Chapter 248: What is the crystallisation of the law?
When he heard the words 'Law Crystal', even Pei Yi couldn't help but shrink his pupils.
Who would have thought that there would be a law crystal in a place like Lingyue Secret Realm!
This is the crystallization of the law, something that many monks dream of obtaining.
Low-level monks may not know how valuable Law Crystal is, but high-level monks will have heard of it even if they have never seen it.
The so-called law crystal will only appear in the monk's sea of consciousness after the monk understands the relatively complete law.
In the world of immortality, monks who can understand the laws and condense the crystallization of the laws can be described as rare.
Each of them is a peerless genius in the world.
It can be said that as long as they do not perish along the way, they will definitely be able to achieve enlightenment and ascend.
Even after ascension, the starting point will be much higher than that of ordinary immortals.
In the same realm, monks who have understood the laws and monks who have not understood the laws are not at the same level.
After figuring out what the Law Crystal was, Xu Tao had more questions in her mind.
"But dad, since this law crystal is in the monk's sea of consciousness, how could it end up in the secret realm of Lingyue?
Could it be that many years ago, a monk who condensed the law crystal died in the secret realm of Lingyue!"
Just like those eminent Buddhist monks who leave relics after their death, will monks who have understood the law leave behind the crystallization of the law they understood during their lifetime?
Xu Wuya nodded, "As far as I know, more than two thousand years ago, a tribulation monk who was gifted with crystallization of laws entered the Spirit Moon Secret Realm.
Rumor has it that the reason why he entered the Lingyue Secret Realm was to find a weapon refining material in the secret realm to refine a magic weapon that could withstand the catastrophe of ascension.
But not long after the monk entered the Lingyue Secret Realm, he was plotted against by his trusted friends and enemies in the secret realm, and even died.
The monk understood a law during his lifetime and has already condensed the law into crystallization.
The people who plotted against him probably also went there for that law crystal.
It’s just that there may have been some accident in the middle, and the law crystal did not fall into the hands of those people, but instead disappeared in the secret realm.”
"Two thousand years ago? Wasn't that the time when Lan Xiaoyu disappeared in the secret realm!"
"What happened that year? Why did the law crystal fall into Lan Xiaoyu's hands?
I remember that Meng Qingying and her two senior brothers had been looking for something from Lan Xiaoyu from the beginning, and what they wanted should be this law crystal.
And Lan Xiaoyu is obviously a human, but when I saw her, she had a pair of fox ears. I am really becoming more and more curious about what happened back then."
What happened to make a good person become half human and half beast?
Moreover, Lan Xiaoyu clearly only had the cultivation level of golden elixir back then. How on earth did she survive for two thousand years?
The life span of the Golden elixir monk is only five hundred years, but she has lived in the secret realm for more than two thousand years.
Is her longevity related to these changes in her body?
Pei Yi stood silently aside, Xu Tao's doubts were also his doubts.
Unfortunately, he thought for a long time along the way and could not come up with an answer.
Maybe Taoist Wuya will know something.
"If I guessed correctly, after the tribulation monk died, the law crystal that originally belonged to him should have fallen into the hands of Meng Weichun.
Back then, Meng Weichun was just a golden elixir. At that time, he probably couldn't recognize what this law crystal was.
But that person was very smart and knew that anything that could attract the Tribulation Stage monks to snatch it must be a good thing.
He was afraid that it would be unsafe to take him out, so he persuaded Lan Xiaoyu, who was infatuated with him, to help him stay in the secret realm to guard the law crystal.
Meng Weichun was really quick-witted and could think of such a solution in such a short period of time.
If he had taken the Law Crystal out back then, he might not be alive now."
Meng Weichun's thoughts are not difficult to guess. Even if Xu Wuya's guess is not completely correct, it is definitely close to ten.
"Then how did Lan Xiaoyu change into the ghostly appearance before?" Xu Tao asked again.
"Hey..." If you want to know this, I know.
The little fox's voice suddenly appeared. It turned out that this little guy had also been listening to the conversation of Xu Tao and his daughter, and he was still listening very enthusiastically.
"You know?" Xu Tao looked at the little fox with some surprise.
Xu Wuya and Pei Yi both knew that Xu Tao could understand the language of spirit beasts, so they were not surprised, nor did they draw any attention to the exchange between one person and one fox.
The little fox Bai Qian told Xu Tao her guess.
According to the little fox, spiritual beasts are born with stronger vitality than humans, and their lifespans are much longer than humans.
Some monks who are nearing the end of their lifespan will use some secret method to seize the body of a spiritual beast and transform into a half-human, half-animal being, thereby gaining more longevity.
It's just that this kind of body-snatcher across races has no future, and he will definitely not survive the thunder tribulation of ascension in the future.
Ordinary body snatchers are at best stronger than the Ascension Thunder Tribulation, but so far no one of these cross-race body-seizing spiritual beast monks has been able to withstand the Ascension Thunder Tribulation and succeed in ascension.
After all, if you can even give up your own race, how can Heaven treat such a person?
"So it was Lan Xiaoyu who took away a spiritual beast in order to survive!" Xu Tao also heard for the first time that people cultivated the practice of taking away spiritual beasts.
She had also seen such plots in time travel novels.
However, those were the protagonists who were reborn into some kind of beast from the beginning, and I have never seen any protagonist take the initiative to seize the beast without being a good person.
"No, I'm afraid this has nothing to do with Lan Xiaoyu, it should be Meng Weichun's handiwork.
He should have planned from the beginning that he would not come to retrieve the law crystal until after the tribulation.
He knew that just five hundred years would not be enough for him to cultivate enough to overcome the tribulation.
In order to give Lan Xiaoyu enough life to wait for his return, he might have captured a spiritual beast for Lan Xiaoyu and taught Lan Xiaoyu the secret method of seizing the spiritual beast.
If my guess is correct, that spiritual beast may be the real owner of the cave where Lan Xiaoyu was trapped." Pei Yi expressed his guess.
"How can you be sure that this is not Lan Xiaoyu's intention?" Xu Wuya's eyes flashed with amusement.
Pei Yi said: "If Lan Xiaoyu took the initiative to seize her body because her longevity was exhausted, Meng Weichun would not have known that she was still alive.
From their conversations, Meng Weichun knew from the beginning that Lan Xiaoyu was still alive.
This is enough to show that he was aware of Lan Xiaoyu's condition at that time."
"Is that Lan Xiaoyu stupid? Meng Weichun asked her to stay in Lingyue Secret Realm, and she really stayed there to guard the crystallization of the law for him for more than two thousand years.
After being trapped for so long, all she wants to do is reunite with him after she goes out. How much does she love Meng Weichun!"
