Chapter 32: The Great Way Doesn't Exist
The world in the map of mountains and rivers is now prosperous.
Compared with the wilderness in the past, there are already mountains, rivers, and stretches of land here.
The very center of the continent is still the isolated island world.
The Broken Stream is like a paradise that has given birth to countless living beings.
One of the earliest beings of the Broken Stream, who grew up in the climatic years, has now developed into the most powerful species in the isolated island world, an independent intelligent race.
Being able to develop to this point in just a few hundred years is naturally not the result of natural evolution, but the time array that He Chong and Tang Zheng arranged here.
The Time Wheel Array completed the first part as early as when it was in the Qingyun Realm, and although it could not fully cover the Mountains and Rivers Society Map, it could at least affect the core part.
On the island, time flies at a ratio of one to one.
When a hundred years have passed in the outside world, ten thousand years have passed in the world on the island.
Tens of thousands of years of development, coupled with the creator's intentional allocation, have gradually sprouted wisdom from the creatures on the island, and this is how the creature has developed.
They look a bit like humans, but they have long hands and feet, and their bodies are covered with fine scales, which are like their skin, which can be infused with aura and form a defense.
The lattice with wisdom already has its own society, and a small feudal society is taking shape.
In this social system, they have their own kings and subjects, and the whole island is their territory.
They built their homes on this territory, including houses, temples, and halls.
At first, they worshipped the sun, that is, worshiped the universe in the sky, and then began to fantasize about the existence of the gods.
The supreme god was their supreme deity, and for this purpose a temple was built and an idol was made in the temple.
If you look closely, you will find that this image is somewhat similar to He Chong.
Although He Chong never appeared in front of their eyes, fate seemed to guide them, so that the Ling race chose this image as the supreme god in their minds.
A new sun appeared in the sky, and together with Yujing, it formed a spectacle of two suns.
Therefore, Houyi shoots the sun differently, and it is the legend of the gods who made the sun here.
Legend has it that the world was dark, with no light and no rain.
But later, a god appeared in the world, and it was he who sowed the seeds of life, and since then there has been the existence of the mullion.
Then he felt that the world was too dark, so he created the first sun.
But the light of the first sun was still dim, so it took him a long, long time to create a second sun.
Since then, there has been light in the world.
The first sun becomes the moon, which appears in line with the sun, and swims in front of the sun every once in a while, blocking out most of the light, creating a zΓ o out of the night, which is to tell the sΓΉ that when it is time to rest, the sun begins to rest, waiting for the arrival of the next day's daylight.
The world is thus circulating, and the mullions are working and multiplying endlessly.
Since the world of mountains and rivers also has a world with aura, the society of the mullion also has a primary cultivation system.
However, the highest cultivators here can only achieve as far as the Spirit Sea.
They never go out of the island world, for they the outside world is wild, sinister, terrible, once a maverick mullion wanted to get out of the island and see the outside world, and its behavior caused a panic of the race - they killed the rebellious mullloton.
So they continue to live in isolation from the world, so they never come and don't know how big the world can be, let alone how wonderful the changes in the outside world are.
The main world outside has undergone drastic changes.
Hundreds of thousands of years of development and change, a large amount of material entered, so that mountains, rivers and mountains gradually formed.
Mountains break the pattern of air currents, causing further changes in the climate, which also creates a variety of unique environments.
Some of these environments were created by He Chong, while others were natural.
In fact, with the gradual enrichment of the basic material composition, the Shanhe Society has begun to have the ability to evolve itself after possessing a sufficient amount of material.
What was once barren is now growing green grass, grasslands are beginning to appear, forests are beginning to appear, and animals are beginning to appear along with the creation of a large amount of vegetation.
These animals are not alien species at all like the isolated island world, but are real creatures that have developed and evolved in the world of mountains and rivers.
They come in a variety of forms, ranging from a giant silkworm chrysalis that moves slowly through the dirt, some have long mouthparts that can be stretched and contracted to grab any nearby resource, some have a keen sense of smell and can feel the scent of water or plants from a distance of a hundred miles, and some can deform freely like a lump of mud.
The world of the Mountains and Rivers Society was originally a very barren world, and all life was to obtain the maximum amount of resources to evolve their bodies.
Life is enriched by this.
They don't have the wisdom of the island race, but they are not as closed as them, and they survive tenaciously in their own way in this broader land, composing a wonderful nature that is completely different from the known world.
Deng Yuqing chose the names of the plants and animals here with great interest, established the population relationship genealogy, and developed in the direction of plants and biologists.
Duan Laosi was not afraid of death to collect all kinds of plants and animals and taste their tastes. The roots, stems, flowers and fruits of plants, the liver, brain, whip and kidney of animals, delicious, untasty, poisonous, non-toxic, disgusting, not disgusting, as long as it is something that can be eaten, he will send it to his mouth with the spirit of Shennong tasting a hundred herbs. He felt their taste with his mouth and their effects with his body, and recorded them one by one, quickly becoming a chef and pharmacist.
Time here is faster than the isolated island, passing at a speed of one to thousand, and even He Chong does not dare to enter lightly, so as not to be consumed into ashes by the long river of time. Most of the time, he stayed outside the time zone, quietly watching the world evolve. In this process, his strength gradually improved to the peak of soul transformation, but he did not take the last step. Similar to him are Deng Yuqing and Duan Laosi, who have also broken through the bottleneck and reached the realm of inner demons.
In the process of observing the evolution of the world, He Chong often has comprehension, always feeling that he seems to have captured a trace of the true meaning of the world, but he cannot understand it for some inexplicable reason.
This made He Chong feel strange, watching the changes in the sea of clouds in Cangtian was itself a great opportunity for enlightenment. It's just that because the time span is too long, it is difficult to realize this good method, even if the guide knows that there is such a good method.
Why do you sit and watch the wind and clouds for thousands of years, touching countless hearts, but you still can't feel the way of the world?
This question made He Chong puzzled.
Today he still sits outside the time zone, which is still a barren land, like uncultivated land, and at the outskirts of the continent is an endless ocean that leads to the end of the world. Yujing's spatial expansion ability is not endless, so this world also has an end.
While thinking about it, the figure next to He Chong flashed, it was Tang Zheng.
Seeing Tang Zheng coming, He Chong stood up and saluted respectfully to Tang Zheng.
If there was no way to be under the eaves before, then now He Chong is completely convinced.
Today's Tang Zheng is already a Tianzun, and his cultivation is far above him.
Even if he was standing there like this at this moment, what he gave to He Chong was the feeling of a high mountain, just that breath made He Chong understand, don't look at Tang Zheng is just a nursery, and his true strength is no longer under the gods.
Breaking down the great barriers between the higher realms was as natural to him as breathing.
In the face of such a being, you can no longer speculate what means he has, only know that they all have the ability to cry ghosts and gods in the world, and it is very likely that the slightest evil thoughts that turn in their hearts can be seen through by them.
Because of this, in the face of this Tang Tribulation, who was many years younger than himself, but had come to this day on his own, He Chong could not help but worship and respect.
At this moment, seeing that He Chong was still respectful, Tang Zheng said: "I see that you don't belong to your mind, and you seem to be troubled by some temptation?
"Return to the Heavenly Venerable. He Chong replied: "It's just some small questions about cultivation, and I just want to ask Tianzun for advice." β
"Tell me about it. β
He Chong told Tang Zheng about the changes in his observations over the years.
Tang Zheng didn't speak when he heard this, just closed his eyes and pondered.
He Chong didn't dare to disturb when he saw it, but just stood with his hands solemn.
In the distance, Deng Yuqing and Duan Laosi also seemed to have sensed Tang Zheng's arrival, and ran over together to ask for their lives.
Seeing this, he didn't dare to speak, and stood by one by one. Deng Yuqing couldn't see Yiyi, and there was a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
After a while, Tang Zheng said: "Your question is very interesting, I can't answer it for the time being, but I have a conjecture that may explain your doubts, and also explain the reason for the continuous catastrophe in this world." β
The catastrophe of the Mountains and Rivers Society is still going on, and it is getting more and more intense, and even a black smoke appeared a few days ago, which can actively devour a living being, and it is very difficult to kill, even He Chong has to use a lot of strength to eradicate it.
These circumstances, together with He Chong's encounter, formed a huge mystery that had plagued Tang Zheng for a long time.
However, in the course of decades of pure cultivation, Tang Zheng precipitated his mood and laid a solid foundation, no matter how far he saw and understood, he gradually found an answer from this world that might exist.
Hearing Tang Zheng say this at this moment, He Chong and the other three asked together: "Listen to Tianzun's teachings!"
Tang Zai said slowly: "I suspect that the reason why you can't realize the Tao is because the Great Dao doesn't exist here. β
