Chapter 717 Returning to the Valley of Immortality (Third update)
It was easy to be discovered if they flew high, so Meng Qi and the other two fled into the mountains. Half a cup of tea later, they were far away from Changshe Mountain.
Only then did Meng Qi breathe a sigh of relief. If he hadn't fought quickly and scared off the Blood Infant Venerable and the Skeleton Demon Lord, if it had been two or three breaths later, the Beast God would have arrived and joined the battle. If he hadn't spent a lot of money, he would have had a hard time escaping, let alone leaving with Xiaoru and Song Bingde.
With restraint and assistance, the weakness of the Dragon Bear Wild Beast's low intelligence will be covered up, and its strong physique and terrifying strength will be brought into full play. Every attack can cause danger to itself. However, the Blood Infant Venerable and the Skeleton Demon Lord are different from the Beast God. One of them comes from the Nine Paths of Evil Demons, with strange skills and terrible treasures, and the other is born special and will die if hit. It is impossible for me to continuously take their attacks like the Beast God with ordinary skills, and I can only do it occasionally. In this way, there are the Dragon Bear Wild Beast in front, and the Skeleton Demon Lord and the Blood Infant Venerable on the side, which is no less than a real fight against a half-master.
Moreover, the parting mother-in-law can take this opportunity to capture Song Bingde and Xiaoru to disrupt her fighting spirit.
Fortunately, I am experienced, well-planned, and the fighting intention is perfectly reflected, avoiding such a dilemma!
Xiaoru glanced at Meng Qi. Even though she was in the Southern Wilderness, she had heard of the first person in 100,000 years who had four disasters. She just didn't expect him to be so graceful and imposing, really dominating the Southern Wilderness, swallowing up like a tiger!
The speed of flight slowed down. Xiaoru glanced at Song Bingde and said to Meng Qi in a much more mature tone than before: "In fact, the immortals can't really live forever."
She seemed to be going to fulfill her promise.
"Hmm?" Meng Qi's face remained unchanged.
If the immortals can live forever so easily, why are those ancient powers still tossing?
Song Bingde was surprised: "Are they all bluffing?"
Xiaoru glanced at Song Bingde again: "Not really bluffing, at least they can live much longer than normal scenes."
She considered her words and continued: "Every time you reincarnate, your identification with your previous self will decrease by one point. After a certain number of times, when you look at the first person again, it's like a stranger. Apart from having his memories, there is no feeling of 'I am me' or 'he is me'. It's more like inheriting a 'heritage', including memories. This situation repeats itself over and over again."
"The past is not 'me', reincarnation is like death..." "Everything is born from heaven, and its soul has three, and reincarnation replaces one..." The words heard in the Past Hall of the Immortal Realm flowed in Meng Qi's heart, and he did not doubt Xiaoru's statement at all.
This should be the process of souls gradually becoming brand new after replacement. The secret method of the Immortal Clan only delays this trend, not completely resolves it.
They know that this can delay it, but they don't know why it can delay it, so they have been staying at this point!
Perhaps this secret method is not important, what is important is what it means that it can work!
Meng Qi's thoughts are mixed, and his appearance is normal. He asked casually: "How many times will it be separated from the original?"
"Tens of thousands of years ago, when our ancestors of the Immortal Clan discovered the specialness of Changshe Mountain, settled there and created secret methods after many generations, they would reincarnate about fifteen or sixteen times before "dying". In the last thousand years, after four or five times, they no longer recognized the previous "I". "When talking about this, Xiaoru sighed with a little sadness, "and the more reincarnations, the lower the upper limit of strength. The previous "I" was at the master level, which was considered upper in the clan. Now I am indeed very fast in the initial improvement, but at most I can reach the sixth heaven, and I can't step over the second level of the ladder."
"Has the Immortal Clan not produced a Dharma body in tens of thousands of years?" Meng Qi frowned slightly.
Such immortality seems to have come at a great price, but where did it come from?
The reduction in the number of reincarnations should be related to the reduction in the life span between heaven and earth, and has a certain relationship with the changes in the Peach Garden!
Xiaoru seemed melancholy and self-deprecating: "No, if you choose 'reincarnation and immortality', you will cut off the road to becoming an immortal through martial arts. Alas, based on this, we have been living in seclusion in a low profile, and have collected many treasures and skills, set up a large formation, and studied various secret methods. In the end, we still couldn't guard against thieves for a thousand days, and finally fell into the way of the Blood Sea Rakshasa. If you are not a Dharma body, you are an ant."
Her immature face had a slight sense of disobedience when she said such words, but her mature temperament resolved similar feelings.
Xiaoru lowered her eyes, as if she was sentimental. Suddenly, her voice came to Meng Qi's ears:
"This is not the biggest secret of the immortal family, but just to scare the master so that he won't suspect."
Secret method of voice transmission!
"What is the secret?" Meng Qi replied to her secretly.
Is there something wrong with Song Bingde?
Glancing over, he found that Song Bingde was listening to what he had just said with great interest.
Xiaoru's voice became low: "After discovering that reincarnation could not bring eternal life and the number of reincarnations gradually decreased, the tribesmen explored the Eternal Life Valley for thousands of years and finally found a magical place with the help of secret methods, which seemed to be between heaven and earth but not between heaven and earth."
"The destruction of the Eternal Life Valley and the Long Snake Mountain will not have any impact on it. The specialness of the Eternal Life Valley is just the change caused by its slightly dissipated breath!"
"How magical?" Meng Qi was shocked. Sure enough, there was a reason for the specialness of the Eternal Life Valley!
Everything in the world has a cause and effect!
Xiaoru's tone was confused: "I can't describe it in words. You will know when you see it. By the way, this matter must be kept secret from my master."
"Why?" Hearing her emphasize this point again, Meng Qi couldn't help but ask back.
Xiaoru pondered for a moment and said: "My master is a bit mysterious. He seems to be wretched and treacherous. His strength has always been trapped in the third heaven. But since I can remember, I have never seen him really hurt. And the matter of coming to the Valley of Eternal Life, although it was indeed me. I suggested it because of a flash of memory, but he didn't have any objection. I don't know whether to say that he loves me and believes in me, or that he has been looking forward to it. "
Meng Qi's gaze remained unchanged, and Song Bingde's appearance was reflected in his mind. He was of medium height, with ordinary facial features and a mean smile. He could even call out his father and grandfather when he encountered his own corpse. Is such a mysterious person?
"Brother Su, do you plan to continue traveling to the Southern Wilderness, or return to Dajin?" Song Bingde asked with a flattering smile.
Meng Qi said without hesitation: "A certain person has some grudge against the Blood Sea Rakshasa. Now that his identity has been exposed, he must leave Southern Wasteland as soon as possible."
"Do you have any grudge against the Blood Sea Rakshasa?" Song Bingde's eyes widened.
As expected of the Crazy Sword Su Meng, he even dared to offend the Dharma Body!
Xiao Ru also took a breath of cold air.
Confused by the chaos, Meng Qi took them and continued to escape.
At night, in a deep and secret cave, Meng Qi, Song Bingde and others were sitting cross-legged and meditating, adjusting their breath and recuperating. After dawn, both parties went their separate ways.
Suddenly, a puff of green smoke rose up from Xiao Ru's hand, which was instantly invisible and colorless, and penetrated into Song Bingde's nostrils like spiritual consciousness.
Song Bingde's breathing suddenly became heavy. He was still in trance, but it seemed that he would not wake up so easily.
Xiao Ru smiled slightly and said to Meng Qi who opened his eyes: "People in our clan can live for several lives, and there are limits to the improvement of our strength. Naturally, we have developed many secret techniques."
Meng Qi didn't say much, stood up and said, "Let's go to the Valley of Eternal Life now."
…………
The Venerable Ten Thousand Insects, whose hair resembled thin white snakes, looked at the Venerable Blood Infant and the Withered Bone Demon Lord with ruthless eyes, making them tremble.
Just when they thought they were about to receive the wrath of thunder, Lord Wan Zhong said calmly:
"Go down and get yourself ten soul-draining sticks."
The Blood Infant Venerable and the Withered Bone Demon Lord secretly breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly withdrew from the sight of the Insect Venerable. They didn't understand why the elder was so tolerant!
…………
The moon enters the silver plate, hangs high in the sky, and sprinkles on the ruins of the Valley of Eternal Life where the rock walls have collapsed and become a mess. The blood that permeates everywhere is still strong, and it becomes more monstrous and bloody under the silver gauze-like light.
Meng Qi and Xiao Ru appeared among the jagged and broken rocks. Following Xiao Ru's prompts and combined with the changes in Qi movement, they found the location where Meng Qi buried himself.
Seeing the color of blood, Meng Qi suddenly thought of the Blood Sea Rakshasa and asked casually: "Does the Blood Sea Rakshasa know that magical place?"
"I don't think he knows." Xiao Ru shook his head and said, "He came here for the secret method of reincarnation. Even if we are searching for souls, our Eternal Race still has secret methods that can hide something. As long as there is no traitor, he will not know it."
The two of them sat down cross-legged, and Xiaoru taught another auxiliary method, transmitting the sound into the secret:
"Use the two secret methods to see the picture as the sparkling light in the pond. Now we are looking for the 'water surface'!"
Picture after picture appeared, all scenes of life on earth, but no matter how hard Meng Qi searched, he could not find the so-called "water surface".
At this time, he thought about his specialness. He is a fish and a sparkling light. If you are not an angler, you should look up from the water surface!
The illusory sense went up, and when he almost came into contact with the golden fragment again, Meng Qi finally noticed the quiet and void "water surface"!
It seems to be integrated with the void. It should be said that it is a special part of the void.
Secretly practicing the secret technique, Meng Qicun thought about pushing with both hands. The water surface rippled, and a bright spot appeared in front of him, getting bigger and bigger!
It has been proven before that the Valley of Eternal Life is indeed special, but why doesn’t the Blood Clothes Religion regard it as a forbidden area? Meng Qi couldn't help but have this question in his mind.
The two of them "threw themselves in" and disappeared in place. Only the silver moonlight shone high, still shining brightly, illuminating the demonic blood.
Suddenly, a figure stood out, with a medium build and ordinary facial features. It was Song Bingde!
His smile was no longer obscene, he raised his right hand, covered his lips, and coughed lightly:
"So that's it..."
As soon as the words fell, the blood dyed in the entire Valley of Eternal Life suddenly came to life, secreting out drop by drop, flowing towards Song Bingde like water, the silver gauze shone, and it was no different from other places!
The blood flow merged into the body, and Song Bingde's aura rose rapidly. His appearance was ordinary but heart-stopping, and his pupils were stained with blood!
