With the guidance of the Tree Spirit, Su Yun headed straight towards the west.
It wasn't until they passed through the crystal clear stream and over the steep hill covered in grass that Su Yun suddenly felt that something was watching him from the shadows. It was only after a period of time did he realise that many of the creatures here had already become intelligent.
A flower, a tree, a grass, a stone, could all be an existence with nearly ten thousand cultivation bases. These were definitely not things that the fiendish demons that relied on some kind of demonic Qi, resentful aura, or killing aura to refine their form could compare to.
From time to time, one could see Spirit Cultivator in long white robes flying through the sky like a celestial being on a cloud, giving off the feeling that they were too high to reach.
Su Yun, who was walking below, naturally appeared in their eyes. Although Long Zhen's bracers covered Su Yun's cultivation, these supreme expert techniques were unique, from Su Yun's attire and actions, they could guess his cultivation. Against such low cultivation people, most of the supreme expert s chose to ignore them and flew away.
Seeing that, Su Yun was not angry, after all, there were too many Spirit Cultivator s with weaker cultivations rushing into the Ultimate Martial Sacred Plain, so these Great Saint supreme expert s who were in cultivation were bored to death seeing all these people.
After walking westward for an unknown amount of time, a strange scenery finally appeared in the distance.
A village made entirely out of wood.
Su Yun looked from afar, his heart was startled.
Could it be that there were also original inhabitants here?
However, this village was rather simple and crude. There were only houses, and not a single one of them was left. Moreover, these houses were covered with many runic formations …
Su Yun had some doubts in his heart, so he stepped forward. He wanted to go in and take a look, and conveniently asked him about the situation of the 'Wanhua Realm' gatekeeper to see if he could find anything.
However, after only taking a few steps, he bumped into a transparent barrier, making it difficult to advance any further.
"Ugh …"
Su Yun took a few steps back and looked over. He realised that it was a barrier that cut off the entire village from the rest.
When Su Yun touched the barrier, the barrier protecting the village immediately fluctuated like a ripple. Then, a young boy wearing green clothes appeared out of nowhere into the peaceful village.
The man quickly ran over and glanced at Su Yun, and then let out a snort.
"Who are you? "He actually doesn't know the rules. I wonder if my teacher is giving a lecture?"
Sir? A lecture?
Su Yun was confused, he did not know what the man was talking about, so he cupped his fists and said: "I am Su Yun, for the first time in this place, there are many rules that I do not know of, if there is anything that offends you, please forgive me."
Seeing that Su Yun's attitude was not bad, his gloomy face was slightly relieved. He looked at Su Yun and asked: Then what are you doing here? Do you also want to ask my husband? If that's the case, then in a few years time, my teacher will only recruit ten disciples every ten years. It's only been seven years since the last time he recruited a disciple, so you still need three years to do so! "
"I'm sorry, I'm not here to ask for advice from your esteemed self. I'm here to ask for directions."
Su Yun said.
"Aren't you here to acknowledge me as your teacher?" The man was startled for a moment, he did not think that someone would come here with another purpose, he once again sized up Su Yun from head to toe, and then asked curiously: "What path are you looking for?"
"It's about the gatekeeper of the 'Wanhua Realm'." Su Yun said: "Earlier, over there, I was proud of Senior Tree Spirit's guidance, and said that it went all the way west, and that I could see the entrance to the 'Wanhua Realm', but after going down for an unknown period of time, I still could not see the entrance, so I wanted to ask Sir, do you know where that gate guard is?"
Who knew that upon hearing Su Yun's words, his calm face immediately turned cold, seeing that he was staring at Su Yun with contempt and disdain, he snorted coldly: "So you are going to Wanhua Realm? Hmph, I don't know where the Wanhua Realm's gatekeeper is, if you want to ask, then ask someone else! "
With that, the man no longer paid any attention to Su Yun and turned to walk back into the village.
Seeing that, Su Yun was shocked.
What was going on? Why did he suddenly leave just like that? The people from the Ultimate Martial Sacred Plain were really strange.
But let's go, the Ultimate Martial Sacred Plain was so big, if he was unwilling to say, could he not find him yet?
Su Yun heaved a sigh of relief, turned his head, went around the village and continued heading west.
However, just as he arrived at the center of the village, he couldn't help but stop in his tracks.
The barrier was transparent, and although it prevented people from entering, the people outside could clearly see what was inside.
It turned out that this was not a village, but a gathering place for a group of Spirit Cultivator. These wooden buildings were their cultivation rooms.
From the outside, it seemed very quiet and empty, but that was not the case, because at this very moment, everyone was gathered in the middle of the so-called 'village'. There was a Bodhi tree there, and under the Bodhi tree, sat an old man in a white robe.
His hair was almost completely white, and he had an incomparably long and slender body, messy falling to the ground. His eyebrows and beard were extremely thick, and both of his fur were drooping to the ground, the old man's eyes were like two slits, it was almost impossible to see his eyeballs, his hands were placed on his knees, he was staring forward, and some words were softly coming out of his mouth.
Beside him sat a total of seventy over Spirit Cultivator s.
Although the old man did not use much strength to speak, his voice was unexpectedly heard by everyone around him.
The old man was extraordinary, with just a glance from Su Yun, he had this strange thought in his mind, but what made him even more shocked was that out of the seventy people seated beside the old man, a portion of them were already unable to feel their Spirit Qi.
Their auras were ethereal, like a dream bubble. It was impossible to determine their cultivation levels.
What realm was this?
Su Yun thought.
Cultivators also have the spirit, and all things can become cultivators. Cultivators can also become everything, and become the masters of all things, becoming the masters of all things, becoming the cultivators of all spirits. When one cultivates the spirit, one's heart, one's heart, one's heart cannot become the master, one cannot become the master, one cannot become the master, only when one's heart becomes the master can one enter the supreme realm.
At this time, the old man's voice came out from the barrier that cut off the entire 'village', and slowly seeped into Su Yun's ears.
At first, Su Yun did not think much, but after the old man said those words, he could not help but feel that there was logic behind it, and felt a sense of novelty.
Spirit Master, Mind Cultivator, Spirit Cultivator, Mind Cultivator, Everything was the same as the Spirit Cultivator … All of these things were completely new to Su Yun, and the old man's words made him feel refreshed.
Was this the old man's opinion? Although there were some areas where he didn't quite understand them, he couldn't help but reflect on them. In his heart, he had a strange feeling of suddenly being enlightened … As expected of the supreme expert, just a few casual words of comprehension was enough to give a person quite a bit of insight.
Su Yun thought in his heart, he was actually not moving at all, he was just standing outside the barrier, quietly listening to the old man's words.
Everyone listened intently, none of them noticed that outside the barrier not far away stood a man with a black sword on his back and wearing a black cloak, carrying a sword sheath.
The blue sky began to darken.
Dark clouds covered the sky.
A strong wind blew.
The raindrops gradually fell on this magical land.
However, Su Yun did not know, and continued to listen quietly.
The devil blood in his body was abnormally restless, but at this moment, he felt as if he had completely fallen into a world beyond the mortal realm, and his heart was incomparably calm.
The rain had stopped, the wind had stopped, the sun was shining, and the sun was high in the sky.
Su Yun maintained his appearance, standing outside the barrier.
The old man's lecture lasted a full four days and three nights.
Within these four days and three nights, almost no one, including Su Yun, had moved an inch.
The old man raised his head, his slits like eyes opened up a bit, sweeping across the people present, in the end, he secretly glanced at Su Yun who was standing outside, and without reacting, he continued to tirelessly recount his experience, insights and heart's experiences.
The wind came and went, and the moon and sun alternated. This time, six days had passed!
Six days!
Maybe when Su Yun regained his senses, he would feel that it was like yesterday.
"Alright, that's all for today's lecture."
The old man continued to stare at the crowd with his slit eyes as he spoke.
With that said, many of the people below who had maintained their status as statues started to simultaneously move. After that, all of them stood up, clasped their hands, and bowed to the old man as they prepared to leave.
One.
Two.
Three.
....
With the exception of a few people, the vast majority of them stood up and prepared to leave. After they had finished listening to the old man's lesson, they would usually return to their own training rooms to cultivate or organize their experiences. Of course, there would be some people who would have doubts, but today, no one seemed to be puzzled by the course.
"Wait!"
Just as everyone was about to leave, the old man sitting cross-legged beneath the Bodhi tree suddenly called out.
Everyone stopped in their tracks, immediately turning around and clasping their fists towards the old man, as if they were all listening attentively.
The old man stood up with his hands behind his back, walked down, circled around the people, then said indifferently: "None of you asked any questions, and all of you are planning to go into closed door cultivation, that means, all the content you've given me in the past few days has been comprehended, right?"
With this said, many people looked at each other in dismay, somewhat surprised that the old man would say such words.
A few people who were confident that they had learned well spoke out in unison.
"The student thinks that if you learn from the person, you will gain enlightenment in the heart."
"Does that mean you understand?"
The old man turned his head and looked at the few Spirit Cultivator s that answered seriously, and his eyes suddenly widened.
The few of them felt uncomfortable under the elder's gaze. All of them remained silent and no longer spoke.
However, the old man then continued, "Since that's the case, I'll test all of you on what I've explained this time. There shouldn't be any problems, right?"
