Chapter 1364: Eternal Obsession

Li Fan secretly looked around.

After the Qingming Pearl shattered and dissipated, it was like an invisible boulder falling into the crack of the ground.

The endless, maze-like dark river in the Xinghai Depression was rippling with ripples.

An inexplicable aura was surging in it, adding an inexplicable vitality to this place.

It seemed that the complete dissipation of the Qingming Pearl activated something.

Li Fan vaguely realized that the crack of the ground here seemed to have become a little different.

"It seems that for thousands of years, the Qingming Pearl has been constantly releasing its energy to the outside world. It was almost

reaching its limit and was about to be completely drained."

Our approach was just the finishing touch. "Li Fan sighed.

Mo Rubin also discovered this, and his expression, which had become a little out of control due to excitement, gradually eased.

He looked back at the entire crack depression, and vaguely understood the meaning of this place: accumulating vitality and waiting for the right time to trigger it. Then guide the star sea to fully recover!

"Such a sophisticated project must not be generated naturally by the star sea. Not to mention that there is also the Qingming Pearl as a trigger for the supply of vitality." Mo Rubin's thoughts turned rapidly.

'Could it be that this is Brother Xuan's arrangement? But when exactly did it happen?

"The Qingming Pearl is Brother Xuanyuan's most important treasure, and he never leaves his body. It actually stayed here while Brother Xuanyuan disappeared in that unknown pond. "

Mo Rubin's expression was a little surprised and doubtful.

"This matter is indeed a bit strange." Li Fan nodded, "Or, when King Xuantian was attacked that year, he did not disappear directly, but fell into a deep sleep due to serious injuries. It was not until later that the arrangement of this ground crack depression was made. Perhaps the pool of water in Xuanhuang Realm is connected to a ground crack here. "Or, before the attack, King Xuantian had already handed over the Qingming Pearl to someone else. Over the years, this person has been replacing him to carry out various plans related to the resurrection of the Star Sea. "Absolutely impossible!" Before Li Fan finished speaking, Mo Rubin subconsciously interrupted him. Li Fan stared at Mo Rubin meaningfully: "Brother Mo, can you tell me, among the twelve Dharma Kings, which one did King Xuantian trust the most?" "No need to say anything like treating everyone equally. The difference between relatives and strangers is the principle of the great way, even saints can hardly avoid it." Mo Rubin had a cold face and hesitated to speak. Then he actually closed his eyes directly to cover up his inner unrest. But in the end, Mo Rubin still did not escape this question: "I think, if Brother Xuanyuan really has someone he trusts the most, then it must be Xing Wuque."

"Xing Wuque"

Information about this Dharma King appeared in Li Fan's mind from time to time.

All his limbs were missing, and his facial features were destroyed. He always wore a bronze fang mask and almost

never communicated with others.

"In Xuantian Sect, except Brother Xuanyuan, no one knows the true identity of Xing Wuque. As you said before, there is a difference between close and distant. Our twelve Dharma Kings have also been divided into small groups because of their relationship with each other."

"Sun Xingwang and Sikong Lin often accompany each other and say things that others can't understand; Gongye Tianzong and Tianxingke always have a great time talking and drinking; Luo Yichen, Nie Da Niang, Ji Yuzhen, and Sanniang always have some endless whispers."

Only Xing Wuque always keeps a distance from other Dharma Kings and never actively communicates with anyone in the sect. When he appears, he is always alone. But every time he is assigned a task, he never makes mistakes and completes it with extremely high efficiency. "Mo Rubin's face showed a look of reminiscence.

"It's like a machine that has cut off its seven emotions and six desires and no longer lives for itself."

"Because of this, Brother Xuanyuan may trust him the most. "

"Moreover, when the incident happened that day, Xing Wuque did not seem to be in the sect." Mo Rubin frowned.

Li Fan nodded slightly: "If it was really this Xing Wuque who took the Qingming Pearl back then, then he should have been running for the tasks of King Xuantian all these years. I wonder if Brother Mo has a way to contact this King Xingfa?"

Mo Rubin shook his head: "Xing Wuque has only had direct contact with Brother Xuanyuan. However, as if he suddenly thought of something, Mo Rubin looked at the place where the Qingming Pearl had disappeared before. "I wonder if I can use the [Xian] character technique on the Qingming Pearl again? I'm sure I can find out more. "The Qingming Pearl is an immortal weapon. I'm afraid the real immortal seal characters are useless to it. Besides, it has disappeared now." Li Fan pointed to the surroundings and said with ripples still rippling. "Dissipation does not mean disappearance. Even among the many treasures that Brother Xuanyuan got from the immortal world, the Qingming Pearl is the most precious one. How can it be so easy to disappear.

"The Qingming Pearl did not disappear, but in some special form, it turned into vitality and existed in the dark river here. Mo Rubin said decisively, and restored the style of the twelve Dharma Kings of Xuantian Sect in the past: "Just use the infinite vitality dark river here as the target to perform the Manifestation Technique!" Li Fan re-understood this boundless dark river in the ground and vaguely understood it. He cheered up and wrote the word [Manifestation] in the air again with great solemnity. The moment the mysterious characters took shape, they melted into the dark river like ink. The reverberating ripples and the regular rhythm were quickly disrupted. It seemed that another unrelated and completely independent wave appeared. Li Fan and Mo Rubin followed the direction of the wave transmission and moved forward rapidly. This time, they continued to go deeper into the ground, and it took more than 30 days of twists and turns before they finally reached the end. "Be careful, there seems to be a living person's breath fluctuation ahead!" Mo Rubin suddenly warned.

Li Fan had already protected the wooden sword phantom by his side and slowly approached.

At the end of the dark river, a figure sat alone.

The breath was erratic, and there was a fang mask on his face!

"Xing Wuque?" Seeing the familiar figure, Mo Rubin couldn't help but shout loudly.

However, after Li Fan was stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart.

Xing Wuque had lost his hands and feet a long time ago, but this figure had all his limbs intact.

More importantly,

the clothes he wore were very familiar to Li Fan.

It was exactly the same as Xu Ke who had disappeared in the depths of the dark river before!

"Is it Xu Ke?"

"Or Xing Wuque?"

"No wonder I sensed his erratic aura before. Li Fan pondered and did not act rashly.

After a brief shock, Mo Rubin naturally distinguished the differences between the man in front of him and his old friend.

After careful observation for a while, he made a judgment: "It seems to be true, but it is not. It should be in a state of some kind of wonderful fusion? Could it be that after so many years, Xing Wuque is also approaching his end and has no choice but to use a method of survival?"

Li Fan saw that this fusion should be dominated by Xu Ke. Rather than saying it is Xing Wuque's survival, it is better to say it is inheritance.

"As expected of the son of destiny, he was hit by the reverberating star power to this deadly place, and he could actually encounter such an opportunity. "

"If Mo Rubin's previous guess is correct, Xing Wuque has been carrying out the tasks assigned by King Xuantian for ten thousand years.

"Xu Ke also took on the responsibility of suppressing Xuanhuang's evil thoughts alone and forever because of Mr. Bai's dying wish."

"These two people are very similar in this respect. Perhaps this is the reason why Xu Ke can obtain Xing Wuque's inheritance?" Li Fan secretly pondered in his heart.

Mo Rubin shook his head slightly: "This new body is too weak to withstand Xing Wuque's strength. But we can help!"

As he said, Mo Rubin shot out a magic heart.

In the process of flying towards the target, the originally twisted expression on the magic heart slowly dissolved.

It turned into a faceless face, and then completely melted and became a viscous gray solution.

It penetrated into Xu Ke's body in an instant.

After a moment, Xu Ke's erratic breath became somewhat stable.

"Billions of demon hearts can not only hurt people and take over bodies, but also suppress disasters and save lives. It is worthy of being a divine witch clan magic." Li Fan sighed when he saw this scene. Not to be outdone, he shot out dozens of golden needles. Just like he helped Mo Rubin before, he infused pure spiritual power and soul power through the golden thread. With the help of the two powerful men, Xu Ke's process of integrating the bronze mask was more than a thousand times faster! It would have taken at least several decades to complete the absorption of all inheritance. Now, not long after, Xu Ke's breath has gradually become stable. Li Fan and Mo Rubin waited quietly. Finally, two bright lights lit up from the eyes of the mask. Seeing the two people in front of him, Xu Ke's body shook slightly. "Saint Master?!" He shouted subconsciously, his tone full of confusion. His voice and tone have become completely different from Xu Ke's in the past. But the content of the words,

undoubtedly revealed the true identity of the figure now.

"Hmm?" Hearing a familiar voice, but shouting out unfamiliar content. Mo Rubin was slightly

stunned for a while, and then finally reacted and looked at Li Fan.

At this time, Li Fan also had a shocked face. He asked in disbelief: ""Xu Ke? How could it be you? ! "

As if he had not noticed it before.

Mo Rubin asked coldly, "You are not Xing Wuque? What did you do to him?"

There was a dangerous light flashing in his eyes, and it was only because Xu Ke knew Li Fan that he did not act immediately.

"Senior Xing has already reached his limit and passed away.

"I picked up this mask by chance and passed his test.

I can be regarded as a reluctant successor to his legacy." Xu Ke's tone was a little gloomy.

Xu Ke told the whole story in detail.

It was the same as Li Fan's previous guess. Maybe Xing Wuque did have the idea of ​​taking over another body and being reborn, but after sensing that Xu Ke's life was very similar to his own,

Xing Wuque finally chose to give up.

The fusion then became inheritance.

"The inheritance of the senior is too huge. Even if he let me absorb it, I

could not accept it for a while. Instead, I fell into an unstable state of mind."

"Fortunately, the two seniors helped. "Xu Ke bowed.

The voice of his former companion spoke to him like this. Mo Rubin suddenly felt a little

uncomfortable.

Li Fan directly asked about the relationship between Xing Wuque and the dark sea of ​​​​ground fissures in the Star Sea.

"In the inheritance of Senior Xing, it seems that this aspect of memory has been deliberately concealed."

"But through some memory fragments, I can also infer the general situation."

"This underground river that spreads all over the Star Sea was dug out inch by inch by Senior Xing over the years using the power of the fairy treasure

Qingming Pearl." Xu Ke spoke, directly stunned Li Fan and Mo Rubin.

"The underground river is spread all over the Star Sea. It is really hard to imagine that such a project

can be accomplished by one person. But even if it was deliberately deleted by the senior, there are still a lot of remaining memories of opening up the underground river, which undoubtedly shows his achievements." Xu Ke said very

sadly.

"Since Senior Xing received the order from King Xuantian, he has been holding the Qingming Pearl

and doing this work. "

"For ten thousand years, there has never been a moment of rest."

"Even if the senior has extraordinary cultivation, it is a great burden to push the fairy treasure Qingming Pearl. Ten thousand years of non-stop, years of persistence, finally made him reach the limit"

"With regret, he fell at the end of this crack in the ground." Xu Ke showed a sad face and told everything.

Li Fan was silent.

Although it sounds so unreasonable.

But if Xing Wuque is really the character described by Mo Rubin before, it may not be impossible.

Mo Rubin was even more shocked and wanted to say something several times but stopped.

He looked forward, at the end of the crack in the ground: "Xing Wuque didn't complete the task assigned by Brother Xuanyuan until his death?"

Xu Ke nodded: "This is also what I will continue to do for the rest of my life. Since I have inherited the mantle of Senior Xing, I will naturally help him complete his unfinished business. "

The tone was calm, but extremely resolute.

Mo Rubin's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and he looked at Xu Ke with surprise.

"Absurd."

"Let's not talk about the meaning of doing this. The fairy treasure Qingming Pearl has been broken. With your current cultivation, how can you open up a new underground river?"

Xu Ke did not waver at all: "Persisting in completing Senior Xing's obsession is the meaning of life."

"As for the broken fairy treasure, a dazzling green color suddenly bloomed on the mask on Xu Ke's face.

It was exactly the same as what Li Fan had seen on the original Qingming Pearl before!

"In the ten thousand years of pioneering years, the senior has already transformed the act of opening up underground rivers into his own instinct. Now that it has been passed down to me, I can do it even without the fairy treasure!"

"It's just another repetition after ten thousand years!"

The green light flew out from the mask.

Illuminating the front, the end of the dark river.

Witnessed by Mo Rubin and Li Fan, Xu Ke indeed opened up a new crack in the ground! However, after advancing less than three meters, the green light suddenly broke. Xu Ke also fell to the ground as if exhausted. "How long will it take you to complete it?" Li Fan snorted coldly. "As long as there is progress every time, there will always be a day to complete it." Xu Ke said with a difficult smile. "As Senior Xing said, the instructions of King Xuantian must have his meaning."
