Chapter 703: Saving All Living Beings
Inside the mountain, that is, the world inside the Taoist artifact, a crack was also torn open.
This treasure was originally called "Nine Turns Mountain" and came from the Nine Turns Hall. The other six Taoist artifacts also came from a large sect, five of which were Taoist and two were Buddhist.
The inner worlds of the seven Taoist artifacts intersected with each other. Liu Feng and the six brothers came in, as if walking through layers of curtains, through the fire curtain, the thunder curtain, the insect curtain... and came to a confined space where the ground fire was surging.
In the center of the ground fire, the seven-colored chains that bound the old monk and the magic sword that penetrated his body were all dissipating.
Where the old monk sat, a golden lotus bloomed in the fire pool.
Xiangmu and Kongyin, the two oldest disciples, were the first to kneel. The other disciples, including Liu Feng, were excited and bowed their heads.
Any of the seven of them had received too many favors from the old monk, especially Liu Feng, who had reincarnated many times.
A force of Buddha resisted the two disciples who were about to kneel on the ground. The old monk's face was full of cracks, and so were his whole body.
This old monk who used the power of Buddha to forcibly connect his body and aged to the point where his facial features could not be seen clearly was the real body of Tanye Buddha.
"Sit down." Tanye said calmly, waving his hand and seven golden lotuses bloomed in front of him.
Liu Feng and others put away the sorrow in their eyes and sat on the golden lotuses. Suddenly, they felt the sound of Buddha pouring into the spiritual sea, as if tens of thousands of monks were preaching. Tens of thousands of Buddhist sounds overlapped, and every breath sent a huge amount of Buddhist enlightenment into the spiritual sea.
Only those with a strong soul to the level of a quasi-master can withstand such a level of preaching.
The eldest brother Xiangmu, whose face was like a dead tree, looked at his master with a bitter face and asked tentatively: "Disciple dares to ask Master... can he still live?"
Seven pairs of eyes looked at him, and Tanye smiled and shook his head, then nodded slightly.
"They divided up the master's spirit and soul, and their bodies were refined into empty shells. They can't survive."
"However, anyone who took a little bit of the master has a cause and effect with the master, and the master has planted a demon in their hearts."
Tan Ye's voice was tired and old, but he was extremely sure, which made it impossible to question.
And the "they" he mentioned were not ordinary people, all of them were at the level of the leader, but they were still caught unknowingly, or they realized it later and could do nothing about it.
The seven disciples were refreshed. From the Buddhist and Taoist insights poured into the spiritual sea, they knew that the master Tan Ye had realized many great ways, and the more mature ones were at least eight.
Among them, the three paths of universal salvation, cause and effect, and inner demon were the most realized, which were different from other great ways and were elusive.
With these three paths added to his body, he was at the same level as the leader, and even had the hostility of the old generation of leaders, but he was still caught.
Liu Feng had the memory of Daoxuzi, and didn't know much about cause and effect and universal salvation, but he had some insights into the inner demon.
"Once the demon is planted, the one who planted the demon will not be considered truly dead if the host is not dead, and can take advantage of the opportunity to enter and occupy the host's body and soul.
"Take a step back, even if the host is dead, if his obsession is not completely dissipated, the one who planted the demon will exist in his obsession and will not completely disappear."
Thinking of this, Liu Feng remembered his experience in the inner world of Tao Shiyu's previous life. After the death of Ke Qianrou in her previous life, Tan Ye appeared in her obsession illusion.
Such a mysterious and unpredictable avenue, with the cooperation of cause and effect and universal salvation, even if it falls into a complete disadvantage, it is not impossible to turn around and plot against the seven leaders.
Inferring in this way, as long as the strength of their disciples is enough to suppress those leaders, or severely injure them in the fight, Master Tan Ye may replace them.
"There are far more than seven people who have taken my master's divine essence and vitality, and there are some younger generations... After you go to the outer world, I may still be able to help you. "
"Put this aside for now. I have seen the road to heaven at least twenty times from other leaders of the sects I have inhabited. I think what I know will be useful for you in the future. "
Tan Ye spoke again, his tone was always flat, but what he mentioned was that he had plotted against no less than twenty leaders, and all of them had been to the land of heaven.
The seven disciples were shocked and realized that the master's path was different from that of ordinary leaders. Maybe he was not as good as other old leaders in direct fighting, but compared to scheming, I am afraid that no one in the world could match him.
Next, an illusion appeared in their spiritual sea.
The first thing that appeared was the sea of suffering, which was boundless and far beyond the tributaries of the sea of suffering.
The illusion flew away, and the picture turned to the center of the sea of suffering. The water became pure white, and it was a pure white sea.
One by one, the leaders with different auras walked into the pure white sea. Some lost themselves, some went crazy and turned back to the sea of suffering, some fell back into nothingness, and some sat cross-legged in the sea.
Twenty-two figures came one after another, and only two leaders walked into the center of the pure white sea. They sat cross-legged as if they were realizing the truth, and they seemed to be fighting with someone in the air. One of them had a face. Distorted, one person rushed up to the sky.
The last person who rushed to the sky seemed to have crossed hundreds of thousands of years in a short period of time, aged very quickly, and finally turned to ashes.
The illusion ended, and Liu Feng realized something.
The six brothers had no idea. They were only at the level of quasi-leaders. Although they were sure to go further, they would never dare to say that they could succeed after seeing the fate of more than 20 leaders in the illusion.
It turned out that the road to heaven was not a real road. It was like a battle in the air, and the soul had to walk this road.
As for the leader who rushed to the sky, whether he won the battle of souls or forced his way in after losing, it was unknown.
The seven people withdrew their minds from the deduction of the illusion and looked at the master in front of them. They saw that the body had more cracks and the skin and flesh were broken and disintegrated.
Knowing that the master might come back to life, they still couldn't help feeling sad when they saw the master slowly turning to ashes with their own eyes.
Tan Ye looked at the seven disciples one by one, and his eyes were fixed on Liu Feng, because in the corner of the future he foresaw, only Liu Feng appeared in the pure white sea.
The reason why I didn't explain it clearly was just that I didn't want to disappoint the other six disciples.
Furthermore, the previewed future may not actually happen, and the other six may also reach the sky.
"In this life, your name is Zendu, and this is what I call you... Zendu, there is something else you need to complete."
Hearing the master's name, Liu Feng, the six senior brothers Xiangmu and Kongyin understood. After clasping their hands and bowing, they walked out of the sealed space.
Looking at Master's disintegrating body and soul, Liu Feng nodded in agreement without hesitation.
And the golden lotus Buddha's light under his seat became more prosperous, and among the many great enlightenments, more "Pudu" enlightenments appeared.
Tan Ye solemnly said: "The heaven and earth will fall, and all living beings will return to death. However, the thoughts of all living beings will not be dispersed. What I want you to do is to save all living beings before the great calamity comes."
"Saving sentient beings?" Liu Feng was not surprised by the first words, only a little surprised by the last three words.
He was not interested in spending time and effort to save all sentient beings. He thought that even if the master had a compassionate heart to help the world, he would not delay his disciples' cultivation for this reason.
For him to save sentient beings, there must be some profound meaning, which will be useful for his practice and even his ascension to heaven.
As expected, Tan Ye explained: "The thoughts of all living beings can create immortals and Buddhas, and miscellaneous thoughts and resentments can also pollute the minds of immortals and Buddhas. If the thoughts of all living beings are united, no one can stop them."
"By Zen ferry, you are carrying the thoughts of all sentient beings. They will also ferry you in turn and help you on your way to heaven. Only in this way can you have a chance of success. Otherwise... it will be too difficult, too difficult..."
After Liu Feng heard this, he suddenly realized that it was about reaching heaven. The master incarnate and handed him the reincarnation stone. Perhaps he had already had the idea of letting him save all sentient beings.
But now living beings are unable to give birth to offspring, and all life will end in death. He wants to save all living beings, and wants them to believe in him and place their obsessions on him. At least he has to save all living beings before their spirits dissipate. The best way is still Cross the living.
In another two thousand and five hundred years at most, all living beings under the Immortals and Buddhas will run out of life and die. This is still for the Nine Realms. If they move to the Eighth Realm or even below the Eighth Realm, their life span will be even shorter.
After all, the time left for him to save lives is only a thousand years, because after all, there are only a few in the Nine Realms. Even so, it is still destined to be impossible to achieve universal success, so we can only do our best. When he wanted to ask more questions, Liu Feng felt that the soul in front of him was gone, and all he could see was the remains of his body that slowly turned to ashes.
In fact, he also wanted to seek advice from his master to open up a new world and even reshape the possibility of reincarnation.
The blossoming golden lotuses collapsed, and the Buddha's voice that poured into the spiritual sea was cut off. Liu Feng stood up and realized that the suppressed Taoist weapon was about to break free from the forbidden method.
The surrounding fire surged again, and the cracks torn were closing.
Liu Feng snorted coldly, not intending to fight to the death with a few Taoist tools. If he really wanted to use his full strength, he would be promoted to the leader level, and he would compete with the masters of these Taoist tools in Tianwaitian one day.
The figure swayed, and eight arms appeared. As he turned his palms, the seal of destruction and the divine light of breaking the void swept across.
He stepped hard with his foot and shot out of the Dao tool along the crack.
There was thick fog outside, the Buddha's voice and light were all gone, and thousands of mountain shadows reappeared.
More and more cultivators gathered, reaching over half a million. The insect temples were hanging in the air. Where the cultivators were watching, a ray of magic light broke through the barrier of the Taoist treasure light and flew directly in front of them.
Liufeng Demon Dao Shen met with the six senior brothers waiting outside, and looked at some of the cultivators who would later join him.
As soon as the world inside him opened, two pieces of blood mud and a large amount of mixed immortal blood flew out, flying towards the two quasi-religious leaders and many other monks who were assisting in the battle.
The so-called way of salvation is also the way of people's hearts. Winning people's hearts is not just empty words, but also has to come up with benefits. No matter whether he is a direct monk or a follower, he can be the first batch of souls to be saved.
"Walk."
With a command, all the insect temples followed him and fell into the clouds below.
As soon as the insect temple moved, half a million people nearby, as well as the surviving people further away, all flew together with the Buddha's light from the insect temple.
Six senior brothers flew beside him, communicating with Liu Feng.
"Zhen Du, we have something to do here. We should go to Tianwai Tian sooner rather than later. We plan to leave now."
"Senior brothers, my avatar will stay in the virtual world for a period of time to complete the tasks assigned by the master, and then I will go to the outer world with my senior brothers."
Of Liu Feng's two dirty bodies, one evil body was destroyed just now, leaving only the angry body.
The densely packed figures descended, and within half a day, one insect temple was located. It was easy to walk down to the seventh level of the Endless Heaven, but in the end there were more than 300,000 monks less than when they came.
After getting out of the fog, Xiangmu, Kongyin and the other six people nodded with Liu Feng and did not go down any further, but flew towards the Chaos Sky, intending to use the Chaos Sky to reach the void through the Immortal Zet of the Chaos Sky.
Liu Feng's second dirty body walked out angrily, beckoning Lu Yao and Liu Xiaoxiao, and the three followed.
With a thought from the demon's mind and body, the Insect Temple led the remaining monks to fly to the seven realms of the virtual world again. In the next few hundred years, he would assign his forces to gather the living beings.
There were misty clouds in the distance, and the elders of the Three Body Cult and Yongye Palace were watching. Liu Feng Demon Dao Shen paid no attention to them. Looking behind him, there were only four people left, Jing Ling, Cao Tianshi, Qiao Bei, and Ouyang Shuiling.
He has arrangements for those who can bring him to the outer world, or those who have enough potential. For example, Zhou Wan was placed in Hunxianze to practice. If there are enough blood mud tubes from the mud pool of the land of reincarnation, whether he can become a leader depends on his good fortune. .
As for the four people behind him, two are sincerely friends with him, and the other two want to be his cheap bastard all day long. Their qualifications and potential are destined to fail to reach the final step.
But he has followed them till now. Even if he cannot help in the future, he will not abandon them. He will just divide some spiritual objects from his own home to cultivate.
Seeing that Liu Feng rarely showed his sentimental expression and looked quite kind, Cao Tianshi and Jing Ling responded with a smile, Qiao Bei opened his mouth to speak, and Ouyang Shuiling could not help but stretch out her hand, wanting to take the opportunity to ask for some benefits.
"Follow me to the island on the Delusion Sea to practice."
Glancing at the two gluttons, Liu Feng flicked his sleeves and rolled up the four people, flying to the colorful sea water hanging in the chaotic sky.
In the next period of time, he used the fragments of the reincarnation land in the Delusion Sea to realize the truth. In addition to the remains and blood mud including Daoxuzi's head, it was enough to push him to take the next half step, and there would be no accident in achieving the level of a leader.
During this period, in addition to gathering the remaining creatures in the virtual world, he would wait for the arrival of his old friend, Xuandu Laodao, who was in the great world.
...
Time passed, and another five hundred years passed.
Far away from the virtual world and the chaotic sky, the great world of unknown distance.
The dark sky was riddled with holes like a rag, and fragments of the virtual world of varying sizes fell so frequently that they fell every year.
The fragments of the virtual world brought with them filthy air, even evil things and evil spirits, so that 99% of the current world has become a "forbidden land", which is even more dangerous than the forbidden land that once frightened ordinary cultivators.
In such a world, cultivators have a life-or-death experience, and ordinary masters will be completely cut off from survival if they do not enter the inner world of powerful cultivators.
The sky was dark, and the earth was full of evil spirits and polluted human figures. The rare cultivators who flew by were almost all half-dead corpses.
One of the fifteen continents, in the territory of Tianmang Continent.
In a secret place that was rarely completely unpolluted, in front of an exit of the swamp, eight-headed half-poison half-demon Bai Ze was lying on the ground, with dozens of monsters parasitizing on his body.
A large number of evil spirits approached from all sides, attracted by the flesh-and-blood Bai Ze.
Before the evil spirits approached, among the dozens of demons parasitizing Bai Ze, a demon in human form opened its mouth and spewed out a strong demonic energy.
The demonic energy manifested as a rain of arrows, whistling and sweeping across the evil spirits.
"Bang bang..." The swamp suddenly shook violently.
The evil spirits here have not been killed yet, and more than forty thousand feet of deformed bodies crawled over from the depths of the turbid air in the distance.
The eight old Bai Zes were horrified and turned their heads to look at the human-shaped evil spirits, whose faces were Yun Meng.
Yun Meng's clones left the world, and they never thought that Yun Meng would come back again, but after returning, Yun Meng became a demon controlled by people, suspected to be driven by the powerful in the virtual world to do things in the world.
But no matter what, this master is stronger than them, and it is better to be drained of life by the master than to be eaten by the evil spirits.
Yun Meng, wrapped in a black robe, had a gloomy face and a cold look, and was completely different from the Yun Meng in the past.
She was filled with anger. Seeing more than forty evil spirits of the Nine Realms approaching, she mobilized other incarnations with a gloomy face. Dozens of monsters broke away from Bai Ze's body and flew towards the thousand-foot evil spirits.
"Beasts, beasts, all deserve to be killed."
"The one surnamed Liu is a beast, and the old immortal in Xuandu is also a beast. They don't stay in the secret realm and walk around to show kindness. I haven't found him for five hundred years."
Yun Meng kept cursing in her heart. Another monster flew out from the exit of the secret realm behind her.
All the monsters here are her incarnations. The monsters that entered the secret realm to investigate have gone in vain. There is still no trace of the old Taoist in Xuandu here.
Over the years, she has explored several possible places mentioned by Liu Feng one by one, and she has also searched other unrelated secret realms one by one.
To this day, she has only heard rumors that the old Taoist in Xuandu travels around to collect living people, but has never caught the old immortal.
