Chapter 358: The Origin of Taoism Wen Huaiyu came out and immediately spit out...
As soon as Wen Huaiyu came out, he spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes became dilated, and he almost died of exhaustion.
Venerable Yunxiu waved his hand, and the sword formation dissipated immediately. Several pills slipped into Wen Huaiyu's soul body. With a surge of spiritual power, they instantly dispersed and turned into pure energy to nourish Wen Huaiyu's soul.
He gradually regained consciousness, and thinking of the previous scenes, he could not help but clasp his fists in shame, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Wei and Fellow Daoist Xu, for coming to help me!"
Wei Mubai nodded slightly, "Are you okay?"
Wen Huaiyu shook his head slightly. "I was so bloodthirsty that I almost lost my mind."
"Alright, learn from your mistakes," said Venerable Yunxiu, equally competitive back then. He waved his hand dismissively. "I see you've already grasped some level of Mahayana swordsmanship. This time, I'm going to use you as the center of the formation to keep all the Mirage Tribe out. Can you hold your own?"
Wen Huaiyu nodded firmly, "Your Excellency, please take action."
"Then remember, you are the formation's only weakness. Only by killing you can we enter. If the Mirage Clan's shadows intend to disrupt our plan, they will rush to attack you one after another. Hold on! Kill all the Mirage Clan! The shadows won't die, but with each death, their energy will decrease, and the speed of re-condensation and recovery will become slower and slower. In the later stages, it will become easier and easier, so in the early stages, there is no need to hold back, just kill everyone!"
Venerable Yunxiu said solemnly, "If you can't do it, and you die, even if you can return to the real world, this experience will become a permanent demon in your heart!"
"I understand!" Wen Huaiyu slowly raised his sword, his eyes determined. "Friend Wei, your sword formation was very interesting, but it wasn't powerful enough. Please try this sword of mine. I call it 'Demon Slayer'!"
The long sword cut through the sky, bringing up a brilliant sword light, soaring into the sky, and then suddenly chopped down, making a sharp whistling sound. The sword light was like a dragon, sweeping in all directions.
When the sword fell, the whole world fell silent.
Then, a slight wave was heard, and those shadows, bright or dark, disappeared instantly like dew at the moment of sunrise, without leaving even a trace.
There was a flash of surprise in Wei Mubai's eyes, such a strong murderous aura!
She couldn't help but look at Venerable Yunxiu. She wasn't surprised, nor did she have the slightest intention of persuading him. Seeing Wei Mubai looking over, she couldn't help but smile. "Your Wei family values gentlemanly conduct and dispelling inner demons. My Wen family is different. Since we've already given birth to the demon of killing, let's kill to our heart's content, until the sky is dark and the earth is dark. Then we can directly comprehend the true meaning of the way of killing and completely get rid of the killing heart. How do you think?"
Wei Mubai, "Senior...great advice!"
But doing so is obviously not in line with the rules of the cultivation world. If you target spiritual beasts, you will commit too many sins of killing and fighting, and will eventually be abandoned by the immortals. Will you become a demon?
Wen Huaiyu is lucky to have found this shadow world, a way of killing that does not require him to bear the consequences of killing, and because everything happens for a reason, he does not have to bear the psychological burden.
He could see that Wen Huaiyu was kind-hearted, strong-willed and just.
The two Venerables Yunxiu actually directly inspired his murderer, which was really... wild.
Venerable Yunxiu smiled and said, "You guys are just too restrained. You always use various rules to bind yourselves and take on too much... You are really asking for trouble."
Wei Mubai smiled bitterly, knowing that she was referring to his feelings for Xu Hui.
It’s not that he intends to take on anything or carry anything, but he doesn’t even have the memory, so how can he dare to make promises easily.
What if... he had let Xu Hui down, so she broke off the engagement regardless.
Wei Mubai didn't want Xu Hui to be forced to be with him without any memory or choice.
I don't want her to struggle and suffer on the ruthless path, so let everything... just take its course.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Venerable Yunxiu curled his lips. All the men in the Wei family are the same.
As for that guy Wei Jiangli, she told him not to worry too much and just live a carefree life. The worst that could happen was that he wouldn't become an immortal.
In the end, he refused to agree to anything and thought it was for her own good.
Does she need it?
"Alright, alright, there's no point in talking to you about this." The Wei family members were still stubborn and determined not to repent, so there was no need to waste words.
"I already have an idea of the formation this time. I plan to use a triple formation. The first one will be a character test, allowing the Mirage Clan and my own shadow to undergo character training."
She has discovered that the Mirage Clan, unable to become immortals, does things as they please, and does whatever they want. However... it seems that their brains are not good enough, and they lack long-term vision and planning.
This causes them to only focus on immediate interests and feelings. The so-called responsibility, inheritance, and contribution to the world, I wouldn’t say there is none at all... but there is a little bit, really just a little bit.
In fact, she had always been very curious about why the Heavenly Dao created a race that could not ascend. It was useless for the world's advancement, and it was a pity to throw it away.
After observing for a period of time, she finally figured it out. It wasn't that Heaven didn't allow it, but that they hadn't made any contribution that was beneficial to Heaven, which led to extraordinary difficulties.
In fact, Shen Ao is a living example. If the way of heaven really does not allow it, Shen Ao will not exist.
Therefore, the Heavenly Dao gave birth to the Mirage Clan probably to allow them to embark on the path of transforming into dragons and ascending to heaven.
Unfortunately, they have been living in seclusion on the seabed for too long, resulting in no contribution to the advancement of the world. As a result, their luck is getting worse and worse, and it is naturally extremely difficult for them to transform into dragons!
Shen Ao Shi was a man of great perseverance. Despite all kinds of unfavorable conditions, he succeeded in transforming into a dragon.
He tore open a gap. If the Mirage Clan is willing to work hard, follow his method, and continue to open the gap, the Mirage Clan's luck will become stronger and stronger, and it will become easier and easier to ascend.
Here we have to mention the human race, the demon race and the monster race, because they made special contributions when the world was promoted to the Thousand Realms.
The human race's genius successfully comprehended the heaven and earth and created the first method of cultivating immortals.
After special enlightenment, the demon race gave birth to the spirit race, and they quickly grew into a race.
The demon race unlocked the blood inheritance and continuously gave birth to geniuses who could be reborn with souls and bones, thus opening up a path for the demon race.
The demons are even more outrageous. They live in the abyss of the demonic realm and rely on devouring, killing, and continuous reproduction to turn the entire tribe into a behemoth, providing conditions for the strong to devour them and producing countless demons.
Apart from these three races and the special elves, there are no other powerful races in this middle thousand worlds.
It is said that there were mermaids in the past, but unfortunately they have long disappeared.
The Mirage Clan has already missed one opportunity, and this time may be the last one.
To change them, ability is important, but character is more important.
Why is it that when the Mirage Clan reaches adulthood, half of them choose shadows over entities? On the one hand, they are greedy for pleasure, on the other hand, they cannot see hope, but the main reason is that they lack the willpower.
Therefore, before they make a choice, they must temper their character!
"The second level is exchange. In the illusionary world, the original body and the shadow exchange their lives. Only after trying both can you truly know what you want. The so-called love is nothing but a false illusion. When you truly obtain it, you may regret it. But once the Mirage Clan makes a choice, there will be no more chances."
“So, we need to add some deception into this layer of the formation, so that the Mirage Tribe will think they have made their choice and can continue living.”
"This is difficult," Wei Mubai commented. "It's not a simple matter to use formations to create an illusion that can confuse the Mirage Clan."
"Yes, so I need to get the approval of Mirage Machine and use the Mirage Light Condensed Essence of the Mirage Clan's number one illusionist to set up the formation!" said Venerable Yunxiu.
She is the only one who broke the limit of lifespan and lived to be 1,600 years old.
If she used her sixteen mirage marrows to form a formation, no cub would be able to escape.
"So Venerable Jiangli went to persuade her physically?" Xu Hui raised her eyebrows.
Venerable Yunxiu smiled and said nothing. No matter what method he used, Jiang Li would definitely find a way to return with sixteen Mirage Light Marrows.
Venerable Yunxiu is so confident. After all, he used every possible means to win her over, didn’t he?
"The third level is the tempering of understanding. The Mirage Clan is different from humans. The moment they reach adulthood, they have already reached the peak of their strength and can explore themselves and their cultivation methods. They must forge their own path and find the path to immortality. Otherwise, even if the formation we set up is useful, it will only solve the problem of their offspring's inheritance, rather than truly achieving immortality."
"There are essential differences between the human race and the mirage race. We cannot teach them the human cultivation techniques, as it would be useless to them. So they can only rely on themselves to explore little by little."
"Every member of the Mirage Clan who reaches adulthood, whether they become a physical body or a shadow, will need to cultivate. So, they should first be confined within the formation to comprehend the cultivation techniques. I believe that there are those who are not naturally adept at this, but there are certainly those who are. What I need to do is to engrave the cultivation techniques into their hearts, so that they will take the initiative to practice and study. That way, even if they emerge from the formation, they may become slack, but it won't be like now, where everyone only cultivates their bodies and doesn't use their brains at all. What's the point then?"
"If someone with astonishing talent can gain enlightenment within the formation, they will record the technique within the formation for every young Mirage Clan member to learn from. As more and more people gain insights into the technique within the formation, the quantitative change will lead to a qualitative change, and sooner or later, they will obtain a technique that belongs only to the Mirage Clan!"
"It may take many, many years to do this, but for the Mirage Clan, it is at least a hope!"
"But this is difficult," Xu Hui murmured, and suddenly thought of his "Analysis of Kung Fu" and the Mirage he had met before. Could it be that this was the reason why it found him?
"That's right, but this is the only solution I can think of at the moment!" Venerable Yunxiu sighed.
Xu Hui thought for a moment, then took out a jade slip and inscribed the essence of "Analysis of Dao Law" onto it. After a pause, she handed it to Venerable Yunxiu and asked, "Can this help them?"
Venerable Yunxiu took it and probed with his spiritual sense. His pupils contracted violently. "Is this... the origin of Taoism?"
"What?" Xu Hui was puzzled.
Venerable Yunxiu looked her up and down, eyes full of amazement, "You are so perceptive that you can even sense the origin of the Tao."
Xu Hui was puzzled and waited for her explanation.
