Chapter 515
Chapter 515
"Actually, I have a lot of time, I can do whatever I want."
Qiao Mu practiced the Changsheng Fist alone in the desert city, over and over again, back and forth.
The sun rises and sets, night falls, and morning light appears again.
At this time, the dream of longevity has become closer to the real world. There are twelve hours like the real world, and the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.
In the desert city, Taoyuan Villa, and the Wu Jihui building in Zhongzhou.
Qiao Mu read the classics in the many arsenals in this memory for a long time.
Fist, palm, finger, leg, light skill, eighteen kinds of weapons, horizontal training hard skills...
In these arsenals, there are treasures of Jiuzhou martial arts for thousands of years, and there is no lack of superior martial arts.
But Qiao Mu was more anxious before, and his eyes were always on peerless magic skills such as "Pure Yang Wuji Gong" and "Rulai Shen Zhang".
Every time he had a long dream of immortality, he often died at the hands of a stronger enemy. To defeat a strong enemy, he must practice the best martial arts and practice the best martial arts to perfection.
Although there are many martial arts in the arsenal, it is impossible for him to practice and read them one by one. Most of them are just a cursory glance, as an accumulation of martial arts knowledge.
But this time is different, Qiao Mu is not in a hurry at all.
First, this time the dream of immortality lasts for 50,000 years. Second, there are no strong enemies blocking his way in front of him, so there is no need to practice any magic skills.
Therefore, he read through the vast martial arts secrets in the arsenal from beginning to end.
"I remember that the fourth of the 72 sages in the Wu Ji Association, Wu Shushan, once vowed to complete what the Martial Saint had not done, and read through the Wu Ji Association's arsenal."
"If you don't read through the arsenal, you won't leave Shushan."
"Now, I have also completed the goal that he could not achieve in his lifetime."
Two thousand years later, Qiao Mu closed the last martial arts secret book in the Wu Ji Association's arsenal and looked back.
But he saw Wu Shushan holding a copy of "Chrysanthemum Point-Acupuncture Hand" on the long table in front of the arsenal and flipping through it eagerly, with a half-person-high messy pile of books beside him.
"When I eat a big meal, I always start with my favorite dish." Wu Shushan said confidently.
Qiao Mu glanced at him, and Wu Shushan remained in his original posture.
"People and things in memory can be perfectly reproduced in dreams, but they are just fake after all, just like playing rock-paper-scissors with yourself, and you know the result before you throw a punch."
The image of Wu Shushan disappeared in the dream, and there was only an endless mountain of books in all directions.
So far, two thousand years have passed.
Qiao Mu spent two thousand years reading every martial arts secret book in the arsenal.
Whether it was a high-class magic skill like the Vajra Indestructible Magic Skill or a low-class martial arts like the Iron Crotch Skill, he accepted all of them and practiced them all.
His martial arts knowledge was extremely profound, and even when reading low-class martial arts like the Iron Crotch Skill, he could occasionally draw inferences and bring him new ideas.
Two thousand years have passed, and Qiao Mu's martial arts cultivation has not made great progress, but his martial arts foundation has become much more solid than before.
The Human Dao Sutra was originally named the Xumi Mountain King Sutra. It is a method of accumulating qi and blood by accumulating soil into a mountain. As long as the time is long enough, Qiao Mu can eventually deduce this martial arts step by step to a higher level.
As for the top internal energy like Chunyang Wuji Gong, as long as the body can still bear it and the Dantian can still accommodate it, it can also continuously accumulate internal energy and true energy.
Two thousand years of practicing means two thousand years of increasing power and two thousand years of rising blood and qi.
"It took two thousand years to read through the Kyushu Arsenal. No one in the world can accomplish such a great feat. It's really a long way to go."
"Let me calculate how long this dream of immortality has lasted. Two thousand years, fifty thousand years..."
"Very good, 4% of the dream of immortality has passed. There is only 96% left for me to be resurrected with full blood!"
Qiao Mu looked around, and the boundless mountain of books collapsed, and the surroundings turned into a grassland.
He sighed slightly.
"I have seen people stronger than me in this life."
"So after spending the remaining 96%, it will be all good days."
He tried to motivate himself, but this self-deceiving method did not work.
Because Qiao Mu had already deceived himself once when he destroyed the Da Dao Sect and died at the hands of Lingyuan Patriarch.
At that time, he said to himself in his dream that as long as he killed Lingyuan Patriarch in front of him, the road ahead would be smooth and the end would be in sight.
But what happened later?
Later, in this Guixu, he saw the corpse of the Emperor of Heaven, saw the essence of his immortality, and the end that he could never reach.
It was enough to deceive oneself once, and then...
"Next, I have to try to save myself."
It took two thousand years to practice martial arts, and there are still 48,000 years left.
Obviously, whether it is pretending that nothing happened or deceiving oneself, it is useless.
Looking back.
From more than 5,000 years old to 12,000 years old, he relied on the Kuafu tribe's daily practice method to survive the dream of immortality.
From 12,000 years old to more than 18,000 years old, he relied on self-deception to convince himself that the end was in sight.
After careful consideration, the breakthrough still has to fall on the Kuafu practice method.
First, he should follow the example of the past and plant a new sun in his heart, a new pursuit that can support him to complete the goal of the 50,000-year journey.
Qiao Mu is now literally unable to die, and he is destined to be immortal.
From the immortal lock to the corpse of the Emperor of Heaven in the ruins of the Heavenly Palace, he did have a huge doubt in his heart.
The second one...
..............
"From more than 5,000 years old to more than 10,000 years old, it was the cultivation method of the ancient gods and demons, the Kuafu tribe."
"Legend has it that the ancient gods and demons were born at the beginning of chaos, and they are the immortal species with extremely long lifespans."
"But in my hands, in addition to the gods and demons, there is actually another kind of cultivation method for extremely long-lived creatures."
As Qiao Mu's mind moved, a vast mountain of books appeared beside him again.
At a glance, the classics inside include "Beans Breaking the Sky" and "Beast Blood Boiling"....
If you look more closely, you can see books such as "Da Dao Jing" and "Qingxuan Dao Jing".
These are... immortal classics.
Qiao Mu has destroyed more than one immortal sect in the world, including Xuantian Sect, Xuelian Sect, Dadao Sect, Qingxuan Dao...
Destroying one immortal sect may not necessarily obtain the Taoist scriptures handed down from the immortal sect, but since four immortal sects were destroyed in Qiao Mu's hands, he can naturally piece together a set of cultivation techniques from the shallow to the deep.
Of course, Qiao Mu now has no desire to practice martial arts, let alone switch to immortal cultivation.
It doesn't make much sense to switch to immortal cultivation at this time. What he wants to do is not to switch to immortal cultivation, but to learn from their skills as he has done many times before.
Standing on the shoulders of predecessors, he can find ideas from their experience and classics.
It's like the god and demon cultivation method of the Kuafu people, but Qiao Mu, a mortal, cannot practice it directly. He just refers to it and regards it as a trick to cultivate the spirit, relying on it to maintain his sanity in the dream of longevity for thousands of years.
And this time, Qiao Mu's object of learning is no longer the ancient god and demon clan, but... immortal cultivators.
He didn't want to accept it all, but just tried to refer to the immortal monks to find a way to get rid of it that suits him.
He was also an old monster who lived for more than ten thousand years.
Qiao Mu, who practiced martial arts, never had an easy dream of longevity, and he often fell into internal friction and madness.
But there are many immortal monks who have been in seclusion for decades or even hundreds of years.
A Mahayana ancestor like Lingxu Patriarch even sealed himself in a small world for ten thousand years, and did not come out again until the opportunity to become an immortal appeared.
Of course, even if the small world is not big, it is a real world. If the ancestor who controls the small world is willing, it is no problem to accommodate thousands of creatures. It is not the same as Qiao Mu's dream world after all.
Ru Nianchaosheng raised a bunch of low-powered half-demon storytellers in the small world of Fangcun Mountain, who boasted, drank and discussed current affairs in Tingchao Tower all day long, and lived a happy life.
Qiao Mu stretched out his hand and took the "Da Dao Jing" in his hand.
The "Da Dao Jing" is naturally the root practice of the Da Dao Sect. The masters of all generations and the ancestors in the small world have practiced this practice.
This practice is said to be passed down by the first generation of ancestors who have become true immortals. If you practice it step by step, you can directly practice from the Qi Refining Stage to the True Immortal... Of course, Qiao Mu does not have the second half in his hands.
He does not care about the practice of breathing in and out of the spiritual energy in the "Da Dao Jing". The key point is that all these practices mention...
Break the obsession and abandon the desire.
......................................
The immortal cultivators can achieve longevity and have a long but finite lifespan.
The cultivators in the Hua Shen Stage can live for thousands of years, the lifespan of the He Dao Stage can exceed ten thousand years, and the Mahayana Stage cultivators can live in the world for tens of thousands of years.
The immortal way is the great way that has been passed down from ancient times to the present. There are countless long-lived cultivators born since ancient times.
The problems Qiao Mu encountered have naturally been encountered by immortal cultivators from ancient times to the present.

The key to their solution to this problem and to survive for thousands of years without the collapse of the Tao heart is actually the four words "breaking obsession and abandoning desire" that the immortal monks have repeatedly mentioned.
Break obsession and abandon desire, and the Tao heart will be formed.
Based on breaking obsession and abandoning desire, different immortals have different methods, such as beheading the three corpses, eliminating the six thieves, etc.
The toys that you like very much when you are a child will be put aside when you grow up.
The white moonlight that made your heart beat when you were young often no longer makes you feel excited when you see it again in middle age.
With the enrichment of life experience and the increase of age, the things that you used to regard as treasures will eventually become less and less important to you when you are older.
In the eyes of immortal monks, worldly desires are like toys that you like when you are a few years old, and they can understand what these are.
When you are dozens, hundreds, or thousands of years old, you will naturally not be moved or worried about it.
Cut off all worldly desires, leaving only a pious heart of immortality, and naturally the heart of Taoism is clear, which can withstand the long years.
Therefore, from the perspective of immortal cultivators.
Human warriors such as the Qiao family, the martial saint, and Yan Taizu are all wild cultivators who put shackles on themselves without knowing it.
At the gate of the Da Dao Sect, Qiao Mu had a debate with the Lingyuan Patriarch about the immortals.
The Lingyuan Patriarch said that cultivating immortals is like climbing a mountain. The higher you climb, the farther you are from the human world, and naturally the closer you are to heaven.
Far from the human heart, but close to the heart of Taoism.
Far from the human way, but close to the way of heaven.
If the sky has emotions, it will also grow old, but if it is ruthless and has no human heart, it can withstand the long years.
This is the answer given by the immortal cultivators who have been passed down from ancient times to the present.
"Are you breaking attachments and giving up desires? This method of cultivating the Taoist mind is not a method of cultivating the immortal way. It is indeed something that can be used as a reference."
Qiao Mu held a Taoist scripture in his hand and muttered to himself among the messy piles of books that were as tall as one person.
The powerful spells of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect are useless to him. All he wants to practice is the method of cultivating the Taoist Heart in the Immortal Sect's Dao Sutra.
"It's just that the truth is this, how should we learn and refer to it?"
Qiao Mu was thinking.
Time passes quietly, day after day, year after year.
He is not a peerless genius with astonishing understanding. It is naturally extremely difficult for him to take this untrodden path.
He doesn't know how many years have passed, but he still hasn't found a clear idea.
But when he came back to his senses, he found that his body had started to move at some point, and he started to fight the longevity fist against the first ray of morning glow that appeared on the horizon.
Practicing martial arts has long been his instinct, and his body did not stop even when he was meditating.
It's like, it's like...
"Huh?" Qiao Mu suddenly had a thought in his mind and recalled what happened a long, long time ago.
Before he refined the second level of God, his own God was not strong enough to notice the existence of the dream of immortality. All martial arts were practiced little by little in the dream for a long time...
He thought that the Immortality Lock was really just a life-consuming resurrection point-adding system. At the expense of lifespan, he could gradually master and perfect various martial arts.
Before that, the dream of immortality had always existed. After every death, he practiced boxing over and over again in his dream, but he didn't realize it.
Just like just now....
"Practice martial arts has already become my body's instinct. Even if I don't think about it, my body will naturally start practicing various martial arts."
"The heart of the Tao can withstand the long years, but the human heart will inevitably grow old easily."
"Sealing the human heart is like shelving the toys of childhood into a locked drawer; leaving the 50,000-year dream of immortality to the instinct of the body is like before the second level of refining the gods... "
As long as he has a general idea, Qiao Mu can use his extremely profound martial arts knowledge to try to turn the idea into a practical technique.
"The immortal monks talk about breaking attachments and giving up desires, and what I want to do is not to break away or give up, but to seal it in the dream of immortality.
"Only the strongest obsession in the heart is left, just like the immortal monks only have the heart to seek immortality."
"In the dream of immortality, just leave everything to the instinct of the body."
"Theoretically speaking, this should be feasible... If it can really be practiced, then it will be called the "Invisible No Thought Kung Fu"."
Qiao Mu's mind sank into the lock of immortality, and he realized that he had spent five thousand years in the dream of immortality.
Five thousand years is extremely long, equivalent to 10% of the 50,000-year-long dream, leaving only 90%!
"As the saying goes, after traveling a hundred miles, half of the journey is ninety. Now I have traveled ten miles and the remaining ninety miles are equivalent to halfway."
After five thousand years, Qiao Mu finally came up with a seemingly feasible solution that could help him survive fifty thousand years without losing his sanity and not going crazy.
It’s just that this so-called “Invisible Thought Skill” actually has some hidden dangers.
If only the martial arts training instinct of the body is left, then he will be just a pure martial artist, which can be called the embodiment of martial arts.
At most, one or two obsessions are left to guide oneself, sealing one's heart and entering a state like sleepwalking.
So...how does he wake up?
A drawer that is sealed inside and out will naturally prevent the things sealed inside from getting dusty easily.
So, fifty thousand years later, does he still remember where the key is?
What is the essential difference between "sealing" and "breaking attachments and abandoning desires" of immortal monks?
The so-called "human heart", "lust", "obsession", etc. are, after all, just abstract concepts, not concrete things. It's not like just imagining a locked drawer in your mind.
Qiao Mu is also not sure whether the so-called "impossible thoughtless skill" he is doing can be achieved.
Maybe he wakes up from the dream of immortality fifty thousand years later and becomes a martial arts immortal practicing martial arts; maybe he will always be immersed in this state of "impossible to do martial arts".
"The matter has come to this, there is no other way. Whether it is success or failure, we will tell after practice."
.............................
In the ruins of Heaven, Di Ting's silly laughter is still echoing.
The Patriarch of the Sword Sect stood blankly a dozen steps away from the Heavenly Emperor's throne, staring straight at him and calculating in his hands.
Reason told him that the original immortal energy of the Emperor of Heaven was indeed not something he could obtain.
But at this point, who is still rational?
He stood there without moving, thinking of various ways to gain a chance of becoming an immortal.
And suddenly.
laugh!
A fierce howling sound suddenly sounded.
The dense white mist in the Lingxiao Palace was suddenly blown away by the strong wind, like waves broken by rocks.
A figure rushed over quickly, and the violent wind following his figure blew away the rubble and other debris in front of the temple, and rushed straight towards the Sword Sect's Patriarch.
"Why are there still masters? There are so many insidious old thieves lurking in secret, coveting the opportunity to become immortals..."
The Patriarch of the Sword Sect snorted coldly, and with a flick of his consciousness, the sword pills immediately turned into a rain of swords pouring down from the sky, enveloping him.
The Taoist robe on his body swelled more, emitting a faint golden aura, protecting his whole body.
The man's ferocity remained unchanged at all, as if he didn't see the rain of swords pouring from the sky, and he hit him head-on.
With a loud bang.
The overwhelming sword rain covering the Lingxiao Palace exploded in the blink of an eye.
The founder of the Sword Sect staggered two steps.
He looked down and saw a clear fist mark on the chest of his Taoist robe. In the broken golden light, the robes, flesh and bones were pierced together, and the throne of the Emperor of Heaven in the distance could be seen behind him.
"You..." The founder of the Sword Sect stared at the visitor with wide eyes, but saw that the visitor was clearly another member of the Qiao family with a similar appearance.
"What kind of monsters are the Qiao family? Haven't they all died yet?" He stared with wide eyes.
However, Qiao Mu ignored him, but just looked up at Nian Chaosheng next to the throne of the Emperor of Heaven.
It didn't matter why the founder of the Sword Sect appeared here, and it didn't matter that Di Ting appeared in the Heavenly Palace in the form of Nian Chaosheng.
He cared about two other things.
"Ting Di, I have two questions for you." Qiao Mu asked:
"How to return to Jiuzhou?"
Ting Di grinned unconsciously when he heard this, and laughed:
"Those immortal sect ancestors only want to ascend to the immortal world, and you have seen my true body and only want to ask the way back?"
Qiao Mu was silent for a while, and then said:
"Their immortal way is in the immortal world; but my martial arts way is in the human world."
