Chapter 1298: Star Sea Melee (7k)
"I also tried to find this person's whereabouts by following my mysterious feelings. But every attempt ended in failure..." The Holy Emperor said as he felt the rising wind over the sea of stars.
The revival of the star sea and the fight against the remaining power of the True Immortals is a rather long process.
Converted into human time scale, it will last about ten years.
Before this star sea storm reaches its peak, he can start fighting with Chuanfa again at any time.
Temporary cooperation does not mean permanent reconciliation.
The decision to cease fire and track down the person behind the scenes was not only because the two men were indeed equally strong and it was difficult to determine the winner, but also because of the consideration of delaying time.
The Holy Emperor's gaze inadvertently passed over the Xuanhuang Realm in the distance.
The increasing number of cultivators who "build their foundation with me" are weakening the foundation of their teachings.
Shiban and Ruomu's plan to establish the Xuanhuang orthodoxy progressed at an even faster pace because the Holy Dynasty took over a large number of the original territories of the Wanxian League.
As the star sea storm gradually intensifies and reaches its peak, delay is beneficial to the Holy Emperor.
Since the Dharma transmission was proposed, the Holy Emperor naturally wanted it more than willingly.
Moreover, the activity of fishing for treasures in the fishing pond has never stopped for a moment.
Who knows, during this period, some treasure that can turn the tide of the battle might be caught.
His mind raced, and he used the giant star net to complete his orders to his subordinates. While talking to the Dharma Master, the Holy Emperor forced out a drop of blood from his forehead.
Chuanfa coughed lightly, and first repaired his high crown that had been cut off in the battle just now.
Then the light surged, covering the minor wounds all over the body.
Seeing this scene, the Saint Emperor pondered: "Could it be that the delay in passing on the Dharma is to take the opportunity to comprehend the principle of [falsehood is also truth]?"
Although he had such a guess in his mind, the Holy Emperor was not worried that the Dharma Master would be able to comprehend it during this period of time.
Because the Holy Emperor had some kind of sense in his heart, this method of "when the truth becomes false, the false also becomes true" has its own special features.
It is not something that can be comprehended simply by relying on extraordinary understanding.
While the Holy Emperor was pondering, the Heavenly Venerable, who had already restored his original appearance as a compassionate old man with a tall hat, cast a series of spells, covering the Holy Emperor's blood in the air.
The color of the light kept changing, and finally stopped at a light yellow color that was extremely similar to the appearance of the Xuanhuang World.
When Chuanfa saw this scene, his expression changed slightly.
However, his hands did not stop moving and continued to cast the spell.
The blood in the pale yellow light ball seemed to come alive and struggled violently.
Then two protrusions are separated.
One of them pointed in the direction of Xuanhuang Realm.
And the other one...
It pointed to the outside of the sea of stars!
It's even spinning violently!
It seems that the location it is pointing to is also changing direction rapidly!
"What's going on..." Seeing the increasingly serious look on the emperor's face, the Saint Emperor also became serious. He had just asked, but hadn't finished his words.
The space around them suddenly became violent.
Unlike the storm caused by the power of the revival of the star sea, it seemed as if something was about to break out of the ground and drill out from underground.
The Holy Emperor and Chuan Fa simultaneously dodged and fled far away.
They looked at the blood wrapped in the pale yellow light, and the rotating bulge gradually stopped.
Pointing quietly towards the destination.
A moment later...
Imperceptible ripples came from the front.
It was as if water had just dripped.
Neither the divine consciousness nor the eyes could find the target, but the Holy Emperor and the Dharma Master both knew that something had just descended in front of them.
Chuanfa narrowed his eyes slightly, as if revealing a hint of reminiscence.
But he looked at the blood drops of the Holy Emperor again, and a hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
"Interesting. The real culprit behind this actually showed up on his own initiative..."
In the ball of pale yellow light, the blood drops of the Holy Emperor slowly burned out.
However, the extended bulge still pointed firmly at the void ahead.
"Immortal boat..." Chuan Fa murmured in a low voice.
The Holy Emperor also narrowed his eyes.
He was naturally aware of the sword light that had appeared outside the Xuanhuang Realm before.
In an instant, my imagination runs wild.
"Could it be that there is a conspiracy behind this Immortal Boat?" The Holy Emperor felt a chill in his heart.
"but……"
"The timing of the appearance of this flying boat is too coincidental." The Holy Emperor stared ahead and did not take the initiative to take action.
"The Xuanxian Boat is the remnant of the ancient Xuanshang Boat. It has been hiding in the endless ruins under the high walls..." Chuanfa briefly introduced the background of the Xuanxian Boat in front of the Holy Emperor.
The Holy Emperor was stunned for a moment when he looked at the magnificent scene at the edge of the starry sea and under the high walls.
I had a brief contact with the true meaning of the origin of the sea of stars, and thus I knew the infinite vastness of this sea of stars.
But because of this, the horror of the high walls that tightly block this sea of stars is even more evident.
"You and I fought, and they appeared here..."
“Let me see how much the Xuanxianzhou has improved over the years.” A cold light flashed in Chuanfa’s eyes.
His body remained motionless, and he just glanced at him indifferently.
The space ahead, which was rippling due to the passing of the Xuanxian Boat, gradually became calm.
Then, as if ice had fallen, the space gradually fell into absolute stillness.
It was as quiet as the end of the world in the starry sea, and no waves emanated from that dead zone.
"The magical powers of passing on the Dharma are indeed extraordinary."
The Saint Emperor's pupils shrank slightly when he saw this scene. He was thinking in his mind how he should deal with this move.
The absolute freeze did not last.
Just before it was about to be completed, a violent force suddenly emerged.
The frozen realm was completely shattered.
The image of the Xuanxian Boat flashed by.
The power released by the Xuanxian Boat was not just as simple as breaking the frozen realm of the Dharma transmission. It also caused resonance among the many remaining immortal powers in the star sea.
Like the confluence of hundreds of rivers, it surges and rushes in a flash.
If the trap set by the Holy Emperor before was a stream of residual True Immortal power.
So what is being stirred at this moment is a surging river.
Because they were fighting against the power of the reviving sea of stars, the remaining power of the True Immortals was far more active than usual.
At this moment, he was attracted and after sensing the breath of the Dharma and the Holy Emperor's spirit, he chased after it in an instant like a beast smelling its prey.
Both of them were forced to dodge.
Although both of them have reached the limit of the starry sea called [Taishang].
However, he was still very wary of the remaining power of a true immortal that could compete with the sea of stars itself.
Especially since the two are still in a hostile state during cooperation, if one of them is seriously injured, he will undoubtedly be at a disadvantage in the subsequent decisive battle.
After all, the residual power of a true immortal is different from ordinary moves and is not so easy to expel.
Each of them relies on his own ability.
The Saint Emperor relied on the connection with the sea of stars to see clearly the residual power of the True Immortals that was coming like a tide, and dodged it skillfully.
Occasionally, if it is impossible to avoid it, the flashing starlight robes, the loud prayers coming from the Holy Dynasty, and the emerging source of power can quickly expel the remaining power of the True Immortal.
However, the method of passing on the Dharma is quite peculiar.
He once again took out the long arm composed of countless destroyed worlds.
Just like two sponges, they absorbed all of the remaining power of the True Immortal.
boom!
Some of the remnant worlds were completely turned into ashes under the baptism of the remaining power of the True Immortals.
However, other remnants of the world soon filled the gap inside the long arm.
I really don’t know how many fragments of the world like this have been collected over the years of spreading the Dharma.
Seeing that Chuan Fa and Saint Emperor resolved the crisis so easily, Xuan Xian Zhou, who had failed to divert the trouble, used his tricks again.
A khaki paper talisman slowly fell from the void.
It seems slow.
In fact, it is extremely fast.
The Holy Emperor and Chuanfa had just sensed the existence of the talisman a moment ago, and the next moment, the talisman fell on their bodies.
This is the peculiarity of this paper talisman.
When it first floated down, there was only one, but because there were two targets, it landed on both of them at the same time.
"True Immortal Seal Characters..."
This thought flashed through the minds of the Holy Emperor and Chuanfa at the same time.
Soon, they felt the power contained in this True Immortal seal.
Buzz!
First of all, the Holy Emperor realized that his connection with the Dark Star Sea had been severed.
It was not that the True Immortal Seal characters were directly cut off, but the Origin of the Star Sea that took the initiative to sever the connection.
Even the Holy Emperor could vaguely feel the hostility coming from the sea of stars before the loss of contact.
Originally, it was like half of the home court, with the power of the sea of stars blessing every move. But now, it was like being in a quagmire, with every move being met with great resistance.
The Holy Emperor also felt a strong sense of malice from the other party, whom he had originally regarded as a temporary partner.
In a blink of an eye, all I saw were enemies!
What made the Saint Emperor feel even colder was that the power support he received from the Saint Dynasty was also slowly fading. Although it was not immediately unusable, if this trend continued, it would not be long before the Saint Dynasty would become hostile, just like Xinghai!
The Holy Emperor, who had never experienced anything like this before, looked around, his thoughts racing.
"Is this the power of the True Immortal Seal Characters?"
"It's not the residual power that can be found everywhere in the sea of stars, but the complete power of a true immortal..."
In the Saint Emperor's mind, he tried to recall the pattern on the paper talisman he had just seen.
I can't recall a single thing.
While trying to find ways to deal with the increasingly hostile forces around him, the Holy Emperor looked towards the Dharma teaching not far away.
Because of the growing hostility, the distance between them had unknowingly widened a lot compared to before.
The tall crown used to transmit Dharma emits a silver glow like white jade.
Reflecting it are the stone statues of the Dharma-Chuan Tianzun standing tall in the Xuanhuang Realm.
One of the stone statues walked out from a tall crown.
As the light flashed, it turned into a solid entity.
As soon as the stone statue condensed, it was besieged by all the forces around it. The power of the sea of stars, the residual power of the true immortals, and even the Dharma itself...
The stone statue shattered with a loud bang. The violent explosion caused by the collision of multiple forces swept across and affected the Holy Emperor's position.
It actually shifted its target and swept towards the Holy Emperor.
It was like seeing some real enemy that would never give up.
The Holy Emperor solemnly neutralized the impact and continued to observe the movement of the Dharma Transmission.
As another stone statue walked out of the tall crown, it was blasted into pieces by the combined forces of multiple parties.
However, the Holy Emperor sensed that the power of the True Immortal Seal characters concentrated on the body of the Heavenly Venerable Chuanfa had become a little weaker.
"Are you using the stone elephant to fake your own death to reduce the hostility?"
The Holy Emperor, who had a good understanding, quickly understood the purpose of passing on the Dharma.
With a thought in his mind, a vague shadow of the Holy Emperor walked out from the Starlight Holy Robe.
As expected, the moment the phantom was split, it was suddenly attacked by all the surrounding forces.
This also includes the Holy Emperor himself.
Even when the Holy Emperor attacked his own fragmented shadow, he felt a slight sense of pleasure of revenge in his heart.
Even though this illusion quickly disappeared as the shadow dissipated, the Saint Emperor was still extremely shocked.
He and Chuanfa have both reached the limit of the sea of stars.
However, after being affected by the True Immortal's seal characters, he seemed to be completely unable to fight back.
Only by relying on this "dead method" can the influence of the True Immortal Seal Characters be slowly eliminated.
It is simply impossible to confront with the same power.
“Perhaps, after manifesting the Eternal Xuanhuang Realm, I can compete with it with my understanding of “false and true”.”
"As for the other methods I currently have..."
The Holy Emperor quickly went through it in his mind, but couldn't find anything that could be compared to it.
A rather funny scene suddenly appeared in the sea of stars.
The two Supreme Powers were nailed to the spot by a pair of True Immortal seal characters out of thin air.
Xuanxianzhou, who had been hiding in the dark and observing for a while, finally made some moves again.
The Holy Emperor, who looked somewhat embarrassed, heard a message in his ears.
"Xuanxianzhou, we only seek supplies to survive in the sea of stars."
"Perhaps, we can cooperate with each other."
The Holy Emperor couldn't help but be stunned.
Seeing that the Holy Emperor did not respond for a long time, Xuanxianzhou sent another message: "We can help your Holy Dynasty deal with Chuanfa. But after the matter is done, you need to provide us with a place to live."
"Don't worry, there are only a hundred thousand of us on the Xuanxian Boat. The Xuanhuang Realm is so vast that one more of us won't make any difference."
…
Xuanxianzhou's message was very sincere.
This made the Holy Emperor even more confused.
If there hadn't been guidance from the previous bloodline that pointed out that there might be a black hand behind the immortal boat, then the Holy Emperor might have really been moved.
But now…
The Holy Emperor secretly wondered what this Xuanxian Boat was trying to do.
"Could it be that you came out to stir up trouble because you saw that I had reached a cooperation with Chuan Fa?"
It was almost natural for the Holy Emperor to think so.
The Holy Emperor did not respond for a long time.
As if sensing the Saint Emperor's hostility, Xuanxianzhou sent another message.
The Holy Emperor was greatly shocked.
"The Dharma cannot be trusted!"
"This person sneaked into our immortal ship many years ago, and under the pretext of watching, he stole many secret treasures on the ship!"
"Although your appearance changed back then, you couldn't fool us..."
A lot of information came in one after another.
The Holy Emperor fell into silence again.
"If you are interested, contact us using this method."
The chaos caused by the True Immortal's seal characters gradually subsided.
Seeing that the Holy Emperor had not yet responded, Xuanxianzhou had no choice but to leave behind a secret method.
The figure disappeared completely.
The storm subsided, and the hostility from the world gradually subsided.
The connection with the star sea is also being repaired.
However, the Holy Emperor and Chuan Fa, who had already distanced themselves from each other, did not get closer again.
"Although they ran away, we can still use your bloodline to locate them." Chuanfa looked at the Holy Emperor and said slowly.
"This Xuanxian Boat is really troublesome. It comes and goes without a trace. Fellow Daoist, are you unable to track down its whereabouts?" The Holy Emperor did not force out any more blood, but asked this.
Chuan Fa chuckled: "This Xuanxian Boat has indeed made some progress over the years. The research on the True Immortal Seal has reached this level. Although in our opinion, it is just a misguided path. But I have to say..."
Chuan Fa looked towards the sea of stars.
"It's really difficult to deal with this dark sea of stars."
"The remnant of the True Immortals, a small-scale remnant. Perhaps we can be fearless. But if they gather like they did just now, then fellow Taoists should be careful."
"If I accidentally get the mark, I'm afraid it will take a lot of energy to remove it. It may even affect my future path..."
Chuan Fa reminded.
The Holy Emperor looked thoughtful as he looked around at the remaining power of the True Immortals which had dispersed but not disappeared after the great commotion.
"Is there no way to truly eliminate these forces? Except relying on the star sea's own power of recovery." asked the Holy Emperor.
"Fellow Daoist, do you know why my progress in repairing the Xuanhuang Realm is so slow?"
"Finding the right material is harder than finding a needle in a haystack."
"The remaining power of a true immortal cannot make one a true immortal. If you want to get rid of it..." Chuan Fa shook his head slightly.
The Holy Emperor was silent.
"Actually, there isn't much time left for me." Chuanfa suddenly said this.
The Holy Emperor was suddenly stunned and couldn't help but look towards the person who was passing on the Dharma.
Chuan Fa did not explain, but changed the topic and said: "Daoyou, what are your plans now?"
"Continue to chase the Xuanxianzhou and find the real culprit behind the scenes..."
"Still want to fight me?!"
"Just now, I think someone told you something on the Xuanxian Boat." Chuanfa naturally saw the reason why the Holy Emperor changed his attitude.
The Saint Emperor did not hide anything, nodded and asked: "Daoyou, have you ever been to the Xuanxian Boat..."
"Yes. I also took away some things I needed." Chuanfa admitted frankly.
Upon hearing this, the Holy Emperor could not help but stare at this Heavenly Master who was spreading the Dharma.
The frankness of this Heavenly Lord was somewhat beyond his expectations.
"Just like you, wanting to save Xuan Huang. I also have something that I must stick to." Perhaps because he hadn't talked to anyone for a long time, Chuanfa started chatting with him as if he were an old friend.
"If you want to achieve this goal, you must do whatever it takes."
The Holy Emperor neither agreed nor disagreed.
The transmission method pointed to the Xuanhuang Realm that was emitting a faint light not far away, and the angle was slightly upward: "Daoyou, have you ever been to the Immortal Ruins?"
"No."
"There, sits an enlightened immortal. He is one of the main culprits that caused the disaster in this sea of stars. Have you ever thought about how you can lead the entire Xuanhuang Realm to escape from the hands of this immortal even if you defeat me?" asked Chuanfa.
"There isn't much time left for the Xuanhuang Realm." Chuanfa sneered.
The Holy Emperor just remained silent again.
"I have a way." Chuan Fa said proudly.
"For the sake of the two words Xuan and Huang, you ignore the possible future extinction. Can this be worthy of the word 'Saint'?" asked Chuan Fa.
The Holy Emperor was not shaken by the words of the Dharma Transmission: "If you can find a way to save the world, then I can too."
"But if I give up just because you persuade me, how can I be worthy of the hundreds of millions of people in the Holy Dynasty?"
Chuanfa sneered and stopped arguing with the Holy Emperor.
He just sighed slightly and said, "You don't know what I've been through in these years..."
After a moment, Chuan Fa said sternly, "I have no intention of being an enemy of you. I am not afraid of you stalling for time."
"If you want to fight me, I am always ready to fight you."
"Everything depends on your decision."
The Holy Emperor listened to the words of the Dharma, pondered for a long time, and was about to speak.
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the surrounding space.
But it was the Xuanxian Boat that went away and came back!
This time he did not greet them directly with the True Immortal Seal Characters, but instead said sarcastically: "As expected of you, you are the famous Dharma Transmission Heavenly Venerable. You really speak better than you sing. I just wonder when you can return the secret treasures that you stole from our Xuanxian Boat?"
"By the way, the current Xuanhuang Realm has been able to exist safely under the Immortal Ruins for so long. This must be due to our secret treasures!"
The voice coming from Xuanxianzhou was full of hatred towards the Dharma transmission.
Chuan Fa did not refute.
The Holy Emperor listened to these words and began to think about what the so-called secret treasure that was stolen by Chuan Fa was.
The two Supremes and an ancient immortal boat were confronting each other in the void.
The contradiction between the Dharma transmission and the Holy Emperor lies in the contradiction between the foundation of Dharma transmission and the survival of the Xuanhuang Realm, which is almost irreconcilable.
The feud between Xianzhou and Chuanfa is a lifelong feud that cannot be resolved.
Logically speaking, it would be wise for the Holy Emperor to join forces with the Immortal Boat to deal with Chuan Fa together.
However, the secret technique that guided the blood connection pointed to the Xuanxianzhou, which made the Holy Emperor feel inexplicably uneasy, so he had not made a decision.
It wasn't all about the secret techniques of transmission. The Holy Emperor himself also sensed a familiar aura from the immortal boat.
If the Xuanxian Boat came down from under the high wall, then why is it related to my origin?
All of this was too confusing, and what Chuan Fa had just said forced the Holy Emperor, who had previously simply wanted to defeat Chuan Fa, to think more.
"The location chosen by Elder Gan is very good. If it is farther away, even with the power of the True Immortal Seal, it will be difficult for you to preserve your immortal boat." After a moment of transmission, the voice from the Xuanxian Boat was recognized.
He said lightly, with a cold gleam in his eyes.
However, he seemed to be concerned about something and did not act rashly.
However, Xuanxianzhou ignored the teachings and openly persuaded the Holy Emperor to cooperate with them.
"Fellow Daoist, don't worry about Xuan Huang's safety. We have already found a way to save Xuan Huang in our immortal boat."
"Fellow Daoist, please take a look..."
A large number of images were transmitted to the Holy Emperor’s mind.
On the land of Xuanhuang Realm, countless towering obelisks belch brilliant light upwards.
The Xuanhuang Realm was thus slowly pushed away from the Immortal Ruins.
The Holy Emperor even recognized the power behind these obelisks, which was the dark sea hidden deep within the Xuanhuang Realm!
"seem……"
"feasible?"
The Holy Emperor made a brief deduction and was shocked beyond words.
"How could this Xuanxian Boat know about the existence of the Dark Sea?"
As if seeing the doubts in the Saint Emperor's mind, Xuanxianzhou took the initiative to explain: "Many years ago, our Xuanxianzhou came to Xuanhuang Realm. We had many exchanges..."
However, these remarks did not dispel the Holy Emperor's doubts.
He even became more alert.
While listening to Xuanxianzhou's words of persuasion to the Holy Emperor, Chuanfa was originally a little skeptical.
As a result, the Holy Emperor's expression changed slightly, which made him very surprised.
The expression he looked at Xuanxianzhou also became different again.
During this period of time, many things happened that puzzled him and were beyond his control.
This has never happened in the past thousands of years.
But Chuan Fa believes that as long as the Xuanxian Boat is captured, many questions can be solved.
Although considering the Xuanhuang Realm and the enlightened immortal, it is not suitable to take action here.
But Chuanfa didn't believe that the Xuanxianzhou could stay here forever.
The Dharma-transmitting gaze looked towards the depths of the sea of stars.
There, there is a breath, coming here quickly.
"When He arrives, it doesn't matter even if we start a war here."
Chuanfa stared at the Holy Emperor and Xuanxianzhou who were communicating, and then closed his eyes slightly.
The situation on the field is very delicate.
At this moment, a wave of fluctuations coming from the Xuanhuang Realm attracted the attention of the three forces present.
The Xuanhuang Realm, which had originally become somewhat weak due to the long-range support of the Holy Emperor's power, now suddenly had a large amount of vitality emerging.
Bang! Bang!
It was like the sound of a violent heartbeat, clearly audible.
A ball of dark yellow light was churning continuously.
It's as if something is brewing in it.
Xuanxianzhou didn't understand.
The Saint Emperor was somewhat stunned. He felt that the connection from the Xuanhuang Realm was fading rapidly. Although the feelings were still there, from now on, it could not provide any help.
Chuanfa's face was filled with surprise at first, and at the same time, there was a hint of disbelief.
Then, as if he sensed something, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
He no longer cared about the two people present and flew straight towards the Xuanhuang Realm.
Xuanxianzhou also reacted after a moment.
His tone was one of shock, and then of great surprise: "Fairy spirit! Such a strong fairy spirit! This..."
"There are at least two or three immortal artifacts! Xuanhuang Realm is truly a treasure land!"
The Xuanxian Boat followed closely behind, turning into a stream of light and flying away.
Through the giant star network and with the help of the Daqi soldiers' perspective, the Holy Emperor has also sensed what is happening in the Xuanhuang Realm.
"The real Xuanhuang Great Celestial Lord has descended into the world."
There was no sense of loss of favor, but only a strong sense of uneasiness in the heart of the Holy Emperor.
It seemed as if the situation had completely gotten out of control since the beginning.
There is an invisible hand that controls all this in secret.
The Dharma, his Saint Emperor, and even the Xuanxianzhou, the newly born Xuanhuang Tianzun...
Everything seemed to be under his control.
"What on earth is this..."
The Holy Emperor felt extremely heavy in his heart, and in a flash, he had arrived outside the Xuanhuang Realm.
The Xuanhuang Realm at this moment has undergone extremely significant changes compared to the past.
It was as if some long-dormant mechanism had been activated, and some strange aura emanated from all over the Xuanhuang Realm.
Old, ancient, and yet full of magical power.
"this……"
There was a flash of horror in the Holy Emperor's eyes.
"Fairy spirit?"
At the same time, he also saw Chuan Fa, who had a gloomy face, and Xuan Xian Zhou, who was blocked in front of him.
Traces of immortal spirit diffused from all over the Xuanhuang Realm.
Unable to determine source.
But that sacred ancient power...
But it is definitely not a good thing for the Xuanhuang creatures.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Countless cultivators were intoxicated after coming into contact with the slightest trace of immortal spirit.
Then it exploded into pieces in an instant.
How can a mortal body come into contact with the power of a true immortal?
