Chapter 150: The Divine Weapon Recognizes Its Master and Is Destined to Become Its Nemesis Xiao Yi opened his eyes. He was already at the entrance of the secret realm. There was no one around. He couldn't help but sigh, "Everyone has their own specialty. It's really hopeless. It seems that I am the first one to come out. Did I lose too quickly?" Clang—— Suddenly there was a loud sound of swords clashing, and a burst of energy. The earth shook and mountains began to tremble, and gravel fell from above. Xiao Yi stumbled and quickly held onto the stone wall, saying in shock: "What happened?!" It sounded like the sound was coming from the well. Xiao Yi frowned and immediately used his internal energy to flash and perform the "Lightning Step" to climb up to the wellhead. He quietly popped his head out, a strong wind whistled past and a flash of knife almost cut off his head. Xiao Yi's forehead was covered with sweat. He looked forward and saw a battle breaking out on the large square, with swords flashing and sparks flying everywhere! Four stone pillars formed a formation, illuminating an area of a hundred meters, and the stone sculptures on them seemed to come alive. The Azure Dragon is thundering, the White Tiger is howling at the wind, the Vermillion Bird is breathing fire, and the Black Tortoise is controlling the water. With the combination of magic formations, the four sacred beasts are mobilizing the power in the field to surround and kill the seven people in the middle. But above the battlefield, there were constant strong winds and raging thunder, and the earth was rolling endlessly, as if an invisible giant hand was kneading it wantonly, with a huge momentum. However, no matter how fast the formation's attack was, the seven people in the field remained motionless - a huge golden bell covered the seven people's heads, sprinkling fine golden light, and any attack would be dispelled at the touch! ——A top-grade earth-level divine weapon, [Jingyun Bell].
The leader was wearing a white monk's robe, with a smile on his face, looking calm and composed. It was the White Lotus Sect's Maha King Gu Ming, whom he had met once before. Outside the formation, Zeng Yiming's face was full of anger. He was making hand seals and presiding over the formation. Magical power was emanating from his hand seals. Three people pressed on his shoulders and back, infusing them with power, while the others were on guard all around, ready to take over. Xiao Yi knew at a glance that the White Lotus Sect was causing trouble again. But what about the rest of the people? "You came out by yourself?" A voice sounded, Xiao Yi looked up and found that it was Yuan Jiuzhou, the "Jiang Liujian" from Mingjian Villa. The weapon in his hand was no longer the black wooden sword, but a deep blue long sword - even if grass, wood, bamboo and stone could be used as swords, the lethality of an iron sword would definitely be stronger than that of a wooden sword. This was a serious matter. Xiao Yi said: "It's just me. What's going on?" "Leave it alone for now." Yuan Jiuzhou looked solemn, holding a sword in one arm to guard against the masters in the formation, and said quickly: "We will block them, you immediately remind the others to withdraw quickly! Once you leave, there will be no worries, and things will be easier." Xiao Yi said helplessly: "This is Liu Hou's illusion array. It is hard to distinguish the real from the fake. I didn't see anyone else in there! How can I warn you? They are here for the artifact, right?" "Yes!" Yuan Jiuzhou glanced down, his face showing anxiety: "I wonder how the young master is doing..." "You don't have to worry too much. It's definitely safer inside than outside." Xiao Yi said: "I'll go down and keep an eye on them. Whoever comes out will go first!" "it is good." Yuan Jiuzhou was a little surprised and had a much better impression of him. At least he didn't run away directly. Xiao Yi returned quickly and looked at the barrier with worry: "What should we do? The fighting outside is getting more and more fierce. Yuxu Peak is not in the Central Plains. Once the stalemate of the battle spreads out, the evil demons from all directions will gather together, which will be even more troublesome! Sitting and waiting for death is not a solution. Try to attack and see if you can alert the people inside!"
Xiao Yi took out the wheel blade, swung it and shot it towards the white light barrier. As a result, the Qi attack disappeared immediately as soon as it hit the barrier. The wheel blade also lost its power instantly and fell straight to the ground. The bells above continued to ring, becoming louder and louder, and Xiao Yichou's scalp was tingling below. Immediately afterwards, the second person came out, Xue Wei from the Yin-Yang Taoism. Then there is the third person, Tang Xinxue from the Tang Clan. Then comes the fourth person, Wudang Ye Zongyuan. at this time. The sound in the well suddenly became louder, the sky became dark, the wind howled, and sand and stones flew. There was also a faint sound of wolf howling! When they heard the voice, the faces of those who had come out from underground changed. "Northern Yuan Wolf Riders?!" Ye Zongyuan's face changed drastically, and he immediately rushed to the wellhead and looked to the north. Under the Yuxu Mountain, in the vast plain, a huge tornado was rushing towards them, with rolling yellow sand and thick black fog. Behind the tornado were hundreds of aggressive wolf riders. Amid their roars, the situation took a turn for the worse! Zeng Yiming noticed the movements of the wolf riders, and his expression became uglier: "Why hasn't Master appeared yet? Is he resisting the enemy's fifth realm?" Wang Guming in the formation laughed instead and the counterattack began. Seven streams of light and seven magical images rushed into the formation swiftly! …… There are fast and slow ways to play chess. Some people lose quickly, some people win quickly. Zhao Wumian knew that the situation outside would not be stable, so he made his moves quickly. The same goes for Zhang Liang. He is just a remnant soul that relies on a magical artifact to exist. In the game, he is just an AI program with a fixed algorithm. He does not have and does not need to "think" and can respond to any move made by him. His speed is equally fast. You hit me, I hit you. Before one side puts down a piece, the other side has already made a move. Soon the battle lasted for more than a hundred moves, and the air was filled with smoke. Zhao Wumian finally picked up the black piece and raised it up, then dropped it. With a click, the sound of metal and stone was heard, and Zhang Liang's dragon was beheaded! The dust has settled. The chessboard is full of jagged edges and murderous intent. Zhang Liang nodded sincerely: "Good move." He raised his eyes to look at Zhao Wumian, his gaze gentle: "Your talent and understanding are beyond reproach, but to be the master of a heavenly-grade divine weapon, you don't just rely on these two things." Zhao Wumian raised his eyebrows: "With great power comes great responsibility? Is Sima Quehun such a person?" Zhang Liang heard the disdain in his words and smiled slightly: "He is just an accident. Besides, he is not the master of the Heavenly Book, so his requirements are naturally not high. Even if he is a disaster, it is difficult to become a big disaster without the Heavenly Book. You are different... Do you know the magic soldier [Tiger Soul]?" Zhao Wumian: “…” Zhang Liang stood up, looked at the beautiful scenery of the virtual world, and talked eloquently: "In ancient times, Chi You and Huang Di fought for a hundred years, and were defeated step by step, and were deeply resentful. One night, he saw a strange star falling from the sky, and hurriedly tracked it down, and found that it was an alien monster from outer space. The monster was extremely cruel, and it loved to eat human flesh, and it could eat skin and turn bones into bones. Chi You was secretly happy, knowing that if he refined this thing, it would become a magic weapon to resist the [Xuanyuan Sword], so he kept feeding it with people, and finally even his own flesh and blood became nutrients. After the monster devoured tens of thousands of people, it accumulated endless resentment and finally turned into a strange stone. Chi You wanted to refine it into a weapon, but the monster actually attacked him. Chi You's mount, the war tiger, was eager to save its master and swallowed the monster in one gulp. However, Chi You was only afraid that the magic weapon would be damaged, so he ignored the loyalty of the war tiger and pulled out the war tiger and the monster with one hand. At that time, the monster and the war tiger had become one, turning into the most vicious tiger soul. Thousands of people died under this knife... All things in the world are interdependent, there is light and shadow, there is good and evil, there is righteousness and evil. "
He turned to look at Zhao Wumian: "Chi You once used his magic weapons to bring disaster to the world, and King Zhou of Shang also refined [Emperor's Hatred] to counter King Wu's [Qing Lu]. Every heavenly-grade magic weapon is born with great luck and has its own destiny. When you take over the Heavenly Book and gain the power of the magic weapon, you naturally have the responsibility to eliminate the disaster of water and fire. This is the fate of the Heavenly Book, and also the fate of its owner." Zhao Wumian's mind raced, and there was indeed such a saying. Divine weapons, like their masters, had their destined opponents. The biggest opponent of the [Eight Diagrams] is the [Tomb Tiger Talisman] refined by Sima Yi. Without this magical weapon, Wu Hou would have already captured the Yongliang area and advanced into the Central Plains. However, the [Tomb Tiger Talisman] had long since disappeared and its whereabouts were unknown. However, the opponent of the Heavenly Book is still on earth. ——The marshland and rivers are included in the war map, how can the people live happily? According to legend, Huangdi was assisted by Yinglong and Xuannv, and Chiyou was also assisted by Fengbo and Yushi. Xuannv gave the [Yellow Stone Heavenly Book], which can help people gain enlightenment and control the earth; Yu Shi also has the [Zeguo Battle Map] which has the power of divination and can turn the plains into vast swamps. The two are relative. During the Shang and Zhou dynasties, this item was in the hands of Shang Rong. During the Chu and Han dynasties, the Heavenly Book appeared and the battle map disappeared. After that, the Heavenly Book disappeared. However, the Zeguo Battle Map appeared in the Three Kingdoms period. The one who owned it was Zhou Yu, the commander-in-chief of the Eastern Wu navy. After Zhou Yu died early, the battle map also disappeared. Good bye. Save trouble! Zhao Wumian said: "Okay, I'll take it. If [Zeguo War Map] brings disaster to the world, I won't just stand by and watch." Zhang Liang nodded and waved his hand. An unfolded ancient scroll appeared in the illusion in front of him, floating in the air. It is engraved with tadpole-shaped gold characters, which are winding and reveal a majestic charm. Just looking at it makes people feel that their souls are nourished, as mysterious as wandering in the sea of stars. There is endless emptiness above, below, left and right. Standing on it, one's mind is focused and ethereal, as if everything in the world is in one's mind. The skills learned in the past actually begin to self-deduct, improve and strengthen. One flash of inspiration after another attracts people to sink into it. Even Zhao Wumian couldn't help but be obsessed with this feeling and wanted to immediately create a martial art that perfectly suited himself. But now is not the time. Zhao Wumian quickly closed his eyes and broke free from the strong desire for knowledge. Zhang Liang nodded secretly. With such self-control, he thought that he would not be easily bewitched and led astray. "One thousand five hundred years." Zhang Liang looked at the letter and said with a smile, "You finally got what you wanted. You can't wait any longer, right?" hum! [Huangshi Heavenly Book] jumped for joy, released a burst of true energy, and ripples appeared in the space, sweeping in all directions like a hurricane! Then, it flew straight into Zhao Wumian's hands. Zhao Wumian reached out and held it. Acknowledgment is completed. The rest were directly expelled from the barrier! At that moment, Zhao Wumian's consciousness was connected with the Heavenly Book, and the earth energy in his palm was vast, as if he was holding the entire Yuxu Peak!
He “saw” the barrier formation, the confused people being forcibly driven out of the barrier, the two sneaky figures hiding underground, the fierce fight on the well, the raging tornado, and the bloodthirsty wolf howls… [Eight Formation Diagram] has a huge amplification effect. Once activated, the range of the formation can be increased to about twenty miles. [Yellowstone Heavenly Book] is much smaller in range, only five or six miles, but its control over the earth's energy is stronger! To use the magic of the Eight Diagrams, one needs to make seals and cast spells, and mobilize the vitality of heaven and earth. But with the Huangshi Heavenly Book in his hand, it feels as if the area within a five-mile radius is an extension of his own hands and feet, which he can use whenever he wants, whether attacking or defending. Controlling it is as natural as breathing! "What a wonderful feeling..." The situation is critical. Now that I have the Heavenly Book, there is no time to appreciate it. I have to retreat quickly! Zhao Wumian turned to leave, but suddenly stopped and looked back at the gentle figure: "Senior, can we meet again?" He always felt that this remnant soul was a little strange. Was it a weapon spirit, or some special existence? For example, those spirits in the sixth realm? Zhang Liang chuckled, his smile showing a bit of carefreeness and freedom: "Make good use of the Heavenly Book, you and I...will meet again if we are destined to." After saying this, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and dissipated between heaven and earth. "I always feel like there's something else behind your words..." Zhao Wumian was helpless. He hated speaking in such a vague and unclear way the most, but unfortunately there was nothing he could do. Zhao Wumian shook his head and looked outside the barrier: "With the earth energy in hand, let's kill these two evil people first!" …… "what happened?" "Just came out suddenly?" "Is there something wrong with the barrier?" Pei Zuo was playing chess intensely in the middle stage when he was suddenly kicked out. He turned around and looked around. Bu Xiaochen, Zhang Guangxian, Li Tianran, Xu Qiong, Zhuge Qian and others also looked puzzled. He finally looked at Lu Guangda, who was most familiar with the place: "Has this happened before?" Lu Guangda's face was solemn, and he shook his head: "No! Previously, they were kicked out after losing, and the barrier needs to be nourished by the earth's energy for about six hours to recover. This kind of interruption has never happened before." Li Tianran frowned and asked, "Is it because there are too many people that the duration of the test was shortened?" Lu Guangda still shook his head: "Only the time of initial entry is counted. If you can enter, there is no problem. It doesn't matter how many people there are. We have tried it before. Seven years ago, I went in with more than 20 fellow apprentices. That time we lasted the longest. I deliberately took every step carefully. A game of chess lasted for three hours. The test has been there all the time. How long has it been? It must not be this reason..." "It's not this, could it be..." Li Tianran's face changed, and the others also reacted. Li Tianran quickly looked around, but didn't see any trace of Zhao Wumian. His heart skipped a beat and he almost called out his name, but luckily he controlled himself: "...Where's Hua Qianshu? And Monk Xin!" Although he was not really there, Li Tianran was almost certain that it was Zhao Wumian who caused this situation! "Yes, there are two missing." "Where are they?" "It's not still in there..."
Everyone looked at each other, hesitant. The sound of fighting was heard from the well, and there was another earth-shaking and rustling of sand and rocks. "There's a fight going on up there!" "what happened……" Xiao Yi hurriedly squeezed into the crowd and said quickly: "Don't worry about it for now, hurry up! The situation outside is not good. Wang Guming is coming with the masters of Zoroastrianism, Snow Mountain Temple, and Evil Valley! There are also Mobei General Wang Baobao, He Zongzhe, and four hundred wolf riders. Those people can't hold on, we must retreat quickly!" As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in a panic and at a loss. But they were all talented people after all, and they soon calmed down. "Wang Guming and Mobei are attacking together?" "These are a bunch of traitorous bastards!!" "But there are still people inside, and the situation is still unclear." "Yeah, if we all leave, if something goes wrong, won't they be dead?" Some people want to leave, some want to stay, and some people are worried about others. "madness!" Lin Xianrong in the underground laughed in his heart, thinking bitterly: "Hua Qianshu doesn't need you to worry about him..." Her armored face revealed an expression of jealousy and resentment. She released her spiritual consciousness, held the soul-stealing needle, and stared at the entrance of the barrier: "Such a strange movement is definitely not ordinary. He really got it..." The same goes for Tian Fan. With his knowledge of Buddhism, he couldn't help but sigh at this person's high qualifications and great blessings! That’s a heavenly artifact! When he sensed fluctuations at the entrance to the barrier. Tian Fan's eyes lit up, and he concentrated and whispered, "Watch out! He's coming out!" "Yes!" Lin Xianrong secretly practiced his internal energy while the two of them were ready for battle. Little did they know that behind them, the sand was quietly gathering and dispersing, and three sharp stone spikes were rapidly solidifying... (End of this chapter)
