Volume 1 The Road to the Sky Chapter 5 Nine Paths of Cultivation
At this time, Ji Cangzhen's face had some fascination, and he said leisurely: "Since then, the land of the desolate has become a forbidden place for all continents, and there is also a legend that the lord of the desolation has surpassed the realm of Qianzhen. ”
Zheng Dao asked again: "Since there is a Qianzhen realm, and there are legends beyond the Qianzhen realm, why are there only five masters in the world who have reached the Qianzhen realm now?"
Ji Cang Zhenren took another sip of tea, looked at the window with his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Qianzhen realm, in fact, there are not only five people who have reached the Qianzhen realm, but six. ”
Zheng Dao exclaimed, "Six?"
Ji Cang Zhenren said with some fascination: "Yes, it's six." But one of them has fallen, and he has been murdered. ”
Zheng Dao asked in confusion: "Isn't the Qianzhen realm already an invincible existence, how can it be murdered?"
Ji Cang Zhenren shook his head regretfully and continued: "For us, they are invincible existences, but for masters of their same realm, they are not invincible. If two masters of the Qianzhen realm are fighting against one, do you think he can still be invincible? Not to mention five against one.
These six characters in the Qianzhen realm are: Immortal Emperor Duan Ren, Divine Emperor Zhang Xu, Demon King Lu Sha, Demon King Wu Kun, and Ghost King Hai Ming. The other one is the former Human Emperor, that is, the first head of our Lingxiao Sect - Wu Ji's predecessor. ”
Zheng Dao was a little surprised and came to his senses: "The former human emperor? Could it be that the master of the Qianzhen realm who was murdered is the human emperor?"
Ji Cang Zhenren nodded sadly and indignantly, and said: "That's right, the one who was killed was the Human Emperor, and it was not only the Human Emperor who was killed, but also his apprentice, that is, my master, Wang Sheng, who had reached the Kunming realm, and Wang Ming, another master of the Kunming realm.
There are also five protectors of the Lingxiao Sect who have reached the Zhenyu realm, ten elders of the Xunfei realm, and the masters of the middle drop realm, in short, as long as they have reached the realm of Dudan, the Lingxiao Sect people have been killed.
At that time, not long after I was elected to the Lingxiao Sect, my master, Wang Shengzhen, saw that I was very talented, so he accepted me as a closed disciple.
All I knew was what Master told me, and Master was killed before he could teach me how many exercises to cultivate. Fortunately, although I did not reach the realm of Dudan, Master had already taught me some cultivation mantras from the Heavenly Book.
I practiced according to the mantra I had memorized, but without the guidance of the master, there were some places that I had not been able to comprehend thoroughly, coupled with the restrictions on our world, the qi of the Yuan Spirit became thinner and thinner, and it became more and more difficult to cultivate, and I still couldn't break through the barrier realm at such an old age, I already had a premonition that my time was running out, and I was too tired for so many years.
The rules of the Lingxiao Sect back then were very strict, and the heads of the sect were all in the same line, so I was the only one who knew these things, and the only one who knew the secrets of the Book of Heaven. Even if I later broke the rules to recruit disciples, I still couldn't teach an excellent disciple and break the limits of the realm. I don't know how to break through the barrier realm myself, and how can I teach others!"
Zheng Dao asked in confusion, "Who murdered our human emperor?"
Zheng Dao's question made Ji Cang Zhenren angry, Ji Cang Zhenren slapped his left hand on the table fiercely, and said hatefully: "The Human Emperor was killed by five other people from the Qianzhen realm. ”
Hearing this, Zheng Dao was even more confused, and asked eagerly, "Why are they doing this?"
Ji Cang Zhenren said sadly: "That's a long story. ”
Zheng Dao couldn't wait to say, "Could it be that they want to seize our Heavenly Book and improve their realm?"
Ji Cang Zhenren shook his head in a depressed mood and continued: "Each continent has its own Heavenly Book, and the Heavenly Book was issued by the Heavenly Dao in order to maintain the balance between heaven and earth. In the six continents, each of the three emperors and three kings guards a book of heaven, which is different.
Because of the difference in their own physique and environment, the people of each continent are only suitable for cultivating the Heavenly Book of their own continent, and even if the Heavenly Book of other continents is given to you, it is useless, not only is it not suitable for your cultivation, but if you forcibly cultivate, it may also cause damage to your own body.
Heavenly Dao is also afraid that they will compete with each other, if every Heavenly Book can be cultivated, then the more Heavenly Books you get, the more exercises you will learn, and the deeper your cultivation will be, and you can become an invincible existence in this continent, and you will lose your balance. They didn't kill the Human Emperor because of the Book of Heaven, because the Book of Heaven is still with me. ”
Zheng Dao asked puzzledly: "It's not because of the Book of Heaven, then what else can it be?"
Ji Cang Zhenren continued: "Listen to me tell you slowly. There are seven different creatures living in this world: immortals, gods, demons, demons, ghosts, humans, and beasts. Immortals pursue the highest realm of the Tao, as long as they start the path of cultivating the truth, they need to eliminate all distracting thoughts and cultivate their self-cultivation, they prohibit all desires, and they have feelings to suppress, and they will not get married and have children;
God is similar, cultivation must be desireless and desireless, and all desires are forbidden, so there will be no male and female love, and there will be no reproduction. Not only do the immortals and gods have no offspring, but they will also fight with each other in order to get more human incense, and it is inevitable that there will be deaths and injuries, so that their population will become smaller and smaller.
The demon is a very cunning creature, especially the demon who has embarked on the path of cultivation, they will not trust anyone, including their own kind, everyone has a ghost in their hearts to frame each other, and naturally there will be no feelings, and the possibility of the two demons combining to leave offspring is even smaller;
Demons are synonymous with killing, not only are they rarely combined, but they also kill each other, so the number of people in the demon cave is the fastest to decrease.
If a ghost begins to cultivate the truth, it must exist in the form of a soul, and if it cannot be combined, it will not have offspring;
Only we, the human race, are not only peace-loving, but also sincere, thriving on this continent of earth, and not only have not decreased in population, but have always been in a state of growth. The beasts are like us, and they multiply freely in the desolate land.
A long time ago, the entire continent was the same, and it was very suitable for cultivation, so there were fewer and fewer people in other continents, and we humans and beasts didn't have so many taboos and didn't have so many scheming, so the population only increased.
And the other continents have been very suitable for cultivation until now, so the more people they cultivate, the fewer ordinary people who can be combined, and the population will also decrease. ”
Zheng Dao said unevenly: "Could it be that they are jealous of us humans?"
Ji Cang Zhenren shook his head again and continued: "They are not jealous, but for the reproduction of their own race. There are three souls: the light of the womb, the spirit of refreshment, and the spirit of the ghost, and the seven spirits: the corpse dog, the arrow, the bird's yin, the thief swallower, the non-poisonous, the defilement, and the smelly lung.
After death, people must go through the reincarnation of heaven before they can be reincarnated as a human being, but not all souls can be reincarnated, only people with pure hearts in life will not suffer from hell and can be reincarnated smoothly.
Compared with immortals, gods, demons, ghosts, and demons, our human souls are the purest, so human beings will be endless. And the immortals, gods, demons and demons can't watch their race gradually disappear, so they unite to attack us humans.
The Three Kings and the Two Emperors jointly killed the Human Emperor, and we all saw it with our own eyes at that time, and the Human Emperor and the other five people started a great battle in the sky above the Jade Cutting Peak. The five of them came prepared, and it was a sneak attack, so we weren't prepared at all.
The strength of the Human Emperor was very strong at that time, and he was the most powerful of the five of them, but his two fists were invincible to his four hands, even if he tried hard, it was useless, and he couldn't escape the fate of being killed. The five of them besieged the human emperor together, playing like a cat and mouse.
The Emperor of People also knew that he couldn't fight a war of attrition with them, so he wanted to find the right target and break them all, but how could those five people not understand this truth, they had never been left alone, but they just made the Emperor tired, and then looked for a chance to sneak attack the Emperor of Man.
At that time, because I didn't have any cultivation, I couldn't see the situation of their battle clearly, but I could only vaguely see their shadows, and I could still feel the constantly surging sword qi and the power that shook the heavens and the earth. The six of them struck from the sky to the ground, and then rose from the ground into the air, and the figures flew over, and the deafening sound kept coming.
The brilliance of the sword qi of the human emperor is like a meteor crossing the sky, fleeting and dazzling, you should also see those deep ravines on the mountain peak wall when you climb the jade cutting peak, that is the imprint left by the sword qi of the human emperor during the great war. The human emperor is an unyielding character who would rather die, even if he knows that he is defeated by five people, he will never bow his head and admit defeat, even if he loses his life.
Of course, judging from the situation at that time, the five people would not let go of the human emperor, even if the human emperor was willing to admit defeat, it was useless, it could only be a desperate battle. The five of them fought with the Human Emperor for two hours, although the Human Emperor's body was incomplete, and his white robe was full of holes, all of which were stained red with blood, and there was not a trace of white to be seen.
But the five of them were also uncomfortable, and they were also a little scared when they saw the desperate human emperor, and the five of them also left the sword marks of the human emperor, but they were not fatal injuries, and they did not affect much combat effectiveness.
The five people saw that the human emperor was not easy to deal with, so they instructed those subordinates to start attacking the Lingxiao Sect, killing all the cultivators of the human race, they were all dispatched, all the powerful cultivators were listed, our Lingxiao Sect has limited personnel, which is equivalent to one enemy and five, how to fight such a battle, it can only be one-sided and passively beaten.
When the Emperor of the People saw Ling Xiaozong suffering, his heart was immediately in turmoil, and he couldn't do it if he wanted to rush down to save us, because the five people didn't give him a chance to get out, and they began to besiege the Emperor again.
The Human Emperor shouted urgently: "You five despicable villains, why do you do this? I am willing to die, you can spare these innocent people of Ling Xiao Sect." ”
One of the five people replied sympathetically: "Hmph, do you think we want to kill you, we are also acting according to orders, who made you disobedient." We are going to destroy the Lingxiao Sect, and from now on the human race will be our puppets. ”
The Human Emperor could only watch as our human cultivators were slaughtered one by one. At that time, the human emperor was already blood-red in his eyes and his teeth were about to crack, but what could he do? The more the human emperor was in chaos, the more beneficial it was to the five people, and at the last moment of the battle, the human emperor saw that the general trend had gone, and the sword stood in the air, and the five people stared at him with cold eyes.
The human emperor glanced at the five people coldly, and suddenly roared, as if a cloud of black gas was spit out of his mouth, and the five people were shocked when they saw the human emperor like this, I didn't know what was going on at the time, but I heard one of the five people shouting: "It's not good, he wants to sacrifice to the original god, stop him quickly." ”
Immediately afterwards, the five of them shot together to restrain the human emperor, and then the statue of the human emperor was killed by the five people, and the body was also burned to ashes by the five people. The last reliance of the Ling Xiao Sect was thus wiped out and the soul was scattered. Only this wordless book of heaven fell from those ashes.
That killing was simply miserable, as long as the human cultivators reached the realm of Dudan, they could not be spared, my master and several seniors of the Ling Xiao Sect desperately protected a few of our children under him, at that time, a few of us children were so scared, but those masters used their divine sense to sweep and know that we were ordinary people with no magic power, killing us was like pinching us to death ants, so they didn't attack us.
Before he died, my master injected a trace of memory into my body, so that I knew these secrets, but these memories were also incomplete, only some fragments of these past events, but there was no way to cultivate.
After the five of them slaughtered the Ling Xiao Sect, they united in our world to add a prohibition with mana, which would slowly dissipate the primordial spirit qi in our world. After these thousands of years, there is no longer any Yuan Spirit Qi in the human continent. The brothers who survived with me died one after another because they couldn't break through the realm of leaving the gods and had a limited lifespan.
Even if I continue to strengthen the cohesion, but I still can't prevent the Yuan Spirit Qi from dissipating, I'm afraid it won't be long before the Yuan Spirit Qi of the Jade Cutting Peak will be dissipated, and when the time comes, there will be no trace of the Yuan Spirit Qi in the world, and it will be even more difficult for us humans to cultivate.
Even if we were cultivating at the Jade Cutting Peak, we couldn't break through their prohibitions, and our cultivation could only reach the Kan Zhi realm at the highest level. Even though I have the Book of Heaven in my hand, I can't see all of them, and no matter what method I use, I can't understand them thoroughly, and I still can't break this limitation. Speaking of this, Ji Cang Zhenren lowered his head sadly.
Hearing this, Zheng Dao ignited his anger, gritted his teeth and said angrily: "It's really hateful!"
Ji Cang Zhenren relieved himself and continued: "They united to slaughter all the cultivators of our human race, and the five overlords reached an agreement, after the death of our human race, only the ghost spirit, the stinky lung, and the soul can be reincarnated as a human being, ensuring that our human race will not be wiped out;
The soul of the womb will return to the fairy realm and be reborn as a newcomer in the mortal couple in the fairyland; the soul of the soul will return to the god and be reborn as a newcomer in the mortal couple of the god realm; the corpse dog and the two spirits of Fu Ya will return to the demon cave and be reborn as a newcomer in the mortal couple of the demon cave; the two spirits of the bird yin and the swallowing thief will return to the demon world and be reborn as a newcomer in the mortal couple of the demon world; the two spirits of non-poison and defilement will return to the ghost realm and be reborn as a newcomer in the mortal couple of the ghost realm.
Every human soul will be washed by them with mana when they go to their continent to be reincarnated, so that it becomes their race, even if the number of cultivators of their own race continues to increase, as long as there are mortals who are not suitable for cultivation, and there are pure souls of our human beings as a supply, they will not be wiped out, and they can live endlessly. ”
Zheng Dao asked puzzledly, "Won't those souls that were forcibly taken away by them resist, don't they know that they were human beings in their previous lives?"
Ji Cang Zhenren shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Have you ever heard of Meng Po soup? All the souls of the dead must drink a bowl of Meng Po soup before crossing the Nai He Bridge and forget all the memories of their previous lives." Even if there is no Meng Po Tang, when they are reincarnated, they will be wiped out by mana to erase everything in the past. ”
