Immortal Shade Realm and Shadow World seem to be the same, but in fact they have many differences.
Even if the people in the two worlds are exactly the same at the beginning, with the same experiences and memories, as time goes by, the gap will only grow wider.
It stands to reason that after countless years of development, the two worlds are likely to become completely different.
However, the existence of some rules, or the relationship between the two worlds, is constantly correcting this difference, keeping the gap between the two worlds within a certain range.
For example, Shadow World's person Life and Death completely follows the body of the Immortal Shade Realm.
This ensures that everyone in Shadow World will neither die early nor die late, and is synchronized with Life and Death, the body of the Immortal Shade Realm.
Another example is that the body and shadow Cultivation Level of the two worlds are synchronized, and in such a world of practice, Cultivation Level is the basis for everything.
People in the two worlds live at the same time from birth to death, and Cultivation Level is exactly the same. No matter how the two worlds develop, they will be within a certain range, and the gap will not be too outrageous.
Everyone may have a different life, but the lives of the body and the shadow have more or less overlap.
Of course, with the current development, there may not be many overlaps.
Daoist Tian Qing said before that they would give priority to forgetting the memories of those closest to them. Although it was a lie, it was also a way for them to cover up their own abnormalities.
Explain that the difference between them as shadows and their true bodies is likely to be seen by those closest to them.
Just like Wang Jingxing back then, once he had been in contact with Zhang Wanzhi and others for a long time, Zhang Wanzhi would definitely be able to see something unusual about him!
That's why he deliberately alienated Zhang Wanzhi and others.
This also shows that when the shadow of Wang Jingxing is in Shadow World, it may not be familiar with the shadows of Zhang Wanzhi and others, or even if they are, they may not be familiar with each other.
Even in Shadow World, the shadows of Wang Jingxing and Zhang Wanzhi are still close friends and have grown smaller, but the shadow of Zhang Wanzhi is not the same as Zhang Wanzhi. There are many differences between the two.
Therefore, after all shadows disguise themselves as their own bodies, they will alienate those closest to them to avoid exposing their flaws.
But... Li Xiuchang thought of something else and asked, "Other things are fine, but what about giving birth to a child?"
Giving birth to a child is a very random thing. If the same two people plant the seeds at the same time, the children they will give birth to will be different.
Not to mention that the main body and the shadow dao companion are probably not the same person.
If this is the case, wouldn't there be many Shadow World people who Immortal Shade Realm do not exist?
And some people from the Immortal Shade Realm will have no shadow in Shadow World?
Regarding Li Xiuchang's question, one of the immortals smiled bitterly and said:
"As shadows, we have no right to choose. If the children we give birth to do not have a true body in the Immortal Shade Realm, they will be like false bubbles that will soon dissipate.
"But those who have their true identity in the Immortal Shade Realm will appear in our world without the need for parents to nurture them. We can only rely on the blood connection to adopt our own children."
This is really a joy to be a father!
Li Xiuchang also couldn't imagine what kind of experience this would be like.
When I wake up and find out that I am a father, the key is that I am still a virgin?
What's even more damning is that this child is really my own!
Don't recognize it? Not raising?
No problem, but I can't give birth to a child through normal channels, and it will dissipate after birth.
And this sudden extra child, even if you don't raise him, he will not die, he will still grow up, and even become stronger...
Maybe one day Cultivation Level will come back to settle the score with you.
In Shadow World, there are not only those who want to be fathers, but also those who want to be mothers. It is not uncommon for the "big girl" to have a son.
Chen Changsheng said, "But in the Immortal Shade Realm, it seems that you can give birth to your own children."
The two immortals nodded. "Yes, after coming to the Immortal Shade Realm, our shadows can have children, which makes us feel as if we have got rid of our shadow identities. But if you combine with people from your world, all the children born will not have Spiritual Aperture and will be unable to practice."
It seems that there is a big difference between the shadow and Immortal Shade Realm's normal people, and the children born from the combination of the two will have defects.
Xia Siyun asked, "Then the children you gave birth to in the Immortal Shade Realm will have a shadow in Shadow World?"
The two immortals shook their heads in silence.
If a shadow can be produced, it means that the child has got rid of the identity of the shadow and has become the "noumenon".
This also proves that the gap between the shadow and the body is only because they were born in different worlds.
The children born by the shadow in the Immortal Shade Realm can also obtain the identity of "original body".
This is what all the shadows of Shadow World want to see. No one wants to be a shadow or a vassal of others.
But unfortunately, things did not develop as they hoped. The children they gave birth to in the Immortal Shade Realm still had various qualities of "shadows" and could no longer generate corresponding shadows in Shadow World.
This shows that there is an essential difference in life between the shadow and the body, which cannot be changed by living in another world.
The two immortals said, "The children we gave birth to in the Immortal Shade Realm not only do not have corresponding shadows, but also have the same characteristics as shadows like us, such as being unable to ascend, no catastrophe, etc... But they also do not have corresponding bodies. They are really dead when they die. Cultivation Level also needs to cultivate on its own and will not grow on its own."
It sounds like it's not only bad, it's all bad.
But the two immortals said, "We would rather do this, at least our destiny is in our own hands."
This is not difficult to understand. Although a lot of conveniences and privileges have been lost, at least the child can be born on his own and will not die suddenly and inexplicably.
Moreover, every point Cultivation Level you get from your hard work is real, and you will gain something for every effort.
Unlike before, although the automatic growth of Cultivation Level is really cool, it is really powerless if it is put on a lazy and lazy body.
There is no point in cultivating on one's own. They rely on the true body, but if the true body doesn't practice well, there is nothing they can do.
Lu Yang said, "No wonder you don't have the Heavenly Tribulation and Immortal Tribulation. It turns out that you were all carried down by the main body. If the main body successfully survives Immortal Tribulation, you will naturally increase your lifespan. If the main body fails, you will also die. Speaking of which, you are also in a relationship with the main body where both prosper and suffer."
At this point in the conversation, everyone has already made a judgment in their minds as to whether what the two people said is true or false.
Mo Tu went straight to the point. "So, all of you shadows really want to come to the Immortal Shade Realm?"
The two immortals did not deny it and said, "If it were you, you probably wouldn't want to live in a world where the sun never shines, and you have to be prepared to die suddenly at any time."
"How did you get here Immortal Shade Realm? "Mo Tu asked.
"It's okay to tell you. When we come to your world, there is only one way, and that is to exchange with the original body."
"The body and the shadow cannot appear in the same world at the same time. Only by exchanging can they come to the other's world."
Li Xiuchang and several senior brothers and sisters looked at each other and asked in unison, "How to exchange?"
While asking, they already had a vague guess in their minds: it must be related to Immortal Yin!
Sure enough, the two immortals replied, "For the exchange between the two parties, the body and shadow need to be located in the Immortal Yin and Immortal Yang at the same time."
Immortal shade is the only shadow area in the entire Immortal Shade Realm, with no light all year round.
Xianyang is the only bright area in the entire Shadow World.
These two places are very special, as if they are the intersection connecting two worlds.
Only when a person's body and shadow are located in the Immortal Yin and Immortal Yang at the same time can the exchange be completed.
This condition is actually very harsh.
The world is so big and there are so many people. Xianyin and Xianyang only occupy a small area.
Moreover, in the Immortal Shade Realm, Xian Yin is synonymous with danger, and generally no one is willing to enter.
So it is not easy to meet this condition.
But I can't stand Shadow World's side creating conditions!
The shadows of Shadow World all want to replace the main body and escape from Shadow World, so everyone wants to live in the fairy sun and wait for luck to come there.
As long as one stays in the Immortal Yang all year round, once the body enters the Immortal Shadow, it can be exchanged immediately.
But Xianyang is so big that it cannot accommodate the entire Shadow World population, so competition arises.
The result of the competition is of course that the strong will win and occupy Xianyang for a long time, while the weak will have no choice but to leave.
On the Immortal Shade Realm's side, only the strong dare to enter the Immortal Shadow...
So exchanges between the two parties still happen from time to time.
Not all powerful shadows gather in Xianyang, but a lot of them do. Therefore, the information obtained by the Immortal Shade Realm is that the more powerful people enter Xianyang, the more likely they are to disappear.
Most of the missing people actually switched places with the shadow.
But because most of the shadows were not sure that they could impersonate the true body well, they chose to hide after coming to Fairy Shadow and remain anonymous instead of taking on the identity of the true body.
Speaking of this, everyone naturally thought of Lou Yu, including the Daoist Tian Qing group.
Choose to remain hidden and not have contact with the outside world to avoid being discovered.
They know very well that once their identities are exposed in the Immortal Shade Realm, the people of the Immortal Shade Realm will never tolerate them!
Therefore, they reached a consensus to keep their identities absolutely confidential.
And after coming to the Immortal Shade Realm, they united like never before, helping each other to hide their identities.
Because once a companion's identity is revealed, they will not be able to escape being implicated.
Of course, not everyone chooses to live in isolation. Some people are greedy for the status they had before their original identity, or are unwilling to live in plain seclusion and have the confidence to pretend to be their original identity.
For example, the shadow of Wang Jingxing...
He chose to take over the identity of Wang Jingxing Immortal Dust Sect Grand Elder.
Wang Jingxing returned to the Immortal Dust Sect after ascending for many years. He had no acquaintances in the sect, and there were only some records about him in books.
Therefore, during the period when Immortal Dust Sect was Grand Elder, no one noticed anything unusual about him, and no one doubted him.
But Wang Jingxing's shadow didn't expect that he also had a group of close friends like Zhang Wanzhi, which put his identity at risk of being exposed. In the end, he chose to fake his death and escape, and now he doesn't know where he is.
After a moment of silence, Chen Changsheng asked:
"What will happen to those entities that have changed their positions with you, Shadow World?"
Chen Changsheng They don't care where Wang Jingxing's shadow has gone now, they just want to know the whereabouts and current situation of Wang Jingxing.
A human immortal replied, "Don't worry, they will not be in danger, because even if they go to our world, they are still their true bodies and we are still their shadows. Once they die, we will die with them." "
Another Immortal also said, "But they will never have the chance to return to Xianyang in their lifetime. They will be immediately sent to Xianyang under house arrest. They can practice, but they will not have freedom."
Hearing such an answer, Chen Changsheng and others breathed a sigh of relief, with mixed feelings.
I'm happy that Wang Jingxing is still alive.
Worryingly, there is little hope of rescuing Wang Jingxing.
The shadows of Shadow World imprisoned these people from the Immortal Shade Realm and prevented them from entering Xianyang again, for fear that they would exchange with the shadows again and return to the Immortal Shade Realm.
As long as they are imprisoned outside Xianyang, there is no need to worry that they will change their shadows back again.
As for allowing them to continue practicing, it is because the shadow's Cultivation Level improvement depends on them.
The two immortals added, "Not everyone will be imprisoned. Some who are too strong can escape from the siege and move freely in our world. Therefore, all of our shadows who are lucky enough to come to the Immortal Shade Realm will try our best to avoid returning to the fairy shadow and prevent being exchanged back. Although this possibility is slim, we are still unwilling to take risks."
Li Xiuchang concluded. "In other words, if we want to rescue the person in Shadow World, we must find his shadow, send the shadow into the Immortal Shadow, and then ensure that his body is also in the Immortal Yang?"
"That's right." The two immortals nodded.
The senior brothers and sisters all frowned and remained silent.
Disaster!
It's so difficult!
It is very difficult to find the shadow of Wang Jingxing or to ensure that the body of Wang Jingxing enters Xianyang.
They did not give up, but they all knew that this was likely to be a protracted battle, and they could not act blindly. They needed to have a plan and think clearly.
Xia Siyun casually threw two antidotes into the mouths of the two immortals, helping them to undo the effect of Aphrodisiac Pills. The few people did not continue to interrogate their thoughts, and were ready to return to the Immortal Dust Sect immediately, and call Zhang Wanzhi back to discuss what to do.
"We have said what we need to say, can't you let us go?" the two immortals shouted.
Li Xiuchang put two Corpse Suppressing Talismans on their foreheads and said, "Stay in my Beast Taming Bag for now."
"We have no grudge against you, and we haven't done anything harmful to the world, so why are you doing this to us!" the two said angrily.
"Are you really innocent?" Li Xiuchang asked, "Because of you, the two of you left your family and friends and were imprisoned in the darkness. Don't you have any responsibility?"
"You have your misfortunes, but they are not the cause of your misfortunes. Why should they bear the price for your actions?"
The two were silent for a while.
Li Xiuchang added, "I was trying to reason with you just now, but in fact, most things in this world don't need to be explained by reason. I'm reasoning because I'm reasonable."
"The fact is that I am from the Immortal Shade Realm. When you want to replace us, you have already stood against me and become my enemy."
