Ning Que only needed to take a few more steps forward and climb up the Bone Mountain to receive Master Lotus' caress. Then, he would inherit all his achievements and become a top powerhouse in the world. He would then understand the wonders of Devil's Doctrine and enter the state of God. However, this meant that he would have to accept the Devil's Doctrine's genuine Qi.
When Taoism and the Devil were connected, one could enter the state of God. This sounded wonderful. However, under the luxurious robe, the naked reality was still the same as before. Enlightenment was a secret method of the Devil's Doctrine. It could not be passed on through enlightenment or the state of Psyche Power. It could only exist in reality. The Qi of Heaven and Earth that was absorbed from nature was not the Devil's Doctrine.
To enter the state of God, one must first enter the Devil's Doctrine? In the Secluded Hall, Master Lotus could gently talk about the Devil's Doctrine. However, in the real world outside the mountain, the Devil's Doctrine was still an evil existence that could not be tolerated in the world. It was an evil that all the countries and sects in the Central Plains wanted to destroy.
Ning Que was the core disciple of the Headmaster of the Academy. Ye Hongyu was the most beloved Tao Addict among the younger generation of the West-Hill Divine Palace. However, even people of their status would be abandoned by the whole world once they were discovered to have entered the Devil's Doctrine. Just like this magnificent mountain range in the north of the Wilderness.
He would enter the Devil if he took a few more steps. How could he take that step? However, the temptation of inheriting Master Lotus's mantle and becoming a powerhouse with unparalleled power and cultivation was so fresh and powerful. How could he let go of such an opportunity?
Ning Que felt that his legs were as heavy as a few thousand taels of silver. He could not move an inch.
Ye Hongyu's ears seemed to still be reverberating with the gentle and compassionate voice of Divine Lord Lotus. Her eyes were a little empty. Occasionally, there would be a glimmer of determination, but it would instantly turn into a struggle of pain.
Just like Ning Que, her spiritual world was also in an extremely unstable but relaxed state. Her thoughts were swaying with Master Lotus's teachings. She was swaying between what she had learned from Haotian Taoism and pure logic.
Inheriting the mantle of Divine Lord Lotus was an unimaginable temptation to any cultivator. However, if it was just this temptation, it would not be enough to make her, who had a strong Taoist heart, interested in the Devil's Doctrine. However, deep in her heart, she could not refute Divine Lord Lotus' point of view. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it made sense.
The eyebrows on Ye Hongyu's beautiful face were tightly furrowed. She looked like she was in great pain. She stretched out her left hand and grabbed her plump and soft breasts. Her fingers dug in deeply, as if she was trying to dig out her uneasy heart. Because she used too much strength, the wound on her left shoulder, which had been injured by several arrows, burst open again. Blood slowly flowed out.
She murmured, "Is there really a third path?"
Mo Shanshan, who was kneeling on the ground, had turned extremely pale at this moment. Her lips were pursed into a straight line, and her beautiful ink-like eyes were unable to focus at all, appearing extremely scattered.
Master Lotus did not rush them, nor did he show any impatience. He looked at them calmly and gently. There was a faint benevolent smile on his skinny face. Perhaps he hoped that they could cross the threshold themselves and make their own choice.
The strong spiritual impact caused by the difference between Taoism and the Devil caused Ning Que and the other two to fall into a painful spiritual struggle. This kind of pain caused their minds to be absent-minded and unstable. However, it was accompanied by a very clear and relaxed state of mind. Gradually, the pain and struggle began to flow away like water. The aura that lingered in their sense of perception turned into warm spring water, and the clear and relaxed stable state of mind once again occupied their bodies.
The negative emotions like fear and struggle gradually faded away. The three of them instinctively felt very safe. Master Lotus was as pure as a lotus. There was no need for him to deceive them into joining the Devil, nor would he have any ulterior motives towards them. If such a peerless powerhouse wanted to hurt them, he would not need to spend so much effort.
The real reason that made them calm and relaxed was still the temptation. The temptation of inheriting the legacy of the previous powerhouses, the temptation of understanding the original truth of the world, and the temptation of merging Taoism and the Devil to enter Divinity.
This temptation was the grassland, the starry sky, the sweet taste of milk cakes when they were young, the arrogant aura of standing on the peak of the mountain, and the possibility of writing one's name on the mottled city wall for the future generations.
The door of temptation was slowly opening in front of them.
Behind the door was an unfamiliar, fresh and fertile grassland. As long as they were willing, they could lie on this green grassland that was as soft as a blanket, and look at the beautiful starry sky that they had never seen before. They could enjoy everything quietly.
Among the three of them, Ye Hongyu's state was the highest, and she had the deepest understanding of cultivation. She had seen those truly powerful powers before, and she stubbornly and focused on pursuing them. Hence, she felt the greatest temptation at this moment.
Suddenly, she heard the creaking sound of the broken wooden bed shaking. She saw her legs that were as thin and weak as reed sticks when she was young. She recalled the humiliating and angry past.
Then, she saw her brother who had his hair combed into a bun and carried a wooden sword on his back. At that time, her brother was still a proud young man, but he was already so lonely. As time passed, her brother became more and more lonely. Was it because no matter how hard I tried, I could not catch up to your footsteps? If I had the ability to stand side by side with you, standing on the precipitous cliff and facing the cold mountain wind, would you not feel so lonely?
She raised her head in confusion and realized that Divine Lord Lotus was looking at her with a pitiful gaze, as if he had seen through all her disguises. She suddenly felt cold and terrified, because she felt that the door was about to close in front of her.
"Not being possessed by the Devil … not being possessed by the Devil …"
She muttered to herself, but her eyes became brighter and brighter. She lifted her feet and walked up the Bone Mountain.
"Yes."
"No."
She walked to the front of Divine Lord Lotus and knelt on the ground. Her knees crushed a few white bones. She lowered her head humbly and devoutly removed all the shackles that her heart had on the outside world. She opened up her spiritual world honestly.
…
…
Ning Que was also subconsciously looking up at the starry sky on the green grassland. His mind was calm and clear. However, the pure temptation that was hidden in this beautiful picture was still lacking the last bit of strength to make him take that step. As he had stayed in front of the door for too long, his thoughts started to wander, and he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
A ray of light appeared in his mind. It was not like a lightning bolt, but more like a spring rain. It instantly calmed him down and freed him from his current mental state. He thought of a few points that he did not understand previously.
If he had bound himself to atone for his sins, why would he need to wear chains on his body? Could it be that someone like Master Lotus, who had reached such a high state, would also fall into the boring state of using his body to atone for his sins? How firm was the will of such a legendary figure? He had seen the prosperity of the world and had experienced life and death. How could he suddenly and inexplicably go against the Dao and Buddhist Heart just because his Youngest Martial Uncle broke into the mountain gate and killed a group of demons with his sword?
Even if it was himself, he could not be moved after seeing so many cruel scenes, let alone a powerhouse like this?
These doubts kept hitting his mind like raindrops. In the end, they converged into a certain possibility. This old monk was not binding himself to atone for his sins, but he was locked up here to suffer and atone for his sins!
Thinking of this, Ning Que woke up in shock. He realized that the warmth that surrounded him like spring water and the benevolent and peaceful aura had all disappeared. The environment was still dry and slightly cold. He understood that he had been controlled by the old monk's mental power previously!
He looked towards the Bone Mountain in shock. He saw the Tao Addict kneeling in the pile of white bones in front of the old monk. The old monk's skinny palm had already landed on her head. A strong sense of terror instantly took over his body!
Mo Shanshan walked to the edge of the Bone Mountain in a daze. Ning Que shouted and stretched out his hand to grab her. Then, he used the fastest speed to untie the iron bow on his back. He pulled the bow and arrow and aimed at the old monk who was once as benevolent as Buddha but was now as gloomy as a ghost.
…
…
The skinny old palm wrapped in thin skin slowly landed on the girl's head and gently stroked it. Feeling the delicate touch from the black hair, a painful struggle suddenly appeared in the old monk's eyes that were as warm as a spring lake.
The struggle only lasted for a moment. The gentle benevolence on the old monk's skinny face instantly turned into extreme fanaticism and finally into extreme calmness and indifference. There was no emotion in his eyes that were as deep as the stars in the night.
A breath that was not strong but pure and thick spurted out from the bottom of the old monk's palm.
Ye Hongyu suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the old monk's face that was inches away from her. She felt the Psyche Power in her sense of perception leaking out of her body like a flood. Her body suddenly became weak and she understood what was happening.
Her bright eyes were filled with coldness and her graceful body bounced up like a fish. Accompanied by a sharp roar, her hands changed four types of sword gestures in the air. She condensed the Qi of Heaven and Earth around her into a virtual sword and directly stabbed towards the old monk's chest.
She was indeed the powerful Tao Addict. In the face of such an unexpected situation, facing the Divine Lord Lotus who had always been regarded as a god in the cultivation world, she made the fastest and most correct response that a strong cultivator could make. Her response was simple, direct and cold. She attacked with a ruthless Taoism skill that would die together with her!
However, this Taoism sword that contained her decades of hard work and could even be said to be the most powerful Taoism sword that she had ever displayed in her life was completely useless. This was because … she could not condense the Qi of Heaven and Earth even after changing four types of sword gestures.
There was Qi of Heaven and Earth everywhere. As long as there was Qi of Heaven and Earth, it could be sensed and used by the Psyche Power. The Tao Addict, Ye Hongyu, was proficient in all kinds of Taoism skills. In such a life and death situation, she would not have any problems with her Taoism skills. There was only one explanation for why she could not condense the Qi of Heaven and Earth. There was no Qi of Heaven and Earth around the old monk at all!
There were many ways to isolate the Qi of Heaven and Earth in the world. However, there was only one way to make the Qi of Heaven and Earth disappear completely. Even with Ye Hongyu's vast knowledge, she only knew of one way – the real Confinement!
Ye Hongyu was naturally very familiar with the Confinement of the Judicial Department. She was also one of the few people who had seen the Confinement that the Great Divine Priest of Judgment had set up. However, the Confinement that the Great Divine Priest of Light had trapped for more than ten years was not as powerful as the one in front of her!
Feeling the release of the Psyche Power and the weakness in her body, she lowered her head and knelt on the white bones. Looking at the craggy white bones, her gradually blurred vision finally gave birth to a look of despair.
The white bones as the fence and the dried corpses as the fence. It was such a powerful and terrifying Confinement.
