After several encounters with Zhou Yixian, Song Xing could tell that Zhou Yixian's travels in the world definitely did not have the game mentality he said.
He plays in the world, and in addition to looking for the real way to immortality, he also seems to be hiding from some mysterious existence.
Hearing Song Xing's direct question, Zhou Yixian glanced at him and asked: "Who do you think I am hiding from?"
Song Xing looked up at the sky and said nothing, but it was self-evident.
With Zhou Xian's strength, even if Master Daoxuan holds the Immortal Killing Sword, Zhou Xian can escape unharmed even if he is defeated. However, he has been hiding in the world for these years, just to avoid a terrible enemy.
Song Xing boldly guessed that this enemy might be the way of heaven in this world.
"You're right, no one is allowed to live forever in this world." Zhou Xian looked bitterly as he watched Song Xing tell the world's biggest secret word by word.
"Perhaps there were truly immortal immortals before, but since the Emperor of Heaven left this world, no one in this world can become an immortal anymore."
Song Xing raised his eyebrows: "Emperor of Heaven?"
Then from Zhou Xian's mouth, Song Xing got more news.
In the ancient times of this world, the most primitive human cultivation techniques could make people immortal.
No one knows where the cultivation techniques at that time came from. They only know that the person with the highest cultivation level in the cultivation world at that time formed an organization of practitioners and called himself the Emperor of Heaven.
As this organization grew and grew, strong men from all walks of life gathered, gradually forming an extremely large force.
This force was called 'Heaven'.
Tianting's ambition is great, he wants to control the entire world.
The so-called control of the world means turning the entire world into a part of heaven. This is their ultimate goal.
So Heaven sent a large number of strong men to fight in various places in an attempt to completely control the entire world.
During those years, the entire world was plunged into war, with rivers of blood flowing and corpses strewn everywhere. Monks fell every moment, and even true immortals fell.
But later, I don't know what happened, which caused the sudden and rapid decline of Heaven and the disappearance of the Emperor of Heaven.
The history of human practice seems to have been completely wiped out by some kind of existence. It was not until the appearance of the Book of Heaven in thousands of years that practice appeared in the human world again.
But in the new world of cultivation, resources are scarce and spiritual energy is thin. If you want to break through to a higher cultivation level, you need to pay an unimaginable price.
As for breaking through the shackles and becoming an immortal immortal, it is like a dream-like existence and has never been heard of for thousands of years.
"Over the years, it is not that no one has made breakthroughs in cultivation and reached the Taiqing realm or even higher realms. However, according to my investigation, these people have all disappeared or died inexplicably later."
Yiyi Xian's eyes flashed, "So I guess that there is some kind of power monitoring this world all the time. When someone's cultivation reaches a certain critical point, they will be directly wiped out by the mysterious power."
Song Xing suddenly realized, "So, senior, you have been deliberately pretending to be of low cultivation and hiding your name all these years just to protect yourself and secretly investigate the truth?"
At this point, he frowned: "Senior, when you talk about the critical point of cultivation, does it mean the cultivation of Taiqing Realm?"
Doesn't that mean that he is also being targeted by the 'Tiandao' in this world at this moment?
"Senior, since the human race has reached the Taiqing realm and will be on the list of 'Heavenly Way', why can the beast monsters in the southern border break through the barrier of immortality?"
Since Yiyi Xian has lived for so many years and traveled all over the country in these years, he must know the deeds of the beast god in southern Xinjiang, so Song Xing asked him directly.
Yiyi Xian indeed knew about the Beast God, but he shook his head and said: "Although that monster can be immortal, it is still far from true immortality. It is just that the witches in southern Xinjiang stole the sky and exchanged the sun, collected the most ferocious energy from the world, and injected it into their own. It's just a ray of consciousness. Strictly speaking, it's not life at all, nor is it the immortality we seek."
"In this world, the only one who can achieve 'immortality' and achieve true immortality is..." Zhou Xian suddenly stopped.
"Only what?" Song Xing asked nervously, feeling something vaguely.
Zhou Yixian took a deep look at Song Xing: "You don't need to know these things now. In short, you have to remember one thing. Anyone who wants to break through needs to go through many hardships. Even if you have the appearance of heaven, if you If you don’t go through all kinds of hardships, you will be reduced to a skeleton in the end.”
The tone of Zhou Yixian's words was very calm, as if he was telling a fact.
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to grab it. Song Xing suddenly felt his whole body stiffen, as if the power in his body had been imprisoned for an instant.
At this moment, he clearly noticed that there seemed to be a huge black hole slowly condensing in his body.
Facing this strange scene, Song Xing still looked indifferent and slowly raised his right hand.
In an instant, a dark whirlpool appeared in the void, like a devil's cave that swallowed all things.
The power that Yi Xian had just injected into his body was absorbed directly into the vortex and disappeared without a trace.
Yiyi Xian retracted his arm and murmured: "Heaven is ruthless, but human beings are sentimental. It's a pity that the more sentimental people's hearts are, the more chaotic the heaven will be."
At this point, he muttered something softly.
Song Xing said calmly: "So, senior, when you have been traveling around the world these years, you are actually looking for that ray of secret that can help you break through?"
Immortal Zhou Yi smiled slightly and said: "This world is in chaos. Patriarch Qingyun and Zhenren Qingye have reached the heavens, but they still can't understand it. My talent is not as good as the two of them, so I can only find another way. If I wait until I reach the higher realm of Taiqing, I can't understand it." At this time, if we encounter the obstacles of heaven again and can only rely on brute force to resist, it will be troublesome."
When Song Xing heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "Senior, in these years of enlightenment, have you ever broken this secret?"
Zhou Yixian laughed and said: "I want to break this secret, but unfortunately, I don't have the strength! The secret of this world is too obscure. It not only limits the monk's power, but also limits the speed of cultivation. It is worse than a curse. hateful."
Song Xing was silent for a while and continued to ask: "So you deliberately approached Zhang Xiaofan for the secret?"
"Because he has potential." Zhouxian Xian said seriously: "I saw that his luck was soaring. He was the chosen one and was destined to me, so I appeared around him and wanted to observe him."
"The chosen son is destined to be the senior?" Song Xing snorted coldly: "If the senior is really destined to him, why did the senior never show up when he went through the disaster?"
"That's because the disaster was too terrifying. Not to mention you ordinary ants, even immortals and gods would be shattered to pieces if they were not careful. If I helped, I might get burned." Yiyi Xian explained: "Besides, at that time My cultivation has not yet reached its peak.”
"The world of this world has a special suppressive effect on us monks. If we intervene rashly, we may be struck by thunder and not end well."
Song Xing nodded to express his understanding.
Zhou Yixian continued: "The Heavenly Dao in this world has noticed me. Not long ago, it sent down a divine punishment and tentatively attacked me, but I defused it. If your formation hadn't been able to block the Heavenly Dao's induction in a short period of time, I wouldn't have been able to. I’ll tell you so much.”
