Chapter 1039: Cultivate both inside and outside
Chapter 1039: Cultivate both inside and outside
Gradually, as the conversation progressed, Saint Ancestor and Lu Chen finally reached the 81st step - the top of the Heavenly Steps.
Qin Yu followed them to the destination. As expected, there were no more obstacles along the way. The Saint Ancestor was right. The last nine levels were just for show.
The words of the Saint Ancestor just now also touched him, but he was not as shocked as the Asura God King, because he had already learned about the extinction of the universe when he was in the Ten Thousand Demons Realm.
"The Heavenly Dao is destroyed, the universe is restarted, and all living things are destroyed"
"Only the true extreme can save us. The Shura Divine Realm is an independent path of reincarnation, outside the Three Realms."
From the conversation just now, Qin Yu has understood the significance of this place. Of course, he still doesn't know why it has become like this.
Shengzu and Lu Chen stood on the edge of the 81st step, looking into the distance
There is no sun or moon here. The master of everything is the Holy Ancestor. The Holy Ancestor is light, the god who controls everything.
Lu Chen's expression was solemn. It only took him a few minutes to quickly change from the ecstasy of being able to worship the Holy Ancestor as his master to the worry and anxiety he had now.
Originally, he thought that by ascending the Heavenly Steps and receiving the Saint Ancestor's inheritance, he would be able to become an unrivaled warrior, lead his compatriots to resist aggression and tyranny, and allow the human race to live a happy life.
But he never expected that the Holy Ancestor brought him a greater crisis - everything he cherished would be destroyed, and it could not be stopped!
Lu Chen was also a rare talent with an extraordinary character. At this moment, he had almost adjusted his emotions and asked the Saint Ancestor very seriously: "Master, you said that your Tao is not perfect. Only after it is completed can you achieve the ultimate realm."
The Saint Ancestor did not answer immediately. He raised his hand and tapped Lu Chen's forehead. Instantly, countless pieces of information were poured into Lu Chen's mind. This was the summary of the Saint Ancestor's life-long efforts in martial arts.
"This is..." Lu Chen continued to receive a huge amount of information, many of which were cultivation methods and ideas that Lu Chen had never seen before, and the Saint Ancestor finally compiled them into a comprehensive practice.
"Chaos Sacred Art!" Lu Chen said in a lost voice
The Holy Ancestor nodded and said: "This is the summary of my martial arts path. I will pass it on to you. You are now in the Star Lord Realm. You only need to practice according to the exercises. It will not be a problem to successfully break through to the God Realm."
"But it won't be able to help you on the road ahead. You need to find your own way and help me complete the Chaos Sacred Art so that it can become the true path to the ultimate realm."
Lu Chen stood there and read the Chaos Sacred Art quickly. The Saint Ancestor beside him quietly waited for his disciple to finish reading.
Not long after, Lu Chen withdrew from the soul space, and the Holy Ancestor said: "How is it, do you have any ideas?"
Lu Chen paused for a moment and then bowed his hands. "I dare to say, Master, I have observed your Chaos Sacred Art and found that the core focus of your technique is to devote yourself to the cultivation of your own universe, so as to break through the constraints of the external heavenly way."
The Saint Ancestor nodded with great satisfaction and said, "Yes, Lu Chen, you are indeed different from ordinary people. Even many of the Heavenly Lords of my clan cannot understand my Dao, but you have grasped the core after just reading it once at the Star Lord Realm. It turns out that you are destined to worship me as your master!"
Lu Chen was flattered and said, "Master, you are too kind!"
But the Saint Ancestor immediately changed the subject and asked, "Lu Chen, do you think there are any shortcomings in my Chaos Sacred Art?"
Faced with this question, Lu Chen fell into deep thought, and Shengzu added: "If you have any ideas, just speak up boldly."
After a moment, Lu Chen raised his head and looked at the Holy Ancestor, with a gleam in his eyes.
"Master, since the beginning of my martial arts training, I have been taught to pursue the state of unity between man and nature, to use the power of heaven and earth for my own benefit, and to use the great momentum of heaven and earth to achieve astonishing power."
"As my cultivation gradually improved, I came into contact with more and more powerful people. They taught me that practicing martial arts is against the will of heaven, and I must break through all shackles and achieve my own path."
"When we are weak, we hope to borrow external natural forces to strengthen ourselves. When we become strong, we want to abandon this part of the power and even put ourselves above nature. This kind of thinking has become the mainstream in the martial arts world."
"This is also the reason why the current cultivation rules divide the realms of cultivation according to the level of the universe in the body. In the final analysis, we are still cultivating ourselves."
“But I think that while self-cultivation is important, cultivating the world is equally indispensable.”
“Only when one has achieved the state of unity between man and nature and the true nature of the self, can it be called the perfect Tao.”
Lu Chen's words not only made the Holy Ancestor very satisfied, and he kept nodding in praise, but also made Qin Yu who was standing beside him deafening!
Along the way, Qin Yu obtained countless advanced skills from the soul sea memory light ball. It can be said that he has learned the strengths of hundreds of schools. This also made Qin Yu almost become a hexagonal warrior.
But what he learned was too complicated, which sometimes made him very distressed. He never thought about what kind of martial arts path he wanted to take.
Now, the words of the Asura God King have completely awakened Qin Yu. Although even the Holy Ancestor has never done this, Qin Yu still wants to give it a try!
Then Lu Chen changed the subject: "But... Master, now that I have this Chaos Sacred Art, I am not worried about the future of my inner cultivation at all, but as for my outer cultivation... I don't know how to explore it."
The Holy Ancestor nodded and said, "Throughout the ages, there have been only a handful of people who have been able to cultivate the extracorporeal universe to the extreme. Even as your teacher, I can only say that I have some experience, but I am still far from achieving perfection."
"In the final analysis, we took the wrong path from the beginning, and by the time we realized it, it was already too late to turn back."
"But you are different, Lu Chen. Your martial arts journey has just begun, and everything is uncertain."
"So I hope that you will not only practice the Chaos Sacred Art, but also find a perfect way to practice the extracorporeal universe. The most important thing is to complete the initial fusion of the two before you advance to the Heavenly Venerable! Otherwise, you will be like me, and it will be difficult to turn back!"
After hearing this, Lu Chen said excitedly: "Master, where should I go to find the perfect method to cultivate the extracorporeal universe?"
The Saint raised his hand and waved. Two illusory figures appeared in front of the two of them. The figures were just a faint back view, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
Lu Chen didn't know these two people. He was very curious: "Who are these two...?"
"This is the Demon Emperor of the Demon Clan," the Saint Ancestor pointed to the figure on the left.
"Demon Emperor!?" Lu Chen exclaimed in shock. This is the greatest enemy of the human race - the Demon Emperor, the supreme ruler of the demon race!
The Saint Ancestor nodded and said, "In my early years, I fought against the Demon Emperor. Although I won in the end, it was only because of the Ruler of Samsara that I was able to defeat him by one move."
"He has cultivated the universe to the highest level. He can fight against me who holds the Ruler of Samsara with his own strength."
"But I know you have a blood feud with the demons, so I guess you are unwilling to learn his skills."
Lu Chen did not speak, tacitly agreeing with the words of the Saint Ancestor. He would never learn the magic skills.
The Saint Ancestor continued to point at the second person and said: "So your other choice is this person, the ancestor of our clan - the Supreme King"
"Supreme King!?!"
Lu Chen and Qin Yu said at the same time...
