Chapter 18 The mantis catches the cicada, the oriole is behind
There was silence in the courtyard.
Li Zhengjing looked solemnly at the Five Elements Creation Tree in front of him.
The Five Elements Creation Tree was as stiff as a statue, motionless for a while.
Duanlang Gu roared, jumped forward, and hung on the branch.
"Second brother? Why are you crying?"
The Five Elements Creation Tree was stunned for a moment, then touched the back of the main trunk with a branch, and said blankly: "What just happened? As a tree, why am I still dreaming?"
"What did you see in your dream?"
Li Zhengjing asked with a solemn expression.
"A sword!"
The Five Elements Creation Tree thought for a while, with a hint of fear in his tone, and whispered: "A sword penetrated the void, triggered the celestial phenomena, and then pierced a human figure..."
It waved its roots and said: "That man has supreme majesty. After the sword pierced his figure, the young one woke up."
"A bold maniac, how dare he kill the emperor?"
Li Zhengjing frowned and said, "How could you shout such a thing?"
The Five Elements Creation Tree felt increasingly confused and said: "I don't know, I suddenly wanted to shout something, but I couldn't hold it in anymore..."
"Bah!"
At this moment, the wall-hanging bird turned over and jumped up, and immediately landed its paws on the ground. It moved forward and back, striding forward.
It flaps its wings back and forth like two broad-bladed swords.
It spoke in a solemn tone, shouting: "A bold maniac, how dare you kill the emperor?"
"..."
There was silence for a long while.
Li Zhengjing thought: "What does Mr. Yuan think?"
Yuan Zhengfeng whispered: "I have never seen this kind of situation, but there have been such records in the classics..."
He paused and continued: "Tian Qing Dao Zun of the Kunlun Immortal Sect is the last person in the world to ascend to Xia Ju since the records of the various immortal sects were recorded! It is said that before he ascended, a drop of blood was enough to cause the rocks to open up. , making the plants and trees become monsters..."
Linyuan Gao's blood obviously does not have such magical powers.
But Linyuan Gao's blood is separated by countless generations!
So what about the ancestors from whom his bloodline originated?
From the previous strange phenomenon caused by the collision between the White Luan Divine Bird and its bloodline, it was obviously the existence of a real immortal god!
"According to legend, every drop of blood of a person with great supernatural powers has spirituality."
Yuan Zhengfeng said: "It must be that after many generations, the spirituality still exists. These birds and trees have sensed the deepest spirituality in the blood! This sentence is an indelible obsession in the blood... "
"There is indeed a true god in the netherworld! There is indeed a true immortal above the nine heavens."
Li Zhengjing muttered: "Like Lord Yinshifu, within the divine jade, one can maintain an immortal soul, possess powerful magic power, and have abilities that are far superior to those of the strongest in the world. In terms of longevity and abilities, they are completely superior to those in this world." ,If it’s not the true God, what is it?”
But now, the maternal ancestors of the Gao family have been separated by so many generations, and their bloodline has been diluted to the present level, but they still have an undying obsession hidden deep within them.
This is beyond the miraculous power of Dao Zun Tianqing in the past!
And Dao Zun Tianqing is about to ascend to heaven!
So if the source of this bloodline is not a true immortal, then what is it?
"If it is true that the blood of the true immortals above the nine heavens is reduced to the mortal world, why?"
Yuan Zhengfeng said: "This matter deserves careful investigation! In the past three thousand years, the only Tianqing Taoist who was identified as Xia Ju ascended, was buried in the dust of the world... Even the golden ship that transcends the world has identified that there is no one in the nine heavens. There are no true immortals, but now the bloodline of true immortals appears..."
His voice was full of solemnity, and he said: "The real creditor, the Taoist ancestor in the world, the one you call the Qianhuan Divine Lord... He blocked the opportunity to become an immortal in the world, and he was able to turn the world around
All the top forces are treated as his chess pieces..."
"Mr. Yuan thinks that maybe he is not from this world?" Li Zhengjing said thoughtfully.
"I even suspect that he himself is a true immortal in the heaven and has been banished to the mortal world." Yuan Zhengfeng said.
"There is no basis for such speculation, but the Linyuan Gao family's bloodline is indeed worth checking. We will check after this matter is over!" Li Zhengjing said thoughtfully.
"After this incident?" Yuan Zhengfeng understood immediately and said, "You have experienced the abnormality of the Linyuan Gao clan's bloodline, and are you still determined to protect these Gao clan members?"
"I have promised before that as long as they cooperate, I will save their lives. Can't I break my promise?" Li Zhengjing laughed and said: "The imperial court wants to use them as bait to surround and kill Gao Xuan! Actually... I
There is such selfishness!"
"Gao Xuan defeated the two great gods of the imperial court in a row. His ability is already extremely powerful." Yuan Zhengfeng said: "We may not be able to take him down easily!"
"I don't care if I can capture Gao Xuan."
Li Zhengjing's eyes sparkled and he said, "But I'm very interested in getting him the opportunity to become so powerful..."
He glanced at the golden page.
Hanging high is not enough to pose a life threat to yourself!
But after he ate 300 spiritual mines from the Great Zhou treasury, the way to change his fate was to guide him to the southeast coast.
He already knew in his heart that the opportunity Gao Xuan got was one of the keys to solving Dayan Dongxu Wanhua Sword Qi!
Maybe it's Taiyi Sword Refining Technique, but it's more likely to be Tianxuan Taibai Yuanjin!
He looked at the fingernail-sized Tianxuan Taibai Yuanjin in the palm of his hand, and made a guess in his mind, secretly saying: "The method of changing my life was obtained after eating three hundred spiritual mines... I'm waiting for you,
Hang high!"
The fortune at this moment still showed that when he stepped through the human immortal, he was killed by the backlash of Dayan Dongxu Wanhua Sword Qi, with his intestines pierced and rotten, riddled with holes, and his body was left intact.
And he is now at the pinnacle of the true energy realm.
The next step is to transcend the world and become an immortal!
He was only one step away from death!
"But if you don't take this step, you will remain a mortal in this life, and even...Qianhuan Shenjun will notice the clues!"
Li Zhengjing thought to himself: "But how easy is it to take this step?"
For practitioners in the world, this step is what they seek throughout their lives, to transcend the ordinary world, to be superior to all living beings, and to live longer for thousands of years!
Although it's just one step, taking it over is like a fish leaping over a dragon's gate. There's a world of difference!
But in this world, throughout the ages and endless years, countless cultivators at the peak of their true qi have been blocked and trapped at this step. Among them, there are many people who came from the major immortal sects and Buddhist sects in the world and possess the world's top skills.
They spent their entire lives and even died of old age, but they still failed to take this step!
Just like Chen Zhu, the leader of the Ancient Moon Peak today, if the leader of the Ancient Moon Peak of the previous generation had not sought for him the Yin-Yang enlightenment seeds passed down by the Immortal Sect, he would have been trapped in the realm of true energy for the rest of his life!
"If you take one step, you will become an immortal." Yuan Zhengfeng sighed: "Back then, I suffered countless opportunities from 'creditors' and endured countless hardships before I was lucky enough to take this step! You see
It seems that there is only one step left, but no one can say how long this step will hinder you..."
"For a person at the pinnacle of zhenqi in the world, it is very likely that this step will trap me for a lifetime." Li Zhengjing laughed and said: "But Mr. Yuan just seems to think that this step may trap me for a long time, but he will not let me go."
I will never stop here..."
"Except for the opportunity of the creditor, your talent, ability, understanding and other aspects are far superior to me!" Yuan Zhengfeng laughed and said: "And you are more determined than me. As long as the opportunity comes, you will definitely succeed.
There is hope for immortality! But this opportunity... still depends on fate..."
"Fate?" Li Zhengjing glanced at the golden page, then smiled and said: "I don't wait for fate to come, I have to find the location of fate myself and control it in my hands! At this moment..."
"But no one can know the exact direction of destiny. Sometimes the direction may be wrong." Yuan Zhengfeng sighed: "Throughout the ages, destiny has been determined by God..."
"But I'm lucky."
Li Zhengjing thought to himself: "I can know the exact direction."
And at this moment, in Jiang Shang Mansion.
The three righteous gods from the southeast region have gathered here.
The master of the Jiangshang Mansion has no cultivation base, but he has the seal of the government in his hand, which can mobilize the fortune of the Jiangshang Mansion. Coupled with the manpower of the officials from various places, the power he has cannot be underestimated.
"The direct bloodline of the Linyuan Gao family was almost wiped out by the returning Gao Xuan, leaving only two groups of people..."
"This group of Jiangshang Mansion came here to seek refuge with Shi Yuan on Gao Xuan's orders."
"Now it seems that Gao Xuan probably feels that if he goes to the Tianxing Cave in the south, he may not be able to return alive. The Gao family will face annexation by various forces. He wants to leave behind the descendants of the Gao family to avoid annihilating future generations."
"Judging from the direction of Gao Xuan's current trail, he is going to eat the younger members of the clan in Hongshan Town next!"
"The original idea was to use these people as bait, set up a formation, and ask the three gods to trap him, and then I would use my luck to suppress him!"
Jiang Shang Fu Zun said: "When General Fang Yin comes with 30,000 elites, we will be able to succeed in one fell swoop and capture Gao Xuan... The Imperial Master means to capture him alive, but there is really no way, even dead.
What’s more important is the opportunity within him!”
"But now the person is in the hands of Li Zhengjing."
The speaker was the Dragon God of Gujiang. His divine body was carved from the Yi Kuai Tianyu Divine Stone that fell into the hands of Taizu Taizu eight hundred years ago.
This uncarved heavenly sacred stone was slender when it was discovered, and was carved into the shape of a dragon.
After the death of this founding hero, he entered the body of a god and was named the god of the Gujiang River. He was worshiped by the people on both sides of the river and has been worshiped for more than 600 years to this day.
"Li Zhengjing himself is extremely controversial. His progress in spiritual practice is too fast and his pace of growth is unimaginable."
Another god looked like an old man, holding a snake staff, and was known as Sanyang Gong. He said loudly: "When he was in the capital, he took away the dragon pillar from the palace. The imperial master did not stop him and even let him in.
Treasury…”
"With the three gods like us, the help of the Palace Master's Great Seal, and the arrival of the Fang Seal God, it will not be difficult to suppress the current Li Zhengjing." Another goddess said.
"In the capital, if we put all our strength into suppressing it, how could we not capture Li Zhengjing? But the Imperial Master let him go after all..." Sanyang Gong said: "The Imperial Master did not dare to touch him easily, there must be someone inside.
Hidden truth, we can’t attack him easily!”
"But the people of the Gao clan fell into his hands." The goddess said loudly: "We were ordered to surround Gao Xuan and seize the opportunity. What should we do if Li Zhengjing is here?"
"Then just wait and see what happens." Gu Jiang Long Shen said: "Li Zhengjing is extremely talented and has an unlimited future. He cannot be offended easily! Since he wants to take down Gao Xuan as a member of the Gao clan...then weigh him.
The ability.”
"Gao Xuan came out of Tianxing Cave and showed quite powerful skills." Jiang Shangfuzun said: "Although Li Zhengjing has human immortal combat power and twenty-five golden dragons, it is not necessarily easy to capture him!
"
"If Li Zhengjing can't defeat him, if we take action again, we will save Li Zhengjing's face." Sanyang Gong said.
"What if Li Zhengjing takes him down?" the goddess suddenly asked.
"If Li Zhengjing can escape unscathed and easily capture Gao Xuan, then how unfathomable his abilities must be?" Gu Jiang Dragon God tilted his head slightly and spoke in human words, "We work together, and we are sure that we can capture the master.
Gao Xuan, but I’m afraid I won’t be able to capture such a powerful Li Zhengjing!”
"If that's the case, we have no choice but to give up." Sanyang Gong said: "But I don't think that he can win Gao Xuan unscathed!"
"His cultivation progress is unparalleled in ancient times and the present. His setting foot in the realm of immortals is already astonishing to the world. Can't he be so powerful that he can be compared to the headmaster of the immortal sect in the world?" Jiang Shangfuzun said solemnly: "I am basically the same person.
It can be concluded that even if he captures Gao Xuan, he will definitely not be unscathed."
"So...the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole follows behind."
Gu Jiang Dragon God said: "No matter whether he has the ability to capture Gao Xuan or not, but... as long as he is not unscathed, there is an opportunity! The opportunity on Gao Xuan must have come from the Tianxing Cave, but Li Zhengjing has been practicing for a year and has the ability to be a human immortal.
Aren’t you curious about the unparalleled resources for combat power?”
His dragon head swung and he said slowly: "Maybe it's not a natural aptitude, but a unique opportunity?"
Duke Sanyang thought for a moment and said: "And... being able to retrieve the dragon pillar of the palace will make the capital more stable!"
Jiang Shangfu Zun responded: "Then just sit still and wait for Li Zhengjing to show his skills."
At this moment, the palace seal on his waist moved slightly, and then he looked at everyone with a solemn tone and said: "The high-hanging qi machine has entered Jiangshang Mansion."
"God General Fang Yin is here with his army, still six hundred miles away."
Gujiang Dragon God said: "They have not yet approached the upper reaches of the Gujiang waters..."
The three gods and the Lord Jiang Shang all looked at each other and reached a consensus in their hearts.
I just want to borrow Li Zhengjing's hand to hold Gao Xuan until General Fang Yinshen arrives with his army!
"There is news from Hongshan Town that Li Zhengjing took several members of the Gao clan to the coast of the sea."
"What?"
Everyone looked at each other. Could it be that at this moment, Li Zhengjing wanted to take the Gao clan members out to sea to avoid Gao Xuan's pursuit?
"Does he want to avoid Hongshan Town to avoid harming the people during the war?"
"This man saved more than a thousand practitioners in the capital. He is called the Immortal. He has a reputation of benevolence in the world. This move is quite reasonable."
"wrong……"
Lord Jiangshang said in a low voice: "It's too remote there. It's on the edge of Jiangshang's jurisdiction. It's extremely inconvenient for the movement of the fortune of the government seals and the deployment of government manpower from various places..."
He looked at the three gods and said: "If it is your turn to leave, the effect of me mobilizing the fortune of the government seal to help will be weakened!"
"Could it be that he guessed that I was waiting here and would take action against him?"
"Although he has high cultivation and unparalleled talents, he is still young and lacks experience. Can he really think of things as far-reaching as this?"
The three gods each looked at each other with solemn expressions, and their previous thoughts of taking action began to waver.
If Li Zhengjing was really prepared, could they really succeed as they wished?
If he fails to succeed and is escaped by Li Zhengjing, wouldn't he have set up a powerful enemy for Da Zhou who has unlimited potential and will become the most powerful person in the world?
"I'd like to ask you, Lord Fu, to report this matter to the capital again, and ask your Majesty and the Imperial Preceptor to discuss it together!"
"good!"
The governor of Jiangshang immediately reported the matter to the capital.
After doing this, he put away the palace seal and continued to talk to the three gods, waiting for the arrival of the Fang Seal God.
But at this moment, the palace seal was slightly turbulent, but the light instantly disappeared.
This kind of abnormal movement means that an extremely powerful existence has stepped into Jiangshang Mansion without concealing its energy, and has a collision with Jiangshang Mansion's fortune!
Apparently at this moment, an extremely powerful being followed Gao Xuan and entered the territory of Jiangshang Mansion!
