Fang Yuan grinned as he looked at the ink text on the wall of the bowl.
This calamity beckoning Gu was rank seven, a grade higher than Fang Yuan's Spring Autumn Cicada. Its effect was extremely mystical, it actually involved earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations.
The middle part of the ink text had a detailed explanation. Calamity beckoning Gu could attract calamities and calamities for Gu Immortals, it could divert the earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations from their original targets to themselves.
Fang Yuan's expression could not help but become strange.
Who would dare to use such an Immortal Gu?
Heavenly calamities and earthly tribulations were such troublesome destructive powers, such terrifying heavenly power. They could live peacefully, but using calamity beckoning Gu to attract these heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities, wasn't this simply courting death?
Gu Immortal Mo Yao, the great thirty-sixth generation fairy of Spirit Affinity House, why would she refine such an Immortal Gu?
The latter part of the ink text provided a reason.
It turned out that she really wanted to die!
Back then, she and Bo Qing fell in love and became a righteous path couple, they were a legend in the five regions.
Sword Immortal Bo Qing was extremely talented, he was invincible in the world, people called him the 'pseudo Immortal Venerable who split the five regions with his sword, he was fortunate to live for the sake of love'.
Looking at the world, looking at his life, the only thing in front of him was the supreme goal of advancing to rank nine.
However, advancing to rank nine was extremely dangerous, even a grand sword immortal would feel like he was walking on thin ice, he only had a fifteen percent chance of success.
Bo Qing had lofty ambitions, he was determined to advance to the peak of rank nine. Mo Yao could not persuade him, she could only help with the preparations with tears in her eyes.
Bo Qing set up his inheritance and made arrangements for his funeral, his first attempt failed and he was heavily injured for seventy years, he was bedridden and could not move at all, it was Mo Yao who took care of him.
After his injuries healed, Bo Qing wanted to advance to rank nine again.
Mo Yao knew this was difficult, especially at the final hurdle of advancing to rank nine, there would be endless earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations descending. Even though Bo Qing had unparalleled battle strength, he lacked stamina.
In order to help her lover, she secretly betrayed her sect and targeted 88 Point Zhenyang Tower.
88 Point Zhenyang Tower was the arrangement of a famous Immortal Venerable, Long Hair Ancestor's work, it was the number one Immortal Gu House in the world. Mo Yao had started researching it long ago, he gained insights from it and deepened his refinement path grandmaster attainment.
Even though she was only a variant human and did not have Giant Sun's bloodline, during Giant Sun's era, Spirit Affinity House had consecrated many outstanding women who became Giant Sun Immortal's concubines. Among them, there were several female Gu Immortals who had obtained Giant Sun Immortal's favor.
Thus, Spirit Affinity House kept many of Giant Sun Immortal's secrets, among them, they knew even more about 88 Point Zhenyang Tower.
From these documents, Mo Yao learned the secret of 88 Point Zhenyang Tower.
Imperial Court Blessed Land was located in the center of northern plains, it was vast and had two heavens, it was also separated into the black and white heavens, it had the effect of 88 Point Zhenyang Tower, it was extremely blessed. Thus, every once in a while, it would attract extremely fierce earthly calamities and heavenly tribulations.
Giant Sun Immortal considered this, when he constructed 88 Point Zhenyang Tower, he put in a 'divert disaster Gu', it was an important foundation of 88 Point Zhenyang Tower.
This Gu was rank seven and was one of the essence of Giant Sun Immortal's luck path, it could divert the heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities in Imperial Court blessed land to the outside world. This way, it formed the ten year blizzard calamity that spread throughout the whole of northern plains.
Conversely, Giant Sun Immortal used the ten year blizzard calamity to set the rules, forming the tradition of the contest for Imperial Court.
Mo Yao found a loophole that was not a loophole at this point.
It turned out that Imperial Court blessed land and 88 Point Zhenyang Tower coexisted, every ten years, it would attract vast and powerful heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities. At this time, Imperial Court blessed land needed to open a crack and use divert disaster Gu to divert the calamities and tribulations away.
Imperial Court blessed land was set up by Giant Sun Immortal, only mortals could enter and exit, Gu Immortals were not allowed to enter. But when divert disaster, Imperial Court blessed land would open a crack and flood of calamities and tribulations would be released, the Immortal Venerable's arrangement to prevent Gu Immortals from entering and leaving would not work.
Mo Yao used this crack and risked her life to go against the calamities and tribulations to enter Imperial Court blessed land.
She observed for close to ten years, using her grandmaster attainment, after much difficulty, she found the crucial node — it was the small tower at Di Qiu.
Next, she risked awakening Giant Sun's will and destroyed the small tower, using the flow of heavenly power to sense divert disaster Gu and create a cave to brew 'calamity beckoning Gu'.
After successfully refining the incomplete Immortal Gu, she casually set up the Immortal Gu House Water Pavilion in this nameless valley.
Inside, Mo Yao nurtured the incomplete Immortal Gu and brought calamity beckoning Gu, using the blessed land's divert disaster Gu to sneak back to the outside world.
She did not destroy these arrangements as a precaution. If Bo Qing failed in his breakthrough again, calamity beckoning Gu would be destroyed by the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity, then she would enter the blessed land again and refine calamity beckoning Gu.
However, this time, she never came back.
Sword Immortal Bo Qing failed in his second attempt to break through to rank nine, turning into ashes in the mighty heavenly tribulation. And Mo Yao died along with him.
"So that's it. Breaking through to rank nine was extremely difficult and dangerous, Mo Yao secretly set up this inheritance before that. She did not point out the true contents of the inheritance because this action was a betrayal to the sect. But in the end, she still left the clues to the sect. In my previous life, five hundred years later, central continent Gu Immortals conspired against Imperial Court blessed land and destroyed Eighty-Eight True Yang Building, they were using this clue from her. "Fang Yuan recalled it now and immediately felt like the fog had dissipated, everything made sense.
At the end of the ink text, there was a poem —
The path to immortality is long and obstructive, we meet at the ends of the world.
Time passes suddenly, love and hatred have lasted for a long time.
At the end of the path to immortality, I miss my lord's safety.
Life and death are boundless, I return home for my lord's dream.
Evidently, this was written by Mo Yao.
The path of a Gu Immortal is long and difficult, but I was fortunate enough to meet my lord. Unknowingly, love and hatred intertwined, unable to extricate myself.
My lord's gaze was fixed at the end of the path to immortality. My gaze was on my lord.
Advancing to rank nine, nine deaths and one life, I am not willing to be separated by life and death, I am willing to devote my life to my lord, to help him realize his dream!
To protect her lover, to help Bo Qing reach the peak of Gu Immortal, Mo Yao was willing to sacrifice herself, using calamity beckoning Gu to attract the heavenly tribulation and earthly calamity to herself.
"Truly an amazing woman …" Fang Yuan sighed.
Even though he would not make such a sacrifice for love, this did not stop Fang Yuan from understanding such a person.
In fact, this understanding was even deeper than others.
Living in this world, people always had desires, goals, and meanings.
Mo Yao's goal was for her lover. And Fang Yuan's goal was to pursue eternal life.
Different desires, different goals, different meanings, they created all kinds of people in the world, unique heroes and ruthless people.
Fang Yuan's gaze landed on the huge vermilion bowl again.
The cocoon had already been broken, calamity beckoning Gu had completely formed. It was like a cocoon, its whole body was greyish white, it was only the size of a pinky, it was floating in the water.
Calamity beckoning Gu was a genuine self-sacrifice Gu, Mo Yao used it to sacrifice himself for others.
To Fang Yuan, this Gu seemed useless, but it had huge value.
Firstly, it was an Immortal Gu. Even if he did not use it, he could sell it in Jewel Yellow Skies and exchange it for a huge sum of Immortal Yuan stone.
Secondly, it was a luck path Gu worm, it could attract heavenly tribulations and earthly calamities. Calamities and tribulations were strong, but as long as one's body was tough and could endure it, it could be used to harm others.
Finally, it was formed with the help of one of the cornerstones of 88 Point Zhenyang Tower — divert disaster Gu. It and divert disaster Gu could be said to be two sides of the same coin, one was calamity beckoning, the other divert disaster. Just with this relationship, it would be a huge help to Fang Yuan's trip to 88 Point Zhenyang Tower.
However, although there was a layer of restraint in his heart, there was still a hurdle to completely subdue this Gu.
In the ink text on the wall of the bowl, Mo Yao had mentioned it in detail.
To subdue calamity beckoning Gu, certain conditions were needed. Although it did not matter if one was an immortal or mortal, it required the fated person to have a heart of self-sacrifice.
If one did not have such a heart, forcefully subduing it would result in the Immortal Gu's backlash, or even the Immortal Gu's self-destruction, bringing disaster to one's life.
In Water Pavilion, Fang Yuan stood in front of the huge bowl, expressionless.
A heart of self-sacrifice, did he have it?
…
"Cough, cough, cough." Tang Miao Ming covered her mouth with a handkerchief, her brows were tightly furrowed, showing a pained expression.
"Big sister!" Tang tribe's third young master Tang Fang called out, his face filled with pain.
Tang Miao Ming was half lying on the bed, waving her hand, indicating to Tang Fang not to worry.
Tang Fang looked at the blood on big sister's handkerchief, sighing deeply: "Big sister, why do you have to risk your life like this? So what if you pass this round? Father and the rest have already passed away, big sister, you are my only kin, if something happens to you, what will I do? "
Tang Miao Ming stretched out her hand, lightly stroking Tang Fang's hair: "Third brother, you are our Tang tribe leader, don't be so unambitious. In this Imperial Court contest, our Tang tribe suffered disastrous losses, we were almost annexed by other tribes. Now is a once in a blue moon opportunity, we need to borrow the Eighty-Eight True Yang Building to make our tribe strong and prosperous again. "
Tang Fang disapprovingly curled his lips: "But big sister, you forcefully passed the round and caused serious injuries, the gains do not make up for the losses. I, your third brother, feel heartache, these days I don't even have the mood to take care of the tribe's affairs. "
"What?" Tang Miao Ming heard this and her expression turned solemn, her sharp gaze fixed on Tang Fang.
She reprimanded without hesitation: "Tang Fang tribe leader, you have a heavy responsibility, how can you be so sentimental? Revitalizing the tribe is your responsibility, it is the meaning of being a tribe leader. From today onwards, I do not want to hear similar complaints, do you understand? "
"Big, big sister, I was wrong." Tang Fang hurriedly stood up from the bed, his face full of shame as he lowered his head to admit his mistake. Since young, big sister was the one who treated him the best.
Tang Miao Ming's gaze gradually turned gentle, she faintly sighed: "Third brother, I know you have a lively personality, you like to roam the world, living an unrestrained life. But as the last man in the family, you should be brave enough to bear the burden. From today onwards, the meaning of your life is to revitalize the tribe, do you understand? "
"Big sister is right, little brother understands. Don't be angry, I already have injuries on my body. "
Tang Miao Ming was still solemn: "When you return, copy the first stanza of the third chapter of < < The Legends of Ren Zu > > ten times overnight."
Tang Fang's heart was instantly filled with warmth.
Since young, big sister's punishment was to make him copy books.
"Big sister, rest first, I will go and copy now."
< < The Legends of Ren Zu > >, chapter three stanza —
Ren Zu's second daughter, Desolate Guyue, went to Cheng Bai mountain to find success Gu in order to save her father from the door of life and death.
But at the last moment, she failed. She lost herself and became an ugly and powerful monster.
Without his daughter's help, and his eldest son, Verdant Great Sun, became even more dispirited, Ren Zu was trapped in Luo Po valley, unable to survive.
Luo Po valley was like a huge labyrinth, twisting and turning. Occasionally, a vast bewilderment fog would spread out, causing the soul to relax. Sometimes, Luo Po wind would blow like a sharp blade, cutting the soul.
Ren Zu was a soul body, he could not find the way out of the bewilderment fog, the Luo Po wind cut his soul, causing him to become weaker and weaker, his situation becoming more dangerous.
The soul fragments cut by the Luo Po wind gradually condensed into a young man.
Like this, Ren Zu's third son was born.
He was Northern Dark Ice Soul.
"Oh my son, thank you for your company. I do not have much time left, in my final days, because of your company, I am not lonely at all. "Ren Zu sighed.
Northern Dark Ice Soul was cold on the outside but warm on the inside, although he did not speak much, he was very filial towards Ren Zu.
Seeing Ren Zu getting weaker day by day, his mood became increasingly heavy.
He was determined to save Ren Zu.
Ren Zu could feel his determination, he felt gratified and pained at the same time: "Don't bother, my son, I appreciate your filial piety. But I understand now, life and death cannot be forced. Humans have to die eventually, this is the fate of humans. "
Northern Dark Ice Soul sobbed: "Father, I know what you said is right. I also know that my efforts will be in vain. But seeing you getting weaker like this, if I do not work hard, my heart will feel even more terrible. Let me do something for you. "
Ren Zu sighed, he could only let him go.
Northern Dark Ice Soul wandered in Luo Po valley, he was born here, the Luo Po wind could not cut his soul, the bewilderment fog could not block his vision.
He searched bitterly, but could not find the way out.
Just as he was getting more and more desperate, he encountered a Gu worm.
"Aiyaya, to think I was discovered by you." This Gu worm looked like a ladybug, it was fat like a ball, but it was extremely agile, flashing around Northern Dark Ice Soul.
Northern Dark Ice Soul's eyes brightened, he asked curiously: "What Gu are you?"
"My name is accident." This Gu worm answered.
Northern Dark Ice Soul's gaze dimmed: "So you are accident Gu, but you are not success Gu."
Accident Gu sneered: "Young man, don't look down on me. I am an existence that makes success Gu love and hate. The power of accident is very strong. Do you know what it means for you to meet me here? "
"What?"
Accident Gu shook its fat body, saying proudly: "What is this place? This is Luo Po valley, a death realm. You are here, it means you are already dead. But you met me, it means you met with an accident in 'death'. That is — 'rebirth'. Hold onto me tightly, I will bring you back to the human world and revive you. "
"Really?" Northern Dark Ice Soul was overjoyed: "Can I bring my father with me?"
Accident Gu shook its head: "You met me, not your father, so I can only bring you with me."
Northern Dark Ice Soul was extremely disappointed, he rejected: "Since I cannot bring my father, I will not leave either. I want to accompany my father until his final moments. "
Accident Gu laughed loudly, saying in a domineering tone: "The accidents of life cannot be rejected. Young man, you must leave with me! "
The moment it finished speaking, accident Gu forcefully brought Northern Dark Ice Soul away from the door of life and death, returning to the human world.
Northern Dark Ice Soul had a living body of flesh and blood, facing the huge world alone, he felt extremely lost.
Accident Gu disappeared, he suddenly recalled Ren Zu's words, he had a second sister called Desolate Guyue Yin.
At this time, cognition Gu found him: "Young man, don't doubt me, cognition has always been a person's friend, I am here to help you."
Cognition Gu told Northern Dark Ice Soul about Cheng Bai mountain and Desolate Guyue Yin.
Northern Dark Ice Soul decided to meet his second sister first.
When he saw Desolate Guyue Yin, he shed tears of sadness.
Northern Dark Ice Soul tried to communicate with Desolate Guyue Yin. But Desolate Guyue Yin, who had turned into a monster, kept on muttering questions.
"Where is this?"
Northern Dark Ice Soul pondered for a moment before replying: "This is the human world, living beings can move around here. Above us is the sky, below us is the earth. "
"Who am I?" Desolate Guyue Yin asked again.
"You are a human, Ren Zu's second daughter, your name is Desolate Guyue Yin. You are my second sister. "Northern Dark Ice Soul replied.
"Second sister, wake up quickly. Our father is dead, he is trapped in Luo Po valley, we need to hurry and save him. "
"Ren Zu? Desolate Guyue Yin? Save? "The monster shook its head in confusion," Why should I save him? Shouldn't humans die? What's wrong with death? Why do humans live? Why do I live? "
This time, Northern Dark Ice Soul could not answer.
Why do humans live?
While Northern Dark Ice Soul was thinking about this question, bewilderment Gu quietly arrived beside him, causing him to lose his senses of his surroundings.
Along with it were love Gu and disguise Gu.
Cognition Gu saw them and felt an incomparable headache. These Gu were famous for being mischievous, they often moved together, even cognition Gu did not want to provoke them.
"Love, haven't you harmed enough people? Why don't you let them go? "Cognition Gu sighed.
"Don't try to reason with me, I am unreasonable." Love Gu's tone was unruly, "Get lost, cognition, I don't like you."
Cognition Gu was helpless, it could only retreat.
"Another person has come? Haha! "Love Gu saw Northern Dark Ice Soul and was very happy, because it had another target to play with.
It was sworn brothers with disguise Gu, it immediately used its strength to disguise as cognition Gu.
"Young man, your second sister has forgotten herself. If you want to save her, you need to find meaning Gu. "Love Gu said.
Northern Dark Ice Soul came back to his senses, he did not suspect anything, he asked love Gu: "I have seen accident Gu before, may I ask, where is this meaning Gu? How do I find it? "
Love Gu used a solemn tone to deceive him: "Oh human, you need to know, your lives in this world have meaning. As long as you find meaning Gu, you will be able to wake up your second sister. Follow the direction I point, keep walking, keep walking, you will find meaning Gu. "
Northern Dark Ice Soul expressed his gratitude and immediately set off.
Love Gu, bewilderment Gu, and disguise Gu looked at his departing figure and laughed loudly.
How could there be meaning Gu in this world?
There was no such Gu worm, Northern Dark Ice Soul could not find it no matter how hard he tried.
"Fool, who asked you to anger me? I will let you know that the punishment of love is extremely terrifying! Next, we will follow him and take turns to toy with him. "
Love Gu's suggestion was approved by the other two Gu.
Like this, Northern Dark Ice Soul was toyed with by the three Gu, he suffered greatly. But in order to find the non-existent meaning Gu, he persevered.
This spirit moved cognition Gu.
While love Gu was not around, cognition Gu came to Northern Dark Ice Soul's side, wanting to help him again.
"Cognition, what are you doing here? We are having fun. "Bewilderment Gu and disguise Gu rejected cognition.
Cognition Gu laughed: "I am afraid of love, but I am not afraid of you two. Oh young man, use my strength to wake up. "
Northern Dark Ice Soul used cognition Gu's ability to recognize the truth, he was no longer confused and saw through the disguise.
Bewilderment Gu and disguise Gu could only leave in defeat.
Northern Dark Ice Soul expressed his gratitude to cognition Gu: "Thank you, cognition Gu, because of you, I thought of a way to save my second sister."
"Oh? What method is that? "
"In this world, meaning Gu does not exist. But I can create a meaning Gu. "Northern Dark Ice Soul said confidently.
A person's life had no meaning, but it could be given a meaning.
Northern Dark Ice Soul returned to Desolate Guyue and personally created a meaning Gu, placing it in Desolate Guyue's mind.
"I am alive to find success Gu and save father! I understand, I understand! "Desolate Guyue's eyes shined.
…
"The meaning of living …" Tang Fang put down the pen in his hand.
It was already deep into the night, in this Imperial Court blessed land, a gentle silver radiance covered the land.
After continuously copying books, he was deeply moved.
"People living in this world will always feel lost. But as long as they find the meaning of their life, they will find their direction and move forward bravely. At the same time, they will know what they want and what they do not want, and they will not fear sacrifice. Big sister's intention in asking me to copy books is probably this. "
He lightly pushed open the window, looking at the glorious and beautiful sacred palace, he thought of all kinds of people, some strong, some weak.
His emotions gradually became excited: "Every person's life has all kinds of meaning. And my meaning is to lead the tribe towards prosperity! "
…
At the same time, Water Pavilion.
"Heart of self-sacrifice?" Fang Yuan's lips curled into a proud sneer.
He stretched out his right hand, without any hesitation, he reached into the bowl and took out calamity beckoning Gu.
Absorbing his aura, calamity beckoning Gu's body flashed and became Fang Yuan's possession. The whole process was extremely smooth, there were no tremors or backlash.
With his identity as a transmigrator, his five hundred years of experience in his previous life, he had already seen through life and death, family, friendship, and love were not his interests.
Only eternal life, this grand and unreachable goal, could make his journey in life show intense interest.
This was the meaning he had given to this life!
But pursuing eternal life did not mean he was afraid of death, afraid of failure.
Towards death and failure, he accepted it calmly.
In fact, whether eternal life existed or not, there was no evidence to prove it.
But so what if it did not exist?
Fang Yuan enjoyed this process. In the process of pursuing eternal life, he found the meaning, he felt that this life was full of interest.
His body's low level desires, the satisfaction of love and hate, he was already sick of them.
Only eternal life was a worthy goal.
"Thus, I already have the resolution to sacrifice myself." Fang Yuan's gaze was cold, he played with the rank seven Immortal Gu in his hand.
