At this moment, the demon dragon in the lake seemed to sense the appearance of a strange visitor, and drilled out of the deep water, with a round body up to three feet long, covered with thick armor of green, green, red and red, and four big feet that looked like palms and claws, claws and claws, and webbed scales, with a long pointed tail, waving powerfully behind him.

Its head is particularly huge, with two small horns like an antelope on the top, and each green hair on its head is as thick as a child's arm, hanging down on both sides, its green eyes are as large as lanterns, its nostrils are flattened and raised, its mouth is closed tightly, and its mouth is full of short whiskers like pins and needles.

But in Zhao Qing's opinion, it looks like a mutated and enlarged version of the mermaid just now, with green hair and green flames burning in his eyes, and in terms of strength, it is more than ten times that of the mermaid monster, and his spirituality is also much higher, maybe it is the source of the mermaid in the lake, or it has other connections.

It seemed to know that Zhao Qing's strength was far from being his own match, and the spiritual demon dragon did not show hostility like a mermaid, but took the initiative to let out a low and gentle whistling, like crying, the voice was subdued and frustrated, and it was very pleasant, as if expressing its welcome.

"The relief of the "God of War Catalogue" hidden in this hall can be described as the supreme sacred book of Taoism, with the god of war riding the dragon to rush to the nine heavens, incarnating into the fireball of the Void Day, and then gradually splitting and deriving hundreds of millions of stars, endless universe ......"

"The cultivation path contained in it has long gone beyond all the worldly texts, and can be traced back to the origin of the birth and death of thousands of universes, thus breaking through the shackles of the Infinite Void on this universe and entering the sea of chaos that gives birth to infinite universes."

"However, first transcending the ordinary space and entering the world of the void, and then transcending the void and leaving this lonely and isolated desert island universe, the difficulties and obstacles can be imagined. If you practice this skill and still have demonic thoughts in your heart, the person who has achieved it is no longer the god of war who has broken through the nine heavens, but the great dragon that he has stepped down and mounted. ”

"Like this demon dragon who can be called the overlord of the lake, he was originally a peerless genius who created the prototype of the demon path in ancient times, but because he did not shape an unswerving tenacious Dao heart, he uncontrollably transformed into a dragon-shaped beast when he practiced supreme divine skills."

"Eventually, he lost everything he had ever had, and even his memories faded due to reincarnation every four or five hundred years, forgetting everything except the Temple of War and the underground lake."

Separated by a thousand stone steps and the waters of Lixu, the voice of the Heavenly Demon seemed to erase the difference between distance and proximity, sounding in the same timbre and tone in every corner of this place, as if thousands of people were opening their mouths in unison, gradually revealing the secrets of the God of War Catalogue.

According to him, whether it is the demon dragon in the lake that is stronger than the great grandmaster, or the mermaid monster with a total of dozens of them, it is the result of the practice of the "God of War Catalogue" and the result of "going mad".

"In other words, there are two results in the cultivation of the God of War Catalogue, the former cultivates the path to become the 'God of War', and the latter cultivates demons and turns into 'alien beasts'? Well, but I don't know what kind of existence the desert island universe and the sea of chaos are? ”

The general image of the Heavenly Demon Cangxuan, Zhao Qing had already learned a thing or two from the "Demon Dao Caprice", and soon recognized his identity according to his advanced cultivation, and at the same time, he also had some suspicions about the original identity of the demon dragon and other strange beasts, and speculated that it should be Chi You and his relatives who were rumored to be descendants of Emperor Yan.

Although the two factions and six realms of the Demon Gate were established in the hands of the Evil Emperor Xie Wei, and the ten volumes of the "Heavenly Demon Strategy" as the foundation of their faction came from the earlier Heavenly Demon Cangxuan, the original origin of the Demon Gate's martial arts and thought is generally believed to be Chi You, who once competed with the Yellow Emperor, and has a long history that can be traced back to ancient times.

Of course, judging from the fact that Chi You practiced the wrong magic skill and turned into a demon dragon who lost his memory, the martial arts of this world are not necessarily the older and more powerful, as a descendant of the Demon Sect, Cang Xuan absorbed the essence of the hundred schools of thought, and obtained the true inheritance of Taoism, and pioneered the method of entering the Tao from the devil, but he came from behind and achieved higher achievements.

In addition, the demon dragon will enter some kind of special reincarnation "reincarnation" every four or five hundred years, and it needs to accumulate memories again, which also just explains the reason why the world's first civil engineering master Bei Shengtian, who entered the temple thirty years earlier than Chuanying in "Broken Void", has ordinary martial arts and can explore it at will, but is not attacked by the demon dragon.

There is a high probability that during that time, the demon dragon was in the stage of "reincarnation" and rebirth, and could not move normally, so it did not harm Bei Shengtian, who was not even congenital, and when the eagle entered the palace, it was still only a young young state, and after a fight, he actually made friends with it.

Thinking of this, Zhao Qing also sensed that the current magic dragon's psychological age was not too old, and after tossing and dancing on the surface of the lake for a while to show its vitality and joy, he took the initiative to dive into the bottom of the lake, picked some fruits of plants in the lake, and held them in his mouth.

As the boat reached the edge of the island where the Temple of War was located, the dragon re-emerged from the water and placed it at the bottom of the stone steps next to the lake, as if to offer a welcome gift.

Although the Demon Dragon's bloody mouth with a lot of green hair was not very clean, it was a good intention after all, so Zhao Qing picked up a few of the rare fruits and put them into the bag she had made up casually.

"Anything that begins, there is an end. The seemingly boundless, but in fact finite, universe is no exception. In the sea of chaos that is difficult to describe in words, there are countless island universes scattered, and they are just insignificant dots in the vast sea of chaos. ”

"The island universe is born one by one, destroyed one by one, from nothing to nothing, from nothing to nothing, it seems that there is no reason, there is no purpose, but it is endlessly beginning and dying, time extends infinitely in front of you and me, and also in the back, both in an instant, but also without beginning and end."

"In the face of this great existence that transcends time and space and transcends the universe, whether you and I are as outstanding in cultivation as the world, or the weakest microscopic fungus, they are just worthless dust, and it is difficult to peek into chaos from the exit of the universe in their lifetime."

With the sound of the lake hitting the stone steps with a "crackling" sound, the Heavenly Demon Cangxuan slowly walked down from the thousand-step stone steps, sighing in his mouth, faintly revealing a deep and almost desperate sadness.

The lowest steps of the stone steps are immersed in the lake water, a large stone turtle with a length of more than eight feet is lying at the lowest place of the stone steps, it seems that it is just about to leave the water ashore, the hind feet are still immersed in the water, and the head is raised towards the main gate high above.

Jumping from the ice boat to the shore, Zhao Qing pondered the meaning of Cangxuan's words, and thought about it in his heart, while condensing layers of clouds and mist and placing them under his feet, the whole person floated above the stone turtle, carefully looking at the intricate symbols on the turtle's back.

I saw that among these patterns, not only did they include the version of the Hetu Luo Book that was circulated in the outside world, but they were also much more complex, far more advanced than the number of Yili techniques in the world, and it was most likely left by the masters who established the Temple of the God of War;

In her opinion, on the surface, it is a schematic diagram that records the operation of the Temple of the God of War, so that visitors can know what kind of changes are taking place in this area, but it is also an information system that can be changed endlessly, and can interpret almost infinite mystical morality.

Looking further, this mysterious information system, which can be described in abnormal language, seems to be demonstrating the way to refine higher-order pure energy through the mutual transformation of yin and yang, and it has a wide range of adaptability, which is really earth-shattering.

Of course, compared with the "God of War Catalog" in Cangxuan's mouth, which can shatter the void twice and transcend the current universe, it is obviously still a big difference.

To tell the truth, the secret of the God of War Temple can involve the Sea of Chaos that gave birth to the universe of hundreds of millions of islands, and such a high-end worldview is indeed a bit unexpected to her.

Just as Zhao Qing was deducing the stone turtle pattern with his heart and vaguely had a deeper understanding of the number of heaven and earth, at the door of the hall behind the Heavenly Demon Cangxuan, suddenly there was a middle-aged man wearing Confucian clothes and a brocade robe.

This person is tall and straight, chic and good-looking, with a little gray temples, and his face is a little cool, and Zhao Qing, who is pretending to be Shi Qingxuan, is pretending to be Shi Qingxuan, but his eyes are as cold as ice and snow, and he seems to have no human feelings, and there is an indescribable strange temperament.

As soon as he walked out of the solemn and solemn hall, he noticed Zhao Qing's appearance at this time when he looked down the steps, his cold expression softened, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.

Shi Zhixuan? It seems that the Wild Goose Palace outside has been open for a while, so much so that this person entered the Temple of the God of War earlier than me, and seems to have received guidance from Cangxuan?

Sensing the gaze from above, Zhao Qing immediately recognized this peerless wizard of the previous generation who had been hiding from XZ due to the cleaning of the Demon Gate and disappeared without a trace after the Eastern and Western Turks were wiped out, and secretly thought in his heart about how to properly deal with the other party.

also recognized Shi Zhixuan's identity, and knew that he was a wanted criminal with a bounty on Anguo, Fu Cailin next to her immediately took a step forward, and his sword was suddenly unsheathed, and his momentum was a hundred zhang away from it, and he was secretly frightened by Shi Zhixuan's obvious outreach and spiritual power that seemed to overwhelm him.

Shi Zhixuan was allowed to delve into the legendary God of War Catalogue in this place, and it was not ruled out that his person had some kind of relationship with another unfathomable senior master, if they joined forces to attack, would we be sure of victory?

Seeing from afar, Shi Zhixuan, who seemed to be a little excited, began to rush down from the high steps, quickly overtaking the Heavenly Demon Cangxuan, who was only walking normally, and rushed straight towards his group, Fu Cailin felt a little irritable in his heart, and wanted to open his mouth to remind Zhao Qing not to immerse himself in the stone turtle pattern anymore.

Drawing his sword and guarding the side of the stone turtle, he silently deduced the subtlety of the illusionary demon body method from the opponent's footwork, trying to see through Shi Zhixuan's possible moves, and drawing countless lines with a certain indescribable beauty like a wild scribble in the air;

When Shi Zhixuan finally came to the range of ten zhang, the tip of the sword suddenly appeared above the lake, and every point seemed to be attacking him, and every point seemed to be eternal, like the starry sky in the sky, with its own constant flavor in the changing cycle.

That is, when Fu Shi and the two were about to fight each other, Zhao Qing suddenly raised his head and glanced at Cangxuan, who was indifferent, as if he had a tacit understanding, and in the next moment, the world suddenly changed.

Fu Cailin found himself on top of a wooden building, the outside world changing from the dimness of an underground lake to a starry sky and the sparse lights around it.

On closer inspection, it can be seen that this place should be a large Buddhist temple in the style of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the shape of the city frame outlined by the lights at night in the distance is in line with the Luoyang City of the Han Dynasty, which makes people conjecture:

Have you traveled through hundreds of years of time and space, and came to the White Horse Temple, which was built in the eleventh year of Yongping in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Standing on the top of a pagoda in the temple, Fu Cailin did not put away the offensive of swordsmanship, just because he saw that on another pagoda opposite, there was a young man who looked quite similar to Shi Zhixuan, and at the same time noticed that his skill cultivation had become an attribute of both Buddhism and Taoism, and the true qi was no longer the direction of the "Nine Xuan Dafa".

The moment he realized that he had become another person, the memories of the owner of this body replayed in his mind, and he knew that the person opposite was not only to pursue his junior sister who was respected as the "first person of the Daomen", but also because of the irresolvable contradiction between the good and the devil, and to start a tragic duel with him.

Suddenly, Fu Cailin had a clear sense in his heart, knowing that the young man in front of him, who looked only in his twenties and was full of spirit, should be the image of Shi Zhixuan, and it was also the evil emperor Xie Wei who met Dini at the beginning of the past;

And the strange identity of "myself" now, theoretically it is the Buddhist great virtue "Heavenly Monk" who later founded the Jingnian Zen Temple, who was originally as good at swordsmanship as Dini, but because of the defeat in this battle in history, he abandoned the sword in the future and cut off his secular feelings.

Without the extra mind to sort out this complicated relationship, Fu Cailin noticed that Shi Zhixuan's Xie Wei was more than ten years younger than him, but his cultivation was not inferior, and he was obviously superior in the quality of the true qi he cultivated.

In the blink of an eye, as Shi Zhixuan swooped in, he felt that the space he was in was suddenly sunken, like glued to the boundless cobweb, difficult to flutter his wings and fly away, as if he was trapped in a nightmare that would never wake up, and the performance of sword skills was greatly limited in spirit and reality.

I don't know what new method Shi Zhixuan has practiced, although he is fighting against the sharp sword with his bare hands, but the aura released is filled with the pressure of killing and injury, and there are thousands of invisible sharp energy, which is cutting the opponent's body protection true qi.

The sound of fist and sword clashing sounded like firecrackers, dense and fast, Shi Zhixuan advanced and retreated freely in the sword light energy, conjuring up and falling figures one by one, the fists and palms rose and fell like a tide, sometimes strong and sometimes weak, when weak, the sword momentum was great, and when it was strong, the sword light was forced to converge, revealing a chic and freehand feeling.

However, although it only took dozens of moves to obviously suppress Fu Cailin, who had a slightly inferior foundation, every time Shi Zhixuan used the secret trick in the "Seven Illusions of Immortality", he would be reluctantly accepted by the other party who had inexplicably born a new inspiration and forcibly leveled the situation that was at a disadvantage.

And when the two of them performed their stunts as Heavenly Monk and Xie Wei, in the sky above the entire Hanluoyang City, Zhao Qing'an, who was ten thousand feet tall, sat on a chair as large as a mountain on one side of the canopy, and on the other side sat the heavenly demon Cangxuan, which was as high as ten thousand feet;

Like two supreme gods who are beyond the world and cannot be detected by mortals in any way, they quietly observe the scene on the stupa of the White Horse Temple below, and her ancient divine weapon rests on the table in the middle, as if she wants to cut the Chu River and Han realm with the seater on the other side.

There is no doubt that this is a spiritual confrontation involving the extremely high and deep inner realm, Zhao Qing and Cangxuan respectively sent Fu Cailin and Shi Zhixuan designated by the two into the gladiatorial arena involving reincarnation with an unimaginable tacit understanding, and then guided each other in the dark;

It's not that they want to use an unprecedented way to decide their victory, but the two want to have a deep understanding of each other's Taoism and martial arts, and interpret their thoughts in all aspects by launching a duel similar to the Dafa of Heaven and Earth.

The current fist and sword battle between the Heavenly Monk and Xie Wei was exactly the scene that really happened to Fu Cailin and Shi Zhixuan several generations ago, and under the spiritual guidance of the special location established in the Temple of the God of War, it was repeated again in the depths of their hearts;

However, unlike the fact that the two have never formally intersected since this life, with the complete memories of the two in later generations, and with Zhao Qing and Cangxuan constantly making indirect spiritual interventions on the side, the direction of this strange reincarnation world will obviously be very different from history.

From time to time, he interfered with Fu Cailin's thoughts of changing his moves that flashed in his heart, so that the sword moves he used exceeded the scope of the original sword technique, and could withstand the various secret methods of the Demon Gate used by Shi Zhixuan, Zhao Qing secretly thought in his heart, knowing that the straightforward one-man duel was definitely not the main direction of competition in this spiritual battle.

In the long-term confrontation that lasted for five or six generations and hundreds of years, victory or defeat in the general sense is no longer important, and only the cohesive development from the previous life to the next generation, involving various factors such as knowledge inheritance and social environment, can influence the changes in the situation for a very long period of time.

Because of this, although it was only the first time he saw the Heavenly Demon Cangxuan, and he didn't speak much, through pure spiritual induction, Zhao Qing already understood that there was a huge difference between them in terms of the most fundamental concepts, not just the difference in martial arts;

It is necessary to deduce it in a special way in order to know which of each other's ideas is superior and which is inferior, and finally determine the direction of the future development of human beings in this world, so that the future will have a little more possibility of survival in the face of the apocalypse.
