Chapter 1280: Lan Yu Tiandu Secret (7K)
Guan Xingxiu talked eloquently in the flying boat. He was a little awkward at first, but he became more and more confident as he spoke, as if what he realized was the natural law of the sea of stars.
"The Star Sea Law can almost be regarded as a superior substitute for the Xuanhuang Law. Therefore, the key to our breakthrough is to find the [Star Sea Way] that corresponds to the Way we cultivate in this dead sea of stars. Since you can achieve the He Dao, I believe your aptitude must not be too weak. As long as you get rid of your fear of the Star Sea and hold a normal mind, just like when you were in the Xuanhuang Realm, and meditate quietly, I believe it will not be too difficult to do this."
Guan Xingxiu described in detail how he sensed his own way of the sea of stars. When he was getting excited, a panic-stricken voice suddenly interrupted him.
It was Zi Mu, one of the survivors: "Lao Guan, what if... I mean what if, in the sea of stars, the path that I practiced no longer exists, what should I do?"
Zi Mu stared at Guan Xingxiu closely: "Does this mean that the road ahead is blocked and there is no way forward?"
Guan Xingxiu remained silent.
The other members of the Hedao sect at the scene also had different expressions after hearing this.
Some looked pale, while others were extremely grateful.
Because they also discovered that, perhaps due to the various disasters that destroyed the fairy world in the past, the laws of the star sea were broken and incomplete.
It’s not that they are not talented enough and cannot sense the way of the starry sea.
But in the sea of stars, this path has disappeared.
"Perhaps, we can try to sense other laws. After all, all paths in the world lead to the same destination." Seeing that a feeling of despair was beginning to spread, Guan Xingxiu suggested after thinking for a moment.
But he was ruthlessly refuted: "If it is under the Hedao, if it is a cultivator from other worlds, maybe it can be done. But we, the Xuanhuang Hedao, have already devoured the soul of heaven and earth, and our bodies have become one with the laws. Humph, how easy is it to change to other paths?"
"In that case, the one among us who is likely to achieve the highest achievement must be Brother Lanyu." The Hedao named Qingshuang suddenly said something inexplicably.
The flying boat suddenly fell into silence, and everyone's eyes were focused on Lan Yu.
Lan Yu himself did not refute this point.
There is no other reason, because among all the people who are in harmony with the Dao present, or in the entire Xuanhuang Realm, he is the most special.
It is the only ancient method that conforms to the Tao.
Not being bound to the principles of the mysterious heaven and earth meant that in this sea of silent stars, any law and Lan Yu could be used to achieve enlightenment and breakthrough.
"Brother Lan Yu, you haven't shown any signs of a breakthrough yet. Isn't it because you have too many choices and are overwhelmed?"
"Congratulations in advance, Fellow Daoist Lan!"
"Hey! New method! Hey! Tianzun!"
For a moment, everyone reacted differently.
Lan Yu looked serious and just casually responded to everyone, but in his heart, he was really puzzled.
Because he did not sense the way of the sea of stars in the void.
"Could it be that my aptitude is so poor? Or is it that I am too old and have lost all my spirituality?"
Lan Yu was a little dazed for a moment.
"Oh, I think I remember now."
"I, Wu Fuqiu, don't seem to have very good qualifications."
Lan Yu was stunned for a moment, his thoughts seeming to have returned to his youth.
At that time, the immortal way was flourishing and the ten sects were established. He was just one of the countless ordinary cultivators under the ten sects. He had ordinary talent and no special experiences. Originally, the Golden Core Realm should have been his limit.
But that day, a moment of curiosity completely changed his destiny.
"My fellow Daoist, there is such a big scene ahead, what happened?" Wu Fuqiu asked curiously as he looked at the blocked road ahead and the flying boats of different styles and as big as cities flying overhead one after another.
"Hush, keep your voice down. If you disturb the Ten Sects' [Respect for the Master Ceremony], you might end up dead without knowing why."
The silence and awe-filled looks from the others made Wu Fuqiu even more curious.
After a full half day, the ten huge parade fleets finally passed by and the air route was reopened.
However, Wu Fuqiu looked at the direction where the ten sects left and was unwilling to leave for a long time.
After some inquiries, he learned that this so-called "Grand Ceremony of Respecting the Master" was a grand ceremony held every hundred years by the ten sects of the Immortal Dao to express gratitude to the great master Tiandu for his grace in bestowing the Dharma. All the important figures of the ten sects would attend.
Wu Fuqiu didn't know who the Great Master Tiandu was.
However, the mighty reputation of the ten immortal sects that dominated the world of immortal cultivation was well-known to him, even though Wu Fuqiu was just a casual cultivator in the wilderness.
"The ten sects are already so amazing, how powerful is the great magician who bestowed the ten sects with magic?"
"If I'm lucky enough to be appreciated by him..."
Wu Fuqiu was shocked. At the same time, unprecedented ambitions suddenly arose in his heart.
After thinking it over again and again, he was ultimately unable to shake off the evil thoughts that lingered in his heart.
Heading towards the legendary Tiandu.
After going through so much trouble to get outside Tiandu, all the hope in my heart turned into bubbles in an instant.
Its shadow could not be seen in the sky. Only a Yuandao Palace standing tall in the mountains was faintly visible in the clouds.
At the foot of the mountain, there were many young monks who, like him, had come here across mountains and rivers in search of adventure with a little fantasy.
Wu Fuqiu was suddenly confused.
He knew that Tiandu was the palace of the great wizard. What was this Yuandao Palace?
"You don't even know Daoyuan Palace? Where did this bumpkin come from? The source of all things, the head of all paths. Even if you are a direct descendant of the Ten Immortal Sects, you still have to line up here!"
"Think about it carefully! Who is the Great Master? How can you ordinary people easily see him? If you want to see the Great Master's face, you must first enter the Yuandao Palace and pray devoutly. If you can enter the eyes of the Great Master, he will lead you to the Heavenly Capital."
"What? You want to go in too? No problem. Pay one thousand high-grade spirit stones and you can go there and queue up!"
Wu Fuqiu was pushed out in a daze by the swarm of newcomers.
One thousand high-grade spirit stones were enough to buy a good Nascent Soul technique. If he had so many spirit stones, would he have to come all the way here to ask for an opportunity?
Although he was short of money, Wu Fuqiu did not intend to leave just like that.
Because he found that there were many people like him who could not afford to go up the mountain.
Wu Fuqiu spent half a month getting familiar with them and finally got an important piece of news.
The so-called Yuan Dao Palace was only built by the Ten Sects later and had no actual relationship with the real Tiandu.
The real source of the Dao refers to the large area below Tiandu. However, the ten sects have circled a large part of it and built the Source of Dao Palace.
But he did not do everything, and left a piece of land at the foot of the mountain.
"The Grand Master hasn't appeared in who knows how many years. It is said that it is easier to catch the Grand Master's eye in the mountains, but in fact it is just a consolation."
"Yes, the great wizard is high up in the sky. In his eyes, there is no difference between being on the mountain and at the foot of the mountain."
Curled up and squatting on the ground as everyone was talking, Wu Fuqiu also settled down at the foot of Daoyuan Palace Mountain.
This wait lasted for a full twenty years.
Some people came, some left. Some died with regrets, and some were beaten to death because they cursed the master with hatred.
Wu Fuqiu also grew from a young man to a middle-aged man.
He didn't know what it was that allowed him to stay here.
Maybe for a mediocre person like him, it would be the same wherever he goes.
During these years, he did not neglect his cultivation while squatting. However, without a source of spiritual stones, he could only live off the land. Although the spiritual energy in the Daoyuan Land was rich, it could not withstand so many people absorbing it at the same time.
Not only is there no progress at all, there are even signs of regression.
When things came to this point, Wu Fuqiu accepted his fate and no longer had any unrealistic fantasies.
Anyway, he had been an orphan since childhood, drifting and helpless. Having stayed at the foot of Yuandao Palace Mountain for more than 20 years, he had already gotten used to the scenery here. In his heart, he regarded this place as his hometown.
Whenever a young person came here with hope and begged for the master's blessing, he would just smile and say nothing.
It was as if I saw myself back then.
But he did not burst the fantasies of these young people.
Because anyone who did this was cleaned out by the people from the Ten Sects.
However, this is the mystery of the world.
Just when Wu Fuqiu had completely forgotten the great wizard's gift...
On this day, the sky suddenly burst into colorful clouds.
Thousands of monks were stunned at the foot of Yuandao Palace.
I don’t know who shouted first, but the great wizard has appeared!
Then, in a state of extreme excitement and fear, a large number of monks knelt on the ground.
Only Wu Fuqiu stood there in a daze as his mind went blank.
"How dare you! How dare you disrespect the Archmage!"
A flash of sword light, accompanied by a roar of anger, came from afar.
Just as Wu Fuqiu was about to be beheaded, a blue feather slowly floated down from the sky.
The white sword light was launched first, at an incredibly fast speed.
The blue feathers fell backwards, swaying unsteadily and abnormally slowly.
However, a strange scene happened. In full view of everyone, the blue feather actually flew ahead of the white sword light and landed on Wu Fuqiu.
The sword light came late, but it did not cut off Wu Fuqiu's head. It just passed through his body and killed the three monks who were kneeling behind him on the spot.
As for Wu Fuqiu himself...
Enshrouded in the blue feather light, he slowly rose into the air uncontrollably.
Amid the exclamations of the crowd, we kept going up.
After passing the Daoyuan Palace on the top of the mountain and flying through the clouds, they arrived at the gate of a purple gold Taoist temple in a flash.
Wu Fuqiu stood there for a long time as if in a dream before he came to his senses.
His body was shaking with excitement, and Wu Fuqiu even forgot about etiquette and walked in directly by pushing the door.
Unlike the holy heaven I imagined, there is no one here.
Quiet and dead silent.
Only the faint sound of chanting could be heard from inside.
Wu Fuqiu followed the direction of the sound and carefully came to the deepest part of the dojo.
The quaint purple gold wooden building exudes bursts of fragrance.
Wu Fuqiu knelt down and saluted, but after a long time without receiving any response, he mustered up the courage to push the door open and walk in.
The scene inside the wooden building came into view.
A blurry figure sat cross-legged, muttering to himself.
Behind him, a boy in blue and white clothes stood with his eyes closed.
The boy has red lips, white teeth and a delicate face, and it is hard to tell whether he is a boy or a girl.
However, Lan Yu noticed that the boy seemed to have had a fight with someone. His Taoist robe was somewhat damaged and had faint traces of blood on it.
Wu Fuqiu did not dare to act rashly and kowtowed again.
But neither the figure nor the boy showed any expression.
"This figure should be the Great Master Tiandu."
After a long time, Wu Fuqiu bravely stood up and sat cross-legged like the shadow.
Listen carefully to the other party's constant chanting.
Gradually, he seemed to understand something.
The blue feather that had disappeared after landing on him suddenly appeared in his dantian.
"Feather Transformation Technique..."
"The universe has endless epochs, and countless worlds have been born and destroyed, like feathers falling from the sky."
"Turning your body into feathers, you can be in tune with the world, following the flow of the eras, experiencing life and death, crossing disasters, and transcending forever..."
Wu Fuqiu listened with fascination, sometimes frowning, sometimes delighted.
This [Wanjie Huayu Gong] was too profound for a mere foundation-building cultivator like him.
But even just a glimpse of it was enough to give him an epiphany, and his inner realm continued to rise.
Wu Fuqiu was immersed in it and didn't know how much time had passed.
Suddenly he felt a flickering light in front of his eyes, which woke him up.
The boy who had been standing there with his eyes closed waved to him.
Although no words were spoken, Wu Fuqiu understood that he was being driven away.
Even though he was extremely reluctant, Wu Fuqiu had no choice but to retreat quietly.
Before leaving the Purple Gold Wood Building, he politely closed the door.
Before the door closed, a stream of light flew out.
Wu Fuqiu took it subconsciously and found that it was a miniature building shaped like a ring.
"Magic weapon, martial arts arena."
“It also has storage function.”
After Wu Fuqiu took a quick look, a look of delight appeared on his face.
He kowtowed and knelt inside again, and did this three times before leaving Tiandu.
Only then did he come to his senses. After he left the Purple Gold Wood Building, he could no longer hear the voice of the sitting shadow.
A sense of loss welled up in Wu Fuqiu's heart, and he even suddenly had the urge to go back.
But he was the great wizard of the ten sects of immortality after all, so he did not dare to act rashly and left the scope of the heavenly city.
When he returned to the world, he was shocked to find that the Daoyuan Palace at the foot of the mountain had disappeared for some reason.
Even the surrounding terrain has changed greatly, as if a great war had broken out here.
Wu Fuqiu searched for a long time before he found a living monk in the surrounding area.
From the other party's respectful attitude, Wu Fuqiu was shocked to find that he had become a top-level powerhouse in the Xuanhuang Realm and a cultivator in the Hedao realm without realizing it!
And hundreds of years have already passed.
The rule of the ten immortal sects is no longer as solid as a rock, and an organization called the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has emerged...
"Fellow Daoist Lan Yu?"
Guan Xingxiu's voice woke Lan Yu from her memories.
"Yes, I am just a mediocre person who achieved the Dao through luck."
"Over the years, the compliments from my disciples and subordinates almost made me forget this fact."
Lan Yu suddenly felt relieved.
“If my aptitude was not so poor, I would not have cultivated the magnificent [Ten Thousand Tribulations Transformation into Feathers] only to the Hedao realm.”
"Without the teachings of the great wizard, I have made no progress in thousands of years."
Lan Yu secretly shook his head, his thoughts returned to reality, and he looked at Guan Xingxiu: "I believe in your judgment. Since the murderer is hiding among us, we just need to gather together and wait for him to reveal his flaws."
Lan Yu paused, and continued, "This person just broke through, and he couldn't wait to commit murder. If it's not due to psychological reasons, it must be because of his cultivation method, which made him have to sacrifice other cultivators after the breakthrough. From now on, he will definitely not stop."
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded and confirmed Lan Yu's judgment.
In order to protect themselves, this group of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance stayed in the lobby of the Wangzun flying boat and supervised each other.
However, the murderer's cunning was beyond their imagination.
Another nine days later, when everyone controlled the flying boat and successfully passed a remaining disaster in the void.
There was another body on the flying boat.
Lan Yu and Guan Xingxiu looked at each other and confirmed the death of Zi Mu.
The pressure in my heart increased a bit in an instant.
"Lao Guan? We are all together this time, right? You are the strongest among the group. Did you realize which bastard did it?!"
Facing everyone's expectant eyes, Guan Xingxiu shook his head helplessly.
There was an uproar in the lobby.
"Everyone calm down. We were all concentrating on dealing with the Void Disaster just now, so we were careless and were ambushed by the murderer again."
"What should I do next? If I don't avoid this disaster, I will die. If I avoid it, I will be assassinated..."
"Hmph, in my opinion, we don't need to bother trying to avoid disasters from now on. The worst that can happen is that we will all perish together!"
"Brother Xu, don't say such angry words. We still have so many people!"
"No, I want to leave this ship!"
When everyone was talking, suddenly a sharp cry drowned out all other sounds.
Lan Yu and the others looked over and saw that Qingshuang Hedao, who had been relatively calm before, suddenly seemed to have a mental breakdown.
His expression was mad, with a hint of madness in his eyes.
While muttering to himself, he was about to rush out of the lobby and leave the flying boat.
"Stop him!" Guan Xingxiu shouted angrily.
Only Lan Yu and a few others took action.
Being inside the flying boat, everyone was restrained in their attempts to take action for fear of causing damage to the boat.
For a moment, he was helpless in dealing with this mad Qingshuang.
Just when the situation was at a stalemate, Qingshuang suddenly stopped moving.
The expression on his face was frozen and he just stood there in a daze.
Before everyone could react, Guan Xingxiu's expression changed and he immediately flew forward to check.
"Dead."
After a moment, he turned around with an extremely grim expression and said.
A chill instantly enveloped everyone.
Compared to his initial attack, the murderer's methods seemed to have become more skilled.
Dealing with the void disaster just now could be used as an excuse, but now everyone is indeed watching with full concentration.
But the murderer still commits crimes recklessly...
How to prevent this?
The flying boat fell into deathly silence.
"I think that what Qingshuang said before she died is not without reason." Sun Luchang spoke, breaking the silence.
"From the current situation, the killer's strength is growing too fast. Perhaps soon, after killing more people, he will no longer need to act secretly. Instead, he will appear directly and kill us all openly. Staying on the ship is definitely a dead end. It is better for each of us to abandon the ship and survive in the void."
Sun Luchang's words also aroused the agreement of other Hedao: "Yes, this [Wangzun] flying boat is extremely fast. As long as we leave separately at regular intervals, the relative distance between us in the starry sea will be very far. The starry sea is vast, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he will definitely not be able to catch us all in one fell swoop!"
"Besides, this place is still within the range of the Immortal Ruins' suction. As long as we follow the direction of the suction, we can return to the Xuanhuang Realm. In addition, each of us has a Kongming Liujing magic weapon distributed by the Immortal Alliance, so returning safely is not a problem."
…
You said something, I said something, and we gradually reached a consensus.
In the end, more than half of the people chose to give up and get off the ship midway.
Guan Xingxiu looked towards Lan Yu, seeking the advice of this most senior Hedaoist.
Lan Yu sighed slightly: "The world is big, but life is the most important. It is understandable that they made such a choice."
"In order to avoid further casualties, let's make this decision."
"Mr. Lan, aren't you leaving?"
Lan Yu shook his head: "My time is coming to an end. If I go back, I will just wait for death. It is better to seek a glimmer of hope in the void."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. After expressing their blessings, they left the flying boat one after another and returned to the Xuanhuang Realm.
It is a pity to die in the middle of exploring the starry sea.
But it's better than losing your life.
After all the trouble, only five people were left on the flying boat.
Lan Yu, Guan Xiuxing, Sun Luchang, Xu Guanhai, and Zimei.
Guan Xiuxing looked at Xu Guanhai in surprise: "You didn't leave?"
Xu Guanhai chuckled: "I think that with so many people gone, it's safer on the flying boat now."
"Besides, no matter what, I still want to see the Xuan Shang Immortal Boat with my own eyes."
Xu Guanhai looked at Sun Luchang and said, "Brother Sun, you seem a little strange, don't you? When everyone was clamoring to leave, weren't you the one who shouted the loudest? Why did you stay?"
Sun Luchang was a little embarrassed: "I am too weak. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to return to Xuanhuang Realm by my own strength if I leave the flying boat. It would be safer to stay here."
Everyone was speechless when they heard this.
They saw that what Sun Luchang said was indeed true.
Unlike them who volunteered, Sun Luchang was forcibly arranged to the flying boat by the Immortal Alliance, and his strength was the lowest among everyone.
Sun Luchang moved closer to where Guan Xingxiu and Lan Yu were and said, "Tell me, guys, is there a murderer among us?"
The other four people looked at each other, their expressions were somewhat subtle.
No one can guarantee anything until the murderer's identity is revealed.
"Since everyone has decided to stay, then our original route will remain unchanged." After a moment of silence, Guan Xingxiu said loudly, "We can reduce the space of the [Wang Zun] flying boat and speed up our journey."
"By the way, Xing Xiu. Why is this flying boat called [Wang Zun]? I always feel that this name is a bit ominous."
After hearing Guan Xiuxing's words, Lan Yu remembered something and asked with a frown.
Guan Xingxiu was slightly startled, then replied: "I don't know either. It was the order of the Dharma teachers themselves. I guess it should be the intention of [going to see the Heavenly Venerable]."
After these words were spoken, Lan Yu frowned even more tightly.
He looked up at the flying boat and asked a question that made the other four people present shudder: "Apart from us, are there other people on this flying boat?"
"Probably... not." Guan Xingxiu said hesitantly.
At this time, Zimei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Maybe? This ship is alive?"
Sun Lu was startled and asked quickly, "Why do you say that, Brother Zi?"
Zimei said softly: "I comprehended the way of the sea of stars, and watched the lives of the Dao in the flying boat withering like ants. So I made a breakthrough."
"From what I sense, this flying boat..."
“It’s like it has its own life.”
Zimei's words made everyone shudder.
Guan Xingxiu hesitated and said, "If it is true, then the Immortal Alliance will definitely..."
Having said this, Guan Xingxiu suddenly stopped talking.
The golden Falling Star Sword above his head emitted golden light, and Guan Xingxiu gathered together all the black threads extracted from the assassinated He Dao.
Like a living worm, the silk threads merged together and became a little thicker.
Before this, he had already brought this weapon into contact with every monk present, and no one had any reaction to it.
But the only thing missing was the ship itself.
The last five people on the flying boat looked at each other and reached a consensus instantly.
Form a formation with the black line surrounding the center.
"Lao Guan, go to the flying boat control center." Xu Guanhai said in a deep voice.
These words seemed to anger the black line, causing it to madly strike the seal that trapped it.
The five people of Hedao joined forces to lock it tightly.
All the way to the center of the [Wangzun] flying boat.
Guan Xingxiu took a deep breath and opened the flying boat's main control array.
In the center of the formation, the shadow of Wangzun’s flying boat was floating.
As if guided by some mysterious force, the black line that was surrounded by the crowd floated uncontrollably towards the phantom in the main control formation!
All five of them turned pale at the same time.
boom!
At this moment, the flying boat suddenly shook violently.
That thick black line suddenly exploded with an impact force several times greater than before, instantly breaking free from the restraints of everyone.
Returned to the shadow of the flying boat.
At this point, the truth has become clear!
The culprit who killed several Hedao people was actually the flying boat they were riding on!
This is simply an unimaginable conclusion.
Even though the facts were now before his eyes, Guan Xingxiu still found it somewhat unbelievable.
"Why..." he said through gritted teeth.
As the nominal commander of this operation appointed by the Immortal Alliance and having control over the Wangzun Flying Boat.
This creature, which was originally under his control, actually killed his colleagues right under his nose!
It's a blatant humiliation!
bass!
The Falling Star Sword was unsheathed and pointed directly at the shadow of the flying boat.
The next moment, Guan Xingxiu was about to cut the flying boat in half with one sword.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly echoed in the space.
"The ultimate mission goal of this trip: to meet the Heavenly Lord."
"After deduction, the possibility of the mission is low."
"Searching for solutions..."
"After deduction, every time a Hedao cultivator on the flying boat is converted into energy for the flying boat, the probability of mission success increases by one..."
The sound of the flying boat flashing constantly made everyone feel like they were falling into an icy cave.
And then, dozens of corpses floated out of the picture one after another, making them even more furious.
They were exactly those Hedao monks who had "disembarked" before!
