Chapter 1080: The Fifth Man
Li Muran sacrificed the greedy sword, shook it slightly, and a purple light flew out of the greedy sword and directly sank into the body of the sword.
In a moment, the divine thoughts of a single sword were devoured, and there was only a very small remnant.
At this time, even if he could wake up with a knife, he would have become a living dead in a muddle, without any sanity at all.
After the purple mang flew out of the body of a sword, his body increased significantly a lot, turned into a purple python, and returned to the greedy sword.
Immediately, a white light shot out from the center of Li Muran's eyebrows, and a divine thought was separated, which was submerged into the body of a knife.
The knife gradually woke up, but at this time, he was completely manipulated by Li Muran.
This kind of divine possession technique is relatively much easier than the mastery control technique that Li Muran used before. However, this possession technique is more likely to be flawed.
Because the divine thought of a knife itself is not weak, and Li Muran's cultivation is comparable to his, although the divine thought is better, it is difficult to completely control a knife. Li Muran found that Yidao was already alert, so he had to simply destroy most of his divine thoughts, and directly use the divine possession technique to control his body.
Li Muran's sleeve robe waved, and a glow of light rolled up, and the few spiritual cultivators who were bound by the bundle of immortals were all included in the Langhuan Cave Heaven.
Li Muran flew to a remote place with a "knife", and then also entered the Langhuan Cave.
Li Muran stretched out his fingers and flicked it lightly, and a few flashes of spiritual light sank into the bodies of those spiritual cultivators, waking them up one by one, and the middle-aged spiritual cultivators who had been saved by him before also came here.
"Old Patriarch, are you alright?" the middle-aged spiritual cultivator asked with concern when he saw the white-haired old man waking up slowly.
"It's all right, where is this? Could it be that the virtuous nephew saved me and others?" asked the white-haired old man suspiciously.
The middle-aged spiritual cultivator shook his head, he looked at Li Muran, and said, "No, it was this benevolent father who saved us and others." He is also a spiritual cultivator, and a spiritual practitioner who came from the spirit realm to the demon realm!"
"From the spirit world!" The white-haired old man was surprised and delighted when he heard this: "Dare to ask Engong, is there a way for us to return to the spirit world?"
Li Muran said: "This matter is a long story, it is impossible to return to the spirit world in a short period of time, but it is not completely without a chance! To be honest, the reason why these demon realms came to you and others is to find out clues, and the reason why they came here and rescued you and others by mistake is also quite interested in this! If the patriarch is willing to answer some of the questions below, he should try his best to help you and others return to the spirit realm! However, the strength of the lower forces is weak, and these demon cultivators are very powerful, I am afraid that they will not be able to save a few people!"
The white-haired old man nodded and sighed: "How many people can be saved depends on the will of heaven!
Li Muran immediately asked straight to the point, "Who left the Three Holy Kings behind?" I'm afraid that in addition to those three high-level insect cultivators, there are other high-level spiritual cultivators, right?"
The white-haired old man was stunned for a moment, and then nodded slightly: "Yes, there are indeed several other masters!"
Li Muran's heart froze, and he continued to ask: "How many people are there among those masters, when did they come to this sealing space, when did they leave, and why did they leave? Why did they leave the Three Holy Kings? According to this Ten Thousand Dao Friends, the incident of the Three Holy Kings happened five or six thousand years ago, and the patriarch, as an old man in the spiritual body, may have lived for five or six thousand years, does the patriarch remember some details of what happened at that time?"
The white-haired old man said: "Yes, although the old man was only an insignificant young child in the family, he still remembers some of the past events. β
"Those masters, except for the Three Holy Kings, there are a total of five people. In fact, these masters had already come here more than 10,000 years ago, not long after this sealed space fell into the Demon Realm. β
At that time, the ancestors of the family were also cultivators in the Mahayana period, but they were extremely respectful to these four people and faintly adhered to the rites of the younger generations. Those five masters have been living in seclusion here, and their actions are very secretive, and even in their own family, only a few patriarchs know about it. β
"Thousands of years later, the ancestors of this family are old and sitting, and the five masters are still cultivating here, which is more secretive. There is a forbidden place here, which was set up by those five masters, and we also strictly prohibit the children of our family from approaching. β
Li Muran's heart moved when he heard this: "It turns out that Master Xuanguang and the others have been cultivating here for thousands of years! They came here to avoid the eyes and ears of the immortal envoy and the pursuit, but why did they leave?"
The white-haired old man continued: "Until five or six thousand years ago, suddenly on a certain night, some strange celestial phenomena appeared in the sky above that forbidden land. β
"Strange celestial phenomena?" Li Muran asked in surprise.
"Not bad!" said the white-haired old man, "Speaking of which, many children in my family saw the celestial phenomenon at that time, and Lao Yu was also one of the witnesses. Lao Yu still remembers that night, countless shining points of light appeared in the night sky for no reason, like bright stars, and these stars were actually connected by light one by one, forming two strange rune patterns. β
"This rune pattern lasted for a long time, and it didn't disappear until dawn. β
"On the second day, those masters suddenly summoned the patriarch of the family at that time, and told them to guard the Three Holy Kings, and then left here. Before leaving, they seemed to have done some cleaning up, erasing all traces of the forbidden land, and now the former 'forbidden land' is a desolate valley with only a few fragments of ruins. β
"It seems that the departure of Master Xuanguang and the others must have something to do with that strange rune!" Li Muran's heart moved, and he immediately asked, "Patriarch, do you still remember the appearance of that rune, can you draw it?"
The white-haired old man nodded: "The immortal cultivator will never forget it, not to mention that this matter is quite impressive, and the old man can draw it." β
With that, the white-haired old man stretched out his finger to volley into the void, and a stream of spiritual light left on his finger, and soon, a strange rune pattern appeared.
Li Muran looked at this rune, his surface was silent, but there was already an uproar in his heart!
The old patriarch had only drawn half of it, and Li Muran had already recognized it, this was one of the mirror light runes evolved from the mysterious treasure mirrorβmoreover, it was from the treasure mirror he owned!
The old patriarch drew another rune pattern, and the two rune shapes were opposite, mirror-symmetrical, like the difference between the left hand and the right hand.
"This is obviously the mirror light rune of another treasure mirror!" Li Muran's heart moved.
"Master Xuanguang and the others have also seen these two kinds of mirror light runes, so most of them have already guessed that there is another treasure mirror in existence!" Li Muran said secretly in his heart.
All kinds of clues converged, and Li Muran finally had a general understanding of what happened after Master Xuanguang returned to the spirit realm.
More than 10,000 years ago, Xuanguang and others returned to the spirit world with the treasure mirror, but found that the immortal envoy was missing. Xuanguang and the others were worried and afraid, and they tried their best to lay up doubts, pretending that they had fallen in the infighting, but in fact, they quietly came to the demon world to avoid trouble.
Soon after they came to the Demon Realm, they came to this Mixed Spirit Land, where they cultivated and were isolated from the outside world.
This cultivation lasted for thousands of years, until five or six thousand years ago, when Xuanguang and the others suddenly left here, and left behind the Three Holy Kings.
"During the thousands of years of cultivating here, Xuanguang and the others must have been studying the secrets hidden in this treasure mirror, or comprehending the magical powers contained in the runes of the treasure mirror. β
"However, why did they leave in a hurry then, why did they leave the Three Holy Kings?" Li Muran still had a lot of doubts in his heart.
"The traces left back then must have been erased by Xuanguang and the others before leaving, and the only clue is probably the Three Holy Kings!" Li Muran said secretly in his heart.
"Speaking of which, between the five poisonous Gus, even if there is a gap in strength, the cultivation will not be too far apart. The purple-veined scorpion and blood centipede that were stranded in the realm back then were actually insect cultivators at the level of the Yuan Shen stage, and I believe that the other three poisonous Gu were similar at that time. β
"And in the next thousands of years, the cultivation of these three poisonous Gu has risen greatly, and it has actually advanced to the insect cultivation of the Mahayana stage in five or six thousand years, and this cultivation speed is inevitably a bit against the sky for insect cultivation!"
"They deliberately left the insect body here, and they must have a last resort!"
"It seems that if you want to solve your doubts, you must see the bodies of the three high-level Gu worms left by the Three Holy Kings with your own eyes. β
Li Muran was about to ask about the Three Holy Kings, when suddenly his heart sank and he asked, "Wait, Patriarch Fangcai once said, those masters, there are five in total, not four?"
"Five people indeed!" the white-haired old man nodded with certainty.
"Five?" Li Muran was surprised in his heart, according to the code words of "life is death, death is life", Xuanguang and the other five people should be four lives and one death, only four people are left, how can there be a fifth person?
"Is it any wonder that Xuan Xuan is not dead?, all five of them have been here?" Li Muran said secretly in his heart.
However, if you want to deduce the identity of the fifth person, the current clues alone are not enough, Li Muran thought about it for a while, and then put his thoughts back on the Three Holy Kings.
"How can I meet the Three Holy Kings?" asked Li Muran.
The white-haired old man shook his head and said, "The Three Holy Kings have been worshiped by our generations, and it is not difficult to meet the Three Holy Kings in normal times. But at this time, the Three Holy Kings have already fallen into the hands of those demon cultivators, and it may not be easy for Engong to meet him!"
"The Three Holy Kings are already under the Heavenly Punishment Gate!" Li Muran frowned.
Li Muran glanced at the sluggish "One Knife" and muttered to himself: "It seems that the only way to use this person's identity is to try to blend into the Tianzhu Gate and take a look at the Three Holy Kings!"
