Chapter 403: Internal and External Events [Combined Chapter]
When the monks from the Medicine King Sect saw Xiao Heng and the other two respectfully calling them "seniors", their faces were filled with surprise.
He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Why do you say that, fellow Taoists? Are you trying to make fun of me?"
"We are all Nascent Soul cultivators, so we can just call each other peers."
He said to Zhang Haobo and Su Xiaomei.
"Nascent Soul cultivator?"
After careful observation, Xiao Heng and his friends realized that the cultivator in front of them, who had been sleeping for thousands of years, seemed to be only at the Nascent Soul stage.
But the feeling it gives people is very different from that of today's Nascent Soul cultivators.
That's why they didn't recognize it just now.
No matter what, it is not easy for Nascent Soul cultivators from ancient times to survive to this day.
Xiao Heng and the others did not let down their guard and were thinking about how to continue the conversation and get some information out of them.
But I heard the other party talking like a chatterbox, saying a lot of words at once.
"I am Linghu Chang, an inner disciple of the Medicine King Sect."
"When we fell into the Xuanhuang Realm, I remember that the sect master had already sealed off the entire Medicine King Cauldron and sent out a request for help to the outside world."
"Since you are able to enter the Medicine King Cauldron, it must mean that the rescue from the Ten Immortal Sects has arrived."
"I wonder how the other brothers are doing now? Has the sect leader woken up?"
As Linghu Chang spoke, he excitedly walked towards the door.
But when he caught a glimpse of the strange expressions on Xiao Heng and the other two's faces, he couldn't help but be startled.
"Could there be some unexpected event?"
After saying that, he hurried out of the house.
Seeing this, Xiao Heng and his companions hurriedly followed.
"Hmm? What's going on? Why is the [Great Dream Spring and Autumn] formation still running?"
"I'm the only one who woke up early?"
"Where are the rescue monks from the ten immortal sects?"
…
Linghu Chang's doubtful voice echoed in the empty Medicine King Cauldron.
"The Gate of Life and Death has fallen? What happened to the Sect Master?"
"What on earth is going on?"
There was some suppressed panic in his voice. After looking around, he flew back to Xiao Heng and the other two.
He stared at her and asked, "Who are you guys and how did you get into my sect's Medicine King Cauldron?"
Xiao Heng pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "This matter is a bit complicated. Daoist friend may need to be mentally prepared."
Linghu Chang narrowed his eyes and listened quietly to what was said next.
"In fact, fellow Daoist has been asleep for thousands of years. The Medicine King Cauldron broke through the boundary and left in ancient times..."
Before Xiao Heng could finish his words, Linghu Chang was interrupted by a wave of his hand.
He was so angry that he laughed instead, "What nonsense! Do you really think that my Medicine King Sect's [Great Dream Spring and Autumn Formation] is just a decoration? You even got the number of years of sleep wrong?"
"You said 24 years was thousands of years. If you want to fool people, you should at least make it more convincing, right?"
Linghu Chang had a bad look on his face, and he clapped his hands lightly, and a gourd appeared in his hands.
"No wonder I felt you were weird the first time I saw you. It turns out you are evil heretics who want to deceive me."
"Die!"
As Linghu Chang spoke, dozens of green rays burst out from the gourd in an instant.
As sharp as a sword, as fast as lightning.
In an instant, he arrived in front of Xiao Heng and the other two.
"Xiao Heng, be careful!" Zhang Haobo was furious as he did not expect Linghu Chang to kill him without any explanation.
The blood sea and cave above his head suddenly became clear. Amid the rolling blood waves, a blood-red light flew out and collided head-on with the green thin blade.
“Boom boom!”
Amid the violent explosion, Linghu Chang raised his head and glanced at the endless sea of blood above him, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
But it made me more confident in my judgment.
He was full of righteousness and shouted angrily: "You are indeed a demon from the devilish way, why don't you quickly accept it..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard several voices speaking in unison from all directions.
"You're really annoying. Since a while ago, you've been saying weird, incomprehensible things."
"Have you slept for too long and haven't woken up yet?"
Linghu Chang looked and saw that many faceless and bloody figures had surrounded him without him noticing.
"It's okay. Let us help you sober up."
Many faceless bloody faces tilted their heads and let out bursts of strange laughter.
Then his figure disappeared from the spot and pounced towards Linghu Chang.
Linghu Chang's heart tightened, but he was not panicked.
A small medicine king cauldron came out of his mouth and hung above his head.
Then the light fell like a waterfall, forming a protective shield.
At the same time, clap the gourd.
The green gourd kept spinning in the air, and scimitar-like fine rays suddenly poured out from it like a rainstorm.
Attacked Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo.
Xiao Heng knew that with his current strength, he could not interfere in the battle at the Nascent Soul level.
If you force it, it will become a burden.
So he retreated quietly, trying to get away from the battlefield.
At this moment, he suddenly smelled an inexplicable fragrance.
Thinking of the name of the other party, who was a disciple of the Medicine King Sect, he couldn't help but be shocked.
"Be careful, this smell seems strange."
He quickly sent a message to remind them, while holding his breath to resist the fragrance.
However, Xiao Heng was simply unable to resist the fragrance in some unknown way.
The fragrance became stronger and stronger, and Xiao Heng suddenly felt dizzy and even his body became weak.
In contrast, Zhang Haobo and Su Xiaomei just paused for a moment and then returned to normal.
The green light of the willow leaves in the gourd seemed endless, and the protection of the Small Medicine King Cauldron was watertight.
The attacks of Zhang and Su only caused it to shake, and could not break the defense of Xiao Ding for a while.
"Haobo, don't hold back!" Su Xiaomei seemed to be angry.
A red sun rose into the sky and leaped over the sea of blood.
The countless bloody faces that were torn into pieces by the fine rays of the green gourd were instantly reassembled into an angry face.
The extremely ferocious giant face suddenly caught fire under the shining red sun.
He let out a strange laugh and bumped into Linghu Chang who was under the protection of the Small Medicine King Cauldron.
And the boundless sea of blood slowly separated from the center.
A giant festering hand stretched out from the bottom of the sea.
Grabbed towards Linghu Chang.
Faced with the attack from two people, the disciple of Medicine King Sect looked solemn but not panicked.
With a slight wave of his right hand, a row of twenty-four golden needles unfolded one by one.
He muttered something, and suddenly the golden needle became like a sword, drawing shining and crisscrossing thin lines in the air.
He avoided the burning bloody face and the festering giant hands and went straight to Zhang Haobo and Su Xiaomei's real bodies.
These golden needles are extremely fast.
In a flash, the two of them had no time to react before they were pierced through.
There were many holes pierced in the body.
The strange thing was that there was no blood gushing out of the two of them.
Even the offensive seemed unaffected.
"boom!"
The Small Medicine King Cauldron vibrated violently, and Linghu Chang suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
His face turned a little pale, but he immediately took out a pill and swallowed it in front of everyone.
After a moment, Linghu Chang's complexion became rosy again.
"What kind of evil method is that..."
He couldn't help feeling a little frightened as he looked at the two people who were still able to recover even though their bodies were constantly pierced by the [Golden Needle of Reincarnation].
He hesitated for a moment, and a trace of pain flashed in his eyes.
Linghu Chang took out another round mirror.
Holding the mirror in his hand, a beam of white light shot out and shone towards Su Xiaomei.
The round mirror slowly turned into powder, and Su Xiaomei, who was reflected in the mirror, had an illusory figure slowly appearing behind her.
She actually looks 80% like Su Xiaomei.
The phantom roared angrily, and his hair turned red in an instant.
Afterwards, he created several faceless, bloody clones and attacked Su Xiaomei.
It seems that even Su Xiaomei's innate magical powers and martial arts techniques can be copied.
On Zhang Haobo's side, another festering hand stretched out from the sea of blood.
And deep in the sea, there seems to be a line of sight peering at the outside world.
Linghu Chang saw this and thought about it.
He took out a wooden talisman sword to deal with it.
The wooden sword flew over the sea of blood, summoning a ray of green lightning from the air, which struck down on its head.
Two giant rotten hands blocked it and were crackled by the thunder.
Strands of lightning were entwined on the wooden talisman sword.
The green lightning is endless.
Although the festering giant hand looked extremely miserable, it was completely powerless to fight back.
But no matter how serious the injury is, it will recover quickly.
The battle reached a stalemate.
Linghu Chang relied on many magical weapons and seemingly endless supplies of elixirs to remain invincible.
Su Xiaomei and Zhang Haobo relied on the characteristics of the new method [The cave is immortal, the monks are immortal], although they were a little embarrassed.
But there is no actual danger.
For a while, neither side could do anything to the other.
Each of them was filled with awe.
"Who are these people? Their skills are so strange. Even though I have a lot of reserves, I'm afraid I can only last for ten days or half a month. If I can't defeat them by then, I'm afraid I will have to escape to the outside world and ask for reinforcements." Linghu Chang said in his heart.
"It's so infuriating. He's just like Shuo Feng, bullying others by relying on his magic weapons. When his magic weapons are exhausted, I will definitely beat him up severely." Su Xiaomei was furious. Her men attacked one after another, but they were unable to break through the endless blockade of magic weapons.
"This Linghu Chang is just an inner sect disciple. It is said that in ancient sects, there are also true disciples and Taoist disciples. It is really hard to imagine how powerful they can be." Zhang Haobo thought to himself.
When the three of them were fighting.
Xiao Heng, who was under the influence of the incense, gradually recovered.
"Stop fighting!"
"Fellow Daoist Linghu, this is all a misunderstanding!"
"I can swear to God that I am not lying!"
"Thousands of years have indeed passed since your time. The world has changed drastically, and even the Ten Immortal Sects you mentioned have long since disappeared into the dust of history!"
"Think about it, if we really wanted to deceive you, why would we make up such an outrageous excuse?"
…
Xiao Heng shouted one sentence after another.
After hearing about the great changes in the world and the fact that the ten immortal sects had been reduced to ashes, Linghu Chang couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Fellow Daoist Linghu, Sect Master Liu's premonition was correct! He saved everyone in your sect!"
Hearing this, Linghu Chang's offensive finally slowed down.
"Little sister, Haobo, stop it too!" Xiao Heng called out hurriedly.
Although she was extremely unhappy, Su Xiaomei still stopped the attack.
However, Su and Zhang had not yet put away their cave realms and were still staring at Linghu Chang vigilantly.
"Fellow Daoist Linghu, every word I said is true." Xiao Heng said sincerely.
"Could it be that because too much time has passed, something went wrong with your sect's [Great Dream Spring and Autumn] formation?" he asked tentatively.
As he spoke, he took out a small medicine king cauldron from his storage ring.
"This small tripod was dug out from your clan's original remains."
"It's because of it that we can get in here."
"With your vision, I believe you should be able to tell the truth from the false."
Xiao Heng spoke frankly and honestly.
When Linghu Chang saw the small tripod in Xiao Heng's hand, which revealed an air of vicissitudes of life, his pupils suddenly shrank.
Almost stagnant.
He could naturally tell that the Medicine King Cauldron with some defects must be a defective product that had not been dealt with in time during the migration.
But the traces of time on it cannot be faked.
So what is going on?
Could it be that there really is something wrong with the formation’s chronology?
Linghu Chang did not answer and hurried back to his room.
Confirmed it again carefully.
Absolutely right.
Ever since the Great Dream Spring and Autumn formation was activated, the entire sect has fallen into a deep sleep.
Indeed, only twenty-four years had passed.
"So, those monsters outside are lying?"
Linghu Chang's murderous intent gradually resurfaced.
At this moment, he suddenly heard the other party say: "By the way, there is actually a very simple verification method."
"After the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, immortal methods cannot be practiced together."
"If you don't believe it, you can try to practice your own skills."
"You'll know the result once you see it."
When Linghu Chang heard this, his first thought was that it was ridiculous.
It’s not the legendary state of immortality, so there is no reason why we can’t practice together.
However, he heard Xiao Heng's sincerity and with an attitude of giving it a try, Linghu Chang started to practice the true teachings of the Medicine King Sect, "The Sutra of Saving the World and Longevity".
The next moment, he was completely stunned.
The spiritual energy circulated for several cycles, but it seemed to be in vain.
Not only did his cultivation level not improve at all, but a voice also sounded in his sea of consciousness.
"The Book of Longevity and Saving the World: The Hedao Kungfu."
"Current number of practitioners: 462."
"What's this?"
His face turned pale and beads of sweat began to drip from Linghu Chang's forehead.
"No, no. I must be hallucinating."
He couldn't believe it at all.
He took out a few pills and swallowed them whole.
As if possessed, he started practicing his skills again.
Over and over again, after a hundred weeks.
Not only did his cultivation level not change, but he even felt more annoyed.
There was even an inexplicable feeling in my mind.
He could clearly sense the locations of the other 461 fellow disciples who were also practicing the Sutra of Saving the World and Immortality.
"Kill them! Kill them all!"
A thought suddenly popped into his mind.
But he reacted immediately and shuddered.
"How could this happen? How could this happen..."
What he was experiencing at this moment had completely surpassed his previous understanding.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Linghu Chang already understood it in his heart.
What the three people outside said is very likely to be true.
He and the others had only slept for a while, which was not even as long as a retreat.
But thousands of years have passed in the Xuanhuang Realm.
"But……"
"How could this be?"
In panic, Linghu Chang fell into endless confusion.
After hearing that there was no movement in the house, Xiao Heng and others walked in.
"Fellow Daoist, is what we said true?" Xiao Heng said softly.
Linghu Chang did not respond.
"In fact, we are also very curious about what happened to Yaowang Sect back then."
"Why don't you tell me in detail what happened after Sect Master Liu used the tripod as a boat and broke through the realm and left."
“Maybe by pooling our wisdom, we can figure out why all this happened.”
Xiao Heng continued to persuade.
After a long silence.
Linghu Chang said in confusion: "Actually, I don't really know what happened."
“It’s like a dream.”
"At that time, Sect Master Liu used his great magical powers to break the shackles of the Xuanhuang Realm and drove the Medicine King Cauldron into the depths of the void."
"The original plan was to look for other legendary cultivation worlds, but..."
Linghu Chang paused, as if recalling the original scene.
"It wasn't long before alarms started to sound in various places inside the cauldron."
"It is said that they were attracted by an unknown force and lost control of the direction they were moving in."
"Let's go back to our respective rooms and prepare to enter the [Great Dream Spring and Autumn] magic circle and fall into deep sleep."
"Later, the Medicine King Cauldron began to shake more and more violently. Even the activation of the Great Dream Spring and Autumn Formation was affected and failed."
"Later..."
Linghu Chang narrowed his eyes slightly.
"The sect master sent a message saying that the plan to break through the world has failed and we must be forced to return to the Xuanhuang World."
"The Medicine King True Cauldron is severely damaged and cannot be operated."
"In order to preserve it, use all your remaining strength for defense."
"Let the Medicine King Cauldron fall freely into the Xuanhuang Realm."
"After that, the important functions of the cauldron were shut down one after another, and the brothers were forced to fall into a deep sleep one after another."
"I was refining medicine in the alchemy room at the time. When I rushed back to the room, I didn't have time to completely close the door."
"The Medicine King Cauldron is shaking even more violently."
"I lost consciousness due to the severe shock."
"When I wake up..."
"You are the ones I see."
Linghu Chang said slowly.
Xiao Heng and Zhang Haobo looked at each other, somewhat confused by this strange thing.
Su Xiaomei asked, "That's not right. According to what you said, you just wandered around outside the Xuanhuang Realm and were forced to return?"
Linghu Chang nodded: "Indeed."
"You entered deep sleep only after you were about to fall into the Xuanhuang Realm?"
Su Xiaomei asked again.
"Yes." Linghu Chang affirmed.
"What's right?" Su Xiaomei's voice suddenly became louder.
"In our opinion, the Medicine King Cauldron has been away from the Xuanhuang Realm for thousands of years. It only returned here not long ago."
"At that time, all the cultivators in the world could see the Medicine King Cauldron transform into a meteor falling from the sky."
"Yes, that should be twenty-four years ago."
After saying that, Su Xiaomei was stunned.
