Chapter 48: Chaos
The building ship rose rapidly and finally "floated" on the surface of the tide.
However, the outer demon did not give up and continued to attack, one wave after another.
It must be said that this time, thanks to Zhou Mengyao and the "Tai Chi Bagua Mirror", one attack and one defense, they barely resisted the offensive of the outer demon.
Qi Xuansu faced the outer demon for the first time. As the saying goes, seeing is better than hearing. No matter how others say it, it is better to experience it yourself.
The six stages of the world are Taixu, Taiyi, Taichu, Taishi, Taisu, and Taiji.
Strictly speaking, there is no world at all in the Taixu stage. It is a state of dissipation of qi and the starting zero, so Taixu is only the sixth Tai in the end, and does not belong to the innate five Tai.
Taiyi is the beginning of a world. The world at this stage has no qi. Qi, shape, and quality are present but have not separated, so it is called Hunlun.
This also explains what Hunlun is. Qi, shape, and quality already exist, but they have not been separated, the clear qi has not risen and the turbid qi has not fallen, so there is no qi. This state is Hunlun.
The world gradually develops, just like molten iron cooling, changing from liquid to solid, becoming more and more solid, more and more stable, and the rules are becoming more and more perfect.
Is this an irreversible state?
Not necessarily.
Molten iron can be cooled into iron blocks, and iron blocks can also be melted into molten iron again. This is the so-called refining of earth, water, fire and wind, and re-opening the world.
It's just that ordinary immortals can never do it. Perhaps only the realm of the Supreme Taoist Ancestor can do it, and it's only possible, not absolute. This is just a guess, just like an ant guessing the strength of an adult man, which is very ridiculous. It's ridiculous for a mayfly to shake a big tree. If it's an adult man, it's definitely not possible with his bare hands, but if there is a weapon at hand, it's not incredible to cut down a big tree.
The extraterritorial demon uses the dead cave heaven, the kingdom of God, and the small world as its body, and forcibly blends them together, just like melting all kinds of scrap copper and iron into a furnace, all melting molten iron.
Therefore, the extraterritorial demon is a small activated world in the Taiyi stage, which can naturally control the power of chaos, which is similar to the "Taiyi Law".
Then the extraterritorial demon swallowing the world is also easy to explain. By melting more "iron blocks" into "molten iron", and then fusing more "molten iron", it can strengthen itself.
The extraterritorial demon has spiritual intelligence, but no real self-core. It is a chaotic collection of thousands of consciousnesses, so it is not afraid of losing itself in this move, so its instinct is to expand disorderly. Don't talk about digestion problems, backlash problems, and guest-host problems. It is not a country or a group, which is not a problem.
Even as the extraterritorial demon continues to grow itself, the consciousness collection that gradually cannot keep up with the growth rate will gradually dissipate in this ever-expanding and increasingly real huge body, just like the Green Emperor transformed between heaven and earth, then there is an opportunity to give birth to the rules of heaven, making it possible for the extraterritorial demon to become a real world.
If you want to make an analogy, it's like a zombie that has been resurrected. Strictly speaking, a zombie is an independent individual born from a dead body. It is a new life and has no relationship with the corpse before it died. Wu Niang is in this situation. The dead female fairy was the opportunity for her birth, but she cannot be said to be the reincarnation of that female fairy.
Take the various caves in the human world for example. There are only two paths.
One path is to land normally and become a part of the human world.
The other path is to completely collapse and leave the human world, because the cave itself is in the gap between the human world and the "heaven". Since it cannot land on the human world, it will float to the boundless and mysterious world and become a "corpse" floating in the high-dimensional world. In the end, the "corpse" absorbs various scattered souls, three corpses, incense thoughts, etc., and a new consciousness set is born. This consciousness set drives the rotten "corpse" to continue to move, and at the same time constantly completes this "corpse" to make it a real body and grow a second time, thus becoming an extraterritorial demon.
Obviously, Kunlun Cave Heaven is the first path, and it keeps landing, and the appearance of Yujing is a clear proof.
The gradually collapsing Lingshan Cave Heaven is heading towards the second path. The connection between Lingshan Dongtian and the human world is getting weaker and weaker. One of the evidences is that the entrance to Lingshan Dongtian is constantly decreasing, and even through the means of "pseudo-ascension" to enter it. The second evidence is that the time inside Lingshan Dongtian is disordered, so Qi Xuansu keeps seeing the flashback of past scenes in Lingshan Dongtian, including the hands of Zu Tianshi himself. Tianshi also admitted that if it were not for the special place of Lingshan Dongtian, even with the power of Emperor Liu, it would not be possible to return to the past.
Immortals can create Dongtian, but it does not mean that the power of immortals will be stronger than Dongtian. It's like planting a seed. In the future, the seed will become a towering tree. Even the person who planted the tree at the beginning can't shake the tree at all. Only a storm can knock down the tree.
So in essence, the extraterritorial demons are completely different from the ancient immortals and ancient gods. The ancient immortals and ancient gods can at least communicate and bargain. As long as they can talk and as long as the benefits are enough, the ancient immortals can also love the Taoism.
But the demons from outside the domain basically cannot communicate. Even if the Taiping Dao could command the "Huang Tian" or King Xiao could command the "Cang Tian", they were mostly just following the flow. Just like flooding the seven armies, can the flood communicate? Or burning the camps, can the flames communicate?
Water and fire cannot communicate, they can only be controlled by using the topography, weather and other factors. It seems that Taiping Dao and King Xiao are also like this. They use various means to promote the advent of extraterrestrial demons and use them as weapons instead of reaching any agreement with "Cang Tian" and "Huang Tian".
At this time, Zhou Mengyao's eyes were completely engulfed in white light, and he tried to use "divine calculations" to figure out the origin of the extraterrestrial demon in front of him.
Immortals can look directly at the extraterrestrial demons, but only immortals who have entered the supreme state of forgetfulness can carefully observe or even study the extraterrestrial demons in depth. Otherwise, they will fall into inexplicable logical traps, leading to the emergence of inner demons and crazy self-destruction.
Because he was in the supreme state of forgetfulness, Zhou Mengyao's expression did not change at all, but the words he spoke were surprising: "This extraterrestrial demon has condensed some of the rudiments of the laws of heaven. It wants to pull us in." It’s within the rules, be careful!”
After the words fell, Zhou Mengyao once again used his sword with all his strength. For a moment, he saw countless sword lights erupting, criss-crossing, and then spreading in all directions. It was the "Tianwen Nine Styles".
"Tian Suan" plus "Tian Wen Nine Styles" are the famous "Tian Sword". This is the unique skill of the Daxuan royal family of Beidao Sect. However, because Mrs. Xuansheng never kept anything secret, it was also spread among the Taoist sect. As the descendants of Xuansheng, the Zhou family also learned this unique skill and passed it down from generation to generation.
I can see that the trajectory of the knife technique is condensed and undisturbed, just like the handwriting left on the scroll, constantly intertwined and perfected. As time goes by, it is like a painting master using lines to outline the mountains, rivers, vegetation, birds, fish and insects, as if a turbid air is descending. And the real world where Qing Qi rises.
The pressure from the extraterrestrial demons never fell on Zhou Mengyao, but was offset by the world she "painted" with her sword skills.
This small world can be said to be extremely unique. Whether it is "Qiankun Sleeve" or "Xingluo Sword Formation", they all use tangible objects to transform the invisible world, but "Heavenly Sword" uses invisible objects to transform the invisible world. The body is in harmony with the sword, and the sword is in harmony with the Tao. It is worthy of the name of "Heavenly Sword".
In this way, the sword itself is tangible, but the sword technique is intangible, so Zhou Mengyao's sword power ignores all boundaries and directly acts on the extraterrestrial demon.
Numerous wounds suddenly appeared on that ugly face, and black energy flowed from them.
It's a pity that Zhou Mengyao lost to Jiang Dazhen in the previous battle with Jiang Dazhen, who was second only to the third division. He was beheaded by Jiang Dazhen's sword. Now he is only 60 to 70% of his heyday, and he still looks like Somewhat difficult.
This was a situation where Qi Xuansu and Su Yuanzai shared at least half of the pressure. At the very least, she had no worries and was not afraid of enemies coming from all directions. She just had to concentrate on taking action. If Zhou Mengyao, who is seriously injured, encounters this extraterrestrial demon alone, he will immediately face a near-death situation.
Of course, if it were Qi Xuansu or Su Yuanzai who met the extraterrestrial demon alone, they would not even be able to survive in this life, and they would only be dead.
Su Yuanzai was even a little scared. He had come in so many times without disturbing this extraterrestrial demon. Although he was cautious enough, it had to be said that it was mostly due to good luck.
In fact, the pregnant White Lotus cultist had already given the three people a warning. The reason why he became like this was probably because he saw the demon from outside the territory, was affected by it, and became the container of the demon from outside the territory. The fetus was left behind by the demon from outside the territory. But Qi Xuansu and Zhou Mengyao didn't think much about it at that time, and came here anyway.
Zhou Mengyao also tried a close attack, but the extraterrestrial demon had begun to affect the space, causing Zhou Mengyao to retreat instead of advancing, contrary to common sense.
This is a common method used by immortals, such as the "Xingluo Sword Formation".
For extraterrestrial demons, this is their innate ability.
The next moment, the extraterrestrial demon opened its huge mouth like a crack in the abyss, trying to swallow the three of them in one bite.
This huge mouth is like a huge wave on the sea, and the building boat is like a small boat, which may capsize at any time.
A twisted and weird smile appeared on the face of the mask that seemed to be pushed up to the forehead. The eye sockets that had lost their eyes kept getting bigger, like an abyss, in which there were countless fragments and fragments from the long river of time. Taking this moment as the starting point, countless lines are derived, and there are three figures in each line, symbolizing countless possibilities.
In some timelines, three people were devoured by extraterrestrial demons. In some timelines, three people escaped from this place. In some timelines, three people defeated the extraterrestrial demon.
These timelines are constantly intertwined. Some form closed loops that continue to circulate. Some have become a mess that is difficult to distinguish. Others simply come to an abrupt end and have no future.
