Chapter 522 The Four Ghost Kings Surround the Imperial Palace
Seven hundred and twelve years later, in the side hall of Mangshan Ghost Palace.
Countless long and short lines are constantly changing around the black and white yin and yang fish in the center, three consecutive lines of Qian, six broken lines of Kun... Dui is missing, Sun is broken... as if they are interpreting all the things in the world, dense and endless. All-inclusive, all-inclusive, complex and mysterious, dizzying the soul.
And Shi Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the black and white Tai Chi diagram, had a strange thing like a piece of dark soil floating on his chest, exuding a sense of peace, relief, and kindness.
The rotation and evolution of the innate Bagua hexagrams suddenly reached the fastest speed. The entire side hall seemed to be plunged into a sea of black and white, a world of long and short. They kept reorganizing and disintegrating, and gradually converged into two extremely complex restrictions. mysterious pattern.
Shi Xuan's half-closed eyes suddenly opened. Inside were the same black and white gossip. They were also deducing and calculating, forming complex restrictions like mysterious patterns.
Then Shi Xuan's eyes emitted a strange black and white light that was a foot long, and the two mysterious patterns slowly flew out of his eyes, seeming to fall towards the black mud embryo with great difficulty.
When the two mysterious patterns touched something like black soil, the clay embryo slowly lit up with a black shimmer of peace and joy, and countless mysterious restrictions emerged within it, layer upon layer, densely packed, and confusing.
They encountered two mysterious patterns, just like a rushing river finally merged into the sea. During the rapid changes, they gradually became integrated and inseparable, and two vague Taoist characters "Deyou" were drawn.
In the black dim light, pulled by the restricted changes, the soil began to squirm. First it stretched into a human shape that was about an inch long, and then its face became clear. The eyebrows and eyes were exactly the same as Shi Xuan's, and the aura was exactly the same.
Seeing the dim light subsided and the black statue of Tranquility and Houde stabilized, a hint of joy flashed through Shi Xuan's heart. After more than seven hundred years of deduction, countless failed attempts, and a lot of materials, he finally found the fourth-level Yin De secret treasure. The refining method, forbidden talisman seals, etc. were deduced and successfully refined.
"Fortunately, some materials can be replaced by negative things of the same nature, otherwise nothing can be done." Looking back on the past seven hundred years, Shi Xuan felt that it was extremely difficult, especially in the initial stage. Even if he worked hard, it would be difficult to make any progress.
Fortunately, there is another secret treasure refining method as a reference. With the completion of the eighteenth level of the Tai Chi Diagram nearly four hundred years ago, and the cultivation of the Xiantian Bagua to the fourth level more than one hundred and ninety years ago, the deduction begins to become smoother. Get up, and some things that cannot be deduced, through experiments, after almost consuming a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures exchanged for two mysterious and mysterious things, the first drop of rootless water and the first snowflake, I finally rushed to the imperial palace. A successful year of meritorious deeds.
"Let's call this secret treasure 'The Statue of Yin De'." Shi Xuan has never had any talent for naming, and he only made a big deal about the first fourth-level secret treasure he created on the path of cultivation that was different from his predecessors. He picked a name, then invaded it with his mind to see if there were any omissions that he hadn't noticed before, "Hey, this is?!"
After a while, Shi Xuan retracted his mind thoughtfully, a little bit dumbfounded. He really couldn't find anything after running through iron shoes, and it took no effort to get it. If he hadn't already made the oath of cause and effect, everything would be much simpler.
After more than 700 years of hard training, all of Shi Xuan's magical skills, including the Six Paths of Reincarnation and the Causal and Alchemy Book, have advanced to the fourth level, and he has finally become a genuine Three Tribulations Yangshen, not just relying on one or two. Sect magic and magic weapon support.
The Four Symbols World-Destroying Sword and the Five Elements Immortal-Destroying Sword are still about two hundred or three hundred years away from reaching the next level.
But it is a pity that due to the suppression of Jiuyou Great World, Shi Xuan's Yin-Yang Mixed Cave Divine Light failed to reach the fifth level as expected. Not only that, but he did not even touch the essence of Yin-Yang Avenue. According to the normal cultivation progress, It is said that the Yin-Yang Mixed Cave Divine Light, which can reach the fifth level of immortality in 840 years, should have begun to try to touch the Yin-Yang Avenue after practicing for more than 700 years.
Shi Xuan clearly felt that he was only one layer of window paper away from the Yin-Yang Avenue, but other avenues except the way of life and death were weak and hard to find. No matter how much he realized, he could only linger on the edge and spent ten times the hard work. But he couldn't get a single point of gain. This was the first time since his cultivation that Shi Xuan felt that his power was nowhere to be used. Fortunately, Shi Xuan's character had been tempered many times and became extremely clear. He soon felt relieved that ten times was not enough. Just realize it a hundred times, a thousand times.
"If only there was another Jiuzi, we should be able to achieve perfection." Shi Xuan was not depressed, nor did he complain about the lack of time or the poor environment. "In these seven hundred years of seclusion, there have been losses and gains. Yin De The three calamities of human figures and Tai Chi diagrams are the most valuable if completed for four hundred years.”
In the following year, Shi Xuan's cultivation returned to normal and he adjusted his state of mind.
…………
Dong-dong-dong, a sound like a knock on the door suddenly sounded from the formation arranged by Shi Xuan, the rhythm was bright and crisp.
Shi Xuan straightened his clothes, his heart was solemn, his expression was relaxed and indifferent, and he removed the formation with a wave of his hand.
As expected, standing outside the formation was Mangshan Ghost Lord, who looked like a middle-aged scribe and had black horns. He had a smile on his face and tapped the outside of the formation with his fingers, looking leisurely and contented.
Seeing Shi Xuan withdrawing the formation, he chuckled and said: "It's a good time, it's the perfect time to visit the imperial palace at night, I'll invite you, Taoist friend Shi." Shi Xuan's formal appearance made Shi Xuan feel a little alienated.
Behind him stood the blind crow in black robes. He was neither cold nor indifferent towards Shi Xuan. He slightly cupped his hands as a courtesy. Apart from him, there was no one else waiting. It seemed that this time Mangshan Ghost Lord was only planning to give Shi Xuan a gift. He and Blind Crow entered the imperial palace.
"Ghost Lord, please." Shi Xuan did not say much. It was useless to say more. It all depends on their own methods.
Mangshan Ghost Lord smiled and clapped his hands: "Fellow Daoist Shi, you are happy." Then he walked out of the side hall first and got on the black carriage pulled by nine Yin Qi dragons. His face was hidden behind the curtain, while Blind Crow sat in the driver's seat and drove the nine Yin Qi dragons.
"In order not to arouse the suspicion of the other three, I wronged Fellow Daoist Shi." Mangshan Ghost Lord nodded lightly.
Shi Xuan stepped on the carriage, stood beside Blind Crow, and said lightly: "It's okay."
Black fog filled the air, and dark clouds appeared under the feet of the nine Yin Qi dragons. They soared into the sky and flew towards Zuosheng Ghost City.
…………
The sky of the Nine Netherworld is always so dark and lifeless, but the inky black clouds are still very conspicuous. The ghosts in Zuosheng Ghost City are no longer surprised. For ghosts with long life spans, they have been coming here for more than a thousand years. They are really used to it. Anyway, they don’t go near the imperial palace within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles.
Zuosheng Imperial Palace is underground, hundreds of thousands of feet lower than the surface of the Yellow Spring. The black air is lingering, and the palaces and pavilions are looming, continuous, solemn and majestic.
The nine dragons of Yin Qi that pulled Mangshan Ghost King, Shixuan, and Blind Crow did not fly down, but hovered in the sky north of Zuosheng Imperial Palace, waiting for the arrival of the other three ghost kings.
The giant ghost king in Zuosheng Imperial Palace seemed to be afraid of being lured out of the hole, and ignored the nine dragon carriages. After all, his current strength could not kill Mangshan Ghost King in a short time.
Not long after, a black cloud of death, a cloud of dark lightning, and a dark blue glow came from the other three directions, covering the sky and approaching quickly with great momentum.
"Old ghost of Mangshan, you came quite early, aren't you afraid that the giant ghost king will take the opportunity to kill you?" A voice came from the black cloud of death. The ghost did not show his figure. Only a huge ghost could be seen in the black cloud. It was not human-like, but like a giant turtle. There were three human figures standing on the turtle, standing next to a lying figure. Shi Xuan judged from the direction he came from and the conspicuous giant turtle that this person should be the soul-eating ghost king, whose real name was unknown.
The Ghost King of Mangshan smiled softly and said, "Ghost King Juling is so powerful, how could he let you three take advantage of a small person like me."
In the dark lightning cloud was a huge black ghost with one horn. It looked ordinary, with black face and fangs, which could be seen everywhere. It was holding a wolf-toothed club and had a terrifying aura. It was the Ghost King of Dangshan, Guluo. There was only a little ghost with a rotten face beside him. His expression was gloomy and resentful, but his eyes were clear. Obviously, the resentment came from his special skills.
"Old ghost of Mangshan, this three-tribulation real person beside you doesn't look like your disciple?!" The voice of the Ghost King of Dangshan, Guluo, sounded like thunder. I didn't expect him to be so careful and found the clues at once.
Shi Xuan's soul immediately felt great pressure and infiltration. He actually started to search for the soul directly. It was so simple and rough, without any hesitation, as if he didn't take Shi Xuan, a small three-tribulation real person, seriously at all.
The Tai Chi diagram in Shi Xuan's body turned into a golden bridge on the other side, and the soul-searching power suddenly stagnated. Then a green light flashed, protecting Shi Xuan behind him. It was the timely rescue of the Ghost King of Mangshan.
The Ghost King of Mangshan's face did not change, but he was extremely angry in his heart. He knew that Gu Luo always used a rough and reckless image to cover up his calculations behind it. Just now, he obviously smelled a little secret from Shi Xuan's strangeness, and then attacked without any signs or hesitation, catching him off guard.
He really didn't expect him to be so fast and so direct. If it weren't for Shi Xuan's extraordinary strength, he would have been at a disadvantage. However, in order to avoid exposing his trump card, the four of them had to work together to entangle the Giant Ghost King. He could only smile and say, "Friend Shi is a casual ghost cultivator. I met him more than 700 years ago. Don't worry about him, Dangshan Ghost King."
The dark blue light came closer at this time. Inside was a pale and gloomy sedan chair. There were four men in mourning clothes carrying the sedan chair. The people in the sedan chair did not show their faces and had no time to speak, because with the gathering of the four ghost kings, changes occurred in the Zuo Sheng Emperor Palace below.
Amid the violent rolling of the black air, a ghost shadow quickly grew larger. In a blink of an eye, it was tens of thousands of feet high. It was like the sky and the earth. The black armor was extremely heavy. The face was hidden behind the helmet, giving people a majestic and heavy feeling.
As he approached, the space and spiritual energy all showed signs of tearing. Even if the strength dropped to the lowest point, the Giant Ghost King took the initiative to attack without any fear or hesitation.
