The starlight was cold, sprinkled on Li Xuhan's face, but it made his body even darker, as if while his soul was torn apart, the endless darkness was gradually annihilating him. The full-text and ad-free novels are all biquge.info on Aishang Novel Network
What kind of pain was endured under that calm and calm expression? Soul tearing, that is a word that can only be used when an immortal cultivator makes the most vicious oaths and curses. When he dies, even his soul will disappear, and he will not even have the next life.
Could it be that this master who has accompanied and guarded him for hundreds of years, this old man who has painstakingly maintained Jiuhua Mountain, and one of the legends of Jiuhua, is really going to gradually weaken and even die in the soul tearing?
And as this feeling became more and more intense, Zhang Hualing's heart suddenly surged with an extremely strong sense of fear.
"Is it less than a hundred years?"
After knowing that Li Xuhan had performed the "Soul Destroying Technique" on himself, Zhang Hualing was more frightened and dazed, and even a little overwhelmed, in addition to the sadness and sadness that his master should have when he was about to pass away.
Zhang Hualing grew up with Li Xuhan since he was a child, it was Li Xuhan who raised him, it was Li Xuhan who taught him how to cultivate immortals, how to be a man, four hundred years ago, in the face of the competition between Zhou Huahai and Xiao Huazhe, it was Li Xuhan who helped him to the throne of the head of Jiuhua. It can be said that Zhang Hualing has been accustomed to Li Xuhan standing behind him silently for hundreds of years.
In the years when he was in charge, Zhang Hualing has always been the most praised because no matter what changes have happened in Jiuhua Mountain, he seems to be very calm and calm, and he seems to be confident at all times.
But that's because Zhang Hualing knows that there is a master behind him who is unfathomable in terms of wisdom and strength silently supporting him, so he will not be desperate and nervous in the face of any changes, even if he is pointed out by Wanfu in Huandao, the arrangement is also free and natural.
But because of this, Zhang Hualing was not sure if Li Xuhan was gone one day, then he would have the ability to continue to move forward with Jiuhua Mountain.
Zhang Hualing didn't even dare to imagine that kind of scene.
It's ridiculous to say. Zhang Hualing, as the head of a faction, the head of the Jiuhua Sect among the six holy lands, and the first-class immortal cultivator in the immortal cultivation world, is already more than 800 years old, and has even been the head of the sect for nearly 400 years, but he is still so attached to his master. But it's a fact.
Or, no matter how noble Zhang Hualing's identity has become and how strong his strength is, when facing Li Xuhan, he is still just the naΓ―ve boy who once served by Li Xuhan's side and looked at his master Li Xuhan with adoring eyes.
Looking at the dazed look on Zhang Hualing's face, as a master who had taught him for hundreds of years, Li Xuhan immediately understood what he was thinking.
Let's be honest. Jiuhua Mountain has come to this point, and it can be said that a large part of it is under the control of Zhang Xusheng. He himself was extremely worried about the future of Jiuhua Mountain after his death. Fortunately, he made that heart his hands and feet, Jiuhua Mountain will not have any major twists and turns in hundreds of years, with these hundreds of years, Jiuhua Mountain can produce dozens of masters of the Yudan, and if you are lucky, you can even have several grandmasters of the Mahayana period. But there is no silent care of himself. He was still uneasy.
Now Li Xuhan is most worried about the immortal cultivation realm has been circulating for tens of thousands of years of catastrophe, every two thousand eight hundred years there will be a huge catastrophe in the immortal cultivation realm, and almost no sect or any monk can be spared. And now there are only sixty years before the next catastrophe in the legend, Li Xuhan is afraid that if the catastrophe really occurs after sixty years, then how should Jiuhua face it.
Sixty years later, Li Xuhan, who has been suffering from soul pain, even if he is still alive, I am afraid that he will not be able to help Jiuhua in any way.
It's just that although he was worried in his heart, Li Xuhan didn't show the slightest expression on his face. Because he knew that that would only make Zhang Hualing even less confident. So he just quietly stared at Zhang Hualing, who had a low expression, and asked slowly, "Ling'er, what are you worried about?"
Hearing Li Xuhan's question, Zhang Hualing was slightly stunned, and after seeing Li Xuhan staring at him, Zhang Hualing lowered his head slightly, and replied softly: "The disciple feels that Jiuhua's strength has been greatly damaged now, and in the face of all the changes in the immortal cultivation world in the future, I am afraid it will be very difficult to deal with it." β
Li Xuhan smiled slightly. He said lightly: "Is this what you're worried about? I think you're worried that after I die, you won't be able to lead this powerful Jiuhua Mountain to continue, right?"
Zhang Hualing lowered his head deeper, but did not refute, obviously acquiescing in Li Xuhan's judgment.
Li Xuhan sighed slightly, and asked again, "Why are you so unconfident in yourself?"
Zhang Hualing was slightly stunned. After thinking for a while, he said: "Jiuhua's strength is now greatly damaged. However, the shape of the immortal cultivation world is becoming more and more treacherous, and you ...... master. He can only lead and guide his disciples for less than a hundred years. The disciple was afraid that with the disciple's own strength, he would not be able to protect Jiuhua Mountain. β
Li Xuhan smiled slightly and said, "How can you not be confident in your own ability? In the past four hundred years, you have done a good job as the head of the house." β
"That's because there is a master here, and the disciple has confidence in everything he does, even if he does something wrong, there is also a master you who will correct and remedy me. Zhang Hualing said.
Li Xuhan smiled again and asked, "So have you done anything wrong in the past four hundred years?
Hearing Li Xuhan's words, Zhang Xusheng was stunned again.
Li Xuhan continued: "Since Jiuhua Mountain changed eight hundred years ago and its strength plummeted, how did others evaluate my Jiuhua Mountain?
Li Xuhan paused, and then said: "Eight hundred years ago, what they said was that after this abnormal change, Jiuhua Mountain would probably be removed from the Holy Land from now on, and even from the Immortal Cultivation Realm. But in the past 400 years since you took over as the leader, what have others said about my Jiuhua Mountain? They say that my Jiuhua Mountain has gradually been revived in the past 400 years, and sooner or later it will be restored to its glory 800 years ago. What does that mean?"
Zhang Hualing just wanted to say something, but Li Xuhan preemptively continued: "What does this mean? This shows that you are much more capable than me just as the head of the house." It is precisely because of your correct leadership that Jiuhua Mountain has begun to revive the land. Now although my Jiuhua Mountain's strength has been greatly damaged, no matter how miserable it is, it can't compare to eight hundred years ago, for you, it's just a matter of starting over, so what's there to worry about?"
With Li Xu's words, Zhang Hualing's eyes gradually became more and more bright. He bowed down and said to Li Xuhan: "Thank you for your teaching, the disciple has been taught." β
Seeing that Zhang Hualing had finally regained his self-confidence, a hint of relief flashed in Li Xuhan's eyes. In fact, Li Xuhan has always known that because of his long-term existence, Zhang Hualing has always lived in his shadow, although he is fearless. But the ability is also unconsciously discounted, I believe that after this conversation, Zhang Hualing will be able to ask for the shadow sooner or later, let go of his hands and feet to show his true ability.
Thinking of this, Li Xuhan said in a wide voice: "Jiuhua Mountain is so lonely, it can be said that the biggest reason is me, I was too indulgent to Zhang Xusheng back then, and I was soft-hearted when I was chasing him eight hundred years ago. Therefore, in the future, you should not have psychological pressure when doing things, just let go of your hands and feet to do it. I will bear the consequences. As long as you do your best and be worthy of your heart, even if Jiuhua really decays in the end, you can also be worthy of the ancestors of Jiuhua after you die. β
Hearing Li Xuhan's words, Zhang Hualing's body shook suddenly, and he suddenly understood what Li Xuhan was thinking.
The reason why Li Xuhan didn't care about the pain of tearing the soul and the consequences of soul corrosion was to perform the "Soul Destroying Technique". I'm afraid it's also because he's afraid that he will face Jiuhua's ancestors after he dies.
Although he understood Li Xuhan's thoughts, Zhang Hualing didn't say it explicitly, let alone say anything, but said worriedly: "As you said, Master, Zhang Xusheng may not be able to threaten my Jiuhua Mountain again in hundreds of years, and other sects will not take action against my Jiuhua Mountain because they have their hearts." But what the disciple is worried about is that the next catastrophe in the Immortal Realm is less than a month away, and with the disciple's ability and Jiuhua's current strength, I am afraid it will be difficult to protect it thoroughly. β
Li Xuhan nodded slightly, he had already thought about this question. After thinking about it just now, I already paid attention to it in my heart at this time, and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then after the Nine Extremes Array is repaired, I Jiuhua will close the mountain." β
Hearing Li Xuhan's words, Zhang Hualing's body was shocked at first, and after frowning and thinking for a long time, he finally nodded and said, "Just do what you want, Master." β
It turned out that in the world of cultivating immortals, the closure of a sect was equivalent to announcing that its own sect had temporarily withdrawn from the realm of cultivating immortals. Severed all ties with the Immortal Cultivation Realm, no longer participated in any activities in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and even no longer regarded himself as an Immortal Cultivator, which dealt a great blow to the prestige of this Immortal Cultivation Sect. Any sect will never consider closing the mountain unless it is absolutely necessary.
And for Jiuhua Mountain. Closing the mountain has another meaning. That is to reverse the "Nine Pole Array" of the mountain protection array, so that the power of the "Nine Pole Array" can be increased by three times. It can be said that there are almost no sects and forces in the Immortal Cultivation Realm to break through it, but in this way, the disadvantages are also obvious, although outsiders cannot enter, but the people of Jiuhua Sect cannot go out before the "Nine Pole Array" is operating normally.
Closing the mountain was originally a last resort, but in order to preserve Jiuhua Mountain, it was impossible to say that it could only be done, after all, YiqiΔ focused on Jiuhua inheritance.
Although there were all the catastrophes in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, there was no sect that could escape at all, but after the mountain was closed, it could also prevent Jiuhua Mountain from being involved in the catastrophe at the beginning. Throughout the history of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it is not difficult to find that the sects that were most severely damaged in the catastrophe were often the first to be involved in the catastrophe.
Thinking of this, although he knew that the closure of the mountain would have a huge impact on the reputation of Jiuhua Mountain, he still agreed without hesitation.
After hearing Zhang Hualing's agreement, Li Xuhan nodded slightly and said, "Let's go back." β
As he spoke, Li Xuhan flew towards the "Nine Poles Array" first, and Zhang Hualing hurriedly followed. "After the mountain is closed, I will return to the Baicao Garden on the top of Jiuhua Mountain, you can make your own decisions about all the things in Jiuhua Mountain, I believe you can do it well. Li Xuhan said to Zhang Hualing while flying towards Jiuhua Mountain.
"Yes. Zhang Hualing responded.
After hesitating slightly, Li Xuhan said again: "Among the disciples of the Qing generation, the disciple named Xu Qingfan, you don't have to arrange anything for him in these years, let him come to the top of Jiuhua Mountain to accompany me more." β
Zhang Hualing was slightly stunned, not understanding when Li Xuhan would actually know Xu Qingfan and value it so much, but he still responded: "Yes." After the disciple returns, he will arrange it. β
As Zhang Hualing's words fell, the figures of the two gradually disappeared into the endless black fog in the "Nine Extremes Array".
On an ordinary hill three thousand miles north of Jiuhua Mountain, two rays of light, one purple and one white, suddenly fell, and after the brilliance dissipated, it was Zhang Xusheng and the purple-clothed man who rescued Zhang Xusheng before.
I saw that all the figures of this purple-clothed man were covered tightly by the purple robe, and he didn't see his face. There are several gold stripes on the edges of the purple robe. There are several golden bells hanging on it, which constantly ripple and jingle as the body moves. On the purple robe, there is an arrogant word "Hades", which is eye-catching. On his finger, he wears a clumsy and mysterious ring, on which is engraved the word "Xuan".
After landing on the ground, the man in purple glanced at Zhang Xusheng and smiled slightly. said: "Huang, it's just dealing with Jiuhua Mountain, why are you so wolf?"
The voice has a peculiar melody, full of vicissitudes, although it is said like this, but it does not give people the slightest sense of irony.
saw Zhang Xusheng snort coldly, and the light on his body flashed. After Guanghua passed away, he saw that Zhang Xusheng's clothes had changed greatly, and his robe became exactly the same as the purple-clothed man beside him, but the ring on his hand was engraved with the word "yellow".
"Hmph, I could have completely dealt with this matter by myself, where do I need your help? And you also came to Jiuhua Mountain wearing the clothes of the organization, aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of other monks in the immortal cultivation world? Zhang Xusheng didn't appreciate it at all, and snorted coldly.
Xuan said lightly: "If I wear tissue clothes, the tissue will be exposed." Then what about you acting without the consent of the organization? Do you know how much trouble you made this time? Almost the entire Mahayana monks in the vast land of Shenzhou were alarmed by you, and if I hadn't dragged you away earlier, then at least seven Mahayana monks would have rushed to Jiuhua Mountain, and then you would have no way to escape even if you wanted to. When the time comes, if you are caught by them, won't the threat of the organization be exposed?"
Zhang Xusheng frowned, and said in a cold voice: "You have to figure it out, I joined the organization just because I will get some benefits after joining the organization, but it does not mean that I have sold myself to the organization, and when the organization does not act in unison, what I do is my freedom." No one can take care of it. As for those Mahayana masters who rushed in, do you think I didn't think of it? I naturally have a way to escape, but where do I need your help? β
Xuan wasn't angry, but still smiled and said, "We have sixteen people in our organization, except for heaven and earth. And who doesn't join the organization because of interest? But that's exactly what it is. Exposing the organization is not good for us. This time you have already obtained the heart of the earth, so don't go to Jiuhua Mountain for trouble before the next catastrophe. The province has made another twist and turn. β
Zhang Xusheng snorted coldly again, tore off the purple robe on his body, and reached into the wound on his left chest, but pulled out the "Heavenly Patrol Sword" of the deaf and dumb Venerable from the wound, and threw it to Xuan beside him, saying: "I knew that you would definitely come to join in the fun, but I don't want to owe you favors, haven't you been looking for a good sword? This Heavenly Patrol Sword is not bad, even if it is my reward for you." β
Admiring the "Sky Scanner Sword" in his hand, Xuan exclaimed: "Good sword, I always thought it had been lost." Saying that, Xuan said to Zhang Xusheng again: "It's not a loss, it's Huang, or is it so exhaustive, I guess I expected that I would appear before the attack on Jiuhua, right?"
Zhang Xusheng ignored Xuan's praise, just waved his right hand, and the heart with strange fluctuations suddenly appeared on his right hand, looking at the immobile heart, Zhang Xusheng's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, and after carefully examining it, he sent the heart to the left chest wound.
I saw that as the heart and the wound approached, the blood mist in the wound surged more and more intensely, and when the heart was sent into the wound, a strong and strange fluctuation came from Zhang Xusheng's wound, and as the blood mist annihilated the heart, a strong blood light suddenly flashed on the wound.
The light is strange but dazzling, and it seems to absorb the soul of a person. After a long time, it slowly dimmed. After the light dissipated, when he looked at Zhang Xusheng's left chest, his skin was as smooth as a baby, and the shocking wound before was completely gone.
Xuan kept stroking the "Sky Patrol Sword". His eyes kept flashing with happiness, and when he saw that Zhang Xusheng's mutation was over, he put away the "Sky Patrol Sword", raised his head and said, "Congratulations, your heart is in the body, I think the things you have studied over the years will soon be completed." When the time comes. I'm afraid even I am far from being your match. β
Zhang Xusheng smiled proudly, and just wanted to say something, but the expression on his face changed suddenly, but it was the spiritual energy fluctuations on his body that suddenly began to become chaotic, and then there were constantly ghost crying screams from his body, and they became more and more clear and terrifying, and with this ghost crying scream, Zhang Xushengdi's face was constantly changing. Then a large mouthful of black blood spurted out of his mouth, and Xuan saw Zhang Xusheng's abnormal change, and his expression changed suddenly, and he hurriedly asked, "Huang, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Xusheng's face was pale, but the murderous aura continued to accumulate and fluctuate in his eyes, and after a long time, he said fiercely: "Holy Spirit Stone! In this heart, he actually put in a Holy Spirit Stone that specializes in overcoming the evil qi of heaven and earth and the unjust soul! In order to destroy the balance of the unjust soul and the essence and blood in my body. The means are also clever, and they were able to hide from my eyes just now, but do you think that if you do this, you can really restrain me? Senior Brother Li. You underestimate me too much, before the next catastrophe, I will be able to completely defile this spirit stone, and then I will return the pain I have suffered to your Jiuhua Mountain. β
As he spoke, Zhang Xusheng ignored Di Xuan beside him at all, his body suddenly turned into a bloody wind, and he flew quickly into the distance, and disappeared from Xuan's field of vision in a blink of an eye.
Looking at Zhang Xusheng's disappearing figure, Xuan's eyes were complicated, after a long time. After Xuan sighed slightly, the purple light on his body suddenly flashed, and after the brilliance dissipated, his figure disappeared in an instant.
Just when Li Xuhan and Zhang Xusheng were both planning their own countermeasures for the future, in a corner of Jiuhua Mountain, nearly a thousand corpses were piled up together, each corpse looked weird, like a demon, but it was the low-level demons under Zhang Xusheng who died in Jiuhua.
At some point, a mist gradually spread around the pile of corpses. After the body was stained with these mist, the three Jiuhua disciples who were guarding the demon's corpse then fell into a deep coma without the slightest resistance.
Next to the fainting Jiuhua disciple, these mist gradually gathered together, and then condensed into a human form. It looks like a snake demon. But it was the thirty-third of the snake guards under Zhang Xusheng.
I saw No. 33 staring at a certain location in the pile of corpses, bowing down and saying, "Lord Xuanluo." Serpent Guard Thirty-Three came to pick it up. β
As the voice of the thirty-third fell, a certain corpse that was originally motionless suddenly opened its eyes, but it was Bao Qingfang, who had already committed suicide!!
Jiuhua back mountain, Xu Qingfan's cave house.
After Xu Qingfan's enlightenment without a trace when chatting, Jin Qinghan, Li Yuhan, and Sheng Yushan were also in a much better mood. Soon after, Ting'er also woke up from the coma, but after waking up, she didn't ask anything, just kept looking at Xu Qingfan's right leg and the scar on her face with her eyes, and she didn't know if it was Xu Qingfan's illusion, as if a look of concern flashed quickly in Ting'er's eyes.
Xu Qingfan gently patted Ting'er's head and said in a wide voice: "It's okay, my leg will be fine after a while." β
Although he said this, Xu Qingfan was still a little gloomy in his heart, because although his leg could be healed, the scar on his face could never be removed because it had been strongly corroded by severe poison. Although Xu Qingfan has never cared about his appearance, he still feels full of discomfort when he feels the scar on his face.
Looking at Xu Qingfan's cordial attitude towards Ting'er, a complicated look flashed in Jin Qinghan's eyes, and he was still not at ease with Ting'er, but it was inconvenient to say anything.
But Li Yuhan didn't understand the grievances between Xu Qingfan and Ting'er, just looked at the starlight and moonlight outside the house, the quiet night breeze, recalled the fierce battle not long ago, and sighed: "It's finally over." β
Xu Qingfan said with a smile: "Yes, it's finally over, we immortal cultivators shouldn't be involved in so much right and wrong, meditation on immortal cultivation is the right way." β
Hearing Xu Qingfan say this, the other three also nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, a ray of light flashed from the sky, and then quickly landed in front of Xu Qingfan's Cave Mansion, but it was a white-haired and shawl-haired Jiuhua Elder.
I saw that the elder glanced at the four of them, his eyes stopped for a moment on Xu Qingfan and Ting'er, who was full of strange patterns on his face, and then said in a solemn voice: "Li Yuhan, Sheng Yushan, you two will go to the Hualing Hall immediately, and the head of the family will look for you if he has something." Jin Qinghan, you also look for your master immediately, he also has something to find you. β
Speaking of this, a strange look flashed in the elder's eyes, and he said to Xu Qingfan: "Xu Qingfan, you will go to the Baicao Garden on the top of Jiuhua Mountain immediately, Li... Senior Brother Liu of Baicao Garden has something to look for you. β
Hearing this elder's words, Xu Qingfan and the others all glanced at each other strangely, among which Li Yuhan and Sheng Yushan both had a trace of uneasiness in their eyes, but they still bowed down one after another.
A period of chaos is over, but isn't the so-called end the beginning of another story?
End of volume.
