"Brother, you are also going to Mount Sumeru to participate in the sacrificial ceremony."
Xu Ying was looking around when he suddenly heard a voice. When he looked back, he saw an old man and a young man walking towards this side against the wind.
The old man's long sleeves were fluttering, and his head was hairless and bald, with only a pair of bone balls growing on his forehead.
The young man was smart and handsome.
"Sacrifice Ceremony"
Xu Ying was moved and said with a smile, "Yes. I was also at the meeting to watch the ceremony. May I ask which famous mountain these two fellow Taoists are from?" The young man smiled and said, "We are from the Condor Palace. My name is Han Zekang and this is me. Master Fire Dragon Master.”
The bald old man, although not very good-looking, had a good temper and said, "Young man, where do you come from?" Xu Ying did not dare to hide anything and told the truth, "My name is Xu Ying from Shushan Sword Sect."
Master Huolong thought carefully and thought about it. He had never heard of this sect, but the world of Taishi was really vast. There were countless immortals from here. He thought about which small sect in the corner of Shushan Jianmen was.
Han Zekang was puzzled and asked: "The name Xu Ying is not good. How could my brother choose such a name?" Xu Ying was surprised: "Why is this name not good?"
Han Zekang and Master Huolong were even more surprised than him and looked at him. Master Huolong did not bother to answer Hanze Kangze and said many words enthusiastically:
Hasn't anyone told you that the name Xu Ying is the name of a great villain? This evil man has blocked the way to heaven and made it impossible for people to ascend. I don’t know how much people hate him! Who would dare to take this name when he is scolded by so many people every day? "
Xu Ying stared blankly and said: "They probably have the same name."
Of course it’s the same name! Otherwise, how could you still be a great villain? "
Han Zekang patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Brother Xu, you came to Mount Xumi alone for the meeting. No wonder you didn't come with any of your classmates. We all know your name and are afraid of being implicated. You just met our condor palace." The others will probably beat you up a lot!" Xu Ying quickly thanked you.
Master Huolong said: "Shushan Jianmen doesn't care about you, you can follow us up the mountain, but don't say your name is Xu Ying. Ten thousand people will die without illness, but anyone named Xu Ying will not live to adulthood without great merit! You are fourteen years old Or fifteen?”
Xu Ying whispered: "Fourteen years old"
Master Fire Dragon shook his head as if he was hopeless.
Han Zekang sympathized with Xu Ying and said, "When we get to the mountain later, we will help you find a god who is good at correcting numerology to help you change your name.
Xu Ying quickly thanked him and flew up the mountain with the two of them. On the way, there were many masters from other famous sects riding dragons and phoenixes, riding various fragrant carriages, precious chariots, painted turrets and extremely luxurious boats.
Even if you don't have such a vehicle, you still have to wield a sword or practice the auspicious clouds and rays of light. There are only a few people who can ride the wind like the Master and Disciple of the Condor Palace and Xu Ying.
Seeing that Xu Ying had no idea, Han Zekang kept chattering along the way, pointing at the person riding the dragon and saying it was the Tianlong Sect. He pointed at the person riding the phoenix chariot and saying it was the princess of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom. Although the Condor Palace is not a sect, it knows the other sects very clearly.
Han Zekang even knew which immortal in the immortal world the founder of these sects was. He also knew what the immortal weapons were and spoke them clearly and logically. This Mount Sumeru is the central mountain. This is a centuries-old sacrificial ceremony.
Han Zekang spoke eloquently about this sacrificial ceremony, "This mountain was originally ownerless and no one dared to occupy it. But more than 40,000 years ago, the God King Xuankong came down from the sky to occupy this mountain. From then on, the sacred mountain has an owner."
Xu Ying's heart moved slightly: "Xuankong Divine King? Is it the Divine King who occupies this mountain, not the Immortal King?"
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Immortal King's cultivation was too strong, and Xu Ying did not have the support of Penglai Wonderland. At this moment, the Six Secrets had not yet recovered, and he might not be able to escape by snatching the cauldron on the top of the mountain.
But if it was a God King, there would be no need to be so cautious.
He fought against God King Xuanhao. At that time, God King Xuanhao was an invincible existence in front of him.
But now that Xu Ying has advanced in cultivation, he has collected three thousand heavenly runes, and has three great Immortal King Immortal Weapons as his three backup realms. Even if Xuan Hao, the God King in his prime state, may not be his opponent!
"Xuankong thinks that one of the god kings who besieged me back then was assigned to my refining stage and was refined into a magic weapon."
Xu Ying looked up at the top of the mountain and said silently in his heart, "When we get closer, I will take back this treasure and kill Xuan Kong to avenge me!" Mount Xumi is so huge that it has become a world of its own, affecting the operation of the great world of Taishi.
The southern slope of this mountain spans hundreds of thousands of miles. From top to bottom, there are rivers and lakes in the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter. Even in the gentle mountains and rocks, there are blue waves in the mountains and the sea where fish and dragons dance together.
There are thirty-four countries on the southern slope, each with a population of hundreds of millions.
There are dozens of countries on the east, west, and north slopes of the mountain, and the population is no less than that on the south slope.
Xu Ying followed the master and apprentice of the Condor Palace to fly over the south slope, but he saw that it was divided into four realms from the mountain to the bottom. Each realm has a sun god driving a golden crow chariot and pulling a blazing fireball to emit divine light.
The sun god of the first realm drove a chariot that drove the sun from east to west around Mount Meru. The Sun God of the second realm drives a chariot that pulls the sun from west to east for a circle around Mount Meru.
And so on and so on.
The people living in the mountains do not listen to the orders of secular sects, do not respect immortals, and only worship gods. Therefore, the kingdoms here are often the kingdoms of gods in the mountains. The incense of the gods of the four realms has continuously created gods with extremely powerful strength.
The Sumeru Mountain Sacrifice Ceremony is held once in a century and all sects from the great world of Taishi are invited to watch the ceremony. Each sect will also offer a stick of incense at the ceremony. Han Zekang pointed to the people climbing the mountain and said, "For this sacrificial ceremony, the delegations from various countries on Mount Sumeru will set off early and trek long distances to arrive."
The pilgrimage to the top of the mountain is to worship the supreme treasure of heaven on the top of the mountain. Some people with low cultivation levels have to fly for a year to reach the top of the mountain! "Xu Ying looked up in surprise and looked at the big cauldron emitting heavy divine light on the top of the mountain and asked doubtfully: "Are you saying that the one on the top of the mountain is the most precious treasure of heaven? "
Han Zekang nodded and said: "The most precious treasure of heaven, the Water-Fire Mixing Heavenly Cauldron! There are many magical rumors about this treasure. It is said that Xuankong, the god king who lived in the Xumi realm 48,000 years ago, brought it to the mortal god king to use this treasure to refine demons and slay evil spirits. Gathering the faith of all sentient beings, he finally refined it into a supreme divine weapon." Xu Ying was entranced when he told him the story of the most precious treasure of heaven, the water-fire hybrid cauldron.
The great world of Taishi once encountered a demon attacking Mount Sumeru, which also caused disaster. The gods of the four realms used this treasure to resist the invasion of external demons and protect the Sumeru realm.
Six thousand years ago, the Great World of Taishi suffered an invasion from the Demon Realm. A sudden change in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth almost turned the Great World of Taishi into a Demon Realm! "
When Han Zekang talked about this, he sighed and said, "At that time, God King Xuankong personally went out to refine the demonic path. This heavenly treasure also accompanied him through countless battles to eliminate demons and defend the path."
Master Huolong also said: "Therefore, the people of the four realms of Xumi have to come to the top of the mountain for pilgrimage every hundred years. On the one hand, they offer sacrifices to the Xuankong God King, and on the other hand, they offer sacrifices to the Water-Fire Huntian Cauldron to commemorate their contributions. The various sects in the Great World of Taishi Each faction will also send people to watch the ceremony to commemorate their merits." Xu Ying suddenly realized: "So that's it."
At this time, a huge stone statue came into Xu Ying's eyes. Most of the stone statue was buried in the rocks. Only half of its head was exposed. It was still huge as the same mountain.
The stone statue had a compassionate face and closed its eyes as if it couldn't bear to see the suffering of the world. "What kind of stone statue is that?" Xu Ying asked.
The two masters and apprentices took a look and said: "Relics from ancient times. It looks like a stone statue called Buddha."
The Fire Dragon Master said: "Originally, there was an ancient temple on the top of Mount Xumi, which was a relic from an ancient era. It seemed to be called the Great Thunder Sound Temple. King Xuankong felt that the ancient temple was too old and was in the way, so he moved the ruins and sent them to the Fire Kingdom ahead. Yes. You can still see it when you fly there later." Not long after, they flew to the Fire Kingdom and saw an ancient and magnificent ruins.
Xu Ying looked around and saw thousands of golden temples surrounding the Great Leiyin Temple, but most of them were lying down and dilapidated.
Xu Ying landed and came to the outside of Daleiyin Temple to look up at the plaque. The ancient temple was deep, silent, dilapidated, desolate and lifeless.
Han Zekang called from above: "Brother Xu, come up quickly! The sacrificial ceremony has begun on the mountain! Xu Ying shouted: "I'll take a look and come right away! "
He looked up at the mountaintop in the distance, where the splendor, divine light, and incense were lingering.
This distance is about three thousand miles, which is perfect for me to cast a spell to seize the most precious treasure of heaven, the water-fire hybrid cauldron! "
Xu Ying raised his eyebrows and walked into Daleiyin Temple. He saw a golden dragon pool in the temple, but the water in the pool was dry. There was a skeleton crawling in the pool. It seemed that the golden dragon in the pool died of thirst.
Xu Ying gently waved his hand and in an instant the water in the pool was as full as a bright mirror.
He leaned over and looked at the water surface of the pool, which reflected his face like a mirror, but the scene of Mount Sumeru exactly appeared under the water!
The incense on Mount Xumi was at its peak. The kings of the 108 kingdoms in the Sumeru realm led their envoys, princes, and nobles to the top of the mountain to offer offerings of cattle, sheep, livestock, and slaves to the gods of Sumeru.
The gods of Xumi were modeled after the gods of heaven. There are 360 gods in total, each with a unique appearance and powerful powers. But the largest one is the water-fire Huntian Cauldron.
The sacrificial ceremony has begun. The kings of one hundred and eight countries and a group of envoys, tens of thousands of people, are surrounded by the scent of incense and candles to worship the divine cauldron. I saw the fire forming a vast sea of fire hanging in mid-air and the water forming a vast ocean of water and fire.
This fire is the true fire of Samadhi. It can burn nothing. The water is the divine water of Samadhi.
Seeing the water-fire mixed-heaven cauldron rising from the sea of fire, the leaders of all countries paid homage to it. Tens of thousands of envoys also knelt down and kowtowed to the divine cauldron. The gods of Mount Sumeru also knelt down and praised the power of the most precious artifacts of heaven to guard the world and keep people safe.
The chanting of the gods was deafening, and the cattle, sheep, livestock and slaves presented by the kings of various countries exploded and turned into clouds of blood mist amidst the chanting. The blood mist of millions of creatures rose into the sky, and their essence contained in the blood mist surged toward the water-fire mixed-heaven cauldron.
Wherever the bloody light shines, various heavenly runes appear all over the cauldron.
The power of heaven radiated from this cauldron became stronger and stronger. When it reached its peak, it had the power to swallow up the universe. But the stars on the top of Mount Sumeru actually fell into the cauldron!
The stars are swayed and gradually approach Mount Sumeru!
The other famous sects in Taishi World who came to watch this spectacular scene were secretly shocked when they saw it.
The two masters and apprentices of the Condor Palace also stood in the air and watched from a distance. The Fire Dragon Master said: "The Heavenly Treasures on Mount Xumi have surpassed the Heavenly Artifacts in the Heavenly World. Their power is so powerful that no one can even suppress it!"
Han Zekang said in confusion: "Can the treasure of Mount Sumeru be so powerful and the world of heaven tolerate it? I think the power of this treasure is better than the divine weapon of heaven." It clearly threatens the majesty of the gods in the world of heaven! Moreover, Mount Sumeru is a world of its own and is like the layout of the world of heaven. If I were the God King of the Heavenly World, I would definitely not tolerate the Sumeru Realm. "
Master Fire Dragon shook his head and said: "What do you know? The origin of God King Xuankong is extraordinary, but he was also born in the world of heaven and made great achievements but was demoted to the mortal world. God King Xuankong can gain a foothold in our great world of Taishi and occupy the great world of Taishi. The world's largest holy mountain would have been destroyed long ago without anyone's support!
Han Zekang was shocked and said: "The gods of the heavenly world drove the Xuankong God King out of the realm. Naturally, it was because there were people in the fairy world who dared to do such a thing. If there are people behind the Xuankong God King, doesn't it mean that there is also an open and covert struggle within the fairy world? ?”
Master Huolong glanced at him: "Knowing what you say is not a blessing. If you talk nonsense, be careful of the disaster that comes from your mouth." Han Zekang bowed with awe in his heart and said: "This is what the master taught you."
He calmed down and shouted down: "Brother Xu, hurry up! The sacrificial ceremony has begun! Brother Xu?" He waited for a while but Xu Ying didn't reply: "Master, I'll go down and call him!"
Master Huolong was a little uneasy and said: "Da Leiyin Temple once had evil spirits worshiping evil spirits and it was not a good place. Let's go together to avoid him getting into evil spirits."
The master and apprentice flew downward.
The people of the 108 Divine Kingdoms in the Xumi Realm also offered sacrifices at this time to the Water-Fire Huntian Cauldron. The incense gas spread hundreds of thousands of miles and rose like smoke.
The power of the water-fire hybrid heaven cauldron is even greater. The heavenly runes on the cauldron wall are becoming clearer and clearer.
The people of all countries chanted louder and louder, their expressions became more and more fanatical, and the starry sky became more and more distorted by the divine cauldron. The stars slowly fell into the cauldron. Master Fire Dragon and Han Zekang were frightened by the power of the divine cauldron and looked up, feeling inexplicably shocked.
At this moment, the sky shook violently. An extremely huge face covered the sky above Mount Sumeru. It looked like the sun and moon and pressed towards Mount Sumeru across the sky.
That scene was extremely terrifying and oppressive!
Then the sky cracked open and a big hand covering the sky reached out. In an instant, it enveloped the top of Mount Xumi and grabbed the water-fire hybrid heaven cauldron! The gods of Mount Sumeru were so angry that they rose into the sky and sacrificed various divine weapons and weapons to kill the big hand and the mighty face! They are gods born from the incense from all walks of life in Sumeru. They already have the characteristics of gods, and when they take action, the sound of heaven is filled with them. But the next moment, the sky in Mount Sumeru became extremely bright. Three thousand heavenly talismans and seals unfolded like a scroll and instantly filled the sky!
A masterpiece of Taoism!
The three hundred and sixty gods of Mount Xumi groaned in an instant, and then they were all defeated, and the magic power in their bodies was chaotic and they fell in all directions!
Master Fire Dragon and Han Zekang looked up blankly at that huge face. Han Zekang whispered: "Master, do you think this face looks like Brother Xu Ying's face?" "It does."
The Fire Dragon Master nodded repeatedly, "They are all black, but Xu Ying should be in the Great Leiyin Temple!"
The two masters and apprentices looked at each other and hurriedly flew towards the Great Leiyin Temple. Before they arrived, they saw Xu Ying standing by a pool of water, looking at his own shadow in the pool, with one hand reaching into the water as if to grab something in the water.
