Going all the way south, Ye Feng found an abandoned base, then went all the way down, found a room and hid in it.
According to what the ancestor said, the portal on the Jingshui base should be guarded. It would not be a wise move at this time, as it would be dangerous.
Therefore, Ye Feng was prepared to wait here for a while until the portal reopened and other casual cultivators could come and go freely.
Lying on the cold bed, looking at the dark ceiling and feeling the silence around him, Ye Feng had mixed feelings in his heart.
There was no way last time. The opponent's two clones of the Returning Master failed, and he had no chance at all. It was understandable that his merits were wasted in vain.
But this time, even though there was a 50% chance, he still failed to seize the opportunity. Because he was afraid of death, he became a coward. No one can blame him for this. He can only blame himself for having no courage, no courage, and being a waste.
It's a pity that all the merits that were worked so hard were wasted.
I am indeed not the Son of Destiny. How can I, a waste like me who is greedy for life and afraid of death, be worthy of the Son of Destiny?
I deserve to stay at the bottom for the rest of my life. From the perspective of this life, I will be nothing more than a golden elixir, which will turn into a handful of loess and dissipate in the world in three or four thousand years.
Why am I so greedy for life and afraid of death? Why am I such a waste? We had obviously made a decision before and wanted to give it a try, but why couldn't we make up our mind at the last moment?
How did you feel that peace of mind after you decided to be a coward? Am I born to be a coward?
No! No! No! Absolutely not!
Well, my journey here has been so smooth. My family loves me, my friends help me, and I had many adventures in the wild. I found treasures easily, and beautiful women fell in love with me...
It seems that I have never suffered any setbacks before!
Unlike other casual cultivators, who struggle between life and death every day, are used to seeing failures, and have experienced pain... If they were such people, such as the Yunzhong Bao brothers who were very famous among the casual cultivators, they would definitely rush in directly. In the cave, if you try to get rich, you won't have any hesitation!
Ancestor... he is my help and my shackles!
Do you want to discuss it with the ancestor and ask him not to help me so much in the future, and only take action at the most critical moments, such as in a fatal situation?
wrong! This doesn’t work either! I also know that I will not die. It will not achieve the effect of exercise and will only go to the other extreme.
…
Various thoughts were swirling in Ye Feng's mind, and suddenly, he felt an inexplicable aura.
Is this a sense of pleasure? Is it a kind of vitality? Is it an unprecedented ease? Is it an endless feeling?
These feelings do not come from within, but from outside... No! Not outside! It’s the whole world!
This is the whole world emitting joy!
Ye Feng quickly communicated with his ancestor: "Ancestor?"
"Yes." The ancestor replied quickly: "They should have succeeded."
After getting the exact answer, Ye Feng couldn't help but shed tears: I'm so stupid, really, I should give it a try! I knew there was danger down there, but I didn't know it. But that immeasurable merit is my only chance to change my life!
It's a pity that it's too late to say anything now. All those merits have been obtained by the five Venerable Returning Void Masters, and he is a joke.
"Are you disappointed?" The ancestor's voice sounded from the bottom of his heart again.
"Yes." Ye Feng decisively admitted: "I am too stupid, too timid, and too afraid of death, eh..."
"Actually, I lied to you." The ancestor said again.
"What?" Ye Feng couldn't understand.
"I said the success rate was 50% before, but I lied to you." The ancestor explained: "I divined at that time, and the success rate was almost 80%."
"Ah? Eighty percent?" Ye Feng felt a little aggrieved: "Why? Why did you lie to me?"
"Because I want to test whether you are suitable for inheriting the fundamental secrets of my Ye family." The ancestor's voice was full of pride: "The test is successful, and you are the descendant of my Ye family! No one is more suitable for inheriting the skills than you. Got it!"
"Just for the test?" Ye Feng still didn't understand: "That's a huge amount of merit! This feeling of joy in the world, how much merit must there be! If it is all used on my spiritual roots, how high can it be raised! Earth level! ? Or a heavenly product? Just for testing, wasted in vain? "
"Yes, it's just for testing." The ancestor's voice was full of emotion: "I have always thought that you are not a suitable person to inherit the technique. You like to take risks too much. Just like these two times, the opportunity of Venerable Returning to the Void, You dare to think about it, but I have already planned to go out and find you a new technique after saving your life."
"But this time you gave me a surprise. You suppressed your greed and did not step into the abyss of death... You know what is really important."
"The most fundamental secret method of my Ye family is those four words: seek good luck and avoid evil. Seek good luck first and avoid evil behind. It seems that pursuing good luck is more important, but what is really important is avoiding evil: If everyone can If you're dead, what's the point of having great opportunities?"
"Just like this time, their chance of defeating the external demon is 80%, but it doesn't mean that your chance of winning the opportunity is 80%. If you go down, even if I don't hesitate to spend all my strength, you will be able to get rid of the five void-returning clones. The chance of snatching the last blow from the external demon is less than 10%, and the chance of surviving their pursuit is even less than 50%! Then for you, it is a place of death!"
"But you didn't go down, whether you were afraid of death or Yourou, you didn't go down after all. You didn't get carried away by your past success and restrained your greed. And this is the fundamental way to avoid evil!"
"Control greed, curb greed. These four words are what my great-great-grandfather told me. My grandfather and father also told me since childhood. Over and over again, I have always kept them in mind. From foundation building to golden elixir, from Yuan Dynasty The baby has transformed into a spirit, and then he breaks through and returns to the void..."
"Hey, I thought those countless successes would last forever, but unfortunately, I still couldn't hold on to those four words in the end, and chose to give it a try in the Piaomiao Palace. As you can see, only this wisp of residue was left. My soul is trapped in this ring for life after life."
"I'm very lucky. I haven't taught you these four words, curb greed, but you have learned it yourself. Your understanding is better than mine!"
Ye Feng also didn't expect that his simple greed for life and fear of death would now become the enlightenment that his ancestor boasted about.
what is this? Lucky hit?
However, knowing the dangers in the cave, he felt relieved. At least his decision was correct, and the heart-wrenching regret was much reduced.
After sighing for a while, he got up and walked out of the room, intending to take a look outside.
If the external demon is killed, will the world become warm again?
When we walked out of the base, it was still white outside, but it didn't snow anymore.
I don’t know how many years it will take for such a thick layer of ice to melt, and I don’t know how many years it will take for the land below to be able to grow food. This is a huge change in the world.
Hey, why do you feel that the spiritual energy around you seems to be much thinner?
Before Ye Feng asked, the ancestor gave the answer directly: "These guys are really good at it. Not only have they gained merit, but they are still reluctant to let go of the origin of the world... After destroying the external demon, I became the external demon again. This world is better to escape." It can’t be destroyed!”
