Chapter 1973: The Return of the Supreme Sacred Artifact
The news about Zhang Ruochen subduing Ruan Ling and turning the Canglong green quickly spread throughout the Kunlun world, and even spread to the Heavenly world and other major worlds.
In a very short period of time, Canglong became a complete laughing stock, and people everywhere were talking about it.
Because of this, Zhang Ruochen's fame has risen again. Compared with killing hundreds of thousands of troops in the hell world, everyone seems to prefer talking about such interesting things.
Zhang Ruochen did not pay attention to how things would develop and returned to Wuding Mountain with Shou Shu as quickly as possible.
As soon as he arrived at Wuding Mountain, Zhang Ruochen separated from Shu Shu and climbed to Shengshui Peak alone.
As soon as they arrived in front of the Holy Lady's Palace, Qi Feiyu came up to her and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhang, the palace owner has gone into seclusion. You can't see her for the time being."
"Retreat?" Zhang Ruochen frowned slightly.
He had just left for less than half a day, and Ling Feiyu went into seclusion, which was really beyond his expectation.
However, the matter between him and Ling Feiyu has been clearly explained, so there is no need to think about it any more.
With his mind spinning rapidly, Zhang Ruochen said: "In that case, I should say goodbye and leave, Senior Sister Qi, we will see you later."
The matter at Wuding Mountain has come to an end. Since Ling Feiyu has gone to retreat, there is no point in him staying in Wuding Mountain.
"See you later." Qi Feiyu nodded.
Glancing at the closed door of the Holy Lady's Palace again, Zhang Ruochen turned around, used spatial movement, and appeared directly at the foot of Wuding Mountain.
Within a moment, the first rat emerged from the ground.
"Master Chen, are you going to Phoenix Lake so soon?" Shuu Shu asked curiously.
They had just returned from outside, and he thought Zhang Ruochen would stay on Wuding Mountain for a few days.
Zhang Ruochen nodded and said: "The matter here is over, let's leave for Phoenix Lake immediately."
"No problem, Master Chen, you have the final say." Shu Shu immediately responded.
Without further delay, the two set off immediately and rushed to the 66th Gongde Branch Station again.
Wuding Mountain is far away from Phoenix Lake, so it is more convenient to go through the space teleportation array of Gongde Station.
Zhang Ruochen activated the Flowing Light Merit Armor and flew over the copper furnace at high speed.
Suddenly, a large amount of smoke rose up in front of us, and it became completely white, and a strange opportunity filled the air.
"Huh? Something weird."
Zhang Ruochen's eyes changed slightly, and he seemed to want to retreat.
However, before he could react, the surrounding environment had changed, and he and the first rat appeared in a bamboo forest.
The bamboo forest is very dense, the breeze blows, the bamboo waves roll, and the unique fragrance of green bamboo fills the air.
"Master Chen, what's going on?" Shushu asked, shrinking his head.
Zhang Ruochen didn't speak, but glanced around, taking in his surroundings.
Vaguely, a gentle melody came into his ears, like an ensemble of harp and xun, extremely melodious, coming from nowhere.
Zhang Ruochen tried to use spatial movement to exit the bamboo forest, but failed.
Exhaling slowly, Zhang Ruochen said, "Let's go and see who brought us here."
"Master Chen, wait for me."
The first rat followed quickly, fearing that he would be left alone.
At this time, it is undoubtedly the safest to follow Zhang Ruochen.
Following the sound of the harp and xun, Zhang Ruochen walked in the bamboo forest for a long time and finally saw the people playing the harp and xun.
They were two old men. One had slightly curly red hair, was dressed in linen, was very tall and burly, had a resolute face, and had sharp and domineering eyes. They were playing the piano at the moment.
Another old man, dressed in Tsing Yi, with a slightly stooped figure, eyes as sharp as a poisonous snake, and a strong and terrifying aura permeating his body, was blowing the xun at the moment.
Gazing across the two old men, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but shudder slightly. Both old men gave him an unfathomable and dangerous feeling.
The old man in green clothes gave him a very familiar feeling. The ferocious aura exuding from his body was exactly the same as the consciousness of the weapon spirit in the Qingtian Pagoda, but it was more powerful in nature.
In an instant, he had already guessed the identity of the old man in green.
"I've met these two seniors." Zhang Ruochen stepped forward, bowed and saluted.
The red-haired old man and the green-robed old man couldn't help but stop playing the harp and xun, and they all turned their attention to Zhang Ruochen.
A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the old man in green, and he suddenly stretched out a hand and struck out lightly.
Seeing this, Zhang Ruochen's expression changed dramatically, and he felt extremely threatened. He circulated the holy energy in his body and struck out with all his strength.
Dragons and elephants flew out, seeming to crowd the heaven and earth, and there were various strange phenomena.
"Bang."
Both the dragon shadow and the elephant shadow exploded into pieces, and a powerful palm force was firmly stamped on Zhang Ruochen's body.
Zhang Ruochen took a few steps back and then completely released his palm force.
Fortunately, he had the armor of flowing merit to withstand most of the palm force, and his body had been tempered in the copper furnace of life and death to withstand this palm, so he was able to survive without injury.
"Um?"
Seeing that Zhang Ruochen was safe and sound, the old man in green couldn't help but show a strange look.
Just when he was about to take action again, the red-haired old man stood up and said: "Brother Qing, don't forget your purpose."
"Too."
The old man in green responded and stretched out his hand to grab Zhang Ruochen.
Suddenly, the Qingtian Pagoda flew out of Zhang Ruochen's body, completely out of his control.
The old man in green is none other than the weapon spirit of Qingtian Pagoda.
Just as the spirit consciousness of the Qingtian Pagoda said at the time, its true form will return soon, and by then, no one will be able to forcibly control the Qingtian Pagoda.
What is certain is that the cultivation strength of the old man in green is that of a genuine great sage, and it is not as simple as the immortal state. To be able to walk in the Kunlun world, he must have used some kind of secret technique to conceal his aura, so that he can hide it from the heaven.
Inspection of the world and hell.
It is definitely not a good thing to be blocked by the artifact spirit of Qingtian Pagoda.
After all, the Qingtian Pagoda protects the Chi family, and he led the crowd to massacre the entire family of the Lingxiaotian Palace, which has already forged a deep hatred.
"Zhang Ruochen, do you know your guilt?" the old man in green asked coldly.
Zhang Ruochen stood up straight, neither humble nor arrogant, and said, "What crime am I guilty of?"
"You destroyed the Lingxiaotian Palace for your own selfish reasons, and you don't even know your guilt." The old man in green snorted coldly.
Zhang Ruochen was not frightened by the terrifying aura exuded by the old man in green, and said confidently: "Am I allowed to allow the Lingxiaotian Palace to kill my Zhang family members wantonly, but not allow me to destroy the Lingxiaotian Palace?"
The old man in green's eyes flashed with cold light and said: "You are using strong words to make sense. From my perspective, you have gone crazy. Kneel down immediately."
As he spoke, the old man in green exuded an extremely terrifying aura, crushing directly towards Zhang Ruochen, like a sacred mountain pressing down on Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen stood upright under tremendous pressure, gritted his teeth and said, "You think you can bully me because you are a great sage? I'm not even afraid of Chi Yao, so why would I be afraid of a weapon spirit like you?"
He had already seen that even if he surrendered and begged for mercy, the old man in green would not let him go.
Moreover, with his character, it is impossible for him to surrender and beg for mercy, especially from the Xiang Chi family.
"Be presumptuous and dare to be disrespectful to me. This is a capital crime." The old man in green released a strong killing intent, condensed cyan brilliance on his fingertips, and shot towards Zhang Ruochen.
This finger was extremely terrifying. Zhang Ruochen wanted to dodge, but his body couldn't move at all.
Just when he thought he was certain to die, the red-haired old man suddenly stood in front of him, blocking the cyan brilliance and the terrifying pressure, allowing him to regain his ability to move.
"Brother Chi, what do you mean?" the old man in green asked in a deep voice.
The red-haired old man smiled lightly and said: "Brother Qing, why are you so angry? The situation in Kunlun Realm is serious now. Zhang Ruochen is of great significance to this war, but you can't move."
"Brother Chi, you are overestimating him. Although he is a descendant of time and space, how much help can his strength help in blocking the hell world? Compared with those ancient sleepers, he is still far behind." In the eyes of the old man in blue.
A look of contempt emerged.
The red-haired old man shook his head and said: "Don't doubt the vision of Saint Monk Xumi. You will see for yourself in the future."
Hearing this, the old man in green frowned deeply. He could see that the red-haired old man was determined to protect Zhang Ruochen, and he could no longer take action.
"Okay, I'll give Brother Chi some face and let him go this time. But if he comes here again, don't blame me for being ruthless." The old man in green restrained his murderous intention and stopped targeting Zhang Ruochen.
After a pause, the old man in green continued: "Since the Qingtian Pagoda has been taken back, I will go back to the Central Imperial City first. Brother Chi, take my leave."
The red-haired old man didn't say anything, he just nodded slightly to the green-robed old man.
The old man in green looked at Zhang Ruochen with a cold look, then turned into a ray of blue light and disappeared without a trace.
Seeing the old man in green leave, Shou Shulian ran over, "Master Chen, are you okay?"
Zhang Ruochen nodded slightly, then bowed to thank the red-haired old man and said, "Thank you, senior, for helping me."
At this moment, he had already realized that, as expected, the red-haired old man should be the weapon spirit of the copper furnace of life and death.
Because the aura of the red-haired old man already felt familiar to him, it was exactly what he felt in the Copper Furnace of Life and Death.
The red-haired old man smiled faintly and said: "No need to be polite, you are the descendant of Saint Monk Xumi and the envoy of the Moon God. How can I just watch you make mistakes?"
Unlike the old man in green, the red-haired old man had a friendly attitude towards Zhang Ruochen and showed no airs.
"I have some questions. I wonder if senior can answer them for me?" Zhang Ruochen said with a solemn expression.
The red-haired old man stretched out his hand to stop the rat, and then asked Zhang Ruochen to sit down.
Putting away the guqin, the red-haired old man said with a smile: "I know what you want to ask. You just want to know why our weapon spirits disappeared. One hundred thousand years ago, all the weapon spirits of the supreme holy weapons in the Kunlun world disappeared. In fact,
There are two reasons.”
"The first is to avoid the Yuanhui catastrophe. Just like the gods, the weapon spirits of the Supreme Saint Artifact and the artifact spirits also need to survive the Yuanhui catastrophe. After surviving the Yuanhui catastrophe, they will naturally become stronger. If they cannot survive it, they will just
It can end up being destroyed into ashes."
"The second is to avoid an artifact in the hell world. That artifact is called the Soul-Eating Lamp. If we don't hide, I am afraid that all the spirits of the Supreme Sacred Artifact will not be able to escape the fate of being swallowed by the Soul-Eating Lamp.
.”
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen suddenly understood.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen had already made some guesses about the disappearance of the Kunlun Realm's Supreme Sacred Artifact Spirit, thinking that it was probably to avoid the disaster of the Yuanhui, but he did not expect that there was another reason.
You don't need to think about it to know that the Soul-eating Lamp must be extremely terrifying. If you really want it to swallow the spirit of all the Supreme Sacred Artifacts, then these Supreme Sacred Artifacts in the Kunlun Realm will be basically useless.
There is a world of difference between a supreme holy vessel without a weapon spirit and a supreme holy vessel with a weapon spirit.
"Where can I avoid the Yuanhui disaster and the soul-eating lamp?" Zhang Ruochen asked curiously.
The red-haired old man said: "You should have heard of the Taohun Platform, one of the ten most powerful artifacts in the Kunlun Realm. We have been hiding in the Taohun Platform for these years."
"Taohun Platform."
Zhang Ruochen's expression suddenly changed.
As a monk in the Kunlun Realm, he certainly knows the top ten artifacts in the Kunlun Realm, each of which possesses earth-shattering and terrifying power.
But to this day, all the ten artifacts have become legends, and some legends have been destroyed. It is unknown what kind of tragic war they have experienced.
And some disappeared without a trace and have never been seen in the world again since the Middle Ages.
As far as Zhang Ruochen knows, only the Emperor's Divine Ruler has been kept in the Inscription Guild, and the other is the Divine Dragon Sun and Moon Chaos Tower, which is in the hands of the mysterious powerful man from the Yin and Yang Sea.
As for the other artifacts, he was completely missing.
"Where is the Daohun Platform?" Zhang Ruochen asked again.
The red-haired old man shook his head slightly and said: "The Dao Soul Platform is of great importance. It is not appropriate for you to know these things for the time being. What I can tell you is that the existence of the Dao Soul Platform will affect the life and death of the entire Kunlun world. That will be
The key to the Kunlun Realm’s fight against the Hell Realm.”
Hearing this, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but stir up a storm in his heart. He believed that the red-haired old man was definitely not making alarmist remarks. He could only say that the Taohun Platform hid a great secret and was a trump card reserved by the Kunlun world.
Thinking about it from this, although the Kunlun Realm failed a hundred thousand years ago, it still left some backup forces that will play a role in this life.
For a time, Zhang Ruochen couldn't help but think of many things. Many seemingly unrelated things were now connected together.
People from all walks of life think that the Kunlun realm is very weak, with three or two big cats and kittens, but is this really the case?
Now even Zhang Ruochen can no longer see clearly the situation in Kunlun Realm. The water inside is too deep.
"Zhang Ruochen, you don't need to think too much. Just do what you want to do. When everything becomes clear, you will know what mission you need to shoulder." The red-haired old man said very meaningfully.
said.
After saying that, the red-haired old man turned into a stream of red light and left the bamboo forest, presumably to rush back to Wuding Mountain.
In the bamboo forest, Zhang Ruochen stood quietly and meditated, unable to calm down for a long time.
