Chapter 411: She Has Been to the Real World
The girl is the founder of the underworld.
After watching these scenes, Lin Ye's expression was unclear.
There is no doubt about this.
During the era of Martial Ancestor, the souls of the dead had nowhere to go, so they turned into evil spirits and wreaked havoc on the world.
Even someone as powerful as Wu Zu was helpless in the face of these evil spirits.
The reason is that as long as there are people, there will be ghosts.
Even if Wu Zu killed all the ghosts, new ghosts would appear soon.
Because everyone will die.
But questions also faced Lin Ye.
The girl created the underworld to accommodate the ghosts of the world.
But this was different from the underworld he knew.
The girl did not mention the Ten Kings of Hell, the ghost messengers in the underworld... and the most important reincarnation.
Is it because the underworld has not yet been created, or is it because the scene ends here, that I was unable to see the girl’s construction of the underworld.
As for the person the girl asked Wu Zu to find, Lin Ye had already guessed it. It was probably the little boy on the stone wall.
Unfortunately, I am not that little boy.
In addition, another thing that confused Lin Ye was what kind of existence those gods were.
It is obvious that these gods are not the immortals in heaven of Taoism, nor are they the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas of Buddhism, but another kind of existence.
According to these gods, the girl is of the same kind as them.
What does this same kind of existence mean?
The same race, or does it refer to strength?
The most crucial question is why the stone wall allowed him to see these images.
Do you want me to help find that little boy?
While Lin Ye was thinking, the golden talisman paper appeared in his palm again, and at the same time, all the words and patterns on the stone wall disappeared.
Lin Ye was not surprised. The biggest benefit that the last few patterns on the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall brought him was the more than 10,000 years of idle time.
As for any martial arts techniques, the Martial Ancestor did not leave any behind.
Lin Ye understood what Wu Zu meant.
After reaching the level of Martial Saint, you have to walk your own path.
Those who learn from others will live, those who resemble others will die.
Before becoming a Martial Saint, you can learn other people’s martial arts training paths, but after becoming a Martial Saint, there are no shortcuts to take, and you cannot follow other people’s paths, otherwise you will end up in a dead end.
You have to figure everything out on your own.
The Martial Ancestor gave himself ten thousand years, which was already the greatest blessing.
Lin Ye withdrew his gaze from the stone wall, and his soul returned to his body.
Lao Shi’s voice rang in my mind for the first time.
"Lin boy, you're back so soon? That's not right. Your strength hasn't changed at all. This shouldn't be the case."
Lao Shi felt Lin Ye's soul returning, and his voice was filled with surprise. In his opinion, if one could become a Martial Saint after observing the first four pictures on the Zhenwu Transmission Wall, then after observing the remaining five pictures, one would at least have to have the strength of a Void God Realm.
"You didn't pass the level, didn't you see the body of this god?"
"No."
“You didn’t fail any level, did you?” There was contempt in Lao Shi’s tone. Lin Ye’s mouth twitched. Was he that bad?
"I saw the third pawn shop and a young girl."
Lin Ye did not hide it from Lao Shi and briefly recounted the scenes he saw.
"Girl... the underworld... and those gods..."
Lao Shi's voice was very solemn, and after a while he smiled bitterly and said, "I don't know who that girl is, but in the real world, there is a legendary god with the same color as the girl."
"The Queen Mother of the Earth."
Before Lao Shi could finish his words, Lin Ye spoke first.
In fact, the moment he saw the girl creating the underworld, what came to his mind was the myth and legend about Hou Tu Niangniang in the real world.
Legend has it that Hou Tu Niangniang transformed herself into the underworld and created the six realms of reincarnation.
The girl's behavior is somewhat similar to the story of Hou Tu Niangniang, the difference is that this girl only created the underworld and did not create the six realms of reincarnation.
"I'm not sure about the girl's identity, but I can be sure of one thing, the girl has been to the world we live in." Lao Shi said affirmatively.
"Where's the evidence?"
"As a disciple of the Dao Sect, you don't even know this." Lao Shi said in an incredible tone: "When the Dao Ancestor entered the Dao Sect, he said that he had a woman as his teacher who could glimpse the true meaning of the Dao. If I'm not mistaken, the woman the Dao Ancestor was talking about is this girl."
Lin Ye really didn't know that the Taoist sect had this passage about the Taoist Ancestor, but he still wondered, "It's too arbitrary to just rely on this point."
"What a bullshit! Don't forget that the girl disappeared in the other world for a while. It is very likely that she went to other worlds to find a solution. The girl said that she met two interesting people. These two people will complete the underworld."
"In Taoism, there are the Ten Kings of Hell and the Judge of the Underworld... In Buddhism, there is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who personally goes into the underworld to suppress the eighteen levels of hell and save all the ghosts in the underworld."
"The two interesting people the girl mentioned should be Daozu and Buddha."
Lin Ye was stunned. He was shocked by Lao Shi's guess.
Could the two interesting people the girl mentioned be Taoism and Buddha, the two eternal beings in the legend?
"Lin, I have a conclusion now. The history of this world may be even longer than we imagined. Twenty thousand years is just what you saw about the Martial Ancestor. Maybe there are another hundred thousand years or even a million years before that..."
Lao Shi's serious words made Lin Ye fall into deep thought.
If this world has existed for much longer than other worlds, doesn't that mean that this world may exist even longer than the world where the Taoist and Buddha existed?
Lao Shi's guess is not impossible, because no matter whether the girl or the Martial Ancestor appears, there is no Buddha or Taoism in this world.
Buddhism and Taoism both entered this world before Martial Ancestor died.
"Lin, these things are still far from you. If you want to understand the truth, you should first cultivate to the Void God Realm. Since you have 10,000 years of retreat time, don't waste it."
Lin Ye understood what Lao Shi meant and decided to practice in the other world for a few thousand years first.
"Let's leave here first."
Lin Ye looked at the completely disappeared Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall and said helplessly, "If the people in the Zhenwu Palace knew that the Zhenwu Power Transmission Wall was gone, I wonder if they would come after me and kill me."
"Even if they want to fight you, it's impossible. The Zhenwu Palace is about to be destroyed?"
Zhenwu Temple is gone?
At first Lin Ye didn't quite understand what Lao Shi meant, but when he walked out of the cliff and came to the back mountain, he saw the mess on the ground and finally understood what Lao Shi meant.
Zhenwu Palace suffered a thunder disaster.
"Zhenwu Palace and those martial saint predecessors withstood this thunder calamity."
Lin Ye learned from Bai Jinye that the moment he made his choice, there would be a divine punishment from the outside world, but he didn't expect it to be so terrifying.
As the largest sect in Qingzhou, with a Martial Saint in charge, and even thirteen Martial Saints who walked out of the Zhenwu Wall, it took so many people working together to withstand this thunder calamity.
Lin Ye saw Feng Buyao, the Martial Saint of Zhenwu Temple, on the hill behind the cliff.
"I'm coming up."
At this moment, Feng Buyao was like a candle in the wind, with all the energy and blood in her body dissipated and exhausted. Lin Ye looked at Feng Buyao and didn't know what to say.
"I have lived long enough. Elder Lin, there is no need to grieve for me."
Perhaps seeing Lin Ye's expression, Feng Buyao smiled, but this smile made his whole face wrinkled, making him look even older.
"You don't have to feel ashamed. This is the mission of our Zhenwu Hall. From the moment the Zhenwu Hall was founded, we have been prepared for this. The disciples of the Zhenwu Hall have enjoyed the resources given by the sect, so they should shoulder this mission. This is their fate."
"You don't need to tell me what you got under the cliff. The ancestor said that if there is such a disaster, the back mountain will be sealed as a forbidden area and no one will be allowed to enter."
"Elder Lin, please go. Zhenwu Temple is about to close its doors."
Feng Buyao said a lot in one breath , and told Lin Ye many interesting stories about Zhenwu Palace, and even his past. An hour later, Lin Ye went down the mountain.
Shortly after Lin Ye went down the mountain, Zhenwu Temple officially announced to the public that the gate of Zhenwu Temple was closed.
A bleak rain began to fall from the sky.
"Lao Shi, some people say that I am a jinx. Whichever sect I join will suffer..."
"Fuck, it looks like you're really in danger. Almost all the sects you officially joined are gone, but the Zhenwu Palace is still around, thanks to the fact that you're just a guest elder."
Lin Ye told Lao Shi some stories about his time in the other world, from the first few sects he joined after being teleported here, to the god-level sect that came later, and even the current Zhenwu Temple.
It seems that no sect can have a good ending.
"Lao Shi, before I go into seclusion, I want to see my two soul clones."
After hearing Lin Ye's words, Lao Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he replied: "It's time to go and have a look. If it's the same as you, I'm afraid..."
I’m afraid Lao Shi didn’t say the rest of the words, but Lin Ye naturally understood them.
If it is the same as mine, I am afraid that the sect that I sent my two soul clones to has now been destroyed and no longer exists.
That is a sin.
…
…
Backer Sect.
"Fortunately, the whole family was not wiped out."
Arriving at the foot of the mountain gate of Kaoshan Sect, Lin Ye breathed a sigh of relief. From the buildings on the mountain and the plaque of Kaoshan Sect at the foot of the mountain, Lin Ye was sure that Kaoshan Sect still existed and had not been destroyed.
Lin Ye's figure changed slightly, and soon his face turned into that of a middle-aged man.
The gate of Kaoshan Sect was guarded by disciples, but with Lin Ye's strength, these disciples could not find him. Soon Lin Ye locked onto the location of his soul clone.
"Brother Li, there is a market at the foot of the mountain today. It is very lively. Do you want to go to the market?"
"No, I have reached a bottleneck in my cultivation recently and need to retreat for a while."
"Brother Li, today our sect has invited a master of alchemy to give a lecture. Would you like to go and listen?"
"I have no talent for alchemy, so I'd better not waste my time."
In front of a cave on a mountain, a handsome man was studying a book. Facing the female disciples who came to invite him from time to time, the man politely declined all of them.
"It seems that my soul clone is also very self-disciplined." Lin Ye was very satisfied with the behavior of his soul clone. As a cultivator, how could he delay his cultivation in the early stages because of lusting after beauty?
"Junior Brother Li, in my opinion, you'd better hang a sign at the door saying 'Female disciples are not allowed to approach', otherwise you will never have peace."
A man came out from the cave next door and joked.
"Thank you for your advice, I'll do it right away."
Seeing his clone hurriedly looking for a wooden board, Lin Ye smiled and said to Lao Shi: "My clone is still a straight man."
"Boy, listen carefully, did your clone just say anything?"
What Lin Ye didn't expect was that Lao Shi didn't respond to his words, but instead asked a question in a very serious tone.
