On the third floor of Jiange, two people sat opposite each other, one spoke and the other listened.
According to Li Mingyue's previous understanding, in addition to the so-called Demon Realm, the extraterritorial forces also include the Immortal Realm, Valley of Fire, Benlei Mountain, Sage Island and other forces. In addition to the previous statement of the ancestor of the Sword Sect, there is also the so-called Three Realms and Six Paths.
There is not much information recorded in the Sword Pavilion. In addition to the Demon Realm and the Monster Clan, which are more detailed, there are also some detailed records in the Valley of Fire and Benlei Mountain. As for other places, there is only a vague outline.
At this moment, what this ancestor was telling Li Mingyue was the so-called Flame Valley and Benlei Mountain.
The old man looked at Li Mingyue and said, "Take out the divine sword."
Li Mingyue took out both swords and handed the divine sword to the old man. The old man shook his head quickly and said with a smile: "I don't dare to accept this thing."
Seeing these two swords again, the old man was still uncontrollably excited. If he could, he would definitely take the sword. This shows that the old man did not lie.
The old man asked: "Based on what you know, what do you think gods are?"
Li Mingyue was stunned and did not answer directly as he understood. Instead, he looked down at the sword in his hand and fell into thinking.
The old man smiled and said, "Just say what you think."
Li Mingyue said: "The spirits and souls of mountains and rivers with merit, through the worship and incense offerings of the world, or the imperial edict, have the so-called Shinto, so that they can protect the existence of one party and call it a god."
The ancestor of the Sword Sect smiled and nodded, and said: "That's actually true, but after all, it's just the world that ordinary people see. The existence of such gods is because of needs, the needs of ordinary people, because of the existence of the world.
There are natural disasters and man-made disasters, so we need something to rely on, so we have such gods. It can be said that the existence of such gods was created by human beings."
Li Mingyue nodded, he could understand this statement.
The old man continued: "Because of this, there is a saying that it is easier to become a god than to become an immortal. Every practitioner can understand this. It involves the existence of the physical body. But in fact, it is not like this. It is true.
Speaking of which, it was not like this in the beginning.”
Li Mingyue was stunned and looked up at the ancestor of the Sword Sect.
The old man continued: "This is why Benlei Mountain is called the descendant of ancient gods. Like the Valley of Fire, these two forces have survived from ancient times... Let's put it this way, existences like Benlei Mountain,
Only then can one be called a real god. As the saying goes, there is a god three feet above the head. It refers to this type of existence, not the gods that ordinary people understand."
The old man raised his head slightly and continued: "Of course, Benleishan is only a descendant of the gods after all. It only has the blood of the ancient gods, not the real gods, otherwise it would not be in a corner and unknown. But even so, other
The strength is still not to be underestimated, at least it cannot be competed by ordinary monks like us. From this we can see how powerful the ancient gods are."
Li Mingyue only felt a little weird.
The old man continued: "And this sword was born at the beginning of heaven and earth together with these gods. It is a powerful existence that only the gods can control, so it is called the divine sword."
Li Mingyue looked at the other sword in his hand and asked, "What about this one?"
In fact, compared to the Divine Sword, he cared more about the other sword, the so-called God Killer, because this sword seemed to resonate more with him.
The ancestor of the Sword Sect looked at the other sword in Li Mingyue's hand and said slowly: "At the beginning of the world, the clear air rose up and became the sky, and the turbid air sank and became the earth. Everything in this world has positive and negative, and there is Yin and Yang.
, there is heaven and earth, there are gods and demons naturally, this one is born from the turbid energy, and it is the only existence that can kill the gods, it is to kill the gods."
Li Mingyue nodded, and finally understood why the two swords could blend with each other and cancel each other out in his body. This is like the two qi of yin and yang, complementing each other and coexisting.
However, there is still one thing that Li Mingyue cannot understand. Since it is called a magic sword, it is naturally an evil object. Anything in this world that has the word "devil" in it will be defined as an evil existence and will become a righteous immortal sect.
The target of the crusade is the same as Jiuyi Mountain before.
Although Tianjian Mountain does not have a clear distinction between good and evil, it would not put such an evil sword in the sword tomb. At least other righteous immortal sects would not agree at all. The strangest thing is that I can actually follow this evil sword.
If the sword resonates with me, wouldn't I be defined as a monster?
Having this idea in his mind, and combining it with all the previous situations, Li Mingyue felt horrified in his heart, and an inexplicable sense of fear lingered in his heart, and he couldn't get rid of it no matter what.
Li Mingyue swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked: "The trouble our ancestors mentioned before was because of this sword?"
The ancestor of the Sword Sect nodded, shook his head, and said: "Both swords are in trouble."
Li Mingyue was stunned.
The ancestor of the Sword Sect continued: "Desire is endless. Mortals want to live forever, immortals want to control the world and dominate all things. God may be the ultimate pursuit. Once this sword appears in the world, it will inevitably arouse conflicts from all parties.
Coveting, this is one of the troubles; God Killer is the only existence that can kill gods. Because of this, it is defined as the sword of evil. This is the thinking of normal people. Any existence that threatens our safety is unacceptable.
Good, evil, that's trouble number two."
Li Mingyue was a little surprised. Regarding the theory of good and evil, he actually felt that this statement was very pertinent.
After the old man finished speaking, his expression suddenly became a little bitter. He looked at Li Mingyue and said, "So because of the existence of these two swords, no matter good or evil, it seems that your existence is not allowed. This is the biggest trouble."
Li Mingyue suddenly felt that the bitterness in his heart reached the extreme. No matter whether he was good or evil, at least he still had a place to stay and had room to choose. But in the current situation, he had no choice waiting for him.
In the vast world and the long universe, there is no place where I can fit.
The ancestor of the Sword Sect continued: "Your master ascended and used certain means to temporarily cut off the inheritance of immortality. But because of this, the gap between various forces leading to the human world was opened. This led to the current situation. The key is
It won't be long before the inheritance of immortality will continue. After all, manpower is exhausted. No matter how powerful Chen Daoling is, he will not be able to change the rules of the entire world by himself. By then, the entire world will be even more chaotic, with immortals and demons coexisting, and fire and water are incompatible. And you
It will become an existence that is neither soluble in water nor soluble in fire."
Li Mingyue could only say bitterly: "Ancestor, can you tell me the general situation of each force?"
The ancestor of the Sword Sect nodded, stretched out his hand and drew a frame out of thin air, and said: "This is the world we live in, the so-called human world."
He drew another frame to the left of this one and said: "This is the Land of Paradise."
He drew a small circle in the demonic soil and said, "This is the Hundred Thousand Mountains."
After saying that, he drew another frame on top of the two frames: "This is the Demon Realm, and it is also the North Sea."
He drew a frame on the east and south sides respectively and said: "This is the East China Sea and the South China Sea."
After finishing the painting, he looked at Li Mingyue and said: "These are considered a side. Sage Island, Benlei Mountain, and Flame Valley all belong to the forces of this side. It's just that no one knows the specific location. It belongs to an unknown place."
After saying that, he changed the place and drew a new frame, and said: "This is another side, which is not the same world as ours."
Li Mingyue asked directly: "Immortal world?"
The ancestor of the Sword Sect nodded and said: "Actually, it is not correct to call it the immortal world. To be more precise, it should be called the upper world more appropriately, because there are more than just immortals here, just like there are more than just people in the human world.
There are also demons and demons, and their power is no worse than that of immortals. Almost all living beings who are successful in cultivating the Tao will ascend here."
Li Mingyue nodded and asked: "Once the inheritance is renewed, these beings can enter the human world at will?"
The ancestor of the Sword Sect shook his head and said: "Of course not, you need to use certain means and pay a certain price."
Li Mingyue did not feel relaxed because of this. In the past, these so-called immortals might not pay a price for him as a small Guiyuan realm monk, but now with these two swords, the situation is completely different.
If it is true as the ancestor said, these two swords are really coveted by immortals, those so-called immortals will definitely pay the same price. When the time comes, the enemies they need to face will be existences that surpass saints.
A true immortal, can the woman in the bell still be able to cope with it when the time comes?
Taking a step back, even if this woman really has the power to rival an immortal, where can I find so many spiritual treasures that can support this woman's actions? The key is that after this woman takes action, she will fall into a deep sleep at every turn. When the time comes, she will be able to rely on the same.
Only yourself.
The more he thought about it, the more bitter Li Mingyue felt.
The woman in the bell said at this time: "The so-called immortals are not as terrible as you think, and the so-called saints are not as unbearable as you think. Generally speaking, you can ascend to the saintly realm, but there are three realms in the holy realm.
, the gap between each level is huge. Otherwise, why do you think Chen Daoling can single-handedly cut off the thousands of years of Taoist inheritance? Why can the strong men of the Sword Sect in the past dynasties be able to use just one sword?
Can you teach the immortals to bow their heads and prevent the monks from entering the world?"
Li Mingyue was stunned.
Naturally, Li Mingyue's subtle changes could not escape the eyes of the ancestor of the sword sect. Likewise, the existence of the woman in the bell could not escape the eyes of the ancestor, so he just smiled slightly and did not say much.
Li Mingyue simply asked: "Is there a level for immortals?"
The ancestor of the Sword Sect smiled and said: "Yes, but even the lowest level of immortals is still a saint-level existence."
Li Mingyue naturally understood the implication of this ancestor's words, smiled slightly bitterly, and asked: "Can I visit other forces when I reach the Holy Realm?"
The ancestor of the Sword Sect nodded and said: "It can only be said that after reaching the Holy Realm, you have the qualifications to contact some forces. It should be noted that although the Holy Realm is strong, it is not the end."
He looked at Li Mingyue and said with a smile: "I believe that you will be able to reach that height in the future, but before you reach that height, you still need to learn to be patient."
