Chapter 717 Return to the Eternal Valley (3rd Update)
It was easy to be discovered when flying high, so Meng Qi and the other two fled into the mountains. Half a cup of tea later, they were far away from Changshe Mountain.
Only then did Meng Qi breathe a sigh of relief. If he hadn't fought quickly and scared off the Blood Infant Venerable and the Skeleton Demon Lord, if he hadn't been two or three breaths later, the Beast God would have arrived and joined the battle. If he hadn't made a huge investment, he would have had a hard time escaping, let alone leaving with Xiaoru and Song Bingde.
With restraint and assistance, the weakness of the Dragon Bear Wild Beast's low intelligence will be covered up, and its strong physique and terrifying strength will be brought into full play. Every attack can cause danger to itself. However, the Blood Infant Venerable and the Skeleton Demon Lord are different from the Beast God. One of them comes from the Nine Paths of Evil Demons, with strange skills and terrible treasures, and the other is born special and will die if hit. It is impossible for me to continuously take their attacks like the Beast God with ordinary skills, and I can only do it occasionally. In this way, there are the Dragon Bear Wild Beast in front, and the Skeleton Demon Lord and the Blood Infant Venerable on the side, which is no less than a real fight against a half-master.
Moreover, the parting mother-in-law can take this opportunity to capture Song Bingde and Xiaoru to disrupt her fighting spirit.
Fortunately, I am experienced, well-planned, and the fighting intention is perfectly reflected, avoiding such a dilemma!
Xiaoru glanced at Meng Qi. Even though she was in the Southern Wilderness, she had heard of the first person in 100,000 years who had four disasters. She just didn't expect him to be so graceful and imposing, really dominating the Southern Wilderness, swallowing up like a tiger!
The speed of flight slowed down. Xiaoru glanced at Song Bingde and said to Meng Qi in a much more mature tone than before: "In fact, the immortals can't really live forever."
She seemed to be going to fulfill her promise.
"Hmm?" Meng Qi's face remained unchanged.
If the immortals can live forever so easily, why are those ancient powers still tossing?
Song Bingde was surprised: "Are they all bluffing?"
Xiaoru glanced at Song Bingde again: "Not really bluffing, at least they can live much longer than normal scenes."
She considered her words and continued: "Every time you reincarnate, your identification with your previous self will decrease by one point. After a certain number of times, when you look at the first person again, it's like a stranger. Apart from having his memories, there is no feeling of 'I am me' or 'he is me'. It's more like inheriting a 'heritage', including memories. This situation repeats itself over and over again."
"The past is not 'me', reincarnation is like death..." "Everything is born from heaven, and its soul has three, and reincarnation replaces one..." The words heard in the Past Hall of the Immortal Realm flowed in Meng Qi's heart, and he did not doubt Xiaoru's statement at all.
This should be the process of souls gradually becoming brand new after replacement. The secret method of the Immortal Clan only delays this trend, not completely resolves it.
They know that this can delay it, but they don't know why it can delay it, so they have been staying at this point!
Perhaps this secret method is not important, what is important is what it means that it can work!
Meng Qi's thoughts are mixed, and his appearance is normal. He asked casually: "How many times will it be separated from the original?"
"Tens of thousands of years ago, when our ancestors of the Immortal Clan discovered the specialness of Changshe Mountain, settled there and created secret methods after many generations, they would reincarnate about fifteen or sixteen times before "dying". In the last thousand years, after four or five times, they no longer recognized the previous "I". "When talking about this, Xiaoru sighed with a little sadness, "and the more reincarnations, the lower the upper limit of strength. The previous "I" was at the master level, which was considered upper in the clan. Now I am indeed very fast in the initial improvement, but at most I can reach the sixth heaven, and I can't step over the second level of the ladder."
"Has the Immortal Clan not produced a Dharma body in tens of thousands of years?" Meng Qi frowned slightly.
Such immortality seems to have come at a great price, but where did it come from?
The reduction in the number of reincarnations should be related to the reduction in the life span between heaven and earth, and has a certain relationship with the changes in the Peach Garden!
Xiaoru seemed melancholy and self-deprecating: "No, if you choose 'reincarnation and immortality', you will cut off the road to becoming an immortal through martial arts. Alas, based on this, we have been living in seclusion in a low profile, and have collected many treasures and skills, set up a large formation, and studied various secret methods. In the end, we still couldn't guard against thieves for a thousand days, and finally fell into the way of the Blood Sea Rakshasa. If you are not a Dharma body, you are an ant."
Her immature face had a slight sense of disobedience when she said such words, but her mature temperament resolved similar feelings.
Xiaoru lowered her eyes, as if she was sentimental. Suddenly, her voice came to Meng Qi's ears:
"This is not the biggest secret of the immortal family, but just to scare the master so that he won't suspect."
Secret method of voice transmission!
"What is the secret?" Meng Qi replied to her secretly.
Is there something wrong with Song Bingde?
Glancing over, he found that Song Bingde was listening to what he had just said with great interest.
Xiaoru's voice became low: "After discovering that reincarnation could not bring eternal life and the number of reincarnations gradually decreased, the tribesmen explored the Eternal Life Valley for thousands of years and finally found a magical place with the help of secret methods, which seemed to be between heaven and earth but not between heaven and earth."
"The destruction of the Eternal Life Valley and the Long Snake Mountain will not have any impact on it. The specialness of the Eternal Life Valley is just the change caused by its slightly dissipated breath!"
"How magical?" Meng Qi was shocked. Sure enough, there was a reason for the specialness of the Eternal Life Valley!
Everything in the world has a cause and effect!
Xiaoru's tone was confused: "I can't describe it in words. You will know when you see it. By the way, this matter must be kept secret from my master."
"Why?" Hearing her emphasize this point again, Meng Qi couldn't help but ask back.
Xiao Ru pondered for a moment and said, "My master is a bit mysterious. He looks mean and treacherous. His strength has always been stuck in the third heaven. But since I can remember, I have never seen him really injured. Moreover, although I did propose to come to the Eternal Valley because of my memory flash, he did not object. I don't know whether it is because he loves me and believes in me, or he has been looking forward to it for a long time."
Meng Qi's eyes did not change. Song Bingde's appearance was reflected in his mind. He was of medium build, ordinary facial features, and a mean smile. When he saw himself resurrecting, he even called out "Dad" and "Grandpa". Such a person is mysterious?
"Brother Su, are you going to continue to travel in the Southern Wilderness, or return to Dajin?" Song Bingde asked with a smile.
Meng Qi said without hesitation: "I have some grudges with the Blood Sea Rakshasa. Now that my identity is exposed, I have to leave the Southern Wilderness as soon as possible."
"Have some grudges with the Blood Sea Rakshasa?" Song Bingde's eyes widened.
As expected of the Mad Blade Su Meng, he even dares to provoke the Dharma Body!
Xiao Ru also took a breath of cold air.
Confusing the secrets of heaven, hiding his figure, Meng Qi led them to continue to flee.
At night, in a deep and secret cave, Meng Qi, Song Bingde and others were sitting cross-legged, adjusting their breathing and recuperating. After dawn, both sides went their separate ways.
Suddenly, a puff of green smoke rose from Xiaoru's hand, and instantly became invisible and colorless, and entered Song Bingde's nostrils as if it had a spiritual consciousness.
Song Bingde's breathing suddenly became heavy. He was still in meditation, but it seemed that it was not so easy to wake up.
Xiaoru smiled slightly and said to Meng Qi who opened his eyes: "People in our tribe can live for several lifetimes, and there are limits to the improvement of their strength. Naturally, they have studied many secret methods."
Meng Qi did not say much, stood up and said: "Let's go to the Eternal Life Valley now."
…………
The Wanchong Venerable, whose hair was like thin white snakes, looked at the Xueying Venerable and the Skeleton Demon Lord mercilessly, making them tremble slightly.
Just when they thought they were about to be struck by thunder and wrath, Venerable Wanchong said calmly:
"Go down, and receive ten blows from the Soul-Sucking Rod."
Venerable Xueying and the Skeleton Demon King secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly left Venerable Wanchong's sight, not understanding why the elder was so tolerant!
…………
The moon was like a silver plate, hanging high in the sky, and sprinkled on the ruins of the Eternal Life Valley where the rock walls collapsed and were in a mess. The blood color that permeated everywhere was still thick, and it became more bizarre and bloody under the reflection of the silver-like light.
Meng Qi and Xiaoru appeared in the jagged and messy broken rocks. According to Xiaoru's instructions, combined with the changes in the qi, they found the place where Meng Qi had buried himself.
Seeing the blood, Meng Qi thought of the Blood Sea Rakshasa and asked casually, "Does the Blood Sea Rakshasa know the magical place?"
"I don't think he knows." Xiaoru shook his head and said, "He came for the secret method of reincarnation. Even if we search for souls, we, the Immortal Clan, have secret methods to conceal something. As long as there is no traitor, he won't know."
The two of them sat down cross-legged, and Xiaoru taught another auxiliary method, transmitting the sound into the secret:
"Use the two secret methods, and see the picture as the ripples in the pond. Now look for the 'water surface'!"
The pictures were presented one after another, all of which were scenes of life on Earth, but no matter how Meng Qi sensed and searched, he could not find the so-called "water surface".
At this time, he thought of his own specialness, he was a fish, a ripple, not a fisherman, and he should look up to find the water surface!
The illusion sensed upwards, and when he almost touched the golden fragment again, Meng Qi finally noticed the quiet and empty "water surface"!
It seemed to merge with the void, which should be said to be the special part of the void.
Secretly pinching the secret method, Meng Qi imagined the action of pushing with both hands, the water surface rippled, and a bright spot appeared in front, getting bigger and bigger!
It was proved before that the Eternal Valley was indeed special, but why didn't the Blood Robe Cult regard it as a forbidden place? Meng Qi couldn't help but have this question in his heart.
The two "thrown" in and disappeared on the spot. Only the silver moonlight was shining, still shining, illuminating the strange blood color.
Suddenly, a figure appeared, with a medium build and ordinary facial features, just like Song Bingde!
His smile was no longer obscene, he raised his right hand, covered his lips, and coughed lightly:
"So that's it..."
As soon as the voice fell, the blood color stained on the entire Eternal Valley suddenly came alive, dripping out drop by drop, rushing towards Song Bingde like a stream of water, shining with silver gauze, no different from other places!
The blood flow merged into the body, Song Bingde's breath rose rapidly, his appearance was ordinary but palpitating, and his pupils were stained with a layer of blood!
