Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 88: Time

Three days passed in the blink of an eye. Watermark advertising test Watermark advertising test (Pingnan Literature Network)

Due to the confusing relationship between heaven and earth and yin and yang in the secret realm, even Tang Jie could not get out of this maritime jungle quickly.

The place is full of ferocious monsters, man-eating trees, and weird formations, making it difficult for cultivators to move here.

But the most troublesome thing is the mysterious atmosphere in the secret realm.

Tang Jie could feel that there was a majestic power emanating from the core of the fairy mountain on the sea. It was this power that made the space weird and the monster's strength increased. Since it had nothing to do with the formation, it also made it impossible for Tang Jie to break through quickly. Not only that, he couldn't even summon his true form, nor could he use telepathic communication with Yiyi.

Fortunately, at least before entering, he had already spoken to Yiyi with his heart and knew that they were coming. By now, he should have entered the secret realm.

So for three days in a row, Tang Jie walked slowly in the jungle. With the guidance of the rabbit demon Tutu, although he was slow, he finally did not lose his way and kept approaching the fairy island.

As Tang Jie was walking today, he saw a pink three-petal lotus, the Three-Hearted Lotus, growing in the water not far ahead.

Three-hearted lotus is a spiritual plant that does not originally grow in the sea. But under the influence of this secret realm of the Siren, common sense has been subverted, rules have been overturned, and everything needs to be re-viewed.

This three-hearted lotus is a new spiritual plant and is not of high value.

Tang Jie looked at it, picked it up, and handed it to the rabbit demon: "Here you go."

Under the influence of the aura, all the spiritual plants in this secret realm only work on monsters. Monsters can increase their strength by eating them, but they are of no use to humans.

The rabbit demon ate it in two bites, shaking his head while eating: "It is rare to have spiritual plants in this maritime forest, and even if there is, there is no time to accumulate. Eating this three-hearted lotus will be the same as not eating it. In the end, you will be on that fairy island." Only spiritual plants are valuable."

Tang Jie smiled and said: "I don't have any strength, but I am very picky."

These words obviously violated the rabbit demon's dignity. It jumped on Tang Jie's shoulder and shouted: "Who said that? I am also a distracted demon after all. Even if I lose the strength I once had, I still have a lot of knowledge." , there are many things I can give you."

"Yes, yes." Tang Jie replied casually: "It's just that as a monster, you grow naturally and don't know how to practice, so you have nothing to teach me about practice; you are a monster in the Tianyin world, although I have been coming to Qixia Realm for many years, but I spent most of the time sleeping, so I don’t have much knowledge about this realm. Apart from betraying your old master and talking about the Beast Refining Sect, what value do you have? ”

The rabbit demon opened his mouth and was immediately speechless.

After spending the past few days together, Tang Jie has already understood the situation of this rabbit demon clearly. It can be said that apart from being cute and betrayal, this creature has no effect at all. It is just that it is still immersed in its former glory every day. , don’t want to admit the bleak reality.

It wasn't until Tang Jie revealed his true identity that the rabbit demon realized his situation and was speechless for a moment.

Seeing its sad look, Tang Jie couldn't bear it for a moment. Finally, he comforted him and said, "Well, anyway, you were once a distracting monster. I believe you are just temporarily weaker. Here This is a paradise for monsters and monsters. There are natural and earthly treasures everywhere that can improve your strength. If we find more for you, we will definitely be able to improve your strength."

The rabbit demon replied lazily: "Spiritual plants also have their own grades. Just because I eat ten thousand of this one-year three-hearted lotus, it doesn't mean that it can increase my cultivation by ten thousand years." ."

"Then I'll find some good ones for you." Tang Jie replied with a smile.

Suddenly realizing something, Tang Jie was stunned and said: "What did you just say? One-year period? You said that this three-hearted lotus is a one-year spiritual plant?"

"Yes." The rabbit demon replied: "What's wrong?"

Tang Jie's face has darkened: "But this Three-Hearted Lotus is obviously new."

The Secret Realm of Ten Thousand Beasts was just created three days ago. The fairy mountain on the sea is its true body, and the jungle on the sea is just the radiation area of ​​its power.

If there are spiritual plants in the fairy mountain that last for tens or hundreds of years, Tang Jie would not be surprised. After all, the main body of Ten Thousand Beasts Garden has existed for many years.

But this sea forest was only created three days ago, and all the spiritual plants were only born under the catalytic influence in these three days. Where does the one-year period come from?

Thinking of this, Tang Jie's tone became weird.

The rabbit demon didn’t realize anything yet, he just said: "My Lepus Clan has the clearest sense of this kind of thing. The power of this medicine is absolutely unmistakable. It is a one-year spiritual plant, which can at best improve me." Three days of cultivation is simply too bad!"

"Is that so..." Tang Jie looked around and suddenly remembered the giant shark in the sea that "evolved" into an ape.

Annual spiritual plants, rapidly evolving monsters, mysterious maritime jungles, and the chaotic time and space appeared in his mind one by one. Finally, Tang Jie suddenly realized and shouted: "So it's time and space. It’s a space-time treasure, it must be like this!”

What is suppressed in the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden must be some kind of treasure that can affect time. It is for this reason that the entire secret realm has developed so vigorously in such a short period of time. Because the time flow here is different from the outside world, chaotic and self-contained.

The rabbit demon was stunned at first when he heard this. Then he realized what he was saying and jumped on his feet and shouted: "Yes, yes, it must be time! Damn it, why didn't I think of this? What is being suppressed in the Ten Thousand Beasts Garden must be time and space. The divine treasure of mankind, no, no, the treasure of time and space only has Dao soldiers and no divine treasure. It is the supreme twelve avenues! You must get it!"

Speaking of this rabbit demon, he was so anxious that he almost fainted.

On the other hand, Tang Jie was unmoved: "What the hell. If it were that simple, the Beast Refining Sect wouldn't have to suppress it after all."

The rabbit demon was speechless.

Yes, if this thing is so easy to control, why should the Beast Refining Sect suppress it?

You must know that this is a powerful being from Sendai.

Tang Jie has already patted the rabbit demon and said: "As for the Tao soldiers, you and I don't have to think about it. But it's not a bad idea to take this opportunity to understand some of the ways of time..."

Now that he has understood that the aura in this secret realm is closely related to time, if he does not seize the opportunity to improve himself, he will be living up to a God-given opportunity.

So at this moment, I just did it, no longer moving forward, but directly found a giant tree in the sea to sit down, and began to experience the power of the breath between heaven and earth.

The rabbit demon didn't expect Tang Jie to be so straightforward, and stopped in his tracks, hopping anxiously: "Hey, hey, let's keep walking. There are many spiritual plants on the island!"

Tang Jie said calmly: "They are all for demons, and they are of no help to me. The Taoist soldiers cannot be obtained, and the spiritual fruits are useless. Instead of continuing to move forward, it is better to sit quietly and comprehend. Even if you can get a glimmer of enlightenment, you can The benefits will last a lifetime."

Different from the last time he understood cause and effect, at that time he acted on his feelings, so what he understood was actually what he thought in his heart. This time, what he was trying to capture was the Dao thought contained in the treasure's aura, which had nothing to do with himself.

For this reason, in essence, the last Tang Dynasty of the way of cause and effect is called enlightenment, and this time the Tang Dynasty of the way of time should be called plunder.

Plundering requires no effort, so the mental requirements are much more relaxed. If efficiency is not considered, you can even talk.

At this moment, the demon rabbit jumped up and down around Tang Jie angrily: "Oh, do you think this time avenue is so easy to understand? Master Rabbit, I have been practicing for thousands of years, and I have the talent to master the directionless positioning in the space avenue. It’s so distracting. But even so, I still can’t comprehend any of them on my own! It’s a waste of time for you to comprehend here!”

Tang Jie replied: "Young Master, I have been practicing for ten years without any extra talent. I just realized wisdom, space, and cause and effect once each in these ten years, and gained new insights."

"What?" The rabbit demon was so shocked that he almost fell off Tang Jie's shoulders: "This is impossible. It takes ten years to understand the three great ways. This is absolutely impossible! Lord Rabbit, I have never realized it in ten thousand years."

"This is not surprising." Tang Jie said calmly: "Some things are born with thresholds. For people who have not reached that threshold, things may be extremely difficult, just like a fool doing arithmetic, and he will not be able to do it even after ten thousand years. Results. But for those who reach the threshold, it may just be a matter of time."

"You say I'm a fool?" The rabbit demon's voice became shrill.

"Ten thousand years of time, nothing can be achieved together. At least on the way to enlightenment, you are a fool." Tang Jie answered unceremoniously.

"Are you a genius?" the rabbit demon shouted rudely.

"I may not be a genius, but I made the most correct choice." Tang Jie replied: "If sixty points is the basic threshold for understanding the great road, then I have already reached this score before that. I The first enlightenment is insight. Although it is a small way, it improves my ability to understand. This can be counted as five points. The subsequent enlightenment is wisdom. Insight is originally in wisdom. After enlightenment and wisdom, insight is also improved. , I’m close to taking control. Combining the two, I’ll add ten more points. After this calculation, my door to enlightenment is already at 75%. What’s so strange about realizing space and cause and effect later?”

The rabbit demon was speechless for a moment.

To understand the great road requires opportunity and one's own ability, both of which are indispensable.

The most terrifying thing about Tang Jie is that his ability allows him to seize opportunities, so as long as the opportunity comes, he will not miss it.

But honestly speaking, the chance of the aura of a treasure of time is not great.

Tang Jie's so-called sixty-point threshold is actually fifty-fifty, which should be due to chance, so it is reasonable.

So his ability score should actually be only twenty-five points, that is, ten points for himself, and fifteen points for gaining wisdom and insight.

As for the fifty points of chance, judging from the situation this time, Tang Jie only got ten points at best.

The overall score is only thirty-five points, which is still far from passing.

So if we calculate it based on probability, Tang Jie does not have a 35% chance of success, but a 100% chance of failure.

However, things in the world are unpredictable, and cultivation is not mathematics. The scores are only for reference, and the specific details still depend on the individual. There is still a huge difference between the absolute no in mathematical probability and the still chance in practical action.

For Tang Jie, regardless of success or failure, it is his habit to fight for every opportunity with all his strength. As for success or failure, it is not important.

If you don’t have the heart to strive for the best, no matter how many opportunities you have, you will give up.

At this moment, while he was talking, he closed his eyes and meditated, relaxed his mind, and flew freely in this secret realm to feel the power of time in this space.

Because he has not yet cultivated spiritual consciousness, Tang Jie cannot take the initiative to contact this aura. Although this aura is thick and filling the world, Tang Jie can feel its existence without catching it. However, Tang Jie could only feel the part he endured, but his consciousness could not reach far.

To escape from the mortal world and realize the Tao, it is with the help of the bridge of heaven and earth; to ask the mind to realize the Tao is to understand one's own heart; to use treasures to realize the Tao really requires the support of strength.

Plunder hard but not attentively!

Therefore, if you want to understand the Dao through treasures, you first need to have enough strength.

This is why Tang Jie's chances are only ten percent, as he is inherently deficient in strength.

But Tang Jie did not intend to give up.

As long as you work hard, you will have no regrets even if you fail!

The mind fell silent in the realization. He no longer heard the noise of the rabbit demon in his ears. Tang Jie was immersed in the perception and understanding of this breath.

My mind gradually became clearer, and everything around me seemed to be still.

Without spiritual consciousness, he could not see the outside world, but Tang Jie could at least see his own body.

What was different from the past was that when he really devoted himself to looking inside, he found that the scene in front of him had changed.

He saw his beating heart, flowing blood, and countless organs in his body working in their own way, but it all stretched into a long arc.

There are countless selves on the arc. They exist at the same time but are subtly different. They represent selves at different points in time, but are presented in the same way on the same line.

So Tang Jie saw countless selves extending infinitely like that.

There is no end, no end, and as time goes by, it continues to lengthen, but the self in the passing time does not disappear, it still exists.

As a result, the line becomes longer and longer. Looking forward can see the past, and looking back can see the future.

Tang Jie tried hard to look towards the line leading to the future, but only saw a deep darkness.

He knew that it was because he failed to enter the Tao, and he could not see his future. And prophecy is one of the strongest manifestations of the way of time.

Not only that, looking at the timeline itself, it is obvious that this is also the way of time that has nothing to do with prophecy. He doesn't know what it is, but he must try and possess it.

He tried to get closer to the countless phantoms of himself, but he couldn't reach them.

It is so close yet so far away.

No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't catch it!

In this world of false thoughts, only spiritual thoughts can get close to you, and spiritual consciousness is just the foundation!

He doesn't even have spiritual consciousness, so how can he talk about capturing the avenue?

"No..." Tang Jie growled.

It's a pity that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't catch that glimmer of opportunity after failing to cultivate spiritual consciousness. You must know that even if you cultivate spiritual consciousness, you may not be able to seize that opportunity.

To maintain this spiritual illusion, Tang Jie also needed to expend a lot of mental energy.

Seeing that the timeline was getting further and further away from him, and that he could not catch it after all, Tang Jie knew that he was probably going to fail this time.

He sighed, ready to fail.

At this moment, a majestic aura suddenly swept over.

The rabbit demon was horrified to find that all the plants around it suddenly grew wildly.

A large number of sea vines grew rapidly, springing out from under the sea and forming giant trees.

Countless fish turned into sea monsters and walked from the water to the trees, but no one dared to approach them.

Tang Jie's hair grew little by little at a speed visible to the naked eye, and soon it reached his waist.

"Time..." the rabbit demon exclaimed: "Time is accelerating and has a direct effect on humans. How is this possible?"

Only then did it see that in the sky above its head, the huge aura had condensed into substance, forming a group of swirling residual clouds, hovering above their heads, and the **** brilliance burst out with boundless power. The rabbit demon was so frightened that he sat down in the water.

It didn’t know that huge changes were also taking place in Tang Jie’s world at this moment.

The timeline that had gone away suddenly changed direction, returned quickly, rushed towards Tang Jie, kept getting closer, and actually rushed up on its own!

Finally, Tang Jie's consciousness fell on his own timeline and coincided with a point in it.

He saw that there was still a dark blur ahead, and behind him were countless past selves, leading all the way to the farthest past.

Yes, he is finally on the timeline!

Tang Jie was so excited that he wanted to shout wildly.

Without spiritual awareness, it is impossible to capture, but the way of time bumps into it on its own.

He didn't know why this happened, but he knew that the next step was the key to his understanding.

Standing on the timeline is just the beginning of understanding. Next, he needs to discover and decipher it himself.

And he doesn't have much time.

When he stood on the timeline of his own life, his time accelerated and his life began to pass quickly.

No matter whether he can understand the way of time or not, every second of his time is consumed at a speed of ten thousand times. The longer it takes to understand, the more life is consumed.

Those who understand the way of time achieve nothing, but grow old overnight, or even turn into ashes.

Enlightenment is not always safe, and great opportunities often come with great risks.

All of this was fully understood the moment Tang Jie stepped onto the timeline, but he did not look back.

He looked into the unknown darkness and took a step forward...

The true understanding has just begun at this moment.

——————————————

The boat passed through the dense forest and finally approached the fairyland on the sea.

"Oh! We're finally here!" Amid Yiyi's cheers, Xu Miaoran pulled Yiyi onto the island shore.

"Look!" Pointing into the distance, Yiyi said excitedly: "There are so many delicious things!"

Sure enough, in the distance, there are dozens of strange flowers and fruits growing.

In terms of the value of spiritual plants, this is quite a lot, and it seems that all of them are centuries-old spiritual plants.

She has already begun to count on her fingers: "There are golden fruits, jade lotus seeds, luminous grass... They are all delicious!"

The little girl was already waving her hands and rushed over.

"Hey, be careful!" Xu Miaoran didn't catch her, but Yiyi ran out and quickly chased after her.

As they traveled throughout the past three days, they also saw many ferocious monsters. Just the rebirth of the monsters caused them a lot of trouble. Now the monsters on the island are even more powerful. How could there be no big monster guarding such a place where strange fruits are concentrated?

Sure enough, the moment Yiyi rushed over, a huge demon wolf rushed out.

As soon as the demonic wolf rushed out, it aimed at Yiyi.

"Get out of the way!" Xu Miaoran shouted and pushed out a palm. Just as the palm wind hit the demon wolf, there was a loud bang and the demon wolf flew away.

It’s just that the demon wolf turned over, but it seemed as if nothing had happened.

Xu Miaoran's face changed slightly: "Yiyi, be careful, this demon wolf is not weak."

She is very aware of the power of her palm. To be able to receive this palm without incident, she must be at least in the middle level of enlightenment.

She is not afraid of a mid-level demon wolf.

But at the next moment, a dense mass of monsters emerged from the dense forest, at least hundreds of them, and each one seemed to be more intelligent.

Xu Miaoran was horrified to see it. She didn't expect that there were so many intelligent monsters on the island, so she pulled Yiyi back.

As soon as I took a few steps back, I heard an eagle cry in the sky.

Looking up, I saw a Iron-backed Goshawk spinning in the air and slowly falling.

After shaking his wings and folding them up, he transformed into a middle-aged man with a hawk-nosed nose, looking at Xu Miaoran and Yiyi indifferently.

Transform into a great demon!

Xu Miaoran was startled.

She pushed Yiyi: "Yiyi, run!"

Yiyi shouted: "No, Yiyi wants to go with her sister!"

Xu Miaoran was so anxious that she gritted her teeth and took out something from the mustard bag, thinking that I will fight with you.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the transformed demon looked at them, raised his head to the sky and hissed, then transformed back into the body of an eagle and flew away into the sky.

The group of monsters dispersed with a roar, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Yiyi and Xu Miaoran looked blankly, not knowing what was going on.

Yiyi was still brave, rolled her eyes and shouted: "No matter what, let's eat to our heart's content first."

As he said that, he rushed over, grabbed a spiritual fruit, picked it off, and ate it.

"Yiyi, be careful!" Xu Miaoran was afraid that those monsters would come back~IndoMTL.com~ and rushed over to protect her, but just looking left and right, none of the monsters appeared.

Unexpectedly, the above fruit fell in front of Xu Miaoran.

I heard Yiyi's sweet childlike voice: "Sister, take it."

Xu Miaoran replied: "These things are of no use to me."

Yiyi said: "Take away whatever you can't eat. Don't leave it to others."

Xu Miaoran rolled her eyes when she heard this: "Did Tang Jie teach you this evil mind?"

"Following my brother, do you still want to learn well?" Yiyi curled her lips and rushed to another spiritual plant. She used her little hands to pull out the mud and soil together.

While Xu Miaoran was still feeling suspicious and puzzled by the weirdness of it all, Yiyi had already wiped out all the spiritual plants in this area, and then pulled Xu Miaoran towards other areas.

Looking at the end of the little girl, she vowed to wipe out all the good things here.
