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

"Ugh-"

The gentle wind slowly wandered among the ruins covered with moss and weeds, playing a weeping music.

Qinan's long hanging hair was slightly lifted by the wind.He strolled through the barren ruins, gently brushed the rough walls of the dilapidated houses with his fingertips, and looked up at the mountain that had been cut in half not far away.

"Shua la la..."

An insect suddenly jumped out of the grass at the foot, and quickly disappeared into another grass in a panic.

Qinan lowered his eyes to look at the direction the voice came from, and was silent for a long time, then suddenly raised the corners of his lips slightly, and murmured to himself: "Sure enough, it's still..."

Halfway through his speech, his voice dropped again, and then he stepped forward.After passing through a large area of ​​ruins, a broken stone tablet appeared in front of his eyes.

Qinan stopped, the smile on his lips disappeared, and he stared deeply at the remnant stele.

It looks like it was placed there a long, long time ago. The erosion of rainwater and wind and sand has made the texture of the writing on it blurred, and the ubiquitous moss has also clinged to every crevice and hole in it. orifice.

Qinan stared at it for a long time, finally approached slowly, knelt down on one knee in front of it, and raised his hand to brush across the void.

The dust and moss were stripped away, and the scattered gravel on the ground also broke free from the soil, flying back to the remnant stele as if going back in time.

Three vague and simple characters also reappeared.

Mo Xingzong.

Qinan stared at these three words for a long time, smiled, got up and moved on again.

"Junior Brother Puyang, shall we form a team for the next inner sect assessment?"

"My God, why are those inner disciples able to enter and exit the Sutra Pavilion at will, I'm so envious!"

"Puyang, it doesn't matter if you fail the examination, we will continue the examination after five years! One day you will become an inner disciple!"

"Puyang, have you thought about what dao name you will use in the future?"

"Hey, wait for me, senior brother Puyang, hey, Puyang Xing! What are you in a hurry for?"

"Puyang..."

It seems that from the moment of stepping into this land, the pictures hidden in the depths of memory surged up one by one, overlapping with the ruins in front of me.

Qinan closed his eyes and continued to walk forward.

It's a pity that until the end, he failed to become the inner disciple he had so much yearned for.

Yuan Ling circulated around Nantianzhou again and again, and it was already evening in this area, and Yuan Ling gradually moved away from this area.

It's going to be night.

Qinan silently walked through several cities and forests, and when passing by an unnamed tomb deep in the forest, Qinan stopped again, knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.

"Master, I'm sorry. My disciple failed to find the sect you used to be in...but I will fulfill your last wish for you." He whispered, and took out from his pocket a coin that recorded a large number of researches on alchemy formulas. The jade slips were gently placed in front of the grave.

laugh--

A purple flame appeared out of nowhere and ignited the jade slip.

Qinan quietly watched the jade slip being burned to ashes little by little, and finally got up again and continued walking forward.

Across the woods again, there was another tomb on top of a low hill by the sea.

This is a clothes tomb, and the tombstone in front of the tomb is engraved with the name of the long sleeper - "Puyang Shengyun".

Qinan looked at the tombstone for a while, then smiled again.He raised the corner of his robe and sat down beside the tombstone, lowered his eyes, pressed his forehead against the cold stone tablet, and called out in a low voice: "Mother."

Of course no one responded.

Qinan leaned quietly for a while, then slowly raised his head, looking at the sparkling sea in the distance together with the stele.Faintly, he saw the gradually lit fire in the fishing village at the foot of the mountain.

He still remembered that there should have been a thatched firewood house in the corner of this fishing village, but now it was occupied by other people's houses.

I don't know how long it took, but today's last ray of source spirit's brilliance finally disappeared behind the distant mountains.

Qinan stood up calmly again, took a step forward, and appeared thousands of miles away in an instant.

Until he left again in the flying boat, no one noticed that a Mahayana monk had come to this remote place.

……

It would take at least one month to go back and forth between Nantian Continent and Great Barren Continent if the most extreme measures were not used.

However, after leaving the influence range of Nantianzhou Yuanling tide, Yi Hong immediately used the communication jade slip to contact Huangtian Jianmen and asked them to send someone to Nantianzhou to pick up Qinan.

Therefore, if there is no accident, the people from Huangtian Sword Gate should have arrived in Nantianzhou soon.

Yu Hong pursed the corners of his lips, and stepped into the mountain guard formation of Huangtian Sword Gate.

He didn't want to keep an eye on him so closely, after all, Qinan said that he would come to Great Barren Island to find him.But last time, after Qinan received the training resources he gave, he couldn't find anyone in a blink of an eye. This incident left him with a deep psychological shadow.

Then it was a full 62 years of separation, and finally the disciple of Du Tianshan who was in charge of intelligence told him that there seemed to be someone he was looking for in Nantianzhou.

He rushed there in a hurry, only to see Qinan again.

Ye Hong's eyes darkened.

It is enough for some things to happen once, and there must never be a second time.

"Yuhong."

Yu Hong stopped in his tracks, turned his head to look at the man in black who suddenly appeared not far away, and replied, "Uncle Youjue."

You Jue, a man in black, is a big man over two meters tall, with fine black scales on the side of his face, and a pair of dark red vertical pupils, making him look cold and fierce.He tried his best to pull the corners of his lips, trying to squeeze out a kind smile at Yu Hong, but because of the stiff facial muscles, he looked nondescript: "Have you found the person you mentioned?"

Yu Hong was silent for a moment, then said, "En."

You Jue looked very happy, looked around, and asked doubtfully, "Then why didn't you bring him back?"

There was coldness in Yu Hong's gray eyes, and he briefly talked about the surprise attack he encountered in Nantian Continent by the three "Gui Yuan" from the origin.

After hearing what he said, You Jue frowned.He was originally fierce, but this time his expression was even more ferocious, and he asked anxiously: "Why did Guiyuan find out about your whereabouts? Did you tell others about this in advance?"

Yu Hong shook his head slightly.

You Jue also fell silent, and said after a long while: "The uncle will investigate this matter, so you don't want to leave the Great Wilderness for now... Wait, your breath..."

He sensed it, and said in amazement: "You have broken through the source realm!"

Yi Hong hummed.

You Jue became happy again: "Great, I will tell Huang Tian and Ping Yang later, and they will definitely be happy for you."

Hearing this, Yao Hong frowned again, and asked, "They're not in the sect."

You Jue took out a letter from his arms and explained: "Just now when you entered the battle, Senior Brother Huang Tian noticed your return, so he immediately dragged Pingyang Swordsman away, and asked me to give this to you."

Yu Hong had a bad premonition.

He took the letter paper, opened it, and saw a few lines of cursive script in his eyes.

"Yu Hong, you are unfilial son! You actually secretly ran away from home while I was at home, and left so many things in the door to your father alone to deal with! I have no time to study the Dao together with Pingyang! Hmph, since From now on, I will go out with Pingyang to train my heart, and I will not return for a hundred years, so don’t disturb me if nothing happens!"

Yihong: "..."

Yu Hong took a deep breath, and several veins popped up on his forehead.He looked at You Jue expressionlessly: "Master, you should stop my father."

You Jue said honestly: "But the brother in charge is too strong, I can't beat him."

Yi Hong was speechless.

During the silence, You Jue took out another token and handed it to Yu Hong.This is the supporting command talisman for the large formation protecting the mountains outside the Emperor Heaven Sword Gate. Without this, it is impossible to mobilize the laws of space in the outer formation to travel through space or fly with the sword.

In order not to alarm others when Yu Hong left, he purposely did not take the token, so he could only walk on foot.But Huangtian Sword Sect occupies an extremely vast area, and the outer area is basically the place where some disciples of the outer sect live. There are mostly spiritual fields and animal pens, which seem a bit desolate.

He didn't talk much in the first place, and now that he's in a bad mood, he doesn't even want to talk.

After receiving the order talisman, the two of them directly used the space secret technique to go outside the core area of ​​Huangtian Sword Gate.

What appeared in front of him was a majestic fairy palace to the extreme.

It is said to be the Immortal Palace, but this place is already bigger than a mortal country.The buildings with carved beams and painted buildings stretch for thousands of miles, silver-white flood dragons are playing in the sky, and higher up, floating mountains like countless stars are slowly dancing around, and each mountain has a small golden crow core inlaid at the bottom of it. debris.

If necessary, those Golden Crow's cores can be expanded into an incomplete "Golden Crow Secret Realm" at any time.

And just looking at it like this, you can see no less than dozens of Mahayana monks flying through the gaps in the building.

However, this is just a drop in the bucket of Huangtian Jianmen.

At this time, some monks found Jianjun Yuhong standing at the entrance of the fairy palace, and immediately showed a look of admiration and worship, and stopped what they were doing without hesitation and bowed to him.

Looking at this scene that he had long been accustomed to, Yi Hong suddenly remembered Qinan's words.

You Jue, who was on the side, keenly noticed that his nephew's mood suddenly became extremely bad, and couldn't help asking: "Yu Hong, what's wrong with you?"

Yu Hong pursed his lower lip, and said in a suppressed voice, "Qinan, I like Taoist companions whose cultivation level is lower than my own."

You Jue was stunned when he heard the words, and looked at his nephew who had already broken through the source realm, subconsciously said: "But isn't the source realm the highest realm of a monk?"

Yihong: "..."

Yu Hong started to sulk with a cold face.

You Jue realized that he had said the wrong thing, racked his brains for a long time, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration: "It's okay, Yu Hong! Uncle has a solution!"

Yi Hong raised his eyes to look at him.

I saw You Jue clenched his fist and knocked on his palm, and said naively with that fierce face: "Our Huangtian Sword Sect has nearly ten thousand source-level monks, which accounts for almost [-]% of the number of source-level monks in the Great Barren Island! And they all said The sword cultivators of Huangtian Sword Sect can hit twelve at a time, doesn't that mean that our source realm accounts for more than half of the Great Barren Continent."

"Why don't we convene the Twelve Continents Conference and divide more realms above the source realm!"
