The figure was surrounded by black mist, ghostly and gloomy, and with a flying sword emitting a blue light, he was looking at He Xiaoshi with a smile.

Although He Xiaoshi is not familiar with this figure, he is by no means unfamiliar.

This person is the "Mu Kaixuan" who was robbed of his body by the sword ghost.

At this time, He Xiaoshi naturally didn't know that Mu Kaixuan had been taken away, but from the completely different temperament exuded by this person from the past, he could deduce that Mu Kaixuan must have undergone some changes.

He Xiaoshi's strength has greatly improved at this time, and within the foundation building realm, it can be said that he is not afraid of any living beings at all, but in the face of "Mu Kaixuan" who is smiling and looking at him, he still feels the slightest sense of crisis.

Without waiting for He Xiaoshi to speak, "Mu Kaixuan" spoke first with a smile: "He Xiaoshi, right? ”

"Mu Kaixuan" said these words very politely, which made He Xiaoshi stunned for a while.

He Xiaoshi's eyes flashed, the so-called stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, he couldn't say anything, so he had to nod and said: "Mu Daoyou is polite, Your Excellency's strength has also increased a lot, presumably after coming to this Ancient Demon Emperor Xuan Realm, the opportunity is not small." ”

The blue light under the feet of "Mu Kaixuan" shrank slightly, and the flying sword under his feet turned into a blue light and penetrated into the eyebrows of this person, and he slowly fell to the ground.

Seeing this, He Xiaoshi's face was calm, and he didn't say anything, but his divine sense was firmly enveloping the other party, in case this person suddenly attacked.

"Daoyou don't have to be so defensive about me," Mu Kaixuan smiled and continued to ask: "Moreover, with Daoyou's spiritual sense, can't you still find out that I am not the same person I used to be?"

He Xiaoshi was still vigilant, he couldn't relax his vigilance because of the other party's words, and asked lightly at this time: "Your Excellency means ......?"

"If I'm not mistaken, He Daoyou's eyesight is absolutely extraordinary, you can observe it yourself," Mu Kaixuan said calmly.

He Xiaoshi's voice turned cold, and he said coldly: "Your Excellency has anything important, to put it bluntly, He still has important matters, and he has no time to go around in circles here." ”

Seeing this, Mu Kaixuan restrained his smile, his expression became solemn, and he said seriously: "Since Daoist friends lack patience, I will directly explain the intention. ”

His tone paused slightly, seeing that He Xiaoshi didn't say anything, "Mu Kaixuan" didn't care, and said frankly to himself: "This body has been taken away by me, and the original master's divine consciousness and true spirit have long been erased by me. ”

"I ...... used to be a fairy, but now, he has been reincarnated as a sword ghost," Speaking of this, Mu Kaixuan's face showed a little sorrow.

He Xiaoshi's face was still calm, but he had to be shocked in his heart.

Immortals are different from immortals, but after the spirit weapon reaches a certain level, the internal gods gradually produce spiritual wisdom, and they are called for their gods.

The gods in the spirit weapon can produce spiritual intelligence, at least at the level of an immortal weapon!

If what this person said is true, it is really unprecedented.

In today's mortal world, the real immortals can be said to be non-existent, if they really appear, it is enough to sweep the entire mortal world.

He Xiaoshi listened to this person's words, his eyes quickly swept around the Divine Spirit Valley, where there was no longer any divine blood, and some kind of speculation suddenly appeared in his heart.

"Mu Kaixuan" seemed to guess He Xiaoshi's thoughts, and continued: "As you think, I am indeed the true spirit of the fairy sword in the hands of the master of the Divine Spirit Valley, before the master fell, my body was shattered, and my sword body was also torn apart, so I had to leave the sword body, and by chance, I turned into a sword ghost, which can last forever until now, but I can no longer be free." ”

He Xiaoshi was really a little moved this time, a former immortal was standing in front of him so calmly?!

It's just that, why is this person waiting for him in the Valley of the Gods?

And it was as if he knew he was going to be here.

Without waiting for He Xiaoshi to ask, "Mu Kaixuan" had already explained himself: "The reason why I knew that you would appear here is because ...... That flame figure, everything that happened in this Xuan Realm, the flame figure was clear. As for why I'm waiting for you?"

"Mu Kaixuan" paused slightly, looked at He Xiaoshi's eyes and said seriously: "I want to transform into a sword spirit again and follow you, or I am willing to recognize you as the master, I don't know if you are willing?"

He Xiaoshi's first reaction was to refuse.

Just kidding, a deep-minded, unintelligible, self-proclaimed fairy sword spirit, a ghostly creature, sent to the door for no reason, asking for him to be the master.

It's like a piece of gold suddenly falling from nature, shining in broad daylight.

No one dares to take it for themselves.

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse, and listen to the reason why I am willing to recognize you as the Lord, if it is not for helplessness, I am not willing to be controlled again," Mu Kaixuan hurriedly said.

He Xiaoshi frowned slightly, waiting for the following.

- - - - - -

Two months ago, Sun Wukong's semi-holy essence blood, with the help of Samadhi True Fire, was refined into a space-time immortal treasure - a nine-story demon tower.

At the last moment, the sword ghost narrowly escaped from the gossip terrain, but the original plan to sacrifice Mu Kaixuan's body fell short.

The sword ghost is unwilling, if there is no gossip terrain to refine this body, he can only be trapped forever in this ancient Xuan Realm without any living beings, and he will not be free, and he will not be able to contain his true spirit for too long.

If there is no physical body, the result of leaving the ancient ruined palace is death.

Just when the sword ghost had nothing to do, his heart moved, and he thought of the flame figure.

The other creatures didn't know the identity of the flame figure sitting on the throne in the ancient palace complex, but they knew it very well.

If it weren't for the sake of freedom and life, the sword ghost would definitely not want to face that flame figure, even if this figure was not even a clone of the ancient demon emperor.

That's right, that flame figure is an idea that the Ancient Demon Emperor left in his Xuan Realm before he flew to the Heavenly Realm, and his main task is to manage this Xuan Realm.

Thousands of years have passed, and this idea has been faithfully fulfilling its duty, and it has never been too troublesome.

It was only after He Xiaoshi appeared in the Divine Dragon Yuan of the Xuanqing Hall that the Demon Emperor, who had been friends with the Dragon God, felt something in his heart, so he joined forces with the Dragon God to help He Xiaoshi enter the Ancient Demon Emperor Palace.

Since he was the manager of the entire Ancient Xuan Realm, the flame figure naturally knew everything that happened in the Xuan Realm.

It's just that the sword ghost went to find the flame figure, and there was still an element of gambling.

......

More than fifty years ago, the flame figure sitting on the throne looked at the uninvited guest of the sword ghost condescendingly, and the voice that made the void tremble sounded indifferently: "You are no longer a fairy itself, just a ghost, even though this seat has had a period of love and hatred with your master, but you appear in front of this seat, aren't you afraid that this seat will make you lose all your form?"

After speaking, the huge god-like coercion and the killing intent like a great river rushing all rushed towards the sword ghost.

The sword ghost looked at the flame figure on the throne as if he had not felt the coercion and killing intent, and said calmly: "You are not the Demon Emperor, why do you claim to be this seat? Yes, you can mobilize the power of this Xuan Realm to wipe me out, but if I am willing to burn the jade, it will be enough to overturn this Xuan Realm." ”

The sword ghost looked at the flame figure and continued to ask, "If there is a big problem in this Xuan Realm, you are afraid that it will also dissipate between heaven and earth, right?"

"Haha......"

The flame figure suddenly laughed, not pleasantly, but with a hint of depression.

"Do you think I'm going to be afraid of disappearing?"

The sword ghost was silent for a moment, his face was full of thoughtfulness, and then he suddenly said: "Indeed, an existence like you, after a long time, only exists to protect the Xuan Realm, without companionship and the possibility of independence, it is indeed boring. ”

The flame figure did not speak immediately, but stood up from the throne, looked forward with his hands behind his back, and there seemed to be vicissitudes flowing in his eyes that were burning with flames.

The sword ghost was also silent, as if waiting for something.

Long......

The flame figure retracted his gaze, and his voice became much lighter, as if it was clear water, without any question: "You are wrong, for thousands of years, you have become like this, and I am naturally not just that consciousness." ”

There is so much information in this sentence that it is difficult for people to understand, but the sword ghost can understand it.

It's not just a consciousness of the Ancient Demon Emperor, what else can it be?

It can only be a re-emergence of spiritual ...... It's alive.

Otherwise, with just one consciousness, how can there be emotions such as joy, anger, sorrow, and torment?

It's just that with the independent mind, there is self-consciousness, but it can only be that consciousness forever, mechanically performing the innate task, without freedom and body, this kind of torment time is the most difficult.

Life is precious.

But there is no free life, and living is more of a misery.

A sword ghost who is not free, he can understand the figure of flames after suffering for a long time.

It's just that the two are different after all, the flame figure, as the consciousness of the demon emperor, can only disappear after completing the task, but the sword ghost has the hope of truly becoming an independent creature and getting relatively free.

"I know the purpose of your coming here, but even if I can control this Xuan Realm, I can't help you, in fact, you originally planned to use the Bagua Divine Furnace to refine your body, and then accept your master's divine blood and the method in your body, except for allowing you to move freely in the Xuan Realm, there is no other effect at all. In this ancient Xuan Realm, you have turned into a ghost body, you can't adapt to the rules of heaven and earth in the outside world, and once you go out, you will immediately disappear," the flame figure, who was silent for a moment, said indifferently.

The sword ghost suddenly laughed: "Of course I know what you said, but as long as you can breathe in the outside air, look at the real sun, and feel the rare freedom, it is instantaneous, so what's the matter?"

The flame figure let out a long sigh.

"Who wouldn't want to be free?"

"Let's go, if it weren't for the fact that you had a similar experience with this seat, you would have accompanied this seat for thousands of years, and according to the rules of the Xuan Realm, this seat would have killed you a long time ago, so that you could do it yourself!" The flame figure sat back on the throne, and his voice became majestic again.

After hearing this, the sword ghost's body suddenly became much more rickety, and he was about to leave, returning to the ruined palace, and spent time in pain, waiting for the ethereal hope.

At this moment, the flame figure suddenly said: "Wait, there is a method in this seat that allows you to leave the Xuan Realm and return to the outside world safely." ”

The sword ghost, who was originally disillusioned, looked at the flame figure with a slight trembling body after hearing this.
