Plans could never keep up with the changes! Lou Xiaoyi's journey to the Sword Stele was interrupted just like that. This was something he had not expected when he entered! However, for the sake of the overall strength of the Sword Vein, he was willing to sacrifice some of his own benefits. It was just a matter of time. Perhaps as his cultivation level increased, his gains from the Sword Dao Stele would also increase?
The first nine realms of the Sword Stele were still manageable, but the later realms required more from him. When he reached the Three Births Realm, his own strength was not enough. How could he fight with the Crow Ancestor like he did in the Foundation Realm?
Therefore, it was not necessarily a bad thing to let it go! When it came to learning, the greatest taboo was to be stuffed into one's head. In between each knowledge point, there should be time for reflection, rumination, and practice. Cultivators could fully absorb what they had learned during this period of time, allowing these things to truly integrate into their blood vessels and bones before moving on to the next knowledge point!
Therefore, in learning, some people were extremely talented when they were young, but when they grew up, it was because they were too smart and learned things too quickly. They did not seek to understand things thoroughly. On the other hand, those who learned things at an average speed would often erupt with unimaginable potential later in life. There was no other reason. They had thoroughly grasped all the knowledge in the past!
In any case, it was just a mouth. It could be said horizontally or vertically. It all depended on one's situation! If Lou Xiaoyi did not have these trivial matters, of course, he could find a lot of benefits from cultivating in the Sword Dao Stele for hundreds of years. Once he obtained the Dao, the world would know! At that time, he might even be able to kill the Sun Spirit.
However, the problem was that he had these trivial matters to deal with. Therefore, he had to find a lot of other reasons, such as this learning theory! To encourage himself, to support himself, to hint that he was on the right path!
What was the Dao Heart? A one-track mind would never have the Dao Heart! One had to learn to be perfunctory, numb oneself, and please oneself! For all of one's actions, whether they were right or wrong, he had to find a lot of high-sounding reasons! Even if it was far-fetched!
At the very least, it could make one happy! When one day, by luck, one stepped into a high position and had one's own legend, then the self-comforting and numbing oneself in the past would be the Great Dao!
The Dao was very difficult, very profound, and very simple!
One or two months later, he found the largest river in the depths of the northern region, the Bitter Water! Moving up the river, they began to enter the territory of the Heavenly Selection Archaic Beasts, both in name and in reality, the leader of the Xiangliu Clan.
Xiang Liu had the body of a snake and nine heads. The patterns on its skin looked like tiger spots, and its nine heads looked like human faces. He likes to live in places with plenty of water. In fact, in terms of appearance, it was somewhat similar to the Nine-headed Fierce Beast. The only difference was that the nine heads of Xiang Liu were all on the head of a snake, while the Nine-headed Fierce Beast was more like a combination of nine snakes, sharing only the lower half of a snake.
Xiang Liu was a spiritual ancient beast, while Jiu Ying was a monster of water and fire with a strong body. One was the brain, while the other was the fighter. This was their basic position among the Immemorial Beasts.
The middle section of the Bitter River was where the water was the most powerful. It was the territory of the Xiangliu Clan, and Lou Xiaoyi didn't go out of his way to search for it. He simply sent his divine sense out into the water, and before long, a Xiangliu popped up out of the water. It looked a bit angry, but when it saw who it was, it immediately suppressed its usual violent impatience and cautiously approached.
In the Immemorial Beasts, there were high and low positions, determined only by their strength. The Xiangliu Clan, Nine-headed Fierce Beast, Suan Ni, Jiao Duan, and Ba Serpent were all powerful creatures among the Immemorial Beasts. They were close to or even comparable to the Phoenix, Kun Peng, Dragon, and Qilin of the Immemorial Beasts. However, the Dao of Heaven had very strict restrictions on these Immemorial Beasts with innate abilities.
Therefore, neither of these two Immemorial Beasts had more than two digits in population. The latter three had more.
As for the Feiyi, Chiseltooth, Fuzhu, Feilian, and Cheng Huang, these ordinary Immemorial Beasts, they had more than a hundred Immemorial Beasts.
"I'm looking for you, Xiangliu Clan Leader. I have something to discuss with you!" Lou Xiaoyi went straight to the point.
The younger Xiangliu Clan Leader did not dare to be negligent. He knew that this Daoist had a great background. It was very likely that he had secretly escaped from the Unspeakable Place. This kind of person was not someone a clan without a Half Immortal Grandmaster could contend against.
Therefore, the Xiangliu Clan Leader silently led the way. Not long after, they arrived at an underwater cave. It was not exquisite and could not even be considered a building. The Immemorial Beasts did not care about these things. If you made some bricks and stones, they would not be able to live comfortably. This was the common characteristic of the Beasts of Heaven and Earth. No matter if they were fierce or gentle, they were all close to nature.
The Xiangliu Clan Leader came out to welcome him. He was also very curious. What important matter did this human have to come here to look for him? However, there was one thing that he was very clear about. Ever since this human entered the Sword Dao Stele, he was even more certain of the relationship between this Swordsman and the powerful Sword Vein orthodoxy!
The Immemorial Beasts could also grow because they had intelligence! For millions of years, they had also been constantly reflecting. Why did they become failures, come to the Negative Space, and become the Ferocious Beasts in the history of cultivation? Why couldn't they become Sacred Beasts?
It was also because of this reflection that they were not very interested in cooperating with the human cultivators of Heaven's Choice. This was because they felt that Heaven's Choice was not a human force that could dominate the changing of the new era!
They could not sit on the wrong side and take the wrong side again! If they took the wrong side again, they would have to give up at least a few million years! Even if they had a long lifespan, they could not afford to waste so much time!
The human and beast did not exchange pleasantries. Lou Xiaoyi stared at this infamous Immemorial Beast whose strength was actually far above his own. He had the support of his sect, the support of a Ferocious Beast like the Crow Ancestor, and the halo of a cultivator from the Upper Realm. Therefore, he should be the one taking the initiative now.
"Can I trust you?" Lou Xiaoyi said concisely.
Xiangliu Clan Leader faced him directly without retreating. "We won't harm the foundation of the Immemorial Beasts of Heaven's Choice. Master, if you have something to say, please say it!"
Lou Xiaoyi's expression was solemn. "We won't harm the foundation of both sides. This is the cornerstone of our cooperation!
I came here to ask for a shortcut to enter and exit the Heaven's Choice Continent from Lord Xiang. Can Lord Xiang agree to my request? "
The Heaven's Choice Continent, whether in theory or in reality, actually had two masters. One was the humans, the other was the Immemorial Beasts. In these millions of years, there were small disputes and petty misdeeds, but there were no major issues. It was the restraint of both sides.
Ever since the collapse of the Great Dao, humans had strengthened their control of entering and exiting the Heaven's Choice Continent. Especially entering, it was very difficult to avoid the eyes of the Heaven's Choice Humans. Moreover, there was the problem of leaving behind traces through the Heaven's Choice Gravitational Field!
To be honest, Lou Xiaoyi could not solve these problems. Unless he could become a Half Deity, he could only solve the problem of entering and exiting without leaving any traces!
But to bring in dozens of Swordsman was undoubtedly a fool's dream!
But don't forget, the Heaven's Choice Continent still had another master! How could the Immemorial Beasts allow humans to completely control the passage to enter and exit the Heaven's Choice Continent? Considering that the Immemorial Beasts had some inexplicable supernatural powers that they were born with, they must have their own unique way of entering and exiting. It was a way that humans could not control or speculate. Even the Sun God True Monarch could not grasp it.
Lou Xiaoyi did not know what it was, but he knew that it must be something!
