After collecting his spiritual roots, Xu Zhuang quickly left the ninth heaven without stopping. After crossing the heavenly gate, he suddenly noticed that the scenery had changed.
Xu Zhuang thought for a while, cast a spell to close the Duxu Palace, and revealed his figure. He raised his eyes and looked around. This place was very different from the previous cloud realms. He could see that there were mountains and rock walls in all directions, with three or two caves on them. , a few holes, but nothing else.
Xu Zhuang's Yuanshi searched along several holes and caves. There were thousands of twists and turns, criss-crossing, and extremely complex. It was like a natural maze.
Obviously, this is not a cave on the mountainside, but within a larger boulder, star, etc., there is a more possibility——
This world is an unimaginably huge, boundless 'stone'. Once you enter this realm, you can only move within this stone.
Xu Zhuang couldn't help but frowned. He could have gone straight through the first few heavens without stopping, but the terrain in this world was so complex. Even if he didn't have the intention of looking for the spiritual object, he would probably be delayed if he just found the way in. A lot of effort.
This was undoubtedly contrary to his purpose, but now that the matter was over, there was no turning back. Xu Zhuang's thoughts quickly changed and he made a decision. He chose a cave at random and turned into a white rainbow and flew in.
He had taken a closer look at these rock walls and found that they were not rare treasures. In fact, it was easy for Xuzhuang to forcibly open a road or use earth escape to escape among them.
However, traveling aimlessly is not necessarily more efficient than walking along the rope, and when Xu Zhuangyuanshi explored the stone path, he also discovered some unexpected signs.
Xu Zhuang flew into the stone path, turning left and right as if with purpose. However, his flight speed became slower and slower, and his eyes gradually showed a look of thinking.
His vision should be unmistakable. Although it seems that they have gone through an unknown age, there are indeed many of these stone paths, which seem to be "man-made", and they must be using flying swords and sword energy.
He turned left and right, not taking any road, but the sword path left in history.
"Could it be that in ancient times, there were people who entered here?" As he moved forward, Xu Zhuang's sword path became clearer and more certain, and he soon discovered that the paths opened by these flying swords were very long ago. , but the sword energy, or the flying sword, seems to still be moving in this 'sword path'.
This is a strange feeling. In fact, there is not even a trace of residual breath or energy along the way, but Xu Zhuang, as a swordsman, can also be called everyone's figure, seems to be able to see that 'sword' suddenly. Pictures coming and going vertically and horizontally.
"Could it be left behind by ancient sword cultivators?" Although he had never heard that the Eighteenth Layer Palace had ever appeared in the world, the flying sword seemed to have nothing to do with the spiritual beings that did not exist in this world. Xu Zhuang could only make this conjecture, and in his heart Suddenly I felt a little interested.
But he didn't expect that at this moment, a rainbow light suddenly shot out from Xu Zhuang's bun, which seemed to have grown half a foot, showing a sharp edge.
Xu Zhuang couldn't help but smile. This Taiyi boy was really enjoying himself. He wasn't doing it for some ancient flying sword, but because——
For him, the spiritual objects of the Eighteenth Layer may be of infinite use, but the legacy of ancient sword cultivators is more likely to give him some spiritual light. If he can obtain the ancient swordsmanship that has been lost in this world, it will be a precious stone from another mountain.
As if sensing what Xu Zhuang was thinking, the Taiyi Rainbow Light Sword became silent again. Xu Zhuang couldn't help but shake his head. Then he used Da Luo's spiritual light, deduced the path of the sword, picked up the Escape Speed and searched for it, making several twists and turns. , and in a moment, he had followed the sword path thousands of miles away, but he didn't expect to find anything.
Could it be that there was something wrong with his perception? After all, there was an unknown amount of years between them, and perhaps all the sword energy had been eliminated. Xu Zhuang was thinking about it while he was flying away. He didn't know how far away it was for a moment, and suddenly his heart moved.
Along the way, I didn't find the 'sword', but I didn't expect to find traces of others.
Xu Zhuang pondered for a moment and had a guess. He chased after the light and turned back to the rock. The man seemed to have noticed it and stopped. Xu Zhuang escaped into a natural cave and saw a Taoist priest inside. Turn around.
This Taoist looks like a man in his thirties, with a calm demeanor and an aura as deep as the sea. He wears a lotus crown on his head, is covered with many treasures, and has a wisp of golden smoke at his feet. The treasures are flowing around his body, and his appearance is extraordinary.
"It's this person." Xu Zhuang couldn't help but said to himself.
It turns out that the person here is not He Zaidao, who else could he be?
"Huh?" He Zaidao noticed that someone was chasing him, and he was already on guard. Suddenly, he saw Xu Zhuang stop hiding, but there was a look in his eyes. After a while, he raised his arms and bowed, without saying anything else, just slowly He said: "I have met Master Dao Miao."
Xu Zhuang smiled slightly and returned the courtesy: "Zai Daozi is so polite. You and I are of the same generation and fellow Taoists."
"I have heard about Taoist friend for a long time, and now I finally meet him. I heard that Taoist friend once went to Taisu and his party. It is a pity that the poor Taoist was in Guanzhong that day and could not greet me. Otherwise, it would be fun to sit quietly and talk about mysteries, burning incense and discussing Taoism."
He Zaidao also had a smile on his face. He never thought that it was only today that he would meet Xu Zhuang for the first time, and in such a situation.
"I have been friends with Taoist friends for a long time." He Zaidao seemed to be feeling emotional and said with a smile: "The poor Taoist has been through life and death. I finally caught up with my Taoist friends. Then I heard that I survived the wind disaster and defeated the Styx River. Real feats can only be admired.”
"The world ranks me as a double arrogant, and I am really ashamed of myself."
Xu Zhuang also didn't expect that He Zaidao would make such remarks, so he had to respond: "My Taoist friends are serious in their words. You and I are both seekers of the Tao, so it doesn't matter whether it's time or time."
He Zaidao smiled, didn't say anything more, and turned to ask: "Fellow Taoist came very quickly, I don't know what to gain."
This seemed to be a bit over the line, but Xu Zhuang just raised his eyebrows and responded: "I was lucky enough to harvest an innate spiritual root. I wonder if my friend was the first to get it?"
"Oh?" He Zaidao looked surprised, and first praised: "Fellow Taoist, you are indeed blessed with profound blessings." Then he said: "I have gained a little bit, but unfortunately I have reached this point, and maybe my blessings have been exhausted. No luck."
"Is it a predestined relationship?" Xu Zhuang didn't comment and just asked, "In that case, are fellow Taoists looking for a way forward here?"
"That's not the case." He Zaidao shook his head and said, "I have stayed here for a long time and have already found the location of the Tianmen."
Xu Zhuang was slightly surprised. The Eighteen Layers of Que was passed down from ancient times and came from the creation of the supreme power. He Zaidao believed that it was necessary to look at the law of fate. It was not without his reason.
But that being the case, why would He Zaidao bother to stay here? Could it be that he is still trying to force himself?
As if he could see what Xu Zhuang was thinking, He Zaidao suddenly said: "Do you know the origin of the things in this world?"
Xu Zhuang said: "Does Taoist friend know something?"
"It is indeed true." He Zaidao said: "But it is not what fellow Taoist thought. It was only after Pindao came to this heaven and made several investigations that he found many signs, which were very similar to a spiritual object recorded in our Lingbao Sect. resemblance."
Xu Zhuang said in surprise: "According to what I heard, the ancient immortal saints opened up eighteen levels of heaven and contained spiritual creatures. They were all created by them. They did not exist in the world, so how could they be left in the records?"
He Zaidao smiled slightly and said: "Yes, such spiritual creatures do not exist, but after being created by those immortal saints, don't they already exist in the world?"
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang frowned. Indeed, just like those aliens, although they are creatures of creation, they can still reproduce and continue.
However, reproduction is the ability of life itself, and it seems that it cannot be equated with spiritual beings. If those with supreme power create a spiritual being, then this spiritual being will naturally appear somewhere in the world. Doesn't it mean...
Having realized the great power of "Xuan Kan Creation, Dharma and Law of All Things", has the ability to rewrite the Great Dao?
Xu Zhuang is not an uninformed Sanshu, and he deeply understands what this concept is. If this is true, then he is probably not a person who has achieved the fruit of heaven and humanity, but an immortal who has achieved the supreme karma!
However, Xu Zhuang's thoughts changed and he suddenly realized that maybe he had misunderstood, and He Zaidao's words may not have meant this.
The Lingbao Sect has existed for a long time, and perhaps everyone has a certain understanding of the origins of the Eighteen Layers. There may be secret records that have been circulated, or...at the beginning of the founding of the Lingbao Sect, those Lingbao True Lords and Lingbao Lords who have been around for who knows how long. Bao Xianzun may have personally seen the spiritual objects created by that powerful person, and even tried to create them and even passed them down. This is not what outsiders know.
He Zaidao didn't know yet, but Xu Zhuang had already guessed a little bit, and just continued: "If my guess is correct, the spiritual creature in this world is also a kind of alien energy."
He paused and then said: "Fellow Taoist, you should have heard of the 'Baogang Qiyuan Body Holding Curse'. This magical power of our Lingbao Sect is similar to this kind of alien Qi."
Xu Zhuang believed that He Zaidao had no reason to lie to him. Although he didn't know why he told him, he still listened carefully.
"This Qi can absorb the magic weapon and transform it into a pure treasure. If a cultivator refines this treasure..."
"You can use the energy of this magic weapon for your own use, and increase a lot of Taoism without any impurity."
He Zaidao told what he knew, but he didn't look very excited on his face. He just said: "Not only that, after refining Baogang, you can also naturally develop a perfect natal magical power. It can't be ignored." Wonderful.”
Xu Zhuang frowned and said: "The magic weapon has a spiritual birth. Even if it does not take its true form, it is not a dead thing."
"If we really do these things to increase our moral practice and cultivate our magical powers, how is that any different from practicing murder?"
When He Zaidao heard this, he was not annoyed, but agreed: "What fellow Taoist said is true, but not everyone in the world thinks so."
"What do other people's thoughts have to do with me?" Xu Zhuang said.
"Well." He Zaidao said, "That's true."
Xu Zhuang shook his head and said, "I think fellow Taoists are quite attached to this Qi?"
He Zaidao did not lie, and nodded generously. He did not agree with Xu Zhuang's words, but he had other clever uses for this Qi.
"I have been staying in this world for a long time, and I really have no luck with it, so I have a thought." He Zaidao said: "If my fellow Taoist is willing to give it a try and see if he can find this Qi method, I will do my best to help."
"Of course, if fellow Taoist is destined to find this Qi, Pindao would also like to have the audacity to take a look at it. If fellow Taoist is willing to give it up, that would be even better. Pindao will never let fellow Taoist suffer any loss."
At this point in the conversation, Xu Zhuang had already anticipated He Zaidao's words. Without thinking much, he shook his head and said, "Fellow Taoist has no connections, and I may not be destined either."
"Besides, this Qi is of no use to me, so let's forget about it."
"So..." He Zaidao didn't seem surprised. He just sighed and said: "It seems that no chance can be forced. In this case, I won't delay my fellow Taoist."
Xu Zhuang cupped his hands and was about to leave. He Zaidao thought for a while and said, "Wait a moment, fellow Taoist, the Tianmen of this world is located here." Then he pointed in a certain direction.
"Oh?" Xu Zhuang saluted in surprise and said, "Thank you, fellow Taoist."
He Zaidao smiled slightly and said: "It's nothing but a little effort. If I stay in this world for a while, I may catch up later, and I still need guidance from my fellow Taoists."
"You must tell me everything you know." Xu Zhuang nodded slightly, stopped staying, and turned into rainbow light and escaped into the stone path.
He thought for a while, and instead of looking for the illusory ancient maintenance station, he simply went straight to the Tianmen pointed by He Zaidao.
This time, he was no longer distracted by flying swords or sword energy. He even forgot about Baogang and Yuan Qi mentioned by He Zaidao, and summoned a wisp of sword energy, which was like electricity between the stone paths. Tossing and turning, moving as he pleased, in just a moment, he had escaped an unknown distance.
Not long after, Xu Zhuang suddenly felt something and released his Yuan consciousness to explore. Sure enough, he had arrived not far from the Tianmen.
In fact, in this realm, even if they are both Xuanmen, they still have a vague identity as rivals. However, He Zaidao gave some advice, and Xu Zhuang is not the one to guess the heart of a gentleman. As expected, He Zaidao did not talk nonsense.
Xu Zhuang nodded slightly and went straight to Tianmen. However, when he got close, he was suddenly stopped.
In his perception, there seemed to be something rushing toward him with lightning speed, and its target was extremely clear.
Xu Zhuang's thoughts were spinning in his mind, and he finally pressed the escape light and looked back. Sure enough, after just a moment, his Yuan consciousness captured the sound of wind and thunder from the hole, and in the next moment, a bright sword light shot out of it. , go straight to Xuzhuang to kill.
"Buzz!——"
The Taiyi Rainbow Sword reacted instantly, spitting out the blazing sword light, and was about to burst out fiercely. However, Xu Zhuang showed a hint of surprise on his face, but he pressed Hong'er's action with a thought.
Xu Zhuang slowly opened his hand, and as expected, the sword light came close to him, circled around, and stopped in his hand, seeming to have lost its threat.
However, seeing this scene, Taiyi's Rainbow Light Sword seemed even more displeased. The sword's light did not shrink but grew longer, reaching out more than three feet. Xu Zhuang couldn't help but smile and said helplessly: "Hong'er, don't mess around. This is not flying." sword."
Before Hong'er could say anything, his eyes had returned to his palms, with a trace of thought in his eyes.
"I never thought that Pindao would meet a divine creature and choose its master. Is it really due to fate?"
Xu Zhuang muttered to himself, slowly raised his hands, and the sword light shrank and disappeared.
I have changed a lot, but I don’t know if it will be a mess.
