At this time, the sound of fighting broke out in the villages far down the mountain. The battle had entered its most brutal moment. People kept falling in a pool of blood and fire, including Bai Sha's men, and even more members of the Qingshui clan. There were a thousand members of the Qingshui clan.

There are more than 600 people, including about 300 strong warriors who are good at fighting. Although they are not so brave and powerful, there are no less than a thousand people who can take up weapons and fight to the death.

They had made short preparations, but after all, they were rushing to meet the enemy late at night, and the more than 200 men brought by Bai Sha were all elite soldiers who had been specially trained to kill, and the leaders among them all had magical powers. The battle had just begun.

At that time, the two sides were in a stalemate, but when the people from the mountains rushed to the walled city, the scene gradually turned into a one-sided massacre.

The Qingshui clan could not resist the fate of destruction, but even so, most of Bai Sha's men were lost, and some of them were even strong men who mastered magical powers. It can be seen that there are similar masters in the Qingshui clan. Ordinary dead warriors also

That's it, you can recruit and train again, but strong people who have entered the first level and cultivated supernatural powers are often hard to come by. No matter what kind of force it is, this is a heavy loss.

The Qingshui clan received a warning from the mountain god and knew that they would face a catastrophe today. The mountain god told them to use all their strength to fight back! The clans and tribes who have worshiped and believed in the mountain god for generations followed the mountain god's guidance without hesitation. This is reasonable.

The only thing Qingshui can do for his people at this moment is.

At this point, it seems that there is nothing left to say. Bai Sha should know that no matter how he threatens Qingshui today, the other party will not give him what he wants. He has paid a heavy price, and it is meaningless to destroy the Qingshui clan.

At this moment, he could kill Li Qingshui and leave, but Li Qingshui had no power to resist at this moment.

But Bai Sha doesn't intend to do this, because he is unwilling to do so, and the greater the price he pays, the more unwilling he is. The secret secret he wants to get is in Li Qingshui's heart. Even if the Qingshui clan is completely wiped out, as long as Li Qingshui is still there

, there is still hope of getting it.

Although he did not turn around, the distant shouts of killing reached his ears, and Bai Sha also knew how heavy the losses were. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, but then he returned to calm, as if he had forgotten the tragic events in the walled city in an instant.

Fighting, when he spoke again, his tone was like two old friends having a heart-to-heart talk. He had so much to say and ask today, and he just couldn't help it. As long as he cleared the water and was willing to talk, he still had hope of achieving his goal.

Bai Sha sighed and seemed to be talking to himself: "Ignorant people worship ghosts and gods, but they only worship people like us, or things that they themselves don't know whether they exist. I have also seen the so-called mountain gods in the wilderness.

There are quite a few, and most of them are just mountain spirits and ghosts. They open up spiritual wisdom and have some subtle magical powers, and appear to confuse people in order to seek worship.

They either take what they need for pleasure, or they use the offerings and vows to practice ghost cultivation, seeking the path to eternal life. I have seen many powerful monsters and elves claiming to be mountain gods, with different witchcraft and magic, and they are completely on the path to heaven.

It's not the same road. Some people may go further, but some people can't take another step for life. What confuses me is that it is not the more powerful creatures that can go further.

The techniques they practice often come from self-enlightenment or talent, and there are many different methods with no definite way. People like you and me have our own secret methods, so why bother to practice ghosts and mountain gods? So I was not sure that you were really here.

You are a mountain god, but I heard that you have already taken that step and are about to embark on the path to heaven. Is there some mystery in this that the mountain spirits and ghosts in the world don't know, but you have discovered it?"

Li Qingshui, who was sitting with his eyes closed, seemed to have seen through Bai Sha's thoughts at this moment, with a trace of ridicule on his lips, and his voice sounded in Bai Sha's mind again: "What I practice is not the method of ghost cultivation, but the method taught by Emperor Taihao."

The essence of the art, but the step to go to the sacred land of the emperor is indeed related to the experience of the mountain god for a hundred years. This is what you want to know, right? In fact, I have just told you!"

Bai Sha's eyes showed a burning light: "What did you tell me?"

Li Qingshui: "I have lived long enough and witnessed too many lives and deaths and too many things in the world, so I know how many things will happen. People like this are often called wise men, but for me

The words are no longer the result of hard thinking, but are naturally clear and clear, as if the world is changing before my eyes. This is a supernatural power, but it is not a supernatural power. It can also be said to be a return to simplicity. It is what I have gained from being a mountain god in these years."

Bai Sha's gaze became more and more intense, and he asked: "It is said that Emperor Taihao is the best at deduction and can discern the changes in all things. What you practice is the essence of the art passed down to the world by Emperor Taihao. Is it possible that you can break through this?

Supernatural power?"

Li Qingshui: "I didn't, I just vaguely saw a hint of the door. It's not unbreakable at all, but I was interrupted by your disturbance."

Bai Sha: "Even if I don't kill you, you will become a useless person forever. But if you pass on the secret of the Essence Secret and everything you know about exploring the path to the sky, including what you have gained as a mountain god over the years, you will be able to remain intact."

Tell me. Maybe I can try to help you regain your cultivation in the future, and you still have hope of immortality in this life."

Li Qingshui sneered: "What exactly do you want?"

Bai Sha: "Everything, everything you know!"

Li Qingshui: "I also have a question that I'm curious about. Can you tell me?"

Bai Sha: "Please speak."

Li Qingshui: "How did you know that I happened to be in seclusion to survive the calamity and lead people thousands of miles to attack so accurately?"

Bai Sha replied: "It's very simple. Someone in the Qingshui clan has been providing information about you to traders who come to the walled city in exchange for free goods from the traders. But your clan members don't know the purpose of the trader, let alone who the trader is.

I sent you."

Li Qingshui: "My people don't know that I am still alive, let alone that I am the mountain god. How can they provide information about me?"

Bai Sha: "They don't need to know, because I know that you are practicing hermitage in Shudeqiu, and Shudeqiu is here. I have always suspected that you are looking for the successor of Jinghua Jue among the people in the name of the mountain god. I heard that there was a priest not long ago

When I heard the voice of the mountain god, it was said that the mountain god they worshiped would be sleeping for a while, and I didn't know when he would wake up, so I knew the time had come. What I didn't expect was that you are really a mountain god, not just pretending to be a mountain god."

Li Qingshui sighed: "It turned out to be using spies. Unfortunately, my Qingshui clan members probably don't know what spies are."

In this kind of primitive clan tribe in the wilderness, ordinary people really don’t know what a spy is, I’m afraid they haven’t even heard of it, and they don’t even know what faith is. People live in a simple and primitive state.

, no one will lie, no one will betray anyone, or break the promised promise.

Since there was no treachery, everyone had no concept of faith at all, let alone the idea that there is such a thing as a spy in the world. Everything about the mountain god is a secret of the tribe, and the priest does not need to tell anyone to keep it secret. People naturally

will comply.

But today, something like this happened in the ancient primitive clan tribe. Someone privately told the outside merchants about the mountain god's activities, just because the merchants wanted to know this, and the reward was free goods. The most primitive simplicity is also the easiest to be betrayed.

It was broken only because of the simplest inducement. The tribesmen who were inadvertently bribed may not know what this means.

Hearing Li Qingshui sigh, Bai Sha said: "The world is changing, and the clans and tribes in the wilderness cannot remain primitive forever. What happened today is just the beginning, and once it has begun, it will not end. The Qingshui clan will also learn to lie.

And cheating, but I won’t give them this chance anymore.”

Having said this, the sounds of fighting in the distant villages had gradually faded away, and only the wails of women and children still continued. Bai Sha couldn't help but look back, then stared at Li Qingshui and said: "Look at today's battle.

There are also many strong men in the Qingshui clan. It must be thanks to you, the mountain god, that you taught them how to practice.

If the Qingshui clan was just a weak tribe, I might not have the need to destroy it, because I would neither be afraid nor worried. It was you who made the clan strong, so I must eliminate the trouble today. You have been looking for these years.

Although there are descendants of the Jinghua Jue who have passed the first level and know how to practice, no one can master the Jinghua Jue, right?"

Li Qingshui did not answer his question, but asked: "Since when did you start to keep an eye on me?"

Bai Sha looked up at the night sky and seemed to be recalling: "A long time ago, when the old king of the Ba Kingdom was still alive, there was no such thing as the division of the land and the fight for the king. I know that the Ba Kingdom belongs to Emperor Taihao.

It was established by later generations and passed down from generation to generation. However, the last generation of kings did not complete it. However, the Master Li Zheng of that year was also taught it, and it was you!

You first set things straight, and then presided over the Academy of Ba Kingdom. When the old ruler passed away, all the disciples fought, and the Academy was abolished. Then you went around Ba Yuan incognito, and actually cultivated the Jinghua Jue, leaving behind the name of Qingsha.

. But I know who you are, and I also know that your final retreat is here. When I was blocked on the way to heaven and could not see the way forward clearly, I thought of you."

The Essence Technique that Bai Sha mentioned was a secret that Li Qingshui received many years ago. At that time, there were still people in the Ba Kingdom who obtained this secret, but later only Li Qingshui mastered it. Such secrets, even if he has been taught them,

If you have not succeeded in cultivation, you cannot teach it to others, because I neither know the mystery nor master the secret of inheritance.

Therefore, if you want to get the secret of the Essence Secret, you can only find someone who has mastered the Essence Secret. Within the thousands of miles of Bayuan and the surrounding wild mountains, there is only clear water now.

Hearing this, Li Qingshui asked again: "Bai Sha, you are here today only because you have practiced the secret form-swallowing technique taught by Emperor Shaohao. If your magical power is not inferior to mine, why should you ask for the essence technique taught by Emperor Taihao?"

Woolen cloth?"

Bai Sha looked at Qing Shui. He had always had too many questions in his mind and wanted to get answers, but he couldn't find anyone to talk to. At this moment, Qing Sha opposite him was one of the few people who was qualified to talk to him, and it was possible to give him answers.

The person who gave the answer. He finally spoke out what he had been thinking for a long time, and only Li Qingshui could hear it——

Legend has it that in ancient times, the human emperor Taihao built a tree to climb to the sky and opened up the sacred land of the emperor in the heaven. Taihao was therefore revered as the emperor of heaven. The so-called jianmu is said to be a big tree that grows from the human world to the sky.

, many mortals believe that if they can find the location of the building and climb it to the end, they can reach the sacred land of the Imperial City and become immortals.

There are also legends in the world that the reason why Taihao was able to open up the divine land and become the emperor of heaven was because he found the elixir of immortality. If future generations can also obtain the elixir of immortality given by Emperor Taihao, they can ascend to the imperial land and become immortals.

However, experts like Bai Sha and Li Qingshui knew very well that the legend may not be true, it is just a metaphor. The Langgan fruit is the legendary elixir of immortality obtained by Emperor Taihao, but the Qingshui clan, who already owned it, did not use it to achieve success.

Fairy.

Although the Langgan fruit is extremely rare, it is not unobtainable for an expert like Bai Sha. He knows that it is a magical elixir that can help practice, but it is not an immortal medicine that can become an immortal by taking it.

Then the metaphor of building wood and the elixir of immortality should refer to Taihao's path to heaven. Emperor Taihao left the Essence Secret in the world. If you can cultivate the Essence Secret, you can then turn the eight levels and nine levels to the seventy-second level.

If you practice the Path to Heaven to the end, you can cast off your mortal body and ascend to the Imperial City to enjoy eternal life. It can be seen that Jinghua Jue is the real "Elixir of Immortality" left by Emperor Taihao.

But obtaining the Essence Art may not necessarily lead to success, and cultivating the Essence Art may not necessarily lead to reaching the sky. Since ancient times, there have been very few successes. In Bai Sha's view, Emperor Taihao may have just walked the right path by chance, and the guidance he left behind

, but it may not allow future generations to replicate the same success, and those who succeed by chance may just happen to have the same luck.

Bai Sha collected legends from the past and present to test their authenticity, and found no inevitable rules between success and failure. And more importantly, the Jinghua Jue is not the only guide to heaven in the world. The god of Emperor Taihao

Tuya is not the only imperial land of immortality.

For example, Shaohao was born a thousand years after Taihao, and he also opened up the sacred land of Emperor Taihao. The legend in the world is similar. It is believed that Shaohao also obtained the elixir of immortality. However, Shaohao ascended to heaven and did not go to the sacred land of Emperor Taihao.

, but established a new imperial hometown, so he was also revered as Emperor Shaohao.

The secret immortal secret guidance left by Emperor Shaohao is the Swallowing Form Jue, which seems to be completely different from the Jinghua Jue. Bai Sha, who has mastered the Shape Swallowing Jue, is already an immortal on the sacred mountain in the eyes of ordinary people, but he himself knows it very well.

, if you fail to take that last step on the path to heaven, your life will be exhausted in a hundred years.

Although Bai Sha is cruel and cruel, he is a man of great wisdom. He will think about problems that many people dare not even think about. Why can he enter the divine land of Emperor Taihao if he practices the Essence Jue?

If you can ascend to heaven, you will enter the divine land of Emperor Shaohao. Both of them are called immortality by the world, so what are the similarities and differences? What if someone has mastered both the Jinghua Jue and the Swallowing Form Jue?

Emperor Taihao opened up the divine land and left the Jinghua Art, and the subsequent Emperors Shennong, Xuanyuan, Gaoyang, and Shaohao should all have received the secrets of the previous emperors, but they did not embark on the same path to heaven.

, but instead established a new sacred land in the Imperial Land, leaving behind another secret immortal technique.

Each heavenly emperor has his own path to heaven, guiding future generations to the sacred land of the emperor they created. This is what mortals call ascending to immortality. As far as Bai Sha knows, there have been creatures who failed to practice a certain immortal technique.

, after obtaining another kind of immortal power, he ascended to heaven and lived forever; while other creatures who seemed to have almost the same situation had exactly the opposite experience.

From all races and species in the world, there have been living beings who have entered the first realm and practiced cultivation since ancient times. Many of them have not received the secret immortal skills of the Emperor of Heaven. Although they failed to reach heaven in the end, they have gone a long way. If they are given enough time
