Master Shenmu glanced at Zhang Changkong and said: "These two questions, let me answer you first, why don't you establish additional nodes? Our Xiangshan Sect Mountain Range is special. The entire magic circle that gathers the earth's essence is because of the Xiangshan Sect Mountain Range." Existence, as for how special it is, you will know later, and the Dusk Desert is also a relatively special place, so an additional magic circle can be established. This is the main reason. Other reasons include the huge expenditure required to establish the magic circle, the need for people to guard it, etc. , so unless the Xiangshan Sect moves to another place, it will basically not establish a new earth essence node gathering array."
"As for the reason why you are transferred to Shensang Peak, it is because Master Liakong and his friends plan to establish a new sect. When the new sect is established, it will definitely gather a large amount of earth essence, and accordingly, there will be no shortage of battles. Well, it depends on how you think about it."
Zhang Changkong said: "In other words, if you don't follow the Master of the Sky, the only way to continue forward is to plunder?"
"Although it's not quite accurate, the meaning is similar." Master Shenmu nodded.
"This time won't be too long, right? I heard you say that many late-stage warlocks are now in the Five Heavens Pass and the Dusk Desert. They are also collecting essence to condense the domain, right? If the Sky Masters and their establishment of new sects are counted, how long will it take? Ten years later, even if I get enough energy by then, I won’t have enough longevity to condense the magic domain to be promoted to a mage," Zhang Changkong said calmly.
Master Shenmu laughed: "You are quite confident, but it's no wonder. There are only three or two people of your age in the main sect who can enter the late stage of warlock."
"But you are wrong about one thing. Nine out of ten warlocks in the Five Heavenly Gates and Dusk Desert use their essence to understand the exercises. I said that there is a great connection between the magic field and the visualization space of the exercises. Therefore, the essence can not only be used to condense the Dharma domain, but also consume the essence to temporarily strengthen the visualization, so as to understand the technique."
"As for condensing the domain, you should wait until your skills reach the level of seeing the true meaning before you consider it." Master Shenmu felt that Zhang Changkong underestimated the difficulty of being promoted to a mage, but he did not correct him and continued: "As for the time you mentioned, , but it won’t be long, there are still about twenty years. In these twenty years, your skills may not have broken through to the stage of seeing the true meaning, so your worries are completely unnecessary.”
Master Shenmu finally said: "You should have a lot of questions, but for now, what I have said to you should be enough for you to make a judgment. Now, tell me, what is your decision?"
Zhang Changkong looked at Master Shenmu, and Master Shenmu also looked at Zhang Changkong calmly.
"Last time, the three people from Shensang Peak came to my territory and killed some people." Zhang Changkong said calmly: "Their purpose was for the three bugs in my hand. In other words, their purpose was to plunder. They This behavior undoubtedly angered me, so even though one of the people had finally escaped, I still chased him and killed him with all my strength."
"I'm not saying this to prove whether I'm guilty or not, or whether I've violated the Xiangshan Sect's rules or such trivial matters, because I wouldn't care about these at all at that time."
"That person from the Xiangshan Sect is undoubtedly above me in terms of cultivation, skills in using spells, or combat experience. However, the incredible thing is that during the battle, I didn't feel afraid at all. The only thing I feel is anger, anger at being robbed, or dissatisfaction with the act of plundering, maybe both. In this passionate mood, my response to both thinking and fighting is much better than usual. It’s a huge improvement. It can be said that being able to kill the late-stage warlock Shen Sangfeng is probably the reason for my super performance.”
Zhang Changkong paused and continued: "If I agree with the behavior of plundering, then how do I understand the anger I felt at that time? Can I show my strength normally, or am I being negligent? He lost his life."
Zhang Changkong looked at Master Shenmu and asked, "Peak Master, do you think it's because I'm kind? Or because I have a sense of justice?"
Master Shenmu smiled slightly after hearing this: "Probably because you are still young."
Shenmu secretly thought in his heart, wait until you experience the feeling of powerlessness towards the end of life step by step, and see if you can still speak as confidently as you do now. Of course, there is no need to say these words to Zhang Changkong.
"I know your decision. You can wait at Wanzhu Peak first." Shenmu signaled to Zhang Changkong that he could retreat.
Zhang Changkong walked towards the mountainside step by step, and wasps were flying behind him.
Zhang Changkong remained silent, and the scenery on both sides could not attract his attention.
"Hoo~"
Zhang Changkong took a breath and thought in his heart: "My outlook on life, values, and world view have long been formed, so the education of the Xiangshan Sect did not have a great impact on me when I was a child, but for other children, Those three years may be enough to have a huge impact on their future lives. As for the act of plundering, judging from my three views, it should be incorrect. However, for others, it may be like eating when they are hungry. As a matter of course, the Xiangshan Sect neither advocates nor criticizes plunder. Maybe I will meet many immortal cultivators from other sects in the future, and their education and customs may be incompatible with my understanding. "
Zhang Changkong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "In other words, when we encounter battles in the future, the boundaries between justice and injustice have been blurred. Everyone is fighting for their own justice. If I don't understand this, I will not be able to treat the enemy in any way in the future. A glimmer of recognition that makes you relax for a moment may result in your life being lost.”
The wilderness is so vast, but there is no unified moral concept. It may be true that the Xiangshan Sect is a demon sect, but there are many disciples of the so-called righteous sects who plunder the five heavenly gates.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter whether it's me or the world that's wrong. Fighting for your own life is always right."
Zhang Changkong is neither a thinker nor a philosopher, nor does he have the ideal or ability to "help the world", and is even a little selfish.
Zhang Changkong walked halfway up the mountain and ignored the people on the road.
Others also saw that Zhang Changkong had no expression on his face and that there was a big insect following him behind him. He looked like he was not easy to mess with, so no one came over to say hello. Well, no one blocked Zhang Changkong's way. Zhang Changkong was walking in front of him. In the middle of the road.
Zhang Changkong didn't know many people in Wanzhu Peak, and there was no one he was interested in saying hello to. He walked towards the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall without looking sideways, intending to stay in Wanzhu Peak for a while.
Zhang Changkong thought about it. Master Liekong's name means that he is a wind attribute monk. Just like Master Shenmu's name, you can tell that he is a wood attribute at a glance. I don't know if it is like this in the Xiangshan Sect or other sects. In addition to the monks in the mage realm, In addition to his real name, he also has a nickname. I don’t know whether he chose this name by himself or someone else.
To be honest, Zhang Changkong hoped that the peak master would be an earth-type monk like him, so that he might have a chance to get one or two special spells from the peak master. He felt that the attack ability of "Earth and Stone Mastery" was not outstanding. , the defense is not bad, and there will definitely be no less battles in places like the Five Heavenly Gates in the future. However, Zhang Changkong hopes to learn a powerful attack spell. Besides, there are still two years left, and the critical moment will come. He I don’t have a second earth spell in my hand yet.
Zhang Changkong lived in Wanzhu Peak for half a month before Master Shenmu summoned him again.
