Chapter 47 Chapter 47 The grass and trees on earth pay tribute to the emperor, and a hundred thousand pine trees are waving...
If it was just a laugh, it would be fine. You Yue often quarreled with others, but when Bai Lu laughed at him for being illiterate, veins popped out on his forehead...
"Do you really know him?" You Yue interrupted Bai Lu's wild laughter with a dark face, "Don't laugh so hard, you are just bragging."
"He really knows him." said the spirit of the weapon. He had seen Bai Lu studying ancient techniques.
"Yes, I know these words. They are not the Sichun magic formula, but guang, yin, zuo, and chai." Bai Lu said affirmatively.
Time as firewood?
Everyone was confused for a moment.
Generally speaking, practitioners' mantras also have a summary. Many people will summarize their own practice techniques. Judging from Bai Lu's experiences in the world of immortal cultivation, they are usually written in rather pretentious classical Chinese.
If Bailu is not translated wrongly, what does "Guangyin Zuochai" mean? It's a bit confusing.
However, everyone present could be called a genius, and cultivation had never been a problem for them. At that moment, Yan Changming was already full of confidence and even couldn't wait to reach out his hand to learn the technique.
After a few breaths, Yan Changming opened his eyes, and the expectation and pride in his eyes were gone!
"Why? Is it so difficult?" You Yue looked at Yan Changming's expression and gloated.
But it did not elicit a response from Yan Changming.
Everyone else felt something was wrong and tried to find out the secret.
After a while, Ning Yanhu burst into a curse: "What the hell!!"
"Hehe, you guys don't understand it?" Bai Lu proudly connected the spell, but it was not a barrier with words. The spell magically instilled the entire knowledge into the mind.
However, Bai Lu was also dumbfounded after she realized it——
This spell was left by the ancients. The Green Emperor naturally did not design it for all races, but created it specifically for the descendants of the Wood Clan who were predestined to benefit from it.
Because most of the Wood Clan members are born without scheming, their cultivation and growth are very slow. The Sichun technique given as a reward is not the kind of technique that can lead to ascension, but a welfare technique. It has a very clever design, which is to burn one's lifespan to cultivate.
This is time as firewood.
The Wood Clan, especially the high-level Wood Clan, have a long lifespan. Even if the Wood Clan of Huanhua Island do not practice cultivation, they can easily live for tens of millions of years. For them, this spell has only benefits and no harm.
To practice the spell, you only need to consume one thousand years of your life. After completion, as long as you are below the third level, you can advance to a whole new level!
But for the cultivators present, their remaining life span is estimated to be only a few hundred to a thousand years. Even if those with a longer life span come to practice, without this thousand years, will it be enough time to break through and prolong their life? They can only wait for death.
However, if I don't practice this technique, I will be trapped here for the rest of my life! Go out and die, or die here?
All the legends since ancient times have never mentioned this detail. That's because this secret realm has been invisible to the world for countless tens of thousands of years. Those who have come here are all cultivators of the Wood Clan. For them, this is not a trouble at all and is not worth mentioning at all.
Even if he asked, he couldn't do it because he was not from the Wood Clan, but a wood spirit, and his lifespan was also limited.
Since they entered the Qingdi Secret Realm, they have encountered blessings and disasters at each level. There are even many seemingly harmless environments that are harmful to them, the aliens. But in the end, they can overcome the danger and are even on the verge of gaining great benefits, becoming a typical example in a storybook.
But they didn't expect that there was a shock waiting for them due to the biggest racial and time differences.
Everyone present was stunned and almost at a loss for what to do amidst the great joy and surprise.
After a long while, You Yue regained his consciousness: "No, we can't get out like this, we have to find another way...break through the realm!"
There are only two words to describe breaking through the realm. It sounds simple to say it with just the upper lip touching the lower lip...but this is the Qing Emperor's secret realm.
The fact that made everyone most excited just now has now become the biggest pressure.
They were a group of cultivators at or above the Thunder Listening Realm, and they wanted to forcibly break through the secret realm left by the Green Emperor? Wasn't this really a fantasy?
The facts before our eyes are even more devastating than the trials of the sea of suffering, and make our faces turn pale.
"When it comes to spiritual practice, you must follow the will of heaven and go against fate. You all shouldn't be so scared as to not even give it a try, right?" Pei Zhaoting's face was as gloomy as water.
"I want to get out anyway!" Bai Lu didn't know much about the seniors in this other world, so she didn't feel that much pressure. "We came in because of Brother Pei's formation. Doesn't this prove that it's useful? At least it can reveal the secret realm to others. As long as it's revealed, it's only a matter of time before my master finds us!"
Bai Lu's words made those who had just been feeling gloomy feel a flash of light in their hearts, giving rise to great hope.
That’s right, the battle between Pei Zhaoting and Yan Changming led to the secret realm. I wonder if it would be any use if they fought again?
Theoretically, the secret realm has changed again, but Bai Lu is right, this is at least a hope.
Pei Zhaoting took the opportunity to say: "Now, whether it is to break through the realm or to make the secret realm appear again, we need the strength of everyone. Are you willing to listen to my orders?"
At times like this, it is natural for the formation master to set up the formation so as to maximize the strength of everyone.
Wherever Pei Zhaoting saw it, everyone nodded, even Yan Changming nodded silently.
Pei Zhaoting sat cross-legged in meditation and began to think deeply!
…
Bai Lu had nothing to do but sit there with her chin in her hands. She couldn't concentrate on her cultivation. When she was free, her mind was filled with everything she had experienced since coming to the world of immortal cultivation. She had no intention of meditating.
Pei Zhaoting will definitely not fail in his formation...
Master will also find us.
I was in a daze in the cracks of another world, not knowing what my parents were doing.
I don’t know what Master is doing.
I wonder if the police are looking for me and posting missing person notices everywhere.
I miss Master a little bit.
Bai Lu turned over, Qiu Suo and Qi Ling both sat cross-legged beside him, or rather, Bai Lu was the only one lying down among all the people. Qiu Suo was cultivating peacefully, and for his simple mind, he probably didn't feel the fear of not being able to escape.
Instead, Bai Lu felt sad for him. Qiusuo had just started his own life, but now he was in jail here.
"Qiusuo, you are half a member of the Wood Clan. Is there nothing else you can get here? You have nothing to do anyway, why don't you look for it?" Bai Lu said sadly.
Qiu Suo Mu Mu said: "I don't know either."
"I'm always thinking about my master. I just became famous in the Red Dust Trial, but before I had the chance to show off, I ended up in here. I didn't even talk to my master about it, and I got disconnected - Qiusuo, don't look at me, it's not your fault." Bai Lu leaned against the wooden wall, with her hands behind her head, looking at the ceiling covered with vines.
The spirit of the weapon was bored and didn't understand Bai Lu at all: "It's rare to see you rely on Master so much."
"Why, aren't they familiar with their master?" Bai Lu asked curiously.
Spirit: "Uh... I don't know..."
How to answer this? The spirit of the weapon scratched his head, feeling that this was a bit beyond his understanding. He only stated what he saw on the surface.
The spirit of the weapon could not answer, so it turned to Qiusuo and said, "Don't listen to Bai Lu. What freedom are you thinking about? You can do whatever you want. It's better to be a puppet and have a master. Do you know how many people want a master but can't get one?"
Bai Lu pushed the weapon spirit away: "Ah, you are not allowed to brainwash Qiu Suo here, go away!"
The weapon spirit said dissatisfiedly: "I am doing this for his own good! I speak from the bottom of my heart!"
Bai Lu was just pushing and shoving when she saw two monks from Yujing Palace touching the giant tree and meditating with their eyes closed, as if they were starting to practice. She thought, "Hey, what are those two brothers doing?"
"People say that one should observe the stars in the sky and study the earth's networks in order to understand the method of cultivating immortals. The stars in the sky and the earth's networks correspond to each other. Observing the stars is easy for the human race, but studying the earth's networks is the strong point of the Wood Clan. Humans usually don't understand the earth's networks as deeply as the stars in the sky. After all, you can't even master the stars. The Yujing Palace's Qi gathering technique and the world's Feng Shui technique are also closely related to the earth's networks, so their study of the earth's networks is good for their practice." The spirit of the weapon has lived a long time after all, has read so many books, and can be half an AI, so he explained.
"Can we penetrate the earth network by sticking to it like this? Then we can also search for it!" Bai Lu said immediately, not telling him if she could take advantage of him.
"Hehe, if you want to practice the earth network, you can go anywhere. Moreover, you should know that this is the secret realm of the Green Emperor, so this tree is very likely the legendary Jianmu that reaches the sky and connects the earth. Following this tree, you will have the opportunity to comprehend the truth of the wood clan. It all depends on your needs and understanding. You see, the others did not move, they are not practicing this way."
For a genius, it is also important to know where to put effort.
"Then we Qiusuo will also take advantage of this!" Bai Lu urged: "Then let's come too, Qiusuo, I'll accompany you to participate."
Bai Lu and Qiusuo put their hands against the wood, trying to sink their mental power into it, looking for a path in the darkness.
Originally, he wanted to take advantage of Qiusuo together, but the wizard, who was born close to nature, gradually became immersed in it without realizing it.
At this moment, I forgot all distracting thoughts. When my heart sank, all distracting thoughts disappeared, and I seemed to be wandering along the veins of the earth.
This can be said to be the source of life and the ancestor of nature.
Bai Lu seemed to be carried and traveled underground. She looked at the mountains, rivers, and plants in the world, which shocked her mind. In an instant, she was brought closer to an extremely tiny point.
The thin roots stretching upwards are a plum tree, a sword plum.
Although I was not in Xuanshan, I seemed to see Xuanshan and Dianmei Peak.
In the past, he and his master went down from the mountain together, but now he seemed to be observing Xuanshan from another angle.
Seeing each place would bring back Bai Lu's memories of the things that happened there. Jianmei, Dangaofang, Snow Golem, Jinyutai...
Mushrooms and wild fruits in the back mountain.
Master’s hands, sleeves…
In the blink of an eye, it seemed that we were back at Liuxian Gorge, Huanhuazhou and Qinglong Town.
Everything is familiar and strange, but from another perspective they are still extremely fascinating. Unknowingly, he already has so many memories in this world.
What you are looking at is not only the geographical network, but also the mind.
Just when she was most immersed in and almost became one with this feeling, a voice suddenly woke Bai Lu up!
“Great!”
Bai Lu suddenly opened her eyes, still a little dazed.
Looking around, Pei Zhaoting, who had been concentrating on his deduction, has stood up. You Yue and others beside him are looking at his formation plate and discussing something. It was these noises that woke Bai Lu up just now.
Huh? Bai Lu said in surprise: "Brother Pei has come up with an idea so quickly? That's amazing."
Ning Yanhu looked at him and said, "Is it fast? It's been two months already."
"What?! Two months!" Bai Lu screamed in shock. His mind was completely immersed in the earth network. He clearly felt that only two minutes had passed at most. How could it be two months?
Ning Yanhu then realized that he didn't know this, "You didn't feel anything? You've been in meditation for two months, didn't you know?"
"How should I know? I've never been in a state of meditation for so long!" Bai Lu screamed.
I never expected that this would actually happen two months ago.
Two months. At first, Bai Lu thought that this was the time he couldn't accept being separated from his master. Oh my god, he was more like a cultivator now. He could actually enter a state of meditation for such a long time.
It's just that my physical fitness hasn't quite caught up yet...
Bai Lu held onto the wall: "Wow, my legs are so sore!"
Qiusuo and Qi Ling each supported Bai Lu. Qi Ling laughed and said, "Who is the Wood Element? You are studying so hard."
"This is called immersive learning..." Bai Lu looked at Pei Zhaoting with tears in her eyes, "Brother Pei, have you performed the formation well?"
During these two months, Pei Zhaoting had also performed the formation well, and he had just discussed it with everyone and confirmed that it was correct.
It gives people hope.
During this period of time, other people have also tried other methods, whether it is to break through the realm or to communicate with the outside world, but no one has succeeded. Now it is time to try Pei Zhaoting's formation together.
"My fellow Taoists, please." Pei Zhaoting pointed out to them one by one which direction they should go. The eight people in the outer layer followed the five elements combination that everyone practiced and the eight trigrams. The middle layer corresponded to Nan Dou, and the three people in the inner layer were the main commanders.
In addition, the positions had to be adjusted on time, and everyone rehearsed and confirmed that everything was correct.
Pei Zhaoting operated the formation. The power of those who formed the formation was guided by the main formation. The five elements of spiritual energy of the practitioners standing in the outer Bagua position circulated endlessly, and finally gathered in the middle like a whirlpool, and when passing through the middle layer, it gathered the power of the stars that they attracted.
"The three elements return to their origin, and the stars break through the boundaries!"
The formation was like the center of a vortex, causing the energy of the entire secret realm to spin, making the sky and earth dark, and the ancient trees seemed to be shaken -
With a loud bang!
The world sparkled for a moment.
Bai Lu slowly adapted and opened her eyes, only to find that nothing in front of her had changed.
Dead silence.
Everyone looked around in confusion. The huge movement just now seemed like a dream. They used up almost all their spiritual power, but there was no change in the center of the formation or the surrounding world. It was no longer like the translucent state that appeared when they came in.
They thought they had gathered all their strength into one attack, but it was nothing to this secret realm.
This is the secret realm left behind by the ancient powerful beings.
In fact, it is even more unrealistic to have the desire to break through this state.
"well……"
I don't know who sighed.
"It's over. We can't break the formation even with all our strength! Moreover, this realm is hidden in the ground network. It's hard to find us from the outside. Even if we find them, who can break the Green Emperor's realm!" A cultivator collapsed, the hope in his heart shattered once again, and he could not hold on any longer.
"My master is still outside. He will definitely save us." Bai Lu said, staring at the sky.
"Bai Lu, you have to know that this is the secret realm left by the Green Emperor..." Ning Yanhu bitterly repeated this key point that everyone knew. This time, even she could not comfort Bai Lu.
Even though my uncle's swordsmanship has reached perfection, it is still a problem to find this place, otherwise it would not have been hidden for tens of thousands of years and no one would have come in.
They have come all the way here, and just now, they have all witnessed the power of the Qing Emperor's Secret Realm. These are the five ancient emperors, the saints who have attained enlightenment.
The spirit of the weapon said in a daze: "Will you all die in the end and I will be the only one here?"
In terms of lifespan, the spirits of the weapons here are probably the longest-lived.
The others felt even worse after hearing this.
"There must be some other way, right?" Bai Lu lowered her head.
"It's okay," the weapon spirit comforted him, "Another advantage of this place is that there is plenty of spiritual energy. You still have a choice, which is to practice here until you ascend to heaven."
Bai Lu: “…”
Everyone: “…”
"There are still some," Yan Changming said with a gloomy face. He looked around and said, "There are at least five people here, with a lifespan of more than a thousand years. As long as one of them is selected to practice this method, the others can go out."
No one spoke.
Sacrifice one person?
This is indeed a solution. In fact, it was not only Yan Changming who thought of it. He had thought of it long before the formation, but he chose to say it at this time. After all, who to sacrifice is a big problem.
But what Yan Changming pointed out clearly was the fact that the only solution now seemed to be to find someone, whether willingly or not, to practice the technique.
Unconsciously, everyone stood further apart, each with mixed emotions - no one wanted to bear the thought of their companions becoming the burning firewood, but they were also afraid that they would be the ones to burn.
"Then, why not draw lots?" someone said.
You Yue's idea was even more evil: "Hey Yan Changming, you burned your lifespan once during the competition, you should be familiar with it, why don't you do it, and I'll set up a temple for you after we get out..."
Yan Changming: “…”
Yan Changming cursed and said, "Why don't we have a fight? If you lose, you can practice. After you get out, I will help you find a magic weapon to prolong your life."
A group of people were arguing and when they were getting excited, they suddenly felt a slight vibration. They thought it was an illusion, but when everyone looked at each other, they realized that they were not the only ones who felt it.
It's really shaking.
This secret place was vibrating, just like... just like it had been when they entered.
The noise stopped for a moment, and then a flash of light appeared in the sky!
"What's this?!"
"Lightning? It doesn't look like it's in Thundercloud Canyon. It's somewhere higher."
Since they came in, there has been no other natural landscape here.
Everyone is still trying to make their own decision.
Bai Lu, who was standing by, suddenly shouted in surprise, "It's the sword light!"
What a shocking statement.
Sword light? Where did the sword light come from?
While others were still confused and hadn't reacted yet, Bai Lu said firmly, "It's my master's sword. He's here."
He recognized the existence he was most familiar with and missed from the sword light, which made his nose sore, his heart excited, and he couldn't help but smile, with mixed feelings.
He had never doubted that his master would come to find him, but why did his eyes still feel hot at this moment?
Ning Yanhu was dumbfounded: "How come Master Uncle's soul... No, Master Uncle came from Xuanshan?!"
Only then did the others realize that it was actually the Sword Master who came in person from Xuanshan thousands of miles away.
They didn't know when Sword Master came to Huanhua Island, and how long he had been searching outside before finding the whereabouts of the secret realm! But everyone knew the power of this secret realm, so it was conceivable that Sword Master must have spent a lot of effort.
Everyone knew why Sword Master did this, it was all for his disciple.
No one could have imagined that Huo Xuexiang could actually find the Green Emperor's secret realm again from the earth network, which was tantamount to the resurrection of hope.
But the sword light soon disappeared again.
Everyone looked at the sky stupidly, not knowing what was going on.
After a long while, there was a flash of light on the other side. It seemed that the Sword Master was also trying to find a way to break through.
"We also need to give our Master some response in there!" Bai Lu jumped up and said.
Even if they can't break it, at least make some noise to let Huo Xuexiang know their location.
Everyone looked at each other, gathered together again, and formed the formation arranged by Pei Zhaoting.
The three elements return to their origin, and the stars break the boundaries!
All their spiritual power had been used before but failed to create much waves. Now, even though they were excited and tried their best, the rhythm of the sword light in the sky did not seem to change, as if it had not received their message.
This was repeated several times until no spiritual power could be exerted.
Bai Lu's spiritual power and magic power were also used up, and she couldn't help but shout: "What a broken secret realm!!"
Qiusuo looked at him, not knowing how to comfort him. He could only recite what he knew as he did before: "This is the secret realm of the Green Emperor. It inherits the secrets left by the ancient Green Emperor and is passed down by the cultivators of the Wood Clan. If you can reach the Sun Position, you will be granted..."
Bai Lu felt itchy on his hand, and when he looked down, he saw that it was the small flower growing on his wrist. There was a lot of vitality there, and it was still in full bloom. His master even said that he would help him pick it off after he got out.
"It would be great if I were really from the Wood Clan." Bai Lu pressed the ground, and occasionally hooked the Earth Network with her spiritual power. "Being a tree is actually quite good. There are Wood Networks and Earth Networks. It looks quiet, but in fact I don't know how happy I am, and I can live a long life. This broken secret realm has existed for so long, and it's still so lush..."
The sword light in the sky seemed like a sign of hope and despair, which made the monks wonder, what if it faded away in the end? What if it gave up?
But they really could no longer muster any strength.
Wait! Bai Lu, who was sitting paralyzed, suddenly stood up again.
Ning Yanhu leaned against the wooden wall and looked at him, crying: "Come again? I really don't have the strength anymore..."
"No." Bai Lu turned around, her face somewhat similar to Huo Xuexiang's calmness, "I have an idea."
The sword light that he hadn't seen for a long time was like an urging and a call. In his eager desire to meet, he suddenly had an idea.
Bai Lu stretched out his hand, and the little flower was swaying. He understood why this was not a gift from the Green Emperor. It gave him the same experience as the Wood Clan, and thus a deeper understanding of the Earth Network. "The Wood Clan relies most on the Earth Network, just like when we look at the stars, if the stars are yang, the Earth Network is yin, and both embody the energy of life..."
This plain statement made everyone wonder what he was trying to express.
Bai Lu is not from the Wood Clan and has not practiced the Si Chun magic, but he did comprehend the Earth Network for two months. At this time, the inspiration finally came to him and he had a bold idea.
He moved his open hand, and a broom suddenly flew into his hand, which he held firmly.
Then, Bai Lu looked at the spirit of the weapon: "Spirit of the weapon, come and try it!"
The weapon spirit looked at him in shock, not understanding what he meant, but couldn't help but tremble a little, as if it had a premonition of what was going to happen, "W-what?"
Bai Lu's face was calm and she said clearly, "Merge with my broom."
"Are you crazy? You don't want your magic weapon anymore, right?" The weapon spirit wanted to curse a few more times, but was stared at by Bai Lu's sharp green eyes and gradually dared not say a word. This reminded him of the way Bai Lu beat him for the first time.
What kind of magical instrument is this... let me merge...
The spirit of the weapon walked silently to the side of the broom.
Ning Yanhu's breathing gradually became a little faster, and Pei Zhaoting also seemed to have sensed something. They were all disciples of Xuanshan. At this moment, they were shocked at what Bai Lu wanted to do, but they were also a little trembling because of his self-confidence. After all, he had done many seemingly impossible things, and had many amazing ideas that others rarely had.
Others seemed to have guessed Bai Lu’s peculiar thinking. Is this... okay?
"Come on." Bai Lu said.
The spirit of the weapon was confused, yet also a little inexplicably excited, and threw itself into the broom made of plum wood.
The moment he threw himself into the water, the precious light reappeared, and the huge force was about to crush the body that carried it -
Bai Lu held the broom, driving the branches at the end of the broom to grow wildly, like a dragon's claws, penetrating the soil in an instant and connecting with the ground like the roots of a giant tree. According to the owner's understanding, they were almost integrated into the earth.
Then, that huge amount of energy was like a bolt of lightning encountering a Faraday cage, flowing along the branches and leaves into the ground!
People look at the stars in the sky, but often forget that the earth's network that they can touch every day provides the final destination for the huge energy in the sky.
The plants face the sun and share the pulse with the earth. For thousands of years, the earth has been dissipating all the majestic energy.
The spirit of the weapon is a peerless weapon, and it carries with it a strange vision when it is born. However, because its power is too full and nothing can bear it, it brings punishment from heaven, and the body of the weapon shatters and dies halfway.
What if the network that carries it is vast enough to contain all power?
Bai Lu comprehended the earth's network and boldly used the body of a broom to connect to the earth's network and merge with the spirit of the tool.
The spirit of the weapon regenerated, and this time, all its majestic power bloomed and flowed along the ground, reaching every corner of the secret realm. Countless ancient trees, flowers and plants trembled, and then... disappeared into thin air!
"The spirit of the weapon... has merged!" Ning Yanhu's pupils shrank and he said in horror.
It turns out that there really is a way to carry the spirit of an object in this world!
Under everyone's shocked gaze, Bai Lu climbed onto the broom, her figure as light as the wind, and she flew to the limit of the Sky Secret Realm in an instant. Wherever she passed, the treetops swayed and the grass and trees bowed, as if they were saluting.
Ning Yanhu once saw the name of the weapon spirit in the sect records that it did not want to be made public. It was given to it by its maker, who hoped that it would become the most respected weapon among all weapons after it was born. Hence the name: Chaotianzi!
At this moment, with the help of the Green Emperor's legacy, the power of heaven's punishment is eliminated. All the plants and trees on earth pay homage to the emperor, and a hundred thousand pine waves serve as battle robes.
This strange broom magic weapon, with the earth network downloaded, drew an arc in the air, in which the spirit of the weapon released its energy wantonly, with unprecedented pleasure, connecting with the essence of countless plants and trees, and the entire secret realm was covered with dense roots as if formed by light.
The whole world seemed to be turned upside down, and the sky was as straight as the ground.
The sword light from the outside world also paused for a moment, as if it sensed this strange, unworldly power that should only be possessed by one person. Then, it encountered this familiar power——
In an instant, the roots broke through the entire secret realm, broken!
