The sky and the earth are icy blue, and the mountains and rivers are like snow.
The biting cold wind blew under the clear sky, as if ice blades were cutting into pieces and condensing the silence here.
Snowflakes fell from the sky and scattered in the cold wind.
A blue lake is like a sapphire inlaid on the top of the mountain. Snowflakes are falling and ripples are rippled on the surface of the lake.
At this time, deep in the lake, a shirtless figure was floating motionless in the cold water.
Her long hair was scattered in all directions, her skin was blue, and her eyes were tightly closed, like an ice corpse.
After a while, suddenly, the ice corpse opened its cold eyes, like two cold stars lighting up in the night sky.
A dark blue sword flew out from the bottom of the lake, and the ice corpse broke through the ice and moved, holding the sword and dancing.
Although he was in the Baizhang Lake, his skills and sword shadow were not slow at all.
"Whoosh!"
The thunderous sword light tore through the dense lake water like a bean curd, leaving behind a vacuum.
His movements became faster and faster, and the sword light formed a line and turned into a circle of dark blue thunder. Under the heavy pressure of the lake, an absolute space of three feet was opened up.
"Bang!"
A sword as strong as a mountain.
The snow-white water waves roared to the bottom of the water thousands of feet deep.
At this moment, the ice lake suddenly disappeared, and there was already a sea of blazing lava in front of him.
The blazing flames burned the cracked air, and the ice corpse that had just sunken into the lake suddenly transformed into a heroic young man, standing alone on a charred boulder, with long hair flying, and a pair of bloody eyes burning with murderous intent.
"roar!"
Suddenly, a loud roar tore through the sultry depression.
The silent magma beneath the ground burst into flames, and the flames soaring into the sky gathered into a two-headed monster, which charged towards the young man with its flaming fangs.
The young man's face seemed to have not yet awakened from the icy lake, but there was a cold smile on the corner of his mouth.
"boom!"
Two flaming beast claws instantly shattered his isolated rock, sparks flying everywhere.
I saw the young man jumping like a shooting star, and the dark blue sword flew close to him. In an instant, the five elements of vitality around him seemed like grass bandits seeing the emperor, trembling with fear and struggle.
The two-headed demonic beast roared and shattered the rocks, its demonic aura was shocking, and its true appearance was revealed in the flying flames. It had a one-horned wolf head, a tiger body and a leopard tail, with a mane of burning flames that hunted majestically, and its red demonic eyes stared at the sky.
Young man, murderous.
Suddenly, flame lotuses slowly bloomed in the sky above the magma hell, which was extremely strange.
The monster beast spit out two beams of flames, one bright and one dark, from its two bloody mouths, blasting towards the young man.
At the same time, the burning red lotus seemed to have heard the call and quickly gathered towards the dark blue sword shadow in front of the young man.
"The Fire God's Order: Thousands of Fires Pierce the Heart!"
Hearing a cold shout, the young man quickly shot out twelve karmas. The karma entered the sword, and the dark blue sword instantly glowed with blood.
A ray of sword light cut down like a falling star.
The monster's two huge heads rolled to the ground, and the gushing blood of the beast burned into smoke in the sea of fire.
The firelight went silent, the scenery changed rapidly, and the young man was already in a dark ancient cave.
…
"You're back."
There was a moment of silence in the cave, and an ancient voice floated from directly in front of him. There was a man in black robes sitting on an ancient stone seat.
The young man leaned over with his hands and said respectfully: "Thank you, senior, for saving your life!"
The mysterious man stood up from his seat, floated down like a ghost, and said, "You have said this many times."
"The kindness of our predecessors will never be forgotten forever!"
The young man raised his head, his bloodless pupils showing gratitude and awe.
I saw this man with sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a resolute face, and a murderous aura that was both good and evil. It was the man who fought against the world's best master Xue Yang on Wuyun Mountain in Kanchen Province a year ago and fell into Tianchi.
There is no intermittent item!
Still the same face.
Still that confident.
The only thing that changed was that the flame mark between his eyebrows had disappeared.
The mysterious man smiled mysteriously, revealing a pair of ghostly eyes under his black robe, and said: "Oh, I didn't save you in vain."
Xiang Wujian immediately knelt down on one knee and said solemnly: "Senior, whatever your instructions, I will not hesitate to go through fire and water!"
The mysterious man's old voice became more and more mysterious as he spoke: "There is no need to go through fire and water, I don't need you to repay your kindness."
Xiang Wujian said doubtfully: "What does that senior mean..."
The mysterious man did not answer, but changed the subject and said a few enigmatic words:
"Your Xiang clan is an anomaly in the world, with an ancient history. You must have heard some legends about your ancestors. Under the Heaven-Aweing Sword, there is no life of humans and ghosts, and there is no life in the prison where gods and demons fear each other. It sweeps across the world.
For a strong man to challenge the majesty of a divine beast alone... that would be extremely glorious."
As soon as the old man said these words, Xiang Wujian, who had a look of reverence on his face, couldn't help but feel a little confused. His Xiang family was indeed prominent, but that was only in the secular world, and they also had such earth-shattering achievements in the world?
His heart stabilized, and he listened quietly without speaking. The black-eyed old man continued:
"But it is a pity that the real Xiang family has long existed in name only, and only the Shenzong lineage in the Central Plains still survives."
When the old man said this, Xiang Wujian stood up unconsciously. He stared motionlessly at the old man with unfathomable cultivation, his eyes full of shocked doubts.
"The real Xiang family? A lineage of Shenzong? Who are you?"
"The body of five spirits, with the karma of the five channels, can cultivate martial arts in the world. This is a miracle that only the Xiang family has the opportunity to be born. When all the power of the five spirits in the body is awakened, it can take charge of Wuling Mountain."
The old man changed the topic and ignored Xiang Wujian, who was even more confused. The two black pupils on his face flashed, and a majestic momentum came like a tsunami cloud. The five elements of vitality in the cave suddenly surged.
They became active and formed into colorful dragons that loomed in mid-air.
"Five spirit bodies!? You are..."
Xiang Wujian's solemn eyes suddenly expanded, as if he had seen a ghost in his dream, he pointed at the old man in black robe and stammered in horror.
"My descendants, I never thought that the Shenzong lineage could give birth to five spiritual bodies. I am the Tianzong, Xiang Tianya!"
The old man stood with his hands behind his hands and took off his robe and cap, revealing a stern face with loose black hair, thick eyebrows and broad eyes. His bronze face was filled with the majesty of a strong man in the world, and a pair of black pupils shone with majestic light.
"Tianzong?"
Xiang Wujian looked at the old man who showed his true appearance in shock and confusion. The five-spirited body in front of him was true, but he had no idea what the old man was talking about.
Xiang Tianya put away his invincible aura and said, "The Xiang family you belong to is just the tip of the iceberg. It is a branch of the Shenzong that descended from the mountain a hundred thousand years ago."
Xiang Wujian still maintained the expression on his face, listening to an ancient past event with shock and yearning.
"Why."
Xiang Tianya, who had just become a hero, suddenly let out a long sigh, as if he was extremely reluctant to think of certain things in the past. It wasn't until there was no response from this long sigh that he spoke again:
"The Xiang family has lived in Wuling Mountain in eastern Xinjiang for a long time. There are three lines of heaven, earth and gods in the family, headed by the heaven line and assisted by the second line of earth and god. The ancestors of the three lines respectively created the upper, middle and lower levels of the Evil Emperor's Record. In the prehistoric times, Xiang
The Xiang family is just a small clan in the human race. It followed many clans and participated in the war to expel the demon clan. Later, someone in the clan accidentally opened the five spirit bodies and gained supreme power. Due to the decline of other clans, the Xiang clan was able to
He soared into the sky and became the leader of the human race, leading thousands of cultivators to drive out the demon clan and occupy the Central Plains. Wuling Mountain also became one of the three giant sects in the world at that time, keeping pace with the Juntian Temple and Shura Prison of the demon clan.
Later, in order to ensure the peace of the world, with the instruction and help of the five divine beasts, my ancestors of the Xiang family, together with the Juntian Palace and the Shura Palace, built Jingzhou City in Jingzhou and founded Tianyi College."
"What? Jingzhou...Tianyi College is..."
The shock that Xiang Wujian experienced in the past twenty years could not be more severe than this half hour.
Xiang Tianya said proudly: "Hmph, if it weren't for our deterrence, how could the demon and human clans have the peaceful world they had then and now."
Xiang Wujian was silent for a while, suddenly caught something, and asked urgently: "Then you just said one hundred thousand years ago..."
As soon as he heard the words "hundred thousand years ago", the cold arrogance on Xiang Tianya's face disappeared a lot, and he said solemnly: "One hundred thousand years ago, the ancestors of the clan foresaw some huge dangers, and ordered the Shenzong lineage to
He sent his disciples to the fluorescent country and became the Xiaoyao King, in order to secretly preserve the bloodline of the Xiang family."
"Great danger? What danger?"
"Humph, there is a danger of genocide."
"Exterminate the clan?" Xiang Wujian's suppressed heart stirred up waves again, "As you said, our Xiang clan has the body of five spirits and leads the Central Plains. Who has the strength to destroy it? Could it be..."
He didn't dare to say the words "Five Divine Beasts", but they kept lingering on his lips without swallowing them. Because the strength of the Xiang family was already unparalleled in the world, the only one who could surpass them was the Five Divine Beasts.
Xiang Tianya did not give an answer this time, but said with a serious face: "After the Shenzong lineage sent people down the mountain, the disaster predicted by our ancestors never came. It was not until eight hundred years ago that the great disaster finally arrived."
"Who is it!"
Looking at Xiang Wujian, who was already furious, Xiang Tianya shook his head and said bitterly: "I don't know. Back then, I had a chance to escape because I went out to Zuhai, but I didn't expect that when I came back, everything on Wuling Mountain would have changed."
Xiang Tianya's words are full of vicissitudes of life, as if he has aged dozens of years in an instant.
At this moment, the deep and dark caves are surrounded by rings, as if there are countless cave entrances looming in all directions, wisps of colorful vitality flowing in the air, the light gradually falls and soon disappears, the five elements in the cave
The vitality also returned to calm.
But Xiang Wujian's heart could no longer calm down.
Xiang Tianya's appearance completely surprised him and basically disrupted his plans for the future.
After a long time, after Xiang Wujian had almost digested the news, Xiang Tianya sat back on his seat again, looking calmly at the sluggish descendants of the Xiang family.
After a while.
"Senior, why haven't you shown up to meet us for so many years?"
Xiang Wujian's eyes flashed with burning excitement. He definitely did not doubt Xiang Tianya's identity, because his aura and appearance could be faked, but he would never feel wrong about the bloodline marks of these five spiritual bodies.
After hearing this, Xiang Tianya smiled bitterly and said helplessly and angrily:
"Because I have been secretly investigating the person behind what happened back then!"
At this moment, Xiang Wujian's dull anger was like a lit bundle of wet firewood. The fire was not bright but thick smoke was billowing. What he had always believed was the Xiang family's grudge that his father told him, but unexpectedly, after "dying once", he learned
An even more incredible truth.
Then, he asked in awe: "Has the elder found any clues about the murderer?"
"You can say yes or you can say no."
Xiang Wujian was immediately speechless, looking at this strange yet familiar ancestor of the Xiang family with an embarrassed and confused expression.
A life-threatening silence once again swept across the dim ancient cave. The quiet light was like wisps of cold water swimming in the air, leaving streaks of light on the dark stone walls.
"Elder, how should we go in the future?"
For a long time, Xiang Wujian put all his emotions aside for the time being and asked the question that concerned him most at the moment.
Xiang Tianya narrowed his black eyes slightly and said attentively:
"You don't have to worry too much, I will continue to investigate the truth, but you, on the other hand, must be more careful when walking in the rivers and lakes in the future!"
"Junior understands."
How could Xiang Wujian not understand that his five-spirited body has become a "gluttonous feast" for every sect in the world, and everyone is flocking to it?
Xiang Tianya continued:
"I will arrange for you to enter Yanyu Tower, so that others will not easily discover your identity."
"Yanyu Tower?"
Xiang Wujian had just uttered three surprising words in his mouth, and whoosh! A ray of dim light suddenly shot out from Xiang Tianya's hand and floated in front of him.
Xiang Wujian is a smart man, and he figured out Xiang Tianya's arrangement in the blink of an eye. Yanyu Tower has always been extremely mysterious, and few people know the identity of the killer. It is definitely a good place to "hide".
But before he could realize it, Xiang Tianya's next words made him throw all doubts away.
"This is the supreme martial arts of the Xiang family - Evil Emperor Lu. It has always been passed down to the masters of the three sects. Now that you have awakened the five spiritual bodies, you are also qualified to be its successor."
Xiang Wujian used his trembling hands to take over a jade note in the dim halo of light in disbelief. Boom! A strong dizziness suddenly occurred in his mind, and his blood boiled. Then, it flickered in his empty heavenly spirit.
There are three strange handwritings written in a ghostly color: Evil Emperor's Record!
This is the supreme skill of the Xiang clan!
This is the deep confidence that once led the Xiang family to dominate the Central Plains and check and balance the world!
"The Evil Emperor's Record is derived from the Five Spirits' profound understanding of the great ways of heaven and earth. The third level of the Shen Sect battles the rivers and lakes, the third level of the Earth Sect battles the sky, and the third level of the Tian Sect battles reincarnation. You must keep it well and never reveal it, otherwise you will be provoked to death.
disaster!"
Xiang Wujian suppressed the trembling of his body and mind, thought in his throat for a moment, and finally said respectfully:
"Yes, disciple has noted it down."
Xiang Tianya looked at this young and promising junior with satisfaction, and his stern face finally showed a bit of relief. After eight hundred years of searching for the truth, it was fruitless. The discovery of another five-spirit body can be regarded as a blessing to the ancestors of the Xiang family.
explained.
After a while, the Xiang family leader suddenly asked: "Since the day I met you, there is a question I have been wanting to ask."
"Senior, I would like to ask you, I know everything I know and will tell you."
"There seems to be some mysterious power in your body."
Xiang Tianya looked sideways at Xiang Wujian and asked.
Xiang Wujian frowned slightly, obviously hesitating for a while, but still said truthfully:
"To be honest, this disciple once received the inheritance of the five divine beasts in the Pilu Immortal Realm of the Northern Wilderness!"
If the three heavenly kings of the Northern Wilderness Monster Realm heard these words, they would definitely be so angry that they would vomit blood. Xiang Wujian also agreed to the five divine beasts and kept this secret to this day. In fact, without this inheritance, his five spirit body
He won't wake up so quickly.
Xiang Tianya reacted for a long time, just nodded and said no more.
Half an hour later.
The silence of a tomb has returned to this ancient cave of unknown location.
Xiang Tianya looked at the direction Xiang Wujian was leaving and murmured in a low voice: "What are you guys planning?"
"Tick tock."
The clear sound of dripping water echoed the deep darkness.
Just a moment after Xiang Wujian left, the caves, caves, caves, caves, rocks, and caves disappeared together with Xiang Tianya in the blink of an eye, and the surrounding area turned into a deeper and darker place.
Deep in the darkness, there is a light like a waterfall.
The light fell on a dark pool of water, and a figure in black robes floated on the water, sitting cross-legged with his head lowered. It was impossible to tell that he was a living thing.
Suddenly, a series of trivial sounds rang out in the darkness, and paper-white flames hung high on both sides of the stone wall, like ghosts.
Under the pale firelight, a bright green stone road stretched out from the darkness.
Soon, "ta da da", a series of careful and steady footsteps came from the road.
A man in purple robe half-knelt in front of the black pool, showing his pale lower jaw, and said to the people on the pool with great respect:
"See my lord!"
"How's the plan going?"
A sound like cutting emerald swept over, making the half-kneeling purple-robed man tremble all over, and said excitedly:
"Your Majesty, Liang Mu and Wei Huo have led Di Xuan's second group to the Xingyun Desert. It is estimated that they will reach Xuanwu Mountain in half a month."
"Very good. I have ordered Xiang Wujian to join Yanyu Tower, please make arrangements as soon as possible. Remember, unless it is extremely important, do not interfere with any of his actions."
The ghost figure on the black pool raised its eyes slightly, its breathtaking black eyes showing a cold light that was indifferent to the common people.
This face is actually the face of Xiang Tianya who stood in front of Xiang Wujian not long ago!
The man in purple robe said carefully: "Yes, I should handle it properly. It's just..."
"explain."
"My Lord, do you want the news about Bai Yunsheng's people to be spread?"
After Xiang Tianya pondered for a moment, he ordered:
"No, nothing can happen to them right now. You just need to take care of this mission. It's best not to fail again!"
"Yes, I am resigning!"
The kneeling man in purple robe stood up straight, and at the moment he turned around, he revealed a face with pale blood pupils, murderous to the bone, as if what was covered in the robe was not a person, but a bloodthirsty sword.
Once the murderous intention is revealed, a river of blood will flow!
After the purple-robed man left, the paper-colored will-o'-the-wisp suddenly went out.
"call."
In an instant, the scene changed again, brilliant colorful lights filled the sight. After the light calmed down, a vast and magnificent map appeared in front of Xiang Tianya.
This light pattern was more than fifty feet long, like a brilliant nebula embedded in the vast deep sky.
Strips of snow-white light outline the mountains and rivers of the four deserts and five continents. The map depicts lifelike mountains, forests, lakes, seas, and magma swamps, all colorful and fantastic.
But the most eye-catching thing is the five-color light spots shining in the light pattern, like stars scattered in the sky, seemingly disordered, but hidden in the road.
Xiang Tianya stood alone under the light map, his cold black eyes staring closely at the stars on the map.
Among them, the southernmost ones have turned gray, and the stars in other directions are flickering, like candles in the wind.
Xiang Tianya's eyes are focused on a yellow star in the southwest, which is the boundary of Kunshan Buzhou.
At this moment, the star's light is still bright.
Xiang Tianya waved his robe sleeves, and the map under the starlight instantly enlarged, and a desert slowly emerged, with rolling yellow sand and romantic sand. In the deepest part of the desert, a faint shadow of a mountain could be seen.
"Chacha."
A string of intermittent laughter floated in this unknown cave.
"Bai Yunsheng, how can you escape from my grasp?"
Xiang Tianya glanced at the mountains and rivers above with a strange expression, his black eyes flashed with a cold light, and the black hair on his head turned white in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, if Bai Yunsheng stood in front of him, his mind would be completely confused, as if he had been struck by lightning.
Because this face was exactly the same as the old Xiqi man he had seen in Jingzhou!
…
Out of this world.
As a burst of dazzling white light faded, Xiang Wujian left the ancient cave in the mountains and stood under an inverted pyramid. Colorful brilliance flowed up from the top of the tower along the five edges, reflecting bursts of colors in the green sky.
"Xiao Mitian, I'm leaving again."
There was a bit of sadness in Xiang Wujian's firm gaze as always, and the memories of the past resurfaced again, but they were all related to those four people. The Tianwei Sword carried behind him seemed to feel the fluctuations in the Lord's emotions, buzzing
It buzzed and trembled.
"I said goodbye to Wuyun Mountain. I didn't expect that I am the only one left now..."
Xiang Wujian whispered, turned around, and left without looking back.
