Various images of nine-headed birds were embedded in the door, emitting a mysterious and obscure luster as if they were embedded in the world, boundless and barbaric.
Jiu Li approached the stone door with a colorful feather fan in her hand. The fan was black and yellow, black and white intertwined, purple and noble, white and elegant, and watery, intertwined to form a beautiful but not gaudy, brilliant but not thorny pattern of the Five Virtues. It was sacred and solemn.
This was the Five Virtues Heaven and Earth Fan refined from the feathers of the Great Demon Gods of the Phoenix Clan. It was even mixed with legendary materials. Although it did not become a peerless weapon, it was still an outstanding existence among the Divine Immortal level weapons.
Peerless weapons and magic treasures were always rare. Even if the Phoenix Clan was inherited from the Demon Saints and accumulated for more than ten thousand years, there were only a few of them. If Jiu Li were to be hastily given it, everyone knew that she must be carrying some other heavy responsibility, and the purpose of sending her here would be lost.
The patterns of the Five Virtues Heaven and Earth Fan lit up one after another, and finally rippled with watery color. A hazy book condensed on top of Jiu Li's head, emitting rays of clear light.
Then, Jiu Li pushed her right hand forward, calmly activating the All Heaven Blood Evil Formation on the door.
Suddenly, the door was suffused with the color of ancient blood, and the stench of blood filled the air, making people nauseous and dizzy.
Streaks of scarlet light transformed into baleful arrows that shot toward Jiu Li like a bloody cloth that enveloped heaven and earth.
Puff! Puff!
Puff! Before the swords of blood could touch Jiu Li, they deviated from the direction and penetrated far into the cold and dark universe, only stirring up ripples of the watery light.
The Divine Virtue moistens everything, and no magic can stain it!
At the same time, Ao Qin, Gu Yue, and the Golden Scale Fairy stood in a formation of heaven, earth, and human. Each of them took out the treasures given by their elders, guarding against any changes in the formation and watching out for enemies that might be lurking around.
Although they were proud and arrogant, they were not incompetent, and they did things appropriately.
Only then did He Mu see the magic treasures in their hands. Ao Qin carried a crystal clear ice sword surrounded by cold air. The inside of the sword was clear, and the edges reflected light, glowing with a strange splendor. It was as beautiful as a dream, but it could also disturb the enemy's Primordial Spirit and real spirit.
Gu Yue's two hands each held a copper ring. They had a strange color and luster, as if they were covered in green rust. They actually possessed the exact opposite feelings of heaviness and lightness at the same time. Meanwhile, a soft whip coiled around the Golden-Scaled Fairy's body. It was inlaid with pieces of golden fish scales. The water rippled from time to time, and the light was fine and dazzling.
After looking around, He Mu saw that Jiu Li had completely activated the Baleful Formation of Heaven and the red color was like a huge wave surging in the space. He silently calculated the changes, deduced the opportunity, and suddenly slashed the Celestial Parting Sword in his hand.
Red was fire, green was wood, vigorous and entangled. Yellow was earth, heavy and heavy. White was metal, sharp and strong. Black was water, continuous and scouring. The five elements of sword light intertwined into one, supporting each other, harmonious as one.
As the successor of Mengqi's swordcraft, He Mu's sword fully displayed the Gist of Trueness of Heaven Interception and Fairy Slaying!
One sword could break the sky, one could split the earth!
The sword light was so bright that Ao Qin, the Golden Scale Fairy, and the others who were protected by the magic treasures felt a stinging pain on their faces. The five colors of red, green, yellow, white, and black flowed, piercing through the Evil Blood and slashed at the bottom left of the door of the cave, next to the pattern of the nine-headed bird.
Clang!
The stone door let out a sound of metal clashing. The Evil Blood retracted, the red color faded, and suddenly collapsed.
The inhibition kept emitting different colors of light, and finally could not take shape anymore. The light receded like the tide, and the door slowly opened inwards with a heavy posture.
"What a strong swordcraft …" Ao Qin, Gu Yue, and the Golden Scale Fairy were not inexperienced people, and they could not help but sigh.
"This Yue Luo not only recognizes the Primordial Characters, but also has such a strong swordcraft. Is he really as virtuous and lucky as Jiu Li said?"
Jiu Li nodded slightly, looking a little happy, as if she was very satisfied with her own judgment.
As the door slowly opened, everyone's eyes focused on it again. After a while, the scene inside was completely exposed to their vision.
It was an ancient and boundless wasteland. The earth was dry and cracked, and cracks could be seen everywhere. High up in the sky, there were nine Grand Suns lined up in a row. They were red and fiery, and the heat waves were rolling, dazzling.
Nine Suns in the sky, Yang Extreme Against Evil!
"What a scene from the Primordial Era …" the cold and taciturn Gu Yue glanced at He Mu, as if he was talking to himself.
In this regard, Ao Qin was silent. Although he could not see the shadow of the Primordial Immortal World, the characteristics of the Primordial Era were clear. Yue Luo's interpretation of the ancient characters on the door was at least half correct, and this was already quite extraordinary. Without the direct understanding of the Legendary Realm, one could only rely on one's own accumulation. Not to mention the difficulty of collecting the materials, it would be very difficult to improve one's strength and realm at the lower levels.
But this was not reflected in Yue Luo …
Either he happened to have an excellent talent in this area, or he had obtained the relevant classics.
Jiu Li looked at He Mu and nodded approvingly. Then she frowned slightly and said, "The strength and realm of the Nine-headed Great Sage are beyond our expectations. He can change the rules of heaven and earth of the abode with a word, and build a formation that is almost immortal. Why is it only used to maintain the environment of the Primordial Era?"
This was also He Mu's question.
After discussing for a while, they still had no clue. Ao Qin did not want to waste time, so he suggested to go deeper while looking for clues.
Their respective Heavenly Weapons and Celestial Weapons shone brightly, protecting them through the door and stepping into the Primordial Era. The scorching heat hit them in the face. Even with layers of defense, He Mu had the illusion that his hair was burning. The power of the Nine Suns was evident, and the higher they went, the more terrifying it became, as it could directly ignite things!
Because of this, they all lowered the conveyance light, only a few hundred feet above the ground. The dry and cracked marks could be clearly seen, and some even divided into canyons, so deep that the bottom could not be seen.
Suddenly, a horrible breath rushed out from the canyons, shaking the heat waves in the sky. He Mu's Primordial Spirit trembled as if it was frozen. If it was not for the Sword Qi from the hilt of the Celestial Parting Sword, which pierced his soul, he would not have been able to control the Heavenly Weapon and fell to the ground.
The green gale around Gu Yue's body dissipated, and the layers of waves that surrounded the Golden-Scaled Fairy turned into rain and fell. Ao Qin, who was among the clouds, turned pale and almost lost the Sword of Ice Soul in his hand. Only Jiu Li, who was enveloped by the holy light of water, remained motionless and unaffected, but her expression had changed.
From the canyons came a huge and horrible giant snake, with eight heads and eight tails, filling the sky, surrounded by clouds and rain. Its eyes were bright red, and its breath was majestic, far beyond the level of the Demon King.
"The Primordial Demon Fairy that is close to the Legendary Realm …" Jiu Li's voice was trembling.
Didn't they say that only the Demon King and above had the prohibition?
The difference was more than a hundred times!
Could it be that he could rely on the title of the descendant of the Demon Sage to intimidate others?
He Mu was also shocked and frightened, as he directly encountered the Primordial Demon Fairy that was close to the Legendary Realm, and it made him think that he would die here today. But he still managed to keep a calm mind, not only because of the harvest of so many years of experience, but also because of his trust in his Master.
His Master would never point him to a dead end!
With his realm, his Direct Knowledge, and his strength as the unique Principles of Karma, he would definitely be able to predict whether or not there would be a dead end on this long journey!
Calmness begets calmness, and calmness begets wisdom. After a few thoughts, He Mu noticed that something was wrong.
The horrifying giant snake with eight heads and eight tails had a cruel and bloodthirsty look in its eyes, devoid of intelligence. Moreover, it showed no hostility towards Jiu Li, but its attitude towards He Mu, Ao Qin, and the others was hesitant, as if it wanted to bite but felt that it shouldn't. Therefore, it did not attack immediately, giving He Mu time to think.
Calmness begets wisdom, and wisdom begets wisdom. He Mu had a flash of inspiration, and immediately sent a message to Jiu Li.
"Cover everyone with the Holy Virtue Aqua Light!"
"That giant snake doesn't have any intelligence, and acts based on its beastly instincts. It feels close to the Holy Virtue Aqua Light, and it doesn't want to be hostile!"
Jiu Li didn't have time to think. Following He Mu's words, she spread the Holy Virtue Aqua Light, and the clear light rippled, covering Ao Qin, the other demons, and He Mu. Instantly, the giant snake shook its eight heads, slowly retreated into the depths of the canyons, and disappeared.
"Mr. Yueluo, your judgment is very accurate." Jiu Li came back to her senses and praised He Mu happily.
He Mu let out a long sigh. "Actually, I'm not sure. If I have an idea, I'll try it out. It's like a blind cat bumping into a dead mouse."
His humble and humorous words made Jiu Li and the Golden Scale Fairy laugh, and Ao Qin and Gu Yue's impression of him improved. At least at this moment, he didn't have the arrogance to look down on them and other demons.
"Even such a powerful Monster Fairy doesn't have any intelligence, which shows that there are many strange things about this place. I'm afraid that the Monster Fairies in this Primitive World haven't opened the Light of Wisdom, and can only rely on the Holy Virtue to bluff their way through." Jiu Li pondered and made a judgment. Just now, she was really scared out of her wits. Fortunately, the result was not bad, and it was in line with her mother's words that the danger was around the Monster King.
He Mu nodded in agreement, also trusting his Master. The group continued to go deeper, and along the way, they really met many powerful and huge Monster Fairies. Some had nine heads, spat water and fire, and cried like babies; some had human faces, horse hooves, and red hair on the body of a bull; some had strange shapes, like a collection of countless kinds of beasts …
Just like what He Mu had said, they didn't have any intelligence, and they didn't feel any hostility toward those shrouded in the Holy Virtue.
After a long time, He Mu's eyes lit up, and he saw a mountain peak so high that its peak couldn't be seen.
Jiu Li and the other demons had seen divine mountains that were as big as stars, but when they saw this mountain peak, they felt that it was taller than they had ever seen before. It pierced through the heavens, and reached the height of the Nine Serenities!
"Could it be the Sky Supporting Divine Mountain from the Primitive World?" Ao Qin murmured doubtfully.
Jiu Li shook her head and said, "Definitely not. The Sky Supporting Divine Mountain has long been destroyed with the end of the era, and the remaining parts are known as the materials for the Heaven Flipping Seal of Heavenly Lord Guangcheng, one of the Nine Primogenitors of Taoism. This should be the arrangement and derivation of the Nine-headed Great Sage based on the Sky Supporting Divine Mountain."
As they talked, they reached the bottom of the mountain peak, and there were two different patterns of Nine-headed Birds, both of which gave off a sense of barbarism and mystery.
"Mr. Yueluo, what does this mean?" Jiu Li looked at He Mu, and so did Ao Qin and the other demons, looking expectantly.
The imitation of the Sky Supporting Divine Mountain piercing through the clouds was most likely to lead to the Primordial Celestial World, which was very consistent with He Mu's previous interpretation!
He Mu felt lucky. If it was in the past, the Myriad World Talisman would definitely be interfered with or even isolated when entering such a place. But today, his master had achieved creation and could ignore this level of influence.
He sat cross-legged and once again entered the Myriad World Access to ask for help. Not long after, he got the answer.
"The right side means' the living beings here do not have spiritual intelligence '," He Mu said in a low voice.
"Yes," Jiu Li nodded. This was exactly the same as what she saw just now.
He Mu continued under the expectant gaze, "The left side means' no one who is not a celestial or a god can enter '."
"No one who is not a celestial or a god can enter?" Jiu Li frowned. "Can't one enter this mountain without becoming a demon god?"
She tried to activate the aura of the Five Virtues Heaven and Earth Fan, but there seemed to be an invisible wall in front of her. No matter how hard she tried, she could not pass through!
He Mu's heart skipped a beat. He walked over and tried to take a step forward. With a wave of ripples, he actually passed through and stepped onto the starting point of the mountain path!
"What's going on?"
"How did you get in?"
Questions came from Ao Qin, the Golden-Scaled Fairy, and the other demons. They all looked stunned and confused.
He Mu seemed to be confused as well. He stood rooted to the ground, thinking hard.
Even the aura of their Heavenly Weapons and Magic Treasures could not fake the passage of immortals. How could I do it?
Oh yes, my current aura is actually the aura of Senior Brother Xiao Tian. Although it has decreased a lot, it is enough to be considered as an immortal!
Is this a coincidence?
No, my master must have foreseen it. Everything is under his control!
He Mu subconsciously looked at the entrance of the cave abode, as if he wanted to look through it to the Yuxu Palace of Kunlun Mountain.
…
In the Yuxu Palace of Kunlun Mountain.
Mengqi was in a quiet room, sitting cross-legged on the bed. His eyes were half-closed, sunk into the depths of darkness. No one knew where he was.
