Chapter 318 Turnip Flower

Luo Xuanyi was completely unaware of the chaos in the outside world. At this moment, she was being hidden by Long Yue in an unknown low mountain near the Zhongqu Mountains, devoting herself to comprehending the strange Taoism.

Until the stone door appeared in Luo Xuanyi's heart and a gap opened, she only relied on her own exploration to practice the strange way, and the concept of the way was vague in her mind.

But at this moment, she stood in front of the stone gate, and tiny Taoist aura overflowed from the gap, gradually forming a stream, gently combing her soul and ghost fire.

Luo Xuanyi never understood why strange cultivators were also divided into six levels like ordinary cultivators, but there was no clear division between the levels, and her cultivation strength was even more vague.

Only now did Luo Xuanyi realize that these six levels of realm were not the same as the six levels of realm for cultivators.

Simply put, the six realms of a cultivator refer to a transformation of power, while the six realms of a cunning cultivator are about enlightenment. The six realms of Hungry Ghost, Resentful Ghost, Red Ghost, Fiendish Ghost, Ghost Heart, and Ghost King are the tower spirit's translation of the cunning cultivator's methods into those of a cultivator. The correct name should be the six realms of Hunger, Laziness, Greed, Killing, Love, and Power. There's no hierarchy between these realms, so naturally, there's no overt sense of transformation in power.

Guidao believes that these six desires are a scourge to the Dao, and all desires that emanate from them are sins that practitioners of the Dao must not commit and must be completely eradicated. Each realm is a test of desire. Only by passing all tests and completely severing one's desires can one achieve perfection.

With each desire she severed, Luo Xuanyi's path to perfection in the Way of Deception widened a little. Her resonance with the Way of Deception grew, and her power and knowledge expanded as well. But the test of severing desire was no easy task.

For example, Luo Xuanyi was prone to hunger when she was in the hungry ghost realm. This was the most basic temptation and not even a test. However, because Luo Xuanyi was very sensitive to hunger, she ate the living souls of Hao Fei and others, and thus failed to cut off her desire.

After this failure, she temporarily entered the next level of the trial: the Desire of Laziness. However, Luo Xuanyi never allowed herself to rest, and before the Desire of Laziness even had time to begin, it was already completed unnoticed. It was during this time that Luo Xuanyi's strength expanded to the early stages of the Void Refinement Realm.

And now, Luo Xuanyi was entering the Trial of Greed. Greed not only symbolizes greed for tangible things, but its extension also extends to intangible desires, including Luo Xuanyi's thirst for knowledge and her desire to explore the truth. Her recent rethinking had been triggered by the Trial, and now she was on the verge of failure.

While seemingly simpler than the Six Paths Realm cultivators, Luo Xuanyi felt the Six Desires were far too demanding. If she said even one more word, she might violate the Desire to Speak, causing her to fail the trial.

But having a clear direction for cultivation was better than groping aimlessly in circles. If Luo Xuanyi had always considered increasing her strength as a prerequisite for cultivation in the treacherous way, she would probably have been stuck in circles forever.

Luo Xuanyi stared at the stone door in her body. She always had a feeling that once the stone door was fully opened, she would be able to see the gate to the ghost world.

She should have entered the ghost world before, but she had no memory of it at all. This really made her curious about what was in the ghost world.

No, I can't think about this anymore. Luo Xuanyi forcibly pulled her gaze away from the stone gate. Now, if she wanted to survive the trial of greed, she had to learn to empty her mind.

It's a bit difficult, but at least control yourself and don't talk. First, get through the Greed Trial.

Now that the concept of the ghost world has been released, such a large movement will inevitably alert cultivators from all sides. Luo Xuanyi must quickly improve her strength, otherwise the enemies she encounters will only become stronger.

Luo Xuanyi calmed down and opened her eyes, only to find that her eyes and body were covered with weeds. For a moment, she was confused and didn't know what was going on.

Through the gaps in the weeds, she suddenly saw something moving. It was Longyue's forelimbs. Longyue was holding a large pile of weeds that she had just dug out of the ground and was trying to pile them on herself.

It seemed as if he wanted to hide Luo Xuanyi's figure.

Luo Xuanyi was at a loss for words. The cultivator used his spiritual sense to sense the pile of weeds, but it was useless.

Although I doubted that it had been with Huzhe and the skinny dog for so long that its intelligence had been assimilated, this was still a token of Longyue's kindness.

Luo Xuanyi stood up easily, and the loose weeds on her body fell off. Long Yue was startled at first, but then happily came to her.

Patting the weeds on her sleeves, Luo Xuanyi reached out and gently rubbed Longyue's eyelids with the back of her hand. She held back her words of praise and took out two bottles of Linghuan Powder to replenish its spiritual power.

Looking around, Luo Xuanyi immediately understood why Longyue had tried to cover her with weeds. This hill was so low, practically a dirt slope, with virtually no gullies, trees, or rocks blocking the way. Although surrounded by high mountains, it was considered hidden unless she went inside, but that also meant that if she went inside the mountains, Luo Xuanyi would be visible at a glance.

We need to change the location quickly and refine a few more formation flags. Luo Xuanyi made a decision immediately, but it was too late.

"Found it."

Luo Xuanyi subconsciously looked up into the sky, but saw no trace of the cultivator.

A monk walked slowly down the hillside, with a shaved head and a string of golden Buddhist beads hanging in front of him. His red robe was decorated with gold flakes all over his body. When it was shone in the sunlight, it shone dimly like the legendary Buddha's light.

Luo Xuanyi was dazzled by the light, and then she remembered the story in "Nan Yi Hua of Zhong Qu" about the gold-loving Buddhist monks in the Mahāyāna Temple and the Buddhist country of Ran.

The low mountain she was currently on was within the territory of Ran Country. However, Luo Xuanyi was unaware that the six alliances had already informed the three major sects about her. She had assumed that the Buddhist cultivators had come to investigate the changes in the Zhongqu Mountains.

But when she heard the Buddhist say that he had found it, she felt something was wrong.

The Buddhist monk muttered something Luo Xuanyi had never heard before, clasped his hands together and bowed to her, smiling and saying, "My humble name is Wu Qinghua, and I practice Buddhism. Are you the Gui Xuanyi from outside the domain?"

Wu Qinghua smiled and took out two golden hammers weighing more than a thousand pounds from his back: "If it is Xuanyi, I, the humble monk, will follow my Buddha and save her."

?

Luo Xuanyi looked at Wu Qinghua, momentarily unable to comprehend what he had said. But Wu Qinghua was already chanting "Wansheng Dazizai" as she swung her hammer at him.
