"A body of stone tablets, a rootless soul. This, this might be the will of the Celestial Boundary Stone itself. " Despite his vast knowledge, Demon Lord Skyreach couldn't help but break out in cold sweat after hearing the severed arm's explanation.
"Pill King Lu's wisdom is unparalleled. If he hadn't planned this properly, he might've fallen for the Celestial Boundary Stone's trap."
Demon Lord Skyreach wasn't flattering Lu Xiaotian. Before this, he was a host of Lord Jiyuan and had countless demon experts under his command. In addition, his thousands of years of planning in the Demon Realm of Chaos had all been destroyed by Lu Xiaotian. This wasn't something that could be done with strength alone. In the beginning, Lu Xiaotian's strength was far inferior to Demon Lord Skyreach's.
"The will of the Celestial Boundary Stone itself? What do you mean? "Both the severed arm and the lotus clone were surprised. They couldn't understand its mysteries.
"At first, I only heard a few demonic seniors mention it. At the time, I didn't quite believe it. Now, it seems very likely. The Celestial Boundary Stone is a treasure of heaven and earth. It contains the principles of heaven and earth, but it doesn't have its own will. It's just that later, experts of various races used their abilities and used the Celestial Boundary Stone to cultivate the Tablet Seal Technique and left their mark on the stone. The people who left the mark had different temperaments. Over time, it would affect the Celestial Boundary Stone and cause it to develop a consciousness. That's probably how Gou Qian came to be. "
Demon Lord Skyreach explained.
"If that's the case, it makes sense." The lotus clone nodded and agreed with Demon Lord Skyreach's explanation. Demon Lord Skyreach had to rely on Lu Xiaotian to recover his strength, so he naturally wouldn't make any short-sighted moves on the Celestial Boundary Stone for the time being.
After conversing with Demon Lord Skyreach, the severed arm and the lotus clone continued to explore the mysterious passage of the Eight Trigrams Secret Realm.
After killing Gou Qian, they encountered relatively fewer dangers. The Tablet Seal Technique in their bodies also became more sensitive. The severed arm and the lotus clone were delighted. According to their calculations, Gou Qian attacked the severed arm because the severed arm had gradually reached the core of the Celestial Boundary Stone. Otherwise, Gou Qian wouldn't have spent so much effort to deal with him without any threat.
Towards the end, the passageway became narrower and narrower. It was only a few hundred feet wide. The power of lightning and the intertwining coldness in the surroundings were already unavoidable. He could only channel his transcendence energy to forcefully pass through the obstruction.
After traveling in this secret realm for several months, the view suddenly opened up. In this place, it was impossible to distinguish between the sky and the ground. The roaming lightning and ice fog intertwined, blocking the line of sight. In the distance, there was a rough and majestic stone palace vaguely standing in the midst of the lightning and ice fog. It was impossible to determine how far away it was, and how big it was.
From afar, several streams of monstrous Qi, Devil Qi, and Ghost Qi surged. Some were familiar with him, and some were extremely unfamiliar with him.
"It seems that although we have killed Gou Qian, the others have also solved their own problems." The Lotus Avatar glanced into the distance. The two demonic auras were extremely familiar. They were the Four-eyed Golden Vast Bird and the Sky-roaming Kun Shark.
As expected of a Mahayana realm demon cultivator, although it had been plotted against by Gou Qian, and the Sky-Roaming Kun Shark's condition was inferior to its peak, it did not look like it had been seriously injured.
As for the Mahayana realm demon cultivator, the severed arm and the Lotus Avatar were both controlled by Lu Xiaotian's former Primordial Spirit, so they were naturally familiar with him. He was also the Nine-eyed Demon Owl that had fought with Chihiro Yeh in the Star Field.
The only one he had not met was the other Ghost Clan powerhouse with a golden skeleton and a blue Ghost Qi all over his body. However, Lu Xiaotian had heard of this Ghost Clan powerhouse before. He was the Ghost Lord of the Golden Abyss, and had been famous for no less than tens of thousands of years. He was one of the overlords of the Ghost Clan.
"I didn't expect Elixir King Lu to arrive so quickly. You really live up to your reputation." The Four-eyed Golden Vast Bird glanced at the severed arm and the Lotus Avatar with some wariness. The scar-faced woman that Gou Qian had transformed into was not easy to deal with. Even the severed arm was careless and was sent away by her, causing the Sky-Roaming Kun Shark to suffer a serious injury. It had recovered most of its strength, and the Sky-Roaming Kun Shark had a sacred healing item passed down through the generations, allowing it to recover to this extent in such a short time.
Even the severed arm didn't fare well against the scar-faced woman. If it weren't for his incredible speed that prevented the scar-faced woman from succeeding, it would have been difficult for him to maintain his current state. On the other hand, Lu Xiaotian's severed arm and the nameless sword cultivator were unscathed. In contrast, the Four-eyed Golden Vast Bird was naturally more vigilant.
"I was just lucky. I didn't encounter too much danger along the way. "The severed arm casually responded.
At this time, the severed arm's real attention was on the Nine-eyed Demon Owl. Back then, the Nine-eyed Demon Owl's strength was on par with Chihiro Yeh's. After more than two thousand years, Chihiro Yeh had already passed away, and the Nine-eyed Demon Owl's strength had improved. However, what really worried the severed arm was the Dark Lotus.
Back then, the Nine-eyed Demon Owl and Chihiro Yeh were teleported away by him. It probably knew that he had taken the main lotus of the Dark Lotus. It wouldn't be difficult for it to guess that he had cultivated the Lotus Avatar.
In fact, the Nine-eyed Demon Owl did have some guesses. Its eyes swept back and forth between the severed arm and the nameless sword cultivator. Even if it had some doubts in its heart, it couldn't determine whether this nameless sword cultivator was Lu Xiaotian's Lotus Avatar.
One had to know that when Lu Xiaotian obtained the Dark Lotus, he was only in the Body Integration Realm. It had only been two thousand years since then. In such a short time, a lotus avatar without any foundation had cultivated to the Mahayana Realm, which was not weaker than him. This was even beyond the knowledge of a Mahayana Realm cultivator.
"Pill King Lu, I haven't seen you for many years. I didn't expect you to have improved to such an extent. Congratulations on receiving such help from Fellow Daoist Nameless." The Nine-eyed Demon Owl's nine eyes were hidden in a cloud of demonic clouds, flickering between the severed arm and the lotus avatar.
"Nine-eyed Demon Lord, it's also been a long time."
The severed arm greeted the other party. There was no enmity between the two sides. For the time being, the other party had not offended him. The severed arm had no intention of being hostile for the time being. However, with the Celestial Stone in front of them, there would inevitably be interests involved later. Only God knew how long this temporary peace could last.
"Now is not the time to reminisce. Since you are all here, you are not ordinary people and probably have the same purpose. In the end, it will depend on who gets the Celestial Stone. However, before that, we still need to work together to break the tortoise shell outside the Celestial Stone. Do any of you have any objections? "
The Phantom Golden Ghost Lord glanced at the severed arm, the Four-eyed Golden Vast Bird, and the others.
"I agree with the Ghost Lord," the Four-eyed Golden Vast Bird said. It seemed that it was not worried that the Sky-roaming Kun Shark's injury would affect the strength of the two.
"Then let's do it." The severed arm also agreed. The Celestial Stone had already given birth to a powerful person like Gou Qian. Back then, the Buddhist Sect and some Demon Clan experts had sworn an oath on the Celestial Stone, leaving a strong curse power on it. Even though many years had passed, it would not be easy to dispel this curse power.
