Chapter 193: All parties fight for it, and only those with virtue will take over. Is this what the younger generation should be like?
The inheritor of Yuheng's origin appeared in the world, and the whole world was shocked and the clouds in all directions were moving.
The hidden sect Chen Sect was also pushed to the forefront of the storm.
Nanmo Prefecture is located between Nanhuang Prefecture and Xiling Prefecture. It is full of deep mountains and ancient peaks, shrouded in clouds and mist all year round. There are many hidden sects and schools, and there are even more forces like the Chen Sect.
Before this, many people didn’t even know there was such a sect.
However, because the origin of Yuheng is so fascinating, many immortal sects have turned their attention to Nanmozhou, trying to find the location of Chen Zong and force the inheritor of Yuheng's origin to show up.
It has to be said that the cruelty and tyranny of the cultivation world was fully revealed at this time.
For a time, Zhongtian Province was in turmoil.
With the advent of the Seven Star Origin, the prelude to the cruel world gradually begins, and the major immortal forces do not hide their greedy ambitions at all.
At the same time, three thousand miles to the east of the Qingpu Mountains, there are towering mountains and steep ridges, winding like snakes, showing their grandeur, with rivers and swamps running through them. Miasma is rising in the depths, and the roars of mountain spirits and wild beasts can be heard one after another.
In an abandoned ancient temple overgrown with weeds and vines, a loud noise suddenly came out, and the dry well in the middle flickered with light. A ray of light that reached the sky and covered the surroundings was then filled with the aura of space, and then several figures emerged and walked out of it.
“It really seems like just another day.”
Xiao Teng looked at the clear blue sky outside, and thought of the gloomy scene in the Star Skeleton Secret Realm. He couldn't help but sigh, but he couldn't hide his joy and excitement on his face.
The reason was simple. During this trip to the Secret Realm of Star Skeleton, he finally obtained the Tianxuan Origin, one of the Seven Star Origins that he had been longing for.
With that part of Tianxuan's origin, he awakened part of his destiny, inherited many legacies of the Lord of the Stars from the unknown realm of time and space, and greatly increased his strength.
"Unfortunately, with the Tianxuan Origin, I cannot completely control this part of the Star Skeleton Secret Realm, but it has allowed me to condense a trace of the power of the secret realm from it. Once I obtain the complete Seven Star Origin, I can come here to refine it..."
Xiao Teng felt a little regretful.
The Secret Realm of Star Remains is called a secret realm, but in fact it is an artificial star refined by a powerful being using the remains of stars as materials. It has its own space world inside and is very huge.
In his opinion, the scope of this Star Skeleton Secret Realm is no less than a small world in the saint's world.
"Don't be sentimental for now, think about how to get out of this predicament..."
"The commotion here just now has attracted the attention of many monks. We entered the Star Skeleton Secret Realm in advance and almost emptied it. If these monks who came later find out, they will not let us go."
Behind Xiao Teng, Lou Xinyu, the quasi-saint of the Goddess Palace, suddenly spoke.
"Someone is coming. Let's leave here first." Xiao Teng nodded. He also felt the movement in the distance. There were cultivators rushing towards this place.
At that moment, a secret treasure appeared in his hand, and the hazy starlight sprinkled down, turning into a sharp blade that easily cut a crack in the void before his eyes.
At the same time, a turquoise green boat appeared. It was the size of a palm, but it grew bigger in the wind. In the blink of an eye, it was more than several feet long. It instantly sank into the void crack with several people on board and disappeared.
Although Xiao Teng has reached the sixth realm of cultivation and does not have the ability to cross the void, the secret treasures in his hands all come from the Star Skeleton Secret Realm and are extremely powerful.
One is called the Star-Moon Blade, which is forged with the light of the stars and the moon. It is extremely sharp and can easily break through the void. Another is called the Star-Moon Boat, which can carry people across the void without fear of strong winds and turbulent currents.
"Did you see the man's appearance clearly?"
"It should be no mistake. It's Xiao Teng. His portrait has been circulated everywhere in the past few days."
"What a pity, we were a step too late and he escaped..."
Soon, several monks came to the dilapidated temple. One of them held a photo stone in his hand and compared it with the people who had just disappeared.
They felt a little regretful, and then explored here again, and found the abnormality of the dry well. Unfortunately, it was just a one-way teleportation array and had expired.
"Xiao Teng has already appeared. He must have obtained the Seven Star Origin in the Star Skeleton Secret Realm."
"He has become the target of public criticism. It would be fine if he doesn't show up. Once he shows up, everyone will target him. I just don't know if the Great Xia Dynasty can withstand such pressure for him."
One of them sneered and quickly passed on what had just happened to the Taoist forces behind him.
"Finally a response?"
Jiang Lan, who had been sitting quietly in Anqiu City for several days, finally got the news he wanted and started to set off.
His departure immediately attracted the attention of many monks in Anqiu City.
In the past few days, some people had suspected that the news of the inheritor of Yuheng's origin might have been released by Jiang Lan, but his subsequent actions dispelled many people's speculations.
Because he did not chase after Jiang Yuheng and the people of Chen Sect after they fled. Instead, he sat quietly for several days, waiting for the incident to pass, as if he had no intention of interfering in the matter.
Think about it from another perspective. If he knew that Jiang Yuheng had the Yuheng origin, why would he tell it to others? What good would it do for him? The more people pay attention to Jiang Yuheng, the less likely he is to get it.
Rather than making it public, it is better to plot secretly. Who will know when the Yuheng origin is obtained? Many people think that this news is likely to be released by the person behind Xiao Teng to attract attention to him...
In today's Great Xia, both the Zhenbei Palace and Emperor Xia have clarified that the most likely person is the Great Xia's national teacher Ge Qixing.
This person has extraordinary powers, including the ability to tell fortunes through astrology and have insight into the past and present. He was once praised by Li Ran, a saint from the Taiyi Sect, who said that he was a rare and extraordinary person in the world.
It just so happened that Xiao Teng was his disciple.
This way, things become clear.
He was the one who deduced the secret realm of the Star Skeleton, and he was also the one who concealed its secrets. He was also likely the one who leaked the news about the inheritor of the origin of Yuheng...
“I don’t have such magical powers that I don’t even know who the inheritor of Yuheng’s origin is.”
"But this spearhead is indeed directed at me. There is a strong sense of malice in it."
In the Great Xia State Master's Mansion, on the Star Picking Platform, Ge Qixing stood tall.
He wore a jade crown and had a refined and easy-going face. His Daluo Taoist robe was shining with stars. There seemed to be a surge of chaotic energy in the depths of his sleeves, and it seemed as if there were huge stars rotating, with an astonishing momentum.
In front of him, there was an ancient jade compass with stars on it, which seemed to correspond to a certain star field. There were seven extremely bright stars in it, corresponding to the seven star origins that the world was fighting for today.
In this star map, in addition to the Seven Star Origins, there is also a wisp of gray fog, coming from an unknown realm of time and space. The fog is vast and boundless, sometimes turning into an evil dragon, sometimes turning into a giant monster, hovering around the Seven Star Origins, waiting for an opportunity to seize it.
Ge Qixing frowned and thought to himself, "Seven stars falling from the sky is a sign of great auspiciousness, but where does this unknown malicious intent come from?"
"The seven stars have been devoured. I'm afraid the celestial phenomena will undergo another major change, creating unprecedented turmoil."
"If nothing unexpected happened to Teng'er, he should have obtained the origin of Tianxuan..."
When he was young, he fell into a secret treasure of time and space. In an unknown plane, he obtained part of the inheritance of the Ancient Star Sect. With the help of those inheritances, he has achieved his extraordinary achievements today.
The Ancient Star Sect is a sect that rules over all the stars and is conferred by the Heavenly Court. Its disciples enjoy orthodox worship and once they enter the Heavenly Realm, they may become the masters of various stars.
Among them there are even different levels of attainment, such as Star God, Lord of Seven Stars, Ziwei Emperor, Lord of Ten Thousand Stars, etc. If one attains one of them, he can enjoy eternal life and be free.
The current Goddess Palace in Zhongtianzhou actually has many connections with the ancient Star Sect. Among them, the most precious treasure, the Yaoguang Fairy Jade, has a great origin and was the companion of the first Lord of Yaoguang.
The destiny and position can be inherited, but the companion objects will only recognize the first generation owner. After the death of the first Lord of Yaoguang, the Yaoguang Fairy Jade has never been truly revived.
But even so, this is also a treasure, and its power far exceeds any Taoist weapon or spiritual treasure.
With this treasure accompanying him, it is almost impossible for Xiao Teng to encounter any danger in the Star Skeleton Secret Realm.
From the moment he was born, Ge Qixing had paved the way for him. Even Xiao Teng's biological mother, Lou Long, the Palace Master of the Goddess Palace, was also a spiritual body specially selected by him.
This time, the heaven and earth are in great motion, with dragons and snakes emerging from the land. It is also a good time for Ge Qixing to soar into the sky.
As the news of Xiao Teng's appearance spread around the Qingpu Mountains, the ancient temple he walked out of that day was explored by many people.
Among them there was an old Taoist in a purple robe, who attracted particular attention. With his childlike face, white hair and calm eyes, he looked like a Taoist master, giving people a sense of immortality.
Many people recognized that he was the Taoist Zixia who had once killed everyone in the secret realm of True Lord Zixia. This person was extremely powerful. In order to seize the inheritance of True Lord Zixia, he lay dormant for decades. Now he has broken through the seventh realm and is very powerful.
In addition to Taoist Zixia, a powerful demon also attracted the attention of many people.
Its head is like a dragon with two horns and a tall body, but its face is shriveled and its eye sockets are sunken. Its eyes are like torches, which make people feel painful when looking at them. It is a Taoist priest wearing a tattered red robe and a wine jug hanging from its waist.
Taoist Chi Jiao is a well-known and powerful independent cultivator of the demon race. He has been famous for hundreds of years. He had reached the seventh realm many years ago, and now he is probably about to enter the eighth realm and become a powerful being.
The gray-robed old man in Anqiu City that day was not comparable to the Taoist Chijiao at all. The gap in strength was too huge.
Taoist Zixia traveled with Taoist Chijiao and called him "big brother". All the cultivators they met were avoided by them like the plague.
Taoist Chi Jiao has a secret treasure in his hand, called the Seeking Sword, which is said to be related to cause and effect.
The two of them fiddled in the ancient temple for a long time, and finally a red divine cloud broke through and there seemed to be a small sword shining with red light in the middle. It was as fast as thunder and sank directly into the void. The two of them followed quickly behind.
Upon seeing this, the other monks hurriedly followed behind, knowing that there would definitely be a discovery.
Powerful independent cultivators like Taoist Zixia and Taoist Chijiao have almost no ties and only pursue the power of cultivation in this life. The Seven Star Origin that has descended to the world this time is the most tempting to them.
Their potential has almost been exhausted, and without other opportunities and luck, it will be almost impossible to make further progress.
Normally, even the disciples of major sects would not dare to provoke these beings easily.
"According to the speed of the Xingyue Boat, it should be leaving Qingpu County now..."
"As long as we return to the imperial capital, everything will be safe. No one should have noticed me yet."
A ball of hazy starlight enveloped the Star-Moon Boat. Xiao Teng, Lou Xinyu, Ye Shiyan and others were sitting quietly in the boat.
The terrifying gale whizzed past on both sides, but it could not penetrate at all. All one could see the deep and boundless void on both sides, quickly moving away.
Xiao Teng was very excited and felt that he had gained a lot this time. After the great changes in the world, his opportunities also came one after another, which made him feel that he was favored by the world.
At this speed, it would not be a dream for him to catch up with Jiang Lan, or even surpass him and step on him.
Boom!!!
At this moment, the space shook suddenly, and several people who were sitting cross-legged in the Star-Moon Boat were all awakened, and then their expressions changed drastically.
Xiao Teng even saw a small sword covered in a glowing light, piercing towards him at such a speed that he could not react in time.
He was controlling the Star-Moon Boat with his mind, so he could only grit his teeth to cut off the connection, and then take action to resist. Without the control of its owner, the Star-Moon Boat immediately fell from this space.
Among them, Lou Xinyu, Ye Shiyan and others all had cultivation skills and protected themselves to avoid getting hurt.
"Hehe, I found you after all. Hand over the Tianxuan Origin and I will spare your life today."
A cold voice came from the small sword covered by the rosy glow, and a hazy light emerged. A red-scaled dragon was perched on it, staring at Xiao Teng.
"Who are you?"
Xiao Teng was horrified and couldn't understand why he was being targeted, considering he had just left the Star Skeleton Secret Realm not long ago.
"My name is Chi Jiao. If you know what's good for you, just hand over the Tianxuan Origin. This kind of thing is not something a little fellow like you can keep."
The red-scaled dragon spoke. It was the soul of the old red dragon. It used its soul to control this rare treasure, and even consumed a lot of its blood and energy, before it was able to catch up with Xiao Teng. Otherwise, this guy might have escaped.
"I don't know what you are talking about. The origin of Tianxuan is not in my hands."
Xiao Teng would never admit it at this time.
"You are seeking death..."
The Taoist Chi Jiao's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he controlled the small sword to kill Xiao Teng.
He has already stepped half a foot into the eighth realm. To deal with a genius like Xiao Teng, he only needs one hand. However, he is now in the state of soul, so it is difficult for him to use his power.
But at this moment, the overwhelming terrifying pressure almost made Xiao Teng breathless.
The small sword with blazing glow was like a bright sun, illuminating the void and destroying everything.
Even a huge mountain would be reduced to ashes in an instant. This is the power of a half-step powerful being.
Even though Xiao Teng relied on many means, he was still sent flying in an instant, spitting out blood, with countless broken bones, and fell straight down from the sky.
"Young Master..."
All of Xiao Teng's men cried out in surprise, and then rushed forward to try to stop them. However, at the angry shout of Taoist Chi Jiao, they all coughed up blood and flew everywhere. Some of those with weaker cultivation were directly exploded, and blood splattered in the air.
"Junior brother..."
Lou Xinyu's face turned pale in an instant.
Ye Shiyan's expression was uncertain. She didn't know why Xiao Teng was targeted by such a strong man as soon as he left the Star Skeleton Secret Realm. "Master Chi Jiao, what do you mean?"
Just as Xiao Teng was flying and falling, an ancient jade on his chest glowed, and then a figure walked out. His Daluo Taoist robe fluttered, his hair was tied up with a jade crown, he had an elegant expression, and his face was shrouded in a hazy mist, as if he was standing in another time and space.
“Master…”
Xiao Teng saw blood in front of his eyes and couldn't help but shout out.
"Haha, it really is you, Ge Qixing. You are truly a genius. A mere junior, you have come this far. If you came in person, I would turn around and leave. But you are just an incarnation of divine consciousness, and you dare to stop me?" The Yuanshen of Taoist Chi Jiao made a disdainful voice, seeing through Ge Qixing's state.
“Even if you get the origin of Tianxuan, you can't keep it. It's not easy for you to practice until now and have such an accomplishment. If you leave now, I can pretend that this incident never happened. If you insist on snatching it, don't blame me for being ruthless.” Ge Qixing's divine incarnation spoke calmly, but with a will to dominate the world.
"Haha, you should first think about how to give an explanation to all the Taoist sects. You conceal the secrets of heaven and fool the world. I admire your method, Ge Qixing." Taoist Chijiao sneered.
Ge Qixing saw what he was thinking. He wanted to delay time and wait for his real body to arrive. By that time, he might not be able to do anything to him with just his divine consciousness incarnation, so he chose to take action immediately.
One man and one sword soon started a fierce battle in this nameless mountain range.
Ge Qixing is indeed one of the most powerful figures in the world. Just the incarnation of his divine consciousness has demonstrated his terrifying strength. With every step he takes, the void seems to be crushed by him. His hair is shining, like a star god patrolling the world.
No matter how the blazing little sword entangled him, it could not do anything to him. Instead, the Taoist Chi Jiao's soul became dimmer and dimmer, and he fell into a disadvantage.
“Let’s go…”
Xiao Teng's heart surged and he was secretly excited, but Ge Qixing's urging words rang out, with a hint of anxiety.
He reacted and was about to call a few people to drive away on the Star-Moon Boat.
The void shook violently again, and an astonishing aura came from the sky. A huge crack spread far away, and a slender figure stepped out from it. He was glowing all over, as if surrounded by fairy air. The hazy light enveloped his body, making it difficult to see clearly.
"The origin of Tianxuan is indeed not what you deserve. Xiao Teng, you should just hand it over honestly."
The moment he heard the voice, Xiao Teng's expression changed drastically. His teeth clenched and clenched tightly, and he asked, "Jiang Lan?"
Only those in the seventh realm can tear the void apart and cross it in this way.
But now Jiang Lan’s strength has exceeded his expectations. Just standing there, he is as majestic as a god, making people want to kneel down.
"Another person is coming? And a junior..."
At this time, a ball of crimson light quickly fell from the distance, and the soul of Taoist Chi Jiao, who was struggling with Ge Qixing, flew over and returned to his body.
The real body of Taoist Chi Jiao arrived. He looked at Jiang Lan in surprise. He had the means to track Xiao Teng, but he didn't expect that this young man also had it, and his movements were just a little slower than his.
What surprised him the most was Jiang Lan’s strength. Is this what the younger generation should be like?
"Haha, you guys are really quick."
Suddenly, laughter came from another direction.
A figure who seemed to be surrounded by a divine ring walked over, with golden light shining under his feet. It evolved into a road and landed over here. Thirty-six divine rings appeared behind his head, and each divine ring seemed to represent a Taoist method.
"Sir Lang Guyun of Qiongding Mountain?"
Taoist Chi Jiao recognized this man. There was no doubt that he was also at the seventh level of cultivation and was no less capable than him. Both of them were old fellows who had lived for hundreds of years.
"My name is Lang Guyun, and I have nothing to do with Qiongding Mountain anymore." The figure did not look old, but rather seemed to be in his thirties or forties.
He smiled upon hearing this, and said frankly that he had severed ties with the sect behind him. The implication was that the fight for the Seven Star Origin had nothing to do with the sect, and was his own idea.
When Xiao Teng saw this scene, his face changed again and again. Even if he reacted slowly, he understood that his news had leaked out, which attracted the world's attention and the fight for his Tianxuan origin.
"Jiang Lan..."
"Is it you?"
He stared at Jiang Lan who walked out of the void with hatred in his eyes, and his fists were clenched loudly.
Jiang Lan laughed and said, "Don't put all the blame on me. If I knew about this, why would I leak it out? If no one fights with me, do you think you can escape from my grasp?"
Feeling the strong contempt and casualness in Jiang Lan's words, Xiao Teng was even more unwilling.
The sixth realm and the seventh realm seem to be only one realm apart, but the disparity in strength and means is unimaginable. Even if he has extraordinary combat power in the same realm, he can never tear the void and cross it...
Facing Jiang Lan right now, he has no chance of competing.
And Jiang Lan's opponents are obviously no longer people of their age...
"Jiang Lan, as the Phoenix King of Great Xia, are you also planning to seize the origin of Tianxuan?" Ge Qixing's divine incarnation sighed.
"Why do you have to use your status to restrict me at this time, Imperial Master? You took advantage of Queen Xia's innocence and used her to block the sword, but why didn't you think about your own status?" Jiang Lan smiled faintly.
Ge Qixing narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that you are planning to vent your anger for His Majesty?"
"It's not that I'm venting my anger, I just feel that the origin of Tianxuan should belong to those with virtue. People like Xiao Teng who are immoral and deceive the emperor are not qualified to get the origin of Tianxuan." Jiang Lan still smiled faintly.
"Jiang Lan, stop making excuses for your ambition and greed. If you want to rob, just say so. Why are you making so many excuses..." Xiao Teng scolded.
Ge Qixing glanced at him and sighed in his heart. In terms of character, Xiao Teng was indeed very different from Jiang Lan in front of him. He got angry and irritated by just a few words.
"It's really lively. If it weren't for the emergence of Tianxuan Origin, I'm afraid I wouldn't see your familiar faces. Lang Guyun, the last time we met was more than 200 years ago, right?"
"You are still as charming as ever, but it's a pity that I already have one foot in the coffin."
A light coughing sound was heard, and a silver-haired old woman with a trembling gait walked towards them in the void, her face full of wrinkles and her back hunched.
There were many people following behind her, including many young faces, from the immortal gate Biyou Dongtian in Zhongtianzhou.
These young faces looked at Jiang Lan standing in the void, with expressions of shock and fear on their faces. It was hard to imagine that in such a situation, a young man would intervene.
Lang Guyun looked at her with a complicated expression, but he said nothing. The fairy who was once so beautiful and charming is now old and no longer as pretty as before...
“Hehe, Fairy Caiyun has mobilized all her forces this time. It seems that she is determined to obtain the origin of Tianxuan.” Taoist Chijiao sneered.
"I am about to die. With such a great opportunity in front of me, I have to fight for it and change my fate." The silver-haired old woman coughed, but her expression was very leisurely.
The Seven Star Origins have been born, and the rest of the origins are hidden very deeply. The inheritors will definitely not expose them easily without absolute strength and confidence.
In order to give it a try, these old guys will definitely focus all their thoughts and energy on revealing the origin of Tianxuan to the world.
Although many young people are paying close attention to the Star Skeleton Secret Realm this time, in fact, unless they get the full support of the Taoist masters behind them, they can't get their hands on the origin of Tianxuan. There are countless old guys watching them.
The younger generation is still the younger generation after all. No matter how dazzling they are, the world is still controlled by the older generation.
To put it bluntly, if an elixir of immortality were to be invented, the younger generation wouldn’t even be qualified to smell it.
