Chapter 255 [I have achieved great success] The nine great celestial masters created nine secrets, and their power will last forever. The great man of the earth, Ge Hong, said: When entering a famous mountain, on the first day of the Jiazi period, hang five-inch-long silks of five colors on a large stone, and you will surely get what you ask for. It is also said that when entering the Jiazi period, you should know the secret prayers of the six Jias: when facing a battle, all the people will march forward in formation. For all the nine characters, you should always pray secretly, and you will be able to ward off evil. If you often recite these nine words silently, you can ward off all evil. This shows how mysterious the nine secrets are. Among them, the secret of forming characters was created by Lingbao Tianzun, whose attainments in formation diagrams were unrivaled in ancient and modern times, so this secret is also called the secret of formation characters. The secret of numbers and the secret of words go hand in hand. One symbolizes infinite space and being free from constraints, and the other symbolizes infinite time and traveling along the long river. The secret of numbers was later obtained by the Taoist Lie Zi, who rode the wind, so it is also known as the secret of words. Therefore, the Nine Secrets also said: Those who are about to fight will all march forward in formation. But no matter which word it is, it all starts with the secret word "Lin", which comes from the most ancient Lord of Tribulation. This secret that dominates the transformation of the physical body was created by Duan De based on the reincarnation seals of each of his lives. It can turn decay into magic and transform mortals into immortals.
This secret symbolizes that one remains calm in the face of events, one’s heart of Tao remains unshakable, and one’s body remains immortal. Just like Duan De, he had to endure tribulations in his physical body in life after life, live out nine different lives, create a true reincarnation, and bloom the brightest light on the road to becoming an immortal. The world only saw that Duan De's physical body became stronger with each generation, but ignored the fact that beneath his despicable, sinister and vulgar appearance, he had a supreme heart of Taoism. Wandering between life and death, he is obsessed with tomb robbing and digging out underground secrets in every life. The real reason is not greed for money, but to pursue the trace of Emperor Huang Tian. With a heart of Tao that remains unchanged for nine lifetimes and an obsession that is beyond belief, the Emperor of Hell played a sonorous war song on the road of reincarnation. If it is said that the ruthless emperor is unwilling to become an immortal, it is only to wait for someone to reincarnate in the mortal world. Then the Underworld Emperor is struggling to survive in the mortal world, waiting for the return of the Heavenly Emperor, the only immortal throughout the ages. The secret of the word "Lin" is the strengthening of the physical body, and it is also the embodiment of the heart of Tao. For a strong man like Gai Jiuyou, his heart of Taoism has long been indestructible. Even when facing the Supreme, he is not afraid of death. He has seen through life and death, and is no longer obsessed with becoming an emperor or an immortal. His only desire is to defeat the Green Emperor. The Lin character secret is useful to Gai Jiuyou, but not very useful. It is not as useful as the immortal song of overcoming tribulation that he created himself. For a supreme being, unless the nine secrets are combined into one and evolve into the magical power of a quasi-immortal king, his own forbidden domain is the most powerful and irreplaceable. But, for Lin Xian, the effect of this secret is really too great. His talent is already on par with the world's top group of saints. With the nourishment of the Green Emperor's blood, the elixir of immortality, and the water of merit, his physical body is incredibly deep, and he can even fight with the ancient saint body Ye Fan. But he could never rank among the first-class sons of the emperor of the universe. What he lacked was not the realm, but a heart of Tao. The man who controls the sky, the soul of the man who controls the sky, and the man who controls the sky are all stubborn people. Although this style has caused countless tragedies and made many jokes, it has also created a unique atmosphere in the universe of Shrouding the Sky. The enlightened ones throughout the ages stepped on the corpses of the emperors, walked through the sea of blood of all living beings, and stood above the nine heavens. Generation after generation of heavenly emperors stepped on the corpses of the emperors as the cornerstone of their own paths, transcending the nine heavens and ten earths and jumping out of the universe. Finally, in the Dharma Ending Age, several powerful mortal immortals emerged. The heart of Tao, or obsession, is the most important thing in this universe.
As long as the obsession is too strong, it is impossible to become an immortal in this mortal world. There is no such thing as an endless sea of suffering. It is never too late to turn back. Just shatter the darkness with thunder and become an immortal against the will of heaven. But, what is obsession? "If you can calm your mind, you will become a wise man; if you can restrain your will, you will become a dragon..." Lin Xian silently recited the Lin character secret, his heart was calm, and a hint of enlightenment appeared in his black and white eyes. Cultivation is a process of cultivating the mind. The past mind is unattainable, the present mind is unattainable, and the future mind is unattainable. Between the arising and ceasing of causes and conditions, the past can be changed, the future does not exist, the present cannot be relied upon, and everything is impermanent. Is the person you were a second ago still yourself? Is the Dark Lord who fell into the forbidden zone of life still the emperor who protected the universe in the first life? This is true for the body and the mind. There is nothing to hold on to. The only thing that does not change in this world is change. Only by grasping change can we achieve eternity. The way of a sage changes with the times. Lin Xian practiced the secret of Lin Zi, his eyes remained unchanged despite the vicissitudes of life, like an immortal saint, overlooking the human world and the universe, going with the wind, rising with the waves, letting the sky, earth, mountains and rivers decay, and the sun, moon, stars and wither. The entire universe was buried, but he remained motionless, still being buried along with it, without any resistance, as if he was truly annihilated, as if he was truly dead. But, is death absolute? People all say that the great emperor fought a great war and wiped out the Great Dao, but was the Great Dao really wiped out? This is not the case. Matter is not destroyed, it just shatters. The emperor shattered the avenue of an area with his own power, grinding it into gravel and turning it into the most subtle origin, but the avenue did not disappear. Once the emperor's power dissipated over time, the avenue condensed again. The grass and trees withered and flourished again, the universe was born and perished, and the monk died and lived again. This is exactly the secret of immortality of the Hades Emperor, and the path of reincarnation that he has taken. Lin Xian used the secret of the word "Lin" to get a glimpse of things. Although he could not forge a flawless immortal heart comparable to that of the Heavenly Lord Dujie, it was also of great help. With the help of the rotation of the sun and the moon and the erosion of heaven and earth, he wiped away many of his distracting thoughts. In an instant, Lin Xian seemed to come back to life and turned into a real person. Although there was no shining light, his temperament was extremely natural. "Is Saint Lord Lin planning to retire to the mountains?" Ye Fan couldn't help but murmur. This was too different from Lin Xian's previous temperament. You know, Lin Xian used to be a ruthless person on par with Hei Huang and Duan De. Fighting Buddha looked at this scene, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he asked in a stern voice: "What is cultivation?" “Eating is a form of cultivation, sleeping is a form of cultivation, drinking water is a form of cultivation, and practicing is also a form of cultivation.” Lin Xian replied calmly: "Practice is practice." Seeing this, Gai Jiuyou also shouted, "Is there anyone better than the Eternal Emperor?" "Although there are strong and weak, there is no superiority or inferiority." Lin Xian thought for a moment and replied, "To conquer the world is the heart of Tao, and to become an emperor after a hundred failures is the heart of Tao." "When will the Supreme Saint Lord truly abdicate to me?" Ye Fan couldn't help but ask, "Where is the Dragon Patterned Black Gold Tripod?" "Today." Lin Xian smiled slightly. There was a black gold tripod with dragon pattern on his head, with thousands of immortal lights hanging down. In his hand he held the innate Taoist diagram, emitting a vast Taoist aura, as if he was a true immortal descending to the earth. It means that the real Lin Xian is superior to Ye Fan.
"Little girl, save me." Ye Fan shouted loudly, facing the black gold tripod with dragon patterns, and immediately sacrificed the Great Emperor's Dao Fruit and took away the Extreme Emperor's Weapon. "Without the dragon-patterned black gold tripod, it's nothing." Lin Xian said grimly, "What can you use to fight against my Xiantian Dao Diagram?" "It's very simple, I've reached the Great Accomplishment!" Ye Fan stood with his hands behind his back, full of confidence. He actually entered the Great Accomplishment Holy Body again, with green hair flying in the air, looking extremely ominous. (End of this chapter)
