Chapter 1286: Lost Thoughts and Remaining Soul (7K)
The thoughts transmitted by Xuanhuang Tiandao were not very clear, but Holy Emperor Li Ping had roughly understood what he wanted to express.
"The position of the Great Heavenly Lord..."
"Maybe I'll lose contact with you?"
Li Ping frowned and couldn't help but fell into deep thought.
"There hasn't been a new Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Lord in office for thousands of years, but at this time...who could it be?" The Holy Emperor smelled a hint of conspiracy. The Holy Emperor can only do a small part of the Xuanhuang Realm now.
Surveillance, most areas are in the blind spot. Faces flashed through my mind quickly, but no suspects were able to be identified.
"Although theoretically speaking, those who can pass the Great Heavenly Lord's test should stand by me and face the transmission of the law together. But..."
While the Holy Emperor comforted Xuanhuang Tiandao, his eyes showed determination: "It seems that the plan needs to be advanced."
"Just force the transmission method to happen when the star sea changes."
A ray of starlight flew out from the Holy Throne.
The Holy Dynasty Daqi, a machine that had been preparing for the war for a long time, began to operate rapidly.
Sun Erlang, who was conducting the final test of the protective capabilities of the Holy Army puppets, was a little surprised to receive the Holy Emperor's edict. But looking at the array of puppets scattered in the testing ground, with no head visible at a glance, he quickly became excited and excited.
Can't wait to get up.
"It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes a while to deploy it. It's time for the decadent Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance to see the elite divisions of the great Holy Dynasty!"
Just as he was about to leave this place and deal with the important matters of the expedition, Sun Erlang seemed to remember something and ducked to the deepest part of the test site.
The power of the turbulent earth veins is as thick as substance. It seems to be constantly being beaten and squeezed by some huge force, and the original yellow color has now become as red as magma. The earth veins are rushing and roaring, beating a black stone in the center.
No matter how the power of the earth veins rages, the stubborn stone always stands firm. Even every tap of the red earth veins makes the luster of the stubborn stone shine brighter.
And above the black stone, a beam of starlight fell from the vortex of the starry sky that was constantly rotating, shining straight on the stone.
Under the illumination of starlight, the black stone seems to be breathing. As it keeps breathing in and out, little bits of starlight are sucked into it.
Master Qiaogong was not far away in mid-air, staring attentively at the black stone in such a strange scene. At the same time, he seemed to be constantly calculating, controlling, and adjusting the power ratio between the input earth veins and starlight.
"Senior Qiao Gong, the war may start early. Senior Tianyang..."
Qiao Gong seemed to have received the order. His eyes never left Tianyang's body and he said calmly: "Don't worry. I will definitely be able to give the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance a big surprise when the time comes. Those bastards, in the past few years...
It swallowed up a lot of my energy..."
"That's right! Since there's going to be a war, those people from the Tianling Sect can also make use of the waste." Qiao Gong patted his head, then closed his eyes and reported to the Holy Emperor, then issued another order and floated far away to Jiushan Prefecture.
's puppet.
A glint of pride flashed in his eyes, and Qiao Gong's attention returned to Tianyang, who was being tempered by the currents of the earth's veins and the power of the sea of stars.
Skilled craftsmen can clearly feel the huge power being nurtured inside this black stone.
His body trembled slightly, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes: "This puppet is the pinnacle of my refining skills. Even in the original Tianji world, there is absolutely no one who can surpass it. Shangguan, you can
Just watch carefully. The disciple you ignore will definitely surpass you..."
Qiao Gong ignored Sun Erlang who was still on the side and muttered to himself. From time to time, his hands shot out magic spells, which floated above Tianyang's body.
When Sun Erlang saw this, he quietly retreated knowingly.
While Daqi's army and people were preparing intensively for war, two people in the Holy Dynasty were already feeling relaxed, leaving the small world and returning to the Xuanhuang.
It was Xu Ke and Master Yin.
Master Yin squinted his eyes and looked up at the sky, as if he was not used to the sunshine in the Xuanhuang Realm.
Xu Ke was trying to figure out the direction.
They want to sneak into the museum before the war starts.
"This Emperor San Tapir is also interesting to talk about. He is obviously one of the three emperors of alien beasts, but he joined the human cultivation sect; when the disaster was approaching, he did not hesitate and chose to rebel and join the Xinxin Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance..." Master Yin
Said with a sneer.
Xu Ke shook his head and explained: "Grandpa San is mysterious and no one can figure out what he is thinking. After all, it is a bit confusing that he did not follow Di Yi to leave the Xuanhuang Realm. Moreover, in fact, his behavior,
It’s not considered a betrayal of the Beast Control Sect. After all, the entire Beast Control Sect has prospered almost because of the skills he brought. He is benevolent to the Beast Control Sect, not the Beast Control Sect is benevolent to him."
"To join the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, I think it may be for the sake of survival."
Master Yin sneered: "I don't care about the rest. If he jumps out to stop me when I take Mr. Bai's skull, I won't be polite... But you, you won't switch sides when the time comes, right?"
Xu Ke said sternly: "Don't worry, fellow Taoist. I have made arrangements in advance for Qing and Hong to go to the spirit world. The imitation of the beast-controlling wheel, coupled with the cooperation of the beast-control sect now, should be able to lure Grandpa San."
Go out. To say the least, even if the plan fails..."
"I won't show mercy either."
"That's good." After receiving Xu Ke's assurance, Master Yin smiled and his expression returned to normal.
The two followed the plan and sneaked all the way to the vicinity of Tianyu Prefecture Tiancheng in the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
"This should be it, the Heng family in Tianyuzhou." Xu Ke observed, looking around.
"According to me, just find any family that has the authority to enter the museum. Why do you have to come all the way here?" Master Yin touched his scalp, feeling a little impatient.
"The original plan was like this. But the Holy Emperor suddenly sent a message saying that something seemed to have happened to the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. The management of access to the Immortal Alliance headquarters suddenly became stricter. In this way, there is still authority.
There are not many monks who have entered the Divine Treasure Hall. Among them, the Heng family of Tianyuzhou is considered the most suitable target."
"The family's prominence is all due to its ability to weave. It is not too strong. At the same time, it is relatively low-key and has a relatively low sense of presence in the hearts of the public..." Xu Ke Chuanyin explained.
Master Yin's eyes penetrated the Heng family's protection and revealed a sneer: "The best ones to attack should be the two female dolls. They are actually a mother and daughter..."
"Yes, it's them, Heng Ruoshui and He Xinxin. Just wait for them to go out, capture them and change their identities."
"The Holy Emperor warned you not to hurt anyone unless necessary." Xu Ke added.
Master Yin: "Don't worry, this kind of thin skin and tender meat is not to my taste. Are we two going to be women? Can we change partners?"
Xu Keran: "Are you still concerned about the superficial appearance?"
Master Yin waved his hand: "That's right. I'm too lazy to run away. Let's fight quickly. I can't wait to see Mr. Bai's skull."
The mother and daughter of the Heng family did not keep the two of them waiting for too long.
One day later, He Xinxin slipped out to play and was captured by two people quietly.
Two days later, Heng Ruoshui seemed to have received the banquet and left the cave. He was also captured by the two men in an instant.
Looking at the mother and daughter of the Heng family who were tied together and fell asleep, Master Yin touched his chin: "The method taught by the Holy Emperor is easy to use. The Taoist compass in this little baby's body is not simple. There is a trend.
The ability to ward off good fortune and avoid misfortune, to deduce predictions. It can be regarded as half a miracle in the sky, perhaps it is the rebirth of an ancient immortal weapon after its dissolution..."
"However, the Holy Emperor granted him the secret technique of [Covering the Sky with One Hand], and this little girl didn't even notice the coming crisis."
Xu Ke smiled: "Maybe we don't have any harmful intentions. Let's do it quickly."
A drop of blood essence was taken out from the foreheads of the Heng family's mother and daughter each.
Xu Ke took it and pressed it between his eyebrows.
Master Yin was a lot more rough, with a crack in his scalp, and I, Taoji, swallowed it.
Following a burst of rustling flesh and blood, in the blink of an eye, Xu Ke and Master Yin had transformed into Heng Ruoshui and He Xinxin respectively.
The appearance, breath, and soul fluctuations are almost exactly the same.
"The wonderful method taught by the Holy Dynasty is indeed extraordinary." Xu Ke's eyes were shocked.
Master Yin closed his eyes and realized: "Only when I follow my heart can I be my true self. The changes are unpredictable, and the gods and ghosts are unpredictable..."
After hiding the mother and daughter, Xu Ke and Master Yin flew towards Tianyu Tiancheng after completing their disguises.
Monks who apply to visit the [Museum and Divine Collection Hall] need to apply to the Immortal Alliance Headquarters through the local Buzheng Hall.
After approval from the Immortal Alliance headquarters, there will be dedicated monks to lead the entry.
In Tianyu Prefecture, a face like Heng Ruoshui's is the best passport.
It is also a normal thing to take the younger members of the family to visit the museum.
The journey was smooth and the application was quickly sent to the Xianmeng headquarters.
The response efficiency of the Xian League headquarters was not that fast. It was not until seven days later that the final response was received.
The dignitaries of Tianyu Province seemed not to be worth mentioning at all in front of the Immortal Alliance's cultivators.
Black led the monk, his face was silent, and he casually gave some instructions on what to pay attention to when entering the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance.
He took the two of them to Tianshu Prefecture Tiancheng near the center of the Immortal Alliance, and then opened a portal to the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance in a house deep in the Bu Zheng Hall.
After stepping into the aperture, phantoms came one after another.
Even with Master Yin and Xu Ke's current strength, they can't stop it.
But Xu Ke returned to normal in just an instant. Because the Heng Ruoshui he pretended to be was not the first time he came to the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance.
As for the He Xinxin disguised by Master Yin, his body trembled slightly, and after a moment, he opened his eyes.
The leading monk introduced the reason for the appearance of the illusion as usual. Then he casually asked: "What did you see?"
Master Yin followed the Holy Emperor's instructions and said: "The Heavenly Dharma Stands above the sky and on the earth to preach to all sentient beings."
The leading monk nodded and asked no more questions.
Following the road in the void, on the way to the Museum of Divine Treasures, Master Yin and Xu Ke communicated quietly.
Master Yin: "Interesting. I saw the figure of Chuanfa, floating outside the Xuanhuang Realm. Looking down, looking at Xuanhuang. The Xuanhuang Realm was not as big as it is now. It should be shortly after Chuanfa realized the Tao of Immortality.
picture."
"What did you see again?" Master Yin asked.
Xu Ke then sent over a picture.
It was as if it was impossible to identify the specific location in the chaotic void.
The two figures were facing each other, and their faces could not be seen clearly.
"Who are you?"
"I am you."
"You are me..." The voice was a little hesitant.
After a brief silence, he slowly shook his head: "No. I am... different from you."
Another voice laughed, slightly mockingly: "This is your mission. You can't refuse. It's better to recognize the reality. Sooner or later, we will eventually become one."
"I said, I am Xuanyuan Tuo. Not..."
At the critical point, the picture suddenly shattered.
Master Yin was stunned for a moment and looked at Xu Ke inadvertently.
Xu Ke was also a little helpless: "I only saw these. The key places behind are indeed gone."
Master Yin watched this video again: "It's interesting. When we go back, we will tell the Holy Emperor this information. He should know something."
While the two were communicating, they soon arrived in front of the Museum of Divine Collection.
Standing on a suspended continent, it is completely black and solemn.
The tall and narrow door makes every monk who comes to visit feel respectful.
After confirming their identity again, the monk was led into the interior of the Divine Treasure Hall.
The first thing that must be visited is the huge light group called "Belle Epoque".
In the light group, it seems that countless worlds are arising and dying.
"This is [Era]." The leading monk introduced it skillfully.
"With a Taoist transformation stone as the core, scenes from various periods in the history of the Xuanhuang Realm are deduced concretely."
"In all derivation worlds, the survival probability of monks is far worse than it is today."
“So even though it’s called an era, it’s actually a name that reflects the beauty of today.”
…
Master Yin and Xu Ke both disagreed, but they couldn't show it, so they just nodded silently.
"As usual, you two can experience it yourself."
"Don't worry, a lifetime is experienced in the era, but it is only a moment in reality. And according to general circumstances, you will not survive for a few years in the illusion of the era."
Under the control of the monks in black, Master Yin and Xu Ke respectively invested a spiritual thought and flew into the light group of the era.
Soon after, the expression on the receptionist monk's face couldn't help but become a little strange.
Because the situation he expected did not appear.
One of the two plunged into the ancient immortal era, and the other plunged into the absolute chaos and murderous world.
But one of them was very lucky. Not only did they embark on the path of immortality since childhood, but they also had many adventures. They practiced successfully until the stage of transformation into gods and became the core disciples of the Immortal Sect. In the end, they died at the end of their lives.
And the other one is even more outrageous. She forced herself into troubled times and fought her way out. She became a female devil who was feared by everyone. She even liked to eat the souls of monks alive... until she committed so many evil deeds that monks all over the world couldn't bear it and united. This
He died under the siege.
"Other eras seem to be pretty good." After waking up from the illusion of the era, they said with some unfinished thoughts.
The leading monk was dumbfounded, and then confirmed the information of the two of them again.
Heng is like water, He Xinxin.
"I didn't expect this little girl to be so cruel at such a young age."
I just wanted to persuade the two of them to continue the journey of the times and prove the "beautiful era".
However, the two of them have moved through the times impatiently.
The leading monk hesitated to speak, and finally did not mention this again.
Next, he led the two of them to visit different areas such as Heroes of Duojiao, Vicissitudes of the Sea, and Ten Thousand Methods of Confrontation.
Master Yin suddenly said: "Next, we want to see for ourselves, is that okay?"
He looked impatient.
The receptionist monk nodded. Anyway, his task has been completed, so he gave a jade plaque: "After the visit, when you want to leave, please contact me. Remember, you need to keep quiet in the Shenzang Hall..."
After explaining some precautions, the leading monk disappeared in front of the two of them.
Xu Ke and Master Yin looked at each other and moved slowly towards the center of the Divine Collection Hall while visiting in a tacit understanding.
After a while, I finally saw the skull lying quietly in the distance.
Xu Ke's body trembled slightly. He took a deep breath and his mood gradually calmed down.
And Master Yin also used great efforts to not show any abnormality just now.
He walked up to Mr. Bai's skull and stared at it quietly.
"I can't help but do it."
"Let's wait. The Xianmeng and the Holy Dynasty haven't started fighting yet. More importantly, I can faintly notice that Grandpa San is still in the museum. Anyway, with the level of authority of the Heng family, they didn't visit.
time limit..."
Master Yin didn't say anything, but he was already immersed in looking at Mr. Bai's skull.
I don't know how much time passed before another figure came near the skull.
After staring for a long time, he sighed softly.
It immediately attracted the attention of Xu Ke and Master Yin.
The visitor was a middle-aged and elderly monk with a beard. Looking at Mr. Bai's skull, he felt, like them, uncontrollably excited.
"So it's this kid..." Master Yin snorted coldly.
"Do you know him?" Xu Ke asked.
"Hmph, his name is Shangguan Shiquan, and he fought with me for Mr. Bai's ribs. Speaking of which, Mr. Bai still has a leg bone..." Master Yin said in a bad tone.
"Hmph, after we get back the most important skull, we have to recover the rest one by one." Xu Ke also flashed a dangerous look in his eyes.
"That's natural." Master Yin agreed very much.
"Grandpa, what's so interesting here? I want to see the ancient magic weapon just now..." A slightly childish voice came from a distance.
But it was a girl of three or four years old who walked up to Shangguan Shiquan, pulled him and said with a crying face.
"This one is one of the greatest monks in the history of the Xuanhuang Realm." Shangguan Shiquan picked up the girl and comforted her.
Hearing this, the girl couldn't help but widen her eyes curiously, staring closely at the skull in front of her.
After hearing what Shangguan Shiquan said, Master Yin and Xu Ke's attitudes changed somewhat.
After a moment of silence, the female doll suddenly stretched out her finger in surprise, pointed at Mr. Bai's skull and shouted: "Grandpa, look, there is someone there!"
Like a thunderbolt, it suddenly exploded in the hearts of the three people present.
The three people's eyes instantly locked on the skull again.
But it was still quiet, with no sign of life anywhere.
Shangguan Shiquan touched the girl's head: "Nanny, don't talk nonsense, there is no one there!"
The little girl pouted with an unhappy look on her face: "Nanny is not talking nonsense, there is clearly someone there! It's in the skull, can't you see it?"
The little girl's words were too serious, and Shangguan Shiquan couldn't help but hesitate when he heard her words.
Looked at it carefully again.
Still nothing was found. Then Shangguan Shiquan secretly laughed at himself. He didn't know how many times he had seen this skull. How could someone be hiding in it?
I just thought that the child's words were unbridled, and Shangguan Shiquan told the little girl not to act nonsense.
The little girl was more serious and kept shouting.
Shangguan Shiquan had no choice but to take the little girl and leave here temporarily.
Near the skull, only Master Yin and Xu Ke had changed.
Xu Ke said in a deep voice: "What do you think?"
Obviously the question was about what the little girl said just now.
"Impossible. I am absolutely certain that Mr. Bai has indeed completely perished. There is absolutely no trace of his thoughts left on this skull."
"Besides, the Emperor San Tapir is not an ordinary person. He can't even tell whether the skull has any residual thoughts. If it is true, how can it be put here openly for us to visit? Huh, that is the remnant of the Xuanhuang Great Heavenly Lord...
..." After a long moment of silence, Master Yin replied decisively.
"But..." Xu Ke stared at Mr. Bai's skull, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"Before the little girl said it, I didn't notice it. But when he said that, I really felt that there was something hidden in the skull."
"It's not that Mr. Bai is missing, but something else..."
"When I was a child, I liked to play hide-and-seek games with my companions. As long as Mr. Bai was around, we all liked to hide next to him. He seemed to be able to accommodate the whole world. As long as he was close to him, it would be difficult for others to find him...
"Xu Ke murmured to himself.
After a few words, Master Yin was somewhat hesitant about what he said.
"By the way, the leading monk said before that a remnant soul once ran out in the era. In the end, it disappeared..."
"Is that possible?" Xu Ke suddenly said.
"The remnants of the times?" Master Yin squinted his eyes and stared at Mr. Bai's skull.
"I've been here for too long. Let's go somewhere else first." He said this instead of answering.
Walking to the visiting area called [Appearances of All Living Beings], Master Yin said: "Although Mr. Bai's bones look like ordinary mortal bones, they are the bones of the great Heavenly Lord in the past, so they must have their own special features.
place."
"It's just that this special point is difficult to distinguish. I once sewed and raised a mutant human-hand dog. It was very disgusted with any bones. It only had a soft spot for the white ribs I collected...
…”
"It's like that is the existence that can save him from fire and water." Master Yin seemed to have recalled something and said thoughtfully.
Xu Ke's heart moved and he said: "In this case, maybe Mr. Bai's skull can really protect the remnant soul. But we still can't figure out the truth."
"Hmph. After all, you can't see clearly through the several layers of protection from the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance. Once you get the skull, you can naturally figure it out." Master Yin snorted coldly.
Xu Ke nodded in agreement, and then said suddenly: "Speaking of which, even we couldn't detect the remnant soul hidden in the skull. But the little girl noticed it..."
"This little guy is not simple. What is her name? Shangguan Nihong? When you return, you must tell the Holy Emperor about this..."
If Li Fan was here and could hear the conversation between the two, then he would definitely guess that the power of Mr. Bai's skull to protect the remnant souls of the era should be the [Eternal Remembrance] that has a fatal attraction to [Huan Zhen].
This kind of energy, which is currently not known to the Xuanhuang Realm monks and can only be absorbed and used by Huazhen, is the fundamental reason why he tried every possible means to obtain Mr. Bai's skull.
However, because in this life the Holy Emperor cut off the connection with this deity in the sea of stars.
Even if Master Yin and Xu Ke convey their findings to the Holy Emperor, Li Fan is destined to be unable to know.
…
Just when the two of them were visiting the museum.
An unusual aura has gradually spread from the territory of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
Because before, Li Fan was distracted and sneaked into the earth cave with Sun Tianci and stole nearly one-fifth of the Taoist foundations in the sleeping monks, which made the senior officials of the Immortal Alliance extremely angry.
A large-scale investigation operation was secretly launched.
No reason was given, but all the monks who appeared in Tongyan Prefecture that day were examined.
The Eternal Immortal Wall is destined to remain invisible and can only be investigated privately.
But opaque investigations are bound to cause panic.
There are various opinions among the monks of the Immortal Alliance, and with the help of spies from the Holy Dynasty, the rumors about the imminent war between the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the Five Elders Association have become more and more intense.
Just as the situation was becoming increasingly tense, another bad news came from Jiushan Prefecture.
Due to the sudden rebellion of Tianling Sect in Jiushan Prefecture.
Working together internally and externally, they actually teamed up with the Wu Laohui to seize control of Jiushan Prefecture in one fell swoop.
Jiushan Prefecture fell, and the Immortal Alliance was shaken up and down.
The Immortal Alliance declared a state of emergency combat readiness, and in order to prevent the Five Elders from expanding their victory, they mobilized a large number of monks and rushed to the border to organize and build a defense line.
Monks in various states are also prohibited from moving around at will, and are only allowed to move around within the heavenly cities of each state most of the time.
The Immortal Alliance is discussing how to take back Jiushan Prefecture.
And somewhere they couldn't see, the army of the Holy Dynasty Daqi had already boarded the Samantabhadra True Boat and followed the white mist barrier to appear in the various states of the Immortal Alliance.
Just waiting for the Holy Emperor's edict, they swarmed down and launched a general attack on the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.
"Senior brother, when are you going to do it? I can't bear it any longer."
In the white mist, Ou Shangtian rubbed his hands, his eyes penetrated the white mist barrier, and he was very excited.
"Wait a little longer. Wait until the formation of the four central states is completed." Sun Erlang said very calmly.
"Senior Qiao Gong's move to divert trouble to the east and distract the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is truly a stroke of genius. The Immortal Alliance's large number of troops being transferred to the border is undoubtedly a good thing for us." Wang Xuanba waved his hand.
A strange beast like a white snake spoke slowly.
"Don't be careless. Master once said that the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals is not as simple as it seems. Those monks... are just a cover-up to deceive others."
"Do you think that our Holy Dynasty's Sky Surveying Arrows, Holy Army Puppet, and Immortal Alliance don't have any? The real victory must be fought with one's life." Sun Erlang had a clear understanding of the battle situation and reprimanded.
