Man is in the midst of the mysteries of the spirit, and the flesh is infinitely deduced

"That meteorite is the so-called Infinite Moment Stone? It is also the one that connects the past, present and future?"

Wang Fugui had obviously not seen a living person for a long time. Now that he finally found someone to communicate with, he started talking excitedly.

"Daozu Wuxu, I have heard of your past. Unfortunately, in our time, many ancient books and history have been lost, so that many ignorant scholars still call Xiaoyaozi the Daozu. Little do they know that he is just a fraud who stole the name!"

Wang Fugui spoke with indignation, but Anle was confused and couldn't help asking.

"So, have you ever heard of the Great Zhou?"

Wang Fugui was stunned: "Da Zhou? Is that a dynasty? I have never heard of it, but Da Tai and Da Ling know about it. However, these two dynasties have been destroyed for some years. The former seems to have been personally done by the leader of the Dao League..."

An Le felt heavy-hearted, thinking, "Has the Great Zhou finally fallen?"

In the era when he originally lived, very few people knew about the Great Zhou Dynasty. And since Wang Fugui's era happened even after that, the Great Zhou Dynasty was completely forgotten by people over time.

As for the demise of Datai and Daling, Anle was not surprised.

Since the new calendar has been established, it represents the collapse of the old order. I am afraid that not only the two great divine dynasties, but even top sects such as the Taixu Palace have been replaced by the so-called "Tao Alliance".

Anle suddenly became curious: "Why am I called the Taoist Ancestor?"

"Of course it's because you are the first person to cultivate immortality, and you spread the method of cultivating immortality. With such achievements, you are naturally worthy of the name of Daozu."

Wang Fugui looked at Anle with great admiration, and suddenly thought: "The reason why Daozu Wuxu suddenly disappeared is that he was trapped in this Infinite Moment Stone and could never escape?"

"Will I end up like this?"

Thinking of this, Wang Fugui felt a chill down his spine and felt heavy-hearted. The joy he had just felt from encountering Anle quickly vanished.

Anle wanted to ask Wang Fugui about the future, but an ominous warning suddenly emerged in his intuition.

In the depths of the darkness, it seemed as if a thicker black shadow was approaching, with such deep malice that it was chilling.

"Oh no, it's a demon!"

Wang Fugui's face suddenly changed, and he shouted with his spiritual consciousness: "Daozu Wuxu, hurry up!"

As he spoke, a faint light appeared around him and he quickly fled away.

Anle saw clearly that those faint lights were essentially tiny glass-like crystals, which were surprisingly similar to meteorites.

These are the fragments of the Infinite Moment Stone, and Wang Fugui relies on them to move in the still darkness.

Anle suddenly realized that he had previously thought that Wang Fugui had realized the existence of something similar to the innate Qi, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

Seeing the sticky black shadow getting closer, Anle's spiritual consciousness took a quick glimpse and he couldn't help but be horrified by what he saw.

The human demon that Wang Fugui mentioned was a huge, wriggling mass of flesh, formed by the rolling of many human bodies. The flesh and blood stuck to each other like melted glue, with pale broken bones dotted on it. There were also faces rooted on the surface of the body, roaring silently in the darkness.

The strangest thing is that they are all still alive, emitting strong resentment all the time, and even time cannot stop it.

Seeing this, Anle did not hesitate and immediately mobilized all of his innate energy and followed Wang Fugui to escape.

Chapter 321 Infinite Moment Stone

The demon in the darkness was strange and terrifying. In such an environment, even Anle might not be its opponent. Fortunately, it was not chasing Anle and the other person, but only hated all existences except itself equally.

The demons have no interest in the lifeless mummies and ignore them like air.

But if it encounters people who have not yet completely died and are immersed in endless pain, the human demon will become extremely excited, rush towards them madly, and then "gently" swallow them into its body.

Anle couldn't find a more suitable word than "gentle" to describe the actions of the human demon.

Countless flesh buds gently penetrated into the twisted or scattered flesh, involving the filthy blood and flesh of the human demon, assimilating and entangled with each other, gradually merging into one.

Then, a brand new face would emerge on the surface of the human-demon, roaring silently and ferociously, and then it would look for the next target in the darkness and quickly disappear.

The whole process, rather than "devouring", is more like a ritual, assimilating the undead into part of the human demon.

Anle felt horrified and a chill ran down his spine.

Wang Fugui, who was not far away, activated the fragments of the Infinite Moment Stone, flew back to Anle, and explained with his spiritual consciousness.

"Daozu Wuxu, the human demon, was originally transformed from these dying monks. They could not endure the boundless loneliness and pain, and their minds had fallen into the devil's way. The extreme emotions broke through the shackles of the Infinite Moment Stone, and they became what they are now."

Anle glanced at Wang Fugui. His reaction and speed in escaping just now were incredibly fast. Although this was due to the effect of the Infinite Moment Stone, it also showed that Wang Fugui's nature was obviously not as simple and honest as it seemed.

Wang Fugui seemed to be unaware of his strange emotions, and still asked with a smile: "Daozu Wuxu, what should we do now?"

Anle felt quite strange when he heard him calling him "Daozu" all the time.

Even if people in later generations really called him the ancestor of Taoism, Anle knew very well that the first cultivator in the world was Tianren Mountain. To be called the ancestor of Taoism, he was far from qualified.

So, Anle said, "My becoming the Taoist Patriarch is a matter for the rest of my life. It's a bit inappropriate for you to call me by this title. Besides, no matter how great the title is, it's useless here."

"I see that you are about the same age as me, so why not call me fellow Taoist? What do you think?"

Wang Fugui immediately showed a look of panic: "Hiss... How can I bear the responsibility of calling the Taoist Master a fellow Taoist?"

But he was full of thoughts in his mind: "Damn it, if I could escape from this damn place and say that the Taoist Ancestor once called me a Taoist friend, I could brag about it for years!"

After pretending to be reserved for a while, Wang Fugui still asked, "Excuse me, what is your real name?"

"My name is Anle, just call me An Daoyou."

"Anle?"

Wang Fugui was stunned. He felt that the name sounded familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before.

But compared to the honor of being called a fellow Taoist by the Taoist Ancestor, this little matter was quickly forgotten by him.

The two chatted as they drifted in the darkness.

Anle asked: "What realm are you in now, Fellow Daoist Wang?"

Wang Fugui said ashamedly: "I am not talented, I am only in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm."

Anle: "..."

He silently glanced at the Nascent Soul in his body and was speechless.

Anle has not yet been able to break through the barrier of the Spirit Transformation, but now this fat and ugly monk has already reached the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation.

"However, I have killed people in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm before, so it's no big deal."

Thinking of this, Anle couldn't help but calm down a lot.

He asked curiously, "Are there many Divine Transformation cultivators in the Dao Alliance?"

Wang Fugui said, "There are quite a few Spiritual Transformation cultivators, many Void Refining experts, and even some old monsters at the Dao Integration Realm. To be honest, I am in the middle stage of Spiritual Transformation and cannot even be ranked in the Dao Alliance. However, I am proficient in many miscellaneous studies and strange arts, and I am also a scholar who studies history, so I have gained some fame."

Seeing that Anle seemed very interested in the Taoist Alliance, Wang Fugui said a few more words on this topic.

After listening to it, Anle couldn't help but feel a little yearning.

From Wang Fugui's description, the strength of the Taoist Alliance seems to be stronger than ever before. Various skills and Taoist methods are circulated freely and are extremely open. Geniuses among the cultivators emerge in endlessly, like the stars in the sky, countless, and even more powerful people in the state of Hedao have emerged!

Moreover, Wang Fugui even has the leisure to study history, which shows that the environment of the Taoist Alliance is far more stable and peaceful than the era when Anle lived. A monk who is in war all year round will not have the energy and leisure to pursue spiritual needs.

There is no doubt that this is an excellent era for cultivators.

At this time, Anle suddenly wanted to ask Wang Fugui about the existence of gods, but finally gave up the idea.

He wanted to ask, but didn't dare to.

Knowing the future is sometimes not necessarily a good thing.

If the gods have been destroyed or expelled, Anle still needs to move forward step by step according to the original trajectory, and the hardships in the future will not be reduced in the slightest. But if he gets a negative answer, even he will be shaken and doubt what he has done.

Instead of getting caught up in this situation of worrying about gains and losses, it is better to move forward steadily.

Similarly, Anle did not ask about the news about Su Dai, Gu Shanshan and other people he cared about.

Anle said meaningfully: "Come to think of it, I saw a lot of looted corpses in the dark..."

"Cough cough."

Wang Fugui smiled shyly, but admitted frankly: "I did it."

"I have nothing to do here, so I might as well help those people get rid of it and prevent them from becoming part of the human-demon. Also, those clothes and magic weapons are all cultural relics. If I can take them out, maybe I can figure out the era their owners lived in."

Anle didn't really care about it, and asked, "Fellow Daoist Wang, how much do you know about the Infinite Moment Stone?"

Wang Fugui was stunned for a moment, knowing that the key question was coming, and replied: "The Infinite Moment Stone is a natural wonder. It is said that it can differentiate a moment into infinite moments, so that time reaches a state similar to stillness, so it is called the Infinite Moment Stone."

"Originally, this ancient artifact was a whole, but one day in the past, it suddenly broke into pieces for some reason, and many fragments were scattered all over the Dao League and obtained by different monks. It seems that someone wanted to collect it in its entirety, and a bloody storm was set off because of it. However, in my time, its value is far less than it was before, and not many people are still searching for it. I was lucky enough to buy a piece."

Anle was surprised: "The Infinite Moment Stone is broken?"

If he guessed correctly, the prismatic meteorite was the Infinite Moment Stone, and in the future, the meteorite actually split into many fragments.

But if that is the case, why does this space in the meteorite still exist?

Temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart, Anle asked again: "Why do you say its value has decreased?"

Wang Fugui did not hide anything and said, "Many cultivators found out after getting the fragments of the Momentary Stone that this kind of artifact, apart from being extremely hard and almost indestructible, did not have many magical properties. Even if many fragments were collected, there was no change. Over time, it only had collection value."

"But as far as I know, some monks seem to have used the Infinite Moment Stone to pause time. Even if it's only for one or two seconds, it's enough to decide life or death."

Anle pondered for a moment and said, "Fellow Daoist Wang, can you lend me a piece of the instant stone fragment to take a look at it?"

"This……"

Wang Fugui hesitated briefly, then quickly nodded and said, "Okay."

As he said this, he handed a small gravel-sized instant stone to Anle.

Anle was slightly surprised by Wang Fugui's decisiveness, but then he thought that the other party might have been trapped here for a long time and could not escape. Anle's arrival was undoubtedly a new variable. Coupled with his identity as the Taoist Ancestor, Wang Fugui was willing to place his hopes on him.

Soon, Anle's spiritual consciousness came into contact with the Infinite Moment Stone.

The fragment is pitifully small, but still has a prismatic shape and a transparent texture, like a meteorite from outer space that has been shrunk countless times.

It did not respond to the touch of spiritual consciousness at all, like a dead object. Wang Fugui was able to control it, obviously using some secret technique.

Then, Anle tried to separate a strand of innate qi and come into contact with it.

At the moment the two touched, something strange happened!

"Your Highness... Your Highness..."

There seemed to be some unclear words reaching Anle's ears. He suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the darkness around him.

The darkness around him seemed to disperse like a thin mist, revealing a little light. Even though the visibility was still very low, Anle saw some scenes that were different from the darkness.

It was a woman's face, beautiful yet heroic, like a female general who had been on the battlefield for a long time.

Anle was not a stranger to this woman. She was the leader of the Daxia soldiers whom he saw before he was locked in darkness.

However, her temperament has become much more mature, like a sword with a hidden edge. Moreover, this pretty face seems a little huge, almost occupying most of Anle's vision.

Soon, Anle realized that it was not that the woman had grown bigger, but that the world they lived in had shrunk.

A slender hand descended from great height, picking up this dark space like the Five Finger Mountain. The height gradually increased. Anle looked down and saw that there seemed to be a flat wooden table under him, which was also enlarged several times, like a wide plain.

Anle suddenly realized: "Is this... the perspective from within the Zhenyang Stone?"

An Le turned to look at Wang Fugui, only to find him asking excitedly, "Friend An, what did you do? I feel the darkness around me has faded a little!"

Anle was surprised: "You can't see these pictures?"

"what did you see?"

Wang Fugui was confused and said puzzledly: "It's still pitch black here, but it seems that something has changed."

Anle asked him again if he heard other people's voices, and got the same negative answer.

After learning about this situation, Anle thought: "Perhaps because Wang Fugui and I were at different time points in the outside world, he was unable to observe my history."

At this time, a female voice was heard outside the Zhenyang Stone.

"Your Highness, you are playing with that holy object again."

Anle turned his head and saw a maid coming in from the door, looking at the woman with dissatisfaction.

"It's been so long, are you still obsessed with that battle?"

Ji Yunting placed the holy object in his palm, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes: "Ying'er, you didn't participate in that battle, so you naturally don't understand."

"If what that person said is true, I'm afraid the faith of countless people in Daxia will collapse."

Ying'er snorted, not saying anything wrong. "It was just the bewitching of an extraterritorial demon, but my Highness has been obsessed with it for three years, turning her from a Valkyrie on the battlefield into a decadent woman who only knows how to spend her time in the house feeling sad about the passing of time. It's really pathetic."

Although there was some complaint in her tone, she was mostly angry at the boy's lack of fighting spirit.

Three years ago, Ji Yunting was so dazzling. As a woman, she surpassed many princes and became a strong contender for the throne.
