After sixty thousand years of practice, the number of Dao Lights Zhang Ruochen cultivated reached forty.
It coincides with Xiaoyan’s number.
But it's not perfect.
Thirty-seven of them are bright and bright, while the remaining three are very faint and have different shapes.
Among these thirty-seven groups of bright and shining Daoguang, in addition to the twenty groups that had been cultivated before, fourteen of them were trained by the nine-headed stone man to become a Taoist. The other three groups were from the source of the devil, the stone knife, Luo Zuyunshanjie, and Mani.
The learning in the beads is outlined, originating from the three ancestors: Demon, Demon Patriarch, and Kasyapa Buddha.
Thirty-seven groups of Dao light are all intertwined according to the rules of the ancestors, and Zhang Ruochen "stole" their Dao.
As for the remaining three groups of Dao Light, which are very weak and have different shapes, Zhang Ruochen learned to draw the first two from Styx and Black Hands.
The first shape is like the "River of Styx", and the second shape is like the "Invisible Seal of All Things".
The last ball of light is very similar to Zhang Ruochen's time and space divine mark that has been lost in the ancient times. It was drawn by Zhang Ruochen from the deepest principles of Guimen Pass, Jiange, and Netherworld Dungeon. It comes from the ancestors of time and space, and it is the most difficult one for him to practice.
.
The three groups of light correspond to the paths of the three immortals respectively.
Unfortunately, it is extremely unstable and will fall apart when blown by the wind.
"Xiao Yan's number is forty, and its use is thirty-seven. If the remaining three groups of light can be completed, it will be Xiao Yan's Dzogchen. At that time, the spirit, rules, and order will all undergo a qualitative change and enter the semi-finals.
The ancestral realm.”
Zhang Ruochen took out the Desolate Moon and secretly thought about whether to explore its interior again, saying that it might not be possible to complete the "Invisible Seal of All Things" ball of light and advance his cultivation further.
Eventually, give up on this idea.
Empress Shi Ji had held it for 60,000 years but did not dare to swallow it. She finally chose to let it go and give it to Zhang Ruochen, which shows how terrifying the danger hidden inside Huang Yue is.
Moreover, Zhang Ruochen has another way to complete the "Invisible Seal of All Things" Daoguang.
That is the "dark soul fire" suppressed in the dragon's nest.
This dark soul fire is an eternal soul separated by the Dark Lord, which took away Shangqing. With this, Shangqing reached the level of Tianzun in a very short period of time.
This shows how powerful the Dark Lord and this dark soul fire are.
This is also the reason why Zhang Ruochen and Empress Shiji felt extremely dangerous after learning that the Seventy-Two-Rank Lotus was refining the Dark Lord's immortal soul.
Because the immortal souls obtained by the Seventy-Two-Rank Lotus must be far more than the one in the Dragon's Nest.
Before you know it, the Wuding Divine Sea is within sight.
The big world centered on the Wuding Divine Sea has grown to 2,000, and the former Hundred Clans Royal City Star Region and the Dark Triangle Star Region have been included in the Sword World territory.
In addition, part of the heavenly universe and hell realm are also occupied.
This was the result of Zhang Ruochen's long negotiations.
The Heavenly Universe and the Hell Realm themselves do not want to continue the war, and do not want to put all their power into restraining each other. With the Sword Realm in the middle, conflicts can be reduced.
The divine ship entered the Wuding Divine Sea and headed straight for the Sword Realm of Guixu.
"Chi Yao" who was in the Kunlun Realm and the "Five Dragon God Emperor" in the Tianlong Realm immediately sensed the situation and peered into the sky, and then rushed to the Sword Realm at the same time.
…
Since the emergence of the Eternal Divine Kingdom, it has become increasingly difficult to obtain the mark of divine martial arts, and more monks under the Sword Realm have embarked on the path of spiritual cultivation.
As a result, great spiritual sects appeared explosively in the Sword World universe.
As the number one spiritual monk in the world, Taishang naturally wanted to establish a sect, with Xiao Hei as the first sect leader and the Shen Yun Sect was established.
Xiao Hei's mental power has reached level 89, so he is certainly qualified for this.
Once he becomes reliable, he can definitely be regarded as a good teacher. When he was young, Zhang Ruochen's cultivation path was guided by him.
This is what he always brags about!
The divine ship went straight to the Divine Meteor Sect and stopped outside the sect's gate.
Xiaohei had already sensed the secret of Zhang Ruochen's return. Wearing a wide green robe and a one-foot-high Zizhan hat, with a beard like a needle and deep eyes, he stood at the mountain gate to greet him.
Zhang Ruochen gave instructions to A Le, Bai Qing'er, and Xiu Chen on the divine ship, then left the ship alone and landed next to Xiao Hei.
"Is the visitor Haotian?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Xiao Hei and Zhang Ruochen walked quickly towards the hinterland of Shen Yun Sect.
"Besides him, who else can alert the master and invite you back?"
I don’t know if it’s just pretending, or time has made Xiao Hei mature and steady. He looked worried and said cautiously: “It seems that Haotian is going to have a showdown this time, and many mysteries will be solved. And this is also the case.
It means that a storm that he cannot cope with is about to come, and he has to go to the sword world to ask for help."
While they were talking, the two of them had arrived at the residence of the owner of the God of Death Island.
This is a simple and simple courtyard, with ivy fences and yellow stone paths.
Two big white geese were playing outside the yard.
Further away, Zhang Ruochen saw through time and space. In the fog of space, a towering fifty-four-story tower stood like a pillar supporting the heaven and earth.
Over the years, the Lord of the God of Death Island has spent most of his time in the Forging Sword Pavilion, the Netherworld Dungeon, and the Gate of Hell.
Only by building a seventy-two-story tower can we compete with the ancestors.
Xuanyuan Lian stood outside the wooden door of the courtyard, wearing a green robe embroidered with plum orchids and a skirt woven with clouds. She was dressed in women's clothing, wearing a pearl hairpin and a sword of light hanging from her waist. She was both charming and elegant.
"Lord Di Chen, I have been waiting for you for many days!" she said.
Zhang Ruochen smiled, hugged his fists, exchanged a few words, and walked in together.
Haotian and the owner of the Death God Island were playing chess in the courtyard.
Haotian seemed to be in a dilemma. He held the black piece and thought for a long time. Seeing Zhang Ruochen's arrival, he immediately put the chess piece back into the chess case and said: "Di Chen's cultivation has improved again!"
Zhang Ruochen said: "Looking at Tianzun's aura, I think he has refined the source of the ancestor's god, and his cultivation has reached an unknown level."
The ancestral divine source of the nine-headed stone man is by no means comparable to the divine source of those ancient ancestors, and its activity is countless times stronger.
In addition to Chi Yao and the Five Dragon God Emperor, Gai Mie, Old Drunkard, Thousand Bones Empress, Master Jie and other top powerhouses appeared outside one after another, but when they saw Queen Haotian, they all stopped and looked strange.
Apparently they had no idea of Haotian's arrival before.
Haotian didn't shy away from anything, and said: "Di Chen, do you know why I must see you in person?"
"I think it has something to do with the imminent opening of the Yuhuang Realm."
Zhang Ruochen naturally sat on the other side of the chess table and looked at the chess game.
To be able to break through the auras of Haotian and the Master of the God of Death Island and be on an equal footing with them requires strong cultivation and unparalleled courage.
Haotian nodded lightly and said: "When you went to the Heavenly Palace to borrow the source of the ancestors to gain enlightenment, you asked me where the twenty-four heavens were fighting and what happened. I didn't tell you because the time has not come. Now.
, the time has come!”
Zhang Ruochen said: "In the Yuhuang Realm, or in the Xujie Sea?"
Haotian was not surprised that Zhang Ruochen could guess that with Zhang Ruochen's current cultivation level and status, there were not many secrets between heaven and earth.
"The two battles that have had the greatest impact on our era took place in the Yuhuang Realm before the 11th Yuanhui and in the Xu Jinghai about 400,000 years ago."
Haotian's eyes were deep and solemn, and he added: "Eleven Yuanhui, it was the Great Master who took action to stop the small amount of tribulation launched by the immortal. It was a battle of the ancestors, and I don't know what happened specifically.
It’s clear, but Wu Ding played a vital role.”
"I guess that the great master used the witch cauldron to break the rules of time and space. From the long river of time, he invited several witch ancestors from the ancient times to help him, and then he severely damaged the immortal."
The Wuding Cauldron itself can harness the power of the nine great witch ancestors for its own use.
In the past, the moon gods used the witchcraft cauldron to communicate the power of witchcraft across time and space.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "Why does Tianzun have such a guess?"
Haotian said: "Because 400,000 years ago, when the twenty-four heavens were fighting, Niishen Tianzun borrowed the witch cauldron from the holy monk Xumi, and also attracted the power of several witch ancestors. Of course, Niishen Tianzun's cultivation
Because, they are far inferior to the Great Master, so it was only the dragons and others with the blood of the ancestors of the witches who burned themselves that they were able to succeed."
Zhang Ruochen was silent and said with a wry smile: "No wonder Ancient God Panyuan complained that you didn't give him a place back then, but allowed the dragons who were not as good as him to go. It seems that the God-defying Heavenly Lord knows something. Before the dragons and the others went,
Knowing that he must die."
Haotian said: "But it was also because of their sacrifices that in the battle 400,000 years ago, we fought against the Ming Ancestor and both sides suffered losses. Of course, the Ming Ancestor had been seriously injured before this and escaped from the long river of time.
To the end of the void sea."
Everything is right.
Ancient God Panyuan has said it before, and now it is truly confirmed.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "What kind of person is Mingzu?"
Haotian shook his head gently, and his tone was a little more serious: "It is a ball of dark light, and the true body cannot be seen. Perhaps her true body was shattered before the eleven Yuanhui, and escaped from the long river of time to 400,000 years ago.
, before they had time to gather together, they were ambushed by us."
"If we really want her to condense her true form, there will be no way to fight, and even self-destruction of the divine source will have no effect."
"Actually, some heavens don't have to sacrifice themselves to harness the power of the witch ancestors. But we found a traitor and leaked the secret to the monks of the Mingzu faction. At the most critical moment, the corpse demon and Minghai appeared one after another.
At that time, the Corpse Demon was hidden inside the Nether Sea and did not reveal its true form, and its cultivation was far from reaching the realm of the ancestors."
"One by one, the heavens went forward to explode the divine source, some rushed towards the underworld ancestor Mingguang, and some rushed towards the underworld sea."
"Originally, I, Yan Huanyu, and the Sixth Patriarch were all prepared to die. It was Ni Shen Tianzun who asked us to leave with the material of the Anti God Monument. Because the material of the Anti God Monument was knocked down from the underworld light of Ancestor Ming.
It may not be possible to use it to check the Hades Ancestor in the future."
"We escaped, and the Counter God Tianzun rushed towards Mingzu Mingguang and Minghai, turning into a bright storm of destruction."
Haotian's tone gradually became calmer. Apparently, over the past hundreds of thousands of years, the scenes of that year have flashed back in his mind countless times.
"Fear, worry, confusion, and helplessness fill my heart. I know that Mingzu is definitely not dead and will definitely take revenge. But, everyone in the world is dead, who can stop Mingzu? Depend on me, can I do it?
?”
"So, after escaping back, I chose to retreat. I didn't want to see anyone. I practiced hard and made myself forget my fear during the practice."
"Until the bad news of the death of the Sixth Patriarch came, until the Great Elder found me with the Anti-God Monument and asked me to come out and become the Lord of Heaven. Because, facing the attack from the hell world, the scattered Heaven was in danger.
, if no one comes forward to take charge of the overall situation, the consequences will be disastrous."
"I didn't dare. I didn't have the guts to become the Lord of Heaven and face the Underworld Ancestor directly."
"But when I saw the Nishen Monument, saw the text imprints on it, and listened to the Great Elder's narration of the Sixth Patriarch's last words, as well as the news that Yan Huanyu might have died, I knew that I had no way out."
"Even if I know that I am definitely no match for Mingzu, even if my heart is filled with despair, and even if my heart is filled with fear, I can only stand up."
"Because there is no one in front of me!"
"I can only face the wind and rain, grit my teeth, not daring to reveal a trace of weakness in my heart, and continue to move forward with all living beings. Everything can only be hidden in my heart. Do I want to tell the world that we have no hope?"
Xuanyuan Lian's eyes were already filled with tears.
She had never seen Haotian so weak before, completely taking out his heart and showing it to everyone bloody.
It turns out that there is no strong person with an indestructible mentality in this world.
A warrior can only force himself to be strong and never fall.
Zhang Ruochen could imagine Haotian's hardship and loneliness at that time. He was obviously desperate for the future, but he hid this emotion and did not tell anyone.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Actually, the Ming Ancestor faction is also afraid. They are extremely jealous of you and the monks in this world. Otherwise, they would not secretly set up an organization to provoke a war between the hell world and heaven to weaken the strength of the monks in this world."
"The reason for provoking the war may be to secretly absorb blood and souls to heal wounds." Haotian said.
Zhang Ruochen said: "I'm very curious. More than 200,000 years ago, at the end of the Middle Ages, the small catastrophe that affected the entire universe was probably initiated by the Hades, right? Who fought them off?"
Haotian said: "God Realm! It is impossible for the God Realm to let the Hades Ancestor faction devour the entire universe. They check and balance each other. It is this battle that makes me see hope for the future. The Underworld Ancestors are not invincible."
"Zhang Ruochen, do you know why I can show my weak side today and tell you the words that have been stored for many years?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "This shows that after hundreds of thousands of years of hard work, Tianzun's state of mind finally broke through, and he no longer has fear and despair. Telling it means that he doesn't care anymore! If he doesn't tell it, he cares."
Today's Haotian is just like what Zhang Ruochen saw at Xuanyuan Lian's porridge shop. He is just a middle-aged Confucian scholar who has truly returned to his original nature.
Haotian said: "It's because in this era, too many like-minded monks have been born. I am no longer alone. Even if I fall one day, you will still be here. There are countless possibilities in the future."
"The Yuhuang Realm is about to open, what is the Sword Realm's plan?"
Zhang Ruochen glanced at the owner of the God of Death Island, and then looked at Wentianjun who had arrived at the door.
Both of them were silent and just nodded to him.
Obviously the decision-making power was given to him.
Zhang Ruochen said: "Since we are in a dilemma, it is better to take the initiative to start a war. I have brought you good news. An old monster has been awakened in the Dark Abyss and destroyed the Great Ming Mountain. The news should soon spread to the Sword Realm and Heaven."
