The ancestor of all monsters in Shushan

Shi Feiyang decided not to destroy the magic sword. One reason was that he remembered his own bitter past as an alien and could empathize with the sword. The other reason was because of the 72 Earthly Transformations.

The metaphysical is called Tao, and the physical is called Qi.

The innate Tao body is the foundation, and the acquired techniques and tools are used. Cultivating immortals requires the innate nature, and the goal is immortality, but immortals do not simply exist and live like minerals and plants.

You must obtain the innate and use the acquired, obtain the great way to create all things, the innate must evolve into the acquired to be called life, and the great way can only take effect through techniques and tools.

If one blindly emphasizes innate qualities but neglects acquired qualities, and values ​​the Dao but despises techniques and tools, he will end up with unrealistic aspirations but poor skills, and live in a vague and unrealistic fantasy.

Shi Feiyang had already reached the state of "seeing the Tao" and was on the way to "attaining the Tao" and "attaining the Tao". He was able to create techniques suitable for each person, which was considered the most basic "Tao gives birth to all things", but he was still at a very elementary stage.

He wanted to complete the Liang Yi Liuhe Micro Dust Formation, but he had only just started. He wanted to comprehend the Thirty-Six Transformations of Tian Gang and the Seventy-Two Transformations of Di Sha, but he had not even started.

This time I was supposed to go out into the world and learn the wonders of the seventy-two transformations. Now that I have obtained the magic sword, I still have no idea how to transform.

And the experience of this sword gave him great inspiration.

The 72 Earthly Transformations must be the various changes that occur in all things in the world as the laws of nature operate.

In the past, he only comprehended the Way of Heaven, and from the Way of Heaven he comprehended the Great Way, and used the Way of Heaven to determine the Way of Man. The former was to delve into the deeper origin and essence of the universe, while the latter was to move towards all things in the world, towards the acquired nature, and towards the physical world. Taking the Way of Heaven as the entry point, they then went in two completely different directions.

Keeping this sword will definitely be of great help to your future comprehension of the Seventy-two Earthly Transformations!

Shi Feiyang was not worried that the magic sword was deceiving him. For example, whether the monk Yichen really ascended to paradise or was secretly killed by him, he could tell the answer by using the hexagrams.

He asked the sword spirit to spit out all the souls in the sword.

The Demonic Sword can absorb people's essence, blood, and souls. Every time it kills someone, unless the person is extremely powerful, the soul will be sucked into the sword. Some souls are chopped into pieces, leaving only a remnant soul.

The sword spirit spat out souls, including those of Zhao Xinyuan and the Eight Demons of Xichuan, as well as those he had killed in the past. Shi Feiyang injected a stream of yang energy into each soul, allowing them to reincarnate on their own.

These souls have all been traumatized to varying degrees, and are basically in a daze and without consciousness. If they are blown away by the wind like this, they will most likely be reborn as animals. The most severely damaged souls will turn into various small insects, the better ones will turn into reptiles, and the best ones may be birds or mammals.

The sword spirit was not lying. There were not many humans in total, but there were quite a few chickens, ducks, and geese, especially chickens. There were so many of them that when they were released, hundreds of live chicken souls flew out first...

"Good fellow, you have merged with the spirit of the weasel again, right? Someone who doesn't know would think I'm running a chicken farm here!"

After dealing with all these, Shi Feiyang wanted to seal the magic sword, but changed his mind at the last minute. He took out a sword box, put the sword in it, called Li Zhenchuan, handed it to him, and asked him to carry it on his back.

He also untied the restraints on the more than 300 martial arts heroes. These people were only physically unable to move, and they had witnessed everything with their own eyes. Now that they were free, they immediately came over to kneel and kowtow, begging to become his disciple: "We were blind before and did not know that it was an immortal who had descended. We beg the immortal to forgive us... I have been eager to pursue Taoism since I was young, and I beg the immortal to accept me as your disciple..."

More than three hundred people shouted together. Shi Feiyang waved his hand to silence them. "This sword is called the Heavenly Demon Immortal Slaying Sword. Not even ordinary sword immortals can wield it. If your Dao power is not strong enough, you will be attacked back. You can forget about it. The other swords are substitutes he made. You can use them. I came here this time because I was afraid that it would harm the world. I came here to catch it. Now that I have it, I should leave."

The heroes begged one after another, saying that it was too difficult to seek the immortals and learn the way of Taoism. They begged the immortals to have mercy on them and accept them as their disciples, even if it would be just to sweep the yard or serve as gatekeepers.

Shi Feiyang naturally would not accept so many disciples. Suddenly, he felt that someone outside was trying to break the formation. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. He waved his hand to collect the Liangyi Microdust Formation in the sky, and the golden light and colorful clouds in the sky turned into twelve jade talismans that fell back into his hands.

The one who was breaking the formation outside was a young girl in green. She made a gesture with her left hand and cast a spell, releasing a rainbow-like silk thread, and fiercely attacked the death gate of the formation at the stairs.

Shi Feiyang had previously closed the gate of the formation, and the black clouds surged, blocking the rainbow, flying up and down, never giving way. At this time, he suddenly disappeared. The girl thought that she had broken through the gate of the formation, and said proudly: "It's not that great!"

It turned out that the twelve portals of the previous formation rose up at the same time, and golden light and colorful clouds separated the inside and the outside. Except for Shi Feiyang, people inside could not see outside, and people outside could not see inside.

There were more than 700 people outside who were driven out by Shi Feiyang. They were already very angry, and some even shouted: "Although that man has strong internal strength, if so many of us rush in together, he won't be able to resist and we will definitely chop him into pieces!"

They tried to get back to the top of the mountain, but they couldn't get past the dark clouds, and they kept cursing and making noises.

Just as they were making a commotion, suddenly a green sword light flew over from the other side of the mountain, landed on the cliff, and a girl in blue appeared.

All the heroes in the martial arts world were stunned: "It's a sword fairy, and a fairy at that!"

Everyone knelt down before the fairy, praying to be accepted by her. Even if they did not want to be her apprentices, they could just follow the fairy and do some trivial chores. They did not need to practice cultivation, and they would be satisfied as long as they could see the fairy every day.

The "fairy" was very unhappy, her face was cold, and she said in annoyance: "What are you arguing about? You are causing so much noise!" After that, she stretched out her hand and pointed, releasing a sword light, which cut an old pine tree as thick as a basin on the cliff in half, scaring the knights into silence.

She calmed down and carefully examined the formation on the top of the mountain: "This formation is righteous and not evil. It is somewhat similar to the immortal formation passed down by my master that my father mentioned..."

It turns out that this little fairy's surname is Zhuge and her given name is Han'e. She is the child born to Zhuge Jingwo and Madam Baoxiang.

When Madam Baoxiang met Zhuge Jingwo in the East China Sea, she fell in love with him and started to flirt with him.

In the original novel, after Madam Baoxiang learned that Zhuge Jingwo was Xuan Zhenzi's disciple, she became afraid and did not dare to take action. She also helped Zhuge Jingwo avoid the three disasters, making the Emei Sect owe her a favor. Later, the Three Immortals of the East China Sea helped her overcome the heavenly tribulation and accepted her two daughters born to Qin Yu as their disciples.

Due to Shi Feiyang's arrival, the three people's chances were mixed together. Shi Feiyang used the Tiandi Jiaotai Incense to make the two unable to control themselves, which led to a lot of stories later.

When Zhuge Jingwo returned to Diaoaoji, Xuan Zhenzi gave him two paths to choose from. One was to achieve the status of an earthly immortal and live a good life with his wife and children in the future. The other was to die in battle and reincarnate to climb the path to a celestial immortal.

Zhuge Jingwo chose the latter without hesitation, and after his death, he resumed his practice of Buddhism.

Madam Baoxiang gave birth to two daughters, the eldest daughter was named Ziling and the second daughter was named Han'e.

In the original novel, her two daughters were born to Qin Yu twice, with an age gap between the two sisters.

These two children were born to Zhuge Jingwo, twins of the same age. Madam Baoxiang was a different species who had achieved enlightenment. She practiced for three thousand years and encountered many disasters. Soon after giving birth to the children, she also died to avoid disasters. However, she did not reincarnate, but hid her Nascent Soul in the cave under Diaoao Rock to practice and avoid disasters.

The two daughters stayed in the Ziling Valley of Huangshan Mountain. There was a magic ban outside, and it was usually shrouded in clouds and fog. Even if someone was determined to find them, it would be difficult to find them, let alone mortals who wanted to find the immortals.

Zhuge Jingwo would come occasionally after his reincarnation. Actually, she was the daughter of his previous life, and she was born because his Taoism was ruined. Every time he faced her, Zhuge Jingwo had complicated feelings.

Because of this mentality, he was not very close to his two daughters, and he taught them homework in a very formal manner.

The eldest daughter, Ziling, is calm and steady, which is fine, but the second daughter, Han'e, is emotionally unstable...

That year, Shi Feiyang brought Jiang Shu to the Purple Gold Waterfall in Huangshan to retrieve the Broken Jade Hook. It happened that the Peach Blossom Fairy Li Yuyu and the Three-Handed Fairy Pu He, the son of the Golden Thread Goddess Pu Miaomiao from Chongming Island, Jiangsu, were rewarding each other in the valley. Li Yuyu ran to seduce Jiang Shu, but was replaced by Shi Feiyang with a Wanzai Frost Bug, destroying her physical body. Finally, the monk Chuan Deng cast a spell through the air to repel the Frost Bug, and Li Yuyu's soul barely escaped.

Pu He saw a girl in blue and chased after her naked to reward her.

The girl in blue was Zhuge Han'e who came out for fun.

Han E saw Pu He chasing him with a lewd look on his face. Although he didn't know what he was saying, he knew it was definitely not good, so he used the Heavenly Demon Huiming Escape Technique to lead Pu He into a crevice between rocks.

When Pu He saw the girl had entered the crevice with no way out, he squeezed in happily and forced himself to be rewarded. Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain in his vital parts and woke up in an instant. He found that he was the only one stuck in the crevice that was more than half a foot wide. A silver needle pierced through the turtle's head and nailed it into the rock.

He tried to struggle yet, but his wrists and ankles suddenly felt tight and were entangled by smooth silk ribbons. Looking closely at the silk ribbons, he found that they actually grew out of the rock, and the lower half was embedded in the rock.

Although Han E had grown up by then, he was strictly bound by his parents to stay in Ziling Valley. Even if he wanted to leave the valley, he could not leave Huangshan, and he had to get permission from his sister Ziling.

She had never had contact with the outside world and was very naive, not understanding anything. She just thought that Pu He was going to bully her and that he was mean and annoying, but she didn't know what was going on, so she asked Pu He what he was going to do.
Pu Hezi didn't dare to tell her the truth, he just said that he wanted to catch little white rabbits with her.

Han E asked him why he was not wearing any clothes, and he said that he was practicing some kind of magic...

Although Han E was naive at this time, he was not stupid. He kept asking questions and then combining the answers. Once he found a contradiction, he knew that the other party was lying to him. He then cast a spell to make sparks spray out of the needle, burning Pu He and making him scream.

Han E used the Heavenly Demon Dark Escape Technique to hide himself in the surroundings. He was not afraid of being heard by others and interrogated Pu He here.

Pu He tried his best and at first he wanted to trick her into letting him go. He also thought that once he was free, he would use the most powerful magic that his aunt taught him to catch this little girl and reward her well.

But Han E didn't care about what she asked. She just grew up in the valley and had never come into contact with people from outside. She was full of curiosity about the outside world. In her eyes, Pu He was just a toy, or a pet.

That day, she interrogated him for more than an hour and then left. Pu He immediately cast a spell to escape.

Unfortunately, Madam Baoxiang's Heavenly Demon Huiming Escape Technique was very powerful. It was a technique secretly passed down from heaven by old man Xuexue. The complete set included six techniques of life and death, illusion, Huiming and Desolation. Old man Xuexue only copied down the two sets, Hui and Ming. Madam Baoxiang practiced the Heavenly Fox Illusion according to her instinct, and combined it with the magic skills she practiced in the past to form this Heavenly Demon Huiming Escape Technique.

Later, when Zhuge Jingwo was educating his daughter, he discovered that she knew this method of escape. He felt that her method was not right, and that it had many similarities with the Liang Yi Micro Dust Formation of his own Emei School. He also spent a lot of time to comprehend and improve it.

With Pu He's limited Taoist skills, even if Han E was not proficient in them, he could not escape if he used this method to trap him.

He struggled for four days and four nights, exhausting himself. The ribbons on his wrists and ankles became tighter the more he struggled. The silver needle underneath even spewed out sparks when it was touched, burning him and making him scream. In the end, he could only helplessly endure it quietly in the gap.

Four days later, Han E came back and started interrogating her again. In fact, he was asking about the people and things outside, some human relationships, local customs and habits, and even the most ordinary things, the little girl listened with great interest.

Pu He's mouth was dry, so he begged Han E to give him some water to drink, or even better, something to eat.

Han'e is half celestial fox in blood. He has been practicing fasting since childhood, eating only fruits, drinking morning dew, and sweet spring water, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

She complained to Pu He for being useless: "It's only been four days and nights, and you're already complaining about being thirsty and hungry! You're really useless! When I came back from here that day, I didn't eat anything. I just drank some dew on the flower petals..."

She went to the mountains to get some stream water for Pu He. She wanted to feed him according to her own diet, but when she thought of Pu He's appearance, with cracked lips, dark circles under his eyes, and listless spirit, as if he was really thirsty and hungry, she picked some wild fruits and brought them back for Pu He to eat and drink, and then asked him to continue telling her about things outside.

It's okay to just drink water, the wild fruits are sweet and sour and delicious, but if a hungry person eats them, it will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid, making him even hungrier.

Pu He still wanted to eat, so Han E used a needle to pierce the acupuncture points under his ribs and cast a spell to make sparks fly. Pu He was in severe pain and felt endless numbness. Pu He begged for mercy, but Han E did not stop: "You are the cunning and deceitful person my mother said. You must be punished. Otherwise, you will lie all the time and will hurt people as soon as your hands and feet are free!"

Pu He could not bear the torture, so he cried loudly and begged with tears and swearing that every word he said was true, and if even a single word was false he would be killed by the flying sword.

Han E then spared him, and once again took refuge in this place, sealed it off secretly, and returned to Ziling Valley.

This time she was gone for six days. When she came back, Pu He was almost dying of thirst and hunger.

"It's really useless!" Han E also felt a little regretful. He thought that although this man was a cultivator and had even mastered the art of flying swords, he was not much stronger than an ordinary mortal.

She quickly got some spring water and wild fruits to feed him. Pu He cried and asked if he could get some proper food, such as rice, steamed buns, or roasted chicken or fish.

Han E said that he had never eaten it and didn't know how to make it.

"Little aunt, you can't do it, but I can. Let me go... Even if you don't let me go, I'll teach you how to do it... If you don't give me something decent to eat, I'm really going to starve to death!"

Han E did as he said. She caught a chicken, plucked it, cleaned it, removed the internal organs, and roasted it over a fire... The aroma was so fragrant. She had never seen anything so delicious before. She didn't give any to Pu He, but took a bite herself. It was crispy, fragrant and delicious!
Han E couldn't stop eating and soon finished the whole chicken.

After finishing the meal, he was still not satisfied, so he went to roast another one. When he had eaten until only the head was left, he remembered Pu He and gave the chicken head and half of the neck to Pu He to eat.

Pu He bit the chicken bone hard while shedding tears. The tears were bitter and flowed straight to the pit of his heart... (End of this chapter)
