Except for the martial arts sects and aristocratic families like the Gao family of Changle, Mengqi knew nothing about the sects and families of the North Zhou Dynasty. He had never heard of the school and could only answer perfunctorily. He thought of familiar phrases like "Mind Nothing Beyond the Heart" and "Knowing and Doing as One", and wondered if there was a gap between the current Dharmakaya and the two Confucian Saints in terms of realm.
Gao Lan took two steps and suddenly made a sound of surprise.
Being on the Dragon Platform and stepping on the ancient path, Mengqi had a surreal feeling. He had not even opened the Hidden Latch between his eyebrows, but he was involved in the battle for the Emperor's Sword. If he had not experienced Zhenwu's Decoy Grave and The Buddha's Palm, he would probably still be muddle-headed. Even so, he was always on tenterhooks, afraid that demons and evil spirits would jump out.
The evil spirits that could survive on the Dragon Platform of the Human Emperor were probably earth-shattering. Even with Gao Lan by his side, Mengqi did not feel at ease. This was not a task like the Dominator's, where the team's limit would not be exceeded. It was out of control, and all kinds of accidents could happen. Therefore, when he heard Gao Lan's sound of surprise, Mengqi was shocked. He held his saber in front of him and looked around vigilantly, but there was no enemy attacking.
"What are you afraid of? If I can't handle it, you won't be able to survive even if you have ten lives. "Gao Lan gloated." I'm just surprised that the Wang family's Old Devil has been here. "
"The Wang family's Old Devil?" Following Gao Lan's finger, Mengqi found that the place where he took two more steps than the Saint of Benevolence had a sense of difficulty. After carefully tasting it, he realized that there was an aura that was hidden from the world. "Is it the ancestor of the Wang family from Jiangdong?"
Gao Lan nodded, holding the True Emperor Seal with one hand behind his back. He took another step, "It's the Wang family's Old Devil who was known as the Sage of Arithmetic in the Middle Ages."
"He went further than the Saint of Benevolence and the Saint of Heart." Mengqi sighed.
Gao Lan spat in contempt. "He's just relying on the Dao of Algebra to deceive the mysteries of heaven and play tricks, which is why he can take two more steps. His true realm should be about the same."
"He dislikes charlatans as much as I do …" Mengqi immediately felt that he was a good friend and agreed repeatedly.
After taking a few steps forward, the heavy stone door was already right in front of him. Purple lightning crackled around the door, giving off a strong and fierce feeling.
"The Conqueror?" Mengqi guessed.
There were only a handful of cultivators who had reached this level in the Thunder Cultivation Method, and the ancient Thunder God should have already fallen when the Human Sovereign suppressed the world.
Gao Lan stared at Zi Lei. "Yes, it's just a pity that we were separated by so much time that we couldn't meet The Conqueror's Six Slashes and Nine Annihilations at Heavenly Nights."
His tone was filled with fighting spirit.
Provoked by his tone, Mengqi also had a similar feeling. In the future, he would integrate what he had learned and create his own The Conqueror's Six Slashes!
As the two got closer, the purple lightning crackled even louder. It seemed to be baring its fangs and brandishing its claws, as if it was repelling anyone who got close.
However, it was ultimately just a trace left behind by the Human Sovereign's Ancient Path and had no power. Gao Lan and Mengqi leaped over it one after another.
Suddenly, they stopped at the same time because a monk was sitting cross-legged beside the purple lightning!
He wore a gray frock and his face couldn't be seen clearly. His body was thin and had a glazed luster. It was dark gold, revealing a sense of tranquility, solemnity, freedom, and freedom.
"Breath …" Gao Lan blew a breath and his golden body swayed. It was illusory and contained no gist of Gist of Trueness.
"Who is this monk? How can he be on par with The Conqueror? There weren't many who achieved the Buddhahood in the Middle Ages. Could he be the Bhaisajyaguru? No, it doesn't feel like it. "Gao Lan pondered about the monk's origin.
Mengqi was also guessing and sensing the characteristics of the aura of the golden body.
Suddenly, he heard a long, drawn-out sigh in his ears.
"I see."
"Ananda?" Mengqi was shocked and blurted out.
After the Human Sovereign, he still showed signs of activity!
"Ananda? The Grand Arhat could barely do it … "Gao Lan frowned and said," But with the passing of the Demonic Sage, the demon race retreated to the Heavenly Sea Source and other places, and Ananda disappeared without a trace. I didn't expect him to appear after the death of the Human Sovereign … "
Mengqi took a deep breath. With Gao Lan by his side, he approached the golden body formed by the illusory breath and tried to investigate further to find clues and get rid of Ananda's "entanglement".
Unfortunately, like the purple lightning, this was only a trace left by the Human Sovereign's Ancient Path. Except for the characteristics, there was no real gain.
"You're quite interested in this monk …" Gao Lan didn't know what bladesmanship Mengqi was good at or which sect he came from. "Seeing that you have a long blade of thunder, I thought you paid more attention to The Conqueror."
Mengqi couldn't explain too much. He could only smile bitterly and said, "I've learned two styles of Ananda's Oath-breaking Bladesmanship."
Gao Lan nodded gently and didn't ask any more questions. His mind was no longer in this aspect. He stretched out his left hand from behind and pressed it on the ancient stone door in front of him. He pushed hard.
The stone door opened heavily but silently. A golden sea of fire jumped out from Mengqi's eyes.
The flames rose and turned into snakes and phoenixes from time to time. The outer layer was golden yellow, but the deeper he went, the closer it was to blue and white. Meng Qi couldn't see the deeper part of the flames because his sight had been burned away.
"Even if the Grand Sun falls, it's nothing more than this." Gao Lan sighed seriously, which was rare.
Only then did Mengqi get rid of the burning sight and the feeling of his Vital Spirit. He withdrew his gaze and looked around.
The periphery of the sea of fire was covered with strange dark gray stones, which formed an arc-shaped platform. Jade-colored steps stretched across the sky and went deep into the sea of fire, nowhere to be found.
Clang, clang, clang! The distant sound of metal clashing echoed around.
Apart from that, there were also shouts of unwillingness, unwillingness to yield, and vows to fight for a way out. Clang, clang, clang!
Suddenly, Mengqi's blood was boiling. He seemed to have returned to the last years of ancient times, when swords were forged, blades were sharpened, thistles and thorns were cut, and demons were slain. Every inch of the road was worth an inch of blood!
"At the end of the steps is the place where the Human Emperor forged his sword." Gao Lan showed off his knowledge. "The Human Emperor's Sword was not considered a Peerless Heavenly Weapon in the beginning. However, as the Human Tribe and other oppressed creatures were polished by the undying faith of generations after generations, and as the Demon Kings, Demon Gods, and Evil Saints were slain by the sword, and their blood dyed the sword, it slowly improved and finally reached the peak together with the Human Emperor!"
As he spoke, he led Mengqi to the jade-colored steps. When they were near, he suddenly took a breath. "The Saint Emperor has been here, and so has the Devil Buddha."
Mengqi couldn't sense anything and could only choose to believe Gao Lan's words.
The Saint Emperor, Qi, was a powerful human who succeeded the throne after the Human Emperor passed away. Later generations said that he was not inferior to the Bhaisajyaguru who had not yet reached Nirvana. However, the reason why he could reach here was mostly due to the skills of the Human Tribe or the corresponding treasures.
As for the Devil Buddha, he was an existence that could provoke the Gautama Buddha.
"It seems that the Devil Buddha wanted to destroy the Dragon Platform because he didn't get anything after breaking in," Mengqi guessed.
Gao Lan clicked his tongue. "Maybe he wanted to force the Human Emperor's Sword out but failed. Instead, the Dragon Platform went into hiding and disappeared until the end of the Kang Dynasty."
He looked at the jade-colored steps and his expression became solemn. "Rumor has it that there are real fire dragons and ancient Golden Crows in the depths of the sea of fire. It's extremely dangerous. You wait here, I'll go deeper."
Mengqi was still a mortal, so he really didn't dare to provoke the mythical creatures. He nodded in agreement and searched around the jade-colored steps to see if there were any additional gains.
Gao Lan stepped on the steps and walked forward slowly. As he walked, Mengqi found that his figure began to turn illusory, as if it was caused by the high temperature.
About halfway there, he was surrounded by white mist and the lights of tens of thousands of homes lit up inside. He had no choice but to stop. Then, he sat down cross-legged and held the True Emperor Seal in his hand. He closed his eyes and calmed his mind, activating the treasure. He used the aura contained in the seal and his own human path techniques as bait to search for the Human Sovereign Sword.
Since several groups of people had come before and after, everything outside the jade-colored steps had been swept clean. Mengqi had no choice but to turn his attention to the strange dark gray stones.
"They can resist the sea of fire, so they're definitely not ordinary …" Mengqi cared about his image and looked at Gao Lan first. After seeing that he was focused on searching, he squatted down and chopped with his palm, dug with his hand, and chopped with his knife. He spent a lot of effort but still couldn't move a small piece.
"It's really extraordinary … When I reach the Exterior, I'll ask Zhao Laowu to come and explore together. I don't believe I can't move a piece!" He could only comfort himself like this. He sat cross-legged and regulated his Qi-circulation to recover.
After an unknown period of time, Gao Lan said dejectedly, "Am I not the destined owner of the Human Emperor's Sword?"
He tried for a long time, but the entire sea of fire was no different from before.
"He seems to think that this trip will be a piece of cake …" Mengqi wiped the cold sweat that didn't exist.
He had a rather strange image of Gao Lan in his mind. Gao Lan was not like other masters who always hid their emotions and were extremely shrewd. Instead, he exposed his temperament like a child or a madman.
"Well, maybe I'm not in a good state today. I'll try again tomorrow." Gao Lan had convinced himself. He got up and walked down the jade-colored steps.
When he was about to reach the end of the stairs, he suddenly squatted down and reached into the sea of fire to grab two things. One was a long and thin strip, and the other was full of lumps. Both of them were iron-black, as if they had been smelted into scrap.
"Damn! I was surprised for nothing. I thought the Human Emperor's Sword had come to me! "Gao Lan's disappointment was obvious.
Mengqi was afraid that he would lose control and quickly said, "How bad can the things that can appear in the Dragon Platform be? Brother Gao, they didn't melt in the sea of fire. How can they be ordinary? "
Gao Lan took a deep breath. "It makes sense. Since I found it by chance, it is also a kind of cause and effect. Maybe there are clues about the Human Emperor's Sword."
"That?" Mengqi was puzzled.
Gao Lan pointed at the strip. "That."
"I can't see any clues, so it's strange."
"This should be the leftover material for refining the Human Emperor's Sword. Consider it as a reward for lending me the True Emperor Seal." Gao Lan threw the lumps of iron to Mengqi generously and generously.
Mengqi reached out and caught it. It was a small lump, but it was twice as heavy as Heaven Inflicted Pain.
"The leftover material … is also good!" The unexpected wealth made Mengqi very happy.
After putting away the "iron" lump, he saw that Gao Lan was about to leave, so he whispered, "Brother Gao, come back tomorrow?"
"Yes!" Gao Lan held the "iron" strip and nodded heavily.
