Volume 1 The Catechumens Chapter 21 Passage to the Dark

Yunmengze is a big lake located in the south, and the most famous geography book "Mountains and Rivers" in the world of Kyushu is introduced: Yunmeng Daze, boundless, boating for a thousand days without seeing the other side. Or it is said to be the Ze of the sky, or it is said to be the mother of a thousand lakes. According to local legend, there are five-colored dragons at the bottom of the water, and there are endless children and grandchildren. There are hundreds of rivers and rivers in the world, and all rivers and lakes come from this. The natives also said that although the cloud dream is big, the center of the lake cannot be entered, the dragon is very proud, and when he sees the boat overhead, he will be angry and overturned, and a boat will die!

This probably said a few things, first: Yun Mengze is very big; Second, there are dragon clans living in Yunmengze, and most of the dragon monarchs of the water tribe in the world come from this; Third, dragons don't like others to swagger above their heads, so if you want to die, you can try it.

Wu Xie knew these three points, and he definitely didn't want to provoke the pride of the dragon clan, so when he came to Yunmengze, he found a secluded and uninhabited place, stood by the lake and condensed a talisman with mana, and sent it into the water.

This talisman does not have any combat effect, it is a proof plus a messenger talisman, proving that the person of Qingyang Guan is here, and briefly explains the meaning.

When people go to visit strangers' homes, they should prepare a prayer post, and write their identity and intention on the worship post; When visiting between scribes and officials, they often sent a prayer post as a courtesy. Such a habit is also found in the immortal sect.

Wu Jie's talisman is a special worship post for Qingyang Temple.

After throwing the talisman into the lake, he moved a clean white stone and placed it by the lake, sat on the stone to regulate his breath in peace, and meditated.

Anyway, it was impossible for the Yunmeng Ze Dragon Clan to have an answer for a while, so he simply took this time to sort out his thoughts and consider the gains and losses of various things after coming to Kumho County.

Time passed little by little, and his thoughts deepened little by little, and he found that many of his practices during this period were completely different from the past, even if he was fluttering after being touted, it seemed to be a little too fluttering.

Come to think of it...... It's as if my mind has been disturbed and my mind is not clear enough......

Could it be ...... He is only in the Hundred Refining Realm, and he is fortunate enough to enjoy the "heart demon" that can only be encountered when the peak of Ning Yuan hits the Huan Dan realm?

That's a lot of face!

The inner demon is the manifestation of the influence of the extraterritorial heavenly demon on the human world, and it is an obsession formed by the distractions in the monk's heart mixed with mana. This obsession is often born out of the invisible, and unconsciously causes the monk to lose his way forward and go in a way that is not in line with his own nature.

That is a dead end, and many people will make all kinds of mistakes on the road that they will regret. Some of them will be invaded by the demon heart and turned into extraterritorial heavenly demons in the human world, and they will not even be reincarnated after death.

What's even more terrifying is that after the death of these monks who have been invaded by the demon heart, the demon heart will not dissipate immediately, but will turn into a demon seed and lurk, as long as the opportunity is right, it will burrow into the bodies of other monks, affecting their bodies and minds, and making them develop more and more in the direction of demons.

The ultimate goal is naturally to summon extraterritorial heavenly demons to descend on the earth.

For example, the Sanshan Dao people who killed Du Ruo and died under Wu Xie were probably invaded by the demon seed. Otherwise, how could he, a monk who should not even have attained the level of refining Gang, know how to summon extraterritorial heavenly demons!

Wu Xie looked back on his actions and couldn't help but wonder if he had also been affected by the demon seed. But Jasmine immediately dismissed his speculation - no matter how deeply the demon seed was hidden, it would not be possible to escape her eyes!

When it comes to the Devil's Path, she is a well-deserved authority!

Since it wasn't a demon seed invasion, what could be the reason?

Wu Xie was thinking, but the lake in front of him suddenly separated, and a group of shrimp soldiers and crabs rose from the lake surrounded by a young man in silver-white armor and bowed to Wu Jie.

"Yunmeng Ze Ao Qi, I've seen Daochang Wu!"

Ao Qi is the seventh son of Yunmengze Great Dragon Monarch, the one commonly known as the Dragon King, and he is less than two hundred years old this year, and he is only a child among the dragon clan.

Hearing that Wu Jie, the rising star of Qingyang Temple, was visiting, he volunteered to go out to greet him. As a result, before he came out of the water, he saw a tall young man in a pale cyan robe, sitting quietly on the white stone by the lake and contemplating, his demeanor was leisurely, full of the air of floating dust, and a little admiration suddenly rose in his heart.

The third prince of Ao did not hide his failure in the Qingyangguan competition, so Ao Qizhi said that his brother, who had always been proud, had planted a heel this time, and a senior who had been refining for many years was defeated by the sword of the junior in the Hundred Refining Realm. If it weren't for the mercy of the other party's men, I am afraid that even if I could save my life, I would be seriously injured.

Therefore, he was full of curiosity about Wu Xie and wanted to see who this young master who was called by his brother was brave and skilled in swordsmanship.

As a result, this sight is indeed as I guessed, an outstanding person full of ethereal atmosphere!

Human prejudice is terrible, and so are dragons.

Since the seventh prince of Ao believes that Wu Xie is an immortal full of elegant atmosphere, this concept will not be easily changed, no matter how Wu Xie explains, he only feels that Wu Xie is modest, so he admires Wu Xie more and more, and is also full of yearning for the decent and famous family of Qingyang Temple, and even mutters "When I grow up, I will also go to Qingyang Temple to study."

In this regard, Wu Xie could only sigh secretly.

Coming to Qingyangguan to study? I don't know if An Ziqing, who hates the dragon clan, will pull out his sword and cut it angrily when he sees a genuine dragon clan appear......

Greeted by the Seventh Prince of Ao, he entered the Yunmeng Dragon Palace, which was so gorgeous that the mortal palace turned into a kennel.

After entering the Dragon Palace, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be a flash of inspiration in his heart, and his mind suddenly became clear, and some things that he had not thought about clearly for a period of time became clear in an instant, as if a veil had been brushed off his heart, and the whole person seemed to have broken out of the fog, and his eyes suddenly opened up.

The most important thing is that the question of "life and death", which he has been thinking about for this time, finally has a clear concept.

Life is very important, but there are many things in the world that are more important than life. It is right to cherish life, but there is nothing to be afraid of death.

Life and death are just endless cycles. And what a monk like him seeks is to transcend this cycle and become an eternal being, no longer bound by life and death, or even by anything, and to attain complete transcendence!

He had understood these truths before, but it was only now that he really "understood" them.

It's hard to explain the mystery, it's like a person has learned a lot of driving skills, such as how to grasp the steering wheel, how to read road signs, how to control the accelerator and brakes, how to change gears...... And so on, but as long as he hasn't really driven a car and hasn't mastered the skills of driving through practice, even if he has more driving knowledge, he can't be considered to be able to drive.

In the past, although Wu Xie knew a lot about life and death, it was like carrying a lot of driving knowledge on his back, and he always only stayed in words; And from now on, he truly experienced the realm between life and death, and experienced the feeling of the cycle of life and death, as if he was really sitting in the driver's seat and driving a car on the road.

He understood the principle of life and death!

Then his steps suddenly stopped, and his eyes gradually blurred.

In front of his eyes, a gray mist suddenly appeared in the air where there was originally nothing, and his mind was involuntarily attracted by this gray mist, and subconsciously walked towards the mist and stepped into the mist.

The surrounding scenery shook violently, turning from the resplendent Dragon Palace into a deep and dark world, and the icy wind whistled as if it was about to blow everything into ice.

But when the cold wind blew on him, a wave of heat suddenly surged from the bottom of his heart, turning into a golden-red flame that swirled around his body, completely blocking the cold wind, and he couldn't blow it at all.

As the flames rose, he seemed to feel that something was burning in his body, and his eyes suddenly became much brighter.

By the light of this flame, he clearly saw that he was standing on a dry earth, and the earth under his feet was crumbled one by one, and there was no grass. Not far away, several bright flames were resting there, one of them was a dazzling golden color, which made people feel warm at the sight, while the other flames were much darker in color, even faint.

He tried his best to look into the distance, but all he could see was a vast stretch of dry earth, and many large and small flames.

Some of the flames were so dazzling, so bright, that he had just glanced at them, and he felt as if he had been hit head-on, and the whole person was knocked into the air.

The gray mist reappeared, and then he found that he had returned to the Dragon Palace, standing there in a daze, surrounded by a group of surprised shrimp soldiers and crab generals, while the seventh prince of Ao was standing not far away in a daze, his eyes full of admiration.

"See sex!" After making eye contact with him, Seventh Prince Ao finally came back to his senses and couldn't help but shout, "You actually saw sex the moment you stepped into the Dragon Palace?" It's simply amazing! Sure enough, he is a famous disciple! The next time Qingyangguan recruits disciples, I must go to learn from a teacher! ”

Wu Xie came back to his senses and suddenly realized.

At that moment just now, he finally broke through the boundary between life and death, and stepped into the last level of the three realms of the Dao, the realm of seclusion.

And what he saw just now was actually a soul that had inadvertently entered the underworld.

Those large and small flames are the people in the Dragon Palace; And those dazzling and terrifying flames are naturally the "Dragon Ancestors" mentioned by Uncle Shi......

Even though he was supposed to be in the Dragon Palace, he couldn't help but laugh.

It's a great feeling to go one step further!

At the moment when Wu Xie stepped into the Yunmeng Dragon Palace, "Bian Lang", who was sitting and thinking quietly in the Kumho Dragon Palace, suddenly changed his face and frowned.

"The Heart Demon Dafa has been disturbed, has that Wu Xie already entered the Yunmeng Dragon Palace?" He guessed the reason as soon as he thought about it, but he didn't have the slightest worry, "It's okay, as long as you leave the Yunmeng Dragon Palace, you will inevitably be disturbed by the Demon Dafa again." I don't expect to be able to control you like I can control Long Jun and them, as long as it affects your thinking and makes your thoughts not clear, it's enough! ”

But after only a few seconds, his face suddenly changed, and he was about to hurriedly cast a spell, but he was still a step slow and spat out a large mouthful of blood.

"The Demon Dafa has been broken! This guy happened to be in the Dragon Palace, and he was able to see his sex! ”

He was so angry that he almost yelled, but he didn't expect that the supreme supernatural power he was best at would be destroyed by chance.

His inner demon Dafa is extremely powerful, and he can subtly control the minds of others, even if he is a little higher than him, it is difficult to get rid of it. In order to crack this spell, it must first be suppressed to a minimum, and then it must be broken by strong mental power.

Wu Xie was in the Yunmeng Dragon Palace, and the Dragon Palace's guardian array naturally suppressed the power of the Heart Demon Dafa to the minimum, and at this time, Wu Xie could break through life and death, and stepped into the Tongyou Realm in one fell swoop, and with the help of the spiritual power that rose at this moment of realm breakthrough, he defeated his Heart Demon Dafa in one fell swoop.

The inner demon Dafa is extremely powerful, but the flaws are also obvious, once it is broken, the operation of the entire spell will be temporarily stopped. His infiltration of the entire Kumho County was naturally completely ineffective, and even his control over Long Jun and the others was weakened a lot.

What's even worse is that he was seriously injured because of this - a serious injury that requires at least ten days and half a month of recuperation!

However, does he really have ten days and a half months to slowly recuperate?

This rising star of the younger generation of the Demon Dao Heart Sect pondered and couldn't help but grit his teeth.
