Shepherding Humanity (Nurturing Humanity)

Shushan.

Walking along the white stone stairs, you will see countless magnificent palaces on the top of the mountain and hillsides in the distance, surrounded by hazy mist and steam, which looks like a fairyland on earth.

In the main hall, Caroline saw Liu Wenjian.

This legendary figure cannot survive unless he is mad. He is the first real mortal emperor in history. In the Jianghu era, as an ordinary mortal, he broke his arm and cast a sword, and even assassinated a lot of terrifying Jianghu. The great master, the terrifying master of the fifth and sixth orders.

The ancient existence that opened the era of mortal cultivation of immortals is simply a myth.

"To see Shushan?" Liu Wenjian was a little surprised.

However, there is the mother of the earth, Qingteng, to accompany her. Obviously, she is taking this visitor from another world to visit everywhere and do the friendship of the landlord.

Afterwards, the group walked back to the mountain. The top of the mountain was the sword mound, halfway down the mountain was the sword washing pool, and then at the other end of the mountain was the sword casting furnace.

This is an extremely cruel and moving place.

The structure is like the Sword Casting Villa in Jianghu. It is full of iron and sword embryos, and various ores are scattered throughout. It can be said that it is an arsenal in the entire six realms, providing standard weapons for the army of gods from all walks of life. The disciples who want to enter Shushan must first learn to cast swords. , Here are all blacksmiths who cast swords, practicing their skills.

clang clang!

Countless people wielded iron weapons shirtless, and the furnace was scorching hot.

Practicing the forging skills, it usually takes seven or eight years of hard work, and completely becomes a well-known blacksmith, that is, casting swords with arms.

"If you want to go to Shushan to learn swordsmanship, you must first learn to forge swords, and blacksmithing skills have been around for seven or eight years. Life is unfair."

Liu Wenjian said with emotion, "Some people, with strong innate aptitude, are destined to embark on the path of cultivation, which is smooth, but more 80% of them are born without the so-called cultivation aptitude. To have extraordinary talents, they must pay thousands of times of hardships. in order to stand on an equal footing with others.”

Caroline is undeniable.

The vast extraordinary world is mostly composed of mortals.

Even in the ancient lava domain of the Three Pillars of God, there are many mortals who do not even possess the qualifications of arcane swordsmen at the lowest level, otherwise there will be no class.

"Don't you already have a body repair line?" Caroline asked.

"Physical cultivation, although it does not require bloodline qualifications, the resources that need to be consumed are too large. It is the most resource-consuming of all systems, and it is not affordable for ordinary people. Even if you cultivate a family, you may not be able to support one. two."

Liu Wenjian smiled, "So, most mortals who want to cultivate have to endure hardships, climb the towering and rugged Mount Shu, and ask the immortals to ask."

"Of course, in Shushan, after many disciples become Sword Immortals, they can earn their own training resources, and then follow the line of physical cultivation." Liu Wenjian looked at the red and burning furnace, "After all, the disciples of Shushan have no time to fight. But the lifespan is like a mortal, and repairing the body and cultivating the same vein can allow us to truly embark on the path of cultivators."

Caroline nodded, mulling over the meaning.

A lot of knowledge and details cannot be fully known in the story.

"However, an unqualified mortal needs to compete with a genius who cultivates aptitude. This is an extremely painful job. One hand stretches into the furnace alive, enduring the severe pain, swinging a hammer with the other hand, hammering and breaking through. The flesh and blood of the meridians of this arm's mortal body, so that his arm has 'qualification', and then cut it off."

Liu Wenjian's voice was flat, but everyone knew that this method was the cruelest torture in the world.

Not even one.

Put your own hands alive into the furnace?

What kind of experience is it to swing a hammer?

How to be terrifyingly determined?

After all, the story is just a story. When Caroline witnessed this scene with her own eyes, she knew how terrible these mortals were.

"So, our Shushan lineage is still thin, and every Shushan disciple has a terrifying tenacity beyond imagination. If you go deeper, they all have very sad stories before they climbed the mountain, poor people."

Liu Wenjian smiled peacefully and said, "There are clouds in the mortal world, the way of Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to ascend to the sky."

People who can go to Mount Shu are already extraordinary people, and they look down on life and death.

"However, it is also because they have experienced hardships that they can transform and know how to cherish them. Every Shushan disciple, if they don't fall in the middle, can at least reach the realm of the seventh-order Heavenly Emperor."

sky! emperor! ?

Caroline's face changed slightly.

It is no wonder that Shushan is a rapid succession.

When the war with the Demon World broke out that year, a lot of terrifying combat power emerged.

Because they have reached their state of mind, they only need various resources and treasures to accumulate on the sword, and they can ignore the slow cultivation of the realm.

After all, it is possible to quickly improve the realm of the sword with the method of forging.

And these remarks have thoroughly explained the entire arduous process of mortal cultivation, and it may be written into an epic with blood: mortal cultivating immortals.

Or the legend of Shushan Qixia.

clang!

Not far away, a middle-aged man started the final sword casting ceremony.

clang clang!

His hand stretched into the furnace alive, forging himself, with a crazy and paranoid face, like a madman, and madly swinging a sledgehammer.

Beyond Caroline's imagination, this man's face was calm and gentle, as if he could see through everything clearly, there was no pain, only determination.

clang clang!

He swung the hammer steadily.

The slightest tremor will cause the sword to fail.

He seemed to be waiting for this moment of pain, too long, too long, waiting for this moment of extreme pain, a moment of complete rebirth from the ashes.

He was waiting for his serious illness to end.

He was waiting for his disease to end.

"If you bear a thousand sins, you won't give up in practice."

Caroline's face was not calm, and she was even a little startled, "It's hard to imagine what he went through to become calm in such a madness like a madman, and wield the hammer with all his strength, as if to put all the pain away, Obsessions, like a shocking flood, poured into the forged sword."

She thought of Liu Wenjian.

Perhaps, this middle-aged man is also in a normal situation.

Crawling in front of the bones and blood, he howled and cried, hating himself for being weak, hating himself for being powerless, and hating his family for being destroyed.

Weakness is sickness.

He was waiting for his own serious illness.

Shushan, speaking of a mortal man's inverse character, he walks against the sky and walks against himself.

"Shushan, gathers the trillions of people in the entire six realms who have suffered hardships in life, the most grief-stricken, and the most determined people, pour their souls into them, use their own souls, their own flesh and blood, their own body and mind, and they are as cruel as a flood. Incorporated into the sword, the arm is also a kind of soul and flesh unity."

Caroline's eyes burst brightly, as if she understood something,

No wonder, Shushan's broken arm cannot be reborn with any method and means.

Because they merged the soul of the arm into the sword, cut off the first part of their soul, and formed some kind of unity of flesh and blood on the arm.

This is the Shushan disciple.

No matter how strong his cultivation base is, even if he steps into the realm of the eighth-order gods like Liu Wenjian and becomes a great being reborn from a high degree of flesh and blood, he can only maintain the truth of his broken arm and incompleteness.

The body is incomplete and never complete.

Because a part of his soul has been completely cut off and integrated into the flesh and blood of his arm, turning it into a sword.

Mengmei shuddered when she heard Caroline's explanation, "The mystery of Shushan's eternal broken arm, even if the head of Shushan can only be a habit of breaking his sleeves, the truth of this mystery is not the loss of morality!?"

Perfect and fit now!

Perfectly revealed!

It turns out that this is a weakened version to some extent, and the soul and flesh are one.

Before, there was not enough knowledge to understand this strange phenomenon at all, and now I understand.

It seems that in the world, everything for the ninth-order pursuit and deduction points to the same end point.

"Knowledge is all power."

Mengmei suddenly remembered what Hermes said when he described the truth:

Until then, all the obscurity in the world will disappear from you!

At this moment, she was so excited that she trembled and almost lost her voice. She was completely convinced by the legendary Hermes. It turned out that the knowledge of everything was already by her side.

She suddenly remembered another sentence:

There is no shortage of beauty in the world, but the lack of vision to discover beauty.

"This is Hermes, everything He wants to tell us, and the answer to the mystery that actually gives us the answer is already on Mount Shu."

Caroline was also completely shocked and came to this world. Only then did she know the mood of Mengmei and others, Hermes' terrifying and mysterious effect on this world, and the terrifying effect of advancing civilization.

But after all, she is not an ordinary person. After pondering for a while, she was still thinking:

"The path of soul and flesh of the ninth order may refer to the Shumen. First of all, it is necessary to refine the heart of the red dust, like their inner pain, astonishing will and determination, create a furnace of heaven and earth, put yourself in it, and forge it with terrifying high pressure. environment, speed up the fusion of one's soul and flesh, speed up the process of polishing one hundred trillion cells, and the fusion speed of each cell!"

Like a disciple of Shushan.

Use the furnace to speed up the fusion of oneself, and mercilessly integrate all the will and emotions of one's soul into the body.

"If you want to transform into a god, first transform into a mortal." When Caroline thought of this, it seemed that thunder exploded in her mind for a moment, and a smooth road appeared in front of her, "Let's go to Shushan first."

So, Caroline looked at the Sword Casting Furnace, then turned her head to look at the entire Shushan Mountain outside, and asked seriously, "I am here for a trip, can I also worship Shushan, from a Disciple learn?"

Worship in Shushan?

Liu Wenjian was stunned.

People from the Shushan lineage, qualified practitioners, never come to practice. This is the most extreme way opened up by mortals. Who is idle and has nothing to do?

Moreover, even if it reaches the gods, it cannot be recovered.

If there were other options, no one would choose to be so painful and so crippled.

This is not a system worth learning, even other practitioners will not be like physical cultivation, and also cultivate the sword immortal lineage.

"It's not about cultivating Shushan's sword skills, but learning about Shushan's sword spirit and determination to enter the Taoist practice here." Caroline said seriously, "This is where the ninth-order road is honed, I think I'll understand. Some."

Liu Wenjian was dumbfounded and could only nod his head.

Caroline also declared herself a cultivation base, and began to study like an ordinary person, and re-experienced all the hardships of the cultivation path.

Soon after, in less than a short period of time, the news here was spread by the mother of the earth, Qingteng.

The entire Six Realms became a sensation because of this, and this terrifying fact was simply unbelievable.

"Another ancient mystery unraveled?"

"As early as the very ancient times, as Bai Xiaosheng, he had already told the world, the two concepts of the ninth order? Using the Hu Rennong and Liu Wenjian taught back then?"

"This?. How amazing is this! A previous historical dialogue told the mentality leading to the ninth order, and then told the two concepts of the ninth order?"

"Shushan's lineage, the unity of soul and flesh, may be the inspiration for the ninth-order road!?"

"No, no, Shushan's road, the general direction is right, but the small direction is ridiculously wrong, they treat this arm as a whole into the soul, as a big iron plate, not as a billions of cell arms, splitting the soul , separate and precisely integrated into each place.”

"Yeah, not precise enough."

"But it is also inevitable. As a starting practice in a very low realm, how can it be so delicate? It must be the arm as a whole piece and the soul of the whole arm."

"However, the cultivation path after Shushan has also appeared."

"Indeed, Liu Wenjian will also rebuild the Shushan Sword Canon, break through the gods' sword immortals, and then refine his own swords again, turning them into swords with tens of trillions of cells."

"Take the sword as one side of the world," Shushan Jianxian's lineage points directly to the ninth order of the avenue! It can be practiced to the ninth level! "

"However, Liu Wenjian is already a middle-level deity, and their cultivation path coincides with the ninth-order. I'm afraid that once they break through the higher gods in the future, the integration progress on the ninth-order road will be countless times faster than ours."

In an instant, the gods of the entire Six Realms were moved.

There were violent waves in their hearts. At this moment, they were almost speechless to express the shock in their hearts, and they deeply felt the feeling that a terrifying ancient supreme existence left everything for them before they died. , everything seems to have already been conceived, and it has already been placed in front of you, teaching the mortals on the ground behind your back.

"Hermes."

Countless powerful beings turned their heads in vain, looking in a certain direction in the dark.

They were originally practicing in retreat, but at this time, they already felt that the place where they retreated and practiced should be changed to another venue.

less than a few days.

At the foot of the mountain of Shushan, there were more than a dozen ordinary people who were sealed with divine power and slowly climbed up the mountain to ask for immortality.

They pursued the answer left by Hermes.

If you want to transform the gods, first transform the mortal.

The gods entered Shushan.

Cold winter.

In the orchard in the countryside of Dongcheng, Xu Zhi left the cellar.

He looked at the ancient world where the four seasons were like spring, everything that happened on Shushan, and his eyes turned back again.

He continued to rearrange everything and frame everything in the study.

In his opinion, this will be the origin of his new world, the crystal wall system world.

Although there is not a big requirement for the location of the soul world, Xu Zhi still wants to make the environment better, after all, it is similar to a computer room.

"It seems that I have to start to conceive and start planning the process of the new world." Xu Zhi whispered.

After all, a world starts from nothing, even if it is the first bud, it has to go through many polishing and stages.
