Chapter 228: The birth of the Demon Saint, the walking fruit of immortality, and Jiang Lan’s calamity?
The entrance to the Chaos Cave was deep and misty, like an abyss of a vast road, with starlight flowing in it. It seemed that big stars were falling, and there seemed to be one magnificent galaxy after another hanging down, which was far more vast and boundless than what could be seen.
"Welcome to the ancestors."
The creature standing quietly outside the cave entrance also exudes a very old aura, and even its clothes are not modern.
They were muttering to themselves, and were surrounded by a hazy glow, making them look like gods walking out of an ancient temple, very sacred.
Of course, they are not human beings. They have alien characteristics. Some look like dragons, some like crocodiles, and some have wings on their backs.
Among them, there was a young man in a white robe with a very handsome and simple appearance. He was a little thin, but his eyes were clear and energetic, and his black hair was smooth and translucent.
"Xue Wu, I didn't expect you were still alive..."
As the vicissitudes of life will revived, an ancient voice with a hint of emotion also echoed at the entrance of the cave, like the sound of the Tao, sacred and vast, causing ripples in the void.
There is a sacred and brilliant scene between heaven and earth, with golden lotuses blooming and the order of heaven and earth falling down, interweaving into a lotus road.
The next moment, silently, an old man in a gray robe with torn corners appeared on the lotus on the avenue.
As soon as he appeared, the world became colorful, with thousands of rays of light and auspicious colors.
All the spiritual birds and auspicious beasts within a thousand miles knelt down towards this place. The dry old trees blossomed with vitality and sprouted fresh green buds. Clear and delicious springs also emerged from the dried-up rivers.
Except for the young man in white robe, all the other creatures at the entrance of Chaos Cave knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, calling him "Ancestor".
"I'm afraid you're the only one who can remember me in this world."
"But now I'm no longer called Xue Wu. I'm called Xue Wu Chen now."
The young man in white robe looked at the old man in gray robe who appeared in front of him with a smile on his face.
The gray-robed old man had a shriveled face and sunken eye sockets, but his eyes were bright, like two deep magic lamps. Under his messy hair, there was a pair of somewhat broken horns.
"So you have achieved the state of reincarnation? I feel that your aura has become much weaker, not even at the Jieqiao realm."
The old man in gray robe stared at Xue Wuchen for a moment, as if he was thinking about something.
"This is just an incarnation of my source blood. Don't try to take advantage of me. I came to you only to ask you to fulfill a favor you owe me. If this cause and effect is not resolved, you will only die with regret and end your life. It will be impossible for you to make any further progress."
Xue Wuchen waved his hand calmly and directly, not worrying that the gray-robed old man in front of him would see through his current physical nature.
"Haha, favor? That's right, I still owe you a favor. If it weren't for your help in the ruins outside the domain, I would have been swallowed up by the ruins soul." The gray-robed old man smiled, his eyes becoming somewhat vicissitudes of life.
The four incredible places in the world, the ruins, the burial sea, the yang abyss, and the Yin abyss, each contain dangers that can cause the saints to lose their lives.
The life span of a saint is no more than ten thousand years, but he has lived for more than ten thousand years. The reason for this is that he obtained a magical object containing longevity substances that could prolong life in the ruins.
Thousands of years later, the Blood Immortal ancestor Xue Wu appeared out of nowhere and almost unified the land of Kyushu.
At that time, he was sleeping in the Burial Heaven Cave to slow down the loss of qi and blood. He suddenly woke up and the two had a battle.
However, he had once fought a powerful enemy and suffered irreparable injuries. His cultivation strength was no longer at its peak, so he was defeated by the Blood Immortal Ancestor.
The Blood Immortal Ancestor, who was in his peak state, did not make things difficult for him. The two of them then joined forces to travel to some dangerous places outside the domain. They schemed against each other and ended an inexplicable cause and effect.
"The world will undergo a great change. If you continue to sleep, you may miss the greatest fortune of this life. I have an unparalleled opportunity to tell you right now."
Xue Wuchen stood in front of the entrance of the Chaos Cave, his black hair blown by the mountain breeze, his eyes looked very clear, yet wise and profound, and he spoke.
The old man in gray robe is the master of the Burial Heaven Cave. His real name is no longer known, and people are more accustomed to calling him the Demon Saint.
In Dongyuan Prefecture, the Burial Heaven Cave is the holy land in the eyes of the demons.
No matter how long and profound the foundation of other holy places is, they dare not offend the Burial Heaven Cave. The biggest reason is that the owner of the Burial Heaven Cave had appeared in the world thousands of years ago and was a real saint.
Of course, Dongyuan Prefecture has been in chaos and turmoil for a long time, with various Taoist sects and immortal sects entrenched and wars never ending. But no matter which force it is, they all respect the Burial Heaven Cave on the surface.
"Supreme destiny?"
The Demon Saint did not respond when he heard this, but simply closed his deep and turbid eyes, feeling the changes between heaven and earth.
After a moment, his eyes suddenly opened, and a brilliant golden light flashed in them.
"I have figured out what it is."
He spoke calmly, his eyes became deep, completely different from the cloudy look just now.
"If the holy land of Dongyuanzhou wants to take over Zhongtianzhou, you must come forward."
"There is a saint in the Taiyi Sect of Zhongtian Province, and Xiling Province and Dongyuan Province have not made any movement. I have a feeling that within three months, the heaven and earth will send down supreme fortune. It is possible that your broken body will be able to make further progress and extend your life by thousands of years."
"If we don't take action now, it may be too late." Xue Wuchen fluttered his robe and spoke eloquently.
The demon saint nodded, but his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he said, "This is a great change that has never happened before, but I didn't feel anything while I was sleeping. Could it be that the saint of Taiyi Sect is plotting a big game and wants to reap all the benefits?"
Xue Wuchen said noncommittally, "There has always been an old feud between you and Taiyi Sect. Your incurable injury was caused by the saint of Taiyi Sect. However, that saint has long passed away, but you have survived to this day. It is normal for the saint of Taiyi Sect to plot against you."
"Let's not talk about what you want me to do for now. I have a cause and effect that I need to settle with Taiyi Sect first."
"Heaven and earth helped me. I felt something the day I woke up. It seems that I need to get rid of this long-standing resentment, reshape my state of mind, and reach the peak again."
The Demon Saint spoke indifferently, and suddenly a domineering aura like swallowing the sky emerged from his body, and his eyes were like two dazzling blood-red suns.
As he spoke, he took a step forward and disappeared at the entrance of the Chaos Cave. Then he opened his mouth wide. In an instant, the sky and the earth turned dark. The rolling essence of heaven and earth fell from outside the domain and transformed into a magnificent and vast galaxy, converging towards him.
This was an extremely shocking scene.
In the outer world, accompanied by a loud bang, a star field dried up in an instant. The life essence of each star fluttered into the sky, quickly desolate, gathered there, and then turned into billowing smoke, continuously rushing towards the Demon Saint.
Countless essences of heaven and earth, and the rhythm of Taoism, gathered together and were all added to one person.
In the vast land of Dongyuan Province, many Taoist holy places, national sects, and countless cultivators and living beings all noticed this scene and were all shocked and speechless.
"Could this noise be coming from the Burial Heaven Cave?"
"Could it be that the demon saint has been born?"
In an ancient and splendid country, on the magnificent wall of the imperial palace, a tall and strong man in imperial robes stood there, with flying hair and deep eyes, gazing into a distant land.
Beside him, stood an old eunuch, the jade talisman in his hand kept flashing, and messages were transmitted to him.
"Your Majesty, news has come from Zhongtianzhou that Taiyi Sect's Saint Jiang Lan is about to break through the eighth realm and is now going through the tribulation."
"The place where he underwent the tribulation was outside the capital of Daxia, and he has not returned to Taiyi Sect. According to the information reported by spies, he could no longer suppress his power, so he was forced to undergo the tribulation outside the capital." The old eunuch reported.
The tall and majestic man in the imperial robe had deep eyes and clenched fists. He said hatefully, "Zhenwu died tragically at the hands of this boy, and even his inheritance was taken away. Our Zhenwu nation and Taiyi sect have an irreconcilable feud. This boy's cultivation strength is simply unimaginable. It hasn't been long since he passed the Eight Realms Tribulation."
"But this calamity of the Eight Realms is not so easy to overcome. People are murderous, the world is turned upside down, and the Demon Saint is born today. It seems that the heavens are going to take him away."
"This is also a good opportunity for our Zhenwu Nation to march into Zhongtian Province. Give orders to mobilize the army and warships, open up a channel to break through the domain, and be ready at any time. Also, go to the national treasury and send those 80,000-year-old divine medicines to the Burial Heaven Cave. We must make sure that the Demon Saint can recover to his peak in the shortest possible time."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The old eunuch's face changed. He heard endless murderous intent, anger, and determination in the words of Emperor Zhenwu.
Zhou Zhenwu was his most beloved and respected son, and was known as the Young Emperor. If nothing unexpected happened, he would surely become a saint in the future.
But he died in Zhongtianzhou, and his body is still warm to this day.
Despite such a deep hatred, the Zhenwu Kingdom did not dare to retaliate, fearing the power of the Taiyi Sect and Li Sheng, who was at the peak of his power.
For this reason, Emperor Zhenwu has been suppressing his anger for who knows how long.
Recently, some of the back-up pawns stationed in the capital of Daxia were also removed, and it is unknown how deep the new and old grudges between the two sides have accumulated.
"It looks like the Demon Saint is planning to take action. He has been waiting for this day."
"We were driven out of Zhongtianzhou like a lost dog. Now we have rested for thousands of years. It is time to regroup, beat the drums, and fight our way back."
Soon, other ancient Taoist holy places in Dongyuan Prefecture, such as the Wangyue Ancient Sect, the Yinxu Holy Religion, and the Chongming Demon Sect, all received relevant news.
Messages and orders were quickly transmitted through magnificent palaces and into the void.
With the birth of the Demon Saint, the entire Dongyuan Province began to boil and riot.
The holy places of various sects are ready to make a move. Among many sects, brilliant portals are emerging. Teams of well-trained warriors are rushing out. On the wild land, smoke of war is rising into the sky. There are also some hidden ethnic groups and forces that are gearing up for action.
Outside the Burial Heaven Cave, the rolling waves of life fell from the sky and gathered together.
The Demon Saint stood quietly under the sky, opened his mouth wide to absorb, and his slightly old body instantly became upright, his black hair became thick and long, his eyes were bright with divine light, and his hair was shining with amazing divine light. His broken and damaged horns healed, and their edges were amazing, as if shrouded in a layer of blood-like mist, as if a god had descended between heaven and earth.
"What's going on?" Xue Wuchen was very surprised when he saw this scene.
"Haha, there is no saintly aura in Zhongtian Province now. That Saint Li is no longer in Zhongtian Province. You are all scared. After becoming a saint, no one can avoid going outside the region to explore."
"I don't know where he is trapped now. He has no time to care about the affairs of Zhongtianzhou. No wonder he tried to cover up the secrets of the heaven and prevent me from waking up."
The demon saint explained with cold eyes.
He stretched out his big hand, and the entrance of the chaotic cave shook again. A brilliant colorful light flew over and turned into a thick spear. He held it in his hand. The spear head was icy cold and filled with a green light, which was extremely terrifying.
"Even the holy soldiers have appeared? It seems that you are planning to take real action?" Xue Wuchen was surprised.
The Demon Saint said coldly, "The changes in Zhongtianzhou are unpredictable. Now, there is a demon that has never appeared in ancient and modern times who is undergoing a tribulation. The luck and blessings on him are as rich as a mature medicine of heaven and earth. No, it should be the fruit of immortality. I even suspect that as long as I swallow him, not only will my long-term injuries be healed, but I can also go one step further and enter the realm of the Great Saint in one fell swoop."
Xue Wuchen was startled for a moment, then reacted, with a look of shock and disbelief in his eyes, no longer as calm as before, and asked anxiously, "You mean someone is going through the eighth level of heavenly tribulation, or the heavenly tribulation of a saint's ascension?"
The demon saint replied, "It is indeed an eight-level heavenly tribulation that has never been seen before. This boy and I have a lot of causal entanglements. I believe he has a deep connection with the Taiyi Sect."
Xue Wuchen had already guessed who was transcending the tribulation, but his expression was still somewhat incredulous, and he murmured, "How is this possible? Could this guy really be the future Heavenly Emperor? His cultivation speed is too incredible."
"Do you know this person?" The Demon Saint looked at him.
Xue Wuchen said, "I suspect that this guy has plotted against me, but I don't have any evidence yet, I just have some guesses..."
At this point, his face darkened, and he looked at the Demon Saint and said again, "This boy may very well be the future Heavenly Emperor. If you want to take action against him, you'd better think carefully first and don't fall into his trap. Since Li Sheng has left Zhongtianzhou, it is impossible that he has left no means to protect this boy."
The demon saint snorted coldly and said, "When I became a saint, I didn't know where Li Saint was. If he can intimidate me with just the tricks he left, then I'd just avoid him when I see him in the future. I won't pursue a higher realm in this life. I'm hesitant and timid. How can I get to this point?"
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Xue Wuchen sighed and said no more, but his brows were still tightly furrowed.
Jiang Lan was actually already undergoing the eighth level of heavenly tribulation, and there was no news of it before.
"I also wanted the Demon Saint to help me reshape the Holy Spirit Embryo, and capture that kid Ye Ming and take back the Blood Forbidden Scripture. Now it seems that I can only put it aside for now."
"If it was really Jiang Lan's trick, perhaps Ye Ming has already fallen into his hands..."
Xue Wuchen's expression changed from gloomy to bright.
The news that Jiang Lan, the saint son of Taiyi Sect, survived the tribulation in the deep mountains three thousand miles away from the capital of Daxia quickly spread throughout the land of Jiuzhou, causing an uproar.
The impact of this incident exceeded any previous incident. Even the many immortal sects in Zhongtianzhou called back many elders and disciples to discuss how to deal with it.
These include the Biyou Dongtian, the Wendao Ancient School, the Yijian Sect and other forces that have conflicts with the Taiyi Sect.
Since Jiang Lan was born, he has been like a rising bright sun, illuminating the ancient and modern land, and overwhelming his peers.
His speed of cultivation has broken countless records.
As soon as he entered the seventh realm, he could easily suppress the cultivators who were half a step into the eighth realm. Countless cultivators called him the future Heavenly Emperor.
This shows his terrifying talent and strength.
Now, if he successfully breaks through the eighth realm and becomes one of the powerful ones, how many people in the land of Jiuzhou can be his rivals?
He was truly on the road to becoming invincible in the world.
In this case, how can those forces that have offended him and have grudges against him sleep well?
The incident caused such a sensation that it spread quickly to all directions in less than a day.
Countless monks and living beings are watching closely. Some are excited and respectful, while many are cursing, jealous, disgusted, frightened, and wishing he could break through.
Taiyi Sect, Holy Maiden Peak, a flash of light, fluttering clothes, a slender and graceful figure, as clear and cold as ice, appeared from the stone chamber.
Li Mengning pursed her red lips under her veil and looked into the distance in the direction of the Great Xia capital. Then, ignoring the screams of the maids on the mountain, she tore open the void with her delicate jade hands and stepped into it.
After digesting the inheritance of the Saint of Taiyi Sect, her cultivation broke through to the seventh level. She was able to tear through the void and travel through it.
In the back hills of Yaowang Valley, in a quiet and deserted courtyard full of green bamboos, a mute girl was pounding medicine. Beside her, facing the window, a dignified, beautiful, gentle and elegant woman frowned and looked into the distance with worry in her eyes. She murmured, "What a mess..."
"Xiaoya, go ask the elders to prepare the chariot. I need to go out for a while."
After a moment, she stood up, put on her outer coat, and gave instructions to the mute girl who was pounding medicine.
In the far east of Dongyuan Prefecture, on a towering mountain, a man covered in golden light sat quietly, as bright and dazzling as a bright tomorrow, and whispered, "Young Master is the future Heavenly Emperor. This catastrophe is nothing but smoke and clouds for you. I don't need to worry about you. According to what you said, my destiny is at the top of this Hexu."
"Young Master..."
"Please forgive me for not being able to arrive in time to protect you."
On an unnamed island somewhere in the North Sea, a figure covered with long red hair, like an ape, suddenly had two rays of divine light burst out from his eyes.
Deep in the Southern Wilderness Province, in the Barbarian Valley, in the barbarian royal court.
The man named Shenci sat quietly in the hall. In front of him, a deep Hunyuan bead was floating up and down, emitting wisps of heavy and chaotic barbaric energy.
Below it, a group of burly barbarian masters sat cross-legged, inhaling and exhaling the barbarian energy that dripped down from their heads. Suddenly, a crackling sound came from their bodies, and their bones and flesh were changing, becoming even stronger and more powerful.
"The Eighth Realm Heavenly Tribulation is really fast. Even I don't dare to break through so openly."
"I want to see how you, the future Heavenly Emperor, will face this disaster. Dongyuanzhou will not let go of such a good opportunity."
Shenci's eyes were deep, with a trace of vicissitudes flowing through them. He sighed, and then raised his hand and waved it. The Barbarian God Pearl in front of him circulated, and orders flew out one after another, tearing through the space with a roar, and were transmitted to the major tribes of the barbarians.
Daxia, Linjiang County, Yangchun City.
In a pavilion with quiet scenery, pine, cypress, sycamore, bamboo, and a small bridge and flowing water.
Two figures are playing chess.
"Ms. Mingyu, how do you think I can recruit Jiang Lan to serve me?"
Among them, the handsome man with tied hair and wearing a gray cotton robe said a word and asked.
Opposite him, there was a handsome young man with fair complexion, wearing a loose moon-white robe, with picturesque eyebrows and features, his hair tied up in a crown, and two maids holding zithers stood quietly behind him.
"Brother Qingxuan's appetite is getting bigger and bigger. He even wants to recruit Jiang Lan for his own use? Aren't you afraid of backlash?" The woman with picturesque eyebrows smiled gently and did not comment on this question.
"The emperor should control his subordinates and people. If he can help Xia Junxi, he can naturally help me as long as he is given enough benefits." The man in the gray cotton robe was Qi Qingxuan.
He made another move, his face showing a long-cultivated nobility and indifference.
"Jiang Lan is called the future Emperor of Heaven, and Brother Qingxuan, you can only be regarded as the master of the human world. Logically speaking, you should be submissive to him." Shang Mingyu pursed his lips and smiled.
It might be Er Yang, I have a headache, fever and keep coughing. This chapter is really not written smoothly, and the number of words is a little short, please forgive me...
