Chapter 1056 Front Line

"Of course I know. You want to ask me about the Three Immortal Islands, right? Yes, that was the plan I made back then." Mu Dao Ren smiled, as if he had anticipated what Yuan Ming was thinking.

"Senior, you already knew that I was from Yunhuang Continent?" Yuan Ming was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he felt it was reasonable.

"I realized it from the first time I saw you." Mu Dao Ren smiled.

"Then can you tell me what is the existence of Yunhuang Continent? Why is it located in the Death Abyss, isolated from the outside world?" Yuan Ming asked hurriedly.

"That's a long story. Yunhuang Continent was actually an attempt of mine in my early years. You should also know that in the Death Abyss, there is a corpse of a six-winged cicada. It contains a trace of chaotic blood in its body. According to legend, it is the key to the realm of true immortals." Mu Dao Ren recalled the past.

Yuan Ming and Xiying listened very carefully, and the old ancestor Binglan beside them also showed a curious look at this time, obviously hearing about it for the first time.

"After I was promoted to Mahayana, I have been looking for the way to the realm of true immortals. Naturally, I also set my sights on this trace of chaotic blood. Unfortunately, the chaotic blood is born from nature, and no means can transplant it into other people's bodies. The only way to obtain it is to breed living beings within the range of its aura, waiting for someone to be infected with the aura in the future and awaken the true meaning of chaos." Mu Daoren said slowly.

"So you used your means to move the Yunhuang Continent to the Death Abyss." Yuan Ming said with some realization.

"Yes, I used my means to open up a safe area in the Death Abyss, and moved some land from all over Izumo, and finally pieced it into the current appearance of the Yunhuang Continent. At the same time, in order for the people inside to come out, I also left Sanxian Island as a transit, and left opportunities and tests on the island. Only those who pass can get the qualification to go to the outside world." Mu Daoren explained one by one.

"Senior, you should not have paid attention to the situation in Yunhuang for a long time, right?" Yuan Ming smiled bitterly.

"After arranging everything, I sent my clone to live in Yunhuang for a long time, but I didn't find anyone awakening the true meaning of chaos. Later, I encountered various major changes in the Izumo Realm, so I recalled my clone and put this matter behind my mind. It was not until I saw you that I remembered it again." Mu Daoren nodded, with a puzzled look on his face, as if he didn't know why Yuan Ming asked this question.

Yuan Ming had no choice but to briefly recount what happened on Sanxian Island that year.

"You said that Xiaohui turned Sanxian Island into a dead place? That shouldn't be the case. I remember that it was very well-behaved and very close to me back then." Mu Daoren was surprised when he heard this.

Yuan Ming didn't expect that the undead tree that was so arrogant back then actually had such a cute name "Xiaohui". When he thought about the fact that he cast nightmares, the undead tree saw the figure of Mu Daoren, and the "closeness" and "well-behaved" in Mu Daoren's words seemed to make sense.

However, the figure seemed to be different from Mu Dao Ren. I think Mu Dao Ren changed the appearance of his clone. No wonder Yuan Ming didn't recognize him.

"The arrangement made me suffer a lot! But without the senior, there would be no Yuan Ming today. Yuan Ming will never forget this favor." Yuan Ming said, bowing to Mu Dao Ren.

"You are too kind. Your achievements are all achieved by your own efforts bit by bit. I didn't participate much. After all, I didn't know your identity until the battle of the Three Realms Immortal Boat." Mu Dao Ren shook his head and held Yuan Ming up with his hand.

"This reminds me of something. When I returned to the void, I also had an adventure and got a secret technique from a secret realm. Later, I achieved Mahayana and found out that it was also an opportunity that Mu Dao Ren accidentally laid. He has lived for so long. There is no secret place in the Chuyun Realm that he doesn't have his figure. I am afraid that there are so many that he can't count them." Ancestor Bing Lan also smiled.

"Okay, okay, let's stop chatting here. It's getting late. Binglan, you stay here and help Sima Changqin and the others identify the gains in the Questioning Heaven Secret Realm. I will take Yuan Ming to the retreat cave." Mu Daoren flicked his sleeves and took Yuan Ming out of the underground hall.

...

Four months later.

Yuan Ming, who was in retreat, looked moved, raised his hand to summon the Heaven Stealing Cauldron, and contacted Wang Fulong.

"What do you want to see me for?" His voice sounded in Wang Fulong's sea of ​​consciousness.

Wang Fulong was praying in a dark underground palace at this time. Hearing Yuan Ming's response, he immediately pointed to a pile of things in front of him.

"My lord, based on the clues you provided, I found the inheritance left by Gongshu Lingren. These are my discoveries. See if you need anything." Wang Fulong replied respectfully.

Yuan Ming explored with his spiritual consciousness and saw that there were many kinds of things in front of Wang Fulong, not only skills and magic weapons, but also elixirs and spiritual materials, all of which were precious things.

However, for Yuan Ming now, the things inside are either temporarily unusable or can be obtained through other means. As for the skills and weapon refining inheritance, he has no time to practice.

But soon, his eyes fell on the hilt of a broken sword.

The appearance of the hilt is no different from the black sword held by Su Wushen before. The fierce aura emanating from it reminds Yuan Ming of his own Soul-Destroying Sword.

There is no doubt that this is the last fragment of the Great Freedom Demon Sword.

There was a palm-sized light grey token placed next to the hilt. This token was quite peculiar, slightly transparent, and looked ethereal and illusory, like clouds and mist. The words "Three Realms" were suspended in the center of the token, and they were also slowly rippling like flowing ink.

"Sacrifice the hilt, the token, and the inheritance of refining equipment. As for the rest, you can keep it for your own practice. I don't need it for the time being." Yuan Ming said.

"It's all up to you, sir." Wang Fulong naturally had no objection.

Not long after, Yuan Ming got all three things in his hands by stealing the Tianding.

The Three Realms Immortal Token felt very light, and holding it in his hand was like holding a pool of clear water. Yuan Ming held the Token in his hand and played with it for a while. He did not refine it immediately, but called Xihezi.

Xihezi did not like fighting. After learning that Xiying was going to drive the Shura Palace to Guixu, he took the initiative to move out and stayed in the cave in Changqingdao with Yuan Ming. With the power of the time array, he continued to study the way of refining equipment.

"Here is the weapon refining inheritance left by Gongshu Lingren. See if it can help you." Yuan Ming said, handing over the jade slip recording the inheritance.

"Yes, this Gongshu Lingren is still quite capable. This thing is very useful to me. Thank you." Xihezi took the jade slip and looked at it, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"As long as you like it. Come, help me see if there is any hidden trick left in this token. In addition, help me refine this hilt and Su Wu's black sword into my soul-destroying sword." Yuan Ming smiled and ordered immediately.

Xihezi was happy and didn't think it was troublesome. He waved his hand directly: "Okay! Leave it to me, I guarantee you will be satisfied."

Yuan Ming smiled and told Xihezi to deal with it as soon as possible, and then he rushed into cultivation again.

...

One year later, Guixu.

As the front line of the conflict between the Izumo Realm and the Demon Realm, the Izumo Realm monks built a total of 36 border cities and 72 fortresses here. All the city walls and fortifications were connected in a line, surrounding the entire Guixu, forming two solid defense lines without any gaps.

At this moment, looking north into the city.

On the city wall, two monks were chatting casually.

"Tell me, how long have we not been so comfortable here?" The young male cultivator in dark armor said with emotion.

"Hehe, when has this broken place of Guixu ever been comfortable? It's only in the past few years that Lord Xiyue has come, and with the power of Shura Palace, we can have some free time." The long-bearded male cultivator beside him said, raising his hand to worship the sky.

"Yes! In the past, the demons attacked almost every day, and people died every day. I heard that several fortresses farther away were almost lost several times, and finally they were snatched back with human lives. I don't know where the demons got so many people. The number of high-level cultivators is almost twice as much as ours." The young male cultivator looked scared, as if he recalled the battle at that time.

"It is said that the area of ​​the demon world is larger than ours. Many people die every day, but there are more people left behind. Once the space channel is opened, they are sent to us in batches. The last time the demon world invaded, it took advantage of the weakest time in Guixu's space. The demon world forcibly broke through a large-scale space channel, and even Mahayana could enter and exit, and finally broke out." The long-bearded cultivator also showed a lingering fear.

"It won't happen now. As soon as the demon's space channel appears, it will be defeated by Lord Xiyue God driving the Shura Palace. Their replenishment of troops is getting less and less, so we are so idle." The young cultivator looked pious.

"But I heard that several Mahayana ancestors seem to be preparing for war. I'm afraid that the demons will have to invade on a large scale sooner or later." The long-bearded monk said worriedly.

"Maybe! But at least we have survived this time. Now the spatial strength of Guixu is gradually recovering. The weakest time has passed. No matter what the demon world plans, it will have to wait until the next weakest time comes. By then, at least you and I don't have to guard this city wall anymore." The young monk stretched his body and spoke with gratitude.

But the next moment, the two of them suddenly heard a roar, and the sky above them suddenly darkened.

They looked up in surprise, and saw that there were ten huge black fingers in the sky without any warning, all as huge as pillars supporting the sky.

And as these ten fingers grabbed hard on both sides, a black and red crack that stretched for tens of thousands of miles suddenly appeared and was torn apart bit by bit.

In an instant, boundless demonic energy surged out from the cracks. At the same time, countless demon monks walked out of the cracks along with the demonic energy. Among them there were even several terrifying figures. As soon as they appeared, the heaven and earth changed, and all kinds of strange sights appeared.
