Stay in the Five Spirits Realm?
Xu Chong looked thoughtful.
The three of them did not rush and waited quietly.
Taking this opportunity, Xu Chong quietly launched the power of light.
In an instant, a new perspective was generated, and without anyone noticing, it began to accelerate upwards.
Gradually, the entire bamboo forest appeared in front of Xu Chong.
It’s about a hundred miles in radius.
Gurgling streams, dancing birds, and lush flowers and plants.
In addition, there was no fifth person besides the four of them, making it look like a paradise.
However, as soon as we touched the edge of the bamboo forest, all the beauty came to an abrupt end.
The circular stone wall that towers into the sky encloses the entire bamboo forest.
Moreover, the stone wall was densely covered with five-colored runes, which undoubtedly formed some kind of powerful enemy-defending formation.
If nothing unexpected happens, this is the second measure used by the Five Spirits Realm to prevent the invasion of nothingness.
Of course, whether or not one can defend against nothingness is another matter, but one certainly cannot defend against the authority of light.
The viewing angle continues to rise.
After a moment, the magnificent scene reappeared outside the stone wall.
Endless plains, cities and villages of all sizes, shepherds playing flutes on the backs of cows, farmers humming ballads in the rice fields...
An idea suddenly occurred to Xu Chong.
If there were no illusory threats, I would be happy to live here, right?
pity……
The viewing angle continues to rise.
This time, it took a long time before the scene changed.
About a million miles away, five super-giant mountains are connected together in a circle. One is flashing with cold light, one is lush and green, one is covered with ice and snow, one is full of flames, and one is heavy and steady.
There is a huge stone tablet at the foot of the mountain, with words such as Golden Spirit Holy Land and Wood Spirit Holy Land engraved on it.
As for the mountains above, there were two powerful auras in the Golden Spirit Palace and the Wooden Spirit Palace, so Xu Chong suppressed his curiosity and did not continue to spy.
And seeing this is actually enough.
In general, the living environment and cultivation environment of the Five Spirits Realm are far superior to the former Tianxuan Realm and the current Baiyujing.
Unfortunately, Xu Chong couldn't stay here forever.
Although he could still slowly cultivate and break through to the second level if he stayed in the Five Spirits Realm, it would take too long and could not be compared with swallowing the gray fog.
What's more, the authority of light can only be enhanced through divine energy, and as for divine energy... unless Xu Chong is ruthless and switches to the form of nothingness, he will devour the Five Spirit Realms which are also on the real side.
It was obvious that he couldn't do this.
"I can only appreciate the kindness of the three Taoist friends."
Xu Chong cupped his hands.
After these words were spoken, the three of them all showed puzzled expressions.
You know, they directly offered the highest price.
Handing over the highest position to someone else, from then on there will be someone putting pressure on you. This kind of thing cannot be done without great courage and a broad mind.
The three of them were even ready to withstand the pressure from the other two supreme elders and force the matter through.
Unexpectedly, Xu Chong refused.
"Fellow Daoist, are you worried that the three of us might have other plans?"
Tu Sanshan asked first.
"If you don't believe me, the three of us can swear to the Dao Heart!"
Huo Bufan said with absolute certainty.
Although Shui Yunzi didn't say anything, his expression was also sincere.
"The three Taoist friends have misunderstood."
Xu Chong waved his hands quickly, "Just from the conversation just now, I have benefited a lot, which shows that the three of you are open-minded."
"Why is that?"
Tu Sanshan frowned, "Could it be... that the Five Spiritual Realms are not enough to provide fellow Daoist with the conditions to break through to the first level?"
"That's not entirely what I mean..."
Xu Chong didn't want to ruin the initial friendship he had established, and didn't know how to explain it for a moment.
However, this answer became an affirmation in the eyes of the three people.
"Well, to put it bluntly, in the current Daxu, it is even a question whether there is a second real space, let alone a real space comparable to the Five Spirit Realms..."
Shui Yunzi's face was a little stiff. "Let's take a step back and say, even if there is one, given the vastness of the Great Ruins, it's hard to say whether we can find it in our lifetime."
"yes."
Huo Bufan nodded repeatedly.
"You still misunderstood..."
Xu Chong hesitated for a moment, then suddenly sighed: "Forget it, I didn't want to reveal this ability, but you three are so sincere to me, and I don't want to ruin this relationship."
As he spoke, Xu Chong stretched out his right hand and put a finger into the teacup in front of him.
"Well……"
The three of them were stunned and didn't understand what this meant.
Even though the tea was freshly poured and was still steaming, enduring this little bit of temperature... wasn't a big deal for people of their level, right?
"Don't look at me, look at the teacup."
Xu Chong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
cup?
The three of them turned their eyes.
Then I became even more confused.
In their sight, the seven full cups of tea were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After just two or three breaths, it completely disappeared, revealing the clean bottom of the cup.
But what does this mean?
"Spatial authority? We have already seen it before..."
Huo Bufan scratched his head.
“It’s not spatial authority.”
Xu Chong shook his head. "I didn't use any strength just now. All I did was just put my fingers into the tea."
"this……"
Tu Sanshan's pupils shrank, as if he thought of something.
"Since I have not seen it in other people, I cannot say what it is called, but you can think of it as a physical gift."
Xu Chong explained, "As long as I don't actively suppress it, any part of my body can actively absorb the energy around it to replenish its own consumption... In fact, I didn't take any extra water or medicine while walking in Daxu."
“…”
The three of them were once again in shock and completely speechless.
But Xu Chong hadn't finished yet.
"The reason why I rejected your kindness is that this talent can not only be continuously replenished in the barren ruins, but it can even be used to absorb the gray fog, which is the void, the evil demon in your mouth."
“To be honest with you, the destruction of the Tianxuan Realm was due to the erosion of the two Void Buds. Although the two Void Buds did not die, I used this method to turn them back into seeds of nothingness without wisdom.”
"I was narrow-minded for not telling you the truth at the beginning. Please forgive me."
As he said this, Xu Chong bowed again to express his apology.
In fact, he could have chosen to say nothing, or even walk away.
Because these three people couldn't stop him .
But this is Xu Chong's personality. He will repay kindness with hatred. If you treat me badly, I will repay you three times. If you treat me well, I will also repay you three times.
Although Huo Bufan and the other two were wary at the beginning, they completely relaxed their guard later on and told him everything they knew.
Even the saying 'You are the most respected in the Five Spirits Realm' is not just talk.
Things have come to this, what can Xu Chong do?
Of course, temperament is temperament, reason is reason, and he is not stupid enough to reveal all the details.
As long as his virtual and real status and the authority of light are not exposed, he can fully cope with any changes in the Five Spirits Realm with his strength.
"call……"
Tu Sanshan let out a long breath, "Daoyou, you are too serious. At a time when the truth has declined to this extent, it is definitely better to be more vigilant than less vigilant. Daoyou can tell me this special ability frankly, which can be regarded as a heart-to-heart talk with us."
"Yeah, I even think you're not cautious enough. You told me your name so easily. What if I gain the power to curse?"
Huo Bufan nodded in agreement, then smiled awkwardly: "Didn't I tell you before that my name is Huo Yunzi? Actually, that was a lie. My real name is Huo Bufan."
"Well……"
Xu Chong was stunned. "The power of curse can kill the enemy from a distance just by using his name?"
"Don't listen to Old Ghost Huo's nonsense. If the power of curse is really that strong, wouldn't it have been invincible in Daxu long ago?"
Shui Yunzi also recovered from the shock and replied with a smile: "It depends on how much authority you have. The more authority you have, the less information you need to cast the curse. If it's just the name and image, I'm afraid only more than 20% of the curse authority can do it, and that's already a first-class person... In addition, remote curses will pay the price of power attenuation. For a first-class person, it's better to just simply use a curse to find the direction and then come in person."
"Fellow Daoist Shui is right, but if you are traveling in Daxu, you'd better be as cautious as possible. Fellow Daoist Jiang must not reveal your real name in the future, especially to those evil demons."
Tu Sanshan added.
Xu Chong's eyes widened, and he asked, "Could it be that someone from the evil demon side has used the power of curse to advance to the first level?"
"Yes, the evil demons call it the Lord of Frost Sky."
Shui Yunzi nodded, "This evil demon is an ancient being from the same period as the Five Elements Heavenly Emperor, so it was mentioned in the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Records."
"Is that so..."
Xu Chong seemed to be thinking about something, and quickly recalled his experiences from the time he came into contact with the Bud of Nothingness until now.
Fortunately, he did not reveal the name 'Xu Chong'.
The two Void Buds didn't even know his name. Even Salo who came later only knew that his name was 'Jiang Wang'.
If there really was a big boss from the Void who cursed him through Jiang Wang...
My fellow villager, you have done a great job!
Xu Chong couldn't help but sigh.
"In that case, our previous proposal was indeed ill-considered. I hope Brother Jiang will not take it to heart."
Tu Sanshan considerately avoided the topic of 'devouring evil demons' and said with a smile: "But meeting is fate. Daoist Jiang, there is no need to rush to travel to Daxu. It is better to stay in Wuling Realm for a while and see if there is anything you can use."
"That's right."
Huo Bufan nodded repeatedly, "Although the Five Spirits Realm has declined from the level of Huantian, it is still far beyond the Huanjie. There is no shortage of external objects that can help break through to the second level. As long as Brother Jiang can use it, just ask for it."
"It just so happens that it's almost time for you, Old Man Huo, to be rotated out."
Shui Yunzi suggested with a smile, "Why don't you take Daoist Fellow Jiang to tour the Five Spirit Realm?"
"Okay, no problem!"
Huo Bufan stood up excitedly, and just as he was about to invite Xu Chong, he suddenly stopped there, with a look of hesitation on his face: "But I still have three days to stay at the gate of the world..."
"You reckless man, do you still care about this?"
Shui Yunzi sneered and waved his hand like he was chasing away a fly: "Hurry up and leave, Brother Jiang has the power of space, are you afraid that you can't come back at any time?"
"Oh yeah, forget about that."
Huo Bufan became happy again and raised his hand: "Daoyou Jiang, please."
Xu Chong didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He didn't say anything and didn't agree.
Isn't this forced solicitation?
"Whatever, I'm here now."
Xu Chong shook his head, stood up and said with a smile: "If you really come across any useful treasure, don't blame me for being unscrupulous, okay?"
"That's too much."
Shui Yunzi waved his hand indifferently.
In comparison, Tu Sanshan seemed to be much more frugal and said after a moment's deliberation: "The Five-Colored Divine Bird Clan has the most treasures, more than the Five Spirit Palace combined."
“…”
Shui Yunzi's face suddenly turned dark.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Xu Chong laughed loudly, took a step forward, and the figure disappeared.
"Hey, don't use your spatial authority. I can't find you..."
A raging fire burned on Huo Bufan's body, wrapping him up in the air and chasing after him in a hurry.
In the blink of an eye, there were only two people left in the bamboo forest.
"If it weren't for Daoist Fellow's reminder, I wouldn't have thought that I could keep him as a guest."
Tu Sanshan retracted his gaze and smiled brightly, "You are still far-sighted, fellow Taoist."
"What?"
Shui Yunzi seemed to be thinking about something and was stunned for a moment when he heard this.
"Isn't it?"
Tu Sanshan was surprised. "The Tianxuan Realm's skills are of great value to the Five Spirit Realm today, but they were born in different worlds after all. If they are not combined with the divine text system and modified, they may not be suitable for people in the Five Spirit Realm... As long as Fellow Daoist Jiang stays in the Five Spirit Realm, he will definitely be willing to help with this. Perhaps we can really research a set of skills that can be generally applicable to mortals and have a very high upper limit."
"Well……"
Shui Yunzi looked embarrassed, "I really didn't think of this."
"Um?"
Tu Sanshan frowned, "Why did you..."
"You are considering the entire Five Spirits Realm, I am considering..."
Shui Yunzi looked in the direction Xu Chong left and said, "It was Daoist Jiang himself."
"What's wrong?"
Tu Sanshan's heart tightened, "Is there something wrong with him?"
"I can't say it's wrong..."
Shui Yunzi sighed quietly, with a complicated expression on his face, "Actually, there is still a lot I haven't said about the Heavenly Emperor's Secret Records."
"I'd like to hear more about it."
Tu Sanshan said solemnly.
"At the very end of the Secret Records of Heaven and Earth, there is a prophecy left by the Emperor of Heaven in his later years."
Shui Yunzi's tone was very low, "When nothingness can be killed, light will reappear in the ruins."
"!!!"
Tu Sanshan's pupils suddenly shrank to the extreme.
Nothingness can be killed?
If it was before, he would not even dare to think about this, but now, 'Jiang Wang' has proved it himself.
And the light reappeared in the ruins. What does this mean?
Without a doubt, it must refer to the resurgence of truth.
"In other words...Fellow Daoist Jiang is the one who will restore the truth?"
Tu Sanshan murmured, and then suddenly reacted and asked, "Isn't this a good thing? Why does Daoist friend have such a complicated expression?"
"Because what I just said is only part of it."
Shui Yunzi smiled bitterly and whispered faintly: "The complete prophecy..."
"When nothingness can be killed, when reality is completely annihilated, light will reappear in the ruins."
