At the westernmost side of the vast Eastern Territory, the lush forest here is like a green ocean with no end in sight.
The trees tower into the clouds, and their branches and leaves are intertwined, forming a huge canopy that blocks out the sun.
From time to time, bursts of bird singing could be heard in the woods, but they were drowned out by the sound of the surging and rushing river.
Water splashed, like smoke and fog, filling the air.
In the central area where the forest and the river meet, there is an ancient and sturdy iron chain bridge spanning it.
This iron chain bridge connects to a mysterious place on the other side of the river, and under the bridge is a bottomless abyss.
Endless dust and fog rose from the bottom of the valley, like the foul air exhaled by the earth, filling the entire space.
Along with the dust and fog came gusts of cold and biting wind, whistling through the iron chains, making creepy sounds.
"Damn it, I didn't expect Ximen Chuixue to be so strong. I've been away for so long, but the sword energy in my body still hasn't completely disappeared."
A cold voice came from the forest, and a veiled woman appeared quietly.
This person was none other than Dharma King Xuan Yue who had been on the run for a few days.
Just as she was approaching the chain bridge, the surging power of heaven and earth suddenly appeared, and the whole earth began to tremble violently, as if there was an earthquake.
"Who trespassed into my Seven Killing Palace?"
The majestic voice spread in all directions, and a man with a crew cut, rough face, dull eyes jumped out from the ground.
This person is none other than Ksitigarbha, one of the three Dharma Kings of the Seven Killing Hall.
"Ksitigarbha, it's me, Xuan Yue."
Xuan Yue Dharma King quickly spoke
Ksitigarbha looked at her, nodded stiffly and said, "Didn't the Palace Master ask you to go and snatch the divine Dao magic formula? How is it going?"
"I……"
Dharma King Xuan Yue hesitated for a moment before saying, "Originally everything was going as planned, but Yuan Tiangang showed up and took away the divine magic formula."
"Afterwards, Lan Xuan and I went to chase him, but we were stopped by another of the Five Supremes from the Heavens Beyond Heaven. Lan Xuan died in order to protect me."
There was a hint of sadness and reluctance in her tone, but she was helpless.
After hearing this, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's dull eyes fluctuated a little, and the two of them fell silent.
Although the two didn't say anything, they were still somewhat sad in their hearts. After all, Lan Xuan had been friends with them for decades.
Ksitigarbha Dharma King sighed and said to himself: "Although the Palace Master has calculated it, he has not predicted it."
After adjusting his mood for a while, he looked at Xuan Yue and said in a low voice:
"The Palace Master has long understood that you two cannot obtain the magic formula with your strength. This fight is just a false impression for the forces in the Eastern Region."
"Our real target is actually an ancient pearl passed down from the ancestors of Huainan Marquis, called the 'Seven Star Prison Pearl'."
"I just didn't expect that Lan Xuan would die this time. It's really a pity."
Dharma King Xuan Yue was also speechless. If he had known this would happen, there would have been no need for him and Lan Xuan to pursue Yuan Tiangang, and Lan Xuan would not have died.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva ignored her emotions and continued, "The dead are gone, so let's complete the task assigned by the Palace Master as soon as possible!"
"After completing the mission, the Seven Killing Palace will hold a luxurious funeral for Lan Xuan."
The scene changed.
Yuan Tiangang, who had taken away the divine magic, has returned to the palace where Gu Chuan is.
"My Lord, the mission was successfully completed."
"This is the divine art that all the major forces are fighting for."
Yuan Tiangang took out an ancient booklet from his chest, on which were written four big characters: "Dragon Soaring Technique".
Although the martial arts method is simple, it is still spiritual. The four big characters on the cover seem to have a special magical power, constantly drawing Gu Chuan in.
"The secret cultivation method of the ancient water god?"
"Just the incompleteness is enough to attract me to come in and take a look. No wonder all the major forces are fighting over it."
Gu Chuan stretched out his right hand, slowly took the incomplete martial arts manual, and said in a slightly solemn tone:
When I opened the first page, a wonderful feeling instantly came to my heart, and then countless water elements surged out from the ground around me.
As he became more and more obsessed, the power of the water element around him became stronger and stronger.
"Um?!!"
Yuan Tiangang's eyelids trembled slightly, and he made a few hand gestures to form a barrier around Gu Chuan to prevent the breath from leaking out.
Ximen Chuxue, who arrived a little later, discovered this situation as soon as he came in, and quickly used his sword skills to help.
"Brother Yuan, what's going on?"
Ximen Chuxue looked at the scene in front of him, frowned, and asked
Yuan Tiangang narrowed his eyes and responded, "The Lord was comprehending the divine law, and then these powerful water elemental forces suddenly emerged from the ground."
"Looking at this situation, the spell is probably not just incomplete, it must have a very great origin."
Obviously, the Shinto techniques cultivated by ordinary demigods are not so exaggerated.
Obviously, only a being beyond demigod can cause such a huge disturbance.
And this is just a viewing. I can't believe how powerful it will be when it is truly mastered.
…
After a while, Gu Chuan finally finished reading the book of magic and his mind came back to life.
There was a trace of unsatisfied feeling on his face, and he said with some regret: "This spell is really powerful, but it's a pity that it is too seriously damaged, otherwise it would definitely be an astonishing spell."
Although his mind was immersed in the magic formula, he was also very aware of what was happening outside.
As soon as he thought of this, he felt a little unwilling in his heart and tried to call the system: "Tongzi, where did this magic formula come from?"
“Is there any way to complete it?”
【Ding, the information has been displayed.】
[Name: Shinto Technique? Dragon Soar Technique]
[Origin: This Shinto formula comes from the ancient water god Long Teng. Water is the source of all things and the beginning of life. This formula integrates all the water in the world... (10,000 words omitted)]
[Repair conditions: 300 million divine sources.]
"Divine source? Is this the currency that gods use to trade with each other?"
Looking at the two unfamiliar words in front of him, Gu Chuan said thoughtfully
Although it cannot be completed now, this book of magic is very valuable. Gu Chuan has no intention of throwing it away, but keeps it in a collection.
After doing all this, Gu Chuan began to ask about the recent situation in Tianwaitian.
"General, this book of magic has an extraordinary origin and will have immeasurable value for the future development of our Tianwaitian."
Gu Chuan held the spell in his hand and said calmly, "You and Fubuki were able to bring it back, so I guess you encountered a lot of trouble along the way, right?"
Yuan Tiangang cannot be denied.
He nodded slightly and said in a hoarse voice: "During this period, I did offend a lot of forces. Among them, the Lan Xuan Dharma King of the Seven Killing Hall was even killed by Brother Ximen."
"It's a pity that I didn't see the Chen Wang Gu Baisheng that you ordered. It's really a pity..."
Ximen Chuxue stood quietly by the side, holding the sword, without interrupting.
