Chapter 1276: Capturing Mo Rubin (7K, Monthly Ticket Requested!)
At first, Yan Fajue was a little cautious. But when she really tasted it, the expression on her face instantly became extremely wonderful. Then she swallowed it in big mouthfuls.
"Woo woo... so good... woo woo"
In no time, she ate a full plate of fried rice. After finishing, she touched her slightly swollen belly with a look of surprise on her face: "Your fried rice is just like the real thing? How did you do it?"
As she said that, Yan Fajue burped again.
Li Fan smiled and said, "When the fake is made real, the real becomes fake; when the real is made fake, the fake becomes real. How can it be so easy to distinguish the real from the fake?"
"As long as you have enough knowledge of the nature of things, you can also create something that seems very real."
Yan Fajue sat down on the ground: "I have only eaten fried rice and never made it. There are other delicacies too. It seems that there is no hope of self-sufficiency. But..."
She looked at Li Fan: "You are not a cook before..."
Li Fan's face twitched, and he avoided answering and changed the subject: "Are you full? Do you remember the fairy characters?"
Yan Fajue shook his head hurriedly: "Just one dish, it's not enough! Can you give me more!"
Li Fan snorted coldly, but still waved lightly, and the stove, cooking utensils, and ingredients appeared in front of him one after another.
As the kitchen fire jumped, one dish after another with fragrant delicacies was presented.
Yan Fajue was drooling at the sight, and he accepted all of them and stuffed them into his mouth.
"Burp..."
After a delicious meal, the little Lolita's belly was as round as a ball, and she lay on the ground in an indecent manner.
"Don't say, although you are not very good-looking, your cooking skills are really good." Yan Fajue praised.
Li Fan responded indifferently: "It's just that when I was a mortal, I relied on this skill to do some small business. It's not worth mentioning."
Yan Fajue squinted his eyes happily, savoring the taste that just lingered on the tip of his tongue.
Then he said: "Well, I'm a little sleepy, I need to take a nap. You can see for yourself."
As he said, Yan Fajue was snoring like thunder and fell asleep.
In the character light ball, the horizontal and vertical strokes moved, forming a huge character that occupied the entire sky.
The avenue of the mysterious sound that I had heard in the illusion before sounded again in a trance.
It was just intermittent, like an illusion.
Li Fan looked up at the characters, motionless. Until it slowly faded away, he showed a thoughtful expression.
"It is indeed the seal characters of the True Immortal. However, due to the loss of Yan Fajue's memory, he cannot fully understand the meaning of the seal characters of the True Immortal. Even the characters she presented have some deviations from the real seal characters of the True Immortal."
"But..."
Li Fan used his hand as a pen and tried to write in the air.
But he always paused at the key point and shook his head slightly.
"The structure of the strokes, the style of the turning, and the details of the strokes are very similar to the hunger and chaos I saw before. But it is more beautiful and more natural."
"The gap between the original and the imitation is so big."
The many seal characters of the True Immortal that Li Fan encountered before were already very perfect in his eyes, and there was no flaw to find. Every place showed the vast and sacred power of the True Immortal.
But everything is afraid of comparison.
Compared with the original work of Ming Daoxian in Yan Fajue's memory, the ones in the Dark Star Sea are as simple as children's graffiti.
But Li Fan found that this gap would only be formed when the two were presented and compared in his mind at the same time.
If Li Fan only reproduced the single words [hungry] and [chaos], he would still instinctively feel that they were flawless.
This is a very contradictory and wonderful experience.
After repeated attempts, Li Fan came to the conclusion that the seal characters of the real immortals are like a vast ocean to him. He can only be trapped in it and cannot see the whole picture. However, if there is the original work of Ming Daoxian as a comparison, it is like an immovable anchor and an eye in the sky. It allows him to shake himself out and open his eyes to see the real scene.
Following the original work of Ming Daoxian, Li Fan re-sorted the seal characters of the real immortals such as hunger and chaos that he mastered.
Sure enough, the effect is excellent, although at first glance, it still looks the same as before. However, Li Fan was very sure that the power of these True Immortal seal characters, which were improved based on the original, was at least one third larger.
"It's a pity that this copy of the Inscription of Dao is also incomplete. Moreover, it was passed from Yan Fajue's memory, so it is still a little distorted."
After a while, Li Fan woke up from his epiphany and breathed a sigh of relief.
"From the clues we have so far, the True Immortal seal characters can be divided into three categories. The first is the chaotic character formula, which will bring all kinds of disasters and destruction. The second is the return character formula, which is the decree of the immortal world. The last one is this..."
"The raindrops of characters that fall from the world can be called [Immortal Sound Jade Dew]. It is accompanied by the birth of the great Dao Xuanyin, which attracts all the True Immortals to fight for it. I'm afraid it is closer to the legendary [Inscription Dao]."
Li Fan's thoughts fluctuated, and he couldn't help but try to gesture again to repair the missing Inscription Dao characters.
The result is conceivable, it can only be futile.
"The immortal world is destroyed, where is the true trace of the immortal now?" Li Fan couldn't help but think so.
...
Just as Li Fan learned the secrets of the immortal world from Yan Fajue and gained some enlightenment, the Faceless Saint Emperor Li Ping finally completed the final blockade of the stone statue of the Faceless Immortal and the remains of the Yishi Sect.
In his perception, Mo Rubin, who had fled quickly before, had not moved again for a long time.
"What is this location?"
Li Ping pondered for a moment, but did not follow directly. Instead, he summoned the layman Qiao Gong.
"Here... it is said that the heart of the giant beast was transformed after death, and it is the place where the earth and energy of Jiu Shan Prefecture meet. I have been there once, but I didn't find anything special." Qiao Gong sensed the message from the Holy Emperor. picture, shaking his head slightly.
The location pointed by the Holy Emperor was exactly one of the swamps in Jiushan Prefecture, the home base of the Lingyuan Sect.
"It's just that the spiritual energy is thicker than other places. There's nothing special about it." Qiao Gong asserted.
"How much do you know about that [兲 beast]?" Li Ping asked again.
Qiao Gong shrugged: "If it weren't for some local monks from Jiu Shan Prefecture in my sect, I might not even know the legend that Jiu Shan is the corpse of a giant beast after its death. It turns out that thing is called a beast. I've learned a lot."
"However, if you are interested there, there is a Yuanying monk in our religion named Shen Yurou. You can summon him to ask."
Qiao Gong explained the reason to Li Ping.
It turns out that Shen Yurou's family has made a living by excavating underground objects in Jiushan for generations. In the chaotic land of Nine Mountains, countless monks have been buried since ancient times. It can even be traced back to the reign of the Ten Immortal Sects.
The Shen family has accumulated a lot of capital by relying on this craft. But after all, it was a shady business. Shen Yurou abandoned this ancestral skill after joining Lingyuan Sect.
"I seem to have heard him say before that the ancestors of the Shen family once dug a strange building near the swamp. However, it was empty except for some weird statues. After his ancestor left in annoyance, he still I got seriously ill and almost died."
Li Ping's heart moved and he flipped through the Creation Slate.
Sure enough, I found information about this Shen family ancestor. However, there is no record of the discovery of ruins in the swamp of Jiushan Prefecture.
Li Ping immediately left Daqi and came to Lingyuan Sect.
Or disguised as the leader of Lingyuan, he summoned Shen Yurou and asked for details.
Shen Yurou was a little surprised by the summons of the leader who had not been seen for a long time. He said very cautiously: "This matter is indeed a bit strange. Ever since that accidental entry, our ancestors have contracted some strange diseases."
"For example, the underground building scene often reappears in dreams, and for example..."
"Since then, all members of our Shen family have become boys and girls, and girls and boys. The yin and yang are reversed." Shen Yurou seemed to have accepted the reality and said very calmly. "
Li Ping's spiritual thoughts swept through Shen Yurou's body and found no influence from the alien power. It seems like this is how it should be.
"Do you still have reservations about the specific location of that building?" Li Ping asked.
Shen Yurou showed a look of distress on her face: "In order to prevent tribesmen from accidentally entering again, our ancestors did not tell the specific location. However, there are paintings and calligraphy left on the specific scene of the building."
As she spoke, Shen Yurou picked up her fingers, and the book was like a picture.
There is a stone statue placed in each of the four corners.
It is a headless man who makes different movements as if praying.
In the center of the four stone statues, there stands a bare column.
The surface of the cylinder is very smooth without any carvings. But the strange thing is that the shadow of the column projected on the ground seems to be a ferocious beast, with teeth and claws. It seems to come alive at any time with the light and shadow.
"According to my ancestors, in this building, there will be constant pounding and violent heartbeats in the ears. And if you look along this pillar, it will be like falling into an abyss, surrounded by endless darkness. ..." Shen Yurou added.
Li Ping stared at the four headless figures in the picture.
Even though there is no head, it can be vaguely seen that the style is very similar to the faceless immortal statue he met at the foot of Taixu Mountain.
It should undoubtedly be a product of Xuantian Sect.
"Borrow his image, but behead him."
"This cylinder..."
That smooth column is undoubtedly the core of this strange building.
But it’s impossible to tell from the picture alone.
After Li Ping asked Shen Yurou to retreat, he quietly came to the Daze of Jiushan Prefecture.
In a land with nine mountains, there is such a large-scale swamp. Theoretically, it is very unreasonable. Many monks have come here to explore, hoping to discover some secrets. But all came to nothing.
Li Ping stood in the middle of Daze, and he just felt the smell of corruption. Didn't notice anything strange.
If he hadn't clearly sensed that Mo Rubin was hiding here.
Mo Rubin probably hadn't noticed Li Ping's approach yet. Although he had been moving in a small area deep in the swamp, he never left the area.
After setting up formations around him, Li Ping dived into the swamp and slowly approached the sensing location.
"Gu..."
Suddenly, his figure suddenly stopped.
Just now, Li Ping faintly heard a squirming sound.
With his current level of cultivation, it can almost be ruled out that it is an illusion. so……
Li Ping looked around.
The thick, foul-smelling swamp sludge moved with regularity like life.
Li Ping suddenly felt as if the entire swamp had suddenly come alive.
"trap?"
This idea flashed through Li Ping's mind, but he quickly rejected it.
The swamp's attention was not on him.
The Holy Emperor continued to hide his whereabouts, following the induction in his heart, which was also the source of the swamp's life rhythm. Not long after, he found the strange building that Shen Yurou's ancestor had encountered.
From the outside, the building looked like a blank face.
And the tall smooth cylinder was located between the eyebrows of the blank face. It was like a high protruding third eye, staring at the sky from underground.
Such a strange scene made Li Ping's heart condense.
The building blocked his internal prying, and he could only rely on the mark left on Mo Rubin before to determine that the other party was indeed busy inside.
The Holy Emperor did not enter without permission, and then quietly laid a net of source essence on the periphery.
In addition, it was surrounded by many formations to completely block the place. It also called on the power of Xuanhuang Heavenly Dao to block the surrounding ground veins...
Even though so many means have been laid, for some reason, Li Ping still felt that he was not sure.
After thinking for a while, Li Ping woke up the cat on his shoulder and took something out of its stomach.
It was a treasure that could seal space obtained from the fishing pond.
The appearance of the treasure looked a bit ordinary, just a simple ring.
But the golden and white light flowing on it faintly revealed the terrifying power hidden in it.
"Binding Ring."
"It was made by exterminating the living beings in a ring world and integrating them into the world. It not only has the weight of the entire world itself, but also the weight of hundreds of millions of living beings. Once bound, even if it is me, my actions will be greatly affected."
Although the refining method can be called an absolute evil weapon, Li Ping is not a pedantic person, so there is no psychological burden when using it.
Throwing it gently, the Binding Ring flew to the top of the building with the face of nothingness. In the blink of an eye, it expanded several times and covered the entire surrounding area.
Looking at the gradually hidden golden and white ring, the Holy Emperor pondered for a moment and laid the last measure.
After everything was ready, Li Ping flew towards the inside of the building.
"You're here."
"I've been waiting for you for a long time."
As soon as he entered, he heard Mo Rubin's voice.
Li Ping looked closely and couldn't see his figure.
But the bottom of the smooth cylinder in the center of the building, the wandering shadow, looked like a human figure.
Confronting Li Ping, as if showing a sarcastic look on his face.
"I have been with Brother Xuanyuan for so long, even if I haven't entered the realm of semi-immortals, I know nothing about it. What's more, you are using the plan that was abandoned and rejected by Brother..."
"The mortal power is strong, but it is harmful and useless." Mo Rubin said sarcastically.
Li Ping knew that the mortal power in Mo Rubin's mouth was the essence of the source power condensed by the faith of the You people.
The way of taking shortcuts will definitely pay a corresponding price. But what he wants is not to ascend to immortality, but for the Xuanhuang world.
There is nothing wrong with looking for the most powerful power within the scope of what can be sought.
Ignoring Mo Rubin's words, the Saint Emperor looked at the details of the building.
"A relic of Xuantian Sect?" he asked.
Mo Rubin seemed to be waiting for something, and did not take action. He responded: "Hehehe, rather than saying it is Xuantian Sect, it is better to say that it is my personal backup."
"Brother Xuanyuan, you are too idealistic. You believe in yourself too much."
"I am different."
The shadow under the cylinder seemed to be stimulated by something, and it swam around faster and faster.
"I once had the same mentality as Brother Xuanyuan, thinking that I was born to be the protagonist, and as long as I did it, there would be no possibility of failure. But later, I was hit hard, and my cultivation was regressing every day. I also had to face those random sarcasms that I didn't care about before..."
"I understand!"
Mo Rubin's shadow suddenly surged from the ground, floating in the air, looking at Li Ping viciously.
"I'm not a protagonist. I'm just an insignificant little person in the long river of history. A little person naturally has to pave the way for failure. So I built this place without telling Brother Xuanyuan!"
Mo Rubin showed his shadowy arms, pointed at the four headless stone statues around him, and said with a sinister smile: "Look at these stone statues."
"That's an out-and-out True Immortal, and he saved Brother Xuanyuan's life. People in the church, including Brother Xuanyuan himself, all admire him. Didn't I chop off his head?!"
Mo Rubin's crazy laughter resounded throughout the secret room.
Li Ping said calmly: "Aren't you afraid of the revenge of the True Immortal?"
Mo Rubin laughed even harder: "You don't understand at all. Let alone chopping off my head, even if I peed and shit on His statue, the True Immortal wouldn't care!"
"How can the mundane things be in the eyes of the True Immortal?! Immortal..."
"Only care about what they care about!"
Li Ping just listened silently, without agreeing or refuting.
"I know that the power of immortals is like the presence of real immortals. But even real immortals do not have infinite power. How could they waste their power on this small statue?"
After laughing, Mo Rubin slowly regained his composure: "Unless..."
"Something that the real immortals care about appears around the statue."
Before he finished speaking, the shadow that Mo Rubin transformed into shrank back into the smooth cylinder.
The building ground shook slightly, and the cylinder began to emit a faint luster, as if something was being nurtured in it.
"I don't know who you are. But I'll give you a piece of advice..."
Mo Rubin's voice came from the cylinder, and it seemed to have passed through the layers of obstacles and became unclear.
"Don't enter the True Immortal Realm unless it is absolutely necessary!"
Li Ping felt that the four faceless statues around him seemed to be alive.
Even if their heads were cut off, they could still look at the scene.
But their eyes were not on Li Ping.
Instead, they were all focused on the brilliant cylinder.
Logically speaking, even if it was not the True Immortal's great power coming in person, but just the sight transmitted across countless time and space, it should be difficult for ordinary cultivators to bear.
But the Faceless Saint Emperor in the four statues did not feel any pressure.
"The power was extracted and absorbed?"
Li Ping's heart was slightly shaken.
In his eyes, four forces of the same nature were entangled into lines, all surrounding the smooth cylinder, one circle after another.
Inspired by this great power, the light of the cylinder became more and more dazzling.
The surface seemed to be melted, revealing the true face inside.
"This is..."
A bare flagpole.
The flag had long disappeared, leaving only the white jade pole with intricate patterns carved on it.
"Things from the fairy world."
Feeling the increasingly violent energy fluctuations around him, Li Ping stepped back a little, but his sight was always firmly locked on the white jade flagpole.
"Not only is it the gaze of the True Immortal statue, but even the essence of the source power I arranged outside, that is, the mortal immortal power, is faintly mobilized by this flagpole..."
At this time, Mo Rubin's voice sounded again: "When Brother Xuanyuan returned from the fairy world, he really brought back a lot of good things."
"Not to mention those skills, even the immortal tools can be picked up anywhere..."
"It's a pity that they are said to be contaminated by disasters, and most of them are sealed and not allowed to be used by us."
The energy formed a substantial vortex around the flag.
In the constant tremor, the flagpole seemed to be able to break through the air at any time.
"Okay, I haven't talked to anyone for many years. I finally feel comfortable after saying so much in one breath."
"We'll meet again when we have a chance in the future."
"I'm going to do some serious work."
Mo Rubin's words slowly faded away.
The brilliant light burst out from the flagpole, blocking all the prying eyes around.
The next moment, the spirit flag was about to escape from here.
But Li Ping had been tracking for so long, so it was impossible for him to let him go just because of Mo Rubin's words.
The formation and the net of source essence burst open.
Golden interwoven threads appeared from the void. The airtight net blocked the flagpole.
Even the space was completely blocked.
"The mortal immortal power dares to compete with the real immortal power?!"
Mo Rubin's sarcastic voice came.
At the front end of the white jade flagpole, under the blazing light, the golden source power actually melted slowly like snow.
Li Ping was unmoved, and while calling the remaining source essence to fly into the fire, he launched the formation to intercept.
"Mundane formations, are you worthy of..."
"Huh?!"
For the first time, Mo Rubin sounded surprised.
Because the formations that Li Ping had used were far beyond his cognition.
He even slowly pulled back the white jade flagpole that was about to pierce the void.
In Mo Rubin's perception, the surroundings seemed to be filled with blocking media, blocking the flagpole from moving forward.
"Has the formation of the Xuanhuang Realm developed to this extent?"
"The level of sophistication is not inferior to the floating star formation!"
Although he was shocked, Mo Rubin did not slow down his momentum to leave.
A ray of white light burst out on the flagpole again.
The white light passed, and all the obstacles in front were completely eliminated.
The flagpole easily broke free from the heavy obstacles.
And Mo Rubin did not know why, and he did not say any mocking words.
He just wanted to leave in silence.
"Command!"
At this moment, Li Ping's cold voice sounded.
The air-binding ring appeared in the void.
Lock the white jade flagpole tightly.
"Useless! Useless! Useless! It's just a boundary device!"
"Damn it! You are like a fly, so annoying!"
Mo Rubin's tone was obviously different from before.
He kept talking and even a little crazy.
For the first time, something other than white light appeared in the white jade flagpole.
It was a human outline.
The figure held a long knife and flew out gracefully, slashing at the air-binding ring.
Ding!
The golden and white ring containing billions of lives and the entire world of immortal cultivation broke from it!
However, releasing the white figure obviously consumed a lot of the white jade flagpole.
The light became much dimmer.
"Damn it, damn it, damn it..."
Mo Rubin's vicious curse echoed.
But he did not stay to find trouble with Li Ping.
Instead, he continued to go to the designated location very resolutely.
"I've already said that you can't stop me!"
In the flashing light, the white jade flagpole turned into a thin line, breaking free from all restraints and about to leave.
At this moment, the ancient song suddenly sounded.
The voice was not loud, but it overwhelmed the vibration of Mo Rubin and the white jade flagpole.
A dark door quietly opened on the road ahead of the white jade flagpole.
And Li Ping, who had not taken action himself, also flashed at this moment and came to the end of the white jade flagpole.
The golden armor protected his body, and behind the Holy Emperor, the shadow of the Xuanhuang Realm also emerged.
"Go in!"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Li Ping kicked hard at the end of the white jade flagpole.
This caused the flagpole, which had been eager to leave, to suddenly rush forward.
There was no time to dodge, and he flew straight into the dark door.
Li Ping also flew in immediately.
Close the channel by the way.
He also did not forget to bring along the few loyal You clan members who risked their lives to arrange the ceremony and open the way to the Sea of Darkness.
In the dark sea.
There was pitch black silence.
Even in the outside world, like the bright white jade flagpole of the sun, it can only illuminate a small and limited area around it here.
And Mo Rubin, who had always been very noisy, seemed to be mute at this moment.
Silent for a long while.
"Wait, this is..."
"here……"
After a long time, he finally spoke blankly.
"Now, we can talk."
The brilliance of the white jade flagpole slightly dissipated the darkness of the sea of darkness.
This allowed Li Ping and Mo Rubin to temporarily use language to communicate.
Mo Rubin seemed to have not heard Li Ping's words at all.
He emerged from the white jade flagpole and looked around in an unimaginable way.
The look on his face was one of anticipation and fear.
"Is there the aura of King Xuantian here?"
After a brief silence, Li Ping asked aloud.
The three words Xuantian Wang were like triggering some kind of switch.
Mo Rubin suddenly came back to his senses.
He stared at Li Fan: "How do you know this place?"
"And, can you also open the passage here?"
Mo Rubin's tone was very dangerous, as if Li Ping would fight to death if his answer was even slightly wrong.
"Nearly ten thousand years have passed since you fell asleep. Nothing can happen."
Li Ping's attitude was very indifferent.
"It's not just me, even the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance, the largest organization for cultivating immortals today, has mastered the means to open up the passage here."
"And, stealing power here."
"Don't you feel it?"
Li Ping asked.
As soon as he said this, Mo Rubin's expression changed again.
He looked into the distance, and the aura on his body fluctuated violently.
"How dare they?!"
"Deserve to kill! Kill!"
Mo Rubin said angrily.
