Soon after, in the void deep in the wild forest, the figures of a human monk and three monsters appeared. It seemed that both sides were wary, so they distanced themselves.
Below the void is a canyon filled with clouds and mist. Jining's purple-eyed spiritual eye flashed across his face. After a few breaths, a look of surprise appeared on his face. The original spiritual eye did not see anything special. Except for a rather large pool of water in the canyon below, There is nothing else.
But since they brought themselves here, it means that there must be something fishy about the deep pool below. Then three seventh-level monsters quickly headed down the canyon, so Jining followed.
Standing on the grass beside the deep pool, Jining said nothing. He knew that the other party would definitely explain the situation. At this time, the phantom fox turned to Jining and said: "When the moon is full in the sky, the afterglow of the moon is scattered in the deep pool, and strange scenes will appear here!"
Jining nodded without saying a word, so both parties found a place to wait for the full moon to rise.
…
As night falls, a full moon slowly rises, and with the appearance of the full moon, the deep pool begins to fill with clouds and mist.
When the moon reached its zenith, a strange scene appeared in the clouds and mist of the deep pool. A tree with brilliant silvery branches and leaves stands looming in the clouds and mist, with several golden fruits swaying gently among the silvery branches and leaves.
"Immortal Yuanling Fruit Tree? Illusion?" Jining said secretly, the scene in front of him was too weird, it was like an illusion but not like an illusion.
If it was an illusion, this illusion was too real, because he vaguely smelled a hint of fairy spirit that had never been seen in Kunyun Continent. He had only felt this kind of breath in the Kunwu Secret Realm and the Nine Heavens Linglong Tower Secret Realm.
When the three demonic beasts saw any of the glowing fairy trees, they all looked intoxicated, and then they turned into a line of green light and quickly moved towards the clouds and mist.
Jining saw that there seemed to be a world between the three seventh-level monsters and the fairy tree. A few breaths later, after trying unsuccessfully to approach the fairy tree, the figures of the three monsters returned to their previous standing position with a depressed look on their faces.
They turned to look at the human monk with a hint of hope in their eyes. They knew that the human monk was extremely talented and could not be matched by the demon clan. They now all hope that this human monk can break the illusion and reach the fairy tree.
When Jining saw what had just happened, he thought of a story recorded in the Prajna Sutra: "Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand..."
Jining looked quietly at the fairy tree in front of him, knowing in his heart that what he saw might not necessarily be true, and at the same time, it might not be false either. Only by seeing through this false state of emptiness can you find the true result.
Since the sight, hearing, and smell of the five aggregates are not available, and since everything seen and heard is not real, Jining raised the corners of his mouth slightly and waved his hand, and several mysterious runes appeared in the void.
Then a magical scene appeared. These runes condensed by spiritual power flashed and disappeared into the clouds.
The three monster beasts were shocked when they saw this scene. They did not expect that the human monk's runes actually entered the space of the Fairy Tree. Although they only stayed for a moment, since his runes were able to get close to the Fairy Tree , which also shows which space and place he can get close to.
They turned their heads and looked at Jining with hopeful eyes, but when they saw the face of the human monk suddenly became serious, the phantom fox couldn't help it, and asked with a pious look: "Master Ji, what did you find?"
Jining retracted his gaze and looked back at the three monsters and said: "You guys should not make any decisions about this secret realm. If you enter that secret realm, maybe the land of Dongzhou will no longer exist."
The three monster beasts were extremely surprised after hearing this, but they knew that there must be a reason for what the human monk said.
"What you all see is just the mirror image of that secret space. That secret space is real and is close to Dongzhou. Ji guessed which secret space is the place where the ancestors of the demon clan are sealed, and which plant The Fairy Tree is the formation of the sealed land. When the Fairy Tree disappears, it is also the time when the seal is broken. When the Demon Clan Saint Ancestor appears, not to mention the land of Dongzhou and perhaps the entire Kunyun Continent, will also become The place where he vents his anger." Jining said slowly.
It turned out that Jining used some space runes to get close to the secret realm, and he found that the space with rich fairy spirit actually contained a strange aura.
Jining had encountered this strange aura before, and it was what he had seen in the secret realm of Liusu Mountain. And this weird aura made Jining feel even more powerful. Just this weird aura thousands of miles away from him actually made him feel vaguely pressured.
This also shows how powerful the sealed demons are.
After hearing this, the seventh-level demon tiger said coldly: "It seems that your Excellency intends to monopolize the things in the secret realm, and you actually used these words to deceive me. You humans are so shameful!"
After hearing this, Jining gave the black tiger monster a cold look and said: "Ji Mou persuaded me nicely, but I still don't believe it. It's just that Ji Mou persuades me again, if you enter the secret realm, you won't be able to come out alive."
Then Jining moved and flew away into the distance, leaving behind three monsters looking at each other. The crystal light monster looked at the phantom fox and said, "Master Fox, do you think what the human monk said is true or false?"
The phantom fox sighed and said: "Regardless of whether it is true or not, without his help, you and I would not be able to find the entrance. Now you and I can only see if this illusion still exists. If the illusion is not there in the future, what does it say about this person?" He lied to us, if the illusion is still there, it means that what he said may be true."
Then the Phantom Fox sighed and said: "We had too many ideas back then, thinking that we would gain more benefits by entering that secret realm, so we did not make an agreement with him on the distribution of treasures. If we had made an agreement on the distribution of treasures with him at that time, we could have let him The inner demon swore, no matter what, he would not dare to go back on his word."
The crystal light monster and the black tiger have always admired the phantom fox's intelligence, although they didn't seem to understand what it just said.
As the full moon disappeared in the void, the water surface of the deep pool returned to its original state again. The three monster beasts slowly walked away into the distance with their heads downcast.
…
He looked at the boundless endless sea below with an unfazed expression. Originally, he could use the teleportation array of the large sect to return to the Central Continent, but he thought that he might never appear in the East Continent after leaving during this trip. So walking through the Endless Sea again can be regarded as a memory and farewell to the past years in Dongzhou.
After he realized the secret of "Swallowing the Void" that day, the time had come for him to break through to the late Nascent Soul stage.
With the end of the trip to Dongzhou, the last worries in his heart have become a thing of the past. This trip also gave Jining a little more insight into the way of spiritual practice.
The seven-star spiritual disk was flying rapidly over the endless sea. Jining looked away from Dongzhou and his expression became calmer. He understands that his relationship with Dongzhou has changed over time, things have changed and stars have moved, and all causes and conditions come into being and disappear due to the dispersion of causes and conditions. The connection between him and the land of Dongzhou has become weaker and weaker and even disappeared as time goes by.
I also lament in my heart that there are so many cultivators but they are ruthless, because everyone has their own pursuit in the vast heavenly way.
As all of this was caused by heaven, it made his heart feel calm. He activated the Seven Star Pan spiritual weapon again, and suddenly there was a sound of breaking through the air, and then the Seven Star Pan disappeared into the nearby void.
It also caused a ruckus from the monster beasts in the endless sea below...
