The Gui Ling Mirror is divided into nine heavens. However, Yi Qing is now almost unable to stabilize even the first level of the Gui Ling Mirror. His only true fire is about to be extinguished. Facing Wu, who is at least in the third heaven of Gui Ling and above. Renfu, he had no power to fight back.
Unexpectedly, Wu Renfu, whom he had not seen for more than ten years, had already improved his cultivation from the early stage of returning to the spirit to the middle stage of returning to the spirit.
In the eyes of ordinary people, more than ten years may be extremely long, and life is just a few more years. But in the eyes of practitioners, more than ten years may be just a long trip, a meditation, or a moment.
Yi Qing thought that relying on Yan Liangshan, the two of them could still fight Wu Renfu and force him to retreat, but now it seemed that his idea was really too naive.
Perhaps it was because he used too much of his true energy to prolong the life of his child, but such a gap was enough to cause him to lose his head and live in a different place.
Yi Qing knew that he might never see his child again.
"Brother Yi, although you and I can no longer be what we were before, I still don't want to kill you. I broke the green sword just now just to stop you from thinking about taking action. Maybe you are right, Taoism and Taoism do not work together. , but do you really think there is still such a thing as Tao in today’s world?”
Yi Qing did not speak, but chose to stand up with difficulty. He faced his former Taoist friend, now the powerful Shenhuatian Sect Master, with silence.
From the constant trembling of the green sword, he felt the overwhelming anger. This treasure that has developed intelligence is the same as any living being. It has love, hate, joy, and sadness. Even if it is not fully intelligent, it can Can learn what anger is.
If it weren't for the fact that its body was severely damaged and it was difficult to use its power, it might have already flown towards the enemy who broke it.
Looking steadily at the sword on which he became famous, one of Qingchen's double swords was destroyed. How could Yi Qing not feel angry?
However, he had already suppressed his anger into an invisible silence, and behind the silence was his choice, or in other words, a gamble. The trajectory of life can be turned into a line segment of choices again and again, or it can be said to be one hero after another.
If Wu Ren goes up the mountain, his son's whereabouts will be exposed and his life and death are unpredictable, so he wants to gamble for Qingyun's chance of survival!
Before waiting for Yi Qing's reply, Wu Renfu spoke to himself again:
"If I ask you why it is so difficult to ascend now, and have you also felt that the laws of heaven and earth are increasingly restricting all living beings who can cultivate in the human world? I believe that you who have just experienced the heavenly tribulation should have more knowledge than me. A profound experience.”
These words couldn't help but make Yi Qing's heart tremble. What Wu Renfu said was exactly the current situation, or it could be said that it was the "status quo" that had experienced tens of millions of years.
It is true that the civilization in the world of cultivation is extremely prosperous now, and its level of development can be said to be unparalleled in ancient and modern times.
Each sect, each sect, and even each race has a complete cultivation system, which is directly aimed at ascending to the upper world. However, today's monks may be able to have smooth sailing in the third level of body cultivation, but when they reach the third level of form, the level of cultivation becomes higher and higher. difficult.
Especially after reaching a higher realm, the difficulty of encountering heavenly tribulations also increases geometrically. For those seniors who have already returned to spiritual perfection, ascension is sometimes more terrifying than sitting down.
The two giants of the Three Heavens and Four Sects and the Demonic Dao, as well as some other small sects, probably have some monks who have returned to spiritual perfection. They have self-proclaimed cultivation and are closed to death. They have been waiting for a glimmer of life to successfully overcome the disaster. Mu Gong is The most obvious example.
Of course, he was lucky because he met Yi Qing, and Yi Qing, who had just experienced the old tree demon's ascension, could indeed understand the profound meaning of Wu Renfu's words just now.
But Wu Renfu's next words were like a heavy hammer that struck his heart:
"If I say that the world will be in chaos, all laws will cease to exist, the great road will collapse, and all living beings will be in ruins, what will you do?"
"What did you say!"
Regardless of the truth or falsehood of Wu Ren's reply, Yi Qing's scalp went numb just by hearing the words "Da Dao collapse".
If the Great Dao really collapses, it means the demise of the Heavenly Dao, and some of the existing laws that exist in the human world will also be disordered. The Heavenly Dao practiced by the monks will disappear, and the foundation of cultivation will be severed.
This may also explain why it is becoming more and more difficult for monks to advance in the later stages of their cultivation and there is no hope of ascension. Also, the communication between the human world and the upper world, that is, the world of immortals, monsters and demons, is almost cut off.
"Brother Yi, I just want to seek a chance of survival for the sect and all sentient beings in this small human world. What do you think is more important between my sacrifice now and my future gain? Do you still believe that it is possible to gain Qilin Ya even now?" But the rumor of ascending to the immortal world? You and I should both know that it is just a remnant from the previous life. I can only tell you that the Qilin Tooth has another great use for me. That’s it. I hope you can make a wise choice. .”
Wu Renfu, with his hair tied up and wearing a crown, is handsome, and the two long strands of hair at the temples make his handsome face look extremely sincere, but this is not what Yi Qing wants to see.
If what Wu Renfu said is true, then the entire human world will really be in chaos. But it is also possible that it is not the practice itself that causes problems first, but some conspiracy is beginning to brew.
If he hadn't met the white fox demon, he might have believed Wu Renfu's words, but Alian's appearance might mean something else.
The third level of form is not the end of cultivation. In ancient times, there were many sages who transcended themselves. Those people called themselves immortals, and the realms they established after transcending were the paradise that monks longed for.
Although these are just legends that have passed millions of years ago, if those immortals, demons and demons are still alive today, how can they sit idly by and watch this catastrophe happen to the world? Therefore, the meaning revealed in Wu Ren's reply is very intriguing.
What's more, he knows Wu Renfu's character best, and sober people are often the most crazy.
At this point, Yi Qing couldn't even hand over the Qilin Ya. Besides, he never promised to let himself go, let alone Qingyun who was holding the Qilin Ya.
So Yi Qing's eyes were slightly cold and he no longer hesitated. He sent a trace of spiritual thought into the Qingjian in an extremely subtle way, and then suddenly lifted up the little spiritual power left in his body.
He wants to bet.
Wu Ren was arrogant. If he fought to the death with him today, then maybe he would think that his determination to die was just to let Mu Lan escape.
And if he really died in the battle, then Wu Renfu would be sure that Mulan had escaped. This might leave a glimmer of hope for his children, making him think that the Qilin Tooth was in Mulan's hands, but he didn't know that Mulan had already passed away.
"It's useless to talk too much, Yi Qing is the master of teaching!"
Without any further hesitation, Yi Qing raised the broken sword, and with a majestic momentum that was both life and death, he swung his sword and charged towards Wu Renfu. Although his spiritual power is now less than 30%, he is willing to sacrifice for his beloved son!
It was a pity that he would never see Yun'er again before his death.
How great it would be if she could hear Yun'er calling her daddy again!
How great it would be if I could watch Yun'er fall asleep before leaving tonight!
How great it would be if I could find out earlier that Mulan was going to duel on my behalf!
But even after thousands of years of cultivating the Tao, he never realized that he liked the two ethereal words "if" so much at this moment!
Wu Renfu's gentle sigh came to Yi Qing's ears, but at this time his mind was surprisingly empty, just like when he first met his wife Yun Mulan, he didn't understand what love was. What the same.
Then his eyes slowly blurred, just like the first time he and his wife were walking in a forest in Qingxutian, sitting on the bluestone, talking about scriptures and Taoism.
Then his consciousness gradually blurred, as if he was hugging his beloved wife Mu Lan again.
"I'm sorry, Brother Yi!"
Wu Renfu also heard Yi Qing's ethereal voice, very soft and peaceful.
"It doesn't matter, don't pass."
Blood overflowed from Yi Qing's chest, staining his white clothes red, making the grass in the night extremely green.
The cold wind was blowing desolately, and Wu Renfu's heart seemed a little painful.
As the open fire gradually died down, the crying in Liangren Village gradually disappeared. Many people did not know whether they had fallen asleep or had really set foot on the road to death.
In the solemn night, the cold wind is howling, and Yanliang Mountain is dying.
At this time, he was speechless. By burning his true essence, he gained power beyond his own limits, and even entered a realm he had never reached before.
But once the true energy is burned out, what will be left for him will be an even crueler reality.
It wasn't until the moment he fell that he realized that he couldn't save anyone at all, because Wu Renfu and his disciples didn't need to do anything, and he was already exhausted. Xu Jingyang felt mixed emotions in his heart when he looked at Yi Qing lying in a pool of blood.
This was not the first master of the Soul Returning Realm to fall at the hands of the master. Ever since the master came out of seclusion that day, he seemed to have become a different person. Although he couldn't figure it out, how could he not be familiar with the master who had raised him since he was a child and treated him like his own son.
Xu Jingyang didn't ask or say much. Even though he had all kinds of questions, he just kept them in his heart at most. He would do whatever his master told him. This was his consistent principle of doing things and it had not wavered for hundreds of years.
Only this time there are some exceptions.
"Master, Yi Qing is dead, what about his body?"
Xu Jingyang asked respectfully.
Refining corpses is a taboo for practitioners, especially among righteous sects. This practice is regarded as the behavior of evil demons and heretics, and is despised by practitioners.
But according to what Wu Renfu said, troubled times are coming, and any resources are extremely precious, let alone a powerful person in the Guiling realm who is full of treasures. Just one body of essence and blood can refine many high-grade elixirs. It would be a pity to bury the medicine on the spot.
Besides, Yi Qing is a world-famous master of killing corpses. The corpse is not easy to decay under natural conditions. If someone discovers it, there may be trouble, which makes Xu Jingyang dare not make any arbitrary decisions.
I saw Wu Renfu looking in the direction of Yiren Mountain intentionally or unintentionally, and replied lightly:
"It doesn't matter, let him return to heaven and earth like this. After all, he was our best friend in the past. Maybe there are still people who can collect his body. Let's go."
