Chapter 238: Mystery of Illusion
Su Qingwu had also heard similar words from the spirit of the Crystal Palace, which was the remaining consciousness of Jixuan Daojun.
Hearing it again, she couldn't help but ask:
"Senior, do you know what caused the disaster? Is there any way to avoid it?"
There was a hint of hesitation in Hongyin's eyes, as if she was cautious.
After a while, she sighed softly.
"I only have a limited understanding of this matter. Since you have been able to obtain the innate treasure and have it recognize its master, then one day you will meet that being. Then, you can ask in person."
There is only one innate treasure in the world.
Su Qingwu was very clear about this, and she began to think of what her inner demon had said to her.
If the other party did not lie to her, the Nine-Capture Soul-Snatching Scroll was also an innate treasure, so this treasure could only come from another world.
She wanted to ask Hongyin, but after hesitating for a long time, she didn't open her mouth in the end.
The stakes were high, and although this man had been kind to her up to this point, she couldn't gamble.
According to what he said, one day, he would meet the Heavenly Dao of this world. When the time comes, if there is anything he does not understand, he can just ask that person directly.
With this in mind, Su Qingwu continued to ask:
"Are you prepared to stay here in the future?"
Hongyin turned to look at her and said with a smile:
"If you allow me, I want to stay with you."
Hearing this, Su Qingwu was surprised.
Hongyin is very powerful. With her by her side, she will be able to fight even if she faces a Hedao realm master in the future.
only......
In the Li Xin illusion, after Cang Lan Di helped her defeat the besieged enemies, he never appeared again. Even after that, she looked for him deliberately but could not find any trace of him.
Why would Hongyin take the initiative to stay with her now?
After the red-dressed girl expressed her thoughts, she had been secretly paying attention to the changes in the expression of the person next to her. Seeing the confused look on his face, she couldn't help but smile and said:
"If Qingwu has any doubts, please speak up."
"I... there are some things I don't understand, but those are things that have not happened in reality. Even if I talk about them, there will be no answer."
Hearing this, Hong Yin said something startling: "Qing Wu, are you talking about the experience of the mind-dream?"
"......How did you know?"
"Do you know the origin of the test of the mind-exploring fantasy world?"
"Could it not be the result of the remaining consciousness of Jixuan Daojun in the world?"
"Yes and no."
"What do you mean?"
"Ten thousand years ago, the Supreme Daoist Master Jixuan encountered a catastrophe that destroyed his Dao. After his death, he left behind two residual thoughts. One of them merged with the spirit of the Wuji Golden Pearl, and the other fell into the remains of the palace.
Although I don’t know the specific situation, I can sense something in my heart.
The test in the Forbidden City implies the handiwork of the Heavenly Dao of this world. As for whether Ji Xuan knows about it or not, I can’t judge.”
"So, in the Realm of Limbo, those five hundred years of experience..."
"You can think of it as something that really happened in a parallel world of another dimension. It involves the laws of time and space, and it cannot be explained in just a few words."
"Senior, do you know the specific experience I had in the illusion?"
"Everything related to me can be sensed."
"In that case, I have a question. In the Lixin illusion, I was besieged by the Yuyi tribe. The tribe leader used the Canglan flute to attack me.
You helped me in return and killed all the enemies. Since then, you have never appeared again. Even though I have succeeded in my cultivation and tried to find you, I have not gained anything. Can you tell me the reason?"
Hearing this, Hongyin explained in detail:
"Because at that time, your path and your mindset were different from mine, so after helping you, I chose to leave. Later, I knew you were looking for me, and I sensed the aura of extinction in you, so I avoided you."
At this point, she added:
"At that time, I didn't know that I was in a fantasy world. You had the aura of destruction, and the ending was already determined. I couldn't achieve enlightenment, so I subconsciously chose to stay away from you.
Later, you escaped from the illusion, and I in reality had this memory, and then I realized that it was a test from heaven for you."
"I see. Thank you for clearing up my confusion."
"So now are you willing to let me follow you?"
Su Qingwu nodded with a smile and agreed to this.
Hongyin was naturally happy when she saw this.
Soon, she mentioned another matter.
"Did Qingwu come to Lingyuan Continent just to solve the mystery of the illusion?"
"That's true, but another reason is to avoid enemies on Xuantian Continent."
"Well, what are your plans next?"
"Find a quiet place where no one will disturb you, practice diligently, and achieve harmony with the Tao as soon as possible."
"Well, you are now in the early stage of Return to Void. With the Qiankun Bottle in hand, as long as you have enough high-level and high-year spiritual plants, it will not be difficult to improve your cultivation after you harvest them."
"In fact, I don't lack these spiritual plants at the moment. Instead, it takes time for the Qiankun Bottle to store spiritual water. It fills up once every seven days, so I have to wait slowly."
"After the Qiankun Bottle recognized its master, Qingwu, have you never performed any sacrifices?"
"That's right, Senior. Is there a way to speed up the condensation of spiritual water?"
"Indeed, it has. In fact, as an innate treasure, the Qiankun Bottle can store spiritual water for seven days and irrigate spiritual plants to feed their cultivation. This is only its most basic function. If it only stopped at this, how could it attract so many powerful people who have achieved the Dao?"
After these words, Hong Yin clenched her hands and formed a water mirror.
Then, a piece of ancient text slowly emerged in the mirror.
These characters are very different from today's fonts.
Su Qingwu couldn't recognize them all, but fortunately Hongyin explained them one by one.
In fact, these contents are taught by heaven.
In the Middle Ages, the Hong family was ordered by Heaven to guard the Qiankun Bottle and they knew this treasure very well.
If everything went well, they would pass on everything they knew to the owner of the treasure.
Unfortunately, that day never came, and the Medieval Age had already become history.
Su Qingwu has not had the opportunity to come into contact with the members of the Hong clan. Although the treasure has recognized its master, he has not yet completely mastered it.
Now, after listening to Hongyin's words, I have gained a lot.
Not only did he master the method of sacrifice, but he also learned the special formula to speed up the condensation of spiritual water.
The Qiankun Bottle had been staying in her sea of consciousness, but now it had been taken out and stored in her dantian.
The refining of treasures requires the help of the soul.
Su Qingwu stayed in Hongyin's hometown temporarily.
For half a month, through sacrifices and the use of special mantras, the speed of condensing the spiritual water in the Qiankun bottle was accelerated.
It used to take seven days to store enough water, but now it can be stored in two days.
Hongyin's hometown dates back to the Middle Ages, and now it has been separated from the outside world by her efforts, forming a separate space. However, for Su Qingwu, this place is a temporary place for him to stay, but not for long.
Just because I am here, my cultivation will not progress.
Even Hongyin cannot change this.
In order to preserve her hometown, she used hundreds of forbidden methods, which also caused her own vitality to be severely damaged and she fell into a long sleep.
Affected by the forbidden law, the monks here cannot advance and must go to the outside world.
