Chapter 407 Dao Heart Oath
"Don't worry about this, I will make arrangements when the time comes." Xiying said.
"I understand." Yuan Ming nodded in response, but a strange color flashed in his eyes.
"What else do you want to ask? Why are you still hesitating in front of me? Just ask it out loud." Xiying rolled her eyes at Yuan Ming and said.
"You know so much about Wuyue Sect. Could it be that you are also a member of Wuyue Sect?" Yuan Ming smiled bitterly, but did not hesitate any longer and asked.
Xiying was silent for a moment after hearing this, and said: "If I say no, do you believe it?"
"I heard that Wuyue Sect is the origin of all soul cultivation in Yunhuang Continent. Since I have embarked on the path of soul cultivation, I will naturally not be as hostile to Wuyue Sect as the immortal sects in the Central Plains. But what is your identity in Wuyue Sect? Knowing so many secrets, but wanting to kill the venerable in the sect? This is equivalent to apostasy. You should have thought about the consequences, right?" Yuan Ming stared into Xiying's eyes.
An inexplicable look flashed across Xiying's eyes, and her lips under the veil moved, as if she was a little hesitant.
Just as she was about to tell Yuan Ming what she was thinking, the stone platform in the hall suddenly cracked, and a white light gushed out, turning into a light gate about ten feet high and three feet wide, falling in front of the two.
"I will tell you the whole story after killing the Six Desires Venerable. Now concentrate on your actions." Xiying said.
Yuan Ming knew that Xiying was not an impulsive person, nodded, and went forward to check, but found that the white light gate was covered by a restriction, and he could not touch it at all, nor could he use his spiritual sense to explore it.
At this moment, he suddenly recalled the talisman given to him by Master Shura. Since it was said that it could control some of the restrictions in the Shura Palace, it might also be able to remove the restrictions outside the light gate.
With this thought, he immediately communicated with the eyebrow spiritual talisman with his mind and tried to remove the restrictions outside the light gate.
At the same time, behind him, Xiying suddenly made a face at Yuan Ming, but she seemed to be in a much better mood than before.
Yuan Ming was focused on unlocking the restriction and did not notice Xiying's small movements.
Soon, with his efforts, there was a crisp sound of "bang", and the restriction outside the light door turned into spiritual light and dissipated.
Yuan Ming was delighted when he saw this, and immediately stepped forward to push open the light door and walked in with Xiying.
Behind the light door was another hall, which was very similar in structure to the second and third floors of the black tower.
"Is this the fourth floor?"
Yuan Ming looked around with doubts in his heart and found that there were no treasures here, only a green stone tablet standing in the center of the hall.
The stone tablet was about half a foot high and engraved with three bloody ancient characters. Yuan Ming had a wide range of knowledge when he was still a mortal and had studied ancient texts, so he immediately recognized that the three characters written on it were "Xura Palace".
However, there was a faint glow on these three ancient characters. Although they were not runes, they also had some spiritual charm on them.
"What is this?" Yuan Ming looked at the stone tablet curiously, and suddenly felt his eyebrows warm. A blood-colored spiritual rune like a pupil appeared on his forehead, and a spiritual light shone from the pupil and fell directly on the stone tablet.
"It seems that this is the core of the restriction of Shura Palace. Great, before they come back, you will be more confident in dealing with the six desires after you refine it quickly." Xiying pointed at the stone tablet, and a white light appeared on her fingertips, and her eyes lit up.
Yuan Ming was stunned at first after hearing Xiying's words, and then nodded.
He immediately focused his mind on the spiritual rune on his eyebrows, and the light from the spiritual rune rose, touching the restriction in the stone tablet.
At this moment, Yuan Ming's eyes suddenly blurred and he appeared in a mysterious space.
This space was only a few feet in size, and all four sides were pure white. Only in the direction facing Yuan Ming, there was a portrait hanging. In the portrait, Master Shura, dressed in black, turned his back to Yuan Ming, as if looking at the quiet sea in front of him.
Yuan Ming was observing the portrait with some doubts, but his eyebrows suddenly became hot, and a red light shot out from the blood-colored talisman, which disappeared into the portrait in just a moment.
Then, under Yuan Ming's surprised gaze, Master Shura in the portrait turned around and met his eyes.
"I didn't expect you to arrive at the Shura Stele first. Have you got the Shura Blood Devouring Map?" Master Shura looked at Yuan Ming and smiled.
"I failed to live up to the expectations of the senior. Although I have the talisman you gave me, my strength is limited, and the Shura Blood Devouring Map fell into the hands of others." Yuan Ming said with a wry smile.
"Who got this treasure?" Master Shura asked with a frown.
"Six Desires Venerable." Yuan Ming said.
"Is it really him..." Master Shura's expression did not change much. He muttered to himself after a short silence.
"Senior, do you know that Venerable Six Desires has entered Shura Palace?" Yuan Ming asked.
"Although he has changed his body and his magic power is completely different from before, his soul and aura cannot be hidden. I naturally recognized him." Master Shura said.
Yuan Ming was hesitant to speak after hearing this.
"You want to ask me why I didn't take the opportunity to kill Venerable Six Desires when I was tested in the dream of all living beings?" Master Shura seemed to see through Yuan Ming's thoughts.
"Junior does have doubts about this." Yuan Ming told the truth.
"There are two reasons. One is that I only have a remnant soul now. Even if I can control the restrictions of Shura Palace, it is not enough to kill Venerable Six Desires." Master Shura said.
"What's the second reason?" Yuan Ming agreed and asked.
"The second reason is related to what I am going to say to you next!" Master Shura said.
Yuan Ming waited quietly for the next part.
"You are the first to arrive here, which proves that you have a good chance and can get most of the treasures in the palace. But if you want to truly obtain the entire inheritance of Shura Palace, you need to prove your faith and strength to me!" Master Shura's expression became serious.
"What does Senior Shura mean?" Yuan Ming was puzzled.
"After I entered the Return to Void stage, I explored overseas many times. Although I died in the end, my desire to explore overseas has not diminished. If you want to inherit Shura Palace, you must swear with your Tao heart here. If you can enter the Return to Void in the future, you must take it as your responsibility to explore overseas until you die!" Master Shura said.
Yuan Ming's eyes moved. Master Shura's obsession with the overseas world was so deep that he was almost crazy.
However, he also had a great interest in the overseas world. The spiritual energy of Yunhuang Continent was limited. If he broke through the Return to Void stage in the future, even if Master Shura did not ask, he would go overseas to find a new continent.
"Junior Yuan Ming, swear with Tao heart..." Yuan Ming looked at Master Shura, without a trace of hesitation in his eyes.
After hearing Yuan Ming's oath, Master Shura nodded with satisfaction and spoke again: "As for the proof of strength, you need to help me kill someone, and that person is Venerable Liuyu!"
Yuan Ming was not surprised by this. Venerable Liuyu was the enemy of Master Shura during his lifetime. Now that he has entered the Shura Palace, Master Shura will naturally not allow him to leave alive, and it can also test the ability of the successor.
"Venerable Liuyu took away the Shura Bloodthirsty Map. Even if the senior does not ask, the junior will take this map back!" He said seriously.
"Very good, then I will explain to you in detail the Shura Palace inheritance, which is mainly divided into three parts. The first is the Shura Bloodthirsty Map, which needs to be taken back from Venerable Liuyu; the second is the 'Dream of All Living Beings', which I created with overseas runes and my lifelong efforts in the illusion array, and has many magical uses; the third is this Shura Palace cave." Master Shura said.
Yuan Ming was secretly excited when he heard this.
He already knew the magic of the Shura Blood Devouring Diagram; he also had a little experience of the power and magic of the All Living Beings Dream Divine Power when he was tested before. If he could master this magical power, he would have a powerful illusion trump card.
As for this Shura Palace Cave, the area is vast. If he can get it, it will be of great benefit to future cultivation.
"What do you think of my cave?" asked Master Shura.
"Senior's Shura Palace has opened my eyes. A mere cave contains such a vast internal space. Senior's cultivation in the formation really makes me admire him very much! It's a pity that I am not proficient in the way of formations, otherwise I would have learned this set of formations that can open up space anyway." Yuan Ming praised sincerely.
"My friend, you think too highly of me. I can barely create a small space with the power of the formation, but to open up such a vast space, it is not something that a cultivator in the Return to Void Stage can do." Master Shura shook his head and said.
"Then how did such a vast space in the Shura Palace come from?" Yuan Ming asked in surprise.
"The space of Shura Palace is derived from a treasure. I got it by chance when I went to sea for the third time. It has the magical ability to open up space. I call it Void Stone." Master Shura raised his hand, and a silver-white stone phantom the size of a human head appeared in his palm.
"This thing looks nothing special, but it can open up the void." Yuan Ming looked at the silver stone phantom and said in surprise.
"The overseas world is not only dangerous, but also has endless treasures. Many places in this Shura Palace are built with overseas spiritual materials." Master Shura said.
Yuan Ming's heart moved slightly when he heard this.
Master Shura explained the situation of Shura Palace to him, probably intentionally leading the topic to overseas to stimulate his desire to explore there.
"The Shura Stele contains the restrictions of the entire Immortal Mansion. It was refined by my unique method. It can only be refined by a special sacrifice method. The secret method is in the scroll where I am now. It is my last help to you. Whether you can kill the Six Desires Venerable and obtain the Shura Palace inheritance depends on your method." After saying this, a flame suddenly rose from the bottom of the scroll, and in the blink of an eye, the scroll was burned into nothingness. Then it immediately flowed into Yuan Ming's soul and turned into a formula.
The next moment, Yuan Ming left the pure white space and returned to the outside of the stele.
Beside him, Xiying still maintained the state just now, and seemed not to notice anything unusual.
Yuan Ming calmed down. Due to time constraints, he did not tell Xiying what had just happened, and silently browsed the extra refining secret method in his mind.
This secret method is much more complicated than the ordinary sacrifice method, but Yuan Ming is now incomparable to the past in terms of cultivation and knowledge. He quickly understood it and immediately began to refine the stele.
