Chapter 1092 Eye of the Ancestral Spirit
"After all this time, it turns out that the ancestor spirit is you."

Fu Qingzhou listened to the story and smiled bitterly, "So? Then you suppressed all the beast spirits on the grassland?"

"more or less."

The smoker laid on the roof of the dilapidated temple with his hands resting on his head, looking at the vast blue sky, and said calmly: "Looking back now, it was actually not worth it."

"What do you mean?" Fu Qingzhou sat in front of the dilapidated temple, playing with the damaged head of the statue.

"Those beast spirits are quite strong."

The Smoker sighed, "Every time I suppress one, I have to spend half my life... and they are not stupid. Many times they have joined hands to deal with me. After fighting them for several years, I have been hurt more and more."

"Yes, every time I suppress them, the Heavenly Sword can give me more feedback, but... I still can't comprehend it!"

“It looked like it was right in front of the door, but after walking a hundred or a thousand steps, it was still in front of the door!”

It cursed, "If it weren't for that eye, I would have thrown the sword away and there would be no future!"

"Eye?"

Fu Qingzhou's pupils lit up.

The Smoker curled his lips and said, "Yeah...that day, the Heavenly Sword grew an eye."

……

"Cough, cough, cough..."

In Yandu City and the Ancestral Temple, Cang Yun was alone in the huge bedroom coughing up blood.

Over the years, the people who gathered around him had built a small town and even built an ancestral temple specifically for him, Cang Yun.

Why is it called Zuling?

Because one time when Cang Yun led his men to suppress a powerful beast spirit, it roared and shouted...

"See? Beast spirits are nothing special! These beasts are just a bunch of grandsons. If I want, I can easily become their ancestor! They are beast spirits, and I am the ancestor spirit!"

But this is easy.

The people on the grassland worshipped him as a god and sent him countless magical herbs and flowers. As a result, although he suffered a lot of injuries when suppressing those beast spirits, he was always able to recover.

only……

"why why!"

Cang Yun gritted his teeth and held the Heavenly Sword tightly: "Why! You have sensed the power of those beast spirits. We have been moving forward for so long, why are you still unwilling..."

Halfway through his words, the sword suddenly trembled!

His breathing stagnated and his pupils shrank sharply!

Suddenly, countless flesh and blood grew on the divine sword near the hilt like bamboo shoots after spring growth!
An extremely excited smile appeared on Cang Yun's face.

The flesh and blood grew and entangled on the broad sword, and soon turned into a lump of meat.

Immediately afterwards, the blood clot suddenly released a dazzling light!

Cang Yun turned his head away, and when he turned his head again, he saw that the lump of flesh had turned into an eye!
The eye was embedded in the sword, moving back and forth flexibly, like a living creature.

"You, are you awake?"

Cang Yun was overjoyed!

He mobilized his true energy and stretched out his hand towards the eyes.

But just when his hand was about to touch the eye, an extremely terrifying force came from the hilt of the sword, and he immediately felt the pain as if millions of silver steel needles were piercing his palm!

Cang Yun felt pain in his hand and subconsciously let go.

The Heavenly Sword fell to the ground with a clang, and the eyeball was still spinning.

Cang Yun lowered his head in astonishment and looked at his right hand... The palm of his hand was covered with bloodstains. Although it recovered completely in a very short time, the pain just now seemed to still remain in his palm.

This was the first time that he had been "devoured" by the divine sword since he had possessed it!
He was filled with strong doubts, but when he cast his gaze towards the eye, the rest of his emotions instantly disappeared. The eyeball on the sword looked at him, and in just a moment, all his doubts and surprises were swept away.

What remains is only the extremely strong temptation!
"It's okay, come again..."

There was a look of intoxication in Cang Yun's eyes, and he reached out for the magic sword again.

But unexpectedly, the magic sword jumped several feet on the ground and avoided his hand!
This time, Cang Yun was really stunned.

He clearly felt something strange...

There seem to be two souls inside this divine sword!
One, focused on that eyeball, tempting him, guiding him to touch the sword, obviously trying to tell him something.

But the other soul was unwilling to let Cang Yun touch it... He even had a feeling that the reason he had not been able to comprehend the secret of the divine sword for so long was because this soul was unwilling!

Was it the resonance with the beast spirit during these days that awakened the eyeball, allowing the two of them to compete against each other?
An alarm suddenly rang in Cang Yun's mind.

He is not stupid, he knows the entire forging process of this Heavenly Sword.

When Jiang Lingyun forged this sword, she incorporated the concept of "opposition" into it.

Her theory is actually very simple - the practitioners in the world today have made the wrong choice by choosing the path of Xuanxing and Wuwo.

Whether it is Xuanxing or Wuwo, they are all seeking power from outside the heaven and earth. Their own bodies, acupoints and meridians will no longer grow or change at all. They are just using the power from outside the sky to put on a layer of "coat" for themselves. Everything is built on this "coat".

But that's not right.

At the beginning of cultivation, there are two paths: martial arts and spirituality. The two are combined into one in the cave realm, corresponding to the yin and yang, life and death, cause and effect of the heavenly way...

Why did it become “wearing outer clothes” when it came to Xuanxing?
It was precisely because of Jiang Lingyun's potential that Cang Yun was willing to risk great danger to save her and let her forge everything she had learned into a sword.

Who knew that during the fight, she even denied the cave heaven...

In her opinion, one should practice both martial arts and spirituality from the very beginning!

"Coexistence of opposition" should be from beginning to end!
Cang Yun did not agree with this point.

But there was no other way. At that time, the magic sword was almost completed, and he decided that since he believed in Jiang Lingyun, he would let her put his theory into practice to the end. To this end, he even gave her the Yin-Yang fish that he fished out of the River Styx... the Yin-Yang fish that contained the essence of the Yin and Yang energies of heaven and earth.

"I understand……"

Cang Yun stared at the Heavenly Sword and murmured, "You have two sides."

But which side is correct?
Cang Yun looked at the eyeball and suddenly grinned, his smile was a little fierce.

"Things like the Way of Heaven won't be easily approached by anyone."

"Who on earth are you? Are you still trying to seduce me?"

"You think I can trust you with something that's delivered to my door?"

"damn thing!"

He grinned and stretched out his hand towards the Heavenly Sword: "Come!"

This time, as if sensing his change in mood, the Heavenly Dao Divine Sword no longer dodged but flew up obediently and returned to his hand.

Then, Cang Yun raised his left hand and pointed it at the eyeball on the sword...

Dig it hard!
……

"You scratched it?!"

Fu Qingzhou said in astonishment.

"I picked it out." The smoker still looked up at the sky and said calmly, "After that, I began to lose large sections of my memory. By then, the beast spirits had been almost suppressed, and I threw the eyeball away. Later, it seemed that people on the grassland took it and worshiped it..."

"It turns out I was right."

"After I dug it out, a powerful consciousness immediately surged from the Heavenly Dao Divine Sword, instantly overwhelming me... I think it was probably because I dug out that eyeball that it was willing to show me something truly valuable."

“Then, I saw the truth of this world.”
