Volume 1 Chapter 128, The Mysterious Sect (II)
"Kill me, I don't quite understand what you mean. Xie Budong didn't believe the old man's words, if the other party wanted to kill him, he wouldn't be able to survive the next day with their strength.
"Yes, kill you, my ancestor was humiliated by you, and after learning that you came to Taidong, he entrusted me to keep you in Taidong. The Sect Master replied truthfully.
When have I offended his predecessors. Xie Budong looked at the white-haired old man in front of him, and secretly thought to himself, I am afraid that those who can be called seniors by him are all a hundred miles away, or even more.
But think about it, I haven't beaten an old man in the past few years.
Seeing that Xie Budong was silent, the sect master thought that he was afraid, so he explained: "Don't worry, my senior was only angry for a while, and he didn't give any orders, and after he learned that you eliminated a hidden danger for the people of Taidong, his obsession was not particularly strong, so this matter is still to be discussed." โ
"Can I ask, who is the ancestor of the sect in your mouth? Even if I die, I have to die clearly, I don't remember beating the old man in the past few years, do you recognize the wrong person?"
Although Xie Budong believed that the other party would not kill him, and even if he started to do it, he had the "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover" left by Lao Jun and a lot of treasures in the system, it was not impossible to get out, but he was inexplicably burdened with a black cauldron, how uncomfortable he was in his heart.
"Old man, hahahahaha, I know why my predecessors killed you, and I would never keep you thirty years ago with your broken mouth. The sect master laughed wildly, so much so that he couldn't answer Xie Budong's question.
After a while, he relieved himself and said, "This senior of mine is from the perspective of seniority, if you count it according to age, I'm afraid he is only in his early twenties, and you actually call him an old man." โ
These words reminded Xie Budong, thinking that although he has offended many people recently, but the peers who are really powerful are probably the only ones who meet the woman named Zhang Baoguo at Yancheng Airport, what is her name.
"The senior you are talking about, but his name is Jiang Xue'er?"
"Exactly, I didn't expect you to have a good memory. At the mention of Jiang Xue'er, the sect master's face showed a respectful and solemn expression, this was not pretending, but respecting this young girl from the bottom of his heart.
"Careful-eyed woman. Xie Budong muttered in a low voice, he didn't expect that a few angry rebukes in a fit of anger would actually lead to death.
"What did you say?" Although the sect master was old, the cultivator was deaf and clear-sighted, and he clearly heard Xie Budong's complaints.
"Do you know who she is? You must know that just because you have offended her, if it is spread out, there will be countless masters who are willing to kill you and please her old man. โ
"I don't know who that crazy girl is. Xie Budong's face was full of helplessness, and he told Jiang Xue'er the ins and outs of the grudge.
After listening to this, the sect master was also very helpless, and he secretly admitted Xie Budong's sentence "a careful-eyed woman". I really didn't expect that such a trivial matter would lead her to chase all the way from Yancheng to Taidong, and she followed her for so long.
If it weren't for Jiang Xue'er's master who found out that she left Zhang Baoguo without authorization and didn't know where to go, and urgently recruited her back to the sect, I'm afraid Jiang Xue'er wouldn't know when to follow. "Sect Master, that's the way it is, anyway, I scolded the people, and I also released the pigeons, what do you want. โ
It was the first time for the sect master to meet such a horizontal person, he was young and his strength was low, although his aura was very unusual, and he was suspected of having practiced superior exercises, but with his current strength, if he wanted to kill him, Xie Budong had no power to fight back.
"Although Senior Jiang has returned to the sect, before leaving, tell us to beat you well, let you know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, as for how to beat it...... old man smiled evilly. "You'll know in a moment"
"Lang'er. โ
Without waiting for Xie Budong to protest, the sect master had already issued an order.
"The disciple is here. Young Sect Master Bai Lang clasped his fists and saluted.
"Take Xie Budong into the back mountain and send him to the Sumeru Fantasy Mansion. โ
"The disciple obeyed. Bai Lang glanced at it indifferently, clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Xie, please." โ
"Hey, old man, you made it clear to me, where are my aunts, and where are you going to send me. Don't you go ......."
The sect master did not pay attention to Xie Budong, and after giving the order, he turned around and left, and entered the back hall.
Xie Budong wanted to step forward several times, but was blocked by an invisible wall of qi, he turned to look at Bai Lang and asked, "Young Sect Master, what is that fantasy or something?"
"Sumeru Fantasy Mansion, Mr. Xie is so blessed, you must know that only those who have made great achievements or are about to break through in my sect will have the opportunity to enter the Illusion Mansion to practice, and this kind of opportunity is something that ordinary people can't ask for. That being said, Bai Lang looked at Xie Budong with the eyes that already regarded him as a dead man.
To say that Bai Lang's words are not false, then the Sumeru Phantom Mansion is the most mysterious and important place in this sect, how the Phantom Mansion was formed is unknown, it has existed before the sect was founded, and the legend is that it is the cave house left behind after the ancient immortals crossed the catastrophe and ascended.
Since it is called the Phantom House, it must be related to the illusion, every person who enters the Sumeru Phantom Mansion will enter an illusion, where some people can get everything they want, and some people can see what they are most afraid of, it is said that everyone who enters will encounter a different scene, but each illusion is directed at the most vulnerable existence in the human heart, this situation is called the heart demon.
Heart Demon,It is the first benefit of the Phantom Mansion to the disciples,When the cultivator reaches a certain strength, he will experience the Heavenly Tribulation,And the difference,The Heavenly Tribulation is not the Heavenly Thunder Bombardment,But the calamity experienced from the inside out according to the different personal circumstances,And the Thunder Tribulation will only be experienced when the demon beast wants to become an immortalใ
Like the level of martial arts, the cultivation of immortals is also divided into ten stages, and there will be a heavenly tribulation without a third order, and each heavenly tribulation is different, but what remains unchanged is the inner demon.
The ferocity of the demons is no less than the thunder of the sky, according to ancient records, the cultivator is against the sky, and he is regarded as a guilty person by the way of heaven, but each sect relies on exercises to eliminate sins, so the heavens also turn a blind eye, but after the practice reaches a certain stage, if you want to go further, you need to abandon distracting thoughts and achieve ideological detachment.
Abandon distracting thoughts, it is easy to say that it is difficult to do, and the three-character scripture says that "at the beginning of man, nature is good." This is just a general statement, you must know that people are born from animals, and there is a desire to kill in their blood, so "evil" is human nature, but it is just covered up by civilization, but if you want to sublimate your consciousness, you need to face your darkest side.
Some things will be instinctively forgotten or ignored, such as bloodthirsty, such as evil thoughts, and greed and other desires, when the practitioner takes the initiative to shield his "good" side, to seek "evil", this emotion will be infinitely magnified, if you can overcome the "evil" thoughts, you will expel this part of the distracting thoughts, to achieve the purpose of sublimation, but if it fails, then "evil" will dominate human nature, and then it will become brutal and bloodthirsty, and there will be no humanity at all.
However, the Heavenly Dao will not allow this to happen, and generally when the Demon Tribulation fails, it will guide the cultivator to suppress the power of the Demon and burn the demonized person to ashes from the inside out.
And the illusion of Sumeru Fantasy Mansion is to simulate the generation of demons, so that the entrant unconsciously understands the state of the demons, if he succeeds, he will naturally increase his resistance in the face of the demons in the real tribulation, even if he fails, it is just a nightmare, and he will not be destroyed.
Among the immortal cultivators, if there is such a place, then the success rate of the tribulation for the disciples will be greatly improved.
However, this is only the first benefit, and the illusion is almost negligible compared to the second benefit.
The second feature of Sumeru Phantom Mansion is the difference in the speed of time.
You must know that time and space have always been an existence that cannot be mastered in human civilization, and now in the hands of cultivators, it can barely be more than space formations, and it is barely involved in space theory, but there is no clue about time.
And in this cave, the flow of time is ten times slower than that of the outside world.
What is the concept of ten times, spending ten days in it, and the outside world has just passed one day, which is equivalent to ten times more cultivation time than others, if you cultivate in it for a long time, then even if you have mediocre qualifications, you will become an existence that catches up with and surpasses geniuses.
However, where there are advantages, there must be disadvantages, in addition to these two advantages in the fantasy mansion, there is also a point of criticism, some people think it is a good thing, and some people die because of this.
That is, the gravity inside is unusual, in the phantom mansion, sometimes the gravity increases, at most thirty times that of the outside world, and sometimes there is no gravity, and many people die because of the sudden change in gravity.
In fact, it is very easy to understand, when a person infuses his whole body with true qi to resist this pressure because of the change in gravity, and suddenly the gravity disappears, then the force used upward before will explode because there is no suppression, and the blood true qi instantly rushes into his mind, and the powerful pressure directly shatters his head.
However, some people, after adapting to the unpredictable gravity, can still gain unexpected benefits for their practice because of this special illusion, which is a later story, and we will not show it for the time being.
Of course, Xie Budong didn't know these things, and Bai Lang wouldn't tell him, in Bai Lang's opinion, Xie Budong's fifth-order strength, entering the Phantom Mansion while resisting the demons, while being invaded by gravity, would definitely die.
Soon, the two arrived at the back mountain, saying that Xie Budong didn't see the shadow of the mountain at all, but there was a small dirt bag about three kilometers behind the house.
"Mr. Xie, are you ready? I'm going to send you into the Phantom Mansion. โ
