Chapter 1358 Salvation

The bottom of the mountainside.

Zhen Yuanting closed his eyes slightly, indifferent and quiet, there was nothing else around.

"Unexpectedly, my little friend's skill is so advanced that you can see it here."

"Hello senior."

Zhou Shu saluted with a smile, showing a trace of doubt, "Here..."

But separated by several mountain walls, it is like another world.

There is no trace of vitality here, to be precise, there is nothing, there is nothing that can be perceived, even the rocky mountain walls in the eyes, etc., become empty in the perception and no longer exist.

When I was in it, I felt as if I was the only one in the world, and suddenly I felt very clear.

Zhen Yuanting opened his eyes and said with a smile, "Do you feel it? This is one of the three forbidden places in Shushan. It is easier for monks to get rid of distracting thoughts when they are in it. If you want to retreat in the future, you might as well come and try it. Shushan Definitely welcome."

"If there is a chance, I will try it."

Zhou Shu nodded lightly. He had this kind of experience before. It was similar to Qiye formation, but Qiye took the initiative to deprive the perception, but here is passive, there is nothing that can be perceived, and the perception will naturally disappear. usefulness.

Retreating here is indeed very beneficial to immortal cultivators, but it is not as good as Qiyejue, and the possibility of success is much smaller.

"Little friend, do you have many doubts?"

After taking a look at Zhou Shu, Zhen Yuanting breathed a sigh of relief, "Shushan's current actions are really puzzling."

Zhou Shu thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "I was a little confused at first, but after seeing Senior Zhen, I remembered something. The previous doubts disappeared, but new doubts appeared."

Zhen Yuanting's expression was slightly condensed, "Huh?"

Zhou Shu stared at him, and said slowly, "Senior purposely retreated in this forbidden place, probably because he intends to cross the tribulation by force?"

Zhen Yuanting was stunned for a moment, shook his head unconsciously, and sighed, "What else do you know, little friend?"

"Senior, if you want to overcome the catastrophe, it will be the ninth level of catastrophe, but as far as I know, in the past ten thousand years, only one person in the Xuanhuang world has survived the ninth level and became a monk of the ninth level of catastrophe. He has failed countless times. Experience tells every immortal cultivator that today's Nine Heavens Tribulation is too difficult and almost impossible to overcome. Taking the initiative to cross the calamity is tantamount to going to death. The eighth level is to maintain the sect, wait for the opportunity, and never take the initiative to cross the tribulation until the lifespan is about to expire."

Zhou Shu took a look at Zhen Yuanting, and said slowly, "Senior's lifespan is at least a thousand years old."

Zhen Yuanting was silent.

"Before, the juniors were thinking that if Shushan didn't take the initiative to attack, didn't cut off the barbarian's supplies, didn't ask for help, or even blocked them, and let the barbarian army continue to come and besiege Shushan with all their resources, it should be a plan to catch them all? But at that time I don't understand, how can Shushan do this without losing too much? If you really want to fight the barbarians, I am afraid that Shushan will lose more than half of the elite? And the battlefield is in Shushan, then What a loss outweighs the gain.”

Zhou Shu continued, "But after seeing the seniors, things became much clearer. The power of the Nine Heavens Tribulation is unstoppable. If you can gather the barbarians together and trap them with formations, and then attract the Nine Heavens Tribulations, Under the might of God, the barbarians are naturally doomed. At that time, the barbarian elites will be wiped out, and it will be difficult to recover for at least thousands of years. Most of the tribes will perish. Shushan lost only one elder and a few peaks, but gained most of the resources in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, such an exchange is naturally very cost-effective."

After taking a look at Zhen Yuanting, Zhou Shu said solemnly, "If the younger generation is in charge of Shushan, I will probably make the same choice."

"As expected of a little friend."

Zhen Yuanting was beyond astonishment, he felt admiration in his heart.

He nodded slightly, and said approvingly, "You actually made the plan of the old Taoist clear, yes, that's it."

"Senior, this junior hasn't finished yet," Zhou Shu shook his head and continued, "For Shushan, this approach is naturally very good, but for senior, it is definitely not a good choice. Senior has already passed the tribulation At the eighth stage of the realm, there is still a thousand years of life, and there is still a chance to wait for the great changes in the world and seek a higher realm. The seniors should know that the great changes are coming. At this critical point in time, if I were replaced by the younger generation, I would definitely not go that way made."

He looked at Zhen Yuanting, very puzzled.

"hehe."

Zhen Yuanting smiled while stroking his beard, and nodded, "Little friend is right, the world is about to change, and many things will happen at that time. The world of Xuanhuang will encounter catastrophe, but for the cultivators, it is a catastrophe and an opportunity." , in the great change, we may all die, but it is also possible to break through the shackles and reach a higher level, and even ascending to the immortal may not be impossible."

Zhou Shu seemed to be thinking, "Since the senior understands, why don't you wait for the big change to come and strive to become immortal, instead of choosing to fight the barbarians at this moment?"

Zhen Yuanting smiled lightly, and said slowly, "Hehe, the old man is getting old, and he doesn't have that kind of thought anymore."

Zhou Shu showed a lot of doubts, "Shouldn't a cultivator focus on Taoism? Why did he lose his mind when the opportunity came? He gave up on himself. The senior's words really don't look like a cultivator, which puzzles the younger generation. It's not in line with Shushan's mysterious mind either."

"The old Taoist no longer regards himself as a cultivator."

Zhen Yuanting was still indifferent, and said calmly, "Although a big change is coming, what the old Taoist thinks now is to pave the way for the latecomers. Besides, the old Taoist really owes Shushan too much. Now that there is a chance to pay back, just You have to do it, you don’t have to think about anything else.”

Zhou Shu seemed to have realized something, and said with frowned, "Senior, is this to make up for past mistakes?"

"good."

Zhen Yuanting nodded and said calmly, "It's redemption. If it wasn't the fault of the old Taoist, Shushan had been refined into the Three Realms Pill, and someone from Shushan would have been able to enter the fairy world long ago, changing the fate of the entire Xuanhuang world, making Shushan the number one in the Xuanhuang world." Zongmen, but all these have come to naught, countless resources have been wasted, Shushan has been ridiculed by others, and it has begun to decline... This is all the fault of the old way."

He spoke very calmly, only because the grief and indignation in those words were all blended into the calmness, it was a deeper grief and a more difficult to understand anger.

There is a vibration of hearing thunder in a silent place.

He looked at Zhou Shu, smiled and shook his head, "At the beginning, the old Taoist himself gave up the chance to become an immortal, so do you expect to have another chance?"

"The junior understands."

Zhou Shu nodded and said no more.

Sacrifice himself to pave the way for the younger generation, and also to redeem the past, Zhen Yuanting's choice is understandable and worthy of his own heart.
