Chapter 519: Convincing the Demon Ancestor, Xuanwei Peak
At the foot of Yinshan Mountain, outside the City of the Dead, the Buddha's light is dimmer than before, but still strong.
Lu Yao and the half-missing relic complement each other and persevere in infecting the underworld.
His eyes were shining with golden light and he kept looking around.
His expression was a little more doubtful than before.
It can be seen that he is somewhat afraid that Zheng Fa will take action again, and is even looking for Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa activated the Tian Gang Di Sha and transformed himself into light mist, blending in with the surrounding fog.
After the sword fight just now, he dared not underestimate Lu Yao anymore, knowing that if his whereabouts were exposed, he would be in serious trouble.
Lu Yaosi didn't see through Zheng Fa's disguise, but refused to give up. Instead, he murmured:
"Without form, there is nothing but illusion."
Amid the chanting, the Buddha's light emitted by the relics was lively and agile, falling into the mist.
The white mist, which was as thick as liquid just now, began to melt and drip as if snow met the scorching sun when it touched the Buddha's light.
Not very good.
Zheng Fa was anxious. After all, if the fog cleared, he would be conspicuous.
More importantly, he didn't know what this Buddha light was or what magical powers it had, so he didn't dare to touch it easily.
Before he could make any move, he heard the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor sneer, "Lu Yao, you really look down on me too much."
As soon as he finished speaking, thousands of ghosts in the City of the Dead cried together, and the sound of Yinshan Mountain was heartbreaking.
A thick aura of death spewed out from the city gate. In the black smoke, there were thousands and thousands of wronged souls, who were fighting for the relics.
These wronged souls were originally disciples of Tianhe, and most of them died in the civil strife of that year. It can be said that they died at the hands of Lu Yao. The resentment and hatred in their expressions at this moment are frightening.
Even though Lu Yao had experienced tribulations in three lifetimes, his face was serious at this moment and he was reciting scriptures loudly.
Zhitong's relics then flashed with a faint white light.
A white light fell on the black smoke, and the hundreds of wronged souls above it suddenly looked calm. They clasped their hands together and showed joy on their faces, as if they were about to be liberated.
A sneer flashed across Jiuyou Demon Ancestor's face, and he pointed his finger at the relic.
Those souls that seemed to be about to convert just now became hideous and resentful again.
"Rescue? The evil you committed in Tianhe Sect," the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor said sternly, "will never be erased in a hundred lifetimes!"
Lu Yao remained silent, but continued to recite Buddhist scriptures and confront the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
With the blessing of Xizhou's faith, he was able to stabilize his position.
On the contrary, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor seemed to have some breathing space, but he was like a rootless duckweed. If it dragged on, he would eventually be defeated.
…
"You should recover now. I will block him from finding you." The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor seemed to understand this and secretly sent a message to Zheng Fa, "Give him a few more swords later."
Obviously, he placed his hopes of a comeback on Zheng Fa.
But Zheng Fa did not do as he said, but said something he did not expect:
"I want to go to the Wanjian Realm."
"Ten Thousand Sword Realm?" The tone of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor turned cold, "Do you also want to find Tianhe's treasure?"
"yes."
There was a flash of ridicule in the eyes of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, and his words were full of thorns: "Seizing the sword formation and plotting against the secret treasure, you and them are cut from the same cloth. Now that the jade pendant has fallen into your hands..."
It can be seen that he regarded Zheng Fa and these monks from the four sects as the same kind of people.
Zheng Fa was not angry. After all, he had actually stolen someone else's battle formation diagram.
It is normal for the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor to have some opinions about himself.
"If you want to leave, then I can't guarantee that Lu Yao can find you."
"Why is it so?"
This is indeed a bit troublesome.
After various attempts, Zheng Fa's authority in the Zhuxian Sword Formation now exceeds that of Sect Leader Yan and others, but he is still not as good as the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
If the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor wanted to hold him back, it would be impossible for him to avoid Lu Yao.
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor just smiled, and the meaning in his expression was very clear - you retreated and left me behind to cover your retreat, and you think I, the Demon Ancestor, am a fool? He was afraid that he would slip away.
Zheng Fa really understands the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
Not only was this man afraid of being betrayed, he also wanted to snatch the Zhuxian Formation Map. If he hadn't been on guard against me, he would have never been able to escape the pursuit of the four sects over the years.
What's more, if he ran away, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor would definitely not be able to withstand Lu Yao. Since it was a matter of life and death, he would definitely be more cautious.
“In the Wanjian Realm, there may be the next step of Tianhe Law.”
The smile on the face of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor froze, his eyes were full of disbelief and excitement.
"Is the Tianhe Method...complete?"
“It’s just possible.”
"Are you sure?" asked the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor anxiously.
"without."
“…”
The corners of Jiuyou Demon Ancestor's mouth straightened and he stopped smiling.
Zheng Fa laughed secretly.
He just didn't believe that the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor would not take the bait.
"Then how do you know..."
Sure enough, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor couldn't help but ask again.
"I created the Huangting Sutra before..."
When Zheng Fa told Venerable Tianhe about his unusual behavior when he was transcending the tribulation, Demon Ancestor Jiuyou's eyes flickered, as if he was pondering.
"If Venerable Tianhe really left something behind, the Wanjian Realm is indeed suspicious."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor nodded slightly.
Zheng Fa added: "Even if there is no next step of Tianhe Law in it, I also want to use the treasures in it to recover as soon as possible, or even go further."
He saw that the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor's face was slightly moved, as if he had heard it, and then he said: "The previous success with one sword was due to the unexpected reason, but Lu Yao can't be completely unprepared again. He may even want to use the opponent's trick against him..."
"We need more than one sword, otherwise something unexpected will happen."
The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor's eyes flashed with deep thought, and it was obvious that he had been persuaded.
Zheng Fa always gave his enemies the benefit of the doubt, and he would never underestimate someone like Lu Yao.
Before, he was unethical and attacked the old man by surprise.
But it is not so easy to succeed again. Maybe an old monster like Lu Yao is still waiting for him.
Of course, the most important thing for the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor is the follow-up of the Tianhe Law.
The eyes of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor flickered, as if he was hesitating, not knowing whether he should believe Zheng Fa.
Zheng Fa was not in a hurry at all.
…
"The Tianhe Method is the last hope of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor."
In the Ziwei Palace of the Nine Mountains Realm, the Emperor of Heaven had a smile on his face that showed he was determined to win.
"The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor's current madness is firstly due to hatred, and secondly, the bigger reason is actually despair."
Senior Sister Zhang agreed, "He practices Tianhe Method. It will be very difficult for him to make progress in the future."
Xie Qingxue nodded sympathetically.
"If I want to go further, I have to wait for the Qingping Sword to advance. Now I can't find the direction at all. The Qingping Sword is only at the level of a Sanxian."
"The Book of Life and Death is a magical treasure of the Golden Immortal."
"It is a billion times more difficult to advance this kind of magic weapon than the Qingping Sword."
“Therefore, the sequel of Tianhe Law will probably be an irresistible temptation for the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.” The Emperor of Heaven said with a smile.
Looking at the struggling expression on the face of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor in the light curtain, everyone could predict his choice.
"Thank you, fairy. I'll trouble you to show me the way later."
The Emperor of Heaven was even more confident and directly asked Xie Qingxue for help.
Xie Qingxue nodded immediately, her eyes still fixed on the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, and suddenly asked: "Master, did you deliberately want to go to the Ten Thousand Swords Realm first?"
"Yes." In front of so many people from the Jiushan Sect, the Emperor did not hide anything. "Although we joined forces because of Lu Yao, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor and we are not the same kind of people."
He sympathized with the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, but was also very wary of him.
To be honest, even if he could kill Lu Yao with one sword now, Zheng Fa would still hesitate: he was afraid that without Lu Yao, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor would turn against him.
This Demon Ancestor is not an easy person to deal with, not to mention, the conflict of interest between the two is obvious.
Even the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor might have seen through some of his thoughts, which was why he was unwilling to let Zheng Fa go out into the battle.
Therefore, Zheng Facai had to use the sequel of Tianhe Fa to lure out the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
Zheng Fa’s idea was very simple: if the Tianhe Method really had a follow-up, then he would have a better chance of success whether he tried to persuade the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor or even discuss cooperation.
If not, he would have to make other plans, at least be prepared to turn against the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor.
On the Yin Mountain, the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor was silent for a long time, and finally spoke:
"I believe you this time."
Zheng Fa was delighted. To be honest, it was not easy to gain the little trust of the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor: This Demon Ancestor had been badly cheated before.
I'm afraid I have to thank Lu Yao.
He knew the situation was urgent, so he didn't delay and flew out of the sword formation.
The spiritual energy in the sword formation is as rich as water.
Countless talismans passed by his eyes like swimming fish.
A string of "bubbles" appeared in front of him from time to time. The "bubbles" were deep and dark, and seemed to lead directly to another space.
This is the spatial branch in the Zhu Xian Sword Formation. If you encounter it, you will be trapped in the formation immediately and unable to escape.
But as he swam along, these small bubbles avoided him, as if they were deliberately letting him go.
Zheng Fa himself is actually not afraid of these things - after all, he is now the second in command of the Zhu Xian Formation.
But this scene shows that the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor is indeed willing to let him leave.
He looked towards the sword formation. The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor did not look at him. Instead, he was concentrating on fighting against the Buddha's light, as if trying to buy time for Zheng Fa.
…
"The location of the Ten Thousand Swords Realm is 800 miles northeast of Tianhe Zufeng."
In the Nine Mountains Realm, Xie Qingxue pointed the way.
There was another light curtain in the Heavenly Palace, and in the light curtain was the flying Zheng Fa.
The two parties are having a video call.
But in the blink of an eye, Zheng Fa stopped moving and looked forward.
In front of him was a row of towering mountains, which were one after another and thousands of feet high. They were all covered with steep cliffs, like a wall, blocking Zheng Fa's way forward.
"This is the Yunduan Mountain Range. According to rumors, it is the pinnacle of Dongzhou."
Xie Qingxue introduced.
Zheng Fa couldn't help but look forward.
The Tianhe Sect is located in the northeast corner of Dongzhou, and the Yunduan Mountain is also in the northeast corner of the Tianhe Sect.
Speaking of which, it is indeed the northeasternmost corner of Dongzhou.
"The Ten Thousand Swords Realm is in the Yunduan Mountains?"
"The Wanjian Realm is outside Dongzhou. No, it is above Dongzhou. We have to cross the Yunduan Mountains."
After listening to Xie Qingxue's explanation, Zheng Fa's body turned into rainbow light and flew towards the Yunduan Mountains.
But just as he flew to the top of a mountain, a familiar fetal membrane appeared in front of Zheng Fa.
"Heaven and earth fetal membrane?"
It was as if he had hit a steel plate and could no longer move forward.
Zheng Fa turned around and landed at the foot of the mountain again, frowning.
In the Nine Mountains Realm, Xie Qingxue couldn't help but laugh.
"It is the fetal membrane of heaven and earth." She explained, "I heard from my master that the Ten Thousand Swords Realm was not originally here, but the founder placed the Ten Thousand Swords Realm here."
"Therefore, the Ten Thousand Swords Realm is blocked by the fetal membrane of heaven and earth. No one can enter except the incarnation of the gods of my Tianhe Sect."
Zheng Fa understood a little bit.
The Ten Thousand Swords Realm is not in the Xuanwei Realm now? Back then, Venerable Tianhe somehow got this thing outside the fetal membrane of heaven and earth, and opened a back door for the disciples of the Tianhe Sect.
I also know how the four sects prepared to enter the Ten Thousand Swords Realm.
It seems quite troublesome.
But for Zheng Fa, this matter was too simple!
The magic formula in his body changed and he started to operate according to the "Trapping Immortal Sword Classic". His whole body had a steep back and a sharp temperament. He looked more like a disciple of Tianhe Sect than those of Tianhe Sect. He was the pride of Haori Mountain and a loyal disciple of Tianhe in Tianhe Sect. He followed the local customs.
Sure enough, the spell turned into "The Immortal Sword Sutra" and the Duanyun Mountains in front of him suddenly changed.
White clouds flew from the top of the mountain to the feet of Zheng Fa, connected to each other and forming steps.
The steps lead to the end of the Broken Cloud Mountains, deep into the void with no end in sight.
"Go up the steps and you will see the entrance to the Ten Thousand Swords Realm."
After hearing what Xie Qingxue said, Zheng Fa raised his foot and climbed up the stairs step by step.
First, there was a strong wind blowing all around, the clouds were dancing wildly, and there was a constant whistling sound.
Later, the weather became sunny and windy, without a single cloud in sight, and it was extremely quiet.
He walked higher and higher, and gradually stepped on the thousand-foot cliff of Duanyun Mountains.
Looking forward, I saw a two-person-high archway vaguely visible on the membrane of heaven and earth that was originally as solid as a solid wall of steel.
Can this get us outside the Xuanwei Realm?
Zheng Fa took a deep breath, feeling a little excited.
He has always been very curious about what is outside the Xuanwei Realm.
But he was unable to walk out of the membrane of heaven and earth, and was afraid of the stars in the sky, so he gained nothing.
I originally came here to look for the treasures of Tianhe, but who would have thought that I could suddenly walk out of this membrane of heaven and earth?
He calmed himself down, became more alert, and walked into the archway.
dark.
It was as if someone had suddenly covered his eyes.
For a moment, everything went dark before his eyes and he could not see anything.
The imagined stars, ancient immortals, and even various dangers did not appear.
The Ten Thousand Swords Realm is also nowhere to be seen.
Looking at the darkness in the video call, Senior Sister Zhang was confused: "What is this?"
Xie Qingxue's expression was somewhat heavy. She didn't say anything, but just stared at the light screen, as if waiting.
…
Zheng Fa only felt that the spiritual power of "The Immortal Sword" in his body suddenly started to operate on its own.
As his spiritual power fluctuated, a buzzing sound was heard in the darkness.
A light came on.
Two lights came on.
Three, four, thousands of rays of light pierced the darkness.
Look at the scene in front of you.
Zheng Fa standing here is also good.
So are Senior Sister Zhang and others in the Nine Mountains Realm.
They were all stunned and speechless: In front of Zheng Fa was a huge peak, which was higher than any mountain he had ever seen.
The bottom of the mountain seemed to penetrate deep into the fetal membrane and merge into one with the Duanyun Mountains.
The top of the mountain, however, pierced straight into the darkness and could not be seen at all.
But this was not enough to stun Zheng Fa.
What left him speechless were the immortal swords embedded in the mountain walls.
The dazzling light just now was actually the sword light emitted by these immortal swords themselves.
The quality of these flying swords varies, some are only at the level of magic weapons, while others seem to be spiritual treasures.
They are embedded in the mountain wall in rows and columns.
What is even more eye-catching is that on each immortal sword, there is a name written on the blade near the hilt.
"These people are..."
Xie Qingxue was silent for a while before she spoke: "These are the disciples who died when Tianhe Sect unified Xuanwei."
“…”
“No one knows when the ancestors placed their flying swords here.”
Looking at the flying swords in front of him, Zheng Fa seemed to see the vast waves of the last era before his eyes.
Sometimes he would always think that the atmosphere in Tianhe Sect must have been good back then, otherwise the Nine Nether Demon Ancestor, who was not born in Tianhe, would not miss it so much or even hate it so much.
"The height of this peak should be the highest peak in the universe. In my Tianhe Sect, we call it Tongtian Sword Peak."
"To me, it's a tombstone."
Xie Qingxue spoke in a low voice, but everyone listened quietly without making a sound.
"Ancestor, the tombstones erected for those predecessors."
