Chapter 1091 Thoughts of Comfort
Inside the small cave, thunder flashed and made a violent noise, and the rocks on both sides trembled. If Wu Yi hadn't set up a magic circle to isolate the inside and outside, I don't know how many eyes would be attracted.
The Taotie outside should have noticed the change, but when Wu Yi didn't call it, it still guarded outside and didn't overstep its bounds.
If it said that it was worried about Wu Yi and broke in, Wu Yi would have to change the Taotie's view of him.
It is common for some abnormal movements to occur during cultivation. On the contrary, if curiosity is too strong, people have to be wary of their own hearts.
Under the restraint of the dark purple thunder, the spirituality of the black lotus became weaker and weaker, like a beast with its throat strangled, and the amplitude of its struggle became weaker and weaker.
If it continues like this, the black lotus may fall apart completely. If the result is worse, it may disappear completely. For Wu Yi in the past, it may be good news, but now, it is definitely not, absolutely not!
He carefully split a clone, trying to break through the red-gold thunder encirclement outside the black lotus, but he was crushed into powder before he could last a breath. It was so brutal that Wu Yi wanted to help the black lotus but was powerless.
"Without the black lotus, this body is of little use in the upper realm. Today, there is only one way to deal with it, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire in front of me!" Wu Yi said to himself in his heart, holding back his instinctive fear of thunder, and slowly approached the red-gold thunder.
"Hiss--" Just after touching the red-gold thunder, the head of the inner demon body felt cold air, almost turning into its original form. Although the inner demon body had no pain, the pain felt by the inner demon body at this moment was more than heart-wrenching. It was the pain of facing death.
"Zizizizizi--" As he gradually went deeper into the red-gold thunder, lightning kept moving. After holding on for about ten breaths, the inner demon body turned into a diffuse black fog. Moreover, the range of the black fog was disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye. After waiting for a while, the inner demon body would be completely useless.
There was no such thing as shielding the five senses. Facing the pain of death directly was not something that ordinary people could endure. In the thunder that fell from time to time, Wu Yi opened up a way to survive with difficulty. In the end, with less than 10% of his cultivation remaining, he barely passed the red-gold thunder encirclement and entered the black lotus-transformed calamity.
If he hesitated for a few more minutes, he would probably have been dead.
Entering the black lotus calamity did not mean that Wu Yi no longer had to worry. In fact, the real test had just begun. Facing the dark purple thunder, which was more bizarre and dangerous than the red-gold thunder, it was impossible to predict what changes would happen.
However, no matter how dangerous it is, you must go deep into the tiger's den. With the calamity energy to resist the red-gold thunder outside, Wu Yi can focus on dealing with the dark purple thunder.
As mentioned before, the dark purple thunder is the opposite force of the calamity energy, and it is the force to maintain the stability of the world. In essence, it is similar to the calamity energy and is indispensable.
Speaking of which, this force, like the calamity energy, lingers in the world at all times, but if it were not for the promotion of the black lotus this time, Wu Yi would not have noticed the importance of this force at all.
It's like you have been bathing in the sun and breathing the air since you were born. Because it exists all the time, you can't imagine what changes will happen if you lose the sun and the air.
This power has stayed in the black lotus for a long time. If this power did not exist, the black lotus would have been restored to its original state long ago.
This power and the calamity energy are natural enemies of each other, just like yin and yang, coexisting but not in harmony. The black lotus cannot expel this power by itself.
Wu Yi tried to contact this power and prepared for the worst, but at first, he did not feel the repulsion he had imagined, but rather a gentle feeling that calmed his heart.
This power is the existence that maintains the stability of heaven and earth, as common as sunshine and rain, and is often accompanied by peace and stability. However, after a long period of peace, society solidifies, contradictions arise, and disasters come naturally, and then it enters a period of turmoil. After adjustments, it enters a peaceful state again.
In essence, this power is not very harmful to ordinary people, but because it restrains the disaster, such changes occur.
After the inner demon body came into contact with this power, he could not help but feel satisfied and happy. His life experience flashed through his mind, and he consciously or unconsciously ignored the difficulties and was happy with his own achievements.
This emotion cannot be said to be pride and complacency, but if you always have this emotion, you will lose the motivation to move forward.
Without statistics, it can be clearly perceived that the more wars and turmoil there are, the more rapid the progress of science and technology. When facing a crisis, people will actively look for ways to solve it, while those who are always in a comfortable state are mostly satisfied with the present and do not think about making progress.
The four words "be prepared for danger in times of peace" are simple to say, but how many people can do it from ancient times to the present?
This power comes from the origin of heaven and earth and is one of the important orders. Wu Yi cannot and will not break it with force. He can only get out of it by going deep into it and finding the flaws in it.
Before contact, Wu Yi had already told himself in his heart that comfort leads to chaos and cannot be sustained for a long time. As long as this flaw is found, he can get rid of this power.
The ideal is beautiful, but it is really difficult to operate it in practice. When you feel peace and comfort from the bottom of your heart, even if you know that you are a frog in a pot and will die as the warm water boils, you still don't want to jump out of the pot.
Except for the saints in the legend, no one is immortal. Even those mythical figures gradually fall into the abyss as one disaster after another rotates. However, some people are unknown before death, while others burst out with extremely shining light.
Since you will definitely die, why not choose a happy path? If Wu Yi had not suffered a family change in his childhood, why would he travel to another country and seek a way out surrounded by wolves? Isn't it good to enjoy the protection of his father and grandfather peacefully, not to interfere in state affairs, and be a rich man?
Who is born to choose to suffer? Who is willing to stimulate his potential if not forced to do so?
This power really penetrates people's hearts to the extreme. Saints are illusory and difficult to figure out. It is estimated that they have nothing to do with me in this life. In this case, why waste my youth and talent for an illusory purpose?
If Wu Yi chooses to return to the Cangmang Realm now and become a cultist to his wife, he can live a very happy life in the Cangmang Realm. There are countless crises in the upper realm. The slightest mistake can lead to death. It is too difficult.
