Chapter 300: Supreme Louguan Foundation, Inherited Disciple, Terrifying Qian Chen
The moment Qian Chen opened the umbrella, Xiao Yu was bumped into the Void Xu Xu Jian Sheng hall by the green ox. In a flash of thought, the world changed. The void in the hall was dark, and the ground was like a water surface, but it strangely held up the few people, not staining them with half a drop of water.
A line of bright light in the distance was hazy, like the first ray of light on the horizon before dawn.
Just as Xiao Yu and the others stepped into the hall, that bit of bright light expanded rapidly. Immediately after, the boundless darkness receded up and down, revealing a huge mirror that occupied most of their vision.
In the mirror, it was the world outside the hall.
Qian Chen held the umbrella with one hand and pressed the sword with the other, standing on the divine furnace, facing Lei Yu, the loose cultivator possessed by the Zangshan Laozu of the Jin family, and Lin Zhanglao and others.
"Teacher?" Xiao Yu rushed forward, but was bitten by the green ox by his collar and pulled back.
"Kid, this is the place where the demon is sealed, don't act rashly!" The green ox looked at the mirror that occupied most of their vision, like the pupil at the center of a giant eye, and said solemnly.
"This mirror..." Tao Kan hesitated.
"Why does it look a bit like an eye!"
In the dark void, a giant mirror hung in the distance, occupying most of the vision, like the pupil at the center of an open eye. It was just that this eye was incomparably huge, making the two people and one ox like a few tiny specks of dust floating in front of the pupil.
That giant pupil was like a circular lake a thousand zhang in diameter, taking everything in the demon cave into its eyes.
The green ox raised its head, looking at the vivid reflection in the mirror.
Xiao Yu looked at the giant pupil that occupied the entire world, and also had some trepidation and panic. He looked at everything reflected in the mirror and hesitated: "Is what's happening in the mirror what's happening outside?"
In the mirror, Qian Chen slowly moved the sword away. The loose cultivator possessed by the Zangshan Laozu of the Jin family suddenly covered his eyes and wailed.
Blood seeped from his eyes.
That blood was mixed with strands of black, incomparably dark red, mixed with heavy death qi and essence qi, completely unlike the blood of a Penetrating Law loose cultivator. Even his natal essence blood couldn't have such powerful essence qi.
This was the blood of the Zangshan Laozu of the Jin family!
That spraying blood was like blood tears, flowing from the loose cultivator's eyes. As it flowed, the strands of black became thicker and thicker. In the end, there was only a trace of bright red, and the rest were pitch-black turbid tears.
The tears were groaning, wailing weakly. The tears gathered into a pool of shadow on the ground, which was the essence of the Zangshan Laozu of the Jin family's soul body.
The green ox was shocked, but Tao Kan didn't understand what had happened!
Qian Chen wiped a trace of blood from the sword and said calmly: "Qian has been waiting for this moment for a long time! I didn't expect that you would only have the courage to make a move after that demon made a move to bewitch you!"
"Otherwise, killing you on the road wouldn't count as me violating the sect's precepts!"
In the pool of black blood on the ground, the two eye-shaped marks were still floating on it, imprisoning the wailing residual soul of the Zangshan Laozu of the Jin family.
That mark was firmly branded, as if it were engraved on the soul, or even on the essence and true spirit, carrying a feeling of incomparable terror, cold and cool, like snake scales sliding over the skin, as if a strange, cold gaze was revealed from above.
The loose cultivator screamed for a long time before reopening his eyes. His eyes were still shedding black blood, but there was no wound at all.
It was just that the double pupils had disappeared, leaving only the terrified and bewildered eyes of the loose cultivator himself.
Xiao Yu was stunned: "Teacher, did you counter-kill that Yin Spirit Venerable? Teacher hid his cultivation; is he also in the Yin Spirit realm?"
The green ox clicked its tongue: "He hid his cultivation, but he is not in the Yin Spirit realm. The one who opened the thunder sea here, attracted the Nine Heavens thunder, attained Core Formation First Rank, and added a new type of pill rank to the world—the Inner Scene True Thunder Pill, shocking the world, was your teacher!"
Xiao Yu was silly, still not understanding what had happened.
The green ox sighed: "To kill a Yin Spirit Zangshan Laozu with a Core Formation First Rank body is not an unprecedented thing, but to kill so easily is shocking. And the Zangshan Laozu of the Jin family was hiding in the loose cultivator's shell. This sword light could actually pass through the eyes, killing the person and the soul without damaging the body at all. This kind of ability to lift heavy as light is terrifying and fearsome."
"No wonder this person was leisurely all the way, not afraid of offending anyone, and knew everything about this place. It turns out the one hiding the deepest here is your teacher!"
In the mirror, Qian Chen glanced at Lei Yu and said calmly: "True disciple of the Supreme Louguan Dao—Qian Chen, guarding the Demon-Suppressing Hall set up by the senior here!"
Qian Chen opened his eyes, and his expression seemed to have changed into another person, cold and calm. It was as if the person he had just killed was not a Yin Spirit Zangshan Laozu who suppressed one side, but some nameless pawn.
"Supreme Louguan Dao!"
This sentence seemed to reveal a truly great terror.
"Impossible!" Lin Zhanglao said in horror: "The Supreme Louguan Dao was already destroyed two years ago!"
The green ox and Tao Kan looked at each other, and Tao Kan said solemnly: "The time this Qian Daoist friend appeared seems to be one month after the Supreme Louguan Dao was destroyed?"
"The timing of this demon cave's birth is very strange!"
"Could it be that this place is a grand formation left by the Supreme Louguan seniors to prevent their own inheritance from being cut off one day?" Tao Kan said with hidden fear: "The meta-magnetic essence qi accumulated for thousands of years in the meta-magnetic earth aperture is a heaven-shaking opportunity for Core Formation, capable of condensing evil and refining qi to attain Core Formation First Rank. Then the birth of the demon cave and spiritual acupoint is a treasure trove left for thousands of years, with a foundation sufficient to open an immortal sect!"
"The six Earth Immortals in the Bone Corpse Land, and those magic treasures... the most terrifying thing is the demon suppressed in this place!"
"Seizing the foundation of the demon is enough to cultivate into a Yang Spirit!"
"This Qian Daoist friend, could he be an inherited disciple of the Supreme Louguan Dao? He appeared twice, once in Wukong to kill evil cultivators, and once in the Nine Heavens Commandery to destroy the Pei family and seize the Taiyin True Evil. Then he entered the meta-magnetic earth aperture, opened the thunder sea, and attained Core Formation First Rank."
"The Jin and Lei families wanted to annex the thunder sea and turn it into their own private property!"
"Why didn't the Five Thunders Transformation Great Array cause the meta-magnetic storm in the thunder sea and expose the spiritual acupoint, but instead opened the demon cave? If this is all an arrangement by the Supreme Louguan Dao seniors..." Tao Kan couldn't help but shiver.
The layout of the Supreme Louguan Dao is too terrifying!
Thousands, or even ten thousand years ago, the Supreme Louguan Dao seniors killed the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo from the Land of Reincarnation, leaving a foundation for their own inheritance.
After the Supreme Louguan Dao was destroyed, the back-up was left behind, and the disciples who inherited the Dao lineage searched for evil qi according to the arrangements left by their predecessors, accumulating merit. Then they secretly came to Guangling, snatched the thunder sea before the Xin and Lei families, and attained Core Formation First Rank.
The plotting of several families for the thunder sea spiritual acupoint triggered the arrangements left by the Supreme Louguan seniors, leading everyone into a dead end.
That spiritual acupoint must be an industry of the Supreme Louguan Dao's branch residence left behind.
And the demon cave is the place where demons are suppressed. Not only are there treasures and demon treasures, but there are also heaven-shaking dangers. As of now, even if a Primordial Spirit True Immortal walked in, they wouldn't be able to handle the arrangements here.
The various outputs of the demon cave are all resources that the Supreme Louguan Dao has been operating for a long time. Those six Earth Immortals, perhaps they are all good karma left by the Supreme Louguan seniors, plus this bit of Supreme Supreme Tian Mo true spirit hidden in the alchemy furnace, refined from the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo.
It is enough to push the inherited disciple to the Yang Spirit realm.
When those six Earth Immortals attain cultivation and come out, supporting that inherited disciple, it will be another great Dao Sect.
Demon cave to block enemies, spiritual acupoint as the Supreme Louguan branch residence. With protectors, resources, opportunities, and fundamental cultivation techniques, the wealth, law, land, and companions are all prepared. This layout is tight and solemn...
The green ox and Tao Kan seemed to have caught a glimpse of the traces of the layout of the Supreme Louguan Dao seniors, all of them horrified. Compared to this great handiwork of the Dao Sect's direct transmission, leaving behind all kinds of opportunities for later generations to attain Core Formation First Rank, cultivate into Yin Spirit, achieve Yang Spirit, and even attain Primordial Spirit, and using a Supreme Supreme Tian Mo from the Land of Reincarnation as the resource for the inherited disciple, to rebuild the Dao lineage and leave behind endless back-ups.
They even prepared the protectors to suppress the sect and the excellent disciples to revitalize the sect in the future.
Imagining the back-ups left by their own families, Tao Kan couldn't help but feel ashamed, and the green ox also sighed: "Compared to the senior who suppressed the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo of the Supreme Louguan Dao, the foundation left by Tao Qian for you... is a bit unsightly!"
"Look at this handiwork. If the demonic disciples who destroyed the Supreme Louguan Dao entered this place..." The green ox thought of this and couldn't help but shiver: "The first few levels, even Old Ox would have to peel a layer of skin, and here..."
The green ox said worriedly: "Little Kan, in our words, have we unintentionally offended Qian Daoist friend?"
Tao Kan heard this and thought of something, his whole body stiffened!
He whispered: "Qian Daoist friend, after all, is a direct transmission of the Dao Sect, with elegant and high-minded manners, he shouldn't be calculating with us... right?" Tao Kan saw from the mirror the remaining Jin family members, the Xin family members who were less than five fingers, and the Lei family members who were facing a great enemy under Lei Yu's leadership.
The last word couldn't help but turn into a question.
Xiao Yu didn't understand: "The Supreme Louguan Dao has such back-ups, why didn't they use them earlier, instead of letting their own sect be destroyed by others before enabling these arrangements?"
"This is the foundation!" Tao Kan sighed: "The foundation is not to leave a last line of life for withered branches and residual leaves, but to shelter the seeds behind from the wind and rain after being struck by lightning and burned by fire... How can the Supreme Louguan Dao sweep away the old qi and open up new life without experiencing this tribulation?"
Xiao Yu looked at the bright mirror reflecting the outside world and opened his Yin-Yang eyes, finding that he couldn't detect a trace of impropriety. This illusion was as real as it could be. He raised his head and looked at where they were, and said suspiciously: "This divine mirror really looks like an eye. But we don't seem to be outside the eye, not borrowing the divine mirror to reflect the outside world, but borrowing this eye to look outside..."
"What?" Tao Kan and the green ox were shocked again.
The green ox tentatively took a step in front of the mirror and actually stepped into the mirror.
Xiao Yu and the others were instantly sucked into the mirror by a powerful force, arriving in the demon cave, appearing between Qian Chen and Lei Yu and the others, in front of the Void Xu Xu Jian Sheng hall.
"This should be the illusion world, the world in the demon's eyes!" The green ox said in horror: "Everything here shouldn't be real!"
In this world, Qian Chen raised his sword, and Lei Yu's image had Lei light flowing on his fists. Suddenly, Lei Yu's fists bombarded, pulling out long thunder light, bombarding the two people and one ox. Thunder roared, and Xiao Yu had no power to fight back under this punch.
The green ox exerted its horns, colliding violently with Lei Yu's punch. Silent fluctuations spread out. The clear qi covering the green ox only swayed slightly, while the aftermath toward Lei Yu only made his image sway, like water ripples rolling over.
The green ox stared wide-eyed: "Unfair, it's a phantom in the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo's eyes, I can't hurt it at all!"
Only hearing a sword sound, Qian Chen's image had already drawn his sword.
Tao Kan tilted a cup in his sleeve, the sound of a tsunami surged, the Tianhe water breaking the dam and pouring down, transforming into a monstrous giant wave, sweeping away. The Tianhe in the cup transformed into a water curtain, but was split in two by a sword light.
Qian Chen held the Heavenly Luo San above his head, the sword light condensed to the extreme, like an ice thorn.
"What kind of sword technique is this?"
The sword light was crystal clear like ice, but the power inside was like condensed thunder light. As the Tianhe in the cup rolled back, it was actually frozen by the sword light, and then stabbed toward Tao Kan's heart.
If this were Qian Chen's true body, he would definitely answer: "Ice Soul Divine Thunder Sword!"
But Qian Chen's image was extremely quiet, only wanting Tao Kan's life!
"Life must have death, early end is not fate" In Tao Kan's sleeve, a willow branch popped out, meeting the sword light. The willow branch was slender and flexible, carrying the Ice Soul sword light, actually relying on that trace of toughness to catch the sword light completely.
The branches turned, trembled, completed, and bounced up.
Interpreting the toughness of life to the fullest.
It was in the vastness of Qian Chen's sword technique that he found the most subtle sprout of life.
Even in the cold winter of the nine numbers, there were still traces of life lurking.
Life and death are as usual, between reincarnation, it is indeed natural...
Tao family's family sword technique—Elegy!
"Where does the soul go, the withered form rests in the empty wood"
Tao Kan's willow branches manifested in thousands, hitting Qian Chen. The point where Tao Kan was was extremely empty, the Yin Spirit was vast, existing as if it were empty, but that willow branch seemed to be the place where the Yin Spirit was entrusted.
At this moment, the Yin Spirit was entrusted to the sword.
Compared to Yan Shu's past Yin Spirit entrusted to the flying sword, it was even more exquisite. The willow branch itself was a strange treasure, a branch of innate spiritual root gifted by a spiritual root friend when True Person Tao Qian traveled through the heavens in the past.
When the Yin Spirit was entrusted to it, its power was not inferior to a flying sword of the magic treasure level.
Qian Chen waved his big sleeve, and a small bottle flashing with meta-magnetic divine light flew out from his sleeve. The bottle mouth tilted, and countless Thunder Marsh Divine Sand poured out from it. Jade sand jumped in the silver sand, and countless silver sand attached to the willow branch.
Using Metal to overcome Wood, it instantly stagnated the thousands of willow branches, and then the jade sand jumped.
On the Thunder Marsh Divine Sand, blue-purple qi surged, making a thunder sound like jade breaking. The Yang harmony qi erupted, and groups of thunder fire roared. The thousands of willow branches instantly turned into one, with black and withered places on them.
The meta-magnetic divine light rolled with thunder fire, pouring down.
Tao Kan's face was pale, he retreated, and sacrificed the water curtain of the Tianhe poured from the cup in front of him. But at this moment, Qian Chen thrust his sword forward again, the sword light like ice soul cold light, freezing the thousands of thunder lights that were about to erupt, merging them into one sword, piercing through the Tianhe, and pressing straight toward Tao Kan.
The green ox's horns dropped green light, pressing toward Qian Chen, but when it touched the top of his head, it was blocked by the Heavenly Luo San. The thousands of green lights couldn't drop a bit.
Qian Chen's waist had a one-horned thunder loach flying out, carrying a stream of electric light, locking the green ox's horns.
The green ox roared: "This person, how many magic treasures does he have? This is another magic treasure close to the magic treasure level... Tao Kan, hold on!"
"Can't hold on!"
Yesterday evening we were both human, this morning we are in the ghost record.
A phantom of Tao Kan's body was slashed away by Qian Chen's sword light. That was a substitute life, also cultivated by the Elegy, a phantom life gathered from thousands of soul qi. Tao Kan had cultivated for a hundred years, and only cultivated three lives.
In this instant, two lives were slashed away.
He was scared out of his wits, used the Wood Escape, and fled in a mess with the willow branch in his hand. Tao Kan was terrified: "Am I the Yin Spirit, or is he the Yin Spirit? This person is too terrifying!"
In Qian Chen's sword light, the ice soul divided. One thunder light manifested the Bagua, with the power to behead immortals; one thunder light gathered the Five Elements, like a thunder light opening a world; one Yin-Yang meta-magnetic flowed, half black and half white; one was like chaos, opening the Primordial; the last one gathered the clear qi of the Qian Heaven, like the quality of green jade.
Tao Kan only turned his head and looked, and was scared to lose half his soul.
"Bagua Beheading Immortal Divine Thunder, Five Elements Divine Thunder, Meta-Magnetic Divine Thunder, Two Instruments Divine Thunder, Qian Yuan Divine Thunder, Primordial Divine Thunder..." The green ox muttered: "Thief, straight mother! Is this an inherited disciple of the Supreme Louguan Dao, or the Sect Master of the Shenxiao Sect?"
The green ox watched Tao Kan sacrifice his last life and flee in a miserable way, not even daring to go up and block him slightly.
The whole ox stood honestly in place, as if being punished for standing.
Xiao Yu saw the green ox, which was as big as a small mountain, reveal its true form, take off the two horns on its head, reverse the life-force into death qi, and the board horns transformed into long knives, frantically hacking at Qian Chen with every knife carrying the terrifying power of making all things wither.
Yes... Qian Chen also pulled a long knife from that ancient zither.
One knife and one sword, unparalleled, the knife light like a silk, the sword light like a long rainbow, the knife and sword intertwined, killing the watching Tao Kan until he was sweating, heart-pounding.
They fought until they were crazy. Qian Chen saw that the innate Wood essence qi had been collected enough, so he pointed, and the divine furnace behind him opened its lid, flying out a piece of incomparably deep, dim, dark darkness like a black hole, pouring down and encompassing the entire heaven and earth.
Inside the divine furnace, it seemed to have turned into void chaos.
In the chaos, countless black and white whirlpools were spinning non-stop, finally gathering into a giant Yin-Yang fish...
"Now!" Tao Kan roared, the green ox pulled Xiao Yu and fell into the divine furnace. The location of the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo's true spirit, the center of the Yin-Yang black and white whirlpool, was empty, with only a pure ray of light.
This was the Heavenly Mirror Divine Light condensed from the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo's gaze!
Xiao Yu saw this light and urged his Yin-Yang eyes to look directly at the divine light according to the method Qian Chen taught. In an instant, the divine light seemed to be angered and shot into Xiao Yu's eyes in an instant.
Xiao Yu felt his eyeballs melting and evaporating. He let out a miserable scream, but held on to operate the Taiyin Refining Form method, refining the divine light...
At this time, having seen through the illusion world in the Supreme Supreme Tian Mo's eyes in the Void Xu Xu Jian Sheng hall, Xiao Yu, the green ox, and Tao Kan had already rolled out of the Void Xu Xu Jian Sheng hall.
The green ox looked left and right, seeing Qian Chen holding the divine furnace, as if he had just used the divine furnace to crack the head of some illusory Yin Spirit, and in fact had completely destroyed the split soul of a certain Zangshan Laozu who was close to the Yang Spirit manifestation, couldn't help but tremble all over.
It took a long time to come back to its senses. The green ox patted its chest and said: "Finally escaped from that monster's hands!"
