Chapter 128 True Spirit
Southern Wilderness.

I saw a black gas fleeing rapidly in front, followed closely by three streams of green, red and yellow energy.

Jiao Ming stood on the ground, raised his head and frowned:

He was wondering why Luohu's strength in this life was so poor?

He was able to tie with the combined forces of the three ancestors in the previous life, but this forced the three ancestors to withstand his threats and continue to intensify the intensity of the war among the three tribes, in an attempt to send more heads to each other and thus gain stronger power.

But the more the three ancestors fought like this, the stronger Luohu became. Even after reaching the quasi-saint stage, Luohu could still fight three at once!

However, in this life, Luohou could only fight one person. Although his strength was still not low, compared with his previous life's ferocious power, it was undoubtedly a big step down...

"do you know?"

Jiao Ming suddenly turned around and asked Hongjun.

"what do you know?"

Hongjun said anxiously:
"I just know that if I don't take action, Luo Hou will be gone!"

Jiao Ming looked at him strangely, and his guess became more certain:
This old guy must have some relationship with Luohou!
"I hope that after this battle, you can tell me all the secrets."

Jiao Ming said slowly that his intelligence was too poor. After two lifetimes of hard work, he still didn't understand Luohou's secret.

He himself was completely clueless as to the secret of the Third Ancestor's bloodline's enlightenment. He only knew that the death of his bloodline descendants could increase the ancestor's cultivation, but he was basically clueless about the specific principles.

As for Hongjun, this old man definitely knows everything, but he keeps hiding it...

Today is an opportunity, an opportunity to force him to reveal everything!

"..."

Hongjun was silent for a while, but finally sighed and nodded:

"it is good."

"Row!"

After getting the response he wanted, Jiao Ming smiled slightly and held the flame in his hand.

boom!
The Golden Crow True Fire, which was as bright as a second sun, suddenly surged.

Driven by the peak Daluo cultivation, the upper limit of the power that can be unleashed by the origin fire of the Golden Crow Emperor, who is at the peak of the quasi-saint level, is even more powerful than most innate spiritual treasures!

Flames shot up into the sky, forcibly stopping the three-colored air that was chasing the black air.

Seeing that there was no way out, the three Yuan Qis could only retreat in anger...

As for running down to fight with Jiao Ming?

Can't do it.

The six people present are all at the Daluo level. If they fight, it will be a 50-50 fight at best. There is no need to fight at all.

The quasi-saint stage is the moment that truly decides life and death!

This time, the siege on Luohou failed, so it can only fail...

Seeing that Jiao Ming forced the three ancestors away, the black gas naturally fell down, but it did not fall to the ground and turn into Luohou, but fell directly on Hongjun's head!
Under Jiao Ming's shocked gaze, the black gas easily merged into Hongjun's body, and Hongjun did not make any reaction. What this meant was self-evident.

For a moment, Jiao Ming's expression became complicated, and he looked at Hongjun as if he was meeting him for the first time in his life...

"..."

Hongjun understood Jiao Ming's gaze, but he said nothing more, only sighed softly:
"I won't break my promise. I will tell you everything I need to tell you..."

……

[The strange sight of Luohou merging into Hongjun's body shocked you greatly. Although you have always suspected that there is a relationship between them, you never thought that they are actually the same person...]

[After returning to the small volcano, in front of your complicated gaze, Hongjun first silently organized his words, and then asked you a question.]

[“Do you know what is the principle of enlightening living beings with wisdom?”]

[You were stunned by this question, because it was completely unrelated to what you wanted to ask him. Did Hongjun want to change the subject? ]

[You have some doubts, but still decide to follow his lead, so you start to think about it, and the result of your careful thinking is...]

【"I have no idea."】

[Your answer is very natural, because you really don't know. You have never understood this question, and you have never even cared about it. It seems that it is a natural thing for blood to enlighten living beings.]

[But Hongjun said: "Then let me tell you, the so-called enlightenment of spiritual wisdom is essentially to grant spirituality to wild beasts. I call it true spirit!"]

[True spirit, this concept came into your mind for the first time.] [Hongjun slowly explained the "true spirit": the so-called true spirit is the real and indelible spirituality. The reason why living beings have wisdom and can practice is because they have true spirits.]

【Since the beginning of the universe, only a very small number of creatures have complete true spirits. The rest of the creatures have only incomplete spirituality, which is only enough to support their most basic thinking activities and the most superficial spiritual breathing.】

[So, no matter how long the wild beasts live, they will never be able to achieve great success...]

[Hearing this, you suddenly remembered what you saw when you just hatched: those brainless fellows were obviously much older than you. Logically speaking, even if they were just simply breathing in spiritual energy, they would definitely be able to achieve a lot.]

[If we really compare our cultivation, I have only practiced hard for a few days, and I am already invincible in the Little Volcano! ]

[I was very confused at first, but after listening to Hongjun's words, I finally understood the truth: I have a complete true spirit, but they don't! ]

[Hongjun continued: Therefore, the True Spirit is both the spiritual wisdom itself and the foundation of cultivation. These two characteristics are the basic attributes of the True Spirit.]

[The three ancestors' method of achieving enlightenment through bloodline is essentially to utilize the two basic properties of the true spirit: the true spirit is the spiritual wisdom itself, so it has likes and dislikes. It will naturally be close to its own ancestors and naturally hate those who kill it.]

[When a living being dies, the true spirit will spontaneously look for the ancestor that it is close to. If the ancestor is the one who killed it, the true spirit will not go because of disgust, and will eventually choose to wander between heaven and earth. ]

[That’s why the three ancestors kept sending their descendants to death, but they didn’t dare to do it themselves, because it would make the true spirits of all living beings disgusted and not look for them.]

[As for what the Third Ancestor wants these true spirits for? That involves the second basic attribute of the true spirit: cultivation! ]

[The true spirit itself was born for cultivation, and the essence of cultivation is to gather and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so the true spirit will spontaneously gather and refine the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and finally return it to the ancestor. ]

[Although the effect of a single True Spirit's cultivation is not strong, if there are enough of them, the results will be considerable! ]

[The Third Ancestor used the characteristics of these two true spirits and constantly sent his descendants to die. After their death, their true spirits returned to the Ancestor. Because they were indelible, they would serve the Ancestor as Palus for eternity...]

[“So, the so-called method of achieving enlightenment through blood is based on this principle.”]

[Hongjun said in a heavy tone: The reason why I don’t want you to take this path is that I don’t want you to exploit those innocent true spirits forever.]

[After hearing this, you were stunned for a moment, and then asked him in horror: "My blood descendant's true spirit will also be enslaved by me for eternity like this?!"]

[Hongjun nodded slowly, and then opened the "True Spirit Eye" for you...]

[You open your eyes, and the other side of the world is revealed to you for the first time: there are countless twinkling points of light, their number is counted in billions, and these billions of tiny points of light are tightly embracing you, as if they are approaching their father.]

[Your Three Flowers and Five Qi were cultivating on their own, and you sensed your father's cultivation, so the true spirit light spots flickered slightly, and every time they flickered, a large amount of pure mana was obtained by you through the cultivation of the Three Flowers and Five Qi, but you were unaware of it and thought it was your own hard work, and then you were complacent...]

[After realizing all this, you suddenly felt terrified, looking at the bloodline true spirits hugging you tightly, their light spots gradually transformed into living children one after another in your eyes.]

[They were ignorant when you gave them true spirits, then became lively and cute in their youth, then became passionate in their adulthood... and then died in the battlefield with tragic cries and deathly silence...]

[Their entire lives passed by in your eyes, vividly, until they all died... Only the light points of their true spirits remained as the only traces of their existence. However, even if only their true spirits were left, they still cultivated for you free of charge, day after day, year after year, without end...]

【"I……"】

【You feel your whole body trembling, and you seem to be crying. 】

[You are grieving for all true spirits, for all blood descendants...]

"I don't want to enslave them!"

[You looked at Hongjun with red eyes, as if you were threatening him, but also as if you were begging him.]

[“But they are indeed enslaved by you.”]

[Hongjun said softly.]

[“How can we save them!”]

【“No way.”】

[Hongjun closed his eyes: "They have no consciousness, and cannot be resurrected. They will only come to you based on instinct... You cannot drive them away, and even if you drive them away, they will come back..."]

【You suddenly asked: "What if I die?"】

[Hongjun opened his eyes, hesitating for a moment, and said: "They will float away between heaven and earth... It can be considered a liberation."]

[“I will die with the Third Ancestor!”]

[You didn't hesitate at all, because you were a free bird, and nothing could hinder your thoughts, including death.]

[You, who carry countless true spirits, are willing to bring them freedom, just as you were willing to give them wisdom in the beginning.]

[You are always so free...]
