Chapter 168: The Secret of the World (4)

"Why abandon it?" Xu Guan was puzzled, he had never heard of it.

"In order to pursue a stronger and higher realm. In order to pursue true immortality. Wu Yan walked back to the bedside and said in a deep tone: "And there is only one way to achieve this ultimate goal, and that is to cultivate, keep cultivating. When you reach the pinnacle of cultivation and realize that your realm is limited by this space, you will try your best to get out of this space and go to a higher space to continue your cultivation, and when the higher space also restricts your realm, you will go to a higher space. And the lifespan of a cultivator also becomes longer and longer with this process. ”

"Although Yu has never been afraid of death and has never thought about immortality, he can also understand the cultivators who pursue these things. Xu Guan nodded, and then threw out a substantive question: "Cultivators who pursue immortality should pursue it, and go to a higher space. What does this have to do with abandonment?"

If you want to explain this problem, you have to start from 10,000 years ago, or even earlier, there is too much to contain, Wu Yan stopped thinking for a while, and after sorting out the language, he began to speak.

"Mr. Nanshan was a stubborn stone in the era of Emperor Wa 10,000 years ago. Do you know that you have fought with him many times, but have you ever noticed that he is different from other cultivators?"

Xu Guan thought about it very seriously after hearing this, and recalled that a few days ago, when he had just obtained the jade pendant, he joined forces with the Heavenly Master and the Dust Sealing Daoist for the first time in the south of the imperial capital to deal with the Nanshan Stubborn Stone, when he used the Mixed Yuan One Qi Trick to urge out a black and white ball of light, covering Nanshan in it, but he didn't expect it to be broken cleanly. Nanshan was just looking a little embarrassed at the time, but he didn't suffer any substantial damage. Later, when chatting with the Daoist Elder of Fengchen and the Old Heavenly Master, these two Taoist masters also mentioned that the Nanshan Stubborn Stone had swung an extraordinary knife, and the two of them did not dare to resist it at all, so they could only dodge the edge.

The two Dao Masters were sure that the power used by Nanshan to swing that sword was definitely not true qi, nor was it magic power, nor was it internal force.

"There is a terrifying force in the body of Nanshan Stubborn Stone. Xu Guan suddenly reacted.

"That's right. Wu Yan continued: "The power in his body is called the innate essence qi, which is the power that exists in the heavens and the earth at the beginning of chaos. The quality of innate essence is far beyond the power of heaven and earth today. ”

"The power that existed at the beginning of chaos. Not anymore?"

"No more. The great gods of Emperor Wa's time sought a way to go to the upper realm because their realm was restricted, and when they ascended, they took away all the innate essence of heaven and earth. Wu Yan sat on the bed, and then officially began to speak: "Mr. Nanshan was left behind because his cultivation was too low to leave with those great gods at that time. The essence in his body had been cultivated before that. Later, there was no innate essence, and his cultivation stagnated for a long time, about thousands of years, or even longer, but fortunately, he was a stone and would not die, and many of the spirits left behind at the same time as him died because of the limit. Later, he discovered the power of heaven and earth from heaven and earth, and studied the method of absorbing the power of heaven and earth into his body and transforming it into true qi. In this way, he was able to continue cultivating again, but because the quality gap between his true qi and his essence was too great, his realm was very slow to improve compared to before. ”

"No wonder he was reluctant to use such a strong innate essence in battle. It turned out that there were only so many in his body, and he couldn't replenish it, so he used a little less. Xu Guan suddenly realized.

"Yes. Wu Yan nodded in agreement: "The innate essence in Mr. Nanshan's body is less than a critical juncture, and it is rarely used. However, although he has been so economical, after all, he has lived for so long, experienced countless battles, encountered many crises, and used his innate essence many times. There is not much innate essence left in his body now. ”

"Hmm. I see. Xu nodded.

"After the end of the Wahuang era, there is no longer any innate essence in heaven and earth. The creatures of the various races in later generations were decadent for a long time, and it was not until the Shang Dynasty that Wu Xian appeared, and there were cultivators in Kyushu again. ”

"Wu Xian will fall at night, and he wants it with pepper. Xu Guan remembered this sentence written by Qu Yuan in "Lisao".

"That's right, it's him. Wu Yan continued: "The "Classic of Mountains and Seas" of later generations recorded: In the great wilderness, there is a mountain named Fengfu Yumen, which is entered by the sun and the moon. There are Lingshan, Wu Xian, Wu Ji, Wu Xuan, Wu Peng, Wu Gu, Wu Zhen, Wu Li, Wu Di, Wu Xie, Wu Luo, ten witches rise and fall from here.

Wu Xian is the head of the group of witches, and his other nine great witches are regarded as the top ten ancestral witches.

Because of the appearance of Wu Xianzu Wu, there is a witch road and a family surnamed Wu. There are cultivators again in Kyushu.

The period of the Wuxian era is known as the prosperous era of Wudao.

Later, Wu Xianzu Wu cultivated to the realm of the peak of Jiuding, and stopped in this realm for a long time. Even a genius like him had a lot of effort to figure out the reason for the stagnation of the realm, that is, there were limitations in this space.

Moreover, he also discovered that the power of heaven and earth is not endless, and that there are many places and few places, and that there are many in the wilderness where there are no people, and there are few tribes inhabited by witches. From this, it can be inferred that the power absorbed by the cultivation of shamans comes from the finger power of heaven and earth.

The total amount of power between heaven and earth is certain, and if a sorcerer gains one point from cultivation, there will be one point less between heaven and earth.

In order to break through the realm, Wu Xian found a way to reach the upper realm, and in order to continue cultivating after reaching the upper realm, he wanted to bring the power of heaven and earth with him.

Later, it took a long time, and after many experiments, Wu Xian finally opened a passage connected to the upper realm at the top of Lingshan Mountain, and also invented a formation to gather the power of heaven and earth. And because flying from Lingshan to the upper realm, you need to rise to a very high sky, in today's words, it should be the edge of the earth's atmosphere, where the wind is violent, and there is a risk of slipping out of space, and the human body can't resist the impact of that environment, so Wu Xianzu Wu has developed a drug that can raise the human body in a short period of time enough to resist the damage caused by the wind and vacuum.

Finally fully prepared, the ten ancestors decided to get into action. On that day, they set up the spirit gathering array and took the pill. The channel is opened.

The passage was suspended high above the Spirit Mountain, as if a big hole had been broken in the sky, and a deep and huge whirlpool appeared.

The ten Ancestral Witches followed, followed by the other Great Witches. They were sucked into the passage in groups like crucian carp crossing a river.

Along with all the great witches, it was the power of heaven and earth gathered by the Spirit Gathering Array.

Half a day passed, and in addition to the seven great witches who were designated to stay behind, there were only witches below the great witches left in Kyushu.

Another half a month passed, and the vortex passage in the sky still did not disappear, still absorbing the power of heaven and earth teleported by the Spirit Gathering Array.

At that time, even a great witch clearly felt that the power of heaven and earth had become extremely thin, and if he sucked it like this, he would be sucked up.

There was a great witch named Wu Ji, who angrily broke the Spirit Gathering Array. This move also aroused the dissatisfaction of a great witch named Wu Xu, and the two had a fierce quarrel, but fortunately they were persuaded by the other five great witches.

Later, these seven great witches obeyed the orders of Wu Xianzu Wu and took other witch clansmen to guard in front of the Fengfu Jade Gate, the entrance of Lingshan. Wu Yan said this, stopped, and took a breath.

"Why didn't Wu Xianzu Witch fly over with these seven great witches?" asked Xu Guan.

"Because Wu Xian is worried that in the future generations, someone will climb the Spirit Mountain again and fly to the upper realm to compete with them for the power of heaven and earth needed for cultivation. Wu Yan explained. So he chose the weakest, but the least likely to resist his order, seven of the great witches of the Dingding, and stayed to guard the Fengfu Jade Gate. Although these seven people were very weak among the great witches at that time, when the other great witches all ascended with Wu Xian, these seven people were the strongest seven great witches in Kyushu. ”

"I see. Xu Guan understood. "Wu Xian, as an ancestral witch, brought so many clansmen into the witch path, but in the end, he only cared about himself flying to the upper realm and pursuing a higher level of realm. ”

"Speaking of which, the cultivators of later generations should be grateful to that great witch named Wu Ji. If he hadn't destroyed the Spirit Gathering Array, the power of heaven and earth would have really been sucked dry by Wu Xian's Spirit Gathering Array. Wu Yan said Wu Xian, full of resentment.
