Martial Arts: Start by Obtaining the Wild World

Chapter 401 0400: The First Life of Reincarnation: The Demon Race Will Never Be Slaves (1)

Time flies, and another ten years have passed.

In the palace of all races.

With the help of the Ringwraiths for many years, Cheng Zongyang's soul has been completely restored and is stronger than before.

"How's the clone?" Cheng Zongyang sat up and asked.

Now he and his clone have become two different independent individuals. If Cheng Zongyang does not merge his soul and spirit, they will develop separately.

"I have been in Chengjiazhuang for the past ten years. The current progress is probably not great. But I am becoming more and more like an ordinary person." The Ringwraith responded.

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly, not intending to interfere with the clone. The clone was walking the great road of heaven and earth, which was different from himself and the Ringwraith.

They are taking three parallel routes just to have one more opportunity.

Not putting all his eggs in one basket has always been his way of doing things.

"Not bad." Cheng Zongyang felt his own cultivation level and found that he was almost at the middle stage of Nascent Soul.

Even after lying down for ten years, one can slowly accumulate to the level of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. This shows how powerful the Five Elements body is.

"Then continue to retreat." Cheng Zongyang didn't think about caring about the affairs of the fairyland and the fairy city.

So, Cheng Zongyang, who had just woken up, went into seclusion again.

After being busy for so many years, a strong rear base to serve myself has been formed, and it is time to give back to myself.

Chengjiazhuang.

The clone Cheng Zongyang also smiled as he looked at the elders and juniors gathered at the door to say farewell.

"I'm just going out for a walk to experience the beautiful scenery. It's not like I won't be back."

Mother Cheng said with concern: "We all know, we just want you to be more careful."

Father Cheng put his hand on his son's shoulder and said with a smile:
"We understand. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. We are blessed with our current status and scale, and you are the one who made it happen. Descendants will have their own blessings, and there is no need to consider the people behind you for everything. You should also take more rest when appropriate."

Cheng Zongyang nodded and said, "I understand, kid."

He then looked at the younger generations present.

After staying at home for ten years, he has almost become a truly ordinary person. Except for his physique which has the strength of a golden elixir level, he is no different from ordinary people.

Over the past ten years, Cheng's mother basically stopped urging their son to get married, and they all realized that their son was hiding something from them.

Therefore, it no longer adds pressure to him.

During these ten years, the third generation, the fastest few descendants have already entered the Immortal City and Immortal Realm for training, and the slower descendants will also have to go out for training in a few years.

It can even be said that when the youngest one leaves Chengjiazhuang, the eldest Zhou Xingzu will probably get married.

"Improve yourself well. I have taught you everything you can in the past ten years. You will also teach the fourth and fifth generations. The elders cannot worry about everything."

"Yes! Uncle!!" the younger generations shouted.

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly, then headed to the other side of Tianduan Mountain, with Yu Hun beside him following closely.

This time, I plan to personally experience the cultural customs of different regions, the wonderful charm of natural landscapes, the majestic momentum of mountains and rivers, as well as the profound philosophy hidden between heaven and earth.

There was no need for him to explore the Realm of All Races, after all, that was a world dominated by the Ringwraiths.

It is filled with rules set by the Ringwraiths, and its environment is incompatible with his pursuit this time.

Only the world of martial arts is beyond the absolute control of him and the Ringwraiths.

Despite this, the influence of the Ringwraiths in this world continues to rise.

Although it is impossible to fundamentally rewrite the inherent rules of this world, it is possible for him to gradually understand and control the birth, aging, sickness and death of all lives in the martial arts world and all changes of all things in the world like a god.

Naturally, Cheng Zongyang also has the ability to let the Ringwraiths assist him.

This time when he went down the mountain, he had no set direction. He walked wherever his heart pleased and rested wherever he went.

However, he already had a detailed plan in his mind on how to travel in this world.

Tao follows nature, and its laws are invisible.

Between heaven and earth, there are humans, gods, ghosts, demons, monsters, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas...all things in the world are the evolution of Tao.

He does not limit himself to the single perspective of "human", but uses various forms such as "monsters", "beasts", "spirits", "monsters", "mountains", "rivers" and "ghosts" to deeply experience the various forms of life in this world, thereby gaining profound insights from different dimensions and directions.

He had also made plans for this with his original body and the Ringwraiths.

Cheng Zongyang and Yu Hun traveled leisurely all the way, and three days later, they finally arrived at the other end of Tianduan Mountain, which was already in the territory of Beiding Prefecture of Daliang.

This is a mountain platform where he often meditates and comprehends the universe.

The terrain here is high and the view is extremely broad. Standing on it, it seems that you can take in everything in the world.

Looking into the distance, the rolling mountains in the distance are looming in the clouds and mist, just like a sleeping dragon coiled above the earth.

In the morning light, the outline of the mountain is outlined with golden lines, which become brighter or darker as the light changes, just like a dream.

At the foot of the mountain, the river is rushing endlessly, and the river water is like a wild horse that has broken free from its reins, rushing forward violently. The splashing waves are refracted by the sunlight, sparkling with crystal light, like countless tiny diamonds falling on the water.

Occasionally, a few sailboats pass slowly on the river, and their white sails sway gently in the breeze, adding a bit of agility and poetry to this magnificent landscape painting.

The mist in the mountains floats slowly like a veil, sometimes condensing and sometimes dispersing, like a mysterious dancer dancing between the mountains and waters.

Where the fog is thick, the trees, flowers and plants are all covered with a hazy veil, as if you are in a fairyland.

From the distant valley, bursts of clear bird calls came, one after another, interweaving into a pleasant natural symphony.

Cheng Zongyang stood quietly on the platform, immersed in this picturesque scenery.

Time passed slowly. After a long time, Cheng Zongyang seemed to come back to his senses from deep thought and slowly said, "Yuhun."

The imperial soul that had been squatting obediently beside Cheng Zongyang seemed to be awakened and instantly became alert. It couldn't help but look up, looking straight at Cheng Zongyang with inquiry and concentration in its eyes.

Cheng Zongyang's eyes were deep and far-reaching, as if he had traveled through endless time and space, and he said softly:
“Next, it is my journey, and you should also embark on your own road of exploration, to experience this world to the fullest and perfect your Tao heart.

You and I both have a long life span. During this long life, the various aspects of the world, the seven emotions and six desires, birth, aging, illness and death are inevitable.

If we don't experience it, wouldn't it be like having endless treasures but letting them gather dust, wasting a lot of time? How boring that would be.

In this world, no matter what kind of creature it is, it is endowed by Tao with the right to survive and live. Taoism evolves, and there is a cycle of reincarnation in the dark. "

"Woof woof!" Yuhun barked twice. Was he asking me to go out into the world and experience it alone?
Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly: "That's right. With your current strength, even the best among those immortal cultivators can hardly do anything to you.

You can go anywhere in this world. One day, when we have gained unique insights and achievements in our respective journeys, we can return to the village and wait quietly. "

"Woof woof!" Yu Hun seemed to understand Cheng Zongyang's intention instantly.

It slowly stood up from its quiet squatting position and turned to go behind the mountain.

However, it would stop from time to time and turn its head to look at where Cheng Zongyang was, with a hint of reluctance in its eyes. Finally, Yuhun's agile figure gradually disappeared into the lush forest, leaving Cheng Zongyang standing alone.

He looked in the direction where Yuhun left and smiled slightly.

You need to gain enlightenment, and your soul also needs to be improved and comprehended.

The Ringwraiths and their original bodies were promoted in the Realm of All Races, while he and Yuhun were promoted in the Realm of Martial Arts.

No matter which side fails, there will be a way out.

This is the beginning of their respective pursuits of the great path, and the future is full of unknowns and expectations.

"Ringwraith." Cheng Zongyang suddenly said.

After a moment, the voice of the Ringwraith echoed in his mind: "Are you ready?"

Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly: "There is no such thing as preparation or unpreparedness. Isn't it better if everything happens just right?"

The Ringwraiths really couldn't see through this clone of Cheng Zongyang, and his words always felt a little strange. It seemed to make sense, but it didn't seem like it, but it always felt full of reason.

It didn't think much about it and asked: "Is there a definite goal? Or is it random?"

"Uncertainty is the surprise." Cheng Zongyang laughed.

The Ringwraiths immediately put their clones into the reincarnation space of the Hall of All Clans.

Through the establishment of new rules, the Ringwraiths retained their bodies, stripped their souls, sealed their memories, and only retained a part of their understanding of the Tao, but not much. Finally, they were thrown into the reincarnation.

At the moment when the clone's soul entered reincarnation, the original body came out of seclusion.

"Has the clone entered the reincarnation illusion?" Cheng Zongyang asked.

The Ringwraith said, "Inside. But does this illusion make sense? It's not like reality."

Cheng Zongyang smiled and said, "His memory was sealed and he appeared in it. If it were you, would you think this world is an illusion? For us, the biggest advantage of the reincarnation illusion is the controllability of time.

If it were in reality, one reincarnation would take nearly a hundred or a thousand years, and we don’t have that much time.

I have discussed with my clone that the illusion is only a process for him to comprehend, not a result. When he has a new understanding, it will stop, and then he will truly walk in the world. "

"Then why don't you use my spirit?" asked the Ringwraith.

Cheng Zongyang was speechless: "Yuhun is a beast, without any shackles. Everything in the outside world is enough for it to experience the world and the warmth and coldness of human feelings, as well as the improvement of its strength. The clone needs to understand everything about him and walk out of his path. It is a different direction from your divine path."

"Will this process take a long time?" asked the Ringwraith.

"A long time? What a joke!" Cheng Zongyang sneered: "With all my insights, my life's practice, my wisdom, and my invincible talent..."

Ringwraith: "...Sure enough, it's still fun to talk to someone as shameless as you. The clone is so boring."

Cheng Zongyang: “…”

……

At the same time, in the dreamlike space of the reincarnation illusion, Cheng Zongyang's clone transformed into a soul state quietly entered a completely unfamiliar world.

His consciousness gradually awakened from the chaos, as if slowly emerging from an endless abyss.

His eyes were blurry and he opened them blearily.

At this moment, his mind was blank and he could only look around timidly based on instinct.

He found himself being carefully held by a creature with a monkey face and a human body. The creature had tears in its eyes and its voice was choked with sobs and helplessness:

"Li, its birth was a mistake. We shouldn't have given birth to it."

The ape father slowly shook his head, his eyes showing a hint of firmness and determination:

"No, this is its mission. We apes must not perish because of this. Sooner or later, there will be a day when things will change. These are the words left by the priest."

Cheng Zongyang listened to their conversation with a dazed look on his face, confusion all over his young face.

He didn't understand the meaning of these words. He just felt dizzy and soon fell asleep in a daze.

Time passed quietly, and Cheng Zongyang grew very rapidly like a young bamboo in spring.

In just two years, he had grown to be over 1.7 meters tall.

Although he is still in his infancy among the apes, he has begun to have independent thinking and action capabilities of his own.

However, these two years also made him gradually understand the miserable situation of the apes.

He saw that hundreds of thousands of apes were divided into dozens of areas, like prisoners, trapped in the mountains. And it was the human race that enslaved them.

Every day, under the supervision of humans, the apes carry heavy hoes and go into the mountains to mine a black mineral.

Cheng Zongyang was no exception. After he was able to move, he followed his parents into the mountains to mine for ore every day. Although he didn't understand what they were doing, he knew that he could get food from the mines.

In that dim mine, Cheng Zongyang followed his parents to mine without knowing anything.

The ape demon clan is also extremely powerful when they grow up. Even though Cheng Zongyang is not fully grown yet, the muscles on his body are already visible.

The air in the mine was dull and oppressive, filled with a pungent smell of minerals.

The light from the torches flickered on the cave walls, casting eerie shadows.

Cheng Zongyang swung the hoe in his hand, which was disproportionate to his height, and hit the hard ore again and again, and each blow made his arm numb.

He often saw the cold eyes of the human overseers and the whips waving in their hands.

Whenever an ape slowed down or showed a hint of fatigue, the whip would fall mercilessly, leaving shocking blood marks on the ape's body.

Young Cheng Zongyang didn't understand why humans treated them like this.

Sometimes, he watched helplessly as an old ape was severely beaten by a human supervisor because of exhaustion. The old ape's painful howls echoed in the mine, filling his heart with fear and confusion.

Just like that, five years passed slowly again.

During these five years, Cheng Zongyang has made many new friends from the same ethnic group.

They worked together in the mines and communicated with each other during the short breaks. Cheng Zongyang, who loved to think, often ran to other places during breaks to ask questions and chat with other people of the same age or elders.

Of course, he also has a younger brother. That little life is like a ray of light in the darkness, bringing some warmth to Cheng Zongyang in this cold mountain.

As he grew older, Cheng Zongyang began to wonder why the apes had fallen into such a situation.

Why are there so few supervisors and why don’t people resist?
He liked to think about how to help the ape demon tribe change the current environment. He asked many elders, but almost all of them got the same answer: resistance would only lead to faster death.

One day, during a break from mining, he found an old ape man and asked him questions.

The old ape looked into the distance, his eyes revealing endless vicissitudes, and the answer he gave was:
"Child, this world is ruled by the strong. We apes are not strong enough, so we can only be enslaved by humans. This has been our fate for more than five hundred years."
