Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 143: The Humiliated Woman Beheaded and Abandoned in the City (26)

By looking through their memories, Ding Shui quickly realized that his guess was generally correct.

This world entered the Age of Dharma Decline since the reign of Emperor Zhuanxu. All those who could ascend had already done so before Emperor Zhuanxu severed the passage between heaven and man, and the remaining beings were no longer qualified. However, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth would not dissipate all at once; it was still sufficient for them to cultivate for a while.

During the reign of Emperor Yu, the demons believed that it was the human Emperor Zhuanxu who severed the channel between heaven and man, which ultimately led to the collapse of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, making it impossible for them to ascend.

So they began to take crazy revenge on humans.

The human race suffered heavy casualties.

Although Emperor Yu organized cultivators to deal with the situation, as the saying goes, "a thief can be thieves for a thousand days, but you can't be on guard against them for a thousand days." The demonic plague was difficult to eradicate, and large numbers of humans were killed and injured every day. Finally, Emperor Yu had no choice but to gather the power of the Nine Provinces to refine the Nine Cauldrons. He then used the Nine Cauldrons to set up a Nine Provinces barrier, suppressing all demons within the Nine Provinces.

As a result, the entire demon clan suffered heavy casualties.

Only a small number of demons outside Kyushu survived.

At the same time, you can no longer enter Kyushu.

The Jiuzhou here does not refer to the Small Jiuzhou, but the Big Jiuzhou. Daqian, including some surrounding countries, can only be regarded as the Chixian Shenzhou among the Big Jiuzhou.

So the demon race was really forced into a desperate situation.

No longer poses any threat.

Later generations of Human Emperors, as long as they possessed sufficient luck and prestige, could sense the presence of the Nine Cauldrons and become qualified to control the Nine Provinces Barrier. At the same time, because some cultivators went too far and attacked mortals, subsequent Human Emperors gradually added rules to the Nine Provinces Barrier beyond those targeting demons. For example, cultivators could not freely attack mortals, Yang Shen could not appear within the Nine Provinces Barrier, and so on. There were too many such rules.

Some practitioners could not stand the increasing number of constraints, so in the late Shang Dynasty, they supported the Zhou royal family in destroying the Shang Dynasty, completely destroying the position of the Human Emperor, and the Human Emperor's communication with the Nine Cauldrons and mastering the Nine Provinces barrier.

From then on, the Nine Cauldrons really became cauldrons.

The Zhou royal family also specially built nine tripods and placed them in the palace for worship, saying that those tripods were the Nine Tripods of Emperor Yu.

However, the Shang Dynasty was not so easy to destroy.

The net result was a devastating loss for the entire cultivation world, with the Yang God nearly extinct. Finally, Emperor Xin sacrificed himself, destroying over 90% of the spiritual veins within the Jiuzhou barrier, causing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to plummet to its lowest point, leaving only a few blessed caves and lands. Cultivation could only be achieved within blessed caves and lands; cultivating outside of these, regardless of talent, would be difficult to achieve Yang God status.

Because of this, from then on, the remaining practitioners basically moved to the blessed land.

Rarely appears on weekdays.

The stories about immortals and gods gradually became legends.

Later, as time went by, many blessed places collapsed, and the number of practitioners became fewer and fewer.

Many cultivators who hadn't achieved Yang Shen status, when their lifespans had expired or they had passed away, were rarely willing to be guided into the path of immortality. This was because the amount of spiritual energy in the world was decreasing. Naturally, the fewer people who cultivated, the longer those who remained would live, and the more likely they were to achieve a Yang Shen breakthrough.

Therefore, how to ensure that the soul will not fall into a state of ignorance after death and can still retain the memory of the previous life after reincarnation has become a problem for many people who cannot cultivate to the Yang Shen realm.

Those who are unwilling to die just like that and want to live a second or even third life are the focus of research for practitioners.

At that time, they only knew that cultivators in the Yang Shen realm could ensure that their true spirits would not fall into ignorance, and at the same time, they could keep their Yang Shen after reincarnation. The only thing they needed to consider was that if the Yang Shen left the body, the reincarnation process might trigger the Jiuzhou barrier, causing thunder to fall and destroy the Yang Shen.

But generally speaking, as long as the speed is faster.

The loss is bearable, and the damage to the Yang Shen can be recovered after recuperation for 20 to 30 years at most.

But this is a situation where no one obstructs.

The reality is that a thousand years ago, a group of demonic monks thought that the secret to preventing the true spirit from falling into ignorance after reincarnation lay in the Yang Shen. They secretly targeted a Yang Shen monk who was about to die of old age. After the other party's Yang Shen left the body, they used all means to prevent his Yang Shen from reincarnation.

The result is that the other party is struck to death by lightning.

Although their souls were shattered, their Yang Spirits, tempered by the thunder, eventually produced a large amount of pure Yang substances. After many experiments, they finally discovered the uses of these pure Yang substances and successfully utilized them to ensure that they would not fall into ignorance during reincarnation and could perfectly retain their memories of their past lives.

As a result, the strongest people in the cultivation world, the Yangshen great monks, became the most dangerous, especially those great monks who were nearing the end of their lifespan and were preparing to reincarnate in recent years.

There was a period of confusion at first, but the great Yang Shen cultivators soon found a solution. That was for all Yang Shen cultivators to unite and sign a soul contract, guaranteeing mutual protection and cooperation. If anyone wanted to reincarnate, at least two Yang Shen would accompany them.

Then he took him back and accepted him as his disciple.

Then naturally there is no need to be afraid.

However, in order to join this alliance, one must undoubtedly obtain the approval of the vast majority of Yang Gods. The demon race and the devil cultivators are not included in this scope, as everyone does not trust them. In addition, some others who have a bad reputation are also not in the alliance.

But no matter what, the great monk Yangshen became very depressed after that, and became more and more resentful towards the Jiuzhou barrier, and wanted to destroy the barrier all the time.

Thirteen years ago, the moment Ding Shui's Yang God showed up, all the Yin God cultivators who were not in the blessed land sensed it, but at that time no one thought that this was a Yang God reincarnated alone. They all thought that there must be other Yang Gods protecting him, so they did not come to find him immediately.

Later, when Ding Shui attempted to refine his supernatural organs and again attracted thunder, many speculated that the reincarnation might not be that of a Yang God cultivator, but rather a Yang God Demon King. This was because the Nine Provinces barrier produced different signals when demons and Yang Gods appeared: the former brought down thunder from the Nine Heavens, while the latter brought down thunder that slew evil.

Many people immediately thought that this was an opportunity, because if the other party was the Yangshen Demon King, there would be no need to worry about other Yangshen cultivators protecting him, and there would be no need to worry about being morally condemned if they attacked him.

Soon after, many people began looking for Ding Shui.

But Luoyang is the imperial capital, the place with the richest human destiny, and also the most sensitive place in the Jiuzhou barrier. Practitioners do not like such places, so most cultivators stay away from it. In addition, they dare not fly over alone as a Yin God to deal with the Yang God Demon King.

Naturally, their speed would be relatively slow. By the time they arrived in Luoyang, Ding Shui had already left with his men.

Later, because they always thought that the Yangshen Demon King had found a human or animal body to reincarnate, they kept their eyes on infants and young children born around that period, including animal cubs. As a result, they wasted a lot of time and had no results.

It was not until a few years ago that they heard rumors that a giant monster had appeared on Yazhou Island. Out of curiosity, they came to take a look and guessed that they were looking for Ding Shui.

After they saw Ding Shui absorb the essence of the sun and the moon.

This makes it even more certain.

But at that time, Ding Shui had been practicing for nearly ten years, and his energy and blood were so huge and terrifying that they had no confidence in winning and originally wanted to find more people.

Even if it is possible.

Invite all the great Yangshen monks here.

It was at this time that Ding Shui officially set out on her quest for revenge, giving them hope and sending men to follow her secretly. It wasn't until Ding Shui had completely avenged herself, her Qi and Blood severely depleted, and was ready to return home that they launched their attack, besieging her. They intended to destroy her physical body and expose her Yang Spirit.

This makes it easier for them to obtain pure yang substances.

As for why Ding Shui, despite the rules within the Jiuzhou barrier prohibiting cultivators from slaughtering mortals without restraint, managed to kill over ten thousand people without being struck by lightning, there are two reasons. First, most of those she killed were deserving of death, as the Jiuzhou barrier itself has a certain standard for judging good and evil. Second, it is the end of the unified dynasty, and the fate of humanity has declined to an extreme, leading to the weakness of the Jiuzhou barrier, which relies on this fate.

The priority is to prevent the Yang God and the demon race from appearing.

It is higher than the subsequent massacre of mortals.

In addition, when Ding Shui killed people, he did not use any magic power, but simply killed them with his flesh and blood. This did not violate this rule, otherwise he would have been struck by lightning.

After learning this information, Ding Shui herself was quite fortunate that she was relatively restrained in killing people, and because of the lack of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, her Yang God was also restricted.

Instead of choosing the path of Qi training, he chose the path of body training.

And then of course it’s time to clean up.

Let’s hurry back to Lingnan Road.
