When Li Ye stayed at the Penglai Daomen, he often sat down with the eldest young priest and Penglai's outstanding disciple Zhang Yunhe, and also visited all the secluded places inside the gate, wanting to understand the origin of the Daomen, so as to get a glimpse of the original appearance of the world.

It's a pity that the things that the mortal Dao Gate can access are all things that Li Ye once knew, although the details are rich a lot, but the essence is not much different, which makes Li Ye quite disappointed.

Unable to understand it in the mortal world, Li Ye inquired with the Feihong Holy Buddha, Tongtian Sect Master, Bull Demon King and others in the Immortal Realm.

"Pangu opened the sky, Nuwa created people, Hongmeng preached, and the emperor established the world, and there was life and order between heaven and earth, turning the impermanence of the Tao into a cultivation system of the common way, and it also allowed everyone to practice enlightenment, master the power of heaven and earth under the law of the Great Dao, and become the darling of heaven and earth.

"The cultivation of monks, from opening up the sea of qi to forming the realm, and finally shaping the immortal garden, is based on comprehending the unity of heaven and man, taking themselves as a small world and opening up a small world, so as to reach the realm of finite to infinite, and constantly approach the root of the laws of heaven and earth.

"Turning the impossible into the Dharma, so there is practice, which is the basis for the emergence of monks, and taking the finite into the infinite, so being able to peek into the origin of the Great Dao, this is the ultimate goal pursued by monks. ”

Feihong Holy Buddha looked calm and spoke eloquently. Among the monks, she is the existence with the highest realm, and in terms of the degree of comprehension of the Dao Law, don't say that Li Ye can't catch up, and the Heavenly Sect Master is a little worse.

"When we get a glimpse of the origin of the Great Dao and truly grasp the laws of heaven and earth, the body and the universe are together, the heart is in harmony with the universe, the light is with the sky, and the life is with the earth, I am heaven and earth, and heaven and earth are me. The sermon has come to God's sake. ”

In the end, Feihong Holy Buddha looked at Li Ye seriously and said.

Li Ye realized something, bowed slightly, and fell into deep thought.

The Tongtian Sect Master sighed, "The Holy Buddha's words are indeed the ultimate principle of cultivation.

"When the cultivator reaches the immortal realm, the monk will be able to live for a long time. But this is not immortal, not to mention below the Golden Immortal Realm, Shou Yuan is only a thousand years of time, even if it is the Da Luo Golden Immortal Realm, once the soul is destroyed in the battle, it will also turn into ashes.

"However, when I have cultivated to the Great Luo Jin Immortal Realm, my comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth in this realm has reached the extreme, and if I want to go to the next level, I obviously feel that my strength is not enough. The root cause is that they can't find the way forward and direction, just like a person standing by the river, who can't see the bridge, and can only sigh in vain.

"With all due respect, even if it is the Feihong Holy Buddha, whose combat power is the highest in the Buddha domain, it is only brought by the cultivation qualifications, not how high the realm is. is like ordinary people, most of them can only carry a hundred pounds of heavy objects, but some people can carry Jiuding. But there is no fundamental difference between the two, they are just flesh and blood.

"The aura and the laws of the Great Dao in this realm only give us the possibility of achieving the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and we can only cultivate here. is like an ordinary man, no matter how talented he is, no matter how hard he boils his body, he can at most be able to lift the copper tripod. If we want to go to the next level, we have to break the shackles of this world and go to a new world. ”

Hearing this, Li Ye couldn't help but glance at the Tongtian Sect Master.

Understanding this world and going to a new world are the two ultimate questions left by the former Immortal Emperor to Li Ye before he died, and they are also where Li Ye's confusion lies. The words of the Tongtian Sect Master coincide with these two questions.

It seems that when the cultivators have reached the Great Luo Jin Immortal Realm, and when they have reached the level of the Tongtian Sect Master, they have indeed realized that what really binds the monks is the world that has achieved the strength of the monks.

Li Ye looked up into the depths of the void and didn't retract his gaze for a long time.

Looking at the starry sky and overlooking the earth, he remembered the history of human development.

In the primitive era, we lived in pursuit of water and grass, fished and hunted for survival, drank blood, and were no different from wild animals; then we gradually explored and understood the world, mastered the four seasons, comprehended the methods of farming, and knew how to domesticate wild beasts, and civilization entered the age of farming.

Later, as our understanding of the world deepened, we discovered steam, digging

Coal was excavated, electricity was explored, and human civilization entered a glorious industrial age.

The wheels of history are rolling forward, and when our study of the world enters a new dimension, human beings can already set foot in the universe.

In this process, we truly know and understand a part of this world, grasp a part of the laws of heaven and earth, expand our self-boundaries, and gain the possibility of going to a new heaven to a certain extent.

But because of the limitations of this world, we have never been able to get the power to truly travel the galaxy.

When we walk on our feet, our territory is only a hundred miles of the tribe, when we rely on war horses, our territory can reach tens of millions of miles, and when we rely on machinery to travel, the whole world comes into our eyes.

There is no end to the road, there is still a front ahead, we are always exploring, expanding.

If there is an end to the road, it must be because we are not strong enough to drive us further – it may be that we have not discovered enough of the world, or it may be that the world has only the power to provide.

If you want to go further, you must gain new power in a farther place.

"Da Luo Jin Immortal is already the strongest in this realm, but he can't set foot in the void yet. In the depths of the deep and dark galaxy, is there a more powerful existence?" Li Ye asked himself.

For this question, the Feihong Holy Buddha and the Tongtian Sect Master may not have an answer, and can only vaguely know that there is heaven outside the sky through their own perception of the laws of heaven and earth. But Li Ye is extremely sure that this power must exist!

Because of the dragon qi in his body.

It's also because of those Heavenly Dao Qi Machines.

Seeing that the monks such as the Feihong Holy Buddha and the Tongtian Sect Master were also deep in thought, Li Ye suddenly remembered Chu Nanhuai's master and apprentice on the other side of the ocean, the Mayans whose divine power had disappeared, and the ubiquitous shrines for the gods in their descriptions.

In Li Ye's mind, if the gods really exist, then they must be powerful monks who have reached the level of "the same light with the sky, the same life as the earth, I am the heaven and the earth, and the heaven and the earth are me".

A monk who is higher than the realm of Da Luo Jin Immortal.

"So in the end, the saint realm above the Da Luo Jin Immortal actually exists?" Li Ye thought of this, "If the gods of the Mayans really exist, what is their relationship with us? The physical characteristics of the Native Americans are almost the same as ours, are we really from the same race?"

Li Ye gradually thought of the core question he was concerned about: "There is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the people, if the dragon qi in my body and the nine wisps of scattered heavenly machine are really their doing, if I run into them in the future, how can I ensure my status? If I want to fight them, what can I rely on?"

Li Ye stood up and looked around.

He deeply understands that whether he is going to the galaxy or facing a strong enemy, what he can rely on from beginning to end is nothing more than the land under his feet and the followers behind him.

This is true of fighting enemies, defeating other countries, and stepping into the galaxy.

"I must master all the powers in this world, the ....... that has been discovered and the that have not yet been discovered" Thinking of this, Li Ye's eyebrows were like swords.

In any case, the battle of the Western Regions must be won.

He must conquer this world, own this world, and master all the power in this world.

Only in this way, no matter what the road ahead, can he not be afraid of any challenge.

Li Ye ended his trip to Penglai Daomen, returned to Chang'an with the order of the young master, and urgently summoned Song Jiao and several important ministers to discuss the matter on the same day, "In less than three years, the Western Regions will start a war, and this battle cannot be lost, and it must be completed in one battle, and the war cannot be delayed."

"During this period, it is necessary to increase the combat power of the army as much as possible to ensure that there is no shortage of various resources during the war. I have called you today because I have two decisions to announce, say

I will give you counsel, and if there is no opinion, I will order it to be carried out. ”

Song Jiao didn't squint, looking like she was listening attentively, while Li Zhen and Cui Keli looked at each other, guessing what kind of important decision Li Ye would make when he just returned from Pinglu.

Li Ye stretched out a finger, looked at Song Jiao and said, "First, the Tsing Yi Yamen sent a hundred great monks to rush to the other side of the sea from now on to support Chu Nanhuai's master's and apprentices' expedition and accept their command. ”

Song Jiao was slightly surprised, her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, and she hesitated for a moment before saying: "The situation in the Western Regions is tense, and it is the time to employ people, and at this time, it is too much to weaken the strength ......of the Western Regions by mobilizing a hundred great monks overseas?"

Most of the monks who rushed to the Western Regions did not sit in the Anxi Protectorate, but went deep into the hinterland of Black Khan and Dashi, and were responsible for various tasks such as infiltrating political and religious forces and spying on intelligence from all sides.

And the use of troops against Silla and the Wa Kingdom was also in the autumn of this year, and the imperial dynasty was already beginning to prepare.

Li Ye didn't answer Song Jiao's question, and continued: "The great monks sent to the other side of the sea must be proficient in formations, familiar with astronomy and geography, and also carry magic weapons to survey spiritual stone deposits and spiritual planting elixirs, and they must not be delayed. ”

Hearing Li Ye say this, Song Jiao knew that there was no room for negotiation at all, so she could only bow her head and say yes.

In the previous dynasty, there were more than 300 great cultivators of the True Human Realm, but in the past two years, because of the victory of the army, many people have broken through the realm, and with the hard work of the Chang'an Cultivation Academy, the number has exceeded 500.

Because of this, Li Ye was able to send a hundred people to the Americas at once.

After speaking, Li Ye looked at Li Zhen and Cui Keli, "Within the imperial court, a new yamen should be built, which will be responsible for the surveying and mapping of mountains and rivers, the exploration and excavation of spiritual stone deposits and spiritual planting elixirs, and the core goal is to find more powerful cultivation resources, whether it is used to make magic weapons or to assist in cultivation."

"In addition, there is another yamen to study the magic weapons and elixirs in depth to improve the quality, whether it is to optimize the rune array or stimulate the original potential of the spirit stone elixir, we must keep improving. These two yamen are of the same grade as the six departments!"

As soon as these words came out, Li Zhen and Cui Keli were both moved.

This is to dig deep into the material potential of the dynasty in terms of cultivation.

Now, the Tang Dynasty has newly acquired Nanzhao and Annam, and has begun to occupy the southern overseas islands one after another, and is about to start a war with Silla and the Wa Kingdom.

Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty has a profound heritage, coupled with the various branches of the Chang'an Cultivation Academy, and the training of monks in different categories, the dynasty is not short of talents to carry out various matters.

Many of Li Ye's previous layouts are now gradually revealing their influence.

"The ministers received the order, and then went down to draw up a plan. Cui Keli and Li Zhen hurriedly took the order.

Li Ye nodded and didn't say anything more about these two issues. What he did was to speed up and deepen his understanding of the world, but in a simple and crude way of using resources. After all, what Li Ye wants now is to quickly improve the strength of the dynasty and unify the cultivation realm.

When the time comes, it is not impossible to integrate the cognition of the world by the cultivation systems of all parties, organize it, and form a complete system, which will inevitably sublimate the monks' cognition of the origin of the Great Dao.

At the end, Li Ye asked, "How are the preparations for the war against Silla and the Japanese kingdom going now?"

"The expedition plan has been prepared, and military forces and materials are being mobilized. If the half-magic vessels of the Haihe Yamen can be used, the army will be able to be mobilized in early July. ”

"Okay!" Li Ye stroked his palms and praised, and then stared at everyone with burning eyes, "The imperial dynasty is about to flourish, everything is complicated, and I ask you to do your best." ”

"We will obey the Holy Commandment!"
