Chapter 522 The situation is grim
"Ghost Cultivation?" Mo Tiange was puzzled. All things in the world have different paths of cultivation. Human cultivators have Taoism, demons, Buddhism, Confucianism, and other branches, and they have also derived swords, martial arts, talismans, and doctors. Monsters also have their own paths of cultivation and eventually become demon cultivators. However, Mo Tiange has never heard of ghost cultivators.
According to legend, after a person dies, the soul will become a ghost after leaving the body, and the ghost will have the power that humans do not have. But this is just a mortal imagination, which is not the case in the eyes of those who practice immortals. For those who practice immortals, humans are composed of bodies and souls. They do not care about the soul because the soul has no power. Moreover, once the soul leaves the body, it will lose the memory of life and re-enter the cycle of reincarnation, so there is no ghost.
The theory of reincarnation belongs to the inherent laws of heaven and earth, and no matter how high their cultivation level is, they cannot reach it.
Miao Yidaojun felt it was difficult to explain this ghost cultivation matter and said, "You two junior brothers and sisters, why not talk about it later. Now is not the time."
Mo Tiange looked around. There were so many people around him, and it was indeed not an opportunity to talk, so he stopped asking more questions.
Not long after, the discussion ended, and the two of them followed Xuanyin and Miaoyi and returned to their place to settle down.
The place where they temporarily live is right next to Wanhe Tower, a quiet courtyard with strict restrictions.
As soon as he returned to the courtyard, Xuan Yin Daojun couldn't wait to ask: "Junior Brother Shoujing, why did you come back for so many years?"
Mo Tiange traveled through the clouds, and these Nascent Soul monks knew about it, including the fact that the undersea passage was destroyed and Qin Xi decided to cross the sea to search. But unexpectedly, Qin Xi had not returned for decades when he left.
Over the past few decades, they could only speculate on their situation from their natal lamp. Shortly after crossing the sea, Qin Xi's natal lamp suddenly became dull and dark, probably because he was seriously injured. Later, the natal lamp slowly stabilized and returned to its light. After that, whether it was him or Mo Tiange, although the natal lamp occasionally became dark, it showed no sign of its extinguishing.
This made the Nascent Soul Cultivators of Xuanqing Sect very puzzled. The natal lamp had no effect, which means that although they were injured, they would soon recover. Why did they not return for decades? If Mo Tiange had not been able to cross the sea before, then after Qin Xi left, this problem would not exist. It would not take decades for them to encounter it, right?
In the end, they could only guess that they were trapped by something and could not come back for the time being.
Qin Xi smiled bitterly and said, "It's not that we don't want to come back, but that we can't come back."
As he said that, he briefly told the story of Guixuhai, and Xuanyin Daojun and Miaoyi Daojun were surprised and sighed.
"I didn't expect that there was such a secret place in the clouds," said Xuan Yin Daojun, "Fortunately, you have a deep blessing. Not only are you not trapped in the Immortal Palace, but you also have a blessing in disguise and have a great opportunity."
But Miaoyi Daojun said to Mo Tiange: "Junior Sister Qingwei, you are too brave. Before you have a baby, you dare to deal with so many Yuanying monks, including so many Yuanhou monks! What should I do if something goes wrong?"
Miao Yidaojun's tone was a little blameless, but it was care. Mo Tiange felt warm in his heart and smiled and said, "There is nothing I can do. At that time, I didn't know that my senior brother had also come to Yunzhong, and I couldn't find a shortcut to return to Tianji, so I had to find a way to advance to the Nascent Soul and cross the South China Sea. Moreover, with the senior Fu Yaozi planning for me, those Nascent Soul cultivators could not do anything to me."
"That's right, but are you so sure that that senior has no bad intentions?" Xuan Yin Daojun shook his head and disagreed very much. "Fortunately you won the bet, but doing this is too risky."
"Yes, if there is any further incident, I will definitely think carefully." Mo Tiange didn't argue much about the two senior brothers and sisters.
"After that being said, those major sects in the clouds are also too bullying!" Xuan Yin Daojun said unhappy, "If it were in the heavenly world, how could they allow them to treat Junior Sister Qingwei like this!"
Regarding this matter, Mo Tiange was not so angry, and just said, "Everyone has their own position." After that, she asked, "By the way, what's going on with the ghost cultivator that Senior Sister Miaoyi said? Is there really a ghost in this world?"
"Of course there are." Miao Yidaojun smiled, "Although Qingwei, you are already a Nascent Soul monk, you are still young, so it's not surprising that you don't know..."
As he said that, Miaoyidaojun told the story.
When the soul leaves the body, it will lose its memory and become a mass of energy that is ignorant and unconscious, without independent ability, and then enters reincarnation. This is something that is known to the world of immortal cultivation. But in special circumstances, for example, if the soul has a strong obsession before death, there is another possibility: the soul leaves the body, but still has an independent consciousness.
Since you have the sense of independence, you can practice. Just like a monk advances, your strength becomes stronger and stronger, and you will eventually become a ghost body and become a ghost cultivator.
Most of the ghost cultivators have no memories of their lifetime, but they also have ghost cultivators with strong obsessions, which retain some of the memories - this type of ghost cultivator is the most powerful.
The emergence of ghost cultivators is very difficult. First, you must have a strong enough obsession so that your soul can retain your own consciousness, which is less likely than the mortals to have spiritual roots. Second, you must also know the method of cultivation. If you do not know the unique method of ghost cultivators, even if the soul that retains its own consciousness will slowly lose energy as time goes by, and finally enter the cycle of reincarnation ignorantly.
The method of cultivation of ghost cultivators has almost been lost in the sky, so naturally there will be no ghost cultivators. Therefore, most monks do not know the existence of ghost cultivators, even some Nascent Soul cultivators.
"We originally thought that ghost cultivators would no longer exist, but we didn't expect that this time, this time, there would be a continent where demon cultivators and ghost cultivators would appear!"
"What's going on?" Qin Xi asked, "Where is our Tianji? What's going on in this continent?"
Before Yuanzhou moved, the clouds disappeared, Xiao Yang appeared in the clouds, and the demon cultivator continent was also discovered. He and Mo Tiange had long guessed that Tianji was not in their original place, but unexpectedly, a new continent appeared around Tianji.
Xuanyin Daojun said: "...Let me say so, the South China Sea is now in the northeast of the Tianji."
The South China Sea was originally south of Tianji, and now it is northeast of Tianji... So, has Tianji moved a whole continent to the southwest?
Mo Tiange thought for a while, reached out to draw with spiritual energy on the desktop.
First draw Yuanzhou, south of Yuanzhou, there is the Demon Cultivation Continent, north of Yuanzhou, there is Xiaoyang. Xiaoyang is the original position in the clouds, that is, the north of Xiaoyang is the South China Sea. Taking the South China Sea as a reference, the Tianji should now be west of Xiaoyang and northwest of Yuanzhou.
After drawing this place, Mo Tiange paused and asked, "Where is this new continent? How big is it?"
Looking at the spiritual map on the table, Xuanyin Daojun and Miaoyidaojun showed surprise on their faces. Miaoyidaojun asked, "Junior Sister Qingwei, where did your map come from?"
Mo Tiange said: "I found out when my senior brother and I were trapped in Yuanzhou. According to people in Yuanzhou, the clouds disappeared and Xiaoyang appeared in the original position of the clouds. I thought about it, then Tianji should be here."
The two Taoist lords thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Miaoyi Daojun reached out and used spiritual energy to draw a circle under the Tianji, saying, "The continent we are talking about is here, about half the size of Tianji."
Mo Tiange and Qin Xi looked at it and according to the paintings of Miaoyi Daojun, this continent and Tianji were connected together, and the connection location... is the south of Kunzhong City!
No wonder the major sects have taken over Kunzhong City, so that's it!
The two suddenly realized that there was a vast forest south of Kunwu, and this forest was the territory of monsters. And this new continent happened to appear south of the Tianji and was connected with the forest.
They understood why so many Nascent Soul monks gave up their practice and gathered together.
The cultivators at Tianji have never been afraid of demon cultivators. For more than 100,000 years, they have fought with each other, but they have maintained a relatively balanced situation. But now it is different. On this new continent, demon cultivators and ghost cultivators live in, and are connected to the forest. This means that the territory of demon cultivators has greatly expanded, and the balance of the past has been destroyed.
Miaoyi Daojun continued: "This continent is very strange. They have mortals, ghost cultivators, monsters, monster cultivators, but no immortal cultivators."
"How could this happen?" Qin Xiqi said, "Since there is a ghost cultivator, it means that there is a ghost cultivator in this continent. At the beginning of this ghost cultivator's birth, wasn't it just that the immortal cultivator retained the original memory and created the ghost cultivator's method?" He probably knew something about ghost cultivator. Even if mortals retained the original memory, it was impossible to create the martial arts before the energy disappeared. Therefore, the initial ghost cultivator came from the soul of the immortal cultivator after his death.
"Your junior brother, you are not wrong to say this." Xuan Yin Daojun smiled bitterly, "But that's the truth. After this continent appeared, we sent people to investigate, but we didn't find anyone who cultivates immortals, but there are many ghost cultivators."
If something goes wrong, you will be a monster. However, you can only understand this matter slowly, and they will not be able to know the truth at once.
"So what's the current situation?" Mo Tiange asked, "So many Nascent Soul Cultivators gathered together, could it be that those demon cultivators united?"
"Yes." Miaoyi Daojun nodded, "After this new continent appeared, we found that the demon cultivators in the south forest were united with the demon cultivators of this continent. Over the past year, these demon cultivators have been ready to move. Although there are no large-scale attacks, there are many small-scale conflicts. Especially in the past few months, high-level demon cultivators often attack, and even the Nascent Soul cultivators have fallen. With the major sects together, if we do not take measures, we will be defeated by the demon cultivators sooner or later. It is better to take the initiative to attack and use attack as the defense."
"……I see."
There are not many high-level demon cultivators in the forest to the south, but if this new continent is added, there are only a lot more Nascent Soul cultivators in Tianji. The situation is so serious that it will be too late if the real conflict occurs.
No wonder Miaoyi Daojun said before that it would be great if it was just a monster of monsters. Now, the monster of monsters has expanded several times. If the monks from Tianji are not gathered together, they are afraid that they will perish. (To be continued.
