Volume 23, Chapter 8 [Cromo and the Taoist Companion]
Master Cromo pointed at the two bronze carriages and said: "Wang Rui, I spent almost all my wealth on this carriage, as well as the things you gave me from Longzhong. It can be said that I have spent my whole life's hard work on it."
Wang Rui nodded, raised his hands and asked: "Master, the earliest request you mentioned before, is it related to the thing in front of you?"
"Yes, this car can just go to the Nine Nether Realm." As soon as these words came out, almost everyone was shocked. However, Wang Rui was okay, he was just a little surprised. After all, this car has an even more amazing side, it can travel through time and space. If he said it,
I'm afraid no one will believe it, but I don't know if Master Cromo understands it himself.
However, treasures that can travel to the Nine Nether Realm are indeed extremely rare. At least Wang Rui has not heard of it being possible to do so with just one treasure.
At this time, Tantai Qing, as a member of Wanbao Pavilion, has become the ruler of Dongxuan Continent, which is equivalent to dominating Wanbao Pavilion in the other three continents. According to her understanding, it is extremely difficult to go to Jiuyou Realm.
Wang Rui and others all listened attentively.
The Nine Nether Realm is extremely mysterious and terrifying at the same time. It seems to correspond to the Immortal Realm, but no one knows where it is. It is also extremely vague in some records, but generally there are two ways to go to the Nine Nether Realm.
First, if you become a ghost immortal, you can feel the power of the Nine Nether Realm, and you can open the entrance by induction and enter. This is the most direct way. However, the way of the ghost immortal is more difficult than taking off and ascending to the fairy world.
In cultivation, you not only have to be devoid of love and desire, but you also have to go through a life of nine deaths, and you have to go through thousands of tribulations before you have the chance to become a ghost or immortal.
Moreover, after attaining the Tao, you can basically only stay in the Nine Nether Realm, and the human world and the immortal world will no longer be connected to you. Therefore, those who choose to practice the way of ghosts and immortals are almost unique.
The second is the way of killing gods, also known as the way of Shura. Although this path is much less difficult than the former, it is too killing and requires constant absorption of blood evil energy. It is the most dangerous path among demons.
, even more dangerous than the way of the Sword Immortal.
The way of the Sword Immortal seeks to put the body into the sword, the sword into the heart, and finally the body and sword become one, which is infinitely powerful. However, it is also easy to break because it is too sharp and too strong. Sword Immortals rarely live long enough.
, and the closer to the later stage, the more dangerous the test becomes, and the more difficult it is to overcome the tribulation, hanging on by a thread.
One of Wang Rui's lovers, Li Xiyue, is one of the Sword Immortals. Now she is in the late stage of the distraction realm. Every step forward is extremely difficult and dangerous. Wang Rui even persuaded her to give up the way of the Sword Immortal and practice the Five Elements instead.
Tao or the way of wind and thunder. However, he was rebuffed of course, so he had no choice but to do his best to provide some support to Li Xiyue. In the future, he would also try his best to help her when she was going through the disaster, otherwise it would be difficult for her to survive.
The way of Shura relies on killing, and the skill of cultivation is to transform the evil spirit into the spiritual power of blood evil. Every time you advance to a higher level, the number of creatures that need to be killed becomes larger. Therefore, once such evil cultivators appear, they will be affected by both good and evil.
Only after the Shura demon cultivator breaks through to become a god can he sense the call of the Nine Nether Realm. Then he must create a killing feast. With this sacrifice ceremony, he can open the entrance to the Nine Nether Realm. Similarly, after going there,
It's almost impossible to come back.
Finally, according to Tantai Qing, even if the entrance to the Nine Nether Realm is found, it will be very difficult to come out after entering. At least so far, I have not heard of the monk coming back after going there. Immortals may be able to, and they
I'm afraid people can't do it.
Finally, everyone understood the importance of the two carriage treasures in front of them, which could almost be said to be unique.
"This treasure is already at the level of a holy treasure in terms of grade." Speaking such words as Tantai Qing at this moment almost made the bronze carriage in front of him reach a sky-high price. If he is willing to auction it, it will definitely trigger a controversy.
A bloody storm.
However, Master Cromo will naturally not put it up for auction. For him, he seems to have other unknown purposes.
He did not hide this, but he refused to say it in front of others. He was only willing to tell Wang Rui alone. Although everyone wanted to know about this, there was nothing they could do.
Wang Rui simply asked Land Rover, He Na and others to build a simple camp on the spot to let Master Cromo and Vanessa rest first. After all, they also came across the continent.
Among the people who visited him on this trip, Xuelun, the leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect in Xiwu Continent, did not come. Through Tantai Qing, Wang Rui learned that Xiwu Continent is very difficult at the moment.
After the last round of burning, killing and plundering by the Hai Clan army, the land of Xiwu Continent was littered with corpses. Hundreds of thousands of monks were killed, and a large area of resources was plundered. For other continents, they can still recover, but Xiwu Continent
But it's very difficult.
As a result, Sharon was too busy to come here at the moment, but she also sent Master Cromo, who was close to him, as the representative of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, hoping to get the support of Wanbao Pavilion, Tiandao Alliance and Yuantian Sect.
The Nanyue Continent was also undergoing renovations, but Empress Siqi was also incapable of doing anything else, so she teamed up with the other three dynasties to send envoys. They were not here purely for help, but they came with the fire crystal, a specialty of the Nanyue Continent, hoping to carry out the work.
Trade, and through He Na, using her as the spokesperson of South Vietnam. After Wang Rui discussed with Lu Hu, Ling Huxiao and others, they would not refuse. After all, it was profitable.
When the Immortal Sect from Beiming Continent comes here, things are a little different.
Sword Sect Xian Fenghai wanted to form an alliance with Yuantian Sect. After forming an alliance with Tiandao Alliance a few years ago, he benefited a lot and became the strongest force in Beiming Continent. However, later on, as Bingxuan Palace took the initiative to form an alliance with Demon Sect, Dahuang
Sect alliance, the alliance of the three major forces still makes Jianzong feel pressure, so this time it hopes to join the line of Yuantian Sect.
Helianxue, Obetan, Anatar, Luluo and others also had this purpose and hoped to form an alliance with Yuantian Sect. They also hoped to convince Wang Rui that the blind strength of Jianzong was not in line with other immortals in Beimingzhou.
The interests of the sect will also pose a huge threat to the three major forces that have already formed an alliance.
Wang Rui has a very close relationship with the Demon Sect and the Great Wilderness Sect. Although he had some disagreements with He Lianxue, the two finally settled their differences. In addition, after all, there are still some entanglements in the previous life, and the super large teleportation array is also in Bingxuan.
Palace, so after some discussion, Wang Rui agreed to the formal alliance between Yuan Tian Sect and the three major forces.
However, in order to appease Xian Fenghai, Wang Rui suggested that Linghu Xiao could strengthen the alliance with Jianzong on behalf of Tiandao Alliance. After all, the current strength of Yuantianzong is not as strong as Tiandao Alliance. If Jianzong can get further cooperation from Tiandao Alliance, it will be great.
Fortunately, this was an unexpected surprise for Xian Fenghai.
At this time, Wang Rui no longer dealt with these mundane matters specifically, but let He Na, Lu Rover and others take charge. He just put forward some insights, which can benefit everyone a lot. However, this is also due to his current status and
His status, coupled with the fact that he has traveled to these continents and has certain connections with these sect forces, can he achieve his wish. If it were another person, even Linghu Xiao, he still would not be able to satisfy all the forces.
After Linghu Xiao had a long talk with Wang Ruichang, he understood what he meant. Although Tiandao Alliance and Yuantian Sect developed independently of each other, they had deep roots after all. By forming alliances with different forces, they could also balance the other three continents.
In this way, they can further enhance their respective strengths and continue to grow, while also retaining competition with each other.
The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is their biggest enemy. In the future, the Tiandao Alliance will definitely join forces with the Yuantian Sect to attack the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Being able to isolate them as much as possible is the best result. However, at the moment, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is still very powerful, and
They have a close relationship with the newly unified Tiantian Dynasty in the Hai Clan. Three huge forces have reappeared, and they are not limited to Dongxuan Continent, but the entire Qinglan world. The battle in the future may completely change the entire world of immortal cultivation.
After Wang Rui saw that all the forces were satisfied, he left. He would not participate in the specific details, but came to Master Cromo on the side of the camp.
Vanessa's servant brewed a cup of unique spiritual tea for each of them before leaving. Although this tea may be difficult to swallow when you first drink it, it has a refreshing and sweet effect after swallowing, which is quite magical.
Moreover, Wang Rui discovered that after drinking this tea, the spiritual power in his body seemed to be refined and became more pure, as if impurities had been removed, comparable to some top-quality elixirs.
"Master, I don't know what kind of tea this tea is. It's quite magical?" Wang Rui asked curiously.
Master Cromo put down the cup with a smile and said: "This tea is called body tempering tea. It has the effect of washing marrow, cutting bones and purifying spiritual veins. It is a specialty of my hometown. I brought some before I came here. Later,
I tried to plant it in Seibu Island, but in the end less than 30% survived. It is harvested once every ten years. The quantity is very small and it is quite precious. Even Mahayana monks have miraculous effects after drinking it. I never treat ordinary people with this tea."
"I see, since it's so precious, it's hard to ask the master for it." Wang Rui said with some regret, but a gentleman will not take away someone's beauty.
Surprisingly, Master Cromo took out a small jar from his arms, brass-colored, about as long as a little finger.
"If you like it, there are some tea seeds in it. I'll give it to you. Although I haven't planted it in Dongxuanzhou, I think the spiritual energy here is very abundant. It's much better than Xiwuzhou. Maybe it can really be done here.
Gain a piece of heaven and earth." Master Cromo looked at the jar of tea seeds with both relief and sadness. Wang Rui guessed that maybe this body-tempering tea might be related to someone.
Wang Rui took it solemnly, determined to try it now in Orchid Valley and Yuantian Sect. Since it can be effective for monks at all stages, it may be able to greatly increase the growth rate of Yuantian Sect disciples.
"Master, back then you refused to let me fulfill my promise to repay you, saying that I would wait until a certain day when I needed it. Is it appropriate now?" Wang Rui put away the body tempering tea and asked solemnly.
Master Cromo nodded and replied: "Yes, I came to you this time. On the one hand, I was entrusted by Master Sharon. My maid told me about this just now, and you really did not disappoint us. On the other hand, I came to see you."
On the one hand, it is just to fulfill the promise I made back then. I was a little embarrassed to say it at first, but now it is an opportunity. I can only say that God's will brings people."
"Master, why don't you tell me directly, what kind of request is it? I am willing to listen attentively..." Wang Rui adjusted his posture and straightened his back.
Cromo was very satisfied with his attitude, coughed, and then told the whole story.
The Qinglan World is not only people from the Qinglan World, there are also people from other mortal worlds, such as the Roland World. It is a quite distant world, but an accident, or an unknown mysterious force, at some point, opened up the world.
The connection between multiple worlds caused chaos in these connected worlds, and some monks took this opportunity to escape to other worlds.
Cromo and his lover Luna are a pair of fellow sects from the Roland world. He is the junior brother and Luna is the senior sister. The sect they belong to is a top sect that is good at refining various weapons and magic weapons.
.
Both of them have outstanding talents, but Cromo is slightly inferior to Luna, and the former has a secret affection for the latter, but has been shy to express it.
Until one day, Luna came to him in panic and told Cromo that she was secretly refining a holy treasure, but the materials were insufficient, so she stole some rare materials from the sect's secret vault. Now that the incident has been revealed, she was
When someone reported her, several core elders of the sect were furious. It was said that they had sent law enforcement elders and disciples to arrest her, so she wanted to abscond and leave the sect, but she wanted to come and say goodbye to him.
In fact, Cromo had a bright future at that time and could not have escaped with Luna. However, due to some strange combination of circumstances, he desperately vowed to escape with Luna.
Because of this, Luna was moved by Cromo and accepted his love. The two secretly became Taoist couples. They fled for nearly a hundred years and lived a very difficult life because the sect they belonged to was very powerful and dared to take them in.
The sects were also massacred one after another, so no one dared to take them in anymore.
Later, they accidentally learned about the chaos of time and space, and after a narrow escape, they broke in and arrived at Seibu Continent in the Qinglan Realm.
The two spent the next few years living happily together, but something new soon happened.
Luna was injured by an unknown force during the chaos of traveling through time and space, and her body became increasingly weak. Cromo did not hesitate to run around and tried every means, but to no avail.
In the end, his Taoist companion Luna passed away suddenly, and her beauty faded away, leaving only a semi-finished holy treasure, which is now the finished bronze carriage, called the "Car of the Backlight". It is said that as long as it is inlaid with time and space gems,
He could travel through time and space, and Cromo didn't know if it was Luna's fantasy or if it was real.
Cromo originally thought that Luna would be separated from him forever and would never be reunited. However, he did not expect that he would meet a demon cultivator from the Nine Nether Realm by chance.
Jiuyou City in the Nether Realm met Luna and told her about her appearance and characteristics, which made Cromo unable to believe it.
This demonic cultivator later died tragically at the hands of good and evil cultivators, and Cromo was also implicated. Fortunately, Ulysses, the leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect at the time, who was also Sharon's father, vouched for him.
From then on, Cromo began to want to build the car of time and then go to the Nine Nether Realm.
Although he could not find the Time Gem and could not travel through time and space to retrieve Luna, he found the Necromancer Gem through the Wanbao Pavilion and the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and had the power to open the entrance to the Nine Nether Realm. However, it seems difficult to come back.
, after all, it seems that no monks from the human world have returned from the Nine Nether Realm, so he has been hesitant and unable to make up his mind.
After hearing all this, Wang Rui couldn't help but sigh. Who would have thought that Cromo, the master craftsman, would have such a poignant past behind him, but if it were him, he would naturally spare no effort to try.
"It wasn't until I met you and Sharon told me about your experience that I realized that people like you and me are not alone in this world. There are people with the same ideas, so I finally strengthened my belief. However,
I only want to put this faith in you." Cromo looked at Wang Rui resolutely.
"Thank you, Master Cromo. How about you allow me to think about it for a few days before replying to you? In addition, besides you and me, how many people can go to this Nine Nether Realm at most? Are there any restrictions?" Wang Rui thought for a while, but still
Decided to ask more details.
Cromo quickly replied: "Besides me, you can only bring one more person, that is, the two of us. This is the maximum limit of the backlight car. If the number of people exceeds the limit, unimaginable disasters are likely to occur, and time and space will be disrupted.
I guess I have experienced some, but what Luna and I have experienced is far more terrifying than what you have experienced. It is a bottomless abyss. It seems that you are always falling. Even if you want to die, you may not be able to do it, so except for you
, I wouldn’t replace anyone.”
"I understand, master, please wait for my news." Wang Rui stood up and decided to think about it. He naturally wanted to save Miyuki. It seemed that he had no choice, but he still couldn't make an instant decision. After all, he was no longer a
He is not a person, but there is a large group of people behind and around him. His existence may be far more important than he imagined.
Cromo nodded and said: "Wang Rui, I won't force you. This is also my last wish in my lifetime. As long as we can find your disciples and my Taoist companions this time and come back alive safely, I will be your best friend in the future."
Whatever you ask for, Luna and I will do our best until death!"
Wang Rui was shocked, then nodded and walked out.
The promise just made was not unimportant, it was equivalent to repaying Wang Rui at the expense of himself and his Taoist companions. If the two divine craftsmen could join, the Yuan Tian Sect might far surpass the sect a million years later, but at that time
Will he really become the ancestor of his sect? Although he is no longer here in such a long future, but when he thinks of this, Wang Rui will have a surging heart and an uncontrollable impulse.
He saw Lei Tingzi and Chu Xiang who was tortured and dying. At this time, this person had basically lost his function. When Wang Rui said that he had a way to go to the Nine Nether Realm, Chu Xiang didn't want to believe it at all, and then he seemed to
