Chapter 72 Cutting off the cause and effect of the Heavenly Dao
Tian Chanzi was surprised, and his expression became complicated. Zhou An continued: "At first I thought I was the only disciple of the Heavenly Dao Sect. The Divine Beggar asked me to rebuild the mountain gate, so I asked the Jinyiwei to join the Heavenly Dao Sect and find a place to rebuild the mountain gate in the future."
Tian Chanzi suddenly laughed out loud, put away the Demon-Slaying Sword and the Bright Moon Wheel, leaving only the Taoist robe on his body emitting purple light to protect himself.
Zhou An stopped attacking and let the Void Wheel surround Tian Chanzi. Hua Wu Yue raised his sword finger, and Tian Chanzi was surrounded by countless petals, leaving him nowhere to run.
Tian Chanzi smiled, unmoved, took off his Taoist robe, slowly folded it, put everything into the treasure bag, placed it on the ground, and sat down cross-legged.
“I can’t go back. I didn’t make it through the sixth level of heavenly tribulation. My master raised me and taught me martial arts. My fellow disciples and elders were all very kind to me. They are all my relatives.
The demons and evil forces were afraid of us, the Seven Sons of Heaven, and they plotted against them many times. They died one by one, without even leaving their souls.
In order to seek revenge, the master fell into their trap and was killed, and even the sect leader's most precious treasure, the Heavenly Dao Mirror, was taken away.
As a result, the Tiandao Sect was unable to fight against the Demon Sect and was destroyed by the evil demons. I escaped the disaster because I was guarding the Demon Cave in the back mountain.
Later, I found out that the third brother was still alive. Because the food was delicious, he arrived a few minutes late and survived, becoming the Godly Beggar. I know that even if the third brother had gone, the result would have been the same.
He couldn't forgive himself and didn't dare to return to the sect. I met him several times but he avoided me. I knew his heart was on the verge of collapse, so I came up with a plan to force the third senior brother to take on the responsibility of inheriting the sect.
Just destroy the mountain gate and let him think that he is the only one left in Tiandao Sect. This way he will not live in a muddle-headed state anymore.
And I can let go of everything and pursue revenge. At that time, the Golden Robe found me, and under his guidance, I found the seven treasures left by my master.
During the sixth heavenly tribulation, I could not let go of my hatred no matter what. It had already eroded my heart. I used the secret method of the golden robe to seal the inner demon, and outsiders thought I had survived the sixth heavenly tribulation.
The decline of Tiandao Sect is a demon in the hearts of my senior brother and I that I cannot get over. Since my senior brother chose you, I can only trust him. From now on, Tiandao Sect will be handed over to you. I admire you for having achieved such success in a short period of time.
If possible, pass on the title of emperor of the mortal world to someone else, otherwise your future path will be more difficult than you can imagine. "After Tian Chanzi finished speaking, he showed a look of relief, looked up at the sky, smiled and said: "Junior brother, help me to resolve the problem."
Zhou An and Hua Wu Yue looked at each other, and Zhou An said, "If you give up cooperating with Jin Pao, I can spare your life."
Tian Chanzi shook his head and smiled, saying, "The hatred of my master has made me possessed. It was the golden robe who used a secret method to suppress the inner demon. I have discovered that the longer the inner demon is suppressed, the stronger the explosion will be. It won't be long before the inner demon breaks free from the seal, and I will be completely transformed into a demon. It is better to start over and cut off the cause and effect of this life."
Seeing Zhou An's expression, Tian Chanzi continued, "I know what you want to ask. I don't know the true identity of the man in gold robe, I only know that he is a powerful person of the righteous way.
Emperor Qianyuan and I are just his pawns. The battle between good and evil is just the beginning. The Western Regions should not be underestimated. Okay, I've told you everything I know. Come on."
Zhou An nodded, and with a thought, the Void Wheel flew down and beheaded Tian Chanzi. His soul flew out and disappeared into the sky.
Zhou An put away Tian Chanzi's magic bag and used the sun's true fire to turn Tian Chanzi's body into ashes, which then scattered with the wind.
"Did the imperial palace really encounter an attack by demons?" Hua Wu Yue asked worriedly.
"Yes, but it's very lively over there now. The King of Ten Thousand Demons and his brothers and sisters are having a great time. Plus with the Four Symbols Formation of the Four Void Immortals, there's no need for us to worry." Zhou An smiled when he thought of the situation over there.
The Golden Robe controlled the ministers to convey the message, knowing that he was planning a conspiracy and forcing him to choose between Madam Baihua and the Imperial Palace. Unfortunately, the Golden Robe did not expect that there were four traitors among the old monsters he found, and Zhou An had already known about the actions of the monster clan.
So this time he took advantage of the situation and deliberately fell into the trap. He had intended to use this opportunity to remove the golden robe. Even if he couldn't kill him, he could find out his identity so that he could fight him openly.
I didn't expect this guy's life-saving magic was so powerful. But the harvest this time was also good. I released Tian Chanzi's weapon, obtained all seven treasures of Tiandao, and the treasure bag left by Tian Chanzi, which is enough for the Tiandao Sect to rise again.
"Why do you always say something that I can't understand? What do you mean by so excited?" Hua Wu Yue frowned. She was really puzzled by Zhou An's occasional incomprehensible words.
"They are celebrating New Year and gathering together. It's very lively. The sky is full of magic weapons, and we don't have to spend money on fireworks." Zhou An smiled. He was in a very good mood because of his rich harvest today.
"Since everything is fine, let's go quickly and find our master as soon as possible to avoid any complications." Hua Wu Yue said.
"Yeah," Zhou An nodded, and the two of them flew into the forest on their swords.
The Phoenix Forest is very large, almost as large as a province on Earth. Ordinary people simply cannot enter the depths of the forest on foot.
Moreover, various ferocious beasts and many monsters live there. Not to mention ordinary people, even acquired warriors dare not enter easily.
Zhou An and Hua Wu Yue flew on their swords and landed deep in the woods. It was already midnight and the forest was pitch black with only a few insects and plants emitting faint fluorescence.
Zhou An has magical pupils that are not restricted by darkness. Hua Wu Yue is a flower spirit who can use plants to sense her surroundings.
As soon as the two came down, Zhou An received the sign-in information and obtained phoenix tail grass, a very rare material for alchemy.
"This Phoenix Forest is too big. Judging from the image in the Xuanguan mirror, it should be the location of the underground fire eye. There must be an entrance to the fire eye here." Zhou An said.
"I'll do it." Hua Wu Yue sat on the grass with her hands on the ground. The flowers and plants around her moved slightly closer to her, as if whispering to her.
After a while she opened her eyes, stood up and said, "I found it."
Zhou An followed her and flew to a small hill in the center of the forest. There was an inconspicuous cave at the bottom of the hill, only one meter high. It was covered with unknown vines, on which small white fruits grew, emitting an unpleasant smell.
"The flowers here tell me that it is inside, but the temperature inside is very high and no plants grow, so I have no idea what's going on inside," said Hua Wu Yue.
"Let's go in and take a look first. Time is running out and your master can't hold on for too long." Zhou An took the lead and walked inside. The Sun Qiankun Pearl appeared in the palm of his left hand, ready to defend against emergencies at any time.
Hua Wu Yue did the same, holding the Yue Qiankun Pearl in his left hand, and followed behind.
The entrance of this passage is relatively narrow at about ten meters. After entering the vertical underground passage, it starts to get bigger. The two of them flew to the bottom in their own light and could already feel the temperature rising rapidly. It was definitely not a temperature that ordinary people could survive in.
The rocks here have turned red, the air is filled with the smell of sulfur and various toxic substances. If ordinary people come here, despite the high temperature, the poisonous gas alone can be fatal.
The two entered under the protection of the Sun and Moon Universe Pearl and saw an underground palace inside with several people in red armor guarding outside.
Zhou An signaled Hua Wu Yue to follow him without making any sound, his eyes flashed purple, and then he walked straight over.
The people guarding the entrance to the underground palace pretended not to see anything and let the two men walk past them and enter the underground palace.
This is the effect of the phantom demon pupil, which can make people hallucinate.
The underground palace is filled with female cultivators, whose cultivation bases are not high, all of them are in the acquired realm, and they all practice fire-based techniques.
After searching around the underground palace, Zhou An signed in everywhere and obtained fire-type refining materials and a Molten Fire Pill. It would be beneficial for those who practiced fire-type skills, but it would be poison to others.
After walking through the underground palace, Hua Wu Yue still couldn't find the fire eye in the Xuan Guang mirror. She became a little anxious. Nearly two hours had passed since she found out. She was afraid that her master couldn't bear it and would be drained of his energy and die.
“Don’t worry, the picture transmitted by the Mysterious Light Mirror shows Madam Baihua refining the sword, and the Fire Eye, which should be deeper underground, and the entrance must be hidden.
This kind of entrance should be relatively secretive or guarded by someone. The women who are practicing in the room should all be disciples, so these people's rooms must be ruled out.
The only things left now are the room we are in and the chamber we just visited."
As soon as Zhou An finished speaking, Hua Wu Yue said, "Then I'll go look for it in the bedroom."
"Don't worry. If it's a hidden formation, it can't be hidden from the Spiritual Demon Eyes. So there must be a trap here. If you don't understand these, it's useless to go there. On the contrary, you might be discovered. Leave it to me."
After comforting Hua Wu Yue, he observed the two rooms based on what he had learned about Qi Men Dun Jia, and used his true Qi to detect the thickness of the stones and the connecting gaps. He soon found the secret passage in the room where they had just been.
But there was really no time to find the mechanism, so Zhou An directly used the Emperor's Sword to cut the stone door open.
After entering, I continued walking down for nearly 500 meters and saw a huge underground cave. There was lava below and I could only fly over it with a sword.
In the distance, from a fire eye, one could see the two swords stuck in the lava. Madam Baihua was hanging on iron chains, still absorbing essence, indicating that she was still alive.
Just as Zhou An was about to go over to save them, Hua Wu Yue stopped him and said, "There is a formation. I've heard about this formation from my master before. It uses the Fire Eye at the center of the Earth as the center of the formation, and the surrounding lava as the source of power.
If we get close, we will be attacked by the Earth's Core Fire. If we force our way through it, it will cause an explosion of Earth's Core Fire, destroying the entire Phoenix Forest. By then, billions of lives will be killed or injured, and the cause and effect of all this will be blamed on us, bringing punishment from the heavens. This is a formation that will end in mutual destruction."
