Luo Xuan sighed worriedly and stopped talking.
She had been studying with Yun Chan these years and had a deep understanding of Taoism.
Taoism emphasized the unity of man and nature. The more powerful the creature was, the more compatible it would be with heaven. It was said that heaven and earth were heartless and treated all things as straw dogs. In the eyes of a higher level of life, there was no distinction between nobility and inferiority in the world.
Only by surpassing self and self could one enter the supreme realm of unity of man and nature.
Of course, those who could reach this realm belonged to the legendary Taoist "Saint". They were no longer in the five elements and had jumped out of the three realms.
As long as one was a human, it was inevitable that one would have desires and concerns. This was what Buddhism meant by not being able to let go. Originally, she didn't believe that humans could let go of self and other obsessions, but the person in front of her was not necessarily so. As her teacher said, this person was a natural Taoist.
The scene was silent. After a long time, Luo Kai sighed softly. "I was born as a human, I'm sorry."
Luo Xuan understood what he meant. With the improvement of cultivation, one's mind and vision would be broadened. Compared to the supreme way of heaven, the struggles and grudges in the world were nothing. She forced a smile. "What's there to be sorry about? I hope you can surpass yourself one day."
Luo Kai got up and walked to the window, overlooking the city below. He knew the importance of his current strength to the human race, but with the improvement of the spiritual realm, all kinds of things in the secular world became more and more insignificant.
He followed a kind of "Tao" that included all things. This Tao was not only energy, but more importantly, the soul. It had to surpass the individual, self, subjective and objective, and even the group. In other words, it had to be deeply compatible with all things in order for all things to be open to you.
Luo Xuan took out a white leaf from her arms and put it in the teapot. She poured a cup, walked over, hesitated for a moment, and advised, "Luo Kai, I haven't seen you for two years. You … you are still the same, too indifferent. I think people should be more temperamental. Taoism also has its own Tao, don't suppress yourself too much."
Luo Kai turned around and took the tea. His gaze swept past her jade like face, and his heart couldn't help but sigh with emotion. After not seeing her for a few years, that ice- cold woman had now become much more gentle and quiet. She knew how to comfort people and had even become a powerful Physical Master.
She casually made a slight movement, and the surrounding air swirled around her to help set her off. He had never seen anyone with this kind of instinctive control over the airflow. It should be the Luo Family's Heaven Rank Body Art, the Tai Xin Qi Drawing Technique.
Smelling the intoxicating tea fragrance and sensing the astonishing active energy within, Luo Kai dispersed his thoughts and said, "This thing must be very precious."
"This is the Frigid Dew Grass I found in the Northern Frigid Ice Region. It has the miraculous effect of nourishing Essence Qi. You seem to be very weak right now, so you should drink more. Oh … I'll go back later and find you something to nourish your spirit."
Luo Kai's heart warmed. Although he didn't intend to participate in the affairs of the Human Race, there were some karma that needed to be settled. Whether it was Yun Shan, the Heavenly Sky Brocade, or the woman in front of him, they had all given him some help.
He returned to his seat and said, "Tell me, how have you all been these years? Is Little Yong doing well?"
Luo Xuan shook her head bitterly. "Tuoba Yong went to the west, where the sand beasts are wreaking havoc. The situation there is tense. After I advanced to Physique Master, I returned to the north. You have seen the situation in the north. In addition to the ice beasts, a powerful group of ferocious beasts has appeared recently. They were originally just a group of monkeys, but now they have evolved to become very powerful. They have intelligence not inferior to humans, and they can use all kinds of tools. They can even drive human tanks …
In the east, there is also a ghost city … It is said that hundreds of thousands of humans have been imprisoned there.
The most terrifying thing is the mutated sea creatures. Their evolution is far superior to that of the land creatures. That sky beast attacked a human city on the north coast a few days ago, and hundreds of thousands of people were displaced. This kind of ferocious beast has a powerful ability that can render most weapons ineffective. If it wasn't for you, Guangyuan Prefecture would not have been able to hold on …
Luo Kai frowned and finished the tea in one gulp. He stood up and said, "I need to go back to Shangjing first. Wait for me."
As he spoke, he walked out of the attic and disappeared into the horizon. When the consciousness of this body was assimilated by him, he did not need to suppress his spiritual power anymore. He could use psychokinesis to control the airflow and fly for a longer period of time. If he wanted to exert the greatest combat power, he had to hurry back to find his body.
Luo Xuan walked out of the attic and looked at the horizon in disappointment.
A handsome man walked in from outside the attic. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and looked very gentle. However, his hair was a little gray, making it difficult to tell his exact age.
"Has that senior left?"
"Yes."
The man was puzzled. "Who is he? Is he a Saint?
When did another Saint appear in our Human Clan? "
Luo Xuan shook her head. "I don't know. His strength can never be measured by ranks."
After that, she asked, "Staff Officer Xue, how is the investigation of Jiuyuan Ghost City going?"
The man's name was Xue Han. He was the Staff Officer of the Guangyuan Garrison Army. He was responsible for the overall planning of the war and was very intelligent.
He said seriously, "There is not much movement in Jiuyuan Ghost City. We have studied the energy core of the ancient ruins thoroughly. This thing is very powerful. It can emit a powerful radiation energy that is specially targeted at all kinds of incorporeal life forms. However, it is a little exhausted now. We have to attack Jiuyuan Ghost City before the energy core is exhausted.
Luo Xuan's face became serious. She pondered for a while and said, "Incorporeal life forms are good at powerful space shifting techniques. I'm afraid that Jiuyuan Ghost City will shift away before our main force arrives."
Staff Officer Xue said in a deep voice, "This energy core has another function, which is to stabilize space. As long as we place the energy core in Jiuyuan Ghost City and throw out a large number of flame eggs, the Jiuyuan Ghost City will be annihilated by itself!"
Liao Xiaoshan's face was still serious, "There will be at least a few level 4 incorporeal life forms in Jiuyuan Ghost City. How effective will this thing be on them?"
Staff Officer Xue shook his head and said, "I don't know. But I think that even if it can't kill high level ghosts, it will greatly weaken their strength. The key is that the radiation energy contained in this energy core is depleting very quickly. I'm afraid that it will become an ordinary rock in two days. We still haven't studied the cause of this radiation energy. If we don't try to deal with ghosts before it is effective, we will definitely regret it in the future!"
Luo Xuan lowered her head and thought for a while. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, you go back and draw up the battle plan. We will go to Jiuyuan Ghost City!"
On the evening of the second day, a huge airship took off from the military base in Guangyuan Prefecture. The airship was densely packed with countless laser launchers. This was the most advanced weapon developed by mankind at present. It had great lethality against incorporeal ghosts, but its power was limited against ferocious beasts with strong physical bodies.
This was the first time that humans had launched an attack on the ghost race's gathering place. Everyone looked at the behemoth above their heads with excitement.
Luo Xuan stirred up the airflow and floated to the side of the airship. Looking down at the city below, a trace of excitement flashed in her eyes.
The airship blended into the dark clouds in the sky and slowly moved towards a mountain range shrouded in black fog.
Gradually, an ancient city covered in black fog appeared in the huge valley ahead. Luo Xuan jumped down from the airship first. An invisible airflow supported her as she flew towards the city.
She originally had an Ice Physique. As her cultivation increased, she gradually broke away from the inherent ice. Instead, she could freely transform the three forms of water. Among them, she could control the atmosphere. Combined with the Luo family's Great Yin Qi Attraction Technique, her combat power was far above ordinary physical masters.
After a while, Luo Xuan was already close to Jiuyuan Ghost City. Looking at the ghost city below, a cold light flashed in her eyes. Airflow began to gather around her.
A black fog rose from Jiuyuan Ghost City. A ferocious ghost appeared behind her. It said gloomily, "Little human, are you here to deliver food to us?"
Luo Xuan looked back with a cold face, "Today is the day that this Jiuyuan Ghost City will be destroyed!"
"Hehe, what a big tone …" The ghost sneered. Before he finished speaking, his face suddenly changed. He felt that his invisible ghost body suddenly began to shake and disintegrate. He immediately turned his head to look into the distance. A huge airship was flying towards Jiuyuan Ghost City.
"Ambush energy field!"
The ghost shouted in horror. He hurriedly turned into a cloud of black fog and rushed towards Jiuyuan Ghost City below. At this moment, the surrounding air suddenly gathered and sealed him in the sky like a cage.
Luo Xuan raised her fist and hit him. Before her fist arrived, the force was like layers of huge waves, shaking his invisible ghost body.
This technique of layering kinetic energy was something she had comprehended from the mysterious "Book of Emptiness". In terms of power, it was not the slightest bit inferior to her family's Taiyin Qi-Drawing Technique. However, in order to cultivate the Taiyin Qi-Drawing Technique to the peak, one needed a kind of light body constitution. This set of physical techniques did not require absolute talent, and anyone could use it.
The countless ghosts in Jiuyuan Ghost City below also felt the ambush energy field. Ghosts had always been bloodthirsty and fierce. Not only did they not panic, but they also looked excited. They flocked towards the sky.
In the airship, Xue Han hugged a huge crystal. He frowned as he looked at the countless hungry ghosts below.
"The power of this energy hub is average. Those hungry ghosts don't seem to be affected." A fierce-looking man next to him said doubtfully.
Xue Han shook his head and said, "This thing is still in a state of exhaustion. Its power will become weaker and weaker. We need to get closer."
The airship gradually flew into the sky above Jiuyuan Ghost City. Dazzling silver lights kept flashing. The laser launchers were much more powerful in the night sky. They instantly scattered the swarm of ghosts.
Incorporeal life forms were omnipotent. They were also immune to most physical attacks. They looked very powerful, but their resistance to energy attacks was very weak. Light, high temperature, cold, and even strong air currents would cause them a lot of damage.
The non-soul life forms of the Hungry Ghost Realm were strictly speaking evolved from microorganisms. Laser weapons were a kind of strong light that contained high ultraviolet rays. The effect on physical life forms was limited, but it was fatal to the Hungry Ghost Realm.
