A crimson light flashed, and everything fell silent.

For some reason, the area swept by the red light, whether it was a mountain peak or a ravine, was completely inaccessible by the surging red sand stream.

Even the sand stream itself left a hollow area that never healed.

Luckily, Yan Yifeng, who was not standing in the direction of the red light, was completely stunned by this shocking scene, but after a short period of distraction, he was even more concerned about how Xu Cheng was.

However, worrying is one thing, Yan Yifeng still can't enter the Red Desolate Abyss.

In the area that has not been swept by the red light, the red sand flow is still dangerous, and in the area that has been swept through, Yan Yifeng is still bold enough to dare to try it, after all, that kind of power, with Yan Yifeng's cultivation, a little touch will also be the end of ashes.

However, even so, after hesitating, Yan Yifeng still ventured towards the ravine left by the crimson beam and walked slowly, stopping step by step, very cautious.

Here, Yan Yifeng cautiously stepped forward and was safe for a while, but when he returned to Xu Cheng's side, the situation was not very good.

At this time, Xu Cheng was no longer near the top of the mountain, but was covered in bruises, deeply embedded in a mountain rock halfway up the mountain.

The five swords and one seal that once surrounded his body, now the five swords have no spirituality, and they are irregularly scattered outside Xu Cheng from a few zhang to more than ten zhang, only the Yuan Tiantian Dao seal is still floating crookedly above Xu Cheng, but the aura is also extremely dim.

About half an hour later, Xu Cheng coughed out a mouthful of black blood in the silence and opened his eyes with great difficulty.

He struggled to crawl out of the rocks, and with the help of some spiritual energy passed down by the divine seal, he opened the storage spiritual vessel, took out a large handful of pills from it, threw it all into his mouth, and then began to sit cross-legged to heal his wounds.

This process was more protracted, and it took a day and a night for Xu Cheng to barely recover half of his spiritual power, and the injury was recuperated.

It's not that Xu Cheng doesn't want to continue cultivating, it's just that Xu Cheng is afraid that if he waits a little longer, in case that "famine" strikes again, he still has to save enough energy to dodge.

Besides, I don't know if the spiritual power influence of the Desolate Divine Light is fading, and there is gradually sand and dust around him, Xu Cheng doesn't want to go on another trip to the peak.

Therefore, after Xu Cheng got up, he immediately withdrew the Five Elements Wonderful Sword, and together with the Divine Seal, he returned it to the storage space, and only relied on the Dao Technique to control the sky, and headed towards the top of the mountain.

Without the help of the spirit sword, Xu Cheng moved a little slower, but it only took a quarter and a half to reach the vicinity of the mountain.

When he came here, because there was no invasion of the red sand flow, and the sky was just right, Xu Cheng could finally see the nearby scene clearly.

Near the top of the mountain, there is a winding path that leads to a platform at the top of the mountain, on which there is a roof hidden behind the rocks, if it is inhabited.

Xu Cheng perceived one or two with his divine thoughts, but he was shielded by mysterious spiritual power, and it seemed that he had to actually climb up to know the scene.

Xu Cheng hesitated for a moment, then summoned the slightly recovered Yuan Tiandao Seal, and walked up the steps along the path.

When Xu Cheng walked on the road, he found that on the rock walls on both sides of the road, there were actually small vines growing, and there were even grass and red flowers swaying near the houses at the highest place.

Xu Cheng walked past the end of the path, and the house hidden between the mountains and rocks was also completely exposed in front of Xu Cheng.

The house was very ordinary, and at first glance, it was quite in the mortal style of the southwestern states, the whole was low, built of blue bricks and plaster, with a small courtyard at the door, and a few green trees planted in front and back of the house.

Such an ordinary courtyard, placed outside, Xu Cheng would not even take a second look when he walked by, but here, it looked weird and abnormal.

Xu Cheng stood in front of the courtyard gate, which was actually a fence made of bamboo and wood strips, but he was still thinking about whether to step in.

Just as Xu Cheng was about to take a deep breath, a cool breeze suddenly blew, almost choking Xu Cheng's breath, and looking at it again, not only the fence bamboo door, but also the wooden door of the mud tile house opened towards him.

Xu Cheng knew that it was the owner of the house who invited him to enter, and he wanted to come to Chihuangzi to become famous for many years, and he would not use such an inferior method to lure the enemy deeper.

Xu Cheng walked into the house, the inside was much wider than the outside, but the layout was very simple, except for a bed in the corner, there was only a futon and a few not very bright candlesticks, placed in the middle of the room.

By the candlelight, Xu Cheng saw an elderly man with an extremely thin face, about a skinny skeleton, curled up on a futon, a red robe, like an oversized sheet, stacked on top of the old man's body.

"The younger generation is very old, and I have seen the predecessors of the Red Wilderness."

For some reason, when Xu Cheng saw this old man, he felt that he should be a red wilderness, and looking at his appearance and figure, although he spoke firmly, his tone was a little softer.

When the old man heard this, he slowly raised his slightly buried head, revealing a face that was old and indistinguishable from his facial features, and a pair of eyes with his eyelids down, and Gu Jing stared at Xu Cheng without waves.

Then, the old man's lips squirmed slightly, as if he hadn't spoken for too long, regaining the feeling of the year, but it didn't take long, and after a few breaths, the old man spoke in an old and hoarse voice, and said, "You are the first Divine Enlightenment Monk to come here...... ...... same as me"

Xu Cheng nodded slightly, he also confirmed that the old man was indeed the same as him now, and he was still in the realm of divine enlightenment.

The old man continued: "You have the Yuan Tiantian Dao Seal, and you are good at swordsmanship, are you the sword of the Zhengyuan Dojo or the next Demon Slaying True Person of the Demon Slaying Dojo?" ”

"The junior is currently studying under the Demon Slayer True Man."

"Well, as expected, those swordsmen in the Zhengyuan Dojo are too conservative to teach you swordsmanship like this......"

"Seniors praise falsely."

"So, are you here to refine your sword for the promotion of Wendao, or do you want to get rid of me, a demon who has been in the Desert State for nearly 10,000 years, for your master?"

When Xu Cheng heard this question, he was stunned for a moment, although he smiled slightly, he took a few steps forward and said: "The predecessor misunderstood, I came here to ask for it, and I also know the real contribution of the predecessor to the Desert Prefecture, and the predecessor does not need to be humble." ”

"And what are you here for?"

"Ask to borrow the immortal soul of the predecessors, the desolate god rune, and use it!"

When Chi Huangzi heard this, his dim eyes suddenly shot out of a devouring essence, and even the tone of his voice was no longer the same as before, but sped up a little, and said, "It turned out that he wanted to take away my Dao Ji!" Why, I haven't been born for 2,000 years, is Yuan Tiandao also such a style of forcible grabbing? ”

Seeing this, Xu Cheng hurriedly denied it and replied: "The seniors misunderstood, not because the seniors thought, but because I wanted to borrow the seniors' desolate runes to save a mortal remnant soul." ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this reason, the Red Wilderness was a little interested, and with a little mockery and confusion in his tone, he asked, "Oh? What kind of ability does this mortal have to make the future demon slaying real person come to find me, a person who is about to die, is it an unknown immortal soul that has never existed in the past? ”

"It's just an ordinary cloud immortal soul, in fact, the reason is very simple, it's just that this person died because of me, and I have to cut off the cause and effect."

"You're already thinking about ascending to the immortal......"

Chi Huangzi used a declarative tone, and there was still a bit of loneliness in it.

"Seniors, I don't know if I can use the rune?"

After Xu Cheng finished speaking, the two were speechless for a long time, and in this dim room, only candlelight flickered, confirming the passage of time.

The mood in Chi Huangzi's eyes was dark and uncertain, and his head was gradually buried.

Xu Cheng stood a few steps away in front of Chi Huangzi, holding a salute and full of humility.

"If you don't borrow it, you can't save people, you can only kill people."

When Xu Cheng heard this, a trace of disappointment flashed on his face, and he hurriedly spoke: "Everyone in the world thinks that the Desert State is spontaneously expanding, and it was true ten thousand years ago, but since one day ten thousand years ago, it has never been.

The Demon Killing Dojo has a secret volume of ten thousand repairs, there are red immortal monks in the southwest, and the immortal soul reflects the inheritance of the spiritual object of the ancient earth immortals, the desolate rune, and then due to the turmoil in Fengchuan Prefecture, he escaped into the desert state, and through the desolate rune, he expanded the territory of the immortals, in order to seek an opportunity to hear the Tao, and was known as the 'Red Desolate Son'......"

"Hey, it turns out that in my life, I can say it clearly just by these few words......"

"The life of the predecessors must be magnificent, whether it is to use the Ten Thousand Spirit Runes as a array, create a desert sandstorm, and force the people who have a foothold in the state to plant a spirit tree garden, so as to improve the environment of the desert state; Or is he trapped in his body, and he has locked the red sand stream alone for thousands of years, so as not to let it continue to be a disaster in the desert.

The most important thing is that even if the seniors already knew that they had used the Desolation Rune to push away the Taixu and build the Desert, there was no way to get the opportunity to hear the Dao, but they still took this as their responsibility, just because the seniors knew that once they recovered the power of the Desolation, then the Taixu would pour into a huge amount of Void Qi in an instant, and under the chain reaction, it would even destroy half of the land in the Desert State.

The life of the predecessors is enough to be called a great sage, so the predecessors ......"

"Okay" Chi Huangzi interrupted Xu Cheng's words, he listened to Xu Cheng describe his life, and he was really a little uneasy, but he also had his own difficulties.

I don't know if I haven't talked to anyone for too long, Chi Huangzi slowly spoke, and actually talked about his past: "When I was young, I practiced the Immortal Dao in the True Silence Sect in the Floating Cloud Immortal Dynasty.

Later, the Fuyun Immortal Dynasty was in turmoil, and then it evolved into a chaotic shuffle of the entire Fengchuan Prefecture Xiuzhen forces, and in that turmoil, because I did not agree with the path of the sect, I broke away from the True Silence Sect and came to the Desert Prefecture to find opportunities according to Lu Qingxuan's guidance.

At the beginning of my cultivation, I never felt that the immortal seed and the immortal destiny had much influence on me, but the more I went on, the more I knew how inferior the immortal seed was, and how much resistance it had to break through the realm.

When I failed to condense my divine heart three times in a row, I had already given up on myself, but fortunately I met Lu Qingxuan again, and after his guidance, I rekindled my willingness to practice, after all, I thought at that time, the master of the Great Black Heaven Gate could smell it with the Xuanxi Immortal Seed, why couldn't I?

So after that, I began to use the desolate divinity to fight against the erosion of the void, and it was also during this time that I was fortunate to find the original remnants of the desolate rune, and then I practiced all the way to the peak of divine enlightenment.

It's a pity that my opportunity to hear the Tao is always in the future, and after Lu Qingxuan and his Taoist companions flew to the Holy Heaven Domain together, the people who could help me no longer existed, and over the years, my body could not bear such a violent consumption of spiritual power, and finally ended up with such an aging scene......

Boy, it's not that I don't borrow it, but once I leave my body, I will die immediately, and then the Wilderness Talisman will also dissipate instantly, and now this balance is the limit of what I can do......"

Xu Cheng listened to what Chi Huangzi said, and knew that what Chi Huangzi said should be the true situation, and Lu Qingxuan, who he mentioned the most, Xu Cheng also knew that this person was a genius in the cultivation realm ten thousand years ago, and even his master and ancestor were not as sharp as they were in that era, but this was all off-topic and had nothing to do with the present.

After Chi Huangzi finished speaking, he thought that Xu Cheng would retreat from the difficulty, or fight for it, so Chi Huangzi had no choice, after all, the spiritual power that had been evenly distributed in the past two thousand years had been exhausted in the battle with Xu Cheng just now, and he was powerless to fight again.

However, what Xu Cheng said next was that Chi Huangzi did not expect it at all, and let him willingly help Xu Cheng recover Yan Zhiyun's remnant soul after contemplation.

"Senior Red Wilderness, I can help you break through the ...... of Wendao"
