Chapter Five Hundred and Eighth: Cultivation Breakthrough!
Zhou Yang figured it out.
He never thought about being a good person, and he never thought about being a bad person.
He just wants to be an ordinary person who has justice in his heart and believes in justice, but he may not be able to pursue justice.
Killing people and seizing treasures is evil. He admitted that he was a bad person this time.
Realizing that he is doing evil and hating doing such evil is a sign of his righteousness.
Doing evil is not the most terrible thing, the most terrible thing is doing evil but not thinking it is evil.
Those demonic monks have done countless evil things, but they are still able to turn elixirs into babies and survive the "inner demon tribulation". It is precisely because they never think that there is anything wrong with the evil things they have done, and they naturally have no apology or any guilt in their hearts.
Regret means regret.
Zhou Yang is not a demon cultivator, so it is impossible for him to take this path.
But he cannot let this experience of killing people and seizing treasures become an obstacle to his future cultivation path.
Therefore, he chose another path to free his mind.
"If I do evil once, I will do good a hundred times; if I kill one person indiscriminately, I will save a hundred people!"
"Although good and evil cannot offset each other, I hope that my heart will be at peace!"
Do evil once, do good a hundred times, kill one person, and save a hundred people.
This is undoubtedly an act of self-deception.
Because evil is evil and good is good.
A person who has done good deeds a hundred times cannot be called a good person even if he does evil once.
A person who does evil a hundred times cannot be called a good person even if he does good once.
But when you deceive yourself and others, you are deceiving yourself, just for the sake of peace of mind.
If the mind is restless, the spirit will be restless. If the spirit is restless, the Qi will be weak. If the Qi is weak, the person will get sick.
If a cultivator cannot even achieve peace of mind, mind, and energy, how can he still practice?
Zhou Yang knew in his heart that if he had to commit murder and seize the treasure once, he would definitely do it countless times in the future. As long as he wanted to improve his cultivation and break through to a higher level, there was no way he would not fight for it.
But he also didn't want to become a pure evil person like a bandit and robber.
Human nature is so contradictory, but this is also the brilliance of human nature.
Humans are not beasts. In addition to their survival instincts, they also have moral existence.
Only those who have moral restraint and a moral heart can become truly strong.
Zhou Yang set himself the principle of "do evil once and do good a hundred times, kill one person and save a hundred people", which is the embodiment of his morality.
Even if the general trend of the world of immortality is like this, even if the general trend of heaven and earth is like this, he still has to guard his little conscience in the wave of the general trend.
After seeing his true nature clearly, Zhou Yang no longer had any doubts and hesitations, and his heart immediately became calm.
In the next half year, he protected Jiang Fengxian, who had broken through seclusion, while refining the magical weapons he had been given.
After the old man died, the gong instrument he used was assigned to Zhou Yang.
This gong magic weapon and the short stick magic weapon are a set, named "Zhentian Bronze Gong", which is an extremely rare fifth-level middle-grade sound attack magic weapon.
This magical weapon has little effect on physically powerful monsters, but it is a sharp weapon for immortal cultivators who are not body-refining cultivators.
The sound of the gong cannot be isolated and resisted by ordinary means. If you have not prepared relevant defensive means in advance, or if you have special magical powers in your own practice, when the gong sounds, you will be as heartbroken as Jiang Fengxian at that time.
, the strength is greatly reduced.
It took some time to refining the magic weapon in this way, and in the remaining time, Zhou Yang used the weapon refining technique to repair the scars on the fifth-level tiger puppet beast.
Of course, his weapon refining skills are not enough to refine a fifth-level puppet beast, but there is still no problem if he only does some repair work.
More than half a year later, Jiang Fengxian used the effect of the "Enlightenment Xuanzhen Fruit" to successfully break through and be promoted to the fourth level of the Golden Elixir, becoming a mid-stage Golden Elixir monk.
After Zhou Yang came out of seclusion, he congratulated him a few words and then got down to business.
"It's been more than a year since the Kunxu Realm opened. You and I have gained a lot in this year. Next, it's time for us to go to the [Holy Infant Valley]."
"It's a long way from here to [Holy Infant Valley]. We have to pass through four or five dangerous places on the way. You and I have to be careful and don't make a mistake!"
The "Holy Infant Fruit" is related to the birth of a baby in the future. Zhou Yang and Jiang Fengxian have long made a plan to seize this fruit.
The "Holy Infant Valley" will appear two years after the Kunxu Realm opens, so of course they have to arrive in advance.
Therefore, when Jiang Fengxian heard Zhou Yang talk about this matter, he didn't find it strange at all.
After she pondered for a while, she nodded slightly and said, "What Brother Zhou said is absolutely true. I have no objection."
At that moment, the two of them left the temporary cave, checked the map, and rushed towards the location of the "Holy Infant Valley".
Because the two of them were always cautious along the way, they did not experience any major dangers.
After walking most of the way, the two stopped in front of a huge canyon.
"The Sky Split Canyon spans three thousand miles from east to west and one hundred thousand miles from north to south. Both the east and west sides of the canyon are deserted. Only by traversing the north and south of the canyon can you reach the cold wind plain on the opposite side. Because there are unstable space cracks all over the canyon, in the end
The surefire way to travel through the canyon is on foot!”
In front of the huge canyon, Zhou Yang looked ahead at the long canyon that was a hundred thousand miles deep, and with a solemn look on his face, he murmured the information about this canyon.
Regarding the information about this "Tiancrack Canyon", it was also a specially marked place on the map that recorded the "Holy Infant Fruit", indicating that although there are many strange objects that are rare in the outside world, there are also great dangers in this place.
In this canyon, there are not only terrifying things like space cracks that can be swallowed by Yuanying stage monks, but also many powerful monsters entrenched in it, and there are also some Jedi and death places that can even hurt Golden Core stage monks.
exist.
If it weren't for the attraction of the "Holy Infant Fruit", a rare spiritual creature in the world, Zhou Yang would never have ventured through the "Tiancrack Canyon".
But now, he has no choice.
"It's easy to talk about monsters. There are ways to survive in all kinds of dangerous places and Jedi. But the space cracks are something you and I can never touch. Therefore, unless we encounter the danger of a narrow escape in the canyon, you and I will never take off.
Fly, otherwise if you hit a crack in space, you will definitely die!"
Before entering the canyon, Zhou Yang repeatedly emphasized the risks of this trip to Jiang Fengxian with a solemn face.
The matter was too important for him to be careless.
And Jiang Fengxian was not impatient, and nodded in agreement with the same heavy expression.
So the two of them walked into the canyon with great caution.
In the vast canyon, there are various landforms, including forests with towering ancient trees, rugged rocky mountains, stagnant lakes and various caves.
Zhou Yang and the two were walking among them, their spirits stretched to the limit. If there was any disturbance, they would be alerted to prepare for battle.
And the facts prove that they are not unnecessary.
In less than half a month after entering the canyon, an unknown number of various monsters died at the hands of Zhou Yang and the others. No less than twenty fourth-order monsters alone were killed, and there were even two fifth-order monsters among them.
.
Kunxu Realm opened eight hundred years ago, and within eight hundred years, the rich spiritual energy of this place was completely enough for a potential little demon to evolve into a fourth-order monster or even a fifth-order monster.
Therefore, the number of high-level monsters here is no less than that in the Duanyun Mountains where monsters are rampant, or even more!
In particular, many wild alien species that have been rarely seen in the outside world still live in this Kunxu Realm.
On the ninth day after Zhou Yang and the others entered the "Tiancrack Canyon", they encountered a fifth-level high-grade monster called "Three-Headed Black Snake". At that time, the two of them had spent a lot of effort, and Zhou Yang even suffered injuries at the cost of it.
Defeat this rare beast.
Of course, danger always comes with opportunities. By killing the attacking monsters, Zhou Yang not only harvested a large amount of monster elixirs and monster materials, but also collected many rare elixirs.
Even after killing a fifth-level low-level monster "Tusk Thunderstorm Beast", he got a large piece of rare fifth-level spiritual object "Thunder Crystal" in its belly.
This "Thunder Crystal" is not an ordinary spiritual object. It is a special treasure formed by the "Fang Thunderstorm Beast" after devouring many spiritual objects, and the essence of the spiritual objects is deposited in the body and cannot be digested, and then combined with its own thunder and lightning power.
The body of ordinary wild boars has a chance to produce something called "pig treasure", which has great medicinal value.
The "Thunder Crystal" taken from the body of the "Fang Thunderstorm Beast" is a rare spiritual object that can be integrated into a magic weapon, giving the magic weapon the power of thunder and lightning.
The "Thunder Crystal" obtained by Zhou Yang was as big as a human head and weighed hundreds of kilograms, so it was of great value.
Except for this "Thunder Crystal", the harvest of other demon pills also gave Zhou Yang a great harvest.
Jiang Fengxian knew that he had a family to support, so she did not compete with him for the fourth-level demon elixir, but only took a few useful demon elixirs, and even gave him the rest of the demon beast materials.
It is foreseeable that as long as Zhou Yang can return to the family alive this time, he will definitely be able to use this harvest to build the Zhou family into a well-deserved Jindan family.
On the seventeenth day after entering the "Tiancrack Canyon", Zhou Yang and Jiang Fengxian encountered an extremely powerful fifth-level high-grade monster called "Shichi".
"Stone Monster" is said to be a monster, but it is actually a stone monster like a tree monster. This kind of monster is formed from refined mountain rocks. It is not only naturally proficient in the art of earth escape, but also has the magical power of petrification and the indestructible body.
.
And unlike the tree demon, the "stone sprite" can move.
When encountering such a monster, both Zhou Yang and Zhou Yang have many tricks, but there is nothing they can do against each other.
As a last resort, the two could only fight and flee, hoping that "Shi Chi" would give up pursuit after they left their territory.
It's just a good idea, but the actual situation is completely opposite to what they thought.
Even after the two of them escaped thousands of miles away, "Shi Chi" was still chasing them closely with no intention of giving up.
Seeing this, Zhou Yang and the two men complained in their hearts and at the same time were extremely angry.
"If you really can't do it, you can only fight the monster desperately. It's better than running away in embarrassment like this!"
Seeing that he had fled into a forest and still couldn't get rid of the "stone devil", Zhou Yang also had a fearful attitude and couldn't help but feel the urge to fight for his life.
However, just when he persuaded Jiang Fengxian to stop and prepare to fight "Shi Chi", "Shi Chi" who had been chasing behind him suddenly screamed and quickly escaped underground as if he had been frightened.
Disappeared without a trace.
"not good!"
Zhou Yang and Jiang Fengxian's expressions changed. Not only did they not show any joy, but they tensed up even more and used their spiritual consciousness to explore the forest where they were.
"Shi Chi" suddenly ran away, obviously not because the two were ready to fight, but because there was something in the forest that frightened him.
And how could the two of them dare to ignore even the existence of such ferocious creatures as "Stone Chills"?
