Volume 1 Cachumens Chapter 13 The Past of the Three Religions, the Flower of the Other Shore
The cultivation of the art of the integration of law and martial arts has reached the point where Wu Xie is now, and it has almost reached the limit. The will be the will, the practice of the master is also practiced, and the next is the accumulation of years - how to use it skillfully in actual combat? How to judge the situation and decide whether to swing the knife that is life-or-death? and even how to further achieve the realm of freedom...... These can definitely not be practiced in a short period of time, only slowly accumulated and comprehended.
It has been almost three hundred years since the eldest grandson's uncle created this master, but until now, he felt that he had not been able to refine this mastery to perfection, and he had not been able to hold his head up and declare that "I have created a world-shattering masterpiece".
The reason for this is that the accumulation is too small.
With his ability, those ordinary level opponents can't play a sharpening role at all, and there are really not many enemies in the entire Kyushu realm who can let him use this stunt and feel something in battle.
"I'll also go when the three teachings are acting." When Wu Xie said goodbye to him, the eldest grandson and uncle said, "If you move faster and hack to death all those demons in the Dao realm, you may still have time to observe the battle on my side." β
"What's going on with the Three Teachings? According to what rules? β
"The so-called Three Sects Acting Law is actually our decency and the Demon Dao fighting against each other, fighting for control of the world's Kyushu. And Xuanmen is in charge of being the referee, and by the way, mediate - or to put it another way, whoever doesn't follow the rules, Xuanmen will help the other side. β
"Are they still helping the Devil?"
ββ¦β¦ It's not that I haven't helped. Don't think that the people of Xuanmen seem to be very indifferent, they are good people, they pursue the way of forgetting love without good and evil, for them, it is good to do good or evil, just to see whether it conforms to the 'truth'...... But I don't understand their reasoning anyway. β
Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect this person in the Xuanmen to pursue such a strange concept.
"When people start fighting, the method often changes. But there is one principle that remains the same: entering the Dao against entering the Dao, refining Gang against Liangang, Ning Yuan against Ning Yuan - the battle of the Huandan realm rarely happens, after all, the Huandan monks are too terrifying to move, in case the two sides fight the real fire, it is likely to destroy the small world as a competition field. β
"Xiao Shi Lu Realm?"
"Well, there are too many methods of our monks that are easy to cause serious consequences, in order to prevent endless poison and turn the human world into a ghost realm, so after several discussions, it was finally decided to fight in some independent small worlds...... That was almost 5,000 years ago......" The expression of the eldest grandson and uncle was a little embarrassed, and his face was no longer full of his usual sharpness, just an old man who recalled the past.
"I was ...... Later, I met the people in this door, and I learned the origin of this door. At that time, it was the Battle of the East China Sea, so I hurried to join the war...... I remember that at that time, Qingyang, Chixia, and the White Emperor faction joined forces, gathered a coalition of righteous monks, and fought a vicious battle with the Sixteen Demon Sects outside the East China Sea. After a great battle, the righteous monks suffered heavy casualties, and the Chixia faction became history; The Demon Sect was even defeated, and the sixteen sects became ten, especially the most powerful Dragon Demon Sect, which was completely wiped out, and the world was shaken! β
"Dragon Demon Sect?"
"Well, the Dragon Clan also has factions, the South China Sea Dragon Clan belongs to the Xuanmen faction, the Yunmeng Dragon Clan belongs to the Righteous Dao faction, and the East China Sea Dragon Clan belongs to the Demon Dao faction, at that time they were known as the Dragon Demon Sect and were the head of the Demon Dao."
"As a result, the battle was lost?"
"yes, it's gone! The entire Dragon Palace was burned by Huo Lingzi, the Dragon Demon Sect was burned to the point that he had no children and grandchildren, and even the fish and shrimp in the entire East China Sea were almost extinct, and for more than 5,000 years, I have never heard of their movements again. β
Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Uncle Shi, how old are you this year?" β
"You're asking about my seniority, right?" The eldest grandson naturally understood what he meant, and said with a smile, "For some reason, I have not been included in the genealogy of my own family, so the generations are not counted according to the entry time, but the same generation as the head of the family, the ancestor and the Taishang patriarch, do not appear in general, even if they appear once in a while, everyone pretends not to see each other." β
Wu Xie couldn't help laughing, but secretly admired the longevity of the demon clan.
The clam ancestor has lived for tens of thousands of years, and the eldest grandson ancestor is also more than 5,000 years old, but they all seem to be still in good spirits - when they were competing for the inheritance of the cloth cloth god phase, the tree demon Su Lin once said that even if Xiao Buyi flew to the sky, he might not be able to live longer than him, which is true!
Jasmine has long said that unless the Great Dao is cultivated and the Yang God is immortal, no matter how high the power is, no matter how great the magic power is, the longevity is limited. If you are a Terran monk, it will be as little as five or six thousand years, and no matter how much it will be more than ten thousand years.
Ten thousand years is indeed long enough for a human monk who only has a thousand-year lifespan, but for the clam patriarch, it has not yet reached a lifetime! Looking at the appearance of the eldest grandson's uncle, he can probably live for 10,000 years......
"You don't have to envy the longevity of our demon clan, you must know that it is extremely difficult for our demon clan to ascend, since ancient times, I have hardly heard of any demon clan predecessor who has succeeded in ascending." The eldest grandson said lightly, "What we monks pursue is to keep moving forward and surpassing. Being bound in the world and unable to move forward anymore, he can only grow old with the years...... Alas! It's not a good thing to live too long! β
Wu Xie also sighed, no longer mentioned this topic that made each other depressed, and asked about the Three Teachings Acting Method.
"At the beginning, the battle was too tragic, our righteous path was sad about the loss of life, and the demon path was sad about the heavy losses, and Xuanmen also felt that it was impossible to be alone if it went on like this. Although everyone's starting point is different, they have the same view of 'controlling the scale of the war', so the last three religions agreed to hold a small-scale competition every short period of time to end various disputes over the years and divide the scope of the power of the three religions in Kyushu - this is the Three Religions Method. β
"Over the years, the specific process of the Three Teachings has changed frequently, sometimes in the ring, sometimes in the melee, and sometimes in the adventure competition...... But no matter how it changes, the principle of entering the Tao to entering the Dao, refining Gang to refining Gang, and Ning Yuan to Ning Yuan, will not change. β
Wu Xie saw that the eldest grandson's uncle and ancestor were gradually interested, and it was estimated that he thought that he could not fly as a demon clan, and he was depressed in his heart. So he said goodbye to him very interestingly, and set off to find the other side of the flower.
"The Flower of the Other Side...... It used to be very common, especially in this Yin Soul Valley, which was full of mountains. But over the years, I don't know how there have been fewer and fewer roads, and now the banks of the River Styx are almost extinct. If you want to find them, you can only go deep into the interior of the Netherworld, and you should be able to find them by some rivers. β
"Thank you for your advice! Disciple farewell! β
"Be more careful on the road, and if the situation is not right, return to the world immediately, and don't take risks." When Wu Xie said goodbye, the eldest grandson, who had always emphasized the way of killing, said a gift that had no taste of killing, "An outstanding disciple like you should be brilliant and famous in the world, but you shouldn't die silently in this Netherworld realm!" β
With the advice of his uncle and ancestor, Wu Xie left the Valley of the Shadows and headed for the Netherworld hinterland, far away from the River Styx.
The Netherworld Realm is very vast, perhaps larger than the Human Realm. But in this vast world, the only places that have been explored clearly by the monks are the banks of the River Styx.
This is of course because there are no road signs after leaving the Styx, but more importantly, because the deeper you go into the hinterland of the Netherworld, the more dangers there are.
Those demons, those resentful spirits who are obsessed, and those monks who continue to cultivate as ghosts...... They did not dare to live by the River Styx for a long time, because the elusive dragon of the dark dragon had always regarded them as the main target of sweeping, and they swallowed one by one, without exception.
Whether it is a demon, a resentful spirit, or a ghost cultivator, all of them have enough wisdom and know how to seek good fortune and avoid evilβor rather, those who don't understand this have been killed by the Dark Dragon. So the closer you get to the River Styx, the less dangerous things there are; And in the hinterland of the Netherworld, far away from the River Styx, God knows how many terrifying things are hidden!
Although it is said that the Dark Dragon will sweep through the Netherworld Realm every once in a while, this is just a legend, and even the eldest grandson, Uncle Ancestor, who has lived in the Netherworld Realm for thousands of years, has never seen it with his own eyes.
The Netherworld Realm has existed for an incalculable amount of time, and according to Du Xin's memory, it has existed since at least the time of the Holy Emperor Lixin. After so many years, although the old ghosts have gradually aged and dissipated, there is an endless stream of new ghosts, and in the inland of the Netherworld, there must be crises everywhere!
Therefore, Wu Xie was fully prepared, once the situation was not good, he immediately hid in the Heavenly Book World Realm, and after a period of time, the warning signs in his heart disappeared and then came out, relying on this method, he actually traveled safely and steadily in the inland of the Netherworld Realm for several days, and collected some flowers on the other side.
The small light blue flowers that exude a cold glow are scattered, sometimes a few will be found between the mountains and rocks, sometimes some will be picked in the wilderness, but the "riverside" mentioned by the eldest grandson and uncle has never been found, and the harvest has always been limited.
Wu Xie didn't know how many other side flowers he needed to make the elixir, but presumably the twenty or thirty flowers he had on hand were definitely not enough - the medicinal part of the other side flower was its petals and stamens, and it could only be used after it was dried in the shade in a low temperature environment, and after the twenty or thirty flowers were processed, it was estimated that there were only a handful of them, and no matter how you looked at it, they couldn't refine a few pills.
So even though he was a little worried, he continued to march in the Netherworld Realm, carefully guarding against any possible danger while carefully searching for traces of the flower on the other side.
Looking at his inefficient search method, Du Ruo finally couldn't help it and volunteered to help.
Compared with Wu Jie, who is still a human after all, Du Ruo, who is a ghost, can be said to be like a fish in water in the Netherworld Realm. She is not an ordinary ghost, but has been cultivated for many years and has magical powers, in this Netherworld Realm, she can use her own coercion to subdue those ordinary souls, and drive them to scatter and search in all directions.
This practice not only expands the scope of the search, but also reduces the risk of being discovered by powerful ghosts, compared to Wu Jie's slow search alone, the gap is like replacing a horse that travels hundreds of miles a day with a divine horse that travels thousands of miles a day, and the efficiency has increased many times at once!
In just three days, she found five or six times more than Wu Jie's previous gains.
Looking at the flowers on the other side of the Yin Mansion in the Heavenly Book World, Wu Xie was embarrassed, but he couldn't help but smile.
If we continue like this, it won't take long to complete the mission and return to the human world......
