Icy Cold Light Realm, Guang Han Moon Palace.
"The people of the Massacre Path are rather upright. I'm not sure if I should say that they are self-respecting or crazy." Shi Xuan looked at the Lord Of Heaven and smiled. He moved his hand away from the void a few inches above the heads of the three mighty figures.
Shi Xuan asked curiously, "What do you mean?"
Heavenly Lord Han Jing explained with a smile. It turned out that the Massacre Path used revenge to kill people as a way to strengthen their cohesiveness, but they always only killed those they wanted to kill. Unless it involved a major secret, or the real victim's family was annihilating for revenge, or someone was blocking their path of killing, they would not take the initiative to kill the people they wanted to kill, their fellow disciples, and so on. As for the many enemies they would make because of this, it was not something they were worried about. They even treated it as a form of training in the future. They would either kill their way out of countless dangers, or they would die.
Of course, this was also one of the reasons why they were able to survive until now without being destroyed.
"It is indeed a little crazy, but this is good. Otherwise, our sect's Spiritual Masters and disciples would not dare to travel." Shi Xuan nodded slightly. If the Massacre Path targeted Penglai's Spiritual Masters and disciples and used them as bait, even if he was made of iron, how many nails could he hit?
The Lord Of Heaven continued, "From their memories, the Massacre Path currently has nine Fourth Retribution Lord Of Heaven. Four of them are even ancient mighty figures. However, as the Massacre Path is very secretive, they only recognize the aura of their own Fourth Retribution Lord Of Heaven. They do not know their specific identity or whereabouts."
"Those four must be the followers of the Supreme Spiritual Treasures and the Chaos Mutants." Shi Xuan had contacted Granny Yu in recent years and learned more about the Slaughter Dao from her. For example, among the four, there should be Yuantu and Avici, the two Flying Swords of Numinous Treasures that were famous in ancient times. They were the most precious treasures of Slaughter. As for the other two, Granny Yu did not know much about them. She had only heard that one of them had a peculiar background.
Meng Nishang, who had been listening quietly, suddenly interrupted, "Shi Xuan, you have displayed the Level Eight Immortal Technique Flying Sword. The Massacre Path will probably treat you as a Third Retribution Lord Of Heaven to deal with. In the future, you need to be careful when you go out to train."
The Massacre Path could endure for hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of years before coming to kill Shi Xuan. However, it was impossible for Shi Xuan to hide and cultivate in Guo Han Sect or Shang Gu Sect. After all, without training, it would be difficult to improve his realm. Once he went out to train, he would be in a situation where the Massacre Path could attack him at any time. It was really a headache. Fortunately, Shi Xuan had the Cosmic Bell with him. His whereabouts were hard to predict. The Massacre Path could only rely on others to track Shi Xuan.
"Moreover, these Fourth Retribution Lord Of Heaven of the Massacre Path have all had the experience of killing the weak. Although Senior Shenxiao is a half-step Golden Immortal, he has not reached the Dao Integration. After they attack, they can naturally hide in the chaotic chaos." The Hanjing Lord Of Heaven also reminded.
Even a lion would go all out to catch a rabbit. Shi Xuan himself understood this principle. He believed that many cultivators in the Myriad Heavens and Myriad Worlds would also understand this principle. However, they would either disdain to attack because of their status, or because of the other party's background, they had to abide by the hidden rule of not bullying the weak in the Immortal Cultivation World.
However, according to Lady Yu, there were a few Fourth Retribution Lord Of Heaven of the Massacre Path who had obtained the True Meaning of the Massacre Dao. After killing, they would not be stained with karma. Therefore, even a half-step Golden Immortal would find it difficult to track them down. Naturally, many taboos would not exist.
Shi Xuan nodded solemnly. "I will be prepared."
Because the Third Retribution Lord Of Heaven of the Celestial Trapping Lineage had escaped, Shi Xuan and Meng Nishang did not think of using the communication methods and locations in the memories of the few Second Retribution Almighties to counterattack the Massacre Path. With just a twist of the sword light, they were killed. However, because they had their own thoughts and were suppressed by the Third Retribution Lord Of Heaven, they did not die completely. However, if they wanted to restore their Second Retribution Cultivation Base, it would probably take five or six thousand years. The third Deva's Blight would not be delayed.
As for the items on them, it was unknown whether it was because they were Sword Cultivators or because they often fought, but they had pitifully few items. They did not even have a Level Seven Secret Treasure. This indirectly proved that the higher one went, the rarer the Secret Treasures became. Level Eight Secret Treasures were extremely rare and Level Nine Secret Treasures could only be found by chance.
…
Guang Han Moon Palace, the fragrance of osmanthus calmed one's mind.
Shi Xuan woke up from his meditation and walked to the window, admiring the ever-blooming osmanthus flowers and the bright moon. In the past five months, the Massacre Dao didn't attack again, and the news gradually spread with the coming and going of the Heaven Monarchs.
At this moment, Meng Nishang, who was dressed in white, walked over. She was cold and composed, and she complemented the entire Guang Han Immortal Palace.
Meng Nishang walked all the way to the small building where Shi Xuan lived. Shi Xuan's figure flashed and appeared in front of her. She said softly, "A Third Retribution Almighty called True Lord Jinhe secretly came to the sect and sent me a message through a secret method. He said that he wanted to meet you and discuss the matter of dealing with the Massacre Path. En, I'm worried that it's a trap, so I let Fellow Daoist Cold Mirror take charge of the grotto-heaven and contacted Kong Ran. If you want to meet him, you have to investigate carefully first. "
Shi Xuan nodded, "Senior Meng is very thorough." It was no wonder that Meng Nishang was not flustered.
The Seamless Massacre Path was an innumerable superior sword cultivation technique that could conceal and change one's aura. When he was in Penglai, under the situation where their cultivations were similar, Shi Xuan did not notice that the Second Retribution Almighty Transformation Path's disciple had mixed in. It was only when his killing intent was revealed and his sword light was released that Shi Xuan let down his guard. He was waiting for this enemy of the Massacre Path to come and meet him in secret. Therefore, he had to guard against the Lord Of Heaven of the Massacre Path.
After waiting for a while, he received news from Kong Ran that True Monarch Jinhe really existed. He had once almost died in the hands of a Lord Of Heaven of the Massacre Path. His aura was the same as the one outside.
After receiving this news, Shi Xuan said, "Invite him in. I want to meet him."
Now that they were on guard, if the Lord Of Heaven of the Lord Of Heaven launched a surprise attack in the grotto-heaven, he would be walking into a trap and seeking his own death. Of course, Shi Xuan would not let down his guard because of this.
Meng Nishang nodded slightly, "Okay." Then, she ordered Su Yingzi to secretly lure True Monarch Jinhe into the grotto-heaven.
When True Monarch Jinhe passed through the grotto-heaven's barrier, the Lord Of Heaven sent a thought, "There are no signs of changing his aura. Judging from the grotto-heaven's law inside his primordial spirit, he is the real True Monarch Jinhe. Moreover, there are no signs of malice."
Not long after, Su Yingzi, who had already passed the first Heavenly Tribulation, led a grey-robed old man in. Although his facial features were old, he was quite handsome.
True Monarch Jinhe looked up at Shi Xuan and smiled. Then, he cupped his hands and bowed, "Lao Dao Jinhe greets True Monarch Shi."
Shi Xuan had just returned the greeting when he suddenly felt that he could not move. It was as if his primordial spirit was firmly bound by something!
His surroundings immediately became dark and ferocious, as if he had arrived in another world. Inside, there were countless horrifying massacres. Fathers killed their sons, sons killed their mothers, mothers poisoned their daughters, women stabbed their husbands, husbands beheaded their wives … All the beautiful relationships eventually evolved into a bloody and sorrowful scene of mutual hatred.
Avici Hell, Avici Hell!
In this world, a seemingly unstoppable black sword light slashed toward Shi Xuan, who was bound in the center.
…
Outside Yu Yutian, a star in the void was filled with black fog.
In the center of the fog, there was a tall altar. Around the altar, there were 12 demonic statues with different expressions but the same strong killing aura. The black fog was caused by them.
The altar was dark, filled with phantoms of father and son killing each other, husband and wife killing each other, and friends killing each other. The whole altar had turned into a Avici Hell.
In the center of this hell, a black-robed Lord Of Heaven sat cross-legged. His face was ordinary, making it difficult for anyone who had seen him to have an impression of him. A black flying sword floated above his knees. His aura was terrifying and full of killing aura.
Ten feet away from the black-robed Lord Of Heaven, there was a small Taoist altar that seemed to be black and white. Inside it was a seven-inch grass doll that was tied up.
The karmic light of the Taoist altar flowed, but the grass doll's aura could not be stabilized. It was constantly changing. Several times, its face was about to transform into Shi Xuan's appearance, but it finally collapsed. It was as if something was blocking it, making it difficult to lock the karmic light.
The black-robed Lord Of Heaven was not in a hurry. He just waited quietly.
When True Lord Jinhe successfully entered the World of Cold Light, the black-robed Lord Of Heaven smiled lightly. "Jinhe Old Ghost, do you think that you were able to escape because you are strong enough?"
When True Lord Jinhe saw Shi Xuan with his own eyes, the grass doll's aura instantly stabilized, and it transformed into Shi Xuan's appearance. The Taoist altar that seemed to be black and White Light shone brightly. The karmic light was locked!
The grass doll struggled slightly, but it could not get rid of the ordinary hemp rope. At the same time, the surrounding Avici Hell poured into it!
It was a once in a lifetime opportunity! As long as the Hanjing Lord Of Heaven reacted, he could use the barrier of the Heavenly Abode to slow down the karmic connection.
The Avici Flying Sword in front of the black-robed Lord Of Heaven immediately turned into a terrifyingly sharp killing sword light and slashed toward the grass doll made of ordinary straw!
"Shi Xuan, you can die a worthy death since you managed to use up an eighth-stage karmic secret treasure of mine that can only be found by luck but not sought after."
The black-robed Lord Of Heaven stared coldly at the sword light flying toward the grass doll. This secret treasure was given to him by the ancient mighty figure of the Dao of Slaughter.
However, at this moment, an all-encompassing golden bridge seemed to have appeared on the grass doll, which seemed to be able to suppress all worlds, karma, and fate. Its appearance became blurred again, and the karmic connection was about to be broken.
"It's a pity that the natal spiritual treasure you refined by imitating the Tai Chi Diagram is not even at the third level."
As this thought flashed in the black-robed Lord Of Heaven's mind, the Taoist altar that seemed to be black and white suddenly burst out. In just a moment, the suppressed karmic connection became stable again, and the appearance of the grass doll became clear again.
The sword light that had paused for a moment fell on the grass doll!
Clang! A clear and melodious bell rang suddenly and leisurely!
At the moment when the karmic connection was suppressed under the Nirvana Golden Bridge, the bell was transmitted through the karmic connection and resounded throughout the void star.
Time fluctuated like water, and the pervading black fog stagnated. The black gas emitted by the twelve demonic statues stopped on the surface, and the reversed Avici Hell froze in mid-air. The black and horrible sword light seemed to have lost its soul. It stopped abruptly when it had touched the grass doll.
Even the black-robed Lord Of Heaven himself was stunned for a moment, and his Vital Spirit could hardly move.
As soon as the bell rang, time stagnated!
Only the karmic connection was slightly affected by time. It was still operating, just a little slower.
At this moment, with the help of the karmic connection, an ice-crystal cold light that could penetrate all worlds shot out from the grass doll. With the power of the entire Ice and Snow Cold Light World, it directly hit the Avici sword light and the black-robed Lord Of Heaven's unresponsive body.
The sword light and the primordial spirit were quickly frozen, and the black-robed Lord of Heaven turned into a translucent ice sculpture in the blink of an eye. Even his thoughts and incarnations in other places were frozen because of the extremely powerful force of karma in this place.
"No!"
Time returned to normal. The black-robed Lord Of Heaven felt a deep chill in his Vital Spirit, and it was difficult for him to move. He was extremely terrified, but he could only watch as countless tiny ice cracks appeared on his body. Then, he, the Avici sword light, and his thoughts incarnations turned into ice fragments that filled the sky.
He had created an opportunity to kill with the karmic connection, and also completely died with the karmic connection!
The Taoist altar was shining with a black and white light, as if the effect had not been exhausted.
…
Shi Xuan, who was in the Guang Han Moon Palace, did not try to break free by force. He just needed to retrieve the karmic secret treasure.
Just now, Shi Xuan had used the Taiji Diagram to suppress the karmic connection for a moment, and launched the Universal Bell normally. He also transmitted the power of time stagnation through the karmic connection, so that the Han Lord Of Heaven had enough time to react and use the power of the Ice and Snow Cold Light World to counterattack.
Perfected Lord Jinhe, who was in front of him, was talking about how to deal with the Massacre Dao. He did not notice Shi Xuan's abnormality at all, nor did he notice that Meng Nishang had quietly stood in front of Shi Xuan.
If not for the fact that she did not want to start another war at this critical moment when Shi Xuan's life was hanging by a thread, Meng Nishang would have long launched the Heavenly Abode Immortal Formation. Even without the immortal talisman to suppress the formation eye, she was confident that she could temporarily suppress Jinhe and the Lord Of Heaven. After all, he was in the Ice and Snow Cold Light World, inside someone else's immortal formation!
"It seems that Perfected Lord Jinhe has no idea at all." Meng Nishang's immortal consciousness drilled into Shi Xuan's Vital Spirit to communicate.
Shi Xuan did not know whether to laugh or be angry. "He is really a little pitiful. I don't know how long he has been searching for the Massacre Dao's Three Tribulations, the Lord Of Heaven's Dao. Fortunately, he contacted the Lord Of Heaven everywhere to deal with the Massacre Dao. "
"It's settled. Sigh, if Perfected Lord Jinhe had no idea, he would not have been able to escape the detection of my Heavenly Abode's barrier. I'm sorry, I almost got you into trouble. " The Lord Of Heaven explained somewhat awkwardly. Shi Xuan had only met Perfected Lord Jinhe because he trusted him.
Shi Xuan shook his head. "It has nothing to do with you, Daoist Cold Mirror. I was careless. There are countless strange arts in the Myriad Heavens and Realms. How can I only be wary of the Seamless Massacre Dao?" Although he had always been cautious, he had yet to prove his Dao as a Golden Immortal. There were still times when he made careless mistakes. He had to take this as a warning in the future.
Making mistakes was not scary, as he still had a trump card to save his life. What was scary was making the same mistake again and again. If that happened, even a Dao Reunion Golden Immortal would not be able to escape death.
After a pause, Shi Xuan said, "Daoist Cold Mirror, please make a trip with your clone. The effect of the Karmic Secret Treasure is not over yet. You can only be free after you retrieve it."
"Okay." The Lord Of Heaven quickly retrieved the black and white Taoist altar, took out the straw doll inside, and broke the hemp rope, allowing Shi Xuan to regain his freedom.
Shi Xuan stood up and interrupted Perfected Lord Jinhe. He smiled and told him what happened just now. As for the process of the battle, it was not convenient for him to tell others.
Even with the cultivation of the Three Tribulations Lord Of Heaven, Perfected Lord Jinhe's face could not help but turn green and black. He could not suppress the shock and anger in his heart. No wonder most of the fellow Daoists he contacted in the past had died. He had actually become a bait for his enemies to collect the Massacre Dao!
"Lao Dao came here rashly and almost killed you. I'm very sorry, but I can't express it in words. I can only make a Karma Oath. If Lao Dao is of use to you in the future, Lao Dao will not be afraid of death."
True Lord Jinhe bowed deeply. Now that something like this had happened, even if Shi Xuan joined forces with Heavenly Monarch Cold Mirror to kill him, it would be reasonable, and he couldn't blame anyone else. However, Shi Xuan's attitude showed that he was broad-minded, so how could he not express it?
After sending off Perfected Lord Jinhe, the Lord Of Heaven came to Shi Xuan's small building. He handed the black and White Light Taoist altar to Shi Xuan and said with a smile, "This Eighth Rank Secret Treasure seems to be disturbed by time. Its effect is not over yet."
Shi Xuan took it and carefully sensed it. "There is still a lot of Eighth Rank Karma Power left. It's just that the mysterious object that carried it suffered a backlash and broke a little. Obviously, it can't be used again."
Meng Nishang looked at the Taoist altar and pondered for a moment. Then, she said coldly, "Shi Xuan, don't you have a Karma Celestial Technique? Can you refine this Karma Power and some of the mysterious objects into the Celestial Technique? "
"I don't have such a technique. It seems that I'll have to trouble Senior Meng to go to The Great World and see if you can exchange for it."
Shi Shuan's heart was moved by Meng Nishang's words. If he could refine it, his Karma Pill Book would be able to become a pseudo transcending realm. That way, even if he went through the third Heaven's Blight and didn't cultivate his other celestial techniques, it would still be useful.
Although the first wisp of Yin and Yang when the Boundless World was created had been engraved by Shi Xuan on his Primordial Spirit according to the Yin and Yang Dao Destruction Sword Technique, and the Wind Origin had to be exchanged for that object, he was not afraid of not being able to exchange for it.
…
In the sky of a gloomy world, there was a floating island with green lotus flowers. It was only about 100 feet wide.
There were several black-robed cultivators sitting cross-legged on the island. Their faces were vague and their auras were unstable. Originally, they were all sitting with their eyes closed and did not say a word. But suddenly, a tall and thin black-robed cultivator opened his eyes and said with some surprise, "Wen Dai is completely dead."
"Although Wen Dai was not the Lord Of Heaven at the peak of the Three Tribulations, he had the Soul Extracting Altar, an eighth-rank secret treasure you gave him. How could Shi Xuan kill him?" The cultivator with an ordinary figure and a vague face was also slightly surprised.
The tall and thin black-robed cultivator shook his head. "The specific process is related to what happened in the Ice and Snow Cold Light Domain, and Shi Xuan has a strange treasure that can hide the secrets of heaven. It is difficult for me to calculate the specific process. I only know that he died under the Freezing Divine Light of Myriad Worlds."
"Should we continue to send more people?" Another round-robed cultivator asked.
The tall and thin black-robed cultivator said without hesitation, "No hurry. If we don't figure out how Wen Dai died, the other Three Tribulations Lord Of Heaven will probably suspect that I need to sublimate the Slaughter Manifestation of Avici and deliberately sent them to die. After all, our Slaughter Path is not as cohesive as a normal sect. Moreover, those old enemies must have already begun to contact Shi Xuan. Let's wait a little longer. "
The other Lord Of Heaven nodded in agreement, but none of them proposed to personally deal with Shi Xuan. After all, it was rumored that Shi Xuan had a close relationship with the Five Elements Sect. Without other evidence, they dared not to take that step. Sending a Three Tribulations Lord Of Heaven was already the limit.
Only the eyes of the ordinary and simple old man flickered slightly.
…
"… Hui Xuanzi bowed his head." Shi Xuan recited a strange light yellow talisman in his hand. The general content was that if Shi Xuan encountered someone of the Slaughter Path, he should use his own magic power to burn this talisman, and the person would directly teleport over or attack from across realms.
The Hanjing Lord Of Heaven smiled and said, "The first four Tribulations Lord Of Heaven to find me is indeed him."
Hui Xuanzi's Daoist title was ordinary, and many cultivators used it as a title. However, this person was the famous four Tribulations Lord Of Heaven in the Tong Tian Realm. He was a demonic beast, and his only bloodline descendant died in the hands of the Slaughter Path.
Ten days after True Lord Jinhe left, Hui Xuanzi, who was in the Tong Tian Realm, used a secret method to send the talisman to Meng Nishang and handed it over to Shi Xuan.
"But we can't rely on this too much," Meng Nishang said lightly.
Shi Xuan nodded in agreement. Even if these four Tribulations Lord Of Heaven had a blood feud with the Slaughter Path, to them, the most important thing was still their own cultivation, as well as the ethereal and unpredictable decline of their Daoist Heart. It was good enough that they could focus on waiting for 80 to 100 years. If they encountered someone of the Slaughter Path in the future, it was likely that they would be in some other situation and unable to escape.
With the cultivation of a Celestial Immortal's Daoist Heart, they would not put all their hopes on their reinforcements. Moreover, if things were to happen in a hurry, they would also need a chance to burn the talisman.
"It'll be fine as long as we can buy some time. Moreover, these four Tribulations Lord Of Heaven should have some mysterious things that we can exchange with them." Shi Xuan said slowly, "One can only be a thief for a thousand days, but not guard against thieves for a thousand days. We need to create an opportunity to counterattack the Slaughter Path."
In this tribulation, Shi Xuan would not wait passively and worriedly for others to attack and kill him!
In the following half a year, through various secret channels, Shi Xuan received many good intentions and plans from the four Tribulations Lord Of Heaven and the three Tribulations Lord Of Heaven, such as asking Shi Xuan to go out now and use himself as bait, etc. But Shi Xuan temporarily rejected them. However, Shi Xuan got the thing he needed from them, and the method of refining the power of the Secret Treasure of Cause and Effect was also exchanged from The Great World.
In the past half a year, the Slaughter Path had disappeared without a trace, and in addition, it had attracted the attention of many four Tribulations and three Tribulations Lord Of Heaven. Presumably, they would not act rashly in the next hundred years or so. Otherwise, if they were captured on the spot, with the four Tribulations Lord Of Heaven's ability to attack across the Vast Thousand Worlds, those below the four Tribulations Lord Of Heaven of the Slaughter Path would definitely suffer heavy casualties.
Therefore, Shi Xuan bade farewell from the Guang Han Sect and returned to Penglai, where he secluded himself to refine the half-useless Secret Treasure of Cause and extrapolate something.
…
Sixty years later, in the Phecda Peak of Penglai, Shi Xuan's Cave Abode.
In the quiet room, countless black and white characters danced above Shi Xuan's hands and began to take shape.
A stone with black and white and Yin and Yang flowing was placed in front of Shi Xuan. It was locked on by his eyes with black and white Eight Trigrams, and the Eight Trigrams quickly evolved.
Suddenly, Green Wolf activated the sound-transmitting restriction left by Shi Xuan at the door of the quiet room. "Master, Shen Chenxi, the Shen Zhenjun that you specially ordered, is here to visit."
Shi Xuan nodded and put away the object that was about to take shape. It looked like a scroll, and there were a few characters of the Dao Seed on the cover. Most of them were not clear, and only one word could barely be seen: "Record".
"Invite Shen Zhenjun to my cave abode." Shi Xuan stood up and opened the door of the quiet room. At the same time, he contacted the Hanjing Lord Of Heaven.
