Chapter 461: Morality

Li Xuanfeng and Xiao Yongling walked all the way down the mountain. They walked in a hurry when going up the mountain and did not observe carefully. Now that they reached the foot of the mountain, there was actually a small platform, with six lamp bases lying in a mess.

These lamp bases were ancient and dark gray, most of them already broken. It seemed that some treasures were once embedded on these lamp bases, attracting people to fight for them, leaving many traces of fighting.

The two reached the edge, rode the wind out, and went to the sea of clouds together. Xiao Yongling sighed softly:

"This Qingsong Cave-Heaven... originally named 【Mirage Mirror】, was established by the ancient immortal cultivator Yingze, and is also the last Qingsong orthodoxy... My family ancestor once said that this person possessed both Taiyin and Taiyang, so he was called Yingze."

"When he founded this cave-heaven, his cultivation had already reached the extreme, seeking the path of transcendence, wanting to find a new path between Taiyin and Taiyang... Finally, he died, and there was no more news."

Li Xuanfeng looked at the sea of clouds under his feet, pondered for a few breaths, and the words reached his lips, only wanting to ask if this immortal was surnamed Lu, but worried that the Golden Core was above, so he did not dare to say more, only asked:

"If according to the appearance of this sea of clouds, there is a realm above and below... taking treasures in the upper part, isn't there still one in the lower part?"

Xiao Yongling paused slightly and explained:

"I had this idea when I came in. I happened to meet a small peak, no one around, and a jade slip was placed on it. I took this magic spell, and then turned back to below the sea of clouds, but the peak was empty."

Li Xuanfeng pondered slightly and said softly:

"That is because we are all in this lower realm, each seeking opportunities, while the upper realm is a projection..."

When Li Xuanfeng entered this cave-heaven, he dived into the sea of clouds in one breath. Logically, he was in the lower realm of this cave-heaven, so he had this inference. When he said this, Xiao Yongling opposite frowned and said:

"This place is the lower part? I explored it back and forth several times, and finally returned to where I entered..."

Li Xuanfeng looked at him, and a look of shock slowly appeared on his face. Xiao Yongling's expression also gradually became uneasy. Li Xuanfeng said softly:

"Senior, wait here, I will go down and see."

He rode the wind, fell into the sea of clouds in one head, and only after a breath, flew out from the lower end of the sea of clouds, upside down, rode the wind, and looked toward the sea of clouds.

In front of him actually stood a middle-aged man in white, wearing a sword at his waist, it was Xiao Yongling!

The Xiao Yongling in front of him pinched his sleeve, looked at him somewhat suspiciously, and said softly:

"I thought you would explore for a while. I did not expect that you just drilled down and returned immediately... did you discover anything?"

Li Xuanfeng was horrified and said in a low voice:

"Who are you...!"

Xiao Yongling frowned, feeling something was wrong. Li Xuanfeng realized, retreated a step silently, and sank into the sea of clouds again.

It took a breath of time to pass through the gray sea of clouds. He rode the wind and flew up. There was indeed an Xiao Yongling above the sea of clouds. Li Xuanfeng looked at the Xiao Yongling above the sea of clouds with a complex expression and said in a low voice:

"I will stay here, Senior, go down and see for yourself..."

Xiao Yongling's face was somewhat ugly, nodded slightly, and sank into the sea of clouds. Li Xuanfeng stared at him closely, and sure enough, he saw him rise from the sea of clouds, turn around, and the magic sword he had worn on the left was still hanging on the left.

Xiao Yongling was silent for a while, and said in disbelief:

"Could it be... actually an illusion? It looks like drilling into this cloud layer, but it was sent back by a maze array... so there is a feeling of traveling through two realms."

Li Xuanfeng shook his head and said softly:

"Senior, ride the wind down and go see the stars in the lower realm."

Xiao Yongling nodded, rode the wind and flew down, and another Xiao Yongling flew up from under his feet, looked up at the sky, his face full of shock:

"The star signs in the sky are indeed completely opposite... it is no longer a realm. Entering this cave-heaven, there is a shadow in the lower realm..."

"Just now... everything on that mountain... was carried out exactly the same under this cloud layer!"

Li Xuanfeng was silent. He originally thought that the figures manifested by this cave-heaven would be like the stars in the cave-heaven with left and right differences. Now looking at it, they were exactly the same. Waiting for Xiao Yongling to digest the full shock, he said softly:

"Only... how can we ensure... that we are not the shadows cast by the cave-heaven."

The two tried for a while, shuttling in the sea of clouds, and the two above and below were indistinguishable. If the person above flew down, the person below flew up. If the two had not agreed in advance, they could not tell the difference at all.

Xiao Yongling was silent, and did not speak for a full dozen breaths, looking at the sea of clouds in a lost soul:

"The supernatural powers of ancient cultivators... are truly unfathomable!"

Tu Longjian killed his way into the hall, grabbed things and came out, flew for a while in the sea of clouds. Li Yuanjiao had already manifested his figure. He did not go to the mountain at all just now, but waited in the sea of clouds.

He stood in the sea of clouds, did not go down to fight, but aimed at Yu Muxian's appearance, and saw the majestic power on the person beside him, feeling very suppressed in his heart.

"Two late-stage Foundation Establishment... I don't know what Yu Muxian has to protect himself..."

Tang Shedu guarded Yu Muxian's side without leaving an inch. If he wanted to kill Yu Muxian, he was afraid he would have to deal with Tang Shedu together. His own strength was afraid that it was still somewhat lacking.

His face was somewhat ugly. Tu Longjian returned triumphantly, saw Li Yuanjiao's appearance, and asked:

"Senior, what is wrong."

Li Yuanjiao's worry on his face was real. He said in a low voice:

"Saw an enemy... already late-stage Foundation Establishment, somewhat worried about future matters."

Tu Longjian looked at him, saw the dense cold sweat on his forehead, and lowered his head thoughtfully. The two flew for a while, and he said softly:

"Senior... Tu Long has always remembered the kindness of those years in his heart. Why don't you tell me in detail?"

He paused, and saw Li Yuanjiao bow and say thank you. He continued to ask:

"I don't know who it is?"

"Yuwu Peak, Yu Muxian."

After Li Yuanjiao finished saying this, Tu Longjian suddenly fell silent, and it took half a long time before he opened his mouth:

"This person has Zifu spiritual tools on him, and more than one."

Li Yuanjiao raised his eyelids, pressed the sword in his hand silently, and thought in his heart:

'Things are troublesome...'

Tu Longjian seemed to have hesitation, stared for several breaths, and said softly:

"Senior... why is it necessary to kill him!"

Li Yuanjiao roughly told the hatred between the Yu family and the Li family, hesitated for a moment, and added:

"My Li family will go further in the future... whether it is for territory or connections... I must kill this person. If I cannot kill him and let him become Zifu, with my family's situation... there will be no day to stand out. Yu Muxian is heartless and will not hold back."

Tu Longjian pondered for a while, his expression was somewhat intriguing, and he said softly:

"In the final analysis, it is a struggle for interests, harming people's lives for interests."

Li Yuanjiao was silent for a breath, his voice somewhat hoarse:

"Not bad... Yu Muxian has been worshiping in Qingchi since he was eight years old, has always been closed-door to cultivate, and has never heard of any harm to people..."

Li Yuanjiao's eyes were slightly gray, his immortal foundation was shaken, and a sense of fear rose. He only felt powerless, and there was more and more sweat on his face, cold sweat dripping, and he could not help but say:

"We are different from you. In this life... the most is walking on thin ice, and the things we do are not glorious... or killing people for wealth, or killing people for self-protection, or killing people for the family... some people should not die."

"I don't know how many people died in my hands. I am not afraid of death, and I have never considered myself a righteous person, nor do I compare the weight. If I want to talk about it, my family has also killed quite a few people on Wangyue Lake, and there are not a few innocent people."

"The path is long, are all those blocking the road wicked people? It is never drinking heaven and earth dew, immortal aura floating, and can be governed by arching hands... My family... is just struggling."

Li Yuanjiao stood with his hands behind his back, the green blade at his waist buzzing. His Shengyang Mansion was cool, his expression gradually calmed down, and he said softly:

"I am not defending, but I am not a good person. My family treats civilians and rogue cultivators well, does not take blood to cultivate, and I rarely harm people for no reason. But when it comes to the survival of the future, Yuanjiao cannot retreat."

Tu Longjian looked at him blankly and replied:

"Senior misunderstood me..."

He was silent for a few breaths, seemingly having words to say, but heard a dull drum sound between heaven and earth.

"Dong!"

The two looked up at the sky at the same time, but saw a white light shining in the vast stars, a piece of cloud and mist scattered, and a jade wall rose vaguely in the flashing starlight.

The jade wall was covered with dense patterns, carved with names of all sizes, looking very blurred in a piece of cloud and mist. Several rays of flowing light rose from the horizon and flew toward the jade wall one after another.

"Dong!"

The second dull drum sound rang, Tu Longjian hurriedly said:

"Senior! The 【Three Drum Wall】 has fallen, let's go see it first, we will talk about this later!"

The two rode the wind and flew up. Tu Longjian's hand gently brushed over the black-red token, spiritual sense moved:

'What are you going crazy for! Why use supernatural powers to influence him for no reason!'

The token moved, and a weak spiritual sense was transmitted:

'You are the one who is crazy! Why go to offend that Yu Muxian for no reason! I know what kind of kindness you are still thinking about. Wouldn't it be just right for me to cast a spell to make him retreat?'

'It is just that my strength has declined... and this person's Dao heart is firm... actually let him break free by himself...'

Tu Longjian was furious, but it was not easy to attack at this moment, so he could only fly into the clouds gloomily and look at the distance.

The clouds were already occupied by quite a few figures. Several old acquaintances were standing in the clouds, watching the jade wall silently, waiting quietly. Tu Longjian said softly to Li Yuanjiao behind him:

"This is an opportunity that everyone has... Senior, wait a moment."

The two stood in the air for a while, and the hazy mist on that cloud slowly dissipated, seeing a jade wall carved with dense text. What was written were some ancient seal characters. Looking at it, they were all names of cultivation techniques.

The clouds were extremely wonderful. Basically, everyone in the cave-heaven was hidden in this cloud. All kinds of Daoist robes and magic clothes, colorful, magic treasures and spiritual objects, each emitting brilliance, all standing with magic spells pinched, staring intently.

"Dong!"

The third drum sound finally rang. No one moved at the moment. Two figures actually appeared in front of the jade wall.

One was tall and slender, dressed in white, the style was very ancient, always draped down, with two white silks hanging down, his face was hazy and could not be seen clearly, and a circle of golden and white light halos appeared behind his head. Looking at it, he was not an ordinary character.

The other looked like a youth, sitting in the clouds with his feet hanging, his back leaning against this Three Drum Wall, holding a jade pot in one hand, slowly pouring it into his mouth, his face was also hazy, and the other hand was on his knee.

This youth said softly:

"The junior has always had a matter that I don't understand. I don't know if the senior can answer it for me."

The standing figure nodded slightly, and the youth said softly:

"Is there really morality in the world?"

"I have traveled all over Jiangnan and the East Sea, and have seen many people and things... Disputes in the world, the first is out of interest, the second is out of emotion, and the third is morality."

He asked:

"Don't care about good people or bad people, killing them to help cultivation, can it be called morality?"

The white-clad figure shook his head affirmatively, and the youth laughed and continued:

"If killing people for cultivation is not allowed, then killing people to snatch treasures can be called morality?"

The white-clad figure shook his head slightly, and the youth continued:

"Then for snatching others' orthodoxy and magic treasures, hurting people and harming people, can it be called morality?"

"If it is for snatching others' things, killing people and hurting people is contrary to morality, then making people slaves is immoral. Making people slaves is immoral, then renting out land, collecting salary and salary is also a strong robbery! Buying low and selling high, defrauding heavy money is also contrary to morality!"

The youth's voice was light:

"If so, I ask the senior, since people gathered, when have the superiors ever had morality? Have the followers ever had morality?"

The white-clad person shook his head gently:

"It is precisely because of human greed that we receive the power of heaven and earth, so we must take action to rectify the world, correct the world, and maintain our own morality... enter the world to cultivate, to rectify the world."

The youth straightened his waist, stared at him, and his voice gradually became cold:

"If according to the senior's statement, the Wei Kingdom is still cultivating Mingyang, not to mention three wives and four concubines, it has created that set of imperial dignity, gathering power in one body, and the path of respecting superiors, where is there any meaning of governing by arching hands! When have the cultivators in the world today ever had morality?"

He sneered:

"This is your meaning. Cultivating immortals, cultivating immortals, cultivators do nothing, and they are born with sin! As long as there is any injustice in the world, you can blame it all on me. So what? So what? What does it have to do with me!"

His tone was icy, although he called him senior, he did not have much awe, looking bold and reckless. The white-clad person said softly:

"In ancient times, men and women were mixed, not ashamed of being unclothed, and intercourse was also morality. In the distant past, heaven and earth had no order, and spiritual treasures were obtained by those who could, which was also morality. Today, the emperor governs the world, and the monarch and father are also morality. Morality changes like Dao fruit, and is not a dead object."

"Oh?"

This youth laughed loudly, laughing until he was leaning back and forth. The white-clad person just watched quietly until the youth restrained his laughter and replied:

"So the senior's morality is like willow catkins in the wind, changing with time! Just staring at the sky, whatever the heavenly tribulation says, it is what it is, being led by the nose by these two reins, like an old ox plowing the land, pointing where to go!"

His tone was gloomy:

"Then the senior should remember well, maybe one day, killing people for cultivation is also morality! After all, the sin is not in me, the sin is in the time, the sin is in the heaven!"
