Daolin was condescending and watched countless monks die tragically under the fangs and blades of evil eating beasts and lost monks. He couldn't help but sigh: "Amitabha! Good! Good! If I don't go to hell, who will?"
After saying this, golden light suddenly burst out from his body, like a blazing little sun!
"Thousand-Armed Tathagata Palm!"
In an instant, countless golden palm shadows exploded in all directions with him as the center, like the scorching sun shining on the earth. These palm shadows are very powerful, and they can also automatically pursue the enemy. The evil eating beasts and lost monks that were hit all turned into clouds of black dust and disappeared with the wind in the blink of an eye!
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Ling Ning wouldn't have believed his eyes. Such miracles were naturally beyond the scope of the pill formation stage. Then, what Daolin had to face next was... the strangulation of the Xuanyuan Sword Formation!
"Master!" Ling Ning saw that Daolin not only did not stop, but the golden light became even brighter. Apparently, he had ignored the consequences of being strangled by the sword formation and devoted all his efforts to destroying demons!
In a matter of seconds, all the evil-eating beasts and lost monks within a radius of several miles were wiped out! Even Xuanyuan Jue and others who were far away felt this fluctuation.
"Mei'er..." Zi Chen stopped and looked back. He didn't know what happened to Qian Mei'er.
"Brother Zichen, don't delay!" Jiang Kui took his arm and whispered.
Zi Chen reluctantly withdrew his gaze, and the group continued to move forward.
The golden light converged, and Daolin slowly landed on the ground. The remaining monks from all directions knelt down and shouted, "Holy Monk Appears!", "Thank you Holy Monk!", "Holy Monk has mercy!"
Daolin had no intention of responding. He stared nervously into the air, waiting for the Xuanyuan Sword Formation to arrive. But the expected sword formation did not appear, and there was not even the slightest ripple.
"The Xuanyuan Sword Formation didn't appear?" Ling Ning came to Daolin and said strangely.
Daolin's face turned ugly, "No! The Xuanyuan Sword Formation has failed!"
"What? The sword array failed? How could the Xuanyuan Sword Formation fail? We only saw its power not long ago!" Qian Meier said in confusion.
She, Fan Ji and Ling Xi had indeed witnessed the sword formation strangling several monks not long ago.
Daolin shook his head, "I'm going to find out what's going on. Be careful not to follow me!"
After saying this, he moved towards the direction of Jiuyou Evil Sect.
"I want to go too!" Ling Ning knew that something big was going to happen, so naturally she didn't want to miss it.
"Hey, Xiao Ning! Don't leave me!" Qian Meier didn't want to be separated from him, so she chased after him.
Without saying a word, Xia Shiqing also chased after him.
"You all are going to find something fun, and I'm going too!" Zi Ling loves the excitement the most, so naturally she will go along with this kind of thing.
Fan Ji and Ling Xi looked at each other. The former had a very different mentality after experiencing the "Golden Eyes" incident. She sighed slightly: "To be honest, I'm not very interested in this kind of excitement."
Although Lingxi wanted to join in the fun, her strength was still a little behind after all. She could only shake her head and sigh: "Although I want to join in the fun, my life is still at stake... I hope one of them can win the Xuanyuan Sword..."
Without the threat of the Xuanyuan Sword Formation, Ling Ning could finally move the true energy in his body as he wished. In fact, his strength has long exceeded the limit of the pill formation stage, but he has been deliberately suppressing it because he was afraid of attracting the strangulation of the sword formation, and now he has begun to truly show his strength.
He couldn't help but slow down when he saw Qianmeier and the other girls chasing after him.
"Why are you all following me?"
"Are you kidding me? Xuanyuan Sword might be born soon. How can you have this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to yourself?" Zi Ling said with a matter-of-fact expression, "Ah, I want to see my elder brother pick up Xuanyuan Sword with my own eyes. That’s it… then…”
"how?"
"When the time comes, I will let my eldest brother kill you first, this stinky man who stole someone else's fiancée!"
"you……"
Ling Ning was angry for a moment, but there was nothing she could do. Seeing the smug smile on her face, I knew that she was deliberately making herself angry.
"Sister Zi Ling... the matter between me and your brother... you know... we only have a relationship between brother and sister..." Qian Meier wanted to explain, but facing Zi Ling, a young girl who was not experienced in the world, she didn't know what she could do. Do you understand?
"Sister Meier..." Unexpectedly, Ziling put on an "I understand" expression, "I know..."
"You...what do you know?" Qianmeier asked.
"I know, because the way you look at your brother is different from the way you look at this stinky man!" Zi Ling said seriously, "But this is a marriage arranged by the Demon King himself. If you refuse, the consequences will be serious, you know What am I talking about, not just you, but also the whole family..."
Qianmei'er looked stunned. She didn't expect that Zi Ling seemed to be inexperienced in the world, but he thought much more than her.
"Zi Ling...I..."
"Sister Mei'er, you don't need to say anything. I know what you are going to say. I will not be partial between Brother Zichen and you... I hope the man you like can be strong enough to protect you and your tribe. …”
Qian Meier's expression was gloomy, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
Ling Ning felt uncomfortable hearing it. He didn't know how strong the Demon King was, but the clan they called him put a lot of pressure on him. Would Qianmeier give up being with him for the sake of the clan? He didn't know and didn't dare to think about it. All he can do seems to be working hard to become stronger.
Along the way, several people kept encountering attacks from evil eating beasts and lost monks. The closer they got to the Nine Nether Evil Sect, the more frequent these attacks became. It took them more than a day to reach the Nine Nether Evil Sect.
At this time, the sky was filled with blood red, and I didn’t know whether it was the moon or the sun hanging on the horizon. In short, it was bright red, which made people feel heart-stopping.
Looking from a distance, the entire Ten Thousand Ren Abyss was shrouded in a red energy shield. Thousands of people lined up to jump into the abyss, and then struggled and died in the bloody magma. It was like a scene of hell on earth!
"This... this is really cruel!" Zi Ling had never seen such a scene before, and her face turned pale with fear.
"Master Daolin is over there!" Xia Shiqing pointed not far away and saw Daolin talking to a dozen monks, none other than Xuanyuan Jue.
"Brother!" Zi Ling shouted and ran towards them. This sound also made Xuanyuan Jue and others notice them. When Zi Chen saw his sister coming, he naturally waved to her happily, but when he saw Ling Ning was there, his expression changed slightly.
"Brother Zichen." Ling Ning cupped her hands in embarrassment.
Although Zi Chen looked unhappy, he still returned the favor gracefully.
"Brother, long time no see, are you okay? You really ran out alone and didn't wait for me! Humph!" Zi Ling acted coquettishly at him, her little daughter's coquettishness made Xuanyuan Jue and others look at her. Also attracting their attention were Qian Meier and the equally beautiful Xia Shiqing.
"Brother Zichen, these are..." Xuanyuan Jue said, but his eyes kept wandering over Xia Shiqing, which was quite rude.
"This is...ahem..."
"Let me introduce you!" Qian Meier's mood improved after seeing Ling Ning, and she returned to her usual charming demeanor. Her beautiful eyes flashed, and she said with a smile: "This is my fellow junior, Shui Yue. Tian Lingning. This is my good sister, Xia Shiqing of Xiangzhu Mansion. As for her..."
"I say it myself! I say it myself! I am Brother Zichen's unique sister - Zi Ling!"
"I see, I have admired you for a long time! Let me introduce you to the Xuanyuan family - Xuanyuan Jue. This is my good friend, the descendant of Emperor Yan, the Jiang family - Jiang Kui."
Xuanyuan Jue only introduced himself and Jiang Kui. Although the remaining monks were good at cultivation, their status in his heart was still not worthy of his introduction.
"I didn't expect to meet so many beautiful people in this ghost place. If it weren't for the terrible scenery here, I would definitely drink three glasses of wine!" Jiang Kui laughed, quite a bit like a prodigal.
Ling Ning is also a lover of wine. Hearing this, he echoed: "How can three cups be enough? At least three hundred cups!"
"It turns out that my brother is also a good drinker! This is really like 'meeting an old friend in a foreign land'! Hahaha!"
"Amitabha!" Daolin's Buddha's name brought everyone back to reality.
Just listen to him say: "My dear benefactors, the Nine Nether Evil Sect has evil intentions, and we cannot just watch innocent people die. We must discuss strategies as soon as possible!"
Xuanyuan Jue said: "Since the Xuanyuan Sword Formation has expired, why don't we use our strength as master? With the cultivation of the mountain monk Xuan Yuan, he can decide the world with one strike, so why do we need to take action?"
Daolin shook his head and said: "This is just a clone of Lao Na. Its abilities are limited and not enough to break the barrier of Jiuyou Evil Sect."
Xuanyuan Jue said with a smile: "Master, I have several people who are aiming at the Xuanyuan Secret Realm. Since you can't solve it, Master, I can't help you!"
When everyone heard about Xuanyuan Jue, they wanted to stand by and watch. Except for Jiang Kui, Zi Chen and Xia Shiqing, everyone else was stunned.
Daolin frowned and said: "It turns out that the little benefactor is not here for the common people in the world, but for the Xuanyuan Sword. Alas, I was confident that I could break the barrier, but since no one is willing to enter the Nine Nether Evil Sect to subjugate demons, , what’s the use? That’s all, that’s all, let me try my best, even if I die, I can’t just watch all sentient beings die in vain!”
Xuanyuan Jue sneered and said: "Master, we are not ruthless. We have also tried to pull away those people, but to no avail. Moreover, you should know that every time Xuanyuan Sword is born, it is accompanied by a great disaster, and... hehe... …Since the three great immortals have come out to take care of everything, we shouldn’t waste our lives in vain if we have such a level of cultivation!”
Ling Ning had seen the White Phosphorus Immortal before, but she didn't know who the other two immortals were. He thought to himself: "It turns out that the Mortal Continent is not only protected by the Xuanyuan Sword Formation, but also guarded by three great immortals... But why don't the three great immortals come out to calm this situation now?"
Daolin shook his head and said: "That's good, that's good. It's useless to say more. Since the donors insist on standing aside and watching, let me go on my own!"
"Wait a minute!" Ling Ning couldn't bear it at first, and then became curious and wanted to find out what the Nine Nether Evil Sect was doing.
"Master, I am willing to enter the Nine Nether Evil Sect to find out what's going on!"
"Xiao Ning!" Qian Meier looked worried and quickly grabbed him.
"It's okay, I'll be right back!" Ling Ning knew that the palace master was by her side, so she naturally had no scruples.
"No! If you want to go, I will go with you!" How could Qian Meier be willing to let him take risks alone.
"Mei'er, no!" Zi Chen quickly dissuaded her, but he also knew that just persuading her was useless. He could only say to Ling Ning: "Ling...Brother Ling, you really don't need to take risks. The three great immortals will definitely do it in the end." Take action, you are so reckless, not only will you lose your life, but I am afraid you will also hurt others!"
Xuanyuan Jue and Jiang Kui saw that Qian Meier was quite nervous about this person named Ling Ning, but wasn't she Zi Chen's fiancée? For a while, the two of them couldn't figure out the relationship between the two people, and they didn't speak, just watching silently.
"Thank you Brother Zichen for your kindness, but I still want to find out. Mei'er, believe me! I can definitely come back alive! If you follow me, I will have a lot of worries, so why not wait for me here?"
"No, no! It's useless to say anything! I must follow!"
"And me!" This voice suddenly appeared, and everyone turned around to see one person staggering towards them, it was Su Jiu!
His face was full of exhaustion and he had many wounds on his body. It was obvious that he had just experienced a fight.
"Brother Su! You're still alive!" Ling Ning quickly went over to help him.
Su Jiu showed a rare smile and said: "Brother Ling, long time no see. I...I want to accompany you in too!"
Xia Shiqing pressed his veins to diagnose and treat him, and found that the true energy in his body was almost exhausted, and he only came here with perseverance. She couldn't help but frowned and said: "You'd better just stay here to recuperate. With your current situation You can’t use force at all!”
"No, I have to go! I...I still have many things to confirm..." Su Jiu naturally wanted to find Duan Changsheng again and ask about his life experience. After several days of contemplation, he accumulated so many questions that he had to ask them face to face.
Ling Ning sighed and said: "Brother Su, let me go for you! Although I don't know what you want to confirm, I will do my best to help you complete it! You believe me!"
Su Jiu looked into his eyes. After a moment of stalemate, she finally gave in. He moved his lips slightly to send a message to Ling Ning. Ling Ning was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then said: "Don't worry, I will definitely do it!"
Seeing them arguing endlessly, Daolin shook his head and said: "Countless people are going to die, but you still have time to argue. I will open a gap now, and you can decide what to do."
He flew to the barrier, then recited the Heart Sutra silently, and then inserted his hands that emitted golden light directly into the red barrier. A crack slowly appeared in the barrier!
Ling Ning rushed in without hesitation, Qian Meier followed closely behind, Zi Ling also wanted to go in but was caught by Zi Chen: "You are not allowed to go!"
"elder brother!"
"No means no!"
"snort!"
Zi Chen watched Qian Meier's figure disappear into the barrier, and suddenly felt a heart-wrenching feeling.
Just when the barrier was about to close, Xia Shiqing jumped into it in a flash.
…
Among the ancient ruins, there are five stone pillars, which are covered with moss. What is engraved on the stone pillar is the first great battle in ancient times - the Battle of Zhuolu between the Yellow Emperor and Chi You. In addition, ancient seals are also engraved on the stone pillars: "Chiyou rebelled without the emperor's order, so the Yellow Emperor conquered the princes, fought with Chiyou in the wilderness of Zhuolu, and then killed Chiyou... There were those who were disobedient in the world, and the Yellow Emperor conquered them, and brought peace to them. Just go away."
Suddenly, a ray of white light suddenly shone down, illuminating the central altar, and an illusory white figure suddenly appeared and disappeared. Then, another golden light shone down, also shining on the altar, and then an illusory golden figure also appeared.
"You are here." An old voice sounded in the empty ruins.
"Brother, long time no see." The golden shadow said.
"Hmph." The white shadow just snorted and did not answer.
"I called you here because the souls needed to open the Xuanyuan Secret Realm are enough, but before opening it, we must first take action to quell the disaster in Jiuyou." The old voice said.
"Do you want us to take action this time? Today's monks have lost the selfless spirit of the ancient times. They just want to sit back and enjoy the benefits. Hum..." The golden shadow sneered.
"Yes, this is really frustrating. However, there may be monks who will come forward this time, but we still have to control the situation secretly and be careful of losing control." The old voice said.
"It seems to me that Jiuyou wants to summon the demon god from ancient times to come. The nearby Xuanyuan Sword Formation has been corroded. This energy is very huge. Should we take action as soon as possible?" said the golden shadow.
"This is natural. Listen to my order, let's take action together and bury the Nine Nether Evil Sect in the abyss!" said the old voice.
"Okay, then I..." Before the golden shadow could finish speaking, the white shadow suddenly said: "I won't take action."
"What?" The golden shadow was stunned, "Third sister, what do you mean?"
"Huh, that's what it means literally." The white shadow said.
"Third sister, business is important. Put everything else aside first." There was a sense of majesty in the old voice.
"Yes, Third Sister. Let's put aside the grudges between you and me. For the sake of the common people, we must settle this matter as soon as possible." The golden shadow said.
"Business? Common people? Hahahaha! Isn't the current situation in Jiuyou the result of your connivance? Besides, what's the problem with the arrival of the devil? Boss, didn't your ancestors once have a close relationship with the devil? Who knows if you deliberately did this this time? In other words, I want the devil to come to the world again, just like in ancient times..."
"Shut up!" The old voice revealed anger.
"Shut up? I don't want to! What? Things have reached this point, why are you asking me for justice now? Don't you think it's ridiculous? Watching innocent people die without doing anything... Don't we do it every time? Is this like this? Hahaha! Common people? What on earth are common people? They are just tools to open the Xuanyuan Secret Realm!"
"Third sister! What's wrong with you? You've been behaving ridiculously recently, and you really have lost your status as an immortal! I heard that you were almost refined by a fledgling monk not long ago. What are you doing? You've forgotten your responsibilities as an immortal. "?" the old voice scolded angrily.
"Responsibility? I have forgotten it a long time ago! How many years has it been? For countless years, I have been alone in a dark cave... I have had enough! I have had enough of what responsibilities! I have also had enough of what immortals. !” The white shadow looked extremely excited.
After a moment of silence, the golden shadow said: "Third sister, do you still blame me for not giving you the Buddha treasure?"
"Yes! I blame you! I want to get rid of this damn fate, why don't you help me!" There was deep resentment in the white shadow's tone.
"It's not that I can't help you. I have put the Buddha treasure into Xuanyuan Secret Realm a long time ago. I can't take it out unless the secret realm is opened. Moreover, although the Buddha treasure has the power to cut off cause and effect, it requires a monk with profound Taoism to control it. If you give it to If I kill you, you will only suffer backlash! The Buddha treasure will also be destroyed. How can I be worthy of Master Shimo Teng who personally handed over the Buddha treasure to my care? How can I be worthy of the people who cultivate Buddhism in the world?" explained the golden shadow. road.
"I don't care! I have made up my mind. Whoever can help me get rid of this fate can get my approval! Otherwise... humph, even if he passes the test, he will never get the Xuanyuan Sword!" The white shadow said bitterly.
"Third sister..." the old voice spoke again, "Why are you like this?"
The white shadow was silent for a while, and finally said in a deep voice: "I'm pregnant."
"You are actually pregnant! You clearly know that as an immortal, you cannot keep the child no matter what. You... when did this happen?" The golden shadow said.
"I have been pregnant with this fetus for thousands of years, so there is no room for any mistakes!"
"So, you were almost refined by a monk last time because you wanted to use Buddhism to protect your pregnancy? Hey, Third Sister... you should know that only the master of the Xuanyuan Sword can help us achieve true liberation, so why not wait for it? The master appears..." Before the golden shadow could finish speaking, he was interrupted——
"How many years have I been waiting? Old toad, do you still remember how many years we have been in this world? Do you dare to carefully count how many years we have passed? I tell you, I dare not! Because every day I have walked through It's all torture to me! It's torture! So what about the owner of Xuanyuan Sword? It's not just to enslave us... Do you think they will let us go willingly? I don't care this time! Who can bring the Buddha treasure to me? I just admit that he is the master of Xuanyuan Sword, otherwise, humph, never think about me cooperating with you again!"
"White Phosphorus, you..."
The white shadow disappeared, and the golden shadow sighed heavily.
"Boss, if White Phosphorus refuses to take action, it's up to us alone..."
"Jin Chan, forget it." The old voice also revealed a hint of exhaustion.
"Boss, what do you mean?"
"To be honest, I'm tired too. I won't take action against this disaster again. Every time we take action, those brats on the mainland just sit back and watch... Then what's the point of our trial?"
"But this disaster is too serious. I'm afraid they..."
"Don't worry, if it gets to the point where it can't be dealt with, I will let go of the Xuanyuan Sword Formation, and then those old guys on Fairy Dust Continent will definitely take action."
"Hey, okay. Anyway, the master of Xuanyuan Sword must be recognized by our three great immortals, so that it won't fall into the hands of those old guys..."
The golden shadow disappeared, and the entire ruins fell into deathly silence again as if nothing had happened.
…
At the same time, under the 35-meter-high Qiyun Pagoda in the Jiuyou Empire and Zhaoti Temple, there were surrounded by monks who were sitting cross-legged and chanting sutras. These monks were all waiting for the arrival of the Buddha.
At this time, a woman's ambiguous and lingering voice suddenly came. This voice seemed to be absent, but it could endure for a long time amid the chanting of thousands of monks. Like a silk scarf floating in the rough sea, no matter how high-pitched the voice of the scriptures is, it cannot cover up this soul-stirring and melancholy sound. On the contrary, it makes the sound even more outstanding and sweet...
