Chapter 81 Cai's PastIn the martial arts world, the lifespan of a warrior is one hundred and forty-nine years! No one can outgrow age! But there are other things in the world that transcend this age. For example, the demon clan, and even the legendary dragon clan in the deep sea! So some people thought, since humans can only live to be 149 years old, then wouldn’t it be possible to live longer by not being a human being? In the martial arts world, giving up being a human being for the sake of longevity is not an option, but a question to be answered. How can I stop being a human being? How can you live longer by not being a human? Some people set their sights on the demons! The big demons of the demon tribe can easily live for hundreds of years, and even special monsters can live for thousands of years. Compared with humans' desire for immortality and longevity, even the most ferocious demons became weak, and many became extinct as a result. Monsters are becoming increasingly rare, and some are even hiding deep in the mountains and the sea. Soon this path was proven to be unfeasible. The fusion of various monsters could easily lead to rejection reactions and death. Even if they were forcibly fused, they would become neither human nor monster, and would become mentally disordered. The demons in the world thus escaped the disaster, but those who wanted to stop being human were still studying it.
A thousand years ago, nine top masters of the Da Cai Dynasty demonstrated a possibility. Martial arts is about constantly exploring one's own "self" and the power of true qi, so wouldn't it be enough to just let the "self" consciousness and true qi find a new carrier? Flesh and blood are weak, but consciousness is eternal! What is the most suitable thing? It's Dragon Ball! The dragon ball is the culmination of the dragon clan's life energy and spirit. It is the most suitable and most energy-containing thing in the world. Nine top masters personally went to the depths of the sea, captured nine adult dragons, and buried their dragon bones in the mountains, using the continuous power of the Kongtong Mountains to nourish the dragon bones. They then used the dragon bones to nourish the nine dragon balls. In order to suppress the consciousness of the dragon clan in the dragon ball, nine top masters jointly deduced a method of sharing consciousness. The nine of them are one person, yet not one person. The consciousness within the nine dragon balls was shattered in front of nine people! The plan went smoothly, and nine top masters conducted experiments and nurtured human consciousness inside the dragon balls. As long as the timing is right and they consume the energy in the dragon balls, they can take over the bodies of other warriors and continue to live. If that person dies, his consciousness will continue to return to the dragon ball for nurturing. Repeat this cycle and you will achieve eternal life! They hid the dragon balls in the Nine Dragon Wall, one for each of them, and from then on they were thrown into the Nine Dragon Wall, no longer human! According to the normal plan, they would secretly control the Cai Dynasty, support a puppet emperor, and become the mastermind behind the Cai Dynasty. However, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and their plan was discovered by people from the Da Cai Dynasty. Who doesn’t want to live forever? A bloody civil war thus began. On one side were nine top masters, and on the other side was the Da Cai Dynasty, which had ulterior motives. The two sides fought till their brains were exhausted. In the end, there were not enough martial arts masters in the central dynasty, and wars broke out everywhere. The Great Cai Dynasty slowly perished. The nine people in the Nine Dragon Wall also fell into a deep sleep because they consumed too much energy from the dragon balls. Until someone from a college accidentally obtained the records of the Nine Dragon Wall from the Da Cai Dynasty and came to Kongtong Mountain. Several years later, the previous mountain masters of the Three Mountains and Seven Courtyards came to the Nine Dragon Wall.
He made a deal with the Nine Dragon Wall. Lure more people to the Da Cai Arsenal, and then kill each other, using the will of life and death as fire to warm the consciousness of the Nine Dragon Wall. For hundreds of years, the nine of them felt "cold". It was not real cold, but a similar feeling of "cold" produced by the slow forgetting and loss of human emotions. They need others to warm them so that they don't feel the bone-chilling cold that may cause their consciousness to no longer function and they become "ice sculptures" or monsters. They want to control the world and take over other people's bodies to enjoy happiness. How can they become "ice sculptures"? The Da Cai Armory at the foot of the mountain became the stove that kept them warm, and the struggles played out in the stoves were the firewood! In return, they took out the secret manuals from the Da Cai arsenal. As long as the people from the Three Mountains and Seven Colleges were willing, they could learn any technique from the Da Cai arsenal! This is the reason why the Three Mountains and Seven Colleges have become stronger. The transaction went smoothly, and every ten or several years, there would be news about the Da Cai Armory. Many people also found secret manuals whose authenticity was unknown, but even more people died in the Da Cai Armory. This transaction went smoothly until two masters of the Real Realm appeared in the Three Mountains and Seven Colleges! They completely established their foothold around Kongtong Mountain, and no one could control them anymore. The previous mountain master felt relieved and told the two of them the details of the transaction! Since they have already obtained the Da Cai martial arts secrets and can survive in this world, why should they still conspire with the tiger! That's how the deal was broken. It took thirty years for the nine people in the Nine Dragon Wall to go from anger to despair! The arrival of a person broke the despair of the Nine Dragon Wall, and that person was Jia Dakong! Jia Dakong was good at moving mountains and robbing tombs. He observed the stars at night and found that the eight mountains and twelve caves corresponded to the stars in the sky above and the earth veins below, so it was a waste to use them to store books. It’s tricky! So, he used all his skills to dig several holes in succession, and finally came to this stone chamber in a daze. Come to think of it, such a large area has been dug at the foot of the mountain, how can we let the whole mountain go? Jia Dakong explored this place carefully, but he never expected that he would be possessed as soon as he arrived at the Nine Dragon Wall! A dragon shadow rushed into his consciousness, suppressed him, and turned him into the walking incarnation of one of the nine dragons in the Nine Dragon Wall. If he had no choice, Yunhai Jinpeng Zhou Diao would not have chosen this old body. Now he has to rely on the earth veins to slowly nurture the dragon ball, and it will take him decades to use it to possess another body and transform into another. Old men are the least cost-effective because they are very likely to die of old age. But there is no way now, among them, he is the only one who has recovered well! In the face of adversity, Yunhai Jinpeng turned the tables and first took over Jia Dakong's power. Then he used the news to attract Ren Daokuang, who was desperately seeking to break through the sky barrier! Heavenly barrier is the highest level of the True Person Realm. That is when the true self’s will and true energy reach their peak, and the true energy no longer increases. It is like the sky blocking the way in front of the realm of true immortals, hence the name Heavenly Barrier! Ren Dao Kuang, who was lured here, injured the invincible Li Dangmo and Si Chen with an iron fist, and came to the Nine Dragon Wall, allowing another person among the Nine Dragons to take over his body. That person is Xie Wenwu! Unfortunately, Ren Daokuang's will was too firm, and Xie Wenwu had not yet recovered to his peak state. The two of them were in a state of two people sharing one body, until Xie Wenwu discussed with him and asked Ren Daokuo to help with a few things, and then he left Ren Daokuo.
Ren Daokuang was unwilling to be controlled by him. And catching Li Dangmo and Si Chen is the last thing! So bad!
