Chapter 0929: Unprotected Land
Direct sunlight comes from all directions, even from the ground, and you can't avoid it even if you lower your head. In fact, there is no such thing as the sun, it is just a bright light that is more dazzling than the sun. It is everywhere, piercing the skin, cutting the muscles, roasting the blood, and even breaking through. Entering Santian, one looks like a group of officers and soldiers breaking into a prisoner's home. Their eyes are fierce and contemptuous, without any sympathy. They hold swords and guns tightly in their hands, scaring the prisoners so much that they dare not even blink.
Three fields fell, emotions and desires were dishonest, like a pack of evil wolves patrolling inside Mu Xingqiu's body. The moment he entered the unprotected land, these evil wolves rushed up to bite his body crazily. He waved his arms angrily to fight against the wolves. After a while, he suddenly found that his arms were two evil wolves, also gnawing at his shoulders.
Mu Xingqiu rushed into the sky and was able to cast spells in an unprotected area, and he cast spells without control. For a simple spell like flying, his three inner elixirs had to operate at full capacity, providing excessive mana. Cherish it, just like a profiteer who is being traced and has no way to escape. He can't wait to squander every penny of his money.
The illusion of Kun Chaos still followed him step by step. His thick beard was parted in the middle and fluttering to both sides like wings. "Feel this unobstructed pain. Mu Xingqiu, you should feel lucky that you are here to bear the pain." If I stayed for ten more years, I would have endured it for a total of 130,000 years!”
Mu Xingqiu suddenly calmed down, stopped flying in the air, turned to Kun Chaos, and asked in surprise: "Are you also a prisoner in the Devil's Cave?"
He was easily surprised by anything now, not to mention Kun Chaos words were indeed a bit unexpected.
Kun Chao's expression was cold, and his emotions seemed to be heightened in the unprotected land, but this might just be Mu Xingqiu's illusion.
"I am the master of the Demonic Cave." Kun Chao corrected Mu Xingqiu's mistake in a contemptuous tone, "It is easier to collect the Taoist priests' practices, but the most difficult thing is to withstand these powers. Ordinary Fu Rimang Taoist priests do not have this ability. A tough physique must be tempered for a long time to improve the physique to match the strength. But even the third ancestor was not willing to make such a sacrifice. At that time, I was the only one who stood up and voluntarily suffered the pain of separation of body and soul. I was the first to move into Bamo Cave, a place that even they themselves would rather die than enter. I didn’t expect to stay here for hundreds of thousands of years, nor did I expect that it would become a prison for the Taoist order in the future.”
Mu Xingqiu looked down and found that he had returned to the ground, or the ground had returned to his feet. It was all gray-white rocks with no end. It was so hot that his feet were scalding, but he was in the calmest state since entering the Uncovered Land. A stage, so I feel that this burning heat is not worth it.
"Since it's just for physical training, why do we need to create a place without self?" Mu Xingqiu could hear his own voice. It was dry, like vegetables that had been dried out in the sun.
"That's just in case. If I can't stand the test in the Uncovered Land, my body will disappear, and my remaining soul will hide in the Selfless Land. When the time comes, Zhenqi Tower will build another one for me. With my physical body, I can return to the Uncovered Land and start refining my body again.”
Kun Chao was willing to answer any questions Mu Xingqiu had, because he knew that a bigger storm was coming and Mu Xingqiu would not get any help from his words.
"But you've never used the rare building?"
"No, in order for me to concentrate on cultivating my existing body, the Third Ancestor set up more and deeper pain in the Selfless Land. It was not a temptation, but a last resort. They were overthinking it. I didn't see myself wrong. I was Hold on without shelter.”
"I can do it too," Mu Xingqiu said.
Kun Chao laughed loudly, "What an arrogant boy. When I entered the Demon-Bashing Cave, I was already at the highest level of the seventh level of Sunlight. The Third Ancestor personally cast spells and blessings on me. In the past 130,000 years, I have been able to pull out demons." The body refining cave, the sword washing pool is silent, the furnace does not go out without a cover, the momentary platform has no self, the rare tower protects the body, the Mingding cauldron guards the soul, the magic bell transmits the movement of the demon seeds, the mirror of light protects me with a glimmer of clarity, the ancestor tower collects Taoist priests Practice, Mu Xingqiu, what do you have?"
Mu Xingqiu had nothing.
"It turns out that the inherited human form in the Taoist Niwan Palace is used to steal the results of practice." Mu Xingqiu suddenly realized, and finally understood why there were no humanoids in the Niwan Palace of him and Xiao Hao, because the Nianxin Department had long been discontinued, and from the Patriarch's Tower There is no real inheritance.
"Stealing? This is the fee paid by the Taoist priests for their practice. Otherwise, why would the Taoist tradition open its doors and recruit so many disciples? Moreover, inheritance can indeed strengthen their Niwan Palace, which has great benefits. This is also the case for Taoist priests. They have accumulated wealth in advance for self-protection. Without this wealth, the orthodoxy will be overthrown by the demons sooner or later. "
"But the Taoist tradition will inevitably be destroyed in your hands."
"For what reason you are born, you will naturally die for what reason. After the demons are eliminated, Taoism will have no value in existence, but Taoist priests will not just die. Mu Xingqiu, you have never become a true Taoist priest, and you have never had the heart of a Taoist priest. , so you don’t understand what ‘perfection’ is. I will select some qualified Taoist priests to help them reach perfection. They are qualified to share this world with me. The number will not be too many. I think nine is suitable, just right. Corresponding to nine treasures..."
Kun Chaos illusion suddenly disappeared, as if he remembered something important and had to put Mu Xingqiu aside.
Mu Xingqiu felt an inexplicable irritation. His seven emotions and six desires were like the more than 300 souls of Lord Yishi. Once the main soul hesitated, they would rush to appear first.
A Taoist priest ran in front of him. He had sparse beard and hair and wrinkles. He looked to be seventy or eighty years old. His running posture was very strange. He would stop every four or five steps. Whenever he stopped, he would be as motionless and lifeless as a wooden man. .
Mu Xingxing cast an illusion and quickly understood what was going on. This Taoist priest was in the late stage of separation of body and soul. The fusion of the two had been broken. Every few steps, his soul would leave his body and run to the front. After discovering it, he would Return to the body, and the cycle continues.
I don't know how long this Taoist priest has been staying in the Uncovered Land. In Mu Xingqiu's memory, this person was not among the Taoist priests who were sent to Bamo Cave in recent decades. It must have been earlier.
The old Taoist priest ran to Mu Xingqiu's side, and his soul ran over again. His body stopped and his eyes dimmed. After a while, it lit up again, like charcoal covered with ashes, with only the last bit left to burn.
"Isn't slaying demons just about killing? Isn't becoming stronger just to kill without being killed? Thousands of mortal lives, how can they be compared to a Taoist priest's life? Tell me, why do you want to imprison me? Entering the Demon Cave? I’m not convinced!”
This Taoist priest obviously committed a crime that brought harm to the world.
"Are there any Nianxin disciples here?" Mu Xingqiu asked angrily. Although Kun Chao claimed that all the Nianxin disciples had entered the land of no self, he still refused to give up. In the land of no cover, doubt is the most common emotion. one.
The two of them were so close that the almost solid fireball landed on Mu Xingqiu's chest as soon as it was released.
Although the Taoist priest looked old, he was only capable of swallowing smoke. This magic was too weak for Mu Xingqiu, but instead aroused the anger in his heart that was already eager to try.
Mu Xingqiu glared, and the fireball, which was as powerful as a vicious dog, seemed to suddenly see the evil person who had beaten him so hard. He turned around and ran away. He didn't stop even after bumping into his master. He rushed more than a hundred steps away before the fireball disappeared.
The old Taoist's body fell to the ground on his back, but his soul remained where it was. He was stunned for a moment, and then continued to rush towards Mu Xingqiu, completely like a mad dog.
Mu Xingqiu showed no mercy, and with one illusion move, the old Taoist priest's soul was thrown an unknown distance, and it would take a long time to find his body again.
The anger in Mu Xingqiu's heart was still unabated. He flew to the body of the old Taoist priest and stepped on it several times before leaving.
There is no death in the Demon-Batting Cave, and even if the body is trampled to pieces, it will return to its original state after a while. This was originally a method of protection provided by Zhenqi Tower for Kun Chaos, but at the same time it became an endless torture for the prisoner.
"Kun Chaos! Come out!" Mu Xingqiu shouted, feeling more and more that the fight just now was not satisfying enough. Instead of feeling the joy of victory, he became even more furious.
Kun Chao would not listen to the call of a prisoner, and it was no use Mu Xingqiu shouted until his voice was hoarse. He flew into the sky, looking for other opponents everywhere, "Shen Geng! Mu Xingqiu is here, come out quickly!"
The land without cover has no boundaries. Mu Xingqiu flew around in a big circle but could not find Shen Geng. He didn't know whether it was because he was too far away or because Shen Geng collapsed quickly and now he has entered the land of no self. He met three other Taoist priests one after another. Their bodies and souls had not been completely separated, and their bodies were not as complete as the old Taoist priests. They were all very similar to Pei Zihan after he transformed into a demon.
The first Taoist priest fell to the ground and cried bitterly, shouting something vaguely. The second Taoist priest acted like no one was around and made all kinds of nasty actions, shouting the same thing. The third Taoist priest scratched the gray-white rocks with his bare hands, and pulled the He hurriedly put every small piece of gravel he picked out into his mouth, fearing that others would snatch it away and his fingers would be dripping with blood, but he just stretched out his tongue to lick it, completely unaware of the pain.
Mu Xingqiu had no sympathy in his heart, only anger. When he saw one fighting another, these three people were relatively strong. The first two were Xingluo and the last one was Zhenshen, but they were all vulnerable to him. Even if they tried their best When he ran away, he did not get rid of the control of his emotions. He was still crying, yelling, and licking blood...
Every victory made Mu Xingqiu angrier. He hated everything, especially his wrong decision: throwing himself into a trap and entering the Demon-pulling Cave. As a result, no Nianxin disciples could be found in the Uncovered Land. Once he entered the Selfless Land, The whole plan is meaningless, but all he has left is his soul.
Everything was within Kun Chaos plan, and he couldn't escape.
Mu Xingqiu flew non-stop. After an unknown amount of time, he finally saw the face he hated the most.
Shen Geng was sitting there, thinking and practicing, with a calm look on his face, which was incompatible with the entire Demon Demon Cave.
