"Haha, you don't have to be so nervous. I won't take advantage of your distraction to vent your anger." Seeing that Ye Zan's reply was a bit unnatural, the former leader couldn't help laughing, and then said nonchalantly: "More What's more, I have been trapped here alone for tens of thousands of years, and it is rare to see anyone who can talk to me, so how can I bear to do anything to you! "
Hearing what the other party said, Ye Zan secretly sweated in his heart. Obviously, in the eyes of the other party, he was just a boredom reliever. Although this feeling is not good, it at least means that his distraction is safe for the time being. If you make the other person happy, maybe he still has a chance to leave this place unscathed.
"Senior, in this land of nothingness, there is nothing. I wonder how senior... survived these tens of thousands of years?" After Ye Zan calmed down, he first asked a question in his mind.
You know, if this was an ordinary restricted Jedi area, it would still be possible to live for tens of thousands of years with the lifespan that the opponent can have. After all, although ascetics do not rely much on food and drink, they still need a certain amount of "nutrition" if they want to maintain immortality. Otherwise, once the physical body cannot be maintained and decays, whatever remains of the soul, dharma, and the like will become rootless duckweeds.
However, this is a place of nothingness. Not to mention the usual food and drink, there is not even aura or air to breathe. In such an environment, no matter what kind of person they are, they cannot obtain any supplement from the outside world and can only consume their own mana to maintain the vitality of their physical bodies.
However, a person's magic power is limited after all. Not to mention that the leader was only in the Dharma Realm at the beginning, so what if he was in the Tongtian Realm. When Ye Zan took care of Tongtian Peak, even a powerful person like Tongtian Supreme could not persist in the Tongtian Peak formation for thousands of years. So, how did this leader persist for tens of thousands of years until Ye Zan arrived
"Oh, I just used the art of suspended animation. Tens of thousands of years have passed for you, and I have only spent hundreds of years." The former leader replied casually, but he did not He had no intention of talking to Ye Zan in detail, and then urged: "You don't have to talk about him. I am very curious now about how I am arranged outside."
The art of feigning death
Although the other party did not elaborate, when Ye Zan heard this and combined with the following sentence, he understood the reason why the other party could live for such a long time. To put it bluntly, the other party's so-called suspended animation technique should be like what people often call turtle breath, or like some animals hibernating, completely adjusting themselves to a state of minimal consumption.
For example, the heartbeat of an ordinary person may be sixty or seventy times a minute. So, if it becomes six or seven times a minute, it is equivalent to extending the time ten times. Although this is not accurate, it is probably what it means. That is why the former leader said that he had only spent hundreds of years.
With the power of a Dharma Master, there is no problem in maintaining the immortal body for hundreds of years without external supplies. Although, in that state, the other party may lose most of its responses to the outside world, there are no other dangers in this place of nothingness.
Of course, Ye Zan's purpose of changing the subject obviously failed, and the other party was still asking for outside opinions.
"This..." Ye Zan hesitated for a moment, but thought that he was just distracted, and the other party didn't look angry, so he said: "This junior has indeed listened to several elders of the Moyi Sect, and they have said something about Some things about the senior. They said that the senior was the last leader of the Moi religion... "
Ye Zan had just finished speaking when the former leader suddenly interrupted him and asked curiously, "You said that I am the last leader of the Moyi Sect?"
After all, the Mayi religion changed to the current "elder collegial" system only after driving the former leader into the land of nothingness. Therefore, it is reasonable for the former leader not to know that his actions back then caused such a big change in the Moi religion.
Ye Zan paused for a moment, and after listening to the other party's inquiry, he nodded and said: "Yes, according to them, what the seniors did back then made them feel that one person had the power alone, which was not good for the Moyi Cult and the entire domain. A good thing. Therefore, since then, the Mayi religion has never reestablished a leader, and all matters must be decided through consultation among the elders."
"Haha, this really seems like what they do!" When the former leader heard this, a look of understanding suddenly appeared on his face, and he shook his head as if with some emotion, and then asked: "So, you guys I should have told you what I did back then, right?"
"Yes!" Ye Zan nodded.
"Then let's continue talking and listen!" the former leader said with great interest.
"They told the juniors that in order to break the shackles of heaven and earth in this domain and allow themselves to break through the realm of Dharma, the seniors had made countless attempts, and finally chose the path of... blood sacrifice to the common people. So, all the members of the sect back then Elders, in order to save the world, we worked together to destroy the conspiracy of our seniors and forced them into this land of nothingness." Ye Zan said slowly, briefly telling the information he heard from Elder Yu and others. This former leader.
From Elder Yu and others, Ye Zan has not heard anything too detailed about what happened back then. Therefore, in front of the former leader, Ye Zan could only say so much, but the cause and effect was relatively clear.
To put it bluntly, according to the people of the Moyi Sect, the former leader is like a world-destroying demon king who frantically wants to sacrifice all the people in the world in order to gain more power. The elders of the Moyi Religion acted as the so-called saviors. They stopped the evil deeds of the Great Demon King at the cost of their lives, and finally restored peace to the Moyi Territory.
After Ye Zan said this, he felt a little uneasy and could only stand there quietly, not knowing how the other party would react after hearing this.
However, what Ye Zan didn't expect was that after hearing what was said outside, the former leader did not look angry. Instead, he nodded with a smile and said, "So, this is how they describe me. This is what I expected."
Seeing the other party's reaction, Ye Zan felt a little confused and couldn't help asking tentatively: "Senior, what do you mean, is there any discrepancy between what they said and the facts, or is there no discrepancy?"
In Ye Zan's opinion, no matter whether the former leader is really what the outside world said, he should be able to defend himself at this time. If the other party is really a big devil, facing someone who may help him get out, he must try his best to leave a good impression on others. If the other party is wronged, then naturally he has to defend himself and expose the despicable faces of those outside.
Of course, Ye Zan did not completely believe what Elder Yu and others said from the beginning. After all, history is written by the victors. However, if he wants to win over such an ally for Yu Qingzong, then naturally it is not that important whether the other party's statement is true or false.
To put it harshly, what happened back then? Whether the creatures in this realm are dead or alive has nothing to do with Ye Zan. He is not a person who takes the world as his own responsibility, and will not have a sense of justice over irrelevant things. Therefore, compared with the benefits of forming an alliance with the Moi Cult, even if what the Moi Cult told were lies, he would not refuse to associate with them.
Now, Ye Zan asked the former leader if there were any discrepancies in those descriptions, and it was more to take care of the other person's emotions. After all, if possible, he didn't want to lose a ray of distraction and the void armor used by this robot in vain.
However, the former leader was also a human spirit. He clearly guessed Ye Zan's thoughts and asked jokingly: "Haha, do you care whether there are any discrepancies in this?"
Ye Zan, who had guessed his thoughts, smiled slightly awkwardly and said: "Logically speaking, these are all things that senior and Mo Yi taught him. There is no reason for outsiders to get to the bottom of it. However, isn't senior the same? By the way, do you want someone to chat with you? Of course, this chat needs to have some topics, so if you don’t mind, I really want to hear what’s going on in this.”
The former leader looked at Ye Zan. Perhaps he was satisfied with Ye Zan's knowledge. The smile on his face remained unchanged, and he nodded and said: "Haha, you probably think that I should defend myself at this time." ? Unfortunately, although their statement is somewhat inconsistent with the truth, one thing is correct. "
Although he was told his thoughts again, Ye Zan was somewhat immune to this, and he immediately asked without changing his face: "Which point?"
There was no trace of shame or regret on the face of the former leader, and he said as if everything was taken for granted: "Back then, I really wanted to sacrifice blood to all living beings in this world in order to break the shackles of heaven and earth in this world. At this point, they That’s right!”
Although Ye Zan is not a righteous person, he still couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart when he heard the other party personally admitting this matter.
As an outsider, Ye Zan has no concerns in the Moyi Realm. He really does not care about the life and death of all living beings in this world. However, that does not mean that he has the "courage" to personally do something like that to destroy all sentient beings in this world.
Indeed, before Ye Zan came to the Moyi realm, he prepared a lot of "big killer weapons" as trump cards to prevent the Moyi religion from being detrimental to him. However, he only used it just in case, to deter the enemy at the critical moment. Moreover, when the critical moment comes, there is actually a question mark as to whether he will use those things.
Seeing that the other party said this indifferently, Ye Zan felt a chill in his heart and felt quite puzzled, so he asked: "In this case, I don't know where the discrepancy between what the senior said before is." Woolen cloth?"
This blood sacrifice to the common people in the realm is already the most serious "accusation", but the former leader of the Moi Cult directly accepted it. So, apart from the most serious "accusation" in Elder Yu's description, is there anything else worthy of confusing right and wrong
The former leader accepted the "accusation" calmly, and then said with a hint of displeasure: "I want to sacrifice blood to the common people and break the shackles of this world, but it is not as they said, just so that I can break through the realm. That year , if my plan is successful, not only will I be able to break through the realm, but other people will also benefit from it. Even the avenue of heaven and earth in the Moyi realm will also be upgraded to the avenue of the first-class realm. Isn't this a meritorious deed? Something immeasurable?”
Ye Zan was very surprised by the other party's words. It turned out that the "big devil" in front of him actually had a heart to "save the world."
However, after thinking about the other party's words carefully, Ye Zan had to admit that there was indeed some truth in them.
If the other party is really what Elder Yu and the others said, they are just trying to break through the realm for themselves. So, blood sacrifice to the common people in the realm is actually not a very efficient choice, which means that it is a bit "excessive". Although there is a big gap between Dharma Realm and Tongtian Realm. But that gap will not be filled by the lives of the people in the domain.
As mentioned before, although due to the problem of the great road, even if people in this realm reach the outer realm, it is impossible to break through the realm immediately. Especially people like them who already have their own avenue and have reached a certain level of understanding of the avenue of heaven and earth.
But that doesn't mean that they really have no chance at all, it's just that there will be great difficulties. For others, those difficulties may be difficult to solve. But compared to the people in the Blood Sacrifice Realm, those difficulties are actually nothing.
In other words, if this former leader really just wants to break through the realm by himself and be promoted from the Dharma Realm to the Heavenly Supreme, it seems that going to the outer realm is a better choice.
Although, that means that he has to put down the power of this world and go to live in the outside world as if he had left home, and he may never be able to come back. However, with his cultivation in Dharma Realm, he can also quickly gain corresponding status in the outer realm. The great sects in the outer realms would probably promise him various benefits and ask him to be the guest elder, and his cultivation resources would definitely be indispensable.
And this former leader did not choose to go to the outside world, but chose the path of blood sacrifice that was even more difficult and would be burdened with infamy. Then, unless he is attached to the position of leader, it is really as he said, and it is not just for his own realm breakthrough.
In fact, from the perspective of being superior to human beings, the actions of this former leader are not completely condemnable. It seems that it is not entirely a bad thing to raise the avenue of heaven and earth in this realm through blood sacrifices to the common people in this realm, so that the Moyi realm can reach the same height as other realms.
