Chapter 130 The Ultimate
Chapter 130 The Ultimate
Since the battle in Xuandu a hundred years ago, there has been no more Yuhua death in the world.
Taoist Yingxu is the first one in this hundred years.
It is difficult for the world not to be noisy about this.
Countless meetings were urgently convened for this purpose, some in the brightly lit hall, some in a secret room with only a few people, and some on top of a snowy cliff... None of the powerful and famous people in the world kept themselves out of it.
Even the other strongest people in the world who were in the Yuhua realm reacted to this, not to mention ordinary practitioners.
It is said that on the day when the White Emperor fell into Yunmengze, the number one swordsman in Yishui, who was sitting in a wheelchair, stayed up all night looking at the stars without blinking once.
It is said that the two great Zen masters had a candlelight discussion about this issue.
The Taoist sect seems to be silent and dares not speak, but everyone knows that the master of Qingjing Temple has sorrow in his eyes and his wrinkles are as deep as old tree roots.
Needless to say, the Emperor of Qi was so worried about this that he was ready to send a hostage to the capital to demonstrate his loyalty.
The Qin people were very disdainful of the emperor's reaction. They believed that if the Qin Dynasty really decided to destroy the Southern Qi, it would not need to use those magical means at all. The heavily armored black cavalry would be able to crush it directly.
Only a very few people knew why the king of Southern Qi was so flattering.
Because Qi State had connections with the Tianming Sect.
……
……
“The situation is worse than we thought.”
Taoist Chang Yu looked very unhappy, and said to Gu Zhuo, "It seems that the ruler of Southern Qi wants to divide up our sect directly."
Not long ago, a secret letter was delivered to the carriage, and he opened and read it personally.
This letter describes in detail the Southern Qi court's views on the Tianming Sect. It was obviously from the hands of one of the participants, who was a confidant buried by the old man next to the monarch who could transform into an assassin at any time.
Gu Zhuo said calmly: "This is actually good news. At least Nanqi will be relatively quiet during this period of time."
Taoist Chang Yu was stunned, thinking he had heard wrongly, and asked in disbelief, "Why?"
"Because he has to at least get Pei Jinge's nod of agreement first."
Gu Zhuo said, "Then this matter will have to be submitted to the Empress' desk. After receiving her approval, it is possible that the White Emperor will be asked for his opinion. This process will take a month no matter how fast it is completed. If it is delayed a little, it will take half a year."
Taoist Changyu's first reaction when he heard this was that it was really ridiculous, but then he realized that this was very likely to be the reality that was about to happen, and he simply stopped laughing.
For a long time afterwards, there was no sound in the carriage.
In the evening, the carriage finally stopped at the highest point of Wudu Mountain outside Chaozhou City.
Gu Zhuo walked out of the car and looked into the distance.
The setting sun cast a sunset glow in the sky, and the sea seemed to be on fire, burning with an incomparably brilliant red light.
Hundreds and even thousands of seabirds fly in the sky, sometimes landing without touching the sea surface, and sometimes taking off and returning to the misty clouds, just like the pen in the hands of a poet who lacks inspiration.
And at the forefront of all this is a stone tower.
From the perspective of its design, there is really nothing special about this stone tower; it is quite ordinary.
The only special thing is that it looks brand new, and there is no moss left by time on the tower, which easily reminds people of the old monks.
If Taoist Yingxu had not made it clear before his death, who would have thought that this was the world-famous Sansheng Tower?
Gu Zhuo pushed the door open and walked in.
Taoist Changyu watched his disappearing back, not knowing whether to pray or something else, and became inexplicably nervous.
The windows inside the stone tower were not closed, so the sea breeze could flow in and dispel the stuffiness.
Gu Zhuo walked on the narrow stairs inside the stone tower, occasionally looking outside, but most of the time he was climbing up the steps.
It was not until he reached the seventh floor, the highest point, that he stopped walking because he had nowhere to go. The space here was a little cramped, but fortunately the window was always open, and there was nothing inside the tower, so it didn't feel too uncomfortable.
Gu Zhuo stood in the middle, thinking about something.
I don’t know whether it was to prevent Taoist Changyu from having rebellious intentions, or for some other reason.
In short, on the day of his death, the old man only told people the location of the Sansheng Tower, but did not say how to take away this treasure on earth that was like a token of the leader of the Tianming Sect.
Gu Zhuo walked through the seven floors of the stone tower one after another. There was nothing stored in each floor, as if it had been carefully looted by passing naughty children or thieves. The stone tower itself did not emit any breath, just like a dead object.
This was certainly not the case where Taoist Changyu was deceiving his superiors and subordinates and deliberately looking for a stone tower to fool him, nor was it the case that the old man decided to play a terrible joke on him at the end of his life.
There is only one explanation for why the Sansheng Tower looks like this.
At this moment, it is in its previous life.
Gu Zhuo closed his eyes and thought.
……
……
Just like before the summer festival, the Astronomical Surveyor would rank all the candidates in the world.
Many years ago, the rather mysterious Lord had personally written several lists, ranking the people and things living in this world and giving his own evaluation.
Among them, the list for humans is named Ascension to Heaven, and the meaning is very clear, that is, the strongest person in the world who has attained immortality.
This is naturally an act to avoid taboos.
At first, people in the world mocked this Lord, thinking that since he had made this list and let nine great figures in the Yuhua realm, including himself, escape from it, this neither-up nor-downward attitude was really disgusting.
It was not until later that the Sky Patrol issued another list, the List of Supreme Objects.
This list clearly records what the nine people who have attained enlightenment rely on, and the positions of each of them are quite subtle, not entirely dependent on their own strengths. Therefore, it is regarded by many people as the ranking of the nine people who have attained enlightenment.
The Taoist treasure, the Morning and Evening Bell, held by the Taoist master, ranked second on the list of the most precious objects. It was highly praised by the chief as being mysterious and unparalleled, with the ability to change the world.
In fact, in the eyes of many people, the Morning and Evening Bell is fully qualified to be placed in the first place, tied for first place with the Heavenly Dao Seal in the hands of His Majesty the Emperor, because the Taoist Master once held this bell to fight against four people alone and did not lose the upper hand.
If it were not for this reason, if countless facts in the past had not been telling of the greatness of the Morning and Evening Clock, why would the Wan family have made such a move?
The most precious treasure of Zen Buddhism, Yuanmiejing, is located third.
The solemn and cold iron spear named All Living Beings in the hands of Her Royal Highness the Princess is in the fourth place.
Yi Shui's flying sword, which has been passed down for thousands of years, is ranked sixth.
Taoist Yingxu has been walking on the earth for sixty years and is known as the number one magician in the entire cultivation world. Naturally, the Sansheng Tower has a very high position on the list of supreme objects - eighth.
For some reason, the head of the Sky Patrol Department had clearly fought a life-and-death battle with the old man in the far northern wilderness, but he was somewhat secretive about this treasure that was almost a divine weapon and did not give a very detailed comment on it.
To be precise, there are only four words in the comment.
Unpredictable.
……
……
When Gu Zhuo opened his eyes again, he had to admit that these four words were correct.
The scenery outside the stone tower is changing.
In a blink of an eye, the world changes dramatically.
