Yan Lu waited for a few days and found that Shang Ke had been maintaining the state of the little mushroom without any change, so he simply took the rotten wood with the mushrooms on the road together.
He didn't have a clear goal, he just followed Little Mushroom as a matter of course. The guy didn't feel it when he was alive and kicking around him, but now that he's quiet, he realizes that life is really lonely as snow. In his blank world, it seems that such a mushroom has been planted. I always feel a little in the way, but I can't bear to unplug it.
"Little Mushroom, if you don't wake up, I'll eat you." Yan Lu threatened while turning the rotten wood in his hand boredly.
Shang Ke was turned so that the mushroom head trembled, almost not falling off the wood.
The brilliance flashed, and Shang Ke, who was white, turned into a human figure and appeared in front of Yan Lu.
Yan Lu looked at him up and down, and he felt that he had lost weight again. His waist, which was originally very slender, was now even more shaky.
He stretched out his hand and pinched it, it was slippery, not at all fleshy.
Shang Ke ducked for a while, then quickly took out a piece of clothing from the storage ring and put it on.
"Is it hurt?" Yan Lu asked.
"Well." Shang Ke moved his hands and feet, and then said to Yan Lu with a smile, "After these days of deliberation, I decided to take you to the virtual realm."
"Void Heaven Secret Realm?"
"Yes." Shang Ke explained brightly, "It is rumored that there are treasures left by the ancient gods hidden in this place, and there must be exercises suitable for you to practice."
According to the original development of this world, when the Demon Lord and the Demon Mushroom were making waves in the cultivation world, they not only destroyed several sects, but also excavated many historical sites. But what is horrifying is that they only kept the magic cultivation techniques and burned most of the righteous cultivation techniques. As a result, thousands of years later, the world of self-cultivation has fallen into a state of embarrassment where it is difficult to find a single method, and the number of practitioners who have become immortals is even rarer. Demons are prosperous and Taoism is low, and the world of self-cultivation has lasted for five thousand years in the era of demonic chaos.
And the culprit was the one next to Shang Ke. The system asked him to lead Yan Lu to the right path, rather than killing him. It is estimated that it is not only for the peace of the cultivation world, but also to make him pay for karma and revive the cultivation world.
The killing started because of him, and it will be extinguished because of him.
Determine the target, and the two go to the virtual world together. On the way, Shang Ke did not change his original intention and still took pleasure in helping others. He was chased by others to hide in Tibet several times because of his identity as a ghost. But he has no complaints, always sticks to the principle, and would rather hurt himself than harm a living being.
One day Yan Lu finally couldn't help but ask: "With your nature, why did you fall into the devil's way?"
Shang Ke said with a smile: "Even if I become a demon, I won't cause harm to the world. But if I let other people become demons, it may not be able to preserve the peace of one party."
"No matter how much you do, who will appreciate it?" Yan Lu felt that this little mushroom was really stupid.
"I don't need others to appreciate it." Shang Ke stood in the green mountains and green waters, opened his arms, and said loudly, "Look, how beautiful this world is. I came here to see all the beautiful things, stay happy, and abandon them. Worry, make a tall and majestic mushroom."
Yan Lu was silent for a moment and said truthfully: "Even if you become a demon god, you won't be tall and majestic."
Shang Ke glared at him: "I'm short-hearted, and a superficial person like you who has a good skin will not understand."
Yan Lu did not comment on this, but said quietly: "The way of cultivation, if you don't advance, you will retreat. As a monster, but you deviate from the devil's way, your strength may never improve."
"Didn't I still have you?"
The words that came out of his mouth caused a circle of ripples in Yan Lu's heart, and the smile without the city government was like a lotus flower blooming in front of his eyes. He didn't know why Xiao Mushroom was so calm and uneasy. It was obvious that every time he encountered danger, he just watched from the sidelines and never thought of helping him.
"I won't save you." Yan Lu said coldly, "Even if you die, I won't save you."
"Of course." Shang Ke said calmly, "With your current cultivation, you are simply unable to fight against those who are cultivating. It is a wise move not to save."
Yan Lu was silent.
Shang Ke looked at him again: "Let me ask you, if you have great strength, would you take action?"
You must answer "yes" to him, or you will be friends immediately! Shang Ke's eyes were bright.
"Well." Yan Lu stood with his hands behind his back and replied, "Yes." He would kill all those people.
Shang Ke almost burst into tears, it's not easy! He finally had a place in this devil's heart.
Two months later, Shang Ke and Yan Lu arrived at Mount Heyu, where the secret realm of the virtual sky is located.
The entrance to the secret realm is under a cold spring. There is a guardian beast in the cold spring. For the first time, Shang Ke took advantage of his species to overturn it with a drop of toxin-containing blood essence, and then successfully entered the secret realm.
The secret realm of the virtual sky is the easiest place to enter among all the historical sites known to Shang Ke. If it weren't for the secret entrance, I'm afraid it would have been looted long ago.
After that, under the illumination of the "protagonist's halo", the two of them crossed many obstacles and successfully arrived at the Treasure Pavilion.
However, the moment Yan Lu stepped into the Treasure Pavilion, the surrounding scene suddenly changed, and a huge coercion approached him, forcing him to lean back, but he resisted and did not retreat.
"Humph." A cold hum sounded in his ear, like a thunderous shock, causing Yan Lu to tremble.
Shang Ke, who was behind him, didn't hear it, but it felt a little strange to see Yan Lu kept taking a step and standing motionless at the door.
He bypassed Yan Lu and stepped into the gate of Treasure Pavilion.
Yan Lu's pupils shrank, unable to remind him aloud, he could only watch Shang Ke pass by him.
Originally thought that Shang Ke would be stunned like him, but he didn't expect him to walk into the Treasure Pavilion without any hindrance.
Yan Lu felt strange in his heart, and the spiritual consciousness that remained in the Treasure Pavilion was equally strange.
The Void Heaven Secret Realm was the place where the ancient immortals escaped from the world before the calamity. After his calamity, he deliberately left a touch of spiritual knowledge, on the one hand to help those who are destined to open the treasure pavilion, and on the other hand to prevent the people in the magic way from entering.
Yan Lu stepped in just now, and was immediately noticed by that wipe of spiritual consciousness. Yan Lu has no demonic energy, and has a very high potential for immortality. However, his spiritual sense can easily see the demonic nature hidden in his soul. Immortal root demon nature, such a contradictory existence, is actually integrated into one. Become a god and become a devil, but there is a thin line. But the demonic nature is obviously stronger than Xiangen, full of blood and darkness, such as Demon Cry and Devil May Cry, which is terrifying.
Spiritual consciousness does not allow such a dangerous person to enter the treasure pavilion. If he is allowed to practice the exercises, it is impossible to guarantee that unforeseen turmoil will not be brought to the cultivation world in the future.
Just when he wanted to expel this person, another person stepped into the restraint of the treasure pavilion.
Consciousness was shocked again.
The man who entered first had the qualities of an immortal, but contained a devilish heart; while the young man who came later had a body of cultivating devils, but possessed an incomparably pure divinity. The two are diametrically opposed, yet equally contradictory.
The moment the boy stood side by side with the man, the dangerous aura that his spiritual sense sensed from the man disappeared. The world, which was originally dead, seems to be alive, with flowers blooming everywhere, yin and yang, and endless life.
Such a peculiar sight, spiritual consciousness has never seen before.
Is it because he has been out of touch for so long that he is out of touch with the times? Is there such a wonderful thing everywhere in the world of comprehension today
These two people, divided into a devil, combined into a god, it is really incredible!
Spirit Consciousness opened the restriction and let them in. He was eager to see what they would look like in the future.
Yan Lu discovered that the force that imprisoned him disappeared shortly after Shang Ke entered. He looked at Shang Ke next to him, and then looked at the portrait hanging on the front wall. The portrait was of an immortal old man. It seems ordinary, but it has an air of majesty that is hard to ignore.
Yan Lu looked at it for a while, then withdrew his gaze, and began to look at the treasure pavilion. There were not only various exercises and secrets in the pavilion, but also many rare treasures.
Yan Lu was not in a hurry to fetch the treasure, and he always had some vigilance against the portrait on the wall in his heart.
Shang Ke didn't care, and was open-minded, but was not limited by it.
Just as he was having a great time searching for treasures, the spiritual sense in the portrait spoke: "Little guy, don't worry."
Shang Ke raised his head, looked at the portrait, and asked Yan Lu, "Is he talking just now?"
Yan Lu nodded expressionlessly.
Although Shang Ke found the secret realm of the virtual sky through the "prophet", not every detail of development is clear. The existence of spiritual consciousness is only a vague impression in advance. Now hearing him speak, the context is gradually clear.
"Who is the senior?" Shang Ke asked.
"The old Taoist 'Luo He' has survived tribulations for thousands of years to become immortals, leaving behind a touch of spiritual consciousness, waiting for those who are destined here."
Shang Ke said with a smile: "Senior agreed to let us in, presumably we are the predestined person of Senior."
"Hehe, the little guy is very smart." Namo continued, "You can use the things in the treasury as much as you can. However, there are a few treasures that have restrictions, and I will teach you how to lift them, lest you be banned. injured."
In the last few sentences of Lingzhi, "you" is used instead of "you", indicating that he only wants to teach Shang Ke how to lift the ban.
Yan Lu didn't care, he knew the nature of the little mushroom, as long as he spoke, he would give anything.
Shang Ke asked, "Senior, we have received a gift from you. I don't know how to repay it?"
"There is no need to repay, I just hope that you will cultivate with great concentration, get rid of evil thoughts, and finally achieve the right path."
After the spiritual sense finished speaking, he passed all the methods of lifting the ban to Shang Ke, and then secretly said: [The man around you has a magical nature, and you must be extremely careful in the future.]
Shang Ke also replied in a secret language: [I know that he was about to transcend the calamity and become a demon, but I forcibly blocked him, causing him to fail in transcending the calamity and forget his past.]
For a touch of spiritual knowledge, Shang Ke doesn't mind telling the truth.
[It turns out that it is no wonder that although he has immortal roots, he has a demonic nature... Wait, why does a demon with a great cultivation base have immortal roots?]Under the contemplation of spiritual sense, he said in amazement, [It's you!]
Shang Ke smiled: [I ruined his cultivation, I would like to become a demon for him and help him attain the Tao.]
Spiritual consciousness finally understood why they saw such a strange sight in these two people. The young man in front of him, for the sake of a devil, did not hesitate to fall into the devil's way, to help him enter the fairyland with the body of the devil.
This reminded him of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who made a compassionate vow: "The hell is not empty, and I vow not to become a Buddha. Only when all sentient beings are saved can I attain Bodhi. If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?"
Originally thought that there would be no other person as merciful and merciful as Earth Store Bodhisattva in the world, but now he found the same compassion in a monster.
[Child,] Lingzhi said warmly, [I believe that you will be able to achieve what you want. Laodao has another gift for you.]
A golden light flickered, gradually condensing into a seed in the air, and then slowly sinking into Shang Ke's right chest.
"What is this?" Shang Ke asked curiously, touching his chest.
There was silence all around, and no one responded.
