Chapter 1277 The True Immortal Hidden in the Dark Sea (7K, please subscribe and vote)
It was like a tangible murderous intent that swept towards the Holy Emperor, but was dissolved into nothingness by the golden strands in front of him.
After Mo Rubin's rage subsided a little, Li Ping said calmly: "I can see that you are not really angry in your heart."
"You still want to act in front of me? Or once you get into the role, even you can't tell the difference?"
"Look, real anger is like this..."
The Holy Emperor took a step forward, and a powerful force burst out from his toes, sweeping wildly around him. The brilliance of the white jade flagpole was like a withered willow in the wind, swaying continuously.
However, this surging energy quickly decayed after it left the range of the aperture and entered the dark sea.
The silent dark sea was rippling, erasing all disturbances.
It was as if he was soothing the furious Holy Emperor.
"You don't need to teach me! I know this place better than you do!"
Mo Rubin's figure suddenly appeared behind Li Ping. A shadow was hidden under the white light of the white jade flagpole, like a poisonous snake, baring its fangs at Li Ping's neck.
Cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the Holy Emperor's golden armor, and a black line rushed out from the hole in the center and headed straight for Li Ping's neck.
But when he was about to succeed, Li Ping stopped him with his palm.
Li Ping looked at the shadow that was bound and moving in the middle of his hand and said coldly, "Another personality? This one... looks a lot like you."
After saying this, he did not crush the sneak attacker directly, but let it return to Mo Rubin.
However, Mo Rubin himself did not even want the immortal white jade flag. While he was talking, he disappeared from the spot.
Li Ping shook his head slightly. The kick he made before was not in vain.
Following the remaining senses, he moved forward rapidly in the dark sea, chasing after Mo Rubin.
The direction in which Mo Rubin was moving seemed to be the crack where the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance extracted the dark power.
"I don't know where you got this trick from, but you dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me?"
"Don't I know clearly that this dark sea embraces everything, even the emotions of the monks will cause ripples and then be covered by the darkness?"
"Still see through my heart?"
Dozens of Mo Rubin's faces, hidden in the darkness, floated over from time to time and sneered at Li Ping.
Their tones were all different, but without exception, after finishing their lines, they spontaneously dissolved into the sea of darkness.
Since these demon faces did not launch an attack, Li Ping simply ignored them and allowed them to mock him, and just quickly approached Mo Rubin.
The demon face's chattering continued.
"What is the real me? I am the number one genius in Jiulian Temple, the first person who is expected to become an immortal. I am also one of the twelve Dharma Kings of Xuantian Sect, assisting Xuanyuan Hong in building the great cause of Xuantian Sect and unifying the Xuanhuang Realm."
"Even so, should I always show the same face? Should the chief genius always be steady? Should the twelve Dharma kings make plans before taking action?"
"Wrong, wrong, wrong! I am the one who laughs and scolds, I am the one who is unruly and unruly, and I am also the one who is unruly and uninhibited!"
"Use your immortal heart to control the devil. You should show the right attitude according to the situation you encounter!"
"If someone is acting, just play along. If someone is extremely terrified, then intimidate him to the end. If someone is extremely evil, then go along with him."
"As for a pedantic nice guy like you, you should be scolded harshly to wake him up!"
"Who do you think you are?! You haven't even entered the realm of immortals, and you still want to save the world?!"
Dozens of faces appeared around and started to speak to the Holy Emperor, all of which were extremely unpleasant words.
However, the Holy Emperor did not show any sign of fluctuation in expression.
His gaze seemed to penetrate layers of darkness. Not far ahead, Mo Rubin's face was as calm as his.
call……
The waves of the Dark Sea stopped Mo Rubin from moving forward.
He suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky in the distance.
A gap was regularly emitting dark power. The intermittent muffled sound was like a heavy heartbeat.
"Damn it."
"How can we succeed with such a bunch of insects holding us back?"
Another shadowy face appeared above Li Ping's head. This time, the words were no longer as crazy and furious as before. However, Li Ping could hear that in the calmness, there was a real murderous intention hidden.
"I once tried to mobilize the power of the Dark Sea to close the gap. However, it was blocked by an eyeball..."
"Is the owner of that eyeball King Xuantian?"
The Holy Emperor came to Mo Rubin, put his hand on his shoulder, and spoke.
Mo Rubin didn't look back, but a face suddenly appeared behind his head, looking at Li Ping with contempt.
"Would Brother Xuanyuan do such a thing?"
Li Ping was not annoyed and followed his words and asked, "Then why can that eyeball mobilize the power of the Dark Sea?"
The face on the back of Mo Rubin's head disappeared: "Do you know what the nature of this dark sea is?"
"Formation?" Li Ping answered after thinking for a moment.
"It's really stupid." Mo Rubin sneered, "The formation is just an appearance. What really created this dark gathering and enabled the Xuanhuang Realm to resist the suction force in the ruins of the Ascension Channel is..."
When it came to the key point, Mo Rubin suddenly paused.
"Do you want to know?" he asked teasingly, in a frivolous tone.
"I want to." Li Ping said calmly.
Seeing Li Ping being so serious, Mo Rubin suddenly seemed to lose interest. His tone returned to normal in an instant.
"The only thing that can fight against a True Immortal is the power of a True Immortal."
"The one who caused the Dark Star Sea catastrophe was an enlightened immortal. Then who can generate enough power to allow the Xuanhuang Realm to escape..."
"Of course it's another True Immortal."
As soon as these words were spoken, they resounded like thunder in the mind of the Faceless Saint Emperor.
The darkness around him seemed to come alive in an instant, all spying on him.
"A true immortal is indeed a true immortal."
"It's just a dead immortal. Right?"
However, the Holy Emperor, who suddenly learned of such a secret, seemed to have expected it.
He asked back calmly.
Mo Rubin shrugged: "It's really boring to talk to smart people like you."
"Yes, the foundation of the entire dark sea is the corpse of a true immortal."
Li Ping was not surprised by this result.
The Dark Sea can absorb the faith of the Dark Clan and transform it into the essence of source power. However, it does not care if its followers change their faith.
Once the True Immortal's Net is created, it will actually exist and cannot be changed by will.
Once you fall into the net, you can't escape unless you burst out with the power to tear the net of True Immortal apart.
Those weak You people naturally do not have such ability. The only reasonable explanation is that the owner of the True Immortal Net has died.
No more constraints.
"True Immortal." Li Ping repeated these two words.
"Xuanhuang Realm, the fallen true immortal."
"It's amazing, isn't it? In such a mere lower realm, a true immortal could actually die here. But it's a good thing that there is a body of a true immortal hidden in the Xuanhuang Realm, otherwise a good cook would be powerless without rice. Brother Xuanyuan has no good way to save the Xuanhuang Realm." Mo Rubin said with some emotion.
However, Li Ping introduced the existence of the Meteorite Realm to Mo Rubin.
"Oh. I didn't expect that there really is a successor to the Heavenly Venerable who is willing to share the immortal's legacy with the world." After Mo Rubin heard this, his aura became unstable again.
"It's hard to imagine that there are people in the world who are more stupid than Brother Xuanyuan. It's really..."
"He has fallen long ago," Li Ping added.
Mo Rubin calmed down again in an instant.
After a long time, he finally said, "It's good to die. It's good to die..."
Although he said this, for some reason, Li Ping always felt that he looked a little sad.
So Li Ping asked the question he had always wanted to ask: "Is King Xuantian dead?"
Mo Rubin turned around and stared at Li Ping in a daze: "You ask me, who should I ask? Maybe he is not dead. I am looking for him too. Brother Xuanyuan is such a strong man, even if he was plotted against by a villain, he would not die like this."
After saying that, he turned back without giving Li Ping a chance to continue communicating.
"The Dark Sea is based on the [Spirit Gathering and Immortal Ascension Formation], with the remains of the True Immortal as the bones and the blood of the first generation of the Great Celestial Venerable as the rope. It creates something out of nothing, and breeds a force that is strong enough to compete with the suction of the True Immortal."
"But it's just a dead thing after all. Without the control core, it has become food for others."
"So, don't die. Even if you were a true immortal when you were alive, so what? Even after you die, ants can bully you."
Mo Rubin once again looked at the device of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance in the distance that extracted the power of darkness, and said in a mocking tone.
"The bloodline of the first generation of the Great Celestial Lord?" The strange appearance of the You people flashed through Li Ping's mind, and he couldn't help but be moved.
"No wonder, only this group of people can communicate with the Dark Sea. But..."
The bloodline of the True Immortals, without much thought, is so noble. But now it has become like this, neither human nor ghost.
Mo Rubin seemed to see through Li Ping's thoughts and said coldly: "There is no need to sympathize with these people. If you lived in that era, you would have experienced firsthand how the blood of the Great Heavenly Venerable enslaved others..."
"I'm afraid he won't be the first one to rise up."
"If it weren't for Big Brother Xuanyuan who took action and killed all of their minions, I don't know how long this group of people would have been able to bully others. It's their blessing that they have become what they are now." Mo Rubin laughed coldly.
Li Ping did not argue with Mo Rubin on this issue anymore.
"The Dark Sea actually uses the remains of true immortals to condense dark immortal power and fight against the Immortal Ruins. What exactly is the eye controlled by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance?" he asked softly.
"Xianxu..." As if he strongly disagreed with the word, Mo Rubin sneered again.
But this time he didn't dwell on the details, but directly answered Li Ping's question: "That was just a magical tool made by Brother Xuanyuan to control the Dark Sea. After all, he couldn't watch this place all the time, and the Dark Sea was too important in the entire escape plan, so he needed our assistance. There are three in total, and they were given to different Dharma Kings."
"I just don't know who this thing in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance belongs to." A hint of murderous intent flashed in Mo Rubin's words.
Li Ping nodded slightly: "Is there any way to affect the control of the Eyes Magical Instrument over the Dark Sea?"
"If your attainments in formations are better than Brother Xuanyuan's..."
"Um?"
Mo Rubin was about to make some sarcastic remarks, but suddenly he remembered the level of formation skills that the Holy Emperor had demonstrated in their previous fight.
The words that were about to be spoken were swallowed back.
"Maybe we can give it a try in the core center of the Spirit Gathering and Ascension Array." Mo Rubin said.
His gaze shifted away from the crack in the Dark Sea and turned to the other side.
Li Ping followed his gaze and sighed, "This formation is indeed extremely mysterious. I pride myself on my extraordinary level of formation skills, but in this darkness, I can't even see any trace of formations."
"That's the effect of the True Immortal's corpse." Mo Rubin pointed out the mistake in Li Ping's words without hesitation, "If there was no dispersion power of the True Immortal's remains, you should be able to do it."
The Holy Emperor was speechless.
"Come with me."
Mo Rubin greeted him, then he roughly identified the direction, and his figure turned into a black line and disappeared into the darkness.
Li Ping followed closely.
As they got closer and closer to the so-called core of the Dark Sea, Li Ping suddenly felt uneasy for some reason.
There were even some blurry images flashing by.
Among them, there was a scene where only a body of Mo Rubin was left, lying quietly in this dark sea.
"etc!"
Feeling horrified, Li Ping called out to Mo Rubin.
"Hmm?" Although a little dissatisfied, Mo Rubin still stopped temporarily.
"You better be serious."
Li Ping didn't care about the other party's attitude. After pondering for a moment, he said, "What kind of power can kill you instantly?"
As if they had heard some extremely funny joke, faces flew out from Mo Rubin's body, appeared in front of Li Ping, shouting and yelling.
"Kill me instantly? As long as my demon heart is not extinguished, my immortal body will not be destroyed. As long as I have a personality, I will not really die!"
"Even if it's a true immortal..."
"True Immortal, it should be possible."
Mo Rubin's true form suddenly spoke, and the noisy faces instantly quieted down.
"In fact, with Brother Xuanyuan's strength, he can do it without any intention."
Mo Rubin's original body analyzed very rationally.
"I feel like there's something wrong with the center of the formation ahead."
After hearing Mo Rubin's conclusion, Li Ping expressed his concerns directly.
Unexpectedly, Mo Rubin did not refute this time.
He suddenly said something that seemed completely irrelevant: "The entire dark sea is built on the corpses of true immortals."
"In our time, this place was far from being as vast as it is today. It seems that the bloodline of the Great Heavenly Venerable has multiplied well over the years."
"Well... although there has been a slight shrinking trend recently, it does not affect the overall situation."
"Gathering spirits to ascend to immortality, ascending to immortality to gather spirits. In fact, this place can also be regarded as an ownerless True Immortal body that has been cultivating on its own for nearly ten thousand years. Inside the body, there is pure True Immortal power."
"It's just that... these True Immortal powers are cultivated based on the remains of True Immortals. So theoretically speaking, only the deceased True Immortal can use them."
"Theoretically speaking." Mo Rubin repeated these three words.
"But there are countless mysterious skills in the world, and there might be some way to break this shackle."
The Faceless Saint Emperor looked out at the endless dark sea and said, "If we can control such a powerful energy, we will be able to burst out with power comparable to that of a True Immortal in an instant."
"If a child tries to carry a tripod, he will end up being crushed to death by the tripod." Mo Rubin broke Li Ping's fantasy.
Continue walking towards the center of the Spirit Gathering and Ascension Array.
"I was wondering if it was possible that Brother Xuanyuan hid here after being seriously injured."
"If we were to ask who in the Xuanhuang Realm is most likely to absorb the power of this dark sea, it would definitely be him."
He seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be explaining to Li Ping why he was determined to go there despite the danger.
"It's okay. I'm here with you. With the two of us working together, even if we encounter a crisis, it won't be a problem to escape." Li Ping said calmly and followed closely behind.
"What an idiot. That's why they say good people die quickly." Mo Rubin said mockingly, as if he didn't appreciate Li Ping's kindness.
Li Ping's attention was focused on his surroundings.
The darkness gathered here, becoming thicker and thicker. After knowing that the essence of this darkness was the power of the corpse of the True Immortal, Li Ping felt a completely different feeling than before.
However, what surprised him was that Mao Bao, who had always been very greedy for fairy-level energy, seemed to have no sense of such a huge amount of energy at this moment.
Still sleeping soundly on my shoulder.
He didn't even open his eyes.
"Interesting." Li Ping became more alert.
Not long after, Mo Rubin stopped.
"It should be here." He looked around and said.
"Should?" Li Ping was a little confused.
Such specious words should not come from the mouth of Mo Rubin, the Dharma King of Xuantian Sect.
"Someone has been here before. They have also modified the formation." Mo Rubin's tone became more serious than ever before. Li Ping could also hear the faint expectation and excitement in it.
However, after walking around, he looked at Li Ping again.
"This formation is a bit complicated."
The implication is to ask the Holy Emperor for help.
Li Ping shook his head slightly: "The power of the True Immortal's remains is pervasive, and I can't sense any traces of the formation."
Mo Rubin snorted: "Just watch!"
A shadowy face suddenly flew out from his body and came towards Li Ping.
Li Ping felt no ill will, so he did not dodge.
The shadowy demon face of Mo Rubin swam and attached itself to Li Ping's blank face in a very evil way.
Before he could express his displeasure, Li Ping's attention was attracted by the spectacular scene that suddenly appeared in front of him.
The dark and silent gloomy sea suddenly shed its mysterious veil.
Revealing the true face hidden underneath.
Just like the thick clouds in the sky, they evolved into different forms. The dark power gathered piece by piece, and Li Ping and Mo Rubin seemed to be in the kingdom of clouds in the sky.
The aggregate of dark forces swam slowly and extremely quickly. When they approached each other, they swallowed each other and changed into new shapes.
And in the very center of this dark sea, the oldest dark clouds that have been deposited for tens of thousands of years exude an aura that makes Li Ping tremble.
These ancient gatherings are like terrifying ancient beasts, quietly living in the depths of the dark sea.
"It is worthy of the power of a True Immortal. The energy contained in each cloud here is far more powerful than a full-strength attack from an Immortal Realm cultivator."
"What a great power!" Li Ping exclaimed in his heart.
Li Ping also noticed that the device used by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to extract dark power was actually absorbing the free clouds floating in various places in the dark sea.
Moreover, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance seemed to be able to distinguish the size of clouds, and did not attack the larger gatherings. Most of their targets were concentrated on the small free individuals.
"Now you see it clearly." Mo Rubin's voice interrupted Li Ping's thoughts.
Li Ping came back to his senses from the shock and looked at it carefully again.
Sure enough, some traces of formations were found around these gatherings.
However, before starting to crack it, Li Ping asked a question first.
"The Floating Starry Sky Formation, according to my previous deduction, consists of four secondary formations."
"The golden chain used to lock and capture the immortal world outside the sea of stars; the eye of the beast that serves as an observation station; the dark sea used to escape the suction of the immortal ruins, which is also the great formation for gathering spirits and ascending to immortality. What is the remaining one?"
With the help of Mo Rubin's demonic mask, Li Ping only stared at Mo Rubin's real body.
Mo Rubin shrugged and replied naturally: "How would I know that?"
"The Great Crossing Formation was almost entirely built by Brother Xuanyuan himself. We only had the opportunity to see it up close after he completed the construction of the formation. Different Dharma Kings are responsible for different areas. I am just a little familiar with this place."
Li Ping didn't find any flaws in Mo Rubin's words.
But I didn't believe it easily.
Without dwelling on this matter for the moment, Li Ping focused on analyzing the magic circle here.
After all, he really wanted to meet the legendary King Xuantian in person.
"The formation is quite old, and it is somewhat different from the style handed down in Xuanhuang Realm."
"There seem to be signs of being agitated. Did a fight take place here?"
"It can only be considered an anomaly. It is not particularly complex. It does not even reach the threshold of an immortal-level magic array."
Li Ping came to this conclusion after observing for a while.
"Will casting spells here cause an uproar among the dark forces?" Before breaking the formation, Li Ping asked Mo Rubin very cautiously.
Mo Rubin was not surprised at all and sneered, "Have you been promoted to the realm of True Immortal? Don't think about these things."
"If you can cause a riot among the True Immortal Power here, then the first thing I should do is to run away immediately."
With Mo Rubin's reply, Li Ping no longer had any concerns.
One after another, hidden formations were arranged before his eyes, interlocking and combining.
Soon, Li Fan found the flaw in the formation.
"This way."
Lead the way in without triggering the formation's counterattack.
"So efficient, you have some skills." Mo Rubin also gave a rare compliment.
The scene inside the formation seemed no different from before entering.
But judging from Mo Rubin's expression, he should not have come to the wrong place.
"This is where the original core formation of the Gathering Spirits and Immortals Formation is located."
Following Mo Rubin's words, Li Ping looked around.
The ancient dark power from the outside world gathers together and is absorbed here.
It turned into wisps of green smoke and disappeared.
"There is no true immortal power left, and the essence of energy is still deeper in the formation." Li Ping said thoughtfully.
"Once the power part of the Ascension Formation is closed, it cannot be entered again. But the main control area is not closed."
"Be careful." Mo Rubin continued to move deeper inside with ease.
Li Ping walked slowly, observing his left and right, memorizing all the details of the formation.
Although only a small part of the formation was revealed, with his current level of formation skills, he could deduce the source of the formation by looking at the small part.
"Interesting, there are signs of a fight."
Mo Rubin, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped.
He looked at a corner of the formation.
Li Ping also saw a ray of sword light from the traces of slight damage on the formation.
"The realm of immortality." Li Ping judged and suddenly became alert.
"It's still a strong immortal realm." Mo Rubin added.
After saying that, he quickened his pace and continued to move inside.
From a visual perspective, the positions of the two people seem to have not changed.
The ancient gatherings above and below, in all directions, remained motionless in their relative positions.
But Li Ping could clearly feel that even with the blessing of Mo Rubin's magic face, the surrounding environment was getting darker and darker.
"Deep in the dark sea."
The familiar feeling of darkness that covered everything came back again.
Compared to the darkness outside, it is even more suffocating here.
Li Ping felt that the operation of his own cultivation was hindered. Even the essence of his source power could not be avoided.
When darkness engulfed the last ray of light, one could only rely on Mo Rubin's magic mask to barely sense the surrounding scenes.
Li Ping suddenly felt that Mo Rubin in front of him suddenly stopped moving.
A cold breath came faintly.
Li Ping approached slowly and discovered the reason why Mo Rubin was still.
Not far ahead, a corpse was lying quietly.
Or, an empty shell would be more appropriate.
It is unknown how long he has been dead, but his face is still lifelike. You can clearly see the fear and disbelief on his face before he died.
Although his body still seemed full, it was actually empty inside.
There is nothing left.
"The realm of immortality." Mo Rubin communicated with Li Ping through the attached demon face.
"Also, the clothes he's wearing look somewhat familiar." Mo Rubin suddenly felt a surge of murderous intent.
"Da Dao Sect, Fang Dingge."
After observing carefully for a while, Li Ping determined the identity of this person from the records on the previous Genesis Stone.
"So this is the place." Li Ping suddenly realized.
At the same time, the sense of vigilance in my heart rose to an unprecedented level.
"Who?" Mo Rubin asked concisely.
"Your era, thousands of years later, you will be the head of the Da Dao Sect when the great catastrophe comes."
"In order to hunt down Chuan Fa, the founder of the current Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, six immortals attacked together, but none of them could be found. No one saw him alive, and no one saw his body dead. But Chuan Fa survived."
"At that time, the Dharma could only be passed on to the He Dao realm." Li Ping briefly introduced the whole story to Mo Rubin.
"Six immortals died here?" Mo Rubin was no longer calm.
He stepped back slightly, his expression solemn.
"I hope it's not what I guessed." After a while, Mo Rubin murmured to himself.
"The purpose of the teaching is to use the power of this Spirit Gathering and Ascension Formation to kill those six immortals?" Li Ping asked.
"If that's the case, it would be the best outcome." Mo Rubin's faint voice came.
"I'm just afraid that the remains of the True Immortal will come back to life."
