Chapter 1112 Invitation from the Ghost Emperor (two chapters in one)
On Guixu Mountain, Xu Tong and Ziyang Zhenjun were sitting on the ground. Xu Tong held a hookah pipe in his hand and started smoking slowly.
Smoke and clouds were lingering, and Zhenjun Ziyang on the side was talking about the affairs of heaven in a leisurely manner.
Heaven, the world that all practitioners yearn for, was once the garden of heaven for all the gods.
But I don’t know since when, the nature of heaven has slowly changed.
Control over all things, control over the gods.
Gradually, the emergence of Tiantiao made the gods completely slaves of heaven.
Although the second generation of gods headed by the Queen Mother of the West has gradually faded out of people's sight, his control over the gods has become increasingly powerful.
Many gods are more like slaves than gods, but they live a more comfortable life compared to other slaves.
As a great man of the generation said, where there is oppression, there is resistance.
So some gods chose to rebel against heaven.
It's just as King Li Tian said, there are many people who rebel against heaven. In the end, they were suppressed and eliminated, their souls were scattered, and even their names and orthodoxy were erased.
It's just that there is a lineage among them. Although it has never succeeded, it has never disappeared.
That is the one who defies heaven.
Defy the sky and challenge the gods.
This vein either does not appear, or once it appears, it will cause great uneasiness to the gods.
Especially when the third heaven-defying person appeared and was able to break the restrictions of the gods, he almost overturned the heaven.
"That time, the gods of the five directions took action personally, using the power of the stars in the nine heavens, taking the blood of living creatures from all over the world, and beating the opponent to pieces."
Zhenjun Ziyang pinched his beard and talked about that period of history. It was also the first time that Xu Tong heard the story from the Nine Immortals Cauldron.
There are so many stories about Chinese gods, and even the literary creations of later generations are flourishing. There are many prototypes of the stories, which may be adapted from part of the stories intercepted from a certain god.
But there are no stories related to the Nine Immortals Cauldron. Even though this tripod eventually became the treasure of Qingcheng Mountain, the Qingcheng Mountain headmasters of all generations did not know the true origin of this cauldron.
True Lord Ziyang continued: "Five hundred years later, the fourth heaven-defying person appeared, and his magical powers were even more bizarre."
When Xu Tong heard this, he immediately became energetic.
Because I still haven’t figured out what the fourth inheritance is.
"This person is not only a master of Taoism, but he also has a mirror of all karma. The wonderful thing about this mirror is that it can reflect his own karma and karma. If a god is mirrored by this mirror, his whole body's karma will burst out. At least his strength will be greatly damaged.
Otherwise, he will be burned by the fire of karma on the spot, and he will be the nemesis feared by the gods."
"Wanye Mirror?"
When Xu Tong heard this, he thought, could it be that the halo around him was the cause and effect karma reflected in the mirror of all karma?
Master Ziyang then listed one by one the unique miraculous skills of each of the heaven-defying people, but every time he mentioned one, his face became a little more sad and even guilty.
"The ninth one who rebelled against heaven held a cauldron to defeat the heavens. The gods of the five directions, the four poles and the six emperors were all no match for him. It was not until the Queen Mother of the West set up a sail in Kunlun and set up an altar to capture his soul and kill his gods that all the gods joined forces to kill him.
kill."
When he said this, Zhenjun Ziyang looked at Xu Tong, and his eyes suddenly became hot.
"Since ancient times, the Nine Supreme Techniques, Queen Mother Xi and the others have known about the lineage of the Heaven Defying Ones for a long time, but they have always refused to take action easily, just because the ninth Heaven Defying Ones appeared and killed them, completely cutting off the lineage of the Heaven Defying Ones.
Luck, but I didn’t expect that you were born with luck and rose up in response to the calamity. This Nine Immortal Cauldron fell into your hands, which completely eliminated the calamity of the Nine-Nine Return to One."
Xu Tong frowned secretly when he heard this, because in Zhenjun Ziyang's words, it was not difficult to hear that the shadow of fate was still affecting him.
After Zhenjun Ziyang chatted with Xu Tong for a while, he told Xu Tong to be careful.
"The decree to hunt him down was issued by Queen Xi's mother herself."
The specific reason is probably that besides being a heaven-defying person, there is another reason.
"You have a key on your body, which is the key to open Guixu Mountain. This is probably why Queen Mother Xi couldn't wait to kill you."
True Lord Ziyang pointed to Guixu Mountain at their feet.
It is rumored that there is a power that can shake the three realms hidden under Guixu Mountain, and it has always been regarded as a forbidden place by the gods.
The east, west, hell, heaven, and even the land of the underworld have invested a large number of troops in this battlefield to compete with each other, fighting for the ownership of this place all the time.
"key!"
Xu Tong frowned, knowing that it was the key Lilith had given him, and he suddenly thought of the door he had seen in his fate.
“What exactly is in Guixu Mountain??”
Although he has clearly seen through fate that there is a huge altar in Guixu Mountain, he still has no idea what is in it.
"this……"
True Lord Ziyang pinched his long beard and looked troubled for a moment.
After a moment of silence, listen to him say: "There are many rumors, but I am afraid only those second-generation gods will know what they are."
Xu Tong nodded and did not ask any more questions. He just looked at the faint thread of fate on Zhenjun Ziyang's body, said "offended" and then lightly hooked his fingers on Zhenjun Ziyang's thread of fate.
Through the thread of fate of True Lord Ziyang, in an instant, what appeared in front of Xu Tong was a scene of the sky collapsing and the earth shattering, as if it was the end of the world.
I saw chaos in the sky, and broken corpses of gods kept falling.
In that chaos, the figure of [Tai] suddenly descended into this world, and with his hand, a huge divine light irradiated the universe. Ziyang Zhenjun was the first to be affected, and turned into ashes in this brilliant divine light.
The fate of Zhenjun Ziyang ended here. Xu Tong gave up the thought and felt extremely heavy in his heart.
He knew that in front of him was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and soon the gods of death headed by [Tai] would arrive. When the time comes, the gods would fight in chaos, and he, himself included, would most likely perish in this battle.
The most terrifying result is to cause the collapse of all realms. At that time, everything will turn into nothingness.
In fact, Zhenjun Ziyang had already had a premonition of his fateful ending, and it was precisely because of this that he decisively joined Xu Tong's side.
Although doing this has already violated the laws of heaven, it is better than dying and acting as a lackey of heaven.
"Now that the God of Death has revived, Queen Mother Xi and the others are also in a state of distress. The gods are unkind and sacrifice thousands of living beings, setting up formations in an attempt to wipe out the God of Death. However, from Pindao's point of view, the plan of Queen Mother Xi and others may not be feasible.
.”
After Zhenjun Ziyang finished speaking, he looked at Xu Tong, his eyes filled with the last trace of expectation. He stood up and bowed to Xu Tong:
"I have been cultivating the world for a long time, but the doom has come. I don't dare to have any illusions. I just ask my friends to guard Guixu Mountain and give all living beings a glimmer of hope!"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Tong couldn't help but feel moved. In terms of seniority, he would not only call himself "ancestor", but also call him "senior".
How can I bear this great gift?
What's more, Ziyang Zhenjun knew that he might die in the war, but he still died generously, just to give all sentient beings a chance of survival. His courage and righteousness are really admirable.
"Senior, there is no need to be like this. In times of crisis, everyone should unite as one and overcome difficulties together. There is no need for so many gifts."
Of course, Xu Tong also had the second half of his sentence: "You should settle my labor fee first and then talk about it."
However, seeing True Lord Ziyang staring at him with such sincerity, Xu Tong was still embarrassed to say these words.
"Head, some players want to join our team."
At this time, Gao Zhuo received news from the team channel.
Those players whose restrictions were unlocked by Xu Tong immediately wanted to use prop cards to escape.
Even if I return to reality, I plan to hide for a while before talking about it.
As a result, after activating the prop card, they discovered that they could not return to reality, so some players began to think about joining Xu Tong's team.
At least they don't want to make pigs and dogs for the gods anymore.
The strength shown by Xu Tong's team far exceeded their expectations. Now these players want to join Xu Tong's team because they hope Xu Tong can protect them.
What's strange is that some of these players actually started to spread the word that Xu Tongcai is the true god who saves the world.
Obviously, ignorance and ignorance do not matter whether you are a player or an ordinary person.
After thinking for a moment, Xu Tong did not agree or refuse, but asked Gao Zhuo to tell these players that they would soon go straight to the upper battlefield and participate in the battle of the gods. If they are willing, they can follow him. If not
If you are willing, you can provide a boundary-breaking teleportation beacon and force them to leave.
Amei and the others have not yet entered the battlefield area. With the Sun Battleship as their support, it is not difficult to send these players away.
After giving the instructions, Xu Tong walked down the mountain with True Lord Ziyang, and found that Lord Longxu and the golden-armored general who had come to seek refuge before were waiting for him at the foot of the mountain.
Only Nezha's whereabouts were nowhere to be seen, but most likely he was going to find trouble with his father, King Li Tianwang.
The blood feud between the enemy father and son is maintained by the divine mark. Now that Xu Tong has unlocked Nezha's divine mark, he is afraid that King Li Tian will not be able to sleep peacefully during this period.
Not to mention the enemy father and son, the attitude of the two people in front of them, Master Longxu and General Jinjia, was the same as that of Master Ziyang.
They know their fate in their hearts, but the difference is that before, they could only choose to be cannon fodder for the second-generation gods such as Queen Mother of the West, but now they are willing to stay by Xu Tong's side, even if they are in despair, they will help him.
"There are many gods like us in the heaven, but they are subject to the rules of heaven. The three of us will return to the middle battlefield later to help you deliver the message. There will definitely be many gods willing to help you!"
Zhenjun Ziyang had already discussed with Taoist Longxu and General Jin Jiatian, and planned to help Xu Tong spread the news about the return of the heaven-defying one.
This will not only further attack the power of heaven, but also allow more gods to side with Xu Tong.
Of course, this is not without risks. Once the three are caught, the ending waiting for them will not be so beautiful.
Xu Tong quickly advised them not to put themselves in danger, but the three of them were already determined to die at any time. After saying goodbye to Xu Tong, they left quickly.
Seeing the three people leaving, Xu Tong felt mixed emotions for a moment. He hesitated for a while and said to himself: "The labor fee is still not paid..."
Xu Tong returned to the Holy Spirit Castle, which temporarily became a gathering place for many players.
When Xu Tong came back, many players followed him, not only wanting to join the team, but also shouting to worship Xu Tong as the new god.
Xu Tong simply ignored these players who had lost their minds.
Most of the so-called gods were created by this kind of ignorance.
What I need is real helper, not these ignorant believers.
The first thing I did when I returned to the Holy Spirit Castle was to separate my thoughts and make elixirs.
The thoughts of the four gods of Yuande were trapped in the immortal furnace. They didn't know what was happening outside. When they saw Xu Tong, they immediately started to scream.
"Don't think that you are a person who defies heaven and offends the power of heaven. God-killing platform will be your fate!"
"Before you, there are nine other heaven-defying people. All of them are in disarray, their bodies are dead, and their spirits are gone. I advise you to let us go quickly. God is kind to you, and maybe you still have a chance to turn back!"
The four of them spoke to each other one by one.
However, Xu Tong seemed to have not heard their words at all. He used the Supreme Alchemy Technique and placed his hands on the immortal furnace to start refining the elixir.
When wisps of gaseous flames rose from the fairy furnace, the four of them immediately panicked.
Not long after, the voices of four people begging for mercy came from the fairy furnace.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute, we are the gods of Liuding and Liujia. We have been guarding the world for so many years. Even if we have no merit, we have worked hard. Please forgive us for our ignorance and let us go!"
"Excuse me, please forgive me. All this was ordered by King Li Tian and has nothing to do with the little god!!"
Unfortunately, Xu Tong still turned a deaf ear to their pleas for mercy. He now urgently needs to improve his strength.
Whether it is the Nine Immortals Cauldron or one's own understanding of the power of time, a lot of thought is required.
Moreover, both Gao Zhuo and Gu Xibai had a lot of injuries, especially after the battle between Gu Xibai and Nezha, the injuries on their bodies were too severe. I used the Great Sun Ruyi Furnace to heal his injuries, and now they are all gone.
heal.
"Zhenjun Ziyang has escaped from the bill, you four can't have sex for nothing!"
As Xu Tong destroyed the immortal furnace, in order to speed up the alchemy process, Xu Tong even accelerated the flow of time around him.
In the eyes of outsiders, Xu Tong was just sitting quietly by the fairy stove, but for Xu Tong, time was accelerating rapidly.
Originally, it would take at least several weeks to refine four gods in one breath, but as time accelerated, the screams and curses of the four Yuande people were quickly disappearing.
Only white smoke was seen rising from the furnace, and the distorted faces of Yuande and the four others could be seen in the smoke.
This is exactly the process by which their spiritual will is slowly stripped out of the immortal furnace.
Without the addition of auxiliary drugs, bits of golden light gradually appeared in the furnace, as the saying goes, "The gods are originally great elixirs, so why do they need hundreds of herbs to destroy them."
All that is needed is to refine all the spiritual will in their thoughts, and what remains will be the purest thoughts of the gods.
"Ding ding ding ding..."
There was a tinkling sound in the alchemy chamber of the fairy furnace, and pale golden thoughts rolled out from it. He picked up one and put it in his hand. He examined it carefully for a moment before Xu Tong's face showed a happy look.
You must know that the four Yuande people are not clones transformed by a wisp of spiritual thoughts like before, but their true selves.
Even if they are just a small little god, they have accumulated a lot of thoughts during the thousands of years they have been called gods.
Seeing that there were more and more thoughts about getting out of the Immortal Furnace, after the four people were all refined, a total of 6,700 thoughts were piled up in front of Xu Tong like a big bag of golden and flawless pearls.
These thoughts were divided into three, of which 4,000 thoughts were refined by Xu Tong himself, and the other 2,000 thoughts were given to Lao Bai.
He is a human immortal, and these thoughts will not improve his soul, but they can be transformed into pure energy to heal his injuries.
As for the last seven hundred thoughts, they were given to Gao Zhuo. After all, he had the least injuries, and seven hundred thoughts were enough for him to recover from his injuries and take his strength to the next level.
Don't think this number is small. You must know that when you became an immortal, you only had a hundred or so thoughts.
"It's a pity. It would be great if the master were here. If he could separate some of his thoughts, he could get rid of his identity as a ghost and immortal."
Xu Tong felt a little regretful in his heart.
Immortals are divided into five categories: ghost immortals, human immortals, earth immortals, heavenly immortals and divine immortals.
Although they are all immortals, they are not ranked in order.
But among them, the identity of Guixian is the most embarrassing. Call him weak. He is really weak because the threshold is too low.
But there are also some ghosts and immortals like Du Ziren, whose strength is terrifying and bottomless.
Not to mention, the Great Emperor of Fengdu, or even the prince of the mansion on the secluded mountain.
But if you say he is strong, it seems that there are only a few who are strong. The others, including the Ten Palaces of Hell, look at Xu Tong's current level, and it seems that they are just that.
The reason for this embarrassment is because the threshold for ghost immortals is so low that there is almost no room for improvement.
If there were people who could reach the level of Earth Immortal during their lifetime, none of them would become Ghost Immortals, so if they choose to undergo corpse restoration and recultivation, they would never become Ghost Immortals.
The master had no choice but to make the decision at the beginning.
If he had these 18,000 thoughts of gods, it would be enough for him to break free from his identity as a ghost and immortal.
When the time comes, with Master's talent, he may be able to practice faster than the eldest princess.
Just when Xu Tong was thinking about how his master and the others were doing now.
Suddenly, Xu Tong's mind moved, and he heard a bell ringing. The ringing was long and distant, but at first it sounded close to his ears, but it was actually thousands of miles away.
"Hey! Soul-inducing bell."
Hearing the ringing, Xu Tong was stunned for a second. Unexpectedly, he just thought of his master and the others and heard the sound of the soul-inducing bell.
This soul-attracting bell is the standard equipment of Yin Cao. When Yin Cao receives the soul, he will ring the bell to attract the soul.
"who is it?"
Xu Tong separated a thought, turned into a clone, followed the ringing sound, traveled thousands of miles in an instant, and arrived at the foot of a forest in just a moment.
Taking a closer look, he saw a man and a woman in the woods, standing there waiting for him to come.
And this man and woman are familiar to each other. They are Xie Qifanba whom he hasn't seen for a long time.
Seeing the two figures, Xu Tong was overjoyed and hurriedly flew down: "Seventh Master, Eighth Master, how come you are here?"
Xu Tong said and looked behind the two people, but unfortunately he did not see the figure he wanted to see.
"I don't dare. Now that you have achieved the immortal state, we should call you an immortal."
Fan Ba's face seemed to have only a serious expression from beginning to end, and he bowed his hand to Xu Tong as he spoke.
Seeing this, Xu Tong hurriedly ran away: "If you two hadn't come to rescue me back then, I would have been dead."
Xu Tong's words were not polite. If it hadn't been for the cold iron gourd the two of them had left for him, he would have been frozen to death in the witch world.
In addition, the two of them had a good relationship with him, and Xu Tong was not willing to take advantage of this.
"Hey, Brother Xu is still loyal enough."
Xie Qi, who was on the side, covered his mouth and said with a smile: "The two of us called Brother Xu here, and we came just on orders to deliver invitations to Brother Xu."
I saw Xie Qi sending an invitation to Xu Tong.
Xu Tong took it and didn't look at it, but couldn't wait to ask: "May I ask Master Qi, did the Lord reopen the underworld?"
The Lord of the Underworld used great tricks to hide the Underworld in time. Now the Underworld is in ruins after tens of thousands of years. Even Xu Tong has no chance of finding the real Underworld now.
Xie Qi shook his head: "The Emperor has issued an edict a long time ago. If this catastrophe fails, there will be no possibility of reopening the underworld."
"right!"
Fan Ba nodded and added: "We came here in advance to join the Southern Emperor and serve as the vanguard of the order."
Hearing this, Xu Tong was even more surprised. He picked up the invitation and took a look. Sure enough, it had Du Ziren's seal on it.
"The Ghost Emperor asked Brother Xu to go to the middle battlefield. When the time comes, hold the invitation and come to the Western Camp to meet you."
After hearing Xie Qi's words, Xu Tong couldn't help but start muttering in his heart.
At this time, inviting yourself to the mid-level battlefield and going to the opponent's base camp is very risky no matter how you look at it.
If when the time comes, Du Ziren turns his back and refuses to recognize anyone, I'm afraid he will never come back.
He doesn't think that his current strength can be compared with Du Ziren.
Seemingly sensing Xu Tong's concerns, Xie Qi had no choice but to explain: "Don't worry, little brother Xu, we and Tianting are not the same family. The Ghost Emperor invites you to go, and he will never do any harm."
This is true, Xu Tong was born in a seventh family after all.
So after thinking for a moment, he agreed, but not now, until he at least fully understands the inheritance of the Nine Immortals Cauldron.
After getting Xu Tong's reply, Xie Qifanba didn't stay any longer. After the two said goodbye to Xu Tong, they turned around and disappeared into the vast white mist, holding hands. They looked at the two of them flirting while walking.
, it’s not like he’s here on business, more like he’s here on a business trip...
