This is a blue life planet located in the outer star field of the Dragon Shepherd Realm.
There are dozens of similar planets here, so it does not appear to be eye-catching.
There is human civilization on the planet, canals have been dug, and villages, cities, and countries have been built.
"Whoa! Whoa!"
Space trembles.
Zhang Ruochen and Feng Yan came outside the planet and looked at the blue sea and white clouds below. They no longer had the awe of a vast planet in the past. It was as if they were looking at a map presented in front of them, and there was no fluctuation in their hearts.
There is a sense of alienation, as if we are no longer in the same world as all living beings.
There are obviously tens of millions of species and billions of living beings on the entire planet, but they are like ants, thinking that they can live or die.
This made Zhang Ruochen alert and felt dangerous.
Once he starts to ignore life and disregard life, he will definitely have doubts about the beliefs he has always insisted on. The so-called "the sea is open to all rivers and encompasses all things" will have no meaning in existence.
Practicing for ten thousand years, one hundred thousand years, one million years...the original intention is something extremely difficult to stick to.
If you want to persevere, you will inevitably have to go more difficult and painful.
Of course, the slogan "I will never change my original intention" is still very simple.
"I have been outside the sky for a long time, not knowing where I am in the world."
Zhang Ruochen sighed this sentence inadvertently.
Feng Yan glanced sideways and said, "Brother is mentally unstable. Do you want to return to the human world to experience?"
"As long as those who are full of love for life should enter the world and practice spiritual practice every once in a while, they should never forget that they are flesh and blood. We must warn our future generations!"
After Zhang Ruochen said this, a divine voice came out: "You two, show up!"
A low-pitched sneer came from a city on the planet below: "Di Chen, I have heard what you just said. Since Di Chen has compassion in his heart, he should understand that once you take action, this...
All life on the planet will be wiped out."
It turns out that after Zha Rong and Jin Ling sacrificed themselves to the Dragon Shepherd Realm, they had no time to escape and had to hide on this planet in a hurry.
They believe that the most dangerous place is the safest place.
If it were other monks who came, they would really have a chance to hide in the past. After all, their residual souls are powerful, their own cultivation has reached the level of gods, and their colorful clay bodies can hide their vitality and breath.
"Your Excellency was once the master of a palace, but I didn't expect you to be so ignorant. Sure enough, you are just a remnant soul!"
Zhang Ruochen shook his head slightly, and with a sway, he landed on the ground of the blue planet and pulled out the jaw hidden under the city.
"you……"
With a face full of horror, Zhang Ruochen used his spiritual power to seal his divine source and threw him into the starry sky.
"Bang!"
Under the control of Zhang Ruochen's space power, Jia Rong's body rolled, crashed through the space, and flew over Feng Yan's head outside the planet.
Feng Yan summoned the Pure Yang Divine Sword and pursued him.
On the other side of the planet, Jin Ling realized that Zhang Ruochen had found her jaw, and she immediately mobilized her divine power to destroy the planet. However, before she could take action, Zhang Ruochen had already appeared in front of her.
"Zhang Ruo..."
Jin Ling quickly retreated, trying to open up some space.
Zhang Ruochen grabbed her by the collar, lifted her up, turned her into a beam of light, and flew away into the sky.
Poor Jin Ling was carefully selected by the Seventy-Two-Rank Lotus, given a colorful clay figurine, and trained into the Nether Clan. Her combat power was no less than that of a strong person in the early stage of the Great Freedom.
However, facing a person of Zhang Ruochen's level, just by being grabbed by the lapel, the power in the body is completely unable to be mobilized, as if he has degenerated into a mortal.
This kind of method had never been seen before by other Immortal Wuliang, which made Jin Ling despair.
But on the other side, in the starry sky, the Pure Yang Divine Sword turned into a giant sword thousands of feet long. Flames burned on the sword body, suppressing the jaws that wanted to escape under the sword.
Feng Yan naturally does not have such strong combat power, for two reasons.
First, when Jia Rong was thrown out by Zhang Ruochen, his mind
The source has been sealed, and the power that can be unleashed is extremely limited.
Second, although Feng Yan is not at the Infinite Realm, the sword spirit of Chunyang Divine Sword is extremely powerful. It is an ancient spirit that once followed Chunyang Tianzun.
His jaw appearance is not comparable to that of an ancient strong man like Jin Ling who has returned with a broken soul.
Zhang Ruochen and Jin Ling didn't talk nonsense. They pointed a finger between her eyebrows and searched for her soul directly.
Part of Jin Ling's memory was missing, and Zhang Ruochen could not fully restore it using the power of the Path of Destiny. It was most likely a dark and strange handiwork.
Zhang Ruochen originally wanted to find the hiding place of the Seventy-Two Lotus from her memory, but he could only trace an ancient palace master named "Lao Mo".
Jin Ling and Zhan Rong collected the blood and souls and sent them to Lao Mo first.
Then Lao Mo sent it to the seventy-two-pin lotus.
In Jin Ling's memory, Lao Mo was an ancient master of the Temple of Time, the most powerful one under the Seventy-Two-Rank Lotus Seat. He was suspected to be a half-ancestor during his lifetime.
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Ruochen searched the soul's jaw again, but still got the same result.
"She is really cautious!"
Zhang Ruochen secretly thought about whether he should use illusions to forge the secrets here, and then, taking Jaw Rong and Jin Ling hostage, he went to ambush Lao Mo first.
As long as Lao Mo is captured, the exact location of the seventy-two-pin lotus can be found.
But, after thinking about it, I felt that doing so was too risky!
The seventy-two-grade lotus and the darkness are weird, one is more difficult to deal with than the other. Once they are aware of the changes here in advance, they may use this to set up a trap and lure Zhang Ruochen into taking the bait.
It is even possible that the Seventy-Two Lotus or the Darkness is already on its way.
Feng Yan obviously had the same worries, and reminded: "Brother, Zha Rong and Jin Ling were suppressed by us because they took action to sacrifice to the Dragon Shepherd Realm and exposed their whereabouts. But when we captured them, we also exposed the secrets and traces, so we must feel free to leave
.”
Zhang Ruochen had full confidence in his mental power and could conceal the secrets. However, facing such a dark and strange existence, he did not dare to be too conceited, so he nodded and said: "There is indeed something abnormal hidden in the sea of consciousness between the two of them.
Power. When searching for souls, there were signs of triggering."
Hearing this, both Zhan Rong and Jin Ling's expressions changed slightly.
Even they themselves don't know that the sea of consciousness has been manipulated.
"Boom!"
Zhang Ruochen stretched out his right arm, pinched his claws with his five fingers, activated the power of space, and forcibly opened Jin Ling's divine world.
The Dragon Shepherd World placed in her divine world slowly flew out, floated above Zhang Ruochen's head, and then merged into his divine world.
The Dragon Shepherding World has become a blood-red world of death. No matter whether it is the earth dragons and wild dragons shepherded, or the monks of the Xuanyuan family, there is no flesh and blood left.
Many landforms have changed, with green hills turning into red soil and forests turning into deserts.
No more life fluctuations can be sensed.
"Damn it!"
Feng Yan's eyes were cold and the Pure Yang Divine Sword in his hand was trembling.
A large world would have to go through countless years of reproduction and development before it could become full of vitality. But it would be destroyed in just an instant.
"The dark ages have just arrived."
Zhang Ruochen looked very plain.
Although he still loves life and respects the rights of every living being, if someone threatens him with this, he will never compromise even if a whole world of living beings dies in front of his eyes.
If he really compromises then, more people will die.
"Brother, someone is here! It's the god of the Xuanyuan family!"
Feng Yan looked into the depths of the starry sky.
The gods of the Xuanyuan family were like bright meteors, cutting through the dark starry sky and appearing in front of Zhang Ruochen and Feng Yan.
The leader was wearing golden armor and had a majestic physique. He was holding a demon stone pillar in his hand. The aura he exuded made the stars in the surrounding star field tremble, as if they were about to fall.
Feng Yan's face was solemn and he whispered: "Who is this person? I have never heard of such a powerful person in the Xuanyuan family. This aura... is absolutely amazing."
Yes, it’s the heavenly level!”
The Xuanyuan family god wearing golden armor heard his whisper and corrected him: "It's the Immortal Infinite Level."
Zhang Ruochen recognized the person and said, "Old friend! Xuanyuan Second, where did you get such a piece of human skin to wrap around you?"
Xuanyuan Second is an ancestor in the history of the Xuanyuan family. He claims to be the second person in history, second only to the ancestor of the Xuanyuan family, "Xuanyuan Emperor".
In the soul world, Zhang Ruochen had dealt with him.
Of course, the Xuanyuan Second in front of him is the remnant soul who has returned, took away his own bone body, and is now following the path of cultivation as a monk of the Bone Clan.
Xuanyuan said the second time: "Zhang Ruochen, please stay out of my business. Leave Mulongjie and those two people alone, the Xuanyuan family owes you a favor."
Zhang Ruochen smiled and said, "Are you kidding me? These two people are very powerful. I risked my life and worked hard to suppress them. You just want to pick peaches right now?"
Xuanyuan said the second time: "This is the northern universe. The Dragon Shepherd Realm is the mount pasture for the Xuanyuan family's army. The Xuanyuan family should take care of the affairs here. They have sacrificed the Dragon Shepherd Realm, so naturally they should be judged by the Xuanyuan family. You yourself
You've crossed the line. I'm thinking of our old friendship, so I don't care about you. You don't know what's good and what's bad."
Feng Yan said: "The second senior seems to have ignored the fact that if we hadn't taken action, they would have escaped! Moreover, they will continue to cause massacres in the northern universe. We have helped you a lot."
"Are you kidding? With me here, how can they escape?" Xuanyuan Er had no intention of being reasonable.
Since the Dragon Shepherd Realm has been sacrificed, he naturally covets the blood and souls in the realm, which can quickly strengthen his remaining soul.
If his bone body can absorb the blood and life energy of a world, it can condense into a stronger physical body when he transforms into the underworld.
Xuanyuan Er's own ambition is to follow the path of Emperor Xuanyuan Xuan, transform into the underworld and live out his second life, and become a figure like the underworld ancestor.
Suddenly, Zhang Ruochen said: "What if I want to escape? I wonder if you can stay?"
The gods of the Xuanyuan family all looked at each other.
Xuanyuan Second frowned, and then said: "You can run away from the monk, but also run away from the temple? When the time comes, don't blame me for going to Kunlun Realm and Wuding Divine Sea to find you. From ancient times to the present, the Xuanyuan family has never suffered a loss. You take it
If you take one realm of the northern universe, I will definitely take one realm back with you."
Zhang Ruochen seemed to be really caught, and sighed: "You are also an immortal person, how can you do this? Why don't I exchange a secret with you?"
Xuanyuan Er sneered.
Zhang Ruochen said: "It has something to do with Emperor Xuanyuan Xuan and Ancestor Ming."
Xuanyuan Er showed a look of emotion and said: "I don't know if this secret is worth it."
"Didn't you always want to follow the path of Emperor Xuan? I know the most crucial part of his journey to the underworld!"
Immediately, Zhang Ruochen did not care whether Xuanyuan II would regret it or not, and directly told the allusion of Kasyapa Buddha's "Self-White Bone View".
Xuanyuan Er listened very carefully. After listening, his eyes became extremely hot and he said to himself: "I see, that's it. I guessed that Emperor Xuan was not the ancestor of the second generation, but the ancestor of the third generation. The relationship between Emperor Xuan and Ancestor Ming
In this world, there will be another life of Kassapa Buddha. Only by coexisting good and evil can one achieve the great path."
Zhang Ruochen said: "It seems that you have really realized something."
Xuanyuan Er nodded and said: "If you want to follow the path of Emperor Xuan, you must first practice Buddhism before turning into the underworld. It seems that you have to go to the Western Heaven Buddha Realm!"
Zhang Ruochen was a little confused. He didn't expect Xuanyuan Er's idea to be so strange.
Zhang Ruochen immediately had another thought in his mind, just in time for Xuanyuan Er to explore the reality of the Western Buddha Realm, and said: "If you want to cultivate the true Buddha, you must go to the Western Buddha Realm. There is no way around it. After you go, you can find a
It’s called quiet Buddhist practice, just say that I introduced you there, and he will definitely teach you the Dharma with all his heart.”
Xuanyuan Er smiled disdainfully: "With my status and cultivation, I go to the Buddhist world of the West to practice to give them face. Do I need you to help me find a Buddhist master?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "May I ask what your identity is? A monk of the bone race, or a strong man from ancient times? Just because of the arrogance in your body,
Angry, I don’t think any of those stubborn old bald donkeys in the Western Buddhist world are willing to be your Buddhist master.”
Xuanyuan Er always felt that something was wrong. Zhang Ruochen was a little too enthusiastic!
He said: "You won't lie to me, right?"
Zhang Ruochen said: "With your methods, how dare I lie to you? You can go to the Western Buddha Realm to verify this matter. If what I say is even half a lie, just come to the Kunlun Realm to find me. A monk who can run away will still run away."
Lost the temple?"
A smile appeared on Xuanyuan Er's face: "To be honest, I have already guessed your secret, so I can't replace the Dragon Shepherd Realm and those two people."
Feng Yan was angry and said: "How about adding another secret?"
He planned to tell Xuanyuan Er the appearance of his jaw and the meeting place between Jin Ling and "Old Mo", so that Xuanyuan Er would go to Lei.
Shameless, you have to pay some price.
Zhang Ruochen knew what Feng Yan wanted to do, so he shook his head slightly, smiled and said to Xuanyuan Er: "Let's go! If you can catch up with me, I will leave it to you."
"Wow!"
Zhang Ruochen stepped back, taking Feng Yan, Zhan Rong, and Jin Ling with him into the already opened space door, crossing a star field in an instant, and his aura disappeared without a trace.
…
Xitian Buddha Realm, the former residence of the Sixth Patriarch.
On the three-foot-long Buddhist altar, life lamps were burning, and the flames flickered, illuminating the window lattice in bright yellow.
These life lamps are blessed by the power of fate and are connected to the soul of an ancient powerful man outside.
Suddenly, the flames of two of the life lamps trembled violently and went out with two "puff" sounds.
The seventy-two-pin lotus sitting cross-legged under the Buddhist altar suddenly opened his eyes and calmly looked at the inscriptions on the two life lamps, which were "Jaw Rong" and "Jin Ling" respectively.
"Has your soul been searched?"
The Seventy-Two-Rank Lotus stood up, pushed the door open, and said: "Go ahead, Zhang Ruochen has taken action. Then everyone will leave the northern universe and go to the eastern universe to contain him. Wen Zhiren, please take Jingxiu there."
Kunlun Realm, tell Chi Kunlun that he must complete the task before Zhang Ruochen returns."
