It was pitch black.
There was no light in his line of sight … Of course, it was a bit far-fetched to say that he could see, because right now, Wang Lu had no eyes at all.
At this time, his primordial spirit was in an out-of-body state. Just now, he used the combination of God Extinguishing Sword and God Seal to seriously injure Sword God. When Sword God was defeated, he chose to perish together with him. Then, a primordial spirit black hole suddenly appeared and directly pulled his primordial spirit out of his body!
What was the principle of this black hole? For the time being, it was not known. Because in theory, the body tempered by Non-Phase Method could be called an iron wall, so how could it be so easy to pull out the primordial spirit? If Sword God could tear other people's primordial spirit at will, he would've done it long ago. Why would he wait until now?
However, from the current situation, Wang Lu had completely lost his physical perception. His perception of the surrounding was as if his five senses had been melted into a ball, which was very mysterious and familiar. This was exactly the perspective of his Jade Mansion, also known as divine sense — primordial spirit acquaintance.
However, at this time, it was not the Inner View Cultivation, so the location of the primordial spirit could not be determined. Wang Lu controlled his primordial spirit to disassemble his divine sense, which was similar to the perception of the five senses of the body. A moment later, Wang Lu saw himself in the darkness.
It was still the Successor Disciple uniform — the red and white robe that he had worn for ten years. This image was Wang Lu's most intuitive perception of himself, so the primordial spirit form was like this. After disassembling his divine sense, Wang Lu soon saw a bit of light in the darkness.
After walking toward the light for a while, his field of vision gradually widened. Soon, in the middle of the light, Zhu Shiyao's figure was clearly discernible.
Seeing that slender and slightly delicate figure, Wang Lu immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He did not hesitate to take the risk to come here from the eight gates trial just for this awe-inspiring and dignified Big Sister!
Although there were such contradictions in the middle, and the current situation was far from optimistic, Wang Lu still smiled and greeted, "Senior Sister, I trust you've been well since we last met."
Upon hearing his voice, Zhu Shiyao turned her head. Obviously, she was also very accustomed to the way of communication between primordial spirit and body. Upon hearing Wang Lu's greeting, she somewhat doubtfully asked, "Who are you …? Calling me Senior Sister, is that a Junior Brother from the Spirit Sword Mountain? "
Wang Lu was shocked. 'Bastard, pretending not to know after stabbing someone!?'
However, Zhu Shiyao quickly explained, "My Stellar Divine Eyes divine ability hasn't reached great success, so my perception ability is flawed. Junior Martial Brother, please show me the sword art you're good at."
Wang Lu was startled again. 'Traitor Sun, you speak so smoothly? Is your tongue straight?' On second thought, he realized that Zhu Shiyao could only express herself fluently when she was communicating with her Primordial Spirit like this.
On the other hand, displaying the sword technique that he was most proficient in for identification … Could it be that you recognize people based on their sword techniques?
With this thought in mind, Wang Lu activated his primordial spirit and released the Non-Phase Sword Light. Zhu Shiyao's eyes suddenly lit up. "Ah, it's the Non-Phase Sword! Fifth Martial Uncle's Non-Phase Sword! You're Wang Lu!? "
… Young girl, you really have good eyesight. You don't recognize my face that can make young girls dream about, but you can clearly recognize my sword light when it's just beginning to shine! What a strange fetish this was! A person has all kinds of characteristics, but you just have to find the unpopular one!
Zhu Shiyao said confidently, "What do other characteristics have to do with me? I only care about the sword technique. " After a pause, she said, "Sure enough, it's you. I vaguely felt that you were familiar before, but I really didn't remember … I didn't show any mercy before, I'm really sorry."
Wang Lu didn't care. It was beneath his dignity to argue too much with a disabled person. "It doesn't matter, I understand."
Zhu Shiyao was quite surprised that Wang Lu was so easy to talk to. The apology that she had prepared in her heart for a long time suddenly couldn't be said. She opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say. She could only blink her pair of seemingly bright big eyes, revealing a blank and innocent expression.
There was an awkward silence between the two, and then Zhu Shiyao said, "Junior Martial Brother, are you also here to compete for the Sword God's inheritance?"
Wang Lu said snappily, "I'm here to save you! You've always been orange-red in the team leader's handbook, so obviously you're trapped. As the team leader, of course I have to find you. Later, I heard that you became the godfather of an ancient Sword God, but the handbook was always orange. I knew that your situation wasn't good, and most likely you were tricked. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to explain it to you. "
Zhu Shiyao was stunned for a long time before saying, "Oh." After a long time, she said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome. I didn't save you anyway, and I even lost myself."
As Wang Lu said this, he looked at the vast darkness around him, but it seemed even deeper than the Endless Sea of Bitterness. The Sea of Bitterness was boundless, but at least there was black fog churning around him, making people realize that this place wasn't dead silent. But at this moment, other than the spot where Wang Lu and Zhu Shiyao were standing, the rest was empty.
They were probably trapped by some ancient divine ability when the Sword God self-destructed. If they wanted to break out … they didn't know how.
After a long period of silence, he heard Zhu Shiyao say, "Junior Brother, you …"
Wang Lu waved his hand. "I'm fine. It's the duty of the team leader to share weal and woe with the teammates. No matter what you think, when we left the mountain, Master and Uncle asked me to take care of everyone, so I have to shoulder the burden. Besides, the situation is not that bad now. It's better for two people to be trapped than for one person to die. At least we can still think of a way."
"What I want to say is, you're really weak."
Wang Lu was stunned for the time it took to drink a cup of tea. His heart was like a raging sea. Big Sister, are you f * cking asking for a beating? I worked so hard to come here to save you, but you just stabbed me and scolded me. You're like the Pan Jinlian who abandoned her ex-husband and hired a gang of gangsters to break people's legs!
Zhu Shiyao said, "What I want to say is that Master once told me that you're the lead disciple of the Spirit Sword Mountain, and in all aspects, you're above me. In the future, you're likely to inherit the position of the Sect Leader. However, in the previous two fights, your strength is really weak. At least, you're not stronger than me."
With that, she was somewhat indignant, as if she disapproved of her Master's evaluation.
Wang Lu's voice sank. "Did the Sect Leader say that?"
As the lead disciple of the Spirit Sword Mountain, in the future, he would inherit the position of the Sect Leader? Was that what Feng Yin Daoist Master intended to do? Although the Heavenly Sword Hall Elders had vaguely hinted at this, it was unexpected for Feng Yin Daoist Master to make such an obvious statement.
Yes, in the current Lingjian School, the only one in the younger generation who could assume the position of Sect Leader was Wang Lu. Liu Li and Zhu Shiyao's strength were enough, but in other aspects, they were far from enough. As for Wen Bao, Yue Xinyao, and the others, they were also excellent cultivators, but compared to Wang Lu, they were far behind.
But, this was the position of the Sect Leader of one of the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League … Well, let's wait and see. Feng Yin Daoist Master's appearance looked old, but in fact, he only cultivated for more than two hundred years. With his Deity Stage cultivation base, he was already at the age of committing a crime. He still had a long way to go, so there was no need to care about the Sect Leader.
However, what was the meaning of Big Sister's attitude? Was she dissatisfied with him, the future Sect Leader?
"So, Senior Sister, do you think you're more suitable to be the Sect Leader?"
Zhu Shiyao said, "I don't want to. If Master thinks you're suitable, then it should be right. I don't look at people, I only look at swords. Therefore, perhaps you're very suitable to be the Sect Leader of Spirit Sword Sect, but your swordsmanship is not strong enough. "
Wang Lu was amused. "Loser, do you have the nerve to say that?"
Zhu Shiyao immediately stuck out her chest. "I didn't lose! In terms of swordsmanship, I'm still stronger. Previously, I lost because my glasses were broken, so I was a bit slow in grasping the 'opportunity'. At that time, my condition was not good. " With that, she suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "It's like, if one day, you're seriously injured, and I defeat you, does that mean I'm stronger than you?"
Wang Lu asked, "The strength that can only be displayed by relying on the glasses is not called strength. If one day, I take a Demon Disintegration Pill or something, and my strength soars by ten times, and I can crush you like an ant, do you think I'm ten times stronger than you?"
However, Zhu Shiyao said, "The glasses are not a foreign object, but an important support that closely matches my cultivation technique. When I achieve Jindan and the Great Dao is formed, I can internalize foreign objects … In short, the glasses are an inseparable part of me!"
Puff!
An inseparable part? Wang Lu was about to spit. He thought to himself that although this Eldest Senior Sister often looked like she had a screw loose in her head, she would occasionally say something shocking. If one day she found an ancient swordsmanship manual and learned that it was necessary to practice it, would she be conflicted about being inseparable?
"Words are not convincing. Since you stubbornly believe that you're stronger, then when we get out of here, let's have a one-on-one duel in the arena of Ethereal Peak. The loser will call me father. How about that?"
"It's a deal!" Zhu Shiyao's eyes shone with eagerness. To her, being able to duel with an expert in swordsmanship was more attractive than anything else. Although she had belittled Wang Lu's swordsmanship cultivation, she only felt that Wang Lu's swordsmanship was slightly weaker than hers. It was difficult to predict the outcome of an actual battle, so he was the perfect opponent for a duel.
"But the problem now is how to get out, and first of all … where is this place?"
Deep in a dilemma, Wang Lu did not panic. Instead, he methodically began to analyze the situation rationally, trying to find a solution. This darkness seemed to be unsolvable, but Wang Lu believed that there would always be a way out.
"Why go through so much trouble? If there's no way out, then we'll cut a way out!"
After Zhu Shiyao finished speaking, the starry sword light bloomed from her primordial spirit.
Wang Lu was too lazy to deal with such an idiot who only had swords in her mind. "You do what you need to do, I'm going to think."
Looking at Zhu Shiyao, who was constantly trying to cut through the darkness with her sword Qi, Wang Lu suddenly thought of something while lamenting the persistence of this sword maniac.
He and Zhu Shiyao were both in the primordial spirit state, but with their cultivation, it was impossible for their primordial spirits to be directly exposed. Before advancing to the Nascent Soul Realm, in theory, the primordial spirit was extremely fragile. It was the cultivator's Purple Palace that protected the primordial spirit until it was strong enough to move independently.
So now, the place where their primordial spirits were, could it be …
Thinking of the situation where Zhu Shiyao's body was taken over, Wang Lu's mind flashed like lightning.
Holy shit, it can't be!?
This boundless emptiness and darkness was actually caused by Zhu Shiyao's Purple Palace being forcibly expanded by a Quasi-True Immortal's remnant soul!?
Wang Lu looked at the Eldest Senior Sister in shock, who was still in a daze.
Eldest Senior Sister, you're really … tolerant!
