Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 137: Unconscious Realm

Fu Sheng's secret treasure seemed to be drawn into an inky vortex. The sky and the earth were spinning, and everyone's eyes were dark. Their minds became extremely slow.

When Yun Yi felt grounded, he discovered that Zhao Wuxiang had disappeared and Ye Nianyi was also swept away by the undercurrent.

Here he could see nothing and hear nothing, so the emotions in his heart gradually became amplified, and fear and panic became particularly obvious.

Until he suddenly felt a warm sensation in his arm.

Yun Yi immediately grabbed the other person with his backhand, and then he couldn't help but feel surprised, because from the touch, this person seemed to be a woman.

The man seemed to be at home in the darkness, unaffected at all. He suddenly leaned close to Yun Yi's ear and said, "Don't be afraid, it's me."

Yun Yi became even more alert upon hearing this, ready to summon his sword intent at any moment, "Lu Ziwei?"

"Young Master Yun, you should relax a little. Now that we are imprisoned, we should work together to help each other find a way out."

"You don't seem affected?"

"I've been blind for a long time, so I'm very familiar with this situation."

Yun Yi was puzzled: "Are you really blind?"

Lu Ziwei smiled and said, "It's absolutely true. I know what you're doubting. Just think that I have some special qualities. Even though I'm blind, I still have a way to read."

The two had dealt with each other in their previous life, so Yun Yi naturally wouldn't believe this perfunctory rhetoric. He pointed out: "You are not blind. Your eyes can see more clearly than anyone else. What's more, some people are not blind in their eyes, but blind in their hearts."

"Sir, are you just guessing? Or are you serious?"

"Whatever you think."

Lu Ziwei was a little surprised. She had kept it extremely secret all along, but someone easily revealed the key to her cultivation.

However, this was not the time to worry about such things. Yun Yi was still holding her wrist, and she could feel that the murderous aura on the man had not diminished.

It seemed that if Lu Ziwei dared to make the slightest movement, he would immediately take action to kill the enemy.

Yun Yi is not a gentleman who is kind to women.

Seeing this, Lu Ziwei took the initiative to say, "The place you and I are currently in is the 'Unconscious Realm'. This place is colorless and formless, and it is the most vulnerable place for inner demons to breed. I know you want to ask me where I know this, so I will briefly tell you about the record in the book."

According to the records of Tianshu Academy, the unconscious world first appeared in the world ten thousand years ago.

It is rumored that the place where Buddha ascended to heaven was Lingshan, and that countless monks gathered in Lingshan that time to look for things left behind by the immortals.

Unexpectedly, they searched Lingshan almost from top to bottom, but failed to find any magical inheritance, but discovered a strange seal.

In order to break the seal here, a cultivator in the Hedao realm at that time sacrificed himself and died by self-destructing.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yi couldn't help but exclaim in shock: "Hedao Realm...self-destruction?"

While there are many cultivators in the Hedao realm in the world of cultivation, they are not numerous. Once you reach this realm, your life is connected to the great Dao, making death difficult.

Although two Hedao realm masters died in the battle of Fuyao Sect, Piaomiaozi was chased by Song Xinci to the long river of the Great Dao, and was beheaded along with the Great Dao, and the "Ruthless Dao" was devoured by the "Supreme Forgetfulness".

Master Wandu died from a random sword strike from Lingyun in the Ascension Realm, without having the chance to put up any resistance.

The deaths of these two people seemed "easy and peaceful", but in fact Song Xinci and Lingyun did not give them the chance to self-destruct and die.

If a cultivator at the Hedao realm were to commit suicide, not only would their spiritual energy and divine consciousness explode, but their own Dao would also be extinguished. This would effectively strip them of their 'Dao', the Dao they had comprehended. The magnitude of this devastation can be imagined. Lu Ziwei added, "This individual harbors a grudge against the Zen sect, and this act seeks to sever the Zen lineage's foundation. Furthermore, he cultivates the 'Dao of Self-Sacrifice,' a practice unparalleled and rare in the world."

"The way of self-sacrifice", if you want to hurt others, you must first sacrifice yourself.

The self-explosion of such a person in the Hedao realm instantly destroyed the seal completely, causing the unconscious world within it to "flow" out.

It is exactly the same as the current situation of Fu Sheng Mi Zang.

Yun Yi finally spoke out what confused him the most: "What exactly is the unconscious realm?"

Lu Ziwei replied: "As the name suggests, it means emptiness, nothingness, there is nothing."

"If I remember correctly, the fundamental concept of Fusheng Temple is that the Three Realms are only consciousness, but here we have the realm of no consciousness. Isn't that completely contrary to the truth?"

"Exactly. There is only nothingness here."

After hearing this, Yun Yi muttered to himself, "Little do they know that for those who practice cultivation, nothingness is the most terrifying thing. To discover that all one's life's pursuits are ultimately illusory is the easiest way to breed inner demons."

This is also the biggest problem in returning to the Void Realm.

Lu Ziwei nodded and said, "That's right. And for those who practice cultivation, the void of consciousness is also the most tempting thing. Because as long as you have something to seek, you will feel that what you seek is hidden in the void of consciousness. As long as you have any confusion, you will feel that there is an answer there.

"The Unconscious Realm will quietly amplify everyone's desires. Those in the Return to Void Realm believe that it contains the secret to achieving the Dao, while those in the Dao-Uniting Realm believe that it contains the secret to ascending to the sky.

"In the end, it seems like there's nothing here, but it also seems like there's everything."

Yun Yi sighed, "Nothing is something, emptiness is color."

In short, the stronger a person's desires are, the stronger the attraction of the unconscious world to him will be.

Yun Yi asked, "What happened after the Lingshan disaster?"

Lu Ziwei said, "At that time, countless cultivators rushed into the Unconscious Realm, wanting to find out what was going on. In the end, only a few with advanced cultivation levels escaped, while the rest remained within.

"It's a pity that the book doesn't explain what the unconscious realm actually contains. It only says that later on a monk named 'Yi Shang' used a bowl to contain the unconscious realm, thus solving the problem."

Yun Yi had heard of the name of Monk Yishang. This man was the famous abbot of Fusheng Temple. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the founder of the revival of the temple.

It seems that after Monk Yishang put the unconscious world into the bronze bowl, he has been sealing it in the Fusheng Secret Treasure. In order to prevent another Hedao realm self-destruction and cause a disaster, the seal he set this time can only be broken by the Feisheng realm.

Unexpectedly, it would see the light of day again after ten thousand years.

Yun Yi sighed, "So, you don't know how to leave this place?"

Lu Ziwei chuckled: "Of course I don't know, so I can only ask you for help."

"I'm only at the Spiritual Transformation Realm, yet you seem to have a lot of confidence in me."

"You are someone who defied fate and changed your destiny, so naturally you are different from others." Lu Ziwei changed the subject: "And in my opinion, the scale of this unconscious world is far smaller than the one at Lingshan, so the difficulty of cracking it should be smaller."

Yun Yi was helpless: "The problem is that I don't even know who the enemy is now, so how can I talk about cracking it?"

Lu Ziwei said, "I have a way to make you see this clearly, but before I do that, I want to hear your opinion on the current situation."

Her words were somewhat tentative, implying that if Yun Yi was not of the same kind as her, she would not help him.
