Fire Monster

Chapter 366 Four Missing One
Seeing Wang Xuan's nonsense almost fooling Jiang Yunbai, the old man from Genshan, Zhao Guanshan could only sigh helplessly under the shield of spiritual ash. The society is dangerous, and people's hearts are dangerous. It's this nearly perfect PPT that is just a lie again.

The logic is correct, the idea is right, and even the background is 99% true, with the main feature being a closed loop and self-consistency.

Along the way, Zhao Guanshan has been fooled more than once.

Moreover, this really has a strong personal style. He even suspected that the fallen immortals behind it were all following the same style.

For example, when I first met Cheng Muye in the spirit world, this old guy pretended to be so awesome.

The last ninth-level Qi-refining master of Zhenhai Dao Palace died abruptly in order to save lives and ran to the spirit world to become a demon hunter. How tragic, heroic and respectable.

Then naturally, he told Zhao Guanshan that he had a senior brother.

It can be said that he has great magical powers and is very smart, almost like a demon. He does not like to practice cultivation, but only likes to study some random problems.

You see, this person's plan is well-organized. Who would question an elderly man with great love in his heart who is willing to die rather than engage in armed conflict?

So Zhao Guanshan really believed it at the beginning. He really believed the saying that individual practice is cultivation of immortality, and group practice is destiny.

The most important part, about personal practice, is absolutely correct, it is indeed so.

Even the part about group practice is actually partially correct. Social progress will indeed accumulate knowledge about the entire society, thereby allowing the productivity, cognitive ability, and moral level of the entire society to spiral upward. This is in line with the thought of objective materialism.

Then Cheng Muye added his own personal opinion, namely the theory of fatalism.

Zhao Guanshan was frightened and stunned.

But later facts proved that this so-called destiny was actually fabricated to cover up the existence of the fallen immortal, including the name of the so-called Ring of Destiny, which carries this tendency.

The key is that those fallen immortals are really powerful enough to give you a destiny.

How can ordinary mortals have the ability to identify it?
Even Qigong practitioners and immortal cultivators have no ability to disprove it.

It's not what it is.

It was also through a series of struggles, coupled with quite good luck, that Zhao Guanshan was able to finally recognize the true face of this group of fallen immortals and finally see the truth about the operation of this world.

Among these, the most obvious is the existence of karma, which is in line with the idea of ​​objective materialism.

Since they can pass through from another ring, the theories over there can also be used as a means to test the truth here.

Therefore, let alone Wang Xuan coming, even if Sha Xuan, Sha Yi, or Sha Monk came and talked a lot, he would not come out. The more Wang Xuan barked over there, the more it showed that he was doing the right thing, and some fallen immortals were getting anxious.

As for why the fallen immortal didn't take action to deal with him.

This is actually very simple. Do you really think this is still the world of immortal cultivation and the order of the immortal palace?

Don’t you think the karmic crisis is big enough?

This bunch of fallen immortals have begun the karmic reform. They only have a little bit of sanity left. How dare they act recklessly? Aren't they afraid of being stabbed by their creditors?
In everything, don't go beyond the limit.

Of course, there is another possibility. What Wang Xuan said is right, and the fallen immortal behind him really thinks so.

Perhaps the fallen immortal who carried out karma reform was also the fallen immortal behind him.

They really want to reform and really want to get things done.

But the essence of the matter cannot be viewed in this way.

It's like I really studied and did my homework seriously, and even learned to make notes and memorize words like others, so why did I still fail the exam? I really tried hard.

If you don't do your work seriously, you will definitely get positive feedback.

Even if we take a step back and say that the fallen immortal of the reform really did not lie, it does not change the fact that the five key holders are pawns of the reform and cannon fodder of the reform.

In a word, I don’t believe you at all!

However, Brother Genshan was indeed convinced and moved.

Because he has already started asking questions.

"Wang Xuan, why are you so anxious for you and me to pass this level? Why don't you wait for the next two people? Maybe that Zhao Chengfeng wants to wait until everyone is together before leaving."

"Because it's very simple. Passing this level, facing karma, killing the out-of-control fallen immortals, overcoming the calamity and ascending to heaven, and restoring order is indeed a thorny and bumpy road, but it is also a competitive road. You don't really think that the five forces of Lihuo, Qianjin, Genshan, Qingmu, and Xuanwu are mutually restrained and complementary, right?" "In fact, the five forces must have a primary and secondary order. Before the collapse of the Immortal Realm Palace, the core dominant force was the Lihuo system. Do you want to be dominated by the Lihuo system again? Anyway, I don't want to."

"That's it. If you don't believe me, you can stay here and continue to wait. I estimate that in another thirty to fifty years, the holders of the Qingmu and Xuanwu secret keys will arrive. This is inevitable. I even guess that the new holder of the Lihuo secret key is also being trained. Even the holder of the five secret keys who will replace us is also being trained."

"The longer we stay here, the faster they will grow. Don't you know that the waves behind push the waves ahead?"

"The opportunity is right in front of you. If you miss it, it will never come back."

"Farewell!"

Having said that, Wang Xuan stopped talking nonsense, and with the sword talisman in hand and a sword gesture made, the giant sword flew across the sky like a meteor, and he really passed the level. The moment he passed the level, the fire line vibrated and ripples appeared on the invisible curtain, which actually stopped him for a moment, but then he broke through it anyway.

When the old man Genshan saw this, he didn't know what to think. The huge stone giant stood there in a daze. Suddenly, he pounded the ground with his hands, causing the earth to shake and even flattening several mountains. However, he didn't find Zhao Guanshan. Although Zhao Guanshan was right under the feet of the stone giant and his spirit ash shield had withstood several heavy blows, he couldn't sense it.

"Zhao Chengfeng, Fellow Daoist Chengfeng, are you really here? Why did Wang Xuan insist that you were here?"

"I won't force you to speak. If you're not here, I'll just talk for no reason. If you're here, then listen carefully. I'll go and be your pathfinder. I really can't wait here any longer. I can't break through my fate here. I've learned all the magical powers I should learn, and I've comprehended all the Taoism I should understand. But I feel like there's a wall, a huge invisible lid that's trapping me here."

"What Wang Xuan said may be true or false. It doesn't matter. I have lived for three hundred and twenty years. Even if I die, I won't feel that I have lost anything."

"Farewell!"

After saying that, the rocks on the stone giant's body suddenly fell down and turned into broken stones on the ground, and a figure came out from the ground in the distance. It was Jiang Yunbai!
After not seeing him for ten years, there were only eighteen grains of golden merit sand left on his body, but he was still unaware of it.

But at this time he was indeed in high spirits, and with a wave of his left hand, several collapsed mountains nearby were attracted by the invisible force. Countless huge rocks flew into the air and turned into a giant axe several thousand meters long. It chopped fiercely at the checkpoint in front of him, directly splitting the invisible curtain, which could not be restored for a long time.

This move was even more ruthless and domineering than Wang Xuan's.

With a hearty laugh, Jiang Yunbai was once again wrapped in huge rocks, transforming into a ten-thousand-meter-tall stone giant and striding through the level.

But almost at the moment he passed the checkpoint, a wisp of white cloud passed by lightly, like a gauze scarf.

"Fellow Daoist Yunbai, thank you very much!"

It was a clear female voice, and it turned out to be the holder of the Xuanwu secret key. She had arrived a long time ago and had been enduring until this moment. Only then did she rely on Jiang Yunbai's power to break through the barrier and pass it without any effort.

"Hey, fellow Taoist, wait a minute, we can team up! I'm Genshan, a natural shield tank!"

Jiang Yunbai shouted loudly, but unfortunately the holder of the Xuanwu secret key disappeared in an instant.

How is it possible to form a team?

They are all protagonists who have walked all the way from their own Taoist palaces. Who doesn’t have his own little plans?

At this moment, Jiang Yunbai couldn't help but look back. He probably felt that what he had done before was really a waste.

But in the end, until the invisible curtain slowly recovered and closed again, dividing this place into two worlds again, he did not see the holder of the Aoki secret key, and that Zhao Shefeng appear.

"You are all old fools! You actually let me take the lead. You are all so lacking in virtue!"

With a curse, he walked away and disappeared into the background.

On this side, at some point, a young man in a green robe appeared in the devastated mountains.

He muttered to himself, "Qianjin, Genshan, and Xuanwu are all here, so Wang Xuan must be right. Lihuo has been here for a long time, but he just won't come out. Interesting, why didn't you show up just now? Such a good opportunity, an opportunity to pass the test easily, that was an opportunity that Genshan bought with thirteen Heavenly Destiny Merits, and he just missed it."

"Lihuo, you really make it hard for me to guess."

"But I have been here for thirty years. I have seen Xuanwu who has been hiding for twenty years, Qianjin who has been hiding for ten years, and Genshan, but I have never seen you. If you hadn't come, it would be fine. But if you have come, I would be convinced."

"But I'm sorry, I don't want to wait any longer. You stay here and continue waiting."

As soon as he finished speaking, the man passed by like a wisp of breeze, leaving a ripple on the invisible curtain before disappearing.

Zhao Guanshan watched quietly. To be honest, he was quite surprised. Who would have thought that there was someone more patient than him? Thirty years. So, the holder of the Aoki secret key came earlier than him?
But it doesn’t matter anymore, he still doesn’t plan to go over, he still has to continue waiting.

Just pretend that he has never been here.

Because the four protagonists in the past did not prove anything, he believed that he would not be the first one to lose his patience.
