In the ancient times when Yutingmen was prominent, the architectural style was completely different from modern times.
Whether it is a row of private houses, the courtyard of a wealthy family, or the county government hall of an official, the tops are all designed with spires instead of the common cornice style today.
"Why are they all spires?" Su Mingjian asked puzzledly, "Did people in the past think it looked good like this?"
"It should be for waterproofing purposes." Chen Guanshui carefully looked at the drainage ditch in front of the house, and then looked at the layers of seawater beyond the sky barrier above his head.
In fact, a certain premonition in his mind became more and more obvious: the design of the Yutingmen Cave had too many similarities with the Jinchan Temple.
There is an independent cave sky dome, and there are layers of sea water outside... It is difficult not to think about "resisting the chaotic Milky Way".
"There is no body." Chen Guanshui said suddenly.
"If they are just mortal bones, they will decay after hundreds of thousands of years." Su Mingjian agreed, "Indeed." However, not a single monk's bones were found, which shows that the cave here is not in a certain scene.
It was abandoned after the disaster, but the monks and civilians were relocated in a planned and organized manner.
"In other words, there is a high probability that there will be no secret treasures or scriptures left in this cave." It finally concluded with some teasing in its tone, as if it wanted to see the sword master's joke.
"Not necessarily." Chen Guanshui suddenly said.
He came near the market in the city and saw a foggy, light black upright circle of light in the middle of the road ahead, exuding a strange and ominous aura.
Not long after, outside the secret realm, in the deep sea.
Shi Liuli showed a certain degree of surprise that Xu Yinglian followed him here, but his expression was so indifferent that Xu Yinglian suspected that she was faking - maybe she would have come sooner rather than later!
"Dongyou." Xu Yinglian said patiently, "I came here this time because I wanted to"
As soon as she opened her mouth, An Zhisu felt a little unhappy.
Did you agree to help me find someone first? But when I met Dongyou, I directly made my request. Are you planning to drag her over to do other things first?
"I already know your purpose of coming." Shi Liuli signaled that Xu Yinglian didn't need to say more, but just sighed lightly, "Just in time, I want to find my husband, Luo Yan."
"It won't be too late to deal with yours after my affairs are finished."
"And mine." An Zhisu emphasized, "Find someone for me first, and then take care of Qiongying's affairs."
Xu Yinglian didn't say anything. Of course she knew Jiang Xiao's temper, so she didn't contradict her head-on.
"Oh, I found it." Shi Liuli said suddenly.
An Zhisu and Xu Yinglian came forward at the same time, the latter remained calm while the former was impatient.
On the rock wall of the rift valley, I don't know what kind of magic Shi Liuli used to break the illusory formation covering the surface, revealing the hole inside.
"Is this the entrance to the Yutingmen Cave?" An Zhisu said with a frown.
Xu Yinglian immediately wrote down the three words "Yu Ting Men" and searched in his mind, but could not find the answer.
"Who knows." Shi Liuli still maintained the mysterious style that made Senior Sister An very unhappy. He quickly made a prediction and then stepped inside.
When entering the cave, she bent her fingers a few times imperceptibly, and then disappeared into the cave entrance.
An Zhisu hurriedly followed, Xu Yinglian hesitated for a moment, only to hear Fenglan reminding her in the sea of consciousness:
"When she entered just now, she tampered with the entrance of the cave."
"Is it a trap?" Xu Yinglian asked with a frown.
She must have just arrived in this secret realm, so the possibility of setting a trap is unlikely." Feng Lan guessed, "But she may have discovered some mechanism of the entrance and secretly adjusted the mechanism without telling you."
"Since you are hiding it from us, it may not be a good thing." Xu Yinglian sighed and said, "But I have no choice now, right?"
After saying this, she cheered up and carefully stepped into the cave entrance.
Going back to the previous time, he said
Chen Guanshui discovered a black light door in the middle of the road in the market area of the city, which seemed to lead to some other space.
In the world of cultivation, teleportation formations are very rare and high-level entities, and most of them are in a flat form, so they can be engraved on the ground and run for a long time.
But this was the first time Chen Guanshui had seen this kind of portal that was upright and oval, as if it was tempting people to crawl in.
"It doesn't look like a human handiwork." He said slowly.
"It's a bit like a demon." Su Mingjian also commented.
Does the demon know how to perform formations?" Chen Guanshui asked in surprise.
"Yes." Su Mingjian said, "Sword Master, don't you think they are just wild beasts living in the chaotic Milky Way?"
"In fact, the demons outside the territory not only have their own ethnic groups, but also have palaces where they live, and they also study various spells and magical powers. They are similar to the monks in the world of cultivation. However, because they are too powerful, and there is no one outside the territory that can threaten the demons
Enemies, so most demons just rely on their instincts and supernatural powers to act.
"In that case," Chen Guanshui thought, "will there be any danger when passing through this light door?"
"After all, we are going to an unknown space. Apart from anything else, there must be dangers." Su Mingjian smiled and said, what should I do if I go in and can't get out?"
"But these risks are insignificant to the sword master. After all, you have the Tianni Shuttle, don't you? If something goes wrong, just break the space barrier and come back."
"That's right." Chen Guanshui laughed and stepped directly into the light door.
There was no common feeling of spinning around, only the surrounding scenes suddenly changed - he had come to another world.
Chen Guanshui turned his eyes and found that he was still in the city. The surrounding market buildings were exactly the same as those outside the light gate.
The only difference is that the world inside the light gate is insufficiently lighted and extremely dim, so he has to use the "Universal Voiceless Little Light Technique" to illuminate the dim scene around him.
But as soon as the light spell was released, screams were heard from all around, as if three or four people were screaming at the same time.
Chen Guanshui was shocked, wondering when there were so many people around him? He quickly put his hands together, and activated the five elements of divine light with all his strength. He first protected himself tightly, and then began to rub the thunder technique.
His true essence was already powerful and powerful, but with just a slight movement of his breath, a huge thunder dragon appeared from the sky. As long as its body swayed at will, it could level all the surrounding buildings.
At this moment, another shadow shot from a distance and shouted:
"Stop! Fellow Taoist, please show your respect!"
The shadow looked like a human outline, but there were no facial features on the face. It was just that the position of the long mouth slowly vibrated, making a low and terrifying sound.
Chen Guanshui's thoughts moved slightly, he fixed the Taixiao Thunder in the air, and said coldly:
"You just sneak up on me without making any announcement. Don't dare to call yourself Taoist friend in vain."
"That's not the case." The shadow hurriedly explained, "They just... haven't seen anyone for a long time and are just curious."
Chen Guanshui looked down and saw only a few rickety shadows, covering their faces with their skinny arms, wailing and retreating back in a hurry, as if the Universal Voiceless Little Light Technique was causing pain to them.
"Are you from Yutingmen?" he asked thoughtfully.
"To be precise, we are the monks of the Yuting Sect back then." The shadow said with a wry smile, "As for why it became like this, that is another story."
"If fellow Taoists are willing to believe it, we will go in and explain it in detail."
He waved his arm, and the door of the room next to him opened automatically, revealing the dark room inside.
Chen Guanshui was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously wanted to ask Ah Jing to scan, but realized that there was no Ah Jing now, so he could only think about it for a moment, nodded and said:
"That's fine."
Anyway, if there is really any trap, just activate the Suming Sword and kill him seven times in and seven out!
Seeing that the other party was so happy, the shadow was slightly startled, and then
Taking the lead to enter the door, Chen Guanshui climbed up the steps and heard a voice in the darkness:
"Please do not use magic... Taoists must have noticed that ordinary light will cause great harm to us."
"Why is this?" Chen Guanshui asked in confusion, "Furthermore, fellow Taoists, how can there be any trace of human flesh and blood?
It’s a bit like the ghost cultivation lineage.”
"In fact, it's worse than ghost cultivators." The voice sighed, "Ghost cultivators have no body, only their souls. Therefore, when their cultivation level is low, they cannot withstand the penetration of sun essence and can only avoid it.
daytime.
"But we didn't give up the physical body, we just tried to transform the physical body into another form, but failed halfway."
"Transform into another form?" Chen Guanshui asked in confusion.
"Yes." Shadow said, "I wonder if you know about the ascension?"
"I see that my Taoist friend's divine light is restrained. I think he has already given birth to a baby. I have probably heard this saying: If you don't become a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal, even if you ascend, you won't be able to hope for the immortal world, right?"
"I have indeed heard that." Chen Guanshui nodded and said, "This world is too far away from the immortal world. There are many difficulties and obstacles on the way to ascension. I really don't have much confidence that I will not become a Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal."
He was still wary at this time and refused to reveal too much information. He just followed the information given by the other party.
The shadow heard his caution, so he simply spoke openly:
"On the way to ascension, there are many difficulties and obstacles, but they are actually nothing more than two points: First, the erosion of the Chaos Galaxy, which requires
Spend all your real energy to resist at all times; secondly, there are many demons outside the territory, and you need to be prepared for their sneak attacks and raids."
"These two dangers actually only add up to one, and that is how to deal with the devil."
As long as you deal with the demon, you can find a planet to hide in, breathe out and refine your Qi, and your true energy will grow on its own, so what's there to fear?
"Not bad." Chen Guanshui nodded and said.
Although he has never become an immortal, in the secret realm of Qibao Xuanyuan, he has fought with many demons in the universe before he knows what "human sea tactics" are and what "no way out" is.
Not to mention, there is also the immortal demon who transforms into the Great Freedom. No matter you use the five elements of divine light, use Taishan to suppress the top, or use thunder to kill, beat the opponent into powder, and then the opponent will regain his body after a while, what can you do?
?
The real energy is limited, but the demons are infinite, so there is really nothing we can do!
"Because of this, all the sects in our world of cultivation, when they reach their peak of development and are almost invincible, will probably start to study how to enable the immortals in the sect to safely ascend to that immortal world regardless of their rank.
There is no need to reach the realm of invincibility. As long as the sect has a certain scale and potential, the Immortal of the Zhensect intends to ascend. Can everyone in the sect give full support?
Just look at the secret realm of Qibao Xuanyuan this time. Regardless of the Three Pure Realms or the Six Paths, didn't they send a large number of Yuanying elders to explore it and find clues to the Great Light Palace for the immortals?
"The more mainstream method is to try to make up for the basic source of Tao." Shadow continued to explain, "After all, whether it is forming a pill or transforming into an infant, ordinary people always have various reasons for not being perfect and leaving some flaws.
「
After becoming an immortal and ascending to immortality, these flaws will become huge flaws, making it difficult for the immortal to transform into the body of Chaos Daluo.
"Theoretically speaking, as long as all the defects in the basic source of Tao are made up, even if it is not as good as the Chaos Great Luo Jinxian, it is probably about the same."
"It's easy to say, but don't forget that all your cultivation comes from your Dao foundation."
"If you want to repair the foundation itself, it's like grabbing your own hair and lifting yourself out of thin air... Easier said than done? It's easier to turn back time!"
Indeed, Chen Guanshui thought to himself.
At least with the existence of the Kunlun Mirror, it is possible to go back in time... But the basic source of the Compensation Dao is currently only rumored to have clues in the secret realm of the Great Light Palace, and it has not been confirmed yet!
"So?" Chen Guanshui urged, "So you chose to find another way?"
"In our time," Shadow continued, "in addition to the mainstream source of repair, there are many other methods."
"For example, if you create a flying magic weapon that can resist the erosion of the Chaos Galaxy, you can carry the immortals inside to the fairy world without having to fight with the demons."
"Another example is the practice of secret techniques, which can be hidden from the eyes and ears of the devil, so that one can travel through the chaotic Milky Way without being noticed... Anyway, as you can think of, people in our era have basically tried to practice it."
"As for our Yuting Sect, because we have very deep knowledge and research on various secret arts, one of our seniors came up with a method."
At this point, the other party's voice trembled faintly, and a bit of regret and unwillingness could be heard from it.
"What method?" Chen Guanshui asked directly without caring about the other party's emotions.
"Transform the body into the body of a demon."
"What?" Chen Guanshui couldn't believe his ears.
"That's the literal meaning." The shadow replied, "If we can transform human monks into heavenly demons, we won't have to worry about depletion of true energy."
"This is not the same thing at all, right?" Chen Guanshui complained, "You have become a demon, why are you going to the fairy world? You can't be beaten out by the immortals?"
"Actually, according to the senior's idea, transforming into a demon is not irreversible." The voice said helplessly, "Become a demon, cross the Chaos Galaxy, reach the fairy world, and then change back again. This way, you can become a demon once and for all."
"As a result, something went wrong along the way, and fellow Taoists also saw it. It turned into a state where we are neither humans nor ghosts."
