The Path of the Sage

Chapter 296: A real gain

Views:

Shengyuan Continent, Daofeng Mountain.

The sky above the Holy Temple changed from bright to dark. Strange sounds spread out and tore through the white clouds in the sky.

At the foot of Daofeng Mountain, many literati looked up at the sky above Daofeng Mountain in surprise.

"The saints quarreled?"

"Should they be discussing the Dao?"

"I hope it's not a fight over the Holy Path."

"Alas, first the Ten Thousand Books worshipped the moon, then the Five Rainbows filled the sky. This is unprecedented. I don't know what terrible things have happened. I don't know what kind of disaster is hidden. The saints must have arguments."

"Life is becoming increasingly difficult for us humans." Some people sighed and looked up at the sky.

Five blood-red rainbows spanned the night sky.

The demon ancestor’s gate.

Fragments of the Comet Corridor fell towards the Demon Ancestor's gate. Most of the fragments were burned up in the process of falling, but some fragments were protected by the power of the stone lions and fell at a slower speed.

Soon, these protected fragments fell to the ground one after another, and the monsters and barbarians on the fragments were only slightly injured at most.

The weather at the Demon Ancestor's Gate was bad, and many pieces of debris fell into the sandstorm. The scholar at the entrance of the seventh corridor was luckier, as he landed on a grassy field, dozens of miles away from the sandstorm zone.

Before the large pieces fell to the ground, the candidates had already jumped down using the Speedy War Poems, and no one was injured.

"Yukong, Fang Yun is gone and you are the one leading us. What should we do now?" Zong Wude said.

Yan Yukong said: "When the seventh corridor was broken, I secretly observed that the poisonous snow on the other fragments quickly dissipated, but there was still poisonous snow on one fragment, and I saw a frost dog flying out from there. If I am not mistaken, that should be where the Star Throne is."

"I also remembered that Fang Yun might be there."

"The fragments of the corridor seem to have fallen into a sandstorm. With Fang Yun's strength, he should be able to walk out."

Yan Yukong recalled everything he had seen, and showed a worried look. He said, "With Fang Yun's strength, he can get out, but have you ever thought about why the Comet Corridor collapsed? And why did the seventh corridor collapse in a different way than other places?"

Everyone immediately recalled what had happened before.

"The Comet Corridor won't collapse because of Fang Yun, right?"

"Have you thought carefully about the process of the Fifth Corridor? Fang Yun was able to send us directly to the exit of the maze, which means he might have a certain relationship with Fu Yue. Then Fu Yue escaped and the Fifth Corridor collapsed. When Fang Yun became the King of Stars, the entire Comet Corridor collapsed. Is there any connection between the two?"

"That's unlikely. The Comet Corridor was built by the Demon Ancestor. There must be the power of the Demon Ancestor in it. If Fang Yun really destroyed the Comet Corridor, he would definitely be counterattacked by the power left by the Demon Ancestor. Fang Yun would definitely not be able to withstand it!"

"That's why I feel Fang Yun is in danger." Yan Yukong said.

"Are you guys making this too serious? Fang Yun's luck can't be that bad, right?"

"It's hard to say. What is a comet? It's a broom star, a bad luck star! If it weren't for the half-saint refuting the rumor, everyone would think that a comet would cause a catastrophe, which means it's evil."

"The Half Saint has already debunked the rumor, why are you still bringing this up?"

"The comet of the Demon Ancestor's Gate might contain other powers, and Fang Yun might be unlucky enough to encounter it."

Zong Wude said, "No, good people will be blessed by heaven. We Qing people hate him to death. Even... I don't know what my wife thinks of him in her heart, but he can still lead us to the seventh corridor alive. He will definitely not die so easily."

"You all remember the experience of the sandstorm. Don't even mention whether we can find the direction after entering. If a strange beast like the sand centipede emerges from there, we will definitely die. How about we go to the First Star City and wait for a while? If we can't wait for Fang Yun, we can ask the demon lord who has the sand centipede to lead us in the search."

"No, I have to go find His Majesty the Moon Emperor! I remember the approximate direction where the large fragment fell." Niu Shan said firmly and glared at Quan Xi.

Quan Xi whimpered helplessly twice, wagging his tail, and led the way for Niu Shan.

Many candidates looked at each other.

Yan Yukong looked around at everyone and said, "Fang Yun brought us to the seventh corridor. This help is no less than the personal instruction of a great scholar and mentor. As the temporary leader of the team, I order you to find Fang Yun immediately! Anyone who disobeys will be killed!"

Yan Yukong's gaze was like a sharp blade that swept through everyone's eyes.

"Fang Yun has not abandoned us, so we naturally cannot abandon Fang Yun. Let's go." Li Fanming said, following Niu Shan.

Everyone followed one after another.

In the sandstorm.

Fang Yun felt as if his body was hit by a huge force. When he opened his eyes, he found himself buried in a pile of ice and rocks.

Fang Yun subconsciously took out the Mountain Inkstone from the Yinjiang Shell, released the power of the defensive war poem to protect himself, pushed away the large ice block, and then checked his body. He found that there was not a single scar on the surface of his body, not even a bruise, and he did not look like he wanted to be crushed by the ice and rocks at all.

"It seems that this trip to the Comet Gallery has strengthened me in all aspects."

Fang Yun was thinking about it and was about to get up when he felt a sharp pain in his chest and abdomen. He carefully used his talent and spiritual sense to check and found that his body was seriously injured. He immediately remembered the scene when he was almost knocked down by the river formed by billions of stars.

Fang Yun took out the Yinjiangbei and checked, and found that the fox hair inside was indeed gone.

Fang Yun took a deep breath and stayed calm. Although his internal injuries were serious, they were recovering at a fast speed. He first released his literary power to protect himself and observed his surroundings.

The ground of the Seventh Corridor within a mile around was shrouded by an invisible force. The sky no longer snowed, and all the poisonous snow had lost its power and melted completely.

Farther away was a dim sandstorm. This sandstorm was more powerful than the one Fang Yun first saw when he arrived at the Demon Ancestor's gate, but he was firmly blocked outside.

Fang Yun realized that he had landed on the ground and felt relieved. He found that the ice around him showed no signs of melting, and they were all fragments of the Star Throne. However, there were no shadows of stars inside, as if it had lost its power.

This thing was made by the demon ancestor himself. Even if it was placed in Shengyuan Continent, it would be a divine object. Fang Yun observed carefully and found that it was not an ordinary ice cube, but more like an ice-shaped jade.

However, these ice jades did not have the slightest chillness. But Fang Yun did not care and unceremoniously put all the ice jades into the Yinjiangbei.

Fang Yun sat on a rock and looked around.

"What happened? I became the King of Stars, killed all the Blood Demon Barbarians, and found a strange mountain town where I killed the Soldier Barbarian Saint. Then the strange book world moved. Then the Demon Ancestor wanted to kill me, but I don't know if it was the power that the Demon Ancestor himself sent out, or the power that was left behind."

Fang Yun used his spiritual sense to enter the world of strange books and found a large stone with black and silver light floating in the world of strange books.

"What power does this stone have that is worth the Book of Wonders to offend the demon ancestor to collect it? Could it be... this is the star fragment that the demons stole from Yue's father? The entire Comet Corridor is to cover up this big stone?"

Fang Yun was both worried and happy. He was worried because this thing might involve the power of the Demon Ancestor or even a deeper level. He was happy because since both Qishu Tiandi and the Demon Ancestor wanted to get this thing, the preciousness of this star fragment was beyond words. It was countless times more precious than the longevity fruit.

Fang Yun looked at the gains from the world of strange books after entering the Holy Ruins, an unnamed book, a "Shocking Book" that recorded the inheritance of ancient monsters, and this big stone.

Staring at the big stone, Fang Yun concluded in his heart that it was because the Qishu Tiandi wanted to absorb the big stone that it clashed with the power of the Demon Ancestor, causing the Comet Corridor to collapse.

Afterwards, Fang Yun tentatively entered the Wen Palace, hoping that his Wen Palace would not be destroyed by the power of the Demon Ancestor.

"What's happening here!"

Fang Yun was stunned.

His own Wen Palace was actually filled with faint silver starlight. This silver starlight was extremely light, as light as moonlight, and could be ignored in the bright Wen Palace, but this was Wenqu starlight! It contained Wenqu star power!

"This Wenqu Star Power is almost equivalent to the Wenqu Star Power in the square on the third floor of the Comet Corridor. If this starlight continues to exist, it means that no matter where I go, I am practicing in the third floor of the Comet Corridor! This power is helping me every moment, sleeping, eating, walking, etc."

Fang Yun smiled widely. He kept reciting the verses from the holy scriptures in his mind to calm himself, but he was still so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Where does this Wenqu star power come from? Is it the power that comes with being the King of Stars? Is it the power of the starlight embedded in the mural? Or is it the power of the black stone in the strange book world?"

Even if he had obtained the complete bones of the Demon Marshal's true dragon, Fang Yun was not so happy, because he found that everything he had obtained in the Holy Ruins combined was not as important as the Wenqu Star Power, because only the Wenqu Star Power could fundamentally strengthen himself.

Wenquxing is the source of power for scholars!

The benefits are really huge. With the power of Wenqu Star, any scholar, as long as he makes basic efforts, can become a student or even a scholar before the Saint, and thus rise step by step.

Fang Yun seemed to have thought of something again and observed the starlight obtained after becoming the King of Stars. The starlight was inlaid in a mural in the Wen Palace.

The starlight was like a caged beast. Once it was released from the cage, it would inevitably start a killing spree.

"The source of Wenqu Star Power is not this starlight, but this starlight seems to be more suitable for the demon race. I should be able to use it, but I don't know how to do it yet. I must study it in the future."

Fang Yun thought of the Kong family dragon again and speculated carefully. He only heard that the Kong family dragon could control the star power, but there was no mention of the Wenqu star light shining in the Wen Palace. Logically speaking, the Kong family dragon must have obtained the Wenqu star power once after becoming the King of Stars, but it is absolutely impossible for the Wenqu star light to shine continuously in the Wen Palace.

"I got too many things from the Holy Ruins this time. I must sort them out and discover more secrets when I get out! However, since I have become a scholar, the first thing I will do after leaving Kongcheng is to go to Qingguo and fight with the state! As for the evil king..."

Fang Yun reached out and took out the Yinjiangbei he had obtained from the evil king's spirit.

The Drinking River Shells of those barbaric monsters have been broken and can only be opened later, but the Drinking River Shells of the Evil Lord can be used now.

Fang Yun slowly injected talent.

The first thing I saw was a military book.

The first of "Three Articles of Han Xin" is about repairing the plank road openly and crossing Chencang in secret.

Fang Yun immediately took it out and looked at it carefully. The pages were slightly yellow, but they exuded waves of strange power.

"Yes, this is the one!"

Among the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the eighth strategy is to sneak into Chencang. (To be continued...)
