"Who do you think is the most ruthless woman in the Xuan Realm now?" Shangguan Xin asked with a smile.
"Fourth Senior Sister." Su Anran said casually.
"How do you know?!" Shangguan Xin looked surprised.
"Second Senior Sister, I'm not a fool, okay." Su Anran was speechless, "I just asked you about the current situation of Third Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Sister, and then you asked me in turn, so the answer must be between Third Senior Sister and Fourth Senior Sister.
One...As far as I know, the third senior sister is devoted to the sword, and the fourth senior sister was the one who dominated the world three thousand years ago, so the answer must be the only fourth senior sister."
But Shangguan Xin's next words made Su Anran's face freeze instantly.
"But you guessed wrong."
"It's actually Third Senior Sister?"
"Her swordsmanship has improved again." Shangguan Xin glanced at Su Anran, and the look in her eyes made Su Anran feel a little uneasy. "She was originally a person who was very passionate about swords. It is normal for her swordsmanship to improve very quickly, but this time there was something a little uneasy."
Not quite the same.”
"Why is it different?"
"Xiao San has crossed the sea of suffering." Shangguan Xin said in a faint tone, "After she returned from the Tianyuan Wutong Secret Realm, her swordsmanship has improved rapidly. The second day after you came to the Tianyuan Secret Realm, she entered the sea of suffering, and then three days later she was promoted to the second
In the world, he fought in various places within a month, defeated Su Yunhai, Mu Yijian, and Huang Ying, and tied with Xie Laogui, officially becoming the eighth peerless swordsman."
Su Anran blinked, feeling shocked in her heart.
After all, he is no longer the ignorant novice he was back then.
The sea of suffering has three realm levels.
Buddhism calls it the Desire Realm, the Color Realm, and the Colorless Realm, while Taoism believes that this realm is the rumored Taoist act of beheading three corpses.
It's just that Taoism can't find more powerful evidence to prove the existence of the three corpses, so the Xuanjie view is basically biased towards Buddhism.
There are different ways to cross the sea of suffering. Almost no monk can copy the path of his predecessors and break through. Therefore, there is no experience at this level. Every monk must face his own consciousness. And that is why
Because of this, both Buddhism and Taoism agree that
, the realm of the sea of suffering is for monks to cut off the causes and effects of the world, truly get rid of the influence of heaven, and thus transcend life and death. Therefore, it is believed that if you want to cross the sea of suffering, you must get rid of all the interference of cause and effect and go alone, otherwise you will only sink into the sea.
In the sea of suffering, there is no hope of everlasting truth.
Therefore, in the occult world, the three realms of the Sea of Bitterness are generally called the Desire Realm, the Color Realm, and the Colorless Realm—the Desire Realm refers to one’s own desires and the various causes and effects caused by desires.
Involvement; the color realm is the involvement related to the bloodline of offspring and a series of causal entanglements derived from it. This is also the reason why many monks often do not give birth to offspring so quickly even if they have Taoist companions.
As for the formless realm, it is the third realm that has transcended the desire realm and the color realm, and cut off the entanglement of these two major causes and effects.
According to various accounts, this realm level is actually an accumulation and a kind of precipitation.
In other words, it is the process of finally examining oneself, understanding one's true self, and awakening one's true self.
Once you finally realize it, you can finally reach the other shore.
Often, many monks who cross the sea of suffering are stuck in this last step of accumulation: they are unable to correctly understand themselves - to paraphrase Huang Zi, these guys don't realize who they are at all.
What kind of person do you want to be in the future?
However, martial arts monks generally do not recognize this statement and will only call it the first realm, the second realm, and the third realm.
Confucian monks are special. They usually don't suffer from the sea of suffering.
On the contrary, there are a large group of great monks who say that color is emptiness and emptiness is color, and they are often stuck in the world of color. To use Huang Zi's statement again, this group of great monks do not have enough knowledge. This is why Taoism has the saying of "experience in the world of mortals". After all, Taoism
Unlike Buddhism, they can approach women and men.
Among the ten disciples of Taiyi Valley, except for a few who have not been able to break through to the Earthly Immortal Realm due to some reasons, the others dare not cross the sea of suffering due to some of their own problems: Shangguan Xin became an idiot in martial arts and became obsessed with
If it is too extreme, you will definitely fall into the realm of desire if you enter the sea of suffering; if Ye Jinxuan is too violent,
The same obsession is too great, and the scumbag of the past can't be overcome without taking action. Wei Ying is now focused on the four evils on earth. If she doesn't collect them all, the cause and effect cannot be broken, and she can't get through the realm of desire. Song Nana
It means that Su Anran is rejected by the way of heaven. Unless Su Anran crosses the sea of suffering, she will not dare to enter the sea of suffering.
And Su Anran herself?
The main purpose of his entry into the Tianyuan Secret Realm this time was to find the Soul-Splitting Demonic Mountain Spider that he had let go. Only by killing this thing would his cause and effect be completely settled, and then he could begin to cross the sea of suffering.
As for Wang Yuanji.
She is no longer a human being - she has completely integrated with the center of the world, which is equivalent to becoming the incarnation of heaven in the world. Therefore, in the small world of the world, she can exert as much power as the power ceiling of those small worlds is high.
Strong power; and the Xuan Realm is not governed by the Ten Thousand Realms, and even because the Xuan Realm has its own heavenly movement, if Wang Yuanji wants to appear in the Xuan Realm, she has to suppress her heavenly aura, which is equivalent to her being in the Xuan Realm or even
It is impossible to borrow the power of heaven.
It is precisely because Su Anran now knows a lot about the Sea of Bitterness that she was even more shocked after hearing the words of Second Senior Sister Shangguan Xin.
Jian Kuang. Mu Yijian.
Fantasy Sea Sword. Su Yunhai.
Evil Sword Fairy. Huang Ying.
Sword crazy old man. Thank you old ghost.
These four people are the seven peerless sword immortals that exist in the Xuan Realm today. My third senior sister can defeat three of them, only the old man who is a swordsman. Xie Laogui is tied, which means that Tang Shiyun's strength is no longer weak.
In the other side realm, it is even possible that it is stronger than the ordinary monks in the other side realm!
"Third Senior Sister is really amazing. She can actually defeat three peerless swordsmen."
"I haven't finished speaking yet." Shangguan Xin said in a faint tone, "After Xiao San and Old Ghost Xie were tied, she went into seclusion again. It has been almost two years since you came to Tianyuan Secret Realm. How can the Xuan Realm have passed Xiao San?"
After half a year, you don’t think that Mistress is still standing still, do you?”
"Could it be that..."
"She retreated for two months for the second time. After she came out, she challenged Old Ghost Xie again with the strength of the third realm of the sea of suffering, and defeated him with one sword. Then she challenged Zhou Buwei again, broke the formation with three swords, and defeated him. Finally, she challenged him to a fight.
Huang Feifei, before I entered the Tianyuan Secret Realm, the last news I heard was that she had an affair with Huang Feifei.
The battle between Feifei and Feifei was a draw, but Huang Feifei also said that if Xiaosan comes to the other side, then she will be her opponent." Shangguan Xin exhaled a breath, looking a little dissatisfied, "I used to be able to beat the guy to tears for a long time with just one punch.
Now I can't even fight her."
Listening to the second senior sister's gloomy speech, Su Anran suddenly had an idea.
"Second Senior Sister."
"What's wrong?"
"You shouldn't have competed with Third Senior Sister and then been defeated by Third Senior Sister, right?" Su Anran asked in surprise, "With your martial arts cultivation, you can kill dragons in the Xuan Realm with one hand, so there is no reason to come here
Going to Tianyuan Secret Realm instead
No. And... Senior Sister actually bandaged you up like this. No matter how you look at it, it doesn’t look like an ordinary injury. You were seriously injured by Third Senior Sister’s sword energy, so you came to Tianyuan Secret Realm to seek treatment from Senior Sister.
Bar?"
Shangguan Xin's face turned red, and she turned her head and groaned: "How... how is it possible! Huh, although Xiaosan is very powerful now, how could it be possible for me to hurt my foundation? I am just too careless, so
The one who was injured by that dragon dragon is the one who bandaged me up like this because of the big fuss! What are you talking about!"
Su Anran understood.
As the second senior sister and the third senior sister are such geniuses, the third senior sister will definitely not give in to their discussion - of course, if the third senior sister dares to give in, then she will definitely be beaten to the head by the second senior sister - so the two of them
It is possible that some unexpected situations occurred during the competition, which ultimately caused the Second Senior Sister to be corroded and damaged by the Third Senior Sister's sword energy, so she had no choice but to come to the Tianyuan Secret Realm to find the Senior Sister.
The reason why the senior sister got angry before was probably not just because of the excessive blood loss of the third senior sister, but because she discovered that the third senior sister's sword energy was in the second senior sister's body, and she was angry that the two were competing to see if they were lighter or heavier, and then the second senior sister entered.
After the Tianyuan Secret Realm, he didn't come here honestly, but went to fight with a dragon. As a result, his injuries showed signs of worsening, so he became furious.
"Where is the Fourth Senior Sister?" Su Anran decided not to expose the Second Senior Sister's scars, "How is she doing now?"
"Before I came back, she was already the second largest force in Xizhou. The Ximen Family and the Zhenyuan Sect hated her with all their might, but there was nothing they could do about it." Shangguan Xin sighed with emotion, "My
Junior sisters are all monsters."
Second Senior Sister, you are also a monster, okay?
Su Anran didn't dare to spit out this, so she could only pretend to be quite surprised: "How come Fourth Senior Sister has become the second largest power in Xizhou? How did she do it?"
"Although I've been with Lao Si for a long time, to be honest, I don't know how she did it." Shangguan Xin's eyes showed a bit of confusion, "I just looked at her.
Run, run, run west, don’t scold me every day
People just curse, and then suddenly one day, she asked me to follow her to Xizhou. After she and I drove away the trash that was rooted in Xizhou by the Peeping Immortal Alliance, the head of the Zhenyuan Sect and the head of the Ximen Family came together.
Everyone came running to see her."
"I didn't pay too much attention to what they said. Anyway, Xiaosi had a fight with people from the Ximen family. Although we won, Xiaosi was still very angry, saying that this round of losses was huge, so Ximen
The family got a big deal. But she turned around and ran to meet with the Zhenyuan Sect people, and then she smiled happily when she came back, saying that it was a good deal and that the Ximen family's plan to establish a dynasty had completely failed."
"Anyway, Xiaosi now has humans, monsters, and ghosts under his command, and there are even many fallen demons who have maintained their sanity. Although no matter how you look at it, they look like the villains mentioned in the biography, but I secretly
I went out and looked around and found that the lives of those who are attached to Xiaosi are actually very good, and even ordinary people can live and work in peace and contentment... Anyway, the situation is better than that of the Ximen Family."
Listening to Second Senior Sister Shangguan Xin's description, Su Anran generally understood.
There are not many big forces in Xizhou, namely the Ximen Family and the Zhenyuan Sect, and at most there was a Hidden Sword Pavilion in the past.
However, since ancient times, Xizhou has been famous for being a mixed bag, with monsters and ghost cultivators everywhere. Because of this, Xizhou is quite resistant to Buddhism and Confucianism. After all, these two cultivation systems are somewhat blind. But also because
The situation in Xizhou is too special, so there is no situation like Dongzhou where the Eastern Family and the Huanxi Sect divide the world. Basically, the Thirty-sixth Sect also has a certain say in Xizhou.
But all of this was completely overturned with the arrival of Fourth Senior Sister Ye Jinxuan.
She first defeated the power of the Peeping Immortal Alliance and established her right to speak in Xizhou, and then had a fight with the Ximen family who tried to imitate the Dongfang family to establish a dynasty. Although she was slightly stronger than the Ximen family in terms of individual strength,
But it was obviously a little lacking in terms of background, so it suffered a heavy loss. This is a typical manifestation of the so-called "tactics win, strategy loses."
However, Ye Jinxuan was obviously not the kind of person who would silently endure the loss of being mute, so she went to join forces with the Zhenyuan Sect, and then caused trouble for the Ximen Family.
As a result, the Ximen Family will naturally not be able to establish the Ximen Dynasty, and can only divide Xizhou equally with Ye Jinxuan - perhaps adding a Zhenyuan Sect to make a three-point Xizhou. But no matter which way it is, Ye Jinxuan obviously has
It’s not a loss, but a profit.
Bi, now not only has a firm foothold in Xizhou, but has also become the second largest force in Xizhou. Moreover, this second largest force is likely to be stronger than the Ximen Family in terms of comprehensive strength. This is why the Ximen Family does not dare to act rashly.
I can only compromise obediently.
After such calculations, Su Anran discovered that all the disciples in Taiyi Valley who stayed in the Xuan Realm were making a fortune.
Third senior sister Tang Shiyun is just one step away from reaching the other shore. Now, there may not be many people in Xuanjie who can beat her in terms of personal force.
Fourth senior sister Ye Jinxuan has built a powerful force that has truly reached the level of the Nineteenth Sect, and its position in the Xuan world can be said to be of great importance.
Sixth Senior Sister Wei Ying is the next successor of the Divine Beast Sect. Although the Divine Beast Sect is currently not strong, the sect's heritage is extraordinary.
Su Anran turned her head and looked at the second senior sister.
From this point of view, the second senior sister has become the biggest loser.
"Junior brother, why are you looking at me with such strange eyes?" Shangguan Xin frowned. She felt that Su Anran looked at her in a strange way.
"Second Senior Sister, I suddenly had an idea."
"What do you want to do?" Shangguan Xin asked warily.
"Your second senior sister, you are the biological sister of the ninth senior sister, right?"
Shangguan Xin nodded.
"Ninth Senior Sister is not tolerated by heaven. Anyone who gets too close to her will be in bad luck. So think about it...could it be because you are Ninth Senior Sister's biological sister that you are so unlucky?"
Su Anran said cautiously, "After all, you have been trapped in the ancient battlefield of the Netherworld for hundreds of years, and now not long after you came out, you were inexplicably injured so seriously, and your foundation was damaged. No matter how you think about it... it's not very good."
