Chapter 248 Self-Take
An ancient stone tablet stands on the top of the mountain. The huge body of the tablet reaches into the sky and connects to the Dan River. The people under the tablet seem as small as ants.
The Lord of the Desolate Palace, Chen Zhen, descended from the sky and came in front of the few people. He first looked at Mu Zi in surprise, then smiled and said:
"It's almost time, go get ready."
"Remember, don't force it. This kind of martial arts depends on chance and cannot be forced." Chen Zhen said in a deep voice.
These words were mainly said to Pang Tong and the other three. As for Lin Dong and Mu Zi, there was a great hope that they would succeed in their comprehension, so he didn't need to worry too much.
Lin Dong raised his head and looked up at the ancient stone tablet, a fiery look in his eyes.
He has been in Dao Sect for some time, and like other people in Dao Sect, he has some understanding of the legend of the Great Desolate Sutra.
Of course, Lin Dong longed for such a powerful martial art.
Although this won't allow him to surpass Mu Zi, it's also a good way to improve his own strength.
In the blink of an eye, several figures appeared in front of the Great Desolation Monument, sitting cross-legged on the green rocks at the edge of the cliff, waiting for the monument to be opened.
Mu Zi sat in front of the stone tablet, looking at the figures on the green rock, and fell into deep thought.
This time she came to comprehend the Great Desolate Sutra, and she did not replace anyone else's quota. In fact, there was no limit on the number of people who could comprehend the Great Desolate Sutra.
As long as the Great Desolate Monument does not mind the trouble, it can easily pull all of Dao Sect's disciples into the space inside the monument.
However, this does not make much sense, because whether or not one can obtain the Great Desolate Sutra basically depends on the will of the stele spirit, rather than the so-called enlightenment.
If the stele spirit wants to give, then it will be able to realize success. If it does not want to give, then it is not destined to be there.
In fact, almost all those who are qualified to comprehend do not have that kind of fate.
Over the past hundred years, the Great Desolate Monument has been opened many times, and many people have tried to comprehend it, but only Zhou Tong succeeded in obtaining the Great Desolate Sutra from the spirit of the monument.
Zhou Tong was able to succeed because he possessed the ancestral talisman of space, and had the hope of helping the Great Desolate Monument to eliminate the alien demon king suppressed in the monument. Others, even if their talents were not inferior to Zhou Tong, would probably not be able to obtain the Great Desolate Sutra from the monument spirit.
Whether or not one can obtain the Great Desolate Sutra is already determined before one begins to comprehend it.
As the controller of the Devouring Ancestral Talisman, Lin Dong also possesses many opportunities such as the Ancestral Stone and the Qiankun Ancient Formation. It would not be surprising for him to comprehend the Great Desolate Sutra.
In fact, if Ying Huanhuan also tried to comprehend it, she would most likely succeed.
After all, she is the reincarnation of the Ice Lord, and the Great Desolate Monument must give her some respect. Moreover, once the Ice Lord awakens, he can easily wipe out the demons in the monument.
Even though Mu Zi himself is also a "reincarnator", it is hard to say whether the Great Desolate Monument recognizes him or not.
Buzz!
While Mu Zi was thinking, the Great Desolate Monument began to tremble slightly, and then dark yellow rays of light shot out from the monument, covering the people in front of the monument.
The moment the light enveloped them, Lin Dong and the others' bodies trembled suddenly, and they felt an irresistible suction force surging out from the surface of the stele, sucking their consciousness into the ancient stele.
When their consciousness entered the Great Desolate Monument, the light around them began to shrink, and after a moment it formed several beams of light that enveloped them.
However, surprisingly, there were only five beams of light above Qingyan, and there were six people on it.
Everyone looked at Mu Zi, the only person not covered by the light column, their eyes filled with confusion.
What's happening here?
Mu Zi's eyes fluctuated, and he felt the suction coming from the stele, as if thinking about something.
To comprehend the Great Desolate Sutra, one needs to enter the Great Desolate Monument with a spiritual body. The suction force will act on the spiritual body, drawing it into the space of the Great Desolate Monument.
However, the spiritual power in Mu Zi's body had merged with the elemental power to form a higher energy, which the Great Desolate Monument could no longer absorb.
Understanding the problem, Mu Zi's mind moved, and a wave came from the Hunyuan Tianfu in the Niwan Palace, and the Yuanli and mental power in her body began to separate.
The next moment, a beam of light emerged outside Mu Zi's body, and then her spirit body entered the monument.
After entering the Great Desolate Monument, what appeared before your eyes was a gray sky and an endless gray-yellow earth. There were occasional dead grasses on the earth, but they had no vitality. With just a slight touch, the dead grass would turn into powder and float away.
A dead silence of desolation.
Mu Zi stood on the ground, his senses diffused, seeping into the ground, and then continued to go deeper, carefully sensing the possible fluctuations. However, after a long time, he still found nothing, as if this place was nothing but a dead desert.
"barren."
Mu Zi's eyes were as calm as usual, without a ripple due to the failure of perception. If desolation was so easy to perceive, then she would doubt whether this "Great Desolation Sutra" was worthy of its name.
After a brief pause, Mu Zi sat down cross-legged on the spot. The next moment, a special wave spread out from her body. The wave was full of vitality and merged into the area below bit by bit.
Underneath Mu Zi, the barren ground began to change. With the influx of vitality, the dead grass began to turn green, and the withered flowers gradually filled up and then bloomed.
Not only that, around Mu Zi, tiny sprouts emerged from the ground and grew at a speed visible to the naked eye. They soon grew into plants with lush branches and leaves, with the ends dotted with flower buds that were about to bloom.
In the blink of an eye, the flower buds blossomed into bright flowers, creating a colorful sea of flowers on the barren land.
As Mu Zi activated the state of life, a vitality was injected into the desolate space. At the same time, the fluctuations hidden deep under the ground seemed to be aroused and began to become active.
Mu Zi released his perception, like an invisible net, capturing those subtle fluctuations and feeling the subtlety in them.
"Ok?"
Mu Zi opened her eyes, a thoughtful look flashing across them.
From the desolate fluctuations, she felt a familiar breath, which was somewhat similar to the desolate energy in her body.
The old man with black pupils once said that the Great Desolate King had comprehended the desolate meaning of the Great Desolate Monument, felt the great power of the Great Desolate Ancestral Talisman, and realized his own martial arts realm from it.
The meaning of great wilderness and the meaning of desolation have the same origin, so their fluctuations naturally have similarities as well as differences.
The meaning of the wilderness acts on the physical body, which has the effect of refining the body, and at the same time has a considerable attack power; while the meaning of desolation can absorb the vitality of the creatures in the earth, gather the energy, and thus burst out with powerful power.
Mu Zi had also comprehended the meaning of the Great Wilderness and was familiar with its characteristics. With such a foundation, she could more easily feel the meaning of desolation that shared the same origin with it.
Just like that, Mu Zi sat there, meditating quietly.
The artistic conception of life caused fluctuations in the earth, and the meaning of the wilderness assisted in comprehending the breath of desolation. With these two approaches working together, Mu Zi's understanding deepened rapidly.
half a month later.
Mu Zi opened her eyes and slowly stood up from the ground. A familiar wave spread out from her body, exactly the same as the wave in the earth.
"The meaning of desolation."
Mu Zi's mind moved slightly, and the sense of desolation merged into the earth, and then spread out. A force surged out of the earth, rushed out of the surface, and formed a beam of energy light in front of Mu Zi.
Mu Zi looked at the beam of light, feeling the energy fluctuations within it, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The core of martial arts like the Great Desolate Sutra is the sense of desolation contained therein. The rest are nothing more than some means of activation and are not very important.
Zhou Tong and Lin Dong in the original novel did not truly comprehend the meaning of desolation, so they needed to receive the inheritance empowerment from the Great Desolation Monument before they could have the ability to practice the Great Desolation Sutra.
Since they had not comprehended the meaning of desolation, even if the two of them wanted to pass on the Great Desolation Sutra to others, they could not do it easily.
Because of this, the powerful Tianwu School created by the Great Desolation Monument has not spread widely.
Mu Zi has already realized the meaning of desolation, so even if she fails to obtain the Great Desolation Sutra, she can still possess similar means.
There was no need to rely on the Great Desolation Monument, she took it on her own.
Mu Zi looked at the endless barren land, her eyes fluctuating slightly.
"It seems we can leave now."
At this moment, before Mu Zi could make any move, a ray of light suddenly appeared from nothingness, swept past, and her figure disappeared on the spot.
Click click click.
After Mu Zi's figure disappeared, the ground began to tremble violently, cracks appeared one after another, and finally, this desolate world completely collapsed.
