Chapter 29: The Theory of the Ancient Great World

"I have read your mission report. Using wisdom to eliminate a Painted Skin Ghost, you did a good job."

Lu Yang was happy in his heart. It is not easy to get a compliment from the Senior Sister, and the trip to Taiping Township was worth it.

After Yun Zhi gave a faint comment, thinking of the meaning behind the Painted Skin Ghost, there was some gloom between her brows.

"For a hundred years, with the arrival of the Great World, all forces hidden in the dark are ready to move, ghosts are rampant, and this Great Xia Dynasty seems calm, but I don't know how many disasters are hidden in it. The Great Xia Dynasty cares about face and refuses to seek help from the five great Immortal Sects." Yun Zhi sighed softly. Naturally, this was not said to Lu Yang.

Lu Yang noticed a word in the Senior Sister's words: "The arrival of the Great World?"

He hadn't heard of this term, and he hadn't seen it in books.

Yun Zhi's voice was ethereal, as if not in this world: "A hundred years ago, the Supreme Elder of the Tiance Sect walked out of the dead gate, blood spilled on the Qing River, and asked the sky with his life. What he calculated is unknown."

The Tiance Sect claims that everything can be measured and nothing can be solved. It pays attention to the clarity of heaven and the retribution of cause and effect. It is they who questioned the insurance of the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce.

"The Supreme Elder then announced to the world that the Great World has arrived, reproducing the brilliant prosperity of ancient cultivation."

"According to past practice, it is a good harvest for the five great Immortal Sects to produce one single spirit root in a session. Your session appeared an ancient barbarian, three single spirit roots, and an immortal body rarer than single spirit roots. I heard that other Immortal Sects have also recruited many geniuses no less than single spirit roots in the past hundred years. From these, one can see a corner of the ancient Great World."

Yun Zhi's rare mouth hooked a faint smile, as if mocking: "The ancient Great World is said to be prosperous, but it is actually extremely chaotic. The Great World is also a troubled world. Various forces and interests are intertwined, demons and ghosts are intriguing, human hearts are unpredictable, life and death are determined by heaven, and countless innocent people died before a cultivation powerhouse appeared. In terms of peace and stability, it is far inferior to the present."

Lu Yang felt that the Senior Sister smiled very coldly.

Lu Yang had seen descriptions of the ancient Great World in books. The ancient Great World respects strength, the winner is king, there is no distinction between righteous and demonic, and the human race was only one of the strong at that time, far from the status of the overlord of the continent today.

Demons came out, dragons fought, geniuses crossed the world, used blood and bones to forge prestige, decisive in killing, and countless powerhouses became legends respected by millions of people in this process, the goals that cultivators could not reach in their lives, which was really exciting, wishing they could travel to that era and show their talents.

It was precisely in such troubled times that all kinds of heroes had the opportunity to emerge.

But seeing the Senior Sister's expression, Lu Yang realized that the ancient Great World was a good thing for geniuses, but a hellish nightmare for ordinary people.

Living in the morning and dying in the evening, life is not guaranteed. A common confrontation between the upper layers, their own clansmen will become slaves and prisoners, enslaved and slaughtered by others, without any stability.

The description of the ancient Great World in the book is magnificent, because the author himself is a high-level cultivator, and his heart yearns for the scene at that time.

If it were from the perspective of ordinary people, it would be a completely different picture.

Lu Yang realized that after he became a cultivator, he seemed to have ignored the fact that he was once a mortal.

This shouldn't be.

Yun Zhi didn't talk too much about this topic. This was too early for Lu Yang: "What else do you want to ask?"

"Then what, Senior Sister, do you have any magic spells for traveling?"

"Naturally, there are, but what do you want this kind of magic spell for?"

The Wendao Sect and the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce have an agreement. Wendao Sect disciples go out, and the expenses for living and traveling regarding the Landing Money Chamber of Commerce are all recorded in the Wendao Sect's account. Lu Yang doesn't even need to pay spirit stones for taking the flying boat. Where is the magic spell for traveling used?

Lu Yang scratched his head, rarely showing an embarrassed look: "Nothing, just want to learn, to save money for our Wendao Sect."

Yun Zhi didn't doubt him: "You have this heart, and I, as a senior sister, can't refuse you. You have just established your foundation, and there are not many magic spells you can use."

Lu Yang laughed and rubbed his hands: "It's fine if there are usable ones."

"I have watched your practice this year, worthy of the name of Sword Spirit Root. I have a flying sword technique here, which can let you step on a flying sword and roam the five lakes and four seas."

"There is also a movement technique, tempering spiritual sense, making your spiritual sense strong enough to move your body, flying at will, but the speed is not as fast as the flying sword technique, but it wins in saving effort, and tempering spiritual sense is also helpful for future battles."

"Transformation technique is also an optional one. After learning it, you can transform into birds, soaring in the sky, free and easy."

"Junior brother, which one do you choose?" Yun Zhi casually said a few magic spells for Lu Yang to choose.

"..."

"Is there any magic spell that doesn't need to fly?"

Yun Zhi looked at Lu Yang, who was blushing, with great interest: "Oh, why do you want to learn a traveling magic spell that doesn't need to fly?"

Lu Yang stammered and couldn't say a word for a long time.

Yun Zhi didn't pursue it any further: "There are also magic spells that don't need to fly, but this magic spell requires extremely high understanding of Dao techniques, and also has requirements for magic power. You learn it now, maybe it's a bit early."

"It's okay, try it first, it doesn't matter if it doesn't succeed."

"This magic spell is called Shrinking Ground to an Inch. The difficulty of practice is extremely high. This is the mental formula. After you are proficient in reciting it, I will formally teach you."

Yun Zhi raised her jade hand, casually opened a space, took out a golden paper, and neatly filled it with elegant fonts.

Lu Yang carefully took the golden paper. This thing looked expensive. If he tore it, it would be terrible.

After Lu Yang left, Yun Zhi closed her eyes and continued to practice. With a gust of gloomy wind, an old and resentful voice came to her ears, which was chilling, like falling into an ice cellar.

"My good apprentice, how long are you going to lock me up?"

That voice seemed to come from the Nine Nether Hell, creepy, spine-chilling!

"I haven't taught you many times. It is not easy for you to practice to today's realm. I am proud of you."

"It is often said that a teacher for a day is a father for life. You cannot ignore my teaching grace and imprison me here."

"The Wendao Sect has had no Sect Master for ten years. You act as the Sect Master on my behalf. Are you not afraid of gossip and affecting your Senior Sister's glorious image?"

"It's fine if you accept an apprentice on behalf of the teacher and accept such a sword genius for me. I won't pursue it deeply."

"But you should at least let me out, let me see my apprentice. If he doesn't worship the real person but only worships my portrait, wouldn't it be a joke if it got out?"

The voice contained some kind of magic, stirring the heartstrings, making people unconsciously want to believe, unseal the seal, and release the owner of the voice.

Yun Zhi practiced with all her heart and turned a deaf ear.

The old voice saw that Yun Zhi was unmoved, and thousands of words turned into a long sigh, disappearing completely, as if it had never appeared.
