Chapter 1258: Flowing Crystals Lead to Disputes
The handwriting was very sloppy, and there were even large sections of smears and deletions.
However, Sun Erlang could still get a general idea.
The Immortal Dynasty ruled by Emperor Taixuan became increasingly powerful, with talented people emerging one after another. In the battles with the other two countries, it repeatedly won.
The Master of Heaven and Earth and the Most Holy Saint on Earth must join forces to fight against the might of Taixuan...
This plot is obviously not what the literati really think.
Not only is the writing style much weaker than before, but even the attitude towards writing is perfunctory. Perhaps it is too much to bear, the writer is unwilling to continue writing before the end. He spends his days getting drunk and living in a daze.
Sun Erlang was not surprised by this result.
In the Holy Dynasty, the symbols on the Taixuan Immortal Emperor and the Faceless Saint Emperor are too similar. As long as they suffer a little loss in the plot, the literati will be criticized by thousands of people. Under such realistic pressure, the Taixuan Immortal Emperor can only go smoothly forever in the plot. In the long run, his strength will surpass the other two saints by a large margin.
However, Sun Erlang was a little curious about what the plot had originally been in the mind of the writer.
With a thought in his mind, Sun Erlang separated a strand of divine thought and penetrated into the scholar's sea of consciousness.
Not long after, among the many messy thoughts, I found the content related to "The Legend of Xuanhuang Three Divisions".
It should be said that the literati were, after all, the native people of the Holy Dynasty. He had been bathed in the grace of the Holy Emperor over the years, and his subconscious admiration for the Holy Emperor made him anticipate the outcome. In the end, it was the Immortal Emperor Taixuan who overcame all kinds of difficulties, suppressed the other two winners one after another, and unified the Xuanhuang Realm.
However, there were failures and setbacks along the way, and he even fell into a desperate situation and his life was hanging by a thread.
Sun Erlang had to admit that compared to the modified version he saw in reality, the original plot arrangement in the literati's mind was more ups and downs and exciting.
"As the saying goes, literature is like looking at a mountain, you don't like flatness. In comparison, the version outside is just as boring as chewing wax."
Although Sun Erlang thought so, the content of this book involved his master after all, so he did not dare to make a decision on his own.
He quickly returned to the Holy Emperor's throne and reported the matter to Li Ping.
It was just a small matter, but for some reason the Holy Emperor remained silent for a long time.
"I am the Great Emperor of Taixuan, I am the Most Holy Saint in the World, and I am also the Teacher of Heaven and Earth."
Finally, the Holy Emperor uttered a word slowly, which echoed in the cold Holy Emperor's throne.
Sun Erlang was stunned at first, and then he suddenly realized.
He left with a happy look on his face.
However, Li Ping's mood, which was not easily shaken by external things, was caused by this rare incident to cause ripples that could not be calmed down.
He might have some understanding as to why Chuanfa had remained out of touch with worldly affairs and out of the public eye since he founded the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
…
Hongze area.
Zhang Ming, a Jindan monk tasked with guarding this world in the Holy Dynasty, suddenly received a report from his subordinates.
It seems that some uninvited guests from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance have intruded into this small world.
"Three Yuanyings and seven Jindans."
Zhang Ming frowned tightly.
Although he sent a message for help to the Holy Dynasty immediately, Zhang Ming could not calm down at all when he thought of the large [Kongming Liujing] mine that had just been discovered here.
"This Hongze Realm is not big, and the aura carried by the Kongming Liujing is very unique. Even if I have a formation talisman to cover it up, I'm afraid it will be difficult to escape the detection of these people."
"It seems that this battle is inevitable."
Zhang Ming quickly calculated the power he could currently mobilize.
Including myself, there are only five golden elixirs in total.
It can be said that the gap in strength is too great and defeat is inevitable.
If I choose to retreat, the Holy Dynasty will not impose any severe punishment on me.
However, as a proud soldier of Daqi, Zhang Ming was destined not to withdraw without even the courage to fight.
Zhang Ming was very decisive and directly used his only [Heaven-Covering Talisman].
As the name suggests, the Heaven-Covering Talisman can conceal the secrets of heaven.
As everyone knows, after a Xuanhuang Realm cultivator dies, a strange phenomenon will appear in the sky. The life story of the fallen cultivator, and even the specific way he died, will appear in great detail on the sky.
Under normal circumstances, it was fine, but if it was a life-and-death fight like today, casualties on either side would spread instantly, greatly increasing the difficulty of the battle.
However, with the [Heaven-Covering Talisman], one can reverse the situation and even turn it into a favorable combat condition.
The Heaven-Covering Talisman can not only conceal the phenomenon of a cultivator's fall, but also accurately identify the enemy and ourselves and treat them differently.
If we kill the enemy monks, no strange images will appear. But if our monks are killed, strange images will still appear and remind us.
Although the specific principle of how this talisman works is unknown, there is no doubt that this single Heaven-Covering Talisman can turn the tide of victory.
"This talisman alone is not enough."
Zhang Ming looked at the small white jade arrow in his arms again.
"Unfortunately, given our team's qualifications, we can only apply for one Army-Destroying Arrow at most each time we go out."
“If I can get more, I won’t be afraid of even the Nascent Soul cultivators, let alone the Divine Transformation cultivators.”
The Army-Destroying Arrow is a weakened version of the Holy Dynasty's Sky-Patrolling Arrow.
Although it is weakened, it can still cause a devastating blow to cultivators in the Nascent Soul Stage and below.
It also has built-in tracking and breath locking functions. Once you are targeted, there is no chance of escape.
“We only have this one, and we need to maximize its use.”
Soon, Zhang Ming had an idea in his mind.
"Fu Ge!"
"I'm here!" A middle-stage Jindan cultivator under Zhang Ming, who was wearing khaki clothes, immediately responded.
"Use the [Running Flow Talisman] to move these Void Crystals to this place underground." Zhang Ming marked the specific location on the map.
Fu Ge took the storage ring that Zhang Ming handed over without any hesitation.
There was a flash of yellow light on his body and he disappeared above the ground.
The storage ring contains everything that Zhang Ming and his team have mined, but it is only a small part of the giant mineral vein here.
However, if it were to be detonated and then specially guided, the aura it emitted would be enough to attract the attention of the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance on the ground.
"Sick three!"
"Set up formations along the way to block them. Remember, don't let them have it too easy, and don't use those killing formations either."
A middle-aged man with a sallow complexion responded and left.
…
Zhang Ming was methodical and completed the deployment of his forces in a short time.
However, even though they all possessed unique skills, they were still somewhat stretched in the face of the absolute power gap.
An unexpected event occurred at the very first step of the plan.
Those monks from the Ten Thousand Immortals League were no ordinary people. The person who lured them to the ambush site was named Qiu Di.
In this team, he is particularly good at escape.
Unexpectedly, just after they met and before he could use any escape technique, he was trapped by a man in white from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who used the Cave Heaven Domain to trap him.
This cave realm was quite strange, and did not show any specific situation. It just emitted a white halo to suppress Qiu Di.
After trying various methods, it seemed that there was no hope of escape.
Qiu Di also resolutely blew himself up and ended his life.
Feeling the life force of his men disappear, Zhang Ming felt nervous and clenched his fists.
The monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals League obviously did not expect that the other party would be so stubborn and commit suicide over a disagreement.
The atmosphere suddenly became weird.
"Wait, Brother Lin Bai, something is wrong!"
After a while, some of them reacted.
"Why is there no falling phenomenon?"
"Is it a fake death?"
"No, it's true that his soul is completely destroyed."
Lin Bai's expression became serious and he looked up at the sky.
Soon his expression turned ugly: "Be careful, someone is hiding the secret."
Although he reminded them in this way, the other few people were not afraid but became extremely excited.
"Hidden secrets? Such an ordinary little world actually uses such means. It seems there is a secret!"
"We have been to several places for nothing, and finally we are going to get something."
“Even if it’s not the Void Crystal, if we can discover the secrets of this place, perhaps this trip will be worthwhile.”
…
While everyone was discussing, they suddenly felt the ground tremble slightly.
At the same time, a familiar breath came from underground.
"This is……"
Everyone was stunned at first.
Then, his face was full of disbelief: "It's really Kongming Liujing?"
In their perception, in addition to the diffused aura of flowing crystal, there seemed to be several figures flying away quickly from the place where the ground was vibrating.
"You can't hide it anymore, so you want to escape?"
Everyone thought so subconsciously.
Although they really wanted to go down and find out what was going on, they were still a little cautious. They did not act rashly, but all looked at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai hesitated for a moment and quickly made a decision.
"Divide the troops into two groups. Brother Qian, you take three people to chase the escaped monk, and the rest follow me."
Without further ado, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance quickly split into four people and chased towards the horizon.
Lin Bai led the team and rushed towards the place where the clear crystal aura came from underground.
Along the way, there were some formations blocking the way.
But they easily broke it.
"These formations were at least set up by Nascent Soul Formation Masters."
"Many of the formations are new to me. Interesting..."
Everyone became more and more excited.
We soon arrived at our destination.
A huge hole left after the explosion, and many fragments of the empty and bright crystal can still be vaguely seen.
"Fuck! So cruel, it actually destroyed it directly!"
"What a waste! The price of a fist-sized liquid crystal has risen to 50,000 contribution points! And there is no demand for it!"
"There are still a lot of fragments, pick them up quickly, don't waste them!"
…
Originally, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance was somewhat organized.
However, after seeing the fragments of the empty crystal all over the ground, their greed was aroused and they could no longer hold back.
They scrambled and flew towards the inside of the cave.
Although Lin Bai felt a little envious, he habitually looked around first.
It didn't seem to find any danger, so it flew in as well.
"Strange, this doesn't look like the original underground vein of Liujing. Could it be the warehouse where they collect and store it..."
Lin Bai picked up a small piece of liquid crystal, but this thought came to his mind.
At this moment, his expression suddenly changed.
A small white jade arrow, at some point, silently shot out from the darkness underground towards the people in the cave.
"Be careful!" Lin Bai shouted subconsciously.
The Dongtian Dharma Realm was exerted at its full strength, and hundreds of command flags were deployed to assist each other all over the body.
However, the small white jade arrow was faster than expected.
An extremely dazzling ball of light was born underground.
In an instant, all the monks in the cave were swallowed up.
Along with their cave, it also completely dissipated.
Not far away, Zhang Ming felt no wavering as he watched the deaths of several members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
"Brother Qiu Di, have a safe journey."
Without any further ado, Zhang Ming hurried towards the other subordinate who was acting as bait.
Compared to their own situation, their situation is extremely miserable.
Without a powerful weapon like the Army-Destroying Arrow, they could only rely on small means to stop them. They were soon caught up by the people of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Stuck in a tough fight.
By the time Zhang Ming and his men arrived, there were only two people left struggling to hold on.
Qian Xing, a monk from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, was still trying to persuade them: "Why are you two Daoists coming here? These are just external possessions. How can they compare to your own lives? We have absolutely no intention of taking your lives..."
Having said that, the offensive power in his hands did not weaken at all.
The armor on Zhang Ming's body burst out with a red luster.
It turned into a red line and rushed straight towards Monk Qian Xing.
"Brother Qian, be careful!"
After all, the gap in strength is too big. Even with the blessing of protective armor, it is not enough to make up for the gap between Jindan and Yuanying.
Still, the other party dodged it.
The sneak attack failed and he was instead severely injured by the opponent.
The light of the armor suddenly dimmed.
"Eh? What kind of body-protecting magic weapon is this? It took my full-strength attack, but there's not even a single crack on it?"
There was some surprise in Brother Qian Xing's tone, mixed with a bit of greed.
"It seems that we are destined to die here."
Zhang Ming thought so in his heart.
But he doesn't regret it.
I have delayed for so long, I believe the support from the Holy Dynasty will arrive soon.
Before the giant void crystal vein is discovered by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the Holy Dynasty will be able to reoccupy this place.
"After I die, my family members should be proud of me."
"Perhaps, I can even get a reward from the Holy Emperor himself."
Zhang Ming felt peaceful in his heart. Looking at the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, he said in a cold tone, "Burn the Soul!"
The few remaining men under his command heard this without any hesitation.
As his soul burned, the aura that had been somewhat weakened suddenly erupted again.
"Are you crazy?!" the monk from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance screamed in complete disbelief.
There was no need for them to confront these doomed men head-on.
Even though they were overwhelmingly powerful, the monks of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance focused on avoiding injury and avoiding the attack.
The cultivation enhancement effect brought by the burning soul gradually disappeared.
Zhang Ming and others finally came to the end of their lives.
Just before his consciousness was about to fade away, Zhang Ming seemed to see a familiar figure.
"General Xiao Sun?"
Zhang Ming felt relieved.
Endless golden light enveloped him.
Zhang Ming seemed to see the great Faceless Holy Emperor in a swirling galaxy.
…
Sun Erlang gathered the remaining thoughts of Zhang Ming and others, and then looked at the Wanxian League and others.
Endless murderous intent instantly enveloped them.
A moment later, several members of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance were buried with the Holy Dynasty warriors.
Sun Erlang looked up at the quiet sky and felt something in his heart.
Pointing towards the sky.
The vision of falling slowly emerged.
However, the information about the fall is contrary to the facts and is completely fabricated.
