"This is the envoy of the ancestor of Wuchao in the South China Sea, Mr. Yu."
"This is Prince Huang Yang, who serves under the Divine Phoenix of the West Sea."
At the junction of the two seas in the southwest, there is an inconspicuous island among the blue waves. From the east of the island, you can see the west at a glance.
At this moment, three figures gathered on the island, standing opposite each other in the strong sea breeze.
The one on the left looks like a middle-aged man with a broad face and red hair, with double horns on his forehead and unruly pupils.
The one on the right is carrying a large black shell. He is thin and has an old face. When the wind blows, it makes people feel quite strenuous.
The person in the middle is Master Yinghuo, talking to the two of them with a smile.
The one on the left is none other than the phoenix sheep that Yinghuo once tried to capture. It is the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix of the West Sea. After the mutation, it became extremely talented. After the Divine Phoenix came out of the West Sea to fight for its way, the blood of the Phoenix clan from all directions came to surrender, but the divine beast Phoenix Sheep remained unmoved. It was Shenhuang who personally went to Huangyang Mountain to recruit him, and promised him the position of crown prince of the Phoenix clan, so he reluctantly brought this once abandoned son back to Shenhuang Island.
This time in contact with Nanhai, Shenhuang asked Prince Huangyang to come forward.
The old man with the shell on his back was the most respected think tank in Wuchao in the South China Sea. His lifespan was almost as long as that of Wuchao. Everyone in Guixu knows that he can always represent Wuchao's will, and they all respectfully call him Mr. Turtle.
Prince Huangyang looked at the Heavenly Master with a rather unkind look, "I know about the Nanhai Monster Clan, but I didn't know you were here. What? You still want to use me to blackmail your father?"
"That's all over..." The Heavenly Master smiled and nodded. "The situation was unclear at that time. I was ordered to destroy the dormancy of the critical ones just because of my position. But my current position is that the only way out is for us to form an alliance among the three parties."
"An alliance?" Prince Huangyang sneered.
"The riot in the South China Sea led to the siege of Zhengdao, which almost broke Master Wuchao's critical state. Now I think it was also part of Yinghuo's calculation." Mr. Yu said quietly, "But at this time and that time, the human race is powerful, and we are sure We have to work together to win.”
"The human race is powerful?" Prince Huangyang glanced at the Heavenly Master, and then said: "There are currently five critical ones, three of them are from our demon race, and there are only two human races, so how can we say that they are powerful?"
"Although Baize is a monster, he is a Shushan divine beast. He relies on the power of the human race and cannot be regarded as his own clan." Mr. Yuan replied, "Both the ancestors of Tianxing and Venerable Baize are relied on by the human race. Could it be the Divine Phoenix of the West Sea? Aren’t you afraid?”
"How are you doing?" Prince Huangyang asked.
Since he came today, it was natural that the Divine Phoenix of the West Sea sensed the crisis and wanted to join forces.
Divine Phoenix is practicing in a corner of the West Sea, and is at a huge disadvantage in terms of power. Even if demon clans from all directions come to surrender after the vision is revealed, they are still unable to compete with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths who have obtained the artifact.
"You and I will join forces to destroy one family first." Tianshi replied without hesitation.
Prince Huangyang thought for a moment, and then asked, "Who do you want to attack first?"
This time it was Mr. Yu who answered: "Shu Mountain has a close relationship with Nanhai. After all, Venerable Bai Ze is also a demon clan. If possible, we should target the ancestor of Tianxing first. He has the power of Tianxing lineage and possesses two artifacts. He is the greatest threat at the moment."
"Okay." Prince Huangyang agreed immediately.
Now that the Heavenly Fire is coming to the west, it is the Heavenly Star Ancestor who is blocking it. If the ancestor of Tianxing can be dealt with first, the biggest obstacle standing in front of Divine Phoenix will disappear.
If the other two parties were willing to help, he would have no reason to refuse.
After he agreed, he immediately asked: "What should we do?"
The Heavenly Master smiled faintly and said, "We want to...swallow the stars every day!"
…
"You really want to go?"
On Shu Mountain, Bai Yuxian looked at Chu Liang with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
In just a few days, this young man actually raised the Great Way of Creation to the peak of the seventh realm. This is simply unbelievable.
But looking at the two old men behind him who looked exhausted as if they had been squeezed dry, she somewhat understood. Master Qinglong and Master Jiuyi each control an artifact. With the blessing of this configuration, it is strange that the progress is slow.
But how many people in the seventh realm in this world can have such luxury? How about asking these two to help me practice?
Probably only Chu Liang.
"My own strength is not enough to be promoted to Tianyuan. I don't know how long it will take to wait for the opportunity." Chu Liang said firmly: "I must borrow the Dao Furnace to use it."
After working so hard, I have to give it a try. Although Tun Tun was preserved in the White Tower, his limited life source was still weakening day by day, so he had to hurry up.
The origin of life does not mean that I can just keep it here for you. As long as it is alive, it must be gradually consumed. This cannot be stopped by the law of the great road. Otherwise, as long as people are not injured, they will not grow old or die.
"Okay." Bai Yuxian nodded, "I will take you back, but it may not be easy to borrow the Dao Furnace, and I may not be able to help you in this regard."
"I'll just talk to the temple owner myself," Chu Liang said.
They had not been happy with the Guanzhu before, so they asked Bai Yuxian to come forward to help ease the relationship. But if you want to borrow the artifact, you have to pay conditions, so she can't help in this regard.
After saying hello to the mountain gate, the whale riding immortal raised the black whale and took Bai Yuxian and Chu Liang to the Shenxu Temple again. It had only been a few days since the two left. This time it was considered a return to their parents' home, which felt a bit like a young couple returning home.
They did not question Chu Liang's choice. Just like when Jiang Tiankuo was looking for his wife, many people felt that it was not necessary and they could live a good life outside the Shenxu.
But there are always some things that must be done.
After passing through the Shenxu Barrier, we arrived at the Shenxu Temple again on a familiar road. It was as peaceful as ever.
Yang Buwei was sweeping fallen leaves in front of the courtyard. When he saw the whale-riding immortal, he subconsciously clenched his hands.
"I won't beat you today." The Whale Riding Immortal smiled and said, "We are here to see the temple master."
"Humph." Yang Buwei turned his head and pretended not to see it.
Bai Yuxian led the two of them into the Shenxu Temple, walked through the house and courtyard, and came to the main hall.
The visitor was sitting in the hall, holding a cup of hot tea, looking straight ahead, as if waiting for something. It wasn't until he saw Chu Liang and the others that he smiled.
"Back." He greeted.
"Junior has something to ask you for help with. They are all relatives. You'd better not make things too difficult for him." Bai Yuxian said calmly.
"As long as things are within the rules, why have I ever made it difficult for others?" The viewer said with a slight smile, a little indifferent and a little aggrieved, "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Chu Liang stepped forward and said solemnly: "I want to borrow the Dao Furnace."
Then, he narrated the story of how the evil Ksitigarbha made a big fuss in Shushan, and how Tuntun died after a fierce battle with him, and then said: "Senior Brother Yuan has been watching the whole process in Shushan, and the viewer must also know it. Now that Tuntun's life source is weak, I I want to revive her as soon as possible, and I got some inspiration from the Avenue of Creation, and I want to give it a try. I just want to reach the state of controlling Tianyuan and I don’t know how long it will take, so I want to borrow the furnace of the Avenue."
"Do you want to be promoted to Tianyuan quickly?" The viewer pondered: "It is indeed possible in the Great Dao Furnace, but it is not easy. In fact, entering the Great Dao Furnace is a very risky thing. Once the promotion fails, you will be lost in it. And the more difficult the avenue is, the more difficult it is to advance and the higher the risk. With your talent, ordinary avenues are within easy reach, but if you want to master the avenue of creation, which is almost the most difficult avenue in the world, you may have to take great risks. Be careful and you will be lost forever in it.”
"I'm not afraid." Chu Liang said resolutely: "The master just needs to tell me what price I need to pay."
"What's the price..." The viewer thought for a moment and said, "Helping you get promoted is also an influence on the human world. It is indeed outside the rules. If you want to use the Dao Furnace, you have to do something for me."
"Please speak." Chu Liang responded.
"If you fail to be promoted, you will naturally get lost in it. If you succeed, then I want you to kill the evil Ksitigarbha." The viewer said.
ah?
Chu Liang was stunned and asked only one word: "Me?"
He looked at the viewer carefully to confirm that he heard correctly. That was the evil Ksitigarbha, a heavenly demon from the upper realm who was not even a match for demon gods. Even if you defeat the weakest Ninth Level in history, it is still the Ninth Level.
Even if he succeeds in promotion, he will only be in the eighth level.
You can just tell me if you want me to die.
"I can lend you the Panshen Bone. No matter what kind of resources you use or how many people you mobilize, I want you to get rid of it." The temple leader said: "The demon is the cancer that invades this world. It wants to destroy this world." Swallowing the world clean and then leaving is absolutely not allowed by the law of ascension. But before that, I can't take action against him."
If Shenxu Guan can use the reason "he has intentions of harming the world" to take action, then there are too many gray areas in between. Shenxu Guan can use the power left by Li Sheng to eradicate dissidents at will, as long as it is based on judgment. The power of justice, if misused, is worse than sin.
Therefore, according to the rules left by Li Sheng, Shenxu Temple is absolutely not allowed to interfere in human affairs before something that violates the law of ascension occurs. This is an iron rule.
"Now that he is extremely weak after the battle with the demon god, you should have the ability to kill him." The viewer looked at Chu Liang, "Is that okay?"
"Of course." Chu Liang agreed.
He originally thought there would be some harsh conditions, and killing the evil Ksitigarbha was what he expected. If the temple owner can provide the hiding place of Ksitigarbha, that would be great.
After all the conditions were agreed upon, the spectator waved his sleeves, and with a bang, a large cauldron fell to the ground. The cauldron was covered with mysterious inscriptions, which was dizzying to look at.
"I'm warning you one last time. Once you enter, you may never come back." The visitor solemnly said, "Do you really want to go in?"
"Yeah." Chu Liang was unwavering.
"You are very confident." The viewer smiled and said, "You didn't even make a will this time."
"It's established." Chu Liang looked at him and said, "It's just that it's in the hands of others and I didn't let Senior Brother Yuan know."
Ever since he knew that Senior Brother Yuan was one of the three thousand clones of the Guanzhu, he had begun to be slightly wary of him. At least the core secrets could no longer be left to Senior Brother Yuan. When someone talks outside, he will unconsciously turn down his volume when he encounters Fang Naopan.
The viewer sighed: "Oh, I wish I didn't tell you."
Chu Liang glanced at him speechlessly, "You didn't want to tell me, but I'm not blind either."
You, Senior Brother Yuan, have the same square face and square head. Even if it is burned to ashes, it is still square. How could I not recognize him?
…
The land of Yu Dynasty, Xizhou.
The drastic changes in the sky in recent days made the people panic at first, but they gradually got used to it. The dazzling fire in the sky covering the West Sea, the chaotic darkness filling the South China Sea, and the brilliant stars in the sky of Xizhou that never burn out day and night.
Gradually, ordinary people began to wonder who would become the new saint. As mortals, they don't understand this, and they only hope that the new saint can be a human.
According to historical legends, whichever race becomes sacred will make this race the master of the human world for at least a thousand years. If the demon clan has another god, then the human clan may have a hard time again.
If it is a good demon, it will be fine, and at most it will lead the demon clan to rise. If it is an evil demon, the bloody storm of three thousand years ago will start again.
Among the critical people currently visible to the naked eye, only the ancestor of Tianxing is from the human race.
Therefore, the people of the human race have the highest support rate for the Tianxing Ancestor. If they can vote for the Holy One, there is no doubt that the Tianxing Ancestor will be elected.
The people in the southern region may have some feelings for Shushan, and the people in the northern region may still have some expectations for the Venerable Wanfa. Although there had been news from the court that the Venerable Wanfa had faked his death and that he was responsible for attracting the evil Ksitigarbha, the Holy Mountain had a strong foundation in the Northern Territory and had many believers.
Until they see it with their own eyes, there are still a large number of believers who will not believe that the Venerable Wanfa has turned black.
But compared to the huge number of supporters of the ancestor of Tianxing, these people are nothing. In recent days, a large number of people have come to Xizhou from other places, as if on a pilgrimage to worship the stars that are shining brightly in the clear day, as if they are going to pay homage to the human saint in advance.
In the cave above the Heavenly King Sect, the ancestor of Tianxing was dressed in white robes, sitting on a round platform, looking up at the stars.
The dazzling morning star in the sky twinkles as it moves around the sky, its brightness comparable to that of the sun and moon. If he can successfully attain enlightenment, the Taibai Star will be on par with the sun and moon, surpassing the existence of ordinary stars.
While he was practicing meditation, a group of black clouds suddenly came from a distance and gradually obscured the dazzling morning star.
The power of chaos.
"The road between me and the South China Sea is far away, and I have never interfered with the water of a well or a river. Why did Ancestor Wuchao take action to ruin my practice?" Ancestor Tianxing suddenly opened his eyes, and his voice rolled out.
Although the sound is like thunder, people nearby cannot hear it. The sound will be directly transmitted to the South China Sea, and then resound across the sea, setting off a huge wave!
boom--
The people of Xizhou did not know the situation in the South China Sea. They only knew that the stars in the sky were suddenly shrouded in black mist, and people were panicked for a while.
At this moment, another divine fire floated under the black clouds, and a loud cry sounded in the sky!
"You and Nanhai Jingshui are not in conflict with each other, but you are blocking my way."
The majestic voice of the Divine Phoenix resounded throughout Xizhou.
"Ancestor Tianxing, you have only two choices today. Either give way, or... die!"
good evening.
Happy Chinese Valentine's Day to everyone.
