Qingshi and Yan Ruyun didn't speak, quietly waiting for Yan Dunhuang to slowly calm down his emotions.
Qingshi corroborated what Yan Dunhuang said about the sacred forest with what Father Bai told him back then, and found that what the two said were similar.
Father Bai spoke in great detail, and more importantly, he talked about the changes and catastrophes that had occurred on the continent after humans attacked the godswood forest on a large scale. But obviously there are elements of processing and interpretation by later generations.
Yan Dunhuang talked about the causes of the catastrophe. And Father Bai obviously didn't know the real reason.
After a long time, Yan Dunhuang spoke again: "Duan Hongling and Xiang Qubing both died in the Shenmu Forest. Jiang Tianlong went to the Demon Sea and has not been heard from since. Is there anything else you want to know, little friend Qingshi?"
"Senior Yan," Qingshi said, "Excuse me, what is the situation in this sacred forest? How did those monsters learn about your plan? What kind of evil magic did they use? Why can the sacred forest absorb the mainland? Why can the spiritual energy above give birth to so many great demons in disguise?"
"We originally attached great importance to keeping secrets, but with the attack on Kunhuang Dragon Palace and Savage Island, it was normal for things to leak out." Yan Dunhuang said, "As for the changes in the sacred wood forest, we didn't understand why at first. Later, it was Yue Jian Yiyu revealed the mystery. In fact, it is very simple. It is not that those monsters and spiritual beasts have any magical skills that defy the heavens, but that the sacred tree itself already has spiritual wisdom, and it has turned into a monster! And once it turns into a monster, it will The demon king whose demonic skills defy the heavens."
"What?" Qingshi was shocked and shouted, "Did the sacred tree produce spiritual intelligence and transform into a demon?"
"How is this possible?" Yan Ruyun also had an expression of disbelief on his face, "The sacred tree is a tree and a plant! How can it produce spiritual intelligence and transform into a demon?"
"We didn't believe what Yue Jian said at first," Yan Dunhuang said. "There has never been a precedent for plants to become demons in Tianlong Continent. Therefore, this is beyond our knowledge. However, Yue Jian knew about the ancient immortal era. , there was a situation where spiritual plants were cultivated to become immortals. He was well-informed, so he made such a judgment. Later, after we entered the Shenmu Palace, we saw the sacred tree that turned into a demon with our own eyes, and everyone believed it."
"Oh my god!" Yan Ruyun sighed, "We always thought that the demonic beasts were using the sacred forest to deal with us humans. Unexpectedly, the opposite happened. It turned out that the sacred trees controlled the demonic beasts and wanted to use them to exterminate the demonic beasts. We humans.”
"It is indeed the sacred tree that controls the monsters," Yan Dunhuang said. "The sacred tree is just like Emperor Kun back then. It is using the beasts to take revenge on us humans. However, it does not want to exterminate humans. It wants to make the beasts and us humans Kill each other! It is very smart, and it will not let humans or beasts become extinct. If either side becomes extinct, it will be of no benefit to it, and the winning side will only threaten itself."
"I see," Yan Ruyun said, "no wonder when humans were about to become extinct, the sacred forest suddenly stopped providing spiritual energy to the beasts. Ancestor, why did you hide these things from me before and didn't tell me anything? And me?"
"I don't want to tell you now," Yan Dunhuang said. "I didn't want to tell anyone originally. I'm telling you this now to tell little friend Qingshi about these situations. But since I told Qingshi, you can't listen. It doesn’t matter.”
"This..." Yan Ruyun said angrily, "Why?"
"Because the appearance of the bluestone ignited a spark of hope in my heart," Yan Dunhuang said, looking at the bluestone with burning eyes and full of hope, "Maybe one day, the bluestone can solve the problem of the sacred tree, and even complete the task that we failed to do back then. Feat accomplished.”
"ah!"
Yan Ruyun was stunned.
Can Qingshi solve the problems and tasks that the thirty-seven peerless masters with complete Qi and thousands of high-level monks failed to solve back then? Can it be completed?
"Old Ancestor," Yan Ruyun said, "What the thirty-seven top Shen Yuan realm masters with all their true qi couldn't do back then, can Qingshi do it? He only has all five elements of true qi, and he is now It’s still an elixir realm.”
"Haha!" Yan Dunhuang laughed, "I didn't say that he can do it now. I just said that one day, he might be able to do it. It is certain that Qingshi will enter the realm of Shen Yuan, and as time accumulates, he will His cultivation and combat power will definitely far exceed those of the thirty-seven masters we had back then. Because, Qingshi not only has all the five elements of true energy, he also has all the yin and yang true energy!" Yan Dunhuang turned to Qingshi, "Little friend Qingshi ,Am i right?"
Yan Dunhuang himself is a peerless master of both Yin and Yang Qi. Qingshi used his own Qi to heal his injuries. Although he used the Five Elements Qi, he could still identify the Yin and Yang Qi in Qingshi Qi.
"Bluestone!" Yan Ruyun turned to look at the bluestone and asked in surprise, "Is the ancestor right?"
"Yes! But it's not entirely correct!" Qingshi said with a slight smile, "In addition to having all the five elements of true energy, I also have all the yin and yang true energy. Senior Yan's cultivation is really unpredictable. I haven't activated any yin and yang true energy at all. I admire you for being able to detect this!"
"Then..." Yan Ruyun said, "How come it's not completely right?"
"Because I still have wind and thunder qi in my body," Qingshi said, "and Senior Yan didn't notice this. Let's put it this way, in addition to the five elements and yin and yang, I also have all the wind and thunder qi. I am basically the nine great qi. .”
"Ah! Oh my God!"
Not only Yan Ruyun, but also Yan Dunhuang's eyes widened and he couldn't close his mouth.
"Senior Yan is right!" Qingshi said loudly, "No matter what, I will go to the sacred tree forest and the sea of demons. I don't know whether I can solve the problem of the sacred tree or complete the unfinished feats of my predecessors, but I will try my best. Give it a try, even if you sacrifice your life like your predecessors, you won’t hesitate.”
"Okay! Okay!" Yan Dunhuang's eyes shone with surprise and he praised repeatedly, "Young friend Qingshi is indeed a righteous and heroic warrior. I was not wrong about him!"
"Of course!" Yan Ruyun was obviously very excited and said, "I have told my ancestors about the righteous deeds Qingshi has done for Baiyun City. Well~ When the time comes, Qingshi and I will go together."
"You?" Yan Dunhuang said, "Yun'er, please don't go. I don't mean to belittle you. With your level of cultivation, you will die if you go. Not only will you not be able to help, but you will be a burden."
"Ancestor!" Yan Ruyun curled his lips and shouted, "Why can't I do it? No matter how talented Qingshi is, he is no match for me now."
"That's now," Yan Dunhuang shook his head and said, "Once Qingshi enters the divine realm, ten or eight of you will not be his opponent."
"Ten or eight are no match for him?" Yan Ruyun shouted angrily, "Bragging!"
"Senior Yan was joking," Qingshi said with a smile, "If I can be even slightly better than the city lord in the future, then I will be satisfied."
"A tiny bit?" Yan Dunhuang shook his head and sighed, "If you can only beat Yun'er by a tiny bit, then don't go and die. You, before you reach the Divine Yuan realm, you can't understand the Divine Yuan. The powerful state of the realm. Well, the Shen Yuan realm cannot be achieved overnight. Don’t be anxious, you should concentrate on your cultivation first!”
"Yes!" Qingshi replied respectfully.
After the three of them talked about their business and chatted for a while, Yan Ruyun said: "Old Ancestor, since you are no longer in serious trouble, please follow me down the mountain and return to Baiyun City."
"No," Yan Dunhuang said, "I have just detoxified, and my body still needs to be recuperated with the help of this black ice formation. Besides, I still need to think of a way to see if I can help little friend Qingshi practice."
"No need!" Qingshi said, "I will follow the instructions of my senior and just practice by myself. Why should my senior bother me?"
"Yes, ancestor," Yan Ruyun said, "The most important thing is that you take good care of yourself."
"You don't need to worry about me," Yan Dunhuang said, "I just have this idea. Okay, you go down the mountain. Yun'er, come back to pick me up in ten days. Alas, my body has a thousand years to spare. I have accumulated real power through practice, but all my meridians have been destroyed, turning me into a useless person. Without your help, I can't get down the mountain at all. If I get down by myself, I will just fall into pieces!"
······
Qingshi and Yan Ruyun stood up to say goodbye to Yan Dunhuang, and then went down the mountain back to Baiyun City together.
After returning, Qingshi closed his weapons shop the next day and devoted his whole body and soul to the practice of Shuiyuan Gong.
Water source skill is a very powerful water-based skill. It was originally created by Hu Hailong's ancestor, Hu Jinyang, known as the "God of the Sea". After Qingshi and the others obtained this skill, Qingshi, Duan Wutian, Chen Tianye, Hu Hailong and Xiang Andu practiced it.
In the blink of an eye, more than twenty years have passed, and everyone has achieved different results in practicing this technique. Except for the unknown situation of Hu Hailong, among the four Qing Duan and Chen Xiang, Qing Shi naturally has the highest talent and understanding, followed by Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian, and Xiang An is undoubtedly the worst. However, to this day, Qing Duan and Chen are not as good as Xiang An in understanding the Water Source Kung Fu, because Xiang An has already fully understood the way of water, while Qing Duan and Chen have not yet.
Qingshi originally did not attach much importance to the two martial arts skills of Shuiyuan Gong and Fenghen Watermark, because in Qingshi's view, although these two martial arts and martial arts are indeed extensive and profound, they are not very suitable for his own practice. They are only practiced to assist in enlightenment. . But what Qingshi didn't expect was that Xiang An actually understood the heavenly way of water with Shuiyuan Gong. Only then did Qingshi realize how extraordinary Shuiyuan Gong was.
Now, among the five elements of heaven, Qingshi has not fully understood the way of water. Therefore, he drew on Xiang An's experience and began to study the water source skill and wind mark water mark again.
Qingshi originally had too many martial arts skills to practice and heavenly ways to understand, so he was not very devoted to the practice of Shuiyuan Gong. Now he concentrated on studying it and soon made considerable progress.
Qingshi was focused on nothing else and spent most of his time every day practicing the Water Source Technique and Wind Mark Water Seal. After two full years, Qingshi still didn't realize the heavenly way of penetrating water.
Originally, the key to enlightenment was a sudden enlightenment, and Qingshi did not insist on it. However, after practicing for two years, Qingshi felt that there was no room for improvement in terms of these two skills and martial arts. This made Qingshi I'm a little confused, why can Xiang An understand the way of heaven through water through this, but he can't?
On this day, Qingshi couldn't find any feeling while practicing Shuiyuan Gong, so he went to find Xiang An. Xiang An has never been imprisoned in the egg house since Xiaopang woke up, because Qingshi used soul magic on Xiang An to make him extremely loyal to him. Since he no longer worried that Xiang An would stab him in the back, Qingshi asked Xiaopang not to lock Xiang An in the egg house again.
In fact, after so many years since leaving Tianlong Continent, Xiang An has long been regarded as his brother by Qingshi. Using soul magic to change his inner emotions is not only for his own safety, but also to strengthen Xiang An's belief and let Xiang An strengthen his belief. Under no circumstances will he have any evil thoughts that are detrimental to himself. Because his brothers are not exactly the same, Qingshi cannot treat Xiang An as openly as he does Chen Tianye and Duan Wutian, and there is no grudge at all.
