Poor mountains and rivers, in front of a cave with no scenery;

Taoist Ran Deng lit up twelve futons at random and sat in front of a stone wall.

All the immortals raised their hands to invite each other, and after a little humility, they took their seats one by one. They were only three feet away from Ran Deng, and they all secretly held important treasures. From time to time, their eyes fell on the stone wall behind Taoist Ran Deng.

Li Ping'an is facing Ran Deng, with Master Xuandu on the left and Master Yuding on the right.

He glanced at the futon next to Ran Deng Taoist and wondered, "Are there any more immortals coming?"

Ran Deng sighed: "That strange being is everywhere. He should be watching you and me right now. We should just assume he is here."

The corners of Li Pingan's mouth twitched slightly.

Taoist Duobao sniffed it with the tip of his nose and muttered: "It doesn't feel like there is any important treasure here, but the strange thing is that the great roads are avoiding this place, the spiritual energy is also avoiding this place, and the vertical and horizontal lines of the universe are actually nothing here."

The archmage frowned and said, "Please let the deputy leader Ran Deng make it clear."

Ran Deng said the second sentence: "To be precise, he is actually my master."

All the immortals were shocked.

Although Taoist Ran Deng rarely takes action, it is difficult for others to accurately describe his strength;

But from this moment on, the Tao charm displayed by Ran Deng when facing the immortals, the Tao realm is definitely not weaker than the top powers of the three religions.

Does such a master have a master?

The deputy leader of Chanjiao has a master?

Ran Deng refused to say anything surprising, so he spoke the third sentence:

"There is a coffin in the stone wall behind me, and buried inside is a transcendent person. He came from beyond the wilderness and existed before the creation of the world. Taoist Hongjun who should have joined the Tao refused to join the Tao because of him."

Li Ping'an's hair stood on end all over his body.

Master Taiyi smiled and said: "It's a bit interesting."

The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit looked closely at Ran Deng's compassionate face, and the latter looked at the Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit calmly.

Our Lady of Jinling frowned and said, "Since you are the deputy leader of the Chan Cult, why are you talking nonsense here?"

Ran Deng smiled bitterly: "You are not talking nonsense. Today we should only invite the Quasi-Celestial Emperor to make early preparations and make long-term plans. It is natural that the Quasi-Celestial Emperor cannot believe in the poor Taoist. You are all top leaders in the Taoist sect. Let me tell you.

It doesn’t matter…this is the true nature of Pindao.”

After saying this, Taoist Ran Deng's figure became weak and pale.

A little candle burned from his chest.

It was a dark lamp, bronze in color, wrapped with mysterious Taoist charms.

Just this lamp made the immortals feel that there was something magical about it.

The dark lamp itself has given birth to a powerful spirituality, and this spirituality is Ran Deng Taoist; and the candlelight has also given birth to a vague spirituality, but this spirituality has not yet taken shape.

Once the candle flame is spiritually formed, it can become a living being.

Taoist Ran Deng concealed his lamp and tapped the stone wall behind him. A translucent area the size of a bowl appeared on the stone wall, and it was faintly visible that there was a stone coffin inside.

Li Ping'an sensed some kind of pressure.

The coercion was strong and light, mixed with boundless vitality and boundless will to die, as if the cycle of life and death were all contained in this sarcophagus.

Taoist Ran Deng sighed quietly: "He is my master, the one who transcends the outside world."

Taoist Duobao sniffed the tip of his nose and said, "There seem to be many treasures inside."

Guangchengzi glanced at Duobao helplessly and asked quickly: "What is detachment?"

"The foundation of detachment should be to prove the Tao through strength."

Taoist Ran Deng spoke calmly and calmly:

"I don't know much about the method of transcendence, I have only heard about it occasionally.

"Take the current world you and I live in as an example. Living things are born, old, sick and die, and so is the world. When the spiritual power of the world is exhausted and the way of heaven cannot operate, the thin film covering the world will be corroded by the breath of chaos, and the world will enter its twilight years.

"The death of living beings means the cessation of vitality; the death of heaven and earth means the return of heaven and earth to the sea of ​​chaos and assimilation by the sea of ​​chaos.

"Without the ability to transcend, you and I would be trapped here."

Li Ping'an keenly noticed something was wrong and immediately asked: "May I ask the deputy leader, after entering the Golden Fairyland, the living beings can enter the Sea of ​​Chaos. After stepping into the Great Luo, they can travel and explore from the Sea of ​​Chaos, and the heaven and earth will become annihilated. These are

The master is hiding in the sea of ​​chaos, is he detached?"

"No," Taoist monk Ran Deng sighed, "no matter where you go or how far away you are, when the heaven and earth are destroyed, the inescapable Daluo, Taiyi, and Golden Immortals should be destroyed."

"cough!"

The Archmage cleared his throat:

"Ping An and all the junior brothers and sisters have not yet understood this level, so I will simply add.

"The basis of spiritual cultivation is to breathe in spiritual energy, let the spiritual power of heaven and earth stay in oneself, refine the Tao body, condense the soul, and achieve the great road.

"In the process of continuously accumulating spiritual power, as the Tao realm improves, the invisible, unheard and unknowable power of the origin of heaven and earth, or the dust of immortality, will continue to accumulate in the body of living beings.

"This is the principle of [the cultivator's affairs are stolen from heaven and earth].

"Just like you, Ping An, after you break through the realm of immortality, you have enough dust of immortality in your body. It is these dust of immortality that prevent you from suffering natural birth, old age, illness and death.

"The amount of dust of immortality is closely related to the Tao realm. As for how the living beings capture the dust of immortality, the teacher cannot explain this matter.

"There should be a great principle here.

"You are like Emperor Xuanyuan. In order to maintain the longevity of his huge harem of three thousand women, you gave away most of the dust of immortality you accumulated. This is what is called a loss of origin.

"Of course, this Immortal Dust is just a name I gave myself. When the teacher guided me to understand this way, he didn't say what it was...

"There are many things that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words."

Li Pingan nodded slowly and sensed himself carefully.

——Because he is only in the eighth-grade Golden Immortal realm, he is completely unaware of the existence of the original matter of heaven and earth.

But he immediately thought that the rapid improvement in his cultivation and that of the female demon might be related to the so-called original material of heaven and earth.

Ran Deng said: "Therefore, living beings are part of the heaven and earth. When they leave the heaven and earth and enter the sea of ​​chaos, if the original heaven and earth are destroyed, the original things of the heaven and earth will disappear, and they will also turn into the breath of chaos, and everything will return to its original state."

Li Ping'an said: "So, the basis of detachment is to prove the Tao through strength. Only by becoming a sage can one be free from the constraints of the original heaven and earth?"

Ran Deng said: "Proving the Tao through strength is the highest method. If there is a Taoist saint to guide you, your own strength is not much worse than the Taoist saint, and you can transcend... like Hongjun."

All the Taoist immortals kept silent.

Houtu Zuwu frowned and said: "What Taoist friend means is that the teacher has a detached mind. If you can't prove the Tao with your strength, you can only rely on the things in this coffin..."

"Well," Ran Deng sighed, "so Taoist Hongjun did not dare to refuse my master's request. Why were the six leaders able to become saints? It was because my master went to find Hongjun and asked him to bring out the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

"

"Ah this?"

Master Taiyi frowned and was about to mutter, but Guang Chengzi directly covered his mouth.

Don't say things you shouldn't say.

Maybe the mysterious Taoist Hongjun is watching this place.

Yuding asked: "Fellow Taoist has explained so much, but he hasn't said anything about what we need to be careful about."

Ran Deng showed an expression that seemed to be crying and laughing at the same time.

"The one you need to be wary of is me, the master, the transcendent person in the sarcophagus. He is actually the teacher who leads Yin and Zhunti.

"He was seriously injured, and fortunately he was seriously injured.

"But he is here, in the very center of this world. Hongjun knows it and Taiqing knows it, but they can't do anything about him and can only watch him here.

"Except for urging the six leaders to become saints, he rarely takes action and does not interfere with the operation of this ancient world. He is just waiting for the moment when this world becomes extinct and takes away the remaining origin of this world."

Li Ping'an was startled for a moment, looking at the stone wall slightly lost in thought.

If that's the case, then this transcendent person is actually... the biggest fun-loving person in the world?

The spirit in this coffin is waiting quietly for the death of heaven and earth...

Not quite right.

What if heaven and earth do not cease to exist?

Li Ping'an raised his hand to signal and frowned: "I have a question. In this case, your master...is his existence harmful to the prehistoric world?"

Ran Deng was silent for a while, then sighed and said slowly:

"It's strange that Pindao's words are poor and he can't explain clearly directly.

"Pindao can tell you things that even Hongjun and Taiqing cannot know, but as long as Pindao tells them, they should know it.

"Transcendence is not the so-called immortality and ascension, attaining Taoism and immortality. When becoming an immortal or becoming a golden immortal, the living beings are placed in heaven and earth. The improvement of the Taoist realm can resonate with the origin of heaven and earth and thus fill one's own spiritual power.

“Detachment comes at a price.

"For example, my master, in order to transcend, refined the three thousand avenues of the world where he originally lived, and buried the entire world in a sarcophagus."
