Chapter 241: The joys and sorrows of people are not the same

She clenched her fists, concentrating her energy on one point, as if she wanted to concentrate all her strength on this one punch. This was the unique skill of the Pijia School that Gongsun Ce taught Yu Lian.

Although her movements were slow, every step seemed to step on Tang's heart, making it impossible for him to ignore it.

Tang also began his preparations. He took a deep breath and madly absorbed the surrounding heaven and earth energy into his body.

When Yu Lian's fist finally struck out, Tang was already prepared.

He gathered all the energy of heaven and earth that he could gather and turned it into a flying kick. His left foot headed towards Yu Lian's fist.

At this moment, it seemed as if the whole world had stopped. Tang's flying kick and Yu Lian's fist met in the air, making a deafening sound.

The sound seemed to be able to shatter people's eardrums and make their hearts and minds break.

Looking at Tang's resolute face and Yu Lian's soft heart, Gongsun Ce sat under a tree and picked his ears. People's sorrows and joys were not connected, he just felt it was noisy.

Moreover, Yu Lian was holding back. She did not use her full strength, and she did not even exert a strength beyond the Dongxuan realm.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Tang to have only his left leg broken after being hit by this move.

When Yu Lian exerted her full strength in sparring with Tang, she would not use any other means.

At the moment of impact, Tang felt a huge force coming from Yu Lian's fist.

The force was as fierce as a storm, making it almost impossible for him to resist.

The Heaven and Earth Force that he had gathered at his feet was shattered by Yu Lian's fist and flew everywhere like fallen leaves swept by a strong wind.

Afterwards, Tang's left shoe was also shattered by Yu Lian's fist.

Yu Lian's fist continued to move forward and hit the sole of Tang's foot without any hindrance.

The blow was as powerful as thunder, causing Tang to lose balance instantly.

He felt a sharp pain coming from the soles of his feet, as if countless steel needles were piercing his bones.

The next moment, the trouser leg of Tang's left leg was shattered by Yu Lian's fist, and his left leg twisted uncontrollably.

He felt his leg bones being broken into several pieces by Yu Lian's fist, and the pain was almost unbearable for him.

However, he did not give up. He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and tried his best to maintain his balance.

Yu Lian looked at Tang's painful expression and twisted body, with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

She didn't expect that Tang could actually take her move.

Although Tang was seriously injured, he still did not fall down. She admired his tenacity and perseverance.

Yu Lian slowly retracted his fist and nodded to Tang.

Her voice was calm but full of recognition: "You did a great job. I recognize your strength."

After hearing what Yu Lian said, Tang showed a smile on his face.

Although his body was in so much pain that he could hardly move, his heart was filled with satisfaction and joy.

He knew that he had passed Yu Lian's test and gained her approval.

"Thank you."

Tang uttered two words with difficulty and fell to the ground. His body had reached its limit and needed a good rest and recovery.

Yu Lian looked at Tang lying on the ground and said nothing more. She just threw the ring representing the leader of the Demon Sect to Tang.

Tang carefully put the ring into his collar pocket.

"Please take me back to the academy, Mr. Gongsun." Yu Lian bowed to Gongsun Ce.

"Not looking for Li Manman anymore?" Gongsun Strategy replied to Yu Lian in a playful voice.

"Senior Brother is busy." Yu Lian's expression was a little unnatural. After years of contact, Yu Lian had some vague feelings towards Li Manman.

Gongsun Ce: (.)
However, Gongsun Ce did not continue teasing Yu Lian. Gongsun Ce stepped forward and put his hand on Yu Lian's shoulder. Gongsun Ce took a step forward and took Yu Lian back to the back mountain of the academy.

After returning to the back mountain of the academy, Gongsun Ce began to meditate. Gongsun Ce only saw and realized what Lianshengsanshier was thinking about.

Gongsun Ce didn't want to be contaminated by Lian Sheng Sanshier's aura, and Lian Sheng Sanshier no longer had any mental power in his body, so Gongsun Ce couldn't absorb any of his cultivation.

For Gongsun Ce, the Taoist realm of nirvana is more important, because one of the materials for recasting the Tianwen Sword can be filled with the cold air of the realm of nirvana.

The state of nirvana is very special. In this state, practitioners can feel a special chill. This chill originates from before the catastrophe and can erase all magical powers and return them to their most primitive state.

Therefore, the state of nirvana is regarded as the supreme state by many Taoist practitioners.

In other words, the state of nirvana is the prototype of eternal night.

First, the founder of Taoism, the gambler, broke through the sixth realm of nirvana, the seventh realm of enlightenment, and the eighth realm of purity.

Then a gambler awakened Haotian, and Haotian created the Eternal Night in order to devour the existences at the sixth level and above.

When the eternal night comes, Haotian will block the sun. Without the sun, a large number of people on earth will die.

After people die, everything they have will return to heaven and earth, which is equivalent to Haotian taking away everything they have.

However, those who have broken through the fifth realm are difficult to kill, such as the gambler and butcher who have lived for an unknown period of time.

Therefore, Gongsun Ce guessed that the cold air during the Eternal Night period was mixed with the cold air mastered by the Nirvana Realm, otherwise it would be difficult to explain the death of the great practitioner.

The place where Gongsun Ce retreated was in a cave in the back mountain of the academy.

The cave is surrounded by dense bamboo forests. The breeze blows gently, and the bamboo leaves rustle, as if playing a melodious melody for Gongsun Ce's retreat.

Gongsun Ce sat cross-legged on a cushion in the center of the cave, his eyes closed, breathing long and steady.

There was not a single distracting thought in his mind, and he was completely focused on comprehending the mysteries of the state of nirvana.

As time passed, subtle changes began to occur inside the cave, and a faint chill emanated from the depths of the stone chamber.

This cold air had no substance, yet it was pervasive. It silently permeated the cave, as if it was going to freeze the entire stone chamber into ice.

However, Gongsun Ce remained unmoved and continued to immerse himself in his insights.

A powerful force surged in his heart, which counteracted the coldness and enabled him to maintain a clear mind and keen perception.

The state of nirvana, as the name suggests, requires practitioners to experience the feeling of nirvana.

Falling into darkness, loneliness, and dead silence, one experiences the realm of life and death, and then comprehends nirvana.

As time went by, the cold became more and more intense, and the inside of the stone chamber became as cold as an ice cellar.

However, Gongsun Ce seemed not to feel the cold, and his face always maintained a calm expression.

During the process of perception, Gongsun Ce constantly adjusted his breathing and mentality.

He let his breathing echo with the cold air, forming a wonderful rhythm.

At the same time, he also adjusted his state of mind to a state of extreme tranquility, allowing himself to be completely immersed in this state.

Three months passed, and Gongsun Ce's understanding gradually deepened.

He began to feel the essence of the cold air - it was an invisible cold air that originated from before the catastrophe. It could erase all magical powers and return practitioners to their most primitive state.

Gongsun Ce understood that this was the true meaning of the state of nirvana.

Finally one day, Gongsun Ce's perception reached a peak.

He felt that the cold air had completely merged into his body and integrated with his mental power.

He could control this cold air at will and apply it to his own magical powers and Taoism.

At the same time, he could also feel that his state of mind had reached an unprecedented height, everything was quiet and everything was at his will.

When Gongsun Ce woke up from his seclusion, he found that he had completely mastered the essence of the state of nirvana.

He opened his eyes and found that the interior of the cave had returned to calm and the cold air had disappeared.

He stood up, stretched his body, and felt the invisible cold air emerging in his body. He knew that he had successfully broken through the sixth realm of Taoism - the realm of nirvana.

Gongsun Ce walked out of the stone chamber and looked at the dense bamboo forest and clear stream outside the cave, his heart filled with joy and pride.

As he comprehended the essence of the state of nirvana, Gongsun Ce's state of mind elevated again. Gongsun Ce had a feeling that he was about to break through to the state of unity between man and nature.

This feeling came suddenly but was difficult to suppress. Until this moment, Gongsun Ce felt what he had entered into the world of Ever Night.

Under the influence of Haotian, the world of Ever Night is actually similar to the time when the sky is round and the earth is square, so Rehai is the end of the world.

Gongsun Ce took a step forward to the hot sea, then walked on the waves all the way north. With the help of the magical power of unlimited distance, Gongsun Ce soon arrived at the end of the world.

Here the sea and the sky are one color, and the hot sea and the sky are blurred, which reminds Gongsun Ce of a movie - "The Truman Show".

At this moment, Gongsun Ce saw the shadow of the starry road that some dogs worshipped.

The Starry Sky Road is like the umbilical cord of the Qin World. It is the foundation for the Qin World to plunder the power of other worlds.

Gongsun Ce stretched out his right hand, crossed the world boundary and touched the starry sky road.

The Haotian Divine Kingdom is in the sky, but it surrounds the world, preventing the Ever Night world from being harmed by meteorites.

The reason why the world of Ever Night is attacked by meteorites is because there is no moon.

According to the original plot, the Master will transform into the moon to protect the Ever Night world from the invasion of meteorites.

The reason why Dog Chong Chong is so popular is because the Haotian Divine Kingdom covers the Ever Night World, which makes the Ever Night World seem non-existent to the outside world.

Therefore, the Starry Sky Road was lost. At this moment, Gongsun Ce used himself as a coordinate to lead the Starry Sky Road.

The moment the starry road touched Gongsun Ce's fingers, Gongsun Ce felt a hazy consciousness of the world.

It told Gongsun Ce that if the Jiang Ye world lost Haotian, it could easily devour the Jiang Ye world. As a reward, Gongsun Ce could easily obtain all the information about the state of unity between man and nature in the Qin world from ancient times to the present.

Including their measurements and magical powers, in short, the meaning of the Qin world is: you lead the way for me, kill Haotian, and I will give you benefits.

Gongsun Ce replied to Qin's World: Not enough. Qin's World: What do you want?
Gongsun Ce: As the agent of heaven, he enjoys absolute freedom.

Qin's World: No deal unless you let me devour a few worlds.

Gongsun Ce: This world is a deposit, let’s sign the contract first.

Qin's World: Deal.

As a result, Gongsun Ce successfully became the agent of heaven in the Qin world. For most worlds, this identity was equivalent to that of the Emperor of Heaven.

In the Ever Night world, that is Haotian Bentian. Although Gongsun Ce is suspected of getting something for nothing, the Qin Dynasty world knows that Gongsun Ce does have the aura of other worlds.

Gongsun Ce has the blood of the dragon clan, although his blood has changed after being baptized by the power of the Qin world.

However, as long as we use Gongsun Ce's breath as a guide, it is not difficult to find the dragon world in the vast universe.

Gongsun Ce actually also intended to find the dragon world. As Gongsun Ce became stronger and stronger, the dragon bloodline became a new problem.

The Black King still has an influence on Gongsun Ce's current bloodline, so Gongsun Ce has two options in front of him.

Option 1: Cut off the dragon bloodline in Gongsun Ce to avoid being influenced by the Black King.

Option 2: Find a way to completely eliminate the Black King’s influence on Gongsun Ce.

To satisfy option two, one must either continue to use the power of dragons from other worlds to cleanse the dragon bloodline in Gongsun Ce, or allow Gongsun Ce to replace the Black King.

Gongsun Ce felt that replacing the Black King was the best option. If Gongsun Ce could allow the Qin world to devour the Dragon world, then the strength of the Dragon bloodline would be linked to the strength of the Qin world.

Gongsun Ce is now the agent of heaven in the Qin world. The stronger the Qin world is, the stronger Gongsun Ce is, and the stronger the power of the dragon clan is.

This is the process of continuously stacking buffs, or double buffs.

However, for now, Gongsun Ce still has to find a way to kill Haotian in advance.

If you want Haotian to disappear, the easiest way is to follow the layout of the original work.

The first step is that the Master was discovered by Haotian.

In the second step, the Master transformed himself into the moon and went to the Haotian Divine Kingdom to block Haotian and prevent the Haotian Heavenly Goddess from returning to the Divine Kingdom.

The third step is to weaken the power of Haotian Tiannv.

The fourth step is to magnify the ambition of the temple master Chen and let him obtain the seven volumes of the heavenly book.

In the fifth step, the master of the temple used the seven volumes of the heavenly book to try to replace Haotian.

As long as these five steps are completed, Haotian will naturally be gone, but Gongsun Ce feels that the plan can actually be advanced.

After being improved by Gongsun Ce, the Taotie technique changed its focus from devouring the opponent's flesh and blood to gain the opponent's cultivation, to devouring the opponent's memory and perception.

In other words, as long as Gongsun Ce uses the Taotie technique on the temple master, he can obtain the method to use the seven volumes of the heavenly book.

The method of using the Seven Volumes of Heavenly Book to change Haotian is top secret in Taoism. Even though the Master has been a librarian in Taoism, he does not know the specific method of using the Seven Volumes of Heavenly Book.

"The sunset sand will open up tomorrow" is the real name of the seven volumes of the heavenly book. After the Master finished reading the seven volumes of the heavenly book, he saw his future as the moon from the "倒" volume of the heavenly book that predicted the future.

That's why the Master made subsequent arrangements. To put it bluntly, the Master's arrangements were based on the future he saw.

However, Gongsun Ce's arrival has changed the future that the Master saw, so if Gongsun Ce tells the Master about the power of the seven volumes of the Heavenly Book, the Master will definitely find a way to use the Heavenly Book to change Haotian.

However, Gongsun Ce has not yet comprehended the true meaning of the pure realm, and cannot kill Haotian directly for the time being.

Gongsun Ce only hoped that the master of the temple had already comprehended the rudiments of the pure state at this moment, so that he could pick a peach.

After figuring out his future plans, Gongsun Ce returned to the back mountain of the academy. He planned to talk to the teacher about Buddha.

Gongsun Ce’s next plan is to go to the Hanging Temple and say a few heartfelt words to the Buddha’s body.

As expected, the Master was tasting pastries at Chen Pipi's place at this time.

"My dear, come and sit down." The Master waved to Gongsun Ce, "Pipi has made some new pastries, let's try some together."

Gongsun Ce walked over and sat down opposite the Master. On the stone table in front of him was a plate of something that looked a bit like small square cakes.

There is basically no innovation in the making of the crust of the small square cake, but the filling can be improved.

Gongsun Ce picked up a piece and took a bite, and found that the filling was osmanthus sauce.

"Osmanthus sauce? Very interesting filling."

"It's really innovative." The Master picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Gongsun Ce. "Drinking and eating at the same time is a unique experience. By the way, I haven't congratulated you on breaking through the state of Nirvana yet."

"Thank you." Gongsun Ce took a sip of tea and then put down the teacup, "I still want to continue to obtain the infinite power of the Buddhist sect, so I want to go to the Hanging Temple.

I wonder what kind of existence Buddha is in Confucius' eyes? I am very curious. "

After hearing Gongsun Ce's message, the Master thought for a moment. Although the Buddha was the creator of the three unknowable places in the world, he was just a junior to the Master.

"It's almost the same as that one." The Master pointed to the sky, "The doctrine he preaches is beautiful, but in fact he is really arrogant and domineering with the support of millions of slaves."

There were more than one million slaves under the Hanging Temple. They ate the least food, did the hardest work, and supported the monks of the Hanging Temple.

The Buddha said to them, "You are born with sins, and your hard work is to atone for your sins. Your next life will be peaceful and happy because of the blessings you have gained in this life."

Therefore, millions of slaves lived and multiplied under the Hanging Temple, serving as slaves from generation to generation.

"I do look down on the Buddha." The Master sighed, "But I have to admit that the Buddha is indeed a genius.

The Buddha light produced by the practice of the Buddhist sect is actually very similar to the Haotian Divine Radiance, but the source of the Buddha light is the Buddha, and the source of the Haotian Divine Radiance is Haotian..."

The Master said a lot of things one after another, all of which were his understandings of the Buddha.

It can be said that those who can open up the seventh realm are all gifted.

Thousands of years ago, the Great Priest of Light who took away the Heavenly Book of Ming founded the Demon Sect and created the sixth realm, the Heavenly Demon Realm, and the seventh realm, the Immortal Realm.

The immortal state can even resist Haotian's time law and truly achieve immortality.

The Buddha also founded the Buddhist sect and created the sixth realm of infinity and the seventh realm of nirvana.

The state of Nirvana can allow practitioners to reach a special state of neither birth nor death, neither dirty nor clean. This makes it impossible for the Buddha to easily influence the world, and also makes it impossible for Haotian to find the Buddha.

As for the academy, it also has a seventh-level extraordinary person. It was at this level that Ke Haoran initially resisted Haotian's rules and then had a stalemate with Haotian for a period of time.

Gongsun Ce touched his chin and had a new understanding of the Buddha.

If you want to kill the Buddha, you must enter the chessboard left by the Buddha and find the Buddha's soul.

But after entering the chessboard, it is equivalent to entering the world of Buddha. After Haotian Tiannv entered the chessboard, she was bound by the rules of Buddha.

This means that it is difficult for Gongsun Ce to kill the Buddha, but fortunately, Gongsun Ce only wants to obtain the core of Mount Prajna and comprehend the essence of the infinite realm, so there is no need to directly confront the Buddha.

For the next month, Gongsun Ce had been consolidating his state of nirvana, while at the same time listening to music, playing chess, and studying formations and talismans.

A month passed quietly, and Gongsun Ce was ready. He took a step forward and then appeared under the Hanging Temple.

As expected, there were a group of slaves under the Hanging Temple. Gongsun Ce looked at these slaves and suddenly had some ideas in his mind.

The Buddha needs sufficient power of faith to maintain the world on the chessboard, so these slaves are essentially the source of Buddha's power.

Aren’t these people the best test subjects for Gongsun Ce’s experiment with legendary power?
So Gongsun Ce decided to give it a try to see if he could obtain enough legendary power from these slaves.

Because their faith is pure enough and their hearts are clear enough in the midst of suffering.

Apart from eating and sleeping, all they do in their lives is work and provide faith to the Buddha.

When Gongsun Ce had previously refined the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, he had successfully gained the ability to extract legendary power from her, so Gongsun Ce wanted to give it a try.

The power of legend is different from the power of faith. The source of the power of faith is personal worship, while the power of legend comes from the word "faith".

If everyone believes that a character in a story exists and that the character possesses extraordinary powers, then the character will gain legendary power.

Take Zhurong as an example. If everyone believes that he is the God of Fire, then he is the God of Fire. This is the power of "faith".

However, Gongsun Ce knew very well that in order to gain this power, he had to make the slaves believe the stories he made up.

So he started to conceive and plan, and a grand story gradually took shape in his mind.

Gongsun Ce in the story assisted King Ying Zheng of Qin in making plans and winning battles thousands of miles away.

With his assistance, King Ying Zheng of Qin successfully unified the six kingdoms and established the powerful Qin Dynasty.

Gongsun Ce, because of his outstanding contributions, was named "God of Literature", representing the supremacy of writing and Confucianism.

Gongsun Ce began to tell the story, his voice like the sound of nature, echoing in the slaves' ears.

About how Gongsun Ce assisted the King of Qin in unifying the world and how he liberated the slaves.

Every detail is so vivid, as if it is happening right before your eyes.

At the same time, Gongsun Ce included a lot of personal opinions in the story, such as the view that sex is indifferent.

Man is born neither good nor evil, but is empty, therefore man is born without sin, sin comes from acquired experience.

The slaves were deeply fascinated by Gongsun Ce's story.

They seemed to see the brave and wise Gongsun Ce galloping on the battlefield and invincible.

They began to believe that Gongsun Ce really possessed extraordinary power and could lead them out of their predicament and gain freedom.

Gongsun Ce's sexuality had the greatest impact on them.

Because of the existence of Buddha, they have come to believe that their suffering is to atone for their sins and that they are born sinful.

At this moment, Gongsun Ce told them that people are born innocent and sin comes from acquired behavior.

The slaves' faith began to waver, and they began to question the Buddha's claim that humans were born sinful.
