Countless monsters continued to attack, all using saintly methods. For a moment, the sky collapsed and the earth roared.
After confirming that these monsters would not escape, the city lord of Emperor Wu City also directly joined the battle.
With the addition of this Mahayana powerhouse, the battle situation instantly became one-sided. Not only were the monsters unable to get close to Li Xiuping, they were even unable to break through the siege of the saints and sages, and were subsequently killed one by one.
Not long after this lasted, all the monsters were killed.
After confirming that nothing was missing, all the strong men returned to Li Xiuping and removed the defensive barrier on Li Xiuping.
The city lord of Emperor Wu City smiled and asked, "Is Young Master Li okay?"
Li Xiuping shook his head and said calmly: "Fortunately, this junior has a tough life. Two strong men in the fusion stage and a monster were not able to kill this junior."
After hearing this, the Lord of Emperor Wu City looked a little embarrassed and said with a smile: "I didn't make it clear to Young Master Li before. It is indeed Old Man's problem. If Young Master Li wants to blame, just blame Old Man alone."
Li Xiuping waved his hand and said: "Forget it, I won't agree if I really want to say it. Even my senior brother is plotting against me, so what can I say."
Qi Wenxing also looked embarrassed at this time, and laughed and said: "It's okay, and even if you use the Nothing Card in the secret realm, I can arrive in an instant, and I can definitely guarantee that you are safe."
The saint from Taiyi Pavilion asked directly at this time: "What news did Mr. Li get in the secret realm this time?"
Li Xiuping nodded and said, "Senior Qing Ming, go back and tell you. I'm scared to stay outside now."
As he spoke, he glanced at He Feng, and then said to the Lord of Emperor Wu City: "I don't want to know what plans the Lord of the City has with the seniors, but he and the girl are innocent after all. I hope Lord of the City..."
He then changed his words and said: "Forget it, I am an outsider and I can't say much."
After saying that, Yukong headed towards Emperor Wu's city. He really didn't want to stay with these old foxes any longer.
After Li Xiuping returned to Emperor Wu City, He Feng was still responsible for Li Xiuping's food and daily life. Everything was the same as before, as if nothing had happened. As for whether the Lord of Emperor Wu City said anything to He Feng, Li Xiuping didn't ask and didn't want to know too much.
Curiosity is inevitable, but Li Xiuping really doesn't want to get involved in a war with the demons.
For a long time, nothing happened in Emperor Wu City. Apart from refining elixirs, Li Xiuping went to the library to read, and chatted with the old man in the library. However, the old man from the Library Pavilion soon left Martial Emperor City to verify the method of replacing martial souls with beast souls.
After that, Li Xiuping started to help forge swords in Emperor Wu City. During this period, the woman in Qingyi and the girl Xiaohong returned, but soon received a call from Qingqiu Mountain and went west to Baidi City. I heard that it seemed that Bai Di The Imperial City has been invaded by demons.
Almost at the same time, news came from Piaoxue City in the north. They were also invaded by demons, so Sword Sword Pool, Piaoxue City and Xianglu Mountain also went to the north. However, there was no news about Shenjiang City in the south. .
As a result, Emperor Wu City, which was the first place where the news about the demons came out, was in peace. Those saints and sages also left one after another to support the other three cities. By the time Li Xiuping successfully forged the second immortal sword, Emperor Wu City had already left. The building was empty, leaving only layman Qingming, layman Baixue and Taoist Taixu.
layman Qingming stayed to wait for Li Xiuping, while layman Baixue and Taoist Taixu needed to stay and be responsible for the defense of Emperor Wu City. After all, Emperor Wu City could not only be defended by Emperor Wu City.
Emperor Wu City is still safe now, so Li Xiuping has no plans to leave, and he really doesn't know where to go now. He can just wait for the old man in the library to see if the method of transforming the beast soul into a martial soul is feasible. , which can just explain the condition of his body and prepare for the future gathering of martial souls.
If this method works, then he should be able to condense the martial soul and achieve the martial soul Yuanying in the future. If it doesn't work, then he will have to find another way.
Now that the jet black dragon has been integrated into the Yuan Dan, there is no need to refine the elixir to awaken it, so Li Xiuping's main goal now is to awaken his other self.
Although she has now successfully refined the elixir and forged the fairy sword, showing her role in the world, and all forces will spare no effort to protect her safety, this time out of the secret realm, Li Xiuping gained some Information related to demons.
If the Demon Dao can really solve Ascension, then any force may become the next Star Observation Tower. At that time, his situation will still be as dangerous. After all, judging from the previous attitude of the Star Observation Tower, the demons are indeed It was to get rid of him.
In other words, except for a few trustworthy forces, any other force may become his enemy. If he wakes up his other self as soon as possible, his own safety can be maximized.
Besides, the whole world is in chaos now, and all the forces have too much time to take care of themselves, so who can take care of him.
In fact, it was precisely for this reason that Li Xiuping didn't want to get involved in things related to the demons, because that would be directly exposed to the eyes of those demons.
In this way, Li Xiuping stayed in Emperor Wu's City for about three months, either making swords or refining elixirs every day. Anyway, he would make whatever Emperor Wu's City needed. As long as Emperor Wu's City could provide the materials, he would have no problem.
After this period of continuous refining, Li Xiuping found that not only did the power contained in his Yuan Dan become stronger and stronger, but the willow tree in the spiritual sea had also completely recovered, breaking through the fourth and fifth layers of spiritual crystals.
As the fifteenth layer of spiritual crystals was broken open, the sixteenth layer of spiritual crystals also began to take shape, turning Li Xiuping into a sixteenth-level monk.
On this day, the old man from Zangshuge, who had disappeared for several months, returned. As soon as he came back, he went directly to find Li Xiuping, with a smile on his face.
The old man didn't need to say anything. Li Xiuping could tell everything from his expression. It was obvious that using the beast soul could indeed condense the martial soul. In other words, if you want to condense the martial soul, you must first fuse the beast soul. As for what the specific requirements are. There are more ways. Obviously, the old man tried many times before he found the method, otherwise it wouldn't have taken him nearly half a year to come back.
Before the old man could speak, Li Xiuping took the lead and said, "Congratulations to senior for successfully condensing the martial spirit."
The old man waved his hand and said with a smile: "If it weren't for Mr. Li, I might not be able to find a way in this life."
Li Xiuping smiled, shook his head, and asked, "Senior, did you suffer a lot this time?"
The old man nodded and said: "If you can succeed, it will be worth it no matter how hard you endure."
He continued: "Now that the martial arts spirit has been successfully condensed, it's just that if you want to continue to climb higher in the martial arts, I'm afraid it will only be more difficult, so I hope to have more contact with Mr. Li in the future."
Li Xiuping nodded and said: "This is natural. If I hadn't met the senior this time, the junior would not have been able to successfully condense the Yuan Dan. Since the road to martial arts needs to be explored, two people are better than one person."
This sentence seemed to speak to the old man's heart, and he nodded repeatedly: "This is what I mean too."
Li Xiuping saluted the old man and said, "It is a blessing for the younger generation to meet and get to know the seniors."
The old man returned the greeting and said, "Let's encourage each other."
At this time, He Feng suddenly ran over and said, "Master Li, Master asked you to come over and say that we have something to discuss."
Li Xiuping was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.
During this period of time, the city lord has never consulted with Li Xiuping about the demon clan. At most, he just asked Li Xiuping to help him forge some swords or refine some elixirs. The two of them even met each other. Opportunities are few.
If he suddenly wants to be called over at this moment, something big must have happened.
Although Li Xiuping didn't want to get involved, he couldn't refuse, so he asked, "Did you tell me what it was about?"
He Feng shook his head.
Li Xiuping said: "Let's go."
After saying that, he followed He Feng out of the residence.
He Feng did not take Li Xiuping to the discussion hall of Emperor Wu City, but took Li Xiuping to the study of the Lord of Emperor Wu City. Obviously, there would not be too many people in this discussion, and it was likely that only Li Xiuping and The Lord of Emperor Wu City.
After entering the study, Li Xiuping discovered that there was really only one person in the study, the Lord of Emperor Wu City.
After He Feng brought Li Xiuping, he saluted and prepared to leave, but was stopped by the Lord of Emperor Wu City. He Feng turned around and closed the door.
Li Xiuping saluted the Lord of Emperor Wu City and asked, "The Lord has called this junior here alone. What are your instructions?"
The Lord of Emperor Wu City looked a little heavy. He motioned for Li Xiuping to sit down and said, "Sit down and talk."
Li Xiuping and the Lord of Emperor Wu City sat opposite each other. He Feng also walked up at this time and made tea for the two of them.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City said: "Nowadays, a large number of demons have appeared in Baidi City, Piaoxue City, and Shenjiang City. Only Emperor Wu City is safe. Originally, I thought that the demons would definitely not regard Emperor Wu City as a The target, but the previous seal suddenly became loose. I am afraid that in a few days, Emperor Wu City will become the fourth battlefield."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but frown.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City continued: "Now the other four cities are in danger. Baidi City is protected by Qingqiu Mountain and the entire demon clan, so there is no problem. Piaoxue City is also supported by Xianglu Mountain, and Kunlun Mountain has also gone to Shenjiang City in the south. Only There is currently no help in Emperor Wu's city, and once the demons invade, the consequences will be disastrous."
Li Xiuping frowned and said, "But what can this junior do? If the Lord of the City asks this junior to forge swords and refine elixirs, I will naturally be obligated to do so. However, if he wants this junior to fight against the demons, with this little strength of this junior, it would be great if he can do it without causing any trouble."
The Lord of Emperor Wu City waved his hands and said: "That's not true. It's just that since Mr. Li knows how to deal with the demons, he may also know how to strengthen the seal, so he wants Mr. Li to take a look at the seal to see if he can learn from the inheritance he received. Get some information about the seal."
Li Xiuping couldn't help but be stunned.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City continued: "Nowadays, the entire cultivation world cannot support four battlefields at the same time, so it is good for Emperor Wu City to delay for one more day. As long as the situation in the other three places can be alleviated, then even Emperor Wu City will It has also become a battlefield, and it will not be as passive as it is now."
It is true that Li Xiuping has inheritance, but Li Xiuping does not know whether there is a way to strengthen the seal in that inheritance. The key is that if those inheritances are to be unlocked, another self must wake up, otherwise he will forcibly obtain those Inheritance does not do any good to Li Xiuping.
But this matter was quite troublesome to explain, so Li Xiuping could only nodded. I promised to go with the city lord to see the so-called seal. At worst, I could just say that I had no choice.
Seeing Li Xiuping nodding, the Lord of Emperor Wu City said to He Feng: "Go and let your senior brother and sister prepare."
He Feng responded and walked out.
After He Feng left, Li Xiuping asked casually: "Miss He and the demons..."
The Lord of Emperor Wu City sighed and said: "It's a long story. To make it clear, we have to start with the seal."
Li Xiuping was stunned.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City continued: "In the four directions of this world, there is a passage that connects to the demon world, but all four passages are sealed and guarded by the four generations of the four cities. Seals are born every thousand years. A baby girl will be called a saint by those who practice magic, and this baby girl is the key to opening the passage."
Li Xiuping was stunned and said in astonishment: "Miss He is that baby girl?"
The Lord of Emperor Wu City nodded and said: "If that's all, it wouldn't be troublesome to deal with it. Just kill it at the beginning of its birth. But this baby girl not only has the power to open the passage, but also has the power to seal it. , so the four cities have always ensured that this baby girl will not come into contact with the demons over the years. Using the power of the seal to suppress the power of the demons can ensure the stability of the passage seal. For thousands of years, these two forces have been The confrontation is one that waxes and wanes, and now the power of the seal has weakened, while the power of the demonic path has skyrocketed, leading to the current situation."
Without waiting for Li Xiuping to speak, he continued: "Let her follow you to the secret realm this time. First of all, no matter whether she is in contact with the demons or not, she can no longer suppress the power of the demons, so I used her as bait. I planned to lure the saint out of the Star Observation Tower, but I didn’t expect that only some of the strong men in the integration stage were attracted.”
Li Xiuping said bitterly: "Fortunately, he is only a strong man in the integration stage, otherwise my body would have rotted long ago."
The Lord of Emperor Wu City didn't seem to expect that Li Xiuping cared so much about this matter, but he didn't say much, and he could understand Li Xiuping. After all, it would be difficult for anyone not to care about being calculated like this. You know, that's He was gambling with his life, and if anything went wrong, he would be dead.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City continued: "Secondly, it can be regarded as a broken pot. Anyway, things can't get any worse. It's better to let her come into contact with the demons. Maybe she can get unexpected gains. Facts have proved that she does I have obtained the inheritance of the demon clan, and it is of great help in strengthening the seal."
Li Xiuping asked: "Then what will happen to her in the future?"
The Lord of Emperor Wu City shook his head and said that he didn't know.
Li Xiuping didn't seem to care much about the answer to this question, but said, "I didn't expect that a seal could actually give birth to a living person. It's really the most amazing thing in the world."
Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of himself.
To this day, he still knows nothing about his life experience. There is no information about where he comes from or who his parents are. All the people related to him are also unclear. The only person who may know, Mr. Ouye, is still dead. .
Then could he, like He Feng and others, be conceived by some kind of power between heaven and earth?
This statement sounded horrifying and unbelievable, but apart from this explanation, he really didn't know any better explanation.
However, the only person who could give Li Xiuping the answer to what exactly is the situation should be the wine master. If even the wine master doesn't know, then the doubt in his heart will be an unanswerable question, unless He could bring Mr. Ouye back from the dead and then get the answer from him.
In this way, Li Xiuping became even more curious about what kind of existence the so-called seal was, which could actually give birth to a living person.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City stood up and said, "Let's go."
Li Xiuping also stood up, and then followed the Lord of Emperor Wu City out of the study, then left the Lord's Mansion directly and continued eastward until he came to the seaside.
On the cliffs of the coast, there are countless strong men from Emperor Wu City sitting at this moment. Each one of them holds the same seal in their hands. Where these strong men sit, the runes light up one by one. These runes are connected to each other to form a A larger rune.
In addition to these powerful men from Emperor Wu City who were sitting, He Feng and several men and women were also standing aside at the moment. After seeing the Lord of Emperor Wu City and Li Xiuping, they saluted at the same time.
The Lord of Emperor Wu City led Li Xiuping directly to the edge of the cliff. The sea below suddenly began to roll, as if it was separated by some force. Then a huge whirlpool appeared directly. From the whirlpool, It exudes the atmosphere of ancient vicissitudes.
Stairs formed by rays of light appeared from the cliff, and then spread toward the vortex.
After these stairs appeared, the Lord of Emperor Wu City walked up directly, walked down the stairs, and walked towards the whirlpool.
Li Xiuping followed behind, as did He Feng and the men and women.
When he reached the end of the stairs, Li Xiuping discovered that there was a space of its own under the sea water.
A huge open space, with stone tablets standing on it, and the stone tablets are full of names.
These stone tablets formed a huge circle, and in the center of the circle was a huge stone sculpture, which turned out to be a giant sword.
On the giant sword, countless iron chains were wrapped around each other, and then fixed in the surrounding earth. There were runes carved on those huge iron chains, which were exactly the same as the runes on the giant sword.
Around that giant sword, there were countless strong men from Emperor Wu City sitting, and like the strong men above, they were all holding a seal, and there were also runes lighting up on the ground.
Li Xiuping and others were standing in front of the giant sword at this moment.
Some people died, but not completely...
