When he met Lu Xuanji again, Zhou Yang could clearly sense that he was about to die soon.
This is not only because his face is much older than when he was in the "Wonderland of Heaven", but more importantly, he is beginning to exude an aura of decay and withering.
That kind of aura was no stranger to Zhou Yang. In the past, the elders of the Zhou family would have this aura appearing on their bodies when they were nearing their death.
The difference is that Lu Xuan is a ninth-level Nascent Soul "half-step true immortal" monk, so this kind of aura on his body will appear a few years in advance, unlike those Qi-training monks and foundation-building monks who only wait a few days before death.
This will only happen in the future.
Zhou Yang didn't know what happened to Lu Xuanji.
He remembered that the other party had said in the "Qiongtian Fairyland" that his lifespan was still hundreds of years long, so logically speaking, this situation would not happen so soon.
However, this is the other party's private matter after all, and it is definitely not a good idea to pry into the private affairs of a monk whose cultivation level is higher than your own.
So he didn't say anything, he just asked a few juniors to come forward with him to salute him, and then he obeyed Lu Xuanji's command honestly.
"It's almost time, let's go."
On a certain mountain peak outside Zhenyue Immortal City, after Lu Xuanji saw Zhou Yang and his group who came to meet, his eyes stayed on Zhou Yang and Lu Xuewei for a while, then he waved his sleeves and directly released a cyan ship.
The flying boat took everyone into the flying boat.
As for Yin Hanguang, a monk in the Nascent Soul stage, he certainly entered the flying boat on his own initiative.
Lu Xuanji's flying boat is a fifth-level high-grade flying magic weapon. Under the urging of him, a ninth-level Nascent Soul "half-step true immortal" monk, the flying speed is several times faster than Zhou Yang's flying cloud flight. In one day,
It can fly hundreds of thousands of miles.
And unlike Zhou Yang who had to work diligently and carefully to hide his whereabouts when crossing the Duanyun Mountains, Lu Xuanji had no intention of hiding his whereabouts at all, and directly commanded the flying boat to rush up to the sky and enter the "Nine Heavens Absolute Territory" above the sky.
At an altitude of more than 7,000 feet in the "Ling Huan Realm", it is also called the "Nine Heavens Absolute Realm", where the "Nine Heavens Gang Wind" blows all year round, which can kill Jindan monks. Non-Nascent Soul monks cannot
Among them long-term stays.
After Zhou Yang successfully formed the elixir, he also flew to that height out of curiosity. As a result, he only stayed in the Gangfeng layer formed by the "Nine Heavens Gangfeng" for less than a quarter of an hour before he had to descend to the altitude to exit the Gangfeng layer. From then on,
I don't dare to set foot in that area easily again.
But in the "Nine Heavens Absolute Territory" that he did not dare to set foot on easily, Lu Xuanji, a ninth-level Nascent Soul "half-step true immortal", could walk in it as easily as walking on flat ground.
Being in the "Nine Heavens Realm", looking down through the blue shield formed by the flying boat, all you can see is a vast sea of white clouds.
And in the sea of clouds, occasionally a mountain peak with two peaks emerging from the sea of clouds will appear. Those peaks are all peaks of at least 3,000 feet, and each one is at least a fifth-level spiritual mountain.
On those spiritual mountains, there were also high-level demonic beasts that saw the azure flying boat flying in the "Nine Heavens Absolute Territory" above, but they only watched from a distance and did not dare to show their heads and attack the azure flying boat.
High-level monsters are not low in intelligence. How can they not know that those flying boats that can move in the "Nine Heavens Absolute Domain" are definitely not existences that they can afford to provoke. If they dare to show their heads and attack, they will definitely die without knowing how.
.
Of course, it's not like they didn't do anything. At least they notified the sixth-order demon kings of what they saw using the communication tools sent by the demon kings.
But generally speaking, as long as the passing Nascent Soul Stage monks keep flying in the "Nine Heavens Absolute Territory" and do not harm the middle and low-level monsters in the Duanyun Mountains, the sixth-order monster kings will generally not care about such things.
Despite this, it is still rare for Yuanying-stage monks who dare to cross the Duanyun Mountains openly like Lu Xuanji, at least when Yin Hanguang, a mid-stage Yuanying monk, came from the far west to Liuyun Continent to cultivate the immortal world.
, I didn’t dare to be so high-profile.
Zhou Yang, who was on the flying boat, saw this scene and felt a surge of heroic ambition in his heart.
This is the life he envies and pursues!
Entering and exiting the Qingming, descending to the abyss, there is nowhere you can't go, there is nowhere you can't reach, wherever your heart is, that's where you go!
He was in an uplifted mood and couldn't help but encourage and preach to the juniors around him:
"Take a good look at this scene. You may only have this opportunity to see this kind of scenery in your life!"
"You may not be able to do this in this life, but you must remember in your heart that this is the realm we pursue as immortal cultivators, and this is the goal that immortal cultivators should pursue!"
"One thing to remember is that the road is long and long, and I will search up and down!"
Lu Xuewei and several other juniors were originally identified as Lu Xuanji and Yin Hanguang. Ever since they boarded the flying boat, they have stood obediently in the corner of the flying boat, not daring to say a word.
At this time, when I heard the passionate words of Zhou Yang, an elder, and looked at the vast and spectacular sea of clouds below, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed. I suddenly overcame my fear of being a monk in the Nascent Soul Stage.
Everyone straightened their spines and responded loudly: "I will obey the teachings of Master (ancestor)!"
Seeing this situation, Lu Xuanji couldn't help but look sideways at Zhou Yang, with a flash of approval in his eyes.
He nodded slightly with a soothing expression and said: "The road is long and long, and I will search up and down. This sentence is really good, and it touches my heart!"
After saying this, he seemed to be aroused with the pride in his chest, and he couldn't help but said loudly: "The road to immortality is difficult to find. Without such determination and awareness, how can we seek true immortality? How can we seek true immortality?
Happy!"
Even Lian Yin Hanguang chewed these words thoughtfully and carefully, then nodded slightly and said: "Little friend Zhou is absolutely right. If we, the cultivators of immortality, want to succeed, we must have an indomitable determination to win.
He has the fearless courage to fight against heaven and earth, and he has the wisdom to carry on the past and forge ahead to surpass his predecessors!"
The cry of "Little Friend Zhou" showed that he finally began to take Zhou Yang seriously, as a Golden Core monk, and recognized Zhou Yang's potential to become one of them in the future.
"The juniors also felt something for a moment, but they have never seen it as thoroughly as the two seniors. Now that I heard the precious words of the two seniors, I suddenly woke up!"
Zhou Yang smiled modestly, then bowed his hands to the two Nascent Soul monks and said, "I cannot repay the teachings of these two seniors. Please accept this gift."
His words and actions were naturally flattering, but this kind of flattery was not artificial at all and would only make the two Nascent Soul Stage monks happy.
So next, the two Nascent Soul monks who were happy to be flattered by him also gave him some pointers on some of the questions he encountered in his practice. They even helped Lu Xuewei get some light from Lu Xuanji.
There are several ways to alleviate the influence of the "Bingpo Manual" on your temperament.
After flying like this for several days, Zhou Yang, who was aboard the flying boat, suddenly noticed a bare mountain peak in the distance that went straight into the green underworld.
The top of the mountain peak goes straight into the "Nine Heavens Absolute Territory", and the height is higher than the height they are at at this time.
"That's..."
Zhou Yang looked at the bare mountain peak, as if he thought of something, his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but look at Lu Xuanji.
"That's Jietian Peak, the highest peak in the Duanyun Mountains. I'm worried that the escaped [Splitting Heavenly Demon] will find the space crack in the boundless sand sea, and then use the pure demonic energy there to restore his cultivation, so I came here this time
, I want to invite the [Tongtian Demon King] who is proficient in the art of sealing in the Duanyun Mountain Range to go over and take a look at the space crack to see if there is a way to seal it!"
Lu Xuanji knew what Zhou Yang was worried about, so he couldn't help but smile lightly and explained his plan to him.
When Zhou Yang heard this, his expression could not help but soften, but he still couldn't help but ask: "But will the [Tongtian Demon King] agree? The demon clan in the Duanyun Mountain Range hates us human monks very much!"
"Huh, there's no way he can't agree to this!"
Lu Xuanji snorted and said with a sneer on his face: "You must know that the demons not only like to devour the souls of our immortal cultivators, but also like to enslave their demons and dye them into demon beasts. In ancient times, when the demons invaded, they demons
The clan was also one of the victims. At that time, in the True Immortal Realm, there were also demon clan’s True Spirits who had been slaying demons in the lower realm!”
Zhou Yang understood immediately.
Compared with the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent, the Duanyun Mountain Range is obviously closer to the space crack in the "Death Sand Sea". If the "Splitting Heavenly Demon" is allowed to run there and regain its strength, what kind of demon secret method can be used to crack the space crack?
If it turns into a demon world passage, when the demon army comes over, the demon clan in Duanyun Mountain Range will definitely bear the brunt.
Of course, before that, the Boundless Sand Sea Immortal World will definitely be destroyed first.
This made Zhou Yang's heart tighten, and he very much hoped that Lu Xuanji could successfully convince the "Tongtian Demon King" during this trip, otherwise he would really have to find a way out for the Zhou family in advance.
"Old man Lu, if you are not waiting for death at your Xuanyang Peak, why are you here at the Heavenly Peak? Could it be that you know that I am still a little short of time to reach the true spirit realm, so you came here specially to give me your Nascent Soul Gang?
King? In that case, I will definitely accept your love, and when I become a true spirit and go to Shangliu Yunzhou, I will definitely leave some incense for your Xuanyang Immortal Sect!"
The flying boat was still hundreds of miles away from the mountain peak that went straight into Qingming. A thunderous sound suddenly sounded in Zhou Yang's ears. However, after a certain demon king on Jietian Peak discovered the identity of the person coming from the flying boat, he made the sound in advance.
warn.
Such arrogant words are in line with the behavior of demon kings.
The demon tribe does not pay attention to the cultivation of mental state, and there is no "Heart Demon Tribulation" that specifically targets mental weaknesses.
The demon kings are used to dominating in the Duanyun Mountains, and in the base camp of Jietian Peak, even if Lu Xuanji, a ninth-level Nascent Soul "half-step true immortal" comes to visit, there is no need to sell his face.
, you can say whatever you want.
Of course, if any demon king dared to say this outside the Duanyun Mountains, Zhou Yang believed that Lu Xuanji would not mind killing demons to obtain elixirs and refine a few more sixth-level magic weapons for his Xuanyang Immortal Sect.
Even so, Lu Xuanji still said coldly and with strong momentum: "[Great Ape King], if you have itchy skin, I don't mind helping you loosen your bones. Anyway, as a dying person, I can bring one to be buried with you."
It’s just one, you can make money no matter what!”
Even after death, Lu Xuanji is still alive!
Therefore, after hearing his words, the arrogant "Great Ape King" suddenly fell silent, and there was no sound for a long time. God
It wasn't until the flying boat arrived thousands of feet away from Jie Tian Peak that another gentle voice spoke: "The third brother was just joking with Fellow Daoist Lu. I don't know why Fellow Daoist Lu suddenly visited me at Jie Tian Peak?"
At the same time as this voice sounded, a sudden flash of inspiration occurred on the top of Jietian Peak, and a middle-aged man in green clothes suddenly appeared. He was wearing human clothes.
The humans who can appear in a place like Jietian Peak are of course not real humans, they can only be the human form transformed by the sixth-order demon king.
Zhou Yang looked at the middle-aged man in green clothes, secretly guessing what kind of monster the other person was, but he didn't expect that Yin Hanguang's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"The middle-aged man in green is the boss of the demon kings in the Duanyun Mountains [Tongtian Demon King]. This demon's body is a rare beast [Blue Sky Blue Sky Beast]. It is naturally close to the laws of space and is proficient in many things.
He has magical powers in space, and when it comes to space sealing, except for those true immortals who have transcended the tribulation period, no one from the demon or human clan dares to say that they can beat him."
Zhou Yang has also heard of the name of the "Bitian Qingkong Beast". This kind of monster is as rare as the "Suzaku Demon King" Zhu Zizhen, who has the blood of a true saint.
He also didn't expect that the leader of the demon kings in the Duanyun Mountain Range would be such a rare monster.
At this time, Lu Xuanji looked at the middle-aged man in Tsing Yi who suddenly appeared, moved his lips slightly, and spoke of his purpose through sound transmission.
Regarding the news about the "Split Heaven Demon" escaping from the trap and reappearing in this world, these demon kings in the Duanyun Mountains may have known about it, or they may not have known about it. These are not very important anymore.
The important thing is that the space crack in the "Death Sand Sea" must not be known to too many people, otherwise if it is leaked, it will cause a huge disaster!
These demon kings in the Duanyun Mountain Range are all big talkers, and some of them even want all humans to die. If some guys with ulterior motives learn of the existence of that spatial rift and spread the news regardless of the lives and deaths of countless demon clans in the Duanyun Mountain Range,
That would be great fun.
But Lu Xuanji knew that the "Tongtian Demon King" was definitely not one of them. Although this demon was a demon, his behavior was closer to that of a human monk. It was precisely because of his strong restraint that the demons in the Duanyun Mountains had always been
A life-or-death battle broke out between the Duanyun Mountains and the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent.
Otherwise, if all these monsters rush into the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent, they will certainly cause unprecedented harm to the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent. However, the Immortal Cultivation World of Liuyun Continent can completely remove the nail in the Duanyun Mountain Range and open up the connection with the Immortal Cultivation World of Far West.
The communication channels in the fairy world are also just around the corner.
For such a wise and far-sighted demon king, Lu Xuanji believed that he would not do such unwise things.
Sure enough, after listening to the "Tongtian Demon King" transmitted by Lu Xuanji, his face changed for a while, and he clearly showed a look of hesitation and contemplation.
Then he opened and closed his lips for a while, not knowing whether he was communicating with the demon king on Jie Tian Peak. After a while, he nodded lightly to Lu Xuanji and said: "Okay, I will trust you this time and accompany you for a while."
trip!"
When Lu Xuanji heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly raised his hands and said: "Fellow Taoist has such a profound understanding of the righteousness, which is actually a blessing to the countless demon clans in the Duanyun Mountain Range. Lu also represents the countless human clans in this world. Thank you."
Friends lend a helping hand!”
"Hehehe, these words of thanks are unnecessary. If we meet on the battlefield in the future, the person I should kill will also be someone who will not show mercy!"
"Tongtian Demon King" chuckled on his face and waved his hand carelessly, not accepting the favor at all.
Seeing this, Lu Xuanji just smiled and didn't care.
In fact, he had the same thoughts as the "Tongtian Demon King". If they met on the battlefield, in the face of racial justice, he would never cooperate with "Tongtian Demon King" and "Suzaku Demon King".
And he is semi-soft on the demon clan.
Of course, with his longevity, he will probably never appear on the battlefield between the human race and the demon race again in this life.
In a sense, this is not a good thing.
With the "Tongtian Demon King", the master of the Duanyun Mountain Range, accompanying them, Zhou Yang and others' journey was naturally smooth sailing. It didn't take long for them to pass through the Duanyun Mountains and enter the boundless sea of sand.
When they arrived at the boundless sand sea, Zhou Yang asked his apprentice Lu Xuewei to take Zhou Tongxuan and three other juniors back to the family first. With the idea of broadening his horizons, Zhou Yang continued to follow Lu Xuanji and flew to the "Death Sand Sea".
Lu Xuanji didn't have any objections to this. Anyway, there would be no danger in this trip. If Zhou Yang wanted to go with him to broaden his horizons, just let him follow.
In this way, after the flying boat flew over the sand sea for several days, it plunged into the black "death sand sea".
"Black sand storms" still often blow up in the "Death Sand Sea", but the "black sand storms" that originally gave Zhou Yang a headache are basically nothing in front of Lu Xuanji, a ninth-level Nascent Soul "half-step true immortal"
It has no effect at all.
Lu Xuanji still used the old method, directly ascending the flying boat into the "Nine Heavens Absolute Realm", where the endless "Nine Heavens Gang Wind" would directly tear the sandstorm into pieces.
Not long after, Zhou Yang saw the crack in space again in his eyes.
But after he saw the space crack again, not only did he not show any signs of relaxation, but his face changed drastically and he stared at Lu Xuanji with wide eyes.
He clearly remembered that Lu Xuanji told him that this space crack, including the surrounding area, had been covered and isolated by a large formation.
If this is the case, how can they directly see the space crack in the outside world?
Lu Xuanji's face was also very ugly. Apparently he realized this earlier than Zhou Yang.
Moreover, he has a high level of cultivation. After realizing this, he quickly found the reason.
"There!"
His eyes turned cold, and he looked at a place not far from the space crack, and then with a flick of his finger, a fireball formed by the "Xuanyang True Fire" was shot there.
After a loud "bang", Zhou Yang suddenly saw an "acquaintance" in his sight that he had never expected!
Amid the dust in the sky, a ferocious-looking dark golden monster appeared in front of everyone.
This monster turned out to be the "Tiansha Corpse King" who once imprisoned Zhou Yang in the Far West to help him practice.
"How could it be! How could it be here!"
Zhou Yang exclaimed with shock on his face, and took two steps back involuntarily.
Then he remembered that he was currently accompanied by a ninth-level Nascent Soul "half-step true immortal" and a sixth-level high-level demon king, as well as Yin Hanguang, who was in charge of the seventh-level mid-level magic weapon "Eye of Light" A monk on the sixth level of Nascent Soul.
Facing such a powerful lineup, it shouldn't be him who should be worried, but the "Tiansha Corpse King".
So he quickly calmed down, raised his chest, pointed at the "Tiansha Corpse King" and shouted: "Senior Lu, this beast calls himself [Tiansha Corpse King], but it is a Nascent Soul stage evil cultivator using the devil's way. The psychic zombies transformed from their own corpses by secret techniques are extremely powerful and their behavior is extremely evil!"
After he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, then continued: "And when this junior's golden elixir was first formed, he was caught and detained by this beast, and was forced to use [Qianyang True Fire] to help him condense his magic power, so your true fire magical power may be useful to you." Its effect is not very obvious, so please be careful!"
Lu Xuanji knew about his entry into the Kunxu Realm, so there was no need to explain how he escaped from the "Tiansha Corpse King".
At the same time, after seeing him, the "Tiansha Corpse King" also lit up his eyes, and then laughed heartily and said: "Okay, okay, I really can't find anything even if I wear iron shoes, it doesn't take any effort to get here! I searched all over the place The world of immortality in the far west didn’t even find you, a little thief, but I didn’t expect you to come to the door yourself. It’s great, it’s great!”
Before its laughter faded, its face became stern, and it suddenly looked at Lu Xuanji and shouted: "You were the one who refined the mark of the soul that I left in the [Netherworld Mysterious Coffin], right? Hand over the [Netherworld Mysterious Coffin] immediately, and Leave that little thief to me, and I will let you go, otherwise I will kill you too!"
Lu Xuanji took the blame for Zhou Yang for no reason, and he was unjustly accused.
He looked at Zhou Yang with deep meaning in his eyes, and did not deny that he had clarified something. Instead, he smiled coldly and said: "Very good, I have lived for more than three thousand years. This is the first time since the birth of a baby was successful." The monster dares to talk to me like this. Based on your words, I will not let you go easily, let alone you broke my formation and got a glimpse of the secrets here!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already waved his hand and sacrificed his seventh-level low-grade magic weapon "Red Night Divine Spear".
The divine spear broke through the air at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye it was in front of the "Tiansha Corpse King".
The "Tiansha Corpse King" obviously did not expect that the first human Nascent Soul ninth-level "half-step true immortal" level monk he encountered would be a strong man in charge of a seventh-level immortal weapon.
Although it reacted quickly and made a sideways dodge in time, it still did not completely avoid it. It was directly pierced through the ribs by the red-gold divine spear. The body of the Corpse King, which had been tempered for thousands of times, was hit by someone for the first time. Breaking through defenses so easily.
roar!
A shocking roar roared out from the mouth of the injured "Tiansha Corpse King". Corpse energy surged all over its body, trying to block the wound penetrated by the "Red Night Divine Spear", but there was still a seventh-level immortal weapon left on it. The power cannot be dispelled and recovered in a short period of time.
This made it even angrier.
"Damn old man, do you think you are the only one with a seventh-level immortal weapon? Look, I will chop you into pieces with one strike!"
It roared angrily, opened its mouth violently, and sprayed out a pitch-black magic blade filled with demonic energy.
As soon as this demon blade appeared, the overwhelming demonic energy formed into a black demon dragon and held it in its mouth. Then the black demon dragon swung its tail and the body quickly disappeared from the place. When it reappeared, it had already arrived.
The flying boat approaches.
"Dragon Blade!"
When Lu Xuanji, Yin Hanguang, and Zhou Yang saw this scene, they couldn't help but exclaimed in unison. They all knew the name of this magic blade!
