that sounds reasonable."

In its dusty memory, there is indeed a barrier between heaven and the world.

A strong man in Heaven will not appear once in hundreds of years. Only monks who have reached the pinnacle of cultivation in the world will be led to Heaven.

"Tsk~!"

Zuo Chongming took a sip of tea and smacked his lips with unfinished content: "In this case, a question naturally arises."

"Why are only monks who have reached the fourth step qualified to go to heaven? Why do those strong people have to be isolated from the world?"

Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "I don't understand a little bit."

"Put it another way."

Zuo Chongming smiled and said: "If you understand heaven as a dynasty, will you block the gates of the capital? How can you govern everything in the world?"

"So I think there is something wrong with what is recorded in the book, and it may not be correct. Heaven may be more than just an institution where the strong rule the world."

There is a saying: It is better to have no books at all than to believe in books.

Books are written by people and must contain personal subjective consciousness. Even history books cannot be completely fair and correct...

Therefore, when Zuo Chongming reads a book, he often makes cross comparisons and mutual verifications to find out whether the information in it is true or false.

Emperor Yu couldn't help but ask: "If heaven is not like what is written in the book, what else can it be?"

Zuo Chongming glanced at her and said solemnly: "Fortress! Frontline!"

"What?"

Lan Yu and Yuhuang looked at each other in shock, but the ancestor Tianhu had a solemn face, as if he was deep in thought.

"Do you remember Tathagata?"

Zuo Chongming said: "Although the ancient alien tribes destroyed the age of gods and 90% of the gods died, some of them still managed to survive."

"They are not fools. Since the ancient alien race has not been resurrected or occupied this world, it means that the other party has other purposes and is likely to come back."

"So, these guys who survived the age of gods will definitely pass on this news through some obscure channel."

"Because of this, the demon clan established the Demon Court in the early ancient times, with the purpose of resisting the ancient alien races..."

"Later, when the human race rose up and defeated the demon race, they naturally knew this secret, so they occupied the demon court and changed it to the heavenly court."

"In addition to shocking the world, heaven is also a place for top monks to communicate and practice, as well as a bridgehead to resist foreign enemies."

After saying these words, Patriarch Tianhu and the others couldn't help but remain silent.

Although these words are too shocking, the amount of information contained is even more terrifying.

But I have to admit that this is indeed more reasonable, at least more reasonable than the mere phrases recorded in ancient books.

"hiss……."

Lan Yu woke up, smacked his lips and said, "After you put it this way, it is indeed very logical."

Zuo Chongming continued: "If my analysis is correct, then the last two words of the fourth step of the immortal path, the transcendence of the soul, can be ignored."

"Because the transcendence here is not transcending everything and achieving the supreme thing as the world thinks...it is actually the threshold to heaven."

"The real key point is the word Yuanshen. I read a lot of immortal techniques and found that it is essentially the further sublimation of the soul."

Yuhuang frowned: "Um, so what?"

Zuo Chongming shrugged and said calmly: "So the topic went back to the same issue, the difference between immortality and martial arts."

"It is undeniable that both have their own advantages and disadvantages, but when it comes to the soul, martial arts is far inferior to immortality."

To give the simplest example, martial arts is about constantly enhancing hardware equipment, while celestial beings are about software and hardware advancing hand in hand.

Perhaps in terms of combat effectiveness, the Immortal Way is slightly inferior to the Martial Arts, but in terms of longevity and soul, the Immortal Way is far stronger than the Martial Arts...

Because martial arts are too far behind in terms of soul, and there is no data in this area in the world, they are unable to break through the upper limit of the Dharma Realm.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lan Yu curiously asked: "Then have you thought of a solution?"

"Have some clues."

Zuo Chongming sighed: "Although the threshold for the improved Rune Martial Arts is much higher, in theory everyone can practice it. There are no innate limitations such as spiritual veins."

"Moreover, the emergence of Rune Martial Arts has completely solved the problem of demonic erosion and alienation of warriors."

"This kind of erosion is a comprehensive erosion of the body and soul. Rune Martial Arts solves this problem, which is equivalent to erasing future troubles."

"But martial arts is indeed inherently deficient in terms of soul. In addition, as the level increases, the hardware (body) becomes more extreme."

"This will actually make it more difficult for martial arts to break through this bottleneck than for immortality, just like the difference between a wall and a net."

"The next thing I have to do is how to find a correct way to sublimate the soul, or a method..."

These guys who cultivate immortality are like a net. They are always in contact with the heaven and earth, including the spells they cast.

But the warrior has built his body into a solid, airtight wall, forming a world of its own. It will be even harder to break through.

Ancestor Tianhu's eyes flickered, and he suddenly said something shocking: "Nine-character mantra?"

"clever."

Zuo Chongming glanced at her approvingly.

As expected of an old monster who has lived for such a long time, he can really tell the truth.

"What's the meaning?"

Lan Yu and Yu Huang looked at each other, both of them somewhat confused.

Ancestor Tianhu organized something to say, and explained in a deep voice: "The nine-character mantra implies the great road, and there may be mantras involving the soul."

"Since the problem of spiritual veins can be solved by imprinting runes, then the soul aspect...maybe it can also be done, isn't it?"

Lan Yu suddenly thought of something, frowned and said, "Hey, by the way, didn't I remember that Nan Liuli gave you two leads?"

Zuo Chongming nodded: "The Demon King of the Red Sea has the character 'Ji', and the character for Fangcun Mountain has the character 'Lin'. According to Nan Liuli's clues, I found two characters, 'Bing' and 'Dou'."

"Of these four ancient mantras, both Lin and He involve the soul, but they are incidental effects, not the main function."

"It can be concluded from this that among the remaining five ancient mantras, there must be a mantra that affects the soul, but I don't know which one it is."

Emperor Yu was dumbfounded and shocked when he heard this. He couldn't help but murmured: "You have collected four of the nine-character mantras of ancient times without knowing it?"

Zuo Chongming sneered disapprovingly: "It's a pity that there is nothing I need."

Yuhuang opened his mouth and sighed: "You are really... greedy. Did you know that if you get one of the ancient mantras, you can become a strong person by making good use of them..."
