Hong You stood where he was and pondered, but no matter how he thought about it, he could not understand what was going on Just Now.
Just like Shen Chong's' Fuse into One, 'if Shen Chong didn't explain it, then he wouldn't be able to understand it. Because this had already exceeded his understanding. If it was the first time he encountered such an incident, then perhaps his mind and vital energy would be injured just like the last time, and it would affect his body.
But after experiencing a similar situation once, he once again stood at the peak, and could very calmly accept this kind of thing.
Perhaps the most important reason was that although his opponent this time was only a reflection, he was still an upper realm almighty, so losing to an almighty was undoubtedly reasonable and not that hard to accept.
At this moment, a thought suddenly appeared in his mind. Could it be that his failure was due to the interference of an almighty? If that was the case, even a hundred of him would be useless.
But this thought was immediately extinguished by him.
It was not that he was afraid, but since the almighty had allowed him to see the reflection, then he would not do such a meaningless thing, or else this matter would be cut off from the source.
Moreover, with Shen Chong's previous move, he understood that in this realm, there were indeed some methods that others could not see through.
If it was before, he could go back and calculate the wonders of this move, but now he could not, because he did not dare to let this person's reflection appear in his Divine Will at all.
But he did not retreat because of this, instead unparalleled fighting spirit shone. There was an incredibly powerful opponent here that he could repeatedly ask for advice, this was a rare opportunity, and he would not be injured here at all, so what else could he ask for?
If he could not understand it the first time, then he would try it the second time, and if he could not understand it the second time, then he would try it the third time, and if he failed too many times, then he would naturally be able to find out the reason.
Thinking of this, he adjusted his mind and Qi activity, and once again stepped into the inner layer.
Then, he repeatedly entered sixteen times, and was defeated in one move every time. It was the same every time, and when the sword light appeared, life and death were already decided.
Although he could not see the true wonders of the sword light every time he failed, he saw some of his own inadequacies from it. Being defeated by an opponent was ultimately his own fault, because as long as he did not have any flaws, and was even perfect, he would not be defeated in one blow.
However, he also understood that the Yuan Mirage Gate was able to agree to this matter this time. Firstly, it was because they were fellow Daoists, and secondly, he had Ran Xiushu to accompany him. After all, he had to give face to the Shaoqing Sect Elder. Thirdly, it was very likely that he agreed to it after seeing that the other person did not stop him.
However, it was impossible for him to use the ultimate treasure of the Origin Mirage Gate endlessly. There was bound to be a limit to the number of times he could use it, so he especially cherished every opportunity. After retreating in defeat, he would reflect on himself and try to find his own shortcomings.
After thirty-six attempts, he found that he could no longer take another step forward. He knew that he could no longer continue, so he turned around and walked out of the Great Spirit Stele.
Seeing that everybody was still waiting outside, he cupped his fists and said, "I have troubled everybody to wait for a long time, it was really impolite of me, please do not take it to heart." He solemnly bowed to Xue Dingyuan and said, "Many thanks to Sect Leader Xue."
Xue Dingyuan returned the greeting and said, "You're too polite, Fellow Daoist."
Although everyone present was curious about the final outcome, they did not ask when they saw that Hong You had no intention of taking the initiative to speak.
At this moment, Hong You said, "I don't have anything in return for gaining permission to enter this place, but I do know a piece of news, so I'll give it to all of you."
After saying a few words to Yuwen Hongyang and the other two, he bid farewell to them.
Xue Dingyuan personally saw the two of them off. When he returned, he asked, "What do Sect Leader Yuwen and Sect Leader Su think about this matter?"
Yuwen Hongyang said, "Zhou Huanyuan Jade can pass through the upper boundary. If the two of you are interested, you can go there and seek your fortune."
Su Muqing smiled lightly and said, "I haven't reached the required level yet, so I won't join in the fun. Sect Leader Xue, on the other hand, can give it a try."
Xue Dingyuan thought about it carefully and finally said, "I won't go." He looked at the two of them and said, "It's not that I don't want to compete, but the heavens operate and have their own destinies. Fortune is determined by the heavens, not by me."
Yuwen Hongyang nodded slightly and said, "Since you've obtained immortality, you should first enjoy peace and then search for the heavenly secrets. You'll eventually have a chance if you keep waiting."
Su Muqing was deep in thought. His cultivation was not as profound as the two of them, but it was not difficult for him to deduce what was behind these words.
However, he still somewhat admired Xue Dingyuan. Sometimes, even if a cultivator could already see the result, they could not help but do it for the sake of fighting for that one in a million chance.
Especially when it came to matters that involved the upper realm, few people could endure it. Moreover, with Xue Dingyuan's cultivation base, there shouldn't be any danger in this trip. Yet, he was still calm and motionless without the slightest hesitation. Sure enough, he was worthy of being one of the few people who survived the Human Tribulation of the Nine Regions.
However, those who fought for this item would definitely be those cultivators who stood at the top of the heavens, so it did not prevent him from observing it.
On the other side, Hong You and Ran Xiushu had already left the abyss. Ran Xiushu asked, "Fellow Daoist Hong You, where are you going?
Hong You said in a deep voice, "I might go to the Mysterious Mirror World."
Ran Xiushu asked, "To fight for the Primordial Jade?"
Hong You shook his head and said, "I'm not asking for the Primordial Jade, but I will definitely meet many opponents there." He paused for a while and continued, "This time, I learned that there are still many shortcomings in my cultivation. In the past, I thought that I was brilliant, but it was also full of flaws. I can only continue to polish myself in order to perfect my cultivation."
When Ran Xiushu heard this, he knew the result, but it was also within his expectations. He asked curiously, "What did you gain this time?"
Hong You was silent for a while, then said, "It's hard for me to say, why don't you take a look?" He glanced at Ran Xiushu, and entered the wisp of sword light that he saw Just Now into Ran Xiushu's Divine Decree.
However, there was no blurry figure in it, nor was there any process. In fact, it was impossible to see anything from the sword light on the surface, but that was all he could recall. If he took another step forward, he could faintly feel that something bad would happen to him.
When Ran Xiushu saw the wisp of sword light, he was startled, and then he fell into deep thought.
Hong You didn't say anything, and only waited calmly at the side.
After a long time, Ran Xiushu Just Now came back to his senses, smiled at Hong You, and said, "Fellow Daoist, this is the end of the journey, I'll go back now. Oh right …" He slapped his forehead, as if he remembered something, and complained to Hong You, "Fellow Daoist, you should also take in a disciple. Otherwise, without a junior by your side, how can you show off your power?"
Hong You was a serious person, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but laugh.
Ran Xiushu also laughed, and said, "Fellow Daoist Hong You, I'll take my leave. If you're bored, you can come find me for a sword duel." After saying this, he instantly turned into a flowing light and disappeared.
Hong You looked at the vast and endless galaxy in the night sky, and murmured, "Take in a disciple?" He lowered his head and thought for a while, then slowly said, "That's a good idea."
He had been pursuing battles with Dao techniques all his life, constantly challenging strong opponents, but he had never really calmed down to sort out his Dao techniques.
It could be said that all his problems were discovered in battles with enemies, but some of his shortcomings and flaws could be corrected by himself, and he didn't have to rely on external sources.
Moreover, he had gained a lot this time, and he needed to digest too many things. Moreover, he faintly felt that the reason why some places were difficult for him to advance was probably because there was a problem at the root.
He wasn't afraid of problems, but he was afraid of not being able to find them.
If that was the case, he could very well take in some disciples under his sect. Imparting techniques wasn't the goal, but the means. Perhaps by observing the disciples' cultivation, he could see more things.
He was a person who did what he thought. Therefore, he used his Fa Li and continuously teleported several times. Finally, he appeared in a large desert. In the almost unchanging scenery, there were undulating and winding golden-white sand piles.
This was the southern part of the hundred continents of the South Sieve, where the heat was unbearably hot, like a hell of fire. It was truly a place where no living creatures could be found. However, as he looked through the layers of sand, he could see raging rivers flowing down below, as well as countless twisting ravines. That was the perfect place for his disciples to live.
The entire hundred continents of the South Sieve were governed by the Demonkind, which had been intentionally left behind when the various sects of the Nine Continents had first occupied the Mountain and Sea Realm. First of all, not many sects had occupied such a vast territory, and second of all, the presence of the Demonkind would allow them to fight the Eastern Wastelands savages.
Of course, there was no need for that now.
The Mountain and Sea Realm itself was vast, and could be passed through anywhere in the Heavens. Therefore, there was no need to keep an eye on this place.
The reason he had chosen this place to teach his disciples was because it was a cruel and ever-changing place. Furthermore, the outside world was filled with Outsiders and Demonkind, which made it even easier to hone one's cultivation.
The only downside was that this place was far away from the other sects, and could be described as an isolated island.
However, that wasn't a problem. He could set up a teleportation Dharma altar here, which he could use to communicate with the outside world.
Based on his cultivation base, he might not be able to set up something like that in the myriad of Heavens, but he could easily teleport it to the Mountain and Sea Realm.
After setting up a Daoist rite temple underground, he went to the other three continents to look for suitable disciples.
He didn't like the Mountain and Sea Realm savages, but he wanted to teach the reincarnated people of the Nine Continents. He didn't want to owe any favors to the various sects, and therefore, after spending half a year searching for twenty or so children, he brought them back to the Great Sand Sea of the South Reaches.
He was only here to teach them Daoist magics, not to establish a sect, nor to restore the Primal Yang Daoist tradition.
Primal Yang was a thing of the past, and his path had been born from it. However, the later stages were completely different. Not even the founder of the Primal Yang Daoist Sect would be as powerful as he was now, and therefore, it wasn't worth his while.
However, there was one thing that he didn't forget. In order to teach Daoist magics, the tablets of Yuan Zun had to be worshipped. Although the Creator of Yuan Zun wouldn't necessarily care about you, you couldn't disrespect him.
Furthermore, there were rules for the placement of the tablets. In the middle was the tablet of Dao Sovereign Xuanyuan, followed by the other three. If they didn't do that, the other tablets of Yuan Zun would be destroyed. Therefore, it was tacitly agreed that this tablet was the most venerated. As for Daoist Wan Que, who no one knew about, he was an exception.
After he led the disciples in paying respects to the tablets, he saw a flicker of light on the tablets. Knowing that there was nothing to worry about, he began to teach Daoist magics.
