Chapter 415
Inside the array within an array, everyone had different expressions.
Lin Shanshan was quite regretful; she discovered that she had misjudged Linghu Jiu!
"Senior Brother has already mastered the sword art End of the World Lonely Snow, and can control it freely."
She also discovered that she had greatly underestimated Unlike Ning Zhuo.
"Even if I hadn't intervened, with the power of Unlike Ning Zhuo's strike just now, he could have won in one move."
"I was just being overly sentimental!"
"Miss Lin." Unlike Ning Zhuo's call made Lin Shanshan's heart tremble.
She turned back to look and saw Unlike Ning Zhuo giving her a sincere smile, his eyes full of gratitude: "Miss Lin, thank you for your help!"
"Brother Linghu and I were just sparring, but I was too eager just now, lacked thought, and struck too hard."
"Thanks to Miss Lin's timely intervention, I didn't commit a grave mistake."
A few words of comfort made Lin Shanshan feel warm inside.
Linghu Jiu slowly put away his long sword and laughed: "I am just a projection of my true self, a Dharma body condensed by the Reflection Wall. Brother, you don't need to worry."
Unlike Ning Zhuo shook his head, his eyes as clear as water: "Brother, I have always treated you as the true self."
"If I didn't, wouldn't that be disrespectful to you?"
"I know you were concerned that I am a flesh-and-blood body, so you never struck with full force. How could I take advantage of you by going all out without any restraint?"
"I would rather this spar be fairer."
Linghu Jiu laughed loudly: "Brother, oh brother."
Lin Shanshan clapped her hands and also smiled: "This spar should be a draw; hmm, I think this result is the best."
Amidst the laughter, the previous resentment in her heart also dissipated a lot.
Lin Bufan:...
"Shanshan and Jiu'er still lack training."
"Could this kid Unlike Ning Zhuo be deliberately seeking a draw?"
Lin Bufan's gaze toward Unlike Ning Zhuo had already changed subtly.
Before, he was purely an elder looking at a junior, looking down from above, but after seeing that sickle strike, he valued Unlike Ning Zhuo much more.
"Unlike Ning Zhuo actually possesses Immortal Talent! And with such a temperament, I really don't know to what extent he will develop in the future."
The Five Elements Divine Lord was still studying that purple blade mark.
The Lonely Sword Monarch appeared.
His eyes were as deep as autumn water, carrying a trace of desolation, seeing through the prosperity of the world. His skin was slightly pale, as if he had been soaked in wind, frost, rain, and snow for many years.
He wore green robes, elegant as water, his figure tall and straight; at this moment, holding a sheathed sharp sword, the aura he exuded made people feel a faint sadness and loneliness.
"This is an external path." He said faintly, then turned his gaze to Unlike Ning Zhuo.
Even though his tone and gaze were calm, Unlike Ning Zhuo felt that under his gaze, he was as if placed in ice and snow, seen through completely.
The Lonely Sword Monarch said: "Little friend Unlike Ning Zhuo, may I ask about the origin of the sickle in your hand? Does it originate from the Night Rain Dynasty?"
Unlike Ning Zhuo hurriedly bowed and said respectfully: "Senior Sword Monarch, your eyes are like torches; it is indeed a demon weapon from the Night Rain Dynasty."
The Blood Slaughter Dynasty, the Forbidden Dynasty, and the Night Rain Dynasty, these three great dynasties each represent three important historical periods.
The Five Elements Divine Lord looked up and sighed: "It's a pity that my true self has passed away, and this Dharma body is confined within the Reflection Wall. If I could roam the world and meet all the heroes of the world, how happy that would be!"
The Lonely Sword Monarch also nodded slightly, showing a look of longing: "The front waves roll, the back waves surge. If I could test my sword against the world once more, even if I were defeated and perished, I would be happy."
During the Sword Monarch's era, he was also one of the few powerhouses in the world, having once traveled the world alone with a single sword, challenging heroes and geniuses from all walks of life.
Zhu Xuanji spoke: "The sickle in Unlike Ning Zhuo's hand is not an ordinary Night Rain demon weapon; it is quite special."
"Two seniors, I am quite curious."
"The Linlang Reflection Wall originates from the Wu Di era after the Blood Slaughter Dynasty, and has also experienced the subsequent two great dynasties, three great imperial dynasties, and countless kingdoms."
"But just now, hearing what you two said and did, I don't know about these subsequent events..."
The Five Elements Divine Lord was about to explain when another Dharma body appeared.
His eyebrows were as thick as ink, his gaze deep, his hands long and powerful, with distinct knuckles.
On his robes were embroidered patterns of a writing brush and green grass.
He moved like a clear breeze brushing against a willow, carrying an innate elegance.
Seeing him, Lin Bufan immediately bowed: "Lord Grass Saint, junior has finally seen you again!"
The person who came was the projection of the Grass Saint Zhang Huaixu.
Zhang Huaixu glanced at Lin Bufan, scanned the circle, and then paused on the purple blade mark.
"Lady Immortal Concubine already knows your intentions, please come in for a chat." Zhang Huaixu said.
Lin Bufan immediately showed excitement: "To be summoned by Lady Jingyu Immortal Concubine, it is truly a great honor."
Zhang Huaixu shook his head faintly: "Any talented junior can be summoned by Lady Immortal Concubine. Today is a good day; first there was Linghu Jiu, then Unlike Ning Zhuo, Zhu Xuanji, and Sun Lingtong. Everyone, follow me."
Lin Bufan's face turned a bit darker.
Zhang Huaixu's meaning was very simple: you all only got in because of Linghu Jiu and Unlike Ning Zhuo.
Zhu Xuanji's expression remained unchanged.
Ning Jiufan and Unlike Ning Zhuo's hearts tightened, knowing that their secrets had long been exposed in the eyes of Lady Jingyu Immortal Concubine.
Lin Shanshan looked around and asked: "Who is Sun Lingtong?"
Unlike Ning Zhuo laughed dryly: "Miss Lin, let me explain to you later."
Lin Shanshan immediately snorted and transmitted: "You stinky Big Head, how many more things are you hiding from me?"
Zhang Huaixu led the way directly.
Unlike Ning Zhuo felt grateful to Zhang Huaixu and said to Lin Shanshan: "Miss Lin, the Linlang Reflection Wall is more important right now."
Lin Shanshan's attention was immediately attracted.
"Little guy, see you later." The Five Elements Divine Lord waved at Unlike Ning Zhuo and disappeared on the spot.
The Lonely Sword Monarch also nodded slightly and disappeared.
Everyone followed the Grass Saint Zhang Huaixu forward.
One array space traveled into another array space, one after another...
More than a dozen consecutive arrays within arrays made everyone experience a journey of curiosity, shock, and numbness.
Sun Lingtong stroked his forehead and shouted: "Heavens, look at this level of protection! It's simply outrageous; even the capital of a kingdom doesn't have this level."
"These arrays are interconnected and nested; what place in the world has deeper defenses than here?" "Lin Bufan wants to have designs on the Reflection Wall; I admire his perseverance!"
Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't help but turn his head to look at Lin Bufan.
This Nascent Soul-level Myriad Medicine Gate Master's face was now pale.
He had never gone deep before, and this was his first time truly seeing that the original defense arrays of the Linlang Reflection Wall had more than twenty layers, and each array was analogous to the Jade Leak Dripping Array, etc.
Lin Bufan had spent over a hundred years to allow the original Mountain God to erode the outermost two defense arrays.
At this moment, he was horrified to find that his hundred years of effort were not even one-tenth of the whole!
The Grass Saint Zhang Huaixu said leisurely: "These arrays were all created by the Dharma bodies under the reflection."
"For example, Chen Xuanyi, Wang Jiu, Zhao Yuanji, Zhou Qingcheng, Li Tianye, etc."
Lin Bufan's face turned even paler.
These people mentioned by Zhang Huaixu were all famous array masters in history.
Lin Bufan wanting to erode these arrays was equivalent to one person trying to deal with the combined efforts of all the sages in history.
What hope was there?
For a moment, Lin Bufan felt a bit disheartened.
This was an underground karst cave, and no one knew how deep it was.
The originally dark and lonely cave, which was cold and damp all year round, had been gradually transformed because the Linlang Reflection Wall had been placed there for a long time.
The hanging stalactites had all turned into jade, crystal clear, with flowing light.
The cave walls also looked like carved jade and jade, smooth as a mirror, revealing a soft golden and silver glow.
The stone pillars in the cave stood like a forest, all glowing with jade color, as if they were jade towers and jade buildings, majestic and spectacular.
At the bottom of the cave was a clear spring, the water shimmering, and the halo of the Reflection Wall projected onto it, making it sparkle, with gold and silver interweaving, like a dragon palace treasure pool, brilliant and magnificent.
In the clear spring was a school of fish, completely transparent; as they swam, light and shadow intertwined, presenting a colorful display.
"Wait, is this a Ten-Thousand-Year Water Essence?" Zhu Xuanji's eyes flashed with golden light, and he whispered in shock.
Everyone was immediately attracted by the school of fish, their eyes burning.
Disturbed by the burning gazes of the crowd, the school of fish quickly sank to the bottom, turned into clear water, and dissipated.
But the fleeting glimpse also made Unlike Ning Zhuo feel shocked: "There are at least two or three hundred fish in this school. Two or three hundred Ten-Thousand-Year Water Essences?!"
"No, the slightly larger ones, are they more than ten thousand years old?"
The air in the cave was not turbid at all, but fresh and agile, refreshing to the heart.
The spiritual energy was rich but only misty, not forming fog to block the view.
In such an environment, the true body of the Linlang Reflection Wall was displayed before everyone's eyes.
It was about three zhang high and more than two zhang wide, shaped like a huge mirror, but the surface was slightly curved.
It appeared translucent, and the main body was a huge piece of glazed gold crystal. The halo shining on its surface was very wonderful, sometimes like the first bloom of dawn, warm and soft; sometimes like the sunset glow, brilliant and magnificent. As the light and shadow changed, the scenery in the karst cave also varied accordingly.
Sometimes it looked like flowers blooming in spring, sometimes like the starry river shining on an autumn night...
This scene was like a fairyland, a piece of jade and gold and silver, brilliant and shining.
Everyone was in it, sighing and lingering like ordinary mortals.
"Is this the Linlang Reflection Wall?" The spiritual treasure he had been dreaming of for over a hundred years was right in front of him, but Lin Bufan's expression was quite complex at this moment.
"Where is my Senior Brother?" Lin Shanshan asked after sighing.
"He is fighting with demon beasts inside the wall." A female cultivator Dharma body walked out of the Reflection Wall.
Her appearance was like heaven-made, her eyebrows like distant mountains, her eyes like autumn water, her nose bridge straight and beautiful, her lips like cherries.
Her skin was as white as snow, revealing a faint jade glow.
She wore a light green silk long dress, with exquisite white magnolia flowers embroidered on the hem, which complemented her temperament.
Walking out at this time, the long skirt was light and elegant, like flowing clouds and flowing water.
Around her waist was a jade belt, inlaid with pure white pearls, each full and crystal clear.
In her hair were several exquisite jade hairpins, each carved vividly. Hanging from her earlobes were two small and exquisite white jade earrings; as she moved, the earrings swayed gently. And on her wrists were a pair of crystal-clear jade bracelets, which made a crisp, tinkling sound when they touched gently.
Her temperament was beautiful and soft, and every gesture exuded a kind of tranquility and gentleness, like a piece of warm and moist beautiful jade.
Her voice was as soft as flowing water, and her words always carried a bit of care and consideration, making people feel like they were bathed in a spring breeze.
It was Jingyu Immortal Concubine!
The Immortal Concubine appeared, immediately making everyone's eyes shine with brilliance, and they couldn't help but hold their breath, only feeling that the underground karst cave had instantly been promoted to a magnificent dragon palace.
Such a person really made people sigh from the bottom of their hearts.
Everyone bowed down, and when they got up, the world had changed, and they had been taken into the Linlang Reflection Wall.
"Everyone, look down." Jingyu Immortal Concubine faced the crowd and pointed to the ground.
Under everyone's feet, it was like clouds and sea, quickly dispersing, revealing a huge, scarlet and deep black intertwined demon nest.
The demon nest was as eerie as the gate of hell, and the surging demon energy was like a tsunami, constantly impacting the surroundings, making people's hair stand on end.
The outer body of the nest was composed of countless black vines, the vines twisted and climbed, like snakes dancing, wriggling endlessly, making a faint rustling sound, as if telling endless resentment. Thorns grew on the snake vines, sharp as blades, dripping dark red venom, and the fishy smell permeated.
Huge skeletons were scattered inside and outside the nest. They had different shapes, some human, some beast, broken and incomplete, and the gnawing marks were clearly visible, ferocious and terrifying, making people's hearts cold.
There were also huge dark green demon stones, the light flickering, gloomy and weird. As light and shadow intertwined, the scene in the nest was sometimes bright and sometimes dark, as if countless wronged souls were wailing and complaining in the gloomy light. Under the illumination of the demon stones, everyone could barely see winding passages. These passages circled and swirled, like the blood vessels of the abyss, connecting the entire nest into one, naturally formed.
In the important nodes of the nest, ancient demon altars were distributed. The altars were covered with ancient runes, the runes were mysterious, revealing extremely evil and rich demon energy. Various utensils were displayed on the altar, some broken and incomplete, some stained with dried blood, clearly used for evil sacrifices.
And in the deepest part of the nest, there were pieces of dark abysses, dark as ink, unfathomable. Countless low roars and shrill hissing sounds came out continuously.
Just looking from afar, everyone felt a chill rushing from the soles of their feet to their heads. The demon energy was so surging that it was suffocating, as if they were in an endless nightmare, without a glimmer of hope of escape.
Jingyu Immortal Concubine said softly: "This is a peerless demon nest."
"The way of the demon originates from outside the sky."
"This peerless demon nest descended from the sky, is the source of the world's demons, immortal and indestructible, only to be suppressed and sealed."
"In the past, the Wu Di led a large army to besiege Mount Kunlun, and had to suppress the peerless demon nest to solve the demon disaster from the root."
"However, the demon nest is immortal and indestructible, operating at all times, deriving countless demon beasts, and ordinary means are difficult to suppress for a long time."
"The Wu Di, the military advisor, and other great cultivators thought hard and finally worked together to create the Linlang Reflection Wall. I, the Five Elements Divine Lord, and others went to Mount Kunlun to fight secretly, and finally sealed the peerless demon nest, winning the final battle."
Jingyu Immortal Concubine revealed the ancient secrets.
She continued: "The Linlang Reflection Wall is a spiritual treasure that can reflect many sages, take and keep images, and create Dharma bodies. Dharma bodies can only move within the wall and possess all the combat power of the cultivator's true self."
"For countless years, the peerless demon nest has derived endless demon beasts, and I have presided over the Linlang Reflection Wall, using the geniuses and sages who have emerged over countless years to condense Dharma bodies to resist."
