Liu Hao was secretly happy to be recognized by the arrogant swordsmanship genius Lin Fengxiao.
But he pretended to be modest on the surface and said: "Brother Lin, you and I have both entered the Great Success of the He Dao Stage, and it is impossible for Chen Xuan to break through the peak of the He Dao Stage within twenty years. Now, Brother Lin, your swordsmanship has reached perfection.
It is better than Chen Xuan's Thousand Tribulations Sword Flame, so Chen Xuan is definitely no match for Brother Lin; it's just that Chen Xuan has other killing moves, and Liu needs to practice at least to the peak of the Hedao stage before he can be confident.
Defeat him."
"Brother Liu, why do you have to be so humble?
In fact, I went to Zhongzhou three years ago and met with Zhou Baishuang and Si Zhonglou, the Taoist twins who were tied for eighth in the ranking, and after a discussion, I found that they are our biggest rivals in the future."
Hearing what Lin Fengxiao said, Liu Hao's eyes flashed.
"What was the result of the discussion?"
Lin Fengxiao shook his head: "The Taoist sect has been inherited for more than ten thousand years, and the foundation is too deep. I am no match for any of them."
Liu Hao looked surprised.
In his opinion, Lin Fengxiao's swordsmanship is too strong.
The second time he competed with Lin Fengxiao, he only won by a narrow margin, and Lin Fengxiao considered that he was a little embarrassed, and the same was true for the third draw.
But Lin Fengxiao actually couldn't defeat one of the two Taoist twins, Bai Shuang and Si Zhonglou, which surprised him, and he also felt a little frustrated in his heart.
After all, Taixuan Sect cannot compare with Taiqing Shenxiao Dao.
"Brother Liu, there is no need to belittle yourself. Zhou Baishuang and Si Zhonglou both said that they can defeat the evil emperor Chen Xuan without any pressure. In other words, they who are eighth on the odd list have surpassed Chen Xuan, who is number one on the odd list. So what are we going to do?
Why don’t you have a chance to surpass the Dao Sect Twins?”
The confidence in Lin Fengxiao's tone infected Liu Hao.
"Brother Lin is saying that Liu never believes in any rankings, only himself!"
Liu Hao's words were sonorous and powerful, but he immediately changed the subject, "But I heard that the Taoist sect seems to be quite friendly to Chen Xuan. In addition, Xiaoyao Sect is developing rapidly. I'm afraid Xiaoyao Sect will catch up with you and my sect in the future.
..." At the end of the sentence, Liu Hao's tone had a hint of sourness.
Lin Fengxiao, however, looked disapproving: "Taomen pays attention to checks and balances. Chen Xuan is just a small chess piece in the eyes of Taoist. If one day Chen Xuan wants to return to Zhongzhou to revive the Great Xia Dynasty, do you think the Taoist sect based on Zhongzhou will
Won't agree?
Five thousand years ago, they could only look at the faces of the Daxia Dynasty and Fuxi and behave obediently, but now..." After hearing this, Liu Hao's eyes lit up.
"Brother Lin, hello!"
...A heavy cold current that penetrated the bones kept brushing through the bodies of Chen Xuan and Chu Qingqiu.
The two of them were carried by an extremely strong force of movement, and they continued to approach the Land of Netherworld at a diving speed that exceeded normal escape speed.
I don't know how long it took.
After spending more than half of their mana, the two finally stepped onto the ground, surrounded by darkness.
Chen Xuan took out a bottle of magic-recovering elixir, poured one out and handed it to Chu Qingqiu. There was a hint of coldness in Chu Qingqiu's eyes, which was Yin Chonghua's look.
Yin Chonghua took the elixir unceremoniously and drank it, then sat down with Chen Xuan to regulate his breathing.
"Is this the so-called land of darkness?
I don’t know which ghost king we are within the sphere of influence.”
At this time, all of Chen Xuan's mana has been transformed into ghost aura, and he has become a true ghost cultivator, purer than Yin Chonghua.
"Without a map and no other information, how are you going to find Huangquan Water?"
Yin Chonghua asked this sentence while adjusting his breath.
"My idea is to find a ghost cultivator or ghost to interrogate him first."
Chen Xuan's proposal is the safest decision.
Before he understood the situation in the Land of Netherworld and the Netherworld Ghost Mansion, he would not rashly expose his Nine Nether Holy Body in front of the major ghost kings.
It is better to go to the imp level first to see if the Jiuyou Holy Body has the effect that Gu Chenxiao said. That is to say, ghost cultivators in the land of darkness will bow their heads and bow when they see the Jiuyou Holy Body, shouting "Your Highness Jiuyou".
According to the "Story of Mountains and Seas: Jiuyou Chapter": "In the land of darkness, there is a mountain named Youdu Mountain, from which the black water comes out.
On it are black birds, black snakes, black leopards, black tigers, and black foxes.
There is the mountain of Daxuan, and there are the people of Xuanqiu.
There is a country of great tranquility.
There are red-shanked people.”
When Chen Xuan was reading "Stories of Mountains and Seas", he thought it was just the imagination of the author. However, when he used his extremely strong eyesight to see the faint outline of a mountain range in the deep darkness in the distance, his heart couldn't help but move.
.
Could that be the legendary Youdu Mountain?
"Yin Chonghua, did you see it?"
"What?"
Yin Chonghua's eyesight is not as strong as Chen Xuan's, so he doesn't understand what Chen Xuan is talking about.
"After recovering our mana, let's go over to the mountain in front and explore it."
Chen Xuan said and stood up from his meditating state.
He absorbs the power of the elixir much faster than Yin Chonghua.
After a while, Yin Chonghua recovered his condition, stood up and followed Chen Xuan, exploring the mountains far ahead.
At the same time, he held the piece of Yin Ling Jade given by Lu Wuji in his hand and put it into his storage bag after a slight hesitation.
The two slowed down their flight speed and flew for a quarter of an hour before reaching the bottom of the mountain.
After getting closer, the two found that the mountain range was extremely majestic and steep, and completely pitch black, giving people a dark, gloomy and mysterious feeling.
Not sensing a powerful ghost hidden in the mountain for the time being, Chen Xuan decided to investigate in depth.
Yin Chonghua had no objection, and the two of them tacitly chose to walk into the mountain, which greatly reduced the risk.
From time to time, strange and eerie howls and low sounds are heard in the thick and dark mountains. The sources of these sounds belong to dozens of different ghosts.
The two of them walked for a while in the mountains, stepping on black dead leaves and withered unknown black flowers, without encountering any ghost cultivators along the way.
But Chen Xuan could tell that this mysterious black mountain was not completely devoid of traces of monks, because he saw several paths that monks had walked on.
After walking for a few more miles, Chen Xuan suddenly waved his hand, signaling Yin Chonghua behind him to stop and to be silent.
Then there was an unclear conversation coming from the front.
"...This time His Majesty ordered us to enter the Xuanqiu Mountain, the seventh branch of the Youdu Mountains, to search for the injured Black Water Black Snake. We must not leak the news, otherwise the ghost kings of the lower hell forces will learn that the Black Water Snake has left the place where it has been hiding for thousands of years.
Black Water will definitely enter the mountain to compete with our Xuanqiu Kingdom."
"Master Zhong, how could the Black Water Black Snake run into the Youdu Mountains for no reason?
Did something big happen under the black water?"
"How can we predict the behavior of such ancient alien species?
Cheer up, everyone, and don’t forget that Black Water Black Snake is a pure-blooded descendant of Zhu Jiuyin, one of the ancient dragon clan. Even if he is injured, his strength is at least at the level of a strong ghost in the tribulation period, so you must not take it lightly!"
"Yes, Master Tsuka!"
Hearing the voices of the last group of people, Chen Xuan frowned slightly.
Then he and Yin Chonghua calmed down and slowly approached, and soon saw a group of soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding halberds.
What surprised Chen Xuan the most was that the skin and appearance of these soldiers were the same as those of Orientals, but their skin was dark, which was in line with the records about the "immortal people" in "Stories of Mountains and Seas".
