On the 'Remnant Map of the Void Sky', the originally blurry map disappeared and was replaced by the pattern of a small sword emitting golden light. The sword points northwest and projects a red line from the tip, extending directly to the edge.
This is obviously the guidance given by the residual picture, pointing to the location of Xutian Temple's opportunity. The three of them didn't waste a moment and flew towards their destination as fast as possible.
A month later, a certain stretch of empty sea suddenly became lively. Every now and then, a strange monk would fly here quickly, and then fly high into the sky with a look of joy on his face.
There, a majestic and magnificent palace was floating in the air, motionless. It is more than a hundred feet tall, and its entire body seems to be made of pure white and flawless jade. It is exquisite and gorgeous, and its appearance exudes a faint gleam.
The palace is located thousands of feet above the ground, and the surrounding void is shrouded in a thick layer of golden light, completely enveloping it. Only those monks holding the remnants of the Void Sky can successfully enter the golden light shield the moment they come into contact with it. Those who don’t have this picture can only stay away.
"This is the Xutian Palace. It is indeed mysterious and extraordinary." Not long after the three arrived, they saw at a glance the magical palace suspended in the sky like a beautiful palace.
Xu Qingcheng's eyes shone, and she couldn't wait to go there immediately, but was suddenly stopped by Mo Juren. She couldn't help but wonder, and then looked at the other party with a puzzled face.
"Let's go separately and pretend not to know each other when we enter, and then..." Mo Juren let go of his consciousness, scanned the nearby area, and then told his plan.
"Are you sure he will take the bait?" Xu Qingcheng's bright eyes flashed and she asked.
"It's a gamble. It doesn't matter if it doesn't work out. Just look for another chance." Mo Juren shook his head slightly. He had revealed the location of the 'Counter Star Alliance' to Ling Yuling before. Who knows what kind of impact it will have. This is the virtual reality. The trip to the Heavenly Palace might also change things, but he wasn't sure.
"Then let's do what you say." Xu Qingcheng thought for a while and did not object again. A burst of rich six-color strange light suddenly appeared around him, covering his entire body. The next moment, the light quickly dissipated, revealing another unfamiliar face.
"How is it? How is the effect?" He touched Ruyu's cheek and looked at the other party with a smile. Mo Juren looked at it carefully for a while, and then praised without hesitation,
"Being better than the old!"
"The disguise technique inherited from Miaoyin Sect is already very powerful. I made some changes based on it, and the effect is surprisingly good. With my level of cultivation, even a strong person in the late Nascent Soul can't easily see through it." Xu Qingcheng He touched his fair cheek and continued,
"Okay, I'll go ahead and see you later."
After saying that, he immediately flew away and soon entered the golden light shield.
"Let's go too." After waiting for a while, Mo Juren did not hesitate anymore and called Han Li to fly high into the sky together. The two people holding the broken map of the virtual sky easily passed through the restricted obstacles and entered it. Without hesitation, they flew straight to the palace in the center.
As it gradually approached, the overall view of the palace became clearer. Above the entrance, which was more than ten feet high, there were three huge silver ancient characters "Xu Tian Palace" engraved on it.
I don’t know who wrote these three words. The momentum is extremely amazing. The strokes of the strokes are vigorous and powerful. There is a terrifying edge in them. They are extremely sharp. Even though Mo Juren has a strong spiritual consciousness, he still feels vaguely after staring for a moment. Discomfort in both eyes.
Han Li next to him was even more unbearable. After just a few glances, he felt his eyes aching. He was horrified and immediately looked away, never daring to be careless again.
After passing through the huge palace door, what comes into view is a straight and narrow passage with no end as far as the eye can see. The entire body is still made of crystal clear jade.
What's strange is that the design of the passage is a bit weird. The width is only two or three feet, but the height is thirty or forty feet, making people walk into the center of it, which is extremely depressing.
Out of curiosity, Mo Juren also tried to use his spiritual consciousness to investigate. As a result, the moment he touched the wall, it was bounced back, unable to penetrate at all.
"It is covered with restrictions, which can completely isolate the spiritual consciousness from exploration." Han Li was obviously curious, and even stretched out his fingers to touch the jade wall for a while, feeling the terrifying spiritual power contained in it, and then said with a look of shock. ,
"Master's spiritual consciousness is powerful, can there be any gains?"
"You think too highly of me." Mo Juren shook his head slightly, and without any further delay, he asked the other party to move on. After about a while, we reached the end.
In front of their sight was an exit emitting aqua-blue light. The two of them passed through it one after another. When the blue light in front of them dissipated, they entered a huge square hall.
The hall is very large, three to four hundred feet long and wide, and extremely majestic. What's even more strange is that there are dozens of thick jade pillars erected evenly throughout the hall.
These jade pillars are not only huge in size and require at least several people to surround them, but each one is also carefully carved, with various rare birds and animals that have been seen or never seen engraved on the surface. Each one is lifelike and very agile. .
The number of monks who arrived here at this moment was only a few dozen, and almost most of them occupied a jade pillar, standing or sitting on it.
Xu Qingcheng was no exception and also occupied one of them. Seeing the figure of Master and Disciple Mo Juren, he only glanced briefly and then looked away, and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.
The situation in the hall is very special. The power of divine consciousness is completely suppressed, and the mana is also greatly affected, making it impossible to use it too much.
Mo Juren tried for a while and found that, except for some small spells such as floating spells, once more than a certain amount of mana is used, the mana will immediately leak out and the spell cannot be successfully cast.
In fact, even the magic weapon in the body is as dead as a dead thing and cannot be sacrificed at all.
"Is the restriction here so strong?" Mo Juren was slightly shocked. This was obviously beyond his expectation. He knew there were restrictions here, but he didn't expect it to be so terrifying.
Suddenly, he suddenly thought of a possibility. If he were to attack the Jiyin old monster here, wouldn't it be easy with his tyrannical physical strength?
If it were in the past, this would obviously not be possible. After all, Xing Gong, as the nominal owner of Chaos Xinghai, would not allow such a thing to happen, lest it cause public outrage from both good and evil.
However, it is different now. Now that they know the existence of the Counter Star Alliance, it is really uncertain what they will do.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little moved. However, he gave up such an idea in an instant.
The Xutian Palace is different from others. It is a common opportunity for the entire Luanxinghai cultivation world. It is not only the Xinggong, good and evil, but also the non-negligible cultivators.
Taking action here is tantamount to breaking the rules and will cause public outrage. Xing Gong may not be afraid, but he is not.
Now he is not alone. There are Wang Ying, mother and daughter behind him, and the entire Miaoyin Sect exists, so he naturally has scruples in his actions. If he really took action without hesitation, he would be acting like a provocateur. As long as the news spreads, I am afraid that the entire demonic path, even the righteous path, and the casual cultivators will transfer their anger to him.
This was not the result he wanted. No matter how he looked at it, the gain outweighed the loss. Moreover, he was not completely sure of the extent of its impact on Nascent Soul Stage monks.
As for Xing Gong, I guess he would be happy to see it work, but if it really attracts too many people's attention, there is a high probability that it will not protect him. If all forces join forces to force him, he and even the entire Miaoyin Sect may be discarded as pawns.
In short, don't think too much of Xinggong. The only one who can trust it 100% is yourself.
After weighing it in my mind for a long time, I finally gave up on this tempting opportunity. But it doesn't matter, just stick to the original plan, the goal is to get rid of the extremely evil old monster, it doesn't matter what method is used.
On the contrary, he was somewhat looking forward to it. He wondered if Star Palace would have the same idea after learning about the existence of the Counter Star Alliance? That would be great and save him the trouble of taking action himself.
Putting away his thoughts, Mo Juren didn't think any more and immediately chose one of the jade pillars and flew down on it. Han Li was no exception and also chose the adjacent one.
After sitting cross-legged, Mo Juren did not close his eyes to practice, but began to look around carefully. Although it is impossible to detect people's cultivation, they can roughly guess some information through their speech, behavior and temperament.
Basically, there are mainly monks in the pill-forming stage. There are not many monks in the foundation-building stage. I don’t know where they got the courage to enter here?
But two of them are different.
One is an old Confucian scholar with a yellow robe, white eyebrows, and a thin face. One of his hands is behind his back, and the other hand is holding a shabby bamboo slip and reading it with relish. He shakes his head from time to time, looking like a nerd.
The other person was a neat and beautiful middle-aged woman in a white dress. She had a beautiful appearance, but an extremely cold temperament. Her whole body exuded a bone-piercing chill, and she looked like she should not be approached by strangers.
At this moment, this frosty and beautiful woman was expressionlessly wiping a long black sheathed sword with an extremely focused expression. She was not interested in the arrival of Master and Disciple Mo Juren at all, and didn't even bother to take a look.
"It's them!" Mo Juren roughly guessed the origins of the two of them. The old man in Confucian attire was the Qingyi layman from Nanhe Island, and the middle-aged beautiful woman was the master of Baibi Mountain and the Taoist companion of the most powerful old demon of the Six Paths.
He has already had a detailed understanding of these two people, and he knows a lot of both overt and covert information. Especially Mrs. Wen, her relationship with Liudao is very subtle, and they almost never interact with each other until death.
In the past, Mrs. Wen was deceived by Liu Dao with sweet words, but it turned out that she was just using it for the purpose of practicing cultivation. After using it, she discarded it like worn out shoes, naturally full of hatred in her heart. It's a pity that he is helpless because of the other party's strength.
Women are all sensitive, not to mention that Mo Juren did not hide his gaze at all, and the beautiful woman quickly noticed it. The jade hand that was originally wiping the sword suddenly paused, and then he looked up and looked back with a cold face. However, when their eyes met, and he saw clearly the unusually cold face of the other party, he couldn't help but be startled.
Mo Juren's expression remained unchanged, and he naturally cupped his hands as a greeting, and then looked away and ignored him. On the contrary, the beautiful woman immediately became thoughtful.
After a while, footsteps sounded again at the entrance of the hall, and immediately after, two figures walked in swaggeringly.
The moment he saw the two of them, Mo Juren's eyes suddenly narrowed, and the cold murderous intent flashed away.
The person who came was none other than his old acquaintances, the extremely sinister old monster and Wu Chou. The former was just a possessed body that day and did not show his true appearance. However, he had already done some research and recognized it at a glance.
I have to say that although the Jiyin old monster is not handsome, at least he is still good. Some people have the demeanor of a master, and somehow they have such ugly descendants as Wu Chou. Is it possible that there is a genetic mutation?
"Ancestor, it's him!" Obviously, Wu Chou also discovered someone's existence immediately. His ugly face suddenly showed excitement, and he immediately reminded his ancestor.
The extremely yin old monster's expression remained unchanged, and the cold murderous intent flashed through his slender eyes, but it was fleeting.
He didn't say anything, and turned to look at another location. His gloomy expression instantly dissipated, and he greeted with a spring breeze:
"It turned out to be Brother Qing from Nanhe Island and Mrs. Wen from Baibi Mountain. Wu Mou was disrespectful."
"What is there to be disrespectful about? Brother Wu's Jiyin Island family has a great cause, and Qing is far behind, so he can only come here to try his luck. After all, this opportunity only comes once in three hundred years, so it is really rare.
I also heard that this time Man Beard also got a broken picture of Xutian showing filial piety from others, and I'm afraid the same thing will happen. We old immortals rarely see each other, but we can take this opportunity to get together. "The old man in Confucian clothing slowly put down the bamboo slips in his hand and said with a bit of a smile.
"Man Beard is coming too?" Ji Yin frowned, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes.
"Yes! I heard that longevity is coming soon. Come and pick some longevity fruits. If you refine a few longevity pills, you can live for a few more decades..."
"That's true..." The old monster Jiyin sneered, then jumped into the air and flew straight to the pillar next to the old man. After that, he continued to chat with the other party wordlessly.
In contrast, Wu Chou's whole heart was focused on Mo Juren. After hesitating for a moment, his lips suddenly moved slightly and he asked via voice transmission:
"My surname is Mo, were you the one who opposed me at the Fengle Auction?"
"Didn't you already guess it?" Mo Juren didn't hide anything and also sneered.
"Sure enough, it's you!" After finally getting the definite answer, Wu Chou's murderous intention became even stronger.
Because of the other party's troubles and taking away the key resources he needed, the refining of the natal flying sword was delayed for many years. Not only that, because of that incident, not only was he reprimanded by his ancestors, but he also lost face in front of his subordinates, which was extremely hateful.
The last time, it was also because of the other party's presence that his plan to ambush the Miaoyin Sect completely failed, and two of his concubines also died at his hands.
The combination of these new and old grudges made him filled with hatred, and he thought about tearing the other person into pieces all the time.
Unfortunately, Miaoyinmen actually had an additional Nascent Soul stage in charge, so the original plan of immediate revenge had to be abandoned and they had to find another opportunity.
The original plan was to wait until the trip to Xutian Palace was over and take advantage of the general trend of the Star Sea Civil War before taking action. I never thought that the other party would actually come to my door. It was really asking for death.
He had just seen it, and the Supreme Elder of the Miaoyin Sect was not present. This is simply a God-given opportunity. It is just a piece of cake for the ancestor to deal with a monk in the Dan Formation stage.
As he thought about it, he became more and more excited. However, he quickly suppressed it. He didn't want to over-stimulate the other party, lest he quit out of fear, which would be more than worth the gain.
His eyes moved quickly, and the strange light disappeared in a flash, and he transmitted the message again: "Mo, although there is enmity between you and me, it is not irresolvable. How about a gamble?"
"..."
Hearing what the other party said, Mo Juren was immediately stunned. Can this be resolved? Is there something wrong with your brain, or do you think I'm easy to fool?
With his agility, he understood the other person's thoughts almost instantly. He was probably worried that he would run away and wanted to stabilize him.
"How do you want to bet?" Zuo Zuo was idle and bored. Since he had guessed what the other party was thinking, he was happy to cooperate. Sure enough, Wu Chou, who heard this, thought his plan had succeeded, and was overjoyed.
Still resisting the temptation to show it, he replied solemnly: "Xutian Temple is not a place where anyone can come or break into. There are many dangers here, and you will lose your life if you are not careful.
Since you have the opportunity to come here, it shows your courage. There is no need to bet on anything else. As long as you can break through the Ice and Fire Road, this young master will admire your courage. Not only will the past grudges be wiped out, but what about this young master also being willing to make you a friend? "
"Binghuo Dao!" Mo Juren narrowed his eyes slightly and continued to send a message, "That is extremely dangerous. Mo is only in the late stage of pill formation, and he came alone, so it was a bit rash to enter. My original plan was also It’s just that after passing the Ghost Mist Pass, it won’t continue anymore.”
"My conditions have been stated. If you don't agree, forget it. However, don't blame me for not reminding you that not everyone on Jiyin Island can be bullied. If you suffer such a big loss, you will take revenge sooner or later. "Hearing that the other party only planned to retreat after passing one level, Wu Chou suddenly felt anxious and immediately sent a threat.
After a pause, he changed the topic again,
"Ice and Fire Dao sounds scary, but it's not that exaggerated. As long as you prepare the corresponding restraint magic weapon in advance, the possibility of passing is extremely high. Besides, you don't have to hide your clumsiness. Our ancestors once commented privately that your strength should be regarded as Nascent Soul. How could the first person below him not be able to pass?
It is said that there are many opportunities after the Ice and Fire Road, and there are countless rare treasures in it, which are all left by ancient monks. Aren't you excited? "
The coercion and inducement really worked. Mo Juren seemed to think about it for a while and immediately replied: "That's fine, Mo will play a bet with you."
"It's a deal?"
"It's a deal!"
Finally frightening the opponent, at this moment, Wu Chou felt that his resourcefulness had reached its peak. No matter how powerful you are, don't you have to fall into my young master's plan?
