Changsheng: I, Cao, can see the prompt

Chapter 689: Discarded

Linglong seemed to still hold on to a glimmer of hope: "Master, do you really want to cut off everything you have in the past? Then you will no longer be yourself, and what's the difference between that and death?"

Hearing this, Cao Wei simply chuckled, flicked his sleeves casually, and all things retreated, completely blocking the gazes of San Sheng and Ling Long.

From then on to the end, Taoist Boyang never showed up.

Seeing this, Linglong seemed to have aged a bit, and said with melancholy: "Sansheng, you know that my master is too fond of cleanliness, and cannot tolerate even the slightest stain on himself. He once said with a smile that the reason he practiced cultivation was to keep dust away from his body, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable all over."

"Xuan Hong too." San Sheng said slowly.

"But he doesn't have the arrogance that my lord has that looks down on the world." Linglong sighed softly.

Speaking of this, He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Back then, Zhu Ying separated the origin of the corpse from the Half-Step True Immortal Dao Fruit, and Xuan Ji secretly awakened Meng Ji's true spirit, led out a virtual spirit from the Consciousness Realm Pearl, took the opportunity to merge it with it, and was reborn into the world with the remains of the Qingyang clan."

"Xuanhong looks exactly like Boyang, and this can be hidden from anyone." Sansheng chuckled.

Hearing this, Linglong nodded slightly: "When I paid attention to Xuan Hong, I actually had some doubts in my heart, but also held some hope. But when he bowed down in front of the young Jindan from the Kuiniu clan without hesitation and recognized the little demon as his adoptive father, I gave up this unrealistic idea. My master must not be such a villain who changes his mind with the wind!"

"But you are not the only one. At that time, I was with Zhu Ying, Hei Shan, and they all thought the same. They thought that Xuan Hong was born like this because Xuan Ji did it on purpose." San Sheng nodded.

Speaking of this, He couldn't help but chuckle.

People who practice cultivation, let alone Mahayana cultivators, even Qi-refining cultivators who have just embarked on the path to immortality, can easily change their appearance with their magic power.

That is why, unless they are cultivators who practice special techniques, or if their practice goes wrong, the appearance and figure of cultivators are in line with their own image, whether it is a handsome face, a lush beard, or almond eyes and willow eyebrows...

Of course, there are also monks whose cognition is different from that of ordinary people. There is a big man with a full beard, but he insists on putting on makeup, wearing women's clothes and a red flower on his head; there are also those who make themselves look ugly, but think others are ugly.

There are many different kinds!

Therefore, monks do not judge each other's identity by appearance, but by the fluctuations of their respective magic power and soul. This is similar to ants judging each other by smell.

When they saw that Cao Wei and Boyang looked the same, ancient sages like Zhuying were shocked.

But after observing Cao Wei's words and actions, they made the same judgment as Linglong.

After all, Taoist Boyang left a very deep impression on them. Even if he was reincarnated, he would never be such a shameless person. At least he would not recognize a Kuiniu as his adoptive father.

Hearing this, Linglong also sighed: "Yes, I thought so at the beginning."

“But even though you are so sure, you still hold a tiny glimmer of hope in your heart. Otherwise, when Mingxin first came to the Xuan Realm, he invited you to help, but you refused to give him an answer after three or two kalpas.” Sansheng said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Linglong said slowly, "After all, even if Shakya sacrificed his own flesh and soul with blood, burned up all his Dao fruit, and held on to the sky, he would only be able to hold on for two more Sanyuan meetings, and the affairs of the Linghuan Realm would come to an end. At that time, everything Zhuying did would come to light. If he and Xuanji secretly planned to reincarnate my master, then don't blame me for taking advantage of the opportunity to seize part of the original power of the Linghuan Realm."

"If that's the case, you don't plan to deal with Xuan Ji and just let Him go so easily? You can just cooperate with Sanyuan and kill the traitor who killed his master!" Sansheng said with a smile.

"How can an outsider like me interfere in the affairs between them as master and disciple? Although Xuanji is also a rare hero in a million years, he was still a little short of the right time when he wanted to kill Sanyuan. It was Sanyuan's own will that this happened. The old guy loved Xuanji as a disciple and took the opportunity to share some power at the cost of his own death. Otherwise, how could Xuanji have transcended eternal life in the destruction of Linglong Realm?" Linglong sneered.

Having said this, He walked forward, leaning on a bamboo stick.

As they walked, Linglong sighed softly, "If I didn't even understand this little bit of self-awareness, I would have been tricked and killed countless times by other Taoist friends."

Having said this, He stopped, turned around, and asked, "Did you really kill Taihe and Shuifu at the upper and lower ends of the River of Time?"

"Boyang also helped!" Sansheng nodded.

Hearing this, Linglong shook her head slightly and said slowly, "It's useless. As long as their original bodies are still there, these three spiritual beings in the Six Paths of Reincarnation will not die so easily. As long as all living things in heaven and earth are still there, there will be six paths of reincarnation in the world. They are truly immortal. Otherwise, my Lord could have killed the three of them, but he stopped at the last moment. All this is meaningless."

"We all understand this point very well, otherwise why would the idea of ​​returning to the Wuji come into being?" San Sheng nodded.

"This matter was actually pushed secretly by my Lord and you?" Linglong said.

"However, this method is indeed an alternative way to become an immortal. Once the five spiritual realms are destroyed, you can condense everything in your respective spiritual realms, use yourselves as a furnace, and melt all the ways to help yourself cross that threshold and transform into an immortal." San Sheng said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Linglong said with a fake smile: "At best, he is only a half-step immortal."

“If you could still be with each other…” San Sheng’s eyes were gloomy.

But He didn't continue speaking here.

However, Linglong smiled without hesitation and said, "Those of us who survived the destruction of the spirit world will fight each other, just like raising a Gu. The winner in the end will be the so-called immortal?"

"When no one in the world can guess a person's realm, that person will become an immortal." San Sheng said slowly.

"This is not the immortal I want, nor is it the immortal my lord wants." Linglong said in a deep voice.

Then, He showed a look of sudden realization and sighed, "No wonder, the reason why my Lord voluntarily cut off everything he had in the past was that He did not want to become the person he once hated in order to become an immortal. That is why He used the hand of Candle Firefly to bury himself. Why did it come to this!"

"You also said that Boyang is too fond of cleanliness, which is probably his only weakness. He is too proud. Even the immortals that the world wants but cannot obtain do not have the slightest appeal in his eyes." Sansheng exclaimed. At this point, he shook his head slightly: "You know that I have restarted the era more than a thousand times, and I have never seen a person like Boyang before. From him, I see all possibilities. If it were in the ancient times, as long as Boyang was given time, he would definitely be on par with those innate gods and demons, and maybe even surpass them."

Hearing this, Linglong asked slowly, "Sansheng, why did you fight so hard to protect my master when Zhuying tried to kill him?"

Upon hearing this, Sansheng chuckled and said, "The reason why I took action was not to protect Boyang. Looking at all the realms, no one wants to see Boyang completely destroyed more than me."

"You are such a contradictory person!" Linglong sneered.

Hearing this, San Sheng sighed and said, "If he succeeds, then my Lord will never be able to escape!"

"Sure enough, in the past my lord took over the Linghuan Realm and wanted to suppress the Xinghai Guixu land forever. I'm afraid you don't want to see this happen?" Linglong said slowly.

“Yes, Boyang has been observing the Star Sea Return to the Ruins for more than eight million years. At the beginning, he took over the Linghuan Realm and sacrificed his own Dao fruit. If this move succeeds, it can suppress the Star Sea Return to the Ruins for at least hundreds of epochs.” Sansheng said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Linglong smiled and said, "You restarted the eras one after another, and it's really not just to simply get rid of Taihe, Shuifu and Heishan. You are using the creatures of heaven and earth as nourishment to support your master!"

"There are other innate gods and demons! Now that the great way is not obvious, there are no conditions for them to exist in this era. Once they step out of the land of Guixu and their true bodies appear in the world, it will be the time of their demise!" Sansheng said very straightforwardly.

Linglong lowered her eyes and asked slowly, "What happened in ancient times?"

Hearing this, Sansheng shook his head slightly: "I really didn't know that in that infinite calamity, my master was the last innate god and devil in the ancient times. Before imprisoning himself in the land of Guixu, he brought together other gods and devils who had already fallen into madness, and used his great magical powers to cut off the long river of time and fate."

"How does the Xuantian Great Dao that we have realized compare to the Great Dao represented by those innate gods and demons themselves?" Linglong asked slowly.

“Although I have not personally seen the innate gods and demons in their prime, judging from the vague shadows of the gods and demons that flashed by at the bottom of the Star Sea, there is no comparison between the two.” San Sheng said slowly.

Then he said solemnly: "The Xuantian Great Dao that we have comprehended, no one has yet reached its limit, but those innate gods and demons are born to stand at the end of the Great Dao. However, it is precisely because of this that those innate gods and demons do not have the seven emotions and six desires that we have. They are more like the embodiment of the Great Dao."

"What about Zhu Ying? He has reached a level in the way of mediating the creation of nature that has never been reached before and will never be surpassed." Linglong asked slowly.

"It is true that there has never been anyone like him before, but as to whether there will never be anyone like him after him, that remains to be discussed! Ever since I saw Boyang, I have been full of hope. The world and all living things contain endless possibilities." San Sheng said with a smile.

"There is only one person like my lord in tens of millions of years. This may be too insignificant." Linglong shook her head slightly.

"As long as something is possible and given a long period of time, it will definitely happen. This is destined." San Sheng said slowly.

Hearing this, Linglong nodded slightly. He also thought so about this statement.

On this point, all Mahayana monks who have lived for a long time have almost the same understanding in this regard.

Their life span is far too long to witness all the possibilities in the world. However, they cannot predict the fickleness of human hearts.

However, there are actually certain signs and omens in advance about the behavior of any living being and the choices it will make in the future.

Among countless possibilities, they will push the people and things involved in the direction they want.

After all, looking at the ordinary creatures and Mahayana monks in all realms, the power of the two cannot be compared.

To ordinary creatures, every move of a Mahayana cultivator is equivalent to the irresistible force of heaven and earth.

"What about your master?" Linglong asked.

Hearing this, Sansheng said helplessly: "No matter what changes the creatures of the previous era made, they are always incompatible with this era. The Xinghai Guixu Land is the cage that my Lord built for himself, imprisoning himself and other gods and demons."

"Is Zhu Jiuyin also among them?" Linglong asked with a frown.

"Not only him, there are other gods and demons as well." San Sheng nodded.

“No wonder two or three kalpas ago, Zhu Ying was clearly confident that he could survive the destruction of the Linghuan Realm, but he still couldn’t help but take action and even killed my master.” Linglong said slowly.

Having said this, He then asked, "Will those innate gods and demons ever be able to escape from this predicament one day?"

"Absolutely impossible! In this new era, as the Great Dao disappears, those innate gods and demons should also disperse with it. But they are unwilling to perish. After all, survival is the instinct of any living being, especially in this age full of desires. It's no wonder they would act this way!" San Sheng sighed lightly.

At this point, He said slowly: "Just like Fellow Daoist Boyang, although he had the will to die, his instinctive desire to survive led to the appearance of Xuan Hong."

"As far as you are concerned, Xuanhong inherited everything that my master once had? Then in the past seventy Yuanhui, the countless cultivators who practiced the "Eternal Life Dao Fruit Sutra", do their everything also include it?" Linglong asked.

Hearing this, Sansheng nodded slightly: "Although Boyang's move was to cut off Taihe and the other three from absorbing the power of the living beings in the world and weaken their growing strength, it also caused all of this power to be returned to him. When the "Eternal Life Dao Fruit Sutra" cut off all the laws of the world and became the only way to immortality, Boyang was truly immortal and indestructible. Even if he killed himself, it would be useless."

“With this method, He was already half a step away from becoming a True Immortal. He was just one step away from becoming an Immortal. But no matter how much He suppressed Him, the cultivators in the various realms would unconsciously push Him over and cross this threshold!”

Upon hearing this, Linglong smiled and said, "I understand my master best. This method of cutting off the chances of becoming an immortal may be regarded as a treasure by others, but He always discards it like a worn-out shoe. This is why I recognize Him as my master."
