Chapter 1056: The Profound Will of the Semi-Saint: Return!

It's too late!

The semi-saint's profound will is the semi-saint's most extreme condensation of the holy way. It is the semi-saint's most powerful application of the "Tao" based on his own interpretation of the "Tao"!

This is more difficult to refine than the semi-saint incarnation. It has the most deadly "guidance" and "interpretation" power. Its superior substitute is only the "Saint Emperor's Golden Edict"!

In other words...

Under the whole world, except for the "Saint Emperor's Golden Edict", the "Semi-saint's Profound Will" can be suppressed.

Among the same and lower ranks, except for a very small number of people, it is basically impossible to abandon the influence of the "Semi-saint's Profound Will".

——Those who are devoted to the Tao, facing the most essential interpretation of the Holy Way, are all fascinated and try to reach it.

The strange behaviors of Xiao Kongtong and Ye Xiaotian all come from this.

On the other hand, Mei Jiren is different from the previous two. In the previous era, he already had the experience of meeting the emperor and fought against the "Semi-saint's Profound Will" and knew what level of power it was.

Unfortunately, after the Half Saint Mysterious Decree was destroyed in the spiritual world, it was too late to persuade and stop the two people beside him.

No one would have thought that Jiang Buyi would leave such a strong backhand after he left, not to mention that this was used after he had lost a half-life incarnation.

——This loss is greater than losing two half-saint incarnations in a row. Jiang Buyi, what is he looking for?

Mei Jiren couldn't figure it out.

But he seemed to understand why Jiang Buyi had so much nonsense before leaving.

That guy used the conversation to divert everyone's attention from him and transfer it to himself, just to weaken everyone's attention, so that everyone could not react at the first moment when the "Half Saint Mysterious Decree" was triggered.

There is no doubt that Jiang Buyi succeeded!

In the field, when the black and red Half Saint Mysterious Decree was spread out in the sky, it seemed that only Mei Jiren was awake.

The heads of all the others began to dizzy, and then they looked up involuntarily.

In the spiritual world of Ye Xiaotian and Xiao Kongtong, this "Half-Saint Profound Will" is just like the "Saint Emperor Golden Edict" seen under the deep sea that day...

Xiao Kongtong has not even experienced the Saint Emperor Golden Edict sent down by his teacher!

But at this moment, he looked up at the sky and still felt his insignificance.

The spiritual world is completely filled with the "Half-Saint Profound Will", which contains the most extreme condensation of the Half-Saint for the Holy Way, but the content is not much, just one word:

"Return!"

What is "return"?

"Universal vanity begins with chaos; dust sounds and fruits begin with nothingness..."

"The Tao has no decoration, the Saint points to the original heart; the unpolished jade should be returned, and the humble me returns to the truth..."

The Half-Saint Profound Will only has a condensed word "return", but those who see the Half-Saint's true work hear the holy sound.

These interpretations of "return" by the Half-Saints heavily bombarded the minds of all those who saw the Half-Saint Profound Will, like a huge bell, cleansing the soul.

"Puff!"

Ye Xiaotian immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, and his vitality was seriously damaged.

Unlike the "Golden Edict of the Holy Emperor" at that time, which was just a "declaration", the "Semi-Saint Mysterious Edict" in front of him was more like an "order".

It ordered all those who were devoted to the Tao to remove all the flashy disguises and return to themselves. Only in this way can they touch the original heart of people and achieve "not being happy with things, not being sad with oneself", so as to transcend the world and touch the holy way.

"I was wrong..."

Ye Xiaotian's eyes showed a strong repentance.

He finally understood that leaving the Holy Palace and building the Spirit Palace was a "sealing" of his original heart.

He had seen the upper world and hated the power struggle, but the way he chose to fight was to escape, not to stick to his original heart and prove the Tao with force.

This is why, after more than ten years, he finally saw his original heart clearly and made a belated breakthrough.

Now, he is deceiving himself again!

The battle between the semi-saints was not something that I could intervene in at my current level, but in order to enter the game, I swallowed the holy blood and intervened forcefully.

This way of greed for external things, craving for shortcuts, and gaining power is not the way to prove the way and become a saint!

People should "return" to the truth...

"Puff!"

This thought flashed through his mind, and Ye Xiaotian spurted out another mouthful of blood.

This time, it seemed that he spurted out more than just blood. The mystery formation diagram under his feet spun and showed signs of cracking.

At the same time, the external power that he begged for - the holy blood, also turned into rich holy power and spread out of his body.

Ye Xiaotian seemed to have aged by dozens of years, with wrinkles and black spots on his body.

From the interpretation of "Tao" and the yearning for "saint", in an instant, it became "over-interpretation", "over-infatuation", "greed" and "loss", which was fully displayed on Ye Xiaotian.

"I was really wrong..."

Ye Xiaotian regretted it so much that he even thought of dying for his faith and returning to his roots.

He stretched out his hands and stabbed his chest, as if he wanted to tear open his flesh and blood, cut open his heart and lungs, prove the world with his true self, turn himself into chaos, and return to the most primitive state of "saint" and "Tao" - nothingness!

"Ignorance!"

At this moment, a hideous monster rushed into Ye Xiaotian's spiritual world, stepping on the Ten Kings of Ghosts, and his body was entangled in the world of mortals.

If the private school teacher in the secular world held a teaching stick, the monster rushed to the student who was obsessed with trivial matters and chopped him down with a sword without saying anything.

"People follow Tao, Tao follows nature, and then become saints!"

"But people return to people, Dao returns to Dao, and saints return to saints. The three are not the same thing... Following the Dao and becoming saints does not mean 'turning the Dao into the saints' and cultivating chaos!"

"Gold is not pure, and no one is perfect; the world is not perfect, and I am not perfect... Becoming perfect does not mean that you will become perfect, because the perfection you imagine does not exist in the world at all!"

Mei Jiren's sword elephant roared, its eyes were red, like a transcendent person who entered and emerged from the mortal world, giving a warning to those who were about to fall into the abyss in the most understandable words. , pulled it back.

"Don't take advantage of other evil ways..."

"Wake up, old man!"

He slashed it down with a sword, and the true meaning of the Semi-Saint Profound Decree "Return" that guided him in the world of Ye Xiaotian's mind, "Dust to ashes, soil to soil", was instantly wiped out.

"scare!"

Ye Xiaotian, who suddenly woke up, was soaked to the skin, his body shook violently, and his eyes regained consciousness.

The sweat on his forehead dripped down the bridge of his nose, and he felt a burning pain in his chest. When he lowered his head, he realized that he had almost torn his body in half and took out his liver and lungs. Naturally, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

"You're obsessed..."

Mei Jiren sighed lightly. After waking up one person, he did not dare to delay at all, and then looked at Xiao Kongtong.

Ye Xiaotian hurriedly took out the elixir for himself and drank it, trying hard to block his body's original impulse and not letting himself take another look at the semi-sacred decree.

After roughly repairing his injuries, he had enough energy to look at Xiao Kongtong on the side.

Xiao Kongtong's condition is much better than him.

The most difficult thing for ancient sword cultivators to cultivate is will, and the most powerful thing is also will.

Therefore, Xiao Kongtong was more able to persevere than Ye Xiaotian, but after all, after seeing the Semi-Saint Profound Edict, he only lasted ten breaths longer than Ye Xiaotian, and a deep look of repentance appeared on his face.

With such a look, the true meaning of "return" is reflected.

Xiao Kongtong's face squirmed and was no longer the face he was familiar with. At the same time, the scar on his neck faded away, and his thumbs grew back and returned to their original appearance.

"this……"

Meiji was stunned for a moment.

You, you, you...are you not the Eight Masters? !

Before he could help, Xiao Kongtong's face showed a fierce struggle after returning to his original appearance, as if he was having the most intense battle in his heart.

The memory is a blur...

Xiao Kongtong felt like he had gone back to his childhood, when he met the man who had led him to a mediocre destiny, and turned to another extreme man.

This is the most extreme "return" in his spiritual world.

"Young man, I see that you have an excellent appearance and extraordinary muscles and bones. You look like an immortal from heaven, and you also have a phaseless sword body... Oh, this sword body is so good for me, but I just lack this thing... Uh, I got sidetracked. Let's put it this way, I have a peerless secret book here, which is the inheritance of what I have learned throughout my life. It will never be seen in thousands of years... Do you want to learn it? "

It was hard to imagine that these words, which seemed like deception, came from the mouth of a man in a white shirt with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.

He carries two giant swords on his back, one purple and one gold, and there are two thin swords on his waist, one black and one green. He looks graceful and noble, with extraordinary bearing, but his words are astonishing, like a charlatan.

"You are the 'kidnapping man' mentioned in the book, right? A man who specializes in deceiving children and abducting them for money." The child was not fooled at all. He licked the candy man in his hand and looked curiously at the man who was following the weird uncle. , I can’t see her appearance clearly, I just remember that she should be a very good-looking aunt... Is this the "kidnapping woman"?

"Ahem!" The abductor man seemed to be choked, "Little brat, where are your parents?"

"I'm from Wanfutang. Grandma Hu buys fruit there. She will come to me soon." The child pointed elsewhere, where there was an old woman looking around, extremely frightened... Hey, Hu Grandma can’t seem to see me?

"Are you an orphan from Wanfu Hall?" the abductor man murmured, not caring, "Little brat, my inheritance is the most powerful. Anyway, I don't charge money, and I don't plan to sell you. You accept my peerless secret book. Just read it when you have time. You should be able to read it and learn it quickly."

He couldn't help but take out a thick ancient book, and his voice was full of temptation, "Do you want to go to heaven? Do you want to fly with a sword? Do you want to be as free and unrestrained as an immortal? Open this book, and you can Do it!”

"I want to..." The child had put down the candy, and seemed to be tempted, but when he just thought of Grandma Hu's teachings that "it's impossible for pie to fall in the sky"...

"That's right!" The abductor man slapped the heavy ancient book unceremoniously, directly into his... forehead!

The little kid was frightened.

Such a thick book is missing? Into my head?

Killed!

"Study hard, practice hard, and come to me when you become famous. If you don't become famous, you can never say that you are my disciple!"

…

"Return" means returning to chaos.

The chaotic memory only has intermittent fragments.

Xiao Kongtong was still struggling in confusion, and the kidnapping man's voice vaguely appeared in his ears again, which seemed to be the follow-up.

"It's not difficult to practice swordsmanship. It only takes a few breaths. I don't have much time to teach you. I have to fight tomorrow. I'll give you a simple demonstration!"

"Watch it, I will only demonstrate it once. How much you can remember depends on you."

brush!

"This is called 'the gods and Buddhas under my eyes'... this is called 'prajna non-being'..."

brush!

"This is called 'time and space jump'...this is called 'second world'..."

brush!

"This is called 'Soul Controlling Ghost Technique'... This is called 'Lord of Fengdu'..."

Endless ghosts fill the streets.

But the people on the street remained indifferent, as if they could not see it at all.

"Yi! Ghost..." The child was frightened and the candy man fell to the ground.

"Xiao Ba, stop messing around. How can you force the growth of seedlings like this? Aren't you afraid of teaching the child bad things?" There was an ethereal and graceful voice next to him. Even if it was a scolding tone, it made people feel more at ease.

"Hehe, isn't there no time? I have to fight Hua Changdeng tomorrow. I have to teach him everything today." The kidnapper didn't care at all, and lowered his head and asked, "Little brat, do you remember everything?"

"Yes, I remember! Nine major swordsmanship, eighteen swords... um? What is it?"

...

The broken memory was still flowing, and Xiao Kongtong felt that he was about to collapse.

At this time, the kidnapper's voice appeared again.

"When you enter the sword path, the early stage of cultivation can be achieved through 'practice'. Your physique is destined to make you grow to a high level very quickly. In their words, it is called 'Grandmaster' or 'Throne'."

"At this time, it involves the truly important 'enlightenment' I want to talk to you about."

"How should I put it..."

The kidnapper seemed unable to describe it at this point, so he could only try to explain it.

"Enlightenment is very mysterious. When you open the book yourself, a little man will jump out and explain everything to you."

"In general, this Tao is mysterious and ordinary. Before you surpass me, you can understand it this way..."

"What sword cultivators practice and spirit refiners practice is nothing more than getting closer to the 'Tao' as much as possible, and then being sealed as a 'saint', but they cannot become the 'Tao' itself, nor can they be sucked into the 'saint' and be drawn into the vortex of death. It can only be said that... it is infinitely close to perfection, but it is never perfect, which is also a kind of perfection!"

"Ahem, it's hard to understand, right?"

"However, this is difficult for others, but it is very simple for you!"

The kidnapper said steadily, and suddenly smiled brightly.

"You have a very good teacher. Before you surpass me, you can think this way while opening the book I gave you..."

"The Tao is me! The saint is..."

...

Cut!

The mind seemed to be splitting.

Xiao Kongtong almost lost himself in the chaos.

But he still insisted that the words the teacher said at that time should be the key to help him break through the confusion here.

But, I can't remember it...

"The Tao is me, and the Saint is... what? Saint, what exactly is it?"

"Ah——"

Xiao Kongtong had a splitting headache, and blood was flowing from his seven orifices. He suddenly looked up to the sky and roared. All the memories in his mind were cleared, and the black and red semi-saintly Xuanzhi spread out, filling everything.

"The Tao is me, and the Saint is... 'Return'?"

Xiao Kongtong seemed to understand everything, and inserted his hands into his chest, about to cut himself open.

But at this time, the kidnapper appeared again.

He only had an illusory back, and it seemed that he was holding his childhood face in front of him. Although his back was facing the vast semi-saintly Xuanzhi, he was still explaining gently:

"The Tao is me, and the Saint is..."

Suddenly, as if sensing the existence of the semi-saintly Xuanzhi behind him, almost destroying the consciousness of the child in front of him, the kidnapper suddenly looked back and his eyebrows were raised.

"Get out!

!"

With a loud bang, the semi-saintly will in his head shattered.

Xiao Kongtong's eyes regained clarity, and Tong Kong regained focus, but suddenly shrank.

"Semi-saintly will!"

"This is the semi-saintly will!"

"The word 'return' has the power to decompose everything and return to chaos. Don't resist it!"

He tightly grasped the sword that Mr. Jiren was slashing at him, and suddenly spoke human words, which scared Mei Jiren and Ye Xiaotian.

"You, can break free from the influence of the semi-saintly will?" Mei Jiren was stunned. This guy is not the Eight Lords, how did he do it?

Xiao Kongtong found that the two people in front of him broke free earlier than him, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

But before he could let go of his mood completely, he seemed to remember something and looked back suddenly.

In the distance, under the influence of the semi-saintly will, everything really "returned to its original nature" in a terrifying way!

The huge stone giants that had been chasing him and Ye Xiaotian and could be resurrected if killed, softened one by one, turned into primitive mountains, and melted into the forest of miracles.

The two void servants nestling in the middle of the stone giants were a bit smart. They had obviously lived for a long time and had a way to deal with it.

One of them squatted down with his head in his hands, roaring constantly to fight the pain in his mind; the other one followed suit without even reading the semi-saintly profound decree, and followed the "roar roar" barking.

"Xu Xiaoshou... can't look!" Xiao Kongtong wanted to get up suddenly, only to find that he was exhausted, so he could only remind him.

But just after he finished shouting, he saw that the void, which was originally empty, had the outline of a human figure under the influence of the semi-saintly profound decree.

Then the contact disappeared, and Xu Xiaoshou's body covered his head and "returned to the true self" in pain.

"Mr. Jiren!" Xiao Kongtong's heart was gripped, and he shouted immediately.

Mei Jiren also realized who Jiang Buyi wanted to target this time, and immediately drew out the stone sword and stepped into the air.

However, at this time, in front of Xu Xiaoshou, who was in great pain and revealed his true form in mid-air, the cloud and mist took shape, and a vague figure appeared.

"Hahahaha..."

"So, even you eight masters are fake, and you dare to threaten this saint?"

The incarnation of Jiang Buyi's thoughts that were stored in the semi-saint's profound will appeared. Before Mei Jiren could make a move, he grinned and his right arm, which had gathered endless holy power, pierced through Xu Xiaoshou's heart in an instant!

"This saint said, you only have two choices."

"Either follow this saint and live a decent life, or... die miserably!"

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Mei Jiren left with a sword, but his figure was half a breath late. The image of Jiang Buyi looking back with a grin, a crazy face, and piercing people with one hand was deeply engraved in the eyes of Ye Xiaotian and Xiao Kongtong.

The power of the semi-saint melted all traces of the person on Jiang Buyi's hand, just like the Zhusheng Yunguang wiped out Teng Shanhai some time ago.

Xu Xiaoshou, dead?

Ye Xiaotian's lips moved, and his whole body spasmed.

When he thought of Elder Sang and the last line of the last letter that old man left behind, "I'll leave my silly disciple in your care."

"No!

!"

Ye Xiaotian's eyes were red with anger, and he lost his mind on the spot. He stepped out of the space mystery formation diagram and rushed towards Jiang Buyi like crazy.
