Chapter Forty-Eight: Fire and Water
With the appearance of the crystal skeleton, runes emitting blue brilliance suddenly appeared on the inner wall of the coffin, and these runes resembled flowing water, giving people the illusion that time was rushing through a long river.
Although the past time cannot be reversed, it can be looked back along the river, allowing the "upstream scene" of the past to reappear for a short time.
For a while, wisps of blood grew out of thin air on the crystal corpse, and muscles, meridians, skin, hair, etc. also manifested one after another, and the entire corpse seemed to reverse time, allowing its own state to return to the state of the living.
Ye Shengqing just watched, but did not prevent all this from happening.
Until a naked man with a blurred face and surrounded by auspicious clouds sat up from the coffin.
The black-painted coffin emitted a burst of light, and the light condensed into a dark robe, and the embroidery on it was basically the same as the pattern depicted on the coffin, all of which were a few auspicious clouds against a bright white moon.
The man put on his robe and stood up from inside the coffin. His pair of eyes, which couldn't see the specific appearance clearly, but could feel the majesty in them, looked at the place where the old Taoist priest Yuan Shen finally dissipated, and said, "You killed my disciple?"
"Yes. Ye Shengqing admitted frankly that his eyes were as black as ink without the slightest emotional fluctuation, and he didn't think that a relic that reversed the long river of time and was reborn for a short time could have any impact on his plan.
The man in the dark color Taoist robe pinched his fingers and calculated silently, then nodded and said: "It's okay to die, my disciple's fate is too shallow, my obsession is too deep, and I still can't understand the word 'let go' after living for thousands of years. β
"I sense that the richest treasure of water transportation in this realm is in you, give it to me. Ye Shengqing didn't talk to the other party, and said straightforwardly.
The tone of the Mind Demon Venerable who controlled him was full of the meaning of a rightful superior, and he did not give corresponding respect at all because of the other party's mysterious Dao method of resurrecting from the dead.
There is only one reason, the Mind Demon Venerable does not know this Taoist priest.
Thinking of all the races in the universe, all those with extraordinary strength have been secretly paid attention to by the Mind Collector Demon Venerable, such as the unknown Taoist priest in front of him, and he doesn't need to give too much respect.
The Taoist priest seemed to guess the other party's thoughts, and said to Ye Shengqing: "The Demon Venerable doesn't know me, but I know the Demon Venerable." There is no water transport treasure here, only the seventh vertebrae of my relics, but it contains some water transport, and the Demon Venerable will take it away by himself if he wants to wait for it. β
Seeing that the other party was so easy to speak, Ye Shengqing nodded and didn't ask much, just waited for the "wait".
"There is no desire, there is nothing to do. Demon Venerable cultivates a good state of mind. The Taoist priest in the Xuanpao praised, and then he noticed the problem with his words, and corrected: "No, the Demon Venerable is the 'true spirit' born from the manifestation and condensation of the Great Dao, and he was born with such a state of mind, so why do you need to practice the day after tomorrow? β
Ye Shengqing suddenly spoke: "You, a Taoist priest, don't have the slightest intention of destroying demons?"
"If you have that kind of thought, I'm afraid that the Demon Venerable would have known me for a long time, and I only cultivated to cultivate a quiet and comfortable place, and to cultivate a great freedom from the sky and the earth to my own side. The Taoist priest said, pointing to himself, "I can not even give up this physical body, and I can't let go of the secular concept of 'eliminating demons and defending the way'." β
It was only at this time that the Mind Demon Venerable who was controlling Ye Shengqing became a little more curious about the Taoist priest in front of him, he controlled Ye Shengqing, and said in a sluggish and vicissitudes of life: "What is your name, where is your true body now? With your pursuit, it may be more suitable to abandon the path and join the demon to practice with me." β
The Taoist priest waved his hand, "I will be free with the Tao, so I won't bother the Demon Venerable." β
As he spoke, the flesh and blood on his body had begun to disintegrate and fall on its own, and the aura of being a living person quickly dissipated and faded.
"After all, this relic is going to return to the dead silence, and I hope that there will be no time after the Demon Venerable. After that, the Taoist priest's flesh and blood had basically fallen off, and the whole person lay back in the coffin, turning into a crystal skeleton again.
Ye Shengqing took a look into the coffin, and saw that the seventh spine counted from top to bottom was really a little different when he looked closely, this spine was crystal clear, and at the same time, there was a light blue liquid filling it.
Ye Shengqing stretched out his hand to hold the severed spine, and his wrist violently broke it off.
At this time, the light blue light that surrounded the entire skeleton poured into Ye Shengqing's hands, pouring into the seventh vertebra that had broken away.
"Seems right. Ye Shengqing played with this heavy treasure containing the richest water luck in this world twice, suddenly stretched out a finger, wrapped it with pitch-black demonic energy, and began to engrave a series of purple-colored runes on the spine in his hand.
If Lu Li was here, he would feel that this rune was a little familiar, very similar to the kind of rune on the stone giant sword that had been modified by the demonic qi itself, but it was not exactly the same.
......
On the Red Gobi Desert, some holes began to appear in the ground, some of which were as big as a dinner plate, some as small as eggs, and occasionally smoke came out of the holes, with a pungent smell of sulfur.
Ace carried a broken tail, walked with his head down, as if he was looking for something on the ground, and finally, he stopped in front of a hole as big as a water tank, which can no longer be called a "hole" in the big hole, the high temperature gas kept coming out, Ace wrapped himself in a gray and white robe, and jumped directly into it without hesitation.
The wind slowly descended, and what appeared in front of Ace's eyes was a scorching underground world.
The black-brown rocks, the "lake" made of magma, and the crimson fruit tree that grows in the magma are all that the underworld is made of.
Floating above the bubbling and exploding magma, Ace's inky eyes looked at the crimson fruit tree that fed the magma, and confirmed that it was the target he was looking forβthe treasure with the richest fire luck in the world.
The invisible sword qi surrounded Ace's body, but it burned with a "Teng" sound, and Ace was like a human-shaped pillar of fire, thinking about the location of the red fruit tree and flying away from the wind.
As we got closer to the fruit trees, the temperature of the surrounding air became hotter, and there were bursts of magma that surged on their own like life, slapping towards Ace as they passed.
Ace's sword qi all over his body was no longer enough to burn, and the gray robe on his body was also covered with a layer of flames, and there were many burning marks on his skin.
Faced with the churning magma, Ace threw his hand and tail downward, into the lake of flames made of pure magma.
The input of the broken tail makes the churning magma have a new target, like a wave, superimposed and wrapped on the broken tail.
The severed tail from the strange gecko was very fire-resistant, and it was only slightly scorched as it rolled in the lava lake, and Ace took the opportunity to speed up and landed like a fireball on one of the branches of the crimson fruit tree.
The blazing flames were still burning on Ace's body, and the orange-red flames floated towards a golden fruit at the top of the fruit tree branch, as if everything in the world was the nourishment of this golden fruit.
"It's it. β
Ace Yufeng approached, stretched out his right hand and grabbed the golden fruit.
As soon as he touched it, the skin of his palm was stained with a layer of burnt, and the oil under the skin was immediately ignited, burning every muscle and bone in his right palm.
Letting go at this time is a normal reaction that every creature makes, but Ace doesn't.
Temporarily occupied by the Mind Demon Venerable, he was not afraid of pain at all, but before his right palm was completely burned, he used his left finger to engrave one after another strange runes glowing with purple on the surface of the fruit.
As the flames ignited, Ace's right palm was completely incinerated, leaving only a little black ash scattered.
The golden fruit color lost its accent and fell into the bubbling and shattering lake of magma.
In the next second, the magma lifted the golden fruit like life, sending it back to the top of the fruit tree like a king who had sent them back to the throne.
The branches and fruits grew and connected again, and everything Ace had done seemed to be in vain.
But Ace didn't try any further, and moved away from the vicinity of the crimson fruit tree, heading towards the ground.
Engraved with the runes, the plan of the Mind Demon Venerable can be regarded as a success, and it does not matter whether the treasure is taken away or not, and who owns it.
......
In the depths of the primeval dense forest, a ten-zhang high stone gate stood tall, and the guardian of the Sword Sect, who was sitting on the top of the stone gate, scratched his ears and said to the empty people beside him: "'Fire' and 'water' have been taken care of? β
In his ears, a sluggish voice suddenly sounded: "To achieve the 'Five Elements Breaking Seal Array', you also need the heavy treasures of the two attributes of 'gold' and 'wood' that you are in charge of. β
The Sword Shrine Guardian said: "I don't know about the 'gold' heavy treasure, but as soon as I touch the 'wood' heavy treasure, the Sword Sect will immediately react, after all, this is also one of the prohibitions imposed on me." β
A sluggish voice that could not hide the vicissitudes of life responded: "Your series of heavy treasures must be left in the last step before activation, and I will naturally inform you at that time, and the day when the "Five Elements Breaking Seal Array" is formed, that is, when I fulfill my promise to let your soul return to oneness and regain freedom." β
"Okay! I'm looking forward to it. β
......
Above the Sword Sect, in the eternal and unchanging deep night, a thunderbolt suddenly exploded.
The electric light dissipated, and the burly figure of the Lightning Sword Saint appeared in the air, and below it was a small and gloomy house sealed with the "Blood Emperor Sword" and Lu Li.
The Lightning Sword Saint had already walked through the plane before Lu Li's ascension, and through the oral traditions of those ordinary people and countless rumors about Lu Li's "legend" in the martial arts, he had roughly figured out the life and deeds of Lu Li, the "Ascendant".
After making sure that there were no hidden dangers in that small plane, the Lightning Sword Saint decided to ask Lu Li openly and honestly, if the other party continued to choose to conceal it......
The Lightning Sword Saint didn't mind letting the Blood Emperor Sword have one more person to accompany the burial.
