Longevity starts with learning

Chapter 565: Living in darkness, looking towards the light

"Whatever...you want?"

Chu Mu frowned slightly, seeming puzzled.

"Yes, do whatever you want."

"Don't suppress any desire or any dark side in your heart. Don't suppress it. Take the initiative to detect and induce it."

"Only in this way can we stir up the filth that has been corroded by the sand-tailed scorpion's mind."

Yun Qianshan was very peaceful.

"The seven emotions and six desires are all like this."

"Of course, you have to stick to your true heart. If you don't, you will indulge in desire, and then forget about purifying your soul and heart."

Chu Mu was thoughtful, and based on what the "cheap senior brother" in front of him said, everything was undoubtedly very clear.

A "scorpion egg" can be said to be a demon seed, or a distraction...

But if one goes by what Yun Qianshan said, perhaps it would be more appropriate to describe it as...inner demon.

The soul carries it and reflects it in the soul.

However, because the cage suppresses it and does not reveal it, therefore, one can only look for it in one's own mind, to reflect on the flaws in one's own soul, and thus stir up that trace of filth, and actively..."become a demon"!

In the end, he fell into the darkness together with that filth, and fell into the eternal dream formed by the filth in the soul.

For a moment in the outside world, thousands of years have passed in the dream.

In the dark, the heart is light.

Watching until the clouds open and the moon shines brightly, and the filth in the soul is cleared away, naturally, the root cause of this scorpion egg is also cleared away.

Purifying the soul means purifying the heart...

Chu Mu pursed his lips. At this moment, he felt indescribably helpless.

After waiting for a long time, this is the result...

Such a moth flying into the flame would probably be avoided by everyone in the ancient heavenly palace.

In this hall, among the hundreds of thousands of monks offering sacrifices, it is probably difficult to find a few volunteers.

More likely, they come through coercion and inducement.

This seems to explain why the Tiangong, which has ruled the world of immortality for countless years, collapsed extremely quickly after the catastrophe caused by the Sand-tailed Scorpion Mother, or the Tianyan Holy Beast.

Eight hundred years of spring and autumn, hundreds of thousands of monks... slept forever.

Given the terror of the Tianyan Holy Beast, and the scale of that catastrophe that completely destroyed the world of immortality, how many more than 370,000 monks could there be in the world of immortality after that catastrophe?

"Junior brother, you don't need to worry too much. A pure soul is also a pure heart. Anyone who can survive this calamity, without exception, has a mind as strong as a torch and a will as strong as steel. The road to immortality is also a chasm in the sky turned into a smooth road. From now on, we embark on The Avenue to Heaven.”

"This palace also has unimaginably rich rewards for the Pure Soul disciples..."

Yun Qianshan spoke slowly, seeming to be comforting Chu Mu, but also seemed to be comforting himself.

"I dare to ask, senior brother, how many Jinghun disciples are there in Jinghun Mountain now?"

At this time, Chu Mu suddenly changed the topic and asked.

"As of now, there are still 3,892 disciples in the mountain."

"There are people like you, junior brother, who have just entered Pure Soul Mountain, and there are also people who have stayed here for many years and are still looking for people with dirty minds..."

"In addition, there are more than 100,000 attendants in the mountain. When Junior Brother you settle down, we will arrange for the attendants to come to Junior Brother's residence to take care of Junior Brother's food, clothing, housing and transportation. This will also make it easier for Junior Brother to find your spiritual filth..."

Chu Mu's eyes moved slightly and he nodded slightly. He looked around, the candlelight flickering. Through the doors and windows, he could clearly see the mountains stretching and the towering pavilions and pavilions.

At this time, Yun Qianshan said again:

"If junior brother is worried too much, he can also leave his bloodline here. Every attendant in the mountain is carefully selected by someone sent by this palace..."

"According to the regulations of the palace, no matter whether you, junior brother, have succeeded in purifying your soul or not, and no matter what the bloodline qualifications of your heirs are, you can enjoy the treatment of a disciple in this palace from birth."

When Chu Mu heard these words, he couldn't help but be startled, as if he was a little stunned.

Immediately, he seemed to have thought of something, and said slowly: "I dare to ask, senior brother, I have a spiritual beast, and I entered the Pure Soul Mountain with my junior brother, does this spiritual beast also need... pure soul?"

With that said, Chu Mu patted the Qiankun bag on his waist, and Wangcai appeared. The pale golden demon body was still full of mottled blood.

Seeing Wangcai's appearance, Yun Qianshan seemed to be stunned, and his originally smiling expression became almost visibly serious.

"Junior brother, why did you bring the spiritual beast here?"

"Didn't the palace say that people with incomplete intelligence are not allowed to enter this place?"

Chu Mu's heart sank, and an ominous premonition also came to his mind.

"Now we're in trouble!"

Yun Qianshan looked ugly: "How can you find a dirty mind if you are not fully intelligent!"

"If you don't have a sound mind, you can only rely on the guidance of the master. In other words, if you want to save this spiritual beast, junior brother, you have to find out how dirty the soul is and then pull this spiritual beast into your family. spiritual world."

"But if this is the case, junior brother, what you have to face is not only the filthiness of your own soul, but also the filthiness of this spiritual beast's soul."

"Spiritual beasts are not fully intelligent and their minds are dirty. They are often weirder and more unpredictable..."

"When Pure Soul Mountain was first established, there were several senior brothers who led spirit beasts here, and there were also those who tried to save the spirit beasts, but without exception, none of them could succeed..."

Having said this, Yun Qianshan was silent for a while, and then tactfully advised:

"Junior brother, you are really cultivating the artistic conception and have a firm mind and will. According to past experience, the chance of success in purifying the soul through the true cultivation of the artistic conception is very high..."

Chu Mu forced a smile. He stroked Wangcai's head and looked down. At this time, Wangcai seemed to understand what the two said.

It raised its head and looked at Chu Mu. In its eyes, there was no trace of the beast's brutality, only the gentleness as before.

Without any means of restraint, he is still so... docile!

"Don't worry, I won't leave you alone." Chu Mu rubbed Wangcai's head and seemed to be laughing and cursing, but the firmness in his words was also extremely clear.

So far, this is the only one on my journey to immortality.

If he leaves even this last point behind, then he will really be alone.

"Hey……"

Seeing this, Yun Qianshan opened his mouth. When the words came to his lips, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Junior brother, please think about it carefully. Senior brother, I am in Yunfeng Pavilion at the foot of the mountain. If anything happens, just send a message directly."

Yun Qianshan patted Chu Mu on the shoulder, said nothing more, turned around and walked out of the palace.

Chu Mu's eyes flashed slightly, and as he nodded, he watched Yun Qianshan slowly disappear from sight.

"The soul is immortal...or is the obsession still there?"

Chu Mu looked around, and a voice of self-murmur that only he could hear slowly sounded.

The era of Heavenly Palace has been so long ago.

It is obviously impossible to say that this Pure Soul Mountain has existed since ancient times and has been inherited forever.

Judging from what Yun Qianshan said, his consciousness was obviously still in the ancient heavenly palace.

In other words, I stayed at Jinghun Mountain for more than eight hundred years.

But the reality is that the Heavenly Palace has long become a legend, and is not even known to the vast majority of immortal cultivators.

"Perhaps it is the spiritual world formed by relying on the Heavenly Evolution Saint Beast?"

Chu Mu was pacing in the hall, and as his consciousness circulated, candlelights came into his perception, and wooden tablets, along with their personal names, also came into his perception.

Everything is clear.

Some tablets are withered like rotten wood, as if they have gone through countless years of spring and autumn and have become dead. Some tablets are full of life, and you can even see the faint fluctuations of the soul.

There is also a trace of life left in the withering of the rotten wood, like a candle in the wind, which seems to be completely extinguished at any time.

Some candles suddenly went out, and the tablets withered completely...

Hundreds of thousands of tablets are stacked in layers, surrounding the hall, showing solemnity.

Chu Mu walked around and didn't notice anything unusual.

As he paused, his eyes moved and he was once again fixed on the dazzling scarlet color on his wrist.

Sand-tailed scorpion mother, or... Tianyan holy beast...

His guess seems to be correct.

The truth is even... scarier.

For more than eight hundred years, hundreds of thousands of monks came and went.

But so far, that side of Mohai is obviously almost out of control.

I just don’t know what is the reason for this place, which has been hidden from ancient times, to reappear in the world?

"There should be some kind of back-up plan?"

Chu Mu was thoughtful, he patted Wangcai's head, took a step forward, and walked out of the hall as if he was shrinking to an inch.

The mountain peaks are towering, and the main hall is even more majestic.

Even when you climb high and look far away, you can't see the end of Jinghun Mountain.

Wherever you look, you can see rolling mountain peaks with countless pavilions and pavilions standing there.

In front of the temple, there were even many disciples wearing... Tiangong robes walking past.

Some people with low cultivation level, seeing him standing in front of the temple, even stopped to greet him and paid homage.

He could even hear some of the conversations among the monks, and the topics were all about purifying souls. The dazzling scarlet color on their wrists was also extremely clear.

Everything is extremely real.

It was as if he had really crossed the long river of time, arrived at the ancient Tiangong era, and arrived at Jinghun Mountain in this ancient era. He transformed into a Tiangong disciple and fulfilled the mission of flying a moth into the flame.

"Heavenly Palace..."

He took a long breath, shook his head, and dispelled countless distracting thoughts in his mind. He took steps towards the direction of Pure Soul Pavilion mentioned by Yun Qianshan.

Behind the main hall, the ancient tower stands tall.

The plaque of Jinghun Pavilion hangs high on this nine-story ancient pagoda.

The door of the first floor of the ancient pagoda is wide open, and there is an endless stream of Tiangong monks coming in and out.

"All the testers are here..."

Chu Mu glanced at the two monks who just passed by without leaving any trace. Although they were also wearing Tiangong robes, it was not difficult for him to see that these two people were the testers outside Jinghun Mountain.

As his thoughts flowed, Chu Mu raised his hand and his light green robe suddenly rippled. In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a flawless white robe from the Heavenly Palace.

When the wealth is put into the Qiankun bag, standing alone, there is no difference at all from the surrounding Tiangong monks.

And with the flash of the phantom god's face, his face also changed, and his aura converged. Even people he knew well might not be able to recognize his existence...
