Chapter 299: Immortal Shadow, Confucianism, and the Secret of the Demon-Suppressing World (asking fo
Shi Tian had the most delicious vegetarian meal he had ever had in his life in the Mochen Sect.
It made him feel that he had lived in vain for countless years.
What he had eaten before was all garbage!
Not to mention Shi Tian, even Li Xiuchang and others enjoyed the meal.
Li Xiuchang didn't expect that all vegetarian dishes could be so delicious.
After having a good meal, Li Xiuchang and his brothers and sisters gathered around Shi Tian and started "chatting".
On the surface, it was just chatting, but in fact, the purpose was very clear.
They all saw that although Shi Tian might be similar to them in strength, his identity was mysterious, his background was not small, and he knew many secrets that they didn't know.
Although everyone tried to make their insinuations "unnoticeable", how could Shi Tian not hear it?
However, with such a warm hospitality, Shi Tian felt that if he didn't spit out some real things, his Tao heart would be unstable when he returned.
There was no way, moral people would always be kidnapped.
He coughed lightly and said, "Thank you for your hospitality. I know you have many questions. You may as well speak directly. If I can answer them, I will answer them. If I can't answer them, I will also speak directly. I just hope you don't make it difficult for me."
Shi Tian admits that he is not a good speaker, mainly because monks do not tell lies.
So it is better to speak frankly.
Zhang Wanzhi chuckled: "Brother Shi Tian is really a straightforward person. Then I will speak directly. I want to know... What is Xianyin?"
Li Xiuchang was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi would ask this question first.
Shi Tian didn't even know whether he had been to the Xianyin world. Did he know what Xianyin was?
However, Shi Tian's face changed slightly, and he said, "Donor Zhang, let's change the question."
Zhang Wanzhi didn't want to give up, and asked, "Can't you reveal anything?"
Shi Tian was silent for a few breaths, and then he said carefully, "The formation of Xianyin involves too much, and it can't be explained in a few words. Many of the secrets are unknown to me, and even if I know them, I can't reveal them."
Zhang Wanzhi sighed and didn't ask any more questions.
Li Xiuchang asked what he was interested in: "Brother Shi Tian, do you know why Confucianism and Taoism were cut off overnight?"
Shi Tian's face changed again, and he said, "I can't say."
He said "can't say", not "don't know"!
Several brothers and sisters looked at each other. It seems that this monk really knows a lot of secrets!
These ancient secrets are actually clear.
Chen Changsheng asked, "Master, do you know the existence of the 'Demon Suppression Realm'?"
Shi Tian looked at Chen Changsheng in surprise and nodded.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Why is there no spiritual energy in the Demon Realm? What exactly are the monsters there?"
Shi Tian shook his head: "I can't say."
Xia Sijun was dissatisfied, her eyebrows were raised, her slender eyes narrowed, and she said bluntly: "I asked you three questions, and you can't say anything, so what can you say?"
Shi Tian looked embarrassed and couldn't refute.
Zhang Wanzhi hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Old Xia, Brother Shi Tian is our honored guest, how can you be unreasonable? We agreed in advance that we will never embarrass Brother Shi Tian if he can't say it."
"But..." Zhang Wanzhi looked at Shi Tian again, with an embarrassed look on his face, "Brother Shi Tian, you also know that when we reach this level of cultivation, all the things that we care about are the top secrets in the world. If these are not convenient to say, Brother Shi Tian doesn't have to force it. Just think that we are abrupt, don't blame us."
Zhang Wanzhi's move of retreating to advance is obvious, but also very useful.
Shi Tian smiled bitterly and said, "Don't you have any other questions?"
Lu Yang smiled and said, "I think we shouldn't ask anymore. Master Shi Tian, just pick out some things you can tell us."
Shi Tian thought for a few breaths before saying, "I can't answer the three questions you just asked, Xianyin, Confucianism, and the Demon-Suppressing Realm, but I can tell you some details."
Li Xiuchang and others were all excited: "Master, please speak."
Shi Tian said, "First of all, Xianyin, Xianyin is actually connected to another world."
Li Xiuchang was surprised. They all knew that Xianyin was dangerous, but they had never heard of it connecting to other worlds.
So, is it possible that those who entered Xianyin and disappeared went to another world?
Li Xiuchang looked up and found that he didn't see any surprised expressions on the faces of his senior brothers and sisters, but they were all thoughtful.
"What kind of world is that?" Zhang Wanzhi asked, "Can people survive there?"
Shi Tian shook his head: "I haven't been to that world either, so I can't answer you, but whether you can survive depends on your strength and luck."
Shi Tian paused and continued: "The next thing is the severance of Confucianism and Taoism. I can only say very little about this matter. I can only tell you that the origin of Confucianism and Taoism has been completely destroyed, so Confucianism and Taoism cannot be revived again."
The origin was destroyed... No one was surprised by this answer.
It seems that only this can explain it.
And when traveling in the origin world, it seems that no one has seen the origin of Confucianism and Taoism.
"Finally, about the Demon Suppression Realm." Shi Tian shook his head and said, "The Demon Suppression Realm seals a terrifying thing, and the spiritual energy will only help that thing to revive, so don't think about improving the environment of the Demon Suppression Realm."
Shi Tian didn't say it clearly, but the meaning was already very clear.
The Demon Suppression Realm seals a terrifying existence. If there is spiritual energy, it will revive that terrifying existence.
So someone drained the spiritual energy of the Demon Suppression Realm?
Or maybe they deliberately chose the Demon-Suppressing Realm, a world without spiritual energy, to seal that horrific existence.
It’s just hard for the people living in the Demon Suppression Realm. In a world without spiritual energy and unable to practice, they have to fight against special monsters.
In the past, they could practice Confucianism and Taoism and still fight against them.
But when Confucianism and Taoism were cut off, the people lost all hope.
There is even reason to suspect that the appearance of monsters is likely related to the terrifying existence sealed in the Demon Suppression Realm.
“Thank you Master Shi Tian for clearing up my doubts.” Lu Yang said politely.
Although Shi Tian seemed to have only revealed a little bit of information, in fact, combined with their own reasoning and speculation, they have been able to restore a lot of truth.
In other words, Shi Tian has given the results of their three questions, but he didn’t tell them the cause and process.
Why did Xianyin form?
Why was the origin of Confucianism and Taoism destroyed?
Who sealed the terrifying existence in the Demon Suppression Realm? Where did that terrifying existence come from?
These causes and processes are all secrets that Shi Tian cannot tell.
Shi Tian stood up and said, "Everyone, if there is nothing else, I should leave."
He felt that he had revealed enough, and was on the verge of being punished by his master, and he finally felt relieved.
Chen Changsheng hurriedly said, "There is one last question. I wonder which world Master Shi Tian is from? How can he freely travel between worlds?"
This reminded Zhang Wanzhi, and he quickly agreed, "Yes, Brother Shi Tian and I hit it off at first sight, but I still don't know where Brother Shi Tian is from. How can I contact you in the future?"
It's rare to have someone who knows so many secrets, so we must not cut off contact!
If you can't get all the wool at once, you can get it in batches for a long time.
Shi Tian did not avoid this question and answered directly, "I am from the upper world."
"Upper world? Which upper world? Chaos Star Realm?"
Even the neighboring brothers and sisters don't know much about the sixth world on the upper level.
So far, they have only been to the Chaos Star Realm and the Tianhuang Realm.
Shi Tian shook his head: "A world higher than the Chaos Star Realm."
Li Xiuchang and several of his senior brothers and sisters all had their pupils tremble.
The legendary seventh world!
It turns out that the seventh world really exists!
Even with the cultivation of the neighboring senior brothers, they still cannot ascend to the seventh world after going to the sixth world.
And they have never seen or heard of anyone ascending to the seventh world.
So all along, they have never been sure whether the seventh world exists.
But now, they have seen a person from the seventh world alive!
"In the seventh world, what realm can be ascended?" Motu asked.
It seems that Shi Tian is not much stronger than them, why can Shi Tian go to the seventh world?
"The seventh world is not ascended by ascending."
Shi Tian only said this sentence, without much explanation, let alone how to go to the seventh world.
But everyone present understood that since he could not ascend, it was nothing more than passing through a channel or a teleportation array, or someone above "pulling" him up.
"Then how did Brother Shi Tian manage to transfer the wooden fish from Wanshan Realm to Pure Land Realm in just a moment?" Zhang Wanzhi asked.
It took only a few minutes from the time when the big wooden fish left Wanshan Realm to when Shi Tian appeared in Pure Land Realm with the big wooden fish.
Moreover, there is no upper realm in Pure Land Realm, and there is no passage from the upper realm to Pure Land Realm.
When Shi Tian appeared, there was no spiritual fluctuation of ascension, and it was obvious that he did not come to Pure Land Realm through ascension.
Shi Tian explained: "The world I am in has direct passages to many worlds, so I can go to many worlds very quickly."
Finally, Shi Tian took out a palm-sized small wooden fish and gave it to Zhang Wanzhi.
"If Brother Zhang wants to contact me, you can use this."
Zhang Wanzhi played with the small wooden fish and figured out its purpose in a moment. It was probably equivalent to a magic weapon for long-distance sound transmission.
"Everyone, see you again if we are lucky."
Shi Tian put his hands together and nodded gently to everyone.
Then he flew straight into the sky and disappeared into the clouds.
No one could see how he disappeared or where he went.
Li Xiuchang and the others were silent for a moment, and Lu Yang smiled softly, "It can be considered a lot of gains."
Chen Changsheng nodded: "Although Shi Tian revealed not much information, it also solved many of my doubts."
Mo Tu said: "The exploration of the Demon Suppression Realm needs to be more careful."
Before, they were curious about what happened in the Demon Suppression Realm, but now they have learned a general idea from Shi Tian.
The Demon Suppression Realm seals a terrifying existence, and their casual exploration may not be a good thing.
The thing that can be called a terrifying existence by Shi Tian is enough to threaten any of them. If the seal is accidentally touched during the exploration, the terrifying existence is released, which may bring disaster.
Chen Changsheng said: "In the future exploration of the Demon Suppression Realm, my main direction will be to gather the remaining people and provide them with protection, or to build a large number of teleportation arrays to send them out of the Demon Suppression Realm."
...
Li Xiuchang was not in a hurry to leave the Dark Heaven Realm. Since he was here, he asked Brother Mo Tu to help him improve the last four refinements of "Nine Refinements of Demon Corpses".
Modifying such a top-level magic skill is not a matter of a day or two. Before Senior Brother Motu finished his work, Li Xiuchang temporarily stayed in the Mochen Sect.
He released Su Qingchun and the Paw Patrol and began to teach them the "Great Dream Sutra".
Shi Tian and the little monk did not say that this Buddhist secret method could not be passed on to others.
The Dream Pill can only be used to comprehend the Buddhist way, so it cannot be used by ghosts, but the "Great Dream Sutra" has no restrictions.
After the ghosts reach the fifth level, they must start to focus on enlightenment, so this "Great Dream Sutra" can help them increase their efficiency several times.
Let the ghosts recite Buddhist scriptures, this scene is also quite inconsistent.
For a while, the sound of ghosts reciting scriptures was everywhere in Li Xiuchang's mansion.
Of course, Jinjiao was no exception. He was caught by Li Xiuchang to practice Buddhist scriptures.
However, it couldn't make any sound, so it just had to recite silently in its heart.
Leaving a group of younger brothers to recite scriptures in the house, Li Xiuchang led a group of ghost employees to go out to open up wasteland.
In Xianchen Sect, because the area of the medicinal field is limited, Li Xiuchang has to plan the planting of spiritual plants.
So that he wants to practice the spiritual planting skills well, but he is limited by the area of the medicinal field.
But in the Dark Heaven Realm, in the Demon Dust Sect, there is unlimited land for him to cultivate and plant!
The Demon Dust Sect is now the well-deserved master of the Dark Heaven Realm. As the deputy leader of the Demon Dust Sect, Li Xiuchang can be said to be in power and has a prominent status.
How big a medicinal field you want is just a matter of words.
He reclaimed a thousand-acre medicinal field near the Mochen Sect!
He also set up a formation and arranged a large number of ghost employees to take care of the medicinal field.
Now he has enough ghost employees, and many ghosts have no work to do, so he can be considered to have created jobs.
With this thousand-acre medicinal field in hand, it is more convenient for Li Xiuchang to practice the art of spiritual plant cultivation.
He bought a large number of high-level spiritual plant seeds through the Four Immortals Chamber of Commerce, and planted a few acres of land in the medicinal field when he was bored.
Li Xiuchang's talent for spiritual plants is very exaggerated, and there are masters like Brother Motu to teach him. Logically, the level of spiritual plant skills should be far behind other skills.
But now he has been caught up by the art of refining.
The main reason is that the medicinal field is insufficient, so he can't practice freely.
With this thousand-acre fertile field, he can practice freely, and his spiritual plant skills have improved significantly and rapidly.
With a lot of practice, he will naturally find a lot of problems and have a lot of questions.
And he can get professional answers to these questions immediately from Brother Motu.
When Li Xiuchang was tired of farming, he would go to Senior Brother Luyang for a meal.
According to Senior Brother Luyang and Senior Sister Xia, the development of the situation in all aspects of the Dark Heaven Realm has stabilized. During this time in the Dark Heaven Realm, they have helped to train a large number of alchemists and spirit cooks.
Spiritual food and elixirs are the best choices to help cultivators improve their cultivation. With a large number of spirit cooks and alchemists, the overall strength of the Dark Heaven Realm will increase more rapidly.
Craftsmen play a vital role in the development of a cultivation civilization.
When the Dark Heaven Realm was ruled by the five major demon sects, the development of various crafts was relatively backward. Only a few mainstream crafts were still developing, but they were inseparable from the means of drawing blood and refining souls.
Therefore, Senior Brother Motu was also determined to abolish the previous dross skills and use the inheritance of the hundred arts of cultivation in the Immortal Shade Realm to train a group of excellent craftsmen in the Dark Heaven Realm.
Luyang and Xia Sijun were responsible for training spirit cooks and alchemists, and Motu himself trained a large number of spirit plant husbands.
Next, Lu Yang and Xia Sijun's mission has been completed. They will return to Xianchen Sect first, and replace Zhang Wanzhi and Chen Changsheng's clones to train weapon refiners and array masters for the Dark Heaven Realm.
As for the talisman master... after careful consideration, Motu decided not to rush to train.
The talisman production capacity of Xianyin Realm is oversupplied, and it is completely possible to buy the talismans of Xianyin Realm at a low price and sell them in the Dark Heaven Realm.
It is obviously not worthwhile to spend energy to train talisman masters for cheap talismans.
Moreover, as a ruler, he has to look far ahead. Once the people of Xianyin Realm really migrate to the Dark Heaven Realm one day in the future, a large number of talisman masters from Xianyin Realm will pour into the Dark Heaven Realm, which will seriously impact the talisman market of the Dark Heaven Realm!
Therefore, training the talisman masters of the Dark Heaven Realm now will harm them.
How can the talisman masters who grew up in the greenhouse face the talisman masters who raised Gu in Xianyin Realm?
In the future, they will definitely be swept away by the talisman masters of Xianyin Realm!
…
In a blink of an eye, Li Xiuchang has been in the Demon Dust Sect for a month.
Senior Brother Lu Yang and Senior Sister Xia Sijun have left the Dark Sky Realm and returned to the Immortal Dust Sect.
Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi and Senior Brother Chen Changsheng's clones took over and brought Li Xiuchang's two clones with them.
In addition, the clone of the little turtle Wenwen also came with him, saying that he was going to let it assist in teaching.
This made Li Xiuchang sweat for the future formation masters of the Dark Sky Realm. Under the influence of Wenwen, a group of formation masters with biased subjects will inevitably be born in the future.
Wenwen came to see Li Xiuchang this time and his attitude was much more friendly. It turned out that several big monks from the Pure Land Realm finally found the Divine Turtle Realm and were helping it to clean up the demon cultivators.
However, it was still a little dissatisfied: "Why are there only so many monks?"
Li Xiuchang spread his hands and looked innocent: "I have begged them to send more people over. I guess they are short of manpower."
The reason why the little turtle agreed to come to assist in teaching this time was because he wanted to get some fresh air.
It was not so anxious to be able to wander around the Dark Sky Realm. It could accept the slow progress of the Divine Turtle Realm in clearing the demon cultivators.
When Wenwen arrived, he dragged Li Xiuchang to take it out to play, but Li Xiuchang had a lot of things to do, so he didn't have the time, so he simply let Jinjiao take it out to wander around.
Just a few days ago, Senior Brother Motu finally helped Li Xiuchang revise the complete "Nine Refinings of Demon Corpses".
Li Xiuchang is now one person and two clones are not enough.
The blood diamond clone continues to use "Nine Refinings of Demon Corpses" to strengthen itself.
The second soul clone uses "The Great Dream Sutra" and the Dream Pill to double-enter the dream to comprehend the equal way.
Li Xiuchang's main body was busy farming and practicing other skills.
At this stage, Li Xiuchang mainly wanted to prioritize obtaining more length values.
Therefore, he temporarily focused on improving his skills on the two fifth-level skills of spiritual planting and refining.
These two skills have the highest level and the most length can be obtained by improving them.
With his current cultivation level, the sixth level of body refining and the middle stage of Qi refining and transformation, it is enough to support his skill level to reach the sixth or even seventh level.
But Li Xiuchang found that his most proficient skill was only the fifth level.
There are many similarities between the hundreds of skills in cultivating immortals. After one skill is profound, improving the related skills will be twice the result with half the effort.
For example, alchemy and spiritual cooking, refining and puppetry, soul control and beast control, etc., all have many similarities.
Therefore, Li Xiuchang also adjusted his thinking of making all his skills go hand in hand.
He decided to focus on improving two of them first, and upgrade them to his trump card skills, so that the strong first will drive the strong later, and drive the improvement of other skills.
Naturally, he chose the two skills of spiritual plant cultivation and weapon refining.
He had a great talent for spiritual plant cultivation, and there were a lot of medicinal fields in the Dark Sky Realm where he could practice freely.
As for weapon refining, Senior Brother Zhang Wanzhi happened to be here, so he could often go to Senior Brother Zhang for lessons and study.
In the blink of an eye, another month had passed...
Li Xiuchang calculated the time, and it was exactly the tenth year of his cultivation.
He could not help but sigh that time flies. After ten years of cultivation, he went to heaven and earth, fought against demons and monsters, and experienced thousands of sails. Looking back... It turned out that he was only twenty-seven years old.
It was also on this day that his life magic weapon Zanpakutō was finally promoted to a spiritual treasure!
It was very rare for a normal spiritual cultivator to cultivate a life magic weapon of the spiritual treasure level with the cultivation of the spirit transformation. It was even more of a miracle for Li Xiuchang, who had practiced for a total of ten years.
But in order to improve the grade of Zanpakutō, Li Xiuchang had melted countless precious materials into it.
The Zanpakuto upgraded to a lower-grade spiritual treasure can borrow the power of heaven and earth to increase its own power by 10% like other lower-grade spiritual treasures.
The difference is that the Zanpakuto absorbs a large amount of the mist, allowing it to borrow some of the power of heaven and earth when it is in the magic weapon stage.
Now the strengthening effect of the mist, superimposed on the borrowing effect of the lower-grade spiritual treasure itself, allows the Zanpakuto to borrow more than 20% of the power of heaven and earth!
In other words, Li Xiuchang can get an additional 20% power bonus when using the Zanpakuto.
This is equivalent to the innate spiritual treasure of the same level!
In addition, the Zanpakuto is Li Xiuchang's natal spiritual treasure, and the cultivator has a power blessing when using the natal spiritual treasure...
"The power of the Zanpakuto in my hand is now stronger than the innate spiritual treasure of the same level!"
"The key is that this is not the limit, and it can continue to absorb the mist!"
Li Xiuchang truly felt the perversion of the mist.
It's a pity that this thing is a bit insufficient.
Even though he had invested a lot of length in the second dantian space before, the space was still not big enough, and the produced condensed energy was limited, which was barely enough to feed the Zanpakuto.
Li Xiuchang's other core condensed energy, the Rainbow Soul Banner, has now been upgraded to a mid-grade condensed energy, which can itself gain a 20% power increase.
But there is no more condensed energy to feed.
Li Xiuchang focused on improving the two skills of spiritual plants and refining this time, just to accumulate more length values, further expand the second dantian space, and increase the output of condensed energy.
It is also possible to directly add some condensed energy, but it is not as cost-effective as adding some second dantian space.
Li Xiuchang continued to concentrate on improving the skills of spiritual plants and refining until two months later, when his two senior brothers Zhang Wanzhi and Chen Changsheng came to him together.
"Xiu Chang, we have new neighbors in Donggeng District."
Li Xiu Chang was stunned for a moment after hearing the news: "Are there any senior brothers and sisters I don't know?"
Chen Changsheng shook his head: "We don't know the people who came this time either."
