Yu Yan glanced at the scroll in his hand, and only after a while did he reply. "The seal on this scroll is from a very long time ago. I can only roughly tell that it's an incantation used to seal demonic beings. It's similar to a mustard seed space, but it also contains a hint of the Law of Reincarnation … "Yu Yan paused for a moment. As though he had thought of something, he turned to look at his disciple.
Zhu Yao instantly felt as though a bunch of grass mud horses were whizzing through her mind. "That's right. I stayed in there for a day, but a thousand years have passed since I came out." That scroll actually contained a difference of more than a thousand years.
Zhu Yao told Zhu Yao everything that happened inside.
Yu Yan's brows furrowed, and his expression became much sterner as well. "In that case, this scroll must have originated from the hands of the Primordial God Race. What's sealed inside is most likely a desolate mystic beast, and it's rumored that it possesses the strength to rival the God Race."
It was no wonder that when she released her dragon aura, the demonic beasts inside attacked her without any regard for their lives. It turned out that there was an old grudge between them.
"Then what about this one?" This scroll was so dangerous. As long as one appeared, Godzilla would destroy New York in a matter of minutes.
"There's no need to worry about that." Yu Yan said. "This scroll contains a self-destruction incantation in the first place. Adding on the passing of time, the demonic beasts inside will no longer exist. The reason why the flow of time inside was different from the outside world was to reduce the vigilance of the demonic beasts. They probably don't even know that they're trapped in the scroll. "
So that was the function of the moving severed land. The wisdom of the ancients was really broad and profound.
Zhu Yao suddenly recalled that shadow. According to Sesame's guesses, that person should have come from the Higher Realm. Master had just come down from above, so he should be even clearer about it.
After Yu Yan finished listening, his expression instantly sank, and after a long while, he slowly said. "The shadow you speak of, is actually a shadow. I don't think it's from the Upper Realm. "
"No? What exactly is that? "With such terrifying power, she really could not think of anyone else other than the Upper Realm.
"Yu … Yao." Yu Yan suddenly let out a long sigh, and stroked her head. There are some things you don't have to get too involved in. There will be a great calamity in this realm, and the reason I came down this time is to bring you up. "
"Calamity? What calamity? "
"…" Yu Yan turned silent. Those matters involved too many people, and he was powerless as well. He only had one disciple in his life, so he couldn't just sit back and watch. Therefore, he risked damaging his cultivation to forcefully descend to the lower realm to bring her back safely. "Listen to me and follow me."
However, the more Zhu Yao listened, the more flustered she felt in the depths of her heart. It was definitely not simple. It was more likely to be related to a bug.
"What's going on? Do we have to go to the Upper Realm to avoid it? "
Yu Yan remained silent, and simply looked straight at her.
"You can't tell me?" Zhu Yao clenched her fists. "I'm not going up."
Yu Yan's expression sank. "Nonsense!"
"I don't want to be a deserter." She already knew about the bug. If there was really a catastrophe, then let it come.
She had been in this world for so many years, although she still had lingering thoughts about the previous world. However, the ties here were growing deeper and deeper. Sesame, little radish. Zi Mo, Zi Dan, Feng Yi, Ancient Hill Sect, and the Azureflight Sect which she had personally established. In fact, she had long regarded these people as her own family, but now she knew that there was danger. Yet, she just walked away. Was she still human?
Zhu Yao smiled. "I won't die anyway, so you don't have to worry about me."
Even if she died, she could still look forward to her next rebirth. But what about the others? Even if she really could not stop the bug, she had to at least warn those people, right?
"Yu Yao, do you know that the path of cultivation has always been like this?" Yu Yan sighed. "The Great Dao is heartless. The path of cultivation has always been something that goes against the heavens. I understand your nature, but you can't save everyone. This world has always been one where the strong prey on the weak, and the strong are respected. No matter what happens to the others, it's their fate as well. There will come a day when your kindness will harm yourself. "
Because of a moment of pity, hadn't she paid a heavy price? Take Xiao Yi for example. Clearly, she could have gotten rid of him at the very beginning, yet, because of a moment of kindness, she let him go several times. In the end, she brought about such an ending. Although she had forgotten about it now, there will come a day when she will remember it. That day, she cried so bitterly, and regretted so thoroughly. He simply could not bear to see her walk down this old path.
"Master, you people always say that the Great Dao is heartless, and the Heavenly Dao is impermanent. But, who has truly seen the so-called Heavenly Dao? " She understood all of these principles. Ever since she entered this world, the phrase she heard the most was' the strong are respected '. "Has anyone really asked the Heavens, and received a definite answer? In this world, the weak are prey to the strong. If you don't want to be killed, then you have to strike first. Just who was the one who told everyone this concept? The so-called Heavens? "
Zhu Yao lightly laughed. "No. The Heavens have never told the people of the world to be heartless, to be powerful, and to be cruel. However, everyone seems to have gotten used to it. If you aren't strong, you will be beaten. Killing, being killed. These things happen every day. As long as you're strong, as long as you're capable, it's fine. As long as you're strong enough, killing a weakling doesn't seem to be a big deal. Hence, everyone hates each other, competes with each other, kills for treasures, and plunder resources. Is this really the right way? In order to become strong, you can do anything, and you can even obliterate your humanity. "
Take Xiao Yi for example. Clearly, he had peak-level aptitude, and heaven-defying luck. Even if he were to cultivate in peace, he could completely rely on his own abilities to prove the Great Dao, and ascend into a deity. However, he just couldn't be satisfied. When he had something good, he wanted even better. Hence, after obtaining the Metal Spirit, he still wanted the Water Spirit, and the Wood Spirit. And, he made a move on her without even asking about the situation, and he did not remember the favors she had given him. No, the word 'favors' had long disappeared from the bottom of his heart. The only thing left was the obsession of becoming stronger.
"I don't understand. Could it be that in order to cultivate the Great Dao, we have to continue fighting like this? With such a method of cultivation, what will be left in the end? " "Is the Great Dao that is attained through various kinds of suspicions, schemes, and slaughters, really something that belongs to the Heavenly Dao?"
Yu Yan turned silent. He had never thought about these questions before. Ever since he stepped onto the path of cultivation, the concept of the weak being prey to the strong had already been deeply imprinted in the bottom of his heart. His aptitude was excellent, and although he had experienced a few setbacks, he had never felt that there were any problems. Because, this was how the world was in the first place, and he had never doubted this world either.
However … He had a disciple now.
"Everyone says that immortal cultivation, immortal cultivation, attaining the Dao and becoming an immortal is the dream of everyone. Shouldn't the word 'deity' be the most beautiful dream in every practitioner's heart? It should be the most perfect and soft part of human nature. However, in the current cultivation world, I can't see the slightest bit of beauty. Everyone says that the path of cultivation is a path of blood, but who would have thought that the path of deity that is walked out of this path of blood, would be perfect? "
"What is deity? And what is the Dao? The weak are prey to the strong, and the elimination of dissidents. Is this really the only way to become a deity? " Zhu Yao sighed. She had wanted to say these words a long time ago, and they were also the things that she could not understand. "Everyone thinks that absolute power is the true Dao. However, I believe that these are merely the darkest parts of human nature. I only see greed, selfishness, cruelty, and violence. How can this be considered as the word 'deity'? Who still remembers that human nature still has the most basic kindness, tolerance, selflessness, and contribution? Are all of these not important? "
"Master, are we cultivating as deities, or as devils?"
— — — —
The moment her words fell, a clear voice transmission suddenly came from the sky. That voice sounded as though it was echoing from the Nine Heavens. It seemed to be very far away, yet it also felt as though it was very close to her ears. Zhu Yao felt a wave of comfortable energy circulating through her body, sweeping away the discomfort in her body.
In an instant, a myriad of rays of light shone, as though an aurora had filled the entire sky. Faint fluorescent light scattered down from the horizon. That light seemed to contain some sort of unique energy. The moment it came into contact with the ground, all living things began to grow, and withered trees began to receive a new lease of life. The soil they were standing on earlier had already bloomed into a sea of flowers.
"This is …" Did she accidentally activate some sort of special effect?
"A phenomenon of heaven and earth." Yu Yan however deeply frowned. "Such an anomaly, it must be a warning from the Heavenly Dao. It seems like that day is not far away."
What day was that day?
"You're really not following me up?" Yu Yan once again asked.
Zhu Yao clenched her fists, and heavily shook her head.
This was the first time she was truly rebelling against her own master. She felt a little guilty. She could tell that her master had spent a lot of effort in order to descend to the Lower Realm to fetch her, and even his cultivation had fallen back to the Demigod level.
However, Zhu Yao did not feel that there was anything wrong with her decision. Actually, in her own world, the term 'Deity' had always existed. In the very beginning, it only appeared in legends, and the concept was very vague. Thus, they called these legends as myths. For example, in a certain legend, a certain senior monk, or a certain Daoist, had obtained the Dao and became a Deity, and so on.
However, in her impression, those so-called people who obtained the Dao and became Deities were all extremely benevolent and powerful people. They were all people who had done a lot of good deeds in that era, or in the legends. The standard for becoming a Deity was to accumulate merits. While the Deities in the myths and legends, were all people who took it upon themselves to save the world, and the things they spread were filled with positive energy. However, she had never heard of anyone becoming a Deity by killing a lot of people, or robbing a lot of treasures.
That was why she began to doubt this world. Furthermore, just from Sesame and her master's words, even after ascending to the Heaven Realm, the concept of strength being respected did not seem to have changed the slightest bit. Then, it was the same no matter where she went.
"Haah …" Yu Yan let out a long sigh, a hint of fatigue was revealed on his face. His lips moved, as though he still wanted to say something, but in the end, he simply reached out his hand to stroke her head. The expression in his eyes grew deeper, and after hesitating for a moment, he finally could not help but step forward and pull her into his embrace.
An extremely bright white pillar of light descended from the sky, and instantly enveloped his body. This was the Light of Guidance. In the first place, he had forcefully descended to the Lower Realm this time, so there was a limit to how long he could stay here, and now, he no longer had the time.
