Chapter 875: Immortality

"Does immortality really exist?"

The old man in white was shocked.

He is the great talent of the previous dynasty Zhao Lingyun, when he was young, he was famous for his talents, first he entered the court as an official, and then he lamented the corruption of the officials, and felt that the general trend of the world was not something like him could return to the sky, so he worshiped the Baiyun Temple, left the world to practice, and cultivated his body without doing anything, and became the current Lingyun Sanren.

He has no intention of winning, and he does not deliberately cultivate, but even if he is so indifferent, he is also one of the cultivators who rarely stepped into the Miao Zhen Realm after the Three Sages of Nantian back then, which shows his amazing talent that was the best in the world back then.

He once presided over the compilation and revision of a collection of books, and his knowledge is probably one of the few in the world.

However, the more he read the texts, the more he understood that immortality was just a beautiful vision of a practitioner, something that existed in pursuit and imagination.

He felt that Wu Guzhi would not deceive him, but he couldn't believe it.

"It's not immortality, the book sealed by our Bright Holy Sect is called the Immortal Sutra, although it is called immortality, it is not the immortal immortality that our cultivators are pursuing. This exercise can also be called the Sutra of the Living Dead. Wu Guzhi looked at him and shook his head and said.

"The Living Dead....Could it be that a practitioner who practices this exercise will become the kind of living dead who is physically dead but can still walk?"

"Evil stars descend from the sky, the long tail is like a broom, falling in Yongjia, there is Tai Sui in the ice, there are brave people who eat it, they all live for two lives, but after the end of their lives, they all become living corpses, and the knife and axe are not dead, and only the fire can solve the misfortune of the bones and ashes. Wu Guzhi looked at him and didn't respond directly, just chanted a text.

"This is the record in the Hearsay, which was left by the first scholar who traveled on some fishing boats, and the record is all anecdotes, but even the author cannot be examined, and many of these stories may seem to later generations to be a patchwork of hearsay. Lingyun Sanren smiled bitterly, he knew the source of this record, but back then, he only read this kind of Zhiwei notes as a storybook pastime.

"The original Immortal Sutra came from this extracelestial meteorite. At that time, there were hundreds of ice crystals larger than ox carts, which broke into an area of tens of miles, and there was a foreign matter in the ice core that was similar to the Tai Sui that the folk said, like meat but not meat, and could grow in water. At that time, a total of seven people in the Yongjia area were bold enough to cut up the lump and eat it. As a result, the lowest of them lived more than 120 years old, the most lived more than 160 years old, and the local longest-lived people in the past were only more than 80 years old, so they were called alive for two lifetimes at that time, but their heartbeat and breath were cut off, and when the descendants of the family gathered them into the burial, they became living corpses, unconscious, but their strength was much greater than that of ordinary people. The living dead fed on fresh flesh and blood, which naturally caused panic among the locals, who besieged them, but some of the seven were rotten in their intestines, and some of them were able to walk with their heads broken, and in the end, six of the seven were crushed and burned to ashes. But one of them was brought back by the Heavenly Mandate Sect, and after several years, the Heavenly Mandate Sect found that the wood-based Lingzhi could perfectly absorb and fuse the strange vitality in the human body, so the Heavenly Mandate Sect used a giant wood Lingzhi as the raw material to carve a wooden box to absorb and preserve the strange vitality in the body of the living dead. They tested this strange vitality with cultivators, and found that with the help of this strange vitality, they had the power to eat death. With the help of this strange vitality, one can perceive the aura that escapes from the dead cultivators, and absorb it for one's own use. The Mandate of Heaven Sect called the wooden box the Mandate of Heaven blood box, and used it to grow rapidly, and even established the Mandate of Heaven Dynasty in the Liangjiang area, the Mandate of Heaven Dynasty collapsed decades later, and the Mandate of Heaven blood box and secrets were obtained by Li Guzhi, a Taoist from Zhongnan Mountain, he found that with the help of this strange vitality cultivation, the higher the cultivation, the more his own flesh and blood will be inexplicably replaced, not only the body gradually becomes a living dead, but also with the erosion and change of the body, the consciousness of the whole person will no longer be complete, in short, the brain will be damaged. But he was curious if he could reverse this damage, so he spent his whole life figuring it out, leaving behind a complete exercise, the Immortal Sutra. ”

Wu Guzhi's complexion did not change in the slightest, she just calmly recounted the ins and outs, "This immortal scripture has been circulated in Zhongnan Mountain for a hundred years, there are several people who practice, one of the cultivators surnamed Wang has cultivated to the realm of divine confusion, he has made many changes to the exercises, but he still can't get rid of this last bad luck, he finally beheaded himself, causing his disciples to turn themselves into ashes. But the practitioner's contribution is that he can ensure that when his body is completely transformed into the living dead, he will be able to maintain his consciousness as if he were driving a foreign object, driving his body that is already a living dead. Later, this exercise was obtained by the Bright Holy Sect, the four patriarchs of the Bright Holy Sect, who were originally the strongest cultivators of that era, and they founded the Bright Holy Sect only to prevent the cultivators from having the power to surpass ordinary people, so they no longer follow the ethics and morals of the world, and kill and indulge their desires to their heart's content. The Bright Holy Sect didn't want to seal this exercise at first, but it took several generations, and the final result was that this kind of exercise made the cultivator evolve like another kind of life, but just like a person can't turn into a cow or a sheep, or a bird or an insect, this Heavenly Dao in the dark can't be violated. ”

"Then why not just destroy it?"

Of course, the Lingyun Sanren knew what kind of people those top cultivators of the Bright Holy Sect were back then, and he couldn't understand the decision of the Bright Holy Sect.

"This kind of thing was originally a great temptation for cultivators, and its existence was an eternal test of will for the true descendants of the Bright Holy Sect. Even if it is erased, there will always be something more tempting in the world. We, the Bright Holy Sect, are not afraid of this kind of monster, we are only afraid of our own fall. ”

Wu Guzhi shook her head, and she continued lightly: "Most of the ancestors of my Bright Holy Sect did not regard being invincible over all living beings as the end of their cultivation, and they did not lie in this so-called dynastic hegemony, they believed that the meaning of cultivation lay in the exploration of the unknown world. Since there is something beyond the heavens, what is outside the heavens? This heaven and earth is not the end of the world. They have always believed that the greatest threat to all of us practitioners is not in our own human world, but in these unknown worlds outside the world. So this kind of thing, in their opinion, even if it is a sample for posterity, should not be destroyed, but should be sealed. There are some things that our current practitioners cannot understand, but the people of tomorrow may not be able to interpret the deepest source of them. ”

The Spirit Luck Scatterer was silent for a moment.

He took a sip of his wine.

For some reason, he was not only amazed by the courage of those people in the Bright Holy Sect, but also realized it in his heart.

"It's just that why do you want to help the Demon Sect?"

He looked at Wu Guzhi, his mood calmed down, and said, "He devoured such a sage, and no one in the world can be stronger than him." ”

"Although my master had already chosen me as the future Sect Master of the Bright Holy Sect, he always felt that his achievements were much higher than mine in terms of cultivation, and he always had great expectations for him. ”

Wu Gu said, "It's just that he has never been able to understand the truth that the master wants him to understand, if he doesn't understand it in the end, it doesn't matter, my appearance is to destroy his immortality, or to make his evolution go faster, so that he can change towards the final change, if he still doesn't understand by then, then he will die." ”
