Chapter 360: Merit and Demons
The boundless sea of blood, the light waves, the fine red waves are layered on top of each other, gently stirred by the slightly reddish sea breeze, and let out bursts of pleasant shallow singing. Unconsciously, the previous brilliance has been gently erased without a trace.
It's a pity that this gentleness is too bloody, and I'm afraid that few mortals in the world will think it's beautiful, and they may be frightened by the sea of blood and become crazy. And Xiao Yun, who was blessed by misfortune, had no intention of paying attention to the beautiful scenery of the Blood Sea at the moment, and was urging the Blood Dao Secret Array with all his strength to gather blood and qi for the three exhausted ancestors.
It is only because the supreme truth can never be changed, and the relationship between obtaining and giving has always been reciprocal, and the treatment and achievement of purple eyes with the Blood Sea Dao Array must pay the corresponding price.
In the past three years, the old blood dragon who has continued to urge the Blood Sea Dao Array, although he has created the strength of the purple eyes to practice the Void Peak, but because of this, he has consumed too much of his own strength, resulting in an unprecedented weakness now.
Fortunately, Xiao Yun, who has cultivated to a violent age, is now able to take care of the three ancestors, and the ten-mile blood gathering array that was quickly arranged, under the vigorous urging of the purple-eyed young man, although there is no sound and no brilliance flowing, he can always help the three ancestors recover quickly.
As a result, the sea of blood became more and more peaceful, and it continued to be infused with the power of the sea of blood, and the three blood dragon ancestors finally made up their minds after a month. Although it has not yet returned to its full state, it has been able to recover on its own from the large array.
It's just that the virtual bodies of the three ancestors are still not as condensed as they were at the beginning, and it is obvious that the consumption of activating the Dao Array to treat Xiao Yun is already too large to bear.
Moreover, Xiao Yun's keen intuition appeared again, and he found that the weakness of the ancestors was not simple, but I was afraid that there were other unknown reasons, otherwise how could the spirit of the Blood Sea World be so difficult to recover.
"Ancestor, the speed of your reply is not ideal, do you need to open the Great Emperor Dao Array again? I can also urge some time now. ”
The purple-eyed young man was a little anxious in his heart, and his strong intuition told him that the price paid by the three ancestors for this treatment and self-cultivation was not as simple as it seemed.
"It's okay, we're fine, just recover for a while, and there's no need to start the Dao Formation again. "The voice of the old ancestor of Yan Yin was extremely weak at this moment, and his illusory face was constantly fluctuating.
"I said, why are you in a hurry, kid? Completely refine the remaining Xuanming Divine Power in your body, besides, a few of our old guys can use you to worry about it?"
Although Ancestor Yan Kui was as impatient as ever, the weakness in his words was too obvious, and he still had the momentum of the past.
Xiao Yun felt more and more wrong when he heard this, and immediately asked the three ancestors: "Ancestor and Xiao Yun can urge the Dao Array, so let the kid do some filial piety, okay? If you can't reply quickly, how dare I leave here and return to the mortal realm!"
"Xiao Yunzi, don't make a mess, okay? Think you don't have to pay the price for urging the Great Emperor's Dao Array? Go, go, go, go back to your mortal realm and try to save as many people as possible, and accumulate more merit than anything else!"
The old ancestor of Yan Kui really missed his mouth because of his impatience, and the clever young man immediately heard the clue and guessed that the price to be paid for urging the Dao Array was the power of merit that the Great Emperor had left in the sea of blood.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yun's color suddenly changed, how could a young man who cultivated the two avenues of time and space not know the truth of the Heavenly Dao cycle and the constant gain and loss? Arrange the immortal technique to speed up the time, of course, it is impossible to do it once and for all, and it must have a large amount of merit as consumption in order to maintain the long-term existence of the blood sea of time and space.
If the merits retained in the sea of blood are consumed too much, it will definitely not be able to maintain the acceleration of time for a day and a hundred years, and the time in the sea of blood will gradually slow down, and eventually it will synchronize with the time in the outside world.
Now the fatigue of the three ancestors is clearly that it has consumed too much merit in the Shura Blood Sea, which has caused it difficult for the spirit of the world to recover the spirit body.
Obviously, this is not good news, if you completely lose this blessed place of cultivation because of the treatment and achievement of yourself, you will undoubtedly be the sinners of the Xiao Clan and the Blood Spirit Sect.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yun, who was so anxious, couldn't calm down anymore, and hurriedly asked the three ancestors why they couldn't start the Dao Formation again.
Perhaps it was already destined that Xiao Yun must fulfill his oath and reshape the body of the blood dragon for the three ancestors. The clever purple-eyed young man skillfully used the method of agitation, and finally after some soft grinding and hard bubbles, the anxious Yan Kui ancestor told the truth.
Sure enough, the truth far exceeded Xiao Yun's guess, in order to save and fulfill the purple eyes, and also for the sake of the sea of blood to consume less merit power, the three old blood dragons actually consumed most of the merit that Emperor Sulun had left to them to maintain their own existence.
In this way, if they can't get the replenishment of the power of merit in time, the three ancestors will have at most five hundred years left in the outside world, and they will usher in the final extinction. Undoubtedly, this is to save the purple eyes with their lives, and also left a sea of blood blessed land for the Xiao clan to whom they are loyal.
The three old blood dragons have indeed existed for too long, although they have been transformed into the acquired spirit clan through immortal arts, but no matter how long they have a lifespan, they can't stand a day and a hundred years, right?
The sea of Shura blood, which has existed in the world for hundreds of thousands of years, does not need to think about how many years have passed inside, you can know how long it is.
So after the catastrophe came, the purple-eyed young man, who was repeatedly fragile, once again cried loudly for the inseparable family affection. The young man's heart-rending cry was not only sad, but also extremely hated for himself, where was the evil venerable with a resolute temperament and doing whatever he wanted.
It's not surprising that if Xiao Yun, who is extremely affectionate, had known this, even if he immediately ended the life of the purple-eyed mortal body, he would not be willing to get such a strength improvement.
But now that the wood is in the boat, no matter how much regret is useless, the only feasible way is to let the three old clans recondense the dragon soul and reshape the dragon body as soon as possible.
Xiao Yun can also return to the mortal realm to collect merits, which is already equivalent to the purple eyes of the realm of cultivating the Void Peak, and now that he has entered the threshold of controlling his own merits, he can indeed let the three ancestors continue to exist.
However, the merits left by Emperor Sulun are so vast that Xiao Yun can't compare no matter how hard he tries. After all, the realm determines the ability to collect and control merits, and what the Immortal Emperor can do is almost an insurmountable supernatural peak for Purple Eyes.
This also made the grief-stricken purple-eyed young man unable to care about grief here, and had to bid farewell to the three ancestors and return to the mortal realm. I don't want to know, Xiao Yun will definitely do whatever it takes to rescue the robbers as soon as possible to accumulate merit, and he will immediately start looking for the Mortal Earth Eye and get the other chapters of the Soul Source Chaos Sutra.
Perhaps this is Xiao Yun's destined fate, he must always be sad and angry after gaining something, and he can only be exhausted for the vow in his heart.
Therefore, just like the purple-eyed young man who was reborn, the newly acquired Feng Clan's domineering will, he was like oil in a state of grief and indignation, and he had just appeared from the purple light on Lanxia Peak, and all the monks were terrified.
It's just that the monks on Lanxia Peak were already uneasy, and they weren't completely scared like this by Xiao Yun. At this moment, in the Shenxiao Hall, Wu Huan and the six elders, as well as the Soul Guard Commander Xiao Wei and the Guard Commander Yao Yao, were anxiously discussing something.
Obviously, in the mortal world, unexpected changes have occurred. Moreover, the three years that Purple Eyes spent in the Shura Blood Sea, the mortal realm has only passed more than a quarter of an hour, and the Thirteen Divine Army led by the old man Biquan has not yet returned, and the silver pupils collected by the Stygian Grass are not worried, and they go directly to Evil Cloud City.
At present, the Shenxiao Dao Sect only has more than a hundred soul guards, and less than a hundred Qingqi guards, and it simply does not have enough strength to deal with the major crisis that has just been discovered. Therefore, Wu Huan, who stayed behind in Lanxia Peak, had just received the warning from the guards who were patrolling outside, and he was so anxious that he couldn't do it.
Fortunately, the purple eyes were worried about Lanxia Peak, which was not guarded by the deity, and came directly to the master after leaving the Shura Blood Sea. The panicked Wu Huan was just about to shuttle through the void and urgently ask for help from the husbands stationed in the other three places, and the bright purple light had already appeared in the main hall in time.
"Brother Yun, something big happened in Guiling Valley, and there are a lot of demons here!"
Wu Huan, who has always been the most patriarchal, saw Xiao Yun returning, and he actually grabbed his husband's hand tightly and trembled. And even the words were incoherent, and the charming little face was full of urgency, and the panic was so panicked that there was no trace of calm.
Xiao Yun's heart was shocked when he heard this, Xiao Huan, who was the most shrewd and calm, was so out of shape, which showed how terrifying the demons that appeared in Guiling Valley were.
The purple-eyed young man hurriedly grabbed his beloved wife in a panic, and he didn't care about asking anything more, and immediately urged this breakthrough with all his might, and he was already able to see his mind from afar.
After a while, Xiao Yun was also shocked, just because the Guiling Valley, which was only thirty miles away, was not only gloomy at this moment, but the boiling demonic qi was even more amazing.
And these are not the things that Ziyan is most worried about, at this moment, in the Guiling Valley, there is actually a void portal of several zhang, and there are nearly a thousand underworld demons pouring out of it.
Xiao Yun, who crisscrossed the Citrus Realm, although he had never seen the Nine Nether Demons before, he had already heard of the terrifying murderous reputation of the clan.
During the battle of these primeval gods and underworlds, the descendants of the dark devils who rushed to the aid of the netherworld were just like the Blue Devil Yaksha he created, which was a mutated demon created by the corpse ancestor generals. Moreover, these terrifying demons, even in the supreme Nine Hells Realms, are all terrifying existences with a great reputation.
Shocked to see the Nine Nether Demons appear in the mortal realm, his expression instantly became extremely solemn purple eyes, where can he still care about random speculation, and immediately urge his mind to send the other four deities.
In fact, Xiao Yun didn't have to guess too much to have an intuition, these demons who suddenly came to the Returning Spirit Valley must have a lot to do with the original Soul Restoration Palace, otherwise where would they have such accurate Void Coordinates.
It's no wonder, the Eye of the Earth has existed since the opening of the world, and the Ten Thousand Souls Wooden Plaque that suppressed the Eye of the Earth has also appeared for more than a million years, and Xiao Yun cannot be the first to discover it.
As for why the previous discoverers did not take it, it is nothing more than intimidated by the majesty of the Chaos Gods, or if there is a larger plan. It can be seen that the silver corpse flesh shell that achieved the silver pupil deity also has an unusual origin, and it is likely to have a relationship with the corpse ancestor generals.
Also, on the side of the couch of the hundreds of thousands of great sects standing in the continent, the gods and ghosts unknowingly laid a shadow, and its far-reaching premeditated and means could be done by ordinary mortal monks?
Xiao Yun, who cultivated the corpse path, of course understood that no matter what happened, as long as it was related to the corpse ancestor generals, it would definitely not be ordinary, and if he neglected it, the consequences would definitely be unimaginable.
Fortunately, although the mortal realm has limited access to heaven and earth, it will not descend on the irresistible enlightened beings, and if they can deal with the Fa, the underworld will not become a mortal threat. Also, the power of the Orange Realm is not a decoration, and Xiao Yun has enough strength to deal with those who have not attained enlightenment.
"Xiao Huan, don't be too anxious, the mortal realm can't come to the enlightened people, even if the demons can't do it, what can they do? ”
Hearing her husband's domineering words, although Wu Huan was very surprised that Brother Yun's temperament had changed again, she couldn't help but feel safe, and quickly settled her flustered heart. It seems that the girl sect master still has some inexplicable feelings, and the current husband should be the overlord of the mortal realm.
Wu Huan couldn't help but feel a little ashamed, feeling that he was all the sect master, and his dependence on Brother Yun was still so strong, it was really difficult to match the identity of the sect master.
The strong girl sect master hurriedly agreed with a red face, and then cheered up and began to assign the elders, first of all, to calm the panicked disciples in the sect, and always be ready to fight the demons.
Obviously, Wu Huan didn't find out that it wasn't her dependence at all just now, nor was it his wife's subservience to her husband. It is because Xiao Yun's perfect soul sea wheel has initially sublimated the origin of life, and the realm of the spirit wheel has fully displayed the power of the soul path and the rhyme of life and death, and it also has the domineering will of the Feng clan that has been deprived of his own.
With all kinds of power that even Xiao Yun didn't fully understand, it was natural that at the life origin level, the existence of the life level was far inferior to his, and it produced an irresistible deterrent power. Just as ordinary demons fear dragons and phoenixes, humans and demons must fear the ancestor of the bloodline, which is the embodiment of the iron rule of life that has never changed.
Today's purple eyes are both mortal and higher than mortals, perhaps it is more accurate to call them perfect mortals. After all, the sublimation of the origin of life is a miracle, and it also fully proves that Xiao Yun's evil path of cultivation is not a whimsical illusion, but another way of cultivation that truly belongs to mortals.
So Xiao Yun, who was thinking about how to deal with the demons, was not surprised to hear that in the soul sea true spirit wheel, there was a constantly echoing but extremely familiar congratulatory voice, which was the kind sister Ten Thousand Soul Tree that had not been seen for a long time.
"Brother and sister Xiaoyun, congratulations! This time, your performance of blessing in disguise is perfect, and you have finally taken the first step to perfect the origin of the heart. ”
"Sister...... Sister, is there any way to collect more merits? I was able to improve this time, and the three ancestors paid the price of self-sacrifice! Would you like to ask my sister to guide me?"
"Hehe...... Silly brother, based on the merits of the Pangu Universe, you only need to stop rescuing the robber clan, so that the Epoch Tribulation can successfully exterminate the superfluous creatures, which is the greatest merit......"
The voice of the Ten Thousand Souls Tree was still so kind and gentle, but it made Xiao Yun feel creepy to hear. Stopping the rescue of the poor robbers may not be a heart disease worth tangling with for people who have no way to save them, but for Xiao Yun who has found a way to save them, this is the most cruel choice that cannot be made.
Because he always pursues the goodness in his heart, because people must understand what great love is, Xiao Yun, who can easily obtain merit, is silent and full of entanglement. Therefore, the kind mortal boy is in a dilemma where he can't choose between maintaining personal feelings and great love.
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, this is hypocrisy and ignorance of current affairs, the pursuit of those high-sounding but extremely unrealistic illusory ideals, isn't this a stupid idiot!
But the young man who cultivates his mind understands that if he is not faithful to the good in his heart, then his existence is as humble as the weeds of the wasteland. What can be proved even if the spring breeze blows and is born again? It is nothing but meaningless tenacity, and pure selfish dying struggle, which can only exist as much as nothing.
However, Xiao Yun couldn't watch the three ancestors disappear, if he could solve these problems with his own life, he would definitely make a choice without hesitation.
But this is not an option he can have, he is still just an evil lord of ants, and he can only accept the tireless manipulation of fate and the repeated torture of his kind heart.
Ten Thousand Soul Tree sensed his younger brother's chaotic and contradictory heart, and suddenly felt that such a test was too immoral, and the mental torture suffered by a child like Xiao Yun was really beyond his ability to bear.
However, the Chaos Gods had to do this, and the strength and greatness of the mind and its sublimation always consisted only in the right choice when it was impossible to choose, and this is the practice that the mind needs most.
"Silly brother, living beings are also a necessary factor in the Pangu universe, reproduction is the sublimation that any existence desires, be loyal to the beauty in your heart, that is the origin of your heart......"
The gentle female voice gradually weakened, and the excited Xiao Yun couldn't get any reply no matter how he called. However, after the Chaos God felt Xiao Yun's sincerity, he finally gave up her test and pointed out the right path that should be chosen for the poor young man who was suffering from spiritual torture.
Also, the Chaos Gods, risking being attacked by the Marauders, are doing their best to carve out a powerful universe of themselves, and of course hope that everything will flourish and that the expansion of the universe will be accelerated. Otherwise, even if you have nothing to do, you won't be stupid enough to find yourself unlucky, right?
The purple-eyed young man was indeed very excited, and the words of Sister Ten Thousand Souls before she left had undoubtedly fully explained that although there are all kinds of ugliness in this world, truth, goodness and beauty will still be used as the value standard.
Perhaps this has nothing to do with morality taken out of context, nor is it a concocted confusion for the sake of possession, but the meaning of existence and the principle of self-nobility, and it is also the fundamental cultivation of the mind that must be understood......
Not long after, the old man of Biquan led the Thirteen Divine Army and rushed back to Lanxia Peak in a hurry. The Seven Yaksha such as Sha Luo Ti also fulfilled the king's mandate and brought the elite of the Ten Thousand Yaksha back to the Shenxiao Dao Sect.
And the purple-eyed young man who was excited at the moment under the guidance of the Chaos God was actually singing loudly, bringing the excitement that belonged to the hearts of mortals to the ears of all existence.
"The wind is against the journey, the floating dust. The sky is light and cloudy, and it does not wander. The reincarnation of the ninth generation is bitter, and there are also 100,000 years of joy and sorrow. My heart will not change, but the good will always be promoted, and I will be happy forever without regrets......
Listening to Xiao Yun's clear and melodious singing, the Terran monks were suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that Elder Taishang was clearly interpreting the true meaning of life, and this was the avenue that people should understand.
The ghosts, on the other hand, were thrilled by the king's heroism, even though they never knew what kindness was, and they didn't understand why mortals had such strange feelings. But they understand that the king's heart is like the ocean, and they can also realize the domineering will to make a vow for the heart.
In fact, Xiao Yun didn't think about it that much at all, but he was just happy to be able to gain merit and let the three ancestors who were like close relatives and elders continue to exist. Perhaps simple sincerity is the most valuable, but it changes its appearance after it is complicated, so the "Tao Jing" will have the wise sayings of great white and humiliating, wise and foolish.
So the stupid boy in the eyes of most people was so excited that he shouted an unknown dangerous order to his loyal subordinates: "Everyone come with me, prepare for a decisive battle, and see ......what those demons want to do!"
