Chapter 685: Prelude to the Return to Ruins, Silver Mirror Group Chat
Brother Qian Chen lay high on the ox's back, finally waiting for the moon to reach the center of the sky and be full.
He quickly swiped the silver mirror, seeing lines of messages flashing by rapidly...
"Zhu Que: It's a big deal! These past few days at the Golden Blade Gorge, I heard that many senior experts were summoned away by a talisman edict. A newbie like me isn't qualified to follow, so I can only wait outside the array!"
"Zhu Que: I heard very terrifying movements a few days ago. It seems that big shots from the overseas immortal sects killed their way into the Sea-Blocking Array! The sounds of fighting, the bombardment of divine abilities and magic spells, the aftershocks made the entire sea area tremble, and finally, a terrifying change occurred, shattering the entire sea area!"
"Zhu Que: It was truly shattered! I saw heaven and earth, yellow and black, overturned, and the universe and primordial chaos mixed! Clear qi from the nine heavens fell from the azure sky, and turbid fire from the earth's lungs sprayed out... it shattered heaven and earth! Of course, these are all things I heard others say, and I didn't see them with my own eyes!"
"Pfft!"
Brother Qian Chen scoffed at this statement. Zhu Que had definitely watched the entire great battle, and its cultivation wouldn't be lower than Soul Transformation!
"Zhu Que: In the chaos, a thunderbolt tore through the curtain, and all the yin spirits within a radius of tens of thousands of miles were shaken away. Those ghost-controlling cultivators who practiced yin spirit methods were miserable! Some even had their Golden Core-cultivated fierce ghosts destroyed by the sound of thunder! When the thunder dissipated, some saw countless dragon shadows falling in the chaos, and even incomplete dragon corpses with scales and claws scattered on the edge of the original formation. This time, I fear the situation for the Long Gong is not good!"
"Gourd: May I ask what the Third Prince thinks? Forward to Third Prince!"
Below was a string of "Forward to Third Prince." Brother Qian Chen noticed that there were many new faces in the silver mirror forum, all of whom had registered only for this gathering.
"Xuantian: Just watched the array chart uploaded by Senior Master Chunyang, and my heart is a bit shaken. Was this matter really planned by Senior Master Chunyang? Or, is Senior Master Chunyang really Senior Master Chunyang?"
"Ao Bing's only certified biological father, East Sea Dragon King Ao Guang: You're playing the riddle-maker here! Zhu Que, anything else? What happened later?"
Brother Qian Chen saw this newcomer's ID and message and felt that this person must be very compatible with Wang Longxiang. Of course, not necessarily; Wang Longxiang was silent and reticent in reality, clean and efficient in his strikes, and never talked nonsense, which was completely different from his forum persona.
At the very least, Fan Fan Xiruo, who had had direct contact with him, had never suspected that he was "One Sword Like a Rainbow Decides the Hong Hong Sihai"!
One must know that even with the cover of Brother Qian Chen's upright and cold Donghua sword intent, it had made Fan Fan Xiruo waver, suspecting that he was the master of the silver mirror forum, Chunyangzi.
"Zhu Que: Later, after everything dissipated, I saw the original Golden Blade Gorge sea area shrouded in mist, and the sea area for tens of thousands of miles around was suppressed by a great array! The power of the array is very terrifying, and Soul Transformation experts might not necessarily be able to return if they go in. However, according to the seniors who were summoned by the talisman edict, True Disciples and Soul Transformation experts from Shaoqing and many overseas immortal sects made a move, fought a battle with the Dragon Clan, and the fighting was earth-shattering. After the aftershocks, the group of dragons in the array were all slaughtered!"
"Zhu Que: The battlefield left behind by this battle is incomparably terrifying, and it was suppressed by the sword immortal with an array!"
"Flying Boat Immortal City Executive Disciple: The dragons that set up the Profound Water Array were all slaughtered!!!"
"Fengwen Tower: According to the latest intelligence from this tower, the Shaoqing Sword Sect joined forces with the overseas sword immortal Lu Master Chunyang, ordering ten True Disciples of the overseas immortal sects to enter the array to test it. With the help of Master Chunyang, Fan Fan Xiruo, and Gourd in this forum, they finally figured out the reality of the Long Gong's array. That day, the four great sword immortals joined forces to break the array, sword-slaying the dragon horde."
"Fengwen Tower: In this battle, from Ao Cang, the foundation of the East Sea Dragon Clan, downward, nine Soul Transformation old dragons, thirty-four true dragon descendants, and millions of Long Gong demon soldier elites, as well as countless Yin Spirit great demons, were all slaughtered! Only a dozen or so small dragons were taken away by Senior Lu Master Chunyang!"
"Fengwen Tower: For specific intelligence, please go to the main tower of this sect to purchase! Including the true shadows of the nine True Disciples breaking the array, the changes of the Profound Water Array, the moves of the True Disciples of Mount Yujing, and exclusive intelligence on the four great sword immortals and Senior Lu Master Chunyang, all recorded first-hand by our sect's disciple Wen Wenzi!"
"Fengwen Tower: There is even more shocking exclusive intelligence, the ancient secrets told by the Ear-Dao God, the founder of the Heavenly Curse Sect, each one for thirty True Talismans! Involving the old events of the Immortal Qin and the secrets of the Heavenly Court!"
"Flower Fox Marten: On the forum, the array charts released by Senior Master Chunyang are all free. When it gets to you, you start doing business! Do you think that's appropriate?"
"Fengwen Tower: Our sect does intelligence trading. If you have any news to reveal, fellow Daoists in the forum, our sect is willing to buy it exclusively, and there will definitely be a heavy reward!"
"Flower Fox Marten:......"
"Flower Fox Marten: I have a piece of news about the flying boat market auction, how much will you pay!"
"Fengwen Tower: What news?"
"Flower Fox Marten: The Jiazi Treasure Gathering of the flying boat market has confirmed that three Cheng Lu Pan fragments will appear. This treasure gathering will be hosted by the Yingzhou Pavilion of the Seven Immortal Sects, which will move its own Hanging Xianshan over to host it. The Hanging Xianshan has the Yinghai Array, which can easily suppress Soul Transformation experts..."
"Fengwen Tower: Private talk..."
"Fengwen Tower: Sending a piece of news for free: Among the four great sword immortals who made a move that day, there was the Junior Brother Xiao Xie Army Supervisor who was famous for his sword-slaying of the four seas in the past. Intelligence on him is one Tianfu Tianfu Zhenfu! There is also the mysterious sword immortal Lu Master Chunyang, suspected to be Chunyangzi, the master of this forum, but this matter is in doubt and may be a smoke screen by the forum master. Intelligence on Senior Lu is three True Talismans! And the rising star of Shaoqing, Yan Shu, who was also famous for a time. Intelligence on Yan Shu is five thousand three-mountain talisman seals!"
"Fengwen Tower: Finally, there is Wang Longxiang from the Wang family of the Central Lands, who once broke the Ten Thousand Water Array, the number one person of the twenty-eight characters of the Divine State, known as the Great Tribulation True Dragon, Peaceful Elephant. Intelligence on him is two hundred three-mountain talisman seals for the ordinary version, and two True Talismans for the collected edition!"
"Taiyin:??? Forward to One Sword Like a Rainbow Decides the Hong Hong Sihai!"
"Fan Fan Xiruo: This is unlikely! I have been in contact with Wang Longxiang; he is a person of few words and quite a bit of demeanor, and his bearing is heart-touching..."
"Third Prince: Wang! Long! Xiang! I am waiting for you in the Return to Ruins!!!"
"Gourd: It seems that the intelligence from Fengwen Tower is still very reliable. I didn't expect the big shots in the forum to be so terrifying!"
"In the Return to Ruins? It seems that the loss was indeed painful enough for the Dragon Clan! They shouldn't come out to make trouble during the Treasure Gathering! This way I can focus on dealing with Penglai... Sigh! I am truly one who worries before the world worries and enjoys after the world enjoys! I have a worrying life!"
Brother Qian Chen calculated in his heart.
Yingzhou Pavilion sounded like a hand inserted by Penglai overseas, but not necessarily. If it were really Penglai's hand, how could it be tolerated by Shaoqing and Zhengyi in the Central Lands?
After reading the news brought by the forum friends, Brother Qian Chen swiped a few times on the silver mirror.
"Master Chunyang: This dragon-slaying act was carried out by the joint efforts of Shaoqing and many overseas forces such as the Qiongxiao Palace, Golden Crow Sect, and Profound Void Heavenly Star Sect! They also invited the two Heavenly Masters of the Central Lands, Sun En and Tao Tao Hongjing, to block the two arrays in the South Sea and Central Lands directions, and had the great experts of the Nanhua Sect and Jade Void Palace descend to the North Sea! Only then did they cut off one of the Dragon Clan's arms!"
"Master Chunyang: It is said that the overseas immortal sects joined forces to make a move because the Cheng Lu Gold Pan is in the hands of the Dragon Clan! If they let it obtain the Cheng Lu Silver Pan, it could directly enter the Return to Ruins and recast this Immortal Han supreme treasure!"
The Cheng Lu Gold Pan is in the hands of the Dragon Clan?
This immediately shocked not only those active in the silver mirror forum but even some lurkers, who all perked up their spirits and paid attention.
"Master Chunyang: The overseas immortal sects seem to have reached a consensus not to fight for the Cheng Lu Gold Pan with all their might, but to invite all those who hold Cheng Lu Pan fragments to the Chaotic Star Sea, using the fragments in everyone's hands to gather the Cheng Lu Pan and open the passage to the Return to Ruins! But the fragments gathered by the overseas immortal sects only account for one-third, so we have to see the news about the Dragon Clan's side and the fragments scattered elsewhere... If possible, the Dragon Clan naturally wouldn't want to hand over the Cheng Lu Pan fragments, but it still has three great arrays outside, so it has no choice!"
"Master Chunyang: Therefore, the Jiazi Treasure Gathering of the flying boat market will become the center for the trading and auctioning of Cheng Lu Pan fragments!"
"Master Chunyang: Those who do not wish to go to the Return to Ruins secret land can sell the Cheng Lu Pan fragments here, and the fragments in other places will no longer be protected. I will also withdraw the cover and protection for them, allowing the owners of the Cheng Lu Pan to divine and spy on their whereabouts, and they can be snatched at will. Even if they fall into the hands of the Dragon Clan, it will be tacitly allowed!"
"Zhu Que: That is to say, after the Jiazi Treasure Gathering opens, there might be great experts making moves to fish for the fragments that haven't gathered at the flying boat market?"
"Fengwen Tower: Senior Master Chunyang is indeed of great status. This matter was an agreement made by our overseas immortal sects not long ago, unexpectedly it has already been known by Senior Master Chunyang.
"Xuantian: On the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, those holding fragments of the Dew-Receiving Plate can accompany us, the overseas immortal sects, to the Star Fall Sea to open the secret realm of Gui Xu!"
The Silver Mirror Forum fell silent for a moment; there were nearly thirty holders of Dew-Receiving Plate fragments here, and not everyone necessarily wanted to enter Gui Xu.
But now that the overseas immortal sects' determination to open the Gui Xu secret realm was set, releasing this news was to tell everyone: either work together to open Gui Xu, or holding the Dew-Receiving Plate fragments would mean becoming an enemy of the entire overseas region.
Even the Dragon Clan had this intention!
The Dew-Receiving Bronze Plate had fallen into Gui Xu; if the secret realm were not opened, the plate could never be reassembled!
And among the overseas immortal sects, it is said that after the Wind-Hearing Pavilion heard the secret told by that ancient ear-Dao god from the Heavenly Curse Sect, they changed their minds and were determined to enter Gui Xu to find the secrets buried there!
And this was estimated to be the most suicidal one! Brother Qian Chen did not think highly of them.
It is said that the Cloud Heaven Palace's Primordial Spirit ancestor had Dao wounds in his early years that had been slow to heal, so they were determined to seize the Undying Tree in Gui Xu to obtain the Undying Medicine to heal the ancestor...
And the Empty Sea Temple, not knowing what they had glimpsed, went mad and awakened dozens of old monks in the Sarira Pagoda whose bloodlines had withered and who had almost passed away inside, determined to break in.
Even Mount Mount Luojia sent two guardians; they finally opened the face of the Shaoqing side, letting Shaoqing turn a blind eye to them.
The Profound Void Heavenly Star Gate was more unlucky!
Xuantian: They were worried that there were ancient formation remnants and unsolvable seals inside, so they had to drag me along!
In addition, Penglai, the Central Lands, the Buddhist sects, and the Daoist sects were all moving; even cultivators from other continents had heard the news and wanted to rush over. The hype Brother Qian Chen created was truly too great, almost tempting every lineage.
Moreover, Gui Xu had been silent for hundreds of millions of years, and the secrets and world wrecks submerged within were countless. It is rumored that this place is the end of the cosmic realms, and many had long wanted to enter to test it!
