Chapter 354: Preaching Place
Ji Zhaoyang slowly opened his eyes, and the dizziness caused by long-distance travel filled his brain.
Looking around, the four soul-refining masters and two great masters who were traveling with him also woke up from the distortion of time and space travel.
"It seems that everyone is fine."
Ji Zhaoyang breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment he had the mind to check the surrounding environment.
They were in a mountain range, with towering mountains and dense vegetation, a vibrant natural scene.
In front of them, the turbulent river water rushed down from the mountains.
Several cultivators subconsciously looked directly at this long river. The winding river and flowing water seemed to carry some unknown Taoist rhyme, which made people subconsciously want to step into it.
A young soul-refining cultivator had an obsessed look and subconsciously stepped into the river, but was stopped by Ji Zhaoyang's stern shout.
"Stop!"
The young soul-refining cultivator was shocked and quickly woke up from his previous state.
Ji Zhaoyang said with a serious expression:
"Everything in Luotian Realm is the result of the teachings of the Supreme Being, including mountains, forests, birds, beasts, and rivers.
The Dao carried by most of these things is too small to be understood by practitioners, but some of them are too huge, and rash contact will bring great danger."
Several spiritual cultivators were shocked, and a great immortal in the Return to Void Realm asked directly:
"Does His Royal Highness the Third Prince mean that there is something wrong with these rivers?"
"It's not the rivers that have problems." Ji Zhaoyang shook his head, with an unprecedented solemnity in his expression.
"There is something wrong with all the water in Luotian Realm."
"Whether it is rivers, lakes, seas, rain, ice and snow, they all carry unimaginable Dao rhyme.
If you simply touch it, it's fine, but once you try to comprehend the Dao in it, you will inevitably be assimilated by the Dao if you can't see through its essence.
In the Luotian Dharma Assembly of various realms from ancient times to the present, there are many water gods and water dragons appointed by the Heavenly Court, but even they can't escape the assimilation of the Dao.
Thirty thousand years ago, the eldest prince of the Yellow River Dragon Palace was extremely talented. He relied on his ancestral dragon bloodline to try to comprehend the water Dao in Luotian Realm, but in the end he died in Luotian Realm."
Everyone took a breath of cold air, and there was fear in their eyes.
Ji Zhaoyang paused for a moment, then sighed and added:
"According to the speculation of the immortals in the upper realm, the great Dao passed down by the Great Heavenly Venerable Daode is hidden in the rivers, lakes and seas of the Luotian Realm.
Once you understand it, you can embark on the path of Dao and worship the Great Heavenly Venerable, and you can also expect the Golden Immortal Dao.
However, since the Luotian Dharma Assembly in all realms, no one has been able to comprehend it, and only the four-character mantra has been passed down in the Tushita Palace."
"The highest good is like water!"
Several True Men of Refining Spirits and Great True Men of Returning Void under Ji Zhaoyang whispered subconsciously.
"The highest good is like water?"
Some people couldn't help but glance at the long river that buried countless geniuses from ancient times to the present, and shuddered subconsciously.
"How can this kind of water be related to goodness?"
After Ji Zhaoyang explained the reason, everyone took the initiative to stay away from the long river and explore in other directions.
However, due to concerns about the environment of the Luotian Realm, everyone did not choose to fly in the air, but walked through the mountains and forests.
Many of the cultivators present were at the lowest level of the Refining Spirit Realm, and even if they did not fly with the Light of Escape, their speed would not be much slower.
And in the process of crossing the dense forest, Ji Zhaoyang and others also saw the strangeness of the Luotian Realm.
There were strange flowers blooming in the forest, and the true rhythm of the Great Dao was spreading in them. If you concentrate and listen, you can increase your understanding of the Great Dao.
A white deer walked in the mountains and forests and spoke human language, asking everyone.
If you can answer the white deer's questions, you will be blessed by the golden light of morality from the sky.
If you answer incorrectly or try to attack, the white deer will hide in the mountains and forests, and even the Great Immortal Huanxu, who has merged with the heaven and earth, cannot spy on its traces.
Of course, it is not completely safe in the mountains.
Everyone has seen a Refining Void Great Monster leading a group of monsters to fight with a deafening sound.
They have also seen a dark abyss tearing the earth and swallowing all things with the rhyme of the Dao.
The cultivators who were born in the middle world of the Dayin Dynasty became cautious in these endless mountains and forests, fearing that they would touch some unknown crisis.
It took Ji Zhaoyang and his companions three days to cross the forests of Wanli.
However, Ji Zhaoyang and his companions also gained a lot of benefits in the process, especially Ji Zhaoyang had a deeper understanding of the world, and his cultivation, which had already reached the peak of the soul refining, could break through at any time.
Ji Zhaoyang was very proud, but for some reason he always felt that something was missing from this trip.
After flying through a forest again, Ji Zhaoyang could already see the sunshine and fields beyond the mountains.
Finally relieved, Ji Zhaoyang led everyone to quickly step out of the last forest.
Just when Ji Zhaoyang thought that the journey would come to an end temporarily, a long river that was more turbulent than before blocked everyone's eyes.
Ji Zhaoyang's smile froze, and he looked at the river with some fear and hesitated in his heart.
"Your Highness the Third Prince, there is a boat there."
A great immortal Huanxu said.
Ji Zhaoyang's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he quickly looked in the direction pointed by the Great Immortal, and saw an old man rowing a boat to ferry people along the long river.
"Although the long river in Luotian Realm is extremely dangerous, it is said that as long as you take a boat in Luotian Realm, you can temporarily block the influence of Tao Yun."
At that moment, there was no more hesitation in their hearts, and everyone hurried to the riverside.
When the old man saw Ji Zhaoyang and others approaching, he took the initiative to dock the old boat on the shore, smiled and asked:
"Are these gentlemen trying to cross the river?"
"Exactly." Ji Zhaoyang looked at the old man in front of him and did not detect any traces of cultivation on the old man.
Feeling a little relieved, Ji Zhaoyang took the initiative to take out a few pieces of gold from the storage ring and handed them to the old man.
"Can this thing be used as shipping funds?"
"Enough! Enough!"
The old man took the gold with a smile and invited everyone on board.
After everyone was seated, the old man gently held the boat and sailed slowly towards the long river.
Sitting in the boat and looking around, everyone felt relieved after confirming that the influence of Daoyun in the river had been weakened.
The old man punting the boat asked everyone in a leisurely manner:
"I see that all of you gentlemen are also knowledgeable scholars. Could it be that you are also preparing to go to Jixia Academy to discuss Taoism?"
"Jixia Academy?"
Ji Zhaoyang raised his eyebrows. There was very little information from the Luotian Realm from the Dayin royal family. Most of it was basic information such as river water and Taoist rhyme. However, he had never heard of the name of Jixia Academy.
Everyone looked at each other, and finally Ji Zhaoyang took the initiative and said:
"We have just bid farewell to Master and are traveling around the world. We know very little about the outside world. May I ask, elder, what is Jixia Academy?"
The old man who punted the boat chuckled and said:
"This Jixia Academy was founded by the King of Qi. It was originally a place to train literati for Qi State. However, as the reputation of Jixia Academy gradually spread, more and more scholars from other countries also joined Jixia Academy. palace.
So Emperor Zhou ordered that Jixia Academy no longer belonged to a certain country's academy, but became a place for literati from all over the world to discuss Taoism.
For hundreds of years, scholars have established schools in Jixia Academy and spread knowledge and ideas, leading to the current glorious age. "
Ji Zhaoyang's eyes lit up.
After these days of contact, he clearly realized that Luo Tianjie was different from the outside world in a special way.
The knowledge in Luotian Realm contains the true meaning of the Tao, which can help them realize the existence of the Tao in advance.
As the place where the world's knowledge gathers, Jixia Academy must have more knowledge and avenues, and its importance is self-evident.
If you can gain some true meaning of the Dao in Jixia Academy, you will have the confidence to enter the realm of Hedao in the future.
Not only Ji Zhaoyang, the other practitioners also had expressions of emotion on their faces.
"May I ask, elder, where is Jixia Academy?"
The old man punting the boat said leisurely:
"Jixia Academy is in the capital of Qi State, tens of thousands of miles away from here.
However, if you have never heard of Jixia Academy before, please think twice before proceeding. "
Ji Zhaoyang said in surprise: "Why is this?"
"The disciples want to start the great ceremony of discussing Taoism in Jixia Academy.
The old man originally thought that the young master was a member of various schools of thought, so there was no harm in going to Jixia Academy to observe rituals and discuss Taoism.
But if the young master is not from a hundred families, his life may be in danger if he goes to discuss the Tao and perform great rituals. "
Having said this, the old man punting the boat shook his head with a grimace on his face.
"It's just a discussion, how can one's life be in danger?"
Ji Zhaoyang obviously didn't believe it, so he took the initiative to comfort him:
"Elder, please rest assured, we still have some ability to protect ourselves."
The old man who punted the boat glanced at Ji Zhaoyang and others, looking like he was about to speak but hesitated.
The boat slowly docked at the shore. Ji Zhaoyang and others got off the boat to thank the old man, and then quickly rushed towards the capital of Qi State.
After leaving the rolling mountains and forests, everyone was traveling much faster, and some simple towns and farmland could be seen along the way.
As he got closer to Jixia Academy, a master of Lian Shen who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke:
"Since we can get the news about Jixia Academy from the old man who punted the boat, if His Highness the Crown Prince makes some inquiries, we might also be able to get the news.
If he rashly headed to Jixia Academy like this, wouldn't there be a high chance that he would bump into the prince directly? "
As soon as these words came out, everyone slowed down and showed a look of uncertainty on their faces.
"What Master He said is absolutely true."
"Our main purpose is not to gain benefits from the Luotian Dharma Assembly of the Worlds, but to ensure that we can return to the imperial capital alive."
"The prince is powerful, we should avoid his edge."
"The prince's family has entered the Luotian Realm, and there are three great masters of Huanxu, and there is even a master of Lianxu who has hidden his identity. Please think twice, the third prince."
Ji Zhaoyang frowned and looked at the people around him with an unhappy expression.
"The strength of the Prince's family is extraordinary, but it's not that we don't have trump cards, as long as we have them."
Halfway through his words, Ji Zhaoyang's expression froze and he suddenly got stuck.
His eyes once again glanced at the practitioners present. Including himself, there were a total of four real gods, including himself, and two real masters of Huanxu. There seemed to be no problem with the number of people, but Ji Zhaoyang always felt that something was missing.
"No! Who is missing?"
In an unknown place, Shen Yuan looked around, it was still dark and hazy.
Looking down at himself, the thin mist covered his body, as if it had cut off all heavenly secrets and cause and effect. Even Shen Yuan himself could not see through the physical body under the mist.
Shen Yuan even once doubted whether this was his own body.
Not long ago, Luotian Dojo followed the void passage and transported everyone to Luotian Realm. With the space dizziness caused by the void shuttle, most people lost consciousness immediately.
Only Shen Yuan possesses the Great Path of Space and remains awake while traveling through the long-distance void. He even has the mind to capture the rhythm of the void and understand the path.
However, the moment Luotian Dojo entered Luotian Realm, a strange light shrouded Shen Yuan, causing him to suddenly lose consciousness for a brief period.
When he woke up again, he was already in this dark and hazy space.
Although he didn't know where this was, Shen Yuan was certain that this was definitely not Luo Tianjie.
According to the information provided by Ji Zhaoyang, although Luotian Realm is a strange place, it basically retains the operating logic of the normal world, and there will be no scene like this.
After hesitating for a while, Shen Yuan realized that if he didn't take the initiative to make a choice, nothing would change, so he took the initiative to explore the surroundings.
Walking in this dark and hazy unknown land, Shen Yuan seemed to be stirring up the boundless fog, and the darkness was like an invisible giant beast opening its mouth to swallow everything.
Shen Yuan didn't know how long he had been walking. As the infinite darkness slowly faded, the fog in front of him seemed to become lighter.
At this moment, a figure strode over from the other side of the mist.
It was a vague figure wearing a bright yellow Taoist robe, holding a fly whisk in his right hand, walking like a tiger and a dragon with a proud look on the world.
Wherever the steps reached, the endless mist actually gave way and opened up a path here.
"Huh?"
The figure in the bright yellow robe seemed to see Shen Yuan shrouded in fog. He paused slightly in his progress and stared at Shen Yuan with some confusion.
"The preaching is about to begin, why are you still here?"
"Preach?" Shen Yuan's heart suddenly trembled, and for some reason he immediately thought that the background of the Luotian Dharma Assembly in all realms was that the Daode Tianzun preached to the heavens.
Before Shen Yuan could respond, the bright yellow Taoist figure shook his head and said:
"I almost forgot that you are not good at time. In addition, you are unable to manifest your true nature. It is normal that it is difficult to lock the time node in this confusion."
As he spoke, the figure in bright yellow robes waved his whisk lightly, and the endless fog froze for an instant, and then a clear road opened up here.
"Let's go!"
The figure in Minghuang Taoist robe strode forward, and Shen Yuan followed subconsciously.
Walking on this clear road, Shen Yuan's body's magical power of returning wind and returning fire can clearly perceive the traces of stagnant time, as if an invisible hand forcibly stopped the torrent of history and opened up a road that spans time.
The aura of greatness almost made Shen Yuan's soul tremble, and the incomplete personality of Emperor Fengdu in the depths of his true soul flashed crazily, allowing Shen Yuan to resist this aura of supreme power.
"who is he?"
"Where is this?"
Doubts just arose in Shen Yuan's heart, but he saw the figure wearing a bright yellow Taoist robe slowly turned around. A pair of eyes were staring at Shen Yuan under the mist, and the divine light bloomed as if he could see all the worlds of Jambu. , discern all the truth.
"You seem a little restless?"
"Emperor Donghua Shaoyang!"
