Battle space, deep underground.
In the blinding darkness, a few dim stars appeared.
Afterwards, hot galaxies emerged, the mysteries of heaven evolved, and the heavens and space were reversed, forming a small universe.
In the void, Long Yuchuan trembled, looking at his two former friends controlling the endless stars.
They are now inside a bell, called the Chaos Bell.
"I said...what are your backgrounds..."
Dragon Fish River didn't dare to move, for fear of falling into the void and being wiped out in ashes.
"us?"
The two monsters from Da Luo Jin Fairyland were dressed in imperial clothes and wore crowns of heaven and earth. They turned their heads to look at Longyuchuan with exactly the same faces and movements.
Long Yuchuan wanted to cry but had no tears. As soon as Taozu issued the decree that day, the two friends who were chewing coral together changed.
As his cultivation level continued to rise, he became incomparably stronger, and his appearance changed, even becoming exactly the same, with a divine appearance and an extraordinary demeanor.
Then, he was hidden in this bell and brought here, and learned everything through the illusory futon that appeared in front of him.
He is a human immortal and wants to compete with a group of Daluo Golden Immortals for the chance of becoming a saint.
Ryukawa thought this was a dream.
Above the galaxy, the figures of the two monsters began to become illusory, and the stars in the sky burst into brilliant light.
Then, surrounded by the stars, they merged together and became one person. Their cultivation improved again, and the majestic demonic power shook the universe.
When his breath stabilized, he flew in front of Long Yuchuan, his majestic expression softened a little, and he said softly:
"I am Taiyi."
"And you are my brother, Di Jun."
Ryukawa took a breath, rolled his eyes, and fainted on the spot.
Taiyi looked sad, and the blazing golden light in his eyes dimmed a lot, and said to himself:
"Brother, after thousands of reincarnations, you have been completely lost."
In the Lich War that year, Di Jun was the first to die in the battle because he lost Hetu Luoshu.
And he also controlled the Chaos Bell and perished with his enemies.
But the Chaos Bell is one of the innate treasures, an existence equal to the Tai Chi Diagram, which preserved his true spirit.
He wanted to escape into chaos, but was stopped by Dao Ancestor.
Taiyi couldn't understand why Daozu reshaped his body, split him in two, sealed his cultivation and memory, and threw him into the North Sea.
That day, with the decree of the Taoist Patriarch, his seal was instantly released and he knew who he was.
Later, he even recognized the true identity of his friend Long Yuchuan - his brother Di Jun who was lost in reincarnation.
Taiyi felt the power in his body. Although it was not as good as before, as time passed, he could return to his peak.
He is covered by the Chaos Bell, so he can be familiar with the power unscrupulously, and no one from the outside world can find his traces.
"Why would Daozu help me?"
Taiyi's handsome face was as dazzling as the sun, and his brows were slightly furrowed. He couldn't figure out what it meant for Dao Zu to break his seal at this time.
But he also knew that now he was Dao Ancestor's pawn. It could restore his strength, but it could also easily destroy him physically and mentally.
Since the decree I heard is to compete for the top three, I can only compete for the top three.
"The world has changed so much that we have no control over it."
Taiyi sighed softly and tapped Ryukawa's eyebrows with his fingers.
The next moment, Ryukawa opened his eyes suddenly, gasping for air and covered in cold sweat.
Taiyi saw this and said with concern:
"Brother, have you remembered?"
Ryukawa stared at Taiyi blankly, and after recovering, he said:
"Brother, the sun is gone early. Did you go crazy chewing coral?"
The cultivation of the two friends suddenly changed from human immortals to Daluo Jinxian, and now they merged into one, claiming to be the leader of the ancient demon clan, Donghuang Taiyi.
He was even said to be Emperor Jun.
These words were beyond Ryukawa's cognition and were shocking. He did not dare to believe them and would not believe them.
Suddenly, Ryukawa stared at Taiyi blankly, as if he was recalling something.
Taiyi couldn't help but look forward to it when he saw him like this.
After a moment, Ryukawa hugged Taiyi and said with a smile:
"I told you that black coral is poisonous, but you didn't listen. Now it's better. You'll be hallucinating after eating it."
"Since it's an illusion, it makes sense for you two to merge. After all, I've always thought that you two are a couple and do everything together."
"I am very open-minded. Although you are against secular ethics, brother, I will definitely support you!"
Ryukawa looked at the surrounding starry sky, nodded and said:
"Not bad, not bad, quite real."
He thought about it for a while, with an extremely vulgar smile on his face, and said lightly to Taiyi:
"If we can control the illusion, we can collect black coral and sell it outside. Anyway, only the three of us know the location. It's a sure-profit business."
Taiyi's divine consciousness swept through Di Jun's true soul, exploring his brother's memory for the eleventh time.
Just like the previous ten times, everything about Long Yuchuan as an emperor has been wiped out by the long river of time, and he has no connection with the former demon emperor.
After exploring it a few more times without giving up, Taiyi fell into silence.
Seeing that Taiyi did not refute him, Ryukawa breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:
"I just said it was a hallucination. It seems that I have been poisoned for a long time. Daozu has issued an order to thank guests behind closed doors a while ago. How could he order to open the door to preach again?"
After being speechless for a long time, Taiyi looked at Ryukawa and said calmly:
"Beihai is boring, let's just have fun in the hallucination."
Ryukawa looked happy, let go of Taiyi, and said happily:
"Yes! I was either eating coral all day long or on the way to eat coral. I was almost suffocated!"
But after saying that, he looked solemn again and cursed:
"Damn, why am I still a fairy in the hallucination?"
"Even if you are Daluo Jinxian, we can't defeat those strong men who have been famous for a long time."
Taiyi, who decided to accompany Ryukawa to act out the scene, said calmly:
"There are only three people who threaten us."
When Ryukawa saw Tai's serious expression, he laughed and said:
"Hey, do you really think of yourself as Donghuang Taiyi?"
"Which three, tell me quickly."
Taiyi explained while awakening the Chaos Clock that had been dormant for many years:
"Kong Xuan, Minghe, Zhen Yuanzi."
He channeled the power of the Chaos Bell, awakened his Golden Crow origin, and continued:
"Chaos bloodline is rejected by Heaven. In today's extremely perfect situation, Kong Xuan, who has Chaos bloodline, can still cultivate to such a state, which shows how terrifying his qualifications are. And I saw him back then. Although he hid it very well, I also discovered that he is already a quasi-sage. He has been here for so long and should not be underestimated."
"Styx is also an innate power and strong. Not only does he possess the sea of netherworld blood transformed from the tainted blood of Pangu Father God, he also uses the sea of blood to develop supreme magical powers. Even if he has not become a saint, it is not much different. Come to think of it, It only takes one chance of becoming a saint to realize the Hunyuan Dao."
"Zhen Yuanzi created the realm of Earthly Immortality uniquely, allowing the Earthly Way to occupy a position in the realm of Heavenly Way cultivation. The writings in the palm of his hand provide endless defense, and the Taoism is vast and extremely difficult to deal with."
After hearing this, Long Yuchuan slightly twitched the corner of his mouth and said:
"Then what do we have?"
Taiyi had a relaxed expression and said:
"There is a Chaos Clock."
He is completely familiar with the current power, and has controlled the Chaos Bell for a long time. Even if the demon clan declines, there is no trace of despair in his eyes.
In terms of heels and feet, he was conceived from the sun star transformed from Pangu's left eye.
In terms of magic weapons, the Chaos Bell is his companion magic weapon. It is one of the three innate treasures. It has the power to suppress the world, the ability to reverse the universe, infinite mystery, and endless creation.
He has been the master of the Chaos Clock since his birth, and can maximize the power of this treasure.
Taiyi decided to take the top three positions.
After resurrecting his life, his mentality changed a little.
In the past, the path he took was to prove the Tao through force.
Now, he feels that as long as he can become a saint, that will be enough.
The wilderness is no longer what it used to be. Only by walking that road yourself can you know how difficult it is.
At this time, Long Yuchuan suddenly thought of something and became excited and said:
"I wonder if the Jade Emperor is here?"
When Taiyi heard this name, a coldness flashed in his eyes and he said:
"Haotian? This thing is inferior to trash, but he doesn't even have the intention to resist, and allows Yuan Feng to destroy Heavenly Court."
The fact that Yuan Feng destroyed the Heavenly Court has been widely spread throughout the world. Even in a remote place like Beihai, monsters are still discussing it.
Taiyi naturally has new memories generated when he was sealed.
"I didn't expect that a guy like this could call himself the Emperor of Heaven."
He said to Ryukawa:
"Brother, the top three positions are up for grabs, but Haotian dares to impersonate your title. Let's kill him out of this space first."
"Is it okay to...find someone else first?"
Hearing this, Long Yuchuan's face felt a little unnatural. Although he wanted to vent his anger in the hallucination, he used to be an errand in heaven and was very afraid of Haotian. Even if it was a hallucination now, he was afraid of appearing in Haotian's eyes.
Having kowtowed to Heaven all year round made him fear and fear Haotian in his heart.
When Taiyi saw the former Emperor of Heaven being frightened into such a state by the current Emperor of Heaven, he became even more angry and said angrily:
"Just look for Haotian, let alone this battlefield space. After Daozu finished speaking, I will kill him and destroy him physically and mentally!"
Having said that, he made the dragon fish river in the fairyland fall into a deep sleep, hid in a sun in the chaos, and used his own origin to awaken his origin.
After doing all this, Taiyi left the Chaos Clock, appeared on the surface, and took it with him to search for Haotian.
…
"Is Styx hiding?"
Kong Xuan stepped on a piece of sand, looking puzzled.
Baiyao smiled and said:
"He's not here to get magic weapons. He will definitely hide it and wait until the final showdown."
"I'm afraid you are the only one looking for someone in the world."
After pondering for a moment, he asked:
"Brother Kong, can you master Yuantu Abi's two swords?"
Kong Xuan was also a little unsure and said:
"If it is really a sword that manifests the killing path, you will only know if you try it. After all, I have never encountered such an ethereal thing as the path."
He kept searching in the desert and suddenly looked in one direction.
Then he smiled and said:
"Can we meet here too?"
"boom--"
He revealed his body and appeared above a depression in the blink of an eye.
The majestic pressure fell from the sky, and a poisonous scorpion hundreds of meters long was instantly shaken out. It was unable to become invisible and struggled painfully in the depression.
Kong Xuan landed in front of it and said doubtfully:
"You didn't look carefully outside Zixiao Palace. Didn't you expect someone like you could come in?"
Poisonous Scorpion recognized him and quickly begged for mercy:
"Master Kong, let me hide for a while longer~"
Baiyao saw it was a poisonous scorpion and asked:
"Is this the ancient poisonous scorpion you mentioned last time that after a friendly discussion with it, it gave you all its original venom?"
"That's right, I didn't expect this guy to come outside Zixiao Palace. It was really unexpected. I thought it would have to rest for thousands of years before it could move."
After Kong Xuan answered Baiyao, he looked at Poisonous Scorpion with a sneer and said:
"The foundation is quite rich, and it has been able to make up for its origins in such a short period of time."
"That's fine, it saves me the time to find other poisons."
With a thought, the five-color divine light turned into a light rope, tied the poisonous scorpion into a huge rice dumpling, and asked with a smile:
"Like last time, do you voluntarily let me extract the original venom, or do you voluntarily give me the original venom?"
Poisonous Scorpion complained endlessly, wondering how he would meet this damned evil thief.
But after feeling the divine light binding it tighter and tighter, it quickly shouted:
"Young man, I will give it voluntarily! Grandpa Kong, please let me stay in this world for a little longer!"
It doesn't expect the first three positions, but if it can stay a little longer, it can get closer to Dao Ancestor.
Kong Xuan withdrew the five-color divine light and said coldly:
"You know the truth."
I saw the poisonous scorpion's whole body light up, and finally the light gathered at its tail.
Then, a group of dark black liquid exuding a strange fragrance condensed from its poisonous needle.
Its breath became extremely weak, and it collapsed in the sand, saying in a hoarse voice:
"Master, there is really not a drop left..."
Kong Xuan took the venom in front of him, observed it for a moment, and said doubtfully:
"Why is the quality better than last time? Did you fool me last time?"
After that, he was about to take action against the poisonous scorpion.
When the poisonous scorpion saw this, he cried and howled:
"Master, listen to my explanation! After you left last time, Shen Gongbao, a disciple of Chan's teaching, came to me and said that as long as I get on the list of gods that can protect the true soul after death, Chan's teaching will not only supplement my origin, but also grant me the skills of a saint. Dharma, help me improve my cultivation..."
Baiyao:?
Kong Xuan frowned and said:
"Explain the teachings?"
"How dare you, little one, hide this from Master Kong..."
Poisonous Scorpion kept crying and told Kong Xuan all his experiences.
After hearing this, Baiyao said to Kong Xuan:
"Brother Kong, you can let this poisonous scorpion work as an undercover agent."
Kong Xuan pondered for a moment and asked:
"This beast has no backbone at all. Can he be an undercover agent? What if false information is sent back..."
Baiyao smiled and said:
"We don't need the information of Chanjiao, but Chanjiao definitely needs our information."
Venomous Scorpion explained everything.
It was brought to Zixiao Palace by the disciples of Chanjiao.
Chanjiao has a stronghold in Xiqi, but it doesn't know where it is.
Chanjiao is recruiting troops, and the twelve immortals, except Guangchengzi, are generally running around outside.
Baiyao had expected this, but he didn't expect that Chanjiao would actually use the Conferred Gods List to recruit strong people.
This poisonous scorpion thinks that it has the support of a saint. After it goes out, it may tell Chanjiao what is happening now, or maybe Chanjiao has a way to know.
Pretending to be an undercover agent, he actually delivered false information when it mattered.
Regardless of whether Chanjiao knows what is happening now or whether it will act as a double agent, this is a business without foundation.
Baiyao would not believe a word that came out of Poisonous Scorpion's mouth. As for whether Chan Church would believe the "information" it sent back, that was Chan Jiao's business.
After telling Kong Xuan his thoughts, Kong Xuan stared at the dying poisonous scorpion and asked:
"You know that I am in the Yin Shang Dynasty, right? Follow the Chan Cult and join Xiqi. Do you want to take revenge on me?"
Poisonous Scorpion's eight eyes trembled, and he quickly explained:
"The young one voluntarily gave Master Kong the venom! He only joined the Chan Cult to supplement his original source!"
Its brain was running wildly, it came up with a way, and said loudly:
"Xie Luo has been wandering for half of his life, and he only regrets that he has never met his master. If Mr. Kong does not give up, I would like to worship you as my adoptive father!"
"Through fire and water! No matter what!"
"Huh?" Kong Xuan was laughing in his heart, but his voice was very cold: "Are you worthy of being my adopted son?"
He directly passed a secret spell into the mind of Poisonous Scorpion named Xie Luo and said:
"You can work as an undercover agent at Chanjiao. If you have any important news, use this method to report it."
After that, he directly sealed Xie Luo with the five-color divine light, sank it into the desert underground, and said through a message:
"Don't try to break through the seal, it can obscure your aura and give you access to the futon further ahead."
Xie Luo said with joy:
"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!"
It doesn't matter if the source is exhausted, it can continue to be replenished by the teachings.
But the opportunity to listen to the Holy Word is only once, if you don’t seize it, it will be gone!
Just when it completely sank into the ground, Kong Xuan's body suddenly tensed up and he looked to the other side of the depression.
I saw a young man, extremely handsome, with the Emperor's pattern between his eyebrows. The figure wearing imperial clothes appeared from the ripples in the air, with a majestic bearing.
The young man holds a bell in his hand, depicting the sun, moon and stars, lingering around the earth, water, fire and wind. Occasionally, it manifests into an illusion, in which mountains, rivers, land and all living things appear.
"I really didn't make a mistake back then."
Taiyi's long dark-yellow hair gently brushed his tall spine, and the confidence and mystery in his words made people unconsciously attracted.
Kong Xuan obviously recognized him, his aura continued to rise, a strong fighting spirit emerged in his eyes, and he raised the corner of his mouth and said:
"I didn't expect you to be alive, Donghuang Taiyi."
The two met once in ancient times. At that time, Kong Xuan disguised himself as a golden immortal and was about to visit Yuan Feng at the Immortal Volcano when he passed by Tai Yi.
Since the two Lich clans had already started fighting at that time, the two just looked at each other and went about their own business without much interaction.
Kong Xuan didn't care why Taiyi was still alive, he just wanted to try whether the five-color divine light could wipe out the Chaos Clock.
Taiyi felt Kong Xuan's breath and chuckled:
"It turns out that you are also hiding your clumsiness outside Zixiao Palace. You have Chaos bloodline and your cultivation level is infinitely close to that of Hunyuan. However, Gu is also feeling a little itchy."
"boom!!!"
The next moment, the earth shook!
The entire land tens of thousands of miles in radius collapsed!
The two of them exchanged blows in the blink of an eye, causing such destruction.
You must know that this world was built by Taozu himself using the most powerful rules of heaven, and his spiritual consciousness can only cover thousands of miles at most.
Due to the aftermath of the battle between the two, the smoke and dust in the sky turned into a violent sandstorm, sweeping away in all directions!
The five-color divine light covered half of the sky, and Taiyi also suppressed half of it with the help of the Chaos Clock.
On the Chaos Clock, a five-color divine light disappeared.
Seeing this, Taiyi smiled and said:
"If you want to get rid of it, I'm afraid you have to become a saint first."
Kong Xuan was a little disappointed, not because he couldn't brush the Chaos Clock, but because of Taiyi's strength.
He shook his head and said:
"You've gotten a lot weaker."
From the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation to the present, Kong Xuan has witnessed many things. In his impression, Donghuang Taiyi is a being who can fight many ancestral witches with his own power, and finally pull the strongest of the witch clan to die together.
When the two were fighting just now, Taiyi fell into a disadvantage. Because of the existence of the Chaos Clock, he stabilized his figure.
Taiyi was not angry because of Kong Xuan's words. He was indeed weaker than before. He just said calmly:
"It's really a time of struggle, I think Yuan Feng will be stronger than you."
Kong Xuan dispersed the five-color divine light. He didn’t want to fight Taiyi now. It was boring, so he said:
"It's only natural that my mother is better than me."
Taiyi also dissipated the power of the Chaos Bell. He did not want to be entangled with Kong Xuan for too long. This Yuanfeng parent and son was a quasi-sage during the Lich War. From the beginning of Tianshuo to the present, his profound background surprised him. .
The primary goal is to find Haotian first and drive him out of this space.
"Have you ever seen Haotian, fellow Taoist?"
Tai asked.
Kong Xuan shook his head lightly:
"He's my target too."
Both of them regard each other as the strong one who can sit on the first three futons. If they fight now, others will reap the benefits.
After all, neither Styx nor Zhen Yuanzi are vegetarians.
Moreover, Kong Xuan is also wary of Yun Xiao, the eldest sister of San Xiao.
Because Baiyao told her about Yunxiao's strength:
The six qi and three corpses were all thrown away, and Qingluan left Yujing just a short distance away.
After killing the three corpses, they were only a short distance away from the Hunyuan Dao Fruit.
But at their level, the distance from the Hunyuan Dao Fruit does not mean the difference in combat power.
Heels and magic weapons are the key to victory.
For example, the Taiyi in front of him was not as strong as before, but with the help of the innate treasure Hunyuan Bell, he dared to fight with him head-on.
Although neither of them put in their full effort, if someone else was in charge of the Chaos Clock, it would not be as simple as falling into a disadvantage.
Until the end, neither of them wanted to reveal their trump cards.
Taiyi said softly:
"The battlefield space is shrinking. We must have attracted the attention of others, so I will go to Haotian first."
After that, he disappeared from the spot.
Baiyao, who had been watching the battle for a long time, said in wonder:
"Is the demon clan going to resurrect again?"
Kong Xuan laughed and said:
"How is it possible? Nowadays, the human race is the protagonist of the world. Even if I say that I want to revive the Phoenix clan, I am just not willing to say it casually. The dragon and phoenix catastrophe and the lich catastrophe are all processes by which heaven perfects itself. Heaven will not allow it. All the same mistakes again."
Baiyao was silent for a moment and said softly:
"It seems that the catastrophe is far more unpredictable than I thought."
Yuanfeng's nirvana, Taoist preaching, Taiyi's resurrection...
Many things have become different.
When you go back, sacrifice all the prisoners of war to the Moon God to speed up the process of realizing the power of the four gods.
The festival for worshiping the moon was coming soon, and even if Taozu was still preaching, he would have to go back.
I heard it but didn’t understand it. When the time comes, I can just store the humane chessboard in Kong Xuan’s mind and record it.
By manipulating the reports on the number of prisoners of war ordered by the four clones, Baiyao discovered that there were only about 50,000 prisoners of war in this western expedition.
When he attacked Yuan Futong, he captured more than 100,000 people. Now there are still many red-haired soldiers who have been demoted as slaves and used as human sacrifices at any time.
It took six hundred years of living sacrifice before the God of Wind could transform into Fuyao. If he wanted to sacrifice the God of Moon in a short time, these prisoners of war would not be enough.
In sacrifices, the highest-level sacrifice cannot be replaced by something rare.
It must be considered rare by the people of the Great Shang Dynasty before it can be used as a sacrifice.
For example, Ao Guang, in Baiyao's heart, the Dragon King of the East China Sea is nothing, but in the hearts of the people of Dashang, dragons are mythical creatures, very rare, so they can serve as the highest-level sacrifices.
In the same way, princes are very noble beings to the people and can serve as the highest sacrifice to a single god.
For Baiyao, the princes are simply natural sacrifices, and they are perfect for worshiping the moon god.
It's just that the second Western Expedition still needs to be fully prepared before it can be carried out. If you want to sacrifice to the Moon God multiple times, the princes simply don't have enough.
The sacrificial level of treasures has long been determined, and they are basically hung on human animals before they are considered as sacrifices.
The last time Baiyao told Bigan to use treasures as third-class sacrifices during the national sacrifice, it was already a risky act.
Sacrifice to the Moon God is only one level lower than national sacrifice, but there are big changes at this level.
First of all, the national sacrifice is very solemn, and the tone must be set in advance. If you want to kill, kill in large numbers. If you want to show your military exploits, the sacrifices must be rare.
But if you go one level lower, you can only kill with great force.
Because the rare sacrifices could not withstand his repeated sacrifices, the treasures were either smashed or carried into the tomb after the sacrifices.
Offering the same sacrifice twice is an insult to the ancestors. This has been the ancestral system for six hundred years.
Because Emperor Xin had sent all Chaoge's slaves into the army, Baiyao felt for the first time that the sacrifices were not enough.
The felons in prison should also be used as human sacrifices.
