Chapter 288

Whether it is the true immortal Dao fruit in the narrow sense of the Shrouded Heaven great universe, or the Dharma-body human immortal listed in the immortal class of the One World great universe, it is a leap in life level, involving the level of Dao.

"Flesh rebirth, moving mountains and filling seas, is only at the level of magic, not involving the Great Dao." Lin Xian said faintly: "I am just an ordinary mortal who knows some divine channel arts, that's all."

Ordinary mortal?

The Daoist priests on Longhu Mountain twitched their mouths, secretly glancing at Zhang Zhiwei, couldn't help but mutter in their hearts, how do you old gods like to compete with us for being mortals.

If rebirth of flesh and blood is considered an ordinary mortal, then what are they, these true mortals who draw talismans and practice Qi?

Street performers who sing and play tricks in the rivers and lakes? Or clowns who entertain themselves!

"High mountain looking up, high mountain looking up..."

Even though Lin Xian denied it, Tian Jinzhong was still incomparably excited, chanting this idiom over and over; in his heart, Lin Xian was no different from a god.

Not only did his limbs return, but even his meridians were recast, and he could practice again, which for a cultivator is a grace of rebirth.

"Great kindness and virtue, nothing to repay, can only express my heart."

"True Monarch, please take the seat, Rongshan has good tea."

Tian Jinzhong got off the ground for the first time in decades, regained control of his body, and couldn't help but entertain personally, using the etiquette of welcoming ancestors and receiving immortals, inviting Lin Xian to step through the main gate, enter the main hall, and be a guest of honor.

A group of Longhu disciples bathed and burned incense one after another, raised flags and swept away filth, paid respects to the high saints, vast and mighty, blowing Dao music, ringing dharma drums, causing peace to have an image.

Lin Xian wanted to decline, not liking this set of cumbersome etiquette, but suddenly his heart moved, and a bold thought was born; the One World great universe is unusual, and mythological legends possess power.

Creating legends and spreading names is not only a harvest of faith power, but also an opportunity to leave a brand in heaven and earth, laying a solid foundation for the future road of legends and pointing out his other self.

The orthodox promotion to the legend road requires understanding "I am me", and sensing the "other self" scattered throughout the Myriad Worlds and parallel universes, pointing them out as "self" projections.

Since then, the nature spirit light resides in the infinitely high place, the body becomes the only one in all worlds, omnipresent, the projection does not perish, and the body does not die, the legendary great expert.

Therefore, the true self of the real world is easier to achieve legend and awaken essence than the countless other selves of the lower worlds.

However, Lin Xian is not a creature of the One World great universe; he seems to come from the real world within Fu Emperor's body, but he is unique and does not have an other self, so he cannot walk the road of all selves returning to one.

Cannot return all laws to one, then create all laws from one.

Walking in all worlds, leaving one legend, myth, miracle, and artificially creating an other self.

This kind of thing is extremely difficult for ordinary cultivators; to go to another world, one must become a legend or possess legendary characteristics; to become a legend and possess legendary characteristics, one must project to another world, like a dead cycle.

But for Lin Xian, it is not difficult, because he cheats!

At this thought, Lin Xian looked back at Tian Jinzhong and said: "My descent this time is not to save Fellow Daoist alone, but to save all living beings, reopen the immortal road, and widely spread the method of ascension!"

"Immortal road, ascension?" Zhang Zhiwei muttered, a trace of essence light appearing in his eyes.

He has already stood at the peak of the mortal world, invincible in the world; if it weren't for Lin Xian, this exception, and enemies coming from heaven, he would truly have no rivals, and life would be lonely like snow.

According to reason, he is the one who wants to ascend the most.

But at this moment, Zhang Zhiwei hesitated and was silent.

"Spread Dao law!" Tian Jinzhong was shocked; the focus of the two old Daoists was completely different, because they were in different positions, and what they saw was also different.

"Then the company side..." Tian Jinzhong's expression was solemn, fearing that Lin Xian didn't know the red line of population, and told it again incomparably seriously.

Population red line, that is to say, the number of Otherworlders; if the number of Otherworlders constantly increases, the ethnic cohesive consciousness of the loose Otherworlders will become stronger and stronger, and the risk of ordinary people discovering the existence of Otherworlders will become higher and higher.

When the ratio of Otherworlder population to world population exceeds this population red line, it will break through the social bearing threshold, similar to the destruction of Buddhism in the Northern Wei period and the witch hunting events in the European Middle Ages will repeat.

"Population red line?" Lin Xian shook his head and said indifferently: "This is a pseudo-proposition; if the population red line really existed, then what about Zhuge Liang of the Three Kingdoms? What about the black-clothed prime minister Yao Guangxiao."

As an Otherworlder, holding the supreme power of the country, it is simply rubbing the population red line on the ground; Otherworlders not only broke through the restrictions but also became the highest ruling class.

"But Zhuge Kongming failed after all." Tian Jinzhong muttered: "Black-clothed prime minister, after all, is not the Emperor."

"Then what about the Son of Heaven?" Lin Xian chuckled: "The emperors of ancient times all wished to call themselves the Son of Heaven, reincarnated gods; does this count as Otherworlders being exposed to the world openly."

Tian Jinzhong was stunned; yes, the Son of Heaven, how did he forget the existence of this bug on the side of the Son of Heaven.

Unlike the West, on this land of the Eastern Empire, royal power and divine power are in a superimposed state; the Emperor is a human, and also a god.

The Son of Heaven can seal gods with one word, destroy Buddhism and Daoism as he pleases, because he himself is the greatest god in the mortal world, second only to the Haotian God!

"Junior brother..."

Zhang Zhiwei took a deep breath, patted Tian Jinzhong on the shoulder, and then signaled Baron and other Longhu disciples to go down, finally saying meaningfully: "This should be a secret in the Heavenly Master Degree, I shouldn't reveal it to you, and I can't reveal it to you."

"Fortunately, a few years ago, I reached the half-step external scenery realm, and the prohibition loosened a bit."

"I can reveal some unimportant secrets."

"The so-called population red line, in ancient times, actually had another saying, and that is family clans!"

As the uncle master of Longhu Mountain, Tian Jinzhong is naturally not illiterate, naturally understands the allusions of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, and subconsciously blurted out: "Nine-Rank Middle-Right System?"

The Nine-Rank Middle-Right System was the official selection system in ancient times before the imperial examination system, through family, character, and talent, to determine a person's grade, and then bestow official positions.

The original intention of this system was good, wanting to select true talents, but it was executed badly by family clans, often not avoiding relatives when recommending the virtuous, and rating their relatives and friends as high-grade.

Over time, it formed a situation where there were no poor families in the high-grade and no scholars in the low-grade, leading to the comprehensive collapse of the Chinese Empire, entering the dark era of the Five Hu chaos and wars between countries, creating hundreds of years of chaotic times.

But, what does this have to do with the population red line?!

Not only Tian Jinzhong was a bit confused, but Lin Xian also looked over curiously, wanting to understand the secrets in the Heavenly Master Degree.

"Not bad, family clans have a long history, and there is no lack of strange people and scholars, some inheritances are ancient, and simply are Otherworlder worlds, such as Zhuge Kongming, who is a branch of the Eastern Han Zhuge family."

Zhang Zhiwei narrowed his eyes, drew a wavy line with his finger, and said meaningfully: "The ratio of Otherworlders to ordinary people is actually in a fluctuating state; in more distant ancient times, the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, Gonggong and Zhurong, these tribal leaders were all Otherworlders."

"At that time, gods and humans lived together, and a tribe full of Otherworlders was not difficult, such as Jiuli."

"Until later, the Human Emperor Xuanyuan was born, and Emperor Zhuanxu cut off the communication between heaven and earth, separating this pattern, no longer manifesting holiness in front of people nakedly, but Otherworlders were still high above, mastering power."

"The intersection of Shang and Zhou, the Great War of Conferred Gods, not only did one sect after another participate, but those princes and generals themselves were Otherworlders, ruling these territories."

"This situation continued until the casting of golden men in the pre-Qin period, the unification of the six states, and the uprising of the Gaozu cutting the white snake; Otherworlders gradually moved from the front to the back, from blood nobles occupying land as a country to family clans."

"Finally, time came to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wei and Jin era, and the population red line completely erupted, because of the Nine-Rank Middle-Right System, family clans had no worries, bred without restraint, and generation after generation of Otherworlders were born, consuming too much luck and resources."

"Things reverse when they reach the extreme, prosperity comes after adversity; the ordinary people could no longer support the Otherworlders, the order of the mortal world completely collapsed, not only ordinary people, but also slightly weaker Otherworlders would be crushed by the era, and the world no longer had civilization and morality, completely becoming a beast fighting arena."

"Mortals killing mortals, mortals killing Otherworlders, Otherworlders killing mortals, Otherworlders killing Otherworlders; what kind of world is that, it is a world of raising insects!"

Zhang Zhiwei finished speaking, and the prohibition power of the Heavenly Master Degree made him unable to reveal details.

However, having said this, anyone could guess a bit of the truth.

"Finally, the luck of heaven and earth raised a few insect kings." Lin Xian nodded, thoughtfully reporting one name after another: "End of Eastern Han Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling, Wei and Jin Wei Huacun Yuanjun, Southern and Northern Dynasties Bodhidharma ancestor, Tang end True Immortal Lu Dongbin, Song end Zhang Sanfeng..."

Great opportunity, also great creation, there will always be people born in response to the times, at the end of the tribulation, there will be people feathering into immortals.

This is one of the secrets that the Heavenly Master Degree wants to convey!

No chaotic times, no immortality!

To become an immortal, one must absorb the luck of an era, be born in response to the times, absorb the essence of hundreds of years, and finally ascend.

"The last chaotic times, Eight Strange Skills..."

Tian Jinzhong's body trembled, blurted out: "It really is a technique of taking chaos!"

Immortal arts born because of chaotic times, isn't it a technique of taking chaos.

If an immortal holds it, he can still ascend and leave, not disturbing the mortal world too much; if a mortal holds it, it is to continue the chaotic times.

"No... wait!"

Tian Jinzhong looked back, looked at Lin Xian, and asked in confusion: "Then how did the True Monarch ascend."

"This is also where I don't understand."

Zhang Zhiwei smiled bitterly; if it weren't for Lin Xian, this accident, and the example of Lin Xian ascending without passing through luck, even if Tian Jinzhong was his junior brother, he would never have told him the secrets in the Heavenly Master Degree.

Luck ascension?

Lin Xian narrowed his eyes, thinking of the special nature of the One World great universe, secretly speculating that all the feathering and ascending people throughout history were not ascending by luck, but branding their other selves and returning to the original body.

Luck is just a tool used to create endless legends and myths, not the true meaning of ascension.

The other self and the original self are the key.

"I did not ascend by luck, but by martial arts breaking the void."

Lin Xian stretched out his palm, appearing a mountain, truly having that majestic momentum; he didn't change his face, standing like a mountain, and said faintly: "With this punch, the heavenly gate opens itself!"

"Longhu Mountain?!" Zhang Zhiwei looked at Lin Xian's palm, suddenly terrified, having a feeling that Longhu Mountain was really controlled by him.

Looking up at the sky, the four eyes met, and in the dark, it seemed that there was really a god-man carrying a mountain and walking.

"Can one achieve Dao and ascend by martial arts breaking the void with this realm?"

Zhang Zhiwei muttered, a trace of longing appearing in his eyes; that is the light of seeking Dao, invincible in the world for too long, he also wants to go to heaven to see, to see the great scenery.

If one can ascend without creating chaos, everyone wants longevity and immortality.

"Normal ascension?"

Lin Xian sensed the space barrier of this world, thoughtfully said: "As long as one reaches the external scenery level."

Inner scenery manifested and heaven and earth intersected, one's own Primordial Spirit, flesh, and heaven and earth power combined to form a dharma image, which is external scenery.

A master at this level strikes at will, which is dozens of miles, or even hundreds of miles, already stepping onto the immortal road, having a world of difference from the martial arts painting style of the Nine Apertures realm.

The pool of the One Person Under the World can at most breed Nine Apertures level experts; half-step external scenery is not even worth thinking about.

Zhang Zhiwei can break through this realm purely because Lin Xian, this cheater, descended, touched the world mechanism, and carried out a wave of counterattack; it is impossible to have a second accident.

"External scenery realm, there really is external scenery, then the dharma body also exists, and being listed in the immortal class is no longer a dream bubble."

Zhang Zhiwei muttered, incomparably emotional, then suddenly turned around, paid respects to Lin Xian, and asked incomparably seriously: "Dare to ask True Monarch, are you currently in external scenery? Or above it!"

External scenery?

The systems of the two great universes are different; the Dragon Transformation Secret Realm has the power to move mountains and fill seas, naturally able to crush any external scenery expert.

Moreover, Lin Xian is not an ordinary Dragon Transformation Secret Realm, able to compete with Immortal Platform First Layer cultivators.

Combat power should be calculated according to a half-step Great Expert.

Lin Xian pondered for a moment and said: "Now I can be considered the peak of external scenery, I am invincible below the immortal!"

The realm span of the One World great universe is too large, different from the Shrouded Heaven great universe where each realm is divided into several layers, and the Immortal Platform is divided into nine steps per layer, achieving infinite subdivision.

In this field of external scenery, even if a half-step dharma body Grandmaster is brought, Lin Xian can use the brute force of a Shrouded Heaven cultivator to beat him to the ground and rub him crazily.

But no matter how weak a human immortal is, it is not something Lin Xian can contend with now.

Dharma body human immortal, already able to roam the universe with the physical body, escaping speed in an instant, this is the divine power only Sages in Shrouded Heaven possess.

Even if the destructive power is suppressed when in the real world, it can still destroy thousands of miles, ten thousand miles at will; outside the real world, when in the Myriad Heavens and Worlds, the destructive power is even greatly improved, having the power to destroy worlds.

It is not just the dharma body, the span of the legendary realm is also very large.

A cultivator who has just entered the legend is comparable to a Shrouded Heaven Quasi-Emperor.

A legendary perfection cultivator can fight a Red Dust Immortal.

This span is comparable to the system of the Perfect World.

Just like the Immortal Ancient Era, the Quasi-Emperor is a Supreme Being, the Great Emperor is a Supreme Being, and the Eight-Life Great Emperor is still a Supreme Being, all in the same field.
