Chapter 510 Strange Talk
Chapter 510 Strange Talk
"Okay, now that everything is settled, do you plan to stay here or go with me to Calabash City?"
Elder Xue did not intend to force Tian Lin to go to Hulu City. After all, Tian Lin was not a disciple of Hulu City in the strict sense.
"Needless to say, this place is so boring, and we can't come and go as we please. It's better to go back to Hulu Peak!"
Without Tian Lin's reply, Mei Xiangu came over from next door.
Elder Xue nodded and asked Tian Lin and his companions if they had finished packing.
As a cultivator, all his belongings were placed in the storage bag. Besides, there was nothing to pack up.
Tian Lin said goodbye to Tao Li, and then left on Elder Xue’s flying boat.
The feeling of riding a flying boat in the secret realm is different from that of riding a flying boat in the outside world. The flying boats in the outside world are often shrouded in clouds and mist, but under the sunlight, you can also clearly see the earth and mountains below.
But in the secret realm, the sky was pitch black, and the mountains and rivers below were also pitch black.
Tian Lin had never ascended to the top of the sky, so he didn't know where the boundary of the secret realm was. However, there were no stars in the sky, so he deduced that the secret realm was not directly connected to the starry sky outside - unless there was a teleportation array.
"Are you curious about the origin of the secret realm?"
Elder Xue at the bow did not look back, but he could sense Tian Lin looking around.
There is actually nothing to hide, because people in the Wendao Sect are also speculating about the origin of the secret realm.
"As far as I know, the rumored secret realm is actually a corner of the former underworld. I don't know whether this statement is true or false."
Elder Xue said, "What you said is what most people say, but I have also heard another saying: It is said that the secret realm was created by an immortal imitating the underworld after the Great Qi Dynasty disappeared and the Heavenly Court gave up this world."
Tian Lin was surprised and asked, "After the Great Qi Dynasty disappeared, were there any immortals from the outside world who came here?"
"There's nothing strange about this."
Elder Xue said, "In our eyes, Divine Transformation cultivators are extremely rare. But in fact, Divine Transformation cultivators are numerous in the world - it's just that we are not qualified to see them because of our low cultivation and status. And even if a Divine Transformation cultivator travels, we can't recognize his cultivation because of our low cultivation."
Tian Lin nodded, and Elder Xue said, "So don't think that there are no immortals in the world we live in now - in fact, there have always been immortals traveling here."
Tian Lin frowned, and Mei Xiangu simply questioned: "How is it possible? If there were immortals here, the locusts and evil spirits wouldn't be so fierce."
"Perhaps immortals can wipe out locusts and evil spirits in a snap of their fingers, but why would they do that? In the eyes of most cultivators, mortals are as short-lived as ants. Therefore, cultivators do not regard mortals as their own kind, and there is no difference between killing mortals and killing ants.
Similarly, in the eyes of immortals, we mortals who can live for thousands or tens of thousands of years are monsters, but compared to them, immortals are just slightly stronger ants with a longer lifespan. "
Mei Xiangu was speechless for a moment, because although she had no interest in killing mortals, she actually did not take mortals seriously.
In fact, she and most of the cultivators had a consensus, that is, the death of mortals was no more precious than the cut leeks, because mortals would always grow again after being cut, just like leeks.
So, what does it matter if tens of thousands of people die at once? It only takes a dozen or dozens of years for mortals to give birth to more people than they die.
"What is the immortal doing in this world? It can't be for traveling, right?"
"Of course, it's to study the avenue."
Elder Xue said: "The immortals use the people of the small world to study their own great way - they observe the evolution of the small world, and even promote the progress of the small world or accelerate the demise of the small world. The purpose is to verify their way.
It's like this secret realm is obviously the product of the immortal's failed imitation of the underworld. "Tian Lin felt that Elder Xue's tone seemed to confirm that this secret realm was imitated by the immortal - but in fact, there are thousands of explanations for the origin of the secret realm, and each explanation actually makes sense.
On the contrary, the theory about the origin of the secret realm proposed by Elder Xue is not mainstream.
"You don't believe me? I don't want to believe it either - it's a pity that this statement was made by your master."
Elder Xue looked at Tian Lin and said, "I strongly suspect that your master is one of those immortals who traveled through many worlds and wanted to prove his own path."
The person that Elder Xue was referring to was naturally Elder Yu!
Tian Lin did not doubt that Elder Yu had reached the level of an immortal now, after all, the old man had lived too long. And even earlier, the old man had already reached the late stage of the Spiritualization Realm.
But Tian Lin was somewhat skeptical when asked to believe that Elder Yu was an immortal who had traveled to this world before the Great Qi Dynasty.
"If Elder Yu is an immortal, and he wants to take us away from this world, does he need to send a message to let us find an opportunity in the secret realm? I think he can use his magical powers to take us away from this world directly."
Mei Xiangu refuted Elder Xue's words, but Elder Xue asked her in return, "How can you be sure that the letter advising the sect was really written by Elder Yu?"
Mei Xiangu choked and looked at Tian Lin.
Tian Lin was also a little surprised. He didn't expect that Elder Xue also doubted the origin of the letter.
But if Elder Yu is indeed an immortal, then who in this world can and dares to write a letter in Elder Yu's name? At least he must be an immortal.
And if he was an immortal, for what purpose did he want to deceive the Taoist Sect?
Why would an immortal adopt a deceiving attitude towards ants?
Moreover, is there another immortal in this world?
"Since Elder is suspicious about the origin of the letter, why doesn't he raise the issue with other elders in the sect?"
Tian Lin looked at Elder Xue and heard Elder Xue say, "Now the situation in the outside world is unclear, and it seems to be an indisputable fact that staying in the secret realm is better than staying in the outside world.
Moreover, I have discussed this with the sect leader and others. If the immortal is indeed behind this, and we do not follow his plan, will the immortal let us go? It will only accelerate the process of our demise.
On the contrary, if the letter is not from another immortal, and the impersonating immortal has no ill will towards us, then we can also leave this world and no longer suffer from locusts and evil spirits. "
After all this talk, the sect actually had its doubts. But even though they doubted the origin of the letter, they had no choice but to do so.
"If Lord Yunding were here, perhaps we could discuss this matter with him."
Ran Lang has the cultivation of an immortal. Although he has just entered the immortal realm, he is still not comparable to ordinary cultivators.
However, after Ran Lang became an immortal, Tian Lin was unable to contact him again.
Elder Xue smiled and said, "So, now you have not only Elder Yu as your backer, but also Ran Lang - no one wants to bear the consequences of being held accountable by these two people after killing you. Therefore, in the Dao Sect, as long as you don't act recklessly, no one can embarrass you."
Mei Xiangu looked at Tian Lin, and she began to doubt her life again.
How could Tian Lin deserve the favor of two immortals?
But Tian Lin understood that all this was just a coincidence. Besides, it was hard to say whether Elder Yu was an immortal or not. And even if Ran Lang became an immortal, he would not have any intention of helping him because of the oath made by Hou Tu that he could not be killed.
Therefore, the concepts of master and brothers are all empty talk.
