Regarding the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the sword tomb, before they met, Wang Lu had made countless speculations.
There were some words that he didn't say during the conversation with Jianglu, but it didn't mean that he didn't have any ideas.
For example, the true meaning of the eight virtues test, in Wang Lu's view, was likely to be a bloody sacrificial ceremony. With a little sweetness, he lured the four sects to fight each other. When the blood flowed like a river, the casualties of the four sects' cultivators would become the best sacrificial offering. Even if the people of the four sects were relatively calm and rational and would not easily make a move, as long as they carefully designed the checkpoints, they could trigger the negative emotions in the hearts of the cultivators. For many demons, the inner demons of cultivators were also an excellent tonic. Similar cases were common in the thousands of years of history of Nine Regions, and those who had the ability to design such a trap and profit from it were mostly great devils.
However, because of this, it showed that the devil here was in a distressed state. Otherwise, he could directly come out and suppress this group of younger generation cultivators and put them into the blood furnace to refine them. Wouldn't that be more beneficial than anything else? After painstakingly designing the eight checkpoints, in the face of Wang Lu's angrily flipping the chessboard, he only responded with five gates combined, which showed that his control over the situation was quite limited.
This was also one of the reasons why Wang Lu dared to go deep into the exploration.
However, even if his control was limited, a devil was still a devil. To be able to control the mechanism inside the ancient sword tomb, the devil's identity and magical ability were not simple. When Wang Lu approached, his complexion was indifferent, but his vigilance has been raised to the limit. Whether the opposite party suddenly brandished the sword to attack him, or the surrounding black tide roared, or the crossing adversity boat turned into a strange beast, he had enough preparation.
However, he didn't expect that the opposite party would say such a sentence.
"Are you sick?"
Since this sentence was so nonsensical, in line with the principle of reciprocity, Wang Lu recalled the ancient saying that he learned in the past and replied, "If being handsome is also considered sick …"
That Sword Demon coldly snorted. "Then you're actually very strong."
While silently looking at Sword Demon, Wang Lu touched his chin. "The aesthetic of the ancients is really strange."
Sword Demon said, "Regardless of the time, the face of a brainless person is always repulsive."
Wang Lu was surprised. "Your scheme has been exposed by my supreme wisdom, and you still have the cheek to criticize me as a moron?"
Sword Demon said, "Crafty plots are just a small path. You are ingenious in your insignificant tricks, but you are stupid in the Great Dao of Immortal Cultivation. If this isn't a moron, then what is? If you're not an idiot, how could you have such a peerless aptitude like the Void Spirit Root, yet mess up your cultivation like this!? "
At the mention of this topic, Wang Lu suddenly felt like there was a fishbone stuck in his throat.
The problem of the Void Spirit Root being difficult to cultivate only existed after the Age of Chaos. For an old devil like the Sword Demon of the Sword Tomb, the Void Spirit Root was still an extraordinary character like the Shi Huang Immortal Emperor and Great Ancestor Desheng. Thus, it was inevitable that he would feel a little disappointed when he saw Wang Lu.
Of course, if he wanted to explain, there were many reasons. For example, the environment was not good, people's hearts were not what they used to be, and so on. Non-Phase Sword also had its own wonders … But in the end, it seemed weak. After thinking about it, Wang Lu could only say, "I am willing."
"You're willing? You're willing to do this kind of thing, if you're not a moron, then what are you? "
Sword Demon shook his head. "I thought I could find a talented and talented person to help me get out of trouble. Unexpectedly, in the end, I chose a trash like you. It's really a pity that time doesn't belong to me."
With that, he turned around and continued his sword dance, completely ignoring Wang Lu on the boat!
This change, even Wang Lu didn't expect it. After standing on the boat for a while, he found out that Sword Demon really didn't intend to pay attention to him, so he immediately frowned.
Wang Lu didn't believe that Sword Demon was really not in a hurry. If he wasn't in a hurry, why would he bother to design the eight virtues test? However, putting on this posture meant that Sword Demon was likely to see through his real situation.
Not only Sword Demon was anxious, but Wang Lu was also anxious. Zhu Shiyao's life or death was unknown. The longer he delayed, the worse the situation would be. Moreover, for Wang Lu, this place was not suitable for him to stay for a long time. After all, this was not his home field. Relying on the Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman alone was not enough. The more fatal problem was that the information held by the two sides was completely unequal.
Therefore, if he wanted to break the deadlock, he had to resort to other means. After calculating for a while, Wang Lu decided to make a risky move to break the deadlock first.
He brandished the Sword of Mount Kun and single-handedly rushed toward Sword Demon.
Sword Demon didn't even turn his head back as he continued his sword dance. However, when Wang Lu approached him, the sword in his hand strangely appeared in front of his eyes. The tip of the sword was pointed straight at Wang Lu.
Wang Lu was waiting for this kind of aggressive move. Non-Phase Sword was good at defense but bad at offense. If Sword Demon didn't take the initiative to make a move, it would be difficult for him to continue. Once Sword Demon made his move, his Sword of Mount Kun immediately followed. When the two swords collided, Wang Lu suddenly felt a strange force coming from the sword. It was a slight but extremely sticky force. Not only it was difficult for him to use the Nameless Sword to rebound the damage, but it also almost made him lose his grip on the sword. Moreover, that force attached to the Sword of Mount Kun, like a poisonous snake, constantly slithering toward him, trying to invade his body. However, after that trace of force diverted Wang Lu's Sword of Mount Kun, it was difficult for it to penetrate further into Wang Lu's body. It was firmly repelled by the two hundred and six Sword Bones' defense.
After that sword strike, Sword Demon finally moved his eyebrows and then stopped his sword dance. "A bit interesting."
It's good that it's interesting.
However, the next sentence changed the meaning.
"Such a stupid method, this is the first time this old man has seen it."
"…"
"Blindly strengthening the defense and even using the Big Heart Demon Oath to make yourself look like a turtle, it's simply stupid. A cultivator who cultivates to become an immortal cultivator should bravely cut through the thistles and thorns. You were born to be a target, what kind of immortal cultivator are you? How big of a grudge do you have against the person who taught you this method? How could he use such a vicious method against someone with Void Spirit Root? "
"…"
"Ridiculous, ridiculous, I thought I could get help from the eight gates test, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be a joke!"
With that, Sword Demon no longer paid attention to Wang Lu and continued to practice his swordsmanship. Upon hearing this, Wang Lu's heart was shaken, and distracting thoughts began to emerge. This Sword Demon's words were like a sharp sword, each sword strike was aimed at his vital points, making it difficult for him to remain indifferent.
The hatred of Void Spirit Root was one of his biggest regrets in his life. Although he had an unprecedented talent, he was bound within the framework of Non-Phase Method. Although after ten years of immortal cultivation, he had become a top figure among the younger generation, but compared to the top figures who swept the world within twenty years?
Although the environment of immortal cultivation in Nine Regions could not be mentioned in the same breath before and after the Age of Chaos, anyone would inevitably think, why can't I have the achievements of my predecessors?
Of course, whether it was Immortal Qin or Great Ancestor Desheng, it was all thanks to the Immortal World that they could achieve success in immortal cultivation. Before the Age of Chaos, the surrounding spiritual energy was very rich, and the environment was very beautiful, but they still could not rely on their own strength to embark on the road of immortal cultivation. The environment that Wang Lu lived in was a hundred times worse. Being able to have today's achievement was already commendable, even a miracle, but...
But, didn't the person before him live before the Age of Chaos? This place was a True Immortal level sword tomb, and this Sword Demon old man was likely to be the remnant soul of the sword tomb's master. Perhaps his strength was not that strong, but it was very likely that he had mastered the Immortal World's method. Otherwise, how could he ridicule and ridicule just now? In other words...
Thinking to this, Wang Lu couldn't remain calm. It was true that Lingjian School had cultivated him all these years, and he never had any complaints about Non-Phase Method. However, if he could have the Immortal Cultivation method of Great Ancestor Desheng … Why would he still be obsessed with Non-Phase Method?
The only problem was that this Sword Demon didn't seem to have a good impression of him. Obtaining the Immortal World's method from him would be as difficult as ascending to the sky. However, from another point of view, Sword Demon was trapped in the sword tomb. His situation was not as free and easy as it seemed. Otherwise, why would he need to tamper with the eight virtues test and bring him here?
At present, he was just a bit angry. When he calmed down, it was not difficult to find that the only one who could help him was Wang Lu. If he thought that Wang Lu's skill was not good enough, then shouldn't he teach him the Immortal World's method to help him get out of trouble?
Therefore, as long as he put on a good attitude and seriously cooperated with him, perhaps this would be the biggest Immortal Opportunity in Wang Lu's life!
As long as he thought about the record of Great Ancestor Desheng sweeping the world in twenty years, anyone would be fascinated by it!
Thinking to this, the corner of Wang Lu's mouth couldn't help but curve up slightly. However, in just a moment, the smile on his face quickly turned cold.
If he really thought about it like that, it would be tantamount to falling into the Sword Demon's trap! This Sword Demon was indeed worthy to be a devil from the ancient times. His ability to grasp people's heart had reached perfection. With just a few words, he could shake people's mind, make them confused, at a loss, and unknowingly fall into a trap.
Wang Lu admitted that the Sword Demon's words just now had really moved his heart. However, although he was moved, he didn't lose his basic reason.
In the current situation, it was not his turn to ask for help. The Immortal World's method was indeed a great temptation. However, first, Sword Demon might not really have it. At present, he might just be pretending. Second, even if he couldn't get the Immortal World's method, so what? He, Wang Lu, was still the lead disciple of the Lingjian School, the top cultivator of the younger generation in Nine Regions! Third, what was the purpose of his trip? Was it for the Immortal World's method? His Big Sister Zhu Shiyao's situation was still unknown. Just because of a few words from a suspicious old devil, he was going to kneel and lick his boots? And the most important thing was, right now, who should be begging who!?
After calmly finding his own pace, Wang Lu was no longer disturbed by the Sword Demon's trick. After taking a deep breath, he directly reached into his mustard seed bag and pinched the Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman.
"Since I'm such an eyesore, then I'll take my leave."
With that, Wang Lu poured his magical power into the Heavenly Talisman, intending to activate it. His action was unexpectedly clean and swift, extremely decisive!
Feeling the change in his magical power, as well as Wang Lu's firm will, the Sword Demon finally couldn't maintain his composure and stopped his sword dance.
"Wait!"
Almost at the same time, Wang Lu closed the Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman. The smile on his face was as if nothing had happened.
"What's the matter? Sir Sword Demon? "
