Chapter 482 How to choose among several paths
If it were normal, Shi Xuan would be able to return in time for the final finishing touches after he reacted.
But Xu Zhenjun has fallen, and he cannot, like Granny Yu, refine the gate of time and space in the world into something that looks like a magic weapon, but not a magic weapon, or something that looks like magic but not magic to bless others, so Shi Xuan can no longer borrow his power. , at such a long distance, triggering the Gate of the Thousand Worlds to return directly to Yu Yutian, can only go through the teleportation array to the Tongtian World.
"Go back? Or not go back?" Shi Xuan's thoughts were rolling in his mind, and it was difficult to make a choice. There were several paths before him.
One is to bury the hatred deeply, sit back and watch, and follow Cui Wenzi and others to explore the cave that will be opened thirty years later. After getting the secret treasure of the immortal, go back to take revenge. The second is to still retreat in the world of cave spirit to practice the immortal skills. , and then continue to travel, slowly accumulate, wait until the tribulation is successfully overcome, advance to the level of heavenly being, dialect revenge, the third is to take advantage of the fact that Blood Shadow True Lord has not regained his strength, risking a narrow escape, and return to save people.
If Shi Xuan is completely unsure and has no hope of rescuing the Penglai sect from True Lord Blood Shadow, no matter how sad and hateful he is, he will still make his Taoist heart calm and abnormal, and put his usefulness first, no matter how sad or resentful he is. Do something you know will lead to death, choose the first two paths.
But Shi Xuan knew very clearly that he had a method that could truly threaten True Lord Blood Shadow. If he hit him, he could be seriously injured, and there was even a small chance that he would die directly.
All this is based on the premise of hitting. Originally, with Shi Xuan's realm, he could not hide from the whims and deductions of True Lord Blood Shadow. I am afraid that he was still tens of thousands of miles away and was easily killed before the method was used. , the success may be almost impossible, but now that Meng Nishang has survived the catastrophe, if she helps cover up the secret and protect him, Shi Xuan has a high chance of getting close to the Blood Shadow True Monarch.
However, under the pressure of Blood Shadow True Monarch's avenue and the crazy attack after reacting, whether Shi Xuan can successfully use this method, and whether he can break through the numerous obstacles and hit True Monarch Blood Shadow after using it, Shi Xuan will not even have half a chance. Not sure.
Even with Meng Nichang at his side trying his best to contain True Lord Blood Shadow, the possibility of success on this path is still very low, only higher than the sword that Shi Xuan used when he achieved Yuan Shen. That's why Shi Xuan hesitated and couldn't. choice.
And once this method is used, even if it succeeds, the consequences will be huge. If you are not careful, you will die. Although Shi Xuan has prepared a backup plan, it will not be resolved by his own strength.
"Go back? Or not go back?" Shi Xuan continued to murmur to himself, asking himself, on one side is a very safe revenge strategy, on the other side is an extremely difficult and dangerous way to save people; on the other side, there are many secret treasures of immortals and secret methods for overcoming tribulations, which are great. Temptation, while hope is slim, not only will you not get the treasure, but it will also cost you the secret treasures and magic weapons you own, and it may even include your life, which is a great danger...
While his mind was shaking, Shi Xuan seemed to see in front of his eyes Xu Zhenjun, who fought desperately to protect the sect and became a member of the Penglai sect. He saw his master Mo Yuan, who had always been good at teaching and talked little, but cared for him extraordinarily. He rarely fulfills his responsibilities as a master, but he respects and loves his disciple Chu Wan'er. He sees Lin Luo, who gets along well with him and has a long and indifferent relationship with his disciples. He sees Zhang Zhengyan, who loves and cares for his younger disciples...
There were many phantoms, and they almost turned into clear human figures and appeared in Shi Xuan Yuanshen. The atmosphere of sadness and resentment filled the air, and it seemed that it was igniting...
After a while, Shi Xuan took a long breath, calmed down his inner demon, and got rid of the illusion: "Could it be that one of the three disasters and three calamities mentioned by Granny Yu should be here? And the name has changed. Doing 'original calamity'?" A relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he had made a final decision.
Shi Xuan stood up and walked out of the cave with his hands behind his back. He thought leisurely in his heart: "If I run away in fear of difficulties and ignore my true intention, even if I have integrated all the true spirits and prepared many secret treasures and means, I will face the third time." The Heavenly Tribulation is probably extremely dangerous. Since there is a glimmer of possibility, then try your best to pursue it. This is actually the original intention of Dao."
As soon as he opened the ban on the cave, Shi Xuan saw three sanctimonious middle-aged monks, none other than Cui Wenzi and the other three Yangshen masters.
Seeing this, Cui Wenzi smiled and said: "Fellow Taoist He Laoshi personally greeted me, it's really a courtesy." Although the cave can only be entered in thirty years, many things need to be discussed and prepared in advance, so they came together today.
Shi Xuan cupped his hands and said, "I'm really sorry. Shi has something important to do and has to leave the Dongling World. I don't know if he can come back in time. I'd like to ask a few fellow Taoists to hire someone else."
Cui Wenzi and others were very disappointed when they heard this, and gave some more advice. Seeing Shi Xuan's firm attitude, they knew that his determination had been made and could not be changed. Fortunately, there were still thirty years left, and there was plenty of time to invite another real person, or exchange it. Secret treasures, magic, etc.
After watching Cui Wenzi and others leave, Shi Xuan used his escape technique and headed towards the nearby Daqian Teleportation Formation.
Now that he had made up his mind, Shi Xuan began to think about countermeasures and various consequences along the way.
"It has been nearly 800 years since I became a Yuan Shen. Although there are not many people in the void universe who have survived two heavenly tribulations within 800 years, they are not few, such as some sword masters. So after I go back, I will not It triggered too many speculations and associations. "Meng Nishang survived two catastrophes in more than nine hundred years.
"I'm afraid there is a black hand from the God Emperor's world behind True Lord Blood Shadow. The divine light of the Yin-Yang Mixed Cave must not be used. Fortunately, the method is an external force, and we are not afraid of being spotted." Although Shi Xuan did not calculate it, but Grandma Yu had just reincarnated, and True Lord Blood Shadow killed the Penglai sect. How could it be that there was something fishy about her, so she couldn't be careless.
"The two Taiyin Ice Crystal Fruits on my body have healing powers, especially for Senior Meng. They should be even more miraculous." When Master Yuping came to return the Yin and Yang stones, Mr. Chixu and Mrs. Sufa also came and offered them He bought two Taiyin Ice Crystal Fruits to show his gratitude to Shi Xuan for saving his life.
In the blink of an eye, Shi Xuan arrived outside the Daqian Teleportation Formation.
…………
In the Penglai sect, the Qing Qi transformed by Gui Yuanzi fell to the ground, and five real people appeared.
Seeing the Nine Heavens Seal Ten Thousand Thunder Immortal Formation that had transformed into the purple thunder layer and the ancient thunderstorm sky, except for Mo Yuan who still had an indifferent expression, the other four people all laughed bitterly. They tried their best to use the fourth-level secret treasure, but unexpectedly they were forced to do so. Come back.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, I wonder how many times your sect's Jiutiandu Seal Ten Thousand Thunder Immortal Formation can be overdrawn?" Gui Yuanzi, who had a clear head and a clear head, asked Lin Luo.
Lin Luo smiled bitterly and shook his head: "The Nine Heavens Royal Thunder Immortal Seal will dissipate after it is fully activated three times. It has been used twice just now."
"Haha, it seems that if the opportunity comes next time, there will be no retreat." Gui Yuanzi showed no fear or frustration at all.
Zhang Zhengyan saluted and said: "Thank you, Senior Gui Yuanzi, for coming to our aid. We are really grateful. However, I feel extremely sorry for putting senior in danger." When he was the head of the clan, he had seen Gui Yuanzi several times. Yuanzi is always referred to by his predecessors, so he did not change his words after becoming a heretic Yuanshen.
Lin Luo, Mo Yuan, and Chu Wan'er also thanked Gui Yuanzi.
Gui Yuanzi waved his hands and said: "There is no need to be so polite. The old Taoist had already prepared to leave. It was only after he saw that Senior Meng had survived the fourth heavenly tribulation and had the power to resist True Lord Blood Shadow that he started to rescue him. , as long as True Monarch Blood Shadow is entangled by Senior Meng, the outcome between Lao Dao and Ancestor Blood River is between Sanqi, and with the help of your Penglai sect’s secret treasures and the formation, there is a high chance that True Monarch Blood Shadow will be seriously injured. It's so terrifying below!" As long as the third tribulation is not passed, the gap between the two tribulation Yangshen masters will only become smaller and smaller as the years go by.
He sighed lightly, but he didn't mean to blame the Penglai faction.
Thinking of True Lord Blood Shadow's strength, the five True Lords fell silent.
"There are still ten years, and there will always be changes. We can't give up on ourselves, we have to be prepared at any time." In silence, Mo Yuan said calmly.
Gui Yuanzi, Lin Luo and others nodded. They were able to advance to the level of Yuan Shen, and their character was naturally very good. Even if they were faced with a situation of no life or death, they would not give up. Instead, they would face the difficulties and try their best to win the battle. To find a way out.
…………
Outside the Penglai sect, amid the rolling sea of blood, True Lord Blood Shadow was sitting on a bloody lotus. Standing beside him were the ancestors of the Blood River and the "blood-eating mad demon" Deng Guang. Only the "Rahu Blood Flame" who had just become the soul was left. "Guard the sect.
The bloody light on True Monarch Blood Shadow's body shook for a while, and dozens of identical middle-aged Taoist priests separated into dozens of identical middle-aged Taoist priests, fleeing in all directions.
"Ancestor, who are you?" Ancestor Xuehe asked in a low voice.
True Monarch Blood Shadow smiled lightly and said: "Of course, I am going to plunder the essence of flesh and blood to make up for myself. Although other large sects must have been warned by Meng Nichang and have gone to other worlds to avoid disaster, there are still small and medium-sized sects and many casual cultivators. They The cultivation level is generally not high, but the quantity is sufficient, which should allow me to recover from my injuries three to five years in advance."
His attack on the Penglai Sect, his fight with Xu Zhenjun, and his fight with Meng Nichang, although fierce and terrifying, can only be felt by real people within hundreds of thousands of miles near the Three Islands Sea Area, and cannot be found in places such as Nanman and Xihuang. After all, they are not It was a person who shocked the world, but several major sects had people nearby who had been snooping for information all year round, and with Meng Nichang's warning, they were able to escape in time.
Ancestor Xuehe opened his mouth to speak, but stopped suddenly, his eyes dim and difficult to understand.
…
In the Tide Square, the monks coming and going had not yet fully awakened from the shock of the evil, bloody, and terrifying aura coming from the direction of Penglai Island, when they saw a middle-aged Taoist priest appear in the sky, and then turned into countless blood shadows. down.
Flames, thunder and lightning, ice and snow, flying swords, etc. hit the blood shadow, but they had no effect. He could only watch the blood shadow fall on him.
His eyes turned red, as if he was sinking into a sea of blood, and then fell into darkness. A piece of human skin fluttered to the ground, and a little bit of true spirit shot straight into the sky.
In an instant, there was not even a scream, but there was a deathly silence in Tide Square, with strange and terrifying human skins all over the ground.
This scene also happened on other islands, in overseas countries, in the four Arctic cities, among hundreds of Southern Barbarians, and in the Western Wilderness...
