Chapter 1107: The Way of Others
Just after the slap fell, ten thousand dead qi spread down Chen Qiumu's arm, and my shoulder first turned into a dry stone, and then continued to diffuse, condensing my whole person into a lime-colored weathered stone.
"It's too weak, it's just a piece of garbage." Chen Qiumu let go of his hand, took a step back, and blew at me, and suddenly my body weathered and turned into a cloud of flying ashes.
In the ring, there was no one in front of Chen Qiumu.
Everyone was stunned, one by one in disbelief.
Am I dead? Under Chen Qiumu's slap, he was annihilated.
No one could have imagined that the gap between me and Chen Qiumu would be so huge.
"Chen Qiumu, you are so despicable, you actually sneak attacked, and what kind of avenue do you talk to us all day long?" Kui Zhuang said angrily with an unwilling face.
"That's right, if you have the ability to compete head-on, what kind of ability is a sneak attack." Fu Hong also sneered.
"Hehe, the winner is the king, and the loser is the loser, this is also the truth. A weak person like him, even if I don't make a move in advance, he will only have a dead end. Chen Qiumu sneered and was about to return to his seat.
"Why hasn't this formation light curtain disappeared yet?" Chen Qiumu looked at the sky full of brilliance and frowned.
"I'm not dead, how can Guanghua disappear?" My voice sounded strangely at this time, causing the arrogance on Chen Qiumu's face to freeze, and he jumped up from his chair suddenly.
Countless brilliance reunited, and my body came out again.
"How can this be? The old man's Dao thoughts contain the power of time, which has consumed all your lifespan. Chen Qiumu's eyes almost popped out, unbelievable.
"Have you destroyed people, and have you destroyed the source?" I smiled calmly, grabbed him with one hand, and threw him straight out of the ring!
The eight big rings, unlike the sixty-four small rings, do not need to decide life and death, as long as one side falls out, that side is considered a failure.
With a bang, Chen Qiumu fell heavily to the ground.
Everyone was silent, and the whole ring was silent.
No one thought that things would turn around so dramatically, Chen Qiumu thought he had killed me, but I threw him out.
"No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a contest between top powers." Some monks smiled bitterly, they thought they would be able to watch a good show, but it turned out to be so neat.
"Brother Ren, you are wrong, sometimes the duel between the top powerhouses is more back to the basics than you and me." Some monks shook their heads in embarrassment. "The more you cultivate to the extreme, the more your understanding of the Dao is simplified, you only saw Zhou Yuan slap Chen Qiumu out of the ring, but you can't see the rules of the Heavenly Dao contained in his hand."
Everyone was surprised, some were puzzled, and some nodded secretly.
All in all, Chen Qiumu was defeated.
He staggered to his feet, his eyes full of unwillingness, but he didn't dare to challenge me again. Because he clearly knew that my Dao Nian restrained him, and the casual palm just now was no longer something he could fight.
"Give me back my book." Chen Qiumu pointed to the things in the ring that he didn't have time to take, and asked me.
"Always insulting others, treating others as inferior, unworthy of reading the books of these sages." I shook my head and sent out a flash of ice that burned all the books in the ring to ashes.
"You ......" Chen Qiumu's face turned red, and he had nothing to say when he saw me burn all the books to the ground. I could only look at me hatefully and turn away.
"Haha, Brother Zhou, what you said is so beautiful!" Kui Zhuang grinned and gave me a thumbs up.
"Brother Zhou, you have made a bad breath for us, if you need help with anything in the future, my sister will help you for free." Fu Hongmei smiled, her eyes rolling at me.
"Yes, and me." Kui Zhuang also said.
"Then thank you two first." I smiled slightly, although Fu Hong seemed to be dissolute, I could feel that she was just free and easy, otherwise she wouldn't care so much about Chen Qiumu's sarcasm.
After I thanked him, I jumped out of the ring.
Everyone was taken aback, I just got this ring, and I actually gave up at this time? And why is that?
"From now on, this ring belongs to me, and anyone who dares to set foot without my permission will be killed!"
My voice was cold, and it chilled the hearts of those who were about to move. Then Kong Ruo jumped up with a smile and took the ring for himself.
This is not over, after I left the ring, I headed for the sixty-four small ring.
All the champions are tense, I even won Chen Qiumu, who is still my opponent.
"You don't have to be nervous, you won this ring, I won't force it, but you have to do something for me." I looked at these strong men, and my voice was calm.
"Senior, please tell me if you have something to say." A strong man said with some nervousness.
I can defeat even a strong person like Chen Qiumu at will, and I'm afraid the requirements I put forward will not be simple.
"Tell me all about your spiritual experiences in this life."
Everyone was stunned for a moment, they had thought of many possibilities, but they didn't think that I wanted this kind of thing.
Their experience? They never considered it rich, but I actually demanded it.
"Senior, can I ask, why do you want these?" A monk said boldly.
"For cultivation." My answer made everyone sluggish for a while, cultivating with other people's experiences? They felt completely unable to understand my hierarchy.
No matter what these people thought, I just stayed like that.
These masters of the ring, in order not to be driven down by me, trembled one by one, and told their life experiences in great detail, and they didn't even dare to stop them from peeking at which female cultivator had bathed and which master they had knocked on.
They worship me as a god, fearing that I will see that I am lying, and that if they lose their lives because of my anger, they will be in remorse.
And I swore every time that I wouldn't pass it on, which made them feel more at ease.
Even some words that were buried in my heart, unwilling to mention to others, but uncomfortable, they seemed to find a place in me to confide in, and to tell those secrets frankly.
In moments like these, I always listen, never interrupting or showing impatience.
I absorb everyone's experience, and I feel it, so that my state of mind can go through the experience of others again and again, so as to continuously improve.
This is the biggest gain I have gained during my twenty years of retreat in the palace, the more I understand the experiences of other people, the more my spirit continues to increase, and the Dao heart has become more and more tenacious and stable.
In five years, I heard all the experiences of the 64 Ring Masters, including those who took their place.
After that, though, I wasn't satisfied, and announced in public a piece of news that shocked all the monks.
Only those who share their own experiences and discusses, no matter whether their lives are wonderful or not, can go to the big ring to practice for ten days.
This news seemed to be in an uproar, and it instantly spread throughout the entire Huangsha Ring.
In the big arena of the ancient battlefield, one day of cultivation is equal to the power of fifty days of cultivation in the outside world, and they almost don't have to pay anything, as long as they talk about their experience, they can get such benefits.
Countless powerhouses looked hot and joined in one after another.
And so another thirty years passed.
During this time, I listened to the dying white beard man talk about his regrets for missing out. There are also crying nuns, who are hurt by love and confused.
There are monks who are devoted to the Tao, cold-blooded and ruthless, drawing their swords and slashing at their loved ones. There are also people who have been seriously injured and frustrated in order to protect their relatives and friends, and have not recovered since.
The experience that everyone tells is an extremely precious life experience. I immersed myself in it, and I felt and scrutinized, so that my Taoist thoughts continued to evolve.
In the past few decades, many major events have taken place on the ancient battlefield.
Most of them have to do with a name. Hua Mingyi has become an absolute figure in the ancient battlefield, and the brilliance created by my extermination of the Hong family decades ago has been completely overwhelmed by his name and fallen into the dust.
Hua Mingyi crisscrossed the land of the five elements, and it is said that he has formed an army of more than 100,000 monks, and those who surrender stay, and those who do not surrender are killed, completely turning the land of the five elements into his forbidden land. Chen Qiumu, who was defeated by me, had a big fight with Hua Mingyi fifteen years ago, and was pierced through the chest by Hua Mingyi's punch and died tragically in public.
And with this battle, Hua Mingyi also surpassed me and became the first in the cultivation list.
