Forty-nine: The Immortal Realm and the Other World
Although Xie Wuji hasn't figured out which space his original self came from, his concept of space is much clearer than before. In his mind, his original living space was a very competitive space, and there were far more creatures than the current space, as for how he entered this space and how he entered this body, it is unknown. He felt that his previous self had traveled to many spaces, and as long as he arrived in a new space, he could awaken some of his memories.
"We are in the mortal space, since we have been to the underworld, we have to go to the immortal space to feel it"
"Are we really divided into three realms, heaven, earth, and man?"
"There should be more than these three spaces, there are others outside these three spaces, and there are several space gates that the power that comes out of them is beyond the reach of people of our level, wasn't the original Yuan Shen of Master Zhizhen taken away by the otherworldly space. The three spaces I am talking about, heaven, earth, and man, can be said to be our own, but they are artificially divided, and then different rules are formulated. Therefore, as long as we have the ability to enter the space, we will not be harmed in these three spaces. The Immortal Space should be a good place to cultivate, and it is the most suitable for human cultivators. ”
"Is this what you have gained from this period of retreat? How do I feel about it, just look at the book of Journey to the West. ”
"All legends come from real life. Before you practiced the supernatural function, would you believe that there were people like you in the world? ”
"Yes, many things are so illusory, and now they are so real" Yang Xiaojun thought, since he has this ability, why not try to figure it out.
Yang Xiaojun entered the immortal space under the leadership of Xie Wuji, the door of the space here was obviously much heavier than the underworld, and with the ability of the two of them to think that they were at the peak, they could only barely open a small crack and squeeze into the immortal space before the crack closed. It's really a place where the aura is very strong, and there are almost no creatures, is this a paradise? They clearly remembered that they had paid attention to the door of this space before, and there had been moments when it was opened, and there were also human minds that were sucked into this space, or they would not have rashly chosen this place.
But the fact is that the two of them have searched here repeatedly for a long time and have not found any traces of creatures, so don't worry about these for now, since the aura is so strong, then enjoy the benefits here first. They casually found a place that they thought was good and began to cultivate, and it didn't take long to find that although the aura here was strong, after absorbing it to a certain extent, it no longer had any help for their abilities, and it seemed that they had to change places.
Continuing to expand the scope of this space, he searched for several days and finally saw the shadow of the creature, and when he walked over, he saw that it was an old man with kind eyebrows and a childish face. The old man was cultivating there with his eyes closed, and he seemed to feel the arrival of the two. Judging from the abilities he showed, this old man's abilities were far less than those of the two of them, that is, they were comparable to the intermediate cultivators on the earth's human beings. But how did a cultivator of this level enter this space, it was very curious, could it be a creature native to this space?
"May I ask you, sir, where is this place, and why are there so few creatures?"
"This is the fairy world, there are very few creatures in the world who are qualified to enter the fairy world, and this place is vast, so it seems empty."
"Then how did the old gentleman enter this space, why can't we feel the existence of the old gentleman's mana?"
"The old decay has just entered this space, and I don't have any mana yet, so you can't feel it."
"How did you get into this space without mana? I feel that this spatial door is very thick, and it is impossible to open it without a huge amount of mana. ”
"Hahaha, it seems that the two of you are the top people in the human ability world of the earth space, I was directly teleported here by the power of space after the body in that space stopped moving, that is, after the death that people often say. I don't know the specific reason, but the laws of space here tell me that I need to cultivate in this area, and when I cultivate to a certain level, I can enter another environment."
"Then why can't we feel the guidance or restriction of our actions by the laws of space?"
"You are space intruders, and you are not subject to the laws of space, so of course you will not be guided by your actions."
"The environment here is so good, why are there so few people?"
"Because the creatures that belong to this spatial inclusion standard are too rare, without the guidance of space gravity, no one can have such great ability to open the door of space. The ability of the two is estimated to have reached the level of the Ancient Immortals, so they can enter, but this is the lowest cultivation space, and the aura here does not have much effect on the two of them. ”
"So what should we do?"
"Go ahead and look for the right space," the old man said, pointing his finger upward.
I see, the two of them said goodbye to the old man and flew upward. Sure enough, after breaking through the shield above, he came to a place with another scene, the aura was much richer than the lower space, and the creatures here were even rarer. After looking for a long time, I only met an old cow, but the old cow was busy with cultivation, and it seemed that he was at a critical juncture of retreat and breakthrough, so it was inconvenient to bother. The atmosphere of this space is so peaceful that people can't linger, but they have their own mission, they can't be greedy for personal enjoyment, and after practicing here for a few days, they also encountered the first event, and their mana can't increase in any way.
So it flew upwards again, and there was also a shield, and the strength of the shield was slightly increased compared to the last time. After eight ascensions, the power of the last shield kept them unable to break through, and there were almost no creatures in this level, not even traces of their activity. It is said that since this space has such a complete space law, there should also be an efficient management team, why is it so free. There was no fighting, no competition, no vicious war for resources in this ninefold space, at least they didn't find any traces of it.
The creatures that can occasionally be encountered are either avoiding them from afar or concentrating on cultivation, is it just cultivating for the sake of cultivation, so what is the purpose of cultivation, and where is the final end of cultivation? The two of them enjoyed the strongest aura in this uppermost space, and quickly improved their abilities until they were really unable to absorb them. The two of them worked together to break the spatial barrier, but after countless attempts, they still failed to get what they wanted, and it seemed that they could only find other spatial doors. And they searched for many days. I never met a person who could answer my questions, and I couldn't find the door of space, so I had to go back the way I came.
When returning to the fourth layer of space, Yang Xiaojun actually saw the figure of the big bear. But Big Bear doesn't seem to know him in his consciousness, could it be that he is wrong, this is impossible, how can he recognize the wrong person with his current ability. So he woke up the big bear in his cultivation, but the big bear really didn't know him.
"Xiong Trillion, do you know how you came to this space?"
"Is this my name, I don't even know what my name is, and I don't know you. All I know is that after I was killed by a group of gangsters, I was sucked into this space by a huge suction. The rules of space tell me that we need to cultivate layer by layer, each of us has a fixed area of activity, and no one will intrude on other people's territory as casually as you do. ”
"You really don't remember before you came to this space? I'm Yang Xiaojun, and I used to be your best friend."
"What is a friend, who is Yang Xiaojun, I don't know, I just hope you don't bother me anymore, I need to cultivate, I need to break through, please leave my territory."
"Then what is the ultimate goal of your cultivation?"
"The rules of space tell us that our purpose is to go to the next level, and nothing else is known"
"What is the point of cultivation, and what can you do if you go up to the top?"
"I don't know this, what is the meaning of cultivation is cultivation?"
At first, he wondered if there would really be a manager like the Jade Emperor who was ruling the immortal space, but it didn't seem like there was any, the people here seemed to have been programmed, and they only needed to upgrade other their own arrangements, and how to arrange it depended on how the game setter made the rules.
Before he met the big bear, Yang Xiaojun felt that this was heaven on earth, with no pain, no fighting, and no troubles. But after meeting the big bear, he knew that people have no pain and no feelings, so they lose the meaning of existence, and it seems that this so-called fairy space is not a paradise on earth.
When they came out of the immortal space, the two of them felt that the door of space was no longer heavy, and after coming out, they actually felt a sense of relief. The underworld is full of pain and evil, and the fairy space seems to be calm and peaceful, but it is actually a chaotic world without any emotion. Is this the ultimate destiny of mankind? Xie Wuji gave him an affirmative answer to this question, no.
"These two spaces are small spaces that are directly related to the three-dimensional space where they are now, and they do not belong to the real sense of the word. The space where the Ziyang True True Origin God was captured, and the space where Nuwa and Shakyamuni disappeared was the space in the true sense. The underworld, the immortal space, and the creatures of our space are controlled by one or more space creatures. Xie Wuji said
"How can the doors of other spaces be opened, and our current abilities can't enter other spaces?" Yang Xiaojun asked.
"It didn't work before, but now you feel it again, do you have another feeling?" Xie Wuji said with a smile.
"Sure enough, it's a little different, is this the harvest in the immortal space?" Yang Xiaojun worked hard, and he did feel very different from before, but now he didn't have the opportunity to show it, and he had a feeling that he could break through the shackles like Nuwa and them and enter any space they wanted to enter.
"In this way, it seems that the fairy space still grows vegetables for other spaces." Xie Wuji said with a sad face
"Growing vegetables? What do you mean" Yang Xiaojun was excitedly feeling the change in his ability and asked puzzled.
"There is nothing to do in the Immortal Space except for cultivation, and I speculate that the end point of the Immortal Space is to enter another dimension, because we are not absorbed by the Immortal Space, so the rules of the space there cannot restrain us. But the rule here is that after you cultivate to a certain level, you will no longer gain anything, and if you want to improve, you can only enter another dimension. Or whether you want to go or not, the rules of the space will send you directly to another dimension, which should be a place to harvest the fruits. Xie Wuji looked into the distance with deep eyes and said, as if he wanted to see through all the mysteries.
"Is our ultimate destiny to be slaughtered? I'm not reconciled, I'm going to fight. Yang Xiaojun was a little angry.
"Of course, I am not reconciled. Let's go, now let's go and test my idea" Xie Wuji seemed to have made up his mind.
"Where to go?"
"The door of the space where Master Zhizhen disappeared, I feel that there are still people there who have been guarding the door, waiting for our side to appear after the catastrophe." Xie Wuji said as he flew into the spatial junction zone, which was now full of wandering thoughts. With a wave of his hand, Yang Xiaojun opened the doors of both the underworld and the immortal space, and these human minds that had lost their bodies quickly poured into the two spaces, and after a while, it became much quieter.
"You're getting naughty now, too, and you don't care that space they belong to." Xie Wuji said with a smile.
"Why do you want to follow the rules they set, I want to break these broken rules," Yang Xiaojun said as if angry.
The two of them came to the door of that space, disguised the powerful Genshin as a baby, and kept wandering around, they wanted to lure the creatures of that space to take the initiative to open the door of space. Before they know the situation, they don't want to show themselves as too strong, for fear of inviting a strong opponent for themselves.
Sure enough, something strange began to move on the other side of the alternate space, and they felt two different breaths, knowing that this was here to capture them. The two pretended to flee, but the door of space suddenly opened, and two large hands stretched out from the door to grab the two of them in their hands. The two were taken to another dimension, and the door to the space closed.
"Haha, food has finally been delivered here, this space is really scarce," a leopard-like creature said excitedly with Yang Xiaojun in his hand.
"Be content, at least you didn't wait in vain today," said the creature holding Xie Wuji. As he spoke, he opened his mouth and was about to send Xie Wuji into his mouth.
At this time, Xie Wuji and Yang Xiaojun suddenly burst out with huge energy, and the powerful divine sense coercion directly pressed the two animal cultivators to the ground and couldn't move.
"The immortal spares his life, the small one has eyes and does not know Mount Tai, I don't know that the immortal is coming and will miss the welcome, and I hope to forgive the sin" The leopard and the lion begged for mercy at the same time.
"What kind of space is this, and how did you get to this space?"
"I don't understand what the Upper Immortal means by space, the two of us have been here since we were born"
"Oh, so you're all native creatures here, so tell us about the situation in this space, and if we can satisfy both of us, maybe we'll be merciful and let you go."
So in the conversation with the lion and leopard, the two roughly understood the basic situation of this space. Although the two animals themselves are also at the bottom of this space, since their race was once one of the powerhouses of this space, their understanding of this space is still very detailed. It's just that Yang Xiaojun's cognition can't change in time, and his understanding of many things needs to be strengthened. They don't want to rely entirely on other people's narratives for things that are too detailed, and they need the two of them to continue to explore and use their own personal experience to understand the laws of this space.
