A life of clearness

Chapter 604: The Secret of the Supreme Realm
Circles of dust and smoke rolled out, obscuring the view. In the turbulent wind, the whispers of countless races could be heard. It was noisy and strange.

The ancient trees that grew together with the secret realm were always harmless and silent, allowing the secret realm to open and close, and allowing monks to come and go. Those casual jokes, whispered flattery, and vicious calculations, after being blurted out, fermented over a long period of time and gathered into a huge force that exploded at this moment.

Xizi was the first to fall into it.

I don’t know what he heard, but he covered his ears with his hands and started crying.

"I didn't mean it. It wasn't me. It really wasn't me."

Ning Mu, who was standing beside Xizi, laughed and cried at times, mumbling to herself as if she was talking to someone.

Some people whose cultivation was not at the highest level but whose determination was particularly firm were affected and showed complicated expressions, but in the end they endured the words in their ears and did not respond impulsively.

Rong Qing was the only one on the field who was not affected. Even if she didn't possess someone else's body, Rong Qing's possession of the Mermaid Ear meant she would not be fooled by the phantom sound.

The force of pulling the tree did not slacken. The large number of long vines that were originally clinging to the tree suddenly jumped up and attacked the white-clothed female cultivator in the air. It seemed that they were waving randomly without any rules, but in fact they contained the origin of the avenue and were extremely powerful.

Rong Qing threw out the scabbard from her sleeve, and a large number of bone blades whistled and hit the swinging long vines, and the sound of metal clashing was endless. Some of the bone blades only cut halfway into the extremely tough part of the long vine and then embedded in it. Rong Qing concentrated her mind to increase the strength of her spiritual power to control the bone blades again, and as expected, the bone blades cut the vines neatly and made huge wounds.

"My soul is fundamentally different from before. Even though I couldn't reach the ninth floor before taking over the body, I can still easily reach the ninth floor after taking over the body even without the spirit platform." Thinking that the soul amplitude method is also the same, Rong Qing couldn't help but feel a little excited: "If I combine it with the soul amplitude method, the strength of my consciousness can reach another level."

Although the method of soul amplitude is rare, it is not difficult for her to find one given her current status.

It can be obtained from Qinghang Realm, Donglin Sect, and even from King Qin Guang.

“As for the method of soul amplitude, I have collected three copies of it.” Number One Under Heaven said slowly.

"Why haven't I heard you mention it before?"

"You didn't ask."

Besides, if he gave her any secret technique, the best in the world was afraid that Rong Qing would become lazy and only rely on techniques and ignore the understanding of the origin of Tao. Therefore, he mostly shared his experiences and rarely taught her any advanced techniques.

Number One in the World passed the basic information of the three methods of soul amplitude to Rong Qing and let her choose by herself.

Rong Qing was calm while doing two things at the same time. Tongtian Wood had many strange and bizarre methods, but none of them really made her feel threatened. Therefore, while controlling the mustard seed domain to pull out the tree, she compared the advantages and disadvantages of the three methods of soul amplitude.

She quickly made her choice.

"Soul Eater is a good one, even though the name is a bit vulgar..."

But Rong Qing was very satisfied with the effect.

It can actively devour the enemy's spiritual power for its own use, and also includes the ability to search the soul, shock, and induce hallucinations. The most special thing is that it can condense the soul into a "little man" similar to an avatar, open up the "meridians", and perform various spiritual magic.

Based on this point, Rong Qing immediately decided to practice "Soul Eater".

Number One Under Heaven chuckled, not surprised at all: "Of course you can know which one is better if you compare. But the best one is also the most difficult to practice. Just to get started, you need to open up your meridians. Each meridian needs to completely devour the soul of a Taoist master. In other words, you have to kill thirty-seven Taoist masters to open up all your meridians before you can be considered to have achieved the first step of cultivation. It would be better if it were wartime. But now, where are there so many lonely Taoist masters for you to kill? If you kill one, a bunch of them will follow."

Does Rong Qing dare to kill an entire family?

Rong Qing narrowed her eyes slightly, casually swung the white hair in her hand, and easily cut the long vine that attacked like lightning.

"There are many exotic beasts in the Hundred Thousand Mountains that are comparable to the Dao Master."

"It's useless." Number One Under Heaven said directly: "At this moment, you still don't understand? What kind of Dao Master are these things? They are just some... pathetic toys that can be used at will. In terms of strength, they have reached the level of Dao Master, but is Dao Master just about being powerful?"

Even though Rong Qing has made rapid progress and has the confidence to fight some Dao Lords head-on, it is impossible for him to be as relaxed as he is now and have some spare strength. This indirectly proves the "incompleteness" of these strange beasts.

Number One Under Heaven asked Rong Qing again: "Have you ever seen a true demon cultivator? The Buddha Realm has gathered countless powerful talents from the Northern Sky. Find a powerful demon cultivator and let him come out to see."

Demon cultivator? !
Rong Qing's heart shuddered.

It seemed... she had never heard of any famous demon cultivators. Moreover, she had never encountered or heard of any demon cultivators during her cultivation.

No matter how powerful a monster is, it is still just a monster.

Under Rong Qing's various methods, the Tongtian Wood was completely unable to struggle, and its huge and complex root system was forcibly pulled out of the soil. Each of the tangled roots was extremely strong, and there were many colorful fruits hidden inside, each of which could be sold at an astonishingly high price outside. But now it was completely wiped out by Rong Qing.

After putting the Tongtian Wood into the storage ring, Rong Qing did not rush back to the ground to accept congratulations from fellow cultivators from various sects.

"There are no demon cultivators in the North Sky. I also heard that the East Sky is the world of demons. Could it be that there are such huge differences just because of the different locations?"

"You guessed right." Number One Under Heaven said slowly, "It's because of the different locations. In Dongtian, the human race is just like the monsters in the Hundred Thousand Mountains. They are the grinding stones for the monster and demon cultivators to hone their skills. Some with good talents and bloodlines are taken in as slaves to be driven by them. Don't expect those humans to break through the shackles. If you want to blame someone, just blame their bad luck. They were born in Dongtian and will never be able to make a breakthrough."

Just like the basil, no matter how low-key you are or how hard you try, it is just a more beautiful trophy.

Rong Qing's eyes fell on the deep pit in the boundless land. It was a huge hole with no bottom in sight. If a mortal were to see it, he would be terrified at just one glance.

Her consciousness calculated very quickly, and she had a vague guess: "As the saying goes, heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs. The difference between these places may have only appeared after birth."

"That's right. Why?" Number One Under Heaven threw the question back to her.

"...Zun Realm." Rong Qing murmured to herself, "It's because of Zun Realm. I wonder why opening up Zun Realm and becoming Zun Lord can elevate one level in the hierarchy of Longevity Lords. This is the change caused by becoming Zun Lord and controlling one side of the heavens. Zun Lord's will affects the entire Northern Heaven. If Buddha Zun Lord wants the human race to prosper, then the human race will prosper. If he wants the demon and monster races to decline, then they will never have a chance to rise. That's why those Longevity Lords fought so fiercely for the Northern Heaven."

"The Wuji Realm in the Western Heaven and the Xuewei Realm in the Southern Heaven are both old-established realms. Both of their lords are human. It was not until the opening of the Dongchen Realm in the Eastern Heaven that the two races of demons and monsters had a chance to breathe. But no matter how big the Eastern Heaven is, it would be too crowded for the two races of demons and monsters to divide it equally. Therefore, the Northern Heaven, which had not yet been opened up, became a place that the Lord of Dongchen was determined to obtain."

"Huh?" Rong Qing suddenly thought of a question: "Can a master who already has a realm open up a new realm?"
