Chapter 1426: Chapter 675: Tides_2

But don’t be discouraged, all sacrifices are worthwhile. I think our mission this time is to assist other strings and test the capability of the mule.

Our experience will surely be useful for the next time!"

Tie Dan remained silent for a while.

To be honest, after dreaming of five hundred years in the yellow beam, he really felt invincible upon waking, as if he almost finished the ultimate battle. But now it seems, it might not be that simple.

Moreover, based on the current information, the Baobao, Black, and Space-Time Taoist Ancestor he encountered before might not exist in the same timeline.

This time, he suddenly descended from his Xuantian Tie Dan’s world into this parallel world of the Heartless Egg, much like Black said, to see how the final battle is fought.

But why do riddlers? Why not speak directly... Oh, it seems the old egg wanted to say something when he just woke up, but got scolded away...

Ahem, but seriously, can the ultimate battle be SL read and archived to fight a hundred times over? Time travel method is really unreliable...

White spit,

"Oh, Mad, haven’t even fought yet and you’re spoiling to old me that we’re going to lose, it’s really demoralizing! So what was your original plan? Can it be changed? As long as it hasn’t happened, there should still be a chance, right?"

Black thought for a while, shook his head,

"No, actually, it can’t be changed. After all, the mule is equivalent to the final BOSS. If the mule loses without even appearing, there’s no reason for Master to return to this timeline.

And being able to push all the way in front of the mule shows that my preliminary arrangements are inherently okay, just lost in the end. So if there’s to be any change, it should be your change."

White was speechless, "What does that have to do with me!?"

Black chuckled,

"Why doesn’t it involve you? Isn’t this a world you single-handedly established, a chess game you arranged, a battlefield you chose? You are the commander of the ultimate battle, aren’t you? Oh, you fought a mule and got wiped out, blame me for not being born earlier? Are you shameless?"

White, "Hey, you!"

Tie Dan, "Stop arguing! Talk about the main topic! Weren’t there three important things you wanted to mention?"

Since Master spoke, Black was too lazy to argue, leading everyone to continue walking into the Taoist Palace, arriving at the Alchemy Room, signaling Tie Dan to stand at the door, entering to take out a stone bowl made of Sun Ice, and then took out a porcelain-like Jade Purification Bottle, unsealed the bottle’s mouth, and poured the contents into the bowl.

"This is Sha."

What poured out of the bottle was a black smoke, looking like carbon dust and ink powder, seemingly having form yet fluctuating as a unique substance.

"Entropy, Chaos, Dark Matter, Otherworldly Qi, Earth Evil Ghost Spring, Void Abyss Crystal, interstitial dust... There are various names, I currently don’t have a mature theory to explain the principle and formation of Sha, tentatively understanding it as a natural phenomenon in the universe. But in any case, this is something that originally didn’t exist in the Taiji World.

Some say, this is the ashes of otherworldly people, the remains burned to ash, turned to carbon, crushed to slag during the final battle, filled with the wandering souls at the battlefield, carrying the unwillingness of the extinguished dead and the resentment towards the surviving living, attracted by the wailing of the dying Alaya Consciousness of the shattered world, gathered for reincarnation, ultimately covering the dust on human graves.

But I feel this has nothing to do with human dead, at most some Sha indeed contaminated by the unjust souls brought over. But Sha itself should be more than this. It might be some high-dimensional existence, very high, far surpassing the dimension I can observe, overlaid in the projection of the present world.

The shadow is getting bigger and closer, while Sha is becoming more and more abundant, thicker, and denser. The most deadly is that Sha and Qi are two kinds of mutually incompatible, even mutually exclusive and interfering energies, which leads to the foundation method of Mystic Sect Qi Manipulation being completely unmanageable.

Once interfered by Sha permeated in the surroundings, it will obstruct the flow of True Qi, making mantras ineffective and magic doesn’t work, it’s like poison to cultivators, leading to the ultimate battlefield where Qi was already useless, and naturally Taiji Dao perished."

White turned his eyes,

"You mentioned earlier that Sha can be contaminated by wandering souls? So the magic of the Divine Sect can be used, right?"

Black nodded,

"That’s right, Mystic Sect doesn’t work, so this time I won’t intervene, let you try the Divine Sect.

But regardless of which Daoist Skill is used, Sha is the root of everything. Indeed, the characteristics of Sha make it easy to misunderstand.

As everyone knows, ’Qi’ symbolizes the energy of life, and is more congenial to all living things. Hence, the Yin Yang Union, Dual Cultivation Method of the Xiaoyao Sect can also produce the largest amount of living Qi.

While ’Sha’ is indeed more congenial to those demons, evil spirits, wandering spirits. Therefore, it was once considered the opposite of Qi.

It’s a magic conjured Demon Qi, a hatred and animosity of wicked ghost towards all life, an ultimate energy that devours everything and destroys all.

However, according to my observations and experiments, actually Sha and Qi don’t have any inevitable causal relationship, nor any absolute mutual generation and mutual restraint.

So my theory is that the basic particles constituting ’Sha’ and ’Qi’ might themselves be similar in size and wavelength, even existing in the same high-dimensional plate, thus causing mutual interference.

More Qi will interfere with the existence of Sha, vice versa, more Sha will also squeeze Qi out. Therefore, it’s simply that living beings evolve according to nature, more congenial to the environment of ’Qi’, while actively rejecting ’Sha’."
