Chapter 519: Each with Their Own Agenda, Testing Each Other

Shi Xuan discovered several small worlds that were beginning to collapse and destroy, emitting a terrifying aura. He immediately changed direction and went around from another place. A few days ago, he was just brushed by the aftermath of the destruction of a small world. Shi Xuan felt like he was resisting the ghost king of Mangshan's soul-calling technique that day. He almost couldn't handle it. He was still frightened. If he wanted to break through directly, he would have to be at least the third level of the heavenly man.

Fortunately, the power of the destruction of this kind of small world was too great, blowing away the dense space-time fog around it, allowing Shi Xuan to see it from a long distance. Otherwise, when he was wandering in the space-time fog, he suddenly broke into the vicinity, which would be unfair.

Because the road was difficult and long, and some places had to be detoured, it took six days for Shi Xuan to approach the edge of the small world layered and abnormal time and space distortion zone that could be seen by the naked eye before, and he was only one step away from the secret place emitting the residual aura of the six reincarnation immortal arts.

After spending a lot of effort, Shi Xuan finally bypassed the collapsing small worlds. In the dense space-time fog, there was an extremely desolate and extremely dead broken space. The strangest thing was that the milk-like fog automatically dissipated near it, and it didn't dare to get close at all. This should be caused by the residual breath of the seventh, eighth or ninth level of immortal arts.

Seeing the place where space-time was distorted and overlapped not far away, a trace of uncertain, poetic and watery time wind blew out, and the direction was exactly this side. Shi Xuan didn't dare to delay. With a thought, the Tai Chi diagram was transformed into the other side of the golden bridge and it was derived in a mighty way, passing through the dense space-time fog and landing on the small world.

The golden bridge was magnificent and suppressed everything. The space-time fog under the bridge immediately calmed down. The golden lotuses beside the bridge bloomed with infinite light, sacred and solemn, and resisted all the remaining fog from other directions.

Then, above the white mist, a golden bridge appeared, transcendent and vast. The surroundings were calm. Shi Xuan stepped onto the golden bridge and walked through it in a very short time. Because the time and space mist was too dense, the Tai Chi diagram could only stay there for a very short time at its current level.

After stepping into the desolate and silent world, the Tai Chi diagram could not hold on and turned into black and white light and retracted into Shi Xuan's soul. It was slightly injured, but not serious. It would recover after a few days of warming up.

When he turned around and looked outside from the dense time and space mist that had not yet rolled and gathered, Shi Xuan's usual good mood was also rippled, and he felt a little scared. Not only was there the wind of time blowing outside, but there was also a round, illusory monster that looked like a huge Kunpeng, shaking its head and tail and flying past the mist. Wherever it passed, everything was swallowed into its stomach, including the time and space mist and the not-so-powerful broken world.

This is a kind of monster beast in the void universe that is extremely powerful after birth, called the Devouring World Beast. A newly born Devouring World Beast has the strength of an ordinary Heavenly Immortal True Lord. When it grows up, it is roughly equivalent to the third level of the Heavenly Man. It can take the sun and the moon, swallow the world, and form a world in its stomach. However, the more powerful the things in nature are, the greater their defects. Devouring World Beasts are not only rare in number, but also almost none of them have opened their spiritual intelligence. Shi Xuan, who has cultivated to a higher level, has never heard of them.

"Huh, I didn't expect to see a Devouring World Beast that is almost an adult. Zi Ying only heard about it from others before." These days, every step is thrilling and extremely dangerous. Zi Ying Sword dared not speak, for fear of disturbing Shi Xuan. Now it is much safer, and it is naturally excited to speak with its chatterbox nature.

Shi Xuan also felt that his horizons had been broadened. He had never thought that a Devouring World Beast would appear in the origin space of the Jiuyou Great World: "The universe is so vast that nothing can be found."

"It's a pity that you are not strong enough now, otherwise you would have caught it and taken it back to guard the house, how majestic it would be!" Ziying Sword seemed to like the chubby Devouring World Beast.

The Devouring World Beast passed by this small world, perhaps because it felt the residual breath of immortal arts, and instinctively felt danger, so it gradually moved away from here.

Shi Xuan then restrained his mood and shifted his attention to this small world. He sighed in his heart: "Although the process of reaching this place can be done by a Heavenly Immortal True Lord who has not passed the decline, but without the attraction of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, even the great power of the third decline of the Heavenly Man cannot find this secret place through the heavy fog of time and space and the many broken and destroyed small worlds."

The Six Paths of Reincarnation appeared behind him and slowly turned. Inspired by it, the entire small world was divided into black and white, and also divided into six pieces. The breath was simple and profound, and the sense of life and death was like substance.

However, the pattern on it was unclear, and it could barely be seen that it was the six paths of reincarnation. After all, it was just a little bit of residual breath.

Shi Xuan followed the induction and walked towards the place with the strongest breath in the small world.

Not long after, Shi Xuan came to the foot of a dead mountain. The higher he went up the mountain, the stronger the breath became, and there seemed to be more incomplete words in it, which echoed directly in Shi Xuan's soul, but it was almost a murmur, and Shi Xuan could not hear it clearly no matter how he listened.

The closer he was to the top of the mountain, the clearer the echoing words became: "Teacher... Book of Life and Death... Traces... Six Paths of Reincarnation... The main hall of the Imperial Palace... The road to hell opened... I..."

When Shi Xuan stepped onto the top of the mountain, the wind of Yin and Yang swirled over, and the Yin was like death, and the Yang was like life.

"Master, why is there nothing here?" Zi Ying Sword asked curiously.

Shi Xuan carefully explored the top of the mountain and found that except for the echoing words becoming clearer and the breath becoming stronger, there was no other abnormality, no matter how his six paths of reincarnation turned.

After hearing Zi Ying Jian's question, Shi Xuan said thoughtfully: "Didn't you hear the echoing murmur?"

"No, it was silent." Zi Ying Jian answered affirmatively.

Shi Xuan stopped the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and as expected, the echoing sound disappeared immediately, and the surroundings were unusually quiet: "Those words should be contained in the breath of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. Unless you use similar fairy arts to stimulate its induction, you can't hear it."

To this day, Shi Xuan is still not sure whether it was Emperor Fengdu or Emperor Zuo Sheng who left the breath. With his own strength, he can't judge how long the breath remains, nor can he know whether these remnants were left by accident when performing fairy arts, or whether they were left deliberately. From the incompleteness, it seems to be accidental, but from the word "get me", it is more likely to be deliberate.

So Shi Xuan tends to believe that it was left by accident at the beginning, and when he was about to erase the breath, he changed his mind for some reason and added some words to leave for the later comers who can perform the Six Paths of Reincarnation fairy arts.

"The first three words mean that the trace of the Book of Life and Death was found here. It is the life treasure of the Taoist Patriarch of Life and Death, and also the foundation of his unity of Taoism. However, where the trace is and how to trace it are not revealed at all." Shi Xuan began to speculate on the meaning of the words.

"And the last four words may be another matter, using the Hell Road in the Six Paths of Reincarnation to open the door of the main hall of the Imperial Palace and obtain its inheritance? Secret treasure? Or the specific information of the previous matter? In this way, it is very likely that it was left by the missing Zuo Sheng Emperor for many years." Shi Xuan could only make a preliminary inference here. Of course, these word combinations may have other meanings, but the one Shi Xuan thought of now is the most likely.

However, due to several coincidences in this matter, Shi Xuan was not overjoyed, but rather solemn and doubtful.

At first, Shi Xuan suspected that it was the old boatman who was playing tricks. After all, he came to Yinshan because he wanted to take the designated flower of sin elimination, but a year is a long time, and when to set off and what time to set off are completely up to him. It should be impossible to predict in advance if he happened to meet Blind Crow, Mo Gui and others.

"Could this be a back-up plan set up by Zuo Sheng Emperor to return?" Shi Xuan had a guess, not knowing whether it was good or bad. But if he wanted to go out, he would have to break into the main hall of the imperial palace, otherwise other ghost kings would have found a way to send people out of the Nine Netherworld.

After weighing all the options, Shi Xuan made up his mind and began to nurture the Tai Chi diagram, preparing to leave the origin space.

…………

A dark and gloomy sword energy hit a piece of Yin soil, turning it into powder, but it was in the opposite direction of the Mangshan ghost king who was sitting cross-legged in the faint space-time fog, as if he was testing or deliberately alarming the enemy. The thick fog at the fault made it difficult to find where the sword energy came from.

"It seems that the means you left behind are about to dissipate. But you don't have to worry about it. I am here to guard you. You have no way to go up to heaven or down to earth. It is better to surrender obediently, so as not to become a bewitched soul or suffer the disaster of killing." Mangshan Ghost King looked at the thick fog and spoke lightly. His voice was indescribably sharp, and it actually penetrated part of the fog and had a feeling of affecting the mind.

Shi Xuan hid behind the fog and kept changing his position and said: "It is very useful for me to have the ghost king waiting here." With the words he got more than ten days ago, Shi Xuan spoke vaguely, as if he knew everything, and began to deceive Mangshan Ghost King.

This kind of thing must not be revealed all at once, otherwise there will be no confidence in negotiation. If Mangshan Ghost King still doesn't know about the main hall of the imperial palace, then when his strength is not as good as his, the more he says, the bigger the mistake.

"Hey, tell me, with your strength, what can I do for you?" Mangshan Ghost King was not a pushover, he asked calmly, with black air in his eyes, searching the fog, for him, it would be best to capture Shi Xuan alive, then it would be easy for him to do anything.

Shi Xuan's erratic voice came, only four words: "Six Paths of Reincarnation!" The tone was confident and firm.

Mangshan Ghost King's face changed: "Who ordered you? Why do you know this?!" At this time, in this environment, mentioning the Six Paths of Reincarnation, he had to believe what Shi Xuan said.

At first, he was somewhat sure that Mangshan Ghost King was waiting here for the matter of the main hall of the Imperial Palace. Shi Xuan smiled lightly and said: "How I know is not important, what is important is what you plan to do!"

"Humph, what I plan to do is not important, what is important is how long you can stay in the origin space?" Mangshan Ghost King sneered and returned Shi Xuan's words, fearless, this is the confidence brought by strength!
