Chapter 712: Three Levels Blocking the Way
Before dawn, Yin Shuang came to the square outside the main hall of the Purple Electric Sword Sect's mountain gate, stared at the sky, and waited quietly.
Wu Xie had already told her the itinerary, and asked the Thunder King to roughly estimate the time to arrive in the Purple Electric World. So when the day of Wu Jie's arrival came, she came here to wait.
On the lilac sky, the sun slowly rises, slowly reaches the zenith, and then slowly sets towards the west.
More than one asked what she was doing, and when they learned that her husband had crossed the heavens and all the worlds and trekked from the Great Wilderness Realm to the Purple Electric World to find her, they were all in awe. Many people simply sat next to her and waited together, wanting to witness the moment when the long-lost couple was reunited.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was afternoon; Time passed very slowly, so slow that everyone was a little anxious.
Seeing that the sun was about to set, an old man with pale temples couldn't help but come over and asked, "Senior Sister Yin, is there a mistake in the timing?" β
Among the disciples of the Purple Electric Sword Sect, Yin Shuang was the first to accumulate enough merit to be able to apprentice, so she was the senior sister of this generation. Although she was only over 800 years old, the old man was already more than 8,000 years old, but the order of the eldest and youngest was reversed.
Yin Shuang felt quite strange about this situation at first, but soon got used to it. Over the decades, she has become accustomed to being a senior sister.
Hearing the inquiry of this junior disciple who was almost ten times her age, she shook her head and said lightly: "Since he said that he would come today, he will come today." β
"Maybe there's something delayed?" Another junior sister persuaded.
"There aren't many things that can delay him." The corners of Yin Shuang's mouth curled slightly, showing her confidence in Wu Jie, "Unless he is involved in the melee of the Immortal Heavenly Monarch, I can't think of anything that can delay him." β
Speaking of which, the younger brothers and sisters were not persuaded again, so they had to continue to wait with her.
And in the mountain gate hall not far behind, Donghua Jianjun and Zihua Immortal Gu did not look good.
"Senior brother, what are you going to do?" Zihua Immortal Gu asked with a gloomy face, "That person is almost here, just let him take Yin Shuang away?" β
Donghua Jianjun was silent for a moment and sighed: "The key now is that Yin Shuang is willing to go with him and is willing to ...... What can you and I do? β
"At least drag him for a hundred years!" Zihua Immortal Gu said, "It's best to drag him for a lifetime!" β
When she said "for a lifetime", a cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she obviously had a murderous intention.
For Zihua Immortal Gu, Yin Shuang was the most talented apprentice she had met in hundreds of thousands of years, and the only one who had the hope of achieving immortality and inheriting her mantle. She asked herself that she was not sure of the impact of the hole, if she failed, she would die, and if she didn't pass on her life's experience, she would really die. So even if it will make the apprentice hold a grudge for the rest of his life, she can't care so much.
It's a big deal to be killed by the apprentice in the future, anyway, as long as the apprentice is stronger than himself, and his own vein can continue to move forward, then it's okay. You can't have both worlds, and if you have to choose one or the other, it is natural to focus on the inheritance of the Taoist system.
So when she learned that Yin Shuang's husband had traveled through the heavens and all worlds and trekked from the Great Wilderness Realm to here, she was moved and admired in her heart, but more of a murderous machine.
Donghua Jianjun frowned, although he has a fierce and ruthless personality, but he does not have the sense of urgency related to his junior sister's vital interests, for him, Wu Xie is just an irrelevant person who came from afar, and inexplicably killed an affectionate man who traveled hundreds of millions of miles to find his wife, which is not very in line with his habits.
Seeing him like this, Zihua Immortal Gu couldn't help but sigh in her heart - she didn't have anything to say about her senior brother's cultivation and combat strength, but this was really not good in terms of dealing with people. If Senior Brother Taihua was here, most of them would have nodded immediately.
Do we still need to consider the importance of outsiders and fellow disciples?
But Donghua Sword Monarch is not like this, he is a more pure person, for him, his likes and dislikes are the most important, and the rest of the things are floating clouds - this is exactly the same as the Purple Electric Sword Venerable is almost carved out of a mold.
Among the three true disciples of the Purple Electric Sword Venerable, Tianhua Sword Monarch is a martial idiot, there is nothing else but the True Sword, if you dare to use these "mundane things" to disturb him, he is likely to draw his sword and cut you; Donghua Sword Monarch was willing to put his mind into mundane matters, but he obviously lacked the talent in this area - of course, for a monk, the talent of cultivation and discipleship is the most important, and it is good to have other talents, but it doesn't hurt if you don't have them.
In fact, it would be best if the long-sleeved and dancing Taihua Sword Monarch was the head, but the relationship between Taihua Sword Monarch and the Zidian lineage was not good, his ideal was to make the Zidian Sword Sect bigger and stronger, so he had to try to maintain the fairness between the lineage and the guests - this of course harmed the interests of the lineage, even if the "interests" were purely excessive privileges in the eyes of people like Wu Jie.
Zihua Immortal Gu is the Zidian lineage, the reason why she was able to cultivate to the peak of the Yang God with not very outstanding qualifications is that she is only one step away from the Cave Void Realm, and the various privileges she has obtained as a descendant are indispensable. Taihua Jianjun's reform would shake her privileges, so she did not hesitate to support Donghua Jianjun.
If Wu Xie knew this, he might sigh, or he might cry or laugh - it was precisely because Zihua Immortal Gu's backer was Donghua Jianjun that he had the hope of taking Yin Shuang away peacefully; If the leader of the Purple Electric Sword Sect was the Taihua Sword Monarch at this moment, he really had no other way to think of than to ask for help from the predecessors of the Canglei King.
Donghua Sword Monarch was groaning, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he looked into the distance through the temple door.
I saw that the light of the Purple Electric Sword Sect's mountain protection array flickered, and two figures slowly fell, falling outside the mountain protection array.
Then, a gentle and clear voice came slowly: "In Xia Wu Zhifei, meet the seniors and fellow Daoists of the Purple Electric Sword Sect." I don't know if Jing Yinshuang can be here? β
Yin Shuang had already stood up when he saw that familiar figure, and when he heard his voice at this moment, he couldn't help but smile, and ran straight towards the outside of the mountain protection array.
Hearing Wu Jie's words and seeing Yin Shuang's reaction, the people of the Purple Electric Sword Sect still didn't understand what was going on! I don't know who started it, and suddenly someone started cheering, clapping, whistling, and stomping their feet...... After a while, the square was already in a commotion.
"Big brother!" Zihua Immortal Gu was a little anxious, and her tone became heavier.
Donghua Jianjun looked at his junior sister, and then at Yin Shuang, who was running wildly towards the outside of the mountain protection array, and sighed.
"Then stop him first."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and waved, the purple light of the mountain protection array flickered, Yin Shuang's figure disappeared suddenly, but a long stone staircase appeared in front of Wu Jie.
"What does that mean?" Wu Xie was stunned for a moment and looked at Han De.
Han De shrugged his shoulders irresponsibly: "Get off the horse, if you don't want to suffer this loss, you can only ......" He laughed dryly twice and didn't finish his words.
Wu Xie frowned, looked at the long stone steps that went straight into the clouds, and then walked up.
He knew that if he wanted to pick Yin Shuang away, he would definitely encounter a lot of trouble, but he didn't expect that he would be troubled once before he could enter the door.
Han De didn't follow, but stood outside the mountain protection array, and shouted at him: "I'll find a place to rest casually, if you want to find me to lead the way, send me a message flying sword!" β
Wu Xie waved his hand, indicating that he knew. Under his feet, he did not stop at a step, and ran rapidly along the stone steps.
His figure turned into a gust of wind, and in an instant he walked from the foot of the mountain to the clouds.
On the mountain gate square of the Purple Electric Sword Sect, the disciples who were still cheering just now looked at me, I looked at you, and they all fell silent. Many people looked back at the main hall with a contemplative look.
"Second senior brother, the meaning of acting as the head of the house is ......"
"Shhhh Unspeakable! Unspeakable! β
"Little brother understands! But what is this? This is not in keeping with the tradition of our Divine Gate! Shouldn't we ......"
"Don't say! You want me to repeat it a few times! β
ββ¦β¦ Little brother understands! Senior Brother Xie reminds! β
The two monks who had been standing next to Yin Shuang whispered in a low voice using the method of sound transmission, then shook their heads and left.
The other big man frowned, standing at the edge of the square, staring at the white clouds in the mountain protection array.
That was Wu Jie, at this moment he had already stepped into the mountain protection array, and was trapped by the large array, running wildly on an endless stone staircase.
No matter how fast he ran, it didn't really make sense. Because that road is simply a circle, no matter how fast you run, it will only circle around the entire Purple Electric Sword Sect Mountain Gate.
The rough man frowned, staring at the faster and faster clouds, but he was very dissatisfied in his heart.
He was born in a casual cultivation, wandered the rivers and lakes for thousands of years, and fought thousands of miles with the sword in his hand, and has always followed the principle of crispness and brightness, doing things happily, and hating those ghost tricks the most. And at this moment, the Purple Electric Sword Sect used this method to stop Wu Jie, which made him very annoyed.
People have traveled through the heavens and worlds and suffered countless hardships to find their wives, why should they stop them?
Even if you want to stop him, just draw your sword and hack him to death, why play such boring tricks!
Of course, if Wu Xie heard the complaint in his heart, he would probably say: "It's not suitable to draw a sword and cut people today, this boring trick is better than drawing a sword and cutting people!" β
However, Wu Xie didn't hear the complaint in the big man's heart now, he was galloping at the moment, thinking about what was going on.
Obviously, the Purple Electric Sword Sect didn't intend to let themselves take Yin Shuang easily, so they had to try to stop themselves. But for some reason, they don't seem to be very determined, so they use this method.
Wu Jie's attainments in spells are extraordinary, and with the two powerful staff officers of Jasmine and Ye Hong, he has naturally already seen what is going on with this stone staircase under his feet with no end in sight. At the moment, he is carefully deducing in the Heavenly Book World, looking for a way to break through.
To be honest, he can completely use violent methods to break the level. The power of this Purple Electric Sword Sect's Mountain Protection Array must be very strong, but if Wu Xie uses the means of the Dou Department, it is not very difficult to make a hole in the big array.
However, the consequences of this are more troublesome. Wu Xie is not the kind of person with a tendon in his head, and if he has a choice, he still hopes to use more gentle means.
Han De and King Canglei once said that they should be more fierce when getting along with the Divine Gate, and it is not a problem to be unreasonable. Although Wu Xie took their words to heart, he didn't want to use those ferocious methods so quickly.
At the very least, you have to salute before you soldier!
His figure became faster and faster, gradually turning into a streamer, and spun rapidly around the mountain gate of the Purple Electric Sword Sect. But no matter how fast he flies, he is always in the great array of mountain protection, and he can't move forward.
Zihua Immortal Gu looked at this scene and finally showed a smile.
"That's fine! As long as this kid understands that we don't welcome him, maybe he'll give up. β
"Good idea." Donghua Jianjun shook his head, "But it's not practical." β
"Could it be that Senior Brother saw something?" Zihua Immortal Gu was startled and hurriedly asked.
Donghua Sword Monarch sighed: "He's about to rush out." β
Before the words fell, a loud roar sounded in the mountain protection array, and the cloud that had been rotating around the mountain protection array suddenly stopped, and then swam gently like a swimming fish, and actually penetrated the defense line that could not be broken through in the loop, and drilled into the second layer of the mountain protection array.
Donghua Sword Monarch showed a look of approval on his face, but he still waved his hand, and the light of the mountain protection array flickered, and two closed gates were conjured in front of Wu Jie.
The gate on the right was red, and from a distance you could feel the terrible heat in it, making it impossible to get closer; The gate on the left is dark and deep as the sea, but it is intimidating.
"What kind of means is this?" Wu Xie was stunned for a moment, did not rush forward, and asked everyone in the Heavenly Book World in a low voice.
"It should be another ban, I just don't know what type it is." Jasmine said, "But it should be one of the two, the two paths are different - with your master's ability, the door on the right is not difficult for you at all!" β
"That's right! It's just playing with fire, are you still afraid of playing with fire, fourth? β
Unlike Jasmine Du Ruo, Ye Hong looked at the two doors carefully, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "I really can't imagine that in this Purple Electric Sword Sect, there are still methods from the past. β
"Shoyi?" Wu Xie was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked.
"There have been three generations before and after the Daomen, Taiping Dao, Zhengyi, and Taishang Dao, you know this, right?"
"Of course, in the history of the Daomen, every inner disciple of the Yujing Sect must be memorized, and if you don't memorize it, you will be punished and confined."
"Taiping Road is too old, so we won't talk about it; Zhengyi is created by the ancestor of Zhengyi before the combination of the Tao in the past, which integrates talismans, sacrifices and practices, which can be described as a grand sect. And these two gates on the left and right reminded me of the methods that the legend said were used to test the disciples. Ye Hong said with a smile, "The left heart is closed, and the right is fire." β
Wu Xie frowned slightly and asked, "May I ask what is going on with this left heart pass and right fire pass?" β
Ye Hong nodded with a smile and explained in detail.
It turned out that in the past, he was very strict with his disciples, but if any disciple wanted to go out of the mountain, he must walk from the left and right passes to verify his cultivation. These two levels on the left and right are the left heart pass and the right fire pass.
The left heart is full of illusions, and there are even secret methods from the extraterritorial heavenly demons, which can provoke the disciples' hearts. But all the disciples whose thoughts are not pure enough, whose will is not firm enough, and whose minds are not transparent enough, will definitely be trapped by the demons in their hearts, lose their clarity in a daze, and finally fall asleep, and the right fire level tests the magic power, and if the mana is not strong enough, they will be burned by the infinite flames, and they will faint from the terrifying heat, which is also unqualified.
It is precisely because of the test of the left and right levels that every disciple of Zhengyi is extraordinary, and he rarely suffers losses when he walks the heavens and all worlds, and he has laid a great reputation for Zhengyi.
"But I really didn't expect that this Purple Electric Sword Sect, as a divine sect, would actually refer to Zhengyi's means!" Ye Hong shook his head and smiled, "If the founder of the Divine Sect, only my Dao Ancestor, knew about it, I'm afraid he would shake his head and sigh." β
Wu Xie was silent for a moment and couldn't help laughing.
"In that case, then I'll turn it off from the right fire!"
As he spoke, he stepped forward, ignoring the scorching heat, and walked straight to the crimson door, raising his hand to push it open.
As soon as the door opened, a raging flame erupted to engulf him whole.
But as soon as the flames touched Wu Jie's body, they disappeared abruptly, and he didn't hesitate for a single step, and walked straight along the red passage behind the door.
All the way forward, the fire became more and more fierce, but where Wu Xie walked, the fire was much smaller.
In the Heavenly Book World, Jasmine couldn't help but laugh as she watched the infinite flames continue to flow into the volcano.
"This is simply a food delivery to the door, if you don't eat it well, I'm sorry for myself!"
Wu Xie was also smiling and kept walking forward.
This time, it only took him less than a quarter of an hour to walk out of the entire fire passβin fact, the fire pass was at least ten times as long, but in the main hall of the Purple Electric Sword Sect, Donghua Sword Monarch had already shook his head and ended this test ahead of schedule.
He is also a person who knows goods, and when he saw that Wu Xie had the means to collect flames, how could he give Wu Xie the infinite flames accumulated by his sect over the centuries in vain?
"The second level has passed," he whispered, "and if you can even pass the third, then I will let you in." β
"It's just a matter of letting you in!" Zihua Immortal Gu hurriedly persuaded, "You must not let him take Yin Shuang away easily!" β
"Of course!" Donghua Jianjun smiled, "If you want to take away the genius disciples of our Divine Sect, it is not enough to pass the three levels!" β
Wu Xie didn't hear their conversation, and at this moment he was standing at the door of the third level, looking at the huge stone wall, silent.
This third level is an incomparably huge and incomparably solid wall, blocking his way in the simplest and most unpretentious way!
