Chapter 27 27. The stars point the way
As night falls, the stars are dotted.
The red giant quietly left Taihang along the river.
Li Xi'an planned to follow the river in the Taihang Mountains into the Yellow River, and then go all the way back into the western plateau. The river cuts off the perception of the world and no one will know that he has left Taihang, which is much safer than his high-profile departure from Taihang.
The speed of the huge dragon body in the river is not much slower than in the sky. The reason for the slowness is that you can't walk in a straight line when swimming along the river, and sometimes you have to take long detours.
Deep in the river, fish and shrimps make their way.
The monster covered with iron scales swam past like lightning, so huge that it was difficult to see the whole thing. The winding body seems to be endless.
"Are you going to leave my golem in Taihang?"
In the dark and silent river bottom, a voice rang in Li Xi'an's ears.
"Not only the golem, I also gave him the key." Chi Jiao said calmly.
Before Li Xi'an left Taihang, he left behind the terrifying demon statue he obtained in the imperial capital. The golem planted the key deep in the souls of those clan elders, so he asked Qing Yan to refine the souls of those clan elders into ghosts. It can satisfy the wishes of these old people who don't want to reincarnate, and it can also facilitate Qingyan's control of the demon statue.
Although the golem has lost the thousands of souls it has stored since ancient times, once the golem is activated, its power is enough to withstand and even kill the great demon of the Yangshen Realm.
This was the golem's strength described to him by the bloody figure.
"You went to Kunlun Mountain, but you didn't even bring a demon statue that could withstand the Demon King of Yangshen. You placed it behind you. You are really confident that you are invincible." The voice sighed.
"If you want to say I am reckless, you can just say it."
The red dragon looked at the stars dotted on the night sky at the bottom of the river. There were words lit up there, like road signs. During the Da Zhu Ceremony, the Divine Dance of Supervisor Tian Si, who was engraved by heaven and earth, lit up the seal script in the sky. When the Da Zhu Ceremony ended, these ancient words still hung high in the sky, as if waiting.
"I'm not sure whether these star characters can still be manifested in the future, and I'm not sure whether there will be drastic changes in Kunlun in the west, so I can't wait any longer. Taihang is my hometown, and there can be no differences. A demon statue that is comparable to the realm of the Yang God That's all, just give it up." Li Xi'an didn't care.
The Yangshen realm, according to what this bloody figure said, is the fourth greatest realm in the cultivation path, and it is enough to be the king among thousands of creatures. Being able to condense the golden body of the soul, it is difficult to be killed completely. In his words, rising creatures are creatures that have just embarked on the path of spiritual practice. They have transformed from acquired to innate, which is the second state.
Qing Yan is now in the third realm, named Ju Ling. The monks of their time would forge their natal magic weapons in this realm, store them in the sea of consciousness and nourish them with essence and blood, and they would be great weapons against the enemy. He is now the Yang Shen after Ju Ling Realm, and can be called the Demon King of one side.
"But you are really a monster, you are only in Yangshen realm, but you can actually kill my incarnation."
"Don't talk about it for now. Do you really not remember the era when you were suppressed and the reason why you were suppressed?" Li Xi'an asked. This figure clearly remembered the division of realms, the path of cultivation, and some methods. , but knows nothing about what happened in the previous era. He was not worried that the figure would deceive him. The spirit inscribed in seal script by the Heavenly Cauldron could not have any other intentions. Li Xi'an's inquiry was just in the hope that the figure could recall it a little more.
"I'm not even a real spirit. I'm just a spirit that has been incarnated outside my body. Most of my memories were forcibly cut off when you used that weird cauldron to suppress me. Now I still have spiritual consciousness. I find it incredible that I am expected to remember these things." The figure spread his hands.
"As for what you said about why I still remember realm cultivation and many other things..." He shook his head, "These are too basic for us. Telling this information is as instinctive as eating and drinking."
The red dragon was silent for a long time.
"Is this the method of the true realm..."
The sixth great realm on the path of spiritual practice. Ancient books respectfully refer to the creatures at this level as "ancestors".
When asked how scary the "ancestors" of the True First Realm were, the bloody figure was very frank, saying that if he were an ordinary Yang God, his incarnation could be destroyed with a raise of his hand.
Raise your hand to destroy it. The living beings who are almost at the top of the world will be killed by raising their hands just facing an incarnation that has been suppressed for tens of millions of years.
The red dragon exhaled under the water, and a series of bubbles floated to the surface of the river and broke, creating ripples.
He still has a long way to go.
The water turns sharply, and there is a waterfall ahead, and the sound of thundering rapids is heard approaching. The red dragon is traveling westward, and the terrain goes from low to high.
The sound of splashing water scared away the deer drinking water on the shore. The water suddenly opened, and a huge creature raised its head, with a rugged face like a ghost face of red copper. The water flowed down his iron scales and large branch-like horns, forming another A small, short-lived waterfall.
The dragon-like creature stood up, its red body rising like a ball of fire from the river.
He soon crossed the falls and dived back into the depths of the river.
When the last ripples spread to the river bank and disappeared, it seemed like nothing had happened.
…………
Kunlun, a rock cave on the mountain wall in the corner of the mountains.
This cave is dug into the cliff, and it can leave deep white marks on the mountain like a ruthless wind blowing through it.
There is a fox statue enshrined at the entrance of the cave, with four sticks of incense and flaming red couplets on both sides.
Really festive.
"Lord Fox Immortal, spare your life, spare your life! I will definitely work hard to practice, and I will definitely satisfy you!" In the cave, a middle-aged man kowtowed vigorously, his fat body curled up, as if to make himself Tucked into the crevices of the rocks.
The direction his head was facing was dark and silent.
"Master Fox Immortal! Master Fox Immortal!" The man's voice was almost roaring, tears and snot mixed with tears sliding down his cheeks.
Some were eaten into the mouth, and some dripped to the ground.
Around the man, there were several figures sitting cross-legged. They looked at the crying man without any fluctuation in their eyes. Their faces were as shiny as glaze, and they were closer to porcelain dolls than people.
A pair of dark blue phoenix eyes opened high in the darkness, looking down at the man.
"Actually, I also trust you very much, and believe that you will definitely cultivate Dafa..." said a charming and lazy voice. Before the man heard this, his smile appeared, and the voice sounded again: "But one person must go out every day. , This is our rule. Didn’t you just throw away the person who was competing with you a few days ago? At that time, you fully agreed with this rule.”
The man's pupils shrank sharply, and his crying expression froze.
"Then I want to compete with her!" He raised his head, with a ferocious face, and pointed with his finger at the young girl sitting cross-legged in the corner of the cave.
"Okay, okay." The voice in the darkness said calmly, "After all, this is our rule."
"Wu Jinyao, your uncle wants to compete with you..."
