Chapter 376 Bats
Fate is unpredictable, and destiny is beyond our control.
The existence and changes of all things in the world are all under the control of nature.
There are always some proud and aloof souls who refuse to accept defeat, shouting that their destiny is in their own hands and that they must defy heaven and earth.
Little did they know that even if He succeeded in resisting, He would naturally grasp the pen held in His hands.
Thus, whether one possesses or loses, lives or dies, one cannot escape the arrangement of fate.
Does life still have meaning then?
some.
The meaning of life lies in the process, in the living being, and in every moment we experience.
Shen Yao can't predict or control the future; she can only do her best in the present.
Do everything you can right now.
Cherish the love and care of her family and friends, try her best to treat everyone with sincerity and gentleness, and at the same time, work hard to cultivate herself so as to complete her mission as soon as possible.
After Tu Xiaoxiao returned this time, she didn't leave again, and the three peach blossoms got along fairly well.
As long as she treats everyone fairly, any conflicts will be resolved privately by her suitors, without causing her any trouble.
Huo Die went to the southern border battlefield several times to mentor his half-disciple and, incidentally, helped the Immortal Clan reclaim a few cities.
When Chu Yun heard that Xianyu and Jiaozun had formed a bond, his anxiety was essentially gone.
She's a demon, and she genuinely dislikes the immortal lord.
Taking advantage of the moment, Huo Die repeatedly advised him: "Yun'er, being unlucky in love is nothing. You are a sword cultivator, so you can choose to cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness. Ruthlessness and sword are the perfect match."
Chu Yun was not ruthless at all; he cared deeply for all living beings and wanted to cultivate the Way of All Living Beings.
Huo Die's attempts to dissuade them were unsuccessful. After returning, he set his sights on A Meng and A Luo, urging them to cultivate the Path of Ruthlessness.
Unexpectedly, A Meng and A Luo had already followed Liu Yucheng and cultivated the Dao of Freedom.
Huo Die sighed deeply, lamenting the difficulty of inheriting the Dao of Ruthlessness, akin to a mortal cultivating to become a god.
Feng Yu lay on Shen Yao's rocking chair to rest. Hearing the sighs coming from the viewing table, he smiled slightly and chuckled to himself.
All living beings in the world have seven emotions and six desires, but it is rare to find someone like my father who is not troubled by emotions and desires.
Huo Die tossed a hollow fruit, hitting Feng Yu on the head: "What are you laughing at?"
Feng Yu caught the fruit that rolled down her head, sat up and replied, "Dad, I wasn't laughing at anything."
Huo Die narrowed his eyes and scrutinized him: "If you can break through the emotional barrier, you'll be a good candidate for cultivating the Path of No Emotion."
Feng Yu's gaze shifted to the 'Flying Birds' at his waist, thinking of Shen Yao's face: "I'm going to disappoint Father, your son won't break a single thing."
A year later, Shen Yao had mastered the tenth move of the God-Slaying Technique, Cloud Blade Cutting Waves.
He also gained a deeper understanding of the essence of the sword.
She decided to first explore the bottom of the Long family's trial tower to see if it contained a blood demon or a true secret treasure.
Before conducting the investigation, Huo Die and Feng Yu went to see the Tower Spirit.
They knew the way well and, upon reaching the top of the tower, used a spirit-summoning array to forcefully pull out the tower spirit.
The tower spirit trembled at the sight of the two of them, repeatedly assuring them that the true secret treasure sealed at the bottom of the tower was a wonderful thing that could cleanse the marrow and tendons of demon cultivators, and that it contained absolutely no blood demons.
“It’s true, I guarantee it. It was placed there by the true god himself 40,000 years ago.”
"This Trial Tower was built by the Divine Venerable Ningyao and the True Gods. Do you know the Divine Venerable Ningyao? She is the Order God of the Second Realm. I am here to maintain the operation of the Trial Tower under the orders of the Divine Venerable Ningyao. Why would I lie to you?"
Huo Die's eyes narrowed: "When the True God came to release the secret treasure, was Goddess Ning Yao present?"
The tower spirit shook its head: "No, the Divine Venerable Ningyao left after building the tower 60,000 years ago. Since then, the True God has only come twice."
They didn't believe everything the tower spirit said; they only believed about 80%.
After discussion, Hai Mu, Yu Zhuo, and Yu Yue, along with Xianyu's two light energy puppets, were assigned to guard the light gate space.
Jiang Ming stayed at the branch sect, while Huo Die, Tu Xiaoxiao, and Feng Yu accompanied Shen Yao to the bottom of the tower.
Shen Yao brought six light-energy puppets with her.
Grandpa Long led the Long family cultivators to guard the entrance at the bottom of the Trial Tower to prevent unknown monsters from escaping from inside.
All the cultivators were ready and set off immediately.
Having not gone on an adventure for many years, Shen Yao couldn't contain her excitement.
She gripped the God-Slaying Blade tightly and followed Tu Xiaoxiao to the seal entrance.
The seal is indeed made of obsidian, and the surrounding walls are also made of black crystal.
They are all items used to ward off evil spirits.
The secret treasure for sealing and cleansing the marrow and tendons does not require warding off evil spirits.
Shen Yao touched the black crystal wall: "I think even if there is no Blood Demon inside, there are other evil spirits. Everyone be careful."
She released her spiritual sense to touch the obsidian door, and like the previous two doors, the door transformed into a stone tablet that flew into her palm.
The stone gate was shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Feng Yu took out a cyan spiritual treasure and handed it to Light Energy One. The spiritual treasure could be used to find its way in the fog.
Tu Xiaoxiao walked in the middle and released her spirit ropes to entangle everyone.
The light-powered golems, three leading and three trailing, walked closely together in the small group.
Shen Yao walked ahead of Tu Xiaoxiao, and could only vaguely see the back of the Solar Energy No. 2.
The solar-powered satellite has been lost to sight.
The air was filled with a rich floral fragrance, mixed with a faint smell of blood.
After walking straight for about 15 minutes, the group turned a corner and headed right in the fog.
"Boom."
It sounded like something had been kicked, making a dull thud.
The solar-powered golems stepped back, and everyone stopped in their tracks. Shen Yao could see Solar-Powered One.
“Our heads were covered in bats.”
Huo Die suddenly spoke up: "They are all red-winged three-eyed bat beasts that are ten feet long."
Tu Xiaoxiao took out the Soul Pearl to dispel the illusion. The environment had not changed, so it was not an illusion.
He retrieved the Soul Pearl: "Don't you guys feel like we've been going downwards the whole time?"
Shen Yao sensed something: "It seems so. We are in a downward passage, but the slope is very gentle."
As she spoke, she formed a hand seal and created a semi-circular golden spirit shield that covered everyone's heads.
The thought of them being covered in upside-down bats, each a meter long, hanging above their heads sent chills down her spine.
"What should we do, Dad? Should we still leave?"
Huo Die used his divine power to condense a golden whip, which he then swung around in the air.
The whip made a 'whooshing' sound in the air, accompanied by sonic booms of 'crack, bang'.
One after another, red-winged three-eyed bats flew towards the golden whip like moths to a flame.
They were struck by divine power and fell onto the arc-shaped golden spirit shield with a thud, sliding down to the perimeter of the shield.
The enormous, ugly bat carcass instantly piled up into a small mountain around them.
The hazy fog in the vicinity had also dissipated considerably.
Seeing this, Shen Yaofengyu and Tu Xiaoxiao each used their spiritual power to condense whips, which they then swung in the air to attract the red-winged three-eyed bats to commit suicide.
It was only after countless bat-like creatures had died that the surrounding environment became completely clear.
They are indeed on a downward trajectory.
The passage is three zhang wide and forms a ring around the central hollow.
The outer walls are covered with red roses, while the inner passageway railings are fully enclosed and made of pure silver.
What the solar-powered satellite accidentally kicked was actually a raised silver platform, which was engraved with 1,500 meters, roughly the recorded channel length.
In the world of cultivation, the units of measurement are cun, chi, zhang... Shen Yao explained that one meter is approximately equal to three chi.
They continued downhill and soon saw the second silver platform.
The second silver platform is identical in appearance to the first, but it is engraved with the number 1,200 meters.
There was more fog ahead, so the cultivators used the same trick again, placing the Golden Spirit Shield above them and moving with them while controlling the Spirit Whip to kill the Red-winged Three-eyed Bat.
The red-winged three-eyed bat beast that charged forward grew smaller and smaller, and the fog in front of the passage became thinner and thinner.
Half an hour later, they passed the third silver platform.
This silver platform is engraved with 800 meters. Unlike the previous two silver platforms, the third silver platform has an additional silver cross on it.
A line of text is vertically engraved on the back of the cross.
"Pure evil is evil, and so is pure good."
