White cave.
Lijian Grassland.
If there is one place in the White Cave that is the most famous, even people who have never entered the White Cave have heard about it, it has to be the "Lijian Grassland".
There is no other reason.
Just because this one covers an area as vast as dozens of miles of grassland, and there is a majestic, palace-like formation - the Thirty-six Heavenly Sealing Wu Formation!
now.
On the outside of the large formation that connects Qingyun above and blocks the prairie below, people in red clothes stand in groups, surrounded by groups of three or two.
The men in red each hold formation flags, either stationary or moving...
But without exception, all of them looked solemn, as if they were preparing to fight against a powerful enemy that could threaten their lives.
Behind each red-clothed figure, there were spiritual formation masters of various ages, looking hesitant and waiting for their fate.
The teams of all parties are not far apart from each other, only a few miles.
This distance ensures that when an accident occurs somewhere, people around you can rush to rescue in time.
Redcoat deployment headquarters.
Lan Ling was in a specially set up tent with a rectangular table in front of him.
What is on the table is the structural mold of the "Thirty-six Heavenly Sealing Formation" outside the White Cave.
Each layer of nested structure was disassembled and piled up several feet high.
before it.
Xin, Hei Ming, and the other guards in red, each stood silently.
"How's the vigil going? Are you back yet?"
Lan Ling withdrew her attention from the diagram of the array in front of her and stared at the letter.
Xin looked at the increasingly clear dark circles under the eyes of the woman in front of him. He didn't dare to look any further and turned his head to look out the window.
"Soon."
"He said that Xu Xiaoshou completely disappeared and couldn't even find any signal, but he wanted to look for it again."
"However, the formation is about to break, and at this time, he has to come back."
"Hmph!" Yi Yi Heiming sneered, "Xu Xiaoshou... is this person, more important than sealing ghost beasts?"
"right."
Xin nodded and said, "That's what Vigil said. I don't know the rest."
"Nonsense!"
Hei Ming said angrily: "No matter how important an ant with innate cultivation can be, how important can he be? Is it possible that the body that sealed the ghost beast is him?"
"No." Xin shook his head.
"No...heh, apart from the 'Four Swords' and the 'Sealed Ghost Beast' in the White Cave, which one is more important? Can you tell me about it?" Hei Ming waved his hand.
"There are more important ones, maybe more than two."
Before the letter was spoken, Lan Ling said:
"First of all, the interdimensional space cracks remaining in the 'Jinzhao Prison Sea', if not unexpected, the 'Saint Slave' may come into contact there."
"But, the guy inside has blocked all the breath of space, and we in red clothes can't find that place at all."
"If we send more people over, there is a high probability that it will not help."
Hei Ming immediately sneered, "You know everything about it, so why are you still sending someone over?"
“Just because we can’t find it doesn’t mean we have to do nothing.”
Lan Ling didn't care about his attitude, just shook his head slightly and said: "At least, try your luck and try the possibility."
"just in case?"
Hei Ming immediately raised his head and laughed. Before he could continue to speak, Xin stepped forward and came to this guy.
"Heiming, watch your attitude!"
"You are not the consul now. You are not guarding the outside. When you come in, just stay there and don't cause any trouble for us!"
"Oh?" Hei Ming's head flattened, and the two tall guys immediately confronted each other, "You stupid guy, are you teaching me how to do things?"
The air immediately solidified.
The other red-clothed men standing in the tent subconsciously took a few steps back.
In the fight between these top bosses, newcomers like them have no way to interfere.
"enough."
Lan Ling yelled and said coldly: "The formation is not broken yet, why don't you mess up the formation first? Get back!"
With a swipe, the cold eyes under Heiming's helmet glanced over.
Lan Ling narrowed her eyes and raised her head.
"Heiming, this is my territory!"
"If you really want to ask... I'm just teaching you how to do things right now!"
"Back off!"
With a click, Xin immediately retreated to Lan Ling's side and gave him an appreciative look.
This wave of training is simply too angry!
"how?"
Lan Ling glanced at the letter, raised his eyes and looked at Heiming, who was much taller than himself.
despair.
Hei Ming pondered for a long time, and finally chose to take a half step back.
"Huh~"
Lan Ling was relieved in his heart.
To be honest, the person who least expected a fight here was her.
It is true that Hei Ming is still dissatisfied with his leadership, but he is very clear about right and wrong.
Starting a war at such a critical moment would definitely be a source of internal friction for Hong Yi.
"How's it going? How far is the progress of breaking the formation?" Xin asked, looking at the towering Tianji formation outside the window.
"All is ready except for the opportunity."
"Dongfeng?"
I turned around in confusion.
"Um."
Lan Ling also looked away and said slowly: "Basically, all the formation points of the Tianji Formation have been discovered."
"I have ordered all my people to be on standby. I am just waiting for the last step to completely liberate the formation."
"We've unearthed everything, so what are we waiting for?" Xin said a little anxiously, "Why don't we untie it first?"
"No, we have to wait." Lan Ling shook his head.
"What are you waiting for?"
"Wait for someone!"
"who?"
"The Tianji Array must be cracked by the Tianji Warlock. No matter how strong I am, I am only the Grand Master of the Spiritual Array. There are some things that are beyond my ability to deal with." Lan Ling explained.
"Tianji Warlock..."
The letter hesitated.
He had heard of such existences, but they were characters who only came from the headquarters of the Holy Temple.
wait?
Can you wait?
Hei Ming calmly dragged a chair from behind and sat down.
He does not command this place.
Since talking too much would only lead to unnecessary arguments, he simply chose to wait and see.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a sound of wind sounded outside the door curtain.
Creed suddenly turned around, "Who?"
"Sister Lan Ling, Master Xin!"
A flying figure rushed directly into the camp.
"Xiao Ke?" Xin's attempt to make a move suddenly stalled.
"Uh-huh."
Lu Ke looked excited, like a child who didn't come home from school and ran away to play. Every time he went home, he would choose to suppress the inner anger of adults with his superficial excitement.
"coming."
Lan Ling murmured in a low voice, his eyes not on Lu Ke at all.
Sure enough, the next second, Lu Ke pointed outside the door curtain and said loudly: "Sister Lan Ling, Master Xin, who do you think I brought here?"
"who?"
The letter followed the instructions in the hand.
At this time, even Hei Ming turned his head silently.
"hey-hey."
Lu Ke trotted over, opened the door curtain, turned his head outward, and said:
"This is the direct disciple of Aunt Dao Xuanji from the headquarters of the Holy Temple. He is the second in the Heavenly Ranking of the Dao Department, one of the six divisions. He is also the super genius who has broken the record of Uncle Dao and is the number one Tianji Warlock in the latest continent..."
"The fish knows Wen, and knows Sister Wen!"
The crimson sky was lifted into the tent as the door curtain was lifted.
With a bang, Hei Ming stood up from his chair.
Xin Yang's raised head hurriedly lowered his head and restrained his thoughts of teaching Lu Ke a lesson.
Even Lan Ling's pupils suddenly shrank in an instant, and a turmoil arose in his heart.
Dao Xuanji, Dao Qiongcang’s sister...
The Heavenly Ranking of the Dao Division, one of the six divisions, is the strongest ranking list for a bunch of lunatics who are delving into the secrets of the world...
The person who came was actually Dao Xuanji’s personal successor, number two on the Tao Ministry’s Heavenly Ranking!
Lan Ling was shocked.
She had received news that the headquarters would send someone to take over the final attempt to break the formation.
But I didn’t expect that the person coming would be so big!
"despair."
In response to the sound of footsteps, a woman stepped outside the door.
As soon as he entered, Shi Shiran bowed and then raised his eyes.
Under the surprised eyes of everyone, a face wrapped in a veil was revealed.
Even though he didn't see much of his appearance, everyone couldn't look away from him just because of those starry eyes that captured people's hearts.
"The little girl Yu Zhiwen has met all the seniors."
…
Somewhere in the White Cave.
In front of a rather spectacular crack in another dimension.
It was completely dark here, and I couldn't see my fingers.
Even the spiritual thoughts found nothingness.
"Is this the 'Void Island Crack'?"
Cenqiaofu was torn out of another space crack in surprise.
Then, he gently placed the masked man with blood on his back on the ground.
"Is it okay?"
Seeing that his leader was being treated like this by a different-dimensional crack before he even fought with anyone, Cenjou couldn't help but twitching at the corner of his mouth.
"Ahem!"
"puff……"
A large pool of blood sprayed out, and the masked man struggled to get up, "No, it's okay... Poof!"
Cenqiaofu: "..."
"I knew that Wangshan was a dead horse before, but after I became a spiritual refiner, I was trapped in the space crack for so long, and was deceived into so many similar places..."
"This is the first time."
After he helped the masked man up, he looked at the crack in the different-dimensional space in front of him and sighed.
Regarding the injury of his first seat...
Well, this guy can't die anyway, so there's no need to waste the elixir.
"puff!"
The masked man spurted out another mouthful of blood.
At this time, thick droplets of blood could already seep out of the mask.
Cenqiaofu hesitated for a while, then took out a pill, "How about taking some?"
"No need."
The masked man waved his hand. It was not an injury that could be treated by elixirs, so why waste it?
After struggling for a while, he finally raised his head and saw the crack in front of him.
"After all, it is the Holy Emperor's method, and you are guarding against the high-level officials of the Holy Temple. With the strength you have shown so far, it is already very good to be able to break through this maze and find the final destination."
He sighed, suddenly...
"puff!"
A mouthful of dirty blood spurted out again.
"No, I just followed your guidance to find him."
"If you hadn't been giving me the general direction, I wouldn't have been able to find this place with my own strength."
Cen Qiaofu patted the masked man's back worriedly and said, "By the way, is the person inside really the Holy Emperor..." He looked at the crack.
"Um."
The masked man nodded, "A half-saint is not qualified to force those people to take action."
"Even a half-saint is not qualified...how did you sense this place, an acquired man?" Cenqiaofu raised his brows and asked deliberately.
"Having been in it, you will naturally know it."
The masked man obviously didn't want to say more about this matter, so he said instead: "Where's the storyteller? Is there any new news?"
Cenqiaofu said: "His aura can no longer be sensed here, but there was indeed a message coming before."
"It is said that he has already encountered a man in red, called the Night Watchman, and at this time, one of his external incarnations has been killed."
"Oh?" The masked man asked in surprise.
Cen Qiaofu continued: "The other party only mastered the power of Taixu with just a Dao slash. It is probably related to the latest research of the Holy Temple."
"Are there ghost beasts..." the masked man murmured, "Are there any more?"
"have."
Cen Qiaofu laughed and said: "He also said that he has prepared a big surprise for you and will give it to you personally when the time comes."
"a big surprise?"
The masked man suddenly became excited, "What's the big surprise?"
"I don't know, you can communicate among yourselves then!" Cenqiaofu also felt a chill and did not dare to interfere too much in the affairs of these two people.
"Could it be that Wen Ming was found and turned over by the way?" The masked man smiled lightly.
"Not sure."
Cen Qiaofu composed himself and said solemnly: "By the way, there is another very important message. The sissy storyteller didn't give it to me, but someone from outside passed it on."
"What message?"
"Gou Wuyue seems to have arrived, just outside the White Cave!"
"Gou Wuyue?"
The masked man was startled, his cloudy eyes flashing with memories.
"right."
"Not only did he come, he was also injured." Cenchofu's expression became serious.
"Talk about it."
"Yes." Cen Qiaofu nodded and said, "Gou Wuyue personally led a group of white-clothed people who arrived from the Eastern Region and stopped at the entrance of the White Cave."
"Looking at the situation, the storyteller guy didn't come here specifically to help. It's possible that his branch in the Central Region was destroyed and he came here on the run." He couldn't help but complain.
"Continue." The masked man was not interested in this matter.
"oh."
Cenqiaofu responded helplessly and continued:
"Gou Wuyue's team encountered an interception when passing through Qinglong County, resulting in heavy casualties."
"Baiyi blocked this information from the outside world, but there were too many people who saw the fighting at that time, and it was impossible to block it."
"There are two forces that appear in the battle. One is Jinzhao's lineage, and he is the one who intercepts and kills."
"I heard that the battle with Gou Wuyue was so intense that it burned thousands of miles."
"You should know who it is."
When the masked man heard this, a smile immediately flashed in his eyes.
"Retaliation..."
"He's still a bad-tempered person, and he doesn't even think about how much he weighs. In his condition, can he fight against the Seven Swordsmen?"
"What about the other power?"
He asked, then suddenly changed his words, "Are you dead?"
"not dead."
Cen Qiaofu said: "At the end of the desperate fight between the two, a giant Buddha appeared and slashed with sword energy in all directions, dividing the world into two."
"People were taken away."
"But this second power is rumored by the world...the Eighth Sword Immortal!"
Cenqiaofu looked at the masked man, trying to see his reaction.
"The Eighth Sword Immortal?"
The masked man showed no emotion in his eyes and said softly: "Has another Sword Immortal finally appeared in the mainland? Not bad."
"Not again."
Cen Qiaofu shook his head and said firmly: "There is only one Eighth Sword Immortal!"
The masked man was silent.
"Who is he?" Cenjov asked.
"how could I know?"
The masked man laughed mockingly: "Shouldn't you ask this question to those people you have met? I have been with you all the time and have never even seen each other. If you ask me, who should I ask?"
"That's the 'Big Buddha Beheading'!" Cenqiaofu's voice rose.
"Big Buddha Slash is just a small application of phantom swordsmanship. There are many people in the world who know it."
"But Jian Nian is not!" Cen Qiaofu said firmly.
"There are many capable people in the world, and people can understand the 'God Punishment, Punishment and Tribulation'. Isn't it normal for there to be one more person who understands the Sword Mind?"
Cenqiaofu: "..."
He wanted to say something more.
But suddenly, this dark place suddenly shook.
"boom!"
Violent sounds came from the outside world.
Cenqiaofu was stunned.
"What movement can actually tear apart the power of the Holy Emperor and affect this place?" He couldn't believe it.
The masked man also stared.
This time, the turbid gaze seemed to break through the darkness and the sky, and saw the world of the White Cave.
"There are four swords, born..."
