    ☆、Broken 26

    Looking out from the window in the bamboo building, one can just see a lake with thin ice on the edge of the lake. A few jackdaws are perched on it, flapping their wings and jumping a few times from time to time, and their quacking sounds are endless.

    Duan Zhengzhu stood by the window and heard Yao Ji say: “To be honest, Xing Si also revealed something to me, but he didn’t know much about it after all. He only knew that the matter was related to the emperor, so I just came to find Mr.”

    Xingsi… Thinking of that person, he lowered his eyes, suppressed some of the complexity in his eyes, and sighed: “Well, since you are asking, I have no reason to hide it from you. I just didn’t expect that you don’t know the inside story.”

    Hearing this, Yao Ji couldn’t help but be startled, thinking of her identity: “Could it be that this matter is really related to the Lingxiao sect…my father?”

    “Yes and no.”

    Yes, that old incident was indeed initiated by Shui Han, the last leader of the Lingxiao Sect. If not, it is because it concerns the entire world of cultivation, and even the world.

    Everyone in the world knows that although our world is rich in spiritual energy and is very suitable for spiritual cultivation, it has been hundreds of thousands of years since the dawn of time that no Taoist king or Buddhist Bodhisattva has taken a step forward and successfully ascended to transcendence.

    The reason is not that the heroes in the world after the prehistoric period are not as good as their ancestors, but that the two clans fought in the prehistoric period. Not only did the mountains and rivers shake, and the rivers and seas overturned. In the final decisive battle, the two masters of the human race, Tian Yiyijun and Shenxiu Bodhisattva, worked together to besiege the most powerful demon saint Zuntian in the history of the demon clan. They even broke the sky and unleashed a world-destroying thunderstorm.

    After this battle, the Great Demon Sage Zuntian completely perished. Due to the merits of Heavenly Dao and Shenxiu Bodhisattva, one ascended to heaven and became a Daluo Jinxian. The other transcended and became a Buddha, and also left this world.The two of them are the last golden immortal and Buddha in this world.

    In a war comparable to the destruction of the world, the world here was in turmoil and almost shattered. Before ascending to heaven, Immortal Lord Tianyi and the future Buddha worked together to restore the world, repair the broken sky, and reunite the cracked earth.It’s just that the Nine Heavens have been broken after all, and the laws of heaven and earth have quietly changed. An invisible layer of Gangqi appears above the Nine Heavens, causing any great power to reach the critical point of ascension. Once it passes through the Nine Heavens, it will be turned into fly ash under the power of heaven and earth.

    Therefore, the realm of gods and bodhisattvas has become the highest peak that all monks can climb. Although everyone knows that above the gods is Daluo, and after bodhisattvas there is Buddha. However, once you try to ascend, not only will you not be able to achieve the great path and escape from tribulation and live forever, but you will also fall completely. Naturally, you can only helplessly stay at the current state, with no hope of going any further in this life.

    The turning point of the matter occurred more than four thousand years ago. According to a note written by a monk in the Taoist sect, on the Wushen day of the Gengchen month, for nine days, strange rocks from the sky came to the world, the mountains and rivers shook, and the stars and rivers surged.The so-called strange stone from the sky fell into the hands of the Lingxiao Sect. After years of research, the Lingxiao Sect determined that it could change the laws of heaven and earth and break the aura layer that made countless monks go to their bones and fear them like tigers.

    It’s just that Qishi has fallen into a deep sleep since its birth and has been unable to exert its powerful power. Many powerful experts from the Lingxiao sect worked hard and even discussed with other Taoist sects, and finally came up with a way to wake up Qishi from his slumber.

    That is to use the huge vitality as a sacrifice, supplemented by the Lingxiao branch’s endless rebirth and the origin of all things to stimulate its power.

    Hearing this, Yao Ji felt her heart skip a beat: “Huge anger?”

    Although she has the memory of her original body, she has been in seclusion since she broke through to the Nascent Soul realm. However, the Lingxiao sect did not inform her when confirming this ritual, so she did not know about it.After she successfully escaped from seclusion, the Lingxiao sect had almost breached the mountain gate, so naturally they didn’t know such secrets.

    The subtle meaning in Zhengzhu’s words at this time made her have to think more about using anger as a sacrifice. This is the magic method. This method is indeed effective, but the price to pay is undoubtedly huge.

    “Since it is said to be huge, of course it cannot be counted casually,” Duan Zhengzhu said lightly, “To awaken a treasure that can change the laws of heaven and earth, the price that needs to be paid is terrifying.”

    At that time, the Taoist sect had two choices. One was to select ten Yuanying monks to be martyred in the ceremony, and to use their powerful souls to refine life. This relied on quality.

    To kill millions of mortals, the souls of mortals are like fireflies, but if there are more fireflies, it can be successful even if it is limited.

    “As for how to choose a Taoist sect,” Duan Zhengzhu smiled and looked at Yao Ji, “What do fellow Taoists Shui think?”

    Yao Ji’s lips opened and closed. She didn’t know what to say. She didn’t want to say anything, but she was full of words. In the end, the countless depression and anger just turned into a helpless sentence: “Of course…the latter.”

    Mortals are like ants. Even if there are millions of mortals about to be sacrificed, how can they compare to the ten Nascent Soul monks who are at the top of the world.

    Tens of thousands of years of rule have made the Taoist sect more and more greedy and wanton. At the same time, the subtle influence that started from the time they were born has also made all the people in the Taoist sect form a concept that the law of heaven is impartial and has neither sinister intentions nor mercy.

    Without mercy, from a rational point of view, a monk can destroy cities, destroy countries, and move mountains and seas. The lives of ten Nascent Souls are certainly more important than a million mortals.Changing the laws of heaven and earth can make this world no longer trapped in the Gangqi. In the long run, it will be beneficial to the future generations. It cannot be said that the people who make such choices are just for selfish reasons.

    But to sacrifice millions of innocent people for this is not a terrible callousness.

    “The Dao Sect is rotten from the root.”

    Yao Ji couldn’t help but think of what Shenxiu once said. At that time, she didn’t refute. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to, but that she couldn’t refute.If it were the original person standing here instead of she, I’m afraid this woman named Shui Yao wouldn’t find any problem with this choice.

    But even so, this is not the reason why the Taoist cultivators were driven out and killed.Just as Shenxiu thinks about it, all living beings are equal, and these living beings include both ordinary people and Taoist cultivators who have been arrogant and blessed.It is not any one person or institution that can decide he’s life or death. The Taoist monks who once took life and death can’t, and neither can Shenxiu.

    She let out a long breath: “It must have been because of this leak that the Buddhist master created the Shenwu Formation, so many casual cultivators raised their flags of rebellion, and the war broke out.”

    Because of the war, the Dao Sect’s plan to awaken the strange stone outside the sky was naturally shelved. And the strange stone was so important that after the destruction of the Lingxiao sect, it either fell into the hands of the emperor or was probably in the Tongmingyuan.

    As expected, Duan Zhengzhu said: “A great war led to the decline of the power of the Taoist sect. Even if we could gather ten Nascent Soul monks before, it will not be enough in the future. Since there are not enough Nascent Soul monks, we can only choose to kill many mortals. Shenxiu naturally refused, so at his request, I, Rosen, and he swore an oath to seal the strange stone and never touch this taboo.”

    Just twenty years later, the once-high-ranking Taoism fell from the altar and changed from the oppressor to the oppressed.Today’s situation seems to be a bit more difficult than before.Shenxiu wants to change the world, but he doesn’t know that power moves people’s hearts. As long as people are alive, they have desires, and they want to fight for and squeeze them.The person who hated those in power the most in the past may one day turn into the person he hates the most.Just like the emperor Rosen, when he started the rebellion, he also felt the injustice of the world and had a fierce heart. But now, he personally killed Shui Han who wanted to touch such a taboo, but he could not suppress his desire and embarked on the same path as Shui Han.
