Chapter 183: Am I a sword?
In this life, he was born in an emperor's family, but what about the previous life?
Zhou Hao slowly stepped forward and swam up the river of time. The pictures reflected in the river in front of him were also slowly moving forward. This process, these simple steps, was so heavy.
Because, the truth lies ahead. Whether his previous life is as he guessed is just a few steps away.
At this moment, the young man in red had a solemn expression and slow steps. His golden eyes were focused on looking ahead, and he was about to witness the truth!
In the golden river, scenes of inverted images came into Zhou Hao's eyes, but the background of the images was not the mountains, rivers and earth, but the sky... the starry sky.
You know, in this long river of time, you can only see your past, present and future. However, Zhou Hao's starting point in this life is clearly a mortal, and his background of existence can only be on the earth. How can it be related to the sky and the stars?
Could it be that he is not a human being?
In the image reflected by the upstream river, it was shocking that the dark stone slab was rushing towards the sky from the crater on the surface, breaking through the star atmosphere and entering the vast depths of the starry sky, just like when Zhou Hao stepped on the stone slab to ascend to the fairyland.
Since this is going back in time, the picture you see is naturally played backwards, but this is Zhou Hao's past. Why are there dark stone slabs in the picture?
"Could it be that my past life is really related to you?" At this time, Zhou Hao, who saw the scene in front of him, seemed to confirm his suspicion. He was holding the dark stone sword in his hand, which was the stone sword that fell out after the dark stone slab was shattered by the sword light from the Xuxu-Zhan gourd.
"Guo Lao warned me that this stone sword is just a scabbard to be precise. It is made of a material that is made of grammatical materials. The grammatical scabbard wraps a real sword, and the real sword in the stone is the key to reviving the demon in my heart. "Zhou Hao carefully looked at the stone sword in his hand, and then looked at the image in the water in front of him, while his mind kept thinking about the gold and silver sword pill that flew into Huang Guifei's belly.
The secrets of the Kewu Sword Scabbard, the True Sword in the Stone, and the Gold and Silver Sword Pills must be the key to uncovering his identity in his past life!
Going up the long river of time, what you see is a person's past. Now that what Zhou Hao sees is the dark stone slab, it means that his previous life is likely to be the stone sword sealed in the stone slab.
The gold and silver sword pills correspond to the soul. Basically, the sword pill that he is now was born with the help of Huang Guifei's belly and became a human body.
"Could that sword pill be the weapon spirit of the real sword in the stone, the sword spirit, which is now... me?" Zhou Hao asked and answered himself, while stepping forward firmly, while staring closely at the image in the swimming pool. .
In the picture, as expected, the dark stone slab flew into the starry sky source where billions of stars gathered. It was the critical coordinate between the mortal universe and the fairy realm, and it was the place where successful cultivators could transcend tribulations and ascend.
White clouds and mist cover a vast cloud platform. On the platform stands a ten-foot-high white stone tablet. Engraved on the front of the stone tablet are two powerful vermilion characters - Immortal Realm!
The dark stone slabs collided and flew straight into the white stone tablet, because this stone tablet itself is the entrance from the mortal world to the immortal realm. Whether a mortal becomes an immortal or an immortal descends to the earth, this is the only way.
As the scene turned, the dark stone slab had arrived at the Immortal Platform, and its speed was getting faster and faster, as if it was accelerating infinitely. Before, it could be seen that it was a dark stone slab, but now it was wrapped in white light, turning into a stream of light and rushing towards this place. The end of the Sun and Moon Immortal Realm.
Under such terrifying speed, even if Zhou Hao looked through the long river of time, he only felt dazzled for a while. The stars moved in a blink of an eye, and soon the stream of light crossed the Sun and Moon Immortal Realm and came to a chaotic and turbulent unknown. place.
"It seems that there should be the end of the Sun and Moon Immortal Realm. The fairy book says that the eight Immortal Realms are like an irregular rice-shaped roulette when viewed from the plane. They are separated from each other by walls of chaos. They are called domains. The wall, and the point that intersects in the middle is called the Chaos Return to the Ruins, and the Return to the Ruins is the Eye of the Sea, which leads to the legendary ninth Immortal Realm—the Ancient Immortal Realm!"
Zhou Hao looked at the turbulent land of chaos. It was like hundreds of rivers converging into the sea, endless. There would occasionally be lightning and thunder inside the chaos. Eventually, the chaos would gather into a terrifying thunder vortex leading to the bottomless abyss in the center.
There is no doubt that this is the restricted area of life that makes even the Immortal King fearful and dare not take a step closer - Chaos Return to Ruins!
As Zhou Hao continued to trace back the river of time, he saw that the snow-white stream of light wrapped in dark stone slabs actually hitched a ride on the thunderous whirlpool, and finally fell into the bottomless abyss-like chaotic ruins.
Seeing this, Zhou Hao was shocked in his heart. He never thought that the sword in the stone in his hand had such a terrifying origin. You must know that the Taikoo Immortal Realm is the first restricted area in the eyes of the immortals, except for the Immortal Lord. No one dares to go in, and even the Immortal Lord may not be able to come back, or even die!
And these are actually his past events. All of this is simply unbelievable and hard to believe.
"I want to see what is so terrifying about that legendary ancient immortal realm." Zhou Hao did not stop. Today he wanted to find out everything clearly.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, he found that he could no longer move forward, and the scene in front of him was frozen in the stream of light falling into the chaotic ruins. There seemed to be an invisible wall in front of him to prevent him from continuing to rewind time.
"Can't we go back any further? Why?" Zhou Hao was puzzled. He hadn't yet figured out the origin of the Sword in the Stone, which was related to his previous life.
"The future is taboo and cannot be spied upon or seen clearly. But the past is an unchangeable fact, so why is it still blocked? Could it be that for the Ancient Immortal Realm, it itself is taboo, so it cannot be seen ?"
"If you think about it this way, it is indeed reasonable. The Ancient Immortal Domain is called the First Forbidden Zone. It is not on the same plane as the Eight Immortal Domains. The only entrance is the intersection of the eight domain walls, which is the Ruins of Chaos. It is extremely dangerous and dangerous there, and no one can approach it except the Immortal Lord, and only the Immortal Lord can break through the Chaos Ruins and use the passage to reach the Ancient Immortal Realm."
"I'm too naive. The first restricted area is just talk. It must be the ultimate heavenly power. It separates time and space. It is a real taboo. A young monk like me can see it just by looking at it."
Zhou Hao sighed softly and shook his head. He knew that he could no longer go back in time. In the end, he could only regretfully turn around and walk downstream.
"It's not in vain. At least I finally know the inexplicable connection between the Flying Immortal Stone and me. I never thought that my previous life was actually this sword." Zhou Hao held the stone sword tightly in one hand, took it to his eyes, and stretched out The other hand stroked the sword.
"But since the sword spirit is me, why does the sword body revive my inner demon?" Zhou Hao recalled that in the Great Immortal Cave, when he was going through the Golden Immortal Tribulation, he actually attracted the possession of his inner demon, and his soul consciousness He was directly exiled to the dark abyss of the spiritual space. If Hanabi hadn't awakened his soul consciousness in time, he might have been dominated by his inner demon forever.
The more Zhou Hao thought about it, the more something was wrong. It was said that he was the reincarnation of the sword spirit of the True Sword in the Stone, and the sword should be controlled by himself. But for so many years, this sword had never exerted any power, and it actually inspired him to be violent. Qi attracts the possession of inner demons. What is the reason for this?
"Oh, it's useless to think too much. It's better not to think about it. The most important thing is to practice and become stronger now. Since we have come this long time, we can't waste everything. I have walked a circle upstream and downstream, so I will use this sentiment Let’s try to understand the Great Way of Time and see if I can stabilize my middle-stage Golden Immortal realm.” At this time, Zhou Hao had reached the time node corresponding to reality in the long river of time. He sat cross-legged in the river, closed his eyes, and let the golden The river washes away his spirit.
Speaking of which, it has only been a few months since Zhou Hao became a Golden Immortal. However, he is now at the middle stage of the Golden Immortal. Such a breakthrough speed is really shocking.
Because it is never a good thing to break through too quickly. In cultivation, one should pay attention to the success of the process. Blind pursuit of speed will inevitably lead to obsession, the realm will backfire, and it is easy to cause big problems.
The reason why Zhou Hao was able to reach the middle stage of Jinxian in such a short period of time was naturally the bowl of fire tea from Youji Temple.
Just a bowl of tea can make Zhou Hao, who has just consolidated the early stage of Jinxian Taoism, advance to the next level again. It is hard to imagine how precious the Five Elements tea leaves are.
But think about it, Zhu Piao, the master of the Youji Temple, is the majestic Immortal King of the Monster Clan. How could he use some immortal treasures that are not suitable for him to greet a distinguished guest like Bing Lan who is also an Immortal King? It must be a top collection!
However, Fire Element Tea is like strong wine, with great staying power. The reason why Zhou Hao won against the Ji Taoist of Funny Island was due to that bowl of tea.
The rich essence contained in the tea not only allowed Zhou Hao's cultivation level to rise directly to the middle stage of Golden Immortal, but also helped him perform the strongest Sun Palm so far.
But obviously, the advantages must be accompanied by disadvantages. With the help of Fire Element Tea, in the end, his immortal power was exhausted, and the Golden Immortal body was almost broken. If Binglan hadn't come to rescue him, he might have died!
Besides, Binglan's action was not only to treat his injuries, but also to suppress the negative effects of Fire Element Tea, so that the violent immortal power could be calmed down and left for Zhou Hao to slowly consolidate, because if it were completely dependent on her, then It’s not Zhou Hao himself who is practicing.
The master leads you in, but practice still depends on the individual.
Zhou Hao, who had been sitting cross-legged, moved at this time. His hands drew inexplicable trajectories in the river water. In an instant, one golden rune after another came out of the water and surrounded Zhou Hao's body.
As more and more golden runes appeared, they began to be connected in series to form long chains of order, and the long chains were intertwined with each other, forming a dense network of runes that encompassed Zhou Hao Inside.
