Chapter 438 Timeline and Main Timeline
Wouldn't that be a bit too much?
After a brief silence.
Sword Master: “Yes, yes.”
Sword Master: “You can give it a try.”
Ba Zun: "Give me a thumbs up"
Dan Zu: "What a sin..."
Danzu: "I'll go too"
Qi Zun: "+1"
Hong Zun: “…”
These two are really...
Hong Zun: "Count me in, too."
Yuan Jun: "I'll go too."
Mei Zu: "Okay, then let's all go."
Almost everyone had this idea.
Ling Zu: "Okay, I'll go too."
Meizu: “Huh?!/Shocked”
Mei Zu: "You go too"
This was something she had not expected, or rather, other people in the group had not expected her to get involved in such matters.
After all, Ning Ruo is a real otaku who doesn't even join the group chat when he has nothing to do.
Lingzu: “Is there a problem?”
Meizu: "No.../Hesitant and timid"
Sword Ancestor: "Since we want to change the rules that have been set in advance, we still have to inform the sect leaders first."
Sword Master: "I'll take care of this."
The sect leaders have been busy preparing for this Immortal Sect Competition, and they can't just send their avatars in without saying anything.
So, two minutes later.
Inside the venue of the Immortal Sect Competition, seven Immortal Sect Masters were looking at the Mysterious Realm floating quietly in front of them, observing the situation of each contestant.
Du Ruoheng, Cheng Junming, and Qin Wei made a bet as usual.
The bet was on which disciple in the God Transformation Group would take first place, and the two losers had to call the winner "Dad".
He is so childish that he doesn't even look like the leader of an immortal sect...
In fact, it was just a gamble of some resources at the beginning, but Qin Wei, this low-quality and reckless man, had a very foul mouth, and eventually it became what it is now.
However, this "father and son game" is still quite intimidating, and the three of them are very nervous.
Especially Du Ruoheng and Cheng Junming.
Neither of them dared to think about how they would be ridiculed if they lost to Qin Wei.
As for Qin Wei, he was relatively calm. Being able to grow up in the environment of the Dragon Elephant Qingtian Sect and become the leader was a big deal to him...
Suddenly, the expressions of every sect leader changed slightly, as they heard Xu Xing's message.
The content was not too much, and after listening to it, everyone had a strange look on their face.
The ancestors...are ready to send their avatars into the world to train the contestants this time?
hiss~!
The younger generation really committed a sin this time.
……
……
Xuanxiang Realm, the second time branch.
Although it is a time branch, it is not real and can only be regarded as another possibility of the main timeline, a big dream.
But under the interference of the law of world evolution, the billions of living beings here also have their own set of logic in their actions.
Now, the participants of the Immortal Sect Competition are still unclear about whether the Patriarch will send in his avatar to have fun...
Cough!
It is to train the younger generation under your tutelage.
In short, although the leaders of the immortal sects have received the notice, there has been no movement from the Taixuan Immortal Network.
The world of cultivation, near the Sea of No Return.
Boom!
Amidst the thunderous roar, the pure sword light cut through the dawn and brought up gusts of biting north wind.
The entire [Sea of No Return] seemed to have ushered in a cold winter at this moment. The horribly low temperature caused the surging sea surface to solidify instantly, and a thick layer of solid ice continued to spread.
Soon, one after another, figures with stiff bodies and a layer of white frost all over their bodies fell from the sky like raindrops.
If you look closely, you can see that each of them is wearing a blood-red robe and has a red angry-eyed Vajra pattern tattooed on their head.
Looking up, I saw a slender figure in the night sky, holding a long sword with a blade as sharp as ice crystal, standing facing the moon.
The cold wind made the sword in his hand look even more intimidating and sharp.
It was Zhang Yunlu.
She was not like Chi Jiuyu, whose initial birth point was in the mortal world, but near the Blood Vajra Temple’s sect headquarters.
Because he couldn't stand the Blood Vajra Temple slaughtering ordinary people to collect "raw blood" to refine the body, he took out his sword and killed those people directly.
That’s right, there are also many ordinary people in the world of cultivation.
However, as long as you don't embark on the path of Taoism, you will be like a "consumable" and you don't know when you will die.
After that, Zhang Yunlu directly destroyed three halls of the Blood Vajra Temple that collected "raw blood" and a hall that cultivated the "original fetus" of infants.
Although her accumulation in all aspects and her progress in realm are not as good as Chi Jiuyu's, she especially likes to take risks, and her murderous nature is far stronger than Chi Jiuyu.
Then he was hunted down by the Blood Vajra Temple.
The team was led by seven 'Nascent Souls', as well as more than thirty 'Golden Cores' and more than seventy 'Foundation Buildings'.
Faced with this lineup, only Zhang Yunlu, who was in the late Jindan stage, decisively chose to escape.
however……
After being chased for a long time, she found that her "sense of danger" did not show any signs of being triggered.
Moreover, the speed of these people's escape is ridiculously slow...
At first, she thought they were deliberately slacking off, or maybe they were just a bunch of old bastards like the Tai Shang Dao Sect that her senior sister had mentioned.
But as I ran, I felt more and more that something was wrong.
So, in the end, she turned around and struck with a sword!
A large number of 'Nascent Souls' and 'Golden Cores' couldn't even withstand a casual blow from her sword.
"..."
Looking at the frozen sea, Zhang Yunlu was speechless.
Is this Yuanying?
It's almost the same as the general foundation building.
Those so-called 'golden elixirs' are only equivalent to the seventh level of Qi training, not to mention the 'foundation building', the third level of Qi training is the limit!
According to this calculation, wouldn't 'Transformation of the Spirit' be equivalent to the Golden Elixir? Then 'Return to the Void'...
Moreover, the power he can exert in this world is far greater than when he was in the Central Continent, and even surpasses the starry sky!
The plain sword light gradually dissipated...
"Oh? It's actually a piece of top-quality material?"
The sound shook the universe, and a bloody aura escaped from the void, covering the entire sky in an instant.
Boom!
Ferocious black lightning snakes were constantly moving around in it, like broken limbs floating in a sea of blood.
The strong smell of blood spread, carrying with it a terrifying power.
Nascent Soul?
Do not!
It's still one level higher, but hasn't reached the level of transformation!
A faint golden light flashed in Zhang Yunlu's eyes, and the hand holding the sword tightened a little.
In short, this is definitely not an opponent she can handle now.
In order to reflect the huge gap between the transformation into a spirit and the return to the void, the 'return to the void' in the time branch is naturally stronger.
Otherwise, what if you are easily defeated?
……
…when blood clouds covered the sky, enveloping the entire sky.
In the distance, a tall and strong figure quietly looked at Zhang Yunlu under the blood-red curtain.
"You want to rescue her?"
On the sturdy man's shoulder, there was a mechanical spider the size of a fingernail, and a specially processed electronic sound came out of it.
"Let's take a look first, just in case you don't need my help."
"..." After a moment of silence, the mechanical spider's eyes flickered faintly, "You are competitors."
As fellow contestants, even if they are from the same sect, they are competitors.
"You don't care about your ranking in the competition anymore?"
"It would be best if I could get a good ranking." The sturdy man stroked his shiny bald head, "But I have more important things to do."
If there were familiar people present, they would have discovered that this sturdy man was the physical cultivator who sneaked into Prince Dingnan’s mansion late at night and captured Prince Dingnan during the previous training in the Three Heavens Realm.
He was also one of the trial-takers who created the prototype of Qi and Blood Martial Arts and wanted to change the situation in the Three Heavens Realm and the human world.
I don't know why, but he is now bald instead of having thick black hair before.
And it is obvious that after finding out the basic information about this world, he wants to do something in this world.
"She destroyed three halls of the Blood Vajra Temple that collected 'blood' and one that cultivated 'primordial embryos'." The body cultivator murmured, and suddenly turned his head to look at the mechanical spider on his shoulder, "Do you know how to cultivate 'primordial embryos'?"
“……”The mechanical spider remained silent.
As a practitioner of the Supreme Taoist sect, he has a strong ability to gather information. He certainly knows how cruel the so-called cultivation of the 'original embryo' is.
"Hehe! An old bitch like you can't stand it anymore, right? I'm just like you, I can't stand this kind of thing!"
He was an abandoned orphan. If it weren't for the changes in the times brought about by Shenghuangyuan, which improved the overall social welfare, he would probably have died long ago.
Not to mention joining the Dragon Elephant Qingtian Sect.
Sheng Huangyuan... Ever since he learned about the relevant deeds from the textbook, he made up his mind to follow him.
"She's a loner, I'm afraid she won't cooperate with you."
This time the voice did not come from the spider on his shoulder, but from behind him.
Looking back, a young man in a gray Taoist robe with a purple vertical mark on his forehead appeared behind him at some point.
"True body?" The physical cultivator raised his eyebrows.
"..." Fa Xiu obviously didn't want to answer this question, "Taishang Daozong Liu Ming."
Concise and concise.
"Real name?"
Liu Ming: “…”
He now had doubts as to whether his decision to reveal his true identity was the right one.
"I am Sheng Wu from the Longxiang Qingtian Sect, nice to meet Junior Brother Liu." The body cultivator said solemnly.
I have become a junior fellow apprentice now...
Liu Ming was too lazy to argue with him. He walked forward and stretched out his hand to recall his mechanical spider, looking at Zhang Yunlu who was slashing at the blood cloud with a sword in the distance.
"You still have not answered my question."
Sheng Wu also looked into the distance: "It doesn't matter whether they will cooperate or not. She has destroyed the four halls of that stupid Vajra Temple, so I have to help her!"
If her opponent was any random contestant, he would not care at all, and might even ambush her in secret to see if he could reap the benefits.
But, she was being hunted down because she attacked with a sword, and Sheng Wu's heart would never allow him to stand by and watch.
This is a person who can always clearly know what he wants to do and will execute it unswervingly...
Liu Ming silently gave his evaluation in his heart.
Although many of the troublesome aspects are at the standard level of physical cultivation of the Dragon Elephant Qingtian Sect, it is undeniable that this is indeed a person worth making friends with.
At least, that's the case for Liu Ming.
When~
Along with a long and ancient sound that seemed to come from the depths of the world, the shadow of a balance emerged.
Soon, the voice coming from the City of No Return was filled with shock and anger, and the blood cloud that covered the sky suddenly converged.
After fighting with the bloody giant hand, Zhang Yunlu's breath weakened a lot. The sword light rolled up itself, turned into a long rainbow, and disappeared quickly.
"It seems I don't need your help." Liu Ming said.
Sheng Wu shrugged and didn't care.
"Let's go."
Then, the two turned around and walked away.
……
……
Meanwhile, the main timeline.
Far away from the [City of No Return], in the mountains outside the 'Miao City' under the jurisdiction of the Tianling Sect, shady trees cast shadows.
Lands without spiritual creatures have never been valued by the Tianling Sect.
Tianling Sect, Tianling Sect, only things with "spirituality" are valuable in the eyes of Tianling Sect.
The founder of Xuanqi said: "The spirit is the root of all things. If you can shepherd the spirit and serve yourself, and harmonize the heavenly path, you may become the master of the spirit."
As the birthplace of the "pastoral" tradition, it has promoted this doctrine to the extreme.
The Xuanxiang world is now in a special stage. Although the "spirit" is supreme and all things are treated like cattle and horses, all living beings still have a way to survive.
However, they have not yet come into contact with, or looked down upon, the "industrialization" of the mortal world.
If the two are combined and complement each other's strengths, it is likely that a terrifying and cruel system that Xuan Du has never thought of will be born.
In the mountains, in a newly dug cave.
Chi Jiuyu, who was covered in dust and dirt, was breathing and regulating his breath. There was a concealing formation set up around him, and the crystal-like formation base in front of him emitted a faint light.
This is an integrated formation.
The third generation of comprehensive aura concealing magic array in the Sword Sect's [Shadow Blade] series.
Through the latest psychic pattern recycling technology, the array patterns can be stored, and when they are needed, a trace of mana can be injected to activate them.
This eliminates the need to arrange formation nodes as in ancient times, and avoids the problem of formation nodes being easily destroyed.
Of course, this is just the low-end model.
The high-end ones even use the mustard seed-like technology, which is space technology.
It is said that the new generation of integrated formations can already incorporate a Return to Void level protective formation into a three-foot-sized formation base.
Prepared to be used for starry sky protection.
As for the city defense formations of various cities in the Central Continent, since they involve various functions such as regulating the softness of spiritual energy, mobilizing the earth veins, and adjusting the weather, they are not considered for replacement for the time being.
As for why Chi Jiuyu only brought low-end ones...
nonsense!
The Sword of Destiny cost her 700,000, leaving her with only 300,000 in starting capital, so of course she had to save a little...
The spiritual energy patterns of the formation covered all directions, concealing the flow of spiritual energy.
As Chi Jiuyu breathed in and out, his qi, which had been weakened a lot, was gradually recovering.
Until the sun sets in the west, a crescent moon appears in the distant sky, and stars appear in the night sky that gradually turns into blue-gray.
"Whoo~"
Chi Jiuyu exhaled a breath of foul air mixed with the smell of blood, then slowly opened his eyes, with golden flames flickering in his eyes.
"Damn it! I'll kill you sooner or later!"
She cursed under her breath and twisted her neck.
The reason why she was in such a mess was because of the Return to Void of the Blood Vajra Temple and the Tianling Sect.
She had originally cultivated a good method of hiding her spirit, which combined with the all-in-one formation she carried with her, although she could not defeat Fanxu, she could still dodge and avoid it.
only……
She really couldn't bear to see those ordinary people being treated as consumables!
The justice in the heart of Patriarch Jiuyu was burning, so how could he not draw his sword and help?
As a result, not only did Fanxu from the Blood Vajra Temple catch up with her, but Fanxu from the Tianling Sect also attacked her directly from tens of thousands of miles away.
A sneak attack, not the early stage of returning to the void like before.
If she hadn't understood something special and used the 'Balance of Time' on the two of them after she realized what was going on, they would have probably been beaten to death on the spot!
Sooner or later, she will blow up this world! (End of this chapter)
