The remnant soul said respectfully, "Yes."
Xuan Lingzi looked at the blood-red light, pondered for a long time, and finally wiped away some of the things in the red light with his hand. Then he walked to Luo Jianqing's side.
The young man's handsome face was covered with sweat, but his breathing was steady and he had obviously fallen asleep.
Xuan Lingzi watched silently for a long moment before sighing softly. He pointed a finger at Luo Jianqing's forehead and, just as he had done with Li Xiuchen, removed a beam of white light. His movements were extremely gentle, and Luo Jianqing only groaned, with no other reaction.
The next moment, Xuan Lingzi suddenly disappeared. A ray of golden light penetrated the barrier of the ruins and flew towards Taihua Mountain, and finally disappeared in the mountain protection formation of Taihua Mountain.
Mount Taihua, Cangshuang Peak.
A grand and majestic hall stood atop Cangshuang Peak, overlooking the entire mountain and emanating a sense of righteousness. Within this hall, a white-haired old man sat upright on a cushion in meditation.
In front of him were four layers of natal lamps. There were dozens of lamps on the fourth layer, six lamps on the third layer, only two lamps left on the second layer, and on the top layer, there was only a single golden natal lamp flickering with light.
Taihua Mountain's head, Hao Xingzi, closed his eyes and meditated. At that moment, the golden natal lamp atop the mountain suddenly dimmed. Hao Xingzi opened his eyes, staring at the scene in horror, and whispered in shock, "Junior Brother Xuan Lingzi?!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Hao Xingzi turned into a white light and flew towards Yuxiao Peak in the center of Taihua Mountain.
In the Yitian Mountains, hundreds of miles away from Taihua Mountain, the disciples of Taihua Mountain and Yitian Sect are still undergoing brutal training.
The demonic beasts in the Wanzhang Wasteland were countless. The cultivators of Mount Taihua had been sent by their masters to fight in the Myriad Beast Ridge since childhood, and they had extensive combat experience. However, the disciples of the Yitian Sect were different. Most of them lacked sufficient physique and combat experience, and many had already shattered the jade tokens and left the ruins.
So when they finally got out of the Ten Thousand Feet Wasteland, there were still fifteen people left in Taihua Mountain, but only two people were left in Yitian Sect.
The group of seventeen people met in the sixth level. Strangely, they waited for a long time in this level, but there was only darkness, as if nothing existed, which made them confused.
In the seventh level, Tianshu Pass, Luo Jianqing moved his fingers slightly and slowly woke up.
After just experiencing a battle with the fox demon to take over his body, Luo Jianqing's spiritual power had already been exhausted. He didn't even have the strength to get up. He could only open his eyes and see Li Xiuchen lying in the corner, covered in blood.
Luo Jianqing narrowed his eyes, but before he could react, he suddenly sensed a strange aura. He turned around and saw a vague shadow floating in front of the futon, head bowed and silent.
Luo Jianqing opened his eyes wide, ready to take out the green bamboo umbrella from his storage ring, only to hear the remnant soul whisper, "The training is over, you failed."
As soon as the voice fell, a white light flashed on Li Xiuchen's body, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the ruins.
Luo Jianqing stared at the scene in a daze, seemingly confused as to what had happened. He had merely battled the Phantom Fox for a long time before passing out. How could a ghost suddenly reappear upon opening his eyes? Li Xiuchen also seemed seriously injured?
Luo Jianqing summoned the spiritual power that had just recovered and was wary of his surroundings.
The hoarse voice of the remnant soul sounded: "You have passed through my ruins. Now I will hand over my three magic weapons to you."
After a pause, a look of resentment appeared on the remnant soul's face. "Humans and demons cannot coexist. I will destroy the demon race! I, Beidou Zhenjun, have been on the battlefield for many years, single-handedly slaying tens of thousands of demon beasts. Between humans and demons, it's either you die or I die! These three magic weapons are most sensitive to demon beasts and can help you slay demons and monsters."
Three white lights appeared in front of Luo Jianqing.
In response to this, Luo Jianqing: "..."
...So, what happened?
The remnant soul didn't finish his words, he continued: "Here, there is also a secret manual of mine, which I will also give to you."
This time, the remnant soul spoke simply, without any further nonsense. A blood-red light flew straight in front of Luo Jianqing. At this moment, Luo Jianqing had recovered 30% of his spiritual power. He raised his hand and grabbed the red light.
It was a blood-red jade plaque, only the size of a palm, yet it seemed to be condensed from blood, its color vibrant and dazzling. Holding it in one's hand felt as if it would burn one's hand. Even as it calmly waited for its owner to read it, a powerful pressure emanated from the jade plaque, causing the air to stagnate.
Luo Jianqing frowned, turned to look at the remnant soul, and said: "Senior, I don't know this..."
The voice stopped abruptly. Under Luo Jianqing's surprised gaze, the remnant soul raised its head blankly, and its body turned into countless white dots, gradually disappearing in the stone chamber. Only a low, hoarse voice continued to echo for a long time.
"Is it a human... or a demon?"
This voice is mixed with obsession and regret that transcends time.
Since the residual soul had disappeared, Luo Jianqing had no other choice but to look at the four items he had obtained. Among the three items in the white light, one was a ground-level magic weapon, and two were Xuan-level magic weapons. Although they were all quite precious, they were also within the reach of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Only this blood-red jade token made Luo Jianqing extremely confused.
The terrifying aura emanating from the jade token seemed to penetrate the ancient times and attack him.
Could it be that the True Lord of Beidou really has such great fortune that he can not only set up this terrifying Big Dipper formation, but also obtain such a terrifying jade token?
After hesitating for a long time, Luo Jianqing still emitted a little spiritual consciousness and penetrated into the jade token.
In an instant, a shocking and oppressive sound rang in his ears—
"Seize the endless years, seize the vast earth; seize the lives of all things, seize the creation of heaven and earth. Seize humans, seize monsters, seize the way of heaven. This thing is called the Nine..." The voice suddenly stopped. After a moment, the voice continued: "This thing is called, 'Nine Seizures of Heaven'."
