"A world of great strife?" Cheng Ling muttered silently and asked in confusion, "What is a world of great strife?"
At this time, the four Qingya girls had also rushed towards them. Xie Feng knew that these four women were with Cheng Ling before, so he didn't care. He said, "This matter can't be explained clearly at the moment. We will explain it in detail after the tide of beasts subsides. Look, the desolate beasts in the Immortal King Stage are getting more and more... too much."
Cheng Ling turned his head to look, and sure enough he saw the desolate beasts of the Immortal King stage that were originally just wandering around the periphery entering the plain and launching a frantic attack on the monks in the field.
The four women quickly stepped forward and formed a sword formation to resist the attacking wild beast.
Cheng Ling explained: "Brother Xie Feng, these four are disciples of Fanhua Temple, named Qingya, Qinghe, Qinghui, and Qingyi. Thanks to their help along the way. Guys, this is my good friend named Xie wind!"
The four girls were busy dealing with the desolate beast, so they could only nod slightly, indicating that they had seen it before. Qinghui glanced at Xie Feng, her heart was pounding, and she secretly wondered why this man was so good-looking. Even as a woman, she felt a little ashamed of herself. You must know that her appearance was not inferior to that of her senior sister.
Xie Feng nodded slightly, thinking he had seen it before, and said hurriedly: "Brother Cheng, there are still five days before the wild beast tide ends. These five days will be the most difficult, so everyone should go all out!"
Cheng Ling agreed and said: "After we defeat these wild beasts, we can have a good talk. You can take the right and I can take the left!"
After saying that, the long sword swung to the left of the four women. He took a deep breath in the formation. The attack power of the left and right sides of the four women was slightly weaker, and the most wild beasts gathered there. Now that evil wind has joined in, it just makes up for the lack.
By this time, the whole body was covered in the armor anyway, and there was no need to worry. The firepower was fully activated, and the exquisite sword moves of the Sky Thunder Sword Technique appeared one after another. In less than a moment, the area where the six people were was enveloped in purple thunder.
Xie Feng also showed his best ability, protecting the right side of the four women. The golden scimitar transformed from his arms blocked the opponent. The powerful sword force and sword light were drawn out like a full moon. In an instant, the desolate beast on the right side A large number of tailors were made.
The sharp sword energy and sword light flickered above the plain, and the tracks seemed to be woven into a net, releasing a cold light. Every time the energy passed by, it took away a corpse of a wild beast. In an instant, countless blood flowers exploded around Cheng Ling's group, and they all fell down with a rumble.
The monks around looked at the gorgeous colors in front of them, and they were all dumbfounded, shocked by their powerful killing power. Several monks who were fighting alone suddenly woke up and gathered together to kill the wild beast as much as possible.
Time passed little by little, and it was already the past three days. The attacks of wild beasts continued to increase, and more and more monks died.
Cheng Ling and others' arms were also weak from slashing. Time passed so slowly! There are only two days left, and it feels like a year.
The long dark night has finally passed. Although there is no sunrise or sunset in Jiuyou Immortal Mansion, there is still light and darkness. When the time came to the last day, many monks had basically exhausted their immortal energy. There was a trace of despair in their eyes, and they regretted that they should not enter the palace easily.
At this moment, the monk wearing black clothes and holding a ball of black mist encouraged loudly: "Everyone just hold on for a while, as long as today passes, the beast tide will automatically retreat!"
"What? Are you telling the truth? Where is this place, and why do you know that the beast tide will recede?"
"My immortal energy is almost at the bottom. Does he want us to contribute our last strength and drag a few wild beasts to die together?"
"That's right, you said that the wild beasts will retreat in one day. Why are you so sure?"
"That's all, no matter what, one death is necessary. Killing one will be enough, and killing two will make a profit. Let's fight!"
"I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist. If you don't give it a try, how can you know the result?"
"..."
There were different opinions, some supported and some opposed, but the monk did not defend himself and continued to encourage the black mist in his hand to continuously kill the wild beasts.
Cheng Ling glanced at Xie Feng and wondered how the monk knew that the wild beast would naturally retreat after one day. Did the teacher teach it before?
A wry smile appeared on Xie Feng's lips and he said: "Don't look at me, I don't know either! But his instigation is good for us, let's hold on for a while longer!"
The four Qingya girls screamed in unison. They had heard Cheng Ling talk about the one-month period, and they had confirmed it from the monk. Although they did not know his specific identity, they still cheered up and squeezed the immortal energy from their bodies to continue fighting. .
The same was true for Sikong Zhan, Chu Tianhe, and those outstanding Buddhist disciples. They did not believe in the monk, but were unwilling to be suppressed by the beast tide for so long. All the wild beasts were killed.
finally......
After a long period of killing, the monks who were still fighting could hardly lift their arms. The beast tide finally began to retreat slowly, but in less than a quarter of an hour, the beast tide retreated completely. The entire vast prairie is filled with the corpses of wild beasts and human monks. Where can you still see the appearance of the prairie?
All the monks fell to the ground in a state of collapse and were busy swallowing the pills. Cheng Ling and the others had almost exhausted their immortal energy and hurriedly swallowed a large amount of pills. The monks on the entire prairie had a tacit understanding. Everyone just swallowed the elixir, but no one sat on the ground to adjust their breath. Instead, they began to dissect the wild beasts that their team had killed to collect the inner elixir.
Cheng Ling understood in his heart that no one dared to adjust their breath here, for fear of being attacked by others while adjusting their breath. They all want to collect the loot as soon as possible, leave here, and find a safe place to adjust.
At this moment, the palace gate that had disappeared appeared again over the plain and slowly opened. But as Xie Feng guessed, no monk was willing to leave.
for a long time......
The door closed again and disappeared into the air.
After the gate disappeared, Qingyi came over, handed Cheng Ling a storage ring and said, "Brother Cheng, these are the desolate beast inner elixirs I collected. I'll give them to you!"
Cheng Ling was moved and said, "Thank you very much. You should also rest soon!"
Qingyi agreed and sat down aside.
After about two hours, with the help of the elixir, Cheng Ling and others had almost recovered their physical strength, except for most of their immortal energy.
However, Cheng Ling couldn't wait any longer and asked, "Brother Xie Feng, please tell me first what a time of great strife is! If we don't understand these things clearly, we won't know how to proceed in the future."
Xie Feng nodded, sorted it out in his mind for a moment, and then said slowly: "My inherited memories are many and very vague. I only know a rough idea. Now I will tell you what I know. No matter heaven, earth or the universe, everyone has a life span. It’s the limit, I don’t know if Brother Cheng agrees with this.”
Cheng Ling was stunned. He didn't expect Xie Feng to ask such a question instead of explaining directly. After pondering for a while, he said: "I should agree, there is nothing eternal in this world."
"Yes, as the saying goes, one success and one failure are one calamity. Since then, heaven and earth have passed, and there have been countless calamities. Everything in the universe will return to its original state every tens of millions of years and start again. And the great struggle The world is before the catastrophe begins, and all creatures in the world are vying for supremacy in order to find opportunities to continue the origin of life, maximize their own strength, and ensure their survival when the catastrophe comes."
"This is a broad view. There is also another saying that the universe has its own limit. As the strength of the monks continues to increase, the universe itself will also be under great pressure. What's more, these monks will start fighting from time to time and act unscrupulously. To destroy the origin of the universe."
"When the origin of the universe is destroyed, it is like a container that is riddled with holes and eventually can no longer hold it. Then the universe will completely collapse. And the creatures living in the universe can only drift among the stars until they find it. until a new cosmic space is suitable for survival."
"Do you understand this?"
Cheng Ling and others nodded slowly to express their understanding, and at the same time they felt suddenly enlightened. Xie Feng's explanation was simple and clear, as if he had reshaped the world view for himself. The universe, heaven and earth, just like humans, have their own lifespan limits and will also experience aging, sickness, and death.
This is easier for Cheng Ling to accept. As a human being who has lived on the earth for more than 40 years, he has a clear understanding of life, ecology, origin, development, etc. on the earth. When applied to the stars in the universe and the fairy world, it is the same. .
Xie Feng paused for a moment and gave them some time to digest before continuing: "That's it, countless universes, countless worlds cycle endlessly, some universes are annihilated, and new universes will be created, over and over again, endlessly."
"The strong men wandering in the interstellar find a new universe. In order to obtain living space, they will naturally have conflicts with the local tribesmen. There are only two ways to solve it. One is to fight, and the other is to merge. What we are talking about now The same is true for the fairyland we live in. Therefore, this world will be divided into countless races, including humans, demons, demons, and half-demon."
"In fact, strictly speaking, Buddhism is the Taoism left by other universes when they came to the immortal world, while Taoism is a local force. There will naturally be differences in culture, beliefs, and pursuits between the two. This is the essence of Buddhism and Taoism. The truth of the struggle!”
Everyone's hearts were shaking. Xie Feng's narration described the outline and origin of the struggle for power in the entire universe. However, Qing Ya and the other four did not want to believe his statement that Buddhism was an external force. They had grown up under the teachings of Buddhist concepts since they were young. , how can I accept it easily.
Cheng Ling saw their expressions in his eyes and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, no matter it is Buddhism, Taoism or other sects, ideological conflicts are inevitable. As long as you are dedicated to good, work hard to improve yourself, and do not cause trouble to the world. If you do what you want, you will be able to feel no regrets in your heart and in heaven!”
The four goddesses became emotional and moved, as if they had realized something. They all made a Buddhist salute to him and said, "Thank you, Brother Cheng, for your advice!"
Xie Feng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that these people wouldn't be able to accept it. Judging from their behavior with Cheng Ling, it was obvious that they were extremely close friends. If they were offended, it would not look good on their face.
However, he also sincerely admired Cheng Ling. Just as he had previously taught him to resolve his hatred of humans as a half-demon, in Cheng Ling's eyes, everything in the world is equal, there is no distinction between high and low, and everyone has freedom. The right to survive, whether human, demon, or half-demon.
"He has a heart that is tolerant of all things and embraces all rivers. He is not arrogant, pretentious, or inferior. He is self-reliant, tolerant, tenacious, and wise. There is almost no shortcoming. Brother Cheng, I am really lucky to know you!"
Xie Feng sighed in his heart, feeling extremely lucky that he could meet Cheng Ling and become friends with him.
