Chapter 229: Fire and Fire Fighting

Chapter 229: Fire and Fire Fighting

Li Wuxiang had experienced this in his previous life - wanting something very much but feeling that he needed to wait a long time and meet many conditions.

But suddenly one day, inexplicably, the thing that I had been thinking about day and night, and even thought would never be obtained or realized, was right in front of me -

This is how he feels at this moment!
If he remembered correctly, when Li Ye was still a True Immortal, the seven emperors of Xuanjiao had fought against him. It was only after that that he found a way and became a Golden Immortal.

Just now, the Ninth Young Master said that he found Li Ye was in trouble, so he sent Li Jiaotu to help him, but he made him learn the essence of Ranshan Fushu.

So... Li Ye really relied on this to master the Great Tribulation Sword Sutra and achieve the status of Golden Immortal! ?
At that time, Gongfu said that he needed "vacuum" and "the essence of Ranshan's talisman" - it turns out that these two things refer to the same thing!
He calmed himself down and spoke in a low voice, as if he was afraid of scaring something away: "Please God, give me some advice."

The Ninth Young Master was silent for a moment and did not speak immediately.

The two waited for a while, and Zhao Qi whispered, "Master, can't I listen too?"

"Oh, listen, you can't use it anyway. This method, in fact, you two - hey, Zhao Qi, how did you accept him as your disciple?"

"Ah? When I was in Jinshui, I thought he had good qualifications, I..."

Li Wuxiang interrupted him: "At that time, Zhao Qi recited two sentences and re-combed my hair. The poem he recited was: The immortal stroked my head, and I received eternal life through my hair."

The Ninth Young Master said, "Oh, good, that's the method. In that case, Zhao Qi is really your master. You - in this world, you should know that many things must be done according to rituals. For example, when Zhao Kui wanted to use you to refine a Taiyi, he wanted you to be the emperor. There is also a fixed number for offerings."

"Dao luck, Qi luck, rules - these are the rules. When you close these things, you will get the Dharma. This is the great Dao. Cultivation and skills are actually just details, just to close this great Dao. You can think that the inheritance of your Ranshan Sect relies on these two sentences."

"It's just that some people can use these two sentences to push the door open, but some people can't. I said Zhao Qi can't use them, and he just can't push the door open."

The Ninth Young Master's words were too simple, so simple that Li Wuxiang felt it was mysterious and made him think that the real truth must not be so. But for some reason, the Ninth Young Master could not say it or could not explain it clearly at this time.

He frowned and thought for a while: "Lord God, what happens next? What about the talisman paper? There are many talisman papers offered in front of the Taiyi statue in the Ranshan Illusionary Realm... Aren't those talisman papers special?"

"Talisman paper is the instrument of your Ranshan Talisman Technique, but what is important is not those things, but the real Ranshan Talisman of your Ranshan - that is, your Ranshan Illusion."

Even though he was told that it was useless, Zhao Qi was still listening carefully. After hearing this, he frowned and thought.

Li Wuxiang also thought for a moment: "My Lord, you mean that piece of paper? The piece of paper that Li Jiaotu made in the sixty-third year of the Qianzheng reign of the Daye Dynasty? I want to use that piece of paper to write the talisman?"

"Use it to draw talismans. When drawing talismans, the focus is on visualization and the feeling of meaning. For example, if you want to create a void, since this void does not exist in this world, then the things you draw on the talisman really cannot exist in this world - in this way, this thing can squeeze out a void in this world."

Zhao Qi's eyebrows were about to be twisted into a knot, and he couldn't help but say: "Master, how can one draw something that is not in this world? If I haven't seen something and don't know it, how can I know how to draw it?"

The Ninth Young Master sighed: "Save your brain, didn't I tell you that you can't use it?"

Then a chill rose in Li Wuxiang's heart. But it was not because of fear or terror - he had been mentally prepared just now - but a chill caused by clarity and relief.

This Ninth Young Master, and the master he mentioned, Li Yunxin, are not from this world, just like himself!

He felt that he vaguely knew what the "timing" that the Ninth Young Master was referring to was.

He had just left, not wanting to talk any more to the three of them, but when did he speak outside the cave again?

It was when I was talking to Lou He about my attitude towards that external evil, saying that my Peach Blossom Land was different from this world and that I was not used to being humble!

It was probably at that time that the Ninth Young Master felt that he was not a person of this world.

He said that when he passed on the technique to Li Jiaotu, Li Jiaotu could not obtain the essence of Ranshan Fushu, but Li Ye did...

Is it because Li Ye is not from this world?

It's really possible to imagine something that doesn't exist in this world!

No wonder, this so-called essence of Ranshan Talisman sounds incompatible with the practice methods of this world and like a joke. It must be because it is the Tao rules from another world, so it is difficult to explain it with the practice methods of this world.

After coming into this world, Li Wuxiang actually felt extremely happy in his heart - there is another world that breaks through inherent cognition. This feeling is so fresh and novel that no one can imagine.

And now that feeling appeared again, but it was also what he had thought in his heart before - since there is an alien world, there should be more alien worlds!
There are so many things in this world waiting for him to discover and explore!
This Ninth Young Master looked moody and inhuman, but at this moment Li Wuxiang developed an indescribable fondness for him - he was very grateful to him for letting him know that there were more doors that could be opened!

Since... Li Wuxiang slowly relaxed. Since his greatest secret in the world had already been known by him, then -

"My Lord, I have another question."

The Ninth Young Master didn't say anything, so Li Wuxiang continued, "Can I use this space to cultivate the Great Tribulation Sword Sutra? Can I use this space to create a golden immortal for myself?"

Zhao Qi's eyes suddenly widened, as if he heard what he said, but he couldn't believe that what he heard was really what he heard.

"Haha, you are really ambitious, just like your great master. Of course you have figured it out, right? That's what Li Ye did. But you are not stupid, you should know that there is no such thing as easy good things in the world."

"Listen carefully, you can't use this method lightly. I'm teaching you how to use it because it's very important for me to know whether that thing is Taiyi's True Spirit. After you use it once, it's best not to use it a second time. It's like a house that's already on fire, but I'm not afraid of you throwing a twig into it."

"As for what you said about becoming a golden immortal, why are you creating loopholes for yourself? Isn't the luck of humanity ready? You just need to slowly practice your Great Tribulation Sword Sutra. Besides, you can't do such a thing with your Ranshan Illusion. It's not enough, understand? I said that I asked Li Jiaotu to give Li Ye a treasure. Guess what it was?"

Li Wuxiang thought for a moment: "The Netherworld Scroll." "That's right. If you really want to create a Golden Immortal, you have to use the Netherworld Scroll. But if you use that thing, it's like pouring a few more carts of firewood into a burning house! Each life has its own rules. Small fights are fine, but big fights are disasters. Li Ye did this once. If you want to do it a second time, I don't mind, but you will be the ones who are unlucky."

"My Lord, are you saying... that it will cause chaos in the destiny of the world and cause a great disaster?"

"You can think so. Li Ye took the destiny of humanity, which is like fighting against heaven. Didn't I say it? Everything in this world is airtight. If something is forced out, the world will want to force it back - what's going on now? It has been squeezed for more than three thousand years, and it's almost squeezed out!"

Does this mean that Li Yesheng created the destiny of humanity? Or if there really is "destiny", there shouldn't be so many people in this world, or... there shouldn't be people at all, but should slowly become extinct?

It is possible... because there are demons and ghosts in this world! If we throw away our preconceived ideas - who says that humans have to rule the world? In this world with supernatural powers, it is too easy for demons and ghosts to exterminate humans!
"God, what are you doing here in this world after you came from your paradise? You just said that this world is like a house on fire, so are you here to put out the fire?"

"Haha, put out the fire?" The Ninth Young Master laughed, but Li Wuxiang felt that his laugh was more like just to make some sound. He also felt that if he was looking at him at this moment, there would definitely be no smile on his face.

"Of course not. It's to save the people in this house. There are many ways to save people. For example, if this house is on fire, but the people in the house are greedy for their belongings and are busy picking up the pieces and are reluctant to run out, then adding some wood to the fire and forcing them out can also be considered saving people, right?"

Li Wuxiang frowned, finding his words puzzling. It wasn't that he didn't understand what "house" meant - it should refer to this world.

The Ninth Young Master said that the house was on fire, and he had heard before that the war three thousand years ago was because the world was facing a catastrophe at that time, and Donghuang Taiyi and his disciples had different ways of dealing with the catastrophe from the other seven emperors, so the dispute arose.

The fire that the Ninth Young Master was talking about should refer to the catastrophe - creating the void in this world is like adding a twig to the fire, and using the Netherworld Scroll is like adding a few carts of firewood...

So was the disagreement between Donghuang Taiyi and the other seven emperors about the fact that he used the Netherworld Scroll to create a Golden Immortal "empty" for himself?

According to the Ninth Master, he seemed to want the previous catastrophe to be more severe, so that he could "save people" -

Li Wuxiang slowly let out a breath in his heart.

Because a strange thought suddenly popped up in his head - people living in the world always find reasons for their actions and always feel that what they do is right.

But if... this Ninth Young Master, and Donghuang Taiyi at that time, had the wrong way of dealing with the catastrophe - like he said that the fire should be burned more fiercely - then wouldn't it mean that, in fact, I, the Sword Sect, and the Thirty-Six Sects are not good people? !
Lou He said that the Six Sects of Xuan Sect were to maintain the balance between heaven and earth. Now that he heard the Ninth Young Master talking about things like "setting fire" and "squeezing out space", he really felt that they sounded like thugs who would do anything to achieve their goals.

But he only let the thought stay in his mind for a few seconds before he immediately suppressed it.

Only children can tell right from wrong. This does not mean that the right or wrong of a thing is unimportant, but that a wrong concept may lead to the right thing, and a right concept may lead to the wrong thing.

In his previous life, according to the mainstream view at that time, he was not a good person either, but now if he were asked to ask himself: Am I a bad person? The answer should be no - before knowing the whole picture, forget it, there is no need to trap yourself in any frame!

So he spoke again: "Lord God..."

"Hey, why are you so long-winded? Is there anything you don't understand?"

Li Wuxiang bowed towards the cave entrance: "This is really the last thing - God, you just told me that I can slowly practice my Great Tribulation Sword Sutra. But the Great Tribulation Sword Sutra says that to practice this skill, you must first be in a vacuum. If God only allows me to use this method to attract external evil into the body this time, how can I slowly practice in the future?"

The voice of the Ninth Young Master was like a laugh, and there seemed to be a hint of joking: "What did I just say to you? How to create a space?"

"...Using something that doesn't exist in this world..."

"Then what are you like? Don't you know?"

Li Wuxiang opened his mouth slightly, and felt that these words were like a bolt of lightning, splitting his brain in an instant -

I... I myself am not something of this world!
I am……

A vacuum!?

I already got the vacuum?!
As if he understood what he was thinking, the Ninth Young Master hummed slowly: "Now do you understand why I want to stay in Lingshan?"

Because the way this world is, people will want to push out anything that has been forced in!
Human calamities, killing calamities, endless hardships and dangers...they are just to squeeze out the things that don't exist!

His practice is really a fight for his life against the will of heaven!

Li Wuxiang felt a chill in his heart, but this chill did not make him feel frightened. Instead, it made his mind clear.

He bowed toward the cave entrance again: "Thank you, Lord God. I understand."

The Ninth Young Master did not reply this time. Instead, Zhao Qi stared at him straight in the face: "Li Wuxiang, if I was not confused just now, did you say that you wanted to practice the Great Tribulation Sword Sutra?"

"Ah."

Zhao Qi frowned and thought carefully for a while: "I don't remember many things clearly after I died, but I remember that the Great Tribulation Sword Scripture was cultivated by Donghuang Taiyi before he achieved the Golden Immortal?"

"Yes."

Zhao Qi's expression became strange. It was as if he wanted to sneer, but he didn't dare to sneer. It was as if he felt that what he just heard was all nonsense, but he had to tell himself to think about it carefully. He stared at Li Wuxiang for a while: "Then what did you say to my master just now... My master said that you can practice the Great Tribulation Sword Sutra? Did I hear it wrong or what? Is this what he meant?"

Li Wuxiang sighed: "Yes, that's what you heard. What do you want to say?"

"I mean, you see, I used to be a disciple of Ranshan, and you are now the master of Ranshan... The rules of the sect always take precedence over seniority, right? So even though I am your master, I am also considered your disciple now, right? So... as the master of the sect, can you pass on the Great Tribulation Sword Scripture to your disciples?"
