Chapter 746 When I Come Back...
The Fifth Liuli's posture at this moment was a little difficult.
It wasn't because the World-Destroying Demon had caused him any trouble. As the number one physical cultivator in the Ku Mu Realm, it wasn't a big problem for him to single-handedly kill a demon that had been weakened for a thousand years.
Although the Fifth Liuli Xiu's skills are very mysterious.
But just looking at the fact that he can "compete" with the old demon Saint Xiaofeng, who has extremely lethal power, several times a month, you will know that this guy is definitely very capable.
The difficulty he is facing right now is more on the psychological level.
As the head of the Mingli Academy of the Immortal Alliance, it is his duty to suppress evil spirits, it is his mission to guard the Demon-Suppressing Tower, and it is his job to lead all the monks of the Mingli Academy.
But today, he failed to fulfill his duties, betrayed his mission and disrupted the work.
Although he had not had much contact with this Immortal Lord, from the information Lao Jiang had learned from various channels, there was no doubt that Diwu Liuli was a true body cultivator.
It means that you stick to your principles, don't like conspiracies or intrigues, and seek to do things in an upright manner.
The fact that he had been able to walk through the sea of suffering for hundreds of years proved that he was extremely determined in the Dao, but today, he violated his own style of doing things and his own morality.
This is definitely more painful than getting injured or failing.
But if all this was a compromise for something more important, then perhaps the dean had a way to convince himself.
It was his first child after all.
Moreover, given the character of the Fifth Liuli, it is estimated that he would not regard the blood descendants as a burden or an object that can be sacrificed at will like the other monsters in the sea of suffering.
A real man always knows the difference in this matter.
Even though I know there is no perfect solution, I always try to find a way to have the best of both worlds like a naive child.
If something is really impossible, I will risk my life and try my best to protect everything I want to protect.
Lao Jiang has never been a parent.
But he could probably figure it out and understand it.
Facing the Immortal Venerable Liuli in front of him, Lao Jiang did not hesitate for too long. He raised his left hand and made a swearing gesture. He did not let the Immortal Venerable wait too long, nor did he make any excessive demands.
"If I can really find what everyone is hoping I'll find, then I'll definitely come back to fulfill my promise."
Lao Jiang said so.
With a hint of sincerity.
The naked Liuli Immortal Venerable in front of him glanced at him with an unfriendly look. He said:
"I always feel like I've been at a disadvantage. I risked my faith being shattered, only to get a promise that I'm not sure I can fulfill. Oh, no matter how I think about it, I feel like I've been at a disadvantage."
He turned the Fang Tian Hua Ji in his hand and gestured in front of Lao Jiang, as if he was considering where to stab so as to cause the greatest pain to Jiang Xia without killing him.
Boss Jiang seems very open and frank at this moment.
He didn't put up any resistance.
Instead, he reached out his hand, stroked the little yellow flower on his collar, and began to talk about an old story. He said:
"Immortal Venerable, you and Elder Sanbao of my sect, as well as Niu Sansheng of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, are all ascended beings from the same world, right? When I first started practicing, I encountered evil deeds by evil cultivators in Fengming Country and asked for help from Sanbao.
In the end, it was you, the Immortal Venerable, who was in charge of that matter?"
"Ah, about that request from Cha Sanbao. As I remember, it wasn't a big deal. It was just a message for someone."
Diwu Liuli put away his Fang Tian Hua Ji, brushed his black hair, and said:
“I have some kinship with his ancestors in my hometown, but according to the time of that world, it was more than 3,000 years ago.
I was one of the first group of cultivators who were accepted into the Bitter Wood Realm to practice when your master led his disciples to explore the star sea. I am an absolute genius, but of course, I am still not as good as you.
After two years of practice, one will enter the realm of seeking the Tao..."
Liuli Immortal Venerable glanced at Lao Jiang, curled his lips and said:
"It's simply a monstrosity. It's certain that there has never been one before, and there probably won't be one after."
"My situation cannot be considered normal."
Boss Jiang was still a bit shrewd, and replied modestly, and then said to Diwu Liuli:
"When the Immortal Master helped me, it may seem like a piece of cake to you, but it was life-saving to me at the time. I would like to formally thank you here."
"When I said you don't need to care, I mean you don't need to care."
The master waved his hand, sighed, and said:
"Sanbao and the others must hate me to death. As a senior, I was nurtured by the land and water there and have cultivated to this day, but I knew something was wrong there and I didn't go to help.
Although I am not as ruthless as they think, there is nothing much to explain.
I just want to ask you, is my old place still there?"
“No more.”
Boss Jiang touched the little yellow flower on his collar again. This action made Diwu Liuli notice the little flower that was not easy to perceive. He seemed to sense something.
His lips moved, but he remained silent in the end.
"But in the end, I sent some of them to a safe place."
Lao Jiang said softly:
"If we can make it through, they will also have a new future. I heard from Hanhan that the people over there are still saying that there was an immortal who ascended to heaven in their world more than 3,000 years ago.
Even when they were going through the most difficult times, they never forgot you, Immortal Lord.
If I have time and opportunity in the future, I will go back with my wife and children to visit them."
"Um."
The Fifth Liuli nodded.
The atmosphere was a little heavy for a moment.
But just as the old Immortal Chan Yi said that night, some things cannot be distinguished as right or wrong. If you insist on making a clear distinction between black and white, you will only be causing trouble for yourself.
"Go ahead."
Immortal Liuli, leaning on his Fang Tian Huaji, moved aside to make way for Lao Jiang. In front of him was the Sin Abyss. After crossing the last mountain and waterfall covered with seals, he was about to enter the endless demonic realm.
Jiang Xia held the Xuantian sword and walked forward a few steps.
He looked back at the world of Kumu Realm behind him, pursed his lips and said:
"I would like to ask Daozu to help me with one last thing."
These words were said to Taoist Ancestor Fushi.
At this point, there was no need for Lao Jiang to say more. Daozu also knew what kind of favor this annoying Lao Jiang wanted him to help with. Above the Sin Abyss, dark clouds surged.
Purple-gold lightning flashed and jumped in the clouds. These were calamity clouds.
Old Jiang wanted to complete his breakthrough from the spiritual cultivation realm to the Tao-seeking realm above the Sin Abyss . The World Fruit from the M World that he had just eaten was continuously supplying the spiritual energy of a large spiritual world to Jiang Xia.
The pure cultivation in his body has reached that bottleneck.
After that, he could not return to Ku Mu Realm. Without similar rules of heaven and earth, it was almost impossible for Lao Jiang to achieve a breakthrough in realm in other worlds.
So, this can be regarded as the final preparation before departure.
"Good boy, you really have an imagination to survive the Sin Abyss Tribulation."
When Diwu Liuli saw this scene, he immediately withdrew.
It's not that he's afraid, he just doesn't want to interfere with Lao Jiang's tribulation. A great man like him, who is in the sea of suffering, is under the tribulation cloud, which will trigger resonance between heaven and earth, and will at least increase the thunder tribulation by seven or eight times.
At that time, Lao Jiang would definitely not be able to hold on, and even he, a physical cultivator, might be implicated.
"Stay, it's okay."
When Boss Jiang saw the head of the Liuliyuan was about to leave, he said with a playful smile:
"Don't be afraid, I have someone above me, and everything has been settled. Immortal, come over here, let's bathe in the thunder and lightning together and have a chat. Have you chosen a name for your child?
Do you want me to give you some advice or something?"
"Crash"
As he was talking, the first lightning struck down, hitting Lao Jiang on the forehead, causing him to see stars in front of his eyes. Perhaps the Taoist felt that this guy was too disrespectful to the heavenly tribulation, so he gave him a lesson.
But starting from the second thunder tribulation, the scene became much gentler, just like a gentle breeze blowing on your face.
It's just a process anyway.
Above the Abyss of Sin, bathing in thunder and lightning, Lao Jiang, with his arms outstretched, seemed to still hear the magnetic voice he had heard once before, which sounded like that of a reliable senior.
He is asking:
"After passing the first three stages of cultivation, going forward, cultivation is about cultivating the Tao and the mind. Jiang Xia, Jiang Ziheng, let me ask you, can you find the Tao heart?"
"If I say no, I'm afraid the Taoist will send down thunder and fire to destroy me."
Lao Jiang laughed.
Then, in the midst of thunder, his face turned serious. He looked up at the sky with dark clouds above his head, watching the thunder that was extremely fierce when it fell, but became as comfortable as soaking in warm water when it hit his body.
explain:
"I have a heart for Taoism, but I didn't find it on my own. It was only after I walked around the Kumu Realm and the surrounding star fields that I finally figured it out.
I was reborn in the Ku Mu Realm, entered the immortal path, and walked in the sea of stars. This was all arranged.
Someone wanted me to see these sufferings, and he also gave me the power to change all of this. The most commendable thing is that he did not force me to do it.
He gave me the choice and the power to quit.
I can ignore all this, just pretend I didn't see it, and live my life behind closed doors. If I hadn't messed things up, perhaps the Bitter Wood Realm Sin Abyss could have lasted for a few more decades.
If I had lived through this as a mortal, when the abyss of sin erupted, I would have had no choice but to children and grandchildren and to be buried peacefully.
That is also a kind of life, maybe much easier than it is now.
But I still took this path.
I was led onto this path by my sect, my master, my head, and my great master. The more I see, the more I can't convince myself to turn a blind eye.
The more I heard, the more honored I felt for the choice I made.
People like you two, like giants, are truly great men. No matter in which world or civilization, you are absolutely qualified to be recorded in history and called saints.
I am really honored to be able to participate in the same thing with you and have the opportunity to save a world and a group of stars from the end of the world.
Maybe I should thank the person who sent me here.
I should thank you too.
From the moment I opened my eyes in Ku Mu Realm to now, two years have passed, and I have gone through a period of time that I never dared to imagine before.
This is probably my heart of Tao.”
Lao Jiang took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and said:
"I want to finish this matter. As a person, you must always have a beginning and an end. When facing the matter of the Lord of the Wasteland, I can't handle it alone. The giant has his task, and you two have your tasks.
I have my mission too.
I will be that dove and send the olive branch to every world shrouded in darkness, telling them that they don't need to be afraid anymore.
I also hope that my story will have a good ending, and I hope even more that after the ending, my life can continue.
This is my heart of Tao.
As for things like the power of the Great Dao, that is not something I can choose, it has already been arranged for me... Perhaps, in the future I will be a courier traveling between the stars.
But, this kind of life is not that unpleasant. "
"Well, it's really plain and simple."
Taoist Master Fushi chuckled, and Lao Jiang heard the sound of chess pieces falling onto the chessboard. Then, he heard Lady Xixin interrupt and say:
"Xiao Jiang, next time you come back, you'd better bring something we hope to see. Otherwise, Fushi may not care, but I will definitely beat you up.
I am a person with a very small mind."
"I will obey your Majesty's order."
Boss Jiang responded with exaggerated movements and tone, causing Empress Xixin to chuckle a few times.
At the end of the laughter, a spark of electric arc fell from the sky, like a drop of water into a pond, causing a few ripples in Jiang Xia's sea of consciousness, which also marked the completion of the breakthrough.
However, the breakthrough from the Spirit Cultivation Realm to the Dao Seeking Realm did not show such exaggerated improvement in cultivation and supernatural powers as before.
It was just that the prototype of an entire sea of consciousness was created in Lao Jiang's sea of consciousness, which meant that he had also reached the stage of creating his own world of great avenue.
Once the world is reshaped and the power of the Great Dao is mastered, one can enter the Sea of Bitterness.
The most important thing in this stage is your determination to follow the Tao. As long as you have a firm mind, you can make rapid progress. As for the inner demon tribulation that everyone fears, Lao Jiang just said he hehe.
"Then I'm leaving."
Boss Jiang leaped into the abyss of sin and was enveloped by evil spirits. When he looked back for the last time, he waved to the sky above his head.
Wait for me to come back.
I will bring back hope.
