Yunlun Mountains, above the fourth dragon vein.
Xu Xiaoshou finally stopped crouching, patted the dirt on his beloved skirt, and stood up, looking at the precious meteor shower in the distance with lingering fear.
It didn't take long, but he felt like he had been lying down for a century!
"What a wonderful show..."
The Divine Sword Xuan Cang’s Luck Golden Dragon, the Semi-Saint Dao’s Great Formation of Heaven’s Secret, the arrow of the sinful bow that spans two realms, as well as the Holy Emperor’s remnant and the black dragon’s scales…
besides!
And the eight masters of the Holy Slave, the head of the Saint Slave, who did not even show their faces, but played everything in the palm of their hands!
"too strong."
"The peak combat power in this world is a bit frightening."
Xu Xiaoshou finished watching the battle and was very excited.
When he really encountered the peak battle, he was still in the final stage and was not even qualified to get involved in fighting.
I was not killed by the aftermath of the battle, and I would like to thank both warring parties for their efforts to control me and not harming innocent people.
"Drunk on the water of the world, wake up with the immortal chacha..."
The faint singing and chanting of the eight masters after the war still lingered in his ears. Xu Xiaoshou was stunned for a long time, still not recovering from his state of confusion.
He seemed to be able to understand why the Eight Masters had so many enthusiastic fans in the Eastern Sword God Heaven and even in the five continents.
This kind of person, this free and uninhibited fighting attitude, this kind of behavior that "puts aside the clothes and hides the merits and fame"...
It’s hard not to attract people!
"This is the first time since his 'fall' that he has truly announced his comeback to the world, and it is just a side shot."
"It's hard to imagine how arrogant the Eight Masters at their peak were when they faced off against others in that glorious era..."
Xu Xiaoshou breathed a sigh of relief, and when he came back to his senses, he saw about a dozen members of the Xu Gang around him. They all stopped kneeling on the ground because of the holy power, and patted their clothes and stood. Get up.
Everyone has not recovered from the battle in the sky just now.
Everyone is still recalling the vague singing sound made by an unknown person after the war.
After a long time, a member of the Xu Gang held his sword, looked excited, and shouted hysterically: "The Eighth Sword Immortal, this is definitely the Eighth Sword Immortal. This battle between saints is really... He’s taking charge!”
Xu Xiaoshou turned around and looked around. Without asking, he knew that this guy must be one of the ardent admirers of the Eight Masters.
Several people on the side were also attracted by the sound and turned their heads.
But I heard the members of the Xu Gang dancing and dancing with great passion: "According to legend, when the Eighth Sword Immortal was young, he would have no rivals wherever he went with his sword, one poem, one step, one sentence! Such freehand, free and unrestrained poems , it’s definitely his doing, he’s back!”
This guy was so excited that he cried with joy. As he spoke, he held his hands on his spiritual sword and started whimpering:
"I know, I know, the Eighth Sword Immortal has never fallen. I have always believed that he is still alive!"
"Sure enough, he is back, he is really back!"
"Woooooooo..."
Xu Xiaoshou was silent as he watched, somewhat unable to understand why a dignified man and a spiritual refiner would be so fanatical about a person he had never met before, even caring about the other person's life and death.
There was obviously someone with similar thoughts on the side. He was born in the Central Region and was an orthodox spirit refiner. Looking at the guy in front of him covering his face and crying, he smiled and said: "Why is this? I, the spirit refiner, have no god in my heart." Buddha, only pursue the holy path of Kangzhuang, why do you want to..."
"You know nothing!"
The swordsman gang immediately interrupted, raised the sword in his hand, and said angrily: "When I was bullied by others in the clan, when I chose swordsmanship and was laughed at, when I stayed up all night practicing, when I wanted to give up..."
"It is precisely because of the saying 'A sword comes from the east and a sword comes from the east' that supports me and encourages me."
"This is faith!"
"People like you, who were born and grew up in a big family and a big influence, don't understand anything, so what qualifications do you have to judge me?!" His eyes were red and he was furious.
The orthodox spirit refiner was choked by the drink, and he shrank his head in confusion, saying: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you had such a past..."
The mountain suddenly became quiet.
Xu Xiaoshou still watched silently, and suddenly he had another interpretation of the influence of the Eighth Sword Immortal on the sword cultivation system, or on all the "vulnerable groups" in this world.
Perhaps, people like the Swordsmen in front of me worship not only the three words "Eight Masters", but also the kind of "preferring to be unyielding and pursuing freedom" behind these three words. the spirit of.
"What's your name?" Xu Xiaoshou suddenly asked.
The swordsman, who was still wiping his tears, was a little startled when he heard the sound, but quickly came to his senses and replied: "Leader Zhenmu, my name is Li Yan."
"Li Yan..." Xu Xiaoshou murmured, walked over with a smile, stood on tiptoes and patted his shoulder, "Li Yan, come on, others may not believe you, but I believe in you. The power of faith, It’s infinite!”
Li Yan was stunned for a long time, his spirit energy swayed, his tears dried up, he lowered his head and said: "Thank you..."
Xu Xiaoshou stopped looking at him and turned to look back at the sky.
The meteor shower fell, spreading the seeds of hope all over the sky. The figure in red clothes was still circling back and forth over the Yunlun Mountains, even if it couldn't form a formation, it kept intercepting them.
But there were always mistakes and omissions, which caused these treasures to fall into the Yunlun Mountains, a place of trial.
"How many Li Yans are there in this world?" Xu Xiaoshou thought sadly, then shook his head, abandoned his distracting thoughts, and returned to business.
Hongyi couldn't stop the last wave of treasures from the eight masters.
Among them, there is the Demon Lord of Ten Thousand Arms, the Demon Sword who disappears into the invisible with the power of the Holy Emperor.
Not surprisingly, there is also the legendary source of canonization, the "Holy Source Crystal" - the original words from the Eight Masters.
Since these treasures are likely to fall on the Yunlun Mountains, and they have no owners, the trialists will definitely search for treasures frantically.
Then why do you still have to stand alone in this empty mountain and miss this opportunity?
"This wave of treasures can definitely delay a lot of time, making it impossible for Rao Yaoyao to distract his energy and continue to pursue the murderer. Hong Yi is also afraid that these treasures will fall into the hands of the dark forces and create a powerful enemy for himself. , especially the 'Holy Origin Crystal'..." Xu Xiaoshou thought.
He didn't know why the "Holy Origin Crystal" had the prefix "The Origin of Sainthood" in the original words of Ba Zun. Perhaps this thing could be almost equated with the "Daoji of Sainthood"?
But just because he didn't understand, it didn't mean he wasn't moved.
After all, this is a treasure that can be specifically mentioned in the original words of Ba Zunzhen, and is ranked alongside the Demon Lord of Demon Sword and Ten Thousand Arms.
And now...
Those who are destined will get it!
Xu Xiaoshou was about to order an order to go out to search for treasures, and took advantage of the chaotic situation to stir up the muddy waters again.
At this time.
"drop."
The trial jade pendant made a sound.
Xu Xiaoshou frowned, took out his jade pendant, and saw the latest prompt:
"The battle for the Nine Dragon Veins, the second task is announced."
"Look for the treasures containing holy power scattered throughout the Yunlun Mountains, and submit them through the trial jade pendant. You can get one hundred thousand points for each treasure you submit."
"Additional attachment: Submit the treasure 'Holy Source Crystal' to get 100 million points; submit the 'Devil Sword· Ten Thousand Weapons Demon Lord' to get 100 million points."
The message is short and concise.
Xu Xiaoshou was dumbfounded.
This speed...
It’s too fast!
There are not enough manpower in red, so they directly regard "treasure hunting" as part of the trial itself, using the trialists in the Yunlun Mountains to search for treasures for them?
But, can it be done?
Next to them, a member of the Xu Gang sneered after reading the message, and said, "This is so shameless, and you still need 100,000 points? Which one is more important, 100,000 points or a treasure containing holy power?"
"Yeah, but the last two rewards of 100 million points make my head buzz. If I really want to find them, and I don't have the ability to protect those treasures, maybe I will choose to submit them as soon as possible. ..." someone else said.
Hearing these words, Xu Xiaoshou narrowed his eyes.
The members of the Xu Gang could not see the clear and complete process of the previous confrontation between saints, so these people did not know that "treasures containing holy power" were not actually "holy treasures", but only "spiritual weapons and elixirs covered with a layer of holy power" wait".
Therefore, after these people find the treasure and understand the truth, they may really have to choose to submit the treasure because of the accelerated trial process and the temptation of the "Holy Palace Trial Quota".
If you don't have enough strength, even if you get the treasure, there will generally only be a few results:
One is being robbed.
The second is to hand it over to the clan afterward.
The third is to be discovered by law enforcement officers and forced to submit it in exchange for points.
So, why not exchange the treasures for the points most needed at the current stage as soon as you get them, submit one, and immediately search for the next one?
Even after obtaining the "Holy Origin Crystal" and "Devil Sword", who can defend the Yunlun Mountain Range Trial?
Either he was robbed by stowaways, or he kept changing hands among strong men, and finally he was discovered by law enforcement officials and was forced to submit...
"It's dirty!"
"This wave of 'treasure hunt' missions is really a bit too dirty!"
Xu Xiaoshou could almost see Hong Yi's true intention in this mission.
Because there is also a trial jade pendant on every normal trial. This thing may be the source of monitoring everyone in the cloud world.
As long as you go hunting for treasures, no matter how much you get or how much you hide, the process will all fall into Rao Yaoyao's eyes.
"Good guy!"
Xu Xiaoshou had to sigh with emotion at the brains of the red-coated senior executives. How easy it was to be able to come up with such a method that was almost a "conspiracy" in such a short period of time?
No matter what, now that there is a mission to test the jade pendant, and the treasure hunt has changed from a private nature at the beginning to a stately matter, Xu Xiaoshou cannot continue to sit on the empty mountain.
"Everyone, follow orders!"
He showed off the momentum of the leader of the Mu Gang, and with one move, he made the dozen or so Xu Gang members around him stand in awe, and shouted in unison: "Here you are!"
"Immediately go down the mountain and search for treasures containing holy power. When you find them, submit them to me first. Then record the merits according to the situation and exchange them for what you want most!" Xu Xiaoshou said loudly.
After a pause, he smiled and said jokingly: "Of course, you can also choose to hide it privately, although this may attract the attention of law enforcement officers."
"Don't dare..."
"The gang leader is heartbroken, but we dare not!"
Everyone in the Xu Gang immediately waved their hands, frightened and speechless.
They had secret thoughts, but now that they were exposed, their courage was a little cold, because Gang Leader Mu was a "devil".
Xu Xiaoshou was too lazy to talk nonsense. He didn't pay attention to how many "treasures containing holy power" there were. He was only interested in "holy source crystals" and "magic swords".
It can be expected that during the search of all the trialists in the Yunlun Mountains, within a few days... maybe not even half a day, these big items will surface one by one.
"Set off!"
…
Core area, near the ninth dragon vein.
Ye Xiaotian, who looks like a short young man with white hair, is slowly wandering on the mountain road, like a ghost.
"Holy Origin Crystal..."
His eyes were sharp and incredulous, and he unconsciously murmured the familiar terms that came from the mouth of Bazun.
Ye Xiaotian remembered his purpose of coming to Yunlun Mountains as a stowaway.
He still remembered that even though Mr. Sang's letter had been shattered, there were a few arty and neat sentences in it:
"The night is coming and the dawn has not yet come."
"Since we are in the general trend, how can we talk about being detached?"
"My holy slave, your space."
"If you can't die if the light shines, you can't kill it."
"Yunlun Mountains, Holy Origin Crystal."
Yunlun Mountains, Holy Origin Crystal... that last sentence, that last word, is exactly the same as what Bazun said!
"Old Man Sang..."
Ye Xiaotian shook his head frequently, his eyes flickered, and he looked at the sky again, as if he saw the scene where the black dragon was entrenched and the saints were fighting each other.
He sighed, his heart full of shock:
"Old Man Sang, Old Man Sang, how dare you join forces with these beings? They might be able to swallow all your bones and dregs!"
"The Demon Emperor Black Dragon, the Eighth Sword Immortal...each of them, can they be easy to mess with?"
"This has directly started a fight with the front of the Holy Temple. How dare you to get involved in these things!"
Ye Xiaotian subconsciously used the image of Sang Qiye from the Holy Palace and the vice president of the Tiansang Ling Palace to guess his old friend.
However, when I thought about it, I realized that my old friend also had a frightening name.
"Second-in-command of the Holy Slave, sleeveless!"
So Ye Xiaotian fell silent.
Then think back to the time when you got Sang Lao’s letter, and then think back to the news that the second-in-command of the Holy Slave was captured by the Holy Temple during the Battle of White Cave...
During the White Cave time, Sang Lao was already gone.
As a result, the letter clearly had the words "Yunlun Mountains, Holy Source Crystal" written on it.
How far in advance does this have to be calculated?
In the end, it was settled for him!
Ye Xiaotian vaguely seemed to see the scene of old man Sang laughing proudly in front of him. The corners of his eyes twitched a little, and he replaced the last words of complaint in his heart.
"How dare you, dare to take charge of this kind of thing? Even if you want to die, you don't have to play like this!"
However, after coming to the Yunlun Mountains and stepping into the center of this whirlpool, it was difficult for Ye Xiaotian to escape.
Besides, this was Mr. Sang's last commission. To be honest, Ye Xiaotian didn't want to get away on his own initiative.
"So, where will the Holy Origin Crystal be?" Ye Xiaotian speculated.
He was thinking that since Old Man Sang is the Holy Slave without sleeves, and the first Saint Slave is suspected to be the Eight Masters, and the Eight Masters seem to be related to Void Island, the fight between Demon Emperor Black Dragon and Dao Qiongcang should be his one-hand plan .
So, as half a "own person".
Old man Sang wanted to help him get the Holy Origin Crystal. He should have left some kind of clues that would allow him to get to the target faster among all the stowaways. Even Hong Yi couldn't react.
But clues...
Ye Xiaotian thought and fell into hesitation.
Have it?
absolutely not!
Apart from the four words "Holy Origin Crystal" mentioned on Sang Lao's letter, he had no other clues.
"Damn old guy, the most critical information is missing. Are you deliberately trying to embarrass me?" Ye Xiaotian cursed in his heart.
He is a decent man, and was formerly a disciple of the Holy Palace. Even if he entered the Yunlun Mountains, he would not be exposed if he could.
If he really showed off his space attributes and searched the entire Yunlun Mountains, I'm afraid Rao Yaoyao would be able to bring his sword to his face in less than three breaths.
Don't look for it this way...
Once time is delayed, you may have to risk exposure in the future in order to obtain the "Holy Source Crystal" that was discovered in advance by others.
"Damn it!"
Ye Xiaotian cursed again and gritted his teeth, feeling that no matter what, Mr. Sang's last commission could not be easily let go.
With a stroke of his hand in the void, the space turned into a mirror and waves began to flow.
But, at this moment.
"call out."
A slight sound breaking through the air interrupted Ye Xiaotian's movements.
Turning his head to look, he saw a crystal-clear, fist-sized hexagonal spar flying toward him in the distance, glowing with a faint holy light.
Ye Xiaotian:? ? ?
Don’t you need me to look for it?
Looking for me yourself?
Soon, he recovered from his dazed state, because right after the hexagonal crystal, there was an anxious cry belonging to a human being:
"Stop him!"
"Damn it, this is a Holy Power treasure worth 100,000 points. Brothers, rush! Hey... is there anyone in front?"
"Hey! That dwarf in front, help me stop this baby. Don't submit it. I'll give you 50,000 points!"
