She looked at the giant again, "Who are you?"
"Yao." The giant turned into ashes from his feet upwards, "Sir, I have no regrets in meeting you."
As Yao's last words came to an end, the entire memory picture completely collapsed.
She was standing in a real ironwood forest, and not far away others were waking up after falling.
"What's going on? What happened?" Yan Ling looked around blankly. After entering the Ironwood Forest, what he saw was the endless Soul Wood Forest. His desire for the Soul Wood made him so greedy that he forgot that this was Formation, it is extremely natural to become a woodcutter spirit in the forest.
"Why did this formation break on its own?" Although Li Ji was controlled, his mind was always clear. "Could it be that we just followed the memory and it automatically resolved it."
"I don't know." Xu Xiuming glanced around and asked Xu Xu if he was injured. Xu Xu shook his head and asked, "Is there another fairy? Where did Miss Shen go?"
At this moment, the six people discovered that Zhao Ning was missing. Li Ji felt it briefly and found that Zhao Ning was in the middle of the forest. Several people gathered over and saw Zhao Ning standing in front of a wooden pile. When he turned his perspective slightly, he saw An ancient axe.
"Divine axe!" Yan Ling was surprised.
But after taking a closer look, I felt something was wrong. This so-called divine ax was extremely ordinary, without any spiritual power. The ax body was still made of stone, but there were dark patterns carved on the ax head.
"It is really the ancient thunder pattern." Xu Xiuming murmured, "This magical ax may not be magical, and the material is ordinary, but it is not magical, but it is magical. It is blessed by the ancient thunder pattern. I am afraid it was specially made with the ancient thunder pattern. An ax for cutting down soul wood.”
Zhao Ning knew that this ax was not the sky-attacking ax in the giant's hand. It was just one of the axes left by thousands of souls to chop down the soul wood. After tens of thousands of years of baptism, it became the only one that carried the memories of that time. A magic axe.
She stepped forward and held the handle of the ax with one hand. The ancient thunder patterns on the ax body lit up. The thunder light spread all over the ax along with the dark patterns. With just a slight lift, the ax was held in her hand, but it was as light as nothing.
"Great, after getting this divine axe, we can finally cut down the soul wood and make a ferry to leave." The underworld demon Wei Shuo was happier than the five people present.
Wait, five people?
Zhao Ning raised her eyes for a moment, "Where is Jiang Yao?"
Everyone was stunned and looked at each other. Jiang Yao was indeed missing.
"That's not right. When the formation was freeing itself just now, Fellow Daoist Jiang came out with us." Li Ji asked doubtfully, "Have you seen his whereabouts?"
"No." Xu Xu shook his head, "Fellow Daoist Jiang seems to have lost his breath since he came out. I didn't notice him at all."
Yan Ling's face darkened, "Could he be trying to trap us?"
"If this is really the case, we must not let him board the soul canoe!" Nether Demon Wei Shuo was not worried at all that something would happen. How could the six of them here be afraid of Jiang Yao secretly causing trouble?
Zhao Ning's eyebrows froze, it was terrible.
She put the magic ax into Xu Xu's hand and said, "I'll go find Jiang Yao, and you guys will deal with the soul wood."
As he spoke, his body flashed and he reappeared three feet away. Several people shouted behind him, but the speed of recruitment was extremely fast, and he was almost out of the range of perception if he took another step forward.
"Miss Shen, be careful." Xu Xu reminded later.
"Meet outside Mingyue Mansion."
Zhao Ning only responded, and he was already outside the Mingyue Mansion. He flew up again and stepped into the void. When he was about to fall, the Chamoon Sword appeared under his feet and turned into a ray of light and headed towards the Blood Moon.
Under the reflection of the blood moon, hidden in the shadow, is a huge gate tower, surrounded by ancient beasts, connected to the sky and the earth. Under the gate tower, nine layers of clear light restrictions are superimposed. The ancient dragon pattern wanders on the restriction, flickering on and off. After the restriction, It was dark and nothing could be seen.
Jiang Yao stood in front of the Qingguang Restriction, clenched his fists tightly, and secretly cursed "Damn it", but there was no delay in his actions.
He picked up the magic weapon, and a huge phantom suddenly appeared behind him. The phantom had two heads and four arms. Two of the hands, one was holding a brush and the other was holding a long ruler. They flew with Jiang Yao's hand movements. But I saw the phantom drawing in the void with a pen, and the ancient cloud patterns were "broken" and superimposed on the ancient cloud patterns "broken", forming a mysterious pattern of unlocking.
"Explain it to me!"
Jiang Yao shouted, and the mark of the release of the ban rushed towards the nine-level ban. The ancient dragon mark continued to swim slowly until the mark of the release of the ban was close to half a foot, and suddenly the sound of dragon roar was heard.
He was startled. Before he could notice where he was going, he saw eight ancient dragon shadows staggered in front of the Unlocking Pattern. The two sides collided, and the spiritual light was so dazzling that they seemed to be trying to steal the brilliance of the Blood Moon.
The pattern of lifting the ban was completely shattered, but the eight dragon shadows still circled and wandered in front of the ban.
"Who!" Jiang Yao sensed someone was sabotaging him. As soon as he sensed it, he turned around and saw a ray of light rushing towards him very quickly. It passed over his head and slowly fell between the eight dragon shadows. Hearing another dragon roar, the eight dragon shadows merged in. Zhao Ning's palm, the brilliance fell and turned into a dragon's roaring whip.
"Shen Zhaoning!" Jiang Yao stared closely, "I have no enmity or enmity with you, why do you want to stop me."
"Today, whoever wants to break through the restrictions on the gate of Youdu must pass me." Zhao Ning said coldly, "Jiang Yao, don't you know, Youdu has been silent for hundreds of thousands of years. The gate of the capital is to release the resentful souls of the netherworld. In the past hundreds of thousands of years, we have no idea what kind of strange changes have occurred in the netherworld. If you unlock the restriction, can you do anything for the tens of thousands of ghost demons and Kyushu in the netherworld? Consider it for all living beings.”
"Shen Zhaoning, if I hadn't considered the underworld, I wouldn't be standing here today." The shadow behind Jiang Yao disappeared, and he lowered his hand, and what appeared was the long ruler in the shadow's hand. This long ruler was green all over. The circular pattern is engraved on it, which is simple and mysterious.
He pointed at Zhao Ning with his ruler, "Get out of the way."
Zhao Ning moved slightly, "Jiang Yao, no matter what your purpose is in entering the secluded world, you can't get in."
"court death!"
Jiang Yao looked fierce, and with a flash of his body, he was three feet closer to Zhao Ning. The long ruler struck Zhao Ning with lightning speed, but when the tip of the ruler touched three inches in front of Zhao Ning's forehead, He was held up by the handle of the dragon's roar whip.
Zhao Ning buckled the end of the whip backwards, gathered her true energy, and rose up, shaking her long ruler. Then she pressed down again, her body had bypassed Jiang Yao's suppression range, and then turned around, and the Dragon Roar Whip was swung out. , the whip is wrapped in thunder light, as if thunder punishment is coming to the world.
Jiang Yao didn't expect that he could not succeed in the attack, but was at a disadvantage. He was so angry that he opened his body and flew the long ruler into the sky. He pinched the magic weapon very fast, and the long ruler suddenly became three feet long.
"Zhangdi!"
As Jiang Yao shouted loudly, the long-foot spiritual light bloomed, but he saw that there was only room for a foothold, and the ground opened inch by inch, and huge energy impacted from the bottom up.
Zhao Ning flew up, and the shadow of the Dragon's Roar Whip was invisible, but the threat in the area half a foot around him disappeared, as if it had become a vacuum.
But at this moment, Chang Chi took the opportunity to rush towards Zhao Ning. The momentum was devastating, and the whip shadows intertwined into a network. However, under the impact of the momentum, Zhao Ning was thrown away and hit into the endless gravel suspended in the air. The rushing energy transforms the endless gravel into a stone prison that locks and condenses.
Jiang Yao snorted coldly, turned his hand, flipped the long ruler back, and was tempted to attack the restriction again.
However, he was hit by a huge boulder that suddenly flew out from the endless rubble. He was stopped for a moment, wrapped in a long whip, and thrown back into the stone prison.
But Zhao Ning appeared in the ban again.
Jiang Yao was shocked, but he didn't expect that Zhang Di's method did not trap Zhao Ning. He raised his hand and held it empty against the endless gravel, trying to recall the long ruler, but he felt countless obstacles.
As soon as he sensed it, he saw countless vines growing in the endless gravel, intertwining and climbing, forming new nets. Every intersection formed an ancient cloud pattern "forbidden", trapping the long ruler in it.
"The Devil's Crying Vine? Who are you?"
Zhao Ning did not answer, but asked Jiang Yao, "Jiang Yao, do you want to enter the Nether City so much for the Nether City, or to pay off your sins?!"
Jiang Yao froze for a moment, and even the movement of Zhao Zhangchi froze.
"Did you release the Blackwater River?!"
Zhao Ning questioned sternly, or this was not a question but an expose.
"The ruler of heaven and earth, the pen of the judge, the guardian of the ghost and the law of the earth." Zhao Ning's voice became colder again, "Jiang Yao, it's really a good opportunity. They are all from Youdu."
Zhao Ning had only read a few words about the first two in the Jiuzhou Chronicles, both of which were spiritual weapons that could be grown into spiritual treasures. However, this was not enough for Zhao Ning to judge Jiang Yao's purpose until the appearance of the Earthly Ghost. The Dharma is the true form of the Venerable, but Jiang Yao is obviously not the Venerable Yuanshen. That can only be another way to obtain the Dharma, using secret methods to transform the power of inheritance into the Dharma.
As Ming Yue Qi Ji said, Earth Warrior Ghost is a general term for the ghosts that guard the treasures of Youdu, rather than specifically referring to the three-headed and six-armed monster.
The ruler of heaven and earth and the judge's pen clearly point out Jiang Yao's inherited identity as an earth servant ghost.
"Miss Shen." Zhao Ning probably guessed the truth, Jiang Yao simply stopped being vague, "Whether it's for Netherworld or myself, only by entering Nethercity can the Blackwater River stop flooding. I know that in Nethercity It’s unpredictable, but I’d rather go in and give it a try.”
This was the reason why Jiang Yao had been hesitant before.
Hearing Jiang Yao say this, Zhao Ning's tone softened a little, "How did you know the solution lies in Youdu?"
"A year ago, I had no intention of entering Daxuan Mountain and entering Yiyi's mansion..." Jiang Yao said about the opportunity.
This Relic Mansion was similar to Mingyue Mansion in that it was located next to the gate of Youdu. However, at that time, Jiang Yao did not know the eighteen gates of Youdu, nor did he know that this Relic Mansion was connected to the gate of Youdu.
The Relic Mansion is an artifact tomb. The place has been half-ruined, with countless damaged spiritual artifacts of all kinds scattered around. Jiang Yao originally planned to put away all these damaged spiritual artifacts and sell them to the market for refining. Master, many weapon refiners like to study ancient damaged spiritual weapons in order to refine more similar powerful spiritual weapons, but Jiang Yao suddenly saw a weapon spirit in the weapon tomb. The weapon spirit was hidden in the damaged spiritual weapon. Spying on him.
In order to capture the weapon spirit, Jiang Yao found the weapon spirit itself and chased it to another ruins. He went deep into it and entered an underground space. There was nothing in the space except a long ruler inserted in the middle. Having traveled in the Netherworld of Cultivation for many years, I could immediately recognize this as the legendary Ruler of Heaven and Earth.
But he suspected it was a fraud, and after several tests, he really saw the two-headed and four-armed Earth Warrior Ghost roaring towards him. With Jiang Yao almost risking his life for half of his life, he finally detained the Earth Warrior Ghost and used a secret method to kill the Earth Warrior Ghost. Shigui changed to discovery, and there was also the judge pen of the ghost on earth.
He originally thought that the Earth-Servant Ghost was the only threat. Once the threat was eliminated, the Heaven and Earth Ruler would naturally be available.
But Jiang Yao didn't expect that after Jiang Yao pulled out the ruler of heaven and earth, as soon as he walked to the entrance of the cave, he saw gurgling black water pouring out of the place where he pulled it out. Jiang Yao was surprised for just a moment, and the black water gathered into a black pool in the underground space, gushing out. Unable to resist the force, Jiang Yao almost lost his soul in the black water and used his painstaking escape technique to escape. However, after escaping from Taixuan Mountain, he fainted due to serious injuries. Fortunately, he was rescued by a nearby ghost demon and went into seclusion again. It took a year to recover.
But unexpectedly, as soon as he came out of seclusion, he found that the land of the netherworld had changed drastically, and the Blackwater River was flooding.
"I thought about it later and realized that it must be the nameless weapon spirit that seduced me into Youdu, and the ruins must be the gate of Youdu." Jiang Yao gritted his teeth. If he hadn't been greedy for this weapon spirit, he wouldn't have been carrying the whole body today. Cause and effect, "As long as I insert the ruler of heaven and earth back into the spring, the gushing force of the black water river will definitely stop. It's just that the gate of Youdu in Taixuan Mountain has been submerged by black water, and you can no longer enter from there, so you can only You can enter through this door."
Jiang Yao pointed at the complete Youdu Gate in front of him. As long as the Youdu Gate under Taixuan Mountain was in this condition, he would not break in accidentally.
"I can understand the urgency of Fellow Daoist Jiang to solve the problem of the Heishui River. However, I am not talking about whether you can prevent the Heishui River from continuing to flood after inserting the Heaven and Earth Ruler. I just ask you, what should I do about the Heishui River that has already flooded? It will not flow back into Youdu."
Zhao Ning looked at him and asked again in his slightly troubled expression.
"You go deep into the Nether City alone, and I will ask again, if you die unfortunately, who can find the ruler of heaven and earth in the endless Nether City, and then find the spring in the overflowing black water, and finally seal the spring?"
Jiang Yao was silent.
"As of now, the flooding of the Blackwater River has become a fact. It is even more impossible for one person to solve the problem of the Blackwater River." Zhao Ning collected the Dragon Roar Whip and gave him a suggestion, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, if there is really a problem, For this responsibility, it is better to inform the Nether Cultivation World and gather all the power of the Cultivation World to resolve this matter."
Chapter 185
A message to the world of cultivation? This is impossible. Jiang Yao's face was slightly distorted. Didn't this make him a public enemy in the Netherworld of cultivation?
"Haha. Miss Shen's thoughts are too noble." Fortunately, Jiang Yao did not fall out immediately. He just stared at Zhao Ning with a rather unhappy expression.
Zhao Ning said calmly, "Fellow Daoist Jiang, you should be lucky that the Blackwater River appeared in the Netherworld of Cultivation, and all the Netherworld demons knew the danger of the Blackwater River, so as soon as it appeared, it was avoided by the Netherworld demons, and there was no How many casualties will there be? My proposal is just to tell you that this is the fastest and most secure solution."
She saw Jiang Yao's reluctance and said, "It's okay for Daoist friend Jiang not to inform the Netherworld of Cultivation. But, maybe you can unite enough strength to do it, or maybe you bear the karma. This is the only option."
Jiang Yao looked at Zhao Ning and said, "Miss Shen, she was born in the sect."
Zhao Ning looked back at him.
"Only cultivators born in the sect can say the ridiculous word 'unity'. For casual cultivators, we have to rely on ourselves for everything."
He stared at Zhao Ning, "What if I don't listen?"
Zhao Ning was not angry because of this, "If you don't listen, take a look at what is behind the gate of Youdu."
However, Zhao Ning pressed her palm backwards and somehow triggered the restriction. However, the restriction did not seem to cause any harm to her. Instead, the ancient dragon pattern moved faster. The dragon's head stuck to Zhao Ning's palm, and then Huo Ran rushed forward. They let out a roar, and at this moment, they saw a huge monster with three heads and six arms appearing within the restriction. The monster had a terrifying appearance, peeping down from above, and with just one glance, it seemed to press them into the mud.
"Jin... the Earth Warrior Ghost of the Golden Core Realm." Jiang Yao was shocked. He did not expect that there were Earth Warrior Ghosts of the Golden Core Realm stationed behind the gate of Youdu.
However, he saw that the Earth-Serving Ghost suddenly punched the restraint, and the restraint burst into light and shook violently, but fortunately there were no cracks. The Earth-Servant Ghost was still blocked inside, and his roars and screams The sound was deafening and penetrated the restrictions, as if it was going to crush them with the sound.
Jiang Yao's eyes turned frightened after all, and he finally realized that if he had forcefully opened the restriction just now, regardless of whether he had opened the restriction or not, even if he was lucky enough to get in, what was waiting for him would be the fist of the earthly demon that would destroy the world.
Zhao Ning saw the wavering in his expression and asked again, "Now, fellow Daoist Jiang, do you think your own life can convince you to give up entering the gate of Youdu?"
Of course, no one is willing to risk their lives to do this. Besides, Jiang Yao went to re-seal the Heishui River just to resolve the cause and effect and save his life.
Jiang Yao fell into despair for a moment. Since the gate of Youdu cannot be entered, what to do with the Blackwater River? Is it really because of an unintentional act that his cultivation path will end here?
