Chapter 457: Pretending to be the Queen Mother of the West of Western Kunlun, Deceiving People, Ghosts, and Immortals
In a corner of the Infinite Wind Malevolence, thunder and purple lightning rolled from time to time, and the sound of rolling waves surged. Within a radius of about five miles, a picture scroll spread out. The Yin wind rolled with malevolent qi and howled and flew in mid-air, impacting the picture scroll. There was also a golden tripod sitting in the picture scroll, and from time to time, thunder sword light flew out from the tripod, striking at the blowing Yin wind malevolent qi.
The picture scroll supported it for a long time, and then a copper plate flew out from the golden tripod, replacing the picture scroll to bear the Yin wind.
The atmosphere of the group of Yin Spirit True Persons was a bit low. They took turns sacrificing magic treasures to support the Yin wind malevolent qi, and now they had changed two rounds.
Initially, they could support it for a day, but now several magic treasures had ground away a lot of spiritual light, looking like the seals were about to collapse. Going out to replace them again, they had to change once every hour.
If it weren't for the fact that all the True Persons practiced righteous methods and their magic power was still quite deep, they wouldn't have been able to support it long ago.
But even with righteous method cultivation, they couldn't withstand such endless grinding day and night.
Just at this time, the Yin wind suddenly stagnated slightly. The group of True Persons sensed that there seemed to be a vast aura ahead, slowly approaching them in this shrill Yin wind.
"There is something strange!"
True Person Gu opened his eyes from adjusting his breath. The Yin malevolence here was mixed, and there was no spirit qi, making it extremely difficult for them to recover magic power. This bit of adjustment time was better than nothing, and couldn't play much of a role. It was better to enter meditation shallowly and maintain vigilance!
Only seeing a piece of dimness ahead, the Yin wind was vast, and a point of five-colored light, accompanied by golden light, was particularly conspicuous in the dimness in the distance.
The ubiquitous demonic shadows interfered with everyone's spiritual sense, and they could only use their naked eyes to distinguish with all their might, until the golden light was close, and everyone could see clearly.
True Person Gu's face revealed a look of incomparable shock. He recited the Pureness Mantra back and forth several times before believing that this scene before him was not an illusion born of demonic sounds, and couldn't help but whisper: "This place... how could such a thing appear?"
Xie An was also shocked: "This is Divine Dao regalia?"
In the rolling Yin wind, a team of regalia was supporting the malevolent qi, slowly moving toward everyone here.
The four divine generals at the front had deep auras, were over a zhang tall, and held iron whips, precious swords, maces, and golden melons, walking in the Yin wind. All the malevolent qi swept over, but couldn't stain their protective divine light. Occasionally, a trace of insidious blood malevolent qi was also struck away by the divine generals with a casual whip.
Behind them was a team of heavenly maidens, each holding musical instruments.
The ethereal and otherworldly walking void Dao music entered everyone's ears, instantly eliminating the demonic sounds. The demonic fire accumulated in everyone's hearts over these few days gradually calmed down.
Many True Persons who felt restless felt a lightness in their hearts, and couldn't help but feel lingering fear. They originally thought that the Yin wind malevolent qi was the most terrifying thing in this place, but now thinking about it, the ubiquitous demonic sounds were the real danger. If it weren't for the immortal music entering their ears and suppressing the inner demons, many people would have had problems these few days and triggered demonic tribulations.
True Person Zhu's eyes were blurred, looking at this scene, and only after the shock of the first sight passed and the mental agitation caused by the demonic sounds dissipated, did he shiver.
He couldn't help but whisper: "That Sima family kid, didn't he say that this place was destroyed in the demonic tribulation ten thousand years ago, and all the gods died! Are we seeing real gods' regalia, or the resurrection of fierce spirits?"
Everyone didn't dare to speak. The regalia had already approached the group, and behind them were axe, section, and long staves, dozens of divine generals wrapped in golden light, with tyrannical auras and majestic appearances, holding axe, axe, star, and hammer, each solemn and silent, walking in the Yin wind.
Following closely were pieces of flags and banners, each flag and banner guarded by a part of the Dao soldiers. It was truly a neat military appearance, making everyone's mouth dry and their feet at a loss.
And in the middle of the flags and banners, a five-colored canopy with nine curved handles was atmospheric and majestic, its spiritual light dazzling, extremely dignified. The canopy covered a dragon chariot, pulled by six flood dragons, moving slowly. Wherever the golden chariot passed, the Yin wind split in front, and the five-colored canopy lowered colorful light, excluding all malevolent qi.
A golden ripple expanded like ripples, and wherever the golden light reached, the Yin wind malevolent qi was shaken away.
Added to the brocade banners, treasure canopies, curtains, umbrellas, flags, and treasure vases in the rear, the entire set of regalia appeared in the Infinite Wind Malevolence, with an unspeakable strangeness in its majesty.
"This is..."
The Great Ancestor also couldn't help but stand up. He took out a picture scroll, flipped through a few pages, and lost his voice: "This form of regalia is extremely ancient, and there are black birds and black dragons among the flags and banners... This is the ritual system of the Immortal Qin!"
Sima Yue was also dumbfounded: "Could it really be the fierce spirits of the Immortal Qin resurrection, traveling in the Yin malevolence?"
"Is it the passing of Yin soldiers, and everyone who sees it dies! Or is it the inspection of gods, and everyone who meets it is blessed?"
True Person Zhou put away the copper plate, seeing the pointer on the compass swinging continuously between great evil and great good, and felt a bit nervous in his heart.
Only Xie An grabbed his beard, somewhat hesitant in his heart: "This regalia, why does it feel like it has the meaning of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside?"
At this time, the regalia had gradually walked in front of everyone. Sima Yue suddenly saw a familiar face on the golden dragon chariot, standing smiling on the chariot shaft, holding a nine-tailed white fox in his hand.
Sima Yue's scalp exploded, and he exclaimed: "Li Taibai!"
Qian Chen stood on the chariot and nodded slightly, pulling Si Qingcheng's true body behind him, letting the Divine Dao Dharma Body in the chariot have a distant and profound aura.
He bowed to everyone and said: "True Persons, this is the regalia of the Taizhen Immortal, the daughter of the Queen Mother of the West of Western Kunlun, and must not be offended! Because Princess Qingcheng was favored by the Heavenly Maiden, she was accepted as a sworn sister. We were able to take refuge with the Taizhen Immortal, get her protection, and temporarily avoid the wind disaster."
Si Qingcheng hid behind Qian Chen, feeling inexplicably flustered in her heart, her heart beating non-stop. Looking at Xie An, who was smiling kindly, she was very uneasy: "Why did senior brother let me pretend to be an immortal? My Divine Dao Dharma Body is only a fourth-rank Yin Spirit, yet I dare to pretend to be a first-rank god? As long as any one of them takes action, it will be immediately dismantled... although Xie Gong may not necessarily care about us, but... so embarrassing!"
Her Divine Dao Dharma Body sitting in the dragon chariot moved slightly, and the bead curtain of the crown on her head trembled.
Xie An laughed and said: "So it is Taibai. Since it is an ancient righteous god in front of us, we should naturally lead us to pay respects!"
Qian Chen was very calm and composed: "Then I will introduce to you..."
He came to the front of the dragon chariot, lowered his head and leaned toward the curtain, and said to Si Qingcheng's Divine Dao Dharma Body: "Junior sister, don't be afraid, Xie Anshi is one of our own. Later, when he comes up, you just need to hold the Western Kunlun Mirror well!"
Xie An stepped forward and bowed respectfully.
He saw that the divine dharma image had a round light like a wheel around its body, hanging behind its head and shining brightly. In that light, it was righteous and not evil, and the divine light was dazzling, which was indeed a righteous god. But the rank of this god seemed a bit low, and it shouldn't exceed the Yang Spirit.
But what Li Taibai said was solemn, and Xie An was indeed a sincere gentleman. For this reason, he just wanted to see what was going on. If it was really a righteous god putting on airs, there were reasons, and he would help cover it up later.
Not to mention Xie An, even True Person Zhu and True Person Zhou, after the shock of the first sight passed and the mental agitation caused by the demonic sounds dissipated, also discovered some clues.
They always felt that this god was not as powerful as imagined.
True Person Zhu leaned in front of Qian Chen and said in a low voice: "I have never heard of which god the Queen Mother of the West is, worthy of Taibai being so solemn."
Qian Chen laughed: "This is a heavenly god, who manages the disasters and five remnants of heaven, and lives in the west of Western Kunlun!"
True Person Zhu leaned in front of Qian Chen and said in a low voice: "I have never heard of this god. Western Kunlun was a great world in ancient times, later pulled into the Earth Immortal Realm by the First Emperor as one of the Nine Provinces, and there are also legends that it is the divine mountain of the Heavenly Realm. The Central Lands also have a spirit mountain named Western Kunlun. These are all extraordinary. I don't know who the god Taibai serves is, and where is it? Don't be deceived by some hairy god or mountain god, and belittle our dignity!"
Qian Chen glanced at him and said calmly: "True Person Zhu is trapped in this place, ground by the Yin wind, almost in a desperate situation. Now that there is a god to save you, you still want to get to the bottom of it, and lightly offend—True Person, your heart is not sincere!"
"You..." Anger flashed between True Person Zhu's brows, but considering that they were at the end of their rope, he really couldn't fall out with people, so it was better to let Xie An test it. If it was some minor god or hairy god, then capture her and let her lead the way for them. If the cultivation was not low, then temporarily lower his head and survive this difficulty first...
Unexpectedly, Xie An boarded the golden chariot, and just as he met the god in the golden chariot, his face changed.
Si Qingcheng saw Xie An's eyes fall on the Western Kunlun Mirror she was holding, and a flash of horror flashed in his eyes. She felt strange in her heart—isn't this a replica? Or did Xie An take it down himself, why can't he recognize it now?
She didn't know that the Western Kunlun Mirror in her hand was now vaguely emitting a wisp of immortal light. That aura of being indestructible through ten thousand tribulations, deep and vast, let alone Xie An looking at it through the curtain, even if he held it in his hand, he wouldn't dare to recognize it as the replica he captured.
Even if the real Western Kunlun Mirror were taken out now, under the self-obscurity of the divine object, it might not be as real as the one in Si Qingcheng's arms at this moment.
That was the aura of a genuine Luo Tian immortal artifact. In front of this wisp of aura, Xie An was like an ant.
This time, Xie An's contempt completely disappeared. Even if the person sitting inside was an ordinary old woman, as long as she held the Western Kunlun Mirror, she would be comparable to a true god!
An ancient and vast will was transmitted from the Western Kunlun Mirror. Candle Zhu Jiuyin, across the Luo Tian world, pinched her throat and made a voice like a middle-aged beautiful woman, saying to Xie An: "Don't be afraid! My divine soul is broken, and I have been dead for many years. I can only borrow the divine artifact to talk to you!"
These words were not false at all, but anyone who heard them thought that the god in the mirror was the Queen Mother of the West that Qian Chen spoke of.
And that divine artifact, of course, was the legendary Western Kunlun Mirror!
Who could have thought that the Western Kunlun Mirror was not the Western Kunlun Mirror, but a Luo Tian immortal artifact; and the Queen Mother of the West was not the Queen Mother of the West, but the improper Candle Zhu Jiuyin?
How could Xie An not be nervous? Not to mention that this god still had a remnant soul entrusted to the divine artifact, even if only a wisp of remnant thought remained, it would be enough to make them suffer.
He immediately bowed respectfully: "Xie An pays respects to the Venerable God!"
Seeing Xie An being so solemn, the group of True Persons were all incomparably shocked. Everyone felt awe in their hearts, and the contempt and light look from before disappeared without a trace.
Being able to make Xie An bow like this, what status should this god have? An sharp-eyed aristocratic family True Person caught a glimpse of the Western Kunlun Mirror in Si Qingcheng's Divine Dao Dharma Body's arms, his eyes went blank, and he lost his voice: "Western Kunlun Mirror!"
True Person Zhou suddenly realized, showing a moved look: "So that's it! Western Kunlun Queen Mother of the West, it really is related to Western Kunlun! It turns out to be the ancient god who holds the Western Kunlun Mirror. The Taizhen Immortal should just be the god who serves the Western Kunlun Mirror. What Xie Gong is really paying respects to is the Western Kunlun Mirror in her arms. This regalia is also an inspection of the incarnation serving the divine artifact!"
"The god in the Western Kunlun Mirror, could it be the remnant soul of one of the most ancient gods?" Many people's hearts were trembling.
Candle Zhu Jiuyin, who transmitted her will through the Western Kunlun Mirror, used a voice that was distant and clear like heavenly music, saying to Xie An: "Tao Tianshi and I have an agreement in advance to take care of you in this cave heaven. The demonic path side has the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon fighting against me, and I can't spare my hands for a while. Many times, you still have to rely on yourselves. This Candle Dragon has been fighting with me for many years, and neither can do anything to the other, but if those demons rely on the power of the Candle Dragon, I will not sit idly by."
"So it is Tao Tianshi's arrangement. I don't know what agreement the Venerable God and the Tianshi have? Is there anything Xie can do?" Xie An said solemnly.
"Hehe..." A silver bell-like smile came from that side: "I won't hide it from you. The demonic path side has already colluded with the remnant soul of the Candle Dragon in the Nine Heavens. Seeing that those demons want to help the Candle Dragon re-establish its divine position and be reborn as a demon god, I naturally can't be idle... Tao Tianshi's agreement with me is to let his daughter join my sect, cultivate with my protection, and the condition is to help me restore the Divine Dao at the appropriate time and re-establish faith in the name of the Taizhen Immortal!"
"In that case, Xie Anshi will naturally help!" Xie An finally realized.
Tao Hongjing is worthy of being a Dao Sect Tianshi. This plan of his can be called terrifying. We were entangled with the demonic path in the Jin Ling Cave Heaven, but who knew that Tao Hongjing had already buried this dark hand? The demonic path and our side were just chess pieces.
The Candle Dragon remnant soul and this ancient god Queen Mother of the West were the chess players behind the scenes. This layout was an alliance between two chess players, laying out the world. No matter how rampant the demonic path side was, it actually had nothing to do with the overall situation.
Xie An felt a slight tremor in his heart—Tao Tianshi's scheme is actually so terrifying!
Si Qingcheng saw Xie An's face change from solemn to serious, and from serious to horror, followed by horror turning into admiration. She understood in her heart and felt it was very fun.
She brought a trace of faint sympathy and secretly thought in her heart: "Another one tricked into the pit by senior brother! Xie Gong is really pitiful... Yan Shixiong brother is also really something, such a fun thing, he didn't even tell me clearly!"
Xie An bid farewell to the ancient god in the mirror, walked down the golden chariot and nodded: "The Venerable God has already agreed to send us away from this place!"
Xie Lingyun couldn't help but frown, stepped forward and transmitted his voice to Xie An: "Grandfather, I observed carefully, this regalia has many strange things. Those divine generals have tyrannical auras on the surface, but it seems to be formed by the connection of momentum and the fusion of qi. And those Divine Dao magic weapons also seem to lack fire, with traces of being newly refined. And what Li Taibai said is also unclear..."
"Lingyun!" Xie An interrupted him: "Don't be too clever!"
After saying that, he summoned the golden tripod and followed respectfully behind the regalia with a group of True Persons. Xie Lingyun was just confused and couldn't help but ask Qian Chen: "I don't know how Taibai met the Taizhen Immortal?"
Qian Chen stood on the golden chariot and said calmly: "Just now, when I and Princess Qingcheng were following the road and were about to leave the abyss, we encountered an ambush by a group of old demons of the demonic path at the exit. There are nine dragon wind pillars at the exit, their power contained and not released, which is extremely terrifying. They set up a demonic array at the entrance, just waiting for me to come out to trigger the array, let the Infinite Wind Malevolence erupt, and ambush and kill us all..."
The group of True Persons were all shocked. True Person Gu frowned: "Is it really so? Then our whereabouts, aren't they all in the eyes of the demonic path?"
"If it weren't for Taibai walking in front, and we were caught off guard and fell into an ambush, it would really be extremely dangerous!" Wang Longxiang also looked solemn and said in a deep voice.
"The demons triggered the Infinite Wind Malevolence at the exit with an array. I and Princess Qingcheng were caught off guard and rolled away by the Yin wind. In a life-and-death situation, fortunately, we were rescued by the Taizhen Divine Maiden, only then escaping a disaster."
Qian Chen's breath was a bit uneven, and his face was slightly pale, clearly the injuries he suffered before had not yet healed.
Sima Yue's eyes flashed with cold light. He had many poisonous schemes in his heart, but he went up to welcome Si Qingcheng with a smiling face first, saying: "Sixteenth sister is indeed blessed by heaven, with her own luck, and was actually able to get the favor of the Venerable God! I also rely on sixteenth sister to be able to escape the disaster!" ===== CHAPTER 458 =====
