Chapter 749 Mr. Bai's Sword
"We all come from different small worlds. Compared with the Xuanhuang Realm, there is a natural level gap. However, we also have advantages that cannot be underestimated."
“That’s diversity.”
"Just like you [the Empire] are able to manipulate exotic beasts to fight. Over the years, other small worlds have also developed different, strange abilities."
"Even if it is weaker than the Xuanhuang Realm Immortal Law, if we can focus all our efforts and combine the strengths of all realms, we may be able to summarize and research a system that can compete with the Immortal Law."
Xu Bai talked freely.
Xiaoqing’s first reaction was to shake her head.
However, before she could speak, Xu Bai reached out and interrupted her, saying solemnly: "As the saying goes, everything depends on human effort. Everyone knows that there is little hope, but at this point, we can only fight to the death."
"What kind of life do mortals live under the rule of immortal cultivators? I believe you should know better than me, right?"
"The members of the Union of All Worlds are the rulers of a world. Even if they die, I'm afraid they would not be willing to live a life of being treated like slaves."
"The union of all worlds is the general trend. Those who are unwilling..."
Xu Bai's face suddenly darkened: "Although we won't fight against you, it's impossible for us to protect you."
Xiao Qing said softly: "Don't worry, my friend. Our empire will never side with Xuan Huang. However, the affairs of the empire are not something I can decide on my own."
"Please wait here for a moment, my friend. I need to discuss this with Her Majesty the Princess and the Imperial Parliament."
Upon hearing this, Xu Bai nodded to show his understanding.
But at the same time, he also put forward his own request: "I have heard that the empire was built on the corpse of a three-headed divine bird."
"And the head of the divine bird was chopped off by the sword of the immortal back then."
"Now that I'm here, it would be a great pity if I can't see this wonder with my own eyes. I wonder if you can fulfill my long-cherished wish?"
Xiaoqing looked at Xu Bai with a smile on his face, her eyes flashing.
After a moment, she agreed, "It's just a small matter. Since you are interested, I will have someone take you there later. However, there is sword energy and remnant left at the broken head, so you should be more careful."
Xu Bai was surprised, and then he was delighted: "After such a long time, the sword energy still exists. It is enough to imagine the style of the past. Daoist friend, after hearing what you said, I am even more looking forward to it."
Xiaoqing smiled and said nothing.
Half a day after she left, a woman who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a gauze skirt, walked in.
"Please follow me, sir."
As she spoke, the woman in the gauze skirt summoned a strange beast that looked like a swollen sphere.
A crack appeared in the sphere and the woman walked into it.
Xu Bai also followed in with a little curiosity.
There was a place for people to sit inside the sphere, and once the two entered it, it continued to expand.
It slowly floated out of the spire palace and quickly drifted towards the "Imperial Holy Land" in the distance.
The body of the spherical monster gradually became transparent, allowing Xu Bai to see the surrounding scene clearly.
"This is the [Flying Ball Beast]. After it expands, it can fly high into the sky and ride the wind at an extremely fast speed. Most people in the empire use this method to visit the holy land." The woman in the gauze skirt explained to Xu Bai in a sweet voice.
"However, since you want to go for a visit, Master Qing has already given orders to temporarily clear the holy land of visitors so as not to disturb you."
…
As the woman introduced softly, they soon arrived at the place where one of Chi Jiutou's skulls was broken.
"This is one of the nine temples."
Xu Bai followed the woman into the silent building. As soon as he stepped in, he could vaguely sense the sounds of fierce howling and wailing.
The floor and walls were all covered with inky black stone slabs, making the temple look solemn and dark.
Without the woman's guidance, Xu Bai followed the direction where the voice came from and walked towards the depths of the temple.
The deeper you go, the louder the howling of the strange beasts becomes.
Through the introduction of the woman in the gauze skirt, we learned that these were not just the voices made by Chi Jiutou before his death.
Rather, it is the wailing sound composed of countless strange beasts that have been slaughtered and sacrificed by the empire over the years in order to reduce the hostility of the divine bird.
In every temple, countless strange beasts died tragically.
Countless resentful souls are entangled, enough to turn ordinary areas into hell.
But this temple is a bit eerie.
However, there was no incident of any resentful spirits causing trouble.
This is because there is an extremely sharp sword energy that always suppresses them firmly.
“Shua…”
A strand of hair fell for no reason, and Xu Bai stopped immediately.
In front, black flesh and blood, like tangled vines, coiled together.
It would squirm from time to time, and it was hard to believe that this was the corpse of a monster that had been dead for thousands of years.
And right above the black flesh mass, there is a red sword energy.
Like a long rope, floating unsteadily.
In fact, ordinary cultivators cannot see this red rope sword energy.
Not to mention the ordinary mortals in the empire.
They could only infer that there was remnant of "immortal sword energy" from the black flesh and blood that was constantly suppressed, as well as the sword energy that was occasionally stimulated.
But Xu Bai could see it all clearly.
even……
Xu Bai closed his eyes slightly.
A picture suddenly appeared in his mind.
It was a red light that illuminated the sky and the earth, and it seemed to be even faster than lightning.
The sharp meaning contained in it seems to be able to split the heaven and earth.
"It looks like a rope, but it's actually..."
"sword."
Xu Bai stared at the red line in front of him for an unknown amount of time, then said thoughtfully.
"The red string given by Mr. Bai..."
"Compared to the [wooden sword] he casually used when I saw it in the Falling Fairyland, this red rope sword has a stronger killing intent."
"Rather than being a pure sword, it's more like it has a hint of punishment."
Many insights continuously emerged in Xu Bai's mind.
He seemed to see Mr. Bai's figure and gently played a strand of silk thread.
Then the arrogant and ferocious beast Chi Jiu Tou died tragically on the spot.
…
In this way, Xu Bai was immersed in his thoughts and didn't notice the passage of time.
The girl in the gauze skirt didn't dare to disturb him and stood silently behind Xu Bai.
Not far from Xu Bai, separated by a wall from the temple.
Xiaoqing and a graceful girl were staring at Xu Bai through the transparent wall.
"How is it? Are you sure?" Xiaoqing asked, with a rare flash of anxiety in her eyes.
The girl kept her eyes closed.
Her eyelashes were trembling and beads of sweat were running down her face.
After a long time, she suddenly opened her eyes.
"how so?"
The girl was filled with shock.
"When I saw him, it was like I was looking at myself!"
