Chapter 346: Qing Jue Secret Treasure, Invitation from King Mori
The black-sailed boat is more than ten meters long and is pitch black. Two lanterns are hung on the boat, emitting a pale green light.
Combined with the ghostly Xiao An, the ship that appeared in front of Xia Lin was undoubtedly a ghost ship...
However, after actually boarding, Xia Lin felt that this ship was no different from a normal ship.
Sitting under the black sail, the boat rapidly rose into the air amidst the ghostly aura.
This also made Xia Lin's perspective quickly rise. A strong wind swept outside the boat, and an energy shield automatically appeared on the surface of the boat to isolate it from external interference.
Soon, the boat flew out of the planet and headed towards the vast starry sky.
…
Xiao An handed the steaming hot tea to Xia Lin.
After a quick inspection and confirming that it was just normal fairy tea, Xia Lin didn't hesitate.
They drank slowly, and before Xia Lin could think of a way to trick him, Xiao An started talking first.
"Looking at what you said and did, Xiao An feels that the Cinder Walkers are no different from us so-called Cinder natives."
Xia Lin smiled and said, "There is no difference at all."
Xiao An is a powerful female ghost. She is level ten, with attributes exceeding tens of millions. She is also the messenger of the Forest King. It is not surprising that a native of the Ash Zone of this level knows about the existence of the Ash Zone Walker.
"But the strange thing is that the Forest King seemed to have anticipated the arrival of the Cinder Walker in advance... I am a little confused about this matter."
"Could it be that the power of the Forest King has overshadowed the Cinder Zone system?"
The invitation clearly stated the seven words "Unknown Ash Walker".
This means that the Forest King already knew the time and exact location when the Ash Walker entered this place.
This move didn't scare Xia Lin to death, but it did make him nervous - it was like a warning from King Mori.
Xiao An covered his mouth and smiled when he heard this.
"The Forest King has great powers, but it is impossible for him to surpass the Cinder District system."
One is the eleventh-level ghost king.
One of them is a treasure that comes directly from the hands of Liuzhu.
There is no comparison between the two.
Even though Mori Oh is self-contained and claims to be a neutral party, everyone knows what is actually going on.
He is just a small figure who survives in the cracks between the Creator of Heaven and Super Star.
Even Xiao An's position did not dare to elevate his master.
From this perspective, it makes sense that Mori Oh can survive in the cracks.
Xia Lin raised his eyebrows: "That's a strange thing..."
After saying that, he stopped talking and just observed Xiao An's reaction.
If Xiao An didn't respond, Xia Lin would have to be more vigilant.
But unexpectedly, Xiao An chose to tell the truth.
Because of this matter, there is nothing that cannot be said or is not good to say.
Then Xiao An filled Xia Lin's tea cup again and then spoke.
"Sir, have you ever heard of the four words 'pure and secret treasure'?"
Xia Lin's heart moved, and he thought of the prop he obtained after killing Xu Jie in the past: the Qingjue Calligraphy Copybook.
He never expected it.
This completely random ashes area is actually related to this thing.
…
Xia Lin acquired countless treasures.
Most of them were sold to Du Hai Tang, but some of them were kept by Xia Lin because of their usefulness or mystery.
The Qingjue Calligraphy Copybook is one of the props marked as mysterious by Xia Lin.
[Qingjue Calligraphy Copybook (racial heritage level item)]
[Function 1: Absolute Sword: There are seven "kill" characters written on the Qingjue calligraphy, which are the seven Absolute Sword intentions. Once activated, it can hurt the enemy with unparalleled power! When the seven sword intentions are exhausted, this function will be invalid! ]
[Function 2: Qing Jue Token: Holding this item, you can open the secret treasure of the Qing Jue Sword God. ]
Xia Lin didn't care about the lethality of this thing because it was really not that strong.
But the second function was worthy of Xia Lin's attention - what if he could get benefits and opportunities from this thing? Unexpectedly, he did not take the initiative to look for this opportunity, but this opportunity came to him on its own initiative.
Of course, it is impossible to judge at the moment whether this pure and secret treasure is an opportunity or a disaster.
Xia Lin nodded slightly in response to Xiao An, and after thinking for a while, he said, "I was lucky enough to get a token called Qingjue Calligraphy..."
Before Xia Lin could finish, Xiao An covered his mouth and smiled: "The one who got the token must be destined to be with you. And since you can show up here, it means that the calligraphy is still in your hands."
Xia Lin: “…”
He was trying to hide it, but it turned out that there was no way to hide it.
With a flip of his hand, the Qingjue calligraphy copybook automatically appeared in Xia Lin's hand, which also attracted Xiao An to look down.
"Is this the thing?"
Xiao An smiled and nodded: "It is exactly this thing."
Observe and give feedback.
There was no covetousness or other distracting thoughts in Xiao An's eyes.
Given the power of observation and the difference in strength between the two, Xiao An would not be able to hide anything from Xia Lin.
Therefore: Qingjue calligraphy is just a fuse, not the point.
After thinking for a while, Xia Lin said, "It's a slow journey, but I wonder if Miss Xiao An can tell me in detail the story between King Mori and this Qingjue secret treasure?"
…
At this moment, on another small boat.
Luo Zhidao, who had made a perfect disguise, also took out the copybook in front of another female ghost.
He held the calligraphy in his hand and listened to the ghost girl's story, but his mind drifted away involuntarily.
"I see."
"This time, the Jin District is actually connected to the Qingjue Secret Treasure..."
The Ashes Zone is not for killing people, but for raising poisonous insects and conducting tests.
Therefore, in many cases, the Jhin area will help others to achieve their goals.
For example, token items.
The universe is so vast that if a hidden token falls into the hands of an Ash Walker, the Ash Walker will not be able to find it.
But many times, the Ashen system will throw the Ashen Walker holding the token directly in front of the secret cache at the right time.
It can be regarded as an alternative test and cultivation.
The current Eternal Night Ashes area obviously follows this logic.
"That is to say, Xia Lin and I entered this Ash Zone together because we have something in common... we both hold the Qing Jue Calligraphy Copybook."
Xia Lin's Qingjue calligraphy was obtained after killing Xu Jie.
Luo Zhidao's Qingjue calligraphy came about by chance.
"We can't rule out the possibility that there are other Ash Zone travelers holding calligraphy books who were also thrown into this Ash Zone."
"It is even possible that non-Jin District practitioners may obtain the Qing Jue Calligraphy Copybook."
Luo Zhidao thinks a lot, but there is really nothing wrong with his idea.
Due to the mutual offset of permission cards, Xia Lin and Luo Zhidao were not sure whether there were only two of them in this Ashen Zone, or if there were more Ashen Zone Walkers entering.
After a little thought, Luo Zhidao brought his thoughts back to the matter of Mori Wang and Qingjue's secret treasure.
Beside him, the female ghost named Xiao Chu spoke slowly.
"The Qingjue secret treasure was left by the Qingjue Sword God before his death."
"And the Qingjue Sword God, also known as the Qingjue Sword Master and the Qingjue Martial Saint."
"This person is extremely talented. He has mastered both immortality and martial arts. His immortality has reached the realm of immortal king, and his martial arts has reached the realm of super-level."
“He’s a rare dual-professional.”
Luo Zhidao nodded repeatedly upon hearing this.
He knew all these things clearly.
…
On another Wupeng boat.
Xiao An continued: "However, the immortal and martial arts conflict, and dual professions also have their disadvantages."
"Sword God Qing Jue has been begging for the twelfth level in vain... The Super Star of the Six Pillars even asserted that Sword God Qing Jue has reached the end of his dual profession."
Dual professions may seem beautiful, but they actually have great disadvantages.
Xia Lin was not very clear about the disadvantages, but he knew that the reason why there were few dual-professionals in the main universe was not only because it was extremely difficult to obtain a secondary profession, but there were deeper reasons.
"Affected by this, the Sword God Qing Jue was devastated and his heart was shattered. He soon died in an exploration that could be described as suicidal, but he left behind the rather famous Qing Jue Secret Treasure."
"It is said that the Sword God's last words were:"
"Want to uncover the secrets of dual professions? Want to gain power beyond your level? Go find it. I have hidden everything in the Qingjue Secret Collection."
Xia Lin: “???”
Good man, Roger, right? This made Xia Lin laugh and cry, but Xiao An couldn't understand these foreign jokes.
She just looked at Xia Lin in confusion and continued.
"And a long time ago, my master obtained a copy of Qingjue calligraphy by coincidence."
"Maybe the opportunity has arrived. King Mori used the birthday banquet as an opportunity to summon all the calligraphy holders in order to open the Qingjue secret collection."
After saying that, Xiao An looked at Xia Lin and said with a smile: "This is also the reason why you came to this world."
Xia Lin fell into deep thought.
What Xiao An said was not a lie - this was feedback from observation.
But the so-called truth is only what Xiao An thinks is true.
Xia Lin couldn't say whether there was any trick involved.
Think of the main quest requirements: attend the birthday party of the Forest King and survive until the end of the Ashes zone time.
This line of work is quite risky.
After thinking about it, a doubt arose in Xia Lin's mind, but he did not ask Xiao An.
The question is: Why does Mori Wang want to open Qingjue’s secret treasure?
…
Instead, it was Luo Zhidao, who came from a prominent family, who could answer Xia Lin's question.
And the answer is simple.
"As a neutral fence-sitter, if you don't rely on the six pillars, you won't get the opportunity to reach level 12, and your upper limit of strength will be stuck at level 11."
If you examine the logic here carefully, you will immediately discover that the cosmic order dominated by the six pillars is actually quite dark and sinister.
Either be a dog or be a weak person.
But Mori Wang doesn't want to be a dog, nor does he want to be a weakling, so naturally he has to think of other ways.
There are very few solutions, and almost no successful cases.
But it is definitely not absent.
Qingjue Sword God is one of the successful cases.
As a double eleven-level immortal martial arts practitioner, Qingjue Sword God's level is eleven, but he has a record of fighting against level twelve opponents without being defeated!
It is no exaggeration to call him the strongest level eleven in the past!
However, this approach is wrong. Although he has the combat power, he has no level. The subsequent potential is not even as good as that of a real level 12.
To put it bluntly, this is a wrong path.
But Mori Wang said that the evil path is also a path.
I just want to ask you whether this path can bring me improvement?
Right? Then I'll go!
Luo Zhidao's comment on this is: He really loves freedom deeply...
But no matter what Mori-oh chooses, his purpose is clear.
Open the Qingjue secret collection and find out the secret of the dual-profession system developed by the Qingjue Sword God.
…
After three days of sailing, the boat finally arrived at the ancient city of Senluo.
What appeared in Xia Lin's eyes was a giant city comparable to a planet.
The city floats in the void of the universe. Its huge size and the black smoke rising from the ancient city can be seen from a long distance.
The black smoke is actually the manifestation of ghost energy.
It shows the main residents of this city and the strength type of the ruler of the ancient city of Senluo, the King of Senluo.
And just around the ancient city of Senluo, the space is layered and filled with mysterious light.
It is not only a formation, but also an alternative mezzanine space.
——The signature item of the Mori King: the Eighteen Levels of Hell, is hidden near the ancient city of Senluo.
At this time, King Mori's birthday is approaching.
The area around Senluo Ancient City is extremely bustling.
There are all kinds of transportation, and the scene of people and ghosts mixed together is quite hellish, but also relatively harmonious.
No one would cause trouble on Morioh's birthday.
After all, although Mori Wang is not as good as the level eleven in the Six Pillars camp, he is also a serious strong man.
Several nearby star fields are all under the rule of King Sen. In this area, King Sen is the undisputed ruler.
As the holder of the Qingjue Calligraphy Collection, Xia Lin received preferential treatment.
The boat passed through layers of restrictions, flew into the ancient city of Senluo, and soon arrived at the palace of King Sen.
The palace is luxurious and majestic. Prince Mori has good taste and knows how to enjoy life.
When Xiao An led Xia Lin to a side hall, several people had already arrived there.
Xia Lin took a quick look.
I don’t know any of them…
He also didn't know whether Luo Zhidao was hiding among them - because Luo Zhidao must be the same as Xia Lin, and he had disguised himself well.
Before Xiao An could guide Xia Lin to sit down, a burly giant in the side hall spoke.
"It seems that this person is also the owner of the Qingjue Calligraphy Copybook?"
Xia Lin smiled without saying anything, and Xiao An bowed and said, "Yes."
After saying this briefly, Xiao An retreated, leaving the entire side hall to the group of people present.
It was the giant who spoke again.
"Open the secret treasure together and share the results."
"It sounds good, but it's hard to predict what will happen in reality."
His words were full of distrust towards Mori Wang.
Xia Lin did not comment, but his eyes flashed and he began to observe.
However, at the moment when Xia Lin started the observation, the object of observation: the giant suddenly turned his head and looked at Xia Lin!
This made Xia Lin decisively give up observing. He smiled at the giants and retracted his gaze.
The giant looked Xia Lin up and down for a long time, snorted coldly and didn't say much, but the atmosphere between the two of them became a little stiff.
Detection skills are like this, it is easy to make enemies.
Snooping into someone's privacy is never a good idea or a good idea. However, when it comes to life and safety, probing skills are a must and must be used when the time is right.
This time Xia Lin was frustrated...but the strength of this giant can also be seen from the side.
Quite strong.
Next to the giant, another ghostly man in white clothes spoke, breaking the stiff atmosphere between Xia Lin and the giant.
"On the contrary, I feel that King Mori does have a certain degree of credibility. At least his sincerity is indeed not low."
After saying this, he looked around at everyone present.
"You all received the invitation, right? You appeared out of nowhere right in front of us?"
"This means that King Mori probably has the means to directly locate the position of the holder of the Qing Jue Calligraphy Copybook. With King Mori's power, I think none of us here would be a match for King Mori."
"No matter whether there are soldiers behind or not, in terms of courtesy first, King Mori has obviously done it."
What the ghost man in white said made sense, and judging from Mori Wang's actions, he did have some sincerity.
The giant widened his eyes and shouted.
"The little ghost is protecting the big ghost. I think you two are in the same group!"
Xia Lin: “…”
It is a rare thing that this hot-tempered person can survive to this day and possess such a level of strength.
Just as the ghost man in white and the giant were arguing, several more people arrived.
Only when there were eight people gathered in the hall did footsteps sound from outside the side hall.
The sound arrives before the person arrives.
It was a gentle and pleasant male voice.
"Nine is the ultimate number."
"After Qing Jue died, he left behind nine copies of calligraphy. Now, thanks to all of you for your kindness, these nine copies of calligraphy are gathered together at this moment."
As soon as the words fell, the owner of the voice appeared in front of the eight people in the side hall.
He has a handsome appearance, and is wearing a black robe with a dragon pattern woven from gold threads.
He wears sky-measuring boots and carries a ghost-controlling sword on his waist.
He has curved eyebrows, eyes like stars and an extraordinary temperament. He doesn't look like a ghost king, but rather like a young swordsman who has just come down the mountain.
The tone is mature and appropriate.
King Mori bowed his hands, saluted everyone present, and then smiled.
"My name is Sen Shuhan, nice to meet you fellow Taoists!"
He was an immortal king during his lifetime, and turned into a ghost cultivator after his death.
Therefore, it is inevitable that there will be some habits of speaking on the immortal side.
This was not a problem, and Xia Lin and the other eight people also stood up to return the greeting.
Even the giant who looked the most rampant and unruly was polite.
But suddenly, King Sen turned his head and looked at an inconspicuous human cultivator among the eight people.
"This gentleman looks familiar, but have we met before?"
The person who was named did not show any fear, and spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"My last name is Zhang Chu, I am a casual cultivator, and I have never had any connection with King Mori before!"
Mori Wang nodded in understanding and responded with a smile: "Then I might be wrong."
The speaker may not mean it, but the listener may take it seriously.
Xia Lin secretly glanced at the human cultivator named Zhang Chu, wondering if this person was Luo Zhidao in disguise.
But then he heard Mori Ou speak again and looked towards the giant.
"Strange, this gentleman's aura is somewhat familiar to me..."
The giant shook his hands again and again: "No, no, no, we have never met."
King Mori smiled and said, "Then I was wrong."
He turned and looked at the male ghost in white.
"you……"
The white-clothed male ghost smiled bitterly: "It's a little disguise, but it doesn't mean I'm here with bad intentions. Your Highness Prince Mori, please don't try to test me."
After saying this, the male ghost in white also looked at the other people.
"Except for you, Lord Mori, all the nine people present here are in disguise, some are stronger, some are weaker."
The male ghost in white revealed the secret in one sentence, and everyone else remained silent.
In this game, it seems like everyone has ulterior motives.
King Mori smiled, walked past the crowd, came to the main seat and sat down, then he stopped smiling and spoke slowly.
"There is something I need hidden in the secret stash."
"I invited you all this time to explore the hidden treasures and hunt for treasures together."
"Even though I am a ghost, I understand the principles of honesty and courtesy before force."
"I will say this in front of you all today."
He looked around at the other eight people and continued, "The Qingjue secret vault must be opened. I am determined to get the things inside!"
"If you don't want to explore the Qingjue secret treasure with me, you can leave the Qingjue calligraphy and go away. I, Sen Shuhan, will definitely pay you handsomely!"
To put it bluntly, it is a forced sale.
It can change the situation, but it cannot change the nature of forced buying and selling.
Without waiting for anyone else to react, King Mori said, "And if you are also curious about the Qingjue secret treasure, I sincerely invite you to join me!"
"I will never monopolize the hidden treasures. I will only take what I need. I will not even keep some of the experience and knowledge that can be shared!"
"But I'll be frank with you."
"I don't need to find out your origins, nor do I need to delve into the purpose of your coming here."
"But if anyone dares to delay my good deeds, I will definitely send him to the eighteen levels of hell, and let him suffer countless tortures!"
An astonishing aura burst out from Mori Wang's body.
That might was no less than the strongest person Xia Lin had ever fought: Black Star!
The power of the strong in the main universe is superior to that of the virtual natives.
However, the power of the Forest King is comparable to that of level 12! His strength is truly amazing.
And intensity brings the right to speak.
Even though his "first courtesy, then force" was full of threats, combined with such power, it made everyone present dare not say a word! It was not until King Mori took the initiative to restrain his breath that the eight people below reacted.
"Then this time, it's all up to you, Lord Mori."
The person who spoke was an old woman with wrinkles all over her face and a frail appearance.
The ghostly aura revealed his identity: he was a ghost cultivator.
After the old woman spoke, the other seven people also spoke one after another, saying that everything in this game was centered on Mori Wang.
However, no one chose to sell Qingjue calligraphy and not participate in the exploration of Qingjue's secret treasures.
King Mori saw everything.
A smile appeared on his face again.
"It's still early, we have plenty of time. Seven days from now, it will be my birthday, which is also the Yin year, Yin month, and Yin time."
"I think that now is the best time to open the Qingjue secret treasure, so I can only ask you to stay in my Senluo Ancient City for a few days."
Everyone nodded: "Then we'll bother King Mori."
…
People know that ghosts are evil, and ghosts know the viciousness of human hearts.
These ten words are enough to summarize what happened just now, is happening now, and will happen in the future.
Prince Mori left the side hall, and the eight people in the side hall looked at each other.
The subtle fluctuations of the detection skills began to fade and shine.
However, none of them can see through each other's true appearance or even the inside story.
After the Mori King left, the giant became the unruly giant again.
He flicked his sleeves and snorted, "They are all old bitches."
He strode out of the side hall.
The ghost man in white sneered: "You make it sound like your purpose is very pure..."
And we don’t know the background and purpose of these eight people.
In fact, Xia Lin now doesn't quite understand King Mori's purpose.
You want the secret treasures of Qingjue, go ahead and grab them! The people are all here, and they are all in your hands. Wouldn't it be easy for you to control them with your strength? Alas, he refused to do so. Instead, he invited these guys with unknown purposes and ulterior motives to actively participate in his exploration plan.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong.
But it’s hard to guess what happened...
Perhaps among these eight people, there is someone who can rival Mori Oh.
Or maybe King Mori felt that these eight people had other roles and meanings in the Qingjue secret treasure.
After looking around at everyone else again, Xia Lin also left.
The second troublesome point: he did not find any trace of Luo Zhidao in this side hall.
But I also know that Luo Zhidao must be one of these eight people!
