Chapter 646: Arriving at the foundation of Xuanmen
After almost a day and a half, Li Su finally arrived at the location indicated in the demon-killing order.
Looking at half of it buried in the clouds and mist not far away, the aura of heaven and earth is extremely rich, and the Taoist charm of the whole world is very active.
Although water is the main element, it is not alone. It is prosperous and fully demonstrates the concept that the best is like water, benefiting all things without competing for it.
Compared to Maoshan in Shangqing and Longhu Mountain in Tianshi, this place is not far behind.
There is no doubt that it is a paradise.
As for why such a good place was not occupied by Taoist Xuanmen, Li Su glanced behind him. If there was no demon-killing order to guide him, it would probably be difficult to find this place.
It is covered, surrounded by a large natural formation with a radius of tens of kilometers. Even if there are no clear coordinates in the Yudao Realm, it is difficult to enter. You will be confused by the formation outside and miss this place.
That formation is very special. It does not trap people, and it is an effect that will be noticed after entering the formation. Instead, it has an extremely special hiding ability that hides this huge paradise. Even if you pass by in a straight line, it is difficult to detect it.
.狉
The thinking in arranging the formation is quite strange, it can be regarded as ingenious and beyond ordinary people's expectations.
The person who designed this formation was probably not simple. With Li Su's understanding of the Dao, he only felt a slight abnormality, but could not find any flaws in it.
Shaking his head, he returned his attention to the towering mountain itself.
There are many imperial realms.
Dozens of strong fluctuations can be felt on the top of the mountain, and the power of the great avenue is continuously gathered. It is almost undetectable outside the formation, but when inside, one can feel that most of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this blessed land has been concentrated on the top of the mountain.
On top, only one or two tenths of it flows down.
It seems that the amount of energy required to unlock the Taoist secrets is quite high.
As for the people at the foot of the mountain, there are even more Yudao realms, almost thirty or so.
However, they are basically at the early stage of the imperial path, and basically at the perfect state.
There are more than ten at the top and more than thirty at the bottom. Now all the top combat power of Central Plains Xuanmen is gathered here, right?
In addition to the Yudao realm, there is the Enlightenment realm.
There were hundreds of people, and in addition to qualified people, there were also many people who came.
There are fewer people in the foundation-building realm. Among the three rankings, only the list of people can enter the foundation-building realm. There are less than a hundred people in total.
The aura is extraordinary. It is undoubtedly much stronger than ordinary enlightenment and foundation building. It should be said to be the future pillar of Xuanmen.
It would be very interesting if the monster discovered this and blocked the door.
The death of one person here is a huge loss to Xuanmen. If they were completely wiped out, it would be almost the same as beheading.
However, considering the situation of the formation outside, without guidance, it might not work even if the immortal comes, so Li Su just thought about it.
Put away the demon-killing order and go straight to the depths.
As soon as they approached the foot of the mountain, some Xuanmen disciples flew over. The team was a bit mixed, with five people in a group, all of whom were not from the same sect.
The leader is the Feijian Sect, a medium-sized sect from Shushan, a branch of the Sword Sect.
This sect also practices swordsmanship, but unlike the Shushan Sword Sect, they specialize in flying swordsmanship. Their ancestor once cut off the head of a Yudao realm monster hundreds of miles away with one sword and became famous all over the world. If he uses flying swordsmanship to keep him at a certain distance
, even for sects like Shangqing and Tianshifu, it will be quite a headache.
After all, the flying sword is too small, but it is still fast.
Although the main body is relatively weak, compared with the Shushan Sword Sect in close combat, it is far behind, but it still cannot be underestimated.
There are two of them, I don’t know them.
The Xiaomen, who are either casual cultivator disciples, are undoubtedly much worse in aura than those from Feijianmen.
There are two more that are very distinctive.
Journey to the West is divided into three realms, namely the heaven, the human realm, and the underworld.
These two people belong to the Xuanmen faction of the underworld. Not to mention their clothes are quite unusual. They are mainly dark green, heavy and full of dejection.
Their skills are also very spooky. It's okay during the day, but at night, it's hard to tell whether they are humans or ghosts.
Close the door!
One of the eight major sects of Taoism in the mortal world, its founder is said to be the judge of the underworld. The specific one is not clear. The reason for its creation is also very simple, which corresponds to the explosion of human population.
After the canonization of the gods, the number of humans increased at an extremely terrifying rate. Not only the Central Plains, but also the entire southern Zhanzhou entered the era of great explosion.
The gods in heaven undoubtedly have a deep understanding of this.
Yesterday, I saw hundreds of people building a village somewhere. I closed my eyes and then opened them, and then I realized, holy shit, it had become a small town.
So fertile.
Tianting Dao has added a large wave of troops because of the relationship with the gods, and all departments are crowded with people.
The underworld is different. Although it is said that after empress Tutu established reincarnation, in order to have a certain voice and control in the underworld, heaven blocked people, Xuanmen blocked people, and Buddhism also blocked people.
But an obvious problem is that the people in these three companies are all big bosses, that is, people in charge.
At first, it was nothing.
But with the explosive increase in population, the underworld soon couldn't bear it anymore. Not only were there too many people, but there were also too many things.
Especially in the Eighteenth Level of Hell, there is an urgent need for talents.
There is no way, in a place where people are sentenced to punishment, the jailer must have an excellent psychological value, and the excellent here does not mean the kind of mental abnormality, but the kind of hardness with a heart as solid as stone. There are requirements.
After all, the tone of the Eighteen Levels of Hell is for punishment, not torture.
Faced with this scene, the big guys couldn't sit still.
After all, they can't end up on their own, right? The rank is too low and the level is too low.
Therefore, expanding their membership has become their savings and extremely strong requirement.
Then Gumen, an organization that provided employment for the underworld, quickly came into operation, and its status within Xuanmen was not low. At least small and medium-sized sects, especially casual cultivators, did not dare to offend them at all.
After all, as long as you can't become an immortal, no matter how awesome you were during your lifetime, you will still be popular after your death.
It doesn't matter if you offend someone who can become an immortal. If you offend someone who can go to the underworld to work as a yamen servant, you really have to think about it.
"Another fellow Taoist is here."
The disciples of the Feijian Sect showed a smile on their faces and flew down directly. Those who were able to arrive here alone were all monks who participated in the demon-killing order and had also obtained the qualifications.
Although each list is placed five at a time, there are six rounds in total, and a total of ninety spots seems like a lot.
But when you consider that the total number of Xuanmen disciples exceeds 50,000, there is no doubt that their talents and talents are the best, and they are only one hundredth of them.
You must know that just being able to become a monk is one in a hundred, and being able to gain access to the foundation of Xuanmen is close to one in six hundred.
Such a person is almost equivalent to one in ten thousand.
A perfect genius, a being that most monks need to look up to.
Therefore, the disciples of Feijian Sect behaved very politely. They smiled before saying anything and said directly, cupping their fists. "Senior Brother, I haven't asked you about Gao's name. Is he a disciple of that sect? So that Junior Brother can lead you over."
Li Su said: "Shangqing Sect, Li Su."
The other party nodded and his smile became even brighter. As one of the top eight Taoist sects in the world, the Shangqing sect is naturally powerful and has a leadership position in the entire Taoist sect. He said directly: "It turns out that I am a senior brother of the Shangqing sect...
..”
Halfway through his words, his expression suddenly paused, then returned to normal immediately, and continued: "I am Chen Ming, from the Feijian Sect."
After saying that, he turned to look at his teammates and said directly: "Brothers, you continue patrolling. I will send this senior brother to where the Shangqing faction is stationed."
The other people looked at each other and nodded.
"Brother, please follow me!" Chen Ming jumped off the flying sword and landed in front of Li Su, making a gesture of leading the way.
Li Su glanced at the other party, nodded, and motioned for the other party to lead the way.
"By the way, from the third list report, it seems that our senior brother was in the second batch and directly ranked first on the list. It was almost two years ago. Why are you here now?"
"I have been practicing for a while." Li Su smiled.
"Really? Congratulations, senior brother. I think your level should have improved in the past two years."
"It's indeed gratifying. It's improved a lot. If something hadn't happened and I was released early, I might not have come back by now."
"So that's it. That senior brother is really lucky. The activation of Xuanmen's foundation is much smoother than expected. It may be activated in advance. It will be about a month at most. If you arrive late, you may miss it."
"Yeah?"
With no chance of catching a ride, Chen Ming led Li Su along the way, getting closer and closer to the majestic mountain not far away.
"Are we almost there?" Li Su said suddenly.
Chen Ming smiled and said: "That's right. I'm afraid there will be a delay here. We need to register first and make statistics to see if all the qualified people have arrived."
"is that so?"
"Yes!"
"I see, I'm really lucky for you."
"Lucky?"
"Yes, you lead me over here slowly, and your teammates are following behind. Are you escorting me? Not only that, there are also a large number of Xuanmen disciples coming here quickly. This kind of The registration method should be very difficult."
Li Su naturally discovered Chen Ming's anomaly immediately. Although he concealed the sudden meal very well, his senior brothers were another story.
Two of them didn't recognize the sect, and showed expressions of ecstasy and hostility.
The person in the door was much calmer, but his hand touched the chain hanging on his waist. It was the exclusive treasure of the door and it was also a magical power.
It comes from the underworld, it can lock the soul and soul, and it is very difficult to deal with.
Although they separated later, Li Su clearly saw the behavior of the four people. First, they notified them, and then they just hung up behind them.
Moreover, the distance is extremely close, less than one thousand meters in front and back.
They were also separated by a certain width, as if to ensure that even if they escaped, they could be blocked quickly.
Li Su was very curious about this.
Forget about being restrained, have Feijianmen and the other two eaten the courage of a bear’s heart and a leopard’s heart? Have they become so fat?
He is not an ordinary disciple, but one from the eighth generation of the Qing Dynasty. His political status is equivalent to that of a sect leader or a peak lord. The actions of a disciple of one sect against the leader of another sect are completely different in nature.
Following Li Su's words, Chen Ming's face froze. Not only did he find something unusual, but the people following him also felt it?
As companions, we often take action together during these times.
Those four people are not newbies and have a lot of practical experience, so they will not keep the distance too close, at least they will not rush forward rashly until the containment is completed.
Therefore, they were at least one thousand meters away and used Taoism to hide themselves.
How could he detect it from such a long distance?
Moreover, what did he say just now? A large number of Xuanmen disciples gathered here?
When the notification arrived, even if the fellow disciples over there took action, they had just set off, and the distance was almost twenty-five or six miles long. Even if the movement was larger than the four behind them, at such a long distance, he How was it discovered?
No, it doesn't matter how you discovered it.
The important thing is that since he can be discovered, it means that his strength is much stronger than Chen Ming imagined, far exceeding the news brought back by his elders.
"Brother, I don't know what you mean?" Chen Ming suppressed the panic in his heart and forced a smile.
"Really? Okay, we're almost there."
Li Su didn't look at the other party, but raised his head.
But in the blink of an eye, I saw several figures coming quickly. The auras of those who came were undoubtedly very strong, and they were all in the state of perfect enlightenment.
There are six people in total.
Among them, there are three Jumen, two swordsmen, and one Lingbao.
As soon as he arrived, one of the sword cultivators spoke up, "I didn't expect him to be so lawless with such a face."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his hand, and a flying sword with cold light suddenly appeared, "Just in time, I have been idle for several months."
Having said that, it’s time to take action.
"slow!"
On the side, the person guarding the door spoke: "Fei Han, what if you take action and kill him? Let's arrest him first and talk about it. After all, he is a member of the Shangqing faction. We still have to save some face for the other party and let them handle it on their own.
Better."
The sword cultivator was startled for a moment, and after thinking about it, he was right. The flying sword that was emitting an astonishing chill immediately cooled down.
"Don't let him get away."
"Don't worry, if you pierce the collarbone and lock the three souls, then the King of Hell is on his way. This life and death have nothing to do with him."
The gatekeeper sneered. He moved his palm, and the soul-locking hook came down vertically. Green fire appeared on it, which was extremely strange. Not only him, but the other two gatekeepers also moved, but there was a tinkling sound, like the underworld.
When he opened the door, someone from Netherworld came, and a trembling aura erupted, directly towards Li Su himself.
Looking at the other party's movements, Li Su frowned and his eyes became cold.
It was a bit strange at first and I wanted to talk about it.
But regardless of the sword cultivator's behavior or his rigid behavior, there was no doubt that it touched his nerves.
Especially the disciplined disciples.
The soul-locking hook is the most powerful means of arresting people. It is a Taoist and magical power, and it is also a magical weapon.
This hook has completely different powers depending on the level of cultivation.
The hook that is burning with green fire at this moment is really rare among the guards. It is only used when dealing with some vicious ghosts.
Not only is this hook powerful, but it also damages the soul. Once the hook hits the body and locks the soul, you will be severely injured on the spot and will be tortured by will-o'-the-wisp. The three souls will be burned directly, which is extremely painful.
What's even more terrifying is that this green fire will form pollution and contaminate the life soul.
For a monk, the three souls and seven souls are all important, but there is no doubt that among the three souls and seven souls, only the life soul belongs to him.
Once a person is born and dies, the seven souls leave the body, the heavenly soul returns to heaven, and the earthly soul returns to earth. Only the life fire intertwined with the true spirit belongs to him and will be thrown to the underworld.
Therefore, once this soul-locking hook hits him, the contaminated life soul will be burned all the time, and can only be taken out by going to the underworld.
This is a trick specially used to target some terrible evil spirits, so as to force them to give up their stay in the mortal world and go to the underworld.
And if it is used on the living, it will undoubtedly cause great pain, just like Ling Chi, and life is worse than death.
Regardless of the reason, using this method, Li Su was not interested in talking to the other party. As an eighth-generation disciple of the Shangqing Dynasty, this kind of behavior was enough for him to kill the other party.
As if they were convinced of Li Su, the three men directly threw their hooks and headed towards Li Su.
There are no extra movements, and there is no need for extra movements. The soul-locking hook that binds the door is neither gold, nor silver, nor iron. It is not a material in the real world, but comes from the underworld and is smelted with magical powers as fire.
Monks at the enlightenment level cannot resist unless they possess magic weapons of a certain level or above.
According to the information provided by the Shangqing Sect, the eighth-generation disciple in front of him did not have any treasures in that area.
In other words, from the moment he appeared, if he didn't escape immediately, the outcome was already doomed.
Just when the three of them looked at the motionless Li Su with cold faces and thought they had succeeded, Li Su suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed it, and the void waterway was gathered and shaped by him as if it had an entity, and turned into a stick.
He raised his hand and swept the stick directly on the three chains.
The Tao of Refining takes shape?
With an extremely simple movement, the faces of seven people, including Chen Ming, were instantly clear.
With a bang, the three soul-locking hooks that were a great threat to the soul were smashed to pieces by Li Su on the spot with a stick.
As mentioned before, the soul-locking hook is the most terrifying method for arresting people, and it is also equivalent to their destiny weapon, the foundation of Taoism.
As the soul-locking hook broke, Leng Li and the others were shocked, blood spurted out from the seven orifices, and the souls in their bodies were in turmoil.
Facing this scene, the faces of the remaining people changed greatly, especially the sword cultivator who was shocked and said: "No, he is in the Yu Dao realm!!!"
"Bold!"
"Who hurt my disciple?"
At this moment, an angry shout rang out, and a terrifying figure flew up from the other side of the mountain. It was the Yudao realm of Jumen. He felt the vibration of the disciple's life card, and he immediately woke up from the seclusion and rushed out in a rage. come over.
Following his actions, in an instant, dozens of Yu Dao realms at the foot of the mountain also opened their eyes.
what's going on?
As soon as he arrived, when he saw the condition of his disciple, the restrained Yudao realm completely went berserk, his pupils emitted an extremely cold light, there was a terrifying Yin Qi, a huge ghost door appeared behind him, and there was the sound of endless chains rattling inside.
"Who are you, and why are you so cruel? Let me be your disciple!!"
"Senior, this person is Li Su, Shangqing Li Su." The swordsmanship disciple endured the discomfort caused by the huge Yin Qi and spoke loudly. "We came to arrest him, but we didn't expect that he was actually in the Yudao realm. The three senior fellow apprentices did not investigate and were severely injured by him."
The pupils of the Jumen Yudao realm shrank, and he laughed angrily, "Okay, okay. I didn't want to meddle in other people's business at first. If you are looking for death, I can't blame you."
There was a loud boom, and terrible pressure fell from the sky, forming a huge black shadow that directly pressed on Li Su's body.
There was a ghost in the dark shadow, stretching out countless hands to grab at him, not only his body, but also his soul.
Faced with this scene, Li Su did not look at the black shadows covering him, but instead glanced at the open sword cultivator, turned his head, raised a finger, and said lightly: "Light!"
As soon as he finished speaking, his fingertips were like the sun, erupting with a shocking ray of light.
In an instant, the black shadow was like ice and snow, extinguished by the terrifying sunlight emitted by Li Su, and the infinite ghosts inside also screamed and died in an instant.
He stretched out his hand and grabbed the empty space. Different from before, he counted dozens of roads, dozens of roads, but he saw that the densely packed avenues were grabbed directly by Li Su. The avenues with a radius of several miles were closed by him. In the blink of an eye, his breath was gathered by him. He raised his hand.
One cut.
With a crackling sound, the gathered power of dozens of avenues turned into a ripple, swinging open the space and slashing directly towards the Jumen Yudao Realm.
The old man's face turned pale, and the eyes of the originally domineering Jumen Yudao realm almost bulged out when faced with this scene.
Seeing these dozens of intertwined moves, he felt chills all over and sweating profusely.
He shouted, and thousands of chains flew out, not for attack, but for defense, directly covering and wrapping him.
With a clang, the ripples of the avenue collided directly with the thousands of chains.
The terrifying power was exploding. Thousands of chains were suppressed by the ripples in Li Su's palm and collapsed. The extremely strong chains were completely unable to withstand the power of the ripples of the avenue at this moment. Not only were they cut into pieces, but also people were cut down.
flew out.
After several miles, he stopped. As the chain slowly disappeared, the Jumen Yudao realm spit out a mouthful of blood, his breath slightly confused.
Not only was he beaten back, he was obviously seriously injured.
A simple battle process, an astonishing battle result. At this moment, not only was the center of the battlefield silent, but several enlightened people were dumbfounded and turned pale.
Even when I woke up from a distance, the people in the Yudao realm who looked here were shocked and their expressions kept changing.
