Chapter 85: Knowing the Cause
"Haha! That's right! I am that 'Yuan Wu'!" The "ghost", that is, Yuan Wu, looked at Li Weiyi with a smile, "I'm sorry for what I did just now. I've been lonely for more than ten years, and suddenly I met someone like me, and I felt like playing around, so... don't mind it!" At this point, Yuan Wu felt a little embarrassed.
"Are you really Senior Yuan Wu?!" Li Weiyi slowly came down, still a little bit unbelievable. The "ghost" in front of him was the first super-powerful person in the new world! And the pioneer of the Practitioner Association!
"But...Senior..." Li Weiyi pointed at Yuan Wu but couldn't say the rest of the words .
"Haha!" Yuan Wu laughed at himself and pointed at himself and said, "You want to ask, how did I become a 'ghost'?"
Li Wei nodded. Yuan Wu, as the first super-powerful person since the new era of mankind, killed ferocious beasts and led mankind to build survival bases. It can be said that if there was no Yuan Wu, it would have been much more difficult to build the survival bases at that time!
And with a spiritual pioneer like Yuan Wu, the development of human spiritual practice has been pushed to another high point!
Moreover , Yuan Wu is also the founder of the Practitioners Association!
It can be said that since the new era, no one in the world can surpass Yuan Wu’s contribution to mankind!
But such a great contributor to mankind has now become a "ghost" like this, and Li Weiyi feels a little uncomfortable.
Yuan Wu suddenly smiled mysteriously, looked at Li Weiyi and asked, "Have you ever seen a ghost?"
Li Weiyi shook his head at first, but then looked at Yuan Wu and nodded.
"You little bastard! I, Yuan Wu, am not a ghost! Moreover, I have lived for more than a hundred years and have never seen any ghosts! Maybe, there are no ghosts in this world?" Yuan Wu scolded with a smile. He naturally understood what Li Weiyi meant by nodding.
"Then senior, you...this is..." Li Weiyi looked at Yuan Wu's current appearance in confusion.
At this moment, although Yuan Wu no longer looked ferocious, he was still a vague shadow. No matter how you looked at him, he looked like the "ghost" described and acted in books and on the screen.
"My current state is the state of the soul after losing the physical body!" Yuan Wu said.
"Then how did you become like this, senior?" Li Weiyi asked curiously again.
"Boy! You have a lot of questions!" Yuan Wu glanced at Li Weiyi helplessly.
Li Weiyi shrank his head and chuckled awkwardly.
"It's a long story! Alas!" Yuan Wu sighed, then he remembered something. He looked at Li Weiyi and asked, "By the way, how did you get in here? I remember that this stone wall should be in an underground space in the center of the Dark Moon Forest. Don't tell me that our army of cultivators has already flattened the Dark Moon Forest?"
"Senior! The beasts in the Dark Moon Forest are very powerful. It is certainly impossible for us to crush them all at the moment. The reason I can come here is because of that six-tailed silver fox. He said that he wanted me to help him decipher the ancient pre-Qin characters on the stone wall. It said that there was some 'great opportunity' on it. But after I deciphered it, I didn't find the so-called 'great opportunity'. When I told the six-tailed silver fox, it didn't believe it and insisted that I should take the 'great opportunity' for myself. So we started fighting, and then I was defeated and came here injured." Li Weiyi said.
"A six-tailed silver fox? I didn't expect that after not seeing it for more than ten years, that stinky fox has grown another tail!" Yuan Wu's eyes showed memories and he murmured to himself.
"You dare to believe the words of the beast? You are really bold!" Yuan Wu looked at Li Weiyi speechlessly, and then said: "In fact, there is indeed a record of a 'great opportunity' on this stone wall."
"Huh!? Is there really a 'great opportunity'? " Li Weiyi looked at Yuan Wu with eyes wide open in surprise.
"Yes! There is indeed a 'great opportunity' recorded on it!" Yuan Wu nodded and said, "Moreover, it is at the very bottom of the stone wall. It's a pity that I cut it off."
"Hmm? It really was cut away!" Li Weiyi was surprised. He had noticed that the plane of the stone wall at the bottom was a little abnormal before, but he didn't expect that it was really cut away by someone. "Hey! Wait! Was it cut away by the senior? Then the senior is the Saint Realm powerhouse who surpassed the God Realm powerhouse mentioned by the six-tailed silver fox?"
"Senior! Are the powerful saint?" Li Weiyi asked in surprise.
"Oh? How do you know that I am a powerful saint? Oh! That's right! It must have been that stinky fox who said it, right?" Yuan Wu chuckled and shook his head.
"Well! That stinky fox also said that you sat in front of this stone wall for ten years, and that you were struck to pieces by thunder while undergoing a heavenly tribulation." Li Weiyi said.
"Haha! This stinky fox, although I am not scared to death, it is almost the same. I have to start from the beginning." Yuan Wu said.
Then, Yuan Wu told Li Weiyi what happened during that period of time.
It turned out that Yuan Wu had already broken through to the Saint Realm more than 20 years ago. After that, Yuan Wu went to the sea and found the king of the sea, a giant octopus beast who called himself "Dragon Tyrant".
Naturally, a fierce battle broke out between the two!
However, the result of that battle was that Yuan Wu was defeated by the giant octopus beast "Long Ba"!
Afterwards, Yuan Wu fled the sea and returned to land, looking for an opportunity to go one step further and eliminate the number one threat to mankind, "Dragon Tyrant".
A few years later, Yuan Wu set foot in the Dark Moon Forest and found the silver fox, which had five tails at the time. Yuan Wu wanted to kill it, but the silver fox said that it knew a secret place and would tell Yuan Wu where it was if he didn't kill it.
At that time, Yuan Wu was looking for his own opportunity in order to further advance in his cultivation, so he agreed to Silver Fox.
Then, Yuan Wu was brought by the Silver Fox to the bottom of the stone wall in this underground space.
Yuan Wu had also studied these ancient texts, so he naturally knew the contents recorded in them.
And at the very bottom of the stone wall, the piece that was cut off by Yuan Wu, records a great opportunity!
The piece that was originally cut off by Yuan Wu actually recorded a set of ancient cultivation techniques called "Xuantian Gong".
The reason why Yuan Wu sat in front of the stone wall for ten years was to practice Xuantian Gong.
And this place is located in the center of the Dark Moon Forest, the lair of the king-level ferocious beasts. Yuan Wu naturally could not let these ferocious beasts know about the human cultivation methods, so Yuan Wu shaved off the part at the bottom of the stone wall that recorded the Xuantian Gong.
And during these ten years, Yuan Wu's cultivation gradually reached the perfection of the holy realm.
Just when Yuan Wu was about to go overseas again to find the octopus beast "Long Ba" for a decisive battle, he suddenly felt a sense of alertness in his heart that he was about to undergo a tribulation.
There was no preparation at all, and Yuan Wu had no idea what tribulations he would have to overcome on the road of cultivation!
Therefore, before they could figure out what was going on, the thunder had already started falling.
Yuan Wu only managed to withstand seven heavenly thunders before his body was destroyed by the eighth thunder, and his soul was sucked into the stone wall.
Yuan Wu stayed inside this stone wall for more than ten years, relying entirely on the earth's essence liquid in the small pool to maintain his immortal soul.
And that small pool of earth vein essence fluid was also consumed by Yuan Wu, leaving only a shallow layer at the bottom of the pool.
"This is why I am here. However, I still can't figure out why my soul was sucked into this stone wall. I always thought that this stone wall only affects the soul, but after seeing you, this idea is naturally shattered." As he spoke, the phantom of Yuan Wu's soul sat cross-legged on the ground.
Yuan Wu sat cross-legged on the ground, so Li Weiyi naturally couldn't stand anymore. If he did that, wouldn't it be disrespectful to let the predecessor who made great contributions to human survival look up at him?
So Li Weiyi also sat cross-legged opposite Yuan Wu.
"Boy! Tell me how you got in here?" Yuan Wu asked.
"Senior! I don't know how I was sucked in. I only remember that after being knocked away by the six-tailed silver fox, I hit the stone wall and then fell to the ground. Then a strong light flashed and I appeared in the white mist." Li Weiyi recalled. After he finished speaking, Li Weiyi raised his eyebrows and remembered something. "Oh, right! Senior! At that time, I saw my blood sprayed onto the stone wall. Could it be because of the blood?"
"Yes! It is very likely! Did I also have blood spilled on the stone wall more than ten years ago? Probably not. When I was undergoing the tribulation, I was outside, not in this cave." After saying this, Yuan Wu began to talk to himself in a low voice.
"Oh! Don't think about those troublesome things!" Yuan Wu shook his illusory head, then looked at Li Weiyi again and said, "Boy! I've been talking for so long, but I still don't know who you are!"
"Oh! It was my negligence! My name is Li Weiyi, I live in Survival Base No. 7, and I have joined the Practitioners Association. I am currently a member of the East District Practitioners Association of Survival Base No. 7!" Li Weiyi introduced himself.
"Haha! You are from the Practitioners Association? Then we are really destined to meet! Alas! I wonder how the Practitioners Association I founded is doing now after more than ten years?" Yuan Wu looked at Li Weiyi. The Practitioners Association can be said to be his life's work. He really does not want such an organization to decline.
"Senior! Our Cultivator Association is currently one of the three major forces in the world! Moreover, if we talk about top combat power, our Cultivator Association has three super strong people! The Union Government and the Merchant Alliance each have only one super strong person! If we only talk about top combat power, our Cultivator Association is stronger than the Union Government and the Merchant Alliance!" Li Weiyi said proudly. He was really proud to be a member of the Cultivator Association. After all, the Cultivator Association has three of the world's five super strong people!
"Oh!? In the past ten years or so, the Practitioners Association has become even stronger!" Yuan Wu was a little surprised.
Although Yuan Wu had long since stopped managing the Association of Practitioners over a decade ago, he knew all of the Association's actions. At that time, the Association had only one other super-powerful person in charge, Zhuge Yuanlong. Now, more than a decade later, the Association has three super-powerful people in charge, and has made great progress.
