Chapter 404 The Essence of the Immortal Cultivation World
When Lu Chen heard the words 'Luo Changming' from Hualing's mouth, Lu Chen didn't have much reaction.
In other words, when he saw the connection between Shen Feiyang and the Great Wilderness Tower, he vaguely guessed the relationship between Jiuyao Tiandu and the Black Lotus Sect.
Lu Chen didn't think that Jiu Yao Tian would cooperate with the Black Lotus Sect.
After all, one is in the extreme west of the Immortal Alliance and the other is in the extreme south of the Immortal Alliance.
The physical distance between the two sides alone is thousands of miles apart.
Not to mention the status of Jiuyao Tiandu itself in the Immortal Alliance and its stance.
It is destined that they will not be able to have any substantive transactions with the Black Lotus Sect.
Therefore, after Lu Chen learned about Shen Feiyang's hidden identity and the origin of the mysterious female ghost in his body,
There is a vague speculation that Jiuyao Tiandu may have used some special means to place its own people in the Black Lotus Sect.
However, these were just speculations before and have not been confirmed.
After all, even Shen Feiyang's hidden identity was secretly guessed by Lu Chen.
You must know that even Shen Feiyang's immediate boss, Yu Tianqi, did not actually know Shen Feiyang's original identity as the Black Lotus Sect.
And how did Lu Chen know this?
The problem was actually not complicated. The main thing was that Lu Chen found that every time he met Shen Feiyang, he could sense the subtle power of Gu Gang from the other party.
At first, he thought that these ancient powers came from the mysterious female ghost in his body.
But later Lu Chen discovered that the actual situation was not like this.
Because apart from the first meeting, if I meet Shen Feiyang the rest of the time.
The mysterious female ghost in the opponent's body will be in a quiet state.
It seems that he is deliberately avoiding himself.
In this case, this ancient power cannot be radiated by the other party.
Combining Shen Feiyang's own experience, Lu Chen deduced that he had some ancient power that was vague or absent.
Most likely it was due to his long-term contact with monk Gu Gang.
While in Luo City, which organization of Guji monks was the most active?
That must be the Black Lotus Sect.
Therefore, Lu Chen had suspicions about Shen Feiyang.
I wonder if this guy is an undercover agent placed by the Black Lotus Sect in the Immortal League.
But later, Shen Feiyang's performance when the Black Lotus Sect invaded Luo Cheng No. 1 Middle School made Lu Chen deny this possibility.
After all, he didn't see with his own eyes how Shen Feiyang fought at that time.
But from other people's words, he knew that Shen Feiyang could stop a large number of Black Lotus cultivators by himself.
Discuss the deeds regardless of the heart.
Based on the situation at that time, Shen Feiyang could completely destroy the four-image formation in Luocheng No. 1 Middle School.
Then pretend to be invincible, there is no need to go to this extent.
This is not a question of acting or not, but a question of risks and benefits, as well as stance.
Shen Feiyang used his actions to prove his position.
It also made Lu Chen understand this guy's positioning of himself from the side.
A genius from the Immortal Alliance whose heart is devoted to the Immortal Alliance and whose actions are also directed towards the Immortal Alliance, but who is always contaminated by the power of Gu Gang.
In addition, Lu Chen guessed that the other party did not practice Guji Kung Fu.
Lu Chen was very confident that the other party must have become an undercover agent of the Black Lotus Sect's Immortal Alliance in some way.
But as a result, more problems will arise.
Since he is an undercover agent, the Black Lotus Sect will definitely test Shen Feiyang.
Based on Shen Feiyang's performance at Luocheng No. 1 Middle School.
There is no reason for the people of the Black Lotus not to liquidate him.
But Shen Feiyang is not only living well now.
Moreover, the vague and vague ancient power in his body has never dissipated.
Even if the other party went to Xuanshui Taoist Academy to study for a year, and later came to Dahuang Tower to participate in the Taoist Competition.
But when Lu Chen met him not long ago, he still felt the faint power of Gu Gang.
And as Lu Chen's cultivation level improved, his perception in this area became more acute.
So much so that he could identify the source of this ancient power.
It is the aura of the Black Lotus Buddha Mother who is unique to the Black Lotus Sect.
In this way, Lu Chen felt that Shen Feiyang was able to avoid being liquidated after the Black Lotus Sect failed to invade Luo City No. 1 Middle School.
Someone must have suppressed the news for him.
And this person's status in the Black Lotus Sect must be high.
Combined with what Lu Chen himself saw from Shanhai Division through his extremely high authority, he saw the relationship between Shen Feiyang and Yu Tianqi.
Naturally, it is easy for him to think of Luo Changming later.
According to Shanhaisi's records, Luo Changming had been to Huangzhou.
Summarizing so much information, Lu Chen deduced that the female ghost in Shen Feiyang's body was given to her by Luo Changming, which was not difficult.
Otherwise, a statue of an immortal located deep in the Great Wilderness Tower.
How to lend his power to an ordinary high school student in Los Angeles thousands of miles away.
However, Lu Chen didn't know that Luo Changming, the deputy leader of the Black Lotus Sect, was actually related to Hualing.
After all, he is a human being, not a god, and cannot be omniscient or omnipotent.
Before, he didn't even know who Hua Ling was.
Naturally, it is even more impossible to know this.
After knowing this, Lu Chen naturally became curious.
I am curious about the real situation of Luo Changming, the deputy leader of the Black Lotus Sect on the surface.
After all, according to the information he has received so far.
Although the deputy leader of the Black Lotus Sect has seen the beginning of the dragon, he has not seen the end.
But every time it appears, it can cause a lot of trouble to the Immortal Alliance.
"Do you want to ask, did Luo Changming join the Black Lotus Sect out of sincerity, or did he have other plans?"
Lu Chen nodded, indicating that this was what he meant.
Hua Ling's answer surprised Lu Chen.
"Joining the Black Lotus Sect should be the child's original intention. There is no doubt about this."
"Because when it comes to faith, those guys from the Black Lotus do have their own unique methods."
"You want to pretend to be a member of the Black Lotus Sect and then sneak into it. It's okay to say it's just a peripheral or low-level one."
"But it is impossible for a deputy leader to achieve this step."
"So the child has really joined the Black Lotus Sect, but his belief...may have some problems."
“Is there a problem with faith?”
Lu Chen frowned, not quite understanding the meaning of these words.
Perhaps it was because Lu Chen already had these qualifications.
Or maybe Hualing is planning to invest in Lu Chen in advance.
Therefore, she didn't bother and explained it directly to Lu Chen.
"I don't know what you think about belief in gods and Buddhas, but in our Tiandu, belief is actually real and objective."
"In a sense, faith is also a manifestation of spiritual power."
"You should know that even ordinary people without spiritual power still have subtle spiritual power in their bodies, right?"
"Um."
Ordinary people also have spiritual power in their bodies. This is something that every immortal cultivator knows.
It's common sense.
After all, in a world full of spiritual power, it is impossible for a creature with no spiritual power in its body to exist.
This is like trying to make sure you don't get even a drop of water on yourself in a sea full of water.
After being awakened by the flower bell, Lu Chen had an idea flash in his mind.
"You mean that a being like the Black Lotus Buddha Mother can absorb the spiritual power unconsciously emitted by living beings through faith and practice with it?"
Hua Ling smiled and nodded, expressing that the so-called faith was actually just that.
It is true that the spiritual power that an ordinary person unintentionally exudes is very small.
So tiny that you can barely notice it.
But when the base number reaches a certain level, the combined power becomes extremely huge.
After all, Lu Chen had a joke in his previous life.
If everyone in the country gives someone one dollar, that person can become a billionaire in an instant.
Faith is a similar principle.
Perhaps because she thought that was all, Hua Ling simply said a little more.
"Now that you know the relationship between faith and ordinary people, why don't you think about why the Immortal Alliance values ordinary people so much, and why monks sacrifice themselves for ordinary people."
"You must know that if you just rely on ideological guidance, there may be some monks who can achieve this fearless spirit of sacrifice."
"But for most monks to do this, this cannot be explained by a few sentences."
"The human heart is the most complex thing in the world and the hardest to grasp."
"What made the Immortal League formulate such a rule, and what drove them to resolutely implement this rule? Have you ever seriously thought about it?"
Some problems are better off not thinking about them in detail.
If you think about it carefully, you will find that there are indeed many problems hidden in it.
It is indeed common sense in the Immortal Alliance that monks protect ordinary people.
It is also a rule that all Immortal Alliance monks must abide by.
But what kind of group are monks?
Monks are a special group of individuals who have mastered powerful powers.
I want this group of people to voluntarily protect ordinary people who have nothing to do with them.
This is undoubtedly a difficult thing.
Not to mention spreading this rule to the entire group.
To achieve this, there was only one possibility that Lu Chen could think of.
That is, the life and death of mortals will affect the interests of the monks as a group to a certain extent.
Combined with what Hua Ling just said about faith.
Lu Chen slowly had a bold idea in his mind.
"You mean that the overall spiritual power concentration of the Immortal Alliance depends to a certain extent on the number of mortals?"
"The more mortals there are, the higher the concentration of spiritual energy in the Immortal Alliance as a whole."
"The higher the concentration of spiritual power in the Immortal Alliance, the higher the possibility of giving birth to geniuses and powerful monks."
"The more powerful the monk is, the more spiritual power he needs, and the more he needs the Immortal Alliance to increase the concentration of spiritual power."
"This forms the basis of the current Immortal Alliance and the relationship between monks and mortals, right?"
"..."
Hua Ling glanced at Lu Chen in surprise, obviously not expecting that Lu Chen could guess so quickly.
She didn't sell it, and answered directly: "Well, the core reason is pretty much the same as what you said, but in some aspects you are limited by your own realm and sources of information, so you can't deduce it."
"But for being able to guess this far, you are indeed very special."
"Yes, in a sense, the strength of the Immortal Alliance depends to a large extent on the number of mortals in the Immortal Alliance."
"Only when there are enough mortals can we have the ability to create a sufficient number of strong men in the Immortal Alliance."
"The key to this is not only the spiritual power that mortals subconsciously emit every moment, but also some other special reasons."
"Needless to say the former, you can simply think of mortals as soil, and we monks are the fruit trees planted on these soils."
"Only when the soil is fertile can fruit trees thrive."
"Another special reason is in the current Heavenly Dao."
"According to the information I have proved so far, the Heavenly Dao of this era is abnormal."
"The higher the cultivation level, the more you can find this."
"The Heavenly Dao today is like a bird in a cage. Although it is still playing a basic role, some of the most core effects are sealed up by something, such as..."
Before Hua Ling finished speaking, Lu Chen followed up and said: "...For example, the Hongmeng Qi?"
Sway!
As soon as these four words came out, the teacup in Hua Ling's hand fell to the ground.
She looked at Lu Chen in astonishment, not understanding how he, a small Yuanying cultivator, knew the four words of Hongmeng Qi.
You know, even some Huashen cultivators may not know these four words.
After all, the information contained in these four words and the impact caused by their spread are very terrifying.
Once someone with ulterior motives spreads this news.
The Dao hearts of many people will collapse instantly.
After all, no matter how difficult it is to ascend, the word "ascension" has always been the obsession of all cultivators.
But if you tell them that it is impossible to ascend in this era.
Or, it is absolutely impossible to ascend in normal ways, then their Dao hearts will inevitably be affected.
Therefore, Hua Ling reacted like this when she heard these four words from Lu Chen.
This is not something he should know.
However, after being shocked for a moment, Hua Ling regained her composure.
"I don't know where you know these four words, but you'd better not tell anyone easily. This is a lesson learned by the Immortal Alliance through painful experience."
"And since you know these four words, you must also know the meaning of these four words."
"If I tell you that the Immortal Alliance has a way to use mortals to make this thing that should not appear in this era reappear in the light of day, do you still think that the various rules of the Immortal Alliance are abnormal?"
This time it was Lu Chen's turn to be shocked.
Because he didn't expect that the legendary Hongmeng Qi could be obtained by the Immortal Alliance through mortals.
In this way, everything becomes reasonable.
The top level of the Immortal Alliance needs the power of Hongmeng, and the middle level of the Immortal Alliance needs the concentration of the Immortal Alliance's spiritual power to increase, so as to speed up their own cultivation.
Although the lower level of the Immortal Alliance does not know this.
But when the interests of the upper and middle levels and the lowest level are unified, the ideas of the lower level do not need to be considered too much.
Lu Chen did not ask the Immortal Alliance what method is used by mortals to condense the Hongmeng Qi.
Because he knew that even if he asked, Hua Ling would definitely not tell.
After all, this question involves the highest level in the Immortal Alliance.
That is, the top cultivator in the mortal world today... the Mahayana period·Hongchen Immortal.
Hongchen Immortal is also an immortal, and Lu Chen, who has seen Hongchen Immortal take action with his own eyes.
It is very clear how powerful this level is.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen finally understood why Hua Ling could achieve a semi-immortal now without the Hongmeng Qi.
He also understood why the Muyao Star Region is the only two star regions in Tiandu that are in contact with the Immortal Alliance.
Needless to say, the Hongmeng Qi that Hua Ling needs to break through to the semi-immortal must be given by the Immortal Alliance.
This is the fundamental reason why the Immortal Alliance can be above all other sects, and command them and make rules.
It is because the Immortal Alliance has a rare resource that all sects need.
There is no eternal friendship, but there are eternal interests.
The Immortal Alliance bound by interests is indeed more reliable than any other method...
