Chapter 694: The Fantasy of Patching the Sky
After communicating with Zhou Shanzhu for a long time, Wu Yan finally had a clear and profound understanding of what happened in the human world. At this moment, his heart became clearer and his goal of cultivation became clearer.
It was after in-depth communication with Zhou Shanzhu that Wu Yan truly understood the true meaning of immortality.
In fact, even if one practices according to any of the current techniques in the Three Realms until one reaches the highest level, it is not true immortality, but only immortality in the ordinary sense, which is restricted by the laws of the Three Realms.
Once encountering a catastrophe that can destroy the Three Realms, any powerful immortal existence in the Three Realms will also face the end of destruction. Only by truly transcending the Three Realms can one not fear any catastrophe and live forever.
According to some powerful immortal cultivators who truly understand the secrets of the Three Realms, when the Three Realms were first born, there was actually no difference between the realms, and they all belonged to the chaotic and primordial immortal heaven and earth.
All creatures born in the Three Realms do not have any distinction of high or low levels, only some differences in the names of their races.
The creatures born in the Heaven Realm call themselves the God Clan and the Immortal Clan.
The creatures born in the Earth Realm call themselves the Spirit Clan, and because of the distinction between demons and monsters, they are called the True Spirit Clan and the Demon Spirit Clan respectively.
The creatures born in the Human Realm are naturally called the Human Clan.
Unfortunately, when the catastrophe came, the rulers of the Heaven Realm and the Earth Realm, which was later renamed the Immortal Realm, both knew the news in advance and escaped the catastrophe with their respective realms and caves, and were preserved intact.
Only the Human Realm, because of the war for the position of the ruler, was informed at the time, but failed to respond in time, resulting in an unprecedented catastrophe and the brink of destruction.
After this catastrophe, the vitality of the heaven and earth in the human world was extremely damaged. In addition, the various races in the heavens and the immortal world also took advantage of the fact that the human race was in decline and desolate after the catastrophe, and went down to the world to loot, making the human world even more dilapidated.
Later, the internal disputes of the human race never stopped, so that they were exhausted and gradually became what they are now.
And if the immortal cultivators want to exist beyond the three realms, there is only one way, that is, to refine any of the three realms into their own cave heaven, so that they can become the true master of the three realms.
The heavens and the immortal world obviously have their own masters, and it is impossible for them to be refined by others. Only the already broken human world still has a chance.
Take on the important task of repairing the broken human world, and once it succeeds, it will naturally be the master of the human world. In this way, you can become the real immortal master of the great way who is immortal, immortal, and free and easy.
Although Zhou Shanzhu did not tell Wu Yanming the reason, he had already given Wu Yan the most direct hint. Even as the guardian of the Yuanling of Zhoushan Cave Heaven, Zhou Shanzhu actually knew only a limited amount about this kind of thing.
If it really knew everything, it would not be like this now.
In fact, Zhoushan Divine Pillar was originally the core Yuanmai pillar of the human world. When the ancient world was first created, it supported the special passage between heaven and earth, connecting the human world and the heaven and earth. The existence of Zhoushan Cave Heaven is the central hub that supports the Yuanqi of the entire human world.
It is precisely because of the disappearance of this cave heaven that the Yuanqi of the human world is extremely scattered, and the various tribes of the human race are gradually declining.
In these three realms, only one treasure can be refined to make the treasure of Zhenyuan to repair the sky, and that is the Great Desolate Yuan Ding that Zhou Shanzhu once told Wu Yan.
The origin of this tripod is so mysterious that I am afraid that only the venerable existence of the Three Realms Master may know a thing or two.
If we can find the Great Wilderness Yuan Ding and successfully refine the ten great treasures of heaven-repairing and primordial treasures, we can completely restore the human world cave heaven.
Unfortunately, after the ancient catastrophe, Zhoushan Cave Heaven disappeared, and the Great Wilderness Yuan Ding disappeared. Countless great ancestors of the human race have led the human world to take on this great task of repairing the sky, but because they did not know the right method, no one has ever succeeded.
The three emperors of the ancient wilderness period, Nuwa, Fuxi, and Shennong, had done it, and the five emperors of the ancient wilderness period, Huangdi, Zhuanxu, Diku, Tang Yao, and Yu Shun, had also done it. Even King Yu, who later opened up the Great Xia Dynasty, King Tang, who opened up the Shang Dynasty, and the Wenwu Shengwang, who opened up the Great Zhou Dynasty, all wanted to do this great merit, but they were all powerless and difficult to complete.
Some of these great ancestors of the human race fell in the process, and some broke through the realm and disappeared. The great cause of repairing the caves and heavens in the human world has been passed down from generation to generation, but it has long been forgotten by people today.
The two world-breaking wars caused the natural caves and heavens on the fairyland of the human world to be dug up and divided by the various tribes that broke through the world. The Yuanmai Yuanqi of the caves and heavens in the human world were extracted and taken away by the various tribes that broke through the world, and the remaining Yuanqi and five elements of spiritual energy in the human world were also sealed and dispersed by them. The human race gradually became a vassal and slave of the heaven and earth, and even the pursuit of immortality was controlled by the masters of the heaven and the fairy world.
Such a tragic experience, such a domineering bullying, the human race gradually forgot, and even yearned for being able to break through the world to go to the fairy world and the heaven, and shamelessly called it ascending to immortality!
The cultivators of the human race no longer thought about how to restore their own realm cave heaven, but only thought about how to get out of this broken cave heaven, go to the fairyland and the ancestor god Xuantian, and pursue the so-called immortality.
How sad it is to be willing to be enslaved by others?
If the sky can be repaired successfully and the cave heaven in the human world can be restored to the state before the ancient catastrophe, why should the human race go to the fairyland and the ancestor god Xuantian to pursue the so-called longevity road?
After a long time of communication with Zhou Shanzhu, Wu Yan was undoubtedly in a very heavy mood. However, how difficult and long-term is it to refine the treasure of Zhenyuan to repair the sky? If you can't even get out of the current difficulties, how can you talk about repairing the sky?
He closed himself in his cave for more than ten days to adjust his mentality and emotions.
For the time being, there are no other unsolvable worries, and the road ahead is clearer and more difficult than ever. Whether it is for his own longevity, for the future of the human race, or for all his relatives and friends in the human world, he must be more cautious and hard. Wu Yan's heart of Taoism has become more and more firm during these ten days of seclusion.
After resting for half a month on Xuanyuan Island, Wu Yan came out of seclusion and left Xuanyuan Island directly with the little monster fish Kun and the six-winged swallowing mantis that had completely recovered.
His goal for this trip was to collect the last fragment of Daozhen Cave Heaven. However, this matter could not be noticed by others, so he had to stay away from Xuanyuan Island, change his identity, and then go to the crack space where the fragment was.
In the crack of space, the third fragment of Daozhen Cave Heaven was sealed. Wu Yan must take this third fragment away before going to the Abyss Sea.
However, the more troublesome thing now is that the leaders of Xumi Sect, Blood Demon Sect and Jiugui Sect, as well as Ni Daoming, the successor of the former Tiandao Sect, and several more famous Yuanying monks of Tiandao Sect are now in the fragment of the cave.
It is even said that some Yuanying great monks who covet the treasure of the Tiandao Sect's inheritance of the cave heaven have also appeared in it.
If you want to collect this fragment and hide it from these people, it is undoubtedly quite difficult for Wu Yan.
What's more troublesome is that it's unknown whether the cave treasure in Ni Daoming's hand has been successfully refined by him. The leaders of the other three major sects should have refined the cave treasure inherited by their sects. Although they may not be completely refined successfully, they can still use some cave magic.
Now, Wu Yan is very clear that every step he takes must be carefully considered, otherwise, if he takes a wrong step, he may face an irreversible danger.
...
Two days later, a tall and thin young man wearing a green robe and with a sick face suddenly appeared outside the space crack floating above Xuanyuan Island.
The cultivation level of this sick young man is only the late stage of Jindan. Among the adventurous monks who enter the space crack, this cultivation level is neither high nor low, and it is not conspicuous. There are at least a few monks with his cultivation level entering and leaving the space crack every day.
After appearing here, this sick young man did not rush into the space crack directly, but carefully checked around.
At this time, the space crack was still slowly moving and wandering in the void thousands of feet away from the sea surface. The crack that could enter the sealed space was only a dozen feet long and several feet wide.
Standing in the air outside and looking inward, I felt that there was a strong green light scattering out from it, and this green light had an extremely special magical effect of blocking the exploration of spiritual consciousness, making it impossible for people to see the specific situation inside.
Around this crack, the void was drifting with the movement of this crack, constantly collapsing and collapsing, and then recondensing as before under the special power of space, which was very strange and bizarre.
Around the crack, there was a dark void collapse zone several feet wide. These collapse zones belonged to the collapsed crack zone. It was dark and deep inside, without any light. It was said to be the space passage leading to the mysterious virtual world.
To enter the space crack, no matter which direction you fly in, you must pass through the collapsed crack zone connecting the virtual world space. This is the first dangerous pass to enter the space crack.
Don't look at the collapsed crack zone. It seems that it is not big, only a few feet wide. However, in the crack zone, there is an extremely bizarre and strange virtual world wind blowing through it, and there is also a collapse and collapse virtual world swallowing suction. If one is not careful, the area crossed is just chosen in the area where these two different strange virtual world powers are alternately transformed. First, it is blown by the virtual world wind, and then swept by the collapse and collapse swallowing suction. Even the cultivators in the early stage of the Nascent Soul will find it difficult to resist.
Even those with a lower cultivation level will be slightly blown by the virtual world wind blowing out of the crack zone. At the least, the physical body will be destroyed, and at the worst, the soul will be directly blown and destroyed into nothingness.
Otherwise, how can that strange space be called a virtual world?
At this time, there were twos and threes of Jindan stage cultivators, with various colors of protective spiritual light flashing on their bodies. They covered themselves tightly with shields on all sides, and then sacrificed various kinds of protective magic weapons, and prepared another layer of protection. Then they carefully passed through the collapsed virtual world crack belt, entering and exiting the space crack.
After checking outside for a while, the sick young man showed a solemn expression, a green protective spiritual light flashed on his body, and he took out a red bead magic weapon and walked carefully towards the virtual world crack belt.
