Chapter 1159 Taowu Makes Things Difficult
As the black lotus separated by Wu Yi continued to grow, some subtle changes were also taking place in this magic array.
The Four Evils Array was originally set up by a powerful person to prevent the growth of the Great Ji Dynasty.
The great array covered the entire Western Land. There were no more than five forces with such power and energy in the upper realm.
Of course, Wu Yi was more inclined to believe that this magic array was not set up by one person or one sect, but by the entire Taoist group.
After rescuing Taotie, a Taoist priest came to talk to Wu Yi. At that time, he felt that the other party's words were strange. Now thinking back, many places have explanations.
This array collects the calamity energy from all directions. Over the years, it has become a part of the upper realm. Even the four great beasts that were not originally from the upper realm are also related to the fate of the upper realm.
Wu Yi separated this black lotus to cut off the root of Taowu. If he did not leave this array, it would be no different from self-exile to the ruins.
Wu Yi did not have to wait for long. When the separated black lotus grew to be similar to the main body of the black lotus, the time and space in the center of the magic circle twisted, and a strange scene was about to appear, like a candle flame hit by wind and rain, with uncertain light and dark, adding a bit of weirdness.
A majestic aura emerged from the inside. It is better to describe it as resentment and death, although the latter also belongs to the broad category of aura.
Taowu wrapped the aura into another time and space, so that even if an outsider accidentally entered this place, he might leave on his own.
If Wu Yi was caught up by the Golden Dragon of Luck and accidentally discovered the magic circle where Taowu lived, he would certainly regard it as a place abandoned by his predecessors and would not investigate it further.
And the place where the Chaos Beast lived, with flowers in clusters and hundreds of spirits walking, was obviously a place where cultivators lived. Although the Chaos Beast itself had extraordinary concealment methods, Wu Yi could not leave just like that.
With the arrival of the Taowu beast, the separation between time and space began to be bridged to a certain extent, and the spiritual energy surged out, reshaping the land that had originally become a barren land, and reappearing vitality.
The Tao is everywhere, it is nothing, but the spiritual energy is the carrier of the Tao. The stronger the spiritual energy, the more obvious and sufficient the Tao is. It is extremely difficult to comprehend the mystery of the Tao in a place without spiritual energy or even mixed energy.
Taowu came out of his own "little attic". Wu Yi looked up and saw that he was handsome, like a tiger, and like a thunder leopard. Is it a variant of the two? It can't be said that it is a strange beast! If it can be explained clearly, it is still a strange beast.
The scriptures say that Taowu has a human face, but from Wu Yi's observation, it is not the case. It can only be said that the face is a little white. I can't think of why the person who recorded it at the time wrote this.
What impressed Wu Yi the most about Taowu was his deep eyes, and observing the other's pupils was also Wu Yi's habit.
Through a pair of eyes, you can see many things, especially the heart, kindness or fierceness, it is difficult to hide through the eyes. After seeing the eyes, some conversations are actually unnecessary.
Taowu's eyes seemed to contain an abyss, which gave Wu Yi a sense of déjà vu of the netherworld eyes at first, but after staring at each other for a long time, it seemed to contain the movement and flow of the entire starry sky, countless worlds rose and fell in it, and all spirits lived and multiplied in it.
While staring at each other, Wu Yi was somewhat surprised to find that the endless starry sky between the pupils of Taowu divine beast collapsed inexplicably, and boundless pressure pressed on Wu Yi's heart. There was no limit. The more you insisted, the more you felt powerless and insignificant. How powerful is your own power? Can you be better than the entire starry sky?
Taowu used this to test Wu Yi's strength. He wanted to know Wu Yi's ambition. A person with great ambition could even conquer this interstellar space. Even if he only thought about it in his heart, some newborn calves could do it. On the contrary, the more he knew about this world, the more cautious and timid he would be.
This test was extremely unfriendly to Wu Yi, but the other party had already asked the question, and Wu Yi had no way out.
Taowu looked at Wu Yi for a long time without saying a word, and his eyes gradually became fierce and sharp. Chaos beast didn't know the effect of the black lotus separated by Wu Yi on Taowu, so he was confused. Taowu's sudden departure before made him inexplicably confused, and now he is still confused.
Chaos beast sometimes looked at Wu Yi, and sometimes looked at Taowu beast, and didn't know what happened, so he could only be a spectator.
The endless starry sky collapsed, creating a huge black hole that could not be seen at a glance. Everything around, ordinary things, including hard objects such as stone, gold and iron, and even light, which was out of reach, could not escape. The closer to the black hole, the darker it was. Not only was the light swallowed up, but even the temperature was taken away.
Therefore, cold and darkness, in many cases, are really synonymous and go hand in hand.
The black hole continued to expand, like a giant beast that would never be full, constantly expanding in all directions, swallowing all spirits, distorting time and space, and no force could stop this brute force.
Wu Yi knew that this was an illusion created by Taowu to create a sense of oppression for his soul. For himself, ignoring it would be false.
However, this scene was extremely real. In front of such a great power of heaven and earth, it didn't matter if you practiced for thousands of years, or even tens of thousands of years, it was still a fate.
Wu Yi seemed to be an insider, but also an outsider, somewhat lost between truth and falsehood.
The black hole continued to expand, perhaps ten thousand years had passed, or perhaps only a moment had passed. In short, Wu Yi did not resist at all, and let the black hole swallow him. Since it was fake, he ignored it, and it was really fake. If he took it seriously, it was real.
The black hole did not hurt Wu Yi at all, even though the endless silence and coldness were so realistic. However, this black hole, in the final analysis, was a kind of change. With change, there was calamity. If it was really such a great power, the calamity lingering in the world was completely predictable. How crazy it was, how could Wu Yi not see it.
When Wu Yi sensed the light again, what he saw was the various forms of the mortal world, peddlers, kings, princes, and generals. Everyone was in their own position, doing things related to or unrelated to their profession.
On the surface, it seems a peaceful scene, but like everything in the world, beneath the surface, there are plenty of shady dealings. The shady dealings of some people have embezzled gold and silver from the national treasury; the shady dealings of some people have funded foreign barbarians; the shady dealings of some people have corrupted the generals in the army, leaving the soldiers and civilians at the bottom with no way to survive.
