Am I the only one who didn't ascend?

Wang Luo's question did not receive a direct answer.

Yi Ming just led him all the way to the Taiqing Palace. Obviously the answer was there.

Along the way, Wang Luo saw several more descendants of the saint. Their figures and appearance were slightly different from those of Yi Ming and Yi Qing, and their personalities were even more different. When they saw the patriarch returning, and bringing men with him, there was nothing wrong with them. Out of curiosity, he just nodded politely to the visitor, and then went back to his own business.

But in general, this place is indeed depopulated. The few wooden houses outside the palace seem to accommodate more than ten people at most. The hall was even more lifeless. The Taiqing Hall's own magical formations made the hall spotless inside and out, as if it were a student dormitory that was about to be inspected by the leaders. It looked bright on the outside, but was uninhabitable.

And as he gradually went deeper into the Taiqing Palace, Wang Luo felt more and more that there was an unpleasant cold atmosphere here, as if it was deliberately repelling the approach of all living creatures.

But on the other hand, the palace was full of spiritual energy. After simply walking in it for a while, Wang Luo felt that the golden elixir and Yuanying in the palace began to become active.

The spiritual energy here is not more powerful and abundant than the big cities under the rule of the Immortal Alliance today, but it is different in quality. To use a food metaphor, the aura of downtown Rongcheng is like a well-stocked construction site lunch box, while the aura of the academy is like a street fry-up filled with regular customers. As for the spiritual energy in the Taiqing Palace, the guarantee is that Lao Hong fried the shrimps and dates himself on Xiangshan Road in Shijie Street.

The quantity may be almost the same, but the happiness is vastly different. For those who have no intention of furthering their studies in the Immortal Way, it may be enough to have enough control. Anyway, people whose talents are at the bottom line can still condense elixirs after practicing according to mature routines for more than ten years. But people like Wang Luo, who have been aiming to ascend since they can remember, must pay serious attention.

It's not that you can't ascend by eating a box lunch, but it's definitely not as good as fried shrimps and dates. What's more, at this time, Wang Luo was just walking along the promenade of Taiqing Palace, and didn't go deep into the real paradise of cave heaven, where there should be a taste of the human world.

In the old immortal calendar era, Taiqing Sect was a behemoth whose status was second only to Lingshan, but its scale was a hundred times greater. The sect's reserves of various resources were in no way inferior to Lingshan's, and there were even more blessings for cultivation.

However, the abundance of spiritual energy in the temple and the yin energy that kept away all living things constituted a very sharp contrast. The Taiqing Sect is not one of the three sects of the Demonic Dao such as the Netherworld Dao, so why does it have this biting Yin Qi?

Yi Ming also did not answer this question directly, but just took Wang Luo to the side hall on the first floor.

There is an oval-shaped pond in the hall. The green water in the pond is quiet and endless, as if it reaches the evil earth.

The moment he stepped into the side hall, Wang Luo once again felt a flash of fragments in his mind, like a spiritual light or a reverberation...

At this time, Yi Ming finally began to reveal the answer to the mystery: "This is the place where every member of the Yi family was born. Before, Lord of the Mountain, you asked if we were created, you should tell me, yes."

While speaking, Yi Ming took two steps forward, knelt down beside the pool, reached out and scooped up a handful of water. The water looks clear and light, but when it falls into one's hands, it is as thick as honey. The emerald-like luster can be seen through the sunlight coming from the patio of the side hall.

The next moment, the water in Yi Ming's palm suddenly came alive, surging and condensing into the shape of a little person. The little person looked like a slim girl, dancing lightly in her palm, and then raised her skirt and saluted to the audience. With a splash, it dispersed into clear water and flowed through the fingers.

Wang Luo thought thoughtfully: "Is this the process of creating humans?"

Yi Ming shook her head: "It's just a simple demonstration. If you really want to reproduce, you need to integrate your own flesh and blood, true energy, spiritual thoughts, and sincere wishes into the pool water."

"desire?"

"Well, what kind of person do you want your daughter to be? Lively, restrained, or deviant? Although it is impossible to completely achieve your wishes, the mother's wishes still have a great influence. Yi Qing's child is her mother Yi As a result of Wei accidentally becoming distracted while creating a human being, she became the only case of her family running away from home in hundreds of years.”

"When you create humans, can you only create daughters?"

Yi Ming smiled: "Yes, and no matter how you wish, the children conceived in the pool will always be similar to their ancestors. In the final analysis, the base material for the creation of humans is provided by this pool, and what we add is just a little embellishment That’s all.”

Wang Luo walked to the pool, looked at the water again, and couldn't help but feel something in his heart: "Has this pool existed since ancient times?"

Yi Ming said: "Strictly speaking, Taiqing Sect's Rebirth Pool has existed since ancient times. Every saint of Taiqing Sect must be baptized in the pool before she can bear the Taiqing Dharma. The so-called Taiqing Dharma is actually Taiqing's Dharma. Temple. The reason why the saint is a saint is that she can carry the foundation of the sect on her back and make the Taiqing Temple come alive. Therefore, although the saint herself does not have the magical power of an immortal, she does not have the magical power of an immortal. It is no different than banishing an immortal to the human world, so his status is actually higher than that of the sect leader."

This was new knowledge that even Wang Luo didn't know beforehand. For a moment, he could only sigh with emotion at the amazing magical powers of the great sects of the old world.

"But the Rebirth Pond of Taiqing Sect has dried up when the Heavenly Court fell and the Heavenly Dao became a wasteland. The pond in front of the mountain master is the Jingyi Pond that was rebuilt by the ancestor Saint Yi Yi with the help of her benefactors. It has been passed down from a thousand years ago to the present day. And its effect is also very different from the past Rebirth Pond. The Rebirth Pond is to impose the inheritance of Taiqing Sect for ten thousand years on one person. The Tao is tied to people and they are considered immortals. This is the concept of Taiqing when it was founded. And those who are chosen to be immortals can have countless layers of Taiqing imprints on their bodies as long as they bathe in the pool. Each layer of imprints records the history of Taiqing Sect. However, after the heavenly calamity, Taiqing Sect no longer exists in the world, so the only one who is closest to the concept of Taiqing Sect in the world is Saint Yi Yi herself. At the same time, it is even more impossible to find a new Saint who can bear the rebirth bath in the land of Jiuzhou, so the only way is to regard the Saint as Taiqing itself and pass it down from generation to generation."

Wang Luo nodded slowly when he heard this to show his understanding.

In simple terms, the Mahayana Taiqing is gone, leaving only the Hinayana Taiqing, and this Jingyi Pool is where the Hinayana Taiqing lives and reproduces.

Yi Ming chuckled and said, "The mountain master understood it very quickly. Although it is not completely accurate, the general meaning is correct."

Then the question is: Is it necessary?

After the heavenly calamity, many sects lost their Taoist traditions, and even Lingshan was sealed by Lu Zhiyao herself. What virtue and ability did the Taiqing Sect have to continue its Taoist tradition in such an extreme situation?

Although the details of this place are not yet known, it is not difficult to judge that there must be something evil behind this Jingyi Pool just from what I see and feel personally. Considering that the benefactor Yi Ming mentioned must be Lu Zhiyao...

Just when Wang Luo's mind was in a mess, Yi Ming said again: "Mountain Master, the answer you want, like the backup of the Moon Tablet left by the Saint, is in the deepest part of the Taiqing Palace... and the Jingyi Pool is the shortcut to the deepest part."

The next moment, without waiting for Yi Ming to say more, Wang Luo had already stepped into the pool.

In an instant, everything turned upside down.
