Chapter 245: The Immortal Emperor
The rain in the small mountain realm has been falling non-stop, and it has been raining for a full day, and the originally ominous small mountain realm is particularly gloomy and terrifying under the looting of this torrential rain.
And far away in the sea area three thousand miles north of Fengdu City, a group of demon cultivators were hurriedly gathering towards a floating island in the sky.
Huge submarine mountain ranges, ravines, gorgeous and noble caves are located one after another on the top of the submarine mountain peak, or on the mountainside, or on the flat ground.
At a glance, tens of thousands of cave mansions have been built, and demon cultivators are coming and going in groups.
In the middle of this huge submarine mountain range, the huge Immortal Royal Court Temple is being built here, standing on top of the Divine Palace, you can see all the mountains at a glance, and none of the other cave buildings has a height to catch up with the height of the Immortal Royal Court Temple, and the area of the Royal Court Temple is even more outrageous.
The Immortal Royal Court as a whole is like a yin-yang matrix, and the Immortal Royal Court Temple is in the center of the matrix, and twelve palaces have been established in the remaining twelve array eyes, and between the twelve palaces there are gardens, single courtyards, pavilions, and so on. The guards of the entire Immortal Court reached a terrifying tens of thousandsβ
North District of Shenyuandong Prefecture.
But seeing the sea of illusion in the deepest part of the cloud tomb, the three pillars of the gods connected the sky and the earth as if they had existed forever, and in the high altitude of the illusory sea formed by the three pillars of the gods, several streamers swept across the sky and flew directly towards the sea of illusion.
A sea of vanity, a group of secret rooms.
But at this time, half of the underground secret chambers hidden under the mountains have been destroyed at this time, but because they are underground, the mountains above the ground have hardly changed, and if there is any change, only the entrance to the underground secret chamber group has been shattered.
But the entrance to the cave is in the rockery, and you can't see it if you don't look carefully.
And this underground secret room group, even if it is the escort team of the Immortal God Source, every time they patrol here, they need to take a detour, because this is the order of the patriarch Ziyang Zhenren, he has been refining the black jade box in the secret room all the time for half a year, and naturally he doesn't want anyone to get close.
A moment later, the streams of light reached the mountains of the Sea of Illusion secret chambers, and went down diagonally along the passage, directly entering the secret chamber group below, but as soon as they entered the secret room group below, the eight Dharma protectors, including Chongyang Zhenren, were stunned to see the scene in front of them.
Almost all of the original secret rooms were destroyed, and all the rubble was swept to the surrounding edges, and a huge open space was cleared out of the secret room group below, with a length and width of nearly six or seven hundred meters.
"Look, that's blood!" one of the blue-clad protectors shouted, pointing to a spot in the clearing.
The rest of the major Dharma Protectors also looked in the direction of their fingers, and sure enough, there was an extremely terrifying pool of blood, which was the blood of the demon dragon.
Several Dharma protectors looked at each other, after a big battle here, but they didn't know at all, at this moment, Ziyang Zhenren was alive or dead, they didn't know at all, in combination with the current situation analysis of the undead clan, these Dharma protectors also felt bad.
"Could it be that the cultivator is here again?" a small voice muttered in the midst of the crowd.
A dark cloud hung over everyone's faces.
Don't worry about the cultivator, Chongyang Zhenren, who is the deputy patriarch, looked at the dragon blood on the ground, knowing that something was wrong, and frowned, but seeing that almost all of the nine Dharma Protectors came, he couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Why are you all here?"
"I received an order from the Divine Source, it is an order issued by the patriarch himself, pass me on to the Divine Source quickly!"
"yes, so am I-"
"I also came here by order of the patriarchβ"
Everyone said that almost all of them came here because they were ordered by the patriarch Ziyang Zhenren.
Chongyang Zhenren nodded slightly after hearing these words, and said in his heart that he also came after receiving a message from his senior brother, so it seems that there is something wrong with it.
"Do you know where Di Protector is?" asked Chongyang Zhenren.
Only then did everyone realize that all the Dharma Protectors had arrived, but Di Qing was not there, and everyone was talking about it.
"Since the patriarch handed over most of his troops to Di Qing, he has rarely been seen, and it is said that he is cultivating in retreat. β
"I also heard that he has been in contact with the people of Fengdu City recently, but the people of the Star-Eyed Fish Clan have seen him go to Fengdu City many times, maybe he is planning something big with those sword cultivators?ββ
"Well, well, I've heard that many demon clans have invaded the Xiaoshan Realm recently, and the smoke of the war has even spread to Penglai Immortal Cityββ"
"You know this fart, do you know where Fengdu is, do you know where Xiaoshan Realm is?"
"Where?"
"The small mountain realm is an important checkpoint in the Penglai realm, and the demon clan must break the small mountain realm if they want to invade the Penglai realm, so the real purpose of this war is not to break the city of Fengdu, but to Penglai Immortal City!"
ββββββ
Seeing that the more everyone talked, the more outrageous it became, the more they talked, the more they didn't make sense, this time they came here for the patriarch's business, how did they get to Penglai Immortal City-
Chongyang Zhenren coughed a few times, looked at Qinglong, Qinglong is Di Qing's cronies, even if the relationship between Qinglong and Di Qing was not bad in the past, although Qinglong and Chongyang Zhenren did not agree, but at this time, Chongyang Zhenren still asked as the deputy patriarch: "Qinglong Protector, do you know the whereabouts of Di Protector?"
Qinglong's face was a little ugly, since the last time Di Qing took over the military power given by the patriarch, everything in the clan, including chasing and killing Qin Mu, was all in Di Qing's hands, so he was almost all cultivating in his own cave mansion like other Dharma protectors, and he had never come out at all, let alone had any connection with Di Qing.
"In the past six months, I have rarely interacted with Di Protector, but as far as I know, he will never do anything to be sorry for his own clan, and this I Qinglong can guarantee it with the head of the item!"
Although Qinglong didn't say anything on the side, when he heard these guys chirping crookedly and saying some slanderous things against Di Qing, he didn't feel good in his heart, so he couldn't help but defend Di Qing.
Chongyang Zhenren nodded slightly, and said, "Leave him alone now, let's go!"
As soon as the deputy patriarch gave an order, the Dharma protectors immediately left the underground secret room group and looked towards the room where everyone's soul jade slips were hidden, the room with the soul jade slips was checked every day, and there were also people and high-level demon beasts guarding outside.
The two guards watched the Eight Dharma Protectors arrive together, and they were immediately shocked.
"Meet your Excellency. The two guards knelt down on one knee and said.
Chongyang Zhenren looked at the guard and shouted, "You two, quickly open the door." β
This house is protected by a prohibition, and Chongyang Zhenren does not want to use force to force this door open.
"Yes, Deputy Patriarch. β
A guard got up and shot out several demon yuan li with one hand and entered the door, only to see a flash of blue light, and the door opened automatically and slowly.
The door opened, and the eight great protectors outside the room also saw a piece of soul jade slip placed on the spiritual platform in the center of the room, and at this moment, the fast soul jade slip on the top had been shattered, and the soul jade slip was the immortal clan patriarch Ziyang Zhenren!
The faces of the eight Dharma protectors changed at the same time!
The patriarch of the undead clan, Ziyang Zhenren, is dead!
Seeing that the soul jade slip belonging to Ziyang Zhenren was shattered, almost everyone present knew what it meant.
In the Eight Demon Cave Mansion, every demon cultivator will have his own soul jade slip, and some of the little demon soul jade slips are guarded by themselves, and almost all the soul jade slips of big people like Shenyuan are stored in the temple of Shenyuan, the purpose of this is to prevent someone from rebelling in Shenyuan, but to know the life and death information of the owner of the soul jade slip.
Because these big people often go out to run errands, the people in the clan will know their life and death through the guΓ² soul jade slip.
And now the piece of soul jade that belonged to Ziyang Zhenren has been shattered, and there is no doubt that Ziyang Zhenren is dead at this time!
The undead clan is a large group in the overseas cultivation realm, and now that Ziyang Zhenren is dead, the Eight Demon Cave Mansion will be leaderless, and at this moment, there is no need to care who killed Ziyang Zhenren, even if they can't find anything, because they all know that the masters who can kill Ziyang Zhenren are what they can deal with, in the cultivation realm, the only truth that wants to survive is not to go against those who are higher than their own cultivation, and don't always think about revenge.
Now for the undead, the most important thing is to elect a new patriarch!
The expressions of the eight Dharma Protectors have become weird!
"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the patriarch is dead, there is no information about the murderer. However, observing the scene of the fight in the underground secret room group, it can be determined that the murderer should be fighting with the patriarch head-on, and the patriarch even turned into the body, so it is conceivable that the murderer's cultivation must be unfathomable. β
One of the Dharma Protectors, covered in scales, said.
The other blue-clothed protector nodded: "Indeed, to be able to kill the patriarch head-on, the strength of the murderer has at least reached the realm of transforming into a sky. β
"Oh, Huatian Realm? To put it simply, there are only many Yuanying Realm masters in the range of these Eight Demon Cave Mansions, and that murderer is Huatian Realm, which is enough to have one more realm than us!"
"I can't say that, like other caves, there are actually some masters of the Heaven Transformation Realm, those predecessors are all antique-level cultivators who survived in ancient times, but those old guys are arrogant and ruthless, and they don't care about the rise and fall of the immortal clan hundreds of years ago, but we can't do anything about those old guys, who calls their cultivation higher than ours?"
"But why would a master who has reached this level kill our patriarch?" said a female demon cultivator, "The patriarch has been killed, what can we do as protectors?"
The blue-clothed protector said coldly: "If you don't try, you will retreat, and in the future, it will be transmitted to the cultivation realm, how can our immortal clan gain a foothold?"
The scale-covered protector smiled and said: "Witch Protector, if I guess correctly, your strength has just reached the middle stage of the Yuan Infant, to say the least, you have also cultivated for two hundred years, you may still be able to make a few moves with that murderer, but what about us, we will be killed by him before we even have a chance to touch that murderer." That's why I say that the most important thing now is not revenge, but the election of a new patriarch. β
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the other Dharma protectors lit up.
In fact, the words just now are all nonsense, and the election of the patriarch is the most important.
"If you want to choose the patriarch, this is at least above us, I think the deputy patriarch will be the patriarch, and a few of us will definitely agree. The deputy patriarch is the patriarch's junior brother, and his cultivation is above you and me, so it is estimated that no one will object. β
The female demon cultivator said with a flattering smile: "The strength of the deputy patriarch is doubtful, if the deputy patriarch serves as the patriarch, this mermaid is only the head of Chongyang Zhenren." β
The mighty man covered in scales also said: "I have no opinion, whoever is strong will be the patriarch, this is the old rule." β
"Well, our brother has no opinion!"
"Ahem, ahem. Chongyang Zhenren coughed twice, and then said with a smile: "It's not up to a few of us to decide who will be the patriarch, and the rest of the people in the cave mansion have to discuss it with them." β
For the patriarch, Chongyang Zhenren is not very enthusiastic, but he is not resistant.
The mighty man covered in scales wiped his head and said, "Yes, there are the rest of the Eight Great Caves." The death of the patriarch Those guys don't know yet, the relatively undead clan is supported by this Eight Demon Cave Mansion."
"Who the fuck told you that our undead clan was propped up by those low-level demon cultivators?" said the blue-clothed protector angrily, "The undead clan has always been supported by the divine source, and those cave house demon cultivators don't count as bullshit!"
Qinglong suddenly said: "Is the matter of running for the patriarch to wait until we find Di Protector, after all, now more than half of the forces of the undead clan are planted in his cave mansion, if he knows that we are running for the position of patriarch like this privately, once we rebel, the consequences will be unimaginable." β
When everyone heard this reality, they were silent.
Now Di Qing has hundreds of thousands of troops in his hands, and he also has a Tongtian map in his hand, and his own cultivation is also unfathomable, and he has obtained the inheritance of the three immortal emperors of the immortal clan.
Chongyang Zhenren saw that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so he smiled awkwardly: "Eh, what Brother Qinglong said is reasonable. We'll wait for Protector Di to come back, but where are we going to find Protector Di now?"
In the Sea of Illusion, an area beneath the feet of these Dharma protectors, a man in a begonia cloak was walking towards a huge bronze gate.
Behind the bronze gate is a huge outer space.
The space is huge, and below is a huge body of water, and the light from nowhere shines on the water, and the mist is shining a strange white under the light.
At the bottom of the water, there seemed to be a huge black creature swimming, extremely fast and moving, but there was no ripple on the surface of the water, as if nothing had happened.
Further up are three magnificent and huge suspended palaces, these three temples are very different from the palaces of the undead gods in terms of style and decoration, and they look even more ancient and mysterious.
The mist was misty, and the water suddenly seemed to be blown by a strong wind, and wisps of red-black smoke slowly dispersed and gathered in the white light, and finally transformed into a black figure and appeared on the surface of the lake.
It was a man in a cloak and a ghost mask.
The ghost-faced man's feet were quietly pressed against the surface of the lake, as quiet as a ghost locking his soul in the middle of the night. Even the huge black creature at the bottom of the lake disappeared without a trace, as if the scene was just an illusion in the water.
"Today, the world is nothing but an empty cocoon, and everything lives in the hollow wreckage, like rats and ants. β
The sound came from the bottom of the water, ethereal and complex, like the Sanskrit sound of the Buddha from some distant country.
At this time, I don't know where the wind came from, and it blew across the lake at great speed.
The ghost-faced man stood in the void without moving, as if waiting for the man who spoke to emerge from the water.
But for a moment, there was no sound around, and as the sound disappeared, I saw a huge black whirlpool appear on the surface of the water, and finally the whole water rolled up, and suddenly at this moment, but a dragon roar, a huge cyan dragon rushed out from the bottom of the water and flew towards the sky.
The divine dragon that appears here is very different from ordinary dragons, this divine dragon does not belong to any kind of spirit beast, let alone a demon beast that has opened up spiritual intelligence, but a real ancient divine dragon.
The cyan dragon hovered in the void, its eyes slightly closed, and its huge volume enveloped the sky.
The volume of this divine dragon is many, many times larger than that of ordinary dragons, the body surface runes are flowing, the aura is swirling, and both the appearance and the sound of the dragon roar are very different from ordinary dragons.
And that voice just now came from the divine consciousness of this divine dragon.
To be precise, it should have come from the divine consciousness of the three immortal emperors.
As early as 13,000 years ago, the three immortal emperors were gone, and now their bodies are lying in the three temples in the sky, in the eyes of the undead clan, except for a few high-level figures who know the inside story, ordinary demon cultivators think that the three immortal emperors are still alive, but in fact, it is only the divine consciousness of the three of them that has remained in this sea of illusion. The divine consciousness of the three people is combined, and all of them are attached to this divine dragon, which means that this divine dragon actually represents the three immortal emperors.
The man wearing the ghost mask looked up at the divine dragon, and he used his divine sense to transmit the voice at this time: "I have something unclear, and I have come to ask the three immortal emperors for advice today?"
"Oh?" said one of the old voices, puzzled, "you can tell me for now. β
"Back then, the Ten Thousand Demon Kings invaded the Eight Demon Cave Mansion, and the three immortal emperors could have easily killed him, but this power could not be inherited and could only be attached to this void, and there was no shortage of outstanding people in the undead clan, why did you choose me in the first place?"
"The reason is very simple, because this power belongs to the Hongmeng realm, and you are a pure-blood person in the Hongmeng realm. Clearly, you have lived up to our expectations. Another, more powerful voice said.
"Then why have you restricted me from using that power since that killing?" the man's tone was filled with confusion and anger.
"While you are fit to have this power, your plane is not fit to see it. Do you understand this?"
The deep voice continued.
