"Wait a minute!"
When Wang Lu tried to launch the Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman and immediately return to the sect, Sword Demon finally could not maintain his calm and coldly said, "Wait a minute!"
Wang Lu inwardly sighed: You finally can't hold it anymore?
"What can I do for you, Mr. Sword Demon?"
Sword Demon Twilight glanced at the mustard seed bag in Wang Lu's hand. "The talisman in your bag is the emergency talisman given by the sect to send you back to the sect in a critical moment? If you rashly use it here, aren't you afraid that it will cause the space to shake and turn you into powder? “
Wang Lu said, "Since it's a life-saving thing given by the sect to its disciple, it naturally has a life-saving method. In theory, no matter what kind of dangerous situation you are in, even if it's the Devil World or the Western Continent, nothing can block the transmission effect of the talisman."
"Oh? It actually has such a miraculous effect? "Sword Demon was greatly surprised.
Wang Lu explained, "After the Age of Chaos, although the strength of cultivators is not as good as before, many of the techniques have advanced a lot compared to ten thousand years ago."
"This is indeed an eye-opener, can you let this old man have a look?"
Wang Lu just smiled. Since the Grand Cloud Mountain was set up by the Elders of the Imperial Beast School, no matter how stupid Wang Lu was, he should remember that there were some things that couldn't be casually seen by others.
"Very well, since you're wary, then forget it. Since you have so much confidence in your talisman, then go ahead and try it. But I also want to remind you, don't underestimate the power of the sword tomb. If it's so easy to get out, why do you think I stayed here until now? "
Wang Lu was silent for a moment, and then smiled. "If the talisman can be used, I will remember to take you with me next time."
Then, Wang Lu really stimulated his magical power and lit up the Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman in his mustard seed bag.
The current situation was completely out of his control. Every conversation with Sword Demon made him feel like he was facing an abyss. Behind the seemingly dull dialogue, there was actually a surging undercurrent. Rescuing his Big Sister was important, but it was not worth it. Coming to this point was already benevolent, it was time to get out of here.
The only question was, could he go?
Boom!
At the moment when the Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman lit up, the vast sea of bitterness set off monstrous waves. The black fog ferociously tumbled and was repeatedly torn by the invisible giant force. The sea of bitterness boat in the black tide was instantly covered with cracks and was about to collapse. The specks of light where Sword Devil was was also greatly compressed and rapidly shrank.
At the same time, Wang Lu's heart sank. He knew that things were going to be bad.
Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman was indeed marvelous, but its energy was, after all, limited. Breaking through the spatial barrier and constructing the teleportation channel consumed a lot of energy. Therefore, the Heavenly Talisman was made with great care and effort. Every bit of energy had to be put to good use. When it actually took effect, the user would just silently disappear on the spot, and there wouldn't be any unnecessary changes. If the energy was used to trigger the huge waves in the Bitter Sea, it meant that the teleportation had failed.
Sure enough, after a while, the huge waves in the sea of bitterness gradually subsided. Wang Lu held a few remaining light spots of the Heavenly Talisman in his hand. He was still in front of Sword Demon, not on Spirit Sword Mountain.
Wang Lu silently closed his eyes and sighed.
At this time, it was useless to say anything. Complain that the sect's treasure was not powerful enough? Regret that he shouldn't rashly go in? Speculate on the principle of the Heavenly Talisman's failure? What's the use? When he made the decision, he should have fully considered all the changes...
Therefore, now was the time to start the plan.
Although it was shocking that the Heavenly Talisman failed, it was not particularly unexpected. The worst expectation was even worse than this. Then … it was not that he couldn't play anymore.
Just when Wang Lu was ready to regroup, Sword Demon finally opened his mouth.
"You underestimate this Ancient Sword Tomb too much. Your Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman is indeed unique, it can actually cause the Bitter Sea to boil. In my time, even the most brilliant Talisman Master couldn't draw such a talisman. However, no matter how brilliant it is, it's still a mortal's method. It won't work in the tomb of a True Immortal."
Speaking to this, Sword Demon paused and then said, "If you want to escape from this restriction, unless you have the means of a True Immortal, you have to obtain the master's approval."
"Master?"
Hearing this, Wang Lu finally realized a problem.
The Ancient Sword Tomb, as the name suggested, was a tomb of swords. However, it was not difficult to find out that what was buried here was not as simple as a sword...
"The master of this place is called Zhong Shengming."
Hearing this, Wang Lu was startled. Zhong Shengming? What a familiar name! The Bai Li Sword God that was specifically recorded in the 《Bai Li Ascension》 was not a True Immortal, but was even more powerful than a True Immortal!?
According to the rumor, the Bai Li Sword God Zhong Shengming was a powerful sword cultivator sixteen thousand years ago who was unhindered in the Nine Regions. The Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword that he cultivated was invincible. He was an illustrious character in that era of powerful cultivators. Wang Lu clearly remembered the record in the 《Bai Li Ascension》: Zhong Shengming had never tasted defeat in his life. However, he had never fought against the most famous and powerful cultivators in the present age. What really made him famous was the Heaven Splitting Tribulation.
More than twenty thousand years ago, there was a devil in the Bai Li Region who tried to steal the Heaven's Secret, which caused the wrath of the Heaven and Earth. The Heaven Splitting Tribulation continued, and the people of the Bai Li Region were plunged into misery and suffering. The Earthveins withered, and the Bai Li Region was unable to recover its vitality for more than a thousand years. Later, the Heaven Splitting Tribulation dissipated, but the Bai Li Region was still particularly gloomy. The cultivation path of the cultivators in this place was far more bumpy than in other places. At every checkpoint, the Heaven and Earth would make things difficult for them. And after going through many difficulties to reach the Mahayana Stage, the Ascension Tribulation that they faced was far more powerful than in other places. Ordinary cultivators had to go through one in nine Heavenly Tribulations and two in nine Heavenly Tribulations. However, in this place, the Heavenly Tribulations started from three in nine Heavenly Tribulations. When Zhong Shengming turned Bai Li's Feng Shui Line into his own, he used a matchless divine sword to attract the four in nine Heavenly Tribulations. The sword qi broke through the night and dispersed the ten thousand years of haze in one fell swoop, opening the light for the later generations of cultivators. After experiencing nearly ten thousand years of suppression, Bai Li Region soon glowed with extraordinary vitality. Later, in several thousand years, three Supremes successively ascended from this place. In the Nine Regions, it was second only to the Central Region.
However, after the Heaven Splitting Tribulation, Zhong Shengming himself was fatally injured and soon died. Later generations commented on this person, all of them felt deeply regretful. With the power he showed during the Heaven Splitting Tribulation, even if he was not a True Immortal, he was still better than a True Immortal. If he could successfully cross the tribulation, perhaps he would be a prominent figure in the Immortal World!
In the 《Bai Li Ascension》, when Zhong Shengming fell, there was no sound. He lived a lonely life. When he was alive, he was vigorous, and when he died, it was normal. However, unexpectedly, before he died, he built such a tomb!
"This tomb was built before the final battle, and it was originally a place for him to bury his mantle and find a successor. However, after the Heaven Splitting Tribulation, Zhong Shengming was seriously injured by the four in nine divine tribulations. His Jade Mansion collapsed, and his primordial spirit scattered. He felt that he had a slim chance of survival, so he came here alone to seek a slim chance of survival. He sealed himself in the deepest part of the tomb and connected it with the Feng Shui line. Then, his primordial spirit scattered into millions of remnant souls to drive away the Heaven Splitting Tribulation. Every wisp of remnant soul was connected to the Feng Shui line, absorbing the good fortune of heaven and earth. If the Heavens favored him, perhaps he could recover to his original state. Perhaps he could succeed, perhaps he couldn't. Even if he succeeded, it would take a long time. At that time, Zhong Shengming was just making the last gamble of his life. However, perhaps he was not fated to die, or perhaps his immeasurable merit for opening the Immortal Path for the tens of thousands of cultivators in Bai Li Region was rewarded. In short, after more than ten thousand years, those millions of remnant souls were finally provoked to swallow each other and gradually restored to their original state. "
Speaking to this point, Sword Demon paused for a moment. He looked at Wang Lu with great interest, and then said with a smile, "However, even Zhong Shengming himself didn't expect that in this process, he would meet a group of uninvited guests, which led things out of control."
Seeing Wang Lu's deep frown, Sword Demon's smile became even wider. "This method of resurrection has a very fatal flaw. Those millions of remnant souls absorbed external force and condensed into one. During this process, it was inevitable that there would be impurities mixed in. These impurities are also related to Zhong Shengming's cultivation method. All his life, he cultivated the sword and courageously advanced. Any evil spirit, whether inside or outside, was suppressed or beheaded, and could not approach him. However, after his death, all kinds of devils would come to his door. In order to avoid turning into an evil spirit when he was resurrected, Zhong Shengming made another arrangement before his death. He buried the Yin Yang Sword Division Array in this tomb, which divided the millions of remnant souls into good and evil, and then created a guardian to suppress the evil spirit. When the process of resurrection reached the final step, the good side could command the guardian to refine the evil spirit, extract its soul essence, and combine it into one, thus resurrecting from the dead. During this period of time, although the arrangement was not perfect, and after the passage of ten thousand years, many of the mechanisms were rigid and decayed, but generally, they were still functioning. Unfortunately, when it was about to be completed, an outsider came to this tomb and rashly broke the guardian that suppressed the evil spirit, releasing a devil that was supposed to be dead. "
Hearing this, Wang Lu suddenly remembered one thing.
Previously, in the eight trials, because of the strange cold voice, Wang Lu became suspicious and guessed that there was a manipulator behind the scenes in the sword tomb. However, after carefully thinking about it, the voice first appeared in the second trial, where the guardian was attacking! In other words...
Truly, he brought this upon himself!
After taking a deep breath, Wang Lu laughed self-deprecatingly. This trip to the ancient sword tomb was really stupid. From the very beginning, the people of the four sects were played in the palm of the other party's hand! This Sword Demon only used a few words to make everyone go in the wrong direction. Whether they were the Successor Disciple of Shengjing Sect, the lead disciple of Kunlun Immortal Sect, or a super professional adventurer, all of them were kept in the dark. Like a marionette, they were wantonly driven around!
However, compared to being shocked by the truth, what was more important was to think about this question: What was the purpose of this Sword Demon to reveal the truth without any disguise?
"I want you to do me a favor, and at the same time, do yourself a favor. As I said just now, you and I are in the deepest area of the sword tomb, which is completely sealed. If you want to get out, you have to get the permission of the original owner. Although I am Zhong Shengming's remnant soul, at this time, my state is not complete, so I can't be regarded as the original owner. Therefore, I don't have the authority to open the seal. If you want to get the authority, there is only one way. "
While speaking, Sword Demon waved his hand, and a crystal mirror appeared in front of him.
In the mirror, the figure of an old man with white hair and beard was reflected. His appearance and clothes were no different from Sword Demon's. Only the character on the back of his robe changed from Devil to God.
Obviously, this was the other remnant soul of Zhong Shengming, the symbol of the positive Sword God Zhong Shengming.
And beside the Sword God, Wang Lu saw a figure that he hadn't seen for a long time.
Big Sister, Zhu Shiyao!
