late!
The Half-Saint's Profound Edict is the most extreme condensation of the Holy Way by the Half-Saint. It is the most powerful application of the "Tao" made by the Half-Saint based on his own interpretation of the "Tao"!
This is more difficult to refine than the semi-saint incarnation, and possesses the most deadly power of "guidance" and "interpretation". Its superior substitute is only the "Golden Edict of the Holy Emperor"!
in other words……
In the whole world, except for the "Golden Edict of the Holy Emperor", it can suppress the "Semi-Saint Profound Edict".
Except for a very small number of people of the same level and low level, it is basically impossible to abandon the influence of the "Semi-Saint Profound Edict".
——Those who are devoted to the Tao, when faced with the most essential interpretation of the Holy Tao, are fascinated by it and try to reach it.
The strange behaviors of Xiao Kongtong and Ye Xiaotian all originated from this.
On the other hand, Mei Jiren is different from the first two. In the previous era, he already had the experience of meeting a saint, and had also fought against the "Half-Saint Profound Edict", so he knew what level of power it was.
Unfortunately, after destroying the Half-Saint Xuanzhi in the spiritual world, it was too late to persuade and stop the two people around him.
No one would have thought that Jiang Buyi would leave behind such a strong backhand after he left, not to mention that it was used without any gain after he had already lost an incarnation for half his life.
——This is a greater loss than losing two semi-saint incarnations in a row, Jiang Buyi, what are you trying to do?
Mei Jiren couldn't figure it out.
But he seemed to understand why Jiang Buyi had to talk so much nonsense before leaving.
That guy used dialogue to divert everyone's attention away from him and transfer it to himself, just to weaken everyone's attention and make everyone unable to do anything the first moment the "Half-Saint Profound Edict" was triggered. react to.
There is no doubt that Jiang Buyi succeeded!
In the field, when the black and red semi-sage edicts were laid out in Jiutian, it seemed that only Mei Ji was left awake.
Everyone else's heads began to feel dizzy, and then they looked up involuntarily.
In the spiritual world of Ye Xiaotian and Xiao Kongtong, this "Semi-Saint Profound Edict" is just like the "Holy Emperor's Golden Edict" seen under the deep sea that day...
Xiao Kongtong has never even experienced the Holy Emperor’s Golden Edict issued by his teacher!
But at this moment, he looked up at the sky and still felt his insignificance.
The spiritual world is completely filled with the "Semi-Saint Profound Edict", which contains the Semi-Saint's most extreme condensation of the Holy Way, but there is not much content, only one word:
"Return!"
What is "return"?
"Universal glitz begins from chaos; dust, sound, and fruit begin from nothingness..."
"The Tao has no embellishments, but the Holy Finger refers to the original heart; the uncut jade will return, and I will return to my true self..."
The Half-Saint's Profound Decree only contains the condensed word "gui", but those who saw the Half-Saint's authentic work heard the sound of Mi Mi Sacred in their ears.
These semi-sages' interpretations of "return" hit the minds of all those who saw the semi-sage's profound edict, like Hong Zhong Dalu, cleansing people's souls.
"puff!"
Ye Xiaotian immediately spurted out a mouthful of blood, his vitality severely damaged.
Unlike the "Golden Edict of the Holy Emperor" at that time, which only had the power of "announcement", the "Semi-Saint Profound Edict" in front of me was more like an "order".
It commands all those who are devoted to the Tao to remove all flashy pretense and return to themselves. Only in this way can they come into contact with the original heart of people, achieve "not to be happy with things, not to be sad with oneself", and thus transcend the world and touch the holy way.
"I was wrong……"
Ye Xiaotian's eyes showed a deep look of remorse.
He finally understood that leaving the Holy Palace and building the Spiritual Palace was a "sealing" of his own heart.
I have seen the upper world and am tired of the power struggles, but the method I choose to fight is to escape, not to stick to my heart and prove the truth with my strength.
In this way, now, more than ten years later, after finally seeing his true intention clearly, he was able to achieve a long-overdue breakthrough.
Now, I am deceiving myself again!
The battle between the Semi-Saints was completely beyond the scope of his current level to intervene, but in order to enter the situation, he swallowed the holy blood and intervened forcefully.
This kind of greed for external things, longing for shortcuts, and gaining power is not the path to enlightenment and sainthood at all!
People should "return" to their true nature...
"puff!"
Just when such thoughts flashed through his mind, Ye Xiaotian spurted out another mouthful of blood.
This time, it seemed that what he spurted out was not just blood, as the secret formation under his feet swirled, and there were faint signs of cracking.
At the same time, the external power that came from begging, the holy blood, also turned into rich holy power, and all of it spread out of the body.
Ye Xiaotian suddenly seemed to have aged dozens of years, with wrinkles and black dead spots all over his body.
From the interpretation of "Tao" and the yearning for "Saint", in a short time, it turned into a state of "over-interpretation", "over-obsession", "greed" and "loss", which was vividly displayed in Ye Xiaotian. .
"I was really wrong..."
Ye Xiaotian regretted it so much that he even had the idea of death as a martyr and returning to his roots.
He stretched out his hands and pierced his own chest. If he wanted to tear open his flesh and blood, cut out his heart and lungs, and prove the heaven and earth with his true form, he would turn himself into chaos and return to the most primitive state of "Holy" and "Tao" - nothingness!
"Foolish!"
At this moment, a ferocious monster rushed into Ye Xiaotian's spiritual world, stepping on the ghost king of the ten palaces, and was covered in red dust.
If the private school teacher in the secular world held a teaching whip, the monster rushed in front of the desperate student and chopped it off with a sword without any explanation.
"People follow the Tao, and the Tao follows nature, and then they become saints!"
"But people return to people, Tao returns to Dao, and saints return to saints. The three are not the same thing... Following the Tao and becoming saints does not mean 'turning the Tao and returning to the saints', which leads to chaos!"
"Gold is not pure, and no one is perfect; the world is not perfect, and I am not perfect... Becoming perfect does not mean that you will become perfect, because the perfection you imagine does not exist in the world at all!"
Mei Jiren's sword elephant roared, its eyes were red, like a transcendent person who entered and emerged from the mortal world, giving a warning to those who were about to fall into the abyss in the most understandable words. , pulled it back.
"Don't take advantage of other evil ways..."
"Wake up, old man!"
He slashed it down with a sword, and the true meaning of the Semi-Saint Profound Decree "Return" that guided him in the world of Ye Xiaotian's mind, "Dust to ashes, soil to soil", was instantly wiped out.
"scare!"
Ye Xiaotian, who suddenly woke up, was soaked to the skin, his body shook violently, and his eyes regained consciousness.
The sweat on his forehead dripped down the bridge of his nose, and he felt a burning pain in his chest. When he lowered his head, he realized that he had almost torn his body in half with his hands and took out his liver and lungs. Naturally, he was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.
"You're obsessed..."
Mei Jiren sighed lightly. After waking up one person, he did not dare to delay at all, and then looked at Xiao Kongtong.
Ye Xiaotian hurriedly took out the elixir for himself and drank it, trying hard to block his body's original impulse and prevent himself from taking another look at the semi-sacred decree.
After roughly repairing his injuries, he had enough energy to look at Xiao Kongtong on the side.
Xiao Kongtong's condition is much better than him.
The most difficult thing for ancient sword cultivators to cultivate is will, and the most powerful thing is also will.
Therefore, Xiao Kongtong was more able to persevere than Ye Xiaotian, but after all, after seeing the Semi-Saint Profound Edict, he only lasted ten breaths longer than Ye Xiaotian, and a deep look of repentance appeared on his face.
With such a look, the true meaning of "return" is reflected.
Xiao Kongtong's face squirmed and was no longer the face he was familiar with. At the same time, the scar on his neck faded away, and his thumbs grew back and returned to their original appearance.
"this……"
Meiji was stunned for a moment.
You, you, you...are you not the Eight Masters? !
Before he could help, Xiao Kongtong's face showed a fierce struggle after returning to his original appearance, as if he was having the most intense battle in his heart.
The memory is a blur...
Xiao Kongtong felt like he had gone back to his childhood, when he met the man who had led him to a mediocre destiny, and turned to another extreme man.
This is the most extreme "return" in his spiritual world.
"Young man, I see that you have an excellent appearance and extraordinary muscles and bones. You look like an immortal from heaven, and you also have a formless sword body... Oh, this sword body is so good for me, but I just lack this thing... Uh, I got sidetracked. Let’s put it this way, I have a peerless secret book here, which is based on what I have learned throughout my life. It will never be seen in thousands of years... Do you want to learn it?"
It was hard to imagine that these words, which seemed like deception, came from the mouth of a man in a white shirt with sharp eyebrows and starry eyes.
He carries two huge swords on his back, one purple and one gold, and two thin swords on his waist, one black and one green. He looks graceful and noble, with an extraordinary bearing, but his words are astonishing, like a charlatan.
"You are the 'kidnapping man' mentioned in the book, right? A man who specializes in deceiving children and abducting them for money." The child was not fooled at all. He licked the candy man in his hand and looked curiously at the man who was following the weird uncle. , I can’t see her appearance clearly, I just remember that she should be a very good-looking aunt... Is this the "kidnapping woman"?
"Ahem!" The abductor man seemed to be choked, "Little brat, where are your parents?"
"I'm from Wanfutang. Grandma Hu buys fruit there. She will come to me soon." The child pointed elsewhere, where there was an old woman looking around, extremely frightened... Hey, Hu Grandma can’t seem to see me?
"Are you an orphan from Wanfu Hall?" the abductor man murmured, not caring, "Little brat, my inheritance is the most powerful. Anyway, I don't charge money, and I don't plan to sell you. You accept my peerless secret book. Just flip through it when you have time. Quan should be able to read and learn quickly."
He couldn't help but take out a thick ancient book, and his voice was full of temptation, "Do you want to go to heaven? Do you want to fly with a sword? Do you want to be as free and unrestrained as an immortal? Open this book, and you can Do it!”
"I want to..." The child had put down the candy, and seemed to be tempted, but when he just thought of Grandma Hu's teachings that "it's impossible for pie to fall in the sky"...
"That's right!" The abductor man slapped the thick ancient book unceremoniously, directly into his... forehead!
The little kid was frightened.
Such a thick book is missing? Into my head?
Killed!
"Study hard, practice hard, and come to me again when you become famous. If you don't become famous, you can never say that you are my disciple!"
…
"Return" means returning to chaos.
The chaotic memory only has intermittent fragments.
Xiao Kongtong was still struggling in confusion, and the kidnapping man's voice vaguely appeared in his ears again, which seemed to be the follow-up.
"It's not difficult to practice swordsmanship. It only takes a few breaths. I don't have much time to teach you. I have to fight tomorrow. I'll give you a simple demonstration!"
"Watch it, I will only demonstrate it once. How much you can remember depends on you."
brush!
"This is called 'the gods and Buddhas'... this is called 'prajna'..."
brush!
"This is called 'time and space jump'...this is called 'second world'..."
brush!
"This is called 'Soul Controlling Ghost Technique'... This is called 'Lord of Fengdu'..."
Endless ghosts fill the streets.
But the people on the street remained indifferent, as if they couldn't see it at all.
"It means! Ghost..." The child was so frightened that the candy man fell to the ground.
"Xiaoba, stop messing around. How can you be so unfavorable as to encourage others to thrive? Are you not afraid of ruining your children?" Next to him was an ethereal and gentle voice. Even if it was a scolding tone, it made people feel a little more at ease.
"Haha, aren't we running out of time? Tomorrow I have to fight with Hua Changdeng, and I have to give him all the lessons today." The kidnapped man didn't care, and lowered his head to ask, "Little brat, remember everything. Are you staying?"
"Yeah, remember! Nine swordsmanship, eighteen swords... huh? What's that?"
…
The broken memories were still flowing, and Xiao Kongtong felt that he could no longer hold on any longer.
At this time, the kidnapping man's voice appeared again.
"When you step into the way of swordsmanship, all the early training can be achieved through 'practice'. Your physique is destined to make you grow to a height soon. In their parlance, it is called 'grandmaster' or 'throne'."
"At this time, it comes to what is really important, the 'enlightenment' I want to talk to you about."
"how to say……"
When the abductor man said this, he seemed to be unable to describe it, so he could only try his best to explain it.
"Enlightenment is very mysterious. When you open the book yourself, a little man will pop out and he will explain everything to you."
"In general, this Tao is mysterious and mundane. Before you surpass me, you can understand it this way..."
"The cultivation of sword cultivators and the cultivation of souls are nothing more than to make oneself as close to the 'Tao' as possible, and then to be made a 'saint', but one cannot become the 'Tao' itself, nor can one be absorbed or involved in the 'saint' In the death vortex, it can only be said that... it is infinitely tending to perfection, but it is never perfect, which in itself is a kind of perfection!"
"Ahem, is it difficult to understand?"
"However, this is difficult for others, but for you, it is very simple!"
The man who kidnapped Ding Ding said and suddenly smiled brightly.
"You have a very good teacher. Before you surpass me, the teacher, you can think this way while opening the book I gave you..."
"The Tao is me! The Holy is..."
…
Card!
My mind feels like it's about to burst.
Xiao Kongtong almost lost himself in the chaos.
But he still insisted. The words the teacher said at that time should be the key to help him break through the confusion here.
But, I can't remember...
"The Tao is me, the Saint is...what? Saint, what exactly is it?"
"ah--"
Xiao Kongtong had a splitting headache, blood was flowing from all his orifices, and he suddenly looked up to the sky and roared, all the memories in his mind were cleared, and the black and red semi-sage edict spread out, filling everything.
"The Tao is me, the saint is...'return'?"
Xiao Kongtong seemed to have understood everything. He inserted his hands into his chest and was about to cut himself open.
But at this time, the abductor man appeared again.
He only had an illusory figure from behind, and he seemed to be holding his childhood face in front of him. His back was clearly facing the semi-holy decree, but he was still explaining gently:
"The Tao is me, the sage is..."
Suddenly, as if he sensed the existence of the Semi-Saint Profound Edict behind him, almost destroying the consciousness of the child in front of him, the abducted man suddenly looked back, his eyebrows raised.
"roll!
! "
With a bang, the semi-sacred decree in his mind shattered.
Xiao Kongtong's eyes returned to clarity, and Tong Kong regained focus, but suddenly shrank.
"Half-Saint Profound Decree!"
"This is the semi-sage's profound decree!"
"The word 'return' has the power to decompose all things and return to chaos. You must not resist!"
He tightly grasped the sword that Mr. Jiren had slashed at him, and suddenly uttered human words, which shocked Meiji and Ye Xiaotian.
"You, can you break free from the influence of the Semi-Saint Profound Decree?" Mei Jiren was shocked. This guy is not the Eight Masters. How did you do it?
Xiao Kongtong breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the two people in front of him broke free earlier than him.
But before he could completely let go, he seemed to remember something and suddenly looked back.
In the distance, under the influence of the semi-sage's mysterious edict, everything has truly "returned to its original nature" in a terrifying way!
The giant stone giant that originally chased him and Ye Xiaotian, and could be resurrected even after being killed, fell down, turned into a primitive mountain range, and melted into the Miracle Forest.
The two Void Warriors nestled between the stone giants are somewhat wise. They have obviously lived for a long time and have ways to deal with them.
One squatted down with his head in his hands, roaring filial piety constantly to fight against the pain in his mind; the other followed the "ho ho" barking like a cat and a tiger without looking at the semi-sage's profound edict.
"Xu Xiaoshou...can't watch!" Xiao Kongtong tried to get up fiercely, only to realize that he was exhausted, so he could only remind him.
But as soon as he finished shouting this sentence, he saw the empty void, and under the influence of the Semi-Saint Profound Decree, the outline of a human figure appeared.
Then the contact disappeared, and Xu Xiaoshou's body covered his head and "returned to his true self" in agony.
"Mr. Jiren!" Xiao Kongtong shouted immediately with his heart clenched.
Mei Jiren also realized who Jiang Buyi wanted to target this time. He immediately pulled out his stone sword and flew away.
However, at this time, in front of Xu Xiaoshou, who was in great pain and exposed his body in mid-air, the mist transformed into a figure that resembled a lake.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"It turns out that even your eight acquaintances are fake. How dare you threaten me?"
Jiang Buyi's thoughts left in the semi-sage's profound edict materialized. Before Mei Jiren could take action, he kept grinning ferociously, and his right arm that had gathered endless holy power came out directly, and in an instant, it passed through Xu Xiaoshou's heart!
"This Saint said that you only have two choices."
"Either follow me and live a decent life, or... die miserably!"
Time seems to have stopped at this moment.
Mei Jiren raised his sword and left, but the figure that was half a breath later looked back with Jiang Buyi with a ferocious smile, a crazy look on his face, and the scene of piercing someone with one hand, deeply penetrated into the eyes of Ye Xiaotian and Xiao Kongtong.
The power of the Semi-Saint melted away all traces of the person in Jiang Buyi's hand, just like the Saint-killing cloud light wiped out Teng Shanhai some time ago.
Xu Xiaoshou, dead?
Ye Xiaotian's lips wriggled and his whole body convulsed.
When I think of Mr. Sang, I think of the last line in the last letter left by the old guy, "My stupid apprentice, I'll leave it to you."
"No!
! "
Ye Xiaotian's eyes were about to burst, and he lost his mind on the spot. He stepped out of the secret formation of space and rushed towards Jiang Buyi like crazy.
