Prologue: The Origin of the Legend
Legend has it that there are gods in the sky. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info immortals dwell in the thirty-three days. Legend has it that above the Thirty-Three Days Realm, there is also a place outside the heavens, where there are ten of the strongest artifacts. Legend has it that it was an artifact that had been used to protect Jiuzhou since the Age of the Gods, in order to prevent the invasion of the Demon Realm. Legend has it that these artifacts have cultivated hundreds of billions of merits in the lower realm, and they have directly ascended from the lower realm to the outer heavens without catastrophe or suffering. Legend has it that these artifacts possess the power that even the Emperor of Heaven fears, and even the Emperor himself does not dare to admit that he is their master, and he can only use the rules of the Heavenly Realm to restrain them. Legend, which is also a legend, is not quiet these days......
Clouds, yellow drifting clouds with golden margins, floated gently in the gray void. Here, it's a weird world: those clouds, without wind, float slightly. Without the sun, the whole day is bright. Unlike the continents that are commonly known, the continent here is not surrounded by azure waters and floats in the void. The fragrance that fills the air here is not a refreshing fragrance, but a faint and slightly solemn sandalwood fragrance. This is the place where the legendary Outer Heaven, the so-called Ten Great Artifacts, exists.
The legendary ten ancient artifacts are: the gate of the heavenly realm - the Donghuang Bell, the strongest power - Xuanyuan Sword, shuttle Taixu - Pangu axe, refining all things - refining demon pot, absorbing stars and changing the moon - Haotian Tower, manipulating the mind - Fuxi Qin, refining the immortal medicine - Shenlong Ding, the source of immortality - Kongtong Seal, time shuttle - Kunlun Mirror, resurrection and regeneration - Nuwa Stone. These ten great artifacts have been in the world for thousands of years, and the people who hold them are the elites of all dynasties and generations. Although with their strength, they could have ascended to the heavenly realm long ago, but they seemed to prefer all kinds of human beings. It is precisely because of this that they left a lot of legends of life and death in that world.
They really don't want to leave the human world, because they exist to protect the human world. But as the master of the Heavenly Realm, the Heavenly Emperor did not want such a force that could confront him to be left in the Human Realm. So, he took them all up and sent them directly to the outer heavens.
“…… Xu is not ordered by the emperor, but he must stay in the heavenly realm. If it weren't for Emperor Xu, it would not be in vain from the Nether Realm...... a heavenly decree blessed by all the immortals in the heavenly realm, sealing them in the outer heavens, so that they would never have anything to do with the human world.
Immortals and gods are made of people. However, people have become immortals, but they have fallen into a ruthless personality. Life is like a dream, and a hundred years is a lifetime. This is just a short moment for the immortals who have already lived for tens of millions of years.
Because he was afraid that the power of the human artifact would threaten him, he recycled the artifact, and never thought about what would happen to Jiuzhou, who lost the protection of the artifact, and the immortals who had practiced for thousands of years in vain were also selfish. They don't seem to be any different from ordinary humans except that they are stronger and have a longer lifespan. Even emotionally, they are inferior to the average human being.
For such immortals, the artifacts always despise them very much. It is believed that they are not only inferior to the first generation of great gods, but also inferior to the human beings they recognize.
Although they had the power to rebel against the Celestial Realm, they eventually obeyed the Celestial Realm's orders. They didn't want Jiuzhou to become the target of the Demon Realm and the object of disgust from the Heavenly Realm at the same time. So, after seeing Zhang Juzheng's efforts to make the country rich and powerful, they left.
They agreed with the Celestial Realm that from this moment on, the Celestial Gods would not interfere in the affairs of Jiuzhou in vain, and could only aim to prevent the Demon Realm. Because, they have the power in their hands that even the Heavenly Emperor is afraid of, so this agreement cannot be disobeyed by the Heavenly Realm.
Without the threat of the Demon Realm, the empire on Jiuzhou was so rich and powerful, they thought that this was almost the case. After all, in their opinion, a rich and powerful country is something that no one dares to provoke. It was undoubtedly a giant dragon, a giant dragon entrenched in the east, which could shock the world even if it shook its body slightly.
However, things did not turn out as they thought: the Ming Empire, which Zhang Juzheng had propped, collapsed within a few decades of his death. Outside the customs, the Jurchens, who belonged to the same ability, entered the customs again, and once again established the Qing Dynasty ruled by a minority.
The sea, which was originally open, was artificially blocked. The dragon closed its eyes and allowed the sharks around it to devour the space around it.
It was definitely a very bad decision. People who have never seen the world are always prone to becoming short-sighted and arrogant. Countries that have not seen the world are more likely to become backward, ignorant, and ignorant.
Even though they were dragons, even though they used to laugh proudly, they now closed their eyes and fell weak in their sleep. For such a weak dragon, the sharks around him always have bad intentions. They opened their mouths and bit down hard at the dragon's body. Finally, the dragon's blood flowed for a long time.
In the hundreds of days in the heavens, I saw that the people of Jiuzhou had suffered such a great calamity. All the artifacts couldn't help but feel a little remorseful in their hearts. However, at this moment, the agreement with the heavenly realm has been completed, and they who pay attention to faith and righteousness are naturally not good to violate it casually. But if they don't violate it, they see the misery of the nether, and their hearts ache. Under such a vicious circle, they became more and more depressed, and had to spend their days fighting. After all, they all live in the high realm of the outer heavens, and they are characters who listen to the tune and do not listen to the announcement, even if they are as strong as the Emperor of Heaven, they cannot distribute things to them. They were boringly tight at the time.
When you're bored, you have to find something to do! Otherwise, the hearts of the big guys will be cold, and they will become the same as those ruthless immortals.
So, the Ten Artifacts decided to have a friendly match. Both those who are willing to participate and those who are unwilling to participate are divided into three groups on both sides: with Xuanyuan Sword, Pangu Axe, Haotian Tower, and Kongtong Seal as one side; With the demon refining pot, Fuxiqin, Shennong Ding, and Kunlun mirror as a faction; Then let Donghuang Zhong and Nuwa Shi be the referees, and immediately wanted to divide the high.
Although it's just a friendly game, on the surface, it says "it doesn't matter if you win or lose, friendship comes first, competition comes second", but everyone is an artifact, and the arrogance of being an artifact is naturally unwilling to admit defeat casually. It's just that because everyone's strength is very strong, in order to avoid the destruction of the entire heavenly realm, they don't dare to use ten ten-point strength to compete. So the two sides agreed that they could only use three points of force at most.
However, an artifact is an artifact, and when you try it, the sky is dark, and everything is turned into ashes. Not to mention the flowers and plants in the outer heavens, even the arduous Outer Heaven Continent made them tremble, causing the immortals of the Thirty-Three Days Realm to look at each other uneasily, wondering if something great had happened to the Outer Heavens. They were always a little uneasy about the power of the artifacts.
Let's look at the competition outside the sky, everyone has fought one by one for dozens of days. Although it was not your decision to make me live, but it was also a little superior. Right now, it's the turn of the Xuanyuan Sword against the Kunlun Mirror.
Just listen to the order of the Eastern Emperor Bell, and the competition begins.
The two sides quickly floated, standing on two sides, and conjured into their own figures. Xuanyuan Sword was conjured up from this side, but it was an old man, with white hair and white beard and red light, and his momentum was as dignified as Yuanzhi, quite like a swordsmanship master. And what appeared on the Kunlun mirror was a handsome man in a green shirt, with a tall figure and a majestic momentum, his eyes were different golden-eyed demon pupils on the left and right, and there was a bright red heavenly eye between his eyebrows.
Seeing this, Xuanyuan Jian smiled lightly in the Kunlun Mirror: "If you talk about the characters with the thickest intersection and the deepest entanglement among the ten major artifacts, it is not you, me and Brother Hu." You should know how much strength I have, so I think this competition should be left at that. Your power is used to change cause and effect, and this is not your forte. ”
Although this is true, since he has already stood on this competition field, how can he easily admit defeat. Kunlun Mirror didn't want to be the first person among the ten major artifacts to flee without a fight. At that moment, he said very indifferently: "Brother Hu's strength is not as good as yours, and he has been defeated and defeated repeatedly, and his ambition is already like this." What's more, you and I haven't really played each other, so how can you easily conclude that you can win? I'm not good at fighting, but I do have a life-saving skill. Brother Jian, let's have a good game. ”
"That's fine!" Xuanyuan Jian saw that Kunlun Mirror didn't want to give up, so he also nodded and promised. I saw a flash of light in his hand, but it was a sword that turned into a sword by itself. The current battle is not a life-and-death situation, the most important thing is that the two sides fight skillfully and play well. Xuanyuan Sword has swordsmanship in his memory, and he himself has already reached the situation of using his body as a sword, but at this moment, he doesn't need such a high-level thing to deal with a mirror who is not good at fighting. Naturally, he had to turn on a sword to fight.
The sword had been formed, Xuanyuan Sword took a step back, staggered his legs, leaned forward slightly, and his whole body suddenly bowed. He raised his sword diagonally above his head, but he slashed forward without making a move, and the sword in his hand stabbed straight towards the Kunlun mirror like a cannonball. With his familiarity with the Kunlun Mirror, he naturally knew that this mirror did not use transfiguration weapons, but he did not leave any preparation for it. He said that he would fight, but in the blink of an eye, he stabbed the sword in front of Kunlun Mirror.
What a fast sword! This seems to be true to others. But for the Kunlun Mirror, which can control time, although this sword is fast, it is only averagely fast. He dodged slightly to one side.
However, this dodge seemed to have been expected by Xuanyuan Sword for a long time, only to see that the trajectory of its sword blade changed, and it actually met the figure of Kunlun Mirror at an unpredictable angle, entangled with the vital point that shrouded him.
For such an unpredictable sword, Kunlun Mirror is not good at it. He felt the thorn behind him, but he could only shake his body again to avoid it. For a moment, the figures of the two suddenly accelerated. Xuanyuan Sword stabbed desperately behind him, trying to catch up with Kunlun Mirror, but he was always a little bit behind. Although the speed of his Xuanyuan Sword was also fast, it was still a little worse than the Kunlun Mirror, which ranked second in speed among the top ten artifacts.
In this way, the chase gradually turned into two rays of light, one gold and one green, running around the entire Outer Heaven Continent. It's fun to run on their side, but it's boring for the people watching below.
"Hey! It's a joust! It's not a race, don't you two feel dizzy when you two spin so fast? Nuwashi, who had transformed into a woman, questioned them loudly. Although these words were definitely issued by a layman, and they did greatly sweep the face of the first two people, they never dared to have the slightest objection to Nuwa Shi. After all, she is the little sister among them and their pistachio. They don't want to cause public outrage among others.
"Oh......" The two could only respond stubbornly, slowed down their bodies, and pulled up a distance again to face each other.
"It's time for a trick! It's only three days, we can't play for too long. Xuanyuan Jian laughed, his white beard that reached his chest and abdomen trembled slightly, and a momentum that was enough to make the people of the world worship waved out from his body.
"Break a thousand troops!?" Kunlun Jing exclaimed in surprise, and there was a faint twitch on his handsome and young face. With such a momentum, how could he not be familiar with the Kunlun Mirror, thinking that when he was still in the Nether Realm, there was a time when he Kunlun Mirror held the sword and issued this move.
Breaking a thousand troops is really a crazy move. Its move is as the name suggests, a sword can not only destroy thousands of troops, even if it is ten thousand troops, hundreds of millions of troops are no longer a problem. It was a blow that released the powerful power of the Xuanyuan Sword itself in a short period of time, and because of the short time it was played, it was difficult to grasp the power of this blow.
"Are you crazy?" Kunlun Jing's expression was a little strange, "It's just an ordinary game." ”
"Maybe! But at this moment, I have the urge to vent one side. Xuanyuan Jian shouted: "I am angry when I think of the bird rules of this heavenly realm." He roared, slashing the sword out.
For this move, he Xuanyuan Sword himself also has a hard time, everyone knows that this move is his Xuanyuan Sword's unique skill, but no one knows that this move is actually a way for Xuanyuan Sword to vent his remaining strength. The reason why the Xuanyuan Sword has the title of the strongest power is that when it was first refined, Emperor Xuanyuan added a spirit gathering array to him. Because of the existence of the Spirit Gathering Array, Xuanyuan Sword could absorb the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi into his body anytime and anywhere, thus qualifying him as the strongest force for a long time. But if it is full, it will be full and the power gathered will also need to be volatilized, otherwise too much and too much power will be gathered together and it will be easy to damage your body. This is something that Xuanyuan Jian himself does not want to see. So, he used tactics similar to the Broken Thousand Army in battle again and again, so that his excess power could be unleashed and returned to heaven and earth.
This is Xuanyuan Sword's own secret, and no one else knows about it except Emperor Xuanyuan. Even a few people who are also the top ten artifacts don't understand. They only knew that Xuanyuan Sword had such a trick called "Breaking a Thousand Army", and its power was so great that Xuanyuan Sword himself was not easy to control.
At this moment, the sword move was issued. Suddenly, I saw a golden crescent moon rushing towards the Kunlun Mirror. It was too fast, and Kunlun Jing couldn't resist it after estimating it himself. So, he had to fight with his own tricks.
The cyan light flashed from the Kunlun Mirror's body, and under his mind, it condensed into a mirror with a hazy green mist. It was the thing that Kunlun Mirror condensed with its own strength, and it was also a necessary product for him to play his tricks. As the words "Water Moon Heart Mirror" came out of his mouth solemnly. The blue mirror became extremely clear when it landed, like a shield in front of the Kunlun mirror. It seems that the Kunlun mirror wants to block hard.
But can such a thin mirror block the invincible army of breaking thousands of troops? Don't say that Xuanyuan Jian didn't believe it, even the other people watching the battle around him didn't believe it. In their opinion, Kunlun Mirror is lost, and the posture he put on is just a final futile resistance.
But something strange happened. The golden power that touched the green mirror did not succeed in smashing the green mirror, but it really turned around in one direction as if someone had dialed it and swung it towards the Xuanyuan sword again.
"Is it a reflex?" Seeing such a change, everyone was amazed. They seemed to understand why Kunlun Mirror was so fearless just now.
For ordinary people, there are two worlds inside and outside the mirror, but for the immortals with great magical powers, is there really such a strict distinction between the void in the mirror and the reality outside the mirror? They are completely capable of turning the virtual into the real and the real into the virtual. Although it may consume a lot of immortal power, what is this kind of immortal power for an artifact like the Kunlun Mirror?
Xuanyuan Sword used the Broken Thousand Army to attack the Kunlun Mirror, but he didn't want the Kunlun Mirror to have its own reflective stunt, so it reflected back most of the force that the Xuanyuan Sword struck. I couldn't help but be surprised at the moment, after all, I had never encountered such a change before. However, an accident is an accident, and we must first figure out how to deal with it.
Dodging, it's absolutely impossible. Xuanyuan Jian thought that his speed was under the Kunlun Mirror, and even the Kunlun Mirror couldn't dodge, so how could he. For the sake of today's plan, I can only forcibly resist. I've never encountered anything like this, but I can still do it with my own strength to resist my own strength. Thinking of this, Xuanyuan Sword swung again, and won with the same move.
"Rumbling...... Long ...... "The two golden crescents intersected and struck together, and there was a loud thunderclap around the entire outer sky. They were intertwined with each other, and for a while they were evenly matched.
Seeing that this method seemed to be feasible, Xuanyuan Jian immediately relieved his heart. The biggest crisis for him has disappeared for the time being, and now it seems that all he needs to do is get this thing in front of him out of here.
But here comes the problem again. How to solve this thing in front of you. Let them disappear in the collision with each other? This seems unlikely. Otherwise, the collision just now should be able to do it. However, the facts of the confrontation before us are clearly here, and it is clear that it is impossible to solve the problem by impact.
"Then ......" Xuanyuan Jian's mind moved, and he suddenly came up with an idea. He found the Pangu Axe who was watching the battle on the side, and said with a little humility: "Brother Axe, can you please perform the skill of shattering the void and throw this thing of mine into another space through an opening?" This thing is tricky right now. ”
"What do you think? You think this other space is a garbage dump where you can litter casually, huh? Rolling his eyes, the Pangu Axe, which had transformed into a Chinese character for a beard, was about to refuse in his deep voice. After all, what he knew very clearly about was that the so-called alien space was the universe in which human beings existed, but the longitude and latitude of time were different from the current place. He was afraid that the changes he had caused on his side would affect other spaces.
"Wait!" It also transforms into an old man's demon refining pot opening. He is the most scheming of the ten artifacts. Seeing his eyes constantly wandering now, everyone understood what he thought of from the one in front of him.
"Hey, hey! I have a better opinion on this! He smiled strangely, as if he had discovered something funny.
"Getting to the point!" All eyes were on him.
"Don't worry, don't worry!" The Demon Refining Pot seemed to be an old god: "Do you know that this Nether has now invented something called 'network'? ”
"I don't understand. Is that delicious? Or is it fun? The crowd shook their heads and looked at each other. Ever since they got the news of the terrible calamity suffered by the people of Kyushu in the Nether Realm in the Ethereal Exploration Mirror of the Outer Heavens, they were so heartbroken that they didn't pay much attention to this, and they didn't know what kind of changes had taken place in the Nether Realm now. At this moment, I suddenly heard this demon refining pot that had been paying attention to the next session, and I suddenly felt a little confused.
"What a bunch of hillbillies." The demon refining pot, which thought it was fashionable, muttered quietly, but still had to explain to his brothers: "It is a carrier for spreading and exchanging information, and because the information it transmits is huge and convenient, it has a lot of influence among the people in the lower world. Of course, that's not the point, but the real point is that some people have some stories on the Internet that are quite new -- they say that a person who can go back to the past can immediately change everything in a backward country. ”
"How can it be so easy? These mortals are really whimsical. The relationship between cause and effect has long been known, and no matter how they make trouble, they can't afford to make any big waves. Kunlun Mirror, who has full experience in traveling through time and space, retorted disapprovingly.
"What if there is a cause and effect that exists in different times and different spaces that has nothing to do with the present at all?" The Demon Refining Pot flashed with the essence in his eyes and said, "I'd love to see how those modern elites used their greatest abilities in ancient times. ”
"Wouldn't it? Just send the current one back? Kunlun Mirror looked a little distressed: "Brother, you also know about the loss of aura after we left. It must be known that everything in heaven and earth can only be strong because of aura, and now that a hundred and ten years have passed in the lower realm, the remaining aura has almost been consumed. You don't say that we can all think about how poor those people are now. Don't say that you have done the long-distance transformation of traveling through time and space for hundreds of years, but I am afraid that if you use a little force to transmit that person to an hour ago, his body will be burned because he can't withstand the friction of energy. What do you want me to pass on? ”
"Hey, hey! Why worry about this? Right now, there's such a good defensive position. The demon refining pot smiled very energetically and said his thoughts: "The so-called time and space shuttle is most afraid of the consumption of energy." After traveling for more than a thousand years, let alone ordinary human beings, even your Kunlun Mirror is not something that can be done, after all, the energy consumed is very huge. But what if there is the help of the above two energies? Those two energies were emitted by Brother Sword. Although it is now separated from the body and cannot be eliminated by itself, it is possible to turn it less sharp and aggressive with the ability of the sword brother. Then let Brother Qin inject a little spiritual energy into it, so that it can automatically protect the approved master. ”
"And then just pick a lucky one from the sea of nether people, and let him take on such a responsibility?" The three of Pangu Axe, Xuanyuan Sword, and Kunlun Mirror glanced at each other and took the words that the demon refining pot was about to say.
"Look, don't you all know that?" The Demon Refining Pot raised his eyebrows proudly.
"What if it kills that man?" Nuwa Stone looked a little cautious.
"With you, are you afraid that someone will die? Besides, we can follow him with the Ethereal Scope. The demon refining pot said disapprerovingly: "Choose a guy who is not very capable in reality." It's better to have a bigger nerve, so you don't go crazy in the midst of the big changes. ”
"Well, that's a lot of fun." Now that the Demon Refining Pot has come up with such a perfect idea, where is there anyone who is not interested. They're bored now.
So, do what you say. Xuanyuan Sword really used his powerful strength to turn those two crescent moon energies into a set of full-body battle armor. Fu Xiqin used his ability to manipulate the mind to extinguish the violence, and slightly shaped a weak divine consciousness for it. Nuwa Stone carved a human figure on it, ready for the unlucky ones to be selected as a backup. Backups, aka clones. As an artifact with noble character, I don't want the person I choose to have any regrets about family relationships in the human world in this world. Asking the white-haired people to send the black-haired people is something they don't want to see. And the final Kunlun Mirror wrote the law of time and space on it. He did not set a hard and fast time to return, but left it to the chosen ones to choose everything for themselves.
When all this was done, the Pangu Axe rounded the axe, went to the void below the sky, and quickly threw down the golden armor that had just been built.
This loss naturally illustrates the beginning of the game envisioned by the ten major artifacts, and at the same time triggers another legend that did not exist before, a new history about Jiuzhou.
