Chapter 241: The Third Move and the Flaw
Chapter 241 The Third Move and the Flaw
The next moment, Kong Xuan immediately jumped out of the pavilion and landed next to Mou Zhenyuan.
Her brocade robe fluttered in the wind, and in her hand there was a gourd that was completely green, almost turning the entire courtyard into a pale green color.
Only then did Mou Zhenyuan come back to his senses and realize his change. He was stunned for a moment, his eyes widened, and he turned to look at the large square stele that he had thrown aside before.
Then he stretched out his right hand and made a sudden move, as if trying to call it back.
But the big square stele just trembled slightly, was pulled out from the ground, and then fell down with a clang!
The Sword Sect's Nascent Soul is known as the Hundred-mile Sword Immortal because the Yin Spirit can only leave the body a hundred miles away, so it is the Yin Spirit that controls the sword - if the Yin Spirit does not appear in the world of the living, ordinary people will only see a flying sword flying in the air.
But the Yuanying of the thirty-six sects is a false infant, and the Yin Spirit, like Zhou Ruixin before, has not condensed into a physical entity, but is just an illusory shadow. Therefore, it can only be separated to capture objects in mid-air, and its strength is limited.
It is not until the Yang God is born that this Yang God incarnation becomes indistinguishable from the original body and can display the Sword Sect's Nascent Soul's ability to fly through the air without being restricted by any restrictions of a hundred or a thousand miles.
But now, this big stele cannot be taken back!
Mou Zhenyuan had long realized that his internal energy had fallen to a lower level, but it was only at this moment that he felt that a nightmare had come true - he had practiced hard for more than a hundred years and reached the peak realm of Yang God, but returned to the Nascent Soul stage!
The fear that was like a landslide and the splitting of the earth overwhelmed his mind in the next moment and turned into incomparable anger and resentment!
"Kill! Kill him!" He was furious. He leaped to the side of the Dafang Monument, grasped the sword and pulled it out. He raised his hand to kill Li Wuxiang - who cares about the Sword Sect's Nascent Soul, his master, Jiang Jie, or the Lingshan Immortal... He didn't want to care about anything at this moment!
However, before the sword could be launched——
Kong Xuan beside her suddenly raised his right arm, and the green gourd in his palm flew above her head and hummed, and then he shouted: "Mou Zhenyuan! Do you dare to agree?!"
Mou Zhenyuan turned his head subconsciously and saw a mysterious light spurting out from the gourd and covering his whole body!
This time he finally calmed down - he knew how powerful the magic gourd of the Suhua Sect was. Now that he had reached the Nascent Soul stage, as long as he opened his mouth and agreed, his body would be taken away immediately!
He stood there in a daze, holding the large tablet in his hand, not daring to utter a single word. He just stared at Kong Xuan, as if silently asking - why! ?
After three breaths of stalemate, the mysterious light from the gourd above Kong Xuan's head gradually dimmed, so she reached out and grabbed the gourd again, saying in a deep voice: "Brother Mou, this is your third move - I will take it on behalf of Brother Li! Have you calmed down!?"
Mou Zhenyuan's chest heaved, and he gasped for breath: "You - answer it for him?!"
Kong Xuan stopped looking at him and turned to look at Li Wuxiang: "Daoyou Li, can this be considered as three moves?"
Li Wuxiang was originally standing steadily with his hands crushing the talisman paper. But after asking this question, she saw that the expression on Li Wuxiang's face was a little dazed, as if he was distracted and hesitated for a moment.
Are you hesitating whether to take action or not! ?
Or should he ask his master to make himself——
Kong Xuan immediately shouted to Kong Jingci, "Jingci, give me what you have! Fellow Daoist Li, there are more than just these six sects. I have some friendly sects with whom I will ask for you later. You are right. All thirty-six sects are the lineage of Taiyi Sect. The Great Tribulation Sword Scripture is the supreme magical skill of Taiyi Sect and the method by which our ancestor Donghuang Taiyi achieved the Golden Immortal... We believe you! Please verify it for us!"
After she said these words, she saw that Li Wuxiang seemed to have come back to his senses - he looked at Mou Zhenyuan, then at himself, and a smile appeared on his face as if he had been twitching for a long time and was forcing a smile.
This smile suddenly reminded Kong Xuan of what the disciples around him said to him when he first arrived today - Li Wuxiang is a very violent man with a very strange temperament... He looks easy to talk to, but no one knows what is thinking in his head.
She had never imagined that one day, she, the leader of the Suhua Sect and at the Yangshen realm, would have her heart skip a beat because of a smile from a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Then she saw Li Wuxiang smile again: "Oh, so the three moves are over?"
"Yes, fellow Daoist, you have taught Sect Master Mou three moves. Three moves have been passed."
Li Wuxiang looked at Mou Zhenyuan and asked, "What did Sect Master Mou say?"
Mou Zhenyuan stared at him. The anger that had just collapsed like a mountain and cracked the earth was suppressed by Kong Xuan's forbidden gourd. At this time, another three breaths had passed, and the fear behind the anger finally surged into his heart. Thousands of thoughts suddenly emerged in his mind... Jiang Jie, fake death, Donghuang Seal, You Jiuyuan, Thirty-Six Sects, Great Tribulation Alliance -
He felt that a huge conspiracy was about to be revealed, and it might be exactly the same as what he had guessed before, but he didn't have the energy to think about it now. All his energy was now used to calm himself down - after cultivating into the Yang God and becoming the leader of the Juque Sect, he hadn't felt so depressed in a long, long time since he felt like this!
“You——” Mou Zhenyuan held the hilt of the Dafangbei sword, feeling as if he was pinching his metacarpal bones and the hilt together, “You… have great skills. Great skills… You are worthy of being the Yuanying of the Sword Sect!”
"I didn't use the flying sword either." Li Wuxiang laughed, "I used the Ranshan Talisman. Look, am I right? I really don't need the sword sect's methods to deal with you."
Then his smile disappeared. He looked at Kong Xuan, then at Mou Zhenyuan, and shook his head: "Tsk tsk, we are of the same blood."
Kong Xuan held his breath, not wanting to react in any way, and just smiled at Li Wuxiang: "We, the Thirty-Six Sects, and the Sword Sect are also of the same blood. After all, this time the Great Tribulation Alliance was also because we, the Thirty-Six Sects, did not want to surrender to the Xuan Sect."
Li Wuxiang smiled and said nothing more. He turned to look at Kong Jingci and said, "Junior Sister Kong, would you like to stay here or come to my place and help me look at the fragments in your hand? Since it is handwritten, I am afraid that I am not sure about some of the words."
Kong Jingci was still in a daze. It was not until Li Wuxiang called her again that she woke up as if from her dream and went to see Kong Xuan.
Kong Xuan closed his eyes and said, "Go ahead."
After a slight hesitation, he softened his voice and said, "Whenever you want to come back, come back and see me."
Li Wuxiang turned around and said, "Let's go."
Kong Jingci moved his feet where he was, but still bit his lip and followed.
Both of them flipped over the wall. Kong Xuan listened to their footsteps gradually fading away, and immediately frowned and looked at Mou Zhenyuan: "Senior Brother Mou, what happened just now!?"
Mou Zhenyuan took a deep breath and sneered, "What's going on? Why, do you want to help Jian Zong teach me three more moves now?"
"Brother Mou!" Kong Xuan shouted in a low voice, "Control your temper! If I hadn't attacked you just now, could you have taken the third move? What was that thing in Lingshan?"
Mou Zhenyuan was silent for a long time, then he loosened his grip and the large stele fell to the ground. He then slowly walked to the side of the pavilion, turned around and sat down on the foundation stone.
After a while of silence, he said, "Thank you for what you did just now." But Kong Xuan still frowned, "Now is not the time to thank you - what was that thing you just fought with? Are you trying to drive me crazy!?"
"It might be Jiang Jie."
"Jiang Jie?!"
"That thing has human destiny. Li Wuxiang also said that it was his master...it should be Jiang Jie." Mou Zhenyuan paused here, closed his eyes slightly, and opened them again after a while, "I...I'm afraid I'm useless. My soul was knocked down by that thing..."
"Brother Mou, your cultivation journey has not been smooth sailing. What will happen in the future——"
Mou Zhenyuan said with a wooden face: "I am really going smoothly. Alas, my smooth sailing is nothing compared to the Sword Sect..."
"Mou Zhenyuan!" Kong Xuan shouted.
Mou Zhenyuan came back to his senses, "Oh, okay... It's Jiang Jie. Don't you want to know? He may have practiced the Great Tribulation Sword Sutra. The master Li Wuxiang mentioned should be Jiang Jie. He said that Jiang Jie's practice went wrong. I think maybe that mistake... a mistake... You said, if Jiang Jie really cultivated to become a true immortal, he could stay in the Yang world, right? But why did he run to the Holy Mountain? Is this what he meant by the mistake? Because of what happened, his physical body is gone?"
Kong Xuan looked at him and realized that Mou Zhenyuan was really useless.
This was the first time she had seen a human soul being knocked out, but now she saw that it was not just about causing a person's realm to fall, but it was also about the cause and effect of this life. Once the human soul was gone, Mou Zhenyuan seemed to have changed completely - his thoughts were scattered and his mind was dejected. He was no longer the man who used to be domineering but decisive.
She just stared at him and listened to him mumbling to himself before she slowed down her tone and asked, "What method did Jiang Jie use in Lingshan?"
"Methods..." Mou Zhenyuan shuddered as if he couldn't help hearing this. "He first forced my Yang Soul into reincarnation... and made me reincarnate into a beast... a pig. But I forced myself out."
Kong Xuan took a deep breath in his heart - what Mou Zhenyuan said about "receiving the destiny of humanity" seemed to be true!
"Brother, you have achieved the level of Yang God after all. To have achieved Yang God is to have transcended the Three Realms and is no longer in the Five Elements. If his methods can't do anything to you, you should be proud of yourself."
But when he heard the word "Yang Shen", Mou Zhenyuan sighed again: "Alas, it's a pity that it's not the same now. After that... my human soul was knocked down."
"How did you get it down?"
Mou Zhenyuan was silent for a long time before he said, "My human soul... I remember that it should be reincarnated as a baby girl."
Kong Xuan was stunned when he heard this. He frowned and thought carefully: "Brother Mou... what you did... maybe it's not entirely a bad thing."
Just as Mou Zhenyuan was about to speak, Kong Xuan raised a finger and said, "Let me think about it. Something is wrong."
She paced for two steps, then suddenly stopped and stared at Mou Zhenyuan: "Jiang Jie may not be as powerful as we think!"
"Think about it, if he really became an immortal, why would he hide in the sacred mountain? Li Wuxiang said that something went wrong in his practice, so it seems to be true. He really did succeed, and he really received the good fortune of humanity, but he is definitely not an immortal!"
"You said he stayed in the sea of blood in Lingshan? Then he didn't dare to go to the upper heaven of Lingshan! Because there are stronger wild gods and true spirits there, as well as the great emperor true spirits of the six Xuan sects! Brother Mou, what would happen if you and I reached this level? We should be hiding well... Didn't Jiang Jie fake his death just to hide his whereabouts?"
"But just now he had to use the means of human destiny to deal with your Yang Shen. He is strong, but what does that prove? Think about it!"
Mou Zhenyuan was stunned for a moment, and after a long while he frowned and muttered to himself: "He...his method..."
Kong Xuan sighed, "He can only use this method to deal with you! He can only deal with you in Lingshan! If there is any other way, he will not use this method - if he did, now we have guessed what kind of situation he is and who he is, right?! Brother, you just made a mistake - if I guessed correctly - you should not have gone to Lingshan! Otherwise, with the cultivation of the two of us Yang Gods... Even if Jiang Jie was invited by Li Wuxiang, what would be so scary? We can fight to the death!"
Mou Zhenyuan opened his mouth, then stood up suddenly: "Yes... yes! He couldn't do anything to my Yang Shen in Lingshan... He couldn't do anything to my Yang Shen, so he dealt with my Human Soul! He couldn't do anything, so he picked up a weak person to bully... If I had known his methods earlier and set up a forbidden magic array around me, I might not... might not... Alas! Alas!! Alas!!!"
Kong Xuan looked at him quietly and sighed three times before lowering his voice: "But these are just our guesses now."
"If Jiang Jie really had a problem with his training and could not stay in Yangshen and had to go to Lingshan, then everyone in the Sword Sect should understand that his luck is about to end."
"Jiang Jie is the most powerful Yang God in the world. It is because of him that the few people in the Sword Sect can stay safely outside the diocese. So they should also know that Jiang Jie is gone, and this matter cannot be concealed. So just let the news out and give up You Jiuyuan."
"That is the current situation - the Xuan Sect has left the diocese, and our thirty-six sects have to organize this Great Tribulation Alliance in order to protect ourselves. Once the Great Tribulation Alliance is formed, we will replace the Sword Sect and become the new opponent of the Xuan Sect, and the disciples of the Sword Sect will have a chance to catch their breath."
"That's why Li Wuxiang went to the Great Tribulation Mountain... He wanted to be the Sect Master in order to control us and use us as a shield!"
Mou Zhenyuan clenched his fist and smashed it against his palm: "Yes! That's the truth! It's just as I thought!"
"But we are still guessing about these - whether Jiang Jie can't come to the world of the living, and whether he can only stay in Lingshan." Kong Xuan was silent for a moment, then smiled, "So Brother Mou, you don't have to sigh. Only you and I know about what happened in the courtyard today -"
After hearing this, Mou Zhenyuan turned to look outside the yard.
Kong Xuan suddenly raised his hand, and the emerald green gourd flew silently into the air - there was not even any gasping or screaming. More than a dozen streaks of blood flew over from all directions and were collected into the gourd.
——The people outside the courtyard were all the attendants brought by Mou Zhenyuan. His face turned pale and he glared, but he only gasped and said nothing.
"Li Wuxiang has a perverse temperament and acts recklessly. But that also allowed us to discover his flaws - today's time is not over yet, and the matter is not over yet. Brother, there is still the Great Sword Master Mou Donglie on the Great Tribulation Mountain, right? He should be about to produce his Yang Shen, right? Then tonight, let's go meet Li Wuxiang again - we will be fully prepared, let Mou Donglie take action first, and I will hold the fort, to see if Jiang Jie's true spirit can come to this world, and whether he can do anything to my Yang Shen!"
