Chapter 139: Sixth on the Spiritual Treasure List: Immortal Kunlun Mirror
Taixu Sect, headquarters.
The pavilions and towers on the waterside are shrouded in mist, like a fairyland.
The four of them sat opposite each other, tasting the fine wine, with the sound of flowing spring water beside their ears.
The leader of these four people is an old man wearing a Tai Chi robe. He looks vigorous, with white hair and a youthful face, but in fact, there is a faint sense of decay in his aura.
If other people were here, they would be surprised to see this old man with white hair and a youthful face.
This person is the uncle of the current Taixu Sect's leader. He is also the person with the highest seniority in the Taixu Sect, nicknamed Piaomiao Zhenren.
When Piaomiao Zhenren was young, he was also a genius of his generation. He was regarded as a seed of the twelfth realm and had the hope of competing for the position of the leader of the Taixu Sect.
It’s a pity that during an experience, his foundation was damaged, so that he was stuck in the bottleneck of the twelfth realm for hundreds of years.
But even so, Piaomiao Zhenren is known as the number one person under the Twelve Realms and is a well-known strong man in the entire Shenzhou.
This time, the Taixu Sect was led by True Man Piaomiao, which shows how much importance the Taixu Sect attached to this trip to Yujing.
The major holy land families had a tacit understanding with the Great Yu court that people from the Twelve Realms would not enter Yujing City.
After all, the Twelve Realms are the nuclear weapons of the major holy land families. Once they enter Yujing City, what if Emperor Qianyuan suddenly has a brain attack and picks up the Xuanyuan Sword and kills them? Wouldn’t that be a huge loss?
Except for the nearly immortal being like the Immortal Lord, no strong man in the Twelve Realms would easily enter Yujing City.
Therefore, Piaomiao Zhenren is already the highest level of combat power that Taixu Sect can produce.
The trip to Yujing was presided over by True Man Piaomiao, which also shows that Taixu Sect is very curious about Emperor Qianyuan's current condition.
"Qianxun, what did the Saint say?" asked Piaomiao Zhenren in a hoarse voice.
"According to Uncle Lan, there is no sign that Emperor Qianyuan is injured. If the White Lotus Cult hadn't caused such a big commotion this time, even she would have been kept in the dark."
"But..." Meng Qianxun paused for a few breaths before continuing, "Master Lan said that about three years ago, she noticed that Emperor Qianyuan's soul had left his body and left the palace, and he was suspected to have gone to..."
"Jiuyou!"
Jiuyou!
After these words were spoken, the three elders of Taixu Sect looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
"Emperor Qianyuan can actually enter the Nine Netherworld!"
"Back then, the head brother used half a page of the Book of Life and Death to try to sense the location of the Nine Netherworld, but he failed at the last moment."
"According to the head brother, Jiuyou and Shenzhou are two separate realms, and the ban is so strong that only those in the twelfth realm can break through."
"How can Emperor Qianyuan have such virtue and ability to have his soul enter the underworld!"
An elder said in shock.
There are so many secret places in the world that it is impossible to count them all.
There are at least hundreds of large secret realms with names, and as for the small secret realms, they are countless.
However, among the many secret realms, there are two extremely special ones - Kunlun and Jiuyou.
The Taixu Sect has a long history of 100,000 years and has extensive research on ancient times.
In ancient times, immortals and Buddhas existed, and gods descended to the world.
The practitioners at that time could become one of the gods and Buddhas in the sky through their own practice.
It can be said that ancient times were the golden age for spiritual practice.
Since ancient times, immortals and Buddhas have disappeared, and even the realm of cultivation has been stuck at the twelfth level.
The realm of gods and Buddhas has long become a rumor.
Why did the ancient times perish?
Why is the realm of cultivation limited to twelve realms?
Why did the world change so drastically? What happened in ancient times?
These secrets are hidden in the mist of history.
Although Taixu Sect understood a little bit through the secret realm, it was far from enough.
This is because ordinary secret realms are too small in scope, so even if they contain ancient secrets, they are only a tiny bit.
If you want to find out the mystery of the destruction of the ancient era, there is only one way.
Explore Kunlun and Jiuyou.
Kunlun and Jiuyou, these two secret realms are unique and their scope is no less vast than that of Shenzhou. They hide countless ancient secrets.
Therefore, Taixu Sect has never stopped exploring Kunlun and Jiuyou over the years.
It’s a pity that Kunlun and Jiuyou are not so easy to explore.
Kunlun is extremely mysterious and no one knows how to enter.
According to legend, only the great ancestor of Dayu had ever entered the secret realm of Kunlun.
Of course, these were all favors, and Taizu of Dayu never responded directly.
Compared to Kunlun, Jiuyou is a secret realm that is more promising to enter.
This is because in ancient times, Jiuyou was the final destination of death for countless living beings, and it had the function of guiding the souls of the dead.
Therefore, one can enter Jiuyou from anywhere in Shenzhou; there is no such thing as an entrance.
However, due to the destruction of the ancient era, there is a seal between Jiuyou and Shenzhou, which prohibits the two worlds.
If you want to go to Jiuyou, you need a key.
In Taixu Sect, there is a half-page Book of Life and Death, which is related to Jiuyou.
It’s a pity that half a page of the Book of Life and Death is too little. If I had a complete page, I would definitely be able to enter the Nine Netherworld.
After hearing the news brought back by Meng Qianxun, Master Piaomiao's eyes flickered constantly. After thinking for a while, he told the story.
"The Earth Mother Tree was planted by the Queen Mother Hou Tu herself, and the Queen Mother Hou Tu has a close relationship with the underworld."
"Perhaps, Emperor Qianyuan got some treasure from the Earth Mother Divine Tree that can be used as a key to enter the Nine Netherworlds. It is not impossible."
"This matter is of great importance and must be investigated."
"Uncle-master, do you mean to contact the Undead Lord of the Black Street?" an elder of Taixu Sect asked in surprise.
In the whole world, if there is anyone else who can enter the Nine Netherworld besides Emperor Qianyuan, it must be the Immortal Lord.
The Immortal Lord is an old monster who has lived for thousands of years. His lifespan far exceeds that of the strong men in the twelfth realm and is second only to the legendary six immortal ancient gods.
There are many different opinions about why the Immortal Lord can live for thousands of years.
The most convincing one is that the Immortal Lord entered the Nine Netherworld by chance and refined a divine seal from the ancient underworld, which gave him the ability to live forever.
"Go give it a try, Immortal Lord."
"However, with the character of Master Bu Si, who is both good and evil, he may not give face to our Taixu Sect."
True Man Piaomiao had a solemn expression on his face. This Immortal Lord was a person that could cause headaches for the entire cultivation world of Dayu.
The fact that his lair was in Yujing City, but he did not die under the sword of Xuanyuan Sword, shows how difficult he is.
"Besides that, we need to continue testing Emperor Qianyuan's situation."
"Whether Emperor Qianyuan is injured or trying to lure the snake out of its hole, there must be a result."
"Uncle Master, what are you going to do?"
"Didn't we hear recently that the remnants of King Zhao were causing trouble in Yujing City?"
"Why not contact one or two, maybe we can cooperate."
Master Piao Miao said this expressionlessly, with neither joy nor sadness in his tone.
Perhaps for Emperor Qianyuan, the remnants of King Zhao were his mortal enemies, and he hated them to the core.
But for the Taixu Sect, the remnants of King Zhao are also a possible partner.
As long as the chips are right, what's wrong with helping the remnants of King Zhao?
"The remnants of King Zhao?"
"Isn't that kid giving up yet?"
"Emperor Qianyuan has been on the throne for many years. Even if he is injured, he is not something a junior like him can deal with."
"What's more, Emperor Qianyuan has the Xuanyuan Sword in his hand to suppress his destiny. It is simply a foolish dream to want to take away Emperor Qianyuan's throne."
When Meng Qianxun heard this, she laughed and said softly.
"I may be able to guess the purpose of the remnants of King Zhao."
"Oh? Junior-Martial Brother Qianxun, what do you think?"
"Uncle Wang, have you heard of a rumor about Dayu Taizu?" Meng Qianxun did not answer immediately, but asked an irrelevant question instead.
Hearing Meng Qianxun's question, Elder Wang fell into deep thought.
"There are so many rumors about the Great Yu Emperor that I can't finish them in ten days and ten nights."
What Elder Wang said was not an exaggeration at all.
There are already many romantic rumors alone.
The most widely circulated rumor is the one between Great Ancestor of Dayu and the Saint Maiden of Xuanyin Pavilion.
I heard that the Holy Maiden of Xuanyin Pavilion of that generation was played badly by the Great Ancestor of Dayu.
From her body to her heart, she completely became like Taizu of Dayu, so much so that Xuanyin Pavilion had to depose the Saint and choose someone else.
Meng Qianxun smiled and said;
"Master Nephew is referring to the incident in Kunlun Secret Realm."
"It is said that the Great Yu Ancestor once entered the Kunlun Secret Realm and took away a legendary immortal weapon!"
"Number six on the Spiritual Treasure List, Kunlun Mirror!"
Elder Wang blurted out with an exclamation.
The Great Ancestor of Dayu took away the legendary magical artifact Kunlun Mirror from the secret realm of Kunlun.
This rumor caused a lot of buzz at the time.
However, it has always been a rumor and has never been confirmed.
Because there is no Kunlun Mirror in the royal family of Dayu.
If Taizu of Dayu really took the Kunlun Mirror from the Kunlun Secret Realm, why didn't it be passed down like the Xuanyuan Sword?
Therefore, most people believe that Emperor Taizu of Dayu had entered the secret realm of Kunlun, but the magical artifact Kunlun Mirror is purely fictional.
But then, Meng Qianxun's words made the faces of the three people present change drastically.
"I was in the palace, using my spiritual eyes to observe the Qi, and I discovered an interesting secret."
"The Kunlun Mirror was once in the imperial palace." Once there!
In other words, not now!
The three elders looked at each other and saw the horror in each other's eyes.
"So, it is true that Great Ancestor of Dayu took the Kunlun Mirror from the Kunlun Secret Realm?"
"Most likely!"
Meng Qianxun nodded with a serious expression on her face.
"However, unlike the Xuanyuan Sword, the Kunlun Mirror has not been passed down, and its whereabouts are even unknown."
"My nephew thinks that if there is any treasure that can give the remnants of King Zhao the confidence to take back the throne from Emperor Qianyuan."
"Then it must be the Kunlun Mirror."
"Perhaps, that young King Zhao knows the whereabouts of the Kunlun Mirror."
The air in the pavilions and terraces was heavy and silent.
After a while, Master Piaomiao let out a long breath and spoke slowly.
"In this case, we might as well contact the remnants of King Zhao. Perhaps we can use them to test Emperor Qianyuan."
Of course, Master Piaomiao did not say the second half of his sentence.
Treasures belong to those who are virtuous!
If there really is a magic weapon, the remnants of King Zhao will not be able to grasp it.
Only their Taixu Sect can suppress the violence of the Kunlun Mirror!
After the discussion about testing Emperor Qianyuan came to an end, True Man Piaomiao changed the subject and asked.
"Qianxun, I heard that you gave the Thirteenth Prince a copy of his cultivation experience?"
"That's right!"
"The Thirteenth Prince is a latent dragon. We should establish a good relationship with him before he becomes powerful." Meng Qianxun said frankly.
The three elders of Taixu Sect couldn't help but reveal expressions of serious thought.
They have great trust in Meng Qianxun's vision.
Since Meng Qianxun believes that the Thirteenth Prince is a potential dragon, then the Thirteenth Prince is most likely extraordinary.
"Master, I think we should speed up the selection of the Saint Girl so that she can marry the Thirteenth Prince."
"This... Sigh - the selection of this generation of Saintess is quite tortuous. I'm afraid that it will not be possible to select one in a short period of time."
"However... we can take this opportunity to conduct the investigation of the Thirteenth Prince in secret."
"Elder Wang, I'll leave this matter to you."
……
While everyone in Taixu Sect was discussing important matters, Zhou Haochen had already returned to the palace and was looking at the jade slip given to him by Meng Qianxun.
At first, Zhou Haochen thought that there was a trap in the jade slip given by Meng Qianxun, but after reading it thoroughly, he found that it was actually the experience of cultivation.
What’s more important is that he was so considerate and used Braille, leaving Zhou Haochen at a loss as to what to say.
Apart from the Braille, the contents on the jade slip were of great benefit to Zhou Haochen, and he seemed to have gained some insights.
Then, Zhou Haochen immediately went into seclusion and began to practice.
In just three days, he refined all the earth's core fire and thunder power and integrated it into his true essence.
After refining the Nine Nether Yin Wind Evil and the Earth Core Fire Thunder Gang, Zhou Haochen's true essence underwent a drastic change.
The originally neutral and peaceful true energy was now filled with two completely different auras: feminine and masculine.
Zhou Haochen needs to use all his energy to suppress these two completely different auras at all times to ensure that there is no conflict between them.
This is the drawback of absorbing Yin Sha and Yang Gang. To solve the drawback, we must harmonize Yin and Yang, and balance water and fire.
This is the third small realm of the Realm of All Things - the harmony of Yin and Yang.
The harmony of Yin and Yang is not like the two states of Yin Sha and Yang Gang, which must rely on external objects. Instead, it is a process of hard work.
Of course, there are ways to speed it up.
It is to use treasures that contain both yin and yang energies to sharpen the true essence and quickly reach the state of harmony between yin and yang.
Just when Zhou Haochen was thinking about what treasure to use to speed up his cultivation of the Yin-Yang Harmony realm.
There was a burning sensation between his brows, and golden light burst out from the Bagua diagram, with the hexagrams frequently appearing in his eyes.
[Thunder Sky: Middle-upper hexagram, go to the north of Wangchuan River and two hundred miles west of Mingzhou. After a great battle, you can expand a sixth-grade opportunity, slightly auspicious.]
[Landmine: Middle hexagram, stay in the palace, practice in seclusion, no gain and no danger, flat. ]
Seeing the hexagram, Zhou Haochen raised his eyebrows.
Sixth-grade opportunity? !
With Zhou Haochen's current perspective, he somewhat looks down on it.
However, before the sixth-grade opportunity, there are three words: "expandable".
This is unique, and if it can be expanded, it may be possible to develop a third-grade opportunity, or even a second-grade opportunity.
Zhou Haochen didn't think much about it. He directly escaped from the body and headed for the Nine Netherworld with the help of the mark of the Reincarnation Seal.
For Zhou Haochen, going to Jiuyou is already a familiar route.
A moment later, he entered the Nine Netherworld and came to the Forgotten River again.
The Beimingzhou in the hexagram is not a continent, but a sandbar in the Wangchuan River, located 500 miles east of Zhou Haochen.
During his previous explorations into the Nine Netherworlds, Zhou Haochen had passed by Beimingzhou.
However, there were many ghosts in Beiming Continent, so he did not investigate further.
Two hundred miles west of Beiming Continent.
Zhou Haochen turned into a beam of light and headed for this place.
Not long after Zhou Haochen arrived at the place indicated by the hexagram, he saw a ghost flying by.
This ghost was completely different from the ghost Zhou Haochen had seen in the Wangchuan River before.
He was wearing armor with the word "Night" on it. Judging from the style of the armor, it was obviously standard armor.
This ghost immediately attracted Zhou Haochen's attention.
According to the hexagrams he had encountered before, the ghosts in the City of Wrongful Death were organized.
Judging from the attire of the ghosts in front of us, they are obviously organized.
As expected, it was the ghost in the City of the Dead.
"According to the hexagram, there is a sixth-grade opportunity that can be expanded, and it lies in this ghost." Zhou Haochen murmured softly, with a hint of ruthlessness and murderous intent in his eyes.
He put on a disguise, assumed the aura of a water ghost, and hid in the Forgotten River, like a skilled hunter, waiting closely for his prey to take the bait.
In less than half a cup of tea, the armored ghost flew over Zhou Haochen's head.
In an instant, water splashed in the Forgotten River.
A golden bolt of lightning suddenly shot out from the Forgotten River.
The golden thunder contains an extremely strong and masculine aura, and is the nemesis of ghosts.
In an instant, it pierced through the monster's chest and cut off half of his body.
This ghost in armor would never have expected that he would be ambushed on his way back to the City of the Dead.
Moreover, once he strikes, he uses a deadly move of the level of the Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder.
It can be said that it was not unfair at all that he died under the Five Elements Pure Yang Divine Thunder.
After killing the ghost, Zhou Haochen appeared. With a snap of his right hand, the storage bag fell into his hand.
With a sweep of his mind, the treasure in the storage bag fell into Zhou Haochen's eyes. Then, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise up, which was more difficult to suppress than AK.
"Sunken black and white stone!"
"It's actually this thing!"
Zhou Haochen could tell at a glance the origin of the pile of ore in the storage bag.
The submerged black and white stone is a mineral that grows in a place where yin and yang are balanced, and contains both yin and yang energies.
The properties of this water-sinking black and white stone are just right for assisting in the harmony of Yin Sha and Yang Gang.
"It doesn't take much effort to get through the iron shoes and find nowhere!"
Zhou Haochen sighed. The treasure that could balance yin and yang was just what he needed and it was immediately delivered to his door.
Then, Zhou Haochen used the Yaksha Soul-Searching Technique to search the ghost's soul and find out the origin of the submerged black and white stone.
There were only water-sinking black and white stones in the ghost's storage bag, which was very unusual and did not look like a very long storage bag.
More like... escorting freshly mined ore.
Soon, Zhou Haochen learned the origin of the sinking black and white stone from the ghost's memory.
"Beimingzhou, tribute!"
"That's actually what happened!"
There was a hint of surprise in Zhou Haochen's eyes.
The ghost he had just killed was the messenger of the Yaksha Ghost King from the City of the Dead, sent to Beiming Continent to collect tribute.
Beimingzhou is a small stronghold of ghosts, which has taken refuge with the Yaksha Ghost King in the City of the Dead.
Among them, the black and white stone that sinks in water is a specialty of Beimingzhou, as it is offered as a tribute to the Yaksha Ghost King every year.
After learning the whole story, Zhou Haochen immediately understood what the three words "can expand" meant.
In Beiming Continent, there are veins of black and white stones that sink in water.
If you can grab it.
By practicing unlimitedly with the submerged black and white stones, Zhou Haochen estimated that he would be able to advance to the fifth level in ten days at most.
The most crucial thing is that the leader of the ghosts in Beiming Continent is not very strong, he is only at the peak of the sixth realm.
For Zhou Haochen, killing a ghost at the peak of the sixth realm is not a difficult task.
The only thing you need to be careful about is to avoid being surrounded by the ghosts in Beiming Continent, so as to avoid being bitten to death by ants.
After thinking for two seconds, Zhou Haochen came up with an idea. He pinched the magic formula in his hand, and the expression on his face changed.
In the blink of an eye, Zhou Haochen turned into the appearance of a ghost messenger.
