Chapter 74 Chapter 74 Is your father your biological father?
The reason why Xuntian Realm is named Xuntian is because in ancient times, there would be strange phenomena when entering this realm, which was called "climbing the stars and entering Kuidou".
Only a handful of practitioners in the world can achieve great perfection at this level, with their spirits and souls roaming the sky once, observing countless stars and further comprehending the laws of nature.
When Bai Lu first entered the sect, she heard that Huo Xuexiang was the youngest person to achieve this vision.
Now it was Bai Lu's turn. He could vaguely feel that his soul had left his body, or he seemed to be just lost in thought on the spot. A faint light was cast into the vastness, and a dazzling sea of stars emerged. The flowing nebulae swallowed up the way of nature.
Looking down, the earth is vast and everything seems so small. But Bai Lu can feel that the earth network is also emerging faintly. From his perspective as the descendant of the Green Emperor, the connection between the sky and the earth is even more mysterious and interesting.
The network of stars and the earth is eternal and vast, and they seem to be changing, causing the great changes in the world and triggering the alternation of the red dust... Bai Lu seemed to have caught a glimpse of the mystery and could not extricate herself.
Until her body suddenly fell down and the vision ended, Bai Lu suddenly woke up, still feeling shocked.
Looking up, Huo Xuexiang had returned without him noticing, half-crouching beside him with a sword in hand. Seeing that he was awake, he smiled slightly and asked, "Did you break through?"
"...So exciting." Bai Lu slowly came back to his senses and immediately described the wonders of the sky survey. He still didn't know whether his soul really ascended to the sky, or he just went to the sky to observe the world from another perspective.
My heart was surging with emotions, as if many more insights were emerging, but they were difficult to describe in words for the moment.
Bai Lu couldn't help but savor the aftertaste.
Yan Changming on the side was dumbfounded. He looked around and found that except for himself, everyone else could be said to be calm, or even numb.
Only Pei Zhaoting immediately said, "Congratulations, Brother Bai, for breaking through the realm and achieving the vision of climbing the stars and entering the Kuidou."
Even Chao Tianzi, who always loved to brag, was surprisingly indifferent at this moment. He just clapped his hands a few times and said, "Hahaha, congratulations, master! You are worthy of being my master!"
This made Yan Changming feel helpless as if he couldn't find his companions... He could only point at Bai Lu and say in vain: "You, what kind of evil cultivator are you? Why were you able to break through three levels in a row after we separated?!"
When they first met, Bai Lu's realm was still so low that even with the title of Sword Master's successor, he had no interest in challenging him. But now his cultivation has surpassed his.
This person has only been practicing for two years? ?
Evil cultivator, absolutely pure evil cultivator, purer than Yan Changming.
"Don't panic. There are reasons for this." Bai Lu comforted him. She had a magical weapon in her hand, and she also combined Chinese and Western cultures. She was also a hard-working academic master in her hometown. Now it was just that the systems were interconnected.
But he couldn't explain it so clearly to a captive like Yan Changming, so for the sake of everyone's feelings, he comforted him: "I am a genius after all."
Yan Changming: “…………”
Who isn't a genius? He has reached the realm of listening to thunder before he is even a hundred years old. Who wouldn't be impressed?
Yan Changming was in a trance for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, "I know, because of the Green Emperor Jue! The Green Emperor Jue contains a method that can allow the Wood Clan to directly ascend to a higher realm. Have you already transformed into half of the Wood Clan, so you can use it? Or are there other techniques in it?"
"Well, even if there is, can I tell you? You are a demon cultivator, so stop talking nonsense." Ning Yanhu casually stuffed a piece of bread that Bai Lu took out to serve everyone with tea into his mouth.
“Hmm…” Yan Changming glanced at him resentfully and chewed his tongue.
Bai Lu was still digesting what he had seen and heard during his survey. His comprehension of the earth's networks was much deeper than that of ordinary people. The more he examined what he had just gained from his survey, the more it seemed like something was wrong.
Logically speaking, the stars in the sky and the earth correspond to each other, and there is an influence in the dark, but why does he feel a little awkward...
If you look at one side alone, you can't tell at all, but when you compare them together, there's an awkward feeling like one piece of a puzzle doesn't fit.
At this time, Huo Xuexiang saw that Bai Lu had stabilized and said, "I looked around and found this growing here."
He opened his hands, and in his hands was a dark purple flower with overlapping petals that were enchantingly gorgeous.
When the others saw this, they all gasped, especially Yan Changming, whose face changed drastically.
Bai Lu looked around and asked weakly, "...What are you guys hissing about?"
Can you let him feel a little involved? He really can't recognize this flower.
"This is the Soul-Falling Flower, which only grows in the Netherworld, unless ghosts bring it into the human world." Yan Changming was born in the Tianyan Sect. He had come into contact with countless soul cultivators and underworld cultivators, so he knew it very well.
Jintingzhou is now full of ghosts, so it's not surprising that the Soul-Falling Flower appears. But Huo Xuexiang just said that it grew. Did the ghosts transplant the Soul-Falling Flower here? How can the human landform nourish the Soul-Falling Flower?
Ning Yanhu had an outrageous guess: "Those ghosts and monsters are endless, and we have been wondering what kind of formation can summon millions of ghost soldiers. Could it be...
“Could it be that this is not a spell to summon ghosts, but Jin Tingzhou has managed to merge this place with a part of the Netherworld? Or in other words, what Jin Tingzhou summoned was not the Netherworld ghosts, but the entire Netherworld!”
So this place is somewhat similar to Jintingzhou, but it is not Jintingzhou at all? This is really hell on earth!
"When I was surveying the sky just now, I vaguely felt that there was a slight mismatch between the earth's network and the stars in the sky. Could it be because of this?" Bai Lu widened her eyes.
"This is... what a great power!" You Yue exhaled, "Change nature, I've only heard of ancient great powers moving mountains and filling the sea, changing the climate, this is probably not much different, right?"
The word "great power" brought back Bai Lu's memory. The nightmare ghost caught in Shenguan Bay also boasted the same thing. No wonder it was so confident.
Moving the entire underworld here would be truly amazing.
Everyone present was shocked by this legendary magic and could not recover for a long time.
Pei Zhaoting said firmly: "Then we must break this magic and return the netherworld to its place, otherwise, the ghosts and monsters will be slain endlessly!"
Fortunately, those who were able to join this team were all elites in the world of immortal cultivation. Everyone was just amazed at having such power, and at this time, a sense of mission also rose in their hearts. The stronger they were, the more they had to overthrow this powerful evil force!
"Yes, put the Netherworld back in place and drive back all the ghosts."
"Jin Tingzhou's conspiracy has been ruined!"
"Die, demon cultivator!" Bai Lu was also infected and her blood was boiling. She raised her staff, but when she retracted the long staff, she accidentally hit Yan Changming. She quickly said, "Ouch, sorry."
"Ah!! You did it on purpose?" Yan Changming screamed in pain and almost cursed, but when he remembered that he was not like You Yue, he held it back.
"Hey, isn't the Wormwood Staff only effective against ghosts?" You Yue pondered, "Could it be that you are a hybrid of a human and a ghost?"
"Are you mentally retarded?" Yan Changming said unhappily, "Let a Sky Patrol Realm monk hit you on the head with a random wooden stick and see if it hurts!" What does it have to do with the Saposhnikovia divaricata? It will hurt if you get hit.
You Yue: “…”
This demon cultivator is very aggressive!
…
Now that we understand what's strange about this place, we can continue searching. Since it's no longer the complete Jinting Island, we don't have to find the way according to our original understanding. We just need to find the person.
Demon cultivators are, after all, a human race, and their aura is different from that of ghosts in the underworld. Everyone continues to go deeper into the underworld to search for the traces of the demon cultivators.
Bai Lu would plant the flower mirror at certain distances so that he could detect the situation within hundreds of miles around.
The further inward they went, the more Yan Changming could discern that the Netherworld now overlapped with Jintingzhou in part, but it was not covered, but rather merged with a part, so as a native he could hardly tell the difference at first.
However, as we go deeper, we see more and more characteristics of the underworld, and there is also miasma everywhere.
"Ahem!" Yan Changming coughed and frowned as he looked at the people around him, "Can you guys take care of me?"
"What's wrong, what's wrong, prisoner?" You Yue asked in a sly tone.
"I may have inhaled some miasma." Yan Changming said coldly, "My chest feels uncomfortable."
As a captive, his spiritual power was sealed and he could not protect himself.
"Let me take a look." Ning Yanhu felt his pulse and checked it out, then said lightly, "Well, it seems that you are a little poisoned. The miasma can't hurt you, so it shouldn't be the miasma."
Yan Changming has reached the Tinglei Realm, and his physical body can withstand thunder. Even if he cannot circulate his spiritual energy, how could he be knocked down by a mere miasma?
"What is that? Did you poison me?" Yan Changming glanced at You Yue.
You Yue: "Why are you looking at me? I don't usually use poison. Ask if it's Bai Lu."
"I didn't use poison!" Bai Lu said aggrievedly, "I just collected some monsters and plants as materials."
"Ingredients for poison, right?" You Yue understood. All medicines are poisonous to a certain extent. Moreover, the things that Bai Lu cooked looked quite poisonous. It was impossible that he had not made poison before.
Bai Lu: “…”
Why do you have to say it out loud? Sometimes, some medicine will indeed bring bad luck to people... Bai Lu went to check on Yan Changming and said, "It may be that the plants here are releasing poisonous gas."
There were more and more plants growing in the netherworld, some of which were indeed poisonous, with different ways of releasing poison. Fortunately, the cultivators in the team were all good, so they were not disturbed when they used their spiritual power. Only Yan Changming was poisoned.
"Or you can release my spiritual power." Yan Changming said, "I won't run away."
No one paid any attention to him.
Bai Lu took out some ingredients from her space ring and boiled the medicine on the spot using a small cauldron Liang Mangu had given her. The cauldron was just enough for one person.
Yan Changming watched him brew the medicine, and his expression became uglier and uglier. "I won't drink it. I don't believe you don't have other medicine. You Yue, your Xuandu Dao Sect's anti-poison pill is obviously also very famous... Hey, you, Sword Master, are you just going to watch your disciples harm the demon cultivators..."
Before he could finish his words, Chao Tianzi held him down: "Okay, okay, the medicine my master brewed is very good, you will be fine after drinking it."
"That's right, you're still dissatisfied after I've already fed you medicine." Bai Lu held up the bubbling little tripod and poured it into Yan Changming's mouth, muttering, "You still dare to complain to my master, do you think it will work?"
Ning Yanhu and his men had long been accustomed to it. The people from other sects in the team couldn't help but feel ashamed when they saw Bai Lu "cruelly harming the demon cultivators".
Uh, Xuanshan disciples are really not particular about small matters...
Since Sword Master didn't say anything, they of course just watched silently.
"Brother Bai, don't shave yet, look in the flower mirror." Pei Zhaoting suddenly reminded. He saw a different figure appearing in the flower mirror planted by Bai Lu.
Everyone gathered around to watch.
Bai Lu quickly put down the small tripod, squeezed to the front, and manipulated the angle of the flower mirror. After searching for several days, everyone finally saw dozens of demon cultivators appearing under the Rakshasa curtain in the flower mirror!
"What are they wandering about for?" Ning Yanhu looked at the terrain ahead, which seemed to be easy to defend but difficult to attack. "Are they patrolling? What's ahead?"
"Wait, this place, uh..." Yan Changming wiped his mouth and identified it. "Although it looks a little different, it looks like the area near the Tianyan Sect's mountain gate." He paused again, "Uh."
Before they knew it, they had arrived at the place that was supposed to be Yan Changming's home.
"Then maybe this is the place. Can we get past the security like this? Or should we learn from Cai Qing and just dig a hole to get through?" Bai Lu asked.
Yan Changming hesitated for a moment, then said, "If you go down there, you will die. The Tianyan Sect has set up a large formation."
"With the Hidden Mountain Seal, there should be no problem." Ning Yanhu thought.
Yan Changming's reminder was very true. Every sect's mountain gate would have a large formation or magic to guard it. If one only thought about hiding, one might be discovered instead. It would be better to use the Hidden Mountain Seal, which was a rare magical weapon.
Everyone adjusted their disguises, and now they looked like ghost soldiers from the underworld. They also discussed how to answer if they were suspected and questioned.
Ning Yanhu had already made up a story. They could pretend to be here to report an emergency battle report, or even pretend to have brought the Demon Lord's son to them.
The group organized into a team and headed towards the direction of Tianyan Sect.
Bai Lu was standing next to Huo Xuexiang and secretly looked. Huo Xuexiang was also wearing a helmet that just covered the upper half of his face, leaving only his lips exposed.
As if he had noticed Bai Lu's gaze, Huo Xuexiang turned his head away.
Although he couldn't see Huo Xuexiang's eyes at this moment, Bai Lu still felt guilty. As if he was caught, he stuck out his tongue at Huo Xuexiang and made a face.
The lips exposed under the armor curled up into a smile, and Huo Xuexiang coughed lightly to remind Bai Lu.
Bai Lu stood at attention and looked up, and saw the Rakshasa curtain swaying in front of her, and it turned out to be those patrolling demon cultivators.
He was moved. Just now these demon cultivators were patrolling back and forth along a certain trajectory, but their current location seemed to be not on the original route, and was even some distance away.
Bai Lu frowned.
"Which ghost king's subordinates are you and what are you doing here?" a leading demon cultivator asked coldly.
"We came from the front line." Ning Yanhu said. Seeing these demon cultivators dispersed seemingly unintentionally, he became alert and said, "Because we are escorting an important cultivator..."
Everyone present was a veteran of many battles. When they heard the other side questioning, they moved as if they were about to form a battle formation and their feet started moving.
Only the leading demon cultivator and Ning Yanhu were still pretending to talk to each other: "Is that so? Do you have a warrant?"
"Yes, fellow Taoist, yes." Ning Yanhu lowered his head and groped around.
The demon cultivator on the opposite side suddenly raised the Rakshasa Banner: "Luo Tian Shi Di!"
The Rakshasa Curtain was thrown out, expanding like a black cloud, covering everyone's heads with countless resentful screams!
At the same time, the other demon cultivators also acted together tacitly.
The righteous side also anticipated this and took out their magic weapons to attack, instantly breaking the balance.
Bai Lu immediately wanted to summon the Grass Giant, but when he was about to say that, he remembered something very important. He didn't give that move a name -
Ahh, I forgot such an important thing!
"That...that!" Bai Lu said vaguely, holding the staff in his hand and summoning a grass giant.
“???” The others looked at Bai Lu strangely: Did they hear it right? Did Bai Lu say that just now?
This is so perfunctory, did you forget or didn't name it, which one is it? !
Looking at the grass giant again, because it is made up of plants from the underworld, the grass giant formed here is surrounded by miasma and poisonous gas.
Bai Lu couldn't help but laugh. Isn't this enchanting him?
Amid the shouts and cries of killing, Huo Xuexiang held the sword but did not draw it out immediately. He looked at the demon cultivator holding the Rakshasa Curtain, as if he was trying to figure out something.
Pei Zhaoting moved the formation plate at the last moment, and at the same time looked at Yan Changming who was handed to him by You Yue.
Yan Changming was anxious. His original intention was to mediate, but now the two sides met and started fighting without saying a word. He was anxious and wanted to rush forward.
Pei Zhaoting grabbed him with one hand, "Don't move."
"I want to stop all this. Do you want to fight to the end?" Yan Changming said coldly.
He could feel that even though Bai Lu and the others had captured him and did not completely believe what he said, they still had some feelings for him, and even if they were feeding him medicine, the material was of good quality.
Putting himself in their shoes, Yan Changming felt that if he were a righteous cultivator, he would feel the same when facing an invasion.
Just let him end it all.
Yan Changming's heart surged, and he shouted loudly: "Stop!!"
There was a pause at the scene, and Yan Changming took off his helmet, revealing the devil pattern and red eyes on his face, and said in a loud voice: "Yan Changming is here, which group are you from? Stop it immediately. There are many misunderstandings here, you can tell my father that I am still in the world. I did not die in Huanhuazhou, and the battle between good and evil must not start because of me!"
His words were sincere and moving, even awe-inspiring. The righteous cultivators all quietly put aside their previous doubts about him, and they did not expect that a demon cultivator could be so responsible.
Bai Lu listened to Yan Changming reading the essay and thought there was a chance of a turnaround, but she saw the demon cultivator in the lead holding the Rakshasa Curtain glanced at Yan Changming. Not only did he not call for a stop, but he raised his hand and cast a deadly spell at Yan Changming.
Yan Changming was unable to use his spiritual energy, and his face was filled with horror: "How dare you commit treason! Hey, I'm still in their hands!"
The group of demon cultivators on the opposite side continued to attack with expressionless faces.
Yan Changming: “???!”
Pei Zhaoting mobilized the formation plates to block them one by one.
Bai Lu also looked back at Yan Changming in surprise: "You are so stupid, is your father your biological father?"
Yan Changming: “…………”
