"Bald Meng Zhou" heard these words, but he just raised his eyebrows and said nothing more. He just looked at Qing Ye with a calm face.
After a while, he suddenly asked:
"Let's leave the rest aside. I'm most curious about one thing right now. How did you find this place?"
Hearing this, Qing Ye smiled softly and said:
"To put it bluntly, it's not complicated. It's just a matter of guessing."
"Tell me carefully," Bald Meng Zhou said.
"Everything that has happened in the Eight Wildernesses in the Outer Territory over the past few years basically illustrates one thing. There is a powerful force secretly driving a series of changes." Qing Ye said.
"Bald Meng Zhou" heard Qing Ye's affirmative words. He was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in approval in his heart.
Indeed.
The birth of the fourth-level evil land from the Eight Places provides a stage for the birth of all new Nascent Souls and fourth-level true spirits.
The formation seals of these eight tribulation-transmitting places in Xingxiu Palace were destroyed by the powerful tribulation at almost the same time, but the group of beings who successfully transcended the tribulation were all missing;
Then the disappearance of the "Realm of Death" completely integrated the eight wilderness areas into one.
It doesn't take much insight to discover that there must be a powerful force behind this series of changes.
Moreover, it can be basically concluded that the forces driving these changes are most likely the same force.
——The probability of all this happening naturally is so slim that it can be completely ignored.
"At first, I had doubts that all this was the work of the Lihen Cult.
However, because of some other signs, I overturned this guess." Qing Ye said.
"Bald Meng Zhou" nodded slightly. He already basically understood the idea behind Qing Ye's so-called "guessing".
The Eight Wastelands of Outland are millions of miles in circumference, seemingly vast.
But in the eyes of Yuanying monks, it is actually not that big.
After reaching this level, there are even fewer forces that can get on the stage.
After excluding the "opposition" Lihen Sect, Xingxiu Sea and Xingxiu Palace naturally occupied an increasingly prominent position.
However, how did Qingye exclude those Nascent Soul Lords from Xingxiu Palace?
As soon as this question arose in his heart, Meng Zhou already made a rough judgment.
It should be related to the last time Qing Ye and others broke into the Xingxiu Sea together, and the "Lian Zi Ling Incident" happened in full view of the public.
Thinking of this, another thing actually deserves more attention from him.
That is to say, the location where Qingye appeared was so accurate, just entering and exiting the "Xingxiu Tianchi" in the Xingxiu Sea, which shows that he not only knew the existence of the "Xingxiu Tianchi", but also knew its exact location in the Xingxiu Sea.
This is obviously problematic.
If Qing Ye is really just an alchemy ancestor named Qingxuan Sect under the Juye Wilderness in the Eight Wildernesses of the Outer Realms, he shouldn't know so many things.
Although Meng Zhou still had some doubts about this, he did not ask Qing Ye in detail about this.
Instead, he withdrew his attention from paying attention to these minutiae.
"What exactly are the taboo regulations?" "Bald Meng Zhou" asked directly.
Meng Zhou originally wanted to pretend to be more profound and ask vague questions to show that he didn't know anything about it.
However, Qing Ye obviously cannot be easily fooled.
My previous performance has also exposed some situations. At this time, if I pretend to be sophisticated and understand, it may be counterproductive.
In this case, it is best to ask questions openly and directly about the doubts in your heart.
Seeing that he asked so directly, Qing Ye was obviously stunned for a moment, and then said with a wry smile:
"It seems that I came at the wrong time today...Does this count as throwing myself into a trap?"
"Bald Meng Zhou" didn't comment on his answer and just looked at him quietly.
Under such eyes, after a period of silence, Qingye sighed and said slowly:
"So, you don't know much about the real situation of the Eight Wastelands in the Outer Territory and the Xingxiu Sea?"
"I know nothing." "Bald Meng Zhou" said frankly.
"Then why are you doing this?" Qing Ye asked.
"Which ones?" "Bald Meng Zhou" asked.
"I have smashed the original rules to pieces with my own efforts." Qing Ye said.
"My hands are itchy and I can't stand it."
This is not just perfunctory by Meng Zhou, this is the most real motive in his heart.
As the saying goes, "With a sharp blade in hand, murderous intent arises." It would be fine if you don't have the ability, but unfortunately, you have the ability.
Under such circumstances, I feel the limitations of those "rules and regulations", and of course I can't help but want to give it a try.
This is quite natural.
His simple and sincere answer once again made Qingye dumbfounded.
Qing Ye didn't answer, so "Bald Meng Zhou" took the initiative to ask:
"Did my actions violate Nalaoshizi's taboos?"
"Yeah." Qingye smiled bitterly and nodded.
"So, what are the taboo regulations?" "Bald Meng Zhou" asked.
Qingye smiled bitterly again.
He shook his head slightly and said to "Bald Meng Zhou": "Our world, the entire Outer Territory, including the Sea of Stars, has another name."
"What?" "Bald Meng Zhou" asked.
"The Sealing Demon Continent is also known as the Sealing Demon Land." Qing Ye said softly.
"Seal the Demon Continent? Seal the... Demon Land? What does this mean?" "Bald Meng Zhou" read it again, his expression quietly solemn.
"Literal meaning." Qingye said lightly.
"Bald Meng Zhou" looked at him seriously. After a while, he said, "Tell me more about it."
Qingye said:
"You can think of our world as a huge prison. It turns out that the eight wastelands of the outer world separated by the 'Realm of Death' are individual prisons.
Those Nascent Souls of the Constellation Palace who take the initiative to maintain the order of this world, you can think of them as jailers, it's as simple as that."
Hearing this, Meng Zhou was touched, but he was not too shocked.
Because of what Qing Ye said, Meng Zhou already had a vague judgment in his mind a long time ago.
Now, it's just a matter of completely confirming this guess from other people's mouths.
"Are the so-called taboo regulations formulated by monks from other continents, or other higher-level beings, to manage the special 'prison' in the entire Feng Mo Continent?" "Bald Meng Zhou" said.
"Yeah." Qingye nodded lightly.
After thinking for a while, "Bald Meng Zhou" asked again:
"How do you know this? Where do you know it?... I think I have read a lot of books, but how come I have never seen any record of it?"
Qingye shook his head and said:
“How can such information be recorded in writing?
I naturally understood all this in the process of successfully overcoming the tribulation, bathing in the rays of heavenly light, and completely achieving Nascent Soul."
"Ah?!" Hearing such an answer, "Bald Meng Zhou" exclaimed softly, not knowing what to say.
??????????.??????
Qing Ye looked at him and said with a wry smile: "I thought that you would know the information even more clearly than me."
Having said this, Qingye shook his head, "But I was mistaken...perhaps, not all monks can understand this clearly when they break through the Nascent Soul. Is it related to the practice method?"
Thinking like this, Qing Ye gently shook his head again.
"Bald Meng Zhou" fell into silence again.
Qingye's guess may have some truth to it. Not all monks can achieve this enlightenment under the rays of heavenly light after breaking through the Nascent Soul.
But for him, there is actually a simpler and more straightforward explanation.
Although he has made a breakthrough, he is not the Nascent Soul.
Therefore, the information that Qingye understood clearly under the rays of heaven when he first achieved Yuanying was probably an "information gift package" specially prepared for newcomers to Yuanying.
Because I am not a newcomer to Yuanying, so naturally I missed this "gift package" and failed to fall into my hands?
…
Meng Zhou could easily understand Qingye's initiative to visit him.
Perhaps it was because the things he did to the Eight Wildernesses in the Outer Lands that violated the "taboo regulations" revealed that his power and methods were too powerful.
Or maybe it was the last time that a group of new Nascent Souls and fourth-level true spirits broke into the Sea of Stars under the instigation of "Lian Ziling", and the "unexpected incident" that followed...
In Qingye's eyes, it might be like seeing a powerful and unscrupulous "prison bully".
In order to avoid being affected or being targeted and angered, he jumped out and raised his hands while taking the initiative to express his position.
"Boss, don't shoot, we are one of our own!"
But it wasn't until he jumped out that Qingye discovered that the person he regarded as a "prison bully" was actually a fool who knew nothing.
Perhaps, he now wants to pretend that nothing happened and shrink back again.
Meng Zhou, who wanted to understand this, looked at Qing Ye and curiously asked about another thing.
"You said that the destruction I caused violated some taboos, and I can still understand it.
But why do you think that, with your gift of magical power, you have violated more serious taboos than me? What's going on?"
Faced with such inquiries, Qing Ye helplessly spread his hands and said:
"You ask me, who should I ask?
Although I know a lot under the rays of that day, I don’t know even more.”
Having said this, Qing Ye paused for a moment before saying with a wry smile:
"I only know that what I consider to be a noble and righteous path of practice, is just a completely demonic path in the eyes of other beings.
I'm very confused, is it possible that the outside world of spiritual practice is a place where good and evil are reversed?"
Qing Ye thought half jokingly, half speculatively, but Meng Zhou who heard this thought of himself.
He had a guess in his mind that if only Qingye, who was gifted with supernatural powers, violated the taboo of Laoshizi, then he would not have any chance to escape. The taboos he would violate in this regard would be more and more profound than Qingye's.
Then Meng Zhou thought about the strange incident that he witnessed and experienced in the last moment of the tribulation, also bathed in the glow of heaven.
The "superstars" each exuding a strong aura of law are completely aiming to destroy themselves, and they are smashing towards themselves like falling stars.
In the end, those "superstars" failed because other forces of law appeared and stood on the opposite side of those "superstars", stopping their steps and allowing themselves to escape successfully.
"Maybe I didn't miss the 'information gift package'."
Meng Zhou thought so in his heart.
Those "law superstars" who appeared at the last moment and seemed to want to completely destroy themselves might be punishment for violating the so-called "taboo regulations".
In this way, not only did I not miss out on the "information gift package", but compared with Qing Ye's gains, it was more direct to the essence.
However, it is precisely for this reason that in the absence of more preliminary explanations, he, the client, is still confused so far.
"Bald Meng Zhou" looked at Qing Ye and asked again:
"The last question is, what happens if you violate the taboo regulations?...I don't feel anything wrong."
Qing Ye shook his head and said: "I don't feel anything wrong. There is no relevant content in the enlightenments I gained."
Meng Zhou was silent.
If you violate the "taboo regulations", nothing will change.
It doesn't matter whether it's violated or not, the so-called "taboo regulations" are just a piece of paper and of no use.
"However, I have a guess." After a while, Qingye spoke again.
"What guess?"
"The direct consequence of violating the taboo regulations is likely to be a loss of life." Qing Ye said softly.
"ah?"
"Bald Meng Zhou" exhaled softly and looked at Qing Ye with a puzzled look on his face: "Why do you think so?"
"There's something strange, don't you think?" Qing Ye said.
"What's the matter?" "Bald Meng Zhou" asked.
"Are all the Nascent Souls in Xingxiu Palace too short-lived?" Qing Ye said softly.
In an instant, Meng Zhou felt as if a strong electric current was released from the bottom of his heart and spread to all corners of his soul.
The information about the Nascent Souls of the past dynasties in the Xingxiu Palace that existed in the collection of ancient books floated out. After rapid integration, this information formed a concise chronology of births and deaths.
The problem was naturally exposed.
Judging from the life span limit of Yuanying monks, almost none of them "end their lives".
but--
Based on what he had compiled, Meng Zhou raised the question again, "Although the Nascent Souls of the Xingxiu Palace rarely live to the end of their lives, as far as I know, there are reasons for their demise, and it is not that they die at the end of their lives."
Qing Ye shook his head and said: "No matter what the reason is, they did not survive to the end of their lives... although the reasons for their demise were various.
But...are you sure that's the real reason?"
"Bald Meng Zhou" was suffocated. Thinking about it carefully, this is really what happened.
There is a saying that tactics can be faked, but battle lines cannot.
It is equally appropriate to use it here. The specific reason is not really important. What is important is that they did all die at that point in time.
Even if it is not because of "loss of life", it may be because of "fall of the middle way", the result is the same.
"No... there is another premise here, that is, these Constellation Palace Nascent Souls have violated taboo regulations!" "Bald Meng Zhou" narrowed his eyes.
Qing Ye stared at him and said, "I'm sure that they all violated it... at least one of them violated it."
Just when Meng Zhou was wondering why he was so determined, Qing Ye slowly spoke again.
