Chapter 146: The Mist Emperor (2 in 1, 6000 words)
In the snow and wind at the top of the mountain range, there were strange, shrill and unpleasant cries like those of night owls.
It was the cry of the "Man-eating Dusk Bat" summoned by Long Ting, the inheritor of Longmen, with the sound of a flute. This was a demon with powerful combat power and a ferocious temperament. Its body was two or three meters long, with broad fleshy wings, sharp claws, and a ferocious humanoid head.
In the confrontation on the top of the mountain, he was at a disadvantage and was forced to summon a group of man-eating dusk bats to balance Jiang Ning.
The screams of the man-eating dusk bats rang out as they continued to die under Jiang Ning's sword, turning into a bloody rain in the wind.
“Boom!”
Long Ting fought and retreated, his figure flying towards the north.
The fluctuations of the magical energy from the confrontation between the two gradually weakened and disappeared into the darkness.
Li Weiyi stood up slowly, looking at the gap in the mountain where the avalanche occurred a hundred feet away, and then looking in the direction where the two had left, his eyes full of longing. Only when one's cultivation reaches such a high level can one lead the younger generation and stand out from the crowd.
His gaze fell on Li Ling beside him, and he could feel the completely different look in her eyes, just like a sixteen-year-old girl who had seen thousands of years of changes in one day.
Li Ling turned around and met his eyes: "Want to chat?"
"Since we are chatting, I hope everyone can be honest."
Li Weiyi was not intimidated by the invisible aura emanating from her. He tried hard to adjust his mind and told himself that she was no longer the ancient emperor who once dominated the world with his power.
Li Ling looked towards Yunzhou, which was shrouded in endless darkness and silence, with deep eyes: "Have you heard of Yangjia?"
Li Weiyi looked confused and shook his head.
"Don't you have three old dead guys around you? Don't they know either?" Li Ling said.
Li Weiyi shook his head again.
"Humph, these three people are really ignorant."
Li Ling took this as a starting point and continued to tell the story in detail: "That day, you fell onto the bronze ship and landed on my grave, causing a lot of blood to flow. It was the blood flowing from your body that awakened me, who had already passed away."
"This is the unique energy of the bloodline of your Gu clan's descendant!"
"If I stop here, I will just wake up, just like those three old guys, I am just a dead soul. My previous cultivation experience is no longer useful. I must follow the path of dead souls. It is extremely unlikely that I can cultivate to my previous level again."
"Most of the dead spirits in the Netherworld grow stronger by devouring each other. Their cultivation methods are learned through devouring each other. Their wisdom is gradually born after they become powerful."
"So, compared to the completely unfamiliar and uncertain road of the dead, I chose the road of life that I have walked before."
"Once I truly come back to life, my bones will grow flesh, my springs and sea of qi will return naturally, my Dao seeds will bloom and bear fruit easily, and my immortality locks have already been broken... I can return to my peak in a very short time, and even recast a stronger and more perfect foundation, so I can go even further in the future."
"But to reverse life and death is to go against the laws of life and destroy the order of the Yang World."
"The only way is to use the special bloodline of your ancient clan member and marry back to the Yang World."
Li Weiyi was shocked by her statement and found it hard to understand: "Marrying back to the living world? A ghost marriage?"
Li Ling seemed extremely calm: "According to the records in the classics, your ancient clan does have extraordinary abilities and can seize the fortune of heaven and earth. As long as you become a member of the family, you can be reborn from the dead."
Li Weiyi saw that she was extremely serious and didn't seem to be joking: "Too absurd and superstitious. Senior is an ancient emperor, but you also believe in nonsense recorded in the classics? As long as you marry the son of this family, you can be reborn from the dead. Wouldn't all the dead souls in the world rush to marry him? Besides, senior said that this is destroying the order of the Yang world and violating the laws of life. Who can go against the laws of nature?"
"The ruler of order, rules, and laws." Li Ling answered him in a serious tone.
Li Weiyi said: "..."
"It is said that the ancestor of your ancient clan was very extraordinary, so the bloodline of all the descendants in later generations is blessed by nature."
Li Ling continued, "I was not sure whether Yang Jia really existed until your guardian wife appeared, and then I completely believed the legend."
Li Weiyi fell silent.
The guardian wife is indeed strange. It seems that there is no other reasonable explanation except believing in Zen and observing the fog.
He asked: "How is Yang Jia married? Why did you drag me into the grave on the bronze ship and want to kill me?"
Li Ling stared at him and said, "I didn't mean to kill you. I dragged you into the tomb to complete the Yang Marriage Ceremony."
"Yang marriage ceremony?" Li Weiyi asked.
Li Ling said, "It's an exchange of souls! In the tomb, I injected a strand of my soul into your body. When I was about to take your soul, you broke free, so the ceremony was only half completed."
Li Weiyi recalled carefully that when he faced Chanhai Guanwu Baigu's forehead in the tomb, there was indeed an icy force entering between his eyebrows.
No wonder Li Ling can always find him and accurately locate him.
No wonder Yanzhou Mu Zhu Qinfeng mistook him. It was because he sensed the soul aura of Chanhai Guanwu in him.
"wrong!"
Li Weiyi shook his head and said, "On the bronze ship, you clearly said that you would need a large amount of my blood and soul. Since it is a wedding ceremony, everyone should be fair. Why should I pay so much more? If you had said at the time that you only needed a wisp of my soul, perhaps there wouldn't be so many misunderstandings later."
Li Ling said: "We need a lot of your blood in order to grow flesh and blood that can fight against the order of the living world and become a living being again. As for the soul... it's the same reason. After all, you are a normal person in the living world, and your wife is an abnormal person."
Li Weiyi always felt that she was insincere, not frank enough, and did not tell the whole truth.
It doesn't matter! Because it is absolutely impossible for Li Weiyi to give her a large amount of blood and soul. Who knows if he will be controlled by her in the future?
Or let her control his life and death? Not to mention that she didn't really want to get married.
Even if she really wants to get married, a woman is a completely different person before and after marriage. The more she gives away before marriage, the more she will be restricted after marriage.
"What if I choose not to give you blood and soul?"
Li Weiyi thought of the tyrannical strength that the other party had shown before, and finally swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat. He smiled and said, "Why do I feel that the so-called Yang Marriage Ceremony is just you constantly forcing me to take it, and you never asked about my wishes."
"I can understand your mentality. You are the ancient emperor, a being standing at the top of the Lingxiao habitat. You once had the supreme magical power to plow a thousand miles with one finger and hold the river and the sea in a cup. How could you possibly be interested in a weak mortal man?"
"Do you care about his wishes? Do you consider his feelings? You don't regard him as a husband for marriage, but just a tool to help you live again."
"If you had chosen to communicate at the beginning, the results might have been completely different."
Li Ling refuted: "When I first communicated with you, would you really give me blood and soul? Would you believe me? Without enough understanding, neither of us would trust each other."
"You are right. After thousands of years of practice, my mentality has changed a lot. It is difficult for me to put myself in the shoes of a mortal."
"But I can assure you that once the Yang Marriage Ceremony is completed, I will definitely be responsible for you and will definitely protect you for the rest of your life."
"If you don't believe me, you can go ask those three old guys. They should know what kind of person Chan Hai Guan Wu is."
Li Ling's gaze fell on Li Weiyi's chest, his eyes fixed on the Buddha's relic on the Taoist Tai Chi fish. From there, he sensed the fluctuations of the three deceased souls.
The reason why she could sense it was because the three masters had been sensing the outside world and eavesdropping on their conversation.
Master Guan was very excited and sent a message to Li Weiyi: "Marry her. She is Chanhai Guanwu. Losing a little blood and soul is nothing. You control a part of her soul anyway. Just think about it. When you travel around the world in the future, you can mention that my wife is Chanhai Guanwu. How face-saving it will be!"
The spiritual master said: "The only advice I can give you is that all the logic of Yang Jia and Chan Hai Guan Wu's actions from waking up on the bronze ship to parasitizing Li Ling's body makes sense. She should be telling the truth."
Master Guan said, "The information I can give you is that at least what Chanhai Guanwu did during her lifetime is something I admire. But don't listen to your Master Guan. Once you marry her, the consequences will be serious. This will be a lifelong bond."
Li Ling said in a cold voice: "You three think that I can't hear your voice transmission? How dare you call me Zen Sea and Mist? How did you address me when you came to pay your respects to me a thousand years ago?"
The three masters immediately fell silent and stopped talking.
"boom!"
“Boom!”
…
The ground shook.
Snow flakes splashed down from the top of the mountain, accompanied by a large amount of gravel rolling down.
“Ouch!”
A deafening tiger roar echoed through the night, and ripples of magical energy appeared in the air.
On the snowy plain on the mountain ridge, strong men are fighting fiercely again.
Zouwu, which had become the size of a cat, was very excited and flew to the top of the mountain, but Li Ling grabbed its tail and lifted it upside down.
"It's Cangli's aura of power. Why did he come to the Land of the Dead?"
Li Weiyi became invisible again, restrained his aura, and looked upwards.
It can be seen that two bright balls of magical energy are colliding fiercely. Cangli released the White Tiger combat intention, and on the opposite side was a ball of dazzling golden light. The creature in the golden light had four arms, and each of the four arms held a powerful high-level magical weapon.
"It should be the inheritor of the demon clan of Tianya Mountain, the Heartless Golden Ape." Li Ling said.
Li Weiyi nodded. Apart from Zuoqiu Ting, the only young master in the entire southern region who could fight Cangli to this extent was Wuxin Golden Ape.
This is an extraordinary signal!
If it wasn't for the last resort, why would these young geniuses with bright futures run to the realm of the dead? Moreover, they made such a big noise, aren't they afraid of disturbing the dead spirits of the Dao level?
Thinking of something, the two looked at each other suddenly.
Li Weiyi said: "If unrest breaks out in Yaoguan City and Zangxian Town, it will inevitably trigger a bigger chain reaction, and the entire Lizhou will be engulfed in war. The younger generation of martial artists from various forces want to leave Lizhou, and it seems that it is safer to go to the edge of the Netherworld of the Dead."
"That's the truth." Li Ling said.
Li Weiyi felt a strong sense of crisis and said, "The Jiuli tribe will send the outstanding martial artists of the younger generation out of the Lizhou battlefield, and the four major sects will definitely do the same. I'm afraid this mountain range will be very busy in the future. Senior Chanhai, how strong are you? Can you handle it?"
Chanhai Guanwu's strength is very strong, but it seems that it will not last long and he can only bluff, so Li Weiyi asked this question.
Li Ling said: "If you can complete the Yang marriage, I will be able to protect you."
Li Weiyi smiled noncommittally: "Is there no other way?"
"Yes, we will enter Shaoyang Star and hide for a few days. After they pass through, we will slowly follow them." Li Ling said.
This is indeed a good idea! It is wise to avoid the sharp edge for the time being, there is no need to dance on the edge of a knife.
But Li Weiyi was afraid that it would be easier to invite the gods than to send them away, so he communicated with the spirit master first.
"Don't worry, Shaoyang Star is your home court." Master Lingwei didn't dare to say too much, and spoke briefly, for fear of offending Chanhai Guanwu again.
Li Weiyi and Li Ling quickly rushed down the mountain to the side of the realm of the dead.
In a secluded area near the foot of the mountain, Li Weiyi quickly dug out a cave and sealed the entrance with ghost flags and soil.
Before activating the Buddha's relics, he used a black cloth bag that could block perception and put Zou Wu inside.
“Wow!”
The spatial fluctuations spread, and he and Li Ling disappeared in the cave.
Inside the cave, there were only the Buddha's relics held up in the air by a Tai Chi mark.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
…
After Li Weiyi's mental power attainment reached the level of a square inch of bright fire, the blood mud space had become several dozen feet in radius.
On the blood-colored mud ground, the more than 30-meter-long jade boat and the silver coffin as big as a corridor house are the most eye-catching.
Li Ling's eyes were attracted by the more than two-meter-tall state governor's seal on the bow of the magical jade boat. She said softly, "I didn't expect that you would have such a treasure."
“Wow!”
A bright aura bloomed from Li Ling's body, her delicate body was wrapped in a ball of light, and the powerful aura of the ancient emperor burst out.
Gradually, a beautiful figure who was much taller than Li Ling walked out of Ruihua. She was nearly 1.8 meters tall, with perfect body proportions.
She was dressed in a red gown of extraordinary quality, with her long hair loose, full of peaceful and quiet Taoist aura.
Her skin was as white as fairy jade, with a flower ornament on her brow. She looked only eighteen or nineteen years old. Although she was young, she gave people a fierce temperament that looked down on the world.
Chan Hai Guan Wu did not release her aura deliberately, but she possessed the bones of an ancient emperor, and when her true body stepped out, it was enough to shock ordinary martial artists to their knees.
Li Weiyi performed the Yuxu breathing method, calmed his mind, stood three feet away, and stared at her.
I couldn't see her face clearly.
There is a mysterious energy around her that distorts space and light.
“Wow!”
Zen Hai Guan Wu was like a fairy in red, soaring up into the sky, landing on the bow of the magic jade boat, and touching the official seal with her slender fingers.
Circles of magical energy ripples emanated from the fingertips.
The official seal, which was originally the size of a millstone, quickly shrank to the size of a fist and fell into her palm.
The soul shadows of the three masters appeared behind Li Weiyi.
The soul of Master Guan looked out and whispered to encourage him: "Marry her. Even if you suffer a little loss now, you will gain a lot in terms of face!"
"Master Guan, you only want the appearance, not the substance?"
Li Weiyi shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said loudly: "Senior Chanhai, didn't you say that you need a lot of my blood to grow flesh from bones? I see that you seem to have grown back into flesh now."
Chanhai Guanwu stood on the jade boat, like an immortal who wanted to ride the wind away, and said condescendingly: "This is the body condensed from the Blood Moon Lake in the Thirty-three Li Mountain. It cannot be hidden from the order of the Yang Realm. Only in that bone sea and this Shaoyang Star can it leave Li Ling's body."
Li Weiyi said: "So, if you want to completely break away from the limitations of Li Ling's physical body, truly return to life, and roam freely in the universe, you still need a lot of my blood and soul? Let me give you a bottom line!"
"I will definitely become weak due to the massive loss of blood, but that's still bearable. But I really can't give you a large number of souls."
"No matter how wise you were when you were alive, I really don't know you. I have no obligation to pay such a price to help someone I don't owe anything to."
Chanhai Guanwu and Li Weiyi looked at each other and saw that he was not giving in at all: "Is this your final decision? Aren't you afraid that I will get angry out of shame? What do you think is your chance of winning if you two fight together?"
Li Weiyi said: "Senior, don't threaten me. Killing me will not do you any good. You won't do that."
Master Guan said, "Mist Emperor, he is a person that the master of the bronze ship values, and he is also the master of Shaoyang Star. You should know better than us what these two forces mean."
Zenhai Guanwu sighed and said, "Come up, I will tell you something honestly."
Li Weiyi thought about it, then jumped and landed on the jade boat.
The two stood opposite each other, looking at each other again, but with different mentalities.
A white light emerged on the jade boat, isolating it from the outside world.
Zenhai Guanwu finally spoke: "In fact, the Yang Marriage Ceremony does not necessarily require a large amount of your soul. For the soul exchange, only one strand from each party is enough."
"Then why are you asking for such a high price?" Li Weiyi asked puzzledly.
Zenhai Guanwu said: "Because I don't want to go through the normal Yang marriage ceremony."
"What is a normal Yang marriage ceremony?" Li Weiyi asked.
Zenhai Guanwu said with the fewest words: "Bridal chamber."
Li Weiyi was not a fool. He understood immediately, and then he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He suddenly said, "I understand! This is really too difficult for you. A being like you, with such a heart, and the object is an ordinary person like me. It must be difficult for you to get over the mental barrier, right?"
“Yes, it’s difficult.”
Zenhai Guanwu said: "But do you know why I chose to talk to you face to face instead of forcibly taking your blood and soul? Because you are actually okay, and I can convince myself to accept you."
After knowing the truth, Li Weiyi felt much more relaxed and said with a smile: "I feel like you are being reluctant, and I feel like you haven't convinced yourself yet."
Zenhai Guanwu couldn't smile at all: "I know you are also resistant, so I thought of a good way to get along. We can be husband and wife in name only, and allies in reality. You help me marry back to the Yang world, and I will help you practice and protect you. It's a win-win for both of us, why not do it?"
"Then aren't you another guardian wife? In fact, if it's just an exchange of a wisp of soul, I wouldn't be that resistant." Li Weiyi observed her eyes and said with a smile.
Chanhai Guanwu had black lines on his forehead and knew that he shouldn't tell him the truth.
Li Weiyi stopped smiling and said, "It was just a joke. I am not the kind of person who takes advantage of others' misfortunes. But I have already told you my bottom line. I really cannot take a large amount of my soul to complete the Yang marriage. Besides, are you sure that my guardian wife will agree?"
Zen sea watching the fog fell into deep thought.
"You were right in what you said before. We can be allies, at least we don't have to be enemies. If you force it, you will be retaliated. Do you really think you can suppress me forever? My cultivation speed is not slow."
Li Weiyi jumped off the jade boat.
…
Li Weiyi had plenty of food, and he had "earned" a lot of precious medicines and exotic medicines in the Zangxian Town, so he began to practice in seclusion in the blood mud space.
With the continuous supply of spiritual light from the Light Flame Pill and the Fusang Sacred Tree to replenish his mental power, he can activate the Taoist Tai Chi Fish for a long time.
Half a month later.
Li Weiyi, who was sitting cross-legged on a huge silver coffin, raised his right arm and gathered the magical energy in his palm, forming a storm vortex with a diameter of two meters.
Within the vortex, the magical energy condensed into three-inch long ox-hair needles.
“Bang bang!”
Dozens of condensed magic energy needles hit the jade boat in the distance one after another, making a sonorous sound that had the ability to pierce through gold and split stone.
Li Weiyi took the magic energy back into his body and treasured it very much.
After all, the first Qi Sea must be fully cultivated before the impact of the second level of the Five Seas Realm can be achieved. After half a month of accumulation, the five directions have been accumulated and the Qi Sea is half full.
"The law of Qi has become real. With my cultivation in the first level of the Five Seas Realm, I have cultivated the second level of the Five Seas Qi."
Li Weiyi was in a very good mood. He swallowed the Light Flame Pill for a long time. The spiritual light and fire in the spiritual world of his forehead were strong, and he could impact the "Square Chi Realm" of the Great Mind Master at any time.
Chan Hai Guan Wu, who was meditating on the jade boat, was awakened by the flying needles of magic energy he shot out. Curiosity appeared in his eyes, so he slapped him out from the air.
“Wow!”
A magical handprint several meters in size hung above Li Weiyi's head.
Li Weiyi had already noticed it. He felt strong winds coming from all directions, and the pressure was so great that it felt like the sky was falling.
"Heaven-turning palm print."
A palm was thrown towards the sky, and the magical energy gushed out. A mysterious and huge golden seal appeared, as big as a millstone, and collided with the hand seal made by Chan Hai Guan Wu.
With a loud bang, both of them collapsed.
She exclaimed, "It is indeed a unique skill of the Chan Sect, and it is extremely powerful. Your magical energy is only the second-level energy of the Five Seas. But with this palm technique, the divine seal condensed out can condense the magical energy to four or five times the level of the second-level energy."
"How about you give me another slap?" Li Weiyi asked.
Chanhai Guanwu frowned slightly, not wanting to pay attention to him, and continued to absorb the power of Shaoyang Star to nourish his soul.
Li Weiyi stood up and said, "I am serious. When I collided with you just now, I vaguely felt the existence of the battle intention. I think that the move of the Heaven-shaking Palm Seal should be able to cultivate a powerful battle intention, but it needs to be explored in battle."
Zenhai Guanwu looked at Li Ling and said, "Go and feed him your moves. Don't hold back."
