Chapter 888: Fish in the Leaping Pond(1/2)
Listening to Taoist Tianshang's eloquent talk about the relationship between time, space and the world, Li Zhen suddenly had some inexplicable feelings in his heart.
At this moment, the two of them seemed to be no longer monks from opposing camps, but old friends discussing true knowledge and philosophy with each other.
At the end of the road, different paths lead to the same destination. No matter which sect, family, faction, or race, they will all have similar views on some things.
Only subtle differences can be seen.
But sometimes, just this subtle difference can make life and death a struggle.
Li Zhendao: "You are right. We are all fish in the pond. We are lucky enough to succeed in cultivation. In the eyes of others, we will be able to transform into gods and become powerful ones. We may even become legends in the future by practicing true harmony... But what about all this?
?
All I know is to do the right thing right now. Since I am serving the righteous path of the Immortal Sect and serving the Heavenly Court, I should fight to the end against those of you who are on the demonic path."
Taoist Tianshang said: "I know you are duplicitous. You are doing this just to seize the four seas and lay the foundation for your Jixiang Sect to survive the end of the era. But you really don't have a trace of curiosity about how to jump out of this pond and go to the big river."
Can the river swim freely?"
Li Zhendao: "What do you mean?"
Taoist Tianshang said: "Now that things have happened, I am not afraid to tell you the truth. I left Xin Yue here solely to seize the inheritance of Ancestor Tuntian and prepare for the future of Hedao and Zhenzhen.
Xin Yue is indeed a descendant of the ancestor of Tuntian. I used some means to steal his blood and carefully crafted a chess piece.
The situation on the East China Sea was originally supposed to be one where I would swallow trillions of creatures and condense their essence. However, I did not expect that the progress was much slower than expected, and it was not resolved until the end of the world.
What I didn’t expect was that strong men like you and your disciples would rise in the sea..."
"It turns out that Xin Yue is the chess piece you arranged here!" Li Zhen confirmed this with a slightly gloomy expression.
He already fully understood the layout mentioned by Taoist Tianshang.
Perhaps in the Middle Ages, Ancestor Tuntian once left something on this side of the East China Sea. There were even zombies and other beings buried here. If someone excavated them, they could immediately inherit the Taoism and have the possibility to spy on their power.
But this kind of thing is undoubtedly very risky to do. As long as it arouses the vigilance of Patriarch Tuntian, it will immediately cause disaster. Even if Taoist Tianshang is as powerful as God, it took hundreds of years.
Come and set up such a deception.
From the perspective of Liangyi dust, the bloodline and original power of Ancestor Tuntian scattered in all directions are like tiny gravels one after another, completely integrated into this world.
It is really not an easy task to extract it from the sea and condense it into its original form. It is completely understandable that it has not been completed until now.
"You will understand later that this is essentially a method of stealing the sky, and it is also a shortcut for us, the gods, to draw power from the way of heaven.
In the past, Patriarch Tuntian became enlightened on this side of the East China Sea, so his imprint in this world is also based on this.
His true spirit has flowed upstream, resting on its origin in the chaotic void, but it may not be able to control this side of heaven alone!"
Seemingly to impress Li Zhen, Taoist Tianshang revealed another secret.
"You should also know that when we realized the transformation of gods, our minds briefly came into contact with the origin of chaos and gained strength from it. However, only after we merge with the Tao can we place our true souls in it and return to it again.
one.
This is also the reason why people in the world believe that subjective consciousness will be lost after joining the Tao.
But even so, there are still many things that monks can do. The most common one is to use the will left behind in all worlds to create an incarnation. Even a trace of spiritual thought can easily destroy this place.
The strong one.
There are only some exceptions for special occasions!”
Li Zhen was very keen: "For example, now?"
Taoist Tianshang said: "It was during these hundreds of years."
Li Zhen felt that he was not lying.
Many years ago, all parties spoke out about the one in heaven who had no taboos.
This is the result of the world becoming dirty.
The feeling of the local monks is that the secrets of heaven are becoming cloudy, and all kinds of divination and deduction techniques have lost their effect.
Li Zhen said: "Then after you successfully steal the origin of the ancestor Tuntian, how can you avoid his perception.
If you want to follow the path of harmony and refinement, you may not meet him in the river of time in the future."
Tianshang Taoist said: "Such secrets are not so easy to share. The so-called secrets cannot be leaked. Some things are not very clear when spoken."
Li Zhen said disdainfully: "I can detect that you did not lie, but not lying does not mean that you cannot hide some key points.
For example, the mystery of the origin battle.
While stealing the power of Ancestor Tuntian, why not follow his old path and directly compete with him? Maybe he is giving nutrients to others in vain?"
The malice in the sky became stronger again, but the voice that came down seemed to be endured.
"I have my own method of Li Dai Tao Zhan. I use some means to avoid induction. The principle is similar to avoiding heavenly calamity."
Li Zhen said: "It's still wrong. Even if you have a way to avoid the perception of monks, the marks or origins they leave should contain their own will. How can it be so easy to refine!"
When Taoist Tianshang heard this, he couldn't help but become a little impatient.
"Are you done yet? Do you really think that I am afraid of you and have to exchange these secrets?"
Li Zhen said: "You think too much. I never said you could exchange these secrets for Xin Yue. Everything you told me before was just your own wishful thinking."
"What did you say?" Taoist Tianshang seemed a little shocked.
Are all the young people today so ungrateful to martial ethics?
Only Li Zhen knew that the position of the camp was not a child's play. Even if he was not a die-hard member of the Heavenly Court, there was no reason for him to easily flirt with the enemy's powerful men here, or even reach a deal.
Seeing that he was vague on some key details, he did not intend to cross-examine him any further. He increased his efforts to mobilize Cha Wuxiang, vowing to solve Xin Yue here in one fell swoop.
The malice in the sky roared and turned into a giant python-like thing and rushed down.
It was a monster condensed by the corpse evil. If you look carefully, you can see that there is a human head hundreds of feet square in the front, and a long snake body behind it.
He opened his mouth wide, and the foul smell filled the air like black smoke, infecting the entire world.
But the next moment, Li Zhen opened the Jixiang Dharma Domain, and the magical power of smelling the fragrance but not smelling the smell isolated it. Even the monsters crashed into it with a bang, scattering smoke and dust all over the sky.
The invisible force retreated swaying, as if something invisible in the smoke had disturbed the airflow, and was about to try to regroup, but then the aroma dispersed the stench, weakening its presence a bit.
This is the characteristic of incense to clean the environment, which is in strong conflict with this kind of filth and filth.
In the Jixiang Dharma Domain, his will seemed to have become dull, making it difficult to control those filthy evil spirits.
Taoist Tianshang was greatly shocked. These corpse evil spirits were not extraordinary objects, but the Tianshang evil energy that he had cultivated at the cost of cutting off his own cultivation. Over the years, he had successively injected many poisons extracted from heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
, coupled with the essence of the evil spirit among thousands of corpses, it can corrode people's souls and has extraordinary power.
But when it comes to the fragrance driven out by the method of incense, it seems to be a natural nemesis.
Li Zhen also felt this, and vaguely found the feeling he had when he dealt with Demon Lord Youyou in the past.
In the past, the Netherworld Demon Lord has long since died, and the only remaining immortal soul is still alive. It uses the power of the soul to transform its essence to cause harm to the world.
At this moment, Taoist Tianshang has not yet arrived, and what he relies on is also the mind of the soul, as well as the corpse evil that has been refined by condensing all kinds of filth and evil.
This happened to be overcome by the power of the Incense Dao, and even more so, it was rejected by the Jixiang Dharma Domain that I was born with.
Li Zhen thought about this, and condensed a lot of vitality into it in the Wanxiang Huahong Chapter, just like the light of a sword slashing at the invisible soul.
Immediately, the incarnation descended by Taoist Tianshang exploded again, and those filthy evil spirits were purified away.
"Li Zhen!"
Taoist Tianshang roared, and his strong malice condensed more putrid stench to surround him, but all of this disappeared without any suspense the moment it touched Jixiang's legal domain.
Taoist Tianshang was furious at his incompetence and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He originally thought that he, a dignified senior who was in the late stage of divine transformation, would be able to survive for a while and create opportunities for Xin Yue to escape from the predicament.
But I never expected that this would be the result.
Taoist Tianshang could only watch helplessly as Li Zhen spent several hours eroding the corpse Kun, and finally, using his ability to recognize people by scent, he dug out Xin Yue's true body from a piece of flesh and blood, and killed him in front of him.
"Li Zhen, okay... okay, I will remember you!"
Taoist Tianshang almost wanted to vomit blood, but he still suppressed his anger, suppressed his voice, and threatened to end the matter.
From then on, the bad intentions dissipated and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Li Zhen shook his head helplessly.
"I didn't really want to offend you, but while you're coaxing me with nice words, what kind of Taoist tools are you going to give me, and at the same time are you full of malice? Do you really think I'm stupid?"
Although he is only a child over 600 years old, he still has his own judgment.
It was useless to think too much, so I simply didn't bother to pay attention to that person anymore, and turned to look at the ground.
The corpse Kun whose flesh and blood had been eroded by the incense of tea and turnips was not completely dead, but continued to maintain its vitality in an incredible way.
No, it was not a living creature in the first place. This kind of power could no longer be called vitality.
Rotten flesh is also constantly transformed with energy. This power between life and death is the immortal body of the Corpse Immortal Way.
Li Zhen had already learned some secrets about this matter from various places before he was promoted to Transformation God, and he even recalled his experiences in daily life.
"Some fish can still move even if they are dead!"
