Myriad Paths

Yang Ning actually doesn't have a good relationship with Shen Shuibi.

Although strictly speaking, they are biological sisters, conceived by the true lead ding of the sun and the moon and the empress Luofu.

Empress Luofu is best at the transformation of yin and yang.

The True Lead Cauldron of Sun and Moon even absorbs the sun and moon. Eight million worlds of sun and moon rise and fall from his body. He has mastered the path of the sun and moon.

The two of them used their own avenues to intersect, and the essence of the sun and moon that they gave birth to was Shen Shuibi and Yang Ning.

Empress Luofu's surname was Shen, while Riyuezhen Lead Ding gave herself the surname Yang.

However, because they inherited different parts of their avenues, their personalities are also different.

Shen Shuibi is reserved and weak, while Yang Ning is assertive and strong. This contradiction in personality makes Yang Ning always dislike Shen Shuibi's way of living like a plant.

It's really like a tree, stuck in place and swaying in the wind.

But now, something seems different.

Shen Shuibi seems not as soft as before?

That's why Yang Ning asked: "Have you figured it out?"

Shen Shuibi shook her head: "I have always known what to do, but now it's our turn."

"You just know what you're doing, so what? Now that you're back, what are your plans?" Yang Ning put her hand on Shen Shuibi's shoulder and pushed it gently.

With this push, a crack opened up in the cave. The two of them left the cave together and appeared in the spiritual peak outside.

On top of Lingfeng Peak, there is great scenery, beautiful mountains and clear waters, and bright vitality.

Here, Yang Ning found a stone and sat down, looking at the mountain scenery not far away.

Shen Shuibi also sat down next to her and asked proactively: "Have you recovered to the fifth level?"

Yang Ning replied: "My injury is not as serious as yours. Once all the sun essence is refined by me, it should be able to stabilize at the fifth level. In addition to me, Mei Nu is also there... As for the others No one should be able to escape."

"Grandma Mei...it's great that she's still alive." Shen Shuibi sighed.

Luofu Mountain is surrounded by thirty-two heavens, and the first heaven is the fourth-level world.

The world masters of these worlds are the fourth rank, and Mei Nu is one of them.

In other words, there is still a fourth-grade person alive in Luofu Mountain.

Whether it’s out of emotion or the current situation, this is a really good sentence and comes from the heart.

Then, she continued: "If Granny Mei is still alive, can she repay some of Wushenshan's karma in advance? I still remember many of the methods I developed myself in my mind, which should be able to make up for Wushenshan's understanding of some details of Taoism. , maybe it can make the queen bear less burden."

Shen Shuibi discussed these things.

Yang Ning was surprised: "It seems like you have really figured it out, so what do you think?"

Shen Shuibi nodded and began to explain her thinking: "I have to tell you what I learned on the road first."

"First of all, I think we should...wait, let me think about it, I forgot a little." Shen Shuibi's words were on his lips, but he was a little stuck.

It's that feeling of forgetting to write when you pick up your pen, and suddenly losing your memory when the words come to your mouth.

Yang Ning's expression immediately turned into suspicion.

She frowned and said in a doubtful tone: "...There's something wrong with you."

Shen Shuibi tilted her head: "Isn't this normal? I've already said -"

She was only halfway through.

But Yang Ning interrupted her directly: "Your thinking has been affected by the long river of time. Falling to the eighth level has had such a big impact on you?"

"Influence? I don't know what impact it has." Shen Shuibi shook his head.

"You and I were both born immortal, but you are not now. You are even more impatient than me now." Yang Ning said, "Are you influenced by the mind of a mortal?"

"The mind of a mortal...?" Shen Shuibi was puzzled.

"Can you understand this now?" Yang Ning waved her hand and saw countless symbols pouring out.

These symbols are the yin and yang lines that Shen Shuibi is very familiar with.

This kind of yin and yang lines can be arranged in different orders according to different combinations of yin and yang to form different hexagrams, and ultimately express different meanings.

It is a very efficient way of communication, and Taoist communication skills often use this method.

Shen Shuibi is naturally very good at these things, so much so that she can form formations and mobilize the power of nature just by relying on the Yin and Yang Yao.

However, suddenly, she found that she seemed to be having a hard time watching.

"Have you noticed it? Are you at the eighth level now?" Yang Ning asked.

"It's...it's the eighth grade. My soul is degrading." Shen Shuibi frowned and said with a slightly sad expression.

Yes, she realized the problem.

I just said it before.

As the essence of Taiyin bred from the True Lead Cauldron of Sun and Moon, she was born immortal.

The passage of time means nothing to her.

As soon as she was born, she was naturally able to resist external influences.

Diseases and pains will not arise, all evils will not enter, and all laws will not invade.

After the body is refined into a pure body, the erosion of the long river of time from the outside world can be regarded as almost nothing. The regeneration of the body alone can easily resist aging.

But now, things are different.

The Immortal Body is broken, and even if it is barely repaired, it is no more than a leaky house.

The soul is exposed in heaven and earth, and is subject to all the devastation suffered by mortals.

"Am I... aging?" Shen Shuibi raised her hand and touched her face.

There was nothing special about his face, it was still as soft as ever, but you could feel that something was wrong.

There are some traces of wind and frost on the skin.

Yes, it's time for a wind and frost. After all, I have been trekking outside with Li Qi for nearly two years.

In two years, Li Qidu has grown to the eighth level.

In the past, Shen Shuibi had been in a daze for more than two years. Her concept of time had been completely covered by her own immortal nature.

That's why she feels that her life in the past two years has been extremely fulfilling and she has done a lot of things.

The reason is simple.

The time concepts of immortals and short-lived species are not the same at all.

Even though Shen Shuibi thought she was still an immortal, she had actually changed.

She could no longer do that and let two years pass by in a daze.

It is also difficult to continue to look at the world from the perspective of an immortal.

Even her body was like this.

Changes in life span will naturally affect the mind.

The earthworm that lives and dies is destined to be unable to share the same perspective and think with the same train of thought as the eternal immortal.

In other words, Shen Shuibi became lively, talkative, and able to communicate with other people when she stayed with Li Qi, not because she was amiable.

Rather, it is because she is gradually becoming a mortal.

Yang Ning stood up and patted Shen Shuibi's shoulder with a worried expression: "You have a good intention to do your best, but now is not the time. You have to retrain. You can't participate in those things now. Leave it to me and Mei Nu." ”

However, Yang Ning suddenly asked: "Now that you have returned to the seventh level, with your injuries, can you regain immortality?"

This question is very subtle.

Normally speaking, those who reach the seventh level can achieve immortality and can survive forever. As long as they are not destroyed by external forces, their small world can no longer be slowly destroyed by the long river of time, or the 'sea of ​​suffering'.

But after Shen Shuibi recovers to the seventh level, can she return to immortality?

Originally Shen Shuibi thought it was okay.

But now after being awakened by Yang Ning, she thought about it carefully.

I'm afraid...doubtful.

I have said it several times, the body is like a ship, and the true spirit dwells in it.

The ship sails on a path of imperceptible presence.

Some people call it space-time, which is an independent four-dimensional time in a three-dimensional space. It is the source of all movement. Movement causes "chaos" and ultimately pushes everything into destruction.

Taoism calls it the long river of time, and the water of time keeps beating, making everything tend to be chaotic.

Buddhism calls it the sea of ​​suffering. All things sink in the sea of ​​suffering and cannot be liberated. Only by becoming a Buddha can we be transcended.

Witchcraft and Taoism simply regard it as the natural wear and tear of all things in the world, and believe that it is part of the cycle of heaven. Sooner or later, the worn parts will join other new lives, which is the balance of all things.

The seventh grade can last forever because there are solutions in the cognition and theory of each orthodoxy.

Then, based on their respective orthodox theories, different methods were developed. Some of these methods can suppress the damage of the ship, or speed up its replacement. There are also different methods to allow the ship to continue to operate without experiencing major wind and waves. Last forever.

It's not because you can become immortal when you reach the seventh level.

But when you reach the seventh level, you are qualified to learn and use this method to infinitely improve your life.

The problem lies here.

Shen Shuibi has recovered to the seventh level, can she make herself immortal again? Can she restore her unsullied body?

Disaster.

Even if she reaches the seventh level, it is estimated that her injuries will continue to reduce her lifespan, and even those life-extending methods cannot close the gap.

The gap in Sinking Water Bi's ship is so big that it would be difficult for ordinary methods to close it.

She was once a fifth-level person, and she immediately realized this after Yang Ning's reminder.

Her expression became serious.

At this time, Yang Ning said to Shen Shuibi again: "We still need Wu Shenshan's help, otherwise, I'm afraid your aging will be unstoppable. It's best to calculate your remaining lifespan, but I guess it should not exceed five hundred." Year."

Five hundred years may sound like a lot, but for them, it's a matter of life and death.

Hearing this, Shen Shuibi grabbed Yang Ning anxiously: "No, we can't go to Wushen Mountain, we can find a way ourselves!"

"The karma that the empress has been carrying is too heavy. If we continue to ask Wushen Mountain for things, I'm afraid there will really be no Luofu Mountain in the future, only the Luofu branch of Wushen Mountain." Shen Shuibi said anxiously.

"Then what can we do? They say they still have five hundred years to live, but you know how difficult it is to reverse aging?" Yang Ning glared at her and scolded.

Aging is difficult to reverse.

Why do many practitioners look old?

Because when they reach immortality through cultivation, they have already aged beyond recognition. Some of them are too lazy to change their appearance, so they walk as if they are old. If they care about face, they reshape their bodies and look younger.

Yes, they can reshape their bodies.

What about the true spirit?

The physical body is just a boat. The boat is gradually damaged, and the passengers inside are injured, that is, where the consciousness and thinking are, that is commonly known as the 'little bit of true spirit'.

The physical body can be reshaped, but the aging of the true spirit will truly affect the speed of thinking.

For example, Shen Shuibi.

She has only been aging for two years, but it is already difficult for her to decipher the yin and yang lines, and she even forgets to write when she writes.

This is a very scary thing for people like her who are born immortal. Their true spirits should be in the most perfect state.

But now this perfect state is broken.

The aging of the true spirit caused by the damage of the physical body and exposure and erosion in the long river of time is normally irreversible.

Although recovery can be achieved through some means, those means are extremely difficult without exception.

Either it requires a powerful move, or it requires natural resources, and it's not easy anyway.

Yang Ning knew that Shen Shuibi meant to give up treatment.

That's why she was so angry.

However, Shen Shuibi replied: "It doesn't matter how many years it takes, we can find a way."

Yang Ning immediately became angry and scolded unceremoniously: "How many years? My queen has been sleeping for at least a hundred years. What are you going to do then? What can you do in a hundred years? In these hundred years, I can even practice the Great Sun I can’t help you!”

Shen Shuibi seemed to be a little angry. She used to be soft and weak, but she said harshly to Yang Ning: "Then what do you want me to do?"

"Asking for help from Wushen Mountain now will only make the empress bear more karma. How can you repay the empress?"

"What's left in Luofu Mountain to repay these karma? Do you want to use the Cave Master's opportunity to repay it?"

Shen Shuibi was not as emotional as Yang Ning. She was more like a soft nail. She didn't have a particularly angry tone, she just answered the question calmly.

But this sentence choked Yang Ning, and Jin Wu was speechless.

What to pay for?

The great opportunity to use the Sun and Moon True Lead Cauldron?

Can she say this?

The two fell into silence.

The wind blew around the two of them, blowing their hair and clothes, and there was a bright sunshine.

But nothing could dispel the haze in my heart.

After several minutes, it was Shen Shuibi who sighed and said first, "It's better to do more things now, when my true spirit is only partially slowed down."

"I will start refining elixirs recently, and then I will compile the practice documents and Dao sect's avenues that I have not written down in the past and have memorized in my heart. These things should allow us to live here without being criticized. "

In fact, there is no criticism at all. Wushenshan is eager for the opportunity of the great road, but it is not that stingy in a place like this, and is not prepared to accept their money.

But living under someone else's roof has its own feelings. Even if the host doesn't say anything, Luofu Mountain still has its own shame.

Now, Shen Shuibi is ready to use her previous savings to pay the rent.

Yang Ning used to only like to fight and kill, but did not understand research.

Only Shen Shuibi had studied these things all day long, but at that time it was out of hobbies. A lot of the research was done by himself and kept in his mind, and he was not prepared to tell others.

But now, she is ready to sell all her previous hard-earned hobbies for money.

What should be said should not be said, but Krypton Life has rushed out a chapter and has not stopped updating. It is too responsible and leads to the failure to apply for leave.
