Chapter 498: Life or Sword?
The tribulations that Yuanying survived were all wind tribulations. The first wind tribulation was the wind of heaven, the fierce blazing sun. The second wind tribulation was the wind of earth, the nine netherworld yin wind that corroded the yin spirit. The third wind tribulation was the wind of man.
The so-called human wind is actually the seven emotions and six desires of the practitioner himself, which are invisible and intangible. Once a thought moves, wind rises from the heart.
There is a little story in Buddhism that says when the wind blows a flag, it is not the flag or the wind that moves, but the heart of the benevolent that moves. This is the story of Yuanying Zhenjun's third wind tribulation.
Yun Zai Tian prepared for more than a hundred years to survive the second wind disaster, and during this period he only left Qingyun Sect once.
The Nine Nether Yin Wind is ultimately an external force, and can be resisted by pure Yang objects.
Yun Zai Tian sensed the coming of the wind disaster and took a Hun Tian Chun Yang Pill in advance. This fourth-level nine-transformation elixir contained a trace of pure yang energy, which was specifically designed to overcome the nine-you yin energy.
He also has the Shenxiao Tianfeng Sword and a fourth-rank Yuanyang Crown, which are more than enough to protect his mind and resist the Nine Nether Yin Wind.
Unexpectedly, the Nine Netherworld Yin Wind turned from Yin to Yang, igniting the Six Desires Demonic Fire. The fire was generated from the wind. I am afraid that even a god would have difficulty surviving this disaster.
The Hun Tian Chun Yang Pill he took made the Six Desires Demonic Fire even stronger.
Such disasters and changes are half caused by man and half by destiny.
Yun Zai Tian couldn't help but sigh. He knew that someone might cause trouble when he was undergoing the tribulation, and he was prepared for it. However, such a sudden change was far beyond his ability to cope with it.
After a long time, the spiritual light of the magic formation in Xuanming Temple gradually dissipated.
Yun Qiu Shui, who was guarding outside the door, hurriedly pushed it open and entered the Taoist temple. As soon as he entered, he saw Yun Zai Tian sitting quietly on the steps in front of the main hall, his eyes calm and indifferent, with neither joy nor sadness.
Yun Qiushui felt something was wrong. If the master had survived the catastrophe, he shouldn't be so calm. Moreover, his appearance and aura were deep and strange, and the situation seemed not good.
He hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"Qiu Shui, come here."
Yun Zaitian's gaunt face was rarely serious. He handed the Shenxiao Tianfeng sword to Yun Qiushui and said, "Take the sword and go to the East China Sea to find your father and his family. Don't come back."
Yun Qiushui then realized that the situation was not good. He took the Shenxiao Tianfeng Sword with some trepidation: "Ancestor, you..."
"It is fate, no need to say more." Yun Zai Tian has been cautious all his life. Now that his body and soul are about to perish, he has let go of his burdens, looked at everything in a more open-minded way, and no longer had any obsessions. He feels more relaxed and calm than ever before.
"Grandmaster," Yun Qiushui was certain that the Grandmaster had failed to survive and would not live long. Thinking of all the kindness the Grandmaster had shown him, he could not help but feel grief-stricken. He was choked with sobs and could not speak.
"You are still so innocent."
Yun Zai Tian said calmly: "If you can't achieve the great way in this life, there is still the next life. It's not bad to change the way you live..."
Yun Qiu Shui felt even more sad. It sounded easy to say this, but in reality, even if a cultivator's true spirit could be reincarnated, he would inevitably lose all the wisdom and memory of his previous life.
In other words, reincarnation has nothing to do with the previous life. It is said that only when you reach the Pure Yang realm can you awaken the memories of your previous life. But at that point, these are no longer important.
Yun Zai Tian was about to say something when his expression suddenly changed. He turned to Yun Qiu Shui and said, "Don't talk for a while. Listen to my instructions and there is still a way out. Don't be impulsive."
"Huh?" Yun Qiu Shui was about to ask when he heard some noise. He turned around and saw several strangers barging in without any courtesy.
The leading woman was beautiful, wearing a Qingyue crown and a moon-white robe. There was a coldness between her eyebrows and her aura was intimidating.
Next to the woman was a burly bald man wearing an iron-gray robe that looked like iron armor. Just standing there, he was as tall and strong as an iron mountain, full of endless power.
Next to the big man was a middle-aged man. His eyes were shining brightly, his robe was bright red like fire, and he had a fierce and hot aura all over his body.
Yun Qiu Shui had never seen these three people before, but he could tell at a glance that the leading woman was True Lord Han Yue, and the other burly man was Wu Pokong, the leader of the Hunyuan Sect.
The identity of the man in red could not be guessed, but he could only be sure that the other party was Yuanying Zhenjun.
Two of the three Yuanying Zhenjun had grudges against the sect. They suddenly appeared at this time, and he had to suspect that the three of them had planned it in advance.
The key point is how these three people broke in. The sect’s magic formation is not fake.
Yun Qiu Shui glanced outside the door and saw Shui Yujun standing far away. He suddenly realized that it was Shui Yujun who opened the magic circle and let the people in.
He couldn't help but get angry. Shui Yujun and Gao Xian had a grudge, but the sect didn't do anything to the Shui family. At the critical moment, the Shui family betrayed the sect. Damn it! "Calm down."
Yun Zai Tian saw that Yun Qiu Shui was in a bad mood, so he slowly stood up and put his hand on the junior's shoulder.
Yun Zai Tian smiled at the three True Lords Han Yue and said, "It's just a trivial matter, but I have to trouble the three True Lords to come to my house. I feel very uneasy and ashamed."
Master Han Yue said coldly: "Yun Zai Tian, you should have known this day would come when you allowed Gao Xian to randomly kill our sect's disciples."
Wu Pokong also said in a deep voice: "You protected Gao Xian, so if I don't deal with you, who else can I deal with? Yesterday's cause led to today's result. You have nothing wronged or wronged."
"What the two True Lords are teaching me is that I was not thoughtful enough and I deserve this disaster."
Yun Zai Tian looked at the man in red and asked politely, "I wonder what this True Lord's name is, and why he is making things difficult for me?"
The man in red said proudly, "I am not afraid to tell you that I am Hongyang from Wanfeng Sect. Gao Xian killed my junior, so I destroyed Qingyun Sect first to vent my anger."
"I see."
Yun Zaitian nodded. Although Hong Yang was arrogant, his actions were consistent with his character. However, these three people were obviously not enough to cause his wind disaster to change and kill him. I think there must be a higher-level strong man behind him to help.
Since the three people are led by Master Hanyue, it must be that this person used some tricks.
He bowed to Master Han Yue and said, "Fellow Daoist, there is one thing I don't understand. I don't know what ingenious method you used. Can you tell me a little bit so that I can die with a clear mind?"
True Lord Han Yue said calmly: "It's okay to tell you. When Daojun was overcoming the tribulation, he intercepted a little bit of the Six Desires Heart Fire Demon Seed. While you are overcoming the tribulation with the connection between heaven and man, this little bit of the Heart Fire Demon Seed will be used by you."
"To think that he has such a method, the ability to transform into a spirit is indeed profound and unfathomable. I admire him very much."
Yun Zai Tian clapped his hands lightly in admiration, and said leisurely: "I am only at the Nascent Soul stage, how can I face the Heart Fire Tribulation. I deserve to die.
"Gao Xian is my disciple, so it is reasonable for you to seek revenge on me."
True Lord Hanyue, Wu Pokong and True Lord Hongyang were all a little surprised that Yun Zai Tian was so open-minded. The attitude of being able to accept defeat really made the three of them admire him.
Thousands of years of cultivation were destroyed in an instant, all because of the trouble caused by his disciples. If it were them, they would definitely not be able to be as calm and composed as just now.
Yun Qiushui was extremely angry, his bright eyes were full of murderous intent. He also knew that he was far from being a match for him, so he could only suppress his anger.
The three Yuanying Zhenjuns on the opposite side didn't even look at Yun Qiu Shui. A mere golden elixir, even if he was a sword cultivator, could be killed with one hand.
On the contrary, Yun Zai Tian, although the Yin God is about to be destroyed, if his two thousand years of cultivation were to burst out, he should not be underestimated.
Yun Zai Tian glanced at Shui Yujun who was hiding outside. Shui Yujun's face suddenly became nervous. He didn't know what Yun Zai Tian's condition was, but he was forced to come by True Lord Han Yue.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Shui Yujun chose to join Han Yue Zhenjun not for Gao Xian. Although he hated Gao Xian, he would not gamble with his entire family because of this matter.
He was not optimistic about the sect starting over overseas.
The Qingyun Sect has been built here for thousands of years. People can move away, but the sect, magic arrays, spiritual sites, etc. that have been built over thousands of years cannot be moved away.
Now that the Yun family has taken the initiative to take some people away, and most of the huge sect is under his control, he has other ideas.
Joining the Cold Moon Master was equivalent to joining the East Wasteland. In the future war, at least they wouldn't have to fight the East Wasteland desperately. As for what would happen in the future, even the Pure Yang Daoist Master couldn't tell.
Shui Yujun felt that his choice was correct in the past few hundred years, at least it could make the Shui family more prosperous. As for being a subordinate of the demon cultivator, that was not a problem at all.
Good or evil, Taoist or demon, these titles are not important in the troubled times. What matters is to survive.
He felt that he had enough reasons to betray, but he didn't have the face to face Yun Zai Tian, nor did he have the courage to face Yun Zai Tian.
Yun Zai Tian saw Shui Yujun's ashamed and panicked look from afar, and he couldn't help but sigh. This young man didn't reveal any traces, which was considered a skill. As for why the other party betrayed, he could think of many sufficient reasons, but there was no need to ask too much.
At this point, it is not difficult to kill Shui Yujun by using up the last bit of cultivation, but it does not make much sense.
Yun Zai Tian said to Han Yue Zhen Jun and the other three, "My fellow Taoists, your calculations are brilliant and your methods are ingenious. I am convinced of my defeat."
The expressions of Master Han Yue were somewhat complicated. The Yuanying Master simply admitted defeat, and the three of them were very happy. However, the three of them also knew that the old man must have something else to say.
As expected, Yun Zai Tian said, "My three fellow Taoists, I have one last favor to ask of you."
He pointed at Yun Qiushui beside him and said, "He is just a junior and has nothing to do with your grudges. I beg the three Taoist friends to let him go."
True Lord Hongyang and Wu Pokong did not say anything. They both relied on their status and did not care whether Yun Qiu Shui lived or died, but they did not want to make any promises casually.
Master Han Yue said coldly: "If you know what's best for you, it won't be difficult to spare his life."
"Oh, I see."
Yun Zai Tian bowed to the three Han Yue Zhen Jun, then turned to Yun Qiu Shui and said sternly: "The three seniors will not make things difficult for you, and these grudges have nothing to do with you. You can just go overseas to find your father and the others..."
Facing Yun Zaitian's serious gaze, Yun Qiu Shui could only nod, "Grandmaster, I understand."
"Good boy."
Yun Zai Tian patted Yun Qiu Shui's shoulder gently, with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.
He relaxed his mind and body, and the suppressed Yin Wind Demon Fire in his Yin Spirit instantly swept through his body and soul, and faint balls of black flames rose on the surface of his body.
This kind of pain of burning body and soul made Yun Zai Tian frown slightly. He whispered: "Life and death are like a wheel, and all things have the same origin. The true spirit returns to the Tao, and the world is infinitely broad..."
As the chanting sounded, the clouds in the sky quickly melted and decomposed into wisps of black smoke, which drifted away with the breeze.
True Lord Hanyue, Wu Pokong and True Lord Hongyang originally came for revenge, but seeing Yun Zai Tian die helplessly and his two thousand years of cultivation gone to ashes, the three Yuanying True Lords couldn't help but feel sad.
Yun Qiu Shui knew that Yun Zai Tian gave up resistance just to give him a way to survive. He suppressed his grief and turned to leave, but was stopped by True Lord Han Yue.
"Wait, you can go, but the sword must be left behind." Master Hanyue said calmly.
Yun Zai Tian was sensible and left so calmly, so True Lord Han Yue didn't bother to argue with Yun Qiu Shui. However, the fourth-tier spiritual sword, Shenxiao Tianfeng Sword, had to be left behind.
Yun Qiushui tightly grasped the Divine Heaven Sword. He used all his strength to speak calmly, "This sword is the most precious treasure of my sect. How can I leave it to outsiders?"
"For Yun Zai Tian's sake, I'll give you a chance."
Master Han Yue said slowly: "If you leave your life behind, you can take the sword with you. Choose your own..."
