Chapter 425: Above Enlightenment is the Great Dao, and above the Great Dao... No One Knows

High in the sky, Lu Chen looked down at the series of consequences caused by the sloppy swordsman killing the evil dragon, and immediately fell into deep thought.

At first he thought that what the Immortal Gu Yue asked him to see was his experiences before he became an immortal.

But now it seems that things are much more complicated than I thought.

There is no need to think too much about the identity of the sloppy swordsman.

Although the other person's appearance is unkempt.

But his face is 90% similar to that of Gu Yue Zhenxian.

It is almost certain that he is the reincarnation of the Immortal Gu Yue.

But the key to the matter does not lie in the identity of this sloppy swordsman.

But it is the impact it caused and the series of changes that followed.

Lu Chen vaguely understood the meaning that Immortal Gu Yue wanted to convey to him through this action.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen asked, "Does the True Immortal mean that if we allow this mortal barrier to continue to accumulate, even the Thirty-Three Heavens will experience something similar?"

Gu Yue Zhenxian did not answer directly, but said meaningfully: "Whether such a situation will also occur in the world of immortal cultivation, I think you should know better than me, right?"

Lu Chen was silent for a moment, and he had the answer in his mind.

Combined with the current situation in reality, Lu Chen did vaguely see the trend of reality developing towards the ancient Nine Realms.

Previously, Lu Chen only thought that the four forbidden areas around the real world were the result of the fusion of the ancient nine realms and the real world.

It has nothing to do with the laws of nature in the real world itself.

It is a battle between the laws of nature in two worlds.

But after knowing the existence of this kind of 'mortal barrier'.

Lu Chen vaguely felt that he had figured out the relationship between immortals and mortals.

And why the Immortal Alliance cares so much about mortals.

The number of mortals will certainly determine the concentration of spiritual power in the world where the monks live.

But compared to the Immortal Alliance's astonishing restrictions on cultivators and its preferential treatment of mortals.

Lu Chen always felt that there must be a relationship between cultivators and mortals that he was unaware of.

And now what the Immortal Gu Yue let him see was.

is the answer to this question.

Mortal obstacles, a special kind of "miasma" composed of mortal karma.

Normally, this kind of miasma rarely occurs.

But once a large number of mortals die in "resentment", the mortal miasma will tend to double.

Although some mortal obstacles will not have any impact on the way of heaven.

But as long as these mortal obstacles accumulate to a certain extent, the way of heaven will gradually be distorted by this miasma until it falls into madness.

There seems to be only one way to solve this problem.

That is to try not to let mortals die suddenly.

Or we can come up with a way to reduce these karmas and prevent them from affecting the way of heaven.

Almost at the same time as he thought of this, the concept of "the underworld" emerged in Lu Chen's mind.

Because the existence of the underworld is a disguised way of giving people "rewards and punishments".

In a sense, it is a kind of insurance against the karma of mortals.

But whether in the world of immortal cultivation in the game or in Zhongzhou in the real world, Lu Chen has not seen the existence of anything like the underworld.

As a result, the karma accumulated by mortals over such a long period of time must have reached an alarming level.

Lu Chen even thought about the inhuman actions of the ancient sect, which might be intended to further catalyze the karma of mortals between heaven and earth.

This has nothing to do with their personal will, but is the distorted instinct of the Nine Realms' Heavenly Dao.

Because when the Nine Realms' Heavenly Dao was distorted, the karma of mortals became the source of His power.

The more mortals who die violently, the more powerful He becomes.

Otherwise, He will become weaker.

But now the Nine Realms Heavenly Dao has already taken shape.

Trying to solve the problem by weakening the other party's karma is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

After knowing these key points of the mortal barrier, many things that had never been explained before slowly surfaced.

For example, Lu Chen had been curious before.

The reincarnation of immortals is something that has existed since ancient times.

This is because the true spirit of the immortal is extraordinary and difficult to erase by ordinary means, so it can continue to reincarnate and be reborn.

But what about the souls of mortals? How are mortal souls born and how do they disappear? Where do mortal souls go after they die?

All of this was something Lu Chen had never known before.

And at that time in the description of other people in the game copy.

After the war between the two worlds, the immortals seemed to have found a way to create a complete cycle of reincarnation from the ancients.

At first, Lu Chen just thought that this so-called reincarnation was to help the immortals reincarnate faster and recover to their heyday faster after reincarnation.

But now it seems that the so-called complete cycle may be much more complicated than I thought.

This may also include the reincarnation system of mortals.

But there must have been some unexpected changes in the process, or some necessary conditions were missing.

As a result, the reincarnation system in the real world was ultimately not fully established.

At least Lu Chen had not heard anything about reincarnation in the real world.

But there is one thing that has been affecting reality since the war between the two worlds.

That is, the way monks treat mortals has completely changed.

You should know that in the current world of immortal cultivation, only the Qingyun Sect is the most friendly to mortals.

The remaining righteous sects would not do anything evil like killing mortals or practicing martial arts.

However, it is not uncommon to see people who think highly of themselves and do not care about the lives of ordinary people.

It can even be said that Qingyun Sect is a true anomaly and a rare existence in the entire world of immortal cultivation.

As he thought about it, Lu Chen felt that the appearance of Qingyun Sect was more and more strange.

After all, even though Qingyun Sect's founder, Immortal Qingyun, had a good attitude towards mortals, he made his descendants abide by his rules.

But if there is no benefit, or if the job is not very difficult, how many people can persist?

But Qingyun Sect not only has always maintained such rules, but also has maintained them very well.

This is undoubtedly the result of many generations of patient work.

Would an immortal really go to such lengths for a mortal? Considering the scene that Gu Yue Zhenxian had shown him, Lu Chen looked at him with a strange look in his eyes.

Gu Yue Zhenxian did not intend to hide it, and smiled and said, "Daoyou is right. In addition to Gu Yue Zhenxian and the Nine Realms Sword Ancestor, my other identity is the ancestor of your Qingyun Sect, Qingyun Supreme Immortal."

"In fact, I thought you would have thought of this earlier. After all, even if you were extraordinary at that time, you should have thought that a true immortal would not easily give his essence and blood to a junior who only had a little talent."

"There must be some specific cause and effect involved."

"And your most important identity at that time was not that of a disciple of Qingyun Sect?"

In response to this, Lu Chen smiled helplessly.

If these words of Gu Yue Zhenxian were applied to any normal disciple of Qing Yun Sect, perhaps they would still be applicable.

But it doesn't work for him.

After all, Lu Chen himself knows his own situation.

The so-called identity of a disciple of the Qingyun Sect is nothing special in front of his mysterious little game.

The first reason he thought of that the Immortal Gu Yue was willing to help him must be that he was actually cultivating immortality in the game, and not that he was a disciple of the Qingyun Sect.

However, after knowing the identity of Gu Yue Zhenxian, Lu Chen simply took this opportunity to ask more questions about the confusion in his heart.

“I wonder if the purpose of the True Immortal in establishing the Qingyun Sect was because of this mortal obstacle?”

Immortal Gu Yue nodded, and then began to talk about the reason for establishing the Qingyun Sect.

"My dear friend, you should know that what I originally founded was not the Qingyun Sect, but the Yun Sect of the Thirty-Three Heavens."

"Because my idea at the time was very simple. Since too many mortal deaths would affect the way of heaven, I would start with the immortals and change their views on mortals little by little."

“So I decided to create the Yun Sect, and wanted to use it to radiate to other immortals and even other worlds.”

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

“But I soon found out that I was wrong.”

“Although many of the immortals in the thirty-three heavens have cultivated to immortality from the mortal stage, there are also many who are born immortals.”

"It is possible for the former to treat mortals kindly, but the latter simply does not consider themselves the same as mortals."

"After all, in terms of personality, those innate immortals are the ones closest to the personality of the Great Dao. They are asexual and emotionless, and are not burdened by external things."

"And it's also not easy to change the minds of those acquired immortals."

"Because those who can cultivate to become immortals must have great perseverance and great opportunities. These people's ideas have long been formed and are difficult to change."

"Even if I force them with my True Immortal status, it will be difficult for them to willingly do what I tell them to do."

"Besides, I can suppress them temporarily, but I can't suppress them forever."

"Especially when there are other immortals in the Thirty-Three Heavens."

“So, I came up with the idea of ​​changing the world’s perception of mortals, starting from the mortal stage.”

"The Qingyun Sect was born in such a situation."

"And you've seen the result. Compared to the high and mighty Yun Sect, the Qingyun Sect, which is now the leader of the righteous sect in the Qingyun Realm, is undoubtedly more in line with my ideas."

"Although I really want Qingyun Sect to appear in other worlds, the remaining worlds are the territories of other True Immortals. I have no right to interfere."

"As for the reason why I built the Qingyun Sect, I believe you have figured it out."

"There is only one reason, and that is that I don't want the Thirty-Three Heavens to end up like the Nine Realms."

"After all, I can't guarantee that I can use the Three Corpses Method to escape the bondage of the Heavenly Dao next time."

"Just one catastrophe destroyed my ten thousand years of hard training. It took me tens of thousands of years to recover my training."

"But even if you are a true immortal, how many tens of thousands of years can you have? How many times can you escape from a catastrophe unscathed?"

"Besides that, another reason why I do so much is guilt."

Guilt...

Hearing these two words, Lu Chen frowned instantly.

Because he didn't have to think too much to guess the reason why Gu Yue Zhenxian felt guilty.

If what he thought was correct, the reason why the Nine Realms came into contact with the Thirty-Three Heavens was because of the Immortal Gu Yue.

The Nine Realms Heavenly Dao found the Thirty-Three Heavens through the existence of the Immortal Gu Yue.

But this matter is already an established fact, whether right or wrong, it is difficult to change.

But there was one thing Lu Chen didn't understand.

And he simply asked.

"Since you, the True Immortal, have long known about the existence of the Nine Realms, why didn't you tell the other Immortals so that they could be on guard?"

In response, Gu Yue Zhenxian said helplessly: "How can you think that Zhenxians know nothing about the Nine Realms?"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Chen's heart was suddenly filled with turbulent waves.

Because the meaning of the words needs no further explanation.

The True Immortal Gu Yue had actually told other True Immortals about the existence of the Nine Realms a long time ago, but for some purpose, the other True Immortals did not tell this information to other immortals, and even intended to secretly promote a war between the two realms.

This also reminded Lu Chen of the words that suddenly appeared in his ears when he first entered the Great Wilderness Tower and obtained the Sword of Immortality.

'Don't believe in immortals.'

At that time, Lu Chen thought the other party was saying "Don't trust him".

But now it seems that the other party just wants me to be careful of the immortal.

But this creates more problems.

For example, the Nine Realms and the Thirty-Three Heavens are clearly two extremes.

For what purpose did the immortals deliberately promote the war between the two worlds?

Gu Yue Zhenxian looked at Lu Chen, who had a frown on his face, and saw the doubts in his heart at a glance.

He explained: "My friend, you can't figure out the reason. That's because you haven't understood what the True Immortals really want."

"Based on your current experience, I believe you also understand the meaning of enlightenment and immortality."

"And above enlightenment is the Great Dao, which is the realm that true immortals like me are in."

"But at this point, it is the end of all true immortals."

“Although there are three thousand great ways, there are infinite small ways.”

"To fully comprehend a great path, even a True Immortal would need at least ten thousand years."

"It is said that if someone can fully comprehend the Three Thousand Great Ways, they can set foot on that great way."

"But to comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos is almost impossible."

"So after learning about the ancients' ability to rob others of their avenues, some True Immortals naturally came up with other ideas."

"I should understand what I'm saying, little friend."

After hearing these words, Lu Chen felt as if he had glimpsed the secret hidden in the sky.

Above enlightenment is the Great Way, and above the Great Way... no one knows.

In order to set foot on that great road, those true immortals were willing to bet the entire world.

Don't they know the risks involved?

No, they know very well.

But compared to the seemingly insignificant way of seizing the sky, there is already some hope.

It undoubtedly seems bright to comprehend the Three Thousand Great Daos by oneself, but in reality it is a long way off.

But this would undoubtedly make things very complicated.

Because this means that a war between the two worlds is about to break out, and it is not a unilateral result of the Nine Worlds.

But it can be promoted by the immortals on both sides.

Not to mention solving the problem himself, it is unknown whether he can survive this terrifying vortex.

Fortunately, not all true immortals are cold-blooded and heartless.

As he was thinking, Lu Chen seemed to have thought of something and asked, "The True Immortal said before that he wanted the Three Corpses Method to get rid of the shackles of the Nine Realms Heavenly Dao. I wonder what this Three Corpses Method is?"
