Chapter 1279 The Death of the Ants of Hedao (7k, please subscribe, please vote)
Regardless of the character of Mo Rubin and the Xuantian Sect members, they are, after all, cultivators who were born and raised in the Xuanhuang Realm.
The main contradiction in the Xuanhuang Realm now is the conflict over sovereignty between the cultivators from outside the immortal world who have been swallowed up for various reasons since the great catastrophe in the immortal world and the native cultivators of the Xuanhuang Realm.
The key to solving this contradiction lies in Chuan Fa and Tian Yi.
"As for Mo Rubin, he might even help at a critical moment. And King Xuantian..."
Judging from the clues currently available, Xuantian Wang Xuanyuan Hong and Li Ping have the same purpose, which is to save Xuanhuang Realm from danger. If he is really not dead, Li Ping does not mind returning the position of Xuanhuang Tianzun to him.
This trip with Mo Rubin was definitely fruitful for Li Ping. In addition to accidentally mastering an immortal-level formation [Spirit Gathering and Immortal Ascension Formation], more importantly, he stopped the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance from extracting the power of the Dark Sea.
Without the array control device, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance would definitely not be able to control the Dark Sea again with the strength it has shown. Although it is still unclear what the Immortal Alliance's purpose of stealing the power of darkness is, there is no doubt that this action has destroyed the plan and destroyed a trump card of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
As for deepening the connection with the Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao, it now seems to be an insignificant progress for Li Ping.
After returning to the Holy Dynasty, Li Ping first came to the treasury, summoned the cat treasure, and used the [Binding Ring] again to complete the copy, ensuring that each treasure was preserved in triplicate.
The Holy Emperor just returned to the Holy Emperor Throne and sat there thinking.
"Although I knew before that there were still many Xuantian Sect Dharma Kings sleeping in various places in Xuanhuang Realm. But I didn't have a quantitative and accurate understanding of their strength. Mo Rubin said that he was the weakest among the twelve..."
"Even if it is exaggerated, the strength of the Dharma Kings is indeed terrifying. After all, they have the inheritance of the immortal world as their foundation."
"The Xuantian Sect inherited the legacy of the immortal world. The ten immortal sects were led by the great master Cheng Tiandu, and when they destroyed the Xuantian Sect, they must have looted a lot of treasures. And the teachings they passed on..."
"Even the Supreme Sect's supreme skill, the 'Taishang Original True Scripture', was forcibly borrowed by him. Many of the ten sects' treasures must have fallen into the hands of Chuan Fa. Not to mention that the Tianxuan Mirror and other important tools that the ten sects couldn't find were all controlled by him. Chuan Fa is even more powerful than the Xuantian Sect's Dharma King."
A question was put before the Holy Emperor.
If the secret is forced out, there will inevitably be a battle between the two sides.
Although the Xuanhuang Realm is vast, it cannot withstand their tossing. Moreover, there are too many strange and bizarre things hidden in the Xuanhuang Realm, such as the True Immortal [The Will to Survive] in the depths of the Dark Sea.
If their fight alarmed these beings...
Don't argue about Xuanhuang orthodoxy. It's a question whether Xuanhuang Realm can survive.
"The place of the future decisive battle must be in the void outside Xuanhuang." Li Ping said in his heart.
Li Ping believed that Chuan Fa would reach a consensus with him on this aspect. After all, after patching up for thousands of years, Chuan Fa certainly would not want to see Xuan Huang Realm destroyed.
Li Ping did not have much ill will towards spreading the Dharma.
It's simply that the two sides have different positions.
"It seems that I still need to go to the void outside the world in person to familiarize myself with the environment of the decisive battle." Li Ping thought.
But before that, Li Ping focused his attention on the [Spirit Gathering and Ascension Formation].
This formation is similar to the [All Living Beings Spirit Refining Formation]. After being improved by King Xuantian, its bloody and violent aura has been greatly reduced. Li Ping does not reject it.
Gathering spirits to become immortals, one can extract matter and transform it into immortal power that transcends the mundane.
And when all living beings refine their spirits, they can fuse their consciousnesses and condense them into energy that can resist true immortals.
If you combine the two...
"Perhaps this can solve the problem of insufficient source essence."
"Although the effectiveness of the Ascension Formation will be greatly reduced due to the lack of materials, it should not be difficult to eventually condense a power of the same energy level as the Source Essence."
There is no need to say much about the Holy Emperor's ability to act. Once an idea comes to mind, he will deduce it on the spot.
Each formation pattern was decomposed and integrated in his mind.
A brand new formation is slowly being generated.
In fact, someone in the world has already taken the lead and deduced the anticipated formation.
Under the dark sea, one is always facing the threat of death.
The connection between the Holy Emperor's clone and Li Fan himself became close again.
Especially after Mo Rubin put the devil mask on the Holy Emperor, the image sensed by Li Fan himself became clearer than ever before.
Therefore, Li Fan knew their entire actions like the back of his hand.
In the Yanfa Jue space, Li Fan looked at the deduced results of the Terminal Dissociation Disc's simulated personality report, and a strange light flashed in his eyes.
"Gathering spirits to ascend to immortality is powerful, but the efficiency of extracting energy is too low. Completely refining a world into nothingness can only increase a little immortal power. But if it is integrated into the soul refining formation of all living beings..."
"It can be said that everything is put to good use! Matter is transformed into energy, and spiritual thoughts are integrated and sublimated. Wonderful!"
Li Fan quickly deduced in his mind: "If before, I used this formation to sacrifice all the creatures in the small world..."
"If I can delay the Faceless Immortal's time, my time will be tripled!"
"Not only that, with this formation, we no longer have to rely too much on the You people."
No matter what he felt about Mo Rubin, Li Fan still cared very much about the advice he gave.
Li Fan listened carefully to the words "The immortal power in the mortal world is harmful rather than beneficial" and "One cannot become an immortal unless it is absolutely necessary".
As for the grudges with Mo Rubin.
We’ll talk about it in the next life.
"Hmph." Li Fan's eyes flashed, and he forcibly suppressed the vague thoughts that emerged in his mind, and turned his attention back to the newly born formation.
The Dissociation Disc created a personality and was still waiting for him to name the formation.
"All things in the world, whether living beings or spiritual powers, come from chaos and nothingness."
"Under this formation, all things return to their original state..."
"The name of the formation is [Infinite Spiritual Void]!"
As Li Fan's thoughts came to mind, the inside of the Final Dissociation Disc began to be enveloped by a chaotic yellow light.
The name of this [Initial Spiritual Void Formation] that Li Fanqie came up with naturally borrowed from the [Xuanyuan Shiling], an immortal-level formation that he had only glimpsed a little bit of.
Although the names of the formations are similar in momentum, their actual performances are by no means comparable.
However, Li is confident that as he continues to reincarnate and strengthen this Wushi Lingxu Formation, one day, the power of this formation will definitely not be inferior to [Xuanyuan Shiling].
"It's this formation that is too extreme. I don't think the Holy Emperor's clone will agree with me." Li Fan thought to himself.
This trip to the Holy Emperor was also a huge gain for Li Fan himself.
Not to mention the immortal-level formation that King Xuantian personally set up, which allowed the Dissociation Disc to obtain a large amount of data supplement.
Li Fan was jealous of the True Immortal's [will to survive] that Mo Rubin and the Holy Emperor were trying to avoid, as well as the dark power that had been condensed in the Dark Sea for thousands of years.
Compared with those who can only live one life, Li Fan will have enough time and enough cost of trial and error in the future to make use of all these secret treasures for himself.
The premise is...
Survive successfully.
"Although Mo Rubin is a bit hateful, what he said makes sense."
During this life, he is in seclusion in the Yanfa Jue space, and he has plenty of time to digest these gains.
…
The person who could decide the fate of Xuanhuang Realm had experienced everything that had turned the world upside down in just a few days. However, the common people in Xuanhuang Realm were not aware of this at all.
The same is true within the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
The level of secrecy in the Dark Sea is too high, and only a few Dharma transmitters know about this matter. They are now gathered together to discuss countermeasures.
Nowadays, the most discussed topic among the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is the message of the rainbow light from outside the realm.
More than three months have passed since the rainbow light carrying dozens of Hedao members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance left the Xuanhuang Realm.
Originally, the cultivators in the world would have thought that this group of Hedao would disappear without a trace after their departure.
Unexpectedly, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has mastered a method of long-distance communication, and from time to time will make public the information sent by the rainbow light from the world!
Originally, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was unable to do this.
Thanks to the sword light message coming from the depths of the starry sea.
After analysis, the Immortal Alliance successfully reproduced this communication technology and used it on the out-of-bounds rainbow light.
Because everyone in the Immortal Alliance was fortunate enough to see the scenery outside the Xuanhuang Realm.
"What is this? Why is it so dark?"
"The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is not trying to trick us, is it? This is no different from an ordinary space rift."
"Where is the Xuan Shang Immortal Boat that we promised to see at the other end of the Starry Sea?"
"Fortunately, I didn't choose to go, otherwise I would have been bored to death watching these things every day, right?"
"If you don't enter the Hedao, you are not qualified to go up to the Lijie Hongguang. May I ask what your current cultivation level is?"
"I have only been practicing for a hundred years, but I have already entered the Golden Elixir Dao. I think it will be easy to achieve the Dao!"
…
As for the video footage released by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance for unknown purposes, most of the cultivators just wanted to watch the fun and make their judgments.
But some people can see some clues from this quick glimpse.
Outside the abyss is the Broken Palm Immortal City.
Shang Shaojun has watched these scenes of the void outside the world over and over again dozens of times.
In addition to those released to the public by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, he also obtained some top-secret versions through certain special channels.
Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, Shang Shaojun staggered and came out of his contemplation.
"How do you feel, young master?"
The One who speaks is the first economy.
He coughed lightly and looked at Shang Shaojun as if he was enjoying a good show.
"The outside world is so dangerous. I pride myself on my strength, but if I encounter these disasters, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape death." Shang Shaojun said with lingering fear.
"It's okay, I am the same." Diyi Jinglun smiled, "So I told you that the white-robed sword fairy has become more and more curious."
The First Jing Lun suppressed the smile on his face and said, "Not only was he able to cross the void safely, but he was also able to send such crucial information from the other side of the starry sea... I have never heard of such a peerless genius before?"
Shang Shaojun also sighed: "It was from that day that I realized how many talented people there are in the world. I no longer underestimate other heroes."
"No, no, no, you don't understand what I mean." Diyi Jinglun shook his head. "I mean, the appearance of such a person is completely out of common sense."
Shang Shaojun was stunned.
The First Jing Lun stood up suddenly, fanned his feather fan, and said slowly: "At this time when the Dharma cannot be practiced together, not only are the techniques strictly controlled, but even the resources needed for advancement are also monitored by us at all times."
"For those independent cultivators, even if they have extraordinary luck, the Nascent Soul stage is their limit. If they want to go further, they will inevitably fall into the sight of our Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance before that. However, this white-robed swordsman you mentioned..."
"It's like he really popped out of a crack in a rock. No matter what, there is no trace of this person."
When Shang Shaojun heard the First Jing Lun being so serious, he was a little unconvinced: "How many hidden forces are there in the Xuanhuang Realm? How can the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance know all of them?"
The First Sutra fanned gently again, and light and shadow appeared in front of the two of them.
It was the scene where the Holy Fetus Li Fan displayed his divine power outside the Chizha Abyss and broke the devil's sound with his sword.
"Young Master, what do you think of this sword technique?" asked Diyi Jinglun.
"It is so exquisite, as if it were born naturally." Shang Shaojun answered without hesitation.
"This sword is the Xuanhuang Sword." The white jade fan in the hand of Diyi Jinglun also imitated the appearance of the Holy Fetus Li Fan in the image, and then a sword light actually flew out from the front end of the feather fan.
"Xuanhuang Sword..." Shang Shaojun savored these four words carefully.
"In the Xuanhuang Realm, there are quite a few people who practice the Way of the Sword. There are also many geniuses among them. So naturally they can see the clues of the swordsmanship displayed by this white-robed swordsman."
In the picture, every time the Holy Fetus Li Fan swung his sword, the First Jinglun would follow suit and wave his feather fan.
The same miniature sword lights echoed the images.
"Brother Jinglun, what exactly do you mean?" Shang Shaojun asked with a frown.
"Young Master, do you know who is in charge of the Heavenly Department?" Diyi Jinglun avoided answering and asked instead.
"I know that the Immortal Alliance monitors the principles of heaven and earth at all times through the Heavenly Official. In addition to being able to observe the spirit of heaven and earth, the most important thing is to be able to sense signs of going against the principles in advance." Shang Shaojun answered quickly.
"But what does this have to do with the Xuanhuang Sword you mentioned?"
"This sword is a wonder of nature. It points directly to the principles of heaven and earth." The First Jinglun said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words were spoken, Shang Shaojun seemed to understand something, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"The unusual movement of the sword was also observed by the Chief of Heaven before. However, it was very short-lived, lasting only less than half a month before it returned to normal. It did not involve the unusual phenomenon of the Heavenly Venerable, so the Chief of Heaven simply reported it as usual and sealed it in the file. I also saw this record at the time, but did not take it to heart. It was not until you mentioned this white-robed sword fairy that I connected them together." The First Sutra said slowly.
"Half a month?" Shang Shaojun was a little unbelievable.
At this point, if Shang Shaojun still doesn't understand what the other party means, then he is not worthy of guarding this abyss anymore.
The sword path has not been completely reversed, which means that the previous changes were in line with the Tao.
And it only took half a month from the time the abnormal movement occurred to the time it occurred, which meant that the white-robed swordsman he met...
He was not a strong man who had been in harmony with the Dao for a long time, but a lucky person who had just entered this realm.
But, is this possible?
The realm can be broken through in a moment or by chance, but the understanding of the way of the sword and the free and easy style of swinging the sword require time to accumulate.
Shang Shaojun's eyes once again flashed back to the various times when the Holy Fetus Li Fan was traveling with him.
"Maybe... this person is a genius?" he said uncertainly.
The First Jing Lun could not deny it and said, "Perhaps this is possible. But I would rather believe that an outsider lurked in our Xuanhuang Realm and used the Heavenly Sword Dao to break through to the state of Hedao. Then he lured us to the depths of the star sea..."
Shang Shaojun stretched out his hand to interrupt Diyi Jinglun's speech.
"Brother Jinglun, isn't this a bit too absurd?"
The First Jing Lun smiled and said, "It is just the most reasonable explanation after eliminating many impossibilities."
"This person has no roots at all, he was born out of nowhere."
"After the integration of the Dao, one can completely understand it... It is also one of the most complex sword arts among the principles of heaven and earth."
"If this person really accomplished all of this by himself without any foundation, I would like to call him the most talented person in the history of the Dharma."
"Moreover, from your description of him, this man easily won the hearts of the entire Broken Palm Immortal City with just a few words..."
The First Jinglun sneered again.
Shang Shaojun thought of more.
There are unruly people in the Immortal Alliance who want to restore order.
This was the man's repeated appeal.
After being guided, I did have such doubts. I even planned to join forces with a group of friends to find out the truth.
But what if that person has bad intentions?
If I cause internal strife in the Immortal Alliance and allow others to take advantage of the situation, wouldn't I become a traitor to the Xuanhuang Realm?
Thinking of this, Shang Shaojun couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
At this time, the First Economics also said: "When you found me before, I was indeed somewhat persuaded."
"But after some investigation, I found something wrong."
"Young Master, you are an important official of the Immortal Alliance. You must be careful with your words and actions."
Shang Shaojun nodded slightly and fell into deep thought.
"Don't act rashly before you find out the truth. If that person contacts you again, report it immediately. I will handle it."
After finishing his instructions, Diyi Jinglun left the Chizha Abyss in the white mist with a graceful figure.
It was only after a long time that Shang Shaojun reacted.
Originally, he wanted to incite the First Jinglun to rebel, but he was easily shaken by the other party.
Well-deserved of the title of [No. 1].
"What kind of person are you?" Shang Shaojun looked up at the starry sky, and the figure in white clothes, like a god in the sky, seemed to appear again in front of him.
Let’s not talk about the Xuanxian Boat on the other side of the starry sea for now.
Let’s talk about the rainbow light that is leaving the world and heading towards the Xuanxian Boat while traveling in the sea of stars.
After Lan Yu completed transmitting the effects recorded by the rainbow light to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, he focused his attention on the front.
It was pitch black all around, seemingly peaceful.
In fact, in his perception, the place was full of danger and potential dangers.
"Brother Lanyu, we have been out for so long, have we gained anything?"
Jinri's voice came from behind.
Lan Yu has never had a good impression of this Hedao who likes to join in the fun everywhere.
At this moment, he just responded calmly: "It's still a small gain."
Jin Riyin laughed and whispered to himself, "Brother Lan Yu, you said that in this sea of stars, we don't have to be bound by the power of the Heavenly Venerable. Does it mean that it will be easier to break through?"
"I heard that your skills were passed down from a great wizard in the past, perhaps from the fairy world. And I see that you seem to have become much younger in a short period of time..."
"Jin Ri, you've crossed the line." Lan Yu said in a deep voice, interrupting Jin Ri's words.
Jin Ri was not embarrassed at all. He bowed and left with a smile.
Lan Yu turned around and continued to monitor the dark void in the direction of the rainbow light.
I sighed inwardly.
The atmosphere on this flying boat, which is named "Wangzun", is now a bit subtle.
The protective rainbow light was almost completely consumed when escaping from the Immortal Ruins, but the flying boat did not slow down and rushed towards the other side of the starry sea.
But within just a few months, three Hedaos had died suddenly on the ship.
It would be fine if they died in a strange disaster outside the sea of stars, but the key is that these three people all died unclearly.
Everyone checked it out personally, but no one could figure out the truth behind the sudden death.
The three corpses were still lying quietly in the flying boat, their faces rosy, as if they were just sleeping.
But their inner selves, their entire souls, had been hollowed out without them realizing it.
"This is the harmony of the Tao." Lan Yu felt very heavy in his heart.
Among the three who fell, the one named [Qing Yan] was also a veteran Hedao like him, and his strength was not much inferior to his.
But he still died without any clear explanation.
Lan Yu even missed the fall of Xuan Huang Realm. At least, even if he fell, he could find out the cause of death.
"However, I heard that before we set off, those visions also showed abnormalities? It's really a troubled time."
Lan Yu, who had survived the catastrophe, instinctively felt something unusual.
Just as his thoughts were drifting, he was suddenly awakened by another shrill cry.
Lan Yu's expression changed, and realizing something was wrong, he immediately rushed towards the source of the sound.
When they arrived, they were already surrounded by four Hedaoists.
But the focus of everyone's horrified eyes was another corpse lying on the ground.
Lan Yu's pupils shrank sharply, because the one who died this time was none other than the Immortal Master Jin Ri, who had been trying to get close to him before!
Looking at Jin Ri's ruddy face and his lifeless body, Lan Yu couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.
Soon after, all the survivors on the flying boat arrived.
"Lao Guan, you should come."
Guan Xingxiu walked out slowly from the crowd with a serious expression.
After carefully examining the body of Jinri Xianzun, he made a judgment: "Same way of death."
There was an uproar among the crowd.
"Who the hell is that?"
"It's so aggrieved! We are all powerful and fearsome masters of the Hedao Sect, but we are being slaughtered in this small boat for no apparent reason!"
"We...why don't we go back? It's not that I'm afraid of death. If I had seen the legendary Xuanxian Boat and heard the Dao, I would have died. But what's going on now? If we tell people about it, I'm afraid we will lose face."
…
"Quiet!" Guan Xiuxing interrupted everyone's discussion impatiently.
"From now on, we must act together. We must not separate."
"There are disasters in the void from time to time, but there are people who realize the truth and commit murders."
Guan Xiuxing's words caused a huge uproar.
"What did you say?"
"Lao Guan, are you crazy? Although you are the head of the garrison and are specifically responsible for this, this is too outrageous."
Guan Xiuxing waved his hand to suppress the voices of the crowd.
"I have my reasons for saying this."
Behind Guan Xiuxing, a small golden sword rose into the air.
After circling in the air, it instantly flew towards Jin Ri's body lying on the ground.
A faint black thread was cut off from the corpse by the golden sword.
Guan Xiuxing pinched the thin thread, and the thread seemed to have its own life and was still struggling frantically.
After observing for a while, Lan Yu said in disbelief: "Xing Xiu, you mean that the murderer relied on this thread to easily kill those people?"
Guan Xiuxing was quite respectful to Lan Yu, so he nodded and said, "At the moment, that's exactly what happened."
"If there are any of you who don't believe it, you can try the power of this black line yourself."
"I'll do it!" Sun Luchang volunteered.
Soon, the experiment ended with several holes poked in his body.
This is the result when the black line was suppressed by the golden Falling Star Sword.
"How is this possible? How can a mere silk thread be so strong?" Sun Luchang was a little distraught.
The rest of the Hedao also looked in disbelief.
Guan Xingxiu glanced at everyone and said loudly: "Everyone, I know that you all hold important positions and respected status in the Immortal Alliance. But don't forget, we are now in the sea of stars!"
“I believe everyone has also felt that the upper limit of the laws in this star sea is far above the Xuanhuang Realm. In addition, without the shackles of the Heavenly Venerable, after being suppressed for a long time, once you realize the truth, your realm will advance by leaps and bounds... It is not impossible!”
Sun Luchang said unwillingly: "But even so, how could the gap be so big? It would be fine if he was defeated, but he couldn't even make a sound of struggling... If he really has such strength, why doesn't he just kill us all?"
Sun Luchang's words aroused everyone's agreement.
Lan Yu said at this time: "Perhaps it is because this person's skills are quite special. It's not because of overwhelming strength, but because the battle takes place within the sea of consciousness of the soul, which will not cause any energy fluctuations."
"As for this thin black line, it is the medium for launching the attack."
Lan Yu had the most seniority among the group, and after he spoke, everyone gradually became convinced.
"In that case, let's follow the clues and find this bastard!"
Following everyone's suggestion, Guan Xingxiu touched each surviving Hedao monk with the black thread.
No one was found to be related to it.
"The murderer is cautious and cunning, he would definitely not leave such an obvious flaw. In my opinion, it seems like he left it intentionally to mislead us." said the Hedao named Zimu.
"That may not be the case. He certainly didn't expect that Brother Guan would make such rapid progress that he could actually find the traces he left behind." Different opinions were immediately expressed among the crowd.
"Brother Guan, how did you attain enlightenment? I don't have any insights at all in this vast dark starry sky!"
"Yes, Lao Guan, you can tell us all about it. Now there is a murderer hiding in the dark, waiting for us covetously. Only if each of us understands the truth and increases our strength, we will not be defeated by him one by one."
Everyone was talking at once, and Guan Xiuxing had no choice but to talk about how he suddenly had an epiphany.
