Fox Demon Crossing

Chapter 183 "Tao"

Jin Zhicheng stared at the two towering ghosts and gods behind the wolf shadow. Their vast aura pointed straight to the sky. He could feel that their strength was no less than that of the ferocious Mokuishan they had encountered before.

Even in a one-on-one fight, any one of them is enough to sweep across the Other Shore Mountain.

Interestingly, although the vitality of this world has gradually declined.

But the power of "Tao" seems not to have completely disappeared.

In Uncle Jiu's universe, he witnessed the situation where "Tao" completely disappeared in that world.

Nine out of ten of the vital energy in the universe is gone.

The gate to the underworld is closed, and even the ghost soldiers and gods in the underworld cannot cross the ghost gate to the world of the living.

After death, people no longer become souls. The celestial soul returns to heaven, the earthly soul is buried in the soil, and the human soul disappears into thin air.

The extraordinary methods faded away one by one with the withdrawal of "Tao".

The whole world has become a place where magic is forbidden.

However, the desire of such ghosts and gods for the vital energy of heaven and earth is far less urgent than that of cultivators.

Therefore, their strength has not been greatly damaged.

However, even so, the Yang world's vitality in this world will become increasingly thin after a thousand years, until all traces of "Tao" disappear completely.

Every world cannot escape this process.

It's like the cycle of life and death.

As for what "Tao" is, Jin Zhicheng finds it difficult to express it in words. He only knows that it is the most ancient existence and the heart of every universe.

The ghosts and gods on both sides obviously felt Jin Zhicheng's gaze, and they immediately became alert, like two loyal stone tablets, guarding the wolf shadow on the left and right.

But in reality, their fears were already overflowing.

If possible, they really want to take this ancestor with them and escape far away.

After a relaxed conversation, I heard Langying inviting the Taoist priest to his home for a drink.

Suddenly, they were terrified.

What tricks does this little ancestor have?

Fortunately, the Taoist priest politely refused in the end, which made them feel relieved.

"What a pity. You are still a person of character. If you are destined to meet me, please come to the Hengshan Mountains in the southern part of the empire." After a while, Wolf Shadow slowly stood up. Before leaving, he looked back and reminded, "I don't know what you talked about with Mo Kuishan, but I still have to warn you that the Wu Clan is all stubborn and unyielding."

"You have offended them now. It will be safer to leave the country and cross the sea as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Jin Zhicheng smiled, stood up and bowed, "Thank you for your warning, I will pay attention to it."

Watching the young wolf and his two guardians leave and disappear into the forest, Jin Zhicheng used his true energy to extinguish the fire, turned around and led several black foxes in the opposite direction.

It didn't last long.

One of the ghosts following Wolf Shadow couldn't help but ask, "Wolf Shadow, why do you want to get close to that Taoist priest?"

Another person also agreed, "Indeed, his strength in the human world is also first-rate, but you should know that there are ghosts and gods in the netherworld who are much stronger than him."

"Besides, you are in a high position, so there is no need to make friends with such an unknown Taoist priest."

"You know shit."

Wolf Shadow paused and said coldly, "Didn't you see that immortal broke the seal that Daozu had set apart heaven, earth and humans with one sword?"

"can do it?"

"Or can you?"

He looked at the two ghosts. They looked at each other in silence, lowered their heads, and remained silent.

They were unable to break the seal set by Daozu.

"Such a strong man, although his cultivation is not high at the moment, as long as time permits, it is not impossible for him to reach the top of the three realms."

"This... should be impossible."

Wolf Shadow reminded them: "Have you forgotten about Emperor Yuan Taizong?"

"..."

A ghost muttered quietly, "Didn't they say that he was defeated in the siege by the gods?"

"Did you see it with your own eyes?" Wolf Shadow asked back.

"Uh... not with my own eyes."

"Not long ago, I heard from Uncle Kui that the successor of the 'God and Ghost Killing Order' appeared in the Empire."

"You don't understand the deep meaning of this?"

"What?"

"This means that the 'God and Ghost Killing Order' has never been discontinued, and its descendants are still circulating today." Wolf Shadow whispered, "Isn't this weird?"

"What's weird?"

"Hey!"

"Didn't you tell me about Yuan Taizong before?"

Wolf Shadow was speechless for a while, "You said at the beginning that Yuan Taizong killed people everywhere in the heaven, and finally the Emperor of Heaven personally took action to suppress him in the endless chaos."

"Yes."

“But I also heard about it.”

“… I suddenly don’t want to waste time talking to you guys.” Wolf Shadow shook his head and quickened his pace, leaping between the tree trunks in the forest.

"Wolf Shadow, don't just tell half the story. What's so strange about that?"

......

"Interesting, the pillars of this land were also destroyed by the witch and demon tribes during the war in the human world."

"In addition to the heaven and earth, there are also the demon world, the devil world, the spirit world, the Buddha world..."

"That wolf shadow is from the Wu clan, the ancient Wu people of the Jiuli tribe, and the descendant of the son of Chiyou."

"The first stop of the Taoist Patriarch Laojun was to seal the Buddhist world of Lingshan Mountain in the west, in order to slow down the encroachment of these small worlds on the human world and delay the retreat of the Tao..."

"The human world is the main world. Both the heavenly world and the earthly world need to rely on the human world to survive..."

"The heavens absorb the pure air, the earth devours the muddy air, the Buddhas eat the fireworks of faith, and the demons enjoy the evil thoughts..."

"The demon world and the spirit world are secondary dimensional worlds..."

Jin Zhicheng's eyes were a little gloomy. It was the first time he heard such remarks.

After thinking about it carefully, I found that there is some truth in it.

Clear air rises to become the sky, and muddy air sinks to become the earth.

But most of the clear and turbid air will eventually be absorbed into the space between heaven and earth.

In other words, after being filtered through layer by layer, the vital energy of heaven and earth generated by the spiritual veins of the human world, the pure air rises and merges into the heaven, while the muddy air seeps down and seeps into the earth.

The human world is like a center and hub for the generation of vital energy.

To put it in a more unpleasant way.

The heavens, the earth, the demon world, the spirit world...these small worlds rely on absorbing the blood of the human world to survive.

Vitality is the lifeblood of the human world.

When the vitality of the human world is abundant, they can eat their fill; when the vitality is weak, they will be extremely hungry.

Thinking back to the metaphor of the wolf shadow, Jin Zhicheng smiled slightly.

Through conversations with Wolf Shadow, he got a lot of information about this world.

He had learned a little from the fox girl before, but due to her limited strength and background, the information she knew was only at the basic level, and she knew nothing about the deeper things...
