Chapter 0933: Thoughts of the Uncovered Land

Some people are so selfless that they are willing to give everything for others, while some people are so selfish that they think others should give everything for themselves. Their common feature is that they are calm about "giving" and take it for granted.

These two types of people are extremely rare. Most people are in between the two, wavering between selflessness and selfishness. Even Taoist priests cannot escape the rut. No matter how righteous they are when committing crimes, they still have a little fear and a little self-awareness of their mistakes in their hearts. It is this conscience that makes them suffer in the Demon Cave and never calm down.

Shen Geng is one of the very few most purely selfish people. He has no conscience in his heart, let alone any regrets. He only feels resentful for not getting what he wanted. If it weren't for the Taoist priest's good memory, he wouldn't even remember Er Liang, who was an insignificant mortal he killed in his youth and was not worth recording.

"All Taoists are pursuing self-perfection, but I have it without pursuing it. So I can meditate in the unobstructed land, but unfortunately there is no spiritual energy here. Meditation can only make me quiet, but it can't improve my inner elixir." Shen Geng was a little proud. He hadn't meditated for too long, and he was beaten so many times, so his mood was a little fluctuating.

"Don't lie." Mu Xingqiu's fists itched. After understanding the reason why Shen Geng remained calm, he wanted to beat him up even more.

"I never lie. This is also one of the reasons why I was sent to the Demon Cave by the Taoist sect." Shen Geng said proudly.

"Humph, what did Kun Dun say? Your self-perfection is only an approximation, which runs counter to the real self-perfection." Mu Xingqiu tried his best to control the impulse in his heart and find a way to calm down. He had to do this. Only by staying calm could he think about the way to save himself, otherwise he would gradually become a pure lunatic like other prisoners.

"You stole my memory!" Shen Geng's eyes became gloomy, just like the expression when he invited Mu Xingqiu to join his gang when he was a child but was rejected.

"You know better than me that the weak have nothing. Your memories are there for me to use. Do I need to 'steal' them?" Mu Xingqiu bullied the weak with his strength, and felt a sense of relief in his heart. He knew that he couldn't let this feeling develop, as it would soon become another emotion that controlled him.

Shen Geng's face was ashen, but Mu Xingqiu had already sat cross-legged in the air several feet high, and after a long time he entered a state of meditation.

"Do you also think you are innocent?" Shen Geng whispered. Seeing that Mu Xingqiu was really unaware, he became bolder. "You must be truly innocent like me to have a clear conscience. Mu Xingqiu, you can't do it."

Shen Geng slowly circled around Mu Xingqiu. He wanted to attack several times, but he forced himself to hold back. "Why are you so much stronger than me? How long have I been in the Demon Cave? Has it been hundreds of years?"

Time could not be felt in the Demon Cave. Shen Geng didn't understand why Mu Xingqiu was so much stronger than himself. He thought he had been practicing outside for hundreds of years.

"This is unfair. I can't practice in the Demon Cave, so I'm behind him." Shen Geng said angrily, his mind became more confused, but he was very alert. When he found that he was about to lose control, he immediately left Mu Xingqiu and flew several miles away to stop. Anyway, there was nowhere to escape, so he sat here and entered the state of meditation.

Mu Xingqiu woke up soon. His state of meditation was very shallow, and he could only suppress the surging seven emotions and six desires a little. He still felt anxious and eager to see the splattered blood and broken bones. He silently fought with this impulse, forcibly suppressed it, and began to seriously think about the current situation.

To put it simply, he was really defeated. He couldn't see the successor of the Mind Science in the Unobstructed Land, and even if he saw it, it might not be useful. There was no spiritual energy in the Demon Cave, and there was no way to practice. These were all unexpected accidents.

Mu Xingqiu, who had calmed down, would not give up. He flew in front of Shen Geng, endured and endured, and did not make another move. The state of contemplation can better protect the Niwan Palace, but it is still powerless against the ninth level of mind illusion. Mu Xingqiu can enter Shen Geng's mind and check any memory in it at will.

Mu Xingqiu didn't look carefully enough just now. He wanted to understand why Kun Dun spoke to Shen Geng.

When Shen Geng just entered the Uncovered Land from the Silent Land, he was more violent than Mu Xingqiu. He felt that the Taoist tradition and the whole world had let him down. He angrily made accusations and kept talking, angering other prisoners and getting beaten a lot. He finally became timid and fled everywhere until he met another prisoner. It was this person who told Shen Geng that contemplation could temporarily bring peace in the Uncovered Land.

Shen Geng reached the state of contemplation little by little with a firm belief in "innocence".

Kun Dun appeared at this time. He was isolated from the news in the Demon Cave. The memories of these prisoners were the most important source of information. He had already quietly taken away Shen Geng's memories, and now he was curious about his contemplation.

The two talked for a long time, and self-perfection was only a small part of the content.

After reading these memories, Mu Xingqiu could no longer bear it and knocked Shen Geng, who was meditating, to the ground with a punch. Half of Shen Geng's body was broken into pieces and fell to the ground, and was soon absorbed by the gray-white stone. Shen Geng stood up shakily, gritting his teeth and waiting for his body to recover.

"Why are you hitting me again? Didn't your meditating succeed?"

"It was you who turned Kun Dun into what it is now." Mu Xingqiu wanted to eat Shen Geng alive.

Until he met Shen Geng, Kun Hun had been strictly following the plan made by the Three Ancestors, concentrating on body training in the Demon Cave, and waiting for the Demon Suppression Bell to send the information about the birth of the demon species. At that time, he would be able to leave this place with the help of the nine great treasures, and then he would completely defeat the re-integrated demons with the posture of a surprise force. When the world is at peace, he will gradually return the accumulated cultivation of Taoist priests of all generations to the living Taoist priests, and create a large number of strong people for the Taoist tradition, instead of only himself.

Shen Geng's extreme selfishness pointed out another way for Kun Hun.

In the Demon Cave, time cannot be felt. Kun Hun calculated the length of time through one prisoner after another, and knew that he had spent more than 100,000 years. For some reason, the demon soul did not take any action, and the stupid demon species could hardly escape the suppression of the Taoist tradition.

Shen Geng just thought that the Taoist tradition owed him, and Kun Hun had more reason to have this idea. In the long loneliness and torture, Kun Hun was probably ready for "self-perfection", and all he needed was a spark to ignite it.

Shen Geng is the spark.

This is just Shen Geng's memory. Mu Xingqiu still has some doubts, such as how Kun Dun controlled the Daotong Exterminating Nianxinke outside? How did he refine the remains of the three ancestors into a magic weapon?

Even without Shen Geng, Kun Dun would sooner or later become isolated and selfish. The power he obtained was too strong, so he no longer needed the cooperation of others, but Shen Geng accelerated this process, catching the whole world off guard, and forcing Mu Xingqiu to voluntarily enter the Demon Cave in desperation.

In the plan of the three ancestors, there should be no one in the Demon Cave except Kun Dun, and there should be no time. I don’t know which ancestor transformed the Demon Cave into a prison, giving Kun Dun an intermittent information channel and being able to calculate the years. This is probably the most important reason for his hatred and ambition.

Kun Dun’s body refining should have been a moment of ten thousand years. When he left the Demon Cave, he would only feel that things had changed, and he would not have a strong sense of being abandoned. But once he could calculate time, the practice of the Demon Cave would be a moment of ten thousand years of torture.

The little peace that Mu Xingqiu had finally gained was about to disappear again. While he still had some rationality in his heart, he sat down again to meditate. His heart was surging, and it took a long time to clear his mind.

After opening his eyes again, Mu Xingqiu saw Shen Geng meditating not far from him. He was self-aware and decided not to escape if he couldn't.

The meditating made time chaotic. Mu Xingqiu didn't know how long it had passed. A quarter of an hour, a day, a year... It didn't make sense to him. He only knew one thing: his body and soul had not yet separated, which meant that it had not been twelve years.

The peace that Mu Xingqiu had achieved this time was more solid. He didn't beat Shen Geng again, not because he didn't want to, but because he controlled his impulse. He flew into the sky, and while flying, he performed the mind illusion to find a specific prisoner.

There were more than 30 prisoners in the Uncovered Land, and Mu Xingqiu only recognized two of them, one was Shen Geng, and the other was Feng Ruhui, a Taoist priest from Luanjing Mountain. He was looking for the latter.

Feng Ruhui was imprisoned in the Demon Cave several years earlier than Shen Geng. She was not so selfish and could not approach the state of perfection. She could only accept the endless torture of the seven emotions and six desires. But the strange thing was that she was the one who told Shen Geng that she could temporarily calm down by thinking.

The Uncovered Land has no boundaries. If you want, you can fly forever, and there is no end. If you turn around, you may find yourself still in the same place. It is such a strange place.

It is easy to find the high emotions with the mind illusion. Mu Xingqiu immediately recognized Feng Ruhui among more than 30 prisoners. No one is as trapped in the love tribulation as she is.

Feng Ruhui knelt on the ground, changing between the young and old appearances, like a chameleon who can't distinguish the surrounding environment. She was putting on makeup for herself, pretending to have rouge in her hands and pretending to have a mirror opposite.

Mu Xingqiu stood in front of her for a long time before Feng Ruhui raised her head, revealing an old face with no smile on it, full of despair and sadness, "Why do I want to be a Taoist priest? Why can't I have the most ordinary love like a mortal? My requirements are not high, right?"

Feng Ruhui has not been in the Demon Cave for too long, but she has entered the late stage of body and soul separation, faster than other prisoners.

In the unprotected place, it is easy to hate someone, and sympathy is also available. Mu Xingqiu had to step aside and enter the contemplation again.

Feng Ruhui did not leave, she did not want to move at all, and the whole person was immersed in the bitter sea of ​​self-pity. In front of her eyes, she was in a lingering scene with Ning Qiwei, the former master of Pangshan, and then the illusion was shattered, and she and her former lover killed each other on the top of the mountain.

After waking up, Mu Xingqiu took Feng Ruhui's memory directly and flew away. Feng Ruhui's memory was very scattered, and Mu Xingqiu would rather sort it out slowly than see her again.

Finally, he found the relevant memories. Feng Ruhui's flash of inspiration actually came from Fangfang.
