What would a normal Mahayana casual cultivator do before crossing the catastrophe

Through the bronze mirror, Qinan contacted Danxiu who was in the Great Barren Continent, and asked him to lend the bronze mirror to Jianjun Yuhong for a period of time.

Soon after, Yu Hong's face appeared in the bronze mirror.

There is still a radiant law of light over there, and the sword master Yihong behind the bronze mirror has not changed much.Qinan's tense nerves gradually relaxed, and he smiled when he saw him: "Jiang Hong Jianjun, are you okay?"

There was no expression on Yi Hong's face, he just stared at him quietly with his beautiful gray eyes, and said, "I'm fine, but I can't help but miss you."

Qinan felt the heat in his ears, coughed and began to talk about business: "This bronze mirror is quite exhausting, so I won't waste time."

He told Jianjun Yihong one by one what he had sorted out and guessed. After he finished speaking, he paused and asked, "What do you think?"

Yu Hong was silent for a moment, then frowned slightly.He slowly said: "If your guess is correct... then maybe it can explain a problem."

Qinan gave a puzzled "hmm".

I only heard Yihong whispering: "How did Guiyuan develop the monks in the source realm?"

Qinan's pupils shrank suddenly.

The development of Guiyuan has always been mysterious, and the monks in the source world have never discovered how they obtained so many loyal members.

But what if the problem really lies in the catastrophe?

Then things will form a complete chain-a normal monk is going to cross the catastrophe. Before the catastrophe, he has nothing to do with Guiyuan, but after the catastrophe, he has become "Guiyuan".

And the "Guiyuan" of Yuanjing can use the concealment of his identity to quietly distort the will of middle and low-level monks, turning them into "Guiyuan".

In this way, Guiyuan can quietly penetrate into all sects without being noticed.

Because that person was indeed a normal cultivator loyal to his sect and family before crossing the catastrophe, and no one could find any traces of his contact with Guiyuan.

Qinan thought of the suzerain of Moxingzong whose temperament had changed drastically.

That person was also a normal and conscientious suzerain before the catastrophe, but after the catastrophe, his temperament suddenly changed, and he even destroyed the Mo Xingzong with his own hands.

If that's because he did die under the Heavenly Tribulation, and the only one living in his body is a "Guiyuan" demon, then everything makes sense.

Qinan raised his hand to cover his face, and suddenly felt a burning pain spreading in his chest.

"Qinan."

Jianjun Yihong's deep and gentle voice brought back his reason.

Qinan put down his hand, his eyes were terribly calm: "You had a similar guess?"

"Yes." Yu Hong said, "The research on the cause of the catastrophe has never stopped. However, there is no evidence before, so this speculation has been shelved."

Qinan asked: "Then you just said you could prove it, so what happened?"

Yi Hong paused and said, "I'll show you a record."

A moment later, a huge record was sent to Qinan.He flipped through the records, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter.

The records show that many Yuanjing monks behaved very normally for a long time after crossing the catastrophe, and even continued to hunt and kill the Guiyuan rebels.However, on a certain day, he suddenly became irritable, and then gradually became abnormal... It turned out that they had quietly turned into "Guiyuan".

In addition, Qinan also saw a special record.

Zuo Ming's observation memory of the time when his Taoist companion Lingxiao was transformed into "Guiyuan".

Ling Xiao began to have an abnormal personality, impulsive and irritable, and any emotional fluctuations were abnormally magnified many times.

——This is the only record of the regressive conversion process that has been accurately observed.

With a twitch in Qinan's heart, he gradually understood what Yao Hong said before.

Zhuguangjian Jun fell into a coma after the Heart Demon Tribulation, and then returned to normal for a long time; at this time, he fell into a coma again, and his symptoms were almost exactly the same as those after the Heart Demon Tribulation.

This can prove that the evil consequences planted by the heart demon calamity may be delayed.

In addition, if you think about it, the Lightning Sword Master's Heart Demon Tribulation and Thunder Tribulation did not come at the same time, but it is almost certain that the Heart Demon Tribulation will end after the Thunder Tribulation comes... Does this mean that the Thunder Tribulation and the Heart Demon Tribulation actually have Different sources, and the thunder robbery has the ability to hinder the heart demon robbery?

But now the cultivator's Thunder Tribulation is suddenly so strong that it is impossible to survive. Could it be that the evil fruit that the Heart Demon Tribulation can plant has also increased, so the stronger Thunder Tribulation can only be used to stop it?It just so happened that Lord Light-Chasing Sword did feel a stronger and stronger soul interference in the near future and fell into a coma...

By the way, there is also Yan Nange.

This old black-bone chicken broke through to the Origin Realm before meeting that strange genius "Ye Cheng".

So what caused his inner demon tribulation not to come?

...Is it because he endured the thunder tribulation instead of the Light Chasing Sword Lord?

Qinan lowered his eyes and pondered for a long time, then raised his eyes to look at Jianjun Yuhong tentatively and said, "Thunder calamity can be divided into one to nine levels, there must be a reason for that."

Yi Hong seemed to know what he was talking about, and continued without a pause: "Those who have survived nine thunderstorms have never found that Guiyuan is mixed."

Qinan's eyes flickered slightly: "It feels quite similar to the Golden Crow's Core."

Yi Hong also said, "Indeed."

Qinan immediately knew that Jianjun Yuhong was thinking the same as himself.

The Golden Crow's core is divided into inner and outer layers, the outer layer is in charge of sealing, while the inner with strong erosive energy is fighting with it in order to break through the shackles.

And Heavenly Tribulation is also divided into two types, Lei Jie is working hard to eliminate the evil results left by Xin Demon Jie, while Xin Demon Jie spares no effort to create "Return to Yuan".

If it is said that the imprint left by the Nine Dao Thunder Tribulation can completely suppress the "evil" of the Heart Demon Tribulation, then does this mean... those monks who have not experienced the Nine Dao Thunder Tribulation have become "" Returning to Yuan”?

If this is true, then the fact that the cultivation world has always believed that "the catastrophe is random, and no matter how strong or weak the Taoism is, someone will succeed in overcoming the catastrophe" can be denied.

Because those monks who were weak in Taoism and failed to survive the end of the Nine Dao Thunder Tribulation, even if they survived, they were not the original him.

Qinan suddenly felt a little chilly, and the fear of the unknown permeated his bones a little bit, making his scalp numb.He asked word by word: "Mr. Jian Hong, do you think that before the beginning of the Twelve Continents Era, monks need to 'cross the catastrophe' to break through the origin?"

Yu Hong was silent for a moment, then said: "There is no record."

There is no record, is it because the time interval is too long, or in fact, there was no such thing as crossing the catastrophe in the era of chaos?

Qinan took a light breath and said in a low voice, "It's really scary."

Yi Hong didn't speak, just looked at him silently.

Qinan laughed and sighed: "Okay, I have to go to alchemy. These things...you can figure it out."

"it is good."

Qinan hung up the communication, turned his head to look at the walking corpses who were sealed in the formation not far away, handed over the elixir he had refined to the monk in charge, and then continued to invest in alchemy.

On the other side, Yu Hong frowned slightly, and opened another jade slip.

[Dong Zhouyuan Prisoner Interrogation Report [-]—Elder "Rong Qi" of Emperor Tian Jianmen Danxiu Keqing]

【This person began to become irritable and irritable at the end of 8728. After a conflict with the monks in the sect, he was ordered by the second elder "Return to the Market" to leave Yunji Peak and confine himself to calm down. 】

【…】

[At the beginning of 8734, "Rong Qi" was identified as a member of "Guiyuan". 】

Yao Hong stared at these contents, and was silent for a long time, then suddenly took out the summoning token to contact Void Jiao.

[Huangtian Jianmen·Yuhong: Senior Void Realm, please check if there is any difference in the Void Realm runes where Elder Guixu resides. 】

【Emperor Heaven Sword Gate·Void Jiao: Return to the Ruins?Didn't that kid punish himself to enter Winter Day Abyss? He should still be there right now.Wait for me to see. 】

After a short pause, the message of the Void Jiao appeared again.

[Emperor Heaven Sword Gate Void Jiao: He's gone! ! ! 】

【Huangtian Sword Gate·Xujiejiao: I didn't even realize that someone had passed through the barrier during this period of time! !How could he disappear!And I summoned him and he didn't reply! 】

【Emperor Heaven Sword Gate·Xujiejiao: Did you discover something! 】

Looking at Xu Jie's reply, Yao Hong pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes gradually darkened.

After a long time, he calmly recalled the authority of the deputy sect master, and issued an announcement to everyone in Huangtian Sword Sect.

【Second Elder "Guixu" disappeared, suspected of betraying Huangtian Jianmen.Please be careful. 】
