Chapter 1,713 The golden cicada escapes from its shell
In the dark space, Canglong's laughter was slightly crazy.
Liang Yan watched the scene in front of him quietly, his eyes changing uncertainly.
A few days ago, when he visited Canglong Cave at night, he discovered a secret room inside. From the traces left in the secret room, he concluded that Canglong was researching a strange spell.
His intuition told him that this spell must be related to Canglong's tribulation.
However, Liang Yan's cultivation level was still shallow after all, so it was difficult to understand Yasheng's thoughts and he didn't know what role this spell would play in overcoming the tribulation.
Now it seems that Canglong no longer plans to use normal methods to overcome the tribulation, he wants to find another way!
"It is simply unbelievable to let the true spirit escape at the critical moment of overcoming the tribulation! But to take a step back, even if he saved his true spirit through this method, he would have failed to overcome the tribulation this time...
.After all, if you want to become a saint, you must steal the origin of heaven. Your true spirit has escaped, how can you steal the power of the origin?"
Liang Yan frowned and looked confused.
From his perspective, it was difficult to understand Cang Long's intentions, so he did not make any moves, but quietly lurked in the darkness.
Canglong laughed for a while, and then the true spirit fell from the sky and landed in front of the female cultivator in white.
Regarding the identity of this female cultivator in white, Liang Yan had a guess in his mind. It was probably the master that Nan Youyue and Yu Xiaolong had been looking for, that is, the sub-sage Baili Xuanyin of Yuzhu Mountain.
Her whole body was entangled with roots and vines, and these vines were like living creatures. They would attack other monks if they found them approaching.
Canglong's true spirit stopped in front of the female cultivator in white. As the glow turned, it transformed into a human form, similar to Canglong's old Taoist appearance, except that its whole body was made of green glow, not flesh and blood.
He looked up and down at the female cultivator in white, as if appreciating his own masterpiece, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
The next moment, Cang Long raised his hand and cast a spell, and the surrounding roots and vines slowly dispersed, shrinking back into the darkness like poisonous snakes.
The body of the female cultivator in white lost her support, fell downwards, and was imprisoned in mid-air by Canglong's magic.
"Fellow Daoist Baili, becoming a saint is too difficult! I have tried it just now. With our strength, there is no way to fight against the way of heaven..."
In the darkness, Canglong's true spirit sighed softly, but not long after, he laughed again:
"Although it is difficult to become a saint, I have found a way. It is rare that you and I both practice the Yimu Law and have reached the sub-sage realm. As long as we work together, we still have a chance to fight against the way of heaven!"
While speaking, Canglong raised his right hand.
His body gradually melted and turned into a stream of turquoise water that spread forward and soon covered the surface of Baili Xuanyin's body, gradually merging with her...
As the water ripples continued to spread, the surface of Baili Xuanyin's body emitted a cyan light, and her face also changed slightly, becoming three-thirds similar to the young Canglong!
Liang Yan hid in the dark and watched the whole process, with a look of surprise on his face.
"What is Canglong going to do? Is he going to seize the body?"
"No...this is not a body-stealing...he seems to be merging with Baili Xuanyin..."
Thinking of this, Liang Yan suddenly recalled the cauldron he saw in the secret room and the records on it:
"One part for the spirit, five parts for the soul, three parts for the flesh, two parts for the true spirit, and four parts each for the bones and blood..."
"Could this be Canglong Shenyan's spell? No wonder I saw that Baili Xuanyin was a bit weird before. It didn't look like a human, but more like a container... It seems that Canglong has already prepared everything.
Just wait to cast this spell when you are about to overcome the tribulation!"
Liang Yan vaguely thought of something. It seemed that Canglong had not given up on overcoming the tribulation. He wanted to use the power of Baili Xuanyin to overcome the tribulation and become a saint!
However, there is still something unreasonable about this.
Since Canglong's true spirit has left the Tribulation Platform, wouldn't it mean that if the Dao of Heaven could not find his true spirit, it would leave? In this way, although Canglong could save his life, he would also have no chance of becoming a saint.
Unless...Tiandao is attracted by something!
Liang Yan's mind was sharp and he suddenly grasped the key point of the whole matter.
Twelve tribulations!
"I see... No wonder Canglong invited twelve Transformation Tribulation Realm monks to Wuzhuang Mountain. He knew clearly that these people had their own agendas, but he always turned a blind eye. It turned out that he planned to make these people the scapegoats!"
"But the question is, how can he deceive the way of heaven and let those monks in the Tribulation Realm take the blame for him?"
Liang Yan still can't figure this out.
But he knew that the direction of his guess should be correct. In other words, at this moment, the twelve transformation calamities, including Li Yile and Qin An, were facing a huge crisis!
According to Liang Yan's original plan, after he completed Li Yile's mission and absorbed his luck, he would try to unlock the entrance seal and enter the inheritance place of Tianji Pavilion.
But now, he has changed his mind.
"No... Xuanyuan City behind Qin An and Ten Thousand Beast Mountain behind Li Yile. These two forces are now in the same camp as our Wushuang City! In order to understand the danger of Wushuang City, these two ventured to Wuzhuang Mountain.
I can't just sit back and do nothing no matter what."
Thinking of this, Liang Yan decided not to enter Tianji Pavilion for the time being, but to help Qin An and Li Yile.
"Judging from Canglong's appearance, it will take some time before he can be completely integrated with Baili Xuanyin. Before that, he was just a true spirit with no foundation. If I attack him secretly, I may not have a chance to defeat him!"
Liang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, his thoughts were racing, and he had already planned the location of the sneak attack in an instant.
He secretly made a sword secret with his right hand, and the Dingguang Sword Pill turned into invisible sword light, dormant beside him, waiting for his thoughts to move, and immediately launched an attack on Canglong!
But at this moment, Liang Yan's consciousness jumped and he suddenly noticed something was wrong.
"wrong......."
Liang Yan's eyes flashed, and the right hand that originally held the sword secret gradually relaxed.
"There is a slight change in the aura around Old Master Canglong. This is definitely not the aura belonging to Canglong!"
He discovered something strange, looked at it carefully, and found that there was a slight fluctuation in the space above Canglong's head!
If it were normal, even Liang Yan would be able to detect this subtle fluctuation, and Canglong, as the "Asian Saint", would naturally be able to detect it as well.
But now, he only has a ray of true spirit left, and his magical power is greatly reduced. In addition, he is currently concentrating on merging with Baili Xuanyin, so it is difficult to notice the subtle changes around him.
"The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole is behind! Are there even 'oriole's here?!"
Liang Yan felt a chill in his heart and temporarily gave up his plan to take action.
The situation in Wuzhuang Mountain is strange. If you take action rashly, you may be ambushed by others, and your death will be unknown.
Liang Yan calmed down and did not act rashly. Instead, he held on to the sword technique and secretly guarded against possible changes.
A moment passed like this, and most of Canglong's true spirit had attached itself to Baili Xuanyin's body.
The breaths of the two gradually merged, the power of the law was shared, and even their appearance gradually changed...
But at this critical moment, a gray air suddenly appeared around Canglong.
This gray energy came out of nowhere, without any warning before it appeared. After it appeared, it immediately became entangled with Canglong's true spirit.
"Huh?"
Canglong was startled and looked down, only to see that this wisp of gray energy seemed to be alive and actively penetrated into his true spirit.
"Who? Who's here?!"
Canglong looked around, his voice a little surprised.
He now also knew that someone was plotting against him, but he couldn't understand that his plan was so seamless and no information was leaked beforehand. Who would be waiting for him here in advance?
no answer.
In the dark space, there was no sound except Canglong's own echo.
After all, Canglong is a powerful sub-sage. Although he suffered huge changes, he did not lose his composure. He used his magical powers to suppress the strange gray energy while looking around intently, trying to find the uninvited guests hidden in the darkness.
Suddenly, Canglong raised his hand and cast a spell, and Yimu's spiritual power surged out, turning into an ancient wooden sword and stabbing somewhere in the darkness.
The green glow flashed, but there was no response...
Cang Long frowned slightly, made a hand seal again, and used various magical powers one after another, bombarding every corner of the dark space.
Rumble!
A series of explosions were heard, and a brilliant light exploded in the dark space!
Liang Yan, who was hiding in the dark, couldn't help but change his face slightly when he saw this scene, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
Although he has not been exposed yet, if Canglong continues to search in this way, he will discover his existence sooner or later!
"What is this? It's obviously not me who attacked him, but now I'm asked to take the blame..."
Liang Yan cursed secretly in his heart.
At the same time, the spiritual power in his body was quietly moving, and the Dingguang Sword Pill was ready to go. If it was exposed, he was ready to strike first!
Boom!
Another muffled sound came.
Canglong's spiritual power turned into a green dragon, cutting through the darkness and roaring towards him!
This time, the direction pointed by his magical power was exactly the direction where Liang Yan was hiding!
"No! I was really fooled by him!"
Liang Yan's eyes shrank slightly, and the spiritual power in his body was circulating, preparing to activate his Dingguang Sword Pill.
But at this moment, the originally powerful Qinglong suddenly shattered halfway with a "bang!" and turned into dots of green light, dissipating into the darkness...
"Huh?"
Liang Yan was startled and looked forward intently.
Canglong's face was slightly pale, his true spirit aura was chaotic, and even Baili Xuanyin, which had been half-fused, was actually bleeding from his seven orifices at this time!
"It turns out he was injured!"
Liang Yan suddenly felt enlightened.
No wonder Canglong's spell dissipated in mid-air. It seemed that he had been injured just now, and the injury was not serious. He had only been halfway through this magical power, and he could no longer hold on!
Fortunately, this way, Liang Yan doesn't have to expose himself.
But he still couldn't figure out how Cang Long was injured? Is it because of that inconspicuous wisp of gray energy? Judging from the magical powers he used before, he was still full of energy, so why did he suddenly feel deflated?
Same, can't even maintain the spell?
Liang Yan was puzzled and looked intently, only to see that Cang Long's face was extremely serious.
His integration with Baili Xuanyin was hindered, and the true spirit and the physical body were even repelled. Tumors bulged on the originally handsome cheeks, and the whole body was also undergoing strange changes. It no longer looked like a human being.
Like a monster.
"His spell was interrupted... There was a change in the fusion. What is the origin of that wisp of gray energy? It has such power that even Yasheng cannot resist it?"
Liang Yan felt fear in his heart.
That wisp of inconspicuous gray energy was now tightly wrapped around Canglong's true spirit, like gangrene attached to the bone. No matter how Canglong tried his best, he could not drive it away.
Liang Yan's eyes were fixed on that wisp of gray air. Suddenly, a light flashed in his eyes, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
"Why...I feel a little familiar. Have I seen this thing somewhere?"
Liang Yan frowned slightly and carefully recalled his previous experiences, trying to find the origin of his anger.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, he still couldn't remember where he had seen it before. He just felt a sense of familiarity...
Just when Liang Yan was puzzled, the void suddenly opened above Canglong's head, and then a ray of rays of light shot out, enveloping Canglong's true spirit.
"ah!"
In the twilight, Canglong let out a scream.
There was already a problem with his fusion, and he became neither human nor ghost. At this time, under the shroud of the glow, he began to slowly melt, and his body gradually turned into a puddle of mud. Although he still had limbs and facial features, he was ugly.
Unbearable.
At the same time, a voice as gentle as jade came from the void:
“Fellow Daoist Canglong, how does my ‘Beiming Immortal Mirror’ taste?”
Hearing this voice, Canglong's expression suddenly changed.
"It's you!"
Amid the exclamation, Cang Long looked up and saw the cracks in the void gradually spreading. After a moment, two figures walked out side by side.
One of them is wearing a blue gown and has a gentle and elegant temperament. He is none other than Ji Wuchen, a casual cultivator from Changliu Mountain during the Twelve Transformations!
There is another person, dressed in plain clothes and as elegant as a chrysanthemum, but he is Lin Suxin, who was known as the "wonderful doctor" during the twelve transformations!
"Why are they?"
Liang Yan hid in the dark, with a look of surprise on his face.
He thought of many possibilities, it might be Demon Lord Qingyun, or Sima Han, or even Li Yile, but he never thought about these two people.
Judging from their previous performances, their magical powers were mediocre and their personalities were indifferent and natural. During the past few days in Wuzhuang Mountain, Demon Lord Qingyun and Sima Han had been secretly stirring up the storm, but nothing unusual was discovered about these two people.
But now, this weird scene has actually happened!
In the dark space, Ji Wuchen walked in the air with a smile on his face, like a gentle scholar who made people fall in love with him at a glance.
There was an ancient white jade mirror suspended above his head. The glow that enveloped Canglong just now came from this ancient mirror.
"Fellow Daoist Canglong, you're fine!" Ji Wuchen chuckled.
"Huh! I made a mistake."
In the mirror light, Canglong's aura was weak, he gritted his teeth and said bitterly: "I didn't expect the 'Wuchen layman' from Changliu Mountain to be the 'Mirror Star Official', one of the nineteen star officials in Tiangong City!"
