Chapter 664: Liu Chu's Journey to the Abyss of Sin
The next morning, on the Natural Disaster Island in the West Sea, Shi Yan, who had just survived the calamity yesterday, was sitting weakly in Lao Jiang's Obsidian Star Sphere, accompanied by the Mountain Guardian Granny, waiting to return to the East.
It is hard to describe the process of her tribulation yesterday. Although the great tribulation in her life has passed, there are no more loopholes in her mind, and she has also resolved her inner demons, so that there is no possibility for them to cause trouble when she is going through the tribulation.
However, he possessed strange magical powers, and his spiritual treasure was forged using the evil thoughts of the Red Moon, which aroused the dissatisfaction of the Heavenly Dao.
I guess he really suspected Shi-yeon was a "monster sympathizer".
Therefore, the thunder from the sky came down without mercy, and all the privileges of the Mohist school were useless. If Shi Yan was not very strong herself, she would have been seriously injured.
Even so, during the last few thunder tribulations, he still borrowed the powerful spiritual power of the Mountain Guardian Granny to protect his soul, and was able to barely hold on.
But serious injuries are certain.
After a night of joyful fun, Lao Jiang and Ruyue sneaked back to Calamity Island from the Red Moon Realm like thieves. As soon as they entered the magic ball, they smelled a faint smell of barbecue.
Following the smell, I saw Shi Yan, who looked sick.
Just like Sleeping Beauty, she leaned on the arms of Grandma Zhenshan and fell asleep soundly. Seeing Lao Jiang coming over, Grandma Zhenshan glared at him fiercely, made a gesture to silence him, and pointed at Shi Yan in her arms.
Signaled to Lao Jiang not to wake her up.
The poor elder was nearly killed by lightning yesterday. He will probably need to have a good rest when he returns home this time.
But the good news is that after surviving the thunder tribulation, Shi Yan entered the realm of seeking the truth, filling the gap in strength left after the sect leader was captured and taken to the Demon Suppression Tower.
With her current firm determination in the Dao, the embryo of the spiritual treasure in her hand, and great supernatural powers at her disposal, as long as she recovers, consolidates her foundation in the Dao, comprehends the cycle of heaven and earth, it will only be a matter of time before she can cultivate into the Sea of Bitterness.
Shi Yan never said what her Dao heart was.
But Lao Jiang knew what was going on.
Once you finally get back something you lost, you will naturally hold on to it tightly and not want to give it up. If someone comes to snatch it back, you will definitely fight with all your might.
The confidence to fight hard requires that you have enough strength first.
Shi Yan's heart of Taoism fell on her stinky brother, Lao Jiang.
As for what Shi Yan's power of the Great Dao is, according to Lao Jiang's guess, it is either following the innate magical power of the true fire of the sun or the way of controlling fire.
Either they follow the Great Dream Technique of cultivation and take the path of illusion. Or they follow the path of construction that Mohist disciples always choose and focus on making things like the master.
However, according to Lao Jiang's understanding of Shi Yan, she is more likely to choose to practice all three paths simultaneously, which is an extremely difficult practice for ordinary cultivators.
But geniuses are so confident.
When the Mo family came, there were many people, so they had to be divided into many wooden kites, but when they left, there were fewer people, and one Obsidian Star Sphere could hold them all. If comfort was not considered, they could be sent back by simply overloading the Zouwu cart.
However, there are more patients on the return journey than just Shi Yan, so naturally we have to do it as safely as possible.
Ruyue sat in the driver's seat with ease. Miss Bai Ze was radiant after last night's hard work. Now she drove the magic ball slowly into the air, passing through the sea of clouds like an experienced driver, heading towards the East.
Elder Sanbao was sitting in the center, also resting with his eyes closed.
Gu Miao and Qian Duo beside him were whispering. These two were now people of "status" and, just like the second generation of immortals, they were discussing some irrelevant things.
Lao Jiang sat behind the magic ball with Liu Chu who had just woken up.
"How do you feel, uncle?"
He looked at Liu Chu beside him. The latter was extremely weak and it was difficult for him to maintain his Qi training stage. He was like a mortal who was seriously ill.
Look paler.
But the soul existed in the cloned body, so there was no incoordination that would normally occur after taking over another body. At this moment, it was holding a bowl and slowly putting rice and vegetables into its mouth.
This posture is actually very strange, at least Liu Chu feels very strange.
He hadn't eaten in the true sense for a hundred or two hundred years, and even the feeling of "hunger" that emerged from his body organs seemed so strange.
You have to eat.
Otherwise this fragile body will not be able to hold on.
It craves the warmth and nourishment of food from the soul it carries, and also needs to absorb nutrients from the food.
In a few hours, Uncle Liu Chu will have to "relive" the feeling of the cycle of life and death again. Fortunately, there is a well-prepared bathroom in the Obsidian Star magic sphere, so Uncle Liu Chu will not be embarrassed.
Old Jiang asked a question, but Liu Chu did not answer. He just glanced at Jiang Xia.
He is essentially a rigid person who believes in rules and regulations for everything. Not talking while eating or sleeping is the most basic rule. It's something that every mortal knows, so how could you, a cultivator like Lao Jiang, not know it?
No matter how big the matter is, let’s talk about it after I finish my meal.
He waited like this for twenty minutes, watching his uncle tremblingly putting rice into his mouth. Lao Jiang was so anxious that he wanted to grab the bowl and stuff all the food into Liu Chu's mouth.
I'm even eager to try it.
Anyway, Liu Chu can't beat him now...
But in the end, this arrogant idea was not carried out. Old Jiang has class. It would be too embarrassing if it got out that he bullied a patient. He still has to save his face.
After Liu Chu finished eating, he drank a bowl of hot chicken soup to nourish his body. Then he breathed a sigh of relief, wiped his mouth with the handkerchief handed to him by Shi Liu, and said to Boss Jiang:
"This cloning method is very effective. After my soul entered my body, I felt no discomfort at all, just like returning to my original body. But it is difficult to recover my cultivation after all. I will have to spend some time to start my cultivation again.
Fortunately, my magical power is still there, so I am not completely powerless."
"That's good."
Old Jiang nodded, glanced at Liu Chu, and asked again:
"Master, you have been to the Sin Abyss before. Can you describe to me what the scene is like in the Sin Abyss?"
This question immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the sphere. Even Ru Yue, who was driving the sphere, and the mountain-guarding mother-in-law who was holding her best friend, pricked up their ears.
Not to mention Gu Miao and Qian Duo, they turned around and sat back in their seats, looking curious.
yes.
What does the Sin Abyss look like?
This is a problem that has stumped countless great monks in the Ku Mu Realm. After all, no one can jump into the Sin Abyss to take a tour and then come back safe and sound to write a travelogue or something.
From this point of view, Liu Chu's trip can be considered to have achieved quite a bit of success.
He was the first monk in the past five hundred years who had entered the Sin Abyss and returned to the world without being tainted by demonic energy. Being stared at by a boatload of people, Liu Chu sighed helplessly , twisting his beard and saying:
"I knew you would ask this. Well, I'll tell you about it."
He narrowed his eyes, recalling the experience of being swept by the evil spirit and falling into the abyss of sin. As the others listened quietly, he spoke softly:
“When it first fell, it was engulfed by the evil spirit and I couldn’t see it clearly.
But one can vaguely see that the place where one falls from the cliff of the Sin Abyss is not a demonic realm that swallows up everything.
You should know that the so-called Sin Abyss is actually the Western Land of the past, which is larger than the Eastern Land. Although it was transformed by the great sages such as Ju Zi into a cage to trap the evil thoughts of the Lord of the Wasteland, it did not really break up the land of the Western Land.
I caught a glimpse while falling, and could still see the continent suspended above the endless black water, like a huge island.
The most incredible thing is that there are still living beings in the Abyss of Sin!"
"Um?"
When these words were spoken, everyone around him showed a look of shock.
Gu Miao was the first to ask:
"The living beings that Uncle Master is referring to are the sage monks who entered the Sin Abyss back then, or are they mortals?"
"mortal."
Liu Chu nodded and said:
“It’s incredible, isn’t it?
But based on the short time that I stayed in the Sin Abyss, and the scenes that I saw when my Mohist predecessors took me across the land of Sin Abyss, I found that there were not only mortals living in the Sin Abyss, but there were even several countries.
I saw that those people had been infected by the evil spirit, and I thought they would become mindless monsters like those in the Red Jade Realm. However, I heard from a senior master that although those people were possessed by the devil, they were able to retain their sanity after coexisting with the evil spirit for many years.
But their forms are no longer as pure as those of ordinary people in the Ku Mu realm. Just like the uncles you have seen, they are all alienated by the devil and become as strange as the monsters in the legend.
However, they still maintain the rules and regulations of the mortal kingdom. Although they fight each other constantly, if they really encounter an attack from the demons, they will still unite their forces to help the sages resist. "
"this……"
Sanbao listened attentively and asked again:
"The sages were able to resist the devil because they practiced cultivation, or perhaps they were helped by some magical methods. But how do these mortals coexist with the devil? Are they also practicing cultivation?"
"no."
This time it was not Liu Chu who answered, but Lao Jiang.
Jiang Xia stroked his chin, thinking about what he had seen and heard before, and said in a suspicious tone:
"I think it's probably due to the unique speed of time in the Sin Abyss. My great-uncle mentioned a few words before, saying that after Taoist Fushi merged with the Tao, he also used his magical powers in the Sin Abyss.
The power of the Dao of Taoist Master Fu Shi is time. He can pull the broken Ku Mu Realm back to its state before destruction, and naturally he can also change the speed of time flow in the Abyss of Sin.
This may also be part of the Lord of the Wasteland's suppression.
In our opinion, the creatures and evil spirits in the Western Land have coexisted with each other for five hundred years, but perhaps in their cognition, they have existed there for thousands and tens of thousands of years.
It is not impossible that such a long period of time has allowed the creatures in the Western Land to accumulate resistance to demonic energy.
Um……
In this way, the Sin Abyss and the Bitter Wood Realm can actually be seen as a twin world. Although they share the same world heart, they are very different from each other. "
Lao Jiang narrowed his eyes, and a bold idea appeared in his mind, but it was incomplete, so he didn't say it out loud for the time being.
After he was silent, Liu Chu said:
“In the Western Land of Sin, there are not only our human kingdom, but also monsters. Moreover, the number of monsters is several times that of humans. This is the opposite of the situation in my Ku Mu Realm where there are more people than monsters.
Those monsters occupied the mountains closest to the Sin Abyss, where they formed tribes and made a living by killing monsters. They were extremely ferocious. I heard from the senior masters that the monsters of the Sin Abyss would never give up an inch of land, and their fighting will was more tenacious and violent than that of the humans of the Sin Abyss.
Unfortunately, I was there for a short time before Master Uncle sent me out of the Sin Abyss, and I didn’t get to see more.”
Liu Chu said regretfully:
“It’s just that this Sin Abyss is divided into three rings. The inner ring is where the Lord of the Wasteland’s evil thoughts are sealed, with the veins of the Western Continent as a prison. The places where the sages suppressed the evil thoughts five hundred years ago are all within this inner ring.
The second ring is the demon mountains, which surround the wasteland lord’s seal to prevent the monsters from breaking out.
The third ring is the kingdom of the human race in the Sin Abyss, and it is also the last line of defense against monsters. Once it is broken through, the demonic energy will surge up to the Sin Abyss and into the Bitter Wood Realm.
That place is definitely not prosperous, it is a real den of evil.
It’s okay to call it the Demon Realm…”
"Uncle Master, I'm thinking about something else."
Old Jiang looked up and said to Liu Chu:
“There are often rumors among the monsters in the North that this monster race has two origins. In addition to the monster race that was born and bred in the North, there are also many monsters that migrated there.
The Immortal Alliance has kept the events of five hundred years a secret from us, so Uncle Master, do you think it is possible that the Western Land is the second origin of the monsters?
You also said that there are several times more monsters in the Sin Abyss than humans. With their reproduction speed, which only comes into heat in specific seasons, how can they compare with the rapid growth of humans?
Unless the Western Land was the territory of monsters before it sank, this could explain the strange phenomenon of the Sin Abyss.
Speaking of this... I suddenly remembered something!"
Boss Jiang rubbed his forehead, looked at the people in front of him, and said:
"Before Lord Lin came to suppress the Sin Abyss, the one guarding here was Demon Saint Xiao Feng, but later Xiao Feng became possessed by a demon and was imprisoned in the Demon Suppression Tower. Sect Leader Mo Jun and Lord Lin both hinted that there was something strange about the Great Saint Xiao Feng becoming possessed by a demon.
After Xiaofeng became a demon, the Northern Demon Saint Qingsi personally presided over the massacre of Xiaofeng's descendants. However, some people say that Qingsi respected Xiaofeng the most in his life.
Why do you have to do such a cruel thing?
Could it be that this matter is related to the demon race in the Sin Abyss?"
