Chapter 750: Tracing the Root

Unfortunately, in the martial arts world, most people want to become stronger, and this is an irreversible trend. Meng Zhen really thinks that this is impossible.

But Xue Mu thought that it was possible to at least weaken this tendency a little bit—in fact, he had already done so to some extent.

How many people in the world a thousand years from now will no longer regard martial arts as their only goal? Xue Mu can’t even count.

And weakening the spirit of aggression and slowing the formation of evil spirits can also be guided. The more civilized and developed the society, the less likely it is that people will fight each other at the drop of a hat or destroy entire families at the slightest provocation. Even if there are such things, they are not recognized by the world.

The combination of the two can indeed slow down and weaken the formation of evil spirits.

If there are also full-time demon hunters, it seems that a feasible world system can be formed, which is probably more reliable than the nine cauldrons that will never lose their position.

Xue Mu finally came to a conclusion: “You are right. The way of heaven should not manifest as a physical object. In fact, it is just an excuse for some people to achieve their own selfish goals. Jiuding Town has no other benefits besides nurturing nine powerful sects.”

Meng Zhen suddenly turned his head and stared at his eyes: “How do you know that the nine ding shapes are the result of the transformation of the heavenly path?”

Xue Mu suddenly realized that he had said something inappropriate: “I just said it off the cuff…”

Meng Zhen looked at him for a while, but did not pursue the matter further. Instead, his expression softened and he whispered, “I knew it. You and I are on the same path.”

After saying this, he seemed to feel a little shy, and then turned his head to continue looking at the sea.

It was already dusk, and the sunset was hanging in the sky, casting a hazy glow over the land and the sea. Meng Zhen looked at the sea with a look of confusion, as if he didn’t know where the road ahead lay. At this time, with a slightly shy look and flushed cheeks, in Xue Mu’s eyes, she had a different kind of soft beauty, but he also knew that this person was probably stronger than Xue Qingqiu, and the word “soft” could not be used on her. This feeling was very strange.

It should be said that this is a very idealistic person, and such people probably don’t live very comfortably in any society. Therefore, Zheng Wuzi agrees with Ji Hao, even if he thinks he is a little stubborn, he will not agree with Meng Zhen. That kind of unrealistic attitude will be considered whimsical or simply lacking ambition.

As for the “world’s most beautiful woman” Zheng Wuzi mentioned, Xue Mu didn’t feel it so strongly. After all, he had seen too many beautiful women. The stable life and abundant supplies that had come about after a thousand years of chaos were incomparable to the chaotic world of a thousand years ago. The chances of a beautiful woman were definitely much greater than a thousand years ago.

But it must be admitted that Meng Zhen was indeed very beautiful, and she was in no way inferior to her disciples and grandchildren. In this era, she was definitely the world’s number one beauty.

The Xingyue Sect is basically a beauty pageant sect, and the founder is so beautiful that she bubbles.

But Xue Mu had no intention of wooing girls at the moment. His thoughts were all on how to “reverse the cause and effect” and how to get back. There was still a bloody battle for life and death going on over there. He had come here to look for clues to the Nine Cauldrons Unification. Following Meng Zhen’an to observe and analyze was a proper thing to do, so where did the mood to woo girls come from?

Even though he knew that Meng Zhen was a pushover.

The two of them have already interwoven their souls, and this level is actually much higher than sensuality, and it is also stronger than the soul contamination of Qin Wuye at the beginning. He has the most natural sense of closeness and affection for Meng Zhen, and Meng Zhen certainly feels the same way about him. This is a mark from the soul that does not require any words.

Otherwise, how could she have casually grabbed a man’s hand and run around with him, not even bothering to ask about his inexplicable identity? Because she felt that the details were not important, she knew that this man was one of her own.

She was quite like Xue Qingqiu. Xue Qingqiu didn’t ask where Xue Mu came from either. They both saw things straight to the heart of the matter, not getting tangled up in trivialities.

The two were quiet for a moment, only the sound of the waves crashing against the rocks, with a strange rhythm, making people’s moods calm.

After standing quietly for an unknown period of time, Meng Zhen suddenly spoke up: “Ji Hao and I have several comrades-in-arms. Over the years, we have been quite effective in eliminating evil and evil spirits. The day you saved me on the island was when you were killing a very powerful true evil spirit…”

Xue Mu said, “I’m afraid I was also meddling in other people’s business. With your power and state of mind, it’s impossible for you to be affected by the evil spirits.”

“Not necessarily.” Meng Zhen smiled: ”It’s always good to have a helping hand, and it’s inspired me to a new method of practice, which will be beneficial for the final battle.”

“The final battle?”

Yes. We have been eliminating evil spirits for many years, and the evil spirits in the world have not been formed as quickly as we have killed them. There are now fewer and fewer of them, and there is only one strongest perfect evil spirit left, which we cannot destroy. Several friends are working together to force it to the uninhabited ice field. At that time, everyone will cooperate and use the strongest attack of the heavens and earth to completely purify it. There will only be a few scattered evil spirits left in the world, which can be slowly eliminated. Meng Zhen said, “My previous sword was destroyed in a battle a few months ago, so I had it remade. I came back to get it first, and then I’ll go to the ice field to meet them.”

Xue Mu smiled and said, “The sword hasn’t been forged yet, and you can’t wait, so you went overseas to get rid of the evil spirits?”

Meng Zhen also smiled and did not answer.

Xue Mu asked, “You’re waiting for your sword, so what is Ji Hao doing outside?”

Meng Zhen was silent for a moment, then whispered, “Probably preparing for things after the victory.”

Xue Mu stopped talking.

Suddenly, a voice came from afar: “Ji Hao’s sword has been renamed the Heavenly Sword. He calls himself the Son of Heaven, and I fear he is already preparing to unify the world and shepherd the people in the name of Heaven.”

Xue Mu turned around and looked around, but he didn’t see anyone.

The Ancestor of the Wuhen Dao?

Meng Zhen said, “Lianyu, you go away. I don’t talk to the lowest of the low who spy on people’s privacy.”

Liangyu laughed: “I like to make them scream without knowing who did it. If you don’t listen, can you stop me from talking? Do you know who Ji Hao met with the other day?”

Meng Zhen really didn’t bother to care.

Xue Mu’s heart stirred slightly, and he asked, “Did you meet a liar?”

Lianyu “Hey” said: “You’re a strange person, you’re a bit of a master. Ji Hao met Chang Bumei the other day, and Chang Bumei strongly advocated the transformation of the heavens, and it was clear that Ji Hao was moved.

Meng Zhen sighed: “It wasn’t Chang Bumei who convinced him… it was clearly his own original intention.”

Xue Mu said, “That’s the problem. If he wanted to do it himself, that’s fine, but why did that liar want him to do it?”

The prison guard was silent, obviously unable to answer.

Meng Zhen said lightly, “No matter what the reason is, since Chang Bumei wants to do it, we shouldn’t do it.”

The prison laughed: “This is not my business. I’ll see you later.”

The voice quickly disappeared without a trace.

Meng Zhen really sneered in contempt: “low-class.”

Xue Mu shook his head and laughed. These ancestors are quite interesting. Compared to the distorted Dao that has mutated over the past thousand years, theirs is the original Dao. For example, this Ancestor Wuhen is not like the Shadow Wing clan, who turned Wuhen into an assassination. His Dao is, in the final analysis, to harm people behind their backs, causing them to suffer without knowing that it was him who caused the trouble. He is very happy. As for the final result, he doesn’t care.

Combining the performance of the two worlds, Xue Mu had a vague idea of what the prison was talking about.

That guy Chang Baimai is obviously the ancestor of the Tianmiao Sect. This guy obviously doesn’t want a unified and stable world, but the current situation is that Ji Hao and Meng Zhen’s group are too strong. Seeing that the evil spirits will be eliminated, the world will definitely be ruled by chaos and then by order. The general trend can no longer be reversed. What can he do?

He is planting a hidden danger for the future… and letting his descendants hold on to this hidden danger and bring about the world of evil spirits again.

Xujing said that he was not trying to destroy the world, and that it would be more beneficial for Xu to follow him. Mu Jianli’s pure sword heart intuitively felt that this was true… it turned out that the problem was here. His original intention was not to destroy the world. In the end, what they yearned for was chaos and disorder. What Xujing wanted was to disrupt the stable order of the world and restore the disorderly system of a thousand years ago… the ancestors had left him a back door…

Xu Jing’s inexplicable and incomprehensible move to destroy the world finally found an answer.

But Xue Mu was even more frustrated. What use is it to know all this? It doesn’t solve the pressing problem… It can’t stop the nine cauldrons from splitting a thousand years ago, it can’t find a way to reunite the nine cauldrons a thousand years later, and it doesn’t know how to get back! I don’t even know how things are over there…
