Chapter 124: Purple Gold and Vermilion Fruit
On the inner wall of the gourd, there are densely packed golden symbols that look like small swords. They are not just sword art scriptures, but also the secrets of swordsmanship. Each symbol contains the meaning of the sword. If you want to practice the Void-Slaying Sword Art, the first thing you have to do is A sudden realization of the meaning of the sword, rather than an understanding of the scriptures.
Previously, Zhou Hao opened his golden eyes and looked at the golden symbols on the wall. He blindly regarded them as scriptures and was not prepared, so the sword intent in the symbols rushed into his eyes. He had no idea at all. With the power of parry, the sea-like sword intent invaded his spiritual consciousness. Life and death were only a matter of a thought!
At that time, his tenacious will to survive wrapped up his consciousness that was about to collapse and prevented him from dying immediately. It wasn't until Hanabi's spiritual consciousness entered his inner world and awakened his subconscious will to be strong that he asked about swordsmanship and what was the best swordsmanship in the world. At that moment, he finally had an epiphany.
The so-called sword intention is a kind of pursuit, a kind of self-confidence, and a kind of will to surpass everything and aspire to be the best in the world!
After realizing the meaning of the sword, Zhou Hao looked at the golden symbols on the inner wall of the gourd again and found that they were like living creatures, beating happily there, very freely.
"Wow, Zhou Hao, look, these golden symbols are moving. They are so cute, as if they are dancing!" Hanabi pointed forward and said with a smile.
"I saw it. This means that I have been recognized by the Xuxu Sword Art. They recognize me as the new master." Zhou Hao said with a smile.
As soon as he thought about it, a string of golden symbols suddenly fell from the inner wall of the gourd, and then stopped in front of his eyes. It was a sword art scripture about crossing the barrier.
Although it is just a string of symbols, there is a lot of content inside. The so-called mustard seed Na Sumeru, one symbol is the essence of thousands of swordsmanship.
What others saw was a symbol that looked like a small sword, but what Zhou Hao saw was a world of swordsmanship, which was densely covered with scriptures, mountains of swords and seas of swords, and countless barriers rooted in the void, but they could be easily crossed by a single sword...
He saw that every time the sword was drawn, a space node would break open outside the barrier, and the sword would enter from this node, and then a node would break open within the barrier, and the sword would emerge from that node.
To put it bluntly, crossing the barrier is to use the ability of Sword Art to Zhanxu to find two space nodes inside and outside the barrier and break them open, allowing objects to move between the two points.
"Okay, let's go out!" After finishing practicing the sword technique, Zhou Hao waved his hand, and the string of symbols returned to its original position.
"Okay." Hanabi almost jumped up with joy when she heard that she was about to go out.
Yunmiao Fairy Mountain, Sword Training Square.
What is different from usual is that the square is empty today, with only four people, Oogway, Green Snake and Yu Nan, Xiao Shanshan. The tops of the fairy mountains are still the same as yesterday, with the doors closed. The elders and disciples are practicing behind closed doors, and no visitors are seen.
Nangong Xun and the two night angels were seriously injured after receiving a full blow from Zhou Hao's Void-Destroying Gourd. Now there is no trace of them. It is not known whether they are still in Yunmiao Immortal Palace.
Two figures walked out of the Xuxu-Zhan gourd suspended in the air, and instantly grew into Zhou Hao and Hua Huo. Yu Nan saw the two people coming out for the first time.
"Great, you finally came out. My senior sister and I have been praying for you two for a long time." Xiao Shanshan said loudly when she saw the two of them appearing together.
"I made you worry, but this time it's really thanks to Hua Huo, otherwise I would be in danger." Zhou Hao and Hua Huo looked at each other and said.
"Yes, yes, Hanabi was anxious last night. You two have telepathy. She dreamed that you were in danger, and she woke up with a fright, and then..."
Before Xiao Shanshan finished speaking, the turtle over there interrupted: "She beat me up again, and her tail was almost burned off by her. Why am I so unlucky! Huh, if I had known better, I wouldn't have let you practice in the gourd." ,The less trouble, the better."
"Oh? It's better to do less than to do more, are you sure? So, someone, ah no, a certain turtle doesn't want the Purple Gold Fruit?" Zhou Hao said with a smile.
"I want it, of course I want it. Who said I don't want it? It's the main ingredient for refining the Nine Turns Golden Pill. I want to eat one in my dreams, but have you really learned how to cross the barrier?" Oogway said a little doubtfully asked.
"Just watch!" Zhou Hao stretched out a hand, and the yellow-skinned gourd stood firmly on his hand.
"You all come here, I will cover everyone with a gourd so that we can cross the barrier!"
So they all stood together. The yellow-skinned gourd rose upside down, and white light fell from its mouth, covering everyone.
With a whooshing sound, Zhou Hao and others flew towards the bottom of the Immortal Mountain. Soon they saw the purple barrier, surrounded by dense purple mist, which was extremely dense.
"What a pure purple energy. One day of practice here is probably better than three days of practice on the top of the mountain!" Yu Nan said with emotion.
"Then let's practice here often from now on." Xiao Shanshan suggested.
"That's right, after picking the purple and gold fruits, this place will be open to the public. We can come here every day." Yu Nan nodded.
"Okay, let's go in!" Zhou Hao made a sword secret with his hand, and he immediately shot out a sword energy from the gourd's mouth to cut open a crack in the void, and then the gourd and everyone entered the crack.
When they reappeared, the barrier was already outside. They walked out of the void crack in the barrier and saw the magnificent scene inside the barrier.
"I'm sorry, is this the purple-gold red fruit tree? It's different from what I imagined. It's so big!" Xiao Shanshan and Hua Huo exclaimed at the same time.
This is a purple world, and it is also a world with only one tree. When they look up under the tree, they can see the purple-gold red fruit tree with lush branches and leaves, which is a hundred meters high.
Fallen leaves intertwined and covered the ground. The leaves were flowing with purple light and looked dreamlike. This big tree was rooted in the ground and was so strong that it took thirty people to hug it.
The tree trunk is all vermilion, the bark is cracked like dragon scales, and the crown is huge and thick, almost like a purple cloud covering the sky and the sun.
"Nah! Such a big tree doesn't bear any fruit?" The turtle raised its neck and looked around the tree, dumbfounded.
"Don't worry, the tree is so big and leafy. How can you see everywhere so easily? Let's look again!" Zhou Hao said calmly.
"Found it, here!" Yu Nan flew up to look for it. She saw a purple-gold red fruit covered by layers of branches and leaves on the crown of the tree.
Everyone immediately flew up and looked down in the direction Yu Nan pointed. Sure enough, they saw an apple-like fruit hanging on the branch.
The fruit is about the size of a fist and looks like it is made of purple gold. Its surface is shining with crystal luster, making it look very tempting.
"That's right, that's right, that's the purple-gold red fruit. Normal red fruits are very small, like plums, but only the purple-gold red fruit can be so big, like an apple!" The turtle's eyes shone, and he pointed at the fruit below and yelled. , extremely excited.
"Okay, let me take it off!" Zhou Hao stretched out his right hand and stretched it towards the purple gold and red fruit.
"Haha, do you really think it's that simple?" Suddenly, an old laughter spread throughout the barrier, and Zhou Hao and others were knocked off the tree and fell to the ground.
"Who is plotting against us? Come out here and I promise not to beat you to death!" Hanabi rubbed her butt, got up angrily, looked around and shouted.
"Little baby, that's not a bad tone. In all my life, this is the first time I've heard that someone wants to beat me to death!" The old voice sounded again.
"Purple and gold red fruit tree? It has become a spirit!" Hua Huo looked at the big tree in front of him and said.
Others were also confused, looking at the big tree in front of them in surprise. It turned out that the tree was not only alive, but also alive!
"What, you allow your little lotus flower to transform into a human form, but you don't allow my big tree to speak human language?" On the tree trunk, an old face appeared facing Zhou Hao and others.
"Oh no, I forgot about this. The Purple Gold and Vermilion Fruit Tree has spiritual intelligence. Although it is difficult to cultivate, it also has a certain amount of magic power. It can understand human nature and speak human language." Oogway patted his forehead and said.
"So that's it. Senior is actually the immortal tree. I'm disrespectful. However, the Purple Gold and Vermilion Fruit are of great use to us. Please show your respect, senior." Zhou Hao said, facing the old face of the Purple Gold and Vermilion Fruit Tree, cupping his fists.
"Let's go. This last purple-gold fruit has already been reserved. If you don't have this blessing, just wait another 90,000 years!" the old tree said calmly.
"What? Ninety thousand years! Ninety thousand years later I want it to be of no use. No, give it to me now, otherwise I will stay with you and won't leave!" said the turtle in a rogue manner.
"That's just right. I've been alone there for thousands of years. It's so boring. Finally, someone, ah no, a turtle comes to accompany me to relieve my boredom." The old tree laughed.
"Old Bangzi, you, you, you... you are more scoundrel than me!" Oogway pointed at the old tree and cursed.
"Senior, I don't know who ordered this last fruit. Could it be the master of Yunmiao Immortal Palace, Yunmiao Immortal?" Zhou Hao asked.
"Yes, it is the Immortal Yunmiao." The old tree said.
"Sure enough, it's just that the old man, the master of the palace, has been killed. Then... how to calculate it now?" Zhou Hao said.
"No, I haven't finished speaking yet. It was booked by Yunmiao Immortal's gang. He told me that there are two young disciples of Yunmiao Immortal Palace, a boy and a girl, who went to the Great Immortal Cave for a trial. They are extremely talented. He is the future pillar of Yunmiao Immortal Palace. When the two return to the Immortal Palace, if the Immortal Palace changes owners, they can give the Immortal Fruit to one of them to help him break through to the Supreme Immortal Realm and pacify the rebellious party! He said that he can enter this enchantment The only people left are those two young disciples, because the thing they brought back from the Great Immortal Cave is the enchantment key." Laoshu said again.
After hearing this, Zhou Hao's heart was filled with turmoil. At the same time, he admired the palace master's foresight, because this was simply a divine calculation!
"The Hall Master is actually so sure that you and Su Qing can stand out and get the gourd." Yu Nan was also amazed by the Hall Master's prediction.
"It's possible that Immortal Yunmiao used that trick!" Wugui seemed to have thought of something.
"You know?" Zhou Hao and Yu Nan looked at Wugui at the same time, their eyes full of expectation.
"The soul travels through time. You can travel through time in the state of your soul. You can see the past and the future. This is an enchantment that can only be performed when you reach the realm of great immortals. There are many restrictions. You don't just want to see how long ago and how long it will be. Generally, the time span is small. , as well as various distinctions between people, objects, and places. And there is only one chance to use it in a lifetime. Moreover, it does not mean that it will be successful just by casting it. It is very likely that the immortal soul will be torn apart by the time fragments. Once the Soul Traveling Time is cast, the immortal will immediately enter the immortal world. The last of the five declines - soul decline, even if you don't die at the time, you will die soon. So only people who have entered the soul decline stage will use this trick!" Wugui revealed a possible truth.
