Chapter 228: The Truth
Four hundred years ago, the Purple Dao Immortal Sect was far less powerful than it is now.
At that time, the Purple Dao Immortal Sect only occupied one mountain, which is now the position of the main peak, and the total number of disciples was only a hundred, and the strongest one was also Jindan cultivation.
When Ji Chen came back, he found that the Purple Dao Immortal Sect was already in ruins, and no one was spared!
He searched through the entire ruins brick by brick before he found the true spirits and remnant souls of some of the disciples, and there were still many disciples who had completely lost their souls.
Among them, Lan Qingxue only has a little true spirit left.
If there are remnant souls left, Ji Chen can still find a way to slowly replenish the soul, just like a little remnant soul like Gu Nu can also be restored.
But there is only a little true spirit left, and the soul cannot be recovered, and it will last for a few days at most, and the true spirit will dissipate.
In desperation, Ji Chen tried to use the heart of the world to fuse Lan Qingxue's true spirit with the heart of the world, so that Lan Qingxue's true spirit could not be dispersed for the time being.
That's right, it's the heart of the world.
The heart of the world of the cultivation realm is fused with the sword master, so it ensures that the sword master is immortal and immortal, and Ji Chen's small world has not grown into the dust realm at that time, but it also has the heart of the world.
The heart of the world, as the core of a world, can not only protect the holder from immortality, but also has a certain amount of "creation" authority, not only to create things, but also to create people, but the small world at that time was too weak, and these functions were not stable.
After Lan Qingxue fused the heart of the world, she could be regarded as temporarily preserving the true spirit, but only keeping the true spirit was far from the true resurrection. Later, Ji Chen used the creation authority of the Heart of the World, and used a dream of Lan Qingxue as the cornerstone to rebuild the former Purple Dao Immortal Sect.
Not only did he rebuild the mountain and buildings of the Purple Dao Immortal Sect, but he also created a hundred disciples of the Purple Dao Immortal Sect, just like in the dream.
At that time, the small world was still just a prototype, and the heart of the world was far from being created out of thin air, so it was necessary to use dreams as the cornerstone in order to build the former Purple Dao Immortal Sect.
In Lan Qingxue's dream, the Purple Dao Immortal Sect had not been destroyed, and she didn't know that Ji Chen and the Demon Lord had died together, in her memory, the last scene she saw Ji Chen had left her countless cultivation resources, and then left.
In that dream, Ji Chen was still alive.
Therefore, after the reconstruction, the Purple Dao Immortal Sect not only has full personnel, but also another Luo Chen.
Ji Chen returned those disciples who left remnant souls into place one by one and integrated them into the new body created by the heart of the world, as for those disciples who did not have remnant souls integrated, it was equivalent to having no "reality" as a basis, just a fictitious appearance in Lan Qingxue's dream.
Everything they showed may not be what they really are, but what Lan Qingxue has in her impression.
For example, "Luo Chen", Lan Qingxue didn't know the identity of Ji Chen's traverser, nor did she know Ji Chen's true strength, so the "Luo Chen" in her dream was lowly cultivated, and she didn't have self-knowledge as a traverser, and she had a handsome face.
In other words, the rebuilt Purple Dao Immortal Sect relied on Lan Qingxue's dream, and some of them merged into the original remnant soul, and as before, they had their own thoughts and personalities, such as Liu Yi.
But there are still some people who have long been disillusioned, just fictional characters from dreams, created by the heart of the world, and their personalities and tempers come from Lan Qingxue's impression of them.
Ji Chen placed the reconstructed Purple Dao Immortal Sect in the original location of the Purple Dao Immortal Sect, and came to steal the sky and change the day.
As for the real Purple Dao Immortal Sect, that piece of ruins was sealed into the space mezzanine by Ji Chen, and it became a space under the Broken Immortal Cliff.
It was as if the Purple Dao Immortal Sect had always existed and had never experienced that disaster.
However, this reconstructed Purple Dao Immortal Sect seems to be seamless, but in fact, it is full of hidden dangers.
First of all, this reconstructed Purple Dao Immortal Sect can be regarded as an extension of the small world because it was created by relying on the heart of the world, although he exists in the cultivation realm, but in fact it is inextricably linked with Ji Chen's small world.
Ji Chen's small world was only a prototype of the world at that time, and the Purple Dao Immortal Sect created was not stable, because it was built on the basis of dreams, and it could turn into a dream bubble at any time.
To put it simply, once a dream is awakened, all false things will come to naught.
Including Lan Qingxue, who only had the true spirit left, and those disciples of the Purple Dao Immortal Sect who only had the remnant soul left.
And the rebuilt Purple Dao Immortal Sect, although it was built on the basis of dreams, it was destined to be in line with reality.
Once the events in the dream conflict strongly with reality, it is very likely to cause the dream to be awakened.
For example, in Lan Qingxue's memory, why was the Purple Dao Immortal Sect that was obviously destroyed intact, and why was the same sect that was obviously dead still alive?
Therefore, Ji Chen hid their memory of the destruction of the sect.
For another example, when the entire cultivation world knew that Luo Chen's Immortal Venerable was strong and died with the Demon Lord, the people of the Purple Dao Immortal Sect found that there was still a weak Luo Chen living in their sect, and they didn't remember that they had fought with the Demon Lord.
Therefore, Ji Chen also imprisoned the "Luo Chen" created by that dream into the space under the Broken Immortal Cliff.
Also, Ji Chen's own existence itself will also conflict with reality, and the entire cultivation realm knows that Luo Chen Immortal Venerable is dead, if he exposes the news that he is still alive, it is very likely that the dream will be shattered.
Although he can find a reason to explain why he is still alive, and he can explain everything reasonably, I am afraid that the first time Lan Qingxue confirms that he is still alive, the dream will be shattered due to violent emotional fluctuations.
The only solution is to let the small world fully mature, then as an extension of the small world, the Purple Dao Immortal Sect that exists on the basis of dreams will also become stable.
Moreover, after the small world matured and became the dust realm, Ji Chen, as the master of the realm, already had the authority to create things, and had the ability to turn the virtual into reality, and now he can even create living beings.
In other words, as long as the small world matures, all hidden dangers will disappear, and Ji Chen will no longer have to deliberately hide his identity.
For this reason, Ji Chen has been insisting on losing in a row, hoping that one day he can make the small world mature, and in the process, the small world continues to grow and expand.
And every time the small world grows, Lan Qingxue, who has fused the heart of the world, will get feedback, which is why her cultivation will improve so quickly.
It is precisely because of this that Lan Qingxue will ignore the soul attack in the Heavenly Tribulation, because her soul is the heart of the world, which is extremely strong.
It is worth mentioning that Ji Chen also discovered the truth about the destruction of the Purple Dao Immortal Sect in Lan Qingxue's memory, and during Ji Chen's trip to find the Demon King, the Purple Dao Immortal Sect was destroyed by the strange god cultivators who passed by all the way.
Later, Ji Chen found the Divine Transformation Cultivator, whether it was for revenge or to prevent the news of the destruction of the Purple Dao Immortal Sect from spreading, Ji Chen wanted to catch him.
Under Ji Chen's torture, he learned that the Divine Transformation Monk and the Purple Dao Immortal Sect had no grievances and no enmity, and there was no intersection at all.
At that time, the strongest person was no more than the Purple Dao Immortal Sect of the Jindan Monk, and he was not qualified to deal with a Divine Transformation Monk.
The reason why the other party destroyed the Purple Dao Immortal Sect was purely a whim when passing by, and he did it easily, neither to seek revenge nor to seek wealth.
After he single-handedly destroyed the Purple Dao Immortal Sect, he didn't even check it on the ground, and left directly, and he didn't even find out about the countless cultivation resources that Ji Chen had left for Lan Qingxue.
It can only be said that in the context of that time, there was no need for a reason to be evil, and weakness was the original sin.
Therefore, Ji Chen didn't blame him, he just extracted his soul, and after roasting it alternately with yang and cold for three hundred years, he sliced his soul and fed it to the ghosts.
β¦β¦
After listening to Ji Chen's narration, combined with her recovered memories, Lan Qingxue finally understood everything that had happened in the past four hundred years, and also understood Ji Chen's bitterness in hiding his identity.
"Senior brother!"
She threw herself into Ji Chen's arms and wrapped her hands around his waist.
"Huh?"
Before Ji Chen could speak, his mouth was blocked by two pieces of softness.
"Senior brother, go to your cave." Senior Sister Lan'er leaned into Ji Chen's ear and exhaled like Lan Dao.
In the past four hundred years, she has always thought that Ji Chen is dead, and the thing she regrets the most is that she didn't be brave and express her heart to her senior brother, let alone give her most precious thing to her senior brother.
Now, God has given her another chance, and she doesn't want to miss it again.
She has faded away from the shyness she once had, and now she understands better that what she likes must be grasped in time.
Ji Chen was slightly stunned, then hugged her soft and slender waist, nodded and said, "Okay." β
He did not go back to his cave mansion in Qingluan Peak, but directly took Lan Qingxue back to the dust realm and came to the cave mansion of the Holy Sect.
The queen bed made of top fairy life resin here is warm, soft and elastic.
β¦β¦
The clouds and rain stopped.
Lan Qingxue's face was a little flushed, full of charm, and she no longer regained her cold and majestic appearance on weekdays, like an iceberg melting into a river of spring water.
She snuggled up to Ji Chen's chest, telling about four hundred years of parting and lovesickness.
Ji Chen listened with a smile, just like the time more than 400 years ago, the two sat in the moonlight and told stories and chatted.
Suddenly, Lan Qingxue stood up slightly, raised her snow-white neck, looked directly into Ji Chen's eyes, and asked with a smile:
"I heard that you recognize a junior sister named Xiaorou, right?"
The smile on Ji Chen's face froze for a moment, paused, and said, "I suddenly remembered that the sword master's predecessors still have something to do with me, so I'll deal with it first." β
With that, the figure disappeared in an instant.
β¦β¦
The former site of the former Holy Land Alliance.
The former main peak of the Purple Dao Immortal Sect has become a ruin.
Because the rebuilt main peak of the Purple Dao Immortal Sect actually belonged to a part of the Dust Realm, Ji Chen took it back to the Dust Realm and rereleased the ruins sealed under the Broken Immortal Cliff.
At this time, there was no one from the Holy Sect in the entire Holy Land Alliance, and all the disciples and elders were sent back to the Holy Sect of the Dust Realm by Ji Chen.
On the top of the original Qingluan Peak, only Ji Chen and the sword master sat opposite each other and drank tea.
"Sword Master senior, what the hell is the matter with me?" Ji Chen asked.
The sword master pondered for a moment and said, "After the three realms are united, the will of the world has awakened. β
"That's a good thing." Ji Chen said, "When does the senior plan to receive the blessing of the complete world power and become the realm master?" β
The Sword Lord shook his head: "I don't plan to become a Realm Lord. β
"Why is that?"
"Actually, I and my previous sons of luck, although they have the strength of the quasi-realm master-level, but there is still an essential difference between us and the quasi-realm lords like the primeval and early Yuan, we did not refine the cultivation realm and become the masters of this world, but were selected by the will of the world and given a gift."
"It can be said that the blessings I have received from the power of the world are lent to me by the will of the world, not by me."
The Sword Master explained.
"What's the difference between this, anyway, now that the three realms are one, as long as the sword master predecessors are recognized by the will of the world, they can directly have the strength of the realm master." Ji Chendao.
The sword lord smiled bitterly: "I have accepted many gifts from the will of the world, but I have not completed the duties it has given me, it is all up to you to reunite the Three Realms, what qualifications and face do I have to become the master of this world!" If there is anyone in this world who is the most suitable, it is you. β
"Me?" Ji Chen shook his head, "I have become the realm lord and have my own world, and it is useless to give me another world." β
The sword master said, "This is not only my idea, but also the meaning of the will of the world. β
"This ......" Ji Chen was slightly stunned, the will of the world wants to make him the realm master of the cultivation realm?
"Perhaps, you can talk to it, haven't you wondered why the will of the world knows that you are an outsider? Now that it's awakened, it should be able to give you an answer. β
Ji Chen thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay." β
Even after becoming the realm master, Ji Chen still didn't understand the mystery of his crossing, and maybe he could get an answer here for the will of the world.
And after becoming the realm master, Ji Chen also discovered a strange thing, that is, the cultivation realm made him feel extremely cordial, and he could also move the rules at will here.
It stands to reason that the realm master can only control the rules at will in his own world, and will be restricted in other worlds.
Ji Chen blamed it on the fact that there was no real realm master in the cultivation realm, but he still felt a little strange.
The next moment, Ji Chen saw the sword master grabbing a handful of his chest, and a stone that looked ordinary appeared in his hand.
Ji Chen recognized this stone at a glance, it was the heart of the world!
"With the heart of the world, it is more convenient to communicate with the will of the world."
Ji Chen knew that this was indeed the case, so he stretched out his hand to take it, and in the next moment, his consciousness entered a special space.
He could perceive the existence of a very special and strange consciousness body, which seemed to be closer to the rules than to consciousness than to the consciousness of any living being.
Ji Chen couldn't have a direct conversation with it, but a thought was directly poured into his consciousness, passing on a lot of information to him.
Without the process of communicating with each other, Ji Chen understood a lot in an instant.
It turns out that the cultivation realm is not innate, it was artificially created, and then it grew step by step, growing into the world it is today.
It has had its own masters, and it has had the same upbringing as the Mortal Realm, but it has taken more time and gone through longer years.
Until it completely grew into a mature world, its owner also became the master of the world, invincible in the world, and finally had enough of the boring life, saying that it was going to go out to travel, and then left this world.
Once he went, he never came back, until one day, the will of the world sensed that the connection with him had been severed, and the cultivation realm had become a masterless world, and he understood that its owner was probably hanging.
Can a realm master-level powerhouse jump out of the world and travel to other places?
Moreover, the realm lord and the strong will also die?
Sure enough, no matter what realm it is, it can't stand up to death.
Ji Chen extracted the key part of the information transmitted by the World Will, but unfortunately, the World Will did not know what was outside the world.
It only knew that the entire cultivation realm was in chaos, and it didn't know what was in the depths of chaos.
Obviously, the previous master of the cultivation realm had gone to the chaos waves.
Soon, Ji Chen received all the information and discovered the most important part of it - the will of the world found its master's breath in him.
In other words, Ji Chen's crossing is very likely to be related to the dead master of the cultivation realm.
But that's about it.
Finally, the Will of the World expressed the hope that Ji Chen could become the new realm master of the cultivation realm.
Ji Chen thought for a moment and replied, "I'll think about it." β
Then, his consciousness withdrew from this space and returned to his body, he said goodbye to the sword master and returned to the mortal realm.
Sitting alone by the lake, he studied the reward given after the Heavenly Dao Treasure Chest was broken.
After Ji Chen killed Tai Gu and Yuan Chu, the winning streak treasure chest exploded, bursting out with rewards all over the ground, but Ji Chen didn't have time to take a closer look, and now he began to sort out these rewards.
If his crossing was really related to the dead master of the Xiuzhen Realm, then this treasure chest that had been with him since he crossed over must also be the handiwork of the other party, and Ji Chen felt that there might be some clues left in these rewards.
All kinds of rewards were sorted out by Ji Chen one by one, and for him now, these rewards are already dispensable.
Soon, he took all the rewards away, leaving only the last one, which was a drop of water, in which various images flashed.
Ji Chen waved lightly, and the drop of water fell into his hand and melted into his skin, and at the same time, a large section of memory flashed in Ji Chen's mind like a movie.
It was a person's experience for countless yearsβsome of them, some of the parts that involved personal privacy, were obviously not recorded.
However, by connecting these fragments, Ji Chen can also roughly infer the life experience of a legendary powerhouse.
This strong man is the dead master of the cultivation realm, named Shi Fei.
Seeing this name, Ji Chen felt a little familiar, but he could be sure that he didn't know anyone named Shi Fei.
Shi Fei grew up in a world similar to the cultivation realm, but there are more powerhouses in that world he is in, and it is said that there have been three realm master powerhouses!
As a result, a clear and definite way to become the master of the realm was left.
Becoming a realm master doesn't have to rob other worlds, there is another way to create the world yourself.
After Shi Fei became a top emperor, he embarked on this path, which was very difficult and took countless hours, but he had no other choice, the world he lived in was the main world, and it was impossible for him to compete with the world master.
The way to do this is to contemplate the countless paths to perfection and then use them to create the world yourself.
To create the world, at least the avenue of time and space must be understood, and secondly, the five avenues of the five elements are the foundation of creation, as well as the avenue of life and death, the avenue of yin and yang, the avenue of reincarnation, etc., etc., all of which must be understood thoroughly in order to create a prototype of the world.
After creating the prototype of the world, it will slowly grow until it matures, and the creator can naturally become the master of the world.
Ji Chen couldn't help but think of one person, the Cangchuan Immortal Emperor.
Cangchuan Immortal Emperor comprehended two avenues alone, namely the avenue of space and life, using these two avenues, he opened up an oasis in the void, which can actually be regarded as the foundation of a world prototype, of course, if you want to become a real world prototype, there is still a long way to go.
Shi Fei spent countless years creating the prototype of the Xiuzhen Realm, and spent countless years cultivating the Xiuzhen Realm to maturity, and finally became the realm master.
Later, as the will of the world said, Shi Fei was not satisfied with a boring life, left the cultivation realm, and stepped into chaos.
He traveled through the chaos, and after a long time, he finally discovered a new world, driven by curiosity, he entered this world and found that this world was also a world of cultivation.
What Shi Fei didn't expect was that his arrival angered the master of this world, another realm lord powerhouse, who had just entered the chaos and didn't know that rashly intruding into someone else's territory was a provocation.
He had a big battle with the realm lord, although he kept explaining, but the other party did not stop, he must kill him, he understood that the other party had a plan against him.
In the opponent's world, he was in a weak position, so he fled into the chaos and fought a big battle with the opponent.
In the end, Shi Fei narrowly won a move and killed the opponent, and he also tried to occupy the opponent's world.
As a result, Shi Fei became the master of the two worlds, and he felt that his strength, which had reached the peak after becoming the master of the realm, was advancing by leaps and bounds again.
It turns out that after becoming the realm master, the only way to improve his strength is to occupy another world.
Shi Fei finally understood why after he explained everything, others still killed him, probably plotting against his world.
However, after becoming the Lord of the Two Realms, Shi Fei also found that his soul was saturated and he was unable to connect with the third world, and the Lord of the World with the power of the Two Realms seemed to be the limit.
Later, he also proved this in the long years of travel, and since then, he has traveled to countless worlds, and has also made friends with many realm lords, but the strongest of them is the same two realm masters as him.
After realizing that he was really invincible, Shi Fei became more waves, and went to different worlds everywhere to play.
Until he entered the depths of chaos, a remote place, where he had not seen a world for a long time, and finally he discovered a world without an owner.
Most of the worlds in the chaos are dominated worlds, and the real ownerless worlds have long been discovered and occupied by other realm masters, Shi Fei couldn't help but sigh his good luck.
However, he was already the master of the two worlds, and he could not afford to occupy the third world, but he still entered this world and traveled a little.
Soon, he fell in love with the world.
He found that this world was very special, there used to be cultivators, but then the aura dried up and there was no one to cultivate, and the people of this world turned to tinkering with something called technology.
There are all kinds of entertainment here, and it is far more interesting than the boring cultivation realm.
There are mobile phones, computers, short videos, all kinds of games, all kinds of anime, all kinds of dramas, all kinds of ......
Shi Fei didn't want to leave at all!
There are so many things he is looking forward to, how can he be willing to go?
He didn't wait for the pirates to end, he didn't see the end of Ice and Fire, and he didn't wait for the release of Old Roll 6......
It's a pity that he can't become the master of this world, otherwise he would have to have a global time acceleration.
When Ji Chen saw this, he was overjoyed, this is not his hometown, where is it?
I found my hometown, and it seems that I have hope to go back!
Ji Chen was excited in his heart, and he also understood that he estimated that it was during this time that he had some kind of intersection with Shi Fei, which led to his crossing.
