Kunwu, the great palace of the heavens.
Crescent-shaped stairs lead up layer by layer, and huge towering pillars on both sides lead to a dome that looks like the starry sky. Standing in the hall and looking up, all you can see is stardust, as if you are standing under the night sky.
But at this time, the sun was just rising and the mountains were covered with dew.
Wu Duan, the third disciple of Zhenren Hengxu, stood in front of the first step, holding the bone sword in his hand. Looking up, he saw a thirty-foot-high circular disk of stars erected on the last circular platform.
A figure has been standing in front of the star disk for a long time.
"Ahem."
Wu Duan frowned, his face turned pale and bloodless, and he started coughing.
He thought of the battle in the middle of Jiutou River more than half a month ago, and his face was filled with bitterness.
After all, it is to make wedding clothes for others...
Wu Duan managed to remain calm and composed, and finally made himself look normal.
He climbed up step by step.
The higher you go, the smaller your figure appears.
In the silent hall, he was the only one there.
Zhenren Hengxu did not look back, his eyes fell on the moving Zhoutian star disk.
Even he, standing in front of this plate, felt as small as dust.
Countless round lights, one after another, streaked across the star disk in their original trajectory from eternity. From this star disk, it seemed as if one could see the evolution of the universe over millions of years, and glimpse the near future.
Zhenren Hengxu's gaze was also extremely empty.
"Disciple greets Master, I wonder why Master wants me to do this?"
After walking all the way to the top, Wu Duan finally stopped, looked at the back of Master Hengxu, and bowed.
Without turning around, Master Hengxu could tell from the sound that Wu Duan's breath was a little disordered: "Your Qi channels are weak, your spiritual energy is blocked in your heart and lungs, and there are three sword energies left in your right arm. You've fought with others recently and got injured, why are you so careless?"
Zhenren Hengxu has always been aware of all the big and small things happening on Kunwu Mountain, as if nothing can escape his eyes.
Wu Duan was silent for a while, then lowered his head and bowed, saying, "Disciple, I am ashamed."
"Is it him?"
Zhenren Hengxu thought for a moment and then asked directly.
As for the word "he"...
To Wu Duan, it sounded meaningful.
"My disciple is not good at martial arts, and I can't even beat someone who is not as advanced as me. This is because I am incompetent. Please punish me, Master."
"Punishment?"
Zhenren Hengxu laughed and finally moved his eyes away from the star disk.
The moment he turned around, the thirty-meter-high star disk suddenly turned into countless mercury-like things, flowing madly, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, and rushed towards the back of Zhenren Hengxu!
"boom!"
There seemed to be a loud shaking sound in the air.
But in reality, there was no sound at all.
The mercury-like liquid disappeared behind Master Hengxu in an instant, and the huge star disk vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
Zhenren Hengxu took a step forward and walked down the stairs.
"It's just a contest between fellow disciples. If I lose, I will punish you. What's the point of this Kunwu? You have a competitive spirit, which is not wrong. You challenged him, which is not wrong. Your mistake is that you are too weak and overestimate your own abilities."
The first part was as gentle as jade, but the latter part was as sharp as a steel knife!
However, Master Hengxu still had that indifferent and understanding look in his eyes and did not look at Wu Duan for long.
Wu Duan felt as if he had been slapped in the face, and was in a state of dismay.
Master Hengxu didn't seem to notice the embarrassment at all, or maybe...
Don't care at all.
He walked down and said, "I observed the stars today and found that mayflies in the 19 continents were born and died the same day. This is very strange. I am afraid that a monster or evil will appear in the world. The incident happened in the West Sea. You should leave immediately and investigate the situation in the West Sea. Report to me at any time."
"West Sea?"
Wu Duan was slightly surprised, and when he heard that a very evil demon was about to appear, he immediately frowned.
At the critical moment, as a disciple of Kunwu, he was not ambiguous. He clasped his hands together and saluted neatly: "Disciple, I obey your command!"
Master Hengxu nodded slightly.
Wu Duan took a few steps back before turning around and slowly walking out of the hall.
After leaving the main hall, there is the high Sea of Clouds Square outside, which is similar to Lingzhaoding on Yashan Mountain, but more ethereal. It is suspended three hundred feet above the top of Kunwu Mountain, where you can pick stars with your hands at night.
Wu Duan walked out, stopped, and looked back at the entire Kunwu Palace of the Heavens, but saw that the misty clouds were gradually gathering together, hiding it in a place that was difficult for ordinary people to reach.
Kunwu…
Kunwu…
For no reason, I felt a bitterness in my heart.
Wu Duan's mind suddenly flashed through Xie Buchen's words that day, and the hand holding the white bone sword suddenly clenched.
He clenched his teeth, and in that instant, he transformed into a sharp red light, leaped out from the sky, and headed straight for the West Sea.
***
West Sea, Dameng Reef.
In the passage, Jianchou was standing with an axe in his hand, his expression stern.
No one expected that such a big change would happen here. Tao Zhang suddenly disappeared, but Qu Zhengfeng seemed to have expected it and escaped, leaving a few people here to face the threat from the huge rock.
Fortunately, everyone here is a monk. Although they did not react at first, by the time they reacted, these boulders were no longer a problem.
The last huge rock came rushing over with golden light.
Seeing that Chou had no expression on his face, he swung his axe out directly, leaving a trail of afterimage!
Splitting Axe!
The first afterimage was still beside Jianchou; looking down, the second afterimage was strangely three feet in front of Jianchou; the third axe shadow hit the huge stone directly!
boom!
In an instant, gravel splashed everywhere!
The axe shadow disappeared in the collision with the boulder.
Everyone looked back and saw that the axe was still in Jianchou's hand. It had never left his hand before, except for -
The time when I saved Wei Xiang.
Except for the still rolling gravel, the entire passage finally returned to calm, and the turbulence caused by the flying boulders finally calmed down.
The sea, just like the beginning, enveloped everyone.
The direction of the sea water flow is not fixed, as if it is breathing.
Jianchou stood there holding an axe, with the blade pointing downwards.
The pattern of thousands of ghosts, reflected by the ripples of the sea, looks like the real hell.
She looked at the two closed stone doors and couldn't help frowning.
Wei Xiang kept looking at Jianchou with an astonished look from beginning to end.
Seeing that the crisis was temporarily resolved, she carefully looked at the giant axe in Chou's hand. She didn't know where the axe came from, but it looked rusty and particularly scary.
Looking at the approachable Senior Jianchou, once he picked up the giant axe, he seemed to become much colder and harder, with a kind of indifference between his eyebrows that made him difficult to approach.
"So, Senior Jianchou used an axe..."
Wei Xiang spoke haltingly and moved forward step by step.
Jiang He, who was standing next to her, carefully glanced at Jianchou's face and found that she showed no signs of getting angry. He patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Jianchou looked back at her, not wanting to pay any attention to her, so he didn't say anything.
This sight frightened Wei Xiang so much that he immediately stopped approaching Jianchou and stood there pitifully.
Get an axe!
So handsome!
The one he held was still too axe!
So powerful!
The Taoist partner of her dreams should be such an axe-wielding hero!
His muscles are so strong that he can raise a small mountain with his arms. He can move mountains with the swing of his axe. When he steps on the ground, it is like an earthquake...
Perfect!
Although Jianchou doesn't have muscles all over his body, his other qualities perfectly meet his standards for choosing a partner!
Especially the sidelong glance that Jianchou gave him just now...
She was so cold that her heart began to tremble...
That's the domineering feeling I want!
Wei Xiang bit her lips. Although her heart was in turmoil, she did not dare to get close to Jianchou. She obediently moved closer to Mo Yuanxing and looked at Jianchou with her glowing, creepy eyes.
Jianchou only felt a chill on the back of his head, as if someone was blowing cool air from behind him.
Jiang He sent a voice message: "Big Sister, I think you are going to be in trouble."
Do I need to tell you this
As soon as Jianchou saw that look, he felt that he was in big trouble!
It turns out that Wei Xiang is undifferentiated between men and women and takes them all
She really had the urge to throw down her axe and leave.
Unfortunately, no.
Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Jianchou took two steps forward, put his hand on the stone door, and did not move.
Wei Xiang finally had a chance to speak, and hurriedly said, "This door cannot be opened by ordinary means. When I found the door under the reef, I had already tried it, but it didn't work. Then I asked two brothers to come with me. I didn't expect to run into that evil guy at this time!"
When it comes to Tao Zhang, Wei Xiang grits his teeth.
After hearing what Wei Xiang said, Jianchou suddenly realized that there was a small mistake in his previous judgment.
It seems like it should be a coincidence.
However, it was a coincidence that the disciples of Wangjiang Tower discovered this place; it was a coincidence that they ran into Tao Zhang three days later; but it was definitely not a coincidence that Tao Zhang appeared here.
There must be a secret behind this stone door.
Jianchou thought about it and looked at it more carefully.
This stone gate was very simple. Jianchou only found some strange patterns on the four corners of the stone gate.
The two lower corners are painted with flowing waves, as if representing "water", and the two upper corners are painted with cloud patterns, as if representing the sky.
What does this mean
"The Great Dream Reef got its name from ancient times. It is said that an ancient mythical beast had a big dream here and never woke up."
This is Mo Yuanxing's voice.
Jianchou looked back and saw Mo Yuanxing coming up with a frown on his face. He was obviously equally puzzled. "However, these are just legends. If it weren't for my disciple who discovered it, no one would know that there is such a stone path under this island. But now the stone path is closed and we can't get in. Only Senior Qu followed us in. What should we do now?"
What flashed through my mind was the smile that flashed across Qu Zhengfeng's face when he said, "Open the door, we'll step back."
Although he felt that something was wrong with this matter, it can be seen that Chou believed in Qu Zhengfeng.
One is at the peak of Nascent Soul stage, the other is just at the beginning of Forming Core. At this time, Tao Zhang is feeling proud of himself and thinks his plan has worked, so there probably won't be any big problems.
Jianchou wanted to try the "Heaven-Flipping Seal" that he got from the hidden world of Qingfeng Temple, but he couldn't use it because of the presence of so many people.
Just as he was pondering, another voice came.
It’s still the little fat boy Jiang He.
"Second Senior Brother has dealt with this kind of thing many times before. Senior Sister, I don't think this old man Mo from Wangjiang Tower is a good person. Second Senior Brother must have his own plans if he doesn't discuss it with us first. Why don't we wait for him outside?"
Jianchou frowned, then thought of Mo Yuanxing's performance along the way, and finally smiled.
She didn't look at Jiang He, but turned around and said, "Although Junior Brother Qu entered alone, his strength is at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. This place is strange. Since we can't enter, why don't we go to the island first and find someone to inquire about the situation here. As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. It's nothing more than this. I wonder what Elder Mo thinks?"
Mo Yuanxing didn't expect Jianchou to say such a thing.
He was stunned for a moment, and looked at the stone door in front of him unwillingly, and said: "I still have two disciples in there, and their lives are uncertain. How can I rest assured? I will never agree to let them leave like this!"
After saying that, his eyes turned cold, and he actually flew up on his sword at that moment!
Mo Yuanxing's sword was three fingers wide, three feet and one inch long, and completely white, as if it was made of ice.
When he raised the sword, the fighting plate under his feet unfolded.
Jianchou took a look and saw that it was more than two meters tall.
A ray of spiritual light overflowed from Mo Yuanxing's brow, and a complex Taoist seal flashed on the fighting plate!
As the sword was drawn, a spike of ice instantly condensed from the tip of the sword!
The ice took advantage of the water's force and was in the sea again. Jianchou and the others saw a piece of ice and snow rolling out from the tip of Mo Yuanxing's sword, and quickly solidified along the direction of the water flow, and suddenly it crashed towards the two stone doors with a loud bang!
Buzz…
The ripples and cloud patterns at the four corners of the stone gate seemed to come alive and converge towards the middle!
The water waves and cloud patterns suddenly formed a square shape!
The terrifying attack from Mo Yuanxing's sword happened to hit the four corners formed by the water waves and cloud patterns!
Countless pieces of ice and snow, like sharp knives and swords, make the sound of metal and stone!
However, when it hit the four corners, it was like a drop in the ocean, creating only a few ripples before being swallowed up without a trace...
How quickly the swords, ice and snow disappear!
Seeing this scene, Chou's pupils shrank.
This water wave and cloud pattern is so strange!
After swallowing up Mo Yuanxing's attack, the water wave and cloud pattern seemed to be full and suddenly moved outwards as if it had burped.
The surrounding sea water was rippling slightly.
In an instant, Jianchou felt his scalp tingling and a feeling of extreme danger rose in his heart.
She swung the axe without hesitation and shouted!
"Walk!"
The four people in the passage were not fools. They immediately ran for their lives, turned into four meteor-like rays of light, and rushed out of the passage together!
Jianchou stood on the ghost axe, and one after another afterimages flashed in the air, but they were different from the flowing light of others.
The moment she rushed out of the passage, she looked back—
The water wave and cloud patterns in the four corners of the stone gate actually spread back to the four corners after the agitation subsided!
Then, a heart-throbbing white light shot out from the stone gate!
The countless swords, knives, and ice and snow that had been swallowed by the stone gate were actually spit out!
The power is enormous, more than ten times!
"Damn it! I'm so scared!"
The little fat boy, who also turned around out of curiosity to look, was so scared when he saw the scene that he screamed and the red light under his feet, which could not be faster, actually became even faster!
call out!
A red arrow shot out from the deep blue sea!
Jianchou naturally heard the fat man's scolding, and for a moment he felt that the other party had expressed his own thoughts.
The surging white light behind him seemed to blind people's eyes, and he rushed out madly!
As Jianchou's mind moved, light shone brightly from the ancestral orifice between his eyebrows, and a fighting plate more than ten feet long was suddenly released, emitting dazzling light in the deep sea!
The pattern on the ghost axe suddenly twisted, and for a moment, it seemed as if there were the sounds of thousands of ghosts howling around Jianchou!
Once it was activated, the ghost axe whizzed out and actually caught up with the little fat man who had run away earlier in an instant!
Above our heads, the light from the sea surface can be seen through the layers of sea water.
Jianchou didn't hesitate any more and rushed straight up!
Crash!
The waves are rising!
Jianchou rode out with an axe and directly broke through the vast sea!
The little fat boy came out and shouted, "Sister, how can you be so fast! This is not what I thought!"
"Bang!"
There was another sound behind me.
This time, it was Mo Yuanxing who dragged the frightened Wei Xiang out.
Jianchou was already standing high above the sea, with ghostly shadows surrounding him, looking extremely terrifying!
Her fair face, hidden among the howling ghosts, looked even colder.
Looking back, I saw that there were still people standing on the island.
She just took a picture with the inside and outside mirror!
"Hide quickly!"
After the initial shock, many Wangjiang Tower disciples on the islands and reefs flew up in their flying weapons as if they were fleeing for their lives.
Under the deep blue sea, the overwhelming white light is already right in front of us, and it is about to break through the sea surface!
A few Wangjiang Tower disciples who were slow in their movements felt the islands and reefs beneath their feet tremble, and a surge of cold air seemed to emerge from where they were standing, trying to freeze them there.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
A beam of glazed golden light came from the sky, with astonishing power!
Several people were caught off guard and were blown away from the island by the rotating golden light!
Click, click, click!
At the moment when everyone was knocked away, white light had already burst out of the sea!
A black island reef protruding from the sea was suddenly frozen and turned into snow-white!
The attacks from the stone gate have not stopped yet...
With the islands and reefs as the center, the scope of freezing continued to expand. Jianchou only felt that this piece of white was like a drop of ink dropped into clean water, and it spread out in an instant!
The West Sea is frozen!
The sea water froze piece by piece, spreading out for a hundred feet before it gradually slowed down and stopped bit by bit...
“Boom boom boom!”
There were several consecutive sounds of landing!
The disciples of Wangjiang Tower who were thrown out by Jianchou Liwaijing fell heavily on the frozen ice surface, rolled outwards several times, and barely stopped.
The few people who managed to escape with their lives were still in shock. They crawled up from the ice and flew up with their swords to avoid the attack. Only then did they have a real feeling of "I am still alive".
The glazed golden light that had been thrown out before shrank and turned into a round mirror, and finally flew back into Jianchou's hand.
She caught it with one hand and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Countless people immediately looked at her with eyes that still contained horror, as if they were grateful.
If Jianchou hadn't slapped him at the critical moment just now, I'm afraid that several disciples of Wangjiang Tower would have been frozen under the ice!
Looking around, everything is white.
The deep blue of the ocean can only be found on the sea surface farther and farther away.
The power of one strike is so terrifying!
It was obvious that after the stone gate swallowed Mo Yuanxing's sword, it returned the sword with ten times or a hundred times the power!
A ray of red light came from the south and in the blink of an eye it reached the frozen surface.
The fighting plate under Jianchou's feet had begun to slowly disappear, and the ghost shadows dancing wildly on the ghost axe and the sounds of their cries also gradually died down, and gradually shrank back into the countless patterns of the ghost axe like a puff of smoke.
When the scarlet light stopped in front of everyone, the many ghost shadows on the Ghost Axe finally solidified back on the Ghost Axe.
It looked like Jianchou was standing on a giant axe with strange patterns.
After the lightning-fast scene just now, everyone looked at her with lingering fear. Even though she was standing on the ghost axe which was somewhat unbecoming of her status as a female cultivator, everyone felt that she had an indifferent and arrogant demeanor.
The wind blew the corners of my clothes, and the thrilling scene just now was still in my mind.
Jianchou was still tense, and when he saw the light in front of him suddenly fade, he looked up with icy eyes.
A man in a dark blue Taoist robe stood on a hideous bone sword that emitted a scarlet glow. He stood with his hands behind his back. His face was strangely pale, but there was a hint of arrogance between his brows.
Wu Duan was checking over the West Sea when he suddenly noticed some unusual movements, so he rushed over quickly.
Unexpectedly, I saw such an amazing scene here.
Nowadays, in the Nineteen Continents, there are still people using such a spooky magical weapon...
She is a female cultivator.
Jianchou only sensed a kind of terrifying aura from this man and this man's bone sword—
Somewhat similar to Qu Zhengfeng.
She was frowning, but she didn't expect that Mo Yuanxing next to her recognized this person at a glance, and hurriedly flew forward to bow: "Mo Yuanxing of Wangjiang Tower, I greet Senior Wu Duan of Kunwu!"
"Mo Yuanxing?"
Wu Duan heard the voice and finally turned around.
At this time, he realized that there were actually a few people here. The most eye-catching one was the fat guy next to him who also had a red light under his feet.
He recognized this man.
At that moment, Wu Duan actually forgot about Mo Yuanxing and just looked at Jiang He with a frown.
Seemingly surprised, and also fearful.
"Yashan?"
Jianchou, who was standing on the ghost axe next to him, glanced at the respectful Mo Yuanxing, and then looked at Wu Duan, who was standing tall and gracefully with a heavenly appearance on the white bone sword, and suddenly felt a sense of trance.
—Kunwu
Wu Duan's gaze was fixed on Jiang He, and finally turned back to Jianchou.
He looked at Jianchou for a long time, recalling the scene he had seen from afar before.
With Wu Duan's cultivation level, he could naturally tell that Jianchou was only in the middle stage of foundation building. However, after rushing out of the sea just now, he still had some strength left. He directly shot out with his mirror and rescued those pieces of trash at the critical moment, which fully demonstrated his intelligence and means.
besides…
This is a magical axe.
Just because outsiders don’t know the news doesn’t mean Kunwu doesn’t know it either.
He didn't see Jiang He before, but when all the information came together, Wu Duan narrowed his eyes.
He rolled and released the tip of his tongue, looking at Jianchou with a suddenly strange look in his eyes.
"Although you have only established your foundation on the thirteenth day, you have a heavenly plate, which is more powerful than my Kunwu Xie Junior Brother. If I am not mistaken... You must be a disciple of Yashan, Senior Sister Jianchou?"
