The vortex rolled deeper and deeper, and its scope became larger and larger. It was so big that Wu Sheng frequently stepped back.
Deep in the turbulent and rotating water vortex, a water column suddenly rolled up, and a skinny old man sat on the water column and emerged from the sea.
Wu Sheng stared at the old man who was described as "Ku Gao". Names flashed through his mind, and he finally settled on a certain name. He was startled and asked tentatively: "Is your Majesty the Skeleton Patriarch?"
The old man was the Skeleton Patriarch. His eyes were sunken and dark, and it was difficult to distinguish his eyes from his gaze. However, in the two dark circles, there was something inexplicable scraping back and forth on Wu Sheng's body, like a knife.
"Are you Sun Wu, the new disciple of the academy? Please sit down."
Another column of water rolled up under Wu Sheng, letting him sit on it.
Sitting opposite each other, Wu Sheng bowed and showed polite respect to the Hedao monk in front of him, and then asked: "Your Majesty, you led me to the sea, what do you want?"
The Skeleton Patriarch said: "Since you are here, it means that my ancestor's prediction is good. King Yu's godhead and void enchantment should be occupied by you. Isn't that right?"
Faced with such a master, it is logical that there is no point in hiding it, but Wu Sheng still does not follow the opponent's train of thought. Even if it is just to irritate the opponent, he will deny it: "Sun really listened to what the ancestor said. don't know."
The Skeleton Patriarch chuckled and said, "It's already here, why deny it?" The laughter was like coughing into a dry cloth, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Wu Sheng avoided the topic and asked, "Going north to the Central Plains violates the tacit agreement reached by both parties. Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to go back?"
The skeleton ancestor said: "How can this be the Central Plains? This is the East China Sea."
Wu Sheng nodded: "It seems that your Majesty has made careful preparations and is not afraid of the revenge of my academy."
The Skeleton Patriarch said: "If they come, they have come a long time ago. If they don't come now, it means they can't come. Sun Fengxing shouldn't struggle in vain. What's the point of suffering in vain?"
Wu Sheng said: "Struggle or not, we will talk about it later. Anyway, there is no escape from this disaster. I wonder if your Majesty can answer a few questions from Sun?"
The Skeleton Patriarch generously said: "Yes. Just ask, this is something you should know, otherwise it will be useless for me to capture you, and it will be a waste."
Wu Sheng frowned: "Waste?"
The Skeleton Patriarch comforted him: "Don't worry, you won't die."
Wu Sheng coughed dryly: "I was careless this time. It's already the case. There's no use regretting it. Just seize the time. It doesn't matter if you die in the morning or in the evening."
The Skeleton Patriarch said: "There are endless worlds. This world will be annihilated and reborn in the other world. The consciousness will not be destroyed and the mind will remain the same. Do you think it is life or death? You will not die and you don't have to die. There is no need to worry too much."
Wu Sheng asked: "Will my physical body be destroyed?"
The Skeleton Patriarch said: "When you reach a high level of cultivation, the physical body is no longer necessary. Destruction and immortality have nothing to do with life and death."
Wu Sheng nodded and asked again: "Your Majesty just said waste, what do you mean?"
The Skeleton Patriarch said: "You are a person who refines the void and is proficient in alchemy, so you are of great use. Only if you understand my meaning, accept my principles, and understand my ways, can you obey nature and respond to people when you enter my realm, and even more so" Perfect and harmonious.”
Wu Sheng's eyes lit up: "The realm of respect?"
The Skeleton Patriarch smiled and introduced: "My realm is the earth evil wind realm. It is nourished by the underground yin gold. I can get rid of the suffering of the mortal world. I am not subject to the disaster of heart and soul separation and hatred. I am most at ease."
Wu Sheng asked: "What will happen after entering the world?"
The Skeleton Patriarch said: "Entering our world of evil spirits and winds, apart from being carefree, you can also experience the ancient times, understand the true nature of chaotic and mysterious women, admire the peerless magic of golden immortals, and appreciate the wonderful dance of goddesses. Wouldn't it be wonderful?"
Wu Sheng retorted: "In the ancient war between immortals and gods, the prehistoric world has been shattered into pieces. The so-called golden immortal god, dead and injured, has disappeared into the void without knowing it. How can there be any prehistoric world, let alone a goddess! What do you think? Are these just to coax me into practicing my new profession and not knowing how to do things?"
The Skeleton Patriarch said: "The fragments of the ancient world are still the ancient world. If the fragments are combined, why can't we recreate the grandeur of the ancient world? The annihilation of the ancient immortals and gods is a blessing for our generation of seekers of truth and Taoism. Taking advantage of the chaos, those who come after us will prevail. It is the time for our generation to rise up again. If we wait until after the Great Desolation is complete, we will have no way out and no achievements. No one will regard you as our ancestor, so we will have no choice but to take refuge in someone else’s sect!"
Wu Sheng was fascinated by what he heard, but was brought back to reality by the last sentence: "Your Majesty has said so much, isn't it true that when I enter the realm of your Majesty, I am taking care of my disciples and have no chance of becoming an ancestor?"
The Skeleton Patriarch said: "You are a rare and extraordinary talent. If you achieve special merits after entering my realm, in the future I will be my ancestor in the ancient world and I will give you a piece of the fairy mountain and let you live freely."
Wu Sheng shook his head: "What do you mean by the Earthly Evil Yin Feng Realm? It makes you panic when you listen to it. You have no trace of your immortal spirit. How can you talk about being free? I have to deal with dead bones in the grave like you every day, and I am scared to death all day long. !”
Seeing that the Skeleton Patriarch could not be persuaded after a long time of persuasion, he did not have high expectations for this, so he began to threaten, with a serious tone: "If you think that you have King Yu's barrier in hand, you will have nothing to fear, ancestor, I advise you to think Don’t even think about it. I don’t know how King Yu’s barrier is, but your cultivation is not yet complete, and your realm is not sufficient. For example, it is like a three-year-old child dancing with a sledgehammer, and sooner or later he will smash his own foot. It is also like passing through the market with a large amount of gold in his possession, and it will be coveted by others. , there are very few people who can talk to you so kindly and heartily like our ancestors. It will be too late to regret that you will not be able to survive and die by then!"
Wu Sheng couldn't help but laugh: "The person who makes me unable to live and die, isn't it your honor? Your honor has the nerve to say anything about others? It really makes people laugh."
The Skeleton Patriarch sighed: "Since you are stubborn and stubborn, don't blame me for being so ruthless, my ancestor. I took out my soul and ground my consciousness. You can have a taste of it first!"
Wu Sheng shouted: "Wait, I still have many questions..."
The Skeleton Patriarch knew that Wu Sheng was not sincere and did not want to talk nonsense anymore, so he took action directly. He raised his fingertips slightly, and when Wu Sheng sat down, the water column suddenly split into several strands, binding him in the center, making it difficult to move at all.
Wu Sheng didn't want to move at all. He was lured to the blue sea by a dead leaf from the Skeleton Patriarch. He had already suffered a big loss. If he moved around again, he would only lose faster and more miserably - with a Hedao demon cultivators compete in treading water. Are you kidding? You don’t have to step on it at all, it blends directly with the water.
Therefore, he had already made a plan in his mind and was ready to "go with the flow". In other words, if the enemy doesn't move, I won't move; if the enemy moves, I won't move! Of course, not moving means not fighting with the Skeleton Patriarch, and not running around does not mean not resisting.
On the contrary, after eating a big mouthful of meat from the mythical beast Yoshimitsu, he became very confident in fighting with others. Isn't it true that he is in harmony with the way? Those who have fought, it’s not like they haven’t fought before!
