The eighty-sixth chapter: Eliminating evil is promoting good.

  Today is the third watch...

  No matter how powerful the formation is, there must be an array eye and a meridian. If you want to break this formation, just follow the direction of the meridian and find the array eye. At this time, Zhang Chong, who had also figured out this point, was greatly excited and began to study the formation laid down by Yue with great concentration.

  The silver light shone brightly, dazzling the eyes. It should be the Metal element of the Five Elements. Zhang Chong thought of this and felt the power of the heavens and earth that contained the aura of metal. However, it was easy to say but difficult to do. After Zhang Chong sensed for a long time, this patch of silver white area was just like the real world, without any unusual places at all.

  Three hours later, Zhang Chong lay there weakly. The way of breaking the array was not as easy as he thought. He tried countless methods, but none of them worked. Just a small three-stage array method had completely trapped him inside. It can be imagined that if it were a six-stage array method in the forest outside, then no matter what, he would never be able to get out.

  "Are you discouraged? This is just the beginning, the first step in breaking through. What's most important is to have a calm and peaceful state of mind, without any turmoil. You can't give up after all this time, can you?" Yue said with a smile.

  "How could that be, brother just took a break." Zhang Chong heard Yue's provocative words and immediately sat up. How can he not try? There is still a great world outside waiting for him, this is an opportunity that cannot be given up. Moreover, judging from the current situation, his brothers should not have been caught, but were dispersed by this forest-like illusion array and trapped in this large array. And among these people, only he should have some chance to break through the array.

  He hopes to break through this formation as soon as possible for this very reason.

  "It doesn't matter if you're slow, but if you rush, you won't succeed. Your current strength is too weak, and to break through the formation, I estimate that your strength needs to grow to a certain level. Only then will the chances of breaking through increase greatly." Yue's words were reasonable.

  "Your meaning is that I should go out and cultivate first, and then come back here?" Zhang Chong heard Yue's words, his heart filled with boundless hope. To be sure, at present he was only a wisp of spiritual energy within the Xuanji Ring, while his body in the forest was in an uncontrollable state.

  This state gave him a very insecure feeling, what if there were beasts lurking in the woods, wouldn't it be easy for them to eat him up? Zhang Chong thought to himself. Although he hadn't seen any living creatures other than himself in the forest during this period of time, anything can happen, after all.

  In any case, having control over one's own body is at least a relatively safe thing.

  Yue listened to Zhang Chong's words and said

  "You don't have to go out, you can just cultivate your mind and spirit here. Lan Xi Ping's strength is beyond your imagination, and the power of Xuan Qi's seal is also something you can't imagine. I'll teach you how to refine instruments in this place."

  Yue's words were accompanied by an arrogant expression. As he spoke, a material suddenly flew in front of him. Zhang looked closely and saw that it was a piece of cyan-colored metal, which was second-grade screw steel, something he had exchanged for with White Yang Dan from Luo Mu Dan.

  "This second-grade steel thread, paired with your second-grade Xuan fire, can be used to refine a spiritual artifact. I'll teach you the method of refining artifacts."

  Yue had just said this when he suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

  "This is strange, how can there be a Nascent Soul of a cultivator in this storage space?"

  He let out a cry of surprise, which left Zhang confused. After thinking for half a day, he thought that if there was anyone else in the ring, it would be Wang Daozhong. At this point, he also told Yue about Wang Daozhong's situation.

  Yuwen listened and remained silent for a long time before speaking up.

  "How interesting, how interesting~~~~"

  "Where's the fun in that?" Zhang Chong asked.

  "It's indeed an interesting situation now." Yue said with a smile.

  "Although you have obtained the Xuanji Ring, according to the rules of Lanci Ping, everything is uncertain until I acknowledge you. To gain my recognition, you must reach the level of Huaxing, otherwise, you only have temporary ownership. During this process, as long as someone takes control of the Xuanji Ring, they can possess it and replace your position."

  Now Zhang Chong somewhat understood and asked Yue:

  "Could it be that this self-proclaimed old master of the Wang Dao, would actually have a chance to take my place and seize the Xuanji Ring?"

  "Of course, and the chances are great. You see, this is no ordinary old man, he's a Nascent Soul-level cultivator's Primordial Spirit. Although I don't know how he ended up in this ring, if he were to recover his strength, it would be at the Nascent Soul level, which corresponds to the Transformation stage for a cultivator. That's two stages higher than you are now."

  Moreover, I now see him using several pure Yang treasure artifacts to cultivate the technique of concentrating his spirit. Once he successfully concentrates his spirit, it is highly likely that he will complete the soul-snatching and become the new master of this Xuanji Ring.

  "Oh, in that case, you don't have to worry too much. This Wang Dao doesn't have his own body, and when he takes over, he will definitely use your body. In this way, you can barely be considered the master of Xuanji's Seal, but only in a physical sense, as your soul will be gone."

  Yue's words made Zhang feel a chill run down his spine. Could it be that in this Wudang Tao, one's soul would die but their body would still exist? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask:

  "What does 'this life' really mean."

  "The meaning of '夺舍' is that a stronger cultivator, who values your body, uses their power to forcefully eliminate your soul and then injects their own soul and strength into your body. This way, they can utilize your body to enhance their cultivation. After all, at that level of cultivation, one's physical body is no longer important; what matters is which body can withstand even greater power, thereby helping them get closer to the Dao."

  "This is robbery, it's no different from murder." Zhang Chong said angrily after hearing Yue's description. And after hearing Zhang Chong's words, Yue was silent for a long time before slowly saying...

  "This sentence of yours is quite like Lan Xi Ping's."

  This sentence is full of infinite emotion, and it seems that Yue thought of many things from those years. He sighed and said:

  "The eternal path to heaven, existing in the longing of many people, Lan Xi Ping has always believed that the so-called heavenly way is to strive for goodness, so as to make one's inner heart more in tune with the infinite vastness of the universe. However, after the rise of immortal cultivators and demon cultivators, these principles seem to have lost their effectiveness, they are forever pursuing greater strength, plundering more resources, hoping to rely on the accumulation of quantity to break through the last barrier."

  Their cultivation speed is much faster than that of the cultivators, and what they pursue is to compete with heaven and earth. Although Lan Xi Ping has always believed from start to finish that the path he took was the right one, however, he couldn't walk to the end."

  Yue's words were so moving that they left Zhang Chong speechless. After hearing Yue's words, Zhang Chong was at a loss for how to respond. He still felt that Lan Xi Ping's approach was correct, but why had he failed? After thinking deeply for a long time, a sudden realization dawned on him and he exclaimed loudly...

  "I've thought of it, Lancy's idea wasn't wrong, but his method was."

  "What?" As for Zhang Chong's sentence, Yue didn't understand its meaning at all.

  "It's like this, Lansi Ping's idea is correct, but the mistake lies in his thinking that everyone has the same thoughts as him, which is a big mistake. So I think he should be more flexible in his approach. When dealing with evil people, one must become even more evil than them, only then can they protect what they want to protect. As the saying goes, eliminating evil is promoting good."

  Zhang Chong said this, and couldn't help but feel complacent about his own idea.
