Volume 1 Catechumens Chapter 2 Snow Mountain
Since the Xuanbing Ice was not cold enough, Wu Xie and the others certainly had to find something colder to complete the quenching. And to find something colder, of course, it is easiest to find it in a cold place.
The coldest place in the world is undoubtedly the Ice Soul Lake of the Nine Netherworlds, but they are not capable enough to go there at the moment; The next best place is the Great Ice Sheet in the far north, but it is too far away and dangerous to be worth the joke of your own life for the sake of quenching the fire; If you retreat and seek the second, there will only be 100,000 mountains of Heavenly Snow Peak.
The knowledge of geography on Earth is also partly applicable in this epochal realm, where the higher the mountain, the lower the temperature. When it reaches a certain level, the temperature will be below freezing all year round. In such high mountains, the snow does not melt, but accumulates over time, eventually forming eternal peaks.
Wu Xie and what they are going to are this kind of snow peak.
The mountains in the west of the 100,000 mountains are particularly high, and the snow peaks are next to each other, connecting into a white expanse, looking from a distance, the white snow mountains and the white horizon are blended together, and you can only see a piece of snow white, and you can't see where the mountain is and where the sky is.
Wu Xie and Tao Tu wore special sunglasses, draped the cold-proof daqi made of snow animal skin over the robe, and wore flying boots at their feet, trekking through the snowy mountains, looking for places that might hide the treasures used for quenching.
They had been walking up the snow line for almost a day, but when they looked up, the snow-capped mountains were still towering into the sky, and they didn't know how high the road was.
"Senior brother, do you think there will be any Immortal Cave Mansion on the top of this mountain?" Probably to pass the dreary atmosphere, Tao Tu looked up at the topless snowy mountain, and said curiously, "We have been climbing up like this, can we just climb to the sky?" β
"It shouldn't be, there are senior ancestors who have tried it." Wu Xie recalled the patriarch's notes he had read and found the answer, "Above 10,000 zhang from the ground, the wind will gradually increase to the point where it is difficult for the mortal body to bear; Above 50,000 zhang, the mountain wind has turned into a gang wind, and it is difficult for even the refining gang monks to continue to ascend; After more than 100,000 zhang, the gang wind will carry extremely fierce true fire, which is difficult for even the Huandan monks to resist. In the notes of the ancestors of the past dynasties of this sect, the highest climb is only about 130,000 zhang, and there is no higher record. β
"130,000 zhang?! Haven't even reached the top of the mountain?! "Clay didn't care about these things, and when he heard it suddenly, he was really shocked.
"It's not this mountain, it's the Tongtian Peak in the West Pole." Wu Xie recalled, "Tongtian Peak is very strange, the mountain is indestructible, the top and bottom are generally thick, and the grass is bare and does not grow, like a stick standing between heaven and earth. From ancient times to the present, I don't know how many monks in the road have shown their magical powers, and climbed all the way up along Tongtian Peak, but I have never heard of anyone who can climb to the top of the mountain. β
"Doesn't the Immortal Family have the Five Elements Escape Method? How about using the earth escape technique to go up from the inside of the mountain? β
"I don't know what the structure of that mountain is, and I can't get into it whether it's the earth escape technique or the earth walking techniqueβthat's why it's called the sacred mountain." Wu Xie recalled it carefully, and said, "However, there are not such high mountains in the 100,000 mountains, and the highest peak is less than 50,000 zhangβI remember that there was a sect called 'Kantian Sect', which lived on the top of a big snowy mountain......"
"Huh?! Are we climbing someone else's mountain gate? Startled, Tao Tu hurriedly asked, "This is no joke!" β
ββ¦β¦ You think too much, Kantian Sect is also a big sect of Xuanmen, and the entire mountain gate is more than 100 miles away, and it is in the Cave Heaven World Realm separated by spells, just like our Qingyang Mountain. Wu Xie couldn't help but smile when he saw his nervous appearance, "As long as we can see the mountain, it will definitely not be their mountain gate, don't worry." β
Only then did the clay relax and let out a long sigh.
The monks in the world are divided into three major factions, and it is okay for famous families such as Qingyangguan to be decent, while Xuanmen and Demon Dao will never allow others to trespass on the mountain gate without permission, and if you accidentally get into which mountain gate, it is no different from sending them to death.
"It really scared me...... Senior brother, has anyone from this sect been to the Kantian Sect? β
"It doesn't seem to be, these Xuanmen all like to live in seclusion, except for the time when the three teachings are performing, they usually don't even go out of the mountain gate, and it is impossible to invite others to visit."
"They don't go out of the mountain? If you don't have experience, how can you see clearly? β
Wu Xie was impressed by this question and immediately gave an answer.
The so-called three religions in the world are divided precisely because of the different directions of cultivation.
Decent people pay attention to the experience of entering the world, the disciples walk in the world, gain insight into the world, do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and through the experience to gain insights to break through the bottleneck of mind cultivation, with the help of the power of merit to weaken the power of the heavenly tribulation, and finally be able to cross the tribulation and ascend.
Xuanmen pays attention to seclusion, they pursue nothing and no self, the shape is like a tree, the heart is like an ancient well, through the perception of heaven and earth and break through the bottleneck of heart cultivation, with the help of the way of the unity of heaven and man to avoid the catastrophe or weaken its power, so as to achieve enlightenment and soar.
The Demon Dao doesn't care whether they enter the world or escape from the world, they focus on digging out their inner emotions, and find their life goals by experiencing various desires, so as to break through the bottleneck of mind cultivation, as for the Heavenly Tribulation or something, anyway, their ultimate goal is to cultivate into extraterritorial Heavenly Demons, and they can't escape from being bombarded by the Heavenly Tribulation, as long as they escape from the world before they are bombarded to death, they will be considered successful.
With such a big difference in their philosophies, there will naturally be no less bumps and bumps between the three religions. Especially between decency and the devil's way, it is simply a natural mortal enemy - doing good deeds and accumulating virtue is to put it bluntly, doing good deeds, and the devil's way is a thorough egoist, and it is natural to do all kinds of evil - they call this a decisive thought of killing, and think that only by being completely faithful to their own desires can they be able to understand their thoughts and make progress.
The contradictions between each other are so big, it is natural to start fighting. But immortals fight mortals and suffer, and even if it is a demonic path, what is needed is a world realm that can give them pleasure, not a devastation.
Therefore, every 50 years, the elites of the three religions will gather in some places where the heavens and the earth are far away, and they will be grouped according to different realms, and they will fight happily, and the heavens and the earth will be torn apart, and the ideas will be understood - this is the "Three Teachings Method".
There are still many specific affairs of the Three Teachings, but the notes of the predecessors are vague, and they only say, "Any disciple with high strength will inevitably end up in a battle, which is both a danger and an opportunity." β
ββ¦β¦ Then don't you want to go to war, brother? Tao Tu listened to these things that he had never known before, and only listened to it with his mouth open and leisurely, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and he asked with some concern, "Didn't you ask the uncles and uncles about the situation?" β
Of course, Wu Xie asked, but whether it was Jiang'an, Zhang Long, or Sanyunzi, he was reassured that there would be no danger.
"Confrontations between disciples like us, such as us, will not lead to death." Sanyunzi said leisurely, "If you can't even protect a few disciples who have entered the Dao, where do you let the Huandan Patriarchs who lead the team put their faces?" β
"So, there won't be any danger in the competition of the Dao realm?"
"Anyway, our Qingyang Guan has never died a disciple of the Dao at the Three Teachings Interpretation Conference for so many years, I don't think you will set this precedent." Sanyunzi's smile was a little treacherous, "As for your opponent, as long as you can beat him to death, don't show mercy to your subordinates." Every time a person dies in the Demon Dao, there will be one more peace in the world! β
"Sounds like a cruel look...... "Clay listened and was a little uneasy to listen to, "what if I'm going to play too?" Will you be beaten to the point that you will be able to live in bed from now on? β
Wu Xie looked the clay up and down, and shook his head very seriously: "Senior brother, I think you really think too much!" β
The two of them walked as they talked and walked on the steep snow-capped mountains, unhindered by the harsh terrain, whether it was soft snow or thin air.
From a distance, I saw two blurred white figures walking among the snow, and only the black hair exposed under the hat could make it easier to determine their location.
They don't wander around aimlessly all the time, but they are consciously looking for places such as ice crevasses and snow caves, and only in that place will the cold qi of heaven and earth combine with the leyline qi of the mountains to give birth to the heavenly and earthly treasures they are looking for.
"Ice Essence Snow Bloom" is a general term that refers to various ice and snow essences. They may come in a variety of shapes and have very different uses, but for Wu Xie and clay, they are quenching materials.
As long as the spirit is not turned on, no matter what kind of ice essence snow bloom is, it is just a quenching material.
Of course, if this kind of heaven and earth treasure can open up spiritual wisdom, it will no longer be a raw material for refining, but a so-called "demon cultivator", they must first determine which kind of breath the other party is born from between heaven and earth, and whether their nature is good or evil, and then treat them differently.
At this time, the inconvenience of a decent person is reflected, if it is a person in the Demon Dao, it doesn't matter whether the other party is good or evil, in short, it is all refining materials - for those Demon Dao monks, except for themselves, everything else is a material that can be used, whether it is a thing or a person, whether it is a fellow disciple or a relative, as long as there is a need, everyone can kill it.
Wu Xie has always felt that the so-called "people in the Demon Dao" are likely to be the Taoist systems handed down from Jasmine's time, or even the remnants of the Supreme Divine Monarch. Because Jasmine has sighed more than once, saying, "The style of these people in the Demon Dao is really neat and neat, and they have the style of the master back then."
So for the people in the Demon Dao, he has always been a little curious, and he wants to see if these crazy theories of the Supreme God Monarch have been practiced for so many years, have they become blue-faced and fanged? Are they all with green fire in their eyes, surrounded by boundless sins?
While he was thinking wildly, he suddenly felt a dangerous aura and couldn't help but stop.
The clay was a little slower to react than him, but soon stopped as well, for there was already a terrifying sound coming from there.
The two glanced at each other, and at the same time took out an invisibility jade talisman specially made before departure, and the two figures suddenly disappeared in the snow, and there was no trace of them.
In these 100,000 mountains, all kinds of dangers emerge one after another. It never hurts to be cautious.
After completely hiding the figure and aura with the stealth jade talisman, Wu Xie hit his head, and after the clay broke, the two of them cautiously walked in the direction where the terrifying sound came......
