The Sutra of Nothingness

"Ahem!" Shangguan Duo, who had just gotten up from the ground with great difficulty, coughed twice involuntarily to ease the embarrassment and awkwardness at the moment. He stretched out his hand in a calm manner, symbolically patted the non-existent dust on his body, and then strode straight ahead without looking back.

"If you ask me, in this mysterious and vast realm of the Nine Heavens, only the Xianyun Realm can be said to be a place where real strong people gather, and it possesses unparalleled powerful strength. As for other realms, they are basically suppressed by them, and it is difficult for them to have the slightest chance to breathe, let alone turn things around! If you really intend to go looking for that guy Xu Ni, or find ways to deal with the threat he brings, then there is no doubt that the best choice is to find the location of the city built by the Xianyun Realm! If we can seize this rare opportunity to challenge him, maybe the world we live in can still be saved. After all, in the entire fairy world, almost all the powerful people with extraordinary strength know how terrifying Xu Ni is." The little ring spirit did not seem to notice the embarrassment in Shangguan Duo's heart, and still talked to him incessantly as he pleased.

"Well, I am naturally very clear about these situations. But now I know nothing about the specific layout of this world. I still have to find a suitable place to buy a detailed and accurate map first, right?" Although Shangguan Duo was quite dissatisfied with the little Ringwraith, he had no way to deal with it. He could only roll his eyes helplessly and responded unhappily.

"Haha, don't you understand yet? The types of currency that are freely circulated in the fairy world are completely different from those in your lower world! Those things in your hands are just a pile of worthless garbage!" The little Ringwraith said this in a disappointing way when Shangguan Duo was trying to run forward. Shangguan Duo was stunned by this and stopped where he was.

"Uh... huh? No, why is this happening? What is going on? Oh my God! Wouldn't all the spiritual stones piled up here become worthless waste? What should I do? Please help me think of a solution, otherwise, if things go on like this, I'm afraid it will be a luxury to even enter the city!" Shangguan Duo was shocked, his body trembled violently, and then he fell into extreme panic. He paced back and forth in front of the little ring spirit like a headless fly, his hands clenched tightly together, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

At this moment, he was extremely anxious, like an ant on a hot pot, constantly rubbing his hair. Before long, the originally neat hairstyle became messy, just like a messy chicken coop. Looking at the predicament in front of him, Shangguan Duo felt a surge of despair in his heart, and secretly complained in his heart: "This is really a big trouble!"

"What other options are there now? In my opinion, why don't you try to find some black mines, and then work there honestly for a while, and strive to earn enough spirit stones to enter the city? By the way, you can also communicate with those people and learn more about the outside world. After all, I'm a newcomer and I know very little about the things in the lower world!" The little Ringwraith seemed quite calm and responded to Shangguan Duo slowly.

In fact, he had no shortage of immortal crystals, but he didn't want Shangguan Duo to squander them so quickly. After all, his former master was an immortal king, and any immortal crystals he could draw out would be enough for Shangguan Duo to use! He just didn't want to, and he was a frugal person!

"Black mine? What does this mean?" Shangguan Duo asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Hearing his question, the other party smiled and patiently explained: "Actually, it's almost the same as in the lower world. For the immortals who are practicing, who would willingly run to that dark and gloomy mine cave to dig for daily expenses and the immortal crystals needed for practice? So, naturally, you have to spend a little money to hire a group of "illegal households" with no identity background to work! Moreover, this situation exists in every heaven. However, those powerful forces usually have their own complete industrial chain, which is the so-called "white mine". They only know how to mine. Reasonably hiring internal personnel can save costs on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is equivalent to providing an opportunity for the young generations of their family to train and grow; however, when it comes to "black mines", that is the unknown industry of these forces hidden in the dark! There, the immortals, demons and beasts that appear are unpredictable, and their realms are difficult to predict. What's worse is that many of them carry various kinds of highly toxic gases. Of course, they are reluctant to let their younger generations take risks in such a dangerous place! "The little ring spirit also saw Shangguan Duo's doubts and explained nonchalantly.

"Shouldn't a person who has cultivated to the immortal realm be free of desires and show no emotion? Why is it still like this? I thought..." Shangguan Duo frowned, his brows as deep as a knife, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement, and whispered the questions in his heart. However, before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the little ring spirit beside him.

The little Ringwraith raised his mouth slightly, revealing a contemptuous and sarcastic smile, and said to Shangguan Duo in an extremely disdainful tone: "What do you mean by no desires? Humph! This is just a trick used by those so-called immortals to deceive the world. It is a complete scam! If one can really be free of desires, how could anyone be willing to continue practicing and pursue a higher realm? They have simply suppressed other desires to the lowest point, but fundamentally speaking, their essence is still no different from us ordinary people, and their hearts are still full of endless greed and desires. It's just that in comparison, they are better at disguising and concealing themselves."

At this point, the little Ringwraith seemed to recall the various scenes he had seen when following his previous master. He couldn't help but shook his head, sighed, and continued: "Alas, those guys who look righteous and otherworldly on the surface, I don't know how many shameful things they have done behind the scenes!" His words showed his contempt and dissatisfaction with the people in the fairy world.
