All of a sudden, Lv Wushuang stopped in her tracks. She scanned her surroundings coldly. The surrounding temperature had already dropped.
She floated in the air and looked around. She realized something was wrong. It was a rain cloud, a perfect place for the old witch to cast her spell.
Just as she thought about it, the dark clouds started to churn violently. A storm was brewing. Countless icicles were shot from all directions …
Granny Snow suddenly appeared under the dark clouds. She grabbed Yuan Gang and dropped to the ground. She rushed into the depths of the forest and disappeared under the cover of the forest.
There was a sudden rumble in the dark clouds, and countless ice shards fell. Lv Wushuang, with her ribbon fluttering in the wind, rushed out like a beautiful butterfly, and flashed out of the rainstorm-like ice shards. She left the range of the ice shards and floated in the air, looking for traces of her target.
She could no longer see him. He was long gone. Granny Snow raised her hand. She was holding a sturdy ice sheet. It was blue and had words written on it. "I don't dare to keep it all to myself. I'm afraid I'll lose it if I keep it with you. I'll hand it over to the nine clans. Don't chase me!"
"Old witch!" Lv Wushuang was furious. The ice sheet shattered in her hand.
How could she not be angry? She hadn't even gotten what she wanted. She had lost a disciple.
She looked around. She couldn't find her target. She had no choice but to fly back to the Peerless Sacred Land.
On the way, she bumped into a group of flying mounts. Lv Wushuang passed through them. She shouted, "Return!" She was already far away.
The people on the flying mounts looked at each other and immediately turned back …
Lv Wushuang landed at the entrance of the Jade Silkworm Cave. She looked at the ice on the ground that hadn't melted. She floated back into the cave.
After entering the underground space, she landed beside Hua Meiru's corpse. Her chest heaved. She said hatefully, "Useless thing. What a disgrace!"
Dying in front of Granny Xue's eyes was indeed a great humiliation to her.
She looked up at the empty cocoon. Slowly, she floated into the air. She reached out her hand to examine it.
She did not come back to see her disciple's corpse, but to see this cocoon. She did not understand how Yuan Gang had managed to escape. Could it be that Hua Meiru had released him?
He flipped to the crack at the back. It was obvious that the crack had come from here. Looking closely, there were traces of the crack. It was not torn, nor was it cut. Moreover, the crack was very irregular, and there were many traces of nibbling.
Bite it open? She suddenly looked around and saw the Jade Silkworm that was crawling on the branches and chewing on the leaves. She instantly understood that it was the Jade Silkworm that helped to bite open the door.
The Jade Silkworm's ability to spin a cocoon and break out of it was an innate ability. It was not surprising that the Jade Silkworm could bite through the silk thread.
And it was impossible for Jade Silkworm to help Yuan Gang escape for no reason. There had to be a reason!
Lv Wushuang's eyes flickered, and she soon understood what was going on. She was quite surprised. She had thought that Yuan Gang could only control sand scorpions, but he could even control jade silkworms?
There was a thoughtful look in his eyes, as if he had made a new discovery!
…
In a deep ravine in the Demon Ridge, Zhao Xiongge was groping in the darkness. Niu Youdao followed behind him, looking up at the sky above from time to time.
Zhao Xiongge finally stopped at a corner between the stone wall and the ground, and began to dig.
After digging about ten feet deep, he cast a spell and sucked out a large stone. He shattered it with his palm, revealing a metal box inside.
Niu Youdao immediately went closer to take a look.
He opened the box, and inside was a bundle of oiled paper. Zhao Xiongge took the oiled paper, threw it into the box, and opened the tightly wrapped oiled paper. There was a bronze-colored metal scroll.
Looking at this item, Zhao Xiongge sighed. "After I promised the Saintess, I guarded this for many years. Today, I am finally free." He handed it to Niu Youdao.
Niu Youdao received it. It was an active scroll with four words written on it: Li Ge Zha.
He could not help but ask, "This is the Demonic Book?"
"It's just a name. Calling it 'Li Ge Zha' would attract too much attention." Zhao Xiongge explained casually, and then taught him how to open it. Pull the attached bar to pull out the page, and after pulling, the page would automatically roll back.
Niu Youdao pulled it out to take a look, and found that it was a soft metal scroll. It was made with many small pieces of metal connected together. It was very intricately made, and there were many densely packed words engraved on it.
He could not wait to read the contents, and Zhao Xiongge was on guard.
Niu Youdao, who looked carefully, found that the opening was a series of secret techniques.
There was the [Explosive Technique], which concentrated all one's cultivation to unleash a fatal blow. This was a technique to perish together with the enemy.
There was the technique to forcefully absorb other people's cultivation to quickly increase one's cultivation. This was also used in emergencies, and it was also a technique to fight to the death. The caster could not avoid death in the end.
There was the technique to imbue one's cultivation to others. Once this technique was used, the caster would die from exhaustion, and if the beneficiary could not bear it, their tendons and veins would explode and they would die.
There was also the technique to refine Crow General, and so on. In short, there was a lot of information. Niu Youdao was secretly shocked, and after reading the technique section, he raised his head and said, "I can't see a single decent one. They are all evil techniques that harm others and themselves in a short period of time. It's not wrong to call it a Demonic Book!"
Zhao Xiongge said, "According to the Saintess, Li Ge left these techniques behind to protect the user in case of trouble."
Niu Youdao said, "Li Ge is the dignified Empress of the Wu Dynasty, where did he get these evil and evil techniques?"
Zhao Xiongge shook his head. "I don't know, is this very important?"
Niu Youdao continued to open the scroll and read it again. After that, it was obviously some of the words left behind by Li Ge, and he was fascinated.
The general meaning was that because the world's Spiritual Qi was thin, Shang Song, in order to pursue a higher cultivation, shattered the void and opened up the four realms. He opened up the passageway that connected the four realms and guided the Spiritual Qi that was convenient for cultivation. After that, Shang Song remembered the past, shattered the void and left, never to return.
Li Ge thought that it was impossible for Shang Song to not return, and that something must have happened, so he decided to look for Shang Song.
However, Li Ge was worried that he would not return. Once he was not there to suppress the Spiritual Qi, he was afraid that the cultivators in the world would gradually rise up and bring disaster to the world. Originally, he wanted to cut off the five realms' passage, and cut off the Spiritual Qi from the other four realms, so that the cultivators in the world could not prosper. However, the connection between the five realms was a formation that Shang Song had used the power of the stars to set up. Once it was destroyed, she and Shang Song would probably not be able to find their way back. After all, their children were still here.
For his own selfish reasons, and afraid that it would bring disaster to the world, Li Ge made slight changes to the Five Realms Star Formation, and only limited the Spiritual Qi to a certain extent.
He also left behind eight artifacts: mirror, sword, ruler, cauldron, ring, pearl, staff, and token.
If Li Ge could not return, and the cultivators wreaked havoc in the world, the inheritor of the letter could go to the 'Land of Drowning Buddha' and hit the cauldron with the ring. When it struck long and loud, it would naturally summon the receiving object. Then, they would go to the visible high platform, and insert the token to open the connection of the other four realms.
The sword could be inserted into the connection of the human realm, the staff could be inserted into the connection of the Secret Realm of Tiandu, the pearl could be inserted into the butterfly realm, and the ruler could be inserted into the Fox Fairy realm. The Five Realms Star Formation could collapse, and it could cut off the Spiritual Qi of the human realm, causing the cultivators in the world to gradually decline due to the lack of Spiritual Qi, and the mortals could regain control.
In addition, if the owner of the butterfly appeared in the world, he must be a capable person, so he would immediately give the letter to him and so on.
In the end, Li Ge warned that he would set up a batch of 'Soul Snatching Array', and if the inheritor of the letter did not follow his orders, the person in the mirror would come and kill him!
"The person in the mirror … Soul Snatching Array … the person in the mirror …" When he read the last part, Niu Youdao muttered and slowly closed the scroll. His expression was a little absent-minded. When he muttered about the Soul Snatching Array, he thought of a certain ancient tomb that had collapsed, and also the bronze mirror in the ancient tomb that was exactly the same as the Shang Jing.
"A batch of Soul Snatching Array … a batch …" When he muttered the word 'a batch', Niu Youdao revealed a slightly helpless smile.
Zhao Xiongge, who was on guard, turned around and saw that the letter had already been closed. He asked, "What are you muttering about? Have you finished reading?"
"Alas!" Niu Youdao looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh. "I've finished reading. Who exactly are this Shang Song and Li Ge?"
Zhao Xiongge: "How would I know?"
Niu Youdao lifted the metal scroll. "The person who inherited the letter should be the Devil Sect's Saintess. Why didn't she follow the instructions?"
Zhao Xiongge: "There are some things that Li Ge probably didn't expect. In order to fight for the throne, her descendants actually treated the so-called 'Eight Treasures' as some kind of treasure. They actually snatched them away, causing the person who received the letter to be unable to gather all eight items. Later on, the world was in chaos and cultivators gradually rose. It became increasingly difficult for the person who received the letter to obtain it. Thus, she concealed her identity and founded the Devil Sect, intending to use the power of others to achieve something.
"There were some things that you asked me before, but I actually didn't know the answer. I also didn't know how to explain it to you. How would I know why Li Ge didn't put this letter together with the Holy Rakshasa so that you could obtain it? You were able to subdue the Holy Rakshasa and see this letter. Don't you know the reason behind it? "
Niu Youdao laughed. "This is probably a test. Those who don't meet her requirements won't be able to see this letter. But she's really brave. Isn't she afraid that the letter will be lost?"
Zhao Xiongge: "Even if it's lost, who can destroy something that belongs to Li Ge? They'll probably hide it like a treasure. As long as they see the contents and see the owner of the Holy Rakshasa, I'm afraid they won't be able to resist the urge to find her. "
Niu Youdao pondered for a moment. Thinking about it, he laughed. "As expected of the person who keeps the Demonic Book. You've thought quite deeply."
Zhao Xiongge waved his hand and asked, "What do the Soul-Stealing Array and the person in the mirror mean? Also, it only mentions the use of seven items. The use of the Shang Mirror is not mentioned. I don't know if it has anything to do with the so-called 'person in the mirror'. Even the previous Holy Virgins don't know what it means. Since you have this, you should be able to understand it, right? "
Niu Youdao understood his feelings. He had guarded something for so many years, but in the end, he was still confused. He couldn't help but want to understand it. He snorted with a faint smile. "A batch of the Soul-Stealing Array, it's a batch! If the inheritor of the letter succeeds and breaks the location of the Five Regions Star Array, it will probably stop something and the person in the mirror will not appear. Otherwise, there will be substitutes one after another until it succeeds. "
Zhao Xiongge didn't understand. "What do you mean?"
"How would I know what it means?" Niu Youdao snorted and knocked on the metal scroll in his hand. "Let me ask you. Five regions, the human world, the Butterfly's Fantasy World, the Holy Land, and the Heavenly Capital Mystic Realm. There are only four of them. What kind of place is this Land of Fallen Buddha? Why haven't I heard of it? Also, what the hell is this summoning thing with the gongs and drums? "
Zhao Xiongge: "The Holy Virgins said that the Land of Fallen Buddha is an endless desert."
