Outside the Lanruo Temple, the forest was scorched, and the night wind was blowing. It was cold and dark.
Meng Qi stood beside the urn with his hands clasped behind his back. He restrained his breath and his eyes became ordinary. He hid the bright starlight and the inexplicable feeling of being high and mighty. He became like an ordinary Jianghu traveler.
But as Yan Chixia and the Foolish Monk returned one after another and confirmed Mengqi's words with their own experience, the way people looked at the Guru of the Sect of the Ether completely changed.
He could really perceive the time flow and send people through the barrier of heaven and earth to another world. He was not a god, but he was at least as powerful as a god!
Such means and ability were enough to prove his martial arts cultivation. The Ether Sky was dead, and the Yellow Sky was rising. There was one more Great Guru in the world, and he might even be better than them!
Even though Mengqi did not deliberately show his momentum at this moment, he still made them feel like they were facing a god. They only felt that he had returned to his original nature and was unpredictable.
"Amitabha. This is a serious matter. After I eliminate the crack of the Nine Nether, please follow me to the Taoist Master's Mansion," the Foolish Monk opened his eyes, which were as clear as glass.
If the Female Monarch wanted to ally with the Witch of the Black Mountain, they had to persuade the Taoist Master and the three of them to join hands.
The Foolish Monk felt that the Guru of the Sect of the Ether, Mengqi, was not stronger than himself. But the state of the Yellow Sky Rising was quite mysterious. He could see all kinds of truths, so he could see what others could not see and hear what others could not hear. He discovered the secret behind the time flow and used the connection to reverse it.
He really has great wisdom and perseverance to be able to push the Divine Conjuration of Ether to an unprecedented state … The Foolish Monk secretly praised.
Mengqi laughed and slowly turned around. He followed the Foolish Monk to the gap of the Nine Serenities.
The two flashed and disappeared. Only their voices echoed in the heart of the Envoy of the Left, Sun Junlin,
"This matter is not something you can handle. Go back to the sect and inform the Right Emissary and the scattered people. Arrange for the disciples to temporarily lay low and hide in order to prevent the revenge of the Witch of the Black Mountain."
Seeing the two Great Gurus leaving together, Yan Chixia and the others felt the seriousness of the situation and felt a little lucky: God bless the common people. The Guru of the Sect of the Ether pushed the Divine Conjuration of Ether to a level that only existed in the imagination of the past and became the fifth Great Guru. The three of them together were enough to suppress the Female Monarch and the Witch of the Black Mountain.
"The blue sky has died, the yellow sky shall rise …" Sun Junlin muttered to himself, and his thoughts wandered. If there was a day when he could reach the realm of the Sect Master, where time could flow backwards without erasing his memories, and where the world of heaven and earth couldn't obstruct his Primordial Spirit, then he would truly be willing to die!
What were Godfiends? This was a living Fiendgod!
Du Qingqing snapped out of her daze and turned to look at Chixia, "Hero Yan, what is the world that Brother Chong resides in?"
She couldn't go there for the time being, so she could only inquire about the details to comfort her.
Yan Chixia sank into his memories. After a long time, he said, "Very interesting …"
…
The Celestial Master's Mansion was filled with roaring dragons and roaring tigers.
Qin Shuanglian and Shi Tiangao were standing in the main hall, not daring to appreciate the beautiful scenery outside. They calmed down and waited for the Celestial Master to summon them.
He was one of the most powerful and influential bigwigs in this world. Such bigwigs could be counted with one hand, and he was respectfully called "Great Guru" by the world. Qin Shuanglian and Shi Tiangao couldn't help but feel excited to be summoned by the Celestial Master.
They were Samsara travelers who had experienced a Death Task. Compared to ordinary Exterior experts, they could be said to be experienced and knowledgeable. However, even so, they had never seen a Great Grandmaster before. Even in the background of the task, there were very few of them. After all, with their current strength, it was not yet time for them to meet a Great Grandmaster or an expert of similar realm.
Therefore, the fact that they were about to meet a real Great Guru made their imagination run wild. Would there be any adventure? Would there be some relatively simple tasks with rich rewards?
For such a bigwig, they would benefit a lot even if he just gave them a few pointers! Qin Shuanglian's heartbeat quickened slightly. She slowly exhaled and secretly sent a message to Shi Tiangao, "As long as we can get on the good side of the Celestial Master's Mansion, our main task will almost be completed. But don't accept any random task or open any side task. Even if the Celestial Master entrusted us with a rich reward, we have to think about it calmly and weigh the degree of danger."
As the team leader, she tried her best to restrain her greed.
Shi Tiangao was of medium build, but he gave people a heavy feeling. He nodded and said, "We should supervise each other. We can't be blinded by greed."
Speaking of this, he sighed and said, "I didn't expect that our encounter in the ghost village would attract the attention of the Celestial Master's Mansion. Now we can ride on their coattails."
Qin Shuanglian frowned and said, "I always feel that there is a qualitative leap in the danger of the ghost village, as if there is a series of changes. That's why the Celestial Master's Mansion noticed it. Could it be that someone secretly did something?"
"You suspect that someone among them opened side tasks?" Shi Tiangao understood what she meant.
Qin Shuanglian did not speak for a long time. After a long time, she sighed and said, "Our main task doesn't need to involve the Celestial Master's Mansion …"
This kind of thing could happen once or twice, but not thrice. They had to find out who did it as soon as possible. If there was a team member who acted on his own and did not listen to the instructions, and risked the lives of the whole team, they had to be resolute!
"Forget it. Let's not think about these things for the time being. After this task, you and I will step into the Exterior Realm. We will break out of the cocoon and become butterflies. We will no longer be ordinary people, "Shi Tiangao said," At that time, we can kill more powerful demons. We don't have to watch our family members die in battle and our homes get destroyed. "
They were born in a world shrouded in the shadow of the Nine Serenities. The unstable cracks of the Nine Serenities were not rare. Although the powerful ones could not get out of the cracks, the demons always appeared. Each wave was stronger than the previous one. Each wave would destroy a large number of cities and villages. Tens of millions of people died tragically, and more people lost their homes. However, such a wave of demons would never end. They could only struggle for a peaceful period. Sometimes it would last for 20 or 30 years, and sometimes it would even last for seven or eight years. Gloominess, depression, and faint despair were the main colors in their eyes.
Qin Shuanglian lowered her eyes to hide her sadness. She clenched her right fist quietly. Thanks to the Dominator of Samsara in Six Realms, they had a glimmer of hope. As long as they completed the task and improved themselves, they would have the possibility to eliminate the wave of demons!
As far as she knew, the Great Guru of this world had closed several cracks of the Nine Serenities. If one day she could reach such a terrifying level, she would be able to end that bloody and desperate history with her own hands!
As for the death in the Samsara task, it was better than being killed by the demons without any hope or resistance!
At this time, a little Taoist came out from the back hall and invited them to see the Taoist Master.
The two immediately got rid of their distracting thoughts and followed the little Taoist into the back hall. The decoration here was very simple. A cloud bed, an elixir furnace, a bookshelf, a desk, and a treasure pavilion formed the living quarters of a big shot.
Beside the cloud bed, a delicate copper furnace was burning sandalwood incense. The smoke curled up and hovered nearby. The Taoist Master was sitting on the cloud bed. His face was blurred as if it was shrouded by the smoke. They could not tell whether he was old or young, beautiful or ugly. However, there was a sense of Taoist Rhyme and majesty in the ethereal air. The area around him seemed to have evolved into a transcendent place surrounded by fresh air.
Qin Shuanglian and Shi Tiangao involuntarily bowed their heads and saluted.
The person in front of them was indeed a big shot, one that was far beyond their imagination!
The Taoist Master's voice was also faint. He asked a few questions about the ghost village. Qin Shuanglian answered them truthfully and Shi Tiangao added some information.
Suddenly, the Taoist Master stopped asking questions and raised his head to look outside. Their hearts skipped a beat and they turned back to look at the entrance, only to see a monk and a layman walking in together. The monk was dressed in a gray robe and had a kind countenance. His eyes were tightly shut and his surroundings were filled with pale colored glaze, crystal clear and pure. The layman was dressed in a green robe and had a handsome face. His eyes were deep and serene as if they were hiding the dust accumulated over the years. His body was empty as if there was nothing but also as if it contained everything in the world.
The Qi dynamic of the two did not collide with each other. It was hard to tell who was stronger.
Such momentum and such grace were actually comparable to the Taoist Master! Qin Shuanglian and Shi Tiangao were both amazed and guessed,
"Is he also a Great Guru?"
"The monk should be the Foolish Monk. Who is the man in the green robe? It can't be the Female Monarch or the Witch of the Black Mountain … "
If it were others, they might guess that a powerful man had recently made a breakthrough. However, as Samsara travelers, Qin Shuanglian and Shi Tiangao first thought,
"Another Samsara traveler?"
"A Samsara traveler who is comparable to a Great Guru?"
"A senior Samsara traveler who has gone through more than three Death Tasks?"
They held their breath subconsciously for fear of disturbing the other party. This kind of Samsara traveler was more than just terrifying! Most of them had gone through the legendary test of the immortals and obtained unimaginable adventures!
"Come again tomorrow," the Taoist Master said to Qin Shuanglian and Shi Tiangao.
The two hurriedly left and walked out of the Taoist Master Hall in silence. Then they looked at each other and communicated in shock and fear,
"If he is really a Samsara traveler, then he is the most powerful Samsara traveler I have ever seen!"
"Or he may be a powerful man who has recently made a breakthrough in this world …"
As they were talking, they returned to the guest house. They saw their teammate in a crimson dress came out and said anxiously, "Sister Qin, Fang Zhidong suddenly fainted and is unconscious!"
"What?" Qin Shuanglian immediately forgot about the senior Samsara traveler.
…
In the Taoist Master Hall, Mengqi and the Foolish Monk told the whole story to the Taoist Master.
The Taoist Master stroked his beard and did not speak for a long time. It was a pleasant surprise that the Foolish Monk, a neutral person, was willing to help him deal with the Female Monarch. Not to mention that the Foolish Monk had brought another Great Guru with him. However, the things they told him were beyond his imagination. They were so exaggerated that no one dared to believe them. Even if a monk did not lie, others would suspect that he was also cheated.
Seeing this, Mengqi said, "No one knows when the special device will be repaired. So we must act as soon as possible. We need to deal with the Female Monarch and the Witch of the Black Mountain and look for the mysterious fragment at the same time. Otherwise, if someone changes the law of heaven and earth and manipulates the flow of time, the Female Monarch and the others will be invincible. We can't fight them together."
"If you don't believe me, I can send your Primordial Spirit to that world to find out."
…
"Ah Qiu!" Nangong Chong woke up from his dream.
Just now, he dreamt that someone was sent by the Guru of the Sect of the Ether. He dreamt that the Guru of the Sect of the Ether possessed him to look for the mysterious fragment.
