It took Jiang Yuebai a full five days to translate all the witchcraft texts in the "Chaos Nirvana Technique", the thumb stone pillar and the jade slips left by Li Gu.
The witch script is more concise than the ancient script, and more complex than the tortoise-shell script. It is difficult to distinguish the shape and the word has multiple meanings. Jiang Yuebai translated it for seven editions. Finally, he deduced the previous and later texts and eliminated any errors and omissions, and finally got a more accurate edition.
There was so much information obtained from it that Jiang Yuebai didn't know where to start talking to Lu Nazhi.
Jiang Yuebai thought about it for a long time and decided to go to Xingchou to check it out first.
She walked out of the formation, came to the boundary with Xingchou, and called out to the other side.
After a while, Xingchou dispersed the black mist of demonic energy, still wearing a mask with red dragon patterns, her eyes were slightly tired, and her demonic energy was also very confused, which showed that she had been trying to practice the technique in the past few days.
"What do you want?" Xingchou said in a bad tone.
Jiang Yuebai glanced in the direction of the black coffin and said bluntly, "Let me ask you, is the person lying in there Zhu Jiuyou, the witch ancestor of your Zhangwei Mountain people?"
Xingchou's pupils visibly trembled, "How do you know the name of my witch ancestor?"
Jiang Yuebai nodded slightly. It seemed that was the case. He had extracted the jade slips that recorded witchcraft texts from Li Gu at various places in the ruins. Li Guan was obviously proficient in witchcraft texts, so he only copied the important parts.
The people of Zhangwei Mountain coexisted with the divine dragon Zhu Jiuyin. Therefore, the shaman ancestors of this lineage were given the surname Zhu and worshiped the Zhulong totem.
The origin of the Dragon Shepherd in the Azure Dragon Realm is the lineage of the Wu Clan.
This lineage can be traced back to the ancient times. At that time, several generations of shamans who could be called ancestors appeared in the tribe, but the most amazing and talented one was Zhu Jiuyou, who was born with a holy body of chaos.
Her origins cannot be traced, but are recorded in various murals and scattered records.
"Born in the wilderness, raised in a dragon's nest, given the Holy Body by Heaven, and given Zhu Jiuyin as his mother."
Zhu Jiuyin is Zhulong, so the witch ancestor later named himself Zhu Jiuyou.
In the ancient times where Zhu Jiuyou is located, the Qinglong Realm was not yet called the Qinglong Realm. It was in a state of desolation and chaos. There were many tribes, each with its own dragon clan that worshiped and coexisted with each other.
Zhu Jiuyou led Zhu Long to conquer and plunder everywhere. She was very domineering and cruel. She conquered the eight divine dragons under Zhu Long, unified the tribes in the entire realm, and made Zhangwei Mountain where she was a sacred place for the witch ancestors.
She extorted tyranny and asked various tribes to donate materials and treasures to build the Nine Dragons Temple as a place for her to practice. "Chaos Nirvana Kung Fu" was her main skill.
After figuring out the identity of the owner of the black coffin, Jiang Yuebai roughly deduced their current situation.
"Xingchou, can you really master this technique?" Jiang Yuebai asked again.
Xingchou tensed up and asked Jiang Yuebai, "Do you understand that technique?"
Jiang Yuebai admitted, "I know some witchcraft."
Xingchou felt that Jiang Yuebai was not lying, so she could not deceive Jiang Yuebai. No one here had achieved the necessary conditions for practicing the "Chaos Nirvana Technique".
Chaos sounds simple, but it is actually an extremely complex force. It cannot be created by simply combining yin and yang, humans, demons, five elements, etc.
Xingchou pondered for a moment and said, "Since you understand witchcraft, you should have seen the things on the thumb pillars of the entrance statue."
"The sun's candlelight and the taiyin's shadow give birth to the four-phase divine beasts and the four ferocious beasts. They are the ancestors of monsters. Only by gathering the power of the taiyin and the sun can chaos be born."
What is written on the thumb stele of the statue is the description of the lunar and sun.
"Now that you know everything, why are you asking me what to do? No one can master this technique unless..."
"Unless what?" Jiang Yuebai asked.
At this point, Xingchou could no longer hide anything, "Unless you have the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron with you, follow the instructions on the thumb stone pillar, serve as the master of the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron, become a slave, and offer sacrifices, you can use the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron to transform." A trace of chaos comes out."
Jiang Yuebai knew that the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron that Xingchou was talking about was the Black Cauldron in her hand.
"What do Tiantian Ding and Ding Nu mean?"
Xingchou's eyes were testing, "Have you found the tripod?"
"Asking out of curiosity." Jiang Yuebai's eyes were clear.
, she is best at pretending to be stupid.
Xingchou took a breath and said slowly, "That cauldron is the sacrificial cauldron of the Zhangwei Mountain people. It can swallow all things, turn the energy of flesh and blood into life, and merge it into chaos. However, only the witch ancestor can control that cauldron, and others can only become Ding slaves, keep offering sacrifices to the Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron. Once the sacrifices are not delivered or the supply is not enough, they will be devoured by the cauldron."
Jiang Yuebai suddenly thought of those keel bones in the keel pit.
"The tripod... spits out bones?"
Xingchou frowned, "How do I know? I've never seen the cauldron. If you get the cauldron, you'd better take it out. It's the only hope of leaving here."
"I told you I don't have one, and there really is that cauldron. Do you want to be a cauldron slave? What will you feed the cauldron with? With yourself or with me?" Jiang Yuebai said angrily.
Xingchou was speechless. He closed up the black mist of demonic energy with a wave of his hand and refused to talk anymore.
"I don't have much ability, but I have a bad temper."
Jiang Yuebai muttered and went back. Lu Nazhi was still practicing meditation, with the devilish energy all over his body carrying an extremely cold aura, freezing three feet.
Thinking of what Xingchou said just now, Jiang Yuebai thought it would be better not to use the cauldron rashly. When she broke Yinglong's restriction before, she plundered the spiritual energy, and the cauldron swallowed so much without spitting it out.
Moreover, even though the cauldron has been in the hands of the iron master Yi Zhengyang for so many years, he has never cultivated the energy of chaos. It can be seen that there are conditions for the cauldron to synthesize the energy of chaos. It does not mean that just throwing someone into it can produce the energy of chaos. .
Jiang Yuebai turned his head and looked at the black coffin above the abyss. It was perfectly integrated and seamless. There were no patterns on it. His spiritual sense could not penetrate it. No one knew whether it was Zhu Jiuyou inside.
"Destroy from chaos, arise from chaos."
Jiang Yuebai recalled the two sentences in the technique, and was very worried that Zhu Jiuyou was not dead yet, so he would use some method to achieve chaos nirvana.
There is a record in Li Gu's jade slip that Zhu Jiuyou once encountered a powerful enemy and killed the Zhu dragon beside her. It was also the only Zhu dragon in the world. After that, Zhu Jiuyou disappeared, and the Zhangwei Mountain tribe fell into pieces and gradually declined and died.
Jiang Yuebai sat down cross-legged, focusing all her attention on the roots of the white vine. She decided to explore the abyss.
Thousands of roots turned into filaments, breaking through the rock with force, and slowly penetrated from the rock wall under the abyss.
The abyss was very deep, and Jiang Yuebai's roots could not reach the bottom even if they reached their extremes, and could only vaguely feel the edge of the forbidden barrier.
Hair-like white vine roots penetrated the thick and rich black mist, like traveling through the seabed, drifting with nowhere to stay.
This black mist is indeed very similar to the black mist surrounding Xingchou.
Click!
The subtle sound of chains was heard, and Jiang Yuebai followed the sound and continued to move forward.
Bai Teng was suddenly blocked in the black mist. There was an invisible barrier preventing her from moving forward. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't break through and couldn't find any gap.
It's still dark ahead, and I don't know what's inside.
Jiang Yuebai thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered the scene of Li Kuan's photo jade, and the existence under the abyss sucked away Li Kuan's soul.
"It's a shame that the child can't trap the wolf!"
Jiang Yuebai's heart skipped a beat, and she used the white vine to sweep away the Disha Buddha Bag from her waist. The five ghosts had been refined into it by her.
In the black mist under the abyss, Jiang Yuebai tried to release a ghost cultivator.
Suddenly, a strong suction force came, and the ghost cultivator was instantly sucked into the darkness.
Jiang Yuebai took the opportunity to rush forward, but Bai Teng still hit the invisible barrier.
She gritted her teeth and released a ghost cultivator again. This time, when the suction force came, she rushed forward one step ahead of the ghost cultivator.
Ripples appeared in the black fog, and Jiang Yuebai successfully broke through the obstacle. The moment the barrier closed again, nine pairs of blood-red vertical pupils flashed in her "sight".
Alarmed by her intruder, nine pairs of sinister and bloody eyes looked over.
There was a sharp pain, and the white vine was cut off by the closed barrier. Jiang Yuebai's consciousness returned to his original body, and he broke into a cold sweat.
Is that... nine-headed dragon?
