Chapter 1280 Lan Yu Tiandu Secret (7K)
Guan Xingxiu talked eloquently in the flying boat. He was a little awkward at first, but he became more and more confident as he spoke. It was as if what he realized was the natural law of the sea of stars.
"The law of the sea of stars can almost be regarded as a superior substitute for the law of Xuanhuang. So the key to our breakthrough is to find the corresponding [the way of the sea of stars] in this dead sea of stars. I believe that you can achieve the unity of the way, and your aptitude must not be too weak. As long as you get rid of your fear of the sea of stars and hold a normal mind, just like when you were in the Xuanhuang world, you can calmly comprehend. I believe that it will not be too difficult to do this."
Guan Xingxiu described in detail how he sensed his way of the sea of stars. When he was excited, a panicked voice suddenly interrupted him.
It was Zimu among the survivors: "Old Guan, what if... I mean, what if the way I practiced no longer exists in the sea of stars? What should I do?"
Zimu stared at Guan Xingxiu closely: "Does it mean that the road ahead is cut off and I can't go any further?"
Guan Xingxiu was silent.
The other Hedaos at the scene also had different expressions after hearing this.
Some looked pale, and some were extremely happy.
Because they also discovered that perhaps due to the various disasters that destroyed the fairy world in the past, the laws of the sea of stars were broken and incomplete.
It was not that they were not qualified enough and could not sense the way of the sea of stars.
But this way had disappeared in the sea of stars.
"Perhaps, you can try to sense other laws. After all, the paths of the world are the same." Seeing that some despair began to spread, Guan Xingxiu thought for a moment and hurriedly suggested.
But he was ruthlessly refuted: "If it is under the Hedao, if it is a cultivator from other worlds, maybe it can be done. But we, the Xuanhuang Hedao, have all swallowed the soul of heaven and earth, and our bodies and laws are one. Humph, how easy is it to change to other paths?"
"In this case, who among us may have the highest achievement, I am afraid it must be Brother Lanyu." The Hedao named Qingshuang suddenly said something inexplicably.
The flying boat fell into silence, and everyone's eyes were all focused on Lan Yu.
And Lan Yu himself did not refute this point.
There was no other reason, because among all the people who combined the Dao at the scene, or in the entire Xuanhuang Realm, only he was the most special.
He was the only ancient method that combined the Dao.
Not bound to the principles of the Xuanhuang Heaven and Earth, it means that in this sea of dead stars, Lan Yu can use any law to realize the Dao and break through.
"I said, Brother Lan Yu, you haven't shown any signs of breakthrough yet. Isn't it because there are too many choices and you are dazzled?"
"Congratulations in advance, Fellow Daoist Lan!"
"Hey! New method! Hey! Tianzun!"
For a while, everyone reacted differently.
Lan Yu's face was serious, just perfunctory. But in his heart, he was really puzzled.
Because he did not sense the Dao of the sea of stars in the void.
"Could it be that my aptitude is so poor? Or is it that I am too old and have lost my spirituality?"
Lan Yu was a little dazed for a while.
"Oh, I seem to remember it."
"I, Wu Fuqiu, don't seem to have much talent."
Lan Yu was slightly stunned, and his thoughts seemed to return to his youth.
At that time, the immortal way was prosperous and the ten sects were standing. He was just one of the countless ordinary cultivators under the rule of the ten sects. He had mediocre talent and no adventures. Originally, the Jindan realm should have been his limit.
But that day, a moment of curiosity completely changed his fate.
"My fellow Taoist, there is such a big battle ahead, what happened?" Wu Fuqiu looked at the blocked air road ahead and the flying boats of different styles and the size of cities flying over his head one after another, and couldn't help asking curiously.
"Hush, keep your voice down. If you disturb the Ten Sects' [Teacher Respect Ceremony], you may die without knowing how."
The silence and awe-filled eyes of others made Wu Fuqiu more curious.
After a full half day, the huge parade fleet of the Ten Sects finally passed, and the air road was restored to traffic.
Wu Fuqiu, however, looked at the direction where the ten sects left, unwilling to leave for a long time.
After some inquiries, he learned that the so-called [Teacher Respect Ceremony] was a grand ceremony held every hundred years by the ten sects of the immortal way to express gratitude to the great master of Tiandu for bestowing the Dharma. All the important figures of the ten sects would attend.
Wu Fuqiu didn't know who the great master of Tiandu was.
But the great reputation of the ten sects of the immortal way that ruled the world of cultivation was well known to him, even though he, Wu Fuqiu, was a casual cultivator in the wilderness.
"The ten sects are already so great, how powerful is the great master who bestowed the Dharma to the ten sects?"
"If I am lucky enough to be appreciated by him..."
Wu Fuqiu was shocked. At the same time, unprecedented ambitions suddenly arose in his heart.
After thinking it over again and again, he was unable to get rid of the evil thoughts that entangled his heart.
Heading towards the legendary Tiandu.
After going through so much hardship to get outside Tiandu, his full of hope turned into bubbles in an instant.
There was no trace of Tiandu, only a Yuandao Palace standing in the mountains, looming in the clouds.
At the foot of the mountain, there were many young monks like him who came here with a little fantasy to seek adventure.
Wu Fuqiu was confused.
He knew Tiandu was the palace of the great master. What was this Yuandao Palace?
"You don't even know about Daoyuan Palace? Where did you come from, you country bumpkin! The source of all laws, the head of all ways. Even if you are a direct descendant of the ten sects of the immortal way, you have to line up here!"
"Think about it carefully! Who is the Archmage? Can ordinary people like you see it easily? If you want to see the face of the Archmage, you must first enter the Yuandao Palace and pray devoutly. If you can enter the eyes of the Archmage, , I will lead you to Tiandu.”
"What, you want to go in too? It's easy to say, if you pay a thousand high-grade spiritual stones, you can go there and queue up!"
Wu Fuqiu was devastated and was squeezed out by the swarming newcomers.
One thousand high-grade spiritual stones are enough to buy a good Nascent Soul technique. If he could have so many spiritual stones, why would he need to come all the way here to ask for a chance?
Although he was short of money, Wu Fuqiu did not intend to leave just like that.
Because he found that there were many people like him who could not afford to go up the mountain.
Wu Fuqiu spent half a month getting acquainted with them and got an important piece of news.
The so-called Yuandao Palace was only built by the Ten Sects later. It has no actual relationship with the real Tiandu.
The real land of origin refers to such a large area below Tiandu. It's just that a large part of the ten sects circled and built the Yuandao Palace.
But it was not done completely, and a place at the foot of the mountain was left.
"The Archmage hasn't shown up for I don't know how many years. I say it's easier to catch the Archmage's eyes on the mountain, but I'm actually just asking for comfort."
"Yes, the Archmage hangs high in the sky. In his eyes, there is no difference between the mountain and the foot of the mountain."
Curling up and squatting on the ground, Wu Fuqiu also settled at the foot of Daoyuan Palace Mountain while everyone was talking.
This stay lasted for twenty years.
Some are new and some are leaving. Some people died out of regret, while others were beaten to death because they harbored resentment and cursed the great mage.
Wu Fuqiu also grew from a young man to a middle-aged man.
He didn't know what it was that kept him here.
Perhaps for a mediocre person like him, it would be the same wherever he goes.
During these years, while he was squatting, he did not neglect his practice. But without the source of spiritual stones, we can only sit back and rest. Although the land of Principle Source has strong spiritual energy, it cannot help so many people absorbing it at the same time.
Not only is there no progress at all, there are also faint signs of regression.
When things reached this point, Wu Fuqiu accepted his fate and no longer had any unrealistic illusions.
Anyway, he has been an orphan since he was a child, drifting and helpless. Having stayed at the foot of Yuandao Palace Mountain for more than twenty years, I have long been accustomed to the scenery here. I vaguely regard this place as my hometown.
Whenever a young man came here full of hope and begged for the Archmage's gift, he would smile and say nothing.
It was as if I had seen myself back then.
However, he did not dispel the illusions of these young people.
Because everyone who did this was cleaned up by the people of the ten sects.
However, the mystery of worldly affairs lies in this.
Just when Wu Fuqiu had completely forgotten the gift of the Archmage...
On this day, the sky suddenly bloomed with colorful rays of light.
Under the Yuandao Palace, thousands of monks were stunned on the spot.
I don’t know who shouted first, the Archmage has appeared!
Then, in a state of extreme excitement and fear, all the monks knelt on the ground.
Only Wu Fuqiu stood there blankly because his mind was blank.
"How bold! How dare you disrespect the Archmage!"
A ray of sword light, accompanied by an angry voice, flew from a distance.
Seeing that Wu Fuqiu was about to lose his head, a blue feather slowly floated down from the sky.
White sword light, the first move. The speed is extremely fast.
Blue feathers, falling back. Shaking and slow.
However, a strange scene happened. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the blue feather was one step ahead of the white sword light and landed on Wu Fuqiu.
The sword light arrived belatedly, but it did not cut off Wu Fuqiu's head. He just passed through and killed the three kneeling monks behind him on the spot.
As for Wu Fuqiu himself...
Shrouded in blue feather light, he slowly rose into the air uncontrollably.
Amidst the exclamations of everyone, it kept going upwards.
After crossing the Daoyuan Palace on the top of the mountain, flying through the clouds, we arrived in front of a purple gold dojo in an instant.
Wu Fuqiu seemed to be in a dream, standing for a long time before he came back to his senses.
His body was shaking with excitement, and Wu Fuqiu even forgot about etiquette and pushed the door open directly.
Unlike the imagined holy heaven, there is no one here.
Quiet and dead.
Only the faint sound of chanting came from inside.
Wu Fuqiu followed the direction of the sound and carefully arrived at the deepest part of the dojo.
The simple-looking purple-gold wooden building exudes bursts of fragrance.
Wu Fuqiu knelt down and saluted. After receiving no response for a long time, he finally plucked up the courage and pushed open the door.
The scene inside the wooden building comes into view.
A vague figure sat cross-legged and muttered something.
Behind him, a boy wearing blue and white Dopo stood with his eyes closed.
The boy had red lips and white teeth, and a delicate face. It was difficult to tell whether he was a boy or a girl.
However, Lan Yu noticed that the boy seemed to have had a fight with someone. The Taoist robe was somewhat damaged and there was a faint trace of blood attached to it.
Wu Fuqiu did not dare to make a mistake and kowtowed again.
But neither the figure nor the boy showed any expression.
"This figure should be the Great Master of Tiandu."
After a long time, Wu Fuqiu bravely stood up and sat cross-legged like a scholar.
Listening carefully to the other party's constant chanting.
Gradually, he seemed to understand something.
The blue feather that had disappeared when it fell on him before suddenly appeared in his Dantian.
"Feather Transformation Technique..."
"The world has infinite eras, countless worlds are born and destroyed, like feathers falling from the void."
"Turning into feathers, in tune with the world, you can flow with the era, life and death are uncertain, cross disasters, and transcend forever..."
Wu Fuqiu was fascinated by what he heard, sometimes frowning, sometimes happy.
This [Ten Thousand Tribulations Feather Transformation Technique] is too profound for him, a small foundation-building cultivator.
But even if he glimpsed a corner of it, it was also a revelation to him, and his internal realm continued to rise.
Wu Fuqiu was immersed in it, and he didn't know how long it had passed.
Suddenly, he felt the light and shadow shaking in front of him, which woke him up.
He saw that the boy who had stood with his eyes closed waved to him.
Although he didn't say anything, Wu Fuqiu understood that this was to drive him away.
Even though he was very reluctant, Wu Fuqiu had to leave silently.
Before leaving the Purple Gold Wood Building, he politely closed the door.
Before the door closed, a stream of light flew out from it.
Wu Fuqiu took it subconsciously and found that it was a miniature building like a ring.
"Magic weapon, martial arts arena."
"It also has storage function."
After a brief inspection, Wu Fuqiu showed joy on his face.
He kowtowed and knelt down again, and did so three times before leaving Tiandu.
At this time, he recalled that after he left the Purple Gold Wood Building, he could no longer hear the voice of the sitting phantom.
A sense of loss surged in his heart, and Wu Fuqiu even suddenly had the urge to return.
But after all, he was the great magician of the ten sects of the immortal way, so he finally did not dare to act rashly and left the scope of the heavenly city.
When he returned to the world, he was shocked to find that the Daoyuan Palace under the mountain had disappeared for some reason.
Even the surrounding terrain has changed greatly, as if a war had broken out here.
Wu Fuqiu searched for a long time before he found a living cultivator around.
From the other party's respectful attitude, Wu Fuqiu was shocked to find that he had unknowingly become a top-level strongman in the Xuanhuang Realm and a cultivator in the state of Hedao!
And hundreds of years have passed.
The rule of the ten sects of the immortal way is no longer as solid as a rock, and an organization called the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance has emerged...
"Fellow Daoist Lan Yu?"
Guan Xingxiu's voice woke Lan Yu from his memories.
"Yes, I am a mediocre person who achieved Hedao by luck."
"For so many years, the flattery of my apprentices and subordinates almost made me forget this fact."
Lan Yu felt relieved.
"If it weren't for my poor aptitude, I wouldn't have only cultivated the [Wanjie Huayu Gong] to the Hedao realm."
"Without the great master's teachings, I have made no progress in thousands of years."
Lan Yu shook his head secretly, his thoughts returned to reality, and looked at Guan Xingxiu: "I believe in your judgment. Since the murderer is hiding among us, we just need to gather together and wait for him to reveal his flaws."
Lan Yu paused, and then said: "This person just broke through and couldn't wait to commit the crime. If it's not a psychological reason, it's because of the practice of the technique that caused him to have to sacrifice other cultivators after the breakthrough. Next, he will definitely not stop."
Everyone nodded and affirmed Lan Yu's judgment after hearing this.
In order to protect themselves, this group of Wanxian League Hedao stayed in the lobby of the [Wangzun] flying boat and supervised each other.
However, the murderer's cunning was completely beyond their imagination.
After another nine days, when everyone controlled the flying boat and successfully passed a remaining disaster in the void.
There was another corpse on the flying boat.
Lan Yu and Guan Xingxiu looked at each other and confirmed that [Zi Mu] had fallen.
The pressure in his heart increased a bit instantly.
"Old Guan? We are all together this time, right? You are the strongest among everyone. Did you realize which bastard did it?!"
Facing the expectant eyes of everyone, Guan Xingxiu shook his head helplessly.
There was an uproar in the hall.
"Everyone calm down. We were all concentrating on dealing with the void disaster just now, so we were accidentally attacked by the murderer again."
"What should we do next? If we don't avoid this disaster, we will die. If we avoid it, we will be assassinated..."
"Humph, in my opinion, we don't have to spend this effort to avoid any disaster next time. At worst, we will die together!"
"Brother Xu, don't say angry words. We still have so many people!"
"No, I want to leave this ship!"
When everyone was talking, a sharp cry suddenly suppressed all other sounds.
Lan Yu and the others looked over and saw that Qing Shuang He Dao, who had been relatively calm before, suddenly seemed to have a mental breakdown.
His expression was mad, and a little madness flashed in his eyes.
While muttering to himself, he was about to rush out of the hall and leave the flying boat.
"Stop him!" Guan Xingxiu shouted angrily.
Only Lan Yu and a few others took action.
Being in the flying boat, they were afraid of causing damage to the flying boat, so they were also restrained when they took action.
For a while, they were helpless against this crazy Qing Shuang.
Just when they were in a stalemate, Qing Shuang's movements suddenly stopped.
The expression on his face was frozen and he stood there in a daze.
Before everyone could react, Guan Xingxiu's expression changed and he immediately flew forward to check.
"Dead."
After a moment, he turned around with an extremely ugly face and said.
A chill instantly enveloped everyone.
Compared with the initial attack, the murderer's methods seemed to be more skilled.
Just now, dealing with the void disaster could be used as an excuse, but now everyone is indeed watching with concentration.
And the murderer is still committing crimes unscrupulously...
How to prevent this?
The flying boat fell into a deathly silence.
"I think that what Qingshuang said before her death is not without reason." Sun Luchang spoke, breaking the silence.
"From the current situation, the strength of this murderer is growing too fast. Perhaps soon, after killing more people, he will not need to act secretly. Instead, he will appear directly and kill us one by one. Staying on the boat is definitely a dead end. It is better to abandon the boat and survive in the void."
Sun Luchang's words also aroused the agreement of other Hedao: "Yes, this [Wangzun] flying boat is very fast. As long as we leave separately at regular intervals, the relative distance in the starry sea will be very far. The starry sea is vast, even if he has the ability to reach the sky, he will definitely not be able to catch us all in one net!"
"And this place is still within the range of the suction of the Immortal Ruins. As long as we follow the direction of the suction, we can return to the Xuanhuang Realm. In addition, each of us has the Kongming Liujing magic weapon issued by the Immortal Alliance, so it is not a problem to return safely."
...
You say one thing, I say another. Slowly reached a unified opinion.
In the end, more than half of the people chose to give up and get off the boat halfway.
Guan Xingxiu looked at Lan Yu and asked for the opinion of the most old Hedao.
Lan Yu sighed slightly: "The world is big, and life is the most important. It is understandable that they made such a choice."
"In order to avoid more casualties, let's decide this way."
"Old Lan, are you not leaving?"
Lan Yu shook his head: "My time is coming to an end, and I will die if I go back. It is better to seek a glimmer of hope in the void."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this. After expressing their blessings, they left the flying boat one after another and returned to the Xuanhuang Realm.
It is a bit cowardly to die in the middle of the journey to explore the star sea.
But it is better than losing your life.
After a lot of trouble, only five people were left on the flying boat.
Lan Yu, Guan Xiuxing, Sun Luchang, Xu Guanhai, Zimei
Guan Xiuxing looked at Xu Guanhai in surprise: "You didn't leave?"
Xu Guanhai smiled: "I think that with so many people leaving, it's safer on the flying boat now."
"Besides, no matter what, I still want to see the Xuanshang Immortal Boat with my own eyes."
Xu Guanhai looked at Sun Luchang: "Brother Sun, you are a little strange, aren't you? When everyone was clamoring to leave before, weren't you the loudest? Why did you stay?"
Sun Luchang was a little embarrassed: "I am too weak. I am afraid that if I leave the flying boat and rely on my own strength, it will be difficult to return to the Xuanhuang Realm. It is safer to stay here."
Everyone was speechless when they heard this.
They saw that what Sun Luchang said was indeed true.
Unlike them who volunteered, Sun Luchang was forced to be arranged on the flying boat by the Immortal Alliance, and his strength was the lowest among everyone.
Sun Luchang moved closer to where Guan Xingxiu and Lan Yu were, "You two, tell me, is there a murderer among us?"
The other four looked at each other, their expressions were a little subtle.
No one dared to guarantee before the identity of the murderer was revealed.
"Since you all decided to stay, then our original route will not change." After a moment of silence, Guan Xingxiu said loudly, "We can reduce the space of the [Wang Zun] flying boat and speed up the journey."
"By the way, Xingxiu. Why is this flying boat called [Wang Zun]? I always feel that this name is a bit ominous."
After hearing Guan Xingxiu's words, Lan Yu frowned and asked, not knowing what he remembered.
Guan Xingxiu was slightly startled, and then replied: "I don't know, it was the will of the Dharma transmitters themselves. I guess it should be the intention of [Wang Jian Tianzun]."
After saying this, Lan Yu frowned even more tightly.
He looked up at the flying boat and asked a question that made the other four people present feel terrified: "Are there other people on this flying boat besides us?"
"Probably... No." Guan Xingxiu said hesitantly.
At this time, Zimei, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke: "Maybe? This ship is alive?"
Sun Luchang was startled and asked quickly: "Where did Daoist Zi say this?"
Zimei said softly: "I comprehended the way of the sea of stars, and watched the life in the flying boat wither like ants. So I made a breakthrough."
"In my perception, this flying boat..."
"It's like it has its own life."
Zimei's words made everyone shudder.
Guan Xingxiu hesitated and said: "If it is true, then the Immortal Alliance will definitely..."
At this point, Guan Xingxiu stopped abruptly.
The golden Falling Star Sword above his head glowed with golden light, and Guan Xingxiu gathered all the black threads extracted from the assassinated He Dao together.
Like a living worm, the threads merged together and became a little thicker.
Before, he had already touched this murder weapon with every cultivator present, and no one had any reaction to it.
But the only thing he missed was the ship itself.
The last five people on the flying boat looked at each other and reached a consensus in an instant.
The formation surrounded the black thread in the center.
"Old Guan, go to the control center of the flying boat." Xu Guanhai said in a deep voice.
This sentence seemed to anger the black line, and it hit the seal that trapped it frantically.
The five Hedao worked together to lock it tightly.
All the way to the center of the [Wangzun] flying boat.
Guan Xingxiu took a deep breath and opened the main control array of the flying boat.
In the center of the array, the phantom of the Wangzun flying boat floated in it.
As if guided by the unknown, the black line surrounded by everyone floated uncontrollably towards the phantom in the main control array!
The five people turned pale at the same time.
Boom!
At this moment, the flying boat suddenly shook violently.
The thick black line suddenly burst out with several times the impact force before, and instantly broke free from the restraints of everyone.
Returned to the phantom of the flying boat.
At this point, the truth has been revealed!
The culprit who killed several Hedaos turned out to be the flying boat they were riding!
This is simply an unimaginable conclusion.
Even though the facts were in front of him, Guan Xingxiu still found it hard to believe.
"Why..." he gritted his teeth.
As the commander appointed by the Immortal Alliance who had control over the Wangzun Flying Boat, he was the nominal commander of this operation.
This creature, which was originally under his control, actually killed his colleagues right under his nose!
It was a naked humiliation!
Swoosh!
The Falling Star Divine Sword was unsheathed and pointed directly at the shadow of the flying boat.
The next moment, Guan Xingxiu was about to cut the flying boat in two with one sword.
At this moment, a cold voice suddenly echoed in the space.
"The ultimate mission goal of this trip: to meet the Heavenly Lord."
"After deduction, the possibility of the mission is low."
"Searching for a solution..."
"After deduction, every time a Hedao cultivator on the flying boat is converted into the energy of the flying boat, the probability of mission success will increase by one..."
The sound of the flying boat flashing continuously made everyone feel like they were falling into an ice cave.
And then, the dozens of corpses that floated out of the picture one after another made them even more furious.
They were exactly those Hedao monks who had "disembarked" before!
