Chapter 109 Tianxin

　　Before the Meridian Gate of the Forbidden City, Nurhaci was executed on the spot. Ji Xiang and Lao Zhang also discovered the situation of the escaping wish.

　　"He ran so fast... It seems someone is indeed helping Nurhaci. This person's strength is very high... Although I don't want to believe it, but... this person may be someone above the peak of Ascension."

　　The reference object is of course the Yuanmiao Great Sage.

　　Judging from the disappearance speed of the wish, it can be compared to the speed at which the Yuanmiao Great Sage's wish appeared in Fuli at that time.

　　Lao Zhang only appeared here as a Yang God incarnation, and there was no way to stop the sudden disappearance of that wish. In fact, Lao Zhang also admitted that even if he took back all his incarnations and tried his best to stop it, with the speed at which that wisp of wish disappeared just now, he still couldn't catch it.

　　"Above the peak of Ascension?"

　　"Yes... the Tianxin Realm."

　　Lao Zhang explained: "The Seventeenth Realm, the Tianxin Realm! When the human heart does not exist, it is the same as the heart of heaven, which is 'when the human heart is removed, the heart of heaven returns'. This is a legendary realm. In the outer world, there is no such person."

　　"After a person has no heart, the heart becomes a piece of nothingness. Nothingness is called the Dao, so the heavenly nature will always exist in the body. At this time, the immortal power penetrates the heavens and the earth, and the merit participates in creation. It can briefly affect the direction of some things. For example, just thinking about the result of something in the heart, then this thing will gradually happen as the Tianxin Realm expert thinks."

　　"False things, under the continuous thinking of the Tianxin, will also become true. Therefore, according to the records of my Longhu Mountain classics, most of the experts who have reached the Tianxin Realm will retreat and think about the original appearance and essence of the Great Dao, in order to try to touch the origin of the Great Dao."

　　"Therefore, what the Tianxin Realm experts imagine may become reality in some cases, and even influence people to make wrong choices."

　　"The classics say that this is the supreme power to transform falsehood into reality. It is the great power of 'breaking through falsehood and seeing the original'. It has the same wonderful effect as the dynasty's conferment of illusory ghosts and gods."

　　"A Tianxin expert can even imagine a sect by himself. In front of a Tianxin expert, the 120,000 Yang God incarnations of an Ascension expert, as long as his Tianxin is strong enough, can imagine all 120,000 incarnations as nothingness. Of course, this kind of power can only act on false forms such as incarnations and responses, and cannot act on actual things under the Great Dao."

　　"At least in the classics, in my opinion, people in the Tianxin Realm have almost no weaknesses. This kind of person has made his mind almost the same as the Dao."

　　The physiques of immortals cannot be generalized.

　　That's probably it!

　　The three words "Tianxin Realm", after listening to Lao Zhang's explanation, made Ji Xiang feel a lot of pressure.

　　Of course, there must be weaknesses. There is no such thing as a person without weaknesses. Even Jehovah has stones that he can't lift. The description is very terrible, just because the person who wrote the classics is too far away from that realm.

　　"There are many experts in the hidden world. The Tianxin Realm has appeared so quickly. Sure enough, the people who can run rampant in the world, interfere in the change of dynasties, and watch the changes of the years are at least at the peak of Ascension, that is, people above Flying Immortal..."

　　"It's no wonder the Yuanmiao Great Sage looks down on the newly ascended Liexian... The way they look at the Liexian is probably no different from the way the Liexian look at mortals."

　　Nurhaci has the support of a Tianxin Realm expert behind him. This is really internal and external trouble. If Lao Zhang hadn't passed the Ascension Tribulation at the beginning, the Ming Dynasty would probably have been poked with a hundred transparent holes.

　　"Now I'm afraid I've become a thorn in the side of some people! It can be foreseen that if someone wants to kill an Ascension expert, they will definitely not choose Lao Zhang, but will come at me."

　　Ji Xiang pondered for a while, and this conclusion was not difficult to draw.

　　The Yuanmiao Great Sage, the Jiajing Emperor, the Song court's immortal officials, including the Tianxin expert behind Nurhaci now, all know that he is a disabled Ascension. As long as his body is destroyed, his combat power will be almost useless, after all, he is not a Ghost Immortal.

　　Ghost Immortals, on the other hand, don't have high requirements for the body. As long as they have a body that can move, but Ghost Immortals are the lowest among the five immortals, and they can't even cultivate to the Chunyang Realm. Calling them "immortals" is actually just powerful ghosts.

　　Even those in the Wanshou Palace of the Song court would rather transform into Yin spirits than cultivate Ghost Immortals. From this, it can be seen that the path of Ghost Immortals is a big pit, and they will only cultivate it if they really have no other choice.

　　(I must improve my physical strength as soon as possible, so that my form and spirit are unified with the Dao. But having said that, even if I cultivate as fast as possible, it will take me one day to cultivate from the Fifth Realm to the Eleventh Yuan Shen Realm. The subsequent cultivation must take twelve years. This is almost unchangeable.)

　　Three years of divine fire refining the body, enduring pain, pearl falling into the Yellow Court;

　　Nine years of facing the wall in silence, the old body transforms into the new, the transformation of the innate.

　　Ji Xiang pondered in his heart for a while, and asked Lao Zhang:

　　"Then if you want to kill an Ascension expert, what should you do?"

　　"You said, killing an Ascension expert below Chunyang? Shidi is afraid that those people in the hidden world will attack your body."

　　Lao Zhang also told Ji Xiang about the fact that wish power can restrain Ascension, which he had already talked about before.

　　The wish power of an Ascension expert is equivalent to the gathering of the wishes of all people. Therefore, an Ascension expert can transform himself into a god and derive a divine tablet. The use effect of an Ascension expert's wish power is the same as that of the worship of all people.

　　Therefore, to deal with Ascension experts, you must also use the method of worship of all people.

　　Ji Xiang's first reaction was the White Lotus Sect and various illegal religions of this era, but these cannot be eliminated. In the late Ming Dynasty, thought was open, and the court did not control this too much. The main problem was the infighting of factions within the court, and the mutual struggle between the emperor and his ministers, so that they did not have time to control the situation outside.

　　Various religions are popular. There are those who do good, and naturally there are those who do evil, and there are those who collect money. They raise a broken flag, copy two paragraphs of the *Shurangama Sutra* and the *Tao Te Ching* at will, and then brag to others that they have obtained the immortal's teachings, preach about karma and retribution, and after various fusions, they can pull out a small religious group of hundreds of people in less than five days.

　　Ji Xiang patted his forehead.

　　But he was not worried, but happy!

　　"The wish power of the worship of all people? That is to say, there is the incense of all people?"

　　If you talk about incense, then I won't be sad!

　　Lao Zhang's expression became strange when he heard Ji Xiang say this.

　　And Ji Xiang asked another question, which was about the twelve years of retreat, but he didn't expect Lao Zhang's expression to change at this time, and he said to Ji Xiang: "In this Forbidden City, there is someone who is in retreat. You might as well go and ask her for advice."

　　"Who? Ah! Could it be..."

　　Ji Xiang didn't react at first, but he quickly understood. He touched the golden mallet on his waist and thought to himself, so that's how it is!

　　Consort Shang! No wonder she has a Zhenqi like the golden mallet in her hand. It turns out that it's not just because she is Emperor Jiajing's favorite concubine.

　　But... how does Lao Zhang know her?
