Therefore, Luo Xiu didn't hesitate any longer. The system in his mind had already helped him cultivate the Purification Art in his body. It had simulated the external effects of each step several times. After ensuring that nothing went wrong, Luo Xiu finally made up his mind that morning. He was ready to show the truth that he had already started cultivating the Purification Art.
But before that, there was one thing he had to do, and that was to find a way to appease the old man. After all, he had to use 120% of his energy to simulate every step of the Purification Art's circulation in his body. More importantly, he had to make the old man regain his patience with him.
Therefore, Luo Xiu found the old man lying under the tree and bowed deeply to him. He said very respectfully, "Senior, I'm already prepared to go into seclusion today to cultivate the Purification Art that you gave me. It's just that I don't quite understand some of the contents of this cultivation method, so I would like to ask senior for guidance!
I don't know if you have the time, but if you do, please help me answer the doubts in my heart. After all, this is related to the path I will take in the future. If I take a wrong step, it is very likely that I will lose everything! "
At this moment, Luo Xiu's face was solemn. His eyes were full of determination. The old man was stunned by his resolute expression. Luo Xiu was also very confident in his acting skills. In addition, he was now immersing himself in his original experience. Therefore, he didn't feel out of place. Therefore, he didn't arouse the old man's suspicion.
"Oh, I haven't seen you do anything for so long. I thought you were worried about the Old Man. Since you said so, the Old Man won't hide anything from you. If you don't understand anything, just ask. As long as the Old Man knows, he will answer you one by one. Although cultivating the Purification Art isn't dangerous for you, it's better to avoid some unnecessary troubles. The Old Man won't have any ulterior motives towards you. Just cultivate with peace of mind. There won't be any problems with the art!"
The old man instantly sat up from his original lying posture. He looked at Luo Xiu with a slightly surprised gaze and said with some bewilderment and uncertainty.
Next, Luo Xiu asked questions. The old man patiently answered them one by one. The two of them were like master and disciple. There was no sense of disharmony. The questions that Luo Xiu asked were deliberately selected by the system. For Luo Xiu, it was very difficult for him to understand. After all, he had ascended from another world. If he appeared to know enough about this world, it would be abnormal.
Therefore, Luo Xiu only asked some basic questions. In the old man's eyes, this was a very normal situation. Therefore, the old man didn't suspect that Luo Xiu had seen through his intentions. Instead, he became more enthusiastic because Luo Xiu's questions were indeed things that he had deliberately ignored in the jade slip.
Therefore, when Luo Xiu finished asking all the questions, the old man pretended that he had just thought of something and took out several jade discs from his bracelet. He handed them directly to Luo Xiu and explained to him, "Little guy, I thought you knew the basic knowledge of this world when you practiced. I didn't expect that the questions you asked just now were all very basic. It was also because the Old Man had neglected them and treated you as a person from our world. There are many things you really need to exchange. Only then did you realize that the Old Man really misunderstood you. The reason why the Old Man urged you to change your cultivation method as soon as possible was mainly because he was afraid that your future cultivation path would be affected. Therefore, he neglected the basic knowledge of this world. Although the jade slip that the Old Man gave you is almost basic knowledge for the people of this world, it's very likely that it's a book of mysteries for an outsider like you. That's why the Old Man was a little self-righteous. The Old Man would like to apologize to you. You should go and study it carefully. These are some basic theories about cultivation methods in this world, as well as some things you must pay attention to when practicing cultivation methods. Take a good look at them. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask the Old Man at any time. It's the first time that the Old Man has seen such a cautious little guy like you in all these years. Your cautiousness is completely worthy of being learned by the Old Man. You can go and find the Old Man if there's anything you don't understand!"
After the old man finished speaking, he took a deep look at Luo Xiu, then handed the jade slip in his hand to Luo Xiu. He waved his hand to let Luo Xiu go and study it by himself. On the surface, Luo Xiu looked very happy and respectful. He bowed slightly to the old man, then turned around and left.
However, when he turned around, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. It was a mocking smile that was quickly restrained by him. At the same time, Luo Xiu began to curse in his heart. Previously, Luo Xiu had only guessed that this old man wanted to seize his body. However, through this conversation with this old man, as well as Luo Xiu's probing intention, all of this clearly showed that this old man wanted to seize his body.
And from the urgency of the old man for the life-prolonging elixir, it was not difficult to see that the old man didn't have much time left. At the same time, Ye Xiwen's sudden appearance was simply a perfect body delivered to the old man's doorstep.
Moreover, if it was someone else who fell into the Five Decay of Heaven and Man and didn't have much time left, they would definitely find ways to improve their cultivation and enter a new realm to prolong their life.
But this old man obviously wasn't. The 'Purification Art' he gave to Luo Xiu was not only strange, but it could also completely wash away any control imprint that Luo Xiu had on the energy in his body. It must be combined with other cultivation methods. Only by combining the two could Ye Xiwen's cultivation advance further. Obviously, the old man only gave Luo Xiu the first half of the 'Purification Art'. As for what to do next, Luo Xiu didn't know at all.
Since he already had a definite answer in his heart, Luo Xiu didn't intend to waste any more time with this old man. He had to find a suitable opportunity in the shortest time possible to lure this old man to seize his body. Otherwise, it would be very unfavorable for him to drag on like this.
At the same time, as for when to make a move, Luo Xiu didn't have an accurate time for the time being. So, this time had to fall on True Monarch Hao Yue. Because Luo Xiu believed that if True Monarch Hao Yue was still like he was now, and his Soul Force was constantly monitoring the movements of the entire Hao Yue City, then it would be impossible for the old man before him to make a move against him under the eyes of True Monarch Hao Yue, the city lord of Hao Yue City. So, based on what had happened in Hao Yue City during this period of time, Luo Xiu knew that the time should be soon.
Therefore, in the following period of time, Luo Xiu behaved very obediently, even to the extent of forgetting himself when cultivating. Moreover, from time to time, he would ask some questions to the old man. And every time after he finished asking, Luo Xiu would find an excuse to leave the courtyard, and then pretend to go to the shops on the street to buy cultivation resources. These cultivation resources were all mentioned in the jade slip. In addition, the old man had a request for him, so every time Luo Xiu went out, the old man would only faintly instruct him to pay attention to his safety. Then, he would give a large number of spirit stones to Luo Xiu for him to use, regardless of the gains and losses.
Once or twice, Luo Xiu could see that the old man was obviously satisfied with his progress. At the same time, Luo Xiu understood that during this period of time, he was able to successfully fool the old man. It could be said that the system played a key role in the success of the plan.
If it wasn't for the system's powerful ability, it would be almost impossible for Luo Xiu to do this with his own ability. But with the help of the system in his mind, it was different. The system could easily help him simulate the process of cultivating the Cleansing Secret Art, and any external performance of his body's aura. The system's heaven-defying ability was simply incomprehensible to the old man.
Therefore, Luo Xiu's every step was very solid. After the old man checked, he was very satisfied. Therefore, he became more and more relaxed in his monitoring of Luo Xiu. Because of Luo Xiu's obedient performance, the old man's vigilance towards Luo Xiu was even lower.
Because all of Luo Xiu's external performance was very consistent with the old man's understanding of the Cleansing Secret Art, Luo Xiu's days were like a fish in water. He was very free and unfettered.
For Luo Xiu, there were many things that he didn't know if he didn't try. Now, from the old man's performance, it was not difficult for Luo Xiu to see that he was so naive before. He was just like a little rookie. Even if he had the system, if he hadn't reacted in time, he would have been fooled by the old man and almost taken the initiative to be the old man's scapegoat. It would not be like now, where he could decide whether to advance or retreat.
After experiencing this period of time, as well as the conversation with the old man, Luo Xiu knew that the cultivation system of the practitioners in the Green Cloud Great World was completely different from what he had experienced in other places. Although the first few realms of the practitioners here were the same as the Foundation Establishment, Foundation Establishment, and Nascent Soul realms that Luo Xiu was familiar with, the realms after that were completely different. After that were the Yin Spirit, the Yang Spirit, and the Primordial Spirit. After that were the Five Decays of Celestial Being, as well as the mighty Tao Realm after the Five Decays of Celestial Being.
From the old man's words, Luo Xiu knew that the so-called Sages who were active in the region, including Supreme Hao Yue, were almost all at the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm. They had not entered the Five Decays of Celestial Being.
However, the old man was an exception. His cultivation was not very strong, but his cultivation realm had reached the third stage of the Five Decays of Celestial Being, which was the legendary decline of Dharma power.
In this realm of Dharma power decline, he originally had the opportunity to break through to the next realm. However, he did not expect that due to some unexpected circumstances, he would exhaust his life force in a short period of time. Therefore, he was in a situation where he was waiting for death. Luo Xiu could roughly guess what the old man's situation was.
Obviously, the old man was completely unable to cultivate because of the Five Decays of Celestial Being. As a result, if he wanted to break through the Five Decays of Celestial Being and enter another realm, he had to fill up the old man's life force. Because only in this way could he guarantee that he would have enough life force to support the moment his Primordial Spirit disintegrated.
Because only in this way could he survive the decline of Dharma power of the Five Decays of Celestial Being in a short period of time and finally completely solve the old man's problem. Therefore, the only problem in front of the old man was that he had to find a person who did not have too much connection with the Way of Heaven of this world. It would be best if the person was not from this world, because whether a cultivator was born in this world or not would have a great impact on the old man.
Because no matter who the old man wanted to possess, as long as it was a cultivator born in this world, the old man would have to pay a painful price if he wanted to possess him. However, Luo Xiu was different.
Since the old man discovered that Luo Xiu was an ascender from the lower realm, the old man's thoughts had been active. Luo Xiu could roughly guess what would happen next. At this moment, the old man's impatience was not difficult to understand.
Since he had already understood the old man's intention, Luo Xiu had plenty of ways to deal with this person. More importantly, he was not worried that someone would possess him. After all, to put it bluntly, his current body was also obtained through possession. Although it was his own body, possession was still possession. The special law of heaven and earth would definitely make the old man's efforts in vain.
After this period of adaptation, Luo Xiu could already perform whatever he wanted at the appropriate time. He could perform the external appearance of the Cleansing Incantation, and he could do it flawlessly.
Therefore, Luo Xiu was ready to find the right opportunity to completely solve his problem.
Originally, with Xiao Ying around, he was still a little worried. However, ever since he found out that the little girl was only one of the elder's backup plans, he no longer had any thoughts of being merciful. To him, this old fellow was definitely courting death. Since the elder had delivered himself to his doorstep, coupled with the fact that he urgently needed to understand this world, if possible, devouring the elder's soul was absolutely the best choice.
Luo Xiu was so sure that the old man would only use his soul to possess him. From some ancient books and the Jade Slips given to him by the old man, Luo Xiu knew that the practitioners in this world would face the Deva's Five Decay when their cultivation reached a certain level. This was because the practitioners in the Deva's Five Decay, even their primordial spirit was under the rules of the Deva's Five Decay. Therefore, if the old man wanted to get rid of the Deva's Five Decay, he had to abandon his primordial spirit and rely only on his powerful soul to possess him. For Luo Xiu, this was a very good opportunity to kill the old man. With the Innate Hong Meng Purple Qi, he was not worried that he would fail miserably. Therefore, he was ready to wait for the old man to possess him at any time.
