Chapter 356 The remnants of the past glory
To Shi Xuan's surprise, this small world is very small, quite small. There is only a small island-like land with a radius of several hundred miles, floating in the void. It is surrounded by chaos. Compared with Shi Xuan, The world of Lei Mansion that Xuan has seen has a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, with continents and oceans. It is too small to know how many there are.
Moreover, this land is lifeless, with no life at all. Even the black soil is lifeless, as if it has been transformed by endless death.
At this time, Shi Xuan remembered what Ao Tingtao had said. Back then, Xuqing Tianzun had obtained a powerful ghost method, which contained the secret method of overcoming the decline of heaven and man, so he took the risk of retreating.
He also vaguely mentioned souls and blood sacrifices, plus Shi Xuan's understanding of ghost and demonic techniques, and knew that a large part of the advancement and tribulation secrets provided by these techniques did involve sacrifices, blood sacrifices, etc.
Therefore, judging from the situation of the Little Thousand World, Shi Xuan judged that it should be that Xu Qing Tianzun failed to complete the blood sacrifice for his soul to transcend the tribulation, and could not wait for the second disciple, so he activated the final trump card and blood sacrificed the entire Little Thousand World! Unfortunately, it still fell short.
Since the Small Thousand World was only so big, Shi Xuan didn't want to enter it, and directly used his Yuan consciousness to search the land with a radius of several hundred miles, inch by inch.
Under Shi Xuan's powerful consciousness, this small land was quickly searched, but nothing was found.
Carefully recalling the search process just now, Shi Xuan Yuanshen's thoughts were running very fast, and he immediately discovered an inconspicuous anomaly: "Although nothing was found there just now, not even soil or holes were found, then... There's a problem."
As soon as he thought about it, his consciousness turned into a big hand, grabbed a handful of black soil and sent it outside the bronze door. In the process, the black soil kept falling.
When the consciousness passed through that layer of dim light, it suddenly vibrated violently, and the small world inside began to collapse.
At this time, Shi Xuan had already seen what the thing that could not be sensed or felt in the package of Yuan consciousness was, a small bone! Similar to finger bones, as crystal clear as white jade and as fine as gold and iron.
Stretching out his hand, Shi Xuan held the phalanx with great caution and looked up and down. To the naked eye, it seemed that there was a vast, groundbreaking feeling and endless resentment in the phalanx.
As the finger bones came out of the small thousand, the whole world and the door were shattered and returned to chaos. Shi Xuan had witnessed the scene of the end of the world.
"According to the Taoist scriptures, as long as the great immortals survive the first catastrophe of the decline of heaven and human beings, the physical body will be integrated into the soul. After the death, there will be no bone objects. Xuqing Tianzun does not practice physical skills. , to achieve immortality!" Shi Xuan looked at the phalanx in confusion.
Shi Xuan continued to speculate: "Is it because of the blood sacrifice that the aura of heaven and human thoughts combined with malicious thoughts formed such a phalanx?"
Thinking of this, Shi Xuan couldn't help but sigh. In the past, Xu Qing Tianzun was a powerful immortal who had survived two tribulations. He unified the world and oppressed the surrounding heavens. He was really glorious, but in the end, he still died. It disappeared, leaving only such a small finger bone.
The road to the great road is long and full of obstacles and hardships.
After sighing, Shi Xuan began to think about how to deal with this phalanx. He did not dare to put it into the yin and yang two-gas bottle in Yuanshen now. After all, if such a powerful person arranged any tricks for resurrection, body seizing, and reincarnation, he would If you take the initiative to put it into your soul, you won't be able to resist at all, so Shi Xuan's first thought is to put the finger bones into the storage bag.
But as soon as the severed finger bone entered the storage bag, it caused violent vibrations in the space of the storage bag. Before Shi Xuan could react, his storage bag was shattered into pieces, leaving only Bai Shengsheng's finger bones floating in the void.
Shi Xuan smiled bitterly. Fortunately, he kept most of his things in yin and yang bottles, so he didn't feel sad if the things in the storage bag were gone.
After thinking again and again, Shi Xuan held the phalanges, and then began to activate the time and space gate blessed by Xu Zhenjun on his body.
This time-space gate has been on Shi Xuan from the beginning, but it was not discovered until Shi Xuan achieved Yuan Shen.
In the shining purple light, Shi Xuan turned into a ray of light, broke through the imperial formation, broke through the barrier of the world, and returned to Yu Yutian.
…………
In the boundless void, Shi Xuan was not as dizzy and unable to feel anything as he was last time when he returned from the Seven Immortals World. Now Shi Xuan clearly knew that he was passing through a dark hole in the void, and what seemed to be rushing back on the four walls of the hole was time and space.
"When my two-dimensional void crossing technique becomes an immortal technique, it should be the same, but the distance between the two worlds cannot be too far, and there must be time and space landmarks, otherwise you will get lost in the holes of time and space." Shi Xuan He secretly thought in his heart, of course, as the level of immortal magic increases, the worlds that can be visited become further away.
Immortal magic (immortal magic) is not like magic and Taoism. As long as you spend time practicing it, you will eventually increase the level. It corresponds to the four or nine tribulations and the five declines of heaven and man.
After achieving the Yuan Shen, in most cases, one can only advance the Taoist skills or directly practice the first-level immortal skills. Only a few secret skills, such as Shi Xuan's Four Symbols Immortal-Destroying Sword, can cross one level and convert the immortal skills to the next level. Cultivation to the second level is only a step beyond the first level. If you want to directly practice the third level immortal method, it will not work.
After that, every time a heavenly tribulation is passed, the level of immortal magic that can be cultivated will increase by one level. When the fourth and ninth level tribulations are completed and one becomes a heavenly being, the immortal magic can be cultivated to the fifth level. After surviving the five declines of heavenly beings, one will It can combine certain immortal techniques according to the rules and condense them into a great way.
Coming out of the space-time hole, Shi Xuan felt the Gang Qi layer of Yu Yu's world, as well as the many stars and countless void demons outside Yu Yu's sky.
That ray of purple light roared into the Gang Qi layer, and its speed was almost as fast as moving through space.
But just when the purple light had just entered the Gang Qi layer and was heading towards the Penglai Sect's mountain gate, a big hand of purple light suddenly appeared, with an inconspicuous and small thunder light on it.
With just a gentle squeeze, Shi Xuan couldn't help but throw purple light at it, but the familiar aura made Shi Xuan not have any thoughts of resistance. Besides, even if he moved, it wouldn't have any effect.
Shi Xuan flew to the big hand wrapped in purple light, and then the purple light hand changed, and Granny Yu's beautiful oval face appeared in front of Shi Xuan's eyes.
With a bit of surprise on her face, she circled around Shi Xuan in the Gang Qi layer, as if she was looking at something strange.
Shi Xuan had never seen an expression of surprise on Grandma Yu's face before. After living for so long, she had experienced a lot and had advanced cultivation, and indeed she rarely encountered things that could surprise her, so she smiled bitterly and said: " My mother-in-law brought my disciple here, what are her instructions?"
Grandma Yu then clicked her tongue and said in surprise: "You are such a kid, I thought I felt wrong. I have only been out for a short time, and I have become a soul, and I haven't even finished a nap!"
If you haven't taken a nap in more than two years, that's your own problem, mother-in-law. Of course, these words were just what Shi Xuan said in his heart, and he said: "The disciple has advanced to Yin Shen when he was in the Great World of Seven Immortals, and has been practicing for eighty-three years, and by chance, he showed the disciple through the Tai Chi Diagram I arrived at the first creation scene in the Xiaoqian World, so compared to others, I saved nearly a hundred years of effort in sensing the true spirit."
"Okay, don't be humble. When I was under the disciple of Teacher Yu Yu, I saw many natural spirits who were born from the beginning of the world and were not contaminated by all the falsehoods in life. There are disciples in the human race who practice "Baolu" like you. Yes, but there are not many who can advance to the level of soul faster than you." Grandma Yu interrupted Shi Xuan unceremoniously.
Unexpectedly, Shi Xuan felt a touch of pride when he could be compared with those big figures from ancient times and ancient times. Of course, seeing the surprised look of a person like Granny Yu made Shi Xuan feel better, so he told his experience in that world He briefly talked about it and finally said: "That sword can be regarded as the disciple's true Heart-Questing Sword."
"Okay, you're good at killing others and me." Granny Yu applauded, stroking her palms, "I thought that your cautious and careful character would have to go through at least one or two hundred years of hardship before it explodes, but I didn't expect that you would also To have such a decisive and firm side, yes, yes, Teacher Yu Yu’s Taoist inheritance is promising.”
"By the way, Granny, is there something wrong with this phalanx?" Shi Xuan spread his hands, revealing the phalanges obtained from Xuqing Tianzun's Xiaoqian World, and asked Granny Yu.
Granny Yu looked at the phalanx, with a strange expression on her face. She seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and she seemed to be suppressing a smile. After a while, she said: "Hey, which immortal and powerful person is this?"
"This is what I found in Xuqing Tianzun's Xiaoqian World. Mother-in-law, what does it mean to be tricked?" Shi Xuan only gave a rough outline before and did not touch on unimportant background information.
Granny Yu looked like she wanted to laugh, but she had to take care of her image in front of Shi: "Haha, let me guess, he didn't have the confidence when he was preparing to survive the catastrophe of the decline of heaven and man, and then accidentally obtained a ghost way. Or is it a magic technique that contains the secret method of overcoming tribulation, so prepare for a blood sacrifice? "
"Mother-in-law, have you seen something similar?" Shi Xuan immediately thought of this.
Granny Yu suppressed her smile and nodded: "I have seen many of them. Those techniques were created by a half-step golden immortal named Taoist Songli and then spread out, leaving a small and inconspicuous one inside. Even a powerful person who has survived four tribulations will not be able to notice it if he is not careful. "
"Once someone uses it to make blood sacrifices to advance and overcome tribulations, and at the last moment of success, they will sacrifice their own blood to bless Taoist Songli. Well, through this method, he has deceived many monks, including the powerful immortals. , thereby condensing the path of death.”
The world is dangerous, and for some reason these four words came to Shi Xuan's mind. The secret method that he finally encountered unexpectedly turned out to be someone else's trap. It was really deceiving.
"So, what falls from the sky is not necessarily rain, it may also be hail." Grandma Yu pointed out to Shi Xuan.
