Not far beyond Dangyun Mountain, Xue Tianqing felt countless eyes staring at him, most of them with a hint of greed. This was a feeling he didn't have the last time he traveled through Middle-earth.
But what puzzled him even more was that apart from the greedy gaze, there were also a small number of people who had a look of yearning or even admiration. What was going on?
Just when Xue Tianqing was about to go higher into the sky, the Xuanyuan Sword behind him suddenly shook, and then all eyes turned elsewhere.
Xue Tianqing couldn't help but touched Xuanyuan Sword: What a good sword! What's below is something that even the top masters in the three realms are afraid of. They don't expect Xuanyuan Sword to shake their thoughts lightly.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Taishang Laojun's voice came from behind: "Sun Wukong, what do you want to do?"
"I wanted to see if the sword was lost. I just felt a light behind me." Xue Tianqing said without looking back.
Seeing Taishang Laojun catch up and almost accompany him side by side towards the depths of the Middle-earth world, Xue Tianqing was extremely helpless: "Can't you do this? If I really want to run away, will I come here with you?"
Taoist Lord Lingbao who caught up later snorted: "What do you know, kid? You have no idea how powerful the Middle-earth world is. If you don't pay attention and talk nonsense about us, even the Jade Emperor will not be able to save you."
Xue Tianqing blinked: "Tianzun, I heard that the three of you were transformed by the three essences when Pangu created the world. Regardless of seniority or cultivation, they are far superior to the current Jade Emperor. But I just heard that you If so, not only is he controlled by the Jade Emperor, but his cultivation seems to be inferior, what is going on?"
Lingbao Tianzun snorted: "I know from hearsay at a young age, don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked, and take good care of Tang Sanzang to learn the scriptures."
After saying that, he ignored Xue Tianqing and urged Xiangyun to concentrate on his journey.
After walking thousands of miles, seeing the two Heavenly Lords still looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, Xue Tianqing said curiously: "You two, where exactly is Middle-earth? Why are you so careful?"
Seeing that the two of them were silent, he turned his attention to Hui'an Walker: "Walker, do you know the origin of Middle-earth?"
Seeing Hui'an ignoring her, Xue Tianqing snorted, suddenly urged Xiangyun under her feet and rushed out.
Daojun Lingbao was shocked when he saw this: "Boy, do you really want to die?"
Xue Tianqing rushed a few miles away, then stopped and turned around and said, "You are too careful. How can there be any danger?"
Who would have thought that as soon as he finished speaking, his expression changed, because an invisible force suddenly rolled up from bottom to top, and even if the Xuanyuan Sword kept shouting, it could not stop its oncoming force.
The power of the force is far beyond imagination, even the two Tianzun and Hui'an Walker who are several miles away can feel it.
Because Taishang Laojun still wanted to protect Hui'an Walker, Lord Lingbao took the lead to reach Xue Tianqing's side, stretched out his hand and pulled him up into the sky: "If you can't escape this disaster, don't blame God and others!"
Although Lingbao Daojun is fast, the invisible force is even faster. The two of them had gone less than three miles when they wrapped their arms around Xue Tianqing's legs and pulled him down.
Taojun Lingbao raised his eyebrows upon seeing this, grabbed Xue Tianqing with his left hand, and swung it downwards with his right hand.
As soon as the wind from Daojun's palm rose, a big hand appeared out of thin air and slapped him forcefully from bottom to top.
The next moment, although the big hand was shaken and disappeared out of thin air, Taoist Lord Lingbao also flew several miles away, which showed that the opponent's ability was not inferior to his.
In order to avoid hurting Xue Tianqing, Daojun Lingbao had already let go, but the force still wrapped around his legs and dragged them to the ground.
Seeing this, Taishang Laojun not far away pushed Hui'an Walker high into the air: "Don't come down!" Then he ducked to Xue Tianqing's side, raised his Seven-Star Sword and swept it towards his feet.
The sword passed over the soles of his feet, Xue Tianqing felt a lightness on his legs, and the force dragging him disappeared in an instant, so he and Lao Jun urged the cloud head to rush high.
Unexpectedly, after walking up less than a hundred feet, I suddenly felt a tightness in my waist. I lowered my head and saw the Qiankun Bag falling towards the ground.
Just now, another inexplicable force suddenly took action and stole the Qiankun Bag from his waist.
Xue Tianqing raised her eyebrows: Even if the Xuanyuan Sword is lost, the Qiankun Bag cannot be lost! Thinking of this, he turned around and rushed towards the Qiankun bag.
Taishang Laojun just breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xue Tianqing turning back again: "Boy, do you want to die?"
As he spoke, he swayed and appeared next to Xue Tianqing again, grabbing his arm at the same time.
Seeing this, Xue Tianqing suddenly raised her hand and slapped Lao Jun's palm, and with the help of this force, she quickly rushed towards the Qiankun Bag.
Taishang Laojun was stunned for a moment, and then realized that there was something in the Qiankun Bag, something very important!
At the same time, Laojun felt another force rising from the ground and rolling directly towards Xue Tianqing. So he and Taoist Master Lingbao, who returned to his side, each formed a big hand and grabbed Xue Tianqing.
Seeing that the two of them were about to rescue Xue Tianqing, the force was divided into three parts to face the two big hands and Xue Tianqing.
Different from the almost transparent force just now, these three forces almost turned into substance, like a giant dragon rising into the sky.
Seeing one of them coming towards him with its teeth and claws bared, Xue Tianqing drew out the Xuanyuan Sword and struck at it.
Then a sword energy with a dragon's roar came down from top to bottom, smashing the force beneath Xue Tianqing's feet into pieces.
Seeing that there was no more interference, Xue Tianqing appeared next to the Qiankun Bag and grabbed it in his hand.
Not wanting to steal the power of the Qiankun Bag, he was very overbearing. Instead of letting go, he dragged Xue Tianqing towards the ground quickly.
Xue Tianqing shouted angrily, and then swung the Xuanyuan Sword out.
As a shrill scream came, he felt his hands loosen, and then quickly stuffed the Qiankun bag into his arms.
At this time, Xue Tianqing was less than a hundred meters above the ground, and he clearly felt that several powerful beings were looking at him.
Originally, Xue Tianqing planned to rush directly into the sky, but Xuanyuan Sword suddenly shook, and then dragged him towards the northeast.
At the same time, a gentle force came out of the sword and instantly enveloped Xue Tianqing's whole body.
Seeing that Xue Tianqing almost fell to the ground, the two Heavenly Lords both let out a sigh, because since ancient times, they had never heard of anyone being able to escape from the hinterland of Middle-earth.
But the next moment, they were stunned as they watched Xue Tianqing flying almost close to the ground.
It wasn't until Xue Tianqing was about to disappear from sight that the two of them led Hui'an Walker in pursuit.
On the way, Xue Tianqing clearly felt several unusually powerful auras, each of which was as good as Taishang Laojun.
However, they were indifferent to Xue Tianqing, maybe because they were too weak.
As a result, he became even more curious: what exactly is Middle-earth, and how many masters there are.
I remember Master said that the closer you are to the hinterland of Middle-earth, the more powerful the beings there are.
The existences here are comparable to the top combat power in heaven, so what is the scene like in the hinterland?
And the most important point is, why do so many masters live here?
If they attack the Three Realms, let alone Heaven, even if the Three Realms unite, they probably won't be able to withstand them!
After being dragged for an unknown distance by Xuanyuan Sword, Xue Tianqing finally stopped in front of a big mountain.
Before he could check his surroundings, a very kind voice sounded in his ears: "Baby, leave the coffin here. Carrying it around will only bring disaster."
Xue Tianqing was stunned: "Who are you?"
"I'm Li Er." As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with gray hair and a childish face appeared in front of Xue Tianqing.
Looking at the old man in front of him, Xue Tianqing took a long time to utter a sentence: "Are you a moral god?"
Seeing the old man nodding, he pointed behind him: "What is that thing chasing me behind?"
The Laojun smiled: "Of course it is the Supreme Laojun of this world."
Xue Tianqing was stunned: "You mean you are from another world?"
Lao Jun nodded: "Like you, I also come from the Central Plains. Baby, which year and month are you from?"
Xue Tianqing smiled bitterly: "Old gentleman, I don't know how to explain this. According to historical records, you are nearly three thousand years older than me."
"How's your hometown?"
"everything is fine."
"It's not easy to be recognized by Xuanyuan Sword! Okay, leave the ancestor's coffin behind and you can leave."
"Laojun, can you tell me what's going on?"
Lao Jun shook his head and said: "I am just a remnant soul. I have too much memory loss, so I can't answer you many things."
Xue Tianqing was shocked: "Tianzun, you said you are not the original body?"
"The real body is also here, but I don't know where it is. This world is different from the outside world. All existences are residual souls. Although their cultivation is intact, they cannot leave their own dojo, otherwise they will be destroyed physically and mentally."
Laojun's words made Xue Tianqing extremely surprised. Is it possible that so many masters are trapped in the Middle-earth world in the form of remnant souls?
Laojun raised his hand and patted Xue Tianqing's shoulder: "Since our ancestors, this world has been inextricably linked to the Central Plains, but no one can tell whether this connection is good or bad. Now you Having established a foothold in the outside world, we must seize the opportunity and reveal the secrets.”
Xue Tianqing still wanted to ask, but saw Lao Jun wave his hand: "It's time to go. If you don't leave, they will catch up."
Xue Tianqing heard this and took out the coffin from the Qiankun bag without any hesitation.
The reason why he was so happy was not only because Xuanyuan Sword brought him here, but also because he had an inexplicable trust in the old man in front of him.
Seeing the coffin appear, the old man stretched out his hand and held it firmly in his hand: "Remember, the world of Middle-earth is full of dangers, and you must not enter lightly if you are not well-educated."
Xue Tianqing raised the Xuanyuan Sword: "What should I do with this sword?"
"Just do as they say. When you can control this sword, you can take it out again."
Xue Tianqing bowed deeply to Lao Jun and was about to turn around and leave. Before he could take a step forward, Laojun grabbed his arm, and then an unusually simple ring appeared in front of Xue Tianqing.
"This is what I gave you as a gift. I'll give it to you. It may save your life at a critical moment."
Xue Tianqing said in surprise: "The one chasing after me also has this."
Laojun laughed: "You need to untie the joints yourself in the future."
