The sky was turbid and the earth was turbid, and in a nameless void, an incredible skeleton of a giant beast lay in the air, with its back undulating, rugged bone spurs, and glowing as white as jade.
But on the joints like the giant beast's branches supporting the sky, there is a White Bone Palace with a series of houses. This is where the mountain gate of the White Bone Sect is located among the four major demon sects.
In a palace of bones, two Taoists were talking. One of them looked solemn and said: "Brother, this matter must be treated with caution."
The person who was called Senior Brother was a skinny old Taoist. His expression was indifferent and he said: "Who is coming? What kind of cultivation level? A piece of paper flew out of the book for no reason, how do you want me to deal with it?"
The junior fellow apprentice was a short, middle-aged Taoist priest. Hearing this, he frowned and said, "But if Tai Su really wants to intervene in the dispute between our White Bone Sect and Tianyuan, I am afraid that my White Bone Sect family will not be able to resist it."
The skinny old Taoist gave a faint hum and asked: "In this case, how can we be cautious?"
The short Taoist priest suddenly choked and said hesitantly: "Maybe we can ask the Xiantian Demon Sect for help."
The skinny old Taoist asked: "Let me ask you, is it possible that the four major demon sects are truly connected with the same spirit?"
The short Taoist priest's face became serious and he said: "That's not the case, but my White Bone Sect is a pawn of the Demon Sect after all, and took the lead in provoking a dispute with the Tianyuan Sect..."
The skinny old Taoist said calmly: "Tianyuan lives in the gap between the earth and the abyss. It is full of spiritual intelligence and even more powerful. It is most suitable for my White Bone Taoism. It is not my White Bone Sect who is the devil's sect and a pawn, but my White Bone Sect who strives for the first place for myself."
The short Taoist priest was silent. The old Taoist glanced sideways at him, shook his head and said, "Let me ask you again, is it possible that the three sects and six sects are connected by the same spirit?"
The short Taoist priest responded: "Of course not. The Shenzhou has been in existence for thousands of years, and the three sects are eternal. However, the six sects have changed several. If they are really connected with the same spirit, how can it be like this?"
"Yes, how can there be harmony among the three sects and the six sects? If this is the case, even if our four major demon sects are solid, they will not be able to compete with the Xuanmen." The skinny old Taoist nodded and replied: "Taisu Zhengzong and Tianyuan have never had any friendship. , how could you intervene in the dispute between our two sects at this time?"
The short Taoist priest sighed: "Having said that, after all, Taisu Shangzong's reputation is too great, so I can't help but worry."
The skinny old Taoist raised his eyes and looked somewhere unknown, and said quietly: "Which of our four major demon sects has not been suppressed by Xuanmen and still preached for thousands of years? Although the three sects are strong, there is no need to be too afraid."
The short Taoist priest responded: "Yes, senior brother."
The skinny old Taoist nodded and said: "Since Tianyuan is unwilling to hand over Yuan, it will be time to attack soon. Many things have not been arranged yet, so junior brother, go and get busy."
The short Taoist priest cupped his hands in response, turned around and walked out of the hall. After taking only two steps, he suddenly thought deeply: "Having said that, the man went to the world of Tianyuan. He still doesn't know why, but he must not mess with the sect's arrangements."
After thinking about it, he felt that it made sense, and said to himself: "For the sake of safety, it is better to pass on the message and order martial law everywhere. Also, the earth, lung and fire element that I need for my practice need to be delivered to me as soon as possible by the old demon Jiyan."
With the plan in mind, the little Taoist priest stopped procrastinating and took the talisman paper. He carefully wrote it down with his fingers, sent the message and flew away. He found a bone talisman from the bag, used his magic power to turn it into small characters and fell into it. Among them, there was a slight urging.
Far away in Shenzhou, in an unknown depth beneath the mountains, another bone talisman shook slightly.
"Huh?" A Taoist priest with red beard and hair, a tiger-like eye and a tiger-kissed expression, took out the bone talisman from his sleeve, and small words like rice grains emerged from the bone surface.
The red-haired Taoist scanned it carefully and frowned: "Is there something unexpected that requires me to deliver the fire element a hundred days in advance?"
He glanced around and said to himself: "It's a pity that it's rare to return to the earth's lungs. I still have to wait for a while to practice."
Now it's not possible, but before leaving, you might as well collect some fire sacrifices and practice some techniques.
The red-haired Taoist shook his head, picked up the magic weapon, and shouted. Suddenly he saw black smoke billowing out, and turbid fire rolling in from all directions. He swallowed them all into his belly. His face did not change, but he swallowed faster and faster. However, In an hour, the anger in this vast fire pit was reduced.
——
In the refining room opened in Xuzhuang, weapon refining is also in full swing.
At the exit of the fire chamber, blazing flames and roaring firepower were surging. Yunying, star sand, and all kinds of rare treasure materials were surging in it. They were gradually refined into various liquids by the firepower. Then, they were kneaded by Xu Zhuang's magic power, mixed into a ball, and smelted. .
Xu Zhuang was distracted while maintaining the firepower to refine the treasure materials, and then took out the Yuanyuan Jade Gui that he had already prepared. This kind of natural jade is shaped like a gui. Spiritual energy and mana flow through it without any loss. There is no need to refine it at all. It is the most suitable treasure material for Xuzhuang.
He hung Yuanyuan Jade Gui in front of him, and took out a page of yellow talisman from his sleeve. It was densely written with tiny characters using the sand in the furnace. It was the forbidden rune based on the Xu Xing Xuan Zai Dragon Dao Technique. .
He placed the yellow talisman on Yuanyuan Yugui, and it was a perfect fit. Xu Zhuang took another breath of mana and blew it upward. The yellow talisman was blown away like smoke and bubbles, but the densely packed forbidden runes had fallen on it. Above Yugui, enter the jade three points.
As Xu Zhuang dealt with each refining process in an orderly manner, the treasure materials forged in the earth fire had faded away from various colors and turned into a silvery color with starry rays of light. This was a sign that it had begun to gradually merge. Just keep the fire going and wait.
Xu Zhuang was about to show satisfaction on his face when he suddenly paused. He saw that the firepower in the fire chamber was gradually decreasing. Although it did not affect his weapon refining, it was still weakening. If this continues, It’s hard to say.
Xu Zhuang frowned slightly. He didn't need to speak. The guardian clone beside him, who had been sitting quietly with his eyes closed, had already opened his eyes. He looked into the fire room, stood up, swayed, and walked straight through the stone wall.
After leaving the refining room, Xu Zhuang looked around and saw that the fire outside had weakened a lot. He frowned and flicked his sleeves, and several spiritual trees flew out and inserted them into the stone wall. They were hit by the fire around them. Burning, an open flame suddenly appeared, which also increased the surrounding firepower by one point.
However, this is only a temporary solution. After arranging the spiritual wood, Xu Zhuang picked up the magic weapon, and like a floating shadow blown away by the wind, it turned into a stream of fire and flew away, going against the flow of fire towards the depths of the ground. After a while, they passed through many gaps in the ground. The further they went in, the stronger the firepower became. Even though Xu Zhuang had the fire escape technique to protect himself, he started to feel a little uncomfortable.
After another moment, Xu Zhuang suddenly noticed something with his spiritual consciousness. With a movement in his heart, he urged his escape method and went down quickly. Not long after, he suddenly broke into a cave.
This crypt was quite vast. It was obvious that the fire power was extremely strong. The room was full of red, with sparks flying and smoke everywhere, and dust particles filling the air. The partial fire did not fill the room, but instead seemed to be being pulled by something, gathering somewhere.
Xu Zhuang appeared, and his body was naturally covered with a lot of spiritual light, which dispelled the heat of the fire. He looked around and followed the fire flow.
The ground fire here seemed to have formed a whirlpool, naturally gathering into vortexes. However, when Xu Zhuang followed the flow of fire, he saw that the vortex had already dissipated, but it was too late and the flow of fire had not yet calmed down.
In such a situation...it seemed that just before Xu Zhuang arrived, the whirlpool of earthly fire dissipated.
Xu Zhuang was alert, and sure enough, in the next moment, a scorching meteor shot out from the ground fire. Xu Zhuang suddenly activated his escape light and moved to the side. The scorching meteor also deflected, but it did not hit him after all. In the middle of Xuzhuang, I passed by Xuzhuang, and the hot wind blew towards Xuzhuang, causing his aura to sway.
After the scorching meteor flew away, it plunged into the fire and disappeared. Xu Zhuang's expression did not change, but he had already carried his magic power. He picked up a magic weapon with one hand, lowered it a little, and shouted coldly: "Open!"
In an instant, a majestic power came out of the body, and there was a roar of ground fire. The waves of flames parted and parted for a moment, revealing a hundred-foot hollow. A red-haired Taoist stepped on the turbid flames and appeared. The man didn't pay much attention, with a sinister smile on his lips, and he made a secret with one hand. Dozens of scorching flames lit up in all directions, front, back, left, and right, and immediately shot down like rain.
"Monk of the Demon Sect?" Xu Zhuang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his Taoist skills were born in a moment. Pure white smoke floated from the front and back of him, turning into small mist balls. With a slight shake, they shot out like missiles. Fire shot out in all directions.
Without even saying a few words about the scene, a fight was about to break out. The burning fire and the Qianjun Dharma Qi collided in the air, and a cluster of open flames exploded. Sparks flew and dust flew. Immediately, the Qianjun Dharma Qi penetrated from it, It circled around in the air and struck at the red-haired Taoist.
The red-haired Taoist's face was slightly shocked. Unexpectedly, the smoke ball, which seemed to be floating lightly, could easily scatter his Taoist skills, and its power was not reduced. He immediately did not dare to underestimate him, and with a flash of flames under his feet, he lifted his body and ran away. .
The next moment, dozens of Qianjun Dharma Qi flew towards him, following the escaping light. He frowned with his thick eyebrows like fire, flicked his sleeves, and a puff of turbid air sprayed out, towards Qianjun. Once the Fa Qi was in a cage, the Qianjun Fa Qi seemed to have lost control and flew out randomly like a headless fly.
The red-haired Taoist was just feeling distressed when he saw a powerful beam of Dharma Qi flying more than a hundred feet away and hitting the stone wall with a bang, causing the whole cave to shake instantly.
Xu Zhuang looked up and saw falling rocks falling like rain and falling into the sea of fire. He frowned and thought, "It really can't be used in this cave."
He has magical powers that are extremely powerful and brilliant. Qianjun Dharma Qi is one of his rare ordinary methods. But if he uses it at will, I am afraid it will destroy the underground cave and affect the surface of the earth who knows how far away. Not that it would happen, but if it affected another of his clones to refine the magic weapon, he couldn't accept it.
"It seems that it is not easy to capture this person." Xu Zhuang's eyes flashed, he activated his escape method, turned into a bunch of flowing fire, escaped into the sea of fire, and chased forward under the cover of the fire.
While Xu Zhuang was thinking about it, the red-haired Taoist saw the Qianjun Dharma Qi hit the stone wall, causing the cave to shudder. He couldn't help but feel his face jump, and secretly screamed in his heart: What a powerful Taoist skill, but luckily he didn't force it. catch.
He looked back into the field, only to see that the figure of the Taoist in white had suddenly disappeared, and he didn't know where he went.
"Not good." The red-haired Taoist was slightly startled. He immediately stopped hesitating and stamped his feet hard. The flames rose up under his feet and burned all over his body in an instant. He looked like a burning man.
The next moment, a stream of fire suddenly escaped from the sea of fire. Xu Zhuang appeared and pointed downward. A magnificent sword light burst out. Hundreds of sword energies were divided into the air, and they were connected in series. It seemed to be woven into a sword net, and it seemed to turn into a storm. It fell down and immediately cut the red-haired Taoist into hundreds of pieces.
The strange thing is that the man was torn to pieces by the sword energy, but no bones and blood were seen, only clumps of turbid fire turned into hundreds of flying flames, and fled in all directions.
"Oh?" A strange color flashed in Xu Zhuang's eyes, but his movements did not slow down. The sword energy exploded in the air, and he chased after him, killing dozens of flying flames. Only then did he see the farthest flying flame flicker, red hair. The Taoist jumped out of it, struck with his backhand, extinguished the sword energy, and disappeared into the sea of fire.
Xu Zhuang glanced at him, flicked his robe, and then turned into a magnificent sword light and shot away. He cut through the sea of fire and chased for a mile or two, but could not find the figure of the red-haired Taoist. He used the small trace-finding technique and received it. Under the influence of the earth's fire and turbid qi, the work was not completed, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
"He got away unexpectedly." Xu Zhuang stopped his sword escape, but he didn't seem annoyed at all. Judging from the red-haired Taoist's skills, he was also a person who had reached the second level of Nascent Soul. How could he be so easy to deal with.
In order to prevent Xu Zhuang from destroying the underground cave, affecting the underground fire, and destroying the refining of his magic weapon, many powerful methods could not be used, and it was normal for him to escape.
Xu Zhuang turned around and looked around. He saw that the earth fire had stabilized and was getting stronger again as the earth energy grew. He nodded secretly.
The previous earth fire weakened, and it must be that the red-haired Taoist did something sneaky, but since he has been expelled, he is too lazy to find ways to remove demons and defend the way. Of course, if he does it again in the hands of Xu Zhuang, it will be easy It’s hard to say.
After surveying the ground fire situation and seeing that there was no risk of extinction, Xu Zhuang was not in a hurry to turn back. He calculated the time and found that it would take more than ten days to refine the treasure. In order to prevent the man from returning again, he decided to It's better to patrol nearby, so as not to spoil the big thing.
While Xu Zhuang was following the cracks in the ground one by one, the red-haired Taoist had left the vast cave from another direction and appeared. He was not seen using any means of self-defense. He was walking naturally among the underground fire. He stood, frowning and thinking: "I suddenly had the idea of killing people to practice magic, and I unexpectedly provoked an opponent with good Taoist skills. I don't know who he is, how he came here."
Stroking his red beard with his big hand, the man's heart suddenly moved, and he thought to himself: "That man suddenly came here after I collected the earth fire. Could it be that he was refining treasures on the fire veins?"
Suddenly, there was a hint of greed in his red eyes. He thought for a moment and thought: "Although the human technique is good, how can I be so easy to mess with? If I hadn't refined the fire element before. It consumes too much mana, so there is no need to temporarily avoid its edge."
"Besides, I already know that human technique, but it's not difficult to find a way to deal with it. I'll find another gap in the ground, get out of here first, and then set an ambush at the exit of the fire vein. Why worry about not being able to do it?" He thought. After thinking about it over and over, I felt that I was getting more and more certain in my heart. He smiled, shook his body, and turned into a black smoke to find the gap in the ground.
