The northernmost part of the 'Red Sky Mortal Realm' is a barren desert. There are no human habitations here, only patches of golden color.
Waves of sand surged forward one by one, like an invisible giant hand, peeling off one layer after another of the desert.
However, in this desolate place, there were actually two figures moving forward with difficulty.
Two solid and clear footprints were left in the vast sea of sand. The hot sand sea spread the heat through their feet and throughout their bodies. Under the scorching sun, the desert seemed to be roasting on a stove, with blazing heat waves.
It swept through every inch of the land, making people breathless.
Two figures, one old and one small, although their faces were full of exhaustion, they did not flinch at all.
These two people were undoubtedly Ye Junlin and the ghost possessing Yang Jing. They set out from Ziyun City and walked for more than ten days to this desert.
"I think back then, this place was also a lush forest. There was no yellow sand, no war, and people lived happily here..." Guiyou said, with a trace of relief on his face.
But this glimmer of relief disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"It's all my fault! A moment of greed has harmed the entire 'Red Ghost Sect'." Guiyou said, with an expression of self-blame.
"It's in the past."
For the first time in history, Ye Junlin actually said a word of comfort to Guiyou, which made Guiyou a little 'flattered'.
"Tell me about that sword!" In order to avoid arousing Guiyou's sadness again, Ye Junlin hurriedly changed the topic.
"Let's talk about that sword!" Guiyou said thoughtfully: "I don't know its origin. Anyway, it has been placed under the 'altar' since I was born. For countless years, I have never seen anyone take it.
Had it..."
"Aren't you cheating on me?" Ye Junlin's face showed a trace of displeasure.
"Oh? What do you say? Why did I trick you again?" Guiyou was puzzled by Ye Junlin's words.
"First, after a thousand years, who knows if that sword is still there? Second, even if it is still there, are you sure I can pick up that sword?"
"Haha..." Guiyou laughed: "Don't worry, none of the people who invaded my 'Red Ghost Sect' back then would be able to hold that sword."
"Then you are so sure that I can take that sword?" Ye Junlin refused.
"If it were you..." Guiyou pondered for a while and said slowly: "I think it should be okay."
"Okay, I believe you once." Ye Junlin said without confidence.
...
...
After walking for several days, the two of them climbed up a huge sand dune.
From the sand dune, looking around, I saw a ruined wall in front of me.
The stone pillars broken into two sections, the damaged stone door, and the collapsed houses seemed to tell people what kind of disaster they had suffered.
Guiyou suddenly knelt on the sand dune and covered his head with his hands. This once all-powerful man actually hugged his head and cried: "It's all me, it's all my greed, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you...
..."
Looking at this 'old man', a soft part in Ye Junlin's heart was suddenly touched.
"Forget it, it's been a thousand years. I believe they should have forgiven you." Ye Junlin said, pulling up Guiyou who was kneeling on the ground, and then said solemnly: "Don't act like a coward and blindly
Pain and regret. If you were a man, dig the graves of your enemies so that they would not be able to live in peace even if they were dead."
Ye Junlin's words were cold, but to Guiyou's ears, it was like a warm current flowing into his heart.
"You're right!" Guiyou stood up, wiped the tears from his face, and continued walking forward with Ye Junlin.
Ahead is a huge square.
Although the stone slabs and pillars in the square have experienced thousands of years of wind and frost, their style is still the same as before.
Guiyou touched the stones and pillars with deep emotion in his heart. Scenes from thousands of years ago vaguely appeared in his mind: those days when the grass was growing and the orioles were flying, those days when the summer was scorching, those days when it was drizzling and falling, those days when the snow was white.
day......
Years, rumbling like this, rolled by year after year.
"Do you still remember that purple jade piece I asked you to buy for me?" Guiyou suddenly turned around and asked Ye Junlin.
"I remember." Ye Junlin thought about it for a moment, and then said calmly: "I've always wanted to ask you what it was."
"That thing is called a 'memory jade piece'. It is a unique contact method between my wife and I. Only she and I can open and read it." Guiyou said, and his words evoked infinite vicissitudes of life.
"Can you tell me what she said?" Ye Junlin suddenly became very interested.
"It's nothing, I just talked about some trivial matters." A strange light flashed in Guiyou's eyes.
"Oh." Ye Junlin didn't ask any more questions.
"I'll take you to find that sword." Guiyou said.
At the end of the square, there is a huge altar, which is engraved with countless densely packed runes and spiritual formations. The ancient atmosphere reflects the prosperity and power of the 'Red Ghost Sect' back then.
"This altar is called the 'Red Flame Altar', and it is the place where our 'Red Ghost Sect' worships the Sun God." Guiyou pointed at the broken altar and said, "The sword is under this altar."
After Guiyou said something, Ye Junlin's soul thoughts suddenly went under the altar and sensed it.
In an instant, a violent breath of fire, mixed with endless blood energy and sword intent, rushed forward.
"ah!"
Ye Junlin was shocked, and his soul thoughts suddenly came back.
"What a strong hostility." Ye Junlin took a deep breath and said, "What is the origin of this sword?"
"According to my ancestors, this sword fell from the sun."
"From the sun? This is too ridiculous." Ye Junlin said in disbelief.
"Indeed, it has its own soul and a blazing temperature. Not even the most powerful 'caster' in our 'Red Ghost Sect' can touch it." Guiyou said, with a trace of light in his eyes.
A look of reverence: "Ever since it fell, it has been kept there. Everyone calls it the 'Sword of God'."
"'Sword of God'?" Ye Junlin said with a smile: "That's a good name. Open it quickly. I can't wait to see 'it'."
"The key is with you." Guiyou pointed at Ye Junlin's space ring.
"Are you talking about, 'Red Ghost Golden Mirror'?" Ye Junlin asked.
Guiyou nodded, noncommittal.
Ye Junlin was half-convinced, and with a thought, the space ring on his hand shimmered, and the ghostly mirror "thinking about it day and night" appeared on his hand.
"Quick, quick, quick, put the 'golden mirror' on that groove." Guiyou said impatiently.
Ye Junlin felt a little doubt in his heart, but he still placed the 'Red Ghost Golden Mirror' on the groove.
In an instant, the densely packed runes on the 'Red Flame Altar' flashed, the 'Spiritual Array Diagram' also became gleaming, and a strong heat wave hit my face...
