Volume 23, Chapter 8 [Cromo and the Taoist]
Master Cromo pointed to the two bronze carriages and said, "Wang Rui, I used almost all of my treasures in this car, as well as those things you gave me from the dragon mound, which can be said to have condensed my life's work."
Wang Rui nodded, arched his hand and asked, "Master, the earliest request you mentioned earlier, could it be related to the thing in front of you?"
"Yes, this thing can go to the Nine Nether Realms." As soon as these words came out, almost everyone was shocked, but Wang Rui was okay, only slightly surprised, after all, this car has a more amazing side, it can travel through time and space, if it is said, I am afraid that no one will believe it, but I don't know if Master Cromo himself understands.
However, it is indeed extremely rare to be able to go to the treasures of the Nine Nether Realms, at least Wang Rui has not heard of it being able to do it with just one treasure.
At this time, as a person from the Wanbao Pavilion, Taiqing's identity has become the master of the Dongxuan Continent at this time, and it is equivalent to dominating the Wanbao Pavilion of the other three continents, as far as she knows, it is extremely difficult to go to the Nine Nether Realm, Wang Rui and the others are listening attentively.
The Nine Netherworlds are extremely mysterious, and at the same time extremely terrifying, which seems to correspond to the fairy world, but no one knows where it is. It is also extremely vague in some records, but generally there are two ways to go to the Nine Nether Realm.
First, if you cultivate into a ghost immortal, you can feel the power of the Nine Nether Realms, and you can open the entrance by relying on induction, and you can enter, which is the most direct. However, the way of ghosts and immortals is even more difficult than taking off and ascending to the immortal realm.
In cultivation, not only must you be ruthless and despairing, but you must also go through nine deaths and a lifetime, and you must go through thousands of eons before you have the opportunity to become a ghost immortal.
And after attaining the Tao, you can basically only stay in the Nine Nether Realm, and the human world and the immortal world have no chance with you from now on, so the people who choose to cultivate the way of ghosts and immortals are almost one in ten thousand.
The second is the way to kill gods, also known as the way of Shura. Although this path is much less difficult than the former, it is too heavy to kill, and it needs to constantly absorb the blood and evil qi, which belongs to the most dangerous one in the demon path, and is even more dangerous than the path of the sword immortal.
The way of the sword immortal is to enter the sword with the body, enter the heart with the sword, and finally unite the body and the sword, which is infinitely powerful, but it is also easy to break because it is too sharp, too rigid and easy to break. Sword immortals are rarely able to enjoy full lifespan, and the later they go, the more dangerous the test is, and the fate of the catastrophe hangs by a thread.
One of Wang Rui's lovers, Li Xiyue is one of the sword immortals, and now he is in the late stage of the Distraction Realm, and every step forward is extremely difficult and dangerous. Wang Rui even persuaded her to give up the way of the sword immortal and change to the way of the five elements or the way of wind and thunder. However, he was naturally categorically refused, so he had to do his best to provide some support for Li Xiyue, and in the future, he would do his best to help her when she crossed the catastrophe, otherwise it would be difficult to get through.
The way of Shura is to rely on killing, and the kung fu of cultivation is to transform evil qi into bloody spiritual power, and every time you are promoted to a realm, the more you need to kill the number of creatures that need to be killed, so once this kind of demon cultivation appears, it will be hunted down by both good and evil, and it is rare to survive the Yuan Infant.
Only after breaking through to the god can the Shura Demon Cultivator sense the summons of the Nine Nether Realm, and then he must also create a killing feast, with this sacrificial ceremony, open the entrance to the Nine Nether Realm, and similarly, it is almost impossible to come back after going.
In the end, according to Taiqing, even if the entrance to the Nine Nether Realm is found, after entering, it will be very difficult to come out again, at least I haven't heard of that monk going and coming back, the immortals may be able to, but they may not be able to do it.
Finally, everyone understood the importance of the two carriage treasures in front of them, which can almost be said to be unique.
"This treasure is already at the Holy Treasure level in terms of grade." Saying such a thing as a person in Taiqing's capacity at this moment almost made the bronze horse body in front of him reach a sky-high price, and if he was willing to auction it, it would definitely cause a bloody storm.
However, Master Cromo naturally did not take it out for auction, and for him, it seemed that there were other unknown purposes.
He didn't hide this, but he refused to say it in front of people, and was only willing to tell Wang Rui alone. In this regard, although everyone wants to know, they are helpless.
Wang Rui simply asked Land Rover, Hana and others to build a simple camp in the same place, so that Master Cromo and Vanessa could rest first, after all, they also came across the continent.
Among the people who visited him on this trip, Xue Lun, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect of Xiwu Continent, did not come, and through the Taiqing, Wang Rui learned that Xiwu Continent was very difficult at the moment.
After the last time the Sea Clan army burned and plundered, the land of Xiwu Continent was full of corpses, hundreds of thousands of monks were killed, and a large area of resources was looted, which can be restored for other continents, but it is difficult for Xiwu Continent.
As a result, Sharon was so busy at the moment that he didn't have time to come at all, but he also sent Master Cromo, who had a good relationship, as the representative of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, hoping to get the support of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, the Heavenly Dao Alliance, and the Source Heavenly Sect.
Nanyue Continent is also being repaired, but the female emperor Siqi is also lacking in skills, so she sent envoys with the other three major dynasties, they did not come purely for help, but brought Nanyuezhou's special fire spar to hope for trade, and went through Ha Na, using her as the spokesperson of Nanyue Continent, Wang Rui will not refuse after discussing with Land Rover, Ling Huxiao and others, after all, it is also profitable.
The immortal gate of the Northern Underworld came here, but it was a little different.
Sword Sect Xian Fenghai is to form an alliance with the Source Heavenly Sect, after forming an alliance with the Heavenly Dao Alliance a few years ago, he has benefited a lot and has become the strongest force in the Northern Underworld, but later, as the Ice Xuan Palace took the initiative to form an alliance with the Demon Sect and the Great Wilderness Sect, the combination of the three major forces still made the Sword Sect feel the pressure, so this time he hoped to catch the line of the Source Heavenly Sect.
Helian Xue, Obertan, Anatar and Green Pothos and others also held this purpose, and also hoped to form an alliance with the Source Heaven Sect, and also hoped to convince Wang Rui that the Sword Sect's blind strength was not in the interests of the other immortal sects in the Northern Underworld, and would also pose a huge threat to the three major forces that had already formed an alliance.
Wang Rui has an extremely close relationship with the Demon Sect and the Great Wilderness Sect, although he had a disagreement with Helian Xue, but later the two of them were also considered to have released their previous suspicions, plus after all, there were still some entanglements in their previous lives, and the super-large teleportation array was also in the Ice Xuan Palace, so after some discussion, Wang Rui still agreed to the formal alliance between the Yuan Tianzong and the three major forces.
However, in order to appease Xian Fenghai, Wang Rui suggested that Ling Huxiao could strengthen the alliance with the Sword Sect on behalf of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, after all, the current strength of the Source Heavenly Sect is not as good as the Heavenly Dao Alliance, if the Sword Sect can get further cooperation from the Heavenly Dao Alliance, it will definitely be of great benefit, which makes Xian Fenghai have an unexpected joy.
At this time, Wang Rui no longer dealt with these mundane matters, but let Ha Na, Land Rover and others be responsible, he just put forward some insights, which can also benefit everyone a lot. However, this is also due to his current identity and status, plus he has traveled to these continents, and he has a certain relationship with these sect forces, so he can get his wish, if it is another person, even if it is Ling Huxiao, it will still not be able to satisfy all forces. Read the book
After Ling Huxiao talked with Wang Rui for a long time, he also understood what he meant, although the Heavenly Dao Alliance and the Source Heavenly Sect developed independently of each other, after all, they had a deep origin, and by forming alliances with different forces, they could also balance the other three continents, so as to further enhance their respective strengths and continue to grow, while also retaining their competition with each other.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is their biggest enemy, and in the future, the Heavenly Dao Alliance will inevitably join forces with the Source Heaven Sect to attack the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, and isolating them as much as possible is the best result. However, at the moment, the strength of the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance is still very large, and it has a lot to do with the newly unified Heaven Swallowing Dynasty in the Sea Clan, and three huge forces have reappeared, and they are not limited to Dongxuanzhou, but the entire Qinglan Realm, and in the future, I am afraid that the battle will completely change the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm.
Wang Rui saw that all the forces were satisfied, and then he withdrew, and he would not participate in the specific details, but came to Master Cromo on the side of the tent.
Vanessa's servant made a cup of unique spiritual tea for each of them and left, although this tea will be difficult to swallow at first, but after swallowing, it has a refreshing and sweet effect, which is quite magical.
Moreover, Wang Rui found that after drinking this tea, the spiritual power in his body seemed to have been refined and became more refined, and it seemed to remove the impurities in it, which was comparable to some of the best elixirs.
"Master, I don't know what kind of tea this tea is, it's quite magical?" Wang Rui asked curiously.
Master Cromo put down the cup with a smile and said, "This tea is called Quenching Body Tea, it has the effect of washing the marrow and purifying the spiritual veins, it is a specialty of my hometown, I brought some before I came here, and then tried to plant it in Xiwu Zhou, but in the end less than three percent survived, it was harvested once in ten years, the quantity is very small, it is quite precious, even if the Mahayana monks drink it, it has a miraculous effect, and I never entertain ordinary people with this tea."
"I see, since it's so precious, it's not good to ask the master for it." Wang Rui said with some regret, but gentlemen don't take away the beauty of people.
Unexpectedly, Master Cromo took out a small jar from his bosom, brass-colored, about the length of a tail finger.
"If you like it, there is a little tea seed in it, and I will give it to you, although I have not planted it in Dongxuanzhou, but I see that the aura here is extremely abundant, and it is much better than Xiwu Continent, maybe I can really get a piece of the world here." Master Cromo looked at the jar of tea seeds with both relief and sentimentality, and Wang Rui guessed that maybe this quenching tea might be related to someone.
Wang Rui solemnly took it, determined to try it in Youlan Valley and Yuantian Sect now, since it can be effective for monks at all stages, it may be able to greatly improve the growth speed of Yuantian Sect's disciples.
"Master, back then, you refused to let me fulfill my promise to repay you, saying that I would wait until one day when I needed it, so is it appropriate now?" Wang Rui put away the quenching tea and asked solemnly.
Master Cromo nodded and replied, "Yes, I came to you this time, on the one hand, I was entrusted by Sect Master Sharon, and my maid had already told me about this matter just now, and you really didn't disappoint us. On the other hand, it was precisely in order to fulfill the promise of the year, which I was a little difficult to talk about, but now it is an opportunity, and I can only say that God will make people."
"Master, you might as well say it bluntly, what kind of request is it? I'd like to listen to you......" Wang Rui adjusted his posture and straightened his back.
Cromo was very satisfied with his attitude, and coughed, and then he told the truth of the matter.
The Qinglan Realm is not only the people of the Qinglan Realm, but also people from other earthly worlds, such as the Roland Realm, which is a rather distant world, but an accident, or an unknown mysterious force, at some point, opened up the connection of multiple worlds, causing chaos in these connected worlds, and some monks took this opportunity to escape to other worlds.
Cromo and his lover Luna are a pair of fellow disciples from the Roland realm, he is a junior brother, Luna is a senior sister, and the sect they belong to is a top sect that is good at refining various weapons and magic weapons.
Both are gifted, but Cromo is slightly inferior to Luna, and the former has a secret affection for the latter, but has always been ashamed to confess.
Until one day, Luna came to him in a panic and told Cromo that she was secretly refining a holy treasure, but the materials were insufficient, so she stole some rare materials in the sect's secret vault.
Cromo actually had a bright future at that time, and he could have run away without following Luna, but he swore desperately to run away with Luna.
It is also because of this that Luna was moved by Cromo and accepted his love, and the two became Taoist couples in private, and since then they have fled for nearly a hundred years, and they have lived a very difficult life, because the power of the sect where they are located is very strong, and the sect that dared to take them in has also been slaughtered one after another, so no one dares to take them in anymore.
Subsequently, they learned about the disorder of time and space by chance, so they went through nine deaths and a lifetime, broke in, and came to Xiwu Continent in the Qinglan Realm.
The two spent the next few years happily and happily, but soon something new happened.
Luna's body is weakened by an unknown force in the time-traveling disorder, and Cromo is running around and doing everything he can to no avail.
Eventually, his companion Luna passed away suddenly, leaving only a half-finished holy treasure, which is now the finished bronze carriage, called "Backlight Car", which is said to be able to travel through time and space as long as it is inlaid with time and space gems, and Cromo does not know if it is Luna's fantasy or if it is true.
Originally, Cromo thought that Luna would be separated from him forever and would never be able to meet again, but he didn't expect that he met a demon cultivator from the Nine Nether Realm by chance, and this demon cultivator swore that he had seen Luna in the Nine Nether City of the Nine Nether Realm, and also told her appearance and characteristics, which made Cromo unable to believe it.
This demon cultivator later died tragically at the hands of the monks of both good and evil, and Cromo was also implicated because of this, but fortunately, Ulysses, the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect at that time, who was also Sharon's father, guaranteed him with all his might.
Since then, Cromo has been bent on building the Time Wheel and then going to the Nine Netherworlds.
Although he couldn't find the Time Gem and couldn't travel through time and space to find Luna, he found the Necromantic Gem through the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and had the power to open the entrance to the Nine Nether Realm, but it seemed difficult to come back, after all, it seemed that no monk from the Human Realm had returned from the Nine Nether Realm, so he had been hesitant and couldn't make up his mind.
After hearing all this, Wang Rui couldn't help but sigh, who would have thought that this magic craftsman Cromo actually had such a poignant past behind him, but if it were him, he would naturally spare no effort to try.
"It wasn't until I met you and Sharon told me what happened to you that I realized that people like you and me are not alone in this world, and there are people like the same path, so I finally strengthened this belief, but I only want to put this belief on you." Cromo looked at Wang Rui resolutely.
"Thank you, Master Cromo, may I think about it for a few days before I get back to you? In addition, apart from you and me, there are a maximum of how many people can go to these nine netherworlds, is there any limit?" Wang Rui thought about it, but decided to ask in detail.
Cromo quickly replied: "In addition to me, you can only bring one more person, that is, the two of us, this is the maximum limit of the backlight car, more than the number of people, it is likely to happen unimaginable disasters, you have probably experienced some time and space disorder, but Luna and I have experienced far more terrible than yours, it is a bottomless abyss, it seems that you are always falling, even if you want to die, you may not be able to do it, so I will not change anyone except you."
"I see, please wait for my news." Wang Rui stood up and decided to think about it, he naturally wanted to save Shenxue, it seemed that he had no choice, but he still couldn't make a decision in an instant, after all, he was no longer alone, but there was a large group of people behind him and around him, and his existence may be far more important than he imagined.
Cromo nodded and said, "Wang Rui, I won't force you, this is also my last wish in my life, as long as we can find your disciple and my Taoist companion this time, and come back alive and safely, if you ask for anything in the future, Luna and I will do our best to do it until we die!"
Wang Rui's figure was shocked, then he nodded and walked out.
The promise just now is not heavy, it is equivalent to repaying Wang Rui at the expense of himself and his fellow Daoists, if he can get the two divine craftsmen to join, the Yuantian Sect may far exceed the sect in a million years, but at that time, will he really become the ancestor of his own sect? Although he is no longer in the distant future, when he thinks of this, Wang Rui will have an impulse that he can't help himself.
He saw Thunder Zi, and also saw the tortured and dying Chu Xiang, at this time this person has basically lost his effect, when Wang Rui said that he had a way to go to the Nine Nether Realm, Chu Xiang didn't want to believe it at all, and then he became like a walking dead like crazy.
