Chapter 76: Clouds Move in All Directions
At the westernmost end of the vast continent, there is a long and wide yellow river suspended in the sky, no one knows where it comes from or where it goes.
People call it the Yellow Spring River.
There is a bright moon above the Yellow Springs River and a high cliff below, on top of which there is a huge palace.
It is said that a great man once lived here, and people in the Mahayana realm would come here to pay homage respectfully. However, that was tens of thousands of years ago, and those living here now are only in the late stage of the Refining Void Realm.
"Palace Master, a strange phenomenon appeared in the north not long ago, and the day turned into night. I think it is the appearance of a holy object related to our Dark Palace. Do you want to send a disciple to the land of a hundred countries to take a look?"
Hearing this, a veiled woman wearing a black lace dress and holding a black crystal staff came out from behind the scenes. She looked at the black line on the horizon, stroked the staff with her right hand, and said:
"Send the elders of the inner hall to go there. If it's a good seedling, bring it back. If it's a holy relic, let me know. I'll go myself."
The former was slightly startled, then nodded in agreement and walked out.
When everything around was quiet, the woman withdrew her beautiful eyes and turned to walk deeper into the hall. Here, there was a crystal coffin, inside of which lay a peerless beauty with black hair and a sharp face, but she revealed a look of world-weariness.
“Master,” the woman knelt on one knee, “your prediction was indeed correct. Not long ago, a strange phenomenon occurred in the north. I have sent people to investigate. I believe that there will be news coming back soon.”
"Got it. Get ready. Our Dark Hall has been silent for tens of thousands of years. If it's as I guessed, this time may be our chance to come out into the world! Go down!"
The woman kneeling on one knee raised her head in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly: "Yes, Master"
Cangmang Continent, Tianji Palace:
An ancient Bagua mirror was quietly suspended in the air, and its powerful aura caused slight ripples in the surrounding space.
This is a top-level holy weapon. Even though it is sometimes used to deduce information, or to reverse time and go back to the past to observe history, there has never been any drastic fluctuation.
On weekdays, it would at most flicker with a faint light, reflecting countless scenes of life, such as the changing of seasons, birth, aging, sickness and death. It was a mysterious holy vessel.
You can sit aside and watch it for a whole day without getting bored, just like watching a movie, enjoying it very much.
However, today, when the deputy hall master released the holy energy as usual and prepared to clean the dust around the holy vessel, the Bagua Mirror began to rise!
As it moved, the surrounding scenes disappeared, and an inky black light flickered on the mirror, as if giving a warning. The entire hall also shook a little, the spiritual energy became disordered, and the surrounding secrets and rules of destiny seemed to be forcibly reversed.
"what happened?!"
A roar resounded through the sky, and a man in a Bagua Taoist robe appeared in the hall. He had been in seclusion practicing before, but suddenly he realized that the Bagua mirror was giving him a warning. He was so frightened that he broke out in a sweat and hurried out.
"Palace Master, look at this"
The deputy hall master said with a bitter face: "I don't know what happened, the holy weapon suddenly stood up."
"Humph, get out of here, I'll figure out who did this!"
"You are going against the will of heaven and changing your fate, and you want to conceal the secret of heaven. I will catch you!" The hall master snorted coldly, then sat down, formed seals with his hands, began to communicate with the spirit of the weapon, practiced Taoism, and began to deduce where the opportunity in the heaven and earth came from.
Soon, the man opened his eyes in disbelief, looked towards the north, and said to himself: "The Bagua Mirror is actually hinting at me not to care about this matter? Could it be that even the Tianji Palace can't control what happened this time?"
After hesitating for a moment, the man called the deputy hall master and said seriously: "Restrict the disciples well and don't go out casually recently. Send two elders to hide their identities and rush to the northern Hundred Kingdoms overnight to find out what happened. There must be no mistakes."
After a pause, the man changed his tone: "No! You go in person! Do this carefully, find out what happened, and come back immediately!"
The deputy hall master was shocked, glanced at the Bagua mirror, and quickly responded.
Eastern part of the vast continent:
On this day, the Taixu Palace, which had been silent for tens of thousands of years, welcomed an uninvited guest. He did not cause much commotion and entered the underground palace with familiarity. Here, two figures were sitting there early, as if waiting for his arrival.
Take a seat, drink, it's spicy.
"After we parted that day, who could have imagined that when we met again, tens of thousands of years had passed and everything had changed." The last man to arrive said calmly, "I'm late! I'll drink a glass as a punishment!"
Having said that, he drank the glass of liquor.
One of the women took out a piece of paper and spread it out. Surprisingly, the scene of Shangguan Jade Sword breaking through the realm above Jiange was reflected in it!
"Senior Brother's cultivation should have recovered!"
The woman said happily:
"But I'm still investigating what happened in the meantime. Senior brother wasted so many years, it's impossible for him to recover for no reason. Moreover, for the sake of sister-in-law, he has to extradite the cold poison in her body every thousands of years. He has no spare energy to repair the scars. If it weren't for the holy medicine we sent him every ten thousand years, senior brother would have collapsed long ago."
"But this time it was very strange. The people I sent said that they only saw two men taking out something. Senior Brother was very shocked, so he led them to the depths of the Sword Pavilion. Not long after, they recovered."
The man in the middle was a little surprised, and his expression was reserved: "Don't you have any clues at all?"
The woman shook her head: "I don't know, the latest news hasn't come yet."
As they were talking, a thousand paper cranes appeared and fell into the woman's hands, turning into a roll of platinum paper. After spreading it out, the three of them saw the message inside and couldn't help but be stunned.
It was after Shangguan Yujian broke through and when the dark body appeared that the heaven and earth changed.
But the attention of the three people has been completely focused on one man.
"This face"
"Impossible! We have been searching for our Master for so many years but there is no news. He must have ascended to the immortal world! He is a fake!"
"How dare he pretend to be Master? This is a great disrespect to Master! Old Seven is so respectful. I am so angry. No, I have to go find him! I have to wake him up!"
The man stood up angrily, then felt his toes stagnate.
"Brother, you are still so impetuous! Master said that you should control your temper. Will Master be happy if you act like this?"
After hearing this, the former couldn't help but calm down. Seeing this, another man also said, "Fourth Brother, Xiao Shiwu is right. You should control your temper. The most urgent task now is to find out the reason for the change in Seventh Brother, um..."
"I'll go!"
The man coughed twice and said, "You all have your own public identities. Although you don't reveal them to the public, it's still a bit troublesome to hide them from those forces. Just let me go. After what happened that year, who would have thought that I was not dead?"
"It's more convenient for me to go than for any of you to go. I've walked in the darkness for so many years and I've come back. Why would I be afraid of this time?"
Hearing this, the fourth and fifteenth looked at each other, and after a moment of silence, they nodded:
"Then you better be careful. Although we have tried our best to conceal our actions and secretly planted many people, as the saying goes, a single move can affect the entire body. If anything happens to you, we will not be able to ignore it."
"I see," the former smiled, "I'll let you know once I find out."
After saying that, the man didn't waste any more time. He opened a crack with his mind and left from the void.
"Eleventh Junior Brother's spiritual awareness has become even stronger. It seems that Eleven has made a lot of efforts to block those people's investigation for so many years."
The woman nodded and said with a little concern: "Fourth Brother, have you found Little Eighteen and Tenth Brother yet? They have been missing mysteriously for so long, and there is no news at all."
The fourth brother was breathing heavily: "Don't worry about their business, I will find them!"
"I'm leaving now. Contact me if you need anything!"
