Tianwei Chapter 353 Dust (8)
The old Taoist thought that Wei Qingcang's decision was expected. With that man's temperament, he would definitely not choose to succumb to the so-called heavenly order. The Tongtian Corpse Formation is the most powerful corpse formation. In the ancient books of the Tianshi Vein, it is even recorded that this formation can directly reach the nine heavens and step into the fairyland.
Forty-nine emperor corpses were originally impossible to appear. In addition to the difficulty of finding the corpses, they also required a huge amount of emperor dragon energy. Grandpa Shi intercepted some from the Emperor of Heaven and transferred them to Wei Qingcang, thus solving this problem.
In addition, countless spiritual energy from heaven and earth is needed to ripen the emperor's corpse.
For a living corpse to take shape, it needs to absorb the energy contained in the entire extreme terrain. The same is true for the emperor corpse. Even if it is a blessed land with abundant spiritual energy, it can only give birth to a complete emperor corpse at most.
If it was a few months ago, Wei Qingcang's plan would never have succeeded. Because the sky is high and the land is vast, the spiritual energy is scattered all over Shenzhou, and it takes a lot of effort for them to gather it.
But now, the sky and the earth are about to overlap, the space is compressed, and the increase in energy concentration makes this step go from walking to running.
I originally planned to help trap the emperor's corpse after it was refined, so as to prevent subsequent plans. But now Wei Qingcang has changed his mind. He decided to do it himself, use the corpse formation to open a path, and invited us to participate.
I didn't answer immediately because it was not for me to decide.
The plan here is now more than halfway completed, and I would be unwilling to give up.
Most importantly, I don't trust Wei Qingcang. Although the Tongtian Corpse Formation is powerful, it may not be able to break the heavenly order and break out of the prison. Therefore, if I bet on him, I'm afraid the final result will not be good.
The old Taoist thought the same as I did. He felt that as long as all the energy in the world was absorbed, the heaven and earth could be prevented from merging.
How to absorb it is a difficult problem, but this is the only problem we have now.
Gamu came to see the old Taoist priest, and naturally he wanted to invite us. He had great confidence in the Tongtian Corpse Formation and believed that it would definitely succeed.
I won’t go, replied the Taoist priest.
Why? Gamu's face darkened and he said: "You are still like this. If the corpse formation can break through the fairyland, it will definitely break the world. Although your plan is feasible, it is too difficult and impossible to complete."
You guys are trying your best, if you win, you win, if you lose, you lose, there is no room for reversal. But I can't do that, I can't just stick to the path ahead, said the old Taoist priest.
Gamu and the old Taoist stood face to face, and neither of them continued speaking.
After a long time, Gamu sighed, stretched out his hand, patted the old Taoist on the shoulder, and said: You... forget it.
Then he turned around and said: Tianyou, do you think you can succeed?
What he saw was just a mass of air, because the ideological me has no fixed location. I can say I am somewhere, or I can say I am anywhere in the world. This is a very strange state.
I couldn't answer Gamu's question, just like when Wei Qingcang invited me, I couldn't make a decision.
We cannot see what the future will be like, and those who can see it are not here.
Gamu waited for a while, and when he didn't get an answer , he left with a sigh. When he left, he only left one sentence: If there is a chance, let's be real brothers in the next life.
These words are naturally reserved for the experienced ones.
Looking at Gamu's departing back, the old Taoist looked somewhat lonely. His lips trembled slightly, as if he was saying something, but his voice was either too soft or he didn't make any sound at all. In short, no one could hear what he said at that time.
In the fifteenth week, the sky was getting darker and darker.
Anyone who has practiced cultivation a little bit can feel the heavy pressure coming down from the sky. That feeling comes not only from the body, but also from the soul. It seems that what is compressed between heaven and earth is not only the space, but also everything in the space.
Several high mountains have collapsed, all of which are peaks that are nearly 10,000 meters high and almost reach the sky.
In this catastrophe, the first ones to fail were not living things, but the giant mountains that had stood between heaven and earth for countless years.
The majestic atmosphere of the past has now become the culprit that leads to their end.
There will be no more strong winds or big waves in the world. The pressure from the sky will make the wind and waves dissipate, and all the seas will be calm.
Occasionally, you can see a bright burst of fireworks in the sky.
Those were not fireworks, but aircraft launched by ordinary humans to find out the truth. Because the "sky" suddenly appeared, all previous satellites had lost contact with the earth. Now the panicked humans could only send aircraft that could reach high altitudes to find the answer.
However, the collision between steel and sky only produces sparks.
What is coming will eventually come, no matter how powerful you were in the past, or how miserable you were, when the world comes to an end, everyone's fate will be the same.
In the eighteenth week, a vague arc can be seen on the horizon.
That is the boundary between heaven and "sky". Seeing this means that "sky" is very close to us. It is so close that it can swallow countless energy with just one mouthful.
The energy concentration between heaven and earth reached an incredible level. The old Taoist once tried to cast a fire dragon talisman, which was so powerful that it was like throwing firecrackers into a gunpowder magazine. Half of the mountain was blown away by the fire dragon talisman.
This is a good thing for spiritual practice, but it is also followed by chaos due to panic and lack of solutions.
News of the destruction of the world came from nowhere, and a large number of practitioners walked out of the mountains and forests and entered the secular world.
Their power is like that of the immortals in mythology to ordinary people. Their purpose is very simple. Since the world is about to be destroyed, what rules should we follow?
Some things should belong to those of us who are powerful. Please return them to us at this final moment.
The conflict spread across the entire Chinese land in just three days. The sound of gunfire could be heard every day, and cultivators could be seen shuttling across the sky every day.
The Five Elements Taoist Temple is like a small boat in the turmoil that swept across China.
However, the captain of the boat was very calm and looked as steady as a rock.
There were enemies who intended to take revenge, but the old Taoist priest, who had greatly increased his strength, sent them away with a few Fire Dragon Talismans. After all, the Five Elements Meridians benefited the most from the increase in energy concentration, because the essence of energy is the Five Elements. Seeing that a Fire Dragon Talisman could blow up a mountain, the Five Elements Taoist Temple quickly became a forbidden area.
By the twentieth week, the world had become a complete mess.
Today, even mountains four or five thousand meters high cannot withstand the pressure of the sky. The constantly collapsing peaks are slowly swallowing up everyone’s hope.
Fanran's energy absorption did not make much progress. Although she could condense the Emperor Mountain at its peak state in just one or two days, the speed was still too slow, so slow that it had no effect at all.
Is there no other way? I felt a little depressed. It seemed that everything had come to an end.
There is another way, said the old Taoist priest.
He was standing on the platform at the top of the mountain, looking at the smoke and dust that was spreading in the distance: The Five Classics were inherited from the Five Emperors, and the essence was the Five Elements. If we could gather five complete inheritances, we could redefine the world.
This is impossible. There are only three of us left in the world. I said.
Yes... there are only three of us. The old Taoist priest said in a low and hoarse voice: Three people... if two of us are willing... maybe it can be done.
What do you mean? I asked, my experienced tone and expression making people feel uneasy.
The essence of the Five Classics is the Five Elements. He suddenly repeated a sentence he had said before: When we transform into the Five Classics and summon the fragments of all things, we are a small world. This world exists in the big world, but it is independent. It can be said that at that moment, it is transcendence. So, what if the small world expands infinitely and supports the entire big world?
You mean... as long as the small world doesn't collapse, the big world can only be outside and can't overlap? I said in astonishment: This is impossible. Let's not talk about how the small world can expand so much, just talking about this collapse... Even if we become five classics, we can't live forever, there will always be a day when we die.
If it were you, would you be willing to do this? The old Taoist raised his head and looked into the void: In order to delay this death, you have to give up your whole life.
I was silent for a while, thinking for a long time, and thinking a lot.
I understand what the old Taoist means. Even if we succeed, our delay is only temporary. When the small world is destroyed, the reunion of heaven and earth is still unstoppable. Is it worth it to choose to endure decades of loneliness alone for the death that is sure to come?
After all, in terms of results, what we did was meaningless.
But I think it's worth it.
For us now, every minute and every second is extremely important.
Even those who commit crimes out of fear, because they know the value of time, want to satisfy all their desires in the end. Compared with those who quietly wait for death, they understand how precious "the end" is.
It’s just that everyone has different ways of doing things and different ideas, so they are sinners.
I am willing... I said: But I don’t have a physical body now, and what’s more, how can the small world expand so much.
The essence of the Five Classics is the Five Elements... The old Taoist priest let out a long sigh and said: When the body is transformed into the Five Classics, the place where there are the Five Elements is the Five Classics. The whole world is filled with the Five Elements, so why can't the Five Classics be expanded to the entire world?
This is unlikely... I asked in surprise.
I don't know. The old Taoist shook his head and said: This is just my inference. According to my inference, if it is really feasible, we can no longer be called human beings at that time.
I was stunned and didn't quite understand what this sentence meant.
A person can be very focused when looking at one thing, but when there are 10,000 bees flying in front of him, he will feel dizzy. Because the huge amount of information is beyond his ability to bear. At that time, people's consciousness will be hazy, because they don't know which information to receive first. Therefore, when the small world expands infinitely, our consciousness may have spread with it and merged into the entire world. At that time , we will only have an infinitely expanding consciousness, without thinking.
Is it the living dead... I asked in a low voice.
Yes...alive and dead...the old Taoist shook his head.
At this time, a golden beam of light suddenly rose into the sky from the northwest direction.
This beam of light is very far away from us, but even so, an astonishing pressure still surges into our hearts.
That is...
They were about to start. The old Taoist priest also turned and looked over there.
who?
The old Taoist priest had his hands behind his back, his waist slightly hunched, full of old age.
