The peerless black hand that covers the sky

Chapter 1172 A Sword That Severed Reincarnation!
"You've forgotten your roots as soon as you've settled down, haven't you?!"

Chu Feng's lips twitched; this was truly too abstract!
Before they left the water, they talked about ideals, beliefs, passion, and courage... But after they left, they forgot their roots, became hypocritical, and started exploiting others...

“After all, you can’t stop others from pursuing a better life!” Ryoma said matter-of-factly.

In the past, it could see very clearly.

Those ancient emperors and rulers, though of noble character, fought to the death for the sake of all living beings, and were undeniably virtuous... But when a demon ancestor came and offered the temptation of "bitter leaves," didn't they all waver?

Trust in Ye Fan's wisdom!
Thus began her irreversible journey with "bitter leaves".

Even later, when Ye Fan was destined to defy the heavens and achieve unimaginable ultimate success, if he had stopped there, he might have ended up with a "good death".

however……

The powerful figures of Ku Ye would rather believe in their future selves' wisdom and that their future selves would be able to escape from the hands of the real Ye Xiezu than eat even half a piece of "Ye's Blood Bun"!
People die for wealth, birds die for food... This has always been true!
it's good now.

The fates of the Bitter Leaf Sect's Immortal Emperors are unknown, their whereabouts unclear, and they are perhaps suffering unimaginable torment, perhaps even worse than death...

Longma sighed.

It knows all too well that if God gave it another chance, another chance to start over... its "colleagues" would still repeat the same mistakes!
Without the slightest fear of the previous failure, I decided to turn over a new leaf and start afresh. The only regret was that the bitter leaves weren't strong enough last time, and I was heartbroken that I couldn't achieve the ultimate goal of the sacrificial path in one go, let alone reach the sacrificial path...

If God really gave me another chance, this time I would say—go all out!
The main theme is being unrepentant and refusing to turn back even after hitting a wall!

Bitter leaves, there's only the difference between zero times and countless times, it's like a rolling boulder on a high mountain, once you start, you can never stop.

Human desires are the same.

For the vast majority of living beings, what does it matter if they forget their roots if the benefits are great enough?

“Chu Feng, not everyone is like you, with that talent, able to create techniques and pave paths so easily…” Long Ma said, “One step at a time is the norm… Normally, even countless years of arduous cultivation may not be enough to break through the shackles.”

"The future is dark, with no light in sight... At this point, even if it's a crooked path, we have no choice but to try it!"

"Just like right now... these young people are indeed amazing. As beings on whom their Immortal King Ancestor placed high hopes, each of them has the potential to become a king."

"However, the giants have almost reached their limit. If they want to break through to the level of king and become emperor, they really need some kind of opportunity."

"Either memory infusion or some unorthodox method... Unorthodox methods are certainly bad, but is memory infusion necessarily a good thing?"

Longma could understand, after all, it had also been stuck in front of the Immortal Emperor's gate for a very long time.

"Ugh……"

Chu Feng sighed softly, "Forget it, I haven't experienced other people's suffering, so I shouldn't advise them to be kind... I won't concern myself with these matters anymore."

"But I've heard it said that those who play with fire get burned, and those who are good swimmers drown... Do you think they can make it to the end on this path?"

Chu Feng's eyes gleamed with interest; he was very intrigued by this question.

"Furthermore, they can certainly make a fortune by impersonating their ancestors and profiting from both their predecessors and successors... But in this world, heroes and geniuses are as numerous as fish in a river, and sooner or later someone will be able to see through the truth and take action against them!"

"Will they still be able to handle it calmly then?"

"Finally, this generational showdown between the old man and the young man... Fellow Daoist Longma, which side do you favor?"

“…Anything is possible.” Longma said after a moment of thought. “As for sniping…they have the advantage of going first. As long as we don’t get greedy, we still have a chance to make a run for our lives.”

"And a generational clash... tsk!"

Ryoma's eyes flashed, "Old Deng might lose this game, but it's unlikely that Old Deng will actually lose..."

"???"

A series of question marks practically appeared on Chu Feng's forehead!

What kind of Tang Dynasty language is this?!

He couldn't help but glance at the top of Ryoma's head... and his head wasn't pointed either!
"I said Harden would lose because the number of Harden players is ultimately limited. The future belongs to the young, generation after generation, endlessly..."

Longma said slowly, "Therefore, the era of Old Deng will come to an end, and this camp will lose!"

"But when it comes to each individual Deng, the outcome is uncertain!"

"As you can see, a group of young people performed a magical transformation right in front of you, turning into Old Deng..."

Is there any possibility?

"Old Deng can switch sides and become a young guy?!"

boom!
At this moment, Chu Feng felt as if thunder was rolling in his heart.

ha?
Following the example of young Jay using his own ancestors as front men, will there be an older, less experienced individual who pretends to be young and infiltrates young Jay's ranks?!
What an incredible job hopping!
Chu Feng wanted to refute and complain.

However, an inexplicable, primal instinct stirred within him, causing him to swallow his words.

Unbeknownst to him, Chu Feng's expression changed, and he himself was unaware of how serious and solemn it had become.

"No... that's unlikely, isn't it?"

Chu Feng forced a question, "Old Deng can do it too? How?"

He stared intently at Ryoma, his face slightly pale.

Longma was startled and confused as to why Chu Feng was reacting so strongly.

It swallowed hard. "You and I both know that this is a characteristic of this era: the 'memory infusion' is poisonous, it can be a sugar-coated bullet, and it's impossible to guard against it..."

"To revive in the spirit of others, to permeate one's own will, to cover one's own values... and ultimately to naturally refine an incarnation."

“That’s one method… but there’s another, one based on the law of bloodlines.”

"The life imprint of ancestors is revived in the blood of descendants. Theoretically speaking, it is a part of the origin of life of descendants, occupying only a negligible share."

"However, there is a special case called 'atavism' in this world, where the characteristics of a certain ancestor become dominant, and that part of the life imprint is more active than ever before."

"What if... it's a combination of memory infusion and bloodline atavism?"

The dragon horse whispered, sensing that something was wrong with Chu Feng at that moment, and then offered a serious explanation.

"The ancestral bloodline, the memories of empowerment... all converge on the same vessel. If this is combined with the 'gifted' Dao fruit, a small cycle will occur within the human body, resulting in annihilation and rebirth..."

"At that time, it was like a cuckoo occupying a magpie's nest... On the surface, he was still that young and outstanding person, but in reality, his insides had been hollowed out and transformed..."

"The ancient ancestors calmly hid themselves, joining the ranks of the young to steal the fruits of victory..."

Longma said softly, "They know that the advantage they once built by occupying the upper echelons of the bloodline will inevitably be destroyed by the wave of youth. This is the trend of the times, and it cannot be stopped..."

"With the concept of spreading seeds throughout time, not to mention Immortal Kings, even Quasi-Immortal Emperors can't reach that far. They can't control the river of time, and they don't have the ability to imprison their descendants in a cage and control them clearly as they did in the past..."

"There are bound to be some who slip through the net, active in some unknown world, perhaps even in the past or future..."

"When all the young people in all the worlds have chosen this path, how can the decaying old men who fight alone in each world resist?"

"Since that's the case, why not secretly erode and possess someone, using a new identity to learn new ideas and theories..." "Ultimately, let the chosen young being step over their own 'corpses,' take their own 'spoils,' and become one of the leaders of the new era as a result of their achievements..."

"In reality, it is about destroying one's own era and overthrowing one's own rule."

"Behind the scenes unknown to the public, he remains aloof and powerful, only with a different face..."

Longma began to explain in detail.

It followed the Demon Ancestor and the Evil Ancestor... Although it is only a Quasi-Immortal Emperor, it cannot be taken lightly!

As it recounted its own speculations, Chu Feng fell silent, his mind becoming still.

Putting himself in Chu Feng's shoes, he felt as if a peerless black hand had appeared out of nowhere, its sinister nature boundless!
"...Some people didn't think of this approach, but surely others did..." Ryoma murmured, "So, the Old Deng Alliance is a done deal..."

"First, block the young man's brilliance to buy time, then secretly and calmly arrange a backup plan to seize his body and be reborn..."

"Finally, he betrayed and abandoned the entire alliance, becoming the leader of a new faction..."

"That's what Longma said."

Chu Feng listened, stunned, and after a long, long time, he let out a long sigh.

"call!"

His expression was inscrutable and complex, as if a thousand words were churning within him.

Finally, he gave a wry smile, "It's too dirty!"

"If that's the case..."

If that's the case, he suddenly felt that the incident where a group of young people used their ancestors as fronts was not such a big deal.

It's just dogs fighting!

串！
You can string them together!

play!
They can act in anything!

"The moral order has collapsed!"

Chu Feng shook his head.

“Is there a way to crack it?”

He asked, his expression very serious.

Longma was puzzled... It didn't seem like Chu Feng was someone who needed to worry about this situation.

But it still spoke.

"Yes, brother, yes!"

Its words made Chu Feng's eyes light up instantly!
"In prehistoric times, there once was a sword!"

Longma said solemnly, "Perhaps it can't be called the strongest, nor can it be called a forbidden technique. It doesn't have that kind of unparalleled combat power that can sweep across all worlds."

"However, it shone brightly and brilliantly, moving even the former Emperor Ye Tian... because, under that sword strike, the almost indestructible and immortal nature bestowed by the Golden Core Technique and the Cycle of Reincarnation was utterly destroyed!"

"Because this sword... severs the cycle of reincarnation!"

Longma said solemnly.

A sword that severs the cycle of reincarnation!
This is a celestial being of unparalleled elegance, created specifically for the cycle of reincarnation.

That celestial being's life was quite remarkable.

Whether in his past life or this one, he has always been on the path of fighting against the "corpse calamity".

A bizarre and ominous corpse plague, a corpse plague caused by the Reincarnation Seal...

After killing until his sword went dull, he had an epiphany.

—As long as the cycle of reincarnation continues, the scourge of corpses will never be eradicated!

Therefore, with the "active" cooperation of a whetstone, he forged a sword, constantly polishing it, ultimately only to... break free from the cycle of reincarnation!
"What is the purpose of severing the cycle of reincarnation? It is to redefine the concept of the true spirit..."

"People only know that when people die, they become ghosts, and ghosts will eventually reincarnate... The core of a ghost, the vessel of a ghost, is that undying true spirit."

"It is this very essence that grants all living beings a unique kind of immortality; it is an unsinkable vessel for crossing the world!"

"Each lifetime, each different life, is merely a passenger on this boat, and will eventually drown in the sea of ​​suffering of reincarnation."

"Unless one can become an Immortal Emperor, then one can be considered independent and detached from the boat..."

"From this perspective, the true spirit is the vessel of eternal life, but isn't it also an eternal prison?"

"The true spirit is the only truth; those different lives in each lifetime are illusions, and none of them have any absolute meaning..."

"However, long, long ago, there was a flaw in this ironclad rule of reincarnation that was not a flaw... The pollen particles drifted by, capturing a moment of splendor!"

"The cycle of reincarnation continues, but the pollen particles leave behind an indelible memory for the lifetime that condensed them..."

"But this is still one-sided; it can only preserve the most brilliant aspects of humanity: passion, conviction, and courage..."

"So, some people wonder... why must it be magnificent? Why must it be moving and tragic? Why must it be heroic and courageous?"

"Why can't even the most ordinary and insignificant part of a life have its own meaning?!"

"Live in the moment, live in the thought, live in the longing..."

Longma's voice was ancient and weathered, "The ghost is a person's final judgment upon death, and also the greatest liberation in terms of physical form..."

"And when that sword strikes, severing the cycle of reincarnation, the final judgment of the ghosts is the greatest liberation from the cycle of reincarnation..."

"pity."

"Such a sword strike has been buried in the dust of history."

Ryoma finally said, "After all, not everyone has the determination to reproduce this sword... Moreover, many of the characteristics of this sword have been extracted by others and made their own."

"Oh?" Chu Feng's eyes lit up. "What do you mean?"

“It’s like a memory infusion…” Longma said, “In fact, some of the core concepts here are inseparable from that sword strike.”

"That was a sword that liberated us from the cycle of reincarnation, and also a sword that made everyone a dragon... In the blueprint drawn by that sword, everyone no longer had the thick barriers between their hearts, and all wisdom could be shared. It meant that as long as one person became an Immortal Emperor, everyone would be an Immortal Emperor..."

"Great harmony, great inclusiveness, no distinction between one another..."

"I think the current era looks pretty good..." Chu Feng's eyelids twitched wildly, and he suddenly didn't think the era of the main god was so abstract anymore!
Although this era has all sorts of evil ways and crooked practices... compared to the blueprint that Longma spoke of, it is still too normal!
After all, what kind of sword strike was that?
He severed the cycle of reincarnation and killed the true spirit, but perhaps he also killed himself along with it!

“Okay, maybe that’s a bit extreme…” Ryoma said, “but it is indeed a targeted attack against the Reincarnation System!”
