The entire spacious secret room has turned into ruins. The once solid marble walls are now covered in flying stone chips, falling like snowflakes.

Every inch of space was filled with a strong smell of blood, like a surging sea of ​​blood.

In the melee between the four supreme grandmasters, even if this secret room was made of several layers of marble and was extremely hard, it would not be able to withstand such a powerful force.

However, the location of this secret room is also extremely remote.

The four of them are already the strongest in Jiangnan, and with such a commotion, it is impossible for anyone else to intervene.

All four chose to fight to the death, not just because they had no way to escape.

It is because they also understand that now may be the only opportunity to break through the realm of heaven and man.

As time passed, the sounds of fierce fighting and begging for mercy gradually subsided, leaving only dead silence.

From the ruins, a figure slowly crawled out, covered in blood and wounds.

Standing on the ruins, he looked up to the sky and laughed loudly, going crazy to the extreme.

This person is of course Nangong Xuan, who is the youngest, has the highest talent, and has better luck, so he became the winner.

He couldn't wait to start using his secret technique, devouring the souls and skills of the other three people.

If an ordinary supreme grandmaster dies, his soul will quickly dissipate without a body.

The power of heaven and earth is wrapped in the soul. When the soul dissipates, the power of heaven and earth will naturally return to heaven and earth.

It is also impossible for other people to refine and absorb this kind of thing.

But after practicing this secret method, the soul becomes a cauldron.

If one dies, the soul will disappear, but it can be absorbed using specific secret methods.

In this way, the energy of heaven and earth can be integrated.

At this time, Nangong Xuan had already absorbed the energy of heaven and earth from the three people according to the secret method.

This sudden feeling of becoming powerful made him unable to extricate himself, as if he was floating in the air.

“It seems that Zhao Qi asked us to practice this technique in order to absorb us.

But who knew such an accident would happen, and it really is a blessing and a curse that go hand in hand with me."

But it is obvious that the power of heaven and earth of these three people is not enough to break through to the supreme grandmaster and reach the level of a celestial being.

Nangong Xuan, who absorbed the power of the three people, also obtained the next step of the skills.

That is to say, it is necessary to practice "The Complete Scripture of the Way of the Saints of Heaven and Earth" after swallowing the cauldron and reaching the peak of the supreme grandmaster.

This is an extremely complete set of skills. The skills that Nangong Xuan has obtained now are even more complete than those obtained by the third prince.

According to this book, if one wants to transcend, one not only needs to reach the limit of the energy of heaven and earth, but also resonate with the way of heaven and earth.

The "Complete Scripture of the Way of the Saints of Heaven and Earth" is about treating all things as straw dogs, treating all living beings as straw dogs, eliminating emotions and desires, and this is the way to achieve enlightenment.

Thinking of this, regardless of whether this technique was real or not, Nangong Xuan had no other choice.

As the master of Jiangnan, although he seems to be in a glorious position, he has been forced into a desperate situation.

Now that the decision had been made, he flew to the Nangong family’s residence.

Soon, a steward met Nangong Xuan and asked respectfully, "Grandfather, is there anything I can do for you?"

Nangong Xuan sat on the chair at the front of the ancestral hall. There were two chairs at the top, which were reserved for the two supreme masters of the Nangong family. But at the moment, there was only one person sitting on it.

The Nangong family was originally the strongest among the three major families, not for any other reason but because it had two supreme grandmasters.

But now, of the four people from the three major families, only Nangong Xuan is alive.

Nangong Xuan took off his bloodstained clothes and put on a dark robe with a cold temperament.

He waved his hand gently and said in a low voice, "Go, summon all the descendants of the Nangong family, no matter where they are, to the ancestral hall."

Although the housekeeper didn't know what happened, the news of the third prince's death had not yet reached his ears, and he didn't know that their Nangong family was already on the edge of the cliff.

However, he still firmly carried out Nangong Xuan's orders. Naturally, there was no way he would delay the ancestor's orders.

Soon, all the Nangong family members, whether they were direct descendants or disciples from other branches, were called to the ancestral hall.

Some of the younger generations were also whispering, "Why did our ancestors ask us to come here? I heard that the imperial court is going to take action against our three major families in Jiangnan?"

"How is that possible? The Third Prince is my cousin, and the court and we are as close as family.

How could they possibly attack our Nangong family? Besides, they just helped the imperial court to destroy Buddhism, so how could such a thing happen? "

Another person shook his head in objection, saying that it was just some rumors and how could he believe it.

After hearing this, one person also echoed: "Yes, the two ancestors are both supremely powerful, even His Majesty the Emperor has to give them some face.

No matter what happens, our ancestors are here for us, so why should we be afraid? "

"I..." Another person was about to say something, but was interrupted by an elder: "Shut up and listen to what the ancestor has to say."

Nangong Xuan saw these young people, many of whom he had watched grow up.

I also understood what the so-called elimination of emotions and desires meant. If one wants to achieve enlightenment, one must cut off everything.

He also thought that even if he didn't take action, these people would not be able to survive and would be wiped out by the imperial court sooner or later.

Being a slave at that time is not much better than dying with dignity now.

If I do it myself, and I can become a god, I can help them get revenge.

But when he thought about it, Nangong Xuan realized that he had found too many excuses. If he wanted to eliminate all emotions and desires, how could he have these excuses?

In the end, I still softened my heart. If I want to cut off my lust, I naturally need to cut off these things that I am attached to.

Seeing that Nangong Xuan didn't say anything, someone below asked respectfully, "Father, except for those who are not in Jiangnan, all the children of the Nangong family are here. I wonder if you have any instructions?"
