Volume I, Chapter Seventy-Four: The Cruel Truth
Sure enough, as He Zichuan expected, the Bafang Hui Demon Monument just flew close to the white-clothed man, and he stretched out a finger and lightly tapped it on the palm-sized black tombstone, and the Bafang Hui Demon Monument immediately flew out upside down, shooting like a sharp sword towards the formation eye directly east of the Great Extinction Hidden World Array, and the Bafang Hui Demon Monument rose in mid-air in the wind, and when it landed steadily on the formation eye, it had turned into a huge tombstone more than ten zhang high, making a loud roar, shaking the smoke and dust.
Immediately afterwards, the Jinyu Immortal Bell was no longer uncontrollable and flew out of He Zichuan's small world. Although He Zichuan tried his best to stop it, no matter how hard he tried, Jinyu Xianling did not give him the slightest response, but the white-clothed boy walked leisurely and volleyed in the air, and Jinyu Xianling flew due north with his mind, and accurately landed in the eyes of the formation.
The man in white moved smoothly, as calm and elegant as ever, as if he was always so calm and unhurried, with a bamboo in his chest, the more He Zichuan and Mo Yan felt cold in his heart. "It seems that the magic weapon that activates the Great Array of Extermination and Concealment is the five treasures of the Five Great Immortal Gates, fortunately, although the Xisha Valley is extinguished, its soul suppression lock is not directly inserted into the eye of the array like the karmic fire red lotus sword in southern Xinjiang, then it is very likely that the mysterious organization has not yet obtained this treasure, and the Haotian Treasure Mirror should still be in the hands of the Gathering Spirit True Monarch, the five treasures of Tianhe are still two of them, maybe there is still a chance to ......" He Zichuan secretly thought to himself, although judging from the unhurried attitude of the man in white, he knew that this guess was mostly untenable, but he understood even more that the situation was very bad at the moment, and he had to give himself some hope and force himself to calm down, so that he could find a glimmer of life.
However, just a moment later, the man in white smiled and shattered He Zichuan's hope in half. After the Jinyu Immortal Bell fell into the eyes of the formation, He Zichuan's small world became uncontrollable again, and the strange treasure that could not be opened from Caiji Valley turned out to be like the Jinyu Immortal Bell, ready to move.
"What?" He Zichuan was shocked again, the strange treasure was contained in a jade box full of spirit runes, no matter how He Zichuan and Mo Yan tried, they couldn't open it, originally He Zichuan had almost forgotten about it, but he didn't expect it to appear in such an abnormal situation at this moment. "Could it also be a treasure of heaven and harmony, is it the soul suppression lock of the west or the Haotian treasure mirror of the Central Plains?" He Zichuan guessed in shock.
After a breath, the jade box that sealed this strange treasure was really like a brocade jade fairy bell, flying out of He Zichuan's small world uncontrollably, and slowly walking towards the white-clothed man, Mo Yan was also shocked when she saw this scene, and couldn't help but widen her eyes, her face turned pale, obviously what she was thinking in her heart was similar to He Zichuan.
The white-clothed boy leisurely stretched out his right hand and opened his five fingers to the jade box full of spirit runes, and the jade box suddenly shot rapidly to his palm, and then he opened his mouth and blew, a cloud of purple mist sprayed on the surface of the jade box, and the spirit runes that made He Zichuan and Mo Yan helpless were melted by the purple mist, and countless runes lit up one after another, like a villain who had just woken up from a big dream, first raised his head from the jade box, then sat up, and then jumped off the jade box one by one, lined up and flew into the big sleeves of the white-clothed man. Without the restraint of the spirit rune, the jade box collapsed in an instant, turning into fragments, and a small silver lock the size of a fist shone with purple and cyan spiritual light, meekly lying in the palm of the white-clothed man's palm. The white-clothed boy shook his palm and threw the silver lock into the air, and the silver lock was like a carrier pigeon with wings spread, automatically flying into the eye of the array due west of the peerless face-covering array.
"That strange treasure turned out to be the Soul Suppression Lock? It was actually on my body all along?" Since entering the Heavenly Hades Temple, He Zichuan and Mo Yan have been repeatedly washed away by waves of accidents and shocks, and they have long felt numb, but seeing this scene, they still can't help but grow their mouths. Seeing that the two of them couldn't hide their shock, the man in white suddenly showed a warm smile and said lightly: "All opportunities are in the game, many things are actually doomed, you don't have to be too surprised." β
He Zichuan came back to his senses, and immediately sneered and said: "What is destined, it's not a conspiracy and trick you played! I didn't expect you to be so shameless and put gold on your face." β
The white-clothed boy said disapprovingly: "The bureau of Lord Hades is a bureau, isn't the bureau of this son?" Lord Hades masters the fate of heaven and earth, the life and death of a realm, and the future and fate of thousands of monks with the Great Dao, although this prince does not dare to compare himself with Lord Hades, but with the backing of intelligence, cultivation, and power, following in the footsteps of his old man, it is also a beautiful thing to open the treasure he left behind, how can he put gold on his face?"
Hearing this, Mo Yan said coldly: "You broke into the Heavenly Hades Temple without permission and stole the luck left by the Nine Netherworld King, so you are not afraid that he will find you to settle accounts after he finds out?"
The man in white shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "This boy has already said that everything is a bureau, the bureau has a size, a bureau has depth, and a bureau within a bureau." With the anti-heaven cultivation of the Hades King, if he didn't want people to get a treasure, the monks wouldn't even know about the existence of the treasure, let alone forcibly take it. And this luck, although it is very difficult for us to use it for our own purposes, is not unattainable. In other words, when Lord Hades laid out this game casually, he hoped that someone could break the game and get the treasure, so how could he trouble me? In fact, when Lord Hades reshaped countless small interfaces, he laid out a big game, and since the master of this son got the secret of luck in the small underworld, he opened another game, and since then, you and I are both people in the game, so I am destined to be here, destined to set up another game-breaking game, and you are also destined to become a link in this game......"
"Impossible!" He Zichuan said in a deep voice: "Everything in the world has its own number of days, even if it is with the power of the Hades King, how can it be possible to change his life against the sky?"
"Hahahaha...... the boy in white laughed when he heard this: "It's so childish and cute." The number of days is indeed like a domination to you and me, and it cannot be disobeyed, but to Lord Hades, it is like a dog crawling at his feet, not to mention changing one's life against the sky, what is so difficult about changing a day, creating a sky, and destroying a sky?"
How can a monk be so strong? He Zichuan was extremely shocked in his heart, but he still didn't give an inch: "As you said, then isn't everything you are doing now also at the mercy of others step by step according to the situation set by the Hades King?"
The man in white nodded calmly: " That's true, Lord Hades has reshaped countless small interfaces, but it has not left the monks a way to live, although this son does not know what the meaning of his old man's actions is, but this situation will not last long, Lord Hades has his own solution, now it seems that Master and I should be the ones who were selected by Lord Hades to break the game, once Master can use luck to break through to the God Realm, the rules that the monks in the small interface group cannot advance to the God Realm will be broken, once the old rules are broken, new rules will soon be born, and then all the problems will be solvedγ β
In the end, the tone of the man in white was already slightly excited, but Mo Yan was not infected by his emotions at all, and snorted coldly: "What fate, what Hades' choice, to put it bluntly, is not an excuse for you to take advantage of it, did the Hades King say that he wants you to go to the small underworld to harm sentient beings, occupy his cave and dormitory, and steal his treasures?" But if there is a great opportunity, you will wear it and attach it, and you have to say that you are carried by heaven, but if it is a bad thing, if the king of Hades wants you to die, you will definitely have another explanation. β
Mo Yan's tone was cold and sharp, but the man in white didn't show any annoyance, he just shook his head slightly, and said lightly: "The number of days has always been unpredictable, how can immortals speculate? Since we are already in the game, no matter whether it is good or bad, we can only move forward, so we naturally have to think more favorably, even if the Lord of Hades really wants our lives, what strength do we have to resist? When he was young, whenever he made a further step on the path of cultivation, his son would always shout two words in a heroic manner, 'My life is up to me!' but as his cultivation grew, the closer he got to the Great Dao, the more he felt awe. Because on the road of growth, every step taken will increase the strength by one point, but the difficulties will increase by two points, and the helplessness will increase by three points. Therefore, the price of every little progress is to face the difficulties and helplessness of crazy growth, the stronger the strength, the greater the difficulties and helplessness to face, and finally the difficulties and helplessness that need to be faced will far exceed the bearing of strength, the monks will lose confidence in controlling fate, attribute the unbearable cruelty and sorrow to the injustice of fate, gradually recognize the fact that they cannot control their fate, and then accept the arrangement of fate. You think that you can't escape the number of days because of your humble cultivation, but aren't those who are as high as the five masters of the Little Underworld also tremble under the number of days? Even if the master of this son is one of the Seven Great Perfections of the Heavenly and Human Realms, isn't he still struggling like you, fearing that he may be assimilated by heaven and earth at any time? In these countless interfaces, apart from the Nine Nether Kings, who can really control their own destiny? Even the Nine Netherworld Kings, I think he has his awe and troubles. β
He Zichuan and Mo Yan were silent at the same time, their hearts were mixed, extremely weird, unbelieving, unwilling, sad, relieved and other emotions turned over the river and the sea, and so on, the expression on their faces was as gloomy as a dark cloud of snow.
The man in white laughed loudly: "The weak eat the strong, natural selection is the true essence of this world, cruel competition and elimination is the most basic law, when this son just understood this truth, he was as depressed as you, but then he gradually realized that since he can't control his own destiny, there will always be a little more hope in the game, and it is much better than those mediocre people......"
"I think that's just because you're too cowardly!" Mo Yan suddenly sneered, interrupting the white-clothed man's talk, and said in a cold voice: "As long as you are stronger than you, you will not enter your game, if you are stronger than the sky, you don't have to be afraid of the days, if you are stronger than the Hades, you will no longer be dominated by him, and your obedience is just an excuse not to fight!"
The man in white smiled dumbly and said: "As you said, even if you are stronger than me, you will still be plotted by many strong people, stronger than all of them, you still have the sky above your head, stronger than the sky will also be afraid of Hades, if you are really stronger than Hades, you know what is above Hades? Besides, it is impossible for everyone to become so strong, if there is really someone who can fully control their own destiny, I believe, but that person will not be you, nor will it be me, so I am not cowardly, just reality, you are not brave, just naΓ―ve." β
"No!" He Zichuan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "No matter whether you succeed in the end or not, the goal is there, as long as there is a goal, there is hope, as long as there is hope, you should fight, as long as you dare to fight, you will be fearless, only in this way can you control yourself, my life is up to me, let alone anyone else!" His voice was clear and loud, as if he had swept away the doubts and haze in his heart, and found a new direction.
"Little Qi ......" Mo Yan exclaimed in surprise, although she couldn't see He Zichuan's appearance, but she was really happy for him at the moment. Since He Zichuan was expelled from Jinchuan, his belief has been collapsing, he doesn't know where to go, he doesn't know what to do next, and he doesn't even know what the meaning of his life is, he is like a duckweed, drifting with the tide of confusion, although several adventures have made his cultivation grow a lot, but a heart has been soft and fragile, until the harsh words of the man in white made him swim against the current, re-found his direction, strengthened his faith, found himself, and began to shape a brave, A firm and strong heart, this is the growth and transformation of a man.
The boy in white shook his head and said: "Hope will always be dashed, and the arrogance of youth will always be smoothed, fearless because the newborn calf is not afraid of the naivety of the tiger, and the reality is the reason after washing the lead, people often think very highly of themselves when they are young, and complain about the injustice of fate after experiencing setbacks, there is always a process of growth and transformation, and it takes a huge to tragic price, and it is always impossible to understand it without experience, so it is useless to say more now, if you have the opportunity, you will naturally understand it slowly." Okay, the chit-chat is over, and now it's a new drama coming up, oh...... It's my favorite play. β
As soon as the white-clothed man's voice fell, the sky suddenly became gloomy, and thick dark clouds appeared out of nowhere to cover the sky and the sun, lightning and thunder in the dark clouds, orange and blue flashed alternately, illuminating the entire soul platform, and the continuous rumbling and loud noises made people feel as if they were in the sound of firecrackers in the mortal world during the New Year.
It was as if an invisible giant stick was stirring the sky, and thick dark clouds swam around the center, slowly forming an inverted cyclone, revealing thousands of feet deep in the cloud cracks, and a white light flickered in the cloud cracks, like a dancing white sun. After a few breaths, the white light suddenly converged into a huge teleportation circle, and a figure flew out of it.
"It's Shizun!" He Zichuan fixed his eyes and saw that it was none other than Jin Zun, the Lord of the Extreme North, who teleported out of the magic circle. "It's really Shizun, when he arrives, things may take a turn for the better!", He Zichuan's almost desperate heart instantly rekindled the blazing flame of hope, but the man in white just smiled slightly, and didn't seem to have the slightest emotional fluctuation for Jin Zun's arrival.
As soon as Jin Zun jumped out of the teleportation array for less than a breath, another figure flew out of the teleportation array, like a stone thrown casually, and fell headlong towards the soul platform, it was the embarrassed Southern Xinjiang Holy Emperor. Immediately after that, a third figure flew out of the teleportation array, he held a sword in one hand, and a stack of spirit runes in the other, as soon as Fang flew out of the teleportation array, he ignored it, and chased after the Holy Emperor violently, needless to say, this person was the Gathering Spirit True Monarch.
The speed of the Gathering Spirit True Monarch was extremely fast, and the Holy Emperor was caught up by him before he landed, and the long sword in his hand immediately erupted with earth-shattering sword qi, enveloping the Holy Emperor like a huge wave and tsunami. The offensive of the Gathering Spirit True Monarch was deadly, extremely powerful, and after a few moves, the Holy Emperor lost his armor and abandoned his armor, and the Holy Emperor wanted to use the Dao Realm to reverse the situation several times, but he was forced back by the offensive of the Gathering Spirit True Monarch. Just when the two of them were about to land, the Gathering Spirit True Monarch suddenly revealed a flaw, and the Holy Emperor was overjoyed, and immediately used the Five Elements Dao Technique to force him back, winning a moment of respite, taking advantage of this gap, the Holy Emperor immediately wanted to use the Dao Realm to suppress the Gathering Spirit True Monarch. But how did he know that the Gathering Spirit True Monarch was just deliberately selling him a flaw, so as to launch a fatal blow, seeing that the Holy Emperor really hit the plan, the Gathering Spirit True Monarch who was forced to retreat was in a flower, the long sword in his hand was shining, and he turned around and stabbed at the Holy Emperor with a sword, and the Holy Emperor who was about to cast the Dao Realm was in a dilemma in an instant, and had no choice but to fight with mana to counterattack, forcibly stop the Dao Realm, and turn sideways to dodge. However, the speed of the Gathering Spirit True Monarch was too fast, and the Holy Emperor was finally a step slower under the backlash of mana, and was pierced through the chest by the Gathering Spirit True Monarch with a sword.
After the huge long sword phantom penetrated the Holy Emperor's chest, it drew hundreds of zhang in the air, and a long line of blood sprayed out with this phantom, and the Southern Xinjiang Holy Emperor howled miserably and slammed it on the ground, Gathering Spirit True Monarch's eyes were cold, and the long sword sword was even more vigorous, and he was about to kill the Holy Emperor here in one fell swoop. However, at this moment, two green rays suddenly flashed on the soul platform, a white-haired old woman with a withered description and a beautiful scholar in a gray robe struck towards the Gathering Spirit True Monarch on the left and right, these two not only have a very strong spiritual pressure, both have the cultivation of the late stage of the transformation realm, and they cooperate very tacitly, one left and one right do not leave the slightest gap for the Gathering Spirit True Monarch, if the Gathering Spirit True Monarch wants to forcibly kill the Holy Emperor, he is also likely to fall here.
In desperation, the Gathering Spirit True Monarch had no choice but to return to the sword to protect himself, and the Holy Emperor, who was in a fight with the two of them, and the Holy Emperor, who had escaped by chance, immediately sat down cross-legged, first took out a high-grade elixir and stuffed it into his mouth, and then took out a precious spirit rune and slapped it on his chest, and recovered with bated breath, under the combined effect of the elixir, spirit rune, exercises, and immortal body, the piercing wound on his chest the size of a bowl mouth recovered rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Jin Zun took advantage of the gap between the two masters to stop the Gathering Spirit True Monarch, and lightly passed through the battle group, flying quickly towards the center of the Great Extinction Hidden World Array. He Zichuan saw Jin Zun flying closer and closer, his face flushed with excitement, and blurted out: "Master be careful, this person is the leader of the mysterious organization, his cultivation is outstanding, and his combat power is extraordinary, don't be attacked by him!"
The man in white still had a calm expression, he clapped his hands and praised Jin Zun who flew in: "You really have a good apprentice, and at this time, you still protect you like this, sighing, praiseworthy." β
Jin Zun landed steadily beside the white-clothed man, looking at He Zichuan's eyes with a complicated color, but only a moment later, he returned to silence. He flipped his right hand, took out a palm-sized Haotian Treasure Mirror, threw it lightly to the man in white, and said, "Here you go, the deity's share is done, you'd better not have any accidents here!"
"Master!" He Zichuan looked at Jin Zun in disbelief, he never imagined that the master he respected and feared the most would actually know the boy in white, the leader of this mysterious organization.
The white-clothed boy took the Haotian Treasure Mirror with a smile, and said as if inadvertently: "One of the five masters of the Little Underworld really deserves its reputation, no wonder it can teach such a loyal apprentice." By the way, you must not have told him that the He family he was born from was destroyed by your own hands, right? There is not a single one of the more than 7,600 people left!"
The white-clothed man's tone was relaxed, but these words were tantamount to five thunderbolts in He Zichuan's ears. "The He family was actually destroyed by Shizun himself? Why? Isn't the He family one of the cornerstones of Jinchuan, how could Shizun do such a self-destructive thing?" He Zichuan's heart was shocked, in his mind, Jin Zun was not smiling, stern and harsh, fair, and upright, and wanted to carry forward the sect, but he didn't care too much about his own gains and losses, how could such a rigorous and upright person be a treacherous, cruel and murderous person? It is impossible to be a murderer who slaughtered his disciples' own family! But for some reason, He Zichuan's intuition believed the words of the man in white without doubt, which made him feel a deep fear and sadness in his heart.
The white-clothed man seemed to suddenly remember something, and continued: "Oh, I guess you haven't told him yet, your beautiful three apprentices were also betrayed to Tianlong Villa by you, not only that, but you also pretended to be a master of the Demon Palace, and used the Dao Realm to simulate the effect of the Bafanghui Demon Monument, intercepted and killed the stupid apprentice of the Holy Emperor, and blamed the two guys who were tied to the pillar......"
"Shut up!" Jin Zun, who had always been gentle and elegant, suddenly roared at the white-clothed man with a pale face, and the violent sound waves carried strong mana like a huge storm blowing through, plowing the ground into a fan-shaped deep ditch, but the white-clothed man at the center of the storm was not even blown a piece of the corners of his clothes, he shrugged his shoulders innocently, with a strange smile on his face, he really closed his mouth and said no more.
However, He Zichuan's eyes were bloodshot when he looked at Jin Zun, and he gradually became cold and unfamiliar.
Under the Soul Acceptance Platform, the calamity crow had been paying attention to the development of the situation with a powerful divine thought, and seeing that the man in white had already obtained the last treasure of Tianhe, he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Hey, if we don't do it again, they will activate the formation." β
The young girl had a pretty face that charmed all beings, and after struggling for a moment, she still shook her head and said, "No, wait a little longer." β
The crow said hurriedly: "What are you waiting for? At this time, they are fighting among themselves, and it is a good time for us to do it!"
The young girl resolutely said: "No, it's not the time yet, wait for them to protect each other and consume a little more......"
The raven was puzzled, "Wait, wait, what should we do if we wait until they activate the Great Array?"
The young girl said impatiently: "I have my own plans, you just listen to me, don't worry about bad things, it's ......" Saying that, the young girl was suddenly stunned, then narrowed her eyes slightly, and said to the crow: "Did you hear the person's transmission?"
The crow also looked at the young girl with a strange expression at this time and said, "He has already discovered the two of us, how is this possible?"
The beautiful eyes of the young girl turned around rapidly in her eyes, and she didn't know what she was planning, and only after a while did she say to the crow: "I still can't move now, wait for him to strike first!"
The crow finally stopped insisting, nodded slightly, and looked eagerly at the battle group on the soul platform.
