Chapter 588: Past Events
Three thousand years ago, countless lives were lost and Xuan Yue was defeated. Although the emperor's daughter sacrificed herself to save the people, Xuan Yue was still at a disadvantage.
As if it weren't bad enough, after the emperor's daughter died, the sword immortal also died.
The Demon Lord at that time calculated that Xuan Yue’s spiritual energy would be thin in the future, and high-level cultivators would be rare.
Unfortunately, Demon Lord and his companions were plotted against while fighting against alien races, and their souls were contaminated with the alien aura, destined to not live beyond three thousand years.
In order to maintain their combat effectiveness, Demon Lord, Demon Lord and Sword Immortal's eldest disciple Xi Yan joined forces to seize the authority of Heaven from the alien race. They used the authority of Heaven as a means to conceal their own breath, fake their death, and use their split souls to enter the world and cleanse their souls.
Because their souls were polluted, Xi Yan and others, as the controllers of power, had to place power on the sword spirit of the magic sword, and only at the cost of the sword spirit could they open the formation and enter the world.
For this reason, the sword spirit must follow into the world, but the moment the formation disappears, the sword spirit will also leave with the authority of heaven and be used to repair the sky.
Among them, in order to ensure the success rate, the cause and effect of the Demon Lord's punishment was borne by one of his subordinates. For the past three thousand years, he has been a livestock, used, slaughtered and eaten by humans.
At the same time, the Demon Lord drew out his own cultivation and used the authority of Heaven to split his soul.
A drop of the demon lord's blood and soul entered the world together.
Xi Yan is the most special. He is the least polluted and can enter the world with his soul intact, without being targeted by the laws of nature.
When the split soul/spirit becomes a venerable one, it is the opportunity for the formation to end.
If the formation fails, the main body will die and the soul will dissipate.
If the formation is successful, the main body will wake up and the split soul will disappear like raindrops into the sea.
The only one who could be guaranteed to survive from beginning to end was Xi Yan, and this was because he was the least polluted, and the Xijing Sword shared part of the cost for him.
This past was like a mirage, flashing before Tao Zi's eyes.
She didn't look at Xuan Yue, but every scene of Xuan Yue appeared in her mind.
the situation on battlefields in various places;
Anxious Cheng Wuchou and others;
The awakened Demon Lord and Demon Lord;
The sword spirit of Xijing Sword, who has lost his emotions again;
…
Tao Zi stretched out her hand, and the ball of light appeared in her palm again.
There is a portion of the authority of heaven here.
It can't even be called authority, because Tao Zi cannot use its power and can only prevent it from returning to the way of heaven.
But it is enough to slow down the speed at which Xi Jing and the other two's consciousness disappear.
As long as we can extract their consciousness before they die, we can save our lives.
After closing her eyes and opening them again, Tao Zi had returned to the ground, and the aura of heaven was rapidly dissipating from her body.
Cheng Wuchou looked at Tao Zi now and couldn't even speak.
He has a compassionate temperament, but when he looks at everyone, there is an indescribable sense of distance.
A strange mixture.
I always feel like she is his sister, but not necessarily.
Tao Zi stood up, and the aura of heaven silently pointed to Xi Yan and the other two not far away.
With the help of Heaven's power, at least one of them can be killed.
Old Man Wen's face changed drastically, but he didn't dare to say anything and silently took a few steps back.
The Demon Lord had a familiar yet unfamiliar face. He smiled gently and politely, saying, "Zhao Xue is the child of my soul. If I die, he will die too."
The Demon Lord didn't say anything.
Xi Yan was straightforward and decisive. He handed over the Xijing Sword and said, "Since Xi Jing has feelings, she is no longer Xijing. I wish she could live."
Xi Jing's problem is easy to solve. As long as we find a way to postpone the time for the soul to repair the sky until the repair of the way of heaven is completed, there will naturally be no such thing as repairing the sky. As for the additional price to be paid, it will naturally be borne by these three people.
Tao Zi took the sword, looked at Yao Zun and the others, and said concisely: "Swear."
The three of them were straightforward and swore an oath without blinking.
If Yueshan and others do not survive, they will also pay with their lives.
After confirming that the oath worked, Tao Zi no longer insisted.
The aura of heaven disappeared in an instant, and Tao Zi's own strength continued to decline.
He fell from the Out-of-Body Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage.
But the evil spirit also dissipated without a trace.
Tao Zi felt her head go blank, and then she fainted.
Cheng Wuchou rushed over to support him, and his eyes looked towards Xi Yan with an imperceptible vigilance.
Xing Zhan and others also walked forward.
Old Man Wen came forward and said, "Take Xiao Zi back and let her rest first."
After watching Tao Zi and the others leave, the Demon Lord finally spoke: "I originally thought that seizing the authority of the Heavenly Dao and secretly crossing Chencang was bold enough, but I didn't expect that the Emperor's daughter was the craziest one."
The Demon Lord said expressionlessly, "She is not crazy, it is her residual soul that is crazy."
The Demon Lord sighed softly, no one knew what he was sighing about. When he opened his mouth, he spoke of something completely unrelated: "The Earth Soul had already forced us to sign a contract, insisting that we preserve our consciousness. This little girl killed the sky, so she should know about it. Why is she doing this again?"
The Demon Lord sneered, "If you were her, would you trust the Earth Spirit? Don't you think about her past and the stupidity of her master?"
Old man Wen next to him had a dark face, but he had nothing to say about this matter.
Xi Yan looked at the two Demon Lords and said in a graver tone, "Please be careful with your words, both of you."
They stopped talking, and just then Jian Zong came over to ask someone to come over for a discussion.
…
Tao Zi woke up slowly, feeling a familiar feeling.
She was stunned for a while, thinking that she had fainted too many times in recent years.
Xing Zhan next to him had already skillfully prepared the water cup.
Cheng Anran watched eagerly in the corner.
After Tao Zi had obviously recovered, she dared to move over slowly and opened her mouth to ask, but she didn't dare.
Tao Zi knew what she wanted to ask and said, "It'll be fine. Xi Jing and the others will be back."
Cheng Anran finally breathed a sigh of relief. Judging from her red and swollen eyes, she must have cried a lot during this period.
Tao Zi closed her eyes tiredly.
Extracting this strand of soul consciousness will have a great impact on the Demon Lord and others. Their strength will most likely drop from the Heavenly Lord level to the Out-of-Body Stage or even the Nascent Soul Stage. If they are not careful, they will never be able to ascend to the immortal realm in this lifetime.
But they must ascend. Only when they leave this world can they become truly independent adults, except Xi Jing.
All this can only be done after dealing with the alien race.
