Locust

Chapter 391 Eight Hundred Side Doors
Time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle.

Cultivation has no time, so Cao Cuo’s retreat actually took 13 years...

The golden boat on the Styx transformed into a carp and walked with the dragon-headed golden turtle tribe in the undercurrent. They encountered several crises along the way, but three tyrants controlled the green locust swarm and came forward to solve them, and they were able to avert dangers.

During this period, a large number of monsters in the sea turned into the blood food of the green locust swarm. Even if the sea monsters from the Hedao realm came to attack, they would drop a few pieces of meat and then run away in despair.

Only when entering the sea of ​​​​mirages, the mirage fog increased, and the illusion was so heavy that the Dragon Head Golden Ao group was lost in it for a month, unable to find the original direction of the waterway.

Therefore, the three tyrants directly dispatched a large number of green locusts to explore the path, and met a large number of mirages in the fog, like inch-long hornless dragons, clothed in seven-color rays of light, in the rising phantom fog, Yin and Yang. Couple and produce offspring...

The fog that covers the mirage sea is transformed by the breath of these little guys. The endless fog is like a natural barrier, isolating the inside and outside.

Their population numbered in the hundreds of millions, covering the sky and covering almost all areas of the mirage sea. They continued to multiply and grow by feeding on the light of the sun, moon and stars.

The mirage mist transformed by the breath of countless mirage insects is colorful in color. Once it comes into contact, it can induce hallucinations and confusion in living beings, like falling into a dream and unable to wake up.

When the Dragon Head Jin Ao clan entered the mirage sea, it was during the reproduction period of the mirage clan and it was also when they were at their most violent. The deepening of the green locust swarm caused these insects to become ferocious and attack in groups...

Fortunately, although the number of mirage groups is larger, their quality and cooperative attack power are not as good as that of the green locust swarm.

Therefore, after a fierce battle, a small number of casualties, and the use of Yi Dao's deduction skills to determine the direction, the dragon-headed golden ao group safely passed through and officially entered the mirage sea.

At this time, it was exactly one year since Cao Cuo went into seclusion.

The Dragon Head Jin'ao clan has also officially returned to the Mirage Sea clan's land - Jin'ao Island.

There are more than five hundred golden turtles here, the strongest one has a carapace more than ten thousand feet wide, has a life span of nearly ten thousand years, and has the cultivation of the peak realm of returning to the void.

After the three tyrants had a "friendly" exchange with him, Lao Jin'ao "happily" gave up the best piece of blessed land on the island.

Everyone in the Stone Sect temporarily settled here and built a Biyou Palace. Based on this, they began to explore the sea of ​​​​mirages...

……

Biyou Palace is nine levels high, like an imperial green emerald, and filled with colorful rays of light.

In fact, this is the transformation of the Styx Golden Boat. Most of its hull is buried deep underground, and what is exposed above is the Nine Layers Crystal Pavilion.

It just changed the color and shape of the periphery and named it Biyou Palace to blend into the sea of ​​mirages and give it a name to get information.

The ninth floor of the Crystal Pavilion.

In the colorful glow, Cao Cuo slowly woke up from his hibernation, with a slight smile on his lips.

"After 13 years of retreat, I finally disassembled half of the essence of the Future Star Sutra and incorporated it all into the stars in the sky..."

As soon as he thought about it, a group of colorful starlight suddenly exploded behind him, like a giant, standing majestically in the sea of ​​​​stars, and his whole body was covered with colorful starlight that moved regularly in star trails.

His face is very similar to Cao Cuo, but it has a slightly aged look, as if he is another "Cao Cuo" in the future world, shrouded in a mysterious void, incompatible with this time and space... …

The colorful starlight intertwines and changes in eternity and moment, and is ever-changing. It seems that there are endless possibilities...

And every possibility can be seen by the giant's starry eyes, and every future can be controlled by the giant's starry hands...

boom!click.

The colorful starlight giant exploded and turned into an infinite star disk that filled the entire crystal pavilion. The stars were connected, and Yi Dao's myriad ideas emerged from it to deduce the infinite secrets of the heaven, earth and universe...

During these 13 years of seclusion and cultivation, Cao Cuo's tactics of sea of ​​​​insects were used to dissect and understand the essence of the Future Constellations Sutra. The reason why it took so long was that he had the latest insights in the middle of the practice.

Not only did he transform half of the Future Constellations Sutra into the Zhoutian Starry Dou, but he also refined the Destiny Dharma Wheel into it.

The magical characteristic of "no more counting", when it coincides with Zhou Tianxingdou, there will be quite miraculous changes immediately.

Seven years ago, a Mahayana sage once again deduced where Cao Cuo was, and the stars in the sky rotated on their own to resist.

This time, the confrontation lasted for seven days before the other party broke through the magical properties of "no more counting" and obtained information. And this information was a clone of the Son of Blood left by Cao Cuo in the undercurrent of the East China Sea...

Cao Cuo smiled slightly and said: "My Yi Dao attainments have reached a completely new level. It is no longer difficult for outsiders to deduce our specific location." Of course, his Yi Dao deduction attainments are still far behind compared to the true sages in the Mahayana realm. But it is more than enough for self-protection.

With a thought, the colorful starlight shrank into the body.

With a gentle wave of his sleeves, the colorful glow that has persisted all year round also disperses.

Three figures who had been waiting for a long time also entered the ninth floor from the eighth floor of the Crystal Pavilion.

"See the leader! Congratulations to the leader for his great improvement in supernatural power."

The visitors were none other than Shenjun Tieqiu, Chu Hongxiu, and Han Chong.

"No need to be polite." Cao Cuo waved his hand, glanced at the three of them, nodded gently and said, "Yes, your strength has improved a lot. It seems that you have gained a lot in the Mirage Sea over the years. "

Hong Xiu smiled sweetly and said: "The Sea of ​​Mirages is where the scattered cultivators of the East China Sea gather together, and all kinds of left-handed magic techniques emerge in endlessly."

"Over the years, we have followed the leader's decree before going into retreat and collected the left-right methods and supernatural powers and secret techniques here at high prices. When we sorted them out, we have benefited a lot from them."

Lord Tieqiu cupped his hands and said: "Although these secret techniques of the Left Dao are somewhat different from the true teachings of the great religions, they are more effective in winning by surprise. They are unique in their subtlety."

"The so-called three thousand avenues and eight hundred side doors lead to the same goal through different paths. These casual cultivators in the East China Sea have found a way from the side to the right path. Some of the miraculous arts of the left path also touch the threshold of the law. Even for monks in the realm of great power, there are It’s quite a help.”

After a pause, he sincerely complimented: "The leader asked us to collect these left-dao miraculous arts. It is really a wise move. These East China Sea inheritance collected within can greatly increase the heritage of the Dahe Dynasty and our sect."

Seeing that the other two people had spoken, Han Chong also raised his hand and said seriously: "Not only that, some left-field methods and supernatural powers can seriously damage the body, but their cultivation progress and power are extremely great."

"The disciples of this sect have green locust poison to protect their bodies. Their foundation is strong and stable, and their vitality and resilience far exceed those of the monks from the East China Sea. Therefore, they are uniquely blessed by practicing these left-field methods and can maximize their benefits and avoid their harms."

"In the past 12 years, most of the disciples on the boat have made breakthroughs in their realm..."

Cao Cuo nodded slightly and asked: "During my retreat, were there any casualties among the disciples in the sect? Is there anything major happening on Jin'ao Island?"

Hongxiu replied: "We have always followed the leader's decree and kept a low profile in the mirage sea. The disciples in the sect rarely go out unless they are performing tasks."

"However, this mirage sea is a place where fish and dragons are mixed. It is a place of constant disputes and bloody fighting. Over the years, 37 disciples who have traveled have inevitably lost their lives. However, according to the guidance of the green locust Gu, the sect has searched for them one by one. Returning to the corpse did not reveal the existence of the Stone Cult and the Green Locust Gu."

"Moreover, we also carried out retaliatory actions against the bandits and thieves who took action, which can be said to have frightened most of the greedy people..."

In the past ten years or so, although Shi Jiao and others have been keeping a low profile, not being involved in cause and effect, and not messing with bandits, they have spent a lot of money. They have purchased left-right inheritance at high prices in many markets in the sea of ​​​​mirages, and they have already fallen into the hands of those who are interested. In eyes.

Money moves people's hearts, and classic dramas of killing people and seizing treasures are constantly happening.However, this time, the bloody bandit in the mirage sea kicked the iron plate.People in the Stone Cult never cause trouble, but they are never afraid of trouble.

All those who had been stained with the blood of Shijiao disciples, without exception, were thrown into the underworld and buried with the people they killed.

The forces behind some of the bloody bandits uprooted the Stone Sect. All the wealth accumulated over the years was put into the Styx Golden Boat Treasure House, injecting new funds into the Stone Sect's great cause of purchasing left-right inheritance...

Hongxiu continued: "Jin'ao Island has been calm for many years. The only major event is that three years ago, there was a peak return to the void master who wanted to sneak into Biyou Palace to find out where we were."

"This person is a well-known evil cultivator in the East China Sea. He only has a peripheral force under his control and asked us to eliminate him. Therefore, he has a grudge and wants to find out where we are and then take revenge."

Speaking of this, Hongxiu sneered and said: "I never thought that the void escape technique that he was so proud of would be like child's play in front of the three tyrants, so he directly trapped us in the Styx formation to capture and kill him. The forces behind him, Also within a year after his death, it was divided between allies and enemies and disappeared into thin air.”

"Since then, it has been spread among the bloody bandits that Biyou Palace is the secret sect of a certain Hedao demon. Very few thieves dare to come here to cause trouble for us."

Cao Cuo smiled softly and said: "Punch away with one punch to avoid hundreds of punches coming. The atmosphere of this mirage sea is that the strong are respected and the weak are treated as flesh and blood. It is really straightforward..."

After a pause, he stared at the three of them and asked seriously: "Do you have any clues about the island I asked you to find?"

The island he was referring to was exactly the island that Old Man Xuehe remembered. It was probably a void node leading to the Dragon Belly Black Sea in the Poisonous Dragon Kingdom.

The purpose of Cao Cuo's coming to this mirage sea was first to allow the ashes and remains of the old man Xuehe, who was half a teacher, to return to his roots and his soul to his hometown.

The second is to find the mysterious stone tablet recording the unnamed scripture, explore its secrets, and incorporate it into one's own Styx Dharma to enrich the foundation...
