Hearing the monk's question, Ye Kong thought for a while and said, "Forget it. I still feel that living a fruit is a little happier. There aren't so many worries and worries. Although it's a short time, from start to finish, I feel very happy."
Thus, in his third life, Ye Kong became a fruit again.
The life of a fruit was very short. Not long after, he was eaten again.
When he met the monk again, he grumbled, "Fruit and fruit farmer, although one is happy, his life is short. The other has a longer life but is unhappy. Isn't there a life that is happy from beginning to end and has a long life? "
The monk smiled, "Then you can be me."
"Monk?" Ye Kong hurriedly shook his head, "No, I don't want to be a monk. I don't think being a monk is a happy thing at all."
The monk asked again, "Then what are you going to be in your fourth life? Fruit or fruit farmer? "
Ye Kong was annoyed and said, "Why is there only fruit and fruit farmer? Is there no other choice? Can't you make my life more colorful? "
Tyrant laughed, "Look at this world. There are animals, plants, humans, and beasts. You can either be a cow or a herder. You will never be able to jump out of this circle. This is because there will always be reincarnation in the mortal world. This is reincarnation. "
Ye Kong only understood half of it, but he had already understood what reincarnation was all about.
In his first three lives, he learned reincarnation.
In his fourth life, he had no choice and let it be arranged.
In this life, he was born in Cangnan Continent and gave birth to a woman. This woman was extremely beautiful, but her fate was not good. She encountered a famine and wandered from place to place. In the end, she ended up on a beach and died of starvation.
In his fifth life, he became a fisherman.
This fisherman's life was very difficult. His family could be said to be penniless with only four walls and nothing. He was extremely poor.
However, he had a very beautiful and virtuous wife. Often, passersby saw that his wife was beautiful and wanted to hook up with her. But no matter if it was a rich businessman, a talented scholar, or a handsome young man … his wife never left him. She stayed by his side until he died of old age.
In the end, he died of old age amidst hunger and cold.
The sixth life. He became a scholar. He was young and handsome. His family was wealthy, and he himself was brimming with talent.
He could say that he was very happy, but he was dissatisfied, because he could not forget a woman. The wife of a fisherman.
That fisherman's family was extremely poor, and he was ugly and vulgar.
He did not understand. How was he inferior to that fisherman? Why didn't that woman like him?
Although he had the looks, the money, and the talent, he still could not get that woman.
He took it to heart, and in the end, he died of depression.
Even after he died, he was still so resentful.
He saw the monk again. He scolded, "Is that woman blind? Did she not know how to differentiate? Could it be that she couldn't differentiate between beauty and ugliness, rich and poor, good and bad? How am I inferior to that fisherman? Why did she treat me like this? "
The monk smiled faintly and said, "See for yourself."
The scene returned to Ye Kong's fourth life, the life in which he was that woman!
After she died, a scholar who was passing by came to her side. Seeing how miserable her death was, the scholar could not help but sigh. He took off his coat and covered her corpse.
But soon, a fisherman came to her side. The fisherman felt pity for her, found a pit on the beach, and buried her.
Seeing this, the monk said, "That scholar is you, and the dead woman is the woman you've been thinking about in your previous life. You and she only have a debt of gratitude, so in this life, she can only return you a debt of gratitude by wearing a piece of clothing. In your fifth life, that fisherman buried her body, so her fate with the fisherman is naturally longer and more lasting. These are all predestined, predestined in the previous life. "
Ye Kong seemed to understand something and nodded silently.
The monk smiled and said, "This is karma."
When Ye Kong used three lives, he understood karma.
In his seventh life.
Ye Kong was surprised to find that he had returned to Southern City. He once again became himself, the foolish Ye Kong.
Everything began anew!
In this life, he did not cultivate. He knew how to cherish things. He did not want the tragedy to happen again, so he worked hard to protect the Ye Residence. Ye Haoran also thought highly of his son. He let him join the army, make him a general, and let him lead troops to war!
However, in a battle with the barbarians, he made a wrong judgment and failed. The barbarians actually used the tactic of luring the tiger away from the mountain. They lured him away and attacked Southern City on a large scale.
In the end, the city was breached.
The Southern City was massacred, and the entire Ye Family was killed. When Ye Kong returned with the army, he found that the prosperous Southern City had been reduced to ruins!
"Father! Mother! "Ye Kong immediately vomited blood and died!
In his eighth life.
He also begged the monk to let him be himself. In this life, he must not let the tragedy happen again.
Thus, he once again appeared in Southern City as the foolish Ye Kong.
In this life, he slowly grew up and became a general again. He learned from the previous lesson and trapped the barbarians outside Southern City. After a bloody battle for several days, he annihilated the barbarian army.
In the end, he pursued the barbarians all the way to the barbarian khan's lair and brought them back to Southern City as captives.
However, when he returned, he realized that the An Kingdom's emperor was afraid that he would become more powerful after his victory. While he was chasing the barbarians, he sent an army into the empty Southern City and destroyed Ye Kong's family.
When Ye Kong returned, the surrounding banners were raised. The An Kingdom's emperor's army surrounded him, leaving him with nowhere to escape.
He committed suicide.
When he saw the monk, he still asked to be himself. This time, he had learned his lesson. Not only did he want to destroy the barbarians, but he also wanted to destroy the emperor!
In his ninth life.
The monk gave him what he wanted again. He returned to Southern City again.
This time, he was extremely careful, as if he was walking on thin ice. He worked hard to develop his power.
In the end, he finally succeeded.
At the age of 50, his army swept through the barbarians. His power dominated the palace, and in the end, he forced the An Kingdom's emperor to step down and became the emperor himself.
However, just as he put on the dragon robe, sat on the dragon throne, and sat upright in the throne room, news came that his father's lifespan had come to an end and he had died. His mother was too sad and could not hold on any longer.
After another few decades, he finally became old. He handed over the power and throne to his son. He stood in the palace with yellow walls and black tiles, looking at the bleak ginkgo tree in front of him. He seemed to understand.
In these three lives, he understood. Everything was empty. Prosperity was really like a fleeting cloud, passing by in front of his eyes. Except for memories, nothing was left.
In the first three lives, he understood reincarnation. In the third life, he understood cause and effect. In the last three lives, he understood that everything was empty.
After the nine lives ended, the effect of the Nine Lives Fruit disappeared. He slowly opened his eyes. However, he was still very confused because he had not found the Soul Formation Realm that belonged to him.
Just like that, he sat there in a daze for five whole years.
After five years, he finally figured something out. He closed his eyes and began to break through!
Condensing the spirit and refining the spirit energy was Qi Refinement.
Refining the qi into the body and nourishing the meridians was Foundation Establishment.
Condensing the qi into reality and transforming it into a core was Core Formation.
Transforming the core into a nascent soul and the soul out of the body was Yuanying.
Perceiving the world, gathering the qi and restraining the spirit was Soul Formation!
Fifteen years in the Mustard Seed Tower, nearly two months outside the Tower of Time. Ye Kong had finally reached Soul Formation!
The Yellow Soil Realm.
The outermost border of the 8,000 Territories was a world of yellow soil. There was yellow soil everywhere. At a glance, it was a vast expanse of yellow soil.
The wind blew and the yellow soil flew. When the wind was strong, the yellow soil would turn into an earth tornado, sweeping through the Yellow Earth Territory. Everywhere it passed, countless yellow soil would be rolled up. The hills would be flattened, and the flat land would turn into deep ravines that looked like knife scars.
Legend had it that a primordial spirit treasure was buried here. This treasure had no other use but to produce yellow soil. The legend could also be true. After hundreds of thousands of years, the area of this realm had grown larger and larger, and the yellow soil had also increased. All in all, it was a solid lump of yellow soil.
It had to be said that the vitality of humans was tenacious. In such a harsh place, there were still humans surviving. However, these humans were not respected by the humans in the other realms. The humans here were called cave dwellers, also known as the Earth Tribe.
After hundreds of thousands of years of evolution, the appearance of the Earth Tribe was like yellow soil. It was best to describe them as the color of the earth. They were very resistant to thirst. Even if they weren't cultivators, ordinary Earth Tribe people could go a year or two without drinking water.
An Earth Tribe person wore a large yellow robe that covered his face and body. From afar, he looked like a yellow soil statue.
He looked up into the sky, and saw a small Star Boat slowly sail into the protective spell formation with loud rumbling sounds. Then, it slowly descended vertically. He hurriedly lifted a heavy wooden lid from the ground and ran underground.
This star ship was the Yin Corpse Demon Sect's star ship. After two months of travel, they had finally arrived at their destination.
The Gloomy Corpse Fiend Sect disciples who had arrived first had already bribed some of the Natives here and cleared out a flat piece of land in the realm. Three Nascent Souls of the Gloomy Corpse Fiend Sect led a group of Foundation Establishment disciples of the Gloomy Corpse Fiend Sect and stood quietly at the side of the flat piece of land, watching the Star Boat slowly descend from the sky.
When they arrived at their destination, Li Biyan and Wu Ganhui were very excited. This was because they were one step closer to obtaining the Ancient Corpse Demon Sect's treasure!
However, in a quiet room in the cabin, Hu Hailong was extremely anxious.
Because Ye Kong had not returned yet. He didn't know where Ye Kong had gone. He only knew that Ye Kong had not returned yet. If someone came in and asked, how was he going to explain?
Just as he was feeling anxious, he heard a rumble from outside. There was a slight tremor in the cabin!
He knew that the star ship had landed.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a voice said, "Fellow Daoist Ye, you're here."
