Chapter 1019: The Ghost World, Eternal Life
At this moment, deep in the bottom of the Immortal Burial Valley.
The Qingxuan Supreme Guan Xuelan was now covered in divine light as she looked at the vines and tentacles in front of her that had been frozen into ice chips and shattered all over the ground.
She was breathing heavily, with fatigue evident in her eyes.
behind her.
The situation of Xu Wanqing and Yuchi Chunlei was even worse. Their bodies were covered with scars, their breath was extremely weak, and they sat on the ground in shock.
The three of them had just experienced a life-and-death crisis.
When Gu Xiu left in the direction of the Immortal Stairway, Guan Xuelan and the other two did the same, almost escaping from that ghost place that could suck away all the spiritual energy. And like Gu Xiu, Gu Xiu did not choose to try to climb the Immortal Stairway, and Guan Xuelan and the other two also did not choose to enter the bottomless underground abyss.
They just want to leave this hellhole as soon as possible while ensuring their own safety.
Can……
What the three of them didn't expect was.
They were unwilling to enter the underground abyss, but a thick vine had already grown in the abyss, rising up into the sky, and countless branches grew out of it, frantically grabbing all the spiritual people or objects around them, including Guan Xuelan and the other two.
The three people who were about to escape were caught off guard and were pulled onto the thick vines. They became its nutrients and had the little spiritual energy in their bodies madly absorbed by them.
At that moment, all three of them felt that they were doomed.
Because the vines were extremely terrifying, even though they struggled with all their might, they were still unable to break free from the vines' entanglement and could only watch as the power in their bodies was absorbed.
Fortunately.
In desperation, Qingxiao took action.
This old monster, who has existed for who knows how many years, is indeed worthy of the title of knowledgeable. After the initial observation, he quickly saw the origin of the monster at the bottom of the valley, and gave Guan Xuelan instructions, almost guiding Guan Xuelan step by step to launch a counterattack.
This time, Guan Xuelan naturally didn't dare to disobey in any way, and strictly followed Qingxiao's orders.
From the flow of spiritual energy, to attacking the weaknesses, to opening the Supreme Realm, and finally to shattering the vines, although a lot of spiritual energy was consumed, in the end, she still succeeded. Under Qingxiao's guidance, she cut off the vines that could not be broken by normal means.
He looked back at his two apprentices.
Guan Xuelan felt a sense of accomplishment, especially when she saw the strange look in the eyes of her two disciples as they looked at her.
For a moment, she even felt like she had returned to the time when Qingxuan had just become a holy land.
She is invincible and powerful. No one dares to disobey her. Everyone fears and admires her.
but.
Before I even started reminiscing about the past, I was interrupted by the clear night.
"Don't just stand there. If I'm guessing correctly, the real entity at the bottom of the valley must be extremely formidable. If you don't want to die here, kill it as soon as possible!"
"Ah?" Guan Xuelan was stunned for a moment, looking at the dark abyss below. "Do I... do I really have to go down?"
"You are the Supreme, how can you be so cowardly?" Qing Xiao couldn't help but complain, but he still said to Guan Xuelan: "If I'm not mistaken, this place should be a ghost world, and you are trapped here. The only way out is down there!"
"The ghost world? What is that?" Guan Xuelan was confused.
This time Qing Xiao did not laugh at her ignorance. Instead, after a moment of silence, he said solemnly:
"The Ghost Realm, this is an ancient secret method. Even though I don't know much about it, one thing is certain: if one can build the Ghost Realm, then someone has achieved eternal life."
"Eternal...eternal life???" Guan Xuelan's eyes suddenly widened in disbelief.
Qing Xiao nodded: "Yes, eternal life. Those who arrange the ghost world can obtain eternal life. Please note that this is not immortality, with infinite lifespan, but true eternal life. Even if the body is destroyed, the soul is scattered, and the cultivation is lost, they can still be resurrected through this world."
"This... There is such a powerful method in this world. Teach me quickly, teach me how to do it?" Guan Xuelan became excited.
The purpose of practicing Taoism is nothing more than to achieve immortality.
As for eternal life.
That was something she hadn't even dared to think about, but now that she had heard of such a method, Guan Xuelan felt extremely excited. If she had such an ability to achieve immortality, then there would be nothing in this world that she would be afraid of. Rebuilding Qingxuan would also become extremely simple.
only……
While her heart was burning with passion, Qing Xiao shook his head: "Eternal life is indeed eternal life, but it is only pseudo-eternal life, and it requires a huge price to pay."
"Fake immortality is also immortality. For the sake of immortality, any price is worth paying." Guan Xuelan said.
"You don't understand." Qing Xiao shook his head and poured a basin of cold water on him:
"What if I told you that if you wanted to obtain this eternal life, you would have to accept and give up your most precious and important beauty, allowing it to be tainted by filth and completely transformed into evil? What if I told you that you would also have to personally kill and refine the people you care about most, and that for the rest of your life, you would be like a walking corpse, constantly tormented by your inner demons, completely broken and unable to find freedom?"
"This... this is still considered eternal life?" Guan Xuelan was incredulous.
Qing Xiao said: "So, the price to pay is extremely high. It requires great luck and a ruthless person to achieve it."
"If I go down now, wouldn't I be courting death if someone could use such a method?" Guan Xuelan thought about her current situation and asked worriedly.
"That's not the case." Qing Xiao told Guan Xuelan:
"Using the ghost world to achieve eternal life is extremely difficult. It requires separating one's yin and yang, taking out one's most important and precious possession, or one's true heart, and sealing it away for eternity. Then, by borrowing the power of the immortal, demon, and mortal realms, supplemented by some extremely scarce materials and combined with immense luck, there is only a slight chance of success."
"The reason for eternal life, to put it bluntly, is that the original mind trapped here is always indestructible, and the external self can also survive forever. But at the same time, since it will be trapped here for generations, it means that the original self here will not be very strong."
"If you rush in rashly, you might die here. But if I'm here, not only will this not be dangerous for you, but it will be a tremendous opportunity!"
Having said that, Guan Xuelan probably understood.
Qingxiao's explanation was complicated, but in fact the principles of this so-called ghost world were very simple.
It means dividing yourself into two halves, which contain all your original heart, kindness or some beautiful things, and burying them here forever. Because it is the ghost world, there is naturally no such thing as lifespan. Theoretically, as long as these original hearts are not dead, the other half of yourself in the outside world will continue to exist.
natural.
If the true heart within escapes, the external self will also be in danger.
But similarly, for others, if they could dig out the other person's true self here and control it in their own hands, it would be equivalent to having a slave that can be driven at any time. Even if they refine the other person, the gains they can get will be unimaginable.
after all.
Being able to create the existence of the ghost world is definitely not something that an ordinary supreme being can compare to.
"It's hard to say whether it's good luck or bad luck. The Yin and Yang realms have already appeared. According to the principle of yin and yang, a Yang realm should also emerge. It should be on the way you came. If you choose that path, not only will you not encounter any danger, you can even enjoy all the spiritual energy and vitality that the Yin and Yang realms have absorbed since their appearance."
"But similarly, it's impossible to find the most precious true heart in the Yang Soul Divine Realm. If you don't find your true heart, you will be trapped here forever until all the spiritual energy in your body is absorbed."
Hearing Qingxiao's words, Guan Xuelan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly thought of the gains she had made several times before that were intercepted by others. Then she thought of the fork in the road she encountered when she just came here.
this moment.
Her mood became bad.
Only now did she finally understand what had happened to her.
"go!"
"I will definitely seize the greatest opportunity here!"
Without hesitation, under Qingxiao's instructions, Guan Xuelan gritted her teeth and headed towards the abyss below with a heart full of resentment.
