Chapter 1278: Destroy the World to Make a Living (7K, Please Subscribe and Vote)

"I'm just afraid that the remains of the true immortal will come back to life."

As Mo Rubin said these words, I don't know if it was Li Ping's illusion, but the depths of the dark sea seemed to be really colder.

It seemed as if some unknown existence suddenly stared at him, and a chill suddenly arose in his heart.

The Holy Emperor looked around solemnly, but did not find anyone peeping secretly.

Looking at the body of Daoist Sect Fang Dingge again, Li Ping asked: "Having become like this, can you still live again?"

Of course, what Li Ping asked was not Fang Dingge, but the true immortal whose immortal body transformed into the sea of ​​darkness and whose thoughts transformed into the realm of fallen immortals.

Mo Rubin also looked at the corpse not far away and said softly: "Let me tell you a story."

"Our Jiu Lian Temple once enshrined a stone statue of the Patriarch. It is said that it was built by the Jiu Lian Patriarch, Master Miaofa himself."

"This stone statue has been worshiped for thousands of years. If the disciples in the temple have any doubts on the path of spiritual practice, as long as they sincerely pray to it, most of them will get a response. Therefore, the incense has continued for so many years."

"Then one day, calamity clouds suddenly enveloped the sky above Jiulian Temple, and divine thunder struck down, but the target was the stone elephant of the ancestor! A human figure broke through the stone elephant and rushed straight into the nine heavens! This man's strength is terrifying , the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, which could instantly kill Hedao, could not do anything to him. He laughed endlessly in the lightning, and was about to survive the thunder tribulation and fly away..."

When Mo Rubin reached the key point, he paused again.

After waiting for a long time, he couldn't wait for the Holy Emperor to urge him, so he had to hold his breath and continue talking: "The fragments of the stone statue of the ancestor that were scattered on the ground unexpectedly gathered together again quietly. They approached the person who was overcoming the tribulation. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he swallowed him back into the stone statue!"

"Now, no matter how hard the figure struggles, it can no longer escape from the stone statue. And the stone statue also flies up through the air together with the figure!"

After hearing this somewhat mysterious story, Li Ping couldn't help but frown slightly.

Mo Rubin asked: "Guess, among the two people who ascended together, who is our Nine Refining Temple Patriarch?"

Li Ping pondered for a while and replied: "The figure in the stone statue needs to face the catastrophe of ascension. Should he be the one? He failed to ascend during his lifetime, and he was worshiped by his disciples in the form of a stone elephant. He saved up for thousands of years and tried to ascend..."

Mo Rubin smiled slightly: "Wrong!"

"The founder of Jiu Lian Guan, Master Miao Fa, has a clear record of ascending to immortality in full view of the public. However, only the past masters of Jiu Lian Guan know that Master Miao Fa's first steps after entering the immortal world Two years later, I don’t know why he died!”

Li Ping was stunned when he heard this.

Mo Rubin continued with satisfaction: "However, the stone statue that he made with his own hands has a backup plan left by him. Even if the soul is destroyed in the upper world, he can still be reborn with the help of this stone statue!"

Li Ping frowned again: "Who is the figure in the stone statue?"

Mo Rubin chuckled: "He is the third generation leader of our Jiulian Temple. This person did not follow the instructions of the ancestor and wanted to establish new sect rules. After an internal fight, he was seriously injured and failed. He has disappeared since then. Unexpectedly, he has been missing all this time. Hidden inside the stone statue of the Patriarch, he actually practiced to the realm of ascension in one breath."

"But I still made someone else's wedding clothes in vain."

"Master Miaofa, he ascended to immortality in just one year and has no real background. He was able to be reborn through the stone elephant. Not to mention the true immortal."

"Look at this sea of ​​darkness, and you can imagine how powerful He was during his lifetime. To put it bluntly, don't use our monks' eyes to speculate on [Immortal]'s methods. It's really a world of difference!"

Perhaps because they had communicated with each other for a period of time, Mo Rubin's mood became much more stable, and he spoke out from his feelings.

Li Ping remained silent.

He felt that the relationship between Master Miaofa's rebirth with the help of stone statues and the third generation head of Jiulian Temple was still untrue.

But it is an ancient secret after all, and now is not the time to go deep into dangerous places.

"Then do we still want to go deeper? The way Fang Dingge died tragically is not something ordinary monks can do." Li Ping changed the subject.

"Go in and take a look first. If the true immortal has been resurrected, he will definitely not be able to stay where he is after so many years." Mo Rubin said, bypassing Fang Dingge's remains and continuing to dive into the darkness.

Passing through three formation passes, some originally belonged to the Soul Gathering and Immortal Formation, and some were set up by latecomers.

With the joint efforts of Li Ping and Mo Rubin, after a lot of effort, they finally reached the control center of the Spirit Gathering and Immortal Formation.

Along the way, no bones of the other four deceased immortals were found.

The control center is clearly in the deepest part of the darkness, but it is like a transparent observation tower.

Through the array-restricted entity that surrounds this place like a panoramic glass, Li Ping and Mo Rubin were able to see the entire sea of ​​darkness clearly.

Even though it has been magnified an unknown number of times, one can still clearly see the outline of the Dark Sea that resembles the appearance of a human being.

It was obvious that this was not the first time for Mo Rubin to come here. He was not distracted by the magnificent sight in front of him, but came to the center of the observation tower.

Slight discoloration.

"One good news and one bad news. Which one do you want to hear first?" Mo Rubin asked.

After Li Ping was silent for a moment, he still responded: "Let's tell you the good news first."

"The good news is that the fallen true immortal was not reborn with the help of his remains." Mo Rubin said in a faint tone.

"What about the bad news?"

Mo Rubin sneered: "You'll know after you take a look."

Li Ping walked slowly to where Mo Rubin was.

The scene in front of him suddenly changed, and the high observation tower seemed to be falling rapidly in an instant.

The scene of the dark sea below quickly approached and continued to expand.

It suddenly rushed into his eyes and reached the depths of his soul.

Boom!

The surrounding scene changed, as if he had left the dark sea and came to a new unknown place.

"Don't move."

Mo Rubin's voice sounded in his heart, and Li Ping felt a little relieved and looked around.

He saw the other four immortals who fell.

They maintained the posture of the last moment before their death, but unlike Fang Dingge, their faces were covered with a layer of dust, and their specific appearance could no longer be seen.

One could only vaguely see the terrifying power that they tried their best to stop and swallowed them when they were alive.

Li Ping tried to find the culprit who caused the fall of these five immortals.

The gray vine material that stretched out from the feet of the four immortal bodies, spread and entangled together, attracted Li Ping's attention.

In Li Ping's observation, these gray vines are absolutely dead things without life breath, just pure energy aggregation.

But for some reason, when facing them, Li Ping felt like he was being stared at by a poisonous snake.

"What is this?" Li Ping asked without any psychological barriers.

"This is [the will to survive]. The will to survive of the remains of the True Immortal."

Mo Rubin took a long time before slowly answering Li Ping's question.

"The will to survive?" Li Ping carefully savored the meaning of these four words.

"The True Immortal cannot be discussed in theory. When Brother Xuanyuan was transforming the remains of the True Immortal, he had concerns in this regard. In order to prevent Him from resurrecting from the dead, many additional arrangements were made. But I didn't expect..."

Although Li Ping couldn't see Mo Rubin's figure, he could sense that he was staring at the gray [will to survive] all over here.

"According to common sense, it is impossible for the remains of the True Immortal, which has become the dark sea, to have such a strong desire to survive."

Hearing what Mo Rubin said, Li Ping was also thoughtful: "Unless someone deliberately triggered it."

"Yes. This person is not simple." Mo Rubin commented.

"First, it is not simple to be able to break the restrictions left by Brother Xuanyuan, and second, it is not simple to be able to trigger the thoughts of the remains of the True Immortal. Third, after triggering the desire to survive, he can still escape unscathed... Incredible." Mo Rubin praised without any praise.

"Don't underestimate these things. Even if you and I are accidentally targeted by them, I'm afraid we can't escape death. We can only end up like these five empty shells."

Li Ping frowned slightly. He was still somewhat confident in his own strength.

Mo Rubin did not argue with Li Ping, but continued to explain quietly: "The will to live of the person who was originally dead was rekindled. It was like grabbing the last straw, and the power suddenly burst out..."

"Instinctively devouring all the lives that can be touched around and transforming them into the food for its own resurrection. Only those with the strength of Brother Xuanyuan can barely resist. Although you and I look strong, there is still a big gap."

Li Ping was silent.

Mo Rubin continued: "Fortunately, the person who triggered it did not destroy Brother Xuanyuan's arrangement. After sucking these four immortals dry, this [will to live] can no longer find an object to absorb, so it fell into death again."

"If it escapes from the dark sea..."

"I'm afraid the entire Xuanhuang world will become its meal."

Li Ping suddenly became extremely solemn.

"But then again, Brother Xuanyuan's methods are not so easy to crack. The person who caused it, that is, the one you said was the one who passed on the method, did not directly destroy the restrictions of the Dark Sea. He did not even change it, and added his own methods."

"But... he has mastered the array control magic weapon and knows the restrictions here very well, so he can make progress smoothly." Mo Rubin seemed to have thought of something, and the condensed aura suddenly became unstable.

"Let's work first." Just when Li Ping was worried that Mo Rubin would become crazy and out of control, Mo Rubin calmed down in an instant.

A large amount of information was transmitted into Li Ping's mind.

"Is this... the Gathering Spirit Ascension Array?" Li Ping saw the mystery at a glance.

"Strictly speaking, it is a spirit gathering and immortality formation modified by Brother Xuanyuan. The original version of the immortality formation was created by a great demon cultivator. Hehe, this one is a truly peerless evil demon. He was born in a humble family, and his own cultivation qualifications are not enough. He has reached the limit of the golden elixir. However, he created this evil formation. As long as the formation covers it, everything in it will be refined into the purest energy."

"He started with the mortal world, from weak to strong, and I don't know how many worlds he exterminated before finally ascending to the fairyland. After he came to the fairyland, the first thing he did was to improve the formation and thought about using the same trick again in the fairyland. Humph, even such a person died like a fly in the catastrophe of the fairyland. All the treasures accumulated throughout his life were given to Brother Xuanyuan. But Brother Xuanyuan despised his inheritance..." Mo Rubin said with a sneer.

"How can someone so violent and cruel achieve enlightenment and become an immortal? The immortal tribulation in his world is different from that in the Xuanhuang Realm?" Li Ping asked with a frown.

Because in Li Ping's memory, in the Xuanhuang Realm, the difficulty of the heavenly tribulation that a murderer like this had to face when overcoming the tribulation was dozens of times more than usual. There is no possibility of successfully overcoming the tribulation. Hence the question.

"No matter how powerful the Heavenly Tribulation is, there is a limit in the lower realm. As long as it is stronger than it, it will be fine. What's more, there is no final conclusion about good and evil..."

Li Ping could clearly feel that Mo Rubin fell into a state of confusion again as he spoke.

"What do you need me to do?" Li Ping diverted Mo Rubin's attention at the right time.

"Your formation skills should not be much weaker than that of Brother Xuanyuan. The control center of the Soul Gathering and Immortal Ascension Formation here cannot be moved rashly. If possible, strengthen another layer of formations and press this place towards the interior of the Sea of ​​Darkness. Press. Then, cut off the connection between the array control weapon in the hands of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance and the great array," said Mo Rubin, who came back to his senses.

Li Ping nodded, observing the details of the formations around him, and comparing them with the Ascension Formation diagrams that came to his mind.

"As expected of King Xuantian, he can be called the most amazing person in the Xuanhuang Realm for thousands of years."

As both formation masters, Li Ping couldn't help but feel a sympathy for each other after feeling the wonderfulness of the formation here.

The essence of the source of power from the prayers of the You tribe was condensed in the depths of the formation after being absorbed and transformed by the Sea of ​​Darkness, the remains of the True Immortal.

It seemed to be just irregular accumulation, but Li Ping could vaguely see that through some means, these powers that could compete with the true immortals could be exploded in an instant.

Promote the Xuanhuang Realm and escape from the control of the True Immortal of Immortal Ruins.

"It's amazing to harness the power of a true immortal with an ordinary formation."

Li Ping did not find the shadow of the original formation of the Xuanhuang Realm inside the formation of the Sea of ​​Darkness. The formation here should have been created by King Xuantian alone. Even the fallen true immortal is enough to illustrate Xuanyuan Hong's transcendent formation attainments.

"To strengthen the formation, we need some materials to assist..." Li Ping said thoughtfully after observing for a while.

"I have it here." Mo Rubin said immediately.

It seemed that he had been prepared for it. When the two of them returned to the center of the formation from the hiding place of "The Will to Survive", he took out a pile of materials.

Li Ping clicked lightly, and found out that they were all needed to strengthen the formation.

"Don't look at me like that. I borrowed your face."

"As the Dharma King of Xuantian Sect, even if I run for my life in a hurry, it is normal for me to carry supplies with me that can make a comeback, right?"

"Speaking of which, why are you also faceless? Could it be that you have something to do with the true immortal who saved Brother Xuanyuan? I'm a coward, so don't scare me..."

Li Ping ignored Mo Rubin's crazy words and began to concentrate on setting up the formation.

With King Xuantian's mistakes as a reference, Li Ping only needs to follow the example. It's not difficult for him.

As the formation slowly took shape, the "observation tower" they were on seemed to be getting higher and higher.

Mo Rubin nodded with great satisfaction, and after Li Ping finished, he took out a pile of materials.

"Deeper it. Completely suppress the true immortal [meaning of survival] deep in the dark sea."

Li Ping also agreed with this. No complaints, just keep working.

After all the materials were consumed, the scene of the Sea of ​​Darkness in the field of vision was only half the size of what it was originally seen.

"In this case, it should be safe enough. If no one disturbs you maliciously." Mo Rubin stood beside Li Ping, looking at the sea of ​​darkness below, and said softly.

"It's a matter of Xuanhuang's safety, so it's better to be cautious. I want to set up another protective formation here." This was not a request for Mo Rubin's opinion, but a notice that a decision had been made.

Mo Rubin shrugged: "It's up to you. After so many years, no one else has come to this ghost place except us. Who are you guarding against when you set up your formation? What if the will to survive really breaks out of the cage? , your formation is simply not enough."

Li Ping ignored Mo Rubin's sarcasm, and added the strongest blockade formation he could deploy here very seriously.

"Okay, the next step is to cut off the hand extended by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance." Mo Rubin urged after Li Ping finished.

"The power of darkness that has been extracted now is limited. If the sea of ​​darkness shrinks to a certain extent, maybe [The Will of Survival] will be able to sense the vibrant Xuanhuang Realm outside. The scene at that time is really unimaginable."

When Li Ping was reinforcing the formation here, he noticed that there were two intermittent thin lines extending out from the center of the formation.

Don't know where it leads.

"Both array-control magic weapons, all of them cut off contact with the center?" Li Ping looked at Mo Rubin.

"The other one is probably dead. Just cut it off." Mo Rubin was silent for a while and nodded.

Li Ping immediately transformed the battle center.

It went very smoothly. The Spirit Gathering and Immortal Ascension Formation let out a soft groan and then seemed to restart.

It got a little darker at first, and then became brighter again.

Li Ping stood at the center of the formation, sensing the opening in the Sea of ​​Darkness that had been cut by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

boom! boom!

The clouds rolled and rolled up waves of invisible waves. Sweeping up the "clouds" floating in the sea of ​​darkness, they are getting bigger and bigger. By the time it reached the open sore, it had turned into a huge wave.

It suddenly hit the device of the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance.

Dozens of diligent Immortal Alliance monks who were supervising the extraction of the power of darkness were swallowed up quietly.

Evaporated.

And in the violent shock, the crack also closed.

Faced with drastic changes, the Ten Thousand Immortals League did not want to give up. In the crack that was about to close, the eye-controlling array magic weapon appeared again.

The golden abacus fluctuated rapidly, trying to turn the tide.

However, this time, it no longer had any effect. They could only watch the crack in the dark sea heal.

The dust settled.

Li Ping and Mo Rubin both looked at this scene, speechless.

Although it took a lot of twists and turns, the purpose of cutting off the Ten Thousand Immortals League from extracting the dark power was finally achieved. And he also knew many secrets of the Xuantian Sect in ancient times.

Li Ping's heart was peaceful, and he felt that the connection between him and the Xuanhuang Tiandao was getting closer and closer.

However, he also knew very well in his heart that he could mobilize the power of the Soul Gathering Ascension Array so easily, in addition to his own formation attainments. More importantly, it relied on Mo Rubin's help.

Without the formation diagram he transmitted, it would not be possible to break the restrictions left by King Xuantian in a short time.

And more importantly, the demon face that Mo Rubin differentiated and attached to his face.

It is precisely because of this face that he can move freely in the deepest part of the dark sea. Even when changing the key structure of the formation, he was not attacked or backfired by the formation.

In a sense, Mo Rubin's face is much higher than the authority of the two eyes to control the formation magic weapon.

"What was your strength among the twelve Dharma Kings of Xuantian Sect?" Li Ping suddenly asked.

Mo Rubin was stunned.

Then he sneered: "To be honest, my strength is the worst among the twelve people. Although you can barely beat me, you can't beat others."

Li Ping naturally didn't believe it.

Mo Rubin snorted coldly: "In our era, there were many talented people. There were countless peerless geniuses, like a stream of fish crossing the river. It was an undisputed era of cultivating immortals!"

"If the immortal road had not been cut off suddenly, it would not be impossible for a large number of ascenders to appear in a short period of time."

Li Ping was silent.

In the records of the creation stone tablet, since all the relevant information of the people who ascended to become immortals was erased, he had no way to judge the truth of Mo Rubin's words.

However, judging from the various performances of the twelve Dharma Kings before joining the Xuantian Sect, Mo Rubin's words may be a bit exaggerated, but they are in line with certain facts.

"You are all so strong, how did the ten sects of the immortal way win back then?"

"Even if there is no Xuantian King, the ten sects of the immortal way will find it difficult to win if the twelve of you join forces?" Li Ping asked this question that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.

"Humph." Mo Rubin snorted coldly.

After a long silence, he said vaguely: "Anyway, I lost, and I won't deny it. The people from the Ten Sects of Immortal Dao are not clean eaters."

"And..."

Mo Rubin's tone suddenly became extremely cold.

"Someone turned the fake into real and suddenly defected. We didn't know who the traitor was, so none of us dared to trust him. In addition, Brother Xuanyuan disappeared inexplicably..."

"Everyone claimed that their talent was no less than Xuanyuan Hong's, but they were just unlucky and failed to ascend at the right time. When the real thing came, they found that without Brother Xuanyuan leading them, they were just a mob."

"On the other hand, the ten sects of the immortal way really fought hard, because they knew that if things didn't work out, what awaited them was death."

"..."

Mo Rubin suddenly laughed: "But I am relieved now. As the saying goes, good things come back to good things. Didn't the ten sects of the immortal way also get destroyed by the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance next? Hahaha! Good death!"

"You did a good job, Xuanhuangjie!"

Mo Rubin patted Li Ping on the shoulder and praised.

"In fact, the core figures of the ten sects of the immortal way are probably still alive and well." Li Ping said suddenly.

"It's just that they stay away from the world and don't show up in the world."

Mo Rubin grabbed Li Ping's shoulder and exerted force suddenly.

"Hmph, hmph..." After suddenly learning the news, Mo Rubin not only did not get angry, but gradually laughed wildly.

"So he's not dead? It's better if he's not dead."

"In this way, I can take revenge with my own hands. After so many years, they shouldn't be as united as they were back then."

Mo Rubin flashed away from Li Ping, and his figure suddenly became much darker.

"It's time to go."

"I was originally going to find Brother Xuanyuan, but by some mistake, I didn't expect to come here first. But it's okay, at least I have ruled out a wrong answer first."

Li Ping felt that the demon face on his blank face was about to leave.

The surrounding darkness invaded uncontrollably.

A whisper from the depths of the soul sounded, corroding Li Ping's consciousness.

Knowing that it was not a place to stay for a long time, Li Ping followed Mo Rubin and returned from the deepest part of the dark sea.

"Speaking of which, where was your original destination? You actually need to use the fairy flag?" Li Ping asked.

Mo Rubin remained silent.

When passing by the empty body of Fang Dingge, the head of the Da Dao Sect, he suddenly said to Li Ping: "Go and search him, maybe you can pick up some treasures."

Li Ping looked at Mo Rubin.

Mo Rubin rolled his eyes at Li Ping: "This man was able to resist the desire to survive and escape all the way here before dying, which is enough to show his strength. There must be good things on the masters. This is what Brother Xuanyuan taught me."

"Moreover, if there are any relics on him that can be preserved under the erosion of the True Immortal's desire to survive, they must be extraordinary treasures. Don't you really want to give it a try?" Mo Rubin bewitched.

Li Ping looked at it again, and finally shook his head slightly.

"The dead are gone, let him rest here. There are so many treasures in the world, do you have to plunder them all? Greed is not self-contained, and the heart is ignorant, and it will suffer disasters."

"You are really stupid." Mo Rubin sneered.

However, he did not plunder Fang Dingge's body, but just let him lie quietly in the same place.

After a long journey, the two returned to the place where they came from.

The white jade flagpole was still inserted in the same place.

It was just eroded by the dark power, and the range of the radiance was a full circle smaller than before.

"It is worthy of being a second-hand product that has been reforged. It is really a waste." Mo Rubin criticized unceremoniously.

"Since you've messed with me like this, I'm going to look for the other arrangements I left behind. I don't know if they're still there after all these years. If not, I'll come and trouble you again!" Mo Rubin looked at Li Ping and said coldly.

Li Ping summoned the You people and reopened the door to the outside world.

"I can help you find the Xuantian King."

"I need his help." Li Ping said very sincerely.

Mo Rubin flew into the passage first, laughing: "You don't think that I will completely trust you after taking a trip to the Dark Sea with me?"

"Which of the other eleven brothers and sisters didn't live and die together?"

"The facts tell me that no one can be trusted!"

Mo Rubin's extremely cold voice gradually became lighter.

When Li Ping returned to Jiushanzhou, he could no longer find Mo Rubin's trace.

But the Holy Emperor did not chase him again.

This Xuantian Sect Dharma King was not his enemy.
